"You made a wonderful honeymoon for us, Grime," Ali said as we lay beside each other in bed.
We had just made love once more. It was not fair to compare Ali to Reese, but I couldn't help it. She was so much more alive and responsive. I thought Reese was a wonderful lover until I met my new wife. I guess the word I was looking for was enthusiasm. Ali had enthusiasm for making love. It wasn't just a function to fulfill needs, it was an event to be celebrated. I didn't know the difference until I met her.
Lying there, I thought some more about how my life had changed over the past eighteen months. From despair to redemption. From Reese to Ali. I had gone through enough to make me completely sure that I had found my soul mate.
"A penny for your thoughts," she whispered in my ear.
"I don't know where to begin. All the things that have happened to me and our family have been so ... inexplicable. I would never have believed that Reese would betray me. I would never have believed that I would find someone like you and fall so completely and totally in love in such a short time. If you wrote this as a story, no one would believe it. These kinds of things don't happen to ordinary people."
"What gave you the idea we're ordinary?" she asked, gripping my limp manhood.
"That's how I think of myself ... but ... I guess the truth is ... you are anything but ordinary. Maybe that explains some of it. Maybe you are a witch and have cast a spell on me," I smiled as she continued to try and resurrect me.
"That's very possible. I might be a witch. But, do you care?"
"No," I answered immediately. "No ... not at all. I'm quite happy to be under your spell."
"Well then, Gray-ham, what do you have to complain about?"
"Please, Ali. Please don't try and pronounce my name that way. For you, I'm Grime, and I'm happy with that."
She laughed. "I knew I could wear you down, sooner or later. Now, since I've restored you to your usual lively self, I would appreciate some very personal attention."
"My pleasure," I said, rolling her over and slipping into her willing embrace.

Previously published on another site and originally edited by ErikThread, DaveT, and Bigfoot. Bigfoot suggested significant changes in the story. After two abortive attempts, I returned to the original concept, restructuring some of the latter chapters. My thanks to all three for their efforts to make this a better story. Any errors are mine alone.

Ravey194 months agoA good story with characters that could be realistic. Not all divorces end in acrimony and while Grime had his anger issues he realised that and was able to work through them with his Psych's help.
Anonymousalmost 2 years agoThe most important part of the story and turning point was when Grime decided to get counseling and unravel and understand the stress, anxiety, and confusion that had overtaken his life... then, he contemplated his dilemma and acted accordingly and appropriately... of course, that is not what most do... they just dive right back into self-destructive relationships. 5-stars... and I do not give those often or lightly.
Anonymousabout 2 years agovery good story overall and i enjoyed it. One thing that i dont remember ever getting addressed was why the cunt cheated in the 1st place. Bought car , got hit on by a predator, but why did she fall for him? Mc made a comment in this last set that rewoke my curiosity about wht she cheated. If she thought he was passive or a wuss, she sure wasnt a dynamo of decisiveness her own cunt self. She thought so little of her marriage and had so little guilt that noone noticed until the kids during the last mth or two before the showdown. Her passivity allowed herself to be seduced by a scumbag liar, allowed atty or romeo to persuade her to emasculate hubby financially and emotionally w/o a peep of protest. She was quite the cunt, never empathized w/ the pain she caused him and still thought so highly of herself she expected a reconciliation?! i fuckin hate people like that and they make up more than 1/2 the us population, selfish, narcissistic, entitled parasites on american society and culture.
BlackJackSteelealmost 3 years agoAnother excellent story, Coaster2.
As I've said before, you have a very professional writing style. You stories are well plotted and flow along nicely from start to finish. You also have a good handle on the English language and the rules applying to its usage.
Very well done.
It saddens me that we've not seen any of your work for some time. I hope that means that you have begun publishing your work to a wider market.
Rancher46over 3 years agoWow, what an amazing story. It started out with such deceit and betrayal and then through a very well written story it progresses to a very loving recovery with Graham and Ali finding true love. In the end more than a happily ever after, a
new family was created with all the love anyone could ever ask for. Even Reese the ex-wife became civil and accepted her fate of being kicked to the curb and faded off into the distance. The character development was excellent and this story by far is one of the best, if not the best stories I have read here on this site. 5/5 stars.
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoI have been reading all of coaster's stories. I finally got to the last one, for now. It continued his great storytelling. I'm sorry I'm done, but I hope there will be more to read. Kudos to the author.
Wargameralmost 4 years agoGreat story.
By the way I’m Australian from Brisbane Queensland, lived my life there.
It may surprise you, we do not speak like you have portrayed us. We also pronounce Graham as Grayham NOT Grime.
Also if you ever use Australians again as a main character study our vernacular better than what you did.
Eg, We do not say get a wiggle on, it is get a wriggle on. We do not say crikey at all. Only the late Steve Irwin did that.
All that aside loved the story scores 5/5
