What about this - a woman cuckolds her husband using his best friend - yeah, like that's never happened. What might have been the result of him finding out?

Well, there's always the legal system...

Icky Rickie

"Sam Santangilo here and welcome back to our year end wrap-up of Day In Court TV. We've saved the best for last. Oh yes, it's time for our annual update on the continuing courtroom drama and life travails of Erica Montgomery, or as our viewers have come to call her, Icky Rickie. Let's go to our courthouse correspondent Estella Greenwood for the latest news. "Estella - wow can I just say you're looking quite chic in that outfit? - 'stella I understand you have something special for our viewers tonight. Is that correct?"

"Hi Sam and thanks for the compliment. I do have something special for our viewers tonight. Sam as you well know we are in year five of one of the longest running courtroom escapades in Breaker County history. This ordeal has been going on for so long that we're going to take our viewers back to the very beginning and bring everyone up to speed. Our long time viewers will want to stay with us right through to the end as we are going to break a huge scoop. Buckle up; it's liable to be a pretty wild and parents take note this is likely to be a very naughty ride.

"Sam, I'm holding a local newspaper from five years ago. In the legal notices section, you can see this small entry - right here. We've blown it up so you can see it on your TV screen now. It reads - Divorced granted to: Charles and Erica Montgomery. Blah, blah, blah and it cites "Irreconcilable Differences" as the reason.

"A simple published item referring to the legal dissolution of a marriage of twenty-one years. Nothing very newsworthy there - other then to the family and friends involved. It's something that happens all the time. And in most cases, that would have been the end of it. This little item wasn't the end, oh no as our faithful viewers know it was just the beginning. This was more like a fuse and it was about to blow up big time.

"Shortly after the divorce Charles Montgomery filed a lawsuit against Erica Montgomery and an unnamed co-conspirator, accusing them of defrauding Mr. Montgomery. He was asking for one million dollars in restitution. Now what was unusual here was the Mr. Montgomery stated he have definitive proof of the fraud, but...isn't there's always a "but" in something like this? The "but" was that if the former Mrs. Montgomery, we'll just call her Erica from here out, and her unnamed co-conspirator publicly admitted their fraud on the courthouse steps, on a specified date he, Mr. Montgomery, would settle for a mere hundred thousand dollars cash - case closed.

"Well since we're still following this story, obviously there was no public admission on the courthouse steps. Interestingly enough, the date specified by Mr. Montgomery would have been the Montgomery's wedding anniversary. Evidently, it was a slow news day, and a crew was tipped off to the intended antics of Mr. Montgomery and the possible whereabouts of Erica Montgomery. Charles was filmed on the courthouse steps calling out "Erica, oh Erica, come out come out from under your rock."

Erica was successfully tracked down and interviewed. Erica informed the reporters present that Charles was a recovering alcoholic who had evidently fallen off the wagon and landed on his head. Erica suggested that Charles was mentally unbalanced and needed treatment. She said that Charles's children were worried about him. There are, by the way, four Montgomery children who live with their mother.

"The lawsuit slowly wound it's way through the legal process. Legal observers had stated that it was looking rather dim for Charles. Then came bombshell number one and that was when this case was catapulted into the public eye and has remained there ever since. We're going to break for commercials, but when we come back, actual video from Charles Montgomery's day in court. Stay tuned."

Estella Greenwood held her smile until her cameraman signaled "off-air." He stepped around from behind the camera and glared. "What the fuck was that all about? "You're looking quite hot Ms. Greenwood...mind if I lick the side of your face?"

"Oh Gary, he didn't say that..."

"Bullshit Es." Gary paced back and forth. "Is it over or isn't it?"

"It's over sweetie. I swear it. Sam was just a distraction while we were apart...that's all. Once we got back together...there's only been you. I love you Gary."

"I just...I just don't know. The break was your idea and the next thing I know you're screwing around with Mr. Perfect-smile.

"But I'm with Mr. Perfect-cock - now. I guess I'll just have to prove after the broadcast. I'll prove to you I'm the only woman for you Gary. Light's blinking let's get ready. How do I look?"

"Totally fuckable...and we're just about ready to go back up in five...four...three...

"Welcome back to Day In Court TV, Estella Greenwood reporting. Charles Montgomery was a forty four year old man, recently divorced from his former wife Erica. They shared custody of the four Montgomery children and Mr. Montgomery was up to date on all of his financial commitments regarding child support. Charles had accused his ex-wife and an unnamed co-conspirator of defrauding him; he was claiming one million dollars in damages. Well Charles finally got his day in court in what looked like a hopeless case. This was a hearing to see if sufficient proof justified a trial. We have video of the dramatic revelation that took place that day. We apologise for the quality of the video as it's a home handheld home camcorder. It begins with Erica's lawyer talking to the judge. I think you'll find that this more then speaks for itself. Those viewers with young children should know that very adult situations are described within this clip.

Lawyer: "Your honor this is a classic example of a frivolous lawsuit - how much longer will our time be wasted? Mr. Montgomery has not produced the smallest shred of credible evidence regarding the "alleged" fraud - can we all just go home, please?"

Judge: "Mr. Montgomery. I have to agree with your ex-wife's counsel. Unless you have something concrete..."

Charles Montgomery: "I have Your Honor. A few years ago a co-worker of mine, Mike Browner, got married. As a young boy Mike had the German measles and due to the ravages of that disease; he was sterile. The guys, by that I mean his co-workers, thought it would be funny - well it seemed funny at the time - to present Mike and his bride with our sperm. See one of the guys had a sister who was a nurse at a fertility clinic and we all agreed, that we would and um...well, you know donate to the cause so to speak. We paid extra to have the clinic label the samples and test them for overall quality. We gave Mike the vials at his bachelor party. He thought it was pretty funny. We all had a really good laugh.

"Then Mike started reading off our names and the clinic's assessments of our sperm quality. I was surprised to end up last - according to the clinic I was sterile. Now all my co-workers knew that I have four great kids so everyone laughed and said I shouldn't have given a sample if I'd already had a vasectomy. They all thought I just wanted an opportunity to masturbate..."

Lawyer: "Your honor, please! For the sake of the decorum of this court!"

Judge: "Mr. Montgomery..."

Charles Montgomery: "I'm sorry your Honor but this is very important information. Your Honor, as I said I am a father of four, Well I've never had a vasectomy and now I find out that I'm sterile? I went back to the clinic and asked them to re-test me - that sample came back sterile. Then I went to a urologist - sterile again, he insisted that I had probably been sterile all my life. I went to a second urologist who specialized in male infertility. These are copies of those reports your Honor. The second urologist agreed with the previous one - I was sterile and likely had been all my life.

"Your Honor I am suing my ex-wife for fraud as I cannot possibly be the biological father of our children. Four kids whom I love dearly and who are themselves innocent victims of a heinous, immoral crime. Innocent children that I couldn't have possibly fathered."

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" ("Estella Greenwood here, that scream was Erica Montgomery as she finally understood what Charles was claiming.")

"Your Honor, needless to say I was distraught. I was depressed. But I also knew that I had to do something. I had to be certain so I sent away for paternity test kits to be absolutely sure that I was not the biological father. Here are the tests I took. The tests were conclusive - there is no possible way that I am the biological father of my children.

"However, the tests did indicate one man was the biological father. Needless to say, I went a little crazy during this period. I became obsessed with finding out who Erica was screwing around with behind my back. I started to surreptitiously collect DNA samples of every male I could - remember all those poker parties I hosted Erica; friends, neighbors, family members? It took me a while but my efforts paid off."

"You had your chance Erica. You could have kept this quiet. Now everybody is going to what you did and what kind of wife you are."

"Your Honor I'm dropping this lawsuit and I'll be filing a new one - I want ten million dollars now. Against my ex-wife and the mastermind of this conspiracy to cuckold and defraud me..."

"No Charles. Please don't do this. It'll kill him." Erica Montgomery's face was a mask of anguish.

Charles Montgomery: "How do you think it affected me? I'm filing against my ex-wife and - my former best friend Richard Chambers!"

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooo."

"Sam here, now Estella the introduction of the previously un-named co-conspirator was revealed as one Richard Chambers. Needless to say the Chambers revelation set off quite a tumult in the court as I recall from earlier broadcasts. Reporters and investigators went crazy digging around for information about Mr. Chambers. Tell us a little about Mr. Chambers Estell'."

"Sure thing Sam. Richard "Dick" Chambers is, correction, was Charles Montgomery's best friend dating all the way back to grade school. He is a single man and has never been married. Until this courtroom drama began Mr. Chambers lived a very low profile life. There wasn't much there there, just a very quiet local man.

"The whole situation would have likely stayed local except for one very small but significant detail. Mr. Chambers is something of a computer software genius. His area of expertise is in security software. A little reportorial digging turned up the fact that Mr. Chambers had a very fat and up to this point very secret software contract with a well known federal security agency. One based in Maryland, the "you-know-what."

"Now the local Fox News affiliate had been running Mr. Montgomery's cuckolded husband story from a "family values" slant. They were running pretty effectively with that until the government contract information came to light and then a little cross checking revealed that Mr. Chambers had made a rather substantial contribution to the current Presidents Re-election Campaign. Puts a whole new spin on family values doesn't it Sam?"

"That was when the story broke nationwide and with all the allegations of infidelity and sleazy sex - Hollywood came a-calling. Seemingly within weeks, there were teams of lawyers (entertainment, criminal, contractual, and family) representing, Charles, Erica, Dick and all four kids. At one court appearance there were nineteen lawyers present - it was absolute chaos.

"That's when things got real interesting, eh Estella?"

"You're right Sam. The publicity was causing Mr. Chambers a great deal of anxiety and he suffered, well, the press release called it "exhaustion." Others have characterized it as a nervous breakdown.

"That's when one of the kids lawyers filed against Mr. Chambers for control of his company seeking Power of Attorney, citing mental impairment and diminished capacity. They wanted to take over the operations of the company. The very next day the other three kids got involved. Then the kids filed as a group for emancipation from Erica after it was discovered that she was a partner in the Chambers software business.

"Then bombshell number two. Erica Montgomery filed suit against her lover Dick Chambers, admittedly the father of her four children. She alleged that the sexual relationship was coercive and that it was only since this had all come to light that she was able to separate herself away from his "Svengali like" influence. She purportedly had a videotape of a lie-detector test she took that confirmed that the sex contact initiated by Mr. Chambers was non-consensual.

"Estelle, how did Charles Montgomery react to Rickie's revelation?"

"Funny you should ask Sam? Roll the tape of that please - no sound necessary. Now watch the upper left hand corner of this tape. There right there. We blew this portion up and digitally enhanced it. There we see Charles and Erica Montgomery hugging - now they're talking - look at Erica's body language - experts call this the pose of abject apology - they're talking again - Charles nods, hugs Erica and, and, and there, right there - they are kissing"

"They were later seen entering a downtown hotel. They spent the weekend together and it looked like they were on the road to reconciliation."

"What was happening with Dick Chambers at this point Estella?"

"Dick was in seclusion. After the charges of coerced sex surfaced, Mr. Chambers went underground. When he surfaced, it was time for bombshell number three. Which we'll share with you just as soon as we return after these important messages."

Sam Santangalo look at his manicured nails and frowned, it looked like another night be romanced by his right hand. He glanced at the remote monitor as Estella straightened her jacket. Damn that woman was beautiful. Why she was back with that cameraman Sam had know idea. He'd said as much to his producer, but she had only smiled and shook her head.

Nicole Meadows watched Sam watch the monitor. If he only knew the equipment Gary was packing he's understand. She sure did. She been quick to console the young man when Estella had broken off their relationship. Nicole smiled again, oh how she had consoled Gary. Good Lord but that man had stamina. She heard the countdown and sat in her chair...she missed the soreness Gary had often left her in.

"Estella Greenwood here and we are just about to bring you up to speed..."

"Hey 'stell, Sam here again, has any money changed hands at this point? Is anybody making a buck here? - other than the lawyers?"

"Great question Sam. Relative to the actual lawsuits, only the lawyers have profited. In fact two lawyers have run successfully for public office during this time. Money has been made; by Charles, for movie rights and a serialized version in Esquire magazine; by Erica, movie rights and a tell-all book contract; and the kids, movie rights."

"Nothing for Mr. Chambers?"

"Funny you should mention that Sam. In the previous segment I mentioned that Mr. Chambers went underground after the revelation of forced sex leveled against him by Erica. Six months later Mr. Chambers resurfaced."

"Mr. Chambers said that he was saddened by the recent revelations and other challenges to his privacy. He stated that he loved the Montgomery children and would support them in any way he could and that he wanted to have a normal relationship with them once this was all over. He apologized to Charles and asked forgiveness, stating that he hoped they could mend their friendship.

"Then he talked about Erica. He admitted that he had always loved her. He had considered Charles one of the luckiest men in the world. He admitted that he had known that he was the biological father of the Montgomery children.

"Mr. Chambers declared that Erica was a full and consenting participant in this affair. He spoke of his making Erica a partner in his business and actually produced a facsimile of their agreement. We pointed out that Erica had initialed all of the relevant sections regarding the partnership and then signed the document. Mr. Chambers reference a section of the contract and then handed out a website URL.

"The section he referenced related to the use of video cameras for security purposes and essentially waived all rights to privacy when on company property."

"Nothing unusual about that is there Estella?"

"No Sam, nothing unusual at all, until you factor in these specific points. Mr. Chambers residence is also his primary office. Erica Montgomery worked out of his office residence. And that this residence was where all of the sexual contact between Erica and Dick took place."

"Oh my God he taped them having sex!"

"Bingo! And the URL? - it's a paid membership amateur sex video site. Who do you think might be the star of the current best selling hardcore sex tape. That's right "Despicable Housewives starring Icky Rickie." In total there are twenty hours of tape purportedly involving Mr. Chambers and Icky Rickie on the site. Because of the quality of the video you really can't see much other that a man and a woman engaged in sexual congress.

"Needless to say Sam, Charles and Erica's efforts at reconciliation went right out the window. The kids sued Mr. Chambers and the website for invasion of privacy. They are alleging that their conceptions may be on the tapes and are asking for damages and a portion of any profits."

"OHMIGOD!"

"And now we come to tonight's big bombshell. I promised our viewers something new Sam and this is it. Have you ever heard of Livid Adult Movies?"

"Well no Estella, I don't believe I have."

"Livid Productions is the largest adult video provider in the country. They are offering Erica Montgomery one million dollars to legally change her name to Icky Rickie and host an adult reality sex show tentatively titled The Mating Game. According to Livid the show will involve female contestants questioning eligible, meaning fertile, men for the expressed purpose of fathering a child. Livid will put the couple up for a weekend coinciding with the woman's most fertile cycle and film all of the sex scenes between them. If conception occurs, the man gets ten thousand dollars and the woman gets all her pre-natal medical care covered and a college trust fund investment for the child."

"I don't know what to say Estella. This has to end somewhere. How much longer can this go on?"

"Sam, your guess is as good as mine. But I think we can be sure of this. We'll be here again next year."

"I don't doubt it for a moment Estelle, I don't doubt it for a moment."

Then again there something about a calculating female that is just irresistible...

Erica's Endgame

Erica pulled into the driveway and parked beside Charles's car. It was kind of funny, it seemed so right whenever she saw it there. What wasn't so funny was that the car wasn't there nearly often enough. In the years since the divorce she still hadn't gotten used to not being married to Charles.

As she gathered the bags of groceries she wondered if things would have been different if she'd found a way to tell him in her own way.

"Charles, something happened many years ago. It was an accident, it wasn't intentional but it ended up changing our lives. Changes that we can never go back and change. You know how much I wanted children. And I know how much you wanted them to. Now we have four wonderful kids, kids we love more than anything else. Don't you agree with me Charles, our children are more important than our own lives? Yes, I knew you'd agree. You're a good man Charles Montgomery - a good man.

"When we started our family we both agreed that four kids would be enough. Last week I mentioned getting my tubes ties to eliminate the possibility of me getting pregnant and you talked about getting a vasectomy. Well, actually you insisted that you were getting a vasectomy and that was that. You don't need to Charles, you've never needed to. You're sterile. You've always been sterile.

"Yes, I figured you'd want to know. No I didn't go to a clinic. I went to Dick. Dick Chambers is the sperm donor.

"The regular way of course."

She had actually been fairly close to telling him when out of the blue he filed for divorce. "It's not working for me any longer." That was it, that's all he said She had asked Dick to talk to Charles. Charles had beaten Dick to a bloody pulp. Of course she knew now that he knew Dick was the sperm donor - oh well.

By the time she did say something it was too late - much to late. He waved the sperm count papers in her face, the paternity tests, and most damning of all the report that said one man had fathered all four children. When all your time is accounted for and the only time your not with your husband and family is when you with his best friend - well it didn't take a Sherlock Holmes to deduce the truth.

She was just thankful that Dick hadn't pressed charges against Charles after the beating he took from him. Personally Erica would have preferred a physical beating to the emotional one taken by her that resulted after Charles told everyone what she had done to him. The mere memory of the year that followed caused her to shiver. Not that things were a whole lot better overall. The chill within the family was far from thawing.

Erica stood at the front door of her house and opened it. After the divorce, she and Charles had agreed that she should keep the house for the sake of the kids made the most sense. Charles found a small apartment and spent as much time with the kids as he could. Her youngest answered and jumped up into her arms. "Mommy's home."

Erica walked into the dining room where the older children were doing their homework. Her presence, much like her arrival, went generally unacknowledged. The older three children had taken her ex-husband Charles's side and did little to hide their scorn. The public embarrassment of the divorce and its aftermath had been hard on them and they held her wholly and completely responsible.

"Kids, Dick and I are planning a summer vacation and wondered where you'd like to go? We were thinking about Disney World and..." Her words died as she saw the expressions on their faces. "Well nothing is definite yet, we have plenty of time to plan this out."

One by one the older children got up and walked out of the room. The oldest looked at her with a searing, sneering contempt-filled disrespect. "Disney World? I'm not a child anymore, there is no way I'm going to Disney World. O h and I'm spending the weekend at Jeremy's...Erica."

Great, a new weapon brought to bear thought Erica. Now her eldest isn't even calling her Mom. Erica watched as the kids hugged and kissed Charles, and he hugged and kissed them right back - even the oldest one said, "I love you Dad."

"Charles, may I speak with you before you go." Erica motioned toward the master bedroom.

Charles followed his ex-wife into the bedroom. "Charles, I know this has been hard - on everybody. Dick and I were thinking of taking the kids on a week long vacation to Disney World this summer. They seemed less than enthused. I was wondering if you might consider joining us..."

"No."

"That really wasn't much time for serious consideration Charles. Could you at least..."

"Erica, it is all I can do just being civil with you. Somehow, I don't think spending a week with you and the love of your life is in anybody's best interest."

Erica stumbled back and sat clumsily on the bed. "Is it always going to be like this Charles? Can't you at least remember some of the good times we had together?"

"I remember the all of the good times Erica. I just got through hugging and kissing them by the front door. You may have been able to dishonor me without a second thought. Maybe cuckolding me was even a big joke for you. "How far can you push it before the stupid fool figures it out?" Charles spat the words at her.

"It was never like that Charles - never. I loved you then, I love you now." Erica stood up and planted her feet. "I did you a terrible wrong, I know that. I admit it - I AM SORRY CHARLES! But I never once stopped loving you. I wanted a family, I wanted children, from this body - me! I wanted you to be the father - that wasn't possible. I made a choice. I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you. I'm sorry for the pain I've caused our children - yes Charles, our children. But I would do it again if I had to. Being a mother has been the fulfillment I yearned for. Should I have divorced you? Maybe, but I loved you so much and I still do love you, I always will."

Charles looked up at the ceiling and in that instant Erica closed the space between them. She threw her arms around him and hugged him tight and began to cry. Huge wracking sobs and incomprehensible words tumbled out of her. His arms encircled her and he held her close. Damn her that he still loved her.

Erica felt Charles's arms comfort her, she also felt his erection. She knew from friends he wasn't dating. Knowledge she had every intention of using against him. She looked up at her ex-husband with lust-drenched eyes. "Did you fix the plumbing problem Charles?"

"Plumbing problem?" Charles couldn't recall any conversation about the plumbing until Erica grabbed his cock and squeezed.

"Charles, I think your pipes are clogged, I can help you with that." Erica moved quickly as she unzipped Charles's pants. She fished his erect cock out and engulfed it with her mouth. As she sucked her ex-husband she worked his pants down to his ankles.

Charles was lost in a fog of arousal. He didn't last a minute before he exploded into Erica's mouth. He collapsed back onto the bed, his spent cock still hard.

"I want you Charles. I'm going to fuck you now." Erica stood slowly. "I need to use the bathroom first. I'll be right back. "

Erica quickly stripped as she silently cursed. "Why did I have to fuck Dick before coming home?" Okay, she knew why. Their Friday afternoon fuck had been a staple of their relationship going back to the very beginning. But now, if Fridays were the only opportunity to take a shot a Charles, then things simply had to change - Dick would have to accept that.

She was determined now. She would not deny Charles anything - even if he tried to take her ass. She'd put up a show of resistance, but he'd get it in the end...well actually she would. She smiled at her joke. Satisfied the evidence of her earlier dalliance was cleaned up; Erica prepared to give Charles the fuck of his life.

Erica came out of the bathroom. "Alright stud, time for..." The bed was empty. She knew he was already out of the house. And yet she smiled. She picked up the phone and dialed Charles's' apartment.

"I love you Charles, I always have and I always will. I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for the pain I've caused you. I hope that the all too brief moment of pleasure we shared today makes it a little better. I owe you so much and I am ready and willing to do anything to make it up to you...and I do mean anything.

"You wanted me today Charles, I've never seen you harder. It was good too, your cum was so yummy - I want more, I want a lot more. We have so much between us - so much that is good. We can have more Charles, we can have a lot more. You ought to know by now I get what I want. I never give up. I never give up Charles - never. I love you, bye."

Half an hour later Charles replayed the message for the sixth time as he slowly stroked his cock. Damn her! - and he came with a loud groan.

And then there's good old fashioned revenge...merciless, cold revenge.

Remembering Dick

Charles winced. The pain was nearly unbearable yet he held back his finger from activating the morphine pump. He had to be lucid. He had to be clear. He heard the door open and looked up to see his wife of forty-nine years.

Erica brushed the thin gray hairs from her husband's forehead. She forced herself to smile, to be strong; Charles deserved that. She bent down and kissed his cheek. "Charles - sweetheart - I'm here."

"Rickie." Charles smiled and reached for her hand. Grasping it he squeezed it gently. "Thanks for getting all the kids here yesterday. It meant a lot to me. They seem to be taking this okay - it wasn't just an act for their old man?"

"No sweetheart, it wasn't just an act. They love you very much."

"I love them too. They are great kids Erica. They turned out pretty well didn't they?"

"Yes they did, you are a wonderful father Charles."

"You got the be the mom you wanted to be - I was just a dad."

Erica bent forward and kissed him again.

"I was thinking about Dick earlier." Charles sighed. "I was thinking about the accident. I think he would have been proud of the kids too."

Rickie felt her eyes well up with tears. Many many years ago Charles and his best friend Dick had been returning from a long weekend fishing trip when Charles fell asleep behind the wheel. Evidently Dick had unbuckled his seat belt to be more comfortable and was killed instantly. Charles had been devastated.

"Erica, I need to confess something to you. I need you to promise me that you will never tell the kids. Will you do that for me Rickie?"

"Sure Charles, I promise. What is it...you can tell me."

"We were fighting when it happen...the accident. Dick and I were fighting, I didn't fall asleep."

"What were you fighting about?"

"You."

"Me?"

"Dick was angry because," Charles paused and gathered his thoughts. "I had been unfaithful and Dick was angry. He said you deserved better."

"Oh Charles, that was so long ago..."

"There's more. He said you deserved better, I asked him if he meant some one like him. I said to him, since I'm not good enough, why don't I just get out of the way so you could have a real man not some backdoor sleaze. I started speeding I said to Dick you'd be better off without either one of us. That's when he unbuckled his seat belt. Then something happened and we crashed.

Erica stood motionless. This was all too bizarre, she wondered if the morphine was causing Charles to hallucinate. Maybe this was all a weird drug fueled fantasy.

"Dick was angry because you cheated on me and he found out?"

"No he was angry because I drug him into it."

"I don't understand."

"I hired a couple of college girls to come to our room and spend the night. He was pissed about that."

"Hired - you paid for a couple of hookers? I don't believe it."

"Red envelope." Charles winced as he indicated a box on the counter.

Erica opened the envelope and pulled out some Polaroids. She was dumbfounded - Charles and Dick and two young women were photographed in a number of positions and sex acts. "Why?"

"I had to prove to you that you were no more special to him than I was to you"

"What are you...oh my God. Oh my God."

Charles indicated a box on the table beside his bed. "Open it."

Erica opened the box and pulled out a large manila envelope. She undid the flap and pulled the contents out; four nearly identical reports. It was the title on all four reports that captured her attention - Paternity Test. Each report had one of her children's names on it. Erica stomach lurched and she visibly paled. Then she saw the dates. These test were almost thirty years old.

"I'm sterile Erica - I shot blanks, always have."

Erica looked at her husband and slowly nodded.

"Funny thing though, I didn't find out until - well - after all four had been born. Even after I found out it never for a moment kept me from loving them." Charles winced in pain and almost smiled. Erica was too absorbed in her own thoughts to even notice. "Loving you was a different matter. I understood your motivation, you were desperate to have children. Once I got over it I was able to accept your betrayal and love you again."

"Charles. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry. I love you. I...I..." Erica threw herself on her husband and cried. When she was all cried out she slowly straightened herself up and looked at Charles. "Thank you for not destroying our family. Thank you for forgiving me, for loving me."

Erica leaned down and kissed her husband. "I love you Charles Montgomery."

Charles stroked her hair. "I love you too Erica. And I'm going to ask you to hold onto that love - hold on tight. I have a lot of forgiving I'm in need of."

"Yes, of course. Anything Charles."

"Why didn't you do anything to me Charles? It was just as much my fault."

"Just as much? No dear wife, your betrayal was far more consequential. I doubt that we would have had any children, but for your part in all this. The notebook is for you."

Erica pulled the notebook out of the box. Her hands were trembling. She opened the cover and immediately felt better. The inside coverpiece said "To My Loving Wife Erica. Believe me when I say that you were foremost in my mind and always on my thoughts." She smiled at Charles and turned the page.

She gasped. It was an 8X10 photo of her and Charles in their bedroom having sex. Charles was behind her with his hands covering her face. His erect cock deep in her pussy. She tried to recall when Charles took such a photo of the two of them and drew a blank. No big deal, the photo was of such poor quality that she hardly recognized her self. "Charles, you naughty boy you. I don't remember you ever taking a photograph of us having sex."

Charles smiled through his pain. "Turn the page."

Erica did and looked at the second photo. Charles"s cock was deep in her ass. Erica began to flip quickly through the notebook before dropping it and staggering backwards.

"That's right Rickie. I went a little crazy. By the time I worked my anger out -Dick was dead and I had fucked hundreds of women - some in our bed. If you study the photos you might be able to identify some of the women."

"But you know what the kicker is Rickie. I eventually stopped. I realized that I loved you and wanted to stay married to you. I haven't been with another woman in almost fifteen years." Charles coughed and winced in pain. He noted that Erica made no effort to comfort him.

"I loved you Charles. I never denied you anything. How could you do this? Murder Dick, and be with all these...sluts."

"Oh, the pot calls the kettle black." Charles coughed and the stab of pain was so intense he push to button on the morphine dispenser. The relief was nearly instantaneous. "You call them sluts, I call them salves. They helped heal a deep wound. Sorry Rickie, but you had to know. I'm getting tired...so tired."

Erica stood and walked slowly out of the hospice room. Her mind was such a jumble she didn't even notice the crosswalk light had turned red.

Charles heard the screech of tires. It reminded him of something long ago, but he couldn't quite remember what. What was that anyway? Something about his old friend. He inhaled weakly and slowly released his last breath.

Erica lay on the ground - mortally injured - but for some strange reason she wasn't overly concerned. Someone was calling her name. She looked around. "Dick?" God he looked good. Erica smiled; she honestly had never felt better, and slowly moved toward her lover of many years past.

"Charles?" Erica blinked in wonder. Charles stood beside Dick, each with an arm over the others shoulder. She couldn't help notice they were both naked and sporting huge erections. "All right you two what's going on here?"

Charles and Dick turned toward one another and slapped a hearty high five. As they walked toward her their hard-ons bobbed up and down, Erica was beside herself with desire. Then they were embracing her, inside her, and filling her - again and again and again. She was beyond ecstatic.

"You like this Erica. You like us fucking you like this?"

Erica moaned as her orgasm hit. "Oh God, it's to die for."

And she did.
