Too Predictable

Note -- This is the second edition of this story. The first had many mistakes and was difficult to read, so I want to thank all those who looked past them and encouraged me to continue writing. I want to thank my editor MrsIntJ. Without her hard work this new edition wouldn't have been possible. We hope you enjoy the rewrite.

----*----

This is my first submission on Literotica. I have to say writing gives you an appreciation for the hard work of a writer.

I welcome all comments. This story involves cheating, but the people in the story are not burned down. I love to read revenge stories. The are my typically my favorite reads but this is not a revenge story. I'm trying to write stories about how people might actually behave. Sometimes people are predictable, sometime they are not.

With your feedback I will try to find my way and maybe I'll write a few more stories.

It was a typical bright early summer morning in the Albuquerque area. Marla got up on this Thursday morning, put on her robe and headed to the kitchen. At 7am she knew Kurt has been been up for at least an hour and had already fed the horses and Ralph, their dog. As she got to the kitchen she saw Kurt reading the paper and drinking the strong black coffee he always enjoyed. He had made the morning pot and put her cup on the counter next to it. Kurt was a creature of habit and this day was like all the others.

"Good morning sweetie," he said with a smile. "How did you sleep?"

"Fine honey", as she sat down and took a drink of her coffee.

"We need hay so I will stop on my way home and grab ten bails."

"Make sure you get that good orchard grass/alfalfa mix. You know how much they like it," Marla said.

It was a typical predictable day at the Henderson's.

----*----

Kurt and Marla had been married for twenty-nine years and lived on a small five acre ranch just outside of Albuquerque. Kurt is a civil engineer for a company that mainly builds concrete bridges. A big guy at 6 foot 2 inches, he weighs 220. Still possessing a full head of hair that was dark when he first met Marla, is now mostly gray. Even with a belly that is slightly round, he is in good shape, mainly from his physical activity at work and around the ranch. Though intimidating to some, he was a big block of a man, but he is actually a gentle guy. He always had a smile and kind word for people.

Kurt had worked long hours early in his career. It helped him get established at the company and to get the Hendersons off to a solid start. Buying the ranch had been a stretch for them in those early years, but they managed their way through those lean times. The ranch had been the family homestead now for almost 25 years. When they first purchased the property it was mostly just a house on a big lot, but they made many improvements over the years. Besides the beautiful landscaping it now had a barn and stables, which kept their four horses warm, safe and dry.

Marla worked at an insurance company that focused on commercial insurance. When she started years ago, it was mainly a clerical position. However, her responsibilities had grown over the years and now she was making good money. When the kids were young her employer allowed her to work part-time. Kurt had told her she didn't have to work at all. She could stay at home and focus on the family and ranch but Marla enjoyed participating in the finances. Plus, it allowed her to indulge in her hobby of horse ownership and riding without putting a strain on their finances.

They raised three wonderful kids, two girls and a boy. The kids loved the ranch as well and shared Marla's love of riding. Now their kids were grown and out of the house. Their son and one of their daughters were married now and had children of their own. Their youngest, Emma, lived in Dallas and was currently in grad school. She was following in her dad's footsteps and studying engineering. She had a steady boyfriend. He was a nice boy but Marla wasn't sure Emma was serious about him.

Time will tell on that one, Marla thought.

----*----

"I'm glad you seem to be coming out of your funk," Kurt said. "I was worried about you there for a while, but you seemed to have perked up lately." Marla had been kind of depressed for a while, but it was something she couldn't talk to Kurt about.

What he doesn't know is that my depression was caused by losing my lover, Marla thought.

Marla had been cheating on Kurt for well over a year. She loved Kurt dearly and never wanted to hurt her marriage. In fact she felt that her affair had kept their marriage together. For the past five years Marla had felt an increasing need for sex. In previous years she could go days without having sexual thoughts. Maybe it was because of all the time and energy required to raise the kids, she wondered? But now that they were gone, sexual feelings filled her body.

Now that the kids were out of the house, Marla felt like live was passing her by.

She had spent a lot of time thinking about her sex life and comparing it to others. She had even asked a number of her girlfriends to tell her a little about their sex lives. It seemed that everyone was getting it more ofter and had more adventures in the bedroom.

So Marla got a boyfriend. Meeting Brian and having sex with him allowed her to feel a zest for life again. Life with Kurt was wonderful. They had everything they ever wanted, but their life was so predictable. Also, their sex life was so vanilla. Basically it was Kurt on top once a week. They just didn't have any adventure in their sex life, and Marla decided she needed more.

She had met Brian through work. He was an underwriter for a major insurance firm that her company wrote through. These insurance firms expected the underwriters to meet regularly with their clients. Marla and Brian actually knew each other for over 10 years and lunched together many times over the years. They kept it only professional, but two years ago they were both talking about how their marriages grew boring.

At Marla and Brian's next lunch, their conversation was more personal. Besides their mundane daily routines, sex with their spouses was just plain missionary, and was happening less often as time wore on.

"We schedule our sex," said Marla. "We have sex every Saturday evening. I know Kurt has needs, so I agreed to do it weekly, but he never makes me come." Marla was really enjoying the frank conversation about sex and appreciated she could talk to Brian this way.

After Marla and Brian's conversation about sex she started thinking maybe they could help each other. She began to look at Brian differently. He was a good looking guy, in his late-40s with a nice body. She decided to start flirting with him and see where it led. Brian did notice Marla's change in attitude and began to fantasize about her. He flirted back and soon they were both well aware where their relationship was headed.

"Brian, I have been thinking a lot about us, and I think we should spend an afternoon together. I think we both know how we can spice up our sex lives. Would you like that?"

Brian had thought a great deal about Marla. A beautiful woman in her mid-50s, she was about 5 foot 5 inches tall. Her dark hair began turning gray but the salt and pepper looked great on her, especially with her green eyes. Her body was fantastic. She didn't have any excess weight on her with nice B-sized breasts. Brian figured she must keep in shape with all of her outdoor activities and horse riding.

Brian's wife was about 30 pounds overweight and he felt it hampered their sex life. He loved his wife dearly but they didn't have much of a sex life. Brian figured Marla would be lively in bed. It sounded like she wanted to experiment and Brian thought about those things his wife would never do. Maybe he could get Marla to be a little kinky?

"Oh yes, Marla. I would love to spend the afternoon with you. "I've got a credit card my wife doesn't know about. I'll get us a room, and we can have some private time. We don't have to do anything you don't want to do, but at least we can be alone for a time."

----*----

The following Thursday they met at the Motel 6. The room wasn't much but; why spend a lot of money? Brian thought. We just need a bed.

Once they were in the room, there was very little talking. They began to kiss passionately. Both of them worked themselves up thinking about this event. As they kissed they began to remove each others clothes in a frenzy.

This first time they were going to get to business quickly. Marla pushed down his pants and underwear at the same time. This was going to be her first different cock in over 25 years. He was already hard and Marla was happy to see he was nice sized.

The same size as Kurt, Marla thought. That made her happy. She didn't want him to be too big or too small.

"Suck my cock Marla", Brian ordered. Marla was happy he was demanding. It made her want to suck it. She would be careful and not let him cum in her mouth. She wanted to try tasting his cum, but this time she wanted to be fucked quick so it would be a short sucking.

Within minutes Marla was on her back on the bed and Brian was above her.

Wow, Marla thought. I'm finally doing it. I'm going to have some wild sex. I guess it's never too late. Marla was very excited and could feel her wet pussy.

"Fuck me Brian," she ordered. Marla had never said those kinds of things in bed, but this was a new adventure. Brian put his cock to her opening and rammed it home.

"Oh, fuck that's good", Marla moaned.

This first time didn't last long but Marla had a strong orgasm on Brian's cock. Then he was coming in her pussy.

"Oh fuck Marla, your pussy is so good," Brian said.

Marla had her tubes tied after her youngest daughter, so there was no worry about pregnancy.

"Wow, Brian, that was wonderful. I want more, do you think you can get it up again?" Marla asked.

"Me and that blue pill I took earlier should be good to go shortly," Brian said. "Suck my cock again, and I'm sure it will be standing up soon."

They did go at it again. Brian had ate her pussy before they fucked this time. He wasn't even bothered by his cum.

He must have a lot of practice at that, Marla thought. He knew how to eat a pussy. She had a strong orgasm as he sucked on her cunt. Marla also came again during their second fuck.

Now Marla was headed back to work.

Wow, I had three great orgasms. That is more than this past month with Kurt. She was feeling a slight amount of guilt but in her post orgasm afterglow she thought, yes, having Brian around is going to work out nicely.

----*----

Marla and Brian met for sex regularly for about a year. They continued to explore and both learned they both really enjoyed oral sex. Marla liked to see how much of Brian's cock she could take in her mouth and had actually learned to deep throat him. She surprised herself when she found she liked to taste and swallow his cum.

In her early years with Kurt, she licked on his cock a few times but she wouldn't take it in her mouth. She was afraid he would cum, and at the time, told him she thought it was disgusting. Now she would happily suck Brian to completion. That always resulted in a nice long fuck from him after he recovered and she would get a good cum on his cock.

Then the worst of all possible events happened. Brian's wife discovered his hidden credit card. She got her hands on a statement and almost all the charges were for the Motel 6 where Brian and Marla fucked regularly.

Today had started as a typical rendezvous for Brian and Marla. They met at their favorite cheap hotel. They drove up about the same time and were about to step into the room when Brian's wife ran up screaming.

"You fucking asshole. Who is this whore you are about to fuck? Do you always fuck this same slut, or do you have other whores, too?"

Marla was in shock. She didn't know this woman, but it was obviously Brian's wife.

Does she really think I am a whore, Marla thought? It was a big blow up right there outside of the motel with his wife screaming her head off. Shortly Brian's wife ran back to her car. Brian quickly jumped into his car and then sped away, following her.

Oh fuck, Marla thought. Would Brian tell his wife her name? Would his wife call Kurt? This could all blow up in her face. The thought scared Marla shitless. She realized she was shaking. She loved Kurt and hadn't meant to damage what they had. She didn't know what to do. She decided she could only wait and see how it evolved. Marla drove back to work and finished out her day just trying to get by.

That evening with Kurt was predictably normal. She was on edge but went home and fixed a light dinner. Kurt did the chores and then came in and they ate. After dinner they watched the early news before going to bed. Marla prayed that the coming days would be as predictable.

Over the next few days Marla didn't hear from Brian and didn't try contacting him. His wife would certainly be watching him like a hawk. The following Saturday evening she found herself once again laying under Kurt as his cock pushed in and out of her. Then she did her usual, she faked an orgasm and Kurt came. Shortly thereafter he was sleeping soundly.

All is well in the Henderson household, Marla thought.

----*----

Marla had not heard a single word from Brian in two months.

That was all good, she thought. At least his wife wasn't stupid enough to contact Kurt. Marla hoped that Brian told his wife that she was a whore that he had picked up on the streets. That made her feel cheap, but it would keep her safe from retribution. But Marla had another issue. The lack of sex and excitement was effecting her moods. It depressed her that she was now back in the same situation as before her fling with Brian. I'm still young dammit and I still need more excitement, she thought.

----*----

Another couple of months passed and Marla began working on another guy, Ron Baker. His friends called him Bake. He was actually another underwriter but with a different company. He was married, too, and Marla thought that was for the best.

This way he won't get too serious, she thought. She and Bake met for lunches, and some serious flirting, took place.

"How about we spend an afternoon together," Marla suggested. "That way we can have some private time together." It was a not so subtle hint.

"That would be wonderful," Bake said. Marla was ecstatic. She succeeded in lining up another lover and could already feel the wetness between her legs.

My depression problem is solved, Marla thought, and smiled at Bake.

(18 months earlier)

It had been 18 months ago but Kurt remembered it like it was yesterday. A woman, who wouldn't give her name had called him.

"Look," the woman said. "I believe you should know this information. People shouldn't cheat on their spouses," the woman said. "I work with Marla and know something is going on. She takes a three hour lunch every Thursday and has done so for about two months." Then the woman hung up.

It took Kurt by surprise. The caller ID had indicated the call had came from Marla's office.

Marla couldn't be having an affair. Hell she didn't even seem to like to have sex." Married for twenty-nine years, he never saw any indication she would cheat.

Why would she start cheating on me now, he thought. He didn't know what to do. He guessed he needed to find out. It was Friday, so he had almost a full week to figure this out.

He wasn't going to ask Marla about it. He felt stupid to even consider that the crank call was real. He couldn't show distrust after all these years. Over the next week he just ran it through his head. Marla didn't act any differently. He decided to take next Thursday afternoon off and find out for himself.

So there he sat in the parking lot across from Marla's office. It was Thursday and he would see if there was any truth to the information he had received last Friday. Shortly before noon Marla came out of the building and got into her car.

She looked like she didn't have a care in the world and Kurt thought about how she truly was a beautiful woman. The thought of what may be happening made him sad. He could feel his eyes water up. He just prayed she wasn't sharing her body with someone else. He didn't have any idea what he would do if it were true.

Following her was easy. The traffic was light and she didn't seem to be paying any attention to what was going on behind her. Within a few minutes she pulled into the motel parking lot. She got out and walked straight into a room without even looking around.

She's been doing this for a while, he thought.

Kurt was beside himself. He sat there and felt the tears well up in his eyes. He wasn't a man to show his emotions but as he thought about their lives, all the years they had been together and the kids and grandkids. He couldn't help it. It was all too much.

Two hours later Marla and some man he didn't recognize walked out of the room. Both looked like nothing had happened in the room, but Kurt knew better. Marla walked toward her car then stopped and kissed the man as they parted. Kurt didn't take pictures, and he didn't write down the guys plate number. His mind was frozen at the sight of what must have happened over the past couple of hours.

Kurt didn't have any idea what to do next. He decided he couldn't see Marla. He couldn't be in the same room with her until he did some thinking. He drove home and just sat in the kitchen and drank a cup of coffee. Nothing was coming to him. Should he just kick her out? After all these years could it just end that quickly?

----*----

"Marla, Jake called and wants me to go the mountains with him this weekend," Kurt told her on the phone. Mark was supposed to go with him but now can't, so I'm going to go with him." It made Kurt uncomfortable to lie to Marla, even in this unusual situation. "We are leaving after work today so we can get a good camp site and I'm taking Ralph."

"That's fine, Kurt," Marla said.

Listening to her normal voice was hard for Kurt. She is a well practiced cheater, he thought.

Kurt camped that weekend in one of his favorite spots. This alone time was just what he needed. It gave him plenty of time to try and think. He thought about what life would be without Marla. They had been together for so long. They knew each others habits and each others quirks. They were a team getting the day to day things done.

I like to work around the ranch, he thought. Hell, I even like to feed Marla's horses and the chickens. Kurt didn't ride horses but he cared for the animals. He began to think of how they would split. Would he or Marla get the ranch? Marla wouldn't be able to take care of the ranch without help. If Marla left would the horses stay? Maybe she could still come out to the ranch and ride?

Kurt began thinking how he would confront Marla and make her break off the affair. She would have to stop her cheating and they could get some kind of counseling.

But what if she didn't want to stop? Maybe she loved the guy? Maybe she was planning to leave anyway?

Thinking of not growing old together made his heart ache. Having his family together was his favorite thing. He was so proud of his kids. Splitting with Marla was going to be a major blow to them.

Kurt was headed home and after all the thinking, he still hadn't come up with a plan. He realized that eventually he would split from Marla. He couldn't live with her cheating, and she was probably in love with the guy anyway.

She's only staying with me to spare me the pain, Kurt thought. Well, it's too late for that now.

Kurt realized as he drove home that he still didn't have a plan. He still didn't know what he was going to do. He understood after he confronted her there was no going back. They would split and their lives would be changed forever. Kurt wasn't sure that it was all worth splitting. He needed more time to think so when he got back to the ranch, he didn't do anything. Marla acted like she always did. She was happy to see him.
