MARRIAGE CAN BE FUN " THE FERRIDAY FIREBALL



   (M F F m)





   Qualification



   This is adult material.  If you don't like it or disapprove, try to find
another interest.



   The Story



   I've been married to three times.  Each wife has been able to help me
enjoy extra curricular fun in her own special way.



   These are some of my memories.



   Wife three is Cathy.  We married when she was 44.  A tall (for a woman),
brunette with a delightful small breasted figure.  I found that she was
susceptible to sexual stimulation from third party events and situations in
a way that I hadn't experienced with a woman before.



   She is the youngest of three children, (the others were brother, David
and sister Pat).  Her parents are still alive with father Eric 72 (at the
time of this tale) and slightly loosing it and Edith 68.  Edith was in many
ways an older version of Cathy and has stayed slim, bright and active.



   It was clear there was a special bond between Cathy and her mother. 
Cathy loved her, identified with her and often showed resent that her
father hadn't been more active and adventurous to give her mother a better
time.  I was often reminded, "Mum has never had any real fun".  That really
wasn't true but it became a driver for remarkable experiences and some
exciting revelations.



   I got on well with my in laws and we saw them a lot.  Cathy was always
anxious to involve me and to press that I treated the whole family as if
they were blood relations.  This was particularly so in relation to mother
in law Edith.  Every time we met or returned to their home when staying
with them I was almost instructed to "Give mum a kiss".



   I saw no problem and pecked on the cheek.  But, quickly this wasn't
enough.  One evening when alone I was told, "The way you kiss Mum seems
like you don't like her; kiss her lips you are one of the family".  Again
no problem.  The next time the issue arose I kissed on the lips.  Lips that
responded and opened slightly.  Taking the hint, the next time I lingered a
little, no more than a few seconds but Edith hung in there.



   Cathy was clearly delighted and I was complimented.  " Mum never has any
fun, she'll love the thought of a man wanting to kiss her.  It makes me so
happy, can't you kiss her longer?"



   I obliged and that next kiss must have been twenty seconds with Edith's
lips parting and our tongues making contact.  Also without thinking my arms
went around her and I pulled her close.  This continued for several months
with the period of the kiss extending even in front of father in law.



   One visit we went to the theatre and enjoyed a few drinks afterwards. 
On return to the family home I was encouraged to kiss goodnight when we had
all enjoyed a few drinks.  Without thinking I went into what was almost a
snog with mother in law.  At the point I felt we should finish, she pulled
me back for a second event.



   In bed Cathy was hyper randy.  I was soon in her and we quickly both
moved to climax.  Stimulated by her demeanour, I stayed erect and began a
second rolling type fuck.  Cathy just laid back and let it happen, clearly
relishing every second.  I don't know why but a bolt of realisation hit me.
I asked "Does it excite you when I kiss your mother?"



   The response was very positive.  She liked thinking that Edith was
having fun and she liked watching me with her mother.  To develop the
position I told her that I enjoyed it too (well it was the truth!). 
Immediately her hips began to move quicker in response to my thrusts.



   "Why don't you touch her, she would like that?" came the lust driven
question.  When I asked where, I was told on the breasts and her back
arched in orgasm.  Will do I thought if it gets you going like this!



   We left early next morning for a day trip to London.  On our evening
return we let ourselves in to find the in laws in the living room watching
television.  Edith stood up to greet us, pecked Cathy and turned to me.  I
took her in my arms and with Eric watching started a long French kiss. 
Half way through I moved my right hand, slipped it between us and cupped
Edith's left breast.  It was larger than Cathy's, quite firm and in a
sensible bra.  Edith sighed and I could feel a stiff nipple through the
material.



   There was silence.  Edith and Cathy were clearly elated.  Eric beamed at
seeing his wife touched up and was rubbing his cock through his trousers.



   We ate dinner and settled down for television with Cathy managing
arrangements such that it was Edith and I on the sofa with me on the right.
Large drinks were served and glasses recharged over a period of about an
hour.  We were all a little pissed



   In a natural break between programme Cathy suggested " I bet Mum would
like another kiss, I know I'd like to see one" I asked about Eric and was
told not to worry "He's three quarters pissed and I think he'll enjoy it".



   When we sat down again I eased across the sofa and slipped my left arm
around Edith.  I was starting a kiss and cuddle session with my 68-year-old
mother in law with her daughter and husband watching.  She moved to
accommodate my arm and pressed up against me.  After a minute or two I
leant across and sought a kiss with no rejection.



   On the second kiss I went for the left breast again; at first over her
blouse and then I slipped fingers inside it and the bra.  Nearly
70-year-old tit feels good in the right circumstance.  Over the period of I
guess 20 minutes of kissing and cuddling, I undid the blouse and pulled the
bra up so that her breasts were revealed.  Slightly pendulous but brilliant
for age.  The nipples were like pokers and I lent forward and sucked on
one.



   Edith's motor was running and her hips rocking.  I looked across the
room to see Father in Law staring and Cathy with her hand up her skirt
masturbating.  Heaven!



   I decided to move on whilst the lights were green.  Edith's skirt was
loose and her legs slightly parted.  I ran my hands on her thighs up under
the skirt.  She was not wearing tights (panty hose) so that with no
obstruction, I reached the panties.  Wet panties!



   I slipped my hand under the elastic, found my bearings and went straight
for her clit.  She was dripping wet and reacted immediately, thrusting
against my fingers.  I moved my fingers quickly and gently.  Within moments
my mother in law arched her back and grunted through an orgasm.



   I sensed someone near and looked up to see Cathy kneeling in front of
her mother.  She asked if it was nice and did the old girl want more! 
Edith smiled embarrassedly and nodded.  "Then lets get these out of the
way!" Cathy went under her Mother's skirt, hooked her fingers in the panty
elastic and rolled them down with Edith easing off the sofa to get them
over her hips.  I tried but couldn't see the promised land.



   Cathy looked at me "This is fabulous, I'm so happy and excited" she
murmured and kissed me.



   Returning to my work, I began to suck my mother in law's right nipple
and slipped my hand back between her legs.  "Nice?" I asked.  She smiled
and simply said "Yes".



   This time I got my fingers inside her.  This was the oldest cunt I'd
ever played with and I was curious.  It felt the same and was tighter than
I expected.



   I finger fucked her for a while as she arched, bucked and groaned.  As I
slipped out to go back to her clit, there was another surprise.



   Suddenly her hand was in my crotch and she was rubbing my now rock hard
dick through my trousers.  "Get it out please," she whispered, "I want to
wank you!" I couldn't move fast enough.  Showing her experience, she went
for it with her left hand " just the right position and pressure.  She
wanked slowly.



   I went back to her clit and the effect was instant.  She almost roared,
arched from the waist went stiff and had a shattering orgasm.  Then she
went all soft.  My cock slipping from her hand.



   I withdrew my hand and smelt it.  68-year-old fanny smells good.  I
pecked Edith on her lips and pulled her skirt down.  She was very relaxed.



   My hard on was even worse now.  I asked Cathy to use her mouth but as
she started to come towards me I said "It would excite me if you did your
Dad first".  She hesitated but, without a word, went between her Father's
legs and began the task.



   The old man jumped when her mouth touched him but soon relaxed as her
wet mouth sensations hit him.  Cathy is a first class cocksucker so it
wasn't a surprise her technique probably linked with the incestuous
stimulation that in moments Eric stiffened (no pun) and clearly came in her
mouth.  She moved to me and began the same.  I could feel the silkiness of
Eric's sperm in her mouth.  If anything I took less time than him but
certainly enjoyed the sensation as much.  We had all come then since Cathy
had done herself at least twice.



   There was silence for a while as we all reflected.  Edith broke it.  She
sat up, adjusted her bra and blouse and asked, "Who would like a cup of
tea?" and went to the kitchen.



   Her discarded pants lay in front of the sofa as the only evidence of a
truly erotic hour.



   I ran it through my mind.  I had snogged my 68-year-old mother in law
and masturbated her to two orgasms whilst she played with my dick.  My
72-year-old father in Law had watched and fondled himself whilst his
daughter had masturbated herself to orgasm.  She had then sucked her father
and then me off whilst her mother watched.  Was that a blue movie synopsis
or what?



   The following morning we were awakened by Edith knocking at the bedroom
door.  She came in with tea but fully made up with a flowing housecoat and
high heels.  She looked great.



   At Cathy's bidding she sat on the bed and they began talking about the
day.  I laid back and looked.  Had I really sucked those tits and wanked
her?  Why hadn't I got to see her cunt?  Was Cathy going to leave it there?



   I noticed that Cathy was caressing her Mother's knee as they talked.  I
moved my hand under the covers to caress her fanny.  It was wet and
responsive.  It clearly pushed her on because next she suggested her mother
was cold and that she should slip in with us to continue their chat in
comfort.  However, Mum should remove the housecoat or it would become
creased.



   This Edith did revealing herself in just a black bra and pants.  That
was the most I'd seen until then.  It didn't look bad " perhaps just
beginning to go a little scrawny on the thighs and showing a little bone
above the breast but good.  Sensing something was about to happen I went to
the bathroom and when I returned Edith was in the middle of the bed
laughing with Cathy.



   I slipped in and the process started: "Aren't you going to kiss Mum good
morning?"

   Great, I thought and duly obliged slipping my hand between her thighs.
There were no panties (or bra) and she was soaking wet.  I got only with
some serious diddling and she began to writhe and moan.  As the previous
evening, her hand moved and squeezed my erection protruding from my pj's.



   I slipped my head under the covers to suck a nipple and the smell of
cunt was intense.  As my lips touched it, she came.  There was nothing
wrong with the old lady's sex drive.



   For really the first time she started talking to me about what we were
doing.  As she slowly wanked me, she told me that she had always loved sex
and had never missed a chance to enjoy it with others and with her family.
"And now you are one of are family" " I was to learn later what this would
mean.



   Then, "I'm ready again.  Fuck me!" I scrabbled out of my pj's and moved
into position.  A smiling Cathy put my dick on target and I pushed into the
68-year-old woman.  What a sensation, my worry was I wouldn't last long. 
As I reached the "hilt" she rolled her hips and in what was less that 20
seconds I was there.  She had hardly started.



   I apologised but was reassured that I was expected to be quick this
first time.  " Don't move and we'll get it up again, you'll like this". 
She gestured to Cathy to move close and they kissed.  I mean French kiss
and with Edith feeling a breast!  I was back and went at it.  We matched
each other thrust for thrust over what was a respectable period.  Cathy
pulled back the bed covers and you could hear the wet slush of cock in
cunt. As I felt the sperm rising again, my pace and intensity increased;
Edith went with me and we came almost together.  Ecstasy.



   "That was great, I'm going to enjoy you but we must be careful my
Daughter's wanking herself silly watching".



   After lunch and a stroll Cathy suggested that we might have some more
fun.  I was doubtful, I had come twice in the morning and didn't want to be
seen to fail.  "Oh don't worry I bet we can do something to get you going.
Come up in half an hour" I should explain that the in laws home was a
rambling old Victorian building with the main and one guest room having a
sitting area.  Great for hanky panky.



   I waited downstairs chatting to Eric about this and that.  As I rose to
go upstairs, he asked "Are you going to fuck Edith?" When I confirmed he
chuckled "Dirty bitch she fucks everybody"



   In the bedroom they both greeted me in housecoats and high heels.  They
sat me in a chair whilst clearly planning to sit side by side on the sofa.
Both took their housecoats off to show they were only wearing white
suspenders and white stockings " a particular fetish of mine.  I was
fascinated at Edith's body and particularly her cunt.  The hair was
lightening and thinning but the cunt itself was magnificent.  Large lips
with a pronounced clitoral mound and puffed up from that morning's use.



   They sat with legs wide apart and began to masturbate.  It seemed unfair
on Cathy (I'd seen her before) but I couldn't take my eyes off my mother in
law.  At first she ran two fingers up and down her slit spreading the
juice. Then, using the classic three finger style, turned attention to her
clitoris.  Slowly at first building up the sensation.



   Cathy was using the same style (like mother ...) and looking at their
faces, their eyes were full and flesh taut.  They were beginning to enjoy
themselves.  Edith slumped further on the sofa and smiled " You like seeing
me wank don't you?  I love doing it for a man.  From now on you can ask
anytime and I'll wank for you!"



   Her fingers sped up with Cathy close behind.  I loved it.  Watching
females wank has always been a massive turn on.  Seeing an elderly mother
and daughter doing it together was incredible.



   Now there was silence as the girls concentrated on the job in (under)
hand.  There were occasional squelches and I noticed Edith was rubbing a
breast with her left hand.  Then both their speeds increased and the
occasional groan or strain sound arose.



   Cathy came first arching against her fingers and moaning.  It kicked her
Mother off too and she followed.  Thundering cums no doubt intensified by
the situation.  Edith smiled "Good?" I nodded.  "I'll do it again".  The
fingers started to move.



   But I was rock hard and bursting.  I pushed Edith back across her
Daughter's knees and was up her in one thrust.  Cathy bent down and kissed
her Mother whilst her hand toyed with the old woman's nipple.  It didn't
take either of us long.  I deposited my third gift on the day into Edith
and was totally satiated.



   That evening the in laws had to go to a neighbourhood "do".  It gave me
the opportunity to question Cathy.  What I learnt took some believing. 
Apparently Edith had always been hyper randy (indeed Cathy felt she was
slowing down).  Throughout Cathy's life her mother had numerous male and
female lovers but also looked to the family.  They had been worried I
wouldn't approve!



   From as early as Cathy could remember her mother had played with her in
a sexual sense and from about five she had sex with her mother.  She still
did " mutual masturbation, scissors frottage, vibrators: anything that was
nice.  She had also fucked her father regularly with her mother's
encouragement.  This explained why my request for an Eric blowjob hadn't
been a problem.



   Edith had had minor relationships with Cathy's brother and sister but
they lacked the sexuality of Cathy.  However, Edith had been more
successful with her grandchildren.



   She regularly had the brother's daughter Hannah (now 23) and the son Ian
(18) but they weren't open about it.  The excitement was that sister Pat's
change of life son Nick was now in her sights.  Point was that he was only
10 and Edith had to be very careful, not least of Pat.



   Cathy's idea was that since it was summer holidays Nick should visit us
along with her Mum who needed to use some local shops.  Edith could then go
for him and we could design a way of watching.  Cathy had made it a
condition of our facilitating that Nick eventually fucked her as well.  I
drank to that!



   So three weeks later they arrived at our home.  When the boy wasn't
looking I gave Edith a solid kiss and a quick grope.  As ever, she
surprised me by doing the same to Cathy and persisting until she came.



   We eat dinner, talked, watched television and drank.  Both were charming
guests and the evening went past quickly.  After Edith's pressing, Nick
went to bed and we had a council of war.



   Her plan was to begin her strategy the following afternoon.  She thought
she needed to get him curious and excited and that the best way was to use
my Internet Explorer.  His mother had mentioned that there was evidence he
was wanking so she would be pushing on an open door.  We decided to save
ourselves sexually and went to bed.



   The next afternoon we made as if going out leaving them together.  The
spying was easy since we had anti theft cameras throughout the house.  I
made certain that the study one was pointing right such that in close up I
could see the PC and in a slightly longer shot my sofa.  Edith looked great
with a cotton blouse and skirt and she had told us, no pants and bra.  Nick
was wearing shorts.



   I had plugged a video out put into our bedroom and we settled down to
watch.  I must confess I'd never seen anything like what was planned, not
even on video.  A 68-year-old woman seducing her 10-year-old grandson.



   Edith was amazing.  She suggested that as they were alone Nick could
show her the Internet.  They began and she patiently waited until there
came the chance to ask, "what about those naughty pictures I read about?  I
saw something in that Favourites list you showed me" (we had set that up so
she knew where to work and the password was on auto).



   They were soon rewarded with some splendid shots of all sorts of
actions. Cathy commented on Nick's trouser bulge.  Edith began to ask
questions.  Yes he did like looking at women with no clothes and seeing men
touch them.  Yes he liked big breasts.  No, he hadn't ever seen or touched
real breasts.



   "Would you like to?" his Grandmother asked.  He nodded vigorously. 
"Well we must keep it secret.  Here." She took his hand and pressed it to
her breast.  He stated to become a man.



   Over the next 15 minutes did we have a show.  He touched her breast, she
took her blouse off and he looked, he sucked her nipple, her skirt came
off, he looked at her cunt, he felt her cunt, he admitted that he wanked
and would like to at that point.  She took his clothes off (a beautiful
four inch cock standing bolt upright), he showed her how he wanked, she
showed him how she did, she wanked him off and he produced a little semen,
she sucked him and he got stiff again and then she sucked him off.  Much of
the time when she had a free right had she was masturbating furiously as
were Cathy and I.



   She warned then that we were due back soon but would be out the next
afternoon and if he wanted, she would show him how to fuck.  Then she asked
what he thought of his Aunt Cathy, Was she sexy?  Would he like to feel
her? The answer was affirmative.



   The next day we settled down in the bedroom and made certain there was a
new tape in the machine.  They were soon naked and Edith sucked him off
quickly (this was part of her plan to prolong his next performance).  She
then spread herself on the sofa, took Nick's hand and pulled him on top of
her.



   It looked slightly incongruous because of the difference in their
heights.  As she guided his cock into her cunt, his forehead was on her
breasts.  But, what a sight and what an experience for him.  He pushed in
instinctively but then didn't move.  She spoke gently and he experimented.
Nature did the rest, he moved with a rhythm.  She sensibly kept still and
let him enjoy.  It only took a few moments until he went stiff and gasped.
I was surprised he could get enough friction but I guess the situation
added to that.



   Edith lay there with him still, albeit I guess shrinking in her.  She
rocked her hips against him and came herself.  Then we heard her say, "My
God, you're stiff again".  She put it back in and he fucked her again.  A
little bit longer this time.  Edith again rubbed herself to orgasm and
probably the most exciting thing I've ever seen was over.



   Talking before dinner that evening Edith confessed that the whole
business had blown her mind.  "I just want to do more and more with him!"
Nick himself had gone to hang out or whatever it is young people do.  In
that period he met someone who would push my rating of the afternoon.



   That evening Cathy took the bull by the horns.  Over dinner and after
letting Nick have a glass of wine she commented " I hear you've been having
a good time with your Gran?  Do you like fucking?" Nick to his credit
didn't reply until Edith prompted him by saying it was OK to tell us but no
one else.



   Then he smiled "Yeah, it was great, I fucked her twice"



   Cathy didn't let it go.  Did he want to fuck his Gran again?  Did he
want to fuck her?  Did he wank a lot?  Had he seen his sister with with no
clothes?  On it went with the atmosphere getting steamier and Cathy and
Edith getting progressively pissed



   Finally she popped the question.  Was that right he had a big cock.  If
he'd show it her, she'd show him her cunt.  Out came the cock, stiff again
(oh to be young again).  Cathy felt it, and then spread her legs pushing
his head under her skirt so he could see her cunt.  She got up and leading
him by the hand took Nick upstairs.  Edith and I shared a bed that night
beginning with an old fashioned fuck.



   For the next few days the women didn't leave Nick alone.  They
encouraged him to be naked in the house and every time he went stiff, his
cock went up one of them.  They also schooled him in female masturbation.
One afternoon I found Cathy in the conservatory with Nick fisting her as
she sucked her Mother.  The next evening with all three naked, they had him
on the sofa and wanked and sucked until a stiffie enabled each to be fucked
in turn



   On about day five, the Friday Nick mentioned that he had made a friend.
It was a lad his age who was staying with his family in a rented caravan on
the site behind the pub in the village.  He was leaving the next day. 
Could he invite him for lunch?



   We then chatted about the lad.  He was from London and his name was
Junior.  We pressed quietly and got the confirmation that he was black "
his grandparents originated in the West Indies.  Knowing how many of
Edith's generation feel about coloured people I had a total erotic thought.
As Nick fetched a drink I asked her if she fancied fucking Junior.  Cathy
jumped in and said how exciting it would be and you could sense Edith
gritting her teeth as she agreed.



   We pressed Nick further.  They had talked about sex and played with each
other's dicks.  Junior had fucked an eight-year-old girl in London.  He
also smoked pot.  Talk about alien to these middle class women.  He had
also boasted about his Gran!



   Junior arrived for lunch.  He was an athletic good-looking boy standing
the best part of six inches taller than Nick.  It was pouring with rain and
both lads were clearly pleased to have a berth for the afternoon.  Over
lunch I offered wine and both accepted two glasses.  The talk got looser.
Whilst the women were clearing I asked Junior if he believed Nick about his
Gran.  The lad went stiff with embarrassment and just smiled.  I pressed.
Did he wank?  Would he like the women to wank him?  You bet he would!  I
suggested that the three of us get the women pissed and they might do what
we wanted.



   The girls, who were in the know, played to the theme marvellously.  They
drank away and soon began acting pissed and I think they were a little.  I
suggested a game of forfeits.  I would be the question master and if you
gave a wrong answer, then I would direct a penalty.



   The questions were loaded.  Easy for two ten year olds, mainly sport. 
The first couple of girlie forfeits were easy but then I moved on.  Cathy
got one wrong and she had to kiss Nick.  Then Edith and it was her with
Junior.  Seeing the older white woman open mouthing with the black mouth
hit me immediately.



   The penalties then became progressive until both women had been
thoroughly groped, then lost their clothes, then Cathy wanked Nick and
Edith wanked Junior.  Both came in an instant.  The bony white hand around
an impressive black cock.



   The next penalty used mouths to get the lads stiff again (a white granny
with "black" sperm) and the next was the real thing.  Edith lay out and
Junior needed no hints.  He climbed on board, Edith guided him in and away
they went.  Junior was about six inches and could last.  The sight was
tremendous.  The black against the white, Edith's grey hair, young and old,
the sounds; use your imagination.  Junior looked up at me and smiled. 
Edith went wild I think it was her sensing the totally infra dig and she
must have come from when he went in until after he came since she continued
her rubbing game.



   Junior pulled out and I motioned Nick and then I followed.  By this time
the lads were up again and both did Cathy.



   The lads went off with Junior sworn to secrecy.  Edith was out of her
skull by then and lay naked, chatting and reminiscing whilst playing with
herself from time to time.  Her cunt was slimy and her speed of finger
movement varied as the tale caught her.  She told some powerful stories:
how she had their best man the night before the wedding and him and his
wife on her 40th anniversary; the mother she had befriended when she lived
in London and how they both spent late afternoons masturbating each others
8 year old sons; the man on holiday in Malta.  It just went on.



   Since that time, Edith is now in her early 80's and has slowed down "
she can't take a fuck but still enjoys a hand job and long scissors
sessions with Cathy; we've all had a ball.  She remained true to her
promise and will wank whenever I ask.  The best was in the car on our way
back from church with her dressed up like a little old lady.



   She and I spent many an evening stretched out on the sofa with her skirt
around her waist and either my hand or hers busy between her legs.  She
tells me she had a god wank reading this!
