Chapter 25: “Always keep them wanting for more!”


A harem girl from the Turkish Salon




On the first evening of his attendance at fellow dinosaur expedition member Lord Hoxton's debauched birthday party, Edmund Molloy and the other male guests were blindfolded and caressed by the women attending.  Despite his sweetheart and his former lover Edith being in attendance, he had no idea who was touching him intimately.  The ladies have withdrawn and the gentlemen have been told they can remove their blindfolds.


Still slightly fearful of a blow, I tentatively undid my blindfold, struggling with the knot and in the end just pulling it off without untying it.  I looked around the room and discovered all the other men were now free of their blindfolds.  The next thing I did was tie my dressing gown across my body, as did Britten and the general.  Smarme, Crozier and Hoxton left themselves on display.  Hoxton and Crozier were flaccid but Smarme was still at full tumescence.  He, like me, obviously, had not spent, as some of the others had.  He seemed to possess no sense of shame about his state.

“Well,” said Hoxton.  “The ladies certainly provided an entertainment there!  I don’t know who was attending to me but I certainly spent in her mouth!”  I shuddered at the thought that I had, perhaps, swallowed his spunk but said nothing.

“I gave forth too!” said Britten.  “A lady with great skill, I have to say!  Splendid!  What fun this weekend is turning out to be.”

“Glad you could come, Britten!” said Hoxton.  “Come!  What?  Funny, eh?”

“Very droll, James,” said Sir Gerald.  “Now I could do with another glass of Champagne.I think!”

“Capital notion!  I’ll ring for Sutton.”  He walked over to the doow and pulled a deep red rope with a silver filigree and turquoise decorated pull.  “Who got whipped?” asked Hoxton.  “You, I think, Gerald!”

“I got a very sharp crack, across my back!” said Sir Gerald. “For speaking aloud I suppose!  But what’s a chap to do when he feels two fingers going up his jacksie?”

“It sounded like you got beaten twice, Molloy,” said the general, grinning.

“Yes, I tried to get my mouth on to one of the women’s bodies in case I could identify her by kissing her bosom!” I said.  I didn’t mention that the second blow had been for when I spat out the spunk and fortunately the general did not pursue it.

“Did anyone think that they had identified who was attending to them!” I asked.  I looked at the general and hoped he wouldn’t identify Daisy.

“Well,” said Hoxton, “I am very familiar with Daphne, Caroline, Sarah and Emily’s gamahuching technique and I am pretty certain it wasn’t any of them!  Which only leaves Edith, Daisy and Elizabeth!  Our lovely newcomers!”

“Oh dear!” I said.  “I had a lady sat upon my face and I am quite sure it wasn’t Edith or Daisy either.”

“Sounds like Daisy was off doing James,” laughed the general.  I scowled.

“It could have been Edith or Elizabeth!” I said. “Although I suspect Elizabeth would not have joined in with her father here!”

“Hah!  You don’t know Eleizabeth!” lauhed Sir Jonty. “Well hopefully, when they return they will tell us!”  I really hoped they wouldn’t.  The door opened and we all looked around in unison but it was Sutton holding a chamberpot.

“The ladies have suggested that some of you gentlemen may need to relieve yourselves!” she said.  Crozier, Hoxton and Smarme were still displaying themselves openly, although Smarme had subsided, thankfully. 

“Well done Sutton!” said Hoxton, standing up.  Sutton knelt before him and Hoxton began to micturate into the pot.  Britten to my surprise, followed suit.  He seemed to be keen to embrace the debauchery as keenly as Daisy had earlier.

“What about you Mr Molloy?” asked Sutton.  She approached me holding the pot.  I looked down at it and its pale yellow contents, swilling around above the Hoxton family crest on the bottom.

“Er, no thank you Sutton!  I am quite alright!” I said, blushing furiously.  She smiled at me but as she turned away I saw the gold chain bracelet on her left wrist. Could that be what I had felt? Surely she hadn’t been in the room joining in with the other women?  If she had she would have seen me on full display.

“Get us a couple of magnums of the Pol Roger, too, please Sutton!” said Hoxton.

“Of course, my lord.  The ladies will be returning shortly.  They are changing!” she said, heading to the door with the pot.  I opened it for her.

“Thank you!” she whispered and brushed against me as she left.  I started to look at some of the framed photographs on the wall.  Most were of women dressed, if you could call it that, in the Turkish oriental fashion, lounging around in somewhat exotic settings.  I was taken with a photograph of one lady gazing challengingly at the camera.  Was she one of Hoxton's harem from Constantinople or just a Parisian whore earning some extra money.

“What on earth are the women changing into?” said Sir Jonty.  “Can’t believe how often women feel they have to change clothes in a day.  Damn ridiculous!”

“I thought their stockings and chemises were perfectly adequate,” said Britten.

“Maybe even a tad overdressed!” added Sir Gerald.

“I thought that some of them were removing their clothes and dropping them on the floor!” I ventured.

“Didn’t hear that!” said Britten.  “Think my heart was beating too fast to hear!” Sir Gerald laughed.

“Pumping blood into your cock no doubt!” he added.

"Did we all spend?” asked Britten.

“I didn’t!” said Sir Jonty.  “Not quite.  At my age I need more than a few fluttering contacts, enjoyable though they were!”

“I felt rather the same!” said the general.  “Still a very exciting experience, though!”

“Yes, I found it exciting but ultimately frustrating,” I said.  “At one point I am sure I had had three ladies touching me.”

“Three, eh?” said Sir Gerald.  “Don’t think I felt that many!” 

“You were well favoured indeed!” said the general, smiling at me.  I wished he wouldn’t.  In fact, I wished he wasn’t there at all.

“Wait until you see his todger in its rampant state,” said Hoxton.“Then you will see how well favoured he is!” added Hoxton. A comment that engendered a frown from the general, to my secret delight. We all shared our experiences but none of us could guess with any certainty as to who had been fondling us.  Sutton returned and served Champagne. 

“Where are the damn women?” said Hoxton.

“You are starting to sound like Professor Challenor,” I ventured.  Hoxton grinned.

“The ladies have changed and are attending to other matters.  Lady Caroline has instructed me to extinguish two thirds of the illumination, your lordship, for the second part of the entertainment.” said Sutton.

“Oh!  Alright!  Caroline don’t half like to organise me!” said Hoxton.  “Always got a plan as to how things will proceed!”  The room got noticeably darker as Sutton moved around the room extinguishing candles and the eastern looking oil lamps placed everywhere.  As Sutton passed behind me her leg brushed my back again. I wanted to look around at her but decided it was best not to. Sutton departed and a few minutes later the door opened and the women filed in.  Now all dressed in silk dressing gowns as were we.

“Hello, gentlemen, we are sorry to be away from you for so long!” said Lady Caroline.

“Just about to send out a search party!” said Crozier.  He stood up and kissed his wife affectionately.

“Caroline, how on earth can it take quite so long to change from wearing a chemise to wearing a dressing gown!” said Hoxton, patting the empty cushions next to him.

“We weren’t wearing chemises.  We were all quite naked when we were in here, earlier!” said Lady Crozier.  “And what a truly sumptuous display it was!”

“Well, you now seem to be more covered up than before, which I cannot say is an improvement!” said Hoxton.

“We are all covered up the exact same amount that you are!” said Daisy.  “Which is only fair and equal!”

“Your views on equality are known all over Britain, today, Miss Johnson!” said Sir Jonty.  He had, thankfully covered himself with the arrival of the women, although they would all have seen him in his rampant state earlier.  

“Edith, you are somewhat swamped by your dressing gown!” said Britten. Edith was the shortest of the women there and, despite having rolled her sleeves up, still had something of the appearance of a child in her mother’s clothes  about her.

“All these gowns belong to James!” said Daisy.  “That’s why many of us look a little swamped!”  I hoped they were all clean. Daisy sat down between Hoxton and the general, to my annoyance. Daphne Crozier sat between the general and me and I had Emily on my other side, who was already cuddling up to Britten, to his obvious delight. We men sat after the women had selected tehir positions around the circle in the middle of the room. I noticed Daisy pat both Hoxton and the general's thighs as they sat next to her.

“So gentlemen did you all enjoy yourselves earlier?” asked Lady Caroline

We did!” said Elzabeth who was sat between her father and Sir Gerald.

“You were in the room when the...?” I stopped myself, not knowing how to politely describe it.

“Fun was happening?  Oh yes!” said Elizabeth.  “I saw everything!” She looked at my lap.  I was shocked.  Perhaps she had averted her eyes from where her father sat. I looked across to Sir Jonty and realised that if Elzabeth had been attending to me she would have had her back to him.  I caught her eye but she returned my gaze evenly, with no hint of anything that might have passed between us.

“We were wondering which of you ladies did what to us!” said Sir Gerald.

“And you can continue to wonder!” said Lady Caroline.  “We know how gentleman can be embarrassed about revealing their bodies to each other so we decided that having you blindfolded would remove any nervousness!  Then we realised any of us could do anything we liked to any of you!”

“Women with power!” said Edith.

“Hear, hear!” said Elizabeth.

“Not another suffragette!” said Hoxton.

“So we have all agreed not to reveal who did what to whom!  You can let your imaginations run riot!” said Daphne Crozier.

“But we will never tell!” added Daisy.

“Just a little hint?” asked Britten.

“Absolutely not!” said Lady Caroline.

Sutton returned and poured Champagne for the ladies.  I looked at her bracelet again but the long sleeves on the other ladies dressing gowns meant that I could not see any of their wrists.  In fact, with some of the women, I could barely see their hands.

“Now, that we all have some Champagne let’s start with our sexual confessions, as suggested at dinner!” said Lady Crozier. 

Yes, let’s!” said Edith. 

“It doesn’t have to be a confession, per se, just an arousing story to get us in the mood for more carnal play later!” said Lady Caroline.

“It has to be true, though!  No made up stories!” added Daisy, looking at me.

“Birthday boy first, I think!” said Lady Caroline.

“Oh!  Alright!  Some of you know this story but this is for our newcomers!” said Hoxton.  “It’s about me first time with a gel!”

“Perhaps Edmund can add his initiation story next!” said Daisy. “I would be so interested to hear about that!”  The others laughed and I blushed.  Hopefully the others couldn’t see, as the light was now so much dimmer in the Turkish Salon.

“Well, I ain’t a natural storyteller. like Molloy, here, which is why he is going to take notes, as while you ladies were pinching me port we established a new journal for the Babylon Exploration Society, which Edmund is going to edit for us,” said Hoxton.

“Really, Edmund?” asked Edith.  “And what will this journal consist of?”

“Stories.  Poems. Items relating to the kitchen and cellar...” I said.

“Descriptions of the new girls and their particular...talents,” added Sir Jonty.

“Daddy does enjoy a girl with particular talents!” laughed Elizabeth.

“Oh and what particular talents do these Babylon ladies have?” asked Edith.  “I would love to know.  I had imagined they just lie on their backs with their thighs parted, moan at appropriate moments and think about the money!”

“You will find out tomorrow, my dear Edith,” said Hoxton.

“The journal will have arousing illustrations,” said the general.  “So we were wondering if you might consider posing for it, Daisy!”

“What sort of illustrations?” asked Daisy.

Arousing ones,” said Sir Jonty.  I didn't like the way he was looking st Daisy now.  Was his dressing gown distended over his lap?

“I see!  Drawings or photographs?” said Daisy.

“We were contemplating both, depending on the cost,” said Sir Gerald.

“What about those drawings you did of me this afternoon, Edmund?  Would they be suitable?” asked Daisy.

“They would not!” I said, firmly.

“What sort of drawings were they?” asked the general.

 “Just sketches,” I said.  “Not good enough for a magazine!”

“Edmund can do very finely rendered drawings, though,” said Edith.  “He did a famous one of my arse, isn’t that right, James and William?”

“Indeed so, Edith!” laughed Hoxton.

“Now, everyone, this is all very interesting news but James must tell his tale.  I have another idea around illustrations for later!” said Lady Caroline. “Do proceed, James!”

“Right ho! I’ll try and get the essence across and Molloy can take it down!  He can write it up form me memoirs!”

“I can take shorthand, James, if Mr Molloy prefers,” said Edith.

“You have done more than your share of note taking in the past weeks, Edith!” said Hoxton. 

“Perhaps Edmund would prefer to keep his right hand free,” said Sarah.  “In case he wants to mast...”

“That’s enough, dear!” said Lady Caroline.  I was blushing again and pretended to look at my notebook.  I looked up at Hoxton and hoped he would take the hint and begin his story.  Fortunately, he did.

“When I was a little chap, living here at Hoxton Hall, I had a nanny who looked after me from when I popped out.  She was a nice old bird, although she was probably only in her forties.  Seemed old at the time to me! Now, unexpectedly she went off to live in America or somewhere else ghastly.  Perhaps it was Canada.  Anyway, her daughter, who lived in Exeter, came up to be me nanny instead.  I was passed down like a nice carriage clock, from one generation to the next.  I was seven and Molly was fourteen.  Their family had been minor aristocracy but the father had lost all his money in a dubious business deal in the Caribbean, leaving them impoverished. He knew me father, vaguely, and so he took Isobel, me original nanny, on as a sort of favour.  She was well educated and helped with the household as well as looking after me.  She used to tell me stories of adventures in the South Seas and the jungles of Africa and I am sure she had a lot to do with me interest in travelling the world.”

“An impressionable age, so I am sure that is true,” said Edith.

“So what was the nanny’s daughter like?” asked Sir Jonty.

“Well Molly, although she was twice me age at the time, was only seven years older than me.  Still a girl, really, but from my point of view she was just as grown up as her mother, age difference being what it is but I soon found that she was rather kinder than her mother.  Isobel wasn’t cruel or anything but Molly was more relaxed and friendly.  Most importantly for me, she also kept telling me stories at bedtime and started to teach me some Portuguese, as her grandmother had been from there.  Well, me father soon realised that Isobel could teach me perfectly well at home at that age without sending me to school.  We would pick books at random from me father’s library and read them together so I learned all sorts of interesting things.  As soon as she found a topic I responded to, like geography or military history we would go into the subject in much more detail.  It was an unconventional schooling but great fun!”

“So she was more in the manner of a governess, then!” said Elizabeth.

“Yes, indeed so.  Especially as I got older, although she would still help me dress and bathe me and what have you.  After dinner we would read a little in me room and then twice a week the maids would fill a hot bath in the room and she would wash me.  Now, as you can imagine, this was all well and good when I was seven but by the time I got to eleven I was starting to wake up with me todger all stiff.  I remember the first time it happened during bathtime.  As she started to wash me parts one evening it just swelled in her hand.  She didn’t look alarmed or say anything but just soaped it and carried on as normal. She never went further than just washing it but from then on I always responded to her touch!"

"So she would have been about eighteen?" asked Elizabeth.  "My age!"

"Indeed so," continued Hoxton.  "It was about this time that I started to realise that Molly was a lovely girl.  She had always stripped to her underthings for bath time.  I started to notice her shape and her bubbies and bottom.  Of course soon, when I was alone, I learned how to get meself spurting to obtain relief and I started to think about Molly’s arse when I did it!”

“Masturbation!” sighed Sarah. “Lovely!  Frig, frig, frig!”

“Well I enjoyed it and didn’t have anyone to tell me it was wrong. In fact, one day, when she was washing me knob she asked me if I ever spurted out white stuff from it.  I said yes, quite innocently and she asked me if it would be nice if she did it for me.  Well, of course it was bally marvellous!  She started rubbing me and I spent all over her forearm pretty damn quick.  From that day on she would pump me at every bath time.  After about three months of this she asked if she could try something different.  That, of course, was when I discovered the pleasures of being gamahuched.  Don’t think I will ever forget the first time her soft, wet mouth, enveloped the end of me todger.  I do confess that I came almost instantly, right inside her mouth!”

“So how long did that go on for?” asked Edith.

“Oh, over a year. Hand one on Tuesday night and gamahuching on Saturday night. She soon told me that I should never tell anyone else about what we did at bath time as it was our special grown up secret.  I was happy to keep quiet as long as she kept keeping me todger so happy and me stones drained!  Soon she was removing her chemise at bath time and let me play with her bubbies while she attended to me.”

“Were they nice ones?” asked Daisy.

“A nice shape.  Not huge but very satisfactory for a twelve year old boy!  Lovely teats!  Eventually she let me suckle on them while she frigged me.  Now one day she bathed me but didn’t make me spend.  I was disappointed but she seemed distracted, so I was worried about her, as I was very fond of her.  More fond of her than me mother, in fact, who was a distant sort of figure who I barely saw. She lived in our house in London and her visits were rare.  I later discovered that me father and she had had a falling out over his friendship with a lady Italian opera singer.”

“Splendid!” said Sir Jonty.

“Daddy likes ladies with big lungs!” said Elizabeth, giggling.

“Anyway, Molly said it would be best if she didn’t make me spend that Saturday and told me not to do it myself either. I wondered if there might be some medical reason for it. Anyway, that night I was in bed toying with me todger and wondering if I should just have a proper go.  I actually tried to make out the clock in the dark, reasoning that if it was after midnight it would be another day and I wouldn’t be going against her request!  Eventually, I heard the door open and then heard a rustle of clothing and someone get into bed with me.  I knew it was Molly.  I could smell her scent.  A mixture of lemons and her own musk which, I realised in retrospect, she had been generating for some time during our games.  Her hand went straight to me todger and she started to rub it.  Then she kissed me cheek and soon we were kissing on the lips, for the first time, rather clumsily on my part.  It didn’t take me a second to realise that she was completely naked and my hands roamed all over her soft body.  I squeezed her bubbies, clasped her lovely arse and discovered the fur at the apex of her legs which, I realised was like what I had been growing of late. She told me it was time for the next part of me education.  

“What fun!” said Edith.

“Anyway, she soon wriggled down the bed, pushing the covers back and me nightshirt up before starting on me todger with her mouth.  However, she soon stopped that and sat astride my hips before taking me in hand and guiding me up inside her. Well, what a sensation!  I just lay there as she started moving on top of me.  Then she took my hands and placed them on her bubbies. Well, it didn’t take long and soon I was spurting inside her.  I soon recovered and we did it three more times that night.  The last time, I realised in retrospect, I made her spend.  She slipped away just before dawn!”

“Your first time!  How lovely!  I will always remember the way you took me for the first time last month!” said Emily.  “What happened to Molly?  Did you get found out and did she have to leave?  Or did you keep doing it?”  

“We kept doing it but I had to go to Eton.  I had been educated by Molly at home but me mother died shortly afterwards and father decided I needed a proper education.  Needed to meet some chaps like me and develop some social skills. That first rogering session happened in the spring and we started to do it twice a week every week.  Her on top.  Me on top. Me taking her from behind.  She taught me so much.  Later, I thought that she must be very experienced but she confessed that I had been her first.  She had found some of me father’s French erotic novels and wanted to try things out.  Although I was only thirteen by then I was already a strapping chap of six feet.”

“And of course blessed with a superb cock!” said Lady Caroline.

“I had no idea about how I measured up!  Thought all chaps were the same. Only when I started at school that I realised!   That September I had to leave for Eton.  Poor Molly was quite tearful as she thought she would lose her job, I suppose,” said Hoxton.

“Quite traumatic for you,too, losing your mother, your physical comfort and having to leave home!” said Edith.

“Character building, me father told me.  I have to say that the first thing I did when I returned from Eton at Christmas was to ask Molly to fill me a bath.  I think I had been stiff as Nelson’s Column for the whole journey home!”

“And did you do her as soon as you got home?” asked Sarah.

“Yes! Right on the nursery floor.  We didn’t even take our clothes off.  Unfortunately, me father walked in on us just as I was spending!  I pulled out of her but was emptying me ballocks all over the nursery rug!” 

“Oh dear, what happened?” asked Britten.

“He told us both that this would never happen again.  Molly was blubbing as she thought she really was about to lose her job but he asked her to be his housekeeper instead, as the previous one had left after me mother died.  Then of course, came the twist!”

“What was that?” asked Daisy.

“Well me father starts poking her instead.  Soon they are sleeping in the same bed.  Two years later they got married.  She became Lady Hoxton!”

“Not the Lady Hoxton who visits here, sometimes?” asked Lady Caroline.  “I knew she was your father’s second wife but not that she had been your nanny and your first...”

“Fuck!” added Sarah.  “What an absolute hoot!”

"She doesn't like me very much, I think!" said Lady Caroline, giving a wry smile.

“So she still lives here?  Is she here today?” asked Edith.

“She lives in the South of France for much of the time but she comes to visit several times a year.  Every Spring she comes to stay and we get down and do it with each other on the anniversary of that first time!”

“Even now?” asked Daisy. “She must be quite elderly!”

“She is fifty-nine.  Not elderly at all.  Her body is in superb shape still.  She plays a lot of tennis.”

“Daisy, being nineteen, has a peculiar notion as to what constitutes elderly!” said Edith. “I am sure she thinks I am elderly!”

“You are older than me mum!” said Daisy, laughing, her accent slipping a little.  She had drunk quite a lot of Champagne.

“Did you have these anniversary frolics when she was with your father or only after he passed away?” asked Lady Caroline.

“Must confess it was every year.  I have been poking Molly every April 5th for more than forty years!  Apart from when I am away and then we reschedule for later. Such a comforting cunny.  Still gets delightfully wet!  Well, you’ll meet her tomorrow, anyway!  Missed last year’s one as I was in Brazil!  Do her tomorrow, probably!”

“Good heavens!” said Daisy, looking at Lady Caroline who shook her head and smiled.

“I think that is a very sweet story,” said Elizabeth.  “To keep close to your first love over all this time!”

“Well I married my first one!” said Edith.  “And although I do not regret my choice I do find him very disappointing in the realm of physical intimacy these days!”

“So he was passionate to begin with?” asked Lady Crozier.

“Oh yes!” said Edith.

“I think that you have just volunteered to tell us our next tale!” said Daisy.

“Indeed," answered Edith.  “Are you ready to take notes, Edmund?  Although this is not for publication in your deliciously sordid sounding magazine!  George is not a libertine of any sort but when he and I first got married he was, to put it rather indecorously, up me constantly.  He had just bought the house we live in today but we had almost no furniture.  A bed, a desk and a chair for George and a dining table and two chairs.  However, within two days of returning from our honeymoon, spent digging for fossils in Dorset, he had had me over every piece of furniture and in every room in the house.  Christening every room he called it. We even did it in the linen cupboard on the first floor and that was a squeeze I can tell you!”

“Well, my theory is that if a man was passionate in bed at any point, or in the linen cupboard,” added Lady Crozier with a smile, “then that passion is still within and he just needs help to bring it out once more!”

“I wish that were so,” said Edith, looking wistful.  “Edna Somersby and her professor go at it all the time, she tells me.  She has five children.  Neither, and I hate to be cruel, are what you might call attractive people but they appear to be sexually very compatible!”

“The ability to populate the world with children should not be the sole criterion in judging the worth of a woman!” said Lady Crozier.  “I am sure you would agree with that, Daisy!”

“Women are capable of doing so much more than they are given credit for and yet society seems mainly concerned with whether they are married before the age of twenty-five and popping out babies like an American motor car manufactory thereafter!” said Daisy. 

“I am unable to bear children so have devoted my life to supporting George,” said Edith.

“And that is a fine thing for a wife to do,” said Sir Gerald.  “I think that these days, just as a man might take a mistress, there is no reason that a woman might not do the same with a man, especially if it removes potential stress from a marriage.  Silly to lose all the benefits of an otherwise close partnerships because of sexual incompatibility!”

“Very wise words, Sir Gerald and my thoughts precisely when I embarked on my first affair three years ago!” said Edith.

“Ah, now, of course, you have to tell us the whole story!” said Daisy.

“Yes, do tell!” said Lady Caroline.

“Well, George was away, of course.  His dinosaur fossil hunting trips were becoming an annual affair and the trips were becoming longer and longer.  I often asked to accompany him but he always said that an expedition was no place for a damned woman!”

“As Marguerite Blanc discovered!” I said.

“I wish I had had the wherewithal to be more forceful that first time.  Perhaps things would be different today,” Edith continued.  I was already worried about what story I might tell, if asked.  “It all began just over a year after our marriage, when George had left for Wyoming on his first long expedition, with no indication whatsoever as regards the date of his return. I was bereft, alone in the house. I begged him to let me travel with him but he flat refused.  I was most disappointed as I thought I might quite enjoy the rugged experience of copulating in a tent in the American desert!”  I thought about Marguerite and her ‘companion’ in the deserts of New Mexico. “He had never been away for more than a few days before.  A week, perhaps.  But this trip to America was scheduled to last for three or four months.  It was then that I sought out those few female friends I had and we had lunch and tea out regularly.  However we were not well off in those days.  George had spent nearly all his money on the house.  We had no staff and very little money for food. I bought a copy of Mrs Beeton and learned to cook. My family had been comfortably off and we had staff to do these things but George and I were happy.  He was writing his books and papers and I looked after him as best as I could.  I had no idea about domestic chores and could not wash clothes or use an iron, for example.  I was a rotten housewife.  Fortunately, I fuck like a bitch in heat, which he did appreciate at the time!”  Elizabeth sniggered,

“So, how did things change?” asked Daisy.  I thought I saw, out of the corner of my eye, her stroking the general's thigh again.

“Well I was becoming listless at home after he had been away a few weeks.  We had never been apart this long.  I was missing sexual intimacy, I realised, more than anything. Fortunately, Edna Somersby came to my rescue and we became close friends.  At that point George and her husband were friends.  Rivals, yes, but friendly rivals. Edna would take me out to lunch once a week and we would get quite drunk.  Edna has always enjoyed her drink but George does not touch the stuff.  I was not a great drinker until Edna taught me about wine, something she had learned from her husband as he is a great expert with a large cellar.  Well, she started inviting me for tea once a week as well.  Although “tea” with Edna usually means cake and Madeira or Sherry.”

“Sound woman,” said Lord Hoxton, shifting on his pile of cushions and pressing his body against Lady Crozier’s who was sat between him and her husband.  At least it meant he was further away from Daisy.

“Well, one afternoon she said she would love to come and take tea with me at our house.  I went into something of a panic.  We had never entertained at home, due to the mess George makes.  The home Edmund and James have visited recently is a transformation compared with what it was back then.  We had more furniture by then, yes, but George refused to buy bookcases as he would rather spend the money on actual books.  These then were piled into precarious looking towers all over the house. Up the stairs, along the landing and worst of all, in the drawing room where the tottering towers rather had the appearance of San Gimignano in Turscany.  I begged him to keep at least one room in the house clear of books but he ignored me.  One day I inadvertently knocked a pile of books over and he was furious.  I cowered in the corner as he fulminated at me in his typical way.  I thought he might actually strike me!”

“I say!  Bad show!” said Sir Gerald.  “Shouldn’t hit a woman unless she wants it, eh?” he looked over at his wife who raised an eyebrow at him.

“Well, in fact, he did strike me!  He picked me up, something he is easily able to do, flung me over his knee, pulled down my drawers and spanked me. Spanked me hard too. Several dozen strokes!”

“Goodness!” said Daisy.

“But of course, about half way through the process, we both realised we were enjoying it.  I became, if you will forgive me, dripping wet and I could feel George’s erect manhood pressing against my flank.  He rolled me off his lap onto the floor so I was face down on the rug, unbuttoned himself, parted my thighs and took me from behind.  Thrusting and thrusting and thrusting with all his considerable might.  Like you and Molly after your return from Eton, we did not remove any clothes.  I pulled one foot out of my drawers so as to be able to spread my legs but that was all. I came almost immediately but George kept going.  I came again which was a new sensation for me.  Never had I climaxed twice in a row like that.  Then George spent inside me and we collapsed in a perspiring pile.  That was the first time George took me from the rear and after that it was our usual position.  I enjoyed it at first but missed seeing his ugly face during copulation.  I enjoy watching my men’s faces as they climax.  Am I being too graphic in my description, Lord Hoxton?”

“Not at all Edith!” replied Hoxton.  “You are pitching it perfectly.  I confess that I am starting to become erect once more!”

“He really is,” said Lady Crozier, slipping her hand inside his dressing gown.  I looked at Sir Gerald but he just smiled fondly at his wife.  I confess that I was in a similar state, as I could picture exactly what Edith’s nether regions looked like with her thighs spread and her bottom presented.  Although we had not performed in this position I had watched Daisy penetrating Edith with her fingers as she sprawled face down on the bed.  I had dreamt then of the opportunity to take her from behind.

“Anyway, I am losing my thread.  I had to agree to Edna coming for tea but I had to move George’s books from the drawing room.  I shifted all the furniture in the dining room to one side and transferred every pile from the drawing room to there.  Every book remained as it was in the pile.  Every pile arranged as it had been in the other room.  I even measured the distance between each pile so that I could replace them precisely.  This process took me a full day.  A day of back breaking work followed by another day of dusting and cleaning. I confess that at the end of the process when I stood in my perfectly normal looking drawing room I burst into tears!”

“Poor Edith!” said Lady Caroline, stroking her bare thigh..  Edith smiled at her.

“However,” continued Edith “it was Edna’s subsequent visit which saved my sanity.  She arrived with a large hamper from Fortnum’s stuffed full of goodies and we had quite the picnic in the drawing room. We drank a whole bottle of Madeira and it was at this point that she asked me when George was coming back.  I burst into tears again and told her the whole story of my frustration and listlessness.  Well, she said that Professor Somersby was away too, for extended periods but that she caressed herself, thinking about him until she came.  Well, I had never heard of such a thing.  I had never done that.  Sometimes I became aroused thinking about George but I would just caress my breasts a little. I did enjoy the feeling of a towel between my legs as I dried myself but never thought to take it further.  Edna told me all about masturbation and said that when we met up again for lunch the following day I was to have tried it and should tell her what I thought!”

“And did you?  Did you frig yourself?” asked Sarah.  “I love frigging myself!”  She demonstrated her hand action for us all.

“That’s enough, dear,” said her mother.  “Stop being so distracting!”

“Well, I had a nice hot bath that very evening,” said Edith.  “I was still quite inebriated, I think and I climbed into bed without putting my nightdress on.  It felt wonderful to be naked under the sheets and I started to caress my breasts, then down to my belly and then I cupped my sex.  It was already warm and wet.  I spent some time exploring my parts with my fingers and discovering all sorts of lovely sensations.”

“Did you achieve your climax?” asked Elizabeth, who had also started to caress her sex quite openly.  Britten shifted in his pile of cushions next to him and tried to pretend not to observe Elizabeth's hand disappearing inside her robe.

“Not that first time.  But I had done enough to satisfy Edna!  At lunch the next day she told me to try to achieve a climax and told me to concentrate on rubbing my bud.”

“And did that work?” asked Daisy.

“Nearly!  It was only when I slipped my finger inside at the same time that it happened.  I was delighted!  It wasn’t the same as being taken by George, of course, but it really helped deal with my frustration.  I used to do it every night from then on!”

“I love doing it to myself too!” said Emily.  “Masturbating!” she joined her sister and Elizabeth in caressing herself.  To my horror, Daisy put her hand inside her robe as well, while continuing to stroke the general's leg.  I thought about standing up and calling him out but I did not want to make a scene.  I just simmered in anger, quietly.

“But how did you go from frigging to deciding you needed a lover?” asked Daisy.  That was precisely what I wondered too, although I was not sure whether I would like the answer.

“That. dearest Daisy, is a story for another day!” replied Edith.

“Ah, Edith, you are a positive Scheherazade!” said Sir Gerald.  “Always keep them wanting for more!”

“That sentiment has certainly stood me in good stead over the years!” said Lady Crozier.

“How about a story from you, Lady Crozier?” said young Sarah.  “When did you discover about sex?”

“I think now might be a good time for a break,” said Lady Caroline. 

“Oh alright! I need to piss too, mummy!” said Sarah, removing her fingers from her parts and licking them lasciviously while looking at me.

“Now Edmund why don’t you fetch your drawing things and attempt a sketch or two!” suggested Lady Caroline.  “Something you could use in our new magazine!”

“You can draw me, masturbating!” said Sarah.  “Again.”  She looked at Edith and smiled.

"Oh, I was planning something rather more participative!" said Lady Caroline.
