A Young Widow Sheds Her Sexual Repression
Alex dreaded the red eye flight back to LAX. The short but emotionally draining stay with her in laws was trying, leaving her more depressed than when she arrived. After ten years of marital bliss, Tom had passed away, snatched from her by an unforgiving bout with cancer. A dark cloud hung over the three-day reunion with his family, interrupted occasionally with cathartic laughter about better times. Tom's family adored Alex, begging her to return to Boston so she could be closer to the family. She appreciated their emotional support, but had established herself as a successful real estate agent in Southern California. Her work, friends, and life style were West Coast. She cherished her memories with Tom, weekend excursions to wine country north of Santa Barbara, surfing Malibu, skiing Mammoth, and strolling the Venice boardwalk. Those warm and fuzzy memories had been replaced with ten-hour days working the hot LA real estate market. She had neither the inclination nor the time for fun. Alex was stressed.
Alex splurged, booked a first class seat for her long flight home, hoping the added comfort would ease the dread of returning home to an empty house. Blocking her way to her window seat was a dark haired man, bent forward, adjusting his laptop. She cleared her voice, smiled, and motioned toward the window seat.
"Sorry," said the man. "I was checking my e-mails."
The man stood, smiling down at Alex from his six-foot-three height, letting his eyes slowly travel over her. His gaze said it all; he liked what he saw. Before she took her window seat, she took off her blue blazer, folded it, and placed it with her luggage. As she stretched to secure her belongings in the overhead bin, the dark hair stranger drank in her alluring curves. The jeans were form fitting, revealing trim legs and hips, while her high-heeled sandals accentuated her pouting ass.
"Do you need some help?" the dark haired stranger asked, smiling as he assessed her physical assets.
"Thanks, but I've got it." Alex stepped further back into the aisle, brushed off her hands, and said, "I needed the stretch. It's been a trying three days."
The tall stranger pointed to the window seat and said, "You tell me your tale of woe, and I'll tell you mine."
"It's a deal." As she scooted into her seat, Alex could sense the eyes of the well-built stranger devouring every inch of her taut body. She initially caught him staring at her ass as she put away her carry on, then gazing at her white blouse as she removed her blazer. She was used to it. If her legs and ass didn't get a man's attention, her bust line never failed to impress the opposite sex. Her cardio workouts at the gym kept her fit, creating flat abs, toned legs, and a full, but firm ass. Her narrow waist accentuated the fullness of her breasts. Her physical beauty was not lost on the tall stranger who savored her graceful moves as she took her seat beside him. Her full breasts swayed ever so slightly as she moved about. For a thirty-five year old professional woman, she was a ten on anybodies sexual scale.
Alex, short for Alexandria, was hot. Unfortunately, no one had savored her sexual gifts for more than a year. In fact, she hadn't been laid for a year and a half. During the final months, before her husband's death, she had merely held him, massaging his shoulders, and only twice had she stroked his manhood to a happy ending.
"My name's Vincent. Friends call me Vinny."
"Alexandria. My friends call me Alex."
"Well, since we are on a first name basis, let's hear your tale of woe."
"Perhaps, but I'd rather get acquainted first."
Alex smiled, and shook Vinny's hand. Her delicate hand disappeared into his firm handshake. His hands were enormous. For a brief moment, she flashed on her best friend's comment, heard first as a college freshman. The size of a man's hands, her girlfriend had confided, is a reliable guide to the size of his manhood. She blushed at the long forgotten memory, surprised by the sexual recollection. She immediately suppressed the thought, and studied Vinny's face. He wore a trimmed beard that covered his upper lip and chin; a scar ran down the right side of his face, starting just below his right ear, eventually disappearing into dark facial hair. His brown eyes were so dark that the irises were only a shade lighter than his pupils. When he smiled, his eyes seemed to lighten a shade of brown, followed by a brilliant white smile that quickly turned devilish. The lines on his face said he was about forty-five; his athletic body and strong barring were of a much younger man. His close physical presence stirred dormant sexual feelings within the young widow. Her late husband was a kind and loving man, slight of build, delicate hands, and a tender touch. Vinny, however, exuded an animalistic quality, giving Alex the impression that he took whatever he wanted. His demeanor was calm, but strong. He was definitely self-assured.
"Well, Alex, what brought you to Boston?"
"Visiting my in laws."
"Without your husband?"
Alex hesitated, cleared her throat, and quietly said, "My husband passed last year. In fact, today marks the first anniversary of his death."
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Vinny took her hand and said, "It is so difficult losing a love one. I know the feeling."
