For a bit of balance I thought it only fair to give the wife some fun.
Ch. 3 is in the concept stage but should be posted soon.
As always, please enjoy in the spirit it's offered and feel free to comment.

The two friends met for lunch on a regular basis but hadn't been able to for a few weeks. Sam had called Claire to arrange what was essentially an E.G.M. to discuss something she wasn't comfortable talking about over the phone.
"Oh god, you're not in trouble with MFI are you?" Claire teased her friend for being so melodramatic, "This line isn't bugged I hope!"
"No you ninny, just want to have the conversation face to face!"
And so they sat across from each other nursing their sparkling waters hunched close like co-conspirators in an oppressive regime, waiting for their food to arrive. Claire noticed that Sam had already done a bit of shopping and had shoved her bag under the table.
"I think I might have a stalker!" said Sam in hushed tones.
Claire went wide eyed and mouthed Oh My God.
"What's happened? Are you being threatened? Is he sending notes? Does Tim know?"
"No, no, nothing like that, it's the kid across the hall, he keeps coming out whenever I leave to go on a run."
"Coming out? And what? Following you? Staring? Shouting abuse?"
"No, he's going running too. All decked out in the latest compression gear. But he's been there three times on the trot!"
Claire sat back and folded her arms. She cocked her head to one side and pursed her lips.
"Sam, you go running at the same time each day. This kid goes running at the same time each day. Chances are if it's a good time to go running, it's a good time for him too. It's a coincidence, for all you know the poor lad thinks you're stalking him!"
This simply hadn't occurred to Sam. Sure the first time she had left her flat to be confronted by him doing warm up stretches in the hall outside she thought nothing of it. When she turned the corner on the way home to find him no more than 5 meters in front of her and she'd had to follow him for the last 30 meters back to their homes she passed it off as nothing unusual. But when he appeared as she came out on the second day, and the third, that's when she'd phoned Claire. She recounted these details to her friend watching her face closely for some sign of what she was thinking but Claire clearly wasn't taking her seriously. An arched eyebrow and half smile told Sam her friend thought her foolish.
"Does he have a nice bum?"
"What?"
"This young athlete you've been following up the road the last few nights, does he have a nice bum?"
Sam bit her lip and tried not to look guilty. For a moment she considered firstly denying, then saying nothing but eventually she broke into a coy smile and admitted, "It's gorgeous! I could just...hmmmm!" She mimed grasping something about bottom sized with both hands and then sinking her teeth into it. Both the women dissolved in giggles for a while and conversation stopped while their food was placed in front of them.
"So did you ask me here today to brag?"
Sam looked shocked and started to act insulted but stopped. She gave an exaggerated thoughtful expression and pointed her eyes up and to the left.
"Do you know something, I do believe I did!"
More giggles and the two old friends continued with their banter for a while.
"So what have been buying that we couldn't shop for together?"
Sam blushed furiously and on a reflex moved her shopping under her chair with a foot.
"Oh nothing, just running stuff. Sports socks, things like that, you know."
"Show me."
"It's not very exciting, I'm sure you wouldn't be at all interested."
"Show me!"
Claire held out her hand. Sam retrieved the bag from under her chair and held on to it for a second before handing the large white carrier bag over to her inquisitor. Clair knew she'd struck gold, Sam acted so guiltily it was tangible. Looking into the bag she took out a tiny pair of compression leggings and a matching crop top.
"Good god woman! Can you even get into these?"
"Oh yeah, they stretch. These are both my size, they're supposed to be tight."
"Tight? TIGHT? These will look painted on! And you intend to wear these tonight? You bought those to wear for your stalker? I take it Tim has no idea about any of this."
Sam felt ashamed for the first time. Truth was she had admired the kid's physique and his skin tight running clothes looked really sexy. If, as she was beginning to believe, he was turning up deliberately she wanted to look sexy too. Claire seemed genuinely angry and the mention of her husband made Sam wince. She'd allowed herself to get swept along in a fantasy and hadn't thought the implications through. She reached across the table and took her friends two hands in hers.
"Claire, listen. Listen! Nothing is going to happen. There is nothing for Tim to know. It's a silly tease for my own amusement. Tim hasn't been near me for ages. Well he has, but he's distracted. Tired he says from his shift pattern, but he just wants it over with. Wham-bam stuff. If I was satisfied do you think I'd be spending over a £100 on running clothes? Can't I have this? Can't I just pretend for a while?"
Claire loved Sam to bits and any anger quickly dissipated and was replaced with concern. This was potentially dangerous ground she was getting into. She hadn't known about Tim cooling towards his wife and prayed it wasn't serious but her loyalties were definitely with Sam so she came up with a plan.
"Sam, before you go flaunting your body.."
"...I'm not it's just..."
"Let me finish. Before you go out with nothing but sprayed on clothes and tease a guy you don't know lets at least establish that he's not a stalker. OK? Let's run a little test. If he is genuinely just going running at the same time; change your time. Just 10 or 15 minutes. If he still comes out at his usual time and goes running anyway we know he's genuine and you haven't got a weirdo to worry about. If he doesn't come out, if he doesn't go running then, OK it's not enough to put him away, but you know to be careful. You know if he is genuine and just likes to go running it wouldn't hurt to have a running partner in your neck of the woods."
"I knew there was a reason I let you hang around with us cool kids." Sam beamed at her friend. Claire was such a good friend. She knew that last bit about a running partner was her blessing for anything that might happen. Anything at all.
Paul was poised by his front door. He had his best compression 3/4 length leggings and long sleeve top on. He knew how he looked, He looked good. He was tall and muscular and toned. His body was is perfect shape and his running kit left nothing to the imagination. He had noticed the MILF across the hall weeks ago and he really wanted a shot at that arse. Failing that he'd settle for multiple shots at her pussy. She was small and tight and exactly what he liked. Her pixie cut was exactly what she suited and put her squarely in the centre of the sexy/pretty/cute Venn diagram. He had known she went running around the same time every evening. He had pumped himself as much as he could and put on his tightest running gear and pretended to do warm ups until she came out. He'd timed it perfectly and was bending right over as she appeared. He had stood, given her a good look at him all over before. Heading off down the corridor. Once out of sight he ducked out of the way and waited for her to run passed. He didn't know her route so couldn't go the same way and have her follow so he did the next best thing. There was only one way she could return so he waited at a crucial corner and simply kept an eye out. When he saw her approach he chose the apt moment and started running back himself. She would think she'd caught him up and would have plenty of time to appreciate his best feature. If she'd seen the front and his favourite feature she would know how excited he was thinking she was watching his backside in the oh so tight leggings.
Tonight she was late, Only 4 or 5 minutes, but she was never this late. He wasn't stupid, he sensed this was a test and didn't want to be caught out. He opened his door and started his warm up routine.
Sam had been peering through her spy hole in the door. She had changed into her new gear in the bedroom and put sweat pants and a fleece top over it. Tim hadn't batted an eyelid as she walked through the living room. It was run time, didn't concern him. As soon as she was in the porch she stripped off the outer garments and stood there in leggings and crop top. She felt incredibly self-conscious and wasn't sure if she could go through with it in any case. The kid wasn't there and it looked like Claire had been right to be cautious. Sam was more disappointed than she would ever admit and actually gasped with joy when the door to the flat opposite opened and he came out. She stayed behind the protection of the spy hole for a minute, watching him stretch and flex. God he looked good. It really was like watching him exercise naked. His collar length wavy blond hair, soft brown eyes and strong jawline didn't hurt and she felt herself dampen as she opened her door and stepped out.
