“You want me to make it ok for you to leave me?!” She sobbed, “Have you even thought about how the kids are going to take this?”

“Look Rebecca, this was all your dream. I never wanted to move to the city, I was content in the suburbs close to my family. Sure I told you to go for the job, but I honestly didn’t have any faith you’d land the job. So here we are 17 months later and our lease is up so I’m out. Don’t act all surprised, I don’t come home for you it’s been for the kids. And they’re teens now so they’ll understand. But I can’t stay with a woman I don’t love, am repulsed to touch, and is the cause of my misery.”

His words pierced her heart and shattered it into a million pieces. He was leaving her because she had taken a position in Boston as an administrator for a Fortune 500 company, one that had afforded them moving out of poverty and into a comfortable life. Sure she had put on weight over the past 20 yrs, 2 kids and the stress of life had added 30lbs to her waist.

“How long have you felt this way?” She asked firmly, he has quiet “Samuel you owe me that, how long?” She said with force this time.

“I was going to leave before your cancer scare, but that would have been really shitty of me to leave while you were going through the testing.”

Rebecca grabbed the edge of their bed, 7 years he had faked being a happy spouse. It felt like the air was being sucked out of her lungs, how did she not see it? Why now, why not earlier. The questions started to play in her head.

“Samuel, is there someone else?”

“Rebecca why do we have to do this, I want a divorce and that final. Sign the damn papers and pull yourself together, we’ll tell the kids over dinner.” He said with force and anger.

“NO! Don’t you dare try to change the subject, is there someone else?!” Rebecca yelled back “after 20 years I deserve that!”

“SHHHHH, keep your voice down; why does it even matter?”

“Sam answer the question, do I know her?”

“See Rebecca, this is the shit I hate about you. Why do you want to know, it’s not going to change anything.” Samuel rubbed his hands over his face “Ok fine, you want this. Yeah, yeah you do know HIM. Is that what you wanted to hear, you turned me gay!” He yelled in a quiet manner. “And I’m not ready to tell the kids, so pull yourself together and let’s get this over with.”

“Is it Luigi?” She asked while spinning her wedding band, the very one she pretty much bought for herself. How could she have been so blind, so weak, so trusting? “Answer me, it’s the least you can do. I don’t care if it hurts, I need the truth.” She pleaded “you owe me this!”

Samuel sat down on the other side of the queen bed they had shared, he let out a deep sigh “It is, I don’t know when it happened, I guess you could say we became best friends and then it was more.” Samuel had only recently come to terms with his sexuality and finally been real with himself about his lover. “I’m sorry Beck, I’ll always love you as the mother of my children.” He spoke gently to her “listen let’s talk with the kids and then you can look at the divorce papers over the weekend. I’m headed back to Luigi’s after dinner and next week we can talk logistics.”

Rebecca wiped her eyes, even now in the face of heartbreak she was still putting his needs 1st. She had perfected her roll as the caregiver of her family, no matter how broken it was, and need to be the rock for her children even when she was falling apart. “Damien is coming to dinner as well, so you can tell him as well. I know he’s your step son, but you practically raised him with me. If you think I’m pulling ‘happiest place on earth’ vibes tonight you can go fu€k yourself Sam.” And with that she left the bedroom and went to freshen up for dinner.

  • Loved at last   Where’d it all gone wrong

    Dinner with the family was interesting to say the least; Damien had meant to surprise the family and brought his girlfriend, Veronica, for Friday dinner. They had started to get serious and well let’s just say if after an explosive family dinner she didn’t run for the hills then she could be the one. Rebecca sat on her porch with a margarita wallowing in the events of the night. She wanted to text her best friend, but after several failed IVF the last was successful and they were on baby watch and this was her time to enjoy the calm before motherhood. Rebecca broke down sobbing as quietly as she could so her 2 teens wouldn’t hear her. After her first failed marriage she had vowed to herself she would never remarry, sure her 1st marriage was short. She’d gotten married at only 20 years old, her ex was much older and had groomed her for 2 years. The only reason they’d gotten married was because she was pregnant with Damien, which had propelled Rebecca into adulthood. Her 1st husband

    **Rebecca’s Point of view*** Some how it was Monday morning; after spending my days being Jess and Mike’s therapist and safe place. And my nights drinking copious amounts of tequila while taking long showers to hide my uncontrollable anger and sorrow. I look horrible, my head was pounding and I was dehydrated. “God I’m glad I planned ahead” I though to myself as I grabbed the electrolyte water and Tylenol I had put beside my bed. Damien and Veronica had stopped by both days, they’ve been my support. Damien being my first born and my only true protector in life. He and I were a team, when he was just a toddler he had stood between his father and I. “Don’t you hit my Mommy!” His little voice screamed as his body shook with the force he was projecting. As my memories are flooding my brain my eyes are starting to swell and my breathing is ragged, I’m doing my best to not cry aloud. It was during this time that Sam became my best friend, when I first filed for divorce he made sure I a

  • Loved at last   Retreat Island

    I spent the first 2 days on the island drinking, smoking the island grown ganja, ugly crying, and when I reach exhaustion sleeping for 10 hrs. Something I hand done in years because I need to keep everything perfect for Sam so he’d love me. I’d called all 3 of my kids this morning, Damien reassured we that everything was fine. Turns out he had contacted Lena this past weekend and Lena had arranged for me to attend a retreat of the coast of Croatia that was geared towards helping executives decompress from the stress of high demand jobs. An executive I was not and I love my job so I don’t find it stressful, but I wasn’t going to complain and knew I was in much need of intense therapy. I was moving past the sadness and grief and was spiraling into anger. I needed to let it out and at the suggestion of the staff I went to a kick boxing lesson with one of the staff coaches. I walked into the gym to find several young men, maybe in their 30’s working with a few other retreat guests.

    ***Henry’s point of view*** My cousin Lena and I were gearing up for a launch of our new executive retreat for c-suite executives in Croatia; she was good friends with the founder and CEO of the Fortune 500 company that she worked for and they had put up a substantial stake of start up costs as a silent partner in my new company. I wasn’t new to business, but after a mess divorce I had sold my company to prevent my ex wife and her new toy from having any shares. This was a clean break, she’d received a buyout and what I had spent 30 years building into a national brand was no longer mine. I’d come up with the idea for the retreat during my own post divorce spiral, I’d taken my part of the proceeds traveling the world and had found peace in Croatia. Beth and I didn’t have kids because she didn’t want them even though I did. But I loved her and agreed to live the childless life she so desired. So disappearing from the corporate world for the last 5 years had been a major transforma

I start to wake and realize it’s a dream, well really my nightmare. As I wake more I realize the ringing is my villa phone, let it ring. I’m in no mood after my session in the gym… the memories flood in of the gym, of shamelessly ogling Henry and the embarrassment that followed… The way he commanded me was what I had always wanted Sam to do to me… t

They showed me how to style my hair like I had always dreamed. And taught me how to apply a whole new makeup routine to accentuate the features I loved most about my face, my eyes.

Words can not express the gratitude I have for you and your team.” J smiled and replied “Bitch your gorgeous, you just need a little help remembering.

    Henry’s Point of View The car ride to the ferry was consumed by silence, however it wasn’t awkward, it was… an easy silence. Once on the ferry, Rebecca and I left the car and headed to the lounge. It was there over what I now know is her favorite drink, a margarita, that we start to talk. I let her know I was a divorce coach and doing some work at the resort. I let her know that Lena had hired me to be her personal coach, which was met with mixed facial emotions. She chuckled yet a sadness returned to her eyes; her face is like a picture book, no words needed. After arriving at the port in Split, we had a short drive to my favorite spot Dvor. I had only ever thought of bringing Beth here until now. The conversation flowed easily, but I couldn’t shake the sadness that escaped her earlier. “Henry thank you for bringing me here, this is probably the best dinner I’ve ever had. Do you have anything planned for after?” The nope in her voice that I’d say no. “Unfortunately, I do”

    Henry’s Point of View: “May I kiss him?” Those 4 words had undone me like I never expected; from the gentle kisses she placed on the head of my cock, to her running her tongue from the base of my shaft up to the head only to have her take me deep in her throat. I was unprepared for the mind blowing blow job that only fueled my desire for her more. I broke our passionate kiss… “My rules baby girl” my voice dripping with desire and lust as I rubbed her clit. With her leg draped over my thigh I had open access to her dripping pussy. Her moaning was the fuel I needed, lifting my hand from her clit earned me a whimper. Slap! My hand came down on her needy pussy, earning me the amazing reward of her “ahhh, mmmmhhhmm” as I suspected she had a kinky side. “Tonight is about your pleasure, not mine.” My domination coming through. I rubbed the slap making her moan more before slapping her sensitive pussy again. “I told you I’d punish you for breaking the rules…” my voice trailed off a

    Henry’s Point of view: God she looked gorgeous standing in front of me in a red lace with black trim bralette that her voluptuous breast we’re trying to escape. With a black patient leather miniskirt that hugged her body. Hearing her moan while sighing with relief from the release from the pleasure and pain of binding her waistline, had me wondering if this seemingly innocent woman had a naughty side to her.… no matter how hard I squeeze my throbbing dick, I find no relief… how does she do it… “Baby girl, how do you manage to be achieve greater beauty every time. Tell me, did you like the pain and discomfort from the corset?” A smirk on my face, because as I suspected my question would make her blush. She bit her lip while she rubbed her thighs together, I watched as her arousal started to coat the inside of her thighs. “Do… do you think that’s weird?” She asked timidly. I closed the space between us while letting out a deep groan; I put my palm on the side of her face and sli

    Rebecca’s Point of View From the moment I heard Henry’s voice outside the club I knew I was safe. I clung to him like a child, the fear I faced just moments earlier shook me to the core. At first I was taken back by the ferocity Henry held me with, but I relished the familiar feeling from the day prior of safety to completely break down. I left his arms and lap only a few times, each time making me long for his warmth again. It was comfort and security… he read my body like no one had ever done before… the power and force that he had shown followed by tender attentiveness, it was so foreign to yet I wanted more of it. After we settled into his bungalow, he asked me about the events of the night. I didn’t tell him that I was looking for a 1 night stand, but I had been pretty factual. He let me know he’d been sent a video of me dancing on the pole… I couldn’t help but noticing his massive bulge hat was straining near my ass. I arched my back rubbing his swollen cock up and down my a
