It was rainy the night they met. Carla was working late at the Country Haven when he walked in. He sat at the far end of the bar, looking lost and alone. Carla approached him and asked, "What can I get for you?"
Toby smiled a sad, lonely smile and replied, "I'd like a beer please."
Carla smiled back at him and said, "Draft or bottle?"
"Draft please."
"Coming right up. I'm Carla. Do you live near here?"
Toby smiled as he looked her over with interest and replied, "I live on Appleton Avenue. I'm Toby. Where do you live?"
"Over on Keystone Avenue across from Washington Park. Are you from Indianapolis?"
"Not originally. I moved here in 1981 when I was stationed at the fort. I was born and raised in Virginia. Are you from here?"
Carla pours him his beer, looks him over with interest and says, "I"m orginially from Connecticut. Are you married?"
Toby smiles and says, "Yes, I'm married. Are you?"
"Yes, ten years. Any children?"
"Two grown sons. What time do you get off here? I've been married for thirty years now. My wife and I are living together as roommates more than partners or husband and wife."
Carla cleans up near where he is sitting, looks at her watch and says, "I'm done in thirty minutes. My husband is out of town hunting in Montana. I'm going to stay here for a while and watch the band."
Toby searches her violet eyes and says, "My wife is in Texas on business and visiting relatives. Would you mind if I joined you here for a while?"
"I'd love to have your company, Toby. Sit tight and let me finish up."
Toby squeezes her hand and says, "I'll be waiting."
Two hours later, Toby and Carla are standing in front of her apartment. Toby runs his fingers over her hand, looks into her violet eyes then lowers his head and kisses her. Carla responds by lifting her hands to his shoulders and deepening the kiss.
Toby nibbles on her full lower lip and whispers, "I should go."
Carla tightens her hold on him and says, "Can you come in for a bit?"
Toby lifts his head, searches her eyes and says, "If I come in, I'll stay the night. Are you sure that's what you want?"
Carla responds by opening her door and leading him into her apartment. She shuts the door, leans back against it and says, "I won't lie to you and say I love you. My husband has been gone for two weeks and I need someone to hold me tonight. I like you and I find you very attractive. If you want to leave now, I won't stop you."
Toby cups her cheeks, lowers his head and says, "Lord, help me." as he kisses her. He runs his tongue along her lips and whispers, "Suck on my tongue like it's my dick."
Carla does what he asks then lifts her hand to his shirt and slowly unbuttons it. She nibbles on his lips and whispers, "Shall we move this into the bedroom?"
