Chapter One
LIBBY'S LAMENT
January 2007.
Roslyn sat and listened quietly.
At times she would either nod her head as if agreeing or understanding or shake it slowly, depending on the response she thought was right at the time. In fact, she knew nothing she said would make a difference. She knew that at the time she was only a trusted sounding board...somebody who could be counted on to listen without the slightest chance of judging and, most of all, not repeating any of it to others.
And it was just breaking her heart.
Libby sat in front of her Mother holding a forgotten cup of tea and pouring out her heartbreak, her disappointment. Things had not gone as she had expected. Not even close. She was shattered.
Libby and Rob Lee had stood in front of their family and friends three months before and solemnly swore, "I do," until death do they part. Expectations built up over her young lifetime were about to begin and Libby couldn't wait. After years of holding back, all those times she could have and didn't, finally she was going to be the recipient of all the wonderful fulfillment and joy that her friends and all the magazines said a vibrant, urgent cock would bring her. That it was Rob's cock almost took a back seat. Now it was "her" cock and the world had promised!
First, the honeymoon to New Zealand. Things were perfect. The mountains, the little hotel, the wonderful food and wine. And the nights. Especially the lovely, quiet nights. It was a scenario she had dreamed of since she was sixteen.
And Rob. He was literally her knight in shining armor. Handsome, thoughtful. Educated. And from a family that made all her relatives nod and say thankfully, "Lib did well!"
She had been ripe and ready for the nuptial event. Her friends had chided her about remaining a virgin until she was twenty-two. Her grandparents were so proud of her for being "so strong." Oddly enough, her parents never mentioned it. It didn't surprise her that her Dad stayed away from it. But from her mother there was nothing over the years. No speeches. No support. No talks about the virtues of chastity. Nothing. She would have thought that of all people they would have been the ones gushing over her innocence. And maybe they were. Maybe they just didn't show it.
The worse part about holding off so long was having to endure the quiet talk, the sexual prattle from the other girls who spoke of how they had exploded time after time after being ravaged by a warm mouth, exploring hands, and most especially that hard shaft pounding them unmercifully for "hours at a time."
Mrs. Rob Lee couldn't wait! There had been teases before, times that she had dropped her shield a little and her body had responded frantically to gentle strokes from wandering fingertips. Now, the time was here.
She expected fireworks, explosions beyond even the stories the girls told.
What she got was birthday candles. Warm, happy, pleasant to the senses.
But even these flames were small, very difficult to detect and pleasantly extinguished each time before her party even got started.
Rob had bombed. Since the vows he had been the perfect husband. Caring, thoughtful, always "Libby first, Rob second." But through too much thoughtfulness, lack of touch, or something else Libby just didn't understand his nice hard cock was as exciting and fulfilling as the half empty cup of tea she was holding. And he had a wonderful cock! It was if he had a car with a nice engine but he kept his cruise control on 40.
Libby was crushed. She had no idea how to react to it.
"What do I do, Mom?" she finally said softly.
Roslyn soothed Lib's hands with her own. She wished she could drain the anguish from her daughter by doing so.
"Oh, it's so soon, Libby. Give it time."
"But why me, Mom? Why me? I did everything right."
"I know, I know, Sweetie. But you'll see. It can happen to anyone."
"But it didn't happen to you! Look at you and Dad."
Roslyn looked at her daughter with what Libby thought was anguished love. In fact it was pained thoughts.
Ros turned her head slightly. There were memories that, unlike Libby's thoughts, could not be shared.
Libby moved about a little then stood up to leave.
"Thanks for listening, Mom. You're always there for me."
Then she slipped out the door, leaving Roslyn sitting alone at the table.
She looked aimlessly out the window.
She felt so bad for her daughter. Her hand swept across her dry mouth for a second. Why had Libby waited? Why hadn't she tested the water before she got into the tub?
Why couldn't Libby have been more like Heather?
Heather was two years older than Libby but sisters couldn't possibly be more different then they. Heather had taken on the shorter body and darker hair color from her Mom whereas Libby was the light and lanky one.
But the difference was much, much more than that. While Libby held on to her virtues like a prized piece of jewelry Heather was promiscuous from the start, barely entering her teenage years before not just noticing the extreme difference between the sexes but openly flaunting it. A tease by thirteen, she was getting laid regularly long before she was eighteen.
Neither parent objected to her behavior, each for their own reasons. The very bottom line was that when Heather married Bill Richards at twenty-one she had sexually "been around the block" more than just a few times and knew exactly what she wanted. Heather had not only shopped around but had taken abundant samples over her young years.
And now that marriage was as hard and strong as Bill's cock. During their overnight visits nobody in the house could miss how sexually fulfilling that union was. She and Bill coupled with total abandon and that others were treated to the sounds was of no concern to either.
And that was exactly the reason Libby had never heard one word of encouragement from her Mother about protecting her virginity. Roslyn was absolutely against it but what could she say. How do you encourage an innocent daughter to become a free spirit and get laid!
And now? Roslyn could just hear herself passing on some "sound judgment" to her frustrated child bride.
"Jeez, Libby. I know you just got married but maybe you ought to go out there and try some different cock!" That wouldn't do.
She slowly shook her head. Actually, she knew full well the remedy.
The memories came back. Not slowly or in a blur but instead very vivid. Very distinct. Very real.
Roslyn remembered the exact date almost. It was the first Saturday in February 1982. For many years she remembered the exact day of month but now that had passed her by.
She glanced at the calendar and a rueful smile passed her lips. Next Saturday was the first weekend in February of the year 2007. It would be twenty-five years.
That long? Twenty-five years?
Roslyn continued to gaze at nothing. Her eyes became as wet as her mouth was dry.
So, Libby was frustrated. Her hunger for a ravaging cock was very obvious.
What Libby didn't know was that she was pouring out her frustrations to another woman who at the same moment was also of the same state of mind...being denied a rampaging cock that was so near yet so far away.
Was this an omen? Were Rob's inadequacies with Libby a gift to Roslyn from the sexual heavens? A way to resolve her own sensitive predicament?
Was this one of those little things, one of those rare times in life, when unforeseen circumstances actually resolve two problems at once, each in their own way?
Ros never moved. For two hours she let the old memories, the present circumstances, the future possibilities, flood her mind before slowly channeling in one direction.
She began nervously glancing at the phone as if there was something magical about it.
Slowly she picked up her purse, rummaging around in it as if looking for something she hoped she wouldn't find. She found it...a small, engraved card with nothing but a telephone number on it. She picked up the phone held it for some time, listening to the dial tone. Finally, she dialed that number for the first time. The voice answering the call was soft and expectant.
"Yeah?" Even the hesitant one word voiced anticipation.
"Now."
That's all she said before hanging up. She knew that, at the time, nothing else was needed. That would all come in the very near future.
She shook her head slowly.
Where did it come from? That stupid little saying?
"It's deja vu all over again."
ONCE UPON A TIME
February 1982.
It was their first summer together as husband and wife.
Roslyn and Glenn were meeting with friends at a large lodge in the Snowy Mountains. It was hot; especially in the little house they were renting in Sydney and it was a relief to get away for a weekend. Ros was a little apprehensive. This was Glenn's old crowd, not hers, and there was always a bit of discomfort when she was with them. Unlike her conservative circle, these guys were a bit rowdy.
This bunch never needed much of an excuse to party but for that particular weekend they chose to have a "belated" wedding party for the newly wed Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Faber. Roslyn could have done without the crowd but she knew Glenn was keen.
