JAKE'S DESIRE
He had always loved the feeling of a morning awakening in a warm bed, stretching his naked body to its full extension, half-erect, and reaching for the warm body of his partner lying beside him.
Ann always slept with her back to him, which was at times a frustration, but he craved the warm sensation of naked bodies grinding against each other. Sex, on a regular basis, was a necessity for Jake. Four or five times a week would suit him fine. The problem rested in the fact that his partner didn't share the same level of needs and desires. She'd set some pretty conservatively rigid boundaries Jake had issues with. Her once-a-week regimen of straight-up, basic sex was little more than an appetizer for him.
All too often, Jake had been left to satisfy his needs during his morning shower, although that was little satisfaction compared to the warmth of an attentive woman's body. Still, it had to suffice for now. He kept hope that something might spark Ann's interest - a wish that was becoming more doubtful as time passed.
Always priding himself on maintaining a toned body, Jake exercised daily and mowed an elderly lady's lawn just down the street. She had been a friend of his mother in the days of his youth. The thing that kept him interested was Mrs. Clayton's granddaughter, who came for occasional visits.
Carly was in her late 20s, 5'6", and tanned, with brunette hair and green eyes that could melt steel. Her most endearing trait in Jake's eyes was her love of flirting. She was merciless toward him. Jake always felt that she could sense Ann's low libido and felt sorry for him.
On many occasions, he'd found his mind fixated on visions of Carly crossing the bounds of flirtation to see that Jake had all his needs met whenever she was near. As much as he'd like to think there was a chance of any of those fantasies becoming reality, she'd not given any indication that would be the case. After all, he was almost twice her age. Still, he got the impression that the age difference wasn't an issue. She saw his hunger, and Jake hoped someday she'd act.
The next week, when Jake was mowing Mrs. Clayton's lawn, she asked if he could move a spare bed from the attic into a room she was making up as a guest room.
"Expecting guests?" he asked.
"Oh yes! I'm so excited! Carly is coming to spend the summer with me", she beamed. "You know she teaches at the University in Rockport, but she wants to get away this summer. She works too hard, and needs a little relaxation."
"She'll like spending time in your pool." Jake was already imagining her long legs lounging beside the pool on lazy summer afternoons. "When will she arrive?"
"On Friday! Just a couple of days from today. I have so much to do! If you could take care of the bed, I'm sure appreciate it." His neighbor had already left him to his thoughts.
"So, Carly will be here all summer! Hmmm. Well, well, well. I'm going to have to make sure she's comfortable and enjoys her time as much as possible!" Absent-mindedly, Jake finished mowing the lawn before bringing Carly's bed down from the attic.
When he got home later that afternoon, Ann was pruning the roses in her backyard garden. "What kept you so long?" she wondered. "Did Mrs. Clayton have extra chores for you?"
"Just helping her do some summer cleaning." Jake begrudged the fact that Ann was jealous of the attention Carly drew from her husband. Yet, she hadn't shown any newfound interest in keeping his attention piqued in their bedroom.
Lying in bed that night, waiting on sleep, Jake's mind was busy plotting reasons to make little unexpected visits to the Clayton home beginning on Friday.
He soon found himself fully erect, massaging his member's full length. When Ann came in from her shower, she paid little attention to him, not even noticing the tent-like shape of the blanket on Jake's side of the bed. Reaching for her current paperback on the nightstand, she turned away from him and began to read, leaving Jake to tend to himself.
