Pretend I am Her, or Our Open Marriage

Description

SHORT STORY (5590 words): Tom and Ellen had previously suffered failed marriages, so both agreed to a rather "open" marriage, as long as neither slept out or was affectionate with others in front of the other. For Tom this had worked well, though increasingly he felt pitfalls. When Ellen pushed a co-worker Lana on Tom at a party, he discovered Ellen had been having a once-a-week affair with an older, wealthy widower. Ellen had a head for business but wanted to move to another city to take a teaching job. Lana was the vulnerable one in the mix, but Tom found himself more and more drawn to her. Would he lose Ellen? What was the best course to steer through this dangerous affair? Adult themes, adultery, erotic drama.
