Chapter 17

"You did exactly what Mother has been wanting for a long time," said Gwen gaily, as she looked down on them both.

"Now Gwenneth, that's not-" began Lilly, but her daughter cut her off.

"Of course it is, Mother," she said, smiling. "Don't be ashamed of being a woman-a real woman! Now I know you are!"

"Yes," said Lageule, in his most Gallic manner, nodding his head vigorously up and down. "You are a deeply passionate, sensual, responsive woman. It was a joy for me, and I hope it was the same for you ... ?" He looked down at Lily, his black eyes probing deep into the depths of her blue ones.

"Well ... " said the older woman. "I admit that I am rather passionate ... "

"You sure are!" said Gwen with a wink.

"Yup!" agreed Lageule.

Lily shivered all over, and giggled with delight. "But all the same ... " she began doubtfully, "I don't feel that my own daughter should have ... intimate ... knowledge of all my affairs ... "

Lageule hugged her affectionately.

"But Mother," said Gwen, "it's not all your affairs-this is your first one!"

"I did not mean it in that literal sense," sniffed Lily.

"Of course not," said Lageule gallantly, "but I do gather, from this conversation, that your husband is-uh-deceased, or at least ... "

"Yup," said Gwen. "Dad's a drunken slob."

"Gwenneth!" said Lilly, "that is no way to speak of your own father!"

"Well, he isn't very-active-in bed, you have to admit, Mother. I mean, can't we be frank about it?"

"Well ... " began Lilly, and Lageule started to nuzzle her cheek and neck, "well, yes, you're right."

"You've just needed a real man, all this time, to match your own vitality," said Lageule, his hand fondling her enormous ripe breasts. He played with the nipples between thumb and forefinger, as they bobbled up, pert and hard, in his hands.

"So ... " crooned Lageule in Lily's neck, "are we all friends now"' Lily nodded, Gwen smiled. Lageule felt a tingle of renewed excitement, at the idea which had suddenly popped into his head. He looked from mother to daughter, from daughter to mother, and the excitement built up inside of him.

What would happen next? Would they ... would it be ... could he ... the two of them, together??

He remembered Gwen's account, from earlier in the evening, of the episode with her brother ... Gwen had never finished that story, but he had gathered from her voice that something else had ensued, that Gloria and Myron had come upon the two of them ... and that the four of them had screwed together!

Even if he were only imagining it in her tone of voice, nevertheless the possibility was here, now ... In spite of all the exercise he had already had, he knew he could man-age something as exotic as that!

"Well," Lily was saying contentedly, "I think that tea you offered would taste good now, dear."

She stood up and plumped herself, still totally naked, onto the sofa.

Lageule, slightly disappointed, got up also. Anyway, it would be worth it, even if he had to wait a while.

Dimly he became aware of the stereo playing-a Beatles' song, called "A Day In The Life."

Certainly a suitable theme-song, thought Lageule to himself with a chuckle-what a day this had been! He felt like a wholly new person, he felt that he'd been given a new lease on life-or more accurately, that he had finally begun to learn how to live. Yes, that was it-for the first time, he knew what it was like to feel really, fully, vitally, alive!

He chuckled with pleasure, and patted Lily's plump knee affectionately. She looked over at him, and smiled sweetly, her blue eyes languorous and sensual.

"You know ... " Lageule began, in his most-French of accents, "I have a good idea for some fun ... later on ... "

Lily giggled. "Oh, tell me," she beamed.

Lageule grinned and shook his head mysteriously. "Nope, Non. You'll see, when the time comes."
