"So how long will you be gone?" he asked grudgingly, as he loaded her suitcase into the trunk of the car.
"I don't know," she replied gently with a soft smile. "For as long as she needs me, I guess."
He shoved his hands deep into his pockets and scowled at the ground. When he looked up again, she was watching him with an amused grin on her face. He raised an eyebrow and tried not to smile back.
"Oh come on," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I've asked the new neighbour to stop in and check on you. She assures me that she can take care of all your needs."
He held her out at arm's length and looked at her inquisitively. She grinned impishly and winked. He leaned in and kissed her long and hard before letting go of her. She got into the driver's side, started the car and soon was around the corner and out of sight.
He stood for a long time watching the car drive away, then cast a long, ponderous look at the neighbour's house before going inside.
A couple hours passed and he was pouring himself a glass of wine when the doorbell rang. Despite what his wife had said before leaving, he was still mildly surprised when he saw the buxom redhead standing on the step, holding a pan of brownies. There was a brief moment of awkwardness, followed by cursory introductions and then the invitation to come inside.
She handed him the pan and slipped off her sandals, and he noticed her toenails were painted a very pale shade of purple. He also couldn't help but notice how he could look right down her scoop neck shirt to her generous cleavage when she bent down to put her shoes in a nice neat line. His eyes followed the line of her back to her curvy ass, and down to where the defined muscles of her calves were showcased beneath her flowing skirt. She stood back up and he hastily recovered and went to put the baking in the kitchen.
He was taking two small plates out of the cupboard when he sensed her presence behind him. Smelled her presence might have been more accurate. The heady scent of her perfume filled his nostrils before he felt the gentle caress of her hands on his shoulders.
He felt her soft breath tickle his ears as she whispered to him, "Your wife tells me you are insatiable. She asked me to make sure you were totally taken care of while she is away. I promised her I would...and I never break my promises."
Slowly he turned and looked down into her bright green eyes, feeling her hands slide down his chest to his stomach, and then up inside his shirt. He didn't say a word and just leaned down to ever so softly touch his lips to hers, never breaking eye contact with her.
