When I turned sixty-years-old, I decided to retire. I had been a lawyer for more than half my life, thirty-five years to be exact. In that time, I married and amassed a decent amount of wealth. I invested wisely, saved, and planned for the future. We lived a modest life and didn’t waste money. My husband never earned the kind of salary I did. When our marriage ended, he received more than half of my assets. It was well worth it to make him go away. I never wanted to see him again.
Now, three years later, I am working again, and I love what I am doing. I have a single client that treats me well. I am based in the state capital and live three hours away so I keep a small apartment close by. Much of what I do involves traveling and don’t spend much time in either residence. It does allow me to meet new people all the time. Occasionally, it leads to unrestrained sexual encounters, something that was missing from married life.
Yesterday, when I arrived at my office, I was asked if I could take a trip to Detroit. My schedule was clear with nothing special planned for this week so I wasn’t prepared to travel. It was going to be a brief trip, just two nights. I needed to represent my boss in a meeting with executives from one of the automakers and I would be back on Wednesday evening.
I quickly returned home, packed, and headed right to the airport. My assistant Jennifer booked me on a flight that was leaving in just ninety minutes so I had no time to waste. She printed my itinerary and I was off. Fortunately, I have TSA Pre-Check. The regular security line was long and I would have certainly missed my flight. As it was, I was the last passenger to board the plane.
Jennifer is great! She knows me well, booking me in First Class. There are no direct flights from Tallahassee so I had a stop-off in Miami. Fortunately, I didn’t have to change planes. Not bad for the last minute. Had I known about the trip before I left my home for the week, I would have had her book a nonstop out of Tampa. Oh well
She was my assistant for years before I retired. When I decided to go back to work, all it took was one phone call and within two weeks, we were a team once again. I love Jen. She is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a daughter. Even before I discovered I was bi-sexual, I always had a fantasy of the two of us hooking up. I do have a policy of ‘never shit where you eat’ so I never acted on my thoughts of her.
My seat was on the aisle, second row. The cockpit door was open and I was able to see the crew performing their pre-flight preparation. It was unusual, both pilot and co-pilot were female. In all my travels, that was a first. I found myself staring at them. The pilot was quite attractive. When I got a good look at the co-pilot, she was young and hot. My very active imagination immediately started to visualize the plane on auto-pilot and the two of them naked, having a lesbian love affair at 30,000 feet.
Before the plane pushed back from the gate, a flight attendant named Hector asked, “Would you care for a drink?”
My meeting wasn’t until the next morning. “Absolutely. What kind of Bourbon do you have?”
“For our First Class passengers, we serve Buffalo Trace.”
I smiled. “Perfect. On the rocks please.” Damn, I love First Class. A cocktail before we even leave the ground.
The cockpit door closed and Hector went through the safety and emergency procedures, seat belts, flotation device in case of a water landing, and oxygen mask, I could recite it myself. Within minutes we were in the air. As the plane leveled off, he was back with a second cocktail. I didn’t even have to ask. Flying like this makes the time pass quickly.
We had a quick turnaround in Miami and we were in the air once again. The crew remained the same. Hector came around once again offering refreshments. All I had to do was nod and Buffalo Trace appeared. As I brought the drink to my lips, I started to feel the effect of the drink. I was tired to begin with and now the 90 Proof refreshment is working like a tranquilizer.
About thirty minutes into the flight, the cockpit door opened. It was the pilot. Our eyes met, and she acknowledged me with a smile and a nod, then stepped into the small lavatory next to the service area. There goes my imagination again. I wanted her to go down on me in that little room. I squirmed in my seat and I could feel my panties getting damp.
I stood up and waited to use the lavatory next. She opened the door and we came face to face. Her uniform shirt was straining against her bra. The slight outline of her nipples was visible. I wanted to reach out and touch her but, I controlled my urge. We exchanged smiles, she went back into the cockpit and I entered the lavatory.
When I returned to my seat, Hector signaled to me, making a drinking motion with his hand, asking if I wanted another.
I gave him a thumbs up. My third bourbon appeared.
The pilot made an announcement. “We will be starting our descent into Detroit Metro Airport. The weather in Detroit is cloudy and a balmy thirty-seven degrees. We will be on the ground on time and at the gate in about twenty minutes. This Dallas-based crew wants to thank you for flying with us today.”
My cup was empty as the wheels hit the runway. After three drinks, I was feeling pretty good. When we pulled up to the gate and the door opened, I was the second person off the plane. As I was leaving, Hector opened the cockpit door.
I glanced into the cockpit and addressed the two women. “Thank you, captain, great flight.”
She turned and said, “It was our pleasure.”
I turned to Hector. “Thank you, Hector, you made this a very pleasant flight.”
The airport is not very large. It only took several minutes for me to walk to where the hotel shuttle vans pick up customers. I waited for the van to the Courtyard by Marriott just outside the airport. It was only a two-minute wait when the van pulled to the curb. The driver jumped out and opened the door for me.
“Welcome to Detroit. We have to wait a few minutes. Several more passengers are on their way.”
We sat for almost ten minutes. I was starting to become impatient. “How much longer do we have to wait?”
Just as I finished my question to the driver, the other passengers showed up. As luck would have it, it was the female pilot and co-pilot from my flight. They climbed in, the younger of the two sat next to me, and the senior officer climbed in the front passenger seat. I guess it was her way of showing she was in charge, even on the ground.
The van pulled away from the terminal. The pilot turned to me and said, “You were on our flight, weren’t you? You were the woman in First Class, right?”
“Yes, that was me.” I was surprised she recognized me.
I decided to have a friendly conversation. “A short day for both of you?”
The young woman next to me answered. “Not at all! Dallas to JFK in New York, then to Tallahassee, on to Miami, and finally here, a real milk run.”
