I looked at the email and laughed. It was from the lady that I hired for a massage at our house, she dropped by every two weeks, middle of the day to work on my poor old body.
"Grandma was right, we women keep secrets" it read, with a smiley face.
I had run an ad a few months back, in Craigslist of all places. Of course it pays to be cautious there, because one never knows what might show up. But every once in awhile, one turns out to be a keeper.
Of course you all know what a keeper is, it is a lady that not only is reasonably attractive and pleasant, but has no real inhibitions, and once they decide you are OK, has no real concerns about taking care of anything that comes up. Add in some good hands and yep, my idea of a keeper.
Now being married, I always kept that part discreet, no point in upsetting the better half. I mean, it isn't like I am out having an affair, to me, it is a simple business arrangement, I get worked over and some much needed relief, something the wife handled happily when we were both much younger.
But now, she has her own bedroom and I have mine, and like many long term married couples, sex is a rare event and something she seems to be comfortable doing without.
The wife's name is Leann, Lee for short. 5'2", 103 pounds, back when her body was young and all, she was an eager bed partner. As things settled, her clothing style changed from pretty and a bit of a showoff to functional, and it was about that time when she mentioned I tossed and turned at night so she was moving into the other bedroom.
Sometimes in the Summer we used to go the a local park, a short walk got us to an area by the lake where clothing was optional. Lee thought nothing at all of peeling down and running around stark naked, and without fail that night she would be all hot to trot. Can't say I minded one bit, I was proud of her very snug and athletic body, so that stuff was a turn on for me too. Lee was a merciless tease, which added to the mix.
Then came the change. At the lake, she wore her bathing suit, and never took it off. Then, she had a new suit, a one piece? When I asked, she mentioned her tummy was getting a little bulgy, which to me it wasn't, but that is what she said.
Next it was drab blouses and slacks, she got her long hair cut shorter and quit bothering to dye it. When the bedroom switch came, I began to suspect my own life was in for some changes, also. We still had sex, if I pushed a little bit, but clearly it was with some reluctance, which is just no real fun. Over a few months, I quit pushing and she never seemed to mind one bit.
So, getting close to going nuts, one Saturday I made an excuse, went down to a place I knew of. I got my body washed, pampered, a dandy hand job and I went home all happy and comfortable.
Now I suppose that is cheating? I mean, I didn't mention it to Lee, of course not. That became a twice a month thing for me, I did tell the wife I was getting "rubdowns" and she did not react at all since I told her how it helped with the aches and pains, and with my circulation and all of that.
"It's good for you, honey. It will help keep you healthy." She came over, kissed me on the cheek and that was that. I had figured she would have a conniption fit at the idea of some other female rubbing my bare body, but she didn't.
I got braver, found one that would come right to the house, which was good. A couple of sessions and she progressed to taking care of things, by this time I was getting pretty good at letting whoever was working on me know where my interests lay.
Then, I saw the new ad, it was on that back page site that I had been checking out. Mostly hookers, and the oriental places which I had already learned to avoid. Sure, "You tip me plenty big much" would get about anything a person wanted, but I admit to being sort of... cheap?
So, some gal that will, for the $80-100 I was willing to part with was what I was looking for. The new ad sounded like a maybe, so I sent a response.
"Looking for old friends." Is about all the ad read. There was a photo, of a slender lady, mature, long reddish hair and if she was a hooker, she didn't look like any I had ever seen, anyway.

Heather showed up right on time, the wife was home and greeted her with a big smile. Yeah, I know, that is odd all by itself but of course I was quite sure the wife was completely clueless. I never mentioned the happy ending stuff and she didn't ask.
I came out from my shower dressed in my old bathrobe to find Heather and the wife chatting away like a couple of long lost sisters.
"I guess I will go in and get ready." I said.
"OK, honey. I have to run to town and do some shopping, have fun." Lee glanced over at me and they went right back to their hen party. I set my home table up in my bedroom, that way it is nice and private. Lee was used to that part since I had by then had maybe 3 or 4 different gals over for a massage.
I must have laid there for 15 minutes before Heather finally came in. I was laying on the table, an oversize towel over my backside.
"Sorry, your wife is a real sweetheart, we were really having a conversation." She said with a giggle. Then she went right to work. Now I had by then had probably a dozen different sets of hands on me, instantly it was clear that Heather was different.
I mean, any of you who have experienced a lot of massages will know what I mean. There is touch, then good touch, and then there is some kind of energy thing that is magic. There is no way to teach that, the ones that have it do, and the ones that don't can still be good but.. there really is no way to explain.
