Victoria was fed and watered. Her bed was made. Jerry Stephens had been right. The food was definitely not cordon bleu but it was wholesome. She realised how hungry she had been because she ate every scrap with one hand -- because she never let go of Mark's with her other.

It was late and Victoria was nodding off to sleep and then jerking awake again when the nurse who had fixed her meal and bed came in again.

"Now then, Mrs Bowers, it's time for you to get some sleep."

"Oh, I'm all right and please call me Victoria. What's your name?"

"Sue, but I'm quite serious about you getting some sleep. I've been watching you through the window in the door and have seen you nodding off. Please would you lend me your husband's hand? I don't have anything else to do and will call you immediately if he needs you."

"Thanks, Sue. Now you've pointed it out I do feel pretty bushed. Is there somewhere I can wash my face and clean my teeth?"

"Yes. Turn left and it's on the left just opposite the nurses' station."

"Thanks."

Victoria got up and Sue took her place. Mark would never have felt the changeover of hands. Victoria returned a few minutes later refreshed by her wash. She changed into her nighty and went round to the other side of Mark's bed. She carefully found her way through the drip tubes and kissed him gently.

"Goodnight, my precious darling," she whispered. "Sue's standing in for me while I get some sleep. Call me if you want me."

She disengaged herself and stood at the end of the bed. "Thank you, Sue," she said softly. "Give him my love." She turned and went to her bed.

Sue stared after her in stupefaction. It had sounded as though she was giving a farewell instruction. In fact it meant a very great deal more. It meant that she, Sue, could not sit and hold Mark's hand while reading a book, which she had intended to do, but will him with all the affection she could muster to recover. She had never been given such a task. She had been taught to give patience and sympathy but now, by this pint-sized little blonde, she had been told to give love. She was stunned and affronted. "Who is this girl to tell me how to treat a patient?" And then it hit her. This 'girl' had had the confidence to entrust her with her husband's recovery: not practically but spiritually. Sue was not a spiritual person and she had yet to fall in love but it suddenly hit her. These two were very much in love and Victoria had entrusted her with continuing to give her love to her husband. Her grip on Mark's hand tightened slightly. "Victoria," she thought. "Pump your love through me." She repeated it to herself again and again. She felt her hand warm, not just through contact with Mark's, and an affection develop for him.

"You poor man," she thought. "Crippled in the prime of your life. Not for ever, I hope. You're good looking too so I can see one reason she loves you but there must be more than that. She talks so lovingly to you. Is that how you talk together? Sleep with love surrounding you and heal."

She never picked up her book but continued to will Mark to recover.

Mark slept throughout the night even when Sue had to leave him to visit her other patients. He stirred slightly as she let go of his hand. Victoria, Sue noticed, tossed in sympathy but never woke up.

Morning came and Sue woke Victoria. "I go off duty in half an hour. Would you like to go and have a wash? My relief will sort out breakfast for you both."

Victoria smiled groggily at her, picked up her spongebag and tottered off to the bathroom. She was back a few minutes later and dressed quickly.

"You must have so much to do, Sue," she said. "Thanks a million for looking after him and letting me sleep. Did he behave?"

"Yes, Victoria, he slept the whole night through so when he wakes I hope he'll be feeling a lot better."

Victoria reached out and hugged her. "Thank you so much," she said and kissed her cheek. Sue blushed and fled. She had never experienced such natural affection and gratitude.

Victoria resumed her position and started talking softly to Mark.

"Good morning, my darling. I'm glad you slept so well. I hope you're going to feel a bit less groggy this morning. I hope you don't mind me leaving you in someone else's hands overnight. She did well though because I slept like a log and didn't feel you were unhappy. Her name is Sue and she's a very kind compassionate person."

She squeezed his hand. "You ought to wake up, my sweet, and have some breakfast. Are you hungry?"

Mark's eyelids flickered and she bent forward to kiss him. "Good morning, darling," she said again.

His eyes opened and he looked at her and smiled.

"Thirsty?" she asked.

He nodded. She picked up the glass of water and raised his head. He drank voraciously.

"What's happened?" he asked. "Where are we?"

"RAF El Adem Hospital," she answered. "You got blown up on a mine."

He stared at her in befuddlement and then his eyes cleared. "In the wadi," he said.

She nodded.

"What about the others? Corporal Skinner? Hudson?"

"Corporal Skinner's just badly bruised and a bit cut up. He's here at the hospital too. I'm afraid Hudson was killed."

"Oh God!"

"What about you, darling? How do your legs feel?"

"My right one feels bruised and sore but the left one hurts like hell."

"It's broken, darling, in a number of places and they can't do anything about it here. Someone will be in soon and we'll get them to relieve the pain."

"So what are they going to do about it?"

"They're going to fly you home to the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital later today." She saw the same look of anguish as yesterday come into his eyes. "Don't worry, my darling. I'm coming with you. Under pressure from Peter Instead, your surgeon, Gerry Stephens, arranged it."

Mark relaxed for a moment then tightened up again. "I told the stupid bastard about the mines," he ground out, "but he ordered me to go ahead. And what happens? He kills one of his men."

He was silent for a few minutes. "The CO tasked me with stopping him doing something dangerous," he said, "and I failed. I'm responsible for Hudson's death." He was white with emotion.

"No you're not, darling. I'm quite sure you did everything you could to stop him sending you there."

Mark glared at her. "No I didn't," he said. "I should have told him to get stuffed and faced the consequences but I didn't. I funked it and now Hudson's dead."

At that moment the new duty nurse appeared all freshly pressed and cheerful.

"Ah, you're awake," she said. "How are you feeling?"

"Bloody!" said Mark violently.

"Not surprising," replied the nurse quickly recovering her poise. "How does your head feel?"

"Sore."

"Not surprising either. What about your right leg?"

"Same."

"And the left one?"

"Hurts like hell."

"Again not surprising but we'll deal with that once Wing-Commander Stephens has examined you in about half an hour. Can you wait that long?"

Mark nodded.

"How about some breakfast?"

"No, thanks."

"Yes, please," chipped in Victoria. "For both of us." She put a finger to Mark's lips to stop any further argument. "I'm just going to pop out with the nurse for a moment. Shout if you need me."

She rose and taking the surprised nurse by the arm steered her swiftly out of the room.

"Sorry for being so bossy," she said when they were outside. "The reason he said he was feeling bloody so rudely is that he has got his memory back and is blaming himself for the accident and his driver's death. He feels he should have stood up to his company commander more firmly. I don't know if this is the onset of the neurasthenia that Wing-Commander Stephens said might happen but you might like to mention it to him before he visits Mark."

The nurse smiled at her. "Thank you," she said. "I admit I was a bit taken aback by his outburst. I'll certainly mention it to the Wing-Commander before he sees him."

Breakfast arrived and the head of Mark's bed was cranked up so that he could eat. At first he still refused but Victoria teased him and treated him like a small child: "Open wide. One for Mummy. What a clever boy!" In the end Mark was forced to smile and then gobbled up the rest.

Soon after he finished he was given a bedpan which embarrassed him no end and was then given a blanket wash so that by the time Jerry Stephens arrived he was spick and span but in considerable pain. While Jerry examined him he questioned him.

"Do you remember anything about yesterday now?"

"Too much."

"It must have been terrifying."

"Not really. It all happened in a flash. I felt a terrible pain in my right leg and realised the rover was going over and then banged my head and that was it. No, it was the drive through the minefield that was the worrying bit."

"I gather it was the platoon commander you had with you who saved your life. He stopped you bleeding to death. Tony Something?"

"Thorpe. He's a good chap. I owe him."

"You do but why did you go in there in the first place?"

"I was ordered to by my officer commanding?"

"Didn't you know there were mines there?"

Craig takes his mother for the first time

Once Carol had scooped up the last dregs of cum from her tits and transferred it to her mouth she announced that she needed to freshen up and top up her wine.Kissing Tom first and then Craig she told them she stood up, “I won’t be long sweetheart,” she said, “ giving her son’s cock a gentle squeeze, “there’s a lot more to tell that should get him to attention again, l need him big and strong when he fucks me.”Craig watched the naked form of his mother cross the room, admiring the sway of her...

Craig scanned Scot-ads. Several of the advertisements caught his eye. “Maggie Sottero, size 14, strapless, princess style £300” I don’t think so. “Ivory wedding dress. Designer by Debenhams, plain bottom half with train. Needs dry cleaning hence £100” Hmm possible. “Ivory wedding dress, size 14 good condition, detailed bodice with train £60” It was a local number. He pulled out his mobile and dialled the number. It was picked up on the fourth ring. He was so nervous he could hardly keep hold...

Penny was growing weary of her husband's disinterest in sex. They had only been married for five years. It was the second marriage for both of them, and they weren't teenagers anymore, but they were far from dead.He had still been married when they met, but had been separated and living apart from his soon to be ex-wife. He had been quite charming and attentive, but she had refused to sleep with him until the divorce was final. He did not have any kids and her son was grown and living on his...

In my senior year of high school, we had a new student that transferred in. His name was Craig, he was a big k** standing 6'4 and weighed a good 240lbs. Dude was all muscle and no fat. He was put on the Football team immediately. Our school was known for winning State championships. We played hard and often hung out together. Craig was a Running Back and I was a Tight end. Being 5'10 and 190 lbs I was nicknamed "the Bulldog" little but fierce. Craig and i became fast...

Craig Gets Cucked Part 2

Over the next couple of weeks, Penny and Kris met twice for drinks and one time for dinner. Craig had started asking if she was seeing another guy, but she could honestly answer no to that. She did, however, make a snide remark about how maybe she should find another guy and let him watch to remind him how it was done. Surprisingly, he did not respond to that the way she thought he would. Talking all this time with Kris was changing her, though she had not realized it until now.Penny decided...

Craig

I suppose I should start by telling you a few details about myself. My name is Ellen; I'm about 5ft 7" tall. I have dark hair streaked with blond and copper and my eyes are blue. My breasts are a 38c, I won't tell you my weight but lets just say I'm not small. About a year ago I was on the Internet constantly, talking to men in chat rooms. It was great; I could escape into a different world and become a different person. I used to tell them I was 23 years old, a size 10, with 38d...

Craig HillChapter 50

Anthony and David wandered back in shortly before one to find everything under control in the kitchen and that lunch would be ready in half an hour. "Good timing," said Anthony winking at Mark. "Now, what would you lovely ladies like to drink?" "What? Lunchtime drinking, Daddy?" asked Victoria in mock horror. "Hols, my dear," replied Anthony airily, "and welcoming our little lovebirds home." "Oh well then, lager please, Daddy." "Darling?" "Guess." "Mark what about...

Craig HillChapter 51

At dinner they were asked whether they had started to think about the wedding yet. "Yes," said Victoria, "April but we haven't decided where. The church here is too small and the nearest one to Craig Hill is at Ripley. We looked at Ripon Minster the day before yesterday but it's much too grand. We'd like to go and look at the church at Thirsk tomorrow. Mark did suggest Richmond and let the regiment do the catering but I'd much rather have the reception here." "So would I," said...

Craig HillChapter 69

Life went on much as normal. Mark and Victoria found their relationship deepening still further. Not only did they still often speak as one but also they found themselves thinking as one. Equally, in conversation with others, one might produce a complete non sequitur but the other picked it up without a pause. Mark found too that a similar empathy as his one with Serena evolved. Victoria, with her relationship with Rupert, went further and was always aware of Mark's moods, even at a...

Craig HillChapter 72

The following year went by in a flash. The last six weeks before Anthony handed over were organised chaos. He was promoted to Lieutenant-General with a job once more in London. He was also appointed KBE, Knight of the Order of the British Empire and so became Lieutenant-General Sir Anthony Collins KBE. Frances became Lady Collins, which she giggled about observing that she would have to start behaving herself. They would move back to their flat in London. Mark sent a signal to Peter Instead...

Craig MccallisterChapter 6

Nathan and I parted company at Hermit. Now that's a crazy name for a town! Three hours out of Hermit, I realized how much I had relied on a partner to ride with me. Specifically, I came upon eight Comanches who had just attacked a buckboard. A man way lying dead in the driver's seat and a woman was struggling with two of the Indians who were dragging her down from the seat. I really had no choice if I was going to live with myself, so I pulled up one of my shotguns and raced toward the six...

Craig MccallisterChapter 7

Before leaving town, we purchased a Henry rifle for Jane to use. I wanted her to try the shotguns out, because I wanted to get at least one for her to use. If necessary, I was willing to drop down to 16-gauge for her, but that was cutting awfully far into the number of balls in each shell. I hoped that she could use a 10-gauge or a 12-gauge, but we did need to experiment. The gunsmith was willing to let us test fire some shotguns to see which one would do best for her, so we gave them all a...

Craig HillChapter 6

October brought the Confidential Report season and Mark was duly summoned to the CO's office to read his and, if he dared, comment on it before signing it. In fact, he was thrilled with it, particularly the grading of Very Good, two below Outstanding at the top but above Above Average, which he was later to learn that 60% of officers at that time got. Needless to say there was subsequently a revision of the grading system. Nevertheless, as the Adjutant told him afterwards, very few National...

Craig HillChapter 11

The following Saturday Elspeth had to go into Harrogate so she collected Serena from school. Mark and Serena went riding in the afternoon. With the long summer evening they were not constrained by time so they took the horsebox and drove up to the moors to ride. Not only did they thoroughly enjoy the freedom and beauty of the moors but were able to talk a lot too. Serena's thoughts on what she wanted to do were beginning to crystallise and Mark was amazed that they were so close to...

Craig HillChapter 14

Mark returned to Tidworth the next day and got on with his job. He was glad in many ways to have the evenings to himself but began to find he did not have enough to occupy him. He decided that he would do a study of the Peninsula War. He had covered it briefly at Eaton Hall but not in any depth. He rang the librarian at Sandhurst who kindly lent him a number of books. Nevertheless, for an active young man it was not enough. He joined the cricket team and that helped. He also swam three...

Craig HillChapter 32

Once again Victoria looked delectable when she presented herself at Mark's flat. She wore a pink silk blouse and pale blue skirt to just below her knees. As usual she wore next to no makeup. Her legs were bare. Mark wore a light blue open-necked shirt and sand coloured trousers. They looked appreciatively at each other before gently kissing. "I could eat you up," whispered Mark in her ear. She bit his gently and whispered back, "I've started on you, you yummy man." "What would you...

Craig HillChapter 37

The journey went uneventfully. The girls chattered away allowing Mark only a few observations but Victoria's hand never left his thigh. They had a pleasant lunch. The Braithwaites bade them farewell and they all set off again. They arrived at Craig Hill about five and were given a huge welcome by David and Elspeth. After tea Anthony and Frances went to their room. The girls went to visit the horses. Elspeth had indeed given Serena Lulu's filly, which she had named Esmerelda, and Serena...

Craig HillChapter 49

Serena had gone by the time Mark and Victoria came down for breakfast. Elspeth was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee reading the paper. "Hello, my dears," she said rising to kiss them. "Good morning. What would you like for breakfast?" "Don't worry," said Victoria. "I'll do it." "Not on your last morning in my house you won't," said Elspeth fiercely. Victoria flinched and Elspeth with a peal of laughter enfolded her in a hug. "I thought we were family,"...

Craig HillChapter 78

They were back at Craig Hill by this time. Elspeth would not hear of them moving out until Mark was fit enough to work round the farm. "It would be nonsense in his present frame of mind," she said to Victoria. "He'd just sit and mope. He needs to have us all around him from time to time. And don't you think you've got to wait on him hand and foot. I can help him with his exercises and walking." "Bless you, Mum, but I need to have a hand in these things too." "Yes, darling, but...

I'd put on ad on Craig's List, I'd recently split up from my boyfriend and wanted some random fun. We'd been emailing for the past few weeks before deciding to bite the bullet meet up.I pick you up at the train station, it’s a bit awkward at first neither knowing how to “handle” the situation, what to say etc. We walk down to the car park and the more we talk we start to relax. Monies tight, so before we meet we agree on the “free” option. We drive out of the town and head towards the...

Not so long ago I was sucking and fucking strange men on a daily basis. I called myself Craig's List Candy because I found most of my partners there. I use to sit at work all day long just waiting for the moment that I could clock out and go home to search Craig's List for my next hunky boy toy.Once I made it home through rush hour traffic, I would immediately smoke a bowl and then take a shower to prepare for my naught encounter. After preparing myself and my apartment, I logged on to CL and...

Craig list meeting

I have used Craig’s list to meet women in the past but have not had much luck – they either did not turn up, did not live up to their descriptions or were not very good. However, a couple of months ago I made contact with a woman who was advertising that she wanted a NSA contact as her sex life with her husband had become a bit boring. As there was no photograph with the advert it did not immediately appeal to me. However a few days after seeing the advert I decided to reply. I heard nothing...

Craig MccallisterChapter 2

What can I say? Riding for hours along an otherwise deserted road can get boring real damned fast! I even tried counting jackrabbits and rattlesnakes for a while just to keep me awake. The problem was, I kept nodding off and forgetting the count. That shows you how important it was. The problem with going to sleep was that my horse would stop and would not move again until I ordered him forward. Maybe he was a bored as I was. The one bit of excitement on the road that day was when a...

Craig MccallisterChapter 3

I had emptied one pistol and was working on the second when I rode through the Mescalero defensive line. Thank God, they were on the ball and did not try to shoot me. "MI ESPAÑOL ES MUY LIMITADO. ¿ALGUIEN HABLA INGLÉS?" [My Spanish is very limited. Does anyone speak English?] A boy shouted back, "I HAVE SOME ENGLISH!" I hurried to him. "Please take me to your leader. I want to know how I can help the most." That he could understand after a moment's thought. I figured that he must be...

Craig MccallisterChapter 4

I moved the rock out of the way before the stagecoach got to the ambush site, so they never slowed down as they rattled past. I picked up about $100 from miscellaneous stuff the bandits were carrying, along with their horses, and I got my $300 for the bandits from the stage line. I asked if the deal still held, and I was told that they would pay $100 each for any more bandits I delivered. That was reasonable, so I decided to stay with it for a little while longer. I'd had so much luck with...

Craig MccallisterChapter 5

The next day, I went looking for a poker game where I could try my luck. I was not sure that I was in the same league as these pros who worked the larger towns and cities. There was only one way to find out. Ouch! I was in for a major hurt! In less that two weeks, I had lost almost $500 and had learned my lesson! OK, I was not the poker player I had deluded myself into believing I was. Well, the other thing that I could do was shoot, so I was going to have to put up with the hot sun and...

Craig MccallisterChapter 8

It was just as well that we had no excitement for the next week, as that gave plenty of time for Jane's small wound in her thigh to heal. Well, it was not necessarily completely healed, but it was healed enough that it did not bother her. We continued our trip east, and we began to wonder if we were wasting our time. We were discussing that very topic when we came upon a stagecoach robbery in progress. The coach was stopped because of a tree limb blocking the road. There were four bandits,...

Craig MccallisterChapter 9

There was no question about it when they started shooting at us—we either had to run or to fight, and neither one of us was the running type! However, a plan suddenly occurred to me. "JANE, FOLLOW ME! I HAVE AN IDEA I WANT TO TRY!" We turned and raced away from the gunmen. I hoped to build up a little space between us and the wagons in order to keep from wounding the captive women. Once I thought we were far enough away, about 300 yards, we whirled around and brought our large shotguns to...

Craig MccallisterChapter 10

We spent a total of two days collecting our reward and selling enough stuff to end up with over $100. That was certainly good pay for a couple of day's work. We returned to the Neutral Territory, but not to the same town, figuring that we might have worn out our welcome there. We spent nearly five weeks wandering around without finding any more wanted men, and we began to wonder if we were wasting our time. We were about ready to head back to Texas when we ran into a rather bizarre...

Craig HillChapter 3

The rest of the Summer Holidays passed off normally. Mark regained his appetite and entered into everything with his usual enthusiasm. The only thing that Elspeth noticed was a greater tolerance and the inclusion of Serena in the things Mark did. Return to school was a different story. Mark missed Nicholas badly. He and Martin remained friends but the catalyst was missing. Instead of being in the top four of the weekly marks Mark dropped back to sixth or seventh. He admitted to David during...

Craig HillChapter 4

Mark had a busy week. He bought a car from someone who was returning to England. He found out a number of suitable places to take Deirdre the next Saturday and reconnoitred them. He fitted this round two long days on the range with his platoon, twenty-four hours as Orderly Officer which meant he was confined to barracks and a further long day with his company commander at Sennelager Training Area planning a week long company training exercise there. He rang Deirdre on Thursday and told her...

Craig HillChapter 5

Mark's life went on and he enjoyed every minute of it: the routine of barracks, the platoon and company training exercises, the increasing knowledge of his men and their acceptance of him, and the brotherhood of his fellow officers. In August the battalion had its Summer Ball. Mark was without a partner as were a number of his fellow subalterns. That did not really matter as he danced with other junior officers' wives and his company commander's wife who he knew quite well and who kept...

Craig HillChapter 7

Mark duly presented himself at the Collins's flat a few minutes after six the following day and was met at the door by Frances Collins with a hug and a kiss. "How lovely to see you, Mark," she cried. "It's been far too long. Last time you were still at school. Let's look at you. Mmm, not bad at all and you get to look more and more like your father." "I hope that's a compliment, Mrs Collins," replied Mark grinning. "It's lovely to see you again. Either you've all been in...

Craig HillChapter 8

There was a knock on Mark's door at half past seven the following morning. "See you at ten," said Anthony Collins's voice. "Breakfast when you're ready." "Thank you, Sir," called Mark who was already wide-awake but wondering when he should put in an appearance. He padded down the passage to the bathroom and did his morning duties presenting himself in the kitchen just before eight. Frances was there. "Good morning, Mark," she said. "Did you sleep well?" "Like a log," he...

Craig HillChapter 9

Mark spent a pleasant weekend at home. His parents were delighted by his enthusiasm for his new job and that he and Anthony Collins were clearly getting on so well. Serena naturally wanted to know all about Victoria. "I don't think she's grown an inch since you last saw her," Mark told her, "but she has become stunningly beautiful like you, my darling sister." "Ding-dong, Ding-dong, Ding-dong, Ding-dong!" carolled Serena. "Oh, shut up!" Mark laughed. All too soon he had to leave...

Craig HillChapter 10

Mark was reading in bed that evening when there was a soft knock on his door. "Come in," he said quietly wondering who it was. It was Serena wrapped in a dark red dressing gown that fell to her ankles. She was wearing matching slippers. "Can I come in and talk for a little while, Mark?" "Of course you can. What a treat! You haven't done this for years and years." He patted the side of the bed. "Come and sit down." Serena sat on the side of his bed with her hands folded in her...

Craig HillChapter 12

Shortly after the house grew quiet there was a soft knock on Mark's bedroom door and Selena slipped in. "You said I could come. Is it still all right?" she whispered. Mark nodded and held open the bedclothes. Selena beamed and softly closed the door behind her. She ran to Mark's bedside slipping off her dressing gown as she did so and revealing a very short and diaphanous nighty. She slipped into bed beside Mark and hugged him. "Thank you," she murmured and proceeded to kiss him...

Craig HillChapter 13

Sunday morning was normal. They trooped off to church in Ripley and then Mark had an early snack lunch and left. His family all wished him luck in his new job and Serena gave him a passionate kiss in public which caused Elspeth to smile. He arrived at Bulford Manor at about half past six and, having circled the house decided which door was the ADC's flat entrance. He knocked and the door was opened by a little man, no more than five foot six, with jet black hair, vivid blue eyes and a wide...

Craig HillChapter 15

Victoria returned on the dot of twenty to eleven and they drove to the Saddle Club, getting there ten minutes later. They went to sign in and Mark was amused that the secretary himself had turned out to welcome Victoria and also of course invite her to become a member. "I wish I could," Victoria smiled at him, "but I doubt it's worth it. I'm working in London at the moment and it's not as though I'm down here every weekend by any means. If things change though I'll certainly think...

Craig HillChapter 16

Mark left his flat and walked through the Collins's house to the drawing room. All four of them were there including Rupert. Mark kissed Frances's cheek and thanked her for inviting him. He shook hands with the general. He was not sure how to deal with Victoria but she dealt with that. She flung both arms round his neck and gave him a smacking kiss on both cheeks. "MY special ADC," she laughed. Rupert stood and held out his hand. "Good to see you again, Sir," he said. Mark shook his...

Craig HillChapter 17

Mark also went to church. It was not a formal function so he went as an individual. He still went to church but the experience with Nicholas Richardson all those years ago still made him wonder why he did, perhaps because it made him remember Nicholas. "Still all right for two?" Victoria asked afterwards. "Yup and looking forward to it." "What are you having for lunch?" asked Elspeth suspiciously. "Probably the same as you as Sergeant Roberts has a hand in it," said Mark with a...

Craig HillChapter 18

Mark checked the diary before he rang home. Elspeth answered the call. "I'm glad I got you, Mum." "Mark, darling! Two nights in succession? It must be important." "It's two things actually. They're both important but one's easy; the other isn't." "All right. Start with the easy one." "General Anthony's given me a week's leave so that I can come to Serena's end of term do." "Oh, darling, that's marvellous. She'll be thrilled. Now, what's the problem?" Mark gave an...

Craig HillChapter 19

On Monday morning Mark confirmed his leave with General Anthony and then started to arrange the German trip. He had to clear it with the Corps Commander's staff first and then contacted the divisional commanders' ADCs to check that their generals were happy. By mid-afternoon everyone had agreed enthusiastically. All the commanders from the corps commander down knew and loved Frances. Mark guessed also that they were not averse to casting an eye over the Collins's reputedly beautiful...

Victoria arrived home with her car laden to the gunwales. The family and Sergeant Roberts helped her unload it and carry everything up to her room. "I'm not going to sort it all now," she announced. "I want to settle down with my family and have a drink before dinner and rejoice that London is over. Is that all right?" "Of course it is, darling," replied Frances. "We've got a head start on you." "What would you like, darling?" asked Anthony. "Could I have a half of lager...

Victoria knocked on Mark's door promptly at ten o'clock on a beautiful sunny, summer morning. "Good morning, Victoria," he said. "Thank you for being so punctual." "I didn't want to waste a minute of this glorious day," she replied soberly and then grinned. "Are your bones feeling apologetic?" Mark laughed. "Yes," he said. "Very! I'm sorry, Victoria, but your father and I couldn't resist it." She smiled back. "Typical Daddy and, if I'd thought, I would have expected it...

Victoria did not forget to ring Serena. She rang her at six, as soon as the cheap calls were available. Elspeth answered the phone. "Hello, Lady Bowers, it's Victoria back again. Please may I talk to Serena?" "Yes, of course, my dear but on one condition." She put on a school-mistressy voice. "You're a big girl now so you call me Elspeth." Victoria giggled. "Yes, Miss," she said and Elspeth giggled too. "Thank you, Elspeth." "Cheeky wench," Elspeth chuckled. "So that's...

Mark attended church the following morning as normal and Frances invited him to supper that evening. He had hardly got back to his flat when the telephone rang. It was Serena to say how pleased she was that he would be home for her end of term. "It's not a huge do but the whole school assembles at eleven and there'll be some boring stuff about all its achievements this term. Then they have all the leavers up and the headmistress says some public stuff and then says goodbye to each...

The week went uneventfully. Victoria came to see him on Tuesday evening to tell him that she was exhausted but really enjoying herself. "Jean Whitty is a real sweetie," she said. "She's funny and makes me laugh, she tells me everything about the horses and how she runs the place and she treats me as a friend. Her children are super: full of fun but so well mannered." "But she also has a slave driver's whip." "No! She drives herself and you're just carried along with her energy. I...

Serena's family arrived at the school at a quarter to eleven. She met them and led them to reserved seats in the school hall. "I can't sit with you," she said. "All the leavers have to sit together in the front row." Promptly at eleven o'clock Mrs Protheroe appeared on the stage, welcomed everyone and then gave an account of what the school had achieved this term. The leavers were then called forward in alphabetical order, shook hands with Mrs Protheroe who gave each of them a peck...

The family gathered for pre-dinner drinks. It was comfortable and relaxed. The dogs lay around them only disturbing things when a terrier needed to let off steam. "Don't you have a Summer Ball at Tidworth?" asked Elspeth out of the blue. "Yes," said Mark. "It's on August 14th." "Are you taking Victoria?" "Shit!" exclaimed Mark. "Oops! I'm sorry." Everyone smiled. "I'd totally forgotten. Oh Lord! What am I going to do now?" "Ring her this minute," said Serena. Mark...

Serena came to Mark's room that night. She was wearing a nighty under her dressing gown. Mark held up the bedclothes and she slid in beside him. They hugged, gently and lovingly kissing each other. "Do you know, Mark darling, I don't feel like doing anything sexy tonight. I just want to be with you and love you." "Same here. Perhaps it's because we are brother and sister." "Mmm," then she giggled. "Did you see Dad's face when I called you darling?" "No." "His eyes nearly...

Mark drove back to Bulford Manor on Sunday afternoon. Despite a loving kiss from Serena and an admonition to be a big brave boy he remained apprehensive of his meeting with Victoria. He did not have to wait long. He had hardly let himself into his flat when there was a loud knock on the door. "Hello, Mark. You are summoned to supper." "Come in, Victoria. Please." She did so without a word closing the door behind her. Mark bit his lip, tongue-tied for a moment. "I'm so sorry,...

The evening came to an end. Mark said he should go. He had a busy day tomorrow. General Anthony grinned. "I'll see you home," said Victoria and then shrieked with laughter. The others joined her. Mark said his thanks and the two of them set off to his flat. At the door Mark turned to her and said with mischief, "I can hardly ask you in for coffee because we've already had it. What are we going to do?" Victoria smiled happily back. "I'm coming in; invitation or not." Mark closed...

Craig HillChapter 30

That evening Victoria did not go in through the front door as she normally did but came straight across the yard from the garage and banged on Mark's front door. He let her in and they hugged each other and exchanged a warm, loving kiss. "Pouf!" said Mark. "You smell." For a moment Victoria looked crestfallen then she grinned at him. "We manual workers can't always smell like roses," she retorted. "Not like you white collar people." "Khaki collar." "Hides the dirt." Mark...

Craig HillChapter 31

Victoria repeated her routine of yesterday and came straight to Mark's flat after putting her car away. No words were said as they embraced. Mark's stomach turned over at holding this delicate but muscular little nymph in his arms. She smelt like she did yesterday, of horses and sweat, but her own personal aroma came through. It was warm. It was animal. It was Victoria: soft, feminine but with a sharp tang. He looked down at her. Her face had lost the pallor of a town dweller and there was...
