Tina was furious and spoke out immediately about what she had seen and heard.

Vic had been making his way home when a woman had asked him for directions, but she had responded to Vic's apology for being unable to help her with a tirade of abuse.

"Are you OK?" Tina asked Vic after she had given a few choice words of her own to the woman who had been abusive to him.

Vic assured Tina he was fine and expressed his gratitude for her support.

"I was doing her a favour. She'd have ended up more lost than she was already if she'd relied on my guidance; let's say such matters aren't my strongest suit." Vic explained honestly before introducing himself, prompting Tina to do likewise.

When Vic invited Tina to have coffee with him, he did so out of politeness rather than expecting her to accept. One of Tina's reasons for her decision was that something suggested to her Vic had been more affected by events than he was admitting to.

Vic explained to Tina a little about the issues that made certain aspects of his life problematic, using his usual light-hearted approach. He had done this many times before, and it was a part of life he had become used to.

"I'm very stubborn and determined when something matters to me, and as you found out, I'm not shy when it comes to speaking my mind. Actually, I'm not shy about much at all, really," Tina explained.

To her own surprise, Tina found herself telling Vic about the most recent example of how she sometimes forgot that not everyone was as forthright as she was.

"I'd been complaining to someone about how stressful my day had been. They felt sorry for me and asked me what I did to unwind after dealing with crisis after crisis. I was just getting to the best part when I realised I was discussing my orgasms and what I did to encourage them with a complete stranger," Tina said with a giggle, feeling entirely relaxed about her latest episode of straight-talking.

Tina's story made Vic laugh out loud, and he was still doing so as he and Tina sat down for the coffee he had invited her to enjoy with him. Vic felt Tina's account needed a suitable response.

"Count yourself lucky; I read somewhere that some crackpot in America is trying to ban we men from such escapism. I'm not the protest banner-waving or chaining myself to railings type, as a rule, but if I ever felt like choosing a hill to die on, I'm not sure I'd need to look any further," Vic said, making Tina laugh a little louder than she had expected to.

"When I left work, I'd expected to be at home by now and staring at a pile of ironing, and here I am chatting about much nicer ways to pass an evening," Tina said, causing Vic to turn as many heads as Tina had done with his own noisy laughter.

Tina and Vic wanted to enjoy their coffee, so they steered the topic of conversation elsewhere to avoid being asked to leave the cafe. Their attempts to change the subject weren't entirely successful.

"Small talk is great, but it doesn't seem as satisfying when you've had something else put into your head, and you can't shake it off," Tina whispered.

"Ask me nicely, and I might let you shake it off. It's got to be more fun than ironing," Vic replied.

Encountering Vic in the manner she had done made Tina find the situation even more amusing than she would have done otherwise. Finding someone as determined not to take life seriously as she was also felt like a welcome intervention of fate.

As Tina pondered the unexpected pleasure of meeting someone on a similar wavelength, her thoughts were distracted in a way they were sometimes when she was feeling relaxed and happy. Once again, these notions brought a giggle and much more as they appeared.

"I was just imagining the protest march about the ban. I saw myself holding a banner up with a couple of vibrators attached instead of poles," Tina explained.

With a mouthful of coffee up his nose, Vic decided Tina's suggestion that it was time to move on sounded like a good one.

Tina explained her flat was only a ten-minute walk away, and she and Vic didn't try to pretend anything else was on their minds than was obvious. Tina felt sure whatever happened would be filled with laughter, and she was almost as fond of that as she was of other ways to unwind that had cropped up in conversation.

"I'm curious. Where exactly are you inside your head when it's down to your imagination?" Tina asked as she and Vic walked to her flat. Vic smiled at the question and felt it needed a full and honest answer.

"I can place myself anywhere in the world I've been to in my head and also revisit any experience I've had. To some people, being able to remember where you are, why, and where you put things might be more useful, but they're not me. Where are you?" Vic asked, giving Tina the opportunity to answer her own question.

Tina felt Vic's reply revealed she had even more in common with him than she had thought beforehand, and her response to her own question brought Vic to a similar conclusion.

"In my fantasies, I'm in my happy spaces. The world's opinion doesn't matter while I'm there, and being myself is good enough for anyone who's present in them. If that sounds vague, it's because I'm waiting for something to happen that will make everything more concrete," Tina said, her anticipation heightened with each step she and Vic took.

"You might have a couple more hands-free than usual this time, depending on how you think I can be of use," Vic replied, bringing an instant smile of understanding and approval to Tina's face.

"I feel suddenly impatient to get home!" Tina shouted, keen for Vic to know she found his idea of putting the fate of her pleasure in his hands very appealing.

The ease with which their playful banter flowed reminded Vic and Tina of their good fortune in being thrown together in the way they had been. Part of the joy was being able to express their thoughts while feeling confident that their expectations for what lay ahead were realistic and shared.

When Tina announced they had reached her home, Vic was pleased to see her looking as happy as he did. They might not have been about to recreate an older version of supreme athletic endeavour, but their level of excited anticipation was a match for any felt by others on the verge of spending time with someone cheekily and unexpectedly.

"So, tell me what you can see in that imagination of yours," Tina asked after she had led Vic to her bedroom, and they had begun to undress.

"To be fair, the reality of everything that's happening is a match for anything I could dream up," Vic said as Tina glanced at his aroused cock with a giggle.

"Perfect answer!" Tina replied as she passed Vic the vibrator she had chosen for him to use, having already fired it up onto her favourite setting.

Tina wanted a shared experience, but she understood Vic's request to start his own work first; Vic knew his limitations. He wasn't at all afraid to voice them, and Tina knew Vic had spoken up for her benefit rather than his own.

"I've got a second toy here, too, so maybe you can help with that if I feel it will get us where we need to be," Tina said, voicing her proposed amendment as soon as the idea had come into her head.

Tina's revised plan saw her stand at the side of the bed as Vic slid the second toy Tina had produced between her buttocks.

Tina giggled as she felt the vibrator just where she wanted it to be and sighed appreciatively as Vic eased it gently inside her. Having Vic on hand to bring this extra treat was a wonderful way to help things work in the way she hoped, and Tina was in no rush to move on whatsoever.

"Thank you, playmate," Tina whispered, turning to show Vic her huge grin.

As Vic moved the vibrator inside Tina's body, he made sure she knew this was as much of an erotic treat for him as it clearly was for her. Tina hadn't expected otherwise, but hearing Vic explain it to her was as pleasing as everything else that was happening.

Tina was more than happy to let Vic continue with his work between her buttocks but was torn between this and what else had been planned. Other parts of her body were now screaming out for their promised attention, and Tina also wanted to make sure she and Vic shared the sweetest moment that she already felt was guaranteed.

"My clit is begging for a turn, Vic, and I don't want to make her angry," Tina giggled as she busied herself, switching on the second of her toys before turning to face Vic and passing it to him.

Vic stood in front of Tina, and they gazed contentedly at each other. As she felt the tip of the newly introduced toy making contact with her eager, wet lips, Tina gasped and eased a kiss onto Vic's mouth with laughter.

Tina fought her urge to seize Vic's cock and chose to run her fingers over his chest instead. The sensations brought by the vibrator were wonderful, but not for the first time; Tina's mind was full of ideas on what she thought might make something very good even better.

"I want your fingers inside me when I come, Vic. When I start working on you, I'd like you to finish the job on me personally," Tina said excitedly.

Vic nodded to show Tina he understood, and he began watching carefully for the signal she had told him to look out for.

Tina was an expert in managing her own arousal, but in Vic's hands, she could only advise him on how to maximise and prolong her pre-climax pleasure. Vic's attention was very focused, meaning he was able to react instantly once Tina knew she was close.

"Full throttle now," Tina shouted as she nodded to Vic and wrapped her fingers around his cock.

However aroused she had felt before, feeling Vic's similar excitement and hearing him gasping for breath just made everything more intense for Tina. When Vic slid out the vibrator and slipped his fingers inside her body, it was a different kind of special; it was personal, and Tina took Vic's cock, and began pulling and stroking it with erotic urgency,

Vic drove his fingers into Tina's body, a sense of his own impending climax making him desperate to help Tina to hers; it was all wonderfully clumsy, uncoordinated, and raw. It was also enormous fun.

"Oh, my giddy aunt," Tina screamed as Vic's cock sent a stream of cum over her body and sparked a climax within it that was unexpectedly powerful.

Tina and Vic pulled and plunged wildly on each other as the sounds of their moans, groans, laughter, and squeals of release echoed around the bedroom. Beaming smiles and flushed faces were just more evidence of the intensity of the shared climax, and nothing was going to get in the way of enjoying every second of it.

Tina's attempts to voice her excitement produced no coherent words, just a continuous stream of incomprehensible sounds. Vic's grunts, groans, and sighs were similarly devoid of meaning, but as with Tina's sounds, they said everything.

Every time Tina felt a new phase of her climax, she was astonished at what had been stirred within her. Vic, too, was equally bemused as Tina's touch continued to give him the pleasure of orgasm, even when left with sensation alone to signal it.

As Tina rocked her head on Vic's shoulder, she felt tears of joy against her hot cheeks and heard the sound of her racing heartbeat in her ears. Vic's mind was in the kind of turmoil he wanted to last forever, and the shared disbelief at what had been created was a reality neither of those responsible for it wanted to end.

The pleasure of what had been shared meant that Tina and Vic continued to enjoy its erotic consequences, even after they had slipped their touch from each other's bodies; they did so instead with their lips as one in a sensuous kiss that said more than any words that had ever existed could have done. Would the world grasp two fifty-somethings feeling the way they did? Doubtful at best. Did either of them care? Not in the slightest.

Vic and Tina were both delighted that the other had wanted to celebrate their erotic escape with the kisses, laughter, and tight embrace they enjoyed. It was the reality of Vic howling at the onset of cramp that brought it to a close, and that this provoked fits of giggles seemed so fitting for something with fun so central to it.

"We were fantastic, weren't we?" Tina said once she felt the moment to speak had arrived.

"Not bad, but there's a few things I'm sure I can improve on, given the chance.

It wasn't the way anyone had ever asked her for a second date before, but Tina said 'yes' anyway, just in case Vic was in any doubt. She certainly wanted one.
