Harry paused in the bath for a moment and took in the view before him, and what a view it was! Edwina Cory for her thirty-seven years on this earth was a splendid specimen of a woman and looked younger than she was. She had lovely brown 'mooning eyes' that seemed bigger than they really were. Her exquisitely high cheekbones combined with prominent dimples, a tiny nose (and that's not to mention a bee-stung pouty-pout), provided a face below a mane of long raven-black curls that immediately commanded the interest and attention of anyone who saw her, (male or female).
She was a tall woman although not as tall as her towering thirty-eight-year-old sister Lucy. Edwina also had (despite her generous round hips and bum set atop her long slender legs), a teensy-tiny tum-tum segment that was testament to what a good tight corset and a little self-denial (combined with long walks and vigorous riding), could accomplish on the female form.
Her most prominent features were her breasts. They were to be perfectly clear a bit on the large side of things to be perfectly clear, (in fact at first sight of her milky 'cats-heads' one might consider Edwina to be most well-endowed). Harry now suspected that 'lion noggins' might be a far better description of the pair as they jutted and bulged; seeming to stare back at him with their doubloon like areolas and red bon-bon nipples poking up as if to say,
'Good morning... a bit cold in here isn't it?'
To Harry, she was easily the most delectable morsel he could think of feasting upon. She was all motherly flesh and curves, with legs and udders and sighs attached. More than just sexual desire to him, she represented cooing comfort and a tender loving means by which to shuck off the cocoon of his adolescence while embracing his transformation into a man.
Oh yes, he desperately wanted her despite of the inherent incestuous wrongfulness of it all (and OH YES it felt so terribly wrong... it really did), but then again; he'd longed to have this happen for such a very very long time and it turns out his mummy had been so willing all along. His conscience and lust wrestled inside his head as Mummy winked at him; bringing one of her bee-stung nipples to her pouty lips for a good sucky-wuck.
RIGHT! Judgment be damned; if this was all wrong, then what was the point of being a moral soul? No one but Auntie knew, and she wasn't about to tell anyone, (after what vileness she'd just done to him)!
So much for his 'conscience'; it seemed 'lust' had been far more skilled as a wrestler, (and when 'opportunism' 'rationalism' and 'denial' entered the fray on lust's side, well dear readers it simply wasn't a fair fight)!
He shot one more look over his shoulder at Auntie Lucy behind him. She was frigging away with vigor at her little oyster pearl atop its pink grotto; running that lewd tongue over her lips in voyeuristic anticipation. That normally stern expression of hers was gone and replaced by a lusty visage; catlike brown eyes atop high cheek bones, a fine slender nose, full luscious lips; all stacked atop a slightly more angular chin than Mummy's.
Lucy's face was beautiful but unlike Mummy's beauty (which made one simply wish to melt), Auntie's look was that of gorgeous confidence that bordered on arrogance. She was a handsome woman who could easily seduce and manipulate, (that is... when she wasn't a complete terror).
Like Mummy, Auntie Lucy was a raven haired towering woman (the taller of the two as I mentioned earlier), with long deer-like legs but her shape was less rounded than Mum's 'milk-maid' form. Her slender middle sat atop an arse best described as a valentine flipped upside down. Her breasts (although not as huge as Mummy's), were like plump gourds with lovely little bon-bon nubs for nipples. She smiled, nodding her head in her sister's direction in an encouraging yet unspoken sort of,
"Well boy... get at it! C'mon!"
Harry turned and was just about to help his mummy with a bit of 'spit and polish' (as any dutiful son really should do under such circumstances), when the
rub 'n scrub in the back o' the tub
activities were interrupted by door to the bath coming open. He was actually in 'mid lurch' in sort of a crouching ducky-walk and the intrusion startled him terribly. It was as if he'd just been caught by the school master doing an illicit bit of mischief, and he simply panicked. He slipped and fell back onto his bum with a resounding KA-SPLASH! (whacking his noggin against the tub's edge in the process).
As to why he'd panicked, Harry wasn't exactly sure. I suspect dear readers that despite all the naughtiness that had happened betwixt him and Auntie Lucy under his mum's 'supervision'; he was still English, still a gentleman in this house,
and as still quite naked!
It was also
still
1875 and you don't simply "undo" eighteen years of uptight British suppression of urges, appetites, and passions in one go (no matter how 'libertine' Mummy and Auntie's practices)!
He also wasn't sure just who in the household should know about 'this sort of thing,' for that matter. There was a danger of this getting out and you must remember; Queen 'Vicki' was STILL on the throne and her example was felt everywhere. He doubted seriously she'd approve!
The result was he had an instantaneous attack of modesty, tried to get as low as possible in the bath, and had the misfortune of stepping on the bar of soap somewhere in the steamy water. The wretched little cake shot out from under his foot like a greased ball from a twelve-pounder artillery piece. The rest was all 'crash and splash,' I'm afraid!
Now he lay on partially on his side in the churned up water, one foot up in the air over the rim of the bath and the other bent around him at a wicked and unnatural angle against the tub wall. His head ached like he was a freshly clubbed fish and his shoulder was not much better. Even worse, his badly banged bum now
smarted
as well as stung from the earlier kisses from Auntie Lucy's cane. Suffice to say, he was a sight and couldn't have been more of a pathetic example, had he been unhorsed at Bosworth Field; lying helpless in his armor at the marsh with Stanley and Henry's men riding down upon him from all sides and ...What?
Oh please just look it up readers I shan't go into it here.
Lucy shrieked with laughter from where she sat at the foot of the bath as she found his slip and tumble "arse over tea kettle" most hilarious! Mummy wrinkled her nose in irritation at the interruption. She sat up and craned her head out of the bath and let loose with a loud,
"YES?"
Meredith pushed her way through the door with two wooden buckets steaming with hot water she'd just carried up the stairs. She huffed and puffed until she set them down upon the floor next to the tub. Harry dropped his foot down off the lip of the bath. He hoped the maid hadn't noticed his presence in the fog, and for all his pain and suffering, he remained perfectly still; imitating the same manner as a deer which has heard a twig snap in a wood. His head was low and just above the waterline and he contemplated diving below the surface but he was uncertain just how long he could hold his breath if he did so. He then heard the maid explain herself to his mother,
"I thought you both would be in need some more warm water. There are two more buckets like this down in the kitchen that the cook has on the stove for you Mah' am! Oh and Drusilla is fetching more water for the stove more as we speak. That should be about four more coming up."
"Oh..." Mummy answered graciously, "that IS awfully good of you Meredith. Yes, please add them right in!"
The maid nodded politely. She hoisted the first steaming bucket over the gaudy gilded lip of the tub. As she was about to pour into the bath, Mummy's eyes fell upon Harry. She frowned at him as cowered low in the water snapping,
"Harry! Do be a good sport and move your bum out of the way or you'll surely have it scalded as well as banged up and striped! Oh, and do please stop moaning like a mare giving birth. Try to behave like the manly fellow I know you to be. You had knock from a tub, not a musket ball to the temple!"
"Yes Mummy!" replied Harry.
He shot out of the way of impending cascade of scalding hot liquid and dashed straight into the clutches of his wicked Auntie Lucy, who ceased her shrill derisive laughter long enough to scoop him from behind in a powerful she-bear hug. She held fast the little cub she'd snatched up at the water's edge; giggling and kissing at the back of his neck with puckery smooching lips before running her naughty cow tongue up and down his nape.
I suppose like most she-bears she decided if she cleaned it; then it was hers.
