Chapter 2

I was just a bit upset when I left Shala's place. There was no way that I could have seen what she was up to before I fell into her trap, but I knew that it had been stupid to play games with her. After all, I had been warned that she was trouble. I wasn't worried about what she had planned because there was absolutely no way that either one of her brothers was going to get to Elaine. Oh I didn't doubt that she would flirt a little with them when they made their advances, but that was simply the nature of a beautiful woman when men paid attention to her. But let them get between her legs? Absolutely preposterous. No, Shala's plan was insidious, but laughable and had zero chance of success. I'd have a good time watching her and her two brother's fail. The only worry I had was that they were lying when they said that if Elaine didn't fall prey to them they would destroy the videos and pictures. but I had an idea that might get me the incriminating evidence back before they could use it.

I had a friend who was a retired cop and who had set himself up as a private detective. He owed me several favors and I thought I could get him to help me out. I called him and he met me for lunch and I described for him what Shala and her brothers were up to. He said he would see what he could do. When I got back to the office Shala was waiting for me.

"Call your wife and tell her you are bringing a friend home for dinner with you. Tell her that my husband has been out of town for several weeks and that I'm lonely and down in the dumps and that you thought that maybe I could use a little company."

Shala could be quite charming when she wanted to be and she and Elaine hit it off right from the start. They were chatting away like old high school chums and by the time Shala was ready to leave they had already made plans to meet for lunch the next day. Over the next two weeks Shala and my wife got together a dozen times and each time the two of them got closer. I was pretty sure that I knew when Shala would make her move. I was due to go out of town on a three-day business trip and I was betting that was when it would happen.

At breakfast on the day I was to leave Elaine told me that if I was going to call her not to do it until late. "Shala has asked me over for dinner. She says she owes it to me to keep me company while you are gone as payback for the night we had her over for dinner."

I laughed and said, "Best watch yourself. I hear that her husband has a thing for white chicks and that they have a kind of open marriage."

"Oh really? I guess that will give you something to think about while you are on your trip."

"Oh, what's that?"

"I've never been with a black man. Who knows, it might be fun."

Then she laughed and said, "You should see the look on your face. Have you been taking me for granted? You think that little Elaine doesn't have a few naughty thoughts from time to time?"

"I never much thought about it so I guess that maybe I have been taking you for granted."

"What's the matter. You don't think that I could attract another man?"

"Of course you could, I just never thought about it."

"Well, while you are gone I'll try and keep my naughty thoughts in check."

I did call late that night, around ten or so, but I didn't get any answer. I didn't think anything of it because dinner out could easily run late. I called her the next morning and Elaine filled me in on her evening at Shala's.

"I don't know where you got your information on Shala's husband, but he was a total gentleman. One the other hand her brother was there and he was after me like a thirsty man after water."

"Were you having any of your nasty thoughts while he was chasing after you?"

"Why do you want to know? You looking for something to turn you on?"

"If I was sweetie, it sure wouldn't be that."

"What, the thought of black skin against my succulent white body wouldn't turn you on?"

"How did we get on this subject anyway?"

"You were the one who started it with your warning about Shala's husband."

"It was an off hand remark and I'm sorry that I made it."

"Well don't sweat it sweetie. I managed to escape with my virtue intact."

"Well you have a nice day love and I'll call you tonight."

"I'm meeting Shala after work to go shopping and we will probably stop and get a bite to eat, but I should be home by eight."

I called at eight-thirty, nine, nine-fifteen, ten and ten-thirty and eleven-twenty. When I got no answer I began to wonder for the first time if my faith in my wife might be just a little misplaced. I had nothing to go on except for the conversations of the last two day (that naughty thoughts comment was still planted in my mind) and the fact that she still wasn't home three and a half hours after she said she would be, but it was enough to keep me up half the night. And I rested none too easy after talking with Elaine the next morning.

"Where were you when I called last night?"

"Things went a little longer than I thought they would. Shala and I finished shopping, had a bite at Denny's and then we stopped at a bar for a few drinks. We ended up having several. I was driving and when I took Shala home she insisted that I come in for coffee. We had a few more drinks instead and then she took my keys away from me and had her brother drive me home."

"The one who was after you like a thirsty man after water?"

"Yes. He drove me home and helped me into the house and then I put on a pot of coffee and we sat and talked for a while and then he left."

"Did he try to take advantage of you while you were under the influence?"

"He tried."

"And?"

"Oh come on! I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself." There was a long pause and then Elaine said, "He did get a couple of feels and a couple of kisses before I made him leave."

I said nothing for a moment or so and then I said, "Well, I'll be home tomorrow around three. I call you tonight" and we said our good-byes. That night I called again several times and got no answer. When I boarded my flight to go home I was not the same cocky, "Sure go ahead and try to fuck my wife because I know she won't go for it" guy I was after my confrontation with Shala and her brothers.

I stopped by the office on my way home from the airport and found a message waiting for me from my detective friend. I called him and he told me that he had something for me and to drop by his office. When I got there he pushed a box across the desk to me.

"If the question ever gets asked on how you got these keep my name out of it. They got laws against sneaking into other peoples apartments and houses."

"Mums the word Mike."

"I could get you some good money for those tapes. You could have a second career as a porn star if you wanted."

"No thanks Mike. Do you think you got it all?"

"That I can't promise. They each have their own apartment and they each had a copy. I think I got it all, but I can't be sure. For all I know they might have a copy in a safe deposit box. How bad do you want to stick it to these guys?"

"What do you mean?"

"They taped their little talk with you, probably so they could cover their asses if you would have decided to call the law. It contains some pretty incriminating stuff and you could use the tape to go after them on blackmail charges."

"No, I couldn't do that. If I did Elaine would be bound to find out and that is what this is all about — keeping her from knowing."

"Well how about this then. I ran a Wants and Warrants check on all three of them. The woman came back clean, but both men have paper on them. They skipped bail in Kansas City on an armed robbery beef. I can drop a line to a few people I know and they will be picked up in a heartbeat."

"That might be the way to go. Let me sleep on it."

I was home when Elaine got home from work and I asked her why she hadn't been home to take my call the night before.

"I was home sweetie, but I had a headache and I was beat. I took three Advil, unplugged the phone and went to bed."

The next morning Shala stopped by my office and dropped a tape on my desk.

"For your viewing pleasure white boy" she said and then she turned and left. Our conference room has a TV/VCR set up in it and I took the tape and went down the hall to it. I hung the "Conference In Progress" sign on the door and then I went inside and locked the door. The first scene had the date of the first night I was gone and the time 10:15. It showed Elaine in a strange bedroom, naked and on her knees sucking the black cock of Shala's brother Anton. After a minute of slurping on Anton's log Elaine got up and moved over to the bed and spread her legs wide.

"Come on over here baby and show me what a black cock is like."

I shut off the tape and took it back to my office and put it in my briefcase. I told the receptionist that I was going to pay a call on a client and I left and headed on home. Elaine wouldn't be home from work until six and that would give me plenty of time to view the tape. I put the tape in our VCR and rewound it to where Elaine invited Anton to show her what a black cock was like and then I settled down on the couch to watch my faith in my wife be blasted all to hell. For the next forty minutes I sat and listened to Elaine make all the noises that I knew only too well as Anton fucked her three times and she sucked his cock once more.

When they were done and were lying next to each other on the bed Elaine said, "I can't believe that I just did this. This is the first time I've ever cheated on my husband."
