"The perfect orgasm" I said.
I thought my sister Kelly was going to spit her drink out on the booth table. She sat and stared at me for a moment.
"You're serious" she seemed awed.
"Very serious" I took a sip of my drink.
I had given the answer in response to Kelly's question of what I wanted for my forty-fifth birthday.
I'm sorry; I should have filled in the background for you. My name is Miranda Cart; I live in Miami and I sell real estate. Things really aren't that bad in life right now, they just are...I don't know...normal.
It was a struggle in the beginning. I was pregnant at eighteen, a mom at nineteen, and married at twenty. Yeah; that's the right order. Probably because of that order; you can add divorced at twenty-two.
My daughter Ashley was born form that marriage. She now lives in Jacksonville with her husband. I hope to be a doting grandmother someday.
Selling real estate in Miami I had two advantages. One was a pair of 36C's on a five foot five slender frame; my weight is my own business. The other was a set of legs Marilyn Monroe would die for.
I admit I struggled as a junior member of the firm the first few years; then I finally sold the big one. I know 250k in Miami isn't much; but when someone hands you a commission check for over ten thousand, and you've been surviving on fifteen to twenty a year; it meant a LOT.
I took that check and slapped it in my bank, and then promptly went out and got drunk. Give me a break, I was twenty-six and giddy with success. I was also pregnant the next month; which explains the nineteen year old living in my house.
Eric is not a bad kid; he finished high school with decent grades, and decided to take a year off to figure where his life is going. I can't blame him there. I know he'll be heading off to college soon; and I have to admit it gives me a bit of the empty nest syndrome.
And that brings me back to where we were. Sitting in a bar on a Friday night; a week before my birthday, with my sister; explain that one. She had asked me what I wanted for my birthday, so I told her.
I looked over my glass at her, she watched me closely. I could see the questions rolling around inside her head.
"Mind explaining that" Kelly asked.
I sighed, how to put this into words. Life really wasn't bad...there was just something...missing.
"I like sex, I really do" I started with the obvious. "But just once, it would be nice to not have to give directions; to not have to tell him where to touch or what to do." I sighed.
"Honey, good luck" Kelly snorted. "I've been married five years and Ben still needs a bit of help." She looked up. "But the sex is still good, so it's OK."
"I don't want just good" I whispered. "I want perfect."
"OK" Kelly took a big swallow. "Describe this perfect O sis", she stared at me.
I took a deep breath, trying to find both the courage, and the words.
"I don't want it to be wham bam" I said. "I want it to build...and build...and build..." I stared off. "I want it to hang there, right out of reach; until I beg for it." I shivered.
"Jesus Christ" Kelly whispered at me. "You've got it bad sis." She told me.
"Yeah, I know" I couldn't help but sigh.
"The problem is; there isn't a man alive who knows my mind and my body that well." I stood and gathered my purse.
Kelly just sat for a moment staring at her purse.
"What?" I looked at her.
"Uh, nothing" she shook her head. "Just thinking" she added.
We gathered our things and headed for the parking lot. Another Friday night alone, I decided. Maybe if Eric is on his play station I might get a little 'me' time in. When we reached our cars, I turned to Kelly.
"Well, it's a nice dream" I laughed.
"You never know" Kelly had a strange look on her face. "He might be out there...somewhere."
Before I could ask, she slid into her car; so we just called it a night.
As I expected, when I got home, I could hear Eric's game going to town through his half open door. We always made a point of telling the other goodnight when we returned, so neither would worry.
"I'm back" I called into his room from the door.
Eric swiveled in his chair and waved at me, then swiveled back. It was only for a second; but a VERY long second as I watched his bare broad chest come into view and then disappear. I felt a flip in the pit of my stomach.
You need to get laid old lady, I told myself; heading off to my room.
The next day Eric was out of the house by noon, so I figured time for home chores. I threw on a pair of sweats and attacked the laundry first.
Less than two miles from home, Eric Cart slid onto the bench of a picnic table in the school park. He watched some of the women playing with their children. While most guys his age were after the cheerleaders, Eric freely admitted there was nothing better to him than the mature form.
The problem was, even then he was critical. One woman had a nice set of breasts, but Eric frowned at the large ass that hung out behind. Another had a great set of legs, until you got above the knees and they just seemed to balloon out to him.
"Hey" a woman's voice brought his attention back.
"Hey yourself" he watched her slide onto the bench across from him.
"Thanks for coming" the woman told Eric.
"Not a problem; so what's all the secrecy?" he asked.
"This conversation never occurred" Eric was caught by surprise. "If you say anything about it, I will cut off your nuts and feed them to you."
"Jesus Aunt Kelly" Eric exploded.
"This is going to be the strangest conversation you've ever had" Kelly leaned forward and looked at her nephew. "And I want straight and honest answers." She told him.
"Oooo Kkkk" Eric was now totally confused. Then, he got blown out of the water by his Aunt.
"I take it you're not a virgin." Kelly said calmly.
"Holy Shit" Eric exclaimed.
