THOSE DAYS OF SURPRISES
Chapter 21
Farewell to Virginity
'Does all this sound incredibly bad and wicked to you Roger?' She asked.
When I tried to answer I found that my throat had become dry and tight from what had been going on inside me as I followed her story, clearing it I answered. 'No Barbara. Not wicked, I can understand something of how you felt, and putting myself in Luke's situation I don't honestly think I could have resisted you either.'
'But you did.' she answered, almost accusingly, referring back to the times she had offered herself to me.
'Yes, but that was a bit different. I had only just met your mother, I knew nothing of what had happened to you all, assumed you were her daughter, by birth I mean. You have to agree, most mothers wouldn't take kindly to a man who, having just made love to them for the first time, promptly gets up and fucks her daughter.'
She laughed. 'I suppose if you put it that way you were quite right. Still,' she added with a mischievous grin. 'You missed out on a lot of opportunities didn't you.'
I smiled back at her, remembering the times just the sight of her had given me both a frustrated ache in the pit of my stomach and an almost instant erection. 'True, that's my loss Barbara.'
'And mine too remember!' she protested.
'O.K. yours too, but we're making up for that now aren't we? Anyway, on with you story please.'
'O.K. It was when Granddad got sick that everything really came to a head. Grandma wasn't really able to cope with him so Mum decided she would have to go up there for a while, just long enough to make sure they were both all right and to organise some permanent help for them both. None of us really knew just what she would find, so didn't have any idea how long she would be away.
That first evening Dad and I were not only worried about Granddad but I think that also in the back of our minds we both half expected Mum to come in the front door at any minute, which dampened our enthusiasm about having some time alone together. Then Mum rang and said that Granddad was comfortable, she and Grandma were getting things quite well organised and that she expected to be home the following Sunday. That left us three days, two of them at work. Four evenings, together. And four nights!
After her call our hormones suddenly took over and we spent the next hour or two on the lounge room floor, licking, sucking and masturbating each other until we were both so physically exhausted that we were quite happy to simply head off to our separate beds and sleep.
Over breakfast the following morning he seemed much quieter than usual but when I got home that evening I found that he had got there before me and at first I thought something must have been wrong. But, as he heard me coming through the door he called out from the kitchen in a cheery voice, saying I had one hour to get ready for dinner and that he had a surprise for me.
He'd never been a great cook and I think if he hadn't married he'd have been quite happy to live off something simple like chops, or just take-away stuff. But that night he'd really gone over the top. Three courses, some lovely fresh sea-food, which, I noticed with a grin when we finally sat down together, included lots of oysters, veal, in a really nice sauce and crispy vegetables, then a home-made fruit salad and some of my favourite cheese to finish off. To wash it all down he'd also opened a bottle of a wine that he knew I liked, and as he insisted on serving everything himself and wouldn't let me do anything to help him, I was feeling really spoiled by the time we finished.
I had used the time he gave me to shower and dress myself in a way I thought would please him, a mid-length black skirt and a simple but close fitting top that I knew tended to exaggerate the size and shape of my breasts. But although his eyes were frequently, almost irresistibly drawn to them and we didn't eat in silence, I couldn't help noticing that he carefully kept the conversation right away from anything that could possibly lead to anything personal or hint at what had happened, or, even more importantly to me right then, might happen between us.
When he brought in coffee for us both I saw that he also carried a large, flattish parcel. It's funny, even thinking back on it it's hard to explain, I knew what it was, but knew I had to be wrong, that it couldn't be that. Do you remember times like that, at Christmas or birthdays, someone brings a present, the shape of the parcel tells you exactly what's inside, but you know there is just no way it can be that, it's something else parcelled up to fool you.
