A Gentleman's Folly: The Tainted Series

By T.L. Tate

This story is a follow-up to A Gentleman's Curse. Jacob is hurt and angry when he finds out that his wife, Rachel, had an affair. Upon realizing that the secret was out, Rachel flies home in an effort to salvage her dissolving marriage. The only problem is that Jacob has changed. He's no longer the soft love-struck person he was days before. This change was caused by the realization that his wife was having an affair and a little cheating on his own. Because of their shared infidelity he struggles to decide if the marriage is even worth saving. Despite his reluctance to stay with her, Rachel pulls out all the stops to try to win back his affection. It might be too little too late, but only time...and a little therapy will tell.

I love books. It has been a dream of mine since I was a child to author a book. A couple of years I gave it a try. It's hard work and I'm still learning but despite that...I love it! I love creating new worlds and falling in love with the characters that I create. I love hearing from fans or watching the downloads of my books increase. I love it because I know that in some way, I'm reaching someone that I wouldn't have before. Being an author is a great gift and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to share my stories with the world.

A Gentleman's Folly

The Tainted Series

The tablecloth was blotched in several places as a torrent of tears rained down her cheeks. Her sharp cheekbones did nothing from stopping them from rolling down her face. I sat before her, unmoved and uncaring, as she put on her little show.

Jake, please. You don't understand. I'm really, so very sorry. I fucked up, okay? I'm a fuck up. I'm sorry.

Rachel, the love of my life—my wife—my best friend, was desperately trying to appeal to the gentleman I was before she screwed me over. Up until the last 48 hours I would've fallen on every word she said like it was gospel. I trusted her with every fiber of my being, although she gave me very little reason to do so. Since we've been together, I've done my utmost to make sure that she was always taken care of. Rachel lived a life of perfuse satisfaction and elegance because I worked myself to the bone to make sure that she could. But as it turned out, she had grown bored. Apparently, being a reliable and good husband was too predictable to be considered exciting. She started flirting with a guy at her office and just four months ago until...hmm...last night, they were having an affair.

I initially found out because her sister, Toni, confronted her and ended up recording the illicit confession. Toni was a caring, hardworking and gorgeous woman who constantly thought about others before herself. So when she found out she gave her sister a chance to tell me. Only she didn't. Instead, on the day before my 30th birthday, and the day after I found out I got a huge promotion at work, Rachel embarked on a salacious journey to Sin City with her little fuck-partner. The cover story that she told me was that her boss forced her into a last minute conference in San Francisco. It was only after sitting in my darkened house, depressed, that Toni reemerged and played the recording of Rachel's confession.

It destroyed me. I lay on the pyre, built from the piercing words of her confession, and allowed it to burn away the softness, love and naivety that were the pillars of my previous self. What remained was a hardened and scarred man. I could still feel remnants of the love I felt for her before but now it was muted. It was like it was screaming behind several closed doors titled: Fuck you, Blow me, and Get the fuck out!

Even looking at her was hard. The sight of her twisted face as she squirted out tears, which I seriously doubted were genuine, made my blood boil. I closed my eyes, refusing to watch her act. I wanted to tell her to fuck off and toss her out of the damn house...but I didn't. Of course, I wasn't completely innocent in all of this. Perhaps she had a point. Just because she was one person when we met didn't mean that she couldn't change. Perhaps I was guilty in not attempting to understand her and just continued to look at her with rose-colored glasses. But on that...if she would've just talked to me one of the gazillion times that I asked, we could've worked it out. She didn't have to cheat on me.

Cheating...hmm. Well, that was the rub. Wasn't it? Technically, I'm no better than she is. When I found out about the affair I fell into a dark hole and Toni was the one that pulled me out of it. But she didn't do it with just words. She did it with her body. I slept with Rachel's little sister. She asked me to use her and I did so with abandoned. At the time I figured, if Rachel wanted a jerk then I could be a jerk and I would start by fucking my little sister-in-law. But I didn't just fuck her. I didn't just abuse her tight pussy. I didn't just jam my fat cock down her throat. I took her unspoiled and unused pussy and marked it with my seed. I made her mine and I loved every second of it.

I could still clearly see her face as she
