A Dangerous Infatuation 6: Poppy�s Mom By Romany (M/F, M/g) PROLOGUE Stephen Slade has been having an illicit affair with his neighbor�s daughter Poppy. Stephen is sixty-three and Poppy is thirteen. Poppy visits him on Saturdays, as she is at boarding school Monday to Friday. Poppy comes through a concealed gate in the fence between their two properties when her parents are in the city and she is being looked after by their housekeeper; who is not aware Poppy leaves the property. On her last visit, Poppy brought Stephen bad news. Her parents are to be divorced. To save money, Poppy must leave the private school she attends and return to the family home seven days a week. And Poppy�s mom has decided to quit work and stay home to look after her daughter. This means that the times that Poppy and Stephen could have together will evaporate through the increased presence of her mom. It looks like Stephen�s sexual odyssey with his young nymph has reached an end. POPPY�S MOM Poppy�s visits stopped cold once Terri Wilson stopped work and Stephen saw Poppy being taken to and from her new school most days; Terri driving the young girl there and back. Sometimes Stephen passed them in the street but there was zero acknowledgment of his existence from Terri. He was treated as just another motorist driving by. Poppy stared straight ahead as she and Stephen had agreed she would, should they ever see each other outside of his yard. Pretend she did not know him. Therefore it came as some surprise to him when he answered the door late one Saturday morning in early in November, and standing on his doorstep was Terri and Poppy. It was a cold day and both were wearing warm coats and beanies. Poppy was holding a large folder in a plastic bag. Stephen felt a pang of concern at seeing his young lover standing there with her mother. He was worried that somehow the mother may have some inkling of what had gone between Poppy and him. But he soon realized this was somewhat of a social visit. �Good morning Stephen. How are you this morning?� Terri asked brightly� Stephen looked from one to the other. �Mrs. Wilson. Terri�how are you? And, Poppy isn�t it�?� he answered pretending to be vague about what the little girl�s name was. �That�s right. This is Penelope�or Poppy as we call her,� Terri beamed at him. He was somewhat amused at the familiarity with which she greeted him given how seldom they had communicated during the time they had lived next door. �Terri�Poppy, what can I do for you this cold morning?� he answered warmly. �Oh, forgive me. Come in out of the cold.� The two stepped passed him and he closed the door behind them. Poppy deliberately avoided looking at him by staring at the floor somewhere out in front of her and Terri stood and looked around the room. He could tell the decor and ambiance of the room had taken her by surprise. �What a fabulous room,� Terri gushed. She wandered away from Poppy and Stephen, to view the entrance hall from a different angle. She stopped and peered into the main living room and drifted through the door. Stephen stood and looked at Poppy. As soon as the young teen knew her mother was out of sight, she quickly looked up at him and smiled warmly. �I miss you� she mouthed at him. He mouthed the words back. "So Poppy, what have you got there?� he said raising his voice so her mother would hear. �My school is selling Christmas decorations as a fund raising project,� she answered equally loudly to alert her mother to the discussion. �I�m showing the brochure of the decorations and hoping to take orders so they can be delivered by December first,� she explained. Stephen had a closet full of decorations and a garage full of lights. He hadn�t bothered with either since his wife Jessie had died of cancer four years earlier. He usually spent Christmas with his sons and their families anyway. Each year he would visit one for Thanksgiving and the other for Christmas, alternating with each, every other year. But this visit was a stroke of luck and he was willing to buy heaps just to have this contact. He immediately hatched a plan to ensure he could get further contact with his young lover. He may miss the sex but even time in her company without sex was preferable to no contact at all. And he felt that to forge a relationship with Poppy and Terri was a plus, long term. �Well take your coat off and let�s have a look,� he said. Poppy was wearing an expensive long black leather coat with a dark navy blue beanie. As she opened the coat he held his breath as she revealed a tight ribbed cream cashmere sweater and tight crotched Levis with a light flare at the cuffs. A matching scarf to her beanie hung inside the lapels of the coat. He could see she had continued to develop and she now had pronounced breasts pushing against the tight high neck sweater. Not large but clearly she was well past puberty and she had definitely filled out in the short time since he had seen her up close. He walked across to the drawing room and pulled two chairs from the table and motioned her to sit down. She smirked at him and looked back out into the large entrance hall and rolled her eyes as if to show exasperation at her absent mother. Stephen grinned and blew a small kiss at her. She giggled under her breath and then opened the bag and removed a hard covered 3-ring binder and spread it before him on the table. They started to thumb through and he saw there were pages of baubles and hangings and lights for Christmas trees. Spangled hangings and various shapes of decorations to hang around the walls and ceiling. There was one section devoted to the inflatable figures often seen in gardens around Christmas. Reindeer, Santa figures, and elves. Some were large items and some more petite examples. And a few pages of the ubiquitous lights that hang around the roof and gables of the house. As they were pretending to look through the catalog, all the while straining to touch each other in an accidental yet desired fashion, they heard Terri coming into the lounge. �What a fabulous, fabulous house,� she gushed. �I had no idea it was anything like this.� Stephen looked up and grinned at her. �It�s not bad," he said knowing it was a massive understatement. �My dear Jessie put the last years of her life into making it this way. It�s not that she didn�t have the raw design to work on but I confess she did it proud.� �She did it herself,� Terri asked incredulously. �She did the basic drafts herself. Then she got a professional in to do the implementation,� he explained. �Who was it?� she asked inquisitively. �Helms and Schmeickle,� he answered. �H and S. They are top flight. I wouldn�t have picked it though. This is not representative of their work,� she added. He nodded his understanding of her expertise in assessing the firm who completed the house interior. �Of course. You are an interior design consultant,� Stephen said quickly as if he had just recalled her profession. In reality he was playing dumb to allow her the opportunity to big note from a professional viewpoint of the work that was done to the house. �Would you mind if I looked upstairs?� she asked tentatively. �I�d like to put the whole work in context. Out of professional admiration, of course,� she added quickly. �Be my guest Terri,� he chuckled. With that she gave a little girl squeal, patted her hands together lightly in mock applause and headed off out towards the stairs. He looked at Poppy and grinned. She rolled her eyeballs in a derisive way and grimaced at her mother�s adolescent behavior. As soon as Terri vanished from the room, heading upstairs, Poppy suddenly leaned across and kissed him full on the lips. His instinct was to simply swamp her with pent up passion born of too long without his nymph�s touch. But the presence in the house of her mother saw him ease her back quickly and he saw the pang of disappointment on her pretty face. �Careful sweetie,� he whispered in a hushed tone. �We�ve come too far to slip up now. Patience. This is working out much better than I hoped,� and he glanced furtively behind him towards the door to the main entrance hall. She frowned as if to ask the question �how?� He leaned forwards and she leaned into hear what he had to say. �This is perfect. I need a relationship with your mom to show how trustworthy I can be with you. She�s left us here without question,� he explained. �It�s high time we became proper neighbors and who knows when a solo mom might want her daughter looked after so she can have some semblance of social life. Particularly with a nice pool outside for you to use in the summer,� he continued. The young girl mouthed a silent �oh� and beamed at the plan. Stephen looked back furtively at the doorway and continued. �Now this is how we start out. You said you could bring me samples of the lights and inside hanging decorations. Well you can do just that but in a way that you can return here on your own to show and tell about the products,� he said quickly. �We just need to make sure your mom doesn�t see the need to return with you. That way we can establish the contact without her needing to be here. I�m sure she�ll go along with it.� She grinned and nodded. Then her face clouded over. �But that�s only a one off,� she said quietly. �Small beginnings my sweet, small beginnings,� he said sagely. He stood and walked to the door and listened. He could faintly hear Terri upstairs. He tiptoed back to Poppy�s side and held his hands out and she stood quickly and they allowed themselves the pleasure of a stolen embrace; he crushing her small body to him. He couldn�t resist it; he pushed his hardening cock into her and she felt it and moaned and turned her face up for the inevitable kiss. As they stood kissing he ran a hand deliberately over her pert young breasts straining against her ribbed sweater. She reciprocated the touching by zeroing in on his erection and grasped it through his trousers. He couldn�t resist copping a feel of her warm tight young mound in her jeans and she stiffened and pushed herself against his hand. They were dangerously close to all-out groping until Stephen finally broke them apart and guided her back to her chair. He arranged his cock in his under shorts to stop it tenting in his trousers and the little minx giggled audibly and whispered �he loves me�. He nodded agreement with a grin. Terri returned a good ten minutes later. They were still pretending to pour over the brochure and both looked up as she came into the room. �Stephen this is a magnificent house. It truly is�� she complimented him. �But?� he grinned up at her in a kindly way; realizing from her tone she was inferring it wasn�t quite perfect. �The guest rooms and the study could do with a makeover,� she said bluntly. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Really?� he asked somewhat surprised at her comments. �I feel they are what they are,� he said defensively. She looked stricken believing she had offended him. She reached and took one of his arms gently in her hand; almost as an apology. �Oh no, no, no. Please don�t get me wrong,� she started hastily. �No it�s not that they are not to the furnishing standard of the other parts of the house, but more they are not in character with the master bedroom. That is the key to the whole d�cor of the rooms upstairs,� she added quickly. Actually she was right. Jessie had run out of energy when she had completed the master bedroom. She and Stephen didn�t know she already had secondary cancer symptoms at that stage. And the smallest of the three guest rooms was the neatest so she worked backwards from that just for conformity sake. She allowed the contractors free license to simply replicate the best example and that�s how it turned out. �Maybe we can work out a deal then,� he said thoughtfully. �Perhaps you could advise me on what to do. Maybe even oversee it,� he said looking at her. �I�d pay you of course�seeing you are a professional decorator.� He really couldn�t care less about the rooms. They were fine for him. But he was keen to string the mother along in his quest for her daughter again. She beamed expectantly at him. �OK. Right then�that sounds like a plan. Let me think about it and we can discuss what can be done,� she said nodding her head in acknowledgment of his interest in her professional services. She looked at Poppy. �Well my precious Poppet�� she said smiling at her daughter. Poppy grimaced at the word Poppet and muttered, �Stop calling me that name mom� in a scolding tone. Terri ignored the girls� admonishment. �Has Mr. Slade decided what he would like then?� she asked expectantly. �Sort of, but I thought I should bring some of the samples across for him to look at,� the girl added nonchalantly, not looking at her mother. �Maybe I could come back once we finish here,� she added as an afterthought. Terri looked at Stephen then back at her daughter. �Oh, honey, remember I said we had to go into Manhattan and meet your father,� she said almost apologetically. Poppy scowled. �I don�t want to go mom,� she said sullenly. �He�ll just have that cretin he�s living with along with him and I don�t want to be around her,� the little girl whined. Terri looked uncomfortable. �Come on honey. It�s bad enough your dad and I having issues without you having issues with him as well. He is your dad and even if you don�t like Marcia, she�s living with him now so we have to both accept that.� �But mom you�re just going to sign some papers and things. What good is it for me to be there? You�ll be in and out and I�ll just hang around the lawyer�s office and we�ll just leave again. Anyway I hate it when you are both with me together. There�s so much tension,� Poppy complained. �Oh Poppy you have to deal with the situation. It won�t go away and it�s the way it is now,� Terri chided. Stephen followed this exchange and felt embarrassed and saddened for the young girl; having her mother obliquely accuse her of immaturity with her father�s new domestic arrangement. He coughed as if to remind the two of his presence. �You say you�re just going into sign some papers?� he asked carefully, interrupting their exchange. Terri looked at him. �Yes. I have to do it today, as I can�t get there next week. And Poppy will have to come. She hasn�t seen Grant for a week or so anyway,� she added as justification for the girls presence. �Mom it�s not even a proper visit anyway. The cretin will be hovering, you�ll be hissing at them both and I just hate that,� the little girl continued to plead her case. �Terri, why doesn�t Poppy come here for the hour or so you are away? She can bring the samples and we can select what I want after viewing them. Then you come back and we can have coffee, or lunch and maybe discuss my rooms upstairs,� he said helpfully. Terri looked at him and she was obviously considering his suggestion. �Oh Stephen, I don�t know. Grant is expecting Poppy�� she tailed off. But he could tell she liked the suggestion of Poppy returning to show him the sample decorations. They had come here as a fund raising visit for Poppy�s school; that was the immediate agenda. �Maybe we could both come back later,� she said by way of compromise. �I really think you should come with me Poppet,� she said turning to look at her sullen daughter. Stephen thought Poppy was about to explode at the reuse of the word �Poppet�. Terri recognized anger was brewing in the little girl that Stephen had not seen but she quickly walked to the girl�s side and bent and embraced her daughter. �Oh I�m sorry honey. I�m so sorry I baby you. What must Mr. Slade think of me?� she said looking up at Stephen almost apologetically. He was genuinely touched by the woman�s tender capitulation to her daughter�s obvious unhappiness. He didn�t think she was capable of this tenderness based on past meetings. Maybe the time together for mother and daughter would be the saving of a rather formal relationship, evident so far in the young girl�s life. �Mr. Slade understands entirely,� Stephen said referring to himself in the third person. �I�ve been around enough domestic troubles in my time to understand the depth of pain in any sort of marital breakup. But I can see the concern here so please don�t mind me.� �How did you hear about Grant and me?� Terri quickly turned to him and asked suspiciously. �Alice,� he answered simply. �Ah yes, Alice,� Terri exclaimed ruefully. �The fine Mrs. Jessop has been carrying tales again has she?� �Not exactly Terri. But she just mentioned it as I believe she knows mutual friends of yours and Grant. And on one level it is helpful to know so I can be respectful of it, so if there is anything I can do for you and Poppy, please don�t hesitate to ask. But I don�t mean to pry or be nosy,� he explained. She nodded. �I understand. I should have said, rather than launch into this diatribe about visits and divorce papers and things. But you�re right Stephen. It does help on one level at least. I sometime questions Alice�s motives but on the other hand I doubt if I would have known how to broach the circumstances with you.� She turned to Poppy who was playing the pathos card like a stage diva. �Poppy I really think you should come with me,� she said pleading with the little girl. Poppy had her arms hooked in the back pockets of her jeans and she shook her head slowly and stared into her mother�s eyes. I could see the tears. Terri pecked the little girl on the nose and crushed her in a big hug. �OK Poppy,� she sighed in resignation. �You win. Whatever you want darling,� she said softly. �Whatever you want.� Poppy stared passed her mother and grinned wickedly at me. Brilliant acting! Terri turned to look at me. �Stephen we will take you up on your kind offer. Poppy can bring the decorations and order form back and we can sign you up for the best Christmas lights in the town.� She turned to Poppy; �I�ll go into meet your father and you can bring the samples back to Mr. Slade,� she paraphrased the arrangement, and smiled warmly and hugged the girl again, kissing her hair. Stephen stifled a chuckle as Poppy�s face broke into a smile. She was doing a superb job of managing her mother. Terri kissed her daughter lightly again and let her go. Poppy turned quickly to retrieve her coat from the back of the chair where she had tossed it and began putting it on. She had it on quickly and she started to arrange the beanie on her head. Her mother started to fossick in her pockets and soon came up with her own beanie; and picked up the scarf she must have stuffed on the chair when she went upstairs. Poppy smiled and stole a quick glance at Stephen. He nodded slightly to Poppy as Terri had turned away to look into a small ornamental hanging mirror on the wall, and arrange her beanie. He moved deftly around behind Poppy to gather up the binder and help her return it to the plastic bag she had wrapped it in to protect it against the weather. He handed the bag to Poppy who was standing waiting on her mother. As Stephen had stooped down he looked sideways, as a natural action, to regard the back of Terri. She was rather attractive, at probably early forty-something. She was tall and slender with shoulder length blond hair. He could see where Poppy got her golden locks from. He was looking at the curve of the coat down her waist and the nice flow over her hips. She had a nice figure. He could see denim-clad legs and black ankle boots below the coat. As he looked at the woman�s back and then glanced up at her head he suddenly realized she was watching him in the mirror as his eyes roved over her rear, and their eyes met for an instant. A smile of satisfaction that he should be regarding her in a flattering way came to her lips and she gave him a little nod and she drew her tongue lightly between her slightly parted lips. Stephen blushed at having been caught clearly ogling her as if he were undressing her with his eyes. He averted his eyes and cursed himself that his natural embarrassed reaction had shown so evidently at being caught peering. And what�s more he was under no illusions she had just given him the glad eye. He turned quickly towards Poppy to hand her the binder and he saw the girl was standing glaring at her mother who could not see the young girl�s expression or reflection in the mirror. �Oh God� Stephen thought; �Poppy had seen Terri�s look to me as well. That�s all I need. Jealousy!� Terri and Poppy left for home and Stephen clapped his hands together with glee. Poppy would be back presently, and with her mother absent in Manhattan for over an hour at least, he could indulge himself with the young nymph. He went upstairs and into the small guest room at the end of the house nearest the Wilson�s. He was watching out the window for Terri�s Volvo to pull out of the drive, and for Poppy to traipse over to him with the sample decorations. He didn�t have to wait long. Terri�s car pulled out onto the street and he watched Terri talking to Poppy out the window. The little girl was standing at the window with a box in her hand, talking to her mother. Obviously agreeing to some instruction being issued before Terri drove off. He watched Poppy head towards his house and raced downstairs and waited. She rang the doorbell yet he gave it thirty seconds or so before he opened the door, so as not to appear eager if Alice Jessop was by chance watching from her window. This had to look like a natural visit by the little girl. One apparently sanctioned by her mother as evidenced by the curbside farewell. He opened the door and Poppy stood there beaming at him. She walked into the entrance and waited until he closed the door before she dropped the cardboard box she had been carrying and she leaped into his arms and swung her arms around his neck. He lifted her so she wrapped her legs around his hips and she cried �I�ve missed you s-o-o-o-o much� as he crushed her to him. There was no waiting. He carried her upstairs to the bedroom, and with a laugh of triumph he dropped her onto the bed that he had turned down in anticipation. He lay half across her while standing on the floor beside the bed and they kissed passionately for some minutes. They barely said a word and he started to unbuckle the thick belt she had around the low riding jeans on her slender hips. She lifted her hips as he pulled the jeans down off her legs. He paused as the jeans bunched at her black boots and he quickly pulled each boot off. She was breathing heavier now; due to the haste, and exertion of trying to get the pants off. He got the jeans past her ankles and he discarded them, along with her boots, onto the floor. She was wearing a pair of brilliant white panties with a lace panel in the front. He mentally drooled as he saw the mound of her pubis and the slightly rough surface of the panties as the fledgling pubic growth pushed at the thin material. He could see the impression made by her labia which faintly showed her slit, against the material from within. She levered herself upright and pulled the ribbed sweater over her head. She was wearing a matching white brassiere that had lace trim. Terri was dressing her daughter in expensive underwear as a sign of the girls blossoming maturity. He approved. She reached back and unclipped the bra and discarded it then lay back and smiled at him. She was proudly showing him the increased size of her burgeoning breasts. They were perfect. Just about a handful each and he lightly fondled them with his hands. The little nipples began rising hard under his palms. The nipples were like little thimbles with nice pink aureole about the size of a nickel. He kissed and nuzzled each one in turn and she groaned. He moved one hand down and into the waistband of the panties, dipping into her crotch and deftly speared a finger between her lips and slid it slowly back and forth. She was moist and she groaned as his finger slid over her clitoris. She parted her legs further and he worked a second finger into her. Her hand that was nearest the bed edge moved across and he felt her hand grope his crotch. He decided the clothes he wore were a distraction so he pulled off her, leaving her puzzled and confused, and quickly began to strip. Soon he was standing beside her with his erect cock jutting out hard from his body towards her. She raised herself up off the bed and kneeling before him, took it in her hand, and slid her mouth over it and started to suck him with slow exquisite swirling of her tongue as she jacked him with her hand. She slurped and groaned her satisfaction at holding his erection in her mouth with the girth spreading her lips. She never allowed more than the head to go in her mouth, having been repelled by the length on occasions when he had pushed too deep and made her gag. She learned to control him while ensuring maximum sensation by working the head with her tongue. He reached down and stroked and played with her breasts as she crouched before him standing by the bed. Her small breasts felt firm and tight and he enjoyed the firmness and the feel of the hard little nipples that signaled her arousal. He was getting close and he placed a hand on her head to steady and control the build up to the inevitable. She recognized the signal and started to work his cock with the hand as she swirled her tongue faster and harder over his sensitive head. She was preparing herself for the rush of semen that soon would flood her mouth and Stephen smiled as he saw her eyes flick up to read his face to help her anticipate the eventual ejaculation. She had learned well. He slowly started to move his hips towards her and she soon picked up his rhythm and they worked expertly in practiced unison. It didn�t take long before he cried out and the first flood of cum spewed from his cock and she breathed hard through her nose; her hand wrapped tight around his shaft holding him to prevent his pushing deep in uncontrolled passion. He emptied himself into her mouth as she gulped every drop down her throat, with the head lodged inside her lips. He gasped and struggled to regulate his breathing and looked down as she swirled her tongue around the head of the cock. She looked up at him with a smile on her lips. She was enjoying the power she held over him. He ran a hand through the beautiful fine hair and urged her to stand and then eased her back onto the bed and pushed her legs apart and zeroed in on her pink, slightly-parted labia. He slid his tongue between her sex lips and she let out an involuntary gasp at the shock of the tongue gliding up the slit and pressing at the clitoris. She moaned and her hands came down to his head and she steadied it, directing it with gentle pressure by her hands. He slid a finger into her and she flinched as she felt the intrusion. She moaned as he insinuated a second finger into her, stretching the tightness of the dewy opening. Stephen slowly tongued her and gradually worked his fingers further into her until the webbing of the fingers was hard up against her with his remaining fingers bent flat against her body as he strained to penetrate her as deep as he could. All the while he tongued her as he began to slowly finger fuck her. She started to lubricate and loosen and he was rewarded by slipping a third finger in beside the other two. Poppy was now moaning steadily and moving her lower hips and buttocks around the bed. Stephen tried to hold her still but with his fingers pumping in and out of her he lost any purchase at keeping her crotch still. He could feel how wet she had become and he lightly stroked her anus with his pinkie; the only finger remaining outside her vagina, along with the thumb. He drooled in lust at contemplating the lascivious feel of her anal walls and the made saliva run down her slit and across his finger, onto her pucker. When he gauged he had enough spittle on her rose he insinuated the pinkie slowly past the tight little sphincter and it finally pushed through and buried to the second knuckle alongside the other fingers deep in her vagina. This way he held her almost like one would hold a bowling ball and he was able to keep her nether regions still as he worked her rhythmically with mouth and fingers while pressing hard against her clitoris with his tongue. She went ape and suddenly began convulsing in orgasm as she bucked and squirmed, as if to repel the invading fingers, but then jerking back at them to ensure they once more lodged deep in her cavities. Stephen was conscious of her moaning and gasping and he could feel her pulse strong against his pinky; with the tight anal ring clamped tight as the contractions rushed through her body. She was gasping and her chest heaved. He looked up and saw she had been twirling her nipples with her fingers and her head was pushed right back so he could see the underside of her jaw and chin. She was in a state of sexual euphoria as she groaned her pleasure at the hand and tongue still slowly bringing her down. He was half crouching over her, off the bed with his feet pushed out from the bed as he steadied himself against the edge with the free hand which wasn�t engaged in the masturbation. He eased himself closer over her outspread legs over the edge of the bed and slowly dragged his frame up and in towards her. He was careful not to allow his full weight to crush her fragile figure. His cock was rock hard, despite the earlier ejaculation into her welcome mouth, and he slowly stooped by bending his knees and leaned in towards her He eased between her thighs until his cock nudged her labia beside the fingers buried in her cunt. Stephen deftly withdrew the fingers and she gasped at the loss of the invading digits that had stretched her open. He looked down at her sex gaping with a pronounced dark hole between the lips; reddened from the stretching of the fingers. He engaged the head of his cock and with one shove, pushed as far into her as he could. She yelped as he quickly buried himself so he struck her cervix. Her hands quickly came to his shoulders and she pushed him back as if to make him disengage an inch or two. But lust had overtaken him and he simply fucked her as deep and as hard as he was able to. He lost control and he was only partially aware she was complaining at the discomfort his rutting cock was causing her. He was spurred on when she attempted to skid up the bed to remove some of the depth of penetration and he grabbed her legs and threw them over his forearms and this way he held her with his upper body pressing down, splaying her wide and he fucked hard. Reaching under her, he slid the middle finger of one hand into the anus again; deep to the second knuckle, and she moaned. This was bigger and longer than the pinkie had been, and he could feel his cock through the thin wall between rectum and vagina. Stephen didn�t last long despite his earlier release. He came with a cry and buried deep, his finger pushing deep into her asshole, parallel to the stiff cock which was hard inside her vagina. She was gasping loudly and he realized she was actually pushing back hard. She was gasping �oh God� in a ragged voice. And he realized his little girl had crossed over into the realm of loving this rough sex. He obliged by slamming her with the final few spurts as he came inside her sweet cunt, and finally collapsed on top of her, utterly spent. They lay like this for what seemed ages and finally she moved under him as he was restricting her breathing with his weight. He reared up and looked at her. She smiled weakly and he kissed her hungrily. In truth his libido was shot for the meantime but she was so beautiful he wanted to eat her up. The finger was still lodged deep in her anal cavity but his cock had slipped back as it deflated. Despite its size, she had taken him stoically as her young vagina had been stretched in preparation by his fingers. He felt wet and knew she must be dribbling cum out of her vagina, now the cock was not sealing the opening with its earlier thickness. He glanced at his watch and he was astonished to discover nearly an hour had gone by since she had arrived back at the house. A short pang of panic went through him as he realized her mother may be well on her way back. Then he relaxed, realizing the round trip would be more like two hours, not one, given the business she had to conclude with her husband. He straightened up and knelt between her legs, looking down at her frail form. There was a definite wet pool on the sheet between her legs and he saw the glistening semen at the back of her slit; and a smear down the inside of her butt crack, just to the side of her puckered anus. She lay watching him and he was puzzled by the look on her face. She was regarding him almost as one regards an interesting stranger. �You were rough,� Poppy said quietly. Stephen blushed in embarrassment. �I�m sorry Poppy. So sorry,� he stammered. He was scared she was about to reproach him further but instead she placed her fingers over his lips. �No�don�t be sorry. This was more real. You really wanted me,� she whispered almost inaudibly. He wasn�t sure if that�s what his behavior truly represented. It was pure carnal lust with little regard for her feelings or comfort. He had shagged her, as the English say in the vernacular. �It was exciting. I came again. Did you feel me cum again?� she said almost in amazement at what she had experienced. �Yes. Yes I did my love,� he said. He was relieved at her acceptance of his undue roughness. There was definitely another sexual boundary to explore with this young girl. He eased off the bed and walked into the bathroom and stood in front of the bowl and a strong stream of amber piss flowed into the clear water, turning it golden in color. She had joined him and she stood beside him and her hand came down and held the cock. She steered it with her hand, tracing patterns with the stream of urine as it hit the water in the bowl. He watched her fascination at his taking a piss. Eventually the stream dried up and only a few drops remained on the eye of the cock head. To his astonishment she bowed her head and laved his cock head with her mouth. She had no fear of the fact he recently had urine on it. She grinned and then nudged him aside. He stepped back as she dropped the toilet seat and promptly plopped down on it. To his astonishment she reached under her thighs and lifting her legs up and apart, she leaned back against the tank and looked at him with a grin as she in turn began to empty her bladder. He had never seen a woman piss up close. Oh sure he had been close when Jessie relieved herself but it was always in a demure, legs closed position. And of course he had seen a few pissing clips on porn sites. But this was the first time of seeing the stream coming from the outward nubbin of the female urethra and he was fascinated as she leaned back and looked down her body watching the piss hit the underside of the inside of the bowl. He was half aroused by the sight. Surprised it had in fact stirred a response. But he was physically incapable of anything more than a warm half hard response which he quickly concealed by walking to the basin and turned on the faucet. She finished her piss and they stood side by side and passed a soft wash cloth between each other and carried out basic ablutions. Since the first time he had had sex with her, he had encouraged her to sponge herself clean after relieving her bladder. Jessie always did and said it was to clean her urinary tract so as to avoid urinary infections. He never really understood the physiological reasons but he had always thought it was sound advice. And particularly since he had invaded Poppy�s anus with his fingers and then had touched her sex he wanted her to clean herself with the warm soapy water absorbed by the cloth. To make sure there was no contamination of her tender vagina with the traces of feces on his fingers. They returned to the bedroom and dressed. There was no more time for another bout of sex as Terri would be well on her way back by now. It was far too risky. They actually did go through the samples of Christmas decorations and he selected a generous value of the goodies he knew he would never use. GOOD NEIGHBORS Terri eventually arrived around 3:30pm. She was flushed and breathless, having rushed over to Stephen�s house after parking her car in the garage. She fluffed and flustered and congratulated him on a �splendid choice� when Poppy triumphantly showed her the range of decorations and lights he had selected. �The agreement is she helps me hang them,� he chuckled. �But of course Stephen. Poppy would only be too happy to help,� Terri gushed. Poppy grinned. She and Stephen both knew that their plan for Terri�s approval of contact between them was going well. Terri and Poppy left just after 4:00pm. They waved goodbye from the front gate as he stood and watched them trudge off into the cool late afternoon. Winter was well on the way. Before they left Terri had made a casual remark about �more contact between us� now that she was a real friend and neighbor. �You never know when I might want the help of a man,� she laughed but looked him in the eye as she said it. Was he mistaken? Was there some double entendre in what she had said? Of course he was gallant and confirmed his readiness and willingness to help with anything that might need �a man�s touch�. Once again there was a pregnant stare between them as he responded to her repartee. Poppy looked decidedly uncomfortable. Stephen was sure she was thinking much the same way he was thinking, regarding her mother�s intentions. Maybe he was wrong, but Terri�s rapid increase in her approval rating of him was curious and exciting. He closed the door and went upstairs and stood and looked at the disheveled bed and realized it needed changing. There was a large wet patch where his cum had leaked from Poppy. He removed the sheets to the laundry, but remade the bed later; before he climbed into it at just after 10:00pm. He was literally fucked! If Stephen was curious as to how or when he might make some progress with Terri, he was surprised to see how quickly the opportunity arose. She appeared on his doorstep the following Wednesday night with a colorful paper bag with silk rope handles on the side, clutched in her hand. She had on similar attire to what she had worn last visit. She had on the same leather coat only this time she wore a cream beanie and scarf; the scarf contrasting against the black leather of the coat once it was opened. Underneath she wore a tight off-white polo sweater that showed the fullness of her breasts. She had on a pair of designer jeans and he caught the pronounced vee and gentle swell of her pubis. She had a little pot tummy. After all she was over forty and he guessed the fact she had had Poppy would ensure she had the little pot of motherhood many woman are destined to hold forever. But she was very attractive and down right sexy. And she knew it. As he took her coat and hung it up, she took a bottle of scotch and a bottle of wine from the paper sack. �I could use some company and then I wondered if you could to,� she beamed. �I hope you like whiskey,� she added, handing him the round canister. �Poppy�s staying in Manhattan tonight with Grant, so I was at a bit of a lose end,� she volunteered as he inspected the gift she had handed him. It was a bottle of eighteen year old Glenfiddich single malt whiskey; near the top end quality and worthy as a wee dram of an evening, as the Scots say. Jessie loved scotch neat. He started with a little water, or occasionally ice and she had chided him for ruining the pureness of the Highland nectar. He had grown to take it neat with the steady tuition of his lovely late wife. �My word this is marvelous,� he chuckled. �You�re a mind reader Terri,� he added, pouring on the delight, more than necessary. She laughed and without invitation headed into the lounge, towards the bar he had in one corner. She had taken a bottle of red wine out of the bag and placed it on the bar top; dropping the now empty bag in the trash can behind the bar. �A cork screw�� she said, as she started looking for one. She found the lever type cork screw he had nestled amongst other bar tending accessories in a pewter beer tankard beside the small sink in the relief under the actual bar top. He took a large wine glass from the rack where it hung by the stem and handed it to her. She began busily winding the screw into the cork which she had exposed by scraping the foil with her rather strong red painted thumbnail. He had a small pocket knife he used to rim the top of the foil but she removed it in a trice and he was impressed that her nail wasn�t thin and flimsy despite its apparent length. He took the plug out of the top of the whiskey canister and removed the near triangular bottle. He twisted the top, breaking the seal, and unscrewed it off. He sniffed the strong sickly smell of the liquid it contained and then reached behind the bar and opened the cupboard and took out a scotch glass and poured a full two fingers. She was standing with her glass full of wine, waiting for him to pour himself the scotch, and once he had finished she raised her glass to his and they touched them together. �Here�s to many hours of friendship she said,� and looked him in the eyes as she toasted the both of them. They drank from their respective glasses and this toast set the evening on its way. Stephen had no idea what her real reason for coming over could have been, if it wasn�t for sex. There was no excuse or rationale offered, and the bottle of scotch was clearly a way to break the ice for Terri. They adjourned to the couch and fell into small talk which saw them grow easier and friendlier as they laughed and chatted about their lives, marriages, loves, and opinions on many things. They never always agreed but agreed to disagree in a respectful good natured way without judgment on the other. And as the alcohol flowed, they loosened up to a point where Stephen could not exactly place the moment when they realized they were about to kiss. But they kissed and after the initial contact of their lips, they kissed tentatively for a few seconds before they both realized they were clutching desperately at each other as he wrested her sweater over her head and she worked frantically at his belt with one hand while allowing him to draw the arm of her sweater over each hand in turn. She wore no bra but had on a teddy with a lace bodice. Her generous breasts pushed out and it was little effort to push the top of the garment down exposing the dark erect nipples. They were magnificent. And he drew each one into his mouth in turn. She groaned as he laved her aureole and nipped the large nubbins lightly between his teeth; just enough to make her aware of the discomfort without the all out pain of a bite. She loved it. She had her hand inside his gaping flies and he was delighted as she gasped �my God� under her breath when she wrapped her fingers around the now erect cock. She pushed his head away from her breast to get a look at what she held. He sat upright and allowed her to lean forward and scrutinize the shaft she held in her hands. He could tell she was more than impressed with what she held. She gave a nervous chuckle and looked at him. �It�s huge,� she said breathlessly. �A horse cock if I ever saw one,� she added. Stephen had never regarded it as a horse cock in porno parlance but he had always known he was blessed with a larger than average penis. Little did Terri know it had rent open her pubescent daughter�s vagina and anus. Poppy could take it, albeit with care and difficulty. He was astonished at how quickly Terri took control. She quickly stood and in a trice had removed her jeans. She stood with the loose fitting teddy hanging from the thin straps over her shoulders. Without a word she pushed him back against the back of the sofa and wrenched his pants and shorts off. He was sitting with only his polo shirt on and his cock jutting up between his legs, and she maneuvered herself astride him; and without hesitation, drew the leg of the teddy to one side and grasped his cock and guided it to her sex lips. He felt the shock of her warmth as she impaled herself and with on long groan and a �yes-s-s-s� she slowly absorbed the entire length into her body as she lowered herself across his thighs. She wrapped her arms around his neck, locking her fingers at the nape of his neck and looked him in the eye, and she proceeded to fuck for them both. She worked him expertly while always ensuring she gained maximum sensation by crushing her pubis against the base of his cock. He worked her breasts and nipples as if he was tuning the dial of an old radio and she hissed and groaned her enjoyment. This was not one of his favored positions as he liked control. But this woman fucked him so expertly he simply reclined against the sofa back and took her warmth and wetness until she worked them both to a short sharp climax. Stephen thrusting up at her as best he could, given her weight pinning him to the sofa base And Terri in turn literally grinding her hooded clitoris into his pubis as she hissed and came in a low wail. He gasped and grunted and shot his cum into her with short rapid jerks of his pinned hips. Eventually she fell against his shoulder and lay with her head against him, looking down at the junction of their bodies. He remained hard and she slowly raised her head and faced him close and leaned and kissed him. The whole ten minutes preceding had occurred without any real sense of foreplay. In her mind he had a big cock. She wanted it in her. He obliged, though he didn�t have much choice in the matter. Not that he was complaining. But the kiss was warm and she worked her tongue into his mouth and he enjoyed it very much. He let her continue to make the play. She had come here for this. He didn�t know why but she wanted to fuck him. Or maybe she just wanted a fuck and he was the nearest cock at hand. She eventually pulled herself up on shaky legs and she looked down as she drew herself up and off his still hard cock. She stood with her undergarment now somewhat stretched in one leg and a dark patch where his semen had wetted the fabric. The legs were loose fit and had bands of lace. He could not see any evidence of her pubic hair inside the thin silk and he later learned to his delight, that she was shaved. He wondered if Terri knew Poppy was shaven also. He had persuaded Poppy to let him shave her as he wanted her as he first remembered her when she was twelve. Terri dropped to her knees and took him in her mouth. He wasn�t near being able to cum again but he had stayed erect. He watched fascinated as if he was in a porn movie. Terri was slowly attempting to take as much of his cock down her throat as she could accommodate. He was fascinated at just how much she was able to absorb. Occasionally she would start to shake and he could tell she was on the verge of gagging; maybe even puking. Then she would rear back and gasp for air, only to launch another assault and seemingly gain another half inch. She gurgled and gagged and coughed and he was astonished at the thickness and abundance of the saliva she was generating as she attempted to deep throat him. Finally she surrendered and collapsed back onto her butt on the floor with an arm propping her up as she leaned back slightly and wiped her mouth. She worked her jaw and mouth as if to reset it from the stretching she had forced upon it to accommodate the cock. �You beat me,� she croaked. �I couldn�t take it.� He raised his eyebrows quizzically. �I�ve never met a cock I couldn�t force down my throat until the pubes were pressed into my face,� she volunteered. Stephen just sat and stared at her, somewhat nonplussed. �You�re shocked at me, she said almost ruefully. �You must think I�m a real slut,� she added dejectedly. He stayed silent; smiling at her candor and slowly shaking his head in disbelief at what she had tried to do. She slowly got to her feet and somewhat disconsolately looked around for her clothes. He realized she thought he was offended and the shake of the head was a negative reaction to her deep throating him, so he jumped to his feet quickly as she was about to stoop to pick up her jeans. He grabbed her and pushed a hand up the leg of the teddy and went straight to her sex. It was then he realised she was shaved. He was easily able to slip three fingers into her. She was wet and gooey from his cum and her own libido. He held her this way by her cunt and kissed her. When they finally broke the kiss she looked at him somewhat puzzled at the intensity of his approach and penetrating her with his strong fingers. �You can do whatever you like when you like,� he growled in a low tone. �As long as we can fuck our stupid brains out some more,� he continued. She beamed and clung to him as he worked her with his gripping hand. He could feel her responding to the ministrations and his cock was bumping against her thigh. �Take me upstairs and fuck me stupid then,� she gasped. And he did. He took her twice before fatigue caught up on them. The first time he rimmed her on her hands and knees and she came with a long wail as he buried his tongue in her tight asshole while I reamed her cunt with his fingers. She sagged to lie flat and he mounted her from behind and slow fucked her, eventually lifting her hips up so he could kneel behind her and watch as his cock sawed in and out of her sloppy hole. He looked down at the brown anus and as he fucked her he pushed the middle finger into her asshole. Just like he had done to her daughter when he had sucked her off. But Terri�s anus was loose and forgiving and warm and wet from his rimming so that he got a second finger in and loosened her more. She knew to late what was coming and groaned �no, not that�, no, Stephen�� as he slowly pushed his cock head into her ass. She gasped and groaned loudly at the discomfort then sighed in resignation as the cock breached the sphincter and he slid as far in as she would let him before the pain became too unbearable and she pushed against his lower stomach with her palm in an attempt to restrict his entry. He stayed at this depth and buggered her slowly while dragging his fingers across her clitoris. Rather than continue resisting she got into it by reaching up and plying her breast and nipples. She came hard and loud a third time and he emptied himself deep into her rectum. Eventually she sagged to the bed and he slowly withdrew as she winced and whimpered at the cock pulling past her sphincter once more. She let out a loud long farting noise and he heard her groan into the pillow; a sort of groan of disgust at her own lack of control. Not that she could have helped it as he had buggered her deep and hard, filling her with air. They slept for a while and eventually he was woken as she crouched over him sucking him hard. No worry to her that his cock was smeared with the mucus and funk of her rectum. She simply deep throated him hard and pulled him over her and into her. He lifted her legs up over his shoulders and he fucked her quick and hard. It lasted all of about five minutes before they were both gasping and groaning as they both orgasmed and he dropped her legs off his shoulders and collapsed on her. They were both fucked; literally. They slipped into a deep doze once again and he was eventually roused out of his slumber when he heard the toilet flushing. He was lying on his stomach and lifted his head to see her walking naked from the bathroom. She looked magnificent. He was taken by her nude sex and could clearly see the redness of her sex lips. Red from the punishment they had inflicted on them together. He took the cue and dragged himself off the bed and grinned as he passed her on the way to the bathroom. He stood and emptied his bladder. The toilet cistern still hissing its refill after she had flushed the bowl. He traipsed back to bed and crawled in beside her. She made no move to engage him so he lay on his side facing her but not touching her at all. He studied her as she lay beside him with an arm under her head. He could see she was in a moment of reflecting on something. TERRI'S CONFESSION �What are you thinking about?� he said quietly. She didn�t move but lay staring at the ceiling. �Nothing and everything,� she said evenly. Stephen figured she is having regrets. �Like what?� he continued probing. This time she turned and glanced at him before returning her stare to the ceiling. �Oh, you know? Life and all the what-ifs and why� she said rather cryptically. �For instance?� he pressed further for an answer to her apparent melancholy. �Well marriage and divorce for one thing,� she said evenly. �How did it happen?� he asked gently. �It�s quite simple really. I�m unfaithful. I always have been. I like men. I like sex. I cheated on him before we were married and within two months of our wedding I was at it again.� She turned to gauge his reaction. He stared impassive to her words. She continued. �Ever since I can recall I was always trying to make men notice me. Even as a little girl. Nothing ever came of it but as I got older I quickly learned about the difference between men and women and by the time I was thirteen I was obsessed with wanting to see and touch a man�s cock. I was well into masturbation on myself by this time so I knew there was a parallel world that men inhabited with regard to their desires and craving of women. I tapped into it when I was fourteen,� she added and turned and looked at him. She had spoken slowly; in a considered manner, yet quite deliberately. He raised his eyebrows as an acknowledgment, just to show her some respect that he was more than interested in her confession. She seemed content that he was hanging on every word so she continued. �He was a high school sophomore. Nothing special really. Our families were friends and it happened on a camping trip. I can�t really even remember much except how disappointed I was. So I moved on and by the time I was twenty I�d lost count of the boys and men I�d had sex with. Mostly unsatisfactory sex and I realized I was a slut with not a lot more to offer than a quick fuck or blowjob. So I cleaned up my act and had the good fortune to have an affair with the husband of a coworker at a company that I did some intern work for in summer break.� She turned and looked at him. �Does that sound weird? Saying it was good fortune to have an affair with someone else�s husband,� she asked. Stephen was a little confused at the reason for her question. She continued. �Of course it ended in tears when she found out but he was the first man to actually make love to me and I enjoyed it immensely. I learned a lot about myself and sex. I could always cum at will by masturbating but he was the first to demonstrate any patience and mutual pleasure. After him I seemed to suddenly strike men who were good at making love and my natural carnal disposition suddenly got a huge lift with genuine sexual pleasure.� She paused and he watched her as she was obviously thinking of someone or some occasion as if to illustrate her words in her own mind. She realized she had fallen silent and quickly glanced at him to see if he was still interested in listening to her confessions. �I graduated and met Grant. He was rather conservative at sex so I taught him what I liked and fooled myself into believing he was the perfect man. We went together four years before we finally married. By then I was more into our careers which we both had some success with and so the realization he was really rather boring sexually was offset by his being a really good provider. But I was already sleeping around again and there were always men ready to take up my offer of no-strings sex. But by the time Poppy was born, I already knew Grant and I were more of a commercial partnership than a marriage� she sighed rather ruefully. �Of course it was only a matter of time before he caught me cheating. He thought it was my first affair but in reality it was about my third or fourth indiscretion. The reality of screwing too close to the circle of friends,� she added looking at him as if to emphasize a learning moment. �And this was the reason for the separation?� he asked. �Oh hell no,� she snorted. �No way. Of course I cried and begged forgiveness and promised it was a one-off weakness. And he did forgive me and after behaving for a few months, I quietly found another lover. Several more affairs over a period of about three and a half years and then finally this latest episode he found out about was the last straw for him.� She paused once more and stared at the ceiling. Then she turned to Stephen and gave a small laugh. �Grant was right in suspecting I was once again having an affair,� she began. �But in fact the irony of the suspicion was he had the fact right but he had my lover totally wrong.� Stephen stared at her considering what she was saying. �So you were having an affair with someone other than who he accused you of being with?� he paraphrased. �Yes,� she said simply. �Then why did you go along with the accusations if he thought it was someone other than who it was?� he asked somewhat surprised. She drew her hands to her face and touched the fingers of each hand together over her mouth as if she was about to pray. She considered the question carefully before answering. �Well in substance he was right about my infidelity,� and she paused before continuing. �But in content he was wrong, and because I was terrified he would identify my real lover, I never contested the accusations,� she said softly. �Why?� Stephen asked bluntly. She turned and looked at him. �Because it was a woman,� she said and studied his face for a reaction. He held his face impassive but in reality he felt his heartbeat quicken at this revelation. The thought of two women together always intrigued him and here he was about to hear the lesbian confession of this woman lying next to him; that he had fucked three times this evening. He stared at her and simply raised his eyebrows as an acknowledgment. �Surprised?� she asked studying his face. He considered his answer. �Not surprised at the thought of female homosexuality,� he said in a measured response. �But intrigued about you and how you came to be involved with a woman, given your confessed love of men,� he concluded. Her face clouded quickly and she scowled at him. �Homosexuality?� she blurted out in an exasperated tone. �Really Stephen. Get modern. Hardly anybody ever refers to it as homosexuality any more. It�s either gay for men or lesbian for women. And I�m neither homosexual nor a lesbian,� she scoffed at him. He blanched at her chiding his rather old fashioned response to her revelation of all-female sex. �I�m sorry Terri,� he answered softly. �I had no intention to offend you. Certainly not to judge you by labels or tags,� he continued in attempt to change her obvious annoyance with his words. She held his gaze and he guessed that after seeing the sincerity in his face she dropped her eyes and turned her head and once again lay looking out in front of her as before. �As I said,� she started quietly. �I�m not a lesbian. Far from it. And apart from a few adolescent fumbles with friends when we pretended to be kissing boys when kissing each other, I�ve never much thought about a relationship with a woman. If there is a label or tag as you put it, I�m basically heterosexual through and through. I have been from that moment I lost my virginity when I was fourteen. But the realization I was falling for another woman excited me and I guess I became the moth to the flame,� she continued quietly. Stephen remained silent, listening intently as she had become very quiet in her speech. She glanced round at him to ensure he was still listening, and she turned her face upwards once more. Looking at the ceiling; only this time she drew her arms behind her head on the pillow. �Go on Terri, I�m listening,� he said quietly; eager to hear more... �She managed one of the fabric companies I used as a supplier. She was a year or two younger than me. She was elegant and very attractive. We hit it off right away while working on a series of penthouse suites we were refurbishing at an hotel in Manhattan. We met regularly to review the design and once we started the fit out, we met often on the job. Naturally we lunched together and on a number of occasions we had an after work drink and supper. Somewhere in this business relationship I caught myself admiring her femininity. Looking at her as a woman, not just as a female colleague. Before I knew it I had admitted to myself I had developed a crush on her. Well I told myself it was a crush. After all, I couldn�t be attracted to another woman in an intimate sense. Being as my track record had been numerous affairs with men.� She fell silent. Then turned and looked at him. �Does that shock you?� she asked. �What?� he queried. He wasn�t sure what she felt was shocking. �My having had numerous affairs,� she explained. �I suppose it surprises me, rather than shocks me. But how would I know when I hardly know you let alone know your past,� he answered. �And I don�t think you are a slut as you described yourself earlier. Not for a second do I think that. It certainly doesn�t show outwardly that you enjoy frequent partners. You come across as a very elegant married woman,� he said somewhat cautiously so as not to appear patronizing. Her facer softened and she smiled wanly. �Thank you Stephen,� she said softly. �That makes me feel a lot better. Perhaps I�m just overly promiscuous. I do try and take care not to fall into affairs. But it hasn�t seemed to have slowed any as I have gotten older� she said somewhat ruefully. �Like I said, I�ve always liked men; well sex and men to be more precise,� she continued. �I shudder to think of some of the relationships and situations I got myself into.� She studied his face, trying to read what his real thoughts were but she couldn�t tell from his impassive stare. �You know it seems the bad experiences in my life are identified by bad sexual choices. And with the good experiences the sex was just the icing on the cake. So overall my sexual decision-making hasn�t been that wonderful. Did I mention I had an abortion at eighteen?� It was more a statement than a question. He shook his head. �I had an STD in my first year at college and then the infidelity before and after marriage to Grant,� she continued ruefully. �But I�ve had better experiences with men since being married than before I was married,� she chuckled at the irony of her situation. �And an affair with a woman was really just another dimension to your sexuality then?� Stephen suggested as a question. She looked at him and considered his meaning. �I�m not so sure it was a conscious attempt to try something sexually different. I simply felt very attracted to her. I know I�m not bisexual any more than I am a lesbian so I learned that there is a capacity to feel very strongly for anyone irrespective of gender. That�s what I realize now at least,� she explained. �But on balance, this was one of my bad choices,� she said ruefully. �Now I am surprised to hear that,� he said quickly. She had turned on her side and leaned on her elbow facing him with her hand propping her head up off the pillow. �Oh it was exciting; a deliciously exciting situation to feel myself being drawn into. But it all turned to tears quickly enough,� she continued. �Go on,� he encouraged her. �Well I realized at the end of it all that she was actually seducing me. I mean I made all of the play to meet her whenever I could and she went along with it. And one day when we were reviewing the work in one of the suites we had worked on, it was all I could do to stop from touching her breasts or her hair; anywhere as long as it was contact. She had on a soft woolen cream trouser suit that fit her quite tightly. I could see she wasn�t wearing a brassiere and also in certain positions when she stood, her, you know, her sex was very pronounced in the pants.� Terri reddened slightly when as described her lover�s prominent mons. �It just overwhelmed me.� �So what happened?� he asked gently, feeling excited by the tale. �I don�t know how it really happened. It was all a blur. One minute we were holding swatches of curtain material together against the wall and next thing I was holding her and crushing her to me and kissing her.� At this point she fell silent and stared at a spot on the bed between our bodies. I noticed she was constantly rubbing her fingers of her free hand together as a nervous reaction to the situation she was obviously reliving. �Of course she was the lesbian. I never knew. And once I had made the pass at her, she expertly turned the situation around and took the lead. I was wrapped up in all that she did and she taught me all she needed me to know. She simply pushed me against the wall and before I knew it she had my trousers and panties around my ankles and was giving the most exquisite oral sex. I came within a matter of a few minutes. And there she had me. She had let me pursue her until she caught me.� Stephen remained silent as she played with the sheet with her fingers. Staring vacantly at her hand. Eventually he broke the silence. �So how did it end in tears?� he asked quietly. She considered his question and then looked at him. �I was the tease,� she said simply. �It turns out she had had a long term lesbian partner and they were both on time-out following some difficulties they were having. She confessed she was a lesbian about the third time we were at her apartment together. I was a bit taken aback by this, as she never once made any attempt to tell me or even hint it to me when we first met and became friends. I did think it was a bit strange she was so secretive but by now I was infatuated with her and the sex was great. She played me so expertly and taught me how to give as well as receive. I was starting to believe I could cross over and be in a perfect all-women relationship.� She paused briefly but then continued. He sensed the confession was actually releasing long pent up emotions of having to be secretive about her affair. �I kept telling myself I was not a lesbian. I was still having normal sex with Grant, although it was largely perfunctory and unexciting. But as usual I didn�t want him to suspect I was getting my pleasures elsewhere.� She looked at Stephen as if to emphasize what she was saying. �Despite the numerous affairs I had when Grant and I were married, I was always able to be discrete. I doubt if Grant ever really knew for sure, though there were at least the two occasions when he asked me point blank if I was having an affair. I had denied it of course and at least once I was able to convince him I was telling the truth. The other time, as I said, I admitted it. Those two times I stopped the affair and played the dutiful repentant wife.� Stephen stared at her, considering the story in the context of these past few hours with him. He was juts another player to her; a conquest. A role reversal of the male Lothario or lounge lizard. �Anyway, Carol, that was her name, introduced me to a couple of the more discrete lesbian circles in Manhattan and of course her partner just happened to be on the fringe of both. It was a skilful way on Carol�s part to let the word out she had a new partner so it would get back to her former lover. It worked and the next I knew, was turning up at her apartment as a surprise one weekend and finding the other woman there. I was invited in and the partner effectively advised me my relationship with Carol was over. Carol said nothing. She barely looked at me. I was gutted and felt so betrayed. Well of course I tried to hold my own against this woman, attempting to incite Carol to support us both, but she just ignored my attempts and eventually I realized I had been used. I felt so stupid.� �And that as they say, was all she wrote,� he said ruefully on her behalf. She grimaced and nodded agreement at his glib summation. �All she wrote,� she parroted him. �And all the while Grant had noticed somehow you were maybe preoccupied and concluded you were having an affair with some guy?� he queried, trying to fill in the blanks. �Exactly. He had me paired off with a guy with whom I actually had an affair with a year earlier. A guy who moved in our social circles. I suspect someone muttered something about us as old news and he took it as new news and there it started. He accused me of it and I tried to deny it. But he had noted all the various unexplained absences and lies I had built up while meeting Carol, that I didn�t want him digging any further. I was conscious what the revelation of an affair with a woman may have on my relationship with Poppy. But the real truth was that I was chastened by being used by Carol and I had already decided that I was no longer in love with Grant. So I went along with it as the route of least resistance to being free. My business was running further into debt and Grant had already refused to get more investment to bail me out so I decided to cut and run,� she said finally. �Virtually on every level.� She stared at Stephen and there were tears in her eyes. �So there you have it. The one time I lost control of my emotions over an affair, a lover, I got dumped. And ironically as it turns out, Grant was having an affair with this woman he now lives with; this Marcia. And I knew nothing about it. So he also used the situation to paint me as the villain and filed for divorce on my supposed infidelity. And of course Marcia was then brought out into the daylight as a new post-separation girlfriend.� Stephen eased up and reached for her. She allowed him to embrace her and he held her and stroked her hair. Their bodies were pressed together and after he had held her for a minute or so, she moved and looked down between the. He was hard and the erection was pressing against her thigh. She looked up at him and pressed her leg against his cock. She sniffed and wiped her eyes then grinned. �Did my tale turn you on?� she said chuckled softly. �I had a mental picture of Carol going down on you,� he said with a chuckle. She stared into his eyes, as if searching for something. �Forget the foreplay,� she said huskily. �Fuck me.� She rolled onto her back and spread her legs. He ran a hand between her legs and found she was wet. He slid his fingers into her and she groaned and arched her back. She coaxed him across her prone body and as he transferred his weight from off of his side to his hands either side of her shoulders she took his cock and guided him into her. He pushed into her and she sighed and almost as a reflex drew her knees up either side of his hips and he eased back with both hands under her hips and started to thrust strongly into her. In short they fucked like they had been starved of sex for years. It was pure animal lust fuelled by the story she had just finished telling. They didn�t last long and soon she was crying out in orgasm. He looked at her face with her eyes tight shut and yet there were tears streaming from the corners of her lids. Her mouth was open gasping for air as she cried and sobbed as the orgasm wracked her body. Stephen picked up the effort and exploded into her, slamming her back into the mattress. She clung to him with her arms and her legs were linked around his back as they crashed through the orgasm, and at last he collapsed onto her body. He was panting hard and she was sobbing quietly. It was as much from the pleasure as from the emotional release of the pain she had been bottling up inside for some weeks; perhaps months or years. They lay for some time. Not asleep, not fully awake. Eventually she moved and he saw she was squinting at her watch. She realized it was nearly daybreak and she tapped him on the shoulder. �I�d best be going,� she said softly. �I want to get home before the prying eyes of the street see me,� she added referring to Alice Jessop. He looked at her thoughtfully. �Is that so bad,� he asked quietly. �Yes. Yes it is Stephen. I didn�t mean to offend,� she said quietly. �But I�m going through a divorce and the last thing I want is to be linked romantically with anyone. I need to stay single and focused on Poppy and her wellbeing.� He wasn�t offended at all at the suggestion she could not let it be known she was spending time with him. But he wanted her to rationalize how she saw this relationship. In reality, it was Poppy he coveted. Not her mother. There would be no long-term involvement here. This really was somewhat accidental on both their parts. Aided and abetted by her confessed promiscuity. �I�d best get going,� she said and with that she got out of bed and disappeared into the bathroom. Stephen lay back with his hands behind his head and reflected on the last five weeks. He had bedded both Terri and Poppy. Despite Terri�s trust in confessing her sexual history, they both knew without saying that this was not a relationship destined to prosper. The best he wanted was her friendship and trust to permit him to have access to Poppy without her suspecting he was having sex with the young teen. The added complication of disclosing an affair with Terri would not go down well with Poppy. So this relationship had reached fruition as far as he was concerned. It was now important for him to let Terri end it as she saw appropriate. And remain friends and good neighbors. Terri interrupted his thoughts when she came back into the room. She dressed quickly and soon stood at the bedside. She leaned over and kissed him. �You really ruffed up my tender bits,� she said with a grin. �Had you ever had anal sex before?� he asked out of curiosity. She grinned wryly. �I told you I had had a lot of partners. You�re not the first to go that route�and I actually quite like it. With all due care of course. Maybe we should have used proper lubrication�� she said grinning at him. He nodded his agreement at the lubrication suggestion. She had been tight. Saliva was not the best lubricant. She dressed quickly and he watched her from the bed. Finally she was finished dressing and looked at him. �Bye Stephen. I can let myself out,� she offered. He nodded his acceptance of her suggestion. �Bye Terri,� he said and squeezed her hand. She looked at his softening cock and grinned and poked her tongue out wickedly. �Keep him safe,� she whispered, and blowing a kiss in the direction of his cock, she whirled and left the room. She let herself out; He did not hear the front door close. Lazily he reached and switched the lamp off, and pulling the sheet up over his body, he drifted off to sleep. *** Terri and Stephen had several clandestine rendezvous after that night. The issue of redecorating the upstairs rooms of Stephen�s house surfaced a couple of times but he managed to defer the discussion to a point where the topic dropped off the radar. Despite the unspoken acknowledgment that this was a relationship marked to end, she visited him on at least a dozen other occasions. Mostly when Poppy was on sleepover with her father. Sometimes it was through the week, and sometimes at weekends. Stephen was becoming more and more restless about the intermittent nature of his contact with Poppy. But instead of becoming sexually frustrated at the lack of regular contact with the pretty teen, he was getting well looked after by her mother. That�s not to say Poppy and Stephen were never together, but it was unpredictable and spasmodic. Terri usually prompted the times they had together by asking him to look after Poppy on occasions, due to some reason or other to go into Manhattan. Thanksgiving had come and gone and Stephen spent it with his son Andy and his family in San Diego. Then Poppy and Terri had turned up late November with the Christmas decorations he had ordered. They started to help him decorate the living areas downstairs, and part way through Terri asked if she could leave to undertake an urgent errand in Manhattan. Of course he agreed like a shot and she had barely left the house when he and Poppy was frantically pulling their clothes off. He took her on the floor in the lounge, with her legs up over his shoulders. They fucked like crazy people and after they had both blown their minds with a frantic orgasm, they quickly trooped upstairs and engaged in a slower more deliberate bout of deep sex. He took her on her hands and knees for a while then she rolled him over and straddled him. He fingered her clitoris as she sat on his cock and she went through the O-barrier again. He held her body pressed against him and slowly worked her buttocks as he slow-fucked her as she lay on him. He massaged her butt crack and slowly but surely insinuated a finger into her anus. She got the hint and she rolled off of him and onto her stomach. He placed a cushion under her hips and then knelt and rimmed her. She gasped and moaned as his tongue slid over her anus. Occasionally he slid one, sometimes two fingers into her tight hole. As if to prompt him she stretched a hand towards the nightstand in search of the lube she knew he kept there. She stretched her arm and retrieved it and handed it back to him. Stephen carefully greased her anus and then applied the lube to his cock and he slid slowly and carefully into her rectum. He slow fucked her to a mind-blowing ejaculation, and she rubbed herself to orgasm with a hand jammed between her clitoris and the cushion she lay on. They lay spent for at least half an hour and finally he coaxed her off the bed and they cleaned each other up in the bathroom. His cock smelled of her funk from her rectum and she had smears of semen down the inside of her slim thighs. As always she walked gingerly after being sodomized, but she now genuinely enjoyed the act. Fearing Terri would return and catch them they quickly made the bed and scampered downstairs to complete the hanging of the Christmas decorations. Terri returned some time after her promised time of seven o�clock and she cobbled together a meal from the contents of Stephen�s freezer and the three of them ate as if they were a family. Terri took Poppy home about nine forty-five that night. The decorations completed. CAROL AND TERRI The decorations were a waste of time as Stephen spent Christmas and New Years with his other son Gary and his family in Colorado. He returned January third and waited expectantly for the next contact with the two lovers from next door. But it was to be nearer the end of January before he saw either of them and it was Terri whom he met first. She called him late one Saturday afternoon and asked would he like to come over for a drink at about seven thirty. He was anticipating the potential of maybe fucking Terri at some point. Although in reality she always visited him the times they had sex. Stephen wondered if he was invited to her house because Poppy would be there and Terri couldn�t leave her. But on arrival he was surprised to find Terri and another woman there to greet him. Terri introduced the other woman as Carol. Stephen never placed the woman when Terri introduced them and he was a little lost as both women stood, obviously looking for recognition on his part. To Stephen, Carol was equally as striking as Terri. Not beautiful but certainly attractive, perhaps in her late thirties. She was about five nine with short, cropped blond hair. She wore a tight fitting white tank top that showed small breasts but pronounced nipples pushing against the material and she obviously wasn�t wearing a bra. She had on a pair of faded-just-right denim jeans that he always associated with �the beautiful people�; the obviously affluent types who were always dressed appropriately for any occasion. She wore a dark Napa leather waistcoat which looked a size to small so the lapels hung just right so you could see most, but not all, of the swell of the sides of her breasts. Her clothes looked expensive yet simple. He noted there was no jewelery of any kind on her person and this struck him as odd given the air of wealth she exuded. Not the smallest of earrings or rings or anything. He wasn�t to know her rings were in more intimate places; hidden from all but her lovers. He stood staring vacantly at her as he shook her hand in greeting; trying to place her as they expected he should. Finally Terri gave him a hint. �Stephen this is Carol,� she said emphasizing the word �Carol� with her eyes as if he should know. �Carol�you know�whom I told you about,� she almost pleaded for his recognition of the name. Stephen stood gazing at the woman�s hazel eyes that had narrowed a little as if she felt he was being deliberately ignorant. �Um, look I�m sorry Carol, Terri, but I�m totally blank,� he stammered, still holding Carol�s hand limply. �Carol I told you about. You know, that Grant mistook for a man�� Terri continued tentatively. Carol sighed in exasperation. As much at ghis blank stare as to the obvious in her mind, of the pussy-footing around to full disclosure that Terri was making, due to some embarrassment on her part. �Oh for God�s sake Terri,� she flustered. She turned to Stephen still gripping his hand. �I�m the Dyke who was fucking Terri when her husband thought it was a man she was with,� she said bluntly. �Who �IS� fucking Terri,� she corrected herself pointedly. Terri went scarlet and suppressed a gasp at her lover�s blunt appraisal of their situation. It hit him like a truck. �Of course. Terri said her lover�s name was Carol.� He had completely forgotten. �Oh. Of course�I recall now. Terri told me about you,� he said half apologetically for his lack of recognition. �It�s just that it was in the past tense; some weeks back now,� he said, recalling Terri�s story that first day they had sex. �And Terri has told me about you,� Carol said quickly. �Everything in fact, so that sort of makes us even on disclosures,� she added. He turned and looked warily at Terri then back to Carol. �Yes, I suppose it does. If there�s a count to be kept,� he said cautiously, watching for a reaction from Terri. She simply beamed. �I hope you two can get on,� she said brightly. There�s no need for any embarrassment on either part. I�ve literally enjoyed every minute I have spent with both of you,� she continued. �Embarrassment? No of course not,� he answered quickly. �You knew Carol before we spent time together.� �And it�s not like you have a serious relationship to protect,� Carol added quickly, not giving him any opportunity to add to his statement. The reference to Stephen and Terri�s relationship was spoken as if it was past tense. He looked at Terri and back at Carol who chose the moment to drop his hand she was still holding. He could see a challenge in the younger woman�s face. Warning him off trying to make more of his relationship with Terri than she obviously thought warranted. He looked at Terri for confirmation one way or another. He got it. �Stephen and I have always known we were just seeking comfort with each other. Good no-strings sex and companionship,� she said evenly. �Wasn�t it Stephen?� He had little option but to agree. It was what Terri wanted him to say and Carol expected it as well. �Well that�s one way to describe it,� he chuckled lightly Carol regarded him with suspicion. He could see she was wary of him. �I threaten her,� he thought to himself. He sensed Carol�s subtle hostility towards him. �Well now we�ve broken the ice, Stephen you must have a drink. What will it be?� Terri asked in an attempt to change the subject. �I�ll have a scotch thanks�straight no ice please,� he answered and turned and followed Terri to the drinks cabinet. Stephen could feel Carol watching them. Terri poured a generous single malt scotch she knew that he liked and she had bought a bottle of Glenfiddich especially for him; for this occasion when she eventually gave him the kiss-off. They all turned and formed a loose triangle, facing each other. �Here�s to good friends," he said and raised his glass and gulped the Scotch. �Good friends,� the two women echoed. He noted Terri was effusive in her toast whereas Carol�s words were barely audible. The rest of the evening was affable enough. They talked about everything but nothing in particular. Stephen didn�t warm to Carol, or she to him. But they were perfunctory enough. If Terri was seeking a bosom threesome, it wasn�t going to happen. At about nine-thirty Carol suddenly turned to Terri. �Terri darling I think it�s time we were getting back into the city,� she said evenly. Terri looked a little flustered at her lover�s obvious attempt to curtail the evening. Stephen was grateful of Carol�s suggestion and took her lead and jumped in to the proposal. �Actually I�ve got to get going now anyway,� he said quickly. �I promised my son I�d call him this evening. Their three hours behind us so I want to get him before he starts his dinner,� he lied. Terri knew he was sandbagging and she also picked her lover�s desire to get him out of the remainder of their evening. She nodded weakly at both of them; not able to contest their comments without unnecessarily attempting to prolong the evening which was clearly finished. �Of course, if you must get away Stephen�� she said unconvincingly. They all managed a polite winding up of the evening and Stephen bid them farewell and left. As he trudged home, coat pulled against the cold January night, he felt somewhat drained. Carol was a hard bitch. Worst of all he hadn�t seen Poppy nor even fucked her mother which he had reasoned was the worst that might happen. This liaison with Terri had obviously ended. But where did that leave him with Poppy? He sat in his chair at home and recounted the evening. Clearly Terri had ended the relationship as clinically as she could without the possibility of upsetting him. In reality he was almost relieved, but he was concerned about her relationship with Carol who he believed had used Terri, and then dumped her before. He wondered how she had won Terri back in what was really only a couple of months since their previous split. Something obviously happened over the Christmas and New Years holidays when he was away. Seemingly Carol was back, bigger and bolder. The two had alluded to setting up house together and he was more than surprised at the apparent speed to apparent commitment, than the renewal of the relationship itself. But he was also concerned about Poppy. He picked that if these two moved into together, it would most likely mean Terri and Poppy moving away. He had a strong intuition that Carol was a Downtown Girl and not destined for the suburbs. It would mean another school for Poppy; the third in six months. And he would lose her. He couldn�t contemplate that and it grieved him it was a probability. But on the other hand, he also knew that Poppy and he could not continue forever. As she grew older she would no doubt come to question what she had done. Maybe develop concern at what he had done. He was the responsible party in the relationship. If it ever became known, perhaps through regret and remorse leading to disclosure on her part, she would be comforted and consoled as the abused. On the other hand, he would be reviled and jailed as the abuser. He could never change the fact of the matter nor guarantee her silence forever. He just had to hope and let her realize the affair must end in her own time, without any repercussions against him. So they could remain friends, and their affair hopefully enters into her rites of passage to maturity as an adult however unnatural it was. Stephen always knew that eventually he would have to let her go sooner rather than later. Having Carol appear on the scene was a threat he could not quantify but he did not like it one bit. She was someone he could not trust. But what could he do? *** The situation resolved itself. Terri turned up on Stephen�s doorstep one evening with a sad look on her face. He ushered her in and she quickly embraced him before breaking and looking at him with a mixture of sadness and concern. �What�s wrong Terri?� he asked concerned at her demeanor. �Poppy and I are leaving,� she said quietly. He stared at her and said nothing. It was a shock yet not unexpected. But still the words hit him cold. �We�Grant and I, are selling the house and he will set Poppy and me up with an apartment in town. Grant has agreed Poppy can return to St. Mary�s as we�ll set the proceeds from the house sale, well most of it, into a trust account for Poppy�s education. And Grant can see her more regularly as well. And Grant is keen for his partner Marcia and Poppy to develop a relationship.� Stephen nodded his understanding but said nothing. �You�re wondering about Carol and me, aren�t you?� she asked quietly. �Yes I was wondering what the gain was for you two,� he answered evenly. She looked a little troubled but seemed to take a deep breath and then told him what they had decided. But the preamble was quite startling. �You know that night I introduced you to Carol, when I said that Grant would never buy into me and Carol living together with Poppy?� she started. He nodded his recollection. In fact he knew it well as it had troubled him since meeting Carol. �Well the reason is that Carol has some unfortunate history. You see Carol was once a high school teacher. She�d always known she was a lesbian but had managed to hide it successfully. However she was foolish enough to develop a sexual relationship with an underage girl at a school she taught at. In short she seduced the girl and they had a long term affair that eventually was discovered during the girl�s senior year. She was fired and struck off the teaching register. She has a record and served home detention for her sentence. For some reason the fact that the girl was nearer eighteen than fourteen counted in her favor. It never came out that the relationship had started when the girl was younger. Carol was twenty six at the time it was discovered. The girl announced undying support for Carol and she got off lightly. And the state law did not have a lot of teeth for same sex so-called abuse of minors over fifteen. The law is much tougher now. So given that history and the record, Grant could easily find out and most certainly object to her having domestic contact with Poppy.� She stood with her hands nervously clasped together as she told him the tale of Carol�s indiscretion. It struck Stephen that on some level he and Carol�s situation were mirrored. Only Stephen had not been caught with Poppy�yet. �So what does that actually mean for you?� he asked. �Carol and I will simply date. She can stay with me or vice versa, when Poppy stays with Grant. He�s a lot closer in Manhattan so it�s much easier to share midweek, which we can�t do at the present. Our strategy is to really establish ourselves quietly over time until we can reveal the situation later; come out as they say. And I feel better going through a proper courtship as it were, because this is all very much new territory for me; particularly given the first aborted experience with Carol. I need to be sure. So much change for me; new partner and new sexuality to contend with.� She paused and studied his face for reaction to this new strategy with Carol. He remained silent, so feeling he had no opinion, Terri continued. �Carol and I eventually hope to demonstrate we are a proper couple deserving of a normal domestic life and the respect that goes with it. Maybe we can aspire to have Poppy as a part of our life as well; with Grant�s consent of course. It is Grant we have to convince. And we feel we can do that in time. Poppy can learn the truth and hopefully accept it. That time is not right now. At least if I can have a life after Grant and Poppy can go back to normality, then that�s all that counts� she added. �What makes you think it will be any more normal in Manhattan than here with Poppy on your own?� he said candidly. �Actually you�re right. It won�t be. I�ll still be a solo mother there as here. But I at least can attempt to put some normalcy around her with more regular contact from Grant, and I can have a career again. She won�t board at St. Mary�s but be a day pupil so she�ll be at home with either me, or Grant and Marcia week nights. Grant is in full agreement. Actually he�s quite excited about. So there you have it. I felt I owed you an explanation one to one.� �You seem sure the relationship with Carol is a certainty,� he said in a questioning way. She smiled at his veiled skepticism. �I know what you think. She�s the dominant Dyke. I�m the subordinate femme. That�s Dyke-speak by the way,� she chuckled. �Actually the gender roles are quite the reverse. I�m the dominant one and she�s more the wife, so we�ve discovered.� Stephen raised his eyebrows skeptically at these words. She laughed at his expression. �It�s true Stephen. Really it is. It�s surprised us both, I can tell you,� she laughed. �But I do know this. She makes me happy. Much happier than I previously had in a relationship with men.� She blanched at her words. �I�m sorry Stephen. I didn�t mean to imply our relationship did not bring me anything. It did�but more comfort and excellent sexual release than real happiness. I hope you understand.� He nodded and grinned. She continued. �At first it bothered me that Carol would be full of lesbian politics and the strident anti-male �all me are pigs� mentality. But in reality she is just as insecure as anyone else and longs for happiness and contentment just as you and I do. It just happens it has occurred with me, and she with me. I can accept that easily.� He nodded his understanding. �I truly hope you will be happy and that it works out,� he said and meant it despite his misgivings about carol. THE LAST RITES OF PASSION Eventually the day came when the house sold and Terri confirmed their departure date late in March. Stephen was dreading saying goodbye to Poppy. They were able to have a number of opportunities to spend time and make love as Terri spent more time in Manhattan with Carol; sorting out bits and pieces in preparation for the move. Poppy would come over and they would go upstairs together. But as the time approached, they made love less and spent time just holding each other and she often wept quietly at the inevitability of their affair ending. He saw Grant come and go next door a couple of times but never spoke to him. And then the removal truck arrived and they were gone. He hasn�t seen Poppy since. The last time she visited him, they had fully expected her to return at least once or twice more for the inevitable painful goodbye. He wasn�t sure what intervened but she never returned. Perhaps that was best. The painful farewell never eventuated. On one occasion he was so desperate to remind himself of her beautiful vivacious figure that he went into Manhattan and waited near her school. The pupils came and went near where he was standing, but no Poppy. He felt wretched and also somewhat self conscious hanging around an all-girls school. He must have looked more than a little suspicious. It took many weeks to get past the pining for her touch and the feel of her young body against his. He contemplated seeking out another juvenile affair and even loitered at the local mall several times secretly eying young girls and one or two young boys. But it was half hearted and on reflection he embarrassed himself thinking on what he was doing. Terri and Poppy were replaced in the house next door by a younger couple with infant children. Bobby and Jennifer Marsh. Bobby is an aspiring lawyer and Stephen hit it off with Bobby. And he saw shades of Jessie and him in Bobby and Jennifer�s marriage, at this stage in life; as an aspiring young couple. He had met them as the dutiful neighbor, and as first impressions go, it was a better meeting than that which he had had with Grant and Terri those four years earlier. What�s more Alice Jessop approved. Things were looking up if she approved. Stephen lapsed back to celibacy now that Poppy was gone, and as he sits by his pool in mid-July, looking at his granddaughter Sophie swimming in the pool he finds himself straining to catch the sight of the soft round form of her mound, or the swell of her preteen breasts which are just budding, in her sized to-large bathing suit. His son Andy is visiting with his family for a few weeks. Sophie is not as pretty as Poppy and her mother has an eye for her modesty, even around family. Her swim suit is old fashioned and a little baggy around the crotch. And when Sophie leaves the pool for any length of time, she pulls a simple beach top over her bathing suit, which comes down mid-thigh. But he has seen enough of her budding form to be mentally planning his next overseas trip. He may go back to Southern Thailand, or maybe go to Mexico. Wherever it will be, it is because of the dark desperate craving he feels in his loins, for the tight pubescent warmth of a willing girl or boy. A craving he cannot handle despite his maturity and social conditioning all his previous life. He�s hooked on youth�and he loves it. His carnal infatuation is extremely dangerous�but there is nothing he can do to erase it from his being. The End � 2005 Romany. Protected by copyright law.
