As those of you who have read Part 1 will know this is not a wham bang thank you ma'am sort of story. It's a slow burner, with regard to describing physical sex between Jayne, a 23-year-old 'adchick' and James a 55-year-old retired banker.
For some, age is a barrier, a huge one, a non-starter. Many cannot handle age differences and won't even try. James and Jayne wondered whether they could? This series of impressions and observations examines what happened when they tried.
Reading Part 1 might add to your appreciation of the couple's situation, but it's not essential as I hope this stands alone as an erotic story.

"Oh yes James, I was going to ask whether you were married, but I don't think I will," I replied, rather mysteriously, I thought.
"Why not?" You asked.
"Because I don't really need or want to know, do I? I mean we're only having a drink, aren't we?"
"Yes, I suppose we are," you said looking slightly crestfallen.
I'd felt a big buzz walking through the pub to the loo and back. I loved the sense of incongruity, if that's the correct expression, I felt from all the young bucks showing out to me, as I then walked towards you, a man old enough to be most of their fathers. 'What the fuck is she with him for, must be out with her dad?' they were probably thinking as they watched me sit down across from you.
"Hi, I'm back," I said perching myself on the edge of the chair, letting my skirt ride up almost to panty level and leaning forward, straining the thin cotton of my blouse, suggesting strongly to the assembled young bucks that you were far from being a relative! "See I did come back didn't I?" I said sitting down and looking you right in the eye. "Pleased?"
"Yes of course I am, thanks."
Under the table I felt your leg touch mine. My first reaction was to move, but my second one was to leave it where it was. I went with the second.
"Not at all, thanks to you for the drinks."
"I wondered if you thought I was trying to get you drunk," you said, flashing that nice smile that I found quite appealing.
"Now why on earth would I think that, and why would you want to get me drunk?" I smiled, actually enjoying the slight pressure of your leg on mine. 'Accidental' I wondered?
"Well, you know," you replied, maybe regretting saying it.
"Do I?" I smiled looking over your shoulder and nodding.
You saw that and turned your head just in time so see one of the bar staff arriving at our table with a second bottle of wine.
I leaned forward, quite forgetting the cut of the blouse and my lack of a bra, and placed my fingertips on the back of your hand, my white painted, almost square cut nails contrasting with your tanned skin.
"I hope you don't think I'm trying to get you drunk," I smiled as the barman filled our glasses. I looked up at him smiling. "Thanks."
Smiling even broader than me, his eyes reluctantly it seemed moving up to meet mine, the young Aussie said. "Thanks ma'am."
"And to think I only bought a bottle of wine."
"Yes, but he thanked you for letting him pour it," you smiled.
"Oh shit," I said sincerely, worried that my top was gaping so much. "I shouldn't have worn this blouse like this."
"Not at all, I think it looks lovely as it is."
"Men," I snorted, jokingly feigning disgust and mild annoyance.
"We just can't help it can we, it's in our DNA?"
"So, it seems," I replied reaching out and clicking my glass on yours "Bless 'em, we often hate them, but couldn't do without them."
Smiling, you replied. "Thank God for that."
We both laughed.
"Tell me more about your job Jayne?" You asked quite out of the blue as you leaned forward resting your chin on your hands.
I rabbited on for ten minutes or so about writing copy for ads, posters, brochures and websites mainly for small companies on a freelance basis.
"It's bloody hard at the moment getting work."
"I bet it is, I used to be in marketing and we used freelance staff like you. Well, not exactly like you Jayne, I mean writers."
"What you mean not young birds like me."
"Where are they mainly published?" You went on slightly changing the subject.
"Oh, the press, radio, billboards, some on TV, local and regional papers and trade magazines."
You asked a few more sensible questions and then said. "How do you get the business?"
"That's the awkward bit."
"How do you mean?"
Well, I have a few contacts and some regular clients, mainly ad agencies, but when they change or new agencies ask to see me it's difficult."
"How?"
"Well supply exceeds demand with copywriters."
"You mean there's more of you than there is copy to write?"
"Yes James, that is what supply exceeding demand means," I said rather unnecessarily cuttingly.
"So that pushes the price down, does it?"
"Yes, and makes persuading copy chiefs to appoint you rather traumatic?"
"How?"
"Some expect more than just a low fee, get me?" I said wondering why the bloody hell I was going down this road.
"Oh, I see," you said tentatively, your leg again touching mine under the table.
"And especially when the copywriter is a young bird like me," I replied, not moving my knee away.
"What's that got to do with it?" You asked, increasing the pressure on my leg adding. "And what age is that Jayne, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Twenty-three."
There was silence. I broke it.
"Working out the age difference are you grandad?"
"No, no of course not. Actually, yes I was Jayne."
"And what is it?"
"Not telling," you said smiling.
"Come on don't be daft," I smiled back.
Putting you hand across your mouth you mumbled something incomprehensible.
"Pardon and take your hand away."
"Ok you've put the noose round my neck, now kick the stool away. "Thirty-two years," you said quietly.
I was a little surprised at first but as I thought about it, it rang true.
I took a slightly too large swig of my wine. "Men tend to think women like that, like me, are simply gagging for it," I smiled, looking into your eyes and thinking, 'I'm being pulled' as we both left our legs pressed together.
Beaming a big smile, you said. "And aren't you? Oh bugger, sorry."
I laughed. "You know what I mean. In fact, in a couple of agencies they call me the ice maiden, and think I'm lesbian, because I don't put out for them."
