Thanks for sharing. I hope you do not mine if I Quote you some times. (All this life experience and when confronted with female emotion he was just as useless as he had ever been) Ain't that the truth!!! lol

Story piquantly yet tastefully expressed the caring of an experienced mature man for a woman as more than just a conquest. Beautifully done.

Haha! Quote away, I’d be honored :)

@BentNotBroken, thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you liked my story.

Thanks for a wonderful story. There's a fine line between helping an emotional young girl and being a dirty old man, luckily James only came close but didn't cross it. He can also count himself very fortunate for the chance he had because most of us will never have that opportunity. I guess there's always hope though. Thanks for a heart warming story.

@oldpantythief, I’m glad James didn’t come across as dirty old man, because I didn’t intend him to be one. I’m glad you liked my story.

This is my entry for Summer Lovin 2020 competition here on Literotica, so I appreciate each vote even more than usual.

Absolutely love it. Old dogs can teach youngsters new tricks. So Glad She asked him for his experience. Another chapter would be nice, Maybe covering her traitor friends miserable time camping. And just maybe she will want more of his loving. Thanks for it.

Excellent work. I felt for both James and Bethany, and despite their age difference, could understand why each did what they did. The only weak point in my mind was minor: That Will was going to stand her up or dump her was a fairly obvious plot device. I would almost have liked to have seen them go out but have her dump him because of whatever reason. That way it would have been a clear choice on her part instead of practically a rebound (despite her claim). Thanks for writing and sharing. 5*

The best I’ve ever read. This 72 yr old English Lit teacher gives you an A+, and I’ve read a lot of short stories in my lifetime. Characters and development , plot line, all the elements are excellent. I’ve been married for 50 years, and you captured my present emotions as well as those in my teens to the “t”. Thanks for your gift.
