Pushover

by John Dexter (pseud.), Harry Whittington

PUSHOVER is about the marriage of Hal & Jeanne Stuart. Hal is an older man, an airline exec who has married his pretty young secretary. Jeanne is fantastic in bed; in fact she's too much, one night a session lands Hal in the hospital with a heart attack. While she waits for Hal to recuperate, Jeanne flashes back to the history of her love life. As a young stewardess she had fallen madly in love with wide-shouldered pilot Don Hansen. Don broke Jeanne's heart by marrying somebody else. Hal has saved her from heartbreak, but now Hal is out of commission. Jeanne tries to be good, but then Don Hansen comes back to town. And Don wants Jeanne again. & Jeanne's always been such a pushover. Don remembers it took about ten minutes to get Jeanne in bed the first time he met her. As Hal rests at home, Don & Jeanne meet at a motel room. Twenty years older than his wife, Hal will have to fight Don if he wants to keep her.
