Life was busy, perhaps hectic or even frenzied would be a better descriptor. With a list that kept her going from dawn till dusk and beyond that till late at night, the responsibilities of being a mother, a wife and a student kept her occupied 7 days a week, and yet, from time to time, thoughts of Jack would creep into her mind.
It would often begin early in the morning as she was getting dressed. Stopping to pick out a lacy pair of panties is all that it would take to jog her memory, thoughts of the emotion and the tension and the passion which she experienced for a brief period of time. She would slip her panties on and, for a second, she would pause, being completely aware of how they fit, how the material wrapped itself around and held her soft lips. The sheets on the bed were still warm, and they beckoned for her to lay down and spread her legs and feel the material of her panties creep into the crack between her legs, but a sense of responsibility overrode her desire to experience even a brief moment of pleasure, and she turned to pull her flannel shirt over her shoulders and then to pull on her jeans, not without taking notice, however, that just the thought had caused her body to react She could feel the crotch of her jeans pressing against a wet spot on her panties. She smiled and opened her bedroom door, prepared to take on the world another day.
A few hours into the morning, after she had prepared breakfast and saw her husband off to work and her kids off to school, she stole a few minutes to sit in the kitchen to enjoy a cup of coffee. Gazing out the window, she caught a glimpse of the house next door, the house where Jack used to live. Instantly, she thought of the day when he had asked to brush her hair.
To many, it may have sounded like a strange request, but to her, it made complete sense. She had already discovered that he was anything but a typical lover. She had learned that he seemed to relish doting on her. He enjoyed the role of being an older mentor, the math tutor that she needed at the time as she balanced all of her duties at home with a particularly challenging math class. And, in turn, she came to enjoy being a part of his world. She respected him, often asking his advice, and, at the same time, gladly responding to his request to remove her bra before showing up for tutoring sessions. She appreciated how he constantly thought about her kids, often baking them cookies. And she came to understand that, as a lover, he always thought of her first, sometimes sending her home after giving her a soft massage, and sometimes driving her to a frenzy with his tongue. And then, there was the evening that he simply asked her to kneel in front of him, facing away while he gently brushed her hair.
