Half and hour later seated at the sSs BBQ Barns Steakhouse with Duke, their knees touching, Lisa said she was so excited.
"The house is much bigger than I expected and better. You have negotiated a great buy. I think that fourth bedroom at the back looking out to the pool should be converted into a recreation room with a bar and sliding glass doors installed giving direct access to the deck and a great outlook to the pool."
Duke looked at her with interest. "That was my thinking. It would alter the flow of the house but who cares? It's a practical development. I could make it smaller to add a changing room with shower and toilet. I noticed the wastes lines already reticulate from that side of the house so that conversion would be a breeze."
They talked excitedly and held hands.
After leisurely coffee, Lisa said, "Can we go back to your apartment for sex?"
"Sure. I thought you would have said to make love?"
Lisa giggled. "The term did spring to mind but then I wondered if you knew what that meant."
Sporting a huge grin Duke stood and held out his hand.
Misty greeted them and after she was fed Lisa looked at Duke deeply and he began undressing her.
"You know I haven't had a decent look at your tits yet."
Lisa said solemnly, "And your other point of focus?"
"I'm also interested in belly, legs and ass."
"Oooh."
After removing the bra and licking Lisa's breasts, the nipples responding, he said, "Do you mind if I leave your hold-ups?"
"So you like fucking women with their stockings on?"
"Well I find hold-ups sexy and did I say anything about other women?"
Lisa coloured and said no and he grinned and said it was okay, he didn't want to hide anything from her. He lifted her on to the leather sofa in the lounge.
"Oooh."
Duke closely inspected the shaved pussy.
"Do I pass inspection doctor?"
He said it looked good enough to eat and swooped down and sampled a mouthful.
Lisa squealed.
When he finished she held up his dick and inspected it, bringing a stupid grin to Duke's face.
"Why don't you try eating it?"
She sunk down to do that, murmuring, "Oh boy, do I like doing this."
Later she straddled him, facing him and inserted his dick slowly, they both watching what was happening. When she was ready she said, "I'm expecting you to move your ass and play with my swinging boobs."
"Oh I'm sure you won't be disappointed," he leered.
Lisa ended up staying the night and got what she wanted again at a 5:45 when the alarm went off, set to give them time for a leisurely wake-up.
A fortnight after that memorably evening, Duke and Lisa went to Neville and Jean Copeland's farm to attend their 25th wedding celebrations along with thirty other couples. Those of Duke's fellow executives attending had not met Lisa previously and there was great interest in her including from partners. Two invitations to bring Duke to dinner were issued and Duke was pleased to hear that because it indicated acceptance. He was keen to see Lisa develop friends outside the medical establishment.
Lisa's parents were among the last to arrive, Bert Fulton having come home late after assisting his men strip down a clogged water pump under one of the windmills. She was astounded to see her mom after greeting her make a beeline for Duke and was all over him. Jean and Patricia monopolised him for the best part of an hour and a couple of times when their eyes locked Duke winked at Lisa and that had her experiencing feelings she could not recall ever having for a guy.
Lisa took her father aside and said, "Dad keep an eye on mom. She's all over Duke. What is this?"
"It's just women's stuff darling. You'll learn it in due course. Those two talk on the phone every day about you two. It's mainly made-up crap, sheer speculation, but it began beefing up when Jean began passing on reports about you two being seen together. Then came real hard news about Duke buying the Simpson's property and you going to inspect it and what a delightful young couple Eva Simpson said you were."
"Oh god, sorry dad. We were saving that as a surprise. Duke takes over the property on Friday week and I'll be moving in with him. We were going to surprise you by inviting you for dinner the next night."
"Well no skin off my nose. Now you know why your mother and Jean are all over Duke. They want to know all about his plans for the house and how good you are in bed."
"Dad!"
"Well I did make that last bit up but don't be surprised if Duke tells you he was grilled about that. You know what country women are like."
"But Mrs Copeland lives mostly in the city these days."
"Her heart remains in the country dear and there will be no changing that. Women born and reared rural tend to retain that notion of origin wherever they might relocate and in thinking like that are almost as bad as men. Oh now those two women know you are having sex regularly with Duke I expect Jean will invite you to call her Jean because she has confirmation you are one of them."
"That's bullshit dad. I'm not of her generation."
Later that evening Jean told Lisa, "You must call me Jean darling. I've been hearing about your and my handsome hero Duke."
"Thank you Jean," was all the near speechless Lisa could say for the moment.
More than two months later, with renovations to the house almost finished, Lisa arrived home grim-faced.
"Hi darling, oh look at that grim face. Did one of those two kids you worried about not make it?"
She moved away and faced Duke, trembling. "It's almost as bad, the end of us I'm afraid. The next step in my training will be in residency at Broken Hill."
"Jesus, for how long?"
"A year minimum and then I may be rotated elsewhere or I might be required to stay put for another year or two before being rotated."
"Jesus."
"You don't like it do you? Well neither do I. I fought to stay here and even pleaded just for a year but to no avail. I move to Broken Hill in two weeks."
