Potato Chip
Into the Lair of the Silver Fox
This is my entry in the
Literotica April Fools Story Contest 2025
. Submissions must have an April Fool's Day theme of surprise meetings, humor, tricks, trick endings, and other themes of deception, chance, and/or misunderstandings. In my story, a logger from Idaho meets a sophisticated older woman on a plane trip to Orlando, but their chance encounter quickly turns into a tale of mutual seduction, where the only thing they hide from each other is the truth!

Chapter One
**********
After two connections, I was eager to board the final flight of my all-day journey. Lingering near the desk at the gate, I handed over my phone for scanning before the other attendant finished inviting the first-class passengers to board. I was traveling by myself from Idaho down to Orlando to watch my newly graduated daughter play volleyball with her club team. Boarding the plane, I nodded to a rather pleasant but somewhat older stewardess. My carry-on found its way into the overhead bin, and my butt found its way into the window seat.
Looking out, I watched the ground crews scurrying about. My attention snapped back when I heard rustling sounds next to me from the aisle seat. On the seat was a brown leather handbag, along with one of those ubiquitous cloth grocery totes containing what appeared to be two bags of potato chips. A tall slender woman had backed her way into my row and stood facing the aisle as other passengers boarded. Silver grey hair topped a nicely tailored blue dress, and below that were a pair of shapely tanned legs.
Taking advantage of a lull, she stepped into the aisle and bent over to retrieve the tote. A pair of large breasts fought gravity, straining to escape her low-cut dress. Not that I minded. Our eyes met, and she smiled. After placing her tote in the overhead compartment, she sat down.
"Hi, my name is Serena."
"Pleasure to meet you. I'm Chip."
"You probably saw my potato chips. They're Utz, my favorite, but I can't find them in Orlando. I always pick up two bags after visiting my other home near Washington, DC."
"I'm from Idaho. My daughter is playing in a volleyball tournament at the Disney Sports Complex."
"Idaho, huh? So, maybe I should call you Potato Chip?"
I laughed, "You wouldn't be the first."
My eyes focused on her luscious lips, full on the bottom, but thinner on top. A pleasant shade that matched her other features, more of a rose than red, and more flat than glossy. But what kept my attention on her mouth was her sweet Southern accent. Subtle and pleasant to the ear, her words dripped with honey as I watched her form each one using her mouth and tongue.
Serena said, "From your strong-looking hands and tanned face, I would call you ruggedly handsome. Maybe fifty years old?"
"Good guess. I own a logging company in McCall, Idaho, north of Boise. I'm fifty-one years old. Now, I get a turn. I'm going to call you the Silver Fox."
"Why is that?" she laughed.
"Because you're attractive, have lovely silver hair, and I enjoyed looking at your tail."
"You're not some kind of pervert, are you?"
"No. But I do appreciate a woman who dresses well and takes care of herself."
Smiling, she replied, "Most men are afraid to say such things to a woman today. Too afraid the woman might bite back."
I laughed, "You showed me your teeth when you smiled. Should I be afraid?"
Touching my forearm, I recognized the small flirtation. She replied, "Yes, you should be. Potato Chips are my favorite snack."
This was going to be an interesting flight.

Chapter Two

The stewardess came to take our drink order. With Serena distracted, I used the opportunity to look closer at my seatmate.
Serena's buckled seat belt drew her blue dress tight against her stomach, accenting her large and wonderful breasts. Her dress was rather low cut, and I raised my neck to get a better view of the smooth tops of her breasts, outlined by a thin strip of her lacy black bra. I tried to guess her age, but that has never been one of my strengths. Her slender body, glowing tanned skin, and shapely legs showed signs of an active outdoor lifestyle. Her silver-grey hair, cut in a layered bob style, had bangs that framed her face nicely. A beautiful mix of dark grey color mixed with lighter streaks of soft silver gave her a natural and alluring look.
Her makeup was perfect, perhaps too nicely done for a late afternoon plane trip, but then again, I'm not in Idaho anymore. I noticed faint wrinkles at the corner of her mouth, and her hands and neck betrayed an otherwise youthful appearance. I mentally applied a five-year margin of safety and readied my guess.
I looked over at her and said, "Ok, Silver Fox. You guessed my age rather well. Let me try guessing yours."
She replied, "You really aren't afraid of women, are you? You are venturing down a path few men dare travel."
"Sixty-One!" I announced proudly.
"Wrong by six years."
"Well, then, that makes you fifty-five."
"Seriously? I'm flattered, but I'm actually sixty-seven years old."
"Wow! You look amazing. Your husband is one lucky guy."
She paused momentarily, then replied, "I've been a widow these past three years."
"I'm so sorry to hear that." I thought about my answer and then said, "I'm alone as well. My wife and I divorced four years ago. She claimed I spent too much time in the woods and not enough time with her."
The stewardess brought us our drinks. I went with Gin and Tonic, figuring one can never be too careful about tropical mosquitos. The distraction gave me a chance to check out Serena's legs. Tanned and fit, she wasn't wearing pantyhose. I couldn't blame her when going into the dreaded summer heat and humidity of Florida. She wore stylish tan shoes, with modest three-inch heels. Being a logger, I know my leather. After eyeing the gentle creases of her flexing shoe, I recognized quality leather. Likewise, her small leather handbag beneath her seat also showed off classy roots.

Chapter Three
**********
After we were in the air, we chatted, but I soon learned how little we had in common. I was a logger from the mountains of rural Idaho. She was a big city girl, with a house in Orlando and another in DC. That meant she had something I didn't have, namely money. And tons of it. Other than a brief glimmer of interest when I mentioned I was in the Navy, my tales of rural life in Idaho did not resonate with her. She did say her husband had been an Admiral in the Navy, and after retiring, went to work for a defense contractor in the Virginia suburbs. He worked on missile defense systems aboard ships. Years ago he established two patents for drone defense, both of which had recently become quite valuable. My ears perked up, but other than that, I had little interest in her fast-paced life in DC.
With our conversation waning, Serena picked up the In-flight magazine and thumbed through it. Stopping at a page, she turned to me and asked, "Do you know anything about security cameras? My husband set a couple of them up years ago to cover the backyard and pool at our Orlando home. This article says night vision cameras have greatly improved in the last few years."
