Joe was thirty-eight and lonely. He was tall, average looking and successful. His problem was judgment. He had given up looking for someone to share with, someone to love and be loved by. How he wanted that. Yet, every relationship he ever had ended when his chosen woman cheated on him. That confused him because he was an attentive lover, a good provider, even-tempered and respectful. Wasn't that what the women wanted?
Corrine was afraid and horny all the time. She had little experience with sex, none of it satisfying. She was thin and far from ugly. She looked younger than her nineteen years but her body had that Jamie Lee Curtis sex appeal. Her father had been mostly absent in her youth. Even though he was an abusive drunk, every day during her early teens, she hoped he would notice her and say something nice to her. Instead, he called her names, said she wasn't smart and always sent her into rooms away from him. Her mind, soul and body yearned for something. She knew she did not want the yellow house in the suburbs with a picket fence, two and a half children, three televisions and coffee clutches with female neighbors who talk about how much they hate their overworked spouses. She could not answer what she wanted. For now, she had bigger, more pressing problems. She was sitting in her older Honda crying on the side of the lightly traveled rural road with a flat. Her boss at the restaurant where she was a waitress would be angry. He would yell at her. She hated that.
She jumped as a tall shadow darkened her window outside the locked door and said, "Can I help you? You seem to need your tire changed."
"Thank you but I had better wait for the police to come by."
"If you roll the window down just a little, you can use my cell phone to call them or you can just pop the trunk and I'll change the tire for you. You do not have to get out of the car."
His voice was gentle and assuring. She rolled down the window about an inch. Not enough to slip his older flip-phone through.
After the phone clanked against the window, there was a little impatience in his voice. "Maybe I should call the police for you. I can tell you are frightened and my presence is just making it worse."
Corrine opened the window a little more, "No, I really do appreciate the help, I'm just not familiar with this area. I was visiting my sister and am late for work."
"I understand. I'm Joe Sherman; I live in that house over there." He pointed to an older well kept, 1970's style California ranch style house in the front of acres of almond trees, as he slipped his phone through the slightly opened window. She took the phone and felt safer.
"I really would appreciate you changing my tire. I'll pop the trunk, if your offer is still open."
"Of course it is."
He had the tire changed quickly and returned to the driver's window wiping his hands on an oily rag that he had materialized from nowhere. He also had a dingy home printed card with his name, address and phone numbers.
"I'll trade you my card for my cell phone and you can be on your way."
Corinne had a rush of panic. Had he sabotaged her car? Would she break down before she got to town? Her hands were shaking when she took his card, just nodded and sped away, leaving Joe, the Good Samaritan, in a cloud of road dust.
There was no one to hear his words, "You are welcomed. I would not hurt you, but you don't know that. Go disappear into the big bustling city, relax and feel safe."
She was still trembling when she got to work. Her boss raised his voice but the scolding was quick; she was needed to help in the lunch hour rush.
Late that evening, Corinne was exhausted after her hot bath. The bad tire was in the shop. It was almost bald but still she was having it fixed. She would be asleep as soon as her mind slowed down. Her right index finger settled on her clit. Every night she would touch it just a little. Not for release. It helped her relax and clear her thoughts. Should she have paid the man something for changing her tire? She should have said "Thank You." What did his face look like? There wasn't a car in sight in either direction the entire time he changed her tire. He had told her how to get back to the main road.
Her finger sped up drawing circles over her moistening slit. Her mind raced, "I was helpless, lost and he knew it. He could have kidnapped me. Hid my car. No one would have known." She arched her body and slipped a finger into her pussy. "He was so big, so strong. He could have done anything he wanted to me. I would have had to submit, be his slave." A little moan escaped. She was getting closer and slipped a second finger in. "He could have tied me up, made me suck his cock, fucked me anytime he wanted, kept me nude in his house, spanked me and hurt me."
Corinne had been so tired, so worried, so broke for a couple of months. The local college would not even let her register again until she paid her delinquent bill. Her fingers tightened, painfully pulling her clit tight against the bone. She was taken by surprise when her first climax in a couple of months raced through her body. Her fingers lingered moving slowly; she imagined how his cock would throb inside her after he had cum in her belly.
Corinne awoke to the morning sunlight, started to stretch and realized that her fingers were still inside her pussy. She had slept so still and soundly that she had not moved her hand all night. Her fingers felt good. She thought of the tall farmer, being helpless and being captive. Again she came, enjoying the unfamiliar squishing sounds from her cunt.
Every day that week she thought about how big and strong he was and how helpless she had been. Every day she masturbated and came. This was not like her.
That weekend, she did not have to work until Sunday night and was visiting Alice, her sister, again. Sis was divorced and just about ready to give birth. She needed help cleaning, shopping and just getting out of chairs. She was going to have a big boy, her second. Over Sunday morning coffee, Corinne told her sister about the flat tire and the helpful farmer. Corinne could not explain where he lived.
"You still have his card! Why don't you call him and properly say, "Thank You." Not everyone would have stopped to help, you know. He was probably, hot, tired and hungry. He was probably on his way in for lunch. And still he took time to help."
About noon Corinne was ready to leave and decided to call the tall man. "I apologize. I was so harried; I forgot to say "Thank You." Can I send you some money for your trouble?"
"No, no money. But since you are close by again, you could stop by the McDonalds at the interchange and have coffee with me before you head back to the real world."
She started to say "No" but thought, "Maybe I should. Maybe if I meet him, see him; I will stop fantasizing about him and getting wet. Maybe life will get back to normal."
"Sure, I'll stop by and say "Thank You." I know you did not have to help."
He was thinner than she remembered -- taller, stronger and more wiry. But his voice was calm and deep. He was very self-confident and relaxed. He had already worked enough to count as a full day for most people. She caught his clean but sweaty scent when he was close, serving her coffee. For apparently no reason, her heart raced and her face flushed.
"No wonder you were so afraid of me. With you sitting in the car, I did not realize you are so tiny and so young." He paused, obviously looking at her body and added, "Pretty and sexy too. Thank you for having coffee with me. You have made my day and given me a wonderful break from work."
Again she felt his strength, a little fear and the draw of his masculine body. "It's Sunday; you are not having to work everyday are you?"
"I love to work, Pretty One. The almond trees don't care if it's the weekend or not. There is enough work to more than fill every day of the year."
"You don't talk like a farmer."
"After college, I was in business for a while, then taught some. But I wanted to work for myself. I bought some land and put in almonds. This is my fifth year. It will be my first full crop. It looks like it will be a good one and Blue Diamond has accepted me into the co-op. I don't know how long I'll do this but I love it right now."
"Oh, I have to run. I'm on the evening shift tonight. I'm a waitress."
