Day Care Center

Two years ago I thought my life was near perfect. At that time Patty, my wife of five years, was six months pregnant and we were both very excited about the coming event. I had a good job with a large electronics firm in San Jose and Patty was enjoying her job at a day care center. On top of that we were shopping for our first house. Then, without warning our happy life was turned upside down.

First the company I worked for was bought by a large corporation which immediately reorganized our company which really means they fired the old management staff. So here I was out of work and my wife pregnant.

Luckily I had managed to save quite a bit of money, for the purchase of our house, and the severance package I was given was quite generous. That meant we would be all right financially until I could find a new job, but we would have to put off the purchase of a house indefinitely.

While Patty and I were dealing with these problems the next test of our ability to cope was thrown at us. While I was out on job interviews I got a call from Patty. As soon as I answered I could tell something was wrong. I could hear it in her voice when she asked, "Can you come get me right now?"

I asked her what the problem was and she said, "Something is terribly wrong with me. I just went to the bathroom I found blood in my panties."

I immediately drove over to the day care center where Patty worked and took her to the emergency room. Two hours later the doctor told me that they had to take the baby and it was still born. It was left up to me to tell the woman I loved that she lost her baby. That was the hardest thing I have ever done.

They kept Patty at the hospital overnight as a precaution and I brought her home the next morning. We were very awkward together. Neither of us seemed to know what to say. I felt terrible, not only because of our loss but also because I knew how much Patty wanted to have a baby. I needed to talk to her about it but I didn't know how.

Over the next several weeks Patty got stronger and was able to resume her normal activities and she returned to work but there was something between us. We didn't talk about our loss, but it was there with us almost like a living entity. I so much wanted to hold and love Patty but she seemed too fragile and I guessed she needed more time before she would be ready to be intimate. I wanted to talk to her about it and let her know I was there for her whenever she needed me but I never felt it was the right time for that conversation.

Six months after we lost the baby Patty made an unexpected announcement to me. She said, "I want to get out of here."

I said, "You want to go away for the weekend?"

She said "No. I want to leave San Jose. This doesn't feel like home to me any more."

"Where would we go?"

"Anywhere. Just away from here."

I thought that she might be right. We might both be happier starting over somewhere else. I began looking in trade magazines for job opportunities in other cities. After several days of searching I saw an ad the caught my attention. It was an ad for the sale of an electronics store in the Atlanta area.

The idea of running my own business appealed to me so I sat down with Patty and we talked it over. Patty said she thought it might be a good move for both of us. So, three days later I was on a plane to Atlanta. I spent four days negotiating with the owner and we agreed on a price for his store and the current inventory. Then I went to a bank and applied for a small business loan. A week later the bank notified me that my loan was approved and a month later Patty and I moved to Atlanta.

The cost of housing in Atlanta was so much lower than in San Jose that we were able to buy a house in a very nice neighborhood north of Atlanta. The day we moved in several of the neighbors stopped by to welcome us. I could see this had a very positive effect on Patty. One of the people we met that day was George. George was a tall, distinguished man with silver streaks in his otherwise dark hair. He looked to be in his mid fifties. As it turned out George was actually almost sixty. George had such a warm and friendly personality that you couldn't help but like him. As he walked in the open front door of our house he said, "Hello, I'm George Lewis and I guess that you are Willard and Patty Bradley."

I said, "Yes we are and it's nice to meet you," as we shook hands. Then I added, "But my friends call me Will."

We had a nice friendly conversation during which I asked George what he did for a living and he said, " I retired from a large technology company five years ago. Now I work at the day care center just up the street from here.

I asked George, "How long have you been working at the day care center?"

"Just the past three years. My wife died four years ago. After that I couldn't spend all my time alone in the house so I took the job at the day care center. Working around those young kids makes me feel younger."

I said, "Patty was working at a day care center in San Jose before moved here."

George looked at Patty and asked, "Would you be interested and going back to work? I know we are looking for a couple more people for our staff."

Patty said, "I'd love to go back to work after I get this house settled."

George told Patty where the center was and as it turns out it was only about a half mile from our house. After that George said, "I can see that you two have lots of work to do so I'll get out of your way." As he went out the door he said, "Hope to see a lot more of the two of you."

While Patty stayed home and worked at finishing the unpacking I went down to my store to begin preparations for the change of ownership. The deal I worked out with the current owner was that on the upcoming weekend he would close the store and we would do a complete inventory. Then on Monday we would sit down with the lawyers and finalize the purchase and I would reopen the store on Tuesday. Also negotiated in the deal was my right to keep the store's name North Atlanta Electronics. I felt it would help me getting started if customers didn't know the store had changed ownership.

During the inventory I found a large number of surveillance cameras on shelves in the warehouse. I asked Bob, the current owner, about them and he said, "We bought those about a year ago. I had an idea for selling home security systems but as it turned out we didn't really know enough about designing home security systems to sell any."

I said, " Maybe I can do something with all those cameras. In my former job I did a lot of design work and I have a pretty good understanding of security systems."

On Monday the store became mine and on Tuesday I opened the doors on my own business for the first time. At the end of my first week I could see that the store would do a good enough business to make a good living for Patty and me and if I could add some additional services such as home security systems I could be extremely successful.

I'd had the store opened about two weeks when Patty told me that she had applied for and was given a job at the day care center where George worked. I could see that this made her happy which made me happy. I was getting more hopeful about our future all of the time. I felt that the time might be right to try and start adding romance or should I say sex, back into our marriage.

The next day I called Patty from work with the idea of suggesting we go out for a romantic dinner while hoping to make love to her afterward. When I asked her about going out for a nice dinner, Patty hesitated before saying, "No, I.. I can't tonight. I have to go to the day care center for an orientation meeting for new employees."

I wasn't sure but the feeling I got was that Patty still wasn't ready and maybe never would be ready to resume a normal sex life. I love Patty but I was becoming a little frustrated. When I came out of my office Jill, a very attractive red head that worked as a cashier looked at me and smiled and for the first time since I met Patty I thought about having sex with another woman.

To avoid the temptation I buried myself in my work. One of the things I did to keep myself busy was to design a home security system for my own house. I brought three of the cameras home from the store and mounted one over the front door, one over the garage door and one over the back door. I manage to install the cameras in such a way that no one would even know they were there. I ran the cables from the cameras to a workshop I had set up in my basement and connected them to a computer so that I could remotely control the cameras. Using the computer I could select a camera view and display it on my monitor with the ability to zoom and focus or I could have all three views displayed at the same time. I could also digitally record the camera views. I equipped the cameras with motion detectors so that they would only turn on if something moved within fifty feet of any of the cameras. At that distance anyone coming onto my property would activate the nearest camera. The video system was also tied into an alarm system, which would detect anyone trying to break into the house and would automatically dial 911 and notify the police. The last thing I did was to set up dial in capabilities so that I could check the security form anywhere that I had access to a computer and a telephone line. I must say I was really pleased with the way it turned out.

One night as Patty and I were eating dinner she suggested that we have a house warming party so that we could have all of our neighbors over. I told Patty I thought that would be a good idea so Patty scheduled the party for a Saturday night two weeks away. When she was done the guest list included everyone in the neighborhood, all the employees in my store and all the people Patty worked with at the day care center.

On the day of the party I set up a monitor in my study, which is just inside the front door, and connected it to my computer so that the images from my cameras were displayed on the monitor. I did that so our guests would see it and hopefully get interested in having something like that for their own houses.

As it turned out the party was great. I could see that Patty was having a great time entertaining and I did spend a lot of time demonstrating my security system to our guests. At one point I was down in my workshop with three people explaining how the system worked. One of the three people was Jill, the cashier I mentioned earlier. After a while I found myself alone with Jill. She was leaning over my computer looking at the images on the monitor as I flipped from one camera to another. While she was looking at the monitor, I was peeking down her blouse at the top of her lovely breasts. I was so aroused by this view that I was having trouble breathing normally. I was so mesmerized that I didn't react quickly enough when Jill looked up and she caught me staring down he blouse. I was about to stammer an apology when Jill just smiled at me and asked "Did you like the view?"

I didn't dare say anything because I was afraid of how it would come out. Jill made no attempt to move which left the view of her breasts available to me but I had to fight not to stare. Finally Jill straightened up and came around to stand next to me. She put her arms around me and pulled me close and kissed me on the cheek and said, "If you are interested in having some fun together just let me know," she gave me another kiss only this time she brushed her lips over mine, "You know. No strings, just fun." She turned and as she walked out of the room she said, "Call me."

I was in shock. I was also in possession of the biggest erection I'd had in a long time. I couldn't go back to the party for another five minutes because my erection would have been visible. During that time I thought about what Jill had said and wondered what I should do about it.

When I did go back up stairs George was standing at the top of the stairs with someone I hadn't met yet. George introduced him as Brian Cochran. Brian was the owner of the day care center where Patty and George worked. Brian said "George has been telling me about your home security system, would you mind showing it to me?" So I spent the next half hour with Brian and George.

When we rejoined the rest of the party I was relieved to see that Jill had left. I was concerned how Jill might act around Patty. The rest of the evening was spent in just idle conversation and the party broke up around midnight. Patty and I stayed up till two cleaning and when we went to bed we quickly fell asleep.

During all this time I was becoming more frustrated with the situation with Patty. I needed intimacy and it didn't look as thought that was going to happen any time soon. I was starting to have fantasies about Jill. I even masturbated while thinking about having sex with her. Then it happened. It was the week after the party. I was putting some new stock on the shelves in the warehouse when the store was closing. I thought everyone had gone home but suddenly Jill was standing next to me asking if there was anything she could do to help me.

She had a funny look on her face when she said, "I can help you put the rest of the new stock away or we can fuck."

I had no resistance left. I just took her in my arms and kissed her. We had our tongues in each others mouths and our hands were all over each other. My need was greater than I expected so I didn't want to waste much time on foreplay. I told Jill I wanted to see her tits and she quickly removed her blouse and bra. Jill had a very nice pair of breasts. They were large and firm and felt great in my hands as I sucked on their nipples. After spending a few minutes on her nipples I said, "Now I want to see if you are a natural red head."

Jill smiled and began to take her pants off. When she was stripped to her panties Jill asked, "What do you think? Red, or maybe blonde, or brunette? What color hair am I hiding from view."

By then I was too hot to want to play any games. "I don't know. Just let me see it."

"If I show it to you will you kiss it?"

"If you show it to me I'll not only kiss it I will suck on it till you have an orgasm."

Jill pulled off her panties revealing a thick red bush of hair above a beautifully rounded vulva. I picked Jill up and carried her over to a workbench. I sat Jill on top of the bench and I bent down and put my head between her legs and began to kiss, lick and suck on her pussy. As I had promised I brought her to orgasm with me mouth.

When she recovered from her orgasm Jill got off the bench and knelt on the floor in front of me and opened my pants and pulled them down. Then she took my erect cock in her hand and guided the head to her mouth. Jill began by sliding my cock back and forth across her lips then she sucked the tip into her mouth and started working on it with her tongue. Soon Jill was plunging her mouth down over my cock and brought me to the brink of climax. I stopped her before I came and pulled her to her feet. I turned Jill around and had her lean forward against the bench. When she did I pushed my cock inside her from behind. The feeling was fantastic. I hadn't had my cock inside a pussy in so long it felt so good I almost wanted to cry. As I pushed forward into Jill she pushed back against me, which added to my pleasure but also shortened my tenure. I was soon spewing my hot semen inside Jill.

When I had finished I held on to Jill and leaned on her back. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes until my softening cock dropped out of Jill's dripping pussy. As Jill moved away from me I could see my semen running down the inside of her thigh. I couldn't believe how sexy that looked to me. As Jill put her panties on she got some of the semen on her fingers, which she put in her mouth. Then she looked and me and said "You taste pretty good. Next time you'll have to come in my mouth. Jill finished dressing in silence then she said "Goodnight" and left.

As soon as Jill left and I had time to reflect on what had just happened I felt a terrible guilt. I should never have allowed that to happen. I couldn't find any way to forgive myself but I promised myself that it would never happen again. And it didn't.... until three nights later.

Over the next couple of months life fell into a routine. Patty was enjoying her new job. She worked from eight in the morning until five in the evening on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. On Wednesdays she had to stay late to wait for parents who were running late picking up their kids. The day care staff took turns staying late. Each night two people would stay late and Patty and George stayed late on Wednesdays. On those nights Patty stayed late she would usually get home around 6:30 although she sometimes didn't get home till eight o'clock. As for me, my store was doing a good business and I was enjoying the work. On Wednesdays I worked late in the warehouse and Jill usually stayed to help take care of anything that happened to come up.

It was at this time that I got a call from Patty's boss Brian Cochran. Brian called me at the store and said that he wanted to discuss some business with me. Then he made a strange request. He asked me not to mention anything about this to Patty or anyone else at the center. I was puzzled but I agreed to meet with him that evening after work. Brian suggested I come to his house and gave me directions.

That night after I closed the store I drove to the address that Brian had given me. I was surprised to find that he lived in a very exclusive neighborhood. Houses there started at a half million dollars and went up. I wouldn't have thought that running a day care center would generate the kind of money needed to live in such an upscale neighborhood. The house was a large brick structure that overlooked the Chattahoochee River. I pulled my car into the circular drive and stopped in front of the house. As I got out of my car Brian appeared at the front door. He shook my hand and invited me in then led me through the house to his sunroom where he offered me a drink and a place to sit.

Once I was settled into a comfortable rattan chair with a cold beer Brian began to explain why he wanted to see me. "Thanks for coming Will. Let me start by explaining something about the day care business. It's not a high margin business and people don't get rich running day care centers."

When Brian said that, I couldn't help but look around me at the obvious wealth on display in Brian's house. Brian didn't miss the look. He said, "I didn't get any of this by running a day care center. I am president of a local insurance company and realized a long time ago the value of providing day care services to my employees. About ten years ago I started a day care center in my office building for the company employees. I hired trained and competent people to run the center and it worked great. It boosted the moral of the employees that were able to use the center and the center paid for itself. As I expanded my personal businesses to include a large real estate office near the subdivision you now live in I wanted to be able to provide day care services to my agents and administrative staff. I tried to negotiate a deal with a local day care center but they wouldn't make a reasonable offer so I bought him out. I didn't feel that I could turn away the current customers so I kept them and added more staff to handle the children of my employees. This worked great. With the revenue generated by the original customers I have been able to give my employees inexpensive day care services and still make a small profit."

I said "So you basically just run the day care center to provide that service to your employees, not as a for profit enterprise?"

"That's correct. Now the day care center in the office building at my insurance company gives me no worries and that's because the parents are able to visit their children on breaks and can also check on them via an intranet link on the company's computer network. It's the center that your wife works at that makes me nervous. It's not that I don't trust the employees but you just can never be completely sure of anything, you know what I mean? Over that last several years there have been so many stories in the news about abuse at day centers, sexual and otherwise, that I feel the need to be extremely careful. If some one makes an accusation it doesn't have to be true to ruin your reputation. And if something happened and a parent was to sue me they would not only destroy the day care center but also my real estate business. Can you see where I am going with this?"
