Chapter 1
Valerie Walker applied a frosty-pale lipstick carefully before the bathroom mirror. She had the motel suite to herself for the moment since her daughters, Ethel and Penny, were off on some errand of their own and her husband, Mark, had had an early business appointment. Valerie had indulged herself by sleeping an extra hour.
The mirror in the bathroom between the two bedrooms reflected a tall, ash-blond, fresh-faced, full-bosomed woman with light blue eyes and marvelously clear skin. She put the lipstick away and smoothed her skirt over hips that flared spectacularly from her slender waist. Her woman friends were envious of her girlish waist and calves which emphasized the firm, matronly curves of her breasts and buttocks.
Satisfied with her appearance, she left the motel suite and went down the long corridor to the coffee shop. Her freshly lipsticked mouth broke into a wide smile when Mark stood up at a corner table and waved to her. She hurried to him and kissed his cheek lightly before taking the seat across from him. "Good morning, dear," she said warmly. "I'd have come sooner if I'd known your appointment was going to be a short one."
"Didn't know it myself," he said cheerfully as the waitress filled Valerie's coffee cup. Mark Walker was a handsome man, six-two, two hundred trim pounds, with black hair and a small mustache. He wore clothes well and had a debonair manner that suggested sophisticated tastes.
Valerie glanced around the coffee shop as she lifted her coffee cup to her lips. "Where are the girls, Mark?"
"I gave them money to do a little shopping," he replied.
"You're spoiling them outrageously!" Valerie protested.
"Nonsense, Val," he said briskly. Then he smiled. "And anyway, why shouldn't I spoil all three of my girls?"
Valerie felt a tide of color sweeping into her face at the look in Mark's eyes. She had been married to Mark Walker for only four months, the most thrilling months of her life. Ethel, almost seventeen, and Penny, almost sixteen, were her daughters by a marriage that had ended in widowhood for her eight years previously. She had never expected to be as happy as she found herself to be in the arms of Mark Walker, and she still found it exciting to wake mornings and rediscover his dark head on the next pillow. And best of all, the girls had taken to him almost immediately.
"Orange juice?" Mark suggested. "Eggs over with sausage?"
Valerie refused the orange juice but said yes to the eggs and sausage. She still had a little-girl feeling of well-being at Mark's casual inclusion of his whole new family on his business trips. Mark was an insurance broker and a prosperous one. They had moved into his handsome home around which Valerie was still feeling her way, and the feeling of money being available for luxuries still caused her to feel a bit giddy. And the girls loved it, of course.
Thinking of her daughters reminded Valerie of a point she wanted to bring up with Mark. She set down her coffee cup before speaking. "I'd like to make a suggestion," she began. "You don't have to decide right this minute, but I'd like you to be thinking about it. It's about your son, Neal." Valerie was Mark's third wife, and Neal, seventeen, was the son of his first marriage. Because Mark's second wife hadn't wanted the boy around the house he had spent his teenage years in a military academy.
"What would you think about bringing Neal home from the academy and letting him finish his last semester at the local high school with the girls?" Valerie continued. "He was really cute with them when he was home for a visit three weeks ago, and I hated to see him go back to that place. He's had so little family life, Mark, and I get the feeling he's lonely. He's shy, but he has delightful manners." She leaned across the table slightly. "You've made me so happy, dear," she said softly, "I can't bear to think of anyone connected with us not being as happy as possible."
Mark was staring into the depths of his coffee cup. "Do you think the girls would adapt well to what would be an invasion of their private preserve?" he asked.
"I'm sure of it," Valerie said firmly. "Penny thought he was the greatest thing since her last roller coaster ride."
Mark smiled. "We'll think about it, then," he said. "You know you have two very nice daughters, Val. I had a cup of coffee with them this morning while they were breakfasting, and I asked them-quite seriously, I may add-" He smiled at her again. "If they felt I was making you properly happy. Ethel said promptly that anyone had only to look at you to know I was. Before I thought I said people should see us when we were alone t o g e t h e r." The smile quirked the corners of his attractive mouth.
"Fortunately the semi-suggestive nature of my response seemed to pass over their attractive young heads."
Valerie smiled, too. "Youngsters know so much more these days than we did when I was a girl, but I guess they don't know it all yet despite their pretensions to sophistication." Her eggs and sausage arrived, and she ate hungrily, accepting another cup of coffee from the waitress.
Mark leaned across the table as Valerie had previously. "You didn't ask me why I gave the girls shopping money," he said in an undertone. Valerie shook her head negatively, her mouth full of toast. "I couldn't give them money for the movies in the morning," Mark continued with a twinkle in his eye, "but I thought if I removed them from the vicinity of the suite, it just might be possible for me-" He leaned still closer and his voice lowered again. "To persuade my wife to come back to our bedroom with me for a good fuck."
Valerie's cheeks pinkened but her eyes shone. Mark's ardency was a continuing revelation to her. Sex-starved for the years of her widowhood, she doubly appreciated this virile man who could melt her with a glance. "Your wife is very easy to persuade, sir," she replied demurely. Under cover, of the table she reached across and gave Mark's thigh a quick squeeze.
"More coffee?" he asked as she finished her eggs.
She shook her head as she rose from the table. Picking up her handbag, she walked around the table and placed her lips against Mark's ear. "I'd rather have the fuck," she murmured.
He laughed aloud, and heads turned in their direction. Valerie's color heightened again at the attraction she had drawn by causing Mark's masculine guffaw, but she was proud of the appearance she knew they made. His big hand had already started in the direction of her hips before he remembered their public position, and the hand fell to his side.
Mark paid the bill and they returned along the corridor to the suite, Valerie walking a bit faster than usual. Inside, she locked the door, then walked through the bathroom to the girls' bedroom and locked that door. Returning, she placed her handbag on the bureau and walked into Mark's arms. He had been standing staring almost absentmindedly at the closet door, partly opened. "What is it?" Valerie asked, putting her arms around him. "What's on your mind?"
"You," he said immediately, hugging her. "Your ass. Your cunt. That's what's on my mind."
Valerie's skin pebbled lightly as the rude words stirred her juices. She snuggled her head against her husband's shoulder while his hands crept down her back and played fondly with her ungirdled behind, palpating her wide-beamed soft buttock flesh until her breath came more quickly. "I love it when you talk to me like that," she whispered.
"What's that, madam?" Mark inquired loudly. "What have you to say to your deaf old husband?"
"I said I'm in love with my husband's big prick," Valerie said clearly, and kissed him. "His lovely big prick that fucks my cunt." She looked down at the goosebumps on her arms. "Isn't it amazing what you do to me, Mark?" she asked quietly. "I'm getting wet."
"And where might that be, wife?" Mark trailed his mustache across the bare flesh of Valerie's upper arm, and she shivered.
"You know where," she retorted. "Right where your ravening monster is going to bump my little pussy."
"Let me undress you," he said huskily, and reached for the buttons on her blouse.
Valerie stood obediently while Mark slipped her out of the blouse and unfastened her bra. Her snowy white breasts crested with cherry-red nipples centered in dark areolas thrust forth firmly from her chest wall, and Mark Walker lowered his head to kiss the resilient flesh and then lick at the stiffening nipples with a probing tongue.
"Ooooooooooh!" Valerie breathed in a contented sigh. "Do you think it feels so good because I know what comes afterward will feel even better?"
"Indubitably," Mark said. He unzipped her skirt and guided it down over her hips and legs. Valerie stepped out of it and tossed it on a chair. Mark did the same with her half-slip, and Valerie stood revealed in garter belt, panties, and stockings. Teasingly Mark plucked the elasticized waistband of the panties from Valerie's slender waist and very, very slowly pulled them down over the yieldingly voluptuous milk-white globes of her outspread nude hind cheeks, completely unveiled except for the ineffectively concealing garter belt tapes.
"Now let me do you," Valerie said. Mark had already removed the jacket of his suit, and she unbuttoned his shirt and pulled the tails from his trousers. She unbelted those and let them drop to his ankles, then knelt down in front of him and removed his shoes. Mark was standing with his back to the bed and Valerie's bare behind, out-thrust in her kneeling position, was pointed at the closet door.
She swept his trousers from his ankles, and still kneeling, pulled down his undershorts. "Ahhhhhhh, you beautiful thing!" she said softly, taking her husband's lazy erection on her palm while with her other hand she caressed his hairy balls. Long black hair clustered thickly on Mark's thighs and buttocks. His equally hairy belly was flat and solid-looking.
Valerie wet her lips with the tip of her tongue, then lowered her head and took the prick on her palm into her mouth. She licked it, then sucked on it, her cheeks puckering. She ovaled her mouth and began to move her lips back and forth on its increasing length while the springy, full-fleshed spheres of her robustly brimful naked posterior quivered slightly from her exertions.
Mark changed the position of his feet so that he was standing sideways to the bed, and Valerie moved on her knees to remain in front of him and not lose her mouth-grip on the expanding, thick-stemmed cock crowding the back of her throat. Valerie made a humming sound deep in her throat, and the vibration passed from her lips to the prick in her mouth brought Mark up on his toes. "Christ!" he said fervently. "You've got a mouth on you like a vacuum cleaner, Val!"
Valerie let her fleshy prisoner slide from between her lips as she looked up at her husband. They were standing and kneeling, respectively, in profile to the closet. "I wish you had four more so I could bring them up for you, too," she said. "He's ready, isn't he?" She stroked the purple-headed, saliva-slick rampant prick thrusting at her face. "I adore what you're going to do to me, you darling thing."
Mark reached down and placed both hands under her armpits, raising her to her feet. Their bodies fitted together comfortably as he kissed her hard on the mouth, Valerie's softly protruding round belly blending into her husband's harder, hairy one. Just below his erection jutted upward and prodded her in the downy blond fleece atop her thigh-juncture.
They kissed lingeringly, exchanging tongues and searching out each other's mouths with darting forays. Mark's right hand groped at Valerie's thighs which widened obligingly so his hand could enter between them and a finger dip between the pink-lipped furrow nestled in her feathery curls. Valerie began to moan softly and rub her belly feverishly against Mark's.
"Ohhhh, God, I'm so hot!" she said hoarsely when Mark removed his mouth from hers. She widened her thighs still more. "Feel me, dear. Put your finger way inside."
"Let's get on the bed so I can really get at you," Mark replied. "You're almost as slippery down there as if I'd already had my prick in you."
"I just gush when you touch me," Valerie murmured. "Even with my clothes on. A couple of times I've had to change panties just before we went out somewhere."
Mark sat down on the bed and placed Valerie between his knees. He pulled the waistband of her garter belt down to mid-thigh, then let its weight pull it and her stockings down her creamy legs. He inclined her forward over one thigh almost in spanking position, then bent forward and kissed each succulent bare hind cheek. "I'm going to eat a planked steak right off your bare ass one of these days," he said with a rasp in his voice. He manipulated the sleek surfaces which vibrated gently, opening and closing her deep fissure.
Once again his hand went between her thighs and a curved finger probed upward into her sex-slit. Valerie purred like a milk-fed kitten as the finger slowly worked its way in and out of her moist pussy-lips. With her left hand she reached behind her and took hold of Mark's cock which had been almost covered by her body. She squeezed it in time to the finger-frigging of her eagerly participating cunt, then gasped aloud as Mark's finger action picked up speed and intensity.
"On your back, Val!" he said sharply.
Gladly she shifted from his knees to the bed and rolled over on her back. Her splayed thighs pointed at the closet door as Mark's hand returned for a final brisk tuning-up of her sex-engine that had Valerie burbling like a teakettle.
"Ask me, sweetheart," he said finally in what had become a ritual with them.
"Please fuck me, dear," she responded. "Fuck me hard and I'll love you forever."
Mark moved in between her parted legs and, taking each in a hand, doubled them back against her chest. Valerie's finger-frictioned love nest pouted up at him from the midst of damp, blond pussy hair, and he lowered his head and ran his tongue along her reddened slit. "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" she exclaimed, stretching her thighs still farther apart. "It's just gorgeous when you eat me!"
"But it's not what you really want right now?" he questioned her.
"I want your prick in me," she said feverishly. "In my cunt. All the way in as far as it will go." Mark shuffled closer to her on his knees, and Valerie groped for his hardstanding cock. "Let me put it in," she begged. "I love to put it in me."
She bumped the purple head against her cranny in search of her cuntal entrance. Her hand steadied, thrust firmly, the head disappeared, and Valerie's breath whistled between her teeth. "Ohhhhhhhh, that wonderful feeling!" she sighed deeply.
Mark immersed his thick cock in his wife's up-thrust quim with steady pressure. His blue-veined rigidity was engulfed in her straining twat a shining white inch at a time. He joggled his hips from side to side to widen the passage, and Valerie's lips parted again as she voiced her reaction to the sensual stimulation caused by the big prick in her sex-crevice. "Ohhhhhhhhh, Mark!" she cried. "I love you, Mark! I love you!"
When he was belly-to-belly with Valerie, Mark lowered his head to the juncture of her neck and shoulder, then began to pump upon her. His cock powerdived upon her tight-clasping cunt while all of Valerie's soft woman-flesh was in motion. Belly, breasts, and buttocks jiggled gelatinously as Mark plunged in steady strokes into his willing receptacle.
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm!" Valerie moaned excitedly as her cunt was buffeted enjoyably by her husband's deep-lodged ramrod. "Ooooooooooh, the way-it slides-in and out is-heavenly!" She raised her legs higher and clasped Mark's waist firmly with her plump thighs, her upraised bare bottom wriggling passionately as Mark continued to plow her garden.
A hot spark ignited in her interior and proceeded to liquefy. "Mark!" Valerie half-screamed as the spark turned to a coal and the coal to a blaze. Her thighs trembled as she writhed beneath her husband's steady poking. "Mark! I'm-ohhhh!-it's good! It's- ohhh!- I'm-'m-coming, Mark! OHHHhhh!"
Her convulsed cunt deluged Mark's fleshy wedge in her body. Valerie's behind sank languidly upon the bed as her husband's cock plummeted into her juicy cavern with increasing abandon. Her hands crept down his muscled back and played lightly with his plunging buttocks, reveling in the feel of his hairiness. Mark's hard stomach resounded noisily upon Valerie's soft one as his cock penetrated her oozing chasm. Her hands left Mark's hind cheeks and her arms enfolded his upper body tightly as she felt from the increased force of his fucking of her that he was nearing his orgasm.
And then a shudder rippled through her. "Ohhhhhh?" she murmured in a questioning tone. The shudder was followed by another quick flame, fomenting sexual excitement in her hard-jostled depths. "Oooooh! Ohhhh, Mark!" Valerie panted. "I'm-wait! Ohhh, please-oooooh!-wait!"
His fierce lunges steadied to gliding thrusts as he went into a holding pattern. His wife's pearly, wide-spanned rump climbed from the bed again and jiggled in fleshy abandon. Her hips spiraled in feverishly frantic movement while her voice soared. "Mark! Mark, I'm-ooooh, there it is-again! Ahhhhh! AHHHHHHH! h-h! I'm-coming, Mark! I'm- coming again!"
Her body was wrenched by uncontrollable interior forces while his prick strokes into her returned to their former intensity. His shoulders hunched and his knees dug into the bed for additional leverage. His teeth nipped at Valerie's neck as he pounded her creaming twat, and then he bellowed hoarsely as his hands slipped beneath her to compress her bell-shaped, heavy hind cheeks while hot jets of sperm traveled the length of his prick and inundated her cock-filled jewel box.
After a moment Mark's abated erection slipped gently from his wife's ruby-red pussy-lips, and he moved out from between her legs and rolled onto his back. Valerie flexed her legs several times, savoring the diminishing sensation still lodged in her cooling cunt. Then she scrambled onto her knees and bent down over Mark, kissing his belly and running her mouth down near his greasy-looking, eroded white prick. "Thank you for waiting for me the second time, Mark," she said softly. "You're a wonderful fucker. Just wonderful."
"You're not so bad yourself-for an old lady," he teased between rapidly drawn breaths. His hands came up and recaptured her hind cheeks which showed his handprints from the frenzy of their lovemaking. "What an ass you've got on you, Val! I can never get enough of it."
"I hope you never do," Valerie returned. She licked at his shriveling cock, then sucked it. "There," she announced. "It's all clean." She licked her lips with a smacking sound. "Love that taste. Love that man-smell, too. I can get hot just thinking about the way you smell after we've made love."
"You're something else," he laughed. "I still think you're putting me on when you say you weren't getting any while you were a widow."
Valerie shook her blond head. "It's true. There were the girls, of course. And I was busy. It was too complicated. Oh, I had a proposition or two, but I never wanted just a quick poke. I wanted a husband. And now I've got one." She snuggled down against Mark with her large breasts probing his rib cage. "And you're so good to me, dear."
"What did you do all the time you were a widow, Val?"
"For relief, you mean? You know what I did. Feeling guilty as sin every time."
"Exactly what?" he persisted.
"You're making me reveal all my dreadful secrets," she protested. She wriggled closer to his warm body. "But I don't really mind. I have compensation, don't I?" She placed several butterfly kisses on her husband's chest and neck. "Well, when I was absolutely climbing the wall, I'd go upstairs and remove my panties and get on the bed and play with myself with my finger while I wondered if I'd ever have a man's heavenly gristle in me again. Terribly mundane, I suppose. But also terribly mortifying to think I couldn't control my female nature."
"I'm in love with your female nature," Mark said soberly, still playing with a roomy bare buttock, slightly damp from Valerie's abandoned fucking. "So many women never realize their potentialities, Val. You do, and that's what makes it so great in the hay with you. Even the very first time-"
"Don't embarrass me by recalling that very first time, since we hadn't been churched, sir," Valerie interrupted. She raised herself and placed her blond head on Mark's chest. "But I wanted you so badly you could have had me under the main intersection traffic light if you'd pushed a little. As it was-"
"As it was your little pussy's introduction to my prick wasn't quite that public, but it didn't miss by much," Mark interrupted in his turn.
Valerie giggled. "If the choir had ever dreamed what was happening to its chaste, unsullied, prudish, angelic director, the world would have come to an end."
His big hand traced the long slope of her back and flirted with the deep crease between her billowingly fleshy hind cheeks. "How do you feel, Val?"
"Like I always feel after you fuck me so nicely," she returned promptly. "Scrumptious. Ah-ha!" Her hand darted down and encircled his re-aroused cock. "Look who's sitting up and taking notice!" She half-turned to place her head above his middle and lipped the lengthening fleshy rod into her mouth. Then she dropped it. "Perhaps you'd rather not?" she asked. "I don't mean to be an absolute pig, dear."
"Go right ahead," he invited her. "But this time I want to backdoor you."
"Any way you want," she answered. "Any way at all. Kneeling on the bed or standing up and bending over?"
"Standing up. There's an extraordinary tactile sensation when I get my prick between those handsome big ass-cheeks of yours, Val."
"My most fervent wish is that you never run out of sensations, Mark," Valerie said earnestly. "And you never will if I can help it." She dropped her mouth upon the stiffening prick and swirled her tongue around its reddish-purple head. It delighted her when she felt Mark's thigh muscles tense from the titillation afforded by her quick-darting tongue.
She rose to her knees to get more leverage, her croup pointed at Mark's face. He played idly with her velvety globes while Valerie mouth-fucked his long cock into its former state of massive engorgement. He parted her weighty nude haunches with his knuckles and slipped a finger into her lubricious cunt-hole which he proceeded to palpitate thrillingly while little tremors ran through Valerie's luscious belly and thighs.
"You're on the verge of overdoing it, sweetheart," he said finally, and Valerie reluctantly removed her hard-working mouth from his saliva-slippery big prick. The circumcised, purple-eyed head pointed right at her chin. She gave it a parting lick and slid from the bed.
She pulled the night table slightly away from the bed, removed the telephone and placed it on the floor, then plumped a pillow up and covered the small table's top with it. She widened her leg stance to correspond with the table's legs and lowered herself upon the pillow on her stomach so that her tautly curved bottom cheeks thrust backward invitingly. "Come and get it, dear," she said over her shoulder.
Mark climbed from the bed and approached her plumped-out, deliriously capacious nudity. He stood behind her for a moment rubbing his belly against the satiny skin of her backside, then brought his erection up between her parted thighs. Valerie sighed with pleasure as her husband skillfully found her slot and inserted the head of his straining prick inside, then bucked its thick-stemmed length all the way up her sex-channel.
"Mmmmmmmmm!" Valerie moaned as she felt Mark's balls collide with her upper thighs as the head of his prick seemed to reach well up into her molten-lava interior. "That's-so nice!"
She adored the feeling of distention, although the position wasn't her favorite for fucking. She found it difficult to come, but anything Mark wanted to do in bed was perfectly all right with her. He certainly made her come often enough in other positions. She relaxed her stomach and buttock muscles and half-closed her eyes as the thick prick began to surge up into her from beneath. Mark's lunges into her cunt were so powerful that two-thirds of the time Valerie came up on her toes. The steady thwacking noise of his belly against her bare behind was the only sound in the motel room.
Valerie floated tranquilly in a cozy sexual haze. She already knew she wasn't going to come, but she didn't care. The big prick pistoned her sex-chute with felicitous abandon as Mark's heavy breathing testified to his expenditure of effort. His hands which had been gripping her bare shoulders slipped down and locked underneath the round bowl of her-lissome stomach, pulling her up against him more tightly.
"Hold-on!" Mark's voice rasped as his metronomic fucking of his wife disintegrated into a rabbitlike convulsion of his hips as he spurted his thick cream far up into her crammed incision. "Ahhhhhhh, Jesus!" he sighed deeply, resting his entire weight along the length of her back. "What a fuck!"
Valerie could feel the formerly ravaging cock drooping within her, unplugging her cunt-hole so that she could feel Mark's spend escaping from her pussy and trickling down her thighs. Her husband's weight was considerable but, supported as she was by the table, not onerous. She rested quietly and listened to his breathing slack off to normal.
Finally he pulled his withered prong out of her, slapped a rotund naked hind cheek in affectionate thanks for service rendered, and sank back upon the nearby bed. Valerie raised herself from the pillow-cushioned table top, took a quick swipe between her legs with the trailing edge of a sheet, then joined her husband on the bed. They stretched lengthily with mutually repleted sighs, Mark's back to Valerie's front with her back to the closet door.
Valerie kissed the nape of Mark's neck and the tip of his uppermost shoulder. He reached behind him and once more captured a handful of spherical sleekness which always seemed to enthrall him. "Mark," Valerie broke the comfortable silence. "I hate to say it, but the girls will be coming back from their shopping trip."
"Where do you suppose I could send them this time?" he asked lazily.
Valerie laughed happily, a cheery, high-spirited, gleeful sound. "Listen, Superman," she chided him playfully, "we're supposed to check out of this motel and head for home."
"I suppose so," he sighed. "D'you want to use the shower first?"
"We could use it together," Valerie said archly.
He chuckled deeply. "I think our check-out time would be further delayed if we did, sweetheart."
She raised herself on one elbow to trail her lips lovingly across her husband's bare shoulder. A moving shadow on the wall caught her eye, and at the same time she sensed rather than saw a flicker of movement behind her. Valerie turned her head, and froze.
Tiptoeing from the opened closet door in their stockinged feet, carrying their shoes, were her daughters, Ethel and Penny. The girls flitted silently through the motel room into the adjoining bathroom which connected with their own bedroom. Valerie heard the faint click of a latched door.
In that first quick glimpse Valerie thought her heart had stopped beating. She was afraid she was going to faint. Then adrenalin-charged blood thudded through her veins in violent emotional reaction. "Mark!" she got out in a choked voice from a throat that felt both dry and constricted. "Oh, Mark!"
He flopped over instantly, turning to face her. "What is it, Val? Leg cramp? Let me rub it."
"Ohhhh, n-no!" she whimpered. Her lungs felt seared; she had no breath. "The girls-" She couldn't bring herself to say it.
He looked at his watch. "You're right. We probably should get going."
She buried her face in his hairy chest, unable to look him in the face. "The girls were in the c-closet, Mark, watching! They s-saw what I d-did!" She drew a long, quivering breath. "They heard what I s-said! Ohhhh, Mark, what am I going to do?"
"Whale their asses," he said promptly. "But are you sure? I didn't see or hear a thing."
"I saw them," Valerie moaned miserably. "Oh, God, I frenched you, and-and the things we said-" She started to cry, great choking sobs that racked her plump body.
Mark took her in his arms comfortingly.
"Goddammit, I'm not going to have them spoiling our relationship!" he said irritably.
Valerie tried to catch her sobbing breath. "H-how am I going to make them understand that the s-self-restraint I've been-I've been preaching to them d-doesn't apply to a m-married woman in bed with her h-husband!" she wailed.
"Smart-assed little dumplings, aren't they?" Mark said. "Listen, we can't let them get away with it. I'm not going to have you skulking around ashamed to look them in the face. We'll go in their room right now and pin the tail on those donkeys. I'll do the talking. And the acting, if necessary. We'll play it by ear. You just back me up."
He placed an arm firmly around his wife's shaking shoulders, assisted her to her feet, and began handing her the scattered articles of clothing from his undressing of her.
