This time she had not closed the door to the room she had disappeared into. There was enough light now for me make it down the hallway without stumbling into something. Holly suddenly stepped back into the hall, once again standing in front me naked asking, "Wanna take a bath?" Without waiting for my answer, the smoking lantern led us together into the room sounding of running water.
Peeking in the bathroom door as unintrusively as I had her bedroom door, I found the sole treasure of the house. Coupled with a large and of course old, square pedestal sink with a wide rim standing to my right, a toilet to its left, I whistled at the sight of the large claw-footed tub spread end-to-end across the far wall. I'd never seen its like before.
"Come on! Get those dirty shorts off and get in here with me," she beckoned as she toe tested the water before stepping in, sitting down and sliding beneath the water, re- emerging a second later, pasting her hair back off her face with both hands, sputtering off the water that ran down her face.
The tub had its faucets and drain handles stationed above it and centered on the back wall, allowing two people to slide in comfortably opposite of one another. Stepping in behind her and slowly sliding down and leaning back myself, the water level still had a good three inches before cresting.
Holly had rested the smoking chimney lamp atop a dual pedestal flower stand at her end of the tub. Of course it was no longer needed with the power restored yet its yellowish light maneuvered everything into a mystical world. A small multiband transistor radio sat beneath it. At my end of the tub was a small brass tubed affair with two towels, two face cloths and one soap dish. It almost looked homemade.
"This is my sanctuary," Holly's voice reverberated in the otherwise empty room.
White-washed bead board lined the room with a small blue fuzzy rug in front of the toilet and a five by three rag braided rug in front of the tub.
"This is where I sit and sing or just enjoy the quiet of the countryside."
The outer wall faced south. In the center of it between tub and toilet was a four by eight, double hung wooden window that had been spared the pounding its brothers had fallen victim of in the room just next door. It was thankfully screened, half open at the bottom, half open at the top.
"You're the first, Buster!"
"The first what?"
"The first man I let in here. The first man I let upstairs. Does that surprise you?"
I had to be honest with her, "Ya, a little."
"My reputation always precedes me," she sighed. "Oh well, I guess it's just my lot in life. But it's true. I've never brought anyone home after stay'n out all night. 'Bout the only time anyone has been here at the house is when my parents died and my sister came to sit a spell after the funeral. Her husband was all itchy. They didn't stay long. She didn't say much of anything but then she didn't have to. Her eyes said it for her, looking all about the house with a sad look on her face as if she couldn't fathom how her big sister had failed so miserably in life, feeling sorry for me and all. We're sort of opposite books ends that way. I was the run around tramp while she floated above everything and out of sight. She paid her way through junior college where she met Ty, a middle line backer who got wooed by SU, making first string his second year there. I think he said he was a red something or other senior."
"A red shirt senior?" I questioned.
"Ya, I think that's it. Then he got drafted one hundred fifty-third by one of the teams out in California; played four years before getting hurt. But by then he had made his money. Sis and Ty aren't hurt'n. She showed me the pictures of their place in San Diego. Never been there. Not my cup of tea to be around all that money. It all just sort of makes me feel small and insignificant. Ty got a job at one of the large housing developers out there. Makes more money now than he did playing football. Anyway, it was all too easy to tell they didn't much like my house. I haven't made up my mind whether you do or not."
I shrugged my shoulders, trying to keep my rising periscope from popping to the surface while taking extreme enjoyment out of watching the wave action caused by Holly's buoyant breasts rising and falling with each breath stop. "Well, if you want my honest assessment it could do with a little work. But it's definitely something I could get use to. That is, I mean living in a place way out here and all. But admittedly, not having a handy convenient store nearby might take a little getting use to."
"Stop that!"
"Stop what?"
"You know."
Laughing in feign innocence, "No I don't!"
"I can see you waving those arms under water, making my boobs float up and down."
"Who me?"
Holly's big right toe slid to nudge my now fully erect manhood. Reflex popped the periscope above water level briefly before submerging again. Holly sat up, leaned forward while sliding her hands and elbows along the outer edges of the tubs slippery white baked enamel finish, kissing me lightly as I closed my eyes and once again drank in the fantasy.
Raising herself up she promised me, "You never have to just look and hope with me, Buster. If you ever walk in that back door again after tonight, and you see me washing dishing at the sink dressed in that old sundress, you just lift it up and spread my legs! You don't ever have to worry about me making a fuss or throwing dishes at you." With that said, Holly leaned forward and offered her creamy white wet breasts for me to feed on.
I was beginning to wonder if we would ever have sex out of the water. Sitting back a bit, Holly nimbly impaled herself on my manly weapon, kissing me as she took all of it after a few up's and down's. Offering her breasts for my mouth to feed on, she rose just enough for me to feel myself about to slip out before she impaled herself again over and over till my face told her I was about to come.
"Whoa there big boy!" she smiled as she sat up while remaining firmly seated on bent knees and slowly undulating hips. Reaching back across me to grab a bar of soap and one of those faded pink face cloths, she spoke quietly to me. "Holly's going to get you all cleaned up and then she's going to take you in the other room and give you the ride of your life. Think you can handle that cowboy?"
From my experience I had never met two more different people than Martha and Holly. Martha was flat chested, frigid -well at least where I was concerned, a wench who's eyes and mouth never closed. She had a lipless cunt with only a sheen of hair. Holly on the other hand, actually had lovely and readily accessible 34 double D's. She closed her eyes when she kissed. Her cunt was long lipped and her pub's were long, thick and wide. Obviously she hadn't been to the public pool that summer or I would have read about it in the town paper after hearing everyone else's 'I was there' account of it at the local watering hole after work. Holly just had a way about her, moving her body in feminine ways, that attracted men's eyes and women's scorn. Truly, she was a polarizing force. Either you loved her or you hated her. I definitely was not nor ever had been the latter.
First the arms, then the under arms, she soaped and scrubbed me while remaining impaled on my war baton. Then she proceeded to have me sit up as she wrapped her arms around me, resting her head on my shoulder, lazily wiping off all traces of grime and grit from my back. She sort of went all soft on me there. In a dreamy, far off voice that barely reverberated in that still-of-the-night room, she murmured on about having given up; about having lost all hope of finding someone who would just accept her for the way she was, hoping beyond hope that I wasn't playing her just for a couple of fucks. The strong self-sufficient woman began to let me see a little of that sad, lonely girl hiding all her life on the inside.
I had never sat in a tub of water with a naked woman before, especially with one who had lathered my chest before letting me lather hers in transfixed fascination, pressing her soft breasts against me as she held on to me as if I were a dream about to shake her awake. The experience was incomparable to any I'd ever had before. With each breath, hers and mine, sometimes together, sometimes purposefully different, I lost myself in the sensation of those slithering mounds of flesh washing across my hairy shore.
