He looked at his arm where that bitch had got him; there were two long, deep furrows down his bicep almost to his elbow; already the blood was flowing. His own damn fault, he shouldn’t have untied her wrists before he had the restraints fitted. But he hadn’t expected the drugs to wear off so quickly.
Until she had scratched his arm, everything had gone perfectly. He found her sitting in the beer garden; he sat next to her, and was able to slip the pill into her drink. It took just fifteen minutes to take effect; when she was groggy, he picked her up, and carried her to his car. He explained to a couple walking past ‘my girlfriend had a bit too much to drink’ as he put her in the passenger seat. From there, he carried her onto the boat, put her on the bed. That was his first mistake; he should have attached the wrist and ankle restraints right away. He wouldn’t make that mistake again.
But he was in too much of a hurry, wanting to fuck her straight away. He pulled her clothes off; admired her lovely puffy nipples – they were so sexy to suck – and her neatly trimmed pussy. Funny how even when women were unconscious their bodies would still react; her nipples were all swollen, and as soon as his tongue touched her slit, her pussy started getting wet. Wet enough to allow him to fuck her tight wet cunt while he held her down, face first on the bed.
It was only later, when he remembered that he hadn’t restrained her, that the trouble started. He was able to get the Velcro straps around her ankles attached to the ropes, but when he cut the tape binding her wrists, she lashed out, scratching his arm deeply. A quick backhander stunned her, giving him time to attach the rope clips to the restraints on her wrists.
“You fucking bitch,” he spat at her. “You little fucking cunt bitch! You’ll regret that!”
He had slapped her again, for good measure, before fucking her hard; pulling his cock out from her cunt just before he came, so he could spurt all over her tits. He left her on the bed crying, and he went to dress his wounds. From the first aid kit he pulled out some betadine, cotton wool, and a bandage. He winced as he dabbed the antiseptic on the scratch; and used the cotton wool to wipe up the blood. He cut a piece of cotton and doubled that over to make a pad, he put that on his arm and wrapped it with a bandage to hold it in place. At least he wouldn’t bleed all over the place now.
‘What to do with the little slut next?’ he asked himself. He had already fucked her twice; but he really wanted to make her cry out in pain; to get her begging for mercy. He decided to torment her; show her how much she enjoyed being sexually abused. He went back into the bedroom; she was lying there, her legs spread wide open and her ankles firmly secured to the corners of the bed. He checked her wrists; they were still securely attached to the top of the bed, and then tied the black silk blindfold tightly around her head, preventing her from seeing.
He sat on the bed next to her, and started rubbing his fingers around her pussy.
“Funny, you women are all the same; you act as if you don’t want sex; that the very idea of having sex with guys like me repulses you,” he said to her softly, as his fingers spread her pussy lips apart. “But here you are, your pussy is all wet, and your cunt is ready and open for me. I can see that you are turned on, those sexy nipples are all puffed up; swollen and hard. You’re ready to be fucked, and you want it; despite what you say, you’re a sex-loving cum slut.”
“No, I’m not, I don’t want it, I don’t like you touching me there,” she protested. “I can’t help it if my body responds. No! Don’t stick your finger in there, please.”
“And why shouldn’t I put my finger in that lovely wet cunt of yours? In fact, I think I’ll put a second one up in that lovely wet cunt.”
He slid a second finger inside the woman; he pumped his fingers in and out slowly. As his fingers drew back out of her, he could see them all wet and slick, covered in her juices.
“Your cunt likes it when I finger her; I can see just how wet she is getting. And what have we here?”
He spread her lips apart at the top of her pussy, exposing her swollen clit. He placed a finger on that bud; rubbing around in a small circle.
“Don’t try to tell me you’re not aroused; your clit is all swollen up, and I think she might like some good licking.”
“No! Please don’t lick me there! I don’t like that, it’s filthy, disgusting!”
“Filthy and disgusting? Even if I make you come that way, you wouldn’t like it? I don’t believe you; I reckon your body is crying out, aching for some good, hard orgasms.”
He moved around, positioning himself between her legs. He slid the two fingers back inside her cunt, and moved his face up between her thighs, up close to her pussy. He could see her moisture coating her pussy lips; the lips all plump and swollen, spread open by his fingers pushing into her tight cunt. His tongue flicked out, lapping around her swollen clit, while his fingers pushed in and out.
“Please stop that,” she said. “I don’t want you touching me, or licking me ... oh God...” she groaned loudly. “I don’t ... oh yeah...”
Her protests were intermingled with sounds of pleasure; after a little while, she stopped futilely protesting, and the only sounds she uttered were groans of pleasure. When she came, she cried out loudly; her body jerking in spasms.
“So, my dirty little slut, did you enjoy that?” he asked her as he stood up.
“Yes ... no, I told you I didn’t want that,” she replied. “Can’t you understand? You just can’t grab someone, kidnap them, hold them prisoner, and use them for your perverted sexual pleasure. I guess now you think you have the right to fuck me, rape me.”
“I just might do that, now that your lovely cunt is wet and ready.”
“No! I don’t want you to ... I’ve never had a man before ... I’m still a virgin ... please...”
“So, you’ve never been fucked before? You’re lying to me. Remember, I’ve already fucked you twice, and if that sweet cunt of yours had never been fucked before today, then I’m the King of England. You have done nothing but lie to me right from the beginning; telling me you don’t get turned on, or you’ve never had sex before. I don’t even believe that your name is Elizabeth, either. I don’t like girls who lie to me.”
“No, I didn’t like about my name; it’s Elizabeth, I’m named after my grandmother.”
“Hum, well, you still lied to me about being a virgin, didn’t you?”
She nodded.
“And you pretended about not enjoying sex; not wanting me to touch your pussy, or to lick you.”
Again, she nodded.
“I don’t like lying sluts,” he said. “Sluts like you are fine, but when they lie ... They need to be taught a lesson.”
He pulled her blindfold off, and showed her the leather crop.
“Can you untie me?” she asked. “I really need to have a pee, and I don’t want to get it all over the bed. Untie me, and let me get to the head. I won’t try to escape, I promise.”
He unclipped the ropes from the restraints around her ankles; then grabbed the roll of gaffer tape, so he could tape her wrists together. He got one wrist undone, and as he was undoing the second wrist, she swung her arm around, hitting him across the face.
“You lying bitch,” he yelled at her as he slapped her face, hard.
Stunned, she didn’t resist as he taped her wrists together, and fastened a rope around her neck. He pulled her roughly to her feet, and grabbing the crop, pulled her out to the back deck of the boat.
“Fucking lying cunt!” he spat at her. “I won’t try to escape, I promise,” he mocked her. “That stupid stunt just earned you another six whacks, you little cunt.”
She staggered slightly as she followed him; he hadn’t realized that her legs would be stiff after being tied up on the bed for most of the day. She stumbled as he pulled her out of the bedroom; he paused to pull her to her feet.
“Come on, my filthy whore, you said you needed to pee...”
Once they were on the back deck of the boat, he pushed her against the steep stairs that ascended to the upper deck. Using the rope, he tied her hands to a high step; and each ankle to the bottom of the stairs, leaving her legs spread wide apart.
“Now, let me see...” he started saying. “There was the lying about being a virgin, lies about not enjoying oral sex, and not wanting to have your pussy touched. Then you scratched my arm, and hit my face just then. Now, how many hits with the crop does that deserve? Maybe I’ll start with twenty, and see how you are after that.”
“No ... you can’t hit me!” she cried out, on the verge of tears. “Aren’t you content with just raping me? I don’t want...”
“Just like you said you didn’t want me to lick that lovely wet pussy of yours? But when I licked it, you were as wet as the ocean, and had a big orgasm. Just another lie from you.”
He stood behind her; and swung the crop a few times; not hitting her though. He was making sure he had everything lined up, so the crop would strike her right across the round part of her buttocks. Before he swung to hit her, he rubbed the strap at the end of the crop between her legs, right on her wet pussy. Elizabeth (or whoever she was) squirmed, trying to pull away from the crop, but she was held too securely.
“Maybe I can make you come with this,” he said. “Would you like me to fuck your sweet little cunt with the end? Ram that up your cunt, have your juices make it all wet and slippery? You will need to be wet, my slutty Elizabeth, because after you get your beating, I’m going to fuck you; fuck that tight little cunt hard and deep.”
She was silent; maybe by now she had realized any protests were useless.
“Now I want you to count each hit out with me,” he said. “That’s not going to be too hard, now, is it? And when we both get to twenty, it will be over for the moment. Don’t forget to count though; because the twenty doesn’t start until you are counting.”
He moved into position behind her, swung his arm back, and then bought the crop sharply against her backside. He smiled as it made a satisfying slap.
“Oh FUCK!“ she cried out.
“I didn’t hear you count,” he said. “I’ll have to do that one again.”
“One...” she cried softly.
“Thwack!” the crop hit her again.
“Two...” she cried again.
By the time they had reached ten, her arse was criss-crossed with multiple red welts. The tears were streaming down her cheeks, but she kept her teeth gritted; not giving him the pleasure of showing her pain. The crop swung again.
“Eleven ... oh.”
“Twelve ... oh fuck, I’m pissing!”
Each time the crop hit her backside, she would spurt out a jet of pee.
“Fifteen. I told you I had to pee!”
“Sixteen ... ohhhh mmmmm”
There were no more sounds of pain mixed with the counting; just what appeared to be some groans of pleasure.
“Seventeen ... mmm yeah.”
The spurts of pee had now become just a trickle; there was a large yellow pool at her feet.
“Eighteen ... oh yes!”
“Nineteen”
“OH YES! Twenty!”
She gave a final groan, and her body hung limply, held up by just the ropes.
“Now, that wasn’t all that bad, was it?” he said, as he unfastened her ankles. “Just as well we did this out here; you pissed all over the deck, you dirty little slut. Do you always go around pissing yourself like that?”
She didn’t respond; she didn’t even try to struggle as he undid the clips from her wrists, and moved her across to the rail, wrapping a rope around it and fastening her to it. She was now held down, leaning out over the back rail of the boat, her legs spread wide, and her red arse sticking up high.
“Now, my slutty Elizabeth,” he said, whispering in her ear. “Now it’s time for me to fuck that lovely little cunt of yours. But you have saved yourself from one thing; I won’t be licking your pussy again right now; not with your piss all over it.”
He stood behind her, positioned his cock at her opening, grabbed her hips, and rammed into her. She grunted loudly as he slammed her body into the railing. He continued fucking her hard; forcing her down on the railing.
“I think when I come, I might spurt all over your back this time,” he said. “Although I could try to spurt on your face, and in your mouth.”
He kept fucking her; every so often she would let out what sounded like a moan of pleasure, although it was hard to tell. After a while he stopped; and unclipped her wrists and ankles. He pushed her down to the deck, reattached the ropes, and stood in front of her, pushing her head back. He rubbed his knob along her lips, and she tentatively pushed her tongue out, licking the tip of his knob.
“Now close your eyes, slut; I don’t want to hear your whining if my come gets in your eye.”
He stroked his cock, rubbing his shaft faster and faster.
“Now open that mouth of yours, get ready for my delivery.”
She opened her mouth, and licked his knob again.
“Ahhh, that’s a good little cum slut,” he said, as he started spurting. “Take it all; swallow my come, my dear little slut.”
She licked and sucked around his knob as he spurted; a little bit trickled from her lips, but she licked and caught that with her tongue.
“My, what a good slut you were,” he said. “If I could trust you not to bite me, I might actually let you suck my cock. Would you like that?”
“Yes, I would master, and I promise I wouldn’t bite you,” she said. “I want to suck your cock, and have you come in my mouth ... could you lick my pussy again, sometime?”
“Now that’s a better attitude,” he said. “Amazing what some firm strokes across the arse can do. I will have to rest and recover, so then we can do more fucking.”
“I would want that; I like you making me come, licking my pussy as you finger my cunt,” she said. “Elephant.”
AftermathJuly 23 – July 25, 1976
“Elephant,” Lori said.
I smiled at her, unfastened the clips attaching the ropes to the Velcro restraints, and removed the straps around her wrists and ankles. With a hand, I helped her to her feet.
“Do you think we can lie down on the bed, and cuddle?” she asked.
I took her hand, and we walked back into the cabin, through to the bedroom. She stopped at the head; washed her face in the basin, and rinsed her mouth out. I pulled back the bedcovers, and we slipped into bed, wrapped our arms around each other, and started kissing softly. It was a while before we felt like talking; we were content just kissing and touching each other.
After a while, I noticed all the nasty red welts across her backside, and I brushed my fingers across them. Lori winced, and drew her breath in sharply.
“Are you sore there?” I asked.
“Just a little,” she said. “I’ll be fine.”
“Let me put some lotion on there, I don’t want them getting worse; and becoming an open cut. I didn’t think I hit there all that hard.”
“It wasn’t hard, at least not too hard,” she said. “Did you know that you made me come doing that? First, I started peeing, and that felt so good; I squeezed my muscles tight with each stroke, and as I started spurting pee; I was so turned on ... I kept squeezing and relaxing my muscles, and, well, it just sort of happened; it sort of surprised me.”
“Let me attend to my handiwork on your arse, then we can talk about how it went,” I said.
I walked out to the main room, rummaged through the first aid kit, and found some wound cream.
“Lie there on your stomach; I’ll be gentle, I promise.”
I squeezed some of the cream onto my fingertips; and gently massaged it onto the red skin. I tried to be gentle and not press too hard; I could see Lori biting her lip, trying not to cry out from the pain. I felt really guilty; despite the fact that we had agreed beforehand to me doing that; with the crop. I just didn’t realize how much it would have hurt her, or even how hard I had been hitting her.
“Thanks, that does make it feel better,” she said. “So, what did you think of what we did? You were really good at playing your part; it was like you were completely transformed into someone else. That made it so much easier for me to get into my role, and get carried along with everything.”
“I guess I’m good at acting; all the work I’ve done singing stuff, getting into a role for songs has helped,” I said. “It was interesting, once I got into the role, I didn’t have to think much about what I was doing, my words and actions just seemed to come naturally. Maybe it came too naturally; the stuff with the crop, hitting you ... I think I enjoyed that too much.”
“What do you mean, ‘too much’?” she asked. “You were really good, believable, and you made me come doing that.”
“Looking back, it scares me just how easy it was for me to hit you. Not just the slaps across the face, after you scratched my arm, or hit me. But really beating you hard; your arse is covered in all these big red welts and bruises. I’ve never hit anyone, not a woman before, and I think any guy who beats up a woman is a scumbag; but ... there I was, doing exactly that. Does that mean I’ve got it in me to be a low-life wife beater?”
“That would never happen; we were following a script, playing roles. We had the safe word, and that worked perfectly. Don’t worry about my arse; I’ve had worse injuries sailing. I’ll be right by tomorrow. I’m more worried about your arm, where I scratched you; I’m so sorry about that. When I saw what I did; I almost called things off, but you had hit me, stunned me, and I thought you were okay.
“You know, at the start, you really scared me, just how menacing you were in that role. I wondered; at least play acting; whether you had taken other girls, other women before, and what might have happened to them. I was half-scared that you were not just going to rape me, but ... maybe you were the northern beaches rapist or something, and I would be found washed up somewhere, my throat slit. At least that’s how I told myself, how I acted and got into my role. I guess that’s why I fought so hard at the start, scratching you. But then I told myself that you were just following the script we had worked out, and nothing bad was going to happen to me.
“That’s when I let myself really get into it; and when you started stroking my pussy ... God, I wanted you to lick me, finger me. I could feel my wetness really flowing, I was so turned on. Anyway, I just let things take their course from there; it was everything I had hoped it would be; and so much more. Everything you did, what you said, how you did it; fuck, that really turned me on. I’m still so turned on, as soon as you feel up to it, I want us to go up to the sun deck, and I want you to make love to me really, really slowly; all evening.”
We climbed up to the sun deck, spread the big cushions over the deck, and lay down to let the last rays of the afternoon sun warm us. My body still hadn’t fully ‘recharged’ after the wild fucking I had given Lori – or was it Elizabeth – on the back deck. Still, lying there next to her, caressing her breasts, with the warm winter sun on our bodies soon started things stirring.
“Would it be more comfortable for you to get on top of me?” I asked. “Or you could lie on your tummy, and I could try to kiss your backside better.”
“Oh, I like the sound of that last suggestion,” she said, and rolled over.”
I pushed her legs gently apart so I could kneel between them, and I bent forward, supporting myself with my hands; my face just above her backside.
“Now, no farting while I’m here,” I said.
She burst out laughing. “I’m still a lady, remember! I don’t fart!”
“No, you just break wind. So none of that, farting, breaking wind, bottom burps or whatever you want to call it while I’m kissing your backside.”
She kept laughing.
“You’re so bad; Will Morris, if you keep that up then I will fart in your face, so there!”
“Let me go back downstairs, and get a cork to plug it up,” I said. “No, that’s no good; you’ll just blast that out and shoot me with it.”
“Was that a cork, or a cock to plug it up?” she said. “I’m not sure which I might prefer in there...”
I decided to let things drop, at some other time I might ask her what she would like pushed into her arsehole. Instead I kissed the red marks that covered her backside; I let my lips and tongue trace over the welts I had put there earlier. She squirmed as my fingers brushed along the inside of her thighs.
“You’re teasing me!” she said. “You were very keen to touch my pussy earlier today, why not now, for fuck’s sake?”
“There’s no rush, is there? Or will your pussy close up for the night once the sun sets?”
“Ohhhh ... you teasing bastard!” she exclaimed. “Here I am, as horny as all fuck, and you just want to delay things. You had your turn at being in control, and commanding me, now it’s my turn. Rub my pussy, finger my cunt!”
“Yes, Mistress, as you command,” I replied.
“You’d better, and make sure you do a damn good job, or I’ll have to go down and get that crop, see how it works on your bum!”
“Now that might be interesting,” I said, as my fingers stroked her wet slit. “Would you use the restraints, and tie me down?”
“Of course,” she replied. “Oh yes, right there, right around my clit!”
I rubbed just where she told me to; she squirmed under my fingers.
“Would you like to be tied down? What about blindfolded?”
“I think I would like that,” I replied. “Did you like it?”
“Fuck Yeah! Particularly the blindfold, that made all my other senses become even more aware. Couldn’t you tell just how turned on I was?”
“Maybe we can try that at home next week,” I suggested. “Do you think Janelle might like that? What about Jillian?”
“Janelle for sure, she would be into that. Not sure about Jillian, but we can suggest it to her. You ready for me now?”
She saw that my prick was erect and hard, and sat up, pushing me over onto the deck. She swung a leg over my body, positioning her crotch above my cock. She took it in a hand, and held it against her cunt.
“Ready?”
I nodded, and she descended on my prick, letting her wet cunt engulf me. When I was completely inside her, she sat still, squeezing her cunt muscles around my shaft. A crazy thought filled my head – what was the correct description for the muscles around a woman’s cunt; the muscles that Lori was so deliciously squeezing and releasing around my prick? Why did my mind think up such stupid trivia at times like these? Here I was, the most beautiful woman in the world, sitting on my lap, my cock inside her and the two of us making love, and I was thinking about names of muscles?
“I love how your cock fills my cunt like this,” she said. “My cunt loves your cock in her.”
I smiled, loving the way she would talk dirty to herself. She slowly rocked back and forward, letting her clit rub against the base of my cock; squeezing and relaxing those muscles (whatever their name was) as she fucked me. All the while, she caressed her breasts, squeezing her nipples to make them ever more swollen and harder.
“I love you cock deep in my cunt,” she said softly. “You are inside me, we are fucking, my cunt is filled with lovely cock, and soon you will come inside my cunt, filling me with your hot spunk.”
She was getting even more turned on; she started rising up and down on my shaft. Each time she would plunge down harder, as if she was trying to drive my cock even deeper inside her.
“I’m a dirty little cock-loving slut, my wet slutty cunt is filled with your cock, I love it when you are fucking your dirty little slut!”
She had taken to heart some of the things I had said to her while we were play-acting; it seemed to really turn her on. As she was fucking me, and reciting those words, she paused; crying out loudly as she came. Her orgasm didn’t stop her actions; as soon as it was over, she resumed her fucking, and the talking.
“My slutty cunt has just come; my cunt juice is flowing out over your cock. I want you to lick my pussy, suck in my cunt juice, and then I will kiss you, and taste my sexy girl juice on your lips and tongue. Lick my pussy; suck all my cunt juice up.”
She pulled off from my cock, moved up so she was straddling my face, and lowered her pussy to my mouth. I did what she asked me to do; licking and sucking her wet lips; taking lots of her lovely ‘girl juices’ into my mouth. She came again as I was licking her pussy and sucking on her clit; more of her juices flowed from onto my face and lips. I could feel the warm liquid trickling down my chin.
When she had finished coming; she moved lower, and leant forward, licking my face and kissing me deeply.
“Fuck, I taste so good,” she said. “I wish I was somehow triple-jointed; so I could lick my own pussy and taste my girl juice right from the source!”
“That would be sexy, seeing you lick yourself,” I replied. “Even watching another girl licking your pussy ... that would really turn me on.”
“You’ll get your chance soon; I’m sure both Jillian and Janelle will happily oblige you there; they both will give my cunt a damn good licking. Would you want to see me licking them, too?”
Before I could answer, she was back riding my cock.
“I could have a sixty-nine with each of them,” she said. “Taste their girl juices.”
The thoughts of Lori in a passionate sixty-nine with either Jillian or Janelle was incredibly arousing; I imagined that right after she did that, I could kiss her and taste the other girl’s juices on her lips; or taste Lori on the other one. Those images; and the sensations of Lori’s tight cunt sliding up and down on my prick were getting me close to coming.
“Lori, I’m very close...” I started saying.
In an instant, she was off me, and moved around to take my prick in her mouth, licking and sucking on my knob. The instant the tip of her tongue pushed against my pee hole, it was too late; I started erupting inside her mouth. Spurt after spurt burst inside her mouth, on her tongue; I came so much it started leaking around her lips.
Lori sucked as much of my come down her throat as she could; what extra leaked out of her mouth, she licked up with her tongue, or used her fingers to push the dribbles into her mouth. She then licked my cock clean, and lay down on my chest, cuddling up to my face. Neither of us felt the need to say anything; I just held her tightly against me, and we lay there as the sun went down.
Once the sun had set over the ridge and darkness descended; it became too cold to lie up on the deck, naked. We collected the cushions, and went back down into the main cabin. Lori began to heat up the food we had brought along for dinner, while I opened a bottle of wine. We sat at the main table in the cabin to eat.
“What if we weren’t in this cruiser, but say a fifty or sixty foot sailboat; like one of those big live-aboard ketches that are anchored off Bayview, and we were getting ready to sail across the ocean, maybe to Fiji or Tahiti? Would you like that?” she asked.
“That might be fun; I wonder how long it would take to sail there? What would happen at night? Would one of us always have to be awake, to steer?”
Lori talked a bit about how sailing boats are set up for long distance cruising; with auto pilots, navigation systems, and all that. We talked about just what we would do, if we were on a decent sized sailboat for a few months; how we would manage a supply of water and fresh food, ocean navigation, and what we would do if the weather got really bad. Before we realized it; the time was well after ten p.m.; we both yawned simultaneously, and then laughed. But it had been a long, tiring day; so we straightened up the galley area, and went to bed. We made a half-hearted attempt at love-making; but we both fell asleep partway through. At least I assumed we both did; I woke up in the middle of the night, still lying on Lori, my soft prick still inside her.
I tried moving inside her; I did get sufficiently hard to actually fuck her; but I was too tired to continue properly. As I drifted back to sleep, I imagined us on a boat sailing to Tahiti; we would spend all the time naked, and our bodies would be well tanned after several weeks sailing. I pictured Lori’s sexy breasts tanned a nice brown colour; matching her sexy arse.
We slept late in the morning; it was close to nine before we bothered to get out of bed. A thick fog surrounded the boat; I could barely see more than ten metres through it.
“I guess the water’s too cold to go swimming,” I said. “Brass monkeys for sure; maybe we could just have a shower?”
“Well, there’s not enough room for the two of us together in that little shower,” she said. “But we can take it in turns.”
We showered, not bothering to dress. I mean, who was going to see us out here, anyway?
“We don’t have to leave until after lunch; by then this fog should have lifted,” Lori said.
I certainly hoped that it was going to lift; overnight a thick fog had descended into the bay. It would certainly make navigation difficult, if not downright dangerous. Instead, we spent the morning lying around the cabin; kissing, touching, making love. Once the fog had lifted, around noon, we cleaned things up, and made our way back to Newport and Lori’s house.
Back at University; the second semester looked like it would be much the same as the first. Three subjects – physics, chemistry and math – continued on from the first semester; that’s why the mid-year exam results for those subjects were only an interim result. The same with Elec Eng 1; it was also a double credit subject; although this semester it would be concentrating on electronics. Engineering C was just a first semester subject; my result in the mid-year exam was a Distinction. A new...
“Megan, Tracy’s on the phone for you,” I called out. I handed the receiver to Megan, she sounded quite excited when she started talking to Tracy. But her voice quickly changed; all she said was ‘okay’ and ‘I guess so’; then she sobbed loudly, handed the receiver to Lori, and ran out to the roof-top deck over the laundry. Lori spoke briefly to Tracy, then handed me the phone. “Tracy’s found a guy she really likes in Melbourne,” she said. “Talk to her for a bit, I’ll go out and comfort...
The next day, Garry and I were going into town; we both had some final Christmas shopping to do, and he wanted to look through Palings, the large music store with me. He arrived at my place on his bike just after breakfast, and together we walked down to the main bus stop. We had waited till the morning peak hour had passed, that way we would get a seat all the way into town. Standing all the way on a one hour bus trip isn’t much fun! Our bus was a double-decker, and we made our way...
It took me a few minutes to fully wake up, even with the alarm radio going off. Ten a.m.? Why had I slept so late? I finally remembered, last night, actually, earlier this morning at Janelle’s place, we had decided to resume our relationship. I could have even stayed there, sleeping with her, but I would have felt a bit uncomfortable when we got up if Beth was around. I knew Janelle had said that her mother was happy, even encouraging us to get together, but I still felt a bit strange about...
I picked Cathy up from her house just after 8:30; as she slid into seat she gave me a big, passionate kiss. “Where to first?” she asked. “I was thinking about Warriewood,” I replied, as we headed up Mona Vale road. “There are lots of places there, provided we don’t trespass on one of the market gardens.” We headed up a side street from McPherson Street, towards the Catholic girl’s school, “Mater Maria”. Being school holidays, the place was deserted, of course. We parked under a tree,...
On Saturday, we had all gathered in the studio for a planning session and rehearsal for the new album. Phil had invited several others, DonWalker and Ian Moss (ex-Cold Chisel), I had invited Mike Franz, and Mary Beth had invited Chrissy Amphlette. Don had brought his Yamaha DX7 synthesizer and a Yamaha Clavinova electronic piano, Ian had a Fender amp and two of his guitars and Mike had a Yamaha stage organ. After a bit of shuffling equipment around, we had room for everyone; although we were...
There was only another five weeks of classes before the end of the semester; well, before the study break that led into the exams that would be the end of the semester. We all found that time had a habit of shrinking; at the start of each semester, the end of the semester and the exams seemed so distant ... but before we realized it, there was only a matter of weeks left; and a pile of assignments and projects to complete. Having David, Claire and even Garry living next door made the study...
I had already planned my work schedule for my thesis; the date that the completed documents had to be submitted to the Faculty’s review committee were fixed, so I worked back from that date. I would have to work out the best way to produce the master copy of the thesis; I could always use Lori’s electric typewriter; but I thought it might be worthwhile playing around with the troff / nroff document processing software we had on the Unix system here. One of the PhD students was writing a...
Thursday dawned clear and sunny, and promised to be another hot summer’s day. I decided to start with some laps of the pool before breakfast, and swam about forty laps – maybe half a kilometre – and went inside to eat. After breakfast, I grabbed the things that I would need for the day; towel, sun cream, some cold drinks, and lunch, and put them in my backpack. Around ten minutes before eight, I got on my bike, and headed towards Cathy’s place. I was full of apprehension; while the thought...
When I woke up, I gathered some documents to show to John about how we would tackle the project. My main aim with today’s meeting was ‘project qualification’, that is, to get more details about John’s requirements, what were the key deliverables and results that he wanted to see, plus some feeling on what was he felt was a reasonable budget and timeframe for the project. I was also wanting to get some idea about how the project would run; what accommodation would be provided, would there be...
We woke up with the alarm; made love, had a shower together, then ate breakfast before we drove into Surry Hills and the recording studio. When we reached the studio; I parked at the side in the loading area, and went inside looking for George. We found him in the administration office, speaking with a brunette. “Hey, Will, good to see ya, Mate,” he said. “And this is...” he asked, looking at Lori. “You remember my girlfriend, Lori?” I said to him. “Of course, I remember now. Will, here’s...
The lead up to the end of the semester was busy – really busy. Not only did we have to get ready for the contract with Alexa’s company, preparing the ‘Banksia Room’ as our computer staging area, tweaking the training notes from the university to suit the contract, but there were examinations to prepare for – not that I had any, the last two ‘Science and Society’ subjects had their assessments based on the assignments and class work. But I still had to vet the papers, make sure the questions...
It was late on Saturday morning when I woke up, still feeling down in the dumps. I looked at the clock next to me bed; 9:30 am. I guessed Cathy would already be on the road; they wanted an early start, getting to Goulburn for lunch, and then on to Canberra by early afternoon. She hoped to get everything up in her dorm room before dinner time. I deliberately averted my eyes from the photo of her on my desk; the fact that it was Valentine’s Day didn’t make me feel any better. After a quick...
It took a while for us to wake up on Christmas morning, by the time we had all cast off our sleep it was close to eight; leaving little time before the others arrived for some yule-tide fucking. Just enough time to have a shower, and start to prepare things for breakfast. Lori had suggested we make pancakes; scrambled eggs, toast, coffee and her ‘home fries’. After we had finished our showers, I started to prepare the potatoes for the home fries; peeling them, dicing them, and chopping up...
After our early morning love-making, shower and breakfast, I dropped Cathy off at the bus stop. She wasn’t sure just how late she would be working, and I suggested that she let me know maybe 45 minutes before she was due to finish, and I could drive in and pick her up, to save dealing with the night time buses. At Mike’s, we started talking about the actual sets we would play. “We want to start off with something to really get them going,” Mike said. “Something to kick them in the balls, so...
Thursday night we were having a Thanksgiving dinner at Mary Beth’s suggestion; instead of a complete turkey, which would have been far too much food even for the seven of us, she had baked two large turkey breasts in the oven. Patrick had helped, making some traditional side dishes, a green bean casserole, and somehow he had found a source of candied yams. As we sat around the dinner table, Mary Beth spoke to us all. “Well, I know Thanksgiving isn’t really an Australian tradition, but it is...
With the New Year’s Eve only a few days away, we spent the Saturday afternoon reviewing the set lists for that gig. We had been asked to play for a total of four hours – well, four fifty minute sets, with a ten minute break between them. Then at midnight, we would lead everyone in singing ‘Auld Lang Syne’, then play a final thirty minute set before calling it a night. It was going to be a pretty intense, tiring evening, and right after that we would have to travel to Gosford for the first...
We pulled up in the car park for Lilianfels, it was more in Katoomba itself than Leura, close to Echo Point lookout and the Three Sisters. It wasn’t all that far from some of the other scenic lookouts over the Jamison Valley, or some fairly energetic walks, including the ‘Giant Stairway’, some 800 or so steps descending into the valley. There were some more leisurely walks, including one around the cliff top to the ‘scenic railway’, and Katoomba falls, or the other way to the Leura Cascades....
“Mr. Morris, glad to see you’re awake and back with us. I am Doctor David Pickett, and I’m one of the cardiologists here at the Prince of Wales hospital. I guess you’re wondering what it was that happened to you? First, I need to make sure you understand just how the human heart works; it’s basically a pump whose purpose is to circulate blood around the body.” I nodded; that was pretty basic human anatomy. “The blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the rest of the body, and also carries...
Lori was overjoyed to have us back home; as was Tracy. Even though we tried to be quiet, we woke them as we got into bed. Despite being tired, we made love, and then I slept soundly until nine in the morning. I would have preferred to have gone back to sleep, but I had to get across to the university to enrol. I grabbed a quick breakfast, got my organizer folder from the study, and drove across to the University. I parked behind the Electrical Engineering building, and went up to Professor...
After a busy few weeks filled with gigs most nights of the week, it was back at University. The fibre optic installation was proceeding; there had been a few minor issues, but the company supplying and installing the cable had worked around them. The University – mainly through the School of Physics – had a long term relationship with Crown Corning; they had worked together on a number of projects, particularly in developing reliable connectors for their single mode fibre. The first set of...
“Hey, Will. Paul Ramos here,” the voice on the phone said. “I guess you’re at home at the moment, I called your office at the University, but that cute short girl in your office said you weren’t in over the summer break.” “Paul, comrade. Great to hear from you,” I replied. “No, I’m taking a couple of weeks off; we’ve got a bunch of gigs heading up to Christmas, and into January too. So, to what do I owe the pleasure?” “I’ve got a proposal I’d like to discuss with you; are you going to be...
The words that Mary Beth was saying to me somehow didn’t register, everything after the ‘she’s dead, Will ... she was drowned in the floodwaters’ was just noise. I understood what she told me, the troubling dreams I had experienced the night before made sense. There was a loud rushing in my head, and I was wracked with loud sobs. I was aware of Traci standing next to me, her arms around my shoulders, and Mary Beth was on the phone, talking to someone. “Let’s get you down to bed, Will,” Mary...
I was half awake, and remembering that I was in Dianne’s old bedroom at Cathy’s place, I rolled over to look at the clock next to the bed. 5:30! Far too early to get up; but I needed to have a pee, so I quietly crept out of bed and into the hall, not wanting to disturb anyone. I tiptoed down the hallway, and tried to open the bathroom door quietly. Not being completely familiar with the house yet, I had already started to open the door when I remembered about the squeaky hinges. Oh well, too...
With the wedding out of the way, we got back into the work on the songs for the new album, as well as various gigs around the place. They were starting to take shape, but the real challenge was to ensure that the songs were musically as good as our previous work, and could stand alone as rock songs. We didn’t want the lyrics to be too ‘preachy’ and turn people off. There’s no point in making a protest song, if people don’t like it and refuse to listen to it. After my talk with Alonzo’s...
“It’s on,” Mary Beth said. “Their baby is on the way!” “Oh, I had better get up to the hospital then,” Mrs. White said. “Where should I put my case?” I showed Mrs. White where her bedroom would be; told her that this afternoon we would get the bed made with fresh sheets, and put some towels out for her. Mary Beth was ready to take her up to the hospital; I would clean the bedroom and make her bed with some fresh sheets. At least the room was ready for her when she returned from the...
We spent the morning going over the ‘Sister Angela’ scenario with Lori; she wrote down all of the lines that we could recall, our descriptions of what happened overnight, even my rather sacrilegious thoughts on nun-fucking. While Megan and I would be out of town on the tour, Tracy and Lori would flesh out the story, even starting to write it. Around lunchtime some of the others returned home; Mary Beth was pleased to see us. She showed us the final schedule for the first country tour, we...
The next day, Sunday, I spent time playing the piano and swimming in the pool. After dinner, I walked down to church; hoping Cathy would be there. I wasn’t disappointed; both she and David were there; David, of course, sitting with Gina. “How was your lunch?” I asked. “Not too bad,” Cathy replied. “But I kept thinking about what we may do tomorrow. Are you sure you are comfortable with being with the other two as well?” “Yes, but can we talk about it afterwards?” I said. “You don’t have to...
For our visit to Brisbane for our week-long gig at Expo, most of the people were flying, leaving Sydney early on Saturday morning for the hour and a half flight to Brisbane. Lisa and I were taking the train, the XPT left Central at 2:40 pm on Friday, getting into the main station in Brisbane just before 5:00 am on Saturday. We had booked a sleeper cabin for the trip, and the return journey would leave Brisbane just before 6:00 am in the following Sunday, arriving at Central just after 8:00...
I was dreaming, I must have been, lying in my bed, when I felt a person slide under the sheets next to me. A hand slid over my mouth, and I heard a voice whisper in my ear. “Quiet, don’t make a noise,” she said. “I just want to lie next to you for a while, and feel our bodies together.” Lori? It couldn’t be her, but it certainly felt real; her body was pressed against my back, and I could feel her warm breath on my cheek. My buttocks were hard against her lower stomach. “Lori?” I started...
Don’t ask me what my name is I know what your game is It’s just a casual encounter It’s just a casual encounter It’s just a casual encounter Christina Amphlett & Mack McEntee Free Falling Late September, 1982 I landed with a hard thump on the ground, knocking all the air out of my lungs. I felt a stabbing pain in my shoulder, and then more pain as my foot slammed against the back wall of the house. I heard Lisa scream, and come running towards me. “Everyone! Help, please! Will’s...
On the last day of July, we took Alonzo, Paul and Patrick to the airport. At least for Patrick and Wendy, it was only a temporary separation, he would be back in two weeks’ time; but for Ros it was a very tearful farewell. The five months before Alonzo was back for his sabbatical job teaching at the University would really drag out for her. Patrick said that one of his first projects would be to get a remote data link set up in our study going back to the office at St. Leonards, ostensibly so...
“Hi Lori, Will here,” I said when she answered. “Will Morris, where have you been these last four days?” she yelled down the phone line. “I’ve been worried sick about you; every time I called it was just that stupid machine, I even drove around to see if you were at home; your car was in the garage, but there was no answer. What have you been doing?” I told her briefly that on Monday morning, I had been hit by a car as I was crossing the street. I quickly told her that I hadn’t been badly...
Late December 1996 – January 1997 We had the big Christmas Day party at Banksia Lodge, much as we had done in previous years. My father again played ‘Santa Claus’, handing out presents to all the children present. On Boxing Day, we watched the televised start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race, there were some impressive boats; a huge Reichel/Pugh maxi, owned by the head of the software company SAP. ‘Morning Glory’ was first out of the harbour, followed by ‘Condor of Currabubula’,...
Cathy and I had a late breakfast on Sunday morning; it was still overcast outside, and looked like there could be more rain later in the day. Actually, despite having slept together the whole night – just sleeping, too – our mood was a sombre as the weather. “I miss her already, you know,” Cathy said out of the blue. I didn’t have to ask Cathy who ‘her’ was; I was also feeling sad at not being able to be with Lori for the next few weeks. “Me too,” I said. “How come Janelle gets to go with...
After the New Year’s Eve gig, we had a very lazy New Year’s Day. I think I slept in until close to noon; and did nothing that afternoon until Janelle came around just before dinner time. Or breakfast time for her ... stupid shift hours. We had time for a quickie, before she had to eat, and get ready for work. She promised that she would spend more time with me over the weekend. With the New Year’s gig out of the way, it was time to concentrate on the extensive schedule that Fifa had for us...
We pressed the intercom button, a voice answered and we said who we were and that we were there to see Bob Hudson to appear on his show. A minute later a man came to the door, unlocked it, and let us in. “G’day, I’m Marius, Bob’s producer. Come on in, you’re all a bit early, but we can go up to the studio,” he said. He led us up two flights of stairs, down a dimly lit corridor, and into the control room or the studio. The place looked like it was a dump, there were boxes piled in the...
My lips were so close to Cathy’s; I could feel her breath on me. Her eyes looked directly into mine, and I felt a huge yearning. I was about to pull her to me, letting my lips lock on hers, wanting to feel her tongue against mine, when I stopped myself, realising what was happening. “Think, William Morris, use your head, don’t blindly rush in!” I heard a voice in my head. “Don’t you remember what you told yourself, what you told Lori? You know what will happen if you give in to your desires,...
Just as everyone had warned me; second year electrical engineering was full on, right from the first day. In each of the subjects, the lecturers didn’t waste time reviewing what we might have studied in the previous year; it was head first into the deep end. I had some doubts about one of the subjects; Solid State Physics. To me, this looked like the sort of subject material that graduate students at Oxford University or MIT would cover; quantum mechanics, atomic particles, and similar...
The August school holidays were only three weeks away; these were going to be the last break before the HSC exams at the end of October. At lunchtime one day, we were all discussing the plans we had for the two weeks off school. “Well, I’ll be going over all of the previous exam papers,” Cathy said. Some of the others groaned, called her ‘swot’. David wasn’t being anywhere near as studious as his sister; he had arranged to take a train up to the Gold Coast to renew his acquaintance with his...
We managed to get all of our stuff into the back of the car; but it meant all four of us had to squeeze into the front seat. We worked it out; Megan sat in the centre next to me, then Lori was on the outside, with Jillian on her lap. At least it didn’t take all that long to drive back to Mona Vale, where we dropped Megan and Jillian off with their bags, before heading to Lori’s place. On the drive back to Mona Vale Megan told us about her experiences with the publicity photo shoot yesterday...
“I have no idea what’s got into my sister,” Mary Beth said as she sat across the table from me. Since this Monday would be the last time for over a month that Mary Beth and I would be able to have our regular lunch date, I had made a point of catching a bus into the city to meet her. Rather than eat at our usual location at the Quay, we had gone to a nice steakhouse in Phillip Street; just a short distance up from her office in Macquarie Street. It was going to be an expensive meal, but I...
I pulled up in the driveway of Jenny’s place, and knocked on the front door. Jenny answered; pulled me inside, wrapped her arms around me, and kissed me deeply, even before I had a chance to put my stuff down. When she finally released me, I asked her where I could hang up my clothes for the evening, and she led me down the hallway to her room. Hannah was waiting there; she was just wearing a long white tee shirt, sitting on the double bed with her legs curled up underneath her. “So, how...
"OK, as you all know, I've been debating how to approach this newest crisis, and I've already had you running missions concerning it," David explained to those gathered around as he strode from one end of the richly decorated though cobweb covered room, nervously flexing his hands as he spoke. Everyone listening was eager to hear what he had planned, as they knew how anxious David was about it, as well as knowing how much it would likely impact each of them personally. "As you can tell...
After our overnight cruise to Castle Lagoon, we discussed where we might take our next cruise. One option was to go up to Lake Macquarie, we could go up for a few days at the start of the mid-semester break; I would have to be back in time to take the midday train to Canberra for my Labor Party policy steering committee meeting. But with some planning, we could sail up on the Friday afternoon, reach the Swansea bridge at high tide, spend the next three days exploring the lake, and return to...
“Good morning, I am Doctor Will Morris,” I said to the assembled class. “I assume you are all here for subject 6.710, Introduction to Computer Engineering. If anyone is in the wrong place, I suggest now you leave quietly, and get to wherever it is you should be.” I looked around the lecture theatre, there were maybe two hundred and fifty people, none of whom looked like leaving. Most of them had been in the previous lecture, the introductory lecture for Computing 1A. The challenge we had...
After the great Election Day results, Lisa and I had a fun day sailing; it was a Quartet Bowl race, our favourite. Lisa steered us to another win across the line; we were looking good for a first place in the series. On the way home, Lisa asked me what my thoughts were about Georgina. “You know she wants to sleep with us,” she said. “And both Fiona and I would like to sleep with her, too.” “I guess that’s two votes out of three in favour for it already,” I said. “No, that’s not how it...
I woke up early, feeling slightly disoriented until I realised where I was – in Cathy’s old bedroom, at the Parsons’s place, where she had slept until she took over Dianne’s room. It wasn’t yet six o’clock, and I could hear the sounds of the surf through the open window. Elsewhere in the house, all was quiet. I suspected Mr and Mrs Parsons would be sleeping in, and I didn’t know what time David returned, but I was well and truly asleep when he did. I was lying there, wondering whether to get...
Monday morning was dismal, pouring with rain, and I was waiting to hear from Cathy. She should have arrived home last night, and I thought she would have called me then. Maybe she got in late, and was tired, I told myself. By mid-morning, I hadn’t heard anything, and I was going to call her, when I saw the mail arrive. There was a break in the persistent rain, so I walked down to the letter box to see what had arrived. There was a letter for me; in Cathy’s writing, postmarked from Wednesday....
I woke up refreshed and excited about the start of the new semester; once I had finished breakfast, and packed my notes and papers for the day’s lectures in my backpack, it was on my bike for the quick ride across to the campus. The first two sessions were the introductory lecture for Numerical Analysis, and a tutorial session; it looked to be pretty interesting (at least for a mathematics subject), the material that we would cover seemed quite interesting. The lecturer, Doctor Opie, appeared...
The weeks leading up to the final exams were busy; not just studying for the two exams that I had, but helping Fiona get her internship report finished and ready for submission; last minute coaching for some of my students, and trying to fend off a potential war between some people at Sydney University and other participants in the AARNET project. Independent of the AARNET project, Sydney University had developed a simple store-and-forward network, but they wanted to use the country-level...
There were several additions to the entourage; Robyn and Sally were coming, along with their two kids; and of course the other two young kids, Bruce and Rachel’s son, Robert, and Andrew and Mandy’s daughter, Debbie would be coming along. Given that all four kids were a bit over a year old, they really couldn’t be left behind, and neither Paul nor Phil wanted to be away from their wives and kids for the three weeks. I could see in the future organizing tours like this one would become more...
February saw life start to return to normal. Back at Uni, we started to prepare for the upcoming semester. Preliminary enrolment figures for Computing I indicated we would have slightly over three hundred full time students, and another sixty or so in the part time class. During the summer break another large room had been equipped with terminals connected to the Department’s PDP 11/70, which had also been upgraded with additional memory and disk storage. As well, another 11/40 had been...
As Cathy and I had agreed, we spent the next few days apart. I did my piano grade exam practice for several hours each day, it was boring, but it had to be done. We did speak to each other every night to talk about the things we had done that day. The rain that had cleared on Monday afternoon had returned, so we would not have been able to do much outside anyway. Actually, thinking about it, may have led to more inside activities, including more of what we might discover in Cathy’s copy of...
After the first month or so of school, memories of the summer holidays had faded quickly. The study workload had increased dramatically, and I was glad I had taken the time to set myself a strict program. With schoolwork, practice for my next piano grade exam, and rehearsals and playing at the Mirage, Friday nights were my only regular free time. After the blow-up with Katey Jackson, I didn’t bother going to the youth group meetings on Sunday nights, which gave me some time to get things...
“Hey, Will, it’s Martin here,” the person on the phone said. “Just a reminder, it’s coming up time for your company’s Annual General Meeting, and there’s a few ideas I want to run past you.” He suggested it was time we appointed a ‘Board of Directors’, four or five people who I trusted to provide ‘corporate governance’ and review the major decisions of the company. “I assume at the moment, you’re pretty much running things by yourself, with input from Lisa, Michelle, Mary Beth?” he...
Tactics on this year’s Coffs race were quite different; the wind was a steady twelve knots from the southeast. Therefore, it was a spinnaker run all the way to Coffs; the perfect test for the new hounds asymmetrical number one. The larger boats made the best of the ideal conditions, we were twentieth across the line, several hours ahead of the next Young 88. We sailed reasonably well in the three short courses, but our overall result for the regatta was a tenth on scratch, fifth on handicap....
“Hey, Will, have you got a few minutes to talk? We’ve got a proposal we’d like to talk with you about,” Paul Christie said to me, when we had finished our first sound check for the New Year’s Eve concert in Victoria Park. Paul had established The Party Boys back around 1983 along with Kevin Boritch, and since then it had served as a place for anyone between groups to join and play with. Even some big international names – Joe Walsh, Eric Burden – had played with them. “We hear you guys are...
