The Evolution of Jamie
Chapter 1:
My wife of twenty years stands next to me as I check my appearance in the
mirror by the front door. I smile nervously back at my image as I check my
uniform and take a deep breath. I have to say I'm a little tense today.....
Not that I'm different than anyone else who starts a new job in a different
field.
"Don't worry honey," my wife Lil says to me. "Everything will work out just
fine. It's just like any other new job. I'm sure you'll catch on real
quick. I mean, you're a smart one and Abby tells me the senior staff is
always eager to train a new hire."
I take another deep breath and start to open the front door. My wife gives
me a peck on the cheek as I walk out onto the stoop and head down the steps
toward my car.
"Besides just think about the benefits," she calls after me. "The medical
alone is worth it!"
I click the alarm fob on my key chain and open the door to the car. I slip
into the seat and put the key in the ignition. My heart starts to pound as
I start the car. The engine turns over without issue..... No mechanical
trouble today to keep me from my new job. Putting the car into drive I head
down the block at a slow pace. I'm definitely obeying the speed limit
today. It's about a 20 minute drive but it seems to go by at the speed of
light. Even though I've made that drive dozens of times when I pull up in
front of the small medical building I almost can't remember how I got there.
I turn into the parking lot and pull into a spot with an "EMPLOYEE PARKING"
sign in front of it. I turn off the ignition, take another deep breath and
get out of the car. Wow, after twenty years in retail I'm about to embark
on a new career in the health care industry. I walk toward the rear employee
entrance, toward the sign that says,
"DR. ABBY LANDERS - OB/GYN"
Why did I make the switch? It might not be what you think so here's my
story.
Chapter 2:
I met my future wife a few weeks after I graduated from college. I was still
living at home but had just gotten a new job, so I got the guys together to
celebrate the occasion at the local sports bar. We got there early so we
could watch the ballgame from the beginning. The place was pretty empty
when we arrived. Slowly but surely the bar filled up and about half way
through the game I noticed a group of nice looking girls come in and take
some seats on the other side of the bar. They were all pretty good looking
but it was the cute redhead of the group that caught my eye. I thought to
myself after the game was over and I was fortified with a few more beers
maybe I would make a play for her. See, although I thought I was a decent
looking guy I usually relied on a six pack of beer to give me courage when
it came to approaching the ladies. Throughout the game I kept stealing a
glance over at their table but as the girls were busy chatting away my
spying went unnoticed. When the game was almost over they all got up.
"Damn, I probably blew my chance" I thought to myself. But instead of the
three of them leaving it turned out they were just taking a bathroom break.
"Yep, when one goes they all go," I chuckled to myself. As I watched the
redhead walk toward the bathroom I couldn't help but notice her shapely
bottom and legs. The game had just wrapped up when the girls came back to
their seats. I figured it was time to make a move. But despite being
fortified by the beer and a victory from my team I was still too shy to take
matters fully into my own hands. Calling over the bartender I asked him to
tell the redhead I wanted to buy her a drink. He walked over where the gals
were sitting and started speaking to her. I tried to act nonchalant while
nervously hoping she would accept my offer. After a few seconds she looked
across at me and smiled. I grabbed my beer off the bar and went over to her
side of the bar. My buddies followed suit.
"Hi. I'm James," I said to her.
"I'm Lillian," she answered. "But my friends call me Lil."
Feeling buoyed by my apparent good fortune I answered back but still a bit
tentative in my approach. "Can I call you Lil then?"
"Why? Do you want to be my FRIEND?" she teased. The tone of her voice
indicated she was bent on having a bit of fun with me.
"Well.... Friends at the very least," I quipped. "Hopefully, more than that."
Now, time to pour on the compliments.
"Lil, I gotta tell you. Your hair is gorgeous. I've always had a special
thing for redheads."
"Oh really?" she shot back with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Looking
for another notch in your belt are you?"
I felt a warming in my cheeks. Hoping I hadn't blown my chance I lowered my
eyes just a bit and responded meekly, "Oh no..... Nothing like that.... I'm
not that kind of guy. Really!"
Lil smiled back at me. "Better not be, I don't give players the right time
of day."
I breathed a sigh of relief, took another swig of beer and smiled back. I
was hooked.
All in all it was a great night with the six of us closing down the bar. By
the end of the night I had impressed Lil enough that she let me drive her
back to her folk's house. We spent a few minutes in front of her house
chatting while I worked up the courage to ask her for her number and a kiss
goodnight. I got both as I walked her to the door. I promised to call her
the next night.
Chapter 3:
I followed up on my promise and we started dating. A dinner, some movies and
a few nights back at the sports bar always followed up by a passionate half
hour or so in front of her house became our regular routine. I had gotten
to know her pretty well and liked her a lot. She was intelligent (although
I couldn't figure out why she dropped out of college) and easy to talk to.
Although she was opinionated we shared the same politics and musical tastes
so no problems there. She tolerated my love of baseball, while I returned
the favor by sitting through a few chick flicks. So, after five dates I
decided I wanted to get to know her even better. I worked up the courage to
ask her to spend the night at a motel.
"I thought you'd never ask," she teased me. "What happened to the three
date rule?"
I smiled and answered, "I just didn't want you to think I was some kind of
douche bag just looking to get in your panties."
"Don't ever worry about that James," she assured me. "Nobody gets in my
panties unless I want them to." There was a hint of playfulness in her eyes
as she finished that last sentence. We decided that Friday would be the
night.
We started out our special night with a nice dinner that I had trouble
enjoying because I was so nervous about our first night of real intimacy.
But it turned out to be a great night of sex, for me as well as her (at
least it seemed that way to me). The best I'd ever had, although it wasn't
like I had volumes to compare it to. You see I wasn't the player she
accused me of being.
Our relationship continued another six months along the same path when Lil
decided it was time we got an apartment and moved in together. I was glad to
be out of my Mom's house and I'm sure she felt the same way about getting
out of her parent's place. Things went great the next couple of months. We
were both working so we always had plenty of cash to enjoy ourselves and to
bank a good amount as well. I worked as a retail manager in one of those big
box electronics retailers and she did some freelance jobs. I mean, what more
could a guy want? I lived with a cute girl, got laid any time I wanted and
still had the chance to hang out with the guys too! Then, one night after I
came home from work the unexpected happened. Lil was sitting on the couch
and watching TV but when I gave her a kiss hello something just didn't seem
right.
"Hey babe," she started. "I think it's time we had a talk about something."
"Oh shit," I thought to myself. "What's this all about? Am I hanging out
with my buddies too much? Watching too much baseball? Drinking too much
beer?" Or even worse, "Ain't I good enough in the sack?" My male intuition
told me this discussion might require a little fortification so I went to
the fridge and popped the top off a bottle of beer and took a swig. I
walked over and sat down next to her on the couch and gathered my thoughts
so I could be prepared for whatever was wrong.
"Sure Lil. What is it?" I answered.
"You know James. We've been going out almost a year now and so I think......"
she hesitated for a moment.
I almost was afraid to look in her eyes but I did.
"I think it's time for a commitment from you, don't you think? I mean we
can't live in sin forever." She smiled at me as she spoke but even so my
heart skipped a beat for a second or two. A commitment? Serious stuff!
Damn, was she talking about marriage? You mean my freewheeling days were
going to be over? I mean, not that I really was freewheeling. But I still
looked at myself as single. Sure, I looked at any pretty girl I saw, even
flirted with a few at work. But I never followed up on any of it. I loved
Lil, but marriage? Crap! But after a few seconds of cost-benefit analysis I
gave her the answer she was looking for.
"Uh well. Aw Lil," I stammered out the first few words as I quickly thought
up my excuse. "You must have read my mind. I was just thinking the same
thing. What say you and I go to the jewelry store tomorrow and pick out a
ring? I wouldn't dare pick one out unless I knew you were going to love
it."
The smile on her face told me she bought my story.
The next day we went to the jeweler and picked out a nice engagement ring
from an estate collection. Then just to make it official, after I paid for
it I got down on one knee in the store and asked her to marry me. My
proposal seemed to catch her by surprise as I saw her start to blush. But
she regained her composure quickly and turned the tables on me. I felt the
eyes of the shop owner and the two female customers staring at me as Lil
looked down at me and said nothing. For a moment I wondered if this was
some kind of trick to embarrass me. I'm sure my lack of confidence was
evident on my face as I felt my cheeks flush while I nervously awaited her
response. She looked at me, sternly at first, almost as if to remind me even
though I was the one proposing, she was the one in charge. After what
seemed like ages her stern look dissolved into a victorious smile.
"Of course my love," Lil finally replied. "I'd love to have you as my
husband."
Red faced, I breathed a sigh of relief and got off my knees while the ladies
in the store clapped lightly and had a good giggle at my expense. On our
way home we stopped off at the liquor store, bought a couple of bottles of
champagne and went home to celebrate.
Finally back at our apartment, my new fianc? set about fixing us some dinner
while I chilled one bottle in a bucket of ice and put the other in the
fridge. I grabbed a beer to start the celebration early. Then I decided to
tease her a bit about making me wait for her acceptance to my proposal.
"Hey Lil? What was up with making me wait so long on my knees?" I asked her
with a bit of a cocky tone.
Lil noticed the bit of boldness in my voice and immediately shot back.
"Excuse me Mister?" she said as if I was a naughty boy who'd just been
caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
My bravado quickly evaporated. "Hey hon," I answered apologetically. "I'm
sorry, I was just teasing."
She looked back at me straight faced and said calmly. "Well, how long did
you make me wait for your proposal? Turn about is fair play, don't ya
think?" Once she saw the embarrassed look on my face she giggled. "Gotcha!
Now come over here and give me a hug."
I put down my beer and quickly went over to get my reward. We wrapped our
arms around each other and kissed for a moment, letting our hands wander
around each others bodies with each of us finishing the embrace with some
playful pinches to each others bottoms.
"God James," she teased. "You know you have no ass? A girl likes to have
something to grab onto once in a while."
"I'll give you something to grab onto," I shot back while I grabbed my
crotch.
Lil quickly returned my serve. "That little thing?" she said with a naughty
smile. "You're the reason for that old saying; more than a handful is a
waste. Let's face it; you won't be making any pornos with your four inch
pecker." It became apparent to me right then and there that Lil was never
going to be the type to back down from a challenge and would always ready to
give better than she got.
"Well, that was one and out," I thought to myself. I assumed her barb was
all in fun but I didn't want my ego deflated any further so I shut my mouth.
I always knew I wasn't porn star material in the cock department but I
always tried to make up for it in other ways. I loved to lick Lil's tits
during our love-making sessions and made sure between tonguing her and
frigging her with my finger she at least orgasmed before me. The other
times I would make sure she was at the brink before I would penetrate her.
And I was always sure to ask her if I satisfied her. I wasn't the most
muscular guy either but neither was I a skinny wimp. I was an inch or two
taller than my fianc? with longish blonde hair and a beard. I was toned and
lean probably more a result of a high metabolism than exercise. At work I
spent all day on my feet chasing down employees and helping customers. With
all these thoughts flooding my mind my lack of confidence as a lover must
have shown itself in on my face.
"Oh stop sulking James," Lil commanded. "I've told you many times you're a
sweet and gentle lover. You always see to my needs before yours."
My frown turned to a smile as I heard my fianc?'s praise.
"You think I didn't notice?" she continued. "Just being able to mount a
girl and pound her into submission doesn't make a good lover now does it?
In fact I think most guys would be better off learning how to make love to
their ladies without that thing between legs once in a while. You know,
using their heads instead of their hard-ons."
I felt much better after Lil's lecture about love making. I picked up my
beer, took a swig and hit the remote on the TV looking for a baseball game.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Lil shake her head and smile just as I
found the right channel.
Dinner cooked while I watched an inning or two of the game and when it was
done Lil fixed her and I a plate and came over and sat down on the couch. I
complimented her after the first bite, washed it down with another swig of
brew and then slowly finished the meal. While I watched the game Lil
started to talk about wedding plans and preparations. I tried my best to
look interested and answer her questions when I was asked my opinion, but
truthfully she could have been telling me the menu would be cow's brains and
crackers and that she would be wearing a pink polka dot wedding dress.
Fortunately the game ended quick..... Right about when Lil finished talking
about the wedding plans. I got up and asked if she was ready to celebrate
our engagement and when she said yes I went over, grabbed two champagne
glasses and popped open the bubbly. I poured two flutes, handed one to her
and then raised mine.
"Here's to marrying the most beautiful woman in the world." I smiled and
tilted my glass toward hers.
"And here's to my sweet fianc? James." She returned my smile and followed
by saying, "Come on my love. Let's grab that bottle and go to the bedroom
so I can find something else to grab on to."
With that we went off to the bedroom, me with the ice bucket, bottle and my
glass while Lil brought her own glass. Just as I put the bucket down on the
night stand my fianc? grabbed a shank of my hair and gave it a playful tug,
guiding me down to my knees. I looked up at her wondering if she was a
little buzzed after one glass of bubbly.
"Get those clothes off," she ordered playfully.
I quickly obliged as she climbed up on the bed and flipped on the radio.
Some slow, sexy sounding song was playing. She sat with her back up against
the headboard as I stripped down to my briefs, all the while smiling
mischievously.
"Let's have some fun now. Get up off the floor and pour me another glass of
champagne James" she ordered.
I got up and poured Lil another glass. As I did she giggled and then gave
me another order.
"You know what? How about some live entertainment?" she asked although I
didn't really think it was a request. "Give me a little dance and do a nice
slow strip tease."
I looked at her and hesitated.
"Aw, come on Lil. That's silly. You know I can hardly dance let alone do a
strip tease," I begged, hoping to be let off the hook.
She gave me that look and shot back.
"Listen James, if you want to get INTO my panties you'd better get out of
yours and do it the way I want." She raised an eyebrow waiting for the
correct answer.
"Oh what the hell," I thought to myself. So I stepped back and went to the
foot of the bed. I did my best to gyrate my hips to the music while Lil
started to giggle.
"Woo hoo! Take it off baby!" she cat-called.
I tried to dance seductively, turning my bottom toward her and flash some
skin. As she clapped and tried to whistle I spun around and started push my
hips forward and back. The little bit of air-fucking I was doing was
starting to get me excited and I started to feel my cock swell. Maybe
acting like a stripper wasn't so bad. I guess Lil noticed my excitement as
well as she began to pat the mattress next to her beckoning me over.
Realizing I got off easy I slipped out of my underwear and took my place
next to Lil.
"See, that wasn't so bad now, was it," she asked. In truth, she didn't so
much question me as tell me. Come to think of it most of her questions
weren't really questions but rather statements or affirmations of her
opinions. "You're quite the exhibitionist when you want to be. In fact,
judging from that little hard on you've got one might think you actually
enjoyed it." She finished her compliment with a peck on my cheek while
reaching down and lightly stroking my erection.
Her touch practically melted me. I returned her peck with a more passionate
kiss of my own. My tongue slithered between her lips and we frenched for a
few moments while my hands began to roam around her still clothed body. As
we kissed I unfastened the first two buttons of her blouse, brought one hand
under the fabric and began to caress her lace covered breast. As soon as I
felt her nipple start to respond I decided it was time to get her out of
that blouse and bra. Breaking away from her lips I started a full frontal
assault on her blouse, looking away from her eyes while undoing the
remaining buttons as quick as I could. When I had the blouse undone I
looked back in her eyes and saw her nod to me to continue.
I was a little surprised by her action.
"Wow, it's like she's giving me permission to finish undressing her," I
thought to myself. "Did I need permission to strip my fianc? down to make
love to her?" But I was so horny at the moment the crazy thought vanished
from my mind in an instant. I reached around her back, quickly unhooked her
black lace bra and almost tore it and the blouse off her. Once her chest
was completely naked I dove into her luscious breasts, massaging one while
sucking on the other. As I did I slowly guided her onto her back. I went
back and forth between the two for ten minutes or so, circling my finger
around her areola and occasionally tweaking and pinching her erect nipples.
She moaned and cooed with pleasure.
Once I decided I had paid enough attention to her breasts I slid my tongue
lower, drawing a thin line on her tummy with my tongue while I slipped my
fingers inside the waist band of her black leggings. I shimmied them down a
little at a time, slowly exposing her black panty hose. Although I knew she
owned panties she almost never wore them, preferring the lace panty type of
hose. As soon as I had her leggings down far enough I leaned in toward her
crotch so I could inhale her sexy aroma while placing a few kisses in just
the right places.
"God, there is nothing more intoxicating than a woman's scent," I thought to
myself. I smiled again when I realized I would be inhaling her perfume for
the next day or two once her juices were soaked into my mustache and beard.
It didn't make a difference how many times I washed my face either. Just one
of nature's miracles I guess. Unfortunately, I had to withdraw for a moment
as I finished pulling off her tight leggings and tossing them aside. I went
back right back to her crotch and began to kiss her through the sheer
fabric. By now I was feeling extra horny and wanted to get her naked as
quickly as possible so I broke away again. I slipped my fingers inside the
waistband of the panty hose and started to pull them down. I felt a little
tap on the top of my head followed by Lil's voice.
"Up bup!" she said smartly. "J-aaaames? What do you think you are doing."
Again, not a question but rather her method of getting my attention. I
looked up at her, startled by the question.
"Ummmm, getting you undressed so I can make mad, passionate love to my new
fianc?. Is there a problem? Uh, you don't have your period do you?" Lil's
period never stopped us before although the love-making was more my sided
during her time. I tried to sound as confident as I could but still
confused as to why all of a sudden it seemed like I needed her permission to
screw around with her.
"No, I don't have my period and how chauvinistic of you to say that.
Remember just because you're my fianc? now doesn't mean you get to start
acting like a hound dog," she admonished. "You could ask just once in a
while instead of acting like some sex-starved teenager trying to nail the
cheerleading captain."
"I'm sorry babe," I said meekly, perplexed by this new behavior. "May I
please finish undressing you so I can make my best girl feel extra special?"
"Of course sweetie, but be careful you don't put a run in my hose. Or
else!" Lil warned me. But soon that stern look evaporated into a big,
loving smile as I started to carefully remove her panty hose.
With Lil finally naked I spread her legs apart and went to worship at her
temple. Parting her pubic hair with two fingers I dipped my tongue gently
into her wet sex and began to dig around, looking to find her nub. It
didn't take long to find and when I did I was delighted to feel her love
button nice and swollen. At least I knew I was doing a good job despite all
this new permission stuff.
I kept tongue fucking Lil, alternating between soft and hard thrusts. When
she started to moan I brought my finger into her wet tunnel and started to
frig her. My tongue went back to her swollen nub and I picked up the pace
with my finger. She moaned louder and I could feel her thighs start to
tighten around my head. I knew she was going to come soon so I put both
tongue and finger into full throttle. Her grip got even tighter around my
head and she started to buck and grind.
"Oooooh God! J-aaaames! YES..... YES!...... Aaaaargh!" Lil howled in deep
passion.
Lil exploded with an orgasm like I'd never heard before. I was pretty damn
proud of myself. I got out from between her legs and went up and hugged and
kissed my sated fianc?. Even though my hard prick was struggling to break
the four inch mark and wanted satisfaction I knew I had to let Lil recover
for a few moments before I started with her again.
"Excellent work," she giggled at me. "I guess you're worth making a husband
of. Hey, let's get under the covers and snuggle for awhile."
We both rearranged our naked bodies on the bed so we could undo the covers a
bit and get beneath them. Lil and I held each other. I caressed her hair
and occasionally pecked at her cheek with soft kisses while I waited for the
right moment to start up again so I could satisfy my own urges. Once hard
as a rock my penis was slowly deflating back to normal.
But Lil finally seemed ready to go at it again, returning one of my short
pecks with a long, passionate, open mouthed kiss. As we smothered each
others lips I felt her hand slowly slithering its way toward my limp cock.
It started to swell the instant she touched it. She responded by wrapping
her hand around it and before I knew it all four inches was wrapped snuggly
in a soft, fleshy cocoon.
I immediately returned the favor by slipping my hand down between her legs
and playing with her pubic hair, twirling several strands around my index
finger and gently tugging. She smiled at me, letting me know she enjoyed my
foreplay. After a few minutes of playing with her bush I let go and slid my
finger to her pussy lips. The opening was still moist and with no effort at
all my middle finger slipped into her love hole. I slowly started to finger
fuck Lil and she responded quickly with a soft purr. My cock was still
swollen in her hand and I could feel it starting to twitch.
"Just don't let me come before I screw her," I thought to myself nervously.
I guess Lil knew me well enough. She adjusted her grip and choked off the
base of my cock. My urge to ejaculate went away but I was still pretty
hard. She looked at me lovingly and smiled.
"Come on James, let's see what you have," she said as she pulled on me
lightly letting me know it was time to fuck her. At least I didn't have to
ask permission!
I followed Lil's lead and got between her legs, spreading them as wide as I
could with my knees. I moved myself closer and then grabbed my cock and
guided it to into her warm, moist pussy. I positioned my arms on either side
of her and looked at her pretty face and smiled. She sighed as I entered
while I let out a soft moan as well. I slowly started to screw her, not
wanting to blow my wad in just a few seconds. The feeling was like heaven
and as my pleasure increased I started humping a bit faster. I heard Lil's
breathing pick up. I let out a few grunts while she moaned in tune with me.
Feeling myself ready to come I pumped a couple of more times before shoving
myself into her as deeply as I could.
"Aaaargh.... YES!" I exploded. I felt myself gush into her, my cock squirting
and twitching in a fantastic orgasm. Lil responded in kind and for the
second time tonight I felt so happy I had pleased my woman so very well.
I laid on top of Lil for five or ten minutes kissing her lips and enjoying
the feeling of our spent bodies melting into each other. When I finally
rolled off her she shifted herself over to her side of the bed. When I went
over to spoon with her I felt myself positioned in the "wet spot" where my
cum had dribbled out from her pussy and onto the sheets.
"Ugh," I said as I lay on the cold wet spot on the bed. Lil knew exactly
what was bothering me.
"Well it IS your mess you know, so deal with it," she teased.
I tickled her playfully in response and then we both drifted off into a deep
sleep.
Chapter 4:
When I woke the next morning and went downstairs the coffee was already made
and Lil was waiting for me at the kitchen table. As the two of us sat in
our robes drinking we began to plan out our wedding. Actually, I shouldn't
say "we" since I thought it best to agree with whatever she wanted as I
wanted nothing more than for her to be happy. But truthfully she had such
great taste I wouldn't have opposed any of it. Well, there was one thing I
had a problem with. Lil absolutely forbid me to invite one of my best
friends, George. She always thought George was a pig when it came to his
relationships with women. In truth she was right. George would tell a girl
anything to get in her pants and not give a damn once it was over. But he
and I had been good drinking buddies, he was a funny guy to hang around with
and he always had good looking women around him. I tried to get her to
reconsider but I was told in no uncertain terms that if he came the wedding
was off. Reluctantly I gave up my friend, George becoming the first
casualty in my relationship with Lil. "What the hell," I figured. Once I
got married I would be getting sex on a regular basis and didn't really need
George. So he didn't get an invitation and I never spoke to him again.
The time of our engagement just flew by and before I knew it our wedding day
had arrived. Even though we had lived together and I had gone with her to
pick out her gown she decided to uphold the "hiding of the bride" tradition,
having her maid of honor come over to our place and help her get dressed in
our bedroom. When she finally emerged I was astounded at how beautiful she
was in her white wedding gown. I smiled to myself when I saw her though.
It was actually one of the few times that she wasn't dressed in her favorite
color black.
The evening went by pretty fast, I guess because we enjoyed ourselves so
much. Lil had written our vows, we picked out a DJ who played all our
favorite songs, had a great menu AND had some of my favorite beer. I guess
everyone else did as well because although we had paid for our own reception
when we counted up all the gifts the next day we came up on the plus side.
But even more important was going to be the wedding night sex because
although we had been living together for quite some time I always imagined
Lil would find a way to make our wedding night something special. We got
back to our apartment around two or so quite buzzed from all the partying.
I carried Lil across the threshold into our apartment, kicking the door
closed behind me and continuing straight into our bedroom. I laid her down
gently on our bed and gave her a nice long kiss. I took a step back and
began to get out of my tux while she kicked off her heels. Once shoeless
she sat with her back up against the head board and called out for a show,
just as she did the night of our engagement. This time I was too buzzed to
be embarrassed and quickly started to oblige.
With more clothes on this time the show took a little longer but it still
wasn't that long before I was naked and she was calling me over to my spot
on the bed. I smiled as I walked over but stopped before I took my place.
Not wishing to repeat the mistake I made the night of our engagement I bowed
to my beautiful bride.
"Milady?" I started with a proper but drunken English accent. "Might I coax
you out of your wedding gown so your husband can ravage his beautiful
bride?"
Lil giggled and then held out her hand, her palm facing the floor. I took
it and kissed it dutifully.
"Well James," she began. "I see you have learned your lessons well and you
shall be given your just desserts by your Mistress. You may prepare to bed
me."
Lil then held out her hand again while I helped her off the bed playing
along with my little game. I carefully undid the hooks on the back of her
gown feeling my cheeks warm as I gradually got my first look at her bridal
lingerie. It was the one thing I hadn't seen yet and it was making me hot
as hell just waiting to see what kind of erotic outfit she had picked out.
After I undid the last clasp I gently brought down the gown to the floor and
held Lil's hand as she stepped away from the garment. My new bride started
to turn around and show herself to me but suddenly stopped before facing me.
I could see the frown on her face.
"Tut, tut James," she admonished me with the same English accent. "No
peeking until you've picked up my gown and put it away properly. Let's not
forget our lessons now."
I bent over quickly to do as I was told. Even though I was used to these
little games she played with me I was never quite sure how much of it was
real and how much of it was teasing. I folded the gown neatly over one arm
and walked over to the closet. I opened the door, pulled out a hanger and
placed the straps of the gown onto the garment hooks and placed it back into
the middle of the closet. I smiled as I noticed how her white gown formed
the icing of an Oreo clothing cookie.
My chore done, I turned around and faced my bride. As I started to take my
first step I was stopped dead in my tracks by the site of Lil in her white
boned Victorian corset. It was one of those that didn't have bra cups, the
kind that pushed her breasts almost out of the garment, two mounds of flesh
that appeared on the verge of erupting out of the restrictive bodice. The
rest of it was a deeply erotic sight as well. A total of eight wide garters
with delicate white bows were attached to the bottom of the corset. Four in
the front and four in the back securely held up the sexiest pair of white
stockings I had ever seen. Seeing my jaw drop in awe Lil spun around slowly
showing me the back of the garment, complete with drawstrings and a nice
white bow sitting right in the small of her back that had made her bottom
seem absolutely perfect earlier in the night. Her scrumptious ass was
covered with a pair of tight white satin panties.
I wanted to run over and jump her right there, rip everything off and screw
the hell out of her. As I looked at my goddess I paused, did I really want
to peel all that magnificent lingerie away? But my cock was standing at
attention and waiting for its marching orders. It came soon enough. Lil
continued our little game.
"James, stop gawking at me and come here," she ordered. "Get the bridal bed
ready so I can consummate our marriage."
I immediately obeyed, scurrying over to the bed, my hard on wagging in the
process like a happy puppy tail. I pulled back the covers of the bed
exposing a set of black satin sheets I had never seen before. This night
was turning out to be full of surprises. With the bed now ready for us I
turned and faced my bride not sure what to do next. I decided to ask,
better safe than sorry on a night like this.
"Lil? Should I undress you now?" I asked thinking it was better that she
had all that expensive lingerie off rather than risk staining it.
I received a frown as the start of an answer. After a tense moment she
spoke.
"Lil? What happened to Milady," she scolded. "And what happened to your
manners. I think you meant to say May I undress you now. Try it again now
and do it right or I'll make you and your puppy tail spend the night at the
foot of the bed."
She stared straight at me with a furrowed brow while I collected my
thoughts.
"I'm very sorry Milady. I didn't mean to offend," I apologized. "I simply
forgot myself, captivated by your beauty as you might imagine. May I
undress you Milady?" Just to ingratiate myself back into Lil's good graces
I executed a short bow.
"Yes, you may undress me now James," she said with an air of royalty. "And
be careful to put those things away nicely. Even though you know I'm not
particularly fond of white they may come in handy one day."
My heart now pounding from all the excitement and anticipation of the wild
night of sex I expected to share with my bride it took me a lot longer than
I thought it would to disrobe Lil. I knelt while I unhooked her white
stockings from the garter snaps and even though my fingers slipped several
times into the nylon I didn't put a run in them. I stood up then and
started with the corset. My fingers fumbled with the laces of the corset as
I undid them. It didn't help either that while I was unlacing her I managed
to steal a peek over her shoulder and watch her breasts seem to bubble
against the front of the corset in reaction to my efforts. I finally did
get the damn thing unlaced and lowered it gently to the floor. I carefully
rolled down her hose, lifted each foot lightly and removed them. I put the
pair on the floor along with the corset. Once again kneeling I lowered her
satin panties and when they were around her ankles I held up a hand so Lil
could safely step out of them.
"Very well done James," she complimented me. As I picked up the lingerie
and brought it over to our dresser Lil climbed into bed and pulled the satin
sheets up a bit covering her legs but leaving her breasts visible. I put
the garments away as neat as I could in her top drawer and then went over
and joined my bride in bed.
I kissed her as soon as I got next to her and told her how much I loved her.
My display of affection was returned with a loving smile. I knew exactly
what to do next doing everything I always did to please her; kissing her
soft, painted red lips, fondling and sucking on her breasts and finally
moving down to her love temple where I sucked and licked like it was my last
meal. Truthfully, if I did get the chance to choose a last meal, lapping at
Lil's cunt would be it!
My attentions led to the eventual orgasm although I kind of felt like it
took quite a bit longer than usual. Maybe all the booze or maybe Lil was
just a little wore out from all the dancing and chatting up of the wedding
guests. But either way it was finally my turn to cum.
As I started up round two by kissing Lil again and teasing her nipples she
looked at me and spoke.
"Are you up for something new tonight Jaaaames," she said. As usual it
wasn't a question but really a warning, urging me to answer in the
affirmative.
My heart beat quickened at the notion of something special and my cock got
hard as never before. I was so lucky to have met and married Lil. In my
haste to answer I almost forgot my "manners".
"Sure, Lil.... Ummmm. Why of course Milady," I answered, hoping I had
successfully changed the course of my response in time. "You know I would
do whatever I can to please Milady." I was definitely enjoying our little
game now.
Lil looked me in the eyes and smiled playfully.
"Very well then. On your back James," she commanded.
As my wife shifted her position I adjusted myself in the bed as well until I
was on my back. My thoughts raced along with my heart as I anticipated
something hot was about to happen. Lil looked down at me and smiled at me
hungrily as she drew back the covers and exposed me completely. My rigid
little dick was standing at attention anticipating something special. It
was then that my bride moved one of her legs over my belly and straddled me.
Now on her knees she raised herself up and looked down upon me. From my
position Lil looked like some gorgeous Amazon princess. I was wild with
anticipation.
After one more naughty smile she reached between her legs, parted her pussy
lips and lowered herself onto my hard on. I slipped in with no effort at
all. I moaned immediately in gratitude. My cock was engulfed in the
warmest and wettest of places and the sensation was out of this world. I
could feel Lil's pelvis bone against mine. I instinctively reached up my
hands towards Lil's breast preparing to massage those two beautiful globes
now almost staring me in the face. But before my hands reached their
destination my bride caught my wrists with her hands and pinned my arms back
onto the bed.
"No, no lover," she warned softly. "Relax and enjoy it while I take you for
my own. And don't you dare cum too soon. You cum when I tell you too."
I didn't think I could do that as I was always a little quick on the draw,
especially during my first orgasm. But I hoped even if I did Lil might not
realize it. She seemed to be consumed with as much passion as I was so
maybe she would climax pretty quickly herself.
With my wrists firmly in her grasp Lil started to ride me, starting with
some slow pumping. I was doing OK so far. I was in heaven but still not on
the verge of orgasm. Then she started to quicken the pace of her thrusting,
rising up so I was barely in her love tunnel and then slamming down onto me
swallowing my member completely. The bed began to shake as my bride really
got into it. The vibrations must have made her even hornier because as she
continued to screw me each thrust sounded sloppier than the one before.
I could feel myself getting closer to the edge. I let out a small moan
which seemed to go unnoticed by Lil as she was started to make noise
herself. She seemed to be lost in heat now and no longer seemed to be
looking at me but through me. She had a death grip on my wrists and that
pain coupled with me biting down on my lower lip seemed to keep me from
quickly blowing my wad. But even that couldn't keep me from exploding.
While Lil was still furiously pumping the crap out of me I came but managed
to be silent while I did so. As my juices flowed she stopped pumping me and
started to grind her pelvis into mine. As she did she moaned and grunted.
"Oh fuck James! Yes! Oh, you fucking little bitch! Take it all," she
almost was screaming at the top of her lungs.
My wife's behavior caught me by surprise. Lil had never talked like that
before during sex. Sure, she always played her little permission games and
could be a bit bossy in bed. But calling ME a bitch made me feel less like
the husband my ego told me I should be. Shouldn't it be the other way
around? The way a husband should be talking to his bride while he asserted
himself on his wedding night? But she was on top and I was on bottom.
Truthfully though, I really didn't give a damn. It was a really hot scene
and Lil was enjoying herself so thoroughly that I felt quite proud that I
was able to please her so well.
But despite Lil's guttural passion it didn't seem like she was yet ready to
orgasm. She kept grinding and humping me. And since I was already spent
the pressure of her pelvis against mine was starting to hurt a bit. I began
to breathe heavily; sucking in every breath and blowing it back out loudly.
I began to grunt along with my wife as she continued to use me although hers
were groans of passion while mine were emitted out of discomfort. I don't
think Lil ever noticed though, at least I hoped she didn't. I would have
hated to disappoint her or maybe even worse disobey her.
But finally the command came......
"CUM BOY!" she ordered amidst her passionate growls.
"Aaaaarggggggh! YES Milady!" I screamed back as I bucked up and ground my
pelvis into hers fulfilling my "obligation".
Her eyes once again focused on mine and she loosened her grip on my wrists.
Her cheeks were flushed and tiny beads of sweat covered her forehead. I
smiled up at her as she once again kneeled up and appeared to tower over me.
After collecting herself for a moment Lil finally leaned down and kissed me
gently on the lips. I responded by wrapping my arms around her and pulling
her down gently on top of me.
As I felt her warm flesh touch mine I whispered, "I love you Lil. I love
you more than anything in the world. This marriage is going to be
wonderful. You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
She slipped away slowly from my embrace and rose up again. Again on her
perch Lil took her finger and gently rubbed my nose while she smiled down.
"I know you do James. Just don't ever forget it," she said sincerely. Now
what do you say we get a little sleep."
I was drained and sexually spent from our love making as well and was
actually looking forward to some shut eye. Lil adjusted herself above me
but instead of getting off me and moving over to her side of the bed she
pulled herself off my limp dick and then slid forward and raised her body a
few inches above mine. I wondered what the hell she was doing as she held
herself just above my stomach. I switched my gaze from her eyes to her
crotch just before I felt the first drops of my goo drip out of her pussy
and onto my belly. As I looked up at Lil again I could see her facial
expression change a bit and felt her legs tense up. A long gooey stream of
cum discharged itself from her love canal and joined the previous drops in a
sticky pool on my tummy. My confused look soon elicited an explanation.
"What's the matter hon," she said as she finally dismounted me. "I thought
you didn't like sleeping on the wet spot. But more important, I certainly
don't want your messy goo staining my nice sheets. Give me your hand for a
minute."
I started to move my hand toward hers figuring Lil wanted me to hug before
we kissed goodnight. But instead my wife took my hand by the wrist, turned
my palm down and made me rub my sticky cum all over my stomach and chest
until it all dried on my skin. She let go of my hand, pecked me on the
cheek and pulled up the covers.
"There, now you won't get any wrinkles," she teased. It was the last thing
I heard before I drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 5:
We both slept like babies that night, finally getting up the next day around
noon. Lil made us some brunch and we just hung out around the apartment the
rest of the day, drinking a bit and watching TV. We went to bed early and
didn't bother with sex as we had to get up early to catch a plane to Disney.
A five day trip down there was to be our honeymoon since neither of us had
gone there as children. We had a great time, acted like kids and screwed
around every night but the last. We didn't do anything kinky but it was
enjoyable nonetheless.
We arrived home that Sunday and relaxed. The following day we began our
normal, married life together. I went back to work at the store and Lil
went back to her part-time writing and promo gigs. Our schedules never
really matched up too well due to our jobs. I'd be working late three or
four nights while Lil would be home alone and sometimes when I got home
early my wife would be out doing some promo work at some trade show. But
being young, we still found plenty of time to enjoy our life together.
Heck, every once in a while I even got to go out with the guys, with the
exception of George of course.
As for our sex life, Lil always saw to it that there were occasional
surprises in store so our love-making didn't become mundane. When she felt
like being in charge we played "Permission" and the sticky body lotion
games. When it was my turn I would act all macho and try to boss my wife
around. I loved to do her doggy-style because it made me feel like I was in
control.
I remember one time she had to pick me up at work because my car was in the
shop. She called me an hour before I got off to tell me to meet her in the
parking lot of the supermarket across the street from my store. It seemed
she had to pick up a few grocery items before we went home. So I closed up
shop and headed across the street and into the parking lot looking for her
red Toyota. As it was late there weren't too many cars in the lot and soon
enough I saw Lil standing by her car. It was a chilly, winter evening and
she was wearing the full length leather coat I had gotten her that past
Christmas. Her hands were in her pockets. As soon as she saw me near the
car she turned in my direction. As I got even closer I saw she was also
wearing a pair of sexy high heels. When I was two feet away from her and
getting ready to say "Hi" she swung open her coat and exposed her completely
naked body to me.
"Looking for a good time tonight lover?" she questioned while I gawked at
her. "Twenty dollars and I'll send you to heaven."
"Damn," I thought. My wife just propositioned me like a street walker. "Is
this fucking hot or what!" I immediately felt my cock start to swell. Of
course I would have been crazy to turn her down. "Sure," I answered and
walked around to the passenger side to let her into the car. I quickly went
back to the driver's side and got in.
"Where's my money lover?" she asked with her hand held out.
I figured the money part was just a joke but since Lil looked so serious I
decided to play along taking a twenty from my wallet and giving it to her.
As I started the car up my wife began undoing my belt. By the time I was
turning out of the parking lot onto the street she had my zipper opened and
had pulled my pants apart exposing my underwear. I have to say I was a
little nervous about getting pleasured while I was driving but I wasn't
going to stop my wife. As I approached the first traffic light Lil had
pulled my cock out of my briefs, then leaned over and began licking the tip.
Don't you know the light turned red! But with my wife's lips slowly sliding
up and down my hard on I didn't take notice of whether or not the driver
beside us was paying any attention to what was going on in my lap. When the
light changed I drove away from the intersection and headed home.
Thankfully the next mile or two was a straight run devoid of any traffic
lights. I did my best to focus on the road despite the slurping noises Lil
was making as she brought me closer to the brink of release. Then after a
few more strokes of my wife's hand I came into her mouth.
"Ahmmmmmmmm," I groaned with pleasure as I finished my orgasm. "Oh God,
that was great," I said to Lil as she picked her head up out of my lap.
"Another satisfied customer," she said with a smile.
I chuckled and looked down. I saw I was still exposed. "Ahem," I said.
"Miss, I think you forgot something. My pants?"
Lil glanced back at me with a dubious look. We were only a couple of blocks
away from home now. "No, I don't think so," she said with a straight face.
"You paid for a blow job, not for me to dress you."
I chuckled again deciding to go with the masquerade. "Fine, fine," I said
as we pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex. I parked the
car and then started getting myself back into my pants. "Aaaargh," I
grumbled as my hand encountered a puddle of spunk and saliva laying on the
top of my pubic hair. "Geez, Lil," I complained. "Couldn't you have
swallowed?"
She returned a "Who me?" look at me. "Again.... You didn't pay me to swallow,
which I don't anyway. Do you?" Despite me thinking this was a fun game,
Lil sounded annoyed.
I finished packing myself back up into my wet underwear, zippered my fly and
buckled my belt. I almost felt like I had pissed my pants. "Um, no I don't
but....."
"Then don't expect me to either!" she interrupted. "The deal is that
whatever you want me to do for you, you have to be willing to let me do to
you." While Lil stared at me waiting for an answer she added, "That's only
fair, Quid Pro Quo."
I was a little taken aback but I nodded in agreement. Then we got out of
the car and as we started walking toward the door to our building with Lil
laughing at the growing wet spot on the front of my pants. I decided to be
a good sport and laugh along. We went inside and had a quick drink before
going to bed.
Chapter 6:
So, things went on like this for almost a year and then one night when we
both managed to get off and be home in time to enjoy dinner at a normal
time. It was something that didn't happen too often. I walked in the
apartment to find Lil on the couch without the usual glass of wine in her
hand and looking somewhat serious. I went over and kissed her hello and
then sat next to her.
"Why so serious?" I asked. "Everything OK with work?"
She looked back at me and said with a smile, "The rabbit died."
"Huh? Rabbit? We don't have any pets," I said still confused.
"I'm pregnant you dopey putz!" she said somewhat annoyed.
I didn't know if she was annoyed because she thought I didn't want kids or
because I didn't get the joke. Having a kid was something we never really
talked about. I pondered the idea of being a dad quickly and how it would
affect our freedom. But in the end I decided it was GREAT! Now, to find
out Lil's feelings.
"That's great....... Right?" I questioned apprehensively. "I mean it'll be cool
to have a little guy to be able to teach to play baseball," I said,
instinctively assuming our new baby would be a boy.
"Cool?" she answered. "It's a big responsibility and is going to change our
lives. And just suppose it's a girl? Then what? It becomes my
responsibility I suppose?" Lil said again, annoyed by my comment.
Emphatically, I shook my head "NO", but Lil wasn't quite finished. "I'll
want the best for our child. I plan on being a stay at home mother so the
kid will grow up with interests and goals. When he or she grows up, they'll
go to a good college. Not just some bull shit community college. I just
want you to know we'll be depending on your salary." It was then she
explained to me why she dropped out of college. It seems that although she
was the elder of two children, her father planned on sending only one of
their children to a top notch university and it was to be Lil's younger
brother. He would get to attend a prestigious engineering school. Lil, on
the other hand was destined for community college. She dropped out after
her first year, dissatisfied by the lack of a challenge. Needless to say
Lil held a grudge against both of them.
"Sure Lil, whatever you think is best," I said as I deferred to my wife's
judgment. I wasn't getting rich on my job but I had gotten a couple of
promotions and raises and was sure we would have plenty of money to survive.
So, it was settled and nine months later we had a new addition to our
family, a baby daughter.
Chapter 7:
Things didn't change much the first four years after Jillian was born. I
mean we went out a little less and weren't able to save as much. While we
still caught the occasional concert or movie, we saved whatever we could for
our daughter's college fund. But there wasn't any more time (or money for
that matter) for the occasional night out with the guys at the local sports
bar anymore so slowly but surely I lost contact with all my old drinking
buddies except for my best friend Ron. He and I still spent the occasional
weekend afternoon watching sports at his apartment having a six pack or two.
But then Ron met a girl, got serious with her and shortly after announced
they were tying the knot. His marriage signaled the end of my social life.
It wasn't so much the fact that he got married that killed our friendship
though, it was who he married. It seems Ron's fianc? was jealous of Lil
because he had a habit of talking up my wife around his fianc?. Needless to
say she didn't take kindly to Lil getting all that praise, so during the
occasional get together she took every chance she got to make nasty comments
at Lil's expense. My wife, of course didn't tolerate her barbs so pretty
soon I stopped hanging out with Ron. It wasn't anything he did but rather
having to listen to Lil rail on about what a rude bitch his wife was. So
there I was, separated from all my old friends. But I convinced myself I
didn't care. I had a wife and daughter and more importantly an active sex
life. Lil still managed to come up with a few interesting bedroom surprises.
In fact, seeing Lil breast feeding our baby made me horny every time. When
Jillian was just an infant she stayed in our room and was none the wiser
when we screwed around. We just kept it down a bit so we didn't wake her.
When she was old enough to have her own room we still found the time to make
love behind closed doors, and like I said we just weren't as vocal. When
she started school and I didn't have to be at work until the afternoon we
had the opportunity to be a little more rambunctious.
So, all in all things were going great. I made sure I never forgot Lil's
birthday or our anniversary. Although I cut down the size of my purchases
over time I made sure there was always a little special something for her on
those days plus Christmas and Valentines Day. I knew her taste in jewelry
and clothing. While I was always a little apprehensive (like most guys)
about shopping in the ladies department I overcame my fears because I
usually wasn't the only guy shopping there during the holidays. I even
managed to venture into Victoria's Secret once a year during Valentines Day.
For the most part all my gifts were appreciated (and resulted in a hot night
of sex). I did make a mistake on our third Valentines Day though.
Due to a big car repair bill I was a little short of cash so instead of just
letting the sales girl help me pick out something nice and sexy I asked her
if there were any outfits on sale. She brought me over to the CLEARANCE
section. With a little rummaging I was able to put together two matching
outfits. The first was a white satin bra and panty set with a matching
garter and stockings. The other was the sweetest pink teddy. I felt really
proud of myself having bought two outfits for less than the price of what I
usually spent.
Usually I would give Lil her presents right after we had dinner but today I
decided to wait and tease her. She knew about the big repair bill and I
thought by holding off she might suspect that I couldn't afford to get her
anything this year. I waited until we were just about to go to bed before I
sprung my surprise. Lil was sitting on the bed and the baby was already
asleep. I reached under the bed and pulled out the pink striped shopping
bag as Lil smiled. I handed it to her with an ear to ear grin.
"Happy Valentine's Day, my love," I said softly. I couldn't wait for my
reward.
Lil took the bag and pulled out the pink tissue paper covering the goodies.
Her smile vanished as she took as the pink teddy.
"James!" she scolded. "PINK? REALLY?" When have you EVER seen me wear
PINK!"
I was really taken aback but she was right. I had never seen Lil in
anything pink. As she dipped her hand back into the bag I figured I was
safe this time as I had seen her in white on our wedding night.
"Oh shit! The one and ONLY time." I thought to myself when I saw her frown
as she dangled the panties and bra and then returned those to the shopping
bag along with the pink teddy.
"Jay-ames, I know your heart was in the right place," she lectured. "But
your wife does NOT wear anything but black lingerie, or hadn't you noticed
the last four years.
She gently tossed the bag across the bed toward me.
"Now, take these things and put them away in YOUR dresser drawer," she
ordered. "I want you to see them every day as a careful reminder. So leave
them on top and fold them nice and neat. I don't want them ruined either."
I took the bag, issued a sheepish apology and did as I was told. As I
walked away Lil put the final nail in my coffin.
"And there will be no Valentines gift for you tonight you naughty boy!" Lil
scolded.
There were actually no "gifts" for about a week. But even though things
returned to normal after that it was a lesson I never forgot. But I guess I
should mention it wasn't the only lesson I had to learn the hard way. On
the one rare night where I went out with some guys from work I came home
really tanked up. It was pretty late and Lil was already sleeping when I
got home, so instead of waking her up to say goodnight I just took a piss
and went to bed and passed out.
"You SONOFABITCH! Get in here, NOW!" Lil screamed, waking me from my
drunken stupor. I looked around and saw it was pitch black. I had no idea
what was going on but I jumped out of bed and went running toward the
sounds. "James, you stupid bitch!" Lil screamed again. I pushed the
bathroom door open to find my wife standing in the darkness bare ass naked.
"Wh-What's the matter? Are you OK?" I asked still drunk. I wondered what
was wrong. I figured she must have seen a spider or something until she
switched on the light. Then I saw the reason for her anger.
"You fucking jerk. You left the seat up you ass," she continued to curse me
out.
Unfortunately for me the thought of my wife's bare ass touching the cold
water of the uncovered toilet made me laugh. And when I did she let me have
it again.
"You think it's funny you fucking ass!" she cursed again. "Well the first
thing tomorrow you're going to glue that seat down. Now get the hell out of
here and go back to bed you idiot."
I did as I was told, happy to escape my wife's wrath. I figured she would
forget about it in the morning. I should have known better. Lil NEVER let
anything slide without some type of consequence. As soon as I got out of
bed my wife reminded me in no uncertain terms of the day's task. "You
remember to get your sorry ass down to the hardware store and buy some kind
of glue. I want that seat glued down so this doesn't happen again. And you
better not piss on the seat either," I was warned. "In fact, you better
start peeing like a girl from now on." I showered, had a cup of coffee and
went out to the store. I came back with the adhesive and reluctantly glued
the seat down to the toilet. When I took my first piss sitting down I felt
like I had lost a part of my masculinity.
Chapter 8
When Jillian was about four Lil enrolled them in a Mommy and Me program at
one of the local Churches. The program was cheap and Lil always came home
with stories about our daughter playing with the other kids and how she also
had made some new girl friends. Let's see, there was Joanie the physical
trainer who owned a local Curves fitness center, Giselle the owner of a
local beauty salon, Katie the proprietor of a clothing boutique and Dr. Abby
Landers, an OB/GYN who had an office a few towns away. They all became
close friends but it was Abby who eventually became my wife's closest
confidant.
When Jillian was about six years old things started to change. As Lil
started to prepare our daughter for her future, she enrolled her in various
after school programs. It wasn't bad at first. But Jillian got enrolled in
more and more programs as Lil tried to find the ones that fit our daughter
best. Unfortunately none of them were free. Eventually, we had to dip into
our savings to keep up with the payments. That might not have been the end
of the world but then my employer started struggling. Raises and bonuses
were all put on hold. My wife told me I should start thinking about getting
a new job before it was too late.
Instead, I tried to talk to Lil about scaling back on the activities but she
would have none of it. She told me she wasn't going to raise her daughter
to be some delinquent teenager that hung out on the streets and got in
trouble (kind of like I did). Nor was she sending her daughter to community
college as her father had done to her. My wife had even gone as far as to
confide in her friend Abby about our financial problems. She said Abby
agreed with her and I should think about finding a new job. Instead of
listening to my wife's advice though I decided to stick it out. The company
was bought out and I was sure things were going to pick up. It wasn't the
case though and our savings dwindled over the next couple of years we dipped
into Jillian's college fund to pay for our daughter's activities. Our lack
of money coupled with my reluctance to look for a new position became a sore
point between us causing numerous arguments. The more we fought the less we
intimate we became. And when we weren't fighting, Lil often used the excuse
that she was too tired from running Jillian to her various activities to
have sex. I began to think that my wife was punishing me in an attempt to
force me to find a new job.
My wife though, refused to let my contentment affect her daughter's future.
A natural networker, Lil began to barter with the various schools and
programs Jillian was enrolled in. She got the managers of the Music and
Dance schools to let her work part time in exchange for tuition and
eventually managed to get almost all of Jillian's tuition comped. She even
made arrangements with some of her other Mommy and Me friends as well. But
there were still things we had to pay for and with both our cars getting
older our expenses piled up. We put no money in the bank and lived paycheck
to paycheck.
Things went on this way until Jillian was ten. Then my mother passed away.
Long ago divorced from my late father, she wasn't rich but did manage to
leave me a small inheritance. It was enough for us to get a new car and pay
off our debt and put some money back into Jillian's college fund.
Unfortunately, that little bit of cash we put back discouraged me from
seeking out a better paying job.
Another two years went by and my company finally went belly up. Despite the
urging of my wife for me to find something with a more promising future I
took the easy way out, quickly managing to find a job with another retailer
for just about the same pay. I tried to play it up to Lil, telling her
there were a few more benefits, including som
