Here is the final installment of New Older Man. Thank you everyone for your comments and emails. Please feel free to post your comments or email me. I love to hear all your points of view.
Many of you have requested I write Beth's story. I really like Beth's character and have several ideas floating around my head about Beth. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the first part of Beth's story up in a couple of months. In the mean time, enjoy Jan and John's story.

SPENDING THE WEEKEND WITH JOHN HAD BEEN WONDERFUL. On Saturday we did some gardening around John's house, and then we went out to eat. Later we had fantastic sex, which I had encouraged at dinner by letting my hand wander all over the lower region of his body. Sunday was equally fun. We began the day with oral sex in the shower. John's shower head was detachable and on a certain setting it caused me all sorts of pleasure. We took care of the last of the gardening and then decided to go on an afternoon hike. I loved every minute I spent with John. He was so sweet to me the whole time. He held my hand, kissed me on the cheek or lips every so often and generally kept up a very pleasant conversation. Sunday night our legs were tender from the hike so we enjoyed a nice slow sex and then drifted off in each others arms.
By Monday morning I felt very satiated and maybe just a bit sore. John went for his usual run, and I got up early to shower before he returned home. As John entered his house, I had breakfast started. I liked how we had routines forming. I showered and made breakfast, while he jogged, showered, and then we ate breakfast. The only part of our routine I didn't like was not leaving for work together. I really didn't want to be the center of gossip at the school, but I also didn't like hiding our relationship like there was something wrong about it. I resolved to talk to John, and probably Beth about my concerns.
When I arrived to my classroom, Beth was sitting in my chair.
"Did we switch classrooms over the weekend?" I quipped.
Ignoring my question, Beth said, "So...c'mon tell me all about it before I burst!"
"Beth I am beginning to think you are a serious pervert."
"Well duh! So start talking already."
"He told me he loved me."
"Omigosh! That is so romantic. What did you say?"
"I told him I loved him too."
"Holy crap! You're relationship is really in the fast lane."
"No kidding, but it's true, I do love him."
"I'm not doubting you."
As usual students interrupted our conversation. A loud group of girls walked in talking about the upcoming prom.
"I'll catch ya later Jan, at lunch," Beth said as she vacated my seat. As Beth walked by, she whispered into my ear, "And I want all the juicy details."
I knew Beth wanted to talk to me at lunch, but I wanted to see John for a minute. I made as elegant as possible dash out of the room to the teachers' lounge. John was sitting in his usual chair with a book in hand.
He looked up as I came in and said "Hiya sexy!"
"Hello John," I said, trying to be annoyed with his greeting, but failing miserably.
"Are you coming over tonight? We can cook a nice dinner and correct papers. It'll be lots of fun," John promised.
"Yeah, I'll be there."
"There you are!" came Beth's overly loud voice. She flashed a smile at John and said, "Don't mind us hot stuff, but I need to take Jan away for some serious girl talk."
"Beth!"
"What? I'm not allowed to flirt with your guy?"
"I swear Beth, if you keep it up, the whole school is going to know about us by the end of the day."
John chuckled and stood up. "Good afternoon ladies. I'll see you later tonight Jan."
"Omigosh, you two are worse than some of the students in this building! You can hardly keep your hands off each other. C'mon, let's go back to your classroom so I can hear all the details!"
I readily went with Beth if only to keep her quiet. She was like a little kid. If she didn't get what she wanted right away, then she whined until she did. Once in my classroom I told Beth every last detail in hushed tones.
"You did it on the deck and the neighbor heard?"
"Well, we didn't actually get to do it. We just got to the oral part and then we had to head in before the neighbor came to see what was going on. John said the neighbor's a bit of a busybody."
"First the movie theater and now the deck. You two have a serious exhibition streak! You won't have to worry about me letting the cat out of the bag because you two are going to be caught somewhere doing the vertical tango in public."
"I hadn't thought about," I said, now feeling somewhat worried.
"Will you stop looking so worried? Honestly, you are having the time of your life. You two should have sex whenever the mood suits you, even if you are in a semi-public location. I'd be totally bummed if I didn't get to hear about flings in the movie theater and on John's deck. Heck, if I ever get a guy, I fully intend to emulate you and John."
"Yeah, emulate everything except for keeping it secret," I said in a bitter tone.
"But you wanted to keep it a secret. You keep yelling at me for having a big mouth."
"I know I have to keep John and my relationship a secret, but I don't like it. I feel like were covering up something bad. There's nothing bad about this relationship. It's the best thing to happen to me in three years."
"Jan, don't worry about it. The relationship is very new and on the fast track. It's also very close to summer break. Just keep it quiet until then, and then you two will have the whole summer to figure out where your relationship is going. If there's a wedding, I demand to be your maid of honor."
"A wedding?"
"Well at the rate you two are going, I think marriage by the end of the summer is a very distinct possibility."
"I'm not jumping to any conclusions, but the idea of getting married to John is somehow not that scary."
"Woohoo, I'm helping John pick out a wedding ring."
"Beth don't you dare say anything to John! We've only been together three weeks. It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to consider a possible marriage a little too quick in coming."
