I think I'm going to look into HRT." I said as we both reached across the table.
Lisa's warm hands held mine. I felt her thumb reach into my palm. She pressed inward, her thumb tracing my palm, reading the lines, and testing me for tenderness, like a filet on a grill.
And me, of course, in this inescapable aroused condition, couldn't help myself, as I jumped into my secret fantasy world, filled with the image of me, submissive, willing, on my hands and knees, a spit-roast, skewers in my mouth and ass.
"Lisa, how often do you masturbate?"
"Whenever and wherever I can." She replied, with a sly grin and a shake of her head, blond bangs, cascading down over her blue eyes, dark lashes, inquiring mind.
"The first time I masturbated with someone else was with a friend in college." I said with an air of nonchalance, concealing my deep-seated insecurity, and fear of allowing anyone, even my closest friend, into my private fantasy world, the wannabe submissive slut, horny, cheating bisexual wife.
"Her name was Nina."
"I guess she was pansexual."
"She dated this guy named Jeff, one of my friends from home, and he introduced us."
"She was kind of plain and nerdy, like Jeff, but I was interested in her, like a cat with a bird, and I was surprised at how easily she could be manipulated by off hand suggestions."
"Sounds like a real winner." Lisa said with a smirk, jolting me back into reality.
"Me and Nina were sitting on a bench at the edge of the campus commons, waiting for class. It was the middle of the day, sunny and warm, students were milling around, eating, chatting; we were just two bubbles in the ocean "
"I told Nina that I liked her braids." It was my excuse to reach over, up and onto the back of her neck, and run my fingers through the one plait that fell down onto her shoulder, the loose ends touching the top of her small breasts, bare beneath her v-neck tank.
"I remember the way Nina just stared down at her hands, clasped in her lap, frozen, like a block of marble, waiting for the mason and sculptor's next artful blow."
"I'm not a cougar, Lisa." I said abruptly, anticipating Lisa's inevitable smirk.
"Nina was just so innocent, vulnerable, supple, inviting."
"She reminded me of myself, and I just couldn't resist the temptation to explore."
I took a serious look into Lisa's eyes, that said I was about to reveal something about myself, the reason I started our conversation, the fact that menopause was sending me to places I'd never imagined I could explore.
"Nina allowed me to place my other hand on her thigh. I traced the hem of her shorts with my index finger, as if I was interested in the fabric and waited for her response, which was almost obedient. She moved her leg toward me, and I noticed her clasped hands turn slightly away, resting on her hip."
"I could see the outline of her panties through the thin cotton and considered the trim of her sex, swelling slightly below the surface, Nina's soft split peach."
"Just like yours." Lisa said with a knowing laugh, that brought a smile to my face, and a rush of heat to my chest, the blush on my cheeks, showing the embarrassing twist of my nipples, as they hardened and peaked through my silk blouse.
I paused for a moment to reflect on my own reaction to Nina, the way my mouth watered, and my juice began to flow as my hand reached up under her shorts.
I remembered scanning the crowded commons, looking for uninvited guests. Then, I looked down at my manicured thumb, resting like a black comma on the white page of Nina's shorts.
My fingertips followed the wet stream up into her slit, four dark fingerlings, in unfamiliar water.
She remained frozen, but I caught a glimpse of her dark eyes, rolling back ever so slightly, as I opened the gate with my middle finger. The pressure of my palm landed on what I assumed was her clitoris, and Nina responded with a deep breath and slight shudder.
