Part 8
I think Iris slept a little too. It was only for a few minutes. Candy woke us up. "Iris, we need to go. We don't want Mom coming back to find us all in here. Anyway, we need to get ready for the party." While they collected their clothes, Candy explained to me, "Some girls from the team invited Iris to a party tonight. I think it's going to be a lot of jocks. Should be good hunting. We're DTF tonight."
I said, "don't forget your condoms."
She nodded at me, then said, "Listen, when Mom comes back, will you make her some dinner and entertain her? Actually, if you can get her to fuck... yeah! She probably hasn't been laid in a decade. Don't you think, Iris? Mom needs an orgasm."
Iris giggled, then grew thoughtful. "You're right, Candy." She turned to me, "If you can give Mom what you gave me, it'd do her a world of good."
Ronnie came back and the sisters left and I offered to make Ronnie dinner and she accepted.
Later we sat down together with plates of little strip steaks, roasted new potatoes, and sautΓ©ed broccoli. I opened a bottle of a nice pinot noir and poured us each a glass.
"This is really nice," she said.
"Thanks. It's nothing special," I replied.
"But it's nice. It's all nice. The food is good, your things, the plates, this apartment, they're all nice. Staying here these last couple days has been like taking a vacation. And what you've done for Candace! Well, I can't thank you enough."
"It's really been a pleasure for me to have you and Iris visit. I'm glad you like the place, and I'm glad you feel relaxed here. But you don't seem really relaxed, Ronnie"
"What do you mean?"
"It seems like you never relax, like you're tense all the time."
"Well," she said, "I've been really worried about Iris for a long time. College is going to be such a big step for her. To be honest, I also worry about what I'm going to do when she's out of the house. Do you know I've been raising these girls since I was little more than a girl myself?"
She told me how Candy's father had gotten her pregnant when she was a senior in high school, then ran off. She'd raised Candy alone for three years, then got involved with Iris' father. The two of them had married, and he'd been good for both the girls for a while. Eventually he had gone too. They'd split up. At least he'd stayed around, provided some financial support, and been present for the girls as they'd grown.
We finished dinner. I cleaned up and refilled our wine glasses. We moved from the table into the living room to sit on the sectional.
She asked if I had kids. No. Married? Divorced.
I told her how an inheritance had allowed me to switch from working full time to freelancing and part time.
"Freelancing at what?" She rubbed at the back of her neck with one hand, sipped at her wine. Her mouth was stained a little red with the wine. I could recognize a resemblance to Iris: the same wide mouth, the same nose.
"Different things. I took a course in massage therapy, so I do that sometimes."
"That sounds fun." She rolled her head from side to side, then sipped at her wine again. Then she said, "Getting a massage sounds like fun, too."
"I could give you one."
"Oh! No, I didn't mean... I wasn't asking for that."
"I know. I'm offering it. You look like you could use one"
It took awhile, and the rest of the bottle of wine while we talked about other things, but I convinced her to have a massage.
She went to the big bedroom to take off her clothes and put on a robe, and I went into the small one to prepare the massage table area.
I put some relaxing ambient music on, made the bed. Remembering what her daughters and I had been doing on it a few hours earlier, I carefully scanned the room to make sure no sex toys were visible.
With a standard massage you do things one way, when you're working toward the "happy ending" it's a little different. I started with Ronnie face-down, and I worked on her arms and hands. Of course, the big tension reliever is the back and shoulders, so before I did that, I moved to her feet and legs. By the time I was kneading the back of her thigh, she was settling in to it, but as I moved my hands higher, nearing her glutes, I could feel some tension return.
