(But first -- a health warning! If you're one of the appreciative, but limited number of, readers who have been following my 'Ambridge' series in the 'Celebrities' section -- read no further. You'll find the plot somewhat familiar. I just thought, with the amount of effort that goes into these stories, I'd try for a wider audience ......)
* * * * *
Helen's heart sank as the livery shop door swung open and her Uncle Alan strolled in, smiling confidently. He hadn't been around for several weeks, now, and she had dared to hope, maybe, that ......
But his opening words dashed her optimism.
"Hello, my darling niece," he leered. "And how are you today?"
Helen's flesh crept as she felt her uncle's eyes examine the substantial swell of her breasts under the thick sweater she was wearing -- but, paradoxically, she could feel a moistness forming between her thighs as she contemplated the inevitable outcome of Alan's visit.
How many years had it been since that first, awful, time when Alan Clark had coerced her into letting him have her? Five, or even six?
She and her husband, Hugh Turner, hadn't been married for long -- about eight months. They had met shortly after Hugh had been appointed head gamekeeper on her Uncle Alan's large country estate, and the attraction had been immediate, and mutual. At 33, Hugh had been much older than Helen -- 13 years older -- and he had been married before, with two daughters, who now lived abroad, with their mother.
At first, everything had gone very well, but the job on the estate had become more and more stressful, and, increasing the pressure on Hugh, his daughters had encountered many problems in their new school in France.
The strain had been telling for some time, then, one day, when there had been a really big shooting party on the estate, there had been some sort of accident -- Helen still didn't know the details -- and someone had been seriously injured. Hugh, who was responsible for safety on the shoot, had been missing for twenty minutes, taking, it turned out, a private telephone call. By the time he had been tracked down, Alan Clark had been livid with rage and there had been a huge row between the two men, ending only when Hugh told Alan he could stuff his job!
Hugh had explained all this, very briefly, to Helen when he arrived home, but he had only come to throw a few clothes in a suitcase before he set off for France, to attend to the emergency, concerning one of his daughters, which had been the subject of the phone call.
He had only been gone an hour or two when Helen heard the knock on the door. She had recognized her Uncle Alan, and her spirits had lifted. He must have come, she thought, to see if Helen could persuade Hugh to change his mind about resigning -- and Helen was sure she'd be able to do that, once Hugh was back, and she could sit him down and talk to him. So she had hurried to the door, and flung it wide open -- but the expression on Alan s face had told a different story.
Clearly, her uncle was in no mood to forgive and forget, and, no matter how hard Helen had pled with him to disregard what Hugh had said to him, and to give him a chance to withdraw his resignation when he returned from France, Alan remained grim-faced and adamant.
"Look, Helen," he insisted. "You didn't hear what he said to me. He wouldn't tell me what the 'emergency' was and then, eventually, he -- well, frankly, Helen, he insulted me, personally, in a way which will be very hard to forgive."
"Oh, Uncle Alan -- I'm so sorry. Please give him another chance," Helen pled. "His daughters mean so much to him, and Sonja is at such a very difficult age ...... It was something to do with her, and he just had to take that call."
Helen's voice trailed off, and her eyes filled with tears as she stared at her uncle's angry, stern face. Returning her stare, Alan s face gradually relaxed, and took on a more reflective, thoughtful expression. He leaned back in his armchair, and Helen felt a glimmer of hope.
"Would you like a cup of coffee, Uncle Alan?" she offered, and he smiled at her.
"Yes, thank you, Helen -- that would be nice."
Helen hurried through to the kitchen and put the kettle on. Somewhat to her surprise, she realised that Alan had followed her through. He leaned against the door frame.
"You know, Helen," he said "a lot of people wonder just what it is you see in Hugh Turner."
"I know," Helen smiled ruefully. "I see a side of his nature that he doesn't show to many people, I think."
"I wondered," Alan went on, in a measured, quiet tone of voice "if it was just that he has a big dick."
Helen, scarcely believing her ears, whirled round and looked at her uncle, incredulously. He had straightened up and was standing in the door opening, looking at her.
But, she realised, looking at her in a way she couldn't recall him ever doing before. His dark eyes were lazily taking in the contours of her body - her firm breasts in the angora sweater, and her strong thighs and bottom stretching the tight material of her blue jeans.
Helen's heart began to race, and her face flamed in embarrassment, and anger, but she couldn't think what to say.
"Well?" Alan grinned. "Is that it? Has he got a long thick one that really stretches you? I sneaked a look at it, once, when I was standing beside him in the loo at the Bull - and I was quite impressed by it."
Hating herself for losing her 'cool', Helen managed to stutter - "I - I think you'd better - better - leave, now, Uncle Alan. Get - get - out of my house!"
Alan laughed, mirthlessly. "Well - my house, actually," he said. "If Hugh leaves my employ, I'll need it for the new head keeper."
"Well, that hasn't happened yet," snapped Helen, "and, until it does, I want you to leave!"
The smile faded from her uncle's face, and his brow darkened.
"Oh, you do, do you?" he sneered. "Well, I don't think so. I think I'd like to stick around here for a while -- get to know my niece better -- a lot better!"
As realization began to dawn on her, and her temper started to rise, Helen opened her mouth to speak, but he held up a peremptory hand.
"It's not just the job, or the house, is it, Helen?" he said, quietly. "It's a question of whether or not Lord Stackswell takes any action about that 'accident' on the shoot. If he decides to sue, it would ruin your precious Hugh. There's no doubt that it was his fault, after all - and I can tell you that the only reason His Lordship hasn't been on to his lawyers is me. I've persuaded him, so far, not to take action, but all I have to do is withdraw my support - and it'll be curtains for your husband ......"
Helen stared at her uncle, a cold feeling of helplessness stealing over her. She couldn't think straight -- she had been worried enough about her husband, and now -- this! It was unthinkable -- she had never dreamed that her uncle would think of her in 'that' way, but there was no doubt what was in his mind.
Deep down, the extremely distressed girl knew that refusal would definitely cost Hugh his job, and their house -- and the probable effect on his mental state didn't bear thinking about. She wasn't even aware that her shoulders had slumped as she realised that she couldn't resist Alan Clark's demands -- but he was watching for the signs, and his testicles tightened as her body language confirmed he would have his way ......
He eased away from the door frame and walked towards her. Her eyes widened in fear and, instinctively, she began to move backwards. Her hips bumped against the sink, and she stopped. As he approached, Helen raised her hands, in a futile gesture of resistance.
Clark stopped, in front of her. Brushing Helen's hands aside, he reached up and took hold of her breasts. Helen's heart was as cold as ice as she felt his hands close round them, and squeeze. All her instincts told her to push him away, or wriggle free, but, if she did ...... Hugh was very fragile, right now, and the consequences, if he were sued over the shoot accident, were almost incalculable.
Helen involuntarily closed her eyes as she felt her breasts being explored and fondled. With massive self-control, she made her hands grasp the edge of the sink. Opening her eyes, she dropped them to watch Clark's hands on her sweater. She saw his tongue slowly dampen his lips. He squeezed her breasts, firmly, and she gasped, a little.
"Very nice," he breathed. "Very nice tits. I knew they would be."
Expertly, he located her nipples through the sweater, and her bra, and rolled them between his thumbs and forefingers. Helen felt a little quiver of excitement as her nipples reacted to the pressure of his fingers. Somewhat irrelevantly, the sudden thought came into her mind that he was probably quite good at arousing a woman's body -- he had had enough practice, if all the stories were true ......
But, suddenly, she -- no! - she couldn't just let him ...... She grabbed the backs of his hands, trying to pull them away.
"No! No!" she gasped. "You mustn't - please, Uncle Alan. Please! No!"
It was then that she realised he had moved in on her completely - and that his lower body was pressing hard against hers - and, she could feel the hard solid length of his erection against her belly ......
Clark hadn't been so far off the mark when he had suggested that it was the size of Hugh's penis which attracted her. Helen had always been a keen student of the male appendage, and had lost no opportunity, when growing up, to snatch a look at her father's -- and her brother's.
She had even watched, unobserved, several times, when her parents had spent the occasional Saturday afternoon in bed, and had listened, fascinated and highly aroused, to the fantasies they wove around their lovemaking. She had not had a very good view, but she had seen her father's erection two or three times, and had been dry-mouthed with excitement at the thought of taking something like that between her legs
