Sophie, standing in the clear light of day, viewed her naked body critically in the long mirror. Having waved goodbye to her thirtieth year a couple of years earlier, she was just a little concerned with what age would do to her body.
Others still commented on how beautiful she was. She was slender, youthful in appearance, and retained plenty of vigour for the life she led. Yes, it was easy to deceive others, but in her own eyes, her flesh was losing some firmness and the smoothness of the skin was less evident. Her neat breasts had little sign of drooping, and despite her self-doubt, she was more loved than ever.
So many of society’s young men had found, in Sophie, the gift of learning how to give and receive in the act of lovemaking. She was sought out at the many Mayfair or Bloomsbury social events, and it pleased her to see them debating who would win the ‘rooting around’ rites to her nubile body for that night.
Although she enjoyed being caressed by their eager hot hands, she rarely came across a stiffened penis, hard enough or able enough to lift her to true heights as Ivor could. But it pleased her to endow them with what they could never get from young ladies of their own age with their unwillingness, their innocence and inexperience. It was rumoured that Sophie could send these young men away, with an early schooling for a successful married life.
Sophie’s husband, Ivor, was fifteen years her senior, and she still found him very handsome. Despite twelve years together, he had continued to treat her with the fervour of a young lover, just as he had on their wedding night, when he had worshipped each part of her body individually, kissing, mouthing, stroking, her feet, her ears, her neck, her hair, her shoulders, breasts, labia, and thighs. He had opened her like the petals of a flower, so she could moistly absorb the heat and hardness of him.
It was Ivor who taught her what sexual perfection was, making her vibrate to his every gently subtle caress. Sophie knew he had had, and still took, several lovers. She accepted that it had been his way of life since his late teens.
He accepted, even encouraged, and never took seriously, her whim to pour her practiced joys on young men moving out into life. “How else can we learn the absolute truth of what our deeper emotions are capable of? ” He loved to settle with his head on her naked belly as they recounted to each other recent engagements.
Sophie learned early in their marriage that Ivor’s first consideration of any woman was her mouth. One night, he had her lie on her back, naked, and urged her to gradually relax every muscle in her body, to close it all down. Only her mouth had to remain alert and alive to every erotic sensation. He was no hypnotist, but so gentle, so persuasive that her body became languid while her mouth flared like the extra sex organ Ivor told her it was.
While his sturdy penis lunged along her inner cheeks, and was lavished by her hot wet tongue, he would tell her of how he judged a woman’s sexuality by the lure of her mouth. A tightness of lip offered nothing voluptuous. Full generous lips promised an equally generous sexuality, while he adored moist lips or lips always slightly parted as though awaiting a kiss or fused intrusion. “I would follow any woman so endowed,” he told her, frankly.
But he would go on to whisper how her own mouth, the lips he was gliding between at that moment had attracted him from the start. “Your mouth has a perverse fullness, “ he said warmly. “The passionate way you unfold your lips before we kiss, parting, promising a storm of delights. And you deliver that promise.”
Ivor had developed the whole of her sensuous nature. Always so gentle despite his passion, always treating her like a lover, wooing her with the expensive pleasures of life. They had a favourite restaurant, and they could be shielded in a small curtained dining area where she was pampered with exquisite food and the best of wines. After a meal, waiters cleared all but the wine before discreetly drawing the curtain.
Ivor enchanted her with his magically adoring words before the kissing began. He nibbled at her lips, asked for her tongue, fingers under her gown tickled tenderly at her nether wetness. He would ask which part of her wanted him most.
Depending on her rising sensuality she would say, “My mouth wants you. I want that hardness wrapped in my tongue, want you pouring your strength down my throat.” On another occasion she might tell him, “I am very moist between my thighs.” And there was a convenient divan where he could oblige her deepest desire.
There was only one experience that he introduced her to on only two occasions. Both occasions had surprisingly, unexpectedly, lifted Sophie to unbelievable heights. But then, despite her pleasure he had declared the action unclean and depraved, and it had never been mentioned again, but then there were so many other pleasure to pursue
The locations for their frequent explorations of each other’s bodies were limitless. A theatre box was private enough for their deeper intimacies if the show was boring. Taxis were a constant source of their union, especially for the proficient oral delights they bestowed on each other. Taxi drivers could be paid triple fare to drive around the city until their passion was complete.
Sophie was highly aware that her sensuality continued to grow even if her skin was less than perfect in her own eyes. But she became nervous in realising that before long Ivor might not be enough for her. He had led a life of such excess and she had reaped the benefits in becoming his only wife. But she sensed a vague falling away of his vitality, and even some of her younger playthings seemed sharper if less considerate.
Came the day when Ivor had to go on an important business trip for ten days. He claimed that the import/export company he owned needed to stay ahead of rivals but left her plenty of financial backing in her account.
For days, Sophie was restless and unsettled. Then, one of Ivor’s friends, Max. a renowned painter, phoned her. Well known for his paintings of high society ladies dressed or naked. He had often stated that he longed to paint Sophie in a naked erotic pose, but something had always held her back, even though Ivor had no objections.
Despite her worries about her own looks, when Max came on, she was hoping it was an offer for her to pose. Only, it wasn’t. “Aren’t you a little bored by yourself, Sophie? Wouldn’t you like to join us in a special masked party?”
Sophie knew exactly what he meant. Ivor had told her that it was an idea he’d picked up while in Paris. It had become one of Max’s favourite forms of rather depraved amusement. Choosing a warm summer night, he would have maybe twenty of his high class friends dressed, and masked to maintain secrecy if required, driven to a clearing deep in Epping Forest, where with countless bottles of champagne to charge themselves up they would disport themselves often until dawn.
Sophie had no details of the whole function. Ivor had never chosen to go. He had laughingly said that the masks might confuse him, and he could find himself with his penis implanted in the wrong woman.
Given her suppressed state, Sophie was only too willing to accept the invitation. She had a green gown, that fit like a second skin, and was still unworn. She wondered what kind of man it might lure. Usefully it had an easily unfastened arrangement which might become useful.
Ivor had told her that identification was discouraged, although not banned. She lightened her hair from dark brown, to a tawny shade, curled up to shoulder length. It also seemed an exciting idea to have her sexual area waxed to remove all hair. Her image in the mirror quite surprised her, and the sense of freedom it brought with it further encouraged her to remove all underwear, before donning the black mask to further disguise herself.
Weather-wise the evening was near perfect, no moon but a trillion stars made it an evening for romance. Sophie hoped it was more a time for lust. Outside Max’s big studio, the dimmed lights preserved the identity of the guests. Sophie wasn’t counting.but she suspected there were more than twenty.
All assembled, all elegant to start with, they were guided to waiting limousines. Sophie sat quietly absorbing the overpowering perfume of the other two ladies and listening to their excited chatter about what they intended. Obviously, it was not their first party.
They were driven to the deepest part of the forest, a beautiful clearing, carpeted in thick moss. Very quickly the champagne was flowing, and, so quickly, revealing openings appeared at hem and neckline.
Behind the masks, these normally so dignified people went at each other with a hunger that Sophie found both fascinating and exciting. Hands were plunged up sumptuous evening dresses, touching wherever they wished. Pants were unzipped and rigid male flesh sprouted in hot female hands, and mouths. Heavy, gasping breathing sounded all around, along of with girlish giggles and deep laughter.
Very quickly Sophie found herself having the attention of two men. The first drunkenly tried to arouse her by kissing her mouth and bare breasts. Actions which had little effect. Two men at the same time was not part of her experience, and that made her rather uneasy.
But all was quickly resolved when the second man slid his hand under her long gown and began caressing up and down her inner thigh. Very soon, her moisture was drizzling down there. He felt it too, and as she shuddered with her arousal, it was a delight to be lifted and carried off into the darkness.
The other man was too drunk to protest. Even more aroused in these strong arms, Sophie was lifted further as she observed the orgy that was going on as they passed. Somewhere a woman cried out. “Do it. I can’t wait. Do it.” On an embankment, two women had dragged their skirts high and were head to tail faces buried in each other’s moistness.
Just before she was carried into deeper shadows, she saw two men, laughing as they teased a very drunken lady. Her dress was unfastened and her nudity was only shielded by her flapping skirt. The men touched, stroked, and licked at her until she was in a frenzy of need, pressing obscenely against them, wriggling into them with her dress agape.
Sophie was glad to miss whatever happened there next as she was carried to a bank of moss and lowered down, not too gently. Gentleness was all she had ever known when clasped to Ivor. She was about to learn that sexual release came in various forms.
As the dark shadow of his muscular form loomed over her he was unzipping his pants Sophie had a brief glimpse of a promising penis. She was so ready for that, as he dropped his hand between her thighs, and fingers trailed along her soaked channel. Yes, yes, more delightful caresses for her.
Wrong!
He had only been testing her readiness. Next second, both his hands had forced their way beneath her buttocks where they clutched like claws and her lower body was lifted so that her weeping sex was face-to-face level with his hungry hardness.
