Tammy’s head was still reeling. She had just come from the boy’s locker room at the school that she worked at. She had just had some of the best sex that she had ever had with an electrician that was working on a construction project at the school where she worked. She felt bad about what had happened, because she was after all a married woman and just because her husband was out of town on a construction job and it had been a long time since she had been with a man, she knew she shouldn’t have done it. Oh well, it was a done deal and she would just have to put it out of her mind if she could. She pulled her Mustang into the driveway of her house. She turned the key off and the engine stopped.
She walked up to the front door of her home and took the key from her purse and moved it toward the door. She stood there for a minute, looking at the key she was about insert into the door and suddenly she thought about the man who had inserted himself in her a few hours ago. She inserted the key and unlocked the door, entered the house and then went into the living room. She walked into the kitchen and looked around for her daughter because this was usually where the kids were when they got home from school. As she passed the door of the refrigerator she saw a note.
“Dear Mom, I am going to spend the night with Marci tonight. We are going to the mall and a movie. I won’t be home till tomorrow afternoon. Love you.” Tammy took her coat off and thought about how nice it would be to be young and not have the responsibilities that came with age. She still felt like a teenager inside and sometimes it made her angry that she was tied down to all the responsibilities that she had. She took off her coat and threw it on the back of the chair. Well, at least she would get a chance to rest this evening. It had been a long time since she had a chance to take a nice long bath and totally relax.
She went into the bathroom and turned on the faucet to the tub and when she got the water adjusted right she walked over and lit the scented candle she kept there. She left while the water was running and went to her computer and clicked on her internet icon and soon she was online. She went to her email program and looked to see if her husband had sent her anything. Nothing. She saw a few things from one of her friends that she had confided in so many times. She sent him a message, letting him know that she wanted to get a chance to talk to him about something that had happened today. She let him know that she had made love to a man today and a complete stranger at that. She told him how much she had enjoyed it and how she would love to meet the man again but just didn’t think it was a good idea.
Tammy finished her email and walked back in the bathroom and started to get undressed, first her blouse and then her skirt. She stood there for a minute as the smell of the candle mixed with the heavy air of the steam from the warm water penetrated her nose. She though of how different this smell was from the smell of the locker room that she had just gotten out of, that smell of sweat, of young men’s bodies hanging in the air. As she watched the steam rolling off of the water it reminded her of how wet and hot she had been a few hours ago.
She thought about the man who had just made love to her and she started to get that tingly teenage girl feeling again. Damn it was so hot and wild. She finished undressing and then got a towel and wash cloth and laid it on the side of the tub. Tammy walked over the whirlpool and stuck her foot in first. Aaah. Just right. She slowly stepped into the tub and slowly sank into the warm water. As she got used to the temperature she sat back and relaxed and turned the jets on low and then she laid back and let the bubbles do their job. She could feel the gentle waves of water hit her back, her sides and her feet.
Tammy heard the door open. Her daughter must be back she thought. “I’m in here honey” she called out. She heard footsteps moving through the kitchen and relaxed back, closing her and putting the warm cloth on her face, letting all her tensions ease from her body. She heard the door open but didn’t remove the wash cloth because her family had never been uptight about nudity in the household. She could feel her muscles start to relax as the warm swirling water did it’s job.
She thought maybe her daughter hadn’t heard her, but it didn’t really matter because she was good at blocking out the world when she was in her tub. Tammy heard a sound in the hall and pulled the wash cloth from her face and looked but couldn’t see anyone. She shrugged it off and dipped the cloth back in the warm water and pressed it to her tired eyes again.
She felt around with her feet for the faucet and turned it off and after a few minutes of laying back in the warm water, she could feel herself drift off to sleep. She was almost out when she felt a presence in the room, a presence that didn’t feel completely right. She started to move and then she felt a foot enter the tub. She jumped and pulled the cloth off of her face. In front of her stood the man that she had made love to in the locker room. She screamed and tried to cover herself with the cloth. She looked up and not only was he there, he was standing there with no clothes on whatsoever.
