Mandy was my first real girlfriend. We had been together since our mid-teens and now we were having problems. Or to be more precise, I was having a problem with her reluctance to go all the way. We would spend hours leaning against a wall at the back of her parents' house with my finger inside her until it wrinkled.
I loved the smell of her pussy juice and there were times when I wouldn't wash that hand for days so I could take a quick, beautiful sniff of her during a lesson at school or while watching TV with my family. I don't know what accounts for the intensity of the aroma in teenage girls, but it's not nearly as succulent as they get older.
Probably hormones of some sort, a young woman's body continuing the primitive tradition of letting men know she was there, she was fertile and for the sake of the human race, she was available to become pregnant and provide a new generation.
It's one of those subjects that will probably never be properly addressed by science because it's not important in the grand scheme of things, and anyway, I am happy to continue doing the practical research myself. There's a similar question as to why a vagina tastes indescribably wonderful just after the woman has had an orgasm. A fact that has probably escaped a lot of people's attention because the orgasm usually signals the end of the session and it is probably full of semen by that time.
Anyway, so Mandy and I were approaching make-your-mind-up time. All of my friends - the ones cool enough to get girls, at least - seemed to be getting the full experience and I was still sniffing my fingers.
Mandy would put her hand inside my underpants and give me a bit of a feel, but she seemed determined not to get me too revved up in case things got out of control, which of course was exectly what I wanted.
I wanted her naked, out of control on a bed with the sole intention of getting fucked, which I gathered women were perfectly capable of, despite their tendency to make you take things slowly.
There is a theory that if you want to see how a girl will turn out, just look at her mother, and I decided to give that a whirl. Mrs Hubert was short and round, with a rather large nose, but there was a lot of Mandy about her, except in one notable department: she had nice big tits while Mandy had missed out completely.
She complained that one boy had described her chest as being like two aspirins on an ironing board. That doesn't affect how sensitive they are, though, and she loved to have me suck her nipples.
Her Mum had big housewifely breasts and a substantial arse. She dressed like a housewife too, purely for comfort and practicality, with no hint of making herself look attractive for others to admire and desire. Her (second) husband, Bradley, was a nice enough guy but a bit of a dork and I could imagine that they had had sex a couple of times soon after they met, just to confirm their couple status, but then left it alone, because sex was an inconvenience that could get in the way of real life.
Some Sunday afternoons at their house they would get out the photographs and videos of family holidays, which was fun for them but boring for me. But once I had started looking at Mrs Hubert in the flesh I came to notice her in the videos too. There she was: ten years younger, on the beach in a sensible one-piece navy blue swimsuit, but I could see the tops of her breasts and the fleshy beginnings of her arse at the top of those dumpy legs.
It occurred to me that behind that drab nylon sheath lurked nipples, a navel, pubic hair and - for God's sake - a cunt. She was a fully working woman with all the assets a man could want. And even though she didn't have sex much now, at least she had had it and her vagina worked well enough to have a penis in it and she had allowed a man to shoot his seed up there.
At that deprived, ignorant, desperate point in my life, she seemed to be the answer, and I couldn't believe I hadn't thought about it before.
I began contriving to be in confined spaces with her, helping clear the table and taking the dishes into the kitchen, which was very much her domain and her husband and daughter left her to it.
She thanked me for my help and patted me on the arm, and I graduated to standing behind her and leaning up to put the salt back in the cupboard, my front touching her back in the most innocent, casual way. And then, having not been slapped or even reprimanded, I would do it with more contact, my cock against her buttocks, then sliding sideways so it slipped into the cleft that existed beneath her skirt and knickers.
Ah, her knickers! I made a point of locating the laundry basket in the master bedroom and quickly rummaging through the discarded clothes until I found a pair of sensible knickers that weren't Mandy's. I put them to my nose and inhaled, and all there was was stale piss, but it was Mrs Hubert's stale piss.
And then I assessed where her arse would be and sniffed there in the hope that they would have ridden up into her crack at some point. I imagined a faint trace of that. I had to step quickly into the toilet to deal with the boner that had appeared in my underpants, running the cold water and tryng desperately to think of something else.
