In that chapter, Nathan and Marissa, in their mid 40's, rediscover each other after 25 years.
****************
In Kingston, Ontario, we did a reading at the university library. Afterwards, the four authors decided to eat out at Chez Piggy - a famous local restaurant near the water. It was mid-May,and warm. Marissa, Mary, Steve and I were all dressed nicely following our reading. Like me, Steve, our 29 year old travel-adventure writer, was dressed in slacks and a dress shirt. Where I was also wearing a tie and a tweed jacket, Steve had left several of his shirt buttons undone, his cuffs rolled up to his forearms. Mary, who I'd now learned was 59, and was having a bit of a hit with her first book, a vampire romance novel, was in a black evening dress, cut low at her chest, showing some of the swell of her ample breasts. She had a pearl necklace which matched the pearls dangling from her ears, her short blond hair hanging down just to her neck, her bangs cut in a straight line above her eyebrows, a happy smile radiating from her face as it always did.
Marissa, my old flame from university who, after 20+ years I'd been reunited with on this book tour across Canada, was dressed in a long, slim, hip and body hugging red dress. The hem at the bottom went to her knees, and, looking from bottom to top, it clung tight to her hips and ass, narrowed at her waist, hugged her breasts tightly within its solid one piece top, and then the narrow straps slid about her neck, leaving her arms and shoulders bare.
In the restaurant, we were seated somewhat in a corner. Marissa and I sat together, our backs to the stone walls. Mary and Steve were across from us, the open expanse of the busy restaurant behind them. I'd been to Chez Piggy before, and had always enjoyed it. The thick stone walls gave a hint of a medieval castle, but the restaurant was brightened up by modern dΓ©cor and soft, pleasant lighting.
Seemingly unable to stop touching each other since we'd been reunited a week earlier, when the tour had started in Vancouver, it wasn't long before Marissa's ankle and foot were lying across mine, and my body was aching for more of her, more of this sensuous woman with her lithe swimmer's body. I moved my leg close against hers, and we remained that way, legs pressed together, gentle movements against the other hinting at something more to come later.
We chatted happily, and enjoyed our meals. At one point Steve casually asked Mary how she kept healthy, probably appreciating, as I had, that despite being nearly 60, and at 5'5 and around 165 pounds had some flesh on her bones, Mary glowed with energy and had a warm sexual aura about her. She said something about long walks, which I'd heard her mention before, and then she added "And sex," lifting a forkful of steak to her lips, "preferably anal."
Steve coughed some beer down onto the table. I froze, my knife and fork in the air, staring at Mary, who chewed her steak contentedly. "Holy shit," Steve gasped, wiping beer from his chin. "Mary! Seriously?"
"Of course," she said, matter of factly. "Have any of you used the back door?" We shook our heads, and Mary turned to Marissa. "You haven't tried it at all, Ms Sexy Bottom? As you and Nathan have been hammering 20 years of lost time into each other, you haven't waved your ass up at him?"
Marissa flushed, surprising the hell out of me. I had never seen this elegant and sexual woman embarrassed, and now it was happening before my eyes. "Nooo...," Marissa said slowly, looking across the table at Mary. "And I'm not sure that Nathan and I are hammering 20 years of lost time into each other either."
"You had better be," Mary said. "Look at that handsome bastard. I'd be climbing him like a tree if I were in your shoes. And Steve, you and young Ms. Eileen might as well get something going as well. The two of you are too young and hot to be wasting time just being pleasant."
"How do you know I'm not in a relationship?" Steve said. "Or Eileen for that matter? Maybe we have commitments to someone."
Mary shrugged, sitting back, looking, if I'm to be honest, radiantly gorgeous in her black evening dress, pearl necklace about her neck. "Well, what is your story Mr. Travel-Writer? Who are you living with wherever it is that you call home?"
Now it was Steve's turn to be embarrassed. I think even his ears turned red as he squirmed in his chair. "Well, I live with someone. She's a bit older."
"Oooo.... Intriguing," Mary purred saucily. "Is she my age? Or older? Who is she?"
Steve glanced uncomfortably at me, and at Marissa, wine glasses and half finished plates of food on the table between us. "She's a bit older than you, Mary. Couple of years older, I don't know. I guess you could call her my patron."
"Holy jesus!" Mary exclaimed, her face bright with interest. "You're living with an older woman as your patron? You're studding it up for a free place to live? Is that what you mean?"
Steve's ears went even redder. "Well....," he muttered. "You know..., I mean Jesus... I don't know about you guys, but I'm not exactly making a fortune in this business. Plus I'm travelling enough that renting a place long term doesn't make much sense."
