Nelson Swain's wife Rosalynn was and is a major league hottie. He has to pinch himself to believe he got her, altho he realizes his sizeable family fortune may well have played a role. He married her when they got out of college and moved to his job in Austin. Their love life was pretty good at first. But, like most newly-weds, after the first couple of years they slowed to a more casual once or twice a week pace, just getting him off. With some little luck she might also cum.
They didn't have any babies. One of the few major decisions they made that both were equally on board with was that they didn't want to have any kids, not for the time being anyway.
Nelson was not terribly thoughtful of Ros in their daily communications; it sometimes seemed like he didn't really care about her, or anyone else other than himself. Spoiled rich-man syndrome? She had more than once silently scolded herself for having said yes to the first multi-millionaire who proposed to her. She wanted out, she occasionally thought. She did not know it, but he had entertained very similar thoughts about her. They didn't have much to offer each other in life, and she had even taken, most secretly, to thinking of him as her 'Half-Nelson'.
But, on the other hand, it was the polish on his image to claim such a beauty as his. For her, well the money certainly made life a lot easier.
===MOVING UP THE LADDER===
Ros starts a new job at a large insurance company as a pool secretary/typist in Human Resources. Well, they call them Personal Assistants now days. But her husband understood her duties to be largely secretarial.
Only two months after she started the new job, she told Nelson about the new, youngish gent that just came on board from a larger competitor. He came in as Executive Vice President on the top floor. She learned all this when the tall, very handsome new man was escorted around to meet all the home office staff. He had seemed very attentive and all happy-faced to her when she was introduced to him, and she immediately thought that she hoped she get to know him a bit better.
However prophetic that would prove to be, she wasn't going to tell her husband about that perception. He probably wouldn't have been paying attention anyway.
The new guy, Derrick Manson, a late 30's, divorced man would be in charge of Corporate Annuities, whatever that meant, which was a new position for the company.
On his first day on the job, Manson had gone to lunch with the CEO. He lunched with two other EVP's on his 2nd day, and the SVP in charge of Legal on the third. Thursday morning, Manson called Ros' boss and asked if he could take his PA out to lunch.
Her boss immediately understood what this must mean. Manson was building a new staff from the ground up and probably had an eye on the prettiest gal in the head office to be his new PA. Ros' boss knew he would be outranked if Manson decided to steal Rosalynn away. He himself had a major boner on for Rosalynn which he had never yet had an opportunity to show to her.
The two went to lunch. He treated her like a first date, not just another PA, and charmed her with some rather personal chit chat. She understood he was recruiting, and she very much wanted the obvious promotion, so she turned on the charm and was 'accidentally' touching hands with him when their lunch moved into the second hour.
He asked her to continue their chat over lunch the next day as well, "Two days in a row, sir? OMG won't people be talking?"
"Let's give them something to talk about." As he put an arm around her waist and pulled her close as he walked her to the door." He drove them to a more exclusive place across town.
He was flirty and talked smoothly. Manson made it clear, if she hadn't caught on already, that he was interested to see if there was a fit for his Exec PA job. He asked her several questions about her husband Nelson, and she could see he was paying close attention. She was candid with her Luke-warm thoughts on her marriage. She briefly felt like he was boring into her a bit too much on this highly personal topic, but she really, really wanted to work for this hunk so she thought it might be beneficial is she planted some seeds of marital discontentment.
He put his hands on hers and gently described the job as working closely with him personally which would require some overtime after closing hours and the occasional business trip with him. She kept her hand in his and started gently scratching her fingernail on his palm.
She remember that was a suggestive gesture from her teen-age years, but she realized she couldn't even recall the exact message it was sending. Was it something like 'I want you to put this hand on my pussy.'? Oh well.
Manson said the company would pay for her to get a passport and she would qualify for the company's free Personal Care. She nodded her head to all of that, not caring a whit about the details of 'Personal Care'. He lifted her hand to his lips and gently kissed it in what he hoped was both gentlemanly and sexually suggestive. He softly stated that he wanted her to be his new PA. She knew that would pay a good $10k a year more than the entry level job she had recently moved into.
She softly stroked the back of his hand in return, looking deeply into his steel blue eyes. Her heart flipped a beat thinking of travelling to exotic places with this Adonis; she thought about telling him she wanted the job even without the raise. Of course, she did no such thing.
She agreed with the more demanding hours and to her travelling occasionally, all the while retaining the hand-to-hand contact he had initiated. She assured him that would be no problem though she silently thought the travel might cause an argument or two back home. But she knew how to deal with that. She held out her hand to shake his, which lasted a few seconds longer than it really needed to.
When Ros got home, she excitedly told Nelson about her quick move up the ladder and her big pay raise. He must have majored in balloon-busting as he waived it off, saying something about how she didn't need to work for a living anyway and how the new boss probably hired her to get in her pretty panties; that he himself had paid for.
She wanted to slug him, but she silently had to agree he surely had both parts right. She rather slyly snuck in the info about travelling and working overtime.
