Author's note: This is a series of erotic stories about a recent period in my life where I found possibly the perfect situation for a man in my circumstances. So what are my circumstances? In brief, I'm a divorced man in my 40s retired from a career as an international pilot, recently moved back to Australia from Dubai, and settling into a comfortable life. I'm in good shape at 190cm, 84kgs and a good swimmer, sailor and cyclist. I'm well read, like classical and rock and roll, and enjoy both dramas and comedies on the screen. The more interesting circumstances will emerge from the stories. I hope you enjoy them.
One of my neighbors is Di, (short for Diane) a nice-looking woman in her thirties whose husband, Mark, is a Fly In Fly Out (FIFO) worker in the mines in the northwest of Australia. He is away for 10-day shifts and then home for 8 days. But when Mark is 'home' he is often away with his mates fishing or on trips to sporting events. She is the classic neglected wife. But just how neglected I was soon to learn.
Both Di and her husband seemed to be a bit isolated from the neighbourhood, rarely out in their yard, interacting with neighbours. The few times I have seen her husband, we exchanged a few polite words, but certainly didn't hit it off. Di seems friendly but hesitant to talk for long as her husband often interrupted our chats asking her to come do something. It seemed to me he was a bit controlling so I was resigned to staying out of the way - until one evening.
About 6:00 on a warm November evening, there was a knock at my front door. I opened it to see Di in a rather anxious state.
'Hi Rick, I'm really sorry to bother you but my oven has stopped working and Mark is away and I can't reach him. I'm in the middle of baking a lasagne and would like to get the oven working. I don't want to call an electrician and pay a call-out fee as Mark gets mad when I spend money on something that he could fix. Do you think you could have a look at it for me.'
'Hi Di. Of course, I'd be glad to. Let me grab a couple of tools.'
'Oh, thanks. I really appreciate it.'
I went to get my toolbox, and followed Di around our front yards to her front door. As I walked with her I noticed that she was wearing some nice shorts and a halter top -- clothes she didn't wear when Mark was around. These clothes showed off her nice arse and relatively large breasts for a woman her height and build. She had a nice sway to her hips I hadn't seen before and a lovely perfume wafted from her. I realized she was quite an attractive woman. Her blonde hair hung down to her shoulders and she had very deep blue eyes. Her body was in good shape with a very light tan. I'd guess her breasts were 36C, she had a slim waist and judging from what I could see, a very pert arse. I wondered why I hadn't noticed how sexy she was.
When we got to her kitchen, I had a look at the oven and sure enough it wouldn't heat up.
'Di, the oven light isn't coming on so I don't think it's getting any power. Can you please try turning on a light?'
'Sure', she said. The light in the kitchen went on so I knew the house had power.
When I asked her where the electrical box was, Di wasn't sure. But as in many Australian houses, it was by the front door. I checked out the RCDs and sure enough one had tripped. I reset it, and it stayed on.
I tried the oven again, and sure enough the light came on, the elements started to heat up.
'Well, Di, I think that should do it. Sometimes these RCDs trip due to a power surge. It all seems fine now, but if it trips again don't hesitate to call me.'
"Oh Rick, that's great! You don't know how thankful I am. You have saved me from a tongue lashing from Mark for sure. How can I repay you?'
'No worries, Di. This is what neighbours do for each other.'
'Well, would you like something to drink? Mark always has some beer in the fridge We could have a short chat while the lasagne cooks.'
'Di, that would very nice. We could get know each other better and this seems a good opportunity.'
As Di bent down to get my beer from the fridge, her shorts rode up her arse cheeks and into her arse crack in a very sexy way. Holding up a beer and bottle of wine she got from the fridge, she explained,
'Mark, doesn't like me drinking when he is away, but I sometimes keep a bottle of white wine in the fridge to help wile away the evenings. I think this is a good time to open this one. I've also got some nuts here somewhere.'
Di reached up to a high cupboard which again lifted her shorts up her delicious backside. I could feel the beginning of my cock hardening, as we moved to an outside table in their backyard, and settled down to our drinks and nibbles.
'Rick, cheers to you for fixing my oven', Di smiled and lifted her glass to clink my bottle.
We had a lovely chat about backgrounds and found we had a number of things in common. We both liked swimming, and like me Di had been a competitive swimmer in her teens. We also both liked Bob Dylan, Midnight Oil and some classical music.
As I finished my beer, Di got up to take out the lasagne and offered me another beer.
'I should probably head home,' I said, 'and let you get on with your dinner'.
'Rick, we're having a great chat, how about just one more beer? I'd really enjoy the company! In fact, would you like to stay for dinner? There's plenty of lasagne and I'm planning on making a garden salad. It's the least I can do for you getting me out of tight spot. You don't know how severe Mark can be when I do something wrong.'
'Di, I don't want to put you out but the lasagne smells delicious and is making me hungry. I don't have anything planned for dinner so sharing yours would be lovely, thanks. How about I take my tools home and get us a nice bottle of red to go with the lasagne? I have a nice Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, which I think you would like.'
'I'd be really glad to have your company, and I find you very easy to talk with.' Di replied. 'I don't usually drink more than a couple of glasses of wine but your red sounds great. If you get the wine, I'll make the salad.'
I returned with my bottle to find Di had set the table, put out two wine glasses and was busy finishing off the salad. I opened the wine, and enjoyed the view of her moving around the kitchen bending down several times showing off her lovely arse, and causing more commotion in my pants. Perhaps because of the wine or maybe she was just feeling more comfortable, she stopped pulling her shorts back down to cover her arse when she stood up and seemed oblivious to the effect she was having on me. She set out the salad and the bread, and brought our plates to the table, leaning over the table and showing that she wasn't wearing a bra under her halter top. As she sat down opposite me, I filled our glasses and offered a toast to a new friendship.
It was a delicious lasagne, and we enjoyed the food, the wine and the conversation. We seemed to hit it off and there were no awkward silences, just lots of stories of our past and laughter about things we had done when we were young.
I helped clear away the dishes and stacked them in the dishwasher as Di put away the leftovers. I filled our glasses again and suggested we move inside, as I had noticed Di's nipples had hardened from the cold during dinner.
'Why isn't a handsome man who is handy with his hands, helps in the kitchen and knows a good wine like you married,' she asked, as she sat next to me on the couch.
'Well, I was married for about 10 years, but it didn't work out'
'Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your private life.'
'That's OK, we got divorced over a year ago and I'm really happy to be out of the relationship. I don't mind talking about it so no need to be sorry. To be honest I do miss the company of woman, so it's great to be here with you enjoying a lovely meal, a nice wine and a friendly chat.'
'If you don't mind me asking, why did your marriage not work out.' asked Di guardedly.
'It's a bit of story, but if you are interested I'm happy to tell.'
I'd really like to hear, if you don't mind.'
