#Authors notes
#1 I welcome all constructive criticism on this and all my stories. I thank those of you who have responded in the past and I have taken all constructive criticism seriously and it has helped my writing. Once again—a heartfelt THANKS!
#2 In a comment on someone's story, I agreed with an anonymous commenter, who mentioned I needed lessons myself, and invited him/her to point out some of my mistakes. Far from trying to be a wise-ass, I was serious. I've read many books on creative writing and am always trying to learn. I would be pleased to hear serious comments about where I can improve. For me, improvement in the only reason to post here for free. We don't get such feedback from the stories we sell. (The incident mentioned here took place over a month after I wrote note #1 and I decided to leave both notes.)
SECOND WARNING—RAAC STORY AHEAD—BTB FANS TURN BACK!
THE TWENTY YEAR ITCH
I had a decision to make; a decision I'd normally leave up to my oldest daughter, but this time I wasn't going to be able to pass the buck.
"Sorry, Dad," Tracy had said, when I called her last night. "Mom called a couple days ago and warned me not to help you with a twentieth anniversary gift. She said she wanted something you thought she'd like, not a gift I thought she wanted."
Oh shit! I thought. She has never liked a gift I'd bought on my own. Well, that's not exactly true—she always liked the jewelry I'd given her, but as far as something to wear—forget it. Therefore she had jewelry galore; that wasn't an option.
"Honey," she'd say, usually with a giggle, after trying on my latest gift. "You're paying me a great compliment, you really are, and I do appreciate it, but I wish I had the body you apparently see when you look at me. This would have looked great back when we were dating, but I'm not the trim young teenager I was back then."
Then she'd twist around in front of the three full length mirrors, arranged to give almost a three hundred sixty degree view, pointing out all the ways my selection just wasn't right for her. Finally, she'd slip out of the outfit de jour and carefully store it back in whatever it had been packed in.
Then when it was ready for return, she'd come to me; usually she'd be wearing nothing but a sexy pair of panties and a bra. She'd encircle my neck with both arms while lifting tip toeing to offer a kiss. In short order she'd have my cock standing at its normal six inches. When she remained on her toes, my erect cock probed her curly hair and labia.
When flat-footed she was just a little over five feet tall, compared to my six feet, so my cockhead would usually poke just above her hairy patch. I just loved a hairy snatch so she only kept it neatly trimmed, not clean shaven or even the landing strip style so common today. These episodes almost always ended with us completely sated, the bed sheets wet with cum and us naked and asleep, our arms and legs entwined, our bodies glistening with sweat and yes, there would be gobs of my sperm draining down her ass cheeks and onto the bed. I guess you could say that although I may have picked out a lousy gift, we wound up sharing the best gift of all—real love.
Now, as I rocked on my porch, considering just what the heck I was going to do about this year's gift, I realized she was right. Every time I gazed upon her, I saw the trim eighteen year old girl I'd married all those years ago. To me the twenty extra pounds didn't detract from her figure, they just put better curves in the right places. To me, she would still tip the scale at one eighteen, her brown hair still highlighted her always slightly tanned face with its high cheekbones, a gift from her Cherokee ancestors, and she still had that happy go lucky attitude her Irish forefathers had brought from the old country.
April turned men's heads when we went out. She carried that extra twenty pounds well, her body showed the firm results of constant workouts at our judo club and her breast—my god, her breast were a thing dreams were made of—they were still firm, the size of large grapefruits. When aroused or cold, her nipples stood out like grapes I loved to assure her they were a perfect fit for me. I'd tease her that since I have very large hands and a big mouth, she had a perfect mouthful and a handful. Even around our friends, I insisted God made her just for me, without revealing why.
Yes, we had the perfect marriage. I was the luckiest man on earth, without a cloud on the horizon. Well, that wasn't quite right. When I looked behind me about thirteen years ago, a very dark, ugly spot always loomed up; a spot resulting from my complete stupidly. It was a time when April suffered a lot of stress from her side of the family and sex between us dwindled to almost zero. That's when a bad old friend, one who claimed to have had a crush on me in high school, took advantage of the opportunity.
Believe me, being a still young man with a bigger than normal sexual appetite, it wasn't hard for her to tempt me. April had traveled to her childhood home to help care for an ailing father; my parents kept our children at their house, since it was more convenient to get them to and from school, and so when temptation came knocking, I was ready, our spare bedroom was ready, and since we lived very isolated from neighbors, there was no need to sneak around. For about six weeks back then, I had the time of my life, except of course when my conscience was kicking my ass.
The temptation was supplied by a woman who knew her way around a bedroom—I mean she really knew her way. Maybe she had a crush on me back in school, like she claimed. I can't think of another reason for her to take such a sexual dunce as myself under her wing to educate. Up until this time sex with me was mostly a matter of lots of foreplay, digital arousal, teasing the breast with my mouth and good ole bang-bang fucking. Knowing what I know now, after my six week crash course in pleasing woman, April must have thought I was pretty pathetic; but since I had proof I was her first, I guess she didn't know any better either. When it was all said and done, I thought we were really doing it up right back then.
Two weeks before April's dad recovered enough that she was no longer needed; my inflated ego clashed with my guilty conscience and great sex no longer satisfied. I knew I had to break it off with the angel who'd pitied a dumb ass country boy like me enough to show me where my education was lacking. Being a man, with the inflated ego that's so common to our kind, I decided to let her down gently. I needn't have worried.
One phone call later we were scheduled to meet at our favorite little eatery. I arrived well before the appointed time and sat at our favorite booth. Normally its location back in the far corner enabled me to sneak a feel without everybody seeing. Of course today my thoughts weren't on checking out real estate I was already familiar with. Instead I rehearsed the best way to tell her we had to stop seeing each other without breaking the poor girl's heart.
Intent on choosing the right words, I didn't notice I had company until she slid into the booth opposite me.
"Good, I see you're early," she greeted me, sliding almost two thirds of the way into the booth. I noticed she didn't give me my usual kiss on the lips. Before I could respond, she half stood, looked toward the counter and motioned for someone to come over. Since I'd have to turn completely around to see, I had no idea who she was signaling to.
