Joshua and Shae had been married six years and a month when they called it quits. In truth, it was actually more of Shae’s decision.

Shae had been harboring guilty feelings about her lack of sex drive for most of their marriage. Joshua soldiered through and never complained. Shae felt bad, but didn’t know how to help. Since she was young, Shae was raised with the idea that sex was sinful and shameful, and this notion continued to be deeply ingrained in her. It was more of an obligation. Despite her deep love for Joshua, Shae’s unresolved issues prevented their relationship from flourishing.

After a few years, being intimate even once a month became a strain as the novelty of being newlyweds faded. Joshua thought it was his fault. He tried to spark their relationship by surprising Shae with romance gifts and date nights, but nothing seemed to excite her. Now, the couple’s bond could be described as nothing more than a friendship.

Joshua never complained and always remained loving and optimistic. Shae had always found comfort in her husband’s determination and love, as Joshua remained a faithful dotting husband year after year. He remained encouraging and emotionally available, and always hopeful his bride would return to him.

Everything changed one day when Shae joked about how repulsive it is for guys to watch porn. Joshua found it difficult to find the humor in her comment, and the truth was out.

Shae felt appalled by Joshua’s choice to watch porn to cope with their nonexistent sex life. This wasn’t the man she married. This was a pervert. It was too much for her to take. Shae packed a small bag and left for her mother’s house that night.

Joshua felt devastated. He loved Shae with all his heart and was trying all he could to make the marriage work. Despite all their years together, Shae labeled him unfaithful, and their lines of communication were abruptly severed.

Joshua had always prided himself on his physical fitness, and now he poured all his energy into his workouts. Joshua would spend hours at the gym, pushing himself to the limits and channeling his emotions into each rep and set.

As he looked at his reflection in the gym mirrors, Joshua couldn’t help but notice the streaks of gray flecking his mahogany hair. It seemed like he was just yesterday in the prime of his life, but now the signs of aging were beginning to show. However, Joshua refused to let that deter him. He was determined to use his gym time as an outlet for his anxiety and frustration, focusing on building his strength and stamina instead of his crumbling marriage. The intense physical exertion only provided a temporary escape from the heartbreak he felt.

For a long time, Shea had been frustrated with their relationship. If she was truly honest, guilt overwhelmed her more than anything. But the thought of Joshua fantasying about younger, more endowed women was too much for her to stomach.

In reality, Shea’s stunning physique always turned heads wherever she went. Her perfectly proportioned curves accentuated her shapely ass. Shae’s wavy amber lock and hazel eyes only added to her captivating and irresistible air. Despite understanding Joshua’s unwavering dedication to her, Shea couldn’t escape the overwhelming sensation of jealousy.

A little over a month had passed since the couple had gone their separate ways. Shae had been living with her parents until she could find a place of her own. Leaving Joshua depressed and alone in their apartment.

Joshua ended up ordering pizza nearly daily. It was difficult not to notice that the same pretty young pizza girl delivered several times in a row.

It didn’t take long for some friendly banter to develop. The pizza girl was the first to break the ice. “Are you hungry or are you just starting to miss me?” she quipped. “You sure don’t look like someone who orders this much pizza.”

The gorgeous girl’s flirtatious comments froze Joshua in place. He hadn’t flirted with a pretty girl in ages, but the pizza girl’s charm was irresistible. Her tight fitting polo caught his attention, but it was her piercing blue eyes that made his heart skip a beat. She had a subtle and youthful presence, accentuated by her porcelain skin and messy raven hair, that playfully escaped from under her ball cap.

The pizza girl noted Joshua’s endearing shyness and giggled. “My name’s Bree, by the way.” She winked. “Thanks for the tip.” As she turned and left, Joshua was in a daze, embarrassed and dumbfounded. Did he say anything? He swore to himself to do better next time.

A couple of days later, the pizza girl returned, and Joshua resolved to make up for the awkwardness of their last encounter. He answered the door with a ready smile. “I’m Joshua.” He blurted out. Bree couldn’t help but smile. Her plump red lips curled upwards as she fought to suppress her laughter.

“I know. It’s on the receipt.” A giggle escaped her lips as she couldn’t resist finding Joshua hopelessly adorable and handsome. “You’re really cute, you know?” Now it was Bree’s turn to blurt out words without thinking. Embarrassed, her fair complexion flushed with a rosy shade of crimson.

Joshua’s nerves were already shot, but Bree’s awkward compliment eased the tension enough for him to take notice of her as more than just a pizza girl. His heart leapt ahead of his mind, and he surprised both of them. “You want to get a cup of coffee sometime?”

Butterfly’s exploded in Bree’s chest, practically answering yes for her. Bree’s face lit up with a radiant smile as she eagerly passed her phone to Joshua, “I’m off tomorrow, Tiger.” Bree answered with a wink, as Joshua franticly added his number to her contacts. “I’ll find a quiet spot and text you round 10?”

“Sounds great,” Joshua exclaimed with a wide grin, his heart pounding in his chest like a bass drum. He felt like a teenager again. Bree, not content with just words, leaned in closer, her soft touch sending a rush of warmth through Joshua’s skin. Her vanilla scent lingered as she kissed his cheek, overwhelming him with her sweet and intoxicating aroma.

“See you then.” Bree smiled back with a devilish grin. Joshua’s head was swimming as he watched Bree’s taut ass turn and bounce down the hall. Joshua felt like she was going to melt. The weight that had been dragging him down was beginning to ease, he felt alive again.

For their date, Bree picked a quaint little coffee shop on Main St, just around the corner from a trendy spa.

The coffee shop had a cozy atmosphere with exposed brick walls and vintage furniture. Arriving early, Joshua couldn’t help but feel optimistic as he picked out a table in a cozy, sun-drenched corner. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, tempting Joshua’s senses even before he laid eyes on Bree.

As Bree walked in, her casual attire highlighted her natural beauty. Out of her uniform, Bree was ravishing. Her radiant, youthful smile brightened the room. Bree’s flowing raven hair cascaded down her shoulders, accentuating her delicate features. Joshua struggled to remain focused on their conversation, his eyes involuntarily drifting towards her alluring, youthful, smooth cleavage.

Joshua, still lost in his thoughts, failed to notice as the waitress began taking their orders. Bree chuckled softly as Joshua slowly realized it was his turn to order. “Ummm, black yeah yeah.”

“You are out of practice, aren’t you?” Bree giggled endearingly as the waitress walked away.

Joshua blushed and shrugged. “Well, yeah, I have to be honest…. I’ve been well… I am kinda, uh, married.” Joshua cringed. Why’d I have to be so honest? Joshua kicked himself. This was going to be a short date. “Separated, for a while actually, but yeah…” Joshua stammered, his hands trembling as he absentmindedly stirred his coffee, dreading Bree’s inevitable reaction.

Bree was no where near shocked and really pleasantly surprised. This shed light on why Joshua was so endearing and allayed her fears. “I have to be honest, too.” Bree smiled warmly as she reached across the table and cupped his hands. “I have a girlfriend.”

Joshua could only stare. Bree’s revelation left him bewildered and uncertain of what to think. Bree’s cute giggle cut the confused tension. “It’s more like a friends with benefits thing. Don’t worry.”

This was heartening for Joshua to hear, and more than a little intriguing. Joshua’s wife didn’t even like to have sex with guys. Was this hot young girl that sensual and outgoing?

As if reading his mind, Bree leaned in and whispered. “I like cock.”

Joshua’s eyes widened at Bree’s steamy words. He wasn’t expecting her to be so open. The atmosphere at the table crackled with a palpable mix of sexual tension and anticipation. Joshua couldn’t help but feel drawn to Bree’s youthful, raw sensual energy.

With a mischievous smile, Bree continued, “But don’t worry, Joshua. This doesn’t have to complicate things. We can keep it casual, just enjoy each other’s… company. No expectations.”

The chemistry between them was undeniable. Joshua’s mind raced. His mind kept drifting to Shea, but the irresistible allure of Bree was impossible to ignore. He couldn’t deny that his own desires had been unfulfilled for some time.

Joshua took a deep breath, and his instincts took control. “You want to get some dinner later?”

“Only if it’s at your place.” Bree winked. She continued to smile as she stood and gathered her purse. “Thanks for the coffee. I’m off at 8, I’ll text you, cutie.”

Joshua stood up and Bree moved closer, their bodies melting into a warm and tender embrace. “Can’t wait, tiger.” Joshua stood up and Bree moved closer, their bodies melting into a warm and tender embrace. “Can’t wait, tiger.” Bree’s tempting whisper lingered in his ear, sending a shiver down his spine.

Joshua’s heart pounded as he watched Bree walk away, her hips swaying with a captivating grace. Her hand gently grazed his tenting pants as she passed, sending a jolt of desire through his body, leaving him longing for more. Joshua couldn’t help but wonder if Bree’s teasing gesture was intentional, a playful hint of what awaited them later. He felt like a love drunk teenager, with renewed anticipation. Joshua couldn’t wait for the night ahead.

Shae’s mom suggested a massage to relax. Shae had been separated from her husband for months, but the residual anxiety took its toll. “You need to relax!” Her mom instructed, handing her a gift card for the spa so she couldn’t refuse. “I made you an appointment later this morning. Be there at 10.”

Taurus Day Spa was on a quaint little corner downtown, right across the street from Shae’s favorite coffee shop. The interior had the familiar appearance of a doctor’s office, but with the added touch of lush tropical plants and the soothing scent of coconut in the air.

Greeting Shae inside was a peppy receptionist, barely visible behind the tall counter. All Shae could discern was the receptionist’s youthful, sparkling eyes and tousled dark hair. “Hey, welcome to the Spa. Appointment or walk in?”

“Um, appointment. I’m Shae.”

“Oh, OK, great! Nicole will be right with you.”

Soon, the door beside the front desk opened. Smiling back in the doorway was a woman. She looked professional in her form-fitting khakis, which emphasized her long legs, and a tight polo that accentuated her head-turned breasts. Her short neon blue hair stood out against her fair, smooth skin.

Nicole’s unique appearance caught Shae’s attention. As they made eye contact, Shae felt immediate ease and comfort. Nicole introduced herself as the massage therapist and led Shae to a cozy room filled with soft music and dimmed lights.

Shae and Nicole discussed any specific areas of tension or discomfort, ensuring that the massage would be tailored specifically to her needs. Shae mentioned her persistent anxiety and the toll it had taken on her. Nicole nodded understandingly and assured her that she would do her best to help her relax and unwind.

As the massage began, Shae immediately felt the tension in her muscles start to melt away. Nicole’s soft touch was warm and comforting. The slight melony scent of her lotion contributed to the relaxing tropical atmosphere.

Nicole’s skilled hands worked their magic, applying just the right amount of pressure to release the knots in Shae’s shoulders and back.

Shae couldn’t help but feel a sense of trust and connection with Nicole. It was as if her touch was not only relieving her physical tension, but also providing much-needed emotional release. Shae opened up about her separation from her husband and the anxiety it had brought into her life.

“That’s terrible. No wonder you’re so tense.” Nicole mused as her skilled hands moved down Shae’s tan thighs. Shae quivered slightly at her tender touch, more commanding and sensual than she expected.

“Wow, your hands feel like a dream. A lot better than being manhandled.” Shae chuckled nervously.

“Sometimes you just need a woman’s touch.” Nicole whispered sensually and reassuringly. Nicole’s touch seemed to be warming her body from the inside out. Her delicate, warm hands were exactly what Shae’s body had been aching for. With each caress, Shae’s body quivered in desperation. Her heart was struggling to keep pace with the flood of endorphins. Her body finally received the intimate touch, which Shae had long rejected.

Nicole was quick to read the desires of Shae’s body. “I think we need to work on some extra areas for you today.” Before Shae could respond, her masseuse removed the towel covering her ass.

Shae shivered and felt the unfamiliar hint of arousal.

As Nicole’s hands moved to Shae’s lower back, Shae’s body responded with a mix of relaxation and excitement. The intimate nature of the massage, coupled with Nicole’s sensual touch, awakened a desire within Shae that she hadn’t felt in a while. It was a surprising and unfamiliar sensation, but one Shae couldn’t deny.

Her masseuse’s fingers ventured further. They danced down the small of her back before kneading Shae’s ass, releasing more and more tension as she did. Now and again Nicole’s fingers slightly separated Shae’s cheeks, each time venturing further down her ass and closer to her upper thigh, each time closer to her sensitive, needy slit. With each moment Shae sunk deeper into relaxation, she shocked herself with how aroused she was becoming.

Nicole’s gentle voice interrupted her thoughts, as if sensing Shae’s uncertainty. “Massages are intimate. Sometimes if you just relax, you learn what your body is trying to tell you, and what you need,” Nicole whispered, sending chills down Shae’s spine. Nicole’s sultry words not only provided ease, but also rekindled a desire within her she didn’t know existed.

Shae had repressed her sexuality for ages. Nicole’s tender and unexpectedly erotic touch was awakening something in her. Shae found her thoughts drifting, yearning for more of her intimate touch, for release.

“Please,” Shae whispered.

“Do you want to roll over?” Nicole asked, as if reading Shae’s daydreams.

Shae complied without thinking. Her lungs racing to catch up with her heart. The fresh, cool air washed over her naked body. A thrilling reminder of how exposed she was.

Nervousness consumed her as she exposed herself to another woman, but there was an irresistible charm about this stranger that compelled her to embrace the experience.

Shae couldn’t remember being so vulnerable. She glanced back at Nicole. Her piercing blue eyes radiated a soothing, intimate bond. She leaned in, closer than a friend. “Close your eyes,” Nicole whispered. Her gentle touch brushed the hair away from Shae’s forehead, instantly calming her racing heart. She did as instructed, leaving herself alone with Nicole’s sultry form lingering over her naked body.

Nicole massaged Shae’s shoulders with a deep hypnotic rhythm. Her hand glided up her clavicles, finally reaching the top of her breasts. Over and back, lulling Shae deeper into relaxation.

Shae giggled nervously. The massage was so relaxing and intimate, she couldn’t help but be turned on. Even worse, she couldn’t stop thinking of Joshua and imagining his strong hands lingering all over her body.

“I’m sorry.” Shae sighed. “I was never good at this. I, uh, never even let my husband touch me like this in case he got the wrong impression.”

“It’s perfectly natural. Massages are a very intimate thing.” Nicole smiled as she slowly massaged Shae’s voluminous breasts. Butterflies were exploding in Shae’s chest. Feelings and desires she had long buried were taking over.

Then something unexpected happened. Nicole’s delicate fingers brushed Shae’s sensitive nipples. Shae felt alarmed, but quickly dismissed it as an accident. But why did it feel so good? Shae’s heart raced as she secretly hoped Nicole would make another ‘mistake.’

Nicole moved back to her shoulders and down her arms. Shae let out a sigh. Sure, it felt good, but Shae longed for more. Nicole heard Shae’s sigh and chuckled to herself, slowly maneuvering her hand back down Shae’s chest. “Are you feeling relaxed yet?” Nicole whispered in Shae’s ear as her fingers reached her client’s greedy nipple.

Shae let out a gasp of relief, reveling in the stimulating sensation. Instead of answering, Shae panted heavily, her breaths coming in short, rapid bursts as she arched her back to urge on Nicole’s touch.

“If you want to spread your legs a little bit, I think we know where you’re holding most of your tension.” Shae’s heart raced. Was she saying what she thought she was?

Shae’s mind was flooded with conflicting emotions as she tentatively embraced the unfamiliar sensations. She had never felt attracted to women before, and the feelings bombarding her both excited and confused her. She questioned whether it was just the vulnerability of the moment or if there was something deeper at play.

Shae was panting, overwhelmed as her desire took control. “Seriously, this is embarrassing.”

“Maybe it’s something you need to get out of your system. Just close your eyes.” Nicole gazed at Shae with a soulful, encouraging look, reassuring Shae into closing her eyes. “Relax.” She whispered against the sensitive skin of Shae’s abdomen, as her lips began a teasing journey between her thighs.

Shae’s heart raced with a combination of nervousness and anticipation, as Nicole’s delicate fingers delicately traced along her exposed lips. Shae shivered with excitement.

“I’ve never…” Shae gasped as Nicole’s warm breath brushed the delicate folds of her labia. “…but I need it so bad.” The sound of Shae’s whimpering echoed through the room. “Please… please.”

Nicole listened, but didn’t give in. She planted tender kisses around Shae’s needy core until she bucked and moaned with longing. Nicole’s lips latched onto Shae’s clit and alternated, sucking and licking it, while occasionally plunging her tongue as deeply as she could into her.

If Shae wasn’t so overcome with pleasure, she would have screamed. Shae could only writhe and moan in euphoria. A man had never evoked the insane pleasure Shae was experiencing. The skilled masseuse had already pushed her closer to orgasm faster than she could herself.

“Yes, yessss oh fuck yes.” Shae’s moans drowned out the relaxing melodies of within the small room. Her body quivered and shook as she was transported to a world of ecstasy.

Shae couldn’t remember the last time she had an orgasm that was complete and satisfying. But she couldn’t remember the last time she let someone be that close either.

“Sometimes, to truly let go, you just need to let someone else take control.” Nicole mused, putting words to Shae’s wistful thoughts.

“Thank you,” Shae panted as she struggled to catch her breath, and she meant it.

While Shae cleaned up and got dressed, she couldn’t help but feel a wave of relaxation wash over her, as if all her worries were being lifted away. Thankful for Nicole’s skilled hands and compassionate demeanor, she thanked her again for the amazing, transformative experience. Nicole smiled warmly, grateful to have made a positive impact on Shae.

After leaving the spa, Shae noticed a newfound lightness and grounding, a sensation she hadn’t felt in months. The residual anxiety that had burdened her seemed to have vanished, replaced by a renewed sense of hope and resilience. Shae made her way to her favorite coffee shop, feeling grateful for the serendipitous location of the Taurus Day Spa. She crossed the street with a smile, just thinking of the wonderful cup of coffee that would make the perfect finishing touch to the day.

Unfortunately, the view inside the coffee shop did nothing to improve her mood. Shae had barely entered the building when her eyes were immediately drawn to the cute couple in the corner, standing in a lingering hug that seemed far too intimate for a public space. As the couple parted ways, Shae’s eyes widened in recognition of the man’s familiar face. It was Joshua. She had to leave.

Returning home, Shae attempted to shake off the images from the coffee shop, but they clung to her mind. Her mother’s early return home only added to the tension. Immediately bombarded Shae with questions about her dating life. Apparently, Joshua’s mother mentioned he had a date tonight. Shae tried to mask her feelings, attempting to appear both surprised and unaffected. Then, out of the blue, a flash of inspiration hit her.
