Gary had been effectively celibate for nearly a year, except for 'five finger Mary', who lived on the end of his arm. Although masturbation gave him some temporary relief, he longed for prolonged sessions of oral love, fucking and very some light S&M. He had attended some Seniors Centers and various senior social events, but found that most of the women he met there had marriage on their minds. Gary had a wonderful marriage with Lori that lasted forty-eight years until she died. They had raised their children to adulthood and he, at seventy years old, did not want to complicate his remaining years with a wife. Most of the women he met at these 'seniors' functions also had extended families, which did not appeal to him. What he wanted was a sexual relationship that would be satisfying to both he and his partner without involvement or commitments.
He had thought about Cherie and Tabbitha over the past year, but both of them had found men, their age, that loved them and their children. Further, these men were looking for long term relationships that involved marriage. Gary was happy for both of these marvelous women, but sad because he no longer would be making love to either of them. He also considered call girls and prostitutes, but knew that their only interests would be his money and he wasn't ready for that either. Further there was a health risk that he found unacceptable.
He read his morning paper and happened on the Dateline ads. He decided to look them over. As he read and rejected ads for single straight women, his eye caught an interesting ad. 'Single white woman, 55+ yo, slender body with special needs, seeks older man for fruitful relationship without commitments'. Gary circled the ad and continued reading his paper. Later he called the Dateline number and asked about the ad he had circled. He gave the receptionist his name, age and telephone number. Gary really didn't expect any response because of his age, but 'nothing ventured-nothing gained'.
Two weeks passed and he hadn't heard from the woman or the Dateline people. He assumed that his age had prompted the lady to decline calling him and he put the whole incident out of his mind. Gary decided to book a trip to Greece and a cruise of the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. Perhaps a cruise or a tour of the Greek islands might prove more fruitful. If nothing more it would be a welcomed change from his daily living. His booking was for the next week. The only first class stateroom available had two beds and a private balcony. It was more expensive, but money wasn't a problem so Gary reserved the booking via credit card.
Gary rummaged through his wardrobe seeking appropriate clothing for the trip and found that he was pretty well set. He might have to buy some new items, but he decided to buy them on the trip. Finishing his packing except for his toiletries, he sat down to read the morning paper as he watched TV. The phone rang and he answered. The voice on the other end pleasantly asked, "Is this Gary Harrison?" He answered affirmatively and the voice continued, "This is Monique Caldwell. Are you the Gary that answered my Dateline ad?" she asked.
"Yes, I am," he answered with some excitement in his voice.
"Well hello. I'm glad that you responded to my ad. Not too many men will respond to a fifty-eight year old woman's cry for help," she said teasingly.
"And I'm glad that you called, because I didn't expect any woman to respond to a seventy year old man seeking to satisfy 'special needs' as you put it in your ad, Monique," Gary said to her, "Incidentally, may I ask what those special needs are?"
"Yes, you may, but how about over lunch today, if you're free? And please call me Mona if you like," she said. Gary agreed to meet Mona for lunch and asked her to pick the time and place. Mona picked the Bramwell Country Club, which Gary recognized as a very expensive club to join and belong to. He had lunched there before with friends and told her he would be glad to meet her there. "Good." she said, "Just ask for Mrs. Caldwell's table if you get there before I do. See you at noon, Gary." They said goodbye and Gary hung up the phone. 'Well,' he thought, 'if she belongs to that club she's no ordinary lady and must have tons of money.'
