Looking around her kitchen in disgust, Kendra seethed at her husband. The kitchen pipes leaked, and the overhead ceiling fans didn't work. The bathroom wasn't much better - the faucet had been leaking for more than a year. And outside the house, several things needed to be painted, the gutters needed to be cleaned, and a retaining wall was crumbling apart. Having grown up with a Father who was handy around the house, Kendra was used to having a man in her life who knew how to fix stuff and was proactive about taking care of things that needed to be repaired.
But Kendra's husband, Ed, was much different. He was a computer geek who spent all of his free time playing video games. He was a smart, caring man, but he wasn't very handy with household repairs, despite her pleas for him to get these things taken care of.
"Screw it," she thought to herself, "I don't care what it costs, I am going to hire a handyman to get this house in shape - I'm sick of being surrounded by so many problems."
Without knowing where to turn, Kendra turned to Craigslist to search for a handyman. Several listings came up, most with very little information about the person who was for hire and numerous misspellings and typos. But one ad in particular caught her attention:
"Handyman for Hire - skilled with plumbing, painting, carpentry, electrical work, and landscaping. I'll do *whatever* you need. Reasonable rates, references available by request." The ad included not only his name and number, but also a picture.
In many ways, he looked like your typical handyman - the type of guy who has dirt under his fingernails, a grungy baseball cap, stained jeans, a dirty Carhartt jacket, and big shit-kicker steel-toed boots. But he was smiling in the picture. Not just your typical "smile for the camera" smile, but a sensual, seductive smile. Blond hair, blue eyes, perfect teeth, and soft, full lips. And that sexy grin.
Curious, Kendra picked up the phone and dialed the number in the ad.
"Hello, Dan speaking."
"Umm, hi, my name is Kendra, and I was calling about your ad for Handyman work on Craigslist?"
"Oh yeah, sure, what can I do for you?"
"Well, I need a whole bunch of stuff done, would you be able to come over to my house to take a look and give me an estimate?"
Dan took down her name, number, and address, and set up a time to stop by. As she hung the phone up, Kendra couldn't help but close her eyes and think about the sexy man with the devilish grin and smooth, smiling voice. There was something about a blue-collared man that always got Kendra going - they were usually hard-working, strong, skilled with their hands, and smart when it came to real-world skills - but above all, every blue-collared guy she knew was passionate and knew how to have fun at the end of the workday. To say that she was looking forward to Dan's visit was an understatement!

Kendra didn't tell her husband about the appointment with the Dan. She knew if she told him, he would force her to cancel on the grounds that it would cost too much and he could do the work himself. Of course, he habitually overestimated his skills at repair work, and he never actually got around to doing it. Some of the things on her "honey-do" list had been there for three years!
The morning she was set to meet with Dan, she found herself getting aroused in the shower when she thought about him. Kendra took her time shaving her legs and pussy, and after her shower, she put on sweet-smelling lotion and put a little extra effort into her hair and make-up. Normally she would lounge around the house in sweatpants, but today she put on a short, loose skirt and low-cut, tight shirt.
She felt silly having feelings of lust for a man she didn't know and had only spoken to for a few minutes, but she had always had a fantasy about screwing a contractor working in her house. And it wasn't like her gaming-geek husband ever found time to keep her satisfied in the bedroom, anyway!
Dan arrived at 10am, exactly as scheduled. Opening the door to greet him, she was blinded by his dazzling, sexy smile and the mischievous twinkle in his eyes. Kendra reached out to shake his hand and found it was rough and calloused, as expected, but strong and muscular, as well. His handshake was warm and friendly, and she wondered what it would feel like to have his hands caressing her naked body.
"Stop that!" she thought to herself. "This man is here to do a job!"
"So, where would you like to start?" he asked.
"In the bedroom," she replied dreamily.
His eyebrows shot up in surprise as she quickly realized how that must have sounded. "I have a problem in the bedroom - the track for the closet door is messed up and the door won't close. That's probably the easiest thing on my list, can you start there?"
She led him down to the bedroom and he took a look at the door, jotting some notes down in his notebook. "Ok, got it, what else?" he asked.
Kendra led Dan room by room, pointing out each of the items that needed to be repaired or replaced, as he made notes of the amount of work he expected each item to take and what kinds of materials he might need. Once he had finished the tour and completed his notes, he turned to her, "The good news is that none of these things are a big deal - the materials will add up a bit, but most of the work is pretty simple so the labor charges will be reasonable."
