Chapter 1

A famous author once started a novel with the line, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Jack Powell was a middle-of-the-road type of guy and thought that the present time was going okay for him in that he didn’t have any major complaints. Jack was a thirty-nine years old bachelor who was satisfied with how his life had been and the direction it was going. Teaching high school history and refereeing college basketball games had him earning a fair buck along with having the summers off. A master’s degree coupled with the years he had been teaching resulted in him receiving sufficient compensation to more than support his current lifestyle.

As a person ages, there is a multitude of things about life that one learns either by personal experience or vicariously. One of the things Jack had learned was what the present attitude of women were regarding sex.

He thought the major events that were responsible for most women’s current attitude toward sex or making love, whatever you want to call it, started with the introduction of the pill and the other forms of birth control. These items eliminated the concern women had for unwanted pregnancies. Women who didn’t avail themselves of the various forms of birth control were just playing Russian roulette as to getting pregnant. Jack knew most women nowadays were intelligent enough to avoid that happening. Men did share in the responsibility for pregnancy not to happen, but it was the women who were impacted the most if pregnancy occurred.

Couple the elimination of the pregnancy concern with women’s social advancement and their emergence in the business field along with the advocacy for women’s rights, all shaped their current attitude toward sex. Over time it had progressed from no sex till marriage, to sex only after three dates, to what it was now.

Jack from his personal experience and probably because he was a good-looking guy had found that women’s sexual attitudes had continued to evolve. Nowadays after one date, the chances were pretty good the date would end with having sex. Women had discovered what men instinctively knew, that one of the great joys in life was sex and they wanted their share of that enjoyment without having to worry about pregnancy.

Along with being a teacher, Jack was a member of a country club located not far from a university in northern California. He spent considerable time at the club if he wasn’t either refereeing or teaching. The golf course at the club was rated in the top one hundred in the States which was a definite plus. He played to a golf index of five and enjoyed the challenges this golf course presented, especially playing now and then off the championship tees. The golf course would be closed for a few months during the winter to prevent damage from being done to it. That was of no concern for Jack as he couldn’t be golfing on the weekends since that was when he would be refereeing.

For something to do this late Friday afternoon, he was at the club attending a lecture one of the club members was giving. Trish Simon, the assistant club manager had organized this weekly lecture series in which club members would give a talk on a subject they were familiar with either through their work or because of their experience. Today’s lecture was on creative writing and was being given by club member Doris Connelly who was a published author of many romance-type novels.

Doris who was a few years older than Jack was an attractive lady as well as what he would consider her being a “classy lady.” That she had a nice figure with good-sized breasts was a big factor that went into his classification of her. She was dressed in a business suit and was standing as she was giving her presentation.

Jack thought he would try and have some fun at Doris’s expense while she was speaking. He was sitting in the first row and in looking at her he was staring at just below Doris’s waist and not looking at her face. He could tell she noticed him doing this but what could she say? At one time he thought she may have presented herself to him when she took a few steps closer to him but that was only a thought he had. He didn’t do this starring for the whole hour but he did do enough of it for her to know what he was doing.

After this lecture was over, Jack along with a few of the members who attended this lecture went to the lounge to have a drink. After taking a seat at the bar and placing his order it was about ten minutes later he heard, “Buy a lady a drink?”

Turning on his barstool he could see it was Doris who was asking that question.

“It will be my pleasure to that Doris, please, take a seat,” and he called the bartender over to place the order.

She asked him what he thought about her lecture and while he hadn’t been paying close attention to what she was saying he told her that she did a fine job in making her points about writing.

After a second drink, he asked her if he could buy her dinner here at the club which she accepted.

During the meal, Doris who was a sharp lady shared some of her experiences in writing her novels and in doing book tours. She mentioned that in between these book tours she would visit interesting places in the area and take some photos. This he thought could be the opening he was looking for which caused him to say that he would like to look at those photos when she has the time. He thought if she had any interest in him she would pick up on what he just said.

Doris was not naïve and understood the opening she was given by what he said. She, with giving him a good look into his eyes, said after they finished the meal he could follow her to her condo and she will show him the photos. He agreed to do that and thought the chances were pretty good she might be showing him some other things which weren’t her photos.

In parking his car, Jack gave this gated condo building where she lived a good look which he thought attested to Doris’s authoring financial success. In walking into her condo he commented favorably on how it was decorated.

Doris put her purse down and coming closer to Jack said, “Do you want to look at that those photos or did you come here to look at something else?”

“I thought when you were giving your presentation that I gave you a hint at what I wanted to see.”

“I thought that could be the case since I did notice how you were looking at me.”

That told the story of why the both of them had come to Doris’s condo. His arms going around her brought her to him for a very nice open-mouth kiss with considerable tongue action. The kissing continued with his hand dropping and caressing her ass. Her arms were around his neck and she was rubbing her body against his. His hand moved to the side of her waist to unhook a button and he pulled down the zipper on her skirt without receiving any objection.

Leaving the skirt where it lay on the floor, she took his hand and guided him to her bedroom. There the both of them undressed and then they lay on the bed and resume kissing. His hand told him her breasts while they had lost some of their firmness were of a nice size. Her hand told her that his shaft which she was fondling was also of a nice size.
