Cathy had lived next door to Tom and Sandra for five years. They were good neighbours and kept to themselves. Both were in their late sixties and, Cathy felt sure, still enjoying the physical side of their long marriage. Tom liked to flirt with her in a gentle way, nothing blatant, just some laughs and the occasional double entendre.
Cathy actually enjoyed the attention, having escaped from an abusive marriage; she had no intention of getting into another relationship. But, at the age of forty-five, she still had sexual needs. Her two vibrators had become her best friends. Although it somewhat embarrassed her, she found she needed to use one, or both, almost every day.
Then came the day Sandra suddenly passed away from a huge stroke. Cathy was surprised how well Tom came to terms with the loss of his wife. He spent hours in his garden, and on his computer. Cathy would pop round most days to check on him. She was pleased to see he hadn't lost the twinkle in his eye, and his appreciation of her full figure.
She could remember the moment their relationship changed forever. She had decided to take Tom a cake she had just baked. She went to his front door and rang the doorbell, but there was no answer. 'Bet the old boy is asleep in front of the television,' she thought, making her way to the back door and letting herself in.
As she walked through the kitchen towards the lounge, she was stopped in her tracks by the sounds coming from there.
“Fuck yes, harder, ram it in me, fuck me deep.”
Cathy couldn't believe her ears, the voice was, without a doubt, that of Sandra’s -- but she had been dead for six months.
Tiptoeing to the doorway, she was greeted by a sight she had never expected to see. Tom was sitting in his armchair naked, stroking a formidable cock. His eyes were glued to the television screen.
Cathy's eyes took in the whole scene in a second. Tom with his cock in his hand, and a naked Sandra on the screen, her arse in the air, being fucked from behind by a naked man, who was not Tom.
For a moment, Cathy stood rooted to the spot. Then, as she tried to back out quietly, she caught her elbow on a table lamp, sending it crashing to the floor.
“What the hell…” Tom swung round in the chair and stared at Cathy.
“Oh, Tom! Forgive me, I didn't mean to... to... sorry, have to go,” Cathy stammered as she turned and ran home, the cake still in her hands.
When her phone rang, half an hour later, Cathy knew it would be Tom.
“Cathy, can you come round? There are things I need to tell you about Sandra and me,” Tom said nervously. “I will quite understand if you say no.”
Ten minutes later, Cathy knocked on the front door. She was greeted by an embarrassed-looking Tom. “Come in, Cathy,” he mumbled and led the way into the lounge. The television was off now, and he was dressed in a pair of light slacks and a fawn jumper.
Cathy sat on the sofa and Tom settled into his armchair. His hands fingered the arm of the chair, obviously struggling how to begin.
Cathy broke the silence, “Tom, what you do in your own house is your own affair and nothing to do with me. I had no right to barge in like that. I am so sorry.”
Tom raised one hand as if to silence her. “No Cathy, it is I that should apologize for embarrassing you in that way. But ,if you will permit me, I would like to explain something to you.”
When he received no response from her ,he continued, “I am fortunate enough to have married a wonderful woman, one full of life and fun. For many years we led an open, fun-filled life. I always knew Sandra as a sexy lady and not only enjoyed that, but also encouraged her to be promiscuous, with a small group of like-minded friends. What you saw on the screen, was one of the many sessions we recorded of our liaisons. Now she has gone, all I have left are the memories of the good times, but I still have needs and use the videos to meet them. I can only say sorry again and hope you can find it in your heart to forgive an old man.”
Cathy sat listening; her mind split in response to his words. Part of her felt shocked that the respectable couple she had known for years had, in fact, been part of a swingers group. But, what embarrassed her the most was the itch that was starting inside her panties as she found herself getting turned on by the thought of the orgies that had taken place next door to her.
“Is your group still together, Tom?” she asked while she studied him more closely than she had done before. For a man in his early sixties, he was in very good shape, no belly to speak of, a shade under six foot, with salt and pepper hair. The more she tried to push the memory of him stroking his cock from her mind, the stronger the image seemed to get. “I mean, do you ever… you know, still get together?”
