I knew we were pressing it, and it’s gone both ways. A couple times we could have opened it earlier, and a couple we should have waited. No problem....We talked more about the training and summer plans and several other issues.In any case, it was nice out and we were out a bit after noon soaking up some rays and some drinks when Marian said in a quiet voice, “If we go to Europe again, can we take Maria to Malta and to see her family in Palermo. It would be a great vacation, and I think since she. I knew she was reluctant to kiss but with little courage, I had decided to push it this time.With the blanket making us warm I made the move and started tasting her lips. Her lips were erotic like a cherry melting down my inner sexual chroma. She lifted her face for my kiss. She was eager and hungry. Her full chocolate-sweet lips soft against mine. Her pink tongue urgently probing inside my mouth.I lightly closed my hands around her shoulders. So that I could lightly squish my thumbs through. I didn’t waste any time, it was 10.15 in the night, I just called, she took the call, I told her, I was the one who she had mailed, and wanted to talk, we had a formal chat, she said, she liked my stories, and would love to meet n the weekend, well, can any body say no to this, she seemed real, I didn’t think ahead of anything, I mailed her back the time and place to meet, I selected a coffee day, as it would be easy to chat, I got a prompt mail, saying to meet near a mall, and she would pick. After all, he was smart, caring, and loving... everything a person would want in a lover.Jim. My lover.I decided to focus on other things. Wendy was a surprise to me. I told her about Jim helping me. I knew she had a reputation of being a gossip, but she promised not to tell anybody. In fact, she told me that she wanted to join in. At first, I was jealous to see Jim leering at Wendy, but I quickly noticed that when he looked at me, he would give me a warm smile. He simply leered when he looked.
