This story is based on true events in the life of a happily married young coupe and a stranger who changes their life forever. Fate brought Ted and Katie into contact with "Reggie" Williams to help salvage their marriage.
My name is Ted Harrington and wife is named Katie. I am 38 and Katie is 36. I am 5'10" 170 lbs with light brown hair and Katie is 5'2" 108 lbs. green eyes and blonde hair. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. All of my male friends are quick to agree she is beautiful. Some have even been vocal about how great they thought she would be in bed. I always pretend to get angry when they say things like that, but inside I feel a sense of pride that other men find her so desirous. Besides, I am more than certain Katie would never cheat on me because she really didn't seem that preoccupied with sex. I have never seen her eyeing other men.
We live in a small city in Kansas and I own the local Volvo Dealership. I met Katie in the summer between her junior and senior year of high school. She had just turn 17 and I was 19, getting ready to start my freshman year of college. It was love at first site for both of us. We dated six month before we had our first sexual intercourse. Up until then we engaged in a lot of heavy kissing and sexual exploration. I played with her breast and vagina through her clothes. She rubbed and fondled my penis through my clothes. It later progressed to me sucking her breast and putting my finger in her vagina until she had an orgasm. She would jack me off until I ejaculated into a napkin. Katie was the first and only girl I had ever been intimate with.
After we had known each other for about 18 months we slipped away and got married. Our first child, Jason, was born nine months later. Approximately two years later Ella was born. Katie became a stay at home Mom and devoted all of her time to raising the children. We had a relatively normal sex life. We had sex a couple of times a week, but that soon began to decrease in frequency as the children got older. The sex was always good, but Katie was shy and neither one of us were really experienced and we never experimented with sex at all. We were content with the missionary position and on occasion we would try the doggy style. She would give me an occasional blowjob and I would lick her vagina. I hate to admit it, but I wasn't really familiar with the anatomy of the female vagina. I didn't know to spend any time stimulating the clitoris. I just stuck my tongue in and out of her vagina like it was my penis. Katie was too shy to tell me to do anything else. We had been married about 18 years when I noticed that Katie was becoming distant and seem to lose interest in sex altogether. I mentioned it to our pastor and he suggested we get away together and spend time rekindling our love life.
There was a dealership convention coming up in Los Angeles that would last about a week. I asked Katie to attend it with me. We decided to add another week and drive out to Los Angeles, taking our time and enjoying the sites along the way. We headed first to Denver, then south down to Durango. From there we made a stop at the Grand Canyon. We made it a point to travel the back roads in order to enjoy the scenery. Everything was going fine until we neared Death Valley, California. We had driven for miles without seeing anything but desert.
We were getting hungry when I saw a sign that said 'RESTAURANT AHEAD' and we decided to stop for lunch. Just fifty yards from the restaurant the engine started knocking. I looked at the dash panel and realized the engine had over heated. I threw the car in neutral and coasted the rest of the way. Luckily there was also a service station and a motel near the restaurant. I stopped at the service station. Smoke was pouring from under the hood. I got out of the car and raised the hood. While I examined under the hood, a tall black man approached and introduced himself as the owner of the service station. He told me that his name was Reginald Williams, but most everyone called him Reggie. I estimated his height to be about 6'2" or 6'3" and maybe 200 pounds. He was slender and muscular; probably a former football player. I told him I was Ted Harrington, and then introduced him to Katie. She shook his hand and blushed. Later I asked her why she blushed and she said that she really didn't know why. It was just an involuntary thing that happened. I figured that was true, because that's just how shy Katie is in reality.
Reggie determined that the problem was a busted heater hose, costing about $50, and it would take him about an hour to repair. Reggie told us that he also owned the restaurant and lunch was on him. He would come get us when the repairs were completed.
We had taken a booth in the back of the restaurant and enjoyed a nice leisurely lunch. When done, we just sat there and talked excitedly about the rest of the trip. We were so engrossed in our conversation that it surprised us when Reggie slid into the booth next to Katie. I noticed she blushed again and seem to be very uncomfortable around Reggie.
He said, "Folks I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that your car is repaired and ready for the road. The bad news is that the water pump also had to be replaced. Instead of costing $50 the cost is $493.85."
I told him that's no problem and slid my credit card across to him. Reggie informed us that credit cards were not acceptable for mechanical work; it had to be cash or check. Since we never carry checks, I pulled out my wallet and counted my cash. All I had was $196.00 cash. I suggested I have money wired through Western Union. Reggie told us that the nearest Western Union was over 100 miles away and he didn't have anyone he could send to pick it up. I looked over at Katie and she had a strange look on her face. She seem to be unusually nervous; it may have just been my imagination, but it looked like she was preoccupied with Reggie's crotch. I thought about that for a second then dismissed it because that would be totally out of character for Katie. Katie and I were totally speechless. I had no idea where I was going to get the money. My mind was completely blank; I couldn't think of a single option.
Reggie broke the silence with what he considered a solution.
"Well, we could always barter."
I thought for a moment and then it dawned on me what he was possibly suggesting.
"What do you mean barter? I have nothing to barter?"
Reggie looked over at Katie and then back at me. Katie blushed and then looked at me with a concerned look, then diverted her eye down. Reggie and I bickered back and forth, with me telling him there was no way I going allow my wife to be used that way. Reggie shrugged his shoulders and told me that it looked like we were stuck there in this out of the way place. He would not entertain the option of letting me mail a check. It was cash on delivery or no release of my vehicle. We were struck in a strange place with no other options.
Reggie also owned the motel and suggested we get a room because he couldn't release our car without us paying for the repairs. Reggie and I continued to bicker back and forth. The argument was becoming quite heated. It was beginning to look like it may come to blows, in which case I didn't have a chance of becoming the victor.
Katie broke in and said in a low, barely auditable voice said, "I'll do it."
The room seemed to fall silent. I could not believe what I had just heard from my shy little, sexually inexperienced wife. My first thought was that Katie had apparently misunderstood just what we were arguing about. I reached over and touched Katie's hand and said, "You don't know what you are agreeing to, Katie?"
She blushed, looked down at the table, nodded her head and said, "Yes I do. I'll do it, Honey. I'll do it. Now let's not argue and get it over with."
