I was fifty, single and living alone. I had a pretty good job, a nice car, and a comfortable apartment. For a while, that was all passable, but a bit lonely. So, I started frequenting a couple local pubs. I wasn't looking for a long-term relationship, though I would not have been averse to that, were it to happen. For a couple months, nothing happened, and I remained a bit lonely. Then, on one fateful Thursday night, I overheard a funny comment from a table of people. Uninvited, I replied to the comment, only to be met with a few uncomfortable grins.
Embarrassed, I quickly mumbled, "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt", and started to turn away, when a guy at the table said it was fine. He pushed an empty chair towards me and invited me to take a seat. That was the beginning of a fun and satisfying social life, and eventually, unbeknownst to me, one of the most interesting and erotic relationships of my life.
There were ten people at the table that night, couples and singles, with an age range of 25 to 50, with me being the oldest, or close to it. All of them were friendly and engaging. I enjoyed talking to all of them in various small groups, throughout the night. I left the pub much later than I had planned but hoped that I had just planted the seedling of a social life.
For the next few weeks, I was there every Thursday night, hoping to find this crowd that had to some degree befriended me. During those few weeks, I found some of my new friends on every visit, and I was overjoyed to meet many more people that were part of the group. Apparently, this was a group of about forty friends, not just the ten that I had met on that first night.
Better still, this wonderful group of people were not just barflies. They got together in various groups for hobbies and activities: hikes, barbecues, days at the beach, days at a park, bicycle rides, movies, concerts, and more. These amazing people do all the fun activities that people do together. They readily included me. This meant putting me on their E-mail list through which all the invitations to all the activities were sent.
Now, beyond a job, a car, and an apartment, I had friends! I had a social life! I was ecstatic!
Of the forty people in the group, about fifteen were single women of various ages. I went to many of the activities and chatted with everyone. I did not want to take a chance of ruining this fantastic social life by pursuing any of the women, but I chatted with them and even flirted with them a little bit. I felt I had achieved the perfect balance.
Only one factor influenced me to risk that balance. Her name was Paula. She had a pretty face and a body that was just the right combination of curvy and athletic. She was also tall, roughly my height, a little taller when she wore heels. However, I can honestly say that I was less attracted to these physical features than to her sparkling eyes and expressive face. She was intelligent and funny, and a pleasure to talk to. When I got into a conversation with her, time simply flew by.
She was one of the younger members of the group, probably 25 to 30, while I was one of the oldest, but this age difference did not seem to bother her, and it certainly didn't bother me. I made every excuse to chat with her and she seemed more than happy to let me. I so enjoyed spending time with her.
Yes, I was more attracted to her personality and expressiveness than to her face and body. However, there was one exception. I am a normal, regular guy, with only a couple small peculiarities, one of which is my intense and at times overpowering foot fetish. A pair of beautiful female feet can take my breath away and make my heart beat faster. And Paula's feet were not just beautiful. They were exquisite, with high arches, perfect smooth curves of the heels, the soles, and the balls of the feet, and perfectly shaped toes. Adding to these natural features were the smooth and soft appearance and the beautifully enameled toenails that can only result from frequent top-quality pedicures.
She occasionally wore sexy heels, but her feet were so perfect that they looked amazing even in a beat-up old pair of flipflops. The only time I was disappointed was when she wore sneakers, running shoes, or hiking boots that completely deprived me of any view of her luscious feet.
When she wore footwear that displayed her delectable feet, or on those rare and memorable occasions when she went barefoot, I did my best to avoid staring at those objects of my desire. Her occasional sly smirk when I returned my gaze to her face told me that I was failing. I was certain that she was aware of my attraction to her feet.
One weekend, a small group of us went on a long hike. I picked Paula up at her apartment so she would not have to drive alone. I loved the fact that the drive and the hike gave me hours of glorious happiness in Paula's company, but that happiness was dampened slightly by the fact that Paula wore hiking boots that provided me no chance of glimpsing her gorgeous feet.
The hike ended at a small indoor/outdoor cafΓ© and coffee shop. While the rest of our party grabbed coffees to go and hurried to their cars, Paula and I took our coffees to a wrought-iron cafΓ© table outside and sat opposite each other. Paula immediately put her booted feet up on the chair next to me. After taking a few sips of her coffee, Paula asked me to take off her boots. Trying to act casual and unaffected, I agreed and removed her boots.
Paula grinned at me and purred, "The socks too, silly."
As I peeled her sweaty socks from her perfect feet, I could feel my heart race and my breathing become erratic. Paula grinned at me and commented that my hands were shaking.
Still grinning, Paula thanked me and then said, "My feet feel so much better with my boots and socks off, but they're still so sore from the hike. Would you be a doll and rub them for me?"
Trying my best to act nonchalant, I lifted one of her beautiful feet and started to rub it. I squeezed Paula's perfect foot, I rubbed the sole, and I individually massaged each lovely toe. Paula closed her eyes and rested her head back. After about fifteen minutes, she pulled her foot away from my hands and rested it on my thigh, so that she could extend her other foot towards me.
"Don't forget this one", she purred.
I immediately grabbed the offered foot and began to massage it, hoping desperately that my thin hiking shorts were sufficient to hide my excitement.
After Paula's second foot had received equal treatment, she pulled both feet away from me, raised her head, opened her deep penetrating eyes, grinned at me, and cheerfully asked, "Shall we go?"
She didn't wait for an answer. She rose from her chair and started walking towards the parking lot, leaving her empty cup, her backpack, boots, and socks behind. After briefly watching the entrancing sight of this amazing woman walking away from me barefoot, I threw away our trash, gathered up all our belongings, and trotted after her towards the car.
I pressed my key button to unlock the car. It took me a few minutes to load the backpacks, boots, and socks into the back seat. I was about to slide into the driver's seat when I noticed that Paula was standing expectantly at the passenger door. After a moment's thought, I knew what was expected of me. I ran around the car, opened the door for her, waited for her to slide into the passenger's seat, and closed the door behind her.
By the time I got back into the driver's seat, Paula had positioned herself comfortably, her seat slightly reclined, and her delightful feet up on the dashboard. After I started the car, Paula selected a radio station, and seductively moved her feet and toes to the music. I found this very pleasant yet extremely distracting.
