Twisted Obsession (Closed)

Monday evening - Arriving at Brie's house with Alexi

Jack spent the afternoon taking care of the two thieves who tried to rob a slot machine. Loyalty was of the upmost importance in the gambling business. A breach of that loyalty had to be dealt with swiftly and that is exactly what Jack did. Confronting the two thieves, he hounded them to find out if anyone else was involved in the scheme. Finally satisfied that they were working alone, Jack had them escorted from his office but that was not the end. Broken fingers have a way of changing the mind of a thief and when they left premises, heading for the hospital, Jack was sure they would not pull a stunt like that again.

The rest of the afternoon dealt with mundane business issues. It took some effort to keep on top of the casinos, prostitution, and drug business. But all through the day, his thoughts were on one person, Brie Harper.

Last night, talking to Brie, was great and he felt she was beginning to open the door for him. But tonight he was going into her den, her inner sanctuary. How would she greet him? Would she be distant or encouraging him? She had to know he was going to try something. Hell he told her last night he couldn't wait to hold her in his arms and kiss her. He looked forward to being in her lair, stalking her and Alexi Constantine was just the person he needed. She would take care of Bryson's interior design questions and being sexy was also a bonus. He was sure Bryson wouldn't be able keep his eyes off her all night.

Jack took care getting ready for Brie. After a shower, he selected a pair of silk underwear, black trousers, and a soft lime green shirt. He left the top three buttons unlatched and then added a gold chain around his neck to finish the ensemble. Placing his expensive Rolex watch on his wrist he looked in the mirror and smiled. He looked like he was ready for a night on the town and in a way he was. The final touch was a splash of cologne from Victoria's Secret called "Very Sexy". Would she like the smell?

Picking up Alexi, he couldn't help to notice she was dressed to kill. Wearing a short black mini-skirt with a tight blood-red blouse that barely concealed her breasts was sure to catch Bryson's eye. He didn't tell her what to wear but was impressed. She normally dressed like this when she had an important meeting with men. She was well aware of how sexiness changed men's attention span.

When Brie opened the door, Jack was sure she saw his appreciative stare. He unabashedly took in her cream colored skirt and a black blouse, adorned with white flowers. Leaning toward her, he kissed her cheek as if they were long time friends. "You look great Brie and thanks for having us for dinner tonight. Where's Bryson?"

Anna mentioned her husband was in the shower and would join them shortly. Jack Introduced Alexi who immediately took Brie's hand in both of hers and informed Brie she was looking forward to working with her husband. Then she glanced around the living area remarking how well it was decorated. "You must tell me. Did you do all the decorations yourself? From what I can see, your condo looks absolutely amazing." Alexi was either impressed or laying it pretty thick and Jack noted Brie was beaming at Alexi's comments. "Please, if you don't mind could you give us a tour of the place while we wait for your husband?"

Jack stood off to the side watching the interaction between the women. A tour would be perfect and what made it more perfect, he didn't tell Alexi what to say. She was on her own tonight. Jack saw Brie turn to look at him, a bright smile on her face. "I think a short tour would be great Brie and maybe Bryson will be able to join us." This would be the perfect time to scope out the rooms for the fun he hoped to have with Brie tonight. He gave her a toothy smile and added, "Dinner smells terrific, is that chicken that smells so good? And I hope you have a surprise for dessert."
 
For a moment, Brie was embarrassed about her quaint little condo but the positive comments from Jack’s company helped her relax. Brie opened the door a little wider, accepting them into the house. Jack himself looked impeccable and Brie swallowed loudly, eyes tracking the length of him and visualizing the cut of his powerfully muscled body in the well tailored clothing he wore. His “friend” was beautiful, a bombshell of a woman, but Brie wasn’t paying too much attention to her.

She tried to cover her nervous expression with speech as she led them deeper into the apartment and showed them around, giving them the quick tour of their moderately sized two bedroom condo. She paused outside the door to her bedroom, hand on the knob. She didn’t want to open the door because she wasn’t sure the state of dress Bryson was in and would hate to invade his privacy, but she still made mention of it anyway.

“Yeah, the chicken is still being kept warm in the stove and dessert should be just about done. I promise it will not disappoint,” she assured.

She noted Jack’s eyes intently focused on the door and she wondered if he was busy fantasizing about forcing the door open and ravishing her in her marital bed. Brie certainly was - she blushed, clearing her throat and turning away from the two guests for a moment.

When she righted herself, Brie’s expression was stoic. She directed Jack and his company back down the hallway to the kitchen, cracking another smile as she attempted to play the role of the perfect hostess. “Is anyone ready for a drink? There’s whiskey in the cabinet to the left and wine on the counter. If you feel in the mood for beer, I have some of that too. Regardless, why don’t we all settle down with that drink while we wait?”

That was agreeable to both Jack and Alexi, so Brie readied their drinks and encouraged them to make themselves comfortable in the living room.

Brie sat gracefully on the edge of the love seat after grabbing herself a tumbler and pouring a generous amount of smooth amber whiskey into it; she felt like this evening would be hard on the nerves and a bit of liquid courage could never hurt. They filled the time with small talk and chatter about the condo and Bryson’s potential with Jack’s backing.
 
Monday evening - Brie shows Jack and Alexi the condo

Jack was impressed with the condo and languished just behind Brie and Alexi during the tour. While he took in the paintings and artifacts well-placed around the condo, his eyes were on Brie. He had a feeling she had dressed for him. Classy and sexy but still just the right amount of cover not to alarm her husband. When she put her hand on the door knob to the master bedroom but didn't open it, his mind filled with lewd thoughts. And from the look she gave him, she had to be thinking the same. He swore there was a connection between them that didn't exist yesterday. Did last night phone call change her thoughts about him?

Now sitting in the living room, a bourbon in his hand, he gazed upon Brie sitting across from him. She was acting like the perfect hostess, interacting beautifully with Alexi, answering her questions about some of the paintings hanging in the condo. He half-listened to them and when the talk to Bryson's new venture he added his thoughts about how lucky he was to have found Bryson. The look gave Brie told a totally different story and he noticed she took an extra gulp of whiskey. This could turn out to be a very interesting evening.

Bryson finally showed up, all smiles and full of apologies for being late. Everyone laughed and told him it was ok and that they were just getting acquainted. After Bryson got himself a drink, he sat next to Brie and Jack noticed she shifted just a bit away from him. To the average onlooker, it was simply a maneuver to give Bryson more space. But the look she gave Jack said so much more. Was there trouble in River City?

The talk turned expectantly to Bryson's new venture. Alexi had brought a sketch of his new office space and they began to discuss spatial ideas. Jack turned to Brie, who appeared bored with their conversation. "While you two discuss some preliminaries, why don't I help Brie get dinner on the table." To Jack it was a chance to get her alone in the kitchen and who knows maybe steal a kiss or two.

He saw the nervousness on Brie's face as she rose from the love seat. Both Bryson and Alexi simply nodded and Jack smiled as he silently followed Brie to the kitchen. When they arrived, he didn't give her a chance to say a word. Pushing her against the refrigerator, where they wouldn't be seen, he whispered, "I want you Brie." And then his eager lips met hers.
 
Her hands rose up to clasp around the sides of Jack’s neck as she surrendered to his kiss. Caught between the stainless steel of the appliance and Jack’s body, Brie pressed her caged breasts against his chest, kissing back hesitantly - as much as she wanted him, Bryson was only several feet away. At any moment they could be caught.

Separating their lips for a moment, Brie buried her face in his neck and breathed in his spicy cologne.

“Welcome Jack. I missed you,” she admitted. “You look amazing tonight. I hope this evening meets your standards. Lord knows Bryson will fuck it up somehow but I’ll do my best to keep him in hand,” she promised, somewhat bitterly. The venom behind it was clear and there was no hiding just how badly their marriage was struggling.

Her hands slid down his throat and ran down over his chest, squeezing the muscle there and trying to memorize the feel of his body until her fingers curled around his waist. Stepping in even further, Brie wrapped his arms around Jack and hugged him tightly.
 
Monday evening - Jack and Brie enjoy a kiss in the kitchen

Jack expected Brie to push him away but what a surprise he received. Instead of trying to get away, she returned his kiss with much fervor and desire. Her lips tasted so much better than yesterday. Was it the excitement of being caught? If Bryson were to walk into the kitchen all hell would surely break out. But the kiss was so damn good.

When they did break, he smiled, listening to her tell him how amazing he looked. "I think this evening will be fulfilling for both of us," he whispered as her hands wandered over his chest. When she hugged him tightly, he kissed her earlobe and then her neck, kissing and then sucking the tender skin between his lips. Too much sucking would leave tell-tale marks and Jack released his lips before he could do any damage to her supple neck.

His whisper was soft and reassuring. "Don't worry about Bryson fucking up our evening Brie. I think he and Alexi have a lot to discuss after dinner. And if so, that will leave you and I to entertain ourselves." Though he didn't plan on Alexi taking up Bryson's time, it was working out perfectly. If he had his way, he and Brie would be doing a lot of entertaining together after tonight.

His lips moved slowly from her earlobe to her cheek, searching for her lips once more. Their tongues clashed like two prize fighters, dueling for the win. But in this fight, they both would come out victorious. Pushing her against the stainless steel refrigerator, he loved the way her breasts brushed erotically against his chest. The occupants in the other room were temporarily forgotten until a deep voice interrupted their embrace.

"Honey? Is dinner ready? Alexi and I are starving."

It was time to break their embrace and join the others. Jack reluctantly let her go as she called out that they were getting dinner on the table. Jack chuckled and gave Brie one more kiss before they parted and carried the food to the dining room table. Alexi and Bryson entered from the living room, none the wiser as to what transpired in the kitchen.

Bryson took his usual chair at one end of the table and Brie sat opposite him. Jack and Alexi sat on the sides facing each other.. "I say we chow down on Brie's delicious smelling dinner. I can't wait to see what she serves up for dessert." Jack looked directly at Brie and if silent signals could be read he was telling her he had a dessert just for her.
 
Brie’s frustration at Bryson was very evident, but especially when he broke the silence with his loud call from the dining room. The new lovers separated reluctantly, longing glances exchanged. Brie grabbed the platter of salad that accompanied the chicken while Jack carried the main course and they reentered the room to set the table.

Brie dropped a kiss on top of Bryson’s head guiltily before resettling into her chair and helping everyone get their portions.

Glancing at Jack and staving off the red flush of her cheeks, Brie cleared her throat and attempted to change the subject.

“Yes, I hope dinner is to everyone’s liking. Alexi, what did you have in mind for Bryson’s space? He’s difficult to please, I hope you know. Let me tell you, it is a full-time job keeping him happy,” she joked, trying to make her comment a bit more light-hearted and not so irritated.

Jack must have realized because Brie felt his larger foot brush hers under the table and she looked up, sparing him a soft look and digging into her meal.
 
Monday evening - Dinner conversation

Bryson shot Brie a stare revealing he didn't care for her comment. She was being flippant and trying to act like a smart-ass in front of their guests. Turning his attention to Alexi, he smiled and then chuckled. "I'm not that difficult to get along with. I'm sure you'll see that my dear wife was just joking." Didn't she realize these were important people that would change their lives. How many times must he tell her about the importance of Jack Muldoon.

Jack instinctively brushed his foot on Brie's leg as if to order her to tame it down. Maybe she was just joking but he detected a hidden meaning to her words. She was upset with Bryson. And Bryson's comment said a lot too. He attempted to tell Alexi how well they would work together.

Alexi seemed oblivious to the hidden banter as he launched into discussing her work between bites of food. She told them how she and Bryson would work out spatial problems with the schematics she brought with her. She was very good at her job, explaining how the flow of everything in the office must be interrelated to each other task.

Bryson listened like a puppy dog, smiling and nodding at each comment. He knew all the terms related to interior design from his previous architectural work. Jack glanced at Brie and saw boredom written all over her face. Jumping into the conversation that was developing exclusively between Alexi and Bryson. "Why don't we talk about something else during dinner. You two can go off and take all the time you want discussing ideas for Bryson's new office."

Alexi and Bryson nodded and Brie looked a bit more relieved. The conversation centered on some local political issues and national issues. Jack was pleased to see Brie enter the conversation with her own ideas on how the city and country should be run. When they finished the main course, Jack leaned back and smiled at everyone. "That was one delicious meal Brie. I can't remember tasting chicken so delicious and tender. You're quite the cook."

She may have thought he was buttering her up, but he didn't have too. The meal was downright delicious. "Now how about I help you clear the table and you can surprise us with your special dessert." His comment didn't seem to phase Alexi and Bryson who both nodded and thanked Brie for a wonderful dinner. Jack smiled as he pushed his chair back, picking up his plate. She may be serving food for dessert but he planned to serve her something special for an after-dessert.
 
Removing the dirty dishes and leftover chicken, Brie was happy to have a momentary escape route from the conversation currently boring her to death. Admittedly, Brie’s comment might have been a little callous but she was finding it harder and harder to keep her silence whenever the anger at both her husband’s flippant attitude and her failing marriage won over. Reconvening with Jack in the kitchen was a nice break.

After setting the serving platter down on the counter, Brie turned to find Jack following right behind her. Once the dishes were placed in the sink, Brie practically threw herself at his chest and leaned up to kiss him, lips honing in on his enthusiastically. Jack wasted no time, pulling Brie into the circle of his arms more tightly.

After their ardour had cooled a bit, they had no excuse as to what was taking them so long in the kitchen. After dessert they could let Bryson and Alexi talk privately and find some time for themselves, but this was not the time. Her husband was expecting her return and Brie knew that he might eventually decide to come looking if she didn’t move fast enough for his liking.

With a disappointed sigh, Brie separates herself from Jack and began serving up the crumble, a dollop of whipped cream and some ice cream as well on top of the steaming hot dessert. They both grabbed two bowls and carried them out to the diners before that same boring conversation renewed itself. The only thing that kept her quiet was the large foot resting against hers but even that wasn’t enough: Brie was feeling a bit like the naughty vixen she hadn’t been since university and wanted to push her luck.

Slipping her toes out of her shoe was only the beginning. Her smirk was wicked as they began flirting with Jack’s pant leg and crawling up the inside of his strong calf, sometimes a barely there brush or other times a more firm type of massage. She wanted him to have an idea of what she planned to do to his cock later.
 
Monday evening - Jack's after dinner suggestion

Jack tried to listen and join in the conversation about local politics but a foot with wiggling toes distracted him. Brie's expression showed she was bored with the conversation and had other more sensual ideas. To reciprocate would reveal to Alexi and Bryson that something was amiss. Eating the delicious crumble and joining in the conversation, he had a tease of his own for Brie. After a few bites, some of the whipped cream missed it mark and ended up on his lips. Turning to Brie, he gave her a knowing smile and seductively slowly licked his lips. The message was perfectly clear. Each time he secretly conveyed his intentions, her toes and foot pressed on his leg harder.

The crumble and conversation was winding down and it now a critical time for Brie and Jack. Jack was trying to think of way to get Alexi and Bryson out of the room or even out of the house. But Bryson saved the day.

"God honey that was the best meal and dessert you've cooked in a long time." Alexi and Jack were quick to compliment Brie too and she smiled back at the trio telling them thanks. It was Bryson's next words that put a smile on Jack's face. "Honey I know this is all boring to you but would you mind if Alexi and I go out on the patio and look at the schematics she developed."

He didn't need to look at Brie but he was sure she was smiling from ear to ear. Before she could respond, Jack jumped at the chance. "I know this is very important to you Bryson. Why don't you and Alexi go out to the patio and take all the time you want?"

"But I hate leaving you and Brie alone. You're guests!"

"Don't worry about us. I want to find out some more about Brie's dancing program she's teaching. We'll be fine. Trust me."

Bryson eyed Jack and then turned his attention to Brie. "Are you sure it's ok honey? I just want to get a head start on our new adventure."

Jack wished Alexi or Bryson would've suggested going to the empty building space and leaving he and Brie alone for a long time. But this would be more exciting, having sex in her condo with the chance of getting caught. The thought of clandestine sex made his blood rush to his cock. He figured they had about forty-five minutes to satisfy their growing hunger.

"What do you say Brie? Think we can co without these two for about an hour?" All eyes fell on the beautiful hostess. She had the final say.
 
Brie couldn’t believe her luck. Not only would she be spared this boring talk about the office design but also that she would get more than a few minutes of privacy with Jack. Brie imagined sinking to her knees at the table she’d placed a delectable meal on for her husband and his boss only to suck said boss off while Bryson was mere feet away out on the patio. The image was heady and Brie felt a throb start in her groin and begin to spread heat through her bloodstream.

Smiling politely, Brie rose from the table and circled around it to clap a hand over Jack’s shoulder.

“I think I can entertain this guy for a bit, so why don’t you two grab a drink and make yourselves comfortable outside? It is such a lovely evening and I know you’ll work it all out,” she agreed casually, her hand sliding off the strong curve of bone to rest on the back of his chair innocently instead.

“I could use some help with the dishes and I’m pretty sure he volunteered, what with the way he’s cleaned his plates tonight!” Her joking spirit was loud and clear and she hoped Jack didn’t take offence to the familiar way she spoke to him, but Bryson never could take her playful jabs and always end up pouting like a spoiled child. Brie figured that Jack could handle it.

******

Standing in the dining room after clearing the table and loading the dishwasher quickly, Brie fixed her eyes on the patio door. The curtains were mostly drawn but both parties outside were deeply embroiled in their work regardless. Brie had just finished wiping the table when she felt the solid wood dig into her hipbones as a firm body moulded itself against her back.

Brie bit her lip, tilting her head back and delivering a tiny kiss to the sharp ridge of her lover’s jaw. Two sets of chocolate orbs clashed, heavy with lust and desire. Brie’s muscles tended, waiting. Waiting for Jack’s command. From the start he had led this affair and it it was to continue, so close to the private space she shared with her hubby, Brie would need his support and clear direction. She didn’t think she would be able to follow through without.
 
Monday evening - Moving their playtime to the bedroom.

What caused Brie's transformation from indifference to him to wanting him? Jack didn't dwell on the factors that changed Brie's attitude toward him as he watched her begin to wipe the table. Her attention to him had changed. He thought of last night's phone call and smiled seeing her cute ass bent over the table, as if inviting him to touch. And touch he did, sidling up behind her, pressing his groin against her backside, letting her feel his flaccid manhood.

Soon it would be swollen and he would have to thank for that. When her head tilted backward and she gave him a peck on the cheek, he knew exactly what she wanted. And he planned to give it to her under the threat of being caught by her husband. His hands circled her, grabbing her well-endowed breasts, pulling her back against him. While his fingers felt the silkiness of her hidden bra, his lips sought hers, claiming them once more.

The kiss was more passionate than the earlier ones they stole in the kitchen. Their lips moved sensually against one another, tongues darting to and fro, delivering a silent message of lust. Jack was able to see the couple on the patio and knew that any look into the dining room would be trouble, big trouble.

Reluctantly pulling his lips from Brie's succulent lips, he gave her a wicked smile. "I want you now." It was a simple statement but it said so much. Turning her toward him and grabbing her hand, he pulled her toward the patio. At first Brie resisted but Jack's strong paw held her hand tightly. When they arrived at the patio door, Jack opened it a few inches. "It's such a beautiful night we are going to take a walk. Take all the time you need."

"We will," commented Bryson. "Alexi is such a big help. You two have fun on your walk."

Jack gave them a bright smile and closed the door. Not waiting for any questions from Brie, Jack guided her to the master bedroom suite. They were going to fuck like kids in her room, a room she was intimate with her husband. Jack was sure she had not shared liberties with any other man. Jack would be the first to take Brie in her inner sanctum.

Once in side Brie's private room, Jack pushed her against the door, smothering her with kisses. His hands, as well as her, ran rampant over any part of their bodies they could touch. Then while she fumbled with the buttons on his shirt, his did the same to her blouse. And when he parted it to reveal her lavender lace bra, he let out a low whistle, while shoving it off her shoulders. His hands instantly moved to the white skirt, easily unhooking it and letting it drop to the floor. Another low whistle welcomed the sight of her matching thong, already wet with desire.

There was no need at the present to discard her underwear. Instead he put his large hands on her shoulders and it didn't take much to see her sink to her knees. "I your dessert waiting for you baby ……. enjoy."
 
Kneeling there in front of him, Brie looked up the length of his body. He was thick with both defined musculature and blood pumping into his engorged cock because Brie was getting quite an eyeful as it tented his slacks. Jack was the picture of power as he met her eyes, stance wide and shirt carelessly split open, large hands still in her shoulders to keep her in place.

The only place Brie wanted to go was closer to her new toy.

Reaching up to thumb at the button to his trousers, Brie flicked it open and deftly lowered the zipper, hand squeezing at the bulbous distension of cock in his boxers. Leaning forward, Brie’s tongue found the head of his shaft which was already dripping precum and delivered a wet kiss to the tip. She moaned at the salty patch she found there.

Rubbing and stroking for a few minutes, Brie nuzzled her face against the front of him, happy to breathe in his musk.

When she finally tugged on the waistband of his boxers just enough to free his cock, Brie stared at the bouncing tower of flesh. It seemed bigger than she remembered but maybe that was because of the clandestine sex they were about to have in her marital bed; Brie could already tell that she was wetter than she ever had been.

Slowly, Brie encapsulated the head in her mouth until her lips rested just under the crown. Hollowing her cheeks and sucking like a babe might with it’s bottle, she worked her fist up and down the rest of Jack’s girth that wasn’t in her mouth. Eyes shuttering, Brie fell easily into the task “at hand”; Brie had never been much for giving head but down here with Jack’s critical eyes looking down on her, Brie didn’t find that she wanted to be doing anything else at this moment.

She was happy.

There was one thing she did want, but for now... She wanted to enjoy the moment. Someday she would ask Jack if he would take her still dressed in all his clothes - she just wanted him to pull her pants down far enough to fit his cock inside and fuck her urgently, whenever he pleases, but that was not for now. It was a fantasy to come later. For now, Brie worked to suck him to full-mast, because indeed Jack’s gargantuan penis was not quite erect in her mouth.

Whimpering at the reminder of how easily he claimed her, Brie tightened her lips, sunk down a bit farther and began to bob.
 
Monday evening - Jack and Brie in her bedroom

There was no forcing Brie to sink to her knees and once there, he could see the delight in her eyes. He had something she wanted and when she licked her lips, he knew she was anxious to free his rod. She took her time freeing his cock as though she had all the time in the world. Her husband was on the other side of the house and could easily walk in on them, but she was enjoying her playtime.

Jack watched her uncover his cock and the first few licks and sucks were signs of worship. She kissed and sucked on the head, drawing soft moans from him while her hand continued to stroke it. His fingers left her shoulders and curled in the strands of her brown hair, holding them lightly for now. Soon he would use the strands to direct her mouth but for now he relaxed watching her bob up and down on his hard meat getting it wet and ready for her pussy.

Glancing at the bedside clock he saw they were barely at four minutes into their playtime. Grabbing her hair, he pulled hard, thrusting his cock deep into her mouth until it hit the back of her throat. He remembered how she had taken his cock and with one push, he felt it break the barrier, slipping into her throat. Holding it there and cutting off her ability to breathe, he waited for her eyes to implore him that she needed him to pull out. The pleading look turned to gasps for air when he pulled his cock from her lips.

Grabbing his cock, he slid it along her cheeks, slapping one and then the other before returning to her lips. Teasing her lips with short jabs, he chuckled seeing her lips part only to be denied. "Open those pretty lips slut," was his soft but urgent demand. When she did as he asked, keeping them parted wide, he wasted no time delivering his meat to her throat again, groaning as it slid down her windpipe. "Ohhhh fuck baby ….. ohhhhh that's it slut take my cock and suck on it."

He again held her head knowing she was powerless to stop him. Yeah she could let out a scream and have Bryson come running but that was not going to happen. Not because she feared him but because she enjoyed sucking his cock. Jack knew this and now that he knew she was his for the taking, he would take her whenever he wanted or when she needed him.

Releasing his cock from her throat, he began to fuck her mouth hard, seeing the spit and dribble collecting on her lips and then sliding to her chin. The spittle hung precariously on the edge of her chin and then onto her chest and disappearing into her lacy bra. Jack continued to use Brie's mouth for another few minutes and when he pulled it out, ready for something else, she was panting hard.

Grabbing her shoulders, he easily pulled her up to her feet, his lips waiting and ready for a torrid kiss. After a lengthy wanton kiss, his lips moved southward to her neck, nipping on the soft skin and then down to her breasts. The silky material felt good on his lips. Sucking on the hardened nipples hidden inside, he worked his talented fingers upward to easily open the front clasp and expose her luscious breasts.

Jack was feeling hot and horny, his cock pressing against Brie's abdomen. He needed to feel the heat of her cunt. Pulling her to the bed that she shared with Bryson, Jack pushed her onto her back, seeing her eyes focused only the long pole bobbing between hit thighs. "Is this what you wanted last night when you had your toy? Well now you have the real thing and what are you going to do with it?" Jack saw the devilish smile spread on her face and knew she knew exactly where she wanted his rigid shaft.
 
She loved the way he took control of her mouth that way and forced her to swallow him to the root. It was a struggle because he was larger than any other man she’d had before but the challenge was fun. Brie learned to squeeze his hipbone or pin him with a certain look when her need to breathe became too much.

With her chin resting against Jack’s scrotum and the full length of meat stuffed into her windpipe, Brie’s mouth split into a smile.

The real fun began when he manhandled her onto the bed.

Offering him a coquettish look, Brie bent her knees and spread them apart so that Jack had full view of the wet pinkness between her thighs. It was shiny and slick, shaven lips offering him a tempting place to rest. She slid one finger through the moisture there and raised it to her lips to suck it clean.

“Yes Jack,” she said quietly. “I wanted you so badly. This is where I want you. Please, will you fuck me? I need you to. I want you to.”
 
Monday evening - taking the playtime to Brie's bed

Her devilish actions on the bed brought a wide smile to Jack. The way she acted nonchalantly ran her fingers inside her furrow, collecting nectar and then tasting it, sent a thrill through him. When he thought of her opening the door to sexual adventures, he thought it would take more convincing. But her actions in the kitchen, dining room, and now the bedroom, changed his thinking. All she needed was some encouragement to let the sensual beast inside her out.

The thought of dropping to his knees and making her cum on his tongue was quickly dismissed. His own lust had been building for over a day now and he too needed some relief. "You're going to get all of it my slutty girl." Holding his cock in his right hand, he approached the prone woman who was eagerly waiting for her dessert. Rubbing the head of his cock over the slippery channel, he smirked when she closed her eyes and moaned her approval. "Yeah my sweet bitch I'm going to fuck you so good."

Jack rubbed his cock harder against the slick furrow, pushing the head inside to rub her highly sensitive clit. Each pass over her precious jewel, brought out another moan and a jerk of her hips. Now was not the time to be teasing and with one hard lunge toward her, his cock speared her pussy, sliding easily into the well lubricated tunnel.

The heat was intense and Jack felt his cock jerk and throb inside. His shaft felt so wonderful filling her up completely. Her vaginal muscles clenched his veiny shaft, trying to keep it prisoner when he withdrew. But his withdrawal was only to the entrance and then his cock plunged deep inside her.

Leaning over her, he grabbed her wrists pulling them over her head while his hips pounded against hers. Their eyes locked onto each other, he staring deeply into her emerald eyes and she fixated on his brown chestnut eyes. The silent telepathy between them told the story of two lovers learning about each other.

Jack was much stronger that Brie and he clasped both wrist with one large hand. With his free hand, his thumb and forefinger opened to clutch the curve of her neck. He squeezed her airways shut for a few moments before relaxing his grip to let her suck in some air. When she had sufficiently taken in some air, he gripped her throat again, to the moans of his lover.

Her legs wrapped around his hips with a death-like grip, their hips clashing together like one well oiled machine. No words were spoken at first but then Jack let out a gasp. "Fuck me Brie. Fuck me like you've never fucked any other man." Though they had been going at for about 15 minutes, there was no thought or mention of the possibility of being caught. They were in their own world.
 
He felt so good inside her and the large girth of him spreading her open around him was so exciting. It was even better when he spoke about her like she was his and not her husband’s, those possessive terms encouraging her to raise her hips and thrust back as best she could with his hefty weight on top of her. His hands were so big that one of his hands were able to grasp and hold both wrists tightly above her head.

Knees curled around Jack’s hips, Brie enjoyed the ride. Even though they technically had to hurry, there really was no urgency as they made love, his strong body undulating overtop of hers and dark eyes meeting her own chocolate orbs. From this position it was too awkward for her to really do much more than pump her own hips back to meet his own thrusts but using her feet to press against his abs, Brie encouraged Jack to kneel over her. When he did, Brie used her own body’s momentum to force him onto his back. It caused him to let her go momentarily and by the time he reached to grab her again Brie was seated atop his hips with his dick buried more deeply inside.

She began to rock slowly, wicked smirk curling her lips.

“No other man measures up,” she commented. “You’re damn right that I’ve never fucked a man like you, so let me take care of you baby.”

Brie leaned down to press her breasts against his chest and kissed him slowly.

Her words were a whisper against his mouth.

“You’re going to cum inside me in the bed I share with my husband, Jack. That’s really fucking bold of you. I love it.”
 
Monday evening - Jack explodes into Brie

Jack chuckled at her comment about never being fucked this good. He lay back and watched with pleasure as she leaned over him, pressing her breasts hard nipples into his muscular chest. Her lips were barely touching his when she spoke of loving the idea of fucking him in the bed she shared with her husband.

To answer her, Jack reached up and grasped a clump of hair forcing her mouth down on his. He didn't have to force her too much as her needy lips crushed against his. The lips moved and slid together, tongues spearing at each other in a sensual fight. As they kissed, Jack's hips rose off the bed, to meet the thrusts of his lover. His free hand slid quickly down her back, grasping the pear shaped cheek, guiding it. But it was clear, Brie didn't need guidance in that department, hips rolling and then rising and falling on his rigid cock.

Holding her butt cheek brought the idea of fucking her anally and the thought made his cock jerk. Some day he would take her ass which he assumed was a virgin. As her hips continued to urgently rise and fall and their kiss deepened, visions of plunging his cock into her virgin ass escalated in his brain.

How long they stayed in that position wasn't clear but Jack knew time was of the essence. Bryson might need to use the bathroom to relieve his full bladder. Or he could be curious if they had returned from their so called walk.

Breaking the kiss, he easily rolled her over onto her back, his cock still deeply embedded in her pussy. He got up on his knees and grabbed her ankles, spreading them wide apart. "I want you to touch your clit and cum with me Brie. I'm going to fill my filthy slut's cunt with my hot cream and then you are going to lick it clean."

His meaning was clear. Pushing her legs back, Jack began the ancient ritual that would end with him exploding inside her, filling her with his rich seed. "Cum with me Brie. Show me how much you love this hard cock." Jack was on the edge and with a few more deep violent plunges, his body froze and there was no stopping what was about to happen.
 
Her thumb stroked rapidly over her clit but she was so close that she really didn’t even need the added stimulation. As soon as Jack began spurting deep inside her Brie was at the precipice, clutching to his shoulders desperately as she came, too. For a moment the both of them caught their breath, sinking into the plush mattress underneath them.

It wasn’t long before Brie was rolling out from under Jack and kneeling next to him, a curtain of hair eclipsing his lower half as Brie lowered her mouth to clean off the mixture of their sexual juices from his manhood. She moaned at the flavour, sucking slowly in order to savour it a little longer. When she was done, Brie curled up next to him on the bed and kissed him quickly before resting her head on his chest and listening to his heart beat under her ear.

The sound of the patio door sliding open down the hall forced Brie to jump from her bed and grab for her clothing. She turned a panicked eye onto Jack as she threw his own clothes at him and hissed,” “they’re coming! Hurry up!”

She didn’t worry too much about her hair in disarray or the fact that she was sweating - they could excuse that with a more strenuous walk. She couldn’t excuse Jack naked in her bed.
 
Monday evening- Jack and Brie enjoy the afterglow

The sex with Brie was exhilarating. The way she fucked him and then stroked her clit to cum at the same time as him, made him smile. But what was really interesting was the way she leaned over after sex and sucked his cock clean. He had told her during lovemaking to do this task and she obeyed. Was she really giving into his demands so soon? It had only been a couple of days but what a wonderful experience so far. She started out rejecting him but now she was acting as if she only wanted him.

They laid curled together, touching and kissing during the aftermath. If felt so right to be lying in bed with Brie, even if they were in the bed she shared with Bryson. How was ole Bryson and Alexi doing? Glancing at the bedside clock while their lips were glued together, he saw that about 30 minutes had passed. Thought he would have loved for their lovemaking to last longer, there was the risk that too long together and they would be discovered.

And then the sound of a glass sliding door opening and Brie jumping excitedly off the bed. She was panicking, grabbing his clothes and throwing them at him. He quickly slid into his boxers and trousers, watching Brie snap her bra and then grab her blouse. The marks he left on her back were healing nicely and he told her, "I'm glad to see your back is healing."

She didn't respond as she tried to button her blouse as quickly as she could. He spied her thong lying on the floor and after bending to pick it up, he chuckled stuffing them into his pocket. "These will make a great souvenir to go with your panties I kept when you came to my condo."

The strong voice carried through the condo. "BRIE ….. JACK ….. are you back yet." Silence met his call and then he repeated his question only to be greeted by silence. Jack pulled Brie into his arms and told her to be quiet and see what happens. There was nothing good that would come if they walked out of the bedroom and Bryson was standing in the hallway.

There was a eerie silence and then the voice called out. "I guess they are not back from their walk. I'll fix you another drink and then we can finish up. I don't think they'll he gone too much longer."

The sound of clinking glasses and then the sound of the sliding door opening and closing told them they escaped being found out. Jack pushed Brie against the wall and grabbed a clump of hair forcing her head back against the wall. "Someday baby I want him to watch how a real man fucks his wife. would you like that baby? Having him sitting in a chair, watching you suck my cock and then we fuck like banshees?" Pressing his lips against hers, he kissed her passionately before pulling back. "Think about it Brie," he whispered and then added, "We had better get out there and make an appearance."
 
Think about it she did. The idea made her feel a bit strange but it also turned her on; Brie had always been considerate of Bryson’s feelings on the past despite being on a tightrope of emotion and precariously inching closer to a divorce. Disregarding him that way seemed callous and so outside her comfort zone but... the idea was so sexy. For a moment she considered what it might be like for Bryson to watch as another man took proper control of her.

She could think about it more later.

Also, his comment made her remember the evening he laid bent her over and struck at her with his belt. She remembered the fear of it but that was muted now under waves of pleasure - she had been so scared at first but ended up enjoying it in the end. No man had ever been bold enough to beat her with his belt for misbehaving but Jack was. That domination over his partners was so immutable that Brie knew being with Jack would always be intense. It would be a lot of work. She wondered if any woman had ever married Jack. Surely this violent spirit was not new: she couldn’t see many women tolerating (or especially, liking it) for a long time unless they were a very special breed of woman. Brie wasn’t even so certain she could, either.

Her back was healing nicely. Another more wicked part of her wondered just when he would split her open again.

Instead she nodded,
Pulling back with a deep sigh and glancing at the doorway. She straightened the sheets on the bed quickly and then the turned the knob to rejoin the couple in the patio. Jack walked confidently ahead of her and Brie followed quietly until she reached the patio door. Opening it and leaning out with an over large smile, Brie said, “we’re back! Sorry - Jack got distracted at one of the local shops. I guess he’s never been to this part of town before. How did you guys fare?”
 
Monday evening - saying good night for now

Jack stood behind Brie as she put her head out the opening of the sliding glass door. The look on Bryson and Alexi's faces revealed that they had no clue what just happened in the master bedroom. They were smiling and it was evident they had enjoyed their time together.

Bryson's voice was filled with glee. "Everything is going great honey. Why don't you two grab a drink and we'll show you what we have come up with?"

Jack pulled on Brie's shoulder. "Shall we?"

They retreated into the room, finding their glasses and refilling them. As they walked to the patio, Jack padded Brie's ass. "Very nice." Brie's quick glance back at him told him to quit. Jack just smiled. He would be taking that ass for his own soon and the rest of her for that matter.

The foursome sat on the patio talking and sipping their drinks. Bryson had the floor and showed Brie and Jack the schematics he and Alexi produced. Jack acted very interested (which he was) but the expression on Brie's face told a different story. She was bored by all the shop talk. After about thirty minutes, Bryson was done and Brie seemed relieved. Jack looked at his expensive watch and commented that it was time to break up the party.

"These two have had a busy day and I'm sure would like to hit the bed early." Brie gaze was filled with daggers at the comment. His reference was lost on Bryson and Alexi who didn't know what went on under their noses. Alexi thanked Brie for a wonderful dinner and so did Jack, giving Brie a knowing wink and smile for the wonderful dessert.

Brie and Bryson walked them to the car and on the way Alexi mentioned she forgot her purse. Jack quickly interjected that he would go back and get it, asking Brie to help him. Once in the condo, they found the purse but rather than rush back outside, Jack pulled Brie into his arms and kissed her. At first her return was reluctant but then it warmed into a very welcoming mesh of lips.

Jack had been the predator up until now, slowly trying to make Brie realize there was more to life that stale sex with Bryson. Last night seemed to be a turning point and tonight he had the distinct feeling she had made a commitment to him. But how much of a commitment did she make? Was her actions toward Jack just a favorable reaction to his pursuit? Did she really want a long term commitment with him? He had to find out.

Breaking the seal their lips had formed, he looked directly into her eyes. "Thank you for the great dinner and the great dessert and I'm not talking about your crumble." Jack decided to give her some time for thought. "I want to see you again Brie (kissing her cheek). Call me tomorrow and tell me when and where to meet you. Until then I will be counting the minutes."

Jack gave her another deep kiss and then turned to walk toward the door toward Bryson and Alexi knowing Brie was right behind him. Would she stop him before he got to the door or would she tell him she would call him tomorrow? Either way the ball was in her court and it was her play to either reject or accept his request.
 
Brie said nothing, brain working overtime to process the events of the evening one more time. She watched the door shut behind Jack quietly, turning away and immediately heading for the shower. She scrubbed under scalding water until there was no trace of her misdeeds almost robotically.

She did not regret great sex. She did regret that she had to get it from a man who wasn’t her husband. Over the next little while Brie would have some tough decisions to make and first and foremost on her mind was leaving Bryson. At this point, Jack was a fun distraction, but that was all that he was in the end. She couldn’t afford to let him overturn her entire future.

When Bryson joined her in the bed that Brie imagined still smelled faintly of her other lover, he was out before he even noticed. She breathed a sigh of relief and rolled into her side facing away from him. Twisting and fiddling with her wedding band for most of the night, Brie did not sleep.

Bryson found her sitting out on the patio in the early morning sun, drops of dew clinging to the clear fiberglass railing and soaking into the cold cement underneath her bare feet. Brie wore only a pair of threadbare underwear, thin black cotton that she felt most comfortable in and a plain tank top but not much else. Her mostly empty coffee cup had long gone cold and it was clear she’d been sitting on the porch for a hefty amount of time. She appeared unconcerned about her state of partial dress.

She didn’t even seem to realize he was there, just inside the door, watching her soundly. When he took a couple steps closer, Brie startled, jumping in shock and bumping her knee against the underside of the table. The coffee cup wobbled precariously and before she could even reach out to catch it the ceramic was shattered on the ground all around her chair. Brie looked down at it with hollow eyes before she pushed her chair back and moved to stand. It was a great comparison to her marriage.

She had gathered most of the shards before Bryson even bothered to reach out and help but just as she went to grab the final one her fingers slid over the sharp edge and Brie drew back with a pained hiss and loud “ouch!”

Tenderly, Bryson took her hand in his and kissed the bleeding fingertips one by one. Brie watched silently, head cocked in question at Thai uncharacteristic display of affection.

It only made things harder.

Brie pulled her hand back and stood. She did an about face and looked out over the city so far below.

Her words were almost indistinguishable when she stated, “I’m not happy, Bryson,” but they grew in volume and tempo the more they kept rolling over her vocal chords.

“I know you aren’t, either. For too long I’ve been ignoring the issues and giving you a pass but the truth is I’m pretty pessimistic lately and I’ve given you a hard time. You’re never home. You always want to talk about work when you are home... Bryson I... Lately I feel as though you married your job and not me. I need you to tell me the truth,” Brie begged. “Please. How can I help you if you won’t let me? How can I love you if I don’t even know who you are anymore? I think I need to go stay with my parents for a few days and try and figure out where my head is at.”

The words were full of longing and pain towards the marriage that was quickly heading to a dead-end, fists clenching helplessly as she spoke. She’d been thinking about this all night and it felt so freeing to say any of that out loud. There was no way she could go on living a life so lonely and miserable even with a man sharing her bed. It hurt, but truthfully they had both probably saw this coming.
 
Tuesday Morning - Bryson gets a bomb shell and Jack waits for Brie's call

Bryson wondered why Brie didn’t come out with Jack to say good-bye but he was sure she had a good reason. After Jack and Alexi drove off, Bryson went looking for Brie. He found her in the shower and for a brief moment thought of joining her. Instead he went to the patio and finished his drink, sitting and looking down at the lights of the city. Today was great and it was the start of a wonderful change in their lives. She would see that the fruits of his labors would make things better for them.

Cleaning up the glasses off the patio, he went to the bedroom, finding Brie already in bed. After a small kiss good-night he fell fast asleep, thoughts of his new office and the work he was doing for Jack Muldoon. He thought of turning over and taking Brie into his arms but she seemed distracted. A few yawns later, Bryson was in a deep sleep.

In the morning he found Brie on the patio staring off into space. She had another day off today from her nursing job and he wished he could stay home with her. But he had to go to his old company to coordinate the jobs he was handing over to a junior architect. He must have startled her because she jumped as if startled and her favorite ceramic coffee cup landed on the patio floor in a smattering of pieces. It was a cup they had bought in a small shop on the coast and even though they had other cups, Brie always chose that one.

Brie was quick to kneel and pick up the pieces as Bryson stood watching. When she cut her hand, he saw the blood and in a moment of sympathy, he grabbed her hand and kissed the cuts as one does with a small child. He wasn’t expecting what he heard next.

He listened in shocked silence as Brie related her unhappiness to him. Her tone grew ominous as he tried to digest the meaning of her words. Yeah, they had some marital difficulties in the bedroom. Didn’t she understand he was doing all this for her?

Leave? She wanted to leave him for a few days at one of the most critical times in their lives. Didn’t she realize how much time it took to be successful? Bryson began internalizing her arguments but he didn’t voice them. When she worked long hours at the hospital and called to say she couldn’t get away, did he balk? Of course, she worked long hours and then had a few days off in the middle of the week when he was working. Did he complain about being alone? No! And what about the weekends when she worked, did he complain? No. But Bryson didn’t verbalize all his jumbled arguments. Instead he reached out to take her into his arms.

“I don’t know where this is coming from Brie but I don’t want to lose you. I love you so much (a vision of fucking the casino staff flew into his brain). I need you Brie and I know you need me. We need to talk about this and work it out.” He kissed her cheek as she tried to turn it away from him. He was confused. Everything was falling into place for them and now she was telling him their marriage was in trouble?

He reached up and grabbed her cheeks forcing her to look at him. “I don’t know what brought this on now, especially since I’ve been working to make a better life for us. I don’t want you to go to your parents Brie. We need to talk this out and come to some resolution”

She turned her head away again as he said, “I love you Brie and I can’t live without you.” What would he do if she left him? A sudden chill ran down his spine. He would do anything to save his marriage. “I promise I’ll be home tonight and we can talk to out. Promise me you’ll be here when I come home. I don’t want to lose you Brie. I need you.”

He let her go and turned to walk into the condo. He had an early morning meeting with some junior architects and he couldn’t be late. He was surprised when she didn’t say a word as he opened the patio door. Was she going to be home when he returned? A sudden pall came over him. There was a chance he could lose his wife and he didn’t want that. He would do anything to save his marriage.
*******************************************
Jack woke up feeling refreshed and full of thoughts about Brie. Having sex in her bed brought a smile to his face. She was an eager and willing participant in this game of sexual thrills. He had to admit that if she was single, he would pursue her more rigorously but he had to be careful. She was married to a man who was deeply in debt to him, fucked some of his casino staff, and was a great architect.

As far as he was concerned, setting him up with his own business was a stroke of genius. It allowed him to keep an eye on him and his lovely wife. Soon he would be upping the sexual games to show her what was really hidden under her skin. It was now just a matter of time before she was fully caught in his web of kinky sex and he was sure she would enjoy it immensely.

On his drive to the office, he continued to think about Brie. He left her last night with a demand. Well not really a demand. Would she call him today as he requested and tell him when and where they could meet? He wondered about that question all the way to the office. One thing was sure, he would not contact her, at least not yet. But if he had to contact her before she called him, she would have to pay the penalty. She had to learn who her sexual boss was even if she didn’t yet realize it
 
As much as Brie wanted to be gone when Bryson returned home this evening she knew that he did have a point. As a mature adult making decisions that affected someone else, the responsible thing to do was talk it out. That didn’t mean that Brie still didn’t pack a bag just in case. It was likely a great idea that she spend a couple nights away regardless in order to screw her head on straight.

After that, Brie worked tirelessly to clean the condo from top to bottom until it was sparkling clean. Another bad habit; anxious behaviour that manifested similar to obsessive compulsive disorder in terms of symptoms. Things had to be just so. It took her mind away from the events in her marriage and made her focus on other things for the afternoon so she counted her compulsion as a benefit today.

Brie did not once think about calling Jack.

That might have been due to the purposeful way she accomplished the tasks on her list and placed a roast beef in the slow cooker for an easy dinner.

Either way, Brie completed her work and let herself relax into the big soaker tub in the master en-suite, reading carefully a book that her sister had loaned her a few weeks ago. Brie had been too busy to tuck into it prior to this, but she found her stress melting away under the scalding water as she immersed herself into a fantastical tale woven so intricately.

Brie heard the front door close down the hall about an hour later. She grabbed her towel and wrapped it around herself leisurely, sure that Bryson could manage on his own. A second towel was used to ruffle her hair and shake some of the moisture loose from thick, dark strands of hair.

Throwing on a navy blue silk dressing gown, Brie padded softly down the hallway in her bare feet with messy hair and a body that was only barely covered. Finger combing her hair on the way to the kitchen, Brie paused in the entryway.

She didn’t have to force a smile this time. Her sister Madison was propped up on the couch with her feet on the coffee table, flicking through channels on the television as she shoveled large spoonfuls of ice cream into her mouth absentmindedly.

Maddie realized she wasn’t alone and raised a hand in greeting, not even turning away from the episode of the Bachelorette she had settled on.

Brie lived for Maddie’s random visits. They were too few lately and Brie had missed her sister. Now, she was so thankful that she knew where the spare key was in case of emergency. She rarely used it but it was a pleasant surprise. So was the extra spoon laid out on the table just calling Brie’s name.

The girls talked and giggled and curled up together and demolished that ice cream container in no time. Brie felt so much better and after a bad day had taken a more positive turn; she had hope for the discussion she had to have with her husband later that evening.

Resting her face against Maddie’s shoulder, Brie didn’t even register someone tucking the blanket around her and kissing her forehead.

She’d deal with whatever came.

Tuesday evening - Bryson is surprised to find Maddie with Brie

Bryson spent the day working with various departments within the company going over his long project list. The other employees all wished him well in his new endeavor but it was clear, they were glad an obstacle was going to out of the way. With Bryson Harper out of the picture, most of the junior architects saw a chance for advancement. Bryson too felt a bit of sorrow leaving the company but he kept reminding himself of the opportunity with Jack.

Around mid-day he took a call from Jack, asking how everything was going with the transition. Bryson told him he couldn’t be happier and looked forward to working more closely with him. Jack reminded him of the deadline for the casino projects he was working on privately for him. Bryson told him he knew the issues and would work on them tonight. It was after he clicked off, that he remembered he told Brie he would be home tonight. He knew he would be in deep water if he didn’t show up and he knew he was in deep water with Jack if he missed the deadline.

And then to make matters worse, his ex-wife called, informing him she and the girls were moving out of state and there was nothing he could do about it. He hadn’t seen his two girls in a few months and whenever he tried to see them, his ex-wife made sure they were too busy to see him. He wondered if Jack could find some way to help him.

He had kept his previous life pretty quiet around Brie. Brie had met the girls a few times in their four years of marriage and while they were cordial to her, he was sure his ex-wife was telling them some pretty wild tales about her. And to make matters even worse, he knew Brie sometimes wished they could have kids. But with his vasectomy he couldn’t father any. With a heavy heart, Bryson Harper worked the rest of the day trying to figure out what to do with Jack Muldoon, his wife, and his ex-wife.
*****************************************
Jack sat back in his leather chair staring out the window. He had just had a good conversation with Bryson and felt everything was falling into place. Bryson was going to be a good addition to his team and he would make sure to keep him busy with projects so he could give his full attention to his wife, Brie Harper. Looking at his watch, he noted the time and wondered when or if Brie was going to either call or text him. Was he wrong about her? All indications of the last two days pointed to her desiring more daring and kinky sex. Just the thought of fucking her in her own bed made his blood flow to his cock, causing a tightening in his trousers. If she contacted him, he would know she was committed to a great relationship. If she didn’t call or text, he would have to apply a bit more pressure. But for now he was giving her a chance to commit to him. If not there were ways to move her along.
****************************************************
Bryson made the decision to go home and deal with Brie. She definitely seemed unhappy this morning and he was a bit mystified by her attitude. Everything was looking up except for their sex life. But was all the blame on him? She knew he had some issues with premature ejaculation but she didn’t seem to want to help the situation. Lately, when they did have sex, she acted like a mannequin, rigid and unresponsive. After the act, she simply turned away. The tenderness in their marriage was gone. At least that was the way it seemed to him.

Entering the house he heard the television and smiled when he walked into the family room. The smile quickly evaporated when he saw Madison, Brie’s younger sister. What the hell was she doing here?

On the sofa next to Maddie (her nickname) sat Brie, her head on Maddie’s shoulder and covered with a blanket. From his position he could tell Brie had been asleep on Maddie's shoulder. Maddie’s head turned away from the Bachelorette show, her large brown eyes gleaming. “Hi Bry (her nickname for him). You’re home early.”

The figure laying next to her stirred and then Brie stretched and let out a yawn after having fallen asleep on her sister’s shoulder. As his wife tried to straighten up, Bryson felt a sudden sadness. They were supposed to talk tonight and maybe this was one of Brie’s tricks. Have Maddie here so they couldn’t talk things out.

Bryson ignored his wife for the moment. “Hi Maddie what are you doing here? Lose your way home?”

Maddie let out a silly laugh. “Didn’t Brie tell you?” The look on Bryson’s face told her he didn’t know anything about her being there. “I asked Brie a few weeks ago if it would be alright if I spent a few days here while my apartment is being repainted.” She hugged Brie and added, “she is such a sweet loving sister.”

Bryson’s eyes narrowed. This was just like Brie to know her sister was going to spend a few days and not tell him. What the hell else was she keeping a secret?

But when his gaze returned to Maddie, he smiled. “That’s really great Maddie. Your sister is such a kind-hearted soul.” His voice dripping with cynicism. “It looks like you two have already had dessert so if you’ll excuse me I’ll find something in the frig to heat up for supper.”

Bryson turned without a word to Brie. He had given up a night of work to come home and she purposely knew her sister was going to be here for a few days and didn’t bother to tell him. As he walked to the kitchen, he heard Maddie voice. “Sis what happened to your back? It looks like a cat scratched you.” Bryson stopped for a moment but then proceeded to the kitchen, not caring what excuse she gave her sister.
