Fire and the Redhead

Continuing my story of Tim and Cindy, loosely based on events in the early 1970's. I strongly suggest readers read previous parts of this Novella as I build the characters.

Comments are always appreciated and help this author greatly.

We woke the next morning to the song of a Tui bird in a flax bush next to the bedroom window.

"Tell it to shut up Tim." Cindy was spooned into me exactly how she must have slept all night.

"Do you want me to tell it in English, Māori, or song language?"

"Don't care...just make it go away." I loved Cindy when she was like this, muffled by her pillow, drowsy and not wanting to open her eyes.

"How about we get up, have a nice shower, then coffee and toast on the deck."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because you didn't mention peeing...I need to pee first. Want to come and watch?" She rolled over eyes wide open, smiled then gave me a kiss before throwing off the sheet and jumping out of bed.

I hadn't had a shower yet, where Cindy hadn't tried to attack my cock. I pushed her hands away yet again.

"No Cindy...I need it to re-load before tonight."

She pouted. "Okay...so I suppose you won't want a cuddle in case my tits poking into your chest gives you a Stiffy."

"A 'Stiffy', haven't heard that expression for a few years, who uses that?"

"Ali. She used to tease her brothers by walking around in her under wear until they got wood in their pants."

"That Cindy, is out and out cock-teasing...a cuddle would be nice, but I'll have to stop if I get a 'Stiffy."

Cindy made the coffee but realising there was no milk wandered over to the cottage, she wanted clean under wear too.

"What took you so long?" she wandered back with a grin on her face.

"Those two were bonking so I sort of had a listen." She laughed. "Ali was telling Davey to fuck her arse. She's such a dirty bitch."

I was keen to get the boat work out of the way for the day, so we headed along to the boatyard and headed straight back again. As we pulled into Howard's drive, parked in front of us was Dana's white Honda car.

"Oops," I said and reversed back out.

Cindy was grinning at me as we headed back. "We did that...we got them together...that is so cool." She lightly punched my arm.

Davey was down at the boatshed working on the new door.

"Just in time bro, you can give us a hand to hang this. How did the boat go?"

"It didn't, arrived there to find Dana's car in the driveway. Made a discreet exit."

Davey laughed. "Howard eh...the cunning old dog."

"I think Dana might have been the instigator there, amazing what a haircut, and shave can do. Cindy's tickled pink, thinks she's a regular match maker."

"So what about tonight mate, is it all on?"

"Yeah, guess there's no turning back now. Like I said before... I'm just going to keep an open mind and go with the flow. You haven't got any dope have you Davey, that might take the edge off things?"

"Great minds brother, I was thinking the same thing. Yep...got a couple of joints. Let's have a look and see what timbers around. If Howard turns up he can help with the barge boards and corner trims while you hop back on the saw if we find what we need. Hopefully Howard is not too stuffed."

"There's a ton of timber under Roger's house and Dad's got a bit under our boatshed."

Davey checked through the timber stack, and we pulled out what he wanted. On the back of an offcut of weatherboard, he drew out his design for the workbench and wrote in rough dimensions.

"Reckon you can handle that?"

"Soon find out."

The familiar rumble of Howard's truck heralded his arrival.

"Morning Howard."

"Morning." He did look a bit tired and a little sheepish. "Ahh...I heard you pull up Tim, sorry about that."

"No problem mate, guessed you were a bit busy."

Howard grinned at us, then shook his head. "Long time since I've had a night like that. That was something else."

"Good for you mate, Dana's a good lady. You here to help again?"

"Yeah...if I fall asleep just throw me in the lake. I've rubbed down and I'll spray the boat tonight."

"Hey mate, if you want to take the day off, there's no obligation here."

"No that's all good. I like the company round here."

I made up a cutting list and fired up the saw while Davey and Howard borrowed it every so often to make their own cuts.

Cindy and Aliesha wandered down with coffees and scones.

"Hi Howard, how are you today?"

"Fine thanks Cindy."

"You look a bit tired; did you get enough sleep last night?" Cindy stood with her hands behind her back swinging her hips smirking.

"Don't be such a smart-arse Cindy." She stuck her tongue out at me before the girls both came forward and gave Howard a hug.

"If you need any advice Howard, you come and see Aunty Cindy and Aunty Aliesha."

"Don't Howard, take it from us, they're a couple of conniving hussies who'll lead you astray."

Aliesha removed the tea towel that covered the scones. "This one's for Tim. It's the one with the arsenic."

"See what I mean mate. Ruthless, conniving hussies."

We worked through the rest of the morning putting finishing touches to the outside, then building the new bench and some shelving inside.

"Bit of paint and she'll be better than new. I'll measure up for new roofing iron and there's those two purloins we should replace before it goes on, other than that we're just about done and if I have to say so myself, bloody good job, looks awesome. The fuse board and wiring are going to need checking out and a new outlet fitted over the bench."

"I've got an electrician who does my boats for me on the side. I'll give him a call if you like."

"Cheers Howard."

A car pulled up behind the house and Dana gave us a wave as she headed to the cottage carrying a box. Ten minutes later Cindy yelled out that lunch was ready. As we sat on the deck, things were surprisingly quiet. Dana and Howard seemed to avoid looking at one another.

Davey broke the silence, his question directed at Dana "So Dana, did you find what you were after?" Everyone stared at him, a look of confusion on Dana's face.

"The boat plans...what did you think I was talking about?" Whether or not Davey was having her on or being serious didn't matter as the six of us burst out laughing.

"Actually, we didn't get that far." The comment from Howard set us all off again.

"How about you lot coming to the café for a meal tonight? It's on me."

"Ahh...thanks Dana, but we've been invited to a dinner party in town tonight, could we make it another night."

"Okay, how about tomorrow night then, I'm a bit busier Saturdays, but I'm sure we can manage. Maybe the girls could help. I might have a new chef by then." Dana raised her eyebrows at Aliesha who laughed.

"We haven't even discussed it yet, but I promise I'll let you know by tomorrow night."

"Are us slaves allowed to have the afternoon off so that we can get ready for tonight." Cindy directed the question at Davey and me.

"What, all afternoon?...that's pushing it. Are you sure you want to employ these two Dana? seems to me they're a couple of shirkers."

"Shirkers...I'll give you ten seconds to take that back mister, or you'll be sleeping in your van. You can play with your tools." Dana thought this was hilarious.

Davey grinned at Aliesha. "We've done so well guys that how about Tim and I have a clean-up and we all have the afternoon off."

"Goody," said Cindy. "Tim will you set up the bath for Ali and me please?"

"Yes Madam. Will Madam be requiring bath attendants as well?"

"No thank you, we'll call if we require anything."

Howard and Dana headed off; they seemed in a bit of a hurry.

I was filling the bath and turning on the water heater for the girls. "Why is it that girls need hours and hours to get ready to go out.

"It's alright for you guys...you just give it a bit of a wash and stick it back into your pants already to go. Us girls have to prepare." Cindy was grinning at me.

"Like what?"

"Wash our hair, we've got to shave, armpits, legs and if you're lucky fannies. Nails and make up, then we have to decide what to wear. All takes time you know. We could always go out like a couple of bush pigs if you like. Besides...it's fun playing dress-up. You can go now, but make sure you shave. Don't want face or fanny rash thank you Tim."

"Sure you don't want me to stay...I'm an expert with a razor you know. By the way, isn't that my razor you're holding?"

"No, go away, we'll manage, thank you very much." Cindy pulled a face and poked out her tongue.

Davey and I spent the next couple of hours relaxing with a couple of beers and catching a few rays, after having a swim. The girls seemed to be having a good time as we heard occasional faint laughter drift down through the bush. An hour before we were due to leave, we shaved and showered. I had to borrow Tim's razor as mine had been seconded. Davey re-applied dressings to my back and luckily he had a spare Hawaiian style shirt that I borrowed from him. With jeans it looked good, and I decided I probably wasn't going to give it back. The frizzled bits of hair on my head and eyebrows had started to grow back out and the burnt flakes of skin had finally disappeared from my ears. The best part though, was that apart from an occasional itch, my back seemed to be relatively pain free.

The girls had been in Mum and Dad's room for the last hour and a half and finally emerged. They left Davey and I with mouths resembling goldfish. I'd never seen Cindy wear make-up and the transformation was stunning. Cindy was gorgeous anyway, and if she'd asked me if she should wear make-up I would have told her not to bother, but Aliesha as with most things she did, had transformed her into something stunning. No point in me telling you what Aliesha had done to Cindy because I wouldn't have a clue, other than to say she had peach coloured lipstick on and something above her eyes that matched it. She wore the green sun dress that she had at the beach and raised heel sandals that accentuated her long legs.

Aliesha looked just as stunning, but she wore red lipstick and a black mini skirt that was so short I was convinced if she bent over just a fraction I'd have an eyeful of panties, plus a tight white top, low cut to emphasize her tits.

"Well what do you think, will we pass?"

"Fifteen out of ten girls...you both look hot as hell."

"Just as well, otherwise we might go alone."

We decided to take Cindy's Mini, as Tim still had tools in the van and the station wagon didn't have a back seat. Cindy drove and was an excellent driver paying full attention to the road while Aliesha and Davey were crammed into the back seat with Davey's head touching the roof. We stopped at a bottle store to buy wine and beer not wanting to arrive empty handed.

"Well here we are boys and girls, no backing out now." Cindy pulled into the driveway.

Colin met us at the door. I think he was as taken aback as Davey and I had been with how stunning the girls looked. I introduced Davey and Aliesha, Davey shaking hands and Aliesha kissing Colin on the cheek before she smiled at Cindy with raised eyebrows.

"Jan's in the kitchen, please come in." Jan was making a salad and wiped her hands on an apron before removing it.

"Oh my goodness, I was expecting one young stud and look what walked in, two of you, and Wow!... look at you girls, you both look gorgeous...aren't you guys lucky. I'm sure she was including Colin in that. I introduced Davey and could see his interest almost immediately as Jan eyed him up. Once again I was in the presence of the woman who just oozed sex in an undefinable way. Aliesha gave Jan a kiss on the cheek after Cindy gave her a hug, as did Davey and I. Jan wore a skirt that was split up the side so high, that it was obvious she wore no panties, but it was her blouse that caught my eye. It was semi see-through, and the sheerness of the fabric perfectly outlined her tits.

"Right drinks. Who's for wine, who's for beer? I'm just firing up the barbeque if you guys want to join me out the back." Colin loaded our beer and wine into the fridge.

I've got to admit Colin was a good host. He was easy to converse with and didn't try and dominate the conversation showing a genuine interest in Davey and I, our surfing, Dave's sailing and his building career. The conversation moved on to music when I mentioned Colin's No 1 hit. I didn't consider throwing guitars into the car, they wouldn't have fitted anyway, and it wasn't exactly on the agenda. Colin finished cooking the steaks and we moved into a dining room where the girls were chatting away as they set up the table.

Colin sat between Cindy and Aliesha and Jan between Davey and me. The conversation was easy despite the elephant in the room. To say sitting next to Jan didn't have an effect on me would be telling a lie. I was well aware of her dress with the split on the side having ridden right up to expose her naked hip. She was teasing and she knew it. As I snuck a glance, her hand unseen, patted the top of my thigh. I'm sure Jan would have been more than happy for me to slip my hand inside her dress.

The steaks and salad went down well, as did the beers. I noticed that Aliesha had downed a couple of glasses of wine already, but Cindy was just sipping hers, her beautiful green eyes seemed to be bigger than normal and every so often she would glance at Colin.

The conversation changed to the repairs on the boat shed, and I told Colin of the need to replace the end sheets of roofing iron.

"No. We won't muck around with a few sheets, let's replace the whole thing. I'll send out our preferred contractor and they can do it. You lot have done enough Tim. Davey...we'll expect an invoice for your hours and don't be stingy, I know you've all contributed. Include your travel too Davey. I guess you've taken a couple of days off work to help out. Like I told Tim the other day, the company owe you heaps."

The Dining table was a big square wooden one and there was no way to see what might be happening on the other side of it, but something was going on as Aliesha closed her eyes and opened her mouth for a few seconds. Colin had one hand holding a beer and the other I'm picking was between Aliesha's legs. Cindy glanced down to watch what was going on.

"We've got a few house rules guys that I want to run over with you. Firstly, whatever happens here stays here. We need to be discreet as this is a small town and rumours can wreck reputations. The girls get to call the shots and it's important that we respect their wishes, so we need a safe word. If it's used we stop whatever is going down and that goes for everyone. No rough play unless it's requested by someone. Respect is the key to having fun and everyone feeling comfortable at the same time. Trust Jan to instigate and guide proceedings, she is very good at judging people's emotional and sexual needs. Sorry to sound so formal but we need to be on the same page. Do you girls want to choose a safe word? Something that your familiar with and won't forget."

What Colin was saying brought out the reality of the situation we had agreed to be a part of.

"How about 'Blouse?" Cindy said.

"I wasn't expecting that. Is that okay with everyone?" We all agreed.

"Right," said Jan. "Now's the time to give me a bit of direction as to how you might want things to evolve. I've got a lot of toys, dress up clothes, uniforms. Most of us have fantasies and this is the place to realise them. It's up to you, but hopefully you'll take the opportunity get rid of any inhibitions. Please don't be embarrassed by telling me...anything goes. Cindy do you have any fantasies you'd like to play out?" This was a leading question from Jan, she already knew about Cindy's daddy fetish.

"Cinders has got a daddy fetish and wants to be fucked by lots of cocks." Aliesha had a silly grin on her face.

"Ali!!. You bitch...Ali likes to be fucked in the arse and have guy's come over her bum." Cindy poked her tongue out and pulled a face at her best friend. We all laughed.

"Well that's a good start, what about you guys?"

"Umm...we're probably happy just to supply the dicks Jan." Davey smiled at her.

"Does anyone have an issue with getting it on with someone else's partner?"

"No...we've discussed that Jan, at least for tonight we've agreed anything goes."

"Great, and what about you guys, is there anything you'd like to try or maybe you'd like to see, remember we're open to everything."

Davey and I looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders.

"Come on boy's...how about one each, what turns you on?"

"Right now Jan it's your tits. I'm not that big on tits, but I can't keep my eyes off yours in that top. If I have a fetish it's probably a pair of long legs spread wide showing a pair of wet panties." Cindy grinned at me.

Davey's turn. "Umm...nothing turns me on more than a chick on her knees and elbows with her arse pointed into the air inviting me to fuck whatever hole I want."

"Tell me about it," quipped Aliesha, raising her eyebrows to the ceiling.

Jan laughed. "Okay I think we might be able to manage all that. Now if you girls give me a hand to clear up, I'll show you some of my wardrobe, and maybe there's something there that might take your fancy."

"Just got a question for you. Occasionally we smoke a bit of dope, usually when we play a gig. I figure it might be a good way tonight to help us relax. How do you feel about that? Doesn't matter if you'd rather we didn't." Davey looked between Colin and Jan who smiled at one another.

"Not a problem. Jan and I have tried it before and have been thinking about getting some ourselves."

"Cool, what I've got is pretty strong, so maybe only a couple of hits each. Don't want to get smashed or we'll all fall asleep."

"Do we do it now or later?"

"Maybe a bit later, can we smoke in the house or maybe outside?."

"Better we smoked inside I reckon, just in case the neighbours get a whiff of it."

Colin, Davey and I headed down into the playroom where Davey checked out the drums and 'National' guitar. Like me he had never played one. Colin pulled an acoustic out of a cupboard and handed it to me so that I could tune it, then hopped onto the drum set.

"Youngs 'Old Man' do you know that Colin?"

"I think so, play a couple of riffs."

Colin soon picked up on what I played. "I'll go base," said Davey.

We'd been listening to laughter and squeals coming from upstairs which stopped as we started playing. Colin had a grin on his face when he heard Davey's rendition of Neil Young's voice. He once again didn't overpower the guitars and voices by belting the beat out on the drums.

The girls must have quietly snuck onto the top of the stairs because as we finished there was clapping, cheering, and Aliesha let out a piercing wolf whistle. "Play another one." Cindy called out.

"'Only love can break your heart.' Know that Colin?"

"Yep. Started to listen to a bit of Neil Young after you mentioned him and sang the other night...becoming a bit of a fan."

This was a slower song, and I was able to join Davey in the chorus. Aliesha made her way down the stairs grinning at us. I think Davey and I missed a couple of notes. Aliesha was wearing a baby doll lingerie set of black lace panties and bra with a see-through short lace jacket. The panties and Bra were just triangles of lace with strings holding them together. Davey was ginning like the proverbial cat. She did a twirl in front of us and then started dancing to the song.

Next down the stairs came Cindy. What I saw took my breath away. Cindy had transformed into a schoolgirl. Her hair was pulled back into two pony tails. She wore a blouse that was tied in a knot at her navel and a plaid pleated skirt that was so short it didn't fully cover her crotch. She was grinning as she twirled in front of me so that her skirt spun up to her waste showing brief cotton panties, before her and Aliesha came together and started to waltz to the song.
