Jamie got into her car and realized she had left her panties in the office. There was no way she was going back there and besides they were under Nick's desk, hopefully he wouldn't realize it. He had blackmailed her into rubbing her pussy for him by threatening the only thing she ever cared about – Steve. He knew that was her one weakness, her personal Kryptonite. He knew she would do anything to protect the man she loved, and he had used that knowledge against her.
No, she wouldn't risk going back now. Monday morning she would go in early and get them back. She couldn't just forget them, they were her favorite pair, and they were very expensive. More importantly, they were the ones that Steve had bought for her when they were in France last spring, and he was sure to miss them sooner or later. But more pressing right now was how to slip a pair on first thing when she got home, before Steve noticed.
For now she was too shaken up to head directly home, and Steve would surely notice her mood. She figured that a drive would help calm her down. She drove for more than 45 minutes trying to figure out what to tell Steve before finally deciding to go home to face him. She hoped Steve would be out and she could go upstairs and change unnoticed; but to her dismay his Saab was still in the driveway.
"Shit" she muttered to herself. "Maybe I can get in from the back door", she thought to herself. But that thought quickly vanished as the front door opened and her husband stood there waiting for her. Jamie started to panic.
"Hi honey" she said quietly as she gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
He knew immediately that something was wrong; Jamie never entered the house without an embrace and kiss on the mouth when she returned home.
"Did you have a nice day at work sweetheart?"
Her mind was racing, trying to decipher his mood; did his tone seem almost accusatory, or was it maybe just her imagination working overtime.
"Umm… it was ok, I was there all alone".
She made her way past him and up the stairs. He followed.
"No one else was at the office?" He asked.
"Ummm no, only me, alone" She again lied.
It was killing her to be dishonest with him; their entire marriage was based on trust. But Jamie was afraid that he wouldn't believe her, and she would lose him. And she would rather die than to lose him, she rationalized; and besides, she did it all for him.
"By the way, baby, Nick came by", Steve said casually.
Her stomach dropped to her feet, and she froze. Oh my God, could he have told Steve what she did? Was that even possible, after what he did? She stopped before she entered the bedroom without turning around to look at him.
"Oh? And what did he want?" Her voice cracked and she continued into the bedroom.
"He came to drop off something you forgot at the office".
"Something that I forgot at the office? Like paperwork or something? Ummm when?" She was struggling to sound conversational. "Just stay calm", she kept repeating to herself
"Today of course" he tested.
"Ohhh… I'm sorry baby, I didn't know he wanted me to deliver anything to you."
"But you did see Nick though." He pressed her.
"Oh, now that you mention it, he was there… but only for a few minutes." Jamie could feel her face burning, and she turned away from him. Steve could always tell when his wife was lying; She was horrible at it.
"And you leave something in his office?" Jamie still couldn't tell what steve was getting at; did he know or didn't he? Part of her wanted to confess to him, and warn him about Nick; but she was too afraid.
"Ummm of course not baby. What could I possibly forget?" She tried to keep her voice upbeat as she went into her walk in closet looking for something to wear. She had hoped he would just drop it and leave the room.
"Honey, I'm going to jump in the shower and rinse off. I just want to get out of these clothes", she said heading from the dressing room toward the master bathroom.
"Then you should do exactly that." he said. "Why don't you let me watch you undress… you know how much we both enjoy that" She felt he was practically demanding that she do it in front of him. Was he?
"Let me rinse off, then I'll put on something nice for you baby." She tried to put him off with a promise of potential sex, a tactic she knew she could usually count on.
"Good idea… maybe you should wear these" he said casually, as he dropped her panties onto the bed.
Jamie was horrified at the sight of her fine French panties, now rolled down and crumbled into a ball. Still, she bluffed "ummm no that's ok, baby. Where did you get those from… the hamper?" She knew it was feeble, but she was fighting the panic that was building inside her.
"Well, no baby… apparently they're yours" he challenged. "Nick said you forgot them in his office."
"What?? Why would he say such a thing? Those aren't mine honey. What a joker he is!" She tried laughing it off, but she knew that Steve could see right through her game.
"Of course they are, baby. Remember? I watched you put them on this morning, and you modeled them for me. So unless you're wearing an identical pair under that skirt, we may have a small problem here."
"Honey, they aren't mine." She knew this was a losing battle but she continued to deny it anyway.
She watched as Steve lifted the tiny panties to his nose, and inhaled deeply. God he loved the aroma of his wife's sweet pussy, but he didn't take the time to savor it now.
"They even smell like your pussy, and I certainly know what my wife smells like" he insisted, his eyes fixed on hers, unblinking, looking her straight in the eyes.
She knew he knew. She trembled at the knowledge that she was caught; her mind raced as she was trying to sort out her options; she could confess everything, and explain why she did it. Steve might understand. Or she could continue to deny everything, to continue to lie to the man she loved. She heard his voice as if it were a million miles away.
"Show me Jamie!" his voice said, softly, but firmly.
Her head was spinning, and she felt the walls closing in on her. She could feel her heartbeat in her ears.
"Baby, please don't make me." She was now on the verge of tears.
He was uncharacteristically merciless to her.
