Chapter 7 - Women who would be men.
Margaret watched her approach and with each step she took her smile grew. When she arrived next to her, Margaret asked her, "What was all that about?"
"Helen thought I was a whore and offered to pay me to go with her. I turned her down," Corrine gave the elegant older woman a sad look with puppy dog eyes. "I sent her in Madeleine's direction, seeing as she is in her submissive mood tonight,"
Corrine looked over her shoulder at Helen who was in deep conversation with the group of women who had Madeleine bare-chested, and she witnessed them look in her direction, she smiled and waved at them from across the room. She saw Helen take Madeleine by her hand and lead her not to the loveseat as she expected but into the corner where there was a full-size Billiard Table. She saw Helen take off her jacket and unbutton her trousers. She stood there as Madeleine took Helen's trousers down and off. She helped her sit up onto the edge of the table as Helen then took her knickers down and then off and gave them to the tutor. The tutor's head disappeared between the legs of the woman in white. They both watched as Helen rested her elbows back onto the green felt of the billiard table and her head started to move in time with Madeleine's movements.
"Corrine, you are awful. Why would you do that to Madeleine, she's your friend?" The tone she used was one that Corrine couldn't interpret. Was she really scolding her?
Corrine turned and faced her, moved in closer, and looked into her eyes as if she were trying to see into her soul. The look was long and deep. She told her quietly. "She is isn't she, yet she put me over her knee and spanked me in front of everyone. That was after I told her that I couldn't be her sub,"
Corrine stayed there enticing Margaret, tempting her. Margaret smiled and her and the tip of her tongue protruded from her mouth and then they kissed. It was a lust-filled kiss the heat built within them both and Margaret could no longer contain her desire for this much younger woman, she put her hands under her cardigan and slowly edged them up over her hips as she continued to kiss this desirable creature. "Oh My God I think I want you," She panted.
"You only think you want me. I must be losing my appeal,"
Margaret hugged her tightly and felt the warmth of her body against hers. "Where do you live?" She asked.
"With my mum and dad," Corrine answered without thinking.
"I gathered that, but where, as in what suburb?" Margaret continued.
Corrine laughed and hugged Margaret. "Why do you want to know?"
"So I know where to take you when I drop you home,"
"So you are dropping me home, are you? My clothes are at Madeleine's you know,"
"I did wonder. Am I stepping on her toes by inviting you home to my place?"
Corrine shook her head slowly, then looked at her and reminded her of their earlier conversation. "I thought you were looking for something more permanent than just a one-night stand,"
"Who said this was going to be just a one-night stand?"
"I just did," Corrine told her, all the while looking into her eyes.
"Are you certain sweetie?" Margaret asked while holding her gaze. She dropped her hands to her backside and fondled them gently. Corrine caught her breath as a sudden erotic bolt of electricity shot through her veins.
Her breathing was increasing. "Pretty certain. I am only 18 you know and there is so much I have to do," Corrine was still looking deep into her eyes and couldn't break away from her gaze. Not that she wanted to. Something was keeping her attached to her beautiful green eyes.
"You are 18 and I am 47. I understand why you don't want to come home with me," Their voices were barely more than a whisper and Corrine had thrown her arms around Margaret's neck not wanting to let go.
"I didn't say NO," Corrine told her. Her tone is a little more forceful when she gets cornered. "I do want to go home with you," Their lips met once more.
"I think we should leave now, don't you?" Margaret said.
"I think so too, do you live far away?" Corrine asked.
"Ten minutes but the way I am feeling right now I could do it in five," She explained, the smile on her face told Corrine just how enthusiastic Margaret was.
"Oh good," Corrine too was feeling the passion between them.
As was customary Margaret went to speak with Peggy before leaving, just to say thank you for the invite. Corrine clung to her arm. Like a child holding on to her mummy. Something that wasn't missed by most people there. Corrine had a strange feeling when she was with Margaret, she acted like a child yet felt more like an adult than she had ever done.
"Would you tell Madeleine, when she isn't so busy, that Corrine is with me and we will give her a call before we pick up her clothes," Margaret explained. Corrine didn't say a word, just smiled and when she saw Betty she held her gaze. Corrine blew her a kiss as they left.
Francis was sitting in her armchair and watched as they left. Claudette also watched them both as they left, she smiled to herself and whispered c'est la guerre (it can't be helped: {that's war})
Corrine had been a popular guest come maid at this monthly meeting of 'Women who would be Men'.
The night air outside of the old stables was refreshing after the smoke-filled games room. And both women took in deep breaths. Margaret liked that Corrine was still clinging to her arm as she walked her over to an old model Jaguar, it was a 1961 XK 150S. Not that Corrine knew what it was, it could have been a Tesla for all she cared at that moment. Margaret unlocked the car with a key and opened her door. The leather seat was cold on her backside even after she pulled the cardigan down to sit on. The seat belts again were old-fashioned to her and non-retractable, which to her seemed strangely odd. She struggled at first to find it and after it was explained to her, she was still none the wiser. Margaret found the buckle for her and carefully adjusted the belt, her arm brushed against Corrine's chest, sending electric shock waves rushing to her core. Corrine rested her head backward, but there were no headrests. Her head went right back and she gasped.
"Oh, wow. How old is this car?" She asked in amazement.
"It is a classic, much like me," Margaret answered. "It was built in 1961, so it's a few years older than me,"
The radio didn't even have FM so she listened to whatever Margaret had on. The ABC classical station. It fits in with the car, the person, and the whole atmosphere. Corrine felt so relaxed and adult-like.
Margaret brought the car to life, it growled and then purred as she let it warm up. She managed the manual car like a veteran she was. She carefully guided the engine through the gears until she found a comfortable speed just within the speed limit. Corrine turned towards her and watched as she took the car through the back streets and out onto the motorway. There she allowed the car to roar. Corrine smiled as she was pushed back into her seat. Margaret turned the music down and started to talk to her.
"What are your plans when you are finished with your schooling?" She asked.
"Not sure yet, going to University and getting an arts degree I think,"
"Why?" Margaret asked.
She shrugged her shoulders, "Something I want to do,"
"So you have no plans for the future then? What about a family and some sort of career?" She asked as they drove on, through the now crowded city streets.
"A family," Corrine replied laughing. "No, no plans for a family, I don't have a maternal bone in my body,"
