The Social Worker

The Social Worker

By Nutmegman

I have been feeling down and depressed for a few months now. I sent my primary care doctor a note through the portal asking if he could refer me to someone to talk to. He referred me to someone in his building and scheduled an appointment for this Wednesday at 9:30 am.

Even though I am married for 35 years, I feel extremely lonely. That loneliness has been getting worse and worse. When COVID was happening, I thought it would draw my wife and I closer together. When in fact, it seemed to separate us more. She didn't want to be touched, no hand holding, no hugging, no nothing and sex was a pipe dream. I could live without the sex, if I had someone to snuggle with and touch. She doesn't even want to talk about it, preferring to talk about our friends and in a negative way. I've started calling her Mrs. Gossip. I suggested counseling and she said no, because nothing was wrong. She had essentially turned into her mother, who she said she never would.

I have been trying for years to break through that shell. I tried to be affectionate, hold hands, be romantic. She just refused every time and I gave up. Now married for 35 years and so freaking lonely.

Divorce? The thought of being by myself just scares the shit out of me. So, I continue the way I am. But the loneliness is starting to really take hold and I'm now feeling depressed. Hence, reaching out for help.

I made sure to keep my Wednesday morning schedule open. I checked in early at 9:15 am and sat in the waiting area.

I was called in at 9:28 am and led to the persons office.

Walking into a nondescript office, with a noise machine to block outside noise from entering and noise from the room exiting. It was an inside room with no windows.

"Are you Ken? I'm Sabrina Leir. A social worker. Nice to meet you." Extending her hand which I shook.

"Yes, I am Ken, thank you for meeting with me."

"Of course, we are here to help. Have a seat."

I sat and said "How does this work?"

"Basically we chat and go from there. What is bothering you?"

"I feel extremely lonely and depressed." I explained the situation with my wife. "I have thought briefly about searching for someone outside my marriage, but have no idea how to do that. Plus today's dating is so different than when I was single, I have no idea how to move forward or if I even can. The loneliness reached a point where I reached out for help. Usually I can run it around in my head and logically find a solution. I'm very good at problem solving. But not for this it seems."

"Ken, what exactly do you feel your life is missing?" Sabrina asked.

"Physical contact. Hand holding, hugs, snuggling. Random physical contact - like feeling like I am desired or wanted for something other than what I pay for in the house and other expenses. But it's physical contact I crave.

Right now, when my wife isn't feeling good, she wants to snuggle or give me a hug. But it's not a hug per se. It's more of squeezing the life out of me.

I've asked her if she's happy or wants a divorce and she says she is happy and doesn't want a divorce. I've tried explaining how I feel. She says it's "just a phase" I'm going through.

So, what now?"

Sabrina looked at me and then said "OK Ken, stand up in the middle of the room."

I did that. She came over to me and stood right in front of me. She was a few inches shorter than my 5 foot 10 inches. She was thin but not too thin. She definitely was not over weight. I guess average in size with long brown hair, pretty face, nice body.

"Ken, pretend I am your wife. Give me a hug."

I reached down, under her arms and pressed my body against hers. My arms reaching around her back. My head next to hers. Pulling her in closer. She felt good. Not holding her too tight. But she felt good.

"Keep those hands above my butt please, Ken."

"Sorry." I said.

I could feel the stress leaving my body.

"Does this feel good Ken? You give nice hugs." As she hugged me back. Finally we separated and went back to our chairs.

"That felt so good Sabrina. I could literally feel the stress leaving my body, It felt so good. Thank you."

"Ken, you are smiling. Do you know that?"

"Uhm, I didn't. You give good hugs."

I was surprised to see an hour had gone by. How long was I hugging her?

"Ken, I see you work for yourself. Does that mean you make your own schedule?"

"Yes, I can put something in and have it repeat of what ever I want, so nothing else gets scheduled during that period of time.

"Would you like to schedule meetings with me twice a week to start? Say, Tuesdays and Fridays?"

"Yes, that would be great. What time?"

"What time of the day is best for you Ken?"

"Maybe afternoons? What is good for you?"

"Let's do 4:00 pm for both days. That way I can see you at the end of the day."

"This will be great Dr. Sabrina. I'll see you in a few days."

"Ken, no need for doctor. Please, just Sabrina. Would you like another hug before you go?"

I got up and walked to the center of the room and met her there. We embraced. I closed my eyes and relaxed. "This feels so good. I can't put it in words. Thank you."

"By the way, do you have a husband and kids? I, do not want to disrupt that." I said.

"No worries, my kids are grown as I got married early and my husband and I are in the middle of a divorce. He was cheating on me with my neighbors husband. He's come out as gay."

"Oh, my, so sorry" I said.

"I'm glad he told me, instead of staying in a damaged marriage." She said.

I hugged her tighter and she hugged me tighter. I was thinking that she needed hugs as much as I did.

"OK, Ken, I have to let you go. I have an appointment to have my car worked on in 30 minutes and have to leave. Thank you for the wonderful hug and I'll see you on Friday."

Friday couldn't come quick enough. I walked through her door. This time, I sat beside her desk where we could nearly touch each other, but we didn't.

"Hi Ken, tell me more about your life, kids, what you do, hobbies, etc."

I went through it all for her. Telling her how I put it all into my hobbies to help remove that needed feeling. How it works sometimes, but often not.

"Move your chair beside mine, facing the same direction. Here is my hand, how would you hold it?"

"Two ways. Palm to palm. Or the more loving interlocked fingers." I did the palm first and it didn't feel quite right. I interlocked my fingers with hers and that felt perfect.

"How does that feel Ken?" She asked.

"It feels electric Sabrina. The way it should. It's hard to describe. But holding hands this way, makes me feel connected to the person. Which I do, to you, right now."

"I have to admit Ken, it feels good to me too. Feels happy."

"Yes, a great description."

"Ken, do you have kids, gold fish, dog? Fill me in."

Hand still being held "I have 2 girls. Both graduated college. One is a doctor in Chicago and the other a patent lawyer in New York City. They are both highly educated and well to do and come home often to visit. I am very proud of them. What about you?"

"Two kids too. Two boys. One works for the Patriots doing marketing & other things. The other is a captain of a merchant marine vessel. That one, I'm lucky to see once a year. The other comes home to visit a few times a year. I'm also very proud of my kids. Right now, living alone with a 3 year old labradoodle named Buster. The darn dog can be too smart at times. But I love him so much. Here is a picture of him. He's 3 years old. I sometimes bring him here, as he loves people."

"I love dogs and Buster is very handsome. I would like to meet Buster some day. Your boys sound like they are very busy and successful."

"I'll bring Buster in next Tuesday. OK, let go of my hand. Let's stand up."

"Oh sorry." I said standing up.

"No reason to be sorry." She said smiling at me.

She stood up and came up to me for a hug. "How does this feel Ken?"

"It feels great. I'm, I'm..."

"You're what?"

"I feel like electricity is passing between us. I know it's stupid. Sorry."

"I feel it too. It's not stupid. No reason to be sorry. You can tell me anything. I'm right here for you." She said softly.

"Mmm, nice." I said.

She looked at her watch and said "Sorry, time to go home. I'll see you Tuesday and have a great weekend."

"I look forward to our next meeting and you have an enjoyable weekend too."

Tuesday arrived and I was on time. "Come on in Ken. It's nice to see you again. How are you feeling today?"

Since our session last Friday, I've decided to divorce my wife and filed the paperwork with my attorney yesterday. I got to thinking, that even if I'm alone and lonely, it's better than being lonely and living with such a negative person. She just sucks the joy out of my life and it's going to stop now."

I sat in the chair by her desk. She rolled back from her desk and Buster the red labradoodle stuck his head out and came to me.

I rubbed his head and ears, petted him and hugged him. I decided to be closer to him and sat against the wall on the floor and Buster came over and sat in my lap.

"Oh my" Sabrina said. "I've never seen him take to someone so quickly." She came and sat beside me. Buster was in heaven as I rubbed his belly and body. He got up and sort of leaned against me. I lifted and ear and whispered in it "Do you think your mom likes me?" Soft enough so Sabrina could not hear me. Buster turned and gave my cheek a lick. I held him by his ears and went nose to nose with him. He was looking right into me, as I slid beside his face and kissed his ear.

"OK, what did you whisper to him?"

"That is between Buster and myself." I said smiling. Her eyebrows went up. Buster laid across both our laps.

Sabrina stuck her hand out and I connected mine to hers and we held hands again. "Tell me about your house, yard and cars and where you live Ken."

"I live in East Longmeadow and have my whole life. This house, I've been in for 15 years. It's a split level. A good sized yard that takes me a few hours to mow. I keep thinking about putting in a pool, but have not yet. Maybe one of these days. I'm hoping to be able to keep the house once the divorce is finalized. I have a 5 year old Ford Explorer and an older Mustang convertible. I'm not wealthy, but I'm comfortable. I don't think I am lacking anything except someone to share my life with, that wants to be with me.

I like the outdoors, camping, stand up paddling, kayaking, canoeing, biking, walking, museums, exploring and finding new places to explore. Uh, let's see. I have a little camper that I tow and wish I could camp more than I actually do. I read a lot, nearly anything I can get my hands on. I watch a little TV. I guess if someone shared like interests, I'd watch more. I also love listening to music. What about you?"

"Everything that you do, plus art museums, hiking, anything that interests me. I live in Wilbraham in a small raised ranch, have a small, fenced in yard for Buster. Nice neighbors. I drive a Toyota Tacoma that Buster loves riding in. I hope too also find someone to share my interests and life with. I'm 45 and no spring chicken, but do enjoy people and life."

Little snores were now coming from Buster. Both of us made amusing faces and burst out laughing which startled Buster and he jumped up, looking at us. He came closer to me and nudged my other hand under his head for me to pet him. He stepped between our legs, which were side by side and leaned against us both. Sliding to an almost laying position.

"I don't think he wants me to leave." I said.

"You can stay extra. This is nice." Sabrina said.

"It is very nice." I said looking at her pretty face. She looked back at me and blushed. I smiled back at her, very tempted to kiss her.

The weeks went by and we continued like that, with Buster at nearly every meeting and soon enough the end of May arrived. It was the last Tuesday in May and Sabrina and I kept up our conversation, hugs, sitting and petting Buster and enjoying each others company.

While on the floor again, with Buster across our laps. I asked her "I, uhm, uhm."

"Just say it Ken."

"Well, uhm, What are your plans for July 4th?" I asked her.

"Well, what would you like them to be?" She said smiling back to me.

"You're just going to make this hard for me, aren't you?"

"Yes, you're cute when you're embarrassed, your face is red too."

"Oh boy. OK. You wouldn't be interested in attending the James Taylor performance at Tanglewood on the lawn with me on July 4th. Would you?"

"Ken. I would love to attend with you. I'm very excited to attend with you. Thank you for asking me."

Breathing a sigh of relief. "I've been trying to get up the courage to ask you for the past few weeks."

"I knew something was up but had no idea what. I figured you'd say something eventually. I'm just glad it's not that you're ending our sessions. I enjoy them very much and Buster would be heart broken not seeing you."

"I can pick you up. We'd make a picnic dinner, bring chairs and a blanket to lay on and a blanket to cover us if it gets chilly, a flashlight to help us find the chairs again on bathroom breaks, plus clothing appropriate for the weather. I'm very happy you will be joining me. I really did not want to go alone."

"I'm glad you asked me. I often go to Sunday after noon performances alone. It's nice, but better with someone."

"You like classical music too?"

"Yes, love classical."

"Me too." I said "Uh, would you like to go in two weeks when they open the season? Bring a picnic lunch? Same stuff?"

"YES!" She said. "I have a friend who adores Buster. I'll see if she'll be home that Sunday. Let me have your phone and I'll put my contact info in it. I can't wait."

"Would you like to go for a drive up north this Sunday?" I asked her.

We ended the session with our hug which seemed to last much longer and felt so good today. "Ken, I almost forgot, the office is closed this Friday giving everyone a longer weekend. Some office maintenance going on. I can't wait to see you again on Sunday. What time should I be ready?"

"I'll pick you up at 11:30 am, I'll bring a picnic lunch, wear or bring a bathing suit, just in case we find a place to swim or clothes you can get wet and bring spare clothes." I said excitedly.

I worked through the week. My clients noticing my happiness, and commenting that they haven't seen me this happy in a very long time. I felt good. The week seemed to crawl by, probably because I couldn't wait for Sunday.

I arrived at her house for 11:15 am, a bit early. Holding my hands behind my back as she opened her door.

"Ken! You look great."

I brought my hands around front and presented her with a small group of daisy's. "Flowers. Awww, so nice. Come on in. Buster is at my friends house and I told her I'd pick him up tomorrow. I was just putting on Sandals." She came up to me and practically jumped into my arms with a big hug. "I figured a hug is a great way to start the day with you."

"I like it. Your hugs always welcome." I said.

She locked her door, I took her hand and led her to my old Mustang convertible with the top down.

"Ken, it's beautiful."

"Thank you. I used my extra energy this weekend, to wash and wax it." I opened the door for her and she slid in. I released her hand and closed the door. I got in, backed out of the driveway, we both waved at neighbors as we drove off the street.

"I bet your neighbors are wondering who you are with." We headed north and got off in South Deerfield and worked our way to Mt. Sugarloaf. "Have you ever been up here?" The views are beautiful. We parked at the top and walked up for the views of the Connecticut River Valley. "Would you like to have our picnic here?"

"Yes, yes." We went back to the car and got the picnic basket and blanket to sit on. It was warm and beautiful in the sun. We chatted further about our families, where we grew up, friends, etc. conversation flowed easily.

"Let's drive some more, I have an idea." We drove north and then west to Bromley mountain park in southern Vermont. I bought us tickets and we went down the alpine slide, and did some other stuff there. Sabrina was positively glowing with excitement. "What do you think of this place?"

"Oh my god, I've never been on an alpine slide before. This is so much fun!" She exclaimed loudly. She had a huge smile on her face. Can we ride it again?"

"Of course!" I took her hand and we went to the ski lift to the top of the mountain. I felt like a little kid, it was so much fun. Down we rode again, faster and faster and I met her at the bottom.

"Do you like ice cream?"

"Of course!" I paid for 2 soft serves. "Can I taste yours?"

I tilted the cone towards her and dabbed her nose. "Oops" I said and bent and licked it off, then offered her my cone.

"What was that Ken?" She said smiling. She was glowing. I don't think either of us wanted the day to end.

"I am going to miss our next two weeks of meetings as I have to be out of town for work. But, can I text and call you after hours?"

"Aww, you better text and call me. I'll miss you. Will you be back for the Tanglewood opening season performance?"

"Yes, I get in the Wednesday before it. I can't wait for that, but I also don't want today to end. I can't remember when I have had so much fun."

"Me too."

"Are you getting hungry? I know a great place for burgers and beer in Bratt."

"Yes, let's go." I took her hand as we walked to the parking lot. I opened the door for her and she slid in. I got in and lowered the roof and off we went. We arrived and found a little wait to get in, ordered and sat and chatted some more.

"See this line? On this side is New Hampshire and that side is Vermont. Out the window is the Connecticut River. The food arrived and was delicious as usual. Then we drove south back to her house. I walked her to the door.

"I'm going to miss you terribly." I said.

"Me to, of you. Call me when you can. I'll have my cell with me every moment I am not working." She said.

I was holding both hands and pulled her in for a hug. I wanted to kiss her, but wasn't sure. It had been so long and I didn't know when to make my move. Hesitating, I ended up just hugging her tonight.

I was gone the 2 weeks and we chatted every night for at least an hour, sometimes it was hours. That made the weeks go by and soon I was home again and anticipating being with her on Sunday.

I picked her up and we were early enough to miss most of the traffic. I parked near the top of the hill at the Lion Gate entrance. Pulling our stuff out, balancing it and sharing the load with her, we walked in, bought tickets and found a nice spot on the lawn. We opened the blanket and sat and had lunch and sipped some wine.

"Delicious Ken. Thank you."

Smiling, we put everything away and read through the afternoons brochure while sitting in our chairs, holding hands waiting for the performance to start. Intermission arrived and we walked to the bathrooms. Returning to our spot, "Would you like to join me on the blanket?" I asked.

"Sounds perfect." She said.

We laid facing each other, on our sides. Close and talking to each other. I wanted to kiss her but was scared. Softly I said "Aw fuck it. Just do it."

"What?"

I leaned close, putting my hand behind her head and drew her in for a kiss. Soft lips, quick kiss, nose to nose, eyes sparkling, heart beating fast.

She scooted closer and kissed me. Longer this time, tongues exploring, hands pulling each other closer. Then moving away.

"I've been trying to figure out when to do that. Now seemed perfect." I said.

I've been hoping you would kiss me for a while now. But knew it had to be at your speed. It was worth the wait. Come here." And we kissed again. Then the bells rang and we knew the intermission was ending and the next part was about to start.

I pulled her even closer. Her leg, slid between mine, her body pressed closer to mine, arms wrapping around me and mine around hers. Lips meeting in the middle again. Desire spreading though both our bodies. She was warm. I was hard. Her soft legs on my legs. Finally pulling apart. Someone near by said "Go get a room."

We giggled and just lay there, half intertwined, listening to the music. The music ended and we stayed talking some more.

"I don't want to go home yet Ken. I don't want this day to end yet." Sabrina said.

"I don't either." I said as I ran my fingers through her hair. Finally we got up, packed everything and went back to the car. I drove to the boat ramp on Stockbridge Bowl and we just parked and watched the water for a while. "Let's grab the blanket and go lay on the grass." Which really meant, I want to kiss you more.

Laying down, watching the water, her head on my chest, sandals off, her toes on my toes. She climbed up on top of me. I held her tight. She was looking very intently at me. Wiggling as much as she could in public. No one was around, but it was a very public and active boat launch.

I rolled her over with me on top. My hard on pressed into her. There's no way she didn't feel it through my shorts. Me kissing her with desire now and then rolling back onto my side.

Looking around carefully, I slid my hand up her side and up her shirt to her boob. She sucked in air and grabbed my hand and pushed it down. I pulled back and slid it under her camisole. It felt so hot, soft and wonderful.

"Mmmm, the things I want to do to you." I whispered breathily in her ear and then sucked in her ear lobe. She rolled on top of me again and reached down and held my dick through my shorts.

"Mmmm, I want you to do those things and more." She said, catching her breath as I squeezed her nipple and dragged my fingernail across it. This caused her to push her chest into my hand and suck in her breath and a low "Mmmm, ooh" came out of her mouth and I swooped down to kiss her hard.

I took a chance and took my hand and slid it between her legs, up under her shorts and rubbed her slippery slit. "Oh, Ken, deeper. Oh, oh" as she clamped her legs around my hand, trapping it there. She rolled us back to sideways, eyes sparkling, taking her hand and pulling my head closer. "Do you think we could find a hotel nearby?" She said.

"But that means I have to let you go to look." I said. "By the way, you are so wet down there." I breathed into her ear. "I want you so bad."

I took my phone out of my pocket and looked for a nearby hotel and... didn't find one. The nearest was quite a ways off.

"Nothing nearby." I said. "How about a wine tasting, dinner and head home. Both of our houses are empty."

"Okay. What winery?"

"Furnace Brook, maybe 10 minutes from here." I interlocked her fingers with mine and looked deep into her eyes. I could see her want and she mine. But let's stretch it out a bit more, I was thinking.

I stood up, took her hand and helped her up. Grabbed the blanket and we walked back to the car. At the car, I spun her around and pulled her in tight against me for another kiss. Then opened her door and closed it after she got in.

"You have incredible will power Ken. But, let's play it your way. Let's build the desire." She said smiling.

We got to the winery, went inside and tasted some hard ciders and wines. We took some hard ciders with us as well as some apple cider donuts. "I'll take you here in the winter, when the giant fireplace has a fire going. You'll like it." At the car, before I could open her door, she pushed me against it and kissed me hard. "I want you so bad right now Ken. I know you want me just as much. But, we'll wait some more." She kissed me hard again and I opened the door for her.

Backing out, going down the hill. Destination Barrington Brewery in Great Barrington. I put my hand between us and we interlocked fingers, holding each other tight.

We arrived and went into the brewery and had beers with dinner. I asked the waitress, "Is there a nearby hotel or motel?" I asked.

She looked at us, tilted her head, smiling. "Yes, take a left and go down the street, you should see a few places. Have fun, you two love birds." I left her a big tip and took Sabrina's hand in mine as we returned to the car. We did our hot kiss and I opened the door for her again. We left the parking lot and looked for a hotel.

"There's one, let's check it out." It was now nearly 7 pm. I came out "Full." We went to the next 3 and all were full. "Good grief, no relief for the horny!" I said, getting back into the car. "I guess we head back home." As I drove off.

The wind was in our hair, tunes cranked, driving east on route 90. I was watching the road carefully as it was an old car with old brakes. My two hands were on the wheel. That's when I felt her hand on my crotch.

She leaned over and slid the other hand up my leg. I was hard instantly. I wiggled to loosen my shorts leg giving her better access. Her hand was now on the tip of my dick. She lowered the volume and said "I want this." Then turned the radio back up.

She was massaging me with her left hand through my shorts and rubbing the precum on the head with her right. I wanted her mouth on me so badly, but knew if she did in the car, we'd end up wrapped around a tree.

She slid my shorts leg back and bent down and licked my dick and then slid the head into her mouth. I pushed her head down. I had to be careful as this car required two hands on the wheel. But it felt so good.

Sabrina pulled up, pulled my leg back down and sat back in her seat.

"What was that?" I said.

"Something to keep your mind on track." She said.

"With a beautiful woman beside me, you can be sure, you are the only one on my mind right now. If this car didn't need so much attention to drive it, I'd be using one hand to drive and reaching over to you with the other. We should be at one of our houses in about 40 minutes."

About 35 minutes later, we were off the highway. "Your house or mine?" I asked her.

"Your house. I want to see how you live."

"You got it." 12 minutes later, we parked in my garage. I opened the door for her, took her hand and helped her out. Wrapping my arms around her, we kissed. Holding her close felt so good.

"We should bring in the leftover food Ken."

"Yes, we should." I opened the trunk and grabbed the cooler and carried it in. She followed me and looked around as I turned on the lights.

"Very nice and cozy home you have. I didn't know what to expect."

"I bought it at the right time, did some upgrades and repairs, added the pool, where I do laps and cool off. Without my ex here, I find I am enjoying the house much more. Having you here, certainly makes it much better. Do you dance?"

"What? Dance?"

"Hey Google, dim the lights to 10 percent and put on slow dance playlist on MusicFest."

The lights dimmed and I took her hands in mine, pulled her close and we started slow dancing to some Eric Clapton. I leaned in and kissed her softly, wanting to re-ignite that flame we lit a few hours ago.

"Are you comfortable Sabrina?"

"Ken, I am very comfortable in your arms, hugging you close, swaying to the music, feeling incredible." I kissed her again.

"You feel wonderful." As my hands drifted down to her butt. One in each hand, giving a squeeze and pulling her closer. Grinding her against my hard on.

The next song came on and I softly sang in her ear and alternating, sucking on her ear lobe and blowing hot breath into her ear. She shivered against me. We swayed to the music. My lips sliding down her neck, licking the salt from her sweat, sucking on her neck. She was making little moan sounds.

I reached down and pulled her shirt up and over her head and tossed it onto the couch. She has a white camisole on. I let my hands drift up and placed it on her breasts. Massaging through the material. My arms slid down and pulled the camisole up and over her head. It joined the shirt on the couch.

Pushing her, so her the back of her legs hit the couch, I leaned down and sucked her nipple into my mouth. Swirling my tongue around and over the nipple. She grabbed my head and mashed it to her. I reached over with my other hand and flicked her nipple. Dragging my finger nail over her nipple, causing her to twitch and moan. I nibbled on her nipple and then switched to the other breast, my other hand massaging the wet breast and I repeated my actions. I had her lighting up. It has been such a long time for me, I wanted to do it right. Nice and slow, so she enjoyed it.

I reached down and unbuttoned her shorts and unzipped them and pushed them down her legs. I slid to my knees and pushed my nose against her panty clad pussy. She was wet and I sucked the panty into my mouth, her juices coming through the material.

I slid a finger up her slit. "Oh god Ken. You're driving me crazy."

I put my fingers under the waist band and pulled them down her legs. With her holding the couch with her arms, I put her legs on my shoulders and went in for the prize. A long lick up her slit. "Oh, that's good." Another lick, this one deeper. Pulling back looking at her, she had a heart of hair above her pussy. It was adorable.

I licked further, up towards her clit, but not touching it yet. I opened her lips with each hand and licked up from the bottom again. This time, up and over her clit. "Ohhhh". I sucked her clit into my mouth, swirling my tongue around and over it. "Ohhh god." And she clamped her legs on my head, nearly causing me to fall over and grabbed my head pulling it into her.

Sucking her clit, I pushed two then three fingers into her and that did it. "Ahhhh, oh god, oh god, oh god." As he body twitched, squeezing my head harder, her breathing seemed to stop. She released my head. "Oh god Ken. That was a hard one. It's been so long since I was touched."

Looking up at her sweaty face, eyes glazed. I smiled at her. "Where is your bedroom?" She asked?

I stood and picked her up and carried her naked self to my bedroom. When we got there, I put her down and she said "I want to undress you."

She pulled off my shirt and ran her fingers down my chest. Unbuttoning the button on my shorts and they fell to the ground. She reached down and held me, looking up at me and smiling. She kneeled and pulled my boxer briefs off and my dick popped up to her face. She held me and licked me, stroked me, licked my head. Sucking me into her mouth. Soft lips and tongue.

"I'm not going to last Sabrina. I'm so worked up, I'm going to cum very soon." I said.

"That's what I want Ken." As she sucked me in. For the first time in many years, I was going to cum into another person and it was going to be a big one.

Then she pulled off me. My breathing returned to normal. Then another lick and she sucked me in, deeper and deeper. "Oh god, cumming." I grabbed her head and just held it. I couldn't stop cumming and thought I was going to pass out. Finally I stopped, and she licked me dry.

"Wow, you really came hard." She said.

"I thought I was going to pass out. You were incredible." I pulled her close, turned her around and laid her down on the bed. Kneeling again, I pushed her legs up and over towards her and then went at her pussy. In no time, "Ken, oh, Ken, oh god, again, ahhhhhh." As she came hard again. I kissed her pussy and stood up, rubbing my once again hard dick on her wet pussy lips.

Sliding in slowly, a little at a time. "Oh god, stick it in me now. Please please."

"I slid all the way in and started pumping. In and out, faster and faster, deeper and harder, until she was screaming again and I came again, pumping my life into her.

I crawled up on the bed. She moved up and we hugged on the bed. Holding each other close and falling asleep with her in my arms.

We awoke at the same time. Our internal clocks waking us after getting up at the same time for work for many years. Instead of putting her clothes back on, I gave her one of my t-shirts and I put a long one on also. She found her phone, stuck a charge cable in and called her office saying she was taking the day off. I had my usual Monday plans of working out of the office anyways.

I placed my hands on her hips and pulled her close, kissing her good morning. Pulling apart from our kiss, I said "Good morning." With a big smile on my face.

"Good morning" Smiling back at me she said.

"Hungry?"

"God yes."

"Good, come on." taking her hand and leading her to the kitchen. I wasn't sure what I had for breakfast food. Looking in the fridge, I came out with yogurt and fresh strawberries. "Is yogurt and fresh strawberries OK for breakfast?"

"Yes, perfect." As she came up behind me for a body hug and reached down and grabbed my growing member. I rotated around, my hands full and looked at her.

"Breakfast or round 3?" I said.

"Hmmm, breakfast first." She said grinning at me. She looked down and my hard dick was pointing right at her. "Hmmm, I'll get to him soon." As she bounced my dick down and it popped back up.

We sat next to each other after I washed and cored the strawberries. I opened the yogurts. "Try this." As I dipped the fruit into the yogurt and then into her mouth. She licked the yogurt off and then took a bite of the fruit. "Fuck, that's sexy. Geeze, I almost came watching you do that."

She did what I did, offering me the fruit. Except I took a bite and then grabbed the rest, chewed and sucked her fruity fingers into my mouth. Slowly sucking on them. My tongue massaging her fingers in my mouth. I looked down to see her fingers playing with her pussy. Pulling her fingers out, I reached down and pulled that hand up and sucked on those fingers. Licking them clean. Giving me an idea.

I took another strawberry and reached down, rubbing it on her wet pussy, pushing it in a bit, getting it nice and coated with her juices and brought it up to my mouth. I popped the whole thing in, enjoying the taste of both mixed together.

I repeated the fruit in pussy juice and held it in front of her mouth. She too took the whole berry and nearly my fingers. Causing her to chew and laugh as I pulled them back quickly. When she was done chewing, we were looking at each other. I placed one hand on her neck and pulled her in for a kiss, tongues dueling in strawberry flavored mouths.

With my other hand, I reached down and started fingering her wet snatch. Slowly, then faster using the flat of my fingers on her clit. She was reacting the way I had hoped, with her breathing increasing and he head dropped to my shoulder, her mouth biting my shoulder as she came.

Whispering in my ear "Put the food in the fridge Ken."

Not needing a second more, I pushed her back into her chair, put the food away and stood her up. I moved her backwards, turned her around and bent her over the back of the couch. Pushing the shirt out of the way, and plunged in. We both needed this, hard and fast. She held the couch in her hands and I pounded into her from behind.

"Oh, gonna cum Ken."

"Me too Sabrina, me too" She came just before me and then I was squirting deep into her. Falling onto her back. Shrinking out of her, and our combined juices sliding out of her and dribbling down her legs. I grabbed a napkin off the table and wiped her up.

"Damn Ken, that was fucking hot."

"I have to agree with that counselor." I said grinning. "Hungry now?"

We took the food out of the fridge again and gobbled it down. "What do you want to do now? I don't have to pick up Buster until around 4 pm. Lots of time to be with you."

'How do you feel about skinny dipping?" I asked her.

"What about your neighbors?"

"Go look in the backyard."

She looked around and said "Two empty lots and woods behind you. How did you do that?"

"I got lucky when I bought the house, neighbors on both side were elderly and wanted to sell them to raise some extra cash. I made an offer and told them I promised I would keep them empty and wooded. They both liked that and said it's mine."

I pulled her shirt off her. "You are so sexy Miss Sabrina." As I reached out and grabbed a nipple.

She reached down and grabbed my now hard member. I pulled my shirt off and she was stroking me. "How are you hard again?"

"I went quite a while without being touched. Your touch is amazing. Just being near you, looking at you, touching you, thinking about you makes me hard."

"Were you hard in my office and for how long?"

"Yes and around 2 months I think."

"How come you didn't ask me out earlier?"

"I was your patient and was hesitant of crossing that line. I also have been out of the dating arena for many years and I am 10 years older than you." I said.

"None of that matters to me."

"Come on, let's go in."

"Is it cold?" She asked.

Putting my hand on her shoulder, "You tell me." As I pushed her in. And jumped in after her.

She came up sputtering and swam over to me. Putting her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. "I've been without a partner for a long time too. While my spouse and I were together, he stopped touching me a while ago.

I reached down and held her butt. "I don't know how anyone has the will power to not touch you. I find it very hard to not touch you."

"Mmmm, I like that." She said as she went in for another kiss.

"I guess you'll now have those time blocks open twice a week."

"I know" pouting. "I really enjoyed your time with me."

"I still love my time with you. I don't know how I'm going to handle being apart from you after these last two days."

"Would you like to come over for dinner tomorrow night? Maybe walk Buster and watch a movie?"

"Yes, that would be wonderful. I'll come over straight from work."

We swam some laps, hit the ball around, sat on the stairs, partially in the water talking. I noticed clouds rolling in. "I think a thunderstorm is coming. Perhaps we should go inside?"

She looked up and agreed and we got out and went inside. Not too soon as a big crack of thunder startled us both. She let out a yelp. Then it started to rain and lighting and more thunder. We stood, just watching. I moved behind her and wrapped my arms around her. She wrapped her arms around my arms. We just stood there watching the lightning show. I nibbled on her earlobe. She rotated and we started making out like teenagers.

"Lunch?" I asked

"Something simple?"

"PB & J with popcorn?"

"What to drink?"

"Lemonade?"

"Sounds perfect, lead the way."

I had her sit on the bench seat and brought everything over to the table. I started making the sandwiches. I dabbed some peanut butter on a finger and tapped her nose and cheek.

"What the heck Ken?"

I leaned in and licked her nose and cheek.

"If you're trying to get me horny again, it worked." She reached down and dipped her fingers in her pussy and came up wet, holding them in front of me to lick.

"Fuck. Do you think Buster would have an issue if I slept over tonight? I can bring work clothes for tomorrow."

"I would like that very much and know he would too. You know, dogs are very good at judging people. That first day, when you met him and he plopped himself in your lap, I knew there was something special there. I knew you had to do it on your own terms at your own speed. But it drove me crazy. Now that you have, those flood gates have opened and I want to spend more time with you." She kissed me.

I held out the finger with the peanut butter on it and she sucked and licked it off. "Fuck. You're making me crazy Sabrina. But let's eat first this time, then shower. I have a new shower that was recently redone that I want to try out with you."

I held out half a sandwich and she took a bite. She held the other half and I took a bite. We continued that until both were gone. Then started with the popcorn. One for her, held by me and one for me, held by her. I was in a constant state of arousal. When the food was gone, I dipped my finger in her pussy and swished it around. 'Ohhh, ahhh'" She said.

I held my fingers in front of us both and we both licked them clean. "This is so fucking sexy." I got up, did the dishes, put the food away, grabbed the dropped t-shirts and led her by the hand to my new shower. I pulled out some fluffy sheet towels and started the shower.

It was a new shower, walk in, heads all over the top and sides and 2 hand held heads. The water temp was good and I let her in first.

"It feels like rain." She said. I adjusted the dial and it became a mist. She came over to me and pulled me close and kissed me. I reached behind her and rotated the dial and big droplets of water fell. It was interesting. Another turn and a needle sharp stream came down. The same adjustments of the side.

I switched over to the hand unit and went through those. One setting was a center hard pulse with a circular less hard pulse around it. I was looking at it and then looked at Sabrina. "What's that pulse for?" She asked.

I smiled and pushed her against the wall. I lifted a leg and brought it down a few inches from her pussy.

"Oh god Ken, wow." I increased the temperature a little and brought it back to her pussy and started again. "Oh Ken, I'm going to cum." I moved in closer, still holding one leg up.

She put her arms around me, her head leaning on my shoulder. I increased the pulse. "Ken, oh, oh. Ohhhh, cumming." I kept the pulse on her and she came at least two more times. I put her leg down, making sure to hold onto her. Her eyes were glazed and she wasn't moving much. Just was breathing. I switched off the hand held shower head and hung it up. I grabbed my shampoo and shampooed her head and the little heart above her pussy and then my hair. I helped rinse hers and mine. Then grabbed my soap and rubbed her down and then myself. She'll smell like sandal wood, which was fine.

I then grabbed the hand held shower head again and rinsed her off and went to work on her pussy again. I had to get that soap out. She came quicker that time and I kept it on her. She wound up and came 3 or 4 times. She looked at me. "That was good. Are we clean now?"

Her eyes were glazed and dilated. I kissed her softly. She was jelly in my arms. Being careful, I turned off the water, got us out of the shower and wrapped the big, fluffy towel around her. Starting at the top and moving down, drying her off. "Hold here." Putting her hand on the bar.

I dried off and took her to the bed. I sat against the headboard and pulled her to sit in front of me. She was sitting between my legs, my arms wrapped around her. Her head on my chest. I reached around and cupped her breasts in both hands, her nipples becoming erect. Sliding my hands down and opening her legs more, one hand went to work on her pussy, stroking, cupping, circling her clit and she came so quick. He hands dug into my thighs. I rubbed some more, she was taking deep breaths. I inserted 2 fingers and finger fucked her and she came again real quick. Moving my palm onto her clit, I made fast circles and she came again.

I pulled my hand up and licked. I let her relax and let my arms just hold her. She was breathing easier now and seemed asleep. I put my head back and closed my eyes.

Some time later I awoke from a dream where my dick was hard and in a warm, wet place. I opened my eyes to see Sabrina on her knees in front of me licking and sucking my dick like a lolly pop. Just as I was about to cum, she pulled off me. Watching my every move, eyes glinting.

She was edging me, watching me very carefully as she sucked and licked me. Feeling me expand, feeling my balls tighten, seeing my breathing increase and she would stop until I calmed down and then repeat. Each time taking me closer.

"Please, please let me cum Sabrina. I need to cum." She licked the precum off again. She was making me delirious. All the blood was in my dick. My hands were locked in place, I couldn't move.

This time she let me deflate. "Oh, come on." She sucked my deflated dick into her wet, hot mouth. My dick growing again and feeling like it would explode. She kept going, "Oh, going to cum. Oh oh." I pushed into her mouth and I think I passed out.

"Am I dead?" I asked her. She was blowing my face. "Did I just die?"

"No, silly, but you came like a volcano and then passed out."

"I've never felt anything that intense before. I felt like all my blood was in my dick. I couldn't move, couldn't see, just exploded and I don't remember anything after that. Intense, just doesn't describe it."

I slid down more and took her in my arms. We snuggled up and closed our eyes for a bit. I awoke to feeling hands on my dick. But it needed more recuperation time.

"Did I kill it?" She made her hand into a gun and fake shot my dick. Giggling she looked at me and gave me a kiss. "We had some serious orgasms there Ken. You rocked my world in that shower. That was amazing. I love sucking your dick and watching you respond." She licked her lips.

"Shall we get up, put our clothes on and go get Buster? Is it OK that I stay with you tonight?"

"Just you try leaving. I'll chain you down, if you try to leave."

She put her clothes from yesterday back on. I put clean clothes on and packed work clothes. I grabbed a few dog cookies for Buster. We took the Explorer and headed to her house. I parked in her driveway and she opened her house and showed me around and we put my bag in her bedroom. We then walked hand in hand across the street to her neighbor.

Ringing the doorbell, and a woman opened the door with Buster sticking his head out. "Buster!" Sabrina exclaimed and Buster burst out nearly tackling Sabrina. "Hey there Buster." I said and the dog did a U-Turn and tackled me.

"Oh my" Nancy said. I guess he knows you.

"Hi, I'm Ken and yes, he knows me. Blech, blech." As he licked my face, as I tried to talk.

Sabrina came over laughing. "Nancy, this is my boyfriend Ken."

I waved again as the silly dog had finally dropped in my lap and I sat up. Sabrina was rubbing him madly and the dog looked very happy.

Nancy came over and sat in the grass with us. "How did you go from going to Tanglewood with a friend to having a boyfriend in two days?"

"Well, we've sort of been seeing each other for a few months, talking and more. When we finally did something together, we hit it off. Here we are. As you can see, Buster likes him a lot, as you can see from the tail thumping and tackling Ken."

"Nice to meet you Ken. You take good care of my girl Sabrina. Dogs are very good at judging people, so you two have my blessing. I hope to see a lot more of you both. Where do you live Ken?"

"Thanks, Nancy. I live in East Longmeadow. I have a little house there." I said.

"Don't listen to him Nancy, he has a good size house there with a pool and a large yard. Buster is going to love it. It's much larger than my yard."

Buster decided it was time to go on a kissing rampage, tackling me and then heading to Sabrina. All of us laughing hysterically. "Buster, would you like a cookie?" The dog made a beeline to me.

"Sit. Down. Good boy. Here you go." Finally, he was sitting and chewing.

"Nancy, thank you for taking care of Buster. Are you available July 4th weekend Friday through Monday, by any chance? Ken has tickets to James Taylor at Tanglewood for July 4th. We're going to find a hotel out there and explore the area that weekend too.

"Most certainly, Henry and I love having him here with us. Our grand kids keep him busy too. He's so good with them."

"Oh, thank you so much. Can I bring him over on that Friday early afternoon?"

Certainly Sabrina, you two kids have a great time. Buster will be fine here with us."

We walked Buster back to the house and Sabrina showed me around. It was cute, with a small yard. But it was just her and Buster. They didn't need anything larger.

Brrring. Brrring went my phone. "I have to get this, it's my boss." "Hi Boss, what's up?"

"Hi Ken, don't call me boss, please call me Sam. Hey do you still have that ford Explorer that seats 7 people."

"Yes, but it seats 8 actually."

"Would I be able to borrow it the weekend of July 4th? A bunch of us are going to the James Taylor performance at Tanglewood. We are 5 couples, 10 people and are trying to not take 3 vehicles. Could I borrow your Explorer? I'll loan you my Tundra. Would that be possible?"

"Well, tell you what Sam. Sabrina and I are going out to the Berkshires for the weekend, heading out Friday afternoon and returning home Monday. We're also going to the July 4th JT performance with tickets for the lawn. We're bringing kayaks and plan to paddle Stockbridge Bowl and then go to JT. Your pickup would make transporting the kayaks much easier. Can I borrow it all weekend from Friday morning to Tuesday morning when I will swap you back at the office?"

"Ken, you drive a hard bargain and you have a deal."

"That's great boss er Sam. I can't get used to that."

"I look forward to meeting your new gal Sabrina too. Would you like to join us on the lawn? We'd love to have you two join us."

"Let me ask her, hold on." I muted the phone. "Sabrina, my boss and his friends; very nice friends; are going to JT on Saturday too asked me if we want to join them on the lawn. I'm also going to swap vehicles with him. He has a very nice truck as he wants the people carrying capacity of my explorer. But would you want to join them?"

"Sure Ken, that sounds like fun."

"Sam, Sabrina says yes, we'll join you. How do we find you?"

"I'll have a pole secured to one of our chairs with one or more glow sticks & a small purple shark flag at the top. I'll also watch my phone. Text me when you arrive and either we'll join you or vice versa."

"Sounds like a plan. Looking forward to it. See you Friday, July 3rd at the shop. I'll make sure there is a full tank of gas too."

"Me too, this is going to be fun. See you Friday the 3rd."

I hung up and went outside where buster was chasing a ball that Sabrina was throwing. "Here let me throw a bit." I picked up the wet, gooey ball and threw it across the yard and Buster gave chase. He was relentless and never got tired. My arm was tired before he was. "OK, you win. My arm is not in shape to throw the ball forever."

Sabrina came over to me and draped her arm around my waist. "Would you like to watch a movie? Maybe 91/2 weeks with Kim Bassenger and Mickey Rourke? It's kind of sexy without being porn."

"What's wrong with porn?" I asked her.

She blushed bright red. Hmmm, something for me to explore with her in the future. "The movie sounds good. Let me wash my hands and change into something more casual."

"Sounds good. I'll make some popcorn and lemonade. I think Buster will relax now."

More comfy in light shorts, we snuggled on the couch and in mere seconds, Buster was laying across both our laps. He got petted. Both snuggled into me.

"He likes you Ken. A lot."

"I like both of you. A lot." I said. She turned her head and I kissed her. The movie was very sexy for something from the 80's. I casually reached over and stroked her boob. She looked at me smiling.

"What are you doing?" She asked me. I just smiled at her. The movie was sexy as heck and I was horny as heck by the time it ended.

"Bedtime?" I asked."Where does Buster sleep?"

"He sleeps in the hall, guarding us. NOT in the bed or bedroom."

"Good. I'll have you all to myself." I said smiling.

"Who gets to wake sleeping beauty." I said grinning.

Softly, "Buster, Buster, wake up puppy. Let's go outside before sleep. Come on, get up."

He wiggled, looked at us and got up. I stood and held out my hand for Sabrina. We went out with Buster and he did his business. We locked up, Buster took his position in the hall between the kitchen and bathroom and we went to the bedroom.

"What do you wear to bed when you are home alone?" I asked.

"I can model a few for you. Want to see?"

"Yes, please." She came out with a satiny top and bottom in purple. "You look hot in that." Next was a long t-shirt covered in flowers. "Anything under that?" She flashed me, no panties. "What a tease." Next was boy shorts and a tight tee. "Wow, Sabrina. HOT." Another short shorts and tank top. Side boobs showing. "Mmm, I like this too."

"One more she said." Returning wearing nothing. "This is for you."

"Dam, sexy as hell. Come here." She did a twirl, showing her hot bod and worked into my arms. "Kissing you is so nice. Holding you is even nicer. Touching you is better. Mmmm, sexy butt, sexy whole body. I don't know how I am going to go to work tomorrow and think about work and not you. I guess we should cancel the rest of my appointments. We won't be able to keep our hands off each other if I do show up."

"You're wearing too many clothes. Give me this shirt. Now the pants. Mmm, much better. Now, join me on the bed."

We made slow love that night and I went off to work the next day. The two weeks before the James Taylor trip went by so slowly. But that Friday finally arrived. I swapped my vehicle with my boss and left mid-day. I zipped home, loaded the kayaks and stuff plus clothes and a few other odds and ends and drove to Sabrina's house.

"Wow, nice truck." She said.

"Yes, it is and it's very comfortable and drives nice too. Let me have your bags and we'll head to the inn where we have a reservation." I put her bags in the back seat, double checked to make sure the kayaks were strapped down and everything in the bed was in place too and we left. An hour later, following the GPS, I pulled into the inn. It was beautiful, a huge, old Victorian house with pretty grounds, pool in the back and walking trails.

We checked in, found our room. Sabrina loved the 4 post bed and the room and view. She was very happy and came up to me "I LOVE this place. Thank you, thank you. I haven't been away in a while." Hugging me tight.

"Hmmm."

"Hmmm?" She said

"Yes, Hmmm."

"Hmmm, what?"

"I have two weeks off this summer with camping reservations in North Truro, I made them last year. The last week of July and first week of August. Would you like to join me? Camping in my camper, bring kayaks, bikes, whatever of interest, you and me, the ocean, the bay, incredible seafood, hot sex, incredible stars, whale watches, drive in movies, incredible sex and you and me. Even Buster can come along, although many beaches don't allow dogs in prime season. Plus I have a wedding to attend in August one weekend. I don't remember the date at the moment. That's in Chatham and going to be a BIG wedding. Would you attend with me?"

"You had me at two weeks off this summer. Yes, yes, yes to all with you." She said "Hmmm."

"Hmmm?" I said.

"Yes, hmmm."

"OK, your turn, what's up?" I said.

"Well, it may be too early to suggest this, and I bet you want it too, and I don't have the patience to wait for you to ask me."

"Oh my god, you're killing me. What?" I said smiling.

"Would you like Buster and I to move in with you?"

"YES. I had been thinking about that and wondering when might be a good time to ask you. Like my usual self, I analyzed it too much and couldn't decide when to bring it up. Yes, I would love that! What would you do with your house?"

"For now or for a few months, leave it empty, just randomly check it one a week or a few times a week. Have Nancy watch it too."

"If you keep the internet, I'll order some cameras and install them so we can check the house on our phones. Put a few around the outside and a few inside watching the entrances. I would need to do a walk around to make sure I ordered enough."

"I like that idea. When can we move in?"

Pulling her tighter against me. "How about next week? I can order a fence company to put up a fence to keep Buster where he is supposed to be. Or we can put in a dog electric fence. I'm not a big fan of those, but it's up to you."

"Fence. I'll help you pay for it and will split the costs of everything."

"Sounds great! I like it!" I kissed her and she kissed me back. We were both very happy. "What kind of food would you like for dinner?"

"Italian?"

"Yum, sounds good to me. Let me see what is near us." I found a place not too far away, called and made a reservation and was glad I did when we drove up as the place was mobbed with people and people waiting to get in. We had a cozy table in front of the window. There was barely enough room for us. But it was worth it as the food was delicious.

We went back to the inn and sat on the back chairs and watched the sun set. It was beautiful. We went to our room and stripped down to nothing and crawled into bed. We were both tired from the day and week and were content to just snuggle to sleep.

Saturday morning we awoke, ate a delicious breakfast and decided to hike some of the trails around the inn. Then packed our stuff and went out for a small lunch, we had our picnic dinner with us. I worked our way back to Stockbridge Bowl and we put the kayaks in and went paddling. It was a beautiful day. We paddled around the Bowl, admiring some of the very nice houses. We worked our way back to the boat launch and took an illegal dunk in the lake to cool off.

We put the boats away and laid on the blanket for a bit to dry before working our way to the Tanglewood parking lot. Thankfully early and able to park near the top, we brought our stuff in and texted Sam to see if they were here yet. They were not, so we picked a spot and sort of laid out a wide area for everyone. We didn't wait long as they were just 20 minutes behind us.

I had met most of the group before. Sam said, "Nice to meet you Sabrina. I've never seen Ken so happy. Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Mike and Samantha, Marc and Mandy, Shannon who pairs with me, Mack and Sue and David and C. We're so happy you could join us tonight."

"It's nice to meet you all." Sabrina said "I may need help with names later, so please forgive me in advance."

"No worries." Sam said. "There is a lot of us to remember. Now come sit down and have some wine."

Once everyone was sitting, Mike and Samantha stood up to address the group. "First, Ken, thank you for the loan of your vehicle, it was perfect. Ken and Sabrina, welcome to our group of friends. Looking at everyone, we've all been through a lot these past two to three years. Things that have brought us all together, things that has caused us to meet our partners, other things that has drawn us all closer as one friends-family. Sabrina, as I suspect you will find out soon, as I suspect Ken is bringing you to the wedding next month, we are all very close and we are all getting married next month.

So, please raise your glass, to friends."

"To friends" Every one said and sipped their wine.

"Sabrina leaned to me "They're all getting married next month? How are we attending five weddings?"

Smiling, I said "It's one giant wedding. All of us are getting married at the same time. There are so many overlapping friends. Sam that's Samantha came up with the idea. I think it's amazing. It's at some posh Chatham Cape Cod resort. They've rented the whole resort and everything is paid for."

"Wow. Some great people you know." Sabrina said.

"Ding ding" Went the warning bells.

"Do you want to sit here or lay on the blanket?"

"Blanket and It'll take all my willpower to not be too explicit down there with you." She said.

Smiling at her, I got up, held out my hand and helped her up and we took a spot on the blanket.

"Ding ding" Went the second level of bells.

"Laying on my side, I put my hand on her neck and drew her close. I'm sure you know this already, I love you."

"I know" She said smiling "I love you too. That's the reason I suggested moving us in with you."

I pulled her in for a kiss and everyone around us started clapping. Both Sabrina and I turned a deep shade of red. Laughter ensued. Everyone joined us on the blanket. The music then started.

The lawn was jammed with people as far as the eye could see. 20 minutes in, I said, is anyone hungry. Everyone said yes. We sat Indian style on the blanket and everyone brought out food and drink. Everyone shared everything.

Sam was to my right. "Sam, thank you for inviting us to join you all. This is really nice and Sabrina is making new friends."

"You're welcome Ken. I'm so glad you could join us. You and Sabrina look pretty serious in your relationship."

"Well, we've only been dating a month but met each other months ago and hit it off. We love each other and she and Buster are going to move in with me next week."

"She has a kid named Buster?"

"A four legged, hairy variety. A beautiful, red labradoodle named Buster. He's three years old and a wonderful dog."

"You know, David and C have a new red labradoodle puppy. I think her name is Bella and she is beautiful. Soft and loving. We'll have to get you all to come over and bring Buster to meet her. She has been spayed."

"Buster has been neutered too. I know Sabrina and I and Buster would like that very much."

"This is none of my business, so please forgive me, but I'm going to ask anyways. With the big wedding next month, would you and Sabrina like to get married with us all?"

"Can I let you know in a week or so? I have been thinking of asking her, but I tend to be slow with my decisions. Nothing like my quick work decisions. Since my divorce, I have been hesitant with personal life choices. I guess, in reality, scared to make them."

"No worries and as I said, none of my business. I was just thinking. How was the kayaking today? We passed that big lake on the way in and the water looked very inviting."

"It was beautiful. You get on the water and it's instant relaxation. It's really hard to describe until you experience it."

"I've always wanted to try it."

"I have my daughters kayaks still. We can take you and Shannon out some day, I have enough for the four of us. Just say when."

"That would be great Ken, I'd like that very much."

The music started again and Sabrina leaned against me, putting her head on my shoulder. Her hand in my hand. Samantha was looking at us smiling. We went back to laying down. Me on my back and Sabrina half on me. Her hands on my chest, looking at me.

"What are you thinking? I asked her softly.

"Just thinking" She replied back. Smiling at me. It made me wonder what she and Samantha was talking about.

"What were you and Samantha talking about?" I asked.

She smiled and didn't say anything. I looked at Samantha again, who was watching us and wondered what was going on. The performance ended and we all sat back in our chairs and turned them 180 degrees and watched the fireworks over the lake. It was a beautiful ending to a fantastic day. We stayed on the lawn with everyone for a while.

Sabrina and I stood up and started packing our things. "I'd like to thank you all for inviting us to join you. We had a wonderful time. You all have a safe trip home. Sabrina and I are staying at a local inn for a few more days. Sam, I'll see you back at work on Tuesday. Bye."

"Bye Sabrina and Ken. Enjoy your weekend."

We found the truck and worked our way through the traffic and back to the inn. It was approaching one am and I was yawning. In our room, "Can we just snuggle tonight? I'm really tired tonight."

"My love, laying in your arms is my dream. Come here." Sabrina said.

We snuggled and I fell asleep.

Sunday, I awoke to fine Sabrina sound asleep beside me. Spooned in tight with my arms around her. No reason to get up, so I closed my eyes and dozed off again. A short while later, Sabrina was waking me up. It was 10 am! We got up, had a snack, packed a bag lunch and went out exploring.

We found Lake Buel and went kayaking, had a late lunch off the tailgate of the truck, found a museum and walked through it, did some wine tasting and found a nice restaurant for dinner. Then we mosied back to our room at the inn. It was a delightful day.

We were sitting against the headboard on the big bed. "Ken, would you consider?" As her voice trailed off.

Looking at her, "would I consider what?"

She pulled my head to a kiss. "Would you consider, uh, uh."

"What?" looking at her. I had no idea what she was asking me. "Would I consider what? Come on, more of a clue please."

"Would you consider? Uhm, uhm." She said.

"Did I do something wrong? Will you not move in with me? Did I hurt you or do something to you?" I asked, sounding desperate, afraid of what she may be trying to say. She has me scared.

She held her finger to my lips. "Shhhh." She said.

"You can tell me anything Sabrina, even if it hurts me."

Again, she placed her finger on my lips. "Shhh." I raised my eyebrows. "Shhh" Two fingers on my lips.

"Ken, would you consider marrying me?" She asked.

"YES! I will marry you. I would have asked you eventually in my usual taking forever to ask you."

"I know, but it's modern times and I want to be with you always. Moving in is a step, but I want all of you."

"Is this what you and Sam were talking about last night? She kept looking at me and smiling. I knew something was up." I said.

"Yes. I asked her when Mike proposed and the others did. How soon after they all started dating. It was quick. David and C took the longest at six or seven weeks. I told her I wanted to ask you and asked her for some advice. She then asked me if she could add me and you to the Big Wedding and get us both married there too. I said I'd ask."

"Sam, my boss, asked me if I was going to ask you for your hand, last night. He said we "had the look" and he apologized and suggested we get married at their wedding too.

To spend the rest of my life with you, I'll get married anywhere. What do we have to do?"

"Sam gave me her number. Can I call her now?"

"Yes."

"Hi Sam, this is Sabrina."

"Hi Sabrina. What's up?"

"I asked Ken to marry me and he said yes!"

A loud yell I heard over the phone and Sam yelling to Mike that we were getting married. "I knew it! I am so happy for you both! I'm so excited!

Can you join us for the big wedding? We would LOVE to have you both get married with us."

"We would love to, but, uhm, we don't know what we can contribute financially to the affair. There's going to be so many people and the place is very exclusive. We do well, but not that well." Sabrina said.

"Sabrina, one thing you do not know about our group is that we are very well off. We do not show it, well maybe with a few of our cars, but otherwise, we keep it quiet. A number of us, but not all, do not worry about money. It's there, but it's the people we care about and very deeply.

You and Ken do not have to worry about money. Please. We want you to join us. You can help us to plan it and get the invitations out in the next week. But do not worry and never feel like you owe us anything. It's you, as friends, we want with us.

Now, compile a list of people with addresses and emails and get it to me before the end of tomorrow, for people you want to invite.

AND, I am so excited for you both!"

"We are excited too. I think Ken is taking me ring shopping today. Sam... thank you."

"Sabrina, welcome to our friends-family. Go hug your guy and enjoy the rest of the weekend!"

"I will, bye."

She hung up and looked at me. "Time to make a list ASAP of who to invite. We're going to be part of the biggest wedding Massachusetts has ever seen!" She leapt into my arms and we hugged tight.

Kissing me, she pulled away and said "Make love to me Ken."

I didn't need to be asked twice. I stripped her of clothes and took mine off too and joined her on the bed. She laid on her back and helped to guide me in. Watching as I entered her.

I started pushing in and pulling out. Faster and harder each time.

"Harder Ken"

Pushing deeper, as far as I could go. She wrapped her legs around me and I came. She grabbed my head and pulled me in for a kiss. Tongues dancing, lips mashed together, he legs pulling me in deeper. She rolled us over and laid on top of me.

"I love you Ken."

"I love you Sabrina." Kissing her.

"Let's plan our part of the wedding." She said.
