The summer after high school graduation, before the Army came and got me, I decided to hitchhike across the country. It was 1969, the tail end of the "hippie movement," so hitchhiking was still acceptable and somewhat safe.
I thumbed my way to the East Coast and was starting my return. My last ride had let me off in a little farm town, Mifflinville in Pennsylvania right off I-90. It was late August, hotter than hell and I hadn't been able to get a ride for two days. I was sitting on a corner near a truck stop, trying to thumb a ride, when this Chevrolet Suburban with a large Air Stream trailer attached pulled up and stopped at the curb.
A very pretty, 20-something dark-haired woman rolled down the passenger window and said, "Where are you going?" Her question was said with a moderately heavy French accent, something I had only heard on TV, but with which I was immediately taken.
"Any place as long as it's West and away from here," I replied.
She smiled a dazzling smile and said, "We are going to the California coast. If you would like a ride, please to come in."
I was happy to get a ride. I tossed my packsack into the back seat and jumped in after it.
"My name is Yvette," she said, then pointed at the driver. "This is my husband, Carl."
I shook Carl's hand. He appeared to be in his late 50's. As we rode, Yvette chattered on and on but Carl said very little. From her I learned she was French and he was retired military and they had married while he was stationed in Germany. We stopped several times for fuel and food. Then about 7:00 PM, Carl pulled off the road into a campground just outside Granger, Indiana.
As we stopped I said, "Thanks for the ride. I guess I'll go find a place to crash for the night."
Yvette turned to Carl and said in her sweet French-accented voice, "Carl, perhaps he can sleep on our extra bed? We have the room, no?"
Carl nodded and in his usual stoic manner said, "Yeah, sure, why not?" as he climbed out and began to set up the trailer.
After it was setup we all three climbed into the trailer and Yvette began to make dinner. As she did I noticed she poured Carl a large glass of whiskey. Through the evening she poured him at least 2 more large glasses. Carl drank them all, but they didn't appear to affect him. Around 10:00 PM, without a word Carl walked to the rear bedroom, entered, and closed the door.
Yvette smiled and said, "He does this every night. He drinks then goes to bed. I will finish up the dishes and then make a bed for you."
She talked as she worked, much like she had all day. Most of the time, it didn't call for an answer from me so I sat and covertly admired her body. I was sitting behind her so I could watch her without her knowing. She had on a tight pair of shorts which showed off her round ass. And her legs were perfect: long, smooth, and tan. Like all young men, I was perpetually horny, so I wondered what her soft skin would feel like under my hands?
She finished the dishes then began to make my bed. It was the dining area at the front of the trailer. Yvette laid the table down, then pulled the cushions out to make a 3/4 sized bed. She finished then smiled and bid me good night as she went into the bedroom in the rear and closed the door.
I pulled a book from my pack and settled down to read. Several minutes later I heard the bedroom door open and looked up to see Yvette coming out dressed in a white, mid-thigh length terry cloth robe, a bag in one hand and a towel in the other. She smiled and stepped into the tiny bathroom. I went back to my reading but I could hear the shower running and my mind wandered.
I began to fantasize about what she would look like naked in the shower with water cascading over her body. My cock grew rigid and I knew I was going to have to jack off as soon as she was back in the bedroom. I heard the shower stop. Five minutes later Yvette stepped out in her robe. She smiled at me once more then turned to go to the bedroom.
Just as she reached for the doorknob she dropped the towel. She bent over to pick it up and I got a quick glimpse of her ass. It was bare and perfect! I couldn't wait until she was back in bed so I could close my eyes, stroke my cock and fantasize about what I had seen!
As she went into the bedroom, I was stroking my cock even before the door closed. A few minutes later I was getting close to cumming when I heard the
bedroom door open again. I instantly stopped stroking and glanced down the short hallway.
Yvette was just closing the door. She was now dressed in a mid-thigh length silky looking nighty that flowed around her when she moved. She turned and walked toward me, then stopped at the sink and filled a glass with water and took a long drink from it.
She sat the glass in the sink, then looked in my direction and said, "I thought you would be asleep."
I replied, "I'm not sleepy yet. I was reading."
She responded, "I'm not sleepy either. May I join you?"
"Ah, sure," I replied.
She came over and sat down on the edge of the bed and without preamble, again began to talk about how she and Carl had met and married.
After she told me about the marriage, she surprised me by saying, "You are wondering why a young woman like me would marry such an older man, yes?
I will be honest, I married him so I could come to this country. It is a marriage of convenience. Carl is a good man, but he knows I do not love him. He knows why I married him and he, how you say, accepts this. I enjoy our life traveling but I miss other things."
"What things are those?" I asked trying to keep my eyes focused on her face and not allow my gaze to slide down to the wonderful vision of the cleavage she was showing.
She smiled, and said, "There are many things. Children for one. Carl and I have been married for 5 years and have no children. We do not sex much anymore.
