Part 3 – Gary
By the next weekend Judith's disgust had considerable lessened, so much so that on the Saturday she found herself watching out of her front window to see if Gary took his usual run. It was a dismal day, the sort that normally deÂpressed her, but she brightened when, after a time, she saw him in his running gear heading out into the rain for a morning jog. She did not envy him; runÂning had not been her thing since school, though she had actually been quite good: no, nowadays the gym for exercise at lunchtimes was her routine. Judith did, though, admire the figure in the running gear and was careful to keep an eye out for his return. She met him on the landing outside his flat; actually by design but giving every appearance of it being accidental as if she was just going down the stairs to go out; he was soaked but clearly not at all cold, inÂdeed clutched in his hand was a nearly empty water bottle.
"Hallo," she said, "good run?"
"Oh, hallo Judith, yes I... blast I've left my key down there in the front door, 'scuse."
And, placing his water bottle on the banister by his flat, went running back down the stairs. The opportunity was too good to miss and Judith ditched her plan of asking him to go and get a paper from the corner shop for her as it was raining before inviting him for coffee and, instead, had the top of the water bottle unscrewed and a pill dropped in within seconds.
There was a pounding on the stairs and Gary was back. He seemed surÂprised to see Judith still there.
"You must get really hot running—even in the rain?"
Gary agreed and took a swig from the bottle.
"I used to run," she went on as Gary took a further swig, "but never carÂried a water bottle."
"It's important," replied Gary and he went on to explain why and in the process, finished his water.
"Look I must go for a shower, good talking to you."
Judith was not sure how long the pill took to have effect. She had to keep him talking.
"Well I hope your shower works better than mine. Mine is either too hot or too cold, I think it's broken."
Gary was caught between the desire to have his shower and get on with the morning and his natural instinct to show off to a woman, even a middle aged woman like Judith, to show he could either fix it or (more likely) she had got it all wrong anyway.
"Shall I have a look?"
Of course there was very little wrong with Judith's shower.
"I expect you are turning the hot or cold tap on too much, you'd be better with a proper thermostatic mixer like mine."
It was Gary's mistake, he gave Judith the opportunity to ask to be shown and so she found herself in Gary's flat, in the very bathroom, indeed at the shower cubicle where she had seen him naked through the window, naked with his big erection.
Judith was sure the pill would be having its effect by then, if it was going to work at all—certainly it had worked on Keith.
"What a lovely bathroom, Gary, and what a big shower. It is deep isn't it? I suppose that means you don't need to have a door or a shower curtain. Such bothersome things, if you don't dry them out they get mouldy. That looks comÂplicated. I don't think I could work that. How does it work? Oh you'd better take off your running shoes before you get into the cubicle, you'll make it all muddy and take off your socks as well or they will get wet... or should I say wetÂter!"
Judith was pleased to see Gary complying, was that the pill or just taking her instruction as commonsense advice? Gary turned on the shower and exÂplained.
Judith said, "I'm sorry I can't quite see, you're in the way, it'd be so much easier if you were further into the shower. Get in please."
Gary stepped under the water and stood to the side so she could see. It didn't matter to him getting his running gear wet in the shower; it was already wet and was destined for the washing machine.
Judith saw herself as so close and risked a big jump, "Now that's plain silly! No one showers in their clothes, if you're going to show me, show me properly. Come on and get those wet running things off now."
Gary's hand went to his shirt. It looked like the incredible pill was workÂing. There was, though, a bit of a hesitation.
"Go on. It's not as if I haven't seen a naked young man before." It was a risk, Gary could have told her where to go: but he didn't, he did what he was told.
"You're quite right Judith, what was I thinking of?" And with that he pulled off his shirt.
Judith smiled, the pill had worked! Now to see those shorts come off.
Gary's hand went to the waistband and undid the shorts and slipped them down his legs leaving him in just a jock strap. Judith thought he looked good in just that but was not unhappy when that too came off and there he was—Gary the naked male covered, as she recalled, quite remarkably in dark hair; Judith took in his hairy arms, his hairy chest, his tight buttocks with a sprinkling of dark hairs and, of course, his penis hanging against his testicles in its nest of dark, dark hair. The water was running over him, running everyÂwhere and Judith was not really listening to what he was saying about the shower instead she was ogling his body.
"I'm sorry Gary; I really don't understand what you are talking about. Let me get in with you and I'm sure it'll be much clearer if I've got my hands on it."
"No, no you don't need to do that. You'll get all wet." Gary was panicking.
Judith thought Gary was probably a little late in that remark, she was alÂready getting wet.
"Yes I do, Gary, you'd rather I did that." Judith was firm; she did not want this going wrong.
"Well, I suppose it'd be easier." Despite his acceptance of the logic he stood there with his mouth open as Judith began to remove her clothes.
She did it carefully, not overtly as a strip tease but certainly not quickly as she would do undressing for bed. She wished to elicit a response, so the reÂmoval of her bra was not casual and quick but with a slight pause just before the display of her breasts, a slight hesitation to perhaps excite Gary, give his mind time to imagine what he would see—to will her on. The breasts spilled out of her bra cups and she let the bra drop to the floor. Judith knew her breasts would impress, they were ample; she was careful to let them sway, inÂdeed jiggle as she straightened up. She looked at Gary, was there a response, perhaps just a twitch? She took a step towards the shower clad only in her panties. Judith had his attention, "Should I... perhaps it would be better if I left these on," she paused as if thinking as Gary stared at them, "no, no they will only get wet." Slowly she rolled them down her thighs revealing to Gary her generous and rather unruly bush. His interest was evident, a movement, a thickening and a worried glance downwards and then Judith was with him under the shower. Two bodies in the warm falling water.
"Now, explain again."
There Gary was, trying to explain and indicate with his hands despite the presence of Judith's ample breasts inches from both the shower controls and his hands. Worse, for him, as Judith moved to try the controls, one of her breasts brushed against his arm, he could feel the nipple, and a thigh lightly touched his thigh. He simply could not ignore the presence of a naked rather voluptuous woman there in the shower with him, talking away, asking quesÂtions and with that breast lightly bouncing against his arm.
