The odds were ten thousand to one against it happening, but I got caught with another woman. Not caught in the act, but close enough and the sad fact was that it was not my doing or my fault. Well, that isn't exactly true, there was a small window of time when I could have stopped things but I didn't.

What happened was that I had flown to New York for a business meeting. There was a company that was trying to get my company's business and while I was there they put on a full court press. I was wined and dined, saw presentations and was pumped full of bullshit about their product lines. On my second night there they took me out drinking and I guess I did more than my fair share because I woke up in my hotel room the next morning with an aching head and a bedmate. I didn't remember her from the night before, but when I woke up she was sucking my cock. It naturally responded to the attention it was getting and when it was hard enough to suit her the redhead climbed aboard and used me to get herself off. And I do mean "used me".

I was lying there with a pounding head and I was looking up at the redhead in confusion trying to remember who she was, how she had gotten there, and just what in the hell had happened the previous night. I'd never in ten years of marriage cheated on my wife and what was happening wasn't supposed to be happening. But I'm only human and the redhead had given herself an orgasm using my dick and had gotten me charged up in the process. I shifted my weight and rolled her over on her back and then I started working to get myself off. I didn't know if the redhead was a hooker that the guys had set me up with, but if she was she definitely gave good value. She kicked and cried and begged me to make her cum and I did my best. A couple of more minutes and she cried out that she was cumming and her legs tightened around me and she gave a series of short, sharp cries just as I spilled inside her.

I fell down on the bed next to her and was just getting ready to ask her her name when she looked at her watch and said, "Oh shit. I didn't realize what time it was. I have to get home and get the kids ready for school." She jumped up and quickly dressed in a black mini, stuffed her nylons in her purse and stepped into her four-inch heels. She looked over at me, "Thanks baby. I had fun and I sure hope that you did. I promised my hubby I'd fuck your eyes out to help him get your business and I hope I did a good enough job. Maybe we can do this again the next time you come to town."

She headed for the door and I got up to follow her. "Wait" I said, "I was so screwed up last night that I don't even remember your name."

"It's Marsha sweetie, I'm Tom's wife."

She opened the door, stepped into the hall and then turned to face me and said, "Thanks lover, until next time" and then she leaned forward and kissed me and just then two women walked down the hall and past my opened door and they turned to look. I saw the looks of astonishment as they took in the naked man and the obviously just fucked redhead and I'm sure that they saw my astonished look as I recognized one of them as a friend of my wife Randi. I quickly closed the door, but the damage was done.

At my meeting the next morning nothing was said about what had gone on the previous night. Tom was all business and if Marsha hadn't told me that she was Tom's wife I never would have known it. I didn't doubt for one second that she'd told me the truth because a picture of her with two kids was sitting on his desk. I can honestly say that that Marsha had nothing to do with the contract that I signed that morning since I had already decided to do business with her husband's company before we even headed out drinking. I caught an early flight out and was home by seven in the evening. I entered the house to find that bad news indeed travels fast. Randi was waiting for me when I walked in the door and the look on her face was not one of welcome. Before I even set my briefcase down she said, "I had a phone call from Wanda this morning. Is what she told me true?"

"I don't know, what did she say?"

"She said she saw you standing naked in the doorway to your room saying goodbye to some redhead. Is it true?"

Well, I had never before cheated on Randi and I'd never lied to her either. There wasn't anything that I could do about the cheating part, but I could make sure that I didn't make things worse by lying. "Yes" I said, "What she told you is true."

Randi burst out crying and ran from the room. I put down my briefcase and followed her up the stairs and to our bedroom and I got there just as she slammed the door and locked it. I could have opened the door by using a dime on the little button in the handle, but I thought it would be best if Randi opened the door on her own. I spent five minutes trying to get her to open it and then I gave up and went back downstairs.

I spent the night on the couch and I didn't get much in the way of sleep. I was up at six. I put the coffee on and then went upstairs, unlocked the bedroom door and went in. Randi was sleeping, or pretending to sleep, and I walked quietly to the closet and got the clothes that I would wear to work. I debated going downstairs to get dressed, but then I decided not to. Randi and I had to talk sooner or later. If I dressed for work downstairs and then left for work that would leave Randi to stew over what had happened all day. She still might not want to talk to me, but I was going to wake her and give her the chance. I thought that the shower running might do the trick so I slammed the closet door and dropped the seat on the toilet to prime the pump and then I climbed in the shower and turned it on. Randi wasn't in bed when I came out of the shower so I quickly dressed and headed downstairs.

Randi was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee when I came into the room. I poured myself a cup and sat down across from her. Her eyes were red from crying, lack of sleep, or both, and I knew that I had been right in trying to force the issue. If she were this bad in the morning it would be ten times worse by the time I got home from work.

"Are you willing to listen to me now?"

"Why? What can you say that will change the fact that you cheated on me?"

"I didn't cheat on you."

"Damn you, don't you dare lie to me. You admitted it yesterday."

"No I didn't. I admitted that what Wanda said was true. You ran away before I could finish." Then I went on to explain what had happened, all of it, including my active participation toward the end. "Did I cheat on you? No, I don't think so. I did not set out to find a woman and I have no idea of what happened before I woke up with Marsha's mouth on me. But I swear to God that I did not set out to be unfaithful to you."

"And you expect me to believe that?"

"It is true Randi. I've never lied to you and you know that. I could have lied to you yesterday, but I didn't. We both know that Wanda hates my guts and I could have said she was lying and trying to make trouble for me, but I didn't. I've never lied to you and I won't start now. The only question on the table now is can we get by this?"

"I don't know. I really don't know. Regardless of how it happened I feel betrayed." She got up from the table, "You had better go or you will be late for work."

"That's it? You just get up from the table and there is nothing more to say?"

"What do you expect? You tell me this story and I'm supposed to say, "Oh goodie. I'm glad that that is all there was to it" and then go on with life? I don't think so. Regardless of how it happened it did happen and now I have to figure out how to deal with it." She walked out of the room leaving me to watch her back and wonder if my life would ever get back to where it had been.

I got pretty busy at work and my problems with Randi, big as they were, slipped to the back of my mind and I didn't think of them again until I was on my way home that night. When I got home Randi wasn't there. Nothing of hers seemed to be gone so I didn't think that she moved out, but when she wasn't home by nine I began to worry. At nine-fifteen the phone rang and it was Randi. "I'm over at Wanda's. I'm going to stay with her for a few days. I need some space - some time away from you - to give me time to think."

This was not good news to me. Wanda did not like me one little bit and for her to spend a couple of days with Randi with Randi's mood being what it was did not bode well for me.

I was able to lose myself in my job for the next two days although I did spend my evenings wondering what was going on with Randi. The third night Randi's car was in the drive when I got home. When I walked in the house I heard the shower running so I headed for the wet bar and made myself a drink and then headed for the bedroom. When I walked into the bedroom I saw that Randi had clothes laid out on the bed - party type clothes. A few minutes later the shower stopped running and Randi walked into the room with a towel wrapped around her. I pointed at the clothes and asked, "Are we going out?"

"Not we, me. I've decided what I'm going to do about your infidelity."

"And that would be?"

"You had extra-marital sex and Wanda and I have decided that I should have sex with someone else to even the score. So tonight I'm going out on the prowl."

"You and Wanda decided? Wanda, the woman who hates my guts and who would love to see us split up is giving you advice on how to save your marriage?"

"You don't have any say in this. What you have to do is accept what is going to happen as your punishment. That's the price you will have to pay if you expect us to stay together."

I shook my head in disbelief and left the room. I could not believe that my wife would deliberately go out and pick up a man just to get even with me. The more I thought about it the more I didn't believe that she would do it. I was still trying to convince myself that she was bluffing when she came down the stairs. She was wearing a short cocktail dress and high heels. "You really going to do this?"

"Yes I am. You have to know that I won't tolerate what you did. You have to know that there are consequences when you do stupid things. Once we are even we can see if we can save our marriage."

"Don't do this Randi."

"What? You can do it, but I can't?"

"I told you how it happened Randi. I did not set out to cheat on you. You are deliberately going out to cheat on me and that isn't the same thing. You need to think long and hard about this Randi. You need to ask yourself if you really want to kill off our marriage."

"Well here's the thing sweetie; even if I believed your story about how it came to happen you did not push the slut away when you became aware of what was going on. Bottom line sweetie is that you let her have my cock and now I'm going to let someone have your pussy" and with that she was out the door.

I still didn't believe that she was serious. She was going to go out and have some drinks and stay out late and then come home and say something like "See how it feels?" At least that is what I hoped she was doing.
