Tina's Sleepover - 7: Janet's Story
© 2024 cv andrews
I guess that this whole thing got started because I had this nagging fear, or maybe it was more of an "anxiety," but anyhow, it was my doing.
Doug and I have been together almost 20 years. He's the love of my life, and I can't imagine life without him.
And that's the point. I'm an adult woman and I know some things about life. And one of the things I know is that at a certain age, that men start to feel that they're missing something, and they start to feel that they need something ... different.
And, no, Doug had never said anything or shown any signs at all that his interest in me was fading or that he was dissatisfied with his life - or with
our
life - in any way. I think he feels about me exactly the same way I feel about him. And sex is still great. No, the fires don't burn as hot as they did when we were 19 and first getting together, but on the other hand we've learned some things over the years, about sex and about how to please each other.
Still, Doug is a man, and men are men. And I knew - know - that when men of a certain age start to feel that they're missing out on something they often do stupid - sometimes destructive - things to find what it is they think they're missing. And I was determined that I was
not
going to let that happen to him - to us.
And that's when the idea started to form in my mind . Somehow in my mind I thought that the solution would be for Doug to have some kind of sexual experience with someone "safe," someone who'd be able to provide the novelty and excitement he might feel he's missing but wouldn't try to lure Doug away from me - from us - and who Doug wouldn't let himself fall in love with.
But who? Who do I - we - know that might be attractive to Doug but also "safe" and wouldn't end up wrecking our home?
And that's when my - our - daughter Jen said something that caught my attention. She happened to mention that her friend Tina's mom was going to be gone on yet another of her many "business trips" the weekend after next.
Tina and Jen have been closest friends since the second grade. Now they're seniors but they're still each other's best friends. Tina is a lovely girl - now young woman, I guess. But the main thing is, she and Doug have known each other since she and Jen became friends 11 years ago and they've always liked each other and get along well, and I think she sees him as kind of a second dad and I think Doug feels that she is like a second daughter.
And now Tina has grown into a lovely young woman. But more than that, I think that she is attracted to Doug. Over the past year I've noticed the way she looks at him and the kind of flirtatious way she acts around him and how she often finds ways to touch him or brush up against him when she thinks no one will notice.
I've never seen Doug react to these behaviors on Tina's part, and he's never said or done anything that's the least bit inappropriate. On the other hand, he can't have failed to notice how Tina has grown and how lovely she's become. And by lovely I mean "sexy." She has this, I don't know,
alluring
,
sultry
way about her that I'm sure Doug hasn't failed to notice.
So I asked Jen and she told me that I wasn't mistaken, that Tina's always liked Doug since the fourth grade, and now that she's matured and begun realizing that men are starting to look at her she's developed a kind of a crush on him. Jen says that Tina's asked her several times if her dad thought she was pretty.
"Actually, Mom, that's not quite right - she's asked if Dad thinks she's
sexy.
"
So when Jen told me all this I got an idea. My sister Ruthie had invited Jen and me to visit them in Des Moines, I realized that this might be the perfect opportunity. I told Jen the her Aunt Ruthie had invited us for a visit that weekend - the same weekend that Tina's mom would be away. And that's when I mentioned - casually, I hoped - that she might let Tina know that we'd be gone and that "your dad might get to feeling a little lonely that weekend so if she wanted to drop by and say hi, that I'm sure your dad would enjoy seeing her."
When I said that last part Jenna gave me this strange look, like "Why'd you say
that?
" but I had to add, just to make sure, "Be sure to tell her. Your dad's always liked Tina, and I think he'd be happy if she dropped by." I just hoped I hadn't laid it on too heavily or been too obvious, but I didn't want to waste this chance. If it really
was
a chance.
So Jen said, "Sure, I'll be sure to tell Tina," and she said it in a way that indicated she knew that something might be up but she wasn't sure what it was.
Of course I had doubts! Let's face it - trying to arrange it so that an attractive teenage girl would come and "keep your husband company" so he won't "wander off" and wreck our family? That's almost a definition of insanity. Or maybe I'd misread the signals and that Tina isn't really attracted to Doug? Or maybe she'd come but Doug would resist doing anything with his daughter's best friend. Or it could backfire and Tina would seduce Doug and he'd fall in love with her and they'd run away to ... to ... where? Or maybe she wouldn't even come and all my concerns would simply be wasted.
Or maybe I'm just a silly neurotic middle-aged (well,
young
middle-aged!) woman who's worried about something completely imaginary.
But I was sure enough that I had to at least try. The week flew by (they seem to more and more, don't they?), and all that time I kept asking myself these questions. But in the end I kept coming back to the conclusion I started with - that it was something I had to do - for our marriage, our family.
And when that Friday came and Jen got home from school and we got the car packed I was still experiencing a mixture of hope and dread. And excitement. There was just one more thing I needed to do before I joined Jen in the car.
I wanted to leave Doug in an aroused state of mind, just in case Tina
did
call him or come over.
When he and I went to say our goodbyes I surprised him with a big, wet, open-mouthed kiss and slipped my hand down between us and grasped his cock through his pants and squeezed, then slid my hand up and down the length of the hard-on I'd just caused several times.
And while I was still squeezing and stroking his cock I said, "
Mmmm
- still got it," and gave him another quick kiss before turning and heading out to the car. I hoped my little tease would leave him in a sexy, wanting condition - IF, that is, Tina actually came over.
And all the time we were driving to Des Moines I kept thinking, "What have I done? Have I just made a terrible mistake?" But I decided, no - it's not a mistake - I have to to it - for us.
By the time we pulled up in the driveway of Ruthie's and Ed's two-story brick Georgian I had forgotten most of my apprehensions and was just looking forward to seeing my sister and my niece and nephew.
Ruthie was already out the door and waiting for us. My sister Ruth is 18 months older than me, and you'd see immediately that we are sisters. Ruth is an inch or two taller than I am, but looking at us you'd have a hard time deciding which one of us is the "big" sister and which is the younger one.
