Chapter 10

Suzy felt the tension between herself and Carol growing as they ate breakfast. When she first came in, Carol had blushed and turned her eyes away when she realized that Suzy was staring at her. Not long after that, Daddy came in and whistled and hummed as he ate then read the paper over his coffee.

First Carol then Suzy tried to catch their father's attention, but Daddy was late. Once he finished his coffee, he was hurrying and ignored their efforts, stopping only long enough to give each a quick kiss on the cheek before he went out the door.

The silence in the kitchen was heavy and for once it was Carol who broke first. "Look . . . last night we . . . well, I just didn't want you to think that I. . . ."

Suzy felt her own reserve snap and she leaned forward menacingly as she snapped back at her pretty sister. "Last night was last night, Carol, nothing more! Last night didn't change a thing between us, you started trying to hog all of Daddy's time and attention and that has nothing to do with last night!"

The little blonde was pleased to see the look of shock and surprise on Carol's face. She heard a knock at the front door and snapped again, determined to have the last word for once. "There're your friends 'big-deal', you'd better run along and play!"

Carol looked angry but there was another knock at the door and she had to jump up and answer it. Suzy stayed at the table and listened to Carol talking to some friends then heard the door close and the house was silent.

Suzy finally got up and put away the breakfast things, enjoying the silence and the solitude until a thought suddenly halted her. It was too quiet. Where was Mary?

For a long moment, the little girl stood at the sink then she turned and checked the wall clock. It was after nine. Mary was usually up and moving around long before this. At first Suzy tried to shrug the problem aside, after coming home late and that thing with daddy, why shouldn't she want to sleep in? That thought satisfied her for a few minutes but then the doubts began to creep in on her. What if their stepmother was sick, or hurt! Memories of Daddy's big prick squeezing in that tight hole teased the little girl, that could have hurt her. . . .

Suzy tried to put the problem out of her mind but no matter what she did she would catch herself looking at the clock, aware of each passing second, thinking that Mary might be laying sick or hurt, needing her!

Before she was actually aware that she'd made a decision, Suzy found herself in the hallway outside the bedroom door. She inched a little closer, pressing her ear against the panel to see if she could hear any sounds of life. She didn't hear a thing! All sorts of terrible thoughts raced through her head as her imagination ran riot. The fears she felt for Mary surprised her a little, but she couldn't ignore them.

The latch on the bedroom door clicked softly as Suzy turned the knob. She hesitated again, hoping to hear something. The door swung open, moving' silently on its oiled hinges. A faint light filtered in from the shaded patio and Suzy couldn't see very well. She could see Mary's outline under the sheet but that was all.

The little blonde felt her heart thumping wildly against her ribcage. The whole thing was silly. She knew that deep down, Daddy wouldn't really hurt Mary and he certainly wouldn't go off to work and leave her if anything was wrong. All that was true, but Suzy just had to be sure, had to find out for herself!

She was standing just inches away from the bed and Suzy could see Mary clearly now. The beautiful brunette's eyes were closed, her full breasts rose and fell in a deep, steady rhythm, she looked calm and serene.

Suzy felt relieved and foolish at the same time, but just then her step mother's dark eyes flickered open and a hand darted out from under the sheet to catch her by the wrist!

"Wha . . . what's the matter?' Mary was still sleepy, her voice was low and foggy as she sat up, still clutching at Suzy.

"Nothing, nothing's wrong Mary. I was just worried about you," the little girl blurted as she tried to twist her wrist free of Mary's strong grip. The tousled brunette peered at her then nodded sleepily and let go. Suzy was almost out the door when her stepmother's voice stopped her.

"Just a minute, baby, come on back here." The little blonde heard the firm note in Mary's voice and couldn't ignore it. She slowly, reluctantly turned back toward the bed. She could see the puzzled look on the beautiful woman's face. Mary patted the bed beside her and waited until Suzy sat down before she spoke again.

"I don't understand, honey, why should you be worried about me? I've slept late lots of times before and you never came in to check on me then. So what's different about this morning?" Suzy felt an icy chill in her chest as her brain frantically looked for a reasonable answer to give.

"Uhhh ... I was just checking, nothing special," she mumbled vaguely. But even as the words were being spoken, Suzy knew that Mary wasn't buying any of it.

The beautiful brunette shook her head im-' patiently, she was fully awake now and Suzy saw the exasperation snapping the dark eyes. "Now come on, Susan, you don't just go poking around out of simple curiosity, you always have a reason for what you do. Speak up, young lady!"

The pretty little girl was totally shaken, she wasn't used to telling lies like this and the words simply popped out of her mouth before she could catch them. "I ... I was worried about you because of what Daddy did to you last night. I was afraid that you were hurt or sick or something like that!!!"

For a full ten second's the world stopped spinning! Suzy's mouth was open as she stared in sick horror at her stepmother. In turn, Mary stared wide-eyed at Suzy, the little girl noticed a nervous tick under one eye, but that was the only motion, the woman didn't even seem to be breathing!

After what seemed like a year of shocked silence, Mary managed to make her voice work. It sounded scratchy and strained. "What do you mean 'after what daddy did to you'? How do you know what your father and I did last night?" Suzy wanted to cry, she felt terrible and more than a little afraid but she knew that Mary would stop her if she tried to leave the room now.

Mary's voice softened a little and the girl knew that she was trying to control herself as she tried again. "Please, honey, tell me what's going on . . . last night your father and I, we . . . I just can't think of any other way to ask, how do you know what we did?"

Suddenly Suzy didn't care any more, she was so tired of all the lies and the sneaking around, it was just too hard to keep making up lies to cover lies! "I heard you come in last night and . . . well, we watched you and daddy through the patio window." There, it was said, it was all out in the open and she was glad!

Mary stared at her another few seconds then her dark eyes slowly moved toward the window, then back to Suzy. All the blood had drained from the beautiful woman's face and her voice sounded dull and lifeless. "You mean you saw all that . . . happened?" Suzy nodded, she was ashamed and wanted to die! Then Mary made a little gasping sound and she gripped the slender girl's wrist. "You said 'we watched'. Who was with you Suzy? Who else saw that?"

For an instant the little blonde was going to make up a story, but then she shrugged mentally, what was the use? "I went out by myself and .. . Carol came out. . . after Daddy spanked you," she whispered in a lifeless voice. The little girl let her head hang, thankful that her long hair hid her face. She was ashamed of intruding on her stepmother's privacy and sorry that she had been a witness to what had happened.

Mary sat very still. She didn't say a word for the longest time. Her hand was still clutching Suzy's wrist, but the little girl had no wish to break free because she knew that running wouldn't solve any of their problems. Finally, the lovely woman beside her sighed and lifted Suzy's face with a finger under the chin.

"Well, honey, what can I say to you ? I can't say that it was all right for you to spy on your father and I because it wasn't. What happens between a man and a woman in their bedroom is their business, but it's done now and there's no way that I can make you forget what you saw, is there?

Suzy felt tears of shame welling up in the corners of her eyes as she shook her head, Mary was being so nice, so understanding that she simply had to confess! She had to talk to someone about the confusion and tensions that were tormenting her.

"Can I tell you one other thing?" Mary looked at her nervously. Her fingers tightened around Suzy's wrist as she nodded. "Yesterday, at the picnic ... I was up on the hill when you and Miss Rogers came up there ... I watched that, too."

Suzy wasn't sure what reaction she expected, but the reaction that she got stunned her! Mary sat motionless for a few more seconds then her face began to wrinkle, then her head fell back and she roared with laughter! Suzy sat very still and stared in amazement as her beautiful stepmother dissolved into helpless laughter. Tears ran down her cheeks and she had to gasp for breath as the laughter went on and on.

At last Mary managed to control herself. She was still gasping for breath as she wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand. "Poor baby, what an education. First you watch two women playing girl games, then you see a spanking and a sodomy! It must have made you sick, honey." Mary looked at Suzy and something must have shown in the pretty little girl's face, because the laughter died in the brunette's face and she tightened her grip on the wrist. Her voice suddenly sounded different, lower and more private. "Ohhh ... I can see that it didn't make you sick at all, darling." She paused for a second, Suzy was aware of her fingers as they began to massage the tight flesh of her wrist and forearm.

"When you watched Ida . . . kissing and sucking at me, did that make you feel all hot and funny inside?" Suzy didn't want to answer, she wasn't so stupid that she couldn't see where this was leading them, but something inside of her wanted to answer, a something that she didn't even know existed until this very moment!

"When I watched you with Miss Rogers ... I played with myself," the slender child admitted. She tried to hide behind her hair, but Mary's hand brushed the long locks away from her face. "I got excited watching you and wished that I was there with you," Suzy said simply, there was no more room for lies or evasions.

Mary's voice was even lower and throatier than before. She edged a little closer to Suzy as she spoke. One of her firm breasts pressed against the child's slender arm. "Ohhhh baby, I wish I had known how you felt. We would have loved to have you with us. You're a beautiful child, it would be so lovely to . . . be with you, to kiss your pretty little body."

Suzy shivered and felt her flesh crawl with delightful tension, Mary was whispering at her now. She was so close that her perfume seemed to swirl around the both of them. The little girl stared down at the warm flesh that was nudging her arm and shyly leaned toward it. She heard a tiny gasp of pleasure seep out of Mary's mouth as she pressed harder against the breast.

The lovely brunette slipped an arm around her and was drawing her down in the bed as her lips pressed against her ear. Hot, steaming words echoed and hissed in Suzy's confused mind as her body reacted to the light, exploring touch of her stepmother's hands.

"Please, darling, relax. Let me show you how nice one woman can be for another, but remember that this is a very, very private thing you can't tell anyone what we do. They wouldn't understand and we'd get into trouble, do you understand?"

Suzy felt a sharp little dart of disappointment. Another lie that she had to live with, first Uncle Dave, then Daddy, now Mary. Each of them made her promise to be still about what they shared. Why did everyone have to hide from each other, why couldn't they be loving in the open? Suzy didn't have much time to think about all of that, Mary's warm hands were moving over her body, pressing and touching, each feather light stroke made her feel better and pushed her worries further toward the back of her mind.

"Ohhh, little baby," the brunette murmured as she helped Suzy slip out of her shirt, "I've often looked at you and wished that I could touch you like this, that I could teach you all the lovely things I know."

Mary stopped whispering as her head bent over and her soft lips found one of Suzy's little nipples. The little blonde sighed and wiggled as she felt the delightful suction against her flesh. As Mary kissed and sucked at the child's firm little nubs, the woman's hands crept down and deftly worked the zipper of her shorts until the fly lay wide open, then she began to roll the tight little garment down. Suzy moaned .as she lifted her bottom so that they could be drawn down over her thighs and thrown to one side.

Mary paused and sat up for a moment, her dark eyes were blazing with excitement as she pulled down the straps of her nightgown and wiggled free of it. Suzy lay flat on the bed and stared up at the full, lushly rounded body just inches from her. The little girl felt wet and melted as she focused on the dark, inviting nipples that stood out hard and long from Mary's olive flesh. Mary made a soft, cooing sound as she moved back to her. This time she stayed upright and pressed one of those tempting nipples up against Suzy's pink lips. A hand slipped under her full breast and held it. Suzy had the pleasant feeling that she was a baby again, warm and loved as she opened her lips and began to suck happily at the breast.

Mary sighed and murmured something that Suzy didn't understand. But she didn't care. She felt happy and protected as the warm flesh was pressed into her face. One of her stepmother's hands began to slip down the front of her body until a probing forefinger dipped between the little girl's puffy labia and began to bathe itself in the pure, warm lubricant that was bubbling out of her. The finger tip found her clitoris and Suzy groaned and bit gently at Mary's nipple as it wiggled and twisted over her tiny pleasure knot.

"Touch me too, darling. Feel me and make me feel good," Mary whispered. Suzy didn't hesitate for a moment. One hand made shy stroking motions across Mary's back as the other began to touch and probe in the dark curly pit between the woman's thighs.

"Oooooo," Suzy squealed as she felt Mary's wet tongue find the elastic neck of her vagina and press in. Her own little finger was working in and out of Mary's wet sex and she could feel the beautiful woman's body tremble and jerk as she pressed against the mature, erect clitoris. Suddenly Mary's body moved forward and Suzy found her face pressed up against the warm, jerking mound. The little blonde hesitated for a few seconds then she sighed happily as her arms slipped around the backs of her stepmother's thighs and her own tongue burrowed deep into the offered vagina!!!

"Ohhhh baby," Mary sighed, lifting her head away from Suzy's jerking pelvis just long enough to speak. "That's so sweet, honey. We are going to have such fun together you and I. No one will know about us and we can do such nice things for each other!"

A tiny cloud of doubt crept across Suzy's happy mind. Why did it have to be a secret? Why did they have to hide and pretend about love? Why wasn't loving and caring for each other something to be proud of, something to show the world?

Somehow, even as she moaned and bucked under the lash of the beautiful woman's tongue, Suzy found herself thinking of her father, a little glimmer of understanding came to her, she wasn't sure why, but Daddy was the key. If she could love Daddy and make him love her the way that she yearned for him to, she was sure that she could unravel the knot in all their lives.

"Ohhhh Daddy," the little girl murmured, her words muffled by Mary's jerking, slippery flesh, "you are the one, I just have to make you love me now, I just have to!!!"
