"Honey, I'm home," I heard coming from the front of the house as the clock struck seven.
I'm Jace and as an aspiring writer, not making much headway at the time, I was fortunate enough to have found someone that didn't mind giving me the opportunity to try my hand at my chosen craft. Sure, she was older and a bit more demanding than women my own age but she was a very attractive woman for a fifty year old. Her name was Sue, or Suzi as most people called her and she was all of five feet two with a hundred and ten or so pound frame. She kept herself in exceptional shape by working out in the mornings before work and honestly didn't look a day over thirty-five. This of course was what I thought she was when I met her, much to my surprise. I suppose it's the California blonde lifestyle but I was pretty much in love with her from day one.
"Hey baby," I told her, rushing out to greet her. This was the routine most days of the week, unless she got home later than normal which for her was not unusual.
"How's the book coming?" she asked.
"I'm almost ready for you to give it a read," I lied. I'd been stuck on chapter fifteen for two weeks. They call it writers block but I called it being too distracted to work as well as I thought I could. It's amazing how supportive she still was though, as many times as I'd put off letting her read it.
"Did you get to the gym today," she asked rhetorically feeling up the definition in my arms. It was the one thing that she insisted on. She had a need to have the perpetual eye candy around on a regular basis. Anyone that came by the house unannounced would understand what I mean by her need for eye candy.
To keep her happy and enjoy the opportunity to truly try writing as a job or career choice Suzi had asked for certain concessions that admittedly at 25 I really had never thought much about until she asked. One of those was that her quirks or fetishes were things I had to play along with. The first one was how I dressed. She chose my clothes for me. She always chose clothes that were attractive and as she put it, showed off the goods. At home though, that was a different story. From day to day, depending on the mood she was in, she would pick what I could wear around the house. Today, it had been a pair of boxers. Today was one of those days she was feeling rather magnanimous to be honest about it.
"Of course I did," I told her, giving her a little pose down.
"Is dinner ready?" she asked.
