Brothers In (her) Arms

When the doorbell rang at six I was delighted to see her and Chucky again. She had on gray leggings with a pretty pink sweater that looked like it was made of cashmere. Both garments accentuated the body parts they covered. I saw how sexy her legs and ass looked in the tight leggings and her boobs were scrumptious in the soft, tight fitting sweater. I did not see either a visible panty line or any indication of a bra. I took Chucky's bassinet and made a point of walking ahead of her to resist the temptation to ogle her ass. I didn't even want to think about what effect her moving butt would have on me.

I told her we were eating inside tonight so I led her to the formal living room, a room I almost never used despite it being furnished beautifully thanks to Donna's impeccable taste. It had its own fireplace with an artificial log that could be used year round as it gave off heat only if you wanted it to. The room was lit with indirect lighting from wall sconces and torchiere lights. It was actually quite romantic. I put Chucky in a large comfortable armchair even though he was in his bassinet and couldn't appreciate the chair itself.

I sat on the luxurious sofa and sank into the overstuffed cushions. Alicia sat beside me as if we had been doing this for years. I could feel how at ease and relaxed we both were with the seating arrangements. I had the wine chilling in an ice bucket on the coffee table with two crystal flutes sitting beside it. I reached over and picked up the bottle and wrapped a bar towel around it before undoing the wire cage around the cork. When it was removed I held the cork and twisted the bottle until I heard the muted pffffshh of the cork leaving the top of the bottle.

Holding the glasses at an angle I tilted the bottle just enough to let the frothy wine cascade into them. I handed the first one to her and poured one for me.

"Champagne? What are we celebrating?"

"I'll let you decide."

"Well, last night you toasted to being new friends. Tonight, I would like to propose a toast to being friends with benefits."

"Does that mean what I think it means?"

"If you think it means we should be lovers then yes, it does."

"Alicia, as fantastic and desirable as that toast is, I can't drink to that."

"I would be very surprised if you had said anything else Walter. I know you're the type of man that would never dream of taking advantage of a lonely wife. I also know that you were a career military man and would not do something like that to a fellow soldier fighting in a far off land. I hope that you don't think I'm the type of woman and mother that would do that to her husband without good reason. Do you have a computer?"

"Yes."

She reached into her pocket and brought out a thumb drive. "Let's go to your computer so you can see what's on this."

We stood up and I led her to my den and put the drive into my computer. There was a file on the drive and I double clicked it to open it. The file was a recording of a Skype session between Alicia and Grant. The first part of the recording was the usual stuff you would expect a husband and wife to say to each other in their situation but then Grant asked her if she had thought about what he had told her in their last session. She said she still didn't feel right about it and thought it would be very difficult to find somebody to do what Grant wanted.

Grant seemed to get a little angry and told her that he didn't think she was trying hard enough and then went on to say he was in a dangerous place and he was a man who had needs and there were pretty women who could fulfill those needs and when he was with one of those women it really helped him to relieve the tension and the stress of combat. He said he felt guilty about doing it while she was at home waiting and denying herself the same needs as he had.

"Alicia please, find somebody you can have sex with in a fun way. Get a college kid or an escort but don't just ignore the fact that you're a beautiful woman and you need to be treated like one. Don't feel like you would be cheating on me. For God's sake Alicia, I could be killed today. I don't want you to deny yourself the basic needs of a human being while I'm here doing the same thing. I worry about you and I want you to live your life. You're making me feel guilty because I do it and you're refusing to. Please baby, will you please try to find somebody to have a little fun with so I won't think I'm ruining your life?"

She told him she would try and the session ended. Then she turned to me and said, "Does this change your mind Walter. You heard him saying it. You would have his blessing. I wouldn't feel like I was cheating on him. You and I have been ignoring a very important part of our lives by not being with somebody else and feeling the things that only sex can provide. He's right. This is the single most important thing you could help me with and you did say you wanted to help me. And I would feel like I'm helping you. Two years is long enough to grieve Walter. Donna wouldn't want you live a lonely life, would she? He told me to find somebody and I think I've found him. Have I?"

I removed the thumb drive and turned off the computer. I stood up and looked into her eyes. I couldn't say the words. A tear rolled down my cheek and she put her arms around me. "Oh Walter, my sweet, gentle man. You're the perfect one. It's OK. We have our lives to live too."

"What about when he comes back? Do we just stop and say it's been fun?"

"He won't be back for at least a year, a lot can happen in that time. Wouldn't you rather we knew love for that year even if we felt we had to end it when he comes back? We both know that tomorrow is promised to nobody. Are we going to let another beautiful night slip away from us?"

I took her hand and led her back to the living room. I picked up her glass and handed it to her. I raised mine and clinked her glass. "To new friends with benefits for as long as they last." We drank a sip of the bubbly wine then sat our glasses down and I moved forward and took her in my arms. It had been so long since I looked in a woman's eyes like this. What made it even more wonderful was she was looking back the same way. When our lips met, I knew she was right. I was the perfect one. I had loved and lost before and I could do it again if I had to. But for as long as it lasted I would give her the love I'd kept bottled up inside for so long.

"Come on, let's have dinner and then we'll make love."

I prepared a pasta dish. Fettuccine with shrimp in a light cream sauce made with low-fat yogurt instead of heavy cream. I also put in some fresh English peas and some finely chopped mushrooms. I decided to skip the garlic. I fixed a small mixed green salad with a light vinaigrette dressing to have with it. I cut down the portion size and dispensed with the French bread so we wouldn't feel too full for what we had planned for later.

We had dinner in the dining room, finishing with an icy sorbet I made with lemoncello. She helped me clear the table and load the dishwasher as though we were already a couple. I asked her what she wanted to do with Chucky and she said we could put him in one of the other bedrooms because she had brought the baby monitor with her.

"We can do better than that." I turned on one of the five flat screen TVs that I had and pushed a couple of buttons on the remote and showed her that we could watch what was going on in any room of the house in high definition and color. This way we could keep an eye on him as well as listen to the monitor.

"Oh Walter, I love that. Could you do that in my house?"

"Sure. What's really cool is you can watch any camera on your cell phone and even set it to alert you if there is movement in any room. You definitely should have a system like this while work is being done on your house."

Once we had Chucky settled in the guest bedroom she said, "Now show me the master bedroom."

"It's too early to go to bed. The next thing we're going to do is play in the hot tub."

"Oooohhh YESSS Walter, that sounds wonderful."

I got two large towels out of the linen closet and walked her out to the deck to where the hot tub was located. I got the heater and the jets going then turned on the TV you could watch from the tub and tuned it to the camera in the guest bedroom so we could watch Chucky.

While I was doing this she was taking off her sweater and leggings and placing them neatly on the bench. I had been right about the absence of a bra and panties. In five seconds she was naked.

"I'm glad you didn't wear your bathing suit."

"Walter don't be silly. Who goes in a hot tub with clothes on?"

She stood at one end of the tub while I got undressed. I stepped in and sat in one of the seats. The lights mounted on the side of the house that shone on the tub were on a dimmer. I had it turned down low so there was a soft glow on the tub. She put her feet in the tub and stood across from where I was sitting and walked slowly forward until she was standing knee deep in the bubbling water.

"Aren't you going to sit down?"

"I wanted to give you a chance to see what you're getting yourself into."

"Don't worry about that. Before I get into you I will make very sure I see all there is to see of you. I intend to look at every inch of you and then go back and feel everything I've seen with my hands and my tongue. We've both waited far too long to rush this. I'm going to take my time exploring you."

"Oh God Walter you're giving me goose bumps."

"Then come over here and sit on my lap and let me get started."

I was sitting on a molded seat that stuck out from the wall of the tub so there was space on either side. She moved forward until her legs were straddling me about half way up my thighs. The soft, faint light illuminated her just enough to see the colors and textures of her body. I studied her with a mixture of rapt attention and boyish delight. Little droplets of water were being splashed up from the surface of the tub as though they were actually trying desperately to reach and cling to her. Those that made it sparkled with reflections of light and skin.

Her legs were spread at the perfect distance to exhibit her pussy gloriously. Her pubic hair matched the color of the hair on her head identically so I assumed both were natural. The silky hairs seemed to decorate her vulva rather than conceal it. Her outer lips were puffy and well padded but still allowed her full pink labia to reveal themselves between them. I couldn't wait to get my tongue between those pretty lips and pull on them with my lips. Her clitoris was magnificently perched atop her slit like a crown. Half of the round pink nub showed from under a large spongy hood that was almost an inch long. It seemed to signal like the beacon from a lighthouse guiding a cock to the warm, snug harbor of her pussy. The thought of sucking it made me lightheaded.

I forced my gaze upwards over her surprisingly flat stomach until my eyes focused on her breasts. They were beautiful. Full and round with large, deep pink areolae surrounding prominent nipples. "Your breasts are incredible Alicia."

"You can thank Chucky for these. Before I had him my tits were only a B cup but they grew to a C cup and seemed to reshape themselves into tits that surpassed my own wishes for what I always wanted them to look like. They've stayed that way for a year now and the doctor says they won't change back. Getting pregnant was like having a free boob job to boot. Oh and there's one more feature you'll find interesting."

She brought her hands up and cupped them, then used her thumb and fingers to squeeze them. Milk squirted out of them. "I'm still nursing Chucky. I'm sure he'd be happy to share with you if you want a little bedtime snack."

My cock, which had been slowly expanding as I perused her body, sprang to full erection instantly upon hearing her invitation to suck milk from her tits. The head popped through the surface of the water like a periscope and she smiled as she saw it. "Oooohhh Walter, I see we both have something to suck on."

I reached my hands out and put them on her hips then pulled her down to sit on my thighs. She slid forward so my hard cock was snuggled against her pussy. Her eyes were sparkling with mischief as she leaned her head close to mine. "We're going to have so much fun. My pussy is already throbbing from the way you've looked at me. You really know how to make a girl feel wanted." Then she kissed me. In a few seconds I was hotter than the water in the tub. My hands slid down from her hips to hold and gently squeeze as much of her ass cheeks as I could. The blend of softness and firmness made my hands buzz.

She pulled back and said, "Are you going to put that lovely cock in me now?"

"No."

She pushed her lower lip out in a mock pout. "It's too hot in this tub and I'm not through getting you ready yet."

"Oh God, there's more? I'm so ready now I'm about to start without you."

"Patience Alicia. We've both waited a long time for this. A few more minutes won't hurt us. I promise you it will be worth the wait. Come on, let's get out of this hot water and proceed to the next item on the program."

She pushed back and stood up then moved to the side of the tub so she could step onto the deck and grab a towel. I followed her and turned the controls for the tub to shut it down. I walked up behind her and took the towel from her. "Let me do that." I gently dried her body carefully, taking the time to feel as much of it as possible. She shivered with delight as I rubbed her.

"That tub felt really good. I'm going to spend a lot of time in there from now on."

"I agree, it really restores you after a hard day and it feels even better when it's shared. Now if you will be so kind as to follow me." I took her hand and led her naked to the smallest of the four bedrooms in the house. I never could figure out what to do with this room so one day while I was out early on a Saturday poking around at garage sales I came across a very nice professional massage table. The owner was asking one twenty-five but I got it for seventy-five. I put it up in this room and made it into a little temple like spa room but never used it. Until now.

When we entered the room she shrieked with delight and said, "Does this mean what I think it does?"

"If you think it means I'm going to give you a massage then you're absolutely correct."

"Oh Walter, I've been dying for a massage for longer than I can remember but never got the right combination of time and money to have one."

"This won't be a full on body massage because if I give you one of those after a soak in the hot tub you'll fall asleep on me. You can have one of those another night but right now I'm going to continue exploring you and getting you ready."

"Walter, that's not going to take very long so let's get started. Should I lie face down or on my back?"

"That depends on how you want to get fucked. Mish or doggy?"

She moved to the table and gave me a very lustful smile before lying down on her tummy. "Good choice Alicia. I love doggy and if you had laid on your back I don't think I would have lasted very long looking at those beautiful milk filled tits bouncing around; but don't you worry, I'll get to them soon enough. Now, raise your hips up." When she did I put a thick bolster under her hips to elevate them. Seeing her lying there with her pretty ass in the air had my cock stiffening before I even touched her. The lips of her pussy framed by the tops of her thighs was a glorious sight.

I squeezed out a dollop of a moisturizing cream that contained an assortment of cooling herbs and smelled of mint. This cream would be absorbed by her skin, unlike oil, which would have made her body slick and necessitated another shower. I didn't want to take time for that. I started at her head by rubbing her shoulders and neck. She softly moaned as my hands gently rubbed the cream into her body.

"Ohhhh Walter this feels so good. This is what I've needed for so long. There are some things a vibrator just can't do for a woman and this is one of them. We've both been deprived of a lover's touch for too long. Grant was right; we should not feel bad about making each other feel good."

As I reached further down her back I leaned over and kissed the side of her neck and her shoulders. She started making the sweetest little cooing noises as I kissed her. Even the coolness of the cream couldn't mask the warmth of her skin. Each moment that passed made me realize how much I had missed touching a woman. Surprisingly I didn't feel sad that it wasn't Donna. This was part of letting her go and the next step in my healing process. I needed to give myself permission to feel the emotions I'd been suppressing since she died. Alicia was right about Grant; all three of us knew that she needed this to keep from stressing herself into a breakdown.

I moved to the side of the table and began massaging her lower back and that scrumptious ass. I didn't have to tell her to spread her legs as my hands began sliding into her crack. I used one hand to pull her cheek aside so I could get my other hand between them. She moved one of her hands back to pull the other cheek so her entire crotch was exposed to my exploration. I couldn't remember ever taking the time to actually massage a woman's pussy but I was really into it now. The more my hands caressed her upper thigh and the outer lips of her pussy the wetter her slit became and the harder my cock got. I slowly slid my middle finger up and down her slit from her asshole to her clit. Each pass across her opening coated my finger with her juice.

As I moved my lips to her ass to cover it in kisses I inserted my middle finger into her vagina. She moaned loudly and pressed up with her hips. God she was so hot and wet. I added my forefinger to my middle finger and began to tickle her g-spot.

""Ohhhh Jesus Walter, you're going to make me cum."

"That's exactly what I intended you to do Alicia. Go ahead; let me feel your hot pink pussy squeeze my fingers as you cum all over them."

"Oooohhhhh Yes, yes UNNNNHHHHHH YES! Walter I'mmmm..."

My cock throbbed as I felt her vagina pulsing around my fully inserted fingers as her climax started.

"Oh my god... OHH MY GODD... OHHHH MYY GODDDDD." Her voice rose in pitch until the last intonation became a shrill shriek as her orgasm seemed to shift gears and intensify into a total body spasm. I quickly pulled my fingers out of her cunt and moved my mouth to cover her opening and was rewarded by a stream of her delicious juice. I sucked hard and she gushed out even more.

I didn't give her any time to ride her orgasm out. I climbed on the table and straddled her legs then guided my achingly rigid cock to her opening and pushed forward. I slid the entire length into her with one thrust. She groaned and pushed back against me to be sure she had it all.

"OHHH FUUUCCCKKK Walter, YESSSSS. Fuck me. Fuck me. Fuuckk meeee!"

I leaned forward and began doing what she had asked for. Her ass was at the perfect height and angle to fuck her. I could lay on top of her without any discomfort to her since the bolster and her knees absorbed all my weight. I covered her neck with kisses as I got into a steady rhythm with my thrusts. The way her cheeks jiggled when my hips slammed into her ass was sending serious messages to my brain. I wasn't even sure she had stopped cumming yet but I knew it wouldn't be long until I did. Two years of pent up frustration from my self-imposed chastity was about to come to an end and it would culminate in an explosion of monumental proportions.

Then I felt that old familiar sensation starting in my balls; the unmistakable tingling and tightening that presaged my body's biological preparations for an orgasm. I closed my eyes and just let it happen. My cock swelled and a flush of heat rushed through it as the first load of cum began its journey through my shaft. It exploded into her vagina with the force of a fire hose. She jerked when she felt it like she had been hit with the paddles of a defibrillator and expelled a breath accompanied by a sound as if she'd been punched in the stomach. Her vagina clinched my cock with vise like embraces urging me to keep discharging massive volleys of cum. I spewed so many spurts into her I felt lightheaded.
