Dee was bored. Her husband was out of town for several days, camping with his friends, and she had the next two days off from work, but she hadn't really found anything to do with her time yet, so she had puttered around the house all morning, and now she was going shopping. There wasn't anything she truly needed to buy, but it gave her something to do.
As she drove, she heard a singer on the radio whispering, "I want you so bad," and she realized that besides being bored, she was also horny. Her husband didn't seem to notice her often anymore, and their sex life had been reduced to a quickie once a week or so. Her right hand dragged across the crotch of her jeans as she drove, and she promised herself that she'd take a leisurely bath later, and see if she could relieve some of her sexual tension by taking matters into her own hands.
Still lightly playing with herself, and humming along with the sexy music, she guided the car onto Old Stage Road. This was her usual route to the mall, since it was quicker and had less traffic than the main highway. Old Stage Road also ran along Ormand Park, which was lush and beautiful in the late spring sunshine, and she smiled as she enjoyed the fresh scent of lilac drifting in as she drove.
An unexpected humming startled her mind back to reality, and she quickly turned the radio down. The hum grew louder, and she felt a light jiggling of the car. With a groan, she realized that something was wrong with the car, and she glided onto to shoulder and pulled the car to a stop. She turned off the engine and got out to look her car over. Sure enough, the left front tire was flat. Dee cussed under her breath and realized her day had just taken a turn for the worse. She had changed a flat tire once before, and was confident she could get it done, but it was going to spoil her afternoon. She was glad to be dressed casually in jeans and a light cotton blouse. As she opened the trunk to get out to jack, she smirked when she remembered she wasn't wearing panties or a bra. She suspected that the guys at the tire shop might give her a discount later, if they liked what they saw.
Standing behind her car, with the trunk open, she decided to have a smoke before getting busy on the car, so she lit up and leaned against the fender, watching the birds darting around in the nearby trees. She then noticed a young man as he jogged along a trail in the park, about a quarter of a mile away. As he jogged along the trail, it intersected with the road, and he ended up jogging toward her on the shoulder. She expected him to run by, but he slowed to a stop .
"Hi," he said, "Need a hand with anything?"
Surprised, she answered, "Yes, I mean, no, it's just a flat tire. I can handle it."
"I don't doubt that, but I'm happy to help, and it's easier with two sets of hands anyway, right?" he asked, smiling at her. Dee noticed that the jogger was maybe a touch older than she first thought. She guessed him to be around 40, roughly the same age as herself. And she also noticed that he looked very fit in his running shorts and tank. She decided a little diversion would be nice, and might give her a fresh image to think about later after her bath.
"OK, thanks!" she replied, "My name's Dee, by the way."
"Hi, I'm Rich," he said, and shook her hand while looking directly into her eyes. She felt a tingle of excitement. Something about his gaze seemed flirty, even though his words were innocent. "OK, let's get this show on the road," he stated, and started pulling the jack and spare "donut" tire from the trunk. In a few moments, he had the jack positioned under the frame, and was lifting the car up slowly. Dee knelt next to him, noticing the light sheen of sweat on his body. She was glad that she was wearing her favorite perfume, because this guy was making her quite interested!
As he worked, they made small talk. Dee said that she was simply going shopping at the mall, and Rich explained that he was in town for business meetings the next day, and was just taking a short jog around the park near his hotel. He also said he planned to go buy some dress clothes at the mall later, and asked Dee if she could suggest a good store for that. She said there were several good stores in the mall that he could try.
Within about ten minutes, the tire change was done, and Dee was slightly disappointed that her time with Rich would end so soon, so she offered, "Hey, thanks a million, the least I can do is buy you a sandwich. I mean, a persons gotta eat, right?"
Rich grinned at her, "Yeah, that's true, but I need to get back to my hotel, shower and then find a store."
Dee shot back, "Perfect! I have to go get a new tire, and I was planning to go to the mall anyway. So I can drop you off at the motel, and you can shower while I get a tire, then we could meet someplace in the mall."
"OK, on one condition," Rich answered, "The one favor I would ask of you is to help me pick out some business clothes that match. I'm horrible at that. So if you'll help me with that, I'll buy our meal."
"Sounds great!" Dee shot back, realizing that she just made a date to go out with a man she found quite attractive. She wondered if he felt the same. She had noticed his eyes on her more than once while he changed the tire, and he had caught her once looking at his shorts. But everything seemed outwardly innocent, so she told herself it was simply a meal of gratitude, and they were helping each other out.
As she drove Rich to his hotel, Dee explained that her day was free, because her husband was out of town, and that she welcomed the chance for some company. Rich answered that he too was married, and not in the habit of going out to eat with pretty young women, but that under the circumstances it made sense. Dee felt a shiver run through her when she realized Rich had just called her "young " and "pretty". Her husband hadn't said anything like that in many years, and it felt exciting, dangerous, and wonderful. When she dropped Rich off in front of the hotel, he touched her hand, and said, "OK, I can clean up and be at the mall in about an hour. It's an easy walk from here. Where will I find you?"
