My morning was starting out as any other had. An hour and a half of driving halfway across the state, sit in on a fifteen minute meeting, collect my paperwork and equipment, load up my truck and head out into the county for the rest of the day. My name is Steve, and I'm a cable lineman. There's not really too much to tell about me. I grew up a fairly normal kid, did well in school, graduated near the top of my class. Although I had my pick of just about any college in the state I wanted to go to, I found my calling in my first free summer when I started working for my uncle, who was a cable company sub-contractor. I did a lot of the grunt work like digging trenches for lines, crawling underneath houses with just a foot or so of crawlspace, carefully trying to climb my way through hot attics in the summer heat. It was rough work, tiring work that kept you out from dawn 'til dusk and then some. But the money was fantastic. My uncle paid me the same rate he earned for any work he did, and I cleared $10,000 my first summer of working. I knew this was the job for me.
So now I've been doing this for ten years, and I can't complain about my place in life. I have more than enough money, I live in a nice house sitting on about 60 acres of prime horse farm country in Kentucky. I've had a few girlfriends, but nobody I ever felt close enough with to take that next step. Not that I ever seem to have the time. I'm busting my back at least 45 hours a week. I don't mind it though because the pay is so good, I am considering retiring in just another decade as long as they don't slash my rates. I'm definitely no slouch, though. I work hard, and I may not look like an adonis, but my body is strong and stout, and solid where it needs to be ... everyplace but my stomach. A little paunch there, but I don't have the beer gut that seem to consume many of my co-workers. Overall, I think I'm an acceptable catch. I can hold my own in just about any conversation, I've got decent looks, and I've never had a woman complain about my bedroom performance either. Still, I've never been able to make that right connection with a potential wife. Maybe that's why I work as much as I do, to avoid thinking about it?
As I was saying, this particular morning started out like all the rest. My first stop of the day was a trouble call that was made last night. The subscriber complained that all of his channels were out. As I pulled up to the house, I could immediately see what the problem was. The main line running to their home was down. As I pulled up to the pole that the line was mounted to and running down, it appeared as if somebody had taken a hatchet to the line and just chopped the devil out of it. From the pole the line ran underground all the way to the house, so I was certain I had found the culprit. It only took me a few minutes to repair the breach, and then I drove on up to the house to see if the owner was in and check their reception to ensure everything was restored to satisfaction.
Like a lot of homes out in the country in Kentucky, it sat on a wide plot of land, a little hilly but it look like it had been leveled at some point. It had a big modern 2-story house, a beautiful garden in front leading the way to the front door. I made my way up the steps, and I rang the doorbell. Not getting an answer, I knocked on the door this time, and still no response. I started to walk away when I heard the door open.
"OHMYGOD! The cable company!," I heard a voice say. "I totally forgot my husband said you were coming out this morning!"
I turned around, and received a very surprising image. There stood a leggy brunette, 5'11", wearing only a slinky but solid black satin camisole and a matching pair of panties. I couldn't help but start at the bottom and work my way up to her face. I also couldn't help but blush at this half-naked woman standing in her doorway talking to me.
"Come in, sir, please come in! Oh I am SO sorry I completely spaced this morning! My husband told me last night that the cable was out and that they were sending out somebody to fix it."
She opened her door wide, smile very politely at me, and I stepped inside. She pointed me over to a small love seat and asked me to sit down. She asked me if I would like anything to drink, and I said a glass of water would be nice.
"What did you need to speak with me about this morning, hon?" she called out from the kitchen.
"Well, ma'am, I came to talk to you about your cable television service. I'm afraid that ..."
The lady walked in with my water just as I was saying this, and her jaw just dropped and she just stared in disbelief as I started to speak.
"OHNOOOO! No I just realized that we're behind on our cable bill!" she cried out. "And my husband just left this morning! I'll be he didn't remember to leave me either a check or the checkbook to pick it up!"
She ran off into another room, and I was speechless. "Well, ma'am, that's not .."
She cut me off again, saying, "No no no! I'll find your money around here somewhere, just tell me how much it is, baby, and I'll take care of you!"
"Ma'am," I tried to say again, "you don't have to --"
She came back into the living room, this time in a tizzy. "Oh, no, I just can't find the extra checkbook! What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?!"
She crashed down onto the love seat next to me, she was now starting to cry. "My husband is going to shit himself when he comes back tonight and the cable TV isn't back on. He's been waiting for that big boxing match and he'll just go crazy if it he can't watch it!"
She crashed her head into my lap and sobbed horribly. Instinctively I tried to comfort her, pulling the stray dark hairs from around her face and smoothing it back on her head. I wasn't going to try to say anything more at the moment, I figured it was just better for her to sob it out.
Maybe I should have, though. As she tried to choke back her tears and I kept stroking her hair, I felt the familiar stirrings of a hard-on forming right underneath this lady. 'Oh, no!' I thought to myself, 'Not now! Why now?!' I don't know what it is about the situation, but I was getting an erection, and any minute now it was going to be pressing against this woman's cheek.
Maybe it wasn't so surprising. After all, it had been well over a year since the last time I had sex with a woman, and now there was one all over my lap, soaking my pants with her warm tears, me trying to tenderly calm her down. Damn, this was just embarassing. And I knew there was no way I could hide it. I just closed my eyes and tried to pretend that this wasn't happening, hoping that it cleared up quickly. She sobbed for a minute more, and then just kinda stopped and paused. She slowly raised her head up and gave me this funny look. I wasn't sure what it was, but I got this pit forming in my stomach.
She swung herself over my lap, and wrapped her arms around me. I was pretty sure by then that I'd turned pale as a ghost, I wasn't sure I liked where this was going at all. I started to stammer out a response, but she placed her hand over my mouth.
"Mister," she said, "my husband will be home tonight, and he'll be expecting to watch that fight. My husband gives me just about everything I can ask for, and I will not deny him this pleasure."
