Ladder To Heaven
She answered her door and let me in, we hugged hello as usual and she explained there was a problem with a curtain in the living room and she would be done with it in a few minutes. I said it wasn't a problem and followed her into the living room. Barbara was an attractive divorcee now in her forties. She had a pretty face, a very good, slim figure and breasts that seemed a little large for her frame. We had been friends for years but despite her being so attractive, I had settled for being her friend. I was aware of her decision not to date and accepted it even though she would not explain. However, for the last couple months or so I had been having some decidedly non-platonic thoughts about her.
There was a tall step ladder set up beside the window and when Barbara started to climb up I moved to steady it for her. I stood holding the ladder with a hand on each side. Barbara was wearing white jeans that fit her thin, shapely figure very nicely without being tight. Her legs were between my arms and my head was almost the same height as Barbara's desirable derriere. Typically I would have ignored Barbara's pretty posterior and been the gentleman she seemed to appreciate but not this time. Since she was busy I took the opportunity to appreciate the lovely curves so close to my face. As I looked I wondered what kind of panties might be under those white jeans.
Before long Barbara had finished the curtain repair and was carefully climbing down the ladder. I stepped back out of her way and watched the movement of her body. When both her feet were on the floor I stepped up close behind and put my hands lightly on her upper arms. There was a moment of confusion and fear as I realized what I had done. I had rarely if ever been that close to her so there were a few moments of silence while I absorbed the situation. I had stepped so close to Barbara my body was gently pressing against her lovely ass and my face inches from her hair. Barbara had frozen in place for several seconds when she felt my touch and now turned her head and said "Mark?". My hands gently squeezed her upper arms and caressed them a little. I said "I'm sorry, Barb. You're such a lovely woman. You really are and it's gotten much harder to just be your friend." I stepped back a little then and gently ran my hands down her back then leaving one hand lightly resting on her hip and used the other to gently caress her pretty butte. It was so wonderful being able to experience her like that! I heard her say "Oh Mark!" but her tone was one of surprise but she didn't move so I continued feeling her. I looked down at her shapely little behind and slowly slid my hands up over her back to her delicate shoulders again. She turned, her face rather blank, looked up at me and said "You've always been such a gentleman, Mark, and it's meant so much to me." I smiled, touched her cheek and whispered "I don't want to be a gentleman anymore. I think it might be time for things to change between us." My face slowly moved closer to hers but she stopped me by putting her hands on my chest and quietly said "Wait...Mark, I'm not sure, I...it's been such a long time and my last experience wasn't pleasant."
I felt such a wonderful connection with her as we looked into each other's eyes! I smiled and said "Oh, Barbara, we know each other so well. "She said "Of course, but" and I interrupted saying "Barbara, I'll take very good care of you. I'll remember it's been a long time and I'll do everything I can to make it easier for you. I'll make you forget all about that other time." A small smile came to her lips and she said "It's not like that, it has deeply affected me and my life." and I whispered "Give ME a chance to deeply affect you now, Barb."
Her smile broadened and eyes sparkled and in a moment or two she raised her lovely face up toward mine. Our lips brushed together then met and moved together so softly. In a moment lips opened and tongues touched, shyly at first but not for long. my hands moved from her waist up around her slim body and pulled her closer, her arms wrapped around my neck. I slowly moved my hands down her back, until they slid over her shapely, small behind and pulled her tightly against me. She moaned and laid her face on my chest and just let me hold her. I squeezed her derriere and ran my hands over her back for a little while. I could feel her breasts against my chest and wondered if she could feel how hard I was.
I ran my hand through her fine, blonde hair until she looked up at me and could gazed into her pretty blue, deep set eyes. I smiled and whispered "It's so awesome finally being this close to you, holding you, feeling your body against me!" I brushed the hair away from her neck and began kissing it. She moaned softly. Soon I stopped and, taking her hand, walked to the couch. I let Barbara sit first and then sat down very close to her. I put my arm around her shoulders and touched her hair from behind, my eyes flitting over her face. She looked a little worried to me. I wondered how long it had been since her previous experience. I told her "It's just impossible to tell you how wonderful it is touching you, holding and kissing you after all these years." We had so much history between us and now so many deep feelings coming up. We kissed slowly, tenderly. Someone's lips were trembling, I'm not sure if it was hers or mine.
After a while I looked down at her breasts. I was so anxious to see them but the top Barbara wore was loose and disguised what lay under it. I started playing with the top button of her shirt, looked into her blue eyes and whispered "I'm dying to see more of you, Barb?" and paused. She looked unsure, maybe even frightened but finally nodded her head, yes and smiled weakly. I smiled to, put my hand on her cheek and gave her another soft kiss. My fingers moved back to the first button and undid it. I looked at her again and said "My heart is pounding!" and smiled into her eyes. She smiled warmly and kissed me. I moved my eyes from hers then and unbuttoned the next two buttons. I reached inside her shirt and ran my fingertips over the soft skin of her chest and up over her shoulder. My fingers touched her face again and we kissed.
I continued slowly with the buttons, watching as her lovely cleavage appeared and then her pretty bra. A few more buttons and I gently moved the shirt aside. "Oh Barbara!" I said. She looked amazing in the plunging bra. I pushed the shirt off her shoulders and she leaned forward to take it off. It was laid on the couch and she sat back. She looked at me so unsure...so shy it touched my heart. I smiled and whispered "Oh Barb, you're just beautiful!" I paused to just look and said "There is so much beauty in front of me right now!" I brushed the hair away and watched as my hand caressed her shoulder, down over her upper arm, slowly over her chest and the top of her breasts.
I slid my hand into her bra and around her breast caressing and squeezing it gently. She expressed her pleasure with a kind of whining moan. Her chest was rising and falling so fast. I put my arms around her and held her snugly, reached down and unfastened her bra then gently pushed her back against the couch. Oh how alluring she looked and how excited I was as I pushed the straps from her delicate shoulders. As I did her hand came up to hold the bra in place. She looked into my eyes for a few moments, smiled, then slowly pulled it away and dropped it beside us.
I took her lovely face in my hands, kissed her deeply several times and whispered "Are you still alright?" You smiled very gently, tilted her head and whispered "Yes, I'm ok." I slipped my hand under one of her breasts and very gently fondled it. "Oh my God, how wonderful you feel! Your breasts are just beautiful, Barb!" I said breathlessly. She moaned and our lips opened for each other again and again as I continued to fondle her saggy, loose breasts.
Soon I was looking down at her legs, my hand moved over the top of her thigh then slid down between them. I kissed her neck and shoulder slowly then looked at her, our faces only inches apart and asked "How far will you go with me, Barb? Will you take me to your bedroom?" She didn't say a word but paused only a few moments, got to her feet, took my hand and started upstairs. I couldn't take my eyes off her. Her erect posture, lovely slim shoulders and arms, the movement of her beautiful breasts, there was nothing in my world but her!
Barbara took me upstairs to the side of her bed and stopped. I stepped close, put my hands on her waist and whispered "We don't need to do any more if you don't want to, Barb." You smiled weakly and said "No, I... I want.... I want you to....I want us to do this." Our arms went around each other and I whispered into her ear "Oh my God, Barbara, I want you so much!" I kissed her several times as my hands roamed her naked back and sides. "You don't need to do anything you're not comfortable doing, Barb." You smiled and said "Yes, I understand."
