Lisa admired herself in her hotel room's mirror. She knew she rocked the sexy business woman look. Her long dark hair in a bun, glasses over her big brown eyes and the tight skirt and blouse combination she wore over 4 inch strap back heels really showed her to her best. Of course, bicycling the hills and mountains around her home in Southern California certainly helped. She really wanted to surprise her husband, Hugh, with what she was wearing underneath, a sexy red lace bra that pushed her C-cups into wonderful cleavage (she made sure to unbutton one more button on her blouse), silk panties and thigh high stockings. Hugh would not be enjoying these sites tonight..
"An extra night in Colorado Springs." She thought as she sighed. "Wouldn't have been worth getting in on time anyway."
Lisa and Hugh had met in college, where they had basically double majored in business and working out. They had both shared a passion for exercise and competed in triathlons. Of course, training like that does not allow for eating junk food or drinking, so that left sex as a vice- well sex and marijuana to be precise. Hugh and Lisa had discovered a mutual passion for each other blossoming over the area of the university cafeteria where the athletes and gym rats hung out. Some of the sexual hijinks they got into became legend at the school - doing it on the provost's desk perhaps the best.
They lived together after college while Lisa learned the ropes in commercial real estate and while Hugh went to law school. The demands were such that neither could devote the training time they needed, so the cycled together every morning. Unfortunately the demands of Law review kept Hugh from the extended rides Lisa took into the mountains every weekend.
They married during the summer between Hugh's second and third years of law school. Hugh was clerking with a very prestigious firm and already had secured an offer for employment after graduation. They celebrated by honeymooning in Hawaii.
Then Hugh graduated and reality hit. At first Hugh began to neglect exercise and proper nutrition because of the bar exam, Lisa had thought. The bar exam is high stress after all, and all he does is study then order in.
Then he started with the firm and the real demands of billable hours kicked in. An easy week was 60 hours of work. Of course that meant no exercise and food ordered in from greasy spoons around his office. Now Lisa rode her bicycle alone.
She had urged him to quit, to move to a smaller firm or into a 9 to 5 corporate job, but he refused. He wanted to be partner. So they barely ever saw each other now. Lisa went to bed early so she could get her bicycle rides in every morning and Hugh usually dragged in after 11 PM, exhausted and often sleeping in the guest bedroom so as not to disturb her.
Of course sex had gone down to once per week, on weekends, if that, then to far less frequently in the past year. Hugh had gotten progressively more out of shape and overweight. She thought his cock even felt smaller, then read on a medical site how fat covers the shaft and makes it seem smaller. He had no energy and she had to move his stomach out of the way so he could penetrate her.
It had been three years since he had started studying for the bar and now Hugh was just plain huge - at least 100 pounds overweight. Their doctor urged him to lose weight and Lisa begged him to start riding again. But all of the passion and competitive energy that had made Hugh so much fun to be around when they fell in love was now focused on one thing, making partner. Everything else suffered, including his health, his waist line and his marriage.
Tonight was supposed to be special. Her birthday had been on Wednesday and she never would have expected Hugh to take the time on a weeknight. Instead, she had booked this business trip to Colorado Springs and closed a deal on leasing some major office space north of town. They had planned on making it up tonight. He was supposed to pick her up at the airport, then a nice dinner at a great little seafood place overlooking the Pacific, then sex as wild as they could make it (admittedly a low bar for Hugh these days).
She had gotten dressed that day anticipating the planned special night. She was just plain horny and had been wearing out the batteries of her vibrator lately. She really needed the real thing. She needed her husband to be just some of the sexual powerhouse he had been just a few years ago. She was trying to do everything in her power to help him get there.
The phone call had come while she was in the shuttle bus between the rental car drop off and the terminal. She recognized the tone of voice immediately and she was not about to scream obscenities at him in front of the strangers on the bus, but she really wanted to.
"Look I am soooo sorry honey." Hugh had pleaded. "but there's a snag in this IPO that is scheduled for Monday and I've got to get to New York. I'll make it up I swear."
"Hugh!" Lisa hissed into the phone. "It is my birthday. Can't someone else?"
"No, there is no one else." They practically said it together.
She was barely holding it together on the security line and the conversation she was overhearing in front of her didn't help. Two soldiers were chatting, not unexpected in a town with the military presence of Colorado Springs.
"Yeah man, I got the call this morning." One said to the other. "My mom had a stroke and well... fuck it, ya know... she ain't gonna make it."
"Oh Shit man. I don't know what to say." Replied the other.
"Yeah well they got me on fucking standby on this flight to Orange County. It is one of those small ones and I may not make it. Fuck! I gotta get home."
That would be Lisa's flight.
Lila made sure she stood on line behind the solider at the gate agent.
"I understand about your mother, solider and I'll do whatever I can to get you there, but right not everyone has checked in for this flight. I can't get you on board." Lisa heard the attendant saying.
She stepped closer, thinking, "I have nothing to go home to tonight, so what the fuck? I might as well be a nice person."
"Listen, can you get me on the 7 AM flight to Orange County tomorrow?" she said to the attendant. "He needs to get home and if I can get on that flight I'll give him my seat."
"Oh! Shit Lady! Thank you!" the solider exclaimed.
After much fuss, the attendant got her on first class on the morning flight. She had taken a cab to her hotel, instructing the driver to stop by a marijuana dispensary where she grabbed an edible and a disposable vape pen.
At the interstate's exit for her hotel she noticed on a sign...
"Did that say 'Families in Focus'?" She asked the driver.
"Yeah, they're headquartered right there. They have a nice view of Pikes Peak."
"Those are the right wing Christian folks, right?" Lisa asked using the politest euphemism she could think of for homophobic, right wing Neanderthals.
"Yup. Surprised you got a room here." The cabbie said. "They have a big conference going on this weekend and I thought everything was booked."
"Must have been a cancelation"
Lisa dumped her bag on the hotel bed, downed the edible and took a hit off the vape pen. She checked her makeup thinking she'd go down to the hotel bar and have a drink. It took an hour for an edible to work, after all. Once it kicked in, she come up and see how long fresh batteries in a vibrator would last and maybe stream some porn.
