LLP-247 The Family Reunion Book II by Grace Wilkinson Chapter 1 "How could I have done it?" Carrie Livingston awoke with a delicious sensation in her loins ... that feeling that she had felt often before when as a young woman she had indulged herself with indefatigable lovers. This time however, she knew that it was not a question of some young man she had spent a pleasant afternoon with, but rather something much more serious ... something she could hardly even admit to herself this morning. It had been with her own son-in-law! Beside her, her husband John lay, snoring deeply in sleep. Carrie shifted her voluptuously formed body beneath the silk sheets. She looked over at her husband's craggy, handsome features. A terrible feeling of guilt swept over her as she realized that John hadn't an inkling of an idea just how far she had gone in her search for reassurance that she was still attractive to younger men. "It's only because I was feeling so blue ..." she thought, staring up at the mirrored ceiling she'd recently had installed. "That's why it all started ... once I let Ike do that to me on the porch ... it was only a question of time before I did something even more perverted!" The smoky mirror on the ceiling reflected the image of a glamourous woman of uncertain years. Carrie's beautiful features and shining pale blonde hair had withstood the years with considerable grace, and even though she was a grandmother, many would never have guessed it. But she had been feeling more and more upset recently about growing older, that was one of the reasons she had persuaded John to let her redecorate their bedroom in the big house of their popular mountain resort. She had chosen a theme dear to her heart, and by the time she was finished the large bedroom with its two bathrooms would have done credit to the most finicky of Hollywood movie stars. It was "30's" posh, complete with circular bed, shaggy white rugs, smoked glass mirrors of a hazy blue tint on both the walls and the ceilings. There were several chaises with low accompanying cocktail tables, and a well-stocked bar. As for the bathroom that Carrie called her own, she had installed a large sunken tub of an octagonal shape choosing ornate lions heads for the spouting faucets. Carrie had hoped that this, in addition to the new wardrobe she had purchased, would make her happy. But she found that it only accentuated the feeling of loneliness she had. In spite of her love for John, she still felt a need for something more exciting in her life. She knew that John thought her ideas were ridiculous, but he nevertheless went along with her ... even when she had shown up at the first family dinner in that Marlene Dietrich see-through gown! She'd spent a lot of money having a dressmaker copy it for her ... and the festive dinner had seemed to her just the occasion to wear it, even if it was a little daring! End of Page 1.
