What Happens in Vegas...

3 ⭐ ... That's all that I can do . Both of them were Cheaters, nothing more, nothing less. She should have already been out of her last relationship before heading for Vegas. He shouldn't have went to meet her, or split with Terri before he caught his flight. No romance here ... Just lust as was mentioned several times. A sad tale that ended with a unplanned child.

Great characters, good story. 5/5

Excellent this is a story were the sex complements the plot were the characters a fully fleshed emorionally. this one for aspiting writers use as a blue print

Kinda hoped the story ended by both of them being hit by a bus.

I love your stories, they're amazing, but there's a special place in hell for people that go through that much to fuck around on their spouses, or just cheat in general.

You never fail to turn a seemingly sad tale into a happily ever after. This story (like everything else you wrote) has just the right amount of everything. I mean that. I sincerely hope & pray to see more of your work(s). Please, please, please write again. You have one fan here who will eagerly be awaiting your next story...

Your female characters tend to have a hole in their head.

All of them make ridiculously stupid decisions.

I wouldn't even have called this a romance. There was nothing but sex. Ok im sorry, he took care of her for a couple days when she had strep. But she also told him she felt sick and her whole body hurt and he fucked her? That is not believable behavior to me. Yeah they made each other tingle but there was still nothing but sex. Every time they needed to talk they kept putting it off. There is no romance or relationships without communication. This is almost entirely a stroke story with a bit of plot to glue it together.

Definitely like this story although I feel that "Impersonnating Brianne" is better. What truly amazes me are the negative posts. This is Literotica people not necessarily the real world. Enjoy it for what was written. To the people who critized the "taking of the Polariod" at the airport, it's called foreshadowing. It is a technique to tell you that they will end up together. It may have been a little late in the story but it clearly signalled the outcome. As far as the ending, I think it could have been slightly better developed but I can see her thinking that her tryst has run its course and wanting to distance herself from the memory. If nothing else than to insulate herself from continually being hurt. And keeping the child a secret makes sense since she didn't think he would breakup with his wife and she didn't want to be the cause. For them to go their separate ways, breakup with their partners and then reconverge makes perfect sense. At least this way each party is making an independent decision unencumbered by external pressures. Enjoyed your story. Sorry you've stopped writing.

I am sure the person who came up with the phrase "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" was an adulterer. Why do people think that a place like Vegas or anywhere for that matter absolves you of your commitment to your partner or spouse. They are nothing more than a couple of cheater, this is not some sweet innocent romance. The worst part is her letting herself get pregnant what a stupid slut. I gave it a "2".

Goddammit, I cried reading. The story develops beautifully: not too hurried, full of realistic confusion, agitation and fears, lending to a more urgent atmosphere in having the two individuals have themselves lost in the moment. Beautiful.

Great story with an amazing cast of characters! A sizzling must read. Loved the ending, thank you for writing such an amazing story.

What was the point of the strange taking their picture at the airport? What was the point of her gettin pregnant? Why did she ignore him for a year? What was the point of her hiding the child from him? Why wasn't he angry at all about this? A previous poster said they handled it in an adult way, however I would say she handled it like a child and he handled it like a robot, neither was real. But the main point is that there was no purpose to any of it, or at least it was very poorly executed.

I thought for sure that the pictures of them from the airport would have some significance to the plot -- that one of them would be found by a significant other, precipitating a big messy breakup or something. Instead, they just went nowhere. As a writer, I think it's a mistake to introduce a prop and not use it.

Well, your erotic writing is as good as always. Must say, though, this story felt more erotic than "romantic", although I understand why it would be categorized in the latter. I am saying this because as a reader I only perceived flat characters emotionally and the ending was more like wham-- Here are the results! Erotically, of course, it was pulled off well. To tell you the truth, I even forgot the couple was cheating, so I am not sure if this story's back scenario was the best for it. It felt more like a reminder... yeah, we're cheating. Mmm...story-wise, not my favorite except sexually.

@HLD: Great story. Not much more that I can say. The sex was hot and raunchy, and the characters felt real. I enjoyed this almost as much as your "Spring Break" and subsequent stories, which are among my favorites on this site.

@the "slut-wife" and "cheating" commenters: I honestly don't get it. What is it about all the comments about the cheating and how they got away with it and no one told the story of the people they cheated on and blah blah... Are these people in grade school or something? Does every story have to have a moral and be morally uplifting? Should these people even be surfing a site that has erotica on it?

The _title_ is "What Happens in Vegas..." and not "What Happened To Those Left Behind While The Other Two Went To Vegas." The story was obviously posted here, in Romance, because it's about the romance between the two people who went to Vegas, Rick and Shelley, and not about Jared or (boolean operator) Terri, who were so peripheral to the story that I had to look up their names. It was about two people who found a connection to each other, which was primarily sexual but blossomed into more, had lots and lots and LOTS of sex over a short period of time (oral and anal and dear god! alternative nonmissionary sex positions not approved by the Pope, oh my!) who then re-evaluated their situations, split up with their current partners in an apparently adult manner, and moved on with their lives. They found their passion had consequences, they dealt with the resulting child and situation in an adult manner. There. A concise summary fit for a book report for those out there who have no reading-comprehension skills.

To the commenter who said to lighten up about the cheating aspect and that that was not what the story was about, I disagree.

The story is about two people who want something better and will hang on to what they have as a security blanket until they find something better.

Can you say mercenary?

This comes from the age of do whatever feels best for you and screw everyone else. Why do you think that not only the divorce rate for first marriages is high, but for second marriage as well.

This story is about two selfish people who will keep looking for the greener grass.

The story itself is well written by the author, but certainly demonstrates the weakness in society today as a whole.

I was actually surprised that there were several people out there that recognized this in their comments.
