Winchester 1.3

Gordon was spending more time at work. He seemed fixated on the fact the he needed more money. And he was getting it too but we were steadily drifting apart. It was partly my fault. When I was with him I was thinking of Dane.

“Dane, what time is it?”

“Who cares?” he whispered as his hand trailed down my back to cup my butt. He gave it a firm squeeze and then ground his pelvis against mine. “I think we have plenty of time to-”

I yanked away when I heard the familiar sound of Gordon’s ride pulling up in front of the house. Knowing that Gordon talked for awhile with his friend before heading into the house I hurried tossed on some clothes then raced back into the bathroom to see Dane leaning against the wall.

“Dane, get dressed!” I hissed.

“I hate this shit,” he growled. “Why don’t you just leave him?”

“Dane, we don’t have time to-”

“When will we have time Tonya? I’m tired of sneaking around. Only being able to have a part of you’re time.”

“Dane, please!”

Cursing under his breath he was reaching for his pants when the front door burst open. I raced out into the living room.

“Guess who just got a promotion, my love?” Gordon exclaimed as he took my arm and began to press kisses up it. I gave a nervous laugh and then my eyes widened when Dane stepped out of the bathroom still in his underwear.

“No!” I mouthed.

He shrugged and then cleared his throat. Gordon’s head shot up.

“Hey, you must be Gordon,” Dane said in his jovial doctor voice. “I’m a colleague of your…wife and she happened to mention that little Neil wasn’t feeling well so I came over here to check on him. Little guy threw up all over my clothes and your wife,” this time the word was snapped out through gritted teeth, “was kind enough to throw them in the wash for me. I’ll just finish ironing them now.”

Dane spun on his heel.

“Wait a minute!” Gordon exclaimed.

My heart started to beat triple time in my chest as Dane slowly turned around. I could tell he was bracing himself for a fight.

“Thanks so much for taking care of my son. I really appreciate it. I don’t know what I would do if something happened to the little guy. Really. If there’s anything I can do to repay you let me know.”

Dane opened his mouth but I beat him to the punch. “No honey, I think the doctor would be embarrassed to take anything from you. Wouldn’t you doctor?” I turned to Dane with a sickly smile on my face. My palms were sweating and I felt sick to my stomach.

“No, no…I wouldn’t want to take anything from him. I only want what is freely given.” He gave me a pointed look before heading into the bedroom.

Gordon filled the silent with his chatter about his promotion and didn’t seem to notice when Dane came out of the bedroom. They nodded at each other and Dane leaned in toward me, as if to kiss me, before straightening abruptly and giving me one last heated look walked out of the door.

“We should celebrate!” Gordon said oblivious to the tension in the air. I blinked when he came over and slipped my jacket off my shoulders. “And I think I know exactly what I want,” he said as he leaned in and nibbled on my ear.

I gave him a half hearted smile as he settled me on his lap.

“You are so beautiful,” he whispered. “Have I told you lately how much I love you?”

He leaned in and caressing my thigh kissed me with an enthusiasm that I rarely got from him.

I closed my eyes and tried to lose myself in the kiss, the kiss of my husband, but other images flitted behind my eyelids.

Dane. It was Dane I thought of as Gordon entered me and it was Dane’s name I silently screamed as I climaxed. And as Gordon laid on top of me, breathing heavily in my ear, it was Dane’s voice I heard whispering in my ear how much he enjoyed the touch of my skin, the taste, the feel. How much he loved me. Tears seeped from behind my tightly closed lids but I quickly brushed them away.

I was a married woman in love…but not with my husband.

A few weeks later I felt a little sick to my stomach and as I knelt over the toilet heaving out my lunch I heard the now familiar click of the camera but this time I didn’t worry about the angle or what she was shooting. Instead I worried that this wasn’t just an upset stomach. It was soon proven to be true. And now I had another worry…

That was I was going to end up on Maury trying to figure out the paternity of my baby’s father.

Writer’s Notes: Roxxie came strolling by the house. I forgot that when I first plopped her down in the hood she slept with Gordon. They still have two bolts but weirdly enough they didn’t flirt or anything. Although Roxxie did have the hearts and she is engaged to the guy who had his hands in his ears in the first chapter of this story.

Toni did get rejected by the guy who came out of the photo booth with that chick.

Gordon strolled up to Dane and shook his hand by himself. Stupid Sims. Dane gave him that strange look all by himself seeing as how he was just fondling his wife not five minutes earlier.

Dane and Toni have two bolts but they’re always flirting which is something that she and Gordon never do.

Alfonso showed up downtown and did that all by himself. He really IS a crybaby!

FYI: Gordon’s second aspiration is Wealth and Toni’s is Family. And at this point in the story I really didn’t know who the father was since I have the silent ‘Try for Baby’ hack. Good times!
