Chapter 2

Fast forward eight years. Eight years of wedded bliss with a man I adore and who adores me. Fourteen months after we married, he put our baby in my belly. Crystal is now 7 years old and a second grader. As for Jim and Angie’s kids, Janet is twenty-four and married to the love of her life. Little Jim is twenty-three and in graduate school striving for a Ph.D. Angela never remarried accepting that there will never be an equal to Jim in her life. Her loss. Angie, I can’t thank you enough for throwing this wonderful man into my bed.

So, life goes on. I’m back to work, ending marriages and separating families. My life with Jim gives me hope that some of these families can be saved. But alas, no hope for others especially where blatant infidelity is a factor. Such is the case sitting before me, Nathan and Connie Baxter. Her first marriage, his fourth. Apparently from what I’m reading the zipper on his pants is automatic and unzips for anything with a skirt and a pulse.

For professional and tax purposes, I kept Cassidy as my business name. My reputation as a shark if need be requires that I keep my professional name. I am to meet with the Baxter’s today. Since he’s an experienced divorcee, he apparently likes to size up the wife’s attorney and wants to be at the meeting. I agreed so I can have a look at the enemy. Mrs. Baxter arrived at my office first. I have to say that she is definitely the magazine model type. If I was inclined to switch teams, I would hit on her. She was just that gorgeous.

“Connie, it’s so nice to meet you. I’m sorry you require my services but I’m here to protect your interests if you both decide to terminate your marriage. I understand there is a prenup that is pretty straight forward. You haven’t been married that long so basically you keep yours and he keeps his. Is that correct?”

“Yes, Ms. Cassidy, that is correct. I thought Nathan really loved me and I fell for his bullshit hook, line and sinker. Sinker being the active term. He forgot to give up sinking his dick into other skanks on a regular basis. He’s quite the ladies man. I’m a one man woman. I expect the same from my husband. Therefore, we find ourselves in this distasteful predicament. I’m a failure in my first marriage that I thought would be forever.”

My secretary showed Mr. Baxter into the conference room and I introduced myself.

“Hello, Mr Baxter. I’m Ellen Cassidy.”

We shook hands and he looked me in the eye, smiling, intentionally holding my hand a little too long. I felt a little odd as he made it a point to keep his hand and fingers in contact with mine for as long as he could until our handshake ended.

He said, “I’m Nathan Baxter. I didn’t realize my wife had such good taste in beautiful lawyers. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I understand my wife has filed for divorce after she mistakenly perceived I was having an affair.”

Mrs. Baxter yelled, “You slimy Motherfucker, perceived, HELL! You were pulling your dick out of her pussy that you had just filled with cum when I walked in on your sorry ass. So there was no perception, Ms. Cassidy.”

“It wasn’t what it looked like, Honey. Can’t you forgive me for that one indiscretion? She was a skilled seducer. I never had a chance. I’m so sorry. It was just the one time?”

“God, you’re so fucking pathetic. Not what it looked like? Let’s see, I walked in, her slutty red polished toes are curled and waving in the air, you’re between her legs and that cock you’re so proud of had just injected a significant amount of what appears to be pearly white semen into her sloppy pussy and was oozing out of her. Your dick was the only one I saw in the room. Now tell me it’s not what it looked like because unless my eyes were lying to me, you had just fucked her and put a load of your sperm in her. Jesus, Nathan, sling your bullshit somewhere else. Here’s the PI report, Ms. Cassidy.”

I scanned the report and said, “Uh huh ... Mr.Baxter, have you seen the report? It seems it was just the one time with seven different women in the last eight months. Not a particularly stellar way to start a marriage. You’ve been married only eighteen months. With your marriage record, have you ever considered NOT getting married?”

He said, “Okay, busted. I like women and sex but I love only one and she’s sitting in front of you. Connie, I love you.”

“Nathan, save it for the next stupid bimbo you’re gonna stick your dick in. Granted, you’ve got a beautiful cock and you know how to use it but I’m not into sharing.”

Mr. Baxter looked over at me with those piercing blue eyes which caused a tingle between my legs. Those eyes said, “I could fuck you senseless on this table right now.”

I thought, “Does this guy have this kind of sexual influence on all women?”

I had to get control of myself. The old wild child Ellen was trying to take a peek at this gorgeous hunk. I love Jim but I’m not immune to the “come ons” of a gorgeous man. I would never cheat on Jim but just being in the same room with this Adonis made my panties damp. I can see why he has no problem with the ladies, married or otherwise.

I cleared my throat as we broke our silent engagement.

“Okay, Connie, Nathan. Is there any possibility of reconciliation or is this a done deal for you both?”

“I won’t stay married to a cheating scumbag like him,” Connie replied.

“Nathan, she seems adamant that your marriage is over. Do you agree? From what I see from your history, we’re just prolonging the inevitable. You are not going to stay faithful and she knows it. I think the fat lady has sung. Do you have an attorney?”
