LOVE IN BLACK 4: The Gardener's Boy

last update Last Updated: 2023-04-05 22:59:50

ENGLAND IS A STRANGE old place: wonderful, fascinating, but strange. And I think I found the very strangest part of it, that summer when I stayed at Flitwick Hall.

I was running away, really, running as far and fast as I could from heavy emotional troubles. So that beautiful and magical house, far away across the Atlantic in England, seemed like just the kind of hideout I needed.

The invitation to visit the Flitwicks, my English relations, had been around for years. I’d always wanted to visit them, but until that summer I'd never had the chance. When I finally turned up, it was purely a spur of the moment thing, and consequently the house was all but empty. There was only a skeleton staff in residence, to take care of one nutty, reclusive old great-aunt I'd never even known that I had.

My troubles? A man, naturally, and the heartache of love turning bad. Ellery and I had been a hot number for a year, a solid couple so I thought, but one day we'd suddenly started arguing, then reali

    (A short story)Dear Jeremy, I can’t thank you enough for handing in my pendant. You can’t imagine how much it means to me. A money reward seems sordid somehow, so may I treat you to a night out instead? I’ve enclosed details of where and when we can meet, and I look forward to showing my appreciation: my PROFOUND appreciation. Anna Caspell (Mrs) When he'd first read the letter, Jem Hathaway had been disappointed. The pendant he’d handed in must've cost a fortune and he’d been hoping for a cash reward. It was a bit of a mystery how a thing so obviously expensive had turned up outside his scruffy dump —the house he shared with half a dozen other guys, all equally as hard up as he was ~ but he hadn’t asked questions, just dropped it in at the local police station. He was puzzled too, by the bobby-on-duty’s reaction. The man had grinned broadly. No, he’d smirked from ear to ear as if someone had cracked a dirty joke, told Jem there was a reward, then nudged his mate behind the counter

    (A short story)IF YOU'RE SHY, DON’T APPLY! Wanted: stylish young man with good body for undraped studies. Excellent remuneration. Apply - with recent photograph - to Miranda Scott, Box No. 1717. Pip ran his finger around the rim of his glass, and wondered what a lady photographer might look like. Over the last few hours he’d pinned a hundred different faces to her voice — but he didn’t think any one of them was right. She sounded sexy, but there was an edge in there somewhere, an emotion he couldn’t quite define. Perplexed, he considered a second drink, and wondered what she'd think of him. Obviously the polaroid he’d sent had made a good impression — she must’ve phoned him within minutes of receiving it. But the photo had been taken for a giggle, at a party, what she'd think of the real Pip was debatable. He was a young man of medium height — a dark young man. He had dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin. His slightly swarthy skin was a legacy from his beautiful Lebanese grandmothe

    (A short story)‘WHAT SORT OF fantasies do you have, Pandora?’ Jake Mallinson cursed inwardly at his perennial and insatiable curiosity. It was probably going to screw up his chances with the most interesting woman he’d met in ages! ‘Mine? What on earth do you want to know about my fantasies for?’ Pandora studied him obliquely across the outlandish sketch she’d just drawn. ‘It’s yours that’re important ... You’re the one who’s paying for this.’ She tapped the paper before them for emphasis. “Yes, I know that.’ Jake thought furiously. How could he prise her secrets from her? He had to know more — she was driving him crazy! ‘But I thought I might get some sexy new ideas from you,’ he improvised, ‘for the apartment, that is ... You’re the interior designer, Pandora. You're the one with the creative mind.’ And the delicious body! he added silently, eyeing her elegant curves and the way her clothes hugged them so faithfully. She’d changed her outfit since earlier in the day — when th

    THIRTY-SIX HOURS. It was all we had. I didn’t know how to tell him... I could see him beyond the barrier, his face alight with smiles. How could I kill that joy by telling him how soon I’d be gone again? ‘Aura! Aura, baby, here!’ I could hear him calling. See him angling his way forward from amongst the waiting throng. And for perhaps the thousandth time since we’d met, I wondered what I’d done to deserve such a prize. Davy Hashimoto... I could feel my strong, soldier-girl’s knees go weak as he darted forward to meet me. My beautiful little Davy, my helpmeet, my lover ... and my very best friend in the world. ‘Oh, baby, it’s so good to see you!’ His arms were already around me as he spoke, and I was wrapped in his warmth and his fine, male scent. I could well imagine the envious look of my fellow female squadmates ... Even some of them men. would be jealous. My lovely Davy the sculptor. How I'd longed to be with him again! I still couldn’t figure out why I called him ‘little’! H

    (A short story)One night in July ALL WORK AND no play makes Jack a very tired I massaged after-bath rub into the muscles of his shoulders and chest, and sighed. Tension popped beneath his fingers; knots of it nagged at his arms and back. His whole body was a great mass of aches. That’s the last time I put so much into one lousy job, he told himself, stretching hard then letting go in a release so delicious he almost came. He rolled his head from side to side, shrugged, then grinned. Okay, so he always put all of himself into everything. But at least next time, Madam could come round herself and ask him nicely! There was no point letting her wind him up again. Because, one: the job was done now; two: in his heart of hearts he was actually grateful to her - very grateful. She’d handed him the biggest break of his whole career. Finally, three: he didn’t like admitting it, but in a strange screwed-up sort of way he really got off on her! He’d never experienced anything like it before

    (A short story)TALK ABOUT GETTING an eyeful! Lying in a Casualty Department, wearing an eye patch, a party frock and a cloud of Shalimar wasn’t quite what I'd expected of a ‘girl’s night out’, but as it was supposed to be the season of good cheer and all that, I was trying to look on the bright side. Mainly because there was one... Closing my eyes — the good one and the one still stinging madly - I conjured up the last thing I'd seen with 20/20 vision. Father Christmas’s willie! Well, not exactly the equipment of Old Saint Nick himself, but the large and rather beautiful tool of ‘Big Saint Nick — The Lady’s Christmas Cracker’ who'd bared his all for us with a good deal of groin-thrusting flourish, and given me a smack in the eye with his G-string too! God, it’d hurt! Like hell! But even so, I couldn’t forget the view ... I'd been rather dubious about a male stripper outing, seeing as I was currently off men, but when Big Saint Nick had prowled on to the stage, I’d changed my m

    (A short story)I'D ALWAYS WANTED to sleep with him. Since the first moment I saw him: when he was just fifteen and I was living with someone else. I’d taken one look at that face and body — and in my mind we’d been naked and fucking. It'd been impossible then, unthinkable: he was underage and the son of a schoolfriend I’d just re-discovered, and I was working hard at ‘me and | Peter’, a relationship already on the skids without my looking elsewhere. There'd been everything against Ross and me. All I could do was ogle and dream and blame stress and some kind of early mid-life crisis. But now — three years on — that ‘everything’ had changed. I'd invited Joan to the villa for a spell, and though I could see she was dying to accept, she frowned suddenly, then started to dither. ‘Can I bring Ross along too? He’s really down in the dumps just now. Some little twit’s jilted him and of course it’s the end of the world. They take things so seriously at that age, don’t they?” I nodded, ap

    (A short story)OH, NO! Why now? Lacey Hanlon sighed in the bathroom and studied the small splinter-shape of red that’d ruined all her plans. Why now? ‘Why not, dimbo?’ she mocked in a whisper, ‘It’s your own fault for not keeping tabs on yourself in the first place!’ It was her own fault, true, but it didn’t make things better. Why now? Just when the sexiest, most beautiful man she’d ever met had started putting out those unmistakable vibes. Why, when she'd been within gasping distance of making love with a man so talented and ideal he was almost a fantasy, had an old and not-very-trusted friend finally decided to arrive? Goddammit! Why now? ‘I’ve invited the artist to my party,’ Jemma had said, ‘He only lives upstairs.’ Lacey and her friend had been admiring the focal point of Jemma’s new flat ~ a huge, bold and very passionate-looking abstract oil painting. It seemed to depict nothing in particular, yet to Lacey’s eyes, it was surprisingly accessible. Painted by a man, it sc

    ‘I'm off to bed,’ Harriet told Rowena. ‘It was a lovely evening.’ Rowena peered at her through the smoke of one of her rare cigarettes. ‘Did you enjoy it? You don’t look very happy.’ ‘I’m just tired. I’m not used to such late hours!’ ‘Have you seen my brother?’ ‘Chris went into the garden,’ Harriet told her. Rowena smiled. ‘He's drunk too much. I'll say goodnight to Lewis for you; he’s busy right now.’ The woman with her laughed. ‘He certainly is. Marita keeps most men busy. She nearly killed my husband last year!’ Rowena’s laughter joined her friend’s and Harriet fled upstairs, certain that they were secretly mocking her. She lay awake until six in the morning but Lewis didn’t join her, and she guessed then that the story must have been true and Marita had kept him busy. At first she wept, but then she told herself that crying was useless. A man like that was bound to be used to casual affairs — what she had to do was make herself indispensable to him, no matter what was nece

    FOR THE NEXT two nights Lewis spent hours in either Harriet’s or his own room, bringing her time and again to the heights of ecstasy she had come to expect from him, and every time she climaxed, every time he taught her something new, she was bound more closely to him. The fact that he was slowly being bound more closely to her was something Lewis chose to ignore. Then, on the Saturday, everything changed. Harriet had been surprised to be invited to the dinner party, and had cancelled her planned evening with Ella because she didn’t want to miss the chance of a genuine film star’s party. Ella green with envy, had understood but demanded a full report in exchange for being let down. ‘I want to hear all about what Rowena wore, ate, drank and how she behaved,’ she told Harriet. ‘Of course. I'll tell you about Lewis too.’ ‘I’m sure you will,’ said Ella, who already had her suspicions about Harriet and the star's husband. When they finally sat down to dinner, Harriet found that she wa

    Lewis’s own erection had now subsided but at the sight of Harriet being aroused to new and only dimly understood heights, he felt himself start to stir again. As the startling feelings continued to grow, Harriet’s breasts began to ache and after only a slight hesitation she reached up, drawing Lewis’s head down towards her. ‘Tell me what you want,’ he murmured. ‘My breasts,’ she moaned, thrusting them up towards his mouth. “They ache.’ ‘And what do you want me to do about it?’ he teased. Harriet didn’t know if she could tell him, but the insistent clamouring of her needy flesh won over her deeply ingrained reticence at vocalising her desires. ‘Suck them for me, Lewis, please.’ ‘Hard or soft?’ he asked, his hand still continuing its pressing movements and his finger drawing up the clitoral hood as he worked so that he could brush lightly across the top of the exposed nub. ‘Hard!’ she begged, her body now nothing but a pressurised aching need for the final stimuation that would a

    THAT EVENING CHRIS and Rowena went to the opera. Lewis hated opera. ‘Good music spoilt by bad acting,’ was his opinion and nothing he saw ever made him change his mind. After they'd gone he went in search of Harriet and found her reading a book in the comfort of the drawingroom. ‘We've got the house to ourselves,’ he said with a smile. ‘How would you like a nice bath? We can use the tub in Rowena’s bathroom - it’s meant for two.’ Harriet lifted her eyes from the page. ‘I had a shower this morning, thanks.’ For a moment Lewis couldn’t believe he’d heard her correctly. “You don’t have to be dirty,’ he said with a laugh. ‘It’s meant to be a sensual pleasure.’ Harriet smiled in an absent-minded way. ‘I’m sure it would be, but I’m a bit tired tonight.’ Since nothing in his imaginary script had prepared Lewis for this he was totally at a loss. ‘I'd like it,’ he said slowly. ‘Doesn’t that matter to you?’ With a soft sigh Harriet put the book to one side. ‘Of course it does, Lewis, but

    Harriet felt that she was going to explode. Her body was being racked by liquid fire and then the incessant drumming of the pulse between her legs changed to a startlingly intense tingling that felt hot and rushed upwards through her with terrifying speed. She shouted out loud, knowing that she could no longer keep her body still even to please this man who meant so much to her. At the sound Lewis moved his fingers to the side of her clitoris and rubbed the slippery tissue with tiny circular motions as he moved in and out of her, his own body straining for relief from the continuous sexual tension as much as Harriet’s. It was Harriet who came first and as her body went taut with the first fierce contractions of her orgasm her vaginal walls contracted tightly around Lewis so that she felt as though she was milking him. She heard him groan and then he was thrusting without thought for her, thrusting solely to give himself the satisfaction that he knew Harriet was about to get. Harri

    LEWIS STARED AT Harriet, hiding his anger behind a mask of indifference. Inwardly he was raging, not only at the fact that she had come into the room uninvited but also at his own stupidity in allowing Rowena to persuade him to make love to her at a time when he should have been concentrating solely on Harriet. ‘Rowena will be with you in a moment,’ he said smoothly, his arousal dissipating at great speed. Harriet’s eyes were wide and she stared at her employer as Rowena, ignoring the younger woman's presence, continued to move herself up and down on Lewis until with a cry of pleasure her body gave itself over to the warm flooding joy of orgasm. Harriet knew that she should leave the room but her legs seemed unable to move. She stayed rooted to the spot watching Rowena’s total abandonment to her sexuality. She felt almost consumed by envy, having spent most of her waking hours imagining what her next sexual encounter with Lewis would be like. Now she was forced to face the fact tha

    Harriet was shocked by his casual acceptance of what they’d seen. Rowena was his wife, and even an open marriage didn’t usually include letting your wife have sex with her half-brother. She decided he was simply good at hiding his emotions, and that this was the only way he could cope with the situation. She was wrong. Lewis was drawn to Rowena sexually; like most men he admired her body and found her sexual magnetism alluring, but emotionally he was untouched by her. Their marriage had suited him as much as it suited her. The joining together of his analytical, muchadmired director's brain and her renowned sexuality and beauty had attracted almost as much attention in Hollywood as Marilyn Monroe’s marriage to Arthur Miller. Looking into the bedroom again, Harriet realised that Rowena’s first priority didn’t seem to be freedom from her bonds so much as freedom from her frustration, for once she failed to loosen her wrists she got to her feet and stood in front of one of the bed-post

    WHEN LEWIS LED Harriet into a tiny room two doors down the landing from his bedroom she thought first that she was in a cupboard, but as her eyes grew accustomed to the darkness she realised that it had originally been intended as a dressing room, although the adjoining door had now been filled in. There was little furniture there, only a high backed chair and a two-seater settee in front of a square window, which let in no light at all. She turned to Lewis in bewilderment. ‘What is this room?’ ‘Sit here next to me on the sofa and look carefully at the window,’ he said softly. Puzzled, she stared at the glass, and after a few seconds realised that she was looking into a distinctly feminine bedroom lavishly decorated in various shades of lilac. As she watched, a figure crossed her line of vision, and she saw Rowena walking totally naked from her adjoining bathroom back to her bed. Harriet ducked down and Lewis laughed. ‘She can’t see you, it’s a two-way mirror.’ ‘You mean, anyone

    Every nerve in Harriet’s body seemed to be alive now. She was trembling with excitement and frantic for more intimate touches but when she reached for his hand to try and move it where she wanted he shook his head. ‘It’s better to wait,’ he assured her. In the adjoining room Chris felt his own breathing quicken. Lewis was playing her with consummate skill, and her restlessly moving legs and upthrusting young breasts were testimony to her arousal. He himself was hard, and longed to be allowed to join in, to take the girl in the ways that he liked, the ways that kept Rowena enthralled. He was surprised by his reaction. Normally he would simply have wanted Rowena more than ever, but he knew that he was going to have to have Harriet before too long. At last Lewis took pity on Harriet and lightly kneaded some of the lotion into each of her breasts in turn. He heard her breath catch in her throat and her eyes were grateful. Then, to Harriet’s surprise, he moved himself up the bed so that
