The rain shower had stopped and the weather was brightening. I was sat outside the pub waiting for a ploughman's and a pint.
"Here's your lunch Bob." Big buxom Tracy the barmaid shouted out the door, "I'll bring it out to you." She handed me the plate and stood beside me. "Have you seen Lynn Blackstone? She asked about you this morning."
"Thanks, Tracy. Not seen Lynn. What's she want, any idea?" I was intrigued. Lynn, I called her sexy Lynn for obvious reasons, had been a girlfriend years ago. The thought of her gave me a good feeling. That lovely warm body held in my arms all that time ago. Yes I remembered that with pleasure.
"She didn't say what she wanted but she'll back from the school soon. She does dinners for the kids now."
The sun came out fully and all signs of the rain disappeared. I looked up the road and saw Lynn bouncing towards me. The day was definitely brightening up. She made me smile; she really ought to do something about that bra.
"Hi, Bob." Lynn dropped down on the seat opposite me. "How're you doing?"
"Improving, thanks Lynn," I answered. I had been off work for a week or so after falling off step ladder. I had been a bit silly one day on a building site. We looked into each others' eyes and an unspoken exchange passed between us. 'No, we're not going to do that,' was her message back to me. "How's Andy. Still an arse?"
"Bob, that's not fair, but yes. That's not what I want to talk about though. It's my Mum."
Andy was still her husband and still an arse.
"Yes Lynn. Sorry about your Dad, I heard he'd died. How can I help?"
"Well it's like this," she gave me her sexy look and paused, "Since Dad died Mum has been a bit lost in herself. She needs some help with the house and garden. She needs to be busy and won't do anything on her own."
"That's OK. I can understand that." I replied, "What does she need doing."
"Bob," Lynn moved closer and looked around. She spoke in a subdued voice. "Bob, well, it's not just the house and garden that needs attention." Another pause. "It's her as well. Do you think you can help her out?"
Lynn's mother needs attention. She needs helping out. What did Lynn mean? I knew her Mum was nearly 20 years older than me. She must be in her mid 50's. How am I expected to help her out?
"Just how does she need helping out, Lynn?" I asked.
"Show her some attention. Be a friend. You know Bob. A good friend, a close friend. You get my meaning." This was a plea from Lynn.
Of course, I had met her Mum lots of times. Her name was Alexandra. Lexi to her friends. As I remembered she was similar to Lynn when she was younger. That's sexy Lynn Blackstone of course. Mum used to be sexy Lexi Loxley. Was she still?
"What needs doing in the house and garden, Lynn?" I was considering the job.
"Oh thanks Bob. I just knew you'd help. The trees need trimming. The lawn needs regular mowing. The woodwork on the house needs a coat of paint. You know the usual things." Lynn assumed I had already agreed to the project. "And she needs a bit of male comfort."
Lynn gave me a sideways glance. 'Male comfort', I thought, that could mean anything.
"Right, Lynn. My job has been finished on the site I was working on and I've not got another start yet. I'll do it for a few weeks and see how I get on. You'd better take me round to Mum and tell her what we've agreed."
"I guessed you'd go with it, Bob. She'll be expecting you. Ring her and say what time you'll turn up. You'll have to take any gear you think you'll need and any protective stuff, of course."
Lynn got her mobile out. "Hello Mum, it's me. Bob Miller will be round as soon as he can. He's off work and a bit stiff." She listened to her mother talking. "No mother, behave. It's his shoulder that's stiff," Lynn laughed and looked at me. "Yes I suppose you can give him a massage as payment. He'll like that."
She faced me again. "That's it settled. Go round when you can. Mum's got something in mind for you. You won't be worked too hard at first." She finished with that sexy laugh again.
Next morning I rose early and phoned Lexi to confirm I'd be calling. "Have all your equipment ready. You'll be working hard," She said, "and I'll give you something for lunch. No need to eat elsewhere."
Lexi was a pretty woman in her mid 50's. Time had been kind to her. She had had Lynn at 20 and had looked after herself well in the intervening years. Her body was still trim, well certainly not overweight, and she had nicely rounded breasts that complemented a neat pear shaped bum. She had those characterising lines around her eyes and lips that curved into a contour that just begged to be kissed. Wearing shorts, I could see her legs were similar to those of a younger woman. In brief she was a jewel. However there was also a hint of sadness in her eyes and the quiet voice that betrayed her recent tragedy. When she saw me she brightened up like a morning flower opening to the first rays of the sun. She must have smiled for the first time in days at that moment.
As Lynn had said there was work to be done in the garden. The sun was bright, the damp grass was drying and it promised to be a warm day. I set to work cutting the branches back on the shrubs and got the mower out for the lawns. Lexi wore a sleeveless shirt and short shorts and very nice she looked too. She smiled happily as she worked beside me picking up the offcuts and raking the mowings together. By midday we were both tiring and ready for a break. I threw off my helmet and goggles and loosened my work boots, which she pulled off for me. Lexi brought out a tray of sandwiches and a pot of tea and we sat together on the bench at the garden table to eat. She slid close to me so that she could reach the food and occasionally our bodies bumped together as we stretch for food and cups.
Her boobs rubbed across my arm. "Oh, sorry, did I knock your hand." She apologised, and then did it again.
"That's OK," I answered and caught a glimpse of her to the side of me. She was looking at my face.
"I remember from years ago when you used to take Lynn out. You should have married her you know. You'd have been good for her." Lexi made a statement.
"Yes, well, I had other stuff to do. I wouldn't have been around much. Anyway she's got Andy and the children and she happy with them isn't she?"
"Happy-ish, I suppose. She could have done better though." This remark was clearly directed at me.
"Come on," I broke in, "We'll be finished in the garden in an hour." We worked silently until we had got the back garden tidy.
"God, it's hot out here," Lexi said as I got the tools together. "Come inside to cool down." She looked happier herself now.
Once in the house she seemed at a loss at what to do. "Would you like a shower? There's one in the laundry room." She pointed. "I'm getting one upstairs." Lexi disappeared and I went to the shower downstairs. Minutes later I dried myself and pulled on only my shorts and tee shirt again. "Bob, Bob come through here." Lexi called from the conservatory. She was sitting on the sofa wearing a wrap around robe. There was a bottle of gin and some tonics on the table in front of her. "Grab a drink," she waved her hand. I did and sat beside her.
"Bob, I need you to help me get it all together again, living I mean. Tell me what I should do. I know you can, Lynn told me. She wants you to help me. Tell me the things Toby used to tell me before he, well, before he left me." There was a tear in her eye when she said that. She emptied her glass and reached for a refill. Her robe fell open and I saw she had nothing on underneath it. "Tell me everything that I should do, Bob."
"Alexandra", I spoke her full name to get her full attention. She looked at me in expectation. "If you give yourself over to me I want you completely. Will you give yourself completely?"
Lexi bit her lip and stayed quiet. I could see why I thought of her as sexy Lexi. She was quite a few years older than me but she still had what it takes to raise passion in a man. Her eyes told me what I wanted to know before she spoke. "Yes." That was all she said, just "yes".
"Right-oh, we'll start now. Open your robe."
"You're not just leching at me are you?" She kept her robe closed.
"No, I want to see what you've done to yourself."
She dropped the robe with no further hesitation. I breathed in deeply at the gorgeous sight before me. All right, her boobs had sagged from their original pertness and her waist was now a bit flabby. However having seen what she had on offer, she was in very good shape. Certainly her naturally shaded pudendum was a delight. She shuffled her feet and parted her legs slightly drawing my attention to the swell of her pussy.
