I want to thank MJ and JJ from The Fenlands for inspiring this story.
Part 1
Jenny was bored and just a little nervous.
It was weeks since her last modeling job and she was starting to run low on ready cash. With the nationwide shut down, she wasn't likely to get another assignment anytime soon. So she was stuck, trapped more like it, in the small apartment she now shared with her friend Clare.
Oh yes, sweet Clare...
They met on a modeling shoot, one that involved enough nudity and choreographed simulated sex to cause something to stir deeply within her even though she considered herself to be completely straight. Over a drink at the end of the day, Jenny reluctantly confessed she was at her wit's end, hard pressed to keep her own place and have enough money left to eat until the next shoot, if and when there even was a next.
Clare listened sympathetically. In addition to the modeling on her off days, she worked all the hours she could at a cafe style restaurant just to get by herself. Yet she generously offered Jenny the use of the extra bedroom in her own modest apartment at no cost and would brook no argument about it. She even paid for the drinks.
Somewhat reluctantly, Jenny moved in and was immediately glad she did. She took over the cooking and cleaning and such while she looked for a more permanent job and Clare worked hard at the one she had. While Jenny was almost old enough to be Clare's mother, they instantly bonded more like teenage girlfriends. It helped they looked like sisters, had the same wry sense of humor and openly shared their mutual interests in erotic literature, especially very kinky, perverse and outright taboo stories.
When they had a chance, they drank wine and shared stories about themselves, their upbringing and their experiences. Clare was openly bisexual although she made no attempt to make any overt move on the totally straight Jenny. Unlike Jenny, Clare didn't have many stories to share about her past sexual encounters with others, males or females. Over time, they shared even more until Clare let it slip one evening while they were both rather tipsy that she didn't much require others.
Her sexual needs and desires were almost exclusively, and more than sufficiently, taken care of by her parents. Nor was it a one time or accidental occurrence either. On those nights she didn't return to the apartment until early morning, if at all, she spent in her parents' bed with one or both of them. Jenny found it hard to believe the perfectly ordinary middle class couple she met a couple of times would have such a proscribed incestuous relationship with their grown daughter. It was hardly molestation either, with Clare an eager and willing participant.
Jenny surprised herself, finding that situation strangely arousing and a persistent new element in her own almost daily masturbation fantasies...
Jenny knew something was wrong the moment Clare came bursting through the door, slamming her purse down on the kitchen counter.
"What is it?" Jenny asked in concern.
"Fucking shutdown," Clare muttered angrily, "the restaurant is closing down for the duration by government order, take out only."
"What does that mean?"
"It means I'm out of a fucking job unless I want to go to the shore," Clare replied, digging out a beer from the refrigerator.
"What's at the shore?"
"Harry owns another cafe there in a small old fishing village," Clare answered after taking a deep swig of the beer. "The manager just up and left, so he wants me to go over there and try to keep it open doing take out and maybe some delivery. He said I could stay in his summer cottage while there. Fucks up my racing and I just got the damn car ready to go too. Not that it matters, of course, since racing is canceled anyway."
"So when are you going and how long will you be gone?" Jenny asked warily.
"I'm leaving first thing in the morning," Clare responded finishing the beer and fishing out another for each of them, "and I have no fucking idea for how long."
"Oh," was all Jenny managed to murmur.
Early the next morning, Clare hugged Jenny one last time, both of them trying very hard to hold back their tears. She quickly turned, picked up her only bag and headed out the door for the four hour drive. For a moment, Jenny just stood there staring at the back of the closed door then sat at the table and burst into tears.
Clare sat sobbing in her twenty seven year old Suzuki Samurai for a few moments before starting the engine and pulling out into traffic. She wiped the tears from her eyes a few times with the back of her hand as she drove, glad to see traffic was especially light with most businesses closed and people staying at home.
Fifteen minutes later, Jenny was still seated at the table, tears running down her cheeks with her face buried in her hands, a cold mug of coffee next to her elbow. The door flew open and Clare came practically running into the room. Jenny rose in surprise as Clare wrapped her arms around her, both of them crying happily.
"I got to thinking about you sitting here all alone for days on end," Clare managed to say haltingly after a few moments, "I could hardly see to drive I was crying so hard so I had to turn around and come get you. We'll go do this together."
It only took a few moments for Jenny to throw a few things in a bag before they walked to the car arm in arm.
The summer cottage was truly isolated. They got lost twice before finally finding it nestled on the side of hill surrounded by a thick stand of trees above a stony beach.
Their first surprise was the size of Harry's well hidden getaway, basically a rather small single open room with a sink and ancient looking kitchen appliances against one wall. The second was the double bed pushed up against the other wall...the only one in the place. The rest of the furniture consisted of a single dresser, a table with four chairs and two rocking chairs on the small porch overlooking the sea in the distance through the surrounding treetops.
"Well, now that's special," Jenny grinned, pointing out what passed as the bathroom...a sink, commode and shower stall with a wrap around curtain barely big enough for one person in a far corner...and no privacy wall or door.
"Harry did say he likes to get away from it all here," Clare said flatly, "I guess he wasn't kidding."
"We'll just have to make the best of it," Jenny exclaimed, putting her hands on her hips and looking around intently. "Where's your sense of adventure? Think of it like going to camp when you were a little kid."
