Fortunately I was just getting ready to go and do the weeks shopping when the phone rang.
"Hi, Sue! How's things?" I asked.
"I'm lonely." she replied.
"Bill not back yet then?"
"His job's running behind. Won't be back for a couple more weeks." I was told.
It's between 170 and 185 miles, depending on the route taken, door to door and I was there in time for dinner. I pecked Sue affectionately on each cheek, took my over nights bag to my room, had a quick shower to freshen up and was downstairs just as she was serving dinner. I helped her put the dishes in the dish washer then we both sat in the conservatory with the coffees and watched the sea go back and forth on the pebble beach. We chatted about this and that until bed time. At home I didn't bother with pyjamas and had forgotten to pack any but it didn't really matter as there was always the dressing gown hanging on the back of the door if I needed the loo in the night. I slept like a log.
Sue woke me about eight when she came in with mug of tea in each hand. She was wearing the long silk dressing gown that Bill had brought back from the Far East years ago. I had seen her in it many times in the past it being her favourite. In the past it had always been carefully closed and fastened with a tight sash belt giving no hint whatsoever of what might or might not have been worn beneath. On that morning it had been neither closed nor fastened and it was perfectly clear that nothing was being worn beneath.
I might be a widower in my sixties but dead I ain't! I liked what I saw and made no attempt to hide the fact.
"You like?" she asked totally unnecessarily as she bent to put the mug of tea on the bedside table.
The previous evening, while we sat and chatted in the conservatory, she had dropped more than a couple of hints that it wasn't just Bill's company that she missed. I had to keep reminding myself that she was Bill's wife. I had no love interest to be true to and any other woman would only have had to hint that a little something extra might be available. This was Bill's wife! A different kettle of fish entirely.
"Very much so," I admitted, blatantly watching the top of her gown swing open to fully expose her full, ripe breasts.
"Good! Mind if I join you?" she said as she walked around the bed and placed the other mug on the little chest of drawers. She stood straight, slid the gown off her shoulders and stood before me inviting inspection.
She was/is beautiful. Her hair shone and she clearly hadn't just got out of bed. Her eyes sparkled with mischief mixed with delight. Her full breasts heaved as she enjoyed my close inspection as much as I. The nipple on each looked hard and inviting. Her belly was flat, never having suffered the ravages of childbirth, and led the eye directly down to the flat, smooth mons at the apex of long, slender, slightly parted legs. Exquisite!
