When Tabitha was sixteen, she lost her virginity to Ralph, the head boy of her brother’s all-male school. He wasn’t particularly keen – he was quite happy rummaging around in her knickers and wasn’t expecting to get his dick inside a girl until he went to university, but she more or less insisted.
After all, they had been going out together for several months and people assumed they had done it, which was what really mattered. It was all about image, and Ralph was captain of the rugby team and had this girlfriend who most of his peers would have given their right arm to be messing around with.
But Tabitha was a red-blooded girl and she wanted to feel a cock inside her, so she engineered an evening at her parents’ house while they were out watching her brother’s embarrassingly precocious turn in the Pirates of Penzance.
Tabitha was tall and stout and at that age, stout was an okay word. She was solidly built, neither svelte nor fat. She was good at hockey and field sports like discus and javelin. Many of the boys secretly found her intimidating, but they all agreed in their teenage-bravado way that she could probably teach you a thing or two. Ralph had the physical bulk to handle her, so they were a match made in some kind of heaven.
She made all the running but allowed him to think he was in the driving seat, so when he found himself between her thighs that momentous evening he was in no doubt that he had fucked her, not the other way around. Whatever, it was a sexual experience for both of them – a somewhat unsubtle, almost bruising encounter, but it got the job done.
They lost touch when uni called, and Tabitha’s sexual career thereafter was a chequered one that alternated between being banged by boys who felt up to it and didn’t mind her lack of finesse, and those whom she had talent-spotted and dragged into her web to be given the Ralph treatment.
You would never find a boy complaining about being strong-armed into sex; they were pathetically grateful.
She dressed nicely and wasn’t afraid of wearing a skirt when she thought a boy might be tempted to put his hand up it. She looked after her hair and wore perfume, but not too much. And she kept her bits clean and fresh, because you never know when it’s going to happen. And all the time her big, pendulous breasts hung like the sign outside her personal shop that said, “Hot blooded real woman available. Knock politely and see what happens.”
At the age of twenty-five, back from university with a degree in agriculture, she had chanced upon Clive, a young man from a similar farming background and had swept him off his feet. He was a rather limp lad, not quite effeminate but with not one iota of machismo, and she had sucked him off and kept his head between her legs until he did a passable job of licking her. She had ridden him from underneath, rattling his skinny bones so that in the end he had to congratulate himself, only glad that people couldn’t see the balance of power during the performances.
It was a strange marriage, she knew, but it was comfortable enough and they had a lot in common intellectually. Physically, it soon fizzled out completely, though, and she grabbed some excitement where and when she could find it. Clive didn’t seem to mind, if indeed he noticed.
And so, at the age of fifty, she no found herself sitting at her kitchen table talking to a young male journalist about the decline of farming in the area and prospects for the future.
This young man, Bernie, was broad-shouldered and generally stocky. He was masculine, anyway, and although he didn’t know it, she intended to get some satisfaction from him.
“So where’s Clive?” he asked.
“Oh, he’s out on his tractor,” she said breezily. “Won’t be back for hours.”
Bernie had been expecting to talk to both of them and they knew that, but clearly Tabitha felt she could handle it herself.
She sat up straight at the head of the table, wearing a knee-length denim skirt and an orange sleeveless cotton top with thin shoulder straps. It showed off her freckled shoulders, of which she was quite proud, and her large, fearless breasts, which had been with her through many a robust coupling. She had smothered men with her boobs, she had given tit wanks and she had lain there while big hairy guys had masturbated on her chest, some of them a little worried that she might think it crude and undignified. Little did they know.
This Bernie character was about to have all his birthdays rolled into one – if he wanted it.
The interview took about twenty minutes, as Bernie had said it would. You’d think it would take longer, Tabitha thought, but clearly, the guy knew what he was doing, which was always a good thing, whether they were carpenters or IT experts.
He was closing his notebook and threading his biro into the steel spiral at the top as she began to adjust herself, sitting up extra straight and inviting him to enjoy the sight of all this naked flesh, albeit only neck and shoulders and arms.
