Tony:
We lived in our house for ten years and barely made any changes. At first, we didn't have any money. Later when we had money we had two rambunctious teenage boys and a big German Shepherd with sharp floor wrecking toenails. All of them were animals so we didn't make any significant changes. Why bother when it would just get wrecked?
But the kids had flown the coop and Rex was buried in the back yard and we had good jobs and lots of cash. It was time to renovate.
Personally, I didn't care. The old floor and cupboards and fixtures looked fine to me but Judy was buzzing with excitement. She'd been waiting and planning for years. She knew exactly what she wanted. It would involve new floors, cupboards, lights, appliances, paint, you name it. It was going to cost a bundle but we could afford it.
A friend of Judy's had some similar work done and highly recommended a small company with three employees. They were jack of all trades guys and did almost all the work themselves. Judy and I were impressed when we met them to discuss the job. They were friendly and knowledgeable and had lots of helpful suggestions. It was obvious they knew what they were doing.
We got a few quotes from different contractors and theirs was in the ballpark so we gave them the contract.
It was going to take a month to complete the work and one of us needed to be around. Fortunately, Judy had accumulated holidays and was allowed to work from home a few days a week so she was able to stay home.
I liked the guys. They were pleasant and professional. If they said they were going to be there at eight they were there at eight. If they said the water was going to be off on the main floor for three days it was available on the fourth day. They always cleaned up at the end of each day, kept us in the loop and there were no negative surprises. And most importantly, the job was proceeding as planned.
Judy was in a great mood. Every day she called me at work to give me updates. When Judy was in a good mood I got lots of sex. She was exhausting me in the bedroom lately!
I didn't usually see the guys because I left before they arrived and they left before I got home because my commute was a brute. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to work from home like Judy.
I decided to take a few days off midway through the project. I had some holidays coming and my co-worker said she'd cover for me.
I greeted Malcolm, Clay, and Jerome when they arrived. They were just as friendly as I remembered. Then Judy came down and greeted them. She was very cheery and asked them if they wanted some coffee. They accepted. Judy seemed to know what they wanted in their coffees. Apparently, she'd been offering them refreshments since day one.
I noticed that Judy liked to watch them work. She said she was curious about the different steps and also wanted to be around in case they needed anything. Being watched would bother a lot of tradespeople but whenever I looked they were working away and chatting with Judy. Her presence didn't seem to bother them or slow them down and every once in a while I heard them all laughing.
It probably didn't hurt that Judy was attractive in a wholesome girl-next-door way and had aged well. I remember thinking her mom was attractive when I first met Judy and Judy had aged like her mom. She was 5'8", blonde, green-eyed with C-cup perky breasts and nice legs, and had a tight ass that I loved to squeeze. She still turned heads when we were out. I lucked out with her. She was attractive, a great companion, a good mother, and had a good job.
Judy was being quite the hostess. When contractors came I typically told them my name and said to holler if they needed me and disappeared. But Judy offered the guys coffee in the morning and bought donuts for them and asked if they were thirsty throughout the day and even offered them a beer at the end of the day. It was no wonder they didn't mind her hanging around.
Judy seemed very friendly with the guys. She was a friendly person in general but seemed even cheerier around them. For example, she smiled a lot, laughed, and patted their hands and arms. It was like they were life-long friends.
I'd seen her this way before when she really liked someone and was comfortable around them. I'd also seen her this way when she was attracted to someone physically. We had a hunky mailman for several years and if Judy saw him coming she always went out to get the mail in person and came back with a smile on her face.
The guys were certainly impressive physical specimens. They were lean and muscled from their work. Two of them were around six feet and the other was '5' "10" and was ripped. One had long hair in dreadlocks and the other two were bald but looked good the way a lot of bald black guys did.
Yes, they were black. I didn't mention it earlier because I didn't care what color they were as long as they did good work and they were doing good work and were super friendly. Judy liked them and as long as she was happy with their work then I was happy.
The more I watched Judy with the guys the more I decided there was a physical attraction. I never really thought about Judy being attracted to black guys because we hardly knew any and she never commented on their looks. But it was possible she found their hard-muscled bodies appealing along with their pleasant personalities. I decided to ask her that night in bed after she'd just about fucked me to death, again.
"Are you happy with how the work is going?"
"Yes, aren't you?"
"Yup. The guys are doing great work and they're very nice."
Judy agreed.
"You seem to have developed quite a rapport with them."
Judy gave me a puzzled look.
"I'm not sure what you mean. I do like them if that's what you're asking."
I smirked.
"I think it's more than just like. You watch them a lot and are quite friendly with them."
Judy frowned. "I watch them because I'm curious about the work and I'm friendly because they're friendly."
I smirked again.
"Hmmm! Are you sure it's not because they're pretty easy on the eyes?"
Judy rolled her eyes.
"Are you denying you find them attractive?"
Judy rolled her eyes again. "No, but so what if I do? I watch them because I'm interested in the work and I'm friendly because they are."
"So you do find them attractive!"
"Yes. What of it?"
"I didn't know you liked black guys?"
"I like them as much as any other guys."
"But you like these guys."
"Yes. They're attractive and in good shape and they're very nice. Attraction is more than just looks for me. I have to like the person."
"You've never mentioned black guys before. Did you ever go out with any?"
"I never mentioned anything because we both agreed our previous lives were irrelevant."
"Have you been out with black guys?"
Judy paused.
"Yes. Once."
"Guy or guys?"
Judy hesitated and looked unsure. "Are you sure you want to know?"
That made me curious. "Yes!"
Judy smiled. "You're sure?"
"Yes!"
