These stories were a fantasy. I wrote them a few years ago as I was going through some very challenging personal times, and due to the fact that I'm the kind of person that people trust some of their deepest secrets with, I found myself in a place where I learned that two of my neighbors -- one of whom was a beautiful and sexy married woman that I'm calling Diane (not her real name), the other was a super hot single middle-aged man named Rick (also not his real name) had a crush on one another. I found out that Rick could see the back of Diane's house from his deck, and would often look at her through a telescope, and I also earned that Diane would often time her Saturday morning dog walks to "accidentally" happen by the baseball field where he was coaching the local high school team.
Because I didn't know either Diane or Rick well, I couldn't very well tell them about this discovery, so I reached out to him anonymously, figuring that he'd take the cues and make a move (and to be honest, I wanted to gauge his interest in her to see if my sources were correct -- and they absolutely were, as he confirmed in a variety of ways -- he was definitely hot for her). Sadly for me (and for both of them!), he didn't make a move -- claimed it was against his "moral code," which by that point I knew was complete bullshit as he'd admitted to having a previous affair with another married woman, and had also admitted to some fun flirting with Diane. All I could think for reasons were that he talked a better game than he actually had, and he was somehow intimidated by her (even though all my impressions of her were that she was super nice, friendly, and welcoming -- and I have to believe she'd be that way in bed, also).
I wrote and sent him these stories to give him some suggestions on what might happen if he'd make just the slightest move, if he'd just initiate, and to let him know that she'd be a receptive and willing participant in whatever he wanted to do.
Alas, he didn't capitalize on the opportunity -- and ultimately, given her neediness (a fact I learned from my sources, as her husband traveled a lot for work and was sometimes away for weeks at a time), but good news came out of it, I was able to connect her with another single man in the neighborhood, and last I heard, it was a mutually and tremendously beneficial relationship for both of them...
This first story is called Dugout.
********************
One Saturday morning, you are over at the baseball field working on the grass, making sure everything is perfect for the game later in the day. You've been working for awhile, and it's a warm day, so you're shirtless, wearing nothing but athletic shorts and shoes. You look up when you hear a "Hey!" and it's her, turning into the gate with her dog. She's wearing a tennis dress, looking really cute, and she's walking her dog, and she's clearly just stopping in to say hello.
But you also notice she's limping slightly, and as you walk over to the fence to greet her, you ask her what's up with that. She says it's no big deal, that she thinks she must have turned it playing tennis, and that it hurts like hell to put pressure on it but she'll get over it, it'll be fine. You also think you notice that she's glancing at your chest trying not to stare at your body, but you can't be sure about that. You tell her to come around and into the dugout, where she can elevate it and put some ice on it. She initially protests, but you gently insist, saying at minimum the ice will be cool on such a hot day and help it feel better. So she agrees, ties the dog up to the bleachers, and limps around to where you are.
She sits down, and you pull over a bench and help her lift her foot up onto it so you can take a look. You're sitting on the bench right in front of her, and when you touch the back of her lower leg to pick it up and set it on your thigh, the touch is almost electric, and you stir in your shorts a little bit. The ankle isn't swollen or bruised, so you ask her about the pain, and she says it's not really in her ankle, but a little higher up, on the back of her shin. You say that it could be just a muscle strain, and would she like you to try to rub it out a little bit. She looks down, somewhat embarrassed about it, but says she'd like that.
