"You sure you want to do this?"
Marsha stared out through the windshield of the car for a moment before she nodded once and then glanced over at her friend, Holly. She forced a smile and then nodded again.
"If you've got any doubts......"
"None," Marsha said softly, looking now towards a nearby house. "I want this. I need this."
"Nobody's forcing you," Holly whispered as she chewed on her lip. "I mean, what's OK for me....."
"Will be fine for me," Marsha smiled, trying to force a laugh as she looked at Holly again. "I need this more than you know."
"Want me to wait?"
Marsha shook her head as she took her purse and opened the passenger's door. She forced another smile as she got out of the car and watched Holly drive away. No need to wait, she'd figure it out what came next. If anything came at all. She turned away from the street and began slowly walking towards the front door of the house. God, she needed this more than anyone would ever know.
In three weeks she would be fifty. Fifty, the happily married housewife who had the picture perfect life. OK, an almost perfect life. Hell, it was no life at all, at least as a woman. Marsha shuddered once and then again. He hadn't touched her in eight years. Eight long years. Sometimes a woman needs a lot more than a house. More than a partner. Sometimes a woman needed a man. Even a pudgy butt like her.
Twenty pounds less would have been nice. Then she could be a skinny-Minnie like that bitch, Holly. Marsha shuddered at what she'd just thought. That was her best friend. You don't go calling your best friend a bitch. You don't lay down with another man either. Somewhere it had all gone so crazy and the front door was opening. God, was he one good looking man.
Marsha stopped and felt a grin forming on her face as she appreciated the view. John, the little charmer. The tour guide she and Holly had met a few months ago, the silver tongued rascal of a shameless flirt. The stallion that went down on Holly. The man who would have her. Her, the bitch in need. For eight years she'd been without, even with a man sleeping right beside her every night. She was twenty pounds too heavy. He is just so beautiful. Marsha let her grin widen and walked up the steps.
It wasn't like this was something casual, after all. She'd been on that one day tour with John, twelve hours enthralled with this free spirit. It hadn't taken a genius to figure out Holly had laid him shortly after. That bitch wasn't inhibited, not letting a little thing like a husband of thirty years stop her from a fling. They'd all three had lunch a week ago. She'd come to him two days later.
Not that anything had happened, damn cycle of the moon. Well, not much at least. She'd had to know, know if what Holly had said was true, that they were just screwing, nothing serious. That he could take care of her and not tell everything he knew. That he was the greatest kisser on earth. She had to know all that before anything went any further. She'd had to know that and what it felt like to let a man mouth her breasts again.
