Barb's Fantasy -- I WAS the next man
I love to write about women rediscovering or reigniting their sexual hunger, especially later in life: the MILF, the cougar, the vixen, or the hotwife. The sex life she pursues after she has experienced youthful romance, marriage, and children, and they are grown and gone. When she is no longer restrained by the boundaries of being a wife and a mother, she is free to explore as a sexual creature again, unbound by ties to family or tradition. Enjoy the story--comments are welcome.
Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality.

I know when my wife is becoming aroused. The signs were there.
After 23 years of marriage, I can see the changes in her, so familiar, so inexorably woven into my own arousal.
The obvious sign was that she had changed out of her one-piece swimsuit into a skimpy bikini. She was standing by the sink, looking out the window, oblivious to my approach. Something had her undivided attention.
The more subtle signs were there, too.
I could see her nipples becoming erect, poking through the thin material of her top, reflected in the kitchen window. Her small but perky breasts were rising and falling with her increased rate of breathing. Her skin was flushed. She was on tiptoes, her attention focused on the source of her arousal.
Jacques was a constant visitor while our son was growing up, his best friend. They were as different as they were close. Our son Mike was quiet, bookish, and shy, whereas Jacques (they called him Jax) was fearless about people, outgoing, and almost overly friendly. Completely unaware of social norms, he often walked around in only his briefs when on one of his frequent sleepovers and our family camping trips. Even as he grew into a teenager, it was a struggle to get him to wear pants around the house.
Now, he was 22 years old, with a fine, slender, and elegant build, a tall and lean frame with broad shoulders, every muscle visible as he flexed and moved. Mike was a few days late coming home from college. He stopped over to meet his girlfriend's parents. In the meantime, Jax was happy to have time in our pool, diving and swimming, his red Speedos perhaps a size too large, ever threatening to slip off each time he climbed out of the water.
I watched her for a moment. Since our son had left for college, Barb had thrown herself into CrossFit and dragged me along with her. Two years later, we both looked younger, thinner, and fitter, and our sex life had soared. She looked incredible, sleek, and sexy. Her newfound musculature had the effect of accentuating her breasts. With her strong legs, now nearly on tiptoes, and her toned arms, she was breathtaking.
I was dressed for a run in my threadbare blue jean shorts, an old t-shirt, and well-used running shoes, but I couldn't take my eyes off Barb.
To me, my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. Her eyes were bright, intelligent, and full of life. They hold a warmth that feels like home, whether they're laughing at my terrible jokes or quietly studying me when I'm lost in thought. Her smile, warm and knowing, has this way of pulling me out of my darkest days.
I need to say that she's also beautiful in the moments other people don't see: the way her brow furrows when she's lost in a book, or how she tucks her hair behind her ear when she's focused on a challenge.
To me, she's not just a woman--she's my world, every imperfection and grace woven into a love I'll never fully deserve, but I try to earn every day.
Now, at this moment, her gaze dreamily followed Jax as he climbed out of the pool, water shimmering and cascading down his muscled frame, adjusting his swimsuit that seemed ever so close to slipping off, then climbing onto the diving board, posing like a trophy, and effortlessly diving into the water again. I heard her whisper to herself, "Oh God, I want that beautiful boy inside me. I want him. I'd make a man out of him."
She moaned softly.
It was a little alarming to hear her say those words out loud. Although recently we've been giving each other permission to openly discuss all topics, even sex, fantasies, erotic dreams, and the like. I guess the alarming part was that the object of her desire was real, swimming and flexing his grown-up physique a few yards away, not some imagined but faceless character from a fantasy, or even a performer in an erotic movie. Neither of us had ever expressed an interest in someone we knew.
This was an interesting development. I knew I should be jealous, but for some reason, I wasn't.
I watched her for a moment, considering the implications. I could confront her, and we'd laugh about this imprudent daydream and go on with our lives. Jax was a known quantity, and I felt no threat from him as a sexual rival. And what if she called my bluff and, in fact, admitted her real desire for him, or even pursued a rendezvous with him or another young man? That risk seemed real now.
Nonetheless, her arousal was palpable, so intense, and it affected me as well, as it always did. We were connected at some intangible, sexual level--it was undeniable. I felt my penis stir just watching her.
I wish there were a way to capture this moment: her desire, his youthful sexuality, an honest moment of lust between two amazing physical specimens. Their age difference makes it even more sensual, somehow. I watched for long moments, afraid to break the spell. Then, I saw her move one delicate hand to the front of her bikini top, tracing her own breast, lingering, then slowly dropping down to the front of her bikini bottom. I saw in her reflection as her fingers slipped past the elastic and sought out her own ready sex.
I heard her softly sigh as I moved in, gently trapping her between the sink and my body.
"Are you thinking of seducing him?" I asked. She jumped a little as I approached, startled out of her daydream.
"I, um, no! I, um, what are you..." She tried to deny it, but it was obvious. I found it amusing and a little arousing to observe my wife getting so openly excited by a young man, one we watched grow up.
"He's grown now, turned into quite a captivating young man, hasn't he?" I teased playfully. She tried to sneak her hand out of her bikini and put it into the dishwasher water, but I gently took it and lifted it to my nose, inhaling the scent of her arousal.
