Chapter 8
Jack
I sat in the parking garage for the better part of an hour. Frozen in sadness. Tears rolling down my face. Ten years gone in the matter of a couple of days. How could she have been so easily seduced and lured away from our marriage?
It was just before noon when I pulled into my driveway. Just about now Krista’s flight is probably taxiing out for takeoff. I am deeply surprised when I see Jessie sitting in my driveway waiting for me.
“I’m not leaving you alone for the weekend Jack,” she announced when she got out of her car carrying a small duffle bag like the USAF uses as a “Ready Bag.” Big enough to put a couple of days’ worth of clothes in.
“I’ll be staying here this weekend,” she announces. “I even brought a bikini so we can sit in the jacuzzi and do some relaxing,” she informed me. “Unless you’d like to skinny dip,” she added with a wink.
I don’t know if it was the feeling of safety in my house or the fact that my best friend and coworker was with me but I collapsed on the couch and broke down into a sob. It was the first time I have allowed my pain to bubble to the surface.
Jessie sat down next to me and hugged me to her chest. I didn’t even notice that I was bawling against her lovely 36DD breasts. I felt her fingers gently lacing through my hair. Her other hand patting me on the shoulder.
I’m not sure how long I cried. It was a deep
cleansing cry that left me exhausted and spent. When I lifted my head, Jessie’s white blouse was soaked through like a wet t-shirt contest. So was her flimsy white bra. I was gazing down at two gorgeous, exposed tits.
“Now that’s a novel way to get to see a girl’s boobs,” Jessie giggled playfully. The humor of the situation made me laugh with her. It felt good to laugh.
“I need to lay down. I was up all night,” I told Jessie.
Now that I’m spent from crying, I feel completely drained.
“I’ll wake you up at 4pm so you won’t sleep too long and not be able to sleep tonight,” Jessie told me.
When I went to the bedroom, I couldn’t stomach sleeping in the bed my wife was fucked in last night. So I went to the guest room.
I think that I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I slept like the dead. It seemed like just moments later that Jessie was shaking me awake. “Time to wake up sleepy head,” Jessie purred.
As I rolled to get out of bed, I remembered that I was completely naked. As my body came into view for Jessie, she giggled. “No worries baby. I’ve seen naked men before,” she told me. “But not nearly the stud you are,” she added with a wink.
That comment did wonders to my self-esteem. I was feeling pretty low about my wife having sex with another man. Had I failed Krista somehow? Was I not enough for her anymore? Was that why she was seduced so easily?
“I can see the squirrel cage running,” Jessie told me.
“Don’t you for one minute blame yourself for what Krista did,” Jessie scolded me as if she read my mind.
“Who knows why she was seduced and led down that path? But she made her decisions all by herself,” Jessie pointed out.
“The video I saw was of a woman freely and joyously giving herself to her decisions,” she added.
When I checked my phone to see if I had any messages, I found one from Krista that she must have sent from the air.
Jack: I am so ashamed of what I did. I am so sorry for what I did to us.
How I ruined our marriage in a matter of a couple of days.
John played on the deep homesickness that I was not even aware of.
I lost sight of everything that was important to chase a dream of what I thought my life used to be and could maybe be again.
I will never forget you Jack. I will love you forever.
I pray that someday you will be able to forgive me for what I did to us… Love you- Krista.
For a moment, I again feel tears in my eyes. I know that Krista never set out to do this. But still. Like Jessie pointed out. The video showed a woman who was freely and joyously giving herself to another man even though she’d been married for ten years.
How that happened and why that happened is now a moot point. I would never trust or respect her ever again. She crushed the bond of marriage that we had. If she loved me as deeply as she is trying to say now, this could never have happened. That is the bottom line. That is how I see it.
“Take a shower and get dressed, I am taking you out to dinner,” Jessie announced after I went to get my robe out of the master bedroom. I was astounded to find that Jessie had changed the linens and comforter on the bed in the master bedroom.
“All fresh and clean baby. I even changed the padding under the sheets so there is no trace of her left on that bed,” Jessie told me.
I pulled her into my arms and practically hugged the life out of her.
Then she told me that she dropped off my divorce papers while I was asleep so they were filed today.
“As far as I am concerned, you are legally separated now. And as far as I can see, you are my man now,” Jessie told me then kissed me on the cheek. I was stunned as she stepped back and left me to go take my shower. Her man? She wants me to be her man?
I am amazed to find that I have a rock hard erection as I step into the shower. Krista was a very sexy 34 year old woman. But she could not hold a candle to Jessie who is 36 just like I am.
The thought that this stunningly gorgeous woman wants me to be her man is astonishing to me and quite arousing.
Jessie said that I am legally separated now. Does that mean I could have sex with Jessie if she wanted to do that with me? Would that create problems professionally. I don’t think so. I think having a relationship with someone in the agency would make more sense than with a civilian.
