Mushrooms in the Woods
"Hey babe I'm going to go out for a hike and see if I can find Some morels."
"Ok Ron, I'll see you when you get back."
Sharon and I live in a small community bordered on three sides by forest and the fourth a country road that winds it way through small cattle ranches and more recently small hobby farms tucked into pockets of trees in the Pacific Northwest.
I needed a diversion. Something else to think about and wild mushroom foraging is a past time I had taken up. It gets me out and active and I enjoy the time in the woods.
And today it would provide a diversion from thinking about the lack of sex in my life. It's not an uncommon dynamic for men my age, their wives go through menopause and loose all interest in sex and the husbands are left to figure things out on their own.
I love Sharon and certainly would never want to leave her or hurt her in an effort to solve my dilemma. But never the less it is something that at times that seems to demand attention.
I woke up this morning with the usual hard on that brought on my being horny and wanting relief. And Sharon with her usual easy demeanor made the comment I should "Do something about that."
She had made comments recently like "You need a friend." In reference to "My condition." There was a definite suggestion but also a "I don't want to know about it." dynamic when the subject came up.
She purposely always left me with the notion that if I was going to have sex in my life it was going to be without her and she indicated she was ok with me having it with someone else.
I say someone else meaning there was an air of it being a man and not a woman. There had been times when a woman came onto me at a social gathering and she seemed to be a little protective of me in that situation. And there had also been times when we were out that an obviously gay man had either looked me up and down or made some sort of comment with a sexual overtone that she only would say something like "well he seemed to like you." Or something of that nature, but it wasn't the same sense that he was infringing on her territory like it had been with women.
Well never the less a hike would help me to clear my head and provide a distraction. And the forest is someplace I am drawn to, it gives me a peaceful reprieve sometimes.
Walking on the trail down by the river not far from our home it's a place I have been dozens of times. I did feel more at peace and the slow pace looking for morels forced me to see the forest in detail.
The bright green moss on the trees, the dead logs, some occasionally with oyster mushrooms.
Moving slow as I was, I was silent making my way through the forest. It's a skill I learned hunting with my my father as a young man. It was natural for me to not step on twigs or let branches sweep across my pant legs.
I could hear soft noises not far away, and I slowed to listen more intently. It wasn't an animal, it sounded like a muffled masked voice, or I guess more like a moan. At first I thought someone my be hurt. But it was different than that, these were moans of pleasure, I think. They were intermittent and a little far off to distinguish.
As I slowly made my way along the trail there was a bit of a fork with the offshoot being mostly blocked with branches that had fallen from a tree. I had been that way before. It took a little effort to get past them without making any noise. By now it was evident I was getting closer to the source of the what were now for sure moans coming from a man and they weren't from pain. There were some utterances that I still couldn't make out but this was definitely from a guy having a good time.
By now I was sneaking. I didn't want to be seen or surprise who ever this was. Slowly as I silently walked up a rise in the green trail matted with spring growth just the top of my head peaking over the top I could see who was making the what were now distinguishable soft words and moans of a guy getting oral "...that's right, just like that. My cock loves that."
I could see through the sparse new growth on the trees a man standing with his pants unzipped and pulled down to so half his ass was showing and his hard cock sliding in and out of another mans mouth. His eyes closed and his mouth open even when he wasn't speaking.
