Dear Reader,
Along came two people and inhabited my head and took me in a completely different story to the one I wanted to tell. I have lived as a single mum for so long that I will no doubt always write of sexual loss and longing for sexual relief. I once had a work colleague whose first sex was with more than one elderly partner and was open about her interest in much older men but she was no Alison.
Please let me know what you think as I will write another part if you are interested.
***********************************************************************************************************
Alison lived alone in part of a rented house, downstairs her neighbour was an elderly man who had lost his wife several years before.
Alison had a friendly relationship with Eric and she always checked he was ok.
Eric remained active visiting a local restaurant each day and baking at home. He liked the company of regulars and the traditional meals offered. The restaurant had brought him home delivery during the lockdown periods during covid and he had received food deliveries. Alison had spent time with him in the garden and he loved his younger neighbour's support. As a widower he missed his wife enormously not least the sex they had until her illness and death.
He longed to have sex with someone and missed the eroticism of his wife talking dirty to him before during and after sex. She gave him blowjobs even from her hospital bed whilst masturbating herself.
Alison was extremely modest in her clothing longer skirts and black tights which hung out on the dryer in the garden Eric shared with her. He often wished she would uncover her legs and developed increasing interest in her because she seemed confirmed in being single and she dressed attractively but as an unavailable female. He wondered why always black tights but liked her petticoat hems under her long dresses. She was 30 and had friends but was very committed to her work place. Eric had never seen a friend visit her flat and wondered whether she was interested in men or women or neither; she seemed devoted to her work in a finance company in the City of London. She was black haired and her hair was presentable in a modest style. She visited her parents regularly but he had never met them.
Eric invited her regularly to watch TV as they had a mutual interest in classical music ballet and drama. She was excellent company on these evenings and quite animated in her love of opera. She was a kind and very good person he thought and he felt...well he was attracted to her personality and came to be turned on by her presence in his large living room. He developed frustrated erections and was slightly awkward to find his body excited when Alison had never said or done anything to excite him but he would remain hard for no reason he could think of. This didn't just happen around Alison. He got hard when he was not thinking of anyone or anything. He was sexually frustrated. He once masturbated but didn't enjoy the loneliness of it. He had grown up in a different era and never liked touching himself. He had loved his wife touching him and had been comfortable sleeping naked with her. her lack of any sexual inhibition leading to a a fulfilling marriage with no children. She had never wanted children unusual in his generation.
Alison had recently seen her female doctor who had referred her to a female gynaecologist. She had a vaginal ultrasound which had broken her hymen and the ultrasound instrument had been uncomfortable. Her gynaecologist had performed another examination and discovered that only one ovary was ovulating regularly hence the abnormality of her menstrual cycle. She had a tiny womb and a very tight small cervix. Alison had not been disappointed; she had never had boyfriend and had never masturbated. She was however sexually aroused if she was in her menstrual cycle between periods. Because she had periods irregularity her consultant recommended she wear period pants rather than underwear and she did so. Her consultant had fitted an IUD to regulate periods but had told her she would be incapable of carrying a child and would probably enter an early menopause. She was prescribed hormonal medication and began a regular menstrual cycle. She was seen regularly for counselling and saw her consultant every three months.
Alison sensed Eric's loneliness and loved his polite articulate conversation when she visited, his kindness in sharing his baking and felt she was sharing the house with her own grandfather who had died a few years before. Eric was an interesting man who had been a personal Secretary to a a Trade Union General Secretary of a large Trade Union. He wore tailored clothing and was conservative in his lifestyle and had a generous pension from two sources.
The anniversary of his wife's death always made him sad and he felt lonely. Alison was the only person he could talk to about his feelings and loneliness. They had discussed loneliness several times and she comforted him and it meant a great deal that she hugged him and held his hand at the saddest times. These physical contacts were completely appreciated and lifted his mood. She wasn't shy; he wondered how such a bright sociable young woman dressed so well but seemed to be a "plain Jane" single for the rest of her life.
Alison made a point of spending time with him around the anniversary of the loss of his wife and joined him for tea and cake, which she loved. He cooked a meal for her if she worked late and she loved him for that. He clearly missed his wife and had occasionally confided how sexy she had been. Alison's behaviour had always been appropriate and she liked to offer him physical assurance that he was important to many people who knew him. She knew that he felt very low around the anniversary increasingly lonely.
They sat together on his settee and Alison was surprised Eric began to cry. Instinctively she hugged him as he sobbed about his wife, how alone he felt and how much he missed her sex and the pleasure she gave to him. Alison wasn't alarmed and tried to understand what a grieving elderly man felt including his sexual loss.
Eric had not meant to mention his marital sex life to her but felt huge burden lifted to be loved and listened to by his young neighbour.
Alison held his hand as he stopped crying and he felt better. He hoped he hadn't shocked her by mentioning sex to her but Alison said he should talk whenever he needed to about that part of their love shared during marriage.
