My wife Lauren and I moved from Florida to Maryland once our youngest graduated high school so she could be closer to family and to get away from Miami. We had always wanted to have space to ourselves without neighbors to worry about and made our dream come true when we found a house on 30 acres about 90 minutes west of DC. The property was everything we had hoped for and more, with woods, creeks babbling throughout and an amazing view from the house to boot.
Lauren had never been happier, and to tell the truth, neither had I. Life in Miami had been fulfilling but very hectic with my big extended family and school schedules, making money, dinner, on and on. We'd had it with the ever increasing crowds and traffic, and this new life suited us both perfectly.
Our days were spent chatting, cooking, watching movies and watching the wind blow through the leaves. I loved seeing Lauren in all the sweaters she hadn't ever been able to wear, and her cheeks rosy and flushed.
She has been beautiful since the day I met her, and she is as beautiful today. Lauren has a sweet face, kind brown eyes and full, soft cheeks. Her hair is thick and brown with streaks of silver. Her hair was the first thing I noticed about her and it gets ever more striking. Her skin is very fair, milky and white and it has a very welcoming give when you touch her. Her body is soft and curvy, with big flaring hips and what I can only describe as a fat, juicy ass that once you see, you can't stop staring at. Her breasts are round and firm with perfect nipples that get hard and push into your hands when she's excited, and her thighs are pillows I would happily die between.
I am absolutely in love with her, as I've always been, and I always will be. There is something so special about her that I would be terrified of life without her. This move had reinvigorated us and we were both looking at this new chapter as a clean slate with all the time in the world to fall deeper into each other, out here in the quiet.

One Friday afternoon about a month after we moved in, her sister Lisa was over baking and laughing with Lauren while I sat on the couch playing a game on my laptop. There had been a bit of nervous anticipation that past week because the land next to ours had been bought and we had seen a few moving trucks and an RV pulling in earlier. No matter how many trees are between you, a neighbor is still your neighbor, and you always hope for a good one.
Our plan was to go over once they had been able to settle in and welcome them to the neighborhood with baked goods in hand. My sister in law can get a little carried away with baking and she had a wide sugar-crusted selection of still-warm treats covering the counter on wire racks.
"When do you think we should go over?" I asked from the couch over the laughter.
"I need another hour for the last cookies to come out of the oven" Lisa called back.
Lauren was bent over the counter at the waist, with her butt sticking out in all its glory and I gave her a good, long appreciative look. I was truly lucky. I decided to take a little walk while the baking ran its course and gave my wife a firm slap on the ass, wrapped my arms around her and gave her a big firm kiss on the cheek.
"Love you, I'll be back in half an hour" I said as she waved me off.
I went out onto our porch and felt the cool air hit me. This really was the life I was meant to live, I thought to myself. I really did well.
I walked into the woods to check on a nest I'd come across a few weeks prior, for no real reason other than the mother bird kept making it bigger out of scraps of this or that and it was interesting to see what she came up with.
I found it safe and sound deep in the small bush where I'd seen it yesterday. The little eggs sat undisturbed and the nest itself hadn't grown by any perceptible amount. I smiled at it for a minute, and then walked slowly back to the house where I figured it would be close to time.

As I rounded the corner from the woods and approached the porch, I saw a figure about fifteen feet ahead of me crouched down with a small package tucked under his arm. The ups driver was no rare sight at our house, but from what I could see he wasn't wearing the uniform and our usual driver was a 5'7" white guy with a mustache, and whoever this was, definitely wasn't him.
"Hello there" I called out. I could see now he had been retying the laces on his boot and he suddenly stood up and turned towards me. He was tall, I could see now, at least 6'3" and I had to tilt my head up slightly to make eye contact. He flashed me a big, slightly nervous smile and said "Hi there, sorry to walk up on you all like this unexpectedly, I'm your new neighbor Caleb."
He reached out a large hand to shake and I walked over to him. He was impressive to look at, to say the least. He was big, broad shouldered and looked solid from head to toe. He had a shaven head with nice friendly features and a gray beard with white stubble, but most striking was his dark, deeply brown skin that made everything else pop off in contrast. He was an eyeful.
He gripped my hand and I said "Hello, I'm Danny, it's nice to meet you. Funny you should come over, we were literally about to do the same." I looked around for his wife or kids, or anyone, even a car, but it was just him as far as I could see.
He was wearing a gray t-shirt spattered with a little paint and jeans along with his weathered boots. We stood there dumbly for a second until he said again, in a deep voice "I saw this package with your address sitting next to the empty planter they left behind, I figured I'd bring it over before it got shuffled in with my boxes."
"Well that's neighborly, I like you already" I said to him. I examined the small box and realized I should invite him in to meet Lauren and Lisa. "I'm sorry I feel rude, would you like to come in and meet my wife and sister in law? Or would you rather just do it at your house in fifteen minutes so we can meet everyone all at once?"
