Jake cooked a couple of steaks and fries while Kirsty spoke to her mum and Alan. She was on the phone for quite a while, but he didn’t mind, communication is important. As she sat down to dinner, he poured her a glass of wine. “Everything okay?” he asked her.
“Yes, just got a few things sorted,” she told him, sounding relieved.
Jake didn’t pry. He let her talk in her own good time. “Mum is coming up on the train on Wednesday,” she told him. “We’ll take her back with us, if that’s okay.”
“Fine by me.”
“We talked about you and us.”
“Oh?”
“Who was going to sleep with you and when.”
“And?”
“We have decided to leave it up to you. Both of us want you and can’t agree on who or when, so we are leaving it up to you.”
“I don’t really want to be in that position,” he told her. “Either way It’s going to hurt one of you. Best if she doesn’t come, hey?”
Kirsty shook her head. “No, we have agreed. The choice should be yours. Mum is quite happy to sleep on her own during her stay, and I’ve agreed to do the same, if you prefer her.”
“How about we leave things as they are. I came up here to stay with you with a task in mind. Let’s keep it like that.”
Kirsty smiled. He could see that she was pleased with his decision.
“But when we get back, I am going to spend the weekend with your mum, and you can spend yours with Alan. He has missed you too, and he is your husband!”
Kirsty nodded her agreement. “Will you be coming over for Sunday lunch with her – it’s my turn to be host?”
“I don’t see why not. It’s about time I sampled more of your cooking.”
“Ha! Mum taught me well.”
“Well, I hope so. A man should settle down with someone who is good both in the bedroom and the kitchen!”
“Cheeky bugger.”
“Well, you’ve passed the first test with flying colours, may I add, so let’s see how you fare in the kitchen!”
Kirsty didn’t respond, but she did enjoy her steak. After dinner they took a walk down to the Inn and sat by the river enjoying a couple of drinks. Kirsty had put a skirt on, but had left off her knickers, keeping Jake aroused. George, the Inn keeper, came round collecting empty glasses, and spoke to them briefly.
“Enjoying your holiday?”
Kirsty smiled. “Yes, having a wonderful time. Well, I am anyway.”
“Me too,” said Jake.
George smiled knowingly at them. “Well, it is a nice place to get away and do your own thing.”
“My mum’s coming up the day after tomorrow,” she told him.
“Oh?”
“Yes, they get back tomorrow, and Dad will be busy with work, so mum’s coming up here.”
“Oh?” George said, at a loss for words. “Well, I’ll see her around then.”
Kirsty smiled as he turned away. “I bet his mind is working overtime now!”
Jake laughed. “You’re wicked, Kirsty.”
“I know,” she responded leaning over to kiss him. “You know, when you don’t wear knickers at night, your cunt gets quite cold.”
He pulled back and shook his head.
“Do I embarrass you?”
“Yes, you bloody do sometimes,” he said as he kissed her.
“Why don’t you sit next to me and keep my cunt warm with your hand.”
Jake washed down the last of his beer. “Come on. It’s bedtime!”
Kirsty accepted his hand and they walked away. “I hope you’re not going to take the cane to my bottom.”
He smiled.
Kirsty could feel wetness on the inside of her thighs.
Jake caned her. It hadn’t been his intention, but Kirsty had brought the subject up. It had been a hint and he knew her well enough by now to be attuned to her needs. The cane was standing upright in the kitchen corner, there from its use the other night. Jake bent her over the kitchen table and began to use it on her. His strokes were soft at first, but then he increased the hardness. Kirsty was in pain. He would stop between strokes and finger her, bringing a release of wetness, before he struck again. He must have hit her hard at least half a dozen times before the redness and bruising on her bottom brought him to stop.
