Anne and I were enjoying a good life in early retirement, if you count having a lovely home and more than enough money to live on as a good life. Having made more than enough money from my mortgage brokerage business I sold up but stayed on as a consultant employee to the new owners as part of the lucrative financial deal I'd negotiated, a golden handcuffs if you like. This was for three years, during which time I was essentially free to come and go from the business as I pleased, play a lot of golf but be available if needed to advise the new owners. Leaving day came, I was now retired, aged fifty-five at the time, and Anne was fifty-six.
As for sex between Anne and I, we seemed to have got out of the habit in our later years. She didn't ask, so I didn't demand it from her. After all, Anne was a busy grandmother with her interests, involved with the local village Women's Institute and volunteering in a few local charity shops close to her heart, besides regularly visiting and babysitting our grandchild. She was what you'd call an ultra-respectable lady in the prime of life, much loved and respected by colleagues, family and friends. She would never put a foot wrong. Anne never mentioned she missed sex, so for well over a year we did not indulge.
Our only daughter, Melanie, was in a turbulent relationship with a guy she had been involved with since school so now aged twenty-four she had been on and off with him for 10 years. They had gifted us a wonderful grandchild but it was obvious they were having trouble keeping their relationship together. He'd done well for himself and was working in the City as an investment banker, in a very laddish culture and Mel had discovered he was fucking his secretary. They had previously booked a luxury cruise around the Mediterranean but since she didn't want to go with him the tickets had been offered to Anne & myself. I didn't particularly want to go but Anne was very keen, she needed a chance to recharge her batteries and according to colleagues at the charity shop, a cruise would offer an opportunity to have lots of fun and make new friends. So that was that, we would be going.
The ship was a luxurious, brand-new liner and we had spacious premier-class accommodation with an en-suite bathroom and a king-size bed in our cabin, plus a well-stocked drinks cabinet.
The first night at sea I joined a poker table in the casino and more than held my own with the other players until dawn, enjoying the thrill of gambling when you can afford it. I decided the cruise wouldn't be so bad after all, with excellent food and good company to pass the time.
Anne would do her own thing as ever. There was a cinema, a library, a good gym, a chapel, and lots of sun-loungers, both public and on our large secluded balcony which had its own private access off the first-class deck. I told myself she'd find plenty of ways to amuse herself, her needs were modest.
On the first morning, we were gently awakened by our steward knocking and entering with orange juice and a tray of tea and toast. Like most of the crews nowadays he was foreign, a tall, very dark-skinned young man from West Africa. The badge on the lapel of his starched white steward's jacket said his name was Benjamin Amadou. He beamed a smile of straight white teeth, he was softly spoken but he had an invisible air of confidence that was hard to ignore. From the first morning, he was so polite and well-spoken in his good English.
Over the next few days, Benjamin was most attentive, bringing fresh drinks and ice, coffee, clean sheets and towels, always on hand to make our lives comfortable. I guessed he was angling for a big tip at the end of the cruise. We found he was only twenty-two years old and working away to support his extended family in Cameroon, he'd left a few years ago to go to the United States as he was training to be an athlete, a track sprinter and that was where the finest colleges and coaches were to be found. He'd worked hard at his athletics his height and physique lent themselves to his chosen goal but a persistent injury to his knee had curtailed his dream of representing his country on the world stage. However, the time he'd spent learning his excellent English while at college wasn't wasted, he moved to Europe to be closer to home and was able to get himself a job with the cruise company, initially in the kitchen but progressing to being a premier-class cabin steward due to his attention to detail and his happy to serve attitude. 'I'm fortunate that I get such good reviews back to my supervisor at the end of all my cruises' he had told us.
'I have no doubt you do' Anne had told him with a smile.
The way he attended to Anne made me happy, he was always on hand to make her comfortable despite the heavy heat of the Mediterranean sun. She lapped up the attention from her sun lounger, happy to have a good-looking, physically strong boy fawning over her. Enjoying the cruise, she did not once complain that I hardly spent any time with her. Every night when I quietly, and just a little drunk, came back to our cabin just as the sun was starting to rise, Anne was always in a deep sleep, not stirring at all as I crept into bed, unusual for my wife who was always a very light sleeper, but I was grateful not to be in trouble so I never commented on it in the morning.
I was so far winning more than five hundred pounds per night through all-night sessions at the poker table and wanted to continue. Then came the night I lost it all, no big deal, but I'd had enough. I went out on deck and on the promenade walk, I breathed in the good salt air and admired the stars overhead in a dark velvet sky. I strolled past couples smooching in dark corners, under the lifeboats and felt aroused, thinking what I needed was a good fuck.
Finding myself outside the access gate of our balcony, I saw a dim light from our room and let myself in to see if Anne was there. If so, I'd go in, romance her a bit, and fuck her. She was after all attractive still, with short blonde hair, glasses, petite at five-three, 121lb and well-formed with good size round breasts that had cost me several thousand pounds a couple of years ago in Harley Street, and a firm bum, really a sexy wife.
I couldn't have got onto our balcony through the gate without knowing the access code. It was set by us on our arrival, to let us in while preventing outsiders from getting onto our balcony. Looking through the huge patio window I saw Anne just out of the shower beside the bed starting to dress, probably getting ready for some evening entertainment, as ever hanging her discarded clothes on hangers and putting them away in the wardrobe. It was fascinating, a real turn-on, to observe her like this, the thrill of seeing her when she's unguarded and natural. I watched her choose her bra and panties carefully, taking them from a bag that had several different styles. To my surprise, i realised they'd all been purchased from the fine lingerie store on the ship, she'd decided she wanted to impress me by buying some new sexy underwear, I guessed several hundred pounds worth, giving a soft whistle through my teeth.
I'd seen her undressed hundreds of times of course, but never like this, my cock was uncomfortably hard in my trousers and I was full of lust at the sight of my wife.
Rooted to the spot, I could have left to join her but that wouldn't have had the same effect. A lacy white bra overflowed with ample white tit, two small cups of the garment cut down almost to the nipples, revealing the deep cleavage and the enticing fullness of breasts nestled tightly together by their size. Below she wore a tiny white thong, showing her cunt bulge, barely covered by the sheer material. Anne always kept her pussy hair free, shaving the lips and the pubic mound every day. Her pussy was visible through the nearly transparent material, and as she turned to walk across the cabin for her kimono I saw the thin strip of silk disappearing between her firm arse cheeks, and that her rounded arse was displayed as good as bare, just a strip of the silk dividing the moons of her arse. It looked so enticing and perfect, that rounded bum, I would have shuffled behind her on my knees kissing the ample flesh. White hold-up stockings completed the vision of absolute beauty my wife radiated.
'You are for it tonight, my girl', I silently promised her. I'd forgotten what a lush bed partner she'd been, such a responsive lover that gave everything back when I mounted her and moulded into my heaving flanks.
