An NSFW story about two old married people.
He has always gotten up when he wakes in the morning because his back hurts after any more than about 4 or 5 hours. He goes to bed around one or two o'clock in the middle of the night. He is a successful potter, painter, gardener, and a writer-editor. He has been retired for 9 years, is 75 and has had a stent on his heart to hold off death by heart attack since 2013.
She at age 74 always sleeps until at least 10 am and frequently later than noon. She too heads to bed about one or two o'clock or so. She has no hobbies or outside activities and has also been retired for 9 years.
They were both salespeople when they had careers, and now they live on a fixed income that is close to being in the red every month.
When he gets up, he sets up the house and feeds the dog, starts the coffee, gets the paper which she reads every day and he may glance at a couple of times each week. He then tours the gardens and yards, and after all of that, he goes into the office takes all of his clothes off because when he first started writing, in the Navy, in the early 1960's he was in the tropics where naked was the coolest way to feel whatever breeze may have been blowing.
Now he writes that way out of habit, and it helps sort his head into the nastiness that he enjoys writing.
He opens whatever story he is writing, and reads it from the beginning and rewrites and refines his work. He will on a good day of 8 or 9 hours, get two to four thousand words written, and edited through once.
He attempts to get it principally put on paper all at once with very little writing/editing and changing of the alignment of the sentences. However, the next step, the next morning hopefully will cut and paste and move words around until he has reviewed and read all of the previous days' creation.
He likes to write stories of fiction surrounding sexual fantasies or role-playing between people who have a sexual relationship.
She was originally married within months of graduating from high school. When she got through having three kids, she had to divorce her husband since he was a liar, cheat, unfaithful (a term from the 1960's era), an alcoholic and a credit criminal, all according to the courts and her repeated tellings of woe.
She had no marketable skills to support three kids, so she scrambled and networked until she found employment in the financial world. She took the stock market brokerage tests after attending brokers classes and training in NYC. She became a broker in Minneapolis where she lived for long enough for her kids to be independently pursuing their lives. She then left Minnesota to go to Anchorage.
She had had enough of as she called it, "Gambling with other peoples money." She found a sales position selling cell phones after she first arrived in Anchorage. She was selling cell phones in the store where he bought his first cell phone from a different saleswoman. They did not know or meet each other, however, their paths crossed there for sure.
A year or so of being in Alaska had proven to her that even though she was a beautiful, cougar of a single woman in a man-rich target environment in Alaska, she discovered a saying on a postcard sold by Eskimo Joe Advertising Specialties was prophetic. The card showed a pencil drawing of a bunch of scruffy, unshaven, dirty, raggedly clothed men depicted to be a gathering of Alaskan men. The caption caught the truth in a humorous light. The caption read:
'Alaska where the odds are good, but the goods are odd.'
As soon as she tired of all of the superficial and shallow politicians that her sister introduced her to, she realized that she hadn't yet fulfilled her need to see more of the land called 'The Last Frontier'. She started looking for a sales position or some work that would be traveling inside Alaska. There were no highways to most places, and flying, of course, was expensive. one day she said to herself that she would get a job selling and visiting as much and as varied a sampling of Alaska as she could before she left for the final time.
She found a traveling yellow page sales job that required her to be on the road more than half of the year. She was chosen from more candidates than there were openings available. She was sent to Dallas for sales training.
He had moved to Alaska about 15 years before she did. He had gone up from Orange County, California with a contract with GM to live in Anchorage and work from an office in Anchorage for three years.
He had done his time with GM, started his own businesses in Anchorage, and then resigned from GM to stay in Anchorage. When he was getting the divorce from the drunk his wife had become, the court expected health insurance for their minor daughter, so he closed his business and went to work selling on the road for the same company that she had. His new boss sent him to Dallas just as hers was doing and while waiting for the flight in Anchorage, the two bosses introduced the two of them. They were getting ready to spend the next three weeks working side by side and eventually spending the rest of their lives together.
These two were socially unaware of each other for almost a year when she invited him to go to Hawaii for the Thanksgiving holiday, allegedly platonically. They wound up lovers through a few funny incidents. They have lived together since. Now married for over 22 years, after being together since 1988. She has always been an excellent self-confident saleswoman, able to separate the selling from herself personally.
She was an eager and horny lover when they first came together in Hawaii in 1989, and they were in heavy lust for the trip starting when one of them (her) took a shower and didn't close the door when they had first arrived at their hotel in Honolulu from Anchorage. When they reported back to their sales office after the Hawaii trip, everyone around them guessed they had become a couple and celebrated their happiness and joy.
His divorce finally came through, at which time they had been living together for quite a while. She wanted to get married or separate, and he wasn't able to make a decision, so they picked a date and got married. They have survived a lot of wars, and they always came together in the end. When one of them needed support, there had consistently always been the other one providing.
