The Patio With a View

Just Plain Bob

I was sitting on the patio drinking a beer and looking at the snow capped mountains in the distance. It was my favorite place to sit and I was wondering how I was going to be able to keep the house in the divorce that was coming. It was going to take some creative thinking on my part, but fortunately I had time to work on the problem.

Kathy didn't yet know that she was going to be divorced. When I did drop the hammer on her I wanted to have all my ducks in a row. Fortunately, at least for me, we didn't live in one of those states that had those stupid no fault divorces. I could file using adultery as grounds and come out of the divorce on the plus side as far as division of assets was concerned.

I knew for a fact that the local courts did not look kindly at adultery and given what I'd seen in the few divorces for adultery that took place with people I knew I could expect, as the injured party, to come out of the divorce with roughly two-thirds of the assets. My problem where the house was concerned was that I couldn't afford it on my salary alone. It took my pay and Kathy's to maintain the standard of living that I enjoyed.

I could do it alone, but I would have to sacrifice to do it. I'd have to give up bowling in two leagues; I'd have to give up my membership at Rolling Hills Country Club and probably - no, not probably, but almost certainly - give up my Cadillac Escalade and get an old beater of a used car.

There was another problem that had to be faced also. To sue for adultery I had to have proof and even though I knew for a fact that Kathy was cheating on me my going to court and saying that I knew just wasn't going to cut it. Without proof it would simply be my word against Kathy's and I had no doubt, absolutely none, that she would deny it. She would fight me tooth and nail on it.

She might not fight me if I went for Irreconcilable Differences, but on Adultery she would fight me to the death. She would have to fight and win if she wanted to stay on the good side of her family. Her father and both brothers were ordained ministers and her grandfather was a deacon. Her mother and her sister were also very actively involved in church affairs. The lot of them were already down on her a bit because she married me. It seems that good church going people don't care much for agnostics. Her family would be glad to see the last of me, but they would be more likely to burn Kathy at the stake than welcome her back into the family if my going was because of Kathy's infidelity.

I couldn't use a private detective because all he would be able to do was chronicle Katy's comings and goings and that wouldn't get us anywhere because we would not have audio and video proof of her adultery. All we would have is pictures of her going into a building where she had a legitimate reason to be going. My best bet would be to get her best friend Audrey on my side. After all, it was Audrey who told me that Kathy was cheating on me and asked for my help in stopping it.

I don't really think that she thought things through before coming to me to ask me for my help. I don't think she even considered that I might go for a divorce. I honestly believe that Audrey thought I might do something like tell Kathy to stop doing what she was doing or I'd spank her or something like that. Maybe, "Stop it Kathy! Stop it right now or I won't take you out dancing on Saturday."

I hate to say it because Audrey really is a sweetie, but I don't think she is too bright. Why did Audrey tell me that her best friend was cheating on me? I guess that's the story.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

I work four tens so unless there is a crisis requiring overtime I only work a four day week and I am off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was a Friday and I was in the garage sharpening the lawnmower blade when a crying Audrey walked into the garage and asked me if she cold talk to me. I told her she could and she asked if she could have a glass of water and so we went into the kitchen and she sat down at the kitchen table while I got her the water.

I gave her the glass and then sat down across from her. Audrey and Kathy had gone to school together and after graduating they both went to work for the same company. They are extremely close and quite often stopped after work for a drink or go shopping. I don't think that there was ever a three week period that went by without us having dinner or a barbecue with Audrey and her husband Carl.

Audrey gulped the water and then told me that I probably wasn't going to like hearing what she had to say, but she was desperate and needed my help. She took a deep breath and then told me the tale.

One of the nights they stopped for drinks Audrey, after having a few more than were good for her, told Kathy how big Carl's cock was and that she couldn't take it all because it hurt too much. Kathy asked how big it was and Audrey told her that it was exactly eleven inches long when hard. Kathy had laughed and told Audrey that she was exaggerating; that no cock could be that big. After that when ever they stopped for drinks the subject of Carl's cock size always seemed to come up and Kathy always said that Audrey was making it up.

One day when I was working overtime Kathy and Audrey stopped for drinks and after a few they decided to go shopping. Audrey and Carl had just put in a swimming pool so the girls decided that they needed new swim suits. They bought a couple of bikinis each and then went to Audrey's place where they had a couple of more drinks and then modeled the new suits for each other. They were doing it in the living room and not worrying about it because Carl was supposed to have gone to a night ball game with some of the guys he worked with.

The girls were more than a little sloshed and were laughing and giggling and so they didn't hear Carl come in. Kathy had just taken off her suit and was standing there naked when she became aware that Carl was standing there watching. She quickly tried to cover her tits and pussy with her hands and then she ran into the bathroom. A minute later Kathy came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her and started picking up her clothes. Audrey was giggling and she walked over to Carl, unzipped him and pulled out his cock. It wasn't even hard yet and it was huge. Audrey laughed and said "Now tell me I'm exaggerating." Audrey said that Kathy stood there like a stone statue as she stared at Carl's cock which by then was expanding. Kathy finally shook off whatever it was that was holding her still and she started heading for the bathroom to get dressed. Audrey grabbed her arm and said:

"Oh no you don't. You've called me a fibber too many times" and she grabbed Kathy's hand and put it on Carl's cock. Kathy tried to pull her hand back, but Audrey held it in place and then started moving it back and forth. As she used Kathy's hand to stroke Carl's cock she was saying things like, "See how hard my figment of imagination is" and "Still think no cock can be this big?" Then she let go of Kathy's hand and Kathy surprised her by not letting go of Carl's cock. She just looked at it and kept slowly stroking it. This went on for maybe thirty seconds and then Kathy surprised her again and went to her knees in front of Carl, took his cock in her mouth and started licking and sucking it. Audrey laughed and said, "I told you he was big."

Kathy had dropped her towel and Carl started shucking off his clothes and then he got down on the floor and pulled Kathy into a sixty-nine. After a couple of minutes Carl turned around and started easing his cock into Kathy and she moaned as he worked into her. Kathy took it all! Audrey couldn't believe it. She had never been able to take it all and most of the time she and Carl made love it had hurt unless Carl had taken it easy, but Kathy had taken it all and was fucking back up at Carl as he drove in. Audrey said Kathy had come two or three times before Carl said he was coming. He had asked Kathy if she was protected and when she said no he pulled out and shot all over her stomach. Then Kathy dressed and headed on home.

I remembered that night. I wanted to make love when she got home, but she said that she didn't feel up to it. That was the first time ever that Kathy told me no and now I knew why. She was too stretched from Carl's cock and she knew that I'd notice. I was just a tad pissed that my wife had cheated on me. I asked Audrey why she hadn't stopped it.

"I didn't think anything of it at the time. Carl and I have a pretty open marriage and we both get together with others and sometimes we do it in the same room and at the same time."

"If that's the case why are you here? If Carl was doing what you let him do what is your problem? I mean at least as far as you are concerned. I seem to be the only one with a problem here. I'm the one that you, Kathy and your husband turned into a cuckold."

"There's more" she sniveled. "Remember the night Kathy called you and said that we'd been out drinking and she was going to spend the night with me because she was too loaded to drive home?"

I nodded a yes.

"It was a set-up. We stopped for a drink after work and then we went to my place where Carl was waiting for us. We watched a porn tape and then Carl took out his cock and Kathy went down on him. I got up to go into the kitchen and get more beer and when I came back into the living room Carl and Kathy were on the floor fucking. The phone rang and when I answered it it was Tony. He was a guy that Carl and I had played with before and he wanted to know if I was up for some fun. Carl was going to be busy with Kathy for a while so I told Tony to hurry over. He got there about fifteen minutes later.

"By then Carl had cum in Kathy and I was sucking his cock to get him hard for my turn. The door bell rang and I got up to let Tony in and when we got to the living room Kathy was riding Carl cowgirl so I took Tony into the bedroom. Tony fucked me and after we came I was sucking him to get him hard for another go when Kathy and Carl came in and got on the bed next to us. Tony fucked me again while Kathy worked at getting Carl back up again.

"By the time Tony and I finished Kathy had Carl up again and was riding him. Tony got up and put his cock at Kathy's mouth and told her to get him hard again and Kathy turned her head away. Then Carl told her to do it or he would pull out of her and she would never get his cock again. Kathy took Tony in her mouth and started sucking him. When he was hard Tony got off the bed and went to where we keep the KY jelly and when he came back he moved in behind Kathy. Carl knew what Tony wanted so he pulled Kathy down to his chest and Tony worked some KY onto his cock and rubbed a little in Kathy's ass. Kathy yelled out that she didn't do that and Carl told her that she damned well would or she could get off of him and go home. Kathy cried and whimpered for a bit and then she slowly started getting into it. Pretty soon she was fucking back at Tony while trying to take all of Carl's cock.

"Carl came first and then Tony. I started sucking Carl to get him up and Tony was trying to get Kathy to do the same, but Kathy was reluctant until Carl told her to do it if she expected to get any more of his cock so she went to work on Tony while I worked on getting Carl hard enough to have my turn with him. Kathy got Tony hard and he pushed her on her back and fucked her. When Carl finished with me I was beat and said I was going to bed. When I left Tony was fucking Kathy and Carl was kneeling by her head feeding his cock into her mouth.

"When I woke up in the morning I was alone in bed and so I got up and went looking for Carl. I found Tony asleep on the couch and I found Carl and Kathy in the spare bedroom. Carl was fucking Kathy doggie and I stood there and watched until Carl got off. I was a little pissed and I said it was about time for Kathy to go home. She dressed, thanked me for a fun evening and then left.

"After she was gone Carl told me that she was "one great piece of ass" and that he and Tony had taken turns fucking her all night long. One would come in her and then rest while the other one fucked her and then Kathy would suck the rested one hard so he could fuck her."

I sat there listening to the weeping woman and trying to figure out what her problem was. She and her husband had turned my wife into a cheating slut and she was in my garage telling me that she needed my help? I'm sitting there finding out that the woman I had loved for the last ten years is cheating on me with not one but two guys. I'm trying to get my head around what she is telling me and then I asked her why she was telling me. She sobbed and told me that there was more.

"I told you that Carl's cock was so big that I couldn't take it all without it hurting me right?"

I nodded a yes.

"Carl couldn't quit talking about what a great fuck Kathy was and he wanted me to bring her home with me again. I told him it was time to put Kathy behind us and move on and he blew up on me. He said, and his exact words were:

"To hell with that Audrey. I finally found a woman who can take all of me and beg me to fuck her harder and there is no way in hell that I'm not going to see more of her."

"Then I told him that it didn't matter because I wasn't going to bring her home with me any more. The next day at work Kathy told me how great the night had been and she was looking forward to doing it again. I told her that Carl and I had talked it over and that we decided not to do it again. Kathy was disappointed and I thought everything was okay after that. That is I thought everything was okay until today. I called Carl at work and was told that he went home at one. I didn't think anything of it until I went to Kathy's office to ask her if she would like to stop for a drink after work. Kathy wasn't there. She had gone home sick at one. I remembered that Kathy had gone home early three days in a row and I got suspicious, told the boss I had a family emergency and headed for home. When I got there Kathy's car was in the driveway. I went into the house and as soon as I was in the door I heard Kathy crying at Carl to fuck her harder. I left the house and came right over here. You have to help me" Audrey sobbed, "I need my husband back. I can't compete with Kathy when she can take all of Carl and I can't. You have to get your wife away from my husband."

I almost laughed at her. The stupid cunt had pushed my wife into cheating on me with her husband and now she wanted ME to put a stop to it. I didn't laugh though. What I wanted to do was scream at her for ending my marriage, but I couldn't because I was going to need her. As soon as Audrey told me about the first time Carl dicked Kathy at her place Kathy was history. The rest of the story didn't matter. No matter how many times Kathy fucked Carl the first time was the bullet that killed our marriage. I needed a plan and the one I was roughing out in my mind was going to need Audrey's cooperation if it had any chance at all of working.

I told her to be cool, give me a day or two to come up with a plan and then I'd call her.

"Another couple of days of them fucking themselves stupid won't hurt as long as we can end it for good right?"

"If you say so."

"Trust me on this Audrey. I'll take care of Kathy."

Audrey had been gone about twenty minutes when the phone rang. It was Kathy.

"I'm sorry baby, but something big has come up and I'm going to have to work late. There should be plenty of leftovers in the fridge for you to microwave."

"I'll find something."

"Love you baby; see you later."

I had to laugh at that "Something big has come up." I wondered if she had deliberately phrased it that way while looking at Carl's eleven inches getting hard. Love you baby? I'll just bet I thought.

++++++++++++++++++

I fixed myself some dinner and then went out and sat on the patio with a beer. It had only been three hours since Audrey's visit. Three hours since my marriage ended and for some strange reason I didn't feel bitter about it. Angry yes, but not bitter. At least I now knew why I hadn't been laid in the last week. As I sat there I tried to think of ways to end things and still keep the house I knew I was going to have to give an Academy Awards performance until I could lower the boom on my loving wife.

Not trying to get laid wouldn't be much of a problem. I could try secure in the knowledge that as long as she was fucking Carl every day she would find ways to put me off because she wouldn't want me wondering why she was so loose. On the other hand when I kicked her to the curb it might be a while before I could find another woman. I just might have to pretend not to notice that I couldn't touch the sides if she ever decided to give me any.

As I sipped my beer and watched the sun go down behind the mountains I mentally worked on the rough plan that. It just might work. It all depended on how naïve Audrey was. Or maybe not naïve, just upset at the thought of losing her man. Upset to the point where she wasn't thinking straight.

I was still sitting on the patio, six empty beer bottles sharing the space with me when I heard:

"I'm home baby. Where are you?"

"On the patio."

She came out and bent to kiss me and it was an inner struggle to not turn my head since I knew where her mouth had been earlier, but I managed.

"You must have been out here for a while" she said as she noticed the beer bottles.

"Been sitting here thinking."

"About what?"

"About us."

"About us? What about us?"

"Wondering if something is wrong."

"Wrong? What could be wrong?"

"I don't know, but our sex life has dropped to nothing lately and I wondering why. You've told me no for almost a week now and that has never happened before."

"Oh baby; I'm sorry. I should have told you but I didn't think it was important. I have a yeast infection. I'm treating it and it should clear up soon. I hadn't realized what it might be doing to you. I can make it better" she said as she knelt in front of me and pulled down my zipper.

I will have to say her time with Carl and probably her night with Carl and Tony had improved her blow job skills. If she blew me as regularly as we used to make love I could go along with her yeast infection bullshit. When we went to bed she snuggled up next to me like she usually did and I had to wonder what was going on in her mind. How long did she think she could go on fucking Carl and using the yeast infection story?

I got a partial answer Saturday morning. I woke up to Kathy sucking my cock and when she saw I was awake she handed me our tube of KY lotion and said:

"The yeast infection won't stop us from using my butt."

That took me totally by surprise. Kathy didn't like anal sex at all, but here she was telling me to do it. She must have really been feeling guilty to make me the offer so I took her up on it.

I was cutting the grass when she came out of the house and told me that Audrey had called and asked her to come over and give her some advice on some wallpaper that Audrey was thinking of putting up. As I watched her walk away I knew that Audrey hadn't called and that she was on her way to visit Carl. I wondered if I would get some more ‘guilty' butt time that night and it turned out that I did. Her butt did seem a ‘little less tight' that night, but it could have just been my imagination.

I found out later that it wasn't. Kathy had indeed gone to visit Carl and Tony happened to be there also. According to Audrey my loving wife had spent four hours being DPed.

Sunday Kathy stayed home and I got a blow job just before dinner and another one just at bedtime. She said she wanted to give her butt a rest.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

At work I spent some more time working on the plan that was rolling around in my head and I thought that I could pull it off, but I realized I needed some expert information and advice. At lunch time I got out the Yellow Pages, found what I wanted and called Spenser Investigations. I made an appointment to see them when I got off work and then I called my friend Mark. He had gone through a divorce and had come out of it pretty well. I asked for the name and number of his attorney and I called and made an appointment for the next day.

It came as no surprise when Kathy called me at three and told me that she had to work late again.

"I know it will mean leftovers again, but I will make it up to you. Keep the KY handy."

That told me as well as anything that Kathy didn't plan on giving up her visits to Carl anytime soon. I've already mentioned that Kathy wasn't overly fond of anal sex and I only rarely got any. Usually she had to be half drunk to give up her pooper. She said it made her feel dirty and yet here she was basically telling me I would get a steady diet of it while she had her ‘yeast infection.'

MY visit with Gavin Nichols of Spenser Investigations was fruitful. He told me that what I wanted to do was doable, but only if I got Audrey on board with it and to make sure that she was he gave me a consent form for her to fill out. Once she signed it we could go ahead. That was going to be the trick. Getting Audrey to go along with it. Not only to get her to go along with it, but keep her from finding out the real purpose of it. She was looking to get Kathy away from Carl. I was looking to get rid of Kathy. I'm not sure that Audrey would go along with my plan if she knew I was going to use what I came up with to divorce Kathy.

That evening I was again on the patio watching the sun go down as I made a list of the things I needed to do when it was time. How to handle money, credit cards and things like that. I had to decide how to retain the house pending the divorce and I supposed that the attorney could advise me on that. I intended to keep the house no matter what so finding a locksmith who could respond quickly was put on the list. I heard Kathy call out:

"I'm home baby. Where are you?" and I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost eight-thirty. I didn't bother to call back and tell her where I was and a minute later she came out, bent over to kiss me and I had to fight the urge to turn away from the lips that had been sucking Carl's cock. She kissed me and asked if I had eaten and I said yes. She said that she hadn't and she reached for my zipper.

"Can we go inside? The cement is hard on my knees. Besides, we need to be where the KY is."

I finished my beer and we headed for the bedroom. Kathy sucked me off, swallowed and then stayed on me until I was up again and then she handed me the KY.

I was surprised when I woke up with my cock in Kathy's mouth for the second day in a row. Either Kathy was feeling really, really guilty over fucking Carl or giving me Carl's leftovers was a huge turn on for her because even though we did occasionally have sex in the mornings on a work day it was almost never initiated by Kathy. Two days in a row and both started by her? Oh yeah; definitely guilt or a turn on.

++++++++++++++++++++

I saw an attorney on Tuesday afternoon and he basically told me what I already knew. I would do well in a divorce based on adultery, but I would need solid proof otherwise it would be a "You did" "I didn't" situation and while the divorce would eventually be granted it would be on a roughly fifty-fifty basis. I told him to start the paperwork and that I'd get the proof needed.

When I left the attorney's office I looked at my watch and saw that it was three-thirty. I called Martin Industries and asked for Audrey and when she came on the line I asked her if she had any plans for after work and she told me no and then began to cry.

"Kathy left early and we both know why. You have to do something Dean; you just have to do something."

"That's why I'm calling. I think I know a way to do it. Meet me at Bud's Bar when you get off work and we can talk about it."

I was sitting in a booth when she got there and I had already ordered a white wine for her and Suzie brought it over as soon as Audrey sat down. She took a sip and then said:

"You think you can stop them? Really?"

"I'll need your help."

"I'll do it! I'll do whatever I have to to get her away from my man."

"I hope that you really mean that because what I want to do won't work without your help. We not only need to break them apart, but we also need to do it in a way that will keep them apart. Stop them from sneaking off and using motel rooms and the like. There is a way and it is a little drastic, but it should work."

"What do I need to do?"

"You need to let me put a couple of surveillance cameras in your house. If I can get Kathy and Carl on tape I can show the tape to Kathy and tell her if she doesn't stop cheating on me I'll show the tape to all of her relatives. You know what a bunch of self-righteous religious fanatics they are. They would completely disown Kathy and she knows it. Plus I can tell her I'll keep the tape in a safe place and if she ever gets caught cheating on me again I'll see that her family gets the tape."

"You think that will work?"

"You have known her and her family a lot longer than I have. What do you think?"

"You are right about the fact that they will totally disown her."

"Can you hold out for another week?"

"I don't know. I'm afraid that the longer it goes on the harder it is going to be to split them apart. I've never minded Carl having sex with other women just like he doesn't mind me spending time with other men, but this is the first time he has latched onto one particular woman and won't let go. I don't want to lose my man. We have to stop them."

I handed her a piece of paper and said, "Sign this."

"What is it?"

"A consent form allowing me to put cameras in your house."

"When can you do it?" she said as she signed.

"The sooner the better. Can you go into work late tomorrow?"

"I could. Why?"

"Since Carl and Kathy are leaving work early to go to your house and play the morning would be the best time to place the cameras. If we tried it in the afternoon they might come home and catch us."

"Okay. What time?"

"Say nine?"

"Okay."

I called Gavin Nichols at Spenser Investigations and told him I had the signed consent and he said he would have a man meet me at Audrey's place the next morning.

I went home and since Kathy hadn't called to say she would be working late I expected her home at her usual time. Keeping up pretenses I decided to act the loving husband and fix dinner so she wouldn't have to after her ‘hard day at work.' I was on the patio when she breezed in and called out that she was home. She came out onto the patio, kissed me and asked me what I would like for dinner and I told her that it was ready. That got me another kiss and she said:

"I'm going to have to reward you for that because to tell the truth I really don't feel like cooking."

We ate and then watched some TV until she said, "I'm beat baby; how about we go to bed early?"

Once in bed she said, "I'm really beat baby, but not to beat to give you your reward."

She went down on me and after several minutes she said, "Where do you want to cum lover; in my mouth or in my ass?"

Ever the loving husband I said, "You're tired sweetie. We can leave your sexy butt for next time."

She went back to her hum job and a minute or so later I erupted and she swallowed it all. She snuggled up next to me and we fell asleep.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Where do you want them?" the man from Spenser's asked.

I turned to Audrey and asked, "Where do they usually do it?"

"The living room and the bedroom."

The man walked through the living room and picked out two places where mini-cams could be placed without being noticed and then he did the same in the bedroom. The cams were wireless and sent their product to a recorder that we hid in the garage attic. After he was gone I gave Audrey a small remote control device and told her that it would turn off the recorder when she and Carl were making love.

"We want to catch Kathy and not intrude on your privacy."

It was bullshit of course. The remote was from my Canon Rebel digital camera and wouldn't do anything where the recorder was concerned, but I wanted Audrey to be relaxed.

"We want a couple of day's worth and it would be great if we could get film of her with Carl and with that Tony guy. She really, really wouldn't want her family seeing that."

Audrey said, "It will probably happen. In fact, I can make it happen. I can probably get her gangbanged if you think that might help."

"Do it. The raunchier the better. We have to make it so bad that she would die before letting her family see the tape."

Kathy called me that afternoon and told me that she would be a little late.

"I'm going to stop for a drink or two with Audrey after work."

"Don't over do it and have to sleep at her place like the last time."

"I won't. Have the KY handy when I get home okay?"

"You got it."

She giggled and said, "Oh no lover; you are going to get it."

Kathy got home at ten and true to her word as soon as she got on the bed she got in the doggie position and I reached for the KY.

The next morning Audrey called me at work and told me that Tony had come over and that he and Carl had both fucked Kathy.

"The slut took Carl in her pussy and Tony in her ass at the same time."

"You don't sound pissed at her doing it. It sounds like you are more upset that it wasn't you."

"I am upset that it wasn't me. Ever since Kathy came along I haven't been getting near as much as I used to."

"Then set yourself up a gangbang for a time when you know Kathy will be there. You can get your fill and at the same time we will get Kathy on tape and then we will have enough to approach her about ending it with Carl."

"Good idea. I'll try for tomorrow night and if not then probably the next night."

"Good. We both want to get this over with."

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kathy was home at her regular time that night and after dinner we sat out on the patio for a while watching the sun disappear behind the mountains and then we played cribbage until bed time. As we got ready for bed I asked her how her yeast infection was coming along.

"It isn't clearing up as fast as it should. I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow and maybe change my prescription. What's the matter? Getting tired of my pooper?"

"No, but you never used to want to do anal and I'm feeling a little guilty over having you do so much of it lately."

"Don't worry about it lover. The important thing to me is to keep you happy and satisfied. Let me know if you start to get short of KY and I'll stop and get more. Can I start you with a little head?"

"That's one of the things that I'm missing. Not being able to return the pleasure."

"I miss it too lover, but hopefully things will clear up soon."

"Yes they will" I thought as she took my cock in her mouth, "Only not in the way you expect."

Audrey called me at work and told me that she had lined up three guys for that night and two of them said that they would try and bring a friend or two.

"I'm going to talk Kathy into having a drink with me after work and then tell her Tony is coming over and that I can't handle Carl and Tony together. Then I'll tell her to take care of Carl for me since I can't take all of him. If I can get her there Carl will see to it that she plays. He will do the same thing he did with Tony. You know, the do it or you won't get any more of my cock thing. If she does it we will have what we need to end it. If she comes home right after work we will try again, but if she does go to the house with me I'll call you in the morning and let you know what happened."

I spent most of the day wondering if Kathy would do it or come home. I got the answer at ten to five.

"Hi lover. Just letting you know that I'm stopping with Audrey and some of the girls for a drink and then we may go over to Harrelson's. They have a half price sale on shoes. Okay with you?"

"Sure sweetie; have fun."

I resigned myself to no sex that night. If Kathy got gangbanged that night and the gangbang was anything like the ones I'd been to when I was in college Kathy's ass would be as loose as her cunt after Carl had been there. I might get a blow job but even that was doubtful because it would be a good bet that her jaw would be as sore as her ass and cunt would be loose. And, I thought, she will obviously look like she was rode hard and put up wet. In her mind I expect that she would expect me to comment on it and I didn't want to chance that going where I wasn't quite ready to go. The more I thought on that the more I figured that this was going to be another ‘had too much too drink to drive home' night and I turned out to be right. At ten after ten Carl called me and told me that both Kathy and Audrey were blitzed and he had put them both to bed.

"She will probably call you in the morning all sorry and the like, but not to worry; she's in good hands."

Yeah, I thought; I'll just bet!

I got a call from Kathy at seven in the morning. "I'm sorry baby. I wasn't paying attention and I had way too much to drink and Carl wouldn't let me drive. I'm going to go to work from here and I'll see you tonight."

At nine Audrey called. "She didn't want to, but Carl did just what I thought he would do and told her to get with the program if she wanted to keep getting his cock. She was reluctant at first, but then she really got into it. She most definitely isn't going to want mommy and daddy seeing her with a cock in her mouth, ass and pussy at the same time. What do we do now?"

"I need to meet you at your place and get the stuff off the recorder so I can look at it and make sure that we got what we need. Once I'm sure that we have the goods I'll confront Kathy and we will go from there."

"Could you meet me there at lunch time? I really, really want to get Kathy away from my husband."

"I can do that. Meet at your place at twelve-fifteen?"

"That works for me."

I met Audrey, got the DVD out of the recorder and went back to work. I told my secretary that I didn't want to be disturbed by anyone except my boss and then I went down to the conference room where there was audio/visual equipment. I locked the door, fed the DVR into the equipment, muted the sound and then sat down to watch my wife fuck her marriage away.

I saw Kathy with Carl, I saw her with Carl and Tony and I saw her with Carl, Tony, Audrey and another woman I didn't know. Audrey had never mentioned that she and Kathy went sixty-nine on each other. She had also never mentioned that she sucked Kathy's tits while Carl buried himself in Kathy's cunt. And there was never any mention of Kathy eating Audrey's pussy while Tony took Kathy in the ass. I hadn't even got to the gangbang yet, but decided that I'd seen enough for the time being. I'd watch the gangbang at home.

I called Audrey and told her that we had enough and I would confront Kathy in a couple of days, but first I needed to make copies and put them in a safe place.

"Hang in there a couple more days Audrey and it will be all over."

"Okay, but hurry please."

I'd been thinking on it for a bit and I decided that I wanted to know what went on at Audrey's place even after I had it out with Kathy. It was a good bet that she would run to Carl and I really wanted to know what was said. I called Spenser's and told them what I wanted and they told me it could be done, but that it would be expensive. It would be expensive because I would actually have to buy the equipment and I might end up losing it if things went wrong. I decided to bite he bullet and do it.

I called Audrey and told her that we had to meet at her place so the mini cams and the recorder could be removed. We met and the man from Spenser's made a show out of taking out the equipment. He didn't take it out though. While I distracted Audrey he moved it and instead of taking out the recorder he replaced it with a wireless recorder/repeater that would send it's product to a unit in my car. All I had to do was get five hundred feet from the repeater, press a button on a remote control and what was on the recorder would be sent to the unit in my car and then I could take it home and review it. The best part was that if things worked the way I hoped Carl would be picking up the expense.

Carl was always bragging about how his house was almost paid off and that was the lynch pin that I based my plan on. As long as he wasn't lying and as long as he valued his job my plan should work. Carl was a well paid division manager where he worked. The chairman of the board of his company was a deacon in his church and the president and CEO was active in several church functions. I had no way of knowing how they would react to getting copies of the DVD, but the important thing here was that Carl didn't know how they would react either.

They might shrug and say that it was his personal business and they might not. If they did tolerate it would they still go along with it if I turned it into a local scandal? If I hit Carl with a highly publicized Alienation of Affections suit? How many of the men who were at the gangbang were married and their wives didn't know what they were doing? Who was the woman I saw on the DVD and was she married and if so did her husband know that she played?

I was gambling that I could get away with a little blackmail.

To make it work I would need to try and get the names of the players from Audrey before I unloaded on Kathy.

++++++++++++++++++++

Kathy came straight home from work that night and fixed dinner. After dinner she was in a lovey-dovey mood so I took advantage of the situation and got a hum job and some anal sex. She woke me in the morning with a blow job and went all the way and swallowed. I was going to miss her when she was gone.

I called Audrey from work and asked her if she could meet me for lunch and she said she could. Once we were seated and had ordered I cut to the chase.

"Got a problem Audrey and I need your help."

"Does it have to do with Carl and Kathy?"

"In a way. We still need to split them up, but the problem I have is that the film I have of Kathy turns me on something fierce. The gangbang blew my mind. And watching Kathy with that other woman was mind boggling. What I want to do to show Kathy that I still love her even after she cheated on me with Carl is set her up with a surprise gangbang. One in which I'll take part. I want it to be a surprise. You know; have her come home some night and find us all waiting there. I'd love to be there when she and that other woman play.

"My problem is that I don't know people that I could ask to bang my wife and then there is Kathy needing to be comfortable with whoever is there. I'm thinking that the best way to go about it is use the people she already knows. The ones that were at the last gangbang. Can you give me the names and phone numbers so I can set it up?"

"You? Mr. Straight Arrow?"

"What can I say? That gangbang turned me on like nothing ever has before. I just have to do one with Kathy. I'll wait until after we break Kathy away from Carl, but I really want to make it happen."

"Could you maybe set it up for when Carl is on one of his business trips? I'd like to be there too."

"I don't know about that Audrey. You are one sexy lady and if you were there I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of you."

"I wouldn't want you to."

"But I would have to Audrey. If I did you after splitting Kathy and Carl apart they would say if we could do it so could they. And you know Kathy would tell him about it as soon as he got home from his trip."

"There is that. Oh well, it would have been fun, but you are right; we don't want to give them any reason at all to start up again. Maybe you could film it and let me see it? It would be a kick for me to see Mr. Straight Arrow using his straight arrow on Kathy and Gloria."

"Gloria?"

"She's the girl you want to see Kathy with. You will need to make sure that her hubby is out of town though. He is the jealous type and he would go ballistic if he found out that Gloria played around."

"So can you give me the names?"

I was hoping that she was so hell bent on getting Kathy away from Carl that she wouldn't stop to think about it. If she was thinking straight she would ask me to tell her when and then she would make the calls and set it up for me and I didn't want that. I wanted names and numbers so I could find out who they were. She didn't disappoint me.

She opened her purse, took out a small notebook and gave me all the names and phone numbers that I'd asked for. A nice girl and sexy as hell, but not too bright. But then I was counting on that.

My boss was out of town so I let my work slide and used the afternoon to go through the phone book and by quitting time I had the addresses for all eight of the ones who had been at the gangbang and I had found out for sure that five of them were married or they were according to the phone book. I assumed that if the entry said, "Smith, Jane and John" it meant that they were married. I hoped that some time at the library using the reverse directories would give me the information on the other three, but if I couldn't find them no sweat. The five I had would serve my purpose.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

I had everything I needed to put the plan I hoped would work into action. I called the lawyer and told him I had the audio and visual proof I needed and he said he would file the papers the next day.

I took the next step over dinner that evening. "We haven't had Carl and Audrey over for a barbecue in a while. Why don't you see if we can set something up for this Saturday?"

I saw a small change come across her face as she thought about having her husband and her lover in the same place at the same time. Would anything give them away? Could she chance it? But then she must have decided that not to invite them over would make me wonder why and she didn't want that either.

"I'll ask Audrey at work in the morning."

That night she didn't offer any sex and I didn't try to get any and we fell asleep cuddled up next to each other.

At ten in the morning Audrey called and told me Kathy had invited her and Carl over for a barbecue on Saturday.

"Do you think that's wise?"

"We want them thinking that everything is cool and that I'm clueless as to what they have been doing. What better way to keep them thinking I'm in the dark than for me to invite her lover over to the house?"

"He is not her lover!!! He's just using her."

"Whatever. I just want to keep her thinking everything is fine until I hit her with the ultimatum. By Tuesday it should be all over and done with. That is it will be done with if she is more worried about her relationship with her family than losing Carl's cock. That has always been my biggest worry in this; that she will say that her family can go to hell and that there is no way she is going to give up Carl's big dick."

"Oh shit! I never thought of that. What will we do then?"

"I'll tell her I'm going to divorce her if she sees Carl again and then if she doesn't give him up I will do it."

"Then she will be free to spend even more time with him. What will I do then?"

"I don't know Audrey. Just cross your fingers and pray that one of the threats will work."

I wasn't surprised when at four-ten Kathy called me and told me that the Hillman's would be coming over for a barbecue on Saturday.

"I told Audrey two; is that okay?"

"Just fine."

"I'm going to be a little late tonight so why don't you go ahead and microwave some leftovers. I'll make it up to you tonight. Have the KY handy okay?"

"I can live with that" I said knowing full well that I wouldn't be living with it soon.

I was in bed when Kathy got home. I had the KY handy on the bedside stand and I was sitting and reading when she came into the bedroom. Kathy laughed when she saw the KY and said:

"Ready and waiting I see."

"You did tell me you would make it up to me for having to suffer through heated up leftovers again."

She stripped and got into bed and said, "How do you want me?"

"Doggie. I think you like it better that way."

She moved into position and I worked on her butt a little with KY coated fingers and I even slipped one into her pussy and it went in with no resistance. Either Kathy didn't notice the finger because she was used to Carl's big cock or she decided that it would be best to just keep quiet. If she were to say something it might lead me to asking why a pussy I hadn't used in weeks was so easily penetrated. Knowing that it was going to be my last time ever with Kathy I should have said to hell with it and just taken her cunt, but I needed her to be in a good mood for the barbecue so I greased up my cock with the KY and eased it into her ass.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Audrey and Carl arrived at two and I looked into Carl's face as we shook hands, but I didn't see any smirk or an "I know something you don't know" sneer. We went out onto the patio where I already had the charcoal going. I had a pitcher of margaritas on the table and I poured a glass for each of my guests.

We made small talk for a bit and then I got up and put the steaks on. I fed Audrey, Kathy and Carl margaritas while barely sipping the one I had. I wanted them ‘well oiled' by the time the meal was over.

When the steaks were ready Kathy brought out the potato salad she'd made and we ate and talked. When we finished eating I gave everyone a fresh drink and then said:

"I had an ulterior motive in asking you over for this barbecue. I have a problem that I hope you can help me with Carl."

"Whatever buddy; you know I'll help you if I can."

"My problem is this house. I love this patio and the view I have of the mountains and I don't want to give it up."

"Give it up?" Kathy said. "Why on earth would we give it up?"

"Be patient my loving wife and let me finish. I will get the house in the divorce, but..."

"What divorce? Have you had too much to drink? You are acting weird and..."

"Yes dear Kathy, you are partly right. I have been acting for a while now. Acting like the clueless husband you thought I was. Now shut the fuck up and let me finish what I have to say. As I said, I will get the house in the divorce, but I won't be able to keep it without Kathy's paycheck to help. What I need to do is refinance and get the payments down to where I can handle them on my own. I've looked into it and it can be done if I can get the principal down some.

"That's where I need your help Carl. You are always saying that your house is almost paid off so you should be able to take out a second on it and give me forty thousand so I can pay down the principal on this house."

"What the fuck are you smoking? No fucking way am I going to do that!"

"You of course don't have to do it that way. I can just name you in the divorce and then sue you for alienation of affections. Who knows? I may get even more out of it if I go that route."

"Are you fucking mad?" Kathy yelled. What divorce and why are you threatening Carl?"

"To answer your questions my loving wife the divorce is the one I filed for yesterday. The grounds by the way are adultery. The suit against Carl would be for fucking you."

"You are out of your fucking mind" Kathy snarled and Carl was close behind with "No way. No fucking way!"

During all of this poor Audrey was sitting there with a shell-shocked look on her face.

"Too bad" I said, "I had hoped that Carl would have said that he would be happy to help me, but I guess not. I guess we all need to go into the living room so I can show you something."

I got up to go into the house, but no one got up to follow so I said to them:

"You really should come and see what is going to go out in the mail on Monday if we don't reach some sort of agreement this afternoon."

I went into the house and was sitting on the couch with the TV on and the remote for the DVD player in my hand when they came in.

"Have a seat and get comfortable" I said as I hit the play button on the remote. On the screen the footage of Kathy fucking Carl showed. I gave it a minute and then fast forwarded to the footage of Katy sucking on Carl's dick while Tony fucked her in the ass. I gave it thirty seconds or so and then fast forwarded to the gangbang. I glanced at Carl and his face was livid. Kathy was sitting there with her face in her hands crying and Audrey just sat there stunned.

"Now that you see what I have there are some decisions to make. Kathy, you have to decide whether or not you fight the divorce. If you decide to fight it a copy of this DVD will go out to every member of your family. They are already down on you for marrying an agnostic. How do you think they will behave when they find out that you are an adulteress? Don't fight it and you can tell them that you divorced me for cheating on you and if asked I won't deny it. I'll be gone, but you won't have lost your family."

I stopped the DVD and turned to Carl. "You have to decide how I get my forty grand. Voluntarily or through an alienation of affections suit. Or of course you can tell me to fuck off and die. If that is the case copies of the DVD will go to the chairman of the board and the president and CEO of your company. In addition a copy will go to all the wives of the men who were at your gangbang (and I named them all off) and they may come looking for you for causing problems in their marriages. Not to forget Gloria's hubby. I hear that he is a mean motherfucker and is very possessive where his wife is concerned. I'll need a decision before you leave."

"You really are a low life son of a bitch aren't you."

"Me? I'm not the one fucking another man's wife behind his back. I'm not the one who told Kathy that she had to fuck your friends or you wouldn't give her any more of your big dick. Oh no Carl; if anyone here is a low life son of a bitch it is you."

I stood up and said, "That was thirsty work. I believe I'll have another margarita. You decide what you want to do and let me know before you leave. I wasn't joking about mailing out stuff on Monday. By the way; you can have the DVD in the player. It is only a copy and I have lots more."

I went into the kitchen and used the blender to make some fresh margaritas and I was sitting on the patio sipping on one when Carl came out.

"You will have to give me some time to come up with the money."

"I'll give you two weeks."

"It will take longer than that to refinance and you know it."

"Okay. It took me five weeks to close on this house. I'll give you five weeks, but I'm not a trusting soul anymore Carl; not after the number that you and Kathy did on me, so I'll tell you up front that arrangements have been made to see that the DVDs get mailed out if anything happens to me. You best pray that I don't hit by a bus or have some other fatal accident,"

He left and I sat there for another half hour drinking my margaritas and enjoying the view before Kathy came out and sat down. She was red eyed from crying and she wouldn't look at me as she said, "I'm sorry."

"You are just sorry that you got caught Kathy."

"I don't want a divorce Dean. I love you. It was only a fling. A chance to experience something that I'd never had and wasn't likely to ever see again. It didn't cost you Dean. I took care of you. You didn't go without."

"I was doing without until the night you came home and saw those empty beer bottles and then all of a sudden it was I'd better take care of Dean or he might wonder why I'm not. You have been giving me what you have out of guilt or because it turns you on to give me sex after Carl has used you. Either those or a desperate need to keep me away from your cunt so I wouldn't find out how loose you were down there."

"That was part of it. I couldn't let you feel what he had done to my pussy, but the other wasn't out of guilt. I love you Dean; honest to God I do and I don't want a divorce."

"All I can say Kathy is that is just too bad, because you are getting one. As I told you in the living room your only choice in the matter is whether we go the easy way or the hard way. You can fight it, but you can't stop it. My attorney says that the DVD I gave him makes it a slam dunk for me. What you need to do now is go pack. You can sleep in the guest bedroom tonight, but tomorrow you need to find another place to stay."

"You really are going to do it? You really are going to kick me out even though I love you?"

"Yes I am."

"Where will I go?"

"Go live with Carl. You seem to prefer him to me anyway. Or you could go home to your parents. They will greet you with open arms when you tell them you have left your cheating agnostic husband."

"Don't make me leave Dean. Please don't make me leave."

"Sorry Kathy, but you made that choice the first time you spread your legs and gave it up to Carl."

I got up and left her sitting there crying.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Epilog.

Kathy was served and she didn't fight the divorce. She did go home to mom and dad and they did welcome her although she had to hear "I told you so" ten or fifteen times a day. She did what I told her to do and told them she left after catching me cheating on her. When one of her brothers saw me at Wal-Mart he came up to me and asked me how I could have done that to his sister. I just shrugged and said I was weak and couldn't resist a girl who was throwing herself at me. He just shook his head and walked away.

The divorce went through with the asset split being sixty-eight percent in my favor and I did get the house. The judge did rule that Kathy was to get ten percent of the equity in the house. Our equity was $62,165.00 so I had to give Kathy $6,217.00.

Carl did come through with the 40K although he did try to get out of it. I drove through his neighborhood once or twice a week and got downloads from the repeater hidden in his garage attic so I knew what was going on. I had the satisfaction of hearing him tell Kathy to "Fuck off and die" for being the cause of his money problems, but the most interesting conversation was the one he had with Audrey. He called her a stupid, dumb cunt for allowing me to put in the cameras. She told him that it was all his fault for the way he was behaving with Kathy.

"I was losing you to her and I had to stop it."

"Well you might just have lost me anyway. What you are going to do is go over to Dean's place, knock on the door and tell him I kicked you out because of what you did and that you have no place to stay. He's a sucker so he will take you in. You work your way into his good graces and find out where he keeps those damned DVDs. When you have them you can come home, but not until."

"You can't mean that."

"Oh yes I can."

I was not surprised when Audrey showed up at my door. She told me her sad story and Dean, the sucker, took her in. I told her she could have the guest bedroom until she could find a place of her own.

The night after I'd gone to bed Audrey made her first move to ‘get in my good graces' as Carl had told her to do. She came into my room and got in bed with me.

"I hate sleeping alone" she said as she reached for my cock.

Audrey fucked me every night and every morning for the next three days. On the fourth she asked if she could watch the DVD that I had.

"I especially want to watch the gangbang part."

She watched me closely as I went over to the book case and pulled out a book. Knowing her game plan ahead of time I'd cut several pages out of the book and had put the DVD in their place. I put the DVD in the player and then sat back and watched it with Audrey.

"That is so fucking hot" she said as she unzipped me and took out my already stiffening cock. She stroked it while watching Kathy eat Gloria while one of the guys at the gangbang took her dog fashion. I couldn't tell if he was in Kathy's cunt or ass, but Audrey, who had been there, knew and she got down on the floor on her hands and knees and said:

"Do me like Kathy while we watch. Fuck my ass baby just like Howie is taking Kathy's."

"I'll go get the KY."

"Don't need KY baby. Just go slow and be gentle at first. You'll know when to pick up the pace."

I eased into her and slowly worked it back and forth for a couple of minutes and then she started pushing her butt back at me. A minute later she cried:

"Now baby, now! Fuck my ass, fuck my ass, fuck my ass."

I started pounding her butt and she moaned, "Oh God yes, yes, harder, fuck my ass harder, OH GOD YES!!!"

I fucked her as hard as I could and she screamed out "YESSSSS" as she had an orgasm. It was a first for me. As often as I'd fucked Kathy in the pooper she had never had an orgasm from it. Thirty seconds after Audrey screamed out I pumped what felt like a gallon of sperm deep into her bowels. I stayed into her until I was limp and then I fell to the floor beside her and as I tried to catch my breath Audrey said:

"I love it in my ass, but I don't often get it so thank you baby."

"I would think with all the playing around you did with Carl and his friends that you would have gotten all the butt fucking that you wanted."

"I didn't. Carl is way too big and the first time he did it to me in the butt he hurt me bad. Since then I don't let him have my ass and his position is that if he can't have it no one can have it and he sees to it that no one goes there. If you wash it and I get it back up can we do it again?"

"Absolutely!"

I got up and keeping my body between Audrey and the DVD played I pretended to eject the DVD and then I walked over to the book case and pretended to put the disc away. Using the old ‘hide in plain sight' trick I left the DVD in the player. Not that it mattered since it was only one of many copies. I put the book back on the shelf, but left it about a half inch out of line with the rest of the books. I'd know if Audrey pulled the book out.

I did wash my dick. She did get me hard and I did do her ass again after which we went to bed, cuddled up together and fell asleep.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

The next day when I got home from work Audrey had dinner waiting and saying I needed to wash up I left the kitchen, but stopped by the bookshelf and saw that the book had been moved. I wondered what Audrey thought when she found the book empty. I also checked out several tell tales that I'd left in various places and it was obvious that Audrey had been doing some searching.

I debated telling her outright that she was wasting her time and that there was no way she could get into the safe deposit box at the bank where the original and all the copies were. Then I thought, Nah! She is a good cook and a fantastic bed buddy and I'd keep her around until Carl decided to let her come home.

A week went by with Audrey asking several times to watch the DVD and I always pulled it out of its most recent hiding place and played it. It almost always led to sex on the living room floor while we watched. Her favorite scene was Kathy eating out Gloria while the guy behind Kathy fucked her ass.

One night Audrey asked me if I would like for her to invite Gloria over so we could reenact the scene with her taking the part of Kathy and me being the guy in her butt. I was sorely tempted because Gloria was one hell of a hot looking lady, but if I played with her I'd be fucking a married woman behind her husbands back and I just wasn't made that way and I told it to Audrey. She gave me a funny look and then said:

"I once laughingly called you Mr. Straight Arrow, but you really are one aren't you?"

I shrugged and then she said, "How do you justify me? I'm married."

"Yes, but your husband kicked you out and that changes your status. You might be married, but you are separated and Carl has made no move to get you back. To me that makes you a free agent."

Then, on impulse, I ejected the DVD and gave it to her. "You can watch it if I'm not around and you are horny enough to use your fingers or your hairbrush. It's a copy and I have plenty more."

She was silent for a bit and then she softly asked, "You aren't really going to send off those copies are you?"

I got up and said, "Follow me" and I led her into the downstairs bedroom that I had turned into a home office. I showed her the box full of mailers that was on the floor next to the desk and then I pulled one out and handed it to her. She read the name and then said:

"Oh my God. His wife will kill him if she finds out."

"Let us hope that it doesn't come down to that. I wasn't bluffing Audrey. If Carl doesn't come through those mailers will be sent out."

"You don't care about the misery that it will cause their families?"

"Did they give a shit about me when they gangbanged my wife? I'm going up to bed. You coming?"

She followed me to the bedroom and then both of us did.

+++++++++++++++++++

I was still driving by Carl's house a couple of times a week and down loading from the repeater. I saw Carl with Gloria and several other ladies and I saw a couple of gangbangs, but I never saw Kathy there. She still called a couple of times a week begging me to let her come home. Always promising to make it up to me, but I always said "No thanks" and hung up on her.

Several times I heard the one sided conversation when Audrey would call and ask if she could come home. Carl always said, "Not until you have the DVDs that you are responsible for him having."

I decided to cut Audrey a break and I told her where the DVDs were. She called Carl and told them they were beyond reach and he told her:

"Tough shit! You don't get them; you don't get to come home."

After that I never again caught a one sided conversation between Audrey and Carl.

The weeks went by and then the five weeks that I'd given Carl were up. I called him and asked if he had the money and he told me that he was closing on the second loan in two days. I told him I'd give him three, but then I was done waiting.

"You'll get your fucking money" he snarled and hung up. Two days later at four in the afternoon a special messenger walked into my office and handed me an envelope. Inside there was a cashiers check for forty thousand. I left work, hit the bank, deposited the check and got the DVDs out of the safe deposit box.

Audrey had dinner ready when I got home and after we ate I told her I had stopped to get dessert on the way home. I went out to the car and got the box of DVDs and took them in the house and gave them to her.

"What's this?"

"Your dessert. It's all there. The original and all the copies. You can go home now."

She stared at me and then she said, "You know. You've known all along. But how?"

"We just pretended to take the recording devices out. They are still there. I wanted to know what Carl was plotting and planning. Believe it or not I'm going to miss you Audrey. I wish you the best."

I got a beer out of the fridge and headed out to the patio. As I took the first pull on the PBR I heard Audrey's car start. Oh well, it had been fun while it lasted.

I was watching the sun slowly disappear behind the mountains when I heard:

"I kept one for myself."

I turned to see Audrey standing there holding a DVD.

"Want to watch it with me? Interesting things happen when we watch it together."

"What are you doing here?"

"On my way to the house it occurred to me that Carl never did intend to let me come home if I didn't have the goods for him. If he could be that way he obviously didn't love me and even though I loved him I couldn't stay with someone who could treat me like that. I rang the doorbell and when he came to the door I handed him the box and told him he would hear from my lawyer when I got one and then I hot-footed it back here. I know you don't love me, but we are good together. Want to watch this with me?" and she held up the DVD.

I did.
