Parking at the restaurant, Becky and Tim looked at each other, both wondering what lie ahead. Becky shrugged and said, "It is what it is. We best find out." They walked in and spotted Bill at a corner table in the back.
As they approached the table, Bill stood. Putting his hand on Becky's hip he kissed her on the lips. Then he turned to Tim, putting out his hand and saying, "Good to see you again, Tim."
Tim shook Bill's hand and said "Same here, Bill. I hope we didn't keep you waiting too long."
"Not at all. I know you had a longer drive than I did. We're good."
They all sat as the waitress come over for their drink orders. Becky asked for a Bloody Mary and Tim splurged on a Boddingtons, rationalizing that just one with a meal wouldn't jeopardize either his diet or driving.
"So, how did things go?" Bill directed the question to either or both.
Tim looked at Becky and cocked one eyebrow. She nodded and answered Bill with "Very well, thank you. I assume you don't want details but yes, we had sex. How do you feel about that?"
"Was it good? Did you enjoy it? Did you have an orgasm?" Bill replied.
"Yes, yes, and yes. So how do you feel about that?" Becky repeated.
"Fantastic! I couldn't be happier for you, Becks, and I couldn't be more grateful to you,Tim! As soon as you walked in I saw a glow on Becky's face I haven't seen in more than five years. It thrills my heart to know that the woman I love has gotten something she's needed and missed for so long."
"Bill, you are an inspiration. I don't know any other man who would be so supportive of what Becky has done. I'm gobsmacked," Tim told him.
"Thank you, Tim. And did you enjoy things as well," Bill asked.
"As I told you the first time we talked, your wife is a beautiful, sexy women. I now know she is also sensuous and enthusiastic. I don't recall the last time I was so fortunate to have such a delightful partner. I hope that isn't crossing a line," Tim replied.
'Not in the least. Let's clear the air. I love knowing that you are fulfilling Becky's sexual needs. I'll probably ask her for some details when we get home - I wouldn't embarrass you by discussing those in front of you, Tim. But I sincerely hope the two of you plan to continue and I'll do whatever I need to support that," Bill declared.
"Yes, honey, with your approval we do want to continue. We just need to figure out scheduling, if you will," Becky answered.
"Well, I don't know how this fits into your schedule, Tim, but I get therapy every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning. And we can talk about other times as well, if needed," Bill said.
"Tuesday I usually go to Planet Fitness for cardio then do my grocery shopping at ingle's. I could move those to the afternoon. Thursday is open and most Saturdays are as well. My British car club often has a ride one Saturday each month but the other three are typically free," Tim explained.
"Great!" Bill said. "So you two can get together at least three times a week. And from here on out you needn't rush to make sure Becks gets home the same time I finish therapy. Tim, have you ever had deep tissue massage?"
"Yes, I had an issue with my left arm years ago. DTM hurts!" Tim said.
"Yup, like a bitch. Today I was imagining what you two were doing and I smiled during the massage. My physiologist thought I was nuts!" Bill laughed. "Point being, Becky's pleasure and happiness have always been the most important things to me. Since I can't give her the physical pleasure she needs, I'm thrilled to be able to facilitate it. I did have one request, though, Tim."
"Anything,"Tim said.
"I'd really like it if you get your member tattooed 'Bill'. That way it would be like I'm the one doing her," he grinned.
Initially shocked, Tim quickly realized Bill was kidding. "Sorry, Bill. I'm phobic about needles, no way I'll have have a tattoo anywhere and certainly not there!"
They all laughed and, after the pizza was delivered, dug in. Once lunch was finished, and Bill insisted on paying the check, they left and walked out to their cars. Becky hugged Tim tightly, then kissed his cheek. Tim returned both the hug and the kiss and then said, "See you Saturday?"
"Count on it," Becky said smiling. Tim and Bill shook hands and bid their farewells then they all got into their cars and drove off.
Over the next few months they settled into a routine, and a friendship. Most weeks Becky came to Tim's cabin every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. He'd even given her a key, in case she chose to turn up early, which she sometimes did. He loved when he woke to find her naked body next to his. The one thing they both hated was the inability to spend the entire night together, but doing so would be insulting to Bill, and neither would consider it. Becky would not so offend her husband and Tim would not insult the man who had become his friend and sometime mentor.
They did arrange to bend the rules slightly. Becky joined Tim on a couple of car club rides and even attended a few luncheon meetings. She was introduced as a friend and since she wore a wedding ring and he had none, no questions were asked. The club members were all in their late 60s or older, conservative, and had no problem accepting that adults of different genders could be just friends. Little did they know.
Becky actually facilitated that opinion. She quickly found that she had a strong interest in classic cars and peppered the members with questions about their particular model. It didn't take her long to begin to choose favorites. He was thrilled that she, too, admired the Austin Healey's most, even though he never expected to be able to afford one.
On the ride back from a club ride, Becky broached a sensitive subject. "Tim, you really enjoy Savannah, don't you?"
"Yes, it's one of my three favorite cities to visit. Why?"
"How long has it been since you've gone there?" she asked.
"Jeeze, at least three or four years. I do know that my favorite bar is closed now and it was open last time I was there," he answered.
"What made it your favorite?"
"They had over one hundred different single malt scotch brands. They have a second location down in Richmond Hill but I've never been and I know it's in a strip mall, so the ambiance must be much different," he told her.
"So why haven't you gone back in all those years," she asked.
"Not as much fun alone and I have Tess to deal with," he explained.
"What if we could solve both those issues," she asked.
"How?"
"I've talked to Bill. I told him both of us would like to spend the entire night together. He said, if you're going to do it, do it right. Not just one night but two or three. He suggested we should think about going away for a weekend," she explained.
"Wow! That seems like quite a shift in perspective, considering we can't even kiss on the lips!"
"Tim, you need to understand. Bill's health keeps declining. The doctors are now saying he likely won't have more than six months and probably less. To be honest, I think he's trying to set us up. He doesn't want me to be alone after he goes," she confessed.
"I suspect you're right. How do you feel about that," he asked.
"Tim, you know I adore you. If we were to end up together once I'm a widow, I'm sure I'd be very happy about that. And I love Bill for worrying about me. But I will need time to grieve once he passes, not just jump from his bed to yours."
"Absolutely, I wouldn't have it any other way. Just know I'll be here for both of you. Whatever you each need you only have to ask."
"Thank you. I am going to ask something. It is very important to Bill that you and I go away for a long weekend. I would like to take you to Savannah. I want us to make love as much as we can, fall asleep and wake up together. But we have to be clear - that doesn't guarantee that we will end up together after Bill passes. Que serΓ‘ serΓ‘."
"Whatever will be, will be. I agree. Okay, if you're certain this is what you want to do, I'm in. But what did you mean when you said you want to take me to Savannah?"
"I meant it's on Bill and I. We'll pay for everything."
"Nope, that won't work. Let's split it. One covers the hotel, the other handles meals and stuff," Tim proposed.
"Okay, I'll get the hotel, you can cover the incidentals," Becky agreed.
Two weeks later, Tim changed out of his workout clothes and took a shower at Planet Fitness then dressed and picked up Becky at her house in town. Bill had relaxed the rules so they could kiss on the lips, but asked them to refrain from frenching. Naturally they complied.
