Connie and I were lying in her bed with our arms out, trying to let the breeze from the overhead fan cool our naked bodies down a little bit. Both drenched in sweat. Both fucked out, that's all, just plain fucked out. That girl is enthusiastic, I gotta hand it to her.
I've told you about her before. Connie is a crazy married girlfriend of mine who had decided it would be a hoot to rent me out to the women in the neighborhood. I had never realized how many wives are out there dreaming of some good sex and not getting it. They settle into a rut with the husband and that's it, a couple times a week or whatever, same old thing. But they want some real attention. And Connie is the type of lady, the girls sit and chit-chat over coffee and they tell her their deepest darkest secrets, and she would like to help them out, and now she is doing something proactive. She says I am a "good fuck" so she rents me out to them for a couple of hours. She collects the money and I don't know how much she keeps but she gives me a fair amount.
We were lying there cooling down after an hour and a half of amazing ... everything ... and she said, "Oh! I almost forgot. I have somebody for you. Rebecca, I don't think you know her. She lives on Oliver Court."
"Okay," I said, "Name doesn't ring a bell."
"She's a quiet little thing, a little shy about things at first but we had a nice talk. I know her husband and he's a decent guy but, I guess, a little backwards is the best way to put it. A little old-fashioned, makes a lot of dough renting out heavy equipment or something. And she doesn't really know much, it seemed like. So listen Doc, I got the feeling she might be a little naive. Go slow with her, okay?"
So that's all I knew. I was given an address and Connie said to be at the lady's house on Thursday afternoon.
I parked in front of a modest suburban ranch home on a nondescript street, a few blocks behind where the Conquistador is, knocked on the door, and it opened a crack. I saw an eye peeking out at me. "Doctah, is that you?"
"Yes," I said. "Rebecca? Connie gave me this address."
"Ok, good," the voice said, and the chain came down, the door opened and I stepped inside.
Every house is so different. This one was, I guess you'd say, rustic. There was a lot of knotty pine, unfinished wood furniture, a guitar leaning in the corner. Rebecca was barefoot, in a kind of overcoat or robe thing, nice, ivory with turquoise trim, maybe it was cotton, very comfortable and simple looking. Actually, it was kind of elegant, but not fashionable or sexy in any way. She had her hair in long pigtail braids, did not seem to be wearing makeup, small hoop earrings. Petite, quiet looking. She was cute.
"Come in," she said, looking me over, appraising this stranger in her house. Apparently I passed the test. She waved me to the couch and we sat side by side.
"Connie was telling me about you," she said. "Actually, it just sort of came up when I was complaining about my stupid life. I mean, I've got everything, right? I shouldn't complain."
I did not respond to that.
"I've got everything but it's not enough, is that stupid or what?"
"I don't think it's stupid," I said, being not-stupid myself and knowing the safe thing to say.
"Anyway, we were talking and somehow your name got mentioned. Connie said she's known you a long time? I forget the whole story."
"Oh yeah, we've known each other for years. I worked with her husband. I might have even introduced them, depending on who you believe."
"I don't usually complain about my life, you know, but somehow Connie is able to get you talking, well you know how she is. And I had been realizing how kind of sheltered I had been. There's nothing really wrong, you know, but, I mean, is this all there is to life?"
"Yeah, we all go through that at some point, I think," I said.
"And so Connie, you know how she is, after listening to me she said, 'Yeah, actually there is more to life.' It kind of surprised me, because I didn't know what she meant, but she was serious. And we were talking, and she sort of mentioned that maybe I would enjoy spending some time with you. So kind of on impulse I said, 'okay, let's try it.'' I hope that's all right."
I laughed. "Of course it's all right. This is one of Connie's crazy ideas. She'll get something in her head and next thing you know she makes it happen. Who knows, maybe this will catch on everywhere. It could become a thing, service calls."
Rebecca was clearly an intelligent woman, small-boned and frail looking, the kind that seems to be made out of porcelain, educated-looking though I had the impression she was not very well educated, and she was carefully observing my expressions, my mannerisms, evaluating me. I surmised she was still considering backing out of this deal. Which is fine with me, I don't want to force myself on anybody. I had taken the time off work already, it would just mean I had a free afternoon.
"Well you know Connie, the conversation became sort of, you know, X-rated," Rebecca said. "Her favorite topic." We shared a laugh. "And she said you are fun. That was her word, fun."
"Well I'm not a comedian or anything," I said. "But I do consider myself very lucky. Look at me now, sitting here with you."
This seemed to settle her satisfactorily.
"So, what do we do?" she asked me.
"Good question. What do you want to do?"
"I don't know," she said. "My husband will get home about seven, so we've got some time."
"Some of Connie's friends are interested in some sexual interaction," I said, tactfully.
"Oh!" she said, looking me over. "Absolutely. I guess I should have said."
"I guess Connie could have sent me over to wash your dishes."
"Oh, would you? While you're here I have some silver that needs polishing, too."
"I'll polish your silver," I said, and I leaned over and kissed her. It was a delicious and passionate kiss, lasting a few sweet seconds.
"One thing," I said. "Whatever we do here, can we agree to be honest about things? I'm not married to you, I'm here to bring some happiness to your life but you need to show me how to do that. You need to be able to tell me what you want."
Her face hovered a few inches from mine while I spoke. She nodded, absorbing what I'd said. "Not married to me," she repeated.
"Right. I don't own you, and I only appear when Connie sends me." This time she leaned over and kissed me. I enjoyed kissing her, good sign.
"I'm not really the bossy type," she said, "But let me try to learn to say what I want. Please tell me if I'm being overbearing, okay?"
"Absolutely."
"And also," she added. "I want you to tell me what you want. That's what I want."
"Okay," I said. "Let's not beat around the bush, how's that sound?"
She took a deep breath and fidgeted for a minute. "So is that all right? We just tell each other what we want?" I nodded. "Okay, let me try it." She took a breath. "I'd like to see you naked," she said, as if she were delivering a wish to a genie. "Oh listen to me, is that awful? I'm terrible."
"Here in the living room?"
"Uh, no, in the, no, yeah, here. Right here. You undress and I'll watch."
I stood up. "Okay, but I'm not going to dance or anything." Though I admit I made a tiny bit of a show of unbuttoning my shirt and tossing it on the chair, and removing my boots.
"Wait," she said. "Let me see you."
I was wearing blue jeans. That's all. I stood there looking down at her and she let her eyes roam over my body. "Connie has a good eye," she said. "Okay, let's see you naked. I can't believe I am telling you what to do. But actually this is terribly fun."
I unbuckled my belt, undid a row of snaps, and in a few seconds my jeans and underwear were in a pile at my feet.
Rebecca was smiling. "Oh, I could get used to this," she said. "Can I touch you?"
"You can do anything you want," I said. "I'm here for you."
"And look at you," she said. He reached out and touched my hip, ran her hand over the side of it, to the front. It was a hesitant but bold touch, as if she was making sure I was real. My penis had been hanging loose but began to twitch as her hands explored me.
She looked up at me. "Did you see that?"
"See what?"
"It jumped."
"Well it felt good when you touched me."
"That felt good?" she asked, incredulous.
"Yes," I said. "Your fingers felt good on my skin."
"But I barely touched you."
"Do you want to touch me some more?" I asked her.
"Actually, yes, please."
She was sitting on the couch, leaning forward, and I was standing in front of her, naked. Rebecca seemed pretty young, mid-twenties I'd guess. She seemed like someone with a normal social life and normal exposure to reality, but extremely innocent when it came to physical sexuality. She touched my other thigh and ran her finger toward my knee, eliciting a crop of goosebumps.
"Tickles," I said.
"I'm sorry," she said.
