This is a long story, it's not subtle, it's a little unbelievable, but it's been a lot of fun to write and imagine. Please enjoy!

I was browsing Facebook when I noticed that an old friend I'd lost touch with was looking for recommendations for cheap places to visit in Germany.
I'd met Anna years ago, shortly after getting married. I was happily married, but I guess sometimes it's nice to explore the grass on the other side of the fence. Nothing had ever happened between us, save for in my mind. At the time she was probably 20 - 10 years younger than me. She was slim, blonde, with lovely blue eyes and a really trim figure. She wasn't exactly athletic but she did a lot of canoeing and sailing and the like, which kept her nicely in shape. She had quite small breasts, but they had a lovely shape to them and looked nice and firm.
She would often wear little dresses with a top and leggings underneath. She loved playing with young kids which meant I often saw her sitting on the floor in quite un-ladylike poses. I got a lot of masturbation material from gazing at the leggings stretched across her young pussy mound.
Time moved on, we moved out of town, and I lost touch with her, save for the occasional social media posts she made. My work often took me to Germany, so I decided to weigh in with some recommendations, but I took them straight to DM!
"Hi Anna, it's been a while! How are you doing? I guess you're planning a trip to Germany? Berlin is a must visit, of course, but if you're looking for something a little different then have a look at Karlsruhe, Mainz, Koblenz and Cologne. I've enjoyed those places a great deal over the years and can probably help with the money saving aspect. When are you going? If you happen to be in Cologne at the same time as me (I am there on business quite frequently), then it would be lovely to meet for a beer or two. Let me know."
A couple of days later I got a reply.
"Hey Bill, really great to hear from you. Yes it's been ages! I've just broken up with my fella and I need to get away from home for a while to get over it. My Dad bought me a month long train ticket for Germany and flights to Frankfurt so I thought I'd explore, but I don't have much cash for accommodation and so on, so any ideas you have would be great. I plan to be in Germany for the whole of July. Will you be around then? Be lovely to meet up."
I wrote back immediately.
"Thanks for replying Anna. Sorry to hear about your chap. Sounds like it was quite serious? I'll be in Cologne for the whole first week of July so we can definitely meet up. Let me know how long you want to be in town and I'll see what I can find."
"Thanks for your empathy, Bill," she replied. "Yeah we've been together for a few years and it just wasn't working out. I need some fun! Would you mind if I joined you in Cologne for the whole week? Or would I be cramping your style?"
"Not cramping my style at all. Would be lovely to have a catch up. I miss seeing you! Not having the wife around will make it less awkward catching up! Here's a crazy thought, and please feel free to say no, but my company always books me a large room in a city hotel with a large bed that's basically just two singles shoved together. You'd be more than welcome to share the room if that's not too weird?"
"Brilliant idea, Bill. I was hoping that might be the case. Work won't mind will they?"
"No, work won't mind at all. I'll have to cover the additional breakfast costs, but otherwise it'll be easy."
"Can't wait, Bill! Thank you!"
The last message was accompanied by a selfie of her smiling. She'd aged a bit. Hadn't we all, in 10 years, but she still looked very hot. Time had been kind to her.
The next couple of months dragged by until it was time to head to Cologne again - a Sunday evening so I'd be in the office bright and early Monday morning. I'd established that Anna's flight arrived in Frankfurt shortly after mine so I agreed to meet her in the airport and travel together on the train. I got to the airport and was through security in no time at all. I know the airport really well, and I was travelling hand luggage only. I had to wait 20 minutes or so at the meeting point.
Suddenly, there she was. She was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, she had a large rucksack on her back, and a beaming smile on her face. The moment she saw me she ran as fast as she could and enveloped me in a huge hug. The first thing I noticed was that she smelt really nice. The second was that she was lovely and soft. She clung to me for ages it seemed.
After a little while I noticed she was sobbing. I stroked her hair and her cheek to console her. Then I stroked her back for a while. I couldn't feel a bra strap which was really nice.
Eventually she let me go and stepped back. Her eyes were a little red and puffy from crying and her face was damp and streaked with makeup. I handed her a tissue.
"I'm sorry Bill," she eventually said. "It's such a relief seeing a friendly face. The last few weeks have been horrible. Mike's family, he's my ex by the way, have been pretty horrible to me, and most of the friends I have are mutual ones with Mike, and they're being pretty nasty too. And it's not like I was at fault. He'd started abusing me which is why I broke up with him."
"Anyway I don't want to bore you with the details. Let's catch our train!"
I insisted on taking Anna's rucksack. It was pretty heavy, but then she was staying for a month! We walked the 15 minutes or so to the station with her nattering away about work and so forth. I spent most of it thinking about what arseholes men can be!
We got to the station with a bit of time to spare so we found a table in a bar and I ordered 2 Hefeweizen. One thing that had always impressed me about Anna was her love of beer. One place we'd often bumped into each other before I moved was the local beer festival.
Anna took a great swig of her beer and grinned. The foam was all over her upper lip. She looked so lovely. Then she asked me to tell her about my life. I did. I told her about my wife and kids, about my work, and so forth. I told her I was finding it all a bit boring, but that I didn't want to separate from my wife for the sake of the kids. Plus life was pretty easy. It would be so much more complicated if we split up!
We drank our beers and then headed for the train. We found 2 seats next to each other and settled in for the hour's journey.
"Anna," I said, once the train announcer had finished his piece, "if you want to, tell me about Mike. Tell me all about it. I think it would do you good to let it all out."
She sighed, but then rested her head on my shoulder.
"Ok, alright, I will, but put your arm around me. I need to feel secure."
I happily obliged. Having close contact with her was really nice.
She told me the story of how she and Mike met, how he'd blown her off her feet, how they'd moved in together, how they'd been really happy. Then she told me about how the abuse started. It had been small things at first, like telling her she was getting fat, or the odd slap when he lost his temper. It soon progressed to more severe abuse, both physical and verbal. In the end she had decided to finish the relationship, but she still was having a hard time of it from him and his family and friends.
"What a complete Arsehole!" was all I could respond. "You deserve so much better than that, Anna."
She was crying again a little and snuggled right in to me. We didn't say much more for the rest of the journey.
I carried her bag when we got off the train. We walked in silence most of the way, but eventually she linked her arm into mine and smiled at me.
"Thanks Bill. You're very understanding. I always felt you were someone I could be myself with."
We got to the hotel. At reception I explained in German that Anna was my partner, and that she'd decided to join me for the week. I'd cover any additional costs. I was a regular guest at the hotel and they upgraded me to a bigger room, which was nice. In the lift I explained to Anna that she was registered as my partner and she just winked playfully at me.
The room was really nice - much nicer than any I'd stayed in so far at this hotel! Anna was a friend with benefits it seemed. She said she was going to take a shower, so I said I'd sort out the beds. She told me to sort that out later and just to relax for now as I must be tired from the travel. So I popped the TV on quietly, mainly so it would seem I was doing something. In all honesty I wanted to listen to the sound of the water and dream about Anna's naked body standing under it. I was going to have to be really careful I didn't do anything silly this week!
Anna didn't take long to be ready. She didn't spend ages on makeup or anything and hadn't bothered drying her hair. It was over 30 degrees outside so it would soon dry off! More to the point, she was wearing a really pretty mustard yellow summer dress. It had thin straps over the shoulders, showed off just a small amount of cleavage, and finished mid thigh. It was nicely shaped around the waist and flared out just a little. She had nothing on her legs and they were smooth and tanned. She looked stunning, and I told her so.
She blushed a little, and gave the excuse that it was too hot for jeans.
"I'll grab a quick shower and then let's go and get something to eat," I said. "It's late and you must be famished. I know I am!"
"Oh I'm not too hungry. I'll just grab a bread roll or something. But if you want to eat then do so," she replied.
I guessed she was worried about money.
"Don't worry about money, Anna. I can invoice my meals to the company and I don't mind also paying for your meals. You've got to eat. It's fine."
"Oh, I can't ask you to do that, Bill. This is my holiday. I'll fend for myself."
"Don't be ridiculous, Anna. I can't have you sitting in restaurants with me and not eating or drinking. Just relax and let me bankroll this section of the your trip. Enjoy yourself, and just pretend you're my partner like I told the hotel."
