Chapter 62
Samantha's Tales -- Part 1
Samantha Kidd never expected to enjoy life in Regal Bay as much as she did. Since arriving in Regal Bay on the arm of her 2nd husband and their children in tow some eight years earlier, Samantha had slowly come to realize that there was nothing but sexual delights to be found in her new home town. And as her eyes opened wider and she took more in, she developed a taste for fit, younger men, most often men half her own age, and she was just 41.
Samantha had come from a family with money. She had been born and raised in Dublin, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. Her father was a lawyer, a junior partner now, and her mother a certified public accountant. Samantha had gone to school at Ohio University and earned her degree in the liberal arts. She never had any intention of making a living for herself, and just as soon as she could, she hooked up and married the first "man with a plan" that came along. His name was Craig Seeger.
Craig had come from a family similar to her own, in that they were well off. However, even though he had money in the bank, Craig had ambition. Soon after they married, Craig and Samantha had settled down in Jacksonville. As an intern at one of the city's major law firms, Craig brought in a healthy paycheck, plenty to allow Samantha time to enjoy the sun and surf much of the year.
Getting pregnant at such an early stage in her life hadn't been in Samantha's plans at all. Their daughter, Kelly, was born during the chilly late-winter months, and Samantha soon discovered that being a stay-at-home mother had its perks, as well as keeping her from having to work. Strangely, after she'd had their daughter at the age of 23, the wonderful sex she and her husband had shared all but vanished. Samantha found that she was lucky to get laid once a month. By the time she was 25, she had decided to divorce Craig. The divorce proceedings were lengthy, given the demands she was making, and even before the ink had dried, she had taken to sleeping with a neighbor on a regular basis; Matthew Kidd.
When Samantha and Matthew Kidd began their affair, he was newly divorced and the father of a son. His ex-wife was serving time for larceny, after walking out of a Kay Jewelers with more than sixteen thousand dollars worth of necklaces in her panties. It wasn't the first time Felicity had been caught shop-lifting, so she went down for a maximum sentence. Matthew filed for divorce the day she went away.
At the time, Matthew was 30-years-old, and had a good-paying, steady job working at the naval shipyards as a civilian security contractor. The conviction of his ex-wife cast something of a shadow over him as well, and shortly after Samantha and he married they moved to Regal Bay. Matthew had been offered and taken a position in the casino as a Gaming Compliance Officer, and life on the west coast would make Samantha happy as well.
Working in the casino, Matthew's hours varied from week to week, as he would pull either ten-hour or twelve-hour shifts a couple of times each month. This enabled him to work four days on, and then have three off, though on occasion he would do several fours with only two off, as the job required. He was also on-call, since he was a senior officer, and would have to go in to cover for call-offs from time to time. With Samantha not working, it wasn't all that bad. But as the years began to draw out, and their children growing up, Samantha took a job in town working at the Royal Treatment Spa and Gym, one of her usual hang-outs during the afternoons.
Samantha wasn't a health junky, but she enjoyed working out to kill time, and the work-out room had several televisions to distract from the pain. As the hours apart began to put a strain on their marriage, Samantha began to take notice of the young men working out around her, and the looks they gave her. She was much older than most of them, and yet felt just as sexual at 38 as she did at 18. When the opportunity first presented itself to her, she didn't hesitate to take it. The first time she cheated on Matthew was with a 22 year-old stud named Jim in the backseat of his SUV in the gym's parking lot. Since then, she had rarely said no to a casual encounter, or a serious fuck-session, with any of the young men who worked out with her. Samantha applied for and took an opening at the gym, and in the three years since, she's enjoyed several affairs.
Samantha's daughter, Kelly, was 21, had graduated high school with honors and was now enrolled at Regal Bay University in the liberal arts school. She had a room on campus in the dorms which she shared with another girl, though tended to still sleep at home most nights. Her room-mate was a nymphomaniac, Kelly had explained, and had different men in for sex three or four times a week. It wasn't Kelly's scene, as she had explained to her mother, and as such she maintained her bedroom at home.
Martin, Matthew's son, was also still living at home even though he too was taking classes at Regal Bay U. Martin was in the journalism program and worked part-time in town at the local paper. Like his step-sister, Martin tended to spend much of his time at home, playing video games on-line or surfing the internet doing research. The four people living in the Kidd house-hold were living very different lives by that point in Samantha's.
One of the young men of Regal Bay that Samantha had developed a relationship with behind her husband's back was a young Golf Club grounds man named Rick Malone. She had met Rick in the gym, of course, and had taken notice of him due to the fact he only ever worked out on the stationary bikes. She once asked him about this, and his reply was that he enjoyed biking since he was a kid and couldn't always get out and ride anymore.
"I was dreamed of racing in the Tour du-France," he told her with a wide grin one afternoon when she joined him. Side-by-side they had biked a simulated ten miles as they talked, and got to know each other. She discovered that Rick's mother and father lived a few houses down from where she lived. Rick was part Inuit Indian, on his mother's side, and his family had relocated to Regal Bay from Spokane, Washington, while he was in high school. After graduating, Rick took a job as a grounds keeper for the Parks and Beach Department, he had told her over recovery drinks in the gym's break area.
