The two women were standing together. Very closely together. The more curvaceous, chestnut haired one was standing behind the slimmer blonde. She had her arms around her. Her full breasts were just brushing the blonde womanâs back, her tummy was touching the pert bottom. The more curvaceous one was holding the wrists of the slimmer one. Not tightly but with a firm grip.
âOne of the most important things with the golf swing is the takeaway,â the chestnut haired one said to the blonde. âIt has to be slow and smooth like this,â she went on pulling the blondeâs arms backwards.
Mandy had never felt anything quite like it. It was as unexpected as it was powerful. As she gave her friend Sara a few tips on golf she suddenly had such a surge of sexual feelings that her entire body seemed to shudder. It was also quite embarrassing for she was sure that it affected her voice and in the way that she may have pressed her breasts and stomach rather more firmly against her friend than the demonstration of the golf swing required.
Sara was a little surprised that her friend was pressed against her but put it down to what Mandy was trying to show her. Even though she felt her friendâs ample breasts pushing into her back she thought nothing of it and concentrated on the slow smooth backswing that Mandy described.
They hadnât known each other very long, just a couple of months. But since Sara had opened the cafĂ© and high quality food shop near to where Mandy lived in London Docklands theyâd become quite close friends. Mandy had met Sara as sheâd worked on getting the shop ready on the ground floor of the apartment block in which Mandy lived with her daughter, coincidentally also called Sarah, but spelt differently. Theyâd chatted and had Sara had invited her to the grand opening. As it turned out it wasnât that grand for very few people turned up.
Since the opening Mandy had got into the habit of popping in most days as a break from her freelance copywriting work to have an espresso or cappuccino. As this was usually mid morning between the breakfast and lunch time busier periods the place was often a fairly quiet and hence the two women could chat easily and, as the weeks passed, they got to know each other fairly well.
Sara was in her mid thirties, a little younger than Mandy as was Mandy but unlike her Sara was happily married with two children both under ten. Her Husband, Liam, was a corporate lawyer with a very high powered job with a leading firm of city solicitors. They lived in Islington, a trendy part of London, and had a live in nanny that enabled Sara to devote herself fully to her business. Sheâd started it because she felt too dependent on Liam and because, since leaving Durham University with a solid 2:1 degree, sheâd never really worked or achieved anything, or so she felt.
Mandy had found herself telling Sara about the successful business that she and her ex had run and that led onto her, unusually, relating many of the details of her marriage break up to her new friend. How sheâd thought that he was the man sheâd spend the rest of her life with. How, until sheâd caught him out in being unfaithful, sheâd never even had a sexual thought about another man let alone done anything like that. How, though, after she found out the second time her views changed. How then sheâd had an affair with David who she still thought was probably the real love of her life. How she had what she called her âred mistsâ that welled up when she suspected Kevin was drifting off again and in them sheâd had two one night, well afternoon in both cases, stands. And how eventually sheâd kicked him out when she found out about his philandering for the third time. She didnât, though tell her about how both prior to her marriage, during it and since it ended sheâd had affairs of one sort or another with a series of other women. Well thatâs not the sort of thing one woman tells another is it?
Sara had responded by telling Mandy that sheâd had a couple of affairs and that although happy in her marriage things were certainly not all they might be in the bedroom. She didnât though tell Mandy that she and Liam hadnât had sex now for almost three months.
Sara came from a moneyed, very middle class background as did her husband Liam. Her father had been a successful banker in the era before the wide boys took over that industry. She glided through her boarding school career doing well at most subjects and sports. University was taken for granted and there she also excelled.
However, her whole conditioning, really, was that sheâd do the education bit but then sheâd settle down, marry well and do what middle class ladies do best, breed children. It hadnât occurred to her to question that and the thought of rebelling had never entered her mind. That is until recently. The past three or four years had seen her undergo a radical change in her thinking and outlook.
It had started with sex. Liamâs drive seemed to wane over a period of a couple of years and Sara often wondered if he was having an affair but quickly cast such thoughts from her mind for he was very straight laced. She put it down to the murderous hours that corporate lawyers work for it seemed that the completion of mergers and acquisitions always happened in the middle of the night. That and the frequent dinners he had to attend as a junior partner in the firm kept them apart a lot and something had to give. And that something was her sexual satisfaction.
Even now, three years later, when she looked back on the times with Barry she could hardly believe it had happened. Sheâd never been unfaithful to Liam before, never really even thought about it. So to go from that to having a full on affair with, of all people, a carpenter joiner was a quantum leap for her. Barry was building some cabinets in their study. Beautiful cabinets made by hand by him. Like many such true craftsmen he worked slowly, after all perfection canât be hurried can it? So Barry spent many days in their sprawling Victorian, town house in Islington. They got to know each other well with him impressing her with his intelligence and free spirited attitude to life. He was eloquent, extremely well read and great at crosswords. Sara had been trying to do the Times crossword each day and, although not too successful, she was persevering, after all she had all the time on her hands to indulge that.
She took to asking Barry for answers and that led to them sitting down each day for coffee doing it together. That led to them sitting close together and that led to them talking about life in general. That led to him asking about why Liam was never around and that led to her opening her heart to him. And that led to him fucking her. And that led to her first affair.
The first time was traumatic for her. Traumatic, guilt inducing, a little demeaning but bloody wonderful.
And that led to them having sex twice or three times a week for almost a month.
At first the guilt and the sense of betrayal of her husband was hard for her to take. But she got used to it and soon she even found it quite exciting to have her secret from Liam. That made her second affair so much easier.
This time it was with a tennis coach. He was a few years younger than Sara and gave her lessons when sheâd taken up tennis after a ten year break. Again sheâd felt herself drawn to him but this time not by any intellectual force. It wasnât Grantâs mind that impressed. It wasnât his way with words or his manner or personality. She didnât feel tenderness, a meeting of the minds or an emotional magnetism with him. No with this six foot three young man it was pure lust. Sheâd never experienced it before. Nice, well brought up middle class ladies donât do lust do they? She did with him though. Almost from the first time she met him she wanted him. Sheâd find herself fantasising about him, thinking what heâd be like in bed and what heâd look like naked. It didnât take her that long to find out.
After the first lesson he had a glass of orange juice with her and they chatted. After the second lesson, he played a few games of tennis with her and had two glasses of orange juice. After the third he suggested lunch and after the fourth he suggested sex. They made love in his car in a car park in the forest near to the club. It was probably the most exciting sex Sara had ever had. That was a few of years ago and it lasted the best part of a year before he announced he was getting married.
âBut we can still see each other Sara, my fiancĂ©e lives in Birmingham,â he announced as she was getting dressed in the back of his car one day.
That did it for her. The sheer cheek and assumptive ness showed her what he really thought of her and Sara classified that as a frustrated married woman needing the diversion of a lover. A wife that didnât get enough at home and was gagging for it on the side. However true that may really be she didnât like the idea of him thinking of her like that and, worse of her being reminded of it. She finished it and had been faithful now for the past two and a bit years.
Her other rebelliousness from the confines of her âhappy marriageâ was the setting up of the cafĂ© and delicatessen. She felt she was at last doing something herself. Something where she wasnât bathing in the reflected light of her superstar lawyer husband. So sheâd become freer, more outgoing and willing to try new things. So when her new friend Amanda had asked if she played golf Sara replied,
âI did before the kids were born and would like to take it up again, but Iâve only played a few times in the past six years or so.â
âGreat,â Mandy had said, âwhy not come to my club, weâll hit some balls on the driving range and then do a few holes.â
They made a date for the following Monday afternoon which was always a slow time after the lunch rush. They both took their own cars to the course dressed in their golf clothes. They hit a few balls on the driving range Amanda being quite impressed with Saraâs swing although she could see a couple of faults that she was sure she could help her friend overcome quite easily. Mandy had been having lessons on and off for some time and she was sure that was a main reason why sheâd managed to get her handicap down to a very respectable fifteen. Lessons and playing two or three times a week since the divorce.
As Mandy put her arms around Sara to demonstrate the takeaway part of the swing the furthest thing from her mind was anything sexual with her new friend. Thus the surge of sexual desire that hit her was as surprising as it was powerful. Mandy had been with several women before. A couple prior to her marriage, one during it and two since. But all had come about either from circumstances or by an advance from the other woman. Sheâd never started anything and in fact had never looked at a woman in the cold light of day, as it was, and thought anything sexual about her. And most certainly sheâd never felt anything like this before.
Yes sheâd had feelings from other women. Very strong feelings. Feelings so powerful that those other women had given her orgasms. But never had she experienced the sensation of wanting to seduce another woman as sheâd been âseduced.â Sheâd never been the predator or the hunter, no sheâd been the prey, the hunted. True, she had to admit with the small number of women sheâd been with, the hunt hadnât needed to very long. She wasnât, she knew, that elusive a prey and she hadnât fought that hard to âescape.â
Not with the three girls at college with whom sheâd formed a close group. So close that a few times theyâd messed around as they experimented with their sexuality. Nothing very serious, just some mild snogging and a little touching of each other as the four of them smoked or drank a little too much. And not with one of that group who sheâd been to wedding with in Scotland and theyâd ended up making love. Her first time alone with another woman.
