Miranda had been rambling about disappointing relationships. She was twenty and experiencing measures of life's disillusions. "Granny, it must have been much simpler when you were growing up," she sighed. "I mean, moral codes were so strict. Everybody just got married and stayed married. It was the answer to everything." Iris Whiteside smiled indulgently, realising the patronising content was not intentional. "It wasn't that simple at all," she replied mildly. CIRCA 1939: Age 20: Iris rode the horse quietly along the trail through the woods, allowing it to pick its own careful way. She had hours and hours to spare with a blanket, a book, and a picnic basket. Kenneth had been away at Officer Training Camp for more than a week and would not get leave for another fortnight, and the few days she was spending at Aunt Sarah's house were blissfully peaceful. She'd been married less than six months and life was still hectic. And the war was coming. Who knew when such peaceful sunny days might come again? The horse walked into a clearing where three men sat on a tree trunk drinking tea from a thermos flask. The tree had been freshly felled. The men wore trousers, heavy boots, and singlets. Shirts hung loosely from the branches of shrubs. "Hello," said one of them loudly and cheerfully. "What have we here? Bless me, I think it's Lady Godiva." She'd dressed for her own company and her hair hung long over her shoulder and down her back. She was wearing a straw hat, jodhpurs, riding boots, and a man's white shirt far too large. She sat high in the saddle and eyed the men warily. Two were young, around her age, and the other somewhat older, perhaps in his mid-thirties. All were tall and strong, their demeanour open and friendly. "A cup of hot strong tea, miss? There's plenty to spare." A polite refusal took shape in her mouth. These men did not appear harmful but they were strangers nonetheless. She would ride on to her quiet rendezvous with herself. But no, she wouldn't. "That sounds nice," she said, and climbed down from the horse. One of the men emptied his cup into a bush and wiped it clean with his shirt. He filled it with steaming brown tea and handed it to her, indicating she should take a seat on the fallen trunk. She sipped at the cup and wondered why she had not ridden by. "You're not from around here," said the older man. "Visiting relatives at Temple Station," she said, looking up at him standing tall in front of her. He nodded. "Going on a picnic?" She smiled. "Well, a nice place to rest and read." He gestured broadly with his hand. "This is a nice place." She squinted up at the sky. "Too shady. I was hoping for more sun." "We can fix that," said the tallest of the three of them. "See that tree? The one that's casting all the shade? It's coming down because we want the timber. Ever seen a big tree come down?" She shook her head, holding the cup in both hands. "Would you like to?" She found she did. She wanted to see these three big men fell the big tree. "Right," said the older man, looking pleased. "Let's go to it, lads." They picked up long axes with big heads and sharp twin blades. Two of them swung and chipped at the trunk rhythmically. It was a team effort and she watched keenly as their muscles rippled across their shoulders. One man dropped out and the resting man took his place. Wedges of timber flew and a great bite appeared quickly in the stout trunk as the three men attacked it in perfect harmony. They stopped briefly, wiping their brows and grinning at her, and set upon the trunk from the opposite side. She finished the tea and watched, enthralled, as they swung and sunk their axes deep into the timber, the sound of it as measured and steady as a beat of music. "She's ready to go," shouted the older man. "Watch it now, miss." The three of them pushed and strained against the trunk with their arms and shoulders, and it creaked and groaned, toppling slowly and then with a great swishing rush as it crashed thunderously into the undergrowth. They turned as one and looked at her expectantly. She clapped her hands, thrilled with it. "Gosh," she said. "That really was exciting." Sunlight flooded through the yawning gap of the canopy above. "There's your sunny bright clearing," one of them said. Indeed it was, but she looked at him doubtfully. "Don't worry, it's all yours," he said. "We're moving on and we'll swing by here tomorrow with the lorry and saw this fellow up for hauling." "There's just the matter of payment," said the older man. She looked at him, puzzled. "For this beautiful clearing and our honest hard work, I think one small kiss each from a pretty young lady would be just about perfect." All three of them laughed heartily. She could decline. Without awkwardness. Their manner suggested they would accept it without grudge. She knew she should decline. On her own, way out here, three strangers. No matter how pleasant they were, it was acutely dangerous. Of course she had to decline. But no, she wouldn't. "That sounds fair," she said, and removed her hat as she stood up to be kissed. The older man held out his arms and she moved within them, face uptilted. The skin of her belly fluttered. She was, she realised, excited to the point of eagerness. She had, she realised, been excited at a level of agitation for some time. His mouth came down on hers and he held her tightly in arms that radiated heat and strength. Her senses were assaulted. The taste of tobacco, the smell of sweat, the firmness of a broad and hairy chest. She blinked in the sunlight when he withdrew his mouth and let her go, losing her bearings. She was enclosed by the next man, the youngest one. She could tell by the stiff moustache that bristled under her nose as their mouths met. His thighs pressed into her and she pressed back with her abdomen, involuntarily. Out and away, head spinning, and into the arms of the tall one. He put his hand around her waist and lifted her into the air mid-kiss. She stood back from them, breathing deeply. The air had gone still and the light from the sun had yellowed. Her skin prickled. More. It wasn't enough. Do it again. She stood still, waiting, arms limp at her sides, her eyes flicking uncertainly from face to face. Suddenly the tall one stepped forward and took her arm. "Just one more for the road," he said softly, and she bent her head up to him. He kissed her and she kissed him back eagerly. His big hand pressed her left breast gently and she thrust against it, aching for a closer touch. Another man replaced him, the older one. She heard herself making small noises in her throat. His fingers were working at the buttons of her shirt and she could feel the hard bulge of his erection against her stomach. The third man, moustache brushing her face, stepped in, slid his hands into her shirt, and cupped her breast in the silvery brassiere. Her whole body was like slowly flowing molten lava. Once more she stood alone. She looked down herself and found she was swaying slightly. The shirt gaped open, unbuttoned to the waist and her breasts pointed in the shape of the stitched bra cups. She looked up at the faces of the three men. "Missy, take it off," one of them said, almost whispering. Oh God. It had come to this. She was going to have sex. No doubt. It was going to happen. She was shocked, appalled, terrified, and thrilled in equal fragments. She was certainly going to advance beyond the three different men she had known in her life. By how many, she was not at all sure. Her hands shook as she tugged the shirt free and eased it off. "Take it all off," one of them said. She nodded, because she knew she would do it anyway, now or very soon. She looked down at the ground because she was too terrified to look at their faces. She stripped all the way to naked and, because her knees were weak, sat down on the tree trunk behind her. She propped herself on her arms and stretched out her legs. Her vagina was exposed. It throbbed expectantly, waiting for and wanting the intrusion that was coming. "I want to see you too," she said huskily. And she did. Could hardly wait for it. They undressed hastily, shedding clothes and throwing them away. She looked at three erect penises, one of them longer than the other two. She pointed at it and he came to her and helped her up from the trunk. It was the tall young one and his penis folded up against her, long and hot, as he kissed her once more. Holding her in his arms, he guided her to a blanket now spread on the ground. Her blanket. Somebody had shaken it out and placed it ready. On her back, she watched as he positioned himself between her legs. She had never before wanted sex so badly and she reached down to guide him into her. He went in so easily and smoothly she was amazed. The man was big and she took his length comfortably, enclosing and enveloping. It was so simple. She snaked her legs around his waist, crossed them at the ankles, and marvelled at her licentiousness. She was relaxed, almost luxurious. She cradled the man's head in her neck. She didn't even know his name. Two other men were watching. This was Adultery with a big capital letter. It was dangerous and delicious. His body was lean and strong. She loved the hardness of his back and shoulders. He was moving into and out of her slowly, stroking with his full length, and she knew a powerful orgasm was building and soon it would overwhelm her. The passage of events was just too intense and it could not be withstood. Quickly it curled and crashed and she cried out in the surge of it. The man was thrusting more urgently and he grunted as he exploded inside her. She stroked his shoulders as he relaxed, keeping his full weight off her. She lowered her legs and he withdrew slowly. She looked up at the two men watching, their penises eager and stretching out. Yes, of course she could. Iris beckoned and the one with the moustache stumbled forward. He slipped into her easily and started thrusting vigorously immediately. Again, surprising herself, she started to build towards a climax but he was too quickly through his efforts, hunching and grinding as he fired his seed. More. She wanted more. She merely looked at the third man, and he came to her. He stood above her for a moment, then reached down and took hold of her upper arm and lifted her effortlessly to her feet. In a haze, she looked at his strong brown forearm, corded with muscle and sinew, and his big and coarse long- fingered hand. Semen slid down her inner thigh. God, what was she doing? Why did she want this so much? She shivered with doubt and desire. "Miss," the older man said politely, though when she looked up at him his eyes were hard and stony. "I'm having you like this." And he pushed on her shoulder, pressing her down to the blanket. She collapsed in a huddle, and he lifted her easily by the hips and turned her over so that she was on her knees. Oh God, she thought, as he positioned himself on his knees behind her. She'd never done it this way. She feared he would take her anally, and though she didn't want it she knew she'd allow it, and she lowered her head and raised her haunch, presenting and offering. But he slid directly into her vagina and she moaned aloud with an ecstasy she did not know was within her capacity. He was not urgent and frenetic like the younger men. He took her with long, steady strokes, gripping her with strong hands around her thighs. A sudden image flashed into her mind, a scene from high above, of a man taking her from behind while she arched and pushed back at him, of two more men standing and watching. It was lewd and shocking. She was a good girl, educated, brought up to be a lady. A young wife not long married. She was not this. It was not possible. She was lost in lust, filled to overflowing with the raw emotional power of it. The man behind her knew what he was doing. She didn't know it could be like this. It was magnificent. She shook with an orgasm so strong it made her giddy. Her mouth was open and dry. He didn't stop, and on he went, pushing into her with his long and steady strokes. Back at Temple Station, Aunt Sarah would be supervising the preparation of lunch. Here in the clearing, Iris soared into another dizzy orgasm. The man's hands tightened painfully on the soft flesh of her thighs, and he grunted like an animal as he pressed himself into her, expending. He withdrew slowly and she rolled on her side and curled up, mentally and physically exhausted. "Miss." She snapped open her eyes. Perhaps she dozed for a moment or two. The three men were dressed, standing over her. She curled her body into a ball and protected herself with her arms, suddenly ashamed of her nakedness. "We'll be going now," said the man with the moustache. "Are you okay?" "Yes," she whispered. "Just to be sure, miss," said the older man. "You're okay with this?" "Yes." "Sure?" Iris smiled up at them. "Quite all right." They left her field of vision. She heard them pick up their tools and she heard them go. She dozed a little more, huddled on the blanket. After a while she sat up, stretched, and began to find her clothes and get dressed. PRESENT DAY: Age 81: Miranda was shaking her gently on the shoulder. "Granny, are you okay?" Iris thought she must have dozed off for a minute. "Yes," she whispered. "Sure?" She smiled at her granddaughter. Miranda looked so much like her all those many years ago, when everybody got married and stayed married, and when that was the answer to everything. Everything, that is, except for the wild spirit within her, within Miranda, within everybody. "Quite all right," Iris said. ENDS =========================================================== (2) Bedside Manners (FM, Okay cheat) "I want you to sleep with my husband," she said. You could have floored me with a feather. Kath had said she wanted to ask me a big favour. Now she had. What do you say to one of your oldest friends when she's in a hospital bed with a possibly terminal illness? You can't spit in her face. You can't hoot and jeer. You can't even get up and leave the room. "I'm married," I said automatically, instinctively. She wanted what? Me? Sleep with Wally? What the hell was this? Kath waved her hand feebly. She was very sick and very tired. Of course she was. She had a brain tumour. "Don't be silly," she said dismissively. "You can do it and get away with it easily. John wouldn't have a clue." Well, okay. My husband John didn't usually have too many clues, that was true. Hang on. Let's get back to the main event. "You want me to sleep with Wally." "Sure," she said, as though she'd asked me to pick up a loaf of bread at the supermarket. "He's going to sleep with somebody, for sure, and I'd feel better if it were you." "Why does he have to sleep with anybody? What's so special about Wally?" "He's not so special but at least he's mine." Kath had a sad smile on her lips. "Meg, I know what he's like. Without a regular sleeping partner -- and I mean regular, you know? -- he'll go looking or at least make himself available and some scheming opportunistic bitch will gobble him up. I know he's not special but he's not exactly unattractive, either. Wally will stray into trouble without me. It's a living certainty." Wally. Bit of a dill, really. Much like John. But nice enough in a smiling, pleasant, husky handsome way. Kath was right. Left to his own devices, he'd get eaten alive. But why pick on me? "Why pick on me?" I asked plaintively. "Because you're not in the least interested in him," she said. "And you're my oldest friend and I trust you." "You didn't trust me with Mike Thompson," I reminded her sharply. "And rightly so." "That was 15 years ago. Besides, you fancied him like mad and you don't fancy Wally at all. He's not your type." "Kath, I haven't slept with anybody but John for years. I'm out of practice." "Rubbish. What did you do with Graham Roberts? Poetry readings?" "How did you know about that? God, who else knows? Anyway it was years ago." "Two years, as I recall." "That's still years." But she'd scored the point. Sick as she was, she was still a sharp woman. How did she find out about that? Damn. "Look, it won't hurt you," Kath said. She had a glint of cunning in her eyes. "I know it's a lot to ask but Wally is quite competent, you know. I've trained him pretty well. I think you might be surprised." "How am I supposed to accomplish this? It's just not that simple, Kath. What makes you think he'll want me?" She waved her hand weakly again. "Oh pooh," she said. "He's always going on about your tits. And it is simple. Just seduce him, that's all. You can do it standing on your head. I know you, my friend." She smiled maliciously. "He'll be guilty as all hell. It means he'll be as sweet as chocolate to me." "You're not just sick," I said to her. "You're a sick bitch." "I told you," she said defensively. "If Wally is going to get into trouble, I want it to be on my terms. You can give me daily reports. I'll know what's happening. I'll have some degree of control." She was something else. Half dead and still awesome. My oldest pal. Right there and then I knew she was going to beat this thing and get better. My spirits lifted. But I was still left with the Wally problem. Dear God. It looked as if I had no choice but to take the job. "You'll never be able to pay me back for this," I said grimly. "You'll be in my debt forever." She grinned at me. Her teeth were dull and yellowish, her hair lank and without lustre. She had dark circles under her eyes and worrying spots on her skin. She looked terrible but now I knew better. She wasn't really going to die. Things fell into place. John had to go away for three days, so I rang Wally and told him I was coming around to cook him one of my famous dinners while he was visiting Kath in the hospital. It would be ready for him when he got home. Wally, who ate as heartily as anybody I ever knew, thought this was a fine idea. He came home, attacked the dinner with gusto, and was pleased to hear my optimistic views about his wife. It was a hot night and we looked at the pile of washing up unenthusiastically. "Leave it," Wally said. "I'll do it tomorrow." "It is hot," I agreed. "What I'd really like to do now is jump in your pool. But I didn't bring a costume." "Maybe you could find something of Kath's," he suggested. "Wouldn't fit," I said. "No," he agreed, grinning at me. "Not even close." I looked at him speculatively. "It is hot, though. I could, I suppose, go in my underwear. It's respectable enough. As long as it wouldn't offend you." "Of course not." He couldn't disguise his enthusiasm. "I'll just get changed and join you." I waited till he joined me poolside to slip out of my summer dress. I'd told no lies. My white bra and pants were relatively respectable, covering more flesh than any two- piece bathing suit I'd ever owned. Wally tried hard and failed to stop looking at my chest. We swam and splashed around the pool until I suggested he get us a drink. I climbed the ladder out of the pool and waited for the effect. His hair was plastered forward and water dripped from his nose. His mouth hung open in a perfect cliche as he stared at me. I pretended to take notice. "Goodness," I said with as much surprise as I could muster. "I didn't know I would have this effect." I was lying through my teeth. I had even rehearsed it in the shower and knew exactly what would happen. My underwear had become totally transparent. Totally. Top and bottom. I won't fill in the rest of the farce. It was dead easy. I spent the night with Wally in bed right on schedule. He had a short penis but it was quite fat, and I don't mind admitting I'm partial to a thick dick. He lacked subtlety but made up for it with enthusiasm. All in all, not bad. Not bad at all. I got up and out of the place before he'd properly woken up. Wally was going to be feeling guilty and, because of my special arrangement with Kath, I didn't need to be dealing with it. I went to see her that afternoon. "I see you got him," she said as soon as I entered the room. "He was here this morning and it was written all over his face." "Mission accomplished," I said. "Not too easily, I hope." "It was pretty easy," I said apologetically. "Mind you, he didn't stand a chance. I put on a good show." "Tell me. Leave nothing out." I ran through events for her. "It's not fair," she said when I'd finished. "It's all so easy for you bitches with big tits. All you do is unleash them and you've got guys with their tongues hanging out." "Hey, no insults please. Remember, you asked me to do this." "I know, I know. I just wish he'd put up more of a fight." "You want me to stop?" "No. Better you than somebody else. Did he do okay?" "Perfectly adequately." She seemed pleased. "Now the deal is two or three times a week, remember? Otherwise it could go to waste." "Kath, when did I ever let you down?" In fact I went back to Wally that same night. John was still away and why not? He was as guilty as a thief caught red-handed, but I talked him around soon enough. Look, I said, almost telling him the truth, Kath asked me to make sure you're looked after and that's what I'm doing. It's only an affair of convenience, not an affair. No harm done all round. Wally improved on the second bite. He was quite a goer when he got started and we fitted surprisingly well. The moving parts seemed to move well together. In fact I had a bigger and better climax than I'd had for many moons. I was warming to good old Wally. He was all right. So I went back again the next night. Kath is no fool. "What's going on?" she asked warily. "Plenty," I replied. "Just like you wanted." "You're keeping him busy?" "You bet." "Too busy?" "Kath, you're very hard to please. You asked me to do this and now that I have you're acting like a jealous wife." "Well, I am a jealous wife. You're supposed to be a surrogate for me, not a damned succubus. You're supposed to keeping him content, not drained dry. Poor old Wally can't walk straight." I gave it a rest for the next few nights. Besides, John was back. This was obviously the right thing to do, because Kath was considerably more cheerful next time I visited. "So how is Wally?" she asked conversationally. "I mean, is he to your satisfaction?" "He's pretty good," I admitted. "I was surprised how good." "I told you I trained him." "You did okay. He's better than John." "Oh yes," said Kath. "He's certainly better than John." I could see she wanted to stretch out and snatch back the words before they reached me. Too late. "Shit," she said with feeling. She peered at me anxiously from her propped-up pillow. "You're not allowed to hit me. I'm sick." "You deserve to be, you sneaky bitch. I can't trust you, can I? I have never been able to trust you. Anything I have you need to have as well." "It was just the once," she said apologetically. "Sort of an accident. Three years ago. Nearly four." "Kath, you know what I'm going to do right now?" "I don't want to guess." "I'm going over to your place to fuck Wally." "He'll be at work." "Not after I ring him on my mobile." "Bitch." "Bitch yourself." Suddenly she smiled at me. "Like old times," she observed. "Just wait till I get better." I smiled back. "I might have to kill you first." ENDS =========================================================== (3) Email Mixup (MF, oral) The speaker clanged in its irritating metallic-sounding way as a message arrived for me on the internal mail system. Happy to break away from a tedious document, I switched to the mail reader. The message was from a Virginia Portland: "Keith, you bastard, you could have rung me. I wasn't expecting flowers or anything but a simple acknowledgement might have been nice. -- V." I looked at the screen, puzzled. Meant nothing to me. Didn't know her. I work in a huge government department complex and my office is on the 17th floor. Thousands work in the same building. I collected a jpeg of a single rose and wrote back: "Do I know you, Virginia? But here's a flower anyway. -- K." Clang went the speaker again, so fast I didn't even have time to get back to my Word document: "Is this the brush-off already, Keith? After one night? They told me you were a bastard. I should have listened. -- V." I picked up my hard copy of the internal phone directory. Yep, there she was. Virginia Portland, Legal Section, 7th floor. Didn't know her. Never heard of her. Wait. Three weeks ago. That little mousy brunette I picked up at a singles bar and took home for the night. But she said her name was Cathy and she worked as a ticket clerk at a bus interchange. Possible, I suppose, that she fudged her name. People do that sort of thing in singles bars. Fishing, I wrote: "What do you know about bus tickets, Virginia? -- K." Clang. "Are you telling me to take a hike and get out of town? I'm in tears here, you bastard. -- V." Shit. Things were getting out of hand. Time to clear the table: "Virginia, my name is Keith Douglas. Are you sure you have the right guy? - K." Clang. "You think I don't know the name of a guy WHEN I SUCK HIS COCK? -- V." Cathy didn't do that. She didn't do much at all except lie there. I scratched my head. Somebody from the past? I wrote: "Excuse my sloppy memory and remind me when you did that. - - K." Clang. "LAST NIGHT! You bastard! -- V." Mystery partly solved: "Not THIS Keith Douglas, Virginia. -- K." Clang. "You are on Floor 9, right? Marketing and Promotion. -- V." I looked in the directory. Mystery totally solved: "Sorry, Floor 17. Executive Services. You want Keith Douglass (with a double 's'). -- K." Silence. I waited five minutes and went back to my Word document. The phone rang. "There's a Miss Portland from Legal Section here to see you," said the guy at the security desk. It was not possible to look more anxious than she did. Tidily packaged, mid-twenties, blonde hair pinned at the back of the neck, grey sensible skirt, white blouse showing elements of a white bra beneath it. She stood in front of my desk and twisted and kneaded her hands nervously. "I thought I ought to clear this mess up as quickly as possible," she said. "No need," I said. "I understand well enough. It was an easy mistake to make. No offence taken." Apprehension continued to cloud her face. She had attractive pale blue eyes. She looked at me gravely and I could see her struggling with a decision. Abruptly she turned away and looked out the window. "Nice view from up here," she said. "I don't have a view." I waited patiently for her to explain why she had come to see me. There had to be a significant reason. "I'm getting married on Saturday," she said, almost reflectively, still looking out the window. "I see," I said. "And not to Mr. Double-S Douglass, I gather." "No. He's a naval officer. My husband-to-be, that is." She turned around to face me, and the hands were twisting again. "I had a few drinks with people in the office last night. Things got out of hand. You know how it is?" She looked at me hopefully. "Sure," I said. "Last chance to be a rebel, thumb your nose at the system, be a bad girl just this once. That sort of thing, you mean?" "That sort of thing," she agreed, smiling, with a touch of a blush on her cheeks. "Can I be assured of your absolute discretion?" "Absolutely, Virginia." "You know, you're so much nicer than the other Keith." "And I have a better view," I added. "He doesn't have a view at all." She giggled for a second before snuffing it out. "It did in fact happen in his office last night." "You should see the view when the city lights come on," I said. "Fantastic. Especially when I turn off the lights in here. You ought to come up and see it some time. Maybe. If you get the urge to be a bad girl again." "I have to work late tonight," she said. "So do I," I said. Again she was struggling with a decision. I held out my pass card to her. "See you here at eight?" Her eyes flicked from me to the card for a few long seconds. Then she took it. Clang. It was 8:45am. "Keith, thanks for the flowers. -- V." I wrote back: "My pleasure, Virginia. -- K." ENDS =========================================================== (4) Melissa's Dilemma (MF, bond) I was watering the azaleas in the garden when I became aware of distant shouting. I looked around but couldn't see anything or anybody. What the hell? I walked in the general direction of the irregular but insistent voice. I looked over the fence and saw the curtain flutter on the window of the neighbouring house. Yep, that's where it was coming from. I checked my watch. I had exactly 16 minutes to spare, and I moved up to the fence, because it sounded like a cry for help. Then I heard the voice. "Hoy," it shouted. "Can you hear me?" I climbed over the fence, went to the window, and rapped on it tentatively. "Hello?" I called. "Mr. Jantzen, thank God," said the voice, sounding a little hoarse. "It's me, Melissa. I need your help urgently." "Right," I said. "What do I do?" "The back door is unlocked. Come in and find me. I'll call out the way. I'm trapped, I can't move, and I'm in agony." Right. Melissa. Seemed like a nice girl. Barely any trouble for a young neighbour. Only occasionally did the music get a bit loud, and she was always gracious about turning it down when asked. Had the small house on her own but always had lots of visitors. I bustled around to the back door and inside the house. I heard her calling and I found the door of the room she was in. I opened it, automatically switched on the light in the gloom, and nearly had an instant heart attack. Melissa was tied to all four posts of the bed. Totally naked. Totally restrained. Totally exposed. I looked up the length of her body on the bed. Her legs were wide apart and I looked straight into her open and hairy box. She shimmied her heels impatiently, and the curtain jammed behind the head of the bed moved ever so slightly. "Yes, yes, I know," she shouted at me. "For pity's sake, Mr. Jantzen, untie me. If you don't do it in ten seconds I'll pee all over the bed." Right. I snapped into action, untying the rope knots at ankles and wrists on one side of the bed, then I leaned across her and untied the others. She bounced off the bed so fast she collided with me, and soft breasts squashed into my shoulder as she pushed me aside. She snatched up a dressing gown from a chair and dashed out of the room, calling out to me: "Stay here. I'll explain in a minute." It took her longer than one minute. I heard the toilet flush but it was at least five minutes before she returned. She'd seen to her face, and her long brown hair was tied back. She was dressed in the robe, tied at the waist. "What can I say?" she asked, downcast and not really asking. "You've always been such a nice neighbour. I'm really sorry to have brought you into this, but I had no choice." She took hold of a bedpost ruefully. "It's sort of complicated. I have these two boyfriends. Tom, I think you've met him, is nice. Alex, and you would not have met him, is not so nice." She sighed deeply. "Alex tied me up and left me there, laughing all the way out the door. I was like that for over nine hours. Then I heard you whistling next door and I just had to get you to help." She looked up me. "Forgive?" "Right," I said. "Look, Melissa, what you do is no concern of mine, as long as you're not too loud when you do it." Suddenly she burst out laughing. "Oh dear," she said, wiping her eyes. "I was very loud when I was doing it, I remember that clearly." She looked at me steadily, calm again. "You see, I like being tied up, Mr. Jantzen. Tom won't do it, but Alex, well, Alex is Alex." Right. She liked being tied up. Some people did that. "You're shocked," she said. "Oh dear, I've shocked my neighbour." I nodded slowly. "It certainly was a big surprise," I said. "But we'll say no more about it, Melissa. I'll pretend it didn't happen, okay?" "What about Mrs. Jantzen? You won't tell her?" "Heavens, no." She smiled slyly. "Never tied her up, then? Maybe she'd like it." I laughed. "Melissa, I'm 43 and Jill is 44. I think we know each other pretty well by now." She shrugged. "You're a nice man, Mr. Jantzen. Sorry to embarrass you." I looked at my watch. I was now definitely late, and I headed for the door in a hurry. "I'll get over it, Melissa. Make sure you do too." I climbed back over the fence and went in my own back door. In the kitchen, Jill was tightly bound and trussed, naked, hanging suspended from an exposed beam. I took the gag from her mouth. "You bastard," she hissed at me. "Where have you been all this time? I'm in agony here." I smiled at her pleasantly. "Just helping out a neighbour," I said. "But I'm as horny as a buffalo in rutting season, and you're in big, big trouble." ENDS =========================================================== (5) Gwen Punishes Herself (MF) He was stacking the last of the dishes when Anthea tugged at his shirtsleeve. "Come and look at this," she said, conspiracy loaded in her voice. "Look at what?" Her smile promised mischief. She pulled him gently but insistently by the sleeve, quietly intent. She stopped at the door of the living room and pointed to Gwen. "Look," she whispered. "Isn't that worth looking at?" His daughter's friend had fallen asleep on the sofa. Her head lolled back and her mouth was open slightly. An open magazine lay upside down and across her chest, still held by one hand. One leg was stretched out straight, the other bent, and the hem of her thin cotton dress was sitting high on her thighs. The bottom button had popped open and she was exposed in a manner unladylike. The light from the standard lamp cast no sympathetic shadow. It only highlighted the display. Tom saw clearly her clean white pants, which looked very clean and very white almost to the point of silver, contrasting sharply with the smooth warm-coloured flesh of her thighs. He saw the pressing curve of her pubic mound and the suggestion of a crease. His senses were suddenly heightened and he realised he had been holding his breath. He could even see the minute rise and fall of the magazine on her chest as she slumbered evenly and peacefully. Anthea whispered close to his right ear. "Well? What do you think of that?" He let out his breath carefully and spoke unguardedly. "Delicious," he said. "Right," she said. "Delicious. That's it." They stood watching the sleeping Gwen. The skin of her legs glowed in the light of the lamp, one hand dangled off her thigh, her lips were parted and she was glorious in her sprawling abandon, all the more so because it was unintentional. He thought he had never seen a sexier sight in his life. "You could have her, you know," whispered Anthea. Her words shocked him like a jag of static electricity. He looked sharply at her. "What?" "Shush," she said. She pointed at Gwen. "I'm telling you. You could have her. Tonight, if you like. Probably. No, I'm certain of it. You could definitely have her." "Anthea, that's ridiculous. You must be tipsy." She smiled tightly at him, her eyes glinting in the light. Then she tugged again at his sleeve, drawing him back into the kitchen. She confronted him. "You don't want her?" He gestured vaguely. "Anthea, this is not ...." He left off, uncertain about the correct response from a father to a daughter at such a moment. She reached out and brushed the front of his trousers lightly with the back of her hand. Her smile tightened triumphantly. "I knew you did," she said. "The way she looks anybody would." "Anthea," he said, with as much dignity, warning, and forbidding he could muster. "Oh Dad," she said. "Stop being stuffy. I saw her like that and it just came to me in a flash. You're in need and she's available. I could fix it up, no problem." "Why do you want to humiliate me?" "I don't. I'm trying to help you with your problem." "I don't have a problem." "You carry placards that say you do. You're lonely and depressed, and a good healthy dose of sex would do wonders for you. You haven't had it in four years, since mother died." "Gwen and me? Absurd. She's gorgeous and I'm old." "She's had a thing about you for years and years." "She told you that?" "She doesn't have to. You've been part of her fantasies since she was old enough to have them." "Rubbish. Anyway, those juvenile things go away. Now she's a woman, and married too, by God." She pursed her mouth and shook her head at him. "Not a clue," she said. "You don't have a clue. I tell you, and believe me I know, she's a cast iron certainty." "Anyway," he said resolutely, "I won't do it." "Don't tell me you don't want her. She's ready, willing and available." "I won't ... I don't know ... I won't make a play for her. I couldn't. I wouldn't. I just couldn't do something like that. It's absurd." "Oh, I'll do that part. You don't have to worry about that." "Anthea, stop this." She narrowed her eyes and considered. She craned up and kissed him on the cheek. "Dad, you go on up to bed now." "Anthea, I forbid you." "It's okay, Dad. Relax. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you." "You've had too much to drink." "Probably." "I'll go up now." "Right." "See you in the morning." "Right." "You'll look after Gwen." "Leave it to me." He took a shower. He always did when he'd been drinking red wine. It helped prevent next day hangovers, he thought. He'd been reading for more than half an hour and was close to turning out the light and going to sleep when the door opened without notice and Gwen walked in. "No," he said, as she was shutting the door behind her. She moved to the bed and sat on the end, looking at him with an odd range of expressions on her face. He slapped the book shut, placed it heavily on the bedside table, and took off his reading glasses. "I'm serious," he said firmly. "I won't be part of any silly game cooked up by Anthea, and I'm surprised you have allowed yourself to be talked into it. For God's sake, girl, go away and we'll say no more about it. I'm angry with Anthea and I don't want to be angry with you too." "Perfect," she said quietly, sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her hands folded in her lap. She looked up at him. "Mr. Bannerman, nothing need happen here if you don't want it to happen. But I'd like to talk for a little while, if you would allow me. I respect your opinion and there's something I should tell you about." He was deeply suspicious. "What's that?" She rose, walked around to the other side of the bed and sat again, but facing away from him. "I can't look at you while I tell you this," she said with a hint of dread. "Gwen, what are you talking about?" "A long time ago I stole money from you," she said. "You left your wallet on the table and everybody was out of the room and I took some money." "What?" Then he laughed. "Gwen, what does it matter now?" He laughed again, and kept laughing until he coughed and stopped. "Oh dear," he said. "Excuse me for laughing, but that's so juvenile and silly." She continued to face away from him. "There's a lot more," she said. "Gwen, it doesn't matter. How old were you? Do you remember?" "Absolutely. I was fourteen." "Well, there you go. All part of growing up." "There's a lot more, Mr. Bannerman." "Go on then. Get it off your chest." "Later that night, at home, I was deeply ashamed of myself," she said, "and very guilty for stealing money from my best friend's father. I didn't even need it. I remember it all clearly, as if it were yesterday. I couldn't go to sleep for worrying about it, and I decided I was going to see you and confess and give it back." "That would have been commendable," he said. "But I don't recall it happening." "It didn't and now I'm going to tell you why." She hesitated for a moment and he waited for her, because he was beginning to be fascinated by her naive story and her strange manner. "Mr. Bannerman, you won't really remember me when I was fourteen but I tell you I was pretty damned cute. I had as neat a figure as any girl my age and better than most. Plenty of boys were doing their best to get their hands on me but I resisted fairly successfully, even though some of my friends actually went all the way. I was getting close, though, and I thought about it a lot. An awful lot, as I recall." "Sounds normal enough," he said, because she stopped talking. "Wait and listen. That night, I'm talking about the night of the day I stole your money, I couldn't sleep and I tossed around and rehearsed in my mind what I was going to say to you when I gave it back. I thought I was wide awake but I was probably half asleep. As the rehearsal took shape in my mind, you became very stern with me. You told me confession wasn't good enough and I had to be taught a lesson I wouldn't forget. You said you couldn't ground me or stop my allowance because you weren't my father and you couldn't punish me physically - you know, spank me or something - because you wouldn't do that without his permission and you wouldn't ask his permission because you knew I wouldn't want you to tell him what I'd done. Are you following me?" "Go on," he said. "I'm curious about what I decided to do." "You asked me whether I agreed I needed to be punished and I agreed I did. You asked me what sort of punishment was fair and I said I didn't know. You asked me what was the worst thing that had happened to me that month and I said it was when Anthea pushed me out of the gym locker room into the school corridor when I was only wearing my underwear and two boys saw me and laughed at me. That part was true, by the way." "Go on," he said. "You asked me whether being seen in my underwear was an embarrassing experience and I said it was. You asked me whether I thought that might be a suitable punishment for me and I begged you not to make me do it. You said it looked like we had found a solution and you asked me to strip to my underwear. I said I couldn't and you asked me whether I was sorry for stealing your money and I said I was. You asked me whether I wanted you to tell my father and I said I didn't. You asked me again whether I needed to be punished and I said I did. Then you asked me again to strip." She sat silently, sitting on the bed facing away from him. "And did you?" he prompted. "How could I not? I took off my shoes and my dress and stood in front of you in my bra and panties. You said you'd seen me wearing less in my bikini and you asked me whether I thought the punishment was adequate. I said it probably was not as severe as it should be and without your asking, I took off my bra and pants and stood naked in front of you." "I see," he said, because he didn't know what else to say. "Well, that was an interesting story." "It's not finished. It got a little fuzzy after that because of my very limited experience at the time. The first part, the interrogation and the stripping, was very detailed. I can still remember every word and every gesture. The second part was more dreamlike." "What happened in the second part?" "You told me how beautiful I was. You held me and caressed me. Then you fucked me." "I did, eh? Not very responsible of me." "But it was fantastic. That night I brought myself off to one of the truly great orgasms of my life. If I stood up now I'd buckle at the knees thinking about it. That rehearsal turned into a fantasy I replayed hundreds of times. It was my favourite and my most powerful. It was as much a part of growing up as school and holidays." "Gwen," he said gently. "I'm no expert but I think these things are not uncommon in adolescence. We grow out of them." "Over the years," she said, "as more things happened to me, the second part changed to suit the occasion. In my dreams, you were the first to do things to me that hadn't been done. Do you know when I last brought myself off to that fantasy? Last night. Here in this house." She stood. "I've finished the story," she said. She came around the foot of the bed and sat where she had before, facing him. Her face was set straight, almost without expression. "Tonight Anthea told me how you looked at me while I was asleep. She said you needed a woman. I want to tell you I'm your woman." "Anthea is unforgivable," he said. "I won't be manipulated and humiliated in this fashion." She moved to him, placed her hands gently on either side of his face and looked into his eyes from close range. "Fuck Anthea," she said, and meant it. "This is what I want and it's what I've wanted for as long as I can remember. Give me my biggest fantasy, Mr. Bannerman. Make it come true." He felt her breath on his face. She was gorgeous. "Gwen," he said sternly, looking directly into her eyes. "I can smell on your breath that you've been drinking and your behaviour tonight has been shameful, unladylike, and highly improper. What sort of punishment do you think is fair in these unfortunate and regrettable circumstances? Or would you prefer me to simply tell your husband?" She shut her eyes and dropped her head. After a moment, she rose from the bed and stood beside it, hands at her side and contrite. "Oh no," she said to him. "Please, Mr. Bannerman, don't tell my husband. Please punish me as you see fit." How could he not? ENDS =========================================================== (6) For Once in Her Life (F/MMM, cheat, wife, watch) The bonus with driving at whim on a long holiday around this big wide country is the great people you meet along the way. Larry, Barry, and Garry were three easy-going friendly guys on their way to the far north to take up jobs on a remote oil rig. We'd run across them camping at this out-of-the-way roadside spot, shared a drink and a bite to eat, and found them good company. Lizzie was terrific with most people. She charmed them with her open and easy style. Even dressed down for the open road, she was all class. We were getting ready to head out back to the highway when I discovered I'd left my only viable credit card back at the bank in the last town we passed. It was only 40 miles or so away and I could be there and back by nightfall, especially if I unhitched the van. I explained my problem and asked the guys whether they'd mind hanging about with Lizzie and the van until I returned. The beers were on me. They were nice guys. They didn't mind at all. I'd gone only six or seven miles when I realised I'd left my wallet and identification in the van. Cursing, I swung around and headed back. As I drove into the clearing I saw the guys standing closely around Lizzie. Just for a second I thought one of them had his hands on her breasts. I looked again. No, I must have imagined it. I got out of the car and they looked across at me and waved casually. "Left my wallet behind," I explained. Then, as I approached, I looked intently at Lizzie and saw something was wrong. She appeared startled, confused, as if she somehow didn't know who or where she was. I stopped. "Hey," I said, a question in my voice. "Lizzie, is anything wrong?" She looked at me blankly. I might have been a complete stranger. "Nothing's wrong, Steve," said Larry, easily and comfortably. "We were just trying to persuade your wife to let us fuck her." "Bastards," I roared, advancing furiously. "I trusted you and you were going to rape her. I'll kill you." Larry put up his hand in a stop gesture and smiled at me disarmingly. "You won't," he said. "There's only one of you. Besides, we were never going to hurt or force her. Lizzie's a real nice woman and we like her. She's also hotter than hell and she turns us on pretty fierce and we want to fuck her real bad. But we wouldn't fuck her without her agreeing to it." I calmed down just a fraction. "Well, that's not going to happen," I said, making urgent plans in my head about hitching up the van and getting out of the place fast. "Not so sure about that," said Larry mildly. "We were a big chance until you came back. You see, Steve, I'm good at this sort of thing with women." He looked around at his friends. "Isn't that right?" "You bet," said Garry, nodding to me. "He's terrific. Can't remember when he was ever wrong." "Yeah," Larry agreed. "And I don't reckon I'm wrong here. Yet." "You're crazy," I snapped at him. "We're getting out of here." "Hey," he said, his hands spread in a placating gesture. "We were just going to ask her again." "Over my dead body." "No need for that. But I guess we'll have to restrain you so you can't interfere in her decision." All three of them stepped towards me and I put up my hands in a fighting stance. "Don't be a mug," said Barry. "Any one of us is stronger than you. We don't want to hurt you." One of them, Garry, came up quickly behind and pinned my arms in a bear hug. I struggled but couldn't break the hold. They had me trussed in a couple of minutes and on the ground, hands tied behind my back and feet tied at the ankles. "I'll crucify you bastards," I yelled at them. "I'll follow you to the end of the earth." Threats were not working. Barry came back with a piece of black tape and stuck it across my mouth. I saw Lizzie looking down at me. Her lips were parted. She stood stock still, jerking her head away only when they approached her. "Now," said Larry to her. "Where were we?" He smiled at her. "Don't worry about Steve. He won't be harmed." He reached up and took away the ribbon holding up her hair. It tumbled down across her shoulders. "You are a real nice looking woman," he said. She stood facing him, less than an arm's length away, arms by her sides. She didn't say a word. It came to me that she hadn't said a word since I returned. A nice looking woman? Well, yes, I suppose she was. Funny thing about Lizzie was that I never seemed to think about her like that. She was so friendly and open-faced and cheerful and such a nice through-and-through person that all that side of her overwhelmed you. Clinically, she had a nice face and a clean-lined athletic body that she kept in good shape. Nice looking woman didn't sound right. But when you thought about it you couldn't say it was wrong. "As I was saying," Larry said to her, "you can stop this anytime you want. Just say no. We'll stop and go away." He reached out again and cupped her right breast under her light cotton dress. He smoothed his hand over the shape of it and she stood facing him, quietly, hands at her sides. "You have a nice body," he said. His hand moved up and opened the top button of her dress. He dropped to the second button and paused, looking into her face. She looked straight ahead, said nothing, did nothing, showed nothing. Immobile. One of the other guys, Barry I think it was, stepped around behind her, and circled his arms around her, cupping both breasts with his hands. Garry sank to his knees and his hands were working smoothly on her legs. She looked briefly at the hands on her breasts and then back at me. Larry stepped forward and, astonishingly, licked the side of her face with one long lap of his tongue. She looked at him and then at me. She appeared in shock. "Stop," she said suddenly. She took a step back from them, brushing hands away in the process. Then another step back, and another. She stood facing them, hands at her sides. She glanced over at me for a moment again and then back to the three men ranged in front of her. They didn't attempt to follow her. "Let's give the lady a little time," said Larry to Barry and Garry. "She's never done anything like this before." "I think she wants to," said Garry. "Right," said Barry. "But we don't want to rush her." "Right," said Larry. "She's got a lot to think about. Like, there's old Steve over there. Nice fella. Good hubby, most likely. Then there's us over here. Three decent, upright, good-looking guys, even if I do say so myself. And she's thinking, if only good old Steve hadn't come back when he did, she might have done this thing. Just for the hell of it. For once in her life." "Right," said Barry. "One time only. Three good-looking guys." "Who would treat her very good," said Garry. "Right," said Larry. "Because we've done it before and we know what we're doing. And we've even done it before with good old hubby watching." "Right," said Garry. "That was special." "Sure was," Barry agreed. "Real special." Lizzie stood with two buttons of her dress undone, watching, listening, eyes switching with the dialogue, over to me, back to them, over to me again. "How long do we wait?" Garry asked. "Not long," said Larry. "She's making up her mind. If it's no, she'll say so. If it's yes, she probably won't say anything." The three of them stood around loosely and calmly, watching her and waiting. She turned to look at me for a long moment. I struggled vainly against the ropes trying my hands and ankles. Then she moved away, deliberately turning her back on me. She took a hesitant step towards Larry and stood there, waiting. He smiled at her, moved forward, and started unbuttoning her dress. He peeled it from her shoulders and dropped it to the ground, and she did nothing. Barry moved behind her and unfastened her bra, and she hunched her shoulders and held out her arms so he could slide it free. Larry dropped to his haunches and slowly dragged her pants down her legs, and she lifted one foot after the other so he could take them away from her. She was an unclothed woman standing in front of three men she'd not met before this day. The woman was Lizzie. She was my wife -- average-sized breasts topped with dark brown nipples; that slight outward swell to her stomach; the triangle of her pubic hair; neat and crisply black; the way her hips went wide and the space showed between her thighs. I couldn't see that because she had her back to me, but I knew her well. "Show us, sweetheart," one of the men said, gently urging. She lifted her arms and pushed her hair to the top of her head. She held the position, elbows wide. She was putting herself on display. Lizzie? This was Lizzie? My wife, my life companion, and my best friend? I knew all there was to know about Lizzie. Until today. "Oh honey," said Larry admiringly. "We are gonna fuck you real good." One of the men took her hand while another produced a blanket and spread it on the grass. She allowed herself to be pressed down and the three men moved as a team. One kissed her mouth, the next her breasts, and the third was between her legs, moving his mouth along her thighs. They were working her, three mouths at once, and her feet were moving, threading and turning. The man closest to me now had his head at her crotch and I could see his tongue working. In no time at all I saw her feet stretch and point and I knew, because I knew her well, she had orgasmed. She must have been very excited. The guy kissing her mouth drew back and stood up. He whisked off his clothes and his cock stood out from his body. He circled around and the guy with his mouth at her crotch stood up and made way. He too took off his clothes as the man with the stiff dick moved in. Now the breast worker stood up and undressed and the first guy was penetrating her, his cock smoothly and slowly disappearing. Lizzie lay spread out, eyes closed. The guy fucking her was moving steadily, sawing in and out. She lifted her legs and clasped them around his waist and now I could plainly see his glistening penis moving into and out of her, in and out, in, out. One of the other guys got down on his knees and pushed his cock into the side of her face. She turned her head, opened her lips, and took him in. He leaned over her, arching over her head. She grasped the base of his dick and half of it was in her mouth. The guy fucking her increased his speed and he clenched and tensed, shooting inside her. He withdrew after a moment's rest and another guy positioned himself and pushed into her. Meanwhile she continued to suck on the cock in her mouth. I saw her hips buck and spasm as she orgasmed again. The second guy finished pretty quickly and then the guy with the cock in her face was grimacing as he shot his load into her mouth. Slowly they got to their feet, and the three of them stood around the blanket, cocks limp, looking down at her. "Hate to love you and leave you, sweetheart," said Larry, "but it's time to be on our way." They picked up their discarded clothes and dressed. Lizzie, on her back, watched them. I saw her eyes blinking. "It's been a good day," Larry said. "I think we need a memento." He opened the door of their car and brought out a camera. One of the other guys reached down, took Lizzie's hand and helped her to her feet. "Wait," said Barry, the big guy. He searched the car and returned holding a black marker pen triumphantly. Lizzie stood placidly while he drew with it on her naked body. I saw her bend her head to look at what he had done. I saw her shoulders shake. She giggled. Her back to me, she stood between two guys and had her photo taken. They swapped positions until all three had used the camera. In great spirits they climbed into the car and started to drive away. One of them waved at her through the rear window. Lizzie stood stock still until long after their car had disappeared. Then she turned and looked at me. I could see the words scrawled diagonally across her breasts and stomach: "Fucked by Larry, Barry, and Garry." She dressed slowly and only then came across to me. She bent down and looked earnestly at my face. "I had to do it," she said. "You know that, don't you? I had to do it, otherwise they would have hurt you." Did I know that? I knew lots of things. But she was Lizzie, my wife, my friend. Whatever had happened, that couldn't change. I nodded. Sure. I knew that. She had to do it. ENDS =========================================================== (7) Creaking Gate (MF) Would he come? Midnight passed and outside the night was as still as an oil painting. No breeze to stir the feathered leaves of the eucalyptus tree outside the window. No sound. Then a night bird, away somewhere, calling for companionship, calling for liaison under the third-quarter moon. Would he come? Ruth shifted under the sheets and rolled the width of the bed, agitated with her agitation. He did not say he would. He did not say anything. Bastard. She did not need this adolescent anxiety. Not her. Not now. She turned her head to the digital clock. 00:30. Bastard. He wasn't coming. Naked under the sheets, she felt the first flush of foolishness. She knew it would turn to anger and that would cost her sleeptime. In the morning, tired and unloved, she would hate him so much there might be no going back on it. Ruth did not know how hard she was listening until she heard the puff of a breeze that rustled the leaves of the tree outside. It built to a rush and the smell of distant rain came through the open window. The gate creaked and the pulse in her neck jumped. Oh God, she thought. I don't need this. He was in the house. She knew it without listening. He was beside the bed but she lay still, eyes closed but fluttering behind the lids. "Are you awake?" he asked softly in his deep voice. She made a pretence of surprise. She rolled on her back and looked up at him. "You woke me," she lied. She felt as light as a feather. Goosebumps sprouted on her upper arms and a blush grew on her chest. He had come. She hated that she was so blissfully happy. ENDS =========================================================== (8) Shut Up, Uncle (FM, voy, exhib) She'd more or less come around to it in just nine days, which surprised her because she thought she'd be the one with the lesser tolerance. Uncle Stanley wasn't her crazy relative, for God's sake. She'd married into this absurd arrangement involving Phil's father's younger brother. Most of the pressure had landed on her, but she was finding she was able to get on with things -- if not normally, then at least passably. Here she was, sitting at the kitchen table folding clean laundry while across sat Uncle Stanley, babbling at her incessantly, shouting frequently and in a stream of words not sequentially or consequently linked. Uncle Stanley could and did say all sorts of things, but none of it together made any sense. That was what you had to learn quickly -- not to listen to what he was saying. He sprinkled his rantings with extraordinarily complex and uncommon words and an occasional blunt and colourful obscenity, unfortunately always shouted very loudly indeed. Poor Phil wasn't coping, which was a big problem. Phil's career was taking off excitingly after a long struggle for acceptance. In the past year his scripts were in high demand, and he'd signed an excellent contract to write the stage play of a best-selling novel. The pressure was on and Phil was working day and night in the study they'd just finished remodelling with the money flowing in from his script work. They should have thought more about soundproofing. Uncle Stanley's invective, in his loudest and most indecent moments, intruded often on the fragile threads of Phil's creative brilliance and, as is the case with brilliantly creative people, he didn't take it kindly. "Ginny," he'd said to her meaningfully, after he'd calmed down from a scarlet-faced outburst that had outperformed Uncle Stanley. "Ginny," he'd said, as if the matter was entirely in her hands. "You have got to do something about this." His words had contained much implication. He was under pressure and she wasn't. He was working and she'd given up her job in their more comfortable circumstances to look after things. He was a genius and she wasn't. He'd already tried to give Uncle Stanley back to the family but had been rebuffed. It was, he was saying, up to her to give him the time and space he required. "Asshole," shouted Uncle Stanley across the table. Well, not really. Poor Phil was slipping behind schedule, and his agitation was understandable. Uncle Stanley, it was said, had been brilliant himself. He'd been a dedicated research chemist doing important things for humanity. One day something broke inside his head and he started raving and shouting. The family took on the responsibility and it was decided he would live with and be cared for by the various family households for four- monthly periods in turn. There'd been six such households sharing the task for years. Now that Phil had been married for three years and settled into his career, it was decided collectively and unanimously, there were seven. It was an imposition, certainly, but it wasn't a nightmare. Apart from the sound and the presence of him, Uncle Stanley was not hard to handle. He ate anything and everything neatly and carefully, thankfully not talking between mouthfuls. He slept ten hours a night almost precisely and bathed himself every morning after waking. He dressed himself adequately and kept himself clean. The big problem was the talking and the way he attached himself to whoever was close at hand. If you passed him he followed you until he couldn't. If you went into the bathroom and shut the door on him, he'd wait and babble until you opened it. Unless somebody else came by, in which case he'd follow. In nine days she'd more or less come around to it. Uncle Stanley would follow her around the house. She could do most things she'd always done and she had her necessary moments of privacy when she shut the door. She could not watch television or listen to the radio when Uncle Stanley was awake. Nobody could, except Phil in his study, and that was work. But she could do housework. She could cook, she could read, she could even walk in the garden and think about life and times. Uncle Stanley was always there, but she found she could do it. But after ten days Phil was coming apart. "Ginny," he said to her with an edge of ragged desperation. "Ginny," he said, looking into her eyes imploringly. "You've got to do something." Well, sure. But what? She took him out into the garden but Phil rattled the window of his study. She took him into the kitchen but Phil opened his door and shouted at her. She took him upstairs but Phil banged on the ceiling with something. So she broke the family rule and took him shopping. Bad move. His language caused a stir in the supermarket and she had to chase after him to stop him following people out the store. She took him home and, thinking deeply about what she could do, walked up the stairs to her room to change her clothes. She shut the door on Uncle Stanley. "Cunt," he shouted through the timber frame. But he wasn't being personal. She took off her dress and was rummaging for a shirt when some change in the environment made her look up questioningly. She saw Uncle Stanley framed in the doorway, watching her. His mouth was shut and he was silent. The door had not latched and it had swayed partly open under the pressure of a breeze. She straightened, not particularly disturbed because she was wearing a respectable bra and pants, and walked to the door and closed it. Immediately he started ranting again. She stood at the closed door, listening to him run up and down the roller- coaster of his amazing vocabulary. She put out her hand and opened the door. He stopped mid-word and stood silently, watching her. She closed the door and he started talking. She opened the door and he stopped. She left the door open and walked back into the room. He stayed outside, silent, watching. She sat on the bed and pulled on her jeans. She stood up and pulled the cotton shirt over her head. Uncle Stanley started babbling again. She looked at him, considering. She took off the shirt and he stopped. They stood looking, each preoccupied. His head was hunched forward and he was watching her intently. His lips started to move, working silently. Then the words started, low and slow, emerging hesitantly but gradually picking up pace, volume and continuity. She sighed deeply, realising how much she'd treasured the silence while it had lasted. But it was not as it was. There was something about him and the way he was looking at her, in fact the way he was talking at her. The words made no sense but she was sure that, for the first time, they were being directed. Instinctively she knew what had to be done and, reaching behind, she acted before logic and reason intervened. She unclipped the bra, drew it off and threw it to the bed. Eyes wider, Uncle Stanley shut down the noise instantly. That was it. She knew she had the answer. She could tell by his expression. He was hooked and he couldn't utter a word to save himself. Peace was bliss and the price was cheap. She stood and thought about it while Uncle Stanley stared at her breasts. She couldn't just walk around topless. Phil might appreciate the silence but he would surely not approve. She searched through the wardrobe and pulled out a light cotton housecoat she had barely worn. She took off all her clothes while Uncle Stanley watched, silent and goggle-eyed, and put on the housecoat. She left it open and untied, walked past Uncle Stanley and down to the kitchen to get on with the things that had to be done. He followed silently. When Phil came out for coffee she tied the housecoat. Uncle Stanley, watching and waiting, didn't say a word. Two weeks later Mavis dropped by. Ginny tied her housecoat before answering the door. "You know I'm due to have Uncle Stanley next," Mavis said, over coffee. "Phil says you're a marvel with him. What's your secret?" "Come and see me when you get desperate," Ginny said. ENDS =========================================================== (9) Six Tits (MF) It was holiday season and the resort strip was crowded. Every place was crowded with summertime people doing summertime things. What women did in these places at these times was wear very little, like they had some sort of licence to do so in a place they were only visiting. Many of the women were young. The rule of thumb, as far as I could see, was that the younger they were the less they wore. And for a man as single and as unencumbered and as preoccupied as I had been over the past couple of years and more, it was sensory overload. A simple walk down the length of a shopping mall was a knee-weakening experience, leaving me dazed and bewildered. I'd taken the holiday because I needed to rest and recuperate in an atmosphere that excluded work and worry. After four days of it, I could judge the wisdom of this decision because I was resting and not worrying about work. But there was this other type of stress -- an increasing anxiety that I was surrounded by an array of female flesh wherever I went, and I was completely out of touch with it. I had been so introspective for so long I had quite simply forgotten about it. I had developed, I realised, the social skills of a hermit. I was ambling without purpose and when she stopped in front of me, blocking my way, I started to step aside. Another of the many hundreds of young things wearing not much. "Wait," she said, putting out a hand to stop me. "Mr. Denison. It's me. Amy. From over the road." I stopped and blinked and she came into focus. I pushed the fuzziness from my head and concentrated. "Hello," I said automatically. "How are you?" She saw how vague I was. "It's me," she said. "Amy. I live in your street." Well, yes. So she did. It was the young woman from the house one over from directly across. I knew her although I would not have remembered her name. I'd met the whole family. What was their surname? "Amy," I said. "Yes, of course. My goodness, how unexpected. We're both 1700 miles from home." I knew this. She smiled happily. "We're here for three more days. When are you going home?" "Not for another, let me see, eight days." "This is a lucky break," she said. "I've left my purse behind and I'd really like a cold drink. Will you buy me one?" "Yes, of course." I looked around. "Over there?" She nodded and took me by the elbow, steering me like an invalid. I ordered what she was having and we sat down at a table. I studied her while she drank thirstily. Amy. Yes, she was a schoolgirl. But here she was in a pair of ripped denim shorts and little pieces of cloth that covered only parts of her breasts. She met my eyes and giggled. "I guess you're not used to seeing me like this," she said. "But we are on holidays and this is the beach." "I'm sorry," I said immediately, because I'd lost my social skills and had forgotten how to dissemble. "Was I staring?" "You were a bit." "Sorry. I've been a bit distracted and I'm surprised to be talking to somebody who knows me. You must think me a bit strange." She smiled widely at me. I knew what this meant. She did indeed think me a bit strange, and probably her family thought so too, and you couldn't blame them. No doubt I appeared strange. "Are you here on your own?" she asked. "Alone? Yes. Of course. I'm always on my own." How old was she anyway? She was a little kid in school uniform. She'd grown up without me noticing. She continued to smile at me. "You're staring again," she said. "Am I? I was just wondering how old you were." "Fourteen." I raised my eyebrows. "Is that so. Well, that explains it then." "Explains what?" "Er," I said, because I wasn't sure myself. I shrugged my shoulders. "You didn't recognise me because of what I'm wearing," she said. "Or rather, what I'm not wearing." I was finding it hard to stay in touch. If I couldn't be clever I ought to be honest. "You're probably right," I agreed. "You didn't know I had grown up a bit." "I guess not." "And grown out a bit." "No, I guess not." "Now you do." "I guess so." "You know, we watch you and we wonder about you. We've all tried to be friends with you but you seem to be very vague with us. Do we annoy you? Me and my family, I mean." "No." I was surprised. "Good heavens. Of course not." I shrugged again. "I went through some hard times and it has taken me a while to get on my feet." She nodded. "We know the story." Again I was surprised. "Do you?" "Everybody knows it. You're the neighborhood mystery man." I didn't understand why anybody should take any interest in me. "Really? There's no mystery, I'm afraid." "But there is. You're still a young man, nice looking, well off, obviously smart. My mother says you've just taken a holiday from life for a while." "It's been no holiday. This is the first holiday for a long time. I guess your mother is more or less right. Where is your mother? Is she here?" "Dad stayed home to work. It's me and mother and my sister. They're back at The Excelsior. Where are you staying?" "The big place with the bright blue front. I keep forgetting the name but I know where it is." "It's called The Esplanade," she said helpfully. "We go down to the beach in front of The Excelsior every morning at about ten. But we walk along a bit to the right until we get to our favourite spot near the rocks. Why don't you come down and see us tomorrow? We're always right at the top of the beach among the dunes." Suddenly she laughed and put her hands on her breasts. "Sorry. Was I staring again?" "I just remembered. We take off our tops. That's why we go to that spot. Now I've asked you to join us." She laughed again. "This is great. Hey listen, I won't tell mother or Sophie I've seen you today, and tomorrow at 10.30 you can wander along and I'll see you and call out and bring you over. We'll all be topless. Sophie will freak. Hey, let's do it. What do you say?" "Amy, look..." "Well, I'll be topless, for sure," she interrupted. "I'm unbelievably curious as to how mother and Sophie will react. I mean, they don't give a fig about being seen on the beach and there's a lot of topless bathing here. But you're somebody from home. It will be great fun." "I don't play games any more," I said. "Then you should. Do it just for me. At least you'll get a chance to look properly at what you've been staring at." "I wouldn't do that." "Of course you would. All men do. I don't mind. And anyway, mother would like to see you, I'm sure." She laughed again. "After she puts her top on, perhaps. It'll be great." "I don't think so." She stood up. "I have to go, so I'll leave it up to you. Be there at 10.30 and I'll look after the rest." She waved her hand at me. "Bye." I watched her walk away. What a succulent little thing she was. I'd thought she was a schoolgirl. Hang on, she really was a schoolgirl. But here at the beach she seemed to be different. I wasn't going to meet Amy on the beach. I didn't think about it. I put it right out of my head. But at 10.30, without planning for it, I was trudging along the sand wearing a bathing costume, an open shirt, and a towel slung over my shoulder. I walked south towards the rocks, feeling the sand between my toes and picking a path to avoid knots of beachgoers. Many were topless females but I didn't look beyond a cursory glance. I heard Amy call my name and I looked up to see her running at me. Her breasts, though they were meaningful, barely bounced. She had broad pink nipples. She skidded to a stop in front of me and I dragged my eyes up from her chest. "Great," she said breathlessly, her eyes shining. "You came. I thought you wouldn't." She grabbed my arm and pulled me up the beach. We reached the low dunes but I saw nobody. She turned and winked conspiratorially, dragging me along until I saw, between two dunes, two women lying on large beach towels. A radio was playing music. "Mother," shouted Amy. "Look who I found. It's Mr. Denison from over the road." Both sat up quickly, shading their eyes. Then they scrambled. The older woman rolled aside and snatched up the towel as she rose to her feet, winding it around her upper body and the younger flipped over to her stomach and scrabbled to pull the towel around her chest. Too late, too late. Good chest development obviously flowed through the female line. The mother was low-slung and yielding to gravity, heavyish and pointed. The elder daughter was full and broad, carried high and plenty of it. And beside me the younger daughter was already hitting medium and growing fast. I saw it all, noted it, and filed it. The mother, flustered but recovering, held out her hand politely. "Mr. Denison," she said, with the professional smile of an airline stewardess. "How unexpected." She had tucked the towel around her top. Her breasts were crowded, causing a big folded crease between them, and she tugged at the towel awkwardly. The daughter on the sand, Sophie, scowled up at me, squinting in the sunlight and looking over her shoulder. Amy leapt across the sand to stand beside her mother, her breasts jiggling from side to side. I took the woman's hand and pressed it. "An unlikely meeting this far from home," I said. "Mrs. Shaw-Smith, isn't it?" I remembered it suddenly. She was distracted. "Margaret," she said automatically. Then: "Amy, put your top on." Amy looked at her in wide-eyed disbelief. "You're kidding. We've been here a week and I haven't worn my top yet. Now I've got to put it on for Mr. Denison? Mother, three hundred men have seen my breasts this week. Why is he any different?" She waved a hand around her. "There are bare tits all over the beach." "Amy." Her mother's voice was sharp and high. "Do as I say." Mother and daughter looked at each other, eyes locked. Sophie rose from the sand. "Amy's right," she said. "We're here, not back there." She whipped the towel from her body, looked at me for a second, then straightened it and laid it down on the beach. She was flawlessly tanned, her breasts near perfect. She sat down on the towel, hands supporting behind her. Margaret Shaw-Smith looked at one daughter, then the other. She looked back at me. "I guess they have a point," she said. "I'm sorry, Mr. Denison. I guess we should be as we were when you came along and stop treating you differently than anybody else while we're on holiday." She pulled the towel away, her breasts falling free and swaying weightily, nipples big and dark. She took me by the arm. "Won't you join us?" I sat in the midst of six tits, all of them worth looking at, and tried not to. We chatted politely, catching up with what Amy had already told me. "Amy and I have made some friends," Sophie said. "But mother has been having a quiet time. We've been urging her to go out at night." "I'm perfectly happy having a break and a rest, thank you," Margaret said to her daughters. Amy winked at me. "Some days," she said to me, "we go a ways down the beach and sunbake totally nude. An all-over tan, you see." Her mother punched her sharply on the arm. "Amy," she said. "Must you continue to embarrass us?" "It's okay," Amy said, ignoring her. "Heaps of people do it. I've seen more penises this week than I thought I'd see for a good few years yet." Sophie burst out laughing. "Amy, you are such a ratbag," she said. Then Margaret was smiling and I was too and then we were all laughing. "Well," I said, standing up. "I won't be joining you in that, if you don't mind. I should be going. It was delightful finding you here and I hope you continue to have a happy holiday." The three of them stood. Again I was surrounded by very fine breasts. I shook their hands and again Amy winked at me. We parted company and I did not look back, tempting though it was. As the sun was setting I rang Margaret Shaw-Smith at her hotel. "Just a passing thought," I said to her. "How would you like to escape your delightful daughters and have dinner with me this evening?" A pause. Then: "Yes, I would be happy to." We were comfortable company, we discovered. I found her easy to talk to and three hours passed seamlessly. It was an up-market restaurant and she was wearing a low-cut black dress held from her shoulders by thin straps and I looked often at the tanned slopes of her breasts and the deep valley between them. "You know," I said conversationally, "you're probably aware because women usually are that I've been sneaking peeks down your dress." She lifted her head suddenly and sat back. She looked at me warily. "I only mention it," I said, "because earlier today I had the accidental opportunity to look at all of your breasts and I barely did so. Isn't that strange, don't you think? Why should that be so?" She smiled, back at ease. "Conditioning, I suppose." I shrugged. "Perhaps. But still, here I am, guilty as charged taking peeks at mere suggestions of what I've already seen completely." "Peeking is gentlemanly if done with discretion," she said. "Ogling is not." "Oh, I haven't ogled. Not even on the beach did I ogle." She giggled. "We three females came to the conclusion you were highly embarrassed." "Not really. But it is an effort to remain polite in such circumstances. I mean, all three of you are extremely attractive and certainly worth ogling." "Those two are stunners," she agreed. "And so are you, Margaret. I know I said I barely looked, but what I did see I could describe in great detail to fill a page at least." Again there was the wary look in her eyes. She had tiny crow's feet in the corners, sure sign of the advance of time. "If you don't mind me asking, " I asked, "how old are you?" "I don't mind at all. I turned thirty-eight last month. How old are you?" "Thirty-three. But I feel older." "Pardon me, but you look older." "You look younger." "Thanks." "I was sincere." "I know. Sincerely, thanks. These things can get to be important." She smiled almost shyly at me. She seemed at ease once more. "Especially when you have two teenage daughters," I prompted. "I'm not that silly. I can't compete and I don't try to." "Oh, you do pretty well, from my observations. It's all on the page. Legs, bum, waist and bust. You do very well." She looked at me frankly and openly, having crossed some boundary or other. "Chris," she said directly, "are you propositioning me? I'm out of practice and it's hard to tell." I shrugged. "Only in an easy, comfortable, unprepared and preliminary way. I'm out of practice myself. Besides, it all depends, doesn't it?" "On what?" "On how you feel about being on holiday. I think that if I lived anywhere else but over the road, my prospects might be at least encouraging." Her eyes roved my face. "I'm thinking about it," she said quietly. "Which surprises me, because it's not the sort of thing I do." "Not ever? In your married life, I mean." "Once," she said. "A few years ago, and I won't be discussing it further." "And your marriage itself?" That wary look again. "There's no simple answer to that. I've been married nearly eighteen years and that makes things complex." "There's no simple answer to anything. I haven't slept with a woman for three years. Since she died. You know?" She nodded. "So what? I haven't slept with a man for over four months and I share a bed with one. Sometimes, anyway." Things were racing along. Tension and temperature were both rising. "So," I said. "Can you stay out all night?" "I ought not. The girls might suspect but at least they shouldn't know." "I'll pay up and we'll leave straight away." "All right." In my hotel room I asked her to disrobe for me. I wanted the description to go over the page, I said. I don't have a condom, I said. She said that was all right, she had it taken care of. I'm bound to be quick first up, I said. So might I, she said. And she was. Faster than me, as it turned out. Lust kicked in early for her. She wasn't noisy but you could see it in her eyes. We did the deed three times, improving incrementally, and I took her home just before three a.m. She was happy, almost deliriously so. "I'm glad I was indiscreet," she said softly to me outside the foyer of her hotel. "That was lovely." "No guilt?" "None." "The girls?" "I'll tell them nothing." "They'll suspect." "Let them. They won't be difficult about it." "They understand you?" "They understand more than you know." I wondered about that. Hmm. That little minx, Amy. Did she set it up? The answer, I discovered over time, was yes, more or less. The daughters indeed understood more than I knew. I saw them on the beach later that same day. "Have a good time?" asked Amy, distinctly provocative in tone. I ignored the question. "Where's your mother?" "Sleeping in," said Sophie, breasts rolling as she turned over to face me. She was smiling, friendly, the frost gone. "Have a good time?" "Yes, actually." "Good." She rolled back over on her stomach. It's funny how things can turn out. I have this big under- utilised swimming pool at my house and they come over the road frequently in hot weather to use it. All three of them. Bare-breasted usually, even in the presence of the stream of boyfriends attracted and discarded by Sophie and Amy over the past three years. Margaret says the young company keeps her thinking young. We've enjoyed an enduring, relaxed, and friendly relationship, Margaret and I. In the best of worlds, lovers are best friends. We're made for each other, Margaret and I. Funny how Amy picked it.
