I noticed Paul and Kay's return address as I opened the envelope. I hadn't heard from them since a Christmas card last winter. It was a birth announcement. They had a new son and had named him Tom. I was flattered they had named him after me and happy for them as I knew they would be delighted to have a brother for their daughter.
It was all pretty amazing. A hundred different things could have kept it from working out the way it did. Let me back up and explain what happened.
One day Kay visited my store and I waved her over to my counter to say hi. I was a pharmacist in one of the remaining independent pharmacies in 2003. I hadn't seen her in a few years and it was great to see her again. As we visited I noticed she looked uncomfortable and asked what the problem was. She sheepishly asked what I would recommend for female cramps. I made a recommendation and commented that she should check with her doctor as most young women don't get cramps these days. I noticed that Kay was a little teary eyed and I asked if anything else was wrong. At that point she broke down even more and got very choked up. As I rung up her purchase I told her I would like to buy her lunch tomorrow if she wanted to talk and that my number was on the receipt.
I was a little surprised when Kay called the next day and we arranged to meet at a pizza shop we had gone to often when I was her softball coach eight years earlier. We ended up talking for nearly three hours. I had been to Kay's wedding two years ago but hadn't seen her much since. Kay had grown up in my neighborhood and I had coached the local girls' softball team for a number of years and we had gotten pretty close. Kay was a gangly young teenager when I first coached her but she matured into a lovely young woman and a very competent pitcher when she played her last season at 18. She was also one of those young women that you occasionally need to remind yourself is only slightly older than your kids and you might not want to be caught staring at her too much. A few years later she was a beautiful 24 year old bride with a handsome husband and a promising future as a teacher and coach at the local junior high school. Now she was a stressed-out emotional mess as we visited.
To make a long story not so long, the first year of her marriage had gone fine but things deteriorated in the second year and a few months ago she caught her drunken husband doing the dirty with an old girlfriend. Kay returned early from a rained out ballgame to witness her husband with cock pumping in and out of a naked woman's mouth as she lay on Kay and Paul's marriage bed. It took Kay a few moments for the scene in front of her to sink in and when it did she screamed an unnatural string of obscenities as the two scurried for their clothes. The very nervous, busty, naked brunette woman scrambled to find her clothes. Sliding on her shorts and blouse she quickly exited leaving her bra and panties littering the bedroom floor. Paul scurried to find his briefs and stumbled in his drunken condition to climb into his shorts and tuck his very hard wet cock in his shorts.
Over the ensuing several days, the heated and tearful confrontations ended up in accusations of Kay being a cold bore in the bedroom which created frustrations that had lead to a few too many drinks and giving in to temptation. Paul said he was sorry and pleaded for forgiveness. But Kay was far from being able to forgive so quickly. As the painful next days passed, bitterness set in and things deteriorated. Paul began to harbor uncertainty as to the future of their relationship. A few very tense weeks led to his decision to take a six month overseas assignment for the oil exploration company he worked for to give them both some time to cool off and reflect.
Kay was both crushed and furious. She was very much in love and stunned with both the fact that Paul had cheated and with the fact that he had put some of the blame on her for not fully satisfying him in the bedroom. She was in tears from the hurt but also seething to extract revenge. I remembered just how much of a competitor Kay was when she played softball.
After hours of detailing the full situation Kay looked at me with her bloodshot eyes and said, "Coach, how should I play this?"
I started with some questions and told her to think about them and we would get together in a few days. I asked Kay if the relationship was worth saving, if she would ever be able to trust Paul again, and, if she was willing to commit herself to make changes to fix the problem.
Kay and I met the following week to visit. She had exchanged a few emails with Paul about financial matters and family but the subject of their relationship had not been broached. She had had several sleepless nights thinking about my questions. She had some answers. Yes, the relationship was worth saving as she was convinced they still both loved each other and that Paul had no interest in the other woman other than for sex. She wasn't sure if she could ever trust Paul again, that would take time to determine. And finally, yes, she was willing to do what she could to make things right but she wasn't sure what that might mean and wasn't sure she had done anything wrong.
She turned and asked, "So coach, what do I need to do now?" I told Kay we needed to talk in an even more private location so we left the restaurant and walked toward her car. As we walked I told Kay that the only evidence I had as to what was wrong was her comments and Paul's behaviors suggesting that their sex life might have been a disappointment to him. I continued, "You are obviously very attractive and in good shape so that shouldn't be the issue. The other thing I know is that you weren't on the pill and I presume you were monkeying around with condoms or an IUD of something -- that could have contributed to the lack of spontaneity and his frustrations.
As I looked at Kay she was slightly flush but I pushed her to talk about it. I questioned if there were medical or religious reasons for not being on the pill or birth control shots. I told her that there were any choices and dosages and a strong safety profile. Kay simply said it was a decision from years ago at her mother's urging and she would take care of it. We scheduled a visit for the following Friday evening.
At the time I was widowed having lost my wife to cancer two years prior. My children were in college away from home and I kept myself busy with my pharmacy and several rental properties I had accumulated over the years. I also had become very active in dating in the past year but was not seeing anyone seriously. Kay was now a very attractive young woman. She had outgrown her lanky teenage figure and matured into a beautiful fit woman. She had shoulder length soft wavy brunet hair, long shapely legs and tight shapely bottom. A very warm smile on a face that was perhaps more cute than beautiful but with big brown doe eyes that could be very seductive. Her hips, waist and bust were nicely proportioned and deserving of a second or third look by any male with a pulse.
The Friday evening was, in retrospect, pretty amazing. It started with dinner then continued with a two hour visit in my home. It consisted of a chronicling of Kay's sexual and dating experiences from high school thru the recent episode with her husband. I had Kay's full confidence as she revealed details not known to her husband, friends or parents. I felt something like a counselor as she talked through various relationships and activities. I listened attentively, probed and questioned on occasion and comforted. She lost her virginity at 17 on the first evening that she had gotten drunk. An event barely remembered and not fondly. She dated through her senior year with several guys and lots of necking and petting that she ended before any relationships went further. As a freshman in college she was in a serious relationship for half the year and had what she describes as "nice sex" until her boyfriend got her high one night and allowed a couple of guys in the frat to see her naked body after she crashed in his room. The next two years consisted of lots of dates and lots of rejected young men as Kay was looking for mister right and not just a fun date. As a senior Kay met Paul.
They dated for nine months before she relented and they became sexually active for the 15 months before they were married. Kay enjoyed the sex because it made Paul happy and made them feel close. He could give her an orgasm with clitoral stimulation while he cuddled and kissed her neck and breasts. They tried anal but Kay vetoed it when it hurt and Paul got frustrated. She "kissed his penis" but no real blow jobs. Paul enjoyed "nibbling on her private parts" but it didn't seem he had perfected his ability to get her to enjoy it. Paul's favorite was having sex in the shower while Kay most enjoyed the missionary position in bed after a nice diner and glass of wine. They had christened every room in the house and the back seat of the car. Kay blushed when she described being screwed while in the ocean when they were on their honeymoon in the Caribbean. Paul was always encouraging new adventures but Kay was more traditional. Kay had found porn "dirty" and had a drawer full of clothes that Paul had bought her as gifts where the skirts were "too short" and the blouses "to tight or to low cut" for her to be willing to wear.
As we talked Kay began to realize that she hadn't exactly been a ball of fire when it comes to enjoying a fun sex life. As it was time for me to get going I looked at Kay and told her I had an assignment for the week. Kay was on summer break and had a lot of time on her hands for the next few months with no coaching or teaching and her husband away. I told Kay I wanted her to spend the next week watching several hours of porn a day. She looked at me incredulously. I told her to get a PayPal account and watch a lot of different kinds of online porn. Also, watch a dozen cable porn movies then next week report on what you saw and how it affected you.
As the week passed, I had an unexpected need to travel out of town so stopped by an adult store and purchased a collection of vibrators, dildos, and sex toys and took them to Kay's. I handed her the bag at the door and told her I couldn't make our usual weekly get together so her next assignment was to spend the week masturbating.
"I want you to know exactly how to get yourself off quickly and repeatedly by the end of the week. I will expect a full report when I get back." I said as she peeked in the bag and realized its contents. Kay smiled softly, with a look that suggested she was a little embarrassed but curious. "How is the porn going" I asked. "I'll call in a few days and you can tell me about your favorites." Then I was off.
I called Kay a few days later and asked for a report on the porn viewing. She had followed my instruction and watched lots of porn both on the web and cable. She laughed when she described her $240 dollar extra cable fees in the last ten days. She was very talkative, describing how she was grossed out initially then got a little numb to the close ups of sex organs. She found the variety of "physical attributes of the actors interesting."
