Lewis Carter's heart raced as he stood outside his parents' house wondering where he was really going to be taken, and what he'd have to when he got there. As far as they knew, one of his mother's friends was going to pick him up so that he could help move some furniture in the local church prior to a wedding, but he didn't believe that had been the real reason for Claire Harrison's call ten minutes earlier.
"Hello lover", grinned Claire through the open car window when she pulled up next to him, "Have you missed me?" Lewis Carter didn't reply. He'd spent two weeks hoping that the last time they'd met had been a one-off and she'd changed her mind about using him as her pleasure toy.
He walked round the front of the black BMW, opened the passenger door, got in, and glanced at the fifty-three-year-old woman practically salivating next to him. She was without any make-up, wearing a pair of large thick framed glasses, a plain brown casual jacket over a white blouse, matching knee-length pleated skirt, calf-high tan-coloured boots with zips up the side, and had fading mousey brown hair which hung loosely to her shoulders. To all intents and purposes Claire Harrison couldn't have looked more like most people's idea of a respectable, church-going middle-aged woman about to attend some sort of Sunday service, but Lewis Carter was under no such illusion. He was very well aware that it was an act which had been put on the benefit of his watching mother.
It took less than five minutes to drive to the Baptist church, which Claire spent telling Lewis how she'd spent two weeks thinking about him and little else except trying to come up with a way for them to have an hour or so together without anyone suspecting that they were now in a "relationship". She parked the car, told Lewis to follow, unlocked a door at the rear of the building, gestured for him to join her inside, and locked it behind them.
"There isn't really any furniture which needs moving," she sniggered, "But there really is a wedding in an hour, so we don't have long."
