By Octavian (This is the last instalment of a previously posted complete story. It has been reposted into smaller segments to make for easier downloading. It is recommended that you read the three earlier instalments before embarking on this, the final part of the story.) Chapter 17 The following morning I was about to get up to make the tea when there was a knock on the bedroom door. Carl had already made it and he came in carrying three cups on a tray. As usual he was naked. There was no doubt that he was proud of his lean and muscular body, and he was now turning a nice shade of brown. He was even more proud of his fully erect cock! When he first came in, Kelly's instinctive reaction had been to pull the sheet up to her neck to cover herself, but she instantly recognised the absurdity of such an action and she left the sheet where it was, just up to her waist. She had a smile on her face as she teased him. "So, making tea gives you an erection then, Carl, does it?" He smiled at her comment but nevertheless remained resolutely erect. And the sight of her bare breasts was hardly likely to reduce his state of excitement, either. He put the tray down on the dressing table. Kelly continued, but without the previous humour. Instead there was a soft sensual overtone to her words. "And what are you going to do about it?" The sudden sexual tension filled the room. "I don't know." She looked at me briefly, but just long enough to let me know she had remembered what I had said to her on our first morning here. She pulled the sheet back. Carl could now see the whole of her naked body. She parted her legs. "Would you like to come in here, then?" The ambiguity was deliberate. He needed no further prompting. He climbed into the bed and manoeuvred himself between her legs in an instant. Kelly reached down to guide his cock and he slipped into her without effort. And then supporting his weight on his arms he began to fuck her. He started off slowly; he did not want it to end too soon and neither did Kelly. There was absolutely no doubt that she adored being on the end of his dick. You could see it in her face, in her open mouth and in her heavy lidded eyes. I nibbled on her earlobe and asked her to touch herself. The very next moment her hand was down between her legs. The words in her ear had just tripped off my tongue. Now it was my tongue itself that was in her ear. She turned her head to kiss me, a long, lingering and loving kiss. Her tongue was dancing with mine. Again I experienced this extraordinary feeling of closeness to her. And then she pulled her lips away from mine in order to speak to Carl. In that soft tone of hers, the tone that she puts on when she wants something, she asked him to fuck her harder. I usually find it difficult to say no to such persuasive entreaties. And so did Carl! She also wanted him to fuck her deeper, judging by the way she had wrapped her legs around his waist, thereby making herself even more open for him. And Carl was doing his level best to fulfil her wishes. Fulfilling them to such an extent, I was concerned her delicate feminine flesh would get bruised. Kelly, on the other hand, was not in the least bit concerned. This may have had something to do with the fact that she was very close to her orgasm, an orgasm that was, at least in part, self-induced. Because on every down stroke his flat stomach was smacking against the back of her hand and the shock wave was transmitted through her finger to her clitoris. And then she was climaxing, her body was convulsing and she was groaning incomprehensibly. She was still on her orgasmic plateau when Carl's semen flooded into her core, just as she was when mine spurted into my hand! And then two minutes later it was as if nothing had happened. He was standing by the side of the bed once more, with a cup of tea in his hand. The only evidence of his encounter with Kelly, being his sticky detumescence. That, and the growing wet patch on the sheet between her thighs. He looked really pleased with himself as he went out of our room. "Don't let your teas get cold!" were his parting words. Kelly recovered quickly and turned to look at me. Her eyes had that usual après-sex sparkle but there was also a broad grin on her face. Something had struck her as funny. "All right then, Kelly, what's amused you?" She couldn't wait to tell me. "When Carl came in with the teas and his erection. Was that what you'd call 'womb' service?" And then she couldn't stop laughing. We had hired the car for two days so that we could see a bit more of the island. Yesterday we'd been at the beach; today we were planning to go to Alcudia. Shortly after breakfast the two of us set off, Carl having declined the invitation to join us. We had reached Felanitz and I was not sure which was the road for Manacor. "Oh, bollocks!" "What's wrong?" And then I saw the sign. We were on the right road after all. "It's ok. I thought I'd missed the turn but there is obviously another way to get there." I looked at her. She was wearing a lemon top and a short blue skirt. She was going brown and she looked fabulous. "I must say, Kelly, you look very tasty today." "Thank you." She leaned across and kissed me on my cheek. I rested my hand on her smooth skin of her upper thigh, just where her skirt ended. My fingers crept up her leg and came to rest on her panties. "You've got some on." I said. I don't know what made me say that, really. It was hardly likely to be something she didn't already know! I suppose it was because I was slightly disappointed. Since we'd been in Majorca she'd often gone without, not least because she knew both Carl and I preferred her that way. "Yes, I had to. I'm still quite wet from this morning." "Didn't you use the bidet?" "Don't you think this is all getting a bit personal, Ben? As a matter of fact I did use it, but obviously it didn't all come out." And then she hummed the signature tune to 'Mastermind'. "So, Magnus, my specialist subject is 'Feminine Hygiene.'" "Sorry, Kelly. I didn't mean to embarrass you. It's only that I was concerned about your little fanny. It was getting quite a hammering this morning." "It's fine, Ben." She smiled at me and then she pulled her skirt up and patted herself through the white lace material. And then she spoke to it! "You're quite used to it by now, aren't you?" She took her hand away and smoothed her skirt down. "Do that again." "What, talk to it?" "No, silly! Touch yourself, I mean. It's very erotic seeing you do that." "I wasn't doing anything, I only patted it." "Well, pat it again." "Why?" I couldn't reply. We were now in Manacor and I was negotiating a rather complicated roundabout. Traffic seemed to be coming at us from all directions. I followed the signs for Petra and soon we were again on the open road. I glanced at Kelly. "What about the holiday. Are you enjoying it, so far?" "Yes, I am, Ben. And I'm so glad you've hired a car. It means we can have some time together on our own and I think that's wonderful. I love it when it's just the two of us." "I'm really pleased to hear you say that, Kelly." "And I mean it too, Ben. Every word." "So you're happy to sleep with me?" "Of course I am. And we do sleep together, Ben, something I don't ..." She suddenly realised what she was saying. "Sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to say ..." I interrupted her. "It's all right, Kelly. You haven't shattered any illusions. I've never considered myself to be God's gift to women." "That is not an issue as far as I'm concerned, Ben, honestly. I love you, and therefore, when we do it there is far more to it than just the sex. You and I make love, Ben, and that makes a big difference." She said it again for emphasis. "We make love Ben. Carl and I don't make love; we just fuck! I'm not saying I don't enjoy it, but that's all it is... a fuck." She kissed me on my cheek again. "You are incredible, do you know that?" "Why do you say I'm incredible, Ben? Because I actually enjoy sex with someone else or because I admit that I do? Or is it because you think it's not normal for a woman to be able to separate sex and love. Men can make the distinction, but apparently women can't. And who says so? Why, men, of course! Is that why you say I'm incredible?" I managed to get a word in edgeways. "Kelly, when I said it, I meant it as a compliment. And I still mean it too. You are incredibly sexy and I love you all the more because of it. And I accept that you can enjoy sex without an emotional involvement. It's not as if you haven't told me before." We had driven through Petra and were now on route for Puerto de Alcudia. We finally arrived at midday and found somewhere to park the car. We did a bit of sight seeing but it was really too hot to do too much. We found a small restaurant close to the harbour. A family was vacating a table just as we got there and we grabbed it. Kelly went to the loo. I glanced around at the people sitting at the other tables, most of whom seemed to be German. I heard a flapping sound above and I turned to look at the pale green awning. One of the cords securing it to the uprights had come undone and every so often a gentle breeze would catch the material. Looking south I could just make out the shape of Mont Salvador in the far distance. We had driven past it that very morning on our way to Felanitz. Kelly returned and started to tell me something before she'd even sat down. "Don't make it obvious Ben, but see that man sitting over there, in the corner, in the blue shirt, with his back to us. Well, I think it's Jeff. I hope he hasn't seen us." "Why? At least you can show him that you do wear knickers, sometimes!" "Ha-ha. Very funny, I don't think. Anyway, he'd be the last person I'd show them to." I looked across at the man just as he got up to leave. Kelly had been mistaken; it wasn't Jeff. She realised it too. "Something tells me that you don't like him, Kelly." She looked at me. "You know, Ben, you're wasted in banking. Someone as astute as you should have been a private detective!" "All right, there's no need to be sarcastic. I didn't realise he'd made such a bad impression on you. You seemed happy enough when he was dishing out the compliments. How was I to know?" "He is very false, Ben. He ladles the charm on but it is so superficial. He gives me the creeps." I was about to tell her that I, too, felt he was shallow when at last the waiter came to take our order. It was so hot that all we really fancied was a salad and a cold mineral water. Once we'd ordered, the service was very quick. And we'd made a good choice too; the salad was excellent. "This is the life, eh, Kelly?" "It certainly beats working for a living." We paid the bill and left. We took a stroll around the small harbour. Being so near the water, we ought to have felt cooler, even if the reason was purely psychological, but it was not the case. The bright sunlight seemed to be intensified as it was reflected off the water and the white paintwork of the boats. Hardly anything or anyone was moving in the intense heat and the somnolence was pervasive. We ambled back to the car, this time letting it run for a while before we got in it. I'd decided we'd drive back via Arta and Porto Cristo, to give us a change of scenery. We'd been driving for about an hour when I asked Kelly if her fanny was still all right. "Why are you so concerned about it? I told you this morning it was ok, didn't I?" And then she answered her own question. "Oh, I know why. Well I'm not going to touch myself, Ben, if that's what you think. Especially whilst you're driving. We'd have an accident." There is a God! We were driving through a wooded area as she was speaking. Ahead of us was a turnoff to the right. On an impulse I took it and found that it led to a small deserted clearing. I parked in some welcoming shade and turned the engine off. "What was it you were saying about an accident, Kelly?" She looked all around the clearing, making absolutely certain that no one else was present. "I find your concern really touching, Ben." She was being very sarcastic. "What I'd really like to find, Kelly, is you touching your concern!" She didn't answer. Instead she raised her bottom out of the seat and pulled the hem of her dress up so that she was no longer sitting on it. And then her fingertips were on the fabric of her panties, and her forefinger was tracing her cleft. "Well, it seems to be ok but you can never be too careful, can you? I think I'd better make absolutely sure, don't you?" She'd no sooner finished speaking than she'd hooked the fingers of her left hand around the lacy triangle and pulled it to one side, exposing her vulva. We were both watching her finger trawl along the increasingly wet channel between her fleshy glistening labia lips. And then she turned to me again. "Don't ever tell me, Ben, that I don't spoil you!" And then my beautiful, oh so sexy wife began to masturbate. Chapter 18 And all to soon it was my last full day. We hadn't planned to go anywhere, but we needed to get some more bread and a few other bits and pieces so we popped into Cala d'Or. We'd done the shopping and were having a coffee in the main street, idly watching the world go by. More specifically I was watching a girl go by, a girl wearing shorts and a low slung bikini top. She was rather attractive, an impression not entirely unrelated to the fact that with every step her ample bosom was threatening to spill out of her top. I was just thinking to myself that you wouldn't have got many of those to the pound when I heard a voice behind me. "Hello, you two!" I turned round. It was Roy and Sharon, our old neighbours. Roy looked at his wife. "So you were right, Shar." We said hello and exchanged the usual pleasantries. They were about to order a coffee so we invited them to join us. It was a big mistake. I'd forgotten how loud she was and the extent to which she dominated her husband. Sharon was addressing Kelly. "I said to Roy, that was you, when I saw you yesterday, didn't I, Roy?" He nodded to confirm but she wasn't taking any notice. She looked around as if to make sure no one could overhear her. She would have done better just to talk more quietly but she was one of those women who could not have spoken 'sotto voce' even if her life depended on it. "When you were at the nudist beach." At these words someone three tables away looked across at us. Discretion was not her strong point, either. "But I wasn't absolutely sure, because you were with someone else." She was quite right. We had gone to the nudist beach yesterday. And she could easily have seen the two of them together. Carl had wanted to go for a walk along the beach and Kelly had gone with him, although she had insisted on putting her bikini bottoms on. Not so Carl, of course. He had wanted no one to be deprived of the sight of his dick! Gosh, I am getting really bitchy. "That would have been Carl, here." Kelly gestured to him with her hand. Sharon looked at him with renewed interest and smiled. Then she spoke again to Kelly in what she imagined to be an undertone. "Oh right. But to be honest, Kelly, I didn't take much notice of his face!" Her laugh was both dirty and exceedingly loud. "He's a friend." "I'm not surprised, dearie." "Ben was there, too." Kelly's voice was somewhat cool. "If we'd have known that we would have come over, wouldn't we, Roy?" He just nodded, poor sod. We'd obviously had a lucky escape yesterday; a naked Sharon was not likely to have been an edifying sight. But, clearly, our luck had run out today. Thank God we'd finished our coffees. We got up to leave. "Enjoy the rest of your holiday," I said. And then we were off, Kelly setting the pace. She was already in the street and marching purposefully to the car. We all cooled off in the pool on our return. Kelly and I got out first and were lying on adjacent sun beds drying ourselves in the warmth of the sun. She was lying on her side, supporting her chin in her hand telling me how embarrassed she'd been when Sharon was talking so loudly. We were speculating as to why Roy put up with her when Carl climbed out of the pool and walked over to where we were. He appeared not to want to say anything and just lay on his side on the sun bed on the other side of Kelly. She turned her head to ask him if he felt better for his swim before resuming her conversation with me. He didn't respond in words but he ran his fingers down her spine, from the nape of her neck to the small of her back. He did it several times and it began to have an effect on her. She arched her back every time his fingers touched the sensitive spot at the base of her spine. And with each repetition his fingers travelled a little further south. Soon they were exploring the valley between her cheeks, then they briefly touched her other opening and finally they were in her cleft. Kelly's reaction, as she felt his fingers there, was an instinctive one and she slid her foot back, thereby raising her knee and affording him more room in which to pleasure her. And pleasure her he did until she could not have been wetter. He ceased fingering her and Kelly glanced over her shoulder as if in reproach. But he'd only stopped in order to move his sun bed closer to hers. Having noticed his erection she could easily guess what his intention was. It was when she had turned back to face me, ostensibly trying to resume our former conversation, that she felt his hands on her hips. He was now lying on his side, and was easing her bottom towards him. She was a willing partner to his sexual choreography, and had even raised herself slightly so as to make her entrance a bit more accessible. She was now at such an angle that I could no longer see her pubis and I could not, therefore, see his cock slide into her. But I knew the moment it did simply by the look on her face. And then she had to stop talking to me because she was no longer able to concentrate on anything save for the wonderful sensation between her legs. But I could still talk, of course. "Does that feel good, Kelly?" "Yes, Ben. It does." There was a real emphasis on the last word. She was looking at me through heavy lidded eyes. One particularly powerful thrust caused her to involuntarily close them. "Do you love that big cock of his?" "Yes." "And do you love it when it's deep inside you?" She spoke very softly, "Yes, I do!" "And when you're full of his spunk?" "Yes!" "Really?" "Yes, really, Ben. I love it!" "Well don't just tell me, Kelly. Tell him!" She was looking into my eyes as she spoke to him; her words interspersed with soft moans. "I love your cock, Carl. It's the most wonderful cock in the whole world. I love it when you fuck me, when you stretch me and most of all when I feel you're trying to split me in two. And I love it when you cum in me. I love it, Carl and I want to be full of it!" She really meant it, too. I will never forget the way she looked at me as he continued to fuck her. At that moment she would have allowed him to fuck her to death, so powerful was her sexual excitement. She could only groan as he continued to pound into her, her breasts vibrating with each thrust. I moved towards her and I kissed her on her lips. She kissed me back with incredible passion. Carl watched us kiss and he increased both the power and the speed of his strokes, almost as if he were angry. I could feel the shock waves coursing through her body from the epicentre that was her vagina. Sensing that my prick was erect she placed my hand on it silently encouraging me to masturbate alongside her. She then began to finger herself and very soon she experienced a massive orgasm. Carl gave one last almighty thrust and I could feel his convulsions as he ejaculated into her. My own hand was busy but not for long, and so forceful was my ejaculation that much of my semen landed on Kelly. She kissed me intensely once more before pulling away to turn her head and to kiss Carl, her hand round his buttocks in a gesture that was more affectionate than sexual. Our passion had been fierce but it had also been fully satiated and it wasn't long before we were all dozing on our respective sun beds. That evening we were all sitting down having a drink before we went out to eat. Kelly looked ravishing. She had her hair up in that delightful way of hers and was fully made up. She was wearing a green top and loose skirt that buttoned all the way down. She had done up enough buttons to protect her modesty, but most of her thighs were visible as the skirt parted when she sat down. Her nipples were already erect in the slightly cooler evening air. Carl raised his glass to us said how pleased he was that we had come out. "I know we had that Saturday night together but there was no guarantee we would all get on here. But it has worked out really well. All the same Ben, I can't say I'm sorry that you're going home!" Kelly interjected at once. "That's not a very nice thing to say, Carl!" "Sorry, Ben, Don't take it the wrong way. I meant that I'm pleased I'll be able to have Kelly all to myself, that's all." "It's all right Carl. I guessed that's what you meant." We went back to the restaurant where we eaten the evening of our first full day here. The intervening ten days had gone so quickly. Much as I tried to enjoy the evening I was only too aware that within twenty-four hours I would be home on my own. Kelly slept with me that night. We made love and afterwards she went to sleep in my arms. In the morning I was getting instructions about what to do when I got home but I wasn't really listening. I was thinking about our relationship. It wasn't that Kelly seemed less affectionate to me, on the contrary. However there were worrying signs that there was more to the relationship between Kelly and Carl than just the obvious physical attraction. There had been occasions when there had seemed to be genuine tenderness between them. I thought about my interrogation of her the day before when she was having sex with him. She had answered yes to every question I had asked but, but there had been one key question that I didn't dare ask, namely whether she loved him. In the throes of her sexual passion she would have answered in the affirmative; of that, I was in no doubt. But I was becoming frightened that she might now say yes, even when she wasn't on the end of his dick. I kissed her very tenderly and she asked me to make love to her. Afterwards we lay there for a while but unfortunately I had a plane to catch. I told her that I was going to miss her and she said that she'd miss me, too. It was reassuring to think she would miss me but somehow I had my doubts. Kelly would be alone with Carl for the next three days. She'd insisted that she didn't love him, that their relationship was purely physical and it was abundantly clear that there was a very strong physical element to it. Kelly was never more excited than when her fanny was stretched around his cock; except that it wasn't being stretched quite so much now, her once tight fanny was definitely looser. But I was more concerned about her heart and the depth of her feelings for him. Could she really be so intimate with him, yet still remain so detached? And what about Carl? What had he once said? That she was absolutely gorgeous. The more I thought about it, the sicker I felt. Yet I only had myself to blame! I was the one that had encouraged her to be sexually adventurous and she had only taken me at my word. Carl had brought a new dimension to her sex life, literally as well as metaphorically. And they would be alone together for three whole days. They would have the opportunity to do and to say all kinds of things to each other. Would she still want to come home to me when her holiday was at an end? But what was the alternative? Asking her to come home with me now, assuming that a flight was available, would only postpone the inevitable. At some future point she would have to choose between us. It might just as well be the end of the week. What a fool I'd been! Chapter 19 We were on our way to the airport. I felt really sad and wished that I had not rejected Kelly's earlier offer to foreshorten her holiday in order to come back with me. But it was too late now. She looked absolutely lovely, too. She was wearing her yellow sundress and sandals of a similar colour. And it was the perfect foil to her deep tan. She'd also put some knickers on! But that was because they were planning to go to Palma once they'd dropped me off and she was adamant that she would not set foot inside the cathedral without any. But I doubted they'd be on for long once they got back to the villa. I sat in the back of the car with her and we held hands all the way. We arrived at the airport all too soon and I got my case out of the boot. I said goodbye to Carl and shook his hand. He had the sensitivity to walk away when I said goodbye to Kelly. "Kelly, you know I really do love you, don't you?" "I know you do, Ben, and I love you just as much." We kissed each other. "You won't forget that, will you?" I shouldn't have said this because she looked as if she were about to cry. I had to walk away because there were tears in my eyes too. I had meant to say something profound, something that would make Kelly realise the real depth of my feelings for her and yet all that I had done was to give her the impression that I didn't trust her. I turned to wave goodbye only to see that Carl was already standing at Kelly's side. When he saw me look back he cupped her breast with his hand as if laying claim to her body. Kelly wanted to spare my feelings and I was pleased to see her push his hand away. I walked into the airport cursing the circumstances that had forced my early departure. I was depressed as my plane took off, and my depression seemed to deepen with every mile that separated my beautiful Kelly from me. I knew that I was really going to miss her during the next three days, days that to me would seem never ending. Kelly, on the other hand, would probably spend the whole time shagging and wonder where the time went! I arrived home in the late evening to a dark unwelcoming house. My mind went back to the last time I had arrived home late, the night Kelly had met Carl. How I wished that I could have turned the clock back. Had I have been able to do so, I would have immediately entered the house and perhaps Kelly might never have had the opportunity to experience sex with Carl. But it was futile exercise, she had! I made myself a drink and went to bed. I sensed that Carl and Kelly would also be going to bed about now. But I made no attempt to masturbate; I could raise neither enthusiasm nor prick. I just wanted Kelly to be here next to me. I did not want her to be in Majorca. But she would be there for three more days. I awoke the following morning only to realise with a sinking heart that the love of my life was not home. I went off to the meeting that had been the cause of my early departure from Majorca. I didn't say much at the start; my mind was a thousand miles away. In spirit I was once more at the villa, with Kelly. But Carl was there in body, rather than in spirit! And at that very moment he was probably in her body, too! Jealousy and anger were now the dominant emotions. Why did I have to lose Kelly to an arrogant self-centred bastard who had a big cock, but fuck-all else? And to think that Kelly had wanted to end her affair with Carl and I had been the one to persuade her against it. I resolved that I would never be so stupid again. If ever there would be a next time! The voice came into my consciousness; the voice of my boss. "What do you think, Ben?" "Pardon." I was playing for time and desperately trying to recall what we were talking about. "I said, 'what is your opinion, Ben.'" "Sorry, I missed that, Paul. I must have drifted off. Probably the jet lag!" Patience was not Paul's strong point. "Ben, It's only a two hour flight for Heaven's sake! No-one gets jet lag coming home from Majorca!" Fortunately, that was my only lapse, and the meeting turned out to be quite successful. That evening when I came home I was, if anything, even more sorry for myself than I had been the night before. I put on an opera that seemed particularly apt, Act 3 of La Boheme. In music that is both beautiful, yet ineffably sad, Rodolfo and Mimi are parting but not before reliving their earlier happier times together. There were tears in my eyes as I sat listening in the empty lounge. I wondered what she would be doing, but just as had happened the night before, there was no sexual excitement to be gained from this inquisitiveness, just an aching sense of emptiness. And I still had forty-six hours to go. Good Lord! I was counting the hours until I saw her! The last time I had done that we had only just started going out and I had subsequently assumed that it was just the intensity of young love. And yet, here I was ten years later doing exactly the same thing! I woke up Thursday morning. One more day to go! And then it was Friday morning and I was euphoric. She's coming home today! And finally, after the longest eighty hours of my life, it was Friday evening, and Kelly was standing in front of me. Carl had brought her home but he did not come in. She seemed very tired. We kissed hello but she appeared to be pre-occupied. I made us both a drink and we sat down in the kitchen. She gave every appearance of being Italian, her deep tan emphasising her Latin features. So I spoke to her in Italian. "I amma so 'appy to 'avva you 'ome, Kelly. To be sure, bejasus and begorrah." She didn't have any Irish blood, of course, but I was on a roll and in the mood to show-off. "Is that so?" She was not amused; on the contrary, she was very abrupt. My mood instantly changed. Relief and happiness were promptly replaced by anxiety, an anxiety bordering on fear. "What's wrong?" The tension in my voice was obvious. I was trying to swallow but my mouth had gone dry. There was a huge knot in my stomach. "Nothing really. I just think we should consider a separation, that's all!" It was a devastating blow to hear Kelly confirming my worst fears. "Why?" I could hardly get the word out. "Why? You're asking me why!" There was an incredulous tone to her voice. I had my head in my hands. "No, Kelly, no! We don't have to separate. I love you, Kelly! You must know that I love you." I was desperately trying not to break down. "You love me, Ben, do you? So why do you encourage me to fuck Carl all the time?" The emphasis on the word 'fuck' could not have been stronger. She was really putting the knife in. And then she twisted it! "But at least he does want to fuck me, and not just watch someone else doing it!" Her remark was mortifying but it was no more than I deserved. I chose to ignore it. "Is it Carl? Are you in love with him?" "I might have been, Ben. I was certainly very fond of him." There was a momentary wistful look and then her demeanour altered, as if she had made up her mind about something, which indeed, she had. "I'm sorry, Ben, I shouldn't have mentioned it tonight. I should have waited till the morning. But I don't want to discuss it any more tonight because I am absolutely shattered. I'm going to have a relaxing bath and then I'm going straight to bed!" Almost as if it was an afterthought, but in fact it was deliberate, she added, "on my own! I'll sleep in the spare room and I don't want to be disturbed. I want time to think." And with a cursory 'goodnight', she went upstairs. I heard her running her bath. I should have gone upstairs to try to reason with her but I think I must have been in shock. I fetched myself a stiff drink, went into the study and sat down on the sofa. I just sat there, and stared at the wall in a daze for God knows how long. My fears had been justified then. God, what a stupid prat I'd been. How could this all have gone so wrong? Why did I let it happen? Kelly was everything I had ever wanted. Once she had been quite innocent, but I had corrupted her. Once she had been sexually content with me, but she could never be so again. She'd wanted us to separate and I would have to live without her. And then I found myself sobbing. I put my hands to my mouth so that Kelly wouldn't hear me. I suddenly felt her hands on my head. I opened my eyes and Kelly was standing in front of me wearing a long white tee shirt. She'd had second thoughts whilst she was soaking in the bath and had decided we ought to talk things over that evening, rather than the following morning. She was crying too. We looked at each other. "Kelly", I said, "I'm sorry, I really am. I love you more than you can ever know. Please don't leave me." I couldn't say any more because of my tears. She pulled me towards her and my cheek was pressed against her soft rounded stomach. The salt was stinging my eyes and I wiped them with the end of her t- shirt. She had nothing on under it but that was the last thing on my mind. "Ben," I heard her say, "How do you think I felt when you kept pushing me towards Carl, when you actually said you preferred me to have sex with him instead of you? And when I offered to come home with you for your meeting and you said I shouldn't bother?" "I'd just assumed that you'd be enjoying yourself so much with him, you wouldn't really have wanted to come home." "Of course, I enjoyed the physical side - what girl wouldn't? But it's not everything. I told you that in the car. I would happily have come home early with you, Ben, honestly." "But you seemed so affectionate to him" I said. "What are you saying, Ben? That it was okay for Carl and me to shag each other stupid, provided that at other times we only shook hands!" I had to smile at the patent absurdity of the idea. "Anyway, Ben, you have to understand. You can't have sex with someone all the time and not get emotionally involved. I thought I could but..." She paused, and made an effort to compose herself. "Look, I admit that I started it, but don't forget I was also the one who was prepared to end it. And you didn't just talk me out of it, Ben, you gave me the distinct impression that you wanted it to continue!" With that she sat down on the sofa. "It was because it was a real life fantasy, Kelly. I knew we both enjoyed fantasies. I thought a real life one would be even better, that's all." "Yes, I do enjoy fantasies, Ben, and do you know why? I'll tell you. It's because no one ever gets hurt in fantasies. No one feels degraded in fantasies. No one ever regrets what they've done. But reality is very different. In real life people do get hurt, people do have regrets." I looked into her eyes. "I never ever meant to hurt you, Kelly." "It's not just you, Ben. "What are you trying to tell me?" She took a deep breath. "I was infatuated by him, Ben. I might even have been in love with him for a while. But it's over between us and I'm never going to see him again." She dissolved in tears. I got up to fetch some tissues. "Do you want to tell me about it, Kelly?" She wiped her eyes before she answered me. "Do you remember what I told you when I came back from Paris, that there were times when I'd do anything Carl wanted. Well after you'd gone home, he told me wanted a video of us together. He said we were so good we should have a record of it. He also said that you might like it too. He assured me it would be private." "Go on." "So I agreed to it. What he didn't tell me was that he would get Jeff to make the video! When he turned up I was furious and ready to walk out. He pleaded with me to go through with it saying that someone had to operate the video camera, something to do with angles and zooming and other stuff I can't remember. He reminded me that Jeff had already seen me virtually naked anyway, and asked me why I should be so concerned. I know I shouldn't have agreed to it, but I did." She began to cry again. I was totally unprepared for this and I wasn't very tactful. Fuck me, she didn't even like the man! "Kelly," I asked, "how could you have done it in front of Jeff? I presume we are talking about the same Jeff who, if my memory serves me correct, gives you the creeps?" She was now in floods of tears, sobbing her heart out. I pulled out some more tissues from the box and gave them to her. She wiped her eyes and blew her nose. "Because I'm a tart, that's why! Carl thinks I am and from your question it is clear that you do too. Well at least the three of us can all agree about that!" "Kelly, what are you talking about? I don't think you're a tart. The definition of a tart is a prostitute, or a promiscuous woman. Someone indulging in casual sex. Look it up for yourself. You went with Carl because you wanted to. There are probably thousands of women who would like to do what you did, but they're conditioned to think that if they were to do the same, they'd be tarts. I was just surprised, that's all." "Well, Carl thinks I'm a tart. And how do I know? Because he promised me to Jeff, that's how. I flew off the handle at him, demanding to know what gave him the right to make such decisions about me. It was my body and I would decide whom I offered it to, not him. How dare he assume that I would consent to it? He asked me why I had suddenly become so coy and the implication was obvious. I told him he had made it perfectly clear what he really thought about me." She looked at me, her chest heaving in her anger. "And then what happened?" "He immediately apologised but I can't forgive him." She continued dabbing her eyes with a tissue. I tried to change the subject. "What about the video, Kelly, where is it?" "Oh I don't know, Ben. Carl's got it. What does it matter, anyway?" She was right about the video. That didn't matter, but something else did, and it mattered very much indeed. "So it is over between the two of you?" "He used me, Ben. He won't be using me again. I'm not going to see him anymore and I've told him so." My own conscience was not that clear. I had used her too! "Kelly, you must understand that Carl sees all women in the same way. They are a challenge and the attraction for him is in the chase, if you like. Once he's get what he wants, once he knows that you care for him, he loses interest. He wanted a video of the two of you together. Maybe he likes to have a record of his conquests. Maybe your agreeing to it makes him feel he has control over you. Promising Jeff that he could have you was a further manifestation of his control. He can now move on to his next challenge. That's why he's never had a long-term relationship. And that's probably why he'll never have one in the future. But Kelly, he doesn't matter any more. You do! I don't care what you've done. I adore you, Kelly. I know I can't compete with Carl in some respects, but he could never have loved you the way I do. And I know I'll never stop loving you. But if you don't love me anymore ... " I was too choked to complete the sentence. I started her off again. "Oh Ben, I don't want to leave you. I love you. I've loved you ever since you were a little boy. I don't love Carl. I might have done once but I don't love him now. Carl has a big cock, but that's all he has got. I know you feel inferior because you're not as big as him, but believe me, you are a much bigger man. You have qualities that Carl will never have. But you don't realise it. You are a much nicer, more caring person. And you make me laugh." She recognised that her tears contradicted the last remark and she added, "usually." She loved me! She loved me! I kissed her and put my arms round her cuddling her as tightly as I could. And as we kissed our tears mingled. We went to bed and I continued to hold her tightly in my arms. I said, "It will only be the two of us in future, Kelly, I swear." I have never been more serious in my life. "I hope so, Ben." She fell asleep in my arms but I stayed awake. I thought about how close I had come to losing her. How could I have been so stupid? But it had also made me realise how much I loved her and how lucky I was that she still felt the same about me. Carl phoned the following day. Kelly reiterated what she had said before. He was half expecting her decision anyway. Two months later, he'd moved to California. And at this point I should have been able to write that we lived happily ever after. But there was still a surprise in store. Chapter 20 Things were gradually returning to normal. Kelly had got over Carl it seemed, but there were a few tears when she heard that he had gone to California. Outwardly, at least, she radiated the warmth and general happiness that was such an integral part of her attraction. All in all, things were going well. We were even in preliminary discussions about adopting a child. One Saturday morning there was a knock at the door. It was the postman and he had a parcel for me that required my signature on delivery. It was postmarked Los Angeles but I did not recognise the name or address on the back. I opened it and saw that it was a videocassette, entitled 'Majorcan Pleasures'. There was a note enclosed. It was from Carl! I thanked my lucky stars that Kelly was out. She had left quite early to go shopping in the West End. I picked up the note to read it. There was no address shown. 'Dear Ben, I thought you might like this souvenir of Majorca. I hope it brings back happy memories. You might be interested to know that this video is selling very well here. Some punters have even told me that Kelly's the hottest thing they've ever seen; not only can she fuck on camera, but she can also act. I told them she wasn't acting at all. This is a tart who REALLY loves to fuck! Who REALLY adores big cocks! Mind you, who can blame her? She's not getting enough at home, is she? Best Wishes Carl. ps Jeff asked me to pass on his regards to Kelly.' What a bastard he was! I tore the note up and put it straight into the dustbin, rearranging other rubbish on top of the pieces of paper. I should have destroyed the video too, but my curiosity got the better of me. I made myself a coffee and went into the study to watch it. It began with a picture of Carl's villa in Majorca and then the title 'Majorcan Pleasures' appeared. There were a couple of credits and the film started. The camera panned out from the villa and the distant hills came into sharp focus. It was evident that Jeff knew how to use a video camera; the picture quality was excellent. The villa was again in shot and then there was a view of the swimming pool. The water was sparkling as myriad tiny wavelets momentarily reflected the rays of the sun. The camera then focussed on the empty terrace. But it wasn't empty for long. A girl came into shot, walking away from the camera and towards the pool. There could be no doubt. It was Kelly and she was naked apart from her high heels. The cheeks of her firm round backside were undulating in that familiar way of hers. She stood at the edge of the pool, slipped off her heels and gracefully dived in. She swam to the end and back and then climbed out using the steps. As she shook the water from her hair, the camera zoomed in on her breasts and the pinpoint sharp image showed the beads of water on them, the goose pimples and her fully erect nipples. The shot zoomed out as she walked towards the camera and it was her breasts gently swaying that caught the attention. God, she looked divine! She then lay on a sun bed, her legs slightly open. The cameraman now focussed on her triangle, except that it was heart shaped once more, and she had again removed the hair from the sides of her labia. Then the shot changed to a wide angle and the camera panned round. A man was walking towards her. It was Carl. He too was naked and his tanned muscular body seemed to be gleaming. With each step his long, thick but still flaccid penis swung from side to side. He moved next to Kelly's sun bed and stood there. As she looked up at him, the camera zoomed in so that only her face and Carl's penis were in view. You could see the sexual hunger in her eyes. In full shot again Carl squatted down and kissed Kelly on her lips. Then he was kissing her shoulders, her hands, her breasts, and he continued down to her stomach. He then began to kiss the outside of her thigh before he gently raised her leg and ducked under it. Starting at the inside of her knee he was able to trawl his tongue up her inner thigh and on to her groin. She instinctively opened her legs wider as Carl reached her vagina. Using both hands he pulled the pink full labia lips apart. Her inner flesh was already glistening with her secretions as his tongue delved down into her wetness. Then he began to lap the full length of her cleft, paying special attention to her clitoris. The camera was now on Kelly's face. She cried out as she climaxed and it was her body convulsing that filled the screen. Carl now extricated himself and again stood over Kelly. His prick hung down over her face. Kelly just looked up at Carl and opened her mouth. He immediately lowered his cock into it. Without taking her eyes from his, she started to suck the end of it, simultaneously stroking that part of his shaft that she could not encompass in her mouth. He could not fail to respond to such loving attention and soon he was totally erect. His heavy testicles were now receiving her oral caresses and I watched as she took first the one and then the other into her mouth. She carried on in this way for some little while and would have carried on even longer but Carl now wanted to fuck her. He took a spare sun bed cushion and laid down on his back, his massive cock proudly erect. Kelly knelt down on all fours, and positioned herself so that her opening was directly above it. Then she lowered herself on to it, and it disappeared into her in one smooth motion. They kissed, a frantic almost violent kiss, with tongues and lips mashing together. She began to ride up and down on Carl's fierce erection. Whatever else Jeff may have been, there was no doubting his consummate professionalism when he was behind a video camera. This time there was a close up shot and the screen was filled with the sight of Carl's cock, sheathed in Kelly's soft vagina. He was thrusting upwards to meet her downward movements and it was clear that he was nearing his climax. There was one more powerful attempt to spear her and his body went rigid. His backside was off the ground as he started to pump his sperm into her. And as he continued to ejaculate, his fingers were digging into her buttocks, pulling her onto him as if he wanted to fuse their genitals into one orgasmic entity. As his emissions grew weaker, so did the pressure of his fingers, until he was only resting his hands on her soft roundness. Then, when she was certain that he had finished, she lifted herself off his cock until only his crown was still in her. She began to inch herself forward whilst still maintaining contact with it. With a start I realised what she was planning to do; she was intending to squat over his face. She reached the point of no return and his glistening cock slipped out of her and flopped onto his stomach. A thick globule of semen fell out of the dark hole that led to her core. She quickly moved forwards and I watched with bated breath as she lowered herself on to his mouth. And then his tongue was in her opening, seeking out his own juices. The camera zoomed in even closer. Another globule of milky white sperm appeared, and he licked it up with the tip of his tongue before transferring it to his mouth. This went on for some while. At one point Kelly gently squeezed her labia with her fingers and forced some more out. Carl immediately put his mouth to her and I could even hear the sound of him sucking it up. I had hoped that I had learnt my lesson, that I would have been able to watch this video without getting an erection, but I couldn't help it. I had an almighty hard-on! A little while later, Kelly lifted herself off his face and looked at him. He had managed to swallow most what she had returned to him but there was some on his chin. She licked him clean and then she kissed him, her hands holding his face with real tenderness. There was more intimacy implicit in this one kiss than in anything that had gone before. I rewound the videotape and replayed their kiss. No, I was not mistaken, although I fervently hoped that I had been. It was patently obvious that she was in love with Carl. Maybe it had lasted only until she'd found out that he'd promised her to Jeff, but she had been in love with him when they made the video. I felt real heartache as I watched my wife and the man who had, albeit briefly, supplanted me in her affections. And what had he called her, a tart! He was just too fucking stupid to realise that Kelly had agreed to be videoed with him for love, not because she was a tart! Chapter 21 The next scene threw me for a while. The camera angle was static and the images did not have that nth degree of sharpness that had characterised the previous scene. And then I realised Kelly was unaware she was being filmed. She was sitting at the table on the terrace with Carl. They were talking. "So, Kelly, the end of our holiday. There'll be no more bonking in the sun for a while. And you'll be home with Ben tonight, unless you've changed your mind, that is." "No I haven't changed my mind, Carl. Not after yesterday. I still don't know how you could do it." She turned to look at him and I could see that she had been crying. "Look, Kelly, it was no big deal, you know." "Obviously not, as far as you're concerned Carl, but it is for me. I didn't want to be videoed in the first place. And as for Jeff doing the filming... by the way, where is he?" "He went out this morning. He won't be back for some time yet. Look, we spent long enough yesterday discussing why he was necessary. I don't really want to go over it all again. There is no point shooting a video and then not being able to watch it. Incidentally I have seen some of it. You are terrific. Jeff said that it was one of the best shoots he's ever done." "He's done this before? So how many other women have you been filmed with?" The shock in her voice was genuine. "Only one, I promise. She was American. She knew Jeff and that's how I met him. She was the one who wanted to be filmed, honestly. I was flattered so I went along with it. Now Jeff does a lot of this sort of thing and he told me that I could walk into the porn business. He also told me you are outstanding and I believe him. I'm serious, Kelly, the two of us would make a great team. Don't go back to him; come with me to the States. We could do really well together." Kelly could not believe her ears. "You are saying that you want me to come with you to America so that we can make blue films? Is that right?" He nodded. "And people say that romance is dead!" It was a flippant remark but there was real bitterness in her voice. She looked at him again and then she was looking over his shoulder straight at the camera. "What the hell's going on, Carl? You're not filming me, are you? Turn it off. Turn it off, now!" She was really angry. "It's not on, Kelly. I don't know what sort of bastard you take me for but even I wouldn't do something like that, I swear. The red light is flashing because Jeff is recharging the battery, that's all. There's only one video of you, and that was the one we did yesterday. I'll let you have it as soon as we've finished the editing. I'm sure Ben will be pleased to watch it even if you don't want to." "I don't want the damned video. It will remind me of something I am trying to forget." "I didn't say you had to fuck him, did I?" "No, but how could you even suggest it." "Where's the harm? He's filming you on the job for Christ's sake! I mean you're not exactly an innocent virgin are you? And what's the difference between Ben letting me fuck you and me letting Jeff do the same?" "All the difference in the world! It was my decision to have sex with you, Carl, not Ben's. Mind you, knowing what I now know, I wouldn't say it was one of my better decisions. And likewise, if I fuck Jeff, then that will also be my decision. I won't, of course, because I don't even like the man." "So you think you made the wrong decision about me, do you?" And then he laughed. "What's so funny? I don't see anything to laugh about." "It's us two. How can we argue when we're naked? I'm getting a hard-on, too. How can I argue sporting an erection? Look I'm sorry that I said Jeff could fuck you. Honestly, I'm sorry. Now we can end the holiday on an argument or we can have one more bonk before we go. It's your choice, Kelly." "There is a joke about that and the punch line makes reference to a silver tongued bastard. It's quite apt for you really, especially the bastard ..." She didn't finish the sentence. He was kissing her and I could see her hand instinctively reaching down to grasp his cock. They came up for air. "I want you to suck me, Kelly." She immediately bent her head down but Carl stopped her. "No, I'll sit on the edge of the table. It'll be more comfortable for you." (It also meant a better shot for the video; now there's a surprise!) I watched Kelly's head bobbing up and down as she sucked his cock. Then they changed places. She had her legs over his shoulders as he lapped at her hot wet open fanny. Because of the static camera angle her face was in profile but I could tell she was very close to a climax. He stopped licking her. "Do you want me to fuck you?" "Yes, Carl. I do. I want it now." God, she sounded desperate for it. "All in good time, Kelly." And then he was beckoning to someone. Jeff suddenly appeared! He was naked. "Well, Kelly, what a coincidence! We were only talking about Jeff a moment ago and guess what? He's here." I heard a strangled, "No!" and then I saw Carl grab hold of her legs and bury his face in her vagina. She was kicking backwards with her heels but it was obvious that her resistance was weakening as his tongue was again working its magic on her clitoris. Soon she stopped struggling altogether. Carl broke off once more to speak to her. "Kelly, this is your lucky day. Jeff here is prepared to fuck you, but you'll have to ask him nicely. You know you will ask him because you will do anything I want as long as I lick that clitoris of yours, won't you?" Jeff was standing close by, watching her intensely and slowly stroking his erection. "Yes." "Just for the record, Kelly, are you here under duress?" "No." "Are you free to go if you want to?" "Yes." "Do you want to go?" "No." "Why is that, Kelly? Is it because you are a tart?" "Yes." "Say it again. Tell Jeff and me that you're a tart. We want to hear it straight from the horse's mouth." Jeff butted in. Gone was any attempt at charm, however superficial. His misogyny was evident in his coarseness. "Don't you mean the whore's mouth?" Kelly's voice was flat, her spirit broken. "I'm a tart." "And are you going to ask Jeff to fuck you?" "Yes." She looked at him, at his paunch, at his flabby backside and at his thin erection, which he was still stroking. He was nothing to write home about that's for sure. But she knew Carl's assessment of her was spot on. "Fuck me, Jeff." "I didn't hear you say, 'please'." It was Jeff. The sheer arrogance of the man! What the hell did he have to be so arrogant about, anyway? The fat fucker! It was, alas, a description that was soon to prove to be only too apposite! "Please." Carl had already moved the seat out of the way so Jeff only had to stand between her open legs. He pushed himself into my wife and began to shaft her. The man who gave my wife the creeps was now giving her something else. And it certainly wasn't a good time! Meanwhile Carl was standing on the other side of the table, feeding his dick to Kelly's open mouth. "Jesus, Carl," he said, "She's a bit on the loose side, isn't she? How many more women are you going to spoil for me?" "Let's change places then, Jeff." No sooner said than done! Carl's cock immediately replaced Jeff's, but unlike Jeff, he was also using his thumb to stimulate her clitoris as he fucked her. As always, this quickly brought her to the very brink of an orgasm. And Kelly's inhibitions were rapidly diminishing, in inverse proportion to her sexual arousal. Jeff was now standing by her head and there was only a half-hearted attempt to turn away as he thrust his erection in her face. Whatever feeble resistance there had been, dissipated the moment she felt his sticky crown on her lips. No effort was required on his part to slide it into her mouth. She grasped his shaft, perhaps in an effort to ensure he could not push the whole length down her throat, and then she began to masturbate him. And despite her adverse opinion of him, there was no indication whatsoever that she was doing this with any reluctance. She sucked him and continued to do so until he started to cum. It was only then that she released him. He must have been incredibly aroused because he seemed to go on and on. I watched great wads of his sperm spattering her face and her hair. One particularly large strand hit her eyelid and she had to wipe it away with her forefinger. And then it was Carl's turn. He pulled out of her vagina, walked round the table and positioned himself so that his cock was only inches from Kelly's face. He was masturbating furiously. The camera angle had changed too! It was obvious when I thought about it later. Jeff, having ejaculated, was now operating the video camera once more. And then Carl's spunk exploded on to her. When he had finished Jeff zoomed in to her face. She had semen everywhere, on her forehead, on her cheeks, on her nose, on her chin; she even had it on her teeth! "Smile, Kelly," I heard Carl say, "You're on Candid Camera!" But my beautiful wife wasn't smiling. On the contrary, she was weeping. And she wasn't the only one. I switched off the video and wiped my eyes. Of course! It was all so obvious in retrospect, why he had bought the villa and why it was so secluded. It was a perfect location for filming. That explained Jeff. That explained the Californian connection. I tried to collect my thoughts. One thing was certain. Kelly must never know about the video. I remembered her demeanour when she'd arrived home from Majorca. No wonder she was unhappy. Carl and Jeff had creamed on her that very morning! And she'd said something about... now, what was it? Yes I remember. 'No one felt degraded in fantasies.' She'd obviously felt terribly humiliated. And in an effort to make her understand that she was not a tart I had depicted a pattern of behaviour, the very pattern that she had just exhibited on the video! But I could not blame her for it; it was all my fault and there was no denying it. That was a year ago. We have moved on a long way since then. Our adopted daughter, Petra, has given us more joy than we could ever have imagined and Kelly and I have never been happier. I love Kelly so much that it is hard to put into words. And I honestly believe that she loves me in return. I am so lucky to have her for my wife. But now I tell other people, before they tell me! And our sex life is fantastic too, so good in fact that my collection of porn videos is superfluous and is gathering dust in the loft. However there is one video that I do watch from time to time. It seems to exert a malign influence over me and I find myself drawn to it. I think of it as my secret video, a secret shared only by me, by Carl, by Jeff and by a few hundred other men! When I watch it, I imagine that I am married to a porn star and it never fails to get me going. As for Carl I have had no further communication from him and I hope it stays that way. Our circle of friends has increased significantly since we adopted Petra. Do any of them watch videos? Who knows? But of those that do, what are the chances of any of them seeing Kelly's video? Surely the odds must be a million to one, at least. But if someone of our acquaintance had seen it, how would I ever know? Would you tell your friend that you'd seen his wife in a porn movie? Epilogue Dave read the last page. He had been quite affected by it all. He had been sexually aroused for sure but he had also smiled and even felt a degree of sadness at times. He was sure that it was a true story, not least because of the accompanying videocassette. He turned it over in his hand and inwardly smiled when he reread the title, 'Majorcan Pleasures'. There he'd been, thinking that it was merely a video guidebook for holidaymakers! He had half a mind to take it home and look at it. He could return it in the morning when he came back to finish the work on the house. He decided against this course of action for three reasons. Firstly, it was totally unethical to take an item from someone's house, even if there was every intention to return it. Secondly, he had already formed a picture of Kelly in his mind. He didn't need to know what she looked like. She was certainly quite a girl, of that he was certain. The third reason was the most compelling. He did not have a videocassette recorder! They had been superseded in much the same way as turntables and vinyl records had previously. Now it was all DVDs and films down the telephone wire. Nothing was released on videotape anymore and he did not know anyone who still possessed a machine. The wet pages had dried out, as had the envelope. He put the papers and the videocassette back into it and placed the whole package in the lighter of the two wooden boxes. He completed the rest his work that day on autopilot, he could not seem to get this Kelly out of his mind. Two days later Dave was in the office preparing for his next job. Jim Brown, the owner of the company walked up to him. He was holding a letter and smiling. "Morning, Dave! You remember that job you did for Mrs Mayhew. Well she has written to me. For some reason she is very complimentary about you. It looks as if you've really scored with her. And she's a widow, too. I reckon you could be well in there, my son!" He winked at him. "Oh come on, Jim," Dave replied. "Have you seen her? I know she is a nice lady, but she is at least seventy if she is a day! She's as old as my grandmother!" "So you don't want to read her letter?" Jim went to walk away. "Oh give it here then." "What about your manners!" Jim was still smiling. "Would you please let me read the letter from Mrs Mayhew. I would be most grateful." "Oh, you want to read it, Dave. Why didn't you say?" Jim handed over the letter with an exaggerated gesture. Dave accepted it with a theatrical bow. The first thing he noticed was the very neat handwriting. 'Dear Mr Brown Just a short note to say how impressed I am with your company, and in particular with Mr Dave Parker. He was the model of tidiness and was very conscientious. He was also very reliable and is indeed a credit to your organisation. I would be happy to recommend your company to anyone.' It wasn't so much the letter that surprised him. Brown & Co had received such letters before. It was the signature at the end of the letter. She had signed it 'Kelly Mayhew'.
