Once Tom had called Merilyn from the airport and asked her to pick him up. When the phone rang, John was with her, and they were making love. "Just a sec," she said to John as she stretched for the receiver. While she talked to Tom, John continued stroking her nude body.
"I'll be there in 45 minutes," she said and put down the receiver. Then they continued their lovemaking to mutual orgasm.
One day George Keeling paid a visit to John. They were both in engineering. Tom was not home that day, and Merilyn looked in on John. When she had left, George said: "There's a hole worth poking in." He looked at John: "You don't mean to tell me..." Then he said: "Do you know what they do here in the South?I mean the white men?if you cuckold them; they cut your throat, hang you and, if you're lucky, shoot you. I wouldn't take the chance."
After George Keeling left that evening, John thought about what George had said. Of course, this was risky business...
Once they had been driving together and passed people they knew. She had lain on the seat where she could not be seen and told John to step on the gas. John worried most about the children, but Merilyn did not seem to feel they were a problem. She solved that as she did other things, and thus they continued until one day when Tom came home a bit earlier than usual. In fact, they were not doing anything. Merilyn was downstairs at John's, and the children were upstairs playing. Tom knocked, and John opened the door.
Perhaps the expressions on their faces aroused Tom's suspicions that something was amiss. The next day Tom came down to John's, briefly read him the riot act and beat the crap out of him. Remembering what his friend George Keeling had told him, John felt he had gotten off lightly. He had some concern that Merilyn would be made to suffer. As it turned out, his fears were groundless. Tom was simply too much in love with Merilyn to lay a hand on her.
