Au Pair Girl

PART ONE. Jean

1

The early morning air, lightly scented with apple blossom from the nearby orchards, wafted pleasantly through the open window. A mild spring breeze was blowing from the Surrey Downs and it caught the upper branches and leaves of an overhanging pear tree, making them slither softly at the pane The ripening foliage brushed and tapped against the glass, creating a rustling murmur in the room.

The girl stirred languidly, stretching herself reluctantly into wakefulness. As her arms lifted, the single pink sheet which covered her fell away from her breasts. The cool air played on the bare white globes, raising goose-pimples on the delicate skin.

She opened her eyes slowly, blinking at the bright morning light which now flooded into the room. Her nipples felt itchy and large: the sudden change in temperature had caused them to harden instinctively and stiffen into a tight rosiness. The girl smiled to herself, her hands slipping over her breasts and giving them a brief but possessive fondling.

She sighed, wishing for a moment that she could snuggle down in the bed again and let her fingers roam dreamily over her body… But in a few moments she knew the alarm would begin to shrill and it would be time to dress and prepare breakfast.

Monique released her breasts regretfully and threw the sheet back. She jumped quickly out of the warm bed and snatched up her robe. Tying it tightly around her waist so that the shot-silk garment clung sveltely to her curves, the girl crossed to the window.

She breathed the crisp, clean air gratefully, drawing it deeply into her lungs, feeling the fumes of sleep being quickly banished. She looked out across the green English countryside — at the chequer board of ploughed fields alternating with the neat squares of distant meadows. The view was comforting; it gave her a strong feeling of serenity and peace, assuring her that spring would always return, that the renewal of life was constant and permanent, and that her own youth and beauty were eternal.

Monique pushed the window open a little wider. The sky was light blue, a few fluffy clouds scudded lazily overhead. Cattle grazed on the verdant grass and a cock started to crow, heralding the new day loudly and boastfully. The girl stood at the window for several minutes, lost in sweet contemplation of the tranquil landscape which stretched as far as the eye could see.

She had repeated this ritual daily since the first morning she'd arrived at the Camerons' house, but it never failed to fill her with renewed delight and pleasure. Regularly, she awoke before her alarm sounded and spent these few precious minutes staring out at the panoramic expanse of countryside.

It seemed to still the frequent pangs of homesickness which overwhelmed her whenever she was alone in the house. Not that these periods of loneliness lasted very long: Jean Cameron was in the house with her nearly all day and even when the couple went out in the evenings she had the television and radio to keep her company.

But early in the mornings and at night when she went to her room, Monique would feel a sharp yearning to be with her own relations again and to breathe the air of her beloved France. When this longing became so intense that it threatened to overwhelm her completely, she would stand before this open window and stare out at the rural scenery which was so reminiscent of her provincial home town.

The view served not only to remind her of France. It enabled her to slip into a sweet reverie in which she pretended to herself that this really was France — that she was home again, speaking her own language, once more living among her own people…

Monique smiled at the way she dramatised the situation. It was a bit melodramatic to have feelings like this — especially as she'd only been in England for three weeks! And in another three weeks she would be going home anyway!

Still, this vacation was her very first trip abroad and, after all, she was only 18 and a rather sensitive, imaginative girl. Although the Camerons had done everything possible to make her feel at home, Monique was glad that she was kept busy during most of the day. The household chores helped to occupy her mind and stop her thoughts from straying towards her loneliness — the loneliness which gnawed just below the surface of her mind.

She jumped, jolted out of her day-dreaming by the sharp, insistent jangling of the alarm clock. Quickly, Monique switched it off and started to make her bed. In a few moments the sheet was tucked in and the eiderdown was smoothed neatly over it.

Monique opened the door softly (Mr. and Mrs. Cameron wouldn't be awake for another fifteen minutes) and tip-toed to the bathroom down the hall. She turned the key in the lock, ran the water and washed her hands and face. While her bath was filling, she brushed her teeth, having to wipe the mirror free of the steam which was rapidly spreading over the glass.

She hung her robe on the hook behind the door, pausing before she stepped into the bath to admire the shapeliness of her young body. The reflection was half-obscured by the rising steam, but this only served to enhance the lovely vision: Monique's figure was blurred and partly concealed, shadowy and mysterious under its blanket of condensed air.

The girl stretched up on her toes, just able to see the dark patch of hair around her crotch in the half-length mirror. Impulsively, Monique gave the glass a thorough wipe then stepped back again. She could now see herself clearly — though the mirror was beginning to cloud over already.

Her nipples were still taut and ripe, thrusting from the centre of her breasts with a hard, pearllike prominence. Monique touched them lightly, rubbing the sensitive buttons with the tips of her fingers.

They tingled sweetly, stiffening into an even firmer and harder rigidity. Dreamily, the girl passed her hands beneath her breasts, raising the white mounds and keeping her fingertips on her nipples. She rolled them slightly, letting her fingers press into the soft and supple flesh.

Gradually, the steam rose to obscure the mirror again and Monique moved away from it. She climbed into the bath and let the hot water cover her body completely, sinking down until the caressing warmth lapped around her neck. Before she soaped herself, Monique liked to spend a few moments luxuriating in the sensuous feel of the water around her. She opened her legs, letting the suds envelop her sex — feeling the scented water steal between the parted lips of her cunt and seep into her body.

Her chin resting on the surface of the water, Monique returned her hands to her breasts. They felt even softer and smoother beneath the warm water, the flesh delicate and gentle. She stroked and fondled them with careful movements of her fingers, giving her breasts only the lightest of touches — only the most tender of caresses.

The girl's eyes closed in a sweet ecstasy as she felt how tremendously large her nipples had grown. As if she was exploring teats that were strangers to her fingers, Monique cautiously squeezed the buds between her thumbs and forefingers. She increased the pressure very gradually, slowly nipping the hard buds until a sensation of pleasant pain began to spread out from her breasts, enveloping her entire body in a sweet but urgent delight.

Her eyes opened a little and she looked down at herself, at the clever way in which her hands were bringing her pleasure. They seemed to be the strangers now — massaging fingers which belonged to a daring and extremely bold girl who had climbed into the bath with her and was, completely against her will, playing expertly with her breasts and nipples.

Powerless to intervene, Monique watched helplessly as her titties were turned this way and that; lifted almost out of the water so that the nipples were clearly visible, then modestly lowered beneath the surface again. She saw them being pressed firmly together, the warm globes rubbing fleshily against each other. She felt her nipples perking up under the ceaseless touching of the clever fingers, itching furiously now… begging to be released — yet longing for the caress to continue…

She could feel her eyes growing hot and misty. They were clouding with desire. Her mouth felt dry and she could hear her breath coming in long, excited gasps.

Monique rubbed her hand down over one breast and let it slide deliciously down her stomach until her fingers touched the tight curl of pubic hair. The growth was soft and silky, the strands floating upwards as the hot water swirled gently around it. The girl fondled the hard rise of her veneris, reaching her middle finger down the velvet slit until it slipped easily into the precious sex itself.

Scarcely aware of what she was doing, Monique began to work the finger deeply into the heart of her quim, pushing it urgently into the pink wet hole until it was buried completely. Her forefinger teased the folds of flesh as widely open as possible, then searched for the stiff button of her clitoris.

The sensitive red clitty felt incredibly sexy to her touch. Monique fought to control her breathing as she started to wiggle her finger around and around the well-concealed bud, flicking it from side to side with her fingernail.

Her hips writhed, grinding slowly beneath the steaming water. She began to frig herself more quickly now as her desire mounted and the tickling sensation in her loins quickened.

The water lapped into her open-lipped cunt, bubbling hotly as Monique fastened her finger all the way inside her sex and forced it in and out of the maddeningly tight hole. She forced herself to keep her eyes open so that she could see her breast being punished by her other hand. The fingers squeezed almost brutally into the resilient dumpling, clenching the white orb into unusual and provocative shapes.

And all the time the cheeky forefinger twiddled at her red nipple — tormenting the poor, sweet bud with a ceaseless backwards and forwards movement across the inflamed and sorely treated rosebud.

Almost before Monique realised that it was upon her, she started to come. Helplessly, feeling herself slipping into a frenzy of furious lust, the girl released her spunk into the water — merging her frothy white juices with the suds. Her body arced upwards out of the bath, straining tensely as she fought to sustain her climax for as long as possible.

Sobbing, she drove her finger ruthlessly up and down the narrow channel of her cunt — spluttering as her mouth went under the water. She threshed wildly, throwing her hands out to grip the sides of the bath.

The spell was broken instantly: her desire left her as quickly as it had come, leaving the girl feeling unrelieved and frustrated. She dragged herself out of the bath and buried her face in a towel, a mixture of guilt and anger forcing the tears to flow unchecked down her cheeks.

She hated herself. She felt dirty and unclean; like a schoolgirl masturbating behind her parents' back. What had possessed her to touch herself like that? Monique had never before allowed her emotions to get the better of her — she had never, never played with her sex in so open and blatant a fashion. Not in broad daylight, not watching herself like that…

At night, curled up in bed with the lights out and her eyes shut tight, she had secretly slipped her fingers between her legs and given herself a little pleasure. But to lie in the bath and…

Monique shivered with self-reproach. Caressing her body was one thing. Merely running her hands over herself to admire the feel of her skin and the shapeliness of her curves… that was very pleasant and was certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Every girl did that… of course they did!

But what she had just done to herself was very different. Monique suddenly remembered that when she had woken up this morning with the cool breeze playing on her nude breasts she had felt the desire to do things to herself. The impulse had been easily dismissed — or so she had imagined. But with the feel of the warm water all around her body, its liquid heat soothing and caressing her…

Monique let the towel drop to the floor. No, she told herself sharply. It's not just that you touched yourself — that's not making you feel like this. She recalled, forced herself to recall, that she had pretended another girl had been fondling her in the bath. And it was this fantasy which had disturbed her so much.

She had played a private game with herself. A game which involved the imagined presence of someone else. Someone of her own sex. Like an electric shock the insight jolted through her entire being — forcing her to acknowledge a desire which she wanted to keep hidden.

Another girl… It was impossible now for her to suppress the image. Her body ached with longing for the gentle hands and fingers of a soft-fleshed female to caress her into a dreamy state of bliss. To coax her lovingly into a merging of naked bodies, breasts pushing against breasts…

Monique realised that she was trembling from head to toe. Her body was glistening with water from the bath and the quivering was causing droplets to trickle teasingly down the valley between her breasts and tickle like gentle fingertips down the inside of her thighs. She shivered again.

Monique: the innocent, the virginal Monique. The girl who had scarcely explored her own body let alone allowed her charms to be touched by other hands. Monique: whose sexual awakening, long delayed, was now blossoming — making her ripe for new experiences.

She let her eyes travel with a new wonderment over her nudity, over the firm swell of her thighs; over the flat whiteness of her tummy, at the sleek curve of her hips. The body which no lover had yet known…

She began to dry herself, rubbing the towel quickly over her moist skin until it tingled and glowed a healthy pink. Deliberately, Monique forced herself to concentrate all her attention on the act of towelling her body. She refused to dwell any longer on the sexual implications of her experience. There was work to be done; Jean and Michael would be up by now and their breakfast had to be prepared.

Monique slipped into her robe again and cleaned the bath. Her heart still pounded and she could feel her pulse racing wildly. She knew that no matter how hard she tried to control her feelings, they could never again be completely repressed. Always, with every reminder of her beautiful young body — every time she felt her breasts thrusting outwards (as she did now, at this very moment, nipples brushing against the material of her robe) — Monique would feel again the glorious excitement when she had imagined another girl holding her breasts possessively and teasing her nipples into erectness.

And she knew, too, though she tried desperately to hide the knowledge from herself, that she could never again be completely innocent. Although the seeds of desire had taken a long time to flower, they were now too vibrant to be ignored. Somehow, Monique thought with a thrill of pleasure, somehow she would make her fantasy a reality. Only then would she be able to rid herself of the lingering self-disgust and shame. By bringing her secret longings out into the open and facing them without fear and remorse she could exorcise them.

Monique closed the bathroom door behind her and went back to her bedroom to dress.

Downstairs, Jean Cameron stared at the empty place on the bed beside her. Michael hadn't returned all night and she felt that familiar sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach that told her he had been with another woman.

There was no proof, of course. He was far too considerate and clever for that. There would be no tell-tale hairs on his collar, no smudges of lipstick. And he would be kind and considerate to her for a few days; their relationship would, on the surface, be closer and warmer and he would talk to her more frequently.

But then, slowly and almost imperceptibly, his attitude towards her would change. He would start to find fault with everything she did, then withdraw completely into himself — ignoring her completely and making any form of contact between them impossible.

One day he would announce that he was leaving on a business trip and she wouldn't see him for a few days. And on his return, obviously to drown out the voice of guilt and conscience, Michael would once again act out the role of a tender, loving husband.

The pattern had been established for over a year. Jean had searched herself desperately to find a clue to the cause of their marriage breakdown but was still unable to understand what had really happened to them. She couldn't even pinpoint the exact time when they had begun to drift apart.

Michael rarely made love to her now, and on the infrequent occasions when they had sex it seemed to her an impersonal, almost clinical exercise — as if he was merely using her body to relieve himself… although Jean could see that he was inwardly suffering from their cold and remote relationship, Michael refused to discuss the subject with her. He would grow angry and almost violent if she tried to draw him out on the reason for his behaviour. They had reached an impasse. And if it hadn't been for Cathy, Jean felt that she would have left him long ago. To their daughter, Michael was always affectionate and warm; it was obviously something which she, Jean, had done which had caused their present situation. But she could never discover what…

The tension generated by their estrangement was growing more and more intolerable. If only Michael would talk to her!

Jean pulled herself out of her contemplation and got up. As she moved towards the wardrobe to choose a dress, she realised with a start that this time Michael hadn't even told her he was going away. She bit her lip quickly, feeling the familiar tears springing to her eyes.

This was a new development — he evidently did not intend to inform her of his comings and goings. She wasn't considered that important any more!

Fighting back the helpless crying which was threatening to engulf her, Jean pulled the wardrobe door open and dragged a dress off its hanger. She threw it onto a chair and was about to shut the door again when she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the full length mirror.

Her hand dropped to her side and she stood quite still, staring at the woman who was facing her. She was amazed at the attractiveness which confronted her: the waist-length black hair which Michael had loved so much was untidy and rather dishevelled, but it seemed to add to her beauty rather than detract from it.

The shoulder straps of her nightdress had fallen away and the swellings of her large breasts would have been completely visible if it hadn't been for the shimmering cascade of hair which streamed across her bosom. Through the tresses, however, she could plainly see the tips of her ruby nipples — poking through the silky hair as if they were determined not to be hidden.

Jean ran her eyes slowly down the rest of her body, unable to move an inch; fascinated by the sexiness which she saw in the mirror. It had been so long, so very, very long since she'd examined her figure so carefully. Now she saw the fine slimness of her waist, accentuated by the tightness of her nightdress. She gazed on the shapeliness of her thighs, the slim line of her legs…

Thoughtfully, Jean turned her body so that she could admire her rear view. The thrust of her buttocks under the clinging silk of her nightie was arousing and intriguing. She put her hands on the cheeks, pressing them softly. The flesh moved easily under her touch — lifting with a firm, supple grace as Jean pensively rubbed her fingers over her bottom.

She really didn't look like a woman of 34 with a daughter aged 15, she thought proudly. Her figure was as voluptuous as ever: no sign of fat anywhere, and the flesh was soft and smooth to her hands.

Jean turned back again to face the mirror. Perhaps I should take the nightie off, she murmured. I ought to be really critical before I start to feel too pleased with myself. Let's see if I still look as good without any clothes on at all…

She pulled the bow at her waist and allowed the nightdress to rustle down her body to the floor. It fell slowly, giving her plenty of time to savour the sensation of the silk as it slithered off her flesh. Raising her feet demurely, Jean stepped out of its folds and once more returned her eyes to her reflection.

Her beautiful hair still partially covered her breasts and she shook it impatiently out of the way. As it moved off them, her breasts shook delightfully, wobbling freely in a sexy, bouncing action. Jean ran her hands up her body to encompass them, taking the orbs in her palms and raising them gently.

Preciously, she held the warm melons — though they were firm enough not to require the added support of her hands. Jean swayed her hips softly, raising her eyebrows slightly and adopting a legsapart stance. She let her fingers move up over her breasts until they released the full white globes, letting them fall back heavily into their normal position.

Then her hands travelled up her neck, lifting her hair and bunching it in a thick pile on top of her head. She pouted at herself. “You sexy bitch!” she whispered. “You sexy damned bitch!”

Although she had scarcely touched them, Jean's nipples were already thick — the tight little petals flowering quickly under the urge which had suddenly seized the woman. Jean stared at them in the mirror, deliberately shaking her shoulders so that her breasts swung slowly from side to side.

Childbirth had left them even larger than they had been before and they now measured a generous 39 inches. Jean posed brazenly for herself, adopting first a shy, demure attitude with legs pressed tightly together; then, as if weakening in response to a plea from her audience, she let her thighs open a little — just enough for the pink and prominent lips of her cunt to be glimpsed.

Warming to her performance. Jean shook her head silently and admonishingly. She bent one knee slightly, dipping her thigh so that her sex was again hidden.

“Naughty, naughty!” she teased. “I shall have to turn around if you're going to peek!” And she coyly swung herself on her heels until her back was facing the mirror. Her knees bent forward fractionally and she thrust her buttocks out, looking over her shoulder so that she could see what sort of picture she was now presenting.

Jean's bottom, cheeks snowy white and curved in a beautiful pair of fleshy hemispheres, stared out of the mirror at the woman — looking so desirable that she couldn't resist the temptation to reach around and stroke them. Her fingers moved all over the succulent cheeks, glorying in the rich creamy texture of the skin. They strayed to the base of her spine, then crept slowly down the globes again, now opening them so that the crease of her arse was brought into full view.

Craning her neck, Jean could just about glimpse the bush around her sex as it peeped from between her thighs. But try as she might, it was impossible for her to see the cunt itself from this angle. Sighing, she straightened up and let her hands slide around her hips until they covered her abdomen.

She crossed her fingers modestly, intertwining them so that they hid the cluster of tightly-knit hairs around her crotch. Then, a pretty sigh escaping her lips, Jean very, very slowly turned back to face the mirror.

Her fingers were pressing quite firmly into her cunt-lips and the proximity of her digits to her long-neglected quim made the puffy labia pine for a closer, more intimate contact. She studied herself, keeping her eyes fastened on her loins, as her fingers gradually came away and loosened their possessive concealment of her quim.

When they were almost exposing the entrance to her sex, Jean curled them inwards so that they could take hold of the lips. She felt an immense thrill pass through her body as her fingers closed on the fat slickness of her cunt and drew the folds of protective flesh away. She allowed her thighs to open widely, stooping a little so that she had an uninterrupted view of her activities.

Gently, her fingers pulled the lips open, peeling them as far apart as possible and revealing the red wound which they normally concealed. Unable to stand any more self-teasing, Jean dipped one long feminine finger straight into the centre of the deep slit and pushed it as far as it would stretch up inside her cunt.

Her other fingers released the lips, letting them snap back into place around her fully buried digit. Straightening up into an erect position. Jean met her own eyes in the mirror and stared into them defiantly. She began to frig herself boldly, without the slightest trace of embarrassment or shame. Her finger described a rhythmic circular action, turning around and around inside the tight hole of her cunt. It felt so sweet, so perfectly beautiful, this firm but gentle pleasuring! Not since she was in her teens had she experienced this sort of leisurely self-stimulation, but Jean found that she knew instinctively just how quickly and deeply to fondle herself.

She let her other hand hang limply at her side, fingers brushing lightly against her thigh. A faint but unmistakable sucking noise had started from between her legs and Jean increased the rhythm of her frigging, feeling her finger being anointed with that familiar hot juice…

She squashed her thighs tightly together, making the ministering finger seem even more firmly wedged inside her cunt. Her buttocks clenched and unclenched in quick, urgent spasms and — tickling as frantically as she possibly could — Jean shuddered out her orgasm; the spunky fluid pumping sweetly out of her over-eager quim and moistening the heated softness of her thighs.

She stood there, panting harshly, finger still tightly imbedded in her sex, eyes glazing over. And not until she heard the sudden gasp from the doorway and realised that Monique was standing there did Jean come back down to reality, a deep blush spreading over her face as she turned sideways to the bedroom door, her finger still crooked into her cunt…

Monique turned to go, backing out of the room in confusion, her hand at her open mouth. “Excuse me", she mumbled. “I didn't know — ”.

Jean never knew what exactly it was that compelled her to go to the girl and draw her back into the room. She acted on the spur of the moment, feeling she had to convince the au pair girl that she wasn't really ashamed of what she had been doing. But, much later, she would see a considerable ambiguity in her action — as if she decided at that precise moment to set in motion a plan which her unconscious mind had been formulating for many months…

“Please — don't go, Monique", she urged the girl. “Come in, I must talk to you”. Jean took her wrist and led Monique back into the room. She pushed the door shut and walked quickly to the chair where her dressing gown was draped. She got into it and fastened the cord around her waist.

“You mustn't go away like this, thinking all sorts of terrible things about me", she said. “I want to be frank with you, Monique. I couldn't bear you to feel embarrassed for the rest of your stay — so let's be sensible and grown-up about what you saw me doing”.

The French girl was staring down at the floor, unable to meet Jean's eyes. “I was playing with myself — there's nothing so very terrible about that, is there?” Monique was silent. “It's a perfectly normal, natural thing to do, you know”.

Jean smiled, surprised at the cool way she was dealing with the situation. “Why on earth should either of us be ashamed or disgusted? I'm sure every girl — and every boy, too, come to that — has done such things. And if someone walks in and sees them doing it: well, so what?”

Monique still didn't reply. She stood there, nervously twisting her fingers, looking uncomfortable and disconcerted. Her short, almost boyish, blonde hair was cropped in an urchin cut, her slim young figure lissome in a form-hugging grey sweater and pleated skirt. She wore no make-up but her pretty face with its high cheekbones and pale blue eyes looked rouged as her colour deepened at Jean's frank conversation.

“Why don't you sit down, Monique?” Jean suggested. “Mr. Cameron is away and Cathy's school holidays don't start till the end of the week, so there's no great rush to get the housework done. And, besides, I'd like to get to know you a little better. This seems like a good opportunity, don't you think?

Rather reluctantly, Jean thought, Monique moved to a chair and sat gingerly on the very edge of he cushion. “That's better”. Jean stepped a little nearer to the girl and helped herself to a cigarette from the box on the bedside table. “You don't use these, do you?

Monique shook her head. Jean smoked in silence for a moment, then: “What do you think of us, Monique? I mean, what do you really think of us?”

The girl looked up at her in surprise. “What do you mean, Mrs. Cameron? I'm very happy here, of course — ”.

Jean wagged a finger at her. “It's Jean", she insisted. “I told you when you first came — you're to call me by my Christian name. You're not a servant, you're one of the family.” She looked at her cigarette with distaste. “These are foul first thing in the morning!” she grimaced. And stubbed it out quickly in the ashtray.

“No,” she continued. “I can't really expect you to answer that question, can I? Besides, in three weeks you hardly ever get to know people really well. Not English people, anyway”. Jean regarded Monique thoughtfully. “But I would like to know you better, my dear", she said softly. “I hardly ever meet people, apart from the neighbours — and they're so stuffy, most of them! Retired colonels or businessmen commuting to London — like Michael”.

She was conscious that she had put a faint but distinct sneer into the words “like Michael”. Monique evidently noticed it, since the girl at last looked up and met her eyes.

“Aren't you happy here, Jean?” she asked. And Jean was gratified to hear concern in the girl's voice. “I thought you had everything you wanted: a beautiful house in the country. A husband, a child”.

Jean broke in impatiently. “Oh, yes!” she cried. “I've got all the trappings of a good life — I have the house, I eat well, I have quite a few clothes… And it's all as empty as hell!”

She reached out for another cigarette and as she put it between her lips realised that her fingers were trembling. “You must have seen for yourself that Michael is hardly ever at home! To keep us in all this — ” she waved her hand contemptuously around the room — “he has to work almost round the clock. And when he could be here with us he prefers to — ”.

Jean stopped, realising that her voice was growing hysterical. She waited a moment, controlling the panic which was welling up. Softly, she finished: “He prefers to sleep with other women! He treats me like a machine, an object!”

The tears were running down her cheeks before she was aware that she'd started to cry. Jean brushed them away angrily. “I'm sorry, Monique", she said. “I shouldn't burden you with my problems — it's not fair. But I've kept this bottled up for so long…”

“It's all right, Jean'.' Monique was at her side, her arm stealing around the woman's shoulder, drawing her face against her stomach and stroking Jean's hair tenderly. “Cry — it's the best thing to do!”

When Jean's sobbing subsided, Monique gave her a handkerchief and helped her to dry her tear-stained face. “There, there", she soothed gently. “I'm sure things aren't really so bad. You're just upset, you'll see — in a moment you'll remember all the good things and the bad times will disappear…”

Jean managed a rueful smile. “I am a big baby, aren't I?” she said. “I'm sorry, Monique — I'm sorry about everything. Especially about your seeing what I was doing to myself!”

Monique shook her head. “No", she told her. “Let me tell you something that will make you smile!” Jean listened, fascinated as always by the liquid sound of Monique's French accent. “The reason I was so embarrassed was that I was doing the very same thing this morning! And I already felt so ashamed! Then I came in to wake you… It was the shock, Jean! To see you doing what I had been doing! It startled me so much!”

They both stared at each other for a moment, then burst out laughing. Jean clutched Monique around the girl's waist and giggled helplessly.

“How silly we are!” she gasped. “Oh, Monique, to think that we both had the same secret and we were both so stupidly ashamed of it!” Jean could feel the French girl's body shaking with laughter against her face. Through the thin sweater she could smell the sweetness of Monique's perfume — a subtle and fresh bouquet which blended wonderfully with the girl's feminine scent.

She drew Monique down until her ear was level with Jean's mouth. “Tell me", she whispered. “Did you enjoy touching yourself, Monique? Tell me what it was like…'

The girl stiffened slightly, then Jean felt her body relax again. “I was in the bath", she replied, lowering her voice to a husky, breathy whisper. “And suddenly I felt this desire to — to feel myself. Do you know what I mean?”

Jean nodded, keeping her lips close to Monique's ear, her face only scant inches from the French girl's.

“I pretended to myself that it was another girl who was touching me", Monique continued. Her voice was so low that Jean had to strain her ears to hear what she was saying. “I put my fingers between my thighs and…”

“Yes?” Jean felt breathless, a curious constriction in her throat as she waited for the girl to go on.

“I touched myself, very intimately", Monique whispered. “Right inside… I put my fingers right inside myself — just as you did, Jean. The hot water made me feel so sexy…

“Then, afterwards, I hated myself for being so weak and for having such awful thoughts — ”.

“Awful?” Jean murmured. “What was so awful about them?”

Monique's eyelashes fluttered nervously. “To imagine another girl touching me? Don't you think that is awful, Jean?”

“Why, no", Jean said slowly. “I don't really think so. Has it ever happened to you, Monique? Have you ever been caressed by a girl?”

“No…” Monique's voice trembled. She breathed the word out and managed to make it sound more like an invitation than a denial. “Have you, Jean?”

“Once", Jean told her. “A long time ago — at school. Why do you think it's so awful if you've never experienced it, darling?” The endearment was spoken before she realised what she was saying. And Jean knew that even if, at the start, she had only intended to tease the girl, from this moment on she was deadly serious in her flirtation. The hairs' breadth between playfulness and seduction had been crossed — perhaps without either of the girls realising it.

Before Monique could reply, Jean slipped both her hands down until they rested on the girl's buttocks. She began to rub them gently and softly, making no attempt o disguise what she was doing.

Slowly, Monique turned her face around until her breath mingled with Jeans and her eyes looked into the woman's. “What are you doing?” she whispered. “Jean — you mustn't! You mustn't!”

But Jean's hands were already lifting up the pleated skirt, twitching it steadily over the girl's thighs. Monique's legs were bare and as Jean's fingers finished their work of raising the short skirt over them she could feel the firm flesh tightening as the girl's muscles contracted in protest.

Monique put her hands on Jean's shoulders and tried to push her away. “Don't fight me, darling!” Jean begged. “Let me see if I can give you more pleasure than you gave yourself! Let me try!”

The French girl stared down into Jean's eyes, fear and desire battling for dominance within her. She began to shake her head wildly from side to side — thrusting herself backwards. But Jean kept her hands firmly on Monique's buttocks, fingers now resting on the girl's pantie-clad cheeks beneath her skirt. She pursed her lips, inclining them towards Monique's, at the same time drawing the girl downwards to her mouth.

Monique felt as if she was being swept along by a powerful current of emotion which led towards fearful rapids and whirlpools. She knew that her control was growing weaker every moment and struggled to regain some measure of will-power. Her resistance (which, she perceived dimly, might after all have been merely token) at last broke completely — and Monique gave a final cry of despair, then allowed her lips to come into sweet contact with Jean's.

The girls kissed fiercely, crushing their mouths together with a suddenly unleashed passion which surprised them both. Violently, their soft lips pressed and merged, moving constantly — rubbing against each other as Jean and Monique sought in their separate ways for their taste of private pleasure.

Monique's hands now stole around Jean's neck. Her fingers met in the woman's hair and she seized twin handfuls of the jet black tresses, forcing Jean's head even more firmly forward whilst she thrust her live, wriggling tongue between the girl's lips.

It met Jean's — and the slippery, wet tongues joined in a lascivious meeting: darting eagerly together, tasting and lapping…

Slowly, Jean raised herself up from the chair and drew Monique sideways to the bed. Still kissing, the girls fell onto the unmade sheets, arms wound tightly around each other. They pushed their bodies quickly into one another, Monique's sharp-pointed breasts sticking through the thin material of her sweater into the larger, softer orbs of Jean's bosom.

Until she had made absolutely sure that Monique was hers completely — hers to do whatever she liked with — Jean didn't dare to release the girl's mouth. She kissed the precious lips fervently, exploring Monique's teeth and gums with the tip of her tongue, while her hands busied themselves at the voluptuous spread of the girl's bottom.

She fondled the cheeks with her roaming fingers, tracing a pattern along the tight nip of Monique's panties. The briefs were extremely close-fitting — and evidently several sizes too small for the girl. They left at least half of each buttock completely bare, and swathed the remainder of Monique's firm-cheeked arse so snugly that Jean had the greatest difficulty in slipping her fingertips beneath the hem.

At last she succeeded in wiggling her fingers under the taut elastic and onto the curvy cheeks themselves. She thought with a sharp thrill how lovely her own bottom had felt and how glorious it was to be able to fondle and caress this beautiful young girl's buttocks — without the slightest fear that Monique would object. She was absolutely certain of this, because the French girl was now busily adjusting her own dressing gown, pulling it up at the back to give her access to Jean's hidden charms.

Jean waited breathlessly for Monique's hands to descend on her waiting bottom. The girl's fingers were now, at this very moment, stealing slowly up the backs of her thighs… They stroked the flesh gently, kneading it with loving caresses, gradually slipping nearer and nearer to the exciting warmth of Jean's buttocks.

Moving as unobtrusively as possible, Jean let her thighs open a fraction — giving Monique the opportunity to fondle at the intimate inner flesh of her leg if the girl wished.

Monique panted deliciously into her mouth, emitting tiny little animal moans as she worked her fingers the rest of the way up Jean's thighs. Hoping to urge the girl to a faster exploration, Jean began to dig the sexy panties down Monique's hips, peeling them like a second skin over the French girl's shapely bottom.

She got them well off the cheeks, then left them in a screwed-up bundle stretching around the tops of the girl's thighs. Her hands moved up again, now able to move without restraint over the total bareness of Monique's darling arse. Jean patted the cheeks lovingly, hearing the faint slaps of her palms against the curved white orbs with a rising excitement.

Her fingers pressed once more into the yielding softness and she started to pull the globes apart. They yielded sweetly to her demands, the muscles slackening so that Jean could open the buttocks as fully as possible. She held them wide, one hand on each cheek, unable to see the glorious secrets which her fingers were revealing, but nevertheless relishing the blatant exposure of the girl's most private parts.

And at that moment Jean felt her own arse being seized by Monique's hands. She held her breath, then kissed Monique's mouth more passionately than ever as the responsive girl opened her bottom and immediately pushed an inquiring finger against the sensitive bud of her arse!

“Oh, Monique", Jean breathed. She pulled her mouth away at last and pressed her lips against the incredibly soft skin of the girl's neck. “Oh, my darling!” she sighed. “This is bliss! Here — let me do the same to you… There!”

Jean stole her forefinger from the base of the girl's spine down into the wide, heated crease of Monique's bottom. The tip of her finger touched the unflinching orifice of her darling's anus and sweetly, gently, Jean began to push it right into the so-tiny, so-tight rear hole.

Monique imitated the action, but moved her face so that their eyes met. Staring wondrously at each other, the girls insinuated their fingers with the slowest possible of movements into their respective arses, pushing with just the right amount of pressure so that not the slightest pain or discomfort was caused to either girl.

Meeting Monique's eyes, Jean felt a sudden rush of blood to her head. The pale blue eyes seemed to commune silently with her very soul. They stared frankly and without the slightest trace of embarrassment into hers, speaking of a feminine mystery that seemed far older than the girl's extreme youth; telling of the delights of shared female flesh… reminding her of the joys she had been missing for so long…

Jean wondered if the same expression was in her own eyes. She could feel them misting over, the outlines of Monique's features blurring as she seemed to stare beyond the girl's pupils into the innermost corners of her mind.

And still their fingers pursued their passage into their most secret and forbidden regions: now curling slightly so that their nails didn't scratch too sharply against the tender raw meat…

Unable to speak, Jean mouthed the words silently: “I love you, Monique”. She saw that the girl understood, realised that the love was shining brilliantly out of her eyes and that there was not the slightest need for her to voice her emotions. They were naked and unmistakable.

Jean kissed her again, softly this time — with only the gentlest of pressure. She felt Monique's hand leave her bottom (the girl's other hand remaining on the cheeks, splayed out with her forefinger embedded tightly in her arse) and slip between their bodies to unfasten her gown.

Easily, Monique parted the garment and opened it at the centre, sliding her hand up onto Jean's right breast. The fingers closed lovingly over the heavy swell, fondling the smooth flesh in a delicate and gentle caress — holding the breast as if it were the most fragile thing in the whole world.

When they next broke their kiss, Jean saw that Monique was staring down between their bodies, watching her hand as it rubbed and turned the nestling titty.

“Let's undress completely", Monique whispered suddenly. “I want to feel your body naked against mine — pushing into me! Please, Jean — take my clothes off!”

Gingerly withdrawing her finger from Monique's anus, Jean felt the girl pulling her own finger from its snug, tight place inside her own arse. Monique lay back on the bed, stretching full-length with her arms passively at her side. Jean stared at the girl for a brief moment, drinking in the sexy disarray of Monique's clothing: the skirt hoisted up to her waist, brief white panties pulled daringly down to expose her blonde-bushed sex.

Then she knelt beside her, leaning forward so that she could reach the hook and eye which held the girl's skirt in position. She unfastened it and slid the zipper down. Monique lay with her eyes half-closed, helping Jean by raising her legs slightly so that the woman could tug the skirt off more easily; but otherwise remaining quite motionless.

Jean turned her attention to Monique's panties. She peeled them slowly down the girl's thighs, slipped the skimpy briefs over the knees and lifted them carefully off Monique's ankles — raising them and catching a glimpse of the girl's pink-lipped quim which set her heart racing.

Her hands felt moist with excitement as she moved them to the hem of Monique's sweater. She maneouvred it upwards, exposing the white flesh of the girl's midriff. Jean lifted the clinging material over the brassiere cups, and Monique raised her arms indolently to allow her to tug the garment off.

When she was naked expect for her bra, the French girl rolled lazily over onto her tummy and Jean quickly unhooked the webbed harness. With Monique still lying face down, she worked the straps over the shapely shoulders and drew the brassiere from beneath the recumbent girl.

Before Monique could turn over again, however, Jean slipped both her hands under her chest and cupped the warm young breasts between her fingers. The nipples pressed hotly into her palms, burning lustfully and stiffly. Jean's dressing gown was completely open now and as she lowered her body down onto Monique's, fitting herself firmly with her thighs pressing into the backs of the girl's legs, she made her naked breasts sink voluptuously into Monique's bare back.

She began to kiss the nape of the French girl's neck, her lips brushing wetly and insinuatingly across the downy skin. Monique began to wriggle seductively beneath her, reaching her hands around so that she could again feel Jean's buttocks.

At length, they abandoned this rather awkward, though sexy position. Monique turned to face Jean and they crushed their now naked bodies together, bare tummies rubbing, breasts squashing. Their pubic mounds met in a violent thrusting of their loins, Jean's dark hair twining with Monique's blonde and wispier strands.

The upper lips of their cunts also touched — kissing almost as passionately as the girls' other mouths, which were once more engaged in an abandoned tongueing. They started to writhe their hips against one another, their hands stealing down to each other's buttocks and relishing the unclothed nakedness of the round firm cheeks.

Monique was the first to suggest a more intimate mode of love-play. Drawing her lips slightly away from Jean's, she murmured: “Shall I show you exactly what I was doing to myself in the bath, Jean?”

“Oh, yes, Monique — please do!”

The slim French girl wriggled slightly away from Jean's body, though the latter woman could still feel the animal warmth emanating from Monique's naked skin. She again assumed a position on her back, drawing her legs tightly together so that the raised curve of her cunt mound was almost hidden from view between her thighs.

Then, while Jean watched intently, hardly daring to blink for fear of missing a single intimate movement, Monique laid her right hand gently on her belly and began to caress the flat whiteness. She petted the skin lovingly, passing her fingers right across the gently rising and falling belly and caressing herself as if she were completely alone in the room.

Jean propped herself up on an elbow and stared down at the arousing spectacle; only a few brief inches from the slowly moving fingers. Monique very gradually stroked her hand downwards until the tips of her fingers began to pluck softly at the triangle of her hair which ineffectively concealed her cunt.

Her red painted nails were crooked slightly, making them appear more and more like the sharp talons of a beast of prey. The girl started to dig them inwards at the hard muscle which formed the topmost region of her quim. At the same time, she let her thighs slide open a little, enabling her fingers to move further down and begin to coax the very tip of her cuntcrease apart.

Jean could now see quite plainly the intricate folds of inner lips. Like a speeded-up film of a precious flower bursting into full bloom, Monique's quim opened beautifully. The long, deep divide sighed into view under the gentle petting of the girl's fingers and Jean swallowed, her mouth suddenly very dry, as Monique revealed to her the sweet fruit of her girlhood.

With exquisite, tantalising slowness, she peeled the lips completely open, holding them apart with the fingers of both hands for Jean's greedy inspection. Then, as the woman stared with increasing pleasure at the innocent but somehow maddening sex (feeling a growing desire to plunge her mouth against the pink softness and bite and tear at the sweetly perfumed inner flesh), Monique boldly started to jiggle the lips up and down…

She pulled them with alternate movements of her fingers, making the plump folds rub provocatively together — then stretch elastically away from each other in a thrilling and violently arousing exposure.

Jean half-unconsciously put her own hand out and moved it over Monique's breast. Not taking her eyes away from the girl's self-fondling, she rubbed Monique's nipple, quickly bringing the teat to an enormously ripe swelling. Her thumb and forefinger met around the base of the cherry, squeezing quite punishingly — drawing the tightly held nipple upwards away from Monique's bosom.

Under her fingers the girl's breast swayed softly, a plump young melon which wobbled in whichever direction she chose. Jean could feel her thighs sticking together and realised that she had already lost some warm juices…

Monique, meanwhile, was beginning to dip both her forefingers into the tight orifice of her sex. She had to twist them around in a series of circular movements in order not to damage her still intact hymen; the fingers would sink inwards to the second joint, then slowly emerge again — each time covered with a liquid film of young spunk.

At last the girl succeeded in penetrating herself completely. Her forefingers disappeared to their hilt between the slick lips of her quim and she began to drive them rhythmically in and out… slowly, easily, without the slightest haste — giving Jean all the time in the world to savour every movement.

“Oh, that looks so beautiful!” Jean exclaimed. She ran her tongue quickly over her parched lips. “I've never seen a girl doing that to herself before… you touch yourself so cleverly, my darling!” $ Monique wriggled one finger out of her quim. She put it up to Jean's face deliberately — offering the woman the fruits of her sex without saying a word.

Jean bent her mouth forward and sucked the long, slim finger between her lips. She licked her tongue slowly around it, tasting the pungent, slightly bitter juices which adhered to Monique's finger. She drew hard on it, feeling the nail sharp against the roof of her mouth. Her eyes closed in sheer bliss…

Firmly and insistently, Monique started to pull her finger free. And when Jean looked at her, dismay spreading over her face, the French girl whispered: “You must get some more for yourself, Jean!” Despite her boldness, Jean saw that Monique's cheeks were pink and blushing. Her full, lipstick-free mouth was parted and the lips were well-moistened — the light from the window catching them and giving them the appearance of being wetter than they actually were.

Although Monique's intention was not absolutely clear from her choice of words, Jean had not the smallest doubt that she was being invited to kiss and mouth the French girl — her lips taking the place of Monique's fingers., She slid her hand off the plump young breast, giving the nipple a final tweak. Her fingers passed right down the curve of Monique's waist, caressed briefly but excitingly at the sleek, fleshy hip… then came to rest on the satin-soft inside of he girl's right thigh.

Jean was more aroused than she could ever remember, every part of her afire with wild, passionate longing. Her body was trembling so much that? she had difficulty in working herself into position between Monique's thighs. She lifted the girl's legs up and placed them over her shoulders, deliberately keeping her eyes averted from Monique's. It was all she could do to move herself into such an outrageous and blatant attitude, and her resolve was growing weaker despite the fierce desire which was driving her on.

For one terrifying moment, Jean felt that she couldn't continue: what she was doing was completely against her nature, it was obscene… unnatural… She wasn't a lesbian! She wasn't! She -

And then the warm feel of Monique's soft under-thighs against her fingers checked her panic. Jean forced herself to look down at the totally exposed cunt which Monique was presenting to her.

It really was so pretty, she thought. So sweet, so very tempting! Her face moved as if by its own volition nearer and nearer to the rawly open quim its lips stretched wide apart and its complex of vulnerable flesh defencelessly yielding up its deepest secrets.

She kissed the very centre of Monique's cunt, pursing her lips and pressing them closely into the heart of the girl's precious treasure. The intimate musk came strongly to her nostrils, bringing back vivid memories of her first sexual experience with another girl…

Jean closed her eyes and let herself drift away into a state of beautiful physical pleasure; concentrating entirely on the sensations of touch and smell — ignoring all speculation on whether what she was doing was right or wrong. She applied herself to the kissing of Monique's cunt, slowly becoming oblivious to everything else.

Her tongue peeped out and its tip, curled over to form a long tube-like phallus, inched slowly into the heat of Monique's vulva. It pushed its way steadily inwards — moving from side to side, stretching as far as it could possibly reach into the girl's warm moist hole. Jean's pursed lips also worked: they moved continually on Monique's inner cunt-lips, savouring the rubbery wet flesh and pushing fiercely into the softness of the marvellous sex.

She felt the French girl beginning to gyrate her hips. Monique tensed and untensed her loins, thrusting her crotch more and more urgently against Jean's mouth. Jean slipped her hands beneath the girl's thighs until they cupped the soft balls of Monique's arse, fingers sinking deeply into the pillowlike cheeks and fondling them firmly.

Glueing her lips as passionately as she could to the French girl's cunt, Jean sucked with a relentless ardour. She began to shake her head violently from side to side, making her beautifully long hair fall across Monique's thighs and crotch — hiding their lesbian activity like a blanket.

Monique's ankles suddenly locked together around the small of her back and Jean felt the girl's hands grip her head, pushing her strongly against the well-sucked sex.

She began to rock and shiver so uncontrollably that it was all Jean could do to keep her mouth in position. Monique babbled incoherently in French, threshing her body in a furious tantrum. Jean put her fingers into the crease of the girl's arse — running her nails quickly up and down the warm divide and finding at last the entrance to Monique's anus.

Scrabbling wildly, she thrust her forefinger into the tender meat, ignoring Monique's shrill cry of protest. Firmly embedded inside, Jean's finger wiggled around and around; she could feel, through the wafer-thin membrane separating Monique's two orifices, her tongue as it continually darted and lapped at the innermost depths of the girl's cunt. It was beginning to ache, tiring from the strenuous and unaccustomed exercise. But Jean knew that she couldn't withdraw it until Monique had been given every possible satisfaction…

And so frantically was the French girl thrusting herself up and down on the bed that Jean knew her climax couldn't be too distant. Monique was gasping for breath, her mouth opening and closing like a stranded fish: she flailed desperately, pulling Jean's hair and bringing tears to the woman's eyes.

Then — as Jean's tongue lapped suddenly upwards to rub insistently on the stiff red clitoris — Monique went completely stiff. Her entire body tensed as the girl summoned her last ounce of strength… and the next moment Jean's mouth was filled with the runny love-spunk. It jetted hotly and thickly down her throat, forcing her to swallow again and again…

When Monique's orgasm finally abated, Jean kept her mouth pressed tightly against the girl's cunt. Her own quim itched to have the same treatment, but she wasn't sure if Monique would perform the service for her. Perhaps, she thought, now that the girl had fully spent her own lust, Monique would feel ashamed and guilty. She would realise that she had given in to a weak and shameful impulse and want nothing more to do with her. And so Jean fearfully stayed in the same position, afraid to move even slightly in case she broke the spell…

As she ought to have guessed, her fears were completely groundless. Monique, after regaining her breath, lifted Jean's face gently away from her crotch.

“That was so wonderful!” the girl murmured. “So very wonderful, Jean! Please — let me do the same for you. I'd like to kiss you so much!”

Jean raised her eyes to Monique's, gratitude and desire naked on her face. “Oh, Monique!” she sighed. “Would you? Would you really? It means so much to me, you know — so very much!”

The girl, flushed and still breathing heavily, helped Jean to slide up the bed on top of her again by putting her hands under the woman's armpits. “I want to make you happy, Jean", she told the girl softly. “The way you've made me happy! I would do anything for you now, darling — you know that, don't you? Anything in the world! No one has ever given me so much love and pleasure — no one! You're the first person I have ever felt this way about, Jean. The very first!”

As Jean's arms went around Monique again and she joined her lips to the girl's, a strange feeling of power seemed to light up in her mind. “I would do anything in the world for you…” Monique's words echoed again and again, resounding with a meaning — or the possibility of a meaning — which Jean could not yet grasp.

If it were true, if Monique really felt so strongly towards her and the girl's words weren't merely the result of a momentary passion, could it be barely possible that… That Monique might help her to make Michael her lover again?

The scarcely tangible notion seemed fantastic, the product of an over-heated and long frustrated imagination. In any case, how could Monique help her? What could she possibly do that Jean herself hadn't tried? Intrigues such as she was beginning to entertain simply didn't happen in the rarefied stockbroker belt of Surrey! They couldn't! The vague and ethereal hope was too impossibly romantic, too novelettish. She had been reading too many magazine stories.

And yet… Jean opened her eyes a little and looked into Monique's gentle face. Even if the scheme she worked out was a total failure, what possible harm could it do to attempt something which might make Michael her husband in more than just name?

Monique, she knew perfectly well, meant very little to her. If the girl was hurt — that was too bad! She was a sweet and passionate child who had given her a great deal of pleasure: but there was nothing more to it than that. There were far more important things to consider than the emotions of an au pair girl.

She would turn the matter over carefully in her mind, Jean decided. Meantime, just in case she did put some sort of intrigue into operation, it was clearly important that Monique felt as close to her and as dependent on her as possible. And Jean knew of only one sure way in which this could be achieved…

As she returned her full attention back to the girl, Jean realised with a guilty stab of shame that she was being completely ruthless in manipulating Monique's emotions. No better than Michael, in fact.

Yet, she quickly assured herself, Monique was very young — she would soon get over any heartache which their association might cause her. Whereas she, Jean, had to grab at anything which promised to bring her happiness. Her time was rapidly running out… She was well over thirty and had relatively few years left of sexual attraction. She owed it to herself to make the most of them.

And in any case, the words “I love you” which she'd breathed to Monique during their intimate moments weren't entirely a lie. Perhaps she had murmured them in a fit of blind passion — at a time when she felt an overwhelming gratitude towards the girl for helping her to recapture the joys of sex — but nevertheless there must be at least an element of truth in them.

Jean realised at this point in her rapid assessment of her feelings that her mind was a frightening network of disconnected and clashing impulses. Her motives in initiating the affair with Monique seemed terrifyingly ambiguous; she could no longer distinguish between her genuine desires and the ones which she was supposedly acting-out.

For a moment or two Jean felt utterly, totally unsure of herself. What did she want? Was it really Michael? Monique?

Or perhaps neither of them… She forced her thoughts away from the horrible white pit which yawned in front of her. It threatened to engulf her completely, to swallow her up in a horrifying maze of indecision.

She gripped Monique's body tightly, clinging almost desperately to the girl as she fought her way back to sanity. “I must hold on to reality", she repeated over and over to herself. “And reality means Michael… it does, it does! It means having Michael close to me again! And the only way I can win him back is through Monique!”

Jean gradually drew away from the chasm of ambivalence. She sought refuge in the soft warmth of Monique's body, pushing herself against the girl until she could almost feel her flesh merging into Monique's. Slowly, the throbbing in her mind subsided, leaving Jean with a sharp, insatiable desire to make love — passionate, urgent, demanding love…

3

She pressed her fingers into the bare skin of Monique's back, running them up and down the white flesh in a firm, massaging caress. How smooth Monique's shoulders felt! Jean's hands glided upwards to them, spending long, languorous moments just touching the gentle curves.

The sensation of Jean's fingers on her shoulders seemed to fire Monique with an intense lust — as if the caress of the woman's fingers at that particular place triggered off an erotic response in the girl.

Realising that she had found an especially vulnerable spot, Jean increased the pressure of her hands there. She turned her fingers around and around, making Monique's shoulders move under them, the soft flesh rippling under her touch. Monique squirmed against her, the girl moaning into Jean's ear: “I was supposed to give you pleasure this time, darling!” she sighed. “Instead, you're getting me all excited again!”

Jean continued her fondling of the beautiful shoulders, now increasing the pressure of her fingers so that Monique's naked skin was gripped tightly under her constantly moving hands.

“It doesn't matter, Monique", she whispered. “As long as I can feel your wonderful flesh against me — nude and warm… That's all I want!”

She felt the girl's quick intake of breath as Monique gladly snuggled even closer to her; the points of her nipples meeting Jean's as their breasts pushed firmly together. Further down, Jean could also feel the soft heat of Monique's tummy as the girl thrust herself forward — making their voluptuous female flesh press closely and intimately.

Carefully, the girls arranged themselves so that every part of their bodies touched: their thighs strained against each other, their hips blended sweetly — and their respective cunt-crotches merged so tightly that Jean could feel the warm, wet lips of Monique's quim thrusting into her own.

They began to writhe gently together, rocking in a delirious, slow-motion ecstasy on the bed, bodies locked as closely as possible.

As Jean continued to massage the roundness of Monique's shoulders, the girl allowed her own hands to slip slowly down Jean's back — fingers caressing the delicate, sensitive spine; up and down, returning again and again to Jean's bottom but always roaming away from the cheeks again just before they descended fully on the woman's arse-crease.

Then, gathering up two large handfuls of Jean's luxuriant black hair, Monique began to rub the woman's back with it. She gently stroked the bunched-up hair all the way down Jean's naked skin — running her fingers slowly through the strands until they were drawn almost to the opening of the woman's bottom.

The tickling sensation of her hair being rubbed sexily up and down her back made Jean start to shiver uncontrollably. She felt beautifully at Monique's mercy: the girl could do anything she liked with her — anything at all! Her body was Monique's completely; and the French girl seemed to realise that this new caress had aroused Jean almost more than her previous attentions.

She gently nudged Jean backwards until the woman lay on the bed with Monique bending over her. And then Monique began to play with her hair again — this time using it as a replacement for her fingers, stroking the soft tufts over Jean's breasts, rubbing the woman's nipples with the fine black curls… even sweeping it as far down Jean's tummy as it would reach — just being able to tickle the ends deliciously into the woman's navel.

Monique's smaller breasts swung freely as the girl attended to Jean. The temptation to reach her hand up and steady the wobbling globes was too strong — and Jean cupped her fingers once more and let them close gently around the girl's right titty, the one nearest to her.

She clenched and unclenched the fingers, making Monique's nipples grow taut and strong by rubbing them silkily between her forefinger and thumb. Monique replied to this fondling by lowering her face steadily towards Jean's riper, more prominent breast. The girl's lips parted, then came together around Jean's already stiff nipple.

She sucked it into her mouth with a teasing, tantalising slowness. And Jean, looking down at her chest, gasped aloud as she saw her nipple disappearing completely between Monique's red lips. The next moment she felt a sharp dragging sensation on her teat — a gradually mounting pain which turned quickly to pleasure.

Monique was closing her sharp little teeth firmly around Jean's precious bud and giving the nipple a series of determined bites! The girl held the juicy-tasting protuberance as tightly as possible, beginning to dart her moist and quivering tongue quickly across the very tip of it.

Over and over it lapped, forcing the hard red nipple to wobble inside the heat of Monique's mouth. Jean tightened her hand on Monique's breast — squeezing furiously as her passion grew fiercer and fiercer. She felt almost as if she wanted to pull poor little Monique's titty right off: urgently, she clasped and drew on the imprisoned breast — hearing Monique making funny little cries which were muffled by the thickness of her own breast inside the girl's mouth.

As if to retaliate for Jean's harsh treatment of her breast, the girl slid her hand further down the woman's tummy and fitted her fingers into the vulnerable slit of Jean's cunt. She slipped them easily into the wettened wound and began to push hard; her palm pressing rigidly into Jean's pubic mound and giving the hairy curve a thorough kneading.

Jean had to grit her teeth tightly together to stop herself crying out in pain. Remorselessly, Monique was frigging her sharp-nailed fingers into the tenderness of her cunt, opening the lips with inconsiderate roughness — a striking contrast to her earlier gentle treatment.

Without planning it, the two girls had fallen into a veritable contest of will-power: seeing which of them could withstand the most pain without pleading for the other to desist.

Grimly, Jean continued to pull on Monique's breast. Her fingers were now scoring fiercely into the soft and pliable flesh — raising long red weals on the delicate skin. She was twiddling the nipple, too, turning it around as if the hard and exciting knob of gristle was a screw and her fingers were the screwdriver… It seemed to be growing even bigger! That was the amazing thing! As she twisted and pinched the French girl's pointy titty it thickened and stiffened even more — and the thought came to Jean that it was begging her to continue with this cruel but exciting love-play — pleading with her not to stop!

Monique's fingers were being equally ruthless in their own way. Jean could feel the tears starting from her eyes as the inner lips were scratched and mauled by the au pair girl's deliberately raking fingernails.

“Ouch!” The cry was wrenched from Jean's lips unwillingly. Monique had just sliced the sharp curve of one nail across the very centre of her clitty, and the precious morsel felt afire with pain.

“Oh, my darling!” Monique murmured seductively. “I'm so terribly sorry — did I hurt you?” She raised her mouth from Jean's breasts and her lips were wet and glistening. As they left Jean's nipple the teat bobbled slightly, moist from the juices of the girl's saliva.

“Was I too rough with you, my precious?” Monique's eyes gleamed with a sexy mock-apology which Jean found overwhelmingly thrilling. “Here", the girl went on. “Let me kiss you better…”

And she immediately began to lower her mouth to Jean's sex, holding the woman's thighs open with both hands.

“Wait a minute!” Jean tightened her grip on Monique's breast, fingers digging into the supple orb, refusing to release it. “I'm not going to let go of your titty, Monique! You'll have to find some way to kiss me and let me still hold your breast!”

Monique smiled sweetly, meeting Jean's eyes with becoming frankness. “That's easily done", she replied. “But it means that you'll have to look closely at my dickie again, Jean!”

And she quickly swung herself around so that her bottom faced towards Jean's head. Her right thigh lifted and came over Jean's body — and the girl boldly squatted astride the woman's shoulders, leaning forward so that her bottom opened and the luscious valley between her arse-cheeks was blatantly displayed to Jean's eyes.

Monique bent further, supporting herself by placing her hands firmly on Jean's thighs. As the girl sank into a crouching position, the full beauty of her pink cunt came into full view. It looked, from this backward position, like a long, deep wound — the puffy lips on either side of the hole opening to expose in all its glory, Monique's mark of womanhood. The red and vulnerable slit of Eve… of Venus…

She showed not the slightest trace of embarrassment, though Monique must have realised that every single part of her most private region was openly, nakedly revealed to Jean's hot eyes. Her fingers played on the soft inside of Jean's thighs, urging them to open.

Jean heard the girl give a murmur of pleasure as her own eyes drank in the voluptuous sight of the hair protected bulge around her cunt. With cautious fingers, Monique parted the tangle of hair, uttering soft little exclamations of delight as Jean's mature and fleshy-lipped pussy peeped into sight.

Carefully, Monique put the fingers of her right hand on the revealed slit — letting them descend oh-so-gently upon Jean's highly sensitive quim. A tremor passed through Jean's entire body as the girl softly began to stroke the fingers up and down her sex. She squirmed, her legs drumming spastically on the bed; shivering with sheer pleasure as Monique started to pet her.

The French girl moved her bottom backwards a little, bringing the white cheeks closer to Jean's face. At the same time she tickled the tips of her fingers right into Jean's cunt — drawing the sleek, puffy lips out of the way so that she could dip them into the softer heat of the woman's vulva.

So deliberately the girl caressed her! So very slowly did Monique press her fingers into Jean's quim! The latter woman was breathing heavily again, her senses fully aroused by the piquant situation: they were now both staring deep into the heart of each other's most erotic and mysterious parts. Both shamelessly keeping their thighs open so that their partner could gaze as long and as deep as she wished into the secrets of their sex.

Jean tingled with delight as she felt Monique beginning to blow sweetly into the revealed flower of her cunt. The girl's breath created an added heat around the already boiling quim — making it feel more liquid and more itchy than before.

Monique's fingers played leisurely around the inner lips, fondling her clitoris and rubbing at the plump red flesh inside her quim: but not yet actually penetrating her. They teased at the entrance to her vulva, but Monique tantalisingly refrained from squeezing her fingers into the hole itself.

Instead, the girl fondled with those maddening, delicious digits all around the fiery spot, bringing Jean almost to the point of orgasm with her slow, thorough manipulations.

When Jean thought she would be able to stand the suspense not a single moment longer, Monique intuitively relented. But instead of sliding her fingers lusciously into the heart of the fruit, she pursed her sweet young lips and kissed them firmly into the woman's cunt — holding Jean's pussy open so that she could suck at it without hindrance.

Jean lay there, gasping for breath, her hands twitching in passive impotence. The sensation of the French girl's mouth working busily at her quim was almost more than she could bear! Never had she experienced so intense an excitement: she began to throb violently, her mind starting to spin off into highly-coloured fantasies as Monique put her tongue out and slipped it firmly into the tight, pulsing orifice.

She could feel the girl's chin pressing into her pubic mound, rubbing up and down the erotic place as Monique warmed to her task of giving Jean the most exciting and stimulating cunt-sucking the woman had ever received.

Dimly, Jean realised that she had unwittingly released Monique's breast. Her fingers were still clenching and unclenching, however, as if she had the lolling young titty clasped between them. Unable to regain her grip on the breast, Jean raised her hands and contented herself with Monique's bottom.

She stroked the cheeks lovingly, using her thumbs to lift them wider apart so that she could view the tiny brown anus. It was pursed only a few scant inches from her mouth and Jean felt an overwhelming impulse to lick up and down the inviting crease of Monique's arse.

Every last scrap of inhibition gone, she immediately fitted the action to the thought. Raising her head, she closed the distance between Monique's arse and her lips. The softness of the girl's cheeks against her face was beautiful! Jean moved her head slowly from side to side, savouring the contact.

Then, her hands still spread out on Monique's bottom — holding the wonderful globes as far apart as was possible — Jean extended her tongue and licked from the base of the girl's cunt right up the center of her arsecrease. It ran lasciviously over the hard, taut bump of Monique's anus, then travelled on until it reached the end of the cheeks and the beginning of the girl's spine.

Down again… this time unable to resist stopping at Monique's rear hole and thoroughly tasting the wild odours of her shameless bottom. Jean pressed her lips firmly around the fleshy petals, breathing heavily against Monique's back orifice. She ran her tongue right over the precious nutmeg — lapping greedily until the perfume of the girl's bottom was as familiar to her as the scent she wore.

This would have been exciting enough in itself — to suck and tickle with her tongue at the hitherto forbidden passage of another girl's arse. But to feel at the same time Monique's tongue growing increasingly bolder and beginning to slip fully into her own cunt…!!

Jean felt transported to another world, lifted far beyond her normal capacity for sexual enjoyment by the sheer daring of what they were doing.

For the time being nothing mattered to her. Not Michael, not Cathy, not even herself. If guilt and shame followed upon this wild, abandoned lesbianism, Jean was more than willing to pay that price. What was happening to her NOW, right now, transcended everything. She deliberately drowned out her rational mind, refused to listen to the dictates of her conscience. For this wonderful, incredibly sexy moment she allowed herself to become a creature of pure instinct — revelling uninhibitedly in sheer animal lust…

She lifted her loins up so that Monique could penetrate her more deeply. Her hips writhed in a fierce sexual rhythm, surging and straining. Monique responded immediately, the woman's mounting passion communicating itself to her own feverish lust.

The girl's lips mouthed more violently than ever around Jean's cunt, worrying the red meat; sucking large pieces of the flesh inwards and darting her tongue in faster and faster movements inside her partner's quim.

At the same time, her fingers slipped beneath the cheeks of Jean's buttocks and began to fondle them urgently. They dug into the heavy swells, lifting, turning them in every possible direction. Her nose burrowed itself into Jean's cunt, rubbing against the woman's stiff clitty — making the red morsel more inflamed and hard than ever.

Monique's arse, too, started to contract in wild, frantic spasms: making it difficult for Jean to keep her mouth in position.

Feeling the girl's desperate need, she worked her fingers under Monique's thighs until they were able to touch and penetrate her quim. Quickly, Jean fondled the exotic lips open and relieved the itching which she knew Monique must be suffering.

As if by instinct, Jean seemed to know exactly where the girl tickled most urgently. She pushed her fingers deep into Monique's cunt and stroked them firmly and quickly against the top wall of her slot: the place where the girl's network of nerve fibres was most sensitive.

Monique gave a muffled cry of ecstasy, but valiantly kept her lips glued to Jean's pussy — opening and closing them again and again so that the woman's cunt was subjected to a ceaseless petting.

Suddenly, the sheer deliciousness of what they were doing to each other completely overwhelmed Jean. She felt the spunk boiling up in her crotch, screaming silently to her for release. With a grinding, a furious threshing of her hips, she urged herself to her climax.

The love-cream came streaming out of her cunt, gushing into Monique's waiting mouth. Helplessly, unable to control herself, Jean let the hot fluid pump from her well-stimulated pussy. Knowing that Monique was gobbling it down and sucking frenziedly at her quim-lips to urge every last goblet out, she took a deep breath and then stuck her tongue as it would go into the girl's anus.

The exotic flavour of the French girl's arse juices mingled with her saliva to form a heady cocktail. Jean drank fully of Monique's rich, earthy treasures — savouring every joyous moment of her orgasm, which was still in full eruption.

And then Monique, too, began to surge her loins in a violent, thrusting action — and Jean knew that the girl was beginning to launch upon her own climax.

She swiftly placed her forefinger where her mouth had been: sticking it rudely into the tiny hole of Monique's arse and twisting it deeply inside the tight, protesting orifice. At the same moment, Jean transferred her mouth to the girl's already streaming quim — just in time to receive the abundant tribute of Monique's spunk.

Rolling slightly from side to side on the bed, the two girls sucked and chewed ecstatically upon their bare sexes; their warm, moist bodies rubbing and pressing in a totally, completely intimate merging.

For long minutes their highly stimulated cunts throbbed and shuddered out their soothing, blissful come. Monique's breasts stuck firmly into the flat of Jean's stomach, the small but shapely globes glistening with sweat. Jean cuddled the French girl's buttocks close to her face — keeping her forefinger stuck as far as it would thrust up Monique's backside.

When, finally, neither girl could strain another drop of milky love-juice from her quim, Monique rolled off Jean's body, flopping exhaustedly onto the bed by her lover's side. Jean's arm went around the girl's thighs, holding her close as they both fell into a sweetly contented sleep…

Monique awoke first. She turned over onto her back, gently disengaging her limbs from Jean's grasp. The girl stared for several long minutes at the woman's nudity, a soft mistiness in her eyes as she let them travel slowly over her lover's body.

For some time she felt only a sharp, aching tenderness towards Jean; a deep, romantic affection for the woman who had given her such exquisite pleasure. How wonderful it had felt to be caressed by those long, gentle fingers! Monique sighed. How considerate Jean had been, how thoughtful!

Was it really sinful to be loved by a member of your own sex? Monique began to feel the first pangs of self-reproach — a sudden remorse creeping through her body as she stared at Jean's fingers: relaxed in sleep, the beautifully shaped hands lying passively at the woman's side.

What intimate things they had done to her! The girl felt a deep blush stealing over her cheeks as she regarded Jean's hands and remembered how they had touched her in her most private and secret parts!

How could she ever look Jean in the eyes again after knowing the woman so completely? She began to feel terribly afraid that Jean would reject her — that when the woman awoke she would feel ashamed of her momentary weakness and hate the girl who had inspired it. Monique bit her lip tearfully.

It wasn't really her fault, the girl tried to insist. What they had done together had been as much on Jean's initiative as her own. She couldn't be held entirely to blame for their immoral and unnatural intimacy.

But then Monique realised that she longed for a repetition of it! Jean had stirred previously unknown desires within her and Monique could no longer pretend that they didn't exist. Perhaps these feelings had always been waiting for a woman like Mrs. Cameron to nudge them and bring them out into the open. Perhaps she was a lesbian — through and through!

The idea startled her and she tried to suppress it. Surely all girls went through some such phase in their sexual development? It wasn't all that unusual for a girl to seek out a member of her own sex when she was growing aware of her beauty and her desires?

But somehow Monique knew that her feelings for Jean Cameron went much deeper than a mere girlish infatuation. Gingerly, she put her hand on Jean's calf and let her fingers press the shapely flesh.

Again, the familiar breathlessness overcame her: she could feel, stirring from her very soul, a growing awareness that her emotions towards Jean belonged to a very different category. It the love of which the poets spoke really existed, Monique was certain that she felt it for this wonderful, beautiful woman.

Helplessly, her mind and body yearned for Jean. She couldn't imagine that the caresses of a man could even equal, let alone surpass, those which she had enjoyed with Mrs. Cameron. Monique gazed soulfully on the relaxed, sleeping body — white and naked, the legs apart and revealing Jean's sex: the smooth triangle of dark hairs into which she'd so recently been burying her mouth.

The girl knew that the morning which had begun so normally (no different from the many others she'd spent with the Camerons) had completely changed her life. There was no turning back for her. Never again could she be the innocent, inexperienced girl of her childhood. Without warning, her submerged lust had risen to the surface of her being — and she was to be subjugated to her desires for the rest of her life…

Her thoughts saddened her; Monique felt a sweet melancholy pervade her as she fully realised that she had at last crossed the threshold into womanhood. It was a momentous occasion, this irrevocable step towards maturity. And, her eyes never leaving Jean's body, the girl began to cry silent tears; weeping for the loss of her innocence.

The sound of her crying woke Jean up. Faintly, through her sleep of exhaustion, the woman heard gentle, rhythmic sobs as Monique was unable to keep her weeping to herself.

“Oh, what's the matter, darling?” she asked anxiously, sitting up in the bed and quickly putting her arm around Monique's bare shoulders. “Why are you crying? What's wrong?”

Monique buried her head in Jean's hair, clinging to the woman, her body shaking helplessly. Between sobs, she blurted out: “You must despise me for what I've done, Jean! You must hate me! I've been so wicked, so terrible…”

Firmly, Jean took the girl by her shoulders and lifted her up so that their eyes met. “Oh, Monique!” she whispered. “How can you even think such a thing? I love you, darling! I love you! Do you think I didn't know what I was doing — that I was actually being seduced by you?

“It's been so long since I've made love the way we made love, Monique! So very long…” Her eyes took on a faraway look and her voice faltered. “If anything, it's me who ought to be ashamed", she continued, searching Monique's eyes intensely. “You are only a child — and I've behaved as if you were in full control of your emotions. It was very wrong of me — ”

Monique shook her head urgently. “Oh, you must not think that, Jean!” she exclaimed. “I knew exactly what I was doing, believe me!” She smiled wistfully. “We do seem to be at cross-purposes, don't we?” Monique said with a rueful twist of her lips. “First, we didn't want to be truthful about what we were doing to each other this morning.

“Or at least — ” she corrected herself quickly. “I didn't want to admit it! And now, we both think we've persuaded the other to do something which she didn't really want to do! I suppose it's quite funny really, isn't it?”

Jean hugged her tightly. “Never mind, darling", she told the girl. “I think we both understand each other now. Don't we?”

Monique nodded happily, moving her cheek softly against Jean's. “Oh yes!” she cried. “We do — I know we do!”

Jean kissed her gently on her chin. “Good", she said briskly. “Now — let's have no more talk about doing 'terrible things'! What we have together isn't terrible: it's beautiful and wonderful, understand?”

Monique nodded again, gazing into Jean's face with a trustful, child-like faith.

“I've waited so long to be loved", Jean went on, her voice huskier and filling with emotion. “When you came to stay with us I never imagined that you'd be the one, darling. How could I? I always thought it would be another man…

“But now I know how wrong I was! Men are selfish, greedy animals! They think only of themselves. I should have known that you could never have the same relationship with them that two women can have. It's impossible — the two sexes are so different, they each want completely opposite things from their partners.

“Women want to be adored… caressed slowly and gently. Men want to dominate cruelly and with only a token display of tenderness. How can they ever be truly happy together?”

Monique listened, allowing herself to be persuaded by Jean's words, refusing to question the dubious logic which the woman was propounding.

“I loved a girl once — a long time ago", Jean continued. “We were at school together and used to spend our holidays at each other's houses. One year I'd stay with her, the next year she'd come out to my parent's house in the country — not very far from here, as a matter of fact…

“We used to play games together: act out charades in which we'd pretend that we were famous people — actors and actresses, kings and queens… the usual games which children indulge in. I forget which one of us first suggested it, but we started to imagine what these people were like when they made love — how they behaved…

“We began to experiment; getting so carried away with enthusiasm for the new twist to our game that we actually undressed each other and kissed and fondled…

“Both of us enjoyed doing this so much that we played it nearly every time we were alone together. We tried out different techniques, guessing how certain movie stars would make love when they didn't have an audience watching them. Neither of us ever admitted it, but very soon it became far more than just a game. We always disguised what we were doing; we never admitted that we were really Jean and Anne who were making love to each other.

“But, obviously, we both knew secretly that we loved each other much more passionately than two girl friends ought to. And that we were far more intimate than was considered 'proper'.

“Inevitably we were caught at our game one day. I say it was inevitable because we were so innocent that we scarcely bothered to hide our activity and frequently touched each other when our parents were in the room. Then, one summer afternoon, we were lying together under a tree deep in the woods. It was quite hot and we'd stripped down to our underclothes.

“I suggested that we play 'our game'. That was all that one of us had to say: 'our game'. The other knew immediately what was meant by it. We had just begun to pet and caress each other — stretched out on the warm grass, the birds singing, the sun shining brightly through the gaps in the branches. Jean paused, a nostalgic and rather sad smile on her lips.

“Our panties were bunched around our ankles and our fingers were gently exploring between our thighs… our lips were kissing in a long, timeless kiss; scarcely touching, but moving and brushing together — so sweetly!

“Then I felt a hand on my shoulder, dragging me off Anne's body. It was my father — he hit me, called me some horrible names…”

Jean's body trembled as she relived the traumatic experience of so long ago.

“For several years I was afraid to even speak to another girl — in case it led to a repetition: in case it brought back the feelings I'd had for Anne. When I was 18 I met Michael. He was an attractive, well-educated young man — he belonged to 'my class' as they say here in England.

“Scarcely knowing what I was doing, I accepted him when he proposed a few months after we were introduced. And here I am! A respectable, middle-class English housewife; living in the most sober, stuffy, middle-class environment you could imagine! And just waking up to the fact that I made a terrible mistake!”

Monique stared at the faint lines of cynicism which were beginning to etch around Jean's mouth. The woman looked bitter, her eyes overcast as she dwelt upon her past. After a moment, Jean continued:

“I suppose we've been fairly happy together — up to about three years ago, that is. We never got really close; our sort of background didn't encourage people to be too intimate, not emotionally at any rate. I think I tried to get to know Michael, I think I did…

“It must be hard for someone like you to understand us, Monique. How can two people live together for nearly sixteen years and still be relative strangers? It seems incredible to me, at least it does now! But apart from exchanging banal pleasantries and going out to village fetes, church, the local repertory company — things like that — apart from the most mundane sharing of experiences, we scarcely allowed ourselves to share anything. Not the important things, anyway.

“As I told you before, Michael started to go out with other women. Slyly, secretly — pretending that I didn't have the slightest suspicion of what was going on. It was sordid, really sordid!

“And that's the state we were in when Michael got in touch with an agency and arranged for you to spend six weeks with us as an au pair girl. He could see that I was growing more and more miserable and the fool thought that all I needed was companionship! Since he wasn't prepared to give it to me himself, he thought an au pair girl would solve the problem of poor little Jean very nicely!”

Jean disengaged herself from Monique and lit a cigarette. She lay back with her head on the pillow, smoking in silence for a few moments.

Monique said: “Did you ever think about getting a divorce?”

“On what grounds? Coldness isn't recognised in English law as an adequate excuse for divorce, you know. And Michael would never leave me — his standing with the company would drop immediately any hint of scandal about his private life got out. A separation would kill his career. You've simply got no idea how Victorian some of these British stockbrokers are! A man in an important position like Michael has to have a character as blameless and pure as Snow White!”

Jean tapped the ash off her cigarette and blew gently on the tip, making it flare redly for a moment. “Both of us are trapped in a dead end,” she said. And there was a crushing, defeated finality in her voice now.

“We're stuck with each other whether we like it or not. He won't leave me — and I love Cathy too much to break up her home life”. She shrugged hopelessly. “It's a bastard of a situation, isn't it?”

Monique took Jean's hand in hers and squeezed it. “Is it still so bad — now that you've got me?” she murmured.

Jean turned and looked at her. “It's wonderful to have you, Monique", she replied sadly. “But you know as well as I do that it can't be permanent, don't you? In three more weeks you'll be going home. And that's when we'll have to say goodbye to each other — forever!”

Monique's lips quivered. “Don't say that, Jean", she begged. “Surely there's some way I could be near you. I could get a job here, work in the town. I'd do anything — ”.

Before the girl broke down completely, Jean interrupted her. “There might be a way", she admitted. “But it's a solution I hardly dare mention to you…”

“Anything!” Monique implored. “Oh, Jean, believe me — whatever it is, if I can only be with you — ”.

“It would mean your doing things which you might find to be completely against your nature", Jean told her. “If we could somehow persuade Michael to let you stay on as my companion…”

Monique almost clapped her hands together with delight. “Could you, Jean! Oh, that would be wonderful!” All thoughts of her homeland, of her relatives and friends in France had disappeared from Monique's mind. The girl's only concern was to find some way of being close to Jean.

“The snag is", Jean went on, holding up a finger in front of Monique's face. “I can't see Michael agreeing to it unless we convince him that we're more than just companions — more than just friends!”

“I don't understand, Jean. Why wouldn't he let me live here? You said yourself he let me come in the first place to be company for you. And I'd work hard and pay for my keep…”

Jean shook her head. “It's obvious that you don't know my husband very well", she replied. “Michael would never let you stay on permanently — for one thing, he'd be afraid of the gossip. He has quite a few business people visiting the house from time to time. And word would soon get around that our temporary an pair girl had become a permanent resident.

“That might seem perfectly innocuous to you, but out here where there's little to do except look for juicy bits of scandal; well, let's just say that people would talk and Michael wouldn't like it”.

Jean finished her cigarette and stubbed it out carefully. Then she said: “Besides, Michael would hate me to have someone I could confide in: someone who was around all the time and who would listen to my criticism of him. Temporarily — yes: but a permanent companion, no!”

Monique looked bewildered. “I can't understand what you're trying to say, Jean", she protested. “First you tell me we should be more than just friends — then you contradict yourself and say Michael wouldn't like you to have a close friend! Please — can't you be plain: tell me exactly what you have in mind”.

“All right, I will”. Jean looked down at Monique's hand and began to caress the girl's fingers as she spoke. “I've been vague about this because I don't know exactly how to put it, darling. But I might as well be frank and run the risk of upsetting you. There's no other way we can be certain that we won't be parted.

“Supposing we let Michael know how intimate we are! Supposing we show him that we're much more than just friends — that we're lovers!”

Monique looked horrified. “But — but that would spoil everything, Jean. Surely it would! We — ”.

“Not necessarily", Jean told her. The woman's voice was very quiet now, her words spaced deliberately. “Not if we allowed him to share us occasionally!”

She glanced up quickly, seeing Monique's face paling with disbelief. “Wait — let me finish, darling", she went on hurriedly. “It needn't be too often, we could just let him sleep with us say once a week! And the rest of the time we'd be together. Just the two of us!”

The enormity of Jean's proposal was a long time registering on Monique's mind. She couldn't even feel shocked by it, so outrageous was the woman's scheme. All she could say, finally, was: “He'd never agree to a thing like that! Jean — he's simply not the type of man to do such things as sharing his wife with another girl. The whole idea's impossible.”

“Is it?” Jean set her mouth primly. “I don't think it is — and I know Michael better than you, Monique. Oh yes, on the surface he's as dull and stodgy as the rest of his class. But don't forget that he has a mistress: or, more probably, several mistresses.

“Beneath that pin-striped suit and that ridiculous bowler hat is a highly-sexed, very lecherous male! When we were first married we enjoyed ourselves in bed quite a lot. Michael can be an inventive, imaginative lover, believe me.

“Perhaps it's both our faults that we've grown so stale, so remote from each other: both in and out of bed. I'd gamble that faced with the titillating situation of having two girls eager to please him, Michael would quickly regain his old zest. He simply wouldn't be able to resist the opportunity, Monique. And I don't believe that there are many men who could!

“Then, once we've seduced him he can hardly turn around and tell you to leave, can he? And even if he tried, I could always threaten to drop a few hints in the neighbourhood about what we've been up to…!”

Jean pulled Monique closer to her, holding the girl's hands tightly. “It all depends on you, my darling', she whispered. “If you feel you can't go through with such a plan… I'll understand — of course, I'll understand. But think how marvellous it could be: together all day long, every day”.

She pressed her face against Monique's, murmuring huskily: “And every night, too, my precious…”

While she waited for the girl's response, Jean deliberately snuggled her breasts against Monique's; she made their nipples brush silkily together, the red teats touching in dainty little movements. Would Monique swallow the bait, she wondered. And even more pertinently, was it in reality a “bait” at all?

The story she had told the girl was completely true. The only lie (or was it a lie? How could Jean be sure?) being that its ending was not quite as she saw the climax in reality. Monique was expendable… wasn't she? Or was it, after all, Michael who could be dispensed with once she and Monique had their relationship properly established.

For a brief, giddy moment, Jean had the sensation that all this was nothing but a day-dream — a sheer fantasy. It couldn't be real! She couldn't be propositioning this sweet young girl as if she were a completely amoral libertine! In a moment she would sit up in bed and the day would begin again… It must be a dream, it must be!

And then Monique asked if this really was the only way they could be sure of continuing together, and Jean heard herself saying: “Yes, it is, darling” and she knew that it really was happening. It really was! She wanted suddenly to pull back from the machinations she'd set in motion, terribly afraid of their ultimate consequences. It wasn't too late — she could easily tell Monique that she'd just been teasing, that the whole thing was nothing but a silly joke…

“All right, then", Monique's voice came clear and decisively to her ear. “You're not really asking so very much of me, Jean, are you? And I told you before that I'd do anything for you, didn't I? It's a small price to pay for your love, my darling — to have to share you and give myself to Michael… I'll do it!”

Jean could scarcely believe her ears. Monique was actually saying that she'd go through with her plan! Then it was all real, after all — not a dream, not a fantastic wish conjured from her imagination.

She hugged the girl more tightly to her body. “Oh, my darling; my precious!” she cried. “You won't regret it — I promise you, you won't regret it. I'll do everything I can to make you happy, I swear I will!”

To her surprise, Jean realised that she was crying again. Tears of relief and gladness were streaming from her eyes, making Monique's cheek wet and salty. The girl must care so very deeply for her, Jean thought with wonderment. She must love her with a greater intensity at this moment than Jean herself had felt in her entire life to agree such an outlandish proposal.

They fell back onto the bed together, Monique's body covering Jean's. Jean smoothed the girl's short hair tenderly, still overwhelmed by the strength of Monique's love for her.

If only Michael felt so passionately towards her. If only he cared a tenth as much for her as this precious, beautiful young girl!

Jean sighed with self-pity, then realised that in a relatively short time — once she had succeeded in re-opening his eyes to her sexual attraction — her husband might be as demonstrative to her as Monique. She closed her eyes, savouring the blissful thought. That would be worth everything, she mused. All the anxiety, all the unhappiness of the past years.

She let her eyes close, content for the time being merely to hold Monique's warm flesh against her own. There would be plenty of time for them to continue their love-making. All the time in the world…

PART TWO. Michael

1

He pressed his foot down on the accelerator, sending the car in a fierce forward thrust down the dual carriageway. The 30 m.p.h. speed limit ended here, and Michael shifted into top gear and let the Vauxhall's speedometer creep up steadily to the 65 mark.

The green verge and the evenly spaced trees flashed past, the flatness of the surrounding countryside blurring into a meaningless frozen landscape. He kept his eyes on the straight grey road ahead — watching as the bonnet of the car greedily swallowed up the tarmac.

Michael Cameron was a large man; but his muscular body, kept in shape by regular exercise and his twice weekly tennis workouts, still retained the angular lines and the even distribution of weight of his youth. His eyes were brown, his face — now twisted into a dark scowl — normally expressed the calm, cool confidence of a man who has found his niche in life and is contented with it.

The lines of middle age were prematurely showing on his forehead and around his rather full and sensuous lips. He was a man who had trained himself neither to feel or reveal emotion: he dealt with crises in his business and domestic life with calm, methodical deliberation, scarcely ever allowing himself to weaken and display signs of involvement with his associates.

In the environment of his office and in the close, inbred atmosphere of his club, he was recognised as an almost too typical example of the English businessman. Moderately successful, assured of a comfortable pension at the end of his working life, commuting by car each day from his semi-detached Surrey house to the firm of London stockbrokers in which he held a fairly responsible position; married with a quietly spoken daughter who lived most of the year in a reasonably-priced boarding school…

People scarcely gave him a second glance. With his rolled-up umbrella, his anonymous pin-striped suit and his dark bowler, Michael Cameron merged into his surroundings like a lizard which is coloured a desert-grey protect it from its enemies. He was outwardly the very epitome of placid, humdrum respectability.

But lately there had been a gradual change in his personality, a shift in his outlook on life. It was still scarcely apparent to his business colleagues, though people who knew him on a social level had remarked upon his abruptness, his frequent bad temper — and his highly changeable moods.

The simple reason for Michael's discontent was that he had reached the age of 35. In itself, the fact meant nothing. He still had many years of relative youth left to him; he had an assured, safe future ahead — and outwardly he had every reason to be satisfied with his life.

And yet the thought had struck him a few months ago that none of his secret dreams and ambitions as a boy had been realised. None of them. He had settled for an unimaginative, pedantic existence: burying himself in a small country town, letting his life revolve around church fetes, visits to the repertory company, whist drives and all the other narrow, time-consuming activities of the half-asleep minds around him.

That was the crux of the matter: he, too, had been half-asleep all these years, Michael saw. Doing all the “right” things like getting married and working hard at a boring and increasingly tedious job. For twenty years he had spent his life like a man in a dream, while the promises he had made to himself as a youth lay forgotten in the recesses of his mind: slumbering while he wasted his good years, his vital years…

He had wanted to travel, to write, to meet exciting and creative people. He had meant to learn several languages, extend his awareness of the world.

Bitterly, Michael took the car out to the centre of the highway and overtook a lorry. As he passed it and drew back into the nearside lane, a mad urge came over him to brake suddenly, to let the lorry smash into his car and put an end to his self-pity.

His hands were damp — he gripped the steering wheel tightly, forcing his foot to remain on the accelerator. A bead of sweat trickled from his forehead into the corner of one eye and Michael blinked it away, hating himself for being so cowardly an indecisive.

The moment had passed. The moment when he might have taken the quick way out of his misery was gone — perhaps never to return. Because, as his tension slowly evaporated, Michael realised how childish and neurotic he was to think of suicide. Killing himself was the very last resort — and he hadn't yet exhausted all the possibilities of redeeming his life. Not yet.

His affair with Shirley had proved a failure, but so what? There were plenty of other women who would be willing enough to become his mistress. And he might still be able to bring himself to leave Jean…

Michael was forced to smile wryly as he reflected once more that good old sex was at the bottom of it all. The deep, ancient biological urge to fornicate! That was the root of his problem. Give him the opportunity to fuck without remorse, without guilt — and he knew that his salvation would be in sight.

Because sex represented freedom to him. Freedom to prove himself, freedom to show the world that he was an individual, a cut above the mediocre level of his snobbish, insipid neighbours. And yet, for reasons he didn't understand, Jean was unable to fulfil his need in this direction. It may have been simply that she was his lawful wife; there was no element of surprise, of titivation in their relationship. There never had been, Michael recalled. From the very first, Jean and he had been the most perfunctory of lovers — rather wooden, unimaginative in their sex-play.

And although he wanted the challenge of another, younger girl, Michael had been unable to seriously contemplate leaving his wife. Perhaps she represented the bonds which still tied him to his present environment. Or maybe it went deeper than that: he couldn't be sure.

But now that Shirley had left him, he knew that he simply had to make some sort of break from Jean, even if it was only a temporary estrangement. The pressures were again building up in his mind, he could feel his head beginning to ache with the taunting of his newly-awakened ambitions, insistent and demanding.

As he drove, having to slow down now as the homeward-bound commuters caused delays at the roundabouts, Michael thought back to the previous evening and his last encounter with Shirley. She was a girl he'd met one lunch hour; a pretty, if only moderately intelligent young typist whom he picked up in a snack bar without quite realising what he was doing.

He had asked her to pass the sugar bowl and a few minutes later they were in conversation: Michael had never been able to pinpoint the exact moment when his pleasantries turned into flirtation. But when they'd finished their coffee and left together, he knew that for the first time in his life he had calmly and in a public place asked a strange girl to have dinner with him.

The event was so out of character that Michael, during the rest of the afternoon, half-believed he had imagined the meeting. But Shirley was waiting for him that evening in the saloon bar of a pub where they'd arranged to rendezvous and he found himself chatting quite easily to her, as if he'd been doing this sort of thing for years.

The irony was that Michael had frequently spent weekends away from home, letting Jean think that he was sleeping with other women, for years! Now his pretence had suddenly become a reality…

For a week or two they were very happy together. He took her to the theatre, to some of the best restaurants in London and she took him back to her bed-sitting-room in the Fulham Road: a rather dingy, untidy dwelling in one of those ugly and vast houses which abound in Chelsea's “wrong side”.

He grew to love the room, though, because to him it represented the kind of disorderly chaos for which his soul yearned: the complete antithesis to his usual surroundings. He liked to sit on the shabby, Victorian sofa which she'd bought cheaply at a junk shop. He liked to climb the uncarpeted stairs to her room on the third floor and pretend that he lived in the house permanently; that the stockbrokers' and Jean and Cathy and his house in Surrey didn't exist.

And most of all, Michael liked to take Shirley to bed with the sounds of a party reverberating overhead. The music and the voices added an atmosphere of orgy-like daring to their love-making, making him feel that he was at last catching up with the missed opportunities of his youth.

But last night he had seen the room for the cheap, unattractive slum which it really was. The peeling wallpaper, the smell of cooking wafting down the hall, the pathetic attempts Shirley had made to brighten it up…

“How can you stand it here?” he heard himself asking her. “It's so dirty, so sordid — and the people all around you: they're nothing more than a bunch of beatniks and layabouts! You've got quite a good job, you can afford something better than this, surely?”

Shirley had looked at him in surprise. His criticism had come right out of the blue and it shocked her to hear so much supercilious distaste in his voice. She felt at home here; more than that — she wanted to belong in this neighbourhood. It gave her a sense of living in a bohemian community and although she worked as a typist in the City, Shirley entertained hopes of one day throwing up her job and trying to make the grade as an artist.

She had been to art school but so far hadn't been able to summon the courage to show her work to a gallery. Michael had seen some of her pictures; they were modern abstracts and he professed a polite admiration for them while suppressing his private opinion that they were hideous daubs scarcely worth the canvas they were painted on.

Poor Shirley… Michael allowed himself to feel a momentary regret for the sad, lost little girl who would probably never leave her office desk. She would type invoices for the rest of her life (or until she married and settled down in a terraced house somewhere in the suburbs). Her brief artistic flowering would die a painful death, strangled by her own lack of talent and the pressures of the mass media — which exhorted her and thousands of girls like her to live a “normal, healthy, everyday life”.

As soon as he'd voiced his opinion of her home, Michael wanted to bite the words back. Shirley wasn't so very far removed from him after all, he realised. She, too, was struggling to escape from her background — and, like him, she seemed doomed to an early failure.

Before she could reply, he reached out quickly for her hand and pressed her fingers gently. “I'm sorry", he said quietly. “I didn't mean to say that, Shirley. Honestly — I apologise”.

Shirley had shrugged both his remarks away as if they didn't concern her. “What do I care?” she told him. “If you don't think much of it, that's up to you!

He lifted her chin until her lips were in line with his and kissed her. Her body shivered slightly against him and he knew for certain that she had been hurt by his words. He squeezed her tightly, his hands on her backs of her shoulders, fingers feeling her flesh through the thin material of the girl's dress.

Her mouth slowly grew more responsive under the pressure of Michael's lips. She began to pant gently, thrusting her body forward until he felt the hardness of her crotch pushing against his prick.

“Darling!” he breathed when they at last broke for air. “Oh, my darling!” (Wanting to tell her that he loved her but finding the words obstinately sticking in his throat).

Her eyes were still closed, her lips moist from the kiss, Shirley's passion was easily aroused, no more than a sufficiently prolonged kiss serving to make the girl misty-eyed and eager for further intimacies.

Michael's cock stirred upwards as he looked down into her face. She was so very young, not much older than Cathy, in fact. He couldn't help thinking of her, all the same, as an object rather than a person. Shirley represented no more to him than a pliable, beautifully curved body which merged with his and brought him a sweet satisfaction.

Her identity as a separate individual, her existence outside her usefulness as an instrument of pleasure, was vague and lost to him. Small wonder, Michael thought, that the words “I love you” wouldn't come to his lips. They were meaningless… an empty phrase which merely seemed appropriate in this situation: much as “I beg your pardon” was obligatory if you bumped someone in the street.

However, this realisation, far from diminishing his lust, served to intensify it. He slipped his hands down until they encompassed Shirley's buttocks, then raised the girl off her feet — holding her tightly against his body, supporting her by pressing his fingers into the giving cheeks of her bottom.

She wound her arms about his neck, opening her mouth and beginning to nibble softly at his ear lobe as he carried her to the bed.

Michael set her down so that Shirley was standing on the sheets, her breasts level with his face. Keeping his hands on her buttocks — starting to massage the softness of her curves with wandering fingers — he rubbed his cheek against them, feeling the globes flatten slightly and press warmly into his nose. He could hear the girl's heartbeat, thudding with a muffled but distinct rhythm next to his ear.

Shirley was wearing one of her briefest mini-dresses. Its hem scarcely covered her stocking tops, and now that Michael had lifted her up onto the bed the girl's suspender studs were completely exposed — the taut retainers glittering metallically.

He could feel the clips on the inside of her thighs pressing against his stomach. Their pressure excited him, and he twitched her dress higher — hoisting the thin print around Shirley's waist.

Instead of returning his hands to their position on the girl's buttocks, Michael sidled them down a little until his fingers touched the bareness of her skin between her panties and stockings. They caressed the fullness of her thighs, fondling the sleek swell of flesh until Shirley tightened her grip around his neck and began to push her hips backwards and forwards: writhing herself passionately against him.

His fingers slipped further downwards, now touching the exciting silk of the girl's stocking tops. He rubbed them, his fingers tingling as they moved over and around the tightly stretched hose.

Slowly, Shirley let her thighs open, giving him access to the warm, sweet skin of her inner legs. Michael ran his hands firmly around her, stretching his fingertips upwards until they felt the tight swathe of Shirley's panties.

He poked them beneath the elastic and touched the deliciously soft flesh of the girl's bare bottom. The cheeks wobbled invitingly as he prodded them with his forefingers; and he knew that Shirley was deliberately keeping the muscles of her bottom untensed — so that he could enjoy the springy cushions in their sexiest, most relaxed condition.

Forcing himself not to hurry, Michael began to work both hands under Shirley's panties. The black-patterned briefs felt silky against his fingers as he thrust his way beneath them, reluctantly stretching away from their embrace of Shirley's bottom to make way for his caress.

At last his fingers closed fully on the cheeks themselves. Michael held them loosely, jiggling the supple orbs in his hands and beginning a methodical weighing action.

He worked his thumbs into the line which ran around Shirley's arse, that double crease which defined the girl's precious hemispheres, and critically examined the cheeks — using all his fingers to explore every square inch of her bottom.

Shirley's legs had widened even more and the girl was now standing with her thighs wide open. When Michael had for the time being exhausted the possibilities of her arse (stopping himself from actually fingering the hole itself; that was a pleasure he reserved for later), he kept his hands inside her panties and felt down her crotch until his fingers alighted upon Shirley's cunt.

The lips of her sex were very small, scarcely protruding at all. They always excited Michael tremendously, seeming to accentuate the girl's innocence and extreme youth.

She was practically hairless, too; another factor which stimulated the man. A few strands of pubic hair grew on the mound itself, but the flat area around the girl's sex was as pink and unadorned as the day she was born.

Michael felt her flinch and tense as his fingers deliberately roved onto the sensitive place. She increased the pressure of her fingers around his neck, almost hurting him as she waited breathlessly for him to caress his way into her cunt.

He made her wait, delaying the moment when his fingers would ease their way into the warm slit.

Shirley moaned, her head going back and her eyes rolling helplessly.

“Please!” she sobbed at last. “Oh — please!”

He smiled, savouring his power over the girl. His hand rested comfortably on her thigh, his fingers rubbing up and down on her cunt-lips, still not entering the moist hole. His other hand continued to stroke the left cheek of her bottom, making the flesh ripple sexily.

“Oh God!” Shirley moaned. “I can't stand any more! Take me, Michael! Oh please, darling — take me!”

His prick was beating wildly against his trousers, surging upwards within the confines of his pants. Shirley suddenly broke free of his embrace and, falling to her knees on the bed, tore the zip down and ripped the buttons off.

She worked her fingers feverishly at the entrance to his underpants, fumbling his prick out. Gasping with desire, the girl pushed the hard crown between her lips, sucking furiously as soon as she had the tip of his cock in her mouth.

Michael let his hands fall to his side, content for the moment to stand there and allow the girl to enjoy the rich meat of his penis. Her wet lips closed tightly around it, her head going backwards and forwards as she urged more and more of the thick red prick between them.

Wildly, Shirley sucked and petted his cock. She held its base steady with her fingers, keeping the pulsing rod in position, while she ran her tongue over and over the sensitive crown — making it itch furiously with every velvet tickle.

He looked down. The girl was making frantic little noise, her eyes staring at the length of red veined maleness which kept disappearing between her lips and then slipping half out of her mouth again.

Shirley had opened her mouth as widely as possible, but it was still all she could do to contain the enormous width and length of Michael's prick inside the red-portalled orifice. The loose foreskin bulged around her lips, overflowing the pretty mouth, as the girl gobbled greedily on the man's potent and now spasmodically jerking tool.

With every inward draw of Shirley's lips, Michael felt himself getting hornier and harder. The tight pressure of the girl's mouth seemed to be trying to suck the spunk prematurely from his cock. He had, more and more frequently, to forcibly restrain himself from yielding to her lusty urgings…

Why not? Why don't you let her taste it? The idea came abruptly to his mind. Give it to her — go on, let her find out what it's like!

This was the very first time they'd practised this form of petting and Michael wondered for a moment how Shirley would react to having her mouth flooded with his spunk.

But it was increasingly difficult to hold himself back — and, seized by the novelty of the desire, Michael began to urge his prick further and further into the girl's mouth. He felt her trying to hold his cock away; the full length of it between her lips was gagging the girl and she fought against the man's efforts to jam it completely inside her.

Ruthlessly, he brought his hands up and drove his fingers through her hair. Then, holding her head in a vice-like grip, Michael kept her steady while he lunged his prick all the way in…

Right to the hilt it sank, until he could feel Shirley's hot, liquid mouth covering every inch of his straining cock.

He withdrew slightly, only to thrust it forwards again with an even greater determination. Shirley put her hands on his thighs, choking and trying vainly to push him away.

Her nails scrabbled at his legs… and then he felt her submission. Slowly, the girl's desire outgrew her initial fear of the immensity of his weapon and she began to lick her tongue sweetly along the underside of Michael's stiff and pulsing dick.

It quivered like an arrow in its target, the nerves feeling raw and vulnerable as Shirley extended her tongue as far as possible and repeated the caress.

Again and again the girl licked the very tip of her tongue along his length, curling it backwards so that Michael could feel it lapping insatiably around his crown. At the same time, Shirley worked her lips in a side-to-side movement — making them slither with wet fleshiness against the man's fast-jerking prick.

Now that she had herself under control, Shirley slipped her hands from Michael's thighs and caressed then around the backs of his legs. She imitated his earlier fondling: gently stealing her fingers beneath his underpants and massaging the cheeks of his arse.

But she went much further. Her skilful hands eased the straining spheres apart and she coaxed her forefinger slowly and provocatively into his anus.

Insistently and steadily, the girl penetrated his back passage, sticking her finger as deeply into his small orifice as it would reach; and using the remainder of her fingers to softly caress his tender scrotum.

Michael felt himself shivering and trembling with desire. Jean would never, never have done such things to him! This beautiful girl! This wonderful, beautiful, thrilling Shirley!

He panted harshly as her finger wiggled around inside the tightness of his arse. Though it was the never-ceasing gentleness of her fondling at his scrotum which brought him to orgasm finally. Her finger would tickle its way from the hanging sacks of his balls, stroke lovingly and breathtakingly slowly down the hard ridge of flesh… then pause for a moment around the raised bump of his anus before returning by the same route to his testicles again.

And all the time, with her saliva continually moistening his prick, Shirley was sucking and sucking on his fully embedded penis. Sucking as if she wanted to savour the taste of his manhood for ever!

The combination of her attentions was too much to bear for very long. Michael was forced to close his eyes; the room had started to spin helplessly before them and he could scarcely keep his legs from crumpling him to the floor.

A more insistent itching than he had ever experienced welled up in his cock. It seemed to generate from the pit of his stomach and streak like an electric current through his balls. With a muffled shout, he launched his spunk — contracting his arse muscles and urging the thick fluid into Shirley's mouth.

There was one long gushing: immediately followed by several shorter ones. The spunk jetted with manic power, as if it had lain dormant for years inside his testicles.

Michael's fingers clenched into the girl's hair, unable to release her until every drop of his precious sperm had been shed.

And she obediently drew steadily on his prick until she was sure that the last bitter globule had been wrung from its tiny hole. The fluid rushed down the girl's throat, heady nectar which she swallowed with mounting enthusiasm — knowing that she was drinking from the most secret spring of all…

Only when Michael's cock started to wane did he withdraw it from Shirley's lips. Then he half-fell onto the bed, pulling her down beside him. He cuddled the girl tightly, kissing her and tasting the strange but not unpleasant juices on her mouth.

While he rested, waiting for his breathing to become less labored, Shirley completed her task of undressing him. When she had finished, he lay on the bed totally naked. Shirley ran her eyes slowly over his body. He was still a complete stranger to her really, despite the intimacy of their bodies. Perhaps that was all he had wanted from her: uncomplicated sex — with no strings or emotional involvement attached to their relationship.

She sighed. How could it be possible to do what she'd just done to a man and still feel so cold towards him?

Maybe it was her own fault for going to bed with someone so much older than herself, Shirley reflected. He wasn't really her type at all. His eyes were dead. His conversation was stilted. And he had made not the slightest attempt to get close to her — for all their physical knowledge of each other, she felt more remote from him than the newspaper seller on the corner.

At least he hadn't lied to her, though. He hadn't sworn that he loved her when it was transparent to her that he didn't. That was something, she supposed.

All the same, she was clearly wasting her time with him. That was obvious. He was presumably having a few final flings before resigning himself to a dull marriage. She meant nothing to him other than as a symbol of his virility.

And Shirley wanted much more from a man than that. She wanted — .

Michael opened his eyes and immediately noticed the troubled expression in her eyes. He held out his arms and Shirley moved close to him, snuggling up to his body, her stockinged legs crisp against his bare thighs.

She didn't know why she was so complaisant when he reached out for her. She enjoyed their love-making, but the periods in between were growing increasingly flat and tedious. Surely it would be better simply to tell him they were through? End their affair before it was killed by mutual indifference?

Out of indifference, she let her body lie passively against his as Michael began silently to undress her. She moved from time to time to assist him but found no excitement in the ritual.

Michael drew down the small zipper at her hip and released the hook and eye. He pulled the dress up over the girl's thighs, the sight of Shirley's tiny black scanties pasted so tightly to her crotch reawakening his desire.

The panties formed a very sharp vee, coming almost to a point at the slight swelling of her sex. Their sides were cut away to nothing but a flimsy half-inch strip of material — exposing her long thighs and the fleshy curve of her hip.

Shirley helped him to take her arms out of the straps and Michael tugged the dress off completely. She wore a conventional bra which contained her medium-sized breasts in twin cups of black silk.

He reached behind her and unfastened it, lifting the undergarment away from the girl's bosom. Michael stared for a moment at the naked challenge of Shirley's breasts: the orbs wobbling gently as they came free of their restraining bra-cups.

The aureoles around her nipples were larger than usual; brown circles which strongly emphasised the hard red centres. Although Michael had studied them on several previous occasions, he always found Shirley's breasts the most fascinating part of the girl's body.

He left her panties, stockings and suspender belt on — bending his face nearer and nearer to the heart of the girl's right breast. The nipple swung sweetly against his teeth. He opened his mouth and the pearl slipped neatly between his lips, growing stiffer as it came into contact with his exploring tongue.

Michael licked across it tentatively. The teat tasted warm and intimate; a delicious drowsiness began to steal over him as he gently sucked it right into his mouth. He drew it firmly in, taking a generous portion of Shirley's breast between his lips at the same time.

Then his teeth sank in a possessive bite around the soft white flesh, trapping the nipple and its surrounding area of titty. He chewed into the globe, relishing the succulence of the girl's breast with his lips and worrying the fragile orb to and fro.

Meanwhile, Michael's hands wandered leisurely over the rest of Shirley's charms. They fondled slowly down her chest to the flatness of her midriff. He paused there, running his fingers across the girl's tautly nipped-in suspender belt which scored elastically into her skin, just below the curl of her navel.

Michael lifted it up gently, then let it fall with a faint but exciting thwack onto Shirley's flesh again. Still busying his mouth at her breast, he petted his way over her abdomen and caressed the extra-smooth fleshiness of the girl's belly.

She stirred slightly, turning her hips in an exciting though momentary wriggling. Michael's fingers touched the top of her panties; he lifted them away from her stomach tenderly, just enough to slip his fingers beneath the elasticated waistband and feel downwards towards her sex.

They felt the marvellous flatness of Shirley's mons veneris — scarcely a mound at all, so gently did it taper off into nothingness.

He stretched his fingers a little further below the tight fit of her panties. There it was! The tender opening of her precious little quim! Michael rubbed at the tiny opening to Shirley's slit, coaxing the lips apart; urging them to yield and permit his finger to enter the moist honeypot which lay behind the sleek petals.

Shirley trembled again — and gradually raised her buttocks up off the bed, spreading her legs at the same time so that Michael could have the easiest possible access to her cunt.

Once more she felt excited by his clinical detachement as Michael gently opened her and began to insert his forefinger into the hot itchiness of her quim. Before slipping into a blissful enjoyment of what he was doing to her, Shirley realised that it was possible to be aroused sexually by the very treatment which repelled her emotionally.

She was mildly shocked to think that she was lying here, enjoying Michael's extremely subjective caressing of her body. It seemed more immoral, somehow, than the fact that she was committing adultery!

There wasn't the slightest doubt in her mind that this man was thinking exclusively of his own pleasure.

He betrayed the fact with every gesture he made. With every movement of his lips, every caress of his fingers he showed her that he regarded her as a living, breathing, responsive — model!

A figurine on which to practise his lust: that was all she meant to him. And yet Shirley, despising and loathing him for this when they were fully dressed, admitted secretly to herself that she got quite a kick out of the sheer perversity of the situation once they were naked and in bed together.

And now Michael's actions were rendering her quite incapable of introspection and analysis. She felt a rising pleasure at her cunt and nipple which intensified rapidly and relaxed herself to savour the delights.

He was rubbing his finger with the slowest possible movement up and down her slit, not yet penetrating it but giving the girl as much excitement as if the digit was sinking rapidly into her quim and frigging her wildly.

And the teeth had closed even more tightly around the base of her nipple, nibbling with a mock-ferocity on the tender rosebud; causing a throbbing to pass through Shirley's breast which was exciting her almost as much as the ruthless teasing of her ticklish pussy. Her teat was being sucked as it had never been sucked before! She longed to tear it from his mouth, to put an end to the torment which he was subjecting her nipple to. But those sharp teeth! If she dared to snatch it from their tight grasp, surely they would tear her poor, dear little nip right off…

Instead, Shirley reached between Michael's thighs for his prick — determined to make him suffer as sexily as she was.

To her surprise she found that his cock was already stiff and thick again! Her fingers closed around its middle and the hard prick pulsed once more against the palm of her hand.

Shirley started to toy with it, making the ripe, reddened penis jerk madly from side to side. She rubbed it meaningfully against his thighs — first one, then the other — turning the sharply pointed arrowhead so that it pressed painfully downwards and was tickled by the dark hairs on the man's upper leg.

Next, the girl manipulated the foreskin. She drew it up gradually until the loose prepuce completely covered the top of Michael's prick. She held it there for a few moments, then slowly released it. As it slid back into position, Shirley traced her finger right across the very tip of the cock: at the same time turning it rapidly in a tight twirling movement.

She felt Michael shudder with pleasure at this exquisite torment. Carefully, Shirley repeated the caress; now keeping the tip of her finger softly on the tiny piss-hole and working it teasingly over and over the tender spot.

She showed no sign of stopping and Michael was being driven almost insane by this sweetly agonising petting. He could also feel, furthermore, Shirley's other hand reaching across and taking the lower half of his cock loosely between the fingers.

They lazily encircled his raging tool, forming an “O” around the thick stem and frigging slowly up and down his length.

Almost unwittingly, Michael slipped his finger between the wet folds of Shirley's cunt-lips and let it sink to its hilt. The hot, clinging meatiness of her cunt stuck urgently around the digit; she felt so tight, so very tight! Michael thought. Experimentally, he twisted the finger slightly. The plump inner flesh yielded immediately to his gentle thrust — letting him move it about in whichever direction he chose.

His thumb, which had been resting on the very hard bone above Shirley's quim, now edged a half inch downwards. It slipped into the open lips, found the girl's distended clitoris, and began to fondle the gristly protuberance.

At once, Shirley's cunt grew wetter and he realised that he had started a preliminary flow of love-juice. The fluid bathed his fingers in sticky warmth, helplessly seeping from the girl's well-provoked quim.

Michael held the finger steady, waiting until Shirley had spent herself. When he judged that she was over her first orgasm, he allowed her breast to escape the tight hold of his teeth. The fiercely-sucked globe now had a circular weal running around it, making a second aureole where Michael's teeth had done their work. Shirley's breast bobbed sexily as he released it, swaying for a moment or two on the girl's chest — the nipple incredibly large and swollen.

Shirley opened her eyes, fingers still playing tormentingly with his prick.

“Fuck me!” she urged him hoarsely. “Oh, darling, fuck me now! Please!”

He pulled his finger slowly out of her cunt. But before moving it completely away, Michael let it stray deliciously up over the girl's clitoris, giving the sensitive organ a final caress.

Then he rolled his body on top of hers, maneouvering his hands beneath Shirley's bottom and gripping the cheeks tightly. She steered his cock to the lips of her quim; cursed as she had difficulty guiding it into her hole — then gave a heartfelt sigh of relief and pleasure as Michael's prick sank deliriously to its hilt, cramming its horny way up the tight, liquid passageway.

She brought her hands free and he felt her fingers on his back, moving urgently up and down, nails digging frantically into the base of his spine. As his cock began its fierce, thrusting drive in and out of Shirley's cunt, Michael opened the cheeks of the girl's bottom and inserted his forefinger rudely into her rear hole.

She flinched and her haunches stiffened momentarily. But as Michael's finger wormed past the first tightness, the girl relaxed and bravely kept her buttocks supple and loose.

The sleek shanks lifted as Shirley arched her body to make him penetrate her more deeply. Michael could feel the silky rustling of her stockings as she wound her legs around him — and he thrust himself forward and into her willing hole with renewed lust.

Shirley fastened her teeth on his ear-lobe and alternately chewed it and darted her tongue sexily into the tiny, sensitive crevice. Michael's prick seemed to be spurring the girl on to previously unattempted love ploys: she squirmed like a bitch in heat, lunging her crotch upwards with as much force as she could muster.

Her fingers again found his arsehole, played briefly around the nut, then impertinently thrust the sharp-taloned forefinger once more into his orifice — frigging him as if she were wiggling her finger into her own quim…

Together, the man and the girl fondled their respective arses and fucked with demanding, powerful strokes on the bed. Once — and once only — their eyes met and exchanged a brief look of mutual understanding. Then they glanced away again, moving into their private worlds of sexual reverie.

Much too quickly, Michael felt his orgasm welling up. He tried desperately to hold the imminent spunk back, but Shirley was goading him into a state of terrible, overpowering voluptuousness and her loins meshed so frantically against his that to delay the outpouring for more than a few moments proved impossible.

His eyes glazed helplessly, his entire body thirsted for the release that only a violent climax could bring him.

With a roar of mingled rage and passion, Michael gave himself up to the cosmic forces which flooded his being. He thundered his spunk with every atom of his strength into Shirley's cunt: sending his seed in a mighty, single gushing up the deep, tight passage of the girl's vulva.

She came at almost the same instant — locking her body to his and making them one creature, a two backed beast of creaming, spunking lust… straining herself in every muscle, every nerve, to throb out her orgasm in rhythm with her partner…

Michael had been driving the car automatically, his mind reliving in painful detail his final night with Shirley. He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts, bring them back to the present.

But the too-recent memory of the recriminations and abuse which had followed their last sexing haunted him persistently. There was no way in which he could understand what had triggered it off. Probably Shirley herself didn't know. Perhaps it was simply a slow culmination of small, trivial details. Anyway, the actual cause wasn't important.

What mattered, ultimately, was the fact that she had rejected him. Had seen through his inadequately assumed role of attentive lover and ordered him out of her life. Would the pattern be repeated? That was the question which worried Michel intensely.

Could it be that he was totally incapable of giving and receiving love? That he used people — seeing in them nothing more than extensions of his own desires?

He slowed the car again and turned left down the secondary road which led to Farnham. After leaving Shirley's, he had spent the night in a hotel and then gone straight to the office. Jean would probably be waiting for him with that sad, pleading expression on her face; but he knew that she would never voice the fears which it concealed.

That wasn't done, old boy! Hardly the right thing to do, to bring delicate matters like that out into the open, is it? Simply not cricket!

Just what he was trying to do to her, Michael refused to contemplate. Possibly drive her away, though he knew she would never take the initiative and leave him. Not for the first time, he felt himself to be caught inextricably in a web of uncertainty; a maze of confusing and conflicting desires seemed to envelop him, leaving him empty and unable to take decisions.

Through the mood he managed to cling to the one idealistic wish which seemed to possess some substance: the fierce longing to break right away from the existence in which he was trapped and do all the things he had yearned for as a young man. Burst out of his enervating shell and live — for the first time in his life.

Michael was now entering his home town of Farnham. The rows of neat, semi-detached houses seemed to stretch to infinity; extending as far as the eye could see, only broken by a scattering of small shops and the occasional church.

He turned down Princes Road and parked the car outside his house. The spring evening was warm and pleasant. Elm trees planted at regular intervals on the sidewalk were beginning to burst into leaf, the grass from newly-mown gardens smelled sweet and fresh.

Michael paused for a moment after locking his car and stood on the pavement looking down the hill. From this vantage point he could see not only the town but the surrounding countryside. It looked rich and verdant in the slowly setting sun, a mixture of browns and greens which faded to the horizon in an even, regular pattern.

Everything was so peaceful, so well-planned, he thought. And it was easy to allow yourself to become a part of the landscape; to abandon the impossible dreams which haunted you and grow as unchanging and neatly ordered as your environment.

That was what happened to nearly everyone, he realised. The temptation to settle down in a comfortable rut was very strong. It absolved you from doing anything but ensuring that your routine was not interrupted. All you had to do was be competent at your work, polite to your neighbours, disguise your real feelings, attend the local functions — and lose your true identity in a regular, uninterrupted ritual of trivial, mind-consuming activities.

Michael straightened his shoulders and pushed the gate open. He walked up the path slowly, hearing his shoes crunch into the gravel.

There was still a chance for him to escape, he told himself. Gradually, he vowed he would learn how to break away completely from his present life. It might take time, but he would do it. It wasn't too late to start again — perhaps in another country…

The craving in him for excitement and novelty was too acute now to ever be suppressed again. Somehow, he would find the determination to free himself of these shackles.

Meanwhile, there was Jean — waiting in the house for him, her recriminations unspoken but slowly widening the gap which existed between them. Michael put his key in the lock and pushed the door open. Another hour or two of silent reproach… followed by his usual, halfhearted attempts to treat her sympathetically and kindly. Followed in turn by a quick, equally unrewarding session of love-making.

The knowledge that he would again repeat this stupid, meaningless ritual made him angry: both with himself and with Jean for not seeing through it. He slammed the door harshly behind him, the sudden noise resounding through the strangely quiet house…

He took his coat off and threw it untidily onto the chair in the hall. As he moved into the kitchen he was struck again by the unusual silence. Jean and Monique should be busily preparing the evening meal at this time of the day. The house ought to be echoing with the clatter of pans, the smell of food cooking.

Michael frowned as his eyes took in the complete absence of activity in the kitchen. He turned back into the hall, then stopped suddenly as a faint giggling reached his ears. It seemed to come from upstairs…

He listened intently. There it was again! He paused at the foot of the stairs, one hand on the bannister.

“Oh, stop it! Please — you mustn't!”

A girl's voice, protesting half-heartedly, the words broken up with excited laughter. Michael recognised it was Monique's, heard the trace of a French accent in the muffled, indistinct phrase.

He started up the stairs, deliberately making as little noise as possible. There was something that struck him as being rather odd about the cry, something intriguing…

He turned the bend in the stairs and saw that their bedroom door was ajar. A rustling sound came from within the room, and the faint whisper of girl's voices. Michael, impelled by some mysterious instinct, moved to the wall which ran alongside the door. He flattened himself against it, feeling at once guilty and excited by the prospect of spying on his wife and their au pair girl.

Through the crack in the door he could see scarcely nothing: a vague blurring of outlines which merely increased his curiosity without satisfying it. He put his face up to it and fastened his eye close to the long hinged opening, using it as peephole.

He was now able to see quite distinctly into the room. And he blinked rapidly, unable to believe that his eye wasn't deceiving him!

Jean and Monique were standing in front of their dressing table mirror, wearing only their panties and stockings, Jean stood behind the French girl, running her hands slowly up and down the backs of Monique's thighs and crouching slightly so that her fingers were able to reach the tautly fastened stocking tops.

Monique's legs were astride, her own hands planted firmly on her hips; She stared appreciatively into the big mirror, her head on one side, her breasts thrust out provocatively.

Jean's breasts were pushing intimately into the white flesh of Monique's back — the nipples rubbing into the girl's skin just above the black band of her brassiere.

They were both giggling conspiratorially and as Michael watched, his mouth opening in sheer surprise, Jean slipped her fingers up the smoothness of Monique's thighs and ran them boldly over the girl's bottom. She raised the panties delicately, drawing them into the arse-crease and exposing the firm plump cheeks more completely.

Spellbound, Michael stared at the sexiness of the scene, his throat suddenly dry. Unconsciously, he passed his tongue slowly over his parched lips. This wasn't really happening, he thought wildly. It could not be! Jean wasn't like that…

But the evidence before him clearly indicated that the girls were engaged in something rather more intimate than a mere feminine admiration of their bodies. Having made Monique's panties practically disappear into the girl's ripe divide, Jean was now pinching the bare globes between her forefingers and thumbs — holding a generous portion of the white flesh and jiggling it: making the rest of the cheeks wobble saucily.

Again, he heard Monique's half-hearted protest: “Jean — don't! Oh, cheri, what do you think you're doing? Please!”

Even if he had been unable to see her face (and the mirror clearly reflected Monique's expression) Michael could tell from the tone of her voice that the girl didn't object in the slightest to Jean's pinching. She had formed her mouth into a pert pouting oh — at the same time wiggling her buttocks slightly and making no attempt to free her bottom from the woman's fingers.

Jean now went down behind Monique, dropping onto her knees and staring from a distance of no more than a few inches into the French girl's buttocks. Her hands remained on the cheeks, continuing their not-too-rough nipping of the curvy flesh.

“There now!” she whispered softly. “Did I hurt your pretty little bum, darling? Here — let me kiss it better!”

And Michael's wife pursed her lips, brought them into contact with Monique's bottom and began to plant wet, noisy little kisses on the jutting hemispheres. Far from resenting this greater intimacy with her body, Monique deliberately thrust her buttocks backwards, silently encouraging Jean to continue her mouth-petting.

She also took the waistband of her panties in the fingers of both hands and drew it up firmly; making the creamy-white briefs stretch even more tightly into her crotch.

Jean put her arms around Monique's thighs, her hands slipping beneath the long white elastic of the girl's suspender fastenings so that the bands formed two securing straps on the back of her wrists. She held Monique tightly, caressing her shapely thighs and kissing her again and again on her sexy little bottom.

The audible smacks of her lips on Monique's flesh reached Michael's ears clearly. He was more amazed than shocked by the revelation that Jean could do such things to another girl; his surprise outweighing any sense of outrage which he might have felt if the news had been broken to him less dramatically.

His eye was beginning to smart — a draught from the open window inside the room causing him to blink away the moisture which was obscuring his vision. And as he pressed it once more against the crack, he inadvertently leaned forward…

The door creaked open, and he drew back from it immediately — a tic starting at the corner of his mouth. The girls gave a sudden gasp and he heard them moving in the room.

Michael almost panicked, nearly ran as quickly as possible back down the stairs in terrible confusion. Then he angrily reminded himself that he had done absolutely nothing to feel ashamed of. It was his wife and Monique — they were the ones to blush and hide themselves. He stepped forward again, pushed the door wide open and walked into the bedroom.

“Michael!” Jean was coming towards him almost before he had entered the room. He looked beyond her to Monique. The girl had snatched up a dressing gown and was still trying to pull it on — her arms twisting behind her back and forcing her naked breasts to thrust themselves out. He saw that the nipples were stiff and red and wondered if Jean had held them and rubbed them…

“Darling, I didn't hear you come in!” She was smiling at him, making not the slightest attempt to cover her practically nude body.

“Monique and I were just seeing if we take the same sizes in underwear. She's running a bit low and since I've got so many bras and pants that I haven't even worn yet, I thought I could let her have some…”

Michael stared at her, disbelief written all over his face. Jean appeared either not to notice or to ignore the look of incredulity in her husband's eyes. Calmly she went on:

“Isn't it lucky? Although our breasts are different sizes, my pants and stockings seem to fit her perfectly. Don't they, Monique?” She turned, looking over her shoulder at the au pair girl.

“Y-yes, Jean", Monique stammered. She had finally managed to draw the robe around her and was now twisting her fingers nervously.

“Come here, dear. There's no need to be shy. Michael's seen a naked girl before, you know. Anyway, you're not much older than our own daughter.

Is she, Michael?”

He still hadn't found his voice. He kept staring at Jean, unable to recognise in this poised, sexy looking girl his mousy, quietly-shy wife. Michael could only stand there in front of her, his mouth comically open in amazement, watching as Monique came slowly across the room to stand next to the confident, unabashed woman whom he could scarcely believe was his wife.

“Show Michael how well they fit you, darling!” Jean was saying. “Come along, you don't have to be coy and bashful! I'd like Michael to see how similar our figures are, despite the difference in our ages!”

When the girl looked uncertainly from her to Michael and back again, Jean reached out for the cord which held her robe together.

“Oh, really Monique!” she exclaimed with a smile. “How on earth did all those stories about sexy French girls start if they're all as shy as you!” Her fingers swiftly plucked the knot undone and Monique's dressing gown fell open, uncovering the girl's skimpy briefs and blatantly sexy suspender and stockings.

It opened sufficiently to expose half of her breasts, but the edges remained in place across Monique's nipples, keeping them hidden from Michael's involuntary appraisal.

He ran his eyes instinctively over the girl's semi-nude body, feeling as if he had suddenly been plunged into an erotic daydream. But the fantasy was three dimensional and he could also smell the sweet, arousing perfume which both his wife and Monique were wearing. Michael was suddenly aware that his life had switched into another gear: what was happening now was so utterly, so fantastically out of the ordinary that it was something like moving into a new and totally alien existence. As if, (he remembered a half-forgotten science-fiction story) as if parallel worlds did exist and he had abruptly been transported from the one in which a mediocre, bored and humdrum Michael Cameron lived into a dimension where the same man, with the same wife and day-to-day routine, was subtlely different in one major respect: he was free from all sexual prudery and inhibition!

Jean tutted impatiently at Monique. “Really, darling", she protested crossly. “Why don't you slip the robe off altogether? Look at me — I'm wearing as little as you are, and I'm not embarrassed,

am I?”

She gave Michael a brief smile which seemed to bring him more fully into the game of getting Monique to strip off her dressing gown. If, Michael reflected, if it really was only a game…

His wife moved behind Monique and put her hands down over the girl's shoulders. She took the lapels of her robe and slowly helped Monique's arms out of the sleeves, peeling it gently away from the nipples — which Monique quickly covered with her hands as soon as the cherries popped into view.

Jean let the robe drop to the floor. Keeping her arms on Monique's shoulders, she said: “What do you think, Michael? Don't my panties fit her perfectly?”

She turned Monique around until the girl faced her. “Look at the back view, darling! You'd never know they hadn't been bought specially for her, would you?”

Michael could feel his prick stiffening as he stared at Monique's bottom. The white silk of the panties was still drawn right up into the girl's arse-crease — leaving the cheeks themselves completely unadorned. They had two darling little dimples on the far side of each globe where Monique had tightened the muscles. He longed suddenly to licked them, to put his tongue where Jean's own lips had been…

Jean followed his eyes. “Oh!” she exclaimed. “They're not really supposed to look like that! We were just fooling about — ”. At last, his wife had the grace to blush slightly. Her eyes twinkled, though, and Michael's cock thickened and bulged noticeably out of his trousers as Jean stretched her hands right down Monique's bare back and primly pulled the girl's briefs back into a more respectable position.

Michael finally found his voice. “I thought they looked better before you adjusted them, Jean", he heard himself saying. And it was as if the words had come from a source other than his own mouth. They sounded deeper and more breathy than his normal tone, and Michael realised that his desire was mounting rapidly.

The close proximity of the two girls was driving him crazy. Monique's body was obviously pushed so tightly against Jean's that their breasts must be touching! And their tummies… certainly their bellies were pressing together. And what about their panties? Yes! Definitely, the vee of their crotches would be moving and, perhaps even pulsing, next to one another…

Michael cleared his throat. He slipped his hand into his trouser pocket and gave his prick a surreptitious press. It strained urgently against his fingers, warning him that he couldn't stand very much more of this sexy scene without playing an active role in it.

Jean now moved from her position behind Monique and gave the girl's bottom a critical look. “Mmmm", she said at last. “Perhaps you're right!',

Her fingers again adjusted the tightly clinging material of Monique's panties, hoisting them firmly into the French girl's arse and letting them rub sensuously across the pretty white orbs before leaving them.

“Does that feel too tight, though?” she asked the girl. He saw Monique's head shake. Her hands still covered her breasts though her back was turned towards the man.

In a small, husky voice she whispered: “No, I like them better that way, Jean”. She began to turn around of her own accord. “What about the front, though? Isn't it fashionable to wear your panties as small as possible now?” Her lilting French accent was slowly driving Michael insane. “Could you tuck them up for me, Jean darling?”

Monique's face was coloured, her eye lashes fluttering nervously. But she obediently allowed Jean to stoop down in front of her and persuade her thighs open with a gentle pressure from her fingers.

Michael's wife fitted her hands shamelessly under the white silk, keeping her own body out of the way so that her husband could have an uninterrupted view of Monique's thinly-covered sex… and could also see clearly what she was about to do with it.

First, Jean took the V of the briefs in her fingers and tugged it gently upwards. This action caused the seat of the panties to sink sexily into Monique's slit — at the same time making the bulge above the girl's quim stick out on either side of the material.

This was provocative enough; but Jean now commenced to tuck the garment boldly up, doubling the already abbreviated panties so that they finally looked like nothing more than a stripteaser's G-string.

Jean moved her head back to admire her handiwork from a distance. “There!” she exclaimed. “I think that looks very nice indeed! What's your opinion, Michael?”

He nodded slowly, not trusting himself to speak. Monique was the picture of demure, artfully disarrayed sexiness. The girl's well-shaped legs, small waist and flared hips, together with her now daringly minute panties, gave her the appearance of a strikingly experienced yet somehow innocent child. Probably it was the attitude of her hands, still clasping her young breasts tightly, which contributed the innocence to her other qualities.

Michael hadn't realised before what a very pretty girl Monique was! He had scarcely given her a second glance when she arrived at the house. She was a companion and helper for Jean, that was all.

Now, he could see what a voluptuous and beautiful young creature she was! Standing before them, blushing shyly, Monique aroused a sharp desire in him which ached for satisfaction.

He didn't even begin to question Jean's motives in arranging this sexy display of their charms. For the moment all Michael could think of was the sheer delight of their combined bodies. His mind sought frantically to somehow prolong (and extend) the erotic situation.

“Your pants look very odd beside Monique's,” he said with sudden inspiration. “They're so large, so old fashioned, Jean. Why don't you wear them as brief as Monique, darling? Go on — pull them up! Let me see if you can get the same effect”.

Jean smiled. “I've got a better idea", she told him. “Monique, would you like to adjust my panties for me?” Her eyes met the French girl's and Michael was sure that he detected a familiar, secret intimacy flash between his wife and Monique.

Then, as Monique began to kneel down in front of Jean, finally removing her hands and letting him see her breasts, he dismissed the thought as nothing more than idle fancy.

He unbuttoned his jacket and threw it to the bed, settling himself in the easy chair and loosening his tie — ready to savour every moment of the girls' delicious fashion parade.

Monique imitated Jean's arrangement of her briefs, carefully pulling the panties into a taut and rucked-up strip of silk over the woman's crotch. Jean posed for her husband, placing her feet firmly astride and letting her hips sway in a tantalising undulation. Her much plumper pubic mound was almost completely visible — the now cord-like pants merely drawing attention to the thick lips on either side of her sex-slit.

“Much better!” Michael commented. “What about your bottom, though? Shouldn't they be twitched up at the back as well?”

Jean put her finger to her lips in mock-reprimand. “Of course they should!” she exclaimed. “How stupid of me! Monique darling — would you mind…?”

She turned slowly around to present them with her back view. Monique began to tug the black, glossy briefs firmly up into the crease — but Jean stopped her.

“Here, let me make it easier for you to judge the appearance", she said. And deliberately bent down, practically touching her toes. The ripe spheres of her bottom pouted rudely at the man and girl, ample white globes that were already overflowing their scanty briefs.

Michael could hear Monique's heavy breathing as she took the hem between her fingers and drew it right away from Jean's cheeks and tucked it securely into the woman's arse-divide.

When the girl straightened up and moved away, Jean remained in her bent-over position. The thin line of her silken panties was now all but hidden by the lips of her quim. They stuck with a breathtakingly clear obviousness over the taut material — the whole of Jean's cunt and arse being completely visible to the watching man and girl.

Jean wriggled her buttocks from side to side, showing off her sex to them without the slightest hint of embarrassment. Michael finally got up from his chair and walked the few paces which brought him close to his bending wife.

He put his hand on the back of her thigh, slowly bringing it upwards in a caressing movement until his fingers roved over the warm surface of her bottom. They fondled leisurely at the soft cheek, then drew it carefully aside, displaying Jean's practically naked cunt more fully.

“Very sexy', he remarked. “I don't think I've ever seen you looking quite so provocative, darling!”

He kept his hand on her buttocks, making the bare cheek wobble gently under the pressure of his fingers. Jean stayed in her slave-like position, arms hanging limply towards the floor. Michael passed his other hand beneath her and idly fondled one of her breasts.

The hard-nippled orb rested sweetly under his loosely caressing fingers, and the man began to swing it slowly from side to side — feeling the heavy globe of white flesh move pendulously in whichever position he commanded…

Huskily, her voice unable to conceal her naked sexual longing, Jean murmured: “Shall I admit something to you, Michael? About Monique and myself?”

He tensed and a pulsing excitement raced through his body. It was as if he had passed his finger quickly over a live wire; the shock was not so much an electrical jolt as a sharp stab of fear at a sudden narrow escape. Part-pleasure, part-nervous tension.

Michael tried to keep his voice calm and casual. “Yes, tell me, Jean. What about Monique and you? What have been up to?” He continued to rub her arse-cheek and gently milk her breast.

“You promise not to be angry?” She felt so incredibly soft and feminine…

“How can I tell? I don't know yet what you've done, do I?” Her nipple was so hard, so terribly hot…

“We weren't just trying on panties and stockings, Michael. We went further than that”. “Yes?”

“We touched each other; felt each other… the way you're feeling me now!”

“I see…” What would it be like to watch the two of them fondling and caressing? Holding each other in the most lascivious embraces he could devise?

“You're not angry? You won't be too cross with me, darling?”

“No, I won't be cross…” He could scarcely force the words out, his mouth felt so dry.

“I promise not to do it again, Michael”. She was so meek, so maddeningly coy! Her fine, supple legs, feet well astride, stockings sticking so-tightly to her thighs… how could he be angry with her?

Michael realised suddenly that Monique was only a few feet away. The girl had melted into the background during their exchange and was standing near the bed, her fingers interlaced across her rudely displaced panties.

In a voice that he could still not quite recognise as his, Michael said: “Come here and show me what you did, Monique. Let me see how you touched each other — I promise not to be cross with you — with either of you!”

He gave Jean's nipple a final tweak, then released the bud. Her breast shook in a shivery, wobbling movement and Michael moved away.

Jean straightened herself, breathing heavily. As she faced them, she tugged her panties up — seeming to be unaware that this extra leverage had caused the briefs to slip right away from her cunt: leaving the jewelled lips totally naked. The panties were gathered up at the side of the woman's crotch, serving no useful purpose whatsoever.

She held out her arms to Monique. “We'd better do what he says, darling", she whispered. “If we don't, Michael will be terribly angry with us!”

Monique moved slowly into Jean's embrace, her pretty face flushed, her body visibly trembling.

Michael sat in the chair again, crossing his legs so that the horniness of his prick wasn't too obvious to the girls. Jean planned all this! he thought. She deliberately engineered the whole thing! But explanations would have to wait. He knew that it was simply impossible for him to act he outraged husband. She had aroused him far too intensely and he would have to see it through.

For the moment he could think of nothing but the sight of his wife and Monique drawing into a warm and intimate embrace — their excitingly near-naked bodies pressing together as their arms went about each other's waists.

His eyes felt heavy, his pulse began to race… They were actually kissing! Their lips had met in a lewd, lesbian mingling — pushing harder and harder together until he could see their tongues meeting in a wanton, perverse tasting!

Every part of their bodies was touching: Jean's large, ripe breasts joined with Monique's more youthful, smaller titties and rubbed with growing passion against the girl's hard, pointy nipples. Their tummies writhed lustfully, their cunts pressed together, their silk-clad thighs made a steady, static rustling as they began to move in a rhythmical, swaying dance… with their feet motionless on the floor.

Michael saw clearly enough that they were deliberately putting on a “performance” for his benefit. They had themselves under control, carefully slowing down their love-play so that he could savour every caress, every movement of their wonderful bodies.

But far from detracting from his pleasure, this deliberation excited him all the more. He watched intently as Jean's hands stole down Monique's back, feeling beneath the girl's panties and moving around the upper slopes of her bum-cheeks.

This action caused the waistband of the briefs to ride down a little, revealing the valley between Monique's arse-globes in all its bare splendour. Jean dipped her knees slightly — Monique's mouth bear-ring down on hers — so that she was able to pull the bikini pants right over the gorgeous cheeks and show Michael the girl's bottom in its truly naked condition.

To encourage his admiration she caressed the sweet globes for him; running the fingers of both hands slowly and beautifully down the fleshy slopes — lifting the cheeks and holding them apart for a brief, tantalising second, then squashing them tightly together again.

She did this again, seeming to derive as much enjoyment from her manipulation of Monique's bottom as Michael. Again and again she forcibly prised open the girl's nutty treasure trove, offering its deep, hidden orifice for the man's inspection.

Then, the girls moving with an almost balletic grace, they turned slowly around until it was Jean's backside which confronted Michael.

She was receiving the same treatment from Monique's hands — or rather, a similar treatment, since the French girl was giving Jean an even more intimate caress. Her fingers had also worked the woman's panties down off her bottom, but instead of contenting themselves with a loving massage of the cheeks, Monique was rubbing them in a slow-motion fondling up and down the crease itself!

Jean's body was still bent at the knee, and from his enviable vantage point Michael could see with absolute clarity the tiny orifice of his wife's arse as it was continually stroked by Monique's long, slender fingers.

He breathed more heavily than ever, forced now to uncross his legs and rest his hand on the angrily swelling rod of his prick to ease its furious pulsing.

Jean and Monique were still kissing: so far their lips had not broken away and showed no signs of parting. In fact, their faces were working passionately, mouths thrust urgently together, and Michael knew that their tongues were busily exploring every tooth, every gum — slipping alternately into each other's mouths and French-kissing with complete disregard for his presence in the room.

When they at last brought their lips away the tense atmosphere was broken by the sound of their deep gasping for air. Their chins rested on one another's shoulders, their eyes closed tightly. Jean, after a few moments pause to catch her breath, began to kiss the creamy skin of Monique's upper arm — sidling her mouth along the girl's shoulder and bending her head so as to reach Monique's tender, fleshy muscle.

Her beautifully long black hair fell across both their breasts, concealing the rubbing melons from Michael's vision. But only for a few seconds.

Monique released Jean's bottom, freeing one hand so that it could slide up between their bodies and brush the thick tresses out of the way. Her fingers closed over the very tip of Jean's titty — the one nearest to Michael — and the man's prick gave another spastic jerk as the girl began to squeeze his wife's nipple…

Not satisfied with merely petting Jean's teat into a ripe, red flowering, Monique steered it carefully until it rubbed sexily against her own nipple, then took both of their tit-stalks between her forefinger and thumb and treated them to a prolonged, fantastically thrilling fondle.

Jean sucked for several minutes at Monique's upper arm, then removed her mouth and stared lustfully at the red blotch she had raised on the girl's white flesh. She turned her eyes slowly until they met Michael's.

“She's beautiful, isn't she, darling?” Jean whispered. “Her skin tastes so sweet, so very, very sweet! Shall I take her to the bed and show you what we did to each other this afternoon? Shall I?”

Michael nodded quickly, his cock now so rigid within the confines of his trousers that he was forced to stand up and unzip them. Neither girl paid him any attention as they moved, arms tightly about each other's waists, to the bed. He took them off completely, then rolled his underpants down — feeling an enormous relief as his penis at last wobbled free of its restricting enclosures.

The curtains at the windows were already drawn and as the room darkened with the approach of twilight, Jean reached out and switched the bedside lamp on. Its flowery pink shade filtered the light into a gentle, opaque glow which bathed the girl's bodies in a becoming, rather mysterious shade of pale crimson.

Michael stripped off his shirt and vest. He felt his body shiver, knowing that the tremor was due to acute sexual excitement rather than the slight chill in the room. He moved to the foot of the bed and sat down, facing towards the girls — who were already locked in another embrace, lying sideways to face each other and once more straining their soft bodies together…

Jean stroked her hand down Monique's hip and firmly, insistently pushed the girl's thighs open. She made Monique lie with her legs splayed — quickly tugging her flimsy, pathetically inadequate panties all the way down over her stockings: leaning forward for a moment to drag them off her ankles, then resuming her position next to Monique's warm cuddly body.

Her right hand again alighted on the girl's outspread thigh, now caressing with her parted fingers the satin-smooth inside of Monique's leg. She gave the girl a tender, sweetly extended massage — occasionally permitting her hand to stray further upwards and brush meaningfully against Monique's pink quim-gash.

Monique would shyly attempt to squeeze her thighs together to ward off the dangerously intrusive fingers and, each time, Jean would patiently push them apart again — giving the girl a soft kiss on her mouth and reassuring her with her eyes that she had nothing to fear.

Finally, after many preliminary sorties, Jean allowed her fingers to actually descend on the innocent lips and tickle them open.

She slipped the tips into Monique's wound and strummed them gently along the moist mouth, playing the girl as if she was a delicate instrument. The first joint of each finger curled over, working just inside the juicy slit and very slowly insinuating the inner lips apart.

While Jean toyed in this manner with her cunt, Monique positioned her own hands on the woman's bottom. The girl kneaded the rounded cheeks more brutally this time — pinching large folds of the bum-flesh between her fingers, then letting them slowly escape: gradually covering Jean's buttocks with angry-looking red marks.

Soon, however, she was sufficiently aroused by Jean's growing liberties with her quim to venture a slim finger between the latter girl's thighs.

Monique lifted Jean's leg and traced the digit firmly across the very centre of her cunt. Jean lowered the outstretched limb across Monique's hips, giving the French girl every encouragement.

Michael, now holding his inflamed penis tightly in his hand, saw Monique's finger sink beautifully into his wife's sex. It pushed succulently between the thick petal-lips and disappeared from sight — buried completely within Jean's raw and naked pussy.

She started to frig it slowly in and out, using her remaining fingers to tickle wantonly at the hot, moist length of the woman's slit.

They kissed yet again — and Michael knew that this time they had genuinely forgotten that what they were doing to each other was being witnessed by a third party. Their passion was mounting visibly, their lust growing wild and anxious for release. Jean's free hand groped desperately for Monique's breast… found and squeezed the precious melon in an agitated, furious fondling.

Moaning deliriously, the an pair girl clasped Jean's titty with a similar fury. Then, as if a starting pistol had been fired, the girls began a simultaneous fucking movement with their hips — driving their loins wildly with harder and harder strokes onto the fingers which were penetrating their cunts.

“Oh God! Oh, my darling!” Jean gasped suddenly. “I'm starting to come! I can't stop myself, darling! I can't!!”

Monique's fingers sped faster into her quim, wiggling and frigging into Jean's tight red pussy. She threw her head back, her mouth opening in a helpless, despairing cry:

“Oh, so am I, cheri! Oh, Jean, hurt me! Hurt me, my darling!! Feel me coming…!”

The silent spectator to their sport worked his fingers tightly up and down his prick. His wife and Monique suddenly stopped their threshing and remained for perhaps thirty seconds with only their thighs quivering. His own lust approaching boiling point, Michael realised that they were at this very moment jetting their girl-spunk out of their hot, damp cunts and splashing the foamy juice onto each other's fingers!!

Making a tremendous effort, he managed to contain his sperm. He wanted to be in a completely excited state when his turn came — and Michael knew that as soon as Jean and Monique had recovered their breath he was going to push his body between the two girls and fuck them until they begged him for mercy…

3

But before Michael could move, Jean rolled herself free of Monique's embrace and threw herself into his arms.

“Darling!” she gasped. “Oh, my darling! Let me explain why we did this…” Her body, wet from the heat of Monique's lust, pressed nudely against his; her glistening breasts like twin cushions on his bare chest.

“I wanted to — ”.

“It doesn't matter, Jean”. Michael's voice was thick with emotion, his senses reeling, his prick a surging shaft of pure animal desire. Even without the intimate closeness of Jean's body he would have been unable to contain his lust. But with his wife's naked flesh rubbing against his own…

He locked his arms around her back and slowly fell forward on top of her, making her fall backwards onto the bed beside Monique. His legs pushed their way between Jean's thighs, forcing them open.

The panties were still twisted up around her loins, gathered in a tight, dishevelled bundle across Jean's thighs. Michael reached his hand between their bodies and lifted them up — making room for his prick to thrust beneath the briefs and begin to ease its hot, dynamic length into her cunt.

“No…”, Jean moaned. “Let me explain first, darling. Let me tell you — ”.

But the crown of his cock was already sinking between her quim-lips — driving thickly into her soaking sex and making the hole stretch elastically open. She could feel the fleshy arrowhead starting to pulse… its foreskin drawn sharply back as Michael fucked his prick urgently into her tight and heated pussy.

Jean clutched at his shoulders, her fingernails pressing painfully into the muscular flesh. Michael grew even more passionate as they scored his skin and then raked frenziedly down his back. He violently pushed the rest of his prick into her cunt — cramming her, thrusting his fiery weapon into her softness, until his crotch rubbed against hers: their pubic hairs mingled together.

His temple was throbbing, a hot and insatiable redness welling up in his eyes. Michael stretched his hands down to Jean's thighs again and tugged the woman's panties up… taking the waistband and drawing the elastic top ruthlessly higher and higher.

She began to sob, arching her body up as if she couldn't get enough of his prick. He quickly pulled her silky briefs over the cheeks of her bottom, feeling their taut vee-front rubbing sexily against the base of his prick; the tightly stretched pants feeling like a constant caress on the tender underside of his penis.

He slipped his hands up the sides of Jean's body, glorying in the soft fleshiness of her skin. His elbows helped him to prop his chest away from her breasts and Michael let his fingers descent onto the beauties, slowly rolling them about his wife's body, making them assume a variety of titivating shapes.

They were squashed sexily together, the pliable globes rubbed against their twins in a breathtaking embrace; causing a deep and inviting valley to appear between them…

Then he relaxed the pressure and let them swing gently back into their normal position, keeping his hands softly on the nipples. He next drew them as far away from each other as they would stretch — holding Jean's titties apart and flattening them with his palms.

Finally, in rhythm with his fucking of her cunt, Michael imprisoned his wife's nipples between the forefingers and thumbs of both hands and pinched them cruelly upwards.

This caused her breasts to distend, taking on a pear-like appearance. Michael jiggled the nipples, moving them up and down… to the left and to the right, staring down, fascinated, as Jean's snowy peaks wobbled freely under his treatment.

He was screwing her viciously now: his prick coursing in and out of her juicy little cunt with hard, manic strokes. The slit was made even tighter than usual by the constraining pressure of the woman's panties; they prevented her thighs from opening too much and thus ensured that Jean's quim-lips fastened very securely indeed around Michael's cock.

When he had first entered her, Michael thought that he could only last a few minutes before shooting his spunk. But now, becoming aware that Monique was watching their every movement, he found the stamina to restrain himself.

It seemed banal, but he was determined to show the girl that he wasn't a five-minute-man! He wanted Monique to see that he was capable of giving Jean a far longer (and far more intense) pleasuring than she had! A further inspiration occurred to him:

Why not encourage Monique to come closer and allow him to fondle her at the same time?

Michael glanced at the girl. She lay on her side, facing them, her eyes bright and unblinking as they stared at the fucking couple.

He released one of Jean's breasts and reached out his hand to her. Monique slowly moved nearer. She trembled as Michael's fingers came to rest on her hip, but offered no resistance to him when his hand started to stroke the flesh and nudge her body closer to them.

Within a few moments Monique's bottom was within easy reach of his hand. He let it slip around the girl's waist and, forcing her to keep looking into his eyes, he rubbed his fingers down the sleek slopes of her arse.

They gently explored the luscious cheeks, now rubbing, now pinching… Michael, on an inspired impulse, worked his other hand beneath his wife's buttocks and started to give her the same treatment.

A feeling of intense power surged through him as he felt the two female bottoms. Monique's naked and completely bare; Jean's covered scantily by her tiny bikini briefs.

Greedily, his fingers travelled over the four soft hemispheres, fondling and sinking lusciously into the beautiful feminine arses.

They were his slaves! His hand-maidens! His to do whatever he liked with! Michael felt a shudder of pure ecstasy tingle through his body. They really were, he told himself, gleefully. Both Jean and Monique: their bodies eager to do his bidding! Moving willingly in whichever pose he directed!

Well, supposing he exercised his power over them a little more… He worked his fingers between the curvy slopes of Monique's bottom, pushing the cheeks apart and feeling for the precious hole of her arse — the brown secrets of which he'd glimpsed earlier…

Understanding what he was trying to do, Monique obediently stuck her buttocks out, making the globes open for him. Michael rubbed the pads of his fingers up and down the deep valley — feeling them pass over the raised bump of the girl's rear orifice.

While the hand which cupped Jean's bottom contented itself with a steady kneading, he slowly pushed the forefinger of his left hand into Monique's ripe young arsehole. She squirmed deliciously, offering a token resistance to this outrageous liberty. But, obviously, her desires had been aroused to such an extent by Jean's earlier ministrations — as well as by her first sight of a man and women fucking — that Monique soon relaxed her body completely and durance by the constant pressure of Monique's finger against the ultra-sensitive underside.

He could feel the floodgates opening. Against his will, Michael felt an overwhelming tickling beginning to well up in his cock — the spunk crying out frantically for release — bubbling up in his testicles and demanding to start that long, intense streaking action into Jean's cunt.

His fingers tore at Jean's panties, scrabbling them aside until he could feel Monique's hand. Insanely, he tore the girl's fingers away and — gripping her wrist tightly — brought them to his mouth.

Instantly, the very moment that Monique's forefinger passed between his lips and Michael tasted the rich juices of Jean's arse, he started to erupt…

The intensity of his orgasm frightened him: he couldn't remember ever experiencing so prolonged and furious a climax. His cream spurted and spurted… until Michael felt that it would never die away to a trickle.

But it wasn't merely the physical sensation of coming which filled him with such awe. The violent upheaval extended to his mind as well — making him giddy and weak. His brain sizzled as if the cells had been short-circuited. His mind felt totally inadequate to contain the sudden ecstasy which now possessed his being…

Michael scarcely knew where he was or what he was doing: his hands were full of soft, rounded female flesh; sensuous, warm skin that pleaded with him to shape it, twist it, hurt it…

All around him he felt the luscious curves, like satin blankets — warming him, caressing him… until he was completely enveloped, smothered by an all-consuming surfeitude of girlish intimacy.

Frantically, he wrung every last drop of semen from his roaring prick. The spasm was finally coming to an end, but he still felt strangely unsatisfied. His cock was as stiff as ever and gave not the slightest indication that it was going to lose its potency — even though he had yielded up such a large quantity of spunk.

He withdrew it slowly from Jean's cunt. And as the head pulled free of his wife's clinging lips, Michael realised that he was fully equipped to fuck Monique without waiting to regain his vigour.

But there was no need for haste now. The initial urgency had passed, leaving him with a more sensual desire to pet and fondle the two girls. To caress them slowly and leisurely; watching them squirm and plead with him for the final satisfaction of his prick in their cunts.

This drowsy, quietly-erotic feeling gave way gradually to an even more pleasant reverie. The fantasy grew and took shape in his mind that it would be wonderfully exciting if Jean and Monique actually assumed the roles of his fearful slaves! If they openly subjected themselves to his domination… pretending with him that he held the power of life and death over their bodies.

Michael pictured himself as an omnipotent Persian king — a mighty warrior, a ruthless man whose every whim must be instantly obeyed! And here, lying beside him on the royal bed, were two of his most delectable concubines… Jean and Monique!

But the girls had to be briefed as to what was expected of them. Before Michael could slip into his part completely and temporarily lose his drab identity, Jean and Monique would have to understand fully their own roles in the fantasy.

He opened his eyes at last and rolled carefully off Jean's body, feeling his prick sticking rigidly up in front of him — the sleek wet shaft pulsing gently.

Jean murmured drowsily in her sleep. Her unaccustomed sexual exercise had evidently tired her, and she lay with her head turned sideways on the pillow breathing deeply. Michael looked across at Monique.

The French girl's breast was still held loosely in Jean's hand, but she showed no sign of wanting to join her lesbian lover in sleep. Monique looked fresh and wide awake — her beautiful blue eyes regarding Michael with an expression of frank interest. She no longer seemed a quiet, shy little girl. The experiences she had gone through today must have brought the girl quickly through her adolescence and wrought an abrupt maturity in her character.

He leaned over Jean's slumbering body and drew his mouth close to hers. They kissed with their eyes open, and Monique's tongue crept between Michael's lips; stealing deliciously into his mouth and licking sensuously across its roof.

He cupped her other breast and gave it a friendly squeeze-then let the orb loll gently in the palm of his hand, supporting it with a soft caress of his fingers. Monique leaned towards him as they continued kissing, letting her hand stray as if by accident to the stiff erectness of his cock.

She stroked tenderly up and down it, using only the very tips of her fingers. Her gentle, coaxing touch filled Michael with an aching longing for the very young, very beautiful girl.

But at the same time it reminded him of his de* sire to play the part of a ruthless, terrible monarch: forcing both Monique and Jean to attend to his needs on pain of fearful punishment. He ended their kiss and started to whisper secretly in the girl's ear, finally bringing himself to voice his urgent need. When he had finished explaining to her in halting phrases what he wanted them to do, Michael steeled himself for Monique's refusal. For her mocking laughter, for her cold contempt…

For anything, in fact, but the girl's surprising agreement and willingness to do anything he asked of her!

“That sounds sexy!” Monique murmured. She rubbed her cheek against his. “We'd have to dress up, though, wouldn't we? I know — there are some old bangles and beads in the attic. I'll go and fetch them while you tell Jean what she must do. And we can wear your silk scarves… Oh, Michael! It's going to be so exciting!”

She kissed him quickly, then bounced off the bed, looking for all the world as if she was about to go and dress up for a fancy dress party!

Michael watched as she swiftly pulled her panties on — then stopped short, smiling ruefully down at herself and exclaiming: “Silly! I won't be needing these, will I? I'm going to wear a much sexier costume!”

Monique peeled them off again and posed proudly in front of him for a moment. Then she hurried out of the bedroom, leaving the door open behind her.

Jean had roused at the girl's voice and she now opened her eyes wide, looking at the empty space on the bed where Monique had been lying. “Where's she gone?” Jean asked Michael sleepily. “Did you tell her we wanted to be alone?”

“Not exactly”. Michael settled himself comfortably on the pillow, putting his hands behind his neck and stretching himself luxuriously. His prick hobbled stiffly and Jean ran her eyes over it, licking her lips in anticipation.

“Will she be back soon?”

“Yes — quite soon, darling. But I want you to get two of my silk scarves out of the drawer and go up to the attic with her: Monique will explain what we're going to do”.

Michael's voice was so matter-of-fact, so casual, that he might have been asking his wife to perform an ordinary household chore. His body seethed with a new-found confidence; he felt almost disconcertingly in full control of the situation.

“But, Michael — there's so much I want to tell you, darling! We've got so many things to discuss”.

“Later, Jean. We can talk as much as you like, but not now! Please — Monique is waiting for you”.

Reluctantly, Jean got up from the bed and adjusted her panties. She smoothed them out so that they once more resumed their function of concealing her sex. Michael smiled.

“You won't be needing those, darling!” he told her. “I think you'll find that Monique has a rather more interesting garment for you to wear!”

Jean stared at him, a frown beginning to crease her forehead. “The scarves?” she whispered. “Is that what we're going to put on?”

Michael nodded. “That's right, Jean. We're going to play a little game, just the three of us.” He ran his eyes leisurely over his wife's scantily-clad body. “You're going to be a slave, darling — a docile, obedient little slave-girl! You'd like that, wouldn't you, Jean?”

She trembled visibly. Her teeth chewed on her lower lip, sucking the corner of it into her mouth anxiously. “Michael — hasn't this gone far enough?” she ventured. “We can't go on; at least I can't! I must have been crazy to start such a thing! Let's put an end of it — please, darling!”

He smiled calmly at her. “As you said — you started it, Jean. And I'm afraid I don't want to stop, not just yet anyway!” He seemed amused by her obvious discomfort.

“I'm enjoying myself, darling. I'm having fun! What's the matter — aren't you?”

“Michael, we're being — I don't know — we're acting like irresponsible children instead of adults! We simply can't let this go any further.” She was getting panicky now, searching frantically for some reason why the menage a trois she had initiated should now be disbanded. “For one thing, it's not fair to Monique!” she blurted out. “That poor girl — she's scarcely older than Cathy — !”

Michael broke in on her irritably. “For God's sake, Jean. What the hell do you take me for? You have deliberately set out to excite me by pretending to have an affair with the girl — oh yes, please don't think I haven't seen through that little scheme! — and now that I've swallowed the bait you're starting to have cold feet!

“Well, if you imagine that I'll say: 'All right, darling, what we're doing is wrong — let's call the whole thing off you're crazy!”

He softened his voice. “Jean", he went on, more reasonably. “Can't you see what's happened? I know what you were trying to do when you let me catch Monique and yourself together…

“Well, it's worked, darling! I haven't felt so excited and close to you for years! Why break it up just when we're having such a wonderful time?

“Go on — go upstairs and make yourself ready. Monique will be wondering what's happened to you. I promise you we'll talk it all out later…” Michael leaned forward and gave Jean's hand a reassuring squeeze. She looked down at him doubtfully, then gave a small, uncertain nod.

“All right, Michael. If you're sure we're doing the right thing…”

“I'm sure”. He watched her as she walked slowly out of the room. Her bottom swung sexily under the tight panties, the cheeks sticking out boldly on either side of the cutaway silk.

He was alone. For a few minutes there was time to bathe in pleasurable anticipation of the joys ahead. Michael decided to have a cigarette while he waited for Jean and Monique to return. It would help to soothe his nerves, perhaps quieten the pounding of his heart.

As he inhaled the smoke deeply into his lungs, he felt again that glorious sensation of freedom flowing through his body. No matter what finally developed from this lustful evening, he thought, one thing was certain: he would no longer have to search for a young and adaptive mistress.

She was right here in the house at this very moment — upstairs with his wife, changing herself into a voluptuous slave-girl!

Monique! Michael breathed her name out in a wraith of blue smoke. Monique! He ran his tongue sweetly around the word, savouring its exotic, sexy connotations.

Unwittingly, poor Jean had supplied him with the very girl he had yearned for. She had been right under his nose for the past three weeks and he had not so much as given her a second glance! Michael put his cigarette in the ashtray and let it burn down unheeded. He didn't really want to smoke. He rather enjoyed the quickening of his pulse, the way all his senses felt keen and sharp.

Poor Jean! he smiled again. He had to admit that he would never have thought her capable of such a crazy, desperate plot! Even now Michael could hardly credit the fact that his wife had arranged such an intriguing and daring scheme to reawaken his interest in her.

She must be quite desperate to risk such a blatant, obvious ploy; why, he might have reacted very differently for all she knew! Another man would probably have walked out on her for…

Michael stopped, his thoughts suddenly sticking in a groove. “For all she knew…” The phrase ticked irritatingly in his mind.

Out of all the possibilities at her disposal, why had Jean arranged a “lesbian scene” to seduce him?

Could it be… could it be that she knew him better than he thought? Yet surely he had never so much as hinted that he found the spectacle of two young women cavorting sexily together an exciting one? He couldn't have! As far as he could remember, the subject had never arisen in their infrequent conversations.

Was it that indefinable (and probably fictitious) quality they called “feminine intuition”? Perhaps… Michael felt rather uneasy all the same. If, somehow, Jean did see through to his most secret fantasies, she was in possession of a deeper knowledge of him than he realised. It implied a greater understanding of his psychological make-up than he himself possessed.

Absently, lost in this uncomfortable speculation, Michael reached out and crushed the remains of his cigarette to a mashy pulp in the ashtray.

Perhaps Jean was a better partner for him than he had previously imagined. He didn't want to believe this, but the idea was taking firm root in his mind and refused to be shifted. Also, Michael was growing increasingly aware of the fact that Jean had shown no trace of embarrassment or shame when he burst in upon the girls.

Quite the contrary. And when she and Monique were making love, Jean had been the one to take the more dominant role. He saw suddenly that his wife simply couldn't have been caressing Monique merely for his benefit! Obviously not!

She hadn't suffered a rather unpleasant intimacy solely to please her husband. Jean had got as much enjoyment out of the situation as Michael!

He allowed the thought to settle, to sink fully into his brain. It changed quite a lot of his feelings towards her; she was clearly a far more complex person than he'd understood her to be. Well, he mused, he would see what developed during their next bout of love-making.

After all, there was no need to choose between the two girls yet. For tonight, at least, he could enjoy them both!

Michael felt comforted and reassured by this last thought. It was nice not to have to make a decision of any kind — and there was plenty of time to make up his mind whether Jean or Monique would ultimately become his lover…

He could now hear them coming back down the stairs, their soft footsteps just discernible as they approached the bedroom. Michael's heart beat faster, his imagination rushing ahead to imagine what the girls would look like in their “slave-girl” costumes. He was confident that they wouldn't disappoint him…

PART THREE. Monique

1

Alone in the attic, Monique rubbed a duster over an antique mirror and examined herself critically. The gilt-framed glass showed her a striking reflection: a row of imitation pearls, the beads thick and large, hung around her neck — falling across her breasts just above the nipples. Two brass-coloured bangles were looped about her wrists, and, most eye-catching of all, the girl had tied a brilliant red scarf around her hips; arranging it so that the knot came slightly below her navel, with the rest of the silk falling down in front of her crotch.

It wasn't quite long enough to completely conceal Monique's sex: the fringe hung across her pubic mound, tickling the lips of her cunt every time she moved. The girl tugged her “loin-cloth” further down her hips until it more effectively hid her private parts from view, then turned around, looking over her shoulder to judge the appearance of her rear.

The scarf did nothing, of course, to hide her bottom; the cheeks were as naked as the day she was born. But the tightness of the silk across her waist certainly accentuated the curve of her hips — making them jut out more sexily than usual.

Monique faced the mirror again, well pleased with her improvised costume. She wondered why Jean was taking so long: it seemed as if she had been up in the attic for ages, and she was impatient for eyes other than her own to admire the rather bizarre picture she presented.

Somehow, it seemed perfectly natural to her that she was waiting for Michael's wife to join her and dress herself in a similar fashion — before they both went downstairs and allowed Michael to treat them (in sexy mock seriousness) as his slaves.

Such a very long time seemed to have elapsed since she had awakened that morning and, for the first time in her life, played so shamelessly with herself in the bath! Monique smiled, scarcely able to believe that she had felt so guilty and stricken with remorse over such a silly, perfectly natural incident.

And then, from that moment on, events had crowded one on top of the other. So much had happened to her today! She had changed completely in the space of those — what? twelve hours?

After Jean had made that shocking proposal to her that they permit Michael to share both their charms, the two girls had made love again. Throughout most of the sunny, warm spring afternoon their bodies had been in close, intimate contact; experimenting with ways of bringing each other to wilder and more voluptuous orgasms, or simply content to cuddle one another in sweet, almost ineffable bliss…

Then her growing nervousness as the time approached when Michael was expected home — and Jean's hurriedly whispered instructions to her when they heard his key turn in the lock.

Monique had felt terribly afraid as the man's footsteps came softly up the stairs. She knew that without Jean's support, without the woman's amazingly bold approach to her husband, she would have died on the spot! But things had gone so smoothly after that. Almost as if they were repeating their parts in a drama which had been enacted many times before…

She moved her shoulders, shuddering involuntarily as the curious deja vu phenomenon stole over her. For a moment, Monique felt sure that the three of them had lived this day again and again… and that they were doomed to spend eternity going over and over the events, never being quite sure that they were on an endless treadmill, but always having that awful, nagging suspicion…

“Oh, nonsense!” Monique exclaimed out loud. She moved away from the mirror, smoothing her hands over the sleekness of her thighs in an attempt to dispel the unsettling mood.

“It's this old attic that's filling your head with these ideas", she told herself. And it was true that the disused room, with its low ceiling and dusty trunks; its long-discarded toys and assortment of forgotten junk, possessed a rather dismal and faintly oppressive atmosphere. As if it resented being used as a repository for unwanted oddments and the long years' accumulation of worthless bric-a-brac.

Monique went to the door and was thankful that Jean had at last appeared on the stairs. The woman seemed lost in thought, not noticing Monique at the doorway until she was almost on top of the girl.

“Is everything all right, Jean?” Monique asked anxiously. The expression on Mrs. Cameron's face made her fear that Michael had undergone a change of attitude since she'd left the bedroom.

“What? Oh yes; everything's fine", Jean said absently. She walked past Monique and moved into the attic.

“You look worried, darling", Monique persisted, following her into the room. “Are you sure nothing's gone wrong?”

Jean's eyes blinked rapidly and she seemed to pull herself together. “I'm sorry", she smiled. “I was miles away!” Her manner changed; she became brisk and business-like. “You look charming, Monique — really charming! Now: I must try to make myself as sexy as you. Where shall we begin…?”

Monique moved to her side and picked up the second silk scarf. She tied it tightly around Jean's hips, then worked the down-hanging loops so that they fell in front of the woman's bushy cunt.

Jean turned so that she faced the mirror — and her eyebrows lifted in surprise. “My!” she exclaimed. “I do look rather peachy, don't I?”

“We haven't finished yet,” Monique told her. “Here — let me put the beads around your neck”. The girl took up a string of pearls and fitted them round Jean's neck, having to lift her beautifully long black hair out of the way so that she could fasten the clasp.

Jean kept her hands at her sides, letting Monique adjust the beads across her bosom; feeling the girl's sweet breath blowing softly on her bare shoulder as she bent forward.

“Turn round", Monique commanded. “I can't quite judge the effect from this angle”.

Jean allowed herself to be turned, Monique's hands exciting her as they grasped her shoulders. Pursing her lips, the girl carefully arranged the string of pearls so that they actually touched Jean's nipples: making the woman shiver as the cold stones brushed against her warm red teats.

Then she stepped back a pace, head cocked on one side, pleased with her artistic adjustment. “They set your breasts off beautifully, Jean", she cried. “Oh, I wish mine were as big as yours!” She put her hands beneath her own titties and lifted them ruefully.

“Don't be silly, darling!” Jean smiled, pleased with the compliment, knowing that her figure was more well-developed than Monique's and glad that the girl envied her the ripe, buxom breasts. “Yours are just as nice as mine… Maybe not quite so large, but those darling nips more than make up for that!”

Monique rubbed her fingers over her nipples, making them perk up almost immediately. “Mmm”. she sighed slowly. “All the same, I love to feel your titties so much, Jean! If they belonged to me, I could touch them whenever I liked, couldn't I?”

Jean paused a moment; then, in a quieter, more deliberate voice said: “They could belong to you, darling, if you wanted them to! You could treat them as your own… your very own, you know.

You only have to ask me — ”.

Despite the intimacy of their relationship, Monique felt herself beginning to blush at Jean's words. She brought her hands up, away from her breasts, and reached them out towards the woman.

“Wait”. Jean held her away, though Monique could see that she, too, longed to move into a warm, passionate embrace. “Don't forget that Michael is waiting for us. We'll have to go down now, darling. But soon we'll be able to hold each other and do everything we want… Come on.”

She took Monique's hand in hers, intertwining their fingers, and led the girl through the door. Their hands brushed constantly against their bare thighs as they walked downstairs — making a silent promise that in just a few more minutes they would roam freely all over the more intimate parts of their bodies…

As they re-entered the bedroom, hand in hand, Jean kicked the door softly shut with the flat of her foot. Demurely, eyes downcast, they presented themselves for Michael's approval: standing at the foot of the bed, looking like girls out of a thrilling but impossible dream.

Michael sat up slowly, his eyes wandering with an expression of mounting pleasure over their scantily-clad bodies. They were playing their parts to perfection, he thought. Monique, the shorter of the two, strongly resembled an Eastern slave girl, with her lightly tanned skin, her small but firm breasts and her slender, petite waist.

He stared at them for some time, feasting his eyes on the voluptuous spectacle of his wife and the French girl standing before him, meekly awaiting his commands. Finally, visual stimulation became insufficient: he desired the greater delight of actually touching these beautiful, submissive creatures.

Accordingly, he clapped his hands loudly and beckoned them to approach the bed. Slowly they drew nearer to him, moving with a cat-like grace, keeping their eyes on the carpet.

Michael waited until the girls were standing right next to him, then swung his feet off the bed — planting them on the floor between Monique and Jean, pushing between them and separating their bodies. He raised his hands, letting them glide softly on the girls' outer thighs. His fingers moved slowly upwards to caress their long, naked legs; his face only a few, exciting inches from their bellies.

Whilst they stood there in silent resignation, the man ran his hands possessively up and down their firm fleshed thighs. He stroked them insistently, revelling in the fact that they were so docile, so eager to please him.

Monique held Jean's hand tightly. More and more, the French girl was falling under the spell of her “role”: she allowed herself to half-believe that she really was enslaved to Michael, and that Jean was her sister in bondage. A curious fairy-tale atmosphere seemed to have been kindled in the bedroom. As the man pressed their thighs, making them tremble with a mounting excitement, Monique recollected the stories of the Arabian Nights. To her fevered imagination they were now remembered as being full of incidents where girls had been held captive- completely at the mercy of a ruthless, highly-sexed Sultan, who did exactly as he pleased with them…

When she had first read them as a young girl, Monique had felt a strange, rather discomforting sensation in the pit of her stomach. It had spread to her loins, firing them with an unfamiliar and disturbing heat.

Without being consciously aware of the fact, she had closely identified herself with those sorely-tried young maidens, whose destiny it was to be nothing more than objects of pleasure to the insatiable rulers of harems, palaces and mosques.

Whenever she imagined herself dressed in their scanty, revealing garments Monique felt a thrill of sheer ecstasy shoot through her body. To be forced into doing all sorts of terrible things… and in the presence of other, similarly dressed girls…

She had never been able to bring herself to go further and act out in her imagination what exactly would happen in such a situation. And when Michael had suggested to her that the three of them should play the very game she had secretly yearned for since her childhood, Monique had known an intensely powerful excitement: it was almost as if he had psychoanalysed her and understood the deep, subconscious sex-fantasies which she scarcely admitted even to herself.

Monique gave a little shiver of foreboding. It was both thrilling and frightening that someone knew so much about her. She watched out of the corner of her eye as Michael's hand stroked her thigh. The man's fingers were sinking firmly into the flesh, now moving around to the back of her leg; now caressing around the circumference and fondling down the inside of her thigh.

The silk scarf which hung over her loins, not quite wide enough to conceal the deep crease on either side of her crotch, felt sexy against her mound. It brushed with an acute tickling sensation on her naked quim as Michael made her thighs wobble gently…

At last, he tired of this pleasing but innocuous fondling. Running his hands higher up, Michael gave the girls a brief arse-feeling — cupping their buttocks firmly and squeezing the relaxed globes between his fingers.

Then he released them, lifted himself back onto the bed, and once again stretched at full length in front of them.

“Show me how you please each other when there are no males around", he commanded. “Let me see what games you females get up to when you are alone together!” He propped a pillow behind his head so that he could watch them more comfortably. “Do anything you wish — only make sure that I am well pleased!”

Monique bowed her head. “As you wish, oh master", she murmured. “We shall do all we can to carry out your desires!”

She knew that the colour had risen to her cheeks, staining them a blushing crimson. But though her heart pounded furiously against her ribs, Monique felt herself gradually escaping into her character of slave-girl with ease. And it was as a captive, obediently resigned servant that she now turned to Jean, her arms extended to the woman in a welcoming embrace.

But Jean haughtily swung around, presenting Monique with her back; crossing her hands proudly over her breasts.

The girl realised that Jean had taken on the role of a rebel, that she was inviting Monique to force her into submission. “Jean, we must do as we are told!” she whispered urgently. “We dare not disobey!”

She put her hands tentatively on the woman's hips, at the same time moving close to Jean and letting her “loin-cloth” press against her companion's bare arse. Monique could feel the delicious heat coming from Jean's ripely-fleshed curves — and pressed her fingers more firmly into the woman's hips.

“No!” Jean cried. “I won't do such things! If you want me to… then you'll have to make me!” Her eyes glinted with a provocative challenge. “If you can, that is! Go on — I dare you! Show our master which one of us is the stronger! I dare you!”

Michael leaned forward intently, hardly daring to let his eyes blink for fear that he would miss a single second of the girls' “performance”.

Monique ran her hands slowly up Jean's back until they gripped the woman's shoulders. “You must do what he commands!' she hissed. “We could be flogged or put to death for such disobedience! Please, Jean — I don't want to suffer even if you don't mind!”

But Jean thrust her away with a violent backward heave of her body. Monique staggered, the silk scarf flaring up momentarily and giving Michael a teasing flash of the girl's sex.

Then — crouching her body in a wrestling stance — Monique threw herself at Jean, clutching the woman around her waist and toppling them both to the floor.

They fell in a disorderly tangle of writhing legs and arms: rolling over on the soft carpet, their respective bottoms now hidden, now fully revealed, as first Monique and then Jean gained the uppermost position.

Michael moved quickly to the edge of the bed, eyes darting, following the girls' every movement. They were breathing heavily, Jean's gorgeous black hair foaming over their breasts as she fought for dominance. He could see Monique's hands scrabbling for a hold on the smooth surface of his wife's back — finally slipping to Jean's bottom and grasping the cheeks tightly; pinching up large folds of the bum-flesh and causing the valley to widen and expose the secrets of her anus…

But only momentarily. For Jean dragged the girl off her body and plumped herself ruthlessly on Monique's stomach… her legs open, her feet planted astride on the girl's wrists; trapping Monique inescapably.

Vainly, the French girl kicked her legs up, trying to dislodge Jean's position. She merely succeeded in giving Michael a breathtaking view of her parted thighs — the narrow silk scarf riding up over her crotch and baring the red line of her sex.

Jean wriggled her buttocks tormentingly on Monique's bare belly, making the girl pant for breath, her thighs squirming helplessly…

“Now then", Jean gasped. '“That's what you get for trying to get the better of me!” She put both her hands roughly on Monique's breasts. “Is this what you wanted me to do? Feel your titties?” She squeezed them cruelly, her fingers kneading the girl's unprotected globes furiously. “How do you like that, then?” she asked grimly.

Monique rolled her head from side to side, unable to do anything to stop Jean's punishing treatment of her breasts.

“Please!” she managed to implore the woman finally. “You're hurting me! Jean — don't hold them so tightly!”

“Oh?” Jean surveyed her sardonically. “So that's not what you wanted, after all! Well, perhaps this will give you more pleasure…”

And she brought her fingers and thumbs together around the red stalks of Monique's nipples, slowly pulling the stiff teats upwards. When they were lifted as far as she could possibly stretch them. Jean swung her hands from side to side, making the girl's tits jiggle like twin mounds of plasticine.

“Ouch! Oh, Jean, you're squeezing them too hard! Please let them go!”

“Really?” Jean looked down into Monique's pain-contorted face and smiled. “All right, then I'll try something else…”

Moving so quickly that the girl had no chance to seize the opportunity to free herself, Jean turned swiftly around on Monique's body; positioning her knees on her captive's wrists and bending right forward so that her face was in line with Monique's crotch.

Her own sex stuck rudely above the French girl's eyes, Jean now commenced to study Monique's loins. She rested her hands on the inside of the girl's thighs, holding them firmly apart.

Monique forced herself to relax, to allow Jean to take the initiative once more. She stopped her legs from trying to press together and let the woman do as she wished with her body.

Jean sensed the girl's capitulation and eased the pressure of her knees on Monique's trapped wrists. Her fingers slowly plucked the red scarf from its resting place on Monique's crotch; gradually revealing to both her eyes and Michael's the sexy-lipped wound of the girl's cunt.

When the silk covering was completely lifted away from Monique's quim, Jean laid it daintily across her right thigh. But instead of petting and fondling the vulnerable slit, she began to spank it lightly with the flat of her hand!

Her fingers patted steadily on the girl's cunt, raining a rapid succession of slaps — some of which landed on Monique's mons veneris, some on the puffy lips themselves… and some on the base of her sex, on that tender portion of skin between her vagina and anus.

At first the blows were no more than rather gentle pats, stimulating and exciting to the girl who was receiving them. But, gradually, Jean increased the ardour of her spanking: until her hand was descending on poor Monique's quim with considerable power!

She tried to lift her knees to protect her sex from this stinging treatment, but Jean responded quickly by grasping with her other hand the half-raised leg and thrusting it firmly back to the floor.

And now Jean had crooked her fingers slightly, thus allowing them to sink fractionally into Monique's slit each time they landed. She would slap her hand down into the red wound… hold it there for a moment or two while her fingers tickled into the gash… then again raise it ready for the next blow.

Monique began to make shrill cries of protest. With every descent of Jean's hand, she uttered a louder and more painful yelp — and the girl's “ows” and “ohs” increased Michael's excitement immensely!

He was lying on his side, his prick rubbing into the turned-back sheets. The girls were positioned directly below his vision and he had a grandstand view of their thrilling, erotic display of lesbian spanking…

The stinging of Jean's hand at last forced Monique to make a superhuman effort to free herself. She clenched her teeth and, gathering all her strength, butted her face sharply into the woman's fanny.

So sudden and unexpected was this retaliation that Jean was sent careening forward. Her hands lunged out to save herself and her knees lifted from Monique's wrists.

Instantly, the French girl transferred the palms of her hands to Jean's buttocks and gave a lusty heave, helping her on her sprawling way!

Jean fell helplessly, ending up full-length on the floor, her breasts and tummy hitting the carpet with an impact that knocked all the breath out of her…

Monique threw herself on top of the stunned woman and quickly pinioned Jean's hands behind her back. She held the wrists in one hand, lifting them up high — nearly making them reach to Jean's shoulders. Jean squealed with pain.

Setting her mouth in a grim, determined pout, Monique knelt by the woman's body — on Michael's far side so that he was still able to see all that went on — and started to spank Jean's wonderfully thrustful bottom.

Her hand fell resoundingly on the snowy white hemispheres, each meeting of hand and bum sending a sharp “thwack” through the room.

Having received no mercy, Monique showed none. She sent her open-fingered hand again and again onto Jean's arse-cheeks; making sure that each slap landed on a new portion of the woman's buttocks. Before very long, Jean's wobbling globes were stained an angry pink. They glowed, each lovely round cheek covered with the red aftermath of Monique's spanking…

“Oooh! That's enough, Monique!” Jean cried. “I'm so sore, darling! My bum feels as if it's on fire! Ouch!! Monique! Please, darling… please!!!”

But the girl refused to let up. Her arm ached with the rhythm of her slaps, but she spanked on and on: determined to make every inch of Jean's bottom feel the wrath of her hand.

When there wasn't a single place on the woman's arse that hadn't been severely whacked, Monique made her hand fall on the backs of Jean's thighs The firm flesh was as smooth and supple there as it had felt on Jean's buttocks — wonderfully creamy, superbly textured…

At last, though, Monique had to let her hand drop limply to her side. It tingled, and felt as sore as Jean's arse looked. She simply couldn't give the woman another slap! Besides, during the past few minutes, Monique had felt a growing desire to caress Jean's body and kiss away the hurt which her spanking had caused.

She loosened her hold on Jean's wrists and let them go. Then she bent her face quickly to the woman's bottom and let her lips brush gently on the angrily-red cheeks.

Sweetly, Monique kissed all over Jean's sore arse, soothing away the sharp stinging and caressing the sore, tender globes with her fingertips.

Jean remained quite still. She submitted to the girl's kissing of her bottom without moving at all. Her hands stayed twisted behind her, the backs of her fingers resting on her spine.

Only when Monique softly parted the cheeks of her buttocks and licked her tongue sexily into the cleft did Jean stir.

She raised her hips slowly, helping the girl to reach her tongue more easily into the crease and push the wet tip against her anus-hole. Monique held the globes apart, one hand resting on each fulsome orb, while her lips pressed tightly into the gorgeous furrow and her tongue worked deliciously into Jean's back passage.

For several horny minutes the French girl ran her tongue tastily over Jean's arse orifice, curling the tip and pushing it sexily into the hard, tight nutmeg.

When she finally withdrew her mouth, Jean turned over, her breasts shaking voluptuously — the beads swinging delightfully against her nipples. The silk scarf had fallen back into place across her honeypot, modestly shielding the thick-lipped jungle from view.

“I'm sorry", she whispered. “I was very naughty and I deserved to be spanked! Of course we must do as we're told: it was very wrong of me to disobey! Come, let's do as our Master bids us…”

And she pulled Monique gently down beside her, one hand stealing about the girl's waist, the other going up to clasp Monique's shoulder. The girls cuddled warmly together, lying side by side on the carpet just below Michael's eyes, shamelessly kissing and caressing each other — knowing that he could see every movement they made.

Monique's right hand stole down until her fingers rested over Jean's silk-covered crotch. She massaged the place lovingly, moving her hand in a beautifully slow up-and-down rhythm so that the scarf was pressed tightly against the woman's sex.

The thin silk rubbed excitingly on Jean's cunt, and as Monique experimentally pushed her finger into the yielding hole, the underside was gradually forced inwards: penetrating Jean's hot, moist quim.

“Mmmm”. Monique sighed prettily as she slowly tucked her finger (the material of the scarf acting as an improvised sheath) into her lover's tight slit.

Firmly, the digit was thrust fully into Jean's ticklish sex, Monique working it around and around — taking care to push the silk in before her finger and make it touch every inch of the woman's throbbing vulva.

Soon, Michael could see that his wife's cunt was crammed with the scarf. Monique had cleverly stuck it so far into the slit that, when she pulled her finger out again, only the fringe was left to dangle sexily outside the ripe wound.

Jean herself, meanwhile, had not been idle. While her hands had been caressing Monique's bottom (unfortunately out of Michael's line of vision), she had drawn Monique's scarf tightly between the girl's thighs. It could now be seen — as Jean's body moved slightly away from Monique's and again lay in repose on the carpet — that her fingers were holding the very end of the scarf tautly under Monique's bottom.

This naturally caused the silken neckwear to be pulled as constrictingly as possible against the girl's crotch; and for it to twist into a very narrow strip — thereby cutting firmly into Monique's cunt, leaving the lips themselves to protrude nakedly on either side of the swathe.

While Michael's eyes were glued on this erotic spectacle, Jean gave him a brief look — then began to jerk the taut length of silk scarf backwards and forwards between Monique's thighs.

The effect was startling. Michael felt his prick rising to a frenzied erectness. It moved of its own volition against the sheets and for a moment he feared that he would shoot his spunk onto them prematurely, so urgent was the prickling sensation at his scrotum.

Monique's quim was drawn widely open by Jean's manipulations: the scarf had become no more than a strip of silk about an inch in diameter and it sank deeply into the long gash of the girl's sex, forcing the lips to stretch open.

As he stared, the girls climbed slowly to their feet. Jean retained her grip on the scarf and, standing by Monique's side, facing towards the bed, she continued her steady tugging…

Monique's crotch was level with his eyes now, and Michael could see even more clearly the unnatural pout of the girl's cunt-lips. They seemed thicker than he remembered them… and he suddenly realised that this was due to fact that the tight cut of the scarf was forcing them to protrude; curving them out of Monique's pussy and squashing them severely!

For Monique herself the sensation was unbearably sensual. She could feel Jean's hand under her bottom, could feel the constant drag of the material into her inflamed cunt…

Her knees wobbled unsteadily. For a moment she was sure that she was going to faint. And then she knew that her quim was spurting its love-juices down her thighs; staining the silk and flowing abundantly onto Jean's quickly placed fingers.

The woman's hand lifted into her crotch, and Monique felt the sensitive, fondling fingers slip into her cunt. They took their place beside the cruel silk and tickled her on to the completion of her climax.

She managed to keep her eyes open during the prolonged orgasm, staring down at her thighs as they quivered and shook with a life of their own.

Then, her legs unable to support her for a moment longer, Monique fell half-swooning into Jean's arms. She dimly realised that she was being lowered gently onto the bed… then gave herself up to the blissful warm blanket that was slowly enveloping her…

2

Gradually, the sound of voices reached her. They seemed to be coming from a great distance, down a long dark wind-tunnel. Monique didn't really want to hear them: she would have preferred to remain here in this beautiful, dreamy pink-and-fluffy world where everything was so peaceful, so wonderfully calm.

But the spell had already been broken. Her escape into sleep had ended. And Monique slowly brought herself back from the silent, still state of rest and into full consciousness.

She was lying on one side of Michael's body and Jean was on the other. He had his arms around their shoulders, clasping them gently, his head turned towards Jean.

“She's waking up", Jean whispered, and Michael brought his face round, smiling at Monique and giving her shoulder a squeeze.

“What — what happened?” Monique asked sleepily. “I was standing next to Jean and suddenly I…” She raised herself up on one elbow. “I fell asleep!” she finished, shaking her head ruefully. “How rude of me! But I couldn't help myself, I felt so tired — ”.

“Of course you did, darling", Jean said softly. “After all, you've been through quite a lot today! It's no wonder you feel exhausted”. Monique thought that she exchanged a knowing, secret look with her husband. “How do you feel now, precious?”

Jean went on. “You've had nearly two hours' sleep, you know. Has it refreshed you?”

“Two hours!” Monique sat right up in the bed, startled. “Surely I couldn't have slept all that time!” It suddenly occurred to her that Jean and Michael had been talking together while she had been fast asleep. They seemed somehow different now. As if they'd reached an understanding…

Looking from one to the other, Monique felt sure that something had transpired between the husband and wife which concerned her, but about which she was to be told nothing.

It wasn't anything she could put a name to; it was nothing she could pin down and identify. No, whatever it was that the couple had agreed to, she — Monique — would never fully discover. She might guess at it from their subsequent actions, but the essence of their conversation would always elude her.

The girl felt upset by this realisation. It reminded that she was, comparatively speaking, a stranger in their midst. An outsider: someone who could never completely share their lives.

People who had been married for as long as Michael and Jean always retained a certain duality; however close a third person got to them, there remained a part of their lives which couldn't be shared — an intimacy between them which couldn't be penetrated even by their children.

Monique reminded herself that she should have understood this at the beginning. Despite Jean's protestations, she should have realised from the first that she could never come between her and her husband. Not in every way, not completely…

Or was she merely imagining things? Had she misinterpreted the look which she thought Jean had exchanged with Michael? Monique began to grow anxious — not because of her fears themselves, but because she had never before been subjected to such self-doubt and so deep an analysis of her feelings, and the feelings of other people.

At this point Jean's voice broke into her thoughts: “While you were sleeping, Michael and I had a wonderful idea, Monique. A new variation on our little game…”

She leaned right across Michael's body and put her hand on Monique's waist. “We thought it might be rather exciting to pretend that he has come here to buy a slave!” she went on, her voice slowly exciting Monique: not so much by what she was saying as by the sensuous purr in the woman's tone. It was soft and low, confidential and arousing.

“He would have to examine me very thoroughly, of course", Jean continued. “And it would be your job to see that all my — er — good qualities are pointed out to him!”

So Jeans to be the leading player, Monique thought with a trace of bitterness. Why not me? Why should she have all the fun?

“What do you think of the idea, darling?”

“It sounds very exciting", Monique replied. Perhaps, once they started, she could find some way of ensuring that she received a fair share of Michael's attentions. Meanwhile, she had to admit that even acting as Jean's hand-maiden promised to be a sexy pastime…

“Come on, then", Jean cried. “Let's get started, shall we?”

Monique was tugged playfully off the bed by the eager woman and she and Jean took their places near the dressing table — where the mirror reflected their alluring bodies, giving Michael a view of the girls from the back as well as the front.

They re-adjusted their single, skimpy garments; tugging the silk scarves down so that they hung sexily over their loins. Monique cleared her throat.

“Can I interest you in this beautiful girl, sir?” she asked Michael — putting a delicious simper into her voice. “As you can see, she is very attractive and her figure is one of the most well-developed you will ever find”.

Monique placed her hand beneath Jean's left breast and raised it gently: displaying the ample globe for Michael's inspection.

He got off the bed in a slow, lazy movement, then walked across and stood directly in front of them.

Monique lifted Jean's breast higher — and let her forefinger brush across the nipple. It swelled quickly, stiffening in a hard, red flowering as the girl's finger moved backwards and forwards, deliberately coaxing it to prominent, impertinent erect-ness.

Michael peered down, bringing his eyes to within a few inches of his wife's nipple. “Hm, not bad", he commented. “See if you can make the other one grow as stiff. I'm rather partial to nipples and I want to be sure she's got two good ones!”

Keeping one hand on Jean's breast, Monique slipped the other beneath the woman's armpit and slowly teased the second nipple until it sprouted as magnificently as the first. Then she let both the orbs rest softly in her fingers, holding them modestly for the man to judge their size and quality.

He reached his fingers up and, while Monique continued to hold the breasts steady, rubbed them for a long minute across Jean's nipples.

“Aren't they beautiful, sir?” Monique breathed. She let the warm, nestling balloons jiggle lightly in her hands. “Please — feel them for yourself! I'm quite certain you'll be satisfied!”

Michael held them firmly, turning them this way and that… lifting them high, then letting them fall back into position by themselves — watching the lithe bounce of Jean's truly magnificent breasts. He next pushed them tightly together, squashing the ripe dumplings so that they rubbed intimately. And again withdrew his hands so that they sprang apart of their own accord.

“I must admit they're excellent specimens!” he commented at last. “But I shall want to take a good look at the rest of her before I make up my mind”.

“Oh, of course, sir!” Monique cried.

All this time, Jean had remained quite still, her eyes impassively staring out over Michael's shoulder. She now permitted Monique to turn her round, obediently facing the mirror and allowing them to inspect her rear view. Her hand rested quietly at her sides.

“See how shapely her shoulders are?” Monique asked. “Look at the smooth skin! And her back — how firm and upright it is!”

Illustrating her praise of Jean's bareness, the girl put her hand on the woman's shoulder and let it run intimately down the flesh. When her fingers reached Jean's bottom Monique slid them over the large curves and cupped the cheek nearest to her.

“And her buttocks!” she exclaimed. “Have you ever seen such a sweetly shaped arse in all your life? Why, the suppleness and the beauty of these cheeks would put Cleopatra herself to shame!”

“Let me see…” Michael went down on his haunches to examine the much-vaunted bottom for himself. He studied it from every possible angle, taking hold of the other cheek and — with Monique's aid — opened them so that he could view the privacy of Jean's anus, tucked three-quarters of the way down the deep crease…

She kept her arse muscles submissively relaxed, letting the man and girl hold her bum-cheeks wide open. Michael motioned Monique to carry out the task of keeping the globes well-splayed and she willingly leaned over and did so: one hand on each orb now, thumbs beneath the heavy swells, ensuring that he had the completest possible view of Jean's rear orifice.

Michael fixed his eyes intently on the tiny, pursed hole. Around it extended dozens of little wrinkles where the flesh had been stretched. He put his finger into the crease and touched the inviting opening: then rubbed the digit insinuatingly into the tight, boldly displayed shit-orifice.

A persistent, prolonged examination, and he appeared to be satisfied with the state of Jean's anus.

He withdrew his finger, making a faint suction noise as it popped out of the brown passageway. Then he put the intruder to his nostrils and sniffed carefully.

“Mmm, yes", he stated at last. “That would appear to be perfectly satisfactory. Now — I must see what the girl's cunt is like”. Michael rose to his feet again, letting his horny prick rub firmly against Jean's buttocks as he straightened up.

“Of course", Monique replied quickly. “Jean — go to the bed and lie down. We want to examine your quim!”

In an extremely docile manner, Jean moved to the bed and stretched herself out, letting her thighs open slightly. The fringe of the silk scarf fell across the mound above her cunt as she assumed the horizontal position, merging with her pubic hairs…

Monique curled up beside her, tucking her legs beneath her. Michael approached them, running his eyes over Jean's lusciously almost-nude body with a kind of professional appraisal. His cock bulged wildly up in front of his stomach, swinging menacingly each time the man moved, its crown red and thick.

Monique slowly raised the silken fringe away from the slave-girl's crotch. Then she rubbed the hard mound with her fingers, gently smoothing the hairs until they were flat — and brushed away from the opening of the woman's cunt-lips.

“There!” she cried proudly. “Please examine her as intimately as you please: I know you'll be happy with what you find!”

“Thank you", Michael replied shortly. “I shall make up my own mind about that!”

He sat on the edge of he bed and prodded Jean's thighs, indicating to her that she should open them a little wider. She obeyed without a murmur, parting her legs so that her prospective “buyer” could freely examine the hidden delights of her sex.

Michael leaned towards Jean's crotch and ran his hand gradually up the inside of her thigh. His fingers came to rest on the raised curve of her mons veneris, caressing the hairy mouth firmly.

Taking his time, the man let his middle finger slip slowly downwards into her wound, wiggling it from side to side until the lips sighed reluctantly open. Keeping his other fingers on Jean's crotch, Michael pushed the penetrating digit insistently deeper — feeling it sink beautifully into the thick red meat…

Still, Jean made not even the slightest sound or movement.

Michael frigged her quim methodically, his finger going in and out of the moist hole in a steady, unvaried rhythm. His knuckles rubbed at her clitoris, kneading the stalk into a thick, pulsing erectness — but still Jean played her role of the passive slave-girl to the hilt!

At last, Michael plopped his finger out and glanced up at Monique. “I want you to hold the lips open for me", he ordered the girl. Then, after considering, he appeared to change his mind:

“No — wait a minute. I'll keep them apart and watch while you lick your tongue into her cunt! You see. I must have proof that she's a clean girl…” His eyes glittered wickedly at Monique. He really is enjoying this, she thought. Even more than we are! He's getting quite a kick out of playing the dominant, must-be-obeyed male!

She waited until Michael had prised Jean's quim as far open as the lips would stretch, then positioned herself between the woman's thighs. He was holding the slit from above, resting his lower arms on the soft white flesh of Jean's belly. His fingers nipped the twin sides of her cunt — spreading the intricate layers of inner skin for her delectation.

Monique put her hands on Jean's thighs and moved her mouth until her pursed lips came into moist contact with the woman's completely bared sex.

The girl took a deep breath, then began to suck firmly: her teeth just inside the hot, odorous quim. She made a steady, even slurping sound as her lips drew the fleshy complex of Jean's sex into her mouth and she worked them with a growing intensity of pleasure around the widely-stretched hole.

Michael stared hotly at the arousing, cock provoking scene. In all his wildest dreams he had never imagined so sexy a situation! His own wife being cuntsucked by a young girl whilst he himself held her darling slit open!

His prick throbbed madly: urging him to tumble Monique away and plunge it to the hilt inside Jean's sopping-wet quim! But that would put too sudden an end to their game. He must be patient!

Meantime, he realised that he could at least give his anxious weapon some relief. Careful not to loosen his hold on Jean's lips, Michael lifted himself onto the bed and then brought his cock down so that it stuck into the softness of his wife's breast.

Her nipple burned beneath it, seeming to sink right through the flesh and into the very heart of his prick!

Slowly, Michael rode it up and down; feeling the sweet hemisphere wobbling under his rock-hard tool. In his excitement, he inadvertently slipped off the globe and — cursing violently — began to lift his buttocks and get his cock back in position.

But Jean suddenly came to life and he felt her hands take his prick firmly and maneouvre it between her breasts. Then, swiftly, she pushed them tightly together — imprisoning his fiery rod between the luscious white fruits!

Michael's eyes blazed with excitement. He started to fuck up and down: the warmth and softness of Jean's titties almost as pleasurable as the feel of her cunt…

She rolled her breasts rhythmically, making sure that they never relaxed the tightness of their embrace; never allowed his cock to feel free of their all-encompassing heat.

For several minutes the trio held this tableau, writhing on the bed in their unholy positions — Monique now inserting her tongue fully into Jean's cunt and giving it the deepest, most thorough licking it had ever received.

Fearing that it would cost him a premature ejaculation, Michael finally forced his prick from between his wife's breasts. He also let go of Jean's cunt lips, leaving Monique to manage as best she could without his assistance. It was some time before Michael felt able to continue: he needed breathing space — not because he was tired, but because he knew that at the slightest stimulation his cock would erupt in a mighty, unstoppable orgasm…

And he wanted to delay that moment until he had given Jean the greatest fuck of their married life — while Monique acted as their hand-maiden, attending to the details and generally helping them to create an atmosphere of intense eroticism.

Eventually, he had calmed down sufficiently to go on. Monique was still sucking and licking at Jean's quim, her eyes closed tightly, her pert little nose resting against his wife's clitty.

Michael moved behind the girl and caressed the nape of her neck softly. She stirred, and he drew her gently away from Jean's sex — seeing the wet film on her lips where his wife had annointed Monique's mouth with her love-juice.

He indicated to her silently that he wanted her to climb onto the bed next to Jean and help to ease his prick into the woman's cunt. She nodded briefly, and Michael thought that he could detect a sadness in her eyes.

However, there was no time to dwell on real or imagined emotions. His need was growing more vital every second and he could scarcely wait to feel his penis sliding tightly into Jean's well-sucked quim.

Breathing hard, Michael lowered his body on top of her, letting Monique grasp his cock and steer it to the portals of his wife's joyhole.

The girl rubbed the head up and down Jean's oily slit — finally guiding it into the yielding hole and allowing the pulsing weapon to sink its hilt. Then she contented herself with fondling gently at his balls, weighing the hard sacks in her palm and caressing softly at his scrotum.

Michael felt a fierce, ecstatic joy welling up in him as his prick crammed greedily into Jean's cunt. She really was a beautiful, tight little girl, he thought proudly. So hot… so very, very wet!

He began to screw her, using deep, slow, satisfying strokes — pausing with each inward thrust and letting his cock remain in the depths of her pussy for a count of five: then drawing it gradually back again — feeling it sliding gloriously against the hot walls of her sex…

In… out! In… out!!

He met Jean's eyes, seeing in them a fire and love which matched his own. She looked incredibly lovely! Her black hair was strewn over the sheets, its abundance making her face seem so tiny and child-like. A great protective urge flooded his being. How he adored her at this moment!

And she was grinding her hips in that slow, special wonderfully sensual way; something she hadn't done for years! Her spunk flowed sweetly over his prick, making it hotter and even more slippery: bathing him with a caressing, milky flow which symbolised her love…

Michael had almost forgotten Monique in his awakened ardour for Jean. The girl lay on her side against them, her fingers still massaging his testicles.

Suddenly, he found that he resented her presence. She shouldn't be here, intruding on their intimacy! It was obscene, unnatural… she was nothing but an outsider — a corrupt, interfering little -

Michael caught himself up. He remembered that if it hadn't been for Monique, he and Jean would most likely never have rediscovered their passion for each other! He tore his eyes away from her — and as they met Jean's once more he realised that she had seen from his expression what had been going through his mind.

She smiled: a tender, wistful little smile that begged him to be gentle with the girl.

Michael moved his head in an almost imperceptible nod — and resumed his piston-like fucking… now driving his prick in and out of Jean's cunt with a wilder, more intense passion; making it thrust into the heart of her female sex urgently… frantically…

Out of pity rather than desire, he reached his hand between Monique's thighs and started to insert two of his fingers into her smaller, probably virginal quim.

The girl tried to close her legs, reacting against Michael's belated attentions. But he overcame her weak resistance easily, and as soon as she felt his fingers sinking between her sex-lips, Monique gave a heartfelt sigh and relented.

She pulled her hand from its place on Michael's crotch and wriggled her body up the bed until her breasts were level with Jean's face. Michael's fingers had retained their sinecure inside Monique's cunt and they continued to frig steadily at the girl's slit, tickling and teasing; moving without cessation up and down the long, unfucked wound.

Monique suddenly gripped Jean's head, her slim fingers gathering up the woman's hair and forcing her to confront the breasts which Monique was thrusting towards her mouth.

“Kiss them! Suck them!” Monique urged her. “Go on — bite them if you like!” Jean could see tears in the girl's eyes — her voice was bitter and wild.

“What are you waiting for?” Monique demanded. “Aren't they good enough for you now? You liked them enough this afternoon, didn't you? Remember how you touched them then? Go on!” she shrilled. “Show him how you sucked them!!”

The girl was approaching hysteria, her lower lip trembling violently. Jean quickly moved her mouth forward and took one of Monique's breasts between her lips. She drew on it deeply, flicking the nipple with her tongue and feeling it harden and ripen.

“That's right!” Monique sobbed. “Harder — harder, damn you!' She thrust Jean's mouth against her breasts with both hands. “Oh, damn you! Damn you both!! You've been using me — that's all! That's all you wanted me for! As a — a stimulant!”

Oh, no, Jean wanted to cry. That's not true — it's simply not true! But her lips were choked with the softness of the girl's breast, and Monique's hands held her tightly in position; her fingers crooked into her hair.

And anyway, she realised with a terrible sinking feeling, what Monique had cried out in frustration wasn't so far from the truth after all. Perhaps both she and Michael had intended nothing but the restoration of their waning love and desire all along. Perhaps -

But Jean could no longer think clearly. The frenzy of Michael's prick as it coursed again and again into her cunt made her slowly oblivious to everything.

She let her teeth sink remorselessly into Monique's nipple (using her again for a purely selfish motive?) and brought her ankles up around her husband's back — urging him to penetrate her as hard and as deeply as he possibly could.

Her spunk suddenly spurted without warning, and Jean was transported into a fantastic world of blinding white light; unbelievable peace flooded her being — she lived an eternity of bliss during the timeless throbbing of her orgasm…

And then, to make her joy complete, she felt her body being slowly filled with hot, life-giving fluid: and realised dimly, before every corner of her mind was lifted into transcendence, that Michael had reached his climax in perfect timing with her own…

As he spent his semen in an excruciatingly long and sustained shuddering, Michael thought only of Jean. Before he, too, gave himself up to the sweet death of orgasm, his mind recalled a hundred beautiful moments they had shared. He remembered, in a total recall which is granted a drowning man, the way their life together had begun… and the way it should have continued…

But these memories gave way inevitably to a metaphysical, mystic communion with the normally inaccessible regions of his unconscious — and Michael surrendered his last small contact with reality, striving with pure instinct to force as much spunk into Jean's beloved cunt as he could muster.

He fused with her completely; until, at the end, there was no real comprehension in his mind where her body ended and his began… coda

They watched as the train drew slowly to a halt and the doors started to swing open, craning their necks for a first glimpse of their daughter. Michael gripped Jean's arm. “There she is!” he cried, pointing as a pretty, dark-haired girl stepped down and waved excitedly.

She dropped her suitcase and came running eagerly towards them, arms flung wide. Michael caught her up and swung her round, kissing her cheek and laughing.

“Cathy!” Jean struggled to separate them, her hat knocked sideways as the trio embraced, reeling about the platform, arms about each other's necks. “Oh, it's so good to have you home again, darling! We've missed you so much!”

Holding hands, Cathy in the middle, they walked to the car. “There's so much to tell you, Mummy", the girl said. “It seems ages since I went away… We've got two new teachers — oh, and they're having an open-day soon. You will be able to come, won't you?”

She chattered incessantly, trying to talk to both of them at the same time. All the way home, Cathy gossiped about what had happened during her term at school, while Michael and Jean exchanged amused smiles over her head.

She seemed to have grown up during her absence this time. The rather gauche schoolgirl who had left them three months ago in tears now looked remarkably self-possessed and assured. To his surprise, Michael felt a strong paternal pride in her. His daughter was an attractive, intelligent girl, he realised. It amazed him to think that he had scarcely even noticed her before today…

After dinner, Cathy went to bed early — tired by the journey and the excitement of her reunion with her parents. Michael and Jean listened to her footsteps disappearing up the stairs, then turned to each other.

He kissed her affectionately and hugged her close to him. “I love you", he whispered, and felt Jean's body strain sweetly against his.

Linking arms, they went into the lounge and sat together on the settee. The lights were dimmed.

Jean reached for his hand and squeezed it tightly. “No regrets, Michael?” she asked, looking up into his eyes.

He returned the pressure of her fingers. “No regrets", he replied softly.

They stared into each other's eyes for a moment, then Jean said: “You don't think we were too cruel to her, do you? She wouldn't do anything silly, like — ”.

Michael put his hand quickly over her mouth. “Of course not, darling”. He moved his fingers to her neck and caressed it gently. “She was very upset by what happened. Naturally — she would be. But she'll get over it. She's very young, and soon she'll look back on it and be glad of the experience”.

Jean shook her head and looked doubtfully at him. “I wonder… I don't think you knew her as well as I did, Michael. She was quite a highly-strung girl really. And I keep worrying that she might — ”. * “Darling!” Michael drew her face next to his and kissed her firmly on the mouth. “Honestly, we've got enough to do getting to know each other better, without concerning ourselves about a girl who only stayed with us for three weeks!

“Come on, stop thinking about her so much. She's all right. Just be thankful it didn't turn out any other way. Look what we would have missed!”

He kissed her again, then nestled her head against his shoulder, stroking her long black hair. Jean closed her eyes and wound her arms about his waist, snuggling as close as possible to her husband. She wished with all her heart that she hadn't stood by while Michael had deliberately told Monique that she was nothing but a little tramp; a whore; a perverted, cheap…

She tried to stem the memory of that horrible outburst but she knew that it would always be present in her mind. Why had he done it? There had been no necessity for him to be so cruel.

And yet… And yet it had given them a completely clean break from her. She saw now that that was the reason why Michael had behaved so terribly. If he hadn't driven her away so effectively there would always be a slight doubt in both their minds that Monique would be an ever-present threat to their new-found happiness.

Only by rejecting her so savagely could they be quite sure that she would want nothing more to do with them — ever…

And by remaining silent Jean had implicitly rejected her as violently as Michael. She understood that now. Even if she wanted to, she could never again enjoy Monique's trust and affection — or her love. The incision which Michael had made with his words had been sharp and deep but perhaps, in the long run, it would prove merciful.

She could only pray that Monique would find some way to heal the wounds they had caused her. If she didn't — then they would be as guilty of her death as if they had plunged a knife into her…

Michael was squeezing her hand. She opened her eyes and he got up from the settee, drawing her with him.

“Let's go up to bed, darling", he whispered. “I want to make the sweetest, gentlest love to you that I can…

He led her to the foot of the stairs and they paused for a moment. The hall light sent their shadows racing ahead of them — twisted, dark, elongated shapes which seemed to stain the stair carpet a forbidding black.

They walked quickly up to their bedroom, holding each other very tightly.
