When, Sally, who had worked for my employers ever since she had left school but, having been redeployed, was to me, the new receptionist, I really took notice. She was an extraordinarily pretty, slim lass, with long blond locks, sparkly blue eyes, a pert nose with a cutely bulbous tip, slightly younger than I and, unfortunately, possessed of an engagement ring that she displayed with, considerable, pride. Her virtues were many but she could be very argumentative, particularly about literature, and she appeared to have read, and remembered, every work of fiction that had been ever been written in the English language. One afternoon she and I became embroiled in an increasingly heated debate about J.G. Ballard, I'm a fan but, apparently, she had read every single one of his novels too.
"Bet you!" she snapped.
"What you bet?" I snarled, consumed with aggrieved self-righteousness.
She paused to think, for a considerable time, then broke into an evil. "I've spotted you ogling me when you thought that I was not looking. Well now's your chance; if you're right I'll be your slave girl for one night, we leave work, go to your place and we do whatever you want to, until we have to return to work the next morning. But if you're wrong, I introduce you to my Aunt Kate and you have to be her slave boy for the night, right up until I collect you on my way to work, on the following morning."
"Deal." I snapped triumphantly, undressing her mentally. Despite my knowing that I was right she proved me wrong. Auntie's slave for the night, entirely due to my own conceit; there was, I concluded, only one way to withdraw from such a stupid bet with a shred dignity, tough it out and pray that the other party was forced to back-down.
Sally promised me a big soppy consolation kiss if I could specifically manage next Thursday and if, in addition, I would undertake one tiny, but unspecified, favour. As long as it was not too silly I would have anyway but, for me, her promise of a kiss was a definite bonus.
Thursday morning, the butterflies in my tummy gradually evolved into elephants; during the afternoon the elephants began to clump around in ever larger sizes of hobnail boot. My hands shook, my ability to concentrate was destroyed, utterly, I knocked over piles of paper, I fumbled files, their content tumbling everywhere, I still cannot find a spot where I did not splash coffee. Sally would relate nothing about her Aunty Kate, except that when her husband had died the family made sly winks, conjoined with knowing nods and alluded that she had worn him out.
By the time we were walking up the garden path, to a large detached house that was set well back from the road, I was shaking quite visibly; I was terrified. At the front door Sally said, "now you earn your kiss, hold still," and she wrapped a long red ribbon around my neck and tied it in a big bow. She placed a hand on each of my cheeks, glued her lips to mine and, by the time we broke contact, I was sporting a very stiff todger. Sally rang the bell and a slim lady of about fifty answered. "Happy Birthday Auntie Kate, this is Harry. He's your present, he lost a bet and now he has to do whatever you care to ask, until I come and collect him at about seven thirty tomorrow morning. Don't you Harry?"
"Yes Sally," I replied, my manhood wilted. It was not that the woman was ugly or anything, in fact she was quite attractive, in her Mumish way: it was the humiliating way that she was eyeing me up and down, like a dog scrutinising a tasty bone, a bone with lots of meat still left on it. If she had had a tail it would have been wagging.
"So Harry you have to do whatever I ask you to, absolutely anything in its entirety?"
"That's the deal Auntie Kate," I replied. Kate was, I presumed, in her late forties or early fifties, over twice my age at any rate. She was slimish, she had short black hair and brown eyes, not in the least like Sally. Her skin had lost its sheen, her brow had gained a few lines but it was her chin and neck that really gave her age away, that and her grainy hands and wrinkled elbows. She was wearing a black top with a lacy back and denim cut-offs held up by a broad belt. Her legs were still slender and muscular, her thighs firm and lightly tanned. Elderly, yes, but not without attraction.
"What could you have won?"
I blushed, but it was Sally who responded, promptly, to the blunt question "me, I'd be in his flat right now, in his shoes. Except I probably wouldn't because I expect I'd already be stark naked by now."
"Ooh, that kind of anything," her aunt replied with evident relish, "well thank you for such a lovely present Sally and me thinking I would have to spend a boring birthday evening in on my own. I won't invite you in as I suddenly have a lot of things that need attending to, many of them rather urgently."
Sally drifted down the path as I entered the house. "Sally quite likes you Harry, she has told me all about you. If she were to split with that boyfriend of hers you'd have a really good chance there. She is a bit quarrelsome, especially about books, but otherwise she's as nice as she looks and so generous. It was only a few weeks ago that I was telling her how hard it is to find a man who is kind and sensitive, yet has a bit of lead in his pencil."
At that point she actually nudged me, giving me a lewd wink as she did so; "and here you are, all wrapped up in a bow, just for little old me," she actually cackled. The pit of my stomach dropped, I was so nervous and she was piling on the embarrassment. "Do you know, when my Albert was alive we made love nearly every single day of our marriage, yes we hardly missed a day. There's not a flat surface in this house that has not had my naked bottom resting on it whilst Albert humped us both to happiness. They recon that I wore him out, and me'bbe I did," unexpectedly she chuckled at that, an oddly deep and ominous noise that set a tiny shiver of dread anticipation coursing down my spine.
"Sally's a naughty girl too," Aunt Kate had entered a little world of her own, her face lit up and the hint of a smile of things recalled played across her lips. "Do you know, the very first day that she came to work in your office, whilst you were out at lunch, she found four, big, fat, well thumbed files and placed them in the bottom drawer of your filing cabinet and the next day she started wearing stockings and suspenders. She thinks you like her black lacy panties the best but she knows that you also enjoy peeking at the ones with red, blue and green spots on; on your birthday she's is going to. Oops, I mustn't spoil her little surprise." Kate covered her mouth with an embarrassed hand. "Anyway take off your shoes and come into my parlour, said the spider to the fly."
Kate went and made tea, and after she returned with the tray, played 'mother' and then sat opposite me on a low chair. I could see the lacy trim of her black panties peeking from under those exceedingly short shorts, I attempted, not very successfully, not to stare. If only I'd known it; she had been wearing a thong when we arrived and had changed into those lacy black panties especially for me, whilst the tea was brewing. Even tugging the lacy bit down so that I could not fail to catch a glimpse of them. "Yes my Albert was a very virile man and I cannot seem to replace him. You know men are either married, and I won't have that, pinchin' someone else's, it's not right; for example I know that you don't have a steady girlfriend at the moment, Sally keeps herself well informed you know. Or they have limp dicks or they last five seconds and then fall asleep. And then they snore. But you're all mine, at least for tonight." That predatory look was back, if embarrassment were taught in universities, she'd have been the professor, head of the department and I knew that she knew exactly what she was doing.
I've some photo's of me and Albert here somewhere, I'll show you. Kate went over to the book case started to extract a white wedding album and then paused for reflection. She pushed it back, adopted that evil grin of hers and then, instead, pulled an old and battered brown leather folder, the oldest of about a dozen, that sat next to the wedding album. She came across and sat on the wide arm of my low chair, enveloping us both in cloud of musky perfume that screamed, 'I want sex' and opened her album of photographs. The crisp black and white image showed a woman wearing a wedding dress and a hansom man, in his soldiers uniform, standing slightly behind her and holding her voluminous dress up, not only to reveal her frilly garter, her stocking tops and her suspenders but exhibiting, for all to see, her cleanly shaven pussy, the slit barely visible. I started, it was Kate, but a very young and even more beautiful Kate. I blushed, my penis went ridged and began a fight with my underpants, my armpits went damp, I blustered.
"I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable," Kate husked, "that's my Albert," she declared proudly, "he was handsome, and brave, and strong."
"And you were stunning," I blurted out, almost involuntarily.
She turned the page. I blushed again. She was sat on a high stool, the man, 'her Albert', was kneeling before her, head between her parted thighs, clearly licking her pussy. "Only man I ever knew who took his photo-floods on honeymoon," she was clearly teasing me to alarming effect. The third picture caused me to cough and splutter. Albert was sat upon the stool now, his bride, her back to the camera, had lost her dress and was impaling herself on his huge and very stiff member. "That was the first time we made love after we were married," spoken in the voice of someone far far away, somebody lost deep in memory; clearly she had adored Albert, doted upon the chap. "Don't worry, I don't suppose you'll be as big, but that doesn't matter," and she began to hum 'its not what you do its the way that you do it,' to herself. Well that wilted my plant but the forth picture restored its state of attention, completely; Albert was shafting Kate doggy style in a photograph taken sideways on. "If I decide that you've been a good boy, and you ring all the right bells, as your treat you can do that to me at the end."
Suddenly she wasn't an old lady anymore, and I desperately needed to be a good boy. That was the moment, the defining instant, when I realised that Kate was still a very attractive and incredibly sexy woman, who was offering herself to me, on a platter, all I had to do was please her and she would most certainly be willing to please me; at that juncture who was the slave of whom became a very moot point. Oh I was still shy, very embarrassed, overpowered, intimidated even; but now all my fears about maintaining an erection, faking an interest, needing to drop false compliments, evaporated like dew in strong sunshine. I was consumed with lust, burning with desire and if I had had to confess the truth, somewhat jealous of Albert. She had seduced me.
