In this one, which is set in Yorkshire, England in the summer of 1976, the pub barmaid begins a naughty little game. She likes to show off, and she likes to watch him play with his cock. The thing is she's also his father's girlfriend - but that doesn't stop her from enjoying her fun.

Tuesday nights we'd play the game, always by her rules. Tuesday night, every second week. We always waited for twenty minutes to make sure he'd gone -- he'd come back that once and scared the shit out of us both, and so we learned to wait.
It had evolved over the course of a few months during the hot summer of 1976, this game, and in my more lucid moments, when my chest wasn't tight with anticipation, or all my attention focussed on her, the barmaid, I recognised how crazy we were to play it. I wondered what would happen if the old man found out what was going on in his own pub between his son and a barmaid -- not just any old barmaid either, Joy wasn't just my father's employee, she was his girlfriend.
As it happened I'd find out what my father thought, but of course, by then, things had changed and the worry had been unnecessary.
Dad owned the pub, had built up the business through a combination of a windfall inheritance -- the seed money to invest in the place he'd always wanted -- hard work, and an ability to read people. The business grew, slowly at first until word got round that Dad ran a good pub. He knew how to make the pub work; knew his clientele. What did most of the farm labourers, factory workers, general tradesmen and occasional rogue appreciate with their evening pint and game of dominoes? Simple, they wanted decent ale, peace from the missis to talk bollocks about the world's rights and wrongs, and some close-to-the-knuckle banter with an attractive barmaid; a good-looking woman who could pull a pint, with a broad mind and a quick retort when the lads went too far with the chat-up; someone who didn't mind showing a bit of skin and who didn't object to a little ogling. In those days, in that provincial town, chauvinism was a fact of life, and my father read it just right, a good spot off the market square at the peripheral edge of a constable's interest, yet close enough for the lads to head for after work.
And two of the sexiest barmaids in the white rose county.
Joy, his girlfriend, who lived with us, was eighteen months older than me, not a great gap, but at our age in '76, she twenty-one, me just short of twenty, our attitudes and experiences differed hugely. Two years ahead of me in school, I recalled her as being the loudest, the brashest, and the most popular; whereas I kept to myself and had few friends.
'I know you,' Joy had sniffed, eyes narrowing while she tried to place me. She peered at me through her cigarette smoke, eventually nodding and grinning. 'Yeah, I remember you,' she said vaguely. 'Didn't know your dad owned this place though.' She looked around with apparent approval, while I tried in vain to keep my eyes from making a heady descent into her cleavage. 'I'm on a month's trial,' Joy added, smirking when she caught the direction of my eyes as they returned from the giddy plunge of her bosom.
I blushed to the roots of my hair.
Three weeks later, ostensibly because of an awkward bus timetable after Joy's evening shifts, she moved in. At first she slept in one of the bed and breakfast bedrooms, but quickly made the journey up the stairs to the third landing -- the private rooms at the top of the old building -- and into Dad's bedroom.
Not too long after that the game started.
It was one of those Tuesday evenings, the precursor to summer where the daylight hours stretched to 8pm. Joy's shift pattern and mine converged every second Tuesday, meaning we were both free from the bar. A knock on my bedroom door lifted my attention from the accounts. My father had plans for expanding his empire and I was being groomed as a manager. I was using the opportunity to scan the numbers when the floorboard on the landing just outside my bedroom door creaked, which broke my concentration from the figures on the page. My mind then pictured a figure of a different sort, and my heartbeat quickened as it always did when I thought of Joy. It could only be her at that part of the house, Dad was out and nobody else had business up there.
There was a knock at the door.
'Let's get this over with,' Joy said brusquely, her parochial accent mashing consonants when, at my call, she pushed open the door. Draped in nothing but a towel, ignoring my baffled, blinking expression, she went on. 'Everywhere I go down in that bloody bar downstairs ...' She pointed an accusing finger. 'You've got your eyes on me arse or me tits all the time.' Instantly I blushed hotly. There was no defence. How did I plead? Guilty of course. My mouth gaped, opening and closing but with no accompanying words. 'So let's just get this over and done,' Joy repeated.
What the hell was she talking about? Get what over and done?
'Uh ...' I managed eventually.
'Here,' Joy spat. 'Have a good, long look ... Take a fuckin' photo if you have to, but mebbe this will keep your eyes of me tits when I'm tryin' to work.' The towel parted. My eyes boggled. Joy stood naked, her pale body magnificently exposed.
Lust flared hot inside me. My cock tingled and thickened of its own accord. In my mind I saw myself launch at Joy, my hands all over her body, squeezing those big jugs, feeling the crisp curls of her bush in my palm. I saw myself stabbing into her with hard, virile strokes, plunging my erection deep, eliciting moans and groans of pleasure from her lips.
But what I did in reality was sit and gawp amid books with columns of numbers spread across my narrow bed. This, even at my advanced age, was the first -- proper, in the flesh, living, breathing -- nude female I'd ever seen.
'Get a good look,' Joy continued. 'Make sure you get a good, long eyeful.' She pirouetted, turning a slow three-sixty, treating me to a leisurely perusal of her derriere. 'Had enough?' she asked, towel clamped in one fist, her head tilted as she regarded me intently. 'Seen what you need to see?'
