Tuesday, November 3, 1992 Palm Springs and Cathedral City, CA
At 8 a.m. Dr. William Carter grinned at this lathered reflection in the hotel bathroom mirror. He casually swished his Gillette safety razor in the warm slurry in the basin, then resumed gliding the double edges over his stubble. The process, so effortless and habituated after 50-odd years, left him free to think back and remember yesterday afternoon.
*
On the drive back to La Familia from the cemetery, Mari mentioned the restaurant would be closed, as usual, Tuesday and there would be a small, family, fiesta at the Guerrero home in Cathedral City. Mari would tell her husband, Eduardo, tonight about her discovered father before luring him, for the first time in 10 years, into drunken sex-play, to cover her hoped for pregnancy by Carter. Carter asked could he give the news to Luz early and Mari had agreed. They sealed their new father-daughter-lover pact with a light kiss in the Taurus behind the the cantina and then parted. Carter enjoyed a final flash of Mari's cleavage as she had turned, poked her shoulders back in the car and said, "Hasta manana, Papa!"
Carter returned to the hotel, showered, changed into fresh slacks and a non-cum-stained polo shirt, then drove back to Palm Springs to properly introduce himself to his newfound granddaughter. He had not sat long in the car when he saw Luz moving along the sidewalk toward her apartment. She held two paper grocery sacks against her chest and her purse bounced on her right hip with each step.
Carter hustled across the pink gravel and intercepted Luz a few steps from the door to #6. "Luz!" he said, with a rush, reaching out his arms, "Let me help you with those!" Not accepting a refusal, Carter pulled the sacks to himself as her hands naturally gave way.
"Senor Bill!" Luz cried in surprise. "Que pasa? Por que...?" she stared, her open face displaying her wonder at Carter's sudden appearance.
"Luz," Carter began, calmly with a broad smile, "I thought your mom told you she had asked me to take her to the cemetery today?"
"Si... pero... "
"Well, when we were there, we learned something... "
"I just came from there, myself," Luz continued, overriding Carter's words, "I didn't see you."
"We must have just missed you, then," Carter concluded. "Open up and invite me in. We have important things to discuss." Carter's voice, though temperate, was commanding and Luz felt oddly compelled to obey.
Carter's eyes drank in Luz as, still flustered, she rummaged in her purse and fumbled her keys in the doorlock. She was dressed in regular street clothes. Her tight, shrunken Levi's clung to her legs, disappearing into soft, tall, tan high-heeled cowboy boots. As she bent over the lock, her snap-front, green plaid western-styled shirt billowed at her chest, giving a glimpse of her swelling breast tops in a lace-trimmed red bra.
Composing herself as she turned the key, Luz turned her face to Carter, smiled warmly and said, "Of course, Senor Bill, please come inside."
"Again?" thought Carter, smirking internally, "Where else?" Out loud, he said, "Thanks, Luz." Stepping over the threshold into her, now familiar, studio apartment, he added, "I'll set the groceries here on the counter. Anything in here for the refrigerator or freezer?" he asked, keeping his excitement in check.
"No," Luz replied, closing the door and bending at the waist to the floor. As she scratched Pablo, her purring grey cat, rolling at her feet, Luz looked at Carter under her outstretched arm. "It's just tortillas, cat food and some supplies. They can wait there for me to put away later."
Carter inhaled sharply as he viewed Luz' round denim-wrapped ass and the taut muscles on the backs of her thighs. "Easy does it, William," he cautioned himself, "Think how you want this to be." Stepping out of the kitchenette into the main room, Carter moved toward Luz. "Ola Pablo, como esta?" he asked easily as he stooped beside the girl and ran his left hand over the cat's furry side.
Luz grinned widely. "I remember now how much you liked my pussy," she said softly, "It was a sign for me." She straightened up and Carter found his chin inches away from the camel-toe in the crotch of Luz' Levi's.
Standing erect himself, Carter put his hands on Luz' shoulder points, looked straight into her dark liquid eyes and said, "And for me, too, Luz." He lightly rubbed her upper arms and continued, "Your mother showed me something today which will change our worlds..."
"Que?" Luz became concerned by the sudden serious look in the old gentleman's face.
"... Your mom is... " Carter hesitated, inhaling Luz' sandlewood perfume in a single deep breath, "my... unknown daughter." He exhaled slowly on the last syllable.
It was well Carter had a grip on Luz. She sagged at her knees with the surprising news. Quickly recovering, she stiffened, pushed back and held Carter at arm's length, her hands on his waist. "Then... then... Mi Dio!" she exclaimed, "Tu es... mi abuelo; soy tu nieta!" Closing ranks, Luz hugged Carter tight to her bosom, laid her cheek against his and breathed, "Oh! This explains so much the strnage, strong feelings I have had for you ever since you gave me my lesson in self-confidance!"
Carter felt her wet tears on his face and folded Luz into him, squeezing her back. "And I, for you, Luz," he murmured, gently patting her bottom and rubbing her shoulder blades.
"Sometimes, I... I think I have... dreamed of you," Luz continued, sobbing slightly. "I have wakened and felt,... hot... and anxious... and... restless. Oh, Bill! Oh Abuelo! Hold me tight, por favor!" she cried into his neck.
"As tight as you like, as long as you want, honey" Carter cooed, flexing his strong right hand and seizing Luz's right ass cheek as he stroked her spine from neck to waist and back with his left hand. Luz sighed, gave a small shudder and melted against her new grandfather. Her hands roved over his back, slowly caressing him in great swaths.
Carter noticed Luz' body language and breathing as it morphed and decided to hedge his bets. "Presto," he whispered into her ear, feeling her collapse against him in her programmable trance state. "Luz," he asked, "Do you hear me? Who am I?"
"Yes," she replied flatly, "I hear you, Maestro."
"Good," Carter said, still embracing his thrall. "You have just met your grandfather, tu abuelo, and you are very happy to have found him. You love him very much and he loves you, too. You have a special bond with him. You want always to please your grandfather. Do you understand this?"
"Yes, Master," Luz answered, dully.
"Good," continued Carter, "When your secret box is closed and on my shelf, you still will remember how you want to love and please your grandfather at all times." As Carter spoke his hands found the clasp on Luz' brastrap, beneath her shirt fabric, and released it. "When your secret box is open - when I have said the key word - you will be my lover, my lovely Luz, and you will not know me to be anyone but just 'Bill', your master, whom you love forever and always. Do you understand this?" he asked, as he pulled Luz'shirt from the waist of her jeans.
"Yes, Master Bill," Luz answered. "I understand."
"Perfecto," Carter said soto voce, then, more distinctly, he used Luz' key,"Rosary" and pushed his alert, but rapt, subject away, smiling into her open, dark eyes. "How have you been, honey?" he asked, with a chuckle. "Have you missed me mucho?"
"Oh! Bill!" Luz cried out, clasping her arms around his neck and peppering him with quick kisses. "Oh, Si! I have missed you muchisimo!"
