Jean's Wounded Warrior Project
Chapter 6 Jean's Downfall
I dedicate this story to all the brave men and women in uniform who have served this country.
Warning:
I wanted to post this chapter in the category "First Time,' but 'Nonconsent / Reluctance' beats 'First Time.' This chapter also contains heavy elements of 'Incest / Taboo,' "Interracial,' 'Loving Wifes,' and even a little 'BDSM.' If you don't like dark stories, I suggest you avoid this one.
This story takes place in the late 1960s.

The next time I attempted to phone Robert, they transferred my call to the ICU. I was put on hold and left to worry. While waiting, I thought it weirdly inappropriate that the hospital's music was James Taylor's 'I've seen fire, and I've seen rain.'
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
I'd become addicted to Robert's stories about my wife when she was barely an adult, so I hoped I would see him again. Waiting on hold gave me plenty of time to pray for his recovery.
Finally, a nurse answered. "Hello, ICU. How can I help you?"
"I'm trying to reach Robert Williams, and they transferred my call to you. What's going on?"
"Are you a relative?"
"Robert is my brother-in-law. Is he all right?"
"Corporal Williams collapsed yesterday evening and had emergency surgery for an intracerebral hemorrhage. The surgeon successfully halted the bleeding after he removed several pieces of shrapnel and bone fragments that had migrated. He is currently in a medically induced coma. I'm sorry, but we won't know his mental condition until he regains consciousness."
"Oh dear God. Does his mother know?"
"She's at his bedside. Unfortunately, there are no phones in the ICU rooms. Do you want me to ask her to call you?"
"Can you ask her to call this evening? Robert's sister will be home after six."
"I'm sorry that I don't have better news. All we can do now is pray. You can call again in a couple of days. Now, I have to get back to my patients.
For once, Jean got home from work early. She was devastated by the news and didn't wait for her mother to call. I fixed her a strong drink while she called the Army hospital and waited on hold. The ICU nurse gave her the same information that she'd given me.
After my wife got off the phone, I asked if she wanted to fly back to the hospital in California. Jean shook her head.
"It wouldn't be fair to my elderly patients to bring in a substitute. A couple of them are close to the end, and we have established a bond. Besides, there's nothing I can do for Robbie while he's in a coma that my mom can't do."
I was happy with my wife's decision. Our relationship was tense enough without Jean returning to the hospital where she'd met Derek. The truth was that I still didn't trust her despite her promise that her affair with the wounded warrior had been a mistake that would never happen again.
Calling cross country is always tricky because of the time difference, and it didn't help that Jean's mom was under intense stress. She made the classic mistake of calling at six her time. Jean was on her third vodka tonic when she answered her mom's call a little after nine East Coast time.
We shared the headset while my mother-in-law repeated what the nurse had said about Robert's condition. I let my wife have the phone while she spent the next half hour consoling her mom.
The following week was hell for my wife. It was obvious that she loved her brother deeply. Her relationship with him was much closer than mine with my sisters. Her affection for him tore at my heartstrings, but it provided one more piece of evidence that Robert's stories might be true.
I also took his illness hard. During our lengthy phone calls, I'd developed a friendship with the man I'd barely known. I tried to convince myself it was genuine affection and not a selfish desire to hear the rest of his tales about the woman I thought I knew.
Robert was in a coma for close to a week and stayed in the ICU for another couple of weeks. It gave Jean and me something safe to talk about and provided me time to reflect on our marriage. Could we save it? Did I even want to continue living with someone I couldn't trust? Still, I put off talking to my wife, and the longer I did, the harder it was to bring up the painful subject of my wife's adultery.
Somehow, Jean thought her brief explanation about her relationship with Derek had ended the discussion. In her professional opinion, she had done what any psychologist would do to prevent a patient from committing suicide. My pain should have been obvious, but I guess even psychologists can be blind to what is under their noses.
I also had been dealing with gut-wrenching guilt since I had watched my wife's seduction from hiding. I could have put a stop to it at any point. However, I had been so aroused watching Derek intimately dancing with my wife and slowly striping her naked that I kept putting off my protest until it was too late. Even then, watching the powerful black soldier fucking my wife had been the most breathtaking sexual act I had ever observed. The massive load of cum I unleashed on the balcony was proof of my betrayal.
At least I didn't have to worry that Derek had impregnated my wife. Jean had gotten her period ten days after she returned from Fort Drum. It was hard to believe the big black soldier hadn't knocked her up. If I'd been thinking straight, I would have been concerned about our chances of conceiving a baby together.
However, his failure hadn't eliminated the elephant in the room. I didn't know if my wife was in love with her wounded warrior. I knew she had strong feelings for him, but hopefully, that was just her attachment to a patient she was treating. I didn't need to see a psychologist to realize I had trust issues.
Jean came home late every night and talked to her mother about Robert's condition while picking at the dinner I'd prepared. Her hour-long phone calls left little time for us to discuss our issues.
It was nearly a month before I talked to Robert again. His brain hemorrhage had caused additional damage to those areas of the brain, affecting motor control. He had to begin physical therapy all over again. His speech was slightly slurred when we greeted each other. I was relieved to find his memory appeared intact, and after my brief reminder, he plunged back into his tale where he had left off.

Jean screamed, " Robert, no! Oh God, no."
My friends and I stared at my sister as she reacted to my revelation that her superpower was sucking cock. I saw her beautiful face contorted in anger and her body trembling with a flood of hormones. Boy, was she pissed at me. She never called me Robert unless she was furious. The tension in the room was as nakedly obvious as my sister's gorgeous bare breasts. James handed her a joint. It seemed to be my San Francisco friend's answer to everything. Jean took a couple of slow deep hits of the adulterated joint while she glared at me.
My sister was worried about her reputation, but I'd been careful not to reveal that I was the one whose cock she'd been sucking. When no one called her a slut and the sky didn't fall, she began to calm down a little.
Joey said, "I'd gladly accept a blow job in place of the lap dance she cheated me out of."
My sister took a third hit and turned her angry eyes on Joey. I felt relieved not to be the center of attention. After glaring at my Italian friend for a minute, my sister turned and smiled at James.
"Jim, can you hand me the bottle?"
There was only an inch of whiskey left in the bottle James handed her. I watched my sister tilt her head back and drain the cheap whiskey. She gave the empty bottle to James and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
"Fine, I'll do it, but if anyone talks about it outside this room, I'll rip off their balls and stuff them down your throat."
Everyone promised to keep it quiet. Jean asked them to move the coffee table. She told Joey to take off his boxers while she changed the music to Little Richard's cover of "Blueberry Hill." Jean knelt between the Italian's wide-spread thighs as the slow song began to play. It was one of my sister's favorites.
