Bridging The Gap

Jimmy Murphy was a pain in the ass. There was no denying it.

Now in his 80's, he could no longer take care of himself and required a full-time in-home healthcare nurse. He drank and ate too much when he was younger and developed diabetes, resulting in the loss of one of his legs, hardened arteries, vision issues and increased problems with his liver.

On top of everything else, he was racist and a complainer. No one, including his family, wanted much to do with him.

Despite the fragility of age, he was a large man -- well over 260 pounds and when he could stand on his own two feet, he was over six foot tall. He had a difficult life, losing his wife of over thirty years and was now alone. The only family he still had in the area was his daughter, Penny, and her two sons.

Penny was forty-eight years old and a widow. Her husband Michael was a police officer and killed in the line of duty two years earlier leaving Penny and the boys to take care of her long-suffering father and all his problems. Penny's sons were grown and no longer lived in the house -- both had good jobs and families, so it made sense to have Penny's father live with her.

She was a petite, slender woman with light brown hair that reached her collar, smallish breasts and a little yoga ass that would make women half her age jealous. She owned her own accounting firm with a few employees and took care of several small businesses in the area while offering tax services during that season.

She was shrewd and ran the business well -- It afforded her the ability to spend time away from the job whenever she could get away -- she had her passions -- 5 and 10K races, marathons and biking. Running and biking were her release.

Since Michael passed, Penny threw herself into the job and despite the urging of friends, didn't feel right about dating again.

Her solitary life was simple and uncomplicated, but it had its disadvantages. She and Michael had a good marriage and a vibrant and active sex life, and she missed the physicality of it. For months after his passing, she couldn't sleep in their marital bed. It seemed too large, the house too quiet. "Empty Nester" took on a whole new meaning for her.

She slept on the couch for those beginning weeks and months and took solace in her wine to help her get to a point where she could relax.

After her girlfriends failed to get her to start dating again, they talked her into at least getting a BOB (Battery Operated Boyfriend). It all started one night when three of them were over playing cards, drinking wine and complaining about their husbands.

Her girlfriend Carla said, "When Brian and I got married, he was AMAZING in bed... Big dick, talented tongue... he made me cum every time we got together. Now he's got a big belly, and I can't even see that dick anymore and all he uses his tongue for is to brag about how many shots he can do without passing out when he's out with the boys!"

Penny felt her face burn. She remembered how talented Michael was orally; he would bury his face into her pussy so hard and deep that she would scream when she came. He knew how to make love to her and when she just needed to be FUCKED. There was a huge difference between the two to them - there were times when Penny wanted it rough, fast and deep - it made her blush thinking about it but to his credit, Michael understood, and they would rut like two animals.

She was still deep in thought, remembering his skills and didn't notice Carla waving her phone in her face. She glanced down at the screen and saw that Carla had pulled up the Adam and Eve website and was showing her the "toy" section.

Penny gasped... On the screen were literally dozens of vibrators and dildos in every size, shape and color. Some were tiny and slender, and others looked like a construction Thermos! They were all the colors of the rainbow, but her eyes gravitated toward the big "lifelike" dildos with veins and balls.

"Oh, my God, Carla... you little perv!" She cried.

Carla burst out laughing.

"You want to see the one I bought?" she whispered.

The other two girls quickly gathered around Carla's phone as she scrolled to the orders section. When she clicked on the orders, a large black dildo that had to be at least nine inches long and thick as Penny's wrist appeared on the screen. All the girls howled at once!

One of them screamed..." CARLA!!! -- Oh my God! Tell me you didn't buy that!"

Carla smirked and said, "Ladies, this big boy saved my marriage! Every time Brian and I would have a fight, I'd retreat to the bedroom and stuff myself with this black cock until I came so hard that I passed out! One time I was so out of it, Brian walked in and saw it sticking out of me and I was snoring...!"

The ladies all started giggling.

Penny said, "Oh, my God, Carla... how did you explain that?"

Carla said, "I woke up when Brian came in -- he was white as a ghost staring between my legs and just turned and walked out of the room. I thought I was in big trouble, but he NEVER mentioned it again and we have never talked about it. So, he knows I have it and that he's got some competition. I think it was a wake-up call for him, because he's become much more attentive since that day. I still use it from time to time but there's nothing like the real thing to make a girl feel wanted!"

Penny just shook her head and said she could never try anything like that. The girls teased her, reminding her the last time she had a dick was when Michael was alive and that her pussy was going to dry up from lack of use.

She said, "Okay, okay -- I'll entertain you idiots, but there's no way I'm sticking something that size into myself... I would be able to walk the next day!"

They finally settled on a "respectable" vibrator that reminded her of Michael and Carla bought it for her.

"You'll thank me for not letting your womb dry up, Penny!" she kidded her.

Penny felt silly using it -- she and Michael had never needed "toys" to achieve orgasm but soon got over the shame and guilt of it and learned that a good orgasm, no matter where it originated, was the best remedy for a good night's sleep.

Experimentation with the vibrator became an obsession and she found herself using it not only to help her sleep, but in any stressful situation. The one she picked from the Adam and Eve on-line catalogue most resembled Michael's penis, fairly long, but slender and pale white. She debated the idea of trying something bigger or at least thicker, but the guilt of even buying it went against her Catholic tendencies. She was sure no one would fault her for the purchase, but she didn't want to become dependent on the little bit of technology.

At one point, Penny came to the realization that BOB was being used two to three times a day, every day. Horrified at her own weakness, she would try to hide it from herself and bury her attention into her work.

So, when the crisis of her father needing full time care became a necessity, she almost welcomed the distraction and turned one of the boy's rooms into one for her father. She also busied herself into making the home wheelchair accessible. She hired a nurse from a local agency to come check on Jimmy a few times a day, making sure he was eating and getting his medications while she was at work.

As her father's body and mind started to further deteriorate, she found the need to have her stay with him full time until she was home from work and could take over. After some trial and error, she settled on Iris, a no-nonsense nurse, to handle the burden of his care.

Iris was in her mid-thirties, about the same size as Penny but strong as an ox. Penny often marveled at how she could maneuver the big man around, while putting up with his abusive and toxic nature.

When Penny walked through the door, Iris would give her a full report of how his day was. She would tell her about what he ate, how he slept, that she gave him a sponge bath and that he would try to reach out and fondle her from time to time.

Penny would apologize profusely for his behavior, but Iris laughed it off and said that she didn't to apologize for someone else's actions and that it wasn't the first time one of her male patients had tried to put the moves on her.

Penny was glad that it didn't disturb Iris and thanked her over and over for continuing to put up with the old man's tantrums. Iris grinned and told her that they were watching television together and a black newscaster came on. She said Jimmy threw a fit and started slinging racial comments at the screen. She asked Penny where Jimmy's hatred for people of color came from.

Penny shook her head and said that she didn't really know -- she said that Jimmy was three quarters Irish and probably didn't have much interaction with blacks growing up but that she knew for a fact that he worked with some when he was still active.

Iris nodded her head and said that it must be a generational thing. She said she had other patients, both men and women, who seemed to have it out for someone else based on the color of their skin or religious background. She said she wondered if that's how everyone felt about each other and that it was only old people or those who had lost their social graces that spoke what was really on their minds.

Penny shook her head and said, "I'm not around many black people, but I can honestly say, I don't have a prejudice against them because of the color of their skin. I really don't know where this comes from?"

She and Iris discussed the topic a little longer and concluded that most prejudice came from fear rather than real animosity. Iris hung out a little longer after her shift and had dinner with Penny and they split a bottle of wine before she had to go home. Penny hugged her and said she would see her tomorrow.

The next day, Penny got a call on her cell phone from the nursing agency asking her to go home -- that Iris had been hurt at the house and was on her way to the hospital. The woman said that her father was okay, but there was no one there to take care of him until they could plan for a new nurse.

Penny asked her what happened and was told that Jimmy was in his wheelchair and reached over to touch Iris' rear end and fell out onto the floor. Iris had tried to pick him up to put him back into the chair and in the process of settling him in, had ruptured a disc in her back due to the dead weight of the father.

Penny gasped and thanked the woman for the information and said she'd go right home. The woman assured her that her father was okay, in his chair and relaxed. She also told her that she'd have someone new out to take care of Jimmy tomorrow morning.

She said that she had someone in mind based on Iris' recommendation and asked Penny if she thought it might be better to have a man take care of Jimmy due to his size and weight?

Penny told the woman she wasn't sure how Jimmy would react to a man taking care of him but that if Iris had recommended someone in particular, she was sure it would be a good fit. She said that Iris knew Jimmy well enough to understand his personality and needs and that she wouldn't have recommended someone that was suitable for her father.

She asked the woman how Iris was and what the recovery would be before she came back. The woman told her that it may be several months and even then, she might not be the best fit for someone of Jimmy's size. She said she would talk to her and get her wishes and would tell her that Penny was asking about her.

Penny nodded and said she'd be there for the new aide tomorrow morning at eight AM to make sure they understood her father's needs and his daily routine. The woman said that the new nurse was already filled in but would be happy to meet with her tomorrow.

The next morning, Penny was getting ready for work.

Dressed in sharp business attire, she was wearing a white fitted blouse and conservative skirt with a walking slit and heels. She was looking at herself in the bedroom's full-length mirror and turned sideways and frowned a little.

She always wished her breasts were a little fuller but maintained a lean attractive body that men seemed to love -- She decided to wear a little matching jacket over the blouse. She brushed her thick brown hair back behind her ears and shrugged. It was what it was...

She was walking into the kitchen to get Jimmy's breakfast together when she heard the doorbell. She looked at her clock -- 8AM... at least he was punctual!

Penny opened the door and blinked... twice.

"Hello, Mrs. O'Neill. I'm Aaron. Ashley from the agency said you'd be expecting me?"

Penny's mouth dropped open, and she blinked again. Aaron was black. And BIG! He had to be over 6'5 and wide as a linebacker. This had to be a joke! Or maybe a nightmare, depending on how her father reacted.

What was Iris possibly thinking, knowing what she did about Jimmy? Was this his way of getting back at her father for messing up her back?

Penny was still mulling over the sight in front of her, trying to rationalize it. No, Iris wasn't vindictive like that -- there had to be another explanation.

Suddenly, she realized that everything that was going through her head was silent -- she hadn't greeted Aaron at all!!

"Oh, my goodness... Please come in." she said quickly. "I'm so sorry, you weren't at all what I was expecting!"

Aaron grinned and said, "Iris said you would say that... ha! Not expecting a tall young black male nurse to care for your father, huh?"

Penny started shaking and felt her world closing in. But he was right -- this was something out of a nightmare... My God, what would Jimmy think?

She opened the screen door and ushered him in. She knew this was going to go one way or the other and she might as well be totally honest and upfront about it to give Aaron a chance to run.

She said, "Aaron, first of all, thank you so much for coming and being on time. I'm going to be perfectly honest with you, so you know what to expect. My father has dementia in addition to his many other health issues -- some days good, some days bad. And his personality isn't exactly the friendliest. He tends to say whatever is on his mind at the time and damn the feelings of others. I'm afraid he may not relish the fact that a young man of color will be staying at the house with him -- he can be quite the little racist!"

Aaron laughed so loud that Penny jumped...

"Mrs. O'Neill, do I look like I'm the kind of guy that worries about what other people think of me? I'm educated, good at my job and very in tune with the fact that I'm dark black and big and I'm proud of who I am. I am EXACTLY what your father needs, and I will take care of him as if he were my own. So please don't worry about me getting my feelings hurt if he calls me a name or two. I've probably heard it all and also had things thrown at me -- I've even had to talk my way out of a panicked 911 call from a scared patient thinking I was there to rob them."

Penny was still processing everything Aaron just told her when she heard a noise behind her and realized that her father was wheeling up from the bedroom in his wheelchair. She inhaled and held her breath for what was next.

Her father looked past her up at Aaron's imposing figure. And then he did something Penny didn't expect.

He cackled.

It wasn't a low, subdued laugh -- it was a full belly cackle. He coughed and wheezed slight before he spoke.

"What in the FUCK is this? Why is there a nig---" Penny's face went bright red, and she snapped her entire body to face her father.

Penny didn't let him finish the thought before she screamed, "DAD!!!! You can't talk like that! This is Aaron, he's been asked to take care of you until Iris comes back, which may be several months... She hurt her back trying to pick you up. The very least you can do is be grateful the agency found someone so quickly!'

But ol Jimmy Murphy didn't hear any of it. He spun his wheelchair around and practically zoomed out of the kitchen into the family room. She heard the television go on and knew the conversation was over.

She looked up at Aaron and smiled weakly.

She said, "I'm so sorry -- if you want to tell the agency this isn't going to work out, I understand -- we will certainly pay you for today with my thanks and humble apologies."

Aaron cocked his head and smiled at the little brunette with a half grin. His eyes were twinkling, and he said, "I already told you, Mrs. O'Neill... I'm not made of sugar here... I EXPECTED this... Iris told me all about Mr. Murphy and said that it would be good for him to climb out of his comfort zone a little bit -- that it might actually be healthy for him to find out the world isn't all white and right... That there are people out here who actually want to help him, are capable and willing to help him, and who just don't look like him!"

Penny looked up at the giant man in shock -- "Are you sure? Really sure? He can be a handful!" she asked.

Aaron laughed and said, "Yes, I'm sure, really, really, really sure! Let's go over his schedule once more and you can show me where his medicine is."

So, for the next 30 minutes, Penny covered everything that Iris already told him again -- She looked out toward the living room and saw her father sulking, watching some news channel.

She turned and looked up at Aaron. "Here's my cell phone number -- My office is 15 minutes from here and if you decide to leave, please call me in enough time to get here. I'm going to go kiss him goodbye and then you're on your own. May God protect you!"

Aaron watched as the petite white woman disappeared into the other room, taking particular interest in her little yoga ass. He pursed his lips and felt himself stiffen a little but said nothing. He had a job to do and by God, he was going to do it well.

When Penny came back into the room, she told Aaron to let him stew for a little bit -- that he was still mad as a hornet and that they exchanged barbs at one another. He accused her of being a weak-willed liberal kowtowing to minority monkeys and she called him a racist bastard and that he better behave himself because the big black man in the other room was three times the size of him and has her permission to stuff him in a trash can if he isn't polite.

Aaron busted out laughing..." Wow, remind me not to piss you off, Mrs. O'Neill. And thanks!"

Penny laughed and said, "Look, I'm not sure this is going to work AT ALL, but if by some miracle it does, my name is Penny -- Mr. O'Neill died a couple of years ago and I've held onto his name and title long enough, I guess. And as far as my temper goes, I get it honestly. My mother was Irish and as you guessed, my father is also Irish, as was my husband, so I'm Irish by injection any way you look at it!"

As soon as she said it, she regretted it. She blushed and said, "Um, sorry -- that came out wrong... let's just say, I'm Irish all over the place... and leave it at that..."

Aaron belly laughed and said, "Penny, we're going to get along fine... I can tell already... And just like you, I'm African American by injection too...100% - now get to work -- I'm going to go out to my car and get my spear and come in and fight the demons out of Mr. Murphy here -- we'll be fine..."

Penny patted the young man's arm, noticing immediately how fit and firm it was and headed out the door.

When she got in her car, she put her head on the steering wheel for a minute before starting the Volvo.

And then a thought came to her -- a wicked, evil, thought that made her face burn.

"I wonder just how big that injection needle they used on him was?"

After she left, Aaron grabbed a kitchen chair, walked into the living room with it and placed it facing Jimmy. Then he turned off the television and sat face-to-face with Jimmy.

Jimmy howled when the television was turned off.

"You fucking bastard! Turn my show back on immediately!" he yelled.

Aaron shook his head and leaned in until their noses were almost touching.

"Uh, uh... Mr. Murphy -- we're gonna have ourselves a come to Jesus meeting right here and right now. Like it or not, I'm going to take care of you until Iris gets back. That means you're gonna see my ugly black ass at least 12 hours a day for the next several weeks or months, so you better get used to it. I'm going to make sure you eat, take your medicine, don't start any fires and if we learn to get along and respect one another, I'll play chess or checkers or read with you."

He continued... I'll even take you outside so that pale skin of yours can get a little sun if you're good. But before we can get to that point, we're going to have to reach an understanding. I will be polite and respectful to you, but I want the same in return. Because if you don't, your life is going to be pretty lonely and miserable for the foreseeable future. Do you understand me?"

Jimmy's face turned red, and he blinked hard before speaking.

"You're nothing but a baboon... go back to the jungle where you came from, you big ass fuck!"

Aaron shook his head and told the elderly man that he wasn't going anywhere.

Jimmy practically spit when he said, "Where's Iris? Where's my regular nurse? She understands me!"

Aaron said, "Iris is out on medical leave because of you. She tried to pick your fat ass up after you tried to grab her butt and you hurt her back... It's a wonder you weren't brought up on charges, sir!"

The idea of getting arrested caused Jimmy to shrink back in his wheelchair. He looked up at the tall black man with venom in his eyes and then doubled down on his previous threat.

"Listen, BOY..." He said in a low and ominous voice, "This is my house, and my daughter is paying your salary, which makes you my slave, doesn't it? So why don't you back the fuck up and get out of my face? Turn my television on and get out of my sight!"

Aaron gave him a thin grin and decided to let the old man settle down a little. He stood, grabbed the chair and retreated into the kitchen. This old guy was tough as nuts, and it was going to take more than compassion and discussion to dissuade him or win him over.

He heard the television go back on and so he decided to take a walk outside to cool down. It would never work with the two of them yelling at one another. He decided to regroup and try a different tactic.

When he came in, he went into the fridge and scooped two bowls of ice cream out of the freezer. He walked into the living room and silently handed one of them to the old man. Jimmy looked up in shock and took the bowl but said nothing... He started to eat it and was looking at the television.

When the bowl was finish, Jimmy put the bowl down and stared at the tv. You could tell that he was thinking about it and after some time, he turned to Aaron and said,

"Penny's gonna be pissed at you, boy... I'm not allowed to have ice cream -- Diabetic and all."

Aaron nodded his head. "I know you're diabetic -- one scoop of ice cream is not going to kill you. I'm not going to tell her, are you?"

The old man stared at the young nurse and cackled, "You've seen her temper... I'm not going to tell her shit!"

With that, they both laughed -- Aaron thought to himself, well, that's a start... He took the bowls and washed them in the sink and put away the evidence.

When he came back into the living room, Jimmy was asleep in his chair. Aaron wasn't sure if he was supposed to be in bed, or okay to leave him there. He made a mental note asking Penny when she got home.

He picked up a book and was engrossed in the novel, so the time went fast. He heard Penny's door slam and watched as she walked in.

Aaron was watching the door and heard it creep open. Penny must have been used to the idea that her father slept in the afternoon and knew not to make a lot of noise coming in. She closed the door quietly and saw him sleeping in the living room. Then she spotted Aaron and gave him a little smile and a wave. She motioned for him to meet her in the den.

"How's he do today? I see you're still in one piece!" she uttered.

Aaron laughed and said, "Well, we had our moments for sure. A little progress -- He went from calling me a baboon and now I'm just a monkey. He still wants me to go back to Africa, though!"

Penny shook her head.

"I'm so sorry, Aaron! You deserve battle pay!"

Aaron laughed..." It was fine, really, Penny. I did bribe him with some ice cream this afternoon though. I know he shouldn't have it with his diabetes, but it was only one scoop and seemed to break the ice a little. We finally agreed on one thing, all day!"

Penny cocked her head and asked, "And what was that?"

Aaron smiled and said, "Neither one of us ever wants to piss you off... that you have that Irish temper!"

Penny laughed and said, "Well, not sure I want to be remembered for my temper, but if it gives me leverage over you two, I'll take it!"

They chatted for a little while and Aaron asked about letting him sleep in his chair as well as a few other things that came up during the day.

He saw that she was starting to relax and asked her if she needed to change or if there was anything he could do for her before he left for the evening. Penny hesitated and then said if he didn't mind hanging out a few minutes more, she would go get changed. She also asked if he could open a bottle of wine for her.

Aaron nodded and said he'd be happy to. Penny smiled and went into the bedroom. When she emerged, she was wearing a pair of grey yoga pants and a V-neck t-shirt. Aaron was opening the bottle of wine and glanced over to see plop down at the kitchen table.

When she sat, he couldn't help noticing that she wasn't wearing a bra. It wasn't as though her breasts were large, but they certainly had a nice sway to them under the cotton of the shirt.

He put the open bottle of wine on the table in front of her and a wine glass. Penny thanked him and looked up and said, "Aren't you going to join me? Or was today so bad that you need to run?"

Aaron laughed and said, "Sorry, I didn't want to assume anything... sure, if you're up for company, I'll stay for a drink."

Penny looked at him with a stern expression and said in a deadpan, "Aaron, you're the only adult conversation I get when I'm out of work these days. Once you leave, it's just going to be me and my dad and I'm pretty sure, we're sick of one another after two years. You're welcome to stay as long as you like and drink as much as you want!"

Aaron laughed and said, "How can I turn down an offer like that?" He sat at the table with Penny, and they chatted and got to know one another -- pretty soon the bottle was gone.

He looked over at her as she closed her eyes, turned her head from side to side and began to massage her neck lightly.

He said, "You okay? Neck issues?"

Penny nodded and told him that she had some mild arthritis in her neck and the doctor had told her to make sure she moved it around to keep everything loose and breaking up.

She said, "Stress doesn't help and sitting at a desk looking at spreadsheets doesn't either. I normally go for massages once a week just to relieve some pressure, but I haven’t gotten there yet this week."

Aaron asked what she paid for a massage and Penny said that for 45 minutes, it was $60.00 plus usually a $20.00 tip.

Aaron whistled and said, "With tip, that's close to $100 an hour! Wow, I'm in the wrong business -- I knew I should have finished my Kinesiology degree program instead of a nursing degree! I could be sitting pretty right now!"

Penny looked up and said, "You were studying massage therapy? Really? How far did you get?"

Aaron told her he was only a few credits shy of his degree before he switched gears and went nursing. He told her he was accredited in Swedish and Sports massage, Eastern and Trigger Point Therapy.

Penny was still rubbing her own neck, but she brightened and said, "Wow, maybe you can teach me a few moves someday? This neck is going to be the death of me!"

Aaron stood and stepped behind Penny as she sat at the table.

"May I?" he asked touching her neck.

Penny dropped her hands and leaned forward a little, allowing Aaron to work his magic on her neck.

As soon as he started massaging her, Penny groaned. "Oh my God, that feels so good, Aaron. You have no idea!"

Aaron smiled and told her to relax. Penny leaned forward a little, allowing him to go lower. As she did, the front of her V-neck gapped open, and Aaron was treated to a view of two VERY hard nipples protruding from her breasts. He felt himself get hard and hoped she wouldn't lean back against him again.

Penny was moaning almost involuntarily as Aaron continued to massage her neck and shoulders. Her eyes were closed and her head swayed under his touch. He moved from her neck and shoulders to her upper back and ran a series of light touches between her "wings" and shoulder blades.

His long fingers traced down her spine from her neck to the top of her yoga pants, causing Penny to straighten her back. When she did, her head came up and fell back against his crotch lightly.

As the back of her head encountered his hard cock, Penny's eyes opened in confusion. She thought her head knocked against the hard wood of the chair and when she turned, she realized it was Aaron she butted up against.

At first, she was imagining it was his belt buckle but realized he didn't have a belt on and all of a sudden, the realization kicked in and she turned bright red. Almost as though she touched a hot stove, she bolted upright and almost flew out of the chair.

"Um, that felt wonderful, but I'm a little sore... thank you, Aaron." She said as she stood.

Aaron nodded -- he pretty much guessed why she abruptly ended the massage but didn't want to start trouble for himself or her, so he decided to say nothing. The mood was broken, and it would be best to call it a day.

"Understood, Penny" he said. "But anytime you need me to loosen you up a little, please let me know. You're pretty tight!"

Penny felt her face flush -- was Aaron's remark a sexual double entendre or was it just her dirty mind going into overdrive? She looked up at him and saw just the slightest glimpse of a little grin and the smallest wink. It wasn't enough to make her feel his comments were anything other than noble.

Like him, she decided the best course of action was to say nothing. She thanked him again for taking care of her father and hoped he would be back again tomorrow. Aaron laughed and said that nothing would keep him away.

She walked him to the door, and he turned to say something but changed his mind and gave her a little hug instead.

"Take care of yourself, Penny -- he needs you..." he offered.

Penny nodded and after Aaron left, she closed the door and pressed her back against it. Her pussy and breasts were on fire. This was going to be a problem, she thought to herself.

She busied herself, getting her dad to bed and then went upstairs to take a bath. Almost as an afterthought, she grabbed a fresh bottle of wine and carried it upstairs into the bathroom with her. As she stripped off t-shirt, yoga pants and underwear, she noticed how damp the panties were as she dropped them in the hamper.

She looked at her naked body in the 3/4 length mirror with a critical eye, resting her hands under her breasts and lifting them slightly. Not much there, but not much sag either, she thought. Then she turned sideways and slid two fingers under her ass cheeks and slid them upward as well. She wasn't as tight as she was in her 20's, but she certainly looked better than most of the women her own age or even in their 30's.

She turned forward and looked down between her legs. While she was trimmed, her public hair was longer than she used to let grow it. Because she had basically become a celibate after her husband passed, there was no one to impress or keep it cleaned up for. Still, it looked a little messy even though no one else saw it. She frowned and while she knew she was being silly; she felt the need to "clean it up".

After the tub was hot and full, she poured herself a glass of wine and placed it on the wide rim of the claw foot tub and eased in to soak. The heat of the water made her feel amazing and as she sipped the wine, she felt more and more relaxed... She took a few minutes to shave her legs and then trim between her legs... she went shorter and shorter and then made the decision to go "all in" and shaved herself bare... As the warm water tickled her freshly clean mound, she loved the feeling.

The wine went down easily and as she finished the glass, she felt her right hand down into the water. Her hand started at her knee, and she slowly and very deliberately slid her hand up her thigh lightly. As she reached fairly high on her upper thigh, she curled her fingers inward toward her shaved pussy... She very lightly touched herself there, barely touching the freshly bare skin with the tip of her fingers, her fingernails dragging lightly across the sensitive mound.

Just as slowly, Penny lightly touched the hooded lip of her clit gently... when she did, she jumped at the feeling of the sensitive skin there... Touching herself slowly was excruciatingly pleasant... She closed her eyes and explored her pussy... touching here and there... letting the water lap against her lips... moving her fingers slowly in and out of her body... feeling the slickness building inside her. She opened her eyes and looked down through the clearness of the water at herself and saw a slight ooze of her juices start to emanate like oil between her legs... She watched fascinated, seeing her pussy pulse at the touch of her own fingers.

When Michael first died and Penny satisfied herself with her vibrator, she would think about him as she masturbated, his mouth on her pussy, sucking her breasts or burying himself deep inside her either doggy style or with her legs wrapped around his waist. He was an amazing lover, and they spent many nights taking care of each other, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

While the memory of him occasionally faded as time went on, he would always come back vibrantly and fully when she played with herself -- so present as if he were still there for her.

So, as she touched herself there in the tub, her thoughts went to him... His smile, his passion, his skillful way of making her orgasm. Penny sunk deeper into the water, her head against the rim of the tub. She began to slide a finger in and out of herself, faster and deeper... willing herself into orgasm. She added a second finger, then a third and was soon thrusting and thrashing in the water with furious abandon.

As her breathing became faster and reached a fever pitch, all of a sudden, a different image emerged in her mind. It was Aaron! She saw his face, his smile sitting across from her at the table as they drank wine, his touch as he massaged her neck and back, her imagination of his size and endurance when she accidentally touched his penis.

The vision changed again... It was Aaron on top of her, her legs splayed apart, high up on the bigger man's shoulders and him slamming himself into her again and again, not with love, but a passion of raw and animalistic sex.

Penny felt her orgasm start to peak and she cried out, her fingers deep inside her as the water churned. And then she came... HARD -- her body pushed against the porcelain tub and the empty wine glass crashed off the rim onto the tiled floor of the bathroom, shattering in a million pieces.

She gasped as she heard the glass careen across the floor, but her body was still convulsing from the aftershock of the best orgasm she had in years. Better than anything her B. O. B. could have provided. Her breathing was still jagged and rough as she squeezed her legs together in the water. The clean water was now a murky film of her juices, and she felt like she actually gushed thinking about Aaron.

As she came back down, Penny sighed. The release was intense but now she had a mess to clean up. She reached for the towel from her position in the tub and waved it against the tile floor, swishing away the glass in order to make a path for herself to get out of the tub.

She eyed the terrain and then slowly climbed out of the tub onto the floor, making sure she didn't step on any shards of glass.

"Stupid, Stupid, STUPID!" she cursed quietly to herself. Her guilt started to sink in, and she chided herself for thinking about someone other than Michael for the first time since he passed away. Once out of the warm water, her body started to shiver, and she grabbed another towel and wrapped it around herself. She padded out to get a dustpan and broom. She cleaned up what she could find and then took the vacuum in and went over the whole area again to make sure there was no glass lingering.

After everything was cleaned up, Penny took some Tylenol and went to bed. The next morning, she woke up later than normal and was rushing to get out the door when Aaron showed up. As soon as she opened the door to head out, she walked right into him, coming the other way. She looked up at the mountain of the man and turned bright red.

"Sorry", she mumbled, "Running a little late for work..."

Aaron smiled and said, "Don't let me stand in the way of progress, Penny!"

Penny gave him a weak smile and then looked at what he was wearing. On the previous day, Aaron was dressed in a button-down shirt and pants with a sports jacket, but today, he was wearing hospital scrubs. She glanced down for a quick second only to see that the bulge in his scrubs was even more prominent than yesterday. She thought about the fantasy running through her head the night before and shivered a little.

"Why the scrubs, Aaron?" she asked innocently.

Aaron grinned and said that the first day was to impress his new boss, but that this is what he normally wore on the job and hoped that was okay with her. He also said that he intended to get Jimmy up and exercise a little bit -- that he needed to get some exercise, especially with his diabetes.

Penny nodded. "I understand and of course, if this is what you wear normally, it's fine with me. I want you to be comfortable and ready for action!"

As soon as she said it, she regretted the way it came out -- she felt like she needed to explain herself. So, she said, "Um, that didn't really come out right... I just meant if it's easier to do your job wearing scrubs, they look good to me!"

And then she turned bright red and said, "Um, I meant to say... oh, God, Aaron... forget it -- you know what I meant to say... I've got to go... I'll check in with you later... have a good day!!"

Aaron grinned and held the door open for her. As she was walking down the path, he yelled out, "Looking pretty damn good yourself for a white girl! Haha..."

Penny glanced back, horrified and saw him grinning and waving at her... She wanted to say something but realized he was just goofing on her, so she laughed and got in her car. But all of a sudden, everything seemed so hot.

When she got to the office, Penny buried herself in her work. The tax season was still in effect and there were several clients that needed assistance. But she kept coming back to what Aaron said to her and how embarrassed she was on one hand and so turned on in the other. She was still mulling over the conversation in her mind when her assistant Mindy walked in.

"Hey, boss," Mindy said casually, "Penny for Penny's thoughts? You seem a little out there today... everything okay? Jimmy okay?"

Penny looked up at the young girl and smiled.

"Everything is fine, Mindy... I'm a little fuzzy today - too much wine last night, I guess."

Mindy laughed -- "Been there, done that... But that sounds more like me than you, boss... Jimmy okay? Did the agency set up a new nurse for him since he tackled Iris?"

Penny remembered that she had told Mindy about what happened with Iris and that they were sending a new nurse out yesterday but never filled her on with the particulars.

She told her about Aaron and the fit that Jimmy had thrown when Aaron came to the door and everything that had transpired during the day, leaving out sharing a bottle of wine with him.

Mindy laughed. "Jimmy's new nurse is black. Oh, boy... someone messed up at the agency -- Jimmy's the most racist guy I ever met in my life... bet that went over like a lead sinker... is he at least a hottie?"

Penny laughed and confirmed that yes, Aaron was young and handsome but also completely competent and that it would be a good experience for Jimmy to have someone new to work with him. She remembered that Mindy occasionally dated black guys and had a thought.

"Can I ask you a personal question, Mindy?" she started.

Mindy smiled and said, "I already know where this is going, so I'll save you the trouble... Yes, I've dated my share of black guys, no, they're not all hung like horses, as a matter of fact, I had to look for it on one guy -- he was hung like a tic tac! And yeah, part of the appeal has nothing to do with size... more about attitude!"

Penny started to protest and said that wasn't going to be her question, but Mindy waved her off.

"Pish, posh, Penny... How long have I worked for you? Twelve years? Don't bother blowing smoke up my ass -- I think a lot of white women are curious about black guys... all I can tell you if that if you're thinking you want to hook up with Jimmy's nurse, you better make sure Jimmy NEVER finds out about it, expect a lot of pushback from both white men and black women if you go on a date with him and expect either the best or worst sex of your life!"

Penny felt her face burning... She tried to double down on her original assertion that she wasn't going to ask that and Mindy called her out.

"So, what personal question did you want to ask me then?" she said grinning.

Penny started to speak but found herself at a loss for words. She opened her mouth twice, but nothing came out.

Mindy laughed and started walking out the door but turned and said, "The jury rests... but listen, boss. You've waited long enough to date. If you like this guy, have some fun. You deserve to get laid like the rest of us and if you like him and he makes you laugh, enjoy his company. This isn't the 1950's anymore. People date whoever they want and damn the color, creed or political viewpoints. I just hope he knows what a great lady you are...!"

And with that, she spun on her heels and walked out.

Penny shook her head and made a mental note -- "Get a new assistant ????"

As the day went on, Penny thought more and more about what Mindy said and decided to text Aaron to check on her dad.

She texted, "Good afternoon, Aaron... just checking in. How's our favorite patient?"

Aaron answered almost immediately -- "Hey, boss lady... he's fine -- indulging his regular afternoon activity. A little nap in front of the television. You caught me scrolling on my phone... what's up?"

Penny smiled at his title for her.

"Nothing in particular..." she said, "You guys were on my mind, and I wanted to make sure he didn't kill you off and bury you in the backyard -- I know how 'kind' he can be to you... ha-ha"

Aaron sent a devil horn emoji and told her that he had Jimmy exercising a little that morning -- that he needed to stretch more and get his muscles working a little. Admitted that he wasn't the most cooperative patient he ever had, but had gone through the paces with him begrudgingly...

Penny sent back a laughing face and said he was an angel and brave for trying. Aaron texted back that he was only doing his job -- He wanted Jimmy to become more self-sufficient and despite his age, his body was betraying him. He needed to get more mobile so he could feel better.

They went back and forth for a few more texts exchanges about Jimmy and once they exhausted that topic, Penny said she'd stop bothering him.

She was surprised when he texted back. "You're never bothering me, Penny. You're actually the highlight of my day... I'm glad you decided to give me a chance to work with your dad. I thought it was a little touch and go there in the beginning."

Penny felt a twinge between her legs at the "touch" comment and chided herself silently for her thoughts.

She considered how to reply and started texting a few times but kept erasing her response. Finally, she decided to send a thumbs up to his comment and accidentally sent a kiss instead.

"OH MY GOD!" she stared in horror at the floating affirmation and felt like she was hyperventilating. She quickly typed. "Have a good day!" and shut her phone off.

A second later, her phone dinged.

She looked down and saw a heart response from him.

"NO, NO, NO!" she thought to herself, her head spinning.

Despite her best efforts to play it cool, she was making a mess of this -- this man was her employee, the nurse to her father... not a date! In desperation, she threw the phone in a drawer and went into the bathroom. Looking at her image in the mirror, she noticed how red and wild she looked. This was totally out of character for her. Penny was always the one in control and she felt totally out of her element with this young black man.

She reached in and grabbed the phone to explain it was a mistake and sighed... But she couldn't figure out how to say something that didn't sound like she was covering for herself. She typed and erased a couple of times.

She typed, "Sorry about the kiss emoji -- my phone has been acting up lately -- might be time for a new one!"

She paused and held her breath. Saw his imessage bubbles typing that he was responding...

He replied, "Uh huh... LOL" and sent a face with the tongue sticking out.

She tossed the phone back in the drawer, disgusted with herself.

She washed her face and pushed her hair back into something more presentable before heading back into her private office. For the rest of the afternoon, she kept herself busy with work and stayed off her phone. When she was ready to leave for the day, she opened the drawer and was almost afraid to see if Aaron had texted her anymore. She was both happy and a little sad to see there was nothing else.

She sighed and packed up her laptop and lunch and headed home. When she got there, she was surprised to see Aaron and Jimmy outside. Jimmy was out of his chair sitting on one of the porch chairs and they were listening to a baseball game on Aaron's phone. They were arguing about something and didn't hear her pull up at first.

She smiled at them and said, "Well, men, this is different... what's going on?"

Jimmy scowled at his daughter and then jerked his thumb in Aaron's direction. He said, "This idiot thinks the Mets are better than the Red Socks..."

Aaron acted as though he was mad and turned to Penny and gave her a little wink, "And this dummy thinks the Mets are better... Can you believe he thinks Tom Seaver is better than David Ortiz??"

Jimmy cackled and then broke into a hysterical laugh... which surprised Penny. She looked wide eyed at her father and saw a side to him she hadn't seen in a long time... He was actually having a good day. He was engaged and conversational and had a brightness to him she hadn't noticed in forever.

She looked over at Aaron, who was grinning at her. Whatever he was doing was working with her dad. She smiled in awe and kidded them saying she didn't like either player!

In truth, she knew nothing about baseball, but was so happy that her dad was outside enjoying the air and even though there was light confrontation between Aaron and him, it came across more like playful banter. The men traded barbs back and forth a couple more rounds and Penny saw a glint in her father's eye that she recognized.

He liked Aaron! He would never admit it, but he liked him! Penny looked at Aaron and saw him as some sort of miracle worker. Even in all the time that Iris worked with Jimmy, she never saw him engaged to the level that Aaron was able to reach him. She admired Aaron's fortitude and desire to get the job done, despite Jimmy's hatred for people of color. Somehow, Aaron saw past all that and was the bigger man for it.

She said, "Okay, men -- I'm going to go get changed from work -- Aaron, you're welcome to stay for dinner, but please bring Dad in first."

Jimmy howled at the invitation for dinner and went sour. "Pen, you're already paying this kid to babysit me, which I don't need and now you want to feed him too? No wonder so many of them are on welfare!"

Penny cocked her head at her father and raised her finger. "Not another word, Dad! I swear to you; I will put a gag on your mouth if you continue... Aaron is taking excellent care of you, and I will invite whomever I want for dinner!"

Jimmy waved her off in dismissal and turned his head away.

"Aaron, please pardon my father's rudeness... would you like to stay for dinner?"

Aaron grinned at her.

"No, I don't think so, Penny -- I've got dinner plans with a friend, but I very much appreciate the offer. Can I take a rain check?"

Upon hearing his response, Penny immediately wondered who his "friend" was and got a little green over something she had no reason to be jealous about.

She told him anytime he wanted, he was welcome to stay for dinner and then stuck her tongue out at her father, which made Aaron laugh. She turned and went up to the bedroom to change. When she came back down, Jimmy was asleep in his chair in front of the television and Aaron was gone. She sighed and planned another evening alone.

Several weeks passed and Penny saw an increased improvement in both Jimmy's behavior as well as his overall health. He stopped making derogatory comments about Aaron and they seemed to have a mutual respect for one another. For her part, she and Aaron's relationship became friendlier, and he started to text her more and more at work to give her updates on what he and Jimmy were doing that day and basic status about her dad. Sometimes the texts would be teasing in nature and somewhere along the way, they evolved from a boss/employee relationship into something more casual.

Mindy would occasionally ask how the hottie black nurse was doing and if Penny was riding the black lightning yet? Penny would burst out laughing and told her NO and that it wasn't any of her business even if they were! Mindy would just shake her head and kid her about missed opportunities. Her words weren't lost on Penny -- she found herself thinking more and more about Aaron and looked forward to his daily texts -- and her B. O. B. was back in action -- often thinking about him and what he was wearing that day or the way he smiled at her.

Penny had a dream one night of Aaron taking her -- rough, crude, very oral sex... not particularly forcing himself on her, but almost -- he was dominating her, his mouth on her, his black cock deep inside her... The dream was so vivid that she woke herself up crying out and discovered that she had somehow orgasmed in her sleep leaving a soaked sheet between her legs.

Aaron must have noticed it too. He found himself hanging out and waiting for Penny to get changed and come back down before heading home. They shared the occasional glass of wine. At some point, she had asked Aaron what kind of beer he liked and soon, he discovered a six pack of that beer would find its way into the refrigerator. He was respectful enough not to stay for dinner unless Jimmy was sound asleep in the other room.

Their body language was evolving as well... When they talked, one or the other would touch the arm or leg of the other person. One time, Aaron mentioned that Penny had something on her eyelash and leaned in to dislodge the speck in her eye, leaning so close that their lips were almost touching. Penny used B. O. B. twice that night after he left.

Somewhere around the middle of the fourth month, Penny got a call on her cell at work from Aaron asking her if Jimmy had eaten anything different the night before -- that he was sick and looked pale to him. Penny felt her heart race and said nothing had changed and did he think Jimmy should go to the doctor?

Aaron said he thought it would be a good idea to have him assessed and asked if she didn't mind if he took Jimmy to the emergency room at the nearby community hospital. Penny panicked.

"Is it really that serious? What are you thinking?" she cried out.

Aaron's voice was measured and professional. He said, "Penny, in my professional opinion, I think Jimmy should be examined. He's pale and his breathing is shallow... I think he might be a little anemic. Probably nothing to worry about but I'd feel better having someone smarter than me checking him out."

Penny listened to Aaron's recommendation and said that she'd be home shortly. When she got there, Aaron and Jimmy were dressed and standing outside waiting for her. She helped Aaron load her dad into the car and they made the short drive to the hospital. After some discussion with the doctors there, they agreed that Jimmy was anemic and recommended that he be admitted for fluids and possibly a red blood cell IV. They thought he might be in for only a day or two.

Once he was safely in his hospital room and under the care of the healthcare professionals, Aaron put his arm around Penny and told her he'd drive her home. She looked both mentally and physically exhausted and she just nodded numbly. She handed him her keys, and he tucked her into the passenger side of her car, and they drove home in silence.

When they got to the house, Penny thanked him and said that she would pay him for staying late -- asked if he was hungry. Aaron told her to go upstairs and take a shower -- that he would prepare something for dinner.

When she came downstairs, she found that he had set the table, poured two glasses of red wine and even picked a couple of flowers from the garden and put them in a vase for the table. He was standing at the stove stirring pasta and some sort of meat sauce that smelled delicious.

She walked up behind him and pressed herself against his back. She leaned around him and looked down into the pot.

"That smells delicious! I didn't know you could cook!" she said.

Aaron laughed and said Pasta with meat sauce wasn't really cooking, but he knew they were both hungry. Penny squeezed his arm lightly and agreed. She thanked him again for insisting that Jimmy get checked out and for all his help at the hospital.

She sat at the kitchen table while he finished up and found herself staring at his ass a little while he was facing the other way. She must have been a little absent minded about the glaring because all of a sudden, he turned and grinned at her.

"See something you like?" he asked.

Penny's face turned bright red, knowing she was busted. She started to respond but he stopped her before she had a chance to speak and said, "No worries... I check out your ass all the time!"

For her part, Penny acted as if she was indignant, and that Aaron was being rude.

She said, "Kind sir, didn't anyone ever tell you it was impolite to stare at a lady's derriere?" Aaron reminded her that she had been staring at his and that checking out her pale little body was the highlight of his day.

He said, "You should know that of all the women I know, on a scale of 1-10, most are 3-5, there are two sevens, one 8 and only one ten. You, my friend, are that 10!"

Penny felt her face burn and her heart was pounding... She tried to act bravado and modest about his comments and said, "C'mon -- Aaron! I'll admit that I try to take care of myself, but you're what, 28, 30? I'm sure the women your age are in amazing shape compared to an old lady like me!"

Aaron laughed and said that he never lies and that his scale was based on several factors...

He said, "Taking age out of the equation, you've got to look at the whole package... lithe pale bodies, breast size, roundness of the butt, cute face, nice hair, intelligence, smile and overall personality and that you're indeed a TEN, maybe a 10+!"

Penny found herself grinning -- she loved hearing everything he was saying and whether or not he was being totally honest or just flirting with her, she didn't care. She felt needed and desired for the first time by a man that wasn't her husband and the thought of it made her giddy.

Aaron didn't say anything more but finished the dinner and brought it to the table.

The meal was quiet with minimal discussion between them, but it was clear to both of them that they were deep in thought about what was said before dinner.

Aaron had been with white women plenty of times and even a few white wives before, but never with someone he worked for or someone he felt a fondness outside of sex toward. He reran the conversation they had earlier in his mind, the conversations they had over the many months they had known one another. Yes, they were flirting but was that him flirting or her? He couldn't remember.

He finally decided that it was mutual -- maybe him a little more than her but she certainly reciprocated. And tonight's discussion was further than they had ever taken it before... It was risky, after all -- she was his boss, but she wasn't married, and they certainly enjoyed one another's company. He decided to take a chance and see where she stood.

He said, "So Penny... if you're a ten plus in my book, what do you think of me? Hopefully at least an 8 or 9 -- I mean, I'm a hell of a spaghetti maker and you obviously like my ass... ha-ha... do I rate?"

Penny smiled and told him he was the total package for sure.

Aaron laughed and said, "What are you looking at my package for?"

Penny doubled down on the back-and-forth barbs, gave him a grin and said, "Well, you know... us white girls get curious about the rumors they hear... they wonder if they're true and all."

It was Aaron's turn to give Penny a grin, so he looked at her sideways and said, "What have you heard? Wondering if my package meets the standard of the rumors?

Penny thought her head was going to come off in a swivel. She felt her face burning and crossed her arms. The conversation was going off the rails and she wasn't sure WHAT to say.

So, she just shrugged and said, "Maybe?"

Aaron laughed and said, "Well, at the risk of getting fired here, I will admit to you that you have consumed my thoughts more often than I'd like to admit... and yes, I wondered what was under that t-shirt and yoga pants or those amazing business outfits you wear. And as long as we're admitting stuff, I can honestly tell you that I've got this mental image of what you look like naked often enough to walk around Jimmy with a hard-on that could hammer nails after you leave."

It was Penny's turn to be amused...

She looked up in Aaron's eyes and said softly, "And this mental image of me... what did you come up with?"

Aaron gulped.

"Well, I imagine your breasts are pretty incredible -- guessing a B or C cup with light brown areolas and short nipples that are also light. And despite your age, I'm guessing not much sag at all? And guessing that you're either trimmed very short like a landing strip or even shaved?"

Penny just kept grinning at him.

Aaron said, "You're not going to tell me, are you?"

Penny laughed and said "Nope!"

So, Aaron changed tactics and said, "I show you mine if you show me yours?" and acted like he was going to pull his scrub top off.

Penny's eyes went wide, and her mouth dropped open.

She gasped and said, "Wait, Aaron... what are you doing?"

Aaron grinned and said, "Showing you the total package... isn't that what you wanted to see? Check on those rumors?"

Penny's hand went to her mouth, and she suppressed a grin. With a twinkle in her eye, she said, "I didn't say anything about showing you my goods! Whatever you do next is all on you, buddy!"

Aaron laughed and said, "Fair enough!"

And with that, he stripped his scrub top off, revealing his dark, very fit torso -- His chest was hairless, not like some of the pictures Penny had seen on the internet, with black men with those little dots on their chest or curly chest hair. His stomach was pretty flat -- while he didn't have a six pack, it was lean and defined, culminating into the v shape you normally see on male underwear models that disappeared into the bottom of the scrubs.

She tried to hide her arousal, but felt like her nipples were going to poke through her chest any second. The V-neck "boyfriend" sweater she was wearing suddenly felt too tight to accommodate her pale breasts underneath and she could swear she felt her pussy dampen through the skinny jeans below.

"Want me to keep going?" he asked. "I'm not shy... I'd love to know if I meet your approval!"

Penny was mesmerized -- As a policeman, Michael was always fit with a chest she loved to nuzzle against, but he was pale with curly chest hair with just a touch of grey blending in. Aaron's body was on a whole different plane. It wasn't that he was in so much better shape, but he was taller and so much darker than what she was used to seeing, that it all seemed foreign to her. Penny thought she was having an out of body experience -- that she was watching a movie or something.

Aaron was staring down at the little woman, waiting for some response... Hearing none, he sighed and said, "Okay then... guess it's going to take more to impress you, boss!"

And then he grinned and turned his back to her. Penny watched as he kicked off his sneakers and then hooked his thumbs onto the elastic sides of his scrubs and slid them down off his rear end. She watched as they dropped to his ankles and he kicked them off into the corner of the kitchen, leaving him in just a pair of off-white boxer briefs.

As she guessed, his ass was incredible. Small and tight, with strong muscular thighs stretching down to well defined legs and calves. It was easy to see he spent a lot of time running or biking or something.

Looking over his shoulder at her, he smiled -- waiting for her to say something -- ANYTHING...

And yet, Penny's expression and position hadn't changed... She was still staring at him, hand to mouth, eyes wide, watching.

Aaron acted all indignant and turned to face her, hands on hips and when he turned, she saw his cock, thick and heavy, straining against the thin material of his briefs. The material of the boxer briefs did little to conceal the prize within, and she unconsciously salivated imaging what was underneath.

Aaron watched her eyes -- waiting for some reaction... He reached down and grabbed his shaft through his briefs, almost in an attempt to stimulate a conversation, but Penny was sort of in zombie mode, staring. He waved his hand in front of her face and finally she looked up at him and responded.

"Jesus, Aaron..." she said quietly.

Aaron had experienced this exact comment twice before... One wound up with the woman being disgusted and storming off and the other turned into one of the hottest sexual romps in the hay he had ever experienced. He had no idea which way Penny was leaning and suddenly regretted the little strip tease in front of his employer.

In the end, he decided to double down.

He reached over and stroked the side of Penny's face lightly and she responded like a cat would, pressing her head against the side of his hand slowly and closing her eyes almost mewing at him. He tucked his palm under her chin and lifted her face up. She opened her eyes and looked intently at him but pursed her lips and said nothing.

Aaron said, "Um, not sure what you're thinking, Penny -- did I make a mistake here?"

Penny's eyes narrowed and she shook her head..." No, quite the opposite, Aaron -- You're in amazing shape -- any woman would love to be with you, I'm sure."

Aaron gave her a small smile and said softly, "Any woman? Can we narrow that down a little? Perhaps the opinion of the women in this room to start?"

Penny sucked in her breath. She looked Aaron in the eye and then reached down to the edge of her sweater and pulled it up and off her, leaving her in a small demi bra and jeans.

It was Aaron's turn to stare in awe. Her pale Irish skin contrasting against the simple black bra she was wearing -- it was a slight push up, so the top of her breasts swelled like little pillows, and it was cut low enough for Aaron to see the arc of her areola protrude from the cup material. As he expected, it was a light pink in color.

The bra was thin enough for him to see that her nipples sat high on her breasts and were hard as pebbles. He felt his cock swell and strain the material of his underwear. He reached down and adjusted himself and when he did, the tip of his cock protruded up above the waistband of his boxer briefs lightly.

Penny glanced down and was shocked to see the tip of his cock was dark, cut, a darkish purple in color and from her vantage point, looked thick. She immediately thought of Carla's dildo and blushed.

Aaron looked down at her... put his hands on her shoulders...

He said softly, "May I?" and ran his thumb over the globe top of her breast gently.

Penny started to shake a little... Or was it vibrate? She couldn't tell -- her emotions were all over the map. She was scared and turned on at the same time... She couldn't catch her breath and felt her heart pounding.

She thought to herself, "Jesus, women get heart attacks too..."

Aaron looked down at the little woman and smiled lightly before speaking...

"This body... God... Penny..."

Penny blushed even harder -- she was in uncharted waters here... She stared into his eyes, then his chest... and then she lowered her eyes down to his waist and the BULGE...

Aaron was still lightly caressing the exposed part of her breast... not touching the nipple, but that actually made matters even worse... She felt her pussy ache at what she perceived as a tease... She felt her knees start to buckle and, to her own surprise, felt her body slowly dropping down to her knees in front of him.

The hardwood floor was rough against her jeans and knees, but her mind was somewhere else... Slowly, she reached for the waistband of Aaron's underwear and peeled it downward. Because his cock was partially revealed and was standing upright with the head peeking out the top of the elastic, it flopped downward toward her face, and she was surprised when it slid down her forehead to her nose to her lips and chin. He was longer and thicker than Michael... Much longer and thicker than her B. O. B. and she was instantly taken with the dark purple hue of his black cock.

Aaron waited patiently for her to finish her examination -- his hands on his hips, looking down at the beauty below him.

With his cock resting on her chin, Penny looked up briefly into Aaron's eyes and instantly became shy and embarrassed. She steeled her attention to the bulbous black cock in front of her and grabbed it by the shaft about midway... She noticed instantly she could have easily had two hands on his length with room to spare.

It felt heavy in her hand, so she doubled up with the other hand and began to slide her hands in unison up and down his shaft... Whatever softness there was instantly replaced with a hard blood-filled girth that swelled under her palms. The mushroom head was still exposed, so she lowered her mouth onto the tip... allowing her tongue to penetrate her lips as she used the tip of her tongue to dab at the slit in his cock.

Aaron moaned as her tongue worked its magic... Penny remembered that Michael used to love that as well and while the movement was the same, the size difference was significant. Aaron wasn't the thickness of Carla's dildo, but he was easily twice the thickness of Michael's.

Penny continued to stroke his cock as she sucked him and eventually, lowered one hand off his shaft to be able to run her tongue and teeth along the bottom of his shaft. With her free hand, she cupped and massaged his balls, rolling them in her palm.

Aaron groaned at her expertise and put his hand on the back of her head, encouraging her to move her tongue off the underside of his cock back to sucking him. Penny smiled lightly and then took him back into her mouth, laying the shaft onto her tongue... Before closing her mouth to encase him, she let it slide back and forth over the flat surface of her tastebuds...

When she did close her mouth over his cock, she sucked in, feeling him slide deeper down to the back of his throat.

"FUCCCCKKK..." He cried out.

Penny smiled to herself and thought, "well, I still have it, I guess...", remembering how much her late husband enjoyed her blowjobs. She swirled her tongue as much as she could muster around his thick cock and tried to draw him in as deeply as she could without gagging. The size difference made it harder than she anticipated, and she felt herself gasping for breath and her eyes started to water.

Then she tasted it... the salty precum oozing from his tip... she wanted it -- she craved what was coming. She reached behind him and cupped his black ass cheeks and then closed her mouth tightly around his shaft and sucked harder. The combination of proximity and vacuum around his cock was enough. She heard Aaron growl and felt his fluids coming faster now, causing her to either choke or swallow. Instinctively, she started swallowing, feeling the hot "jizz" flow down her throat, coating it.

Aaron threw his head back and came... Hard, fast, thick. He grabbed Penny's hair and tugged roughly, pulling her face deeper into his crotch. Penny was trapped against him... instinctively, she put her hands on his thighs to both settle herself and to avoid being smothered by him... She swallowed fast, over and over again as his thick cum filled her mouth... it was close but not enough to handle the entire onslaught and she wound up coughing, spittle and cum running down her throat as she pulled herself off him.

She glanced down at his cock, saturated and dark with her spit and his cum and was shocked to notice that his hardness had not dissipated much at all. She mused to herself, "the secret of youth". She began to lick the excess off his cock and balls and was busy at the task when she felt him reach down and pull her up by the elbow to a standing position.

She looked up at the mountain of a man and watched as he squatted down and scooped her up into his arms, one arm around her body and under an armpit and the other under her ass... She felt like a child in his arms, dizzy with the sudden shift in position.

"Where's your bedroom?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

Penny motioned him in the direction and laid her head against his chest as he carried her in and laid her down onto the top of the comforter on her marital bed. She watched him, completely naked, with his soaked cock swinging back and forth as he moved from the side of the bed to the bottom. He leaned over and unhooked her jeans and pulled them off her body. Her thong came with it, leaving her naked except for the bra.

"Take off your bra..." he ordered, causing her to shiver. She nodded and reached behind her and unhooked it. As soon as she did, she covered her breasts with her hand -- despite what had just happened, she felt shy at exposing herself to the young man and watched him smile.

"Take your hands away from your breasts... I want to see them..." he said softly.

Penny shivered at the authority in his voice. Slowly, she unshielded herself, never taking her eyes off him. Now completely naked, she felt cold despite the heat they were generating between them...

Penny watched as Aaron climbed up on the bed with her... on all fours, hands between her legs, he loomed over her. She didn't know what to expect as he brought his face down to hers, but he surprised her with a gentle kiss on the lips... she tried to remember the last time anyone had kissed her like that... the last time anyone had kissed her at all. His lips were full and inviting and she felt herself reach up and wrap her hands around his neck and head and pulled him in -- their tongues intertwined and dancing in each other's mouth.

She felt herself panting with the passion of the moment. She loved to kiss and missed it. It was the ultimate act of intimacy. She felt her nipples swell from the kiss and the dampness between her inner thighs was going to become a river if it continued.

Aaron groaned..."Fuck, woman... your kiss... it's intoxicating..."

Penny beamed at the compliment and asked, "Better than my mouth on your penis?"

Aaron laughed and told her they were both incredible and said that he was officially under her spell...

Penny smiled and said, "If you're under my spell, maybe I should tell you what I want next..."

He smiled and said that he knew exactly what she needed and was going to take VERY good care of her.

He asked her where her toy chest was... Penny frowned and said, "toy chest?"

Aaron grinned and said, "Don't play coy, Penny... where's your collection of dildos, vibrators and lube? Maybe a nipple clamp or two?"

Penny gasped and tried to cover by telling him she had no idea what he was talking about.

But Aaron just laughed and said, "You've been a widow for a few years now... you've got toys... give em up!"

Penny blushed and motioned with her head to look in the nightstand next to the bed. Aaron opened the drawer and pulled out her slender white vibrator and shook his head.

"This is it? Where's the rest?" he demanded...

Penny assured him that was everything and Aaron pursed his lips and said, "Baby, we're going to need to take it slow... I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you..."

Hearing his words, Penny mused to herself wickedly and thought, "God I hope so..."

Aaron turned on the vibrator and ran it lightly over her nipples - barely touching them but just enough to make Penny squeal... so he continued to tease her with it and slid it down over her stomach, to the narrow hip bone and then down between her thighs. Once he reached her honeypot, he moved it lightly over her clit...

"Oh, oh!" she cried out... reaching for his hand to pull it away from her. But Aaron was strong and held it firmly in place... he turned up the vibration slightly and slid the little device up inside her. Penny arched her back and closed her eyes. She was already super sensitive from his earlier flirting and knew the orgasm was going to come quickly... Her breathing became faster, and Aaron started to move the toy in and out of her to match the speed of her breath.

But just as she was about to succumb and go over the top with her orgasm, he turned it off and pulled it out of her, causing her to gasp and cry foul.

"Whaaattt???" she cried..."God, Aaron, you're so mean!"

Aaron chuckled but didn't reply. He lowered his mouth onto her breast, teeth on the nipples and tugged roughly. The pain/pleasure of his teasing only enhanced her desire to cum and she tried to come up off the bed to bury her breast deeper in his mouth. Aaron responded by sucking on her pale globe, feeling her nipple on the roof of his mouth...

"Fuck, that feels amazing!" Penny cried out, her arms around his neck and head, drawing him closer... She felt his shaft resting on her stomach as he put his weight on her. It had been so long since she felt Michael take her this way and was immediately conscious of the size difference between her husband and this young man.

Aaron moved to the other breast and began to move his hips up and down so that his black cock was sawing through her pussy lips below...

Penny wanted him, NEEDED him inside her. Her passion was so intense that she wanted to forgo his mouth on her sex... she needed that amazing cock inside her NOW.

She opened her legs as widely as she could under him and grabbed his ass.

"Fuck me... Aaron... give it to me... I want you inside me!" she cried.

Aaron looked down at her pale body and then into her eyes...

"Tell me what you want... Penny... I want to hear you say it... Tell me how you want it..."

Penny looked up at him and said, "Take me Aaron. Plunge that black cock deep inside me... take me hard. I want you to own me, breed me, fuck me until I can't walk straight... impale me and fill me up... make me yours..."

As the words were coming out of her mouth, her subconscious mind didn't recognize her own voice... This wasn't love, this wasn't even sex... this was something else, something primal, something she didn't recognize. There was no shame in it, it was a desire that was rooted in some animal need deep inside her.

Aaron took his weight off her slightly, allowing Penny to adjust beneath him, spreading her legs as widely as she could, bending her knees a little... She looked up at him with wild eyes...

Aaron reached down and grabbed his cock by the shaft and ran the mushroom tip up and down the slick folds of her dripping mound... a thick white foam was oozing out of her - she was ready for him...

Looking in her eyes, she pushed the bulbous head inside her - past the crown and a quarter of the way down the shaft. Penny was anticipating his length but not his girth and suddenly regretted her words. She tried to shimmy back away from his onslaught but was trapped... He was going to bury his cock into her, like it or not...

Aaron saw the fear in her eyes and was about to take pity on her when he felt her pussy squeeze what was inside her... Despite her words, her body wanted him - and she was ready for him. He growled and slammed forward, burying his cock deep inside her.

Penny screamed, arms flailing as she felt him deep inside her. She started to sob and again, her body defied her. Her tight little cunt was milking him, trying to get him to cum, to bathe her womb with his potent sperm. He felt his balls tighten and something primeval took over.

He started to rock his hips back and forth, slamming into her again and again, rocking the entire bed, his balls slapping against her ass as he went... Penny's eyes rolled back in her head, and she couldn't catch her breath. But still her body controlled the actions.

Her hands went to his ass, and she tried to pull him DEEPER.

She started murmuring to herself, "So good, so, so good... FUCK!"

For his part, Aaron felt himself losing control of the situation. Penny's tiny body was running the show, and he felt himself stiffen. He reached out and grabbed her throat and squeezed menacingly, making her eyes water. And then he started to cum and released his hold on her.

Penny felt the heat of his cum before she felt it entering her - it was hot - almost to the point of scalding her inside. But then the first blast of cum powered inside her and it felt like a fire hose - a second blast, a third... she felt as though he was trying to drill through her womb, up into her stomach.

She came when he did... it was inevitable... there was no way it wouldn't happen. There was too much intensity - too powerful a blast... her legs shook, and she came HARD. As soon as she started to cum, she wrapped her legs around his waist involuntarily, ensure none of his potent sperm would leak out. It wasn't anything she had thought to do beforehand and nothing she had ever done before... but her body told her what to do...

Aaron yelled out as he came... she screamed. He rocked her onto her side and then they both lay there breathing heavily. No words spoken... no words needed to be said. This was beyond anything either of them had experienced before. She rocked his world, and he decimated hers.

At some point, they must have fallen asleep with Aaron still embedded inside her. Penny woke first and when she tried to separate their bodies, she realized they were joined together - dried cum sticking to their inner thighs... Eventually, she was able to extricate herself from him and as she padded into the bathroom to pee, she looked down to see a river of cum start to ooze out from between her legs.

She turned on the shower and tried to clean herself up when she heard Aaron enter the bathroom and then saw the shower door open... Wordlessly, he entered, wrapping his arms around the small woman. She buried her head against his chest, hugging him.

She took the soap and washed his body from head to toes, and he did the same to her... once they rinsed, Aaron got on his knees in the shower basin and licked Penny's swollen pussy until she came again. She half leaned, half rode his face as he sucked her juices, her hands in his hair.

Aaron stood up and pinned her arms above her head, the steamy water still cascading over them and then he reached down and grabbed her ass, hoisting her up and lowering her onto his cock. He lifted and lowered her again and again until she started to cum again, Her legs wrapped around his waist, her arms around his neck. His orgasm quickly followed hers.

Once they came down, Aaron soaped Penny up and cleaned her one last time. When they came out of the shower into the bedroom, they realized the room reeked of sex and the sheets were soaked. It looked like a crime scene and as Penny stripped the bed, Aaron went out to the kitchen and brought back some fruit and drinks for them.

Sipping the juice, Penny seemed deep in thought.

Aaron said, "You okay?"

Penny smiled weakly and nodded. "Yep, I'm good... I think you broke me though... Jesus, Aaron... what exactly was that?"

Aaron laughed and said, "Yeah, that was pretty fucking amazing... you're one hot momma, Pen."

Penny laughed at his comment and reached over and touched his arm and said, "You're going to think I'm totally insane... but my body is aching for you... Is it wrong that I want it again?"

Aaron smiled and said, "Not at all - you're making up for lost time... Let's see if we can mess up another set of sheets, shall we?"

Penny laid down on the bed and reached up for her young lover.

Aaron climbed on top of the little brunette, supporting his weight with his elbows as they kissed…

He moved down to suck her breasts and then lowered his mouth down to her mound. With the flat of his tongue, he licked her inner thighs, teasing her by getting close to the sensitive hood of her clit, but not touching it directly. His motions made her jump, and she arched her back to try to feed him directly…but he chuckled…

“Not so fast, little one… Good things come to those that wait!” he kidded her.

He lifted her pale slender legs and put them up on his shoulders and then proceeded to nibble lightly on the soft skin of her inner thighs. He felt the heat of her pussy emanate from between her thighs and so he slid his dark hands under her ass and lifted her to his face.

As her clit came in contact with the bridge of his nose, he slid both thumbs into her very damp pussy and spread her open and downward, causing it to gap open for him. As he did, her cunt began to ooze downward onto his tongue…

Aaron began to lap at her juices – the sweet pungent taste allowed him to suck it deeply down in his throat and he slid his tongue deep into the gap.

“Oh, MY GOD…” Penny cried out, her hips bucking upward… Her legs started to shake and she followed with an orgasm that caused her to squeeze her thighs tightly against his ears. She reached down and grabbed the back of his head, driving it deeper into her. The initial orgasm was followed by several mini orgasms and she squeezed her eyes shut until they passed. When her breathing slowed, she realized that she had grabbed both breasts during the onslaught and was twisting her nipples violently in the process…Every nerve in her body became supersensitive with both pain and pleasure.

She looked down at Aaron and saw that his face was covered with her juices and immediately got embarrassed. She reached over and wiped what she could off his face…

“Aaron, I’m so sorry…I made a mess…!” she cried out.

Aaron laughed and said he’d gladly take a mess like that any day. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled himself up to a kneeling position, bringing her with him. She kissed him gently and then was surprised as she felt him turn her body so that she was face down on the bed, legs spread…

With her head down in the sheets, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, “Do you have any lube?”

Penny panicked and said there was NO way he was going to stick his cock in her ass, which made him laugh.

“No, baby, not today, anyhow…” he said gently…”do you have lube?”

Penny shook her head. She wasn’t sure where he was going with this, but felt her heart racing.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him reach for her toy…He wiped it up and down with the juices still oozing out of her and then VERY SLOWLY slipped it in her ass. Penny’s eyes flew open as she felt it penetrate her – the pressure was almost too much but he moved it in and out slowly, allowing her to get used to the size and thickness…until the pain became pleasure. She had never had a dildo in her ass before but suddenly understood why people enjoyed anal sex. She cooed and lowered her head down onto the pillow, allowing the toy to massage her gently.

She felt another orgasm building and then a second sensation. Aaron was sliding the mushroom head of his cock into her pussy…gently, slowly…filling her again, allowing her body to enjoy the sensation. Once he was inside her deeply. He began to rock his hips back and forth, in and out of her – she felt the sensation of the toy pressing in one orifice and his cock in the other, stretching the thin membrane separating the two.

She gasped and cried out, “Aaron, you’re going to kill me, aren’t you?”

Aaron smiled and said nothing – but then reached down and turned the vibrator ON while it was buried deeply inside her.

Penny screamed as she felt Aaron plunge deeply into her – the vibration of the dildo affected him too…he felt his shaft thicken and harden as it pressed against him and it brought them both to a simultaneous orgasm. His cock erupted, spewing a continued hot lava spray into her womb. It was the last thing she remembered before she passed out.

Penny woke up and found Aaron asleep on his back, the sheets pulled down, his ebony frame long and lean stretched out next to her. The toy tossed on the floor, still vibrating away…She assumed he passed out as well and smiled to herself. She hadn’t felt that satisfied or relaxed in longer than she could remember.

With some amusement, she looked down between his legs and saw his flaccid cock laying across one thigh. It was the first time she saw it completely still and not engorged with blood and sperm – she reached down with her hand and began to stroke it gently as he slept…

She was surprised that he didn’t wake up, so she decided to lick him clean – as she did, she felt him start to stiffen and thicken, even asleep. She took him in her mouth and began to suck on him until she felt him stir and rise to “full mast” .

Aaron looked down at the little brunette and smiled…

“You’re insatiable, aren’t you?” he laughed.

Penny ignored the comment and kept sucking on him and when he was fully hard, she climbed on top of him and spread her legs, allowing her pussy to hover over his cock…

Aaron put his hands on her hips to draw her down onto his shaft, but she wouldn’t allow herself to go lower.

“Good things come to those that wait…isn’t that what you told me?” she kidded him.

Aaron laughed and nodded. He put his hands behind his head and let her rule the show for the time being.

Penny lowered herself onto him, feeling his thickness as the bulbous head stretched her pussy once more…Inch by inch until he was fully inside her, impaling her, filling her. Once she felt him balls deep inside, she began to rock forward and back as she rode him. Her pussy tingled with every nerve hypersensitive until she came hard on him again. Once she came down, she lowered her torso to his check and stayed there – still deeply inside…

They held one another for a while and eventually, her legs started to cramp, and she unshackled herself from him and took another shower, allowing him to sleep. When she came out, he was on the telephone.

“Yes, that’s great news…we’ll be there tomorrow…see you then…” he said as he disconnected the call.

Penny looked at him quizzically.

“That was the hospital – your dad is doing much better…He was dehydrated, and they got him stable enough to come home tomorrow. I told them we’d be there to get him around 10 AM.”

Penny nodded thoughtfully, her mind going in a hundred directions. She wasn’t sure how to approach what had happened and what was next.

Finally, she said, “Um, what are you thinking? Was this a one time opportunity for us? Because if you say yes, I’ll understand but I won’t be happy…I haven’t been this happy in a very long time and would hate to not be with you again. I mean, yes, of course, the sex was amazing – but there’s more to it than that…I mean, it’s on a deeper level for me…something has changed – it’s not just physical, is it?”

Penny realized she was babbling and decided to just stop there…She looked up at the young black nurse and waited.

Aaron looked down at her and then put his hands on her shoulders.

“Penny, I don’t want this to end for us…and yes, we’re on a different level now, aren’t we? And yeah, I understand the complexity of this…your father isn’t going to be happy seeing me hanging around, staying over, sexing his daughter…”

He laughed at the last part which caused Penny to burst out laughing too and she smacked his arm.

“Well, let’s take it one day at a time, shall we?” she said, “he doesn’t have to know, does he? I mean, we can be discrete, can’t we?”

Aaron nodded.

They spent the rest of the night cleaning up the evidence of their sexcapade and getting the house in order for Jimmy’s return – Penny made them dinner, and they watched a movie in each other’s arms. But tomorrow will be a different day.

They picked up Jimmy from the hospital and brought him home to get settled in. For their part, Aaron and Penny kept a respectable distance from one another and Aaron went home. Jimmy was back to his usual curmudgeon self, sitting in his chair and yelling at the screen. Penny sighed and her body ached for Aaron’s touch.

The next day, Aaron came in and Penny went to work…she touched his hand as they passed and looked into his eyes lovingly and then she was gone. The exchange wasn’t lost on Jimmy.

Not long after she left, Aaron brought Jimmy a snack and suggested they go out on the porch for some air. A ball game was coming on soon and he set up a radio for them to listen to it. Jimmy kept looking over at Aaron but didn’t say anything at first.

Finally, Aaron had seen enough and said, “What’s on your mind, Jimmy? You’ve been watching me like a hawk all day…”

Jimmy smirked and said, “Ya fucked her, didn’t ya?”

Aaron just looked at the old man and said nothing. Jimmy waved his finger at the young black man and said, “Listen, boy…I know my daughter…I saw how happy she was with you and you know it too…So you had to stick that big African spear of your up her pussy, didn’t ya?”

Aaron immediately got angry and was about to tell the old man off when Jimmy interrupted him and said, “Listen to me carefully…. Penny is all I have left, and she means the world to me. She’s a good girl and deserves to be happy. I know I’m not the easiest person in the world to handle, and her life isn’t easy taking care of me. But sometimes life hands you a shit sandwich and that’s all you have to eat, so you get on with it.”

Aaron looked down at the old man and waited.

Jimmy said, “I’m only going to say this once and if you repeat it, I’ll deny it. Go ahead and have your fun. Don’t hurt her or so help me God, I’ll kick your ass. And don’t parade it in my face…Go about your business and enjoy each other – just don’t do it in front of me. Do you understand me?”

Aaron looked at the old man and saw the compassion in his eyes. He said, “Jimmy, you have my word.”

The conversation over, they listened to the game – Aaron got them each a light beer and when Penny got home, she found them sitting on the porch – she approached warily.

“What’s happening, men?” she asked with at least a hundred questions on her mind.

Jimmy spoke first, “This IDIOT is still on his METS bandwagon…. everyone knows the Red Socks are the superior team!”

Penny burst out laughing, Aaron chuckled, and Jimmy gave them both a smirk.

Such was life.
