Herb, Tricia and Me

"I would have thought that you would have wanted to talk."

"What's to talk about? You replaced me."

"That's why we need to talk Rob. I haven't replaced you. I could never replace you. I love you Rob. I know you are upset over what you saw, but Herb means nothing to me. I need you to give me a chance to explain. Can we please sit down at home tonight and talk."

"Why? You going to try and make me believe that it never happened? That it was just some big hallucination and I really didn't see what I thought I saw?"

"No Rob, I am going to try and convince you that I love you and that even though it did happen we can get by it."

"Not very likely Tricia, but I'll give you a chance to talk. Now if you don't mind I'm very busy right now so please leave."

As she got up to leave I was smiling inside. It was going to work out the way I wanted it to.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Tricia had dinner ready and a bottle of wine sitting on the counter, uncorked and 'breathing'. This was Tricia's party and I kept quiet and made her work for it.

"First Rob, you have to know that I love you. I have always loved you and no one is ever going to take your place in my heart. I want you Rob; I don't want anyone else and you have to believe that. Herb was a mistake, a bad mistake and I should have known better after that first time."

"Why do you say that? Why didn't you know better before the first time?"

"Because I wasn't in any shape to know anything the first time."

"Can you explain that so a poor simple minded soul like me can understand?"

"The first time happened when I was drunk out of my mind. It happened on one of my office visits to Dallas. After the meetings the office staff and I went out for dinner and drinks. After dinner we went into the hotel lounge and had more drinks. You know how booze affects me Rob and you know I usually watch my drinking except when we are here at home. But I was in a hotel with a room right upstairs and I didn't have to drive home so I let myself go and enjoyed myself. By the time the people from the office left I was well on my way to being blitzed.

"I intended going up to my room when the last of our group left, but that is when Herb came in and saw me. He was in town on business and staying at the same hotel. He sat down with me, bought me a drink and we sat and talked and he bought me another drink and then another and the next thing I knew I was on my back naked and he was doing me. I had no recollection of leaving the lounge, undressing or being undressed, just all of a sudden I'm looking up at Herb. Given what he was just arrested for, for all I know he slipped something in one of my drinks and drugged me.

"You know me Rob and you know how I am when it comes to sex. Drunk or sober I get into it and even though I didn't know how Herb got there my body responded to what he was doing. He did me two more times and when he finished I fell asleep. In the morning when I woke up he was doing me again and when he finished he wanted my to call in and tell them I'd be late so we could do it some more and I told him to leave.

"That night I skipped dinner and went to my room. Around nine I got hungry and called room service. When there was a knock on my door I opened it expecting it to be room service, but it was Herb. He pushed by me into the room and started undressing and as I watched I thought, "Why not?" The damage had already been done and I was curious to see what he would be like when I was sober. That was the start of it."

"When did it start?"

"When I got promoted and started traveling. It was on my third trip."

"You have been fucking Herb for a year?"

"Yes and no. It has been a year, but it has only been five or six times. Just when we find ourselves visiting an office at the same time."

"So the other night wasn't planned in advance?"

"No Rob, never. And I didn't go looking for him when I was on a trip, but if he came to me I never said no. That last trip he was at the airport when I got there and he talked the gate agent into seating us together. I don't have any good reason for it Rob, it was just something to do when I was away from home. Something a little better than just sitting in my room watching TV."

"How many times did you fuck him in our house and on our bed while I was in Dayton?"

"I never saw him except for on trips. I swear to God Rob, he was never in this house and I never did it with him except when we met on trips. If it hadn't have been for that first time it never would have happened Rob. I guess I looked at it like, "We already have, the damage is done, and Rob will never know." I don't care a bit for Herb honey, he never meant a thing to me."

"So that makes it okay? He didn't mean anything to you?"

"No Rob, that doesn't make it okay. I fucked up and I sitting here asking you to forgive me. I'm asking you to believe that I love you and don't want to be with anyone but you."

"That's a tall order Tricia and I don't know that I'm the kind of man who can do it. What you did hurt me Tricia, it hurt me bad and right now I want to hurt you. I want to strike out and make you pay for what you did to me. What makes it worse is that it is the same thing you did to me with Danny. I have something inside me screaming for revenge and I can't see any way on God's green Earth that I can forgive you while I feel that way."

"What can I do Rob? I'll do whatever you want to prove to you that I love you and want to be with you. You want to beat me? Go ahead and do it and I'll clench my teeth and take it. Go ahead Rob, take a belt to me; I'll stand still for it. I'm not kidding Rob, I WILL do whatever you want as long as we stay together."

"What if what I want is to destroy that beautiful face of yours so that no man will ever want to look at you again. What if what I want is to carve the letter "A" for adulteress on your forehead or cheek?"

She looked at me for several seconds and then she said, "If that is what it will take to keep us together I will accept it."

The thing of it was that I really believe she meant it. That was the first time since the whole thing started that I gave any consideration to the fact that she might actually love me. Not that it mattered. Her love for me might have been strong, but my love for her was gone. I stood up and she asked:

"Where are you going?"

"I can't stay in this house with you Tricia, not the way I'm feeling right now. I'll need some time to think about what I'm going to do."

"Please Rob, I'll do whatever I have to do, I swear I will."

"I'll think on it Tricia and get back to you in a few days or maybe a week or so."

She had a defeated look about her as I headed out of the house and God, but did I ever feel good about it.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I let her stew about it for five days and then I called her.

"I've decided what I'm going to do. The only way I will ever be able to live with you after what you did is if I do something to get back at you. You will have one chance and one chance only. If you do it we can start trying to put things back together. If you don't do it I'll get an attorney and start divorce proceedings."

"What is it?"

"All you need to know is that tomorrow I will be at the house at five-thirty and you will meet me at the door naked and you will do everything I tell you to do without complaint. Just one "Oh no, I can't do that" or an "I won't do that" and I'm gone. I'll see you at five-thirty" and I hung up on her.

The next day I was there at five-thirty on the dot and she was waiting for me as I had specified. I handed her a bag and told her to take it into the bedroom and empty the contents on the bed. She did it and found three dozen condoms, a tube of KY Jelly and a sleep mask.

"What's all this?" she asked.

"It has to do with your punishment. When you told me your story of how you and Herb started you said of the second night, "I was curious what he would be like if I were sober." That told me everything Tricia. It told me that you wanted another cock. You were curious about another cock that wasn't mine and you used what had happened the night before between you and Herb as your excuse. So tonight we are going to satisfy your curiosity about other cocks. You are going to wear the sleep mask with a towel over it so that you can't see a thing and six men are going to fuck you. Six men that you know. Six men that you see at social gatherings. Six men, some of them the husbands and boyfriends of women you know and you will be blindfolded so you won't know who they are.

"They have been told what you did and that you are a cheating whore and they are going to use you any way they want until they don't want you anymore. They are going to use your mouth, your unfaithful cunt and your ass and some of them might even want to use all three at once. That is your punishment Tricia; that is how I will get even with you. Every wedding, every funeral, every cocktail party, birthday party, Christmas party or dinner party you go to you will see men and you will look at them and wonder if any one of them was one of the men who fucked you and knew you for the filthy whore you are. Every woman you face will have you wondering, "Did I fuck your husband and if you knew would you still talk to me or would you spit in my face?"

"Some of the men who will fuck you have a close enough relationship with their wives or girlfriends that they can tell them what happened here tonight and why. Everyone has promised absolute secrecy on this so none of them will ever let you know who they are. You will see women and wonder, "Does this woman know that I'm a whore who cheated on my husband and then gangbanged six men? Does that woman know that her husband degraded me by fucking me in my ass or had me stand in the bathtub while he pissed on me?"

"I have no idea what the six will do to you Tricia and I don't care. They may settle for just pissing in your mouth or they may only want to gangbang your ass repeatedly, but whatever they do or want to do you will let them. One refusal on your part, however minor and I walk away. The condoms are for their use if they want your cunt, but your ass and mouth get raw cock."

I looked at my watch. "They will be here any minute now. Your choice Tricia, either put the sleep mask on or put a robe on and cover yourself."

She stared at me in silence and I thought I saw a tear in the corner of her right eye, but then she picked up the sleep mask and put it on.

By three in the morning it was over. The six didn't want anymore and Tricia was a fucked out mess. She had cum all over her body and her cunt and asshole were gaping canyons. The six had treated her like a worthless whore and had called her every derogatory name in the book as they used her. Her nipples had been pinched and twisted hard, her ass had been slapped and cocks had been pushed into her mouth so hard she had gagged and choked. When the last of the six had gone I told Tricia to take off the towel and sleep mask.

"I'm going back to the motel and check out. I want you and this room spotless when I get back and then we will see to the second part of your punishment."

"Second part? What second part?"

I held her birth control pills in front of her and said, "You won't be using them anymore. Get ready to be a mommy."

"But my job? If I get pregnant I won't be able to keep working after I have the baby."

"Other women find a way. Besides, if you are not working you won't be traveling and I won't have to wonder about what you are doing in your hotel room and with whom. Anyway, it is not debatable. We do it my way or I'm out of here. Are we clear on that?"

There was a moment of silence and then she said, "Yes Rob."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It took me an hour to go to the motel and check out. When I got back to the house Tricia was showered and had changed the sheets on the bed and had straightened the bedroom. I made a big show of flushing her birth control pills down the toilet and then I crawled in bed with her and fucked her twice before falling asleep.

Even though her cunt was loose and I barely felt the sides it was still a very satisfying fuck session in that I knew I had taken my revenge. How you ask? Timing, it was all in the timing. I needed Tricia to go on a trip, be with Herb and then come back at a certain time. And then I had to schedule things just right. Tricia made her trip, I did my "catch her in the act" routine and then went home and waited for her to return. I let her tell her story and then I stalled talking to her for the five days I needed to get just the right night for my revenge. If all my calculating and planning was correct the night of Tricia's gangbang was the most fertile night of her cycle.

When the six men fucked her I made a big production out of having her roll the condoms on the men before they fucked her, but what she didn't see because of the blindfold was each man cut the end off the rubber before he fucked her and when the night was over she never saw the modified rubbers because they were flushed as soon as the man finished. I'm sure she figured out that one or two might have broken; why else would she be so sloppy, but not to worry because she was on the pill, right? Wrong!!! I had been doctoring her pills for the last two months and she wasn't protected at all. I wasn't worried about me getting her pregnant because on my three-week trip to Dayton I'd gotten a vasectomy. Any kid conceived before the gangbang would be Herb's and after the gangbang it could be anybody's.

I made a big show of putting our marriage back together. I told Tricia that Herb and the night of revenge would never be mentioned again; that we were even and could get on with our lives. It was hard to pretend to be a husband trying to put what his wife had done behind him, forgive her and work to repair the marriage when it was the last thing on my mind. Tricia was history the day I found out about Herb and the only reason I was with her was for revenge. I'd never forgotten what she did to me with Danny. I had forgiven her for it, but I had never forgotten it. When Herb happened Danny came back to the surface and to paraphrase an old saying:

"Fuck over me once and shame on you. Fuck over me twice and shame on me."

There would not be a third time.

About a month after the gangbang Tricia told me I was going to be a daddy. I of course knew that it wasn't mine and given the timing it couldn't have been Herb's so the father had to be one of the six from the gangbang, which was the plan all along. I played loving husband and happy prospective father until it was too late for Tricia to abort and then I packed my bags and moved out. I told Tricia that I was sorry, but I just could not get past her cheating on me with Herb.

I got an apartment and then I sued for divorce on the grounds of infidelity and asked for the house, the cars, the checking and savings and half of her 401k and pension. Tricia got a lawyer and in our first conference her lawyer claimed I had no proof of Tricia committing adultery. I had no private investigator reports, no film or tape and no audio. It was a case of her word against mine and she was denying it and she was counter suing and she wanted the house, the cars, the checking and savings and half of my 401k and pension plus alimony and substantial child support.

I laughed and said I had all the proof of her infidelity that I needed in the baby she was carrying. I demanded and got a DNA test and it showed that little Sarah Anne wasn't mine. After that things moved along rather quickly. I got favorable rulings from the judge on a couple of things - he made Tricia pay my attorney's fees and all court costs, and I didn't have to pay alimony or child support, but everything else was split 50/50. We were each given the car we drove, but the house had to be sold and the proceeds split between us.

I saw Tricia in the courtroom the day the divorce was granted. She was crying when she said to me, "How could you do this to me Rob? I loved you."

"But not enough to stay away from Herb. If you had come to me after that first time and told me what happened we would have been okay. I could have gotten by one drugged or drunken indiscretion, but not a year's worth. Goodbye Tricia."

It was not the last time I saw her. We both still work for XYZ and I see her maybe three times a week and when I do I ignore her.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There was one other part of my revenge and that was what I had done to Herb. He was offered a plea bargain and he, knowing full well he was innocent, turned it down and went to trial. The jury didn't believe his story that he was framed and he was found guilty and sentenced to prison. Two years into his sentence I visited him. As I sat on the other side of the glass partition with the phone in my hand I could see the curious expression on his face. I smiled at him and said:

"Wondering why I'm here Herb? Simple. I just want the answer to a question. Have you been having a good time in here Herb? Was fucking my wife worth it?"

I smiled at him as the realization dawned on him and I hung up the phone and got up and left.
