You can call me Sweet Charlotte; it's a name I have great affection for because it was the nick-name the Colonel gave me. For two glorious weeks in my life ten years ago this mature, worldly man taught me that sex and its many acts can be a delicious experience even for a novice such as myself.
At 18 years of age I wasn't the most experienced girl in the world; in fact you could call me very naΓ―ve. My parents were very protective of me, I was their only child, their pride and joy and so I was constantly wrapped in cotton wool.
I had very little knowledge about sex in any shape or form and as I went to a strict all girl Catholic school what I did learn was based on what my friends knew and they were as lacking in sexual education as much as I was!
My parents thought it was good to keep me in happy ignorance; you can't blame them really but at some point I had to grow up and it was during that hot September in Cornwall I started my journey toward womanhood.
And all because I happened to make friends with a retired Army Colonel from the Queen's own Dragoons...
My parents and I went to stay in a hotel on a cliff top. A wonderful building that had seen its hey day in the 1930s but still had that old world charm about it. It even had its own maze with a summer house placed nicely in the centre of it.
It was the end of the summer so there were only a few guests in the hotel, in fact my family and the Colonel were the only guests there for those two wonderful weeks in September, other than the staff that is.
Colonel Harry Chapman was 55 years old, tall, handsome, physically fit with salt and pepper hair combined back neatly, slightly tanned skin from his years traversing the globe, and a pair of shrewd intelligent green eyes.
My parents liked him at once. He was a gentleman, well spoken, and well educated. They trusted him instantly and had no problems with me being in his company when I wasn't with them.
I liked the Colonel too, he was quiet, was willing to listen to my chatter and he treated me like a lady, not a little girl like my parents did.
As said before he took to calling me Sweet Charlotte and would open doors for me, pull out my chair at the dinner table and offer me his arm whenever we went out for walks in the Hotel's vast cliff top gardens.
So when he invited me for a picnic in the maze's summer house, I said yes without a qualm.
My parents were more than agreeable, my mother wanted to go to Penzance for the day where as I was not keen. This solved them worrying about me; after all I would be more than safe in the Colonel's care, wouldn't I?
So they drove off to Penzance and I went with the Colonel into the Maze and the delightful little summer house at its centre with its wicker chairs, soft rugs and flowery cushions for guests comfort.
The Colonel laid out the picnic whilst I gathered the cushions for us to sit on. He was watching me gravely as I set them out on the floor and we settled down to enjoy our meal of egg and cress sandwiches and freshly made lemonade.
I remember to this day what I wearing; it was a pale blue and white sleeveless frock, too young for me really, as were the white ankle bobby socks and black patent leather Mary Jane shoes on my feet, but like I said my parents wanted to keep me a child for as long as they could.
All the same I looked very pretty, with my long red gold hair falling over my shoulders, clipped back with two jewelled hair slides, my skin rosy from the sea air, my blue eyes wide and innocent.
I had even dabbed some of my mother's favourite perfume on my wrists and throat, with her permission of course!
Before that I had never really noticed that I had attributes men will admire, but looking back I realise now that I was a blossoming peach that desperately needed plucking.
My breasts were firm and high, my hips rounded and shapely, my legs long and supple. My bud like mouth was as virginal as I was, but unbeknown to me, today was the day I got to have my eyes well and truly opened in the most delicious and wicked ways possible.
How the Colonel and I got to talking about physical sensations we liked I don't know, but that is how it all started.
I think the Colonel said something about the human body liking to be touched and I think I agreed with him adding that I liked to have my shoulders and back rubbed.
I did too. My mother did it regularly for me of late because I was busy studying all the time, I was about to take my final exams that would get me into the University of my choice so I was forever hunched over a pile of books in my bedroom or in the family lounge.
"That is a nice sensation," the Colonel agreed, "I like having my back massaged too, it's very relaxing."
I smiled and then was startled when he leaned over, positioning himself behind me then he put his hands on my shoulders and began to massage them.
I was a bit embarrassed at first; I mean I didn't expect him to do that did I? But it felt very nice, very nice indeed, what was odd was that it felt; well, very different from the way my mother did it!
The Colonel had large hands but they weren't rough and his fingers were long and slender.
"Do you like it? "he asked me softly his mouth near to my ear, his breath hot on my flesh.
"It's really nice..." I murmured closing my eyes and slowly letting myself relax
He rubbed my shoulders steadily, moving down my arms, squeezing them in delightful pinches of pleasure and then his voice was murmuring into my ear.
"It would feel nicer if you undo your dress; here let me do it for you."
Before I could protest I heard the zipper at the back of my dress being pulled down and suddenly the top part of my frock was sliding gently down my arms.
My pink lacy bra was on display and I was momentarily embarrassed and then I gasped, because the Colonel suddenly cupped my bra covered breasts began to massage them too!
I was startled, so startled in fact that I didn't protest and then the strangest of sensations began to ripple through me, delicious sensations, like having hundreds of butterfly wings brushing over my flesh at the same time.
I looked down at that instant and saw the Colonel's hands, covering and holding my breasts and another new feeling ran through me,
I felt a hot cloying movement between my legs like I was leaking something moist and hot from deep inside me.
"Undo your bra," the Colonel said in his soft but commanding voice and I found myself obeying him, even though he could have unfastened it from where he was sitting. He helped me remove it and he tossed it to one side.
I was feeling breathless and hot, I knew deep down that what the Colonel was doing wasn't what he should be doing, but it was so deliciously nice I couldn't bring myself to ask him to stop.
His hands slid under my arms and I watched mesmerised as his hands cupped my now bare breasts yet again; only this time the sensation was like honey on a spoon, tight and sweet and I found myself pushing my breasts into his hands, and he in turn grasped the two virginal buds of puckered flesh and twisted them between his forefinger and thumb, ever so gently but enough to make me cry out in pleasurable surprise.
