"Did I tell you I was getting married?"
"Excuse me?" I answered in a shocked voice. I felt the shocked tone was justified, because Luke told me this as I had my feet pointed at the raftered ceiling of the summer house at Rose Landing on the James River and was at the edge of ejaculation with his cock somewhere close to my intestines.
A real jack-off killer that was.
"Yes, oufff," Luke repeated. He was pumping me hard now, but it was going to be a no go as far as I was concerned after that little bombshell he dropped. "Yep, Claire and I are tying the knot on August 22nd."
Bombshell number two. I gave up on the fuck and pushed him off me. He rolled to my side on the chaise lounge, but he didn't leave me. He still held me in his embrace. I looked over at him and frowned. He had a sly little grin on his face. Oh how that silly little grin of his irritated me.
"You're joking, of course," I said.
"I'm not, of course," he replied. He sighed. "Claire makes me come."
"I make you come," I declared, not all that quietly.
"Claire makes me come in the normal way," he answered. He was having fun with this, I could tell.
"Come is come," I retorted. "None of it is normal. In fact, it's all pretty silly if you really think about it—God's little joke on mankind. Take a look at the act sometimes."
"There are no mirrors out here in the summerhouse, and you won't let me make love to you in the house. Besides that, you're changing the subject."
"Am not," I answered.
"Are too," he retorted. Still that silly grin.
"What has Claire got that I haven't got?" I cried out, even sicker of that grin. "Besides a real cunt, of course. Speaking of which, do you have any sort of idea of how much of a cunt Claire can be when she's on her high horse?"
"That's what she called me the other day," Luke said, and then he gave me a little laugh. "Her high horse. Horse hung. You know."
"Yesssss, yes, I know what you meant," I hissed between my teeth. Not much I could say about that, though. Luke indeed was horse hung. But he was my horse, dammit.
I tried silence. His hand was gliding over my body, though, pinching this protrusion, exploring that crevice. I felt like coming again.
"Claire's rich," he said, picking up the thread even if I was going to pretend it didn't exist.
So much for feeling the seed rising again.
"I'm rich," I whispered.
"Claire's got a great house on the James."
"This is a great house on the James," I said. "And I own it lock, stock, and barrel—have done so for three hundred years."
"Ah, but Claire's house is named Jameston Hall. And Claire is a Jameston."
"I am a Jameston," I yelled out in frustration. This teasing was getting tiresome, and I was running out of snappy rejoinders. I wanted to be fucked to satisfaction. I was sorry I had ever introduced Luke to my niece, Claire. If I hadn't thought that cocking me was enough for him to have no interest in that little maneater, I never would have let them meet.
"You have Philip Williams," he said, once more in a whisper, a pointed whisper, tossed out with some venom.
There it was then, at last. I had Philip. I wouldn't let Luke fuck me in the house, but I had Philip sleeping in my bed.
"You've never liked Philip," I said.
"No, no I haven't. He has shifty eyes."
"He's a Williams. That's a family trait. The Williamses are proud of it—and have every right to be. They were here when the Jamestons arrived on these shores."
"Only by about a month . . . and that in the early eighteenth century. Isn't it time to put First Families of Virginia snobbery to bed?"
"Oh fuck the FFV stuff. That's the real issue here, isn't it, Luke? It's about who puts me to bed, isn't it?" I asked. I sat up on the chaise and looked down at him. "And stop doing that if you aren't going to fuck me properly." He was fondling my cock with his hand. "You are upset because I won't say I'll kick Philip out of my bed and take you in."
"Yep, bingo, finally got it," Luke said, and then he couldn't speak further for a while because his mouth was busy on my cock. I laid back and groaned and ground my pelvis into his face. Very close to ejaculating once more.
"What's Philip got that I don't? I mean, are you saying he has even an inch on me?"
Killed that ejaculation again. He had pulled off me at the strategic moment and was looking down into my face, silly grin back in place.
"It would be awkward," I said. "All Richmond would talk. A Jameston giving the gate to a Williams? They'd be scandalized. There are unspoken rules."
"They aren't scandalized already because you are both men?"
"No. Strangely not. Maybe because there were few woman here back in the beginning. More likely because we are both FFV; there's no end to the perversity the South will put up with in their FFV. It's almost equal in its genteel way to the tabloid empires of Los Angeles and our movie stars. Oh, hell, why are we even talking about this, Luke? Are you going to make me come or not?"
"I could make you come on the altar during the wedding service . . . on August 22nd . . . the day I marry your niece, Claire."
