"Did I tell you that my Mother is coming to stay with us?"
I shook my head, and then I said, "No."
"I thought I did."
She hadn't. My Mother-in-law coming to visit, was something I would have definitely remembered.
"When, and for how long?"
"Just for ten days," then she looked at me and smiled, before adding, "She will be here on Sunday."
I smiled back, because I didn't want an argument, but inwardly I groaned. In less than a week, 'The Bitch' would be here. That was my pet name for her, but I called her Helen to her face. She didn't like me, and, to anyone other than my Wife, it was obvious. The bottom line is that I am not good enough for her Daughter. Charlotte's boyfriend before me was a Doctor, and I am sure Helen would have preferred her to have married him instead of me.
"And there is something else."
I didn't bother asking what that was, instead I just waited patiently for her to tell me. Whatever it was, it couldn't be worse than her Mother coming to stay.
"She has a problem with her back, and she wants you to treat it."
I groaned again, but this time it came out. She chose to ignore it.
"I told her how good you are, and that if you can't help her, then nobody can."
That was high praise, but it was from Charlotte who loves me, so it didn't count. Also, I would bet money that her Mother had to be convinced. I could imagine what Helen might have said.
"Thank you Charlotte, but wouldn't it be better if I went to a qualified Physiotherapist?"
I was qualified. I had the certificates and diplomas to prove it, but I would need more than that to convince my Mother-in-law that I was any good.
"So will you do that for her?"
"Yes, and I'll do my best."
And I would, but only because she wanted me to.
Eventually, the dreaded day came. She arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon. Charlotte got a big hug from her, but I just got a limp handshake, and a dismissive look. While Mother and Daughter went into the living room, I unpacked the car. Three large suitcases, and some hand luggage. Was she really only staying for such a short while? Tonight, when we were in bed, was Charlotte going to tell me something?
"You know that I said Mother was staying for ten days. What I meant to say was ten months."
I shuddered at the thought of that.
When I joined them in the living room, they were deep in conversation. I slumped down on the sofa. The next thing I knew was that I was being shaken. I had dozed off.
"Mother is ready now."
"What?"
Charlotte was standing over me, with a look that said, 'Do not argue with me'.
"For you to sort her back out."
I was planning to do that tomorrow, but apparently, while I was asleep, it had been decided that it should be done now.
Ten minutes later, I was in the spare bedroom with my Mother-in-law.
"You need to take all your clothes off, except for your underwear, and then lie face down on the bed. Then cover your bottom half with the towel."
That got a slight shake of the head from her, and a patronising smile.
"That is not necessary. I will be keeping all of my clothes on."
As calmly as I could, I said, "It is necessary. I need to massage you with oil. I can do it with your clothes on, without the oil, but it's a lot less effective."
There was an awkward silence, while I waited for her to decide. When she did, I was surprised.
"OK."
I had expected her to stand her ground, for her to assume that she knew best, but instead she had decided to take my professional advice. I left her alone to undress. When I returned she was ready.
It was her lower back that was giving her pain, so I concentrated on that area. When I found the spot that was tender, she cried out.
"Sorry. I'll be gentler now that I know where it hurts."
"I hope so."
I could hear the annoyance in her voice. I was tempted to press hard again, but that would just be mean, and it would also confirm her opinion of me that I wasn't any good at this.
For the next fifteen minutes I worked my magic.
"How does that feel now?"
"It's sore, but I think it has helped."
"Good. By tomorrow you should start to feel better."
"Have we finished?"
I had planned to do as little as possible, but because she genuinely seemed pleased with what I had done, I was now willing to carry on.
"I can do some more if you want. Just a general massage near the problem area, to strengthen the surrounding muscles."
"That would be nice."
Ten minutes later, I had done all that I wanted to do, except for her buttocks. It was time to stop. Then I thought about it. If she was just a normal client, and not my Mother-in-law, then I would ask her if she wanted her bottom doing. There was no reason why she shouldn't be offered the same treatment.
"Would you like me to massage your buttocks?"
"Is that necessary?"
"It should help with your back problem, but it's up to you."
"OK. You seem to know what you are doing, so I will take your word for it."
However, in order to do her bottom, the towel had to come off, and her knickers lowered. So she needed to be warned.
"I am going to take the towel off."
Nothing from her, so I removed it. Now that it was off, I took the opportunity of having a good look at her bottom. It was a Goldilocks one, not too big and not too small. It was covered by a surprisingly small pair of knickers. Marks out of ten? It had to be a nine.
"I just need to pull your knickers down a bit. Are you OK with that?"
"Is that..."
Then she started again, "Yes, but don't take them off."
She was going to ask if it was necessary, then she realised that of course it was.
Her knickers were now halfway down, and I was pummelling her bottom. As I worked deep into the muscles, I thought of what she had said about not taking them off. Then, to my utter amazement, I started to get hard. Yes, I didn't like her, and I knew that she didn't like me, but having my hands on her nice bottom, was getting me excited.
I was now not just pressing down, I was doing circular motions. To put it crudely, I was grinding her cunt into the bed, and she was responding. At first with the occasional low moan, then louder ones as I pushed harder. I then briefly stopped, so that I could pull her knickers lower. They were now so low that if she opened her legs, I would have access to her cunt.
When I continued massaging her, she climaxed.
It was sudden, and it took me by surprise. Her body tensed, and then she gasped, before saying, what sounded like, "Oh fuck." But I must have been mistaken, my Mother-in-law never ever uses bad language. While she was recovering, I gently pulled her knickers up.
"Finished. I hope you enjoyed the massage."
I then left her alone to dress. It was twenty minutes before she was back with us in the living room.
Charlotte asked her, "Did Harry do a good job?"
"It was OK."
I was disappointed. The massage had been better than OK, and I had given her a climax as an added bonus. What did I have to do to her so that she would sing my praises?
It was almost eleven before we went to bed. I had work tomorrow, but Charlotte was off so that she could spend some time with her Mother. Because she wasn't going to be working, she had taken the opportunity to have a few drinks.
"Was it strange massaging my Mother," then she giggled.
"No, she was just like any other client."
"But when you massage me, we always end up fucking."
I gave her a stern look, and then I said, "I have lots of clients. You are the only one I fuck."
"But she is your Mother-in-law. I read in a magazine that it's every man's fantasy to have sex with his Mother-in-law."
I shook my head, "You are drunk. Go to sleep."
She then turned over on her side. I thought I was going to have trouble with her, but very soon she was snoring. I then tried to sleep as well.
Half an hour later, I was still awake, and I was thinking about Helen. She had Charlotte when she was only nineteen, so even though her Daughter is now twenty one, she is only forty, and she is still attractive enough to turn heads. Charlotte gets her good looks, and shapely body from her. It has been known for people meeting them together for the first time, to assume that they are Sisters rather than Mother and Daughter. So it was natural for me to get excited while I was massaging her, but what had made her react in that way, to let me give her a climax?
The next day, when I got home from work, I got the answer.
