It had been several weeks since she last met him. He traveled for work, gone for a week or more at a time. Charlene didn't know why she cared, it's not like they were a couple.
Sure, he'd call her whenever he was back. They'd go out, have some fun together and she'd go back to his house and spend the night. The sex was always great, he was a very attentive lover, but she found she needed more.
Not more as in lovers, but something more. She wanted him and more. It had been just a little over a year since she left her husband of over twenty years. Well more than twenty she reminded herself. High school sweethearts, she married at a very young age.
Between her four kids and her work as a realtor, she didn't have much spare time to enjoy the life she always felt she was missing. Kaz, her lover, brought some stability and entertainment to the free time she had. That's when she wasn't spending time hanging out with her best friends, Tammy and Debbie.
Charlene's exotic looks, Korean mother, caucasian father, and her vibrant personality made her very popular. Men and women alike wanted to be with or around her. Tammy and Debbie and even Charlene's bosses wife, Kelle were all very protective of her. None of them knew about Kaz.
Charlene had sold Kaz his house. She had always wondered how fate brought them together. Yes, he was attractive, mid-late forties she figured. Tall, compared to her 5'4" frame. He kept his hair cut close to the scalp, he had a salt and pepper mustache and goatee. More salt than pepper.
His physique, broad shoulders, strong arms, firm stomach, but still somewhat of a "dad bod". Not heavy, but not chiseled. She didn't really care, as it was they way he thought and expressed those thoughts that appealed to her.
He would always greet her saying, 'Hello Gorgeous' any time he saw her or spoke to her, whether on the phone or text . It made her feel special. If Tammy or Debbie ever found out about him, they'd probably tell her she was crazy and try to force her to stop seeing him. She's sure they wouldn't approve.
Charlene knew he was probably trouble, but not in a bad way. He was the kind of man that a woman could fall for. But was he the kind of man that could fall for her, or any woman for that matter? Whenever they were together, she felt like she was the only thing he was thinking about. Not his job, not his friends, nothing but her. Damn if felt good! She hated that.
Charlene was proud of her independence, she yearned for it, worked hard to keep it that way. All those years of missing out when she was young. She was going to make up for it now. She had a couple of lovers shortly after leaving her ex, a man twelve years her junior was fun, but too controlling, was the longest.
Her relationship with Kaz was relatively knew. It had only been a few months ago that she sold him his house. Charlene had been out prowling the day before. She had been feeling saucy as she went out only wearing an overcoat with nothing on beneath. When they bumped into each other, the lapel on her coat flung open exposing her ample breast. It was the next day that she sold him his house.
She still gets wet whenever she thinks of that day. She had never had sex with a prospective client before, or since. It wasn't planned, it just happened and it was incredible. He somehow seduced her so completely without really saying anything. Perhaps it was when they brushed arms when walking past one another on the sidewalk.
His gaze penetrated her right down to her inner being. She remembers feeling like she wasn't in control of her movements. She felt his command to undress without him speaking the words.When she started to unbutton her top, he stopped her, took her hands into his, looked again into her own dark and seductive eyes and told her to let him undress her.
She completely gave into his wishes. Her wishes, she reminder herself. It was she who made the first move. They kissed, his lips, full and soft on hers, his warm breath on her soft skin, down her neck, down her belly, down to her waiting kitty.
They started in the bathroom, finished in the shower. Out of breath from the intense orgasm, she recalls asking him if he'd like to make an offer on the house. She always smiled at that memory. Now a few months later, she's at his house whenever he calls. But he hadn't called in two weeks.
Charlene was not going to wait on him. So she dialed his cell.
"Hello, this is Kaz. I'm sorry I cannot take your call at this time..."
She didn't wait for the voice mail to finish or leave a message, she just hung up the phone and refocused on the day ahead. She had three showings, the last one later in the day which probably meant another late dinner, or as was typically the case, popcorn and a glass of wine.
She started her fully loaded Chevy Equinox, leather interior, dark cherry color. She hit her play list and started off for her first showing of the day.
Her phone rang. That was fast she thought, not looking at the number that dialed her.
"Hello sexy" she purred.
"Hi yourself, you sexy ass bitch" said Tammy, "So you're trying to seduce me now are you?" she joked.
Charlene laughed off the disappointment hearing her best friend's voice. This was not who she expected to be calling, although the two spoke almost daily.
"I could never seduce you. You're too perfect to be seduced".
Tammy was a good six inches taller than Charlene. Her long black hair matched her long slender figure. Charlene thought she was a sure look-a-like for Cleopatra. They even went to a Halloween party dressed up as Anthony and Cleopatra one year. Charlene was the best looking Marc Anthony ever they laughed!
"What's up?" Charlene asked her long time friend.
"You going out tonight? I wanna hit Top Shelf and drink mojito's with you. Kelle, Debbie and the gang will be there too. I'll pick you up at your house."
"I have a showing after six, but that should work. See you then."
Charlene hung up the phone and turned the ringer off as she reached her destination. The elderly couple were already there waiting for her. Charlene apologized for being late, blaming the traffic and lead her clients into the ranch style home. It was uneventful.
After her last appointment, Charlene headed home to wait for Tammy. While she waited she took a quick shower, changed into tight fitting top that accentuated her large breasts, a pair of comfortable jeans and her "fuck me" high heels. Valentino Women's Rockstud Caged Pumps-black, size 6.5
They cost almost $1000 and were certainly the most expensive thing she had purchased since the split from her husband. She worked hard for her money and she was going to spend it however she wanted. She only wore them when she was on the prowl. No Kaz? No problem. Only there was a problem that she didn't want to acknowledge.
Tammy swung by, picked up Charlene and drove off to the bar. Drinks were flowing freely, Charlene purchased her first drink of the night and proceeded to have at least seven or eight more. She wouldn't remember. It was the next day that she found out how she wound up sitting on Kelle's lap and seductively licked her face. She didn't remember that either, but according to all the texts she had, it was very sexy.
"Great" she said aloud to no one.
Tammy had spent the night, exhausted keeping all the eager men from trying to take Charlene home with them. She had to tell one guy that they were lesbians and not into men, which only made him want to take both of them home so he could "fix" them. Creep!
Charlene accustomed to early rising did exactly that. She replied to all her texts, blurry eyed, not really focusing on who she was texting, and just made it a group text.
"Had a great time. Can't wait to do it again. And YES, I loved licking your face, you know who"
She hit send.
One by one replies from her friends came back.
"Haha. You were funny last night"
"OMG Charlene. you didn't?" joked another
Over and over her friends texted her. Each one as funny as the other. Tammy remained asleep and Charlene wondered who out drank who. She drank her coffee as she sat on the porch watching the morning rain fall. She curled her legs up and placed them under her chin. She was feeling hungover. Or was it melancholy from not seeing Kaz? She couldn't tell.
Getting up, she walked to her bathroom, took off her robe and stared at herself in her full length mirror. She worked hard to maintain her figure and she was proud of how she looked. She knew she was attractive by the many men who wanted to be with her. She was choosey though.
They had to be attractive, funny and have a great personality. They had to be nice to the people around them, and they had to give her their undivided attention if they thought they had a chance. Still, men and women hit on her constantly. She had to admit she liked the attention. She turned on the shower, waited for the water to get to just the right temperature before entering.
Tammy had heard Charlene enter the bathroom. She sat up and saw Charlene's phone buzzing with every text. Tammy knew all of Charlene's friends and read through them all, laughing as she read them, except one.
"Hello gorgeous. You never cease to surprise me." it read.
Who the fuck is Kaz she wondered. She searched through Charlene's contacts. She quickly found it. Kaz was all it said. Is this a first name, last name? She was curious. She heard the shower shut off, so she got up and opened the bathroom door.
Charlene and Tammy and seen each other naked too many times to count, so there was no surprise on Charlene's part when she saw Tammy leaning against the door jam. She was surprised to see Tammy holder her phone. Tammy did not look happy.
