"Did I tell you I was getting married?"
"Excuse me?" I answered in a shocked voice. I felt the shocked tone was justified, because Luke told me this as I had my feet pointed at the raftered ceiling of the summer house at Rose Landing on the James River and was at the edge of ejaculation with his cock somewhere close to my intestines.
A real jack-off killer that was.
"Yes, oufff," Luke repeated. He was pumping me hard now, but it was going to be a no go as far as I was concerned after that little bombshell he dropped. "Yep, Claire and I are tying the knot on August 22nd."
Bombshell number two. I gave up on the fuck and pushed him off me. He rolled to my side on the chaise lounge, but he didn't leave me. He still held me in his embrace. I looked over at him and frowned. He had a sly little grin on his face. Oh how that silly little grin of his irritated me.
"You're joking, of course," I said.
"I'm not, of course," he replied. He sighed. "Claire makes me come."
"I make you come," I declared, not all that quietly.
"Claire makes me come in the normal way," he answered. He was having fun with this, I could tell.
"Come is come," I retorted. "None of it is normal. In fact, it's all pretty silly if you really think about it—God's little joke on mankind. Take a look at the act sometimes."
"There are no mirrors out here in the summerhouse, and you won't let me make love to you in the house. Besides that, you're changing the subject."
"Am not," I answered.
"Are too," he retorted. Still that silly grin.
"What has Claire got that I haven't got?" I cried out, even sicker of that grin. "Besides a real cunt, of course. Speaking of which, do you have any sort of idea of how much of a cunt Claire can be when she's on her high horse?"
"That's what she called me the other day," Luke said, and then he gave me a little laugh. "Her high horse. Horse hung. You know."
"Yesssss, yes, I know what you meant," I hissed between my teeth. Not much I could say about that, though. Luke indeed was horse hung. But he was my horse, dammit.
I tried silence. His hand was gliding over my body, though, pinching this protrusion, exploring that crevice. I felt like coming again.
"Claire's rich," he said, picking up the thread even if I was going to pretend it didn't exist.
So much for feeling the seed rising again.
"I'm rich," I whispered.
"Claire's got a great house on the James."
"This is a great house on the James," I said. "And I own it lock, stock, and barrel—have done so for three hundred years."
"Ah, but Claire's house is named Jameston Hall. And Claire is a Jameston."
"I am a Jameston," I yelled out in frustration. This teasing was getting tiresome, and I was running out of snappy rejoinders. I wanted to be fucked to satisfaction. I was sorry I had ever introduced Luke to my niece, Claire. If I hadn't thought that cocking me was enough for him to have no interest in that little maneater, I never would have let them meet.
"You have Philip Williams," he said, once more in a whisper, a pointed whisper, tossed out with some venom.
