I [F]42 had an affair with the guy my daughter had a crush on [M]24

A few years ago we had a 24 guy, Carlo, who worked on our garden twice a week.

My youngest daughter, Paige, was 16 at the time and she was in love with him. During the summer, while she was off school and the weather was nice, she would lay out on the patio in progressively skimpier bikini’s, doing her best to attract his attention.

I asked Carlo a couple of times if she was bothering him, but he was always gracious and polite, said it was no problem.

In fairness, Carlo was gorgeous. Tall, dark, handsome, broad shoulders, muscular. On particularly hot days he would remove his shirt and show off his perfect abs.

Sometimes I would put on a bikini and join Paige to enjoy the sun, and her annoyance at my presence was an amusing bonus.

Eventually, her summer holidays ended and Paige had to go back to school. The first Friday after she went back, it was a gorgeous day. I showered, rubbed sun cream all over my naked body, then I put on a sluttier bikini than I would if my daughter was present – a blue strapless number with a thong bottom – and went out back to enjoy the late summer sun. Carlo smiling widely as he said hello to me.

[FM] Weekend retreat

FYI I’m 45, 5’6”, athletic, 36-D bust (not natural) with black pixie cut hair, brown eyes, tanned skin.

I booked a couple of days in a fancy spa hotel with my husband, Spencer, months ago. He agreed to it at first, but as the time crept closer I got the sense he wasn’t as excited as I was about it, and I got suspicious that he’d try and get out of it.

Sure enough, shit hit the fan on some project or other at his company and he suddenly had to work through the weekend (up close and personal with his pretty new PA, I’m sure). He told me to bring one of our Daughters or one of my girlfriends, but none of them could get time off from work or find childcare or get out of whatever they had planned at such short notice, so instead of trying to reschedule for a time when Spencer was free, I took the hint and went on my own.

I got there Friday afternoon, checked in and went down to the spa. I hit the gym, spent an hour working out, then I changed into a bikini to go for a quick swim and relax in the sauna/steam room/jacuzzi.
