What A Relief: An Erotic Love Story

By Reese Cantwell

Ray is recovering from his wife's abrupt walkout, taking up with her boss, when he runs into Karen, another tenant in his small apartment house. She's half-again his age but invites him to dinner knowing how he's feeling, the same has happened to her. Being a nurse, she understands the loneliness that comes with a breakup and offers to comfort him in the way a woman can, even introducing him to an erotic experience she'd learned from a Japanese nurse she once worked with. Ray and Karen are soon involved more than either had imagined as we travel their journey with them from neighbors to friendship to lovers and then to love.

What a Relief

Karen and I found, after we'd both been dumped by cheating spouses, that we could provide comfort and relief to one another even though she was half-again my age. What started as an accommodation became much, much more.

Chapter One

They say that roughly fifty-percent of all marriages fail. Well, I've only been married once so that makes my percentage a hundred. Hardly anything not heard a million times before, she had an affair with her boss and he was leaving his wife and mine was going with him. You've heard it before, I'm sure.

Well, I suppose there are some good sides to what happened, first, we didn't have children. We'd talked about it, now married about five years, I was thirty, she was twenty-eight, we thought it was about time we did.

Then she quit talking about it. No, I never put it together, I just didn't.

Second, we didn't have a house. It was another thing we'd talked quite a bit about doing, even putting money aside for a down payment, going to some home builder shows, scoping out neighborhoods.

Then she quit talking about us buying or building a house. I might mention the low interest rates and she'd just change the subject. No, I never connected the dots.

How it happened wasn't so great, either.

It was after I'd gotten home from work when she came in with her boss and she stood there and told me in plain, direct words that she was now with her boss and the divorce papers had been drawn up that afternoon. Then, she said they were taking her jewelry and personal items, clothes, shoes and the like, basically everything 'female.' They left everything that was furniture, electronics, everything in the kitchen, it was really her presence that vanished that evening, leaving me with the rest.

I hope this has never happened to you, the abruptness of it all really does not help, I really don't think there's much of any way for it to happen that's not painful, especially if you're not expecting it and I wasn't.

Her boss was older, in fact, rather older, somewhere in his sixties,
