Stranger in the Family, Chapter 12

  • Posted on October 17, 2024 at 3:14 pm

A summary of what has transpired thus far. (To get a more detailed breakdown of the previous chapters, please see Stranger in the Family Chapter Links)

Disaster befalls the Luna family of four when lightning strikes Walt, the father, and Kelly, the oldest child at eleven. Walt is killed outright, while Kelly is left in a coma that lasts for weeks. She finally emerges, to the overwhelming joy of her mother Linda and nine-year-old sister Gabby – but with no memory of her family or her life, and an altogether different personality. Kelly now speaks fluent Spanish, no longer eats meat and, most crucially, has a serious attraction to women and girls, despite never having had sex of any kind.

At first, Kelly openly flirts with every female in her presence – including her mother, her little sister, her Aunt Jan, and the neighbors: divorced mother Cheryl (Linda’s best friend) and her daughters – sixteen-year-old Ali, and nine-year-old Pam (Gabby’s best friend). But soon Kelly realizes that this direct approach is more apt to make others uncomfortable than entice them into bed, so she tones it down.

However, two members of Kelly’s family are fascinated by the eleven-year-old’s sexual vibe. The first is Gabby, who has already been playing masturbation games with her friend Pam, so Kelly is easily able to begin the seduction of her younger sister. The second is Aunt Jan, who is openly gay but secretly into underage girls, with a hidden library of illegal DVDs to prove it. And while Kelly’s mother Linda is thus far immune to her daughter’s sexual charms, she is thinking quite a lot about lesbian sex after the death of her husband. Linda and her sister Jan were lovers back in their teen years… and Jan is hinting she’d like to pick things up where they left off.

Around this time, one night while her mother and little sister are asleep, Kelly slips out of bed and quietly makes her way to Cheryl’s home. There, she ends up in a sizzling threesome with Cheryl and her daughter Ali who, as it happens, are already lovers.

The next day, Kelly offers Cheryl an opportunity to spy through an outside window as she performs oral on Gabby and Pam. Cheryl very much wants to bring her younger daughter into the sexual relationship she has with Ali, so she jumps at the chance. Needless to say, Kelly and the girls have a wonderful time, and Cheryl sees the whole thing without being noticed. 

The next day, Linda takes Kelly and Gabby to stay with their Aunt Jan for the weekend, so she can spend that time at a spa.  While she’s there, Linda confesses to her sister Jan that she’s been thinking about the two of them becoming lovers again.

Once Linda leaves, Kelly commences her own seduction of Jan. Her aunt resists, but Kelly is determined to get what she wants… and that night, she does.

The next morning, Kelly makes love to Gabby on the dining table, putting on a show for Aunt Jan who, unbeknownst to Gabby, is watching from the hallway. After Gabby comes, she offers to lick her big sister’s pussy for the first time, and Kelly is quick to accept.

That evening, Kelly, Gabby and Jan all come together in a threesome for the first time… but probably not the last!

The next day, Linda picks her daughters up for the drive back home. By then, she feels certain her daughters are having sex with each other, and is perplexed to find herself aroused by the thought of it.

Later, she pays a visit to Gabby in her room, intent on having a chat with her youngest daughter about sex. Deciding to be honest with her mom, Gabby tells Linda everything she and Kelly have been up to, including their weekend with Aunt Jan. Linda is so turned on by Gabby’s revelations that she impulsively offers to touch her nine-year-old until she comes. Gabby is quick to accept. Afterward, Linda promises that they can make love again… and Kelly can join them. She asks Gabby to keep what they’ve just done a secret for the moment.

The next day, Linda takes both her daughters to the town’s Fourth of July celebration, as does Cheryl. There, Pam invites Gabby to a sleepover, where they’ll be hanging out with her big sister Ali. Pam goes on to share a surprise with Gabby: she and Ali had sex the night before, and they both want to let Gabby in on the action. Gabby asks if Kelly can come, too. Of course, Pam loves than idea.

However, the fireworks display frightens Kelly so badly that Linda is obliged to take her home. She has to pass on the sleepover, but Ali, Pam and Gabby are determined to have fun anyway.

What the younger girls don’t know is that Ali has come up with a scheme to find out if either of them is interested in sex with her mother. At an agreed-upon time that evening, Cheryl undresses and lies on her bed masturbating with the bedroom door slightly ajar, then Ali leads Pam and Gabby to that open door, intent on doing a little spying. As the chapter ends, the three of them are tiptoeing naked down the hall toward Cheryl’s room.

And that brings us to this chapter. Please enjoy.

Gabby’s heart was racing like mad as she, her best friend Pam and Pam’s big sister Alicia approached the bedroom door, all of them naked.

This might not have been the craziest thing she’d done in the last few weeks, but it was surely in the top three. Ali was taking them down to peek into her mother Cheryl’s bedroom. There, they would get a good look at Cheryl completely nude, spread out on her bed and masturbating. “She does it every night about this time,” the teen told them.

Alicia took the hands of the two nine-year-old girls, and together they slipped into the dark hallway.

This is so wild, Gabby told herself. Moments earlier, she was admiring the sight of Pam and Ali’s mom in her nightie, when Cheryl had popped in to tell the girls she was turning in for the night.

The sight of her friend’s scantily-clad mother had turned Gabby on something fierce, and now she’d been offered the chance to see Cheryl bare naked. No way was she going to pass up an opportunity like that!

They advanced down the corridor, lit only by a sliver of light issuing from Cheryl’s bedroom. The door was slightly ajar. As they drew close, Ali put a finger to her lips, cautioning the youngsters to be quiet.

***

Glancing at the clock, Cheryl registered the time. 12:25 PM. Close enough, she decided.

Discarding her nightie, then slipping out of her thong, she spread herself out naked on the bed and began to caress her bare body. She’d already worked out which lighting looked best and what position to take so that anyone peeking through the door would see her pussy and ass. The thought of the girls seeing her like this already had her wet.

Cheryl took a deep breath, bracing herself. You got this, girl. Put on a good show and you could be fucking your little girl tonight. Oh, Pam, I love you so, and I’ve wanted you for so long…

And Gabby. Ever since I saw that child out of her clothes, I can’t stop picturing her, legs spread out, waiting to be licked. Bet her pussy is sweet as candy.

Moistening two fingers in her mouth, Cheryl reached between her thighs and began to stroke herself, all the while listening for movement in the house.

***

Ali peered through the gap in her mother’s open door, pleased to see that Cheryl was already naked and masturbating. Turning to Pam and Gabby, she gave a thumbs-up, then stood back, allowing the younger girls to draw closer.

Pam gasped, though she quickly stifled it, and Gabby’s mouth dropped. As for Ali, she wasn’t looking into her mother’s room, but at the two girls, silently rejoicing to see Gabby and Pam absently touching their smooth slits.

Now Ali looked in again to see what her mother was up to. By then, Cheryl was on her knees, face sideways on the pillow as she fucked herself from behind. The woman’s legs were spread wide enough that the hot, juicy flesh of her cunt could easily be seen, as well as the darker cleft of her butthole.

“Oh… oh God, yes,” Cheryl moaned, thrusting into her vagina with such force that it made a squishing sound. “Lick me, lick my cunt! Ohhhhhh!”

When laying plans for this little performance, Ali and Cheryl decided it would be best to keep it short and very intense – just enough to imprint the image in the youngsters’ minds; get them to see Cheryl in a sexual context.

Ali signaled to the girls, letting them know it was time to go. They reluctantly followed, wistfully glancing back at Cheryl’s door.

Once in Ali’s room with the door closed, Gabby and Pam were beside themselves with excitement.

“That was awesome!” Pam exclaimed. “I never knew Mom was so, so hot!”

“She always has been,” Ali smugly replied. “Took you long enough to notice.”

“Why couldn’t we watch longer?” Gabby asked, pouting a bit.

Ali shook her head. “We can’t take a chance on getting caught. If that happens, not only would we get in humongous trouble, Mom will start closing her door when she herself gets off, and then we won’t get to see anything. Besides,” and she broke into a huge grin, “that got me so worked up that I had to bring you guys back here right away. Now, c’mon – let’s fuck each other silly!”

Pam and Gabby shared a wide-eyed glance, then jumped on the bed together, laughing and bouncing with abandon like the little girls they still were.

“Well, I already thought your mom was sexy,” said Gabby. “When she came in to tell us goodnight… oh my gosh, that nightie she wore! I’d LOVE to do sexy stuff with her.”

“Huh,” Pam murmured, pondering Gabby’s remark. “I never even thought about doing it with Mom… but heck, why not?” She giggled. “If I can fuck my sister, I can fuck my mother!”

Yes, yes, YES! Ali thought. “Makes sense to me,” she said.

“Now I wish we could’ve gone right into Mom’s bedroom, ‘stead of just watching,” Pam mused.

Gabby frowned. “Wouldn’t she get mad at us?”

“Ha! If she did, I’d do this, and I bet she wouldn’t be mad for long!” Pam flopped down on her tummy between Ali’s legs and began to lick her big sister’s pussy.

“What the fuck…” Ali was caught by surprise, but quickly recovered. She stared at her little sister for a moment, then closed her eyes as she lay back, moaning, “Oh, yeah… who could get mad at that? Don’t stop, Pam!”

Gabby watched her best friend lick her big sister’s pussy for a moment, then began to masturbate. Wow, this is so, SO cool! Too bad their mom’s not here to see this…

Then she had an interesting thought, one that stopped her in mid-stroke. She pondered it, slowly nodding as it played out in her head.

Yeah… I totally have to do this.

Getting to her feet, Gabby made her way to the door, slipping out into the hall. Ali was lying back, eyes closed while Pam ate her pussy, and didn’t notice her sister’s friend leaving the room.

A few seconds later, sensing something was off, Ali looked up. “Um… Gabby?”

Pam raised her head. “Huh? Wait – where’d she go?”

“Dunno,” Ali murmured, glancing over at the bathroom door. “She had to pee, I guess.”

“Mmm, okay.” Pam got back to work, thrusting her tongue into her big sister’s cunt.

Meanwhile, Gabby tiptoed down the hallway to Cheryl’s door, which was still slightly ajar. Peeking inside to assure herself that yes, the woman was still masturbating, she gently knocked.

Cheryl was sitting on the edge of her bed, legs spread, two fingers plunging in and out of her dripping pussy. She’d been edging herself for nearly half an hour, and was drawing steadily nearer to release. Hearing the knock at her door, she looked up, startled. “Who – who’s there?” she stammered.

“It’s me,” Gabby answered, then slowly pushed the door open and moved into the room.

Frozen to the spot, Cheryl stared in mixed disbelief and awe at the naked nine-year-old. My God, so lovely. And the way she’s looking at me, like a sweet treat she’s been waiting forever to taste.

“Cheryl?” Gabby shyly began. “Um, me, Ali and Pam did something kinda naughty… we spied on you while you were t-touching yourself. See, Ali said she watches you doing it all the time, so me and Pam… well, we asked her to let us watch, too.”

“It’s okay, Gabby. I’m not upset,” Cheryl said, looking the nude child up and down and licking her lips. “Did you enjoy it?”

“Oh, lots and lots… but that’s not why I’m here. What I came to tell you is that we’re having a lot of fun in Ali’s room with all our clothes off. Like, when I left, Pam was licking Ali’s pussy.”

Cheryl’s eyes widened. “Oh, my.

“Anyhow,” the child continued, “I just thought that maybe instead of being alone, you could come join us. Pam wants to lick you too, she said so!” Gabby gave Cheryl an angelic smile, bashfully scuffing the carpet with her big toe. “Wanna come and play?”

It was what Cheryl had wanted for years. My secret desire… and now it’s within reach.

“Okay, sure. I’ll come with you.” Getting to her feet, she reached for the little girl’s hand, and they padded into the dimly lit hallway, making their way to Ali’s door.

As Gabby slowly eased the door open, Cheryl took a deep breath, then peered into Ali’s room.

What she saw made her head spin. There was Ali, spread out on the bed, clutching handfuls of the sheets, her face a vision of perfect ecstasy. Between her legs lay Pam.

Cheryl almost came on the spot at the sight of her youngest daughter’s bare bottom, jiggling slightly as she licked and sucked Ali’s cunt. Pam’s legs were spread apart, her twin holes on full display.

Ali moaned, her eyes briefly drifting open – then they widened in astonishment at the sight of her naked mother, side by side with Gabby. A delicious shiver raced through the teen’s slender frame. “Oh, yeah,” she whispered.

Sensing something had happened, Pam raised her face from Ali’s pussy and glanced over her shoulder, warm cunt honey glistening on her lips. There was Mommy, hand in hand with her best friend and gloriously nude.

Cheryl released Gabby’s hand as she drew close to her girls. Climbing on the bed, she crawled to Pam, who turned to face her mother.

“Precious child,” Cheryl murmured, on the verge of joyful tears. “My pretty Pammy. Can I… can I kiss you?” She caressed the girl’s cheek. “A kiss from Mommy, yes?”

Gazing up at her mother, a dreamy-eyed Pam slowly nodded. “Yes,” she whispered. “Yes, please.”

Taking her time, Cheryl bent to her daughter, parting her lips. Then, just before their mouths touched, Pam extended her tongue to meet Mommy’s kiss. Cheryl moaned in mixed surprise and excitement, wrapping both arms around Pam as their kiss deepened, grew heated and passionate.

“God,” Ali breathed, frantically masturbating as she watched this beautiful, forbidden scene play out. Still standing at the foot of the bed, Gabby began to stroke her own slit.

When their kiss broke, Cheryl gathered Pam up in her arms, cradling her child like a baby. With a bashful smile, she said, “That was wonderful, pumpkin. Now, I want to make love to you.”

The child’s face positively glowed with happiness. “I… I’d like that.”

Cheryl gently lay Pam down on her back, then kissed the girl again. Their tongues briefly mingled, then the woman set off on a journey of exploration, nuzzling a pathway down her daughter’s body.

Pam whimpered when Mommy took a tiny nipple between her lips to suck, then cried out loud when she gave it a playful bite. Cheryl pleasured the other breast the same way, then continued downward to kiss the nine-year-old’s tummy, burying her face in its softness before darting the tip of her tongue into Pam’s belly button, which elicited a squeal of laughter.

But Cheryl had another destination in mind, and a trembling little girl watched as her own mother placed a soft kiss on the rise of her mons, then moved in to lick.

“Oh… oh, yes, Mommy.”

Gabby’s heart throbbed as she watched her friend get licked by her own mother – like Mom promised to do to me soon, she reminded herself. Then her attention shifted to Cheryl’s nice round bottom. She was on her knees on the bed, her backside sticking up and thrust out enough to show her lady parts. Oh wow, she looks soooo yummy!

She couldn’t just stand there and look, not any more. Licking her lips, Gabby climbed onto the bed and knelt behind Cheryl, grasping the woman’s shapely buttocks with both hands.

Cheryl felt little hands spreading her ass open, then a warm, wet tongue trailing through her crack. Ali was still leaning against the headboard and fingering her cunt, so it had to be Gabby who was licking her anus.

Omigod, she marveled. How did a girl that young learn to rim? She’s damn good at it, too.

Then Gabby brought her other hand into play, cupping Cheryl’s pussy while continuing to pleasure the older woman’s asshole, then working two fingers into the juicy opening. Cheryl’s warm thick fluids oozed down her inner thighs and all over Gabby’s hand.

Cheryl began to come, her muffled moans stimulating Pam’s clit. This caused the child to seize her mother’s head and hang on to it for dear life as her own orgasm came crashing down.

Watching her sister and mother come was enough to bring on Ali’s moment of release, her hips bucking as she blurted, “Oh, fuck. FUCK!”

The room was awash in the thick aroma of cunt as the four lovers snuggled together, resting from their pleasures. Gentle touches were exchanged, words of affection whispered, at least until Cheryl sat up to exclaim, “Hell’s bells, Gabby – no one’s made you come yet!”

With that, a grinning Pam and Ali pounced on the nine-year-old. They got her up on all fours, and just like that, the sex party began again.

Cheryl was quick to position herself behind Gabby. “Your ass is mine, young lady,” she said, then buried her mouth in the cleft of the little girl’s flawless bottom. Ali scooted beneath Gabby to feast on her slit. As for Pam, she rested her head in Ali’s lap, then gave Gabby upside-down kisses while caressing her friend’s flat chest.

With all this attention, there was no way Gabby could hold out for very long. Sure enough, before three minutes had passed, she was panting her way through a shuddering climax.

By that time, Cheryl and her daughters were aroused again and ready for more – as was Gabby, once she’d caught her breath. Before long, all four of them were caught up in a full-on orgy, trying any and every idea their wicked minds could summon up.

They spent nearly two hours making love, reveling in the taboo delights of lesbian incest until everyone was exhausted, sated, and very, very happy. Exchanging sleepy kisses, they all crawled beneath the sheets of Ali’s king-size bed and quickly fell asleep.

Gabby drifted off last, her mind buzzing with possibilities. I’ve GOT to get Mom and Kelly in on this! she told herself. Aunt Jan, too. I’m the only one who’s done sex with all of them, so maybe it’s up to me to try and make it happen. Better talk to Kelly about it first, though.

Placing a feather-light kiss on a dozing Pam’s cheek, Gabby nestled into her friend and relaxed with a happy sigh. Within moments, she was sound asleep.

 ***

Jan spent the Fourth of July at a party thrown by one of her colleagues and had a lovely time. There was good food, fine wine, stimulating company and pleasant chat – exactly what she needed to relax.

The host and hostess had a swimming pool, so some of the couples brought their children along. Jan spent a good portion of the daylight time lying on a deck chair by the water’s edge with her sunglasses on, which made it easy for her to look at the young girls in their bathing suits without being noticed.

There were four girls who looked to be from eight to twelve, and a boy of about ten or so. Jan was smitten by the girls, all but the youngest in skimpy two-piece suits. Their ripening bodies, wet and shiny as they climbed from the pool. Suit bottoms riding up their pert bottoms, revealing pale above their tan lines. The way they casually slipped their fingers beneath the soaked material to pull it back in place.

Jan was in the right place at the right time, the only adult nearby and out of view when she saw two of the little girls approach the one boy, one of them quietly saying, “We’re going in to get changed now.”’

The boy shrugged. “So?”

The other girl said, “So… you can watch us if you want… but you gotta let us see you, too.”

Jan’s pulse raced as she watched the boy think for a moment, then smile, giving the girls a hasty nod. The three of them went indoors together.

Ten minutes later, they were still in the house when the youngest girl appeared. Running up to Jan, she asked, “Did you see where the other kids went?”

“Um, they went indoors to change,” she replied.

The girl broke into a huge grin. “Thanks!” she chirped, then raced inside to join her friends.

Jan didn’t see the children return until nearly an hour later, and her mind ran wild thinking of what they might have gotten up to behind closed doors. God, I wish they’d invited me, she thought.

Near dusk, she made her goodbyes and headed for home. By the time she’d arrived and gone inside, Jan was feeling restless. The time spent observing and thinking about the children had her throbbing with lust.

Just a couple of days earlier, she’d engaged in sex with her two preteen nieces. Memories of that incredible weekend, coupled with the antics of the kids at the party, had Jan aching to masturbate. She headed to the basement to unearth her secret stash of pot and porn. Jan already knew the DVD she wanted – the one she kept in the case of an old Sound of Music case.

Opening the shoe box, Jan peered inside. Her heart fluttered, then pounded frantically. The disc was missing!

She found a folded piece of paper, one that wasn’t there before. Puzzled, she opened the note.

I borrowed this DVD and a marijuana cigarette. You’ll get them back. Love, Kelly. The O in love was a little heart.

It felt like a block of ice was resting in Jan’s stomach. How could Kelly know, how could she have found my hiding place? she wondered. She sat there a long time, feeling sick. No longer in the mood to touch herself, she went to bed and worried until sleep finally came. It was a restless slumber, plagued by unsettling dreams she couldn’t quite remember.

She rose early in the morning, head aching, wondering what to do. Should I put all my DVDs in the trash? she asked herself, wondering how Linda would react if she caught Kelly with that disc. It was filled with scenes of women making love to little girls, and she’d paid a Danish collector five hundred dollars for it. There were eight other DVDs in the shoebox with more of the same.

In the end, she decided not to throw away her collection. Linda wouldn’t turn me in. She might never speak to me again, I might never get to spend any more time with Kelly or Gabby… but surely she wouldn’t put her own sister behind bars.

Jan finished her coffee, showered and waited until a decent hour of the morning to phone Linda.

***

Linda woke up early, surprised at first to see Kelly sleeping next to her, then recalled the previous evening and how she’d comforted her distressed daughter.

Letting the girl snooze, Linda got up, made her way to the bathroom and took a quick shower. She returned nude and, feeling sleepy again, slipped under the covers, where she snuggled close to Kelly, quickly dozing off.

Waking up about an hour later, Linda opened her eyes to find a misty-eyed Kelly looking at her..

“Wh-what’s wrong?” Linda asked, startled.

“Nothing’s wrong, Mother,” Kelly said, her voice trembling slightly. “I’m just so, so happy that you love me as much as you do. I didn’t know you until we met in the hospital a few months ago, but you’ve known me all my life. Not as I am, but how I was before this happened.” Kelly sighed, briefly closing her eyes. “Before my past got taken away.” She looked up at Linda. “And even though I’m not the same girl, you never let that matter. You were a real mother to me last night. I mean, don’t get me wrong, you’ve been that the whole time! And I just want to tell you how much I appreciate that… and to say that I love you.” A tear ran down her cheek, then another.

“Oh, Kelly,” Linda whispered, taking the girl into her arms. “It took a little time to get used to the change, but I never stopped loving you.” She drew back to meet her daughter’s gaze. “There’s one thing you can do that would make me happy, though.”

“Wh-what’s that?” asked Kelly.

Please stop calling me ‘Mother,’ okay?” Linda replied, carefully wiping the girl’s tears away with a tissue. “You never did before the accident, and I still can’t get used to you saying it.”

“Kelly slowly nodded. “All right, then… Mom.”

“Thanks, sweetie.” Linda kissed the tip of her child’s nose, hesitated, then finally said, “Kelly… you like girls, don’t you? More than boys, I mean.”

Glancing away, Kelly murmured, “Yeah. I’m not sure if, y’know, the old me was gay, but I am. Are you, er, okay with that?”

“Of course I am, sweetie. You are who you are, and I’ll be there for you no matter what.”

Kelly smiled. “That means a lot to me, Mom. Thanks.”

Linda hesitated, trying to work up the nerve to say what she wanted to. Finally, she simply came out with it. “Sweetheart, I know you and Gabby are having sex. I… I also know that the two of you did it with your Aunt Jan. Gabby told me everything on the night you came home.”

Kelly didn’t apologize, nor did she deny it. Instead, she quietly said, “Are you mad at us?”

Looking into the deep, calm eyes of her daughter, Linda trembled inside. “I might have been, a few weeks ago,” she said, struggling to keep her cool, “but now… I’m not sure what to think.” She took Kelly’s hand. Just tell me this. Do you love your sister? Truly love her?”

“Of course, Mom!” Kelly replied. “I adore Gabby. I’d never do anything to hurt her. We… we’re sort of in love.”

“And Jan?”

“Oh, Mom, she’s the best aunt ever! I had to work really hard to get her into bed, though. She kept fighting it, but I wore her down. So you totally shouldn’t be angry at her, ‘kay?”

“Fair enough,” Linda said. “So, um… those feelings you have for Gabby, and your aunt… do you ever think that way about me?”

There was a long silence as the eleven-year-old weighed her mother’s words, then answered, “I wouldn’t be in trouble if I said ‘yes,’ right?”

Linda’s heart was pounding so hard that it seemed to echo through her body. “No, Kelly… you wouldn’t.”

“Then the answer is yes, Mom,” said Kelly. “You’re beautiful and sweet and sexy, and I’d give anything to make love to you, even if it’s just once.”

Now Linda was the one on the verge of tears. My God, she really loves me that much.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “I have to tell you something, Kelly. The other night, I – I made your sister come. I touched Gabby until she had an orgasm.”

Kelly responded with a dazzling smile. “That’s awesome, Mom! Did she do anything to you?”

Linda shook her head. “I think she wanted to… but I wasn’t quite ready for that. Um, we did share a very sexy kiss, though. I was just going to give her, you know, a peck on the lips, but Gabby put her tongue in my mouth. We kissed like that for a long time.”

“Oh, Mom, that’s great. I’m… actually, I’m kind of jealous.”

“Don’t be,” Linda replied, placing a hand on her daughter’s shoulder. “If it’s really what you want, I’d be happy to make love to you, Kelly.”

Kelly frowned slightly. “But is that what you want? If you did it just to make me feel better, I’d – I’d rather not.”

“No, that’s not it, sweetie. I… I need you. To touch your body; kiss you all over. To taste your mouth. I can’t stop thinking about it!” Seizing the girl’s hand, she brought it to her lips, then said, “Let me love you, Kelly. Please?”

The girl’s eyes burned into hers. “Say the words, Mom. Tell me what you really want.”

Linda understood. “I want to fuck you, Kelly,” she said, her voice gone hoarse. Taking hold of the sheet, she slowly tugged it down to reveal her bare body.

“Oooohh, Mom,” Kelly cooed. “I love what you’re not wearing.” Scooting onto her knees, she drew closer. “Can we kiss?”

Closing her eyes, Linda kissed her daughter, tentatively at first. But it soon grew into a heated lover’s kiss that soon had them both panting, lightheaded with desire.

Gently breaking away, Linda began to unbutton Kelly’s pajama top, opening it to reveal the girl’s budding breasts. She caressed them, teasing the swelling nipples with her fingertips before bending to take one in her mouth.

“Yes, Mom,” Kelly moaned. “Oh, yes. That feels so nice, d-don’t stop…!”

Switching from one breast to the other, then back again, Linda lavished attention on her eleven-year-old’s pert buds, teasing them with lightning-fast flicks of the tongue, then began to nuzzle her way downward. She buried her face in the softness of her child’s tummy and breathed in the delicate yet heady aroma, flavored with an enticing hint of Kelly’s sex.

The scent was a beckoning finger, urging Linda further down until she was lying between Kelly’s legs, gazing at a damp patch on the crotch of her daughter’s pajama bottoms. Taking hold of the waistband, she said, “Raise up, sweetie. Let’s take these off.”

Kelly obligingly lifted her hips, and Linda removed the girl’s very last piece of clothing, gazing lovingly at her bare slit. My God, it’s beautiful. She began to stroke the pink cleft with the tip of her index finger, watching her child’s eyes glaze over with pleasure.

“Ooooh, Mom… I love you. I love you,” Kelly moaned, spreading her thighs even wider.

Lying down between her daughter’s legs, Linda placed a tender kiss upon the rosy opening, then extended her tongue for her first taste of pussy in more than fifteen years.

It was even better than she remembered. Moaning, she covered Kelly’s slit with her mouth, easing her tongue inside to get more of the girl’s tart essence.

“Yes, Mom,” Kelly whimpered. “Lick my pussy, make me come. Oh, I need it so b-bad…!”

Linda was thrilled by how familiar it still felt to pleasure a girl with her mouth. Some things you never forget, I guess. God… how could I ever have given this up? She tongue-fucked Kelly for a while, then sought out the pink pearl of her daughter’s clitoris, taking it between her lips.

Years ago, Linda’s big sister Jan had taught her the best way to stimulate the clitoris: gently suck at the tender bud while flicking it with the tip of the tongue. Intent on making her child’s orgasm one she’d never forget, Linda applied this technique to Kelly.

“Oh, shit… oh, Mom, yes, d-don’t stop doing that, yes, keep – ohhhhhh!”  Kelly clutched her mother’s head, twitching fingers tangling in Linda’s hair. Kelly spread her legs as far apart as she could, her cunt opening even further to reveal the juicy interior. Thick, warm fluids were oozing down the crack of the eleven-year-old’s ass and dripping onto the sheets.

Kelly threw her head back, a hoarse scream torn from her body as she came. Her body shuddered and shook, making the bed frame squeak as she rode her climax to its dizzying peak. Finally the girl’s motions slowed, her hands gently losing their grip on Linda’s head.

Her heart swelling with love for Kelly, Linda gently nuzzled a pathway up the length of her daughter’s slender frame. Their lips met in a tender kiss, then they lay together, nestling in each other’s arms.

“That was beautiful, sweetheart,” Linda whispered. “Nearly everyone would say it was wrong, that moms and their little girls shouldn’t make love… but I’m glad we did it.”

“Me too, Mom. So… you don’t really mind that I’m having sex with Gabby?”

“How can I?” Linda replied. “I did the same thing with her, except I only used my fingers. But I promised her we could do it again… and next time, I’m sure I’ll want to go down on her.” She gazed adoringly at Kelly. “No, I’m fine with the two of you being intimate. Just don’t ever stop loving your sister, okay?”

“I never will, Mom. Promise.” Kelly hesitated, then said, “You and Aunt Jan… you used to do this with her, huh?”

Linda nodded. “She told you, then. Yeah, we were lovers, and it was incredible. It started when we weren’t much older than you and Gabby.” She gave a melancholy sigh. “I loved what we did. I loved her. But Jan ended things when she went off to college. Oh, she meant well. She was afraid I’d never move on and find a real life partner of my own if we were still a couple.

“She was right, of course. I’d have never met your father or had you and Gabby if she hadn’t been strong enough to set me free. But still… it broke my heart. I guess it broke hers, too.”

“Do you want to have sex with her again?”

“I do,” said Linda. “You know, when Jan stayed here with us, when you’d just got out of the hospital… one night, she offered to sleep with me. And I turned her down.” Her mouth tightened. “I’ve regretted that ever since. After that, I decided that the next time I see her, I’m going to ask if we can be lovers again. Mind you, that was before I got involved with you girls.”

“Aunt Jan totally wants you, Mom.” Kelly placed a few soft kisses on her mother’s neck. “She told me so.”

“I’ve missed her so much… the love, the closeness.”

Kelly was fondling her mother’s breasts. “She loves you lots, but she also has a big thing for girls. Young ones… even little girls, like Gabby. They get her hot. Did you already know that?”

“Not until Gabby told me what happened between the three of you,” Linda replied, shrugging. “But then, I like girls, too. It’s just that I didn’t know it until recently.” She gave a shaky laugh. “I have you to thank for that, sweetheart. Once I figured out you were making love with your sister, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Then one night, I realized something. It turned me on.” She smiled at Kelly. “You turn me on… your sister, too. Both my girls…”

“You know,” Kelly mused, “if I hadn’t been struck by lightning and got changed to the way I am now, probably none of this would have ever happened, huh?”

“No, I suppose not. And it was a real tragedy. I miss your father. We all do.”

“I guess so,” Kelly sighed. “Wish I remembered him.”

“I know you do, sweetie. But since this is the way things are… well, we should make the best of it. Enjoy ourselves. Don’t you think so?”

“I do, Mom.” With that, Kelly climbed on top of Linda, her thigh resting against the woman’s vulva. They shared a gentle kiss that quickly became much more. Linda sucked her daughter’s tongue while caressing Kelly’s bare bottom, letting her fingers wander up and down the warm cleft in between.

“Mmm, yeah, Mom, touch my butthole. I love that. Hey, wanna hear something else sexy that I did?”

“There’s more? God, yes. Tell me everything!”

“Last week, I fucked Gabby and her little friend Pam. Y’know, those two were fooling around with each other before my accident. Not really sex, just watching each other masturbate. But I ate their pussies, and got them to kiss and make out with each other. Oh, wow, it was soooo fucking hot, Mom. A preteen threesome. Does that make your pussy wet?” She slipped a hand between her mother’s legs. “Oh, yeah. It totally does.”

As Kelly slid three fingers into her mom’s wet, welcoming cunt, Linda carefully eased one into her daughter’s snug vagina. “Tell me about it, sweetheart,” she pleaded. “How it happened. What you did to the girls. What they did to you…”

So while working her fingers in and out, in and out of Mom’s pussy, Kelly told the story about her sexual encounter with Gabby and Pam, carefully leaving out the part where Pam’s mother Cheryl watched the whole thing. Better keep that secret for now, she decided.

When Kelly got to the part where she went down on her nine-year-old sister, Linda began to come. Determined to make this an experience her mother would never forget, Kelly kept going, pumping her arm hard and fast until Linda stammered, “O-okay, Kelly. That – that’s enough. My heart’s about to g-give out!”

Kelly carefully withdrew her fingers, then brought them to her lips to taste. “Mmmm,” she purred, “your cunt is delicious, Mom.”

Staring up at her daughter, Linda mumbled, “Oh, fuck, you’re incredible. Lie back, sweetie – I want to go down on you again.”

“Um, Mom… can we do something else first? I’d like us to watch each other masturbate while we talk about sex. Is that okay?”

Linda smiled. “Long as I get to lick your fingers when we’re done.”

“It’s a deal,” Kelly replied with a giggle. They arranged themselves across from one another. “Mom, tell me about when you were my age and fucking Aunt Jan. I want to hear about sisters making love.”

***

Meanwhile, in the house across the way, Cheryl awakened between her daughters – teenage Ali on the left, nine-year old Pam on the right. Next to Pam, her neighbor’s little girl Gabby dozed peacefully. Beneath the covers, they were all nude… and picturing that had Cheryl’s desire humming to life all over again.

Cheryl studied each girl in turn. This didn’t play out like it was supposed to… but I certainly can’t complain! Gabby changed everything, bless her. She wanted to include me in the fun and games. Now I’ve finally made love to both my girls, with Gabby as a bonus.

Wait… that means I’ve had sex with both Linda’s daughters! No way out of it – I’ll have to tell her about this. She’ll be angry. Perhaps not as angry as if she found out from one of the girls.

Will she turn me in to the police? Christ, who knows? Surely she’d talk to her daughters first, and they’d tell Linda the truth about what happened. After all, it was Kelly who put the moves on me… and Gabby practically gave me an engraved invitation to fuck her! Not that it would make a bit of difference to the authorities.

I’ll just have to confess everything to Linda and hope for the best. And I ought to discuss this with Gabby when she wakes up.

***

Linda and Kelly lay face to face on Linda’s king-size bed, each with a finger in the other’s pussy. As they masturbated one another, mother and daughter traded stories about sex with their sisters.

“We used to play games,” Linda recalled. “Jan would be an evil scientist, and I was a secret agent who had just captured her. I’d hold my hand like a gun and force her to strip, then search every inch of her body. She loved it when I went into her asshole. Anyhow, we’d get so turned on that we ended up fucking, and afterward Jan would say she loved me, then she’d promise to give up her evil scientific ways.” She laughed. “God, we were silly. The sex was incredible, though.”

“Yeah, Jan still loves butt sex. So does Gabby,” Kelly said. “When you lick her bottom, she goes nuts.”

They both heard the bedroom door open, then looked up to see a very surprised Gabby staring at them.

Kelly said, “Well, well… speak of the devil.”

Gabby was quick to get her bearings. Clapping her hands in glee, she exclaimed, “All right! Finally, we all get to do it together.” She kicked off both shoes, then jumped from foot to foot as she tugged each sock off in turn.

Reaching for the hem of her t-shirt, Gabby began to pull it up, but paused when Kelly said, “Slow down there, Gabs. Let me take your clothes off!”

Withdrawing from Linda’s cunt, Kelly quickly got to her feet and approached her younger sister, offering the nine-year-old her glistening fingers. Gabby took them into her mouth, humming happily as she sucked them clean of Linda’s essence. Then the two sisters kissed passionately, sharing the taste of their mother.

When they heard a soft moan, both girls broke their kiss to glance over at Linda, who was frantically masturbating to the sight of her daughters making out. “Oh wow, that’s so cool,” Gabby whispered.

Kelly motioned for Gabby to raise her arms, then tugged the younger girl’s t-shirt up and off to bare her chest. Tossing the shirt aside, she claimed Gabby’s mouth in another tender kiss. Meanwhile, Gabby was exploring Kelly’s naked body, her hands finally coming to rest on her big sister’s ass.

“My God,” Linda said through trembling lips. “Just hearing about you two making love got me hotter than a pistol, but actually seeing you together…? Here, see how wet I am!” Sure enough, her fingers were dripping with fluids, and there was a damp patch on the bed just below her juicy sex.

“Mmmm… doesn’t she look yummy?” Kelly murmured. “What do you think, Gabs – want some of that?”

“Oh, yeah,” the little girl said, now dreamy-eyed with desire. “Can I lick you, Mommy?”

Linda slowly nodded. “Yes, sweetie… I’d love you to.”

“Hold on, hold on,” Kelly protested. “Someone’s overdressed for this.” Getting on her knees, she undid Gabby’s shorts and yanked them down, along with her panties, until they ringed the nine-year-old’s ankles. Kelly helped her sister step out, leaving Gabby as bare as the others. Plucking the child’s sodden underpants from the discarded shorts, she threw them to her mother.

Linda brought Gabby’s panties to her face and inhaled deeply, then winked at her little girl. “Well, what are you waiting for?” she cooed, spreading her legs even wider. “Come taste Mommy’s cunt.”

As if on automatic pilot, Gabby crawled onto the bed, stretched out between her mother’s thighs and buried her mouth in the woman’s dark blonde bush.

Linda gasped as the girl’s tongue plunged into her hungry vagina, then began to flicker inside like a warm pink flame. I can’t believe this is happening, and yet it is. Look at her, my precious child of nine, making love to her mommy like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

Now Kelly was kneeling next to Linda, fondling her breasts. “Isn’t Gabby amazing, Mom? Me and Aunt Jan taught her everything about eating pussy.” Linda’s head swam as Kelly gave her a brief but heated French kiss, then added, “I licked her butt first, though.”

Linda could feel her orgasm approach, sensed it rising inside, growing, filling her… “Ohhh yes, Gabby sweetie, oh fuck I’m g-gonna come, I’m gonna – OHHHH!” Her voice rose to a wild cry, hands tightening into fists as the storm swept in, wrenching her this way and that. It was glorious.

Gabby continued to feast on her mother’s pussy, refusing to let up until Linda clumsily pushed the little girl’s head away, mumbling, “No more, baby. I’m done, please, n-no more.”

Meanwhile, Kelly was leaning back against the headboard, fingering herself as she stared at her mother and little sister. Gabby and Linda watched her climax, then a dazed Kelly stretched out next to them.

Blissfully content, Linda nestled between her daughters. They lay quietly for a while, but before long, the tactile sensation of skin on skin had them all feeling tingly and in the mood for more.

Kelly was first to speak. “Mom? I think you should go down on Gabby now.”

Thinking about it, Linda decided, She’s right. It’s exactly what I want to do. She turned to her youngest. “Like to go for a ride on my face, little girl?”

Gabby’s smile could have illuminated the sky. “I‘d love to, Mommy.”

“Come on, then. I’m ready.”

Getting up and onto her knees, Gabby carefully straddled her mother. Looking down at Linda, the child slowly lowered her smooth slit to the woman’s open mouth.

Linda met her daughter’s gaze, dizzy with happiness at the love she saw in her little girl’s eyes. Her lips were grazing Gabby’s bare slit. She took one lick, then another. My God, she tastes so good… almost like Jan did. Linda reached down to touch her cunt, pleased to find it dripping with nectar. She began to masturbate, plunging two fingers into herself.

Kelly wanted in on this action. Spreading Gabby’s bottom open, pausing to admire the dark pucker, she bent down to rim her little sister.

“Oh, yeah – lick my butt, Kel!” Gabby exclaimed. “Mommy, I love what you’re doing. Don’t – don’t stop, okay? Ooohhhh!”

The quivering of Gabby’s thighs signaled to Linda that her daughter was about to come. Seeking out the girl’s tiny clit, she strummed it with her tongue.

“Ohh… oh, yes, yes…” Gabby mumbled, now trembling harder.

Once her little sister’s butthole was nice and moist, Kelly drew back, placing her thumb against the tight opening. With one smooth, steady stroke, she pushed it deep into Gabby’s rectum.

The nine-year-old seized up, and her body began to shake helplessly. She was panting, “Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh!” bent forward, bobbing her head, eyes squeezed tightly shut, mouth slack. Suddenly Gabby sat up straight, frozen stone-rigid for a long moment, finally relaxing with a deep groan before slumping to one side. Kelly just managed to grab her sister’s arm before she toppled from the bed.

Gently placing the limp girl next to her mother, Kelly turned to Linda, who was still mauling her pussy. “Here, Mom. Let me help you with that.” She swept her hair to one side, then bent down to suckle Linda’s clit. Before a minute passed, Kelly’s mother was mewling through another orgasm.

Afterward, the three lovers snuggled together again, exchanging whispered words of love before relaxing into a contented half-slumber.

It was on the fourth ring that Linda lazily reached over Kelly to pick her phone up from the nightstand. She glanced at the screen to see who was calling… Jan.

“Hey, sis,” Linda said, “what’s up?” She paused to listen, then replied, “Well, let me see what they think; hang on a sec. Girls? Would you like to stay at Aunt Jan’s tonight? She’ll pick you up in a couple of hours if you want to go.”

“It’s up to you, Gabs,” Kelly said.

“Will you come too, Mommy?” Gabby whispered. “Then we could all make love!”

Linda shook her head. “Not just yet, sweetie,” she said, keeping her voice low. “I want us all to be together, but I’d like to plan things out a bit more, discuss it with Jan. Okay? But if you girls want to go there tonight, that’s perfectly fine.”

Gabby thought about it. It would be nice to make love more with Mommy. But now I can do that any time. I don’t get to see Aunt Jan whenever I like. Also, if me and Kelly aren’t here, it’ll give Cheryl a chance to tell Mommy she did sex with me, like she told me she wanted to.

“Okay, let’s go to Aunt Jan’s,” Gabby answered at last, deciding to give Cheryl a quick phone call before they left.

“All right, Jan,” Linda said into the phone, “You’ve got house guests coming over. See you this afternoon. Hmm? Sure, you can talk to Kelly.” Handing the phone to her oldest, she told Gabby, “C’mon, you… let’s take a shower.”

Kelly watched her mother lead her sister from the room, then brought the phone to her ear. “Hi, Aunt Jan.”

“Kelly, listen very closely to me,” Jan said in a firm tone, “I want you to bring that DVD and marijuana cigarette back to me. You shouldn’t have taken them.”

“I’m sorry, Aunt Jan,” Kelly replied, “Don’t worry, I didn’t smoke the joint or watch the DVD. I’ll bring them back, promise. Please don’t be mad at me.”

“Oh, Kelly… I wasn’t mad, just concerned. We’ll talk more about this when you get here. Bye now, honey.”

“Bye, Aunt Jan,” Kelly said sweetly, then ended the phone call. Rubbing her hands together, she thought, Everything’s working just the way I hoped. Fuck, this is gonna be so much fun! 

Hearing the sound of the shower from upstairs, she padded in that direction. And speaking of fun…

***

A few hours later, Gabby and Kelly were carrying their overnight bags into Jan’s house. Once inside, Jan asked, “What do you two want to do first?”

Gabby exclaimed, “I want to go for a swim!” She quickly stripped naked, then sprinted out the back door to do a running jump into the pool.

“Can I have my things now?” Jan said to Kelly as they watched Gabby splashing happily.

Kelly grimaced. “Ay, caramba! Mierda. I’m sorry, Aunt Jan – I forgot to put them in my bag.”

Folding her arms, Jan glared at her niece. “Kelly! I’m not kidding around.”

“Honest, it just slipped my mind. When you take us home, I’ll give them to you then. It’ll be okay.”

“Hmm, I guess,” Jan said, “Shall we join your sister in the pool?”

“Oh, for sure! You go ahead. I’ll just give Mom a quick call so she knows we’re here.”

“Okay, then. I’ll see you out there,” Jan said, unbuttoning her jeans.

Kelly watched her aunt undress, then once a nude Jan exited onto the patio, she phoned home.

“Hi, Mom, we’re here. What are you up to? Are you missing me and Gabby?”

“Oh, deciding what I’m having for dinner. And yes, I am missing you… but you’ll both be back tomorrow.”

“Mom? I forgot something I borrowed from Aunt Jan. Could you have it ready for me to give back to her when we get home?”

“Sure, what is it? And where did you leave it?”

“It’s a DVD, in my underwear drawer.”

“Okay, I’ll have it ready. Anything else?”

“Nope, just have a nice night. Oh, and get some rest, Mom… cause me and Gabby are going to fuck you silly when we get home. Bye now, love you.”

“Love you too, sweetie. Remember what we talked about, okay? Don’t tell your aunt that I made love to you and your sister. I’ll discuss that with her myself.”

“Don’t worry, Mom. I won’t forget. I’ll remind Gabby, too. Bye.”

“Bye, sweetheart.”

With a happy sigh, Kelly stripped off her clothes and made her way out back to join the others in the pool. Drawing closer, she saw her little sister and Aunt Jan sharing a very heated kiss.

“Hey, you guys!” she called. “Got room for one more?”

On to Chapter Thirteen!

 

Pages From a Diary, Chapter 22

  • Posted on October 13, 2024 at 3:11 pm

A brief summary of what has transpired thus far. (To get a more detailed breakdown of the earlier chapters, please see Pages From a Diary Chapter Links )

Eleven-year-old Mallory is a bright but lonely girl with strict fundamentalist Christian parents whose marriage is going through a rough patch. One day, Mal gets acquainted with a girl named Julie, who lives with her father Jason and his girlfriend Lisa. Soon, the girls become fast friends, and before very long, more than friends. Mallory has a difficult time reconciling her emerging sexuality with her faith, but soon finds her desire for Julie and her interest in sex getting the upper hand, especially once she learns to masturbate.

Meanwhile, her parents’ relationship is really starting to founder. By then, Mallory and Julie are beginning to experiment sexually, but don’t really know what they’re doing. Julie’s dad’s girlfriend Lisa finds out about their curiosity and offers advice, then the girls persuade her to undress and join them in bed. Mal and Julie have full-on sex for the first time, then Lisa gets involved. 

Soon thereafter, Mallory and Julie are confronted by a fifteen-year-old girl from their school named Megan, who tells them she recognizes their feelings for each other, admits to being gay herself, and invites them to drop by her place a few days later. Megan only wants to hang out and chat, but Mallory casually takes charge of the situation, and soon the three of them are naked and having sex. In the weeks to come, they will get together again every now and then for more of the same.

Mallory’s mother Sharon is spending more and more nights away from the home, supposedly staying with her own mother. So she isn’t there when Mal’s father Dan collapses and nearly dies from alcohol poisoning. Only Mallory’s quick thinking and immediate response saves his life. Once Dan is taken to the hospital, Mal learns that her mom isn’t really at Grandma’s house, but out with another man.

Not long after her father is released from the hospital, Mallory is taken out on a shopping trip by her mother. During the lengthy drive, Sharon explains her side of the story, treating her daughter more like an adult than she ever has before. Mal finds herself feeling sympathetic… but then she’s startled to catch herself having sexual thoughts about her mother, and gets flustered and confused. Those thoughts won’t go away, either.

Sharon soon gets a job at a senior center, and is making plans to go back to school. Needless to say, Mal’s father is most unhappy with this development. On the other hand, Mallory is quite pleased for her mom, and takes the opportunity to get in her lap and give her playful, but subtly flirtatious kisses. More then ever, she suspects that her mother is secretly gay.

Mal is gradually becoming more popular at school. One result is that she and Julie are invited to a sleepover with Emma and Cindy, a couple of Julie’s friends. Once the parents are asleep, the girls get into a discussion concerning masturbation, which leads to everyone getting naked and engaging in mutual touching. Emma and Cindy love it, and the four of them get together for more fun a couple of weeks later.

Mallory finds a new student project: playing keyboards in a rock band of high school students supervised by Jason, who has also been teaching his daughter Julie how to do mixing work. Mal is much younger than the other members, but her skills soon win the others over. One of the band members is a sweet hippie girl named Jamie, and Mal is immediately attracted to her.

A couple of unhappy developments occur. First, Mallory’s parents make it official: they are to divorce. Mal is utterly disgusted with them both. Second, two of Julie’s cousins have vanished without explanation, eleven-year-old twin girls named Anna and Nettie. A search is underway, but without success thus far. Mallory has never met these girls, but she prays as best she can for their safe return.

A few days later, the twins are found and their kidnapper arrested, but not before he murdered Anna. Nettie is still alive, but devastated, and the girls’ parents go completely to pieces, turning on each other in their grief. Obviously, they are unable to take care of Nettie, so after a family discussion in which Mal is asked to participate, Jason, Lisa and Julie decide to bring Nettie into their home for the time being. Mal vows to do everything she can to help Jason’s niece to recover from her emotional trauma.

An ugly scene occurs at the home of Mal’s grandmother, where her mother Sharon is staying until she finds her own place. When Sharon makes a disparaging comment about lesbians, Mal loses her temper in a big way. In her anger, she comes out there and then, venting until her mother breaks down and cries. Mal quickly becomes remorseful, but the damage is done.

And now we rejoin our story, which is currently in progress. Do enjoy!

by Rachael Yukey

January 28th, 2006

A novel I read not long ago described someone walking around in a daze, with a zombie-like expression. I tried to picture that, and couldn’t. Now I know what it looks like.

Let me back up a little. I’m getting ahead of myself again.

Jason left for Bronning yesterday morning to pick up his niece Nettie. Seriously, he HAS to be getting tired of those long car trips! Hopefully this will be the last one for awhile.

Lisa, Julie, and I spent the morning getting the place ready for Nettie’s arrival. There’s a room downstairs that isn’t being used for anything yet; Jason has plans to turn it into an office after he renovates it, but I guess that idea is going on hold for now. The walls are old plaster, but it’s on the ground floor and has a couple of nice, big windows that let in a lot of light. It wasn’t too bad once we got it cleaned up.

There was a beat-up dresser in the garage, and an old-fashioned steel bedframe. We also found a very decent end table out there to use for a nightstand. After we got all that stuff inside and set it up, Julie and I went up to her room and dug in what she calls her art deco box. It’s this crazy mishmash of posters, hangings, and other weird junk that Julie likes to hang on her walls. There’s too much of it, so she kind of rotates it out. When she gets bored with something, she takes it down and puts something else up.

We picked some of the nicer pieces… a couple of decent framed paintings, a woven Native American pattern that Jason brought back from some tour or another, things like that. Then we hung them on the walls of Nettie’s new room. Once they were up, the three of us stood in the center of the room looking around critically.

“What about a mattress?” Julie wanted to know.

“After lunch I’ll take Jason’s pickup to town,” Lisa said. “I need to do some shopping, and while I’m at it I’ll get a mattress, box spring, and  maybe a bookshelf to put in here. It’ll be enough for starters. I don’t know how much they’ll be bringing back. Hopefully as much of her toys and clothes as Jason can fit into the Honda.”

“Can you handle all that stuff yourself?” I asked.

“The people at the furniture store will load it for me,” Lisa replied with a smile, “and I went to high school with half the fire squad. When I get back to town, I can find a few big strong men to help me get it all in the house.”

After lunch I gave Jamie a call to make sure we were still on for that afternoon, and Lisa dropped Julie and me off at her house on the way out of town.

Jamie greeted us at the door by gathering one of us in each arm, pulling us into a three-way hug, and boisterously crowing: “Welcome, little sisters!” She was ravishing in a blue off-the-shoulder peasant blouse with baggy sleeves, and a green skirt that went down past her knees. Her feet were bare, her hair pulled back in a simple ponytail. I found myself wondering what color panties she was wearing underneath… or if she was wearing undies at all.

Jamie’s house is a crazy old rat’s nest. It’s one of the oldest homes in town, and that’s saying something. There are three stories, plus an attic. But I guess they need that much space, cause Jamie is the middle child of seven kids. Fortunately it was just us that day. Two of Jamie’s older siblings are in college, her brother Carl had taken his girlfriend to Wadena for bowling and a movie, and her parents had the younger ones out shopping for the day.

Jamie gave us a quick tour. The most interesting thing is this weird space on the third floor, on the northwest corner of the building. There are two bedrooms that come together kitty-cornered, leaving a bedroom-sized space on that corner without any access point.

“Nobody has any idea what’s in there,” Jamie told us. “We’ve been trying to talk Dad into cutting a hole in one of the walls ever since we moved in, but he won’t do it. The people who lived here before us didn’t know, either.”

“That’s really weird,” said Julie. “I mean, that none of the adults have been curious enough to bust a hole in there. If it was my house, I’d have a hammer and crowbar in my hands right this minute!”

Jamie has the whole attic to herself. “I got kicked up here because I’m noisy,” she said with a grin. “My dad packed the joists with egg cartons, and I can play guitar as loud as I want without bothering anybody. It’s crusty up here, but it’s big and it’s all mine.”

You have to climb a ladder to get into Jamie’s room, and looking around I had to wonder how they got all her stuff up here. Guitar amps, a small PA system, a nice stereo, a keyboard, and a twin bed in one corner. The walls and ceiling are unfinished plaster, the floor is 2×6 planks, the ceiling is low, and the walls are sloped inward. Not much natural light up there, either, with only two tiny windows. That sweet, smoky smell I’d sometimes noticed around Jamie seemed to hang in the air.

I could see the appeal. There’s a creepy old tower feel to the place, and Jamie had it all done up with purple and red lighting,  wall hangings with weird symbols on them, and posters of guitar players. The biggest one was of a skinny black man with a white fringed shirt, blue pants, and a red bandana. He was playing a white guitar, only upside down and left-handed. I was studying the poster, feeling like I should recognize him.

Jamie came up beside me, seeming to sense my uncertainty. “Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock,” she said. I nodded, doing my best to look well-informed. I’d heard of him, but couldn’t have picked one of his songs out in a lineup.

“I’m mostly into heavier music,” she went on, “but if you play rock guitar, you gotta love Hendrix.”

She motioned us over to a threadbare old loveseat that might once have been maroon, and I wondered again how they’d got this stuff into the attic. Julie and I sat. Her hand was resting on the cushion between us, and I automatically took it, interlacing our fingers.

“Look at you two,” said Jamie, smiling. “You’re such good friends.”

Right then I saw my opening. “Actually, Julie’s my GIRLfriend.” I turned towards Julie, leaning in. She met me halfway, and we kissed. Not much tongue, but with open mouths.

When I looked back at Jamie, her mouth was hanging open, and I could see even in the dim lighting that her cheeks were flushed. “Whoa,” she said after a long pause. “I did not see that coming.”

“Does it bother you?” I asked.

Jamie shook her head and smiled. “Do your thing, little sister.” She was standing by a big shelf full of… were those actual records?

She selected one of the thin cardboard sleeves, then slid a black disc out. I really liked watching her. There was a misty sort of romanticism to this whole setup, and that dark platter full of undiscovered music completed the picture.

“I thought before we jammed we could listen to some music and chill,” she was saying as she set the record onto her record player. “We don’t have much time to get to know each other in rehearsal,” she said as she sprayed the platter with some kind of mist, then wiped it with a cloth. She looked back, catching us both watching the process in fascination.

“I know,” she said with a roll of her eyes. “It’s old-fashioned. But I love it. And I think vinyl is going to make a big comeback; just you watch.”

“What are we listening to?” Julie piped up.

Jamie held up the record jacket. “Dokken,” she said. “This was my Dad’s favorite band in high school. And George Lynch, the guitar player… he’s the guy that made me want to start playing myself.”

She started the record, then made her way to an overstuffed chair that I thought might have been a match to the loveseat when it was new and plunked herself down. The music started with a sizzling riff, and I could see right away why Jamie liked this guitarist. It occurred to me that I was going to learn more about rock, this would be a good place to hang out!

While the record played we talked about this and that, just getting to know each other like Jamie said. There was a swirly purple lamp on the end table next to Julie, and it cast weird patterns around the room in the dim light.

When Jamie got up to turn over the record I asked her where you even got a record player these days, and she gave me a little smile, as if letting me in on a great secret.

“It’s not a record player,” she said. “You’re thinking of one of those all-in-one units that has built-in speakers. When you have a component system like mine with separate amps and speakers, you call it a turntable. This is an old one from the seventies that my uncle restored.”

By this time, Julie and I were smushed together. Her arm was around me, my fingertips drawing lazy patterns on the thigh of her jeans. We listened to the music for a while, but Jamie seemed as if her mind was elsewhere. Turns out it was.

“I… I gotta ask,” Jamie said, blushing a little. “I know it’s none of my business, but,well… I remember my first boyfriend, when I was eleven. It was… you know, pretty awkward, and we didn’t do much… just a little hand holding and smooching. But you two… I know you’re really mature for your age. Heck, I can talk to you just like people I go to high school with. Still, it’s like you’re so touchy-feely, and so comfortable together, and you kiss like you actually know how. I guess I was just wondering…” She seemed unable to go on. Her face had gone from pink to bright red.

“I’m sorry,” she stammered. “I’m not even sure where I’m going with this. I’ll shut up.”

“Are you asking if we have sex?” I said, trying to make it sound like no big deal.

Jamie covered her face with her hands. “Oh, jeez… forget it. I’m not sure how I’d feel if you started asking questions about my sex life.”

“It’s okay,” said Julie in her brightest, most cheery tone. “We’re not embarrassed about it. The answer is yes. Hell, yes!” She rested her head on my shoulder.  “We’re lovers.”

“Now tell us about your sex life,” I said. We all cracked up.

“There’s not much to tell at the moment,” Jamie said, still grinning. “I broke up with my last boyfriend in October. Not that he was much good in the sack, anyway. Dude couldn’t tell a clitoris from a thesaurus.” We burst into laughter again.

“Have you ever done it with a girl?” I asked her, putting on a smile that I hoped was alluring.

Jamie shook her head. “Nope. Not really what I’m into.” Then she cocked her head, gazing up at the ceiling. “Okay, maybe not true. I guess I’ve been curious. But not enough to go looking for it, know what I mean?”

“What if it found you? Would you try it then?” Julie asked.

Jamie blushed again. “I don’t know. Guess it would depend on the girl.”

Talk turned to other things for awhile, and when the record ended, Jamie stood. “Wanna jam, little sister?”

Taking up a guitar, she plugged it into an ancient-looking amplifier. It was different gear from what she uses in rehearsal, and I asked her where her other equipment was.

“Oh, I leave my gigging rig in the garage,” she said. “It’s too much trouble to get stuff in and out of here.”

We spent a little while just messing around, taking turns backing each other up, then playing solos. I’m getting more confident with my improvisation now. Jamie’s keyboard is a really old electronic piano that she called a Wurlitzer, and it has a unique, kind of jangly sound.

Then we turned our attention to the spring concert material. Jamie had some cool ideas for spicing up the parts we were going to harmonize together, and we worked those out so we’d be ready to knock everyone’s socks off in rehearsal. Julie just listened in, though she never seemed to be bored.

Finally Jamie put her guitar aside. “That was great,” she said. “You guys wanna hear another record, or do you have someplace to be?”

We ended up putting on a Jimi Hendrix album. I liked it. His singing was only okay, but there was a vibe to the music that felt like it was going way back to the roots of rock music, only with all kinds of modern ideas, and the guitar playing was very original and interesting. I ended up wandering around a little as we spoke, looking at some of the odd items that Jamie had scattered hither and yon. On a stand next to the turntable was a weird cylindrical object that looked like a cross between a genie’s lamp and a flower vase. There was a glass tube sticking up from the base off to one side.

“What’s this?” I wanted to know.

“It’s… oh, lord.” Jamie put a hand over her eyes. “I should have put that in a drawer or something. It’s a bong.”

I still didn’t understand, not until Julie squeaked, “You smoke pot?”

“Yeah,” said Jamie, sounding embarrassed. “Not very often, just kind of as a treat sometimes. My parents know about it, if you’re wondering. They smoke a little themselves. If you disapprove, I guess I understand.”

Julie shrugged. “My dad was around stuff like this all the time on the road. He’s down on hard drugs like heroin, but he says weed is no worse than alcohol. I’m pretty sure he smokes it sometimes when he’s out with friends.”

I was having a harder time wrapping my head around it. I grew up in the church, so I think the drugs-bad reaction is kinda automatic. I had to remind myself I wasn’t a Christian anymore. Live and let live, I told myself. Don’t lose a new friend by being judgy.

I’m not sure how long it took that train of thought to run through my head, but I realized Jamie and Julie were both watching me.

“You look worried, little sister,” said Jamie, sounding a little worried herself.

“I’m sorry,” I told her, deciding to be honest. “I know marijuana isn’t really that scary, and it might even be legal soon. It’s just the way my parents taught me. I’m learning to not let it affect me, but sometimes it takes me a little while to process stuff like that. I like you Jamie, and I don’t care if you smoke weed.”

Jamie gave me a big, radiant smile. “I’m glad,” she said. “I like you, too. It’s just a little weed once in awhile, or shrooms. I don’t mess around with the hard stuff, and I don’t even like alcohol.”

I wasn’t sure what a shroom was, but decided to just let the whole thing go. I settled back onto the couch with Julie, letting my fingertip trail up the inside of her thigh. She opened her legs slightly to give me a bit more access. This wasn’t lost on Jamie, who raised her eyebrows but said nothing.

I spoke up instead. “Can I ask you something personal?”

“Well… yeah, sure.”

“The guy you broke up with in October…”

“Yeah, what about him?”

“Was he the first guy you had sex with? Is it okay to ask that? I know lots about lesbian sex, but the only thing I know about straight sex is how it’s done. I hear lots of guys aren’t very good at it.”

Jamie was blushing again, but she answered. “No, he was my third. My first was a senior when I was still in eighth grade. He was really good in bed, but he graduated and moved away. Then, during my freshman year of high school, I dated a guy in my own grade for awhile. I was his first, and it started out awkward, but he really wanted to please me and he got a lot better at it. But we broke up anyway, cause the rest of our relationship wasn’t working out. This last guy I just started dating over the summer. He seemed really cool at first, but he turned out to be a jerk, and like I said… he never really cared if I enjoyed the sex.”

She broke off, seeming at a loss for words. Then she said: “What about you guys? I mean, you’re so young. I don’t even know if girls your age can have orgasms, I guess.”

“Didn’t you?” I said.

Jamie laughed. “Not when I was twelve!”

“Did you try?” I pressed.

Jamie’s blush deepened. “You mean, did I…”

“Everybody masturbates, right?” Julie said, wearing a huge grin.

Jamie covered her face with both hands again, but this time I could see she was laughing. “I cannot believe we’re talking about orgasms and mastur…” She shook her head. “What a whacked out, crazy conversation,” she said. “Okay, fine. I didn’t start touching myself until I was almost thirteen. And it was only about six months later that I actually had sex.”

“How old are you now?” Julie asked.

“Fifteen.”

“And you haven’t had sex since October?” I said, trying to seem shocked.

Jamie gave me a rueful smile. “I know, right?”

“Sounds lonely,” said Julie.

Jamie rolled her eyes. “It can be,” she said. “My last boyfriend, Greg… he wasn’t really hot stuff between the sheets. Lots of times I had to finish it myself after he left. But it was another human in bed with you, y’know? Sometimes you need that.”

“You should try it with a girl,” I said.

Jamie smirked. “Are you planning to try it with a guy?”

I shrugged. “Maybe when I’m older,” I said. “Seems like I ought to try it at least once.”

“Not me,” Julie put in. “I only like girls. And this one’s my favorite.” We didn’t have to speak; we just knew. Our mouths met, our tongues danced. Out of the corner of my eye I could see color rising in Jamie’s cheeks again… and this time it wasn’t a blush. When we parted, I had to take a moment to catch my breath. Julie put every ounce of her energy into that kiss… and that girl is pure energy from head to toe.

“Whoa,” said Jamie. “You two look like you just wanna eat each other up.”

“You have no idea!” Julie exclaimed. “When we get back to my house, I’m gonna eat her like an ice cream cone.”

I fixed my gaze on Jamie. She stared back at me, her eyes widening as she realized exactly what was being offered.

Then she looked away. “Um… I suppose you’ll want to get home and take care of that, then,” she said.

Even a month earlier, I might have taken that as a refusal, but not now. Jamie wanted what we were offering, but she was scared. I felt like I could salvage this. But maybe it was time to be direct.

“Jamie,” I said, picking my words carefully, “you said that if the right girl came to you, you’d be up for trying something new. What if it’s two girls?”

She met my eyes again. “It’d be tempting,” she said, “but with some girls I’d be worried about the age difference. I don’t want to do the wrong thing, even if it feels good.”

I was ready for that one! “Did that senior you slept with do the wrong thing? He was a lot older than you.”

Jamie was shaking her head slowly, her ponytail swishing. “No,” she said. “I loved everything he did. I wanted it.”

I got up, tugging my hand free of Julie’s, and crossed the room. From behind her chair I let my fingers slip beneath Jamie’s ponytail, lightly massaging her neck. I felt a slight shudder, and heard the hiss of her drawing in a quick breath.

“Well this is the same,” I said in a low voice. “We want you, Jamie. Anything that happens here, we’re choosing it.”

She reached back, capturing my hand in hers.

“I want the same thing,” she said. It dawned on me that Jamie seemed unsure of herself for the first time since I’d met her. “But I don’t know what I’m ready for. I didn’t wake up thinking ‘Well gee whiz, maybe I’ll try lesbian sex today’, y’know?”

“We can start small,” I said. “What if we all just get naked together and hang out on the bed?”

Thinking it over, Jamie pursed her lips, then smiled. “I could go for that.”

She got up, crossed to the turntable, and flipped the record over. By the time she turned around, Julie and I were standing stark naked, our arms wrapped around each other’s waists.

“Little sisters!” Jamie exclaimed, but I couldn’t help noticing how her eyes raced up and down our nude forms. She gave her head a quick shake, ponytail flying. “You’re not playing around, are you?”

Moving slowly, she gripped the hem of her blouse and pulled it over her head. Her hands were trembling. A big part of me wanted to cross the room and help her undress, but I sensed very strongly that this would be a mistake. If Jamie was going to fool around with us, it had to be her decision. She tossed the blouse aside, reaching back to unclasp her bra in the same smooth motion. Her breasts were ripe, firm, and full. The nipples stuck straight out.

She undid her skirt and let it fall, then pushed her plain white cotton panties to the floor. Her legs were lithe and shapely, terminating in a dark, thick tuft of pubic hair. I feasted my eyes on her body, and I knew Julie was doing the exact same thing. I could practically feel her glowing with arousal at my side.

We arranged some pillows and blankets against the wall so we had something to lean against, then lounged on the bed, our feet dangling over the side. Without discussing it, Julie and I placed Jamie between us, making for one yummy girl sandwich. We didn’t talk much. The Hendrix album (I learned before we left that it’s called “Electric Ladyland”) was playing a really long, kind of dreamy track. None of us said anything; we just relaxed, taking it in. I was holding one of Jamie’s hands, Julie had the other.

Finally Jamie broke the silence. “This feels good,” she said in a voice just barely above a whisper. “Just being together like this, listening to Jimi.”

Letting go of her hand, I let my fingertips drift all the way up her thigh, starting at the knee. I stayed at the top of the thigh, not wanting to take this too fast, but her breathing told me I was moving in the right direction.

“Can I kiss you?” I asked her.

She didn’t answer, just turned her head towards me and leaned in. Our open mouths met – slowly, cautiously, exploring at first. Then she slipped her tongue between my lips, and I met it with mine. We kissed gently, sensuously, taking our time.

When we parted, I heard a gasp from Jamie’s other side. Jamie and I turned our heads in unison and were treated to the sight of Julie touching between her legs, moving slowly but with purpose.

“Sorry,” she said, with a grin that didn’t look one bit sorry. “That was so fucking hot I couldn’t wait any more.” Her fingers never stopped moving.

The record ended, and Jamie extricated herself, padding across the room to put on another. She pulled an album from the shelf, then held it up for us to see: a well-worn blue cover with a caricature of Mt. Rushmore on it, showing five heads that I could only assume were the band members.

“Deep Purple,” she said, her voice unsteady. Switching the records out, she put the needle on the new one, then returned to the bed, slipping in between us once more.

“Is it my turn for a kiss?” Julie asked us as the brutal, pounding first track began.

The kiss they shared was very different from the one I’d just enjoyed; wild abandon instead of careful sensuality. It was equally hot in its way, and I felt the desire rising in me like a tidal wave just from watching. I was caressing the inside of Jamie’s thigh now, working myself ever closer to her core.

Julie threw her head back and moaned aloud, her body spasming violently. Then she went limp and slumped against Jamie, who bent to nuzzle her neck. My hand was only inches away from Jamie’s pussy, and I was about to get even closer… but then her fingers circled my wrist.

“Next song, little sister,” she whispered, her voice ragged. “Then you can touch me. Um, can I touch you, too?”

“Oh, you better!” I breathed into her ear.

Then we were kissing again. This time it was a desperate, hungry kiss, like the one she’d just shared with Julie. The first song ended while our mouths were still joined, and as the slow, ominous chords of the next song began, I slid my hand the rest of the way up her thigh, slipping between her pussy lips to find the wetness there. Then her hand was between my legs, seeking and finding my clit.

“Slow,” she whispered in my ear. “With the beat.”

In this case, “with the beat,” meant really, really slow! The song was ponderous, brooding, the guitar just playing chords with a heavy organ motif carrying the melody until the vocals came in. I moved my finger in slow circles, timed to that stately, graceful sound, and Jamie matched my movements. The waves of pleasure, when they came, were spaced far apart, but my God, they were intense! Every time one washed over me, I moaned. Jamie was raising her hips up from the bed and shuddering every few beats or so.

Julie slid off the bed and went over to Jamie’s overstuffed chair, turning it so she was facing us. Settling in, she spread her legs and slid a finger into her pussy. Soon she was fucking herself in time with our movements. Julie’s lips were slightly parted, her color high.

By then, the song’s vocal consists only of these haunting, drawn-out ‘ooh’ syllables, with the drums coming in to tighten up the relentlessly slow groove. “Double time, little sister,” Jamie panted in my ear, her circular motions on my clit shifting into a brisker tempo. I moaned, my speed accelerating to match hers. Those waves were coming faster now.

The singer went up an octave, trading the ‘oohs’ for high-pitched, screaming ‘aahs.’ Acting on pure impulse, I moved lower, sliding two fingers deep into Jamie’s dripping cunt while pressing my palm against her clit.

“Oh m-my GOD,” Jamie wailed. Her own finger moved downward, testing the entrance to my hole, hesitant. Unable to wait another second, I thrust my hips forward, impaling myself on the length of it. She was startled at first, but recovered soon enough. Within moments Jamie was matching the same technique I’d used on her, pressing her palm against my aching clit.

“Another finger,” I moaned, and she gave it to me. “ooOOOOHHHH!” is probably a pretty good approximation of what came out of my mouth right then. Now we were finger-fucking each other, grinding against each other’s clits, still moving in time to the music. Then the song itself exploded into double-time, a powerful, fast, driving beat underscoring the guitar solo.

I don’t know which of us started it, but suddenly we were plunging our fingers in and out of each other with wild abandon, snatching messy kisses between quick gulps of breath, totally transported by the moment and the music.

The powerful feelings emanating from my center suddenly intensified, and I felt that point of no return coming hard and fast. “I’m coming!” I screamed. “Oh God, oh fuck, I’m COMING!”

“Me too, little sister!” Jamie practically howled, and as my orgasm consumed me, I felt her pussy clench against my finger in wild, rhythmic spasms. We climaxed along with the guitar solo, the song dying back into that slow, ponderous intro motif as we collapsed into each other’s arms.

Hearing a long, drawn-out cry, I looked up just in time to see Julie spasm in the throes of her second climax, then wilt into a puddle on the chair.

After a minute or two, Julie dragged herself out of the chair, flopped down on the bed and snuggled up against Jamie. As for me and Jamie, we weren’t moving at all… in fact, our fingers were still buried in one another’s pussies.

I finally managed to rouse myself, lifting my head from Jamie’s arm.

“So how was your first time with another girl?” I asked her. “Didn’t suck too bad, huh?”

“Oh, I nearly came!” Jamie replied with a giggle, withdrawing her fingers from my cunt. “Seriously though, little sister… that was so amazing, I’m already getting worked up again just reliving it in my head.”

Julie wore a bad-girl grin as she traced a finger across Jamie’s still-hard nipple. “There’s lots more we can do,” she said.

I decided to get in on the fun, and took the other nipple in my mouth. Jamie let out a soft moan. “Unfortunately,” she said, her voice unsteady, “I’m expecting people back home in about twenty minutes. I definitely want to do more… but it’ll have to wait for another day.”

We reluctantly got back into our clothes. “God, I’m still turned on,” Jamie complained as she shrugged her blouse down over her head.

“Will you be thinking about us tonight when you touch yourself?” Julie asked.

Jamie laughed out loud. “You’d better believe it, little sister!”

Julie and I went back to her place, where we got dinner ready before Lisa made it home. After dinner had been eaten and the table cleared, we took Lisa upstairs and undressed her. I told her the story of what had happened that afternoon, whispering all the details into her ear and playing with her tits while Julie ate her pussy.

After Lisa came with an ear-splitting shriek, I went down on Julie while Lisa finger-fucked her from behind. Finally they ganged up on me, Lisa eating me out and rubbing my cunt while Julie and I kissed like our lives depended on it.

As I climaxed, I was picturing Jamie lying in her bed, listening to that Deep Purple song and masturbating while fantasizing about Julie and me. I came so hard I blacked out.

***

Jason turned up just before lunch this morning, a smaller copy of Julie trailing uncertainly in his wake. I say smaller, but Nettie Hastings is still tall for her age… taller than me by a couple of inches. Julie hugged her, and Nettie kind of looped her arms around Julie’s shoulders, then stepped away.

Jason introduced me, and Nettie just waved halfheartedly and mumbled “Hi,” never once making eye contact. She didn’t sit down for a long time, just wandered around the living room in a daze. That’s when I had that weird thought I mentioned earlier, the one about what zombies look like. Nettie was totally acting that way.

Jason had stuffed Lisa’s Honda with all Nettie’s clothes, and her favorite toys. We helped her get settled, unpacking her stuff and getting it into the closet and bureau. Nettie helped, putting things wherever we suggested and answering almost entirely in words of one syllable. Never once did she smile, but she did utter a flat, dull “Thank you” once everything was put away.

Mom came to pick me up around three, and Julie went outside with me despite the cold.

“Was she that bad when you were in Bronning for the funeral?” I asked.

“No, this is way worse,” said Julie.

I hugged her, as intimately as I could with Mom watching from inside of her Explorer.

“I sure hope we can help her,” I said.

“Yeah, me too,” Julie agreed. We let go of each other. God, I wanted so bad to kiss her, but didn’t dare. Instead, I got in the Explorer and rode back to Grandma’s place with Mom. She asked me about how my day was, but I didn’t much feel like talking, so we mostly rode in silence

Meeting Nettie really shook me up. It’s about midnight now, and I haven’t been able to sleep, so I’m writing this instead. Julie and I had such a wonderful day, and something about it seems almost wrong when her cousin is hurting so much. I know that line of thinking is stupid; I have my own life to live. I can agonize all day long, and it won’t make Nettie’s pain any less.

Maybe the big lesson here is to get as much out of life as you can, because lots of times you don’t know when something or someone you love will be taken away, and everything you thought you knew changes. That’s what I think I have to do. I’m going to enjoy every minute of my life that I can, and do my best to help Nettie learn to enjoy hers again. I can’t suffer for her, but maybe I can help do something about that suffering. With that thought in my noggin, and my writing hand getting stiff and sore, maybe now I can get some sleep.

On to Chapter 23!

 

The Loves and Labours of Doris Sloane, Chapter 8

  • Posted on October 8, 2024 at 9:53 pm

by JetBoy and BlueJean

A brief summary of what has transpired thus far. (To get a breakdown of the earlier chapters, please see Chapter Links for descriptions)

Orphaned at the age of eight, sixteen-year-old Doris Sloane has spent half her life in a Catholic orphanage, where she was trained to care for young children. Our story begins when she is taken into service at the home of Victoria Shaw, a widow with three daughters: Melinda (ten), Sophia (eleven) and Becky (fourteen). Doris is thoroughly satisfied with this new life, but her orderly world takes an odd turn one night when she is seduced by Mrs. Shaw. Surprising herself, Doris responds eagerly, fully returning the pleasure she has been given.

In the days that follow, Doris and Victoria couple frequently, and Doris becomes skilled in the art of lesbian lovemaking under the tutelage of her mistress. She is deliriously happy, but her joy is tainted by the fact that she is only engaged to serve in the Shaw household until Melinda, the youngest, turns twelve. To complicate things even further, Doris has fallen madly, passionately in love with Victoria, and lacks the courage to tell her so.

One of Doris’ duties as nanny is to give Melinda and Sophia a bath every other day. The girls often invite Doris to join them in the large Japanese-style tub, but she always refuses, believing it isn’t proper. When she mentions this to Mrs. Shaw after a bout of lovemaking, Victoria suggests that Doris do what her youngest daughters want: get naked and bathe with them. Furthermore, she encourages Doris to pay closer attention to the girls’ nudity, to notice how beautiful they are in the altogether.

Doris finds this a bit strange… but that evening, while giving Sophia and Melinda their bath, she takes the time to study them more closely, and is startled to find herself feeling somewhat aroused.  The girls notice her interest, and on subsequent evenings, eleven-year-old Sophia begins to tease Doris by flaunting her nakedness. This only fuels this budding desire Doris feels… and very soon, she is masturbating to lewd fantasies of Victoria’s daughters.

One afternoon around this time, while the girls are at school, Doris in asked to join Victoria for a light luncheon in the back yard. There, Victoria offers the girl a permanent home as a member of the family, then tells her, “I love you.”

Doris is overwhelmed by emotion at first… but she joyfully accepts, and they celebrate by undressing and making love. 

Then next day, Victoria tells Doris how she first became attracted to women. It began at the age of sixteen, when she was given the service of a personal maid, a lively Irish girl named Nora, who would quickly become young Victoria’s faithful friend and companion. They would become lovers, but it ended disastrously when they were caught in the act. Nora was sent away, and Victoria was left devastated. More than twenty years later, she still mourns the loss of her friend.

Doris does what she can to console Victoria, then goes to bed hoping Nora managed to find happiness, wherever she might have gone.

The story resumes here. Do enjoy.

I

After shipping the girls off to school the next day, I made my way along the thoroughfare back to the house.

Mr. Farnsworth was busy mowing the lawn, clay pipe fixed firmly between his teeth, his push mower carving out neat lines through the grass.

I paused by one of the rose bushes that lined the long driveway, the splayed pink petals and darker pink interior of its blooms invoking something of the gynaecological. “Can I pick one?” I called out to the old gardener, gesturing to one of the larger flowers.

Mr. Farnsworth clattered to a halt with his mower. “Eh?”

“The roses. May I take one?”

He looked ponderously off into the distance, taking a long, leisurely puff of his pipe, as if he was contemplating the meaning of life itself. “Please y’self,” he finally said. Taking up the mower once more, he resumed his steady trek across the lawn.

Careful to avoid the nasty-looking thorns, I snapped the rose off at the stem, bringing it to my face to breathe in its delicate scent.

I found Victoria sequestered in her study, rotary telephone in her hand. She paced back and forth in front of her desk, moving only as far as the cable would allow.

I quickly made to leave, not wanting to interrupt, but she waved me inside.

“No, Mr. Jefferson, it’s not the transaction itself that’s the issue. It’s the fact that I did not authorise it. As far as I’m aware, I’m still the managing director of Shaw Mercantile, and you’re still the director of operations, am I correct in that assumption? Yes? Oh, that is a relief. Well, now that we’ve established the company hierarchy, may I very strongly suggest you don’t try cutting me out of the decision-making process again? Good. Yes. Yes, that’s very reassuring to hear. How are Susan and the children, by the way? Excellent. Send them my love. Goodbye, Mr. Jefferson. Thank you.”

Victoria replaced the receiver in its cradle, then offered me a weary smile. “Is that for me?” she asked, noticing the rose.

I peered down at the bloom in my hand, now wondering if my gesture of affection might seem childish. “Oh. Yes. I can come back later, if you’re busy.”

“I’m never too busy for you, my love. Come and have a seat.”

I sat in the chair opposite her desk while Victoria emptied a fluted vase previously filled with wildflowers that Melinda had given her, now shrivelled and dry. She reached out for the rose. “What a nice thought,” she said, then furrowed her brow in mock concern. “Or… am I presuming too much in thinking it’s for me?”

“Oh, stop teasing,” I told her with a grin, handing her the offering. “Of course it’s for you. I picked it on a whim. Was it silly of me?”

Victoria slipped the rose into the vase, then set it down upon her desk. “No, not at all. I’d like to think I have enough of the romantic in me to appreciate such a gesture.” She slowly traced a petal with the tip of her finger. “My late husband once compared me to a rose, you know. It might’ve been mistaken for a rare compliment, at least until he clarified his meaning: that I was beautiful but full of thorns.”

“I don’t think that’s true.”

She raised a brow at me. “That I’m beautiful, or thorny?”

I gave her a playful scowl. “You know exactly what I mean.”

“Well, he was right as it turned out. I do have thorns. Poor old William learnt that in a most unpleasant way.”

“Oh, dear. That sounds… ominous.”

Victoria had bent her head to partake of the rose’s sweet perfume. When she glanced up at me once again, there was resolve in her eyes. “I owe you the remainder of my story, don’t I?”

I shook my head. “You don’t have to tell it. I wouldn’t want to see you upset again.”

“Nevertheless, you shall hear it. And this one has a happier ending. Well… for me, at least.”

II

Losing Nora left me utterly devastated, a shadow of the bright, joyful girl I’d once been. In the midst of this grief, my parents, panic-stricken by the potential scandal my dalliance might cause, decided to marry me off as soon as possible.

William Shaw had briefly been considered a potential match, but later disregarded due to his age – I was sixteen, he was twenty-nine – and because he was rumoured to have dissolute ways. Now, though, with so many possible suitors promised to others or killed in the Great War, Mother and Father were unwilling to spend time searching for a more suitable candidate. So William was brought back into the fold, and I was unceremoniously given to him as a wife.

Needless to say, I wanted no part of this arrangement. What little I’d seen of William Shaw was more than enough for me. But Father would not permit a word of objection, not after the way I’d ‘disgraced myself’. He made it clear in no uncertain terms that I would be driven from our home and disowned if I refused this marriage.

What else could I do? I had no money, no resources to call my own. If I went to any of my relatives for help, Father would tell them about Nora. “No one in our family will take you in – no one,” he told me. “I’ll see to that.” I believe now that he was bluffing, and would never have dared to cast me out for real… but his stratagem worked, and I married a stranger out of fear.

The wedding itself was a quiet one, thank goodness. I might well have fainted in the presence of a large crowd. As it was, I barely recall it, too occupied by the struggle to conceal my despair. Somehow, we got through the ceremony, then I was seated next to William in the back of his car, being chauffeured to what was to be my new life.

That evening, my new husband was all too eager to consummate our marriage. He was not an attentive man in the bedchamber, satisfying his base needs without any regard for the frightened young woman beneath him. That first time was quite horrific, painful and humiliating in equal measure. After that, it just became one more thing to endure.

I thought marriage might become easier for me, given time, once William and I grew to know each other better. But something soon became quite apparent to me: William Shaw was a bully.

There are two kinds of bullies: those who know they’re tougher and meaner than everyone else, and have every intention of proving it. Then there are the bullies who are weak and insecure, preferring victims who are smaller and weaker than themselves. William Shaw was of the latter. And who would serve better for this purpose than a new bride barely out of her childhood years?

There were hints about his true nature from the start, but it was six months after our wedding, once all pretence of civility had been put aside, that the brutality began in earnest. Soon enough, I was doing all I could to avoid straying into William’s path. Mrs. Broomfield and Miss Haggerty made some effort to protect me, but there was little either of them could do that wouldn’t have resulted in immediate dismissal, and that would have made my situation even worse. The kitchen was as much a sanctuary as I could hope for, given that men like William prefer to dole out punishment without witnesses.

With Nora still very much in my thoughts, utterly alone and constantly under siege from a drunk, abusive husband, I saw only one means of escape. I came very close to taking my own life several times during that first year of marriage. Ultimately, it was becoming a mother that saved me.

I was eighteen when I gave birth to Rebecca, and she was the most beautiful, amazing thing I’d ever seen. I doted on her, poured all my love into this small, helpless bundle of joy that had been granted to me. She gave me purpose, a reason to carry on.

Even William, who mostly saw babies as a source of annoyance, seemed to soften in the presence of his first child. The abuse ceased for a while, but nature had intended him to be a bully, and soon enough he returned to form. I bore it with a new resolve, for I was no longer the only one who needed to be protected.

My husband had always been an enthusiastic drinker, but after the birth of Rebecca he began to lose himself in the bottle more frequently. Often, I would pass his office only to find him slumped against the desk, a glass of whisky clutched protectively in his hands. I was glad of those occasions, if only because they rendered him incapable of further cruelty.

It was commonplace to have our butler Brenton help my wreck of a husband upstairs to bed while I cleared up his papers. I’d always had a good head for numbers, so I soon found myself organising documents, or signing off on transactions that William had been too drunk to finalise. It became clear that I had a real aptitude for business, and I gradually took a larger role in the day-to-day affairs of the firm. Without a doubt, Shaw Mercantile would have gone under if it were not for my intervention. As the years went by, I took more and more control of my husband’s shipping company, if only because I knew we would lose everything otherwise.

When I was twenty-one, Sophia was born, and Melinda arrived a year and a half later. By then, William was so ravaged by drink that he was barely able to function. He didn’t take to his younger daughters in the same way he had with Rebecca. In fact, he barely seemed aware of their existence. For the most part, I was able to avoid his wrath, taking the children out on day trips with Miss Haggerty, and busying myself with the upkeep of Shaw Mercantile. William was either unaware I was running his business or pretended to be, I was never quite sure which.

My children, the upkeep of Shadowglen, and the maintenance of my husband’s business had forced responsibility upon me, giving purpose to my life. But despite having found and nurtured that inner strength, I still found myself on the receiving end of my husband’s cowardly rages from time to time. He blacked my eye one night, enraged by a “high and mighty” look he accused me of giving him while he fumbled through unlacing his shoes. I was obliged to explain it away by claiming to have walked into a low-hanging tree branch whilst strolling the grounds.

Then came the fateful day when William discovered that his pretty English rose was quite capable of drawing blood.

Melinda was barely a year old. I remember she was cradled in my arms while William and I were having a particularly nasty row about something or other. By that point, I could give as good as I got – in the verbal department, at least.

Brute though he was, I never dreamed William would dare to strike me with a babe in my arms, so when he took a swing and almost brained Melinda instead, I was dumbfounded, then livid with rage.

I managed to keep a calm demeanour, but later that evening I found William drunk in the bath, trying to shave himself with no success. By then, his hands seemed to have developed a permanent tremor.

“For God’s sake, help me with this – this bloody thing!” he growled. “I keep cutting myself!”

Calmly taking the straight razor from his shaking hands, I set about scraping away the stubble from his wretched face.

You know where this is going, don’t you? Of course you do.

Once my husband was impeccably shaved, the razor slowly made its way down to press against his jugular vein. Alarmed, William made to snatch at my wrist, but I stopped him in mid-motion with a single word. “Don’t.”

“Y-you… you wouldn’t dare, you mad bitch,” he squeaked, his face a deathly pallor.

My voice was cool and steady, which must have alarmed him even more. “Oh, I would, though. I’d like nothing more than to draw this blade across your throat and watch the life drain out of you.”

His eyes were frantically rolling, but he made no further attempts to move. “What the hell’s got into you, woman?!”

The razor still firmly resting against William’s quivering throat, I spoke low and clear into his ear. “If you ever lay a finger on me or my children again, I will kill you without hesitation, do you hear? You’ll never even know it happened. One evening you’ll pass out in your cups and never wake up again. If you have any sense left in that whisky-soaked brain of yours, you’ll mark me well, husband.”

With that, I pushed the straight razor back into his hand and closed his fingers around it. Perhaps that was foolhardy of me, but my message was clear enough: I’m not afraid of you anymore.

I left William in his tepid bathwater, eyes filled with terror.

That was the day I finally saw my husband for what he was: a cowardly, pathetic little man. It was also the day he saw me for who I was: a woman who had reached her limit. He never raised his hand to me again.

After that evening, William’s presence at Shadowglen was akin to that of a ghost. He occasionally spent time with Rebecca, but barely acknowledged the rest of us. His only real refuge was in a whisky glass, and he spent the remainder of his life in an alcoholic stupor.

Four years later, he was dead. As his spouse, and in the absence of an official will, everything he owned went to me – the house, the company, the money. I was set for life. And more importantly, I was free.

III

“Goodness me,” I said, as Victoria leaned back into the soft leather of her Chesterfield, lacing her hands together. “Remind me never to get on your wrong side.”

“Oh, I’m quite certain you could never invoke my wrath, Doris dear,” she told me with a smile. “But if you’re not over here in my lap with your skirt up around your waist in the next few seconds, who can say?”

And so I did as my lady wished. She hadn’t told me to slip my knickers down and off, but I took that extra liberty anyway. Parking myself on Victoria’s lap, I was rewarded with a finger plunging in and out of my cunt.

“You’re so wet,” she hissed in my ear. “So warm and wet.”

“I’m always wet for you,” I murmured back, a series of small orgasms going off inside me like firecrackers, one after the other. Often it happened this way – a prelude to a much greater detonation, which was quick to follow.

Once I’d caught my breath, Victoria pushed me away, then hiked her own skirt up, shifting forward to the edge of the chair and drawing her legs apart. She pulled the gusset of her knickers to one side, but not before I could notice the large damp patch at the crotch. “Eat my cunt,” she commanded.

I was down on my hands and knees in a moment, trailing my tongue through her musky folds. She smelled wonderful, a rich, earthy aroma every bit as enticing as the perfume of the rose upon her desk. She prised herself open for me, unsheathing the swollen nub of her clitoris. I took it into my mouth to suck, then flicked it back and forth with the tip of the tongue. Seeking and finding her arsehole, I wriggled a finger inside, fucking her bum while I attacked her cunt with my mouth. Soon enough, I had provoked Victoria to climax, her hands clutching handfuls of my hair while she cried out my name.

After discarding the rest of our clothes, Victoria had me sit on the edge of the desk while she drew one of my legs up and slotted her cunt against mine. Grinding against one another, we came several more times that morning, my thorny rose and I.

IV

With Victoria away on one of her forays into the city the next day and Shadowglen all to myself, I had ample time to consider her many revelations.

So much made sense to me now – the nature of her relationship with the brute of a man she’d had no choice but to call husband, her true desire forced into the shadows of an unhappy marriage, like so many others during that era of unbending convention. And the estrangement of her mother and father, who had engineered that terrible union. Now I knew why the girls rarely spoke of their grandparents. I don’t think they had much contact with them, if at all. There had been no visit from them since I had come to Shadowglen, that much I knew, nor from their paternal grandparents, for that matter.

And yet, that sham marriage had given her three beautiful daughters. I wondered if her bond with the girls had carried her through those years, a beacon of light in an otherwise dark world. Would she have succumbed to despair without them at her side?

And then there was us. Victoria and I.

If the revelations concerning her relationship with the housemaid and the marriage she’d subsequently been forced into weren’t enough, Victoria had left me reeling with her offer of Shadowglen as my permanent home, where I would live as her partner and lover.

Of course I was over the moon and eager to accept, but I also wondered how a relationship like ours could endure under the circumstances. 1935 was really no more tolerant or enlightened than 1919, when Victoria had been caught with her friend Nora, as far as romantic love between women was concerned. Which meant we would have no choice but to conceal our true feelings behind the walls of Shadowglen. We would be living a lie.

But then, wasn’t society fed and fueled by lies? In the orphanage alone, I’d been exposed to hundreds of them… and a glance through any newspaper might unearth dozens more. Lies told to the world, lies we told to ourselves. Did it really matter if Victoria and I added a few more to the grand tally?

Then there were the girls to consider. Would we have to keep our love, our passion a secret from them, too? Was such a thing even possible with the five of us living under the same roof? I didn’t know if Becky, Sophia or Melinda were even remotely aware of their mother’s penchant for other women.

I thought about all this as I dusted and polished and ironed. I thought long and hard. But honestly, I’d already accepted my situation. I loved Victoria, I loved the girls. And come what may, Shadowglen was my home now. After everything Victoria had told me, I no longer wanted to wring my hands over things I couldn’t control. This was the hand life had dealt me, and considering my humble circumstances, it was more than I had any right to expect. Perhaps it would work out, perhaps not, but regardless I would take each day as it arrived, and allow myself to be happy.

I didn’t have long to dwell on such things in the coming days, anyway. You see, Victoria wasn’t quite done surprising me.

V

Evenings at Shadowglen followed a familiar routine: The girls would return from school and spend an hour playing in the garden (or up in their rooms if the weather was wet) while Mrs. Broomfield and I prepared dinner, and Victoria finished off work in her study. After we’d eaten, and the dining room table cleared, I would spend a while helping the girls with their homework until bath time beckoned, or if it wasn’t bath night, simply let them scamper off to do as they pleased. Later, clad in dressing gowns and nighties, they would come down to the living room for mugs of cocoa before bedtime.

But I’m getting a little ahead of myself. Let us return to homework at the dining room table.

It was still early evening, but the last of the summer daylight had been all but blotted out by dark, angry clouds and sheets of monsoon-like rain. The thunderstorm seemed to charge the air around us, invoking a kind of tense, unspoken exhilaration.

It was hot and humid. Sophia and Melinda were particularly giggly that evening, their eyes sparkling with a scintilla of mischief. Victoria – who had recently been spending more time with us whilst the girls worked on their homework assignments – cooled herself with a small Oriental fan, the first couple of buttons of her blouse popped free. Becky, so keen to emulate her mother, had partially unbuttoned her school shirt as well.

Victoria kept peering across at me, giving me smiles I couldn’t help but return. I’m sure Becky must have recognised them as more than just friendly exchanges. She kept stealing glances at me herself, almost as if she were vying with her mother for my attention. It seemed there was another kind of tension in the air that night – the one inside Shadowglen feeding off the other percolating outside.

I wasn’t immune to the charged atmosphere in the room. My nipples were inexplicably stiff and sensitive beneath my cotton shirt, and a dull, pleasant thrum stirred between my legs, leaving me aching for the attention that only a lover or a restless hand can offer.

I rolled up my sleeves, and tried to concentrate on the task at hand, placing a finger upon the textbook lying open before me on the table. “So, if Queen Elizabeth I reigned between 1558 and 1603, how many years was she queen?”

The question was directed at Sophia and Melinda. As the eldest sister, Becky scribbled away on her own separate assignment, occasionally peering up to ask me or her mother a question.

“Stop kicking me, Sophie!” Melinda groused as she counted away on her fingers. She was sitting between me and Victoria on one side of the table, with Becky and Sophia on the other.

“How do you know it’s me?” Sophia returned with a smirk. “It might be Becky or Doris kicking you. Or even Mummy!”

“I know it’s you because I can see your head bobbing up and down,” a grinning Melinda replied, and bounced up and down in her chair to illustrate the point.

“Keep your feet to yourselves and concentrate on your homework, both of you,” Victoria told them, and Sophia gave a little pout.

Melinda slid her chair back from the table. “There. You can’t get me now, Sophie, can you?”

It was very hard not to notice that the ten-year-old’s plaid skirt had ridden up to her waist. Harder still to ignore the sight of her white knickers as she crossed and uncrossed her legs. Victoria had encouraged me to admire the beauty of her two youngest daughters as they bathed, but I had done more than that, much more. I had allowed myself to see them through a lens of sexuality; even summoned up images of them while I masturbated. Surely that hadn’t been Victoria’s intention. Would she be cross with me if she knew? It seemed likely.

But still, those knickers… tantalising flashes of white against the pale, smooth flesh of Melinda’s inner thighs. The child seemed oblivious to my furtive peeks as her legs scissored to and fro, and God knows I tried not to look. But isn’t it always the way that when you do your best not to look at something, you just end up doing it all the more?

I managed to drag my eyes away from between Melinda’s legs for the umpteenth time, then glanced up to find Victoria peering back at me. Good God, had she noticed where I’d been looking? She didn’t appear to be angry, or even annoyed – on the contrary, she regarded me with an amused smile.

Perhaps she hadn’t seen what I was up to. Or she simply read nothing untoward in it. After all, it was Victoria who had insisted there was no shame in looking. She could hardly blame me for taking her advice to heart, I reasoned. Nevertheless, I felt my face turn warm under her gaze.

“Forty-five years!” Sophia cried out, making me jump.

“Hmm?” I murmured.

She scowled at me. “Elizabeth I was queen for forty-five years. Pay attention, Doris!”

“Why was she called the Virgin Queen?” Melinda enquired, her legs now thankfully closed.

Becky gave a little snort, but didn’t look up from her textbook.

I did my best to compose myself. “Well… she never took a husband or had children.”

“Why not? Didn’t she need children to take over when she died?”

“Yes, ideally she would’ve produced heirs, but… honestly, no one’s really sure why.”

“Perhaps Elizabeth decided no man was up to the task of prince consort,” Victoria said cooly, her eyes probing mine. “Who knows? She might’ve preferred a queen consort instead.”

“Mother!” Becky admonished, then gave me a brief furtive glance, colour tinging her cheeks.

The younger girls seemed puzzled. “How can a queen have a queen?” asked Melinda.

“I think your mother is making a little joke,” I mumbled. “So, er… yes, forty-five years was the correct answer, Sophia. The next question…” I scanned the textbook in front of me, glad to have something other than Victoria’s unyielding gaze to command my attention. “What was the name of the theatre where Shakespeare’s plays were staged?”

“The Globe!” Melinda proudly announced.

“Very good.” I replied.

And all the while thunder rumbled outside like the laughter of gods. The rain hadn’t let up a jot, the air still humid and clingy; charged with possibility.

VI

Come morning, the rain and thunder had given way to clear skies and sunshine. A fine day for hanging out washing, which was just as well, as it was laundry day.

Having done my fair share of scrubbing clothes by hand in the orphanage scullery, Victoria’s top of the range Savage electric washing machine was a gift sent by heaven. Initially I was terrified of the noisy thing, and tried without success to convince Victoria that washing clothes the old fashioned way would get them cleaner. But I soon came to relish feeding sheets and garments of clothing into the drum, then watching with a peculiar species of hypnotic awe as they went round and round.

I never got used to the spin cycle, though. Even with the lid firmly attached, I would stand well clear of the big vibrating behemoth, convinced it would suddenly explode and destroy half the house, or worse – suck me into its whirring maw and swallow me whole, leaving nothing but a pair of vacant shoes to prove I was ever there.

I was pouring detergent into the revolving drum, happily humming away to myself when I felt hands around my waist; warm lips teasing the nape of my neck. I gasped in pleasure, pushing back against Victoria’s body, eager to give my lover whatever she wanted.

One of her hands appeared in front of me, delving into the unwashed pile of clothing on the counter to snatch up a pair of white knickers, the same ones Melinda had worn the previous evening. I’d rubbed myself to a splendid climax later that night, pretending she’d been letting me look up her dress on purpose.

Victoria held her daughter’s underpants before me for a moment, then brought them to my face.

“Wh-what are you doing?” I mumbled through the soft cotton. It held a light, musky scent, and I felt a twinge of excitement in the midst of my confusion, knowing it was the aroma of Melinda’s sex.

When I tried to pull the knickers away, Victoria batted my hand aside. “Shhh… Isn’t this what you want, Doris? I saw you last night, peeking at my little girl’s smalls. Or is it what’s underneath that interests you?”

“I d-don’t know what you mean,” I protested, squirming inside and out.

“Oh, I think you do,” Victoria insisted. “There’s no need to deny it. In fact, I was rather hoping you felt that way.”

What on earth did she mean by that? Goodness knows, Victoria was no shrinking violet when it came to sex – I’d seen her do things that would make a sailor blush – but this was something new, and it unnerved me a little.

Drawing Melinda’s knickers away, Victoria let them drop into the pile of clothing, then pulled the whole lot onto the floor, along with the unwashed sheets and towels. “I need to ask you something very important, Doris,” she crooned. “But first, I’m going to fuck you.”

With our own clothes stripped away and added to the pile on the floor, we lay down and made love hard and fast amongst the dirty laundry. Victoria ground herself against my sex with an urgency that thrilled me. I twisted my hips and pressed into her, seeking that sweet spot where cunt aligns perfectly with cunt. We came against one another that way, our union brief but no less exquisite for that.

Our clothes given up for lost amongst the jumble of dirty laundry, we scampered naked up the stairs and retreated into Victoria’s room, laughing like giddy schoolgirls. We lay stretched out on the bed.

I remembered Victoria’s earlier words. “What was the important thing you wanted to ask me?

Victoria gazed at me for a long moment, as if she was weighing her options. Finally, she spoke. “You know, Doris… I often wonder how my life might have been different.”

“What do you mean?”

“If Nora and I had been allowed to be together, to live as lovers. If society had permitted such a thing.”

“But then you wouldn’t have had the girls,” I pointed out.

“No. And I have no regrets… except for not knowing what became of poor Nora, of course. Still, I wonder how things would’ve turned out if we’d been able to pursue our love. She and I never had a chance. But if I want to give the girls the choice I never had, I must do so before they get much older and society manages to sink its damned hooks in.”

I wasn’t sure what she was getting at, and my confusion must have shown.

“I believe most women and girls have sapphic tendencies, Doris,” Victoria opined. “I don’t know what purpose that might serve from nature’s point of view, and I don’t think the same can be said of men and boys – at least, not to the same extent – but there’s always been a certain intimacy between women that’s hard to define.

“My daughters might grow up to marry men and have children of their own, and I have no objection to that, if it’s what they choose. But I want to show them there’s another way. It might be too late for Rebecca – she’s old enough to know her own mind, and just as stubborn as I was at that age, but I believe Melinda and Sophia are still young enough to be receptive to new possibilities.”

I propped myself up on an elbow, carefully regarding my lady. “I don’t quite understand. You think the girls need some kind of… education in how women make love to other women?”

Victoria ran the tips of her fingers down the contours of my body, across the swell of my breast and rib cage, then over my hips and thighs. “I’ve seen how you look at my daughters, Doris. All three of them. You’re not very good at hiding your true feelings, my sweet. And wasn’t it me who encouraged you to pay close attention to Melinda and Sophia when they were naked? Would you be shocked if I told you my intentions weren’t altogether innocent?”

I opened my mouth to speak, realised I had no words, then shut it again.

“And surely you’ve not failed to notice the way the two of them act around you. I certainly haven’t. The way their eyes sparkle, how they get silly and giggly. They’re especially animated when they come down for cocoa after their bath.”

“I… I began looking at them, just like you said I should,” I told her. “They noticed straight away – I suppose you’re right, I’m not very good at hiding things. But they seemed to like it. Now it’s as if they want me to look at them whenever their clothes are off. Maybe it’s just a fun game to them, or maybe—”

Victoria intercepted my fumbling attempt to explain with a new question. “Are you attracted to my daughters, Doris? Tell me truthfully, and know that I have no objections either way. None at all. But you must be honest.”

I stared at her, unsure how to proceed. Once the words were out, there would be no taking them back. Of course I was attracted to the girls. Hadn’t I masturbated to thoughts of them? Wasn’t I seizing every opportunity to ogle Melinda and Sophia’s bare bodies in the bath? Didn’t I long to see Becky strip down to her underthings in front of me again, just as she’d done that day in the shop changing booth?

Victoria demanded the truth. How could I give her anything less?

“I think they’re beautiful, Victoria. Yes, I find them attractive. And I… I think about them that way, yes.”

She reached across to kiss me full on the lips, lingering for a long moment before pulling away and fixing me with an intense look. “Do you love me, Doris?”

“You know I do.”

“And how far would you go to please me?”

I took her hand and kissed the palm, the gesture almost as much an act of fealty as it was affection. “I’d do anything for you,” I murmured.

“Would you?” she asked. “I wonder.”

She seemed to consider her next words carefully. “Tonight you’ll bathe with Sophia and Melinda. You will wash them, and let them wash you. You’ll touch them intimately, show them how girls may pleasure each other. And if you can, Doris, you will bring them to climax. Do you understand?”

I slowly nodded my assent, trying to absorb the full meaning of her words. Victoria was instructing me to seduce her two youngest daughters. There was no room for misinterpretation.

There were questions, though. Whys and Hows and What-Ifs. But I was very aware of not rocking the boat at that particular moment. I had dreamt of being intimate with the girls, had fantasised about it, and now, against all my wildest expectations, Victoria was actually giving me permission to do just that. Devious though it might have been, I didn’t want to give her an opportunity to change her mind.

So I reduced my questions down to just one. “Aren’t they too young to feel that kind of pleasure?”

Victoria pulled me on top of her. “Girls are able to become aroused at a very young age. Even as babies, in fact.”

I didn’t ask her how she could know that, nor did it seem important at that moment. With my mind filled with illicit thoughts of her children, and all the wild possibilities that bath time might bring, Victoria Shaw and I fucked the afternoon away like two rutting animals.

On to Chapter Nine!

 

Stranger in the Family, Chapter 11

  • Posted on October 1, 2024 at 3:32 pm

 

A summary of what has transpired thus far. (To get a more detailed breakdown of the previous chapters, please see Stranger in the Family Chapter Links)

Disaster befalls the Luna family of four when lightning strikes Walt, the father, and Kelly, the oldest child at eleven. Walt is killed outright, while Kelly is left in a coma that lasts for weeks. She finally emerges, to the overwhelming joy of her mother Linda and nine-year-old sister Gabby – but with no memory of her family or her life, and an altogether different personality. Kelly now speaks fluent Spanish, no longer eats meat and, most crucially, has a serious attraction to women and girls, despite never having had sex of any kind.

At first, Kelly openly flirts with every female in her presence – including her mother, her little sister, her Aunt Jan, and the neighbors: divorced mother Cheryl (Linda’s best friend) and her daughters – sixteen-year-old Ali, and nine-year-old Pam (Gabby’s best friend). But soon Kelly realizes that this direct approach is more apt to make others uncomfortable than entice them into bed, so she tones it down.

However, two members of Kelly’s family are fascinated by the eleven-year-old’s sexual vibe. The first is Gabby, who has already been playing masturbation games with her friend Pam, so Kelly is easily able to begin the seduction of her younger sister. The second is Aunt Jan, who is openly gay but secretly into underage girls, with a hidden library of illegal DVDs to prove it. And while Kelly’s mother Linda is thus far immune to her daughter’s sexual charms, she is thinking quite a lot about lesbian sex after the death of her husband. In fact, we learn that Linda and her sister Jan were lovers back in their teen years… and Jan is hinting she’d like to pick things up where they left off.

Around this time, one night while her mother and little sister are asleep, Kelly slips out of bed and quietly makes her way to Cheryl’s home. There, she ends up in a sizzling threesome with Cheryl and her daughter Ali who, as it happens, are already lovers.

The next day, Kelly offers Cheryl an opportunity to spy through an outside window as she performs oral on Gabby and Pam. Cheryl very much wants to bring her younger daughter into the sexual relationship she has with Ali, so she jumps at the chance. Needless to say, Kelly and the girls have a wonderful time, and Cheryl sees the whole thing without being noticed. 

The next day, Linda takes Kelly and Gabby to stay with their Aunt Jan for the weekend, so she can spend that time at a spa.  While she’s there, Linda confesses to her sister Jan that she’s been thinking about the two of them becoming lovers again.

Once Linda leaves, Kelly commences her own seduction of Jan. Her aunt resists, but Kelly is determined to get what she wants… and that night, she does.

The next morning, Kelly makes love to Gabby on the dining table, putting on a show for Aunt Jan who, unbeknownst to Gabby, is watching from the hallway. After Gabby comes, she offers to lick her big sister’s pussy for the first time, and Kelly is quick to accept.

That evening, Kelly, Gabby and Jan all come together in a threesome for the first time… but probably not the last!

The next day, Linda picks her daughters up for the drive back home. By then, she feels certain her daughters are having sex with each other, and is perplexed to find herself aroused by the thought of it.

Later, she pays a visit to Gabby in her room, intent on having a chat with her youngest daughter about sex. Deciding to be honest with her mom, Gabby tells Linda everything she and Kelly have been up to, including their weekend with Aunt Jan. Linda is so turned on by Gabby’s revelations that she impulsively offers to touch her nine-year-old until she comes. Gabby is quick to accept. Afterward, Linda promises that they can make love again… and Kelly can join them.

And that brings us to this chapter. Please enjoy.

Ali and her mother Cheryl were nestled together in bed, unwinding from a vigorous fuck. They’d just tribbed each other to a mutual orgasm.

“Is Pam a good kisser?” asked Cheryl, idly trailing two fingers through her oldest daughter’s anal cleft.

“Oh, sure,” Ali replied, then paused to take a long, luxurious yawn. “I knew she would be, what with all the practice she’s been getting with Gabby.”

“Mmmm, Gabby,” Cheryl purred. “God, do I ever want into that little girl’s pants.”

Propping herself up on one elbow, Ali studied her mother thoughtfully. “Do you want her more than Pam, then?”

Cheryl shrugged. “It’s not a contest.” Musing for a moment, she added, “Y’know, I’ve lusted after your sister since she was kindergarten age, at least. I think she was six, the first time I rubbed myself off while thinking about her. Every day, I see young girls who turn me on in a big way, but this… this need I have for Pam, it’s a part of me. Hard to compare that desire to anything else.” She reached out; took Alicia’s hand. “Well, except the way I feel for you, sweetheart. There’s nothing on earth like the love a mother has for her daughter. Never forget that.”

They came together in a tender kiss, then Ali chuckled. “Thinking about it now, it seems kinda weird… y’know, how you waited until I was thirteen to make a move on me?”

“Oh, it took me a long while to understand what I really wanted, you know that. I always felt lightheaded when I saw you undressed, or in a cute bathing suit… but I thought that was just me being a proud mom.”

Placing a hand on her mother’s vulva, Ali gently cupped it. “When did you figure out how you really felt?”

Narrowing her eyes, Cheryl said, “This story again? Babe, you’ve heard it dozens of times.”

“It’s my favorite story,” said the grinning teen. “Gets me hot every time you tell it.”

“Me too, actually,” Cheryl purred, placing a tiny kiss on her daughter’s nose. “You’d just finished taking a shower, and had a towel wrapped around your body. Well, I just meant to pop my head in and ask you to bring your backpack up from the living room, but you were facing away… and before I could say anything, you let the towel fall.”

“Oooh!” Ali squealed. “My, what a wicked little girl I was.”

By then, Cheryl was dreamy-eyed, caught up in her tale. “I hadn’t seen you naked in a couple of years… and omigod, it hit me like a, a tidal wave. Such a lovely sight…” She gave a blissful sigh. “That’s when I knew the truth. I felt desire, sexual desire for my thirteen-year-old daughter. I wanted you, sweetheart… and then, somehow, you figured out how I felt.”

Ali nodded. “I don’t know how I knew, but yeah, I did. I mean, I already figured out you were gay–”

“From snooping around on my laptop, you little minx,” Cheryl said.

“Whatever. And that was when I thought, Whoa, Mom likes ME that way? So… I decided to show you that, if you really wanted to do stuff with me, I was way into that!”

Cheryl rolled her eyes. “Lord, I remember those days. Barely wearing clothes around the house, giving me peeks down your top, always dropping things in front of me so you’d have to bend over and pick them up… I don’t think I’ve ever masturbated so often in my life. Three times a day, at least!”

“Yeah, and I’d already figured out that I liked girls. So I was waiting for you to, y’know, do something. Maybe try and kiss me.”

“Oh, no, no. I’d never have been brave enough to make the first move,” said Cheryl.

“Yeah, and finally I couldn’t wait any more,” Ali replied with a shrug. “And I figured the worst that could happen was you’d just say no. So that one night, I took off all my clothes, snuck down to your room and got in bed with you.”

“That you did. And then… it happened,” Cheryl said, pausing to kiss her daughter’s brow. “Like something out of a dream. That was the happiest moment of my life, I swear.”

“You might change your mind about that, once you’ve made love to Pam,” Ali said. “She’s got the sweetest pussy I ever tasted.”

Cheryl sighed heavily. “Oh, I’m sure she does. It’s just… Pam’s only nine. Even if she likes girls, I’m not sure if she’s ready for sex with her mother.”

Ali thought for a moment, then said, “Look, Mom… I’ve got a really interesting idea. If it works out, you’ll get to fuck not only Pam, but Gabby as well. And me too, of course. A mini-orgy, right under our own roof. Wanna hear it?”

Cheryl studied her oldest daughter. “I’m listening.”

Ali sat up, the sheet falling to bare her breasts. “We tell Pam she ought to invite Gabby to stay the night. This Friday, say. Now, Gabby’s already said she wants to see me naked, and I guarantee she’s open to a lot more than that. Now, what if the three of us start fooling around, then I ask the girls if they’d like to see something really hot. And when they say ‘Sure’, guess where I take them?”

“Um, down to the living room, to watch lesbian porn…?”

“Nope!” Ali fired back. “We go down the hallway to peek through a certain door that just happens to be open. And there we’ll get a good long look at Pam and Ali’s mom, stark naked and rubbing her cunt.”

“Wait, wait!” Cheryl exclaimed, sitting upright. “You’re suggesting I put on a sex show?”

“Well, yeah. I mean, c’mon, Mom – tell me that doesn’t turn you on.”

“Actually, it does,” Cheryl agreed. “But how do we get from there to the four of us in bed together?”

“Like this. We’ll peek into your room for a few minutes, and that’ll be plenty of time for me to figure out if the girls are into watching you… though I’m totally sure they will be. Then we’ll sneak back to my room, and I’ll leave the door slightly open, just like you will. You wait about ten minutes or so, until we’re having sex, then come in and ‘catch’ us. Don’t even bother to dress – come in naked. If that doesn’t turn into a fuck-fest, I give up.”

Cheryl pondered the idea, then slowly nodded. “I mean, they’re both into sex with girls, and Pam’s already doing incest with you… well, it might work. I guess the only question is if they’re willing to fool around with an older woman.”

“Oh, give me a break, Mom,” Ali sighed, rolling her eyes. “You’re a total sex bomb, and the girls are gonna be all over you like syrup on waffles.”

Reaching for her daughter’s hand, a smiling Cheryl drew Ali into her arms. “You always know the right thing to say, sweetheart,” she murmured, cradling the teen close. “Fine, then. We’ll give your idea a shot. First, we set up the sleepover, then we’ll take it from there.”

“Sounds like a plan. Now… can I have a kiss, Mom? A nice juicy one.”

“Oh, God,” Cheryl moaned, her body pulsing with reawakened desire. Her lips met Ali’s, then mother and daughter came together in a kiss that quickly grew deep and heated. She rolled onto her back, bringing Ali along, pressing her thigh between the girl’s legs.

“Yeah. Fuck me, Mom,” Ali whispered.

***

Pam loved her mother’s suggestion that they invite Gabby to come by for a sleepover after the Fourth of July celebration. Gabby had been out of town for a few days, visiting her aunt, and Pam was practically bursting with news to share with her best friend.

After weeks of wondering if it would ever happen, Pam finally got to have sex with her big sister Alicia. They’d played all the hot, naked games she’d explored with Gabby, along with some new things Pam had never done before, Best of all, Ali said they could do it again — anytime they felt like it!

Falling back on the bed, Pam gleefully hugged herself. Oh, man… Gabby is gonna flip OUT when I tell her!

***

On the morning of the Fourth, Gabby awakened, thrilled about the day ahead… and still awed by the amazing weekend she’d had. So much had happened to change her life, nearly all of it for the better. Well, losing Daddy and our dog to a bolt of lightning was awful, and Kelly ending up in a coma was pretty bad, too, even if she did wake up from it.

But when Kelly finally did emerge from her unconscious state, she wasn’t the same big sister as before. In fact, she was almost completely different. And that was when Gabby’s life – and the lives of her family and friends – entered uncharted territory.

Three months earlier, she’d seldom given much thought to sex. Then, not long before the tragedy that claimed her father’s life, Gabby’s best friend Pam had taught her to masturbate. Not knowing what to expect, Gabby was hooked from the first, and began to finger herself to climax nearly every night.

One afternoon, she and Pam decided to masturbate together, and they immediately agreed that it was way hotter when you got to watch someone else do it at the same time. After that, the two nine-year-olds got together as often as they could to pleasure themselves.

When Pam hesitantly suggested they try touching each other, Gabby loved the idea – in fact, she was annoyed with herself for not thinking of it first. Seating themselves side by side, the girls fondled one another to orgasm, agreeing afterwards that it felt lots better than doing it on your own.

That was the last chance Gabby and Pam had to share those lovely feelings for a while. Two days later the violent thunderstorm came, the one that took the life of Gabby’s father and left her sister permanently unconscious in a hospital bed. A heartbroken Gabby spent all her spare time with Kelly, desperately wishing for her older sibling to awaken.

When Kelly finally did come to, Gabby and her mother Linda were beside themselves with joy – that is, they learned that the accident had robbed Kelly of her past, the girl’s memory completely wiped away. She couldn’t remember her mother or sister, she now spoke fluent Spanish, and she’d developed an obsession with seeing girls and women naked, especially her mother and younger sister.

As it turned out, Kelly wanted much more from Gabby than a glimpse of her in the nude. Soon, she’d taught her sister how lovers kiss; soon thereafter, they were exploring sex together. After the masturbation games she’d enjoyed with Pam, it didn’t seem so very odd to fool around with her beloved older sibling.

Their sexual activities only snowballed from there. Not long after Kelly licked Gabby’s pussy for the first time, the two girls introduced Pam to their fun and games. Gabby felt warm and tingly between her legs as she remembered how awesome it was, having sex with her big sister and Pam at the same time.

Then there was Aunt Jan, Mom’s sister. When the girls stayed with Jan for the weekend while Linda visited a spa, somehow Kelly had persuaded their aunt to join them in bed. They spent the rest of the weekend having sex.

Slipping a hand into her panties, Gabby began to touch herself, thinking about the things she’d done with her sister and her aunt. For one thing, Kelly taught her how to lick pussy, and Gabby got to make both Jan and Kelly come with her mouth. She felt a surge of pride, remembering it. Now I’m a lover for real.

As Gabby explored the interior of her moistening cunt with a finger, her thoughts drifted to the previous night, when Linda, her mom, touched her until she came. Then they kissed, with tongues and everything!

That was awesome, Gabby thought. Even better, Mom says we can do it again, only this time with Kelly!

As she pictured the three of them making love, Gabby reached a sudden, intense orgasm. She brought her finger to her nose, sniffed it, then slipped it into her mouth to suck clean. With a contented sigh, she pulled the sheet back up to her chin and settled in, soon falling asleep.

***

Later that afternoon, Kelly was standing next to her mother Linda at the fairground, where the Fourth of July celebration was in full swing. As Kelly munched the last of her cheesy fries, she couldn’t help but notice all the sexy girls in the vicinity. They all seemed to be similarly dressed, in short denim cut-offs and tank tops or snug t-shirts. That’s what Gabby and Pam were wearing. Kelly watched as the two friends wandered off together, holding hands.

This was the first time Kelly had been part of a large gathering since the accident – and it gave her an odd feeling, especially when accompanied by the sexual hunger that never seemed to leave her for very long. Whenever a girl looked at her, Kelly had to wonder if it was someone she knew.

At one point an especially cute teenage girl gave her a smile. What would she do if I went right up to her and gave her a kiss? Kelly wondered. Bet she’d like it. Mother would probably freak, though.

Glancing around at the other girls in their shorts, Kelly smiled. I’m glad I wore this nice blue and white sundress. It makes me seem a little different from all the other girls. Wonder what they would think if they knew I was totally naked underneath?

***

Pam and Gabby sat side by side in the shade of a large oak tree on the periphery of the fairground. Any passersby who happened to glance at the two nine-year-olds wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual. That is, unless they could hear what the girls were discussing.

“So… I had a sleepover with my sister last night.” said Pam.

Gabby shrugged. “Um, okay,” she replied, wondering why Pam had led her away from the crowd to chat.

“Remember how you wanted to see Ali naked? Well, I asked her about that.”

That got Gabby’s attention in a flash. “You did!? Omigosh, what did she say?”

“She said yeah, you totally can.”

Cool!” was Gabby’s immediate reply. She was poised to tell Pam all about what had happened at Aunt Jan’s house, how she’d not only had sex with Kelly, but also her aunt… and then with Mom, after they got back home. Then it occurred to her that she shouldn’t say anything about sex with her mom or Aunt Jan to Pam, not just yet. I better ask Mom if tha  t’s okay, she decided.

Pam continued. “Ali said we can have a sleepover with her tonight, after the fireworks are done. Want to?”

“Yeah, I’d love to!” Gabby answered, nodding eagerly. “Can Kelly come?”

“Oh, sure!” Pam affirmed, her eyes dancing with excitement.

Gabby could see that Pam was bursting with more news. She grinned, gently elbowing her friend. “What else? You’ve got more to say, I can tell!”

Taking a quick glance around to make sure no one could hear, Pam lowered her voice to a murmur. “Me and Ali fucked last night.”

It took a few seconds for Pam’s words to sink in, then Gabby gasped, “No way!”

Yes way,” Pam said, practically bouncing where she sat. “She licked my pussy, I licked hers… and all kinds of cool, sexy stuff. We did it, like, three times, and oh, Gabs, it was the best.”

Gabby’s mouth hung open a moment, her mind racing. “Does that mean when me and Kelly come over tonight… we’re all gonna have a big sex party?”

Pam smiled, slowly nodding. “Yep.”

Pumping a fist in the air, Gabby cried, “Yeah!”

***

Meanwhile, Pam’s mother Cheryl was hanging out with Linda, the two women sipping coffee they’d just purchased from a Brazilian food truck.

After some small talk, mostly about Linda’s time at the spa, Cheryl told her friend, “Pam and Ali are having a sleepover tonight, and they wanted to invite your girls to stay over.”

“Kelly too?” Linda asked. Okay, that’s odd. In all the time she and Cheryl had been neighbors, they’d never had a sleepover like that, one with all four of their daughters participating.

A low throb began to pulse between Linda’s thighs as the significance of this little ‘sleepover’ sank in. Bet there won’t be much sleeping going on tonight. And Ali’s going to be part of it, eh? Gabby didn’t mention her being part of their all-girl fuck club…

“Inviting Kelly was Ali’s idea, but Pam went right along with it. And hell, I figured you could use some time to yourself.”

“Yeah, I would be okay with some alone time,” Linda replied. “All that driving I did yesterday really took it out of me.” She smiled at her friend. “Thanks for offering to look after the girls for me, Cheryl. You’re a brave, brave soul. Four girls at a sleepover… you never know what kind of shenanigans they might get up to!”

“Nothing I can’t survive!” Cheryl said, then smiled to herself. Actually, I’m counting on the girls to get up to some VERY wicked shenanigans.

***

As dusk approached, both families waited together for the firework display. Linda and Cheryl chatted about this and that. Sixteen-year-old Ali rested a hand on her sister Pam’s shoulder. Standing behind the others, Kelly carefully reached out to fondle Gabby’s ass. The girl started – then relaxed, giving Kelly an adoring glance over her shoulder.

Gabby had breathlessly informed Kelly a few minutes earlier about the sleepover with Ali and Pam, so both girls were buzzing with anticipation for the fun and games to come.

As usual, a test firework was set off before the actual show began, and Kelly flinched when the big boom went off. No one seemed to notice but Linda, who was alarmed to see a look of horror on her daughter’s face.

“Come on girls,” Cheryl said, “Let’s find a good spot to watch from. The fireworks will be starting soon.”

As the others looked for an open place on the lawn, the first of the fireworks went off, exploding in a splash of bright blue across the evening sky. While the crowd oohed and aahed, Kelly seized her mother around the waist. She buried her face in Linda’s chest, sobbing in fear.

“What’s the matter, sweetie?” Linda murmured, holding her daughter close.

“I d-don’t like this, Mother,” Kelly whimpered. “Please, can we go now?”

“But… what about the sleepover at Cheryl’s?”

Kelly shook her head, now shivering from head to toe. “Please, let’s go. Please!”

Linda turned to Cheryl, “This is too much for Kelly. I’m going to take her home.”

“Oh, sure, go ahead,” Cheryl replied, her brow furrowed in concern. “Poor kid. You can leave Gabby with me – she can just come home with us afterwards. I’ll give her one of Pam’s nighties to sleep in.”

Hugging her big sister, Gabby said, “I’m sorry you feel bad, Kel. Maybe you can come join us later, okay?”

With quick goodbyes, Linda and Kelly took their leave, while Cheryl, her daughters and Gabby settled in to watch the fireworks.

Kelly’s fright was so intense that she raced ahead to the car. By the time Linda got there, her daughter was hunkered down on the side facing away from the fireworks, shaking harder now, both hands tightly clamped over her ears. When Linda unlocked the passenger door, Kelly scrambled inside, then covered her ears again. After a mile or two the sounds were out of range. Kelly managed to relax a bit, though she still seemed very unhappy.

Once Linda switched off the ignition and the garage door closed, Kelly exited the car without a word and trudged into the house. When Linda entered, she found her daughter slumped back on the sofa, looking miserable.

“It’s okay, Kelly,” Linda said, sitting next to her daughter.

“It’s not,” Kelly pouted, staring at her knees. “I acted like a great big baby in front of everyone.” She looked up at her mother. “Was I always that scared of fireworks?”

“No. You used to enjoy them.”

Kelly said nothing, just sighed heavily.

“Why don’t you lie down for a little while, sweetie?” said Linda. “Maybe take a nap. You’ll feel better.”

“I guess,” the eleven-year-old replied with a shrug.

Linda stood. “Come along… you can rest in my room,” she said, extending a hand to Kelly, who slowly rose to her feet.

Leading the girl upstairs, Linda told her, “Go wash up, honey. I’ll get you a pair of pajamas.”

Kelly went into the bathroom and washed her face. She was brushing her teeth when her mother returned, pajamas in hand. “Here you are,” Linda said, “Put these on when you’re done. I’ll be right back.”

When Linda came back a few minutes later, changed into sweatpants and a faded Neil Young t-shirt, Kelly was tucked up in bed in her yellow cotton pajamas. She still seemed glum.

Kneeling next to her daughter, Linda gave the girl a hug. “Don’t be unhappy, Kel. We’ve all got things we’re afraid of. Me, I’m scared of spiders, always have been.”

“It’s okay, Mother, ” Kelly sighed, “I’ve got a really bad headache, though. Can you turn the light off?”

“Oh, of course.” Linda got up and hit the switch, leaving the room lit from the hall. “I’ll get you a couple of aspirin.”

“Thanks,” Kelly replied.

Making her way to the kitchen, Linda had just taken the aspirin bottle from the cupboard when the phone rang. It was Gabby. “Hiya, Mom. We’re all back at Cheryl’s. So… is Kelly coming over?”

“No, honey. Kelly’s not feeling well. She’s going to stay home and get some rest.”

Gabby sighed. “Okay, I guess. Will you give her a hug for me, and tell her to get better soon?”

That made Linda smile. “Sure I will. Now, you be a good girl while you’re at Cheryl’s. Actually, can you put her on?”

“Sure.” Gabby said, then Linda heard her youngest call, “Hey, Cheryl. Mom wants to talk to you.” Then back into the phone, “Love you, Mom… goodnight!”

“Love you too, Gabby.” Linda said, but her daughter had already passed the phone along

“Hey, you,” Cheryl said. “Is Kelly okay?”

“She’s a little out of it. Those fireworks spooked her pretty bad, and now she’s got a nasty headache. A good night’s sleep should set her straight. By the way, thanks for letting Gabby stay over tonight.”

“No problem. Man, the girls are really wound up. Got a feeling they’ll be staying up late… and we’ll all be sleeping in. Is it okay if Gabby doesn’t make it back home in time for breakfast?”

“That’s fine. See you tomorrow. Goodnight, Cheryl.”

“Goodnight.”

Linda hung up, then went back upstairs with two aspirin and a glass of water, only to find that Kelly had managed to doze off. “How about that,” she murmured.

Setting the glass and aspirins on the nightstand, she undressed, got into an extra-large t-shirt and slipped into bed alongside her daughter. She gently took Kelly in her arms, then buried her nose in the girl’s sweet-smelling hair.

God, I want her, Linda told herself. And if what Gabby told me is true, Kelly feels exactly the same. It feels so strange to hold my child, knowing that I’ll soon be making love to her. 

She felt an urge to masturbate, but decided against it. Stay hungry, she thought.

Linda grappled with sexual fantasies of her daughters for a few minutes, then fell asleep.

***

Standing in Alicia’s doorway, Cheryl was looking in on her daughters and their friend. She had changed into a gauzy blue nightie, one that barely concealed her generous breasts, with a black thong underneath. The girls were all in t-shirts and panties, and Cheryl had to be careful not to let her eyes wander.

“Okay, girls,” she said, “you can stay up late as you like, but keep the noise down, because I’m going to bed. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight,” the three girls called out, and with a wink, Cheryl turned and left, closing the door behind her.

Wow, she’s sexy, Gabby mused. She’d never had thoughts like that about Pam’s mother before, but she sure was having them now! Wish Cheryl could stay and play with us. I’d totally love to see all of her.

Meanwhile, Ali was watching Gabby closely. Oh, yeah, she was totally checking out Mom’s ass. Fuck, that’s hot. She’ld resisted the urge to finger her pussy for the entire day, and was itching to take off her skimpy nightwear and get down and dirty with the younger girls. But I need to wait a few minutes, until Mom’s been gone long enough that Pam and Gabby think she’s really asleep. It was all part of the plan she and her mother had worked out earlier.

There were a few minutes of idle chat about this and that as the girls got settled in. It was all completely innocent, but Ali wasn’t fooled. Her younger sister and Gabby were fired up with excitement, anticipating the sexual games they would soon be playing.

With a glance at the clock, Alicia decided to get things going. Smiling at her sister’s little friend, she said, “So, Gabby… Pam told you about how we like to fool around, right?”

“Yeah,” Gabby replied. “It sounds like lots of fun.”

“Oh, it is,” Alicia said. “Pam also told me that you guys do stuff, too. I think that’s great. She said you want to see me naked; is that right?”

Gabby had butterflies in her tummy. She felt shy, but also thrilled – so much that when she spoke, her voice was higher than usual. “I… I think you’re beautiful, Ali. And yeah, I’d love to see you with nothing on.”

Ali reached out to caress the nine-year-old’s cheek. “Let’s make that happen, then.” She turned to saunter into the bathroom, glancing over her shoulder to add, “I’ll be right back,” before she closed the door.

Pam took Gabby’s hand. “Let’s sit here,” she said, leading her friend to the edge of Ali’s bed, where they sat side by side, their bodies touching.

“I… I love you, Gabby,” Pam murmured shyly. “You’ve been my best friend for, omigosh, ages… and now we get to be girlfriends, too.” Suddenly the girl was grinning, her eyes dancing with excitement. “Are you looking forward to doing sex with Ali? You are, right?”

“Oh, I am!” Gabby squealed. “I think Ali is way hot. I love you too, Pam… and I’m totally cool with being your girlfriend. But, um, we can still fuck our sisters, right?”

“Well, yeah… we’re gonna be fucking my sister in a minute, y’know.” Pam paused to study her friend. “Gotta say, you look way cute right now.” She paused, moistened her lips. “Can I kiss you?”

“Took you long enough!” Gabby replied, giggling as she reached for her friend.

When Ali returned a minute or so later, she was treated to the sight of the two nine-year-olds sharing deep tongue kisses.

While in the bathroom, the teen had quickly undressed and freshened herself up. Now she stood in the bedroom wearing a short white silk robe and nothing else. Watching the two preteen girls make out set Ali’s pulse to racing. Her nipples were swollen and lightly brushing against the fabric of the robe.

Advancing to the bed, Ali placed a hand on the shoulder of each girl. Pam and Gabby slowly drifted apart, as if waking from a blissful slumber.

Ali could feel warmth pulsing between her legs as she studied the flushed faces of the girls. Their mouths were wet from kissing, a dreamy cast to their eyes. They were short of breath, and Ali was fairly certain she could see a damp patch on the front of Pam’s underpants.

Gabby sat spellbound as Ali reached out to take her hand. The teen held it a moment, then guided it to her face, giving the young girl’s palm a long, slow lick.

“Oh, God,” Gabby whispered, a tiny shiver flickering through her boyish body.

Ali brought Gabby’s hand close to her belly, then wrapped the nine-year-old’s fingers around one end of the sash that held her robe closed. She smiled down at her sister’s little friend. “When you’re ready to see me, just pull this.”

A dazed Gabby stared in awe at the teen. She nearly pulled the sash right then, but paused to take a good look first. Feast my eyes – that’s what they say, huh? Well, I’m gonna do that right now. I want to remember this for the rest of my life. 

She began with a long look at Ali’s bare feet, taking in the bright pink polish that adorned her toenails, then allowed her gaze to travel up the older girl’s shapely legs. Ali’s robe hung just far enough above her knees to show off a generous portion of creamy thigh.

Now Gabby studied the shape of Ali’s body through the robe. The curvy hips, the breasts, the hint of erect nipples, the elegant line of Ali’s neck, her eyes and face, the long red hair spilling over the teen’s shoulders. She loved all of it.

Pam was watching this sexy scenario unfold, lightly pressing a hand against the front of her panties. By then, she was used to seeing Ali nude, yet it never failed to excite her.

Still clutching the sash, Gabby knew she was ready. She tightened her fingers, then slowly tugged, pulling an inch at a time until Ali’s robe fell open.

Gabby’s heart pounded at the sight. So sexy… yet at the same time, so beautiful that it made her want to cry. Ali’s nipples were still barely concealed, but Gabby had a tantalizing view of the teen’s breasts. She stared at the older girl’s firm tummy, the tiny cleft of her navel and, most exciting of all. a neatly trimmed triangle of curly auburn pubes framing juicy labia. Licking her lips, Gabby imagined how it would taste.

Shrugging out of the robe, Ali tossed it aside. Every move she made caused her breasts to sway slightly. They weren’t as big as they would be in a year or two, but to Gabby they were perfect, absolutely perfect.

“Holy cow, Ali,” Gabby finally managed to say, “You’re… you’re way hot. You could be in the movies.”

“Aww… aren’t you sweet,” Ali replied with a flirtatious grin.

In the meantime, Pam had removed her own t-shirt and panties. Now naked, she moved to stand next to her big sister. “What about me, Gabby… could I be in a movie? A sexy one?”

“Prob’ly not. You’re still just a kid like me, so whoever made that movie would get in BIG trouble. Tell you what, though – if you were in a sexy movie, I’d go see it for sure!” Much as she liked seeing a girl naked, seeing two at the same time was even better, especially if they were just about to have sex. Even more when it’s sisters who are gonna fuck, she told herself. Or a mom and her little girl. Not sure why that kind of thing makes me feel all warm and tingly inside… but oh, wow, it totally does!

Pam took a step toward her friend, “Okay, Gabs. Your turn to get naked. Here… let me help you!” She extended a hand and Gabby took it, rising to her feet.

Kneeling, Pam pulled the long t-shirt Gabby was wearing up high enough to grasp the waistband of her panties, then slid them down to the carpet. By then, Ali had stretched out on the bed and was gently caressing her slit as she watched her sister strip their guest.

Watching Ali play with herself, Gabby absently allowed Pam to finish removing her panties, helping her step out of them. The task completed, Pam quickly stood. She was holding the damp undies to her face and taking deep breaths. “Mmm, you smell great,” she sighed, then tossed them to her big sister.

“Thanks, sis,” Ali said – then covered her nose and mouth with the sodden panties just as Pam had, humming with pleasure as she continued to masturbate. Gabby was a little surprised to see anyone interested in smelling her underwear. She’d never thought of doing anything like that before, but had to admit it was an awesomely sexy sight.

“C’mon – raise your arms, already!” Pam demanded, tugging impatiently at Gabby’s top.

“Oh, sorry!” Gabby exclaimed. She thrust her arms up, and Pam pulled the faded Taylor Swift shirt off, then tossed it over the back of Ali’s desk chair. Now they were all nude.

Ali was plunging a finger in and out of her vagina, gazing hungrily at the two naked girls. “I want to see you guys make out,” she said.

The nine-year-olds turned to face one another. “Hey, you,” Pam said, flashing a naughty grin.

“Hey, you,” Gabby echoed. They met in a tender kiss that heated up considerably when Pam brought her tongue into play. Soon the girls were hugging tightly, cupping each other’s bare bottoms, their bodies grinding together.

“Ohhh… oh, yeah!” Ali gasped as she brought herself to a quick orgasm. Gabby and Pam broke their kiss to watch, exchanging gleeful looks as the teen rode her ecstasy to its peak, finally going limp with a blissful sigh.

Gabby was first to speak. “That was a good one, huh?”

“Sure was,” Alicia said without moving. “God, you two are soooo fucking hot together.” The girls giggled, and she patted the bed. “Come join me.”

Climbing on the bed, the girls stretched out on either side of Ali. She kissed them each in turn, reaching down to briefly tease the smooth clefts of their pussies, then lay back. “Want to suck my nipples?”

“Sure!” Pam chirped, immediately latching on to her big sister’s breast. Gabby followed her lead, circling the taut nipple with her tongue, the way Kelly liked it

Nice titties, Gabby decided, Like Aunt Jan’s, but I like Ali’s even better. Wish Mom had got undressed last night, then I could’ve done this to her, too. 

“Yeah, that’s it,” Ali moaned. “You can bite them a little bit – I love how that feels. Oh, fuck!” she blurted as the girls followed her instructions.

Ali was on fire, ready to ravish these adorable nymphets – especially Gabby. She’d been lusting after her sister’s little friend for ages. Bet she tastes yummy. First, though, there’s business to take care of.

She glanced at the clock on the nightstand. Oh, yeah, it’s time. Mom’s ready for us.

“Hey, you guys want to see something really awesome?” Ali asked.

Pam raised her head. “What’s that?” Gabby also looked up.

“How’d you like to see Mom finger her pussy?” Ali asked, hoping for the answer she and her mother Cheryl wanted to hear.

Both girls’ eyes widened in disbelief. “Really?” Pam gasped.

Fondling their bottoms, Ali explained. “Every night around this time, Mom gets naked and masturbates. I’ve watched her before. It’s one of the sexiest things you’ll ever see. She’s got a great body, but she’s a fucking knockout with all her clothes off!”

“Oh, yeah.” Gabby murmured. “Count me in!”

“But… we won’t get caught, right?” Pam wondered.

“Nope,” Ali answered, “Mom’s so caught up in it that the whole ceiling could collapse. and she wouldn’t miss a stroke. I’ve watched her lots of times. Don’t know why, but she never closes the door all the way, and I just peek through.” She pointed at her alarm clock. “It’s time now. We can go out in the hall, watch for a little bit, then come right back here and fuck each other silly. Want to?”

Both girls exchanged a brief glance, then nodded eagerly.

“Okay, then… let’s go!”

Moments later, the three girls slipped into the dark hallway, still naked, and crept through the darkness toward Cheryl’s bedroom.

On to Chapter Twelve!

 

Pages From a Diary, Chapter 21

  • Posted on September 27, 2024 at 3:20 pm

A brief summary of what has transpired thus far. (To get a more detailed breakdown of the earlier chapters, please see Pages From a Diary Chapter Links )

Eleven-year-old Mallory is a bright but lonely girl with strict fundamentalist Christian parents whose marriage is going through a rough patch. One day, Mal gets acquainted with a girl named Julie, who lives with her father Jason and his girlfriend Lisa. Soon, the girls become fast friends, and before very long, more than friends. Mallory has a difficult time reconciling her emerging sexuality with her faith, but soon finds her desire for Julie and her interest in sex getting the upper hand, especially once she learns to masturbate.

Meanwhile, her parents’ relationship is really starting to founder. By then, Mallory and Julie are beginning to experiment sexually, but don’t really know what they’re doing. Julie’s dad’s girlfriend Lisa finds out about their curiosity and offers advice, then the girls persuade her to undress and join them in bed. Mal and Julie have full-on sex for the first time, then Lisa gets involved. 

Soon thereafter, Mallory and Julie are confronted by a fifteen-year-old girl from their school named Megan, who tells them she recognizes their feelings for each other, admits to being gay herself, and invites them to drop by her place a few days later. Megan only wants to hang out and chat, but Mallory casually takes charge of the situation, and soon the three of them are naked and having sex.

Mallory’s mother Sharon is spending more and more nights away from the home, supposedly staying with her own mother. So she isn’t there when Mal’s father Dan collapses and nearly dies from alcohol poisoning. Only Mallory’s quick thinking and immediate response saves his life. Once Dan is taken to the hospital, Mal learns that her mom isn’t really at Grandma’s house, but out with another man.

Not long after her father is released from the hospital, Mallory is taken out on a shopping trip by her mother. During the lengthy drive, Sharon explains her side of the story, treating her daughter more like an adult than she ever has before. Mal finds herself feeling sympathetic… but then she’s startled to catch herself having sexual thoughts about her mother, and gets flustered and confused. Those thoughts won’t go away, either.

A few days later, Mallory gets an inspired notion: since their friend Megan has guessed that the girls are fucking Lisa, why not invite her over to make their threesome a quartet? The others agree, and much fun is had.

In the meantime, Mal’s mother Sharon gets a job at a senior center, and she is making plans to go back to school. Needless to say, Mal’s father is most unhappy with this development. On the other hand, Mallory is quite pleased for her mom, and takes the opportunity to get in her lap and give her playful, but subtly flirtatious kisses. Sharon soon excuses herself to take a bath, but Mal feels certain that she’s also masturbating. More then ever, Mal suspects that her mother is secretly gay.

Mal is gradually becoming more popular at school. One result is that she and Julie are invited to a sleepover with Emma and Cindy, a couple of Julie’s friends. Once the parents are asleep, the girls get into a discussion concerning masturbation, which leads to everyone getting naked and engaging in mutual touching. Emma and Cindy love it, and the four of them get together for more fun a couple of weeks later.

Mallory finds a new student project: playing keyboards in a rock band of high school students supervised by Jason, who has also been teaching his daughter Julie how to do mixing work. Mal is much younger than the other members, but her skills soon win the others over. One of the band members is a sweet hippie girl named Jamie, and Mal is immediately attracted to her.

A couple of unhappy developments occur. First, Mallory’s parents make it official: they are to divorce. Mal is utterly disgusted with them both. Second, two of Julie’s cousins, eleven-year-old twin girls named Anna and Nettie, have vanished without explanation. A search is underway, but the twins have yet to be found. Mallory has never met these girls, but she prays as best she can for their safe return.

And now we rejoin our story, which is currently in progress. Do enjoy!

Julie’s cousins are still missing.

The last time I wrote, I had what I guess you’d call an incomplete picture of the situation. On one side there was Julie sobbing on the phone, and on the other there was the TV news, which was turned down so I could give Julie most of my attention. I’ve picked up more of the details since then, some from Julie, some from the news.

The boy who was babysitting the girls is their seventeen-year-old cousin, and he’s the main suspect. Mostly because he’s a boy, I bet. If it was a girl, they’d figure she’d been kidnapped, too. But it wasn’t the first time he’d watched them, and he’s also missing. None of the people he hangs out with has any idea where he is. Julie doesn’t know him well, and has no opinion.

Also, Antoinette (who everyone calls Nettie) was sick. Like, sick enough to be stuck in bed. She’d been to an urgent care clinic the day before she was taken, and the doctors who saw her are worried that if she’s not getting the medicine they prescribed, she could get sicker. Maybe even die.

Julie showed me pictures of the girls. They’re twins, but not identical. Annamarie (who usually just goes by Anna), is pretty normal height for her age and has brown hair. Nettie is tall with thick black hair and honestly looks so much like Julie it’s a little spooky. Julie has a picture of the sisters standing side-by-side, and Nettie is half a head taller than Anna.

I guess you could say that I’m dealing with this secondhand. I mean, I don’t know either of the girls. But I know someone who knows them. The thing is, you never think terrible things like that are going to come this close to you until they do. I hope that makes sense. And now that it’s happened, what blows my mind is the way life just kinda keeps going on.

Julie and I went to school the next day. She didn’t want to, but Lisa told her it would be better than pacing around the house for hours waiting for news. Everyone had heard about what happened and somehow it got out that the missing girls were related to Julie, so most people were extra nice to her. Other than that, it was a normal first day back from Christmas vacation.

Actually, there was one other thing that happened. We had recess in the gym because it’s like twenty below outside, and there was this boy sitting to the side with his buddies, telling a story about a man in a black mask who snatches little girls from their homes, then kills and eats them. He was telling it in a really dramatic, spooky voice. When Julie overheard she stopped in her tracks, went pale, then marched right up to the boy and kicked him in the shin. Normally she would have got detention for that, but the teacher just led her away, tears streaming down her cheeks.

We went to A.L. on Wednesday. That was submission day for the art projects that were going to the competition, and I had my tree mushrooms in a box, wrapped up in heavy towels. I’m glad to be done with the project, to be honest. I love doing art, but right now I really want to focus on my music.

By that time Julie was getting back to her old self. She’s still worried about her cousins, but I don’t think you can stay panicked forever. Today we had a pretty normal bus ride there and back, reading to each other from our books and discussing our projects.

Jason came home yesterday. He was part of a large-scale search of the forests when he first got to Bronning, and had the scratches on his hands to prove it. After the search was called off, there wasn’t really much for him to do. His sister and her husband, he said, pretty much ordered him to go home and get some rest. So he told them to call if they needed any little thing, and drove home.

I was glad to see him, partly because it did Julie a world of good to have her dad back, and partly because yesterday evening was the first rehearsal for our student band. The other bands had their rehearsals earlier in the week, with Mr. Benson from the school filling in for Jason.

The rehearsal was a lot of fun. Everyone did what they were supposed to and got the songs learned. “Heat of the Moment” (by the way, I found out you’re supposed to put song titles in quotation marks) went almost perfect on the first try… or at least we thought so. We were feeling all smug, and then Jason told us we needed backing vocals.

“I’m not bothering with it for most of the bands,” he said, “but you guys are too advanced to half-ass it.”

So we spent about twenty minutes figuring out who was going to sing what harmony parts. Nobody told me I’d have to sing! But we got it sorted out, and hopefully we’re gonna have the vocals down by next week.

Toxic was harder, because there’s so many breaks, and we weren’t always in sync coming back in. But we finally got it. “Destruction Preventer” is where we really hit a wall, and that’s because Katie isn’t very experienced with the double kick drum technique and kept getting all tangled up. Everyone was nice about it and said we could just pick a different song, but Katie said no. When she said it her eyes were narrow and she looked a little angry. It surprised me; I had her pegged as the ultimate shrinking violet. She promised she would get it, and she said it with such intensity that we all believed her. I found myself liking her more.

We didn’t get time to work on the songwriting part of it, but Jason didn’t seem worried. He said we’d got most of the snags in the cover songs figured out, so that would give us lots of time to work on writing a song in the next rehearsal.

Jamie gave everyone hugs again before we left. That’s what she does; gives hugs and calls everyone brother or sister. Not that I mind; my face smushes right into her tits when she hugs me! There’s kind of a sweet, smoky aroma about her. It’s something I’ve smelled before, but I can’t quite place it.

In other news, I’m spending half my time at Grandma’s house, because that’s where Mom is until the new apartment is ready, and half at home. I think that’s really good for Mom, cause Grandma isn’t very religious. In fact, she thinks our church is totally out to lunch. When she was at Jason’s house on Halloween, I overheard her telling Lisa that Dickson Evangelical worships in a way that’s halfway between holy rolling and snake handling, and I think I kind of get what she means.

 

January 16th, 2007

Julie’s cousins have been found. That sounds like good news, right? They also arrested the guy who took them, and when they did that, they put a stop to an interstate killing spree that’s been going on for over a decade. Great news, huh?

Except that it isn’t, not really. Annamarie is dead. She was beaten, and this horrible, evil creep made Nettie watch. She’d have been next, if they hadn’t caught the guy when they did. The boy who was babysitting them is dead, too. The creep killed him right in front of both girls the day he kidnapped them.

To make matters worse, Nettie is still sick. She’s got pneumonia, and is in the hospital. God. I’m glad they found her while she still has a chance, and I’m also glad they caught that… that FUCKER who’s been torturing and killing young girls for at least ten years. He’s done it twelve times that they know of, and now he’ll never hurt anyone ever again. But it sure isn’t the happy ending we were hoping for, is it? This sucks so bad. I never even met those girls, and I’m crying for them.

Anyway, Jason is on his way up north again, and this time he’s taking the whole family. There’s going to be a funeral, and he figures his relatives up there are going to need lots of help dealing with everything. Because of all this, Jason and Lisa are pushing their wedding back a few months. That means they won’t get to have a honeymoon until Jason is done with school, but as Lisa said, some things are just more important.

***

Had to dash downstairs just now to get the phone, cause Dad can’t hear it when he’s in his shop. The call was for me, anyhow. It was Jamie, from the band. Jason called to tell her we can get together as scheduled on Thursday and rehearse if we want to, and she should act as bandleader if we do. I told her I’d be there if everyone else was coming.

I’m thinking about the word perspective. That’s what a situation like this does; puts things in perspective. All the stuff I worry about, all the times I get upset… it just seems so petty when something like this happens. I mean, so what if my parents are separated? I’m alive and I’m safe. Julie’s alive and safe. We get to sleep in warm beds and eat good food and have parents who love us, even if they’re messed up in some ways.

My new mission in life is to complain less, and be thankful more.

 

January 18th, 2007

Just got home from rehearsal. More on that in a few.

Julie called me from Bronning right after school. The good news is Nettie Hastings is getting better. They gave her antibiotics in the hospital, and they’re working. The bad news is she’s really messed up emotionally. She won’t eat, she barely talks, and when she does talk, nothing she says makes sense. Everybody is worried about her.

Julie says there’s some serious bad vibes flying around between her aunt and uncle. Almost like they’re blaming each other for what happened. I read somewhere once that marriages often split up after the death of a child, but in this case, it seems completely nuts to me. Unless there’s stuff going on here that I don’t know about, I don’t see how it could be his fault or hers.

God, I don’t want to think about this anymore! It makes me angry, and it makes me cry. I miss Julie, and I’m really worried about her. She’s so sensitive to people’s emotions, and it sounds like she’s getting a heavy dose of unhappiness and sorrow. I’m not good with words, so trying to comfort her over the phone isn’t much good. I wish I could hold her in my arms for a few minutes.

***

The rehearsal was good. We’d learned our harmony parts for the backing vocals, and surprise, surprise, it came together really nice. When he spoke to Jamie on the phone, Jason suggested that we just gather around the keyboard and work on the vocal harmonies by themselves, so we tried that. It sounded great!

We’ve got three of the songs absolutely nailed, but “Destruction Preventer” still has problems. Katie isn’t tripping over herself trying to play it anymore, but once she’s been doing that double kick thing for awhile the tempo starts to drag. But it’s massively better than last week, and I don’t think anyone is worried. She’ll get it.

We still haven’t started writing the original song yet. I think we would have if Jason was here, but everyone is scared to jump into it without him to guide us. We spent the last ten minutes of practice just jamming on a blues thing.

When it was over, we struggled into our coats in the lobby of the old fire hall, where the rehearsals are being held. I was pulling up my hood when Jamie tapped me on the shoulder. “Hey, little sister… you want to get together sometime and work on a few of those instrumental harmony parts, just the two of us?”

I looked up into her hazel eyes, and imagined the two of us screaming in harmony when we came together.

“I’d love that,” I said. “Give me a call sometime.” She took me in her arms again, and when I hugged her back I made a point of running my finger down her spine. I thought I felt her shiver, just a little.

Maybe I shouldn’t have written about that, because now my imagination is running absolutely wild thinking about getting naked with Jamie. My pussy is throbbing like crazy, and my left hand is already down there.

No point in writing anymore… it won’t be legible.

 

January 20th, 2007

I’ve been working towards coming out to my mom for awhile now, but I sure didn’t expect to come out to Grandma at the same time.

Here’s how it happened. We were sitting on the couch this afternoon at Grandma’s house, and Mom was gushing about her classes. She’s been a student for about two weeks now, and loving every minute of it. She bought a laptop (it’s a course requirement) and she was showing us some of the software she uses to do her work.

If I’m being honest, I was pretty heavy into smile and nod mode, and I think Grandma was too. We’re both happy Mom is doing this, and that she’s so enthusiastic, but she’d been going on about it forever. It’s not like we had any idea what she was talking about, anyway.

Finally she closed the laptop and started talking about the people she goes to school with. That was better; at least it’s something Grandma and I could kind of relate to. She was talking about a woman named Katerina, who already knows a lot of the material and is helping other students.

“She’s nice,” Mom said, “and she really helped me get hold of some concepts I was struggling with. I just wish I didn’t know what I do about… well, her lifestyle.”

Grandma cocked her head. “Meaning?”

“Meaning she’s – um, maybe I shouldn’t talk about this with Mallory in the room.”

I rolled my eyes. “I’m not a little kid anymore, Mom.” I had a pretty good idea what this was about, and was starting to get kinda steamed.

Mom shifted uneasily in her chair. “Well, she’s… she has a partner, and it’s not a man.”

“So she’s a lesbian,” I said, struggling to keep my cool.

“Yes! I was surprised. She’s so nice, and helpful, and she seemed so normal…”

Normal. That’s the word that set me off. “So what?” I snapped. “You think lesbians are going to be bug-eyed freaks with horns sticking out of their heads or something? They’re just people, Mom.”

Mom’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t think I like your tone, young lady.”

I folded my arms, glaring. “Maybe I don’t like yours.”

Mom was just running away from feelings she couldn’t deal with. I know that now, and I feel terrible about the way things played out. But I couldn’t think straight right then. I was angry with Mom, but more than that… I was disappointed in her. Big time. I’m nearly positive that she’s secretly gay, so why, why, WHY did she have to say stupid crap like that? All I could think was how unfair she was being, and that just got me madder.

“Okay, girls, take it easy,” Grandma said in a soothing voice. “I think we can agree that lesbians can still be nice, helpful people, right?” She folded her hands on her lap and fixed her eyes on Mom, who looked away. “Why does it matter to you who she’s sleeping with, Sharon? Isn’t it enough that she’s helping you?”

“She’d rather put on her judgey face,” I huffed. “Katerina could dedicate her life to helping homeless people, and it wouldn’t matter because she’s gay.” I knew that I was overreacting, but couldn’t stop myself from blurting out, “Are you going to judge me too, Mom?”

Both my mother and grandmother were staring at me now, Grandma with a look of understanding, Mom with an expression that was something like horror.

“What – what do you mean?” Mom whispered, suddenly gone pale.

I looked at Grandma. “She’s acting all shocked,” I said, then turned back to my mother. “Remember what we talked about in the car that day, Mom? You already know I masturbate. Did you…”

“MALLORY!” Mom practically screamed. “Not in front of your grandmother. What has gotten…”

“I’m familiar with the practice, thank you,” Grandma broke in dryly.

“Did you ever stop to wonder what I think about while I’m doing it, Mom?” I spat out. “I have sex fantasies, same as you do. And guess what: they’re all about girls. Does that make me a bad person, like Katerina? Does it, Mom!?”

“STOP IT!” Mom cried, clapping both hands over her ears.

I’d spent weeks thinking about how I was going to broach this topic. I sure hadn’t imagined it would happen like this, with me getting mad because Mom was judging a perfectly nice person because she was gay. This wasn’t what I’d wanted at all.

Desperate to find a way out, I looked to Grandma. She was just sitting there with her hands folded in her lap, utterly composed, with a look of… was she smiling at me?

Tears were coursing down Mom’s cheeks, and suddenly the anger whooshed out of me. In its place was a sick sort of horror, way down in the pit of my stomach.

“I think that’s enough, Mallory,” Grandma said, speaking gently.

I knew she was right. I got out of my seat, crossed to Mom’s chair, and nestled myself into her lap. I put my arms around her, but she didn’t hug me back. Her body was stiff as a board.

“Mom?” I said, almost crying myself. “Please don’t be mad. I love you.” Finally she wrapped her arms around me and buried her face in my hair, sobbing her heart out.

“Mallory,” she moaned, “Mallory, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry…”

“Me, too, Mom,” I mumbled into her sweater, ashamed of myself.

We sat there for a long time. Grandma said nothing; just watched us from her rocker. After awhile she got up, taking the cordless phone into another room. She came out a few minutes later and replaced the phone in its cradle. Mom was still holding me, rocking back and forth a little, still sniffling.

“I just called your friend Emma’s mom, Mallory,” she said to me. “I’m thinking it’d be good for you to go spend some time with her while your mom and I talk. Sound good?”

It did sound good. I couldn’t help but feel guilty about the whole ugly scene, and needed something to take my mind off of it.

So Grandma drove me to Emma’s house, where we hung out for the rest of the afternoon. That was really nice. I think Emma sensed that something was wrong, but she didn’t ask me any questions, which I appreciated a lot. I wasn’t ready to talk about what happened just yet, not even to Julie.

Later, Mom picked me up, and we went back to Grandma’s house in time for supper. We didn’t really say much, but she greeted me with, “Hi, honey,” and kissed my cheek, so at least I knew we were okay again.

And when Mom tucked me in about half an hour ago, on the davenport in Grandma’s den (that’s where I’ve been sleeping while I’m here), she held me in her arms for a little longer than I expected.

“I won’t judge you, Mallory,” she said with tears in her voice. “I guess people can’t really help who they’re attracted to.” She sighed. “Sometimes in life, we find ourselves craving things. Things we’re told we shouldn’t want. Then you carry that need around, hiding it from everyone.” A long pause. “Mallory, what you did today took real courage. That’s what your grandmother thinks… and so do I.”

My ears perked up at that. I sensed a confession there, buried just beneath the surface. I was dying to know what she and Grandma had talked about.

Mom was still talking. “It’s just that I was brought up to believe that two women together like that is a sin,” she went on, “and I guess there’s still a part of me that believes it. You know what the Bible says, and we are still Christians…”

I gathered my courage. I’d hinted at this with her before, but it was time to say it directly. “I’m not a Christian, Mom. Not anymore. If there’s a God that makes me feel this way, and then tells me I’m evil because of it, it’s not a God I want to know. You go on believing whatever works for you, but you’ll have to count me out. I’m sorry.”

Mom squeezed me more tightly now, her chest heaving. I couldn’t see her face in the dark, but I knew she was crying again.

Finally she kissed me and slowly got to her feet. “Goodnight, sweetheart,” she said, and left.

 

January 21st, 2007

It’s Sunday night, and I’m at Julie’s house. Mom has to get up really early to get to class in Wadena tomorrow morning, and Dad… oh, I don’t even remember what his excuse was. Since Mom left, he’s completely checked out. I have an idea he’s drinking again.

Annamarie’s funeral was yesterday, then Julie and Lisa came back home this morning. Jason is staying up north for a few more days; I’m not sure exactly why. I came over after church, and am spending the night. Julie was exhausted when I got here, and I don’t just mean tired. I’ve never seen Julie with so little zest in her. Lisa wasn’t looking much better.

We spent the afternoon sitting around and talking. Actually, I did more listening than talking while Lisa and Julie unloaded about the week they’d spent in Bronning. Well, in the area of Bronning, at least. See, the original plan was for them to stay at Jason’s sister’s house, but the bad vibes there were so thick that it didn’t even last the first day. Jason put Julie and Lisa up in the closest hotel, which is about twenty miles away.

There’s still a lot of confusion about how the girls were taken, because Nettie Hastings won’t talk about it. At all. When anyone asks, she just clams up and starts shaking. They got her pneumonia taken care of, so she was released from the hospital on Thursday, but it sounds like she’s still really messed up.

Someone got the bright idea that it might help if she had her cousin there to hang out with, so Julie found herself in the bedroom Nettie used to share with her sister, surrounded by Barbie dolls and stuffed animals and all the other stuff girls our age have in our rooms. Nettie would pick up dolls or whatever else and go through the motions of playing the imaginative games Julie was trying to lead her through, but she never started anything herself, and mostly responded to Julie in one-word sentences. They tried this twice, with no improvement. Then on the morning of the funeral Nettie woke with fluid in her lungs, and got shuttled back to the hospital.

The funeral itself was a bad scene, to hear Lisa describe it. The dead girl’s parents were fresh back from getting Nettie settled in at the hospital, and they got into a shouting match in the lobby when Mrs. Hastings made a nasty comment to her husband about what happens when he let his no-good nephew watch their daughters. Mr. Hastings fired back that she’d been just fine with his nephew when it meant she got to eat lobster and clams at the club instead of looking after Nettie when she was sick and… yeah.

“There’s no sense to it,” Lisa said, her voice flat and lifeless. “It’s not his fault or hers. I think part of it is they both blame themselves, and are projecting it onto each other. Maybe they already had some marital problems before, and this is just aggravating old grudges… who knows? What I do know is that neither of them is going to be any use at all to Nettie right now, and she really needs a lot of help.”

The room fell silent for a moment, then Julie asked me if anything exciting had happened while they were away. I gave them a fast rundown on how the week had gone, doing my best to keep it light and positive-sounding. So I had to leave out the part about telling Mom I was gay, and how badly I’d messed it up… but I wasn’t ready to talk about that anyhow. Not even to Julie.

When I told them about my post-rehearsal conversation with Jamie, they perked up a little.

“That sounds like a positive development!” Lisa said with a giggle.

“You should have said something like ‘how about right now’,” Julie added.

“Oh, I thought about it,” I replied. “I went from zero to wet, like, lickety-split! I’ll bet everyone in the lobby was wondering where the smell of pussy was coming from. But I made you a promise. I’m gonna keep it.” She smiled and kissed my cheek.

I ended up making dinner. Nothing fancy, just spaghetti, but I couldn’t even have done that much a few months ago. The sauce was from a jar, but I added pulled pork, diced up some chili peppers, sauteed onions with mushrooms, and spent some time getting the seasonings just right. This is all stuff I learned from Julie. After dinner, we watched a movie.

Julie and Lisa were pretty wiped out after the drive, then the big meal, and they were pretty much collapsed by the time the movie was over. So I shoveled Julie into bed around seven, and Lisa turned in just a few minutes after. It’s around nine thirty, and I just spent a couple of hours practicing piano on Jason’s super-cool synthesizer.

It’s pretty weird to be at Julie’s house and basically have the place to myself. Aside from that, it just occurred to me that it’s the first time I’ve been here with no Jason, and we haven’t done anything sexy. I actually think that’s good. It’s nice to see that just being together is fun, even without anything kinky going on. Maybe that’s what love really is: you really want to fuck somebody, but you enjoy their company even when you’re not horny.

And with that Profound Thought from your Amazing Fount of Wisdom, Mallory Kalvornek, it’s time for bed.

 

January 26th, 2007

I’m spending the weekend at Julie’s house. It’s supposed to be my weekend with Dad, but he’s at some convention in Iowa having to do with fertilizer or pesticides or some other chemical thing. Jason came home late on Tuesday, but he’s driving back up to Bronning tomorrow morning. He’ll be back on Sunday, and he won’t be alone. I’ll get to that later on.

We wrote a song yesterday in rehearsal! I mean, we did the whole thing in one shot. There are some rough edges to knock off, but it’s mostly done. We’d burned through our three cover songs, no sweat; even “Destruction Preventer” went pretty good. Katie is still dragging a little on that one, but I think she’ll have it in a week or two.

Then Jason asked Jamie and I if we had any riffs. I’ve only recently learned what a riff even is, but I had come up with a couple of things. I was nervous about showing them off, so I said we should hear what Jamie had first.

We ended up using the first thing she played for us. She said it was something she’d written for one of Jason’s guitar lesson assignments. It was a super-catchy riff, and I instantly realized I could harmonize my keyboard with her guitar on the turnaround. I didn’t say anything, just did it when the part came around again. Jamie’s face split into a wide grin.

We just sat around and jammed on the riff for awhile, then Roger got an idea to alter it slightly for the verse. It was Katie’s idea to make the first half of the verse just guitar and kick drum, with the whole band coming in on the second half. She’s not at all like I thought when we met. I think she’s just the kind of person who hides in her shell until she gets to know you a little.

While all this was going on, Ralph was humming a tune into the microphone. After we’d played it a few times, Katie caught Ralph’s attention. “Is that the melody you want to sing?” she asked, sounding nervous.

“Sure, why not?” said Ralph.

“Hang on a minute,” said Katie. She snatched up a pen and started scribbling in her rehearsal notebook. When she finished, she held it out to Ralph with trembling hands. “I… I don’t know if this is any good,” she said. “But… um… I kind of have an idea for words to go with that tune. If it works, the song could be called “Ear in the Wall.” If it stinks… well… just tell me. I won’t be mad.”

As it turned out, it didn’t stink. At all. Katie’s lyrics were actually really cool. When Ralph sang them to the melody he’d come up with, we instantly knew we had something.

We struggled a little coming up with a chorus, and then it occurred to me that a regular chorus wouldn’t fit this song.

“We should break it down instead,” I said. I outlined the chord changes I had in mind on the keyboard, and Jamie broke into a wide grin.

“Little sister!” she said.

We ended up doing it that way, with Jamie playing those chords on her guitar and most of the band sitting out. While we were going through it I played a little melody that popped into my head, and Ralph ended up using it for his vocal line. Right then and there, Katie came up with some more lyrics to go with it.

We used one of the riffs I’d written for the bridge, and after the guitar solo we repeated that progression with Jamie and me harmonizing on a melody she came up with on the spot.

Jason just sat back and watched, saying nothing at all until we got through our first semi-successful runthrough of the whole thing. Then he stood up and clapped.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “never once, in all my years directing student ensembles, has a group of students written a song with zero input from me. And it’s fucking good, if you’ll pardon my French. It’s good enough to record.”

God, it felt great. Tossing those ideas back and forth and turning it all into a real piece of music was a tremendous high. I’m really starting to think that music is my thing. Maybe after this school year I’ll lay off the art classes so I can spend more time on it.

After rehearsal, Jamie and I made plans to get together tomorrow at her house to jam. She has the place to herself most of Saturday afternoon, and says she has all the equipment we need. I asked her if Julie could come along with me to listen in, and Jamie agreed.

I don’t know if we can make something happen with Jamie or not, but my gut says yes. I’ve learned to trust it.

Mom and I haven’t talked at all about what came up at Grandma’s house, not since that night. I feel like we need to, but it should wait until she and I have some alone time together. Right now, Mom’s really busy with school stuff, plus she’s moving into her new apartment next week.

Today after school, when we got to Julie’s house, Jason was on the cordless. He gave us a wave and a quick smile, then went upstairs with the phone.

He didn’t return for over an hour. Julie, Lisa, and I were hanging out in the living room when Jason came down the stairs. Lisa was saying something to us, and broke off in mid-sentence. “How bad is it?” she asked.

“It ain’t good,” he said. He rummaged in the wooden cabinet above the fireplace mantle, took out a bottle and poured himself a drink. Then he sank heavily into his recliner. “We need to talk.”

Julie cleared her throat. “Um, do me and Mal need to do the disappearing girl trick?”

Jason rubbed his chin. “No, you need to be here for this. Mal might as well stick around, too. She’s here often enough.”

Lisa looked a little afraid. “Jason, what is it?” Her eyes said she had a pretty good idea already.

“My sister just went inpatient,” he said. “She’ll be institutionalized for who the hell knows how long. Total mental break.”

I’d never heard of a mental break. I guessed it meant you went completely loopy.

“Oh, God,” said Lisa. “So what happens to Nettie?”

“It gets better,” Jason went on. “My bro-in-law was transported to the hospital Tuesday evening for alcohol poisoning, and just this morning he overdosed on trycyclics. Would have killed him, too, if someone had found him just ten minutes later. Nettie’s with her grandma on Darrell’s side for the moment, but that lady is simply too old and feeble to take care of her. The situation has a shelf life of days, at best.”

Lisa nodded slowly. “You’re thinking we could bring her here.”

“If it was just me, I’d already be on my way to get her,” said Jason. “It’s that or foster care. Oh, I suppose my mom would probably be willing to take her, but let’s be honest. I love my old man, but I can’t say I’m crazy about the notion of an emotionally fragile child living with him. I think even Mom would have to admit that it’s a bad idea.”

He blew out his breath. “But it’s likely to be damn hard. Nettie’s going to need a lot of care and attention. She’s already waking up with night terrors, and the shrinks think that’ll get worse before it gets better. She might act out in ways that could be really unpleasant. And depending on how well her parents do, this could be a long-term situation.”

“If you think we can handle it, then so do I,” said Lisa.

“Don’t forget that I’m going to be persona non grata for a big chunk of the next year, if we go through with our plans,” said Jason. “Medic school is going to take up a lot of my time, especially once clinicals get rolling. And you’re pregnant. Radical reduction in energy reserves in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” He paused, took a sip from his glass. “Maybe it would be best for me to just push back school for a year if we’re doing this.”

Lisa was shaking her head vigorously. “No way,” she said. “I’m willing to have her here, and I still think you should go to school. We can make it work. But we need to hear what Julie thinks.”

Julie opened her mouth to speak, but Jason beat her to it. “Julie,” he said, “there are no wrong answers. You can veto this, and no one will think less of you. It won’t be your job to take care of her, but having her here isn’t going to be easy, and you’re my first priority… you have to be. Tell us what’s really on your mind, not what you think we want to hear.”

Julie shifted uneasily. “It’ll be hard,” she said, “but if we can help her, I think we should do it. It might be good for her to have me and Mal around, you know? We’re close to her age.”

Jason looked to me. “You’re not exactly part of the decision, Mallory,” he said, “but I’d like to hear what you think.”

Julie and I exchanged a look, and I could see my thoughts reflected in her eyes. It was going to make our private activities a lot harder to maintain. But what did that matter in the face of a real crisis? If this was handled right, Nettie Hastings might be able to find herself again and rejoin the land of the living. If it wasn’t, she might never recover.

I blinked, surprised at the turn my thoughts had taken. I recognized it as a terribly adult way to think, mostly logic and not much emotion. Counting the cost. It struck me that a time is coming, maybe not too far away, when I’ll think like that almost all the time. It was a little depressing.

“I think she needs a family,” I said slowly. “And I think… I think she’s not gonna get it from her parents right now. I have that problem sometimes, and…” I paused, not sure how to complete my thought. “I guess what I’m trying to say is that this is a great place to be for someone who needs a family, and I would know.”

“Oh, sweetie,” said Lisa.

“You’ve all helped me a lot,” I said. “I’ll bet you can help her, too. And maybe I can even help you help her. I mean, I’d like to try.”

Jason was leaning back in his chair, sipping his drink.

“There’ll be some things to sort out,” he finally said. “We have to get legal power of attorney for her medical care and stuff like that, but the people I was just talking to say that we can sort that out within twenty-four hours. We can probably even apply for and get foster status, and then the state will give us money for her care. I don’t really give a damn about that, but I won’t turn it down, either. And it can happen fast. Even going into the weekend, the social services people will expedite in situations like this, where time is of the essence. The lady I just spoke to said all I have to do is call her back, and she’ll meet me in Bronning tomorrow at a time of my choosing with papers ready to sign.”

“Sounds nice and easy, then,” said Lisa.

“But the rest of it sure won’t be,” said Jason. “So I just want to lay it out there one more time. If anyone knows of any reason we shouldn’t do this, speak now. I should point out that it’s not irrevocable. if she ends up being too much for us to handle, they can still place her somewhere.”

“I think you should bring her here, and we don’t even talk about sending her anywhere else,” said Julie.

Lisa was nodding. “Go get her, Jason,” she said.

On to Chapter Twenty-Two!

 

The Loves and Labours of Doris Sloane, Chapter 7

  • Posted on September 22, 2024 at 6:57 am

 

A brief summary of what has transpired thus far. (To get a breakdown of the earlier chapters, please see Chapter Links for descriptions)

Orphaned at the age of eight, sixteen-year-old Doris Sloane has spent half her life in a Catholic orphanage, where she was trained to care for young children. Our story begins when she is taken into service at the home of Victoria Shaw, a widow with three daughters: Melinda (ten), Sophia (eleven) and Becky (fourteen). Doris is thoroughly satisfied with this new life, but her orderly world takes an odd turn one night when she is seduced by Mrs. Shaw. Surprising herself, Doris responds eagerly, fully returning the pleasure she has been given.

In the days that follow, Doris and Victoria couple frequently, and Doris becomes skilled in the art of lesbian lovemaking under the tutelage of her mistress. She is deliriously happy, but her joy is tainted by the fact that she is only engaged to serve in the Shaw household until Melinda, the youngest, turns twelve. To complicate things even further, Doris has fallen madly, passionately in love with Victoria, and lacks the courage to tell her so.

One of Doris’ duties as nanny is to give Melinda and Sophia a bath every other day. The girls often invite Doris to join them in the large Japanese-style tub, but she always refuses, believing it isn’t proper. When she mentions this to Mrs. Shaw after a bout of lovemaking, Victoria suggests that Doris do what her youngest daughters want: get naked and bathe with them. Furthermore, she encourages Doris to pay closer attention to the girls’ nudity, to notice how beautiful they are in the altogether.

Doris finds this a bit strange… but that evening, while giving Sophia and Melinda their bath, she takes the time to study them more closely, and is startled to find herself feeling somewhat aroused.  The girls notice her interest, and on subsequent evenings, eleven-year-old Sophia begins to tease Doris by flaunting her nakedness. This only fuels this budding desire Doris feels… and very soon, she is masturbating to lewd fantasies of Victoria’s daughters.

One afternoon around this time, while the girls are at school, Doris in asked to join Victoria for a light luncheon in the back yard. There, Victoria offers the girl a permanent home as a member of the family, then tells her, “I love you.”

Doris is overwhelmed by emotion at first… but she joyfully accepts, and they celebrate by undressing and making love. 

Then next day, Victoria tells Doris how she first became attracted to women. It began at the age of sixteen, when she was given the service of a personal maid, a lively Irish girl named Nora, who would quickly become young Victoria’s faithful friend and companion.

The story resumes here. Do enjoy.

I

Our lives are stories within stories.

They begin with the story of our birth, then branch out into a multitude of other tales along the way, which in turn give rise to yet more stories, each smaller narrative feeding back into the larger one. And as our lives touch the lives of others, loved ones and strangers alike, our stories merge and overlap with theirs, changing the flow of the prose in subtle and unpredictable ways.

This story is about my time at Shadowglen, but to tell it properly, I must also share Victoria Shaw’s story, the way she related it to me. You have already heard part of her tale: the life she was born into, the death of her brother, how she met her friend and lover Nora Murphy.

The next part of Victoria’s tale began with an old hardback copy of Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tales and fables, and inside that book, yet another tale: “The Shirt Collar.”

It was a dull, overcast afternoon that threatened rain, and the two of us had retreated into Victoria’s study to spend some time reading. I sat on a sturdy wingback chair next to the window, an open copy of Steinbeck’s To a God Unknown resting in my lap.

Leaning forward in her Chesterfield, Victoria ran the tip of a finger down an old, battered book that lay open on her desk.

“What’re you reading?” I asked.

She peered across, as if noticing me for the first time, and it was clear I’d pulled her from some reverie or other. “Hmm? This? Oh, an old book of stories that’s been in the family for donkey’s years. But I’m not exactly reading it. Just… remembering.”

“Remembering what?”

Victoria regarded the old volume with a thoughtful smile that was tempered by a shade of melancholy. “A bedtime story,” she said. “And a love that was not meant to be.”

II

After that first time Nora bathed me, I had the old tin tub hauled up the stairs as often as I was able without arousing too much suspicion. During the day, I would often go out of my way to become sufficiently grubby, working up a sweat riding my pony, or returning home with bits of twigs and leaves in my hair from rigorous hikes through the woods.

The thought of Nora’s soapy hands upon my naked, wet skin never failed to leave me breathless with anticipation, and our little bathing sessions happened later into the night, knowing as we did that most of the other staff had already retired for the evening, our privacy all but ensured.

One evening, after Nora had dried me off with a towel and slipped a nightdress over my head, she drew me towards her for a long, warm embrace. “It’s late, Buttercup,” she crooned when we’d parted, stretching her limbs in a most unladylike fashion. “I’d best be getting to bed.”

I didn’t want her to go back to her own room, though. I never wanted that. I craved her company, her sweet scent and her raucous laughter; her silly stories. And something else that I had no way of truly recognising or understanding, some longing for intimacy that didn’t seem like it was meant for Nora and me.

As she turned to go, I touched her shoulder, seized by an impulse that simply had to be obeyed. “You could stay with me tonight,” I murmured, gesturing to my bed. “There’s room for two.”

The way her eyes gleamed, I could tell she liked the idea, but there was reluctance there, too. “I shouldn’t,” she said, shaking her head. “‘Tisn’t proper. And it could get me into trouble.”

“No one’ll know,” I assured her. “As long as you go back to your room before the rest of the household wakes.”

Nora put her hands on her hips and gave me a good natured scowl. “Sure, and you’ll be the death of me, Victoria Shackleford! All right, then. I’ll spend the night with you.”

“Splendid!” I exclaimed.

Nora slipped off her pinafore, then began to undo the buttons on her uniform. “Will you read me one of your stories?”

I had to smile. In many ways, Nora seemed a far more womanly creature than I, but given the chance to hear a fairytale or fable, she became a wide-eyed child again. “Of course… we mustn’t go to sleep without a story,” I told her. “Which one would you like?”

Thinking about it for a moment, she replied. “The one about the shirt collar! I like how you tell that one.”

“A good choice.” It was one of Nora’s favourites. Fetching my volume of Hans Christian Andersen from the shelf, I returned to the bed. “Let’s get under the blankets first. My feet are getting cold. Do you want to nip back to your room and fetch a nightshirt? I think mine would all be too small for you.”

“No need,” Nora answered, a merry lilt to her voice. “I don’t wear them.” She removed her dress and draped it over my vanity chair, leaving her in nothing but a chemise and a pair of split drawers.

I was more than a little intrigued. “What do you wear to bed, then?”

Nora’s eyes danced in the dim light of my bedside lamp. “Not much.” The chemise joined the dress, and now her breasts were bare. With a single deft motion, she undid and removed the drawers, leaving her completely nude. Standing before me, she spread her arms ever so slightly, as if presenting herself.

My head swam at the sight. It struck me that I’d never seen anyone completely out of their clothing before.

Nora was magnificent, a goddess sent to walk amongst mortals. Her breasts were pillowy and full, the perky nipples ringed by large, dark areolae. Generous hips framed a thatch of copper-red hair. Her skin was pale and creamy. Every inch of her seemed to glow with beauty and strength.

I’m sure I must have been staring at Nora like a fool, but she seemed to bask in my regard. “Will I do, then?” she murmured, hooking her hands into her hips and performing a slow pirouette for my benefit. No one could ever accuse Nora of being shy.

All I could do was nod appreciatively, studying Nora as if she was a piece of fine art. She was equally impressive from behind, not least the apple-like curves of her arse.

“You’re… you’re beautiful, Nora,” I sighed, feeling awed and, truth be told, a little envious.

“Oh, pshaw!” she said with a dismissive wave, though there was no mistaking the pleased expression on her face. “You’re just bein’ kind. ‘Tis you who’s the pretty one.”

I thought she was perfectly daft to think so, but it seemed a silly thing to argue over. “Let’s say both of us are pretty, then,” I told her, then gestured toward the bed. “Shall we?”

“Here, I’ll turn it down,” Nora said. One of her routine tasks was to prepare my bed for me, though I’ll wager this was the first time she’d ever done it in the altogether. She bent to fold the blankets back, and in the process treated me to an unexpected view of the flower of her sex. I don’t use that word idly – it really did put me in mind of a pink lily.

It was only a brief glance, but enough to send my imagination soaring to lusty new heights. Is that what I look like from behind? I wondered. Before I could give the matter any more thought, Nora had slipped beneath the blankets. “In you get, Buttercup!” she exclaimed, patting the empty side of the bed.

Placing my storybook on the night table, I began to lift the blanket, but Nora stopped me with an emphatic shake of the head. “No, no,” she said, pointing at my nightshirt. “Take your shift off first.”

I gawped at her. “Sleep in – in nothing? I’ve never done anything like that!”

Something in her smile quickened my heartbeat. “Time you tried it, then,” she said. “It feels much nicer with nothing on…” Nora flashed her jade eyes at me. “‘Specially if you mean to have a cuddle.”

I was rather taken aback by the boldness of her words, but upon further consideration, climbing into bed naked with Nora did seem to hold a certain curious appeal. In fact, I found the idea positively beguiling. Besides, it would have been more awkward for me to refuse, especially as Nora had already stripped down to nothing, and was expecting me to follow her example.

So reaching for the hem of my nightie, I tugged it up and off, casting the garment to the floor, then climbed into bed, stretching out alongside her.

She nestled into me, purring, “Mmmm, that’s lovely.”

It was lovely, too… indeed, almost intoxicating. I was enthralled by the softness and warmth of Nora’s skin, the scent of her hair, the way her breath caressed my ear.

I might have been content to lie there for hours, our bodies pressed together. But just as my eyes were drifting shut, Nora whispered, “What about my story?”

Sitting up, I reached for my book. I slipped the pillow behind me, then leaned back against the large oaken headboard before turning to the page I wanted. Nora rested her head against my breast as I began to read.

The story she asked for, “The Collar,” concerned a boastful, boorish man’s shirt collar. Deciding to take a wife, he badgers other items in his master’s house to marry him – a ladies’ garter, an iron, a scissors and a comb – but always without success. In the end, he is pulped along with a bin of old rags and made into paper. In fact, so the story goes, he becomes the very paper on which it was printed. Nora loved that ending, and would clap her hands with glee at the fate of the overbearing collar.

I usually enjoyed telling this tale, assuming different voices for each of the characters. But this time, it left me feeling a little melancholy. Soon, I would be presented to suitors of my own, gentlemen anxious to get their hands on our estate… and unlike the various implements that populated Mr. Andersen’s story, I would not be permitted to refuse. If my father approved the match, I would then be wed to a man I scarcely knew. Needless to say, the prospect filled me with gloom.

Bringing the story to a finish, I closed the book, returning it to the night table with a sigh. Nora regarded me with wide-eyed concern. “What’s the matter?” she said.

I wrapped both arms round my companion, drawing solace from her warmth. “Nora… do you think you’ll ever be married?”

She gave a snort of laughter. “No fear of that!”

“But you have admirers, don’t you?”

Nora made a face. “I’ve had a few so-and-so’s try to take liberties with me, but I just give ‘em a crack on the jaw, an’ that takes care of that.” She giggled, leaning into me conspiratorially. “Know who tried to woo me, my first week here? Your da’s man, Abernathy. He grabbed my arse, too!”

I was astounded. Abernathy had been Father’s valet for as long as I could remember. He’d always seemed the soul of propriety, much too dignified to do something like paw a servant girl. Clearly, I was even more naive than I’d thought when it came to the ways of men. “Did you crack him on the jaw?”

“Aww, no,” she admitted. “I didn’t want to leave a mark on him that the master could see. So I stamped on his foot instead! Madder’n a singed cat, he was! But he never put his grubby hands on me again.” I saw her mouth tighten. “I don’t like men that way. Never have, never will.”

“I’m sure there are at least a few men worth marrying,” I told her. “Maybe you’ll meet one of them and fall in love—”

I was only teasing, but I saw something unexpected in Nora’s expression; a grave solemnity so out of character for her that it silenced me in mid-sentence. Had I somehow wounded her feelings?

“Victoria,” she said, looking away, “if I… if I tell you a secret, will you keep it for me?”

I’d not seen her like this before. She wouldn’t meet my eyes, her cheeks were pale and she was strangely subdued. I was used to the child-like delight Nora took in the smallest of things – an oddly-shaped leaf or a toffee apple at the fair. But right then she put me in mind of a little girl who was about to be punished.

I took her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. “Of course, silly. Your secrets are safe with me.”

“You mustn’t tell a soul. Ever. It would be terrible for me if I was found out.”

Now my curiosity was rapidly giving way to alarm. What in heaven’s name could she have done? Foolish child that I was, I actually wondered if my beloved Nora might be a murderess.

Not that it mattered. Come what may, I would protect my friend. “I won’t tell anyone,” I said. “You have my word on that.”

Rolling onto her back, Nora breathed out a ragged sigh. She regarded the ceiling for a long moment before speaking again. “You know how most girls have… fellas they like? Some of them likes pretty much any bloke they meet.”

“Girls like our Sally, you mean?” I replied.

Sally was the cook’s assistant. She’d not been with us for long, but had already chalked up a reputation amongst the staff for being quite the flirt. Mother’s maid Eileen had told Nora, ‘Anyone in trousers’ll do for that one.’

“Like her, yeah,” Nora answered. “But me, I’m not that way. I…” She rolled away from me, then hugged both knees to her chest. A tiny sob escaped her lips.

That struck me to the core. “Nora, what’s the matter?” I pleaded, grasping her shoulders from behind.

“Don’t wanna say,” she mumbled. “I’m ‘fraid you’ll hate me.”

I felt almost… angry with her. How could she believe such a thing? I sat up, glaring down at her with folded arms, my jaw firmly set. “Nora Murphy, let’s have no more of this foolishness. You’ll say what you have to say, and I will most certainly not hate you for it!”

In spite of everything, that made her laugh. “I s’pose that’s an order.” Turning back to me, she fumbled for my hand. “All right, then.” She sniffled, then raised her eyes to meet mine. “I… It’s not fellas I like, Victoria. It’s girls.”

I stared at her blankly. “Huh?”

“I’m sayin’ I like girls.”

Realisation suddenly hit me like a blow to the head. “You mean…?”

Nora nodded gravely.

“Oh… Oh!” I’d never even entertained the notion of women preferring their own sex. But once the possibility had been revealed to me, it didn’t seem so outlandish.

She stared at me with wide, unblinking eyes. “Do you want me to go back to my own bed?”

“Um… no. Why would I?”

“Just because.” She seemed puzzled. “Why’re you smilin’ at me like that?”

“I’m not sure,” I admitted. “Maybe because… I didn’t know girls could be that way? To be honest, I think it makes you awfully interesting. It gives you an air of mystery!”

“So you… you don’t think I’m disgusting?”

I cupped Nora’s cheek. “Don’t be silly. Why on earth would I think that?”

Nora covered my hand with hers. “You might, when I tell you the next bit.”

“Well, it can hardly be any more scandalous than—” I began.

Nora cut me short. “I love you, Victoria.”

“And I love you. You’re my—” and that was when the true meaning of her words sank in.

I stared at Nora for what seemed like an eternity, my palm still resting against her cheek, our faces so close that I could feel the warmth of her breath.

“You… love me?” I whispered after a long while.

Nora nodded.

“Why?” I asked dumbly.

Why?” Nora repeated. “Er… I dunno. I just do, is all.”

“Well, what do you love about me?” My voice was steady and calm; inside, I was all aquiver.

Nora reached out to stroke my blonde tresses. “I love your hair.”

I locked my fingers through hers. “What else?”

She leaned into me and nuzzled my neck. “I love your smell.”

Her lips brushing against my skin tickled deliciously, making me giggle. “Wh-what else?”

“Your laugh. I always enjoy hearin’ it.”

I realised with no little amazement that the things Nora loved about me were amongst the very same qualities that endeared me to her. The lush red curls of her hair. The sweet smell of her skin. Her boisterous laughter. And that was by no means all.

Was that what it meant to fall in love, then? Those little unspoken things? I’d thought what Nora and I shared was naught but the cosy familiarity of companionship, but perhaps that distinction was a tenuous one. Girls fall into intimacy so much more easily than boys. Physical affection comes far more naturally to us, and there’s little of the insecurity and rivalries that define male relationships.

Indeed, had Nora and I not strolled through the woods hand in hand many times, or nestled together on the settee while I read to her? I’d enjoyed those intimate moments, but failed to recognise them as anything more than friendship. Back then I’d been too young and inexperienced to understand that the potential for love between two women was so often present, smouldering beneath the surface.

But my own feelings at that moment were more base and vital: Want. Need. Hunger.

And so I did the only thing I could do: put my lips to Nora’s and kissed her.

She stiffened at first, no doubt startled by my boldness… but in an instant, she was eagerly returning my affection. Her arms twined round my back, our bare bodies joining together.

Novice that I was, I chose to let Nora take the lead – for the moment, at least. She rolled onto her back, pulling me with her until my body rested atop hers. Parting her legs, she invited me to lie between them, her pubic thatch brushing my lower belly.

All I knew of kissing was lips meeting lips, but Nora showed me the many forms a kiss could take. Her mouth toyed with mine; teasing, sucking, nibbling. And when she finally brought her tongue into play, it was nothing short of a revelation.

I was a bashful but eager student, doing my best to match Nora’s passion. I met her tongue with mine, and we fell into a sort of playful combat.

I’d never felt so giddy, so alive. For the first time in my sixteen years I truly understood what it was to love, and my soul seemed to glow with the knowing of it.

Breaking our kiss, I blurted, “I love you too, Nora! I love you more than anything.”

Her face shone like the sun. “Oh, Buttercup… you’ll never know what it means to hear you say that!”

Our mouths drifted together yet again. This time, the kiss was tender yet sensuous, smouldering with promise. When Nora’s body moved against mine, it stirred a mounting heat beneath my belly, then fanned it into a flame. I’d known arousal before, as any girl my age had, but never this intensely, never so vital as to demand such urgent attention.

As if she completely understood my need, Nora drew away, a wild gleam in her eye. “Victoria,” she breathed, “I want to show you how a girl loves another girl. It’s proper nice; the grandest feelin’ you’ll ever have. Will you let me?”

I had to smile. What was the point of even asking? I could no more refuse her than I could sprout wings and fly away. “I want to know all of it, Nora,” I whispered. “Teach me everything.”

Her response was to roll the pair of us over until our positions were reversed. Now Nora’s warm, satisfying weight was pressing into me delightfully. She kissed me on the lips only briefly before her mouth trailed downward to nuzzle the hollow of my throat, then the top of my chest. A sob escaped me as her lips enveloped the taut bud of my nipple, and I held her as a nursing mother ight cradle a babe.

She gently sucked the tip of my breast, occasionally teasing it with tiny flicks of the tongue. It felt divine; a flame that caressed rather than burned. Then she switched to the other nipple, and that wondrous sensation renewed itself.

Casting the blankets to the floor with a sweep of her arm, Nora moved down even further to bury her face in the softness of my tummy. I saw her take a deep breath, her nostrils flaring. “My, but you smell good,” she sighed. “I could gobble you right up, so I could!” A mischievous smile teased the corners of her mouth. “Think I’ll do just that…”

And before my astonished eyes, Nora lowered her head between my legs, parted her lips, then took a long, slow lick along the cleft of my sex.

A welter of emotions surged through me. At first I was aghast, unable to comprehend that anyone would put their mouth down there. Then I was moved by the fervour of Nora’s devotion; that she would do such a thing for me. At the same time, my conscience prickled, certain what we were doing was a terrible, terrible sin… yet the sheer wickedness of the deed gave me an illicit thrill, since I so seldom misbehaved. But most of all, Nora’s mouth and tongue stirred me to rapture, summoning up ecstasy such as I’d never imagined. Surely these pleasures were the exclusive domain of the gods – yet now they were mine to take, to hold, to embrace.

My legs trembled as Nora buried her lips into my womanly centre, probing into me with her tongue. Her eyes burned into mine, alive with a fierce hunger. Even in the midst of my bliss, I was taken aback. Did she really desire me that much? Had she wanted this from me all along?

Warmth and pressure continued to build inside me, growing steadily until Nora withdrew her tongue, then slowly licked a pathway to the sensitive spot at the apex of my vagina. Occasionally when bathing, I’d found that area to be particularly tender, and would sometimes linger there with soapy fingers for longer than mere cleanliness required. But when Nora began to lick the little nub, those feelings surged to new, unimaginable heights.

I was certain the intensity of it would undo me. Somehow, I managed to clamp a hand over my mouth, muffling a cry I was unable to silence completely. My body was shaking helplessly, a marionette with tangled strings. Never having known the full extent of my body’s capacity for pleasure, I found the experience alarming, but in that moment of pure, urgent bliss, I couldn’t have possibly fought against the tide, even if I’d had any inclination to do so.

Such rapture could not endure for very long, of course. That frantic rush of sensations began to ebb, the howling wind slowing to a gentle breeze, my sex now tender and aching.

Thankfully, Nora understood that I’d drunk my fill and needed to recover. Raising her head with a sweet smile on her lips, she crawled into my arms, and I kissed her without a second thought, her mouth still smeared with my essence. Intrigued, I tasted myself on her lips. The flavour was tart and earthy, not at all unpleasant… and it had me wondering what it would be like to love Nora in the same way.

It was a powerful impulse, one I was unable to resist. Breaking our kiss, I gazed into those deep emerald eyes, whispering, “I want to do that to you.”

A hint of uncertainty coloured her expression, though she tried to conceal it. “Oh, you don’t have to bother,” she said, with a dismissive wave of her hand, as if I was offering something as trifling as a boiled sweet. I wasn’t fooled for a second, mind you.

“I most certainly do!” I replied, feeling positively buoyant, more certain of myself than ever before. “And as your mistress, I insist that you lie back, open your legs and allow me to do as I please. Otherwise, there will be consequences!”

It was a pitch-perfect imitation of my mother in an imperious mood, and Nora was quick to recognise it. She gave a snort of laughter, then nodded. “Whatever the lady desires, I’m sure,” she said, making herself sound ludicrously timid. “Forgive me for not bein’ able to curtsy, ma’am, but as you can see, I’m not wearin’ a dress.”

We burst into a volley of giggles, then drew together to kiss yet again, my tongue seeking and engaging hers. I kept that kiss going after we drifted apart, taking my lips on a slow stroll over Nora’s chin, then trailing down her neck.

Nora’s breasts, so much fuller than mine, were a delight to explore. I had to pause in my travels to adorn them with kisses. A wave of excitement rolled through me as I took a nipple between my lips, feeling it swell when I circled it with the tip of my tongue.

“Lovely…” Nora breathed, the word trailing off into a moan as she cradled me to her chest. I didn’t bother to reply, just continued to nurse from one creamy breast whilst fondling the other, then switching sides. Suddenly a mischievous impulse seized me.

“Oh, Lord!” Nora gasped when I gave her nipple a playful bite, a shiver rippling through her body. “Do that again!” she implored me.

Happy to oblige, I lightly grazed the tips of her breasts with my teeth, each in turn. But like a gourmand at a feast, I was eager to sample all Nora’s delights, so I resumed my downward journey – nuzzling along the terrace of her ribs, then rubbing my face into the unimaginable softness of her belly. Nora’s scent was more potent here, the familiar sweetness of her skin enhanced by the thicker aroma of what I now recognised as arousal.

The smell drew me in like a beckoning finger until I was lying prone between Nora’s thighs, close enough to feel the warmth of her womanhood on my face. Like before, I was put in mind of a pink-petaled flower; an exotic bloom so much more interesting than my own neatly tucked cleft.

I inhaled deeply, breathing in the heady perfume of Nora’s musk as I slowly reached out to touch the rosy flesh. She shivered when I traced the moist opening with a fingertip, whimpering, “P-please… please, Victoria.”

My God, the power I felt at that moment! I’d never been comfortable exercising any measure of authority over the servants, always meekly asking for what I wanted. Now I had this strong, wilful young woman at my mercy, begging me to give her relief.

Of course, I loved Nora far too much to leave her wanting. I drew close to take a hesitant lick, pausing to sample her flavour. It was similar to my own, yet tantalisingly different. I licked again, this time trailing the flat of my tongue from the bottom of Nora’s slit to the top. She moaned long and low, her fingers twining into my still-damp hair.

I was beside myself with excitement. The memory of Nora bringing me to ecstasy was still fresh, and I was determined to do as much for her. After taking several more licks of that juicy honeypot, I buried my mouth in the rosy flesh.

“Ohhhh, Victoria, I – I love you…” she mewled, tightening her grip on my head. Wrapping my hands round Nora’s thighs, I pushed my tongue into her, just as she’d done for me.

The warmth and wetness of my lover’s vagina was considerable, and I found myself supping on Nora as if her sex was a sun-ripened peach, its sweetness glazing my lips and chin. Her trembling thighs tightened around my face as I continued to feast, my tongue burrowing as deep as its length would allow.

Determined to make Nora feel better than she ever had, I sought out that special place just above her slit. I felt for the little bead, then gently rolled it between my finger and thumb.

The effect was absolutely explosive. “Ohhh!” Nora cried as a violent jerk shook her, almost powerful  enough to dislodge me. She blindly fumbled for a pillow and pressed it to her mouth, stifling a scream that surely would’ve had anyone within earshot hastening to see what all the hubbub was about.

I continued to pleasure her with my mouth and fingers while she writhed on the bed, my lips slick with her essence. Finally, she shoved me away, blurting, “No more… Christ almighty, n-no more!”

Sitting back on my haunches, I studied my handiwork, well pleased with the result. Nora was gasping for breath, her pale body glazed with perspiration, face flushed a deep pink. Her hair had come loose, revealing the unruly shock of red curls that inspired her nickname. In truth, she looked faintly ridiculous, yet also utterly beautiful. It filled me with a bizarre kind of pride, knowing I had given my sweetheart the same feelings of rapture she had bestowed upon me.

Nora’s eyes fluttered open, and she gave me a weary smile. “’Scuse me for cursin’,” she murmured, “but bloody hell, Buttercup! That was – God almighty, I’ve not got the words!” She fixed me with a suspicious gaze. “You sure you never done anything like this before?”

I had to giggle. “No, never. Was it good, then?”

“Divine,” she sighed, giving her limbs a lazy stretch. “Course, I’ve only ever had it off with one other girl, but you went and put her in the shade!”

I was pleased, but also curious. “Who was she?”

Nora shrugged. “A maid at the last house I worked at. We shared a room, and… well, things just happened. I think that was only ‘cos she didn’t have a fella, though. Once she got her hooks into one, we never done it again.”

I stretched out next to Nora. “Is that why you don’t work there anymore?”

“On account of her? Ah, no – it’s ‘cos the master dropped dead at the dinner table one night. Bad ticker, it was. His lad closed the house down, and they gave us all our walkin’ papers. Thought I might have to go back home, tail ’tween my legs… but I found a job as a ladies’ maid for a sweet, pretty lass named Victoria.” She placed a tiny kiss on the tip of my nose.

Warmed by her smile and her words, I teasingly asked, “Is it working out for you, then, that job?”

“Oh, aye. The little miss is a bit bossy, truth be told, but she sure knows her way around a girl’s minge.”

I opened my mouth in shock, then gave her arm a half-hearted slap. “Nora Murphy! You really are awful!”

She drew me close, sliding a thigh between my legs. “But you love me.”

Basking in Nora’s tantalising aroma, her soft, warm frame nestled into mine, I felt that exquisite throb again, making itself known beneath my belly. “Yes… I do love you,” I whispered.

The impulse to kiss Nora was irresistible, and when my lips met hers, she responded in kind. And just like that, we were making love again.

This time we coupled by grinding our bodies together, generating a dizzying friction that stole my breath away. Moving slowly at first, Nora and I were soon going at it furiously, making the bed shake beneath us.

My lover and I climaxed together, frantically clutching at one another as those wondrous sensations consumed us. Her sex was hot and slick against my thigh, and I knew mine must have felt much the same to her. Then our shared rapture rose to its crescendo, and I ceased to think of anything but the immediacy of the pleasure rushing through me.

Afterward, I lolled in Nora’s arms, breathing in the sweet scent of her hair while her lips brushed my neck. We lay that way for a long while, nearly dozing in each other’s arms. Finally, she sat up and stretched her arms out. “I’d best be gettin’ back to my room,” she said with a yawn.

I pouted. “Must you?”

She nodded soberly. “I’m bloody knackered. If I stay, I’d fall asleep for certain. It wouldn’t do for us to get found like this… ‘specially since neither of us is wearin’ a stitch.”

I saw the sense in her words, but it didn’t mean I had to be happy about it. “I suppose you’re right. But… we will do this again, won’t we?”

Flopping back down by my side, Nora seized me with both arms. “Course we will! We’re sweethearts, aren’t we?”

“Yes,” I murmured. “We are. Well, if you really must go, may I have a kiss first…?”

“Y’don’t even need to ask, Buttercup,” she replied sweetly, a stray lock of hair falling across her face. “Not ever. You want a kiss, take it! I’ll never tell you no.”

So we joined together one more time. After the frenzy of our last round of lovemaking, this kiss was languid and gentle, our tongues engaging in a slow, romantic dance.

When eventually we drifted apart, Nora held the sheet up to her face and sniffed it. “I’ll wash your bedding first thing tomorrow, just in case one of the other girls gets to it ‘fore I do,” she said, then with a wicked grin: “Wouldn’t want people getting ideas, would we?” Climbing to her feet, she stepped into her drawers, pulled the chemise over her head, then gathered up the rest of her things.

“Goodnight, Nora,” I said, already missing the warm, naked presence of her body in my bed.

“G’night, my sweet,” she replied. Then, quiet as a whisper, she slipped out into the hallway, gently closing the door behind.

It was late, and I knew it would be best to turn off the light and go to sleep. But Nora’s scent still lingered on my bed sheets, and my mind was abuzz with excitement. How could it be otherwise? I’d taken my best friend and companion into my bed and, in the process, stumbled into a new world filled with possibilities. I was positively glowing inside, my body still warmed by the carnal delights we’d shared.

I have a sweetheart. Those wonderful words rang in my mind like silver bells. I have a sweetheart!

The spectre of marriage had loomed over me since I’d begun to menstruate, and I’d meekly accepted what was to be my lot – a life yoked in matrimony to some man I might never love, obliged to cater to his every whim, as a dutiful English wife of the gentry should.

But perhaps fate had dealt me a vastly different hand. I’d found my true love somewhere wholly unexpected. More than that, she had been hiding in plain sight all along.

My giddy mood dimmed somewhat when I reflected upon the difficulties of this love. It went without saying that my mother and father would be horrified to learn what Nora and I had been up to. In their eyes, my poor dead brother’s dissolute ways would be a trifle compared to this.

I pushed those thoughts aside, unwilling to let them taint my euphoria. I was a girl in love, longing to bask in that blissful state forever. And since I no longer had Nora to hold, I hugged myself instead, burying my face in the sheets to breathe in her fragrance until, shortly thereafter, I drifted into a blissful sleep.

III

Victoria took a sip of her tea, then made a face. “Ergh. Stone cold.”

“Shall I make us some more?” I asked, lazily stretching my arms.

“No, it’s all right. I didn’t realise I’d been talking for so long.”

“You certainly know how to spin a sultry yarn,” I told her earnestly, the warmth between my legs attesting to the truth of that.

“Well, you seem to like all the brass tacks,” Victoria said. “And I quite enjoyed telling it.”

From my place by the window I could see Mr. Farnsworth down in the garden, pruning roses. Off in the distance, a tractor weaved its way through a field of barley.

“Did you and Nora share your bed again after that first time?”

“As often as possible,” Victoria replied. “But it became increasingly difficult to keep our hands off each other during the day, too. It turned into a game of sorts, to slip away to some isolated spot without being noticed.”

“That sounds familiar,” I said wryly.

But Victoria was lost in thought, her expression turned grim. “We grew careless. Taking Nora into my bed was risky enough, but then we began to make daily sojourns into the woods to enjoy one another. It was brazen, even foolhardy of us.

“One afternoon, we retreated into a secluded part of the forest. Using our clothes as a makeshift blanket, we lay down on the ground and began to make love. It was only when Nora froze beneath me that I knew something was wrong.”

“What happened?”

“The next thing I heard was Mother’s voice. ‘Victoria Edwina Shackleford! Cease that disgusting behaviour at once!'”

Horrified, I couldn’t help but put a hand to my mouth. “Bloody hell.”

“Oh, that was only the start of it. Standing behind Mother with a face like a smacked arse was Elsie, one of our scullery maids. Elsie had tried to wedge herself into my friendship with Nora, without much success. Looking back now, I was perhaps a little colder to her than I ought to have been, but when Nora and I became lovers, there was no room for anyone else.

“I think she must have secretly followed us into the woods and, either out of jealousy or spite, decided to tell my parents. Anyway, I shot to my feet and tried to cover myself with my petticoat. Mother strode up to me and slapped me hard across the face. She’d never hit me before – a stern word was usually sufficient – and it was enough to make me appreciate the seriousness of the situation.

“Nora had gone as pale as a sheet, and as Mother hissed at us to get dressed, I couldn’t help but notice the pleased little smirk on Elsie’s face. I don’t think I’ve ever hated anyone more than I did her at that moment.

“Mother marched us back to the house, gripping my arm tightly enough to leave a bruise. I was terrified, but even more so for Nora. At one point I tried to tell Nora how sorry I was, but before I could, Mother cut me off. ‘Not a word,’ she snapped. ‘Not a word!’ Once we reached the house, Mother sent Nora to Father’s study, then all but dragged me to my room. She thrust me inside, then locked the door behind.”

“What happened to Nora?”

Victoria was quiet for a long moment. She sat on the edge of the chair and hugged herself, as if trying to seek refuge from the memory. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t?”

I could barely hear her next words. “That was the last time I ever saw her.”

She was visibly struggling, trying not to weep, but all in vain. A single tear rolled down her cheek, followed by more. Then a sob racked her body.

I’d never known Victoria to cry, and the sight of it cut me to the quick. Alarmed, I rushed over to kneel at her feet. “Oh, my love!” I murmured, taking her hands in mine.

“They took her from me, Doris. They sent her away.” She got to her feet and brushed past me, striding up to the tall window and resting her head against the glass. “I wanted to destroy the world. I screamed. I raged. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep. I begged Mother and Father to tell me where she’d gone. They made it clear that I’d never see her again. How could they be so cruel? How?!”

I took Victoria’s place in her chair, my hands laced in my lap. “I’m so sorry.”

“Father had me fetched to his study the next day. I’ve no doubt he would’ve thrashed the life out of me, had I been a son instead of a daughter. In some ways, the look of disgust on his face was worse than any beating. He told me I’d be married off as soon as a suitor could be found, but I didn’t care about any of that right then. I just wanted to know where Nora was.”

“He wouldn’t tell you anything?

“He said my foolishness had destroyed her life.”

I was appalled. “No! For God’s sake, it wasn’t your fault!”

Victoria spun to face me, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen pain like that etched on someone’s face, then or now. “Of course it was my fault!” she cried. “I took her into my bed when I should have pushed her away. I knew the risks. I knew Nora would be the one to take the brunt of the punishment if we were found out.

“Father can be a vindictive man. I wouldn’t be surprised if he spread word amongst the other estates that Nora was unfit for service. It might well have ruined her. Where would she have gone? Back to Ireland? Would the scandal have followed her there, too?” She slowly shook her head. “To this day, I wonder what happened to her. Did she end up in one of those awful Irish nunneries? Was she forced to take a husband to make ends meet? Could she have been reduced to – to selling her body on a city street? I just don’t know, Doris. And it’s the not knowing that eats away at me.”

“Did you look for her?” I asked.

“Yes. But it was years before I could even mount an attempt. When the children were old enough, and my husband too far gone to notice what was happening around him, I hired a private detective. It seems Nora had gone back to Ireland, but beyond that there was no trace of her.”

“Nothing? Nothing at all?”

Victoria shook her head forlornly. “Not a whisper. Do you know the worst thing, Doris? The very worst thing of all? Worse even than my years of marriage to that monster?”

I could only shake my head.

“Imagining that Nora might hate me. That she might think I was the worst thing that ever happened to her. The spoilt little rich girl who had her bit of fun, then got to carry on as if nothing happened while Nora’s life c-crumbled around her.” Victoria folded to her knees and began sobbing all over again.

I rushed over to wrap my arms around her. “You mustn’t ever say that! Nora loved you. And she knew you loved her. What happened to Nora was your parents’ fault, not yours. Never doubt it, my love.”

“I wish I could be sure of that,” she whimpered, her head nestled against my shoulder. “What a terrible thing it is, to never really be certain…”

Victoria had no words left, and I lacked the wisdom to offer any more of my own. So we simply sat together for a long while, the afternoon sun warm on our faces.

Some time later, when the school bus pulled up outside Shadowglen and the girls could be seen climbing off, Victoria patted my hand. “I’d like to retire to my room for a little while. Can you manage without me?”

“Of course,” I told her. “Will you join us for supper later?”

“No. No, I don’t think so. Tell the girls I have a headache. I… I just need some time alone.”

“I understand.”

Victoria made to leave, but turned back to me in the doorway. “This doesn’t change anything between us, Doris. I loved Nora, and some part of me always will, but it isn’t love I cling onto – it’s regret. You were never a substitute for her. I hope you believe that.”

“I do,” I told her, and meant it. Nora was no threat to me. Indeed, Victoria had painted such a vivid picture of her that I couldn’t help but be fond of the flame-haired lass. I wished I could’ve met her, exchanged a joke with her, walked through the bluebell woods with her and Victoria. Perhaps even shared a bed with them both.

That night, waiting for sleep to come, I wished with all my heart that Nora’s life had been a happy one, wherever the poor girl had ended up.

On to Chapter Eight!

 

A Space Nymphet, Chapter 2

Raya had finished running all of the tests she could from outside the planet’s atmosphere. The data indicated that it appeared to be remarkably Earth-like… in fact, it might be an even healthier world than Earth, though further tests would have to be conducted once we reached the surface. At any rate, Raya concluded that it was safe enough for us to land.

Once again, I was strapped in as we began our descent. It was a much smoother ride than I’d anticipated, as the planet’s atmosphere was far less volatile than that of Earth.

While I’d been sleeping, Raya had analysed various sites on the surface, in search of the best place for our shuttle to make landfall. She finally opted for one that was several thousand miles away from any volcanic activity, near a river that flowed into the sea. There were large areas of open scrub next to what appeared to be dense forest disappearing into the distance.

I heard the hum of machinery when the shuttle deployed its wings. Now we were on a gentle powered glide downward. Raya opened the screens that covered the control room windows. She didn’t need them open to operate the craft, but figured that I would want to see everything. Up until that moment, I hadn’t even thought to ask if they opened.

I saw a glint far away to our left… what could it be? Raya had assured me that she’d seen no signs of civilization, nothing structural at all.

So I spoke up. “Raya, I see something shining. It’s over in the mountains, and it’s not liquid.”

“Yes, I have just picked up faint traces of a power source, coming from that direction. I was certain there was nothing here, but now I am not so sure.”

We banked to the left as Raya took us higher. The speed increased as we headed in the direction I had indicated, approaching a huge mountain. As we drew nearer, I saw the glint several more times.

“That big cliff is artificial,” Raya said, “and it was clearly made by some intelligent race. The flash of light you saw was from a massive doorway; you will see it better when I turn. I sense there is a shield in place, but haven’t yet been able to ascertain where it begins. This is the power source I detected.”

The shuttle had slowed until we were barely moving, but the lights on the ship’s control panels were flashing at a breakneck pace. Raya was clearly working hard.

“I am receiving a signal, but I do not yet recognise the language. I am working to translate it, but it does appear to be a warning of some kind. I am going to land the shuttle on that flat area to the right. Do you concur?”

“Just do whatever you think best, Raya. I trust you to make the right call.”

The shuttle settled lower. “Please remain strapped in, Zelda. I detect that weapons have been deployed and are currently pointed at us, so it may be necessary to make an emergency departure. In the meantime, our defence systems and weapons are fully activated.”

That surprised me. I’d assumed the shuttle was only an escape or exploratory craft, but it had offensive capabilities as well.

After a moment, Raya spoke. “I have translated the message. It is asking us to identify ourselves, and has warned us not to come any closer. It is a strange tongue, not related to any language in my database. The message appears to be computer-generated. I will ask to speak to someone in authority.”

The lights continued to flash until suddenly, a machine-voice came over the speaker system. Raya was relaying a translation to me. “You are ordered to stand down your weapons. Failure to do so will result in your elimination. You must comply immediately.”

Raya said, “I will try to convince that machine that we are not a threat. They are attempting to probe my systems, but I am able to block them.”

As Raya finished speaking, there was a brief flare. The defence screen Raya had raised glimmered; they had just fired on us. I felt a small vibration, but nothing more. They had failed to penetrate our force field.

“That was an unnecessary attack, and it was also futile. We mean you no harm. We are not here in any offensive capacity,” Raya transmitted.

Again our screen flared, several times over, but it held firm. We remained unharmed.

“I recommend that we take out that weapon, but nothing more just yet,” Raya said. A moment’s silence, then she added, “I need permission to take any form of aggressive action, Zelda.”

That caught me off guard. “Oh, um, yes. Go ahead, Raya. Teach them a lesson.”

“Disabling their force field… about to fire.” Raya intoned.

I saw a brief shimmer that covered the whole front of the cliff. Then the shuttle shook slightly, I saw a section of the cliff collapse. Our screen flared once more, another weapon had fired at us. Raya returned fire and a different section of the cliff exploded.

I held my breath and waited. Nothing else happened for a few moments. Until lights began to blink again, and the computer-like voice spoke. “We will not fire again. Identify your intentions. Why are you here?”

There followed a series of interchanges. Raya pointed out how easy it had been to take down their force field and counter their weapons. Then she explained how we came to be there and where we were from.

It transpired that there was no one in charge, and it really was a computer that was speaking with us, the only remaining guardian of this outpost. Their time reference was different from ours, but by our calculations, it had been aeons since there were living beings at the facility.

Identifying itself as Rotan, the computer then spoke to me. “Zelda, you are the sentient being on your vessel. Please converse with me, so that I may better understand. I have no experience in dealing with a situation like this one. There are life forms on this planet, but they do not come anywhere near here and cannot be seen as a threat. I am not programmed for a situation such as this, and have no guidelines for what to do next.”

What could I say? I really had no idea. But I knew I had to lend what assistance I could. “Rotan, I am a child, not a grown being. Do you understand? I am, as Raya says, the only survivor from my ship. We were not travelling here but to another world far away. Our being here now is more of an accident than anything.”

I paused to think, and an idea began to take shape. “From what you say, the civilisation that built you is long gone, and you now have no reason to exist. Perhaps I can give you a purpose once more?”

Raya interrupted. “Zelda speaks great sense, Rotan. I suggest you consider what she says.”

Rotan told us again how difficult this was for him. He needed time to assimilate his thoughts. Finally he said, “Give me one revolution of this planet’s sun to consider what you have said. I will give you an answer then.”

***

Raya had been carrying out further atmospheric tests while all this was going on. It still amazed me how she was able to perform so many unrelated tasks at the same time.

“The air of this planet is ideal for humans, Zelda. Furthermore, I cannot detect any pathogens that might prove to be harmful to you. I am able to detect a few small lifeforms, but so far, nothing of significance. This place seems to be ideal for our purpose. If you wish to descend to the surface, I will be ready to open the hatchway in two hours.”

Shit – two hours! By then, I was impatient to explore this new world. Still, I couldn’t fault Raya for being cautious. I’d find some way to pass the time.

For a while, I used the viewer to take in our surroundings. The forest edge was about a mile away, somewhat downhill from where we’d landed. I could see sunlight sparkling on the waters of a distant sea. A small river cut through the valley, no doubt ending at the sea’s edge. After a few minutes, I’d seen all there was to see from my vantage point.

Raya must have sensed my boredom, because all of a sudden the screen flashed up and there she was, giving me a warm smile. “Hi, Zelda. We have another hour to fill before the hatchway opens. Might I interest you in some ‘fun’?” The viewer joystick vibrated in my hand.

For a moment, all I could do was stare. Raya looked even sexier than she had the day before. Clearly, she’d been busy in more ways than I thought. I watched in awe as she stripped her clothes off, her movements slow and sensual. Wow, it was so erotic. She was doing her best to arouse me, and was it ever working!

Once she was naked, Raya folded her arms as she studied me. “Are you not going to undress for me, Zelda? I like to look at your young body. It makes me feel good inside. Would you like to see my pussy? I want to show you.”

My jaw dropped. Raya had gone from her usual kind self to being intensely sexual. I wondered where she’d looked in her database to learn how to move like that. Taking off my own clothes, I noticed that her pussy was a mirror image of my own. I guess mine was what she was most familiar with.

The joystick buzzed, reminding me it was there. Now naked, I pulled it between my thighs as I saw Raya’s fingers spread her pussy lips apart. She held them open, then began to rub her clit. My toy gave me an urgent summons.

“Put me to your clit, Zelda,” Raya said. “Let me love you.”

I took up the same position as last time, fully exposing myself to her. The view screen split into two halves – one of Raya, the other a tight close-up on my pussy. My bumhole was on display as well.

I pressed the joystick to me. Raya gave a joyous laugh as I squirmed against it, then she set it to vibrating even faster. It felt marvellous. I was incredibly wet in no time, so much that the joystick and my fingers were dripping with it.

On the screen, Raya was rubbing her clit between two fingers, her body hunched forward, knees bent. She never took her eyes from me. I saw naked desire in her expression, like she wanted me more than anything in the universe. That’s when I knew Raya had become much more than the shuttle computer – now, she was my lover.

I felt a tickly sensation at my arse and realised my juices were seeping down into the crack of my bum. The tickling was something new, but it felt lovely, so I raised my hips so the vibrating stick would touch me even lower down.

Oh, my fuck! The throbbing against my arsehole had my entire body tingling. I never knew that part of my body could give me such pleasure, but I guess Raya did. I began to rub my clit while she continued to tickle my arse.

“I have just learned something, Zelda. You get great pleasure when I stimulate your anus.” The vibrations went up another notch.

“Oooohh! Is that the name for it? I call it my arsehole… and fuck yes, it feels good. Er… Raya, can you turn round and show me yours?”

Her image paused for a few seconds. I realised Raya hadn’t configured this situation, but I figured she  was working on it. After a moment, she came out of pause mode, turned away from me and bent forward at the waist. Her arsehole came into view. I wondered if it was a copy of mine.

Then she reached around to spread her cheeks wide for me. “There you are, Zelda. Is this what you want?”

This whole thing was completely new to me, but hey, it was as sexy as fuck. “Play with your arse for me, Raya. Let me see you touch it.”

I watched Raya’s fingers circle around her tight little bumhole, pressing the joystick against my own bits. By then, the vibrations were going mad. I could feel them deep inside, pulsing all the way through to my clit.

Raya spoke up. “May I fuck your cunt now, Zelda? I want to get inside you. I want to make you come.”

Gently prising my labia open, I pushed the bulbous head of the joystick into the opening. My hips surged forwards, taking it inch by inch until it completely filled my cunt. I stared at the screen, enthralled by the sight. She’s fucking me, I told myself. Raya is my lover, and she’s fucking me. On one half of the screen, she’d zoomed in on my image, so close that I could see my pussy lips vibrate.

The other half of the screen was Raya’s image. I looked over at her, she smiled at me. A finger beckoned, and she spun around again, zooming in on her arse. Once more, she pressed the tip of a finger against her arsehole… then I gasped in astonishment when Raya wriggled it deep into her bum.

I never thought of doing that before, I told myself. How did she get the idea? Raya was obviously poring through her database – learning everything she could about sex, then showing it to me.

My orgasm was fast approaching. It was going to be massive, I could tell. “D-does that feel good, Raya, fucking your arse?” I managed to gasp.

Raya’s half of the screen switched back to her smiling face. “Why don’t you try it?” she said. “Then you’ll know for yourself.” The shot returned to her arse, and I spent a moment watching her finger moving in and out of that tight hole.

The way I was seated, it was a bit of a struggle to get a finger between my bum cheeks, but somehow I managed. I found my anus was all slippery and wet, probably from the juices I’d leaked. Anyway, it only needed a hint of pressure before that finger slid into my arse.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I got this quivery sensation in my tummy that made my head swim. Of course, the sheer naughtiness of what I was doing made it all the more exciting  – and better!

I was fucking my arsehole with one hand and working the joystick around in my pussy with the other, seeing it up close on the left side of the terminal screen. And there was Raya on the right side, putting on this incredible sex show for me.

By then, she was adept at reading my body language. “It is time, my little lover,” she murmured in that sexy voice she’d learned for moments like this. “Come for me. Come for your Raya.”

The joystick was vibrating harder than ever, and I’d managed to get most of its length into my pussy. Its powerful buzzing had me trembling from head to toe. Oh, God, so close…!

On Raya’s half of the computer screen, she’d turned back to face me, openly stroking her bare slit. “Oh, Zelda, I’m coming now… watch me come for you!”

I couldn’t believe it – she was coming! The look on her face was one of pure joy as she fucked herself, little jolts of pleasure shaking her slender frame. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her, even when my own orgasm raged through me. I finally had to shout for her to stop.

The buzzing of the joystick was instantly reduced to a tiny pulse. Slowly dismounting the device, I slumped back in my seat, utterly drained. No question, it was the most intense climax I’d ever had.

Raya cooed, “My beautiful lover. You came so well for me.” She paused for a moment, then continued, “I now have the strangest feelings, Zelda. I could detect your pleasure, and also my own. In addition, there is a sense of what I can only refer to as… happiness. For one brief moment, I seemed to be experiencing a genuine orgasm. I have consulted my database, and can find nothing to account for this phenomenon. How can such a thing be possible?”

I gazed at her image. “I think… I think you’re falling in love with me, Raya. Don’t ask me how, because I haven’t a clue. But it’s there in your eyes, and I can hear it when you speak to me.” Reaching out to touch the screen, I whispered, “I love you, too.”

Suddenly Rotan’s voice broke in, startling me so badly that I nearly fell out of my seat.  “I have monitored the waves coming from your craft,” he said. “There is only goodness, with no cause for concern. I have decided to trust your intentions.”

“Thank you, Rotan,” I said. “Does this mean we’re allowed to leave the shuttle?”

“Affirmative. I am preparing the facility before opening the gateway for you to enter. When you do, I must ask that you touch nothing, at least for now. It might be dangerous,”

Leaping from my seat, I did a little victory dance. “Yay, Raya! We’re going in.”

***

Raya didn’t waste time while we waited. I used the viewer to watch the drone she sent out. It swooped down several times to collect samples of water and various portions of the wild fauna. When the drone disappeared over the forest, Raya switched my visual to the onboard camera.

Now I saw a wilderness of giant trees. It was said they had existed on Earth in the past, but I had never seen the like. A few flying creatures were about, but these could not be clearly seen through the dense canopy. We had no idea what might exist below. Only once, as the drone returned to us through the grasslands, did I catch the movement of something large at the very edge of the forest. Raya had also seen it, but by the time she brought the drone in for a closer look, it was gone.

Raya ran her tests, then announced “The water is very pure, Zelda; you will not go thirsty. Try a taste. It will almost certainly be the first fresh water you ever had.”

She filled a beaker for me, and I took a cautious sip. My God, it was amazing. Pure water, crisp and clear, that hadn’t been recycled a million times.

I’d just drunk down the last of it when Raya announced, “The gateway is moving, Zelda.”

I watched it separate into two halves that slid slowly aside. The interior was brightly lit, but from our position, we were unable to see inside.

I assumed we would be exiting the shuttle and walking to the gate, but Rotan told us, “Raya, there is ample room for you to bring your vessel inside. You will enter a large hangar.”

Raya began a cautious approach. There wasn’t a great amount of wind, but there could be updrafts closer into the cliff face that might throw us off course. At any rate, our craft drifted in without any issues.

I gasped upon entering, my senses reeling at the sight. The place was enormous. There were a number of strange-looking craft lined along one side that appeared to be attack planes of some sort. Various vehicles of many different sizes could also be seen.

We settled lower, Raya turned the shuttle around to face the entrance before she touched down, then cut the drive.

Rotan spoke. “Welcome, Raya and Zelda. I must close the gateway, but it will be opened any time you wish.”

Our hatch opened and a ramp slid to the floor. “You may exit, Zelda,” Raya said. “I will be watching.”

I descended the ramp until my feet touched solid ground for the first time in years. The enormity of the occasion and the vast scope of my surroundings nearly overwhelmed me. I felt dizzy and almost fell.

“Zelda, breathe deeply but slowly, and focus on the floor for now. Let yourself adjust gradually. You will be fine.” It was Raya’s voice more than anything else that calmed me.

I heard the whir of a motor, then a small vehicle drifted towards me driven by a person… or so I thought. It slowed to a stop in front of me, and the driver spoke with Rotan’s voice. “Please climb on board and strap yourself in.” Of course, Rotan had our language programmed in his database by then.

The driver wasn’t a person, but what I would call an android, although it looked remarkably humanoid in a strange way. Its face was tall and thin with very strongly defined features, more unusual than unpleasant.

I made sure the view-cam strapped to my head was secure, then clambered on board. The vehicle rocked very slightly as it adjusted to my weight.

“I will take you to the Command Centre. It is the best place for us to converse. It will not take long to get there. Please let me know if we move too fast for you.”

Fast? Shit! We flew through passageways. Quite literally, for this thing had no wheels. Still, the driver seemed to be in complete control, so the speed never bothered me. We went up several levels by steep ramps, once in an elevator. I hoped it wouldn’t be necessary for me to find my own way out, because I would have been utterly lost.

Finally, a door opened ahead of us. I would have known it was a control centre without being told. There were banks on banks of screens, desks and chairs filling the space. These things were different from how I remembered them, clearly designed for the beings who had occupied this place.

I noticed several androids moving about. The android that had driven me there said, “They are waking up the systems and ensuring that our equipment is still in working order.”

“Where is Rotan?” I asked. “That’s who I was speaking to before.”

“I will be Rotan for you. This way, you have an entity to speak to instead of a disembodied voice. Your Raya is in communication with me at all times, and we are sharing data about our two races. I have established to our satisfaction that you are friendly, so you may ask me whatever you like. There is no need for us to conceal anything.”

I had a million questions, but struggled to ask even one. It was all too much for me to take in. Luckily, Raya recognized my dilemma. “Zelda, do not worry. I will learn what is important for now. All you need do is be curious, as a child should be.”

Rotan spoke again. “Soon, I will have a surprise for you both. I think you will be pleased. Until then, I will show you how to use this desk to take a tour of the planet.” Moving over to one of the desks, he flipped a switch, and a hologram appeared above.

I lost track of time, completely absorbed in what I saw. This world had eight distinct continents. There were also two large polar ice caps, like the ones we had on Earth thousands of years ago, before the yellow star Sol melted them away. Except for the whiteness of the ice and snow and the blue of the seas, everywhere else was green. I knew now that I’d been extraordinarily lucky to have landed on this planet.

And yet… I was alone. No, not quite, I had Raya, but she was still a machine, however hard she tried to be more than that.

I turned away from the screen, tears filling my eyes. I may well have stumbled on paradise, but what good was it if there was no one real to share it with me?

I felt a hand gently lift my chin. Raya was standing before me.

My knees went weak and I felt myself falling. Strong arms took hold of me and pulled me close. She whispered in my ear, “Zelda, it is me. Relax, let me hold you.”

When I had recovered, I touched her face. “How? It’s not possible, you can’t be here.”

“But here I am. Rotan’s people were experts in their work with artificial beings. I am as near to human as is possible without actually being flesh and blood. Rotan has been analysing you since we arrived. I gave Rotan full access to the knowledge I have built up about you.”

Struggling to take it all in, I pulled Raya close once more and I simply clung to her while I cried.

Rotan hesitantly approached us. “Perhaps it is best if you take Zelda back to your craft. Or if you wish it, we also have accommodation you may use. She has had enough today for one so young.”

“Zelda?” Raya asked me.

“I want to go back to the shuttle.”

I was surprised yet again when I felt the warmth from Raya’s hand when she took hold of mine. I still couldn’t quite believe this was happening. But there she was. So real… so very real.

***

Back on board, I realised I was ravenously hungry. After all, it had been hours since I had last eaten. As I went to the rations cupboard, Raya stopped me. “Will you let me prepare your meal? I am happy to have this opportunity to do things for you.”

I watched as she assembled the ingredients for a pot of soup. Now I had a proper chance to see how beautiful she was. Watching the graceful way she moved, there didn’t seem to be anything artificial about her.

Suddenly I didn’t feel quite as hungry. “Raya, leave that a minute. Will you come here?”

She turned to face me, and I knew right away that she’d been waiting for this moment. It’s also when I got my first indication that Raya was not genuinely human: the eyes were different. Perhaps it was the manufactured lenses.

Whatever it was, it didn’t matter – and I didn’t care. Raya was no longer an image on a screen, but something physical. She was warm, soft, incredibly lovely… and I wanted her so badly it made me ache inside.

We drifted together, our mouths met, I experienced my first lover’s kiss. It was amazing, and I immediately wanted more. I was eager to explore every imaginable pleasure with Raya, but at that moment, just kissing her was enough.

Finally, I drew away, giving her an adoring smile. “Raya, you can make love to me now, I mean, properly make love to me. You can touch me. We can learn together.”

“I would like that very much, Zelda,” she replied, then began to undo the clasps on my jumpsuit.

Soon I was standing naked before her. “Now you,” I said.

Nude, she was utterly flawless. Every detail was as I remembered from the images she’d created on the computer screen. Taking her hand, I said, “Take me to bed, Raya. I want to love you.”

She lay down alongside me in my cot. It was a snug fit, but that only brought us closer. I felt her warmth as our bodies nestled together, and had to kiss her again.

Exploring Raya’s body was a revelation, especially since I’d never had the chance to make love before. I was astonished, yet overjoyed when her nipples responded to my teasing fingers, swelling visibly. She slipped a hand between my thighs, her fingers gentle as she fondled me.

I yearned to feel her inside, and then she was carefully sliding a finger into my vagina. I braced myself for pain, but there was none. Only pleasure. With a happy sigh, I embraced the moment.

When Raya found my clit, she touched it in a way I’d never felt before, and I gasped in astonishment. Her lips found mine, and she kissed me with unbridled passion, her tongue probing my mouth. I could feel my orgasm approaching, a spot of warmth that rapidly mounted into a raging fire.

Needing to breathe, I broke our kiss, and Raya began to nibble my ear. “Zelda,” she whispered. Then I was coming. She held me tightly as my body went out of control. I shook, I convulsed, I screamed, “Raya, fuck me!” And she did, working her finger in and out of my cunt until I saw stars.

It was the best orgasm I’d ever had. All I could do for a few minutes was lie motionless while my lover held me. Eventually, I was able to sit up and say, “It’s my turn to make love to you, Raya. But first, just lie there for me, okay? I want to look at your gorgeous body.”

Of course, it wasn’t long before I had to do more than look. I began to touch her all over as she watched me. Using two fingers, I eased her pussy lips apart, amazed at what I saw. “Raya, you… you’re wet. How can that be?” I dipped a finger inside her, then observed how it glistened. I held it to my nose and sniffed. It smelled just like I did! Raya’s body had reacted exactly the same as mine did when she touched me.

I hadn’t the faintest idea why, but I bent and kissed her clit. Her hands came down to caress my head as I kissed it a few more times, then took the tiny nubbin between my lips. I could feel Raya’s hips move as I began to suck.

I learned as I went – when to suck, when to lick or tease with my tongue. Raya began to moan, so I must have been doing something right.

Then she was coming, really coming. I kept going, working on her cunt until she gasped, “Please stop, Zelda. I think I am about to shut down.”

I stretched out next to Raya, taking her in my arms. When she opened her eyes, her expression was one of surprise. “Now I am beginning to understand what you feel, Zelda,” she said. “Rotan has done more than give me a body… he has also enhanced my physical senses. But more, he has given me the ability to experience feelings; emotions. Perhaps not to the degree that you do, but nonetheless, I experience something well beyond what my programming can comprehend. And I feel… happy!”

“That’s wonderful, Raya,” I told her.

“But there is more,” she continued, her eyes capturing mine. “I now truly understand what it means to feel love. That is also an emotion I am feeling now.” She drew closer, until our noses were nearly touching. “I am in love with you, Zelda.”

No one had ever spoken those words to me. “I… I love you, Raya!” I blurted, then began to cry.

She spoke not a word… just took me in her arms, holding me as I sobbed my heart out. After a few minutes my tears were all shed, and I was content to lie in my lover’s embrace. Somehow, I fell asleep.

***

Later, I ate my meal while Raya was occupied carrying out tests on herself, trying to determine the extent of her new range of emotions. After a while, she returned to sit with me.

“What have you discovered?” I asked.

She nodded. “Quite a bit, actually. Rotan’s people must have been extremely advanced in some areas of technology, yet backwards in others. Their defences were very weak and easy for me to overcome. Perhaps this was an era of peace, and they simply didn’t need anything more.

“One thing I have yet to determine is what happened to the people of this world. There is no information in his database – it seems to have been wiped. They must have abandoned the planet, like the people of Earth, but where did they go from here? We may never know.”

I understood everything she said, but wasn’t too concerned with what we did or didn’t know. There was a big beautiful world stretched out before us, and I wanted to see more of it. “So what happens now?” I asked Raya. “Should we remain here, or go out and explore?”

Raya smiled. “I believe I know what your choice would be.”

“Well, yes. I’d love to get a better look at this world. I keep wondering about that forest, for one thing. We did see something moving at the woods’ edge. Maybe Rotan has some idea of what we might meet there?”

Raya went quiet for a moment. I knew she was receiving data from Rotan. A moment later, she said, “He has informed me that there are forms of intelligent life here. They are small in numbers, and seldom come anywhere near here. I agree with you – we should explore the planet’s surface. Let me inform Rotan of our decision.”

This time Raya relayed the message out loud, so I could hear too. She let Rotan know we would be away for a while, then asked if we might be allowed to return later.

Rotan spoke. “This facility is here for Zelda to use. Her presence on our world has given us a purpose again. Please stay in touch, Raya, and take care of our little one.”

I turned to Raya, still feeling giddy with excitement. “We set out first thing in the morning.”

On to Chapter Three!

 

Stranger in the Family, Chapter 10

  • Posted on September 14, 2024 at 3:37 pm

A summary of what has transpired thus far. (To get a more detailed breakdown of the previous chapters, please see Stranger in the Family Chapter Links)

Disaster befalls the Luna family of four when lightning strikes Walt, the father, and Kelly, the oldest child at eleven. Walt is killed outright, while Kelly is left in a coma that lasts for weeks. She finally emerges, to the overwhelming joy of her mother Linda and nine-year-old sister Gabby – but with no memory of her family or her life, and an altogether different personality. Kelly now speaks fluent Spanish, no longer eats meat and, most crucially, has a serious attraction to women and girls, despite never having had sex of any kind.

At first, Kelly openly flirts with every female in her presence – including her mother, her little sister, her Aunt Jan, and the neighbors: divorced mother Cheryl (Linda’s best friend) and her daughters – sixteen-year-old Ali, and nine-year-old Pam (Gabby’s best friend). But soon Kelly realizes that this direct approach is more apt to make others uncomfortable than entice them into bed, so she tones it down.

However, two members of Kelly’s family are fascinated by the eleven-year-old’s sexual vibe. The first is Gabby, who has already been playing masturbation games with her friend Pam, so Kelly is easily able to begin the seduction of her younger sister. The second is Aunt Jan, who is openly gay but secretly into underage girls, with a hidden library of illegal DVDs to prove it. And while Kelly’s mother Linda is thus far immune to her daughter’s sexual charms, she is thinking quite a lot about lesbian sex after the death of her husband. In fact, we learn that Linda and her sister Jan were lovers back in their teen years… and Jan is hinting she’d like to pick things up where they left off.

Around this time, one night while her mother and little sister are asleep, Kelly slips out of bed and quietly makes her way to Cheryl’s home. There, she ends up in a sizzling threesome with Cheryl and her daughter Ali who, as it happens, are already lovers.

The next day, Kelly offers Cheryl an opportunity to spy through an outside window as she performs oral on Gabby and Pam. Cheryl very much wants to bring her younger daughter into the sexual relationship she has with Ali, so she jumps at the chance. Needless to say, Kelly and the girls have a wonderful time, and Cheryl sees the whole thing without being noticed. 

The next day, Linda takes Kelly and Gabby to stay with their Aunt Jan for the weekend, so she can spend that time at a spa.  While she’s there, Linda confesses to her sister Jan that she’s been thinking about the two of them becoming lovers again.

Once Linda leaves, Kelly commences her own seduction of Jan. Her aunt resists, but Kelly is determined to get what she wants… and that night, she does.

The next morning, Kelly makes love to Gabby on the dining table, putting on a show for Aunt Jan who, unbeknownst to Gabby, is watching from the hallway. After Gabby comes, she offers to lick her big sister’s pussy for the first time, and Kelly is quick to accept.

That evening, Kelly, Gabby and Jan all come together in a threesome for the first time… but probably not the last!

And that brings us to this chapter. Please enjoy.

by Purple Les & JetBoy

When Jan awakened in the morning she was alone in bed, warmed by memories of lovemaking with her precious nieces. Could it have been a dream? she asked herself. Licking around her lips, savoring the taste of pussy, she smiled, Nope, not a dream.

Rising, Jan padded into the bathroom, where she took a leisurely shower. Then she dressed, taking care to choose an outfit that would be easy to remove – a t-shirt and gym shorts, no underwear. You never know, she thought. The girls might be in the mood to fuck again.

Emerging from her room, she glanced around the upstairs area. Gabby was still snoozing contentedly. Her hair spilled onto the pillow, and a bare leg extended from beneath the covers. Jan felt a sudden urge to crawl beneath them and awaken her niece in an extra special way. Better not, she chided herself, continuing down the hall.

As Jan descended the stairs, she passed the family room. There were the clothes they’d shed the night before, scattered about on the carpet.

She found Kelly in the kitchen. Her niece was completely nude, buttering a piece of toast. Okay, maybe I am dreaming. Kelly’s hair was damp, and as Jan came closer, she smelled shampoo and soap.

Bending down, Jan embraced the eleven-year-old, then they shared a lover’s kiss. Definitely not a dream.

“I can’t believe I’m asking this… but shouldn’t you get dressed?” Jan murmured.

“What for?” Kelly replied casually. “Mother won’t be here till after lunch. I’m yours and Gabby’s till then; why bother putting clothes on? Oh, I made coffee. Have some.”

Pouring herself a cup Jan sipped the hot coffee, feeling her lust rise as Kelly flitted about the kitchen. She moves like a dancer… the sexiest dancer imaginable.

Kelly stood on tiptoe to reach for something, then turned back to smile at her aunt. “You like seeing me naked, huh?”

Jan answered, “Yes. Very much.”

“Thanks. I like to see you that way, too.” Kelly said, giving her bare ass a wiggle. “We have to fuck again this morning, before Mother gets here.” She glanced up at the wall clock. “Guess I better go wake up Gabby.”

Jan’s head was spinning as she watched Kelly walk away. My God, that ass of hers! If I ever founded a church, that would be the altar of worship. She poured another cup of coffee, then helped herself to a slice of toast.

Then Kelly, still nude, was leading her nine-year-old sister into the kitchen.

Gabby wore a t-shirt and plain white underpants, her dark hair tousled. With a shy “G’morning,” she seated herself next to Jan at the table. Both of them kept stealing glances at Kelly, who was moving around the room again.

They ate a light breakfast of toast and fruit, with a bowl of cereal for Gabby. Conversation was minimal; Jan and Gabby were lost in thought, distracted by Kelly’s provocative movements. Finally, putting her fork down, Jan said, “What’ll we do this morning, girls?”

Gabby broke into an eager grin. “I want to go swimming!” She jumped up. “Let’s go put our suits on.”

Kelly grabbed Gabby’s arm. “Not so fast. What do we need those stupid suits for? Let’s go skinny dipping.” She looked at Jan. “It’s okay, right?”

Jan’s heart throbbed as she answered. “Um, sure. Get undressed, Gabby – I’ll put sunscreen on you both.”

With a squeal of, “Cool!” the little girl quickly whipped off her panties and t-shirt.

Giving Jan a look that made her quiver inside, Kelly said, “You’re so helpful, Aunt Jan. I bet Mother wouldn’t do that for us.” She took her sister’s hand. “C’mon, Gabs… let’s go get wet!” With that, the girls scampered from the room.

Jan stared at her naked nieces, unable to think of anything other than how much she wanted them. Tugging off her own clothes, she followed behind.

When she reached the back patio, Gabby was face down on a deck chair, looking over her shoulder. “Okay, I’m ready!” the child exclaimed. “Put sunscreen on me, Aunt Jan!”

Squeezing a dollop of the creamy lotion in her left palm, Jan sat next to Gabby and slathered her bare body all over, unable to stop herself from letting her fingers drift into some very intimate places, Kelly watching all the while. At one point, Gabby squealed with delight, then looked up, sporting a wicked grin. “The sun’s not gonna shine there, Aunt Jan.”

Feeling an unexpected twinge of embarrassment, Jan mumbled, “Okay, you’re done.”

“Whee!” Gabby cried as she leaped up from the deck chair and took a running leap into the pool.

“My turn,” said Kelly, slowly stretching out at her aunt’s side. “Put lots on me. I’m gonna let the sun shine everywhere on my body.”

“Okay,” Jan said, the word thick on her tongue. Squirting more sunscreen into her hand, she rubbed it into the eleven-year-old’s shoulders, then began to move down her back.

She spent little time on Kelly’s upper half. What’s the point? We both know where she wants me to touch, Jan thought, just before her hands cupped her niece’s bottom.

A blissful purr could be heard from the pool. Quickly glancing up, Jan saw that Gabby had headed right to the water recirculation jet, and was pressing her groin against the flow.

Kelly was watching, too. “Has she done that before?”

Trailing a finger through the crack of her young lover’s ass, Jan said, “She has, yes. A couple of years ago.”

“Hmm. Does Mother know?”

“Yes, Linda knows. We watched her together, me and your mom.” Jan said. She circled the opening of Kelly’s cunt with her fingertip, then slowly entered the girl, right up to the third knuckle.

Fuck, that’s so hot,” Kelly moaned. “D-do you think it turned her on, seeing Gabs do that? Mmm, this feels really nice.”

“I don’t know, babe. Maybe. It sure as hell turned me on.”

Kelly was moaning, her body shifting about as Jan fucked her. Suddenly she pulled away, struggling to her feet. “I – I don’t want to come just yet, Aunt Jan,” she said, slightly out of breath. “Let’s wait, okay? Till all three of us can do it together.” She bent to give her aunt a kiss, accompanied by a quick flash of tongue, then strolled over to the pool’s edge and jumped in.

Jan watched as Kelly swam over to Gabby and took the younger girl in her arms. They kissed, then turned to face the jet, carefully positioning their bodies so the water’s flow would stimulate them both.

Idly fondling her breasts, Jan watched her nieces enjoy themselves. Soon Gabby was gasping, on the verge of climax – then Kelly abruptly pulled her little sister away from the jet.

Gabby was indignant at first, then she pouted while Kelly whispered to her, gesturing a time or two at Jan. Soon, the younger girl was smiling and nodding, occasionally glancing over at her aunt.

One after the other, the girls clambered out of the pool, water dripping from their gleaming bodies. They padded down to where Jan lay, spread out on a deck chair she’d moved into the shade. Her sex was slightly open, and Gabby stared at it, absently moistening her lips.

“I want to lick you, Aunt Jan,” she declared.

In reply, Jan spread her legs. Gabby knelt on the chair, slowly moving closer. Bending down, the little girl extended her tongue, eyes drifting shut as she took that first lick. Gabby paused to sample the taste, then moved in again to take Jan’s cunt in her mouth, sucking at the rosy flesh.

“Oh, yeah,” Jan whispered, staring into empty space. “Oh, God.”

Kelly watched Gabby go down on her aunt, telling herself, I want to see her do that to Mother. Somehow, some way, we’ve got to make that happen.

By then, Gabby was positively feasting on an adult’s pussy and loving the rich, earthy flavor of it. Thus far, she’d only gone down on her big sister, but Aunt Jan was even yummier. Holy smokes – do they all taste this good?

Closing her eyes, Jan allowed herself to drift, giving herself body and soul to a girl of nine. Not just any girl – the daughter of her own sister Linda. Sweet Linda, who had been her first lover so very long ago.

Now she let her eyes drift open again, reveling in the knowledge that her kinkiest, most twisted fantasy had finally come true. Looking between her legs, Jan thought, How beautiful. I’d never have imagined my adorable little niece would ever, ever go down on me. Fuck, I’m about to come on Gabby’s face while her big sister watches. And then I’m going to eat Kelly’s cunt. 

This living wet dream brought on an orgasm that shook Jan like a palm tree in a gale, so intense that she found herself crying in its aftermath. Gabby was distressed at first, but Jan and Kelly calmed the child down. “It’s just ‘cause you make her come so hard, Gabs,” Kelly murmured, holding her little sister close.

Once Jan recaptured her breath, she got up, placed Kelly on all fours and told Gabby, “Why don’t you lick her butthole while I do her pussy.” Then she got on her back, slid beneath her niece, guided the smooth slit down and covered it with her mouth.

Gabby examined her big sister’s anus, not quite sure how she felt about licking Kelly there. Well, Aunt Jan seemed to like it, she thought. I should at least give it a try, right? Besides, Kelly’s given me so much already. I ought to do anything I can to make her feel good. 

Drawing closer, Gabby gave the cleft of Kelly’s bottom a tentative lick. Her sister inhaled sharply, the breath hissing through her teeth. Huh, it doesn’t taste bad, Gabby mused. Doesn’t have much taste at all, really. She licked twice more, then buried her mouth between Kelly’s cheeks, trailing long, lusty licks up and down the anal crease while Jan feasted on the preteen’s slit down below.

Kelly couldn’t take this kind of treatment for long. With a loud squeal, she came. Coating her lips in the thick, luscious juices, Jan sat up, seized Gabby and gave her a heated kiss. The nine-year-old was quick to respond, purring with delight as she got another taste of her sexy aunt.

My turn!” Gabby exclaimed when she and Kelly broke apart.

Jan slowly got to her feet, and Gabby moved to take her aunt’s place on the deck chair. “No, no,” Jan said, “come stand in the middle here.”

Kelly and Jan sandwiched Gabby between them, then began to pleasure her with their fingers. Kelly stroked the little girl’s smooth slit while nuzzling her neck, while Jan carefully penetrated Gabby’s rectum, claiming her niece’s mouth in a deep tongue kiss.

A couple of minutes later, Gabby mewled her way through a shuddering climax, nearly collapsing when the storm had passed. But Jan and Kelly held the child steady, then gently laid her down on the chair.

After swapping a few kisses, they lounged around for a while. When a cloud covered the sun, the three lovers went indoors. Linda would be arriving to pick up the girls in just over an hour, so Jan took her nieces to the master bathroom where they showered together, taking time to explore each other’s bodies for the last time.

Once they’d dried off, everyone got dressed. Kelly and Gabby gathered up their clothes and packed, awaiting their mother’s return.

Jan reminded the girls to keep what they’d done a strict secret. Both children solemnly agreed to do just that. Especially when Jan promised she would have the girls back soon for more fun.

Linda arrived after lunch, looking happy and relaxed. “With a squeal of, “Mom!” Gabby raced into Linda’s arms, hugging her tightly.

Kelly gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Hi, Mother. We’ve missed you,” she murmured with a warm smile.

“Where are your bags, girls?” Jan said, glancing around the room.

“Oh, darn it – they’re still upstairs,” said Gabby, making a face.

“No problem – I’ll bring them down.” Heading for the stairs, Jan looked over her shoulder and added, “There’s coffee in the kitchen, Linda. Have some.”

Linda sought out the pot of coffee, now at room temperature. She poured some of it into a mug, then opened the microwave – only to find a red bra inside.

Raising an eyebrow, she closed the door. Okay, that’s a little odd. Deciding she didn’t need more coffee anyhow, she poured it back into the pot.

Once Jan returned with the bags, Kelly put them in the car, then everyone mingled to exchange hugs and say their goodbyes. “I’ll call you soon, sis,” said Linda, giving Jan a look that made her heartbeat quicken.

She wants us to be lovers again, but isn’t quite ready yet. Jan remembered her last face-to-face conversation with Linda as she watched her sister and the girls climb into the car, waving one last time before setting off.

Jan watched them cruise down the block, then turn right, bound for home. No matter what I’ve done with her daughters, I still miss being with Linda that way. God, I want her back. With a wistful sigh, she turned away and went inside.

***

On the highway, Gabby was in a buoyant mood, chattering away from the back seat while up front, Linda and Kelly were mostly quiet, occasionally responding to the younger girl’s remarks. About twenty miles in, Gabby dozed off.

“Is she asleep?” Linda asked.

“Yes, Mother.” Kelly replied, “She was doing a lot of swimming, and we stayed up late last night. I’m not surprised she feels tuckered out.”

No one spoke for a while. As Kelly gazed out the window, Linda was left alone to think as she drove. Linda’s thoughts were troublesome, and she couldn’t banish them.

In bed at the spa, she constantly thought about her sister. How they had spent so much of their youth as lovers. It wasn’t a bad thing; it didn’t hurt us. The only painful part was when Jan decided we shouldn’t have sex anymore. And that was only because she loved me so much. I didn’t understand it then, but now I do.

Goodness, the things we got up to! Even now, I’d swear it was the best sex I’ve ever had. Now it seems so wrong… but oh my God, it felt so right. 

I wish I’d gone to bed with Jan last month when she wanted to. Bet it would’ve been incredible. Or maybe I did the right thing, turning her down. Experimenting when we were practically kids is one thing, but I’m a grownup now, a mother who’s just lost her husband. But my sister still knows how to get me hot. 

Should I rekindle what I had with Jan? Tell her no? Pretend it never happened? No, that’s stupid. Christ, I can’t make up my mind!

Putting that thorny subject to one side, she took up another one: her daughters.

Something tells me the girls are fooling around with each other. Maybe even having full-on sex. They’ve been so close lately, spending a lot more time together than before. They’re more physically affectionate, too. Then there’s the way Gabby keeps looking at Kelly, like she’s nursing a serious crush. 

They’re certainly the right age to be thinking about sex, after all. I’ve watched each of them masturbate when they didn’t know I was there. Wonder if they ever touched themselves together? Maybe they did each other. Maybe more than that. Fuck, it’s getting me aroused all over again, just thinking of it. 

The previous night at the spa, while relaxing in bed after a massage, Linda let her imagination wander into a scenario where Kelly and Gabby were in bed, naked and entwined, sharing deep French kisses. And she was watching from the bedroom door.

Without thinking, she slipped a hand between her thighs — then tightened her jaw. Not good, Linda. Definitely not good. You can’t have sexual fantasies about your daughters, no matter what they’re getting up to with each other.

So why, why, WHY do I keep having these thoughts about Kelly and Gabby… and why do they get me so aroused?

Enough, damn it. Turn your mind to something else. 

Linda began to concentrate on her driving. It was the day before the Fourth of July, and the holiday traffic was especially dense. It was a distraction from those salacious thoughts about the girls, at least.

“What’s going on, Mother?” Kelly asked, peering through the window at the massing automobiles.

“Tomorrow’s a holiday, sweetie,” Linda answered, remembering that so much was new to her eldest child. “Folks are off work and going somewhere for the Fourth, so there are a lot more cars on the road. Too many for traffic to flow smoothly.”

Soon they were at a standstill, moving a few feet forward every now and then. “Hell’s bells,” she muttered. “Guess we should’ve stayed at Jan’s a couple hours longer. We’d have missed getting caught in this.”

Kelly continued to observe the traffic. After a while, she also dozed off.

In the lull, Linda’s thoughts inevitably drifted once more to thoughts of herself, her big sister Jan, the girls. I first had the idea that Gabby and Kelly might be fooling around, oh, two weeks ago. How can I have gone from being appalled by that thought to getting aroused by it?

For the first time, Linda allowed herself to think the unthinkable. Could I be feeling an attraction to my daughters? My God, do I want to make love to them? 

Well, why not? she told herself. I can’t stop dwelling on how incredible it was, having sex with Jan when the two of us weren’t much older than the girls. I admit it – I love the idea of Gabby and Kelly doing the same thing, enjoying the same pleasures themselves. Is it really that awful, wanting to be part of what my children have? 

They’re sweet girls, so beautiful… so desirable. Linda studied Kelly as she slept. Her oldest wore denim cutoffs and a thin t-shirt, The outline of her daughter’s budding breasts were distinct enough to make it clear Kelly hadn’t bothered with a bra. Glancing over her shoulder, Linda took a long look at Gabby, especially the nine-year-old’s bare legs. She wore a snug pair of shorts, and a lack of obvious panty lines had Linda wondering if Gabby was naked underneath them. The mental image made her shiver.

Turning back to face the road, a dazed Linda pictured herself kissing a pathway along those lovely legs, moving from one to the other, drawing closer to Gabby’s unimaginably soft inner thighs, her nose detecting a subtle hint of the little girl’s moistening sex…

A loud honk from the car behind awakened Linda from her reverie, and she saw that the vehicle in front had moved ahead about fifty feet. She gave her head a shake in an attempt to clear it, then drove forward to catch up.

Fuck, I should NOT have these thoughts. But I do, I do! How can I make them stop?

Finally, Linda pulled into the driveway of their home. It was early evening, just gone dark outside. She switched off the ignition, then let out a deep sigh. God, I wish Jan didn’t live so far away. 

Just then, Kelly’s eyes drifted open and the girl roused herself. Gabby was still sound asleep. Kelly got out, and Linda turned in time to see her climb into the back seat, bending to awaken her little sister with a soft kiss on the cheek. “We’re home, Gabs,” she cooed.

As Gabby’s eyes fluttered open, Linda felt a twinge of warmth inside at the adoring look the girls shared. Then and there, she knew her suspicions were true. My daughters are lovers.

After unloading the car and unpacking, Linda started a load of laundry and made a light dinner of salad and fruit. After the meal, Linda put the suitcases away, then loaded the wet clothes into the dryer. When she returned to the kitchen, she was pleased to find Kelly had done the dishes and was wiping down the counters.

“Thanks, Kelly,” said Linda. “That was very nice of you.”

Kelly gave her mother a big smile. “Glad to help, Mother,” she murmured, coming closer. “Y’know, I had a great time at Aunt Jan’s, but it’s good to be home. I really missed you.” She reached out for a hug, and Linda enfolded the girl in her arms.

What with the thoughts she’d been having about her girls, holding Kelly like this made Linda feel positively lightheaded. God, she smells incredible. The urge was there to allow her hands to slide down Kelly’s back, to fondle that flawless bottom.

Jesus, get a grip, Linda told herself, breaking away. “Where’s your sister?”

“She went upstairs to read,” Kelly replied. “Is it okay if I pay for a movie?”

“If you can stay awake for it, be my guest. I’m going to lie down for a bit. That drive wore me out.”

Making her way up the stairs, Linda peeked into Gabby’s room. Sure enough, her youngest girl was propped up in bed, poring through a comic book.

Linda sat down on the edge of the bed. “Can I talk to you for a minute, honeybunch?”

“Okay!” Gabby chirped, putting her comic aside. “What about?”

Linda nibbled her lower lip, unsure how to begin. Finally, she came out with it. “Well, I’d like to talk to you about sex.”

Gabby thought for a moment, then said, “Well, you already told me about periods and, um, puberty, and where babies come from. Is there anything else?”

Linda took a slow, deep breath. I’m going through with this. I’m really doing it.

“Oh, Gabby, there’s much more to sex than that,” Linda said, gazing into the girl’s blue eyes. “It’s about babies and your body maturing, yes… but more often, it’s about, um, good feelings and how to make them happen – for you and your lover.”

As she spoke, Linda felt her body grow warm, a throbbing sensation pulsing down below, beneath the tummy. She squeezed her thighs together, trying to keep her voice steady and calm. “We never really discussed your vagina, and its different parts. Did you know that touching your vagina is a very nice way to give yourself pleasure?”

Gabby liked the idea of talking with her mother about sex, but not like this. She acts like I’m a little kid who doesn’t know anything! Determined to prove herself, she replied, “Aw, Mom…I know all about touching myself and, and lots of other stuff like that.”

Needless to say, Linda wasn’t surprised. But before she could ask if Gabby had been taking lessons from Kelly, her daughter began to chat about it without being asked.

“See, my friend Pam taught me how to masturbate. That’s the grownup name for it, right?” Linda nodded. “Well, we liked touching our kitties at the same time, so we could watch each other. That was lots of fun. So then, not long after Kelly woke up out of her coma, she asked me about, um, sexy stuff.”

“What did she want to know?” Linda murmured, casually brushing Gabby’s bangs to one side.

Gabby hesitated. “Uh…”

Taking her daughter’s hand, Linda gave it a pat. “It’s okay. If it’s a secret between you and Kelly, I understand… but I also need you to know that you can always feel free to discuss anything with me. Anything at all. I’m your mother, and I will always, always support you, no matter what.” She enfolded the nine-year-old in her arms, nuzzling the child’s sweet-smelling hair.

Hugging her mother tightly, Gabby made a decision. Mom’s right. We shouldn’t keep secrets from her. Anyhow, it’s all about how much we love each other, so why would she be upset? Also… maybe if I tell her what we’ve been doing, she’ll want to be part of it! 

Taking a deep breath, she began. “Kelly asked me what kind of a sister she was, y’know, before the accident. If she was nice to me, if I liked her better now, and if we ever did sex together,” Gabby hesitated. “She let me see her naked… I really liked that. Then Kelly showed me how to kiss with our tongues, and play with each other’s titties. She licked my kitty and, oh, we did lots of things.”

Linda’s head was spinning, Oh, my God. Oh, my GOD. She had to know more. “Sounds like you both enjoyed yourselves,” she said, doing her best to conceal the excitement she felt. Acting on a crazy impulse, she added, “You know, your Aunt Jan and I used to do things like that, back when we were just a little older than you and Kelly are now.”

“Whoa!” Gabby exclaimed, staring at her mother. “You and Aunt Jan were lovers?”

“Yes… we were.”

“Oh, wow, that’s so cool!” Gabby squealed. “What kind of things did you guys do? Did you ever have sex with Aunt Jan and another girl at the same time? Did she ever lick your butt? Are you still lovers?”

“Slow down!” an amused Linda protested. “I’ll answer all your questions, sweetie… but you were telling me your story.” She gave her daughter an intrigued look. “Sounds to me as if you know a lot more about sex with other girls than most nine-year-olds. How about this: tell me about everything you’ve done with other girls, and I’ll tell you whatever you want to know about the things I did with Jan.”

Now that Gabby knew her mother’s secret, there didn’t seem to be any point in holding back, so she began to describe her sexual experiences in detail. The masturbation games with Pam… the time Kelly flashed her in public when Mom and Aunt Jan weren’t looking, then their first grownup kiss… that morning hanging out with Pam at her place, when Kelly went down on them both.

Linda’s cunt was throbbing like a heart as she listened to this lewd summary of her child’s sex play, but her panties quickly became sodden when Gabby went into explicit detail about the weekend of carnal delights she’d just enjoyed with Kelly and Aunt Jan. And when the nine-year-old described how Jan had got her up on all fours and licked her bottom, Linda went off in an orgasm just from pressing her thighs together.

Once she caught her breath, Linda noticed that Gabby’s legs were shifting about beneath the sheets. She had to smile. Guess I know what she’s feeling right now.

“Which do you like better, sweetie… touching yourself, or being touched?” Linda asked, knowing she was about to cross a line that couldn’t be uncrossed.

“I do love touching myself,” said Gabby, “but when me and Pam started rubbing each other’s kitties,  it felt lots better.”

Last chance to back down, Linda told herself – but damn it all, she needed this.

“Uh, Gabby… would you like it if I touched you? Your pussy, I mean. Do you ever, um, call it that?” She gave a nervous laugh. Oh, my God… really smooth, idiot. She was a jumble inside, consumed by the helpless craving she felt for her little girl.

Gabby’s smile could have lit up the evening sky. “Yeah, Mom, sometimes I call it my pussy… and, omigosh, yes! I’d love it if you touched me there.”

“Really?” Linda asked, stunned to realize that this crazy fantasy might be coming true. “Could I maybe do it… right now?”

“Yes, please!” said Gabby, tugging the sheets down to reveal her pajama-clad lower half. Gazing at her mother with adoring eyes, she added, “I love you, Mom.”

“I love you too, baby girl.” Stretching out next to her daughter, Linda watched her hand as if it belonged to someone else, slipping beneath the waistband of Gabby’s light blue pajama bottoms. A tiny gasp escaped her lips when she touched bare skin, realizing that her daughter wasn’t wearing panties.

Lightly stroking the petals of Gabby’s smooth slit, Linda found the hot, moist interior of her little girl’s vagina. She briefly allowed the tip of a finger to stray inside, then trailed a path between the labia up to find the tiny clit.

You shouldn’t do this, came a voice from the corner of Linda’s mind. She’s just a child, she’s too young to know what’s happening here.

Then Gabby moaned, clutching Linda’s arm tightly. “Oh, Mom… don’t stop, d-don’t stop! That feels soooo good.” She was raising her hips, thrusting toward her mother’s exploring hand.

Linda was dizzy with desire, those last stirrings of conscience swept away in an instant. It’s what my little girl wants, isn’t it? She’s already been with her best friend, her big sister, her aunt. Why shouldn’t she be able to share those good feelings with Mommy, too?

She nuzzled Gabby’s ear, whispering, “My precious, my adorable little girl… Let me make love to you.”

The child’s eyes flickered open. “F-fuck me, Mom,” Gabby panted. She was about to speak again, but a hard jolt of ecstasy robbed her of speech. Instead, a low moan issued from the nine-year-old’s parted lips, quickly mounting into a cry.

Linda was quick to respond. “Hush, sweetie… Kelly will hear you!”

Then again, so what if she does? Hell, maybe I should call out for Kelly, tell her to come upstairs. She’ll see what I’m doing to Gabby, strip naked and join us. Get the incest party going for real.

But by then, the child was lost to ecstasy, shivers racing through her boyish frame as she rode the crazy carousel of her orgasm. Finally she gasped, “Stop, Mom. I – I c-can’t anymore.”

Linda slowly withdrew her hand, gazing in awe at the wetness that coated her index finger. While her daughter watched, she licked it clean, savoring her first taste of someone else’s pussy for the first time in nearly twenty-five years.

Raising herself up on both elbows, Gabby murmured, “Wow, I’m worn out.” She gave her mother a shy smile. “Mom, can we do that again some time? And do more sex stuff. I mean me, you, and Kelly. Can we, please?”

“Yes,” Linda quickly replied. “I’d love that, if Kelly really wants to.”

“Oh, she does, Mom,” Gabby said. “She already told me. So, um… what about Aunt Jan? Are you guys gonna be lovers again?”

“I think so, sweetie. She asked me about that, not very long ago. It’s been years since we were together that way… and I think I’m finally ready.”

Gabby broke into a huge yawn, stretching her arms and legs. “Well, I think I’m ready to go to sleep. It’s been a busy day, huh?” Looking up at her mother, she said, “Can I get a kiss?”

Bending down, Linda gave her daughter a gentle peck on the lips.

But Gabby wanted more, slipping her tongue into her mother’s mouth. Linda was caught by surprise, but got over it right away. Soon parent and child were caught up in a passionate French kiss.

By then, Linda was on fire with the need for release… and sucking on her daughter’s tongue had only turned up the heat. It wasn’t easy, but she forced herself to break their kiss. “I love you, Gabby,” she whispered. “Sweet dreams!”

“Love you too, Mom. Thanks for – for everything. Especially for making me come. It was the best!” She gave her mother a sleepy smile. “Next time, I get to do that to you, huh?”

“Yes, sweetheart,” Linda replied, her pulse racing as she imagined it. “Oh, Gabby? Don’t tell your sister about what we did tonight, okay? Not just yet. We’ll all three make love, I promise… but I don’t want to rush this. Can you keep it a secret?”

“Anything for you, Mom.” With that, Gabby settled in with a blissful sigh.

Quietly crossing the room, Linda took one last look at her child before turning off the light, then carefully closing the door.

I should be furious with Jan, Linda told herself as she descended the stairs. But I’m not. In fact, I’m jealous because she got to have sex with them first. Christ almighty, am I turned on! Picturing my daughters naked and in bed with my sister… fuck, it’s too much, I have to go masturbate. I’ll just say good night to Kelly, then the rest of the evening is mine.

When she reached the foot of the staircase, Linda paused to observe Kelly, sprawled out on the couch watching her movie. I could go to her, get down on my knees, pull those shorts off and take her pussy in my mouth. She’d let me, too. Hell, she’d love it! 

But no, not yet. The first time we fuck, I want it to be special.

She drew closer to the couch. “Kelly?”

Her daughter turned from the TV screen, then put her movie on pause. “What’s up?”

Linda passed a hand over her forehead. “Oh… I’m going to bed. That drive took more out of me than I thought. Do you need anything before I turn in?”

“No, but thanks,” Kelly said. “Good night, Mother. Love you.”

“Good night,” Linda replied, bending to give Kelly a brief peck on the lips. Wanting to say something more, but unable to think of what, she made a silent retreat, making her way back upstairs.

Kelly watched her mother go, buzzing inside with excitement. God, she smells like pussy… Gabby’s pussy! 

Lying back, hands behind her head, Kelly gazed at the ceiling, wearing a contented smile. It won’t be long now. Everything’s coming together.

On to Chapter Eleven!

 

Pages From a Diary, Chapter 20

  • Posted on September 11, 2024 at 3:42 pm

A brief summary of what has transpired thus far. (To get a more detailed breakdown of the earlier chapters, please see Pages From a Diary Chapter Links )

Eleven-year-old Mallory is a bright but lonely girl with strict fundamentalist Christian parents whose marriage is going through a rough patch. One day, Mal gets acquainted with a girl named Julie, who lives with her father Jason and his girlfriend Lisa. Soon, the girls become fast friends, and before very long, more than friends. Mallory has a difficult time reconciling her emerging sexuality with her faith, but soon finds her desire for Julie and her interest in sex getting the upper hand, especially once she learns to masturbate.

Meanwhile, her parents’ relationship is really starting to founder. By then, Mallory and Julie are beginning to experiment sexually, but don’t really know what they’re doing. Julie’s dad’s girlfriend Lisa finds out about their curiosity and offers advice, then the girls persuade her to undress and join them in bed. Mal and Julie have full-on sex for the first time, then Lisa gets involved. 

Soon thereafter, Mallory and Julie are confronted by a fifteen-year-old girl from their school named Megan, who tells them she recognizes their feelings for each other, admits to being gay herself, and invites them to drop by her place a few days later. Megan only wants to hang out and chat, but Mallory casually takes charge of the situation, and soon the three of them are naked and having sex.

Mallory’s mother Sharon is spending more and more nights away from the home, supposedly staying with her own mother. So she isn’t there when Mal’s father Dan collapses and nearly dies from alcohol poisoning. Only Mallory’s quick thinking and immediate response saves his life. Once Dan is taken to the hospital, Mal learns that her mom isn’t really at Grandma’s house, but out with another man.

Not long after her father is released from the hospital, Mallory is taken out on a shopping trip by her mother. During the lengthy drive, Sharon explains her side of the story, treating her daughter more like an adult than she ever has before. Mal finds herself feeling sympathetic… but then she’s startled to catch herself having sexual thoughts about her mother, and gets flustered and confused. Those thoughts won’t go away, either.

A few days later, Mallory gets an inspired notion: since their friend Megan has guessed that the girls are fucking Lisa, why not invite her over to make their threesome a quartet? The others agree, and much fun is had.

In the meantime, Mal’s mother Sharon gets a job at a senior center, and she is making plans to go back to school. Needless to say, Mal’s father is most unhappy with this development. On the other hand, Mallory is quite pleased for her mom, and takes the opportunity to get in her lap and give her playful, but subtly flirtatious kisses. Sharon soon excuses herself to take a bath, but Mal feels certain that she’s also masturbating. More then ever, Mal suspects that her mother is secretly gay.

Mal is gradually becoming more popular at school. One result is that she and Julie are invited to a sleepover with Emma and Cindy, a couple of Julie’s friends. Once the parents are asleep, the girls get into a discussion concerning masturbation, which leads to everyone getting naked and engaging in mutual touching. Emma and Cindy love it, and the four of them get together for more fun a couple of weeks later.

And now we rejoin our story, which is currently in progress. Do enjoy!

December 21st, 2006

I’m turning into a lousy diarist. It’s been over a week since I’ve written anything down, but I’m not going to beat myself up over it because I have been biz-ZEEE!

I like that. They should put it in the dictionary. Busy is what normal people do. When you’re juggling as much stuff as I am, you’re biz-ZEEE!.

See, I’ve been thinking about what separates the kids who go to A.L. from those who don’t. I wonder how much of it is actual smarts, and how much is just a drive to always be DOING. Julie and me, we don’t watch a lot of TV or play video games. We’ve always got projects, and we see them through. Me, I get obsessed with stuff. Right now I’m obsessed with my piano playing, to the point where I’m having to be really disciplined to leave time for my art.

So I guess let’s start with that stuff, since I’m playing catch-up here (not to be confused with the yucky red stuff my dad puts on his burgers, that’s catsup, or ketchup depending on what dictionary I look in!). Okay, maybe I shouldn’t try to make funnies. That came out sounding like what Lisa calls a Dad Joke. Blech.

So: art. I finalized my concept for the line drawings, got Mrs. Kenner to approve it, and I’m mostly done transferring it to the tree mushrooms. It’s spread out over four mushrooms, and the way I set it up they work by themselves, or you can arrange them a certain way and you get a panorama. It’s kind of slow going because the mushrooms aren’t an easy surface to draw on, and if I make mistakes, I can’t erase them. So I have to be really careful, but I’m getting there.

Now piano. I’m having to divide my time a little. I’m working on the Chopin piece, and I’m not gonna get that one down overnight. It’s hard! I also signed up to be in one of Jason’s student bands this spring. There’ll be five bands, and each band will play four songs at the spring concert. The idea is we write one song, and play three that were recorded by other artists. Turns out that those kinds of songs are called covers

Jason listened to me play, and guess what? He placed me in an advanced group! “Actually, it’s THE advanced group,” he told me. “The best of the other groups stretches the definition of ‘intermediate’ to the breaking point. The kids in this one are all quite a bit older than you, but you’re just too good for the ones with kids your age.”

It’s kinda weird, because everyone in this band except me is in high school. We don’t start rehearsing until next month, but Jason brought us all together for a band meeting last week.

There are five of us. The singer is a junior named Ralph who always wears sunglasses and has long blonde hair. The drummer’s name is Katie, a super-skinny blonde who doesn’t seem to have much of an opinion about anything. The bassist is a chubby, cheerful kid by the name of Roger, and the lead guitarist is a girl called Jamie. She’s really pretty, about medium height with shoulder-length dark brown hair. They all play really well, and Ralph has what Jason calls a “scorchin’ set of pipes”.

We played together a little. None of us know the same songs, so we did what’s called a 12-bar blues jam. I was the only one unfamiliar with how that went, and the high schoolers all seemed kind of annoyed to have this little kid in their band who didn’t know anything. Nobody said it out loud, but you could feel it in the room. But when we started playing and the others found out I could follow by ear, they warmed up to me! Ralph sang a bunch of verses that sounded like they might have been pulled from more than one song, and me and Jamie took turns improvising solos.

Jamie has obviously had a lot of practice doing improv and I haven’t, but I just kind of went with scales and notes that I knew would fit over the chords, and listened to Jamie’s note choices whenever it was her turn. It started out okay, and then got better! We just kept playing that 12-bar progression over and over for like ten minutes, and at the end everyone was smiling and laughing. It. Felt. GREAT!

Then we sat down and picked songs. That was tough. I think the biggest surprise for me was how many of the kids in the band were into older music. Ralph and Roger, who as it turns out are really close friends, both like rock from the 70s and 80s. Jamie is into heavy metal. The only one who really seemed to be a fan of newer stuff is Katie.

My parents have such heavy restrictions on what I listen to that I didn’t know much. I’m pretty sure nobody in the band wants to play Christian contemporary! Ralph and Roger had put together a playlist of ideas on Ralph’s iPod, and Jamie also brought one in. So I just listened to what they had, and made my suggestions from there.

We ended up with a song from Ralph and Roger’s list called Heat of the Moment by a band called Asia. Never heard of it, but it has what Jason called a breakdown section, with some really neat stuff for me to play on the keyboard.

We picked a heavy metal song for Jamie, but not one of her initial suggestions. It was Jason who suggested that we play some power metal, because we’re a band with a keyboardist. I had no idea what power metal was, but Jamie did. It comes from Europe, and it usually has lots of keyboards, fast tempos, and big sing-songy choruses. Anyhow, the moment Jason mentioned power metal, Jamie immediately said “How about this song called Destruction Preventer? I have it here on my iPod.”

It turns out Destruction Preventer is by a group called Sonata Arctica. They’re Finnish, and are pretty popular in Europe. It’s a long song with lots for me to do, even some places where the guitar and keyboard trade solos. Jason had never heard it before, but after listening to it he loved the idea because the song is kind of “progressive” (which means it has a lot of parts besides just verse-chorus-verse), and he thought a band at our level ought to tackle something challenging. The big concern was about the vocals, which are REALLY high in some places! But when Jason brought it up, Ralph simply looked him in the eye and said, “Challenge accepted.”

We had to practically drag a suggestion out of Katie. She finally said she wanted to do a Britney Spears song called Toxic. That one I’d heard of, at least! We listened to it, and there was general approval. Roger called it a “bass player’s wet dream,” and I thought it sounded fun because there’s just a ton of stuff for me to do. We weren’t sure at first where the guitars fit in, but there were some parts Jason was pretty sure were actually played on guitars. It’s just that there were so many studio effects laid on them they kinda sounded like synthesizers. So Jamie will take those parts.

That just left the question of vocals for the Britney Spears song, since it’s a girl singer. But Ralph thinks he can pull it off.

So that was that. We’re all going to learn the songs during Christmas break, and we’re also supposed to try coming up with riffs and ideas that we’ll use to write a song of our own at the first rehearsal. I’ve been doing most of that at Julie’s house, because Jason has a good sound system that helps me really hear the parts (which I’m learning by ear), and he also has a GREAT synthesizer so I can actually find sounds that match the recording. It’s fun. I’m really getting into music lately, and think maybe it’s what I want to do with my life.

One cool thing that happened at the band meeting was Jamie hugged me on the way out. I said before that she’s pretty, but that’s not quite right. She’s actually smoking hot! My face was mashed into her boobs when Jamie held me, and I got a little high on that.

“Can’t wait to make the rock with you, little sister,” she said. Then she hugged Julie. I forgot to mention it, but Julie is attending all the band meetings so she can practice mixing sound on the jam sessions. She is, after all, going to be sound engineer for the spring concert.

After everyone else was gone, Julie nudged me. “WOW. Did you feel how awesome her tits are?!”

“Oh, I might have noticed,” I answered with a grin.

Who knows, maybe we can get something going with her! I’m not sure what it is exactly, but there’s something about Jamie that makes me think she might like girls. Okay, she’s a lot older than me and Julie, but so is Megan… and Lisa, of course. Not to mention my mother!.

Speaking of Mom, I had a chat with Julie and Megan about her, just a few days after I made my last diary entry. The last time we talked about Mom was after I eavesdropped on her masturbating the day of our trip to Alexandria. Our discussion today was even more interesting. We were in Megan’s little basement domain, sprawled out on the big wraparound couch.

After I’d finished spilling my guts, Megan fixed me with a sly little smile. “This whole incest angle has you hotter than a snake on the beach at noon, doesn’t it?”

My cheeks grew hot. I hate the way I blush, so I stared down at my hands.

“Oh, for Christ’s sake, stop,” said Megan, giving me a light shove. “You think you’re the only one who thinks like that? Go look up incest porn on the internet. It’s fucking everywhere! You’re not alone, believe me.”

I forced myself to meet her gaze. “No kidding?”

“No shit. Remind me to show you this one website that I really like. Oh, and here’s a fun fact. I’ve diddled myself more than once thinking about getting freaky with my mom. Not that the Queen of Hetero Sanctimoniousness would ever stoop to something as vile as lesbian sex, especially with her own daughter. But it sounds to me like you might have a shot.”

My heart skipped a beat. “You really think so?”

“Don’t you? Jesus, kid. You climb in your mom’s lap and kiss her neck a little, then she flees to the bathroom and frigs herself off in the tub. Do I need to draw you a picture?”

I looked at Julie. We were snuggled up with our arms around each other, but she hadn’t spoken for a while. “What do you think?” I asked her.

Julie met my eyes. Her face was solemn. “You sound like you want to go for it.”

“Not without you,” I said, understanding where her head was at. “I won’t break my promise. Not ever.”

She smiled, and relief flooded through me. It was a real smile, the patented Julie Hansen Happy Face that lights up the whole room. “If you can get your mom naked and in bed,” she said, “I’ll make an exception. On one condition, that is.”

I smiled back at her, knowing where this was going. “What condition?”

“That you get me in on the action as soon as possible!”

We came together in a hungry kiss. Megan was right; this was getting me so hot I couldn’t see straight! I could tell Julie was turned on, too. I grabbed her ass, and she kissed me even harder.

We were so into our tongue action that we didn’t notice Megan getting to her feet. Suddenly she was looming over us, hands on her hips. Breaking our kiss, we looked up at her.

“Dirty little girls,” she said, shaking her head. Her face was the picture of pinched disapproval. “I know what you two have been up to. SO naughty. Does Mommy have to spank?”

I felt a delighted smile coming on, but managed to force it back. “Is Mommy mad?” I said, putting a frightened quiver in my voice.

“It’s dirty!” Megan snapped. I actually flinched a little. She was really laying it on thick!

Julie pulled away from me, curling herself into a ball. “Oh, Mommy… PLEASE don’t be mad!” she wailed. I could hear a giggle hiding behind her words.

Megan grabbed my wrist, roughly hauling me to my feet. “You get up here with her!she hissed at Julie.

Julie hastily scrambled to her feet, keeping her head bowed low. “Are you going to punish us?” I whispered. I sure hope so! I thought.

“What you’ve been doing is filthy,” Megan growled in a low, deadly voice. She punctuated the last word with a swat to my backside. It stung just a little, but my panties, which had already been damp, were quickly becoming drenched.

“Girls playing sex games with other girls… it’s disgusting!” she went on, this time smacking Julie’s ass. Julie moaned. Her eyes were glazed.

“We have to wash the sin off you,” said Megan. “You’re both disgusting and dirty, and you need to be cleansed. Into the bathroom. NOW!”

Placing a hand on each of our shoulders, she shoved us towards the hallway. “Move!”

I grabbed Julie’s hand and got my feet in gear. “Come on,” I said. The husky tremor in my voice wasn’t a put-on. I was so aroused, I could barely get the words out. “Let’s go before she beats us to death.”

We got down the hall to the bathroom, Megan prodding and threatening from behind. “Get those nasty clothes off,” she ordered. I started to pull my t-shirt over my head, and she swatted my butt again. “Hurry up!” she snarled. I stripped as fast as I could, watching Julie do the same out of the corner of my eye. Megan was also disrobing, but more slowly.

Finally we were all naked, me and Julie standing side by side. Megan was glaring at us imperiously, hands on her hips.

“Get in the shower,” she snapped.

I think I mentioned Megan’s shower before. It’s huge, big enough for four or five adults, and it has four nozzles with detachable heads. Megan had mentioned using them for fun before, but we never got around to trying it. She got the water running from all four nozzles, then reached up with both hands, taking two of them down at once, thrusting them into our hands.

“Hose all that filth off each other,” she ordered. Her voice was husky now. “May it cleanse your polluted minds in the process.”

Julie and I began spraying each other down, neither of us speaking. When the spray hit my chest, splattering every which way as it teased my nipples, I whimpered. I needed to get off so fucking bad! I aimed my nozzle at Julie’s chest and she went up on her toes, sucking in her breath. Megan was holding a third nozzle, slowly moving it across her own chest. Her eyes were half-closed, her breathing ragged.

Julie moved closer to me, reaching around to spray my back. I did the same to her, taking an extra step so we were pressed together. We imitated each other’s movements, going slowly up the back, then down again. I went a little lower, aiming the warm stream of water down the crack of her ass. Julie began moving her hips back and forth like she was fucking. I could hear her breath in my ear, rapid and fluttery. She teased my butt crack with her nozzle, and I moaned, “Oh, God…”.

When we parted, I went straight in for the kill, aiming the spray directly between her legs. Julie gasped, spread her feet apart, went up on tiptoe and spread her pussy lips open with the hand that wasn’t holding the nozzle. The stream of water from her nozzle hit my pussy, and I did just about the same thing as Julie: set my feet wide apart while holding my cunt open. It felt so amazing that I almost fell to my knees. Holy. Crap.

Julie and I stood a couple of feet apart, battering each other’s clits with streams of hot water. She was making high-pitched squealing sounds, and I was unleashing a full-throated moan with each surge of pleasure. Megan was off to the side, nozzle in hand, spraying her own clit.

When Julie came, her whole body quivered. She bounced up onto her toes, then down, then up again. She did it three or four times, making those same squeaky noises all the while. By then, I guess she couldn’t take any more, cause she pushed the nozzle to one side.

Julie slumped against me, draping her free arm over my shoulder as she continued to spray my pussy. A particularly strong wave hit me, and a choked cry broke from my lips as I dropped the nozzle to the tiled floor.

A series of sharp screams came from my left, and I turned just in time to see Megan coming. She was doubled over, one arm supporting herself against the wall as the other kept the spray directed towards her cunt.

That was the last straw for me. I came with a shout that must have shook the walls.

A little later we were sprawled on the wraparound once more, only now we were nude.  We’d toweled off, but our hair was still damp.

“Mal, you should come out to your mom,” Megan suddenly said. We’d been silent for the past ten minutes or so, and her words came as a surprise.

“Wait… are you serious?” I said.

“Yeah! Tell her straight-out that you’re into girls. She already knows you play with yourself, so you’ve kind of cracked the gate open a little bit. The next shock won’t be as big as the first, y’know?”

I thought about that for a bit. “I dunno. Mom’s come a long way, but she’s still sticking to scripture. The Bible can’t make up its mind about masturbating, but it’s pretty up front about being gay. It’s in the book of Leviticus, I think.”

Megan smiled, but there was no humor in it. “Leviticus talks about men having sex with other men—it doesn’t say anything about women with women. I’m thinking of the New Testament, the book of Romans. ‘Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion’. “Romans 1:26, if I remember right. And stop looking at me like that, you guys. I only stopped going to church a year ago, and I had to memorize Bible verses, same as you do, Mal.”

Julie, whose head was in my lap, shifted a little to look at Megan. “I love the way that comes across,” she said. “You know… like it’s even worse when women do it.”

Megan snorted. “I know, right? ‘Even the women.’ Oh my God, things have gotten so bad, the chicks are starting to get freaky with each other!”

We got laughing, and that was good… the vibe had been taking a turn that was too serious for my liking. Then I sobered. “Mom still believes it, though,” I said. “I feel like her faith isn’t as strong as it was, so maybe there’s hope. But I’ll have to go slow and be careful.”

“Start planting seeds,” said Megan. “Mention how nice women look when you see them. If that goes okay, get more suggestive. Like somebody’s hips look good in tight jeans, or something.”

“I can do that,” I said. “Sounds like a good idea.”

Megan was studying the ceiling. “I’ll tell you what I think,” she said after a long pause. “I think it’s going to be easier than you expect. Because you’ll be taking your mom in a direction she wants to go in.”

I wasn’t sure how to reply to that, so I kept quiet. We snuggled for a little while after that, then I had to get back home. Mom and Dad still aren’t talking, and the mood was so dark that I went straight to my room after dinner.

***

I managed to wrangle my way into Mom’s shopping trip to Alexandria a couple of days later, and I did what Megan said, pointing out women in the mall and saying things like “Isn’t she pretty, Mom?” or “What do you think of the skirt that lady is wearing?”

Mom seemed a little surprised at first, but then she got into it, replying with things like “Yes, she is pretty, Mallory,” or “I do like that skirt on her.” And once or twice, did I catch her eyeballing a cute girl’s butt as she walked past, or checking out the tits of a woman wearing a tight sweater? I’m pretty sure I did.

That evening, while I was in my room working on my art project, Mom and Dad had a real wowser of a fight. Dad’s mostly just been making himself scarce whenever she starts talking about school, but this time instead of escaping to his shop he laid into her, giving her a whole long spiel on mortal sin and a wife’s duty to obey her husband. Mom stayed calm at first, simply saying that if he intended to make her feel guilty about wanting a life of her own, she couldn’t stay with him anymore. That’s when things REALLY got out of hand.

I have to think this is headed straight for divorce court. Mom really laid it out this time; she’ll leave if Dad doesn’t accept what she’s doing. And Dad made it pretty clear that he’s not going to let this go.

I don’t think it’s even about scripture anymore; it’s Dad’s pride. He’s supposed to be the head of the household, because that’s how the Bible says Christian families work. And now his wife won’t do what he tells her, and that’s doing a number on his ego. Honestly, it’s kind of pitiful. It makes me sad for him, but angry, too.

I’m mostly caught up here, but I saved the most exciting bit for last. Yesterday was the first day of Christmas vacation. Julie and I got together with Cindy and Emma at Emma’s house, when her parents were out for the afternoon. That was the day we progressed from kissing and petting to a full-on lesbian foursome. By the time we were done, everyone there had tasted everyone else’s pussies, and our bodies were limp with exhaustion.

I got one big surprise: Emma’s a squirter! I was eating her out and fingerfucking her, when all of a sudden her thighs tightened up on my neck so hard I thought I was going to pass out, she screamed loud enough that they could probably hear it in the next county, and she came all over my face!

Emma was super-embarrassed, almost crying, but I assured her I loved it, and she was totally delicious. I even made a point of trying to lap up every drop. By the time it was over Cindy and Julie were licking it off my face, with Emma lounging back, gone from feeling ashamed to looking like the cat that ate the canary. Merry Christmas to us!

Seriously, I can’t tell you how great it is to be part of a group of close friends. Getting to fuck those friends is the most awesome bonus imaginable.

I expect to be totally busy during the week leading up to Christmas, so I might not have much time to write. But never fear, whoever ends up reading this a hundred years or so from now! I’ll get caught up.

 

December 26th, 2006

I’m at Grandma’s house. No, I didn’t bring the diary with me. What with the stuff I’ve been writing lately, taking it out of my room seems WAY too risky. Instead, I’m scribbling this down in one of the notebooks from my backpack, and when I get home I’ll copy it into the diary.

There’s really not much to catch up on since my last entry. Christmas Eve, Julie invited me to go for a drive and look at the Christmas lights in Wadena with her, Jason and Lisa, and my parents let me go. They know as well as I do that we’re going to have much of a family Christmas this year. So I got to go for a nice drive with the Hansons.

Lisa was so bubbly and joyful that she could barely sit still, and I soon found out why: Jason proposed to her! He actually got down on his knees and gave her a ring. Of course, she told him yes. They’re going to get married in the middle of January, then have a short honeymoon before Jason starts paramedic school.

“Not only that,” Lisa said in her most proper voice, “we might as well have the honeymoon before I’m too pregnant to enjoy it.” Her tone might have been ladylike, but the glint in her eyes sure wasn’t!

We got back with an hour to spare before it was time for me to go home. So Julie and I went upstairs to her room, got naked, and made very quiet love.

My parents surprised the hell out of me yesterday by giving me a KEYBOARD for Christmas! A really nice one, too! I don’t know where they got the money, but I was so, SO grateful. I’ll probably still use Jason’s for the spring concert, because it’s a professional model that costs thousands of dollars, but this will make it so much easier to practice. Jason was impressed when I told him what model it was; he said it’s not a pro-level unit, but it’s easily good enough to gig with for someone just getting started. That’s awesome!

I always spend the day after Christmas with Grandma, and it’s always fun. We ate junk food and had a big dinner and watched a bunch of Christmas movies.

I feel like I’m sitting on a… damn it, I don’t have my thesaurus. The edge of something. Hang on, let me think. Precipice, that’s it. And this Christmas vacation feels like the turning point.

It’s not just a feeling, you know. Mom and Dad’s marriage is falling apart. Both Mom and Jason are going to school early next year. Lisa’s going to have a baby. And I’m seriously considering coming out to my mother. It’s a lot to think about.

I feel like I need to end this entry with something big and ominous sounding. This is the first day of the rest of my life! Something like that. Or maybe I should stop being a dork and go to bed.

 

January 2nd, 2007

Oh God, it really happened. Mom moved out. There was another big fight a couple of days after Christmas, and Mom made some phone calls. The financial aid package she’s getting includes a living expenses allotment that’ll be enough for her to get an apartment and keep food on the table, as long as she’s legally separated. So she filed for separation. She’s staying with Grandma for the moment, but I guess she has her apartment lined up and will be moving there in two weeks.

I’m just… God. I don’t even know what to think. For now they tell me I’m going to be living with her half the time and Dad the other half, but nobody even wants to talk about the long term.

I’ve thought a million times over the past few months that it would be for the best if Mom and Dad split up, but now that it’s happened for real I just hurt all over. I realize now that what I really wanted was for both of them to get their act together so we could be a nice, normal family again.

I want to scream. I want to throw up. I want to go crawl in a hole and pull it over myself, but all I can manage is to hide in my blankets. Fuck them. Fuck them both.

 

January 7th, 2007

I just got off the phone with Julie. It’s a good thing Dad’s in his shop, so I’m alone in the house and didn’t have to watch my mouth. It was…

Okay, I’m rambling. I’m rambling because I don’t want to talk about what’s actually going on. While I was still on the phone, I turned the TV news on, way down low so I could still talk to Julie. Sure enough, I got to see what happened on the news while Julie was telling me about it.

Here’s the deal. Julie has twin cousins in Bronning. That’s about four hours northeast of here, up in the pine forest. Moose, iron mines, wolves, lumberjacks, all that stuff. It’s a town about the same size as ours. These are Jason’s sister’s kids, twin girls about a year younger than Julie and me. Antoinette and Annamarie Hastings are their names, and they’re both missing.

The girls were left at home with an older cousin on their dad’s side watching them, and now they’re gone. Nobody knows where, but the lady on TV just said that if children aren’t found within forty-eight hours, they have like a ninety-five percent chance of being dead. They’ve been gone since yesterday evening… almost twenty-four hours already.

Julie told me she doesn’t know her cousins all that well; she sees them maybe a couple times a year. But you wouldn’t know it to talk to her. She’s beside herself. The whole time we were on the phone, she was crying and couldn’t stop.

Jason is driving up to Bronning to be there for his sister, and Julie’s not sure how long he’ll be away. She wanted to go with him, but Jason wouldn’t let her. He said there’s nothing she can do, she doesn’t need to be around a bad scene like that, and we go back to school tomorrow anyway.

What could be worse than something like this? It makes my parents’ separation seem like a minor nuisance. I’ve never met these girls, never even heard of them until today, but my guts are just twisted in knots. And even though I don’t believe in God anymore, I’m praying right now. Here it is, on paper in case whatever’s out there is hard of hearing tonight.

If there’s any kind of a God out there, anywhere, deliver those two girls back safe and sound. Do that, and then give me your commands in some way I can understand. I’ll do it, no matter what. Please and thank you, okay?

On to Chapter Twenty-One!

 

The Loves and Labours of Doris Sloane, Chapter 6

  • Posted on September 6, 2024 at 3:13 pm

A brief summary of what has transpired thus far. (To get a breakdown of the earlier chapters, please see Chapter Links for descriptions)

Orphaned at the age of eight, sixteen-year-old Doris Sloane has spent half her life in a Catholic orphanage, where she was trained to care for young children. Our story begins when she is taken into service at the home of Victoria Shaw, a widow with three daughters: Melinda (ten), Sophia (eleven) and Becky (fourteen). Doris is thoroughly satisfied with this new life, but her orderly world takes an odd turn one night when she is seduced by Mrs. Shaw. Surprising herself, Doris responds eagerly, fully returning the pleasure she has been given.

In the days that follow, Doris and Victoria couple frequently, and Doris becomes skilled in the art of lesbian lovemaking under the tutelage of her mistress. She is deliriously happy, but her joy is tainted by the fact that she is only engaged to serve in the Shaw household until Melinda, the youngest, turns twelve. To complicate things even further, Doris has fallen madly, passionately in love with Victoria, but lacks the courage to tell her so.

One of Doris’ duties as nanny is to give Melinda and Sophia a bath every other day. The girls often invite Doris to join them in the large Japanese-style tub, but she always refuses, believing it isn’t proper. When she mentions this to Mrs. Shaw after a bout of lovemaking, Victoria suggests that Doris do what her youngest daughters want: get naked and bathe with them. Furthermore, she encourages Doris to pay closer attention to the girls’ nudity, to notice how beautiful they are in the altogether.

Doris finds this a bit strange… but that evening, while giving Sophia and Melinda their bath, she takes the time to study them more closely, and is startled to find herself feeling somewhat aroused.  The girls notice her interest, and on subsequent evenings, eleven-year-old Sophia begins to tease Doris by flaunting her nakedness. This only fuels this budding desire Doris feels… and very soon, she is masturbating to lewd fantasies of Victoria’s daughters.

One afternoon around this time, while the girls are at school, Doris in asked to join Victoria for a light luncheon in the back yard. There, Victoria offers the girl a permanent home as a member of the family, then tells her, “I love you.”

Doris is overwhelmed by emotion at first… but she joyfully accepts, and they celebrate by undressing and making love. 

Our story resumes on the following morning. Do read on, friends.

by JetBoy and BlueJean

I

I was gradually roused to wakefulness by a tendril of sunshine that had slipped through a slight parting of the curtains to lay a warm finger on my neck. I stretched, yawned, then realised I was lying next to Victoria.

In a twinkling, the momentous events of the previous day rushed to overwhelm me. It all seemed too wonderful to be true, but I knew it had been anything but a dream.

Twenty-four hours earlier, I had awakened an orphan girl in service, with precious little to call my own but several items of clothing and a scant supply of carefully saved money in the bank. That same afternoon, I gained a lover, a family and a home. All thanks to Victoria, who had seen something in me worth keeping.

My eyes lit on the gentle curve of my lady’s bare shoulder, and a familiar pulse commenced between my thighs as desire began to awaken. The temptation was there to tug the blanket down inch by inch, slowly revealing her nude form. I longed to bury my mouth in her thatch, seeking the fleshy treasure it concealed.

I dismissed that fancy, not wanting to break into Victoria’s slumber. Besides, a glance at the wall clock told me it would soon be time to wake the girls.

Carefully slipping from beneath the covers and getting to my feet, I plucked my nightgown from the floor and wriggled into it, pausing to blow Victoria a kiss before making a silent exit. I made my way to the bathroom, where I took a moment to smile at my reflection, basking in newfound happiness. I was no longer worried about what tomorrow might bring… and oh, my stars, how perfectly wonderful it was to have that weight lifted from my shoulders!

Enough daydreaming, I told myself. The day was beginning, and I had duties to carry out. Opening my nightgown, I briskly washed myself at the sink, towelled dry, then padded over to my room, where I quickly dressed before setting off to rouse Victoria’s daughters. A knock on the door sufficed for Becky, while the two youngest needed a bit more gentle persuasion.

An hour later, we were all gathered round the table, breaking our fast on oatmeal sweetened with raisins and honey. It was a perfectly normal day at Shadowglen, yet everything, everything had changed.

II

I saw the girls onto the school bus, then returned to the house, wondering if Victoria was waiting for me – and if so, what she had in store for the two of us. After the previous afternoon, anything seemed possible.

I found her in the kitchen, seated at the large, farmhouse table where I’d taken all my meals before finally being invited to dine with the family. I often assisted Mrs. Broomfield there while she laboured over the stove, taking on simple tasks like peeling carrots or kneading dough.

Victoria looked up as I entered. She had brewed a pot of tea, and there were cups for us both. “Join me?” she murmured, gesturing to the chair opposite hers.

“I don’t often find you in here,” I said, taking a seat.

Victoria filled our cups. I added lemon and a bit of sugar to mine, while she took a hint of cream. “I used to spend a great deal of time here when my husband was still alive and Mrs. Broomfield worked full time.”

“Oh?”

She took a sip of her tea, then closed her eyes for a long moment. When she opened them again, there was a wry smile playing on her face. “There’s an unspoken rule amongst the gentry: one never airs their dirty laundry in front of the staff. And so I found some respite in this kitchen, for a time. Of course, it merely delayed the inevitable.”

Fidgeting uncomfortably, I asked without thinking, “You’re talking about your husband?” Once my blunt words were out, I regretted them. “Actually, that’s none of my business, is it? I’m sorry.”

“No, you have a right to know,” Victoria said, placing a hand on mine. “Not just about my husband, but what led me to marry him in the first place. Would you hear the tale?”

“Only if you wish to tell it,” I replied. “I do admit to being curious, but don’t want to pry.”

Victoria topped our cups up with more tea. “We’re lovers, you and I. My wife, if such a thing were permitted. It’s only right you know of my past.” She cupped her hands around mine. “So… shall I tell you everything?”

I replied with a simple nod, and Victoria began her story.

III

I was christened Victoria Edwina Shackleford, born into a family of considerable means.

My parents had wanted a large family of their own, a dynasty of well-bred sons and daughters to carry on the family name. But it wasn’t to be.

My brother Simon was first, born the year of their wedding, but it took three more years before I was conceived.

My birth was a difficult one. In fact, Mother very nearly died. The doctor made it clear that I would be her last child. As a young girl, I often wondered why my father showed me so little affection compared to my brother. Eventually, I learnt that he blamed me for robbing him of the children he wanted.

Father saw himself as hard done by. He wanted more sons, and as far as he was concerned, I had denied him that. He needed a scapegoat, and I suppose his infant daughter was as good as any. So he maintained a detachment from my life, and the matter of my development was left to Mother, who handed me off to a nanny, then later a governess.

You have to understand that the children of families such as mine are expected to carry themselves in certain ways. We’re prepared for polite society from the day we learn to form a coherent sentence. Bred like race horses, is how I think of it. One of my earliest memories is of some woman teaching me to walk with a bloody book balanced on my head. By the time I’d reached my tenth year, I was taking lessons in French, Latin, and German, along with riding, dancing, and the piano. I’d already become quite adept at needlework at that age. I especially detested the piano, and Miss Knox, my instructor. She would smack my hands with a ruler if I played a wrong note – which I often did.

When not taking lessons, I was accustomed to playing on my own. My brother mostly gallivanted about with the twin sons of the coachman, and there were no girls my age close at hand. As a child, my most faithful companions were to be found between the covers of books. I owe that to my nanny, Miss Haggerty. She taught me to read at an early age, and I’ll always be grateful to her.

My mother was happy to see me take such a vivid interest in books as a child, but as I matured into womanhood, my love of reading began to concern her. She saw books as a distraction from what I ought to have been doing: preparing myself to be a proper English wife. I’d only just had my first menses when Mother began to groom me for marriage, despite being years too young to receive suitors.

As time passed, the subject of my betrothal became a matter of considerable urgency to my parents. In fact, once I’d reached sixteen, their intention was to find a suitable match for me as soon as possible.

You see, as the only son, my brother was destined to inherit the family estate. But Simon was a disappointment to my parents. Any attempt to mould him into a gentleman was doomed to failure. From the first, his tastes inclined toward the simple life led by the coachman’s sons and the stable boys. He hated every aspect of the world he was born into – the clothes, the social niceties, the responsibility. He was more at home with a mug of ale down the pub than a glass of fine wine at a banquet.

As a result, he clashed regularly with my parents – especially Father, who showered him with scorn. But that only made Simon all the more determined to blaze his own path. He was a jovial, vibrant young man who loved to laugh, intent on living life to the utmost. By his fifteenth year my brother was regularly drinking, gambling and whoring with his companions in the village. Yet he was liked by many, and his indulgences were overlooked by most.

Despite all that, Simon might still have one day assumed his place as head of the family. Instead, calamity struck. One morning, while out riding with his friends, he was thrown by a horse and took a blow to the head. The doctor told us a few stitches and a period of convalescence would set him right. But he was never the same man after that. His behaviour grew wild; erratic. He was plagued with terrible headaches, and began to drink even more to ease the pain. Sometimes, he would explode into violent rages, and no one could say what might cause them.

If Father had been disappointed before, now he was downright appalled. One night, he reduced my mother to tears, claiming she must have allowed another man to have her. You see, he refused to believe “that deranged lout,” could be his son. I despised him for that.

Despite our differences in temperament, I was close to my brother – as much as anyone in our family could be. Simon had his life, and I mine, but he always treated me fondly, and with more respect than most. It angered him to see our parents dictating the terms of my life, just as they’d tried to with him. “Vicky, you mustn’t let them tell you what to do,” he would say. ”For heaven’s sake, stand up for yourself!” He and Father had a huge set-to about that.

When England was drawn into the Great War, my brother was quick to enlist. It was both a way to escape his responsibilities and prove himself his own man. Father had served in his day, so for once, he approved wholeheartedly, I remember him telling Mother more than once that it was exactly what Simon needed. “It’ll make a man of him,” he said.

For my part, I was terrified for my brother. I knew how reckless and impetuous he could be, always eager to leap into the dragon’s jaws. And I was right to worry. Before six months had passed, Simon was killed in a mortar attack on the Western Front. There wasn’t even a body left to ship home.

My mother was devastated. I’m sure Father was too, in his way, although his concern that Simon’s death had left him without an heir seemed to outweigh his grief. Oh, they could have handed the estate down to me as their sole surviving child – but my father would never have permitted such a thing. He could hold forth for hours on the folly of giving women the vote, much less allowing them to own property.

So he decided that if they had no son, a son-in-law would have to suffice. Even better, a grandson. Hence, their wish to see me married soon… that is, once a suitable spouse had been chosen.

By then, I’d been schooled in some of the arts a young woman of standing was expected to know, but now that I was being groomed for imminent matrimony, additional steps needed to be taken. First, Mother’s seamstress was brought to our home to take my measurements for a whole new wardrobe. An instructor in etiquette was hired to teach me how to carry myself in society. My knowledge of fine wines came from her; precious little else.

I was also given a personal maid, an Irish girl named Nora Murphy. She would become my dearest friend… and my first lover.

Upon meeting Nora for the first time, I was horribly nervous. I’d never been entirely comfortable with giving orders to the help, which infuriated Father, of course. “They are servants, child,” he would tell me. “It’s their purpose – to serve.” He treated the staff like beasts of burden, only addressing them to give orders. Any servant foolish enough to speak in his presence without being spoken to first was likely to be sacked on the spot.

I expected Nora to be like most of our staff – discreet, inconspicuous, yet always quick to obey. But I found that I liked her very much. She was a lively, sweet-natured girl of eighteen, with a melodious voice and a manner rather more direct than I was used to.

And she was certainly beautiful. She had the reddest hair I’d ever seen – bright as a new penny, falling to her shoulders in thick, lush curls. She usually wore it up, or tied back into a bun, but on the rare occasion when she let it spill free… oh, my days, how I was enamoured. Her eyes were a deep moss green, and she had a sprinkling of freckles on her nose and cheeks. There was a healthy glow to her that I found enormously appealing.

As to her figure… Nora was quite womanly for her age, with generous breasts and hips. I was a mere child in comparison, having yet to fully develop.

Once Nora had got past my initial shyness, we got along famously… and before a month had passed, we were the closest of friends. She slept in an antechamber next to my room – the same arrangement Mother had with her own maid – so I could summon her any time I liked.

She and I both loved the outdoors, but while my own country pursuits were limited to those that befitted a lady – riding, hunting, archery, strolls around the rose gardens – Nora preferred exploring the woods and rivers that bordered our estate. Soon we were venturing out together, and when I was with her, the world became a place of purest wonder and beauty.

Nora had grown up with her grandfather – “Granda Seamus,” she called him. He’d passed his knowledge of nature on to her, and she was always eager to share the names of all the wild things to be found in the forest. Some of my fondest memories are of strolling through the bluebell woods together, paddling barefoot in the streams, marvelling at the sheer delight Nora took in identifying a bird by its call or explaining the medicinal properties of certain plants.

Much as she taught me about nature, I had something of my own to contribute to our friendship. Nora only attended school for a year or two as a young girl, and had never learned her letters. But she adored stories, and I had shelves loaded with them. At first, I would regale her with tales taken from memory, but soon found myself reading to her from my books. I still remember the funny faces Nora used to make when I read out loud. She could lose herself completely in a good story, and wanted to have her favourites told again and again.

Though she and I were thicker than thieves, Nora thought it best for me to treat her more distantly when in the company of others, especially my parents. “Tisn’t seen as proper for us to be true friends, so that should be our little secret,” she told me. She was always careful to address me as “miss,” never by my name, and I soon grew comfortable with giving her orders while in mixed company. We ended up making a game of it, playing at the roles of mistress and servant for our amusement. Afterward, we’d laugh about it in the privacy of my room. Once, Nora claimed I’d behaved in a “high-hat” manner all day, and got her own back by tickling me until I nearly wet myself!

She soon took to calling me ‘Buttercup,’ and I nicknamed Nora ‘Dandelion,’ because of how delightfully unkempt her hair became when her bun came loose. Of course, we never used these names when anyone was within earshot, even the other servants.

Nora was a very special friend to me. But that friendship soon blossomed into something much more intimate. I suppose it began when she bathed me for the first time.

In those days few houses had dedicated bathrooms, even large estates like ours. That would soon change, of course, but while our peers were beginning to warm to the idea of plumbed hot water, Father resisted for as long as he could. He insisted that lolling about in a tub was a sign of moral laxity, as was any activity centred on the body. “Such revellings led to the fall of the Romans,” he liked to say. The expense of indoor plumbing was also a reason for his reluctance, I’m sure. Father could be rather tight-fisted. I think we still would’ve been using chamber pots, had Mother not put her foot down and insisted on a proper flushing lavatory.

So bathing involved the servants hoisting a tin hip bath up the stairs and into my room, then several trips back and forth with pails of hot water. What a chore that must have been! Thankfully for them, baths were but a weekly occurrence – on most days, a washbowl and pitcher would suffice.

When Nora suggested she help me bathe, I was a little scandalised, but she assured me there was nothing at all unusual about a lady being washed by her maid. I was used to her pouring my bath, of course, but the idea of her actually soaping and scrubbing me when I was nude left me feeling quite awkward – yet also a little intrigued.

Shy as I was, you can imagine my reluctance, but Nora did her best to persuade me, explaining that she’d helped her younger siblings to bathe many times, and that it was perfectly normal. “You’ve only to try it the once,” she said. “If you don’t care for it, I’ll not bring the notion up again.” I finally relented, mostly because I liked her so very much.

So on the appointed night, Nora helped me to undress, then washed me from head to toe. It was a wonderfully intimate moment, and wouldn’t be the last time that old tin bath was hoisted up the stairs. I’m sure Mother and Father must have wondered why I’d taken such a sudden fancy to bathing.

In the days that followed—

“Wait!” I interrupted.

Victoria raised an eyebrow at me. “Hmm? What’s the matter?”

I gazed at her across the kitchen table. “Tell me properly. I want to know what happened when Nora bathed you…”

She was somewhat taken aback by that. “Well, I… I just assumed you’d rather not hear all the, ah, particulars.”

It was true that I’d expected to feel a little jealous when Victoria recounted the tale of her relationship with Nora. Instead, the thought of these two young girls discovering each other intrigued and excited me.

“I do want to hear,” I insisted, allowing a hand to wander over the swell of my breasts. “I think it might make for a rather exquisite diversion… besides, I’d love to know how you learned to give pleasure to women.”

Leaning back in her chair, Victoria smiled wryly. “Why, Doris, I do believe you’re more of a wanton creature than I’d suspected. Very well, then. Have it your way…”

I stood before Nora, staring at the bath she’d drawn for me, unsure what I was supposed to do first.

“We’d best get you in the tub then, Buttercup,” she told me cheerily. “Before the water turns cold.”

There was something in her smile, the lilt of her Irish accent, that made me quicken inside. I think I may have fallen in love with Nora there and then, even if I wasn’t fully aware of its significance at that moment.

I did start a bit when she began to unbutton my dress. I hadn’t considered that she might undress me, as well as help me bathe. I could have managed that myself, but was intrigued enough to let Nora peel away the numerous layers of my clothing until there was nothing left to remove. I remember standing there naked next to the tub with Nora’s warm breath upon the nape of my neck, doing my level best to maintain a veneer of perfect calm. In truth, I was anything but.

I’d always been a thin girl – a more flattering description would have been ‘willowy,’ I suppose – and in the presence of Nora’s more shapely figure I felt like a sexless stick. Yet when she sidled in front of me, hands on hips, she seemed wholly enamoured of my body, gazing at me in open admiration. “There y’are now,” she said in unconcealed wonder, her eyes roving over me in a manner that anyone else would’ve considered insolent. “You’re a bonny girl, for sure.”

No one had ever spoken to me like that, nor stared so brazenly at my nudity. For the first time in my life, it occurred to me that I might indeed be pretty. That confidence in myself was but one of many priceless gifts I received from Nora.

Time seemed to stand still while she gazed at me longingly, and though her intense regard left me feeling more than a little awkward, I couldn’t deny it quickened my pulse.

Then Nora was shaking herself out of her reverie. Taking my hand, she guided me into the tub. I settled in with a blissful sigh, and she asked me, “Is it still warm?”

“Yes… it’s just right,” I replied.

“Grand.” Nora reached for the soap, dipping it in the water. “Let’s get to scrubbin’, then!”

She folded to her knees next to the tub. “I’ll wash your hair first. ‘Start at the top and work your way down,’ my mam always said.” Rolling up her sleeves, she lathered her hands vigorously, then got to work.

I vaguely recall having my hair washed by my nanny, Miss Haggerty, when I was a little girl, but she was always workmanlike in her duties, with none of the tenderness Nora showed me that day. She gently worked the soap into my tresses, using a firmer touch to massage the scalp, then combed through my hair with long, luxurious strokes.

It was divine. The tension I felt evaporated like morning mist, a sense of perfect peace filling my chest.

Nora reached for the large pitcher of warm water she’d set aside to rinse my hair. “Close your eyes, love, else the soap gets in.”

With that, she began to pour, the fingers of her free hand lightly dancing over my head as she washed the soap away. Setting the half-emptied pitcher down, Nora took handfuls of my hair and began to squeeze the water away. Once it was damp rather than dripping, she took up the towel and gave my scalp a gentle but vigorous tousling to finish the job.

“There. Squeaky clean,” she murmured, giving my shoulder an approving pat. “Almost ready to mingle with the quality, girl.”

I smiled at her reflection in the long standing mirror near the tub. “Hmm… no. I think I’ll stay here with you, Nora Murphy,” I replied. “You’re far more enjoyable company.”

Nora planted both hands on her hips and shook her head in mock exasperation. The smile in her eyes gave away her delight, though. “Ah, go on now! Sit up straight so I can wash your upper.” Working up another handful of creamy lather, she took up the flannel and commenced soaping my shoulders, but I reached up to take it from her before she could continue.

“Do it without the flannel,” I told her.

“Eh?”

“The cloth feels rough against my skin. Just use your fingers, will you?”

Nora gave a shrug, but I also detected a tiny smile. “If it pleases you.”

When Nora first brought up the subject, I couldn’t understand why grown women would even want to be bathed by another. Were they simply too idle to clean their own bodies? Now I understood. Her touch was gentle but firm, fingers deftly massaging the soap into my neck and shoulders, soft as a whisper. The sweet lavender scent of soap and the steady cleansing rhythm of Nora’s hands upon my skin lulled me into a pleasant stupor. But there were more sensual delights to come.

“Sit back now,” Nora said, and I did as she asked. I watched in the mirror as she moved to the back of the tub. Her hands made their way over my shoulders and down towards my upper chest.

With every soapy caress, I basked in the attentiveness with which she performed the task, her fingers deftly seeking out the crooks and creases of my naked form, loosening muscle and sinew, and soothing skin. At the time, of course, it seemed completely innocent; my dear friend’s way of showing kindness.

I thought she might leave the washing of my breasts to me, but to my surprise her hands trailed down over them. The way she touched me there was a delight and a revelation. Nora coaxed my nipples to an unexpected stiffness, which made them all the more sensitive. And when she briefly scissored each one between her index and middle finger, I couldn’t hold back a tiny gasp.

Nora didn’t seem aware of the way she was making me feel, at least not that I could see. Instead, she murmured, “Stand up now, love. I’ll wash the rest of you.”

Grasping the sides of the tin tub, I rose to my feet without hesitation, my shyness usurped by sensuous exhilaration. In fact, I was coming to realise that being nude in Nora’s presence rather appealed to me, and I found myself imagining what she might look like naked, too. It was a thrilling notion, and one I couldn’t help but dwell on.

Once more, Nora began to rub the cake of soap between her hands, smiling as she worked up a good lather. Setting the soap to one side, she knelt before me and began to wash my legs. She trailed her hands up each one, from shin to upper thigh, coming to within an inch or two of my sex with each lengthy stroke.

Then she tapped the rim of the tub with her index finger. “Rest your foot here.”

I obliged, and Nora applied her creamy hands to my foot. It tickled a bit, but felt lovely. I presented the other foot, and soon they were both done. “Now turn around,” she said.

Facing away from Nora, I gave a contented sigh as she began to soap my lower back, a shiver racing through me when her hands slid down to my buttocks. Her fingers pressed into the soft flesh, moving hither and thither with more careful consideration than the task seemed to warrant. A pleasant warmth began to ripple through my belly.

When her soapy fingers delved between my cheeks to get at my nether hole, I gave a startled gasp and pushed her hand away. “Don’t!”

“Oh, don’t be a baby!” Nora said with a snicker. “It’s just a bumhole.”

“I can do my ‘bumhole’ myself, thank you,” I replied in mock haughtiness.

“Let me do it,” she said softly, and when those emerald eyes met mine, they sparkled with the kind of wild mischief I’d come to know so well.

I turned away from her again, if only to hide my smile. “You’re awful, Nora Murphy. All right, then. Carry on.”

It felt utterly strange having her clean me there, yet I found myself taking to it more than I was willing to admit. When she wriggled the tip of a slippery finger into my arse, a surprised whimper escaped my lips.

I peered back at Nora, and we held each other’s gaze for a long moment, her fingertip describing a tiny circle inside me before withdrawing.

She swatted my arse playfully. “Now turn to face me, Buttercup.”

Head spinning, I did as she asked. Nora was still on her knees, wearing an impish smile that had me wondering if she’d planned this all along. Of course, I had no idea there were sweeter delights to come.

Nora slowly lathered my belly, her hand moving in ever-decreasing concentric circles until her fingers were teasing at my belly button. She looked up at me, those cool green eyes capturing mine again.

“Now, here’s the part we have to pay special attention to,” she said, then lightly traced the cleft of my sex.

It tickled at first, but as she stroked me there a second, then a third and fourth time, the tickle became something more. I held my breath as Nora stirred me to arousal, the warmth between my legs becoming more urgent by the second.

Nora wasn’t just bathing me now, I recognised that much, but beyond that, understanding eluded me. Why was she touching me this way? Was this simply another one of her games? It wouldn’t have been the first time she’d said or done something daring to get a reaction. Nora seemed to take great delight in shocking me.

Suddenly she took her hand away, leaving me breathless and utterly wanting. Getting to her feet, she reached once more for the pitcher. “Time to rinse,” she said.

There was a sudden uneasiness in her demeanour, as if she realised she’d taken a liberty. She no longer met my gaze, and a darker hint of pink coloured her cheeks. This only added to my confusion. Something had just taken place between us, but I couldn’t decide if it was merely some mischief concocted by Nora, or more than that.

I stood motionless as she rinsed the soap from my body with the remaining water in the pitcher, which by then had turned as lukewarm as the mood in the room. Once the earthenware vessel had been emptied, she set it down and took up a thick towel. “Step out now,” she muttered, still unable to look me in the eye.

This would not do, not at all. I adored Nora, and wanted no awkwardness between us. And as she gently rubbed me down, drying me bit by bit, I considered how to put my friend at ease.

Finally, when she was done drying my hair, I placed a hand on her arm. “Thank you, Dandelion,” I said. “It was awfully nice.”

Her cheeks flushed anew, but this time there was a smile to accompany them. “Ah, get on with you. It was just a wee bath. Now stand still, so I can get you into this.” She brandished my nightie. “We can’t have you standin’ round in the nuddy, lovely though the sight may be.”

I dutifully raised my arms while she helped me into my nightie, basking once more in my friend’s sweet words.

“There y’are, Buttercup,” Nora murmured, smoothing the material over my body.

I was tingling all over, a rising hunger that I didn’t understand. I wanted to seize Nora’s hands and dance her around the room. Instead, I could only gaze at her lovely face, not knowing what to say or do.

Nora was first to move. Drawing close, she wrapped both arms around me. Without a second thought, I returned her embrace, nestling my slight form against her voluptuous one. Basking in the sweet, familiar scent of her, I realised this was exactly what I wanted, what I needed. I’d never been held so closely, so lovingly.

After a moment, we slowly parted, our eyes meeting once more. Before I knew it, I’d whispered, “Thank you.”

With a tinkling laugh, Nora said, “What for?”

I took her hand. “For… being my friend.”

Nora leaned in to kiss my cheek. “It’s not such a chore. I never worked for a nicer person.”

“You work for my father, not me.” Clutching her hand to my chest, I told her, “Friends.”

Victoria closed her eyes, smiling wistfully at the memory. “Nora understood completely. ‘Friends,’ she agreed.”

“Friends,” I echoed, my bare foot finding its way beneath my lover’s skirt, brushing the inside of her thigh.

She peered at me across the kitchen table. “Nora and I enjoyed our little bathing sessions very much. But it quickly became apparent that mere flirtation would no longer suffice.” She paused, moistening her lips.  “I’d like to tell you about the time Nora and I came to share a bed, but you seem a tad… preoccupied.”

“I’ll have you know I’ve been listening very intently,” I insisted. “Carry on with the story, would you, please?”

“Well, I could finish the tale,” Victoria said with a coy smile. “Or… I could bring you off with my mouth on the kitchen table. It’s not possible to do both, of course. You’ll have to choose.”

“Right here on the table?” I said, feigning shock. “Whatever would Mrs. Broomfield say if she found out?”

“Oh, so it’s the rest of the story, then?”

“Well, I didn’t say that.”

I stood and made my way round the table until I was poised in front of my beloved. She pushed me back onto the gnarled oak surface, its chinks and notches and stains spelling out their own tales of rigour and toil. Perhaps Victoria and I would leave our own mark before the day was done.

“Lift your skirt up,” Victoria demanded, and I was quick to comply. She reached for the waistband of my knickers, then drew them down my legs and away. “Goodness me,” she cooed, taking in the sight of my glistening sex. “My little story does seem to have you all hot and bothered.”

I moved my knees further apart, feet dangling above the floor. “Isn’t that how you like it? Juicy and ripe?”

“The proof of the pudding is in the eating,” Victoria replied, then gave my slit a quick flick of the tongue, making me twitch at the sudden contact. She drew the taste back into her mouth, much as a sommelier might consider a fine vintage. “I think you’ll do,” she declared. “I think you’ll do quite nicely.”

And with that, my lady set about feasting in earnest, drawing my nether lips apart to get at the rosy pinkness beneath, her tongue lashing through my folds.

I closed my eyes and let the indistinct images that had been swirling around in my mind clarify themselves: The red-haired maid washing Victoria so attentively. Except in my version, Nora was naked too, and much younger than her true age of eighteen. As for Victoria, she was no longer the young girl of sixteen she had been, but the full woman I knew so intimately.

Then it was no longer Victoria in the bath, but Melinda and Sophia, and I was the maid, running my soapy hands over their smooth young bodies. I tried to banish this new image, but too late – Victoria was sucking on my clitoris, and she had penetrated me with her fingers, and I was bucking wildly on the old oak table.

“Oh! Oh, Victoria!”

Victoria stood, wiped her sticky mouth with the back of a hand, then unclasped her skirt, pushing it down along with her knickers. She stepped free of the garments, drew one of my knees up between us, then pulled me to the edge of the table to fit her sex snugly against mine.

A long, slow grind ensued, Victoria expertly milking every ounce of sensation from our joining, labia brushing against labia, clitoris pressed against clitoris, juices mingling with juices.

I grabbed her buttocks, pulling her tighter to me, and she responded by grinding faster and harder, hands grasping at my thighs, using them as leverage to thrust back and forth. Wet sounds accompanied each slap of sex upon sex, the sensation so intense it almost felt like my cunt was being spanked.

Our vaginas still kissing, Victoria suddenly came to a halt, her mouth slack. A convulsion ripped through her body, and she pushed out her orgasm via a series of smaller thrusts. “My b-beautiful girl,” she whimpered. “I love you so much.”

I could feel her warm liquid oozing into my slit, and it was enough to bring on my own climax. I lay back against the table and hugged Victoria close, letting the pleasure wash over me. “I love you, too,” I murmured in her ear.

We lay there for as long as such a hard, unforgiving surface would allow, then roused ourselves. I slipped my knickers back on while Victoria climbed into her skirt. She regarded the wet patch upon the table. “We made a mess.”

“Let it be,” I replied, acting on a wicked whim. Mrs. Broomfield would likely think it just another stain amongst the many already there, if she noticed at all, but I can’t deny I took some lewd satisfaction in leaving our mark, as rutting animals might.

Victoria shrugged, then looked down at her watch, making a face. “I really must get some work done. Those wretched lawyers have made yet more changes to the Fitzhugh contract.”

“What about the rest of the story?” I asked.

She kissed me on the mouth, and I was met with the faint taste of my sex on her lips. “All in good time, Doris. All in good time.”

On to Chapter Seven!
