Thank you for all the positive comments I received on the first part of this story. I also appreciate those who expressed concern for my husband. While I write primarily in first person (because I feel it makes for a better read), my stories are purely fiction and not autobiographical in any way. I am working on a sci-fi erotic story in second person that might please some of you more.
The Taekwondo Instructor, Part II
Tony was a smart enough man to know acknowledging me any more than he had before our tryst would be unwise. I'm not sure how he fully understood my need for discretion, but he did. He would greet me if the opportunity arose but never did more than engage in a moment or two of small talk.
However, a few weeks later, Tony stopped me as class was ending. "Mrs. Burns, if you're not too busy, could you speak with me a moment?" He asked. "Testing is coming up for orange belts and I was hoping you might be willing help organize the roster."
"Of course, Mr. Fredricks." I smiled, hopefully evenly. "Let me get my son changed and sent off with our friends."
Once caring for my son, I looked for Tony but didn't see him near the reception area so I walked back to the restrooms to visit the ladies'. As per our earlier tryst, Tony was waiting for me in the narrow hallway. He had changed out of his uniform jacket and belt to a t-shirt. "Beth," he whispered, mouth close to my chestnut brown hair. "Could we...again..."
I pulled back and said aloud, "Mr. Fredricks, why don't you walk me to my car while we talk about what I can for you?"
We walked out together, Tony stopping at the front desk to tell the receptionist he'd be back in a moment. Seeing as how she'd heard our initial exchange I was hoping she didn't expect a thing. Once outside and away from eavesdroppers, the urgency in his voice returned. "Mrs. Burns, ah, Beth, I cannot stop thinking about you, about the little bit of time we shared."
"Tony," I started, "you know I'm married. You've shown me you understand my need to keep things quiet. While my husband and I have an 'arrangement,' I simply cannot start anything serious. A few evenings, a couple good fucks...that's all I can offer."
He sighed, "I know. I know all of that. But I need more than a half hour in the storage room. Please. I'm not asking for anything serious. Could you...tonight? Outside the studio? Your place, maybe? Just for a few hours."
We had been walking side by side, but I turned to look at him in the eyes. "Tonight. The little guy isn't due home until 8:00. That gives us about 4 hours. But not my place. I have a strict rule about that."
He leaned in a bit. "My place, then? It's close. I can blow off my class this evening and make it up tomorrow. Nice thing about being a black belt. There are classes nearly every day." He motioned to my car. "Wait for me. You can follow me there. I've got to go make up an excuse." The man turned into a boy as he spoke so quickly he could barely get the words out.
I sat in my car quietly waiting the few minutes it took Tony to gather his gear and make an excuse about missing his class. I generally didn't get too involved with any of my affairs, but I did have two or three men I could count on if I became too lonely through the week. Tony had proven himself as a good lover, what little we'd been able to experience of each other. The question remained if he could honor my request of keeping things strictly casual.
True to his word the boy came practically skipping out of the studio 5 minutes later and hopped into his car. He motioned for me to follow the 7 or so blocks to his apartment. Like apartments of most young bachelors, it was sparsely furnished with mostly second-hand furniture. However he did have the discipline of keeping the place cleaner than most I'd seen. "Not much." He said offering me a seat on the clean but aging couch, "But as you've probably heard, I don't really have my act together enough to afford anything better."
"I've heard," I said, "But what does that mean?"
"Well, I moved here to go to college, but dropped out halfway through last year. I just wasn't interested. Since I was dating someone here, I stayed in the area. But I've had trouble finding a decent job, mostly because I don't have much desire to look. The taekwondo studio doesn't pay me much. I teach for free as a requirement of my belt, but they pay me to help run the office and organize student promotions." He leaned back on his end of the couch and ran a hand through his short hair. "When you don't have a job, and don't have any aspirations, girls don't stick around long. That's what happened with Julie, the girl I was dating. She wanted more from me, from us. I loved her, but I couldn't give her what she wanted."
"And what did she want?"
"We met at school. She thought she was getting a college man. When I dropped out, she tried to stick it out, but things changed with us. She was looking for someone who could make a good husband. I'm not anywhere close to being ready for that." He chuckled, looking at me.
"Listen, I'm sorry I sounded so desperate back at the studio. Everything I said is true, but it's not like I can't get some if I wanted it. But I felt cheated we had to settle for a quickie." He cleared his throat. "Do you want something to drink? I don't have much, but I've got a couple beers, water, might be a sports drink or two...."
"A beer would be good." I said settling in to the couch a bit. Tony had calmed down some, and I was in no hurry. We had a few hours. The only thing waiting for me at home was a mountain of dirty laundry.
We drank our beer and talked earnestly for an hour or so. I asked how he imagined it would be appropriate to approach me. As I suspected, he had no idea I was old enough to be his mother. He confessed he had caught my friend and I watching him, chuckling together in the corner. He also confessed that my love for skirts and skimpy panties was not as much a secret as I thought. Apparently from his vantage point while instructing the kids, if my skirt rode up just enough when I crossed my legs, he normally got a pretty good up-shot. He mistook this as a suggestion I might be open to a tryst eventually. The first time we bumped into each other in the hallway near the ladies' room wasn't nearly as accidental as I had thought.
"And just so you know," Tony added, "pretty much all the other moms know you go braless most of the time. When you wear those sleeveless blouses, you can see right through the armhole." It was not news to me. It was also not something I was particularly concerned about. I've never found anything shameful about the human body or any of its parts.
"Too hot to wear a bra in the summer." I said casually, flipping my hair out of my face. "Besides if you had these beauties, would you want to strangle them like that?" I ran my hands down the side of each breast and cupped it underneath. My breasts are average size. A good B cup, but even at 40, they are still pert. Most women my age wear a bra mostly to hold their boobs up in their proper place. Not mine. While, softening, they defy age by refusing to sag - much.
Tony leaned forward to run his fingertips across the front of one breast, still offered up toward him, teasing the edge of lace around the scoop neckline of my knit shirt. "If I had those, I'd never be able to stop playing with them. I love pert, round tits."
I laughed. "You'd look pretty funny with my breasts." Tony continued to run his fingertips up and down the breast closest to him, his smile at our light talk fading into lust.
"Perhaps so, Beth. I'll let you keep them as long as I can play with them."
