To try and forget about human nature is difficult and likely will result in a bad decision. This is a story of a couple where human psychology was ignored by one of them and resulted in the eventual disintegration of the relationship.

I saw some websites on the web, when I was doing some research for another story, that talks about FemDom marriages and the concept of loving female domination as a lifestyle for couples. I put it into the fantasy/fiction category and am deeply skeptical that any real relationship like that could survive for the long term. When a couple try and make it the guiding principle of their lives that is where the trouble starts. With that in mind I wrote this short story.

This is version 2 of this story. I've added a bit of detail that it needed to make it a better story. Any errors or mistakes are mine.

Remember that this is pure fiction, so enjoy.

*****

This is the story of Jacob and his marriage to his wife of three years, Olivia. This is the story of how their marriage became toxic and quickly disintegrated. This is a story of love that started out with the best of intentions, at least for Jacob, not so much for Olivia, but got off track in the belief that women were truly superior to men.

While some might believe that female supremacy business, the reality is that we are all people who deserve to be treated with respect and love. If respect was the norm in society, we would all be a lot better off; but I digress, so back to Jacob and Olivia.

To begin the story, it might be helpful to know a bit about both Jacob and Olivia, and their stories.

Jacob is thirty years old and a chartered accountant with a major firm in Albuquerque. He is six-foot, one inch tall and weighs 160 pounds. He has a slender build and is very fit. He dresses well in clothing that suits his shape and has a modern haircut that goes with his tan. He is what women would think of as very good-looking in a muted masculine way. Muted because he does not come across as a macho type, but he does exude masculinity. That and he uses a very sexy smelling body wash; weird name for the stuff, buts its very popular and is expensive. He works out at the gym at least four times a week and enjoys several outside activities like running, hiking and cycling.

Olivia is thirty-two years old and a lecturer at a university in Albuquerque, teaching women's studies. She's an avowed feminist but more accurately might be described as a Female Supremacist. She firmly believes that women are superior to men in just about every category. She believes that women are better at making decisions and running businesses, running government and especially running families. She believes that women are more intelligent, thoughtful and caring than men. Her evidence of this is reflected in the rise of the number of women in corporate leadership roles, government leaders at the federal, state and local levels and that women make up many new doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, scientists and health care professionals. Women outnumber men in university and university graduation rates and women are now pretty much equal to men in what they are being paid.

The patriarchal society that we have known for centuries is slowly giving way to a matriarchal order that is seeing women poised to take control of government and power in the next century.

Consequently, when Jacob and Olivia started dating, she was quick to assert her dominance in the relationship. Jacob came from a background where women played the most important roles; his mother was loving and nurturing, but she applied strict discipline to him and his four sisters; but mostly him. His mother did not hesitate, when he was little, to take him over her knee, pull his pants and underwear down and spank him on his bare behind with her hand.

Jacob was, unbeknownst to him because of his predisposition to be attracted to dominant women, looking for a wife that would fit with his preconception of a partner that would be equally strong as his mother; sons want to marry their mothers much the same as women want to marry their fathers, or so says the psychology experts who tell us why we act and think in the ways that we do. All very deep and complicated but I suppose it reveals why certain men are attracted to certain women.

Olivia wanted a husband that she could dominate and make into what she considered the perfect partner. What she wanted was ultimately very different from what Jacob wanted. The problem was that Jacob didn't know what he really wanted until it was almost too late.

Olivia had a plan in her mind to carefully shape the nature of her relationship with Jacob and transform it into what she wanted. There would be key turning-points that would tell if she would achieve her aim or end her relationship and move on. Those critical events would be the foundation of her plan and she would approach each of them in a slow and deliberate way so that Jacob might not even realize that she was shaping him into the husband that she wanted.

Olivia is almost the same height as Jacob and when she wears high-heel shoes she is one inch taller. So right away there is the physical aspect of domination. Olivia is stunningly beautiful, and most men would be flattered for her to even give them the time of day let alone a date and then marriage. Jacob thought that he had done extremely well when he started dating Olivia.

They discovered that they had some similar interests. They both enjoyed cycling. She was better at it than he was but that was a small thing. He owned a mountain bike and rode it as often as he could. Olivia owned three bikes and rode competitively. She wasn't Olympic caliber but was fast and made a good showing in local competitions.

Olivia made most of the decisions about what they did during their recreation time in the evenings and weekends. They didn't live together before they got married but Jacob committed most of his time away from work to Olivia.

She picked the activities, movies, restaurants, parties that they went to, people that they socialized with, what they did on the weekends and just about every other aspect of their life together. Jacob's approach was that if she was happy then he was happy. And that's no different than most non D/s relationships; men will happily let the women make decisions if it makes them happy; how else are men going to get sex if they don't.

So, we start out with two people who are young, beautiful, fit, talented, have good careers, and on the surface have all the tools to develop into a life of great success.

There is one fly in that ointment.

Olivia had a plan for her life that was not on Jacob's radar. As a Dominant her intent in the marriage was to have Jacob slowly adapt so that her needs would always come ahead of his. Jacob, as the submissive, although he didn't think of himself as a submissive when he met Olivia, would make Olivia the single priority in his life. Her needs would always come ahead of his.

Olivia had an extensive library of feminist literature that she taught at the university and she frequently brought home. One of those works was a book by a noted writer and sex researcher. She had written a couple of books on FemDom relationships and the psychology behind them. Her main work was a book that described loving female domination.

Olivia considered her works to be a blueprint of what she wanted her marriage to become. She was determined to dominate Jacob and made a careful plan to do just that. She also knew that it would not be that difficult a job since Jacob came from a female dominant family and his inner need to please women was such that she could make him into whatever she wanted him to be.

Even before they were married, she began the process. She left her copy of the book on loving female domination, really her action plan, on her dining room table so that Jacob could see it. She talked about it and recommended that he read it. He did. That was the start of the process of Jacob submitting to Olivia in a Dominant/submissive lifestyle.

Olivia wanted to dominate Jacob not just in the bedroom but 24/7. Her plan was to take control of his life. Her plan was to assume her role as a Female Supremacist and show that she was superior to her husband, the man that she wanted to get married to and spend her life with. It was as if Jacob was needed to validate Olivia and her beliefs. Not that she wanted him for the basic of love, lust and desire in the traditional sense. She wanted him to fulfill her needs in a very different way. Olivia needed Jacob to validate her views of her place in a matriarchal society ruled by women.

According to the book, the theory is that if a woman can control a man's orgasm, she can control the man. That was the central foundation for Olivia's entire plan and the start for all the other parts of their D/s lifestyle that would follow. That was the teachings of her mentors.

Olivia believed the book when it said that men put too much emphasis on their penis' and are controlled by the need for orgasm. She believed that if she could harness that need (no pun intended here) then she could achieve the first and biggest step in her plan. Whether or not she planned to go to extremes such as cuckolding him or enforced chastity, that was yet to be determined.

Jacob was well equipped to satisfy Olivia in the bedroom. His cock was eight inches long when erect and was fairly thick when it was hard. But the D/s lifestyle wasn't entirely about the physical, it was about dominating Jacob's psyche. The brain is the real sex organ. If she could control his orgasms and thus control his thinking and emotions through all the things that were part of the female domination program, then it didn't really matter what Jacob wanted, how big and hard his cock got, or anything else. It was all about what pleased Olivia. The brain is the key to sexual satisfaction.

Her first step in her grand plan was to get Jacob hooked on oral sex in the bedroom. As she ramped-up the amount of time he spent with his head buried between her legs she slowly reduced the times that he would be allowed to penetrate her. She was sure that his need to orgasm in her pussy would eventually drive him to be compliant to her other wishes in their relationship. Jacob wasn't really fussed by this; come on, what red-blooded man doesn't like to eat pussy? Especially when it is one as fine as Olivia's. And she tasted delicious. Her body spray would drive him wild by itself and he was always eager to get between her legs. He loved the feel of her clit on his lips and tongue and would eagerly suck it out from its hiding place under the hood.

They normally would have sex three or four times a week. As oral sex was introduced, that frequency stayed the same for the first couple of months and then it slowly started to change. After Olivia would have three or four thundering orgasms from Jacob's lips, tongue and fingers she would be spent and tell him that she could not take anymore. She would send him off to the bathroom to wash up his face and hands and then come back to bed to snuggle with her. His cock would be rock hard with the anticipation of an orgasm, but she would push her ass back against it and tell him that they might have sex tomorrow night. On those nights he would quietly suffer but longed to orgasm in Olivia's pussy.

Jacob was polite to a fault. He was deferential to all women in general and respectful of them collectively and individually. So, when Olivia would deny him the opportunity to orgasm, he was silent in his disappointment. He would never think to complain to the beautiful woman that he was sharing a bed with.

In her big picture plan, when they married, Olivia wanted to have Jacob agree to a FemDom Marriage Contract. It would clearly identify Olivia as the boss and Jacob as the servant. It was really a FemDom version of a prenuptial agreement. The theory expressed in some of the writing on D/s relationships was that a FemDom marriage would be based on loving female authority.

The operative work there is 'loving.'

Notwithstanding that Jacob would be giving up most of his freedoms to Olivia, and the ability to make independent action and choice, she is also bound by the agreement to act with love and care for the man she controls.

There must be a huge amount of trust on the part of the man that the woman will not mistreat him. The woman must have the man's best interests at heart in every decision that she makes, and she cannot be mean and spiteful in her decisions otherwise the relationship will suffer and the man, notwithstanding any agreement that might have been made, will ultimately want to leave the relationship. That's just how human nature works and no piece of paper will change that.

The ultimate intent of Olivia was to have someone that she could control and shape into the partner and husband that she wanted. She knew that Jacob was pliable enough that she could transform him into that role over time so that he would hardly know it was happening. Before they married Jacob was comfortable in his role believing that he was to be a strong and equal partner in the relationship.

It was just before they were to be married that Olivia presented the FemDom Marriage Contract to her fiancé. She was well underway and working on her plan to make him into her ideal husband. Jacob was still surprised by the fact that she had an actual written contract that she wanted him to agree to and sign. He initially thought that it was a prenuptial agreement but when he read it; well, it was something quite different.

To say that he was shocked would be an understatement. It didn't talk about the things that prenuptial agreements define, no, it went into detail about the nature of the relationship. His subservience to Olivia in all things. Especially sexual. The part that got his attention the most was the item that allowed Olivia to take other lovers if she wanted to. Her intent was that Jacob was not going to be consulted but he had to give approval now that she would have that ability as the Dominant in the marriage. Olivia talked about this as a normal agreement that all women would eventually have their new husbands accept and based it on the FemDom lifestyle book that she was using as her plan.

Olivia was adamant that she would not marry Jacob unless he agreed to the contract and signed it before the wedding ceremony. They had been together for over a year and Jacob was, until now, certain that Olivia was the woman that he wanted to share his life with; but this was something that he wasn't certain that he could live with.

Olivia justified it through her strong beliefs as a Female Supremacist that it was her rightful place to be the head of the family and that she was better equipped to make decisions, and thus would have the final say in all matters. It would be Jacob's duty to support his wife in the marriage and that meant he would give Olivia all the authority in the relationship and over him in all things. It was a step that he was not sure he was ready to make.

To help him along to sign the marriage contract Olivia took him to the bedroom and lavished him with attention. She worked hard to make sure that Jacob enjoyed several orgasms, both in her vagina and in her mouth.

"Sweetheart, I only want what is best for us as a couple. You know that I love you so much and that everything I will do I will do it with you and I in mind. I'm not about to do anything that would be harmful to us."

Jacob was mesmerized by Olivia, her voice, her scent, the feel of her skin. She felt almost electric to his touch. Jacob kissed almost every square inch of her body. They kissed for a long time with their tongues exploring each other. Jacob moved down her neck and shoulders and then to her breasts. He lingered over her nipples, sucking greedily at them before continuing his journey down her body to her stomach and then to her hips finally coming to rest at her pussy.

Olivia spread her legs to give Jacob easy access to her vagina and most importantly her clit. He used his lips, tongue and fingers to coax the nub of her pleasure from its hiding spot under its hood. As he drew it out Olivia was arching her back and thrusting her hips forward. She clutched the bed sheets with both fists and then grabbed the back of Jacob's head to pull him ever deeper into her. She had a long rolling orgasm that seemed to go on for hours. It would fade for a few seconds and then as Jacobs lips would suck just a bit more Olivia would roll right into the next orgasm. She lost track of the number of times that she peaked but didn't want it to end.

Jacob inserted two fingers in her vagina to locate and tease her G Spot. That combined with his sucking at her clit pushed her over the edge again. Olivia was breathing hard and moaning. "Oh fuck, Jacob, don't you dare stop, keep that going Sweetie, Oh fuck, that is so good. Oh fuck, I'm cumming and cumming and cumming again. Oh yeeeesssss!"

Jacob was as hard as a rock and couldn't take it another second. "Olivia, I really need to be inside you right now. I'm ready to cum and I need you now."

Olivia was lost to the pleasure that she was feeling and wanted him to fuck her. "Put your cock in me now Baby. I want to feel you inside me. I want you to cum inside me tonight."

Jacob didn't need any more coaxing and moved up so that the head of his cock was pushing at the outer lips of Olivia's vagina. Slowly he pushed in. Olivia was wet with her lust from the orgasms that she had already experienced. For Jacob, pushing his eight inches inside Olivia was like falling into heaven. He was in a place that held no comparison. He knew he loved this woman; he loved the touch and feel of her. He loved the taste of her.

Jacob was slowly stroking his cock in and out of Olivia's vagina. His eyes were closed and Olivia could see the look of complete satisfaction on his face. Olivia knew that Jacob was hers.

Jacob pushed deep and told Olivia that he was about to cum. She grabbed his hips and pulled him in. "Cum deep inside me Baby. Shoot your sperm into me, I want it all."

Jacob arched his back as he pushed deep, "Aaarrgghhh, Oh Fuck! I'm cumming. "

Olivia could feel the pulses of his cock and the gusher of his sperm as it hit her cervix and womb. He was deep inside Olivia and filled her with his load.

They rested under the sheet and told each other how much they loved the other. Olivia knew that Jacob was hers, and she could do just about anything with him and he would never complain if he got to do this whenever she decided he was deserving.

Their pillow talk was a lot about how a FemDom marriage contract would bring peace and harmony to their marriage and allow love to flow freely. She knew best. She whispered in his ear how this sort of wonderful lovemaking would be their normal life.

Olivia talked a lot about loving female domination as the way of the future and how it would ultimately be better for them as a couple and for society as the benefits are seen by others.

Olivia was careful to not mention the part where her intent was to regularly discipline Jacob with a physical paddling to his ass. She planned to do that on a weekly basis. She reckoned that it would reinforce his submissive attitude and set the conditions that would allow her to do whatever it was she wanted to do. Those things might or might not include Jacob.

Olivia praised Jacob and told him how much she loved him and respected him, but also restated her belief that women were better leaders and the natural choice to be the head of the family. If Jacob couldn't understand that and accept it maybe she had made a mistake in believing that he was the one for her to spend her life with. She told him that this was not a negotiable condition of their marriage. If he was not prepared to live in this sort of relationship, then maybe they should go their separate ways.
The fact that Jacob had just had the best sex of his entire life was not lost on him. He began to think that maybe being in this sort of marriage would be fine. It might take some adjustment, but he was not totally against making compromises for the woman that he loved. And besides, what man doesn't make concessions for the woman that he loves.

Her talk made Jacob reassess his expectations for marriage. He loved Olivia, or at least thought he did. Could he live in that kind of relationship? Could he essentially give up control, not just over the relationship but over himself? Wasn't marriage supposed to be an equal partnership with a foundation built on love and caring for the other person? This was a difficult problem. He was not sure how he felt about that kind of commitment.

Jacob often had to travel with his work so when he left the next Monday, Olivia told him to think very carefully about what it was that he wanted and if he loved her enough to give her control of their marriage.

As he was leaving, she kissed him deeply with a lot of tongue, holding him and whispering in his ear that she loved him. She held him tight to her body so that he could feel her heat and said that she was sure he would make the right decision.

Jacob was gone for four days and had a hard time concentrating on his work. The entire time he was distracted with the notion of a marriage to Olivia based on a FemDom Marriage Contract. Olivia was very sure that Jacob would bend to her wishes and sign the Marriage Contract. She was so sure she started making plans for the wedding.

When Jacob got home from his work trip he went to Olivia. He took her to dinner at one of their favorite restaurants, and after some small talk about their week apart and what they did, he got to the subject that they both wanted to discuss.

"Olivia, I've thought a lot about you this week and the idea of signing a marriage contract and what it would mean for us. Are you certain that you need this for us to be married?"

"Oh Sweetie, you know me well enough to know that, first and foremost, I love you so much. I also know that this will be good for us and let us flourish as a couple and eventually as a family."

"Okay." Jacob told her that he was willing to sign the FemDom marriage contract. He got down on one knee and for a second time asked her to marry him. That was the start of the end for Jacob.

Olivia was ecstatic that she had won. That night she took Jacob to bed and had him use his mouth and tongue on her clit and pussy for over an hour before he was able to put his cock in her. He was so worked up that he came within a few minutes. Olivia was smiling both inwardly and outwardly as she knew that she was truly the Dominant and her new husband was the submissive.

*******

********

So, that was the FemDom Marriage Contract that Olivia and Jacob signed. It was witnessed by a friend of Olivia's who also followed the same Female Supremacist lifestyle with her husband.

They were married soon after in a small ceremony attended by family, several of Olivia's friends, who were also Female Supremacists, and a couple of Jacobs friends.

Olivia was stunning in a beautiful white dress and Jacob was incredibly handsome in his black tuxedo. They had a great celebration with their guests to mark the start of their marriage.

Publicly they were a happy couple and honeymooned in Spain and Portugal for three weeks to celebrate their marriage. Jacob knew that he had made a commitment to Olivia that was very much beyond the normal vows that couples make to each other when they marry.

The FemDom Marriage Contract endowed Olivia with incredible authority over Jacob in the relationship. It stressed the concept of 'loving' female domination. At least that was what was talked about in the books about female domination.

But really, was that just a cover to allow Olivia the ability to be unfaithful to her husband while insisting that he be the opposite. An open marriage allows both wife and husband to take other lovers. This arrangement gave all the benefit to the wife. Is that 'loving' female domination? That was a good question for anyone that believed that Female Supremacy brought with it the ability to ignore basic human-nature considerations that have been the foundation of marriage for centuries.

For most of us marriage brings with it the expectation of monogamy. We all believe that we start out with the intent to be faithful to one another. All too often people are distracted or bored or easily tempted and stray. But this was giving permission before the marriage. No, this was the taking of the right to be adulterous ahead of time. Only it was for the benefit of the wife and not the husband. What sort of marriage can withstand that condition? The possibility of there being problems was enormous. What about sexually transmitted diseases? Unwanted pregnancy? Hooking up with someone who was violent? All sorts of problems were possible.

A week after they were married and while they were on their honeymoon in Spain Olivia announced to Jacob that it was time for his first weekly discipline session. He was to strip naked and position himself on his knees on the armchair in the center of the room facing the back of the chair.

They were in a very nice hotel room on the coast of Spain and the walls were thick, so Olivia felt that this was the proper time to introduce her husband to his new routine. She told him to hug the back of the chair and make sure his behind was up high enough so that she could land the paddle in the proper place.

Olivia had packed a wooden paddle that she bought specifically for the purpose of disciplining her husband.

She caressed his ass with her hand all the while explaining to him that this regular discipline was to train him to be an obedient husband and to be mindful of all things that his wife says to him. Olivia explained that she was doing this out of love and respect for him and she wanted him to accept her discipline and learn from it. He would see the benefit and be thankful for the opportunity to serve her in this way.

Jacob swallowed hard and remembered that part of the FemDom Marriage Contract that he signed two weeks ago, just before they were married. The contract was specific that his wife could discipline and punish him in whatever manner she deemed fit to build on their D/s marriage and reinforce her role as the boss.

Well, this was going to be the first real time where he is truly submissive to his new wife as she claims her right to dominate him. A right that he has recognized and agreed to.

His heart was beating fast and he was nervous about getting disciplined and worried about the pain. Could he handle it? Would he be a man and take it without any noticeable effect or would he crumble to the paddling that he was about to experience. He sure hoped that she remembered the 'loving' part when she was disciplining him.

With that she landed the first stroke to his ass. He felt the paddle impact his butt, but it didn't hurt much so he didn't make any noise or move his bum. Olivia told him that she wanted him to count the strokes and thank her after each one.

Whack, "Two, thank you Ma'am."

He was to call her 'Ma'am' when he was being disciplined.

This was the first time that Olivia had ever paddled a man's ass, so, as she got used to swinging the paddle, she also did it with more force. She wanted Jacob to know full-well at the end of the discipline session that he had been trained by his wife. She wanted his ass to hurt for a while as a reminder that she was in charge.

Whack! "Three, thank you Ma'am"

Whack! "Four, thank you Ma'am"

Whack! "Five, thank you Ma'am"

And on it went. His face was showing the pain that he was feeling with each new blow. His face was scrunched up and it took some effort for him to remember the number that she was at.

When she got about fifteen, he was starting to really hurt and groaning more with each successive blow. Jacob was breathing hard.

When she was done Olivia rubbed her hand over his ass to feel the heat of his skin created by the paddle and told him that he could get up from the chair.

Jacob stood, his face was flushed, he was sweating just a bit and breathing hard. Olivia took him in her arms, kissed him passionately on the mouth and told him how proud she was of him for taking his first discipline so well. She ran her hands over his shoulders and down his back to his ass. Jacob was hers at that moment to do with as she wanted.

Paddling Jacob's ass made Olivia extremely wet between her legs and she needed Jacob to satisfy her. She led him to the bed and told him to undress her. He took her clothes off and then she laid on the bed, spread her legs and pulled his head in to her pussy. Jacob put his mouth and tongue to work on her pussy lips and clitoris.

Olivia was so excited from disciplining Jacob that it only took a few minutes for her to have a thundering orgasm. Her second orgasm took only a few more minutes. She ran her hands through his hair and pulled her husband in as tight as she could. Jacob had to pull back occasionally to get a breath and then keep going. Thirty minutes later she had had several more orgasms, she lost count, she pulled Jacob up and told him to enter her. Jacob was as hard as a rock and ready to spurt his load of sperm into her. He had to concentrate so that he would last for as long song as possible.

Olivia was very pleased with her husband's sexual performance that day. When they finished, they were both exhausted but energized at the same time. Olivia had been transported to a sexual high by the feeling of power and control that she had over her husband. He was hers to command and hers to use for her pleasure.

She had enjoyed the feeling of her husband's cock in her vagina but that was overtaken by the ecstasy of seeing his head between her legs and his mouth hard at work to give her orgasm after delicious orgasm. Olivia knew that oral sex was going to be her favorite method of sexual release for the foreseeable future.

The other sexual high that Olivia experienced was the feeling of power that came with the ability to dictate to her husband when and how she would discipline him and how hard. She went to a place that could only be described as euphoric as she wielded the paddle and listened to Jacob's groans as he counted the number of strokes of the paddle and thanked her for each one. The D/s folks call it subspace. The outside world was blocked out and she lived in the moment. The feeling of power and control made her wet with the expectation that Jacob was hers to do with as she wished.

Jacob was unsure how he was going to adapt to being disciplined by his wife. He had agreed to it so for now he would accept her authority and remember that he signed away his ability to decide what happens in the marriage. She was the boss and he had to do whatever she ordered. He told himself that her love for him, and the wonderful sex that they shared, was worth the price of giving her control of their marriage.

They travelled around Spain and Portugal like any other newly married couple who were obviously much in love. Jacob paid complete and total attention to Olivia and it was clear that she reveled in his love and adoration. He held doors, pulled out chairs for her in restaurants and anywhere else they went. They held hands constantly and he made sure that her needs were taken care of all the time. Mind you, what he did for his wife was really no different than what any other new husband would do for a woman that he was in love with. His love for her was cemented with the idea that if he failed to meet her expectations, he was certain to feel the result of that disappointment in a vary tangible and painful way.

Jacob was disciplined by Olivia twice more while on their honeymoon. At the second discipline session Olivia stepped up the effort that she put in each of the strokes of the paddle that she used on Jacob's ass. He was noticeably hurting at the end of the session. Olivia, again, hugged him to her body and kissed him and whispered in his ear that she loved him and was proud that he was willing to bend to her and her leadership of their marriage. She took him to the bed, and they made love for several hours.

The Female Supremacist teachings stressed the importance of imprinting in Jacobs brain the link between discipline, love and wonderful, euphoric sex. The more they were linked together; the more willing Jacob was to accept discipline and Olivia's authority and rule of their marriage.

The third discipline session was just before they had to return home. The long flight home was a bit tedious since his bum was still sensitive from being paddled. Olivia noticed that Jacob got up frequently to stretch his legs and squirmed quite a bit in his seat. She smiled to herself that she had succeeded in her effort to assert her dominance.

When they got home, their lives, by necessity, returned to a degree of normalcy in that both returned to their professions by day. Olivia and Jacob went back to the routine of work and daily living. Jacob had several major projects on his schedule and Olivia was beginning another teaching term at the university.

Olivia was interested in contacting a FemDom group in Phoenix so that she could find other women that were also Female Supremacists and who dominate their husbands or boyfriends. She wanted to share her new experiences and to find out just how other couples managed female led marriages.

Olivia had several cycling events that she planned to participate in and wanted Jacob to step up his game and train harder to become more competitive. He was quite receptive to the idea and was soon training daily to improve his endurance and speed. He was also getting used to the new load of chores that Olivia expected him to do around their house.

Olivia decided to load Jacob up with household duties in a gradual phased approach. To expect him to do everything all at once would be unproductive to her plan to dominate him, so she decided to work slowly by having him do all the cooking, laundry, cleaning and food shopping one item at a time.

She did her part early on but would ask him in a very nice way if he could do this thing or that thing. She wasn't unreasonable in her requests. She didn't ask anything that other married men have not been asked to do. The devil in the detail was that after about six months Jacob was doing it all. Olivia's share of their domestic responsibly had reduced so she was enjoying herself and her chosen recreation activities.

Jacob usually got up at 5 AM and got to his daily routine. First was to provide oral sex to his wife - and really, what man doesn't like to start his day eating wonderful pussy, especially when your wife is slim, fit, gorgeous and her pussy is as smooth as her shapely bottom and has a delicious taste.

Next, he showered, made breakfast for his wife and got a bite to eat himself, got ready to go to his office, made sure that the dishwasher and washer were loaded and turned on, the house was tidy, and he had a plan for dinner. Then it was off to work, and he normally put in a full day there, and then off to the gym for a quick workout or out cycling with Olivia.
By the time he got home it was about 7 PM and then he made dinner for them and cleaned up. His evenings were spent attending to Olivia's needs which often included time spent giving her a massage or pampering her in some way. In amongst that he took care of the housekeeping chores, laundry and anything else that must be done before his shower then another round of oral sex. A couple of times a week he was invited to put his cock in her pussy to have an orgasm. It was always fantastic to cum inside her pussy. That made it all worth it. Jacob loved his beautiful wife.

A year into their marriage, things were going well. Olivia kept to the weekly schedule of discipline sessions and every time they had great sex after. She was very aware that she had to reward her husband if she was to keep him fully committed to a female led marriage. There had to be something in it for him too. She knew that, but she also knew that over time he was coming around to fully accepting his role in the marriage. Olivia made the decisions at home and Jacob was fully committed to his wife and her rule of him and their marriage.

Jacob wanted to be a father and he frequently thought that it was a good time for them to become parents, for their family to expand. But Olivia was taking the birth control pill every day and the few times that they did discuss having a child she told him that she was not yet fully ready for that. She told him that she would consider it and let him know when it was a good time to think about children. Right now, she was not entirely sure when she would want children. Jacob quietly thought to himself that if they were to have children that they should not wait too long. Olivia was in the prime child-bearing years and Jacob was ready to have a family. He believed that he would make a great father. Olivia believed that as a Female Supremacist she was not going to permit pressure about children and would make the decision about when she would have a family. She would let Jacob know when it was time.

And so, their lives went on. Jacob continued to receive his weekly discipline sessions. Olivia increased the intensity and number of the strokes to his ass and legs. She added a leather strap along with the paddle that she started with. Jacob experienced increasing pain and suffering, but each time she praised him in his ability to take his discipline and he was learning to be a better husband. She professed her love of him and would hug him, kiss him passionately and caress his ass with her hand and massage skin cream into his bruised and wounded flesh. They would make love after almost every time.

There was only one time in the first year of their marriage when Jacob was punished by his wife.

It was because of a social event at the Women's Studies department of the university that she had planned for them to attend and he made the mistake of complaining to her that he did not have the time, what with all the household chores to do, he was under pressure to keep on top of his work and make sure that all of her needs were met.

He didn't like the social events at the university where she taught and especially some of the women in Women's Studies department. He thought they were just angry lesbians who took great pleasure in blaming everything wrong with their lives, and everything else buggered up on planet, on men. When Jacob balked about going, he was met with an immediate order from his wife to strip and get ready to be punished.

He had never been punished by her before but had received weekly discipline sessions with the paddle and the leather strap. That strap hurt when she applied it to his rear and legs. So, he figured that she might add extra strokes to the strap. He could handle it.

Jacob did as he was ordered and took off all his clothing and assumed the position on the punishment bench. Olivia went into great length to tell him that he was being punished for being disobedient and that it was going to hurt much more than his normal weekly discipline. He could hear the swish of something in the air as Olivia was waving it about. He realized that it was a birch rod; then his fear level went up fast. He had never been disciplined with a birch rod and he was not looking forward to that at all.

"This is going to hurt me as much as it will hurt you Dear, but you must learn that you cannot disobey me, ever."

With that she began.

Swish-Crack! Oh my Jesus, that hurt a lot!

Jacob shouted a loud and pained "Ahhhh, One, thank you Ma'am," there was a brief pause and then Swish-Crack, "Ahhhh, Two, thank you Ma'am."

It went on for twenty strokes of the birch rod.

Jacob was in tears and could barely speak to count out the number of times he was hit. His face was beet red, snot running from his nose, saliva from his mouth and tears flowing steadily from his eyes. The pain from the birch rod was unbearable.

When it was over, she told him to stand and put his hands behind his back. Olivia lectured her husband about obedience to her rule and then she praised him for taking his punishment bravely. When she asked him if he had learned his lesson, he was quick to respond, "Yes Ma'am."

Olivia sent her husband to the shower to get cleaned up then she told him to lay face-down on the bed and she applied a numbing antibiotic cream to the wounds on his ass. Jacob's ass was criss-crossed with red stripes and the skin looked broken in two places where the birch rod had landed more that once. After, he dressed they went to the university cocktail party.

Jacob was silent all night, speaking only when he was spoken to. He made sure that Olivia had a drink and got finger-foods and did his normal husband duty to her. His mind was a million miles away as he realized that the FemDom Marriage Contract had greater implications for his life than he had realized. He made a note to pull it out that night to reread it and make sure that he hoisted in what it really meant.

Jacob's level of obedience went up quickly in the days following that punishment. He was moving around the house with a degree of urgency that he did not have before. He now called his wife 'Ma'am' all the time except when they were in the company of people that were not aware of the type of marriage that they had.

Olivia subtlety reminded him every day that her rule of the family was always with love and concern for his welfare and to increase the harmony that their marriage needed in order to be a success. That everything she did was for the benefit of them both and that she was proud of him and that their marriage was stronger because of his submission to her control.

It would be several months before the idea of babies came up again. When the discussion about babies did come up Jacob was overjoyed. He would be a father, at last.

Jacob got home on a Friday after work and was greeted by his wife who ordered him to start with oral sex that night before they would eat dinner. While Olivia was orgasming, she told her husband that she had decided about having a baby. Jacob stopped what he was doing and looked up to her face and smiled thinking that they would make a baby soon. He filled her womb with his sperm that night, he was so ready for fatherhood and wanted their relationship to move to a more equal balance. What he didn't know was that she had already made a baby.

Olivia proudly announced two weeks later that she was pregnant. Jacob was ecstatic with the news. He wanted to be a father so badly. Olivia had kept from her husband the little fact that she was fucking another man. And in her logic and thinking, why not. Jacob had agreed in the FemDom Marriage Contract that she could take a lover if she wanted and that Jacob would have no say in the matter.

What Olivia failed to remember was some aspects of basic human nature. Her beliefs as a Female Supremacist had made her blind to reality. There is a great degree of importance placed on a man passing along his genes to his children. Men will fight and die for their children. They take a dim view of their wives when they casually dismiss the importance that men place on being a father.

Not all men want to be fathers or are suited to be fathers. Jacob was ready to be a father and wanted to be a father. In his mind he believed that once Olivia was pregnant, she would want to live in a more traditional relationship where the wife and husband were more equal partners. He thought that was the foundation that made for a stable home and good parents. She would see the logic of the natural order of life as a family. They would love each other and raise their child together.

The time Olivia was pregnant were busy days. They got the house ready, outfitted and decorated a baby's room. They went together to pre-natal classes and read-up on all the important things that new parents needed to know.

So, eight months later the baby was born. And then Jacob's world changed as he knew it.

As the baby appeared it was quickly revealed to Jacob that he was not it's father. It seems that Olivia's lover had been the one to score that touchdown.

Jacobs head was spinning. The doctor put the baby on the mother's chest and Olivia smiled and beamed with joy. Jacob was stunned. He thought, 'why is my child black?'

Of course, he was a smart man and it took about a half a heartbeat to realize that his wife had been fucking another man and he had gotten her pregnant.

Olivia looked over at Jacob and said to him, "Look at how beautiful our new baby boy is Dear."

Jacob couldn't breathe. The air had been sucked from his lungs and his brain did not recognize the words that anyone was saying to him.

The doctor and the nurse looked on in amazement thinking that clearly this couple had some hard discussions in their future.

Jacob was dizzy and needed to get some air and a drink of water to avoid passing out.

Two days later Olivia and Jacob brought her baby home.

Olivia quietly explained to her husband that yes, she had taken a lover. She had the right to do that since it was clearly spelled out in their marriage contract. Olivia said that she loved Jacob, he was her husband after all, but that this was her business and it was the end of the discussion. He would be the father of the child and raise it to be his and that was her final decision. Jacobs name was on the birth certificate as the father.

To say that Jacob was emotionally crushed was an understatement. This was not 'loving' female domination. This was betrayal beyond anything that he could imagine. He needed to think about what he was going to do. He needed to think and needed to do it quickly.

Three days later Jacob contacted his lawyer. He explained his situation and the lifestyle that he and his wife had been living and gave him a copy of the marriage contract that he had agreed to. His lawyer read it over carefully and then turned to Jacob and tore it up.

He shook his head and explained that it was not a legal contract, not even a pre-nuptial contract that many couples might create before they marry. Prenups usually lay out rights and responsibilities regarding property and wealth that the wife and husband had coming into the marriage and what they will take if they leave the marriage. Prenups do not give either wife or husband the right to take lovers while they are married.

For Olivia to think that Jacob would not care that she was having a baby being fathered by another man, well, she was deluding herself with too much nonsense being repeated by her female supremacist heroes and others who believed that men were weak and incapable.

Every time Jacob looked at the child, he got a throbbing headache and an emptiness in his stomach. But it was not the child's fault. Children are completely innocent in these matters. Babies don't get to decide who their mothers and fathers are, they grow up and live with what they have. In his heart Jacob knew that the real father of the child had a right to know that he was a father and to be given the opportunity to be a father.

A man's legacy is expressed through his children. For Olivia to dismiss or negate that was corrosive to their marriage, and no matter what the FemDom proponents wrote, when the wife decided unilaterally to have children by some man, other than her husband, that signaled the beginning of the end of the marriage.

No marriage can ultimately withstand the effect of the woman having a baby, fathered by someone else, especially when she gets pregnant without telling her husband what her plan is.

Jacob was unsure of what to do but he knew he had to listen to what his instincts told him.

Two Months Later

Jacob's lawyer had hired a private investigator to help determine who the father of Olivia's baby was. It didn't take that long for the investigator to get the information that he was looking for and she even got photos of Olivia and the man having sex, just a few weeks after the baby was born. Olivia had left the baby with a sitter so that she could spend time with her young lover.

Jacob went to see the man and took the photos that the investigator had taken, and he took a photo of Olivia with the baby. The young man was an assistant football coach at the same university where Olivia taught. At first the young guy was hesitant to talk to Jacob; he figured that Jacob might have tracked him down to beat the shit out of him for fucking his wife and getting her pregnant, but Olivia had told him that it was her decision, not her husbands, and she made the decision to have sex with anyone that she wanted to have sex with. Now he wasn't so sure that Olivia hadn't lied to him.

His name was Jeffrey. He was about 25 years old, tall, very fit, and handsome in a very masculine way. They had a good if not somewhat guarded conversation. Jacob told Jeffrey that he was the father of Olivia's baby. Jacob was careful to not tell him his bigger plan because he was afraid that the young man would share too much with Olivia the next time they got together for sex.

Jacob gave a photo of the baby to Jeffrey. "This is your son. Have you been able to hold your son yet?"

Jeffrey was very nervous as he looked at the photo and answered. "No, she hasn't brought the kid with her when we meet. I thought that it was your kid. She didn't tell me anything to let me know that the kid is mine. Fuck!"

Jacob could see that Jeffrey was visibly upset that Olivia had not shared with him that he was the father of her baby. His mind was going a thousand miles a minute trying to figure out what all this meant for him.

"What is it that you want from me?"

Jacob answered. "Right now, I don't want anything from you. I figured that you were owed the courtesy of knowing that you have a son. I can't speak for Olivia, so I won't. I'm not sure what is going through her mind."

"Are you dumping her?"

"I don't know Jeffrey; I have to figure that out. I'm sure that eventually you'll find out. You have a nice day pal."

Jacob left and went to a coffee shop near his office to sit and think. One of his co-workers, Kelly, saw him and stopped and asked if he was alright. "Jacob, are you okay? You look you're a million miles away."

Jacob snapped out of his temporary stupor, shook his head, and looked at Kelly. She had sat down with him.

"Hi Kel, yeah sorry, I'm trying to figure some shit out and haven't got a clue what to do."

"It isn't that government account is it? They haven't given us any goals or objectives yet but expect us to work miracles."

"No, it's not that, it's more personal."

Kelly was mystified with his comment. She knew that Olivia just had a baby a few months ago. "Is everything okay at home, is the baby fine, is it something about Olivia?" Kelly was concerned that Olivia might have post-partum depression; it was a common issue for women and was serious stuff.

Jacob responded, "Ah, you know, we're getting used to having a baby in the house. A baby is a lot of work."

Kelly realized that Jacob had not even shown folks at the office a photo of his new son. "I haven't even seen a picture of the baby Jacob; can I see one?"

Jacob knew that eventually the secret of the child's parentage would be out and that he would have to deal with it. Maybe now was as good a time as any. After all, Kelly was a close work associate, and really a friend, and if he couldn't share this with her, who could he share it with. He pulled out his cellphone and opened a picture of the baby and passed it to her.

Kelly took the phone and looked at the picture of the baby being held by Olivia. The expression on her face was one of shock and surprise. Her eyes got wide and her mouth formed a circle as she breathed in and held it.

"Oh, Oh my."

Kelly looked at the picture again and then handed back the phone to Jacob.

"Oh my Jesus, Jacob. Did you know?"

Jacob shook his head back and forth. "Not until the baby was born. I thought that I was the father."

"What are you going to do? I mean, are you going to stay with Olivia and raise the child?"

"I don't know what the hell to do. Do I stay and be the child's father, or do I go? I'm really hurt that Olivia has been having...sex...with other men."

He had paused to take a sip of his coffee, "I found the father of her child, you know. A guy that works at the university that she teaches at. I just went to see him and told him that he has a kid. He didn't know"

Jacob and Kelly spent three hours talking through several options for Jacob and what he might do to come to some possible solution that he could live with. He left the coffee shop feeling better now that he had been able to talk it through with someone. Kelly was a good listener. She was able to give Jacob another person's perspective.

From Kelly's point of view, Olivia had done something unforgivable and didn't deserve a man as good as Jacob. But in the end, it was Jacob that had to be one to live with the outcome.

Before he went home Jacob went for a walk around the neighborhood where he lived and thought about what he wanted for his life and where things got off track in his relationship with Olivia. Was she the woman that he wanted to spend his life with?

That crazy FemDom Marriage Contract that he signed before they got married was really a screwed-up concept. That he should agree to be in such a lop-sided relationship that gave all the power to one person was...really fucked up. That's the only thing he could say about it. That and how Olivia could think so little of him that she could have a lover behind his back and then...and then, steal his right to father the child that they wanted. Robbing him of his dignity and the humiliation of having a child with your lover was bad enough. This whole thing hurt a lot; too much to forgive.

After a couple of more hours he knew what he had to do.

The first part of his plan was the reclaiming of the control of his life. When he had married Olivia, he had agreed to give up that control; personal, financial and sexual, to her, but now, he had to take all three back. And all of them had to be done at the same time.

The first was financial. The next morning, he set up a new bank account and arranged to have his salary deposited to that account. That was easy.

The second was personal; a week later he rented an apartment close to his office and arranged to move in right away. That very night he started packing his things and moving them to his new place. It was a one bedroom and one bath, small, but it was all that he wanted for now.

Olivia was not home that night, she was out with her baby, so Jacob was able to get a good start on moving out. She didn't notice anything when she got home.

Last was the divorce documents that Olivia would be served with. Before she was formally handed the petition for divorce, he had planned to sit with her and tell her that he was divorcing her and why he was divorcing her. Jacob was a reasonable man and felt that she deserved to be told to her face why he was leaving.
Two nights later, Jacob got home from his office at the normal time. Olivia was there with her baby and was expecting Jacob to prepare dinner and take care of the child so that she could take a long hot shower and relax. She had also planned to discipline Jacob that night to get him in a better frame of mind to step up his childcare work. She had noticed that he was very tentative around the child and never picked him up and held him. She needed to fix that. So, she made a list of things that she wanted him to work on in the next weeks. She would review them before his discipline, and she would have him recite them to her after the discipline was finished. Tonight, he would get thirty of the leather strap. That should focus his mind.

Before any of that, Jacob told her that he wanted to talk to her. "Olivia, we need to have a very serious talk about you, me and your baby."

Olivia was a smart woman, but she had also convinced herself that she was firmly in control of Jacob. She wondered what he wanted to talk about. The fact that he used her name at home instead of the customary 'Ma'am' caused her to pause very briefly. That and he referred to the child as 'your baby,' not our baby.

"Olivia, there is no way to say this but other than to get right to the point. When you decided to have a baby fathered by someone else you hurt me very deeply."

Olivia cut him off. "Jacob, you agreed when we got married that it was my sole decision to take other lovers, well I did, so it's not up to you, it's up to me."

Jacob interrupted her this time, "There was no mention in your FemDom Marriage Contract that you would have children fathered by some other man. You know, I did some investigating and found the guy who is your baby's father. I went to see him, and I talked to him."

Olivia had a shocked expression on her face. She didn't think that Jacob would defy her.

"He wants to see his baby. I guess you didn't take his baby with you when you met him for sex the last three times."

Olivia was even more shocked that he knew about her sexual activities separate from Jacob.

"So, since it is clear to me that you have such little regard for my feelings, here is what is going to happen. I am going to pack and leave you. I have told my lawyer to start the paperwork for us to divorce."

Olivia didn't see that coming and was, to say the least, surprised. "What the hell are you talking about. You're not going anywhere. You're my husband." There was emphasis on the word 'my' as if she owned him.

Olivia and Jacob sat silent for a long minute. In that minute Olivia was trying to figure a plan to convince Jacob that he was better off staying. She had to control her anger at his rebellion. He had defied her and in her way of thinking this was unacceptable and had to be fixed and fixed quickly. But to do that she would have to be nice to him; at least for the time being.

"Sweetie, what's the problem? What is going on in your head? Why are you talking this nonsense? Talk to me and tell me what is wrong. I love you, Jacob. What's wrong?"

Jacob took a deep breath to compose his thoughts. "Olivia, I love you very much, but this marriage is not working out, at least not for me."

Olivia slowly responded, "Why?"

"What do you think might be the main reason Olivia? Have a look right over there. What do you see? I see another man's child. I see a betrayal. I see you relegating me to that of...well, not what I want."

Olivia was shifting her gaze from Jacob to her baby and back to Jacob. "My God, Jacob. He's just a baby. What's wrong with him?"

"Olivia, there is nothing wrong with him. The problem for me is that he is not mine. I wanted us, you and me, to make a baby, to make our family. Not you and some other man."

"But Jacob, you knew that in our female led relationship I am the one to make decisions like this. You agreed to that before we got married."

"Do you really think that I am going to be fine with your decision to get pregnant with some other man. Do you think that little of me that you don't want me to be the father of your children? If you don't want me to father your children, then why did you want to marry me at all?"

Jacob was fired up and continued on, "I can tell you why you married me. I'm so stupid that I let you convince me that this FemDom nonsense would be okay in our marriage. You were very good; I'll give you that. Making love to you was the thing that convinced me to give in and sign that stupid thing. You were good at using sex to get me to think that it was all okay. I figured that agreeing to that damned contract was just a way of letting you know that I loved you and respected you. But what you did said that you don't love me or respect me. If you did love me and respect me, you wouldn't have been fucking another man and you certainly wouldn't have decided to have his child!"

Jacob stopped and had to remember to breathe. He had worked up a sweat and sat in the chair to try and clam down.

Olivia was silent. She didn't quite know what to say. She decided to stick to the doctrine that her mentors followed; that the woman knew what the best thing for the man was. "Jacob, you know in your heart that I know what's best for us. Why are you fighting this? Why can't you accept your rightful place in our marriage?"

Jacob was stunned by her words. "Olivia, did you completely ignore everything I just said?"

"No Sweetie, I didn't, but you need to remember that I am the one that makes decisions for us."

"Olivia, why did you make the decision to get pregnant by Jeffrey?"

Olivia was silent. She was clearly trying to think of a way to justify her actions.

Jacob jumped in before she could say anything. "I can tell you why. I know why you did it. You believed that you could do anything you wanted. You believed that you did not have to talk to me about anything. You believed that what I wanted was not important to you and to our marriage. You believed that your needs came first and that I didn't really matter. That's what I think. The other thing that you needed was to have more than one man being your sexual toy. Did you paddle Jeffrey's ass like you do mine? I don't think you did. Thank you for telling me that I don't matter."

Jacob finished and was exhausted. He sat back and looked at the floor in front of him. He couldn't believe that the woman that he had loved and thought loved him could be so...delusional, when it came to understand his feelings. He had to leave.

Jacob stood up, left the room and went to start collecting some of his things. He was methodical in his packing and took his time to gather those things that he treasured and wanted to take with him. He thought that Olivia might want to talk about this, but it seemed that she didn't, or wouldn't. That didn't surprise him. She had promised to love him with his best interests in mind but now it seems that only Olivia's best interests are what matters. She did not say a word to him.

When he was done, he went the front door expecting she might be there, but she wasn't. Olivia was not anywhere to be seen, so he walked out, shut the door and left.

Olivia had gone out with the baby for a walk around the neighborhood to try to understand what was going on with Jacob. She was stunned by what he said and then packing to leave. Where was he going to go? When she got home, she saw that Jacob had left a torn-up copy of their FemDom Marriage Contract on the kitchen counter along with his wedding ring. She shook her head in disbelief.

Olivia figured that he would be back in few days. All he needed was some time by himself to think things through and he would see that she was right. Her belief that women were superior to men had convinced her that he would soon be back asking for her to allow him to return. She would inflict a serious punishment on him for this disobedience.

A few days later the divorce papers arrived by courier. Jacob was seeking a no-fault divorce with a division of the assets that they had. Things that they brought to the marriage they would each keep. Things that they accumulated while they were married would be divided equally. Olivia read it twice and tossed the papers across the room.

Jacob went about the process of getting on with his life. He concentrated on his work and got to the gym even more, mostly to burn off the stress. Some of the women at the gym had noticed that he was there more often and was not wearing a wedding ring.

Six months later...

Olivia didn't called him once in all that time and now Jacob wasn't at all interested in talking to her. His lawyer was having some issues getting the divorce paperwork signed by her but had scheduled a court date to push the matter and get a judge to sign off. Jacob's lawyer had asked for a paternity DNA test to show that Jacob was not the father of the child and thus not responsible for any child support costs. Olivia's lawyer balked; because her client was balking; but eventually the test was completed, and the result was confirmed. Mind you, if Olivia showed up at the court date with the child it would be a simple matter for any judge to see.

Jacob's social life started to improve; he was getting invitations to go out for drinks from some of the single women, and even a couple of the married ones, at work. His sex life was looking up.

Olivia had the challenge of motherhood without a father to help look after her baby. The real father of the baby had a new coaching job lined up in another part of the country so wasn't interested in being anywhere near Olivia or the baby. She continued to teach Women's Studies. Her plans to write a book on how successful her FemDom marriage and lifestyle was got put on hold since even she had to privately admit that it had been a failure. She needed to find the right man since clearly Jacob was not submissive enough.

Another year went by and Olivia was now fully experiencing single-motherhood and found it to be much more difficult than she had imagined. She still harbored the belief that he would soon come to his senses and ask her to take him back. When that didn't happen that challenged her core belief in the theory of female domination. Was the writing all true or was it really a load of nonsense? Her biggest mistake was to forget about the 'loving' part of the equation. And that the FemDom lifestyle is about spicing up sex in the bedroom and that all of this discipline crap is just sex foreplay.

Jacob moved on and got his life in order. He was seeing Kelly on a regular basis but had not made any commitment to her just yet. He really liked her, she was fun to be with, very feminine and she seemed to care about him.

Before Jacob would make a commitment, he wanted to make sure that he was fully convinced that any woman loved him for all the correct reasons. Not for some bizarre belief in a strange philosophy that put the value of one person above another; no, he wanted a relationship where he and the woman were equal in all things. It might not be perfect, but it was better than what he had when he was married to Olivia.

Jacob moved west to Scottsdale to run the branch office for the company. He was getting paid excellent money and overall doing very well. He was 33 now and still young enough to have a family. He rented a small but nice apartment, bought a motorcycle, continued working out at the gym to stay fit and add some muscle to his arms and chest. He gave up cycling, since it reminded him too much of his ex-wife and how she betrayed him, used him for her own purposes and tortured his ass. He even started taking flying lessons to get a pilot's license.

Kelly joined him in Scottsdale. They were not married but they got along well, and they had told each other that they loved the other. They were taking things slowly; the sex was great and he really liked the idea of a woman that he could be equals with sharing his bed. When they woke up in the morning they were usually touching in the bed and his morning erection often led to fun before they started the day.

It wasn't long before Kelly announced to Jacob that she had a surprise for him. They went out for food and it was after they ordered that she was ready to spring the news on him. Jacob thought that it was a bit odd that Kelly had just asked for water to drink, but what the heck, she was thirsty.

"I have a surprise Jacob." She reached in her bag and brought out the little white plastic stick and put it on the table in front of him.

Jacob knew instantly what it meant and the look on his face was priceless. "Holy shit! Are you pregnant?"

"That's what the two little blue lines means, you dope!" She said laughing.

Jacob jumped up to hug her. They embraced for a long time, even attracting the attention of some of their fellow diners. Jacob turned to the strangers and said. "Hey everybody, she's pregnant!"

There was instant applause from everyone in the restaurant.

Two months later they were married, just as her baby-bump was starting to be noticeable.

Olivia got off the Delta flight at the Phoenix airport. It was a short flight and she was thinking about what she was going to try to say to Jacob. She had thought about it for weeks but only now that she was there did she start to worry about the words and how she was going to say them. Her normal self-confidence was not what it used to be.

Olivia was going to see Jacob to try and get him back. She realized what she had lost when he left and she missed him very much and wanted him to come back home with her and be her husband again.

She took a cab to the giant building where Jacob worked and got out. She had the baby with her. The child was now just under two years old and had lots of curly black hair and a mouthful of teeth. As she got out, the driver helped her with the stroller and her diaper bag. She had sent her suitcase to the Marriott hotel where she was going to stay that night. She was not sure how long it might take to do what she wanted to do so she planned to stay overnight.

She went to the reception desk and asked for him. They called him to say that there was a visitor there to see him and told them her name. Jacob was stunned when they told him; he had not had any communication with Olivia, other than business through his lawyer, since they divorced. So, what the hell was she doing here, and now?

Jacob inhaled deeply and slowly let it out. He had to control his emotions and told the reception staff to please give her a seat and he would be down in a few minutes. He let her wait for a full 15 minutes to gather his composure before going down to the lobby. When he got there, he saw her sitting on a sofa with a toddler on her lap.

She looked good. She was a beautiful woman. The child that she held was growing a lot since he had last seen him. He saw the stroller and diaper bag parked next to them.

As he approached, she stood up, but he started, "Olivia, this is a surprise. What brings you to Phoenix and why have you come to see me?"

"Hello Jacob. You look very good..."

Then he held up his hand, "before you begin, come with me someplace where we can talk without being interrupted." He turned to go but had to wait for her to get the child in the stroller. They didn't speak as they went to a conference room. He held the door for her to come in and offered her a chair.

"So, Olivia, would you like to tell me why you are here?"

Olivia swallowed and tried to remember the words that she wanted to say to him but somehow her brain couldn't get them out quite in the way that she had rehearsed "Jacob I came here to try and tell you that I was wrong how I treated you when we were married. I came here to try and convince you to take me back and my child too."

I deeply regret what I did to you but I still love you very much and I came to see if there was any hope that we could reconcile and be a family."

It wasn't exactly what she had rehearsed back at home, or on the plane, but it was all she could think to say.

"Where is the father?' He said pointing at the baby.

"I'm not sure; he moved away; he got a job at a university back east."

"Are you still teaching?"

"Yes, my maternity time-off ended a few months ago."

When her baby was born, Olivia had listed Jacob as the father on the birth certificate. When the divorce was sorted out there was no child support from Jacob since he was not the father. Olivia did not contest anything; she kept the house and furniture but was required to pay a small amount to Jacob that was the increase in value of the house.

"Olivia, I don't think that it's a good idea for us to be together again. I'm not going to reconcile with you and your child. First, I can't get past the fact that you took from me one of the greatest things that every man looks forward to - being a father. This little fellow is not mine; he is yours. Second, and most importantly, I'm married. And my wife is expecting a baby in a few months; and yes, it's mine, all mine."

Olivia was floored. She wan't ready for that. She was speechless.

Jacob pulled out his wallet and took out an ultrasound picture and laid it on the table for Olivia to see. Her eyes focussed on the grainy black and white picture long enough to discern that indeed that was a picture of a baby.

With that Jacob stood up, picked up the picture and returned it to the safety of his wallet. He opened the door to the conference room as an indication that they were done. Slowly Olivia got to her feet and turned the stroller to leave. Without speaking they went to the building lobby and parted'. Olivia and the baby got in a cab.

"Go home Olivia, goodbye."

Jacob went back to his office and sat for a few minutes to collect his thoughts. He pulled out his cellphone and called home. "Kelly...."
