I got home right after Richard. I?d called and told him I?d be gone, but not why or where. When I pulled up in Walt?s Jeep, he said, ?Oh, that explains why your truck is here and you weren?t. Where?s Walt??I opened the door and the two dogs came flying out as one, doing a happy dance around Richie before running off toward the woods. I hugged my husband, thankful he was so healthy, then told him about Walt. He listened quietly, but I could see the concern in his eyes.?But he?s going to be ok, right? I mean, if they caught it early enough it hadn?t spread???Probably, yes, but that?s not what he?s so worried about, or even the surgery itself. I mean, think about it.?He did for a moment, before shaking his head. ?Yeah, that?s going to fuck him up. Damn, I hate that for him, it just sucks. Work your ass off most of your life and then when you can relax and enjoy yourself, something like this.??It does suck. He was very down about it; I?ve never seen anything get him down like that, you know??Richie smiled. ?No, he?s about the least down guy I know, especially considering that he lost his wife and all. Nothing else bothers him? well, that?s not entirely true. I have seen him get pissed off a few times.??About what??He shrugged. ?Nothing. Inanimate things, a piece of equipment or something that doesn?t work, won?t cooperate.??We all do that. He did seem a little pissed off at a couple of points while we were talking.??Because of the unfairness of it??I sat on the front step and held my hand up to him, and he took it and sat beside me. ?No, he never used that word. He?s old school, one of those people that doesn?t expect life to be fair. He knows it?s not.??True. Things he says, he feels like you make your way, your own fairness. So what was he pissed about, could you tell???I think? it seemed like he was afraid, and the fact that he was afraid, that it?s something he can?t control, that what got to him. He was angry because of his fear.??I thought you said he wasn?t afraid of it spreading, or the surgery.??He wasn?t, I don?t think. He was afraid of not being a man anymore.?Richie frowned. ?That?s crazy!??Is it? Think about it; he?s looking at possibly being unable to get it up, no more sex, maybe unable to control his bladder. He made some crack about a limp dick and having to wear a diaper like a baby, said they warned him it could even make his cock smaller."?Bullshit! I never heard of that? He told you all this though, huh??I nodded. ?Not at first, but he gradually opened up. He said that?s what the doctor told him, anyway. If that was you, wouldn?t it beat the crap out of your sense of yourself, out of your masculinity???Fuck? yeah, I?m sure it probably would. No guy wants to hear all that kind of shit.??No. It?s like a woman that has to have a mastectomy, I guess. It changes how you see yourself, your whole identity, what it means to be a woman or a man.??You think???Wouldn?t it, Richie? I mean, it?s much less disfiguring and he doesn?t have to look at the results in the mirror every day like a woman would. For guys with this, it?s mostly all internal but it?s going to be on his mind? these are some of the things that make up our feminine or masculine persona, right???Wearing a fucking catheter isn?t internal. Neither is a cock that won?t get hard. Fuck! It would mess with my head, I?m sure, and Walt?s a very masculine guy, so??I smiled and squeezed his hand. ?So are you, babe, even if you do fuck other men or take it up the ass occasionally.?He grinned. ?Thanks, I think.? Now he laughed out loud. ?Hey, speaking of masculine men, did I tell you he?s fucking two different women now???Walt? No!? I?d known about Marie, a woman a few years younger than him, a divorcee that runs a café in Poncha Springs, but... ?Was he bragging about it or something???No, more like he couldn?t quite believe it. Humble brag, maybe.?I laughed. ?Yeah, that?s Walt; he doesn?t realize what a hunk he is.? I?d found it hilarious when he?d first brazzers hooked up with Marie, a bit over a year after his wife had died and shortly after we?d met. He?d seemed utterly bewildered, first when she?d started hitting on him when he was in eating at her place and maybe even more so later after they?d started having sex and she?d made him understand that it was all she wanted, a friend and a good fuck from time to time. She wasn?t looking for a serious relationship beyond the bedroom, and he was quite discombobulated by that.He?d blushed crimson when I said, ?Well, great, at least you?re getting your knob polished regularly, right?? and I?d laughed until tears ran down my cheeks. He?d joined in eventually. Now this same modest guy was seeing two women??Who?s the other one? Anyone we know???I don?t think so. She works at the High Country Bank in Salida, a widow, I think he said. Oh, and get this ? she hit on him first too!??You sexy guys probably have that problem, huh? Happens to you a lot, I?ll bet.?Richie snorted. ?Oh, yeah, I have to beat them off with a stick.?I laughed. ?Is she older, younger????About his age, I guess.??Lucky Walt, a lot of horny single women around here!?He draped his arm over my shoulder and squeezed my boob. ?And lucky for me there are some horny married ones too, huh??I put my hand on his crotch. ?Yes, that is lucky for you. But no wonder he?s so upset by all this. I mean, if he wasn?t sexually active it would still be devastating, but with two hot, horny chicks???Yeah, that?s a lot of pressure.??Well, yeah? shouldn?t be, but I?m sure he feels that way.? I shook my head. ?I wonder if he?s told either of them and if they?ll be understanding and willing to help him, you know, with the changes.?Richie shrugged. ?Dunno. You?d hope so, at least one of them.?I nodded. ?Yeah, that would be good. I did tell him that we?d be happy to help him.??With the sexual stuff???No... jeez! Around the house, chores and stuff while he recovers. He?s going to be in a lot of pain at first, and then can?t do much for several weeks, while he?s recovering, to avoid reinjuring himself. I told him whatever he needed, we?re there.??Oh, absolutely! He?s done so much for us, it?s the least we can do.??I knew you?d feel that way.?He was quiet for a while, and we sat together enjoying the view and the fresh air. I realized that his mind had been churning quietly the whole time when he said, ?You know, we could move him in here for a few weeks. We could move our stuff to one of the upstairs bedrooms temporarily; let him have ours so he wouldn?t have to climb the stairs constantly.??You?re amazing, my love! I don?t know if he?d go along with that, but it?s a wonderful idea.??I thought so too; sometimes I dazzle myself with my brilliance.??I love that you?re so humble.??One of my many, many excellent traits, humility.? He smiled. ?And our room has the master bathroom right there too since he?ll be dealing with all the pissing issues.??He?ll have that catheter, at least for a while. It?s what he said.??So he?ll still have to empty the bag and all, right? Keep things sterile and so on? It just strikes me that he may be bathroom intensive at first.??You?re right, that would be better. Easier for us too, since we won?t be running back and forth to his place? Maybe that?s how I should try to sell it to him, making it easier for us.?Richard grinned. ?And this is why we make such a good team.??So, brilliant teammate, would you like a blowjob???Just for being brilliant???Yes ? and because I love giving blowjobs.??Have you ever known me to turn down an offer like that??So that?s what we did, and then, after he tried to drown me in cum and knowing I?d be dripping wet from sucking him, he returned the favor. Ultimately I won because I got a huge mouthful of cum and three orgasms to his one, but he seemed pretty happy with the outcome too. We were still hungry after that, so we had dinner, watched a little TV, and went cuckold porno to bed, where Richie held me while I cried for our friend, my worry and love for him surprising me by coming out like that.While neither of us is deeply religious we each said a prayer for him; we figured even if it didn?t help, it couldn?t hurt. I didn?t sleep well that night, despite the wonderful orgasms Richie had provided.***I was on pins and needles the next day, waiting for a call. We have a landline at the house because cell service is so bad in the hills, and I kept my cell phone close when I went into town. It rang as I pulled into a parking place at work and I fumbled to answer it.The caller said, ?Is this Rayne???Yes, it is.??Good morning. I?m Eve Bartlett, your father?s surgical nurse, and he asked me to call you after the surgery was completed.?He?d listed me as his daughter. I was touched but realized he?d probably done so to have them more readily contact me with information. ?Is he ok? How did everything go???He?s doing fine. We just finished up a short time ago and he?s currently in recovery, but we didn?t encounter any difficulties.??The cancer????The good news is that it appeared to be confined to his prostate and hadn?t spread. We removed the gland, and the doctor feels very good about the outcome and the prognosis. He was able to spare most of the surrounding nerves, which should help your father to recover more rapidly.??Oh, thank God! Will he be able to function fully, the incontinence and all???There?s no way to be certain, only time will tell, but this is about the best possible outcome so we?re hopeful. He?ll have to wear a catheter for a while and will almost certainly suffer some incontinence after, but it shouldn?t be forever. It usually takes longer for any erectile dysfunction to improve.??Oh. Well, I'm so glad it went well, that?s great to hear, thank you. Will I be able to talk to him??She laughed softly. ?He?s totally out of it now, still coming out from the anesthesia. I?d wait until this evening, maybe, but even then he?ll be on strong painkillers so he may be a bit loopy.?Loopy. Clearly a technical medical term. ?Do you know what room he?ll be in???I don?t? is this your cell?? When I told her it was, she promised to text me his room number, and I thanked her and disconnected. I immediately called Richard.?Hi, Hon?. I just heard from the hospital, everything went well and Walt is in recovery.??Oh, thank God!? I could hear the relief in his voice. ?Did they get it all???They feel like they did. Everything was confined to the gland itself, and they took it out. She said most of the nerves were ok, so that?s good too, I guess. Still biopsies, lab results, and stuff, but they?re optimistic.??Excellent! The old boy may live to ride again.?I laughed. ?You?re tacky, but I hope so.??Probably his confidence is going to need as much repair as anything. Rayney, on that note, do you remember when you were telling me yesterday about needing to help him, and I asked if you meant the sexual stuff???I remember; I said no.??I got to thinking, and that might not be the worst thing you could do.??What? You?re joking, right?? He?d sounded deadly serious, but it was such an outlandish suggestion! I?d been attracted to Walt from the beginning and more so once we found out what an amazing man he was, and yes, there was a sexual component to it. He?s a very sexy man physically, and so smart and kind and with a great sense of humor, but I'd have never tried to act on it, and didn?t know if he felt the same toward me. I mean, he?d compliment me on my clothes, or my hair, or my butt occasionally, but I think he would be shocked at the idea of the two of us being sexually involved in any way.Richie paused, then said, ?No, I?m serious! I mean, c?mon? he likes you and he trusts you enough that he confided in you and told you how he felt about all this, and it?s a very personal thing. I know he czech porno thinks you?re cute as a bug?s ear, because he?s said so, and he probably fantasizes about you. Most men would, you know, and you?re sexy and hot, which should help... well, you know. With the obvious, him feeling arousal...??Thanks, you?re sweet, but Richard, he didn?t really open up to me, he just sort of hinted at his feelings. He couldn?t hide the anger and fear, the sadness, so that came through? wait ? he thinks I?m cute as a bug?s ear? He never said that to me. And I?m not sure if that?s a compliment or not anyway!??He said it to me, and from someone of his generation, it?s a compliment. He watches you sometimes and always tells me what a lucky man I am.??That just shows how wise he is, along with being sexy.? Richie laughed. ?Still? it?s a crazy idea, and I think Walt would freak out if we suggested it. You?re incredibly sweet and thoughtful to think of it, though. Offering to let your wife help a friend, another man through sexual health issues would never cross the mind of most guys.??Yeah, probably stupid, but I?m glad you?re not offended by it. You took it in the spirit I intended like I hoped you would. I know you care for him, and he knows that you'd be understanding because you know what he's going through.??I do, and it?s who you are, Richie; you?re very empathetic? for a man. And we?ve shared with Seth, and Ernie, and sometimes even with Jason and his third leg, so we both know that we?re ok with me fucking other guys.? (Our friend Jason is the star of my ?I Like Big Cocks? story, so I won?t explain him here.)He chuckled. ?I love it when you talk dirty! But with Walt, I think it would be in how you approach it. Talking about it would freak him out, yeah, but if you had the chance for it to just sort of happen? organically.??We?re talking about months from now, Richard, if ever. Maybe a year???There are a million things he can still do, even if he can?t get it up for a while. He needs to think about that and not become a monk.??A million? You?ve been holding out on me! I?ll want a full demonstration, mister ? but anyway, I don?t think he?d be interested in a threesome. I have never had any hint of him being bi.??You never had any idea I was either.??True. Walt is very old-school though. I don?t think???It?s ok, Rayney, I?m not thinking of being involved. Not at first, anyway, that would just need to be you and him, I think. You could help him figure it out, get his confidence back? work through any issues. Remind him that when you fall off the horse, you just have to get back on.?I laughed. ?Very clever, and a great metaphor for him too; he?d understand that. With any luck, one of his two lady friends will offer that service. That would be more natural for him if he?s determined enough to deal with it.??Just a thought. In case the issue comes up, I wanted you to know I was ok with it.??You?re amazing.?He laughed. ?I know.??There?s that humility again.??Indeed. See you in an hour or so, babe, and thanks for letting me know the good news on Walt.??Sure. Love you.? I felt like a weight had been lifted off me. I was still worried about Walt, how his recovery would go, and how he?d deal with the many challenges, but the fact that the surgery had gone as well as could be expected was great news.I was astonished by my husband?s idea, but the more I thought about it the more I became intrigued. It appealed to me based on the concept of helping a friend heal and find his life again, and I could offer him that, but I?d be lying if I didn?t admit that it also appealed to me sexually. I?ve often found older men very attractive, and Walt, with his rugged good looks, blue eyes, and powerful masculinity, not to mention his sweet, loving nature, certainly hit the "sexy older man" bull?s eye for me.I found myself becoming mildly aroused at the idea of being with Walt sexually, but I paused to remind myself that he might have no interest. And, that even if he did and could get past the hurdles of our age difference and me being married to Richard, it would still be months, at least, before he was likely to be ready to venture back into the world of his sexuality. That was sad, but it was reality.
