The local village amateur dramatics group had decided to put on a production of Lady Chatterley's Lover and there was little doubt that Carolyn Bradshaw would be playing the part of Lady Chatterley.
Carolyn was a leading light in the group and also in the village generally, although there was some dramatic licence needed because Carolyn was in her early fifties and the Lady Chatterley of D.H. Lawrence's story was only relatively young.
The question of who should play the part of her lover, Oliver Mellors, was more complex with there being no obvious candidate. In the end, the part was given to Phil O'Donnell, who was aged thirty and a relative newcomer both to the village and to the group.
Carolyn was not keen on the appointment, she hardly knew Phil but found him to be rather uncouth.
Carolyn was married to Peter who was fifteen years her senior and had no interest in her acting or in the production of the stage plays. Phil had a live-in girlfriend, Ingrid, who helped with the scenery and behind-the-scenes but did not act.
The production would be in the village hall on three consecutive nights, but there would be extensive rehearsals before that. Carolyn often played the leading lady role, but this would be Phil's first time as the male lead.
Carolyn studied the script before rehearsals commenced, as it was basically a sex story she wondered how often she would be expected to get sexy with a man that she barely knew, and did not particularly like. She was pleasantly surprised to see that although a lot of sex was inferred, there was only really one sex scene, and that was fully clothed. She would be expected to kiss Phil O'Donnell in his role of Oliver Mellors on several occasions though.
Phil also studied the script with some interest, he was a bit nervous with it being his first leading role, and he was a bit apprehensive about acting opposite the formidable Mrs Bradshaw. He too noticed that there was only one sex scene between them.
It was the evening of the first rehearsals, and Phil decided to try to break the ice.
"I am looking forward to fucking you, Mrs Bradshaw," said Phil to Carolyn.
"Don't be so impertinent," snapped Carolyn in response.
Phil decided to say nothing more.
The rehearsal got to their first kiss, and Phil decided to make it memorable. He inserted his tongue in Carolyn's mouth, causing her to recoil.
"Don't you ever do that again," exclaimed Carolyn.
"What's wrong? What did he do?" asked a startled director, Simon Walsh.
"He put his tongue in my mouth," said Carolyn indignantly.
"I am sorry, I thought it might spice things up a bit," pleaded Phil.
"It was disgusting," responded Carolyn.
"I am sure D.H. Lawrence imagined Oliver putting his tongue in Lady Chatterley's mouth," said Phil.
"Carolyn did not like it, so please refrain, Phil," said Simon.
The rest of the rehearsal session was very wooden, and Simon feared that the casting was wrong.
Ingrid had not been at rehearsals and asked Phil how they had gone when he got home.
"Not very well; I upset Carolyn," answered Phil.
"Oh, how did you manage that?" enquired Ingrid.
"I put my tongue into her mouth," confessed Phil, causing Ingrid to burst out laughing.
"Is that all? I thought you must have pinched her arse or something," chuckled Ingrid.
"She said it was disgusting," replied Phil.
Simon Walsh had a chat with Carolyn and Phil before the second night of rehearsals because he feared having to find a new leading man. Carolyn, being quite professional in her outlook, agreed to give it another go, but stipulated that Phil was not to put his tongue in her mouth, Phil agreed.
The second night of rehearsals went much better until the sex scene anyway.
Phil was required to mount Carolyn and simulate sex, the trouble was that Phil was sexually aroused and his penis was stiff in his underwear, something that Carolyn felt when the younger man got on top of her.
"Sorry about that," Phil whispered in Carolyn's ear, but he got no verbal response.
They simulated having sex, and Simon seemed quite pleased with their efforts.
"That was very convincing, well done," said Simon.
Carolyn gave Phil a look that could best be described as a cross between disgust and lust.
"I got a hard-on when I mounted her," confessed Phil to Ingrid when he got home.
"Shit, what did she say?" asked Ingrid.
"Nothing, but I am sure that she felt it," replied Phil.
"You would like to fuck her for real, wouldn't you?" asked Ingrid.
"Yes, I would; Does that bother you?" responded Phil.
"It didn't bother me when you fucked the other two women in the village, did it?" replied Ingrid.
"No, it didn't," acknowledged Phil, who had shagged two mature married women in the village, but with Ingrid's full knowledge. Both of them more than once.
The third night of rehearsals arrived, and Carolyn was in a good mood.
"Are you going to get stiff again tonight?" Carolyn asked Phil.
"Maybe, do you mind?" replied Phil.
"I suppose that it is a compliment to me in a way," said Carolyn.
"You are a very attractive woman, Mrs Bradshaw," responded Phil.
The time for the sex scene arrived, and Phil again had an erection in his clothing.
The copulation was even more convincing than the previous time due to Carolyn's reaction to feeling Phil's stiff penis prodding her.
Opening night finally arrived, and the village hall was packed, the audience included Ingrid.
Phil knew that he was risking the whole production, but in an early kissing scene, he again inserted his tongue in Carolyn's mouth. She responded by inserting hers in his. The fucking scene promised to be spectacular.
Phil was again stiff when the time came to mount Carolyn, and the lovemaking was way more convincing than rehearsals had ever been. Phil almost came in his underwear, and Carolyn did cum in hers, a fact that Phil thought he had detected.
The audience gave a terrific response at the end of the performance, particularly for the two leads.
That night at home, Ingrid and Phil fucked.
"Wow! Was that me you were fucking, or Carolyn Bradshaw?" asked Ingrid, when she came down.
"You, baby, but I would love to give her one; I think she came when we had the sex scene," said Phil.
"Shit!" responded Ingrid.
The local reporter referenced the sex scene in their glowing report of the opening night's performance and recommended that everyone watched at least one of the two remaining nights.
Carolyn was on a high because it was novel for her to feel a stiff cock between her legs, even if she was fully clothed. After all, she and Peter no longer had sex.
There was a lot of exchanging of tongues during the kissing scenes on nights two and three, and Carolyn came on both nights during the sex scene.
There was a celebratory party after the closing night, and much alcohol was consumed.
Carolyn found herself in conversation with Phil and Ingrid.
"You and I make quite a team, Mr O'Donnell," said Carolyn, her speech a bit slurred.
"We do indeed, Mrs Bradshaw, perhaps we should do it for real," replied Phil, making Ingrid chuckle.
"But, but, I am a married woman," responded Carolyn.
"I don't imagine that you get much from your husband though, do you, Carolyn?" said Phil.
"That is none of your business," replied Carolyn.
"He has fucked two other women from the village," interjected Ingrid.
"Really Who?" responded Carolyn.
"None of your business," laughed Phil.
"Touche!" giggled Carolyn.
"So, how about you and me do it for real?" pressed Phil.
"Do you let your boyfriend do such things?" Carolyn asked Ingrid.
"Yes, and I can guarantee that you will get a memorable fucking," replied Ingrid.
"Oh my goodness, I don't know what to say," said a flustered Carolyn.
