The Swap - Second Chances: Second Chances (6 page)

Aggravated about Macy's plans Darnell reluctantly gathered the items needed for the cookout. He couldn't understand why she'd want to have the Stuarts over.

"You know we have servants for that," Macy said as she placed fresh flowers in the vases.

"We have servants for that as well," Darnell quipped as he watched Macy work.

"I enjoy doing this. Besides I think Jenna and Will are such a lovely couple, don't you? I thought it would be nice to have them over in an atmosphere where we can just relax and be friends," Macy said beaming her sweet smile at her husband.

Jenna grabbed her bag and looked questioningly at her husband and his sudden interest in going back to the Pickens mansion for a cookout. She and Darnell had discussed it earlier and they agreed to just play along and act as if they were happy with their spouses for one evening. In truth, Jenna and Darnell could hardly keep their hands off each other at work, finding excuses to duck into either office, working late, even making reasons that cost a great deal to head out of town so they could sleep all night together. The electrified sex they had made any other with Will and Macy seem pale. It was as if they had a magnet drawing them together and couldn't separate themselves except when Jenna had her cycle, then she stayed home feigning the aches and pains that kept her and Will apart.

That afternoon Darnell held Jenna in his arms. "It's coming to a point where we need to shut up or put up. We can't keep doing this indefinitely. I want a life outside this office, but I want it with you," Darnell said.

"Yet we are married to Macy and Will. We can't just cut them off like this. But I agree. Let's just get through this evening and see how it goes," Jenna said. Part of her didn't want to cut her marriage off just yet and part of her wanted to move on. She felt pulled in both directions.

So Jenna and Will arrived at the Pickens carrying a bottle of properly aged red wine, a drink Jenna enjoyed more often these days.

"Thank you, so sweet," Macy said as she took the wine and gave Jenna and Will a quick hug. Will, however, held her a moment longer giving her hand a quick squeeze. Macy felt a stirring in her heart as their eyes met.

Will stayed next to Jenna during the dinner as Darnell and Macy played the host. Darnell didn’t make a move to be close to Macy and Will felt badly for her wanting to go to her instead of sitting beside his cheating wife. Will and Macy scrutinized their spouses behavior and neither one gave an indication of their affair.

Darnell disappeared for a few moments and came running back. "Damnit, Jenna will you come to the office and help me upload the final sheets for end of the month. Mr. Camel said the earlier transmission didn't come through and he's going to work on the tax papers to send in first thing Monday morning. It's either now or we go in tomorrow sometime," Darnell said looking aggravated.

"What? Seriously? Tonight?" Jenna said throwing Darnell an exasperated look. She couldn't believe he did this.

"I tell you what, you two wait here, and we’ll run to the office and do this and return. It shouldn't take longer than half an hour to an hour. Okay?" Darnell said.

"Oh sure, go ahead. We'll wait right here and if you don't return we know where you are," Macy said and giggled.

Jenna and Darnell left in Darnell's Bentley and headed to the office. "I can't believe you did this," Jenna said looking at him with wide eyes.

Once they reached the office Darnell locked the door behind them and brought Jenna to his private break room, a room with a large soft sofa, a flat screen TV, and all the comforts of home. He turned to Jenna and brought her into his arms. "It's been too long," he said as he kissed her lips, then her neck.

Jenna giggled. "I can't believe you said that about the papers. I mean, it's something you could have done from your home office," Jenna said in between kisses. Darnell pulled her top off and started for her bra. She tugged at his trousers. "Besides, it's only been two days."

"Two days of hell. I need some sexual healing baby if I have to go the whole weekend without you," Darnell said as he stepped out of his clothing. He had Jenna to lie back on the sofa and he immediately went down between her legs. He couldn't get enough of her as he sniffed her bare muff. It drove his crazy.

Jenna laid back enjoying Darnell's tongue as he lapped up her slit and focused on her clit. The pleasure blossomed fast as she knew they had to be fast so they could get back to the dinner at his house.

Within seconds she thrashed about as she came hard with Darnell's expert tongue. Next he didn't waste any time climbing on top of her. "I don't know why I'm so horny for you right now. You actually tasted sweeter today," he said as she shoved his raging nine-inches into her slick wet pussy. She wrapped her legs about his waist as he began pumping. She couldn't fathom being with Will right now, not after being with Darnell and his voracious sexual appetite. They couldn't get enough of each other.

"Uhhh, FUCK, Jenna, Fuck, I'm losing it already," Darnell said as he pumped fast and hard and emptied his cock into her pussy. He stayed for a few moments lying there in her arms until his hard-on came back down.

"Don't mean to be unromantic, but we need to get back," Jenna said looking up at the clock on the wall.

"Yes, I think I'll last until Monday. I love you Jenna," Darnell said as he kissed her one last time before dressing.

"I love you too, Darnell," Jenna said.

Macy paced the floor and looked at the clock for the tenth time since Jenna and Darnell left. Will had been polite by not making a fuss while his wife went off with her boss to help upload some files for the accountant. Macy became more and more agitated while waiting.

Will got up and followed her as she walked out onto the terrace. "I just needed some air. I'm sorry. I feel like we have pie in our face now. What are we going to do?" Macy asked as Will stepped up. She shook as she stood there thinking about it. She turned to Will who had stepped right up to her.

He put his hands on her shoulders. She stood a little shorter than Jenna, her face turned up to his, her eyes misty and darting back and forth as she looked into Will's eyes. She smiled and tilted her head to the side.

Will bent forward in the moment, drawn to Macy's lips, she looked so inviting. He brushed them slightly and she responded by stepping closer. But then they pulled back a look of horror in their eyes at the exchange.

"I'm sorry," Macy said as she shook her head and proceeded to walk away. What if the servants saw? The servants are told to do their jobs and retreat to their own quarters and to stay out of the business of Mr. and Mrs. Pickens. They had long retreated with the orders to return when called. Still, Macy worried one may have seen the quick kiss.

"No, I'm sorry. That was in poor taste. You are the hostess here. We're both hurting over our spouses, it gives me no right to even consider kissing you," Will said quietly.

"It's okay Will, really. I wanted it as much as you did," Macy said smiling.

Will perked up. "You did?" he looked at her trying to decide the next move.

"We're both pretty lonely here. I think this is only natural, we just have to be careful," Macy said pointing to the house and mouthing servants.

Will chuckled and nodded. Servants were never an issue he had. Perhaps he should invite her to his house.

"Anyway, I'm interested," Macy whispered as they heard the vehicle return from the office carrying Jenna and Darnell.

Will had trouble focusing the rest of the evening because Macy kept smiling at him. It's like she totally checked out on being upset with Darnell and Jenna and focused on Will. His cock stiffened as they said good night and Macy gave each one a little hug, only she squeezed Will's arm. He couldn't wait to get home and either text or computer chat with her.

Jenna sat in the passenger's seat smoothing out her clothing on the way home. Will narrowed his eyes at his wife. "You and Darnell take care of the paperwork?"

Jenna chuckled. "Well, to be honest he had it all ready to go. All he had to do was hit send. This after we spent half an hour preparing another copy. Silly, huh?" she said looking over at her husband.

"Yeah, silly," Will said staring straight ahead. He hoped it would be business as usual at home with many of Jenna's excuses not to go to bed at the same time as him.

When they walked into the house Jenna gave a big yawn. "I'm beat. I'm going to take a nice relaxing bath and hit the hay. You need anything before I go?" she asked Will, her eyes drooping.

"Not at all dear. You look tired. Go enjoy your bath and rest. I'll come to bed later. I need to unwind a bit more before I lie down," Will said. He had to stop himself from smiling when Jenna turned to leave.

After she disappeared into their bedroom he made himself comfortable on the sofa and grabbed his laptop. He hoped Macy would be there. To his disappointment she wasn't. He sent her a text and hoped Darnell wouldn't be nearby to get it. She had commented she gave him a cryptic name so if anyone ever did grab her phone they'd not know who he was.

He sent Macy a text.
I'm on...

Within five minutes Macy logged onto her tablet and there she smiled at him, her eyes kept darting around. "I'm making sure Darnell's in bed. He claimed he had a headache so he showered and went right to bed. I told him I wanted to check my emails and grabbed my tablet and came down into my office. Hang on let me go check," Macy said and set her tablet down.

Will waited and Macy came back smiling big. "Okay, he's asleep in bed. He fell asleep with the TV on. I thought I heard something and I wondered if he were talking to Jenna," she said.

"I'm glad you're here," Will said smiling.

"Jenna?"

"She's in the tub. Exhausted," Will said and made a motion with his hand to his forehead making light of the situation.

"So should we talk about what happened with us tonight?" Macy asked.

Will shrugged. "It happened. It wouldn't have happened if your husband and my wife were behaving. They're not and I'm almost to the point that I don't care. You know what I mean?" Will asked with a wink to the web cam.

Macy blushed. "I do," she whispered. "So the question remains, where do we go from here?"

"That, my dear, is the question of the century. I suppose we wait and see the implosion of our collective marriages, and then we pick up the pieces."

Jenna stared hard at the test results in her hand.
Pregnant
. She strained to remember the last time she and Will slept together and it had been so long she couldn't even pinpoint it. She had kept him satisfied with hand jobs here and there but they hadn't connected in many cycles. She swallowed hard.

She sent Darnell an urgent text.
Something happened. We need to talk NOW. I'll be there in a few...

On the way to work she went over different scenarios about how she'd tell Darnell. Her mind threw questions at her one after the other. Even if she did get Will to sleep with her real quick the baby would obviously look like they came from a black father. She shook her head, there's no way to escape this.

She sailed past the receptionist giving her a cursory smile and nod as she rushed on down the hall and hoped Darnell had made it in already. She needed to tell him. He came rushing around the corner.

"Jenna? Are you okay? I got your message," Darnell said and Jenna rushed into her office and looked at the door. Darnell shut it and locked it.

Jenna fished around in her purse and produced the test. After thrusting it in Darnell's hands she said, "You're the only man I've been with in months. I haven't slept with Will at all since you and I got together, except maybe once in the very beginning. I've had several cycles since then, so there is no mistaking this." Her eyes landed on Darnell as he took in the test and the information she just spewed at him.

"This is, you're uh," Darnell tried to say but the words escaped him.

"I guess we need to have a meeting with Will and Macy and come clean. I mean, I can't pull this off as Will's baby. You're certainly darker skinned," Jenna said with a nervous laugh.

"Well, let me ask you Jenna, are you happy about it?"

Jenna looked up at Darnell. "Happy? I just got caught having an affair on my husband. We weren't trying to get pregnant and my lover made me pregnant. My lover is also a married man and my boss. Should I be?" Jenna cried.

"Will and Macy aside, are you happy? I mean a baby! I know we're in a difficult situation but I'm thrilled," Darnell got up and went to Jenna.

Jenna broke down and cried while Darnell comforted her. "Hey now, it's going to be okay. We will figure this out. We'll just have to have a confession session and see how everyone reacts. Both Will and Macy are reasonable adults. And don't you think they may suspect? I do," Darnell said.

Jenna turned her teary eyes to Darnell. "Yeah, I guess we need to tell them. When?"

"Well, no time like the present. Let's do it tonight," Darnell said as he rubbed Jenna's back.

"Shouldn't we wait until I get a doctor's confirmation?"

"No. Even if there's not a baby, this needs to come out. Jenna, I'm miserable. I am in love with you. I do love Macy, but not enough to stay faithful. You have been the love of my life forever. I honestly thought I'd never see you again when I married Macy. I tried to stay away from you but it was so hard. Now that we've been together these months I'm happiest at work. I go home and there's stress and tension. Macy deserves better than this. I want to set her free to find the one she belongs with. I want to be free so I can rightfully be with you. But now that a baby is on the way, it's all the more important. This cinches it," Darnell said.

Jenna nodded. What he said rang true with her and she knew they needed to do this. "I've been miserable at home since before we got together. I tried to make it work with Will. It's like we're two different people, we just don't mesh like we should. I don't know, I guess if you hadn't come back into my life it may have been different. But fate intervened and here we are. Baby and all," Jenna said rubbing her belly.

"Then we'll tell them tonight."

"What about our living arrangements. If marriages are over, then homes will be interrupted. I doubt Will will want me sticking around. I'm not sure how Macy feels or what we'll do," Jenna said always the worrier.

"We'll figure out the details as it happens. We just need to get through this. Don't worry, if Will kicks you out I'll take care of you," Darnell said.

"What about Macy? She has just claim to your property and business. What will we do?"

"You know, I don't know about all the details. We'll deal with it Jenna. We have to trust that all will work out. Let's just take it one step at a time here and move on. Let's set up a meeting tonight to tell Macy and Will. We'll go from there," Darnell said.

"Okay," Jenna said suddenly feeling sick.

"Don't worry, it will all be okay. It will work out, you'll see. I will make sure of it. I'm relieved to be honest. To get this out in the open and to be able to be with you. Come here," Darnell said and pulled Jenna into his embrace.

"You know, I think we conceived this baby when Will and I went to your house a few weeks ago," Jenna said blushing.

"Yes, I'm sure, or the days before that..."

They both chuckled and kissed. Darnell aimed to keep his promise to take care of her and he'd pay Macy and Will off too if necessary. One thing in Darnell's corner had to be his massive wealth. He smiled through the rest of the day as they set up the meeting with Will and Macy.
