Consequences Pt. 23

But she couldn't rationalize it away anymore, she was cheating on Mike. With his brother! But she WOULD tell him. She just didn't want to do it over the phone. And wouldn't all of this get Mike hot? Yes, he'd be upset at first. But he'd be really turned on too.

Mike wanted her to hook up with barista boy. But wasn't this better? It meant something. She was helping Joe. Mike wanted her to take care of him. Okay, he hadn't meant this way. But she WAS taking care of Joe. Wouldn't Mike be grateful after he got used to the idea?

It was just mercy sex. But was it really? It'd started that way. But Joe had just played with her, and she'd liked it. He'd make her cum, and it was a good orgasm too. And she'd kissed him. She couldn't really say it was mercy sex anymore.

Mike wanted to keep playing the game. Didn't this qualify? Maybe this proved something. Maybe she did need the variety of other men. Maybe they should keep playing.

Jen had a restless sleep, all these issues still unresolved in her head. She left for work early, not wanting the awkwardness of seeing Joe.

"You look like shit," Allie said as she bopped into Jen's office.

"I didn't get much sleep," Jen said with a grimace.

"Everything okay?" Allie asked.

Jen wished she could spill her guts to Allie, it would be so good to talk this out with someone. But their friendship was on an upswing again and she didn't want to risk that. "Everything's fine," she lied.

Occupied with her own life, Allie didn't notice Jen's lie. She lowered her voice and said "We've decided to elope. Right after the final Memphis pitch. You and Mike will come?"

"Of course we will!" Jen said excitedly.

"I'm thinking about resigning after," Allie said hesitantly. "Darren's making a lot of money with Sapphire -."

"I'm thinking the same thing," Jen whispered back.

"Seriously?" Allie said surprised, forgetting for a moment her own situation. "You're such a go-getter, I always figured you for managing partner someday."

"I need a break," Jen said. "You know we can't both leave, at least not right away. If we win Memphis we have to get it going, we owe everyone that."

"I know," Allie said with a grimace. "But after a few months?"

Jen thought about it. "Yeah, that should work," she said.

Later that morning Jen's iPhone rang. It was Drums. "Hi Frankie, how are you?" she said hesitantly, not knowing what to expect.

"Everything's great, we're in LA on our tour," Drums said enthusiastically. He laughed. "Artie's calling it our revival tour. Can you believe it?"

Jen laughed back. "So everything's good?" she asked, happy everything seemed to be going good for him.

"Everything's great!" Drums gushed. "This morning I'm going to a studio with Artie to cut a single. With the Ramones hot again, Artie thinks there's a good chance it'll get serious radio time."

"Oh god Frankie that's so good!" Jen gushed.

"But listen, can you do me a favor? Right now the world knows me as one of the Ramones. I could really use some marketing to beef up my image as a solo performer too. Can you help?"

"Um, yeah, I can help you," Jen said hesitantly. She quickly added "I have to ask Mike, okay?"

"Sure, definitely," Drums said without any hesitation. "After LA we shoot over to Chicago, then next week we're back in New York. Maybe we can meet then."

After lunch Jen called Mike. "Hi baby," she said.

"Hi honey," Mike said. "How's Joe?"

"Um, good," she said awkwardly.

"Thanks for helping with Joe's treatment," Mike gushed. "Mom told me you're helping when Willow's busy. Thanks for doing that. It makes me feel better you're there with him."

"Um, of course baby," Jen said. "He's an easy patient." Wanting to change the subject, she asked "How's it going over there?"

"We're almost done fixing the Ring," Mike proudly announced. "We made major progress last night."

"Really?!" Jen said excitedly. "Can you come home?!"

"I just need to check a few things," Mike said. "But this weekend, I think so."

"Oh that's so good!" Jen gushed. "I miss you so much Mike!"

"I miss you too honey," Mike said. He grinned. "So, have you seen barista boy lately?"

"God you have a one track mind," Jen said with a laugh.

Mike laughed back. "Have you thought about it? For us to keep playing the game?"

"Actually I have," Jen said. In a soft voice she said "Maybe I'd like to do that."

"Really?" Mike said, surprise and delight in his voice. He excitedly asked "Do you have someone in mind?"

Jen hesitated. She was tempted to tell Mike - she desperately wanted to tell him - but she didn't want to do it on the phone. "Let's wait until you get home, okay?"

"Okay..." Mike said hesitantly. He knew Jen better than anyone. In fact, they both knew each other so well it was like they could read the other's mind. "Jen, you already have someone, don't you?"

"Mike... let's wait until you get home," she said.

Mike heard the guilt and anxiety in his wife's voice. "Baby, it's okay with me if you've already hooked up with someone. It wouldn't be cheating on me. I WANT you to hook up with him. So don't feel bad, okay?"

It was like Mike had just lifted a huge load off her shoulders! He'd said exactly the right thing, and it was like sunshine breaking through the clouds and beaming onto her!

She started to cry. "I love you Mike," she said through tears. "I'm a terrible person. You're too good for me."

"No you're not baby," Mike assured her. "You're my goddess remember? It doesn't matter what you do, nothing will ever change that."

"Okay," Jen said in a small voice, smiling and beaming into the phone even as the tears flowed down her cheeks.

"So you'll tell me when I get home?" he asked excitedly.

"I'll tell you everything," Jen promised.

Jen heard voices in the background. Then Mike said "I've got to go honey, we're about to run some tests."

"Okay," she said wiping the tears away with her hand. Then she remembered her call with Drums. "Oh um honey? Frankie called. He's doing an album. He asked if I could do some marketing for him."

"Oh..." Mike said.

Jen heard a lot of worry and anxiety in that one word. "I'm not thinking about getting back together with him," she assured him. "He called ME baby. It would just be a favor."

"Okay," Mike said. "Then I guess it's okay."

"Are you sure? I won't if you don't want me to."

Mike didn't want Jen to think he was a jealous wimp. "Yeah definitely, it would be good to help him," he said forcing the anxiety from his voice.

Jen nodded into the phone. She said "Baby, don't worry about Frankie, okay?"

As Jen was about to leave for work she got a call from Willow. "We're meeting with Dr. Calgary to go over Joe's latest tests," the gypsy woman said. "Can you meet us?"

When Jen arrived at Dr. Calgary's office Willow and mom and dad were already there. Jen could tell it was bad news from the look on the doctor's face.

"Joe's not getting better," Dr. Calgary said. "He hasn't responded to the holistic treatments."

Jen started crying. So did mom and Willow. "How much time does he have?" dad asked, visibly trying to hold back tears.

"Not long," Dr. Calgary said looking glum. "A few weeks. Tomorrow I want to start a series of chemo treatments."

"Oh no!" mom cried, new tears falling down her cheeks. She remembered how in the past chemo had ravaged Joe's body.

"It's Joe's only chance," Dr. Calgary said, although he looked just as disturbed as mom.

As the group broke up Willow pulled Jen aside. "Thank you for taking such good care of Joe."

Jen eyed the old gypsy woman. She suspected Joe had told her everything. Jen shrugged. Why did it matter? "I didn't help any," she lamented.

"You don't know that," Willow said.

"You think Joe still has a chance?" Jen asked skeptically.

"I've told you, a rejoicing spirit can often heal a failing body," Willow said. She affectionately brushed her hand across Jen's cheek. "You've been very good to him. Thank you."

Jen blushed. Joe had definitely told her!

Suddenly Willow looked ill. "Are you alright?" Jen asked worriedly.

"I'll be fine," Willow said with a weak smile.

Jen helped Willow sit down. Willow took Jen's hand. She studied it as she did before, like a palm reading. "You'll be fine too, eventually," the old gypsy woman told Jen. Willow smiled but there was sadness in her eyes.

Jen sensed the sadness was for her, not Joe. "What's going to happen to me Willow?" she asked worriedly.

"Sweet Jennifer," Willow said with a kind smile, again brushing her hand across Jen's face. "You'll be happy again, take comfort in that."

"What do you mean Willow?" Jen said urgently. "I'm happy now."

Willow smiled at Jen again, but the smile was filled with sadness. "Remember Jennifer, follow your heart," she said enigmatically. "Always follow your heart."

Jen went home, distracted by Joe's condition and Willow's prophesy. As she entered the loft apartment she saw Joe was packing. "Where are you going?" she asked.

"I don't want to overstay my welcome," Joe said. "Mike's coming home soon, right?"

"This weekend," Jen said. "But you don't have to go Joe, we have lots of room." When Joe looked skeptically at her, she said "It'll be fine Joe, Mike will understand, he'll be okay with what we did."

"I check into the hospital tomorrow," he said giving her a shrug. This was the real reason he was moving out. "Dr. Calgary's going to use pretty aggressive chemo."

"Oh," she said, realizing what he was saying. The chemo was going to be so "aggressive" he'd have to stay in the hospital instead of going home. Her heart ached at what he was facing. Painful chemo. And then, most likely, death. She felt like crying.

"Don't be sad," he said. He smiled encouragingly at Jen. "Come on, you're taking me to dinner. How about it?"

Jen forced a smile. "Sounds like fun. Maybe we can see the Guardians of the Galaxy movie after." She wasn't really interested in the movie but she knew Joe (like Mike) would be into it.

"Cool!" Joe said enthusiastically. "I'll grab a shower and we can go." He disappeared into his room and Jen heard the shower come on.

Jen considered changing. She was still in her work clothes, a dress and high heels. But she didn't feel like it. She didn't feel like anything. All she could think about was the terrible future facing Joe. Devastating chemotherapy that would ravage his body. Most likely, he'd be bed ridden for the rest of his life. The chemo would do that to him. If the cancer didn't kill him, the chemo would. It would ruin his body.

His wonderful body.

Jen heard the shower turn off. She heard Joe moving in his bedroom.

She found herself walking towards his bedroom. She found herself opening his door. She found herself stepping into his room.

"Jen?" Joe said looking at her. He had a towel around his waist.

"I don't really want to see the Guardians movie," she said softly, walking towards him.

"Oh, do you want to do something else?"

"Yeah," Jen breathed. She hooked her finger in the towel and pulled. The towel fell to the floor. "I want to do something else."

She took a step closer, moving her hand down and cupping his balls. She could feel his penis against her wrist, rapidly getting hard. "I want you to make love to me Joe," she said looking into his eyes.

Their heads moved towards each other and they kissed. Jen pressed her tongue into his mouth. Their tongues danced.

"Unzip me Joe," Jen panted as they continued to make out. Joe's hands went to her back. He was clumsy about it, but he managed to unzip her dress. "Pull it down," Jen said. He did, pulling the dress off her shoulders and down her arms, and the dress fell to the floor.

Joe took a step back to look at Jen. She wore a lacy pink bra and matching panties, nude thigh high stockings and black ankle strap high heels. "God Jen..." Joe gushed as he admired her tight, sexy body.

Jen moved back to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. They kissed again, Joe's hands all over her body. His cock was hard as granite and pressing against her tummy.

They moved to the bed. Jen moved down his body and took his cock into her mouth. Joe groaned as her soft sexy mouth enveloped his shaft.

Jen wanted to give Joe a little head, but didn't want to risk him cumming in her mouth. She moved back up his body and melted into his arms, kissing again. They explored each other. Jen let Joe do whatever he wanted, touch her anywhere he wanted.

She kissed up his neck. Then she breathed into his ear "Take off my panties Joe."

Joe pulled Jen's thong panties down her long, shapely legs. Then he kissed up her slim sexy legs, moving from her ankles to her knees and then up her inner thighs. He'd always admired her gorgeous legs, he couldn't believe he was actually doing this!

He kissed up to her pussy. For a moment he stared at her lustfully. She was completely bare, no hair anywhere, her skin so soft and smooth, tanned, and completely unblemished. She looked like a Playboy centerfold!

He moved closer to her pussy. "You don't have to Joe," Jen said.

"I want to," he said, and he tentatively licked up and down between her slim tight pussy lips.

Jen closed her eyes and allowed Joe to part her legs. She loved getting eaten out! Most of her lovers never did this. They were all well-endowed men who thought their big cocks were all a girl needed. She wasn't surprised Joe was doing this, she knew he'd be a considerate lover.

"I want to make you cum," Joe said licking up and down her slit.

"Okay," Jen said her breathing getting heavy. "Can you..." she said as she reached down and adjusted his head. "Yeah, right there..." she moaned as he was now flicking his tongue over her clit.

Joe wasn't too good - nothing like Mike! But she felt an orgasm approaching anyway. Her brother-in-law was eating her out! There was no way she wasn't cumming!

"Yeah Joe, yeah, don't stop..." she moaned. Then she came, crying "Ugh godddddd!"

"You're so sexy when you cum!" Joe gushed looking up at her.

Panting, Jen smiled at him. But inside she felt unfulfilled. Joe had stopped licking her as her orgasm hit so she got more frustration than pleasure, it was like a ruined orgasm! "That was so good!" she lied. She didn't blame him of course, he was clearly inexperienced, he didn't know.

"Come here cowboy," she said smiling at him. Joe moved up her body and they kissed again. His cock pressed against her tummy, he felt so big and hard!

Jen snaked her hand between them and gripped his shaft. "Are you ready?" she asked beaming into his eyes.

"Yeah," Joe moaned his eyes rolling up into his head at the touch of Jen's small soft hand.

Jen reached over into the nightstand for a condom. "You have to wear this baby," she said.

"I do?" Joe said looking disappointed. "You know, I ah -."

Jen knew he was probably infertile from past chemo treatments. But she couldn't take a chance, her cycles were like clockwork and she was definitely ovulating, her most fertile time of the month. "I can't risk it honey," she said gently. "What's wrong? It'll still feel good."

Joe blushed, clearly embarrassed. "The last time I had sex... it was a while ago... I couldn't stay hard when I wore a condom."

Jen smiled understandingly and tenderly stroked his cheek. Then her smile turned sultry and teasing. "Hmmm, that sounds like a challenge. I guess I'll have to work harder to keep you excited."

She pushed him onto his back. She ripped open the foil package with her teeth and took out the condom. "This is my trick," she said smiling teasingly at him. She pulled her long hair to one side. Then she put the condom in her mouth. She adjusted it with her tongue, and then she lowered her head onto Joe's crotch. She took him into her mouth, and as she did she rolled the condom onto his shaft. She got it down a couple inches. That was as far as she could get using her mouth, he was too thick for more!

She used her hands to finish rolling the sheath down his thick shaft. She'd correctly picked an XL condom, anything smaller would've ripped. Smiling at him, she asked "What do you think?"

"Pretty impressive," Joe said smiling back.

"You haven't seen anything yet cowboy, I've got a lot more tricks up my sleeve," she said grinning at him and running her nails up his chest.

She straddled his hips and took his cock in her hand. She rubbed his cock head back and forth between her pussy lips, using her wetness to lubricate him. "Okay?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said excitedly, his heart pounding.

She held his shaft with her hand as she lowered herself onto him. They both moaned as his cock penetrated her.

"God..." Joe groaned.

"Fuck you're so thick," Jen said grimacing.

"Are you okay?" Joe said concerned.

"Yeah, we'll just go slow," Jen assured him. "It's just been a couple weeks for me." Mike would be happy, clearly her pussy had tightened back up after being with Frankie.

"It's been a few years for me!" Joe joked.

Jen smiled at him. Then she pushed down, slowly taking him into her. She clenched her teeth as she impaled herself on his thick shaft. It didn't take too long because he wasn't that long, but by the time he was finally fully in there was a little sweat across her brow.

She ran her hands over his muscular chest. "Do you want to be on top?" she asked.

"Yeah," Joe said. They held each other as he rolled Jen onto her back.

Joe began moving back and forth, slowly at first as if worried about Jen. Sensing this Jen said "You can go faster, I'm okay, I like it hard."

"Okay," Joe said breathing hard. He began moving faster, harder. Jen ran her fingertips over Joe's body as he fucked her, finding his erogenous zones, learning where he liked touched, working to keep him hard. She used her pussy muscles to massage his cock as he moved in and out. She wanted him to cum. It was okay if he came fast, she just wanted him to cum, this was all about him, she didn't want him to be humiliated and frustrated by going soft.

"Oh god I'm cumming," Joe groaned. He was really pounding her now!

"Cum Joe!" Jen urged him. "Cum for me!" Wanting to make it really good for him, she reached behind to his ass and brushed her fingertips across his sensitive asshole.

It was like a bolt of electricity to Joe's pleasure center! He cried out as his body exploded in orgasm, pleasure ripping through his body. Jen milked Joe's cock with her pussy muscles as he rammed her over and over again, extending his orgasm and pleasure.

Finally Joe collapsed on Jen, gasping. Jen held him tight, wrapping her legs around him and tenderly stroking his hair and back.

"God that was so good!" Joe gushed. "Thank you!"

Jen smiled at him. She said gently, "Um, can you pull out?"

"Oh I'm sorry!" Joe said.

"That's okay baby," Jen said smiling warmly at him. She reached down to hold the condom. "Go ahead honey."

As Joe pulled out Jen held the condom so it wouldn't fall off. There was a lot of sperm in the reservoir. Jen laid Joe on his back and carefully peeled the condom off him. She bundled it in tissues and threw it away.

"Are you sensitive after you cum?" she asked lightly cupping his half heart penis.

"Not too much," Joe said.

"Good," she said smiling at him. She lowered her head and took him into her mouth, licking the remaining cum from his shaft and then his balls.

After cleaning him she snuggled into his arms. "You didn't cum, did you?" he asked. "Sorry for cumming so fast."

"Who says we're done mister?" Jen teased.

Joe grinned. Then his smile disappeared and he looked worried. "I'm not sure I can go again," he said uncertain, clearly thinking about the meds and how they sometimes made him impotent.

"Hmmm, another challenge!" Jen teased. Then she gently said "We'll see how it goes, okay honey? Let's just talk now."
