This is a love story -- not an out-and-out fuck-up!
So please don't expect screwing from the start -- it doesn't happen until a lot later.

For years I'd cursed my dad for giving me the gene that made my hair turn silver so early! It was totally unfair that my temples were silver, well grey really, even as soon I turned the big 4.0. So many of my friends still had heads of black, brown or even red hair -- even my mother had a good head of auburn hair and here was me at 42 with large swathes of silver. Oh well, at least I wasn't going bald -- at least that didn't run in the family!
And then, rather to my surprise, after a year or two of possessing silver locks, I noticed that I'd become a crumpet-magnet -- the girls were all flocking around me.
Mind you, I guess that as a very successful sales executive with only an amicably divorced ex-wife with no children in tow, I was a fair catch -- had I chosen to be caught again. I was a little over 6 feet tall, I weighed a steady 168 pounds and I was about as fit as I'd ever been -- those days I could afford to work out regularly....and it paid off. I even showed off a good tan -- a real one gained from tropical sun as the result of prize holidays that I'd won. With the proverbial "Good Sense of Humour" and 8 inch penis I was a shoe-in for a personal ad!
That's not to say that I hadn't had loads of girlfriends but they'd been just that -- friends to go out with and to fuck -- and then to get bored with. I'd had the one good relationship but once we'd married things went pear-shaped as our two careers separated and within eighteen months we'd just lost interest in each other, I think.
But there was no way that I needed to advertise, now that I possessed my greying hair.
My Mum summed it up one day.
"You come over as a sugar daddy!" she said, somewhat to my amazement, as I didn't really think that she even knew the phrase, "You're good husband material."
'Oh no -- I'm not, am I?' I thought, 'Last thing I want to do is to get married again!'
"You think so?" I asked, somewhat incredulously, "Is that what they think?"
"Course it is," she said, "You're old enough; you're financially secure and you're ripe to settle down with. You're past the gadding-about phase.....I don't suppose you even go clubbing nowadays, do you?"
"No way," I said, not entirely sure whether to be relieved or worried, "I prefer a peaceful meal and some nice surroundings for my evening out and I gave up coming in at four in the morning ages ago."
"See," said Mum wisely, "Ideal husband. You'll make a good hubby for someone sometime."
"Not if I can help it!" I said with a laugh, because although the idea of settling down again wasn't alien to me, I just wasn't ready -- or perhaps I just hadn't found the right girl.
Whatever, I was seldom alone at night, except by choice. But now the girls were more like women; more mature and sensible -- and most of them actually had fantastic bodies too. There's a certain something about a lovely mature woman -- perhaps they become motherly to you; they appreciate the cuddles and hugs and caresses; they enjoy the words and the actions and the love-making. Because now, instead of just fucking them senseless, I found that I was making love to their bodies -- appreciating their curves, folds and creases in ways that I'd never considered before.
And I was finding it harder to say 'goodbye' too. These women were as desirable to me as I was apparently desirable to them and it was always really hard to end a relationship. No, I didn't have that many relationships during that period but those I did have were far more rewarding than the friends-with-benefits I'd enjoyed before.
There was one particular female who nearly won me over! Sheila was someone I'd met and exchanged phone numbers with and one day she rang me, so I took her out. I'm no good at describing people so all I can say is that she had gorgeous honey-blond sweeping locks of hair; a sweet heart-shaped face with such kissable lips; breasts to die for; an hour-glass waist and nicely broad hips which encompassed one of the hottest pussies I'd ever come across!
Sheila was hot stuff -- how the fuck she hadn't been snared before I just didn't understand.
There was just something about the way she so slinkily shed her clothes -- they just shimmied off her without effort! Her body was lithe and sensual; she could just lie on the bed and look utterly fuckable! And fuck her I did -- time after time! She was as good as made for my eight inch penis which sank to the hilt inside her within minutes of the first time we made it to the bed.
Effortlessly we fucked for hours; both of us cumming time and again; drowning the bed, soaking our bodies and filling the air with sex.
There was only one problem, if I could call it that. She was 30 while I was 42 -- well that wasn't a problem at all, but the real problem was that she was completely insatiable! Now normally I wouldn't have complained because the relationship would have just run it's course until we parted, but somehow this lady was just too good to let go! And to complicate matters, my time was about to be stretched about as far as it could, as I'll explain.
My dear father chose this time to come down with cancer -- an incurable tumour which hadn't thrown up any symptoms until it was too late. Obviously it wasn't his fault, but I guess I felt it was because he was supposed to be there to be with Mum as a husband for life. They gave him just months -- only just long enough to set his affairs in order before his body betrayed his strength and he became an invalid just waiting to die.
Naturally I spent as much time as I could with my parents although to be honest, there wasn't much I could do. Care nurses called on him on and off all day and I'd find myself being in the way rather than being of help, so I tended to try to look after my Mum most of all. And in that I was helped in that I'd never got on with my dad really -- I was too flighty and happy-go-lucky for him and I had no love for his bookwork, figures and other such dull and boring subjects. And therefore, over the years I'd gravitated towards my Mum and when I'd visited them, it had been to give a perfunctory 'hello' to dad and then to spend the rest of my visit with my mother.
My mother, Pamela, was a good strong woman but under the circumstances even she was going to need some help, so I 'cleared the decks' of my girlfriends, including the lovely Sheila, so that I'd be ready and able to provide assistance at a moment's notice. I can't admit that the parting went down too well but so far as I was concerned, family came first and foremost. I'm pleased to say that my bosses understood (better than Sheila did actually) and were most helpful, allowing me as much time off as I needed.....just so long as my key accounts weren't neglected, of course.
To cut out the gory bits, my father died pretty well when they said he would and he was buried without great ceremony, as he'd wished.
And Mum was left all alone, to rattle around in their four-bedroom detached house. The poor woman really was on her own -- their house was in a private lane and their nearest neighbours were several hundred yards away....and then they only used their house in the summer.
So she needed pretty well as much help as I could offer for a while, although she had a variety of bereavement 'counsellors' and other after-care helpers....but they weren't the same as a partner or husband.
But at least I could deal with the rather excessive paperwork that my dad had left behind; I was able to sort out his finances, (which fortunately turned out to be in good shape) and I was able to spend a week of my holiday time painting the house -- I did my bit, in other words.
In time, Mum settled down and before I knew it her social life was up and running -- and now she was actually being more active than she'd been before dad died. I was well pleased......Mum was now a pleasure to go and visit, now she'd come out of her shell.
So one weekend, I opted to spend it with Mum for a change -- partially to see how she was getting on, partially because I quite enjoyed being with her and partially down to a sense of familial duty and on Friday evening, together we settled down to dinner and a nice bottle of wine. I can't remember what we ate -- something Mum cooked, but it was almost certainly enjoyable!
Afterwards we meandered through to the lounge and draped ourselves over the chairs with the remains of the wine to finish.
Mum, as usual, got the conversation rolling.
"Do you know darling," she said to me, smiling, "I just don't know where I'd have been without you; you've been an absolute rock."
