  “Well it has been a long time since someone has wanted to commission me to do paintings for them—I am flattered Toni. I sell a few out of my flower shop now and again, but this project sounds like fun” replied Helen with a bit of excitement in her voice.

  “Why don't we meet at Jenny's Java next Friday for a business lunch—at twelve?” replied Toni.

  “Okay I will see you there—it's a date—business date!”

  Both women gave a chuckle and said their goodbyes. As Helen watched Toni turn and leave, she thought about how much she loved the black color of Toni's short but thick hair and how it really made her striking green eyes stand out even more. Watching Toni strut away down the street was like eye candy to Helen, she was one beautiful lady. With that Helen turned back to her house to once again join her other guests.

  Chapter 4. Helen's 'Golden Date' Dinner Date

  It had been three weeks since Rita had set up Helen's profile on Golden Date, she was on her way to her dinner date in Burlington city, at the Jackson's Seafood restaurant. Rita had taken Helen shopping yesterday to get her a new outfit for her date, which Rita had more fun exploring the clothes shops than Helen. She settled on a light grey dress with tiny yellow flowers, and long sleeves, and a light-yellow cardigan. Helen chose a pair of grey suede shoes with a small heal. Rita tried to get Helen to go with a sexier outfit, but Helen was not interested in too much flash. Rita came over and gave her a hand with her hair—fixing it up and doing her make-up for her. Something she rarely wore, but since she was going on a date a bit of makeup seemed appropriate. She had to make it look like she put some effort into getting herself ready for her date. The man she's meeting for dinner is a recently retired fireman. He has been a widower for ten years, he lives alone in Burlington, is 57 years old with two grown and married sons, and five grandchildren. His name is Paul Shartin, he enjoys going for hikes, and loves to travel and see new sites. But now that he is on his own, he doesn't do much travelling. He is looking for a partner to share his life with that is also interested in visiting new places in the world.

  Helen and Paul had been talking with one another using Skype, giving tours to each other of their homes, and really enjoying talking with one another. Helen began to think how nice it would be to find a person that she could have a close partnership with and that they could enjoy doing some travelling together. She began to think if they would be physically attracted to one another. Helen has always felt that she was bisexual due to her relationship that she had with Erin. Not to mention knowing she has felt sexually attracted to both men and women but has lived most of her life as a straight woman. When Helen finds herself attracted to a person—she doesn't let the sex of the person stand in the way.

  She feels like she has butterflies in her stomach as she pulls into the city of Burlington, where she might be meeting her soulmate in another hour at the seafood restaurant. Helen headed first to the Marriott Hotel where she had booked a room for the evening, she got herself sorted, left her car there and called a cab to take her to the restaurant to meet up with Paul.

  They met in the lobby of the restaurant, exchanged glances, then hugged in approval of each other. The waiter took them to a very private table with an amazing view. Helen was pleased with his well-dressed manner and handsome good looks. Paul was very sensual during dinner, often touching her hand and looking straight into her eyes. Helen and Paul enjoyed their seafood dinner, but inside they both knew that this was going to be so much more than just supper. Paul begged Helen to join him for drinks at his house that was only five minutes away by cab. He too had taken a cab to the restaurant, as he planned on drinking. They were having such a good time, she did not want it to end, and she so much wanted to feel the closeness of another person's body against her own.

  They headed off in a cab to Paul's house to continue their fun there. Sitting on the couch in Paul's living room, he drew Helen in his arms and said “I have been waiting to do this ever-since I first met you on Golden Date”. He started to gently kiss Helen, and then as it became more passionate, his hands began wandering across her dress towards her breasts. As Helen began to feel more and more sexually aroused, she couldn't believe how much she missed being touched and how hot this felt to her. She was a woman filled with passion that enjoyed being physically close to another in an intimate fashion. She ran her hands over his arms that felt strong and muscular. They both wanted each other in a sexual way, this was obvious, there was no holding back at this point.

  All of a sudden Paul withdrew away from Helen, asking “Why don't we continue this in my hot tub, we can go for a skinny dip, I will get you a robe and you can change in the bedroom. I will turn the hot tub on and get us some champagne to drink while we enjoy the tub. No worries, I have no immediate neighbors, my back deck is very private. It is such a lovely night I would love to spend some time with you in the hot tub. What do you think Helen, are you into doing that?”

  “Well to be honest I can't remember the last time I was in one, the skinny-dipping part sounds like fun!” replied Helen.

  Paul rose to show her where the bedroom was and pulled out a white robe and lay it on the bed for Helen. “Okay I will leave you to get yourself ready, I will meet you in the tub” he said giving her a gentle kiss on the lips as he made his way out of the room.

  Helen was having so much fun, thinking about how wonderful she felt. Here was something that was sorely missing from her life—passion and romance! When she changed out of her clothes and put the robe on to cover her completely naked body, she felt filled with excitement and lust.

  As she made her way, Paul was already in the tub sipping a glass of champagne and sitting there butt naked. He held up another glass of champagne offering it to Helen. “Please come and join me for a glass of champagne in the tub” he replied with a sly grin towards Helen.

  She let her robe fall, landing onto the deck beside her feet. Helen began to feel so sexy standing there naked before Paul.

  “You are so much more beautiful than I had ever imagined” he said before gently putting out a hand while helping her into the tub.

  They began to kiss again this time with deeper passion in their kisses, while arms roamed over each other's wet bodies. It didn’t take long before Paul made his signature move. He moved Helen around so that she was straddling over him and facing him. Helen wasted no time by quickly mounting him and soon after he began to slowly thrust his manhood into her. The thrusting continued for quite a while until Paul began to whimper “Oh Helen, you’re so hot and sexy, I can’t hold back, I’m going to cum any time now.” They were both moaning and groaning in the middle of the sheer ecstasy of passion—when suddenly the sliding patio door opened and out walked Paul's oldest son, Kevin.

  Paul immediately went limp as all hell broke loose as Kevin began shouting at his Dad, for cheating on his mother while she was in Arizona visiting her terminally ill sister. He couldn't believe his father had brought some trash to the family home to have sex with—of course he was referring to Helen.

  Poor Helen scrambled out of the tub grabbing the robe, feeling embarrassed, humiliated, angry at Paul for lying to her. She screamed at Paul “You bastard, I hope you have the worst case of blue balls because you are not getting anymore from me!”

  She apologized to his son Kevin, trying to explain that his father had told her he was a widower. This was all being said as she quickly went to rush to the room to get her clothes on and get out of this situation as quickly as possible. She ran down the street upset and in tears. She couldn't believe that she had been so stupid and had trusted Paul. She pulled out her phone as she looked up at the street sign and called herself a cab, asking them to come as quickly as possible. There was a cab there within a few minutes, and she was quickly dropped off at her hotel.

  Helen was laying on her bed in her hotel room thinking, going on dating websites was not her cup of tea. She realized people can tell you anything and you just have to take them at their word. It’s just wishful
thinking to hope they are being 100% truthful. Helen thought of Paul's poor wife and how her husband had cheated and disrespected her, it was bad enough that he had cheated on her, but to bring the person to the home that he and his wife shared was just so wrong on so many different levels. Helen was so sad that Paul ended up being such a big loser, she really thought he was a nice guy that she could connect with, wow was she ever wrong on that call! She finally fell asleep thinking that she couldn't wait to get home and put this ordeal behind her.

  She found herself calling Toni, even though it was late—she couldn't help it, she just needed to talk to someone—and the person she wanted to talk to was Toni. She called Toni, apologizing for it being so late—but Toni was not bothered, and she was worried to hear Helen was so distressed. She told Helen she was on her way over. When she arrived, Helen greeted her at the door with a hug while she cried out her agonizing ordeal to Toni. Helen realized that night that she wanted to be close to Toni, she had been attracted to her for a long time. Toni held her in her arms on the couch comforting her. Helen looked at Toni and confessed her feelings of being attracted to her. She explained to Toni her sexual history. She told Toni about her relationship with Erin. She explained that she thought she must be bisexual—but her sexual experiences with men never seemed to truly fulfill her, she felt confused. Toni confessed her feelings were mutual towards Helen, that she too had been attracted to Helen for quite a long time. She also confessed that there was no blind date she had—she had just wanted to give Helen flowers—so she made up the story of the blind date.

  For Helen, that was all she needed to hear. She realized Toni was a beautiful lady both inside and out. She could not turn off her incredible attraction to Toni.

  “Have you ever seen my bedroom” asked Helen in a seductive manner.

  “I would love to see your bedroom” replied Toni.

  Helen led Toni by the hand into her bedroom where they both laid on the bed and immediately started kissing passionately.

  Toni then sat up to begin undressing herself. Helen watched and was amazed at the beauty before her. Her midnight black hair looked so sexy with her firm breasts and tight thin waist. To Helen’s surprise, Toni was wearing the sexiest red crotchless panties that Helen had ever seen.

  Toni then began undressing Helen with slow tender movements as she kissed and caressed her body all over. Helen responded by eagerly accepting Toni’s intimate advances.

  For their first time together, they made passionate love that was also filled with caring and tenderness. Helen felt Toni was whom she was always meant to be with, and now knew the dating service was not her cup of tea!

  Chapter 5. Girl's Trip to Wapanachee Cottage

  It was August 11th, Toni and Helen had decided to drive up together in Toni's Pickup truck that had lots of storage for their gear that they were bringing to Wapanachee cottage. Toni had packed her bright yellow kayak for the trip, she planned on doing some cruising and fishing on the lake with it. Val and Rita were driving up in Rita's Lexus. They were all meeting at Helen's house at 9am and leaving in their little convoy from there. Helen was getting herself organized making sure she had all she needed packed and ready to go. Her daughter Forest was back home, she was going to run the shop for the next couple of days until Helen returned from her “girl's trip.” Forest was really glad to see her mom going on this trip and getting away from the house and going on a bit of an adventure. She noticed that Helen had been spending a lot of time with her friend Toni, who Forest really liked. She had a feeling that her mother and Toni were in fact lovers. But her mother was not ready to come out of the closet so to speak and tell her, even though in her heart she already knew. Besides the fact that she had come home one day and looked through the front door window to see the two embraced in each other's arms, giving each other light affectionate kisses on the lips. Forest decided not to confront them, and made a loud enough entrance to warn them she was home—to save them from the embarrassment they might have felt if she had just walked in. Forest truly wanted to tell her mom that she was fine with her having an intimate relationship with Toni. She was glad to see her mother so happy again. There was comfort in knowing that when she goes back to college, her mother would not be on her own and she would have Toni to share her life with.

  Golden Dates website couldn't find Helen's soulmate because she was right here all along, right in front of her the whole time. Toni was the soulmate that Helen so wanted to find, they were so good together and they were meant to be sharing their lives. Helen was so glad that she finally made that connection to Toni, she was finally happy to have love and passion back in her life, sharing her world with Toni. Helen moved her things towards the front door, going over the check list with Forest. It was ten to nine, the others would be here any moment. “Mum, I am so glad that you are taking this trip. I want you to have the best time ever with your friends this weekend. I also want you to know that I am happy that you have found Toni, I think she is great, and I want you to know mum that I am okay with you and Toni being together—I love you mum!” The two women embraced, Helen was apologizing to Forest, but her daughter did not want apologies, she was happy that her mother had finally found the soulmate that she deserved to share her life with. The car horns started honking—the troops had arrived. Helen and Forest gave each other another last hug. “Forest, you have made me so happy and proud to be your mother—I can't tell you how much it means to me that you are okay with having Toni as part of our lives. I have been wanting to talk to you about Toni and I—I just didn't know how to approach it. Thanks, Forest, for giving us your blessing!” said Helen through teary eyes and a big grin.

  “Okay mum enough of this mushy stuff—go before your ride leaves without you—have fun I love you—call me to let me know you have arrived safe at Wapanachee cottage. Helen hurried out the door, carrying her luggage, with the help of Forest.

  Toni was standing opening the back of the truck to put in Helen's luggage. Rita and Val were sitting in her car, “come on Helen we want to get to the cottage today—let's go girl—move it—shouted Rita out her car window with a smile.”

  They loaded up and were off down the road heading towards their girl's weekend that they had been looking so forward to. It was a three-hour drive to reach the cottage, they stopped off at the “Red lodge Restaurant” just off the highway, before continuing on to Wapanachee cottage. They had about another 30 minutes or so of driving before they would arrive at Lake Morey.

  The girls were given a big welcome greeting from the awaiting hostess—Molly and their dear friend Lily. Lily ran off the deck out to the drive waving her arms in welcome and shouting “your all finally here—I can't believe it—welcome to Wapanachee cottage!” It was such a lovely spot right on the majestic lake Morey, the large main cottage along with the sweet little guest cottage right down by the water looking so picture perfect—Helen was so mesmerized by the natural and man-made beauty that surrounded her. Molly shouted out that Helen and Toni had the guest house, and the other ladies were in the main cottage with her and Lily. They decided to get their bags and other supplies in and once they were sorted they could enjoy the heavenly surroundings they found themselves in.

  “The guest house is open girls, why don't you get settled in, then join us on the back deck for a welcome drink”. All the woman agreed that this was a good game plan, Lily led her two friends, Val and Rita, into their guest rooms to unpack. Helen and Toni made their way down to the beautiful cozy little guest house by the water's edge. Inside it had a wonderful big old stone fireplace in the middle of its living room, with large windows facing out over the water, giving them a wonderful view of the lake.

  They got themselves organized and unpacked, Toni emptied their coolers of food and drink into the fridge. Helen had a feeling of inner peace that she was finally in a place where she felt totally good about herself. It was like she had found a good place in life, and that was sharing her life with her new partner Toni. She looked across the b
edroom at Toni, as she was hanging up some pieces of clothing in the closet. Toni turned toward Helen as she started sensing she was being watched. “Are you enjoying watching me hang up clothes? I would think there are better things around here to look at” she said with a slight grin towards Helen.

  “I can't think of anything more beautiful to look at” replied Helen.

  “Girl, that kind of talk will give me a swollen head—but thanks for the sweet compliment, you know your pretty easy to look at yourself—I love what I am seein” replied Toni softly.

  Toni walked across the bedroom and gently placed her arms around Helen's waist. She pulled her in towards herself and began to kiss Helen passionately. They moaned together as the desire for each other soon turned to lust. Toni took a second to catch her breath “Sweety, I need you now and I want to show you how much I love you.”

  Those words sent Helen to the moon. Suddenly the next moment, they were both on the bed with Toni undoing Helen's shirt. She then began to gingerly release Helen’s ample breasts from her bra. Toni held her breasts up and tightly squeezed them together as she started to suck on her engorged hard nipples. Helen whimpered with a deep sigh as she seductively positioned her body for Toni to explore more pleasure. She then began to slowly work her way down, pulling up Helen's skirt, and removing her panties. Toni reached down and rubbed Helen seductively between the legs while kissing her lips, as Helen moaned out in sheer pleasure. Toni then started to passionately kiss her body all over. Amidst Helen’s moaning, she went down with her tongue between Helen's legs and flicked eagerly at the wet swollen mound that presented itself. Helen began slowly rocking her hips back and forth, almost in a delirious hypnotized trance. Then as her pleasure intensified, she started pumping rapidly in and out to a point where she thought she was going to explode. She managed to hold on for as long as possible while Toni continued to tease with her tongue, but the ecstasy was unbearable. She exploded in long rapid convulsions, as she moaned and screamed Toni’s name over and over. It was the most incredible organism in a very long time. It was intensified by the deep love and passion she was feeling for Toni. As she took a few minutes to catch her breath, she realized she would never forget this beautiful love session.
