Thelma arrived from Dubbo just before noon. Duke, wearing only shorts, wondered should he offer her tea but she kissed him, rather like an elderly aunt, and said her tongue was hanging out; did he have beer?
"Yeah come and look through the house and then take a couple of cans down to the spa pool in the garden shed. Naturally the heater is switched off."
"Why are you being uncivil and not joining me?"
"I prefer being nude in a spa."
"Well so do I so what's the problem? You'll have to get used to seeing me walking around nude so why not start with full exposure on day one?"
"Okay."
She looked sympathetic. "What's the matter?"
"For some reason I thought having sex with you would be unlikely."
"God Duke, can't you go into a pool with a woman without thinking sex?"
"No."
"Or seeing a bit of bared tit or ass?"
"No."
She laughed and said he'd better be ready to be trained in the art of restraint.
"So you're not mad at me being like that?"
"No darling, I realize you are male, but you can forget about having sex with me."
Duke said indignantly, "That's what I suggested at the beginning of this conversation."
"Oh yes, so you did. You know I really didn't expect to have interesting conversations with you."
Duke had no answer for that. "Your car is dusty. I'll clean the exterior for you at sunset."
"In that case I'll clear away after dinner. I admire your cooperative spirit. Obviously your mother trained you well."
"Are you as old as my mother?"
She giggled and said he was such a tease, that she was forty-one.
Later in the garden shed Thelma said admiringly, "You have made the interior of this old shed look quite palatial just like your house. I have nothing but admiration for you."
"Thanks," Duke said, dropping his shorts and staring defiantly at Thelma who just smiled. As he settled into the pool she said, "If you get a boner watching me undress don't worry. I've seen many over the years."
"I'll close my eyes."
"Don't bother," she said, and ignored him as she began unbuttoning the front of her thin summer dress.
This was the moment Duke enjoyed with a new woman... to see what she had. They all had a slit and tits but were packaged differently. Thelma's long black hair had a white streak coloured over her forehead and the white dissipated toward the top of her crown. She was quite pretty with dark green eyes and a full mouth that could only be described as very kissable. She was almost as tall as he was but would be much lighter. She removed the dress, exposing flesh bulging at the sides of quite a large bra and she had the rounded belly of an older woman. She obviously shaved under her armpits. Her upper thighs were rather heavy and Duke took in the full peach shaped pussy framed under her tight and cute panties.
He watched expectedly as she reached behind to unhook her bra.
She noticed his intent gaze and said, soundly slightly embarrassed, "They flop."
"Good," he croaked, not meaning to croak.
She looked startled and then dropped them.
They were real beauts and Duke had a great urge to tell her but used, er, restraint, thinking she'd probably appreciate that.
She stepped out of her panties awkwardly as to be expected and Duke saw the black bush was neatly clipped. He looked up to see her watching him.
He stood, unabashed at displaying a half erection, and held out his hand to help her step down on to the inbuilt seat.
"Thank you," she said, offering no comment about him being fully shaved.
He pulled a couple of tinnies from the esky (portable cooler) and tossed one to her. She caught it deftly and the wobble of her tits send his dick into full erection.
She startled him with her next comment. "May we do this every evening before dinner?"
"Yeah, good idea."
"Your cat loves you."
"Yeah Misty has no one else."
"And you do?"
"Women find me more than I find them."
Duke watched as she poured beer into her mouth, quite sure her nipples had become more prominent. Hmmmm.
"I wonder why I'm not surprised women find you attractive?"
He knew he was not expected to reply to that.
Thelma had chosen the bedroom directly opposite Duke's and he'd half-expected her to come padding across to his bed during the night. But she didn't. He wondered if she had cancer or a serious STD.
A couple of days later he reasoned she was just not sexually interested in him.
But why not? He asked Misty but she chose not to reply. Well cats can be jealous.
Gretchen and Bevan invited them to dinner on Thursday night, Debra and Rogan had them over for dinner on Saturday night and Gina and Carlo had everyone over for a barbie lunch on Sunday.
"I really like your three mothers," Thelma said drunkenly on Sunday as Duke undressed her and put her to bed.
"Debra enjoys talking to you."
"That's because I talk to her about babies. I've had children and I was the eldest in my family of five and the next one to follow me didn't arrive until I had started primary school so I became used to helping mom with her babies. Dad left her when I was sixteen and that's when she began working as a prostitute. Years later I was working long hours, earning big money, and I helped her with finance to buy a brothel. I still lived at home and at that stage and we all shifted into the third floor of the brothel and I took the role of mother. We had our own staircase that opened on to the street. We all had a key and never experienced any unpleasant incidents."
"That is a most interesting story. Good night," Duke said, kissing her on the lips for the first time.
"Do you want to have sex?"
Ah, so the moment had arrived. But he hesitated and asked, "Do you?"
"Not really but go right ahead."
