She'd been looking forward to a few days away with the girls before the the kids mid-winter holiday kicked-in, drinking some wine, having a few giggles, going for walks, just relaxing in front of the fire. Time to forget about work and family and be herself for a few days. But that wasn't going to happen now, at least not with her friends. One had cancelled shortly after Julie had stepped in the car, a crisis with a daughter to resolve. The other had left it until Julie was just pulling into the driveway of the little cottage they'd rented for the weekend. A quick text an apology about a broken-down car meaning her friend didn't know when or indeed if she would get there.
The AirBnB was very pretty, a thatched roof, small comfortable lounge, tiny kitchen and three bedrooms all decorated in a tasteful country style. It had been a long drive to Cornwall and it was bitterly cold as she stepped from the car, pissed off that she'd be all on her own. Fair enough she could be herself but she was hoping to have some fun too. She just hoped the cottage was warm, it did have the look of somewhere that could be chilly. But as she stepped through the door she saw the host had left a fire burning in the grate and a wave of warmth washed over her.
"Oh well" she resolved "I'll read my book, watch some trashy films and go for a big walk or two. It'll be like a retreat...but with wine!". The room was very cosy, with a big sofa and a couple of armchairs, alongside a big pile of split logs next to the fire place, perfect for whiling away the hours.
A few hours later Julie felt completely at home and wasn't missing her friends at all. It was glorious to be on her own for a while she decided. She'd eaten, bathed in the huge roll top bath she'd discovered upstairs and was now a little too hot as she lounged on the sofa with a glass of red, her book and the sound of 70's soul music playing in the background.
Her short robe fell open slightly as she relaxed, revealing the delicate curve of her breasts, her smooth thighs and pretty panties that she liked to indulge herself with, but she didn't care, solitude really did have its benefits.
She'd noticed earlier that it had started to snow outside and there was now a good build-up on the windowsills, but she wasn't going to worry as she had everything she needed, it just added to the cosy feel inside the little cottage.
She must have dozed and woke with a start to what sounded like banging at the front door.
"What the hell?" Expecting it to be her friend with the broken car here at last, she didn't think to put anything else on and just wrapped her robe around her as she padded to the door. But it wasn't her friend, it was a dazed looking man, with a cut on his forehead, shivering and soaking, covered in snow.
"Sssssorry to bother you" his teeth chattered as he spoke, "but I wonder if you could help. I've had a bit of an accident."
Taken aback Julie clung to her robe wrapping it around her as much as she could, suddenly aware of her near nakedness, but she looked up into the man's face, made a snap decision that he wasn't a danger and invited him in.
"Thank you so much" he whispered, stepping through the door "I think I need to sit down."
Julie guided him to one of the armchairs in front of the fire, looking at him properly for the first time. He was handsome, maybe late 40's, early 50's, salt and pepper hair, a neatly trimmed, greying beard, kind eyes, but blood slowing dripping down his face from the cut on his head. She went into nursing mode.
"Stay here, I'm going to clean up that wound, then you can tell me about it." She whizzed up the stairs, finding what she needed in the bathroom cabinet and was down again in less than 2 minutes.
When she reappeared the man was barely awake and she worried that he might be concussed or hypothermic, or both. As she dressed his wound she realised just how wet his clothing was. He was only wearing a suit, the jacket was drenched and walking through the snow had made his trousers soaking wet, she noticed he only had on a pair of brogues.
"Bugger" she thought "I better get him into something warmer."
"Listen mister you need to stay awake" he looked up groggily and smiled as she applied a plaster, the cut wasn't that bad and he had a lovely smile she thought. "OK, now don't take this the wrong way but I need to get you out of those wet clothes." she told him as she reached around to remove his jacket. As she did she was aware suddenly that her nipples had hardened as she brushed against him. "Stay professional" she told herself, "look after the patient, make sure he's OK, then I better put some clothes on"
The man was trying to help, he had a striped city tie on, which he was struggling to remove.
"Stop" she said kindly, "I'll do it, then I'll run you a hot bath."
He was soaked to the skin making it a struggle to get his shirt off, but when she did she couldn't but admire his broad chest. She took his shoes and socks off, his feet were like blocks of ice.
"I'm going to run the bath" she told him, "you really have to warm up." She went up the stairs again and on her return a few moments later, found the man on his feet, in front of the fire struggling to remove his trousers.
"Let me" she said and without a second thought unbuttoned and unzipped him. As she pulled down his wet trousers his underwear came with them and as she went to take them from his cold feet she realised she was face to face with a lovely looking cock, which despite the cold looked very inviting. She swallowed hard. "Professional Julie, stay professional" she said to herself, "it's not as though you haven't seen a cock before."
She pulled a throw off the sofa and wrapped it around him, feeling him shiver as she embraced him. Despite the fire he was still very cold. She held on to the man for a few moments hoping her warmth would help, and to her surprise found herself enjoying the feel of his body against hers. He though was clearly still dazed and unlike her, unaware of their potentially compromising position. Grabbing him by the hand she told him to follow her up the stairs.
He shuffled slowly behind her as they climbed and she realised he would be getting a very good view of her arse in her pretty panties, which to her surprise were a little wet and not from his damp clothing.
