Paying The Piper
I was still waiting for the shoe to drop the next morning, but I had to submit a bid for a local store that was doing remodeling and wanted all the refuse hauled away. So I told Samantha I would be back in a couple of hours, and told her I would call to see if we needed anything before returning home. When I called to see if we needed anything, Samantha said we were good and that Liz and Ted were there. I asked if everything was okay because she seemed to be reserved in how she was talking. She replied that it was getting interesting and she would fill me in when I got home. Interesting was a word I didn't want to hear where Ted was involved.
When I got back to the house, first thing I noticed was Liz and Samantha appeared upset about something, and Ted was walking across the yard back to their place.
This whole situation was getting my stomach flipping from nerves. Why did things always have to get complicated? As I got closer to where Liz and Samantha were, I heard Liz tell Samantha she would be back in an hour or so and she headed home. No nod or wave--damn it, this was getting worse by the moment.
I looked at Samantha and glanced at Liz's retreating back and then back to Samantha. I gave Samantha a questioning look hoping she would say something. She walked over to the patio fridge and grabbed two coolers and asked me to come inside so we could talk.
We didn't even get a chance to talk about last night and we had problems. As I followed Samantha into the house, I was going over everything Ted had hinted at during our many conversations while working on the table. None of it was good. He was a self-centered prick and I was beginning to see him as not just an ass-hole but as the whole ass.
Samantha went straight to the rec room and handed me one of the coolers and patted the spot next to her on the sofa. I felt like shit, but turned sideways facing her with an okay-now-what look, while taking a long pull from my wine cooler.
She said it was a long story, and to be patient. Samantha said that Liz had hired a PI to watch Ted, and after waiting a month, the PI had finally showed up with evidence that Ted was selling porn movies.
I told Samantha that wasn't a surprise, as Ted had been acting really weird of late. I told her about him asking if we would be interested in joining a local swing club the night I had sent him home. I told her the whole conversation Ted and I had that night and how I had reacted.
Samantha said that Liz had talked to her about the same thing many times and that they had decided to let it drop for the time being. Ted had kept bugging Liz to keep it going no matter what Samantha said and Liz was getting worried about Ted's persistence. Around the same time Liz found a savings book in a company name she didn't know, and when she asked him about it he got angry. He told her that he had started a new company and it was none of her business and to keep her mouth shut about it. The account had a balance of over $315,000 and it scared her. So she had hired a PI to look into the matter.
I was shocked that porn movies were such a moneymaker. I asked Samantha how Liz was doing, and what she was going to do about it. She said Liz had filed for a divorce and that she was throwing Ted out of the house and selling it as well as everything they jointly owned. Liz had said that her lawyer was handling everything for her free of charge and that Ted was going to be very sorry when it was all said and done.
From the way Liz described it, Ted had started his company at the same time we started working on the storage unit with the table. If my stomach had been upset before, it was now on a major roller coaster ride.
It took me for a loop when Samantha said it wasn't my fault, but she thought it was time we brought the exam table home where it belonged. I asked her where she wanted it and she said the garage was good for now. I asked what she wanted to do with the stuff that belonged to Liz and Ted and she replied that Liz was cleaning it out right now. I told her I was going to need help tearing and loading it because the base was heavy and she told me that help would be there. When I looked at her with a weird look, she told me to let her finish with the story.
Samantha said she was waiting for Liz to get back to find out the whole story. Liz had told her that the lawyer and PI were both in the little swing group they belonged to, and were with her right now at the storage unit. Before I could ask her, she said that Ted had been using the unit to film his movies. This tidbit of information did nothing to help my queasy stomach.
I asked Samantha how she was feeling about all this so far. She said that until we heard back from Liz she wasn't going to say anything and that she did not hold me at fault for any of it.
I asked her what her plans were for the table after all this and she said she was not going to give it up for anything. She went on to say that she had come up with a floor plan for our new rec room, or rather how she wanted this one to be. I asked her to show it to me and explain what she wanted to do.
She asked me if I wanted another wine cooler while she was getting the plans. I hadn't noticed finishing the first one and told her I would just go get a glass of water for now. I needed a clear head to make sure I missed nothing now or when Liz got back. My gut said it was going to be bad.
When we got settled into looking over the plans Samantha said some of the changes were up in the air because she knew some of them were going to cost more than she had originally thought. I noticed she had more than one set of plans drawn up but figured on a wait and see basis.
The first set of plans had the table set up about ten feet away from the fireplace. There also seemed to be slots running away from both ends of the table. When I asked about it Samantha said it would be easier to move the table for cleaning or if it got too hot with a fire burning. She was figuring on wheels or a roller track. It showed a large sofa bed, end tables, in-wall cabinets or spaces, I wasn't sure yet. It seemed she had put some time into these plans.
The second set showed what appeared to be a raised floor with three tiers of steps leading up to a large space with a large sofa bed on one side, a coffee table, and cabinets or chest of drawers on either side. A wide screen TV and entertainment center was marked for the opposite wall. The exam table was set up the same as the first set of plans, in front of the fireplace.
Samantha had a third set of plans sitting there and when I asked her she said they were for later, as they were still not finished. When I said that was OK I would still like to look at them, she said not yet, it was for the future, maybe.
We heard someone knocking on the back door and went to see if Liz was back. Sure enough it was Liz and she had two men with her each holding a large box. I opened the door and asked them in, telling the men they could set the boxes on the counter. Liz introduced her lawyer as Dave and the PI as Bob. I had seen both of them around the neighborhood mowing grass or doing yard work. Liz said that we might want to look at some tapes before we talked as a group. I looked at Samantha who was staring at Liz, waiting for her to continue talking. I asked her how many tapes she was talking about. Neither her nor Liz answered me. I asked Samantha if she wanted to talk to Liz in the rec room while we went out to the patio and had a beer. Then they would meet us out on the patio when they were done talking or whatever.
Samantha grabbed one box and Liz grabbed the other and off they went without a word, so I told the two men to follow me out to the patio for a beer. When we were all seated I asked them how bad was this going to get. The PI said he had known Ted for almost fifteen years and had never once believed he would do something like this.
The lawyer said that it would depend on how the affected parties reacted as a whole because it would have far reaching damage if it was not handled right. When I asked how many people were involved, they said that it might include the whole swing group at one time or another and then paused. I went to ask him more as my gut knotted up and he said it would be best to wait for Liz and my wife to return.
I asked him if they had removed all evidence of Ted's deception from the storage unit. Bob said that he had used all of his sources to make sure everything was detected and removed. He had gone as far as to pose as a distributor and had purchased exclusive rights to all of Ted's material. So anything that made it out prior was solely owned by their group, which would allow them to control sales. Which allowed them to cancel shipments and recall deliveries as defective. Some things might slip through but they had done everything possible to clean up the mess Ted had made. It was now a wait and see situation and all concerned were crossing their fingers and watching. Dave explained that since the setup was in our rental unit, Samantha and I would have more say in the end as far as their group was concerned as to where it would end up.
I didn't understand where this conversation was coming from and asked Dave why we had to decide what was going to happen. He said that I would have to wait and see, that Liz had requested that she and my wife be the ones to explain everything to me. Both Dave and Bob had felt it would be best for all concerned if it was handled that way.
I asked them what all they could tell me because it was not adding up right. Bob said to ask them any questions I wanted and if it was something they could tell me they would. Now all I had to do was decide what I really wanted to know and what could wait for Samantha and Liz to answer.
I asked them what they had found out about the setup Ted had at the unit. They said he had actually rented the unit on the opposite side and had set up several camera's and mic's on and around the table giving him at last count eighteen different camera angles and the capability to pick up any sound anywhere inside and just outside the unit. All of them sending signals to recording equipment set up in his unit. I asked him how this affected members of their group. Both men showed signs of discomfort at this question. I asked them if Ted had included their members in the use of the table and they said that various members had in one way or another been in on it from the beginning.
That was not something I wanted to hear. They explained that the fur coats, carpet, lighting, furniture, fridge, paneling, dry cleaning etc., etc. had all been supplied by their members. When I said that I had been paying for all my own dry cleaning Dave reached into his pocket and pulled an envelope out handing it to me. Before I could ask him about it, I noticed it was from the dry cleaner Ted had taken me to so I would get a good price. Dave said I could open it now or wait for Samantha and Liz. I opted to wait for the girls and continue with my questions. Why not, it seems they knew a lot more than I did about what was on the tapes.
I asked how many people had been using the unit that I was not aware of. Bob and Dave both looked rather sheepish, but it was Dave who told me that from what they had determined so far everyone had at one time or another used it, some had been there more than once. Well I had wondered why I had seen more furniture there than what was there in the beginning. I asked them if it had been used by their group as a whole or if it was just couples. Why it made a difference to me I had no idea. Dave said it had been a very popular site for couples and as a group, and that many of the guys had really gotten into the fantasy I had brought to life. There were many spin-offs that the group had been able to fulfill, and Bob said his wife had a really hard time when she went to her OB-GYN for her check-up. She had slipped up and asked her doctor where the padding was for his stirrups.
I asked how their group knew we had no plans to use it, and didn't worry about us stopping by. Both of them became red faced and said I would have to ask the girls. This was beginning to look like my wife was involved far more than I cared to know about at the moment. I trusted my wife to be honest with me about everything and it would seem she had been involved at least to some extent with Liz and her group of swingers. How do you broach a subject like this without getting hurt feelings or having your heart ripped out?
An older gentleman was walking over from Liz and Ted's house and motioned to Dave and Bob. Bob told me that he worked for him, and that they had been supervising Ted's activities, making sure he packed up only what Liz said he could take from the house. Both Dave and Bob got up saying they would return shortly and went to meet him. I could hear Dave say that Ted was not to have something he was loading in his SUV. Ted was upset about it and the only way he was going to give in was that if Bob had his men pull Ted away from the SUV. Dave pulled out a package from the SUV and gave it to Bob who motioned for me to approach. When I got to him he gave me an express mail pouch and asked me to set it in our kitchen, and to tell Liz he wanted her to come over to the house.
When I got back to the house I called for Liz to come to the kitchen. Both Samantha and Liz came in and I told Liz that Dave and Bob had taken this package away from Ted and that Bob had asked if she would come over to the house. Liz said OK, and she would be back soon.
I set the package on the counter and followed Liz out the door only I went back to the patio, grabbed another wine cooler, climbed onto my hammock, pulled the sun cover out, then took a long drink and closed my eyes in thought. After a couple of minutes I looked up at the back door to find Samantha standing watching me. I asked her if she wanted to share a drink and cuddle on my hammock. She said she would be right out, to give her a minute. She came out about five minutes later, dressed in shorts and a halter-top. She went to climb in the back and I told her I wanted to see what was going on over at Ted's to please lie in front.
I was shocked when Salato's Auction truck backed up into their driveway and three big guys climbed out. It took them twenty minutes to empty out Ted's workshop and the garage contents into the box truck, and as that one pulled out another backed in.
I asked Samantha if Ted had returned the tools he had borrowed last week and she said she wasn't sure but she thought he might have borrowed my new drill two days ago. Now that really sucked!
I figured I might as well ask since Samantha was not going to offer any answers on her own. It was going to be bad, I knew that, but the piper had shown up demanding payment and pay we would. Just how much, was what I needed to find out. I asked her how bad things had gotten that she was not talking already, and why was it that I had to ask instead of her offering the details.
Samantha said that it all boiled down to one sad excuse. She had been captivated by the many fantasies revolving around the exam table. I was not going to take the blame and I told her so, at least not all of it. She said it wasn't my fault and she did not blame me. I told her that I blamed myself for this whole mess, but it was different to blame myself than others holding me accountable. It was stupid, but it was the way I felt, others were accountable for what they did, as they were not invited to partake. I asked her what she was not saying, because it just made her look all that more guilty. I told her I had always trusted her not to do anything stupid enough to end our marriage. Just spit it out, that way we could move on. She said that she and Liz had talked about her fantasies and come up with a workable plan while I made up my mind on what we were going to do with ours. Ok, I said what did you do that you feel guilty about.
Samantha said she and Liz had decided Samantha could watch, which would be the same as watching a porn movie, only it would be live. I thought that was a twisted view but let her continue. It dawned on me that this explained a lot about what I had been working on Samantha to tell me all this time. I had to stop her and ask her to repeat what she had said after that statement. When she looked at me puzzled I snickered and told her that it had dawned on me that this was what she had been hiding when she was having her mind-blowing orgasms for the better part of a month. Her eyes got big and she looked ashamed and I told her I wanted to hear more about what had happened, that her and Liz's reasoning had sounded lame but not unfounded either. She explained that She and Liz would set up a time for members of the swing group who Liz had dazzled with her and Ted's escapades at the storage unit, to meet there. Liz and whoever she had invited would meet them there and do whatever while Samantha would watch from the sidelines, never interacting with them, just watching. One of the guys had made a lifeguard chair where she would sit with her whistle, eight feet above the floor and enjoy the activities. After the first time she wore her skimpy bathing suit so she would have easy access to her nipples and pussy when she got excited and needed to relieve her desire.
In one sense I was pissed that others had, not might have, but had watched my wife play with herself, but relieved that she had not lost control and joined in.
I asked her if all she did was watch and not join them, why did she feel guilty. She hesitated to answer then said that only one time had she climbed down from her chair and Liz had stopped her before she did anything, sending her back up to her seat. It didn't stop her from pulling her swim suit bottom off and stuffing as many of her fingers as she could get into her pussy in front of everyone there and uttering mindless babble as she came so hard she passed out and almost fell out of her chair. I asked her what was going on that she had lost her cool.
Samantha looked me in the eye and said she did not want to tell me right now, but she would later, when we were in bed. She said that it got her too excited and she would need me to get off enough that she would not be horny afterwards. I felt like telling her I wanted to see her lose it and stuff her pussy the same way she did that day and I think she saw it on my face too because she said please. When I hesitated to answer her, tears started welling in her eyes. I told her I would see what I could do to make sure she got off enough.
As she calmed down I asked her if it was on one of the tapes she and Liz had been looking at. She got upset and tried to get off the hammock, but I had been waiting for her to try that since she had started talking.
When Samantha would get upset, nervous, or feeling guilty about something she would put space between us until she calmed down. She would drive me nuts, pacing back and forth while talking so fast I had trouble following what she was saying.
I told her flat out that as long as she did not let anybody touch her and it all was as she had told me, so what, I could live with what she had said she had done. I asked her if that was all there was to it. Samantha said there was one other thing she had done and that was she had used the toys I had bought to get off after that episode.
Damn, was all I could think of at the time. People had watched her pummel her pussy with toys and I had missed out. Samantha would not use the toys on herself when we were in bed and I had asked her so many times. But at the same time I had watched her do it while she was watching a porn flick when she thought I wasn't home. I had never told her and I wasn't going to tell her now either. Maybe I should have, but it had gotten me off many times when she was working and I was home alone and horny.
I told Samantha that I was not going to feel guilty asking her to play with her toys from now on and that I felt if she could do what she did in front of strangers, I was more deserving. The way she was looking back at me had me thinking that she was figuring ya right, but what she said shocked me more. She said I would be shocked as to who was in the group and who had seen her performance. I said I wanted to see it and went to roll off the hammock, but she caught me and said it would not be fair to the others. That stopped me cold, but at the same time they had been there without my consent, but they did have my wife's consent. Arggggggg this sucked and I told her it wasn't fair.
We had heard Ted's excited voice a couple times, along with laughter from Liz. We watched as the last truck pulled out of their driveway. Not bad three hours from start to finish. We watched Ted drive off followed by Bob and his crew right behind him and Liz and Dave were on their way back.
When they got to the patio, I told Liz to grab a cooler for both of them and grab a seat. I asked her if she was ok, she looked exhausted. She said it was not something she thought she would ever have to do, but that it felt right and she was not sorry about what she had done. Ted had used her and their friends in a way that was unforgivable and he was reaping his just rewards. Liz said it was almost done now. A locksmith was changing the locks and resetting the access codes for the security system now. The realtor was doing his thing, taking pictures and measurements for the listing, and if we didn't mind he would be over when he was done so she could sign the papers. Samantha told her that was not a problem. She also asked what Liz was going to do for living arrangements while she was waiting on a buyer. Liz said she had thought about a hotel but wasn't too happy with that. She had also thought about going to visit her mom and dad but did not want to answer any of their questions. She said she had a couple offers to stay with some people from their group but did not want to impose after what her husband had done to them.
Samantha looked to me and I just shrugged my shoulders and said she would be welcome here if she would be OK with it. We had two guestrooms away from the main part of the house for when our parents dropped in. The rooms both had small bathrooms attached so they had their privacy and so did we that way. Besides, I told her she could keep an eye on the house while she waited for a buyer. Dave said it sounded like the best thing for now and reminded her that she had his and Bob's cell numbers in case Ted tried something.
Liz asked Samantha what I had decided I wanted to do now. Samantha said that she had not had time to explain everything to me yet and that maybe it would be best if we all talked about the important parts after we had something to eat. I asked if I was going to need my Tums bottle as my stomach had been upset pretty bad today already. Dave said he hoped not, as he was in charge of settling this as quietly as possible between Samantha and myself and their group. I told him that I wasn't sure what our stake in this was but that I too would like it a lot if it would quietly go into the night as soon as possible.
I asked if fish ' n chips would be fine and everyone said it was. I ordered more than enough and asked them for the total and if someone there would consider delivering it for a US Grant. That seemed to cause a stir on the other end of the phone. I gave them the address and was told it would be there in twenty minutes. Dave pulled a Grant out of his wallet saying he was more than willing to pay for dinner, as he could claim it on his taxes. I went to say that was OK but Liz and Samantha both said it would be fine for him to foot the bill as he would be collecting from Ted's half of the settlement.
When Samantha and Liz went to go inside for plates and what all, I mentioned that we could set it up in the rec room and discuss what needed to be done to finish clearing this up. Dave said it sounded good, as it was beginning to look like it might storm soon. When we walked inside the delivery girl knocked at the door.
We were all gathered around the rec room and I asked Dave what it was that Samantha and I needed to decide on. He said that since it was actually our unit that had been used without consent for filming it was one issue. Two, we had been filmed exclusively on at least two or more occasions. The first time was the start of everything that followed.
I'm not sure how they thought I was going to react to this information but I just about passed out from the pain in my stomach. Dave looked at both Samantha and Liz and asked them if they had told me anything about what had gone on and if not, why the hell didn't' t they warn him before he started.
It took a couple minutes for me to calm my stomach down. I gave the girls a mean look and asked Dave just what we needed to do to clear it up. I didn't need to know any more details now, just what we had to do, the rest could wait till another time. Dave said that since I had heard the worst part and knew what Ted had done, it would stand to reason I could figure out what had happened. I told him that part was true, so what now? Dave said the group had decided that Samantha and I were entitled to a settlement from Ted's earnings from the movies he had sold and also from his divorce settlement. I asked why the divorce was being included and Dave said that some of the things Ted had bought were from those funds and Liz said it was only fair.
I looked at Samantha and then again at Liz and asked them if that was why they had been talking about remodeling the rec room last week. It startled Dave that I knew about it. I told him that it would seem that some things were considered OK while the important stuff was left out.
I told both girls that sneaking was making them both look guilty as all hell, and that I had thought them both above what they had done. My next statement shocked all three of them. I said that since I was not allowed to watch the films containing my wife and her lifeguard's chair, I wanted Liz to cut all the scenes of Samantha out and put them on one tape for me, without any help from or observation by anyone else. I laughed and said it was fair play with what they had done to me. I also said that Samantha and Liz could figure out what to do and I would go along with whatever Samantha decided on as a settlement, as long as when it was all done I would be told everything and I meant every detail of it. No more sneaking and hiding because it always came out in the end, just like now. I said I felt there was more that had gone on but that I didn't feel it needed to come to light now, it had it's time and place and this was not it.
I asked Liz if she had made up her mind about staying with us and she said that if Samantha was OK with it she would be fine staying here. I asked Dave to give me a hand taking all the boxes to the spare bedroom so the girls could talk and make up their minds. It wasn't going to happen with us sitting there anyway.
Dave and I placed the boxes in the room Liz would be using if she so decided then went back outside. Dave told me that when I was ready, people were ready to help tear down the table and bring it here and set it off, or set it up, whatever I decided. I told him my first thought was to take it to the car crusher and watch it get cubed. He went to say something and I laughed and told him Samantha was not going to give it up. I asked Dave why everyone had been so excited about the table. He looked at me like that was a dumb question, and asked me why I had to ask. He said every guy he knew always wondered about those tables when their wives acted embarrassed about the exams. I told him that at one time I was going to buy some of the instruments that went with the exam table but had changed my mind. I could see he was getting ideas in his head and told him if everything worked out I would give him the web site. I said that as much as I had been through today I did not want to go digging for it right now. I told him I wanted a shower, to cruise the web for half an hour, then check my email and go to bed.
We were heading back to where Samantha and Liz were but they met us in the hallway. Liz said she would stay with us if we would let her pay her way with food and utilities. I looked at Samantha and asked her if that was what they had decided. She said it was up to me, and I flat out told her that a lot of things that had gone on had not been okayed by me so why did they think this needed to be okayed now. I said it was fine with me but don't make it out like if I said no, then it was no.
I told them all I was sorry about being grumpy, but with all that had happened I was just moody and tired. I told Dave I would be ready to move the table tomorrow, just let me know when everyone would be available and I would meet them there. Since I had cleaned out the garage, space was not a problem. I mentioned to Samantha that if Liz wanted to store some personal items, she could use the other spare bedroom, and that I was going to get a shower and check my email then go to bed.
I asked Liz if making a tape of ALL the footage of Samantha was too much to ask. Samantha asked why I needed all of it and not just the best parts. I just smiled and told Liz all of it and don't cut the sound or do a sound over. Samantha and Liz just looked at each other until Dave broke in and said he would do it if Liz had a problem with it. I thanked him but said I trusted Liz, and Samantha would do the right thing, that they had both agreed to no more sneaking or telling lies. "Right girls?" You could see they didn't want to admit it, but they did as I was walking upstairs, thanking Dave for the dinner, and for helping us out with this, and told him that I would be waiting to hear from him in the morning.
As I entered the shower I kept thinking how I hated getting bitchy like I just had in front of people. I am usually an easygoing guy, but when things turned to shit like they had today, one thing after another, my nerves got shot quickly and I could turn into an asshole. I was not a pleasant person to be around. Well too late now to take any of it back, I would just have to hope for the best but I had this feeling that I had been lied to about something important. Maybe I would do some digging of my own but I wasn't dumb either, maybe it was something I didn't need or want to know about.
As I shut the water off and went to get out of the shower Samantha called from the bedroom asking me if I was going to be long. I told her I was done and would be going to bed as soon as I checked my email. I asked her if there were any wine coolers left downstairs and she said no, the last two were on our dresser.
When I finished toweling off I noticed my robe was not on the back of the bathroom door. I know it had been there when I had closed the door. So wrapped in a towel I entered our bedroom to find candles lit up all around our room and soft music playing on the sound system. A cold wine cooler sitting on a coaster next to my mouse pad and my computer was booted up and logged on. I got my new robe out of the closet and put it on.
Samantha had been pissed at me when I had set up a computer center in our bedroom. I had explained that it kept me from cruising the net till late hours, since she always woke up when she got cold and I wasn't there to cuddle up to and reminded me to come to bed. When I wanted to play online games I always used the one in my office downstairs.
By the time I finished reading my email and started looking for Dave's site, my wine cooler was empty. The other wine cooler was sitting on the stand next to the bed. I called out asking Samantha if she minded if I had some of hers. I waited a couple seconds for her answer. When she didn't I went looking for her.
I found her talking with Liz and Dave downstairs in the rec room. I asked them if they had made up their minds yet on anything. Dave asked me if I thought a set percentage of the funds would be more to my liking. I asked him what it would include, and he said the total. Liz had received two offers on the house already and was considering taking one of them but would probably wait till tomorrow to decide. It appeared that members of their group wanted the house and had the funds available for a quick sale. I said that if Samantha was OK with it, so was I, but Samantha said it would be a large chunk of money and she needed me to go over the figures with her. It was just too much money for her to make that choice.
I asked Dave what kind of money he was talking about because I did not want Liz to be hurt by the amount we would receive. I could see Liz was uneasy about it but said not to worry about her as she had a trust fund from her grandparents and it was more than she would ever need. She had never told Ted about it and had never had to take anything from it yet. It had been sitting there for a little over fifteen years, two years before she had married Ted. She said she didn't care if any money was left from this part of her life. It was not something she wanted to be reminded of.
Dave said what he thought was a ballpark 50% figure. I now knew what Samantha had meant--it was indeed a large sum of money. I asked Dave why 50% and he said that was the minimum figure he was to offer us. I asked if he could help set up an investment portfolio as well so that there would be no delay between settlement and investment. He said that was part of the settlement arrangements Liz had demanded from the start. I said I was never a greedy person and Liz flat out told me that the figure Dave had said was probably less than half what she made in interest each year. I told Liz to say an amount equal to how much she wanted Ted to suffer and leave it at that. She looked at Dave and said do it. I asked her if she had already made up her mind and Samantha and Liz both said yes but the final say was mine.
I looked at them all, shell-shocked, then turned away to head back upstairs. I told Samantha if she wanted any of the last wine cooler, not to wait too long. I told Dave if he was at the unit tomorrow I would give him the web addy. I said goodnight to all and waved over my shoulder as I went back to my PC, snickering to myself when I heard the girls ask him about it.
When Samantha came up to bed, I was just starting to dose off. I asked if Liz was settled in and she said that David was keeping her company tonight with his wife's OK. She said that Dave's wife was one of the people who submitted a bid for the house. Then she had called Dave and told him she had made Liz an offer. Wow, what a group! was all I could think of. Then a thought popped in my head and I asked Samantha if we had anything to do with the group bidding on Liz's house. She just stared. When she did go to say something, I told her she had taken too long, and I had my answer. I had not thought about Liz having guests over when I had said OK to her staying, but I would get to meet the group little by little.
I had put all but one candle out before lying down and I put that one out too. I told Samantha I just wanted to spoon her tonight. She told me to please ask her for the rest of the story any time. I told her she better believe I was going to, one way or another. She asked me if I was upset with her. I told her I was more disappointed than anything. I still loved her and wanted her as much as I did the day I met her.
I told her that the first time I view the film Liz was putting together was going to be for me alone. Then if she wanted to see what I saw and talk we could watch it together. She said that was a bit harsh. I said no worse than sitting with two guys I didn't know but my wife had seen doing things of a sexual nature close up and live. Add in the fact that they had watched her play with herself and then use toys to get herself off. That was excessive in my book. I told her I was sorry for getting bitchy again; it was just too soon to bring it up. We would both feel better in the morning, and we could discuss it after I got the exam table home and set off in the garage. I almost forgot to ask her what was in the box Ted was so set on taking. She said that Liz thought it might be the tape of when we were last at the unit. I asked her if Liz was watching it now and she said that Liz said she would check it when she was alone and would let us know.
I told her that as far as I was concerned her watching everyone was OK, but I was having a problem with her doing her thing in front of them and never in front of me when I had asked her so often. I was sure I could work through that part and not say anything about it again. After that it was going to be a wait and see matter. I spooned her and kissed her neck and told her I loved her very much.
We were all up about by 6:30 am and decided to go out to Denny's for breakfast. Dave made a couple calls when we were done so the girls headed home and Dave and I went to meet the others at the unit. I was glad I knew some of them from around the neighborhood. It went well, only taking about twenty minutes to tear it down. It was light enough to lift easily into the back of my pick-up. We placed the attachments and drawers into the back of another truck and headed for the house.
I called Samantha so she would have something to eat and drink for everyone when we were done unloading. Dave asked me if I had the web addy for him to check out and I said I did, it was in my wallet on a card. I told him I would give it to him when we got to the house. I had forgotten about it before we left the house this morning, and besides, I wanted to see what Samantha and Liz's reaction would be when I gave it to him.
