Dear reader. This is another light hearted story of betrayal that wonât stand up too long to an intense reality check. Warning: It contains undeveloped characters that some people may not be able to identify with. It contains no backstory, or as I like to call it, padding. It will leave the hardcore BTBers hungry, the RAAC adherents starving and the lovers of appropriate justice smiling, I hope. Please comment on whether you think this paragraph spoiled the story. I hate wasting peopleâs time.
In this one, I have gone to the effort of inventing a new way the cheating is exposed. Once again, if my research has been remiss, I apologise.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was home alone and feeling sorry for myself, taking my enforced idleness pretty badly. Time for a change of tactics, from trying to get my job back to recouping my reputation.
You see, I used to be a project manager until six weeks ago. Iâd once described my job to my wife as juggling 500 balls at the same time and arranging for them all to hit the ground at precisely the same time. After 20 years Iâd finally got into some big projects and some big money. After paying the kids college fees and for my wifeâs extravagant lifestyle, the money would be handy, if I didnât want to die of old age on the job. We didnât have much in the bank and with no income coming in, it was getting bleak.
Yes, I felt sorry for myself. The last project went badly wrong when the main contract company went belly up. Iâd had a friend, still within the company, get the minutes of the board meeting, where Iâd urged them not to go for the cheapest tenderer, but they were no help. Given a choice of me or them, the board must have pressured the minutesâ secretary to doctor them.
I was home alone as my wife of 20 years, Sandra, had gone to her sisterâs for the fifth Friday night in a row. Sheâd asked me if I wanted to go, but as usual, I declined. Why would I want to help her sister plan her 15th anniversary? Sure her sister was fine, but that arrogant prick of a husband of hers, I couldnât stand. He owned a small but successful manufacturing company that heâd started with his wifeâs inheritance. Fuck, if he told me once more that it was worth $12M, I would strangle the little toad.
My self-inflicted exile was interrupted at 9.10PM by the doorbell. After three Bourbons I was a little confused when I opened the door. There was my wife as she looked 10 years ago. I smiled as I realised it was Linda, Sandraâs kid sister. Now it was obvious. Slightly shorter, quite a bit prettier and with significantly bigger boobs. I welcomed her in and offered coffee or tea. We exchanged small talk for a while.
âWhat gives Linda? I thought Sandra was visiting you and Neil, planning your anniversary?â
I didnât miss Lindaâs momentary look of confusion.
âOur anniversary was four weeks ago Dave.â
Now it was my turn to be confused. Bourbon has many fine uses, but increasing your mental acuity isnât one of them. Rather than make a complete dick of myself, I kept silent. Linda obviously had things on her mind.
âLook, I know you didnât want Neil or I to mention anything to you, I guess I can understand you would find it a bit embarrassing, but I just wanted to thank you for your and Sandraâs gift personally. Itâs the most generous, thoughtful present I can imagine and we are very grateful.â
I relegated my previous thoughts to the âslightly bemusedâ category. Now I WAS confused.
âWhat are you talking about Linda?â
âWell, if you want to play the denial game, I can play along. Iâm not sure exactly what Sandra has told you. Gosh, itâs a bit embarrassing.â
She paused to compose herself, obviously not prepared for my reactions so far.
âAs Iâm sure Sandra told youâŚIâm frigid. I have never enjoyed sex. Sure, I do my wifely duty for Neil once a week, if I have to, but I hate it. Consequently, Neil has been saying that all the romance has gone from our marriage and he must be right, we havenât been out together for ages. Not only that, we have been unable to conceive a child. Frankly, weâve been lucky to make it this far. Thatâs why your and Sandraâs gift has meant so much to Neil and I. I just wanted to thank you personally. Iâm really envious Dave. You must have a really strong marriage if you trust Linda this much.â
I donât know if she caught my totally dumbfounded facial expression but if she did, it didnât stop her giving me a light kiss on the lips.
âThanks Dave, youâre a gem.â
âWhat the fuck is going on Linda. Where is Sandra?â
âWhy, sheâs out on a date with Neil silly.â
My sudden look of stricken anger must have finally got through to my smiling sister in law.â
âI repeat Linda, what the fuck is going on?â
âWell Linda said it was your idea. Your and her gift for our anniversary. 10 dates with Neil over 10 weeks. Neil gets 10 weeks of romance and I get 10 weeks of not being pestered. Sandra said you agreed that it would spice up your flagging sex life. Knowing she was out on a date with another man would trigger your competitive instinct. From what she tells me, youâve done all right over the last four weeks from her, you know, in the bedroom.â
She stopped. I donât know what look was on my face, but it was enough that Linda saw that something was spectacularly wrong. Finally I regained the mental faculty to hiss.
âSandra and I havenât made love in over six weeks. Are you telling me she is out on a date now? Fuck they could be booking into a motel as we speak.â
âNo silly, I always insist that they come back to our house for sex.â
âWHAT! You mean theyâve already done it?â
âYes, they had sex after the first date. Surely Dave, you knew that was the deal? Please tell me you did.â
They do say a picture paints a thousand words. This picture was me walking over to the nearest wall and punching my fist right through the plasterboard. Linda was dumbstruck, but recovered while I was rubbing my hand.
âShit Dave, I canât believe Sandra would play Neil and I like that. You really didnât have a clue did you?â Her eyes hardened suddenly. âWeâve got to stop her.â
I was streets ahead of her. I hit speed dial on my phone. Sandra answered on the sixth ring, sounding out of breath.
âYou cheating bitch. You come home right now so we can sort this out. Linda has told me all about what youâve been up to.â
âNo can do Dave, Iâm in the middle of something at the moment.â
âYes, youâre in the middle of fucking our marriage away. Youâve been nagging me since the kids left home to let you stray. Well the answer was no then and itâs still fucking no now. Just because you have found some candy-assed way of justifying it to yourself doesnât make it right.â
âNo Dave. Look, Iâm sorry you had to find out this way but Iâve given Neil and Linda my promise and youâve always told me I should back up my promises. In another five weeks it will all be over and we can go back to normal. If itâs a problem, then maybe I can ask them if they can release me from my bond, but it will be up to them.â
âI canât fucking believe this, get home right now!â
âNo Dave. A promise is a promise. Anyway you donât own me, I can do what I like.â The call then disconnected.
âQuick Linda, weâve got to get over to your place. Iâve got to stop this shit. You drive, Iâm over the limit.â
By the time we got there, the house was empty. Signs of a hasty departure were everywhere. Linda looked almost as sad as I felt.
âIâve got an idea, Iâll ring Neil and tell him what sheâs up to. No way will he keep going if he knows you didnât approve,â
Both their phones went straight to message bank for the next few hours. At about 2AM I went home. Linda was as devastated as I was by her complicity in my betrayal. I made her promise
to tell her husband that he didnât have my blessing to screw my wife and to make it clear that she was withdrawing her blessing. The deal was definitely off.
By lunchtime Sunday neither Linda nor I had heard from our spouses. Neither were they answering their phones. That left me plenty of time to ponder. Shit, what else could I do, sleep was out of the question. Where had our marriage gone off the rails? As far as I knew we enjoyed a normal, healthy union. Nothing at all to indicate it was heading towards this train wreck.
By Sunday afternoon, I realised that by waiting at home, like a supplicant, I was making myself feel powerless. I packed a couple of bags and moved to a motel.
I heard nothing from anyone till Monday afternoon, when Linda rang.
âDave, Neil came back last night. I asked him where heâd been and he said that after you rang Sandra on Friday night, they moved to a motel. Dave, Neil heard everything when you rang. He knew already that you werenât in on the plan. I asked him why heâd done it and he saidâŚâ She paused and sobbed for a while, âHe said I was such a dead root that he wasnât going to give up the chance of a quality piece of ass like Sandra. Oh Dave it was so hurtful. I made him promise not to see Sandra again though. I recorded the conversation on my phone in case you didnât believe me.â
âOf course I believe you Linda. Save the recording anyway, it may come in handy.â
âI also went to see Sandra today. She was nasty as well; said that if Iâd been a proper woman I would have been able to keep my husband under control. That bitch has always bullied me. I asked her if sheâd spoken to you and she said she was going to wait until you got over your hissy fit and crawled home. Dave sheâs going to bluff you out. Iâm so upset and embarrassed about everything, I donât know what to do.â
âDonât do anything Linda. Iâm seeing a lawyer tomorrow, maybe after that things might be clearer.â
Well, I have to say, the lawyer visit wasnât encouraging. Sandra would get half of everything we owned. The only gem I got from him was right at the end. I didnât understand what he was trying to say at first. He explained that the only time heâd seen the guy come out better than even in cases such as mine, was when the husband had got some juicy videos to threaten the wife with. He then quite pointedly asked if Sandraâs parents were still alive and whether she attended church at all, while waggling his eyebrows at me. What a great guy.
Wednesday I snuck into my old house and set up cameras in the bedroom and lounge. They transmitted to a hard drive that I hid in the basement. According to the guy in the shop, I would only have to change batteries and download the hard drive every 4-5 days, depending on usage.
That night Sandra finally deigned to send me a text asking when I was coming home. I replied that Iâd left town for a few weeks. Youâre much more likely to catch a mouse if it thinks the cat is away. I was starting to feel that Sandra didnât give a shit about our marriage. I knew I no longer did. I kept in contact with Linda. On Friday night she rang me to say that Neil hadnât come home. I offered to pick her up and we went out to dinner. They do say that misery craves company.
We managed to distract each other and actually enjoyed an okay time. On the way back to her place I told her about the cameras Iâd set up, but swore her to secrecy. I asked her what she would do if she could prove Neil was cheating on her. She said probably nothing. I thought that if I could rub Neilâs infidelity in her face she may harden up and consider divorce. That was the only way I could see of getting back at the fucker besides smashing his face in. So I drove past my place and sure enough there was his car in my driveway. Linda cried all the way home and ran straight from the car to her house. I followed her in, tucked her in bed and held her until sheâd cried herself to sleep.
I impatiently awaited Monday, which was the next safe time that I could retrieve the video footage.
Linda surprised me by ringing Saturday night. She wanted to go out with me again, to try to make Neil jealous. Iâd nothing to lose so I agreed. After dinner we went dancing and had a whale of a time. I took her home at 1.30AM. Before we got there Linda was getting worried that Neil may have used her absence to sneak back to Sandra but his car was at her place.
At 9AM Monday, I snuck into my old house and swapped hard drives and batteries. Still with no job, I was free all day to watch them. It was well after lunch that I worked up enough courage to look. It was all a bit of an academic exercise until this point. Now the evidence was right in my face. I found myself closing my eyes when the footage of them entering the bedroom came up. I realised Iâd misaligned the camera slightly. It was only catching their top halves, but the audio was good.
I opened my eyes again a remarkably short time later, after I vaguely registered his grunts of climax. When I looked at the scene, they were lying side by side talking. I listened. Then I excitedly rang Linda and suggested she got her ass round to my motel. She arrived within 20 minutes.
âLinda, you have got to see this.â
Linda grabbed a bottle of wine from the minibar while I fired up my laptop and started playback. I began when Sandra and Neil started their post-coital talking.
âWhen are you going to get that bimbo sister of mine served Neil? It would be great if we could have a spring wedding.â
âMy lawyer was going to file on Monday and get her served Tuesday or Wednesday lover. I donât want to delay too long. If she can get proof before then, Iâm screwed with the whole prenup thing.â
âDonât you feel a little sorry for the naĂŻve bitch?â
âNah. Thereâs only so long you can stay with a frigid bitch. Do you know what itâs like trying to stay excited when the other person just lies there looking like they hate every moment of it?â
Sandra gave a strange chuckle but said nothing.
âWhat about you Sandy? Donât you feel a little something for Dave?â
âI wish you hadnât asked that. Yes I do feel bad. Heâs been a great husband and father and heâs great in the sack. But itâs time to trade up. Heâs no longer going places and youâre already there darling. Fuck him, fuck them both.â
Linda was devastated. I wrapped her in my arms and stopped her pouring her third glass of wine. She sobbed for a long time. I knew how she felt. Iâd been there 10 days ago. She finally settled down.
âLinda, whatâs this prenup Neil talked about?â
âOh daddy made us sign it before we got married.â
âWhatâs in it Linda?â
âIt was daddy trying to protect my inheritance. If Neil cheats, then I get everything. I think we have a copy at home.â
âLinda, do you know what this all means?â
âWhat Dave?â
It means he is going to have you served either tomorrow or the next day, for irreconcilable differences. Heâs going to be asking you for half the house, half the bank accounts and half the company. How much money do you have in the bank?â
âLast time I checked, almost $2M.â
âPhoeee! Now how much do you want to fuck up his life Linda?â
âAs much as I possibly can Dave. What can you do?â
âWell it seems to me that if you countersue for adultery, using my video for evidence, then he walks away with his shirt and you become a very rich divorcee with a huge bank account, a lovely house and a $12M company. Would you like to do that Linda?â
With a smile bigger than a used car salesman, Linda laughed.
âAre the Kennedys gun-shy?â
âMarry me darling, marry me.â
After knowing me for so long, she saw the joke in this and laughed again. We hugged once more before the mood turned serious. Linda asked,
âAre you sure the video is good enough, have you watched it all?â
After I admitted that Iâd closed my eyes during the rude bits, Linda insisted we watched it together. She held my hand to help me through it.
As far as pornos went it was a wash-out. It showed my darling wife and Neil stripping themselves. With no attempt at foreplay, Neil took her straight missionary. The quality was good enough to see her scowl of discomfort. 43 year old ladies need warming up. With no finesse, he just started banging away. Sandra made all the right noises but her face remained neutral. I almost choked when, about a minute and a half in, she actually looked at her watch behind his back.
I paused the video.
âLinda, is that a typical technique for Neil?â
âUh huh.â
âIâm going to make a guess that you were a virgin when you married. Am I right?â
âOf course I was Dave.â
âAt the risk of sounding personal Lin, how long is Neilâs, you know, his equipment?â
âAbout this big Dave,â she indicated with thumb and forefinger.
âNo, I mean when itâs hard Linda.â
âThat is when itâs hard Dave.â
I couldnât stop laughing.
âWell Lin, I think Iâve solved another of your problems. With no foreplay, a technique like his and a dick that small, no wonder you donât enjoy sex. You see Linda, I donât think youâre frigid at all.â
âThat would be fantastic Dave. Can I go to a doctor and do some tests or something?â
I stood and drew her into my arms. I breathed in her ear.
âLet Doctor Dave see what he can find.â
Lindaâs moans started 30 seconds later, as I was kissing her neck. They only stopped 45 minutes later, when the screaming started. 45 minutes that included undressing her and licking every part of her gorgeous body. She was a little nervous still, when I kissed her sex, but that soon changed. After her first oral orgasm, I tried to move things along a bit, but she was having none of that. With insistent hands, she kept my head there for round two.
When she fell into an exhausted, but satisfied sleep, I slipped out to get us some lunch. When I returned Linda was just getting out of the shower. She had a very nervous look on her face. That soon vanished when I kissed her deeply and for a very long time. This time I resisted her hands pushing my head and made love to her like it should be. I donât claim to be Casanova with a huge endowment, but she didnât seem to have any complaints. We spent the rest of that day and night, kissing, loving and talking.
The next day, Linda sought and obtained an emergency meeting with her lawyer. Armed with my video and two testimonials, he started the ball rolling.
That afternoon and night, Linda and I spent playing Scrabble. Honestly guys, what did you think we were doing? Linda was on a mission to make up for lost time. I learned that there were several positions that just didnât work. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldnât smother her screams with a pillow in some of them. Both our phones rang hot for the second evening in a row, but were ignored.
Wednesday morning, Linda called Neil and told him she would be at home all afternoon. Sure enough at 3.15PM there was a knock at the door. I opened it to reveal a youngish guy in a suit.
âPlease come in, weâve been expecting you. Linda is in the bathroom. Would you like a coffee?â
Slightly stunned, he agreed automatically and came in. I yelled, âLinda, the process server is here with your divorce papers.â
While waiting, we chatted. He seemed a nice enough guy. His name was Phil. Our coffees were half finished when Linda emerged. You know women and bathrooms. She strode over to Phil.
âYes, yes, yes Iâm Linda Winters. You have something I want.â
After Phil had done his official thing, we chatted again for a while. It turns out it was a bit of a shitty job but the pay was good. He refused a second cup and thanked us for making it such a unique experience. Bizarre but pleasant. Linda got one of his business cards. Resisting the urge for a laugh, we left the envelope unopened on the table when we left for the motel again.
I was waiting for Sandra when she got home from work that night. I used the opportunity to change out the hard drive and batteries. I shut down her half-arsed apologies and launched straight into showing her edited highlights of her home movie. She reacted with fury when I suggested that when she served me with divorce papers, theyâd better be bloody generous to me or the video would go very public. She threw me out. Her careful plan had left the rails and was thundering into the ravine.
The next day Linda, I and our new pal Phil were waiting for Neil when he got home. Phil enjoyed this one as well.
I stayed while Neil packed, always between him and Linda. I was itching for him to try something and he knew it. 65 minutes later, he was gone. 35 minutes later all the locks were changed. Bank and business accounts were already frozen.
Answering a call from Sandra at 9PM, I was slightly disconcerted by her friendly tone. She said she just wanted to apologise in person for the appalling way sheâd ended our marriage. For old timeâs sake I went home. There was no answer to my knocking, so I tried the door. It was unlocked.
I could hear Sandraâs screams of passion echoing down the stairs. Playing their game I walked up and looked into our bedroom. With relief I realised that I felt nothing but contempt for what I saw. After half a minute Sandra pretended to see me for the first time.
âArenât you going to miss this Dave? Donât worry about me, Iâve got a real man to satisfy me now.â
âDonât sweat it dear, thanks to pencil dick here, your sister is much tighter.â
Ignoring the foul language and hurled objects, I beat a hasty retreat wondering what that had all been about.
My first task of my new job the next day was to fire my predecessor. Having been started with her money, the company was in Lindaâs name. Neil should have known his company had a strict moral code. He wrote the bloody thing after all. Knowing absolutely nothing about manufacturing, I spent the morning talking to the senior staff and appointing an interim manager. I had their full support. Like many men with, âsmall dick syndromeâ, Neil wasnât a likeable character.
Iâd just finished the essentials when I was arrested. Assault on Sandra Brown and Neil Winters apparently. I had to admire the strategy and it explained what last night was all about. It was slightly embarrassing, being looked at as a wife beater in the police station. I bailed myself out that same afternoon using just about all the savings I had left in the bank. I was moderately surprised that Sandra hadnât cleaned it out already. The next day I was served with a restraining order against Sandra, Neil and my old house. It was valid for six months.
I moved in with Linda while the lawyers did their thing. The sex was mind blowing. Linda was on a mission to make up for lost time. With a stiff upper lip, I put up with the shame of extramarital sex. Weâd no interest in knowing anything about what the âhas-beensâ were up to, although we heard they were no longer together. Sandra may have been willing to put up with his small dick for a rich man, but not a pauper.
Lindaâs divorce and civil case came up first, three months later. Neil didnât try to fight the divorce, but of course fought the infidelity charge tooth and nail. He tried to claim that as the sex between he and Sandra was done with the complete consent of Linda, it didnât constitute adultery. Sandra and he testified to that. I, of course testified with Linda that weâd both asked them to stop when I found out and Linda discovered I wasnât a willing participant. I canât tell you how proud of Linda I was that day. She managed to get out the whole story of her apparent frigidity and later discovery that it was all due to Neilâs miniscule equipment and selfish technique, with her head held high. The press gallery, attracted as always by sexual scandal, lapped it up. The recording Linda had taken of her begging Neil to stop his affair tipped the balance of power and his petition was allotted to the scrap heap. With his integrity in tatters and his manhood smashed, Neil left town.
We didnât see either Neil or Sandra for another three months after that. Sandra smiled at me evilly from the witness box during my assault trial. She was very convincing and had a tear in her eye as she described me finding her in bed with Neil. She knew what she was doing was wrong, but surely she didnât deserve to be beaten for it. The judge told me off when I applauded her performance at the end.
Neil was slightly less convincing, as he described how he couldnât match my size and fury when I discovered him with my wife. I showed my respect for the judge this time and didnât clap.
The prosecution lawyer tried to object when my guy put the recorded footage from the lounge room hidden camera into evidence, explaining why it hadnât been handed over in the discovery process. My guy apologised to the judge and explained that Iâd been unable to retrieve the hard drive until yesterday as the restraining order was still in place. Actually, Linda grabbed it two days after I was arrested but my guy didnât know that.
I watched Sandra and Neilâs faces as they watched the drama unfold. This time Iâd got the camera placement just right. It plainly showed them plotting at the kitchen table, after Iâd gone. Theyâd been smart enough to remove the bedroom camera, but I donât know if they hadnât thought to look for others or just hadnât found it. After a lengthy discussion, the silent courtroom saw Neil wrap a towel around his hand and knock Sandra to the floor. Trooper that she is, she got up again and braced herself for round two. She used a frying pan on Neil with gusto. Shouldnât have gone first Neil.
The courtroom erupted and so I struggled to hear my case being dismissed and the judge yelling at the bailiff to arrest them. There are two crimes that judges hate. Contempt of court and perjury. They work hard to get where they are and those crimes call the court and by extension, themselves, into contempt. Sure, I could have released the video earlier and had them charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice or making false statements, but I didnât. Both Linda and I agreed that the shabby and contemptuous way weâd been treated deserved our best response.
By the time Iâd cleared my name with the waiting media, the police chief wanted a word. He apologised for my wrongful arrest. I forgave him immediately and we chatted for a few minutes. Just as we were finishing Sandra was released. She marched towards Linda with obvious malice of forethought. I stepped in between my ex-beloved and current beloved.
âSandra, you wouldnât hit a pregnant woman would you?â
Sandra stopped dead. Her face went several shades of extremely pissed, then she just turned away before we could see her tears.
Two months later I read in the paper that the happy couple had received the minimum sentence for perjury, 12 months in prison. Right, time to start that divorce and sell that house.
I reflected that Sandra had been right. Her dating Neil triggered a competitive instinct in me. Unfortunately, it wasnât the instinct to reclaim my mate through sex, but the baser instinct to kill and rend.
Two nights later, bathed in sweat Linda and I continued our running argument. We had continued our frenetic bedroom activities as Linda insisted she had 15 years of missed pleasure to make up for. By my calculations, I reckoned she was only eight years in arrears. She insisted it was still at least twelve. As I lay there stroking her bulging belly, we talked.
âIsnât it silly darling? If theyâd only done things properly, you know, asked us for divorces and then got together, things would be so different today. We would have been devastated I suppose but they would have been free and wealthy and having all the sex they could handle.â
âSomething tells me that Neil is getting all the sex he can handle. They do say that Bubba can be quite insistent. Now shut up and letâs try to get down to twelve years.â
âEight years, you insatiable bitch.â
Yesterday.
âWhat would you like to do for our 15th anniversary Dave?â
âNothing sweetie. Absolutely fucking nothing.â
The end
So you donât go out into the world with negative thoughts after my tale, there follows my traditional funny.
An 81 year old man and his 80 year old wife are sitting together on the couch after celebrating their 60th anniversary. The mood is nostalgic.
Wife: âDo you remember what you thought the first time you saw me?â
Husband: âYes, as clearly as if it was yesterday. I thought, âgee Iâd like to fuck her brains outâ.â
The wife is shocked but at the same time kind of thrilled that sheâd once elicited that sort of reaction.
Wife: âWhat did you think next?â
Husband: âI remember that one too, it was, âgee Iâd like to suck them tits dryâ.â
Again both shocked and proud the wife continues.
Wife: âAnd what do you think now?â
The husband looks over at his beloved wife. âI think I did a fucking good job.â
Please donât take offence at the above joke. I love women of all ages. Youâre all beautiful.
The author
your intro did not muck up anything. Loved the twist to the way to cheat and liked the 8-12 year difference line. Well done story
