He shook his head. "I just got out of a relationship."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," I said. "Let me get you a drink. You like beer?"
"Do you have vodka and orange juice?"
"Sure," I said. I made him a screwdriver and kept everything handy to make him the next one soon.
"Don't tell Hank. He'd be pissed about me giving alcohol to a minor."
"Hank. Your husband? No problem." He took a sip. Bigger than I had expected.
He confessed, "My girlfriend broke up with me because she thought I cheated on her."
"Ouch. It's none of my business, of course, but did you?"
"No. I could have. But I didn't."
"That's a real shame," I told him. "Getting dumped like a cheater and not even getting the fun of sleeping with other girls."
He nodded and took another sip.
"Can I tell you a secret?" I asked him.
He nodded.
"You won't tell Hank? Or Steve?"
"No."
"I think you're actually lucky," I confessed, looking into his warm brown eyes. "I kind of wish I were single again, like you. I've been with Hank for most of my adult life. The romance went out of our marriage years ago, and lately I can barely stand to live in the same house with him."
Colin emptied his glass.
"Let me get you another one," I said as I took his glass and mixed him a fresh drink. "I wish I could date someone else. I wish I could remember what it's like to get excited by someone, get crazy with someone who's new and full of life. You know?"
He nodded.
I glanced at the clock. Hank could be home in another hour. "What do you think I should do?" I asked as I gave him his glass again.
Colin took another sip. As he did, he glanced at my cleavage display, but tried to play it off. Or was I just imagining that? Finally he said, "Maybe you could divorce him. Find somebody new."
"Do you really think I'm attractive enough to find a new man?"
"Yeah," he said quickly, without even bothering to look me over. Either he had memorized what I looked like or he was just saying it to be polite.
"Look at me," I told him, gesturing at my body.
And he did. He looked me over, from my generous tits displayed by my low neckline to my firm thighs displayed by my skirt. "Do you really think I am someone men would want to date?"
"Oh, yeah," he assured me, still looking me over. Now that I had invited him to ogle my body, he was taking full advantage, and going right down the path I'd planned.
"If I were someone you didn't know," I said, "and I asked you to come over to my place, what would you say to me?"
He appraised my body again as he answered, "I would say yes. I bet most guys would."
I licked my lips. "You won't tell anyone we talked about this, will you?"
"No."
