I wasn’t going to attend the annual neighborhood block party. It was exceptionally hot and humid, even by Florida standards. With the sun beating down and the usual amount of excessive alcohol served, it just didn’t appeal to me. Additionally, my husband Rick was looking forward to this. All the more reason for me not to go. I can’t stand being with him. Thank God we don't have children. I had intentions of going downtown to meet up with my girlfriends. The air-conditioned comfort of The Village Pub seemed more enticing.
The host of the party, Katie, called me to find out where I was. I told her that it was too hot, and I wouldn’t be attending. She spent the next five minutes convincing me, and finally said, “Don’t be anti-social. Just stop by for one cocktail. It’ll be fun.”
She wore me out. I finally agreed to come, just for one… famous last words. I slipped on a silky white thong. Looking through my closet, I found a cotton sundress with a halter-style top. It had a bare back and a thin strap that tied around my neck. It was too hot out to be restrained by a bra. This was perfect. I dressed and checked myself in a mirror. I look good, I thought. At least I could get some sun on my shoulders.
The festivities were centered only a few houses away. I arrived in no time. All of my neighbors were there, some I knew, many I didn’t. Most are a little older than me and have adult children. Without the responsibility of kids at home and being financially secure, these people enjoy partying. When I moved here six months ago, I had no idea.
Skip, Katie’s husband, fixed me a gin and tonic in what I can only describe as a bucket. It was about the size of three full drinks, ice cold and delicious. The first sip was welcome in the afternoon heat. I made the rounds socializing with some neighbors as I did justice to the bucket of booze. It was so hot in the afternoon sun that I needed to find relief in the shade.
There was a seat available at a table with an umbrella. A gentleman I recognized but didn’t know was sitting alone. I approached the table. “I’m Darlene. May I join you? I need to get out of the sun before I bake.”
“I’d love the company.”
I smiled. “I’m sorry, you look familiar to me. Have we met before?”
He seemed slightly embarrassed. “You know who I am, but you have no clue from where, do you? What a lasting impression I leave on people.”
I felt bad. “I’m sorry, I know I know you, but please, refresh my memory.”
“My name is Jim. I live over there. We’ve never formally met.” He pointed over his shoulder to the left; his house was visible from Skip and Katie’s backyard.
Then it hit me. Every morning I walk. When I pass his house, he always says ‘good morning’ when he’s outside. I’ve always been curious about him. He seemed like a nice man and I was happy that I’d finally met him.
“Jim, it is so nice to finally put a name to the face. Yes, I know who you are. I always enjoy your friendly good morning when I pass. Funny thing, I wasn’t going to come here, but Katie talked me into it. Now, I am glad I did.”
“Irony,” he said.
I looked at him puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“Well, same thing for me. I wasn’t coming here either. I was heading downtown to the cigar lounge to meet up with my friends. Katie called me and told me to stop in for a drink before I go.”
I giggled like a schoolgirl at the circumstance.
“Can I get you something to drink?”
I smiled appreciatively and said, “Sure. I’m drinking gin and tonic.”
In no time, he was back at the table with two more bucket-sized drinks of adult beverages. When he placed them on the table, I noticed that he was checking me out. This excited me. Even though it was hot out, there was a slight breeze blowing through my sundress. This made my nipples stand erect.
"Thank you. You are a gentleman. Unlike the pig I married."
With a slight smirk, he said, "Oh! Well thank you for the compliment- I think? Why do you call your husband a pig?"
For the next few minutes I unloaded, and held back no details. He sat quietly sipping his drink as he let me go on. "That fat inconsiderate prick. He is a typical Mama's boy. He needs to grow some testicles. He’s over there, the obnoxious loudmouth, making an ass of himself."
I went on, "Rick doesn't find me desirable. He hasn’t touched me in years. He prefers well-hung men. This is why I walk every morning. I want to stay fit. To top it off, he has a mean streak. He embarrasses and degrades me in front of others for no reason. He fucks men and then expects me to be sitting at home to make his dinner, do his laundry, and clean the house. But he tells me to my face how I disgust him. I’ve grown to despise him.”
I’m not sure why I confided in Jim like this. I glanced in Rick’s direction. He was in the next backyard acting like the blow-hard he usually is. I felt as if I might cry, but I held back tears.
“That is Rick.” I pointed at him.
Jim looked at me. He had a grin, yet seemed sympathetic, “I don’t know him personally, but he does have a reputation of being a real douchebag. He’s a member of my fishing club and apparently, everyone thinks he is an asshole.”
It was nice to hear those words. I was glad it wasn’t just me overreacting to someone I didn’t want to be with.
After listening to my tirade he asked, “Darlene, do want to get out of here? I’ve had enough of the block party.”
Without hesitation, I answered, “Yes!”
He suggested, “Let’s head over to my house. The air conditioning is cranking. I’ll fix you a cocktail while I change. Afterward, we can stop by your place if you want to freshen up. Then we can go bounce around downtown. We can have a few drinks and maybe get something to eat. Sound good?”
I turned my head to look at Rick. He wasn’t looking in my direction. It was obvious that he didn’t give two shits about where I was. I was fairly certain; he didn’t even know I was there. The clock on the wall was showing 3:10.
I flashed a huge grin. “I’m ready, let’s go.”
We walked to his house. No one even noticed that we left.
“Where do you go when you head downtown?” I asked
“Usually I start at Sullivan’s. It has ice-cold air conditioning, the bartenders pour healthy drinks, and has a quiet crowd. After that, I usually head to Little Corona’s for a cigar. I sit with my cronies and spend time solving the problems of the world.”
That caused me to laugh. This guy has a sense of humor, unlike the cock loving shithead I married. I was happy and my mood changed. Leaving the block party was the best thing that could have happened.
As he opened the door to his house, a burst of cold air hit us. The temperature change caused my body to be covered in goosebumps and my nipples once again hardened. I subconsciously touched them and sighed. This didn’t go unnoticed by Jim.
“What would you like to drink?”
I gave it some thought. “I’d love a light beer if you have one.”
He grabbed a Yuengling Lite from the fridge and poured it into a frosted mug.
As he handed it to me, I said half-seriously, “Oh my, how fancy. What a gentleman. Thank you for not making me drink from a can.”
“It’s my pleasure,” he responded in the same, half-serious tone. “I’m going to change then we can head over to your place.”
It had been years since a man treated me well. My sudden desire to have him was taking over my good judgment. I was quickly justifying in my mind what I was doing. Anyone who knows me was well aware that my marriage was over. Still, we had a legal bond. Being married, would Jim think less of me?
He stepped into his bedroom and stripped out of his sweat-soaked shorts and T-shirt. I quietly followed him to watch. He was standing in his boxer shorts when he noticed me. When he saw me, it was clear he had an erection that couldn’t be hidden.
I stared at his crotch. “Oh wow! I haven’t seen that reaction in a long time.”
I took two steps toward him and stopped. He reached out to my shoulders and ran his fingers along the sides of my halter. I didn’t resist and took a half step closer to him. I felt alive being with him. He reached around my neck untying the strap. His hands slowly slid the halter top down, exposing my breasts.
“Touch them,” I whispered.
My nipples were like diamonds. He softly took both into his fingers and held them, lightly pinching them, then squeezing my tits. I pushed back and continued to pull off my dress. He reciprocated, dropping his boxers to the floor. His fingers hooked into my thong, slipping it down my legs. We stood naked in front of one another. He took me into his arms. His dick was hard and beautiful. I loved the feeling as it rubbed against me.
“How could your husband not crave you?”
I held him for what seemed like several minutes. He was so masculine. I ran my fingers through the hair on his chest. His arms were like rocks, yet, he had sensitivity about him.
Focusing on my eyes he said, “Darlene, you look and feel incredible.”
It had been so long since I had intimacy in my life. Our lips met. He was a great kisser. It was long and intense. Then he let me go. He took my hand and led me to his bed. I’m naked and about to make love to a man I hardly knew. I knew him for less than an hour. I felt like a teenager on prom night.
He eased me onto my back, my legs instinctively spread wide. Suddenly, I became self-conscious. I stopped trimming my pubic hair long ago. It was a form of protest. Even though Rick cheats on me with men, he always insists on a clean-shaven pussy. Between my legs was a patch of coarse hair. Jim didn’t seem to mind. I think it aroused him.
His first reaction was to taste me. This was when I realized that my bush didn’t matter. I only experienced someone going down on me once. It was long before I was married. The guy didn't do it well, so I never really looked for it after that. Rick, in his warped mind, thought it was disgusting to go down on a woman. He had no problem sucking a man’s cock and swallowing cum. Stupid man.
Jim started to kiss my thighs. He took his time as he worked his way toward my pussy. He parted the hair and sucked my clitoris. He was teasing me, flicking it, making it erect. I moaned with satisfaction. Then he took my entire clit into his mouth, sucking it, savagely striking it with his tongue. My limbs strained as I thrashed with an explosive orgasm. My hands held his head in place. My screams were loud and I begged him to mount me.
“Darlene, you taste sweet. I could stay here all day.”
He lifted his head and kissed my body, working his way up. His mouth latched on to one nipple, sucking and kissing, and then he made sure the other wasn't ignored. It was heavenly.
As he lifted himself, he said, “My cock is throbbing.”
He knelt upright between my legs, lightly massaging my pussy. I soaked his fingers as my body prepared to accept him. Then, I threw my legs back, inviting him in without saying a word. He thrust himself into me. I gasped as the pressure built inside me.
I pulled him toward me. “You feel so good!”
Our bodies started to move in unison as we became one. He held my arms at the wrists, above my head. He dominated my body. We kissed passionately as our animal instincts took over. A slow rhythm started, causing me to build up. I lost control shaking in a frenzy. I was experiencing a burst of excitement.
I screamed, “Fuck me, I love this!”
Then, my spasm started to subside. I came back to earth, lying in a heap of exhausted sweat.
I was panting, out of breath. “That hasn’t happened in a long time.”
“It has been a while for me too. But, I’m not finished with you.”
Slowly pulling out of me, he lay next to me. His hand slid across my body, squeezing my tits. I smiled without saying anything. He could tell I was enjoying this. It was even better for me than he realized. I knew I was sticking it to my asshole husband.
As we lay there, he confessed, “You know, I watch you walk by my house every morning.”
“Really? And why is that?
He took a deep breath as if were revealing a deep-dark secret. “You’re pretty hot. When it's steamy out like today, you wear bike shorts. They are skin tight showing off your fine ass. You usually wear a colorful nylon tank top that clings to your perky tits. Sometimes, your nipples are hard and show through. I always think to myself, 'I’d do that'.”
“Really? I wish I knew that. I would have paid more attention to you.”
I felt myself blush at the thought of him noticing me when I walked. We were lying naked in his bed. He was lightly feeling my tits as we were speaking. I wondered to myself if others watched me when I walked.
He realized I blushed. “It’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You’re an extremely sexy woman.”
As he said that, I let my hand slide down and started to stroke his cock. He closed his eyes. I started to kiss his chest, working myself down his body. He guided my head to his erection. My mouth engulfed his dick. I haven’t given a blowjob in years. The last time I tried this on Rick, he fell asleep. It was in my head that I wasn't good at it.
