It was around 8 p.m. when the 25-year-old Sam pulled in front of his home. He was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to see his family. His boss always forced him to work longer to finish any leftover work in the office.

He and his 26-year-old wife Lisa have two kids; four-year-old twins Oliver and Jessica. They’re both, as he describes them, little angels, but can be little devils sometimes.

Sam unlocked the front door, and as soon as he stepped in, a pair of tiny feet came running towards him. “Daddy, ” Oliver squeals as he hugs his dad.

“Hi, buddy,” Sam said, lifting Oliver. “What’re you doing out of bed? It’s late?”

“But I wanted to see you,” Oliver pouted, causing Sam to laugh. Sam loved his family more than anything, and he and his wife worked to make sure their children got the best of everything.

“Alright, now you go to bed, tomorrow we are visiting grandma and grandpa Barker. You need to wake up early tomorrow,” Sam said, closing the door behind him just as Lisa came to welcome him.

“Oli, go back to bed sweetie, your daddy is tired; don’t bother him,” Lisa said, walking over to her husband kissing him on his lips.

“Alright, buddy, let’s get you back in bed,” Sam said, heading towards the twin’s room, and Lisa followed behind. The room was one hundred percent gender-neutral, and the walls and the ceiling were baby blue and decorated with stars that would shine in the dark.  When the parents found out, they were having a boy and a girl, they made this color scheme for the room.

Sam put Oliver in his bed before kissing his head. As he was heading out of the room, a half-sleeping voice called him. “Daddy.” He turned around to see Jessica sitting on her bed, rubbing her eyes.

“Hi, princess,” Sam said, walking back towards her bed. “What woke you up?”

Jessica just shrugged. Not saying anything, Sam smiled and kissed her head. “Get back to sleep, ok?” Jessica nodded, and Sam turned his head to Oliver’s bed. “You too, Oli. I know you’re awake,” Sam said. Oliver giggled and covered himself with the blanket. For Sam, his home was more like heaven to him. He hated it when he came home so late that the children were already fast asleep.

After saying goodnight, Sam left the room heading downstairs. He was surprised to find a special dinner with a wine bottle, and it was always his wife that made a surprise like this.

“You know your boss is an asshole,” Lisa said, and Sam just nodded. He entirely agrees he wouldn’t have stayed and endured all that if the job wasn’t well-paid.

“You don’t have to tell me,” Sam said, pouring some wine for his wife and then for himself. They both sat around at the table across from each other. “At least I can have a nice dinner with Lisa,” Sam thought and smiled to himself.

“Did you get a day off to see the doctor? She said that you must see her?” Lisa asked, and Sam sighed. Lisa takes care of him very well, and he loves that about her. She’s always making sure that there are no missing details.

Last week Sam went to see a urologist because of some issues he had. Of course, he couldn’t tell his wife what his problems were, but she knew it was affecting their sexual relationship. That didn’t mean it affected their whole relationship, and Lisa was a very understanding woman leaving aside that she loves her husband so much.

Lisa was more worried about her husband’s health; he seemed to be more tired lately.   She thought it was his job at first, but Sam always looked exhausted as the days went by.

While her husband might not look like it, he had a strong will. He might look a bit more beautiful for a man, but that was one of many reasons she liked him. He was a strong man with a strong will, and he was also kind and caring.

When they had the twins, she discovered that he was very skilled with babies. She didn’t have to handle the twins alone.  Whenever Sam was around changing diapers and preparing milk for them, he did almost everything.

Even her mom would complement her about choosing the right man.

Her friends would go on for hours about how lucky she is to have such a great husband. She did feel blessed to have Sam as her husband, and she didn’t find a man as good as him before.

“Fortunately, yes. I can’t believe my boss is giving me a day off,” Sam said.

Lisa smiled and started to eat, knowing that Sam would not touch the food if she hadn’t started to eat first. “That’s a relief, and I still think he’s taking all the credit for your work, though.” Lisa hated Sam’s boss so much, and even Ms. Carter, who Lisa works for, hated him as well.

She had warned Lisa the first time she found out Sam worked for him. She told her that Sam’s boss was a pervert and it didn’t matter if it was a man or woman. Sam did know that, but the salary was too good to turn down.

Lisa didn’t know about the items Sam found in his desk drawer and under it every day. At first, Sam thought it was a prank played by one of his colleagues. First, it was just a pair of plain black panties.

Then it evolved to much wilder things. Like how Sam would find garters, stockings, and panties of all colors. Or even a pair of high heels he found under his desk, in exactly his size.

Sometimes he would find a pencil skirt and a blouse folded neatly under his desk, or sometimes it would be a business dress. Sam completely ignored all of this.  However, he started to worry when he saw a sissy porn magazine in the drawer of his desk today.

Sam was someone who only watched porn once in his life, and he felt disgusted, and seeing this magazine scared the hell out of him. He knew it was his boss, but he had no proof. He did slap Sam’s butt once, but Sam taught him a lesson in his way when he embarrassed his boss in front of everyone.

“So, when are you going to see her?” Lisa asked. She wasn’t worried about her sexual relationship with her husband as much as his health.

She didn’t know much about diseases that can cause trouble for men, but she knew that something like testicular cancer could be dangerous, like breast cancer or even worse. Losing Sam would be something she won’t be able to handle.

Sam looked her in the eyes and smiled, seeing the worry in her eyes. It was something Sam appreciated so much. “Tomorrow. I already called her clinic and booked an appointment for 1 p.m.”

Lisa weakly smiled as she was hoping for good news. As long as it was not a life-threatening situation, Lisa was sure that she and Sam would get over it quickly.

“Alright, I will go with you tomorrow,” Lisa stated. She knew it didn’t make any sense, but she didn’t like it when a woman or a man touched her husband. She was very obsessive and overprotective. In Sam’s mind, however, her being obsessive and overprotective was something he liked about Lisa. They truly loved each other.

“Lisa, you don’t have to do that. You can’t leave your job tomorrow to come with me.”

Lisa just smiled, not saying anything, and Sam knew that nothing would change her mind. They engaged in conversation throughout the dinner before deciding to go to bed, and bedtime scared Sam.

Not being able to please Lisa sexually was scaring him. He loved her so much and feared that she might leave him because of that. He knew Lisa was not like that, but he was still scared.

Sam went to take a shower to relax a bit before going to bed. He noticed his male member, which had shrunk a little by little over the past few months, was now looking even tinier.  His eyes started to well up with tears. He hasn’t been able to achieve a boner for more than a month.

Leaving the shower, Sam got dressed. Entering the bedroom, he saw Lisa lying in bed waiting for him, and Sam kissed her, and she kissed him back. Pulling out from the kiss, Lisa smiled at Sam.

“Look, Sam, I know what you’re scared of, but I will never leave you. I love you with all my heart.” Lisa looked him in the eyes as she said that. She made sure he understood that no matter what, she wouldn’t leave him.

She pulled him on the bed and climbed on top, looking him in the eyes. “You know Sam. If you were a woman, I wouldn’t mind being a lesbian.” She immediately latched onto his lips, kissing him deeply.

Since they couldn’t have sex, they ended up only making out. Still, Lisa didn’t mind at all. If she would make a list of why she’s married to Sam, satisfying her in bed would be the last thing.

Turning off the light, Sam drifted to sleep in no time. Lisa understood how exhausted Sam got from work. She had a plan, and if everything worked right, Sam would take his boss’s place. Lisa would get rid of his pervert boss for good. She would never allow anyone to mess with her family. After watching Sam’s pretty face for a while, Lisa drifted to sleep.

The Next Morning

Lisa woke up as rays of sunlight entered from the window. Looking beside her, on the bed, she didn’t find Sam. Just as she was about to get up to take a shower and make breakfast, the bedroom door opened. From the doorway, Sam walked in with a tray of breakfast in his hand.

Lisa knew that even after what she told Sam yesterday, he still wanted and tried to make it up to her. That made her love him even more. He cared so much about her emotions and didn’t want to hurt her in any way. “You know you didn’t have to do that,” Lisa said, smiling.

“What? Do I need a reason to bring breakfast to my beautiful wife?” Sam had a sly smile as he served Lisa breakfast. After all, surprising each other was nothing new.

Lisa happily ate the breakfast Sam prepared for her. Once she finished breakfast, she went to take a shower and got dressed for the day. She had messaged her boss yesterday, and since she usually didn’t take any days off, her boss immediately approved her request.

She picked up a knee-length black flare skirt, a dark blue knitted sweater, a pair of black tights, and one of her favorite brown knee-high boots. She picked up her coat and headed downstairs. They planned to visit her parents today since the kids hadn’t seen their grandparents for two weeks.

Once she was at the bottom of the stairs, she could hear the squeals and giggles of both Oliver and Jessica. She knows that Sam was playing with the kids.

Reaching the living room, she saw both Jessica and Oliver hiding behind a couch. They would try to come out to the right, and Sam would block their way. They then would try to leave from the other side, and Sam would stop them again. Sam would never waste the time he could spend playing with his children, and he always put them as his number one priority.

“Oli, Jessi, come here,” Lisa called, and both of them came running to her hugging her leg. “Go get your shoes quickly. Grandma and grandpa are waiting.”

The twins immediately ran upstairs, heading to their room. “No running on the stairs,” Sam called out.

“Sorry.” Then came the sound of the twins as they slowed down on the stairs.

“Sit down for a bit. It would be best if you caught your breath,” Lisa said, seeing Sam panting. Usually, he wouldn’t get tired this quickly, which was another thing that concerned Lisa, and being tired wouldn’t stop him from playing with his children.

“No one told me that a goddess would be visiting today,” Sam said, flirting with Lisa.

Lisa shook her head and smiled. “You always know what to say, huh?”

Sam just smiled at Lisa. She was kind, beautiful, and was very understanding. He was sure if it were any other woman, they would have left him.  On the other hand, Lisa made it clear that she wasn’t going anywhere and would always stay with him.

Soon enough, they were strapping the twins in their seats and driving to Lisa’s parents’ house. Lisa’s parents looked at Sam as their son, and Sam used to hang out with Lisa’s father and brother before his boss started to become such an asshole.

He didn’t know that his boss was doing this for a reason. His boss would force himself on women in the company using an increase in salary and promotion as bait to have his way with them. The first man his boss fancied was Sam.  Sam looked pretty enough, just like his type of woman, and his boss wanted him, even if he was a man. Sam didn’t understand what was happening and stood up to his boss, embarrassing him in front of everyone. Not having Sam, he became frustrated and started to give Sam more work every day.

He kept leaving women’s items, hoping to catch Sam in the act of doing something so he could blackmail him. He didn’t care that Sam was a married straight man. Or the fact that he had two kids, and none of that mattered to him.

Sam wasn’t aware of any of that, and Lisa was the same. Sam’s boss was lucky that Lisa was not aware of any of that, or she would have destroyed him. Lisa was very obsessive when it came to Sam, and she wouldn’t let any woman that is not family touch him, leaving aside a man.

Lisa knew Sam very well; she knew that he would never betray her. He was a man that gave his family everything sometimes, and he put his family’s well-being before his own. That’s when Lisa always stepped in to carry some of the burdens from Sam’s shoulders.

They finally reached Lisa’s parents’ house. Just like they expected, Lisa’s parents were already waiting outside of the house for them. Once Sam had parked the car and unstrapped the kids, they ran to their grandparents.

After greetings, they all got inside the house. “Sam, come with me. I want to talk with you for a bit,” Lisa’s father said. His name is Hank, and even though he was 63 years old, he was healthy as a man in his thirties.

Since Sam’s dad died before he was born and he had no father figure in his life, Hank was like a father to him. He treated him as if he was his son.

Sam followed Hank into the backyard of the house. Once they stepped into the backyard, Hank turned to face Sam. “Sam, you know I had been treating you like a son, and you had been part of our family before you married Lisa.” Sam stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say or understanding why Hank was saying that.

“Now, I think you understand that if there is anything you need to talk about, something that you can’t tell Lisa, Rosa, Myranda, or Julia. Something you can’t tell a woman about, you can tell me. No secrets between us, son,” Hank said.

There was indeed something he wanted to talk about, but he didn’t know who would be able to listen to him. Sam didn’t have a father, and he couldn’t talk to Lisa about it, his mother-in-law, his mom, or sister. The only person he could speak to was Hank or Terry, Lisa’s brother. Even with Hank, it was pretty embarrassing to talk about his issues.

“To be honest, Hank, I do have something to tell you,” Sam said. He felt very relieved to have someone to talk to about his problems.

Hank smiled, walked over to Sam, and patted his shoulder. He had always liked Sam he may not look like that, but he was a strong man and had a will of iron. Sam had a soft heart and cared about Lisa’s every feeling. He treated Lisa like a queen and was the best father his children could have. “Let’s sit down and have a drink while talking, son,” Hank said, leading Sam to a table where a cooler of beer was left.

“Well, where should I start?...”
