Michelle fumbled with her keys. Her hands filled with heavy grocery bags, she cursed under her breath before dropping her keys to the floor beside her foot.
"Just great. Exactly what I need," she muttered, as she put down the bags and stooped to grab the keys.
"Did you need a hand?" said a strange voice. It was deep and husky but wasn't one that Michelle recognized as one of her neighbours. She looked up and made eye contact with a pair of the most beautiful blue eyes she'd ever seen. She couldn't speak as her heart skipped a beat.
"Are . . . are you okay?" the voice asked.
Finally, she snapped out of her trance and pieced together a couple of words that indicated that she didn't need help, and yes, she was doing just fine. To be honest, she didn't really remember exactly what she said. She was in awe. Slowly, the key found the lock and she pushed the door open, but not before turning to see her 'white knight' open the door next to hers.
"Of course!" she thought. "That must be the new neighbour!"
Michelle knew that the young couple had moved out a couple of weeks ago, but she hadn't had the chance to meet the new neighbour until now. Putting away the groceries, she couldn't get him out of her mind. She kept picturing him in her head. His tight white t-shirt that strained to hold together over what looked to be fairly fit frame. And those jeans . . . "Mmm," she thought.
Suddenly, she shook her head and her face turned a bright red. What was she doing? She was happy in her relationship with Steve; he was a nice guy. Very considerate, gentle, and calm. He was good husband material, she thought.
But she couldn't help wondering what 'what's his name' would look like without a t-shirt on -- or even better, without pants.
Her face turned red again.
Michelle was snapped out of her daydream when the door to the apartment opened. Steve was home. She met him with a hug and they talked about their day, with Michelle opting to leave out her encounter with the new neighbour. The two soon found a familiar routine: finishing up dinner and sitting on the couch; Michelle with her book, and Steve with the remote control for the TV. As usual, Steve was the first to suggest it was time to turn in and headed for bed. Michelle soon followed.
While laying there drifting off to sleep, the two looked over at each other. They could hear something coming from the other side of the wall. It started as a subtle repetitive thumping, but was then joined with moans, and quickly they both knew what was happening. The new neighbour had some company over for the evening, it would seem. Steve rolled his eyes and sighed loudly.
"I guess our new neighbour is a party animal. Just what we needed! Now I'm never going to get to sleep."
Steve never really considered himself a 'sexual being'. Sure, he liked the company of a woman and he loved Michelle, but if it were up to him, sex would be a biweekly affair rather than a nightly one. He always chalked up his lack of interest in sex to his appearance; he wasn't really that fit. Soft around the edges, and not blessed with endowment. Michelle would always tell him size didn't matter, but he never believed her.
On the other hand, Michelle wasn't worried about sleep on this night. She rolled over to Steve and started running her hands over his chest and down his stomach. Gently kissing and nuzzling his neck, earlobe, and cheek. Her hands slid down Steve's belly and down to the waistband of his boxers. Her fingertips slid inside as Steve started to stir.
While Steve wasn't generally interested in initiating sex, he wasn't an idiot. When Michelle wanted it, she generally was satisfied.
He turned his face towards hers, his mouth finding Michelle's soft, full lips. She moaned as his hands wandered over her pyjama covered body. His fingers quickly made their way between her legs and found her wetness. Gently, he tickled her with his fingertips as his mouth moved from Michelle's lips down to her round, full breasts. He kissed their softness before taking a hardening nipple between his lips.
Michelle responded with moans, wiggling her hips as the feeling of Steve's fingers explored her. He slid one finger inside, and then two, working them back and forth while he gently rubbed her swelling clit with his thumb. Michelle liked it like that and he knew it. It was a quick and easy way to get her to orgasm.
Right on cue, Michelle's moans turned into groans and her body began to shudder. Steve waited for her to gain her composure before sliding down his boxers and laying on top of his wife, mounting her missionary style. Michelle was so wet she could barely feel it when Steve slipped his hardness inside of her. Within five pumps, he was groaning and soon overcome by his own orgasm.
With both of them catching their breath, they lay there in the darkness. The pounding and moaning coming from the other side of the wall still going strong. "Wow," Steve thought to himself. "That guy must be a machine." Both of them feel asleep to the sound of sex next door.
It was only a few days later when Michelle ran into the neighbour. She met him in the hall once again, this time as both were leaving to run some errands. This time she was in a better mood and keen to get to know his story. She asked him about his situation: what he did for a living, married or not, and where he moved from.
His name was Paul and he was a personal trainer who just started at a gym down the street. He'd moved to the city from another state and admitted it was because he was just out of a relationship and needed a fresh start. He said he had 'too much of a history' where he lived last and wanted to make new history. He claimed he was pretty lonely because aside from a few people he'd met at work, he didn't really have many friends. Being the friendly person she is, Michelle didn't hesitate to invite him over for dinner the following night. She thought it would be nice for Steve to get to know the neighbour too. He agreed before they parted ways.
Dinner was nice. Steve was his regular polite self, and Paul changed a little after a couple of drinks. He became cockier, his voice a little louder. He started to poke fun at Steve. Just little innocent jokes about how he's a little soft, his arms little and what else on his body that could be little. Steve's face went red but he didn't try to defend himself. He just took it.
Michelle felt bad for Steve at first, but the more alcohol she drank, the more she admired the strength and confidence of Paul, who was sitting in a chair across their small living room. She looked at him, exploring his body with her eyes: his plaid button-down shirt with the top two buttons opened and his worn blue jeans tightly hugging his thighs.
Then she looked over to Steve and compared; there was none. Paul must have known what was happening because his blue eyes met her gaze and he winked. Followed by a confident smile, Michelle quickly looked away.
Soon after Paul got up to leave with Michelle and Steve, and being the gracious hosts, they got up to show him to the door. Paul shook Steve's hand first and then Michelle leaned in to give him a hug. He towered over her but shrunk down to her level and wrapped his muscular arms around her. To her shock, he kissed her.
Not just a peck on the lips, but a deep, intoxicating kiss. As his tongue gently touched Michelle's lips, she nearly melted.
Steve cleared his throat, obviously shocked and annoyed. Paul didn't care. He broke off his kiss and looked over to Steve with a huge grin on his face.
"Oh!" said Paul. "Why don't you just pop over and pick up that recipe I was telling you about. It'll put some good meat on his bones!" he joked while motioning over to Steve.
"Sure. I'll just be a quick minute," Michelle said to Steve before following Paul next door.
Steve was left standing slack-jawed as the door closed in front of him. "Did that just happen?" he muttered to himself. He could hear the neighbour's door open and then slam shut. The noise echoed in the hallway.
As soon as the door closed behind Michelle, Paul once again wrapped his arms around her, lifting her off her feet. He resumed kissing her deeply, his tongue pushing between her lips. She was instantly overcome with passion. She returned his kiss, her hands running up and down his muscular back.
He set her down and broke off the kiss. "I saw you looking at me. I bet you were wondering what was under my shirt, weren't you? Wondering how big I was. What about my cock, were you wondering about that too? Why don't you find out?" he said while taking her hands and sliding them down his body.
