I hadn't planned on becoming one of those men who picked up horny housewives or other equally horny women afternoons at the grocery stores around the town I lived in but a chance encounter with a younger woman from my past changed all of that. I had been happily married and totally faithful for twenty six years until my precious wife Brittany was taken from me by an auto accident. It was two weeks short of a year since her death and the same amount of time since I'd had sex short of the masturbation that I'd only been able to begin three months before the meeting that would change my life.
I first met Constance Smith when she was sixteen years old and Britt and I rented a house from her parents. I was twenty eight, Britt was twenty seven, and we had been married for six years at the time. We were still very much in love so I only looked at Connie as the daughter of our landlords and not as a sexual being. Britt and I had to start over after the company I had been working for closed its doors without notice putting me and 500 other poor souls on the unemployment roll. I had gotten a job as an electrician's helper at half what I had been making two months after the bank foreclosed on our house. I began the company's apprenticeship program and learned that maintenance men made better money, worked indoors most of the time, and didn't have to travel tens or hundreds of miles to work like construction electricians did; so I transferred into the company's maintenance apprenticeship program. Britt had dropped out of nursing school after being diagnosed with a chronic illness that had no cure and had ruined her one year of school due to the numerous absences caused by her illness. She worked part time in a fast food restaurant owned by her cousin who knew of her illness and understood when she had to miss work when she was too sick to go in.
Fast forward twenty four years into the present. I was working from twelve midnight to twelve noon Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the factory where I was a maintenance man. Me and my helper did preventive maintenance on the equipment, moved machines around and had them back running before Monday morning, or installed new equipment when it came in. I had given management the proposal for such a program after Britt's death and showed them the money they'd save if they implemented the program. I naturally volunteered for the position when it was put into practice a couple of months later. That left me more days to hunt or fish to fill the empty place in my life from Britt's death. I had also begun working out at a gym to lose the small paunch I had developed over the years. I was fifty two years old and in the best physical shape since my high school years when I played whatever sport was in season. I was not a stud athlete but was good enough to letter in baseball, football, and track my junior and senior years. I got no athletic scholarship offers and went to work in the factory that would eventually close eight years later straight out of high school.
I saw Connie walking down the aisle in front of the meat department of the grocery store I was in that fateful weekday afternoon. I was looking at the fresh fish selection in the case beside the meats when I saw her. She had gained a little weight since the last time I had saw her, but was still a very beautiful young (to me) woman at forty. Her brown hair was feather cut to frame her gorgeous face that was a little rounder than it had been at sixteen. Her breasts were standing out proud in the sleeveless tight blouse she had on and the jeans she had on looked like they had been sprayed on, they were so tight. I began to get hard just looking at her. I got behind the shopping cart I had hoping to hide my erection when she walked over to me.
"Hi, Hunter. I've not seen you in a while. I'm so sorry for not coming to the funeral home for Brittany's wake. Will Jr. had a football game that night and Will and I had to go see him play."
"That's okay, Connie. Your mom and dad came and we had a good cry together. I knew having it on a Friday night wasn't going to be a good night, but I didn't want to delay the funeral any longer than I had to. I was hurting so bad and wanted it to be over. The funeral didn't stop the hurting, but at least I was able to be alone after it to deal with her passing in my own way. Speaking of Will, is everything okay between you two? I only ask because I noticed you don't have on your wedding rings."
I thought my question was innocent and didn't expect the reaction that it brought. Connie started crying big heart wrenching sobs and I thought she was going to collapse; so I rushed to her and wrapped her up in my arms. I held her as she cried herself out against my shoulder. She gave me a wan smile when she was done.
"I'm sorry, Connie. I didn't mean to upset you. Can I buy you a cup of coffee or something to make up for it?"
"How about you buy me a drink in the bar across the street and we'll talk."
We both left our carts where they sat and exited the store. I watched as Connie walked to a Ford Expedition, the largest SUV Ford made. After she had pulled out of her parking space, I walked to my only extravagant expense made with the settlement money from Britt's accident, a fully restored red 1978 280 Z from Nissan. I only drove it on days when the chance of rain was so slim as to be nearly a guarantee not to rain. I drove to the bar and parked beside Connie's SUV. Connie was already seated at a back booth in the darkest corner of the bar. I walked over to the booth and sat down across from her.
"Hunter, you need to promise me that what I'm about to tell you never gets repeated to anyone! Can you do that for me?"
"Yeah Connie, I can. Your parents were good to me and Britt at a time when we needed some help and anything I can do for you to repay that kindness, I'll do."
The waitress came over and took our drink orders which were a white wine for Connie and a beer for me.
"Will has cheated on me since early on in our marriage. I still love him and he's a good father and provider for my family so I have ignored it all these years. He stopped paying attention to me in the bedroom almost six months ago so I've been getting my needs met by young guys I pick up in the grocery stores. I wasn't shopping for groceries; I was trolling for a stud today. That was the second store I'd been in today and I was about to leave when I saw you and wanted to apologize for not coming to Brittany's wake. Please Hunter, nobody can know about this. It would kill mom and dad to know their daughter is a slut for other men and Will would probably divorce me if he found out."
To say I was shocked by her confession would be an understatement. Never in my wildest dream would I have thought Connie was able to do what she had told me she was doing. It took me a moment to get my head back to the present after hearing her story.
"My gosh Connie, I don't know what to say! Of course your secret's safe with me. No one has to know we saw each other today. What made you decide to tell me anyway?"
"I've wanted to tell somebody for so long now. I feel guilty every time I do this, but I get so frustrated when Will ignores my needs that I have to do something. Dildos and masturbation are cheap substitutes to the real thing. I thought you'd keep my secret like you kept the one from when we lived beside each other."
I had kept the secret of her sneaking out of her house to have sex with her then boyfriend in her dad's huge combination garage and work shop. At the time I had caught them together when I came home four hours later than normal after having to work overtime at the factory I was working in. I had gone to investigate when I heard strange sounds coming from the garage. Connie and her boyfriend were fucking each other with all they had and that was the moment I stopped seeing a teenage girl but a very beautiful sexy woman. I never told anyone what I'd seen, not even Britt, but Connie had been in my fantasies for years after that night.
"Connie, I don't know what type of man you're looking for, but you've been in my fantasies since that night I caught you fucking your boyfriend. Maybe we could make those fantasies come true sometime. I'm not a young stud, but I know how to please a woman if Britt was telling me the truth all those years. What do you say?"
"I say: Why wait? I've had fantasies about you for almost as long as you've had of me. I heard Britt's screams of pleasure on those late nights when the two of you would fuck with the windows open and I couldn't sleep. I would always dream that I had been the one you were making scream like that after you all were done. I can assure you she wasn't faking those then. Let's go get a motel and fuck like rabbits the rest of the afternoon. The boys won't be home from basketball practice until late and it's hard telling when Will will get home tonight."
"We don't have to waste money on a motel. My house is isolated out in the county and not that far from here. I'll give you the remote for the garage door opener and you can drive right in and no one will know you're there. You can open the other side for me once you get in the garage. Does that work for you?"
"Yeah Hunter, that works perfectly for me!"
Connie left the booth and went to the ladies' room. I waited a couple of minutes, left cash for our drinks and a tip for the waitress on the table, and walked out to my ride. I laid the garage door opener on the left front tire of Connie's SUV and pulled out of the bar's parking lot to wait on Connie to follow me home. We were at my house in ten minutes and in each other's arms seconds after entering the main part of my house.
