When Bob woke up from a deeper sleep than he had experienced in years Rose was not in bed. He could smell her on the pillow, the mixed musty smell of a woman who has had sex mixed with sweat and the faint leftover of her cigarettes.
Bob got up and as he started to dress he saw a note on the pillow.
Bob,
You have no idea how wonderful today has been. You made me feel attractive and loved. I have to go and you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to wake you. I hope you are as satisfied as I am.
Rose
Bob was disappointed but he understood. She had to rush back to the asshole she was married to. Bob lay back down and with his face turned to the pillow that smelled so much like her, fell asleep again.
The next morning Bob unloaded the trailer of rotting wood and went back to his job. He hoped that their time together had not caused Rose any problems with the jerk.
He heard activity in the house but no one came out and he began work, tearing down the last of the rotting dry wood. He spent a lot of time cleaning up the nails and hardware and when the trailer was loaded and he was about to leave, Rose's husband came out. He seemed pleased with the progress on the deck and was actually nice to Bob.
Bob told him he was going to dump the old wood and then should be back with the new materials early in the afternoon. The jerk told him that he would be gone again for the rest of the day. Bob left wondering how Rose was and was a bit worried because he had not seen her at all.
After dumping the old wood Bob went to the lumberyard where they already had his list of materials. He loaded wood and boxes of screws, lag bolts, joist hangers and carriage bolts and then started back. When he arrived it was quiet and he began unloading the wood.
This first load was treated lumber for the underpinning. Bob worked for nearly an hour when he looked up and Rose was standing in the basement door with a pitcher and two glasses. She was wearing a silky halter dress that showed off her lovely neck and shoulders and her knew at a glance there was nothing between the thin silk and her breasts.
She shyly said "Hello", and walked over to the picnic table in the shade. Bob followed, totally at a loss for words. Having not seen her all day, he had worried that she was upset and then having her appear like an angel in this dream of a dress rendered him speechless.
Bob sat down as Rose poured glasses of ice tea. Finally she looked up at him and smiled, "Don't you have anything to say today?"
"You are so lovely you take my breath away", Bob said, "I was worried when I didn't see you and I wondered if something was wrong."
Rose assured him that everything was fine, except that she had some unusual sore spots today. She said that with a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her lips. Bob told her that he was a little sore too, but that it had been well worth it. They sat smiling at each other, embarrassed until she reached over and took his hand. She asked him if he would like to come into the basement and "cool off". Bob gratefully followed her in out of the heat.
Inside, Rose turned to Bob and said, "Yesterday you did everything to me and for me that I have dreamed about for years. You were wonderful and if it never happens again I am grateful, but if you want to continue I am yours."
Bob had expected a "this can never happen again" speech. Looking down at the lovely lady he knew he wanted her badly. "Are we alone and safe right now?" he asked. When she smiled and nodded he reached behind her and untied the top of her halter dress. When he let go it simply fell until the top of the dress was held up only by the swell of her hips.
Rose reached up to her hair which was pinned up. As she did he again was mesmerized by her long dark underarm hair and how her beautiful breasts moved with her arms. As her hair tumbled down he felt his cock harden and form a tent in his pants.
"There is something I wanted to do yesterday but you left before I had a chance. May I do it now?" He smiled at her but did not explain further.
"You may do anything you want, sir, I trust you implicitly." Rose smiled back and stood there topless with her hands on her hips. Bob hesitated to touch her, he was so sweaty and she was clean and immaculate. Finally he reached out to put his hands on her shoulders and guided her to a large easy chair in the corner of the finished basement. She sank into the big chair and he knelt at her feet.
Rose leaned forward to meet him and their lips met in a soft long deep kiss. As their tongues made gentle love Bob could taste mint but only a faint trace of cigarette smoke. They continued kissing and his hands cupped her breasts and he gently rubbed her hard nipples with the palms of his hands. His fingers found her silky underarms and rubbed and twirled the long hair there.
