Sunday 19 March 1978
"Good Morning Sandra," came George's voice from the Garden room as I entered the kitchen, the aroma of fresh coffee drifting through to my nostrils. A reflex took control of my hands, and I pulled my bathrobe belt tight.
"Good afternoon, you mean," Jen corrected as she lowered the broadsheet newspaper she held.
I stared sheepishly at the coffee table as I muttered, "Yes. Good aftermorning you two."
After the fucking of my life in the early hours of the morning, on the very coffee table on which Jen was about to put her coffee down, I'd slept like a log. In fact, it was now after twelve.
"There's a full pot of coffee in there, San," Jen informed me. "Help yourself to anything you want."
"Thanks. I'll just have toast for now."
Even though I'd wiped and wiped this morning, I imagined I could still feel George's copious semen seeping onto my thighs.
"No, Jay?" Jen asked. I could feel her x-ray vision peering through my robe. Did her nostrils flare, smelling George's juices?
"No. I think he's gone for a walk. He does that sometimes. He was up quite early." Not fucking early enough to stop your husband shagging my brains out, I thought. "I'll just do some toast."
"Trish's gone out as well. She sometimes goes down to the prom, just to watch the ships coming and going."
Really, I thought. Jay's out for a walk; Raven's out for a walk. I wondered if they'd gone together.
My toast had just popped when Jay walked in holding a newspaper. I stared at the rolled-up tree in his hand. "Since when did you get a Sunday paper?"
"Oh, this? There's an interesting article in it."
"It's big enough!"
"Couple of magazines came with it. That's where the articles are."
"You could have had ours after we'd finished," said George.
"I think you're doing enough for us."
A lot more than you can imagine, I thought. "Would you like some toast?" I asked Jay.
"Not half!"
"What time did you get up?"
"About eight. Were you up in the middle of the night?"
I certainly was, I thought. And George was up, as well. Well, up me. "Yes. I woke around three and couldn't get back to sleep." I cast a furtive glance at George. "I came down and had some sweet milk." And a lot of sex.
"You seemed to be gone for ages." George seemed to be grinning; he probably wasn't, but I was feeling a bit paranoid. "I woke up a couple of times and you weren't there." Fuck! Does Jay know? I thought.
"Well, milk was too hot to drink. And I cleaned up after myself." And George cleaned up after us. I watched as Jen put her cup down again, right where I'd dripped the cocktail of spunk.
"You okay?" Jay asked, concerned.
"Yes. Why?" No, I'm feeling fucking guilty for letting our mate's dad finally have his way with me.
"You just seem a bit subdued."
"It's the disturbed sleep that does it." And the sore fanny! I changed the subject. "Been anywhere nice?"
"Walked all the way up to Hightown. Called into the newsagent by the station for a juice. That's where I got this." He lifted the newspaper. "I thought of jumping a train back, but there was a ticket guy on the platform."
Jay's toast had popped and I started buttering. "You could have just paid the fare."
"What? At those rip-off prices."
"Cheapskate!"
I made some more toast for myself and we took the food and coffee back to our room, where Jay sat on the bed reading while I ran a bath.
***
I sat on the edge of the original Victorian bath, staring at the running water as it cascaded into the foam on the surface. The temptation was to join Jay on our bed, but I'd want to tell him about George and what he'd threatened about the threesome with Jay. I couldn't decide if I was afraid that Jay would express his disapproval or excitement at the thought of fucking Raven's mother.
My brain was a whirlpool of emotions. The flutters in my fanny battled with the guilt I felt at being well and truly rutted by the husband of the woman who had been so generous to us. Jay was sitting on our bed, oblivious to the fact, while I was in here about to soak away the emissions deposited inside me not seven hours ago. He was reading his intellectual articles, while I was not only remembering the fucking Jay had given me, but reminiscing about the multiple orgasms to which our host had treated me. I toyed with telling Jay, but I'd also have to tell him that it had been the best fuck of my life. How would that make him feel?
"I'm getting in the bath," I called through the open bathroom door.
"I'll leave you to enjoy it for a while before I join you," he offered. "You want to read one of these?"
"No. It's okay." I wouldn't be able to concentrate, anyway.
The water was still very warm and the foam still, well foamy, when I heard the voice from a distance. "Sandra." I opened my eyes to see Jay removing his final piece of clothing - socks.
"We're in the bath," Jay called to her.
Before my senses had fully recovered, Raven had appeared framed in the bathroom door. Her eyes fixed on Jay's crotch as he struggled to pull off his final sock. The rush to take it off slowed him down.
"Raven!" Jay shouted. "You're making a habit of this.
"I don't know what the fuss is about," she replied. "I have seen it all before. Well, I've actually seen more of it."
Aye, up close and very personal. I didn't voice the thought. Water splashed over the sides as Jay dropped as fast as he could to cover his embarrassment. "Yes, well," Jay shot back. "I've seen you and all, but you wouldn't like it if I burst in on you."
"Honestly. It wouldn't bother me. I can strip off as well if it makes you feel more comfortable." She began to unzip her jeans.
"No!" Jay and I shouted in unison.
"That's not necessary." I added.
Raven stopped and zipped up again, then sat on the toilet lid.
"So next time you're having a bath," Jay continued, "we'll just come marching in and watch you, shall we?"
"You're more than welcome," Raven replied. "There's nothing about this body I feel ashamed of."
"Yes, well," I said. "If I had a body like yours, I'd want to display it as well." The last word came out with a squeak, as I felt Jay's toe stroke my vulva. I shot him a look.
"Hang on, missy. I didn't say I want to display it. And there's not a thing about your body to be ashamed of, either." She was staring at the water as if trying to see through the bubbles at what Jay's foot was doing.
"Anyway," I said, pushing Jay's foot away. "What did you want?"
"Just to see if you wanted some lunch."
"We're a bit busy."
"I don't mean now. Though I could bring it up to you."
"No. That's okay. We'll come down for it later."
"Okay. But make sure you have something. There'll be food at Thena's, but it'll be after the ritual."
"Oh, yes." I remembered that we were all off to Thena and Bram's, the Black couple in the coven. "We'll be sure to eat something."
"Right, I'm off to eat. See you down there." She left.
Jay let out a sigh. "I thought she'd never leave."
