Statistically, if two people want a successful and socially acceptable relationship, they have to: 1) be in love 2) be of opposite sexes 3) be both aged over 16 4) be not married or similarly committed to anyone else 5) be of similar background, intelligence, education, religion and political persuasion 6) be of the same race, and preferably distantly related, i.e. second to tenth cousins 7) be aged so that the man is on average two and a half years older (success can be achieved if the man is between two years younger and twelve years older than the woman) 8) share at least two distinctive facial features, e.g. eyes, nose, or bone structure 9) take great delight in the smell, the texture, and the appearance of each others' bodies. Failure to meet one or more of these criteria can result, or at some time in some part of the world has resulted, in adverse consequences ranging from failure of the relationship, to social ostracism, to criminal convictions, and quite often in death. This is a story about a basically decent but amoral character called Roger who has had a number of relationships, each of which has met some, but not all of these characteristics, and who, in the end finds love... BACKGROUND The story was inspired by Elspeth, a friend of my ex-wife. She lived alone in Wales. When I first met her, she seemed to be a pinched, anxious, obsessive, almost tragic figure. Brian, the man she grew up with, lived alone in London, stumbling from one hopeless relationship to another. One day they came to dinner with us, and I don't think I have ever seen two people so happy and so excited in each other's company. I hadn't met Brian before, but Elspeth was transformed. She was radiant, beautiful, relaxed, in short she was complete. They were not lovers, so far as I know, but they should have been. Or maybe not. Maybe they had the perfect relationship without being lovers. But this is a story, and I can do what I like with the people in it!

They weren't burned, but they had flopped. Her 'boyfriend' Griff, a man of wealth and good nature, but whose intellect might have embarrassed a small worm, tried to be helpful. "You need plenty of cinnamon," he said, having failed to read the label on the jar and liberally sprinkling chilli powder. "Different," said his daughter, the shy and voluptuous Jenny, when the nature of the disaster became clear. "I'll try anything once," Griff said, gingerly biting into one of the objects. "Except incest and morris dancing," I added. A little red blush appeared on Jenny's neck. "You do realise," said Melissa giggling, "that Griff is the secretary of the Glynehall Morris?" "I'll try anything once," I said, "except quoting from Noel Coward." Melissa called an adjournment while she rustled up a Baked Alaska. * Melissa was the part-time archivist at the video production company where I worked. Everyone thought I was having an affair with her, but I wasn't. But I liked her. No. To be honest, and I had not admitted the fact even to myself, I was in love with her, and I fancied her dead rotten. In fact I'm still in love with her. Always will be. Although still seriously 'fit, she was eleven years older, and she looked it, and she had children. My attraction for her wasn't convenient, so I viewed it with caution. But I loved her. I loved chatting with her, I loved her warmth and humour, and the femininity that she never flaunted. Most of the women I worked had the harshness of failed ambition. For most of them it was second best, having failed to get into acting or television. They advertised their insecurity with luminous lipstick and silly shoes, but Melissa was sex on legs without even trying: no make-up, no perfume, long shapeless skirts and lumpy jumpers. She was wise and amusing - she had been though one marriage and she was trying to make up her mind about a second. At the time, my ten-year relationship with Stephanie, my girlfriend from art school, was slowly, painfully, fizzling out. I was beginning to think that the only way to save it was to make it official. I phoned Melissa. I told myself I wanted to bounce some ideas off her, but in truth, I wanted to bask for a while in her feminine warmth. "Are you okay?" she said when she heard my voice. "No, not really. Can we meet for a chat? Like now?" "Well, I am going out soon. Griff's taking me to the Pelham Court fireworks concert. They won't let us in if we're late." "It won't take long," I replied, wondering who Griff was, and why women so often use names without explaining who these names belong to. I raced over to her flat. Her car was there, but then it would be if she had already left with this Griff bloke... I climbed the stairs. The light was on behind the frosted glass door. I knocked, and my heart knocked, from an unexpected and powerful arousal. Which was mixed with anxiety that Griff had already whisked her away. I waited, but there was no answer. I could hear the sound of a hair drier in the distance. When the noise stopped, I called her name. "Sorry, I wasn't expecting you yet," she called, "hang on a minute." I could see the outline of her nakedness as she nipped across the hall into a bedroom. Another wait, a long wait. And then she opened the door. She was gorgeous, in a green ball gown that showed her off to perfection. I couldn't take my eyes off the little blue veins on her breasts, diving invitingly into her cleavage. I tripped over the doormat and banged my head on the plant stand, sending it flying. "Leave it, you'll only break something else" she said, as I fussed my apologies and offered to clear up the mess. "What do you think?" she said, as she did a twirl to show off her elegance. "Wow!" "You think it suits me?" "You bet!" And then I talked a lot of nonsense and got out the ring. My delicious friend and colleague blushed, and started giggling when I said about Stephanie. I didn't see what was funny. A year later, she told me she thought I was going to propose to her. More fool me, I didn't, but she gave me a hug as I left. I felt the flesh on her ribs, her breasts pressed against me. I could smell the warm womanliness of her body and her hair. And that evening, I drove 600 miles to Inverness to see Stephanie - who smiled very sweetly, and turned me down flat. And kept the ring. I fell asleep at the wheel on the way back, and smashed up the car. Which all in all, did not add up to a weekend of unalloyed joy. I was sore. I had to share the pain - with Melissa (who else?). And I had to go on my bike. She cooked a delicious lasagne, and we talked until the blackbirds sang. Edging around this massive sex thing between us, we didn't even kiss goodbye, but talking and talking with Melissa was as good as a really good fuck. Pedalling back in the cold grey dawn, I saw a tethered llama grazing on the village green. It added a dream touch to a wonderful evening. A couple of days later, Melissa said she had spoken to her friend Griff, and if the shop where I had got the ring from wouldn't take it back, he would give me a fair price. How about dinner on Friday at her place? She said she would arrange a surprise for me, a really nice surprise. I didn't have the heart to say that Steph had kept the ring. Apart from the fact that they had helped each other through their respective, messy divorces, it's hard to see what Griff Gasgoigne and Melissa had in common. He wasn't much of a talker and he didn't share her wide artistic interests, though to give him credit, he tried. Griff had inherited the family business, and it was slowly falling down around his ears - not that it really mattered - the family were loaded. Gasgoigne & Stone had once had branches all over the Sussex, but had sold out to the big boys. Now there was just the one shop, where Griff, a skilful craftsman, but a crap designer, tried to sell the hideous and absurd objects he made. He also did bespoke work, and since I hadn't totally given up on the idea that rocks get your rocks off, I thought he might be able to make something for Stephanie that I had designed. Friday came. I thought of taking some of my better sketches, but they were only sketches, and I left them behind, all apart from one, a water colour painting I had done of a ruby ear-ring. I had specialised in jewellery for my fine art degree. An embarrassing incident, and the fact that I wasn't good enough to be one of the few who made it big time in design, led me to turn my back on jewellery and do something different. In the end, I thought it was enough for one evening to be introduced, and I left the painting in the car. I wondered what the surprise could be... I sort of fantasised that it was all bollocks about Griff, and that the surprise would be a scrumptious seduction - I half hoped it wasn't - I didn't feel ready. But I only half hoped... * The surprise... was Griff's daughter Jenny. She was blonde, bronzed, with a lovely shy smile, gorgeous legs, a butt to die for, delicious soft round arms, and a shapeless bust bundled up in a bulletproof bra. It was all quite shameless - Melissa wasn't making enough to live in the style to which she had become accustomed, and was trying to make it with Griff. And Jenny was getting in the way. Jenny had a place of her own, but Jason, her dangerous and abusive ex, had taken to turning up and lurking, so she was staying a lot at her father's place. Griff's ancient half-timbered cottage, though beautiful, was not set up for convenience - the bathroom was off the main bedroom, and though there was a shower room downstairs off the utility room, it was cold and the dogs jumped up and bothered you. Melissa was getting frankly sick of Jenny's habit of parading through the bedroom in a state of undress. Griff, for his part, wanted his daughter to have someone with prospects and an income, someone who would respect her and not whip her, someone who would lead her away from the dope-smoking no-hopers she usually stuck around with. If Melissa is to be believed, he wanted also to avoid being seen to be aroused by the sight of his delicious, half-naked daughter, and he wanted perhaps even more to be able to make love without Jenny coming in to watch him. And Jenny, perhaps aware she was being manipulated, didn't seem to know what to say to me. I guessed she was a bit in awe of me. I was eight years older, doing well in an interesting job, a man of the world. While Melissa and Griff squabbled over the Baked Alaska, I took Jenny up through the trapdoor onto the roof. I climbed up first, took her hand to help her up, and did not let go. She was nervous still, and pulled away. Perhaps thinking she didn't have anything 'intelligent' to say, she rambled on about her house, her lodgers: Peg the crop-haired computer operator; and Benedict the flight attendant who 'needed a place to crash near Gatwick'. "Unfortunate way of putting it," I said. Jenny laughed, and she looked so lovely laughing that I had to kiss her. "What do you call a girl with green pubic hair," I said. "Dunno," she said, blushing at my directness. "Jenny Grass-groin." She smiled. Her eyes shone. I thought she would have heard that one - but when I come to think of it, she was too young to have remembered Bamber Gasgoigne or to have read the appalling grass-groin jokes in student magazines. "You'll never guess what colour it is," she said. "Brown? Same colour as your eyebrows?" "I said you'll never guess," she said, to my other suggestions. * Jenny had found her tongue, and having found it, went on and on about the difficulty of getting tickets for the Gasworks concert the next day. Gasworks seem to have disappeared now, but they played beautifully on classical instruments and sung so clearly you could hear every word of the lyrics. The only pity about them was that the lyrics were the sort of bollocks that appeals to thick people with philosophical pretensions. People like Jenny, in fact - her favourite book, which she read and re-read, was The Outsider, a load of pseudo-existential drivel written by Colin someone or other. "Do you want to go?" I said, perhaps redundantly. "I can get us in for free. On one condition." "What's that?" "You'll never guess," I said with a wink, "but you'll have to help me carry my equipment." "Is that all?" she said, pouting and pretending to look disappointed. * We met in the car park of the hotel where Gasworks were playing. I pinned a large 'Fahrenheit Productions' badge to her shirt, and while I was doing that, I kissed her and squeezed on her steel belted radial all-weather bra. I couldn't feel much through all the scaffolding, but Jenny seemed to enjoy it. The concert was brilliant. The lead singer had laryngitis, but the musicians were in fine fettle. I had shot all the footage I needed in the first hour, so we took the kit back to the company van, and went back to dance. Elated from the dancing, we kissed in the front of the van. "You were going to show me something," I said. "Can't. Not yet." I wondered if she had found God, or whatever it is that persuades a girl to deny access to her pubes. My disappointment must have shown on my face. She blushed. I lifted her skirt, and kissed the middle of her thigh, and nuzzled my way upwards. She wasn't wearing knickers... Once upon a time, I went a bit loopy and grew a beard. It looked awful. It itched, and women didn't like kissing me through it. But facial hair can look good. Some men are made by it, and in others it can hide an absurdity. There is nothing so elegant as a beard in a woman of ambiguous and uncomfortable sexuality. And I rather like underarm hair - I think it looks cute, though most women think they need to shave it, and it's in a place where nobody thinks to kiss. So what is the point of this ridiculous pubic shrubbery, except to spoil a man's enjoyment of the taste of honeyed cunt? Jenny wasn't wearing knickers, and her pubic hair was not green or brown or blonde. It was the best colour of all - it simply was not there. An absolute peach of a pube, a naked pube: strong, meaty outer lips, a pert erect clitoris, and long lovely inner lips that opened like the wings of a dragon. And as I put my tongue in her lips, I knew what the earring was for. Though it was some time before I dared to mentioned it. This was 1986, long before body piercing became the common thing. I'd read about labia piercing in a porn mag, but the only piercings I had ever seen were in earlobes... "Don't know why, but I just started plucking it," she said. "It feels so much nicer." "You can say that again." * About three weeks later, when we were coming back from a night out in London, Jenny asked me if I have ever done it on a train. "No," I said, "but I'll try anything once." We'd been dating for three weeks now. She was fun, gorgeous, passionate, spontaneous and daring to the point of crazy. "You serious?" I said. "Mmm..." she said, with a delicious, inviting smile. I was just thinking about it when two men and two women, well-dressed, in their fifties, came into the compartment. I changed my mind. "No," I said. We had fucked a dozen fucks - quickies, in hard and public places... I wanted her slowly. I wanted to taste every gorgeous inch of her in comfort and privacy. I wanted her in my bed. I wanted to wake up to the scent and the smile of her. "I want you to stay with me tonight." She looked worried and upset. "I can't." "Look," I said, "I don't snore, I don't lash out in my sleep, I don't sleepwalk, and I can sleep on the sofa if you really don't like the idea of waking up with me." "Don't think that, please." "You've no idea how much I want to wake up with you," she said, and I hugged her close... * She likes Ovaltine, so I made her some, and we went upstairs to the bedroom. She was nervous - which I thought was a bit weird in a girl who had wanted to do it on the train. She sat on the bed, sipped the Ovaltine and took off her jewellery. She had started to unbutton her blouse, and asked me to turn out the light. I could still see her by the light of the moon, her eyes huge and shining, afraid. Her pants were off, her tangle of rings and bangles were off, her socks and shirt and knickers. She was delicious, damn-nearly perfect, but she wouldn't part with her bra. "You won't laugh, will you?" she said. "Promise me you won't laugh." "Laugh at what?" I said. "Jason laughed." "Bugger Jason".... Jason, the brutal abusive bastard, I could have killed him. She still had the marks where he had hit her with a riding crop... "Promise you won't laugh at my tits?" she said. "Why ever should I?" "Because they flop." "I ADORE floppy tits." "You mean that?" "Watch me," I said. "Wow!" I said. My pecker rose to attention as her boobs, released from her bra, flopped. Seriously flopped, like last month's party balloons. Big, strong nipples, about three inches below where nipples had a right to be on a woman of 23. Private, sexy, amazing boobs. I kissed them and sucked them and explored them, stringy, bunched in lumps at the bottom of the bags. "Just adore them," I said, just to be sure, sucking her nipples until she came, and I made her promise to make ice-cream for me when one day she came into milk. * Jenny, as I said, is not much of a talker, but when she gets going on a subject, she can talk you into a coma. One such subject was her breasts. She showed me pictures from her childhood, sweet sixteen and never been kissed - with perfect little boobs - not the long, sexy, fuck-making jugs she has now, but breasts to make a woman look well dressed. And to judge by the photos, she and most of her family seemed to spend most of their time in the buff.... Then the bottom fell out of her world - her mother went off to California with the man from the Co-operative Bank. Which left Jenny with a certain sense of insecurity, for which there is only one cure, a really good fuck with someone you think the world of... So Jenny went on the Pill. She shot out from an A-cup to a double C - but the guy she adored didn't even notice she was trying to seduce him. Or if he did notice, he thought he was being honourable, but only made her feel more rejected than ever. "And the silly thing was," she said, "I needn't have gone on the Pill - he'd had a vasectomy." And if the person you adore won't fuck you, then there is only one thing to do about your insecurity, and that is to find someone really brutal to distract you from your pain... And thanks Jenny, I know that your other specialist subject is your ex-lovers, but I don't want to hear about Jason... * To make sure I didn't hear about Jason, I told her about Stephanie, my girlfriend from my art college days, who had got this really well paid, but seasonal job as art director at some sort of millionaire's dude ranch near Inverness. For four months, and a few long weekends a year, she was with me in Sussex. For the eight best months in the year, Steph was 600 miles away, while I worried about millionaires and their million ways to grab a girl's heart. As if my faithfulness could fend off millionaires, I stayed faithful. As if my abstinence could satisfy her cavernous cunt, I abstained. To compensate myself for my virtue, I wanked myself to sleep, imagining pleasures I had never had, which mostly didn't involve Stephanie. During one of those wanking months, Pam, a very special friend of mine, called me and asked if she could stay for a few days. She had just been dumped, with three weeks to go, and her wedding all arranged. I didn't fancy her that much, but I was lonely, and she was great company. Pam and I went back a long way. She was my 'best of best friends', and she'd had a thing for me since she was about twelve. But there had always been prettier girls around, and I didn't want to do anything to put out friendship at risk. I suppose I thought that if you go the whole hog, you either bust up or get married - there's no return to plain friendship. Pam was plain, in an anonymous, moonfaced way. When she put her mind to it, she could look stunning, but she didn't often bother. But she had the loveliest body I have ever seen. She knew it, and without ever being too obvious about it, she never missed a chance to make sure I knew it too. In time she went on to university, where she met Dave, a graduate student. Eventually they became engaged, and the wedding was arranged for the month after her finals. She signed off her last paper knowing everything was sorted: the dress; the invites; the honeymoon. At some point, Dave's family had found out that Pam wasn't Jewish, and threatened to disinherit him if he married a goy. No, it wasn't a threat, it was statement. Dave wasn't a bad bloke really - he didn't drop his bombshell until he was sure that Pam would not have to sit for a viva. I'm not sure what Pam really felt about Dave, but he had shown all the signs of being madly in love with her. She didn't feel so much betrayed as completely bewildered, and she looked to me for comfort. And one evening she was in tears and I hugged her. She told me she had all the tickets for the hotels Dave had booked in Paris, Venice and Corfu, and for the sailing boat cruise in the Aegean. She asked me if I wanted to come with her. I said nothing. I just got up and went to make coffee. Why did I turn down the chance of the holiday of a lifetime with my best of best friends? Jenny asked me the same question. "Because I wasn't in love," I said. "But you aren't in love with me either, are you?" said Jenny... I didn't know what to say... * Pam left the next morning, without so much as a word. The next thing I knew, and I think it was my mother who told me, Pam was getting engaged to this nerd called Arnold. Apparently, she had gone on the dream trip with this Canadian guy Arnold, whom Dave, in his kindness, had fixed her up with. I'd met the guy: the whole thing stank, and if you took an average of all the guys Pam had said she hated, you'd be pretty close to the image of Arnold. I phoned Pam. "You can't be marrying HIM!" I said. "What right have you to tell me what to do?" 'What right?' I thought. I was furious. I thought of the vicious things she had said about Stephanie, not to mention what she had said when I went out with sweet pretty Jessica, her classmate and oldest friend. "You always say what you think," I said. "Why can't I?" "Because you don't think. You don't see. You don't listen... You're useless and you're selfish and you're blind... And you weren't there when I needed you. Arnold was." Pam slammed the phone down on me and it was nearly twenty years before we spoke again. "Is she happy?" asked Jenny. "Dunno. Sort of lost touch. Last I heard they went to Canada, some town on Lake Ontario, Oshawa or something..." I don't know why I said that - it was true. My feelings for Pam were private and confused, and I didn't want to explain them to Jenny. What could I say? She had demolished my excuse that you should avoid sex with someone you liked, but you weren't in love with. I wasn't going to lie, nor was I going to deny that I did like Jenny a lot... "A beautiful fuck," she said, "is a beautiful fuck... Whoever it's with." * So I fucked her. A hard vicious fuck of strangers. I banged into her and she bit me as I came. And in the morning, when I laid her out for another one, she told me to wait, and she got her whips out from the underwear drawer. "It's something I need every three or four months," she explained. Well, like many men, and quite a few women, there is a thing inside me that lusts for the thwack of a whip ploughing into the creamy willing flesh of a voluptuous woman. There is a dark thing, which I do not wish to feed, which is turned on by a woman's silken thighs crossed with bruises and welts. "You'll love it," she said, with that same wicked smile that invited me to fuck her on the train. "That's what I'm afraid of. Anyway, doesn't it hurt?" "Of course it hurts. But afterwards you feel like it's washed away all your mental toxins... I trust you... Jason didn't know when to stop..." "I don't want to hear about Jason." I got up and started to get dressed... But there was something about her smooth, creamy, unblemished skin that made you want to mark it, damage it, personalise it in some way. And though I don't like pubic hair, there is something about the naked lips of a plucked pudendum that cries out for decoration. She was lying on the bed on her front, the sun shining on the round mounds of her buttocks, the whip scars on her, back, her thigh and her buttock still visible, but no longer red. "Turn over," I said. "Cunt rings," I said, taking her cunt lip in my hand. "Like ear rings, but through here." Jenny loved the idea, but a hole was needed, and neither of us had any idea how to go about making it. I suggested she borrowed her father's ear-piercing kit, and I gave the design to Griff for him to make up with an extra large stud. He liked it and asked if I had got any more designs... "Dad refused to pierce me," said Jenny when the stud was complete. I can't say I was surprised he had refused, but I was surprised she should have asked him. * We went to a party held by some people Jenny knew. Her brother Ronald was there: a dedicated breaker of hymens and hearts he was too. He had an old brass tobacco box: 'Gasgoigne's Patent Virginity Cure' was engraved on the lid. Corny, but it worked. I went into a room thinking it was the toilet, and Ronald was there, cracking a nun on the hearthrug. "At least I don't need to be jealous of him," I joked to Jenny afterwards. "Why not?" "Well, you aren't a virgin." "He's not fussy. He probably would if I asked him," said Jenny, kissing me, arousing me, "But I prefer an older man." "I'm not that old," I said. * Then another odd thing. It was New Year's Eve morning, and Jenny's washing machine was on the blink. Mine was a monster, so we went over to use Griff's. Griff gave us both a glass of wine, and took Jenny's bundle and put it in the machine. "Anything else while I'm about it?" he said Jenny stood up and pulled down her jeans. Accidentally-on-purpose pulled her knickers down at the same time. "Oops!" she said, slowly pulling her knickers back up. "Shameless girl," said Griff, fondly. And while the three of us drank wine, and the machine did its business, Jenny sat cross-legged by the fire. Her lace knickers hid hardly anything, and Griff made no effort not to look. Then we went to my place to change. The phone rang. It was Melissa, wishing me the usual. She had fallen out with Griff - again. Her children were with her and being awful, but they were off to spend New Year with their Dad. She was off to see her parents. for an evening of ghastly television, and a midnight 'wee dram'. Her father had worked for Weights & Measures, and when he said 'wee dram,' he always had to explain that a 'dram' was one twentieth of an ounce. Perhaps he thought he was being generous when he measured out about quarter of an inch in the bottom of a sherry glass. I guess we were on the phone for about ten minutes, and I laughed quite a lot, but I don't think either of us said anything you wouldn't say to any good friend and colleague. But Jenny was white with anger. "Why don't you just go and fuck her? And you better keep away from my friends." I felt like saying 'what friends?'. There were of her brother's, ex-lovers of her brother's, ex-lovers of her own, but no school chums, work chums to call her own. Just a lot of borrowed wankers sitting around in circles addling what passed for their brains with the very best Moroccan dope. And frankly, I had been dreading passing New Year in the company - sorry, wrong word - presence, of that lot. I wasn't going to be told whom I could and could not speak to. "I work with Melissa. She introduced us... And I owe her for that," I said, moving towards Jenny to give her a hug. She moved away. She lit a cigarette, picked up her bag, and walked out of the house. I called after her. She didn't even turn. "Sod it," I thought, and phoned Melissa. "Fancy being rescued?" I said. "My knight for the night," she said, sounding a bit drunk. "Why don't you come over?" "Okay. I'll bring some champagne." "Bring some food if you've got any. I've only got eggs." My car was over at Jenny's place so I loaded my bicycle with steak and champagne and some of the things nestling in the fridge that needed eating up. Melissa was wearing other best dress - I'd heard the saga of her buying it - but never seen it before. It was grey and showed off the tan on her arms to wonderful effect, showed the shape of her beautiful breasts. Sparkly earring, an onyx on a chain around her neck. The gorgeous cream expanse of her back shown off. "You look ravishing," I said, taking her in my arms and kissing her. Our first kiss, and it made us a bit shy. We drank a bit, messed about putting food together, briefly turned on the telly to see the New Year in and listen to the bagpipes farting. We talked some more, and lay close side by side on the rug by her living-room fire. I don't know where the time went, but it hardly seemed like minutes before it was dawn. We climbed through the trapdoor onto the roof. I knocked the champagne bottle and let off the cork. It fell with a clang onto the roof of someone's car. Melissa faced the dawn, and I stood behind her, kissed her on the nape of the neck, and put my hands on her hips. She moved away from me. Too much, too soon, I thought. "Let's go back inside," Melissa said, "I'm getting cold." It was difficult for Melissa climbing down in her high-heeled shoes, and I caught her in my arms as she sort of half-slipped. And she fainted. Spark out. I kept her in her arms and carried her to her bed, threw off the quilt with my foot, and laid her down. Her eyes were shut, she was breathing with a quiet regular rhythm. I wasn't sure what to do. I wasn't sure if she was just exhausted, or if there was something more serious. I went back onto the roof to get the bottle and the glasses, then sat by her on the bed, listening to her regular soft breathing, drinking in the scent of her, and adjusting my trousers to ease my erection. She moved a little in her stupor, and I saw a red mark where the straps of her dress seemed to be cutting into her shoulders. I couldn't leave her in her very-best dress, and I rolled her over to unzip it. She flopped like a rag doll as I moved her. I pulled her shoes off, and saw, really for the first time, the loveliness of her legs. Then I eased the dress off the top half of her. Two glorious ripe breasts tumbled out. It would have been a sin to have left them unadmired, and I fondled them and explored them, kissed them and tasted their fragrance. And then I eased the dress over her hips. She was naked, still spark-out of it, and I gently kissed her lips through the bush, and breathed in the amazing musky scent of her. I went to the wardrobe to hang up the dress... For a moment, there was absolute silence, as if the whole world was holding its breath. Melissa hadn't moved. "It's time," she said, and I threw off my clothes, climbed into her bed, clamped her in a kiss, and slid into the well-wetted walls of a welcoming cunt. I was home. At first I just relished being there inside her, and as I began to move, she tightened a bit to perfect the sensation. I was, as someone said, signed on the freehold, and later at my leisure would I explore her coves and curves and tastes and scents. A fine woman ripened like a fruit at its moment of perfection, that hot-cold ice-sorbet warmth as we rocked and delved. "I love you so much," she said as we came like a collision. "Happy, happy New Year," she said as I fell limp inside her, and the fruits of a massive come oozed onto the bed. We finished the champagne, and as she sat up to drink, I cupped the fall of her breasts in my hand, took possession of the long, strong softness of them and the silken resilience of her skin. I got a towel to wipe up the gunk. Melissa curled in my arms, sighed, and we slept. "I had a dream," she said, "of waking up with your arms around me..." My erection was already tapping the cleavage of her buttocks as I put my hand on her bush, and began to delve for the button. "Tea first," she said. "And a pee." So we had tea, and made love again slowly, gently, savouring our luck. And slept again. Woke up again, Melissa sleepy in my arms. Breakfast at three, baths. Melissa in a gown, drying her hair in front of the living room fire. Caught her, kissed her, laid her flat and spread her legs, spread the deep copper bush and tasted the fresh caviar of her cunt. A pretty cunt, the dinkiest little button, and no inner lips, just two Citroen-chevrons above the puckered place of her vagina. Tongue on the button, a moan of pleasure, upwards, hands and lips over her lovely luxuriant breasts, upwards to kiss her until she blushed all round her neck, and I was thrusting inside her in the place I belonged. And this was the best of all, with the tank almost on empty we climbed and rested, and climbed some more, and climbed until we were, I swear it, floating hardly a foot from the ceiling. It was all so clean, so beautiful, so natural, so (for lack of a better word) pure. Much as I had loved Jenny, and for all my gratitude to her for rescuing me from the desert years with Stephanie, there was something unwholesome about her, about her sexuality, about the taste of her. Three days went by, I'm not sure where - walks, food, pubs, and a sea of super fucking that all washed into one, and then it was Sunday. Melissa was expecting her children to come over - I wasn't ready for that yet... Back to work in the morning. Needed the car. It was still over at Jenny's place, so I went on my bike to collect it. I hoped for quick, quiet, get-away. Tell Jenny later... There were no lights on in the house, but her car was there... Gone out with the deadheads, I supposed... I didn't have a spanner to remove the front wheel so I had to wind down the passenger seat to make room... "Hi," said Jenny. I turned around, and before I knew what was happening, she had pulled me into a hug and kissed me. "Givenchy," she said. "You've been with Melissa?" "Yeah," I said, not wishing to lie, nor to rub it in too hard. "It's just great you two have finally made it. You're so right together." I wasn't expecting this. I mean, Jenny was a loyal daughter and Melissa had treated Griff pretty shabbily at times, dumping him when she got bored (which didn't take long) and going back to him when she needed some bills paid. Yet she was glad I was with Melissa, and she seemed genuinely pleased to see me. "Are you going to come in for some tea?" she said. "I was going to cook a chicken. You're not in a hurry to rush off?" "Are you staying the night?" she said, later that evening as I was thinking it was about time I went. "I'd really like you to - if you've got any strength left." She raised her eyebrows and smiled... She was wild when I fucked her - I'd never known her like that... It was her birthday coming up. I asked her what she wanted. "You know what I'd really like," she said, blushing. "A video of you fucking Melissa." "Why?" "It's just such an amazing turn-on." "Why?" "It just is." Weirder, and weirder, I thought. I didn't get to see much of Jenny after that - and the video was Melissa's idea. Coming back late from a job, I had gone straight over to her place with five grand's worth of video kit. Which the insurance wouldn't cover if I left it in the car overnight, so I unloaded it. It's weird - but there's something about a 2-foot long broadcast quality Betamax camera with lights and make-up that brings out the porn star in any woman with some pride in her sexuality. It takes a fair bit of practice on an unmanned camera, but we got pretty good at it, and I have to say, the compilation I made is one of my proudest possessions. I never did get to find out how Jenny got a copy. Perhaps she just asked Melissa. But I get ahead of myself. It was a couple of days before I saw Melissa again, and she flat refused to have sex with me. I wouldn't have put it past Jenny telling Melissa about the Sunday night encounter, but that wasn't the reason. She was 39, and quite a heavy smoker, and since the Pill had always given her a headache, her doctor had advised her not to use a coil. Not being used to it, she had done something wrong inserting it, and she was bleeding. The reason she wasn't used to it was she hadn't needed it with Griff, because he had had a vasectomy... If talking and talking with Melissa was as good as a really good fuck, then heaven itself was talking and talking before and after a really good fuck. Clean, fresh sex, night, morning and afternoon, long talks and long walks, dancing the night away, sex for the camera, body paint on both our bodies... We became an item - it helped we weren't working together any more, but people didn't accept us. She was eleven years older. She smoked, so she looked older than her years. I didn't. People took her for my mother, which was hardly fair. It has become almost a fashion statement now for younger men to be with older women, but back in the late 'eighties, even gays had an easier time of it. You cannot believe how wearing it was, the constant assumption that Melissa was pathetic, and that I was after money, or cheap sex. We even got it from long-standing friends, and the constant lack of acceptance ground us down... There were exceptions - my brother (who had an Indian girlfriend), Melissa's children, and surprisingly, Griff, Jenny and Melissa's ex-husband. There was also the problem that I didn't want to take on a ready-made family, especially one that included a disturbingly beautiful daughter. I thought there must be another woman in the world I can love, and love more conveniently. Then Steph phoned to say, 'you know that proposal, how about it?' I said 'okay'. Stephanie was been convenient, at least in terms of social acceptance. And although someone else had taken over her job, she was still spending quite a lot of time in Scotland on a consultancy basis. I had lost the habit of being faithful to her, and probably, she to me. But we gave it our best, for ten long years. Melissa was shattered when I told her, at first disbelieving, then angry, then grimly accepting. She met some jerk who could keep her in style, but we continued being lovers until the day before her wedding. A painful day, because not only was it the last time, but she told me about her miscarriage. Our child, two inches long, dead in a pool of gunk and blood. Was it the coil that had killed it (which is what coils are for, let's face it) or was it my rejection of her? Sometimes I dream of the little mite that I never saw, and I feel very pointless. * Jenny, visiting her mother in the States, met some Canadian and married him. I saw Griff in town from time to time and heard all their news, like for example, Jenny was living in a cabin on a creek off Lake Ontario, and expecting her second child. Apart from the odd phone call to Melissa, to the sound of scowls and clattering pots from her husband in the background, I didn't have any contact with any of them for three or four years... Then one day, when Stephanie, just for a change, was in Scotland, I got a phone call from Jenny. She was at Gatwick. Very apologetic - her flight had been overbooked so she had travelled a day early, and her father wasn't in, and if I wasn't busy, would I mind collecting her? "Delighted," I said, thinking of the delights I had given up. And then stopped myself thinking - she was now a married woman with two fine bairns to her name. I sort of hoped she hadn't brought them with her, or her husband for that matter. But there, in the Arrivals Hall, was Jenny, alone, and sporting a very impressive bust. I put my arms out to hug her. She fell into my arms and my kisses. "Roger, it's so good to see you," she said, and nuzzled her hips to my erection. "God, this is good," she said as I slid my hand under her coat and felt the strong round firmness of her now-exquisite breasts. "They real?" I said, fondling more strongly. "Full of milk. Careful! You've gone and made me leak." And there, on the front of her blouse was a spreading dark wet patch, and I could smell the milk. "I'll have a swig later," I said - and while a woman may (with discretion) breastfeed her baby almost anywhere, there are bound to be laws about breastfeeding grown men in the Gatwick Arrivals Hall. "No you won't, it'll taste like shit." "Try me." "I've been eating airline shit and smoking. You'll have to wait..." she said with her most seductive smile. "I want you to enjoy it." Once we were on the motorway, she took her seat belt off and lay in my lap. I fondled her face, put my hand under her blouse and felt the milk leak into the cloth. Her hand crept onto my trousers. "Someone's pleased to see me," she said. The key to her father's place was in its usual place under the shed. Jenny let us in, and kissed me, holding her damp, leaking breasts against me. She leaked some more as I kneaded her. A smell of milk and Jenny-sweat overwhelmed me. "I've got to go and get these things off," she said, and though the heating had come on, she asked me to lay a fire. I heard the washing machine, and the shower motor... I went into the kitchen and made a pot of tea, put out two cups and went to the fridge... No milk... With the motor of the power shower running, I didn't hear Griff come in. "What are you doing here?" he asked, more puzzled than angry. "Just collected Jenny from Gatwick. Something about the booking - she couldn't get hold of you." "That's strange, because I've been in all day. Just nipped out to get and some milk." Which was a shame: I was hoping for Jenny milk in my tea... Griff and I talked of this and that, and eventually Jenny came in, in her dressing gown. She put her arms around her father and kissed him, though he pulled away a bit in embarrassment when she kissed him full on the lips... And all the while the tie on her gown was slipping. It had come almost undone by the time we'd gone into the living room with the tea tray, and Jenny had sat crossed-legged on the sofa. Letting Griff see the glory of her boobs. He didn't seem fazed. "Had a boob job?" he asked, in a matter of fact sort of way. "No, just full of milk." "Pretty damned impressive." I thought there can't be many fathers who discuss their daughters' boobs with them in such a matter of fact way. I wasn't sure what to make of it... Since I was expecting a phone call from Stephanie, I made an excuse and left. Jenny kissed me goodbye at the door, and promised to eat organic food, no spices, etc, etc, and make me the best gooseberry fool I'd ever have in my life. * Weird thing when I got home. A long message on the answering machine. I heard my voice and Jenny's. Her mobile must have redialled my number - I thanked my lucky stars that Steph wasn't due back for another week. But I was expecting to hear from her, so I listened... and I heard Jenny and Griff talking. I heard Jenny say that her husband, Anthony, was gay. 'Thanks, Jenny' I thought, remembering something about HIV being passed on in breast milk. I was so angry I phoned with an excuse, cancelling our dinner date. I said Stephanie was coming back early. Later I heard the rest of the tape. Griff said: "Christ sake, Jenny! Is he clean?" He sounded cross, confused. I didn't hear Jenny's reply very clearly, but it was something about Anthony being careful, and he'd been tested and all that, and his parents wanted an heir and a spare, and she'd come home if they'd settle for a million... Griff grunted something. I heard footsteps on the stairs, and the tape ran out. All week I kept wondering about that gooseberry fool, and on Friday I changed my mind. "Thought you would," said Jenny. "Make sure you heat it when you collect it because it goes off very quickly," I said. "Do you think I don't know that?" she replied, irritably. Okay, it did sound condescending, but heat should cut out the risk of HIV... You want to know what it tasted like? Perfectly ordinary gooseberry fool, with a hint of Jenny-sweat, if you must know. * It was years before I saw Jenny again. Writing letters wasn't her thing, and I had other things on my mind, like my marriage unravelling, and my job coming apart. The company was losing its edge, and the boss responded by charging too much and not having enough staff or new equipment to do the work to the standard required. As the company sank, the pressures got worse, and I made a couple of serious cock-ups, but by that time I'd stopped caring... I had set up a jewellery workshop in my cellar, but however hard I tried, I never seemed to get the finish right. I never managed to make my conceptions come to life. Then I saw Griff in town one day, and got talking. Said what I was up to. Explained the problems I was having. He had always had the opposite problem. Give him a design, and he was up there with the best of them, but that's all he could do, copy or work to a design - which depressed him, and annoyed him because it had taken him twenty years to accept the fact. There was a whole new market opening up in body piercing, and frankly, very little available to suit the more discerning customer. He had sold several dozen copies of my 'ear stud' before he realised what they were being used for, and he wanted more designs. I went on a body piercing course - that deserves a tale all to itself - and held Saturday 'surgeries' in the upstairs room in the shop. Mostly I just did noses and ears and blokes' nipples - I left the most of the intimate stuff (including the Prince Alberts) to a woman from London who came by appointment. Then we bought a laser machine for hair removal, and the business really began to take off, just in time for the day job to make me redundant, which paid off the loan on the laser machine... * The trouble with living near an airport is all your friends and family seem to think you are some sort of taxi and hotel service. First there was Jenny. She was coming over for her father's wedding, and could she stay for a couple of days? Well, it was actually nearer a couple of weeks, slobbing around the house with her now seriously unpleasant tits flopping around her midriff. She wouldn't let me hump her because she said she was trying for another child, which was just as well because I didn't want to anyway. Though she didn't say anything about a new bloke in her life, and Griff had told me she had separated from Anthony, and got her half million. She said a really weird thing - that she'd met my 'old friend Pam'. You might not think it's weird, but I don't know anyone called Pam. "I can't believe you didn't roger her," said Jenny. "She's gorgeous." Then I remembered Pam was the name I'd used when I told her about Megan, my best of best friends. How did she know that Pam was Megan? Weird. "Because," I said, "I didn't see we had a future together... and there was Stephanie." "You know she's crazy about you." * Then my grandmother died... It was getting on for twenty years now since I'd spoken to Megan - we had exchanged a couple of Christmas cards, so I knew there were no bad vibes, but I was too mixed up to speak to her on the phone or anything. Megan was coming back from Canada for the funeral. I heard from my parents that she was coming alone because her husband couldn't get the time off work, and the kids were in school. I was looking forward to seeing her, but I was surprised how nervous and excited I was. Sort of butterflies in the pit of my stomach. I was worried too - she could be a total bitch when she wanted to be - sometimes when she felt rejected, sometimes just for the hell of it. And last time I'd seen her, I had been protected emotionally because I had been intending to make my future with Stephanie. Now there was nobody... Did I know I was falling in love, or was I just thinking of Jenny's words: 'she's crazy about you.'? There's no doubt that such words get the old juices flowing. I happened to be checking my old Hotmail account (the one on my last Christmas card to Megan) when I found a message from her. 'Coming on the 20th to Gatwick. Can't face too much family. Don't want Arnold to know where I'm staying, so don't tell a soul, but can I stay with you for the duration? All my love, Megan.' 'Would be delighted,' I replied. 'Plenty of space. Absolute confidence assured. Tell me the flight details and I'll collect you.' Last time I had seen her, Megan had been no more than 23. She hadn't really changed from the kid I had known - lovely clear deep blue eyes in a roundish face, an English rose complexion, chubby cheeks, short, fine, light-brown curly hair, no dress-sense at all and no idea what to do with make-up. Pam's idea of dressing to look sexy had been to wear a naff old T-shirt which showed off the bounce and the shape of her exquisite little breasts. * The 20th came. I went to Gatwick, but late, seriously late. I'd taken too long shopping for food and clearing the house up, and then I had got snarled up in traffic. There was nobody left from Megan's flight. I couldn't see her in the Arrivals Hall. There was a woman in dark glasses, with a long, angular, folk singer's face, with long straight, almost metallic white hair, tied back in a pony-tail. She looked incredibly elegant in the sort of embroidered Indian dress that you don't often see these days. Twenty five years earlier, I had bought something very similar for my best of best friends, the day I took her to a party. I couldn't help looking at the woman lustful-like, but I wasn't there for lusting, but for Megan. I went to the enquiries desk to ask if they could put an announcement out, but I had to wait in a queue. "Roger?" a voice behind me said. I turned around. The folk singer woman stood there, and took off her glasses. I saw her deep blue eyes. It was Megan. She dashed forward and put her arms around me. I bent to kiss her on the cheek, and she took my head in her hands and kissed me on the lips. It was a glorious kiss, like the brush of a butterfly's wing that lingered and grew firmer. "Sorry," she said, blushing and pulling away, "Couldn't resist it..." Strange as it might seem, and seeing how fond of each other we had always been, this was our first proper, passionate kiss... I found myself aroused, and I saw that Megan had seen I was aroused. With 18 years to catch up on, there was so much I wanted to say. Once we had the car loaded up, I started burbling. "Roger," she said wearily, "you talk too much." I was now feeling thoroughly confused. As I drove, I rested my hand next to the gear stick, and she stroked it gently. But apart from that, she was quiet, distant, even when we got to my house. There was a meal waiting in the oven, a bottle of wine opened. Still distant, she ate some of the pie, but refused the wine. I showed her the bathroom and the spare room, and with nothing more than a good-night peck on the cheek, she went straight to bed. Not wanting to disturb her, I went to bed early myself, but it was a long time before I could get to sleep. But when I did eventually nod off, I must have really gone for it, because I didn't hear her get up and make tea. The first I knew, she was sitting on my bed, wearing my old dressing gown and gently touching my face. "What a beautiful way to wake up," I said. "Isn't it?... Something I need to ask you... about your old friend Pam?" "My best of best friends," I said, wondering at the coincidence that Megan and Jenny had become friends. "What would you do if she asked you again?" "She's asking?" "She is." I took my hand and pushing under the dressing gown, fondled her naked breast. It was beautiful beyond imagining. Soft, perfect, resilient... I had fondled her many times before through her clothes, and once, I had pulled back her bedclothes and kissed her bare nipple... I wondered how things would have panned out, if all those years before, I had had the courage to take possession of her body... I put my other arm out to pull her down into a kiss. "Not yet," she said. "The tea will go cold..." But before we could have more than a few sips, she had thrown off the dressing gown, and climbed into bed beside me. Legs parted, my hand touching, exploring her exquisite, muscular cunt, finger on the bead of the G-spot. I looked at her face, at her wild, excited eyes. "I think I've gone to heaven," she said, and grasping my penis, she pulled me into a kiss. She moved down to kiss him, blew on him a bit. "All mine," she said. "Mine, and I want it!" she cried, rolling onto her back. But first I had to kiss her, bury my face in the wettest, most delicious cunt I have ever tasted. "All mine," I said, as I sprang up so we were face to face again. "Always yours." I was in her now. Straight in, with the perfect aim that it usually takes a month of fucking to achieve. Sliding down the little ribs and the softness of her. Taking in the hot, iceberg-cool wonderfulness of being inside her. Thrusting, howling, resting, thrusting, resting to not lose the magic of it by coming too early. And then we came. "I love you," I said. "I love you, I want you," she whispered. "I've wanted you ever since... ever." We lay there for a while, quietly exploring each other's bodies. Her skin was as lovely as it had been when, when she was thirteen, I had fondly, not sexually, fondled her arm. Her breasts were as delicious to the touch as those fourteen-year old's breasts when... I had sprained my ankle, she had given me a piggyback ride, I had held onto her shoulders - 'lower' she had said, 'lower still' until I was fondling her and my erection was thrusting her ass... I parted her bush... and her cunt was as pert and delectable as when, fifteen years old, she had flashed her fanny at me when we were changing to go to the beach... I looked at those deep, deep blue eyes, those same eyes that had shone and challenged me to look, look and look at the pretty little rose bud between her strong, muscular lips. No, she was not as lovely as the kid I had grown up with, but lovelier - she had matured in her beauty. "Do you remember that time I burst in on you?" For some reason, I had been sleeping in a caravan in the garden, and Megan had burst in on me when I was wanking. "God, I was embarrassed." "And I had never seen anything so beautiful..." A throb of life came to my now flaccid penis as she touched him fondly. "Still haven't... Why did you always push me away?" "Smell." "You're saying I've got BO?" "You have this lovely fresh milk and soap and baby smell. It was like a switch and it put me back in childhood... Fifteen years ago, I met this absolutely lovely girl, and she had the same smell, and I turned my back on her... When, I had just turned forty, and I met a South African girl... Gorgeous." "I've seen the video - I don't want to hear the gory details..." "Let me finish, please... I couldn't do anything with her because I wanted you, and she wasn't you." "Say that again," Megan said, and I said I wanted her, had always wanted her, but had tried to deny it. She looked so happy and so calm, I could have grown wings and flown. "What video?" I had to ask. "That woman. The one that Jenny says you should have married..." "Melissa..." I wondered how the hell Jenny had got hold of that tape. "Why didn't you...?" "Marry her? I guess I hoped something more convenient might come along." "And you end up with me... Serve you right... At least I hope you end up with me..." She looked so vulnerable for a moment, that I had to kiss her... Oh, the bliss of a kiss of the woman you love! But women are practical creatures, and Megan's thoughts turned to practicalities. "What are we going to do?" she said, sitting up and taking a swig from the now stone-cold tea. "Whatever you like. I've taken the day off." "I mean, about the rest of our lives..." "I dunno. We'll work something out... Somehow... But it's easy for me. I'm not married any more. I don't have children." Megan nodded. "Thing is, I want your child, while there's still time - yes, I know it's risky..." I was scared, unbelieving, excited. "We've got to go for it, haven't we?" She looked at me, her eyes wide with passion and contentment, a hundred rejections forgiven and forgotten. Forgiven too, were the times I had begun to seduce her and explore her, and stopped. And though she had known it was my duty to stop, there had always been a part of her that felt I had tasted her, and rejected her... "Come on," she said, "let's get up. I want to see this business you've set up." * So I took her to my rooms above Griff's shop. She giggled when I told her about the cunt jewels: "Will you make some for me?" "Of course. Need to decide what sort... work out a design, do the piercings - which will hurt - and you won't be able to have sex for a couple of weeks." "Do it just before I go, then." "Tell you what I'd like to do now," I said... "Mmmm..." "Is to use the laser to get rid of some of that the hair." "Okay," she shrugged. And she looked at me with those meltingly beautiful, deep blue eyes, and smiled... "Try anything once." "Except morris dancing," I added, as she started to peel off her jeans. <1st attachment end> ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ Notice: This post has been modified from its original format.
