\par Anne & Stan
\par 
\par On Saturday morning Stan had woken with Anne, each feeling very slightly awkward with the other, not knowing what to say, and then a smile, a touch and all was well again.
\par 
\par Anne had looked coyly at Stan, who\rquote d given her a long, lus
tful, lingering kiss. The kiss turned into a more extended make-out session, before Stan broke it off. He was a little embarrassed: he ought to have been physically aroused, but nothing was happening. \lquote Tempus fugit,\rquote 
 he thought ruefully while pulling on his trousers, \lquote I simply }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 have}{\insrsid14303996  to get into shape!\rquote  and got up in search of coffee.
\par 
\par Anne, looking worried, followed, not bothering to dress. She asked, \'93What\rquote re you after, Stan?\'94
\par 
\par \'93I need coffee to function, my sweet! \endash  without it I\rquote m a sloth in the mornings.\'94
\par 
\par Anne embraced him and gave him another kiss. Finally, she pulled back and said, \'93Okay, I\rquote m going to get dressed. Coffee\rquote s in that cupboard, you can have full-fat or decaffeinated \endash  I want the real thing this morning.\'94
 After a final peck on the cheek she flowed from his arms and back into the bedroom.
\par 
\par Stan got busy, and soon Anne emerged, wearing a tan wraparound skirt and white t-shirt. She got busy with toast while Stan went to put his shirt on.
\par 
\par They chatted about inconsequential things for a while over their breakfast, then Stan stopped for a moment and looked meaningfully at Anne.
\par 
\par \'93We need to decide what we\rquote re doing, you know.\'94
\par 
\par \'93This weekend, or in general, Stan?\'94 she asked, \'93I thought I\rquote d made it clear what I want last night. I want to be your girlfriend, and see where it takes us\'85\'94
\par 
\par She paused for a moment, and Stan leapt in \'94I want that too, Anne. I want it so much I can\rquote t believe it.\'94
\par 
\par Anne smiled back at him, eyes glistening.
\par 
\par \'93I know, Stan. I was going to say that you\rquote re the first man I\rquote ve trusted, really trusted, since Daniel. I don\rquote t know how you\rquote ve done it, but that\rquote s a fact I can\rquote t deny. It\rquote s\'85it\rquote 
s happened so quickly, that\rquote s all. But I want to be with you!\'94
\par 
\par Stan\rquote s more cautious nature reasserted itself.
\par 
\par \'93I want that too, Anne. But let\rquote s take things as they come, for now, and not say things we might regret later. I think we\rquote ll scandalize people at as it is, so let\rquote s slow down. We have a lot to discover about each other.\'94
\par 
\par Stan decided some levity would be a good idea, so he added, \'93Besides, one thing you\rquote ll learn quickly is that I\rquote m not a seventeen year old any more. I }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 ache}{\insrsid14303996 
 this morning, you gave me a good workout!\'94
\par 
\par Anne brightened again, \'93Horizontal callisthenics, you can\rquote t beat it!\'94 
\par 
\par The two finished their breakfast, then Anne, looking pensive, asked Stan, \'93Do you have a bike? A pushbike, I mean?\'94
\par 
\par \'93No, I don\rquote t. I haven\rquote t ridden a bike since I left school. Why?\'94
\par 
\par \'93This talk of exercise reminded me that I normally go for a ride on Saturdays. It\rquote s good exercise, non-impact, works most of the muscle groups and gets me out in the air instead of being cooped up by a computer or in the lab. You should try it!
\'94
\par 
\par Stan wasn\rquote t keen on the idea. On the other hand, it would be more time spent with Anne\'85
\par 
\par \'93Well, the bike shop in town isn\rquote t open \lquote til nine. I guess we could go in and get a bike for me then. Doesn\rquote t have to be expensive, does it?\'94
\par 
\par \'93Not for what we want, although you }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 can}{\insrsid14303996  spend a }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 lot}{\insrsid14303996 !\'94 
\par 
\par \'93No, I can\rquote t!\'94 Stan emphasised, grinning.

\par Anne drove Stan back to his place and returned home for her bike. She put on exercise shorts and a sweatshirt, checked her messages and email, then rode over to Stan\rquote s house.
\par 
\par Stan poked around among his clothes, finally deciding on what to wear, while listening to an album by }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 Skunk Anansie.}{\insrsid14303996  By the time he\rquote d changed clothes she\rquote 
d arrived. The two of them walked into town, Anne wheeling her bike. They entered the bike shop and Stan explained that he wanted a bike to ride on the local roads and such, not expensive, off-road NOT a requirement!
\par 
\par Anne told him he was a sissy, but Stan wasn\rquote t having it, \'93It\rquote s almost 30 years since I\rquote ve ridden a bike at all, and you want me to go off-road? You could at least wait until you\rquote re going to collect the insurance money!\'94
 Anne laughed gaily and told the salesman to include a helmet, knee and elbow pads in the purchase. Stan just accepted, a little tight lipped.
\par 
\par They walked the bikes \endash  at Stan\rquote s insistence \endash  around to a park, and Stan gingerly tried riding again for the first time in over thirty years. Despite what they say about never forgetting how to ride, he didn\rquote 
t find it easy and wobbled alarmingly. Anne\rquote s obvious amusement at his attempts didn\rquote t make him feel any better, but after a while he started to rediscover his balance.
\par 
\par \'93You\rquote re starting to get it now, Stan. Tell you what, we\rquote ll have a ride along the paths here in the park for a bit, then we can ride the bikes home to your place and order in some lunch. How\rquote s that sound?\'94
\par 
\par Stan didn\rquote t answer audibly, he was concentrating, but he did nod his head. But it wasn\rquote t long before Anne told him it was time to \'93}{\insrsid14303996\charrsid5795467 hit the road}{\insrsid14303996 \'94. Stan groaned and told her, \'93That
\rquote s exactly what I\rquote m afraid of!\'94 The only answer he received was Anne\rquote s laugh and change of direction.
\par 
\par A quarter of an hour later the two reached his house. \'93See? It\rquote s much more convenient than walking, and better exercise. You might even consider biking into work, Stan. I ride for around an hour, normally, a }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 little}{
\insrsid14303996  quicker than we did just now.\'94
\par 
\par \'93I think this is a ploy to get me to take exercise,\'94 grumbled Stan, who was sedentary by choice.
\par 
\par \'93Well. This morning you missed an opportunity, didn\rquote t you? Better fitness, more and better sex. There\rquote s an incentive for you!\'94 Anne said, smiling to soften the blow to Stan\rquote s ego.
\par 
\par Stan wasn\rquote t terribly mollified, though. He worried for a bit while Anne used his phone to call in a lunch order from a local takeaway. He continued to worry while they waited for it to arrive, even though Anne carried the conversation.
\par 
\par When the food arrived, they put it on Stan\rquote s coffee table and
 sat in his comfortable armchairs to eat it. Anne had ordered more than enough, and they ate well. Satisfied, Stan got up and took the leftovers into the kitchen, then returned with a bottle of wine from the fridge.
\par 
\par He poured a glass each and sat on the sofa, trying to compose his thoughts. Eventually, Stan managed to come up with some words to express his misgivings.
\par 
\par \'93Anne, I know that I\rquote m older, less }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 capable}{\insrsid14303996  than you might have wanted. I hope I can be enough for you.\'94
\par 
\par Anne took one look at his face, and went to the sofa. She sat next to him, took his face in her hands, and kissed him. The kiss was long and deep, Anne\rquote s tongue forcing itself into Stan\rquote 
s mouth, conveying her passion, her heat. Finally she pulled away from him and looked right into his eyes.
\par 
\par \'93Stanley Hinch, you\rquote re a wonderful man. I think I hurt you earlier on, and I didn\rquote t mean to. You are }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 capable}{\insrsid14303996  of the most important thing; you inspire }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 trust}{
\insrsid14303996  of yourself in me. That\rquote s more important than mere physical things, because without that trust you wouldn\rquote t get }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 near}{\insrsid14303996 
 enough to me to use mere muscles. Now then, no more feeling sorry for yourself, and let me show you just }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 how}{\insrsid14303996  much I mean this. You\rquote re not going to have to do a thing!\'94
\par 
\par With that Anne reached for Stan\rquote s waistband. When Stan tried to help she slapped his hand and reminded him, \'93Remember, you don\rquote t have to do a thing!\'94
 She opened his fly, fished out his now rising penis and slowly, tantalisingly, lovingly started to stroke him with her right hand. She lowered her mouth to it and began to 
kiss up and down the sides of his penis, then she sensuously kissed up and down the underside of his organ.
\par 
\par Next Anne licked him, starting at his base and running up, slowly, so very slowly up to the tip, then running her tongue around the sensitive head she ran back down again, finally reaching the wiry hair at the root. Stan had now become }{
\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 hard}{\insrsid14303996 , just as he had been last night. Looking down, Stan could see blonde hair, those wonderfully expressive hazel eyes watching him, and not much else, for his juttin
g manhood obscured the view of what he could only see in his mind\rquote s eye, those sensuous lips and agile tongue.
\par 
\par \'93You see?\'94 she whispered to him, \'93Everything works fine. You have }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 nothing}{\insrsid14303996  to worry about.\'94
\par 
\par She ran her hand up and down again a few times, and then finally, finally she placed her mouth around his crown, closed her lips and sucked. Again she swirled her tongue around him, then lowered her face some more, taking him deeper into her mouth.
 She backed off him, sucking as she went, her cheeks hollowing.
\par 
\par Stan was entranced by the sight of this beautiful woman performing such a task for him, by the sensations around his dick, by the }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 thought}{\insrsid14303996 
 that Anne felt so much for him already in their still young relationship. Then thought disappeared and only sensation remained.
\par 
\par Anne again lowered herself, unable to quite take in his whole length, getting close, close, trying to force herself not to gag and not quite succeeding. She sucked back up to the top of his member, coating him in saliva, then jacking while 
licking him, bringing him close but never quite over.
\par 
\par She again placed her mouth over the crown, lovingly pushing herself down, down, using her tongue on the underside of his penis. Soon Stan began attempting to thrust deeper, and Anne firmly gripped him around the base, waiting for him to subside.
\par 
\par Stan lightly ran the fingertips of his right hand through her hair for a moment, caressing down over the lobe of her ear, down her jaw to her chin. She lifted off him for a moment, shook her head and waved a fi
nger at him, and he lowered the hand to his side again as she grinned and said, \'93Not a thing, Stan, not a thing.\'94
\par 
\par Again she cycled, licking and jacking and sucking, making love to his penis with her mouth and hands. Anne was enjoying herself but was focussed on his pleasure, on showing this man that she already felt deeply for, that the body of a teenager wasn
\rquote t necessary, that it was his soul that she wanted, needed for him to share.
\par 
\par Stan bucked underneath her and again Anne held him at the base of his p
enis, waiting for him to subside. Now she began to suck him in earnest, bobbing up and down, sucking on the way up, swirling her tongue around the tip at the peak of the upstroke, then almost lunging down to her limit.
\par 
\par Finally Stan could hold back no more and he grunted out a \'93Cu-cumming!\'94
 allowing Anne to suck hard at the bulbous end while pumping with her now tiring fist. Stan felt his orgasm approach, then his vision darkened and it seemed to him that he pumped endlessly into Anne\rquote s mouth.
\par 
\par For Anne it was consummation; she delighted in receiving Stan\rquote s seed in her mouth. She sucked gently, fisting him to get all of his ejaculate, then finally lifted her mouth away from Stan\rquote s slightly softening penis.
\par 
\par She carefully pooled Stan\rquote s cum on her tongue and n
udged him, causing him to open his eyes again and watch her. She opened her mouth, showing him his cum as if it was her offering to him, then swallowed twice, licking her lips. She bent once more and licked up the last trace of cum on the end of his prick
, wiping a stray tendril up into her mouth to finish and swallowed once more.
\par 
\par Stan looked on in wonder. Twice now Anne had orally taken him, something he\rquote d never experienced until last night. This second time had been an exhibition of her feelings for him,
 and he was deeply, deeply touched. He lifted her head and bent down to kiss her, tasting his cum at the same time. He allowed no hint of distaste for that to come between himself and this marvel who had given herself so fully to him, kissing her with a l
ove that so far neither had actually declared.
\par 
\par Their eyes met and once more they were fully in tune with one another. Nothing was said because words were unnecessary.

\par 
\par They passed the rest of the afternoon and evening playing some of Stan\rquote s wide range of music, talking, just }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 being with}{\insrsid14303996  each other. Eventually
 Anne had to go home to get changed. Stan asked if she could come over to meet him for breakfast, and Anne replied, \'93What makes you think I\rquote 
m spending any more time away from you than I have to? I was planning on bringing a toothbrush and a change of clothes here.\'94
\par 
\par Needless to say, Stan had no objection to that plan, but he did still have a small worry. If Anne expected sex he wasn\rquote t sure he could deliver after orgasming as hard as that.
\par 
\par When the two went to bed about an hour later, Anne simply cuddled him and told him, \'93Sleep, Stan. Just cuddle me, that\rquote s what I want from you.\'94
\par 
\par Neither had used the L-word yet, but both were aware of it hovering in their minds. Anne had almost accepted that she loved Stan, understanding coming as suddenly as a crystallisi
ng supersaturated solution. Stan was having a harder time of it, wrestling with the love he still felt for Caron.
\par 
\par Late in the night, with one of Anne\rquote s arms still draped over him, Stan lay on his back with his eyes open, staring upwards. He silently asked the dark eyes that only he could see, \lquote }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 What\rquote s happening, love? I
\rquote m beginning to feel for Anne the way I feel for you. Is that even possible?}{\insrsid14303996 \rquote 
\par 
\par A little while later he felt reassured. He could love another \endash  Anne \endash  the way he loved Caron. He was reminded of a phrase from Robert Heinlein: \'93Love doesn\rquote t subtract, it }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 multiplies!}{\insrsid14303996 
\'94 Finally content, he drifted off to sleep.

\par Sunday morning. It was already late; the clock on Stan\rquote s bedside cabinet said 10:30 in blinking green light. Stan looked across the bed.
\par 
\par Anne lay looking utterly relaxed in her sleep. Once more Stan marvelled at her beauty. He couldn\rquote t believe what she\rquote d done for him the previous night on the sofa, it had been an utterly unselfish act. He knew that he should reciprocate, 
but Anne looked so sweet in her sleep that he didn\rquote t want to wake her.
\par 
\par Stan carefully slid out of bed and padded into the bathroom for his morning pee. After washing his hands and brushing his teeth he grabbed his electric razor and quietly walked downstairs using the mirror in the hall to shave in.
\par 
\par He poured juice into a pair of glasses and made coffee, humming tunelessly to himself. Finally he returned carefully to his bedroom, put the tray down on the dressing table and went to Anne.
\par 
\par He bent over and kissed her gently, but she still started in momentary alarm as she woke. When recognition came into her eyes Stan saw her relax, and he gently rubbed her shoulder before sliding into bed alongside her.
\par 
\par \'93It\rquote s okay, Anne, you\rquote re with me,\'94 he told her, reaching across and taking a glass in his hand. \'93Here, have some juice.\'94 Anne smiled and took the glass from him, sipping at the cool drink.
\par 
\par Stan reached for his coffee and drank, too, and quietly watched as Anne shook off the cobwebs of sleep. He finished his drink before her and reached out for his juice.
\par 
\par \'93I told you, I need coffee to function in the mornings, }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 melamin}{\insrsid14303996 ,\'94 he told her.
\par 
\par \'93Huh?\'94 Anne stopped and asked.
\par 
\par \'93It\rquote s Elvish for \'93My love,\'94 he told her, softly. \'93I told you the night before last that you we
re my elf-maiden, and I once had a silly idea of writing love poetry in Elvish after seeing the films. I took one look at learning the languages - yes, there are two! - and gave up on that, but I remember that word. It just sprang into my head this mornin
g. It seems to fit you.\'94
\par 
\par Both Stan and Anne were aware of the line that had just been crossed. Love was a four-letter word that couldn\rquote t be taken back, even if it was a little quick in coming.
\par 
\par They finished their coffees and Stan leant forward to nuzzle Anne\rquote s neck. She gave a low moan, tilting her head to give him access. Stan continued, then changed the point of attack to her ear, nibbling gently at her sensitive earlobe.
\par 
\par Anne slid further down into the bed, and Stan went with her, before kissing her. The kiss lasted a few seconds and seemed to last a lifetime before Stan came up for air. He gently kissed the tip of Anne\rquote 
s nose before sliding gently down and caressing the undercurve of her breast before working up to kissing her nipples.
\par 
\par Stan then repeated his technique of two nights ago,
 weight on one arm with that hand caressing her face and the other hand arousing the sensitive flesh of her opposite breast while he gently nibbled, licked and swirled his tongue around the nipple of the nearest breast. 
This time, however, he had other plans.
\par 
\par He removed his right hand from the mound of flesh he was caressing and licked the middle finger before sending it lower.
\par 
\par Anne was losing herself in the wonderful sensations coming from Stan\rquote s caressing hands and mo
uth when she felt one hand disappear before she felt it rub gently, so gently against the top of her pussy. She opened her legs to provide access and was rewarded when she felt one finger briefly enter her, no doubt gathering some of the moisture she knew
 had to be there. She felt that finger enter then leave, tracing up her slit towards her most sensitive place.
\par 
\par The touch of his finger against her clit was electric, and she surged beneath him. Stan didn\rquote t repeat the touch right away; he drew his finger ba
ck along first one side of her outer labia and then the other, before dipping into her again and once more tracing upwards.
\par 
\par Still Stan upped the ante. His mouth was removed from her left breast as he kissed his way south, first the underside of her breast, then further, further, until her navel felt his tongue. Stan\rquote 
s hand left the side of her face as he repositioned himself. Anne, knowing where he was going, spread herself open for him as she felt him move between her legs, now raining kisses on her mound.
\par 
\par Once more she felt a finger dip inside her before trailing moisture upwards. Finally she felt his mouth between her legs, kissing and sucking the top of first one thigh then the next, before his tongue briefly penetrated her.
\par 
\par Stan tasted Anne directly from the source for the first time and was lost. The sweet, slightly metallic flavour was incredible to him; he knew he had to have as much of this as he could. He began licking in earnest then. Anne\rquote 
s legs moved of their own accord, throwing off the covers completely before pulling up, wide open and bent at the knees, laying herself totally open to him. It wasn\rquote 
t long before he heard her moans rise in pitch and frequency. She bucked beneath him, her pussy twitching. Stan stopped licking her clit, instead letting her come down while gently nuzzling the crease defining the junction of leg and torso.
\par 
\par Anne thought she\rquote d gone to heaven, but was really surprised when Stan began again, this time with one finger inside, hooking, looking for her G-spot. She couldn\rquote t help the jump in reaction when he found it, and it wasn\rquote 
t long before she once again was lost in her orgasm.
\par 
\par Afterwards, she rolled onto her side and pushed Stan away. She felt just too sensitive there. Stan pulled himself up beside her and kissed her gently, arousing her again when she smelt and tasted her own juices.
\par 
\par For Stan the whole episode was one of sustained, loving eroticism. During that second time he\rquote d been able to briefly lift his head, moving his finger inside her, watching her cum. He\rquote d lo
ved seeing Caron in orgasm, seeing Anne the same way reminded him of his lost love, but in a good way. He\rquote d finally made peace, and watching Anne in orgasm sealed it for him.

\par Sometime later Anne got up and attended to her morning needs. Stan got up with her and this time dressed, the two of them meeting downstairs a few minutes later.
\par 
\par \'93Why don\rquote t we go down to }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 Iorio\rquote s}{\insrsid14303996  for breakfast?\'94 he suggested. Anne agreed but added, \'93We can take the bikes!\'94 Stan, who was still a reluctant biker, agreed a little warily.
\par 
\par The two pulled up outside the coffee shop a few minutes later, and after chaining their bikes they walked in.
\par 
\par \'93Hi Tony! I\rquote d like you to meet Anne. Anne, this is Tony, he runs the place.\'94
\par 
\par \'93It\rquote s-a my pleasure, my lady\'94 Tony said. Stan was }{\cs16\i\insrsid14303996 sure}{\insrsid14303996  he was faking that accent, but had never actually caught him out on it.
\par 
\par Anne ordered a Cappuccino, Stan asked for a double Espresso. Both asked for a Panini for breakfast. Tony took the order and then with a lift of his chin told Stan, \'93Elaine is back in one of the booths. She didn\rquote t look too happy.\'94
\par 
\par \'93Thanks Tony, we\rquote ll go and find her.\'94
\par 
\par Tony waved acknowledgement and Stan led Anne to find Elaine. He found her without difficulty, but Stan was dismayed to see her slumped, looking miserable, cradling a cup between both hands. He wondered what had made her miserable and\'85
