This is one of a series of stories relating the exploits of John Moxton.
All persons and events described here are based on real-life but with the names and locations altered to prevent too much embarrassment to the guilty. All persons were aged 18 or greater at the time of these events.
John Moxton was brought up in an affluent middle-class home in a relatively small but prosperous village in the heart of the Cotswolds. The house had been in his mother Margaret's family since her great-grandfather (with several greats) purchased the property in the mid-nineteenth century. He had been a doctor who moved to the, then, hundred and fifty-acre site from the port city of Bristol. Death duties, various debts, and a series of unspecified payments had reduced the property down to a little under twenty acres of formal and vegetable garden with some mixed woodland.
Margaret's family was well established in the village with several cousins dotted around the area. Some were more accepted as being true cousins than others.
John's parents, Margaret and Andrew, were senior university lecturers and anticipated that both of the children would go into further education and then into a profession of some kind. They had recently remarried following amical divorces from their previous spouses. There were two children in the new family group, John and Sylvine. Margaret was John's birth mother and Andrew was Sylvine's biological father.
The two original couples had known each other from university. They had remained close friends for many years prior to the children arriving on the scene and had regularly holidayed together. There had been occasional drunken swinging sessions that became more frequent and intense over time. Eventually the pairings became more permanent and mutually agreed divorces took place. The swinging sessions continued fairly regularly after the remarriages between the original couples. All very confusing.
The two children got on together very well indeed and had done since their birth. They had played together as toddlers and could often be found together. The new family had been living together as a fully integrated unit for five years.
John was a well-built young man with dark brown hair. His appearance was athletic, and he did in fact play rugby and tennis regularly. He was also fond of long distance running and competed in half marathons.
Sylvine was a little more than a month younger than John but looked considerably older than her years. She was more science oriented than John with a bent towards physics whereas John tended more to philosophy.
Sylvine was a natural brunette, which she usually wore short. She had an almost pixie like face, slightly upturned nose, and deep brown eyes. Her small mouth gave an expression that appeared to show some distain, but this was just unfortunate as her demeanour was anything but that. Her body was slim with a slight waist and elegant hips. Her breasts were still forming but were now full and firm enough to be cupped by an average sized hand. Her skin was soft and very pale though not quite alabaster. It did not respond to any attempt at tanning. Her legs were long, well-formed without too much muscle development. They looked remarkably interesting indeed when she wore a pair of tight shorts or skirt and heels.
Sylvine could not be described as a beauty but was more than attractive enough to have caught the attention of several boys in her year group and the members of the Young Farmers. She had been groped on several occasions at various social events. This was not something to which she normally objected. She was a sensual person who appreciated her body and how it looked. Paul, the brother of one of her friends, Mary, regularly grabbed hold of her when she visited. She usually let him have a good feel for a minute or so before eventually wagging her finger and batting him away. Nothing much else happened at that time but she certainly appreciated his enthusiasm and put him in a pigeonhole, marked as a possible stocking filler for later.
The family had moved into Margaret's house following the remarriage. The property had four bedrooms, each with En Suite bathroom, a plethora of rooms on the ground floor and an extensive attic. The building was set in a very rural environment. It was located on the very outskirts of the village along a narrow lane that ended in field access just beyond the property. The nearest neighbour was several hundred metres down the lane towards the village proper, although the village was directly accessible by footpaths passing by the property. Various outbuildings had been converted to a workshop and studio by Margaret's father. A large self-contained summer house nestled discreetly in the woodland close to the boundary beech hedge overlooking fields. A tennis court and small pavilion with changing room completed the establishment.
The Den
The summer house had been set aside by their parents as the den and as a result they rarely visited. They had checked in on their offspring at the start, but the visits dropped off to virtually nothing once it became apparent that the children were coping well. An intercom extension along with broadband link ensured contact with the main house in case of emergency.
