Adultery Consequences by xleglover-COMPLETED

A few minutes later the masseuse came out. She closed the door to the guest bedroom and turned on the lights. "Hello," the masseuse said. "You must be Jen. I'm Willow."

"Oh right, Joe's therapist," Jen said. They shook hands. Willow was an older woman. She had long black hair streaked with gray. Her face was old but kind and sharp. She wore a long black flowing dress. She kind of looked like a gypsy. She reminded Jen of Madame Marie, the fortune teller on the Jersey shore.

"Joe's doctor believes in holistic methods," Willow explained. "A massage feeds both the spirit and the body. Of the two, the spirit is the most important. A joyful spirit can cure an ailing body."

"Ailing?" Jen said concerned. "Is Joe okay? Is his cancer back?"

"My role is to lift the spirit," Willow said ignoring Jen's question. She shrugged resignedly. "I do the best I can. Joe and I are close. Not like family, but good friends. Our relationship is important to his treatment. To lift his spirit."

"Um, okay," Jen said uncertainly. Did Willow – this older 60ish woman -- have a physical relationship with Joe?

Willow smiled as if reading Jen's thoughts. The smile was enigmatic. "Joe said you and your husband are separated?" Willow said taking Jen's hand consolingly.

"Um yeah, but I think we'll get back together," Jen said.

Willow patted Jen's hand. "You've very pretty," she said. "I suspect your beauty causes you problems."

"Um, well, my mom says my looks get me into trouble," she said with an awkward laugh.

Willow nodded knowingly. She stroked Jen's hand. Not sexually, more like ... reading her fortune. "You've had joy, but sadness too," Willow said looking into Jen's eyes. "You'll have more sadness. But eventually you'll find happiness again."

A chill ran through Jen. A part of her believed in mystical things like fortune telling and holistic treatments. "How long will I be sad?" she asked.

Willow shook her head and gave a sympathetic smile. "That's not for me to say," the gypsy woman said. "That depends on you and others."

Jen scrunched up her pretty face into a grimace. "That's not much help."

"Follow your heart Jennifer," the gypsy woman said with that same enigmatic smile. "Always follow your heart."

Willow left and Joe came out of the bedroom a few moments later. "Hey bro," Jen said cheerily. "Sorry for interrupting your massage."

"No worries," Joe said looking tired but smiling at Jen. "You met Willow? She's great, right?"

"Yeah, she's kinda mysterious," Jen said. She quickly added "In a good way!" They both laughed. "How often do you get massages?"

"I get treatment every day," Joe said. "You know, doctor's orders. Usually it's Willow but sometimes it's a fill in. Willow's busy, she's pretty in-demand."

"I bet," Jen said. She looked concerned. "Are you okay Joe?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," he said looking away. An awkward silence passed. Jen got the impression he wasn't telling her everything. She made a mental note to talk to Mike about it.

Trying to be cheery, she said "Well, if you need a fill in I'm available. I used to be a masseuse you know."

"What? I didn't know that!" Joe said shocked.

"I took a class at Penn State," Jen said with a laugh. "It was an elective believe it or not." She laughed again. "Mike talked me into taking it so I could be his personal masseuse." She rolled her eyes and laughed again. "It came in handy though. When we moved in together I couldn't get a job right away. I worked at the spa at the St. Regis for a few months. We needed the money, you know how expensive New York is."

"Yeah," Joe said. He envisioned his beautiful sister-in-law with her tight dancer's body giving massages to old men with flabby bodies. No doubt they got hard as Jen rubbed oil into them. The image both disturbed and turned Joe on.

Trying to think of something else, he said "It's good hearing you talk about Mike," Joe said. "Are you two any better?"

"Actually, yeah," Jen said, relieved she could talk about them getting back together. "We're talking about getting back together."

"That's great!" Joe said happily. His smile turned into a frown. "But you're still living with that Frankie guy?"

"Yeah, I mean ..." She didn't know what to say.

Seeing Jen's discomfort, Joe forced a laugh and said "Have you ever seen one of these?" He took out something that looked like a pipe. "It's an electronic cigarette."

"Oh, I didn't know you smoked."

"I don't," Joe said with a mischievous smile. He pulled out a bottle. "This is cannabis extract."

"Marijuana?" Jen said smiling.

"Medicine, part of my therapy," Joe joked with a big smile. He poured a little of the extract into the pipe. "What to try it?"

"What's it like?" Jen said with a delighted smile.

"Just like a joint," Joe said wearing a big smile. He took a long drag, his eyes closing. Then he handed it to Jen. "Here."

Jen hesitated. Then she thought, why not? She took a long drag too. "Wow," she gushed her head rolling back. It WAS just like a joint.

"I know, right?" Joe said laughing. Jen took another hit. When she left she was definitely buzzed.

The next day Mike called Jen. Jen told Mike about Willow, although she didn't mention Willow's fortune telling, or the cannabis pipe (she wasn't sure Mike would approve of her getting high with his brother). "I'm worried about Joe," Jen said. "Has he had a relapse?"

"I haven't heard anything," Mike said. "Mom would know. She would've told us. Thanks for checking up with him."

"Of course baby," Jen said. "You know I like Joe a lot."

They talked about the Ring. Everything was still good, the Ring should be up and running by the pitch.

"Guess what?" Jen said brightly. "I got my period this morning."

"Oh okay," Mike said, feeling relieved and disappointed. Mostly relieved. But let down too. He was so back and forth on this! To hide his internal struggle he joked "So you'll be back in the saddle by Colin's party."

"God you have the strangest ways of saying things," Jen said with a laugh.

Mike laughed. "A bummer for Drums, your last week together," he said.

"Well unlike you he doesn't mind," Jen said with a laugh. "And this way we don't have to use condoms."

Mike felt his face flush. To hide his excitement he joked "I guess you had to buy more sheets."

"Don't get gross," Jen chastised him. "I don't like it either but I'm not going to tell him no, not our last week. Anyway, it feels better without condoms."

Mike felt his cock stiffen.

After a moment Jen giggled and said "I said that to turn you on! But it does feel better without condoms, you know that."

"Yeah," Mike breathed into the phone. "I want to talk about Colin's party. That weekend."

"Okay," Jen said.

"... I guess I'd be okay if you hooked up with Mal and Jay," Mike hesitantly said.

"Of you would, would you?" Jen said with a laugh. "We might as well include Artie too."

Mike grinned. "Might as well," he said only half joking.

"One last weekend for me to explore my inner sluttyness huh?" Jen joked.

"Exactly," Mike said.

"Oh my god you're serious!" Jen said with a disbelieving laugh.

"Only if you want to," Mike said. He hesitated, then said "There's one more thing."

"What?" When Mike hesitated again, Jen said "Come on, just tell me."

Mike hesitated, so torn about this. Then he blurted out "Why don't you invite Scott?"

There was a long silence. Finally Jen said "Invite Scott to Colin's party? You don't even like Scott."

"Yeah, that's kinda the point," Mike said with an embarrassed laugh.

"God Mike," Jen said. "Scott, really? Let me guess, you don't want me to bring any condoms."

Mike's voice caught in his throat. He managed to croak out, "That's up to you. And Scott."

"God Mike," Jen said incredulously. "Really?" She shook her head, frustrated with her husband. "I don't know, I'll think about it."
