All's Well That Ends Well

For those of you looking for sex scenes I'm afraid you'll be disappointed unless you like a couple of girl/girl scenes. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the story.

All's Well That Ends Well

Some people have inscrutable poker faces and some do not, my husband Todd was of the latter ilk. I could read him like a child's board book, especially when he was trying to hide something or when he lied to me. Thus, was the case at present. For the past couple of months, Todd had been hiding something from me and I had a pretty good idea of what it was, but I didn't want to act until I knew for sure what he was up to.

He had been pestering me to let him buy a motorcycle, specifically a Harley Davidson. You know those noisy fucking things with big fat dirty men, wearing sleeveless leather and a million garish tattoos. I was adamant that he was not to buy one because I didn't want my husband becoming some middle aged cliché or hurt himself in a crash. But as I thought about it, I didn't think he had bought a bike because I controlled the purse strings in our house.

The only other thing that I could think of was that he was cheating on me. This was definitely a possibility. Todd is very handsome, tall, in good shape and is a partner in the law firm he works for.

We've been married for a bit over 17 years and have two kids, Joselyn 16 and Jeffrey 14. They're both good kids. We've had none of the teenage angst you read about so much. Maybe it was due to the way we've raised them, because we always listen to their opinions and didn't patronize them. They're both honor students and are quite athletic as they both play soccer on their school teams and club teams during the summer.

As a matter of fact, their soccer playing is what opened my eyes to what Todd was up to. The kids and I were returning home from Joselyn's match one afternoon with her club team. The venue was on the other side of town, so we were going down a street that I had only been down a handful of times. As we were nearing a motel on our side of the street, Jeff remarked, "Isn't that Dad's car pulling in over there?"

The car was turning across our lane into the motels parking lot, so I pulled over to a point where we could see what he was up to. He had stopped in front of one of the rooms on the ground floor of the two story complex. He walked over to the office, went in and then about 5 minutes later came out again while tossing the key up in the air.

Now only one of two things could be happening, either he was putting someone up there for his firm, which was unlikely because the place looked pretty seedy, or he was there for a sexual tryst. It turned out that scenario number two was the winner because as he got to the room another car pulled up and disgorged a young, buxom blonde who ran into his arms to kiss him.

My immediate reaction was to scream out, "THAT SON OF A BITCH!" I looked at my kids and they both had their phones out videoing what was happening. Moments later, Todd and his bimbo went into the room. We sat there for several minutes with me just staring at that door trying to fathom exactly what I had seen. I was a little surprised that I wasn't feeling any sadness but was just full of venom and anger, and began thinking about how I was going to hurt the motherfucker!

Finally, Joss, who was sitting in the passenger seat touched my arm and said, "Mom, you'll be alright. Jeff and I will do whatever it takes to get you through this. Okay?"

I looked at my beautiful children and said, "Thank you. We should get home and start planning for the future."

The drive home was silent as the three of us were wrapped up in our own thoughts. When we got home the kids went to their rooms while I sat in the kitchen just staring at nothing. I was startled when my phone rang, so I picked it up to see my best friend Mavis was calling. That brought a smile to my face, so I answered.

"Hey Mavis."

"Hey yourself. What are you up to?"

I chuckled and said, "Not much, just sitting here trying to figure out how to get revenge on my piece of shit husband for cheating on me!"

Mavis screamed out, "SAY WHAT??!!"

I described the scene from earlier. Mavis then said, "I'll be right over!" She lived just down the street and must have run over to our place because it seemed that she was there in a matter of moments while breathing heavily. She hugged me and said, "I'm so sorry. You can count on me to help you in any way I can. I'll give you an alibi if you decide to shoot the cocksucker!"

I laughed and said, "Thanks, but I want to make the prick suffer."

She laughed and said, "That's my girl. So, you're absolutely sure about what you saw?"

"I am." I then turned and yelled, "Joss! Jeff! Aunty Mavis is here. I want to show her your videos!"

I could hear two sets of feet trundling downstairs as both kids made an appearance. They both loved Mavis and have known her their entire lives, ergo the 'Aunty' moniker. Joss played her video which showed Todd walking from the office until the two went into the room. Jeff's video showed some of the same stuff but focused on the woman and then her car.

When the videos were done, Mavis thanked each of them and then said, "I want you guys to be strong for your Mom, she's going through some pretty heavy stuff here and will need all of your love." She then turned back to me and said, "Do you have any idea who the slut is?" Both kids giggled, so Mavis apologized for her language.

We all went to sit in the kitchen to talk about things. Jeff, bless him, got drinks for all of us as we talked. Mavis then said, "I trust you're going to divorce his ass?" I nodded, so she continued, "I have a friend who is purported to be the best divorce lawyer in town. Her name is Ava Angel, but don't be fooled by her name or her looks because she is the devil in disguise!"

I smiled and said, "She sounds like the kind of attorney I need. Give me her number and I'll call her tomorrow."

"I'll go with you when you see her," Mavis said. "All of you should act as though you know nothing about his philandering because I'm sure Ava will want to get as much dirt as possible on dickhead." Again my kids giggled and again Mavis apologized. Finally she said, "Why don't you two air drop your videos to me and your Mom, so we have copies in multiple places.

As Mavis left, I thanked her for being my friend and for her help. The kids sat in the kitchen talking to me while I made dinner, something that rarely happened since they hit their teen years. Though we had a good relationship, the kids drifted into their own worlds while at home like most teenagers do. It was kind of sad that it took their father's cheating to draw them out of their rooms.

As Todd arrived home, I reminded the kids to keep up normal appearances which they agreed to do. During dinner, Joss asked Todd, "So, how was your day today Dad? Did you do anything exciting?"

I almost laughed as he got that guilty look on his face when he was covering up for something. He replied, "No, just the same old thing. How about you?"

Jos laughed and said, "Well, yeah. We won our soccer match today and on the drive home we saw a couple of dogs mating in a parking lot. It was quite a sight."

Jeff, who was struggling not to crack up, said, "Yeah, they were doing it right out in the open! This big old fat dog was trying to hump this little young thing!"

Of course Todd was oblivious to the true meaning of what the kids were saying. After dinner, everyone went their separate ways. The kids to their rooms, Todd to his computer and me to the kitchen to do the dishes. When I had the kitchen clean, I sat down with my laptop to work on my latest novel.

My stock in trade is romance novels. I have written five and they have all sold very well so far. As I stared at my screen, the words just wouldn't come because I was too focused on my marriage. So, I decided to think about how I was going to get my revenge. The first thing that came to mind was getting a revenge fuck, but that didn't appeal to me at all because, frankly, I was pretty anti-man at the moment.

Then it dawned on me, I'd self-publish a book with all of the gory details of Todd's behaviors as they developed. I started typing away with what all had happened so far during the day so I'd remember everything when I actually sat down to write the book. I thought I'd give it to everyone I knew and to Todd's bosses and his family. With that decision made I went up to bed to read before sleeping.

The next morning I called Ava Angel to arrange for an appointment. Her receptionist said she had an opening at 1pm, so I called Mavis and told her we should go to lunch before the appointment. Our lunch was nice and then we went to Ms. Angel's office. We were ushered into her office and were greeted by a beautiful woman who would have made a perfect angel. She had very blond hair, bright blue eyes, a glamorous face and a sensational body! If I batted for the other team, I would have been tempted to pursue her.

After they hugged each other, Mavis introduced us using just first names. We were invited to sit on a couch while Ava sat in a chair. We were brought bottles of water and a carafe of coffee with cups by the receptionist. When that was all done, Ava sat back and asked, "So, Myra, what can I do for you?"

I smiled and said, "I believe my husband is cheating on me, so I'd like to dump his ass and take him for everything."

Ava chuckled and said, "Okay, we can do that, but we'd need tangible proof of his philandering. Do you have any proof?"

I pulled out my phone and played both of the kids videos for her. When they finished she smiled like the cat that got the cream and said, "This is a good start, but if you want to go for the jugular we'll need something more explicit. Something with he and his girlfriend actually doing the dirty. Would you mind if I call in my investigator to join us?" I told her I had no problem with it, so she called her person in.

While we waited, Ava asked what my definition of taking everything was, so I replied, "I want sole custody of my kids with limited visitation, I want to make him very broke, I want him to lose his job and I want him to be the laughing stock of the city."

Ava laughed and said, "Well, I can help with the first three items and can give you fodder for the last one."

At about this time another drop dead gorgeous young woman entered the office. Mavis and I were introduced to Katie, Ava's investigator. She was brought up to speed on our discussion and was shown the videos that I had. She asked if I had noticed any patterns in my husband's behavior, things like working later than normal, working weekends, stuff like that. So I replied, "To tell you the truth, I had noticed, well, you're going to laugh but my husband has the worst poker face and I had noticed he had been looking sort of guilty for the past month. He would try to be all jolly with me and the kids, but there was his tell that led me to believe he was up to something. But other than discovering his liaison at that motel, I haven't noticed perfume, or makeup on his clothes."

Katie smiled and said, "I'd like to stake him out for 2 weeks in order to get some really good naughty pics and videos. Some of it won't be admissible in court, but would be useful to you when you confront him. It will cost you extra money, but I think we can make it worth it in the long run. So, what's your husband's full name and where does he work?"

"His name is Todd Madison and he works at Dewey, Cheatem and Howe. He's a partner there."

Ava was busy writing something and then she jerked her head up and asked, "Are you Myra Madison the writer?"

I grinned and said, "I am."

Ava smiled and said, "I love your books! I have every one of them and can't wait for the next one!"

Katie chimed in and said, "I love your work as well! If I brought my copies in would you sign them for me?"

I laughed and said, "I'll do you one better. I have boxes of the first editions of all my books and I'll give you signed copies of each one to both of you. Are any others here that like my books?"

Ava laughed and said, "All of us love your books. Would you like to meet the others?" I agreed, so Ava left the office to round up the others that worked there. I heard some squeals of excitement and then Ava returned with four other women. Mavis and I were introduced to everyone and when intros were done, I said, "I want to thank you all in advance for the work you'll be doing for me."

When it was just Ava and Katie left with Mavis and I, I said, "In answer to your comment earlier, Katie, money is not a problem."

Ava then said, "Okay great! Katie you go do your thing and bring us back some juicy stuff so we can nail Todd's balls to the barn door! We will need you, Myra, to fill in a bunch of paperwork and leave a retainer."

I took care of all the paperwork needed and paid the retainer. As we were leaving and I was shaking Ava's hand, I asked, "Is it possible to sue for breach of contract and/or fraud? I have a signed copy of the vows that Todd made to me. He thought it would be cute, being a lawyer and everything, to treat our vows like a contract."

Ava looked at me and asked, "Seriously, he made his vows to you a contract? What an idiot! Yes, if your vows are a contract, you can sue him for breaking the terms of that contract. Do you still have it?"

"I do. It's in our wedding album with all of our pictures. We both signed each of ours and had our maid of honor and best man witness the signing. I'll bring them in to you tomorrow."

As Mavis and I drove home, she asked, "So, what did you think of Ava?"

I smiled and said, "I like her, I think she'll work out fine. After all, you can't go wrong with a fan of Myra Madison!"

When I got home, I sat down with my computer and began recording my meeting with Ava and Katie. I typed in everything we discussed and then sat pondering for a couple of minutes. I was wondering if I could find any dirt on Todd's computer, so I went into his little office, fired up his computer, found his list of passwords in his top drawer and proceeded to examine things closely.

I found a file with several sub-files with different women's names on them. As I checked each of those files I found emails that he sent back and forth with each woman. The first one was dated back 5 years ago and they were all steamy. They would discuss things they would like to do to each other, things they enjoyed from an earlier tryst and where they would meet and what time their next encounter would be. I downloaded all of his correspondence to several flash drives, one for each woman.

I continued digging around and found a whole bunch of picture files. There were a handful of the kids and me, but the rest were of a bunch of women as they had his cock in their mouth, with his cock either in a pussy or ass as he took them doggy style and a few with him getting fucked by several men!

After a while, I just sat back staring at his screen wondering why I hadn't seen all of this happening. Perhaps he didn't feel guilty about cheating on us. Maybe he was planning something else, like dumping me and the kids. That would explain his guilty looks lately. So, I went back and read his latest correspondence with someone named Chloe.

Todd and Chloe's correspondence revealed that he was planning to leave us for her. He said he would need a month or so to hide some assets to keep me from getting my hands on them in a divorce. He had also rented an apartment where they were going to spend a week together while he told me he was in New York for meetings with a client.

Fuck, I was so angry I just wanted to kill the bastard. I would have been more than happy to watch the fucker slowly bleed to death, but being a Mom sort of precludes me from doing such things, but I could dream!

Okay, so now I needed to find out where he might be hiding assets. I screened his computer thoroughly and found some of the answers I was looking for. I saw that he had a separate bank account and a separate credit card in a different bank. I rechecked his password list and found his passwords for each account. I copied everything to several thumb drives and made a copy of his password sheet to give to Ava along with our wedding vows tomorrow.

Later on that afternoon, I sat down with the kids and said, "I think it's important to keep you up to date with everything that is being discovered and is happening. So, for starters I saw the lawyer that Aunty Mavis recommended. I liked her a lot and I think she'll do wonderful things for us."

Joss said, "Good for you Mom."

I smiled and said, "There's more. I was able to get on your Dad's computer and discovered a lot of information. For starters, he's had sex with several different people over the last 5 years and, apparently, he has been preparing to divorce me by the end of this month to be with, I assume, the girl we caught him with. He has tried to hide money with which to start his new life, which I have found. I'll give all of the information to our attorney.

"Now, the investigator that is going to try and get some video and photos of your Dad cheating said she would like 2 weeks, so we are going to have to keep up the charade of a happy family. I know this is a strain on the two of you, but I beg you to keep it together for just a little while longer. Okay?"

They both nodded and then Joss said, "Jeff and I have been talking and there is a demand that we have. We don't want that man to be referred to as our Dad or father. A real Dad wouldn't do what he's doing, so as far as we're concerned he's just a sperm donor at this point. Also, you said that he's had sex with several other 'people', what did you mean by that? Why didn't you just say several other women?"

I had to chuckle to myself because my daughter was one sharp cookie. Jeff commented that he noticed that too, so I said, "Well, I found pictures on his computer of him having sex with some men, so, yeah, people."

Their reaction was predictable as Joss cried out 'Ewww!' and Jeff asked, 'Is he gay now?'

"No, apparently your sperm donor is bisexual, I guess. It would seem that he'll fuck anyone. I wonder if sheep are safe from him?"

The kids broke out in gales of laughter for several minutes. When they calmed down, Jeff said, "We've never heard you ever use the 'F-word' before. We didn't think you even knew that word!"

I smiled and said, "Sometimes it's the right word for certain situations. You'd be surprised by the words that I know, after all, I am a writer."

They sat and talked to me while I made supper again. We had a wonderful time talking and I hoped we would continue doing this. When Todd pulled into the garage, I told the kids that they were welcome to disappear as much as they wanted to while he was home. They both hugged, kissed and thanked me as they headed for their rooms.

I gave Todd my usual greeting as he walked in the kitchen as he asked his usual 'What's for dinner?' as he gave me a peck on the cheek. I couldn't help but wonder whose pussy or what cock had touched his lips this day. The thought caused me to shiver in disgust. But I managed to keep up appearances.

After dinner, the kids made a beeline for their rooms while Todd went to his computer. It used to irk me that he would do that instead of hangout with me, but now I was happy I didn't have to interact with him until bedtime. When we got into bed, he made a point of telling me how tired he was, which, again, pleased me because I didn't want him touching me. He did kiss my cheek, told me that he loved me and turned over to sleep. I thought to myself, 'Yeah, some love.'

The next morning I took the thumb drives and our vows to Ava's office. I told her what I had found on Todd's computer which caused her to say, "Damn, for an attorney your husband is a blithering idiot. Who in his right mind would leave stuff like that on a home computer where anyone could access it? This divorce is going to be a slam dunk, especially if Katie gets some juicy pics and video!"

The kids and I managed to act as though nothing was amiss whenever Todd was home. He told me he had to go out of town for a meeting with a client, which I knew was really his assignation with his Bimbo at his new apartment. I called Ava so she could notify Katie of what Todd was up to.

Finally, a week and a half after I first met her, Ava called and asked me to come to her office. I asked Mavis to come with me, so as we entered we were greeted by Ava who had a big smile on her face. We were led to a conference room which had beverages and snacks on the table and a large screen TV at the far end of the room.

When we were seated, Ava said, "Okay, Katie has done stellar work and has come up with enough dirt on your husband to make my job quite easy. He was never very discreet because he left windows open with no shades drawn. Katie was able to get all sorts of material from his so called 'business trip'. Probably the weirdest thing he got up to was having a threesome with his current squeeze, who happens to be his PA, and a man he's had an ongoing relationship with as detailed in the thumb drive you gave me.

"We were able red flag an off shore account and instructed the bank to freeze it due to pending legal action against the owner. I don't know if you'll be surprised or not by the amount in the account, but it is holding about $4 million in assets."

I was shocked and asked, "Where the fuck did he get his hands on that much money?"

Ava laughed and said, "The IRS is asking that same question, since he only pulls in around $250,000 per year."

I was shown pictures of Todd with his bimbo and boyfriend which just pissed me off even more. After a few minutes of the pictures, Ava asked, "So, when would you like to drop the bomb?"

I laughed and asked, "Would yesterday be too soon? Seriously, as soon as possible. I have one request, can you have him served at his little love nest? I'd love to see his little secret get blown up in his face."

Ava laughed and said, "Perfect. There are a couple of bonus issues that will work in your favor if you'd like to pursue them. The first one is that his law firm has a very strict rule about coworkers having sexual relationships. As I told you the woman he has been with is his PA and the man is a clerk in their office; a big no-no especially for a partner in the firm. We can sue the firm for allowing these relationships to go on unchecked. Katie has pictures of he and the woman kissing and hugging in public areas of their office.

"Additionally, I spoke with a lawyer friend that specializes in contract law and he says that the 'contract vows' are a legal document since you both signed them, so you can sue him for breach of contract."

I laughed and said, "Great, let's do it all. I want to see the cocksucker left destitute! When can we drop the bombs?"

"We'll have him served tomorrow!"

I was handed several things to sign and then Mavis and I went to lunch. As we ate she said, "You know, you should have all of the locks on your doors changed and take care of your money, so the asshole can't get his hands on it. Generally, I think the court frowns on other than a 50/50 split with the initial separation. You should get cash in case the court freezes all assets."

"You're right, I should be prepared for anything that may come up. By the way, I want to thank you Mavis for all of your support. You have made this ordeal tolerable through your friendship."

She smiled and said, "That's what friends do for each other." The two of us hugged when we got to my place and then she walked home down the street.

When the kids got home from school, I had snacks ready for them and asked them to sit with me in the kitchen. When I had their attention, I said, "Just so you know, your fath... er, uh, sperm donor is going to be served divorce papers tomorrow at his little secret love nest. Additionally, I'm going to sue him for breach of contract for breaking the vows he made to me, since he made it a contract. Also, his law firm has very strict rules concerning the sexual behavior of their employees, so we're going to sue them for not enforcing those rules. With me so far?"

Both kids nodded, so I continued. "It has come to light that he has accrued over $4 million in assets that he has tried to hide in various places. However, the most important thing is that I have requested sole custody with very restrictive visitation rights to your sperm donor. So, any questions?"

Jeff looked to Joss and after a few moments she asked, "Will we have to be with him when he has visitation? Neither one of us wants to talk to him ever again."

"I'm not sure to be honest. My guess would be you would have to since it's a legal right he has. I'll ask Ava when I talk to her next. Anything else?" Neither kid said anything, so I said, "Tomorrow may get a little weird after your father has been served, so I want you to stay with Aunty Mavis tomorrow night, okay?"

Jeff shook his head and said, "Mom, that first day when we caught him with that woman, we said we would stand by you, so we will be here for you tomorrow and everyday after that!"

I was flabbergasted by Jeff's pronouncement. I looked at Joss and saw her nod in affirmation, so I got up out of my chair and pulled my kids into a bone crushing hug as I began to cry my eyes out. When I was able to find my voice, I said, "I love you two so much! I have to be the luckiest Mom in the world to have you two on my side. Thank you from the depths of my heart."

The next day, the shit hit the fan for Todd. He was served at his apartment at 6pm with the divorce papers and the breach of contract lawsuit. Apparently, the process server was friends with Ava and she reported that Todd was startled that anyone knew about his hideaway.

Shortly after the bomb dropped, Todd came to the house. He tried to open the door, but all of the locks had been changed. He began banging on the door demanding to be let inside, but I refused. One of my neighbors must have been watching what was going on and called the police saying that she thought there may be a domestic violence situation happening because two squad cars pulled in front of the house.

The two policeman approached Todd and asked him what was going on. "My fucking cunt of a wife has locked me out of my house after suing me for divorce and breach of contract! I just want to find out why she's doing this to me!"

"Okay sir, you need to calm down and leave the premises. It's obvious that you are in no state to have a rational discussion."

At that moment, Todd got really stupid and began yelling at the cop. "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO TELL ME I CAN'T HAVE A RATIONAL DISCUSSION! GET OFF MY PROPERTY NOW!"

"That's not going to happen, sir. You either leave or we will take you to the station!"

"FUCK YOU! I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL I TALK TO MY CUNT WIFE!" He then took a swing at one of the cops! He just got in a glancing blow on the policeman's arm, but the other cop grabbed his Taser and nailed him in the neck with enough juice to knock him out.

I watched and laughed as they hauled Todd to one of the squad cars. After they had him deposited, one of the officers returned and said, "He'll be in jail for a few days, so in the interim I would recommend that you talk to a lawyer about getting a restraining order." I thanked him for his concern and told them I would be happy to be their witness if necessary.

The next day Ava had a restraining order put into effect. She also told me that Dewey, Cheatem and Howe were very upset when confronted with the behavior of their employees and that they would summarily fire all three involved in the sexual liaisons. Ava said she was suing the law office for $5 million and Todd for $5 million for breach of contract. She told me that I shouldn't count on getting all of that because she was sure that the law office would probably try to settle for a lower amount in order to avoid any negative publicity. She said she wouldn't settle for less than $3 million plus all legal fees.

After a while things calmed down around our house. Todd decided he was going to fight the divorce for some reason. My only guess why was because his little bimbo dumped him after losing her job and because Todd's prospects didn't look so good, so she'd look for another sugar daddy. Ava disregarded all of Todd's team of attorney's ploys and stuck to her guns. "We'll let the judge decide!" Ava said.

Finally, our day in court arrived. Mavis accompanied me to the courthouse to provide support for me. I was anxious to put my marriage behind me and get Todd out of my life permanently. Our judge was a woman who Ava said didn't like people who cheated on their marriages and would be pretty harsh if we could prove Todd's infidelity, which would be pretty easy based on all of the evidence we had.

Both attorneys stated their cases and the biggest surprise was that Todd was accusing me of infidelity! I turned to Ava and whispered, "I have never cheated, what is this bullshit?" She calmed me down and said to wait and see what proof they have.

Todd's team was able to present their case first. They painted Todd out to be a loving husband and father who had never cheated and was shocked to discover my infidelity. It was all nonsense and I couldn't wait for Ava to present our case. Before that happened Todd's team called on me to testify.

I was sworn in and then his lead attorney began hammering me about the cheating I had apparently done. Finally, he presented a picture of me kissing a man which caused me to start laughing hysterically. When my laughing had calmed down, he asked me what was so funny, so I replied, "That picture was taken of me with my cousin Ray at his wedding. The kiss lasted a nanosecond and is not the passion filled moment you are trying to paint it as. By the way, did Todd bother to mention that my cousin is gay and is married to a wonderful man?"

I looked over to Ava to find her face all twisted up as she tried not to break out laughing. I then told the lawyer, "I'd be happy to have my cousin come in and testify to the truth of that photo." The lawyer looked embarrassed and said that wouldn't be unnecessary.

When it was Ava's turn, she painted Todd as a serial cheater having had sex with no fewer than 8 other women over the past several years. She called Todd to the stand and asked, "So, you say you are a devoted husband and father who has never cheated on your wife, correct?" He nodded and said, 'Yes'. Ava continued, "If that is the case, then how do you explain the events in these pictures?"

Ava handed him picture after picture with his latest paramour. His face got paler with each picture. When she ran out of those, she said, "What were your relationships with Ivy Bennett, Judy Jansen, Holly Ashton, Mary Brown, Alice Chalmers, Hedy Johnson and Glenda Fassbine?"

Todd said, "I was just friends with each of them." His 'tell' was shining through as he lied which caused me to laugh to myself.

"Just friends?" Ava asked. "I'm thinking more like friends with extensive benefits. Did you engage in sexual intercourse with any of these women?"

Todd was starting to sweat as he uttered, "No."

Ava smiled, but there was no mirth in it. "Really? I've interviewed each woman and they have all said that you had an affair. Must I remind you that you are under oath and are an officer of the court. If convicted of perjury you will be disbarred. I have copies of emails you sent to each woman arranging meetings and detailed accounts of what would happen during those meetings that were gleaned from your family computer.

"Frankly Mr. Madison, I think you are lying. You have lied about everything. You lied about your wife having an affair and you've lied about your own multiple affairs. In one of the emails you even told your latest 'friend' that you'd be divorcing your wife soon so the two of you could live off of the money you had stashed in an off shore account."

Finally, Todd found his voice and said, "Those pictures are all photoshopped and I never sent those emails, they're fake!"

Ava shook her head and said, "Ah, more lies, eh, Mr. Madison. It just so happens that several of your former lovers had copies of what you sent and gave them to me and others said that they remembered receiving those emails. As to the photos being faked, they were taken by a licensed investigator and were all certified as genuine by an accredited photo lab."

Ava then turned to the judge and said, "I'd like to enter these pictures, emails and affidavits in support of the plaintiffs case. I think you'll find enough evidence there to support pursuing perjury charges against Mr. Madison."

The judge accepted all of the material that Ava presented and then asked, "Is there anything more either counsellor would like to say on this matter?" When neither one of them spoke, she continued, "Fine, now in the case of the breach of contract suit brought against Mr. Madison by Mrs. Madison."

Todd's attorney stood and tried to convince the judge that it was a frivolous case because his client meant the signing of their vows as a joke since he was newly graduated from law school.

When it was Ava's turn, she presented the actual documents to the judge and said, "Your honor, I have a witness who will testify as to the intent of the document." The judge told her to call her witness who happened to be Todd's best man, Jake Baum.

Ava asked him, "Mr. Baum, are you one of the witness signatories on the vows of Mr. and Mrs. Madison?" He said he was, so Ava then asked, "Did you voice any qualms about this contract?" Again he said he had. Ava then asked, "Would you please tell us the conversation that ensued?"

Jake looked at Todd and then said, "Well, the two of us had just graduated from law school and Todd asked me to be his best man. The night before the wedding, Todd said he had this great idea about treating their vows like they were a contract. He and Myra could sign them and then Phyllida and I could act as witnesses. I told him that I didn't think it would be a very good idea because for all intents and purposes he would be creating a legal document."

Ava handed Jake the paper and asked, "Is this the document in question?"

"It is."

Ava then continued, "So, Mr. Baum, what is your specialty in your law office?"

"I'm our firms specialist in contract and documents."

"So, looking at this today, what is your opinion about the validity of this contract?"

"In my opinion it is a valid contract and is binding."

"Thank you, Mr. Baum"

Todd's attorney tried to finagle some iota of doubt out of Jake but he wasn't budging from his opinion. 


Again the judge asked both councils if they had anything to add, but they both said they didn't. "Okay then, first, I want the bailiff to hold Mr. Madison and notify the DA of possible perjury charges. Second, I will review the materials presented and make my determination on a week from today at 10am. Court is adjourned." And, with a tap of her gavel, we all rose from our seats.

As people were leaving the courtroom, I pulled Ava into a hug and said, "Ava, you were marvelous! I feel confident that we'll win our case, especially after the nonsense that Todd tried to pull. I particularly enjoyed seeing Todd marched off to jail!"

"Happy to help," Ava said. "I can't believe what a bonehead your husband is telling all of those lies. To commit perjury is a felony which could lead up to 5 years in prison, a large fine and disbarment. I told you from the beginning that your divorce would be a slam dunk, but that idiot made it a sure thing. So, by next week you'll be single again and probably rich. Any plans for the future?"

I shook my head and said, "Nothing really, just taking care of the kids and finishing my next book. Oh! I don't think I told you this, but I'm going to self-publish a book that will tell the story about Chad the cheating asshole. I'd like to use some of the pictures that Katie got to include in the book."

Ava laughed and said, "That sounds like fun. I look forward to reading the story."

"It will be my first foray into non-fiction. So, can I buy you lunch?" Ava begged off saying that she had another appointment in 30 minutes, but promised to lunch with me next week.

So, Mavis and I went to lunch and discussed how the trial went. She was flabbergasted by Chad's shenanigans and thought the sight of him being hauled off to jail was quite amusing.

I was anxious for the final decree by the judge and couldn't wait to find out what her final judgement would be. I tried to distract myself by writing my tale of our divorce and made some very good headway. I also autographed all of my first editions for the six people that worked in Ava's office.

Finally, the big day arrived. The kids wanted to accompany me to court to lend support, so they joined Mavis and myself. We arrived a bit early so we stood outside of the courtroom talking. After a little while, the bailiff approached and asked if Joss and Jeff were my kids and when I said they were he said, 'The judge would like to speak to the two of them in her chambers for a couple of minutes.' The kids and I looked at each other and then I shrugged and said, "It's fine with me. Kids?" They both said it was fine so they followed the bailiff down the hall to another door on which he knocked. Moments later he led the kids into the door and then returned to us opening the courtroom door.

Mavis looked at me and asked, "What do you think that was all about?" I told her I didn't know as we took our places in the courtroom. After a few minutes, Chad was led into the courtroom by a sheriff to join his attorney. I was pleased to see he was wearing one of the infamous orange jumpsuits indicative of his criminal status. Ava leaned over and said, "From what I hear, he's being held as a flight risk due to the large amounts of money that will be a part of your divorce and breach of contract suit."

We all stood as the judge entered. When we all sat back down, the judge said, "In the case of Madison vs. Madison I find in favor of the plaintiff. All assets and sole custody of the children are granted to Mrs. Madison. Their marriage is now officially null and void. In the case of the breach of contract, I am awarding in favor of Mrs. Madison the $5 million she has requested in her suit. This case is adjourned.

We all stood and then I hugged Ava once again. Moments later my kids were hugging us both as well as Mavis. As I looked up I saw Chad being led back to jail, a sight that made me smile. I returned my attention to our group hug enjoying the celebration. Afterwards we all went to lunch together.

Several weeks later, my suit against Dewey, Cheatem and Howe had its day in court. Ava was surprised that they hadn't tried to settle the case because she thought it was a lock. She guessed that since they were a big high powered firm that they'd be able to steam roll their case over Ava's.

The trial was held before a jury and when all was said and done, they found in my favor and granted me another $2 million above what Ava had asked for. Several weeks later the firms request for an appeal was denied, so they had to pony up $7 million for me.

As the days and weeks went by, I worked on my newest novel and the book about Chad's philandering. I was also enjoying being single. The kids spent more and more time with me talking about everything in their lives making me very happy.

Finally, about six months after my divorce was granted, Joss asked, "Mom, are you ever going to date again?"

I was a little taken aback by her question, so I had to come up with an answer. "Well, honey, I don't know. Your sperm donors cheating has made me very anti-man and I'm afraid I just can't trust another man right now."

"I can understand that. Other than Jeff, I don't trust boys at school either. It's like they have just one thing in mind. How about women? Would you consider having a love affair with another woman? It isn't that unusual these days, you know."

I sat there stunned that Joss would suggest I date a woman. But as I thought about it I wasn't totally put off by the idea. Actually, I much preferred the company of women to men and always had. Women were easier to talk to and understood what it was like to be women in today's society. I just wasn't too sure about sex with a woman.

I looked at Joss and said, "I don't know about a love affair, but I do like spending time with other women. Where did this come from, by the way?"

Joss grinned and said, "I just thought you must be getting lonely for a more intimate relationship. Your attorney was really good looking and I got the idea that she wouldn't, you know, be averse to a closer relationship with you."

"So, you would be okay with your mother dating and having sex with a woman."

"If it makes you happy, yes I would and I'm sure Jeff would agree. We love you Mom and we want the best for you."

God I loved my kids!

A couple of weeks after my discussion with Joss, I decided I would give Ava Angel a call and ask her out for drinks and dinner. She had given me her cell number, so one evening I called. When she answered I greeted her and told her I have an early release of my newest book and wondered if she would like to meet for drinks and dinner where I could give the book to her.

"Oh god, Myra, I would love to. I'm free on Friday night."

"Great, why don't we meet at Chez Panache at seven."

"That would be great!"

When I hung up, I found that I was excited about the prospect of seeing Ava again. She was very beautiful, smart and a joy to talk to.

On Thursday I told the kids I was going out with Ava and that they would be on their own for dinner. I gave Joss a $50 bill and told her that it should be used for their supper. By Friday afternoon I was pretty nervous not knowing what to expect. I felt like I did in high school the first time I went on a date.

After I showered and dried my hair, I put on some sexy underwear I had purchased for the occasion and a nice new dress that I really loved. I never used cosmetics other than a little lip gloss, so I was ready in plenty of time. When my cab arrived I called out to the kids that I was leaving. They both trundled down the stairs and gave me hugs while telling me to have a good time.

Ava and I were going to meet in the bar. I was a bit early, so I grabbed a table and told the cocktail waitress that I was waiting for a friend. About five minutes later, Ava showed up looking absolutely ravishing. I had only ever seen her in her work clothes that were strictly all business. However, this evening she looked like a sex symbol from the movies! Glamorous didn't come close to describing how stunning she was.

When she saw me, she made a beeline for my table, so I stood to greet her. She pulled me into a tight hug and gave me a peck on my lips. Despite the kiss lasting just a second, it felt electric for that moment. Anyway, after the hug, Ava sat across from me and said, "I was very happy when you called. I enjoyed our time together even though it was work for me and you losing your husband. So, how have you been?"

I smiled and said, "I've been adjusting, as have the kids. They've been great through all of this and have kept me from being depressed like I was a failure or something. I do get lonely sometimes, but I'm sure that will pass. How about you, how have you been?"

She chuckled and said, "Pretty much the same as usual, just working too much."

At this moment the cocktail waitress came back and asked, "What would you ladies like? The two gentlemen across the way would like to buy whatever you like." She then indicated two men at the bar with a flick of her head.

Ava and I both looked at our wannabe benefactors. They were middle aged with paunches and wedding rings on. Ava then said to our waitress, "Tell the two 'gentlemen' that we aren't interested in two assholes who take such a dim view of their wedding vows and that I sincerely hope that I get to represent their wives in their upcoming divorces! Now, I would like a nice dry red wine and Myra?"

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'd like the same, please. Also, we're waiting for our table so if you can let us know when it's ready I'd appreciate it. The reservation is under Myra Madison, thanks."

Our waitress got wide eyed and asked, "The author?"

"Yes."

"Oh my god, I love your books! I'll take care of your drinks and let the maître d' know that you're here in the bar."

I looked at her name pin and said, "Thank you, Susan. Oh, and don't forget to give those two men my friend's message."

She laughed and said, "I'd love to, they're both pigs!"

Ava and I laughed as I grabbed my overlarge purse and pulled two books out. One I gave to Ava and said, "Well, here's my new book. You and Susan will be getting the first two copies!" I signed Susan's copy and when she delivered our drinks, I said, "It is always nice meeting a fan of my work." I handed her the book and continued, "This is a copy of my newest that hasn't even reached the stores yet. I wrote my phone number inside and would love to hear your thoughts on it."

I thought she was going to cry for a moment until she took the book, held it to her chest and said, "I'd be honored to. Thank you so much!"

Ava chuckled and said, "That was really nice of you. She'll remember this evening for the rest of her life." Ava lifted her glass and said, "Here's to you, a lovely person who cares about others!"

I quickly responded saying, "And to you who cares even more!" We touched glasses and took our sips. The wine was quite good as we savored our first sips.

After a while our table was ready, so we were led to it by the maître d'. As we were seated, he said, "That was a very nice thing you did for Susan. I can't wait to tell my wife that I met you"

"It was my pleasure. Here!" I grabbed another book from my bag, asked for his wife's name and signed it for her, again with my phone number. Have her call me when she has finished and let me know what she thought."

"Wow, thank you. This will make her day as well."

Our dinner was very enjoyable. The food was perfect and the conversation was even better. Ava was a joy to be with and as I thought about things I decided that if I was to have a sexual relationship with a woman, then Ava would be the one. I was trying to decide how to take things to the next step as we finished our dinner and waited for the waiter to bring my credit card back. Ava took care of that problem by asking me if I'd like to go to her place for a night cap.

"I'd love to."

Ava then asked, "Do you want to follow me?"

I smiled and said, "I didn't drive figuring we would be drinking a bit, so I took a cab."

"That's even better because now you're my captive because I don't want this night to end!"

As she said that a shiver went up my spine and my pussy got wet as my mind started thinking about the pleasures I would soon be experiencing. As we stood, Ava smiled at me, took my hand and led me out of the restaurant saying, "I don't live too far away, but the walk would be murder in our shoes. I took a cab as well."

A cab was dropping a fare as we exited the building, so we grabbed that one. As we sat, the female cabbie asked, "Where to ladies?"

"I'm afraid it isn't too far," Ava replied, "But the tip will make it worth your while." She told our driver the address and off we went. We pulled up to a tall condominium and as we got out of the car Ava said, "Here you go'" and handed 2 bills to the driver. "One is a twenty to cover the fare and the other is a $100 bill for a tip." The driver thanked her profusely.

As we entered the building I could tell it was a high class place. There was a doorman who greeted Ava with a smile and she reciprocated with her own smile and then introduced me. Her apartment was on the top floor and the elevator opened up into her apartment. I was in awe at how nice the place was. The living room was very large and was very nicely furnished. The art on the walls was perfect and at the other end there were large floor to ceiling windows with an unparalleled view of the city.

As we stepped in, Ava said, "Let's kick off our uncomfortable shoes and then I'll show you around. Would like anything to drink?" I told her that some water would be nice, so she took my hand and led me into her kitchen. "I have Evian still water and Pellegrino bubbly water."

I had always liked Pellegrino, so I asked for that. She grabbed a couple of glasses, put ice in each one and then pulled a green bottle of Pellegrino out and filled our glasses. She handed me one and then held hers up as in a toast so we touched glasses and said, "You won't believe how happy I was when you called and suggested dinner. I really liked getting to know you and I love how generous you are by giving your autographed books to all of us in my office and especially to Susan and the maître d's wife."

I smiled and said, "Well, I love my fans because there wouldn't be any point to writing if there weren't people to read my books. So, tell me about yourself. I don't really know the you outside of the lawyer."

Ava motioned for us to sit on her couch. I sat at one end and turned to face Ava who was in the middle while she turned to face me. "There really isn't much to tell. I grew up here, graduated as valedictorian at North High School, won a full ride scholarship to Yale and got my juris doctor from Yale Law. I had intended to go into criminal law because I wanted to be a District Attorney someday.

"About midway through law school I married a guy named Abe Johnson. We had a whirlwind romance where he swept me off my feet. Old Abe was a charmer and little did I know he was charming every skirt he met into his bed. When I discovered what he was doing I was livid and filed for divorce. I didn't have much money so I hired the only attorney I could afford. Anyway, he turned out to be a total waste, so I decided to represent myself because I knew more than the cretin I hired. I won my case and made out with enough money to open my own law office once I graduated. I made a point of observing a lot of divorce cases and saw that many women were often poorly served by the male attorneys they hired, so I changed my focus to family law and here I am."

"Well, sounds like we were both in the same boat, it just took me a little longer to figure that out. So, how come you don't have anyone in your life right now, if you don't mind me asking. Lord knows you are attractive enough."

Ava chuckled and said, "No, I don't mind. There are several reasons actually. First, I will never trust another man, especially after all the lies and deceit I have seen in my clients exes. Your husband is a prime example! The shit he tried to pull during your trial mirrored hundreds of others that I have seen and heard over the years. Second is because I have been working too much establishing my practice, but now that I have no financial worries I think I'll look into pursuing a love interest. And three, now that you're in my life, well, may I kiss you?"

With that last sentence I about melted. I hadn't been very sure about a relationship with a woman, but at that instant I was totally sure about a relationship with Ava. I looked into her eyes, moved closer to her and said, "I would really love it if you did."

We pulled each other into our arms and when our lips met I experienced a fire in my belly that I had never felt before. We didn't start with easy pecks but kissed with a passion I had never experienced before. Our tongues dueled easily as we held each other tight. Our breasts were pressed together as our hands explored each other over our clothes as we continued making out.

When we broke the kiss, Ava said, "I have wanted to do that since the first moment I saw you. Do you have any idea how beautiful you are? And not just your physical beauty, but your inner beauty as well. As I said earlier, when you called to ask me out, you wouldn't believe how overjoyed I was."

"I'm guessing you were about as overjoyed as I was when you accepted." I then leaned in and kissed her again. It was weird because kissing Ava was exponentially better than kissing my ex. Her lips were so soft, there were no whiskers scraping my face and it was just so much more passionate.

We kept kissing for a while until Ava said, "Let's get more comfortable." She stood and then held out her hands to me. I took them and stood and then allowed her to lead me to her bedroom. We stood in the middle of the room and began helping each other shed our clothes.

To tell the truth I was quite nervous. I was always very sure of myself, but this situation was way out of the norm for me and I think Ava picked up on that because when we were both naked, she said, "There's no need to be nervous. Just do what feels good to you because I'm sure it will feel good to me." We then kissed again holding our now naked bodies against each other. Ava just felt so good in my arms that I relaxed. Her skin was incredibly soft as I ran my hands up and down her flanks, over her ass and up her back. She was doing the same to me and it felt wonderful.

Finally, Ava broke the kiss and pulled me over towards the bed. I was able to see her in her naked glory for the first time and thought that she should have modeled for Playboy or something. She was slim with largish cone shaped breasts, probably a C-cup, with nice hips and a bald mound and long graceful legs. I could picture her as Helen of Troy, a prize very worth fighting over. She smiled up at me as she lay back, so I followed and stretched out alongside this beauty.

I began kissing her again and thought that her kisses were like an opiate to me in that I just couldn't get enough of them. I was a bit above Ava and worked my right leg between her legs rubbing my thigh against her sex as I felt her leg do the same to me. Next, I ran my right hand over her left breast and felt how firm her breast was and how hard her nipple was. I felt her rub my breasts as well and was experiencing a feeling of euphoria.

Next, Ava managed to push me over onto my back and began kissing down my body. She sucked and licked all over my breasts eliciting moans from deep inside me. It felt like my breasts had never been adequately paid attention to until this moment. She kissed down my belly, ran her tongue through my belly button and then ended up between my legs staring at my sex.

As she stared I felt like I had a faucet within me as my vagina was seeping my lubricant constantly. As her mouth neared me, I could feel her warm breath as she got closer and closer. When her tongue lapped up my dew and ran over my clitoris, I arched my back and had an orgasm. I had never cum that quickly for anything, but by god did I cum this time. I ran my fingers through Ava's hair as she worked her magic with her mouth and tongue. After a while, I felt her press a finger up into me massaging my g-spot as she sucked on my clit. All of a sudden I had the biggest orgasm of my life.

Ava never relented as I came and came. The sensations were like nothing I had ever experienced before as I struggled to maintain consciousness. After several minutes, Ava relented as my body collapsed, all wrung out from having cum so hard. My breath was heaving as Ava crawled up my body and held me tight. The two of us lay there holding one another not saying anything for a long time.

When Ava looked into my eyes she had a smile on her face, so I smiled at her and said, "Ava, I love you." I then pulled her into another passionate kiss as our tongues swirled around each other's.

When we broke the kiss, Ava smiled again and said, "I love you too." We just lay there holding each other until we fell asleep.

We woke up several times during the night and made love together. I tasted my first pussy and loved it. Ava's body was like a temple and I did my best to bring her as much pleasure as she did for me. All in all, it was the best night of my life and I didn't want it to end.

As we lay in bed in the morning, we held each other until I asked, "Where do we go from here?"

Ava propped her head up on her arm, looked me in the eyes and said, "Well, if I had my way I would move into your house and live with you for the rest of our lives. I hope your kids won't find this too weird."

I chuckled causing Ava to look askance at me for a moment until I said, "My daughter Jocelyn is the one who prodded me to make my date with you. I know all parents think their kids are the best and brightest, but in fact my kids are. They will love you and you will love them. So, yeah, I think you should move in with us and make us the happiest family possible."

We talked for quite a while in bed before we got up and showered together which was a near religious experience for me as we washed each other's hair and bodies. We then ate some breakfast. Finally, Ava said, "Why don't I drive you home and then I can meet your kids."

"Okay, but you should wear something very casual because Jeff has a soccer game this afternoon and you should see what you are getting yourself into."

When we walked into my house, I cried out, "JOSS! JEFF! I'M HOME!"

I had to smile as the tell-tale trundling of my kids down the stairs echoed through the house. As they reached the bottom of the stairs, they both broke out in wide grins as they walked over and hugged me. When they had stood back I said, "Kids, I'd like you to formally meet my friend Ava Angel. Ava, this is Jocelyn, but she goes by Joss."

Joss walked up to Ava and pulled her into a hug and said, "It is a real pleasure to meet you finally. Jeff and I were so happy you looked after Mom in the divorce from our sperm donor."

Ava chuckled and said, "It was my pleasure."

I then directed myself towards Jeff and said, "And Ava, this is Jeffrey but goes by Jeff."

Jeff pulled Ava into a hug and said, "Thank you for being our Mom's friend"

Ava again said, "It is truly my pleasure. I'm also very happy to meet the both of you. Your Mom is very proud of you both and speaks very highly of you."

There was a bit of an awkward silence until I asked them if they'd had lunch yet at which they both said no. So, we all went into the kitchen after I had changed my clothes and while I fixed lunch, Ava and the kids began talking getting to know each other. I also called Mavis and asked her to join us.

When Mavis arrived, she looked at Ava and then at me as a sly smile crossed her face. She hugged Ava and then me while whispering, "You are glowing!" I couldn't help but blush with her comment.

Lunch was a lot of fun and then we all piled into my van to go to Jeff's soccer match. The four of us women all sat in a row with Joss, me, Ava and Mavis. We cheered for Jeff and his team rather boisterously until halftime. The four of us were quiet for a few moments until Joss asked, "So, Mom, are you and Ava lover's now? If so, you can hold hands if you'd like."

Ava and I looked at each other and as I was trying to formulate an answer, Ava said, "Yes we are, are you okay with that? I know being in high school you could come under some bullying for the choices your parents make."

Joss smiled and said, "I am very okay with the two of you. I haven't seen my Mom this happy in ages and anything that makes her happy makes me happy. I could tell she wasn't very happy even before my sperm donor got caught being an asshole. But today, wow!"

Mavis leaned over and said, "Ava, you'll discover that Joss and Jeff are very perceptive and sharp kids."

Ava laughed and said, "Yeah, I have noticed that. I've also noticed that they aren't shy. So, Joss, you can ask me anything you want and I'll answer you truthfully to the best of my ability."

Joss smiled and asked, "Okay, do you love my Mom?"

Ava grinned at Joss and said, "Of course I do. Your Mom is brilliant, loving, beautiful and one of the kindest persons I have ever met. Last night she found out that our cocktail waitress was a fan, so your Mom gave her an autographed copy of her newest book with her phone number and told the woman to call her and let her know what she thought of it. Your Mom made a lifelong friend, even if they never see one another again, because of that kind act. So, how can I not love her?"

"You're pretty perceptive," Joss said. "She is that way with everybody. I can't tell you how many kids I know complain about their parents, but Jeff and I have never had a reason to complain about her. In answer to your other comment about bullying, I'm not too worried."

I sat there listening to my daughter and my lover talk about me and I have to say that they both made me feel real good about myself. I was also extremely proud of my Joss for having the courage to speak her mind and not be shy.

After the game, Jeff joined us as we were going to head out. He had a big grin on his face, so Joss asked, "What are you smiling about?"

He chuckled and replied, "Well, we did win our game and I managed to score a goal, but the best part was that my teammates are jealous of my cheering section. Bob Miller said I had the best looking cheering section in the state!" We all laughed.

Over a couple of weeks, Ava moved in with us and fit right in. She was a wonderful cook and the kids just loved her. I don't think I had ever been as happy as I was with Ava. She seemed to be quite happy as well. She cut back on her work hours and spent more time with us.

When we had been living together for about a year, Ava asked, during dinner, "How about we all take a vacation together? We could go somewhere warm, or Europe. What do you all think?"

I liked the idea and replied, "I'd like that. We haven't been on a vacation for ages. What do you think kids?"

Jeff answered first saying, "That would be nice but I have some tournaments coming up that I can't miss during break. Besides, I think you and Mom need some alone time together without having to worry about Joss and I."

Joss' answer mirrored Jeff's, so I looked over to Ava and asked, "What do you think?"

She smiled and said, "We can do that as long as you kids promise me that our next vacation will be as a family unit, say this summer when school is out." Both kids promised, so Ava turned to me and asked, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

I thought for a second and then said, "I'd like to go to Europe. I've never been there and have been toying with the idea of incorporating it into some stories. For example, I'd like to have one set in Cold War Berlin. I'd also like to go to Salzburg and that famous castle, New something or other."

"I'd like to see how you formulate your books, so that sounds great to me. What about the kids?"

I had to smile about her concern for my kids and replied, "I think they're old and responsible enough to take care of themselves. What do you guys think?"

Joss smiled and said, "Yeah we'll be fine. Actually, it would be good for us because not too far in the future we'll need to be able to do just that, so this would be an excellent learning experience. Besides, Aunty Mavis is just down the street if we get into a bind."

I looked at Jeff and he said, "Joss is right."

"Okay," I said, "I'll talk it over with Mavis, but I'm sure she'll be fine. So, Ava when should we go?"

"I currently have an open schedule for the next three weeks, so we can go anytime."

Five days later, Ava and I were in business class on Lufthansa headed for Frankfurt in order to connect to Berlin. We were able to sleep on the lay flat seats, so we both felt pretty refreshed upon our arrival. We had reserved a room at an upscale hotel near the Brandenburg Gate. We checked in and then decided to walk around a bit. The air smelled different but I liked it and found out that it was because many homes were still heated with coal.

I took pictures with my phone of the Gate, Humboldt University and the Unter den Linden and texted them to the kids. It dawned on me that I really didn't know a lot about the history of the area, so I wondered if I could hire a guide or something, so when we returned to the hotel I asked the concierge.

His name was Günter, so I asked, "Sir, I have a problem that I hope you can help me with?"

"I can try. What seems to be the problem, Miss er..."

"Madison"

"Yes of course, my apologies. What can I help you with?"

"Well, I write romance novels and I had thought I would like to write one set during the Cold War and the experiences surrounding that time. My problem is that I don't really know the city nor do I know how people on either side of the divide really felt. So, I was wondering if you would know someone that I could hire that could help me. I would pay them well."

He thought for a few moments and then said, "I do know of one person who lived on the GDR side who would be able to help you, but I'm reluctant to use her."

"Why?"

"Because it's my wife and I don't want to appear to be taking advantage of you."

I chuckled and said, "I'm not concerned with that. Why don't you ask her, please."

Günter picked up the phone and made the call. The two of them were speaking in rapid fire German for several minutes. Finally, Günter placed the phone handle to his chest and said, "My wife would like to know your full name because she wonders if she has ever heard of you."

I chuckled and said, "I rather doubt it because I don't think my books have been printed in German, but my name is Myra Madison."

"My wife asked because she's in a book club that just reads books in English to practice their language skills."

"Okay, tell her my name is Myra Madison and to my knowledge I haven't been printed in any language other than English. Also tell her that I would really appreciate her help as I do my research."

Günter smiled and said he would do his best to convince his wife to help me. The two spoke on the phone for several minutes and then turned to me and said, "My wife would like to speak with you, if that's okay."

I took the phone and said 'Guten tag' one of my 5 phrases I had learned. She returned my greeting and then asked, in very good English, "Are you the author of 'It is Raining on my Heart'? I acknowledged that I was, so she replied, "I loved that book as did my friends in my book group. I would love to assist you in any way that I can. Günter said you would be willing to pay, but I don't want money, I would like you to talk at my next book group instead. Would that be okay?"

I smiled and said, "I would like that very much, but would still like to pay you for your time. By the way, what is your name?"

She chuckled and said, "My name is Dörte and we'll discuss money later. So, when would you like to start?"

"Any time you are free to start."

"Okay, I'll will come and fetch you tomorrow at 10 if that is okay."

"That would be perfect. My partner will be with me as well, just so you know."

"That is no problem. Until tomorrow, tschuss!"

I handed the phone back to Günter and thanked him for his help. Ava and I then went into the attached restaurant for some lunch and then returned to our room. It was only 1pm, so with a lusty look, Ava said, "I've been to Europe on several occasions and have discovered it takes a few days to get our circadian rhythms in sync with the local time. So, what has worked for me in the past was to take a nap from 3 to 6 and then go to dinner after which we have a few drinks and go to bed. After a couple of nights like that we'll get in the swing of things quickly."

I thought for a second and then said, "Okay, that sounds reasonable to me."

She then smiled with lust in her eyes and said, "In the meantime I could use some loving, how about you."

I smiled brightly and said, "I can always use some loving, especially with you!"

We stripped off our clothes and when she was naked, Ava walked over to her bag and grabbed something and then lay in bed next to me. She kissed me for a few moments and said, "I want to try something with you and see if you like it. I like it myself and if you do too we can incorporate it in our lovemaking."

I was a bit confused and asked, "What is it?"

"It's a surprise, just close your eyes for a while, okay?"

I knew Ava would never hurt me, so I said, okay and closed my eyes. I could feel Ava kissing her way down my body quicker than usual and then got between my legs and spread them wide and told me to hold them back a bit. She kissed me all over my vulva and even licked my anus for a while. A bit later, she began fingering my pussy which I liked a lot using a couple of fingers to start with. She then began using more fingers and pressed into me with four fingers which was stretching me more than I had been since I gave birth to Jeff.

Simultaneously, Ava began rubbing and pinching my clit causing me to writhe around in pleasure. At one point, Ava said, "Here comes your surprise," after she had pulled her hand back a bit. All of a sudden I felt her slowly work her entire hand into my vagina until her whole hand was well inside of me. I opened my eyes and lifted my head to see what Ava was doing.

She was smiling at me as she pulled her hand back until she was nearly out and then slowly pushed it back in. I could hear all sorts of squishing sounds as she began fucking me with her hand. I couldn't believe how good it all felt as I cried out, "FUCK ME HARDER!" as I began pinching and pulling on my nipples and within moments I climaxed hard, "OOOOHHHHH FFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK! I could see my girl cum spraying around Ava's arm as I shook and shivered with the bliss of an orgasm.

Ava played on the fact that she knew I was multi orgasmic and continued fucking me with her hand and tormenting my clit. She even began pulling her fist clear out of me and punching it back in over and over causing me to cum again with another squirter. Next she took me by surprise as she pulled out of my pussy and began working fingers into my asshole!

Now, I had always liked a little ass play and Ava knew this because she was the one who introduced me to it with a couple of fingers and her tongue. This time however, she seemed to be taking ass play to the next level as began working her fingers into me slowly. I was breathing very heavily and quickly and sweating profusely. I couldn't decide whether it hurt or felt good as she worked her hand into my rosebud. I was continually crying out, "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! YOU'RE FUCKING MY ASS! OH MY GOD!"

Finally, I felt it as she worked her entire hand into my rectum! I could tell I was on the edge of cumming again when I felt her pull her hand back until her knuckles were stretching my anus to its widest point. She pushed me over the edge when she began twisting her fist and began slapping my clit very hard!

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FFFFUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK! I LOVE YOU AAAVVVVVAAAAAA!" I screamed as the biggest earth shattering orgasm of my life rocked me. Every other orgasm I had ever experienced paled in comparison and it seemed to go on forever. I was shaking all over as my pussy was squirting up like a geyser. I felt her pulse her hand out of me and crawl up my body until she was kissing me.

Once I calmed down, Ava asked, "I gather you liked your surprise by the orgasms you had."

I smiled and said, "Yeah, I did though I was pretty surprised by it, especially the anal part." I thought for a second, chuckled and said, "I guess there is no need for men in my life now that I have discovered you exceed every penis I have ever encountered in both quality and quantity!"

Ava laughed and replied, "That's the idea!"

The next morning we met with Dörte in the hotel restaurant. We talked at length about how she grew up in the former German Democratic Republic and how her life changed after reunification. After lunch she drove us around showing us places of interest like remnants of the wall, checkpoint Charlie, where the former seat of government was and so on. All in all I got a very good idea of what life was like in East Germany.

That night we met with Dörte's book club. We had an entertaining night discussing the one book of mine that they had read and about the other books they had covered. I had promised them signed copies of the book set in East Germany that I was researching once it was published.

The next day we took the train down to Dresden, a city that was virtually destroyed in WWII and was the subject of Kurt Vonnegut's novel, Slaughterhouse Five. The city had been rebuilt by the time we got there. We toured the Zwinger, the Frauenkirche and walked along the Elbe river. We also discovered that the hills near Dresden were famous for making Nutcrackers and smoking men in various traditional dress in which to burn incense. I bought several of each for my kids and Mavis and had them shipped. Ava did the same thing for her staff.

After Dresden we took the train to Prague and enjoyed several days there walking around looking at their old buildings and castle on the hill. Central Prague was very beautiful and I enjoyed it immensely.

Our next destination was Vienna. I had thought of centering another book in Vienna in the time of the Habsburg Empire and Mozart. We enjoyed walking around the Hof, the center of the Habsburg's Empire, Schönbrunn, the Danube and imbibing coffee and apple strudel. Ava and I also bought traditional Austrian wear for us and the kids, I couldn't wait to see Jeff in lederhosen!

Next up was Salzburg, the home of Mozart and a very quaint old town. It was easy to picture life in the 1700's there. We went to Mozart's birth house, the castle on the hill, this really great Rococo church and the salt mine that the town was named after. We even did the Sound of Music tour.

The last major destination of our trip was Munich because it was close to Neuschwanstein, the famous castle on all of the German tourist information you see. The first day we wandered around Munich and toured several churches and went to a beer hall. The second day we got up early and took the first train to Füssen, the closest town to the castle. We arrived at mid morning, took the bus to Hohenschwangau and since it was a wonderfully warm spring day, walked up to the castle.

The place was incredible though its history was rather tragic. There were just a few rooms that had been finished for occupancy and those were incredible. Additionally the views of the mountains on one side and the valley down below on the other were spectacular!

As we flew back home on another Lufthansa flight, I pondered my new life with Ava. We traveled very well together and had the best time. Our love for each other seemed to grow each and every day we were together and the sex just got exponentially better all of the time. I looked over at Ava as she was reading her book in the seat next to me and just felt so much love.

After a few moments, Ava turned to look at me catching me staring at her, so I said, "Ava, I just want you to know how happy you have made me this past year and how much I love and adore you."

She smiled at me and said, "I know what you mean because I feel the same way. As a matter of fact, I was wondering if you would marry me?"

I couldn't help but smile broadly as I replied, "Nothing would make me happier!"

Our homecoming was wonderful. I had missed my kids terribly and, apparently, they missed us as well. We opened the packages that we had sent back and gave the kids their gifts. Joss had called Mavis to inform her that we were back and that she should stop by. She welcomed us home with hugs and apologized for taking so long because her husband Randy needed her to help him with a project.

When everyone was settled down, Ava stood and said, "On the flight back I asked Myra to marry me and she has accepted!" Everyone went crazy again as we were both hugged by my kids and by Mavis.

As the years went by my life just got better and better. I kept writing and was getting very good reviews. The one I wrote about cold war Germany won the NERFA (National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award) and the Vivian Award. I also won the Romance Novel of the Year Award for my story set in Vienna in the times of Mozart.

I stayed in touch with Dörte. She and her bookclub raved about the cold war book and were all shocked that I dedicated that book to them. I also stayed in touch with Susan the cocktail waitress. We became fast friends and I always gave her an early copy to evaluate for me.

When Joss was about to graduate from high school, she told Ava that she wanted to become a lawyer like her and that was why she wanted to attend Yale. She made good on her promise because she graduated from Yale Law the top of the class and returned home to work with her stepmother.

Jeff had always been a good athlete and managed to get a scholarship to Arizona State University playing baseball. Upon graduation he signed a contract with the Milwaukee Brewers and after just two years in the minors, he was called up to the majors after his third spring training. He soon became the starting third baseman and was being compared to Brooks Robinson for his fielding abilities and Mike Schmidt for his hitting prowess.

As for Todd, well his life went into a downward spiral after I divorced him. He was disbarred and fined for perjury during our trial. He ended up spending time in prison because he had no money with which to pay his fine. Upon release, he had a difficult time finding work and ended up working in a McDonalds restaurant. Many of his co-workers were high school kids and he apparently became infatuated with one young girl and basically raped her.

He was tried and was sentenced to 25 years in the State Penitentiary. He did not fare well in the 'big house' because he had become rather doughy. One of the black gangs decided to make him their gang bitch so was repeatedly raped every day of his sentence. He served 15 years out of the 25 and had to register as a sex offender wherever he lived for the rest of his life. He was unemployable because nobody wanted to hire a sex offender and besides he had no front teeth having had them beat out of him in prison.

As far as I know he's still alive somewhere but really couldn't care. All I know is that divorcing him was the best thing that ever happened to me and I couldn't be happier in the life I now have.
