I'd been married to John for almost 30 years. Our children grew up and moved out. We were supposed to be relaxing and enjoying our empty nest. We were supposed to be travelling. We were supposed to be making love on a beach in Kokomo. But none of that happened.
Instead, my husband who had worked so hard all of his life took early retirement and a young lover. He thought I didn't know but I did. He said he took up fishing but I knew better. I could have gotten a divorce and taken him for all of his money. But I had no desire to be starting over at my age.
What I wanted was intimacy. I wanted to be touched and I wanted to have good sex again. It wasn't like I didn't still have a great body. I had worked hard all of my life to stay in shape and the majority of people never had any clue what my real age was. But John wanted young flesh.
For a while I was pissed at him. And my self-esteem took a nosedive. We moved to Willow Drive just before his retirement and I thought everything would be wonderful again. But nothing changed.
So I decided that I was just going to do whatever I wanted to do and I was going to enjoy the rest of my life on his dime. As long as he didn't get any stupid ideas about leaving me and marrying her, everything would be fine. And if he did get that idea - well, I had something in my back pocket to make sure he would realize that was not going to happen. Call it blackmail if you will. But he wasn't getting a divorce.
What I did do was make new friends. Willow Drive was a younger demographic. Most of the women that were living there with their doctor husbands were in their 30s or early 40s. I was a bit older than them at 47 But they accepted me. Christina especially.
We talked a lot in those first few months after we moved there. And then I started going to her special ladies only parties. That's where I met Angel.
He was my angel. He told me I was beautiful and he made love to me in a way that my husband never had.
Yes, he was younger, but I didn't have to tell him my real age. Most of the women in our group didn't ask and he didn't either. So I didn't say.
We started out our relationship at Christina's parties but it wasn't long before he was coming to my house when my husband was away for a weekend fishing with the guys - i.e. with his little whore.
He had one - why shouldn't I?
Angle was more than just a play thing though. We got along well. We talked. After having sex of course. And we knew that this was as far as it would go. We have always been clear about that.
