Nicole gradually awoke Sunday morning and stretched languidly. She smiled when she looked over at her sleeping husband. Last night had drained him in more ways than one and he was still sleeping soundly. She looked to her other side and saw Beth smiling at her. She rolled toward her and the two women held each other close. Nicole whispered into Beth’s ear. “I have morning mouth something fierce. Let’s get cleaned up while we let John sleep.”

Beth chuckled quietly. “I do admire his stamina, although we did manage to wear him out last night.”

Nicole grinned. “You’re the one that decided he needed to fuck our asses after he had already fucked us both, twice.”

Beth just smiled. “I do love your husband’s cock. It is a perfect size, not too large, and definitely not small. You are one lucky woman.”

Nicole hugged Beth tightly. “Right now I want some alone time with you, right after we clean up.”

Nicole remembered fondly her introduction to Steve Bronson’s executive secretary. Beth had seduced her in his office and had helped her discover her bisexuality. A month had passed and Beth had become a regular guest in her and John’s bed.

The two women quietly slid off the bed and went to the guest bathroom. Shortly after, they were in the shower washing each other. Getting clean was an afterthought. Their primary goal was to build each other’s arousal. In that they were successful. Both were still wet from the haphazard drying off that had occurred in their rush to be in each other’s arms. They soon landed on the guest bed and were kissing each other madly.

The two women had been intimate for long enough by now that they knew each other’s bodies well. That knowledge meant that both were in a high state of arousal in no time at all. Their kisses became filled with lust and need. Without a word spoken they moved into a sixty-nine and began to lick and suck on each other. John slept through the resulting orgasms and the loud moaning that accompanied them.

Nicole and Beth spent an hour making each other orgasm and laying in each other’s arms. Beth eventually looked over at the clock. “Shit! I need to get going. Ed is awake by now and he will be anxious for me to get home.”

Nicole giggled. “You mean anxious to hear about last night.”

Beth laughed. “Yep, that too. He loves to hear about my extramarital activities. I thank God that he is accepting of my needs. I love that man so much. Anyway, I gotta go.”

Nicole pulled her into a passionate kiss that would have led to more fun, and Beth barely managed to pull away. “Stop it you! You know I want to stay, but my husband needs me. He is probably about to explode from the blue balls he’s had since I came here last night.”

Nicole looked up from the bed as her friend went to the dresser to get some clothes. Beth was there often enough that Nicole had given her the guest bedroom as her home away from home. “How come you have never asked us to have a foursome with you and Ed? Or a threesome with me? Not that I feel strongly about it one way or the other, but it only seems fair.”

Beth shrugged. “That’s not his cup of tea. He likes to live his sexual life vicariously through me. He has never shown an interest in being with another woman and I would be surprised if he ever did. The way things are now makes him very happy and I am not in a hurry to change that.”

Nicole watched Beth dress for a moment, considering whether or not she should say what she was thinking. She decided to be honest. “Isn’t he concerned that you would fall in love with someone else?”

Beth walked over to the bed. Her hand reached out and caressed Nicole’s face. “I already have, with you, and he's happy for me. It doesn’t take away from the love I have for him. There is room in my heart for both of you.”

Tears sprang from Nicole’s eyes. “You love me?”

Beth smiled down at her. “How could I not?”

Nicole sprang from the bed and into Beth’s arms. “I love you too.”

The couple kissed until Beth finally broke away. “I really have to go.”

Moments later Nicole heard the front door open and close. She walked back into the master bedroom and lay down next to John. She had a lot to talk about with him when he woke up. She lay there thinking and decided that there was no way she could go back to sleep. Energized by the morning sex with Beth, and her declaration of love, Nicole got up and began cleaning. When John woke up two hours later the apartment looked immaculate.

John sat down in the kitchen and Nicole served him a full breakfast. “I figure you needed this after last night. You were amazing, baby. Beth was very pleased.

“Speaking of Beth, she told me that she loved me this morning… and I told her that I loved her.”

John looked up at his wife with concern. “What does that mean for us? Are you thinking about leaving me for her?”

Nicole dropped onto her husband’s lap. “Of course not, silly! I love you more today than I did yesterday, and I will always love you. I wouldn’t let myself love her if it took away from you and me. You will always be first in my life. I think that a person can love more than one other person deeply. As long as everyone involved accepts each other. There can’t be jealousy or possessiveness. If there is, it won’t work.

“Look, I know that I just dumped a lot on you, but I really need for you to tell me how you feel and what you are thinking.”

John was silent for a few minutes while he thought it through. “I don’t think I could accept it if it were another man. I’m sorry, but if you were in love with another man, it would break my heart. I understand that Beth is a different story. I don’t feel threatened by her like I would if it were a man. I know that’s a sexist viewpoint, but it helps me accept you and Beth being in love.

“Still, your revelation scares me. I don’t want to lose you, but at the same time, your happiness is the most important thing in the world to me. Since this whole thing started with sharing you, my biggest fear is that you fall for someone else and leave me.”

Nicole kissed her husband’s lips and looked into his eyes. “The men I have been fucking are there for sex, not love. Even if one of them wanted more than sex I wouldn’t allow it. I do appreciate that Beth being a woman is different even if you are being a little sexist. I can only promise, just like I did the day we were married, that I will always be yours. Do you believe me?”

John got it. This was his Nicole. The one he loved, the one that his soul connected with, and the one that loved him deeply. Her heart had room for more than him and he would be a selfish asshole if he tried to stifle that. “I do believe you and I am happy for you, just please be careful. I wonder what Ed will think about you two.”

Nicole nodded. “When Beth told me that she loved me this morning she also told me that Ed knows and is happy for her. She told him before she told me.”

John knew that it was going to take him a while to fully accept this change in their lives. He would watch as time passed and would see if any problems developed. He knew his wife and because he knew her so well, he was optimistic about the future. He would do his best to watch as a loving husband, not as a jealous asshole.

John kissed his wife lovingly, sending the message that everything would be all right. The couple cuddled and kissed until Nicole jumped from his lap. “Your breakfast is getting cold. Eat up!”

John wolfed down his breakfast and sat sipping his coffee. “Do you have any idea what Steve wants tomorrow?”

Nicole shook her head, “Beth didn’t say anything about it while she was here. Not that I expected her to. Although, I am absolutely sure she would have if it were something bad for us. All I know is that he wants both of us in his office tomorrow morning. I suspect that he is going to have me fuck someone or several someones.”

John sat down his coffee cup. “On the one hand his hold over us has opened a whole new world for us and has made our sex lives so much better. On the other hand, I don’t like the hold he has over us. We are rapidly approaching the point where I tell him we are done, regardless of the consequences.”

Nicole walked over to him, “I agree. You and me babe, no matter what happens.”

~~~~~{}~~~~~

Beth smiled broadly as John and Nicole approached her desk. “Good morning you two! Let me tell Steve you’re here.”

Beth used the intercom to tell Steve that the couple was waiting. She then walked to the door and opened it. The three walked in and took a seat in front of Steve’s desk. Good mornings were exchanged, then Steve got down to business. “Nicole, I need your help. I’m leaving today for negotiations that will have a huge impact on our business. I cannot stress enough how important these negotiations will be for the future of our business.

“I need a beautiful woman on my arm that would be willing to help with those negotiations. Your role will be to calm frayed nerves, get a read on the people we are negotiating with, be the happy example of a company employee, and last but not least, have fun.”

Nicole interrupted. “You mean have sex. With anyone… Everyone… As needed? What exactly are you asking me to do?”

Steve didn’t bat an eye. “In reality possibly, any of the above, none of the above, or the most likely, some of the above. The choice will always be yours.”

He paused for a moment to gather his thoughts. “The security tape of your indiscretion has been destroyed and any associated paperwork has gone missing forever. You are no longer being coerced. In reality, if either of you had ever protested, I would have dropped the whole thing and we wouldn’t be here talking about this right now. I never intended to follow through with blackmail. The sole purpose for all of that in the first place was to see if you and John would be open to some sexual fun with the rest of us perverts. I had figured to use John’s promotion for that purpose, but you provided some easy ammunition, so I went with it.

“Was it underhanded, morally repugnant, and illegal? Yes, no doubt. Did it work? Ask yourself, were you happier before the alleged blackmail, or after?”

Silence held in the room for a few minutes before Nicole spoke. “Details please.”

Steve gave her a tentative smile. “We will have to leave in an hour to catch the executive jet. In the hope that you would agree to go, everything you need from new clothes to a toothbrush is waiting for you at the resort. You get to keep whatever you want of it when we are done. How long we will be there is rather open-ended. It may be a few days or until next Sunday morning at the latest.

“I meant what I said earlier. Your primary job will be as an ambassador for our business. You will be in highly sensitive meetings. I don’t expect you to contribute to the business side of things much since that isn’t your specialty. What I want is for you to read the room. Get an understanding of the needs and wants of the people we are negotiating with. Understand each of them as a person so that we can negotiate effectively.

“I have no intention of using you to bribe someone with sex. I don’t think I want to do business with someone that can be bought that easily. I certainly don’t mean to say that in a way disrespectful to you. It’s just that I know guys that can be influenced by one night of sex, whether it is good sex or not. Considering that it is you, after all, the temptation would be too great. They might agree with anything to get in your pants, only to back out later. What you decide to do is entirely up to you. There will also be folks from our company there that would love to spend time with you, including me, but again that will be your choice.”

Nicole looked over at John, then back at Steve. “John and I need a few minutes. Can we use your bathroom?”

Steve nodded and the couple went to the bathroom. Nicole faced her husband. “Well, what do you think?”

John took her hand. “I think I will be lonely without you and will miss you every day that you are gone.”

Then he grinned at her. “You do want to go, don’t you?”

Nicole smiled. “You know me so well. Yes, I want to go. This feels like it will be an adventure and you heard him; I get to choose. I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to. I want to contribute too. I really think I can help. So, are we agreed then?”

John kissed her hard, then took her hand as they opened the door. “Yes, and I’m sure you’ll do wonderfully.”

They sat down in front of Steve’s desk and he looked at them hopefully. Nicole smiled. “Yes, I’ll do it. Although I don’t like leaving John alone for that long. This will be hard on him.”

Steve nodded in understanding, then asked for a moment to talk with John about one of the critical contracts. Beth and Nicole moved to the other side of the room while they did so. Short, and dramatically different, conversations later, everyone was seated back around Steve’s desk.

Steve smiled happily. “I know it is a bit early for lunch, but John, why don’t you and Nicole get out of here for a while? I will expect Nicole to meet me at Security at 10:00 am.

“Oh, I almost forgot. You can use the guest suite if you prefer. Beth can give you the key.”

Beth, Nicole, and John stood and walked out of the office. Beth fished into a drawer at her desk and handed John a key card with a wink. “I’ll come and get it from you at 10:00. Save some ammo for me?”

John chuckled. “I’ll try, but no promises.”

Five minutes and an elevator ride later the couple was in the suite and in each other’s arms. Five minutes after that they were in bed. They made slow passionate love. Both trying with their very souls to show the other their deep and lasting love. They took a quick shower afterward. By then the clock had nearly run out.

John held his wife close. “Keep your phone with you at all times. Don’t hesitate to call for help if something doesn't feel right. Make sure you have Steve’s number on speed dial and call me every day at least once. I don’t know your schedule, so I won’t call you unless I don’t hear from you. Uhm… If I think of anything else, I will text you. Have fun and know that I love you and will miss you.”

Nicole hugged her husband tight. “I love you and I’ll miss you too.”

Nicole left the suite and walked to the elevator. She was torn about the trip. On one hand, the idea of some sexual fun had her excited. On the other hand, she didn’t like being away from John for even a day. She had no idea how she was going to handle not being with him for what might be nearly a week.

The elevator door opened pulling her out of her reverie. Beth walked off the elevator as she got on. Nicole held down the door button. “Hey you slut! I suppose you’re going to go fuck my husband?”

Nicole released the button and as the door closed, she could hear Beth laughing as she walked toward the suite.

As the elevator descended, Beth knocked lightly on the suite door. John opened it and Beth walked in. She had started to undress as soon as she knocked on the door and was naked within seconds. She put her arms around John “I’m here for two reasons. The first is because I am in love with your wife. I want you to understand and believe that I have no interest in stealing her away from you. I think we can both love her without hurting each other. Just so you know, I have a husband that I am very much in love with, and I am not giving him up.

“The second reason is that I have it on good authority that my boss is going to be out of the office today and I want some of your wonderful cock. Are my reasons acceptable to you?”

John’s answer was to pull her into a passionate kiss. The lovers had learned a lot about what each other liked in bed over the last month. They set out to prove they had learned their lessons well. Two hours later the satiated lovers left the suite and returned to their respective jobs. Fortunately, it was lunchtime. John closed his office door and stretched out on the couch for a nap. It was amazing to him how tiring his job could be.

~~~~~{}~~~~~

Nicole had never been on a private jet and was suitably impressed. She and Steve were the only passengers, and it wasn’t long before they were in the air. The attendant was a very attractive petite blonde with a wonderful smile. She got refreshments for them and, after a short conversation, left for the front of the plane.

Nicole finished her drink and looked over at Steve with a lascivious grin on her face. “You know Steve, I have heard good things about the Mile High Club and I was wondering if you would help me join.”

A tone sounded and the seatbelt light went off. Steve grinned back at Nicole. “Looks like we have a green light. Follow me.”

He walked her to the back of the plane and through a door. They entered a small cabin that could barely contain the custom-shaped queen-sized bed that filled it. Steve turned toward Nicole and pulled her into a deep kiss. “God, I’ve missed your body!”

Nicole laughed. “I’ve missed your huge cock.”

With some maneuvering, the two managed to get out of their clothes and onto the bed. Nicole dove for his cock, her lips wrapped around him, and she took him in deep while he was still soft enough that she could. He soon began to grow beyond her ability to contain him and she settled for sucking the head and licking the shaft.

Steve pulled her up and kissed her before she could make him cum. He kissed his way down her neck while his hand squeezed and caressed her amazing tits. Soon his mouth found them and Nicole groaned out in arousal as he sucked and bit her nipples. He continued his descent down her body, licking and kissing her as he went until he finally arrived at his destination.

His mouth found her pussy and they both groaned. Nicole from the sensation, and Steve from the joy of eating her pussy. Steve loved to eat pussy and set out to remind Nicole of his skills. Her hands held his head firmly in place as she rapidly approached orgasm. Her arms flew out and she had the sheets in a death grip as she orgasmed on his face.

Steve pulled back from her sensitive clit and looked up her body. Nicole eventually recovered her senses and looked down at him with a grin. “Nice start. Now give me that huge cock.”

Steve rose up and grabbed his cock. He rubbed it across her clit a few times before centering the head at her opening. A little push forced the head into her, and she let out a moan. Steve began to kiss her passionately as he slowly buried his cock in her. When she was fully penetrated the couple continued to kiss for several minutes before he began to move his cock.

Nicole didn’t think she would like to have a cock as big as Steve’s as a steady diet. He was just too big, and she knew that she would end up walking bow-legged. Once in a while though? Fucking awesome! She really liked how skilled Steve was at using it. He seemed to know when to push deeper and how fast to stroke into her. Just like he was doing right this moment.

Steve was quite infatuated with Nicole. He wasn’t in love with her, but he did care about her very much and her body was fantastic. He barely held himself in control as he slid deep back into her. Soon he developed a nice rhythm that was doing a wonderful job of making them both very happy.

Nicole was soon screaming out her second orgasm and within minutes was screaming out another. She was rapidly approaching her fourth when Steve slowed his penetrations. “I can’t take anymore Nicole. I’m gonna cum soon!”

Nicole kissed him hard. “I’m almost there, Babe. Make me cum, then cum in my mouth.”

Steve gave it his best and just barely managed to give Nicole another orgasm before suddenly pulling out and thrusting his cock into her mouth. Nicole was still in the throes of her orgasm and barely managed not to choke on his cum. Finally milked dry, Steve flopped onto the bed next to her. They snuggled close and exchanged kisses in the afterglow.

The newest members of the Mile High Club got dressed and left the cabin. After a short visit to the bathroom, Nicole sat down next to Steve. The attendant came back with fresh drinks and a smirk on her face. She looked at Nicole. “Are the accommodations to your liking?”

Nicole grinned at her. “Come here, sweetheart.”

The attendant moved next to Nicole. Nicole stood, and before the attendant could react, pulled her into a deep kiss. The attendant could taste the cum that had so recently shot into Nicole’s mouth as their kiss began to deepen and the attendant was seconds away from losing control. When Nicole finally released her, the attendant was looking a bit glassy-eyed. Nicole kissed the tip of her nose. “The accommodations were wonderful.”

The flight was nearly over and Nicole paid one last visit to the restroom. She used the complimentary toothbrush and freshened up her makeup. She sat down next to Steve just as the seatbelt light came on. They landed without incident and were soon in a limo rolling down the highway toward their resort destination.

Nicole was astounded at how plush the resort was. The front desk clerk handed them their key cards and the couple headed for the elevator. They were on different floors and Steve hurriedly told her to meet him at 2:00 pm for their afternoon meeting. He also told her where the conference room was. He stepped off the elevator and left Nicole with two hours to spend on her own.

She opened the door to her room and was again astounded. Her room was a plush suite with a prominent king-sized bed, a large living area, and a bathroom that made her almost drool at its extravagance. It contained a huge glass-walled shower and a jacuzzi tub that she couldn’t wait to try out.

She set off to find out what they had provided her in clothes and was astounded for the third time. The closet was nearly overflowing. There were business suits, casual dresses, and racy evening dresses. There were even designer jeans, along with matching super sexy tops. Sitting at the bottom of the closet was an extensive collection of shoes covering a range of needs from business to slut. Three new high-end overseas suitcases sat empty, stacked in the back of the closet. Two empty garment bags hung from the end of the closet rail.

During her exploration of the drawers, she discovered wonderfully sexy undergarments and more sexy nightwear than she could ever possibly wear in one week. There were at least twenty pairs of pullup-style hose. She counted ten bikinis comprising all the various levels of sexy. The nightstand held two tubes of lube, condoms, and a small selection of vibrators.

The dressing table held all of her preferred cosmetics along with perfumes that she had often wanted but would never spend that much money on. She grabbed the hotel stationary and sat down to do some figuring. When she was done, her best guess at the cost of treasures in her room was twenty thousand dollars! She was floored. She also thought that she should start packing now if she was ever going to get done by the time she left.

She took a relaxing soak in the jacuzzi tub and dressed in a flattering business suit when the time came for the meeting. Steve met her at the door to the conference room. “You are going to meet Denver Bailey when he arrives in a few minutes. The contract with Denver is the most critical piece of business we have this week. He lost his wife in a tragic accident a year ago and since then has lost his passion for his business. We need to reinvigorate his interest and pin down our contract with him. Honestly, I don’t have a lot of hope that this will work out. I’m afraid the man has given up on life.

“I want this contract for two reasons. First, I consider Denver a friend and I want him to be happy again. Second, this contract would be a huge boost for both companies. Watch him closely during the meeting. I would appreciate your insights into how to bring him back to life.

“As soon as the meeting ends, I will be leaving for an offsite meeting with some of my sales reps and won’t be available until tomorrow morning. You can call me at any time, day or night and I insist that you do if you feel like something is wrong. Don’t hesitate, if it doesn’t feel right, call. We will meet in this room all week. Tomorrow’s meeting starts at 10:00 am.”

They went into the meeting room and waited for Denver. He arrived ten minutes late and didn’t look like he much cared if he was there or not. He was a short man but carried himself with a bearing that belied his height. He was attractive with piercing blue eyes. He was pleasant enough during the introductions, although when he was introduced to Nicole he froze for a moment. He blushed deeply and stuttered his way through his part of the introduction.

The meeting went about as Steve expected. Denver was mildly interested in the details and readily admitted that the offer was a good fit for both companies. He hesitated to agree to sign the contract and promised to let Steve know by the next morning. He would have his legal staff look over the contract that night.

Denver sat in his chair in a funk staring off into space as Steve left the meeting. Nicole stayed in the room and sat down quietly next to Denver. “I don’t mean to intrude. Please tell me if I do. I understand you have suffered a great loss. Would you like to talk to me about your wife?”

Denver was hesitant at first. He hadn’t talked to anyone about her since she had passed away. He missed her so very much and his life seemed lost without her. He found himself opening up to the beautiful and kind woman sitting next to him.

Nicole listened patiently and with sympathy. When he had talked as much as it looked like he was going to Nicole had made her decision. “Denver, would you be so kind as to take me to dinner? I’m alone here as well and I could use the company.”

He looked at her sternly. “Did Steve put you up to that? Is dinner some play on my emotions so you can get that contract.”

Nicole had fire in her eyes. “Mr. Bailey! I’m struggling very hard not to be offended by what you just said. For the record, I have not been asked, coerced, or otherwise made to influence you. Steve has no idea I asked you to dinner and he won’t be back until tomorrow. I made an honest offer for your company at dinner and nothing else. If you aren’t interested just say so!”

Denver realized he was being an ass. “I am deeply sorry. Sometimes I get so lost in my own head that I say hurtful things. If you are willing to accept my abject apology, I would be happy to escort you to dinner. Say, sixish? I can meet you at the main restaurant. I will make a reservation under Bailey.”

Nicole took a minute. Not because she was pissed off, although she was, but because she wanted to see if he anticipated her answer. One look at his face told her all she needed to know. Denver was desperate to spend time with an attractive woman. He just didn’t know how to articulate his need. “Of course. I will be there at six.”

They parted ways and Nicole went to her room. It was early afternoon and she decided to call John in case dinner went long. She didn’t want any interruptions when she was with Denver. His need brought out the mother instinct in her and she wanted to help him.

John answered his office phone on the first ring. “Hello sweetheart how are you?”

The next ten minutes were an uninterruptable spewing of words from Nicole’s mouth. She told him about all she had found waiting for her when she got to her room. In infinite detail. John was zoning off when she got to Denver. He perked right up as she talked about the man and his sadness. John knew his wife well. He knew that she felt an obligation to help the man. He didn’t have a problem with that. In fact, he knew his wife could be the one person that brought Denver back to life. “Honey, you do whatever you think best to help the man. He could use the attention of someone as beautiful and understanding as you are. Just promise me you will be careful. Keep your phone close by. I doubt that he will do anything to hurt you, but it is best to err on the safe side.”

Nicole agreed readily and soon after that they ran out of new and exciting stuff to talk about. They said their goodbyes and Nicole turned her attention to the plethora of bikinis in the dresser. She soon found one she liked, changed into it along with the matching coverup, and made her way down to the pool.

When she arrived, she stood for the longest time just taking it in. The pool was immense. It wasn’t the standard rectangle or L-shape. It meandered through many curves that were dotted with waterfalls and the secluded grottos hidden behind them. It was without a doubt the sexiest swimming pool she had ever seen. Her imagination ran wild thinking about a strong studly man taking her by force under one of those waterfalls.

She shook her thoughts free and found a lounge that gave her an impressive view of the pool. Her dark sunglasses did little to give away where her eyes were looking. Over the next three hours, she watched the sexual interplay between man and woman, sometimes woman and woman, and occasionally man and man. She watched, speculated, and gradually got more aroused. The readily available drinks just added to that.

On any other day, in this environment, she would have tried to hook up with one couple or another. On this day she felt rather pensive. She didn’t want to have raw sex with strangers. Denver had touched her more than she cared to admit. She wanted to help him. She wanted to show him that life was worth living and that he could go on after losing his wife. She only hoped that she was up for the challenge.

Deciding that she had enough sun and alcohol, she didn’t want to be suffering when she went to dinner, she left the pool area and went to her suite. Once there, she set the alarm clock and settled into a nap.

She crawled her way groggily out of sleep as the alarm seemed to get shriller and shriller. Where the fuck is that shut-off button? When she finally found it, a sense of relief far out of proportion to the issue swept over her.

She dressed in the sexiest underwear she could find, and considering her options, it was amazingly sexy. She chose a dress that combined sex with subtle. It was low cut both front and back yet had an elegance to it that screamed classy. Nicole laughed to herself when she considered how much the dress must have cost. For that price, you should be able to have the dress do stuff for you like wash dishes or do the laundry. She wanted him to appreciate her charms, without her having to blatantly say, “Come fuck me.” This was all about him and accepting his grief. Throwing her sexual nature out there at the beginning would make him uncomfortable and might end the night early.

It wasn’t like she was looking for someone to screw. Far from it. She was looking to help this grief-stricken man and was willing to have sex with him if it helped. If it wasn’t meant to be, she was fine with that. After all, the main thing was to help Denver. She figured that the odds were that she would be sleeping alone on that Monday night. Her sexual side couldn’t help but think that since he was short, his cock probably was too. She slapped herself internally for even thinking that.

Five minutes before six she grabbed her clutch purse, double-checked that her room key was in it, and left her room for dinner. She arrived at the entrance right at six and after checking in was escorted to a table for two in a quiet corner. She ordered a glass of white wine when the waiter paused at her table and sat sipping while trying to think about anything except Denver.

Denver arrived fifteen minutes late and exactly thirty seconds before Nicole was going to order dinner without him. She almost laughed as he looked at first, surprised to see her. Then she could see the embarrassment as his face turned red, followed shortly thereafter by a sincerely apologetic look. Oh my God. I’m totally smitten with this guy.

Denver had settled on an apologetic look. “I’m very sorry that I’m late. I was on a business call and lost track of time. It was very rude of me, and I understand if you don’t want to continue.”

Nicole laughed and put her hand on his. “No way, buster. You’re not getting out of this that easily. You have to stay here while I make you even more uncomfortable.”

Denver answered with a grin that just devastated Nicole. It was so charming and so full of humor that it sent a shock through her groin. The grin also told her that he was a mischievous guy. There were depths to this man that she hadn’t considered, and she couldn’t wait to explore them.

They ordered drinks and talked about their interests and things they found funny. They offered each other examples of the funny stuff they had seen in their lives. They were laughing loudly when the waiter interrupted them to get their food order. By that time, they had been talking for well over an hour.

Denver asked her about John, and she readily talked about him. She told him of her love for her husband and how they had recently discovered that they enjoyed having sex with people outside their marriage. She told him that they had no secrets and that John had encouraged her to spend time with him. She could see the relief on Denver’s face. He had obviously been worried about her going behind her husband’s back. Holy shit, he’s honorable too!

Their meal was excellent, although it was getting cold due to the frequent interruptions while they talked. The free-flowing wine kept the conversation moving. By the time they had finished their meal, the laughs had seemed to wear off for Denver, and he was getting a bit maudlin. Nicole decided that he needed to talk it out, but this wasn’t the place. “Denver?”

He looked up at her with his sad eyes. “Yes?”

“Let’s go up to my suite and talk. I want you to tell me all about your wife, but I don’t think this is the place. Will you come with me? Will you trust me?”

When Nicole waved her arm at the waiter it didn’t take him long to react. He was more than glad to free up the table for the next couple. He could have run three couples through here by now and he feared that his tips would be horrible for the night. He needn’t have worried. When Denver signed the bill, he left the best tip that the waiter had ever received, by far. He wasn’t about to tell anyone because first, they wouldn’t believe him anyway, and second, they would try to bum money from him if they did believe him.

The couple arrived at Nicole’s suite. Denver was impressed with her accommodations and assumed that she was far higher in the company than he had thought. Along with being the sexiest woman he had ever been close to; she was one very smart woman. His assumption of her place in the company was off base, but his conclusion was right on the money.

She had him sit on the couch while she served him a glass of wine. She poured her own and sat down beside him. For the next hour, she encouraged him to talk about his beloved wife. She especially wanted him to focus on the qualities he loved the most about her. Then, she focused on the humorous side of their relationship. She knew she couldn’t make the sad times less sad, but what she could do is help him focus on the happy times. The times when their love bloomed, and they were the world to each other.

Eventually, it all got the best of him. She held him close as he cried, and the tears ran freely down her own face. After a while the tears dried and they looked at each other. Neither made the decision to do it, but their lips met regardless. They kissed romantically for the longest time, then things changed. Denver began to kiss her with need. His kiss told her that he wanted her in this moment more than anything in this world. He just didn’t know how to ask.

Nicole reached up and began to unbutton his shirt. He hesitated and his lips left hers. She looked into his eyes. “It’s going to be all right. I want you. Please tell me you want me too.”

Denver was torn by guilt until the truth finally hit him that his wife was gone, and had been gone for more than a year. Would she want him to be alone forever more, or would she want him to live? He knew that she would want him to live and what better way to live than in the arms of a goddess?

Nicole was very pleasantly shocked when Denver’s look changed from guilty resistance to lust for her. His next kiss was one of the most arousing that Nicole had ever experienced. His lips and tongue teased and aroused her until she was nearly gasping for breath when their lips parted. She soon discovered that grief does not equal a lack of skill. Denver made her body dance as he slowly stripped her and worshipped her body with his mouth, tongue, and hands.

His hand found her center and he began to caress and tease. He was still fully dressed when he brought her to an amazing orgasm with his hand. She had to shove him away before she lost all control. “I need you naked right now mister!”

She set out to help him by unbuttoning the rest of his shirt. He dropped his trousers to the floor and Nicole squatted down to remove his shoes and socks. She looked up at him as she reached for his briefs. She hadn’t bothered to look at his bulge. She didn’t care if he was small, she just wanted him. When she pulled down his briefs, a very long and thick cock fell out and smacked her in the face.

She couldn’t help it, she giggled. “Wow, I wasn’t expecting that!”

She immediately engulfed what she could of his cock with her mouth. She blew him tenderly and with much affection. She wasn’t trying to get him to cum. She was building his arousal and paying homage to his wonderful cock. Denver was entranced. No one had ever sucked his cock this way. He could have dwelled in the sensation forever, but he had other plans.

Denver pulled her to her feet and walked her to the bed. They climbed on together and he immediately moved between her legs. At first, Nicole was a bit disappointed. She had hoped for a little more foreplay before they got down to business. She needn’t have worried. Denver kissed her deeply, then began to worship her body. The minutes passed and by the time his tongue first caressed her aching pussy she was on fire with desire.

Denver seemed to know exactly what her body needed. He knew when to be delicate and he knew when to be forceful with his tongue. Nicole orgasmed explosively on his face. As soon as she got some control, she pulled him frantically up her body and kissed him as passionately as she could. When they came up for air she looked into his eyes with desperate want. “Please! I need you in me!”

Denver looked down at her body as he slid his cock up and down her labia. Nicole was ready to scream by the time she felt the head of his cock at her opening. He penetrated her with tenderness, allowing her body to adjust to him. He was as deep in her as he could go and still had cock left when he stopped his gentle thrusting.

Nicole felt a wonderful fullness. Denver’s cock seemed like it was made just for her. Then, he began to move and her world changed. Denver was a master at fucking. He knew when to be slow and easy and when to be fast and hard. It was as if he read her mind and gave her exactly what she needed. He brought her to the pinnacle and eased her back down over and over until they orgasmed together so wonderfully that both were speechless for some time.

Nicole lay under this wonderful man and realized that she had never been fucked like that in her life. It was one of the most intense sexual experiences that she had ever had. Her arms were wrapped around him and she held him with all her might. When they got their breath back, they kissed deeply and continued to do so until he softened and fell from her.

Denver rolled off her and onto the bed next to her. His head turned toward hers and they kissed again. Nicole curled up against him and they snuggled until sleep took them. Nicole woke sometime during the night as Denver entered her from behind. They started languidly, but that soon changed. They fucked each other hard and fast this second time and it was magnificent.

Nicole’s alarm went off and she managed to shut it off without throwing it across the room. Denver was chuckling while he watched her fight the clock. They showered together and made love one more time. Denver had her up against the wall of the shower while he fucked her deep and long. They dried each other off and Nicole dried her hair as he dressed. She walked him to her door and pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss. He caressed her naked body until they had to reluctantly end their kiss. Denver turned and walked out her door.

She met Steve at the conference room door, and he looked a little rough. It was apparent to Nicole that he had been up way too late, partying way too hard. He hadn’t bothered to tell her whom they were meeting this morning, and she had no clue what to expect.

When they walked in the door Denver was waiting for them. They sat down and Nicole looked at Steve expecting him to begin. Denver didn’t give him the chance. “Nicole, I want you to tell me why I should enter into this contract.”

Nicole didn’t hesitate. “I heard the same things you did yesterday, and it was the first time for both of us. It sounds like a great deal for both parties. The volumes we are asking for are well within your capabilities and wouldn’t require a significant capital investment. From your responses, it doesn’t sound like you would need to add headcount either. We would all see growth in our companies with limited risk. I cannot see a reason why you wouldn’t sign it. I certainly would if it were my company. It really is a good deal.”

Denver shook his head and smiled. “So, tell me really, what do you do for your company? You must be pretty high up there to be this well-versed in the nuances.”

Nicole smiled and held back her giggle. “Denver, you are a very smart man, but you missed this one completely. I am not an officer in the company. I’m just an occasional consultant for employee morale. I’m here this week to provide any insights I may have on the people we meet with. That’s it. I couldn’t tell you what the details of the contract mean. All I can tell you is what I heard and the opinions I developed from that.”

The smile that lit Denver’s face was beatific. He finally realized that the last night with Nicole was exactly what he had hoped it was. Two people delving deep into each other and becoming lovers. There wasn’t another agenda at all. His eyes fully open now, Denver considered her words along with the feedback he had received from his legal folks. The decision was obvious. “Good enough for me. Where do I sign?”

Steve was stunned and totally silent as he slid the contract across the table. Denver signed with a flourish and returned the contract to Steve. “Overnight a copy to me as soon as you have time. I need to get my folks started.”

Steve nodded and managed to speak. “Thank you, Denver. This will be great for both our companies.”

Denver stood and shook his hand. “I don’t doubt that for a minute. If you wouldn’t mind, I would like a few minutes with Nicole before I leave.”

Steve looked at Nicole in open curiosity, then left the room. Nicole was on her feet and in Denver’s arms in a heartbeat. They kissed with passion and affection. Soon enough the moment had passed and they stood looking at each other. Nicole spoke first. “Last night was one of the most amazing nights of my life. If I weren’t so in love with my husband, I would want you to take me with you. We can’t do that, but I can always be your friend. Please call me when you need to talk. You are an amazing man and I know that your late wife would want you to be happy. Please be happy for me if not for yourself.”

Denver kissed her lips. “Nicole, you saved me, and I will never forget that. If you don’t mind, I think I will take you up on your offer. I could use a friend to talk to.”

They exchanged numbers and Denver left the room. Nicole needed a few minutes to stop her eyes from leaking. She wasn’t sure if they were leaking from happiness or from the jumble of deeper feelings rushing through her heart.

Steve was waiting for her when she exited the room. “I don’t know what you did, but whatever it was changed that man from someone on the verge of suicide to the happiest I have ever seen him. Thank you for that alone. The contract was just a pleasant bonus.

He started to walk away. “Oh, by the way, I will never underestimate you again. Our next meeting is tomorrow at 2:00. They had flight woes and couldn’t make it in today. I’m going to take a nap. I’ll call you later to see if you want to go to dinner.”

He wandered off down the hallway and Nicole went to her room. She pulled off her business suit and wandered around the suite in her underwear. She got the coffee pot started and called John. She couldn’t wait for later, she needed to tell him about Denver. She spent the next hour on the phone with him. His insights were as always, the perfect thing to say, and his understanding of her feelings was so intuitive that she felt like he could read her mind. He again made her realize just how much she loved him. She had a smile on her face when she finally let him get back to work.
