It is nice, usually, to receive feedback from readers about one's stories. Not always, because some readers hate any particular story, whether it is lifelike or not. That's okay, because the notes from readers who like my stories almost always outweighs those who make negative comments.
Most readers who send negative comments do so with the most unusual username of "Anonymous" because if they left their real username, someone might just tell them how warped their comments really are. Actually I don't do that (at least, I never have so far) because I happen to think that all readers are entitled to their opinions, just as I'm entitled to write whatever my imagination leads me to write. However when someone takes the time to tell me that they enjoyed one of my stories and they give me a username or email address, I try to take the time to thank them for their input. Occasionally that has led to a lasting friendship.
Out of the blue, that is what happened when I opened one feedback message a few months back. It was from a woman who identified herself as Kerry_C. Actually her note was both a compliment for the storyline and a slight jab for changing the name of one of my characters in parts of the story - I hate when that happens!
I wrote Kerry back a note thanking her for both the compliment and the correction and stating that I hope she continues to enjoy my stories. As it turned out, that started a series of emails and then we moved to Instant Messaging. Kerry was an early thirties mother of two little children, married for eleven years. As you can imagine, she was a very busy mom but seemed to crave a little more adult talk than she was getting. I didn't ask but wondered if her hubby, who was an up-and-coming accountant, maybe was spending too much time at work and not enough on family matters. She assured me that it wasn't that so much as it was that his sex drive had begun to wane a bit and she was no longer being fully satisfied by his attentions.
She had a web cam and invited me to watch. On the times when we got together online, she often worked on one chore or another as we talked, giving me some insight into her industriousness as well as letting her finish some household items while we conversed. The thing I liked about it was that it let me see just how lovely a woman she was.
Right up front, I referred her to my online profile, which showed that I was much older than her. I could have been her father, or maybe even a second generation away by stretching things a bit, but she didn't seem to mind. She read my bio, including my handicap, and didn't turn away.
On the other hand, she was a beautiful woman. She told me that there was less of her than there had been but it didn't really matter to me. She was a curvy woman, with nice breasts and a great ass. No, she didn't show herself naked but she did show me her body encase in a T-shirt and jeans and it was easy to see that she had the body style that I really loved.
However even if she had been huge or tiny, I would have loved her because of the most fantastic smile I'd ever seen. When she smiled, it was like a light shining in the darkness. And she smiled often.
Mostly our conversations were quite innocuous. We talked about the mundane events of our lives. We talked about our families. We talked about things we liked to do as hobbies - her list was rather short for lack of time.
I found out that she lived in one of the eastern coast states, nearly 500 miles away from my home. That was a little discouraging but I did get over that way three or four times a year, usually chasing one of my hobbies. Being retired did have its benefits. Maybe that was one of them.
The longer we talked, the more intimate our conversations became. I tried to respect her situation but when she said that she was at her sexual peak and her hubby was past his, I couldn't help but be drawn even closer to her. She said that they still had sex but it just was not as often or as satisfying as she would like. I knew I was older - much older - than her hubby, but I couldn't help but wonder if I would be able to satisfy some of her hunger.
Eventually Kerry told me that she had a wild side. She'd had a number of lovers other than her husband. A number of them had been before they had gotten married and. after they were married, she had been monogamous for over seven years. However her frustrations had then taken over and driven her into the arms and bed of another man, seeking the physical satisfaction she was not getting at home.
I have to admit that the longer we talked, the more prurient my thoughts of Kerry became. Every time she would get up to get another basket of laundry to fold, I watched her beautiful round ass as she walked away, wanting to touch her, to hold her, to snuggle up behind her and squeeze her to myself. I found myself wanting to kiss her neck, to nuzzle her ear, to kiss the side of her face but most of all to kiss her sweet looking lips.
Oh, back from dreamland. I wondered if her husband knew about her lovers but she told me that he did not. He wouldn't approve of her going outside of the marriage, or at least he would be unhappy about it, even though he probably knew he was not satisfying her as he had earlier in their relationship. I supposed it was a male ego thing that no guy wanted to admit he was not as good as he once was, even if he is as good once as he was. Even though this is a recurring theme millions of times a day the world over, men are too stubborn as a group to change their techniques to please their ladies in other ways.
So it didn't come as a surprise that Kerry had experienced other lovers when their marital relations began to produce less and less satisfaction. She indicated that most of those were short encounters. She was not looking to get out of her marriage but rather to get more enjoyment out of life.
Nor did it come as any big surprise when I found out that Kerry had been engaged in a long distance relationship with another guy for the last several months. She had never seen Brad, even though he was from a city less than two hundred miles away, because he was on duty in Iraq. However they had become quite intimate online, even exchanging erotic photos of themselves. I was certain that if things worked out in the future so they could get together, they would take their relationship to an even greater intimacy.
For the first time in a long time, I found myself dreaming about another man's wife. Every night, I'd go to bed thinking about Kerry and her smile ... and her luscious curvy body. Sometime in the night, I would wake up and realize I had been dreaming of being alone with her - not just any woman, but specifically Kerry - and doing all kinds of things with her, all of which were outstandingly satisfying. Invariably when I woke up, I would be wet from my own ejaculate caused by the dreams of being with - and in - Kerry.
I had fairly well accepted that our relationship would go no further than the online situation we had developed. But then Kerry threw me a curve.
With a Friday-through-Monday holiday on the horizon, she said that hubby was going to take the kids out of town to visit his family while she stayed in town for a long awaited dental appointment. They had discussed her trying to drive down later but decided that she deserved the long weekend by herself as a break from her usual routine of taking care of the little ones.
I thought about it for a bit but decided that there would never be a more opportune time. I asked if I showed up in town that weekend if she would take time to see me. She said she would be delighted. Her smile came through the web cam as bright as I'd ever seen it.
