This story is based on real life experience. Nobody in it is under 18 years of age. To set the scene, these events took place a good long time ago, long before porn videos and the internet instructed youngsters about sex, and anatomical awareness was, at best, hit and miss.
I got married too young. Who didn't? The old story - seemed like a good idea at the time. Along came our lovely daughter, but my wife Joy got fatter and lost interest in sex - not that she'd ever had much. But then, I probably hadn't helped, as my knowledge of the subject was gained from toilet walls - I was hardly God's gift.
Jane was four when Joy and her nice but interfering mum took the three of them for a week at the seaside.
I went nervously to a party thrown by a guy I knew from the rugby club and his wife. Ann was there on her own, a quiet, slender girl in her early twenties with brown, shoulder-length hair and slightly crooked teeth. We danced together in the darkened room for much of the evening, then I gave her a lift home to a not-very-salubrious part of Leeds. When I leaned across to kiss her goodnight, she returned my kiss hungrily, snaking her slim arm around my neck. My sex-starved cock rose and stood to attention.
'I've got to go,' she said breathlessly.
'Can I see you again?' I heard myself saying.
'Why not? Come and call for me - at NΒΊ 63 - next Wednesday night?'
'OK,' I said, giving her a card with my office number on 'just in case she wanted a chat.' I drove off, watching her scurrying off in my mirror, awkward in high heels nd tight skirt. I had never taken a positive step towards infidelity up to that point, though it would be wrong to say that it hadn't crossed my mind - a guy in his early twenties who isn't getting it - well...
Came the evening in question, and I invented a story about a meeting at the rugby club or something, and went along to collect Ann. I was dismayed when my knock on the door of NΒΊ 63 was answered by a young guy wearing track suit bottoms and a white vest.
'I'm looking for Miss Ann Steels,' I said.
'It's Mrs Ann Steels. I'm her husband,' replied the guy, with a scouse accent.
Muttering something about being from Social Services and having been misinformed, I left rather hurriedly, thinking that was that, and had a pint or two before making my disgruntled way home.
I was more than a little surprised, then, when our receptionist, Pat, yelled out that there was a call for me next morning. It was Ann - and to my further surprise, she sounded amused, rather than angry.
'Sorry about last night,' she said, 'the bastard came home without telling me. How about Saturday night?'
I thought quickly. Joy usually went to her mother's on Saturday nights, and I was playing cricket - first match of the season - so she wouldn't expect me home anyway.
'That would be great,' I said, 'but could we meet somewhere else?' I didn't relish running into hubby again.
'OK,' she chuckled, and we arranged to meet near the market. I got there early, and thought at first she was going to stand me up, then there she was, my first illicit date, tottering across the busy street in black suede stilettos, wearing a tight blue and white cotton print dress. When she got into my car, the dress rode up above her knees, which were sharp and bony, and asking to be touched. I have this thing about slender knees, and they felt so very good under my touch. Ann turned towards me and gave me her slightly crooked smile. I kissed her lightly.
'Where to?' I asked.
'Somewhere nice and quiet,' she replied. I could hardly believe my ears. I drove as quickly as I could out of the city bustle, and we were soon in quiet spring dusk, leafy lanes seeming to beckon me. I found an unmade road that looked promising, beside a copse of young trees, and pulled off it onto a patch of dried mud.
There was no real shyness about Ann as I took her in my arms and kissed her searchingly, slipping my tongue in between her teeth and finding no resistance, so that I wondered briefly just how used she was to this kind of thing. But then it didn't matter any more, as she allowed me to help her over into the back seat, giggling at the awkwardness of the manoeuvre. We kissed again, and I ran my hand up under her skirt, its tightness restricting my movement.
'Wait!' she said, breathlessly, and struggled to pull the hem up, wriggling, and saying that she normally stepped into this dress, as it was so tight, and that she didn't want to tear it. But soon it was around her waist, and in the dim interior light of the car, I could see that she was wearing a tiny pair of black lace panties. I didn't have to work hard to take them off - she lifted her arse of the seat to help.
