The disaster of the year began after my friend Marcus shot his big mouth off at a bar. That's about as simple as I can say it. Probably an innocuous comment, one that led to another and another and pretty soon there was a disaster at hand.
Permit me to explain.
I'm a relatively normal guy, married 13 years to the wonderful Vicky, with a good job, nice house in the 'burbs and a basic, normal, decent, quiet, lifestyle. Our big night on the town was a dinner and movie and maybe a little thighs slapping action when we got home. Not always, but not too little either.
We enjoyed sex even after 13 years of marriage and two plus courting years when we when at it like rabbits.
Vicky was a pure Catholic girl, having been a virgin when I took her to of all places the Family Drive-In. The "Family" was a passion pit, one of the last remaining ones around I believe. It was closing for good that month back in late 1996 and I convinced Vicky to give it a send off party.
Sex wasn't on the agenda, just two movies and an endless makeout session but one thing led to another and, well, I had condom, and she was in the mood and right there in the back seat of the Honda Accord I took my Vicky's precious virginity. Ironically, it was the first time I'd gotten into her panties, as while she was generous in her hand jobs while we were dating I'd never even returned the favor between her lovely legs.
It was cramped in the car, yet awesome. It was cluttered but perfect.
So what was the disaster that night in the bar earlier this year? It was innocent enough. Marcus was back from Iraq, one of the last guys there, and several of us got together to celebrate his return. There were about 8 of us, five guys and three ladies, and we had a very nice dinner and libations.
Angie and Adam were the designated drivers, soft drinkers both, and we didn't have to worry about driving, so it was a casual, nice night.
One guy, Jack, turned the conversation to Angie and Adam and Vicky and I, asking what made our marriages so successful when many of our friends were breaking up. Each couple gave its response, mostly centering on listening to each other, caring and a little luck.
The banter was liquor induced of course, which can bring disastrous comments and consequences.
Marcus brought up the fact that I'd kept "it" in my pants for so long after the wedding day, since I'd been such a horn dog while we'd been hanging out. Everyone laughed including Vicky, and someone said that my lovely wife must be quite the sexy mama who was tantalizing in the sack.
Of course I laughed and pulled Vicky close, kissing her. While I was kissing her I reached back and slipped my hand down her pants, under her panties right onto her ass. The guys whistled, and the girls laughed that she was such a slut and that we ought to get a room.
We all laughed. It was all in jest. We'd shown off a little in public before, those displays of affection that later are remembered when making love.
Innocent and fun, nothing out of the ordinary.
But later that night, when I excused myself to the rest room, Marcus must have drunkedly said something about a couple of the girls I'd bedded in the "old days". When I returned to the table, nothing seemed different but I know Vicky had a sort of strange look on her face.
The night went on, ended, and that night Vicky and I returned home and had, well, very satisfying sex. She was a tigress that night, even getting on top and riding me. That's something she hardly ever did.
It wasn't until the morning over coffee when Vicky dropped the bombshell and opened the door. "So, Rob, what's this about all those girls..."
"Honey what do you mean?"
She said the girls I'd bedded before meeting, or maybe even while we were dating.
Of course she knew I hadn't been a virgin. I revealed back then that she wasn't the first, in fact there had been several others. Pam, for one, and Courtney. Angelique. Susan and Mary Claire. I'd even mentioned which ones had sucked my cock and how often. In the back of my mind I remembered that's when Vicky started allowing me to fondle her breasts on every date, and how the hand jobs started the night of the first revelation.
I reminded her of all that conversation, and how much I loved her. How we were wonderful together and how I never met a woman so perfect.
"But Marcus said you were seeing a girl, a Flossie, who was a real slut. And you were seeing her after we got together. And there was your "go-to" slut, Missy. He said she was known as a blow job queen and that she loved sucking you off...and did so in front of the guys at your bachelor party. He assumed I knew, I don't think he was lying. So give it up, how about Flossie and Missy and every other girl whose name ended in "Y" or "IE" you never told me about.
At first I thought Vicky was more interested than mad. But the more time passed I realized she was more pissed off at me than interested. The more we spoke the bigger hole I dug.
"And how about after our wedding? There were some times you'd be away on business....so what kind of business was it. Humping a slut business? Giving Missy the sausage? Giving Flossie the banana? What gives?" said my wife, who then stood, slapped me, and strode upstairs and locked the bedroom door.
My first thought was what the hell was going on, I'd only been to the bathroom, for crying out loud. But then I remembered seeing a couple friends from work and having a beer with them at the bar. Vicky saw me talking, and she was in conversation with Marcus, so I didn't see any harm until today.
They must have had one hell of a conversation.
I did what I had to do. I went upstairs and confessed the reams of stories to my lovely wife. I apologized for not telling her of my behavior, but said that since we'd tied the knot I'd been faithful.
Telling her about Flossie was hard, as the girl and I often had sex later the night after Vicky and I'd been on a date. I could see the hurt in my lovely wife's eyes as the story was told. But I thought, well, to tell her everything and let the chips fall where they did.
She asked where we'd "fuck", as she called it. I said in my car sometimes, but usually on a blanket on a dark pathway about three blocks from her house. Late at night there weren't people walking, and we'd get it on quickly. Once we were actually caught in the act, and it was embarrassing, but we didn't stop. Several times a week I'd screw Flossie on that path.
"When was the last time?"
I thought, and then related it was two nights before our wedding day. Once in her room with the parents out of the house, and once that same night on the path.
"You are a bastard."
"Honey, that was then, it was nothing."
My wife mumbled something about fucking not being nothing.
"Okay, now anything else about her you neglected to say? And what about Missy?"
Telling the story about how Flossie and I met by chance after my wedding and made it perfectly clear her legs were available to open if I needed. She actually pointed to a yellow hazard sign on the street: "Slippery When Wet". "I'm available if you need me baby," said Flossie that day. I told her I'd think about it, but never took her up on it.
I'm not sure if Vicky believed me, but I was as honest as could be.
As for Missy, well, that was a lot tougher. I'd snuck around with her for about six months prior to my marriage. She was married, her husband a jerk, and she worked with me. It was the perfect storm, and we began screwing about three months before the wedding day.
The first time was in the training room at the office, after all had left for the day of course. We graduated to doing the nasty on my boss' desk, good old Mr. Lynch. He was a curmudgeon of a man, a plain pain in the ass.
Missy had a hunger for sex. She said her husband was sleeping around, and what was good for the goose was perfect for the gander. There was hardly ever a day that went past that we didn't cavort in some way. Her favorite was slipping into the parking garage for sandwiches at lunch time. Desert was my cock. She'd blow me several times a week in that garage, heading back into work with a tummy full of cum.
We'd have this thing. We'd catch eyes in the afternoon, and I'd wipe the side of my face, as if to show her she'd forgotten to wipe off any residue cum sauce. She's fake surprise, but would look around and lick her lips. All I know is that I'd work extra hours on projects to stay around after work with her.
One night, after sucking me while sitting in Mr. Lynch's chair she arose and bent over the desk. She looked back at me, smiled, and lifted her skirt and then made a production of slipping down her wispy blue panties.
