In the morning we were up quite early. The rain had stopped, and after dressing I went down to the kitchen to make coffee and croissants. The door to the little living room was still closed, just as we'd left it. I was careful not to make too much noise. Tishy came down shortly after, in her bathrobe, and we had breakfast together, outside on the bench in the little garden.
"Did you look in on our guest?" she asked.
"No, I thought I'd let him sleep," I replied.
"Let's go and take a peep."
We tiptoed inside the house, and slowly opened the door to the sitting room. The curtains were still closed, with a single shaft of light cutting across the room. It took a while for our eyes to get accustomed to the darkness.
He was asleep on the sofa. The blanket had slipped to the floor, and he was naked except for a pair of white briefs, illuminated by the light through the curtains. The briefs were tight, and the outline of his swollen dick, trapped to one side, was perfectly obvious. Morning wood.
"Oh my," breathed Tishy. "What a beauty."
He was indeed quite the sleeping Adonis -- more man than boy -- perhaps in his mid-twenties. He obviously took good care of his body. And his main asset was perfectly displayed.
"Let's not wake him just yet," I whispered, and we closed the door gently. Back outside in the garden she exhaled slowly.
"Like a gift from heaven," she said. I smiled.
"I guess he'll sleep in 'til lunchtime -- he must be exhausted after his ordeal in the rain last night. When he wakes up, tell him I'll be home soon."
"Why, where are you going?" my wife asked, anxiously.
"We have a few errands, remember? We need more milk, and the cards need to go in the post. You don't mind staying behind, do you?" It was my turn to give her one of those looks.
"No, of course not," she answered shyly, "I'm sure I can handle him."
"Well, be good," I said, giving her a peck on the cheek, and set off.
Coming out of the Post Office, my thoughts with Ben asleep on our sofa, I bumped into the barmaid from the pub the night before. Almost literally. She gave me that wonderful smile, a twinkle in her blue eyes. "Well, hello," she said. "Fancy meeting you here."
"Indeed yes -- a serendipity," I said, all confused -- feeling caught out.
"That's one of my favourite words," she replied, gracefully.
"I'm Jim," I said, recovering.
"Mary," she replied, "Pleased to meet you, Jim," and we were soon laughing and chatting, about this and that, and the other. In fact, we got on rather well. "Let's go and sit on the sea front," she suggested eventually -- "It's lovely this early, before the ice cream van arrives." Of course I agreed.
It was a delight to walk with her. Once in a while I sneaked a glance at her cleavage, now supported by a push up bra under a sleeveless top. A full knee length skirt.completed her outfit. I wondered what might be underneath it.
We found a bench overlooking the harbour. The tide was out, and the seagulls screeched around the beached fishing boats. Even the sun put in an appearance. We sat down to take in the scene, and there was a lull in the conversation. She clearly wanted something of me, but I wasn't sure what.
"I can't work it out -- was that your wife or your sister with you last night?" Mary finally asked.
I was rather taken aback. "Why, my wife, of course -- Tishy," I answered. "Why do you ask?"
I couldn't tell whether Mary was surprised, pleased, or disappointed. "She's so beautiful, and charismatic," she said quietly, and then added "And such a flirt -- the guys were eating out of her hand."
This was an interesting image. "Yes," I said, "She loves to play with young lads."
"But Jim, don't you mind?" Mary blurted out, looking at me as if I was insane.
"No," I said quietly, "Of course not -- why would I mind? It makes her happy -- and if she's happy, I'm happy too. It's simple really. I know she loves me, so why would I mind her having some fun?"
She thought for a moment. "What a lovely way to see things -- I hadn't thought about it like that. And there was silly me, feeling sorry for you."
"No need to feel sorry for me -- I'm the luckiest man alive."
"Are you not worried she might be unfaithful.... and get pregnant?" was her next question.
"I'd love it if she got pregnant," I replied straightaway. "We've always wanted a baby -- it just never happened."
She paused, for thought. "Are you gay?" she asked.
"No, Mary, I'm not gay," I said. "At least, I don't think so. If I was, I wouldn't be flirting with such a pretty young lady as yourself."
At this she smiled, flattered. I could almost see the wheels turning in her head. "So," she said, how does it work? -- does she let you have fun with girls?"
"Of course -- why not? I'm having plenty of fun right now."
"So what will you tell Tishy when you get home?"
"I'll tell her that I met the very pretty barmaid in the village, and we had a lovely time on a bench by the harbour in the sunshine," I said.
Mary flushed crimson, and bent forwards to hide her face. Recovering her composure, she looked me in the eyes. "Will you tell her that you keep looking down my top?" she asked, earnestly.
"Yes," I said, "I'll tell her you have lovely tits." Now it was her turn to look confused.
"Stop it!" she said, laughing now -- "You're as bad as she is!"
"Of course," I said -- "She's my wife, after all."
At this we both laughed. Her tits shook when she laughed. "I can't get over how relaxed you are about all this," she said, "It makes me feel so uptight -- I could never be so -- open."
"So you'd never let your boyfriend flirt with other girls?" I asked.
"I don't have a boyfriend -- we broke up a few weeks ago."
"Oh I'm sorry. Why was that?" I asked -- "Was he unfaithful?"
"No," she said, "He was lovely. I just couldn't give him what he wanted." She looked upset, and I wondered whether I'd gone too far.
"I'm sure you could give any man what he wanted..." I said, gently.
"You're very kind, but you don't understand -- I get so tense when a man touches me -- down there. I think there must be something wrong with me." This in a whisper. There were tears in her eyes.
I handed her my hanky. Fortunately, it was pretty clean. I always get embarrassed when girls cry. "I'm very sorry, Mary" I said, putting my hand on her bare arm. Her skin was wonderfully soft. "I shouldn't have been so forward."
She sniffled, looked at me with red eyes, and laughed. "You must think I'm a real nutcase," she said.
Of course, this thought had indeed crossed my mind. "No," I said, dishonestly. "Don't be silly. You just need to relax and stop worrying about everything so much."
"I know," she said, "I just need to let go, lose control. I'm such a control freak." And she threw her head back and screamed silently, up at the seagulls, who screamed back.
"Perhaps you should have a chat with Tishy," I suggested -- "Girl talk." Which reminded me that I'd left my wife alone in the cottage -- with temptation.
"Perhaps I should," she said, and blew her nose in my hanky.
"Look," I said, "I have to hurry home now -- but we'll see each other again I hope -- perhaps in the pub?"
"Sure," she said, sadly. "I work Monday to Thursday this week -- off on Friday."
With that I reluctantly left her, and dashed off back to the cottage. Because of Mary, time had flown, and I was a little nervous -- it seemed irresponsible to have left Tishy alone so long with a guy we hardly knew.
I arrived home, and slipped in quietly. There was nobody in the kitchen, and I noticed that Tishy had taken down Ben's things, and folded them in a neat pile on the table. The door to the sitting room was wide open -- but there was nobody there either.
I thought I could hear her voice upstairs, so I crept up the narrow staircase, as quietly as I could, my heart beating wildly. The bedroom door was open, and there she was sitting at the dressing table, in her robe, with her back to me, combing out her long, wet hair, and singing softly to herself.
So where was Ben? Then I noticed his bare feet -- he was lying on the bed behind the door to my left, again with his back to me. With a bit more effort I could just see his lower half -- his head was hidden behind the door, presumably on the pillows. He was still wearing the tight white briefs.
But what really caught my attention was that he was running his hand along the length of what was clearly a very hard prick. And then I realised why -- he could see my wife's reflection in the mirror on the dressing table. Her robe was fully open at the front, her lovely knockers enjoying the morning air. No wonder he was so stiff!
