I met an interesting man. His table had a vacant chair in the crowded student union, and I took it. We met, and the chemistry of attraction had a fizz. He was unusually good looking, manly handsome in all those subliminal ways only a woman sees, even though what she sees is not clearly defined. There were too many parts flitting about; parts that touched recognition buried somewhere in me, a recognition that had tentacles reaching all the way back to childhood possibly, and possibly brushing over males without count that had left marks on my brain for unknown reasons. And then there were those recent reasons of man imprint that made my mind almost shout: "Can it be? Is this Dennis Cantrell the ideal man?"
Was it only a year or so ago my husband and I had discovered a treasure of erotic excitement in my telling him in full detail my sexual experiences with men when I was single? He came to fully accept his deep releasing thrill in my words and his vivid mental images of other men fucking me. I found, and completely accepted, my own sexual thrill in sharing my past with him, loving him all the more for his bonding with me, his fusion with me, when I described other men fucking me, even desiring me. Our treasure chest expanded to the possibility of contemporary men, not memory men of years past, fucking me, his wife.
We had even rehearsed the idea, an exercise of both delicious fun and serious investigation, that left us with tacit agreement that this next step had a sound logic and potential to give us erotic thrills and excitement greater than any we had shared yet. That tacit agreement slept quietly for a few months, then I accidentally met Dennis Cantrell, and came home to tell my husband "I met an interesting man today." My husband had conditioned response interest in my new interest. Our sleeping tacit agreement came awake and saw sunlight streaming through the windows.
I went to the student union the same time as yesterday. Dennis was no where in sight. Nor was he the next day. Damn! The third day he was.
"There you are! I've been looking all over for you." I sat at his table, rather breathless, a woman on a mission.
"Have you!" He said, surprised, flattered, beaming.
"Yes I have. I greatly enjoyed your company the other day, and wanted more of it. What is your schedule? Mine is somewhat tight, and next time I take a break here I don't want to look everywhere to find you."
Dennis was flabbergasted. Obviously, he wasn't used to a woman coming on to him so directly. But he quickly adapted, his ego and self-esteem inflated and giving him buoyancy.
"Then we must set a fixed time to meet each day."
"If you enjoy my company as much as I enjoy yours, that is."
"A pretty, vivacious, charming woman like you? Of course I enjoy your company. More than I dare say."
"Done deal then. I will be your away from home diversion, and you will be my away from student and faculty diversion. Mutual benefit. And who knows? Soon we might dare to say many things to each other." My unflinching gaze into his eyes, my smile of invitation, confirmed my readiness for daring adventure. "So! How are your classes going?"
Dennis seemed relieved by my abrupt change of direction. My bold and unmistakable flirtation, all on the strength of accidental meeting over coffee three days earlier, had stunned him. Truth be told, I was a little wobbly myself. The more I listened to him speak, and sponged up all his body language of most appealing masculinity, the more I thought I had indeed found the ideal man to make love with. I had recently concluded there was no such thing as that ideal man. Now I was being proved wrong. But I knew (even then I thought of my husband) I knew it would very difficult to describe to Jamie all those signals from Dennis that were turning me on.
His hair cut. The same as a hundred million other men had theirs cut, but looked so uniquely perfect on HIM! The shape of his skull; all the planes and protrusions and valleys in perfect sculptural proportion. His brows the exact width and length. His eyes were a greenish hazel that glistened and sparkled with animation, but they also embedded gentleness and kindness.
His body was a fantasy ideal. I had already decided it would be best if my selected lover had physical construction different from my husband. Just for novelty alone. Dennis was a bit taller than Jamie. He was thicker. Not a weight lifter type, and certainly not pudgy. It was like his broad shoulders and back and chest was layered in slabs of muscle. He had what they call a barrel chest, rounded from his pecs all the way down to his crotch, but he had no pot. If we ended up in bed, he would fuck me with great strength and energy. His hairy forearms free of the polo shirt were packed with long ropy muscle that jumped and twanged at the slightest movement of his hands, which were big with nicely articulated fingers. If we didn't make it to the bed those big hands could clutch my ass and hold my full weight of my legs around him while he fucked me standing. Now THAT I could tell to my husband - after it happened.
I was multi-tasking. While registering all the signals of his physical appearance and body language, I was also absorbing personal information from what he said, and adding to that information with questions. We chatted for an hour. For a man, he was unusually free in talking about himself, his children, with occasional references to his wife Cindy. I kept my references to Jamie at a minimum, but in the end we established we were both happily married, were emotionally stable, happy with our lives and careers, and found in each other a light hearted and stimulating diversion worthy of maintaining. We exchanged cell numbers in case we got tied up in personal business - more specifically, to arrange these continued coffee dates.
After work I was bubbling with possibility and couldn't wait for Jamie to get home.
"I ran into that Dennis Cantrell again today."
"I thought maybe you would, sooner or later."
"He's worth the chase. I must say that. We had a nice chat over coffee in the student union."
"So. You are now chasing him?"
"A figure of speech. He's very handsome, in that all man way. Very warm and generous personality too."
"So what did you chat about?"
"The university. His courses. His career. A little about his wife and children back home all week. I asked several questions, in a sly way, to learn his particulars. I think he is our kind of people. The kind, you know, our rehearsal a few months ago demanded."
"Are you reviving that rehearsal?"
"You greatly enjoyed that, didn't you." I stated a fact.
"It expanded my consciousness, I have to say that."
"Expanded yours and mine. Enough that we don't need any more rehearsal, I think. I'm ready for the curtain rise and spot lights on. Are you?"
My husband gave me a long pensive look. "I don't know," he finally breathed out. "Maybe. Sort of. Half way I suppose."
I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. I didn't kiss him. I was reassuring him I reassured him with my body tight to his, my hands feeling all of him within reach, his neck and shoulders and back and arms and a hearty grip of his ass cheeks. His loving wife who loved him and only him. I stepped back.
"We both are jumping the gun, perhaps. This takes much more than two chats over coffee. We have only begun some mild flirtation. His attraction for me might far exceed my attraction for him."
"Fat chance." Jamie said with authority.
"You never know. I will keep coffee dates with him when I can, and just see how it will play out. There is plenty of time for you to get in further, pass that half way point, and say yes I'm ready, let's do this.... Or say no, I can't do this." I added.
"Say yes. Or say no. Sounds fair enough."
Dennis and I began texting. "Meet at three?... Great! See you then." "Sorry, a student crisis, darn it, see you tomorrow?" Thus, I began a courtship with, and seduction of, Dennis Cantrell.
I bought new clothes. Professional pant suits that held my ass in a snug round fit, summer dresses. The air was warm and sunny, trees almost in full leaf. A perfect setting for romance. I did some very careful shopping to find new clothes that were modestly revealing and sexy without going too far beyond the strictures of professional decorum. I found some bras of filmy light knit that made me look braless, but still gave support and uplift. My husband noticed at once, and gave me fulsome praise and approval. Dennis noticed too, with straying eyes that gave his whole face a glow of approval. I felt beautiful and sexy and desirable.
There wasn't much comprehensive report to make for Jamie in my first ten days of dates with Dennis. I was a little bit bold, but cautious and deliberate in feeling him out. He didn't seem to have any curiosity about my husband. My main interest in his marriage was to gage his personality, his general sense of responsibility. I didn't have to probe much to gain that. If he was good to his wife, he would be good to me. Otherwise, his wife, along with my husband, remained an unknown, outside the picture Dennis and I were painting. I concentrated on driving home the thesis that I was his diversion during his week away from his wife and children, and he was my diversion from career duties, a diversion that pleased me more each time I saw him and chatted with him. In a few weeks his courses would be done and he would be gone. We were ships passing in the night.
My husband's thesis to drive home was concern that colleagues, even students, might see the frequency of my meeting with Dennis and raise brows and wag tongues. I assured him that was unlikely, and if it did occur he was just another student. Every professor on campus could be seen at some time in private conference with a student in a public place. I even had time blocked out for conferences with students in my office with the door closed. And that gave me an idea, which I didn't reveal to Jamie then.
I typed a text: "Meet me on the plaza, next to that huge metal sculpture that looks like rusted spaghetti. 3 p.m."
Dennis was on time, standing at the base of the sculpture, staring up at the twisted iron work, trying like all others to see why it was said to be a work of art. He was wearing khaki pants and his favorite, apparently, polo shirt style. He looked every bit the part of an ideal lover. A strong solid man, muscular and capable. His ass a neat round, neither small nor large, and doubtless a driving force that would make his hard cock a piston ramming my cunt. With that thought in mind , I got out my cell phone and took several shots of him while he was oblivious of my near presence.
"What a beautiful day!" I exclaimed, reaching him with a skip and hop.
"Spring sprung and summer is just around the corner. May I say how lovely you look?"
My chest and face flushed with pleasure at his compliment. I felt lovely in my new summer dress. I felt womanly under the light fabric gracing my curves and hills and valleys. That womanly state of sexuality oozing through the weave of femininity.
"You are quite the masculine hunk of eye candy yourself." I said with a smile of infatuation and a look into his eyes that declared my weakness for his allure, with a lift of my hand to barely touch the long silky soft hairs on his brawny forearm. "I have to run an errand and thought you might like to join me."
I could see his mind scanning a list of housewife errands - Oil change? Pay a utility bill, buy a new pair of shoes? He quickly said, "My pleasure. I'm at your service."
"A jaunt to the Farmer's Market." I said. "I'll drive."
