A few years ago I was approached by Penelope who was after a small field to keep her pony on. She knew I let some one else keep their horse on my farm but possibly not that they were an old friend, I think the current term is friend with benefits.
I'd known my friend Debbie since school, I'd been happy to let her have the use of a small field which had become too small to be economically viable. One down side of modern farming is that the machinery we use is a little awkward in confined spaces. Like I said I was happy for her to have the field for next to nothing and even happier when our relationship became even more mutually beneficial.
But back to Penelope. She was a little on the pushy side, especially when she knew I had several small fields which weren't being used productively. She was asking all sorts of questions with regard to Debbie's field and seemed to know how much Debbie paid in rent. I pointed out that Debbie had been renting the field for years but secretly I was a little put out that Debbie had obviously told her how much she paid.
To get rid of Penelope I eventually agreed to let her have one of my vacant fields but I pointed out she would have to pay a lot more than Debbie did. I mentioned the price I wanted which made Penelope pull a face. It was more than she could afford she told me, to which I replied that I was sorry about that.
'How about we have the same arrangement you and Debbie have?' Not sure exactly what she meant by that I said, Sorry?
'What if I had sex with you, say twice a month and paid half what you ask?'
Wow, did I say Penelope was pushy? I've not really said anything about her have I. Briefly she was mid forties starting to fill out a little, quite smartly dressed. Ok looking chest and a twinkle in her eye alluding to hidden depths. If I had been out on the pull she was easily a woman I would be interested in sleeping with. I took my time to think about my reply, the business man in me had been roused from his slumbers.
'How about sex once a week and two thirds what I've asked for?
'I can't afford any more than half... what if I sleep with you once a week and assure you that it'd be no holes barred, rough as you like sex? I've dated farmers before, I now what you lot are like.'
That as they say was an offer too good to pass up, but as I said the business man in me had been aroused. 'That sounds like a deal I might be interested in. Sleep with me first, if we get on ok then you have yourself a deal.'
And that is exactly what happened. Penelope came around to my place the next evening at nine. It was quite a surreal experience really, I mean if it were a date, there'd be a level of uncertainty, will she won't she. But it was as if we'd been together for ages. We chatted over a coffee, watched a sitcom and retired about half ten. I used the bathroom first then warmed my bed while she had a shower. She emerged from the bathroom wearing a towel which she unselfconsciously removed before climbing into bed with me.
We had sex which for a first outing wasn't that bad. I didn't take up her offer of 'no holes bared' sex, being happy to save something for next week, or maybe the week after. We both slept well and parted the next morning both happy with the arrangement.
Debbie popped around that evening and sly asked if I'd enjoyed myself last night. She obviously knew Penelope had stayed which meant she was in on the deal. I half wondered if I'd been set up but realised it didn't matter if I had. I had wondered what Debbie's reaction to me having a regular sleeping partner would be, but realised as she had been instrumental in setting it up, she obviously didn't mind. I smiled and told her it'd been ok.
I didn't complain when Debbie said she could stay the night if I wanted some company. Later in bed after we'd ground to a sweaty standstill I couldn't help but consider myself just a little bit lucky to be sleeping with two equally energetic and attractive women. Not only that, attractive women who knew about the other. I'd be the first to call me a jammy bastard if I was someone else.
