Chapter 5: Parents Galore

The Sunday After Mother’s Night Out.

The Carter Residence, Sunday Morning.

“Yeah, Mum, no worries,” Brett Saunders said. “I don’t know about Matilda or Judith, but Grace and I would love to stay another night. No, all good. Remember, tomorrow’s a pupil-free day. Yeah, wait up, I’ll get Matilda and Judith.”

A few minutes later, Alice Saunders said, “Matilda, your mother has things she needs to do tonight, so I want you to stay another night at the Carters, okay? No, I’ll take the day off tomorrow and come and get you all in the morning. Look, Missy, I don’t need your rubbish today. I’m not asking, Matilda. You’re staying another night with Zoe and her parents.”

Matilda growled and threw Brett’s phone back to him. Brett handed it to Grace. “Nah, Mum, hanging with Zoe, Willow, Frankie, Judith, Maddie, and Zoe is really cool. Yeah, love you, too, Mum. See you tomorrow.”

Lisa was with Wendy in an Uber on their way home. She called Luke. “Hey, babe. See you in a few minutes, okay? Umm, Alice and Shirley kinda hit it off and want to explore together. You okay if we keep their kids for another night? You don’t mind? Great! See you soon.”

Judith Samuels accepted Brett’s phone from Grace. “Sure, Aunt Alice. Yeah, I’d love to stay another night, but I doubt Mum will agree. Yeah, I’ll call her after this. Okay, umm, if Mum doesn’t want me to stay, she’ll probably insist on picking me up from here. Yeah, I’d love to visit if Mum says it’s okay. Sure. Love you, too.”

Shirley lay on Alice’s bed. She had the tall, slender woman lying against her as she idly played with Alice’s pointy nipples. Shirley thought that Alice’s small, conical nipples more closely resembled a man’s than a woman’s, and she was surprised that Alice had successfully breastfed all three of her kids. “Do you want to stay with Zoe at her place for another night?” She asked Willow. “You would? Great. Ummm, I’m with your friend Brett’s mum. Yes, cheeky, you’re right. Does that bother you? No? Good. Yeah, put Frankie on.”

Willow gave her phone to her sister. “I’d love to stay another night. I don’t care as long as you’re happy. Yeah, but until Zoe sat for us the first time, you were so miserable, and if Ms. Saunders makes you happy, then it’s all good.”

The Uber pulled up outside Lisa’s home, and the two new friends got out. Stuart saw them kiss and embrace on the front lawn, and suspected they were lovers. His mother hadn’t had any luck with men since his deadbeat father had fucked off with that tramp from down the road. His mother was laughing and grinning, and Stuart couldn’t care why. It was enough that she was.

“Hey, Mum,” Judith said, using Luke’s phone because she didn’t have her own. “Yeah, I’m still at the Carters. They’ve asked if I’d like to stay another night because the rest of the kids are. Aww, but, Mum. But, Mum. Oh, whatever! You never let me do anything fun! Nana and Poppa would have let me stay! Whatever!” Judith sighed, looked at Luke and handed him his phone.

“Hello?” Luke said questioningly. “She’s welcome to stay, Mrs Saunders. There are eleven kids under twenty here at the moment. Judith plus Alice’s three, Wendy Styles’ four, Shirley Wilson’s two, and my daughter, Zoe, who babysits for Alice, Wendy, and Shirley. But Wendy and my wife have just turned up, which I guess means Wendy will take her four home. No, it’s no problem. Okay. It’s up to you, obviously. Okay, umm, 27 Amberjack Street, Manly West. Okay, see you in about ten.”

Luke looked at Judith and shrugged apologetically. “I tried, kiddo.”

“Yeah, Mum’s overprotective usually,” Judith said glumly.

Lisa and Wendy came inside. “Got time for a coffee?” Lisa asked.

Wendy looked around and saw her three boys playing on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, neither of which she had. Her kids were still using their ancient PS2. Maddie sat with Willow, Grace, and Zoe, who were watching The Princess Diaries. She shrugged. “I ain’t got nothing but time,” she said. Then, she looked at Luke and remembered Shirley’s comment about how big his cock was. Her eyes dropped, but Luke wore a loose pair of sweatpants, which hid his package.

Lisa amusedly watched as her new friend checked out her husband. Women ogling her man wasn’t a new experience for Lisa, but she was confident in Luke’s love and found it amusing and not threatening.

Wendy hip-swayed across to Luke before holding out her hand, “Hello, handsome,” she said seductively. “We were a bit rushed last night, and I didn’t get a chance to say hello properly.”

Luke hid an eye roll. He didn’t find the tubby bottle-blonde attractive at all, but he politely took her proferred hand and introduced himself. “Pleased to meet you, Mrs Styles. I’m Zoe’s dad, Lisa’s husband, Luke.

“It’s Ms,” Wendy corrected smokily.

Luke glanced at his wife, who was trying not to laugh. Lisa knew Luke’s preference, and it wasn’t for floozy blondes. That Wendy was a little overweight wouldn’t bother her husband. It was more that she was being gauche and coming onto him in front of his wife that would turn him off.

Wendy quickly realised that Luke had no interest in her and turned back to Lisa, feeling embarrassed. “I think we might get going,” she said to cover her embarrassment.

“Can Stuart stay another night?” Zoe asked after prompting from Willow. “Poor Dad and Brett are overwhelmed with oestrogen, and I’m sure they’d love another man to help balance the odds.”

“If Mrs Carter doesn’t mind,” Wendy surprisingly said.

“I don’t mind,” Lisa quickly replied.

“Okay,” Wendy growled. “The rest of you pack your stuff up, and let’s go. Lisa, do you want me to come and get him tomorrow, or will you drop him off?”

“I’ll be working,” Lisa pointed out. “So will Luke. Do you mind coming and getting him?”

“Yeah, I can do that,” Wendy said. “I’ve got four hours of work in the afternoon. As usual, I’ll drop the other three at my mum’s and pick Stuart up on my way home. So, about three o’clock?”

Wendy gathered her three youngest and left. Alicia passed Wendy in the street, although neither woman knew the other. She took Judith, leaving Lisa and Luke to look after Brett, Stuart, Willow, Frankie, Matilda, and Grace.

Alicia pulled up and tooted the horn, which Lisa thought was rude to the extreme, but she let it go. Judith swiftly did the rounds, hugging and kissing everybody goodbye before grabbing her bag and walking to the car. Brett stood outside and waved goodbye, and although Judith waved back, her mother completely ignored him.

Lisa looked at her husband longingly. Having spent the night satiating her long-suppressed desire for pussy, Lisa ached for her husband’s cock. If not for the other youngsters in her home, Lisa would already be naked and on her back, encouraging Luke to plough her hard.

Luke caught Lisa’s look, grinned and shrugged. Then he winked. There wasn’t anything he could do now, but after the kids went to bed? Well, a day spent tired was nothing new since Lisa had brought Willow to their bed. The woman had been insatiable. Not that Luke was complaining!

Midday Sunday.

Lisa checked the youngsters in the lounge, but they were all engrossed in another movie, Malevolent, this time, so she started assembling lunch. She suspected that her husband had probably gone to Maccas to buy breakfast for everyone, which a quick look in the recycling confirmed, so she wanted something healthier for their midday meal. Surprisingly, Brett and Stuart came out and offered to help. Then, when Luke announced that he was going to the shed to work on his car, Zoe and Willow went with him.

Luke and Lisa wondered at the atypical juxtaposition of male and female roles but figured that the boys only had their mothers at home and were accustomed to helping them with the younger kids. Willow was sweet on her husband, which Lisa encouraged, and Zoe often helped him with his car, so there was nothing that unusual.

Brett had filled Stuart in that he (Brett) and Lisa got it on occasionally, and told him to follow his lead. Unlike their homes, Lisa’s kitchen was separate from the lounge and dining areas, which meant they weren’t visible from where the younger girls watched TV.

Brett moved close to Lisa, and when she turned, he touched her bottom lightly. Lisa didn’t object, so the next time he passed her, Brett ran his hands up the back of Lisa’s legs and groped her taut ass. Lisa unobtrusively wriggled away, but her body responded to the eighteen-year-old’s daring, with her nipples engorging and her centre becoming wet.

Lisa turned away from Brett to get some lettuce from the fridge, only to bump into Stuart. Lisa’s nipples rubbed across the young man’s chest, and she had to bite her bottom lip to stop from gasping. She started to back away, but Brett moved up behind her, and Lisa found herself in a teenage boy sandwich.

“May I kiss you, Mrs Carter?” Stuart asked, pressing his rampantly erect cock against Lisa’s belly.

“Do it, Mrs C,” Brett whispered in Lisa’s ear as he bent his knees and pushed his throbbing cock against Lisa’s ass.

Lisa’s skirt was incredibly short and barely covered her toned ass. She wore a G-string that was hardly more than two laces and left most of her ass and pussy exposed. Lisa’s top was backless, leaving her tummy bare. She was braless, and the nipples on her firm 32B breasts poked lewdly against her top. Brett’s stiff cock poking into her ass while Stuart’s throbbed against her belly ignited Lisa’s wanton desires, and she moaned as she kissed the teenager before her.

Brett and Stuart ground against her as their hands roamed over her taut body. Brett’s hands cupped and kneaded Lisa’s muscular bottom as Stuart’s less skilled but nevertheless knowing thumbs strummed Lisa’s nipples. Lisa’s mind had packed its lunch and taken a vacation, and her stiff nipples and throbbing clit had taken over her thinking. Lisa was hot and horny, and if these two young men wanted to fuck her in her kitchen, then Lisa’s rampant libido would let them. To hell with the risk of being caught and spilling her marriage down the drain.

The boys had Zoe’s mother on the cusp of an orgasm, but before she could leap off of it, the teenagers stepped away. Brett grinned and said, “I think we should finish getting lunch ready, don’t you, Mrs C?”

Despite wanting to scream in frustration, Lisa gathered her scattered wits and muttered some kind of agreement before taking the lettuce out. Brett waited until Lisa had almost gotten herself back under control before pressing his cock against her again and whispering, “But once lunch is laid out, Stuart and I are taking you to your bedroom and fucking you silly.”

“Oh, Gawd,” Lisa moaned as a soft orgasm washed through her. Lisa adored double-penetration. She loved triple and quadruple more, but those were so much more difficult to organise than being double-penetrated. Lisa hadn’t had two male lovers simultaneously since before settling down with Luke, and the thought of having two eighteen-year-olds in her lower love holes simultaneously had her libido redlining. All caution and reason had gone out the door.

Lisa hurriedly sliced the lettuce and tomatoes, put out cheese, butter, wraps, and bread. She took fruit from the crisper and put soft drinks on the table. Finally, Lisa opened the ham, chicken, and salami containers and added them to everything else on the bench. “Girls, come and get some lunch when you’re ready,” she called. “I’m going to lie down for a bit. Knock on my door if you need anything. Either that, or Luke’s in the garage, ask for his help.”

Lisa took Brett’s and Stuart’s hands and almost ran for her bedroom. She knew that Luke wouldn’t come inside for several hours and wasn’t concerned about her daughter. More than likely, Zoe would come inside to make lunch for herself, Willow, and her father and not even notice that her mother and two male friends were missing.

Lisa pulled her men inside her room and locked her door. Then, she turned to Brett and kissed him passionately as she tugged on his T-shirt, trying to get it off. Brett chuckled and allowed Lisa to remove his shirt before he returned the favour and took off Lisa’s top. Lisa’s firm breasts, with their pencil eraser-sized nipples, bounced delectably into his view. Brett cupped one breast as he lowered his mouth onto the other.

Not to be outdone, Stuart tugged on Lisa’s skirt and let it fall to the ground. Then, kneeling, he eased Lisa’s thong down and appreciatively inhaled Zoe’s mother’s aroma. Stuart’s experience was limited to Zoe, Judith, and Willow, but even so, he could smell Lisa’s arousal, and it made his cock throb and his balls ache. He experimentally pushed Lisa towards the bed and was delighted when she got onto it on her hands and knees.

Stuart quickly stripped and got on behind Lisa. Then, he daringly positioned his cock at Lisa’s dripping entrance and thrust inside. Lisa moaned before dipping her head and sucking Brett’s cock into her mouth. Lisa remembered her youth and how quickly teenage boys blew, and knew she had to release some pressure for them before they’d be capable of servicing her needs. Lisa released Brett’s dick and growled, “First one’s on me, boys. Stuart, no cumming in me just yet. Pull out and cum on my ass.”

She was just in time because the teen boys erupted immediately. Brett filled her mouth with a surprising amount of seed, and Stuart sprayed her ass and lower back with cum. Lisa groaned as another petite orgasm washed through her trembling body. She knew she should have felt guilty; this was her marital bed, after all. But all she felt was an aching, burning desire in her dripping nether regions. “On your back,” Lisa growled at Brett.

Brett eagerly complied, holding his still-erect cock so it pointed at the ceiling. Lisa swung her shapely thigh over his hip and lowered her overheated snatch onto it. She moaned way back in her throat as the young man’s sturdy, close enough to 6-inch cock filled her delightfully. Brett wasn’t as long or as broad as her husband, but Lisa had maintained her postpartum exercises, and her pussy was still as tight as a woman’s half her age. Something that Brett could readily attest to!

“Get your tongue in my ass,” Lisa demanded. “Then bring your cock here.”

Stuart was happy to obey orders, and he bent over and got to his task. Holding Lisa’s taut buns apart, Stuart inhaled the older woman’s musky odour before flattening his tongue and wiping it from Lisa’s drooling entrance where Brett’s cock thrust, along her perineum, and onto her dark ring. Then, curling his tongue as tightly as possible, Stuart stabbed Lisa’s rosebud. To his delight, Zoe’s mum’s anal sphincter fluttered open, and he slid about an inch of his tongue inside her ass.

“Oh, Gawd!” Lisa groaned. The faithful, controlled wife and mother she’d been for the last twenty-five years was gone. This was now Lisa at her primal best, her wanton body, which adored sex with multiple partners simultaneously, demanded more from her. “Damn the lubrication!” Lisa growled. “Stick your dick in my ass now!”

Stuart, whose meagre experience left him entirely unprepared for Lisa’s rampant sexuality, groaned, “Sorry, Mrs C, but if I do that, I’m going to cum immediately.”

“Don’t care!” Lisa snarled. “Pull out and cum on my lower back again and then stick your cock straight back in!”

Stuart thought that sounded about perfect, so he lined his slender 6-inch cock up with Mrs C’s rosebud. Then, he daringly smacked her taut ass and rammed it home, snarling, “Take that, bitch!”

“Too loud, Muppet,” Brett gasped from beneath them.

“Shit!” Stuart guiltily muttered. However, Lisa didn’t seem to mind, so he rained light smacks over her ass with his right hand as he dug the fingers on his left into Lisa’s taut bun and pulled her back onto his thrusting cock.

Lisa was too excited just to hold still, so she placed her hands in the middle of Brett’s slender chest to use for leverage and timed her hips to meet her boys. She’d push hard to thrust back at Stuart before rocking her hips forward to meet Brett’s thrust. “Squeeze my tits,” Lisa demanded.

Brett grinned knowingly at her as his hands cupped Lisa’s firm 32B breasts. He squeezed as he sought her nipples with his fingers and thumbs. Then, slamming his hips up with every ounce of force he could muster, Brett squeezed Lisa’s nipples mercilessly as he twisted and pulled.

“Ohh, ffffffuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!” Lisa hissed, biting Brett’s shoulder viciously to silence her ecstatic screams.

Lisa’s sphincters pulsed, gripping the cocks inside them spasmodically—momentarily almost painfully tight and then wholly loose. It was too much for her young men, and they bit their tongues to quieten their grunts as they unloaded into their Mistress’ mother.

“I hope you two aren’t done,” Lisa growled as she wriggled and encouraged Stuart off her. She turned and squatted over Brett’s dick. Then, taking it in her hand, she lowered her cum-filled ass onto it. “There are wipes on the dresser. Clean your cock and then stick it in my cunt!”

Stuart hurriedly obeyed, and he covered Mrs C’s gorgeous body and thrust back into her. He felt his balls against Brett’s, but that was a sensation he was swiftly coming to love, so he held still, buried entirely in Lisa’s snatch, and swivelled his hips, grinding his pubic bone against the mother’s clit and rubbing his balls against Brett’s.

Lisa’s moans encouraged the young men to go harder, so they created a pounding rhythm that sent their Mistress’ mother tumbling through several successive orgasms until, unable to bear the intensity of her feelings, Lisa demanded, “Fill me, boys!”

Stuart and Brett, who had been coincidentally doubling the same number, eighteen, groaned and released their grip on their climax. The boys stifled groans as their cocks exploded inside Lisa’s ass and pussy, filling her to overflowing.

“Come with me into my shower,” Lisa panted. “We’d better clean up and get out of here before the younger kids wonder where we are. I hope you can cum in my mouth in the shower, though.”

Luke Gets Lucky Again.

“It’s not fair that you and Zoe have matching overalls and I don’t,” Willow mock-pouted.

“What do you suggest we do instead, young lady?” Luke queried. “That we all get naked?”

“Yes,” Willow dared.

Luke blanched even though his cock lurched. Clearly, Luke’s little head was not averse to being naked with the two teens. Even though he still felt guilty about the previous night, and nor did he have any idea how to tell Lisa he’d fucked their daughter, Luke couldn’t help but wonder if he’d get a step further than last night and fuck Willow and his daughter simultaneously.

Luke didn’t know that his daughter had sent her teen lovers to seduce his wife. It had been almost forty-five minutes with no sign of the boys, which meant they’d succeeded and were currently banging his wife as well as they knew how.

Zoe’s pussy fluttered at the thought of slipping away from Willow and her father and joining Brett and Stuart with her mother. However, Zoe needed to get her father over his guilt at making love to her, and the quickest way to do that was to get him to fuck her again. “Let’s do it, Dad,” Zoe said encouragingly. “I know you, Mum, and Willow get it on together, so why don’t we three try that?”

‘Whynot indeed?’ Luke’s recalcitrant mind wondered. He looked around and pulled off the sheets protecting his car’s seats and dashboard, using them to block the window facing the house. He turned to find Willow and his daughter already naked and indulging in a passionate sixty-nine on the uncovered back seat. Willow was on top, so Luke quickly stripped and squatted behind his young lover. He gasped as he felt his daughter’s lips in his glans and then along his shaft as he penetrated Willow’s delectably tight pussy.

With Zoe’s tongue on his balls and shaft, Luke despaired he’d last long enough to get Willow to her peak. But he needn’t have worried because Willow was wildly excited about being fucked by her Mistress’ father as her Mistress ate her pussy. It only took a few firm pumps from Luke’s lengthy cock before Willow squealed into Zoe’s pussy as her climax hit.

Feeling and hearing Willow cum allowed Luke to take his satisfaction from the young girl’s grippingly tight pussy, and he tried not to make too much noise as his nuts cramped against his shaft and he pumped Willow full of his seed. Luke gasped again as he felt his daughter’s hand caressing his balls and milking every drop of cum from them.

Willow moved forward and off Luke’s drooping cock, but before he could lean back, Zoe gripped his shaft and guided it into her mouth. Willow slid off Zoe and pushed insistently on the back of Luke’s head. “Taste her, Mr C,” Willow demanded.

“Oh, Gawd,” Luke moaned, knowing his marriage and soul were doomed. Fucking his daughter alone in his bed while the others slept and his wife was away was one thing. Eating her pussy before an audience was something else altogether. He lowered his head and tasted Zoe eagerly.

“That’s it, good Daddy,” Willow encouraged. “Make your daughter cum. Watching you do that has me so hot that I’m sure I could explode!”

Luke looked up and saw Willow standing with her knees parted and bent. The young woman’s pussy was bare centimetres from his mouth, so he patted his lips, indicating she should push it against them. Willow moaned, held the back of Luke’s head, and ground her clitoris against his head as she held her clitoral hood back.

Smacking his lips, Luke tongued Willow’s heated gash and stabbed his tongue into it as far as it would go. True to her word, Willow exploded almost immediately, so Luke lowered his head and savored his daughter’s swiftly flowing essence once more. The sheer naughtiness of sharing his daughter with an eighteen-year-old caused Luke’s wilted cock to roar back to life, and he was quickly harder than advanced trigonometry.

“On your back, Mr C,” Willow insisted.

Luke was not about to object, and he quickly took his daughter’s vacated spot on the car seat. Willow immediately lowered her cum-drooling pussy onto his lips. Luke, ever the considerate lover, ignored his oozing cum and immediately latched his lips around Willow’s entrance, and he repeatedly stabbed his tongue into the young woman’s pussy.

Zoe took her father’s enormous 7-inch cock in her hand and lowered herself onto its tip. She teased herself for several minutes before luxuriantly sighing and easing her soaking pussy down his shaft, letting him slowly fill her to the brim. Zoe sighed again as her perineum came to rest on her father’s hefty balls. Zoe exchanged looks with Willow before the girls leaned forward and passionately kissed. “Thank you so much for helping me make this happen,” Zoe said quietly, her forehead momentarily pressed against the younger woman’s.

“You’re very welcome, Mistress,” Willow said. She thought that Zoe wanting to fuck her parents was as sexy as all fuck despite having no interest in doing the same with her mother. Willow’s father had been gone for so long she wasn’t even sure if she’d recognise him if they bumped into each other. Willow knew he’d quit his job and gone on the dole so he didn’t have to pay child support, and as far as she was concerned, that was all she needed to know—he was a deadbeat and not worth her time.

In a small way, Willow was jealous of her Mistress having a handsome father she was close to, but she loved her mother and knew she did what she could to give her and her sister a good life. It was certainly a safe one, with Shirley quickly dumping any boyfriend who even looked sideways at her daughters in an inappropriate manner.

The teenagers returned their attention to the man beneath them and concentrated on climbing to their peaks. Willow adored Luke’s tongue on her body. The older man was far more assured in his movements than her teenage lovers, and long years of experience had taught Luke how to read a woman’s responses and react accordingly.

Yes, most of those years were spent solely with Lisa, but even though his body count wasn’t a tenth of his wife’s, nor had Luke been moping around home while his future wife fucked her way through university. Lisa was a demanding lover who was multi-orgasmic, which meant he had to lift his game to keep up with his wife’s needs. Luke eagerly swapped his cock for his lips, tongue, and fingers as required to drive his lover to another peak. His daughter and her friend were quickly discovering that!

Luke’s skilled tongue brought Willow to scintillating back-to-back orgasms, and his sublime control meant that his daughter had ridden his sturdy cock to three. Willow struggled towards another peak, but her mind refused to concentrate on Luke’s tongue and concentrated on where she could see his cock emerging from and disappearing into his daughter’s pussy.

“Swap?” She pleaded.

“Yes,” Zoe gasped. She wanted to feel her father erupt into her pussy again but knew she’d have ample opportunities to do so, whereas her young friend’s chances were limited.

Luke lay panting as his girls swapped ends, and his lips eagerly sought his daughter’s clitoris when she lowered her sweltering pussy onto his lips. Luke’s jaw ached, his lips were numb, and his tongue felt swollen, but he was not going to be the subject of the old joke: What does a man do who has two female lovers? He disappoints them both!

Willow briefly sucked her Mistress’ juices off her older lover’s dick before straddling Luke’s hips and lowering herself onto his staunch pole. Willow’s sole experience with two men simultaneously pleasing her had been with Brett and Stuart earlier this same week. Whereas she’d had many sessions with Zoe and Brett, and Willow had already decided she much preferred having mfm threesomes than mff ones.

Willow hoped that Stuart and Brett would become more daring and do more together. She thought being on the bottom with one man in her pussy and the other fucking that man’s ass would be a deliciously decadent thing to experience.

Luke lasted longer than any man had the right to, really. Especially one with two nubile eighteen-year-old’s on his mouth and cock. He brought Zoe to a stupendous orgasm before Willow tipped her head forward and bit Zoe’s neck viciously to prevent her climax screams from reaching the house. Grateful that he’d made it, Luke relaxed and then had to bite his tongue as his orgasm hit, and he needed to roar his approval. Zoe helped by mashing her pussy against her father’s mouth, giggling, “Shhh, Daddy. The young ones will think Willow and I are murdering you.”

“You are killing me, ladies,” Luke joked. “An old man of nearly fifty just cannot keep up with two teenagers.”

“Bullshit, Daddy,” Zoe joked back. “Besides, you’re only as old as the woman you’re feeling, and Willow’s only eighteen.”

‘Jaysus!’ Luke realised. ‘Even if you add their ages together, they’re younger than me!’ “Even so,” Luke protested mildly. “This old man’s done for a bit. Shall we take the sheet down before your mother gets suspicious?”

“Probably a good idea,” Zoe admitted, even though she knew that her mother was probably still being vigorously rogered by Stuart and Brett.

The lovers reluctantly dressed, and Willow, who had no real interest in cars beyond their use as a means of transport, sat on the re-covered car seat as Luke and Zoe continued to take the Torana engine apart. They almost had the engine down to the block. Unfortunately, as they removed the last piston, they exposed a crack in the cylinder wall. It would require a specialist to check, but Luke suspected a simple rebore and re-sleeve would fix it. However, that meant they were done for the day. Luke would load the engine block into his ute and take it to a specialist the following weekend.

After cleaning up at the sink Luke had installed in the garage, Luke and his girls went inside to get lunch. Their timing was perfect because his wife, Stuart, and Brett had just entered the kitchen as well.

Sunday Afternoon and Early Evening.

Husband and wife greeted each other with a guilty kiss, thinking they’d been the only ones being naughty, but neither suspected the other of anything untoward, so it went unnoticed. Lisa put up with the men fumbling around, making a mess for about three seconds before sending them to the table. She, Willow, and Zoe made sandwiches and wraps as required.

Matilda, who had calmed considerably after chatting with her father and being set down by Luke, led the younger girls in and watched as they rinsed their plates and put them in the dishwasher. Maddie and Frankie pretty much only put up with it to keep the peace, but Grace was accustomed to it and was pleased that her sister asked politely rather than haughtily demanding as she typically did.

May we please watch another movie, Mrs Carter?” Matilda asked politely.

“Of course you may, Mattie,” Lisa said warmly, then wondered why Matilda almost preened. Lisa was unaware that only Andrew, Matilda’s father, called her Mattie. She loved it when people used that name because it made her feel older and more mature.

“What are we allowed to watch?” Maddie asked curiously. The Styles had no streaming services because Wendy couldn’t afford them.
