(Author's note :- I never expected my Ambridge 'saga' to have mass audience appeal - it is a pretty specialised 'market'! But, readership of chapter 1 is teetering on the verge of a very respectable 1,000 - and, so far, it has attracted five 'straight 5' votes. The only disappointment has been a complete absence of e-mail feedback, and I really would welcome an exchange of ideas with 'Addicts' anxious to delve into the murkier depths of Borsetshire life. So, see what you think about Clarrie's hidden secrets - then let me know...)
Rum-ti-tum-ti-tum-ti-tum...
"Good-morning, Joe," Clarrie Grundy greeted her father-in-law cheerfully as she bustled round the kitchen in her dressing-gown, fresh from her morning shower.
"I don't see what's so good about it," he grumbled as he picked up the cup of tea waiting for him, and drank it noisily, looking round for the morning paper.
"Where's Eddie?" he asked. "Ain't he up yet?"
"Been up ages," said Clarrie, heaping four rashers of bacon and two eggs on to Joe's plate. "He's laying slabs for Linda Snell this morning. He went half an hour ago."
"Better him than me," said Joe, attacking his breakfast vigorously. "That woman could talk for Borsetshire – drives me mad. What about Edward?"
"He's working up Oliver Stirling's – mending some fences, or something."
Joe nodded, his mouth full.
"What about you?" Clarrie asked. "'Ave you anything on this morning?"
"No – nothing much," came the indistinct reply, as Joe mopped up the remains of his egg yolk with a piece of bread.
"Well, I'm on lunchtime shift at The Bull," Clarrie announced as she picked up Joe's plate and carried it over to the sink, dropping it into the basinful of hot water. Turning round, she leaned against the sink and folded her arms in front of her.
"So, I've got a good hour before I have to start getting ready," she said. Her father-in-law looked up at her.
"Is there anything you need, while I've got a bit of free time, then, Joe?" she said, her voice a little lower than before.
"What you got on under that thing?" he asked, his eyes glittering.
"Why don't you come over and find out?" As she spoke, Clarrie's tongue slid over her lips, and she watched as Joe levered himself out of his chair and crossed the kitchen floor. She unfolded her arms and put her hands on the edge of the sink, supporting herself with her arms.
Joe's rough, gnarled hand reached up and pushed the material of one side of her dressing-gown aside. A full, heavy naked breast was revealed. Joe's fingers closed round it and his index finger and thumb gripped the thick brown nipple and twisted it. Clarrie gasped and closed her eyes.
"Ah, you got lovely tits," said Joe. "My Susan had nipples like yours, God rest 'er. Her tits wasn't so big, though."
He always said that, Clarrie reflected, but she did love the way he treated her breasts – roughly, painfully, sometimes, but it always aroused her. He had never kissed her – she wouldn't want him to. To Joe, sex was an animal act and it excited Clarrie to be treated the way a stallion would service a brood mare. Not that Joe was everyone's idea of a stallion, but, for an old man, he was astonishingly virile and his cock was half as big again as his son Eddie's – Clarrie's husband.
Joe's other hand was already busy unbuttoning his trousers and Clarrie reached down to help him. As usual, his cock was already hard and it was difficult to get it out. Joe gave up in disgust and left it to Clarrie, raising his other hand to drag the top half of her dressing-gown fully open so that he could grab her other breast.
As he twisted her stubby nipples, Clarrie felt the wetness between her thighs and her mouth dried with excitement as she released his penis and it slapped against her palm. The tip was already leaking and her fingers grew sticky. She gripped his cock at the base and flooded as her fingers failed to meet round its circumference and she anticipated it stretching the mouth of her vagina as it pushed its way into her.
As a young bride, when she had first come to live at Grange Farm, Clarrie had been very careful about locking the bathroom door and getting fully dressed before she emerged from the bedroom she and Eddie shared. Not that Joe ever tried anything with her, but she could sense his eyes on her, especially if she was bent over, showing a bit of cleavage, or sitting awkwardly, affording a view up her skirt.
