Swimming Lessons
I woke up as Heidi was crawling into bed and looked at the clock, it was 2am. "Fell asleep on the couch again?" I asked as she crawled into bed.
"Yeah." She whispered as she snuggled up against me, pressing her ass into my groin.
Was this it? Were we finally going to have sex again? I thought to myself as my cock started to grow and I pressed back into her.
"Not tonight." She groaned, rolling onto her stomach away from me. "I just want to sleep. You have work in a few hours."
I rolled over and tried to get back to sleep, dejected as usual, willing my cock back to sleep as well. Seven months. It had been seven long months since we'd had sex, and that was Valentine's Day. Before that was our anniversary, eleven months ago. I could remember a time when we couldn't go a day without making love, now we have sex two or three times a year. I finally fell back into a restless sleep.
It had been eight years since our son, Max was born. When Heidi couldn't lose the pregnancy weight easily, she gave up. Before she got pregnant, she was 130lbs, a little chubby for 5'1", but I loved her, inside and out. She was now at 165lbs and felt that she was too fat to be attractive, so she almost never let me touch her. I tried to tell her and show her that I still loved her, but she wouldn't listen.
It didn't help that I had gone from 210lbs to 175lbs in the same time. When my son was born, I realized I wanted to be alive as long as possible, and got into shape. Burning off the extra energy from pent-up sexual frustration helped too. I was in the best shape of my life, and Heidi was in her worst.
There were little bursts of sex, sometimes once a week, but it never lasted. I had been keeping track, in the past three years, we'd had sex four times. When we did have sex I felt it was more for me than for Heidi. She would surprise me by jerking me off with lube, then positioning me to her pussy. She would fake an orgasm when I came, then go clean up, forgetting that I knew exactly what her real orgasms were like.
I started to consider a divorce. I went so far as talking to a lawyer, but couldn't go through with it. I loved Heidi, we were a great team together. I didn't think I could justify to myself that a lack of sex was enough to end what we had. I also didn't want Max to go through any of the things I went through as a child. My parents divorced when I was five, and my mom made some bad choices in men.
I became Max's activity parent. Coaching his soccer team, teaching him to ride a bike and getting one for myself to keep up, and anything else that Heidi 'couldn't do'. I tried to encourage her to join us, but she was happier with her pop and potato chips.
When COVID happened, we did ok. I'm an accountant for a well known internet retailer, so I just worked from home. Heidi had only recently gone back to work, she was working for a chemical manufacturer as a purchaser and was able to work from home as well. Max was in grade 2, so he missed the end of the year, but we had a Chromebook for him to at least get some online learning in.
Once everything started to reopen, Heidi still worked from home and I went into the office a few days a month. We weathered the pandemic better than most, and we were both appreciative of that fact.
Now that things were settling into the new normal, Heidi enrolled Max into swimming lessons. The price was higher than normal, but we assumed that it was because of less classes and a bigger spread of students in the pool, we were wrong. The evening before his first lesson, we got an email explaining that it was a one-on-one class and because of our son's level, a parent had to be present in the pool. Heidi was mortified, she didn't want to be seen by anyone in a swimsuit, but I had an important meeting with the CFO that couldn't be changed at the same time as the lesson.
When I got home, Heidi told me about the course. The parent is just there in case the child needs help, the instructor is only allowed to have contact with the child in an emergency. She told me his teacher was a nice young girl, named Megan and Heidi basically stood there in the cold water for 45 minutes. Max was a pretty good swimmer, but he had to pass his current level for us to be free of the pool ourselves. She begged me to make sure I'd make the seven remaining classes. I made sure to mark my calendar as busy for the next seven Tuesdays, and she was relieved.
When we went to Max's swimming lessons the next Tuesday, I had a good idea of what to expect. Single lines, masks mandatory inside, no change rooms until after the lesson... What I wasn't prepared for was the instructor. Max saw her as she approached and waved, I looked over to see her smile and wave back. Megan had blonde hair, with dark roots that was pulled back in a ponytail. Her face was young and beautiful; fair skin with a light sprinkling of freckles on her cheeks and nose, bright green eyes that sparkled, and full lips that every man could appreciate.
She was still wet from her last class and her long sleeved swim shirt and tight shorts clung to her body. She was full figured, but didn't look 'fat' at all, she was 5'6" tall and the definition of thick, I figured her measurements around 36D-28-36, and probably 135lbs.
I felt guilty for ogling her like a lecherous old man, and turned my attention to Max instead. She smiled as she approached. "Hi Max! Ready for your lesson?"
"Yup!" He replied enthusiastically. "This is my Dad, he's going to be in the pool with us today." He added, beaming up at me.
"Hi." I said, finally daring to look at her again. "I'm Dale." I went to extend my hand then pulled it away sheepishly. "Sorry, old habits."
"It's ok." She smiled. "I still haven't gotten used to it yet either. Follow me, we can start after you guys shower."
My eyes were glued to her ass as we followed her to the pool showers. Every step she took, her ass gave a slight jiggle and I was hypnotized. I was thankful for the quick cold rinse that helped me to focus, I was married, she was barely legal. What had gotten into me?
