Temp Wife Part 01
They have a plan for bringing him back to life
~~~~~{}~~~~~
I sat in my office, at my desk, going through the motions like I have for the last three years. I'm stuck in a morass of grief and loss. I'm no longer alive, I'm only existing. I continue though because people depend on me, people that I consider dear friends. Friends that have kept me functioning, if barely, since I lost her. Left to my own devices I don't know that I would still be here at all.
Three years ago, my wife Maria was making her normal commute on the freeway, driving in the middle lane, with semi-trailers on either side. The front wheel came off the tractor on the passenger side of her car, and the tractor immediately slammed into her car. In less than a second my wife died, crushed between the two trucks. Her amazing beauty destroyed, and her life taken instantly. I didn't find out until hours after the accident. I never saw her face again.
We'd been married for ten wonderful years and were ecstatically happy when she died. She'd been my partner in creating my architectural engineering firm and had guided my hand in selecting the right people. That core group of people ended up being much more than employees and spouses. They ended up being our great friends, all thanks to Maria. Maria was the glue that initially bonded us together. She saw the connections between all of us and helped us to see them as well. She completed me, and now I was lost without her.
The knock on my door frame brought my focus back to the here and now. I looked up and was a bit puzzled. Mia was standing at my door. That, in and of itself, wasn't unusual. Mia is one of the engineer partners in my firm. The thing that puzzled me was that her husband Jack was standing right behind her. Her response to my puzzlement was to smile warmly, "John, please come to the conference room."
Now I was really puzzled, but rather than ask a bunch of questions that would soon answer themselves, I got up and followed her to the main conference room. I walked in, aimed toward my normal seat, and stopped dead in my tracks. My friends were all there. I got myself back in motion and sat down at the head of the table. I looked to my left and sitting next to me was Olivia, engineering savant, and my right hand. Next to her was her husband, Chet. Noah, another partner, sat next to Chet, and beside Noah was his wife, Ava. Jack sat next to Ava with Mia to his left. The remaining partner, Owen, sat next to Mia, while his wife Sofia, sat on my right. Confusing enough? Wait, there's more.
Before I talk about my friends there is a little background information that will help. This core group of co-workers and spouses had been friends to Maria and me for nearly ten years before she died. Maria and I had a fun sex life that wasn't above fantasizing about our friends. They never knew, and nothing ever came of it. As I remember, we both did a fair amount of cumming. I suspect that if Maria had lived, we probably would have explored those fantasies with our friends by now, assuming they were interested.
It has been more than three years since I last had sex, or any desire to have sex. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate beauty. I don't have the will to do anything more than appreciate it, and I don't know that I ever will again. The fantasies Maria and I shared are still vivid in my mind, partly because of the fantasies themselves, and partly because of the person I was sharing them with. Those fantasies forever changed the way I viewed my women friends, and I think that was something that Maria meant to happen. I'm absolutely sure she would laugh her ass off if she knew how I describe our women friends.
Take Olivia to my left for example. She is a brilliant engineer and an awesome partner. She also takes it upon herself to keep me organized. I don't do meetings without her next to me. She is the most irreplaceable person in our firm. She is also somewhat shy and reserved, although she does have a wicked sense of humor. She prefers being in the background providing sage advice, rather than being the center of attention. If the talk got risquΓ© at one of our parties, she would gradually disengage from the conversation and try to meander off. We all knew to watch for that and would tease her when we caught her at it.
Olivia is also very beautiful. She hides her charms well in her business attire, but I have seen her in a bikini. She's two inches shorter than me at 5'7" with long brown hair framing a face of classic beauty. Her big brown eyes seem to express all those emotions she is trying so hard to suppress. Her lithe body is perfection. Pert c-cup tits, an amazing ass, long legs, and nipples that stand out proudly, make an enticing package. Maria and I used to speculate about whether Olivia got wild in bed or not. I suspected that if she didn't, she at least wanted to. It would be a waste if she didn't. She was too damn sexy to be a prude.
Olivia's husband Chet is just a super nice guy. He's a lanky 6' tall accountant and we all love his easy-going way. I don't remember ever seeing him angry about anything. At the moment he was twiddling with a pen, trying, and failing to hide his nervousness. My puzzlement grew.
Noah was about as far from your stereotypical engineering nerd with pocket protector as a person could get. He has the engineering brain without a doubt. His looks don't fit the mold at all. Standing at 6'2" the broad-shouldered black man is extremely fit, and he looks like a linebacker. His pleasant baritone voice was nearly always kind. He knows that he's found his calling in life and is a consistently happy person.
Then there is Noah's wife, Ava. Maria and I talked about her a lot. Both of us found her exotic beauty almost irresistible. Her chocolate skin looked so velvety soft and touchable. I had caught myself many times over the years, pulling my hand back, as I reached out to touch her. It was a subconscious thing that Maria assured me she had felt herself. Ava is my height with amazing 38C tits, narrow waist, and a phenomenal ass. Her bright green eyes are absolutely hypnotic. She is a very sexy woman.
Mia's husband Jack is the perfect yin to her yang. Jack is a laid-back guy and he is used to letting Mia be Mia. He's pretty much an average guy standing at 6' with brown hair and eyes. He's not bad looking, but he's not really handsome either. He lets Mia shine and is more than happy to sit in the background while she does.
On one occasion we had a drunken pool party and Mia was pretty wasted. She threw her arms around my neck and tried to kiss me. Jack just tapped her on the shoulder, "Mia, did you ask Maria for permission to kiss her husband?" Chastised, she let me go and made a beeline for my wife. I heard Maria laugh as Mia ran back over and gave me a slobbery exaggerated kiss on the mouth. She then turned and grinned at her husband.
Mia is a force of nature. You never have to wonder what she is thinking or what her opinion is. She's feisty as hell, and I'm willing to bet a real wildcat in bed. She's a bit of a munchkin at 5'4" with dark brown hair and hazel eyes that are full of mischief. Her 34b tits are perfectly shaped and fit her petite body in counterpoint to her cute little ass.
Owen is a bit of a playboy wannabe. He doesn't hesitate to ogle women in front of his wife Sofia. To my knowledge though, he has never once hit on any of our women friends. He's a really good sales engineer and has brought a lot of business our way. I would like to see him be more respectful of his wife, but they have their own dynamic. Who am I to judge?
