A friend commented in passing that she liked to watch her neighbor, across the street. I loved the idea and decided to write this story in response to her fantasy. Thanks for the kind encouragement. "C_FRISKY"
Gazing through the living room window Karen observes the sight she has come to relish of late. Taking a perch on the arm of the couch she smiles and watches attentively the neighbor's movements as he performs his pre-run stretching exercises. It's so wonderful to have such a hunk as a neighbor, she thought.
He continued to bend and massage his lower extremities. Good god! She thought, look at those buns. Reaching down, she places a finger at the opening of her vagina. Gently, she begins to rub the clitoris. Watching intently as her neighbor begins to run down the street, gracefully, powerfully surging with each stride, he passes out of sight.
Karen closes her eyes and imagines the lithe body of her neighbor warm and covered with a fine mist of perspiration pressed against hers. She rubs her clit more vigorously now. A tingling sensation emanating from her center begins a cascade of warm convulsions surging through her. She falls back onto the couch in a fetal position, clutching her finger tightly to her with her thighs, mewing like a kitten.
Crain had been distracted lately; his wife had been tied up out west with details on a property her company had bought for an expansion project. Running was the best medicine for these lengthy separations so he was running more than he usually did. At the three mile mark he decided to turn around and head back.
He loved the neighborhood they had moved into last month. A big upgrade from where they had lived before. And the neighbors were all so nice it was hard to imagine a better place to live and work.
Crain worked at home for the most part. His job allowed him to develop software at home with an occasional trip to attend a conference or to implement a software package. Running was his escape from all the pressures of a home office, and now an alternative to the loneliness of separation.
Running into his driveway, he continues to walk around in a circle, hands-on-hips, to cool off. After a few moments he begins to stretch his leg muscles, continuing his cool down ritual. Looking up he notices the neighbor woman across the street peering through the window in his direction. With a smile he waves, then turns and heads for the house and a shower.
Watching her neighbor return from his run Karen was struck with how often he seemed to run. It didn't seem right for someone to run so much. And where had his pretty wife been? She hadn't seen her in days. Just then she saw him wave in her direction. A warm flush of embarrassment washed over her, she had been caught peeping. "Oh god!" She gasped to herself. "He must think I'm a snoop."
The following morning Karen waited for him to begin his pre-run warm up keeping just out of sight behind a sheer lace curtain. As he began, he glanced noticeably toward Karen's window several times. Did he know she was watching? She wondered. Did he know what she was doing every morning? She was so embarrassed by the thought of him aware of her voyeurism she was unable to enjoy herself as she usually did. Upset with this disaffection she sobbed quietly and turned away to sadly begin her day without sexual satisfaction for the first time in weeks.
Burying herself in her art work was what Karen did best and today she redoubled her effort. Born a natural artist she expressed herself best this way. Often reclusive, she would paint for hours before taking a break. Today was like this. She painted for hours before she noticed the natural light dimming, sighing she cleans her brushes and palette and wanders into the kitchen for something to eat.
All day she had been haunted by her neighbor waving and smiling at her the previous day, wishing he hadn't seen her, hadn't ruined the private little moment that she had become so reliant on for her sexual release. Longingly, she sobbed herself to sleep in the empty clutches of her desires.
Crain had seen his neighbor before; she was cute, a few years older than he was, but very attractive. He thought it odd that he had not seen her today. He regularly saw her in the window on the mornings he ran. Why did he think it odd? He wondered. He found himself longing for the sight of her. Wondering what she was doing, where she was, why she hadn't shown up this morning. "I need some new thoughts." He said out loud, shaking his head. "I'm missing a woman I haven't even met." I can't wait for the wife to get home. He thought, dreamily, sitting down to the computer to begin the day's work.
As the evening drew close Crain yawned, and stretched his arms upwards relieving the stress of sitting at the computer terminal for so long. Hitting the save button, he turned the monitor off and got up to fix dinner. Batching it was not much fun at dinner time. Loneliness stalked him relentlessly at times like this, the memories of his wife flooding back into his consciousness. How she could cook, he thought. Fixing a plate of cold-cuts he moved to the living room to watch TV and eat. Afterward he went to bed, lonely and despairing of the empty bed beside him.
Waking in the morning, Karen got up, showered, and made her way to the car in the garage to run the errands that had piled up these last few weeks. Off she went with a purposeful air about her movements. Expecting to take most of the day with the things she had wanted to accomplish, she lost the motivation to continue rather early, became despondent, and decided to return home at about ten o'clock.
Turning onto the broad avenue that leads toward home, she spied someone clutching a leg and rolling in apparent agony beside the road. Just a glance as she passed made her heart stop, her face flushed with terror and her mind raced with excitement. Mashing fiercely on the brake she screeched to a stop, rammed the car into reverse and lurched to the curb in front of her neighbor, writhing in obvious pain.
Crain did not immediately recognize his neighbor as she got out of her car to assist him.
"Oh you poor thing. Are you hurt?" Karen cried out in horror, assuming the worse.
"I've got a terrible cramp in my leg." Crain responded, with teeth clenched in agony.
"Let's get you home." She asserted, taking control now.
She helped him into the waiting car, and then sped him toward home. As she approached the house she pondered which drive she should pull into. At the last moment she swerved into her drive, slammed the car in park, and rushed to open his door. His pleading that he would be alright at his house was met with indifferent neglect. She pulled him by the arm into a standing position, placed his arm over her shoulders and wrapped her arm around his waist, and began to drag him, hobbling, into the living room of her home.
Once inside she helped him to an overstuffed chair and placed an ottoman under the affected leg. "What happened?" She asked, concerned.
"I've been running more than usual and I think I'm dehydrated." He groaned.
"I've seen you running all the time. That can't be good for you, can it?" She said without thinking.
"You see me running?" He asked confused.
"Oh! Well… I… don't see you all the time. Just when you leave and return… I mean…I don't watch you, I just happen to…" She stuttered.
"Oh god how embarrassing this is. I have watched you, and I enjoy seeing you in the mornings." She finally admitted.
Crain chuckled. "Is that what you were doing the other day when I waved?"
"Yes." She mumbled, lowering her face.
He reached forward, placing his hand on her chin, raising it to look into her eyes. What he saw was beautiful woman who desperately needed to be loved. Forgetting his cramp for the moment he gently leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead. In a swift but sure motion she grabbed his face with both hands and returned his kiss with one of her own, this time fully on the lips.
Karen put her right hand on the back of his neck, as Crain gripped her bra-less breast through the fine fabric of her blouse. Karen let out a moan, and said, "I can't believe this is happening. I am getting so excited."
Moving her backward onto the futon couch Crain continued the kiss. She put her head back on the couch and closed her eyes, a woman who was in new territory and just letting things happen. She was really getting hot. And Crain was really primed. He was breathing heavy and groaning. She was clearly very willing, almost liquid in her motions.
It only took a few seconds to make the futon couch into a bed. Karen pulled the pillows on the bed back, and sat down on the bed. Karen pulled her blouse over her head and shimmied out of her skirt. She put her arms around Crain.
