I know that this is going to sound rather unfair, but I want to be honest about some of my experiences. I’ve found it odd how a new relationship with a woman can vary so much in the way it gets started. I'm thirty-seven and have gone through a long marriage which was followed by a divorce. I had eight girlfriends before that.
Sometimes I pursue a certain woman for a while, and nothing happens. Often they are not honest about their real intentions and yet they dangle sex in front of me to keep me around for various reasons that I won’t go into here. I know they don't owe me anything, but I often feel that they are not being honest with me. I'm not a saint, and I don’t like being strung along by them.
Perhaps it’s just part of the modern dating and mating game, but this lack of honesty seems to have become more common recently. Sexual attitudes have changed a lot since I left college fifteen years earlier, and not for the better.
And, yes, I know that men have been playing their own tricks since the Cro-Magnon era or some such distant epoch. Some basic trust between the genders had lessened, and now everyone seemed poised to exploit everyone else. By 1992 I had become rather cynical about the whole dating scene
The reason I’m bringing up this topic is that there is another kind of woman. The odd thing is, I won’t even be trying to date them, much less screw them. They will be coming after me and making it clear that they are absolutely ready to go. And many of them are not looking for one-night or even one-week stands. That is fine with me because there is still some need for romance in my jaded soul.
I met one such woman in June 1992 after a long dry spell. It was at a highly unlikely place for romance to bloom: an auto-driving school. My role in that organization, The Supreme Driving School, was as one of the instructors. I don’t know why this lady picked me, but she knew what she wanted and she got it.
In addition to being divorced, I was also between my usual jobs in publishing. Driving instructor jobs have a high turnover rate because let’s face it, it’s not much fun trying to teach various nervous and incompetent people how to handle an automobile. Instruction in parallel parking was one of the more unpleasant tasks involved. But at least it was at a slow speed and relatively safe. And believe me, accidents involving driving students are not uncommon.
I found that the job was very easy to get. All I had to do was go out with another guy and drive around with him for about a half-hour. I also had to pass a written test like the DMV gives, and one has to be pretty dim not to ace that particular exam.
So I found myself out there trying to teach people how to handle a motor vehicle on the roads of America. I must have had some knack for the task because it was mostly a bearable job. All of our cars were 1991 Ford Taurus sedans. These weren’t the most compact cars available but they weren’t as bulbous as the next generation which had just been released the previous fall.
There was an extra brake pedal on my side – the passenger side – but no additional steering wheel. I had to lean over and grab the regular wheel more than once to avoid a crash.
It was in such a blue Taurus that I met the woman, one of my students, who is the subject of this story. She was standing on the sidewalk in front of her house when I drove up. Her name was Meryl Reinhold and she was twenty-nine years old. Out of habit, I suppose, I made a quick assessment of her. She had the look of the girl next door who also happened to be a fairly big girl. She wasn’t really fat, but man was she round. I didn’t know how round until I saw her naked at a slightly later date.
Her reddish-brown hair was cut short so that it covered her ears although it was also rather messy. She had plastic-framed glasses. Perhaps her best facial feature was her toothy grin. She projected a genuine warmth with her smiles. Somehow I had a good feeling about her from the moment I met her.
We greeted each other and I slid over to let her in. She was wearing a white blouse which she had unbuttoned almost down to her waist. I tried to determine if she was wearing a bra or not. Considering the size of her breasts she certainly needed one. The rest of her clothes consisted of blue jeans and white sandals.
There is one more aspect of Meryl I should mention. She didn’t get very stoned, but she would take a few puffs of the evil weed before her lessons. She claimed that it helped calm her nerves. I caught a whiff of the drug when she first got in.
Smoking that stuff was a bad idea before driving lesions, but she seemed lucid enough and I didn’t call her on it that day. Probably I was just too passive to make a big deal on the issue. It certainly would have been within my job duties to do tell her not to smoke the stuff. I wish I could say that her use of marijuana helped me get into her pants by our third lesson, but she was completely straight on that day.
Meryl had already been out three times with another instructor who had just quit. I told her, “Meryl, just drive around the neighborhood for a bit so I can see how she how you are doing. Don’t go on any really busy streets yet.”
Her driving talents seemed mediocre at best, but I didn’t have to grab the wheel and I only had to use my brake pedal once. She seemed to be a bit hesitant during this excursion. I wondered how I should handle my instructions for her.
But something else was distracting me from my duties. Meryl seemed to have taken a shine to me from the very beginning just like I had with her. I thought, She's just one of those naturally voluble people. It didn’t seem that I had any qualities that could possibly be attractive to her. My divorce had put a pretty big hole in my sexual confidence.
She would often touch me on my right arm and a few times she would rub my forearm or put her hand on mine. At one point we stopped to get take-out at a fast-food restaurant. She asked me, “Paul, do you mind if we parked in the back of the lot and talked for a bit?”
“Sure Meryl, that would be fine.”
We talked about our lives. She had graduated from the state college with a degree in English a few years earlier, but she had never earned enough money to move out of her parents' house. Now she was studying graphic design at a community college in the hope that she could get a more lucrative career.
During this talk, she turned to face me, and my spidey sense told me that she wasn’t just flirting, but rather she was on the verge of making a pass at me. She kept fiddling with her open blouse and touching her bare chest in the gap. She noticed me looking at her, and she smiled during my gaze at her bare flesh.
I was suddenly aware that I had an erection, and I didn’t necessarily want one then. I was still trying to focus on my job. Maybe Meryl noticed something because she changed the topic and asked me about my divorce more than a year earlier. She said, “Do you ever miss your ex-wife?”
“Well, we had some rough times together, so I wouldn’t say I missed her.”
Meryl thought for a moment and said, “That’s not quite what I meant. What I meant was, do you miss her physically? Or to be blunt about it, do you still want her sexually?” Then she laughed at her own boldness.
Well, she had point. Getting laid regularly was one of the few advantages of a dying marriage, or at least it had been true of mine. I felt my face get warm as I blushed; I couldn’t admit anything like that to Meryl. She noticed my discomfort and said, “I’m sorry Paul, I didn’t mean to embarrass you that much.”
I got back to business, “Meryl, we should get back on the road. I mean, you’re are paying Supreme for this time.”
“I know. Maybe in the future, we can talk more about . . .” For a second she was unsure about what to say next. “I mean we can talk more about intimate matters as we get to know each other better. How does that sound?”
It sounded pretty good. It wasn’t just the physical contact I missed; I was craving female companionship of any sort. And this Meryl: I was already getting a sense of her sweetness and good nature. We’ll see how this goes. Maybe if this girl makes a play for me, I should accept it.
For the rest of the session we drove around and I guess I instructed her as best I could. She was a little wobbly when entering a wide boulevard. “Meryl, always check your mirrors during a move like that.”
“I know, I need to keep that in mind.”
When we finished and got back to her house, she said, “Paul, I always want you to be my instructor. Can that be arranged?”
“Yeah, if you call ahead, probably it can be worked out.”
She leaned over to kiss me and I thought it would be on the cheek. Instead, she turned my head with her hand and landed it on my lips. Just before she got out of the car, she said, “By the way, I think you’re really cute.”
When she was gone and I was driving away, I was aware of the strong desire I had for her. That night, I masturbated imagining her straddling me on the mattress. I ejaculated a thick stream upwards and it came pattering down all over me.
I still didn’t know why she would want me, but I understood that I didn’t need to know the reasons. If a woman showed interest, that was enough.

Meryl didn’t waste any time in making her play for me. For the next session a few days later, she booked an hour-and-a-half, which was longer than usual for a lesson. This time she was wearing a denim skirt that revealed her knees. I made a note of her chunky lower legs. She saw me looking at her, and she smiled. “Do you like what you’re seeing?” I had the feeling she had smoked some pot that day as she had during the previous session.
I figured I had nothing to lose by telling the truth. “Okay, Meryl, I do like what I’m seeing.”
Her grin widened, and she said, “I think you’re a really sweet guy.” I still wasn’t sure what I had done to justify that praise.
About a half-hour in, she made her move, and she moved faster than just about any other woman had ever done with me before. We were driving past a lot full of truck trailers when she said, “I’m going to drive in behind these trucks and we can park.” I didn’t get a moment to protest; she just turned into the place. She winked at me, “You do know what it means to park with a girl, don’t you?”
“Parking” had a slightly antique 1950s sound to it, but I knew what she meant. It implied sex in a car, which could be anything from a make-out session to full intercourse. Of course, I didn’t know what the actual activity would be in this case.
We were completely surrounded by truck trailers, which offered us a degree of privacy. She turned off the engine and looked at me, but not for long. In a moment, she turned towards me, lifted her skirt, and spread her legs. I looked and saw that she wasn’t wearing panties. Her crotch was shaved and I saw her slit clearly as it cleaved her plump crotch.
I’ve never been very good at coming up with quips for such situations, and my comment was rather feeble. “Meryl, you’re not wearing any panties.”
Meryl found that amusing. “But I do have a pair, right here in my purse.” She took them out to show me. They appeared to be very ordinary white underpants. Then she had her arms around me and she was kissing me. During our make-out session, I rubbed her thick thighs but I didn’t attempt to touch her pussy. She already had the answer for that.
“Paul, how about we get in the back seat and have some fun? I think you know what I mean.” I thought, Meryl, you’re paying for all of this time, but when a woman makes an offer like that, financial matters seem to be much less important. What we did in the back seat was not merely heavy petting; it was mutual masturbation. She took my cock out and stroked it while using some hand lotion to lubricate me. My right hand was deep in her cunt, fondling her clitoris and the other parts of her genitals.
