As Kathleen had promised we had all Tuesday afternoon to ourselves and as she had jokingly warned me I didn't manage to satisfy her both the times we made love. She was too exciting for me and I couldn't avoid reaching a climax too quickly. But she was both magnanimous and patient;
"Don't worry darling, these are early days in your career."
And saying that, she laughingly declared herself both replete, sore and "well and truly fucked" as we showered and tidied her bedroom before my mother came home.
Despite her patience and my devotion there was a certain state of tension around Kathleen and I after our lovemaking. I was emotional and unsure and I had trouble getting used to the thought of having to keep secret my feelings for her.
But Kathleen was made of sterner stuff and gave me a serious lecture on the importance of not only concealing the intimacy that existed between us but the also the seriousness of the consequences of my making a mistake that might reveal our affair. She was worried my feelings for her would be obvious for my parents and begged me to be careful.
Life, she said, would have to go on as before; I would continue my gardening work and she would take her exercise and maintain her place in the social life of the village.
"I am just as horny as you and I want more of our good lovemaking, but It's "Hands off" from now on. I will let you know in no uncertain manner where and when we have a chance to get together but until then, no touching."
I reached for her when she said that but she pushed me away.
"That is just what I mean should not happen. I am afraid you'll forget yourself when you parents are around. I have to be strict, for both our sakes you see. Now get out of the house before your mother gets back."
I turned away in dismay and headed for the door but she called me back.
"Stop,silly. Take it as a complement."
She reached up and stroked my face tenderly,
"Don't be hurt my sweet. Take it as a compliment that in reality I can barely keep my hands off you."
Again I moved to embrace her but she placed the heels of her hands against my chest and held me at arm's length.
"Consider this" she said seriously.
"What we are doing is incest. I am 43 and you are 18. If we were found out I would be to blame and society would condemn me. The family would be split and our lives ruined. I may even lose my job. Please Peter, leave it up to me and I will find a way for us to be together again."
And with that she turned me around and following after, pushed me towards the door.
"Go on with you, get some work done and don't come back until your Mum has been home for a while; And one more thing."
She paused and suddenly seemed resigned and tired.
"I won't share you with any of your fans."
"My fans?"
"Oh don't come the innocent with me young man; you know that half the ladies you work for think you're good enough to eat."
I didn't know that; it had never crossed my mind. The thought of Mrs Potter at the old vicarage or any of my other clients wanting to have sex with me was completely alien and I said so. Kathleen seemed to recognise the sincerity in my denial and could only answer sadly;
"Well I meet them often and little things slip out from time to time. One day your eyes will be opened."
She grinned and added mischievously,
"But they will have to wait; they can't have you, at least not until I'm done through with you, now GO!"
The heavy summer heat continued for another week. It got hotter day by day until eventually the tension in the air increased to breaking point and after two stiflingly humid days the weather broke in a night of torrid thunder and lightning. I lay naked in my bed and slept fitfully between bad dreams and rolling thunder until I half woke with the feeling I was suffocating. I was dreaming wasn't I? Dreaming I couldn't breathe, dreaming I was paralysed and dreaming I was drowning in my own sweat. Panicking, I struggled to rise from the bed but I had no strength. I was pinned to the soaked sheets; but was I sure it was a dream?
Then I heard Kathleen's urgent whisper in my ear.
"Don't move, don't make a sound."
She lay over my chest, pinning me to the bed.
"Don't talk, get out of bed and lay on the floor."
And she eased away from me. I felt her pulling my arm and she whispered urgently,
"Move quietly and only when it thunders."
I slid gradually out of bed and lay carefully on the floor; I could see her in the light of the lightning flashes and I reached for her but she pushed my hands away and reached for my cock. I was already quite erect but her smooth warm hands tugging at me soon gave me a raging erection. She gathered the hem of her nightdress and lifted it over her pregnant belly.
"Hold him up straight" she said and threw her leg over my thighs.
She wasted no time in foreplay, her anticipation had prepared her for this and she simply reached round and parted the lips of her fanny and I felt myself sliding into her. But there was no wild rise and fall from her, no grinding against me or yelps of pleasure. She sat lightly over me and I could feel her fingers moving around my shaft as she fingered her clitoris. All she permitted herself was a slight up and down jiggle that gathered pace until she eventually covered her mouth with one hand and sinking down heavily over me, came silently.
The whole thing happened so quickly that I didn't come close to orgasm and after just a few moments during which she sat silently erect on my straining erection, she was suddenly done. She covered my mouth with her hand again and leant forward so her lips were against my ear,
"Sorry my darling, I just had to have your help," and with that she was gone.
