Eli Farragut, namesake magnate of the Farragut and Central Railroad, or "F & C" as it was more commonly called, was laid to rest, unembalmed, on Tuesday, May 21, 1940. Immediately thereafter, his sole heir, twenty-eight-year-old Mary McGuinness Trotter, decided to consolidate her family into an enclave.
In a hectic flurry, Mary, her husband Ted, and her son Arthur, moved out of their small cottage, at 46 1/2 Garvey Street, into Eli's huge old Victorian home, at Number 46, fifty yards across the same massive city lot. So too, did Mary's parents, Jock and Isabel, along with her much younger sister, Cecilia, leave their bungalow, on Oak Avenue, and remove to great house. The green-and-ivory gingerbread monster had plenty of room.
Arthur and Cecilia, nine-years-old and only nine days apart, were great chums. They were delighted to get large neighboring bedrooms under the eaves in the mansion's finished attic. In their view, however, the most exciting feature was the roofwalk, which could be accessed through any of the dormer windows in their bedrooms, or from their large shared connecting bathroom. They could play Peter Pan and Mary Darling to their hearts' content.
Ted and Mary took over the master suite, which comprised half of the second floor and included its own private bathroom. Jock and Isabel settled into the two remaining second-floor bedrooms, which, like the children's rooms, flanked a good-sized bath. Jock acted disgruntled at the prospect of losing his sleeping partner of thirty years, but he secretly smiled at the increased opportunity to fuck his eldest daughter with greater frequency.
For herself, Isabel thought the accommodations would be a great way to honor her recently required sexual fidelity to her son-in-law. Cheerfully countering her husband's feigned complaint, she had observed, "We've never had the room to spread out before, dear. You know how you complain about me snoring... which I DON'T, of course!" She had laughed a little laugh, kissed Jock's wrinkled cheek and the matter was resolved.
Meanwhile, Ted proposed a sensible solution for the newly empty cottage: Rent it out, as Eli had done when he was alive. He argued further that Arlene and Cynthia Hart, a quiet widow and daughter who were both well known, would be ideal tenants. Mary agreed they were fine women and deserved a better place to live than their current duplex rental. "It will be a community service as well," she had said. "You're so thoughtful, Teddy. I'll call Arlene right away."
And so it was, on that June Solstice, Jock McGuinness came home from work early. It was not only the longest day of the year, it was the warmest day to date. The warehouse and stevedore crew had finished their last barge in record time and gone for drinks. Looking across the office at Arlene Hart, typing away at her desk between him and the door to the office's small bathroom, Jock grinned and said, "Let's call it a day, Arlene. I'm hot and bothered... think I'll go home. Why don't you nip down to The Shillelagh and join the boys for a round on me." He fished a deuce from his wallet and added, "Here... just because I'm a teetotal doesn't mean I disapprove."
Arlene wasted no time. She covered her machine, fluffed her hair, pulled on a pair of white cotton gloves and snapped her purse closed around the two-dollar bill before Jock could change his mind. "OK, thanks," she said, flashing pearly teeth between her perfect scarlet lips. "You sure you don't want to give me a pony-ride first, though?" She nodded her head at another interior door behind her.
"You know me, Lena." Jock used her pet name and spoke huskily, as he thought about their regular romps on the iron cot in the indicated converted utility room. "I would LOVE to, but really... I feel bushed." Pointing a finger at his bookkeeper, he gave her shapely mature figure a long lascivious once-over, then, with a wink, he said, "Go. Have a good time. I'll give you a rain check on the tumble."
Now, in his undershirt and a comfortable pair of khakis, Jock relaxed under the apple trees behind the stately looming Victorian at 46 Garvey Street. His weathered-wood Adirondack chair gave friendly support as he sipped a cold Hires root beer from the bottle. With a soft sigh, he regretfully mulled over turning down Arlene's offered quickie. "JESUS, I'm so fucking horny," he muttered to himself.
On his way to work that morning, he had dropped Mary at the F & C depot to catch a train to St. Louis where she would finalize some estate details with her attorney, Robert Schuster. Jock had managed to get in a deep farewell kiss, and a solid tit-squeeze, but that hardly satisfied him. She was going to be gone the rest of the month.
Meanwhile, the separate bedroom idea had not worked out exactly as he had hoped. For more than a week, events had conspired against him. Not once had Jock had the pleasure of his daughter's pussy wrapped tightly around his prick. Also, Isabel had successfully avoided every conjugal overture since the weekend of Farragut's death. His nuts ached. Involuntarily, he crunched his butt.
Grumpily swigging his soda, Jock locked onto a positive note. "At least, Ted's taken Arthur and Cecie camping until the Fourth of July," he mused. "With everyone gone, maybe I'll be able to give Arlene her 'rain check' tonight... or tomorrow." Laughing into the overhead tree boughs, transitioning from fragrant full bloom to budding green leaves, he added out loud, "Or BOTH!"
Just then Cynthia Hart walked out of the near by cottage, carrying a tin pail in one hand and a short wooden step-ladder in the other. When he saw her, Jock exclaimed, "SHIT!" Then, to himself, he added more quietly, "Forgot about HER. At the office, Lena can lock the doors, but that won't work HERE, with her daughter around." His free hand clenched into a fist on the chair's wide arm. Jock's jaw tightened and his knuckles turned as white as the bleached wood.
Cynthia, unaware of her shadowed observer, opened the ladder and set about washing the cottage's mullioned windows. Jock squinted while he finished his pop and stared over the bottle at the eighteen-year-old brunette. When she leaned forward and rubbed the glass panes, her thin cotton dress rode up her thighs. Suddenly it was her mother who was all but forgotten as Jock studied the lightly clad nubile creature thirty feet away.
Cynthia's ass cheeks swirled beneath pastel blue and green geometric designs while her bare hamstrings and calves flexed, showing off the youthful tone of her shapely legs. When she stretched, either to her left or right for the extreme window squares, her bust was profiled and tautly prominent. Even at a distance, and despite shimmering heat distortion, Jock saw enough to make his mouth water and his dick thicken.
Looking down at the growing lump in his pants, he adjusted his position. His head snapped up when he heard the teen's high sharp shriek. Cynthia was no longer on the ladder, but lay crumpled on the grass and brickwork at the cottage wall's base.
Unfolding himself from the canted chair seat as quickly as possible, Jock rushed to see what happened. He found Cynthia trying to sit up and clear her head. Falling to his knees, he eased her shoulders back to the ground with firm caring hands. "You OK? What HAPPENED? Just lay still for a moment!" He peppered the stunned girl with questions and instructions as he surveyed the scene.
Cynthia smiled weakly up at her her landlord's father and her mother's boss. Closing her eyes, she explained, "A bee buzzed me." After a moment's silence, with her eyes still shut, she continued, "I was startled... lost my balance and fell." She again raised her torso from the path and propped herself up on her elbows. "I feel a little woozy, but I think I'm alright."
The soapy window water from the overturned bucket had soaked Cynthia from her neck to her knees. Her frock looked like a Rorschach inkblot. Jock's free association, when he stared at the vast sudsy splotch's bilateral symmetry, was restricted to the bulging, and clearly bra-free, breasts plastered by sopping wet, nearly transparent, dress. His swelling cock rebelled against the awkwardness of his kneeling stance.
"Don't be too hasty, Cindy," Jock said, calmly. His natural use of her informal nickname put her at ease. Her tongue tip peeked between her smiling teeth while he added, sympathetically, "Head injuries can be tricky... and I see a little bit of blood at the corner of your mouth."
When she heard this, Cynthia licked her fully open lips. The bitter iron taste she found invaded her consciousness. "Oh," she offered, "I think I bit my lip when I hit the ground." She rubbed her jaw with her right hand. "I'm alright... really."
Jock brooked no argument. He said, in a no-nonsense tone, "That may be, but just the same, let me get you in the house." Sliding his strong forearms, like lift-truck forks, under her back and bottom, Jock lifted her, rocked back on his heels and stood, as if her hundred and ten pounds were nothing.
