It had been almost six months since her husband of ten years moved out leaving her with two kids, a house to manage, and a considerable amount of unresolved anger. Married at twenty-three, her life had an outward perfection to it. Two normal healthy kids, a nice home, and financial security, it was all cold comfort when you have a disintegrating marriage. With her husband out of her life she had an opportunity for meaningful change. Sex was constantly on her mind. Recently while the gardener was working in the yard she entered her bedroom and noticed him looking her way. Conscious of his gaze, yet ignoring him she began to undress. It was a cheap thrill for her, but she relished the daring of it. She needed a man.
Friends had fixed her up with their divorced brothers and workmates. They all proved to be duds who hadn’t moved on from their failed marriages. Like most she turned to the internet, spending hours lurking on dating sites before she finally posted a profile on Fling. There was little talk of long-term relationships there, it was about casual, fun dating and casual sex. Her profile, a head shot, and some geographic data were quite simple. She desired to meet a man over forty for all the usual reasons. She was swamped with replies.
One she kept returning to was Rodney, a great-looking Black man. His profile was a little too perfect to believe but he was great looking. Was he really a widower with an Ivy League degree, grown children and his own international business? She doubted it but she decided to be adventurous and responded with a simple “Hi.” What followed was a flurry of DMs that culminated in an hour-long FaceTime call that sealed the deal for Sally, not only was he handsome, he was intelligent and funny. They agreed to meet for dinner in Manhattan, a short train ride to Grand Central for her.
Socially liberal she had no problem dating a black man though she couldn’t shake some of her preconceived notions about their sexual prowess. That made doing what she was about to do that much more interesting and exciting. Her masturbation fantasies always involved an unrestrained sexuality, she longed to act on that reverie.
With the kids at their father’s, she spent Saturday preening and fretting over what to wear. Totally out of character, she opted for an above-the-knee skirt, sheer blouse, and a balconette bra that gave her a nice bit of cleavage, visible through the blouse. Thigh-highs and heels finished the ensemble. On the way out she decided a blazer would be appropriate for the train ride. She left the house full of sexually charged anticipation.
Ciro’s, an Italian eatery, was a short walk from Grand Central; he was waiting outside. A peck on the cheek, and a comment on how great she looked, they sat down to eat. After a glass of wine, she made the pretence of being warm and put her blazer on an empty chair. His attention was immediately drawn to her breasts. He commented on how great and sexy that look was. “Is it too daring?” she asked.
“Daring would be that blouse with no bra”, he replied. After they ordered she excused herself and went to the ladies where she removed the bra, stuffing it in her clutch. Her breasts were completely visible now, her heart was pounding when she returned to the table.
