Cooking Up Trouble free porn video

Jack walked into the bedroom, surprising his wife. “Wow, you look awesome, I thought it was Caribbean Cooking Class tonight.”

“It is.”

“Isn’t that lace wasted under your chef uniform?

A nervous giggle escaped Amy’s lips, “The class is kind of competitive, you know, all those women together. I have to be on my A game. The lace gives me a lift, even if they can’t see it.” She gave him a quizzical grin. “Guys don’t get it, it’s a girl thing.”

“I wish you’d wear that for me now and then.”

“Aw,” she said. “Jealous of a cookery class?” Damn, she thought, I have to be more careful.

She heard him say, “Don’t let my Mother lead you astray,” as he left the room. What did he mean?

~~~~

 Her chef uniform was custom tailored to show off her figure, an extravagance she’d allowed herself after the first class. There was no way she was going to be upstaged by her rich mother-in-law.

Two hours later the class dismissed but Amy and Jack’s mother hung back talking to the chef. At six foot three, he cut a striking figure. The white of his uniform accentuated his mahogany skin and the loose check chef-trousers somehow hid and hinted at what was underneath.

“That was great, thanks for the session,” Amy purred.

“Did it meet your expectations, Diane?” he said, turning to Jack’s mum.

“That depends,” she said.

“On what?”

“On your stamina. There’s two needy women here that want satisfaction before they go home.”

“Guaranteed," he said, "and I’ve got a special treat for you tonight, Errol’s going to assist.”

“Your sauce-master? I can’t wait,” said Amy. “Are we going upstairs?”

“That’s where he’s waiting.”

Upstairs, Diane removed her uniform, revealing an under-bust corset and sheer black stockings. In the apartment above the restaurant they knew the way to the bedroom and, in a few seconds, the door opened to reveal a large black man lying on the bed. His chef jacket was partly unbuttoned and the trousers had gone.

The two women exchanged glances for a second before their eyes were drawn back to Errol’s long fat cock, lying on his abdomen like a sleepy rabbit waiting to be awakened. Somehow his physique and skin tone were accentuated by the starched whiteness of the uniform.

"I can’t resist that look," whispered Diane to Amy. "Can I wake up that beast while you start on Chef?"

~~~~

Jack was reading by the bedside light when he heard Amy come home. He closed his book, dimmed the light and shut his eyes. Amy crept into the bedroom, clearly thinking he was asleep.

She took off her dress, revealing that the lace panties were no more, though the matching bra was intact. She slid naked into her side of the bed.

”What happened to the knickers? I was looking forward to them.”

Caught for a moment, she hesitated. “I tore them,” she said, remembering Chef’s big hands ripping them apart. “Stupid really, I shouldn’t go to classes in those shoes. I had to pee and caught a heel in them.”

“I hope that was after the class.”

“It was,” she giggled, relieved, thinking that she’d gotten away with the excuse.

Jack reached over and pulled her towards him.

“If there’s no knickers to play with I guess I’ll have to settle for the real thing.”

In a moment he was kissing her. His hands were all over her and there was nothing she could do to resist. She’d taken Chef and Errol twice each, orgasmed each time and her body was still buzzing.

Despite his enthusiasm, Jack was gentle, his fingers playing with her clit before he slowly penetrated her.

She found herself holding her breath — would he notice? Why hadn’t she used condoms? That thought vanished as fast as it came — condoms with those guys? No chance. Would Jack notice the sloppy seconds? Seconds? What was she thinking? Fifths was what he was getting.

“You’re up for it tonight,” he said. “Very moist. You should keep your mind on cookery.”

She struggled, feeling guilty, desperate not to be found out but needing to come yet again just to allay suspicion.

She could fake it of course, but Jack was good at knowing that. Why did he have to be so loving and gentle? If he’d just fuck her like Chef and Errol he’d never know. She could get on top and control things, of course — but did she dare? Who knew what might leak out if she did that.

His hand crept down, playing with her again and she felt her heat rising. She wrapped an arm around his neck, pulled him down and kissed him so hard she took his breath away. Her tongue was relentless as she felt her orgasm coming. The cooks didn’t do this, they fucked her with their big cocks but Jack made love. As he pushed towards his satisfaction she felt him deep inside her. Among all the conflicting emotions running through her head, she found herself comparing cocks. Jack’s was at least as big as Chef and almost in Errol’s class.

Why was she fucking cooks when Jack was physically just as good and loved her too? Diane, that was the problem. Jack’s mother who couldn’t resist big cocks or uniforms, who egged her on and treated fucking like a sport. Did Jack know his mother was a hotwife? Did he know his dad was a cuckold?

They came almost together and an exhausted relief swept over her.

“That was so good,” she said and meant every word of it.

Jack eased himself off her, attentive to the last.

Does he know his Dad’s a cuckold? she thought, feigning sleep. Does he know he’s a cuckold? God, I hope not. Crazy thoughts ran around her head for hours while she thanked her stars that Jack had dozed off.

~~~~

It took another three weeks before Jack was certain. Amy was more careful with her knickers the next time but that was a clue as well. She leaked, so all he had to do was get a look at the evidence before her things went in the wash. After that it was simple. His dad owned the building, that’s how his mum had discovered the classes, they might even have been her idea.

No one at the place knew him so a visit, clutching an impressive clipboard ostensibly to check on fire precautions, was a pushover. He insisted on fitting new alarms. The infrared settings on the cameras detected fires but they also recorded what went on in all the rooms and they filmed in the dark too.

The third week he sat at home, logged into the alarm system and watched Amy and his mother get screwed by Chef and another guy with a big cock, Errol. It was fun to watch his own private porn film. White uniforms and black skin, big cocks and willing women, what’s not to like? Apart from being played for a fool.

He printed some pictures, saved some video and planned ahead. He checked other nights but saw nothing similar; most days Chef and Errol were too busy running the restaurant.

Did he mind? he asked himself over and over. She was enjoying herself, as was his mother. Was she likely to leave him? No — a chef in a start-up restaurant didn’t have that much pull.

She should have told him, that’s what rankled; should have asked him. It did confirm what he’d always suspected about Mum. Did Dad know? He guessed so, and maybe it suited him, left him more time to get on making money.

The next cook day, as he called it, Monday to everyone else, he was ready.

After Amy set off for the class, he got to work. He rapidly assembled the extra guest bed in the garage, putting it where his car would have sat. All the house locks were electronic, so he wiped the codes and put in new ones; he knew Amy had never learned the master default, never written it down or bothered with the details.

He put a sheet and a duvet on the bed and a small fan heater nearby. He plugged it in and checked that it worked.

Back in the house, he printed off a dozen shots of Amy fucking the cooks and copied the juiciest bits of movie. He put a spare TV and video in the garage on a table at the end of the bed, stuck the prints all over the inside of the garage door and loaded the video selection.

He locked the door from the garage into the house and bolted it on the house side. After that, he packed a bag of things to last him a week if need be. He killed all the power to everything except the heating, the garage, and the alarms. He let himself out of the darkened house and headed for his parents' place.

His dad was in the den, a movie on TV and account books all over the floor. Jack put a bunch of flowers into a vase, set them on the kitchen table and strolled along to the den.

"Hi dad," he said from the doorway.

"Hey, son, a nice surprise. To what do we owe the pleasure?"

"I’m moving back for a few days; my room still empty?" he said, turning away as he spoke.

"Uh huh."

Jack ran up the stairs, knowing that his dad never listened if the account books were opened. Jack unpacked his clothes and checked the other things he’d brought. A glance at his watch told him he had half an hour to wait before the explosions started.

He heard his mother come in. He opened the door a crack to be able to hear what happened next. She came upstairs and he heard the shower start. Ten minutes later she emerged in a bathrobe and went downstairs.

"Arthur, who are these flowers from?"

"Jack called in."

"Did he say why?" Was there a hint of anxiety in her voice?

"Sorry love, I wasn’t really listening."

Jack ambled downstairs. No call from Amy yet — another five minutes maybe. His mother had headed for the den in the basement, so Jack raided the fridge and found a beer. He listened carefully, waiting for a moment of silence and then banged the kitchen door loudly and headed back upstairs. When he was three steps from the top he waited, mother ought to see him in a moment.

He heard the door, caught a whiff of her perfume and immediately climbed the last three stairs and stepped into his room. He settled into the armchair, cracked his beer and waited.

The phone rang. Ideally, he should have found a closer spot to listen, but, assuming this was Amy, he could guess the script. Jack carried on reading his book and waited. Twenty minutes later his father appeared.

Jack smiled, closed his book and waited.

"Your mother’s upset."

"Uh huh."

"Son…"

"Are you wanting to use this room?"

"What?"

"You said Mum was upset. Is she kicking you out of the bedroom?"

"Uh, no… she wants me to talk to you."

"Talk away."

"What are you going to do?"

"About what?"

"About Amy."

"It depends. I haven’t decided, but it’s none of your business, Dad."

"Mum’s upset."

"I’m surprised."

"You’re surprised?"

"Do you know what Mum and Amy were doing?"

There was a long pause. His father looked back along the corridor towards where Jack guessed his mother was standing.

"Well… yes."

"So she tells you about it?"

His father’s frown lightened a little. He nodded.

"I guessed," Jack said, "you know. When I was a kid, I guessed."

"I thought you might have."

"It’s none of my business, Dad. That’s between you and Mum."

"But what about Amy?"

"What about Amy?"

"Your Mum’s upset. She likes Amy, they’re close. They tell each other everything."

"How do you know?" For a second Jack looked right at his father, saying nothing until he had his attention.

"How do you know, Dad? Does Amy talk to you?"

“No, no, the two of them talk. Di told me, they’re really very close, they tell each other everything.”

"Lucky Mum. You’d better go and fetch her."

"Um… I—"

"Fetch her, Dad. You and I don’t have much to talk about. I’m not trying to be awkward Dad. This is about Mum and Amy. Please go and get Mum and then leave us alone. I think this may take a while don’t you?"

His father looked relieved, business he could do, but family was a nightmare.

"Sure son. I’ll get her."

"I’ll tell you about it tomorrow Dad."

"You think it’s going to take all night?"

"It might. You comfy in the den?"

Jack relaxed back into his chair, took another swig of beer and waited. He heard voices at the other end of the house but made no effort to eavesdrop. His mother appeared a few minutes later.

"Close the door please, Mum."

She shut the door.

"Jack, what do you think you’re doing?"

"I could ask you the same question."

"What do you mean?"

"You know damn well. You tempted Amy into these cooking sessions and I bet you knew from the start you were going to get it on with Chef, whatever his name is."

"It—"

"It wasn’t like that? It wasn’t your idea? Is that what you were going to say?"

He stood, walked over to her, wrapped his arms around her, squeezed a hug but didn’t let go.

"I know Mum. I get it all," he whispered in her ear, softly, without aggression. "You fuck around and Dad lets you do it. You’ve done it for years. You thought it might be even better if Amy joined you but it wasn’t you sharing Amy, it was me." His voice in her ear hardened. "At what point did you think it was a good idea to fuck up my marriage?"

She stood, silent, stunned. She tried to push him away with her hands so that she could see him properly. He let her, but as he moved back, she realised that he’d undone the belt of her robe and his other hand had taken it off her shoulders. When there was an arm’s length between them he was holding her gown and she was standing naked.

"You’re keeping well Mum," he said.

She reached out to take the gown but he stepped away.

"Don’t. It’s more honest this way." He took another step back and sat in the armchair, still holding her robe.
“You seem to get naked for everyone else, I thought I’d see what I was missing."

“I don’t strip for everyone, don’t exaggerate.”

“My mistake mother. Good to know you have standards. Judging by recent form, it looks like some kind of uniform and a big cock is needed. Is it both or either?”

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Jack reached behind him, picked up a couple of pictures and handed them to her.

"We need to talk. I’ve told Dad not to disturb us. You’ve got him well trained, he’s gone back to his den."

"How did you get those?"

"I told the guys at the restaurant that new fire alarms were needed. Infrared enabled cameras. They take good pictures don’t they."

"Oh."

"Dad said you were worried about Amy.  Don’t worry, she’ll be safe enough."

"Sleeping in the garage?"

"Safe enough. I left a heater. Of course, she can’t have a shower or change clothes, so she gets the full slut experience."

"When did you find out?"

"A few weeks back. Plenty of time to get organised."

"Why didn’t you say?"

He laughed. "I had to be sure, and then so many things fell into place."

"Like what?"

"Like what a slut you are. This wasn’t a one-off, that was so obvious. Anyone watching would know you’d done this a hundred times. Amy was nervous, but she was taking cues from you."

"She enjoyed herself."

"Yeah, I guess but would she have done anything if you weren’t there?"

There was a long silence, Diane’s gaze looking anywhere but at Jack.

"Shall I call her and ask?" he said.

"Well, you know what she’d say."

"And what would that be?"

"She’ll say what you want to hear."

"Implying that she’d lie to me?"

"Well, no, but if you put her on the spot…"

"So, what you’re saying is that I should divorce her because she’s a lying slut."

Diane burst into tears. Jack took another swig of beer and waited.
 
Eventually, she sobbed, "You’re cruel."

"I’m not mum. I’m trying to put my life back together while you insist on trying to screw it up. Did you want me for yourself?"

That stopped her in her tracks.

"Let me guess. Dad doesn’t do it for you. He makes a lot of money, gives you a great life but he doesn’t do it for you, so you fuck around. Fine. Not my problem, but don’t mess with me and Amy."

"It was just fun."

"Dangerous fun. No safety, no condoms. You let them tie you to the bed, no safe-words. Anything could have happened."

"I trusted them and Arthur knew where we were."

"Ah yes, Arthur knew."

He frowned, staring at her for a second. "Arthur knew... but I didn’t. Why didn’t Amy tell me?"

"She was going to."

"Eight weeks I make it and if last week is anything to go by that’s well over a dozen fucks and maybe thirty orgasms."

"Is that what this is all about?"

"It’s not trivial Mum. I was deceived, cheated on, she could have got pregnant."

"She’s on the pill."

"It doesn’t always work. Is that what happened with me?"

"What?"

"Oh come on Mum. I look like you but I don’t look like Dad and I have a built-in tan, unlike either of you. He’s a good dad and I love the old coot to bits, but who was my sperm donor?"

Diane’s face went pale and for a second she closed her eyes.

"Let me guess," he said. "A guy with a uniform and a big cock? Irresistible was he? So Dad went along with it, but drew a line."

"What do you mean?"

"Mum stop playing me. It’s not working." He got up and carefully pointed a finger at a small scar on her belly. "Laparoscopic sterilisation, I’d know that scar anywhere. So Dad agreed to raise me. You had your tubes tied and became a hotwife. A good deal all around. Is that what you planned for Amy and me?"

"I’m sorry," she said. "I should have made her tell you."

"It was her decision not to. That’s why she’s sleeping in the garage. Did you tell her I was here?"

"No, not yet. Arthur may have."

"I kind of doubt it. Did I get the story right?"

"Pretty much."

"So my sperm donor, what was he like?"

"Like you said."

Jack stood up and slowly stripped.

"You’re not…"

"Definitely not. I’m not breaking the law."

"You’re just trying to get me going."

He stood at the end of the bed for a minute.

"All I’m doing is showing you what you are. Since I stripped you haven’t taken your eyes off my cock. You really can’t resist can you."

"Bastard."

"Well, that’s it exactly isn’t it? I am your bastard son. You can call me that any time you like. Does anyone else know?"

He looked at her for a long minute, fixing his gaze on her until, eventually, she smiled.

"You win," she said.

"And how do I compare?"

"Yeah, you take after him."

"That’s what I wanted to know," he said, taking his bathrobe from the wardrobe and wrapping it around himself.

"Am I bigger than Chef?"

"Yeah, bigger than Chef but Errol maybe has you beat."

"But he only came on the scene later on, so why was she going for Chef?"

 "Honey," she said, "I was showing her how and anyway it’s not like that, you can’t tell for sure until you see it and even then, until you get to it you don’t know for sure. That’s the fun, finding out, feeling it grow."

"I wish she’d asked me."

"That’s what you’re pissed about?"

"Did you ask Dad the first time?"

"No."

"And how did that go?"

"Badly," she said, shaking her head. "It made me feel horny and awful at the same time and then I was crazy enough to do it again. When he did discover I almost lost him."

"So how did you persuade him?"

"It was what gave us you."

"You mean I came from your first hotwife fuck?"

"Mmmm. Ridiculous isn’t it. I got pregnant and it could have been Arthur or the soldier."

"Did he have a name?"

"Sorry love."

Jack laughed. "Okay, so Dad — Arthur went along with it."

"Sort of, yes, I mean we had sex all the way through pregnancy, before he knew, but it was disappointing sex. Arthur’s not much good and he’s small. We put it down to the pregnancy, I mean that was kind of our excuse."

"But you knew he didn’t do it for you.”

“Not with his cock, but there’s so many other things I love about him and his tongue’s something else.” She took a deep breath. "It would help if you could play with me while you’re grilling me."

"No chance. It’s against the law and Amy wouldn’t like it."

"Amy says you’re very gentle."

"Is that it? Did I get that wrong? She likes it rough?"

"Some of the time."

"And you?"

"Some of that and some, well some of everything really."

"Some of Dad’s tongue?"

"Bastard."

"So when did he guess?"

"It took a while."
 
"A year?"

"Longer than that. Once you were old enough for nursery."

"So you could fuck around while I was being looked after."

Yeah," she said, sighing.

"My Mum’s a slut who can’t get enough." He paused as a devious grin crept across his face. "Things are going to be different," he said. "A lot different."

She sighed, maybe she said yes, maybe it was just a sigh.

"You can carry on fucking around but I want to see more care. Play safer. You might have known a bit about Chef, but neither of you knew much about Errol."

"Amy said you had great sex when she came home."

"Yeah, so I’ve had my cock in his spunk at least the last four Mondays. When I found out it was too late to worry. That’s history, both of you are going to behave in future."

"Or what?"

"Punishment and tests. You get tested and you get punished."

"Punished?" she said and he could hear the desire in her voice.

"Yeah," he said. "Bondage, whipping, nipple clamps and maybe some whoring out."

Her face was a picture, lust and anxiety fighting each other.

"You’d do that to me?"

"Better to hire someone. I’ll tell Arthur of course, but he’ll do what cuckolds do won’t he."

"You mean like suck cocks?"

He laughed. "He does that for your studs?"

"He has done."

Jack sat shaking his head.

"Shouldn’t you be going back to Amy?"

"A bit longer will do her good."

"Jack."

"She’s safe enough."

"She was in tears on the phone."

"Hang on," he said. "If you’re worried we can see how she’s doing."

He picked up his phone and hit up a web page.

"You’ve got your garage bugged?"

"Mum, I had three weeks to get ready." There was a pause as the page flickered and then he smiled. "Right now she’s asleep," he said. "If you watch carefully you can see she’s breathing."

He moved the phone close to Diane’s face.

"See?"

"Mmmm, yeah, okay," she said. "So you’re going to be the man of the house now?"

"And you’re the resident whore."

"Where does Amy fit in?"

"So you’re not arguing with the whore part?"

"Whore, sex slave, yeah, I deserve it How do you see that working?"

"I figure on moving back here with Amy. You have acres of room and I want to be sure about what you’re up to."

He watched her face, waiting for the protest and fought to suppress a smile when there wasn’t one.

"So you’re happy if I call the shots?"

"If Arthur agrees."

"That matters to you?"

She almost cried again. "He lets me. He could have thrown me out. I do love him."

"But he’s no good in bed."

"He’s good in bed, he’s a lovely man, but his cock is not up to it. Why are you doing this?"

"I’m not taking any more risks with you. You should never have dragged Amy into this and for that, you have to pay. I know it’s hopeless to expect you to stop behaving like a whore, so I figure it’s best for everyone if we make that your job."

"So how does it work," she said, sitting up in bed for the first time and squeezing her legs together."

"You spend every day, all day naked and anyone that comes here who wants to fuck you, fucks you. If you have to go out, to fuck a chef or something then either Arthur or I will dress you and take you."

He reached into his bag.

"First you need a collar." He wrapped a black leather collar around her neck and padlocked it at the back. After that, he fitted leather cuffs on her wrists and ankles.

She stood and turned immediately to see herself in the mirror on the wardrobe.

"Well?"

"I look awesome don’t I."

"You’re into uniforms, now you’ve got your own — a sex slave’s uniform. Do me a favour Mum," he said. "Go downstairs and introduce Dad to your new life. I’m going to sleep for a while before I collect Amy."

"What about Amy, what will you do?"

"I have some ideas, but we need to talk."

~~~~

Diane walked downstairs, jauntily at first and then with increasing anxiety as she got near to the den. The TV was still running. Standing in the doorway she didn’t recognise the movie. Arthur was horizontal on the couch and from the doorway behind him, she couldn’t tell if his eyes were open. Maybe she could just creep back upstairs…

Arthur pushed himself up on his elbows and turned to look at the door. Damn, she thought, the light behind me, I should have killed it.

"Oh hi," said Arthur. "Jack finished with you?"

She had no choice now, she had to step into the room.

"Well, that’s a new outfit."

"He’s punishing me."

"Quite right too."

"I have to wear this all the time at home."

"Exciting."

"It doesn’t change anything between us."

"No, of course not," he said, his voice laden with disbelief.

"Oh fuck," she said.

"Did he?"

"No."

"I bet you wished he did."

"He’s got too much self-control."

"Well, it does change things."

She knelt at the side of the couch, leaned over and released his cock from his bathrobe. She looked at him, smiled and took it in her mouth. After a minute when it was erect she looked up again.

"It’s not going to get any bigger is it."

"No, but I quite fancy you dressing like this all day."

"Your little cock will be rock hard, poor you."

"I could invite some mates around."

"What about your work?"

"I’ve got enough to retire, Jack could run the business, so could Amy for that matter, My joints are not up to golf. If you dress this way all my mates will want to come over."

“Mates?”

“Specially invited guests; but they’d be best mates afterwards and want to come again. I could insist they wore uniforms…”

"I think for now my new uniform is enough. Did Jack tell you he wants to move in here."

"With Amy?"

"I think so."

"And you still think nothing will change?"

She sighed. "You’re right. Everything will be different. I’m a sex slave and you’re the house eunuch, though you’re not fully qualified."

"You want to cut off my balls as well as everything else you’ve done to me?"

"No love, only joking. I couldn’t do that. I love you but I do think you ought to be naked and maybe in a chastity cage. That would give your new friends the right message and keep you permanently horny."

"You’re relishing this aren’t you.”

"Mmmm. It’s going to be hell for you isn’t it, seeing me like this all the time. Jack said anyone who comes here can fuck me. Can you cope?"

"I’ll get to watch."

"Would you like that?" she looked at him, grinned and knelt back down to take his cock. "Stupid question," she said.

~~~~

Jack slept until six, woke up, checked his parents' bedroom and saw the two of them asleep, left a note and set off home. He parked in the street, walked silently up to the house, let himself in, turned on the power, reset the locks and then checked the garage video to see what Amy was doing. She was fast asleep. He eased open the door and waited as the change in air flow made Amy open her eyes.

"Hey," he said.

Her eyes fixed on him for a moment and then she rolled over, facing away from him, pulling the duvet over her head.

Jack switched on the light and moved carefully around to the other side of the bed, pushed the duvet across to make some space and sat down, waiting. After a minute the bedding moved and half a face appeared.

She was a mess, she hadn’t been able to wash and her makeup was smeared with tears. Her hair was a tangled wreck.

"Sorry?" she said, barely more than a whisper, rising at the end of the word as if to say 'is that the right thing to say?'

He leaned down and kissed her. "Was it fun?" Silence. "Sorry," he said. "Stupid question, it must have been."

"Are… are you—"

"Mad? No. Disappointed, yes. You could have told me."

He pushed the duvet back so he could see more of her.

"Yes," she said, her voice flat, regretful, the sound barely making it out of her lips.

"I get it," he said. "The first time was a surprise, and then well, it was only a dozen classes, you were with my Mum and there was no way she was going to stop, so it must have felt like permission. Did you think you’d make it to the end of the classes and figure what to do after that?"

"Your mum…"

"I’ve sorted her out."

There was something in his voice, solid, final. She sat up.

"What?"

"I’ve told her she’s a whore and told her that her new job is being a sex slave for the house."

She started to sit up, pulled the duvet towards her and then let it fall, sitting up naked in bed.

"What am I?"

"What are you?"

"An unfaithful wife, a slut?"

"Yeah," he said. "All of that but something else too."

"Your… um… ex-wife?"

He laughed. "No. You’re the woman I love," he said. "Things will be different. I want to move in with mum and dad, but you’ll be the mistress of the house."

"What will your dad say?"

"Yes ma-am, I think."

She laughed. "Really, just like that, you forgive me?"

"Up to a point. I need to know why. I need to know if you love me, I need to know if you’ll have to do this all the time."

"You mean like your mum?"

"Yeah, sort of. I know she can’t help herself, but—“

“I don’t want to do it all the time. I’m not your mum.”

“Some of the time?”

“Oh darling, I’m sorry.”

“I just need to know.”

“Will you ever trust me again?”

“Are you trustworthy?”

“I don’t know darling. Three months ago I’d have said yes, but now I don’t know. I fell into it.”

“Because of my mum?”

“Well yes, I guess, partly. The thing is I knew I shouldn’t and then I knew I ought to tell you, I simply couldn't figure out how.”

“Mum said she told you to tell me.”

Amy laughed. “Yeah, she did, she made it sound easy, but she’d been doing it to your dad for twenty-five years. I had no idea where to begin.”

Amy sat back on the bed, this time there was no explosion of tears. This time she gradually collapsed.

“I’ve ruined everything.”

Jack stood looking at her, waiting until she wiped her eyes.

“Maybe it’s not that bad.”

“How can you trust me if I can’t trust myself?”

“I think that’s the clue. I sort of expected you’d say that.”

“Go on.”

“Hear me out. There could be two reasons; the first is cynical, it’s the best excuse — or, it could be true. Either way, I have an idea. If I always knew where you were, would you mind?”

“You mean sort of tracking me.”

“Yeah, like when people are on ankle tags instead of prison.”

“You can buy those?”

“Sure, it looks like this.”  He pulled a device out of his pocket.

“I thought we could wrap it in something sexier looking."

"So I can go where I like but you’d know.”

“Yeah. What do you think?”

“How would you know if I was fucking someone.”

“I’m working on that. For now I figure any place you’re hanging around for a while, I can ask you.”

“Okay, for now anyway. It wouldn’t stop me lying, would it? How did you get all those pictures?"

"That was a special case," he said. "Let me show you this." He flicked on his phone, dialled up the garage camera and showed her.

"You bugged this place?"

"I had to be sure you were safe. I had to shock the hell out of you but I needed to be absolutely sure you were safe."

She fell into his arms and sobbed for a couple of minutes, eventually calming down enough to say, “That’s why I love you,” and after a few more sobs, “I’m so sorry. I should have told you straight away.” She wiped her cheeks, pushed the hair out of her eyes, pulled her shoulders back and faced him.

"What now?"

"We shower.“

“Is that thing waterproof?”

“Supposed to be.”

“Put it on me please.”

"What will you say if someone asks what it is.”

“I’ll say I’m on probation."

“How long is your sentence?”

“Life?”
