Subject: Our chat last night
I enjoyed our chat last night. Think the other guys did too, if their comments were any basis to judge by. Bet you got a lot of offers after I left the room, but hope Iâm the only one who got your email address. Sorry that your husband doesnât have much time for you anymore. You sound like a beautiful lady, and beautiful ladies should never be ignored. Wish I could do something to make you feel better (no, Iâm not asking to meet you in real life). Iâm happily married, in the same boat as your husband, and understand what he is feeling about the situation.
Chat rooms are so public (but I guess thatâs the point), so why donât you return this email with some more of your witty conversation. Iâll reply to you, you to me, and so on. Who knows, we might become good friends. At least youâll have someone to tell about your troubles, and Iâm pretty good at listening.
Looking to hear from you,
Knight
Jerilynn had clicked the envelop in her inbox, realizing this was the guy she had chatted with last night. She had been home, alone, again, while Rob was at work, again. She trusted Rob, but lately, his job had been consuming more and more of their time, and she was getting tired of putting herself to sleep with late night reruns of old âBâ movies. Their love life had gone to shit, and whenever Rob was home, he was so tired they just stayed in. She longed for a night out, away from the kids, maybe dinner, dancing, and a late nightcap in the back booth of some dark, little bar. She could take the lack of sex, although that was getting harder lately, but she needed some spice in her life. Then she had discovered the singleâs chat room.
She was always careful not to give any true information about herself, and didnât even talk much unless a person really sounded interesting. She spent much of her time, in fact, telling the horny guys she didnât do that sort of thing, and trying to nicely fend off women with desires on her bi-sexual virginity. Every once in a while, though, she found some man with interesting things to say, who was polite, and seemed to appreciate her company. She could talk for hours, too many really, but since virtual reality had to substitute for a social life, she thought, âwhat the hell do I need sleep for?â
Rob knew about her chat room sessions; they had always been up front with each other, and she had told him what she was doing. She had told him which chat room she frequented, but didnât explain that she chose âTinyRedâ as her nickname because she was, after all, only 4â11â tall, weighed 95 pounds wet from a shower, and had flaming red hair. Somehow, it didnât seem as neat now as when she had first signed on with it, but the few friends in chat she trusted knew her by that, and if she changed it she would have to start all over.
Last night, Knight had said âhiâ when she signed on, and they had a marvelous session that probably had entertained the rest of the horny guys in the room as well, but it had felt great to have a nice guy be sympathetic to her loneliness without asking for her phone number, or telling her how good she would feel riding his 12â dick. âTalk about virtual reality!â, she laughed to herself over that one, and giggled as she typed âdoubt it sugar,im tiny rememberâ. She had privately given him her email address, on a whim, and now regretted it a little.

Subject: How are you tonight
I thought about this a lot, and decided that email is probably a safe way to converse on a personal basis. I loved chatting with you, but afterwards, I realized that I said a lot of personal stuff, and I wish I hadnât. I need someone to talk to, but donât like the world to listen in, so Iâll try this for a while, and weâll see what happens.
Husband is gone, again, and Iâm here alone, again, watching old horror movies, again. Kids are tucked in, and Iâve only made two trips to settle bedtime giggles, so tonight is about average. I love my husband deeply, but honestly, I canât take much more of this. Heâs gone until all hours of the DAMNED night, working at that DAMNED office on DAMNED stuff that can never wait. Heâs told me they âde-layeredâ the organization, which he says means fewer people do more work in the same amount of time, but I guess he hasnât figured out how to be that efficient yet. Just wish we could have a quiet night out, sometime, like we used to. We used to go dancing after dinner, and end up at two in the morning in some little bar, sipping nightcaps, just talking boy/girl stuff, and kissing. Then we would go home and...well, thatâs a little too intimate for this email; letâs just say, we both felt really...ârelievedâ.
Write and tell me about your day, if you want. It must get boring listening to me bitch about my life all the time.
Thanks for listening
TinyRed
She had run the spellchecker and re-read the text four times before getting enough nerve to click âsendâ. She didnât want him thinking she was just some dumb broad looking for someone to listen to her. âStrange,â she thought, âI really am trying to impress him. Itâs almost like when Rob and I were first dating, when I wanted to come off as intelligent and sophisticated.â
They had been returning daily emails for three weeks now, and both of them had relaxed a lot. She described herself to him, leaving out the slight droop to her breasts and the little post-pregnancy tummy that would not go away (âno need to tell him all my secretsâ). She told him what city she lived in and discovered he lived nearby. She had decided that the city was big enough that he could never find her anyway. She had even told him about the little things that aroused her, things that made her crave Robâs body next to hers, things that made her want him inside her. As always, Knight replied with his polite, gentlemanly comments, saying that she sounded like a woman who was at ease with her sexuality, at ease with her body, and knew what she liked and needed. She felt better for telling him that; she always felt funny talking to Rob that way, like she was a little slutty for a wife and mother of two. Knightâs reply to that statement was that if women were a little more slutty in the bedroom, marriages would probably last longer, and the birth rate would increase exponentially. She laughed out loud when she read that one.
The next email from Knight left her sitting at the computer, her whole body tingling in fear and anticipation, and her mind reeling from the excitement of the possibilities.

Subject: My special treat for TinyRed
I donât want to insult you, or drive you to end our conversations, but I would like very much to meet you in real life. I hope you can tell, by now, that I deeply love my wife, and would never hurt either her or you, but you are such an interesting person. I would love to treat you to dinner, dancing, and that nightcap you seem to love so much. We donât have to kiss, and as for feeling...ârelievedâ, afterward, well, I would never presume so much from so nice a person as yourself. I wonât ask you to accept by email; I have reservations at Restauranteâ Vitale for eight oâclock next Monday. I shall be there, waiting; ask the hostess for âKnightâ. She will know who I am. If you decide not to accept, I will simply have a nice dinner, by myself, and then go home and email my apology to you for being so forward. If you decide to accept, I also have reservations at Bealeâs (excellent jazz, R&B, and some nice, slow, intimate dancing music, by the way), and know of a little corner bar that stays open âtil three. Please allow me to be your Knight for one night.
