"Little White Lies"
(1, 2 & 3)

CHAPTER ONE - "THE FALL"

As Beth cleared the last high hurdle in the steeplechase course, Beth's horse caught its hoof on the last rung of the jump and collapsed to the ground. Beth's body was thrown to the ground like a rag doll being shot from a canon. Before her body had come to a complete stop, the medics were already beginning to grab there first aid bags and move quickly toward Beth's buckled body, but no sooner had they reach her and she was up, dusting herself off.

" Maim, are you ok" asked the tall, dark hared paramedic. "Yes, I think so ", said Beth, her hands still shaking from the shear fright of being thrown 10 yards by an animal 15 times her weight. "I think I'm just a little shaken up, that's all," said Beth as she turned her head to the right and then to the left, working out a few kinks in her neck. "Oh my god, how's my horse?" her voice filled with fear. "He's fine, just spooked him pretty bad, that's all", replied the dark hared paramedic "That's a nasty looking scrape you got there on your elbow" said the shorter, slightly balding paramedic, "why don't you let us bandage that up for you". The tall paramedic reached into his bag and pulled out a large gauze bandage and some sterilizing solution, gently he took Beth's arm and began pouring the sterilizing solution over the abrasion. "This might sting a bit", Beth made a slight grimace as the young, handsome paramedic carefully cleaned the abrasion with a plastic brush, making sure all dirt and foreign matter were removed from the scrape before applying the large gauze bandage.

"Your a lucky young lady, the last time I saw a fall like that the rider had to be taken off on a stretcher and spend the next three weeks in the hospital" said the dark hared paramedic "Who was the rider", ask Beth, "Her name was Kelly Adams, one hell of a rider, but I think she quite ridding after her accident" "What happened to her?" asked Beth? "Broke her back in three places, spend six months in a body cast that went from her chin to her hips, and another year in physical therapy" "Oh my god, that poor girl" said Beth. "I guess I really am lucky, just a little scratch on my elbow." Beth bent forward, stretching her back, confirming to herself that all was still in working order. "Are you sure your ok", asked the balding paramedic, as he examined Beth's head for any cuts or bruises, "you should really let us take you to County General and have a Doctor check you out, just to be safe"
"Thanks guys, but really, I'm fine, a hot bath and a glass of wine and I'll be good as new, besides, my husband has tickets for the Phantom of the Opera tonight."

As the two men finished checking out Beth, the taller paramedic noticed a slight swelling at the base of Beth's neck. "You have a slight bit of swelling in your upper back and lower neck, its probably just a bruise or a muscle spasm, but you might want to have your physician check it out if it doesn't go down in a day or so." Beth pressed her hand on the back of her neck and felt a small bump "I'm sure its nothing but I will keep an eye on it" She thanked the paramedics again for all there help and gave them both a hug, it was just past noon on Wednesday.

CHAPTER TWO - "THURSDAY"

The alarm clock rang loudly waking Jim out of a deep sleep brought on by a late night at the show and too many glasses of Moet White Star Champagne. Jim was Beth's husband. He was a big man, standing 6' 3" and weighing 205 pounds, he usually never had a problem getting up early for his 30-minute commute from Woodside to his job in San Jose, but this morning was more difficult than others.

After a hot shower and a cup of strong black coffee, Jim was himself again, refreshed and alert. Being careful not to wake Beth, Jim sat softly on the foot of the bed a gazed at his beautiful wife of three years. Beth's black, wavy hair was just slightly spotted with flecks of gray, but she still look less than thirty, even though her 38th birthday was only two weeks away.

Beth was in excellent shape, from her slender, well-toned thighs to her firm, size 36-D breasts, anyone could see that she worked hard at keeping herself in top physical condition. She went to aerobics no less than four days a week, lifted light weights twice a week and roller-bladed with Jim on the weekends, however her true love was horseback riding, which she did as much as possible. Jim's job with a computer company afforded Beth the luxury of not having to work, and that's the way Jim preferred it, it gave them more "time to practice that kid thing" as Jim often put it.

As Jim rose slowly off the bed, Beth awoke; her eyes still lightly covered with sleepers, for Beth had slept very soundly that night. Not moving a muscle from the time she laid her head down on the pillow till the time she was woken by Jim's 205-pound body rising off the foot of the bed. "Good morning honey" said Jim in a soft, caring voice, "Good morning" replied Beth. "How did you sleep, I noticed you didn't move an inch?
"Like a baby" said Beth, as she rolled to her left in time to catch Jim pulling on his boxer shorts over his large erection, "Oh, is Leroy having nasty thoughts this morning or is he just happy to see me?" "I think a little of both," replied Jim, slightly blushing.

"How's the arm feeling today, after your little mishap yesterday?" asked Jim in a concerned voice. Beth grinned as she held up her arm and extended it back and forth, "Its fine, see, no problem". Beth smiled to herself knowing that even though she was not able to hide her scraped elbow, she was able to convince Jim that it was her roller-blades and not her horse that caused the injury. Jim constantly expressed his concern about Beth's safety while horseback ridding. If it were up to him, he would sell the horses and buy her anything her heart desired, but he knew horses were Beth's love and passion.

Jim finished straightening his tie and came around the bed to Beth's side, giving her a goodbye kiss.
"Have a good day at work honey, and maybe if you're a good boy tonight, we can see about Leroy's needs"
"Only if you feel like it honey, first and foremost, we need to make sure that arm is taken care of"
"Oh honey, you worry about me too much, I'll be fine, now you better get going or your going to be late for work" Beth blew him a kiss as he walked out the door.

Beth heard Jim's car pull out of the driveway as she eased her 5'7" body out of bed; it was then that she realized for that the first time in their marriage, she had lied to Jim. Not only about her elbow or about how it happened, but about her pain, which now reflected the horrible tumble she took less than 24 hours earlier.

CHAPTER THREE - "THE SHOWER"

As the warm water from the shower cascade over Beth's erect nipples, she felt warm inside and her thoughts went to Jim and how she had deceived him. They had always been honest with each other, even to the point of telling each other their secret fantasies, and then fulfilling them.

Beth's fantasy was to make love in public places or anywhere they had the possibility of getting caught, she especially loved to fool around in restaurants and hotel elevators. Beth's ultimate fantasy was to get dressed up in her black, slinky evening gown, crotchless black panty hose and 4" high heels. Jim would be in his black tuxedo, bow tie and thong underwear. From there they would go to a one of San Francisco's finest Hotel restaurants, have a flirtatious dinner which included Beth flashing Jim under the table putting his hands between her warm, sensuous thighs, and massaging her clitoris until she was with in seconds of orgasm. After dinner they would sneak into the elevator and make love against the sterile wall of the elevator, again and again.

Jim's fantasy was two fold, he loved to tie Beth's arm and legs up to the bedposts and then place a large, red ball gag in her mouth. After leaving her like that for 15minutes or so, he would began to massage her large breasts, gently caressing her nipples until she was wet and excited. He then would insert the tip of his penis in her just enough to tease her. After ten or so minutes, he would thrust it deep inside her and cum for what seemed like hours. Jim's other fantasy was unknown to Beth, he would often tell her that he had another fantasy, but would never tell her exactly what it was. This drove Beth crazy, but she did not want to force it out of him, she always knew he would tell her in his own time.

A slight change in the water temperature snapped Beth back into reality and as she rinsed the remaining shampoo out of her hair. She noticed that the swelling in her neck had now gone from a small bump to a large area that extended from the middle of her neck down between her shoulder blades. She also had a lot of pain when she tried to turn her head, her first thought was not how soon she could get in to see her doctor, but how or if she should continue to hide this from Jim.

It was 6: 30 when Beth heard Jim's car pull up the driveway, she had just finished warming up last night's leftovers. Beth was an excellent cook and normally spoiled Jim, but tonight he was going to have to settle for warmed up lasagna. Beth had spend most of the day laying down on the couch with a cold pack on her neck, thinking about what she was going to tell Jim. She knew that if she told him the truth, he would insist on selling the horses. If she said nothing about the fall, maybe he would not noticed the lack of movement and the swelling in her neck, and all would be better in a few days. Besides, Jim would be too concerned with her arm to notice anything else.

By the time Jim had put his key in the front door, Beth had figured out her plan, she would say nothing to Jim, serve dinner as usual and try to get to bed early. If Jim mentioned anything about her stiff neck, she would say that she must have pulled something at the gym earlier in the day. Tomorrow, she would call her Doctor to see if she could get an appointment, get some painkillers, and, in a few days, all the pain would be gone and everything would be back to normal. Just a little white lie, Beth thought to herself.

"Hi Honey, how was work?"
"Good" replied Jim
"I finally closed that IBM deal I have been working on the last year, it's going to mean a lot of money for us in commission"
"Oh honey, that's great, maybe we can finally go on the trip to England we have been talking about"
"I think we probably can," said Jim, smiling.
"How's the arm feel today?"
"A little sore, but not too bad, I was able to go to the gym today a lift some light weights"
"Are you sure that's was such a good idea?"
"Jim, you worry about me much too much, now sit down and dig into this lasagna" As Jim sat down he gently kissed Beth on the cheek and carefully massaged her injured arm.
"You think you could see fit to service Leroy tonight? Ask Jim with a strange grin. A grin he only gets when he wants to tie Beth up.
"I think we might be able to work something out, just one request, nothing kinky tonight, I don't think my arm can take it, OK?"
"OK" replied Jim,
"But only if you feel up to it"

At nine o'clock, Jim and Beth snuck off to the bedroom to make love, even though Beth was in a lot of pain, she refused to show it as Jim continued to excite her again and again until the wee hours of the night.
