I'm 63. I don't exactly feel old, but I do feel lonely. Lately I've been feeling desperately lonely.
It had been fifteen years since my last divorce, and it had been a rather nasty one. She had been swept off her feet by her boss, and even though he was younger than I am, it was by not much.
Not that our marriage was doing particularly all that great as it was though. We were having sex less and less frequently, and even then it was not the best sex we'd had by a long shot.
At first I was very hurt by her leaving. Then I came to find out that I was not that hurt, as it dawned on me that she and I shouldn't have gotten married in the first place. She only wanted a "Daddy" to take care of her anyway.
Thank God, I'd never had children with either of my wives. That left me to pursue the Batchelor Life without regret. Although that quickly came to be very unwilling as well. I was 'gun-shy' about women after two divorces going straight to hell. It didn't help in my dating habits.
So here I am, in my early sixties, a lonely, embittered 'old man.' What chance did I have of finding anyone at my age?
Oh, I was still attracted to women all right. Young, Old, didn't matter. Being an 'old man,' I found myself attracted sometimes to even much, much younger women than most of society would think was acceptable.
And although I hadn't acted on it for almost forty years, I was once attracted to some men I met. Not many, but some. In particular was a very cute and very femme (at the time) Latino with long hair and a sweet smile. But that was back in my twenties. I hadn't 'dipped my wick in that pool,' ever since AIDS struck and took many of the Gay men that I had once know.
Being that lonely, embittered old man, I spent a lot of time reading online erotica on a particular website, including many stories of group sex to bide the time I didn't spend working. I began thinking about exploring the polyamorous community, perhaps finding in two or three other people, an outlet for my still very much there sexual urges, without getting too involved in the emotional side of thing.
I went online and found a local (I live in a Big City) polyamorous group that had "matchmaking services" for finding a poly pod. I decided, What the hell? and signed up, not knowing what I was getting myself into.
This "meet up" was going to be in a local bar in a part of town that was "up and coming," that I didn't feel too bad about going to. Hell, I might even meet an older woman there I might hit it off with, and find myself lucky.
"Ok, Boys and Girls," the "EmCEE (who was obviously flaming Gay) said. "Are you ready to be matched up with your Soulmates?"
OK. Just find me some people to fuck every once in a while, I almost said out loud.
"Look around you at all the Fabulous Flirty People that we're going to hand you over to go fly with!" Over the top much? I didn't really care.
Then 'he' called out the names of those of us that had been pre-selected to be in a pod together, and I raised my hand along with the three others that were supposed to be my 'Soulmates.'
We got together off to one side, and I was a little struck by the eclectic nature of the four of us.
I pointed silently towards the outdoor eating area, and everyone of our group agreed silently and we began going outdoors.
It wasn't what I would call a quiet space outdoors, as they still insisted on blaring music out of the speakers, even here. But it was better than indoors, will all of the noise there.
We found ourselves a nice niche area with a wraparound couch and a small round table in the middle of it, and we all slid into this booth. We were man woman man woman, so I slid in last.
Of course Jimmy was the first one to introduce himself. "Hi, I'm Jimmy," he said, "And I like sports, the outdoors and... well, the indoors sports as well!" he said, with a way too flaming flare.
"Just how old are you Jimmy?" the older woman seated with us with steel grey hair done in a bob about her shoulders asked. She looked to be my age, and although on the slender and not glamorously proportioned side... but she still looked nice.
"My name is Katie, by the way," she told us.
"Oh, I'm the youngster of the group, fer sure," Jimmy replied. "I'm only thirty-five." And yes, I thought. Flaming Gay. Not exactly someone that would be interested in women. That was a bad sign for me.
"I'm Sharon," the other woman said, "And I'm fifty-three. I guess that means I'm going to be in the middle a lot," she joked. She seemed to be good humored, but I caught a side glance that she had a Jimmy, telling me she had the same kind of questions that I had about him.
"I'm Dean." I told the group. "And I guess you probably know that I'm on the other side of the age equation from Jimmy. I'm sixty-three."
I could see that Katie was not exactly going to be forthcoming about her age. She looked uncomfortable about declaring that.
But Jimmy turned to her and gave her a playfully dirty look. "We've all declared how old we are. Why don't you? I mean, after all. If we're going to be--" and he leaned into the center of our group and stage whispered, "Intimate. It's gong to come out sooner or later." He gave her a smirk, and I couldn't help myself, but laughed at his antics. This is going to be interesting, I thought.
Katie just gave him a dirty look instead. "I don't think my age is... particularly relevant. You know I'm on the older side." And returning a glare to Jimmy, said, "You don't have a problem with that, do you Jimmy?" she challenged.
"Just as long as you're not too 'old' in the sack," he smirked.
"Oh, I don't think you'll have a problem with that, honey," she said, with her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh-kay," I said, barely under my breath.
"And you, Dean. Are you a straight arrow? Or are you looking at both 'targets' in this little 'arrangement'?" he asked with a lascivious grin.
"That all depends," I gave back to him with a playfully dirty look. "Are you really interested in Katie and Sharon? Or is it just me?"
"TouchΓ©," was all he said. Giving me a not so playfully dirty look in return, he continues with, "I like to play both ways."
I looked at both Katie and then Sharon, and they both looked at me with an equally doubtful look our their faces. Obviously they were wondering the same thing I was.
Sharon didn't look too bak in my eyes for her fifty-three years. She had a nice face, somewhat on the round side, but had a nice full body, with what I guessed were ample c-cup breasts and full hips. She had obviously had children, but her belly didn't seem like it had suffered to much because of that.
She also had a nice shoulder length auburn hair, that flowed around her face taking some of the roundness away unless she turned quickly. I thought she was very pleasant to look at. Looking between her and Katie, I could see myself falling in love with both of them, if that happened between us.
Jimmy, however... He had longish hair, and he shaved so he had a kind of baby-face softness to him. No doubt, he had had his face waxed to maximize that. At thirty-five, he didn't look like he was 'baby' anything other than is face. He was on the muscular side (which reinforced my opinion that he was more Gay than Bi-). He just didn't look like he was going to fit in a four-way relationship. He looked to be more interested in me, than the women.
We sat in silence for few very long 'pregnant' minutes, while the noise of the bar raged around us.
"Well, this is going great," Sharon suddenly said, distancing herself by a foot or so from Jimmy. Then she turned to him and asked the question apparently on the rest of our minds. "What exactly are you looking for, Jimmy? Do you really have any interest in me or Katie?"
Jimmy put his hands in his lap, and smiled up at her through his eyelashes, in what was obviously meant to be a sexy mood. It only reinforced in my mind, that I was the one that Jimmy would be most interested in. Katie had a similar look on her face, even though she was looking at him directly (and therefore, away from me).
He looked up at me, and smiled a secretive little smile, and said, "Of course I'm interested in the two of you. Otherwise I'd be in WeHo on a glorious Sunday afternoon such as this." WeHo being the Gay district of town.
But I had my doubts as well. He just seemed a little to... 'flamboyant' for being interested in women. Maybe he was, but I seemed to be more his interest.
"So," I spoke up. "If we're going to be a pod of four, what do the rest of you -- especially the two of you--" (I said, nodding in Sharon's direction and then touching Katie lightly on the shoulder. "Want out of this... relationship?"
Sharon started first. "I want several of you to be intimate with. I don't want yet another standard relationship. I've had enough of those."
"Same here," Katie said.
I breathed a moment, before asking the 'Other Elephant in the Room' question. "And are the two of you... interested in each other?"
Katie reached across the table in Sharon's direction, and gestured with her fingers for her to come and sit between the two of us. I got up to let Sharon slide into the gap and then reset myself.
I put my left arm around Katie's shoulder, and watched as the two women leaned into each other and gave the other a smoking hot kiss. I was sitting there on the outside, feeling my prick rising at the sight of this.
Jimmy then reacted by balling up his right fist and putting it in his mouth, biting down on it with a very, 'Oh, My!' kind of gleaming look in his eyes. I couldn't tell whether he was just being Gay 'playful,' or he was really meaning the gesture.
Letting his fist fall to his lap, Jimmy then lost the playful look and his interest became more clearly hetero in nature.
The women broke away, and Katie turned towards me and asked, "does that settle your question?" She then leaned into me, and began kissing me, turning to let her hand fall into my lap, and onto my very quickly hardening member.
This was the first passionate kiss that I'd had in a very long time, and it was hot as hell. I wanted t fuck this woman, right here and now, just pulling her out of the booth and pulling her jeans and panties down and sliding into her, right on the spot.
