It picks up some months after the initial sexual exploration between Janice and William. The description from Targeted Ch 01 states the reasoning behind this second section. "An itch is scratched and love blossoms." ************************** Janice: Age - 60; Stats: 36B-26-38, 130 lbs. Height: 70 inches. She could not be considered beautiful in the Vogue sense but Mature would have signed her to a contract without hesitation. Knowing which colors and materials brought out her best side she dressed in unstated elegance. Weight would never be a problem. A Wholesome diet and regular exercise maintained her figure. Men and women were constantly having a good, long look. Bill: Age - 65; Stats: 44-34-38, 195 lbs. Height: 74 inches. Men don't have a cup size. He wasn't model material but there was a presence that was reinforced when he looked at you with his hazel eyes. He kept in shape but was loosing the battle for control of his abs. Injuries to his spine prohibited the type of exercise that would have produced flat abs. The cut and color of his clothing had been selected to accentuate his overall appearance but not draw attention to his height. Nancy: Age - 62; Stats: 34B-25-35, 120 lbs. Height: 68 inches. Both sexes would classify her as a 'plain Jane'. That is what Nancy considered herself to be. She was the tallest and thinnest of her family. Her lineage was white Russian but her body build was more Scandinavian. Bright blue eyes were framed by page boy blonde locks. A perky nose sat above small but sensuous lips. She carried herself in a regal manner having been taught early on about posture and poise. When people got to know her they found a sense of humor and a strength of intelligence. It took her awhile to warm to people but with those she did found in Nancy a life long friend. ************************** Janice called Bill after lunch. Picking up after three rings Bill said, "Haggen speaking." "Hi Bill," Janice said, "This is Janice. Can you get away this evening for a weekend trip to the coast?" "I don't have any plans that are set in concrete," Bill replied, "What's up?" "Some friends of mine are off to Arizona looking at real estate. They had a call from friends on the coast saying they thought the house might have some storm damage. Alice called and asked me if I could check it out for them." "Your car or mine?" "Can we use yours? If there is no damage we can drive the beaches at low tide." "Okay, I'll just fill the tank up this afternoon and toss my tool kit in the back. What time do you think we should leave?" "1900 should be fine. There is a nice place to eat just at the edge of town. When we get to the house we'll start the fire and then do a walk-around. Oh, dress warmly that ocean breeze can be nasty. Do you have rain gear?" "Yes, I have rain gear. I'll pack some extra clothes in an overnight bag." "Okay, I'll see you at 1900 then. Bye." "Bye," Bill said before cradling the receiver. 'Good!' Janice said to herself as she dialed Nancy's number. On the third ring her friend picked up and said, "Hi Janice. What can I do for you?" "Can you meet me at my place at three o'clock?" "Sure, I can do that," Nancy said, "What's up?" "I'll tell you when I see you," Janice replied, "Got to go. See you." Janice didn't wait for Nancy to respond and hung up the phone. 'Part two is in the oven', Janice said to herself. Picking up the phone she dialed Marie's extension. "Hi Janice," Marie said. "Marie, I'm leaving for the rest of the day and won't be available during the weekend." Janice said to her assistant. "Okay! Taking that mystery man and hiding out for the weekend?" "Marie!" squeaked Janice. "Janice!" Marie responded, "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the change in you over the past three months. You've got half the girls drooling for a chance to meet this mystery man of yours." "All of you will have to wait until the Christmas party," Janice replied. "Alright. Have fun but don't come back with too big a grin on your face." "Marie, you're impossible." Janice threw back as she hung up the phone. Janice cleaned up her desk and the put patient files on Marie's desk to be locked away at closing. Stopping at the Reception Desk Janice told the girl on duty that Marie knew how to get in touch with her. It was about 1430 when Janice checked her mail and walked to her apartment. Entering the apartment she hung her coat up and put on a pot of coffee. Janice knew that Nancy enjoyed a cup as much as she did. There were no messages on the answering system so she walked on towards her bedroom. Smiling at a memory Janice closed the blinds in the living area. Entering the bedroom Janice closed the blinds and then began to strip off her clothes as she approached the bathroom. She held the blouse and bra until she came to the hamper. Throwing those items in Janice leaned against the doorjamb and removed the remaining garments. Going into the bathroom she paused long enough to turn on the water and set the faucet to the temperature she liked before going to the toilet to relieve herself. After a thorough refreshing shower Janice was tying the belt to the robe she wore when the doorbell rang. She walked to the door. Looking through the 'peep' hole Janice recognized her friend Nancy standing outside. Unlocking the door she opened it allowing Nancy to come in. Janice closed the door and locked it. After kissing Janice tenderly on the lips Nancy said, "What can I do for you at three o'clock on a Friday afternoon? Does it have anything to do with your mystery man?" "Yes, circumstances have presented an opportunity that I don't want to pass up," Janice said, "Do you remember the fun we had last week?" "Of course, before, during and after." "Well, I want you to make sure I'm baby smooth from my butt hole to my belly button." "This guy has given you more than a case of crotch itch, hasn't he?" Nancy said leading Janice towards the bathroom. Janice stopped in the bedroom. "Wait a second, I'll turn the other lights on." Walking over to the nightstand Janice turned on two small switches. The room was flooded with a brilliant light. "Wow, that is some improvement." "They're sun lights. They were developed for hydroponics' gardening. Bill recommended them." "So, the mystery man has a name. No last name please. I don't want to know. And it goes without saying it — I know about discretion." "Thank you, Nancy." "Hop up on the bed and get comfortable while I get your things from the bathroom." When Nancy returned she cautioned Janice about the hot face cloth she would use to soften the stubble. Janice flinched even after the warning. "Hey, careful please. I want to use that this weekend." "And the butt plug on the counter?" "The thought has crossed my mind." "You would let a man have you anally?" "Why not? You and I have had plenty of fun playing with each other." "Never with something that big." Janice said, "If I say 'No' Bill won't do it. If I say 'Stop' he stops right then and we talk about it. I'm in control of our sexual exploration." "I have never found a man that interested in my pleasure." Nancy was busy shaving Janice's most private parts. "Don't move, I'm going to shave around your butt hole and then your outer lips." Janice held her position and took shallow regular breaths. "Okay, all done. The baby oil will b cool but will stop any irritation. Do you want me to install that butt plug for you?" "Will you?" "Of course, silly. I won't deny you your carnal pleasures. I certainly enjoy our times together." Nancy went off to get the sex toy. When she returned Nancy commented, "Bill must be pretty big if you have to loosen your butt hole with this." "He is big and long." Janice said with a confused look on her face." "Janice, we have shared many, many things over the years we've know each other. I know that you have sex with men for the completion and fulfillment you get from it. I also know that you have had sex several female lovers. You prefer my company for both the sex and my help in talking out and releasing the pain you lift from your patients at the clinic." Janice sat there stunned. She had heard the same sincerity and conviction from Bill before they had had their initial sexual exploration together. "Are you okay, Janice?" Nancy said interrupting Janice's thoughts, "You look like you have seen or heard a ghost." "In a way Nancy I have." Janice said softly, "Bill used the same words with slightly different phrases before we had sex together." "You have met a very strange man then." Nancy replied. "Nancy, have you ever been with a man?" "No, my first attempt at love took a wrong turn. He made a decision that affected me without consulting me. I rebelled at his insensitivity by dumping him. I never saw him after that. When I graduated high school my father informed me that he had arranged my marriage to a nice Russian boy. I packed my bags and worked my way across the country. Working at secretarial positions I finally saved enough to get the education I wanted. I moved up here about a year before we met at the association meetings. I have applied my knowledge and skills in the homeopathic medicine field ever since." "Bill has an interesting story too but I don't have permission to say anything. Would you be willing to meet him her over a quiet dinner?" "I wouldn't want to start a competition." "I know there would be no competition. Bill doesn't think like that. I believe that the two of you would augment my life and complement each other." Nancy felt odd twinges in parts of her body that usually responded indifferently. "Oh my! Do you have any pads or tampons?" "No, I never use them." "Are you starting your period?" "No, but the conversation caused a change and my pussy is drooling. TP will have to do until I get home. I will give thought and serious consideration to your dinner offer. I better run along so you can finish packing for your weekend." Janice got off the bed and retied her robe. Walking Nancy to the door she said, "When you make your decision let me know. I won't make any plans until then. Thank you for your help this afternoon." "You're welcome. Unless I see you sooner I'll see you at the association meeting." Nancy said. Janice locked the door, walked across the room into her bedroom. Opening her closet she pulled out her overnight bag and tossed it on the bed. There was a soft thump as the bag landed. Investigating Janice found the butt plug under the bag. Looking at it she decided that this wasn't the time. 'Let it happen naturally', Janice said to herself. Going back to the closet Janice selected two flannel shirts and two pair of wool slacks. Bending down she pulled out her sturdy hiking boots. Satisfied Janice put the clothes on her bed and walked to the dresser. Opening a bottom drawer she two sets of pale blue silk long johns. From another drawer Janice selected match bra and panty sets. One was deep blue/green almost matching the water she and Bill would be looking at. The other set was the color of damp sand. Closing the drawer Janice walked by the bed putting the bra and panty sets down by her other clothes before she continued on into the bathroom. Removing the toiletry kit from the linen closet she opened several drawers under the counter top. Selecting what she needed Janice tossed the items into the kit. On a whim Janice also put her raspberry lipstick into the kit before she slid the zipper shut. Closing all the drawers Janice picked up the kit and walked into the bedroom turning off the lights as she went. Glancing at the clock on the nightstand Janice decided that she had time to take a nap before getting dressed and greeting that mystery man. Moving to the side of the bed Janice slid the bag and clothes to the far side. Adjusting her robe Janice lay down on her side and quickly fell asleep. Bill selected the clothes he would wear on the drive to the coast. Silk long johns, wool trousers, flannel shirt, and cotton and wool socks. A clean T-shirt and boxers completed the outfit. Taking out his overnight bag he packed the same type of clothing but doubled the quantity. Tossing in more cotton and wool socks Bill went into the bathroom and assembled his shaving kit. Coming back into the bedroom he packed the kit, closed and locked the bag. Bill put his overnight bag by the front door so he would remember to take it with him when he serviced his SUV. At 1900 Bill was walking up to Janice's door when she came out with her overnight bag. "Good evening, Janice." Bill said, "All ready to go?" "Let me lock up," Janice replied, "and we can leave." Picking up the bag by the front door Bill waited while Janice double checked her front door. "Okay," Janice said, "all done." As Bill was stowing Janice's bag in the back of his SUV Janice commented on the amount of stuff he was bringing. Bill responded, "The tool box is here in case we need to do some repairs. The overnight bag has my change of clothes and toiletries. My day pack goes along whenever I travel to the seashore or the woods. I carry emergency rations, first aid kit, dry socks and space blankets plus odds and ends." "I didn't know I was fooling around with a Boy Scout." Janice quipped. "The Boy Scout's, the Civil Air Patrol and the US Army taught me to anticipate. Do you want to drive?" "No, I like it when you drive." Reaching between the seats Bill picked up a small keyboard. Handing it to Janice he said, "Type in our destination and we'll let GPS guide us to our dinner." Leaving when they did Bill and Janice were behind ninety-five percent of the rush hour traffic. They made excellent time and approached their destination at 2100 hours. "Where do we eat?" Bill said, "I'm starved." "Pull into Harry's up on the left." Janice said pointing to the brightly lit road side sign, "He is an old family friend. The locals stop by to catch up on the news and gossip. During the summer the tourists soon learn that the food is better and they don't get gouged on the price." Pulling into a parking spot near the front door Bill stopped and unfastened his seat belt. Removing the keys to the ignition he opened his door and stepped out to stretch. Going around to Janice's door he opened it and allowed Janice to exit the vehicle. Janice moved away from the door and performed a full body stretch while Bill closed the door and secured the SUV. Janice quipped, "You could have left it unlocked you know. There isn't anyone that would steal it parked at Harry's." "Old habits die hard." Bill replied, "Most of the places that I lived in the SUV wouldn't be there in the morning, even after a very short night." Bill watched Janice fill her lungs with the night air and smiled as her breasts rose to tighten the material of her blouse. He was surprised that Janice's nipples were erect but chose not to say anything. When she expelled the deep breath Bill said, "Ready to get something to eat?" Janice looked Bill straight on and said, "What I want to eat is not on the menu but it's a good place to start." Walking the short distance to the front entry Bill held the door open and indicated that Janice should precede him into the restaurant. "Thank you, kind sir." Janice said as she passed into the restaurant. "I'm selfish," Bill replied, "I wanted to see the back side of you before you sat down for dinner." Janice blushed at the open compliment but said nothing. They stood by the cashier's station for less than a minute when a booming voice rang out. "Find a place in the back of the restaurant with a view folks. I'll bring some coffee in just a minute." Taking Bill's hand Janice led him down the center isle and found a nice window view but out of the way from the front doors. Janice slid into the seat facing away from the kitchen door. Bill wanted to sit next to her but chose discretion instead. Sitting down opposite her he looked around at the interior of the dining room. The whole effect of the nautical theme was quite charming. It wasn't over done as so many places were. Looking out the window Bill saw a glimmer in the distance. "Is that glimmer in the distance the Pacific Ocean?" he asked Janice. "Yes it is. You're very observant for a man of your age." Janice teased, "Most people are interested in getting the belly's full and don't see what is going on around them." "I take it that the owners are ex-Navy types?" Bill said as he took in the fact that Janice's headlights were on high. "Yes," Janice said, "and don't say a word about the condition of my headlights we are in a public place." Just then a heavy set man whose age was not easily guessed walked up to the table with two cups and a pot of coffee. Upon seeing Janice his smile broadened. "Janice, it is a pleasure to see you. It's been too long." Turning toward the kitchen he bellowed, "Andy, Janice is here. Come say hello." Setting down the cups in front of them this heavy set man carefully poured each cup to within a half inch of the brim. Another man joined the heavy set man at the table. He was shorter and thinner but there was something about him that made you want to like and listen to. "Janice, you're a sight for sore eyes." he said. "Bill," Janice said, "I'd like you to meet old friends of the family." The heavy set man extended a hand saying, "I'm Harry." The other man then extended his hand and said, "I'm Andy, chief cook and bottle washer. Pleasure to meet you." "You're British?" Bill said. "Even after all these years I can't loose the accent." Andy replied. "Well, Janice and I are hungry." Bill responded looking directly at Andy, "Would you fix us something to eat, please? And with that I would thoroughly enjoy a proper cuppa." "It would be my pleasure. Would you like a bit of the dog with your cuppa?" "No thank you. I gave up the dog years ago." "Well then, you might be knowing a gent goes by the name of Bill W.?" "I never had the priviledge. But I attempt to practice the principles in my daily life." Bill replied. "Enjoy your coffee while I see what I can do about your empty stomachs." Andy said turning towards the kitchen. "So, what brings you down this way?" Harry asked in general to both of them. Janice spoke for them saying, "I got a call from Alice saying that there had been a storm. She asked if I would check out the house for possible damage. Bill agreed to accompany me and provide fix it skills should they be necessary." "So, you're a many talented man?" Harry asked. "I can perform a quick fix but would rather leave the genuine repairs to more qualified experts." Bill replied. "Oh, don't mind me. I would have thought Ted and Alice would ring me up and request me or Andy to have a look see." "I really didn't mind." Janice said, "I needed a break from the city and Bill hasn't been to the shores for several years." "Well, enjoy your coffee." Harry said, "I'm sure that Andy will fix something that will please the palate and fill your stomach's. Holler when you need a refill on the coffee. I'm going to start closing this dinosaur up." Picking up the coffee pot he ambled away toward the front of the restaurant. Bill looked at Janice with a question in his eyes. "Am I being given the third degree?" he asked. "Don't mind Harry. He does that to everybody." Janice responded. Just then Andy appeared at the table with generous portions of Danish Shepherd Pie and a basket of crisp, flaky biscuits. "I don't salt my food so taste and add to your liking." Turning to Janice he added, "Always a pleasure to see you. I can see that you are enjoying life to the fullest." With a sly wink he walked back into the kitchen. Rippling Water Ch. 01 Janice blushed and picked up her fork to fill her mouth in order to hide the blush from Bill. She saw Bill raise an eyebrow in question but didn't respond with. Bill tasted his dinner, reached for the salt sprinkling some on then tasted again. He smiled as the savory tender pie teased his taste buds. Satisfied Bill eagerly ate the food on his plate and helped himself to two of the biscuits. They were about finished many minutes later when Andy silently brought them two steaming mugs of liquid and disappeared back into the kitchen. Bill leaned over to sniff the liquid and smiled as his nose inhaled the brisk, deep aroma a stout English tea. "Andy must have raided his personal stock to satisfy my desire for a proper cuppa." He said. Janice looked over at Bill saying, "I didn't know that you were familiar with proper British tea." "Hong Kong and the Royal Marines." Bill replied, "It was during one of the few stops there that I was introduced to a proper cuppa and have liked it every since. The shame of it is that I can't quite get the same taste when I attempt to make it myself." "Maybe Andy would be willing to share his method of making it with you." Janice suggested. "Maybe after he gets to know me better." Bill replied. "If you'll excuse me Bill, I need to visit the powder room." Janice said. "Of course." Bill said rising from his seat. "You didn't have to get up." Janice quipped but was delighted with his gallant gesture. Bill just smiled in return. As Janice rounded the corner Harry came out of the kitchen and took her vacant seat. "Bill, he said, "I'm sticking my nose into something that is none of my business but I have a vested interest in Janice's welfare. Are your intentions towards her honorable?" Bill almost laughed at the question but there was something about Harry's tone that stopped the laughter mid-throat. He realized that his intentions were more than honorable. He felt, not for the first time, that he loved the Janice and would like to spent the rest of his life providing examples of that love. "Harry, I appreciate your forthrightness. I will tell you that my intentions are more than honorable. Sometime in the near future I plan on making her my wife." Extending his hand to Bill Harry said, "I like the cut of your jib. This will never be spoken of again." Rising from the seat Harry walked back into the kitchen. Bill smiled inwardly as he took stock of what he had just shared with Harry. Yes, he did love Janice and that made his whole day brighter. Janice came back to the table but instead of sitting she indicated to Bill that she was ready to leave. "It's been a long day and I want to do a quick check of the house before I go to sleep." Bill wiped his mouth, placed the linen napkin on the table and stood up. "I agree with your comment." They walked to the cashier's station and rang the bell sitting on the display case. Harry came around the corner to check on the situation. Bill asked Harry what the damage was and promptly paid adding a nice tip. "Bill, I hope that I have the pleasure of seeing you again. Janice, it is always a pleasure to see you." "We enjoyed the fine meal and I for one will come back again." Bill said as he followed Janice out the SUV. After Bill had seen Janice safely tucked into his SUV he walked around to the driver's door and made himself comfortable. "Which way to the house?" "Turn left out of the parking lot and it's about a mile up the road." Janice replied. Rippling Water Ch. 02 Janice was opening her card case as Bill approached the fence protected property. "Put this into the card reader on the left side of the driveway." Janice said indicating a post about twenty feet before the gate. As Bill slipped the card into the reader he asked Janice, "Have I just cooperated in my own kidnapping?" "But of course," replied Janice, "I wanted to have you all to myself for two whole days." "So you contrived this little trip to the seashore?" Bill said. "I won't play that sort of game." Janice said tartly. "The situation about the storm damage is real. But I decided to take advantage of the opportunity." "Thank you for your honesty, Janice." Bill replied, "I've been looking for an opportunity like this myself." While they talked the gate had opened and now was closing. Bill was still holding the card so he inserted it into the reader a second time. The gate paused then reversed direction. Bill drove forward and stopped allowing the gate to close behind him. "Where do I park?" "Around behind the house. There is a two car garage. I'll get out and trigger the opener from inside the kitchen." "After I park shall I bring the bags in?" Bill asked. "Yes, please. I'll start the fire to warm up the house." "Okay." Bill said as Janice got out and walked to the kitchen door. Janice unlocked the door and entered the house. Lights came on in the kitchen and the garage door started to rise. Bill pulled into the garage noting that he would have room to raise the tailgate when the door was shut. Bill shut down the ignition and doused his headlights. After exiting the SUV he walked to the rear scanning for the button to lower the door when he left. Not seeing one Bill raised the tailgate, pulled out the two overnight bags and shut the tailgate. Fingering his pocket Bill enabled the alarm system. Picking up the overnight bags he took them into the house. While Bill was putting the SUV away Janice entered the living room and approaching the far wall bent down to ignite the fireplace. Through design and innovation the fireplace would have the house comfortably warm in fifteen minutes. Walking to the sliding glass doors Janice read the display to the right of the doors. Smiling she noted that the water in the pool was a comfortable seventy-two degrees. 'Just right for skinny dipping,' she thought to herself. Turning around at the sound of a door opening Janice said, "Bill, shall I make us a pot of coffee?" "Sounds good to me." Bill replied, "While it's brewing we can do a preliminary walk-about to see if there is any obvious storm damage. Damn it, I didn't think to bring in the flashlights." "Tsk, Tsk, Shame on you." Janice said with a giggle, "And the garage is so far away." Bill walked to the counter where Janice was preparing the coffee. Trapping Janice between his arms Bill laid several light kisses to the side of her neck. "We left in such a rush that I didn't have a chance to give you a proper greeting." "Allow me to turn around," Janice said as she felt the tingles course through her body, "and you can rectify that glaring omission." Bill stepped back just far enough to let Janice pivot in place. One arm went around Janice's neck while the other snaked its way around her back. While Bill thoroughly kissed Janice's lips his arms tightened molding Janice into his body. When Bill broke the kiss Janice laid her head on Bill's shoulder. "Wow! That kind of greeting I could get used to." "Then I shall endeavor to properly greet you from this point on." "Oh, please use discretion. I would feel uncomfortable if you did it in the mayor's office or at the apartment complex." "So noted." Bill said, "Shall we perform our preliminary investigation for storm damage?" Slipping their coats Bill and Janice went out to the garage. Retrieving two flashlights Bill gave one to Janice indicating that she should lead the way. "This thing is heavy." Janice said attempting to make small talk. She was trying to shake off the effects of Bill's kiss and embrace. "Oh, these are MAG lights," Bill said sensing that Janice was in turmoil. "Over the years I have found that quality often times has long term benefits. For instance, I would probably purchase fifteen $3.98 flashlights during the time I have owned these MAG lights." Both of them had been scanning for storm damage but neither had seen anything obvious. They had rounded the corner of the house when the stiff breeze was cut off. "I didn't realize the wind had such a sting to it." Janice said, "Damn, that's not what I wanted to say but it's a start. Bill, thank you for being patient with me. Your hug and kiss knocked me for a loop. I still haven't recovered." "You're welcome, Janice." Bill said with complete sincerity, "Can we continue this in a warmer climate? I'm afraid that I'm feeling the sting a bit too much." "Yes, of course." Walking quickly around the rest of the house Bill and Janice were soon back in the kitchen. They didn't remove their coats but went immediately to the fireplace. After several minutes they removed their coats which Janice hung in the entry closet. "Janice would you get the meds bottle from the right breast pocket, please?" "You're not — " "No, I'm not." Bill said interrupting Janice, "In fact, for the past month I've been on a regular schedule." "Oh Bill, I'm happy for you." "But the VA wasn't so happy. They wanted to lower the dose. But when they saw the improved motion and reduced inflammation they were forced to leave the dosage at 30mg. They got even though. I now have blood work every six months for liver studies." "Good on them and especially good on you." Janice said handing Bill the meds bottle. "Would you like a cup of coffee as well." "Maybe a shower after the coffee will take away the rest of the chill." "That might be a good idea." Janice said as they walked over to the kitchen. Janice went to turn on the coffee she had prepared prior to their walk about so she could hide the Cheshire cat grin on her face. 'I couldn't have come with a better opening for getting that man into the pool', Janice said to herself. Sitting at the table Bill took his meds and waited for Janice to return with the coffee. When she brought the coffee Bill said, "Do you come here often enough to get mail?" "No, I don't. Why?" "Well, there is an official looking envelope on the window sill that's addressed to you at this address." Reaching across the table Janice picked up the envelope only to discover another behind it. The official looking one had the return address of the county clerk. Tearing the envelope open Janice pulled out two sheets of paper. One was a letter, the other looked to be on parchment. Scanning the letter Janice dropped it on the table and carefully unfolded the other smoothing it out flat. Picking up the letter again Janice slowly read each word. Dropping the letter again Janice sat there stunned. "This is too much! There is no way! I'm going to nail those two to the back wall of the garage." Janice shouted. "I take it that there is a problem?" "Ted and Alice gave me this property! Forever and transferable to my heirs. What am I going to do?" "This may sound stupid but you use it just like you are now." "I can't take this. I haven't earned it." "Looking at the deed I would say that somebody thinks you have. Why not see what the other envelope can shed any light on the situation." Janice tore open the other envelope and scanned the single sheet within. "I don't believe this. Those two have gone absolutely mad." Picking up the letter Bill asked, "May I?" "Go ahead. See if it makes any sense to you." After reading the letter Bill slowly put it down. "Well?" Janice demanded. "It appears that you are now landed gentry and have the income to maintain the property in pristine condition." "Bill, for Pete's sake. I don't deserve this. I haven't earned it or paid for it." "I suggest that you take my place in line for a warm shower. Maybe you should make yours a cold shower." Stunned Janice just sat there. "Oh Bill, I'm sorry. Here I sit spitting venom all over the place and you with a chill that will get worse even with your meds. Instead of a shower I suggest a warm refreshing swim. Don't argue, investigate the other side of the sliding glass doors. I'm going to relieve myself, have a good two minute cry and then join you." Having said her piece Janice got up and went into the master bedroom. 'Well', Bill thought to himself, 'I've been given my marching orders so I might as well obey them'. Standing up Bill walked around the table to the sliding glass doors. Seeing the display he paused to read it. 'Water Temp - 72°'. Hitting the light switch under the display Bill slid the panel open and stepped into a 30' by 50' sun room. The main attraction was a 16' by 32' swimming pool. "I'll be damned!" Bill said, "That woman laid her plans well but got trumped herself." As he took the two steps down onto the deck surface Bill started to remove his clothing. Approaching a chaise lounge he sat down and rapidly chucked the remaining items. Taking the steps down into the water Bill felt his body accept its warmth. When he hit bottom Bill glided forward and began a slow measured crawl to the far end. On the back lap he went into a side stroke. There second lap consisted of a back stroke on the down side and a breast stroke on the up side. Bill was floating quietly when Janice saw him through the glass panel. "Damn that man! Just looking at him makes my blood boil," Janice said out loud, "Cool your jets before you make an ass of yourself and tell him how you feel." Bill didn't see or hear Janice as she slid the panel open and then close it. Crossing to the chaise Janice dropped the second robe she carried beside Bill's clothes. She silently approached the steps leading into the pool. Then with a shrug of her shoulders the garment slid down her arms and threatened to fall in a heap. Janice caught it with one hand. The robe acted as a train but no gown could compete with the beautiful body on display for the man that had barged into her life — body, mind, and soul. Bill sensed someone was near the pool. Slowly he stood and looked toward the house. The vision he saw made him speak, "Oh my goodness!" "Don't toy with me, William Haggen!" "I'm not! I'm giving voice to an honest feeling. This man is getting used to seeing perfection on two legs when she goes and improves on it." "I don't know whether to spit venom at you or say thank you for the genuine compliment." "Come into the pool and let the water soothe you Jan " — Bill stopped mid-word. No, Janice is your Christian name. The name preferred is Teresa - T E R E S A and the nickname your friends used was Teri - T E R I." "Damn you, William Haggen. Stop reading my mail. I Haven't used those names in years. Have you been snooping?" "No, I haven't been snooping. Those names and their spelling were just force fed into my mind." Suddenly Bill found Janice in his arms, crying on his shoulder. I'm so sorry, Bill. I think I have one aspect of you figured out and you pull a side slip and come up with information from I don't know where." "Want to tell me about it?" "Oh hell! William Haggen, I have done something very silly and very stupid." "And what is that?" "I'm gah-gah over you. I feel twenty something when I'm around you. I have no right to screw up your life like that. I see your nude body and it's difficult to contain the lust that flows through my blood. Our intellects stimulate each other - even when we agree to disagree. My spirit rejoices when we sit in the rockers in your apartment and don't say a word. I wake up in the middle of the night reaching out for you." "Then we shall suffer together." Janice's head snapped up, "What did you just say?" "Let me rephrase." Bill began, "I am totally in love with you — body, mind, and soul. Add to the list you started with not calling you with interesting asides because it would have ruined your concentration. There are several more that I could cite. This evening was the first time I greeted you the way I desired. I've wanted to do that since the day you showed up to confront me." "You didn't say a word." "Not wanting to saddle you with my physical and mental handicaps made it somewhat easier to mask my inner turmoil. You, I think, were having your own battle." "You weren't going to allow me a vote?" "Were you?" "Touché! So what are we, I repeat we, going to do about it?" "When I see Harry again I'm going to say thank you." "Just what does that old sea goat have to do with this?" "When you took a potty break he asked me point blank if my intentions towards you were honorable." "Oh he did, did he?" "You have no beef with Harry. Look at where we are now. We have admitted our love for each other." "What is to be done?" "I am going to do what my body, mind, and soul want me to do." "And that is?" "Love you Teri, if I am permitted to use that name." Janice's body started to shiver and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Damn you and your word pictures." Circling her arms around Bill's neck she spoke softly, "I am going to love you as my body, mind, and soul want me to." "Then we shall have numerous opportunities to thank our higher power for the miracle granted us." "I agree! Take me to bed and make love with me." "No, I want to take advantage of the moment. I have never had hot, lusty sex in a swimming pool with you Teri. Then I want us to dry off, take you into your master bedroom and make passionate love with you." "Bill, from now on please call me Teri. I like the sound of it as it rolls off your lips." Just then Teri's knees gave way. "Let go and float." Bill said, "I'll be here to help you." Teri let go. Instinctively she trusted this man who barged into her life brief months ago. Bill's arm supported her neck. His free hand began a sensual massage of her breasts. That hand slid down over her stomach and cupped her baby smooth pussy. Her hips started to rock as if they had a life of their own. Teri said to Bill, "Take me to the wall so I can support myself and then fuck me until we both cum." "Your command is my wish." Slowly Bill floated Teri to the wall. After trying out the low ledge she made Bill raise her up so that her arms were on the main lip. "Much better. Now you can suck on my breasts while you fuck my pussy." Bill moved to position himself between Teri's parted thighs. Teri, using her abs, raised her pussy to the correct angle for Bill to easily insert his cock. Taking a half step forward he fed half his length into Teri's twitching tunnel. Instinctively Teri brought her legs around behind her lover. She wanted all of him and was impatient. Bill understood the movement and taking the last half step impaled himself completely. Flexing his shaft several times he watched Teri's eyes light up. "Start slow Bill, I want to feel every inch of you." "I like to feel you as well." The waltz of the sexes began in earnest. Bill would flex his shaft as he withdrew and Teri would constrict her muscles when Bill would slide back in. Teri also used her legs to drag Bill forward and release the pressure when he withdrew. Bill felt the change and after withdrawing half-way slammed himself back in. When the tip of his cock made contact with Teri's cervix Bill's orgasm crested. "Here it comes Teri." Bill shouted as his groin crashed against Teri's pubic mound. "Oh my God! You sneak!" Teri shrieked as her own orgasm thundered through her, "Where did you learn that trick?" Bill wanted to push ever further into Teri and Teri tried to pull Bill deeper inside. To say their orgasms were intense would have been an understatement. Teri's pussy had a vacuum lock on Bill's cock while Bill had no control over the spurting giant. Each time his shaft contracted more cum forced its way into Teri's full tunnel. Teri's pelvis was a blur of circles wanting to receive its share of the bonanza and distribute it to every inch of her pussy. Bill knew he had finished his orgasm but didn't want to dismount from his lover. Teri wouldn't let Bill dismount. Her legs were locked behind Bill's buttocks. Her own orgasm was much slower in its recession. "Oh Bill," Teri said finally regaining her voice, "I have never experienced such as orgasm. You weren't able to warn me, were you? Don't answer, I can see that you were just as surprised as I was. You kept cuming and cuming. Oh look!" Teri pointed to the water between them. Rising to the surface of the pool was the physical evidence of the immense orgasm they shared. Bill was astonished by the intensity and the quantity of his orgasm. In all his years of sexual relations he had never had an orgasm such as this one. What surprised him even more was the fact that he was still hard. "Teri," Bill said letting his embarrassment show, "I would have warned you but it happened so quickly I couldn't. Then there was so much cum that I was shocked." "Oh love, don't be embarrassed. I enjoyed every pulse of your beautiful cock. Besides I have had a personal experience with what a plumber calls 'water hammer'." "Thank you for letting me have the time to regain my balance, Teri." Bill said softly. Teri's eyes went wide with surprise. "My God, you're still hard and hot." Flexing his shaft Bill said, "Want to try a different position?" With a loud laugh and lewd grin Teri responded, "Let's go over by the steps and see what happens." When Bill dismounted Teri slipped her arms off the pool edge and stood up. Bill took a look at Teri's arms to see if there were any bruises or scrapes. He didn't want to injure this beautiful woman standing by his side. As they waded towards the steps Bill reached out and stroked Teri's buttocks. Teri shivered in response to the caress. Teri planted her feet in front of the bottom step, bent forward, and supported herself on the top step. Bill was directly behind her and using one hand he guided his cock to the entrance of Teri's pussy. His other hand grasped her hip bone. He surged forward entering Teri with a single, savage thrust. "Oh yes! You feel so different in this position. My lusty stud is in full command and I think he enjoys it." Just then Teri's pussy locked down around the shaft filling her to capacity. She felt thrills going through her body that were new to her. Her breasts moving through the water were stimulated differently. New sensations attacked her pulsating pussy. Teri moved one hand to the top of her pussy and began stroking her clitoris. She went off like a bomb. Bill felt the change but the water prevented any increase in the speed of his thrusts. Bill's cock mushroomed inside Teri and his balls were sucked up into his groin. Bill had his second orgasm of the night. The shouts, groans, and endearments filled the pool enclosure. They slowly decreased in volume as the intensity faded. Bill staggered back from Teri, turned around, and sank down on the top step. Teri somehow found the energy to do the same. Slowly they both regained their breath while bodies calmed down from the tremors. "Bill," Teri said, "did you slip a Viagra in when you took your meds?" "No." Bill said looking into the water, "It would appear that my open declaration of love has broken a barrier. I for one am enjoying it. Besides it's no different than the steam rising from the water in front of you." Teri looked down into the water between her legs. Laughing she said, "Oh you! Do you feel strong enough to swim a few laps with me?" They rose from the steps and started a slow lap down the pool. Bill was using a back stroke on the return lap when Teri disappeared under the water. She came up coughing and sputtering. Rippling Water Ch. 02 "Please swim with that thing pointed down. I saw images of sexual positions and damn near drowned." "Watching the sun set or the moon rise hasn't helped the softening process." "We're acting like a couple of twenty-something's, aren't we?" "I rather like the feeling and hope that it lasts a long time." Bill moved so he was behind Teri and began to softly stroke her neck and shoulders. Leaning down slightly he kissed her neck and said, "Janice Teresa Whitman, I love you." Teri turned around and hugged Bill fiercely. Bill felt the tears and heard the soft sobs. He said nothing. Teri finally raised her head and said, "Thank you, Bill. The sound of my full name and the love behind it was too much. I was overwhelmed by the depth and sincerity that I started crying." "You're welcome." Bill said, his voice thick with emotion. Teri flinched at the roughness of Bill's voice. She took a step back and saw his face instead of looking at it. Silent tears streamed down his face onto his chest. Tenderly Teri wiped them away from his mouth. Bill made no move to stop her. "I never dared to hope that such love would enter my life. So when you literally barged into my life all hell broke loose." Tenderness and compassion filled her voice as Teri said, "She hurt you badly, didn't she?" "Puppy love and its death can be traumatic to the uninitiated." "Was it really puppy love?" "Yes, it was. The scarring was in place when less than a year later I was introduced to Vietnam." Nothing was said for several long minutes. They stood embracing each other while the warm water soothed them. Finally Teri shook her head saying, "Just look at the two of us. We've swum in a heated pool, left copious quantities of our cum after enjoying lust driven sex and here we stand crying. Let's liven up this celebration with a cup of coffee and a cigarette." "Hear! Hear!" was Bill's laughing response. Together as one Bill and Teri waded to the steps and rose out of the pool. Bill picked up Teri's robe and assisted her putting it on. Going to the chaise he put on the robe he found. Teri had come over was neatly folding his clothes. Bill finished tying his robe and bent over to pick up his shoes and socks. Teri's attack was swift and her aim was accurate. Bill's reaction was not what Teri expected. Instead of standing up and yelping he trapped the digit invading his rectum by clinching his muscle, pushing back and wiggling his butt. It was Teri who yelped and started laughing. "My God, you're queer for fingers." "Not at all." Bill said as he looked over his shoulder, a big smile on his face. "Just telling the lady I love how much I enjoy her touching me. No matter where she touches me." "You make me laugh, you make me cry. Your intellect challenges me. The unconditional love and support still scares me. Your lust equals mine. I love you, William Haggen." "Let us celebrate with that cup of coffee and a cigarette." Gathering up the forgotten clothes, shoes and socks they walked into the house. "Let me put the clothes and stuff in our master bedroom while you rummage up the coffee. I'll bring back the smokes." Teri went off on her errand while Bill raided the kitchen. He found everything but the coffee grounds. "Teri, I can't find the coffee grounds." Bill shouted. "Try the freezer," came Teri's soft reply. Startled Bill turned around swiftly and was crouching down. "I'm sorry, Bill. I didn't mean to scare you." "Apology accepted. You are a feline sneaking up on me like that." Teri's response was a mixture of purr, meow, and a growl. She finished by raising a hand and licking it as though it were a paw. "Now, why are coffee grounds kept in the freezer?" "The best place to store coffee beans is in the freezer. They stay fresh longer and the aroma is released when they are ground up. The grinder is next to the coffee pot. Oh hell, one demonstration. The next time you are on your own." Bill watched closely. He had never made coffee from fresh beans before. When he had seen enough Bill transferred his attention to the beautiful and wonderful woman standing in front of him. His hands glided around her waist while his mouth descended to Teri's neck. The kisses distracted Teri enough so she didn't feel her robe being untied. When Bill's hands began a sensual massage of her breasts Teri's body flared into full passion. Bill continued to kiss Teri's neck. Shifting to her ear lobe he began to tease it with his tongue and nibble at it with his mouth. Breaking contact Bill, his voice filled with passion, said, "I want you." "Then you shall have me." As Teri took a step Bill slid her robe off her shoulders. Teri turned to face Bill. She kissed him while untying his robe. Sliding her hands up his chest Teri parted the robe and forced it off Bill's shoulders. When the robe hit the floors Teri took his hand and led Bill into their bedroom. When Teri would have lay down on the bed Bill stopped her. "Stretch your arms over your head," he said, "then spread your legs open for me." Teri willingly complied. She felt Bill's fingers massage her scalp through her auburn hair. Hands and fingers caressed her face, neck and throat. Suddenly the touch was gone. It began again at her finger tips down her palms, wrists and lower arms. It traveled smoothly across the insides of her elbows down the backs of her upper arms only to appear again at the insteps of her feet. Teri couldn't stop her voice from shouting, "AIYE! I'm flowing like a leaky faucet." There was no response but the touch disappeared. Teri felt it again on the insides of her knees. It swept up her inner thighs collecting her nectar as it went. Just short of her vulva it disappeared. Bill's voice commanded Teri to open her eyes. She did and saw Bill's left hand mere inches from her face. "Taste your passion." the strange voice said. Teri's tongue leapt from her mouth, flattened itself against the heal of Bill's hand, and licked up across his palm. Her mouth, almost acting by itself, sucked each finger as if it were a miniature cock. The hand was removed but Bill's voice told Teri to turn her head to the right. Teri watched as Bill's face came into view. His right hand followed and Bill repeated Teri's movements of licking and sucking. Every nerve ending cried out to receive its share of the touch. Suddenly the touch was back at Teri's knees rising up to collect more of her nectar. This time the touch didn't stop short of her vulva but swept across as individual hands. Teri felt the absence of the touch. Then it was there again. This time the touch was massaging her nectar into her breasts. "Bill," Teri said as her hands covered his, "Have mercy! I'm coming apart at the seams from over stimulation. "lay down and I will give you completion and rest." Teri lay down. Bill sat on the bed beside her softly stroking the side of her face. One finger entered her vagina. The tip curled into a semi-hook and stroked the roof of Teri's most private place. Teri screamed once and fainted. Bill got up and walked into the bathroom. He took a towel from the rack and found fresh sheets in the linen closet. Returning to the bed he folded the towel and by rolling Teri over on her side was able to put the towel under Teri's hips. He stripped and remade the bed one half at a time. Checking Teri's breathing Bill gave a sigh of relief. Getting more supplies from the bathroom Bill gave Teri a sponge bath. When he was finished Bill put a fresh towel under Teri's thighs. Covering her up with sheet and blanket Bill silently left the room turning out the lights as he went. Going to the kitchen Bill raided the frig and made a light meal for two. Finding a bed tray he set it up for Teri. When she awoke she would need something to eat and drink. Finishing his own meal Bill located his coat and removed a caplet from the medication bottle. Picking up his coffee Bill settled down in the easy chair by the fireplace, took the medication, and nursed the hot coffee. When Bill heard Teri's soft call he was glad that his internal perceptions had rigged themselves on high alert. "Coming. Teri." Bill said rising from the easy chair. Filling Teri's cup with hot coffee he placed it on the tray. Carefully picking the tray up Bill walked to the bedroom. Teri was in a semi-upright position. She had stuffed pillows against the headboard and pulled the covers up over her breasts and securing the by trapping them with her arms. Teri's hand were folded into her lap. Before Teri could say anything Bill said, Before we talk you need to relieve yourself and then eat. You can ask your questions while drinking this fresh coffee." "I'm not going to yell and scream or beat you severely but I would like an explanation," Teri replied. Bill just pointed toward the bathroom. Teri nodded her head and carefully removed her covers. When she stood and walked to the bathroom it was with a measured step. "Oh good grief," was plainly heard. When Teri came back into the bedroom Bill handed her a soft terry cloth robe. "You'll need this for warmth." Teri started to say something but stopped when her body began to shiver. She meekly put the robe on and got back into bed. "Slide over towards the middle. I haven't found the vacuum cleaner yet." Teri settled into a new position and Bill carefully placed the bed tray within easy reach. "Be right back, I didn't bring my coffee." Bill said over his shoulder as he walked toward the kitchen. Teri was eating when Bill returned. "How is the food?" Teri looked up then said, "Unusually tasty." "You had a problem when you relieved yourself earlier. When you walked to the bathroom the bottoms of your feet felt like they had been on a forty mile hike. Diagnosis, over stimulation of every nerve ending. Prognosis, full recovery with 48 hours." "I can't — "stop it from happening. You can minimize it by sleeping and resting. Now, enough exercise. Snuggle down and get comfortable." "My robe will bunch up!" Bill stood up removed the tray and uncovered Teri. "I'll pull the robe down as you move." Bill said as he grabbed the hem of Teri's robe. Teri was crying by the time she made it into a comfortable position. "No talking." Bill said blotting the tears away with tissue, "Sleep and Rest." He silently rose, picked up the tray, and flicked the lights out as he left the bedroom. Rippling Water Ch. 03 Teri (aka Janice) awoke with a start. Throwing off the covers she dashed into the bathroom. Shedding the robe Teri sat on the toilet just in time. After relieving herself she took a refreshing shower. Awake and alert she realized that there was no twitching. Dressing in the clothes she had worn on the trip down last night Teri went in search of her mystery man. She found him after she found the coffee and cinnamon buns. Bill was asleep on the couch but not flat out like most nappers. He lay on his side and his back. 'So that's how he does it', Teri said to herself. Sitting on the floor Teri assumed a lotus position, slowly drank her coffee and watched the man who had become her lover. When Bill lay down he set his internal alarm clock. It went off and he awoke slowly. He didn't stretch but Teri watched as each muscle group flexed and relaxed. Bill slowly opened his eyes. Then he got a big smile on his face. "Such a beautiful sight to wake up to," he said looking directly at Teri. Teri blushed, right up to the roots of her auburn hair. She was still unaccustomed to receiving such open compliments. "How long have you been sitting there watching me?" Bill continued. Looking down at her empty cup Teri said, "A full cup of coffee." "And a sticky bun," Bill add pointing to the right side of his mouth. "I'm hungry. Are you going to fix some breakfast for me?" "Will brunch at Harry's be alright? I don't want to burn the house down." "I accept!" Teri chirped. Bill sat up and then stood up. Extending a hand to Teri he said, "May I help you?" "Testing me?" "No, just trying to be a gentleman to the woman I am in love with." Teri accepted the offered hand and allowed Bill to pull her to her feet. "I apologize." "None needed. So, do we throw open the front door wide open or sneak out the back?" "Let's be crafty and sneak out the back." Teri replied with a sly smile. Bill went to the entry closet and extracted their coats. After shrugging into his Bill assisted Teri with hers. When they got to the garage the door was already open. Bill disabled the alarm and opened the passenger door for Teri. Bill had backed and was pointed toward the fence when he realized that he wouldn't be able to open the gate. Teri came to his rescue by saying, "You don't need the card to get out. There is an imbedded strip that will activate the gate." "But the gate closed last night." Bill questioned. "Had you rolled forward the gate would have stayed open. The same type strip is on the outside of the fence." Teri replied. They drove off to get food. Walking into the restaurant they were greeted by Harry. "You two here for my morning after special?" "Yes, you old goat. I'll have tomato juice for me. How about you Bill, orange or tomato?" Teri answered. "Tomato juice, please." Bill said. "Mind if I join you?" Harry asked. "I'm not giving you the option." Teri replied tartly. "Did I do something to offend you?" Harry asked raising an eyebrow. "That is something I'm going to find out." was Teri's curt answer. Harry started towards his favorite booth when Bill said, "Yes Admiral, you will join us at table." Harry did an abrupt 180 and stared at Bill. "Where did I screw up?" Teri stood by Bill and was laughing her head off. "Harold K. Whitman, Admiral, United States Navy, Retired. Harry, that's you." "How did you get that information, Bill?" Harry asked in a command voice. Bill didn't answer but turned to fix a stare on Teri. "And you Janice Teresa Whitman are sneaky. An old family friend indeed. What you left out was the minor detail of this old sea goat being your father." Teri, still laughing approached Harry and gave him a healthy hug and kiss. "You didn't NIS me, did you girl?" "No dad, Bill gets these special G-grams now and again. He sank my rubber ducky just as he did yours." Harry stood there searching Bill's figure, face, and then his eyes. He started laughing. "I'll bet that you're one of those GD Yeoman. Yeah, you got the cut of one." "Guilty, Admiral." was Bill's answer. "Dad, Bill," Teri interrupted, "Andy has given the high sign twice. Our brunch is getting cold." Andy appeared in the doorway with a heavy tray. As he got closer he said, "Hello Janice." and kissed her on the cheek. So they sat and had porridge, toast, juice and coffee. Andy was drinking tea. "Don't know how you Yanks can drink that bilge water. Tastes like dirty socks. Harry was silent for a moment. "Bill, give me a brief account of you military history. Something doesn't add up." "Okay Harry, Andrew and especially you Teri, my love. USNR 63-69, US Army 75-80, and US Navy 81-88. "So they added insult to injury!" "My God, Bill." Teri squeaked, "You told me about your injuries and disabilities but I never put two and two together." Harry blurted out, "You weren't a yeoman in the sixties. What was your rating?" "I was a Radarman in CIC." "And in the Army?" "Infantryman, 11B." "So it wasn't until the 80's that you became a yeoman?" "Correct?" "You retired?" "No, medical discharge." "So they threw the baby out with the bath water." "That's the polite way of saying it." Teri chose to enter the lop-sided conversation at that point, "Dad, what's going on in that Admiral mind of yours?" Harry scanned the faces of the other people at the table. "Teri, honey, right now I don't know myself." Looking at Bill Harry said, "Bill, I would like your permission to do some snooping on both sides of the fence. You got any paperwork?" "The only official paperwork I have left is four bad copies of my DD214's." "Can you fax them to me Monday morning?" "Yes, but I'll have to find a place to fax them from." "Bill," Teri said, "I could fax them from my office." The slight hunch of Bill's shoulder's told Harry and Andy that this was a minefield waiting to blow up in Bill's face. Before Bill could step on one Harry said, "Sweetheart, daughter of mine, I think Bill needs to make this particular step in person." Bill picked up on the save and added, "Teri, you know my body, mind, and soul. Now I ask you for your trust in letting me take this step alone." Teri turned to the man that had captured her heart and every other part of her. "Bill, you know my body, mind, and soul. I willingly withdraw my offer of assistance with no regrets. I do trust you completely and when you are ready you will provide the explanation I can understand." "Janice," said Andy, "can I have your permission to call you by my favorite name for you?" "Andy, you may call me Teri until the end of time without restriction or qualification." "Bless you, lassie! Bless you! Now scoot, the both of you. Your Da and I have a dinner rush coming. Stop out back before you disappear. I have some meals to tide you over until you must return to civilization." Rising from the table Andy extended a hand to Bill. "William Haggen, it is an honor to meet you." Bill stood up and grasped Andy's hand. "It is an honor to meet you Sir Andrew Ian Smythe-Jones, Admiral, Her Majesty's Royal Navy, Retired." Andy walked to the kitchen shaking his head. Harry had gotten up from the table and was waiting for Teri. "Give me a hug and a kiss, girl. Then go get Andy's gift. Oh, you both are invited to 1000 hours brunch. The 'gang' will be here and you can nail us all." Turning to Bill Harry said, "It is a pleasure to meet you formally and informally." "Thank you, Harry." Bill replied, "I'll have those papers to you early Monday." Teri and Bill had received Andy's gift and departed for the house. Harry and Andy prepared for the dinner rush. While they did the questions flowed back and forth. Harry asked Andy, "What did you hear Andrew? How bad is Bill?" Andy replied, "Classic case of PTSD. The Army didn't or couldn't do something so Bill got out. The Navy screwed up and gave him a medical discharge. Bill has one strong spirit to withstand blows like that." Harry looked at Andy and said, "Do you feel that this is the case to present to all our networks? Do we go for the jugular or just pull a lot of short hairs?" Andy replied as he rubbed his chin replied, "Alert the three primaries. They can call an APB if needed. We go for both the short hairs and the jugular this time. If Bill's case is typical and not atypical then we put in on the top of the stack. We can't bring the system down but we have the evidence to make them change it." "I feel you're wrong on one point Andrew." Harry said, "I keep getting the image of suicide but it is not connected to the military directly." "Okay Harry," Andy said, "After we close tonight I'll call my three in the UK. If that man doesn't have blood on my side of the pond then I'm not the judge of men I thought I was." "Andy, I got to sit for a minute." Harry said, "The name Haggen is false. There is a French feel and Welsh/Scottish overtones to the image I'm getting. Griffith is the Welsh side but the Scottish is too murky. Ah, Picard in Normandy. One more — Alsace-Lorraine and yes, there it is Bouchet." "I've watched it happen hundreds of times but I still don't know how you do it." Andy said indicating the manner in which Harry received such vital information. Harry rose from his seat saying, "Make the alert to the primaries code red. This is the one we have been waiting for. The results will be very good and Bill and Teri will have much to be happy about. I'm calling my three primaries now. This can't wait until tomorrow. I know Andrew, the time. Not the middle of the night but damn early in the morning." Teri and Bill were back at the house and had put Andy's food gift away. "Bill," Teri said, "you look kind of tense. Why don't you take a nice relaxing swim? I've got to check out a few things." Bill turned to Teri and stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. Then he leaned forward and kissed the tip of her nose. Thank you, sweetheart. Please join me for a swim when you finish up." Bill turned away and began to strip off his clothes as he made his way to the bedroom. "Teri, is there a washer and dryer here? The thought crossed my mind that we could do our laundry here since the time is free." "That's an excellent idea, love." Teri replied, "There is a utility room off to the side of the pool. I'll strip down so you can start the load before you take your swim. There should be soap and fabric sheets on the shelf." Teri sat down at the table so she could remove her shoes. Bill had finished undressing and put on the robe he was using. Picking up his dirty clothes Bill entered the living room just as Teri removed her shirt. Bill leaned up against the doorframe to watch. Grasping the front panels of the shirt Teri peeled them back over her shoulders and let the shirt slide down slender well-toned arms to land in a puddle on the floor. Hands reached up between Teri's breasts and unsnapped the front closing bra. Slender fingers hooked the inside edge of the cups and drew them away from her breasts before pulling them apart. The motion continued until the straps slipped off her shoulders. Teri let go of the cups allowing the bra to join the shirt on the floor. Bill continued watching as Teri brought her hands up to caress her now nude miniature mountains. It was obvious to Bill that Teri enjoyed the task of undressing. After giving a gentle tweak to her nipples Teri slid hands down over her abdomen to loosen the belt at her waist. That done she gave a practiced flick to the button securing the waistband of the wool slacks covering her bottom half. While one hand slid the zipper down the other hand pulled the waistband away from her side and began edging it down over a shapely hip. With the zipper completely down that hand began the same motion to the other side of Teri's waistband. Using a seesaw motion Teri soon had the wool slacks below her hips. She stopped the seesaw motion and with a little wiggle sent the slacks sliding down long lean legs to join the other garments on the floor. Just as her hands slid under the waistband of her panties Bill said, "Do you always undress with such simple elegance?" Startled Teri thumped down to the chair behind her. "I enjoy being naked." "Ah, our first difference of opinion." Bill replied. "Oh, and that is?" Teri asked looking at Bill. "Naked implies to me the turning over of a rock to expose the insects and grubs underneath. While nude implies the revealing of form and beauty." "Oh my!" Teri squealed as she felt her pussy convulse. Without looking Teri knew there was a big wet spot forming in the crotch of her panties. "Thank you, Teri." Bill said as he watched the color of Teri's panties change. "For what, you evil man." Teri replied. "I was about to compliment your choice of that shade of green when you subtlety added a darker shade further enhancing your auburn hair." The flow of nectar increased with Bill's comments. "Get out of here before I ruin the carpet. Oh, you warlock! The timbre of your voice and the word pictures you create are how you seduce me. Oh God! Bill, leave!" "Give me your clothes and I shall remove myself from your presence, dear lady." Teri bent down to scoop up her clothing. As she did her scent made itself obvious. Sitting Teri threw the clothing at Bill. "Leave!" "But your socks and panties?" Instantly Teri bent over and removed her socks. Holding them in her hands she stood and quickly drew the now wet panties down her legs. Throwing the socks at Bill Teri then flicked the panties at him using her foot. "Now go!" Bill caught the panties and brought them to his nose. Inhaling deeply and then exhaling he said, "True ambrosia!" Teri stared at Bill her eyes filled with tears of joy. "You are impossible!" Then her whole body shook as the orgasm struck her core. "AAIIYYEE!" Teri sank on to the chair. "I just had a wonderful orgasm and you didn't touch me." "Shall I go have my swim now?" "Please!" Bill walked to the door, slid it open and after stepping out closed it behind him. Turning around Bill witnessed Teri massaging her nectar into every part that she could reach. She shook with ecstasy. Teri finally gained some control over her body. Standing up she walked into the bathroom and took a long refreshing shower. Dressed in her robe Teri went to the closet and looked for the items she wanted to give to her devil man. Opening a drawer Teri found what she sought. Mag card for the gate, garage door opener, and two sets of keys to all the various outbuildings and the house. Closing the closet Teri took the items and walking back to the dining table she set them down in a neat row. A big smile crossed her face as Teri said aloud to no one, "Let's see what kind of deviltry I can get into with Bill." Stepping towards the door to the pool Teri untied her robe allowing it to flow out behind her as she walked. Bill by swimming the length of the pool several times was able to reduce his level of anxiety over giving Harry and Andy permission to snoop into his past. He now felt at ease. His inner self realized that to progress the cleansing was necessary regardless of the outcome. Bill wanted to be as complete a man as he could be not only for himself but also for the lady that had captured his entire body. The erection gained as he watched Teri undress was not reduced by his thoughts or the warm, soothing water of the pool. Ending a down lap Bill saw Teri come into the pool building. Instead of starting a new lap he stood by the wall shielding his erection. Teri took the two steps down onto the pool deck. Seeing Bill watching her Teri slowly removed her robe. Instead of dropping it she let it trail out behind her as she walked towards the man. Bill seeing Teri's tender smile moved to the steps and climbed out to meet Teri. His man hood preceded him waving up and down as if greeting Teri in its own right. "I'm glad to see that you are not impervious to my many charms." "The level of my stress nor the warm, soothing water could reduce the hard-on gained while watching you disrobe in the dining area." "You hid the man in you quite well." "The clothes I was holding was the only reason you didn't see my obvious interest." "Yet you chose not to share." "What I saw as I closed the door verified my choice. You were sharing something special and personal with someone not there." "Let us attend to the washer and then have our swim." "Do not rush your explanation. Let it happen in its own time." "Thank you, my dear friend." "Bill, how do you know about Dad and Andy?" "Andy and your Dad fought lots of battles in their respective services." Bill said, "They were attempting to get better equality for all men and women in the service and for all veterans. They had too much political clout for the big wigs to fire them so they tried to minimize the changes they sought. Word gets around in any branch of service especially when it affects morale, pay, and benefits." By the time Bill had answered Teri's question their clothes had been transferred from the washer to the dryer. After pushing the start button on the dryer Bill said, "Shall we take our swim now?" "Yes!" Teri said extending a hand toward Bill. Bill took the offered hand and led Teri to the pool steps. Teri dropped her robe as they neared the steps. Still holding hands Teri and Bill descended into the warm water and floated toward the far end of the pool. Some thirty minutes later the silence was broken by the sound of the dryer buzzer going off.
