Well, this is how it all happened. I am a 34 year old military wife with two young children. I live in the countryside away from big city fuss. At the time of this story, my husband had been deployed oversees for six months and would not return for six months to follow. It was mid May and starting to warm up. Since he had been gone I had taken up various activities and habits to cope with his being gone, trying to make the time go by faster.
Some info about me: I am 5'3, at the time about 145 lbs with 36D breasts. I have long blonde hair and deep blue eyes.
My most recent project had been improving the value and aesthetics of our 5 acre property. I particularly wanted a privacy fence between my place and the neighbors. To that end I decided to look into fencing options. I got a basic quote over the phone and a few days later, a guy came out to measure for the material and make a more precise quote. I was out shopping when he came by, so he left the workup on my front porch. The quote was reasonable so I called and arranged for the work to begin.
The evening before the fencing was to kick off, I was spending time in the front yard with my two young children. My 3 year old daughter was playing with the garden hose and, although I warned her several times, she inevitably pointed it in my direction. A full 2-3 second cold stream hit me from neck to knees. My T-shirt and shorts were soaked. Before I could even wrangle the hose from her, I heard a vehicle coming down our driveway. I looked up to see an unfamiliar long-bed pick-up with utility racks. On the driver's door I recognized the name of the fencing company that would be building my fence the next morning. Why were they coming by tonight, I wondered.
The truck came to a stop about the time I got the hose shut off. As the door opened, a tall black man emerged wearing the obligatory ball cap, T-shirt and utility belt.
"Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting. I'm James, the guy who'll be building your fence tomorrow. There were some items on the quote that didn't make sense and I just need to clear them up before I bring out the wrong stuff."
"Oh, hi... I'm Shauna. Yeah, we were just having a water fight here; you missed out," I giggled, a little surprised and a little nervous.
"Yeah... I see that," he chuckled while looking at my soaked clothes.
"Well, if you have a few seconds, I'd like to go over the quote," he suggested.
"Yeah, no problem," I responded, starting to feel a little chilly.
He opened up a folder and pulled out the work-up for the original quote. As he stood close to me, I could smell a hint of his cologne; it smelled fantastic. We went over the material list and as James expected, the quote guy had listed the wrong material. He said the material I wanted would cost about 20% more and asked if I wanted to redo the quote. I told I had my heart set on the particular design so was in a bind.
"You know what. Let me go measure the area again and see what I come up with," James politely suggested.
I agreed and he grabbed a few things from his truck and proceeded to the back yard to measure. I watched him as he did this. He was a striking black man with strong, masculine features and a muscular, yet trim build. He was probably 35 or 36. He stood about 6'3 and probably weighed 230 or so. He had high, prominent cheekbones and full lips. His irises were deep brown surrounded a very stunning white, that matched his very white teeth. When he smiled, his whole face smiled. He seemed like a genuinely nice man, and a very handsome one at that. I also couldn't help but notice his very firm ass as he was leaning across the cab of his truck. I caught myself sizing him up, felt guilty and then reminded myself that I was only looking; no harm in that.
Ok, I decided I had seen plenty, and besides I was practically shivering as I was still wet and the sun was ducking behind the horizon, cooling the air rapidly. I took the kids in and got them playing with their toys. As I walked into my bedroom, I passed by the full-length mirror and stopped, eyes wide open.
There looking back at me was my wet self. But what caught me completely off guard was that my white bra was clearly visible through my almost transparent white T-Shirt. What's more, my nipples were protruding so far they could have put an eye out. Great, I just gave this perfect gentleman and the guy who would be building my fence a full-on Wet T-Shirt show. I thought he was looking at me kind of funny. At that point, I really felt ridiculous about checking him out. I quickly changed into something dry and much less revealing. I threw on a sun dress and some flip-flops.
After fifteen minutes or so, James came back to the front door and knocked. I let him in and brought him over to the dining room table to have a seat.
"Can I get you coffee, tea or anything," I asked.
"Sure, I'll have some coffee," he replied.
He started explaining the error and continued that he would be able to do the design I wanted and, even though the materials cost more, he would make it work so that it was "transparent" to me. Funny choice of words I thought.
I thanked him for being so understanding and flexible. He said that it was no problem at all, he also mentioned that it might take one full day and a few hours the next day, depending on his progress on the first. We chit-chatted for a bit while I waited for a fresh pot of coffee to brew. He asked where my hubby was and I told him he was on a deployment. I asked if he were married or had kids. He said he was recently divorced and that his one five-year old son spent equal time between mom and dad. There was a pause in the conversation, so I got up the check the coffee.
"How do you like it," I asked as I came toward him from the kitchen.
"Well, you look great, but you looked great all soaking wet too," he said, apparently thinking I was referring to my sundress.
"Uh.... Thanks, but I was asking about your coffee. Cream or sugar?" I was sure he could detect the embarrassment in my voice.
"Oh. Dang, I am so sorry. You caught me off guard and I thought I better compliment you. I'll take it a little sugar," he responded, also visibly embarrassed. "How about you... how do you like it." I suspect he was flirting with me, so I smiled wryly and told him I was a tea drinker.
"Well, I do appreciate the compliment. Thank you." I tried to cut the obvious tension.
"Well, you're welcome." Was all he said, regaining his status as the gentleman. "So, if we have an agreement, I'll start tomorrow at around 8:00am. That too early?"
"No not at all, I'll be up doing the usual morning chores and the kids should be still in bed."
With that, he rose from his chair. Since I was still sitting, I couldn't help but notice two things. He was very tall. And he had a serious bulge in his jeans. I wasn't sure if he caught me as I glanced at it. It was only for a split second, but enough to tell me he was well equipped.
As he opened the door to leave, he smiled a radiant smile and bid me goodnight. I sat there for a couple moments. I was sweating a little and my heart was beating faster than usual. I also felt a little flushed. I was definitely embarrassed by the interchange we had just had. At the same time I was definitely a little aroused.
As the evening went on, I kept repeating in my head the things that he said, analyzing them and trying to determine what, if anything, he was implying. As I rethought our conversations, I kept imagining him looking me over as I was all wet and wondering what he must have been thinking.
The kids stayed up longer than usual. By the time they got to bed I was exhausted. I quickly showered and shaved my legs. I also trimmed my pubic hair a little, not sure why. I don't remember what I was thinking about when I went to bed, but I felt a little guilty and a little aroused all at once.
The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual so I could get some chores done before James arrived to work on the fence. I went through the daily routine of feeding the pets, cleaning up a little, and doing dishes, etc. I was still going over the events of the previous evening in my head. I planned on showering and getting dressed before James arrived. I sat down at the computer to enjoy a cup of tea and check email. At about 7:00 am, I heard the neighbor's dog bark. I looked out the front window and saw the same truck from the night before. Crap, I thought... I better get dressed. I was only wearing a T-Shirt and white cotton panties. I watched from the dining room window as he pulled the truck around to the back. He did not come to the door, but rather went straight to unloading.
"Ok, cool, I thought. I'll go back to my tea and email." From the computer desk where I sat, I could see James unloading the material for the fence. He was wearing a fairly tight-fitting T-Shirt. I could tell he was accustomed to manual labor. He probably combined that with a gym workout. I had often watched my husband out working in the yard. He also has a wonderful body that he takes good care of. It was weird watching this handsome black man perform the work I was used to my husband doing.
