Little White Lies

As I exited the bathroom, I noticed that Sunny was awake but not watching me. She had her arm over her eyes and she was breathing very rapidly. It was clear that she was working up to something. I pulled the covers back and climbed into bed. I turned my light out but hers was still on.

"This is not going to work Sean. You are treating me as if I had done something wrong but you have no evidence that I have done anything. I told you that I was sorry I lied but I was afraid that you would do exactly what you are doing right now. I knew you would do this so I tried to avoid it by telling you a little white lie. I didn't do anything wrong but you refuse to believe me."

I listened to what she was saying. She was right that I had no proof but I was not wrong in believing that she had done something. Her lies and her embarrassment were too extreme to explain dinner and a chaste kiss on the cheek. I just didn't know what else had happened or how I could find out. I waited for what she had next.

"If you can't treat me with dignity and respect as your wife, I will make it easy for you. I called my mother today and she offered to let me stay there with JJ for as long as it takes you to get over this nonsense."

I didn't respond since it caught me by surprise. I never expected her to do something like that. Guilty people are supposed to crack, not take the initiative.

"The choice is yours. Make up your mind. And if I stay, it will be as your wife, not as something to make your dinner and wash your laundry. I'm serious. Otherwise, I will pack and be gone by the time you get home tomorrow."

Damn! This was not in my plans. I had no choice. She had to stay for my plan to work. I couldn't cause her to feel any pain about me cheating if she wasn't here. Maybe I could negotiate?

"If I agree to your conditions, will you do something for me?"

"If it is something reasonable, yes." She turned to look at me for the first time.

"Will you make an appointment with Dr. Evans for a STD test?"

"No I will not, damn it! That is the same as saying I did something that I need to be tested for and I won't do it."

"Then stay as my wife, but don't expect me to have sex with you. I won't take the chance. Since you saw fit to lie to me about what you were doing and whom you were with, I told you that it was left to my imagination. My imagination says it doesn't want to get AIDS or something else."

"Then I'll pack tomorrow and JJ and I will be out by the time you come home. Goodnight Sean and goodbye!" She rolled over facing away from me without another word.

Damn, damn, damn! She wasn't going to buy it. I had no choice. I didn't really think there was anything to worry about but I had to take a shot.

"OK, you win. No conditions."

Sunny didn't say anything else. She turned out her light and continued to face away from me. I fell asleep feeling better for some reason.

Sean

On Tuesday, I had a good day at work. I was really making progress with my case and my mind was sharp as a tack, probably because I thought I had a plan and was going to take some action rather than sitting back as a victim. Nothing like a plan to a lawyer to make things better. In addition, I was looking forward to dinner that evening with Satin. A smooth name for a very smooth looking lady.

I called Sunny just after lunch to tell her I was going to be late. She wasn't happy but couldn't say much since we had the discussion about my working hours after her Thursday debacle. This was business, or so I told her. I said to expect me some time after 10:00. She hung up with a slam.

I always keep a spare shirt and tie at the office in case of dinners and late night meetings with clients so I changed before I left the office. I planned on being right on time and I made it with minutes to spare. I had on a dark blue suit that would go most anywhere and I looked like every other professional man. Nothing special but presentable.

Satin was waiting as promised just inside the entrance. She had on a beautiful light blue jacket over a white blouse cut very low. She wore a thin gold chain with a single blue stone. Her skirt was black and hit her just above the knee. Her heels were at least 3" and her legs were fabulous. She had her hair pulled back into a sweep, and long earrings with diamonds and blue stones set off her face. The overall picture was magnificent simplicity. Then she smiled as she saw me: I was completely blown away. She took my breath away just looking at her.

"Hello Satin. You look beautiful this evening. Have I kept you waiting?" I tried to regain my composure as I took her hand.

"Hello Sean. I just arrived. Thank you for the compliment. You look nice as well."

I smiled and signaled to Phyllis, the hostess whom I knew from many dinners here and she nodded. She led us to a nice table on the edge of the floor, out of the way of traffic and in site of the entrance so that I could see who came in. This was my normal table but tonight, not important. She seated us and left, signaling the wine steward.

Once dinner was in progress I found Satin to be a very proficient dinner companion. She could speak on almost any topic with intelligence and she responded in the appropriate manner to my comments. It was clear that she was very good at her job. We had been speaking in general terms about nothing in particular when she finally asked me the question that had been on her mind from the beginning.

"Now that we are here, why are we here? I know you want something from me but I don't know what, and that's not normal in my business."

"I intend to tell you, but I thought that we could enjoy a good meal and some good conversation first. You are a delightful companion and I have enjoyed your company. But you should know what I am doing and I will tell you."

I explained my suspicions about my wife and that I wanted to convince her that I was having an affair brought on by her lying. I told Satin that it was essential that I make it difficult for Sunny to find out but not so difficult that she missed the clues. I hoped that she would become so angry that she would confront me and confess her own infidelity to make me confess mine. As I explained this to Satin, I admit that it sounded just a little farfetched even to me. But I was surprised when Satin said she thought it to be a good plan.

"Do you really think it will do the trick?" I thought maybe she would be a good judge being a woman.

"If I were your wife, I would certainly be upset if I thought I had driven you into an affair. Most women would be concerned. You are a very handsome man and very successful and most women would consider you a good catch. With a new son and a lovely home, you have what all women want."

She said this with conviction and sincerity but I remembered who she was and took most of what she said with a grain of salt. But I hoped she was correct.

We finished dinner and we went into the lounge for some dancing. I wanted to hold her for several reasons. First, she was beautiful and had a great body. Second and more important, I wanted her perfume to be on my jacket and maybe a blond hair or two wouldn't hurt. She also made sure I had a little lipstick on my collar. All in all it was a very pleasant evening.

It was close to 9:45 when I called it an evening. I offered to take Satin home but she preferred me to call a cab, which I did. I walked her to the cab and she kissed me before she got in.

"Same time Friday night? We'll meet at Caesar's if that's acceptable."

"Perfect. I'll see you then. Goodnight Sean." With that I shut the cab door and she was gone. I felt slightly sad to see her go. I reminded myself that this was just business and she was a call girl, not someone I could get interested in. I walked to my car and drove home with mixed feelings.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I pulled into the garage and walked into the kitchen. The house was quiet and I assumed that Sunny had gone up to the bedroom to read and watch TV. She did this most nights when I went out for late dinners or meetings. That's why I was so surprised when I saw her walk into the kitchen from the den. She had obviously been waiting for me.

She just looked coldly at me and said, "Did you have a nice dinner?"

She didn't seem interested in my answer as she walked over to the counter to pour me a cup of coffee. I always had coffee after one of these meetings to counter the wine I normally drank. Tonight I had two mixed drinks rather than the wine and I was badly in need of caffeine.

"It was fine, but long as usual. I'm glad it's over. I do have to be there again Friday for another session but not till then. It was just the fellows and I."

That was an outright lie and one she should be able to see through if she was observant. I would not do anything to make her suspicious but I was hoping she would notice the perfume.

"Seems your fellows were wearing perfume tonight. You reek of musk and flowers. Something one of your 'fellows' was wearing?" she asked sarcastically.

"I don't know what you mean. We weren't with any women so where would I get perfume? Maybe it was something else, something on the chair or napkin. I don't know."

I took my coffee and went into the den. I left my jacket on the chair back in the kitchen. I noticed that Sunny didn't follow me right away so I assumed she was investigating my jacket. If she did, she would find a phone number on a piece of paper in the inside jacket pocket and maybe a few blond hairs? If she called that number, she would get no answer. It was a blind phone, used by drug dealers. One of my 'clients' had given it to me. It was manned only at certain times.

I sat down and waited till Sunny finally came in. She looked a little funny but didn't say anything more. I drank my coffee and asked her about her day. She said very little and finally told me she was going up to bed to read for a while. I told her I would be up in a little while.

I waited for a reasonable amount of time and then went up. I went directly into the bathroom and took off my shirt, balling it up and tossing it into the hamper. I hung up my pants and decided a shower might be appropriate. Not unusual for me and hadn't she done the same thing? I thought it a brilliant move on my part.

Later, when I came to bed, Sunny made no move to initiate sex and neither did I. I would wait until she made the first move. I was not sure what I would do but being human, I sort of knew. I finally turned out the light and went to sleep, satisfied that I had made at least an attempt to try to force the issue.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I was restless at work the next day and wanted to get home to see if my plan had begun to sow the seeds of suspicion in Sunny's mind. I was able to get some work done but left as soon as possible.

At home that evening, I noticed a very definite tenseness in Sunny's attitude. I wasn't sure but I assumed that she had found the lipstick on my shirt collar. If she did, she knew my story about last night was a lie. Now things were going to get interesting. I went into the den to read the paper and have a drink while waiting for dinner. JJ was still asleep but I thought that I might just get him up. I loved to have dinner with him in his highchair and he was always quite active when he ate. It would be something to keep my attention away from Sunny and occupy my mind rather than wondering what she was thinking. I told Sunny that I was going to get him but she didn't respond. She must really be stewing.

Dinner was a dichotomy with Sunny quiet and JJ noisy, Sunny moody and JJ happy, Sunny pushing her food around on the plate and JJ shoveling it in. I was very pleased with dinner that night. I ate a hearty meal and offered to help clean the table. Sunny just mumbled something and grabbed JJ from his chair and took him off to get cleaned up. I smiled to myself as I gathered the dishes from the table and took them into the kitchen. I was very pleased with myself.

It was close to 8:45 when I finally took JJ up to get him ready for bed. He was happy and tired and went right to sleep. I sat beside his bed and just watched him for a while. He was the best part of my world and the only part that I could believe in without reservation. As I thought that, I felt the sadness and uncertainty return. I had been without it for a short while. I went downstairs to deal with Sunny.

She was sitting in the den when I came down and sat in my chair. I said nothing and reached for my paper. As I did, she spoke.

"Where were you last night?" No preamble, no tentative questions, just attack. If she were hiding anything, I had to admit that she was playing this very well.

"I was at dinner at Café Duquesne with clients. I told you that last night. Why are you asking me now?"

"Why did you have perfume on your jacket and lipstick on your shirt collar?"

"I told you about the perfume and maybe one of the waitresses put the lipstick there. We had a little too much wine and maybe we got a little frisky. No big deal. I came home to you, didn't I?"

"I don't believe you. I think you were with another woman." She was glaring at me with eyes wet with tears. It was time to play the card I was holding.

"I guess we both have a secret don't we? You think I was with a woman last night and I think you were with a man last Thursday night. So we're even." I shook my paper open and pretended to read.

With a sob, Sunny jumped up and ran out of the den and upstairs to our bedroom. I watched her go with a funny feeling. On one hand, my plan had worked better and faster than I had expected. On the other hand, I saw the pain my answer had caused her and I felt bad about that. I knew for sure that I hadn't had an affair and I had only suspicions about her. She had much more apparent proof than I did and she must really believe I had an affair. I began to reconsider my suspicion but only for a second. I was convinced she had done something she was ashamed about and she was hiding it from me. I would continue with my plan until I forced her to confess.

I remained downstairs until well past midnight before going up to bed. As I hoped, Sunny was sound asleep so I had no reason to refuse her tonight. I went to bed satisfied and slept straight through until morning.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I awoke feeling refreshed and determined to continue with my plans. I would keep my meeting with Satin for tomorrow night and I would let Sunny know that I was going out with the same 'fellows' that I was with Tuesday night. That should really drive her up a wall. Sunny had made coffee and set out some bagels but I didn't see her at all before I left for work. I assume she had decided to avoid me after last night. I had a very uneasy feeling because of her absence but I couldn't make much of a fuss.

Thursday evening was uncomfortable but Sunny didn't make any further inquiries about my dinner meeting Tuesday and I didn't mention anything about tomorrow night. We had dinner, I played with JJ and put him to bed and we spent the rest of the evening watching TV without talking. At about 11:00 I finally stretched and told Sunny that I was going to bed.

"I will too. I don't feel like staying up by myself anyway. I'll see you upstairs."

With that she went into the kitchen to finish putting things away for the night and I heard her locking the front door. Upstairs, I had just removed my shorts when I heard her come into the bedroom. I often took my shower before bed so that I could be up and gone as early as possible in the morning and I was just about to step in when she reached around me with her arms and squeezed herself against me. I was surprised to note that she was already naked and I could feel her breasts pressing against my back. I felt an almost immediate arousal that I was unable to control. This was the woman I loved and she could still wake my passions with just a touch.

"I think I'll join you in your shower tonight. Do you mind?" she purred into my ear.

I considered rejecting her but that didn't survive the first touch of her hand as she dropped it down to my already erect cock. I turned around to face her and I put my arms around her, pulling her tightly against me.

"I don't mind at all."

"Good. I want you to make love to me in the shower. I want to feel you in me with the water washing down over us. I want you to take me from behind and make me scream. I want you to bend me over and use me like your slut!"

This was the way we used to be with each other. This was our little game. We would talk to each other, telling each other what we were going to do to each other and what we wanted the other to do. It was silly, but it was our ritual and we both enjoyed it. She always wanted me to take her from behind because she loved it that way. She loved to bend over and put her hands against the floor while I entered her from behind. She would wait until I told her I was almost ready and then she would straighten up and push her hands against the wall while she pushed back against me as I climaxed inside her. Typically she would cum almost at the same time. It was erotic as hell and I loved it that way.

I pushed her away from me, turned her around and put my hand on the small of her back and pushed her down. She resisted, continuing the game but I pushed harder and slapped her ass. She yelped and bent over, putting her hands down to the floor of the shower. I then entered her and I had to hold back the feeling of pleasure I felt as her warm wet pussy enveloped me. I wanted to make her plead for me to fuck her and I wanted it to feel great for her. I wanted her to remember that it was me that could make her feel this way. I wanted her to forget any other man and to forget why she would ever want to stray. I wanted to do all of these things and I was ready but I couldn't hold back. For the first time since I was a teenager, I climaxed almost as soon as I entered her.

I held her hips tightly as I came and then I pushed her away as I withdrew my spent cock. I was angry, and embarrassed and I stumbled out of the shower in confusion. What the hell had happened? What did I do and why? I had no answer but I didn't want to face Sunny now. I grabbed my towel and went downstairs to the dark den. I wanted to perform tonight more than usual but my body betrayed me and I didn't know why. I just sat there with my eyes closed and my arm over my face. I sat there, unwilling to go back upstairs to face my wife.

About 15 minutes later, I felt Sunny sit down on the couch next to me. She said nothing but I could feel her eyes on me. I had nothing to say. I couldn't say anything to explain what had happened, so I kept quiet.

She put her hand on my arm and rubbed softly up and down. I didn't move or speak but she continued to caress my arm. I enjoyed the feeling but it did nothing to satisfy my confusion or diminish my embarrassment. I couldn't even look at her.

"Sean, please don't be embarrassed. Honey, things like that happen to all men from time to time. It's nothing to be ashamed or angry about. It's just the stress we have both been under for a while. OK?"

"No, it's not OK. That has never happened to me before and you know it. And you know where all the stress you talk about is coming from. It started last Thursday night when you did something you won't tell me about with God knows who. That's the stress I'm under."
