Sylvia and I didn't meet again for a few days. We needed to recharge, I think. It had been a wild few days and I needed a break. Oh, the sex was amazing and I want more of it, but I also knew that we could burn out if we weren't careful.
Lori and I had dinner with her folks over the weekend, though, and Sylvia looked good enough to eat. But we behaved and kept our clothes on through the whole meal. My juices were flowing by the end of the evening, and I fucked Lori hard that night. I think she wondered what had gotten into me. I was ravenous.
On Monday, Herb called me and asked me if I could come over. I had actually gone to work, but I didn't need to be there really, so I told my assistant that I had a meeting with Herb, and I headed over to their house. It's early July and hot, so I was glad for the air conditioning in the truck, that's for sure.
I had no idea what Herb had on his mind, so I was a little bit worried. Not nervous, but I knew that there was always the possibility that he had found out about Sylvia. It wasn't likely, of course, but it could happen. And I couldn't think of what else he might want.
When I got there, Herb answered the door for me and welcomed me in. He didn't act angry or concerned, so I relaxed and we went to their kitchen for a drink. While we were there, Herb asked me if I could help him with something. I said sure.
He said, "The master bathroom sink is leaking and I just don't have the energy to get under there and fix it. I hope you don't mind, but I really would appreciate the help." He looked almost embarrassed to ask.
"Sure, of course. Happy to do it, but I didn't bring tools. Point me to your toolbox and I'll do it now. Are you ok with not having that bathroom for an hour or so?"
He said, "No problem, we have others. It's just been on my mind and I want to get it taken care of."
The toolbox was on the workbench in the garage, so I made sure it had what I thought I would need and then started upstairs. Herb started following me, but I said, "Herb, I know where it is. Go sit and rest. It won't be too long, I don't think."
He looked grateful and went to his chair in the family room. I said, "Is Sylvia home? I don't want to surprise her."
He said, "Oh, she's up there doing something but it will be fine. She's decent."
When I went into their room, Sylvia wasn't there. I was disappointed, because I was looking forward to a quick kiss or two. I mean, it had been a few days since we had been together.
The bathroom door was open so I just went on in, flipping the light switch as I did so, and then went right to work on the sink. I'm not much of a handyman but I can usually figure out simple things like this. It turned that the leak was underneath the vanity, the drain pipe was a little loose, so I grabbed a wrench and had it tightened and cleaned up in a couple minutes.
As I was pulling myself out of the vanity, I heard Sylvia calling for me. "John? Herb said you're up here!" And she came around the corner just as I was getting to my feet.
I smiled and pulled her into my embrace. "Hi, gorgeous, I've missed you." She leaned in and kissed me tenderly on the lips.
