A single drop of sweat trickled slowly down my chest, between my breasts. It tickled almost painfully. I held my breath and closed my eyes. It was excruciating but I let the little guy find his path over my skin allowing the sensation to persist. Finally, it reached my belly and was absorbed by the fabric of my dress and only my skin's memory of it remained, then faded.
I opened my eyes, smiled to myself and continued scratching a claw-shaped tool at the tiny, determined weeds in my garden.
It was early June and the sun was a radiant hole in a hot blue sky. It was a perfect summer Saturday. The heat was pulling tiny beads of perspiration from everywhere on my body. My skin glistened. I wouldn't be able to stay in the sun much longer.
I'm tall and fair and slender with long reddish blonde hair and a light spray of freckles anywhere sun can reach my skin, so I was wearing a broad, floppy straw hat to keep the sun from burning me.
A light breeze ruffled the brim of my hat and the hem of my dress, cooling my skin.
My husband, Chris, and I lived in an old two-story farmhouse on a couple of acres in a suburb of Chicago. We'd remodeled extensively when we moved in ten years ago so it wasn't exactly a farmhouse anymore but older than many of the houses in the area. The neighborhood was, once upon a time, a proper town unto itself, that was now slowly being reshaped by new development. Bigger houses, small lots, little kids and minivans.
I heard the misplaced rumble of a large truck coming down the road and stood to look. A lineman's truck pulled up in front of our house and stopped. The electric company had come to fix a problem we were having - "irregular voltage" is what I heard Chris telling them on the phone. Flickering lights and a clothes dryer that didn't dry clothes would have been my description.
I began walking toward Chris, waving my weed weapon like a flag to get his attention as he drove in nice tight windrows back and forth across the lawn with the lawnmower. He drove to me and turned off the machine.
"I think the electric guy is here." I said and motioned toward the truck in the street.
"Oh, good." He said, dismounted and strode toward the truck.
I watched him walk away, his thick, hairy legs protruding from dad shorts, his feet shod with flip-flops that audibly smacked his hobbity feet as he walked. His thick arms swung from his stocky barrel-shaped body in the way men do when they're on a hair-trigger to shake hands with another man. The corner of my mouth curled into a smirk. Men, I love 'em. I walked back to my garden.
The breeze felt good against my moistening skin. I was wearing a little floral print sun dress and brought my hands to the hem and fluffed it for some circulation then pulled at the neckline a couple of times to give my little boobs a breath of air.
I had been waiting months for a day like this. Warm and sunny, minimal clothing required. I sat down on my short garden stool to resume. It was the awkward position that all gardeners assume. Bare feet and knees wide apart leaning over to their task.
Within a few minutes Chris and lineman came around the side of the house. Chris was talking and laughing in manly tones. He guided a tall, good-looking guy past me to the little grey box on house that was mounted on the wall between a couple of hydrangea bushes. He looked over and nodded, holding the gaze just a second too long. I smiled from under my hat and he smiled back before Chris gathered him to the subject of the electrical box.
I realized suddenly why his gaze had lingered. I had pulled the hem of my dress to my waist to sit on my stool. The lineman hand undoubtedly, and unexpectedly, been treated to a view of my little pink panties framed by my long bare thighs. He probably had a good look down the front of my dress too. My nipples hardened instantly. Another bead of sweat began its journey from my neck to my belly.
The lineman was a young guy, not even thirty. He stood long and rangy next to Chris, sandy brown hair under his hard hat and a nice ass filling out his work pants. His arms were long and lean and tan, sculpted with work muscle and terminating at enormous, knuckled hands.
They finished their conversation and Chris walked toward me. The lineman turned to walk back to his truck. Chris started explaining the situation as he approached me and the young man looked back to me, undoubtedly, for another taste of the visual snack I was serving up. I sat up, arching my back, my hard nipples tenting the light fabric of my dress, my legs still spread wide. Our eyes met, he grinned and walked on. A thrill of adrenaline ricocheted through me.
Chris stopped in front of me and looked at my chest. He chuckled. "Cold?" He said.
I stood and straightened my dress. I stepped toward him and took off my hat shaking out my hair. "Not exactly." I said. I pressed my mouth against his and opened it, inviting his tongue. His mouth opened automatically and our tongues touched.
"He's cute." I said. My hand cupped his groin and squeezed. He groaned and began to grow. A tingling sensation swirled at the base of my spine. I was getting wet.

Six months ago I had gone to Las Vegas for a week for the Consumer Electronics Show. Part of my job. What I discovered while I was there had changed my life. Our lives.
For the twenty years we'd been married Chris had wanted desperately for me to become a hot wife, he wanted to watch me with other men. I had resisted at every turn. He persisted. I refused. Over time we bruised and tattered each other as we fought about it and found each other disappointing. We drifted apart, still in love but unable to find our way back to each other. The conflict had nearly ended our marriage, or at least, ended the parts that made being married worthwhile.
And then, the day I turned forty-five, I met Marcus. My attraction to him was so swift, so overwhelming that suddenly I was forced to answer questions about myself I never expected. The feelings I had for him terrified me. I tried to push them away but something had changed in me and I couldn't stop thinking about him. I had to find out what had changed. I wasn't sure how Chris would feel about it but, I felt like I was in a marriage I wasn't living up to, that was coming to an end I didn't want so I went to Marcus. I explored where lust and desire could take me. I found how to live again.
After that, everything had changed. Chris and I touched each other almost constantly. In the weeks after Marcus we'd had more sex than in the last five years combined - three or four times a week, sometimes twice in a night.
One afternoon he came up behind me as I stood at the kitchen sink, slid his hands under my arms and cupped my breasts - a move he'd made a hundred times over the years. This time I arched my back, pushed my ass against his crotch and closed my eyes, my dish-washing-wet hands covered his, encouraging him to explore me. Within moments we on our bed pulling at each other's clothes as our mouths sucked and bit and kissed each other.
