We live next door to each other. Your husband is terrible, not abusive just incredibly unpleasant. Conservative, opinionated, rude. You are also conservative but in a different way. Active in church, modest in the way you dress. Very attractive in an understated way.

I work from home and see you outside fairly often. We talk from time to time. Recently you seem to want to talk more. Your daughter is away at college, your husband is often away for work, you seem bored and a little lonely.

You surprise me when you start asking if I think you are attractive. I assure you I do. You surprise me more when you start telling me about your sex life. You tell me you have only been with your husband, and that has not been good enough.

You go on to say that sometimes you wish someone would just come into your house and do whatever they wanted with you. And then you make eye contact and ask me, would you like to do that with me?

I can’t tell at first if this is a strange joke. I am a little afraid to answer, but then say “yes, I would like that a lot.”

You nod, and say, “my husband is away for the night. Today is a good day for it. Not right now. Give me at least an hour to clean up, to straighten up the house. And then, no need to knock or warn me. Just come in. “

I clarify one more time. You want me to come in, I can tear your clothes off, have sex with you, do anything I want you with you” You say yes and then walk back to your house.

An hour has gone by. I’ve been left thinking what “anything” entails. I’m going to find out.
