Geoff had set out the wine and the glasses on the coffee table and gone back into the kitchen to make the coffee. The lounge was set out with 3 seat and a 2 seat sofas. Claire took over from me and guided Mum to the 3 seat one while I sat on the 2 seat one opposite. Claire hugged her and they were whispering, but I couldn't hear what was being said. When Geoff returned he had a tumbler, full of a clear liquid which he put down in front of me. Claire gave Mum another hug and got up and sat down next to me so that Geoff could sit beside Marie. I tasted the drink in the tumbler, which was quite full; it was a very large Vodka with Lime and lemonade (which was my drink of choice when I could afford it). He had been very generous indeed with the Vodka, it was quite a bit stronger than usual.
We talked for a while and everyone had another glass of wine. Claire took Marie into the kitchen for a few minutes. Geoff looked at me with an apprehensive look on his face.
I glanced at the kitchen to make sure we were alone, then I said "No worries mate, She is happy with how the evening has gone, but remember what I said. Don't mess her around."
He grinned "My word on it, I will never do anything to hurt her if I can avoid it" he said.
When the ladies came back, everything was all smiles and the separation into couples just seemed the natural way for us to be. Geoff told a slightly risquΓ© joke, which made us all laugh. Marie slapped his leg for telling it, but instead of taking her hand away, she just left it there. Geoff immediately put his arm around her and she cuddled up to him, gently stroking his thigh. I looked at Claire who just smiled and leaned forward so that I could put my arm around her and she leaned into me, kissed me and then rested her head on my shoulder too. Geoff slowly bent his arm which was over Marie's shoulders so that he drew her closer to him. Her eyes were closed but she didn't stop him as his hand dropped down to cup her breast. He looked at me and raised one eyebrows in an unspoken question.
I realised that he was asking my permission to continue. What else could I do? Mum was obviously not objecting to his touch. I looked at Claire but the smile on her face told me nothing. She too was waiting to see my reaction.
I looked back to Geoff and nodded.
Geoff smiled, undid the top two buttons on Mum's blouse and slipped his hand inside. He pushed her bra strap off her shoulder, easing her bra cup down and taking her bare breast into his hand.
Claire put her mouth to my ear and whispered, "Good boy, but this really is deep into 'Vegas territory' now. Just remember, nobody is being forced to do anything they don't want to do."
Mum opened her eyes and looked at me, then she drew Geoff into a long passionate kiss. When the kiss ended, she reached behind her back and unfastened her bra, before putting her head back on his chest.
Geoff undid three more buttons and pushed her blouse open. Taking his hand from her breast, which exposed it to us (O.M.G, my mum does have a beautiful pair of breasts) he leaned down and began to kiss them, taking first one nipple into his mouth then moving to the other one. His hand now moved onto her knee and began to move up her inner thigh, pushing her skirt higher as it went. She made no attempt to stop him, even opening her legs to allow him access; even though I knew she had no panties on.
As her skirt once again revealed her stocking tops and suspenders, I caught a glimpse of her pussy and Claire spoke for the first time. "I think you should show Marie what a nice view there is from the guest room window Geoff" she said. I think she just wanted to save mum's blushes in the morning.
Geoff looked across at us and nodded. He sat back and Marie stood up, shook her skirt down again, and then, holding her hand out to Geoff she drew him to his feet. She made no attempt to close her blouse leaving her breasts exposed as she picked up her glass of wine and took another drink. She looked at me and said, "Then I'll say Goodnight. Don't stay up too late you two and we'll see you both in the morning." She refilled her wine glass and led Geoff out of the room and up the stairs.
Claire could see that although I knew that Geoff and Marie had made love in the car at 'Shepherds View' I was still quite shocked by how far mum had been prepared to let Geoff go, right in front of me. Her 'We'll see you both in the morning' made it plain that she wanted more and had every intention of spending tonight in bed with him and she fully expected me to sleep with Claire tonight.
Claire put her arms around me and I just held her while my mind processed what had just happened. I was actually shaking a little. She kissed me and stroked my hair until I relaxed. Then she began to speak.
"Marie has known for a long time that Geoff had 'a thing' about her" she said. "We have both known Geoff has been harbouring what he thought was a 'secret' desire for her for over two years. What he didn't know was, if at any time in the last year or so, whenever your father was away if he had asked he would have been made very welcome indeed in Marie's bed. She actually asked me six months ago what she could do to get him to make a move. I told her that I didn't think he would, not unless he knew you wouldn't mind him being with her. She has been dropping hints to you to 'give him a push' ever since then, but you seemed to miss them all. The idea for this foursome as a way of breaking the ice, was a bit 'last minute' and I must admit I didn't expect it to be quite such a spectacular success as it has been. I actually thought Geoff might back out of tonight."
I grinned at her. "He almost did" I said, "Last night as we walked home he said he was having second thoughts about tonight, but he couldn't think of a way to cancel without hurting both you and mu . . . . Sorry, Marie's feelings. We sat on that park bench over the road to talk and he told me how much he liked my mum. I had to use similar arguments to the ones you used up at 'Shepherds View' to get him not to back out."
"I see" she said, "What did you say to him?"
"Things like 'You were the ones who had asked us to take you out and having said yes we couldn't back out now'. He asked if I thought mum would dance with him and I said, 'Why wouldn't she? As he was her date for a dinner dance, there was no way she would refuse to dance with him.' He then said quite a few things which made me realise just how much he really liked mum, so I asked him if the evening took an unexpected turn and we 'paired off', who would he choose to be with? I think you know what he answered to that, so I said 'She is an adult and she is quite capable of making up her own mind about what she wants to do and who with, so unless he intended to drag her into the bushes to forcibly have his wicked way with her, what was the problem?'. I did have to admit to him though; that my feelings for you were at least as strong as his were for Marie."
That little smile touched the corners of Claire's mouth again. "May I ask how you managed to convince him of that?"
"I asked him what he would give me if I could arrange a real date for him with my mum. Obviously it was a hypothetical question which had no answer. Then I told him that whatever he would give me, I would give him at least double if he could arrange a date for me with you."
"My goodness" Claire chuckled, "As much as that? Because I think he would have given almost anything for the chance be with Marie as he has been tonight, so what would you have given him?"
I looked down at my feet, suddenly feeling very embarrassed. "Everything I own" I whispered, "Just to be allowed to put my arms around you and dance with you, never mind what happened up at 'Shepherds View'."
For the first time Claire looked at me as if she didn't believe what she was hearing. For what seemed like a lifetime but was probably only a minute she said nothing, then she said, "You feel like that about me and for ages I have been teasing you and winding you up? Oh Mark I am so sorry. I knew you adored me, at first I did it to try to cool your obvious feelings for me, but I suppose I rather took your love for granted and after a while it just became a habit. The more I teased, the more you seemed to like me. I liked the feeling that you cared that much for me and when you looked at me like you did it made me feel loved and wanted. I never meant to hurt you."
I smiled at her, "You didn't hurt me" I said, "I wanted you to notice me and when you were teasing me, I knew I was foremost in your thoughts and I wanted that so much. Geoff told me last night that he had feelings for my mum, but whatever feelings he had for her I knew were nothing compared to what I feel for you."
"I think you need to accept he does have real feelings for Marie" she said, "I know that she has feelings for him too."
"If you hadn't spoken just now , how far do you think she would have let Geoff go?"
"About as far as she let him go at 'Shepherds View'. They watched us make love on that bench and she didn't deny it when you countered with a comment about the car rocking on its springs. Leaving her panties on the floor of the car just confirmed that Geoff had fucked her in the car at Shepherds View and anyway, she was quite vocal when he fingered her to another orgasm on the way back here. What was the point of trying to pretend it hadn't happened?"
