Thank you for editing for me MrSilence.
Also, thank you to Imstillfun for giving me inspiration to actually do something more. I would so love to have your husband's hands on my body with you under me, and me kissing on your neck.

I read his profile, and I couldn't believe it. Nothing written in the paragraphs had red flags screaming "Move On!" That's what bothered me. His picture was normal, and it just seemed like he didn't spend a lot of time online.
As the divorced mother of two kids, I had to be careful. In fact I shouldn't have been on this adult dating site to begin with, but it intrigued me. I knew most of it was bullshit. I was outnumbered a hundred guys to my one. At 37 I just wanted a little excitement without having to leave the confines of my home.
I felt like I was attractive to men. The pressures of just getting the kids to school on time while working a full time job left very little free time except when I put my little buggers to bed. After 9pm was the only time I felt like I could relax.
I tried reading books for a while since watching TV would wake them up. All my favorites shows always resulted in the female getting nailed by the male in the story eventually. The shows had me thinking of sex.
At first, it was just reading sex stories on sites, and then masturbating after I read them. The lack of actual physical touch drove me to this adult site. For some reason I became intrigued with discovering the person behind the words. Most of these guys were just lonely and desperate. The better looking guys were pursued by a lot of women on this site. Yet, I wanted something better than just a good looking guy.
I wasn't looking for love, well I guess sex eventually. I wanted to be fed sex in small spoonful's until I was sated, not a whole roast shoved down my throat.
I ran my right hand through my long blond hair rereading his profile. Not seeing a picture of his face was the deciding factor for my next step. He had a picture of his muscled back looking away from the camera. I needed a face picture, if for nothing more than just to dream about him. He was probably a complete slime-ball. That would be easy enough to tell after just a few minutes of online chatting. Only one problem, he didn't login to chat very often.
Until tonight that is. His profile showed that he was online after re-reading a few lines of his profile again.
I felt like a slut when I clicked the chat button. My excited nipples on my C cup breasts were clearly visible through the beige material of my nightgown. I hated my body at that moment. I had to take a deep breath just to calm my anxiety to type the word "Hi" and hit enter.
I did hit enter though.
The return "Hi" I was expecting didn't return. Instead I got a whole sentence that just confused me.
Him: "Give me a minute. I am trying to save the world, but after I do, we can talk for a little bit."
I looked at my clock on my PC and waited until it advanced one whole minute. Did his minute mean one more minute after the clock changed I wondered. I was tempted to log off, but before my clock changed, he sent another line of text to me.
Him: "Ok, I am back. I had an emergency that required immediate attention or the fate of the free world would have been at risk."
This guy gave me such interesting things to ask. I was stunned.
Me: "So you think you are important enough to save the free world?"
Him: "I think most people are important. Me, I am just a guy making a decision so you can talk on your cell phone tomorrow at a coffee shop."
Me: "I don't drink coffee."
Him: "I don't either, so if you are offering one of those to me, my face will get all weird."
I know I was fishing for some kind of conversation tid-bits, but this guy was giving me a whole loaf of bread instead of crumbs to pick through. I decided to be blunt with him.
Me: "Can you send me a picture of your face?"
Him: "No problem, but be aware I just took it yesterday."
A photo showed up in my inbox. I immediately opened it. I laughed. Ok, it was a human face.
The only problem with the picture was the additions he added to it. He had obviously doctored the picture by adding an eye patch, a bandana, a fake ear ring, and blacked out a tooth and gave himself some scars. All in all, it was a drawing of a pirate over the original photo.
I was still digesting the thing when another photo showed up in my inbox. I opened it, and it was a normal face except him sticking his tongue out and the caption read, "Me tonight."
Me: "LOL"
Him: "Oh, you think tongue action is funny. I will have you know it was difficult to hold that pose as I was laughing. I deserve an Oscar for my effort."
Me: "You are funny."
Him: "Are you talking about the pictures or my response?"
Me: "All of it."
Him: "It's a gift. Next time you laugh it will cost you."
Me: "Really, and what would it cost me?"
Him: "A picture of your hand."
Huh? That makes no sense.
Me: "Why my hand?"
Him: "So I can look into your soul before you get me into bed. "
My mind was doing flip flops. Now I was thinking of getting him into bed just because of the mysteriousness of the request. He wasn't asking for anything difficult. It just seemed more intimate. It took me out of my comfort zone.
I took a picture of my left hand and sent it to him. I gave him a few moments since I got no response immediately. For some reason him making me wait added more interest for me in the guy.
After I sent the thing I realized I had not waited to see if he could make me laugh again. Was I rushing this thing?
Me: "Well?"
Him: "How long have you been lonely?"
Me: "I am not lonely. What do you see?"
Him: "I see someone that is on the verge of a breakdown. She has been stressed out for a while. She hasn't laughed in a long time because of responsibilities that keep her tied to one place. She has a gentle hand, like a mother. Yet her nails are cut short like she has to work a lot to make ends meet. "
I was absorbing what he was telling. It was scaring me.
Me: "I work a lot, just like everyone else."
Him: "Maybe you do, but did you know that Austin is the Capitol of Texas?"
Me: "Yes, but what does that have to do with..." I started to type. The jerk was faster than me and he kept going.
Him: "I can see the capitol building from my window right now. For some reason this view of the building makes the whole apartment worth the expense of living near downtown. The layout sucks, and the kitchen sink is too small for even one person; but the view of that magnificent building at night is calming to me. The mixture of the lighting and the contours of the building look beautiful to me."
I imagined it. Almost like a movie in my head as I looked out of a hypothetical tiny apartment and saw the building view in my mind. The stupid thing was only a few miles away, but I couldn't see it from my location, but his words took me there to his observation point.
Him: "Can you picture it in your mind?"
Me: "Yes, I can." I finally typed.
Him: "Well, have a good night. I have to wake up early so I am logging off."
Me: "Thank you, good night."
His online status showed offline a heartbeat later.
In a daze I checked on my kids still sleeping in their beds. I felt calm, at peace. In my mind the kids were safe. Tomorrow I knew I would have to work, but the mind-view of the capitol building took some of the extra tenseness out of me.
I fell asleep moments after reaching my own bed.
The next day, all the stresses of the day had me wound up again to the point I knew I couldn't sleep.
I wasn't going to check on him, but I did anyway. He was offline. I reread his profile for the tenth time. I looked at that pirate face picture a hundred times. It was a happy face. His features showed sincere expressions and after our chat, a dreamer kind of face.
It was difficult to fall asleep. I eventually did after I laughed at that pirate picture he had sent me.
The next day the stress of work was much worse. The kids were terrors. All three of us were crying by the time I had them in bed. I took a bath to calm down. The bed beckoned, but even after the bath I wanted to escape my life. Instead of bed I logged on just to check his status.
He was online. My fingers typed out a greeting without even thinking "Hey there."
Him: "Oh, you 're back. Let me tell the other girls I am busy so I can put you to bed proper."
Me: "ok"
I stared the clock on my computer. Other girls? It didn't even take a whole minute when he texted back. He talks to other girls? It bothered me that he did.
Him: "So I finally read your profile. I have some edits to update it a little bit but overall it has potential."
Me: "Potential? I worked hard on that profile."
Him: "You spent maybe ten minutes on it. I could tell you were nervous writing it. It comes out."
His judgment made me mad even if it was completely true.
Me: "What are your fucking edits then?" I typed.
A file showed in my inbox. I wish it had come by snail mail so I could feel the pleasure of ripping it open.
He had highlighted his two changes to my profile. He deleted the duplicate "the" that I was unaware of and changed the misspelled word "impowered" to "empowered".
Yet, something wasn't right. I read my own profile online and I didn't have the extra word or the misspelling. It must be a joke. He purposely made it look like he was correcting something that did not need correcting. What does it mean?
Me: "Hey, why did you that?"
Him: "Because I found it funny."
Me: "So you think I am a joke?"
Him: "I don't know you. Reading your profile, I was annoyed on how perfect it was. It didn't tell me anything any other woman would tell me. Yet, I know your favorite food and color."
