PURIFICATION BY FIRE
Jeannie must have taken her purse into the bedroom because she was clutching it against her breasts. I pushed her into the hall and grabbed her elbow so firmly she cried out. Her face was white and she was shaking so hard she almost couldn't walk. I dragged her down the hall toward the flickering glow of the flames in the fireplace. I carried the ripped clothing in a bundle in my other hand. Several partially-dressed couples moved quickly out of our way when they saw my face.
When we reached the fireplace, I stopped. "Just stand right there, you cheap, lying, adulterous slut!" Several people heard me, and Jeannie turned scarlet as they stared at her. I could smell pussy and cum on her from ten feet away, and I'm sure others could as well. Tears continued to stream down her face.
I lowered the cooking grate, turned the flames up as high as they would go, opened one of the glass doors, and tossed Jeannie's pantyhose into the fireplace. They twisted on the grill for an instant, then burst into flames. In seconds they were gone. I opened the glass door again and threw in the guy's shirt. It too flashed brightly and disappeared. His glasses were next. They were plastic, and I could smell them burning as they almost exploded before they were quickly gone.
I burned everything he had been wearing, including his expensive Italian shoes. As they slowly disappeared into ashes, I watched the remains of his wallet rapidly turning to charcoal. I watched one of his keys melt onto the metal grate until it was a shapeless black mass. His watch took a little longer, but it too finally melted into a charred blob and fell off the grate.
I listened to Jeannie's sobs as I stared at the flames for several minutes after everything had been burned. I could smell the sex on her even though I was standing close to the remains of the clothing I'd burned. I was trying to decide what I would do next, and I was starting to lose control. Thoughts of killing both her and her lover pulled appealingly at me. I thought of stripping her naked and offering her to all of the men in the room. She could be another Vivian. I could burn her clothes and let her figure out how to get home naked. The sounds from a couple fucking somewhere behind me interrupted my perverse ideas for humiliating my unfaithful wife.
Once again I finally regained a modicum of self-control. I turned back to Jeannie. "It's time to take your sloppy, dripping, fucked cunt back to our happy home, you cheating bitch." Several people thought this was funny, and they laughed. Jeannie sobbed. I took her by the elbow again and walked her quickly through the house. We exited through the front door into the harsh glare of the outdoor lighting. The temperature was noticeably cooler than it had been a couple of hours before. I unlocked the car and got into the driver's seat. I started the engine. "If you want to ever go home again, get in." She was terrified of me, and I waited.
She was crying so hard her nose was running, but she finally opened her door and got in. "I want . . . I want to see my babies!" she whined.
"Tough shit, you cheating bitch. That's more than you deserve."
THE NOT SO HAPPY HOME
I drove us home in total, angry silence. When Jeannie tried to say something, I threatened to kill her if she didn't shut up. Her crying tapered off to sniffling about halfway there. She reeked of sex. In such an enclosed space I could hardly endure the stench, so I made her open her window. The outside air blowing over her damp clothes and wet body was cold enough to make her shiver. "Get used to feeling cold. You haven't begun to feel how icy things are going to get. I was ready to share your cunt with every man there before I slit your throat. You're lucky to be alive. Well, maybe not so lucky." She began to cry again, this time really sobbing. Her entire body was shaking. From fear? From the cold? From shame? I really didn't care.
I parked in our driveway and turned off the engine. I squeezed my hands around the wheel and listened to the clicking sounds from the engine. I took a couple of deep breaths before I decided what I could manage to endure. Yes, I could let her go into our home without killing her. But it would be difficult, particularly in our bedroom.
"Do something with your face. You really look like shit. And wipe that snot off your nose. Then you pay Katie and send her home. She'll see the stains all over your clothes. She'll gag on the fuck-stench than envelops you. She may be young and inexperienced, but she'll understand that you're just a cheap slut."
Jeannie had the decency to blush and look embarrassed. "Jim, NO! Don't drag Katie into this! It's unfair! I don't want to have her know that . . . "
"Fuck you! Unfair? That's not a word you understand! Katie earned her money, but I'm not paying for your fuck time with your lover. You pay her. And show her what an adulterous bitch you really are!"
I left Jeannie sobbing in the car and I went into the house alone. I told Katie that Jeannie would pay her when she came in, and I stomped angrily toward the bedroom. Katie could certainly tell that I was dangerously enraged, but she ran down the hall after me anyway. In a nervous voice she said, "There's some man who's been c-c-calling every few minutes. He keeps a-a-asking for you. He wouldn't give me his n-name." I told her I'd pick up the phone in the bedroom if it rang again. She ran quickly back to the living room, obviously trying to get as far from me as she possibly could. She had been suspicious of my behavior earlier, but now she knew she was in the middle of something terrible. She just didn't know how terrible it really was. I wondered if I did, either. Perhaps ten minutes later I heard the thud of the front door as Katie left. Jeannie came into the bedroom. Her face still looked terrible. We stood facing each other. The look on my face made her start to cry again. I stared at her, wondering how the hell we had reached this point in our lives. I turned on every light in the room. The cum and pussy-juice stains on her clothes were now completely visible. Knowing what caused the acrid stench almost made me gag.
"Take off your clothes. I want to see my freshly-fucked, cheating whore-slut of a wife's body. I want . . . " The ringing telephone interrupted the rest of the tirade I planned to deliver. I picked the phone up after the second ring as Jeannie stared open- mouthed at me. A look of fear and shame covered her face. Good.
I grunted, "Yeah?" into the mouthpiece.
"Jim? Look, man, I'm sorry about your wife! But what the hell did you do with my clothes? And glasses? I'm calling from the bedroom and . . . "
"I burned them. Everything. Even your silk boxers. All ashes."
There was silence for a moment. "What about my wallet? I had over two grand in it! Did you take it? And my Rolex! And my keys? What . . ."
"Gone, asshole. Burned to a crisp. All of it."
"Look, Jim! This isn't funny! Jeannie started this! I just went along 'cause she wanted to get laid! Hey, man, you know how it is, right? An eager cunt's an available cunt! So what was I supposed to do when she . . ."
"I don't even know your name. But Jeannie's cunt isn't 'available' to you anymore. Ever. Got that?"
"Jim, be reasonable! I don't have any clothes and . . ."
"I'm hanging up. If you EVER call this number again, I'll find you and kill you! So why don't you call me right back. I'd like that. Then you won't have to worry about being naked. Or anything else. Ever."
I slammed the phone down. Jeannie was staring at me. "Was that . . ."
I took in a long breath and released it slowly. "Yeah. Him. The guy you cheated with. The buy who gave you that screaming orgasm I could hear from the hall! The guy you rubbed your . . . wet and slimy trench so lovingly against. He called you an 'eager cunt.' So show it to me. Strip!"
Jeannie hesitated, then bent down to take off her shoes. She stopped when she saw me taking out my penknife. "Jim, what are you going to . . ."
"Shut the fuck up, you cheating tramp!" I said in a loud whisper. "You're never going to wear any of these clothes again. I don't want to see them and be reminded of what I learned about you tonight! And saw! And heard! And smelled!"
Jeannie handed me her shoes, and I slashed them with my knife. When I looked up, Jeannie was staring at me with real terror in her eyes. She obviously thought I was going to kill her. That was still a possibility, and I didn't try to make her think differently. I glared at her but she just stared at me and didn't take off the rest of her clothes.
