It was a crazy plan, but Kate knew she had made a big mistake and didn't have any better idea of how to fix it. She had gotten to the desperate stage, and desperation can make people do strange things.
She and Nona had grown up together as best friends. They weren't members of the cool cliques in middle school or early high school, and that's what really cemented their relationship, spending countless weekend nights commiserating, alone with each other. Late bloomers, each had been maid-of-honor in the other's wedding, and since they lived an hour apart, they talked incessantly on the phone.
Their husbands knew each other from having both gone to the same high school and were members of the same track team. They got along well, but nowhere near as close as Kate and Nona. Ross was kind of a geek, worked hard in school and seemed destined for some measure of future success in the world. Tony was a real good athlete, and he could get by in any group. Plus, he had natural good looks and an aura about him that attracted even the prettiest girls. Nona was just the one who thought she had succeeded in taming him.
Nona and Tony started dating as juniors in high school, and by the middle of their senior year, they were pretty much a steady couple. They set up Kate and Ross on a blind date, and it went well enough that the two couples doubled for their senior prom. Nona and Tony got married late that summer, and their first daughter was born less than six months later. Tony got a job as a travelling salesman for a big forklift and industrial equipment firm and made enough money to support his family quite nicely while Nona stayed home with their daughter. Soon enough, a second daughter came along, keeping her more than a little busy.
Ross and Kate went to different colleges, but close enough that they could see each other often enough. They dated off-and-on for almost six years before finally tying the knot a year after graduating.
After more than a decade together, Nona and Tony's marriage finally succumbed to the inevitable friction that seems to prevail these days. Nona's version was that he was never home, she was sure he was cheating on her, didn't help with household chores or raising the kids, etc., etc., etc. Tony just didn't like how they had become too domesticated; even though they could afford the occasional babysitter, they never went out or had any fun anymore.
Kate worked in the same building as Tony, so when he was in town, she got to listen to both sides. Even though Nona was her best friend, Kate came up with the line that there are three sides to every story - his, hers, and the truth. Tony moved out and Nona was left at home with their two daughters. Tony's salary wasn't big enough to support two households, so everybody suffered.
Ross and Kate had their problems too. It wasn't a storybook relationship, but they got along well enough and seemed to have worked out a pattern acceptable to both. He worked for a Japanese company, putting in long hours, and then there were the occasional dinners with visiting engineers and other company officials. He seemed almost proud when he claimed that he worked just as many hours as his Japanese cohorts, and certainly more than any "gaijin" American in the office. When he was home, Kate often found him tired, sullen and aloof, and their sex life drifted into a dull sameness that particularly irked Kate.
She thought Ross was a good enough lover - he always made sure that she had at least one orgasm. But he liked it slow and gentle, every time - in their bed, lights off, shades pulled, not too loud, with lots of privacy.
Kate certainly wasn't a swinger by any means, but she would certainly have liked to liven things up a bit, and more often too. She had a nice body and knew it, and she didn't mind showing it off. She was more than comfortable with hot tub nudity and was the first to go skinny-dipping on hot summer nights. As far as "doing the deed", she'd have loved to do it at least sometimes with the lights on, in different positions, different places, outdoors, maybe even someplace with the thrill of potentially getting caught. The idea of having somebody watching had crossed her mind more than once. But with Ross, it seemed like that wasn't going to happen.
About the only thing she definitely wouldn't do was anal sex. For some reason even she couldn't explain, that was off limits. Anything else to instill more passion and excitement in their sex life would have been great. But to her, Ross seemed stuck in low gear.
She wasn't actively looking for a different lover, but the thought had occasionally crossed her mind. "What would I do if the opportunity presented itself? What would I do if I could be sure that I could get away with it? Would I go through with it? What would it be like?"
Not quite a year after Nona and Tony separated, Kate ran into him after work one afternoon at a local bar/restaurant. Even though he was getting divorced from her best friend, she still found Tony very attractive. Their relationship had always had a flirty side to it, and Kate had had enough to drink that she was in that kind of mood. One thing led to the other, and under the pretense of diagnosing their malfunctioning lawn tractor, Kate invited Tony back to her house. Ross had already said that he was going to be working late, taking a visiting Japanese engineer to some sushi restaurant and wouldn't be home until almost midnight.
Tony had always liked how Kate looked, how she liked to dress to show off her big breasts and slim legs. It might not have been what she originally intended, but he certainly was going to press the issue if he could get away with it.
He started by cornering her in her kitchen and kissing her hard, so she couldn't resist - not that she would at that point. Between a business trip to Japan and her period, it had been weeks since Ross had touched at her, and Kate welcomed Tony's attention. At first, she just thought it was more of their harmless flirting, the kind of attention that can't really be a problem. But the more he kissed her and brushed his hands against her, the more she began to think that maybe, just this once, she'd like to do something on the dangerous side.
She started kissing back, and when he put his hand under her shirt, she even started unbuttoning it to make it easier for him to get at her.
He undid the clasp of her bra and watched her full breasts fall out into his hands. They were even bigger and more beautiful than he had imagined over all these years. He kissed her, working his way down her neck and licking her nipples, enjoying seeing them get bigger and erect.
She loved his expression as he looked over her body, and she felt herself really getting aroused at the touch of his hands. Kate liked the fact that he was obviously thrilled touching her like this. She pulled off his shirt, unbuckled his pants, and slid her hands into his briefs and felt his cock growing as she just held her hand around him. She didn't even have to massage it; she could feel him get bigger by the second.
With most of their clothes on the kitchen floor, and wearing only her panties, she led him by the hand upstairs. Immediately, she took off that last article of clothing and now completely naked, she lay back down on the bed. She liked how he paused and looked her over with lusty awe in his eyes as she lay there well illuminated in the early evening sunshine streaming in through the windows.
He stripped off the rest of his clothes, pulled a condom out of his wallet and expertly pulled it on his fully erect penis and climbed on top of her. Propping himself up on one arm, he took his stiff cock in the other, rubbing her wet pussy and sliding it across her clitoris until she was begging for him to fuck her.
