Walking back from the restaurant they passed an antique shop. There it stood in the window - an ancient four poster bed with a bold notice, 'QUEEN ELIZABETH SLEPT HERE?'.
'Bet she didn't,' he said.
'No, but think Max, wouldn't it be fascinating to know who did,' she said.
'Pick the right companion and you wouldn't get much sleep in it,' he observed.
'And would I be the right companion,' Liz squeezed his arm.
Max backed off and swept her a low, gracious bow, 'The most desirable I can imagine.'
She tugged him back to her, 'Well don't keep me waiting. You can prove it to me at my place.'
'Your wish is my command. Oh, sexy one!'
-oOo-
They next noticed it a month later while window shopping.
'That bed's still there,' she said.
'Too big for most places.'
'Not really Max. Not for your new warehouse conversion.'
'Maybe not, but I'd feel lost, all alone in a bed that size.'
'Who said you'd be alone?'
'Is that an offer to move in with me?'
'If the conditions are right,' Liz said.
'What conditions?'
'Only one, this Elizabeth gets to sleep in her ancestor's bed.'
'Only sleep?'
-oOo-
'Shouldn't it have a canopy,' Liz lay back and stared at the ceiling.
Max raised his head from her breast, rolled off her and looked up. As he inspected the top of the bed his hand continued to stroke the pussy he had just filled. 'You know I think you're right. What's the point of curtains to shelter us from draughts if the top's left open?'
'We could get some material and fit one.'
'Sure, though be difficult to match that brocade,' he said.
'Aren't there lightweight plastic mirrors around now. We could fit one across the top.'
'Real kinky that would be. But why not? Be too dark though, with the curtains drawn.'
'We'll clip small lights to the top of the posts. Three to avoid shadows - maybe put a video recorder on the fourth,' she decided.
'Mmm . . . might be nice to get a different view of our exploits, though I'm not sure I'm ready to record them for my dotage. Anyway I haven't got enough cash left for a camera as well.'
'On the sales bonuses you get. Come off it! You're just afraid your performance isn't up to standard.'
'You've never complained.'
'I think more testing is required,' she reached down and grasped his tool. 'Yes, that should be stiff enough to resume its duty.'
-oOo-
'That was fantastic.'
'It was fitting the mirror that did it.'
'Sure Max, if you say so. If tomorrow's photo call weren't so early I'd demand a repeat, but I better get some sleep or the camera will show the bags under my eyes.'
'Well I'm always willing to oblige, however if you're really going to sleep I'll switch the lights off.'
'Max.'
'Yes?'
'Look up in the mirror. What do you see?'
'With the lights off, nothing.'
'No, I mean it. Open your eyes and look.'
'Mi . . . gawd, there's a couple having it off.'
'Yes. But if it were a reflection it would be us, but they're not us.'
'You're right. Say, he's really pounding her.'
'I never thought I would be a voyeur, Max. But somehow I feel with her.'
'Know what you mean. It's like a film, yet more real, more immediate. Could do with some sound though.'
'There is some, if you listen hard.'
'You're right, I can just hear her moaning,' he said. 'Look at her expression, she's coming. And, yes, so is he.'
'It's getting dimmer.'
'Perhaps if we turned the lights on.' He reached up to the switch clamped onto the headboard. 'No, all I can see now is us.'
'Turn them off again.'
'Aye, aye, Mam.'
'Doesn't make any difference. They've disappeared.'
'You know she was some woman, though I think you've got bigger boobs.'
'That's how you like them - big and bouncy.'
'You know me too well.'
'Keep to the point.'
'I thought I was. Bit limp right now but it could be ready to resume any minute.'
'Not that point. The reflection. Where did that come from? We both saw it, so it can't be imagination.'
'I don't know. All we can do is wait and see if it happens again.'
-oOo-
'Three times tonight. You're doing well.' Liz said.
'We pride ourselves on our customer service.'
'Max! Did you hear that?'
'What?'
'I thought I heard someone say "Come and be fucked".'
'I didn't, but what a good idea.'
'Look there! In the mirror. It's at it again.'
They gazed up. In the reflection the curtains along the side of the bed were parted. A middle-aged figure in doublet and hose had his arm around a young, pretty maid in a long drab dress. She stood passively as he pulled her to face the bed and unlaced the bodice, letting it slip from her shoulders to the floor. Her camisole followed, then her pantalets. Naked, he urged her onto the bed while he swiftly shed his own clothes, then leapt after her.
Placing a knee alongside each of her ears, he lent forward into the sixty-nine position and lowered his mouth to her fleshy, downy mound. She raised her head to his tool, where it hung just above her lips, and began to lick its knob. She moaned as he found her clit, circling and flicking it with his tongue, then sucking it as he pushed first one then two fingers inside her cunt.
Pulling his fingers from her and lifting his head he turned face to face with her. 'Don't stop,' she moaned grabbing his hand and trying to force it back inside her.
'Don't stop what?' He looked down on her.
'Fucking me, my Lord. Please, please fuck me now. You said you would.'
'So be it.'
Grasping her knees he pulled them high and wide and drove his weapon in deep. Her cries of pleasure rang round the rafters as he hammered her hard, forcing his cock in up to the hilt before drawing it almost out again. Meanwhile his hands were mauling her shapely tits, pulling them, squeezing them, pinching their nipples.
'Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's it, but harder, harder. AHHHH!' She cried out as she came. He didn't pause but again and again rammed into her until suddenly, stiffening, he clearly filled her with his seed.
'Thank you my Lord. Thank you.'
Mesmerized Max and Liz watched as the reflection? image? picture? slowly faded.
'Who were they? Liz asked.
'No idea. If it was a film I'd have said a master and maid saga of the Middle Ages. But as it is . . . . .'
'Where is it coming from?'
'Beats me. Must be some form of ESP. Can't be anything else.'
'But you're normally a rational guy. You don't believe in that mystic stuff.'
'I don't. But right now I can't think of any other answer.'
'Well, it doesn't seem dangerous. So perhaps we just wait and see what happens next.'
-oOo-
'Thank you, darling.'
'No, thank you,' Max said. 'I wonder if the mirror will perform tonight?'
'We won't know unless you dowse the lights. Good. Yes, look it's already started.'
'But it's another couple.'
They stared at the couple in the mirror as the man gathered the woman in his arms, and lifted her from the pillows, her full breasts flattened against his chest. Slowly, deeply, he kissed her open mouth. His hands went to her shoulders and eased down the straps of her night-dress, but the pressure of her nipples on his flesh held it trapped until he lent back and the silk slid to her waist. Kneeling he lifted her to ease it from under her buttocks then gripped the edge of her briefs and ripped them off leaving her naked.
Laying beside her the man propped himself on one elbow, his other hand cupping a breast, the tip of his long, hard cock brushing her leg. For several long minutes they lay quiet the only movement his finger and thumb slowly massaging her nipple. Liz and Max could almost taste the sex, or was it the lingering scent of their own coupling?
Then his hand slid slowly down from her breast to her swollen pussy with its sparse sprinkling of dark hair. His middle finger found her the lips of her mound and slid in to stroke her clit. She reached her left hand up, and put her fingers deeply into the thick hair on the back of his head, pulled his face down and kissed him, thrusting her tongue in his mouth. She tugged him on top of her, pulling him down onto her ripe young body. 'Take me, take me now,' she moaned.
His hands were touching every part of her. Her hips, her legs, her thighs, her pussy, her breasts. Pausing and lingering nowhere. She eased her hips; spread her legs wide to accept his big, rock hard erection inside her wet cleft, then stretched them up and round him, arching her back and locking him to her.
He pushed her back down, fought her to get the space to withdraw and re-enter, to pull out and drive in, to rub her clitoris. He rose on straight arms and thrust into her repeatedly.
Watching Max and Liz saw his face change - he had lost control - he was going to come, to fill her. Legs stretched up high in a vee she climaxed with him. Empty he slumped down on top of her then rolled to one side panting with his exertions.
With a sigh Liz let out the breath she had been holding. 'That's two couples. How many of them do you think there are?'
Max thought a moment. 'How would I know? You're the one who wants to know who had slept here in the past. Perhaps it will show us all of them.'
'Makes me reluctant to go away - even for the couple of weeks the shoot will take,' Liz said.
'Don't be silly, you'll enjoy the sun, sand and sangria. If you notice it only happens after we've fucked. A quiet night and we don't get a performance, so I doubt you'll miss anything Liz - except my shaft.'
-oOo-
'Rachel, Rachel, Rachel,' Max moaned as his seed cascaded forth. Empty he slumped on top of her.
She lowered her legs and pushed him off. 'Well and how do I compare with your Liz?'
