Chapter 1: The Setup
Sometimes it's difficult to describe where the story began when you can't get off your mind how incredible it finished. This is certainly one of those stories. I won't get too far into the details as to how I began seeing a married woman, though she was not the first older woman I wooed, and my youthful age provides such odds that she will not be the last.
I confess I have a type, and its women four to twelve years my elder. Perhaps that fascinating, and I am sure in parts alarming, timeline is for another sit down. Man wants what he most certainly should not have.
I will share that this evening occurred within the first couple months we began truly learning about one another. To this day, I can count on my hand the amount of times our secret was almost exposed, though she has been many more times, exponentially. For the past couple years we have been discreet and disciplined through our erotic adventures. This, however, was the only occasion that our secret had been threatened to be exposed.
I first met Juliette at a coffee shop several years prior to this story, and many more years since the date I write this. I still remember how she looked in black, legs crossed as she concentrated on her laptop screen. Her dark chocolate brown hair was woven into the perfect French braid that rested on her tight muscles showing through the open back of her dress.
The sunlight through the front window reflected off her blue eyes, demonstrating the angelic characteristics I would learn so much more about.
Yes, her ice-blue eyes had me a frozen fool, playing the role of creep that I did not go into said coffee shop to perform.
Despite her determined focus, she had caught my brown eyes on a few occasions studying her. I could see her focus had diminished. I had broken through her professional shield. She had caught me enough times that I could tell she was spending less time thinking about the content on her screen and more about the next time she would look up to see if I was still undressing her with my eyes.
I was.
She began biting her nails, I imagined out of anxiety of being the prey left all alone, waiting for me to make my move. Then I noticed a third sparkle from the sunlight, and I eyed the engagement ring on her left ring finger.
Shortly after this discovery she closed her laptop and her crystal blue eyes stared into my soul. She was tired of being the prey, though it would not be the last time she enjoyed this role. I took this as an invitation and introduced myself. Her eyes sparkled even more, her smile beamed brighter, and I loved the sound of her laugh. Truth be told I love many sounds she makes.
We remained close and I stayed her confidant through her first two years of marriage, and her first year as a mother. Then, through a much more complex series of events, the learning began. I had moved out of state and would call her when I was in town, and this evening began the same way, albeit very early in our intimate phase. We had only had a night or two alone prior to this fateful evening.
...
It was a few ticks before eight on a Friday night in February. It was freezing as sleet is slippery.
The forecast predicted a whopping high of eight degrees that night. I waited patiently in the parking lot of her local grocery store as I had done the last time I met up with her for a rendezvous. It was only a few miles from her home and we agreed it would be a convenient location for her to leave her car for our date nights.
