As part of my work, I've travelled a lot. I've been away from home for at least 5 months in each of the past 5 years. Of course, I've got some security in the apartment including a camera in the living room, attached to the clock. I can view it online from almost anywhere in the world, to see what is happening at any moment. In addition, I've got a simple arrangement with my neighbours. They have held the front door keys and have a look round every few days to make sure there are no water leaks nor insect invasions through the ducting. That did happen once and was a real bummer.
So my neighbour Suzanna and her boyfriend Alec have a set of key and I buy them a gift whenever I return from overseas. They've been totally reliable for these years and I trust them implicitly.
Recently, as I set off back home, I sent the usual WhatsApp message to let them know when I'd be arriving. But Suzanna sent me a sad reply : She had spilt with Alec some weeks back but was still in her old address and was still doing the security visits every few days. I sensed from her message that she was rather down about the split but I don't know much about their lives or their relationship. I'm not even sure what Alec does for his work, although I know that Suzanna works as a physiotherapist in a city centre clinic. She is 30-something, quite short but fit and muscular; I've noticed from seeing her jogging around the neighbourhood. I suppose her work encourages her own muscle development. I have noticed, also, that her breasts don't bounce up and down as she jogs; so I deduce she wears a good supportive sports bra or equivalent. Neither do her buttocks wobble about, which is the case with other women joggers I see. I concluded that she must be very muscular and trim in the "derriere department." But that was as far as I ever noticed her physical appearance. Oh, she has long blonde hair, down to her waist; I could see that! She is 20 years younger than I am and had seemed committed to Alec.
So I arrived home last Friday evening, about 7pm, tired from a 9-hour flight but glad to see that the apartment was secure, and the post was collected into little piles in the hallway instead of being just a knee-deep mess behind the door. I got in and placed my luggage in the spare bedroom, and made a pot of tea. Then I got our the gift for Suzanna: a group of scented candles, made without animal fats, and set in a nice rustic primitive ceramic base. Just the kind of thing I know she likes as a table centrepiece.
After about 10 minutes, the door bell rang and I went to let in Suzanna, for her to return my keys. She stood in the door way and held up the keys with one hand, cocking her head to one side as if to say, "Here they are. Happy now?"
She was dressed in her jogging outfit; trainers, soft but fitted jog-bottoms, a loose flowing sweater and a neat woolly peaked cap.
I reached out and took them and said, "Come in Sue and have a cuppa."
She came in and I reached out to the gift before going into the kitchen for the tea,
"This is for you with my thanks for looking after things again."
"There's no need for presents, you know. I do it as a good neighbour and you've helped me in the past with big deliveries and with my decorating," she demurred.
"Well, open it and see if you like it," I suggested and went for the tea.
When I came back she was sitting with her head down, and with my gift in her hands, and clearly upset. Maybe, I thought, she was sobbing: perhaps because Alec was not here with her this time.
"Sue, is everything OK?" I asked and knelt down to one side of her, placing the tea tray on a little table I'd placed carefully before she came.
She stood up and lifted me from my kneeling.
"Oh, you are so kind and thoughtful. And I've been so lonely," she confirmed my thought about Alec.
She continued, "The candles are lovely. Thank you, but you don't need to give me things."
I replied, "Sue you've given me peace of mind for years and I wish I could give you more gifts to show my thanks - my gratitude. Is there anything I can do for you to thank you?"
We were standing facing each other, about one foot apart and she still had tears in her eyes. After a few seconds of silence and eye contact, suddenly she reached out and took my hands, and pressed them to her breasts.
"Please will you make love to me?" she whispered.
She lifted her head and looked straight into my eyes. Hers were still moist with her tears.
"Sue. Are you sure you want this from me?" I whispered back to her, with my hands still pressed to her breasts.
"Yes please, I like you and you are a nice man, so safe and I need...I need...I need someone to appreciate me a little. Please show me some gentleness and some special understanding. Will you?" Her eyes were filling up again.
You need to know that I'm in my mid-50s, widowed 4 years ago when my wife died after a harrowing illness that left me devastated. I've not been seeking feminine company.
Yet, here was this attractive much younger woman offering herself to me out of some sense of need and gratitude. I wasn't even sure that I could perform any longer, in the way she seemed to want.
Suzanna kept hold of my hands and took a step towards the door. She let my arms stretch out but kept pulling me after her. We walked slowly towards the door, our eyes fixed on each other all the time. For the first time, she smiled a little smile at me; more of a grin. No teeth showing, just a slight wrinkling of her eyes and now with her curved lips. And for the first time in 4 years, I felt that I wanted to be close to this young feminine person who had revealed her liking for me.
I took a hand away from hers and grabbed the keys as we left my apartment. Her front door was already open; just slightly ajar with the latch hooked back. She walked backwards and pushed the door with her bottom, and drew me inside. I extracted a hand again and pressed the door shut so that it clicked. She kept pulling me and we went through a door into her bedroom. Only then did she let go of my hands and put hers up to my face. She just held my throat under my ears both sides and I expected a kiss. But no; she just whispered, "Please undress me" and put her hands down to her own hips.
I took hold of the bottom edge of the loose top she was wearing and lifted up towards her shoulders. She raised her hands and I saw, as her eyes and head were covered, that she was wearing not a sports bra at all. But a firm longline bra into her waist, boned up the front to the cup wires, and at the sides up to her armpits. That was why her breasts didn't bounce when she ran.
I lifted the item of clothing over her head and tossed it to one side, on to a chair. Her eyes were still looking straight into mine, with the little smile. She took hold of my hands and pressed them to each side of her chest, holding the outer edges of her breasts and the long bra.
She pushed my hands down to the jog-bottoms, where there was a tied ribbon-cord around her waist; also holding the bottom edge of the bra. I untied the cord and loosened the pants but they were too fitted to fall down by themselves. Again, I kneeled down in front of her and slowly eased the waist-part down over her hips. And so on, until they were bunched around her ankles. She lifted one foot and then the other, and I tossed the garment aside to the same chair.
Then I saw why her buttocks didn't wobble when running. She was wearing a tight little brief-leg pantie girdle, with panels and a zipper up the front. This young woman was held together in firm underwear and now it would be my job to release her. Her figure was more feminine than I'd noticed before. Nice breasts, slim waist and rounded hips and bottom. My memories and my masculine inclinations became inflamed. I could feel my erection building for the first time in so-many years.
In my kneeling position, I reached up and slowly pulled down the zipper on her girdle. She held the waist as it released on her until it was loose and I shifted it down to her ankles as before. She stepped out of the girdle and I saw her flat belly and the pressure marks of the girdle panels and the zipper lining. She had a beautiful figure and I hadn't noticed it ever before.
Suzanna turned round and presented her back to me for me to unhook the bra, which I did with memories of such clothes from years before. There were 12 hooks and slowly I released her until she pulled it forward, off her shoulders and tossed it herself onto the chair.
