REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION
I remember it like it happened yesterday, even though it was a few months ago.
We had put the kids to bed and were sitting in our bed, watching TV. My wife had been very quiet, which happened occasionally when something was on her mind.
She has a very busy life, looking after our two kids (15 and 12) while being a part-time real estate agent. Our two sons were old enough to take care of themselves so Trish could often devote unusual hours to her real estate gig. I was working long hours, as well, at my job with an engineering firm. We were both working hard, but things were going well, financially and with our family.
My wife had changed for bed and was wearing a typical nightgown for her. I never ceased to enjoy seeing her breasts jiggle under her thin gown. She often slept without panties. I noticed she was wearing them tonight and thought she must be near her period.
"How was your day?" I innocently asked during a TV commercial.
Trish paused before answering, "It was okay. You know."
I said, "Same old stuff. Have you had any luck with that new client?" I knew she had been showing houses to some guy who was moving with his family from the west coast somewhere.
She said, "We found a place that he likes." She said it without the usual enthusiasm she has when she's made a deal.
I looked at her and asked, "Are you feeling okay?"
She was quiet. I could tell something was on her mind.
Then she said, "Something happened."
I blithely asked, "Oh. What was that?"
Trish (Patricia) wouldn't look at me and was obviously upset. "You remember that client I was working with, the guy from San Francisco?"
"Sure. You told me about him. What was his name again?"
I barely remembered. Trish would often prattle on about her real estate work or what the kids had been doing. I listened as best I could, but sometimes I lost track of what she was saying. Like many women, Trish talked a lot. She wasn't looking for answers; it was therapeutic for her to talk to me after her hectic daily activities. I thought she was a really neat person.
She said, "Pearson, Edward Pearson."
"Yeah, what about him?" I remembered her talking about the guy, remarking on how good looking and how successful he was.
She paused, then looked at me. "We had sex today."
I didn't say anything, waiting for her to elaborate. I was stunned.
"It just happened. We found this really nice house that he liked and we were in the bedroom and he touched me and we ended up in the bed."
"Did he force you?" I was angry and concerned.
She paused again, then said, "No. I didn't initiate it, but I didn't resist." Then she meekly added, "I participated."
I was wrapping my head around what she had said when she looked at me with a frightened look in her eyes. "I'm so sorry." She said, then pleaded, "Please forgive me. I'm just a weak person and don't deserve you." She was near tears.
I loved this woman with all my heart and my initial reaction was to forgive her and comfort her, but I was also trying to grasp the realization of what she had said. She had cheated on me. I was shocked. I had never doubted her fidelity and immediately wondered if she was being drawn away by another man.
She said, "It was just a one-time thing." But then she added, "I think."
"Are you in love with this guy?"
She quickly said, pleading, "No. It's nothing like that. I love you. It was just a situation and everything happened so fast. I was so foolish."
Of course, I realized the significance of what she had done. Many men would've immediately gotten pissed-off and thrown her out. But I guess I was not so insecure to be threatened or demeaned by the thought of my wife straying. Of course, her fidelity was important, but we had much more than that. She meant everything to me. We had a nice family and our lives together were wonderful. I was far from perfect myself. I'd had drinking problem and had made a mistake myself one time. Forgiveness has to be part of a successful marriage.
Trish was very worried and was crying. "I'm so sorry. I wouldn't blame you if you threw me out. I'm just a slut."
Now, she was anything but a slut. I had taken her virginity when we were dating and she had never been with anyone but me. I gathered that she was impressed with this suave, successful man and fell prey to his advances. I put my arms around her to calm her.
"What happened?" I asked and she told me the whole story.
"This guy, Ed Pearson has been looking for a house. His business, one of those software companies, was relocating him to Cleveland to lead their local division. His wife and kids are still in San Francisco waiting for him to find a house. Their kids are in school and they plan to move in June after the school year."
I nodded, now listening closely.
"We've been looking at houses for over a week and hadn't found anything he liked, but then today we found THE house. It's a four-bedroom, with a view of the lake, on a nice piece of property. The schools are good and the neighborhood has a park and trails with lots of kids around. After looking at more than a dozen places, we were getting discouraged, but then we found it. The house has just come on the market; it was in his price range and he immediately liked it. The kitchen has recently been redone with lots of counter space and new appliances."
I asked the 'male' question. "Does it have a basement and a garage?"
"You'd love it. There's a shop area in the basement and a big yard. Rambo (our dog) would love the yard-lots of places to sniff and dozens of squirrels to chase." She paused, "They have a yellow lab, Ranger."
She even knew the name of the guy's dog.
She continued, speaking rapidly, "We looked at the place and I called the selling agent. Pearson was willing to meet their price and just like that, we had a deal. The other family was eager to sell and we already have the preliminary closing set for Friday."
It all sounded okay, but I asked her to "Tell me about this guy who fucked you?"
She made a face at me. She didn't like the word 'fuck', but it seemed to be the most appropriate term.
She told me about him, "He's a bit older than us and is very nice. I'd spent most of the week with him. We'd had lunch a few times and dinner one time. He would tell me about his family and such. I just found him to be intriguing and when he came on to me, I just melted. I'm so sorry."
I asked, "And I'm not intriguing?"
"You know what I mean. He was different. I've always been intrigued by you, but he was different and being away from all the activity in our lives was different."
I was getting the picture. The guy was suave and successful and Trish was taken by him after spending the week looking for a house for him and his family. One of the things she liked about her real estate gig was that it took her away from her normal existence, dealing with the kids and their issues, putting up with my moods, keeping the household running and such. Meeting other people with their own lives was interesting and the quest to find homes for them was challenging and rewarding. She often got to know a lot about her clients. Her commissions were helping us build a nice college fund for our kids.
She continued, "I had finished everything on the phone and found him upstairs in the bedroom, looking out the window and at the closets and such. The sellers still lived there, so the place was furnished. We were in the master bedroom. I was looking out the window when he came up behind me."
She was finally getting to the point.
"I was wearing that blue sleeveless dress that you like."
She had this dress that I thought made her look really sexy.
"He put his hands on my shoulders and when I didn't object, he caressed my neck. It felt good and I was elated at successfully finding a home for him and his family."
I listened intently.
"He unzipped my dress in the back. I should've stopped him, but in the moment, it felt so good. I was nervous and I just stood there as he pulled the zipper all the way down and unhooked my bra. It happened so fast that I didn't have time to think. Suddenly, my dress was on the floor and he was nibbling and kissing my neck and his hands were holding my tits. He put his tongue in my ear like you used to do and he pinched my nipples. You know I like that. He was doing everything right, just like you always did, and I was letting him continue."
I imagined the scene of this attractive man with his hands on my wife's breasts, tweaking her nipples and kissing her neck, things that she has always liked. I noticed that she mentioned things I did, not things I still do.
Trish went on, "I should've stopped him, but I wasn't thinking straight."
She said, "You know how you men have a thing about saying your little head takes over thinking from your big head, well we women are the same way. Once we get aroused, we only think about the pleasure and not the consequences. That's why women get seduced all the time. Their pussies take over their thinking."
I hadn't heard such a theory before, but it made sense. When we were dating, I remembered that once I got my hands on her tits, she lost all resistance and allowed me to continue with her full approval. Touching that little button between her legs would get her so hot that the only thing restraining how far we went was my reluctance to take advantage of her. I held-off from full intercourse until I was sure she wanted to do it, but once we started, she would be insatiable in bed. Of course, I was even hornier than she was. I would get so worked up screwing her that I didn't care if I got her pregnant or not. My instincts just took over and my cock did my thinking for me. A hard dick has no conscience.
I nodded to Trish, with a questioning look on my face, waiting for what was next.
She told me more. "I instinctively sat on the bed, like a I do with you."
It was true, and I knew what was coming next.
