Mike climbed out of the shower, toweling the water out of his hair and off his face, then heading into the bedroom to grab a pair of shorts to put on so that he could go downstairs and wait for Alice to get there with Matt. He’d been hoping that they would have the whole night together alone, to really experiment and have some fun, but it didn’t look like this was going to be the weekend. Ah, well... being a parent meant taking things as they came, and not always having things go the way you expected.
Heading downstairs, he met Barbara coming up, and kissed her with a playful light smack on the ass as she passed.
“I promise, we’ll take up where we left off,” he said. “Soon. I swear,” he finished, and she nodded. He could see the slight disappointment in her face, but he wasn’t going to let her get too depressed about it. He’d make it up to her somehow.
A few minutes after he heard the shower start upstairs, he heard a knock at the door, and went to let Alice in.
“I gave him some medicine,” Alice said. “He’ll probably sleep for quite awhile, and it feels like his fever is gone.” Mike felt the boy’s head and he was cool, and he seemed to be sleeping peacefully. He felt a small pang that he seemed to be perfectly fine, yet Alice had brought him home. He pushed it away, though, and took the boy up to his bedroom, laying him down in the bed and pulling the blankets up. The boy mumbled once, turned on his side, and went back to sleep.
Mike went back downstairs, and found Alice sitting in the living room, seemingly still worried about Matt. They’d known Alice for years, and she’d watched Matt grow up. She often said she’d be glad when she found someone to settle down with so that she could have a child, too, but with her being a few years younger, she knew she had plenty of time to make that happen. Meanwhile, she’d date here and there, she often joked, looking for Mr. Right Now if she couldn’t find Mr. Right.
“I think he’ll be fine,” Mike said. “He’s already asleep. Probably just too much excitement about getting to stay the night at Aunt Alice’s house,” Mike said, and Alice smiled. Mike noticed, not for the first time, that Alice was really pretty, and had an extremely good smile. Man, he thought to himself, I must be in the mood tonight. I’m looking at Alice and thinking she’s sexy. He heard Barbara coming downstairs, and was glad to have her there. Maybe he could get his mind somewhere besides in the gutter for a few minutes.
Barbara came into the living room, and gave Alice a hug. “He’s already asleep, and his fever’s not much,” Barbara said. “I think he’ll be fine.” Alice nodded, then stepped back, looking at Barbara’s wet hair and Mike in just his shorts.
“I can tell by the looks of you two that I interrupted something,” she said, and Mike saw her cheeks go pink. “I’m sorry if I spoiled your night, but I just thought...”
“Don’t worry about it!” Mike said, and Alice looked at him and smiled. “We’re fine. Just two old married farts trying to liven things up a bit,” he said, and Alice smiled again, glancing at Barbara.
“I won’t ask,” she said, “because I haven’t been out in about a month now, and I’m starting to feel it. I’m pretty sure hearing even a tenth of what you two were up to would cause all kinds of problems that I’d have to try to take care of alone,” Alice finished, blushing again. “I suppose I’d better get home,” she said, but didn’t turn to leave.
“You don’t have to go,” Barbara said. “Let us fix you a drink, at least. I was going to have one. Mike?”
“Sure,” he said. “I’ll have a vodka & Coke. Alice, what would you like?” Alice asked for a beer, and Barbara nodded, heading for the kitchen. Mike sat down on the couch, and Alice sat back down in the recliner across from him.
“So what’s with you not going out?” Mike asked, knowing that usually Alice didn’t have a problem finding a date. “Are you giving up men for a reason, or what?” he said, laughing.
“Nah, nothing like that,” Alice replied, also laughing. “I’ve just gotten tired of the same bar, the same guys, and the same crap. All the guys my age don’t know what to do, and the guys who are old enough to know what to do are either married or aren’t exactly my idea of handsome. If I could find a guy that was experienced enough to be good... uhm.. well, you know,” she said, ducking her head a little in embarassment, “and one that was handsome, I’d be happy. But all the really good looking men are taken,” she said, making eye contact with Mike. When she did, he realized in a slow and wondering fashion that Alice was actually hitting on him. As the realization hit, it was his turn to blush. For the first time in as long as he’d known her, he felt odd sitting across the room from Alice in nothing but a loose pair of gym shorts. He even felt a slight twitch as his cock realized that he was being hit on, and hoped that it would quit after one twitch – he knew there was no way he was going to be able to hide a hard-on.
Barbara came back into the room then, and Mike looked up gratefully. He could see her nipples were hard under the shirt she was wearing, and her breasts were moving a little which told him she didn’t have a bra on. She handed Alice the beer, and when she did, her shorts pulled tight on her ass, and he realized from the lack of lines that she didn’t have any panties on either. The thought caused another twitch, and he shifted on the couch a little and tried to get his mind back on everyday things. His session with Barbara must have really affected him more than he thought.
“So, what were you two talking about?” Barbara asked, as she moved over toward the couch.
“I was just telling your handsome husband that I wished I could find someone half as interesting as he is,” Alice said, laughing. “You are really lucky, Barbara.”
“Yes, I am,” Barbara said, sitting down on the couch. She leaned in toward Mike and kissed him, then leaned against him as she sat down. He put an arm around her, and Alice took a drink of her beer, looking at them as she did.
“As a matter of fact,” Barbara continued, “I found out how lucky tonight. Every time I think he can’t surprise me any more, he manages it. But I think the next surprise is going to be mine. Don’t you think so, Alice?” Barbara said, and looked over at her.
“Yeah, I suspect it will be,” Alice said, and Mike looked from Barbara to Alice and back, suddenly realizing that both women were looking at him, and both of them were smiling. What the hell is going on? He thought. Before he had a chance to wonder any more, Barbara stood up and walked over to where Alice was sitting. Mike looked at Alice, then again and Barbara, both of them still smiling at him.
“Ok, what’s up with the two of you?” he asked. Barbara laughed out loud, and Alice simply continued to grin. Finally Barbara looked at Alice.
