Part 7. Rita Requests
Chapter 16. Sylvia Springs Another Surprise
The encounter petered out after the saddle video extravaganza. Both Sylvia and I were tired and emotionally played out after our horse-riding exertions. She wanted an early night, meaning sleeping alone, so I decided to drive home, frustrated but with my mind buzzing.
I needed to know whether her adventurous horse ride had changed anything in her body or mind. I looked forward to our next one-to-one encounter and the chance to find out. Then I would claim my promised reward.
It was never to happen.
I drove home in the honey-tinted light of that late summer's evening, filled with thoughts of elation and foreboding. Sylvia had achieved her ambition, an orgasm by her fantasised method. I had departed, left wanting. I desired Sylvia's body more and more, even if our relationship did not develop in other ways.
But fears set in as I drove. I pondered whether her admiration of her own body in the mirror and getting turned on by it, was more of an attraction to her than my body. If she was autosexual, her liberating horse ride might change nothing. If our relationship continued, I could be faced with the perennial challenge of finding wrist-wearying ways to satisfy her sexual needs.
I was certainly more than willing to feed off her visual delights. Would the physical price be so bad? Silicone based vibrators had not yet been developed. Metal ones were in their crude infancy. So practical mechanical means were not available to us. Failing more dildo-centred horse rides, arduous masturbation might be the only way. At least I had proven that it worked, though not without tremendous and debilitating effort on my part.

A few days later, she phoned me one evening at home. I was delighted to hear her voice, until she dropped a bombshell.
I had intended to call her, to suggest that we get together again. She pre-empted me, with devastating effect.
"Hi Simon. How are you?"
A perfunctorily polite conversation followed. The niceties having then been observed, she delivered earth-shattering news, at least as far as I was concerned.
"I've been offered a job, with the European Union in Brussels. It's with the European Court of Auditors. They need to maintain their British quota, so they were happy to take me, even without a full professional qualification."
"Wow, that's... that's... very good for you. When do you go?"
"Whenever I want. My current employers are happy for me to resign without notice; that feeling's mutual. I can take up the job as soon as I'm ready. I've found temporary lodgings in Brussels, so I'm all set to go."
My blood ran cold. Her news was a profound shock to me, not least because she had to have known of the possibility when I was helping her to realise her ambition. I wanted to say, what about me? But that would have sound churlish, and selfish. I just needed to test her resolve.
"So when will you go?"
"About a week's time. I've already made arrangements to sell my furniture. My house is in the hands of an agent. I can mostly deal with the sale remotely. I'll send my personal possessions to my mother to store for me. I'll be travelling light at first. So I guess this is it."
"This is what?"
"I suppose it's goodbye."
"What! Can't I come and see you before you leave?"
"Is your son with you this weekend?"
"Yes, unfortunately, and my wife would never agree to change that at such short notice. She wouldn't do me any favours."
"Well, I'll leave next week, probably on Tuesday. I'll be travelling on Eurostar, all expenses paid, so I can be flexible. Can you take time off?"
"I could, but I wouldn't have much time with you, if I'm to get home for my son after school."
"OK, well, er, I guess this is it, then. I'll contact you when I'm settled in Brussels. Maybe you can come over and see me there?"

It appeared that all those unanswered questions about us were to remain unanswered for the time being. I thought several times over the next few days about telephoning her again, but I wasn't sure what I could say, or ask. Persuading her out of her decision was out of the question. Even then, I wasn't sure that we had the basis for a normal relationship. Perhaps this was for the best?
The day came for her departure. We had not spoken again and she did not send me her contact details. For the first time in my life I felt an utter void.
I digitised the videos of her belly dance strip and her naked horse-riding, and edited them into quite decent movies. I saved them into chapters, each of which had an erotic highlight, for me to enjoy separately. Each chapter was about ten minutes, about enough time for me to pump myself dry of sperm on each occasion, and have plenty of others in reserve, for variety.
There were many climaxes (but few for Sylvia), but the greatest of all was that momentous ride on her dildo. I could hardly believe that she had done it, despite being there and filming it myself. But it was most definitely illicit porn, which I could never risk showing to anyone. I never spoke of it to anyone either. But word was still to get out...
I got a Christmas card from her, but without an address. Sylvia had met Florian, a Swede, and moved in with him. They were apparently happy together. That drew a definite, very thick line under our relationship.
Chapter 17. Someone Else Requests A Viewing
I got a call in the New Year, from a number I didn't recognise.
"Hello, is that Simon?"
It was a deep, velvety, feminine voice.
"Yes, that's me."
"I'm Rita. We've never met. I'm sure Sylvia told you about me. She left some boxes with me for her mother to collect. She never has. Sylvia suggested that maybe you could pick them up and deliver them to her. What do you think?"
"I haven't heard from Sylvia since she went to Brussels. I think any relationship we might have had is over. I don't know her mother, though I hear she's a bit of a dragon."
"You're not wrong. I don't get on with her anymore. We were friends once, but no longer. She wouldn't receive me now, but maybe she'll agree to see you. She has no reason to dislike you. So, what do you think?"
I didn't want to even entertain the idea. My feelings towards Sylvia were still raw, nearly a year on from our adventure. Rita sensed my reluctance.
"Simon, look, Sylvia wanted you to do this for her but was afraid to ask. I have a suggestion. She told me a great deal about you. I must admit I'm kinda interested to see you for myself, and I'd like to see the video -"
"She told you about that?"
I was aghast that she even knew about them.
"Sure, why not? She wanted to see it as well, but it wasn't possible to arrange it before she left, what with your looking after your son and all. She told me all about it on the telephone. I was on holiday in the Canaries at the time. I didn't get to say goodbye to her properly either.
"You don't know me, but we have Sylvia in common. As I said, I'd like to see your video. You could show it to me."
"Did you have an affair with her?"
