Eventually

Lisa stepped into the kitchen and deposited the goods upon the table, breathing a sigh of relief at being home once more. She took off her sandals, preferring to go barefoot inside, then went about putting her shopping away. She wandered the house, then the shop only to find it closed with no sign of Usher. With a shrug she decided to get to work and tackle some of the chores that had been piling up on her mental list.

She pondered where to start when she realised she would need water for practically every task on her list, a considerable hurdle given Usher's constant lack of it. Sighing heavily to herself she considered her options when there came a knock at the door. Worry gnawed at her gut, uncertain whether to answer it in Usher's absence but she quickly overcame it - this was her home too she reasoned, both this house and this town. She needed to harden up and start acting like it.

Lisa strode over to the door and opened it wide in a single motion, surprised to see Billy Connors, Beth's brother standing on the doorstep. His eyes widened as he saw her and he quickly averted his gaze, Lisa noticing and tugging self consciously at her tassles in an attempt to better cover herself. The teen boy continued to look away as he spoke. "Sorry t be interruptin' miss... uhhh, Mrs Usher." he began, Lisa cursing internally at the realisation that the shopkeeper had already started spreading her news. "Mrs Grady, the woman at the store sent me to give you this." he held out his hand which contained a few coins, her change she realised as the moment of her hasty exit from the store replayed in her mind.

"Oh! Thank you son... Billy isn't it? Look I hope your sister isn't still mad at me..." Lisa's earlier idea returned to her and she continued. "Say, how about you do me a favour and you can keep that money for yourself?"

Billy cocked his head at that, looking up to meet Lisa's gaze and doing his best not to look at anything else. Clearly curious about the offer he said. "I ain't seen my sister for a time ma'am, uhh... Mrs Usher but sure I might be innerested in some work if that be yer meaning."

"Yes, great yes..." Lisa gushed, stepping back inside briefly to root around in a nearby cupboard before returning with a couple of large buckets. "All I need you to do is fill these up with water for me and bring them back. Then you can keep the money... deal?"

Billy's eyes widened before his expression turned to one of confusion, looking at her like she was mad for a moment before quickly shaking it off and nodding enthusiastically. "Ya got yerself a deal Mrs Usher. Hell, I'll fill 'em twice for that."

A smile broke out across Lisa's face, finding the boy's enthusiasm infectious and pleased that her plan had so quickly come into play. Hopefully by paying the siblings for some odd jobs here and there she could help them survive a little easier without their Pa around to look after them. Billy grabbed the buckets and dashed off leaving Lisa alone again. She managed to find a couple of empty jugs and a wash tub which she set out on the table then awaited Billy's return. To her surprise he was back in just a few minutes and he helped her pour the buckets out into her collection of containers before dashing off again. In no time he was back, grinning widely at having completed his task - Lisa was now the proud owner of several gallons of fresh water.

She thanked Billy who quickly scampered off with his earnings, then Lisa set to work. She started in the kitchen, taking down the curtains before scrubbing the windows and floor. She then repeated the process in the bedroom and what passed for their bathroom before leaving them to dry and heading out back with the washing.

She soaked the curtains, wringing them out and soaking them again several times before beating them and hanging them from the top beam of the porch to dry in the afternoon sun.

Exhausted she sat down at the kitchen table and poured herself a glass of water, gulping it down thirstily. It was refreshing but didn't seem to quite hit the spot so she followed it up with a tall glass of hooch which definitely helped to improve her mood and chase away her aches and pains. It was some time later, as she was hanging the first of the freshly washed curtains in the kitchen that Usher returned home, his heavy footfalls clumping on the floorboards as he approached. Lisa was stretched up high on her tip toes trying to install the curtain rod when he walked in, giving the man a wonderful view. His wife's long legs were slightly parted and stretched to their fullest as she leaned over the kitchen counter, her pert ass and puffy pussy on full display under the shimmering tassles dangling from her hips.

"Fuck me darlin, ain't that a sight." he exclaimed, dropping a sack onto the table as he stomped over to her. "Let me give ya a hand." Usher reached one hand between her legs, holding her up as her slit drooled over his thick fingers while the other reached up to take the end of the rod from her and easily place it into the hook just out of his wife's reach. Lisa turned to smile at him over her shoulder as she lowered herself from her tip toes, in doing so, mashing herself into his hand. She let out a soft whine as Usher groped her before he removed his hand and brought it to his nose for a sniff.

"Mmmmmm." he grunted, "seems like ya missed me." he looked around the room properly, admiring her handiwork. "Looks like ya had a busy day love. Why dontcha pour us both a drink and tell me how you went." he commanded rather than asked.

Lisa glanced at the semi bare windows, keen to complete her chore but that could wait. She jumped into action, fixing them both a tall glass of hooch while Usher took a seat, then handing him his drink before taking her place at his side, waiting patiently for his next command. He patted his thigh and she eagerly hopped into his lap, his big hands quickly groping at her bare butt and thighs, making her squirm slightly. She recounted her trip to the store, leaving out much of the detail but making a point of mentioning her dislike of Mrs Grady.

"Ahhh she's a right cunt that one." he chuckled. "Good on ya for spottin it right away. She's tha kinda bitch who'll pretend to be yer friend then go spillin all ya secrets round town. Don't worry love." he said, giving her ass a comforting squeeze. "She'll get hers one day." Lisa giggled in response, then went on to tell him about how she left her change but ended up giving it to Billy in return for bringing her the water to clean with.

Usher's hands stopped moving and she could immediately tell something was wrong. She wriggled around to look at him, his haggard old face a mask of fury as he inhaled deeply, then hissed angrily, "That fuckin lil thief. I'll fuckin' kill him for stealin' off ya like that."

"No, no!" Lisa pleaded, caressing his powerful arms gently in an effort to soothe him. "I paid him to do a job. You never have any water and I didn't know where to get it from. I probably paid too much but he was very helpful. Besides, he and his sister could use a helping hand, what with losing their Pa and all."

Usher seemed to relax slightly as the penny dropped. "Ahhh o course... the water." he said, reaching around her to grab his drink and take a long sip. The dumb bitch still hadnt realised he was just making up stories to get her drunk and get into her pants. He would have to tread carefully around that truth when the time came. "Makes sense love, sorry - just the kid's got a history." he began, wiping the whiskey from his mouth. "His little bitch sister too. Coupla thieves dontcha know. But you're right love, I know y'are. Kids just need a bit o guidance ta keep em outta trouble. I've got a few ideas ta keep em in line."

Lisa beamed happily at this news. She knew he would see the right of it... she would help Beth and Billy through this tough time. They both would, together. She began to stroke at his thigh beneath her, her fingers easily finding his hardening cock and stroking at it with her fingertips. He stiffened quickly and soon pushed her off his lap. "Why dontcha go put up that other curtain love... I'll come help ya in a minute." She smirked seductively at him, "Whatever you say, love." she cooed back before padding over the window and threading the curtain rod through the loops of fabric one by one.

Lisa was back on her tip toes, reaching high with the rod when she felt Usher's hand down there once more. When he slid two thick fingers deep inside her, his thumb pressing hard against her puckered asshole she dropped the rod and gripped the bench, catching a glimpse of the growing darkness outside as dusk fell before closing her eyes and giving herself to the pleasure. She did not spot the shadowy figures watching silently from outside. Neither of them did, too lost in each other as Usher lined up his cock and speared his wife violently, again and again, blissfully unaware they were putting on quite a show.
