Retaliation By DG Hear

A big ‘Thank You' to WanderingScot for taking the time to edit my story and make it a much better read.

Chapter 1

I was trying to think of a name for this story. It could have been, ‘Getting Even', ‘Retribution', ‘Revenge', or even ‘Getting Fucked By My Best Friend'. I decided that ‘Retaliation' fit the bill. Then I had to decide on a category. It fits in so many such as ‘Mature', ‘Erotic Couples', ‘Interracial' (seeing I'm of mixed race), and ‘Romance'. I chose ‘Adultery', even though she wasn't my wife. You'll see why if you decide to read this story.

My name is Sam, short for Samuel. I'm of mixed race due to my ancestors. My grandfather was black and my grandmother was of Asian descent. My dad was rather dark skinned and so am I. To complete the interracial picture, my mom was Mexican. I will say she was and still is a beautiful woman. Maybe that's where I got my good looks from, just kidding.

My story begins with me and my best friend Bill. He is a white guy or to be politically correct a Caucasian dude. At one time we were the best of friends but that isn't the case any longer. We have gone our separate ways a little over a year ago while we were still in college.

We met in grade school and even hung out together most all the time. We always tried to outdo the other. In sports he was usually one step behind me. It always pissed him off. We both ended up playing college ball. He was pissed when I received a full ride scholarship and his was a partial one.

He said it was because I was of mixed race and his family having money. It never paid to argue with him when he always threw race into the mix. As far as having money goes he was right. His family was rich. They owned a packaging business. They would package brand name products for many different companies.

His mother inherited the business from her father. She was president of the company and controlled most of the purse strings. Bill's dad was an outside salesman for the company. He was also the vice-president.

My family was middle class. Dad worked as an insurance agent and mom worked in a ladies fashion shop. Bill's mom shopped at the store where my mom worked so they knew each other.

As I mentioned Bill always tried to one up me in everything. He would brag whenever he beat me in anything which wasn't very often. About the only time it bothered me was when we dated different girls. In high school some girls said they couldn't go out with me because of my race. So when Bill went out with them he always bragged about it.

Once we got into college things changed. The girls didn't have their parents there telling them who they could and couldn't date. I dated women of all races. We both dated some of the same girls. We did have a pact that if one of us got serious about a girl the other would keep his hands and other body parts off.

Even though we both played football I was also an honor student. I wanted to become a Certified Public Accountant. Bill just wanted to get a business degree. He told me he knew he would be in the family business so he didn't need to try that hard.

When we went home to visit after our junior year, Bill's mom told me when we graduated she had a position for me in the office. In the coming year they would be extending their business, adding another building. She was hoping that I could be in charge of the accounting for both offices.

I gave her a big hug and thanked her. She always looked and smelled so good. I can't remember how many wet dreams I had about her while growing up. Too bad she was Bill's mom. Her husband was known to cheat on Mary whenever given a chance. I had seen him more than once with other women. I'm sure Mary knew about him but never said anything.

I told Bill that his mother offered me a job when I graduated. He told me I would probably be working for him. He was going to be running the new warehouse. I couldn't tell him I would be in the office and he would more than likely be reporting to me. I figured I'd just wait and see what transpired.

In our senior year I met a woman named Sasha. She, like me, was of mixed blood. So beautiful and an olive color. I fell for her pretty quickly. She was so good in bed and would do most anything. We did it in almost every position except she wouldn't let me fuck her in the ass.

When I told Bill about her, I reminded him of our pact and to keep his hands off of her. At the time he was going with a good looking girl named Judy but when it came to looks, Sasha was special. She had this exotic and mysterious look. I fell pretty hard for her and thought we would maybe have a future together.

I didn't date any other women. I didn't need anyone else since I had Sasha. Whenever we had sex I always used a condom when I was in her pussy. I would often pull it out, take off the condom and come on her tits and belly. I did my best to see she came first.

****

I was named player of the game twice during the season. Of course Bill wasn't so he was pissed at me rather than being happy for me as a friend. Before the Christmas vacation I received all A's on my report card and made the Dean's list. I was so happy that I took Sasha out on the town and then we fucked all night.

For New Year's we were going to a party with Bill and Judy. Not long after we got there Judy said she wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home. Since I drove Bill asked me if I could take her home. I offered him my keys but he said he had already drunk too much.

Judy apologized to me and said she shouldn't have come but Bill told her she should try. I told her it couldn't be helped that she was sick and that I would take her home. I told Bill to watch after Sasha while I was gone. A lot of guys would probably want to hit on her.

I walked Judy to the car and took her home. I walked her to the door to make sure she would be okay. "Thank you Sam, you are a good friend."

I kissed her on the cheek and wished her a Happy New Year and hoped she would be feeling better, then headed back to the party.

It was held in this huge house and there must have been hundreds of people all over the grounds both inside and outside the house. I kept looking for Bill and Sasha and couldn't find them. One gal told me that she thought she seen them going upstairs. I couldn't understand what they would be going up there for. It was mostly bedrooms, another living room and a bathroom.

I started looking through the different rooms and when I opened one of the bedroom doors, I saw Bill fucking Sasha. I couldn't believe it - he knew how I felt about her and what about our pact?

At first they didn't even know I was in the room. The only light was from a night light near the bed. "Oh fuck Baby, Sam was right, you are one good fuck. Come on give me some more of that fine pussy."

When I walked toward the bed Sasha looked over at me. She looked surprised but didn't say a word. I knew she had a lot to drink but she knew what she was doing.

Bill looked at me and grinned. "Sorry old Buddy but I just had to have a piece of her. She's every bit as good as you said. Hell, I might even have her ass before the nights over."

I wasn't sure what to do. Should I fight with Bill over her? She wasn't being forced and knew what she was doing.

"You mother fucker. You knew that I really cared for her but you just had to do it. Someday, someway, I'll get even with you, you son of a bitch. You can have the fucking bitch now. I don't want anything to do with her or you."

As I turned to leave Bill made a loud noise. I knew he must be coming. I looked back and noticed he wasn't even wearing a condom. What a fucking asshole. I left the house and the party just as the clock struck midnight and everyone was yelling, "Happy New Year." It wasn't one for me as I left the premises.

The next morning Sasha tried to call me a half dozen times, each time leaving an ‘I'm sorry' message on my answering machine. Finally I answered it. "I just have one question. Why the fuck did you let him fuck you? I thought we had something special."

"Bill told me that you and he often swapped. He said you would probably be having sex with Judy. I didn't know till after it was over that he had lied to me."

"You're a fucking whore. You just wanted some strange cock and found a way to get it. Well, I want nothing more to do with you and hope the hell you got knocked up. I'm just sorry I wasted my time on you. Hope you and Bill will be happy together."

I just hung up. Later in the day I got a call from Judy. She said she heard what happened and said it was her fault. If she didn't get sick, I would have stayed at the party.

"Judy, Bill has spent his life getting even with me. Both of them knew what they were doing. If he didn't fuck her last night, he would have some other time. I'm just glad I found out the truth about her before it was too late."

Judy and I talked a little more and she said she had broken it off with Bill. She didn't want a boyfriend who would do that to a friend. She also said if I ever wanted to get together with her for a little revenge fuck it was alright with her.

I saw Bill at practice. Thank God we only had one game left. One time he was grinning and approached me. I spoke quickly.

"Get the fuck away from me you son of a bitch. You come near me and I'll kick your sorry ass into next Tuesday. Take your cheating ass friendship and your new girlfriend and stick them both up your sorry ass."

Bill's grin turned very serious. He knew I wasn't kidding. This time he knew he went too far.

After our final game I put most of my time into my studies. I wanted to make sure I graduated with honors to really show Bill up. One evening there was a knock on my door and when I opened it, there stood Judy.

She was holding a six pack of beer. "Hi Stranger, care for some beer and a piece of ass?"

It had been nearly two months since I broke up with Sasha. I took Judy up on her offer. We fucked every which way but loose. She even gave me her ass. After spending the night I made us breakfast. We both knew we wouldn't be a couple but the sex was good.

We got together a few more times as ‘friends with benefits' before I graduated. Judy was a good friend and a good lay. Neither of us had anything to do with Bill or Sasha. In fact Judy told me she heard through the grapevine that Sasha was knocked up. I had to smile.

It was getting near Easter and I was planning on going home for a visit. I had heard that Bill and Sasha were going to get married. Of course I didn't get an invitation but wouldn't have gone anyway. I did wonder about Mrs. Abel, Bill's mother. She had promised me a position with her firm but now since Bill and I were no longer friends, I did wonder where I stood.

I stopped at the fashion store where my mother worked and while I was there, Mrs. Abel came in for a dress she had altered for Bill's wedding. She looked as beautiful as ever.

"Samuel, it's so good to see you. I've been wanting to talk to you. If you have a few minutes we can sit down and have a cup of coffee or tea."

Mom told Mrs. Abel it was nice to see her and said she would see me later at home; she had some customers to attend to. Mrs. Abel and I went next door to a coffee shop and got a beverage and talked. Damn, she looked good. She brought back memories of the wet dreams I often had about her.

"What is it Mrs. Abel? I've been wanting to talk to you also. I guess you know Bill and I aren't friends anymore. I was wondering if that position as an accountant was still waiting for me?"

"Samuel, the position I have for you is in the accounting department. Ethel Guthrie is our head accountant and she has two assistant bookkeepers. She will be retiring later this year and I thought you could start as her assistant, learn all about our books and be her replacement later.

"Ethel is old school and has been there since the beginning of time but she does everything by hand. By that I mean she uses a weekly ledger and posts all the accounts receivable and payable by hand. I was hoping to have you transfer all our records to the computer. Ethel said it was just too much to learn."

"I've learned computer accounting, in fact I'm the top of my class," I replied.

"That doesn't surprise me. You've always been a smart boy," she looked at me, "and now a good looking smart man."

"So, will I still get the position after graduation? It's only two months from now," I asked.

"We have a slight problem Samuel. I can't have you and Bill being at odds with each other. It would make for a bad work environment even though you wouldn't see each other every day. What caused this riff in your friendship anyway?"

"He didn't tell you? Sasha, his soon to be wife was my girlfriend. I caught them in bed together."

"I thought the both of you dated the same girls many times. Why was this any different?"

"I told him I really cared for her and thought she might be the one. We made a pact that if either of us got serious about a girl that the other one would keep his hands off of her. He knew I cared for her, I told him so but he just had to break our pact."

"I'm sorry Samuel but it's over now. Bill and Sasha are getting married and I do want you working for me. I suggest you let bygones be bygones and come to the wedding. You two don't have to be close friends but I do need you to be civil to each other. It's up to you now."

I gave kind of a smile. "Mrs. Able, I have no problem being civil to both of them but I wasn't invited to the wedding. They might not like it if I show up."

"Don't worry about that. I'm paying for the wedding and I'm inviting you and I'll let Bill know that I invited you. Thank you for being the bigger person here. No wonder I've always liked you," she said with a smile and gave me a hug when we stood up.

I was hoping she didn't notice I had a slight hard on. Thinking about her always did it to me and now I was hugging her and smelling her. Damn, I don't care how old she was, I was infatuated with this woman.

****

I entered the church vestibule and there stood Bill in his tux.

"So, I see you came. Mom said she invited you. Why are you here?" asked Bill.

"I'm here because your mom asked me to come. Look, I know we're not friends anymore and I don't intend to be but your mom offered me a job after graduation and I want to accept it. She's worried that our lack of friendship would disrupt the business. I promised her that I would not argue with you and would always be civil to you."

"What about Sasha and you trying to get even with me. I know as well as anyone how you carry a grudge." replied Bill.

"I promise you, with God as my witness, that I will never do anything to hurt your marriage to Sasha. I realize that even though you broke our pact that Sasha made a choice too. She chose you and I will honor that. We'll never be close friends again but that doesn't mean we can't be civil to each other." I put my hand out for Bill to shake and he did so reluctantly.

I walked in the church and sat down toward the back. I didn't know most of the people there but did recognize a few and said hello to them. I know Bill didn't trust me or even believe me when I told him I wouldn't come between him and Sasha. I did mean it but it didn't mean I wouldn't get even with him some other way.

After the wedding I walked through the greeting line. I said hi to Mr. and Mrs. Abel, giving a handshake to Tom and giving his wife Mary a hug and a light kiss on the cheek. I also shook hands with Sasha's parents. I doubt if they even knew who I was.

When I got to Sasha, she looked nervous and her pregnancy was beginning to show but she was still an exotic looking woman and very beautiful. I told her and Bill congratulations and gave her a light kiss on the cheek and shook Bill's hand. He didn't even smile at me. I know he was wondering if I was going to try and jeopardize his marriage. He didn't have to worry because I didn't want anything to do with Sasha and her cheating ways.

At the reception I sat with a few people that I knew. I drank a few beers and danced with a few women. There was a lot of talk about Bill marrying a mixed race woman and the fact that she was also pregnant. I just mentioned we went to the same college. I didn't want it getting back to Bill that I said anything negative about him or Sasha.

I was about to leave when Mrs. Able asked me to dance. I took her out on the dance floor and put my hand on her bare back and held her some distance away from me.

"Come on Samuel, I won't break. You can hold me a little closer," said Mrs. Able as she smiled at me.

I knew it would happen. I got the start of a hard on. I was hoping she wouldn't notice but she put her arms around my neck and held me close. I knew she must have felt it but never said a word. God, this woman turned me on. I figured once I began working for her I would see another side of her and my feelings might diminish.

She did tell me that the next song was one where the bride would be dancing with all the men and the groom with all the women. They had a jar to collect money for dancing with the couple. It was an old tradition.

I did take a turn and danced with Sasha. I couldn't help but notice that Bill was watching us even though he was dancing with other women.

"I'm sorry Sam," said Sasha. "Some day I would like to have a talk with you and explain to you why I did it. I'm so sorry that I hurt you. You deserved better than that."

"No need to explain anything to me. It's over and done. You picked the man you wanted to be with."

Before she could say another word another man stepped up and began dancing with her. I just told her I wished her and Bill the best. After walking away I went home. It did hurt me. I don't know if it was the way she did it or because I did have some feelings for her. All I knew is that it was all over now. I was going on with my life.

Back at school life became quite hectic. We were taking all our finals and getting ready for graduation. I did see Bill and Sasha a couple of time but didn't really talk to them. Judy had told me that she heard Sasha was going to finish the semester but was going to take a year or two off after having the baby. Judy and Sasha were both sophomores.

On graduation day I sat with the honor roll students while Bill was with the general assembly. It felt good that I had beaten him one more time but it wasn't anywhere near the retaliation I wanted for what he did to me. That would come much later.

My parents were so proud of me for graduating high in my class. Mr. and Mrs. Abel were there and they came up and congratulated me; she gave me one of those hugs. I was sure glad my parents were there. It gave me something to think about other than Mrs. Abel.

"We hope to see you a week from Monday so you can start your new position," said Mrs. Abel.

"I want to thank you again for the opportunity." I replied. "I promise I'll do my best for you."

"I'm sure you will Samuel," she said with a smile.

Chapter 2

I arrived at the packaging company on time dressed in my suit and tie. I was to go to human resources for my interview and instructions. According to Mrs. Able it was all a formality but I did need to fill out my paperwork.

I met Mr. Henderson and he gave me my paper work and explained my benefits and wage. I was surprised that my wage was as low as it was. I know I could make a lot more money if I went job hunting.

I need to explain a little about the business. As I mentioned they package things for any customer anywhere. They mostly dealt with major manufacturers who find it cheaper to outsource their packaging needs.

My dad had told me that when Mary Abel's dad owned the business it was a sweatshop, with very low wages and no benefits. After Mary took over she tried to make it a better work environment.

Later after I had seen the payroll, in fact part of my job was doing the payroll, I noticed that the hourly workers made eight dollars an hour to start. After every six months of employment their pay increased fifty cents till they reached the maximum of eleven dollars an hour.

She did add paid holidays and offered to pay half the health insurance through a group plan for those who chose to take it. There were eighty to a hundred hourly workers depending on the season, with the now added new warehouse which would employ up to another twenty five full time people. She really was trying to do right. It made me respect her even more.

The salary personnel were on fixed wages. The four salesmen were at three-thousand a month, except her husband, Tom who received five-thousand a month because he was the vice president, but it was just a title. He did sit in on the meetings but all major decisions were made by Mary.

After talking to Mr. Henderson he told me Mrs. Abel had asked to talk to me. I headed up to her office. The receptionist asked me to sit down. She said Mrs. Abel would see me in a few minutes.

"Hi Samuel, please come in. Jennifer please hold my calls," said Mary.

We went into her office and she asked me to close the door and sit down.

"You look very nice Samuel, welcome to Abel's Packaging. I know you are a bit disappointed with your starting wage. I tried to give you the best I could. As you will find out, Ethel receives four-thousand a month. By the way, please don't discuss our financial situation including wages with anyone. That's why you had to sign the secrecy statement.

"After Ethel retires later this year I was hoping to increase your salary to five-thousand a month. Hopefully you might be able to find some ways in which we might increase our bottom line. I really do want you to stay but if you want to go elsewhere, I understand."

"Mrs. Abel..." she stopped me.

"Samuel, please call me Mary except in major meetings. I feel so old when you call me Mrs. Abel."

I smiled. "Mrs. I mean Mary, you look anything but old. I'm sorry, that might be a little out of place."

"You can compliment me Samuel. I rather like it," she was smiling.

"About the wages. Yes I expected more but I've also always wanted to work for you. You're one of my most favorite people. Let's take it a day at a time and I'll do my best to find some loopholes and maybe it will all work out fine. I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to show what I can do."

I really was glad she gave me a chance and the freedom to do my work. This was a good starting ground and who knew what the future held. Right now I was happy, and satisfied with my position. Besides in a few months I would become the head accountant with a substantial increase in pay.

She held her hand out for me to shake. "No hugging at the office," she laughed. I shook her hand and headed out to my office and to meet Ethel.

Ethel is a wonderful woman. She was old enough to be my grandmother and treated me like a grandson. She was great to work with and explained to me how she just couldn't handle the computers. I smiled at her and said we would work on all the latest information together.

I could see where she would be missed. She was just a nice elderly person who I feel was totally trustworthy and gave her best. She said she would be happy to finally retire and see her kids and grandkids more often.

Over the next few months she showed me all the pertinent information I needed to start loading past and present accounts into the computer. I worked with Ethel each day for about four hours. After that I went to my office and kept uploading the necessary data, sometimes spending twelve hours a day on the job.

I found myself a nice apartment not far from the business. It had a large bedroom, living room and kitchen. I loved the outdoor pool and spa that I found myself using quite often. I also met a few lady friends that were fun spending time with.

I didn't date the women at work. I just figured it would be hard working with them and there weren't any that I was serious about. I will admit to having sex with a few of the ladies in the surrounding apartments. I just wasn't serious about any of them.

I guess Sasha cheating on me somewhat led me to distrust women. Then there was the fact that I was infatuated with an older married woman, my boss Mary. I knew it would never go anywhere but a guy could dream.

I really enjoyed my job and most people treated me well. Since I worked in the main office they must have felt I was important. I forgot to mention that Bill started in the new warehouse as an Assistant Manager. He was peeved when he found out he would receive eleven dollars an hour but his mother told him he had to learn all the jobs before she could pay him more.

Of course I know she made sure he was taken care of on a personal level. He lived in a nice house and his mother would surely make sure he had sufficient funds to take care of his wife and child. He just wasn't getting the money he expected he would be getting.

I saw him from time to time but rarely spoke to him but I was civil like I promised. Ethel had told me she had always thought he was a spoiled brat ever since he was born. She also said it was partially her fault that he was that way.

Sasha had her baby and of course it was bi-racial but a very beautiful baby. Tom wasn't really happy about his son Bill marrying a woman of mixed race but Mary told him he better not cause trouble. It was Bill's choice not his.

I ate lunch in the cafeteria at work quite often and Mary often confided in me. After seeing Bill's baby she told me she had always thought of having another baby, she would have liked a daughter, but she was probably too old now and besides she and Tom didn't have the best relationship.

Later when I talked with Ethel, (she was my gossip center), I found out that Tom and Mary were married in name only. They had very little to do with each other except for show and at business functions.

Ethel told me they pretty much went their separate ways years ago when she took ownership of the business. He thought he would get fifty percent of the business but Mary's dad said he was too much of a scoundrel. He was a good salesman but also screwed every woman that let him.

"Why does she stay with him?" I asked Ethel.

"She doesn't have any other love interests except for the business. He knows if he leaves her, he could end up with nothing. The business is incorporated and they also had a pre-nuptial agreement", said Ethel.

"She's such a good looking woman and has such a good personality. Don't say anything but I've had a crush on her ever since I was a little boy. Can't understand why any man wouldn't like to hook up to her wagon," I laughed when I told Ethel. It's funny but I've never told anyone about my feelings for Mary. Ethel really was like a grandmother.

"Believe me, I've seen a lot of men try and get shot down, but if she has had affairs, she sure keeps it a secret," replied Ethel. "I never really liked her husband Tom. To me he was always flirting with all the women and married Mary hoping to someday own this business. I was happy when she saw him for the rat he is."

"What about her son Bill. Do you like him?" I asked.

Ethel laughed. "I know all about you and Bill trying to outdo each other your whole life. I think you came out ahead here. You got a good education and he got a woman that married him for the money she thought he had."

"I don't understand," I said to Ethel.

"Sasha thought that Bill had money. He always bragged to everyone how one day he would own this business. If he had tried studying harder instead of trying to impress the girls, he could have helped himself a lot more. If I know Mary, whoever she turns this business over to will have to be really smart and have a lot of common sense. This business is her baby and she won‘t give it to Tom, Bill or anyone else who doesn‘t love it as much as she does."

Wow, I found out from Ethel the real reason Sasha picked Bill. I felt much better now. I didn't lose Sasha to a better man but to one whose family had money. I would never want a woman like that anyway,

I think Ethel could see I seemed happier. With a couple of months to go I would miss this elderly woman. She really was like a grandmother to me. I adored her.

****

After the birth of the baby Mary seemed relieved that it was all over. She confided in me that Bill had done a DNA test to make sure the child was his. What a way to start off a marriage.

We threw a going away party for Ethel and everyone said how much they would miss her. I had grown to really like her and she said if I ever had a problem to feel free to call her.

We talked privately and she told me more about the business and Tom and Mary. I had to laugh when Ethel said, "If I was forty years younger I'd have hooked up with you."

"If you were forty years younger I would have let you." I gave her a hug and kissed her on the cheek. Mary had stood back and I guessed she was watching me with Ethel.

I heard Ethel later tell Mary, "Don't lose that one, he's a good one."

It made me feel good when I saw Mary smile at Ethel, and said, "I don't plan on losing him." That really made me feel good.

The following Monday I began working on the programs I set up. I found some ideas to share with Mary. I showed her a few ways of saving money and she was really happy with them. She asked me to start attending the board meeting every Monday.

During the week I shared ideas with her and on Mondays she had me explain them to the board. Most of them were accepted. Tom was one of the few to try and knock some of my ideas but he was quickly knocked down when other board members took to my defense.

I'll just explain one of my ideas to give you an example of some of my hopeful changes. I thought instead of paying the salesmen three-thousand a month that it would be better to guarantee them fifteen hundred a month and give them a percentage of their sales. That way the higher producers who brought in more business would be rewarded for it.

After the idea was brought up to the salesmen, one of them quit. When his selling history was pulled, it was proven that he very rarely earned his wage. His territory was divided among the other salesman. In the next few months the salesmen were all producing more business. They realized that their income was only limited to the time they put in.

Tom kept his territory and also kept his five thousand a month wage. They credited it to him being a vice president. He also received a thousand a month expense account. The other salesmen received five hundred a month unless they turned in a special reason for more money. The final decision was always Mary's.

I had been there for nearly five months when Christmas rolled around. I went through the books and explained to Mary that the business could afford a small bonus or gift for each employee. This had never been done before.

After showing the board where the money would come from, all but Tom agreed that it was a good idea. Tom thought it was setting a bad precedent. Mary said she could see where the employees would be more thankful than trouble. She gave each employee a check for a hundred dollars and also a turkey.

It was amazing how well the employees responded. When they heard it through the grapevine, production seemed to increase. Mary couldn't be happier and that was good enough for me.

We closed two days for Christmas. Mary gave me a hug and wished me a Merry Christmas. "I thought hugs weren't allowed at work," I said.

"For you it's an exception," said Mary. "We're so lucky to have you here."

I got my usual hard-on when she hugged me. I know she must have felt it but I didn't care. I was still infatuated with her.

I gave my mom the turkey and went to her home for Christmas. I had a nice time being with my family but I also missed seeing Mary's smiling face in the morning or having lunch with her, even if it was talking business.

As far as Bill and Sasha were concerned I stayed away from them as much as possible. The only time I talked about them is when Mary brought them up, or mentioned the baby. After all, it was her grandson.

New Years was rolling around and most of the people from our office were going to the party. I wasn't planning on going because it was just a year ago that I caught Bill and Sasha together. Some bad memories there.

Mary almost begged me to come. I told her I didn't have a date and she said she would dance with me. She was smiling when she said it. Finally I was convinced to go. It was being held at the Holiday Inn and some people were getting rooms for the night. I decided I would just drive home.

It was a good party, plenty to eat and drink. I know I drank a little more than I should have since I was driving and eventually switched to soda. I danced with all the girls from the office and of course Mary. I saw her dance with Tom a couple of times and then he started his usual flirting and was dancing with every woman in the place.

It didn't take a scientist to see he was feeling up every woman who let him. Mary acted like she didn't notice but I was sure she did. I must have danced with her four times to slow songs. Pulling her close and feeling her bare back in her low cut dress gave me the usual stimuli. I pulled her closer and she didn't seem to mind. Once I got my senses, I backed off a little hoping no one else saw us.

I was sitting at a table when Sasha asked me to dance. I must say she really did look good. She had on a tight fitting dress that showed her assets.

"So, Sam, are you going to dance with me?" she asked.

"If it's alright with Bill. I don't want to mess with his woman," I replied.

We got up to dance and it was a very slow number. I tried to hold her away but she pulled me close. She had a bit too much to drink and started talking to me. I just listened.

"Sam, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I thought that Bill would be managing this business and he kept telling me you would be working for him. I'm so sorry. I didn't think when we were having sex that he wasn't wearing a condom. Once I found out I was pregnant I didn't know what to do.

"I didn't know if the baby was yours or Bill's. I tried to talk to you over and over again but you wouldn't take my calls so I told Bill it was his baby. I don't really love Bill but I don't know what to do now. You are so much better in bed."

"Stop right there. You chose to be with him. You made your bed and now you have to sleep in it. I wouldn't even fuck you now for revenge. You're not worth it." Right then Bill came up and asked what we were talking about.

"Just about you and your child. Well, here's your wife. I hope you have a happy life together."

It was midnight and everyone was kissing. I kissed every woman in sight except Sasha and Mary. I wasn't sure if I could handle kissing her.

I went to get my coat when Tom came up to me. "Are you leaving so soon, Sam?"

"Yes, I'm kind of partied out. I'll see you Monday. Happy New Year Tom"

"Sam, can you do me a big favor?"

"Sure if I can," I replied.

"Mary has had too much to drink and isn't feeling good. She wants to go home. Can you take her for me?"

I couldn't believe this. I was leaving to avoid being with Mary and now her husband wants me to take her home.

"Didn't you get a room here for the night?" I asked.

"Yes, but Mary wants to go sleep in her own bed. It doesn't do any good to argue with her. I would ask Bill but he has drunk way too much to be behind the wheel. Please, I really don't want to leave yet. To me the party is just beginning."

I agreed and went and got Mary's coat. She said goodnight to Tom and said she would see him in the morning. She gave him a peck on the cheek as we walked out to my car. She didn't seem all that drunk to me.

"Thank you for taking me home Samuel. I really don't care to sleep in motels with Tom. Even though we get separate beds he snores a lot. Besides he has his eyes on a couple of bimbos."

"Doesn't it bother you knowing he's with other women?" I asked.

"It did years ago but I lost any love I had for him. If he wasn't such a good salesman, I'd fire him," she said with a smile.

When we got to her house I opened her door and helped her out. I put my arm around her and walked her to the door. She had her key out and handed it to me. I opened the door for her and she invited me in. This was new territory for me so I took it one minute at a time.

After helping her off with her coat she asked me to walk her to her bedroom upstairs. I was wondering if she was that drunk or I just couldn't read her that well. I remember when I was much younger and I would come over to see Bill. Every once in awhile I got a look into her bedroom - always neat and clean with the smell of her perfume in the air. It was as though this room was off limits and here I was standing with her in this very room.

She asked me to unzip her dress. I did so with shaky hands. I've wanted to see this woman naked my whole life and I wondered if it was going to come true or would she ask me to leave.

She let her dress fall and the bra that was made into the dress fell at her feet. Sometime during the evening she must have slid off her pantyhose because all she had on was a dainty pair of panties.

"Samuel, I don't think you gave me a New Year's kiss."

I leaned over, put my arms around her and pulled her close. I kissed her with all the passion I could muster. I wasn't going to let this moment go. After the kiss she looked into my eyes, turned around and began to pull her bedspread, blanket and sheet down.

I took a big chance and began to undress. I was down to my briefs when she turned, looked down at my hard-on and said, "I want that in me. Do you want to have sex with me?"

She climbed up on the bed and I followed her. I wanted her so bad for so long that I hoped I could hold off. I started by kissing her over and over again. "God, I want you so bad," I said over and over.

I work my way down to her breasts and fondled one as I kissed the other. I couldn't believe that a woman in her early forties could have such nice breasts. I sucked and sucked on her nipples. I worked my way down to her belly. While I tried to kiss and lick every inch of her belly I slid my hand into her panties.

She was wet and I could smell her sex. I reached down and pulled off her panties and buried my face in her muff. I know some guys prefer a woman to be shaved. Now I'm not big on a forest but I do love a nice trimmed muff. Her hair felt so wet, yet silky as I rubbed my face all over it.

"God, Samuel, it feels so good. I don't know if I've ever felt this aroused."

Her pussy was wet as I buried my face in it. She spread her lips with her fingers as I used my tongue as much as possible. I felt her have an orgasm as I was eating her out.

"Oh God, oh shit, oh Christ, it feels so good." I heard her say. "Fuck me Samuel, fuck me right now before I lose this sensation."

I pulled off my briefs and rubbed my hard cock up and down her slit. She was making all kinds of noises. I felt so good that I could make her feel this way. I put the head of my cock at the entrance of her pussy and started to push it in.

"Careful Samuel, it's been awhile since I've been with anyone. You feel so good."

She was so wet, there wasn't a problem slowly pushing my cock all the way in her. It felt so hot, I knew I wouldn't be able to hold back for long. I started pumping harder and faster. I felt her pushing up with every thrust I gave her. She screamed out, "Fuck me! Fuck me! Oh so good!"

After that I let loose with the biggest come of my young life. I actually hated myself for it. I didn't want to come so soon, I wanted it to last. I held my cock deep in her and I felt squirt after squirt of my cum going in her. God, it felt so good.

Her pussy was thumping. I felt it spasm over and over again, as it squeezed my cock. I couldn't believe I was so worn out after only coming the one time. When her pussy stopped spasming, I pulled out of her and rolled off of her to the side.

We were both wet with perspiration. She looked over at me and said, "You were wonderful. Happy New Year Samuel." She reached down and grabbed the sheet and blanket, covered us and rolled over on her side.

I was so exhausted myself that I cuddled up to her back with my cock against her ass and fell asleep. Maybe we did drink more than we should have.

I woke up a couple of hours later and wasn't sure what to think or what to do. I now wondered if it all happened because of the amount Mary had drunk. I was confused. I had to wonder how things would be at work on Monday.

I quietly got out of the bed and slipped my clothes on. I saw Mary lying there, she was so beautiful. I just hope I didn't ruin our relationship. I saw that she was covered, kissed her on the forehead and turned off the lights and went home.

I was still confused but very tired. I just stripped and went to bed. I woke up at eleven o'clock still very confused. I climbed in the shower and spent a good twenty minutes in it. As I was drying off I thought I heard my doorbell. I slipped on my robe and went and answered the door.

It was Mary, I couldn't believe it. She has never been to my apartment. I quickly opened my door and invited her in. "Samuel, we need to talk."

"Mary, I'm sorry. I should never have taken advantage of you."

"You didn't take advantage of me. When I woke up this morning and you weren't there I got worried. Samuel, I asked for you to take me home on purpose. I wanted to be with you. I do have something important I have to ask you."

"What is it Mary?" She did look a bit worried.

"Did you sleep with me as a retaliation to get even with Bill? You know, have sex with his mother to get even with him."

"God no! I never even thought of such a thing. There is no way in Hell that I would ever do anything to hurt you. Mary, you have always been my fantasy woman. I think even you know that."

She went on to say, "I have a proposition for you. Have you ever heard of ‘Friends with Benefits'? I want you to be my ‘Friend with Benefits.' I didn't realize what I was missing when it came to sex until I was with you last night."

"Of course I would love to be your ‘Friend with Benefits'. I'll be there for you anytime, anywhere," I replied.

"I don't want to impose on you and your love or sex life. It's just that..."

"You wouldn't be imposing on me. As I said, anytime, anywhere." I was getting a hard-on under my robe. I was sure Mary could see it. "When would you like to get together again?"

"If that's what I think it is, what about right now? You do understand that everything at work must stay the same? And please, keep it just between us."

I leaned forward and gave Mary a long passionate kiss. We walked to my bedroom and I dropped my robe being naked under it. I climbed on the bed and lay in the middle of it. Mary quickly removed her clothing except for her bra. After removing her panties she straddled my cock and let it rub back and forth against her slit.

She took my cock in her hand and rubbed it till I could feel her fluids on my cockhead. She slowly lowered herself and let the head of my cock enter her. I got much harder which made her smile as she took more of my cock into her. After letting go of my cock she began to slowly rock with my cock in her. It went deeper and deeper into her pussy.

Before long she had it all in her pussy and began to rock pelvis against pelvis. The sensation was incredible. Mary was making noises and kept telling me how good it felt.

I reached up and unclasped her bra and threw it on the floor. "My breasts aren't all that big," said Mary.

"They may not be big but they are beautiful," I replied. I took her nipples in my fingers and rubbed them till they became hard. I then squeezed and rubbed her breasts.

"Oh fuck! I'm coming," said Mary. "Oh, shit, shit, shit, feels so, so good."

Mary started to move up and down on my cock and I could see her juices coating my cock. I was doing everything I could not to come right away but because Mary was so hot I couldn't help myself.

I took her by the hips and push my cock in as deep as possible and let go. I could feel my cock spurting into Mary.

"I feel it, I feel you coming. So hot, so good," said Mary.

After I was done shooting my load into her she lay forward on my chest. I held her until her pussy stopped having spasms.

"I've never cared for any woman like I do you Mary. I just want you to know that." I wanted to tell her I loved her but I didn't want to push our relationship. After all she was still married even if it was platonic on her part.

Chapter 3

After that day Mary would stop by at least twice a week and we would make love. She said we were friends with benefits but I could feel it was much more.

People at work told Mary she seemed much happier. She would just tell them she felt happy and life and business was good.

I didn't have any sexual relations with any other women. I had chances and had even been asked but I wasn't interested. I really only cared for one woman and that was Mary.

After a little over two months of being ‘Friends with Benefits,' Mary came to my house after work. She looked concerned. "What is it Mary? Is something wrong?"

"I went to the doctor today. I took a home pregnancy test and it came out positive. The doctor told me the test was correct. I am pregnant.

I didn't know what to say, I was speechless. What was I going to say? Who's is it? I knew that answer. Are you sure? She just came from the doctors. I wanted to say the right thing. Finally I came out with, " Mary, what do we do next? No matter what, I'm here for you."

Mary had tears in her eyes as she hugged me and put her head on my chest.

"I'll get us a beverage and we can talk about it." Mary sat on the couch until I returned with the beverages."

Mary spoke first. " I was so stupid! I should have kept taking birth control after I met you. I was sure I was out of my cycles. Now I'm going to have a baby."

"We're going to have a baby, Mary. I'm with you whatever you want to do."

"I thought about having an abortion but I could never do that. I wanted another child and I guess I got my wish. Samuel, you don't have to worry about it. I'm a grown woman and I'm financially able to care for my child."

"No, this is my baby too and I won't abandon it," I replied.

Mary just gave me a sweet smile. "I'll be telling Tom tonight. He's a louse but he needs to know why I'm divorcing him. I won't be at the office for the next couple of days. I will be seeing my attorney and getting the papers drawn up."

"If you're divorcing Tom, then marry me. I love you Mary, I always have. We can live together and raise our child."

"You're so sweet. No wonder I care for you so much. I'm much too old for you and you should find some young woman to date and care for."

"I don't want some young girl or older woman for that fact. I want you Mary - you're the woman I want."

Mary stood up and hugged me again. "I'll get back to you in a couple of days. Please don't say anything to anyone till I talk to you again." She kissed me and headed out the door.

At work the next couple of days it was hard delving into my work. Mary dealt with out of town lawyers when it came to her business and personal affairs. She didn't want her personal information spread around locally.

She called me and asked me to meet her at a restaurant. When I got there she was already there having a glass of wine and waiting for me. She smiled when she saw me. I sat down and she told me everything that went on and what her plans were while we ate a light dinner.

Mary spoke, "First of all I told Tom I was pregnant and to say he was shocked would be an understatement. We agreed to get a dissolution of marriage. He asked me who the father was but I wouldn't tell him."

"Mary, I'm not afraid to say it's my child." Mary smiled at me when I said that.

"He figured it out. He wondered why I had been so happy the last few months and I guess he could see whenever we were in the room together I always seemed happier. He's not happy about you and asked if I was going to fire you.

"I laughed and told him that if I fired you for having sex with me then I would have to fire most of our female work force for being with him."

"So what happens next Mary? Is Tom staying? Am I staying?"

"Samuel, Samuel, you can stay for as long as you like. As for Tom he is moving out of the house within the month but will still be in the business. It shouldn't change much except Tom and I won't have to put on a front.

"According to the attorney we have to divide our assets fifty-fifty on everything we accumulated since our marriage. That is everything but the business. It was given to me by my father and still was in the Pre-Nuptial agreement."

"Are you going to sell your home or take out a loan to pay Tom off?" I knew they were rather wealthy but splitting their wealth in half would take a pretty good chunk of money.

"No, I'm keeping everything. I made an agreement with Tom that in lieu of splitting all our assets that I would give him a quarter share of the business. It's what he really wanted since we've be married. According to my attorneys, this value would be similar and I could have full control of the business owning seventy-five percent."

"How will it be at work? Tom and I haven't really seen eye to eye lately,"

"Tom told me he suspected that I was seeing you and that's why he disagreed with you so often. After we put it all on the table he thought you were an excellent accountant and knows you have made some good changes. Tom only thinks about two things, pussy and money." Even that statement made Mary smile.

"So what about my proposition? Will you marry me?" I asked.

"Samuel, I can't marry you in good conscience. I know you feel somewhat responsible and want to do the right thing. I do believe it's very honorable of you but I can't do that to you."

"Do what to me? Can't you get it through your thick head that I'm in love with you?" This was the closest we ever got to an argument.

"Look, Mary, I know Tom married you hoping to get your dad's business. Bill married Sasha because he wanted to do the right thing, even though they don't love each other. I'm not Tom or Bill or any other guy. I want to marry you because I love you and want to spend my life with you."

Mary looked at me with wonder in her eyes. She had made her decision and now she was wondering about me. "I don't know what to say," replied Mary.

"I'll make it real easy for you Mary. There are only two reasons I won't marry you. First, if you've been lying to me and the baby isn't mine."

Mary got almost mad at me. "Samuel, we both know better. You're the only man I've been with in over two years." She looked at me realizing we never have talked about her sex life.

"Tom and I had too much to drink one year and he said we belonged together and wanted to try and get on good terms. It only lasted till he got what he wanted. I never let him touch me again after that. No one has till we were together."

"The only other reason I won't marry you is if you can look me in the face and tell me you don't love me. I'll still be part of my child's life but I won't marry you. I will only marry a woman who loves me."

Mary had tears in her eyes. "I can't tell you that. I love you with all my heart but I don't want you rushing into a marriage you might later regret."

"I know you told me not to tell anyone about the baby but I told my mother. You said you were going to keep the baby and of course it's my mother's grandchild. Probably the only one she will ever have."

"Oh my God, what does she think of me?" asked Mary.

"She wasn't the happiest person to begin with but after she settled down I told her I loved you and that you were carrying her grandchild. After that she mellowed down some. She did tell me how stupid I was not to use protection but believe it or not, my mom said she understands."

"Samuel, I'm not going to rush in and get married. It will be at least two months before my divorce is final anyway. I have a proposition for you."

"Oh, so now you want to proposition me," I said with a smile. It made Mary smile and did break the tension some.

"Samuel, I still don't want you to do something now and regret it later, even years from now. As I said, it will be a couple of months before my divorce with Tom is finalized. I'll be carrying our baby for another six and a half months. I want you to take this time and give it a lot of thought."

"I have thought about it and I choose you," I replied.

"Please, I'm serious. You can date other women and I promise not to say anything about it. I just want you to be sure. When I have our child, we'll talk about marriage again. I just feel you need time to work things out."

"Ok, I agree not to bring up marriage until after the baby is born. I still want to be in my child's life no matter what you decide. Now, I have a question for you," I said to Mary.

"What? I promise to be honest with you," replied Mary.

"During this period of time are we still going to be friends with benefits?" I asked.

"Yes, we can do that as long as you don't keep telling me how much you want to marry me."

For the next couple of months Mary and I had dinner together a couple of times a week. She was beginning to show but we still made love, or in Mary's words, still had sex. It was great.

Oh, I forgot to mention something important here. When Bill found out that his mother was pregnant by me, he told her I just did it to get even with him and Sasha. She did her best to explain to him that it wasn't true. I offered to talk to him but Mary said that wouldn't be the best idea.

Bill told Mary that he could no longer work for her and went and found another job with a major auto company and was their assistant warehouse manager. He even made more money than he made at our business.

What he didn't know was that Mary called the human resource manager at the other corporation and pulled a few strings to see Bill got the job. The truth is Bill was a smart man when he applied himself and he did have a business degree.

Back to Mary and I. She stopped me at the office one day and asked me out to dinner. It seemed strange because she usually didn't call me in her office for personal business. She told me that her divorce was final that day and she really didn't want to be alone that night. Also, there was something she wanted to tell me.

She found out we were going to have a baby girl. Mary was so happy. Somewhere along the line my mom and Mary had a talk. Mom was so happy to know she was going to have a granddaughter.

That night after going out to dinner we went back to Mary's house. I rubbed her back and she turned over and I rubbed her extended belly. When I finished with the massage I laid on the bed and Mary rode me till we both climaxed.

We lay in bed and talked and Mary told me about talking with my mom. Between them Mary said that my mom was going to quit her job at the clothing store and was going to baby sit our daughter. They both agreed that there wasn't anyone more capable to watch our child than my mom.

It made me happy because it was one step closer to Mary marrying me, which I wasn't supposed to mention. I did see Mary two or three times a week and it always ended up with us having sex. Our favorite positions were her on top and doggie style. It worked the best for her condition.

She knew that other women lived in my apartment area but she never asked if I dated them. I didn't and I really didn't care too. I really and truly loved Mary. If I wasn't at her place I would be by mom and dads'.

Time seemed to go by quickly. The last month of her pregnancy I picked her up for work and took her home after work. I never spent the night but we did cuddle on the couch. We had sex a couple of times but I knew it was hard on Mary so I told her it could wait till after she had our baby.

I still took the time to massage her back which she said really ached. I also got her off a few times with my fingers. She did give me hand jobs and even oral sex a couple of times. I knew she had to wonder if I was dating or not but would never bring it up.

One day at work I got a call from Mary. I quickly helped her into the car and took her to the hospital. It was time for her delivery. The doctor told her it would still be a couple of hours. I called mom and she and dad came down to the hospital.

I was going to be in the birthing room and my mom asked if she could come in also. Mary was happy to have us both there. When Mary started to have heavy contractions it was hard to watch her in pain. I held her hand and she squeezed it so hard it hurt. Finally the time arrived and the baby came out. It wasn't what I expected. It was covered in blood and goop. I looked over at my mother and she smiled. "They will clean the baby up Sam, don't worry," said my mom.

I cut the cord and went and sat down while the nurses did their thing with the baby and cleaning up Mary. It might have been a miracle but it really upset my stomach. I just hoped I could hold it together and not barf. Mom looked and me and handed me a mint, it helped.

A few minutes later the nurse brought my daughter to me, all cleaned up and wrapped in a pink blanket. I cried, I couldn't help it. This tiny little person was my daughter. I stood up and carefully carried our baby over and put her in Mary's arms. She was now sitting up.

She took her in her arms and said, "Hi Samantha Marie, welcome into the world." Mary had tears in her eyes.

Mary called mom over and asked her if she would like to hold her granddaughter. With teary eyes my mom held her grandbaby for the first time. After a few minutes we were asked to leave the room so they could get everything back in order.

We went out and told my dad he was a grandpa. He was a big guy who never showed a lot of emotion but I could see the happiness in his eyes.

Eventually we went back in and said goodnight to Mary. I told her I would see her in the morning. I gave her a sweet kiss and a smile. I knew she was worn out, even exhausted.

We went by the window and took another look at my daughter and then left the hospital, very happy people.

The following day I went back into the room and Mary handed me a paper. "What is this?" I asked.

"It's the papers for the birth certificate. I'm giving you one last chance. After you sign your name, you're Samantha's daddy."

I looked over the papers. "As you know I named her Samantha after you, and Marie after me."

I looked further and she gave the baby my last name, Jacobs. I leaned over, gave Mary a kiss and then signed the document. I was now Samantha Marie Jacobs' legal daddy.

We gathered up all our stuff and headed for Mary's home. During the last few months, Mary and I had been shopping, buying baby clothes and furniture. She would eventually have her own room but right now she had a cradle right beside Mary's bed along with a diaper changing table.

Mary stayed home for two weeks with the baby. I stopped by every evening to see my daughter. Mary still ran her business by having conference calls.

One day Mary called me at work and asked me if I wanted to bring home some dinner.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mary but I have a date tonight." I heard silence for the next few seconds. I guess Mary thought about what she had told me about dating other women.

"Oh, ok then, I'll just... umm, just make...umm."

"Mary, it's my mom's birthday and dad and I are taking her out for dinner. Would you and Samantha like to join us?" I asked.

I could hear a big sigh of relief through the phone. "I'd love to come as long as your mom doesn't mind."

"It was mom's idea to invite you. She said you've probably been cooped up in the house for the last couple of weeks. I'll be by at six to pick up you and Samantha."

Mary looked great and had Samantha all dressed up. So tiny yet so cute. I couldn't help but smile as I carried my daughter out and put her in the baby car seat.

When we arrived at the restaurant mom had to see Samantha and hold her. The waitresses all had to look at my beautiful baby. I was a proud father,

We ate dinner and they brought a cake out for mom. Everyone sang ‘Happy Birthday'. We brought mom a gift and she received one from dad. Afterwards, she handed me a small package. Mary looked at mom and then at me.

I opened up the small package which contained my grandmother's engagement and wedding ring. I got on one knee and proposed to Mary.

"I did like you said and after deliberating all this time I still want you to become my wife. This was my grandmother's ring and was supposed to be passed down through the family. Since I don't have any sisters, mom said I should offer it to you. Mary, will you marry me? You, Samantha and I can become a real family."

My parents stared at Mary waiting for her answer. With tears rolling down her cheeks she said, "Yes, Samuel, I'll marry you."

Everyone in the restaurant began cheering and clapping as I kissed Mary and slipped the ring on her finger.

We decided to get away for a weekend and mom and dad said they would watch the baby. Mary didn't want to be away from her daughter any longer. Mary did see the doctor and we made sure she got a complete bill of health before taking our short honeymoon. We expected to spend much of our time making up for lost sex.

****

I have a footnote to add here. Bill and Sasha got divorced. Bill is dating another woman and also found out his mother helped get him his position and does come and see his mother once in a while. I usually try not to be home.

He does visit his child every other weekend. Usually when his dad is gone. You see, Sasha moved in with Tom. I guess she's still following the money.

Every once in awhile Sasha does bring her son to see Mary. After all it's Mary's grandson. One day when she was at the house I had just picked up Samantha and was going to change her diaper. I heard Sasha and Mary talking.

"Wow, he really was a great catch. Good looking, good father, faithful and a good job. I sure missed the boat there," I heard Sasha say.

"He's also a very wonderful husband and the best lover I have ever been with," replied Mary.

As I changed Samantha‘s diaper, I just smiled.

As my friend ‘The Wanderer' says, "Life Goes On".
