Jenny's Lonely (MF, affair)
by James C. Lynn (c) 1997

*

     I had always liked Jenny, though I didn't know her well personally.
We worked together on the night shift. Us night-timers have a slightly
different perspective on the world that most other people on 'normal'
shifts. We're often driving on streets devoid of life at 3AM, and spend
a lot of time at home because nothing's open. And then we sleep through
the morning, when everybody else is alive and awake. It's a very lonely
life most of the time.

     Jenny suffered from this as much as I. She had come to town almost
a year ago, and because of her hours, she hadn't had so much as one date
in all that time. Often she would grumble about the lack of a social/sex
life. There were plenty of guys on the night shift, but for some reason
she didn't seem interested. More than a few of them were interested,
though. She stood about 5 foot seven and was rather busty. She was a bit
overweight, but not seriously and I found it quite a turn-on. It made
her seem more real, somehow. More than once I had half-jokingly offered
my services, only to be turned down with an appreciative smile. I could
never seem to work up the nerve to come out and ask her for a date.
Mostly it was because I was certain she'd turn me down and rejection was
something I didn't really care for.

     I don't know what got into me one night. It was a Saturday and we
both had gotten roped into putting in a 'little overtime'. If you
consider 10 hours 'little'. Anyway, it was about 9PM and we both sat
down to lunch. Since there was no one else there we actually talked to
each other. Somehow the conversation got around to dates, and I asked
her just what it was she looked for in a guy.

     "Well," she said musingly, "looks aren't all that important, I
guess. A good personality is more important." She was silent for a
moment, thinking. "Right now what I would like to find most is somebody
who's good in bed. After a year of nothing I'm getting kind of, well,
itchy."

     My heart gave a jump at that and my temperature rose ten degrees. I
got up to get a cup of coffee from the machine behind her. As I did, I
said, "How do you expect to find somebody like that? Advertise?"

     She chuckled. "I can see it now: Lonely woman seeks good fucker.
Low pay but great fringe benefits."

     "Those benefits look pretty good to me." I said, still standing
behind her and sipping my coffee. My heart had calmed, but I was still
tense. Anticipatory, perhaps. "But seriously, that's what you're looking
for? Not just any old guy who can get it up?"

     "Uh uh." She said softly, almost dreamily. "It would be tempting,
but hell, if the guy doesn't know what he's doing, it just isn't really
worthwhile. Not for me, anyway. For him it's probably great."

     The it was my turn to laugh. "Yeah, I guess so. Some guys are like
that. They just want to, um, get off and go to sleep. But there are some
who are different, ya know."

     "Oh, really?" she said, still seemingly in a trance.

     "Sure." I said. I put the cup down. "For some of us half the fun is
in making the other person feel good." I placed my hands on her
shoulders, though I wasn't really aware of it at the time. "Sex is an
artform. I think so, anyway. I used to have a girlfriend who told me I
was the only guy who was capable of making her come almost every time.
The only reason for that was because I the only guy who really tried."

     I was massaging her shoulders while I said this. I looked down and
saw that she was breathing deeply and heavily, her eyes closed. My heart
rate jumped back up when I realized what was happening. I felt my prick
swelling up inside my jeans like a balloon. Slowly I moved my hands out
along her shoulders while I continued to talk in a husky voice. "You
see, my favorite part of making love is to explore the woman's body." My
hands moved up and down her arms. Her breathing grew more labored and
she tilted her head up a bit, eyes still closed. I leaned down and
whispered close to her ear, "Every inch, from head to toe. I like to
touch, and be touched. I like to lick and nibble until until she can't
take any more. And then..." I ran my hands up her sides and slowly,
gently slipped them around under her breasts. He breathing turned to
gasps, then moans. She arched her back as I fondled her. Even through
her bra and heavy shirt her nipples stood out like little buttons. I
flicked my index fingers across them gently and each time I did she
jumped a little.

     By now I was hard as a rock and her hand found its way to my
crotch, rubbing its length almost desperately. She seemed almost out of
control, her breath coming in little cries. She turned around suddenly
and buried my mouth against hers. The kiss lasted forever, it seemed, as
our tongues intertwined like two sensuous snakes.

     Then the shift bell rang. Lunch was over.

     We both pulled back, confused and more than a little embarassed.
Neither one of us said much as we straghtened out our clothing and got
ready to go back to work.

     On the way out the door though, our hands brushed briefly and a
spark seemed to jump between them. I looked up at her and saw a barely
controlled fire raging in her eyes. I knew right then that it was not
nearly over yet...

     The rest of the night passed quietly. I kept looking at Jenny
across the otherwise unoccupied shop but not once did I catch her
looking back at me. I didn't have opportunity to talk to her at all, so
I could do nothing but wonder. Most likely she was trying to forget it
ever happened. I was hardly a woman's dream come true, as past
experiences had told me. Probably just as well.

     But just try telling that to the ache in my heart. Or the one
between my legs.

     Finally the end-of-shift bell rang. A couple of scraggly,
sorry-looking graveyard people had drifted in to take over our machines
and we could take off. I saw Jenny head over to the phone and dial a
number.

     "What's up?" I asked her.

     "Calling Dianne to come pick me up. She's got my car tonight."

     Dianne was Jenny's roomie. I had met her briefly before, and Jenny
had once mentioned that she worked an early day shift. Even if she
didn't have to get up early tomorrow she surely wouldn't enjoy dragging
ass out of bed at 2AM to come down here and get Jenny. Before Jenny
dialed the last digit I volunteered, "Hey, don't wake her up. I'll give
you a ride."

     Jenny looked at me dubiously, her finger paused over the last
number. "I didn't figure you for the altruisitc type. Isn't it out of
your way?"

     "It's more out of Dianne's way. The poor woman isn't a creature of
the night like us. She needs her sleep."

     She considered a moment, then put the phone back with the last
number still undialed. "Okay," she smiled, "but straight home and no
sidetrips. I'm bushed."

     "No prob." I assured her. We walked out into the refreshingly cool
night air, across the parking lot to my junkmobile. I saw her giving it
the wary eye and I flashed her a grin, "Don't laugh, it's paid for."

     I thought I heard her mumble something about it being paid for in
cereal boxtops but I didn't pursue the matter. I turned the key and the
engine moaned, grumbled, and finally coughed to life athsmatically. I
revved the engine a couple times and it roared impressively, the sound
bouncing off the nearby building walls in staccato bursts. I really
needed to put a muffler on the damn thing.

     Pulled out of the parking lot and into the street--slowly. I was
thankful that it was dark and Jenny couldn't see my foot which had the
accellerator pressed to the floor. I doubt she would have cared anyway.
She was too busy hanging on for dear life, trying to avoid being shaken
out of her seat. I *really* needed to put a muffler on this car.

     Ten teeth-rattling minutes later we pulled up in front of her
apartment building. All around lights were coming on as people were
getting up to see what the hell was making all that racket. I found an
empty spot along the curb and turned the ignition off the keep from
waking the other half of the neighborhood. In the deafening silence I
turned to face her. "Well, here we are."

     She turned in the darkness, "Yep, here we are. Well, thanks for
the, uh, ride..." and opened the door.

     I turned the key as she stepped out. I was rewarded by a low groan
and a death rattle from somewhere under the hood. Turning the key again
only got me a faint clicking sound. I hit the wheel with the palm of my
hand. "Shit!"

     "What's the matter?" Jenny asked, leaning in the still open door.

     "Fucking battery died again!" I groaned. "The alternator belt's
broken. I was gonna fix it tomorrow."

     "Oh." She said. "Well, I can go up and get the keys from Dianne and
give you a jump with my car. Hang on..." She dissapeared into the
darkness. Several minutes later she returned with a disgusted look on
her face. "I don't fucking believe it. She's not there! She left a note
on the 'fridge saying she left with some guy for the coast and won't be
back 'til tomorrow afternoon. In my car, damn her! I coulda been stuck
at work all night!"

     Actually, I had the idea Jenny was more pissed because her roomie
had a date tonight and she didn't. Which I didn't feel particularly
sympathetic for at the moment, considering my predicament. "Well, I
could thumb it home and have a buddy bring me back early tomorrow and
jump me. That way I can get the car out of here before it starts
lowering property values."

     I got out and shut the door and locked it. I started to walk down
the street and I noticed Jenny keeping step with me, obviously wanting
to say something but not knowing quite how. She said haltingly, "Um,
well, since it's kinda my fault that you're stuck here, I, uh, could put
you up for the night."

     Oh really? I was tired, but not so tired I didn't pick up on the
possible implications of that statement right away. And even if it
didn't mean what I hoped, it still sounded better than standing out in
the cold for maybe hours trying to get a ride from some soft-hearted
motorist. It wouldn't be the first time I had done that and I wasn't
looking forward to doing it again. "Sure." I said, hoping I didn't sound
too eager, "It's been a long day already. Thanks."

     "Thank *you*." she murmured under her breath, and I wondered what
that was supposed to mean as I followed her to her apartment.

     As I walked into Jenny's apartment the first thing that hit me was
the all-permeating odor of catbox. It wasn't too bad, though. I used to
have a cat myself, so I was used to it. The place was fairly small, with
a kitchen in an alcove off to my right and a short hallway to the left
leading to the bedrooms and bathroom. In front was the living room.
There was a couch and a couple of well-worn chairs. A small TV sat on a
none-too-steady stand opposite the couch and chairs. The place was
clean, but cluttered. Magazines and various articles of female clothing
lay scattered about. Jenny began picking up the latter while mumbling an
apology. I remarked it looked lots better than my place, which didn't
comfort her much since she saw what my car looked like and could well
imagine what my place must look like.

     She was probably right on the money.

     After a few minutes the place was fairly straight. She plopped down
in a chair, exhausted. I landed on the couch feeling about the same.
Exhausted, but far from sleepy. "Nice place you got here." I remarked.

     "Thanks." she smiled tiredly. "It was cheap and clean." She sat up
a little and said, "I really appreciate the ride. And... I'm kinda glad
you're here. I hate staying in this neighborhood by myself..." She
looked like she was going to say more but stopped and looked away
instead.

     I started to reply but felt something moving by my feet. I looked
down and saw a little grey ball of fur playing with my shoelaces. Gently
I reached down and picked it up. It was a kitten, about four months old,
all fuzz and golden eyes, which stared into mine. And sharp claws, which
I dicovered a second later as he(?) decided he wanted down NOW. I
complied quickly before he could do any serious damage. He shot across
the room in a grey blur and dissappeared under the coffee table.

     Jenny was grinning at me. Suddenly she got up and said "Excuse me,
I gotta change and clean up a little. Make yourself at home. I won't be
long." And she dissappeared into one of the other rooms. A moment later
I heard a shower running.

     I never was very good at making myself at home in somebody else's
home. Not to mention I was worn out from work and a funny little knot of
tension rested in the pit of my stomach. I turned on the TV and settled
back on the couch, trying to relax.

     It wasn't long before she was done. I turned to see her and had to
hold back a small gasp of surprise.

     She stood in the hallway dressed in just a nightshirt that just
came down to her upper thighs, and apparently nothing else. The shirt
was slit partway up the sides, showing tantalizing glimpses of skin. Her
braless breasts hung firm and high, the nipples hard, straining against
the thin cotton and just begging to be set free. Her bare legs were
magnificently toned, retaining just a hint of tan leftover from the
summer. I noticed she was smiling at me, nervous but apparently enjoying
my attentions.

     Then, to my complete shock she yawned and stretched her arms high
above her head. The shirt, which was just barely long enough to begin
with, rode up and I plainly saw the brown fuzz of her pubic hair. She
held the pose for one magnificent second, then dropped her arms down
again, much to my dissapointment.

     I made no pretense of not looking at her. That would have been
ridiculous. But her eyes met mine and I saw the same fire I saw earlier
in the lunchroom, only this time it wasn't smouldering but raging almost
out of control.

     With slow deliberation she walked across the room, swinging her
hips just the right amount to make the slits in the nightshirt part and
give excruciating glimpes of bare skin. She sat down on the couch next
to me, close enough to touch. One gorgously unclad leg rested on the
couch and across the other leg at about mid-thigh. One arm draped
carelessly over the back. Her eyes met mine and seemed to capture me
completely. My heart went wild as what was going on here finally sunk
in.

     Finally she spoke, her voice low and throaty. "Did you mean what
you said earlier?"

     Her voice startled me out of the spell I was in. "Um, what did I
say earlier?"

     "That you like to give pleasure as much as recieve it?" she said
softly.

     My heart thudded slowly in my chest. "Sure." I answered just as
softly, "Giving is lots of fun. I never tire of it."

     "And..." she asked, uncertainty crossing her face, "and... would
you be willing to give a little to someone who could really use it?"

     Now, it would seem to be obvious that I should answer immediately
with a loud and enthusiastic YES! but being in such a situation is much
different from reading or fantasizing. In all honesty, I was a little
frightened. I'd had more than my share of fantasies about Jenny, but to
be presented with a breathing living willing reality was another thing.
You don't treat real human beings the way you do in fantasies. But then
I realized that she was honestly asking for help, and taking quite a
chance doing so. She was obviously as scared and hopeful as I was. To
turn her down would do great damage to her self-esteem. I couldn't do
that to her.

     So, I simply said "Yes."

     She gazed into my eyes for a long, long moment, uncertain how to
proceed. Then her lips met mine in a deep, open kiss. She moved forward
until she was laying on top of me while we were still kissing. Our
bodies moved together, rubbing in slow, sinuous motion. Her hips pressed
down directly on the hardness at my crotch and ground against it,
sending waves of pleasure though me. Her mouth was still locked with
mine, but her breath was coming in short gasps. Our activity became more
frenzied as our excitement grew, her gasps turning to low moans.

     And all at once, the spell broke. She collapsed on top of me, her
head buried in my chest, crying softly.

     The dry humping had stimulated me almost to orgasm, but my erection
quickly faded. Unsure of what else to do, I held her and caressed her
hair and rocked her back and forth softly while making what I hoped were
soothing noises.

     For a long time we lay like that, until she sniffled and raised her
head. Her eyes were red-rimmed and very vulnerable. "God, I feel so
stupid..." she said in a very quiet voice.

     "Shhh." I said, "It's okay. You're not stupid. Things just went a
little too fast, didn't they?"

     She nodded, looking away. "I guess so. I've never been like this in
my entire life. I talk a lot, but I'm not really like that. Tonight I
just... I don't know..." she started sniffling and buried her face in my
chest again.

     "There, there," I said softly "being lonely and hurting doesn't
make you a bad person at all. It makes you human, which is no more or
less than the rest of us. You're a free adult and I don't feel you did
anything wrong."

     I don't think she was convinced but she didn't respond or argue. We
lay together silently until I wondered if she dropped off to sleep.
Finally she raised her head. "These long hours don't help any, either. I
think I'll go to bed."

     She got off me and stood unsteadily. Her nightshirt stuck to her
body in several interesting places but I found my interest surprisingly
muted by my concern for this girl. I thought I was going to be making
this couch my bed for the night but she held a hand down to me. "Come
on."

     I got up painfully, and stretched as the circulation returned to my
muscles. How long had I been laying there, anyway? I was afraid to find
out. Holding my hand, she pulled me towards the bedroom. "I know it's
kind of forward, in light of how this evening is going, but I'd really
like some nice company tonight, even just to sleep with. You don't mind,
do you?"

     I really didn't, and I said so. She kissed me on the cheek. "I've
always liked you."

     The bedroom was about as orderly as the rest of the apartment, but
still seemed feminine, without being really obvious about it. She had a
full size bed, with the blankets thrown over it in a hurried attempt at
neatness. She had probably done it before leaving for work this morning.
Yesterday morning, actually.

     She pulled the covers down and sat on the edge of the bed with a
sigh, springs groaning beneath her. "God, I'm so tired." She gripped the
lower hem of her nightshirt, apparently to pull it off, and then looked
up at me, concerned. "You don't mind, do you? I don't usually sleep with
anything on."

     My mouth had suddenly gone dry again as my heart leaped. I shook my
head, trying not to appear too anxious, "No, that's... okay."

     She pulled the shirt up, up, revealing inch after agonizing inch
more of bare skin, until she pulled it off over her head and dropped it
on the floor beside her. She stretched her arms, gloriously, wonderfully
nude, and sighed "Ah... that feels so much better." She swung her legs
up onto the bed and covered herself up to her waist. Her breasts were so
large and inviting, the aurioles a bright rosy read, the nippless still
partially erect, that my hands just ached to touch them. Instead I tore
my eyes away and walked around to the other side of the bed, where she
smiled and pulled the covers down for me. I sat down and almost got in
before she said "Aren't you at least going to take your shoes off?"

     I *had* forgotten that little detail. I still had my jacket on,
even. I stood up and pulled off my jacket and kicked off my shoes. For a
moment I wondered how far I should go, then decided to hell with it. I
pulled my shirt off over my head, then unbuckled my pants. She was
watching me, of course, and there seemed to be a hint of excitement in
her eyes. I took my pants off and saw her eyes lock on the bulge in my
shorts. I was still somewhat erect so the bulge was pronounced, to say
the least. Slowly I pulled them down and my penis, freed from
imprisonment, leaned out from the dark fluff of my pubic hair, almost at
it's maximum size though still pointing downward. There was an audible
intake of breath from her when she saw it.

     I sat down and removed my socks and crawled under the covers. In a
husky voice she said, "That was magnificent." as she reached over to
turn the light out. Then she snuggled against me, laying her head on my
arm.

     Her body was warm, almost burning, and the feel of her bare skin
next to mine and the excitement of knowing there were absolutely no
layers of clothing between us soon had me excited again. My heart
wouldn't stop pounding and my cock stood ramrod stiff and twitching. She
moved her arm up and placed her hand on my chest. "Anybody ever tell you
how attractive you are?"

     Actually, nobody had, and I said as much and I placed my free hand
on her side and moved it from shoulder to hip in a long, slow caress,
back and forth. After a moment her breathing changed pitch and became
quicker, deeper.

     Her hand caressed my chest in a similar manner and she nuzzled my
neck softly. This time there was none of the hurried frenzy of earlier.
Things were progressing smoothly and more naturally, without a word from
either one of us. I became a little more adventuresome with my
explorations, and moved my hand to cup one soft breast. I moved my hand
under it, feeling it's weight, and my thumb found her nipple, finally
bare and fully erect. I rubbed my thumb across it and a short, breathy
moan escaped her lips as she arched her back.

     Her hand moved down, raising to trail her fingers through my pubic
hair before resting lightly on my cock, sendling little twinges and
flashes of pleasure through my pelvis. I raised my hips in reponse and
she grabbed my cock almost tight enough to hurt. Almost, but not quite.
Instead it felt wonderful.

     I was now massaging her whole breast and her breath came in ragged
moans and she whole body writhed in slow, sinuous motion. I moved my
face down and extended my tongue, slowly circling it around her nipple.
Then I took it in my mouth, as much as I could, and sucked it in and out
rapidly between my teeth, and her writhing became more violent, almost
pulling away from me. My free hand, meanwhile, moved around to her back,
travelling up and down exploring freely from her neck to her ass, which
I grabbed hard when I reached it.

     Her mouth covered mine and our tongues intertwined frantically. Her
arms wrapped around me almost hard enough to squeeze the breath out of
me and my cock ground hard against her pubic fuzz. Finally her mouth
released mine only long enough to gasp, "I want you in me now!"

     I had roughly the same idea by then myself. She rolled over on her
back, more or less pulling me on top of her. I raised my hips and she
reached down to guide me into the right spot.

     With slow deliberateness I thrust my cock into her. She was so wet
and excited that it slid in with no resitance at all, until I was buried
in her as deep as I could go and I felt her fuzz tickling my lower
belly. She pressed her hips against mine for maximum penetration as her
gasps became cries.

     I did not pump but simply held myself there as her movements grew
more frantic and her cries louder. I knew if I moved too much I would
come and I wanted to enjoy this as long as I could. Instead I just moved
myself from side to side a little, pushing her even closer to the brink
as she bucked beneath me.

     "Oh God... Oh God..." she moaned, her voice getting higher and
lounder until her muscles locked and held rigid in an explosive orgasm.
The muscles of her vagina locked tight on my penis and almost against my
will I orgasmed, pumping my seed deep into the warm depths of her body
for what seemed a long, long time and intensifying her pleasure even
more, if such a thing was possible.

     We shared an endless moment of agonizing pleasure before collapsing
in an exhausted heap, with me still laying on top and buried deep within
her.

     Gasping for air and trying to regain some of our strength, we lay
like that for who knows how long. Jenny's eyes looked up into mine and
she was so achingly beautiful in the half-light streaming in from the
window. In those eyes there was no more fire (though I knew it would
soon be back) but warmth and tenderness and gratitude and... love?

     In an exhausted voice she said, "Hi there, stranger."

     In a similarly exhausted voice I replied, "Hi there yourself. Come
here often?" My unintentional double entendre sent us both into a fit of
laughter that wiped away any tension that might have remained. It felt
as if we had been lovers for years, instead of just one frantic night.
For a fleeting instant I felt a glimmer of hope that it might go on for
years...

     She spoke and interrupted my musing. "You know, it's been well over
a year since I've... been with anybody. In one short night you've made
up for all that lost time and then some. I've never experienced anything
this intense. Never."

     "I don't think I have either." I replied tiredly. "This was
incredible. Just as I had always thought it might be."

     "Yeah. Me too." She shifted a little and a wave of residual
pleasure ran though me. "Actually, I could get used to this on a... a
regular basis. I've always, um, liked you. Maybe in the near future we
could... um..."

     I shushed her quietly, "The future can take care of itself, and
perhaps we'll be in each other's. I think I'd like that myself very
much. Right now let's just enjoy the moment." She nodded silently and
relaxed.

     It was not long before my penis began to swell again, and Jenny
noticed it almost before I did for I had never pulled it out. The second
time around I was much less sensitive and lasted far longer. She
climaxed at least six times before I came again and we both collapsed,
exhausted for real, as the first light of dawn began to color the sky
outside.

     We spent most of Sunday in bed, and not from exhaustion either,
although we did exhaust each other eventually. I never did make it home
that weekend, and it was with bitter dissapointment we faced the reality
of Monday and going back to work. We dragged in together half an hour
late, disheveled and in rumpled clothes (mine were the same ones from
Saturday). I was barely choerent enough to work all day long, but not
for one second did I regret it.

     That was six months ago. We saw each other every weekend, and most
nights in between. Dianne moved out to join her new boyfriend in Oregon
City, and Jenny immediately invited me to move in with her. I didn't
waste any time packing.

     At work they don't know anything about it, because the boss frowns
heavily on employee relationships (Or any other form of fun that doesn't
increase his profits, for that matter.) but every time I walk by Jenny
or meet her in the lunch room she always favors me with a little smile
and a conspiritorial wink, which I always return.

     You know, I used to hate working nights...
