Ashley woke up on Friday morning in an empty bed. Scott had slept on the couch after she admitted to her makeout session with Mr. Pendleton, the elderly widowed client of their landscaping business. The memory made her put her hand to her face and breathe out to find that her breath still reeked of his. She brushed her teeth about a dozen times since she'd gotten home and his territory had still been marked.
She still can't believe she had let it happen. A little peck would've been bad enough, but she had actually made out with him for two hours. She remembered sucking on his tongue and showing him her bare breasts. She had even given him a handjob for part of it. And she couldn't forget that, for a brief moment, his penis had been in her mouth.
She obviously didn't tell her husband that. All he knew was that they had made out for almost the entire duration of My Fair Lady. And that wasn't a lie. It really was the bulk of what had happened.
And today, Ashley had the task of going to Mr. Pendleton to tell him he won't be seeing her again.
She wasn't sure what had come over her in the moment, but her clear mind this morning couldn't imagine ever having enjoyed that old man's tongue being in her mouth. She could barely keep from vomiting at the memory of it.
However, she had been anything but disgusted when the film had come to a close and a strange man's penis was in her married mouth. In fact, the sole reason she had started laundry before going to bed the night before was to hide the fact that her panties had been dripping wet.
She decided to get up and start her day. She stretched and made her way out of the bedroom into the living room. She saw the couch was unoccupied, which meant Scott was up. She continued into the kitchen to find him at the counter making coffee.
"Hi," she said with trepidation.
"Good morning," He replied coldly. "When are you going to see your boyfriend?"
"He's not my boyfriend." She rolled her eyes.
"Fine. Your friend with benefits."
"That's not a good description of what happened last night either."
"Then how would you describe it?"
"Charity."
"Wow. You went to some great lengths for charity. You should work for Make-a-Wish!"
"Honey, do you honestly think I enjoyed it?"
"I don't see how you could, but I also don't see how you could do it so long if you didn't."
"I just felt bad for him. He was a sweet guy that just wants his wife back."
"But you're not his wife. You're my wife."
"I know. And I'm sorry. I can guarantee I won't let it happen again."
He smiled in response and she walked up to to hug him and give him a kiss. As she got close, he held out a hand and pressed two fingers to her forehead.
"Sorry, babe, but your breath is still pretty rank. I love you, but you're not getting any closer."
She looked ashamed until she saw the smile on his face.
"So when are you going?"
"I'm going to stop by this morning. I figured that's safer than going after work."
"Why don't I drive you over there? Would that make you feel better?"
Ashley nodded.
At that moment, their seven year old daughter, Ally, walked in the kitchen.
"What's for breakfast?"
"Well what do you want?" Ashley asked as she picked up the little girl.
"Not whatever you had!" She plugged her nose. "Your breath stinks!"
Scott could not contain his laughter at that.
Ashley stood in trepidation as she rang the doorbell to Mr. Pendleton's house. She looked back at the work truck in the driveway where Scott sat waiting for her. He waved. She smiled back. He really was a great man. She was lucky to have him and she really shouldn't mess this up.
She turned back to the front door as it opened and she saw Mr. Pendleton standing there in his robe.
"Well hello dear! I was expecting you this evening."
"I know. I just wanted to talk to you. Can I come in?"
"Of course." He waved for her to enter and, once she did, he shut the door behind her.
She felt his hand grab onto her butt. She was about to ask him to remove it, but it seemed tame compared to last night, so she just dealt with it.
"So," he said, "you wore my favorite pair of shorts today."
"These are just what I wear to work." She turned around and his hand released her.
"Listen, Jim. I came to tell you that I made a mistake last night. We can't ever see each other again. I'm glad I could fill the gap your wife left for one evening. And thank you for making me feel special. But I'm married and I need to be faithful to my husband."
