“What’s wrong with men?” Kimber Jordan asked, sounding irritated at the world.

Stacy Covey frowned at her friend, whose comment broke into the middle of Gwen’s telling of her son’s latest misadventures in life and love. “What do you mean?”

They were on their semi-annual Girls Weekend when they stepped away from their lives and became the three troublemakers again. Only these days they did not get in trouble as they had a couple decades ago, but instead spent the time catching up, advising, and consoling one another.

Stacy needed her friends’ consolation this weekend. She had broken up with yet another man of “an appropriate age” who had claimed to be a lonely widower looking for the last love of his life. When his answers began to contradict one another, Stacy did an Internet search and found out the lying SOB had a criminal record for assault and battery, rape and DWIs, and three ex-wives in addition to a current one.

Once again, her faith in the male half of the species had been soundly shaken.

Would she ever meet the right man? Her list of wants and needs were simple.

She needed a man to love her.

A man she could trust with her heart, her body, and her soul.

She needed man who would not hurt her.

“Why is it men our age and older feel the overwhelming urge to chase after sweet young things? What’s wrong with us? None of us look like we’re forty. We’re not dried-up old crones, and we’re all successful in our own right.”

Stacy stared at Kimber with concern. She knew they were all alone and lonely for male companionship, but it sounded like her friend had done what she’d been threatening to do for years—jump off the cliff into the pit of Crazy.

“Well, if they can do it, why can’t we?” Kimber continued after a few seconds.

“What are you saying, Kimber? You want to start dating boys my son’s age?” Gwen Ford, the third member of the trio, asked after taking a long drink from her large strawberry daiquiri.

“Maybe not that young, but I’m just saying I’m tired of being proper. I’m tired of waiting for an appropriate man to fall at my feet. I think it’s time we were bad. And if dating younger men makes me bad, then okay, I’ll be a cougar and a bad girl.”

Stacy smiled when she started to understand where Kimber was heading with her rant. She agreed with her friend. If men their age lusted after, dated, hell, even married women half their ages, why could not they as women look at the younger generation for a change? Then another thought hit her.

“And younger men have stamina and the ability to get it up more than once a week,” she added with a very un-forty-like giggle.

“Stacy!” Gwen sounded outraged for a few seconds. Then she turned to look at Kimber “So, how young are we talking?”

She sounded hesitant and skeptical. But that was Gwen’s way. While Kimber was the creative one and the ringleader of the trio, Gwen was the voice of reason and sanity. Stacy was the practical one. She was happy to follow wherever adventurous Kimber led, but would be sure to pack a GPS and a picnic lunch, just in case they got lost along the way.

Needing more information about being a cougar, Stacy reached into her jeans’ pocket and pulled out her do-everything-but-make-breakfast phone that was many times smarter than she was. After doing a search, she went to the first website that looked like it offered the information she was looking for.

Squinting at the tiny screen, she read aloud, “Cougars are older, usually successful woman who date younger men.”

“Yeah, we got that part already. Isn’t there some formula or rule about how young a younger man is appropriate and how young is jailbait?” Kimber asked, sounding more impatient than normal.

“Hang on.” Stacy kept scrolling down the website. “Okay, here it is. The rule for true cougars is to date no younger than half your age plus seven years. So in our case we’re talking”—she paused a second to do the math—“twenty-seven.”

“Twenty-seven?” Gwen squeaked and visibly shivered with distaste. “That’s a hell of a lot closer to Grant’s age than mine. There’s no way I can look at anyone that young.”

“So, how young would you be willing to go?” Stacy asked as she slipped the phone back into the front left pocket of her blue jeans.

“Um, well, I’ve never thought about going younger. I’ve always dated older men.”

“Well, think about it,” Kimber encouraged, trying but failing to sound gentle and encouraging. “Just remember a younger man will be better able to handle your power surges.”

“Yeah, then maybe you won’t blow through vibrators as fast as you do,” Stacy teased with a giggle.

Gwen blushed and dropped her head forward. “Why did I ever tell you guys about that?”

She began to giggle. Kimber joined in a few seconds later. They continued laughing until they had to wipe tears from their cheeks.

Once she had regained control, Stacy answered her friends question seriously. “Because we have been best friends since the second day of seventh grade and you tell us everything.”

They had stood up at each other’s weddings.

When she had shown up at one of their gatherings ten years earlier with a black eye, split lip, and three broken ribs thanks to her ex-husband’s displeasure at her going away for the weekend, Gwen and Kimber spent the weekend tending her injuries while convincing her she had to get out, divorce the rat bastard, and start over.

When Gwen’s husband dropped dead from an aneurysm while doing yard work on Saturday afternoon, she called them with the news before calling her family.

When Kimber had left the advertising world to follow her dream of being an artist, she and Gwen were the only ones who applauded her decision. They also helped her survive her husband walking out on her shortly afterward.

Stacy was closer to these two women than she was to her own family, even if she only saw them twice a year.

Finally Gwen said, “Thirty. I don’t think I can go any younger than thirty.”

Kimber nodded and turned to her. “Sounds good. Stacy? What about you? How young are you willing to go?”

Stacy smiled wistfully, her pussy clenching at the thought of a young hard cock filling it without the need of little blue pills or other artificial aids. She knew she looked younger than her age, but her heart and soul had been scarred, not only by her ex-husband, but also every man she had occasionally dared to date over the last ten years. Would a younger man treat her differently? Could someone younger love her?

Finally, she answered from her heart. “I don’t care how young or old he is as long as he treats me right and makes me laugh. How about you?”

Kimber hesitated about three seconds before saying, “Whatever it takes. My biggest challenge will be actually meeting someone. Sometimes working at home in my pajamas isn’t all the glory that it could be. Especially when you live in a town full of retirees.”
