I had never done anything like this before. I was 25, single and bored. I worked in an office where everyone was much older than me and mostly male. I was lucky enough to own my own very small flat and had just bought my first car. I didn't meet girls socially much and lived a long way from my family, having moved to get the job.
In those far off days before the internet there weren't so many opportunities to hook up. But I had placed a personal advert, jokingly referring to me as a car:
"19** model man available. Low mileage hardly been driven. Looks and sounds good but has a tendency to run on after owner has switched off, due to surplus intellect. Suit experienced female driver who knows what she wants and how to ask for it. All offers considered, Mike."
I got one reply:
"Mike, sorry to hear you suffer from pre-ignition. I need to know you are genuine so reply with your phone number or it is no deal, Lynne."
Then she wrote:
"Take your chance adventurous stranger strike the bell and brave the danger
Or wonder, till it drives you mad, what would happened if you had."
I was somewhat intrigued and did some research. Pre-ignition refers to a car engine running on after being switched off. She clearly knew more about cars than I did. The quote sounded familiar but I couldn't quite place it.
After much indecision I had sent her my number and sent the next few days agonising over whether I should have done.
Saturday morning and I was lazily still in bed when the phone rang.
"Hello..."
"Hello Mike..." a rather throaty female voice, mature and sexy. Oh my god it must be her!
"Oh ... hello!"
She laughed and started to ask me about myself, I told her everything she asked. After a while I plucked up the courage to ask her questions in return. She told me she had large breasts but a small bottom (rather awkward when buying clothes, she admitted). I didn't ask her age but she was clearly older than me. She mentioned a town about fifteen miles away and a pub with a large car park. Before I knew it I was agreeing to meet her the following day for lunch there.
She added mysteriously "that gives us the afternoon if we want it".
The following day I was nervous as hell. What if I got lost on the way and was late, I didn't have her number? What if I crashed the car or it broke down or something? My hands were shaking as I drove into the pub car park.
I saw her sitting there in the sunshine at an outside table. It had to be her! She had tight trousers and a top that seemed to have difficulty restraining those splendid breasts. She was looking straight at me. My feelings were in conflict. She was clearly older than I imagined and I felt a surge of panic. What if I couldn't perform? Suddenly I just knew that I wouldn't be able to and it would be humiliating, she would feel insulted and it would be a disaster!
But it was too late to back out now, I got out of the car and walked across to her and introduced myself: "Thank God for that I'm starving!" she replied and instantly my nerves started to settle.
It was a lovely sunny day but we went inside and found a corner table. It didn't seem long before we were chatting away as if we had known each other all our lives. I discovered she was single with a son in the army. I found I really liked her but I kept thinking that she was too old for me and I didn't know how to let her down gently. As we had lunch and a drink (just one, we were both driving) I found myself staring at those breasts. She had a kind of halter top with a cut out section that showed a bit of cleavage.
Finally we walked back across the car park to her car which was a convertible with the top down. I admired it. "Like me" she said. "Not young but a lot of fun!" I laughed and she got in and looked up at me. She took a bit of paper out of the door pocket and wrote her number down. "So, if you want to see me again, give me a call." I took the paper, unsure what to say or do.
She looked up at me expectantly. Suddenly I found the words coming out of my mouth: "Would it embarrass you if I kissed you?" She gave that throaty laugh and I was kissing her hard on the mouth.
