Damsel In Distress free porn video

Damsel In Distress Edward Marston was tired. It had been a long few days. It was Friday and he was looking forward to an easy weekend. He had nothing planned. He had stood in line at the cellphone provider and managed to change his contract. He needed to remove Lisa, his ex-wife, from all his bank accounts, credit cards and mobile phone contract. This took more time than he anticipated. His divorce had just been finalized. At some point he would have to clean out her closet and delete her from memory. It had been months now since they filed but the final papers had just come through last week. He had delayed the clean up as it gave him hope for a reconciliation. He had been devastated when she decided that one of her co-workers offered her more sexual variety than Edward knew how to provide. She had gone to work one day and not returned. He just received a SMS message that it was over. She would forego everything and just wanted a simple divorce. She had taken what she needed and the rest could go to Goodwill. As an up and coming lawyer Edward had long hours and worked 12 hour days, even at the weekend. He specialized in construction law. He enjoyed his job. Lisa felt neglected and sought adventure elsewhere. After Edward changed his contract at the mobile phone provider he decided he needed a caffeine boost. There was a Starbucks two doors down from the phone store. He had nothing on that afternoon and decided a double espresso would revive him. Thankfully, it was a short line but all the tables inside were occupied. There were several tables outside. Several were occupied by some chattering girls. One table had a single lady and two vacant chairs. She had no cup in front of her. Edward approached and asked if the chairs were occupied. The lady turned to him and shook her head 'no'. He sat down gratefully and noticed the lady stare into the distance, tears rolling down her face. As a lawyer he didnt want to intrude but felt sorry for the lady. She was beautiful, her skin the color of polished ebony. She had a minimum of makeup, just lipstick, eyeliner and mascara. She didn't need more to enhance her beauty. She was dressed in a long ankle length summer dress in shades of blue with some pattern. A matching scarf was knotted on her head turban fashion with the knot in front. She was slender and her smallish breasts matched her body size. "Excuse me Miss," Edward started, "are you ok?" She looked at him with big, brown eyes. He could see the fear in her face. "Nobody can help me." The voice was soft. "Well, I don't know the problem so I can't offer a solution," he said seriously. The lady stared back at him. "Let me get you some water," he offered. "Would you prefer a coffee?" The lady looked him again. She didn't appear to have a purse and her tears were in danger of falling onto her dress. "I'll be tight back," he said and went in. A few minutes later he returned with a tumbler of water and a pile of napkins. The lady sipped on the water and used the napkins to wipe her face. There were black streaks on the napkins showing the mascara from her tears. He noticed she had no nail polish. "I'm sorry," she said after a few moments. "I didn't mean to trouble you." The voice was low and soft, extremely seductive. "I'm in big trouble and don't know what to do." "I don't know if I can do anything but I have time and am a good listener. It may help to share." He took a sip of coffee and continued, "My name is Edward Marston by the way." "Kenishia. There is a longer story but the simple fact is that my wife threw me out without anything. I don't have any ID, cellphone, money or clothes. All I have is what I am wearing." Edward didn't blink. As a lawyer he had learned to mask his feelings. He had heard the word 'wife'. Was Kenishia in a same sex partnership? These marriages were quite common. Still it was hard to imagine that another person, even another lady, would part with a lady like Kenishia. Edward looked at Kenishia. She saw him staring but stayed silent. "Letitia came home with Leroy. They were high on drugs. Leroy told me to get out before he broke my bones. I had to get out with nothing and walked in these heels for hours. I had to sit down." This sounded like a domestic situation. Edward knew getting involved was not good. Yet, he couldnt allow Kenishia to suffer. It didn't seem right. He wondered what Kenishia was doing dressed like that at home early in the afternoon. "Well, i can certainly help you out with some cash if that helps. I can also take you somewhere." Kenishia looked at Edward. "Thanks but I have nowhere to go. No ID, no clothes and nothing in my life. I'll never see Cherise again. I should have let Leroy kill ne." The words came out slowly. Edward's inner voice told him not to get involved. Yet he couldnt bear to see someone in distress. Especially a pretty lady. "Look this seems like a longer story. I don't really understand. Come with me and we can go somewhere and chat. Ok?" Kenishia looked at Edward trying to make up her mind. Finally she said "ok" and rose. She appeared dejected and resigned. In her heels she was just a little shorter than Edward's six foot frame. He could see her slim figure and graceful lines. She followed a pace behind him to his car. They drove the ten minutes to his town house in silence. It had several bedrooms and a small garden. Neither he nor Lisa had spent much time on their patio. "Ok," Edward said as they entered. "Can i get you a drink? I have everything from tea to wine to something stronger. " Kenishia looked at him. She really didn't care. "Tea, please if it's no trouble." "Tea coming up. Why don't you go out to the patio? I'll get tea." Kenishia opened the sliding door and stepped out on to the patio. There was a balcony overhead affording the patio some coolness and shade. There was a small table with several chairs. They were dusty and Kenishia dusted them and sat down. She gazed at the empty beds and long grass on the small lawn. With some attention it would look great. Her mind was distracted for a moment. Edward brought out a small tray. He had placed several varieties of cheese, some biscuits and two mugs of tea. "I didn't have lunch so am a little peckish. Help yourself please." He took a cracker, placed some cheese on it and waited. "I'm sorry to put you through this," she said. "I really don't know what to do." "Well, you are safe here. We have food and drink and can talk quietly. Nothing can be that bad although I know that sometimes it seems that way. I am really sorry you are in a jam. It helps if you can share with someone. Many times a stranger is easier to talk to because he doesn't know you to judge. I will gladly help if I can. " Kenishia looked at Edward trying to reach a decision. Why should she trust him? Yet he had been respectful. She took a sip of tea. She had nothing to lose. At least he didn't look the killer type but you never knew. "Letitia and I have been together for years now and we have a daughter Cherise. She is three years old. Letitia started on drugs some time ago and that led to some bad relationships like with Leroy. I am a freelance writer and work from home. So I take care of Cherise. Letitia works in a supermarket. She has lost many jobs since she got into drugs." Kenishia paused and nibbled on a piece of cheese. Her eyes never strayed from Edwards. She took a sip of tea. "Since I work from home, I can dress as I please. I like to dress nice." "You are beautiful," Edward interrupted. "Really. Of course you should dress as you please and feel comfortable in." He didn't want to ask how Kenishia managed housework dressed like that and in high heels. He still didn't understand how Kenishia and Letitia were together and had a child. He knew people changed as indeed had Lisa. It didn't seem appropriate to ask. "Thanks. I was dressed like this because I only bought the outfit yesterday. I was taking care of Cherise when Letitia and Leroy came home unexpectedly. They were high on drugs. Leroy saw me and tried to attack me calling me names and threatening me. Cherise started to cry and clung to me. Leroy was about to hit me when Letitia intervened and stopped him. Leroy got mad and told me that if I didn't get out of his sight within seconds I would need to be carried out. I was scared and left. I took nothing and am scared to go back. I have no money, ID or clothes. Above all, I don't know how Cherise is. So, as I said, I wish I was dead." Edward looked at her. There was much he didn't understand. He and Lisa didn't have kids but he always wanted them. They were just too busy. Kenishia appeared to be a good parent but there still things that didn't make sense. "Look, i am glad you shared. I can help with money - call it a long term loan. Cellphone and ID are a problem but your wife or this guy can't prevent you from entering the house to get your stuff. I will go with you if you like and you can collect basic stuff you need for a day or two until you get sorted. Ok?" "Thanks. But I have nowhere to go and nobody to call." The look on Kenishia's face was close to tears. "I'm worried only about Cherise." "Even more reason to go now. I don't think we want a little girl on our conscience." Edward stood up. Kenishia hesitated a moment and stood up, smoothing down her long skirt. Edward wondered again how she managed to stay in those heels all day. Kenishia guided Edward to a street not far away. The houses were older homes with broken gates and littered front yards. Kenishia pointed to a house with several older cars in the driveway. The garden had no litter and there was a small swing frame. Kenishia sat silently, hands in her lap. Edward patted her arm. "Let's get this over with." He got out of the car and moved to the passenger door. Kenishia finally moved her legs out and accepted Edward's help to stand. He held her arm as they walked to the front door. Kenishia had no key so needed to knock on the door. "Just get what you need for a day or two. Get your purse, ID and cell with some clothes. Don't worry. I am here." He squeezed her arm. They climbed two steps to the front door and heard the little girl crying. She was shouting for her mommy or daddy. Edward tapped on the front door. It was open. "Cherise?" Kenishia called out. The crying stopped. "Cherise baby, where are you?" There was a patter of feet and a little girl hurled out and grabbed Kenishia around the legs. She was crying. "Daddy, where were you?" She hugged tighter and Kenishia stroked her head and told her not to worry. Edward motioned Kenishia to get her things. He walked a few steps to the living area and saw two figures sprawled in two chairs. Both were large and appeared in a drug and induced sleep. Cartons of Chinese food and bottles of empty beer were evident. He looked for Kenishia in the small kitchen giving Cherise some food and drink. "Hurry." Kenishia looked at him. The little girl was holding tightly to her leg and drinking out of a cup. "I can't leave her," she said. "She hasn't eaten or drunk since I left. I'll find a solution. Thanks for your kindness." There was a sadness in that voice as she stroked the girl's head. "Five minutes," Edward replied. "Bring the girl. I'll watch them in the living room." He could not imagine a lady move so fast in heels as she rushed about stuffing things into two plastic refuse sacks. Within minutes they were out of the house and in the car. Kenishia and Cherise sat in the back as Edward sped away. All he could hear was Cherise asking "Daddy where did you go? I was hungry." Kenishia was stroking the child and telling her not to worry any more. It didn't take a scientist to see how closely attached they were. "Where will you drop us?" Kenishia asked, hugging the girl on her lap. "Where do you want to go? I can take you," Edward replied. "We have nowhere to go. But i have my purse and ID now. I need to make sure she gets a good dinner and clean bed. We'll find somewhere safe." "So you are looking for somewhere safe? And a place to eat?" "Yes. Cherise has done nothing wrong. She deserves better." "That I understand. Ok." "What does that mean? I can't afford any fancy hotel." "I understand. I have just the place." Kenishia had no further questions but hugged the child on her lap. The car stopped and Kenishia looked up. They were in Edward's garage. "We can't do this," she said softly. "We'll manage." "Yes. I have no doubt of that. So, you wanted safe. You are both safe here. You wanted some dinner for her. We can order that. It's been hard on both of you today, so stay here. There is plenty of space and you can have your own room. If you really want to pay, i can charge you $1 per night." "I don't know how to thank you. It will be very nice for Cherise," she said. "I can afford your rates but don't want to impose. You don't know us, but thank you from both of us." "Are we staying here tonight daddy?" The little girl asked. "Yes, baby, the nice man said we can stay here tonight." The girl smiled at them both. "I like the man. He's not like Leroy." Kenishia hugged the girl and carried her in. Edward carried in the two plastic bags, a smile on his face. He hadn't been around children much but her spontaneous comment warmed his heart. "At the rates I am charging you, I think we can afford pizza tonight." Cherise shrieked with joy. Edward walked them upstairs to the second bedroom. He was surprised Kenishia managed the wooden stairs in the heels. He pointed out the bathroom. There was only a Queen bed but Cherise looked very happy. "I'll order pizza and see you guys downstairs when you are ready." He left them and went downstairs. He had many questions but they would keep. He felt good about helping them. It didn't hurt that Kenishia was beautiful. He was rescuing a damsel in distress. It took them half an hour to come down. Cherise had on a frilly pink nightdress. Kenishia had removed her turban and now sported a head of curly hair afro style. She had removed her heels and was barefoot. She still wore the same outfit. Kenishia was definitely a beautiful lady with class. "Sorry, I didn't have time to bring a change for me." "It's ok," Edward replied. He thought for a moment and asked Kenishia to accompany him. She raised her eyebrows and grabbed Cherise. They walked upstairs into his bedroom. "Sorry," he said. The bed was unmade. There were a number of closets along one wall. Edward went to the last and opened it. It was a dazzling array of dresses and other garments. "Help yourself. They are scheduled for Goodwill. I'll take Cherise down and wait for the pizza guy. Help yourself to anything." Edward saw the look in Kenishia's face. "They belonged to my ex-wife. We divorced a few weeks ago. I haven't had time to clean it out. Pick what you want." He picked up Cherise and carried her down. Twenty minutes later Kenishia appeared in a skirt, blouse and sandals. She was smiling. "She has beautiful clothes and they fit me." For the first time that day she had a big smile on her face. "I have no accessories like matching earrings but the outfit fits perfectly. "Her earrings were the large blue clip on discs she had bought with the long dress. Cherise dominated the conversation, Edward and Kenishia did their best to answer. "I need to put Cherise to bed. Shall I come down after that?" "Yes. I would like that. It's just 8 pm. I'll clear away meantime. Goodnight Cherise." The little girl ran over and hugged him. "Will you be here when I wake up in the morning?" She asked. "Definitely. You can help me make breakfast." Cherise's smile said it all. Edward watched how the two walked away hand in hand. He had no idea what caused him to reach out and help Kenishia. He had many questions. But the happiness in their faces made him feel great. He also was struck that for the first time in many months that there were other people in the house. There was conversation, laughter and a family atmosphere. Things he had missed over the last few months since Lisa left. Edward cleared the table and went to the living room. He opened a bottle of wine and poured himself a glass. He took a second glass and placed it next to his on the low table. Kenishia was thus invited to sit next to him. He had many questions in his mind. Why was Kenishia dressed as she was on a Friday morning? Why did Cherise call her daddy? It took some time before he heard the footsteps on the hardwood floorboards. Kenishia came in and was faced with where to sit. Edward didn't rise and the glass next to his indicated where he wanted her to sit. He filled both their glasses. "I couldnt read her a story so I had to create one for her. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Cherise was very happy to be in a big bed and the prospect of sleeping next to me." Edward patted the spot next to him and offered Kenishia a glass of wine. They clinked glasses. "To better days," he said. "I can't thank you enough for today. I will look for a shelter or something tomorrow. You really have saved my life. Cherise's too." The voice was soft and hinted at some sadness. Kenishia took a sip of her wine. "I know you have many questions." Edward looked at her. He really felt something for her. Nobody should have to face what she did today. The danger to the little girl was also a factor. "Look, take your time and share what you want. I am really glad I could help. Have you advised your partner about Cherise?" She shook her head 'no'. "You should do that or you might find yourself accused of kidnapping." Kenishia nodded and went upstairs. She was down moments later. "I sent her a message." "Good. Try and relax. It'll all be ok." Kenishia looked at him trying to make up her mind. She took a sip of wine. "This is not easy. You had no reason to help and I'll never be able to thank you enough." Another sip of wine. "Letitia and I are not married as I said. We have lived together for about five years. We had Cherise three years ago. It wasn't easy as I was just getting on my feet workwise. Letitia went back to work in a supermarket and fell into bad company. Drink, drugs and arguments followed. She let herself go and you saw her shape. She didn't always look like that. Of course this affected me too. One day we were in a heated argument and Letitia cut up my clothes in a fit of anger. I was in the bathroom at the time. I went in there to escape. When I heard the door slam, I came out. Cherise was about two then and crying. My clothes were strewn all over in pieces. "She paused, close to tears and took another sip of wine. "I had to find some clothes and grabbed one of Letitia's dresses. I had to cover myself. "She looked at Edward with tears forming at the memory. "I was or am Ken, Cherise's father. That dress felt so good I started to dress in the house. Goodwill became my store and I acquired a few items. I liked to look as good as possible but I avoided it when Letitia was home although she knew I dressed. I don't need much make up with my skin color especially during the day. She came home unexpectedly today with Leroy and caught me dressed. I had bought that outfit and shoes just yesterday at Goodwill and wanted to try them out. I had no accessories except the earrings but felt good when I looked in the mirror. It was only lunchtime but they were high and drunk. I didn't expect her till mid-afternoon when her shift ended. I am sorry. We'll be out of your hair tomorrow." Kenishia started to cry. Edward looked at her not comprehending. Kenishia was a boy? Impossible. They had been together for many hours today and he had no idea. Cherise calling her 'daddy' was the only hint. He moved to her instinctively and hugged her to him. He just wanted to comfort her. No words were necessary. He let her cry, holding her tight to him. She was leaning against him and he kissed her head. "I'm sorry for all you've been through. You are safe now." His words were soft and spoken in her ear. Kenishia looked at him with a trail of tears. "I'm so sorr..." her words were interrupted by Edward leaning down and kissing her. It was a soft kiss. Kenishia's eyes opened wide and pulled his head down. The kiss lasted a long time. Her head dropped down to his shoulder as they broke the kiss, both minds in turmoil as to what had just happened. Kenishia looked up at Edward. "Did you just kiss me?" "Yes. I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking." He felt drawn to her. It wasn't pity but she appeared so fragile, vulnerable and in need. She was beautiful. He hadn't for a moment thought about who she was. "Don't be sorry. I liked it. I've never been kissed like that before. Is that bad?" Kenishia raised her face up. Like the attraction if two magnets their lips locked again. This was fierce and passionate, tongues thrusting and exploring. It took a long time for them to part. "No, it isn't bad at all especially if we liked it." Edward tightened his embrace. "It's been a long time since I kissed a girl like that." Kenishia turned to him. "Girl?" she asked softly. "Kenishia, ever since I met you I never thought of you as anything but a girl. I heard 'daddy' from Cherise but thought it was just a three year old talking." "You don't mind I am dressed like this?" Edward thought for a moment. "I should learn from Cherise. She accepts you the way you are. She doesn't care how you dress. Why shouldn't I?" Kenishia smiled. "I am daddy to her however I dress. I'll have to deal with that when she is a little older." They sat like that for some time, silently trying to understand what had just happened. Neither of them had experienced such spontaneous electricity with their previous partners. "Would you stay dressed like this or want to change back. Honestly?" Kenishia looked at him. "Dressing like this gives me a peace and calm that i haven't experienced in a long time. Working at home I am comfortable and I try my best to look good. I haven't a lot of clothes to go out. Today I had no choice. I was forced out." "Well you have a choice now. Dress as you please. There is a lot up there." "I should check on Cherise "Kenishia said and sat up. She finished her glass of wine. "It has been a hell of a day. When Leroy pushed me out of the house, dressed as I was, I never thought the day would end like this. Thank you." She rose as did Edward. She waited a moment until he took the glasses to the kitchen. They walked upstairs together. Both had no idea where this would lead. Neither wanted to push, each trying to process what had happened tonight. "Good night and thanks again," Kenishia said turning to Edward. "I'm sure there are many items of nightwear in the drawers, please help yourself. I am going to the ensuite for a shower." Edward looked at her. "I'll keep my door open in case..." he never got to finish the sentence when she reached up and kissed him hard, turned around and went to his room. She opened the closet and found some items and left the room. It was just 10.30 pm Cherise was fast asleep spread across the bed. Kenishia changed and using the bathroom next door cleaned off her makeup. She used a long pink nightdress and for the first time prepared to sleep in a female garment. She wore her bra with the forms and panties. The soft garment felt smooth on her body as she crawled in and hugged Cherise. Sleep didn't come quickly as she went over the events of the day. She knew she had been very lucky to meet Edward. His kiss had caused even more confusion for her and perhaps more problems. Tomorrow would be another day with more questions and challenges. For today, she was content. Kenishia was woken by Cherise crying out a few hours later. It was 1 am by the small bedside clock. It was in her sleep and was probably a bad dream. The child had been through a lot today. She had to find a solution tomorrow. She thought of Letitia and wondered if she missed Cherise. The child deserved better care and a future. Some thought brought Edward back to mind and the kisses they had shared. It had been spontaneous and mutual and she had enjoyed them very much. There was a low light in the passageway as she padded to Edward's bedroom. There were no sounds. She could see his sleeping form. The next few seconds could see her with bigger problems than this morning or, she hoped, a sense of peace. She crept under the sheet. His chest was bare but she could feel the top of his boxers. She snuggled up to him and kissed his cheek. Her arm across his chest, she lay her head on his shoulder. This was the moment she dreaded. Edward turned suddenly pushing her onto her back. "What kept you?" He asked kissing her lightly. She hugged him tight not wanting to shed the tears of joy she was feeling. In a matter of moments they both fell asleep. It was a short night as Kenishia woke in a tight hug. There was no sexual activity, just a reassuring tight embrace. She kissed him on the lips. "Cherise will be awake soon," she said to a sleepy Edward and crept out of bed. It had been a very short but satisfying night. Cherise was up at 7 am and very happy to see her 'mother' lying next to her. She hugged Kenishia. "I'm hungry," she said. They both padded out quietly downstairs. Kenishia had no idea what was available. A brief search later she found some cereal and a carton of milk. She checked the dates and it was still ok. She put some into a bowl and gave it to Cherise. Whilst Cherise was munching on her cereal Kenishia explored the kitchen. She found the coffee and decided Edward might like a cup as would she. They were surprised by Edward in a tracksuit bottom and white undershirt. He could smell the coffee. "We made you coffee," Cherise volunteered. "I had some cereal but we can make breakfast now." Edward stared at Kenishia in her long nightdress. "It's been sometime since anybody made breakfast or even coffee for me," he said with a big smile. "Did you guys sleep well?" His grin was directed at Kenishia. "Yes. And daddy slept right next to me." Cherise was bright and cheerful. Edward and Kenishia exchanged glances. This was not the moment for correction. "I think we should go to that little bakery and get some breakfast." Edward noticed Kenishia's expression. She didn't look happy. "I am not sure that's a good idea," she said softly. "I don't have any clothes and besides I have a lot of calls to make. I forgot to charge my phone last night." "Ok. Let me suggest this. Dress Cherise and I will take her to the bakery. She can pick stuff and we can have breakfast when we come back. There is a whole closet of clothes upstairs so pick whatever you want ok? We'll be back soon." Kenishia looked at Edward. This was a dream come true to dress with so much available. Yet, it also seemed to be a wish on Edward's part to see her like that too. Until there were alternatives including male wear, she would have to be Kenishia. She liked the thought of dressing for Edward. She had to train Cherise not to call her 'daddy' in public. "Come Cherise, let's get you changed. Then you can go with Edward and bring us back some breakfast." "I can give you a training suit if you prefer. Maybe a little big for you." "No. I'll find something to wear if you don't mind me looking." "Daddy you can wear that nice dress from yesterday," Cherise said with a big smile. The two adults smiled at the innocent remark. "You go get dressed and go with this nice man to bring some breakfast. Today we are going to play a game. Ready?" "Yeaaah," came the loud shriek from Cherise. "So this is the game. I am going to find a nice dress and try to be a real lady today. When I dress like that, you must call me mommy. Ok? Don't forget." Cherise looked at Kenishia and smiled. "No mommy," and ran upstairs. Kenishia exchanged looks with Edward. Was that a significant kiss last night? He hadn't tried to take advantage of her even later in bed. She knew he would not kiss Kenneth. Last night had been short but she had enjoyed the safety of Edward's arms around her. She had enjoyed the kiss even more. The decision to dress was made easier as she had no other clothes. She wished she had more makeup and some earrings. She wanted to look her best. Perhaps Lisa had something she could borrow. Edward saw the uncertainty in her face. But he also knew that a bridge had been crossed last night. He was trying not to pressurize her. She seemed vulnerable and knew was new to public outings. "Please help yourself to anything. I was going to give them to Goodwill. So help yourself. We'll chat after breakfast." "Thanks," Kenishia softly. She was glad she had kept her bra and forms under the nightgown. It kept up the appearance even when they had spooned in bed. Cherise was in a happy mood. There were only two outfits for her. Kenishia created two pigtails and tied a brightly colored ribbon in each. "Let's brush your teeth before you go." A few minutes later Kenishia watched her daughter walk hand in hand with Edward to his car. She seemed happy and oblivious to the problems they were facing. She was too young to understand. She went back upstairs. Her phone was pinging. She saw many missed calls and text messages. She just typed back. "Cherise is safe with me." There was an immediate response. "Where the hell are you guys? Leroy will pick you both up." Letitia had lost her license some months under a DUI. Kenishia ignored the message and went to the closet in Edward's room. The choice was large. She quickly chose a regular length sleeveless blue dress. She had earrings to match. There were matching sets of bras and panties. She took a pair. Kenishia stood under the warm shower trying to wash away her anxiety. She felt better afterwards but the doubts lingered. She pulled on the new bra and inserted the foam falsies. If she was going to dress more often she needed a better pair. It would be nice but not a priority. She heard the door open and Cherise shout out 'mommy'. She smiled as Edward must have coached her. Cherise didn't know how she would be dressed. Some dark lipstick, a touch of liner and she was ready to meet Cherise and Edward. She descended the stairs confidently. They both watched her come down the stairs carefully. The sandals had a wedge heel but Kenishia walked down confidently, a smile on her face. For a moment she felt great. "Wow," Edward voiced silently. "Mommy we got you bagels," Cherise said holding up a bag. "Thanks, sweetie. What did you get?" "I got a chocolate muffin," she replied beaming. "Great. Let's sit down shall we so you don't drop crumbs." Kenishia helped Cherise onto a chair. Edward got three small plates. "I'll put on some fresh coffee," Edward suggested. "I also got a carton of milk and some juice for Cherise." Kenishia gave him a grateful smile. It seemed Edward and Cherise had bonded. "Thanks," she said softly and sat down. Breakfast over, Kenishia was anxious to solve things. "I need to go the library or an Internet cafe. My PC is in the house and I need to make calls." Edward looked at her. "So let's have that chat. It didn't come up yesterday," Edward paused to smile," but I am a Lawyer, i specialize in commercial contracts. No experience with family matters. I know enough to make me dangerous." He took a sip of coffee. "But I know enough to help you. First things first: you have to protect Cherise. Let me ask and please answer truthfully. Do you want to go back to Letitia and work things out?" Kenishia gave him the saddest of looks. Confusion and fear on her face. Edward could imagine what she was going through. "I don't know," was the soft reply. "Ok. Time to decide that later. Sorry. You need to tell Letitia Cherise is with you and safe." "I did. She wanted to send Leroy to pick her and me up." "Oh. What did you reply?" "I haven't." "Good. Stay quiet. I can see the questions racing through your mind. So let's settle that first. You both can stay here as long as you want. My rate, as agreed, is a $1 per day. We already have an agreement. I have a small office in that alcove and a computer. You are welcome to use that. I don't have a spare cellphone but you are welcome to use the home line. Third, you should check your bank. If you have joint accounts you need to set up a separate account in your name quickly. Lastly, if you need to buy clothes and things I can give you a loan so money shouldn't be an issue. Of course, you are welcome to use the clothes upstairs. Any questions?" Kenishia stared back at Edward. It was an incredible offer: safe, warm with good company. Yet, what did he want in return? Could she give him what he wanted? Her thoughts were interrupted by Cherise. "I need to go wee wee." Kenishia rose and hurried upstairs with Cherise. She was grateful not to have to sit and face Edward. Cherise finished her business and looked at Kenishia. "Are we going to stay here?" It seemed even Cherise was forcing her to choose. "Sweetie, do you want to go back to the other house and your other mommy?" Cherise looked at her with her toothless grin. "I want to stay here with you da..Mommy. Can we do that? I get to sleep in a big bed with you." "Sure, sweetie. Whatever you like." "Can we go downstairs now? The man said I could have ice cream later." Kenishia smiled. The way to a child's heart: offer ice cream or chocolate. It would also work for her. "You just had breakfast. Later when we go to the mall. Ok? And that man is Uncle Edward." They went back downstairs. Edward had cleaned up the table and sat there with just a coffee. "Chocolate now?" Cherise asked Edward with a big grin. "Sweetie. I packed some crayons in the bag. Ask Uncle Edward nicely for some paper and you can draw something. Ok? Go upstairs and you'll find the crayons in your bag." Cherise hurried away. Kenishia looked at Edward. "We need to talk. We can go to the mall after lunch. Cherise normally takes a nap for an hour or so. She missed it yesterday." They heard the patter of feet. "Got it. Can I have some paper?" "Say please." Kenishia reminded her. "Please, Uncle Edward." Her smile was wide and hard to resist. "Sure." Edward said and rose. He was back in a moment with a small stack of papers. "Ok sweetie. Now make a nice picture. Edward and I need to talk." Cherise looked at her, eyes focused. "Ok mommy." It was said naturally and brought a smile to all. She then took her crayons and started to draw. Kenishia looked at Edward and moved her chair nearer to Edward. "Cherise thinks she would like to stay here with me. I can understand that. But she is now getting used to her new mommy. That means..,," Edward touched her arm. "You have or need to be her mommy for longer. Also you need to decide what you want. Cherise is young and will adapt. It's only been a day. She has seen Kenishia before so it's nothing new." Kenishia appeared confused and close to tears. "Yes but that is not the only issue." "What then? Can I help?" "After last night, i don't think you want Kenneth here. And I am not sure I want to be him either. Cherise can't tell the difference between Ken and Kenishia. What do I do?" Kenneth thought for a moment. "Forget me and Cherise for the moment. What does Kenneth or Kenishia want? We have a rental contract and that stands whatever you decide." "You kissed Kenishia not Kenneth." She looked at Edward and then looked away. "She liked it very much." They stared at each other for a long moment. "Look Kenishia, today is Saturday. You don't have to decide today. But you should by Monday. There are many outfits in the closet you can use as Kenishia. We can get anything else you need when we go to the mall. Be Kenishia to the full until tomorrow night - if you want of course. You can decide then what you want. You also have to think of your job. Makes sense?" There was a long silence. "Ok," Kenishia softly. "I will need somethings. I need to get stuff for Cherise too." "Check your bank. You may need to make changes." Kenishia nodded. "Have you given thought to Letitia? You will have to do something by Monday." Kenishia nodded again. "I haven't given it much thought. So much has happened since yesterday." Edward nodded. "Can I have some juice?" Cherise interrupted her thoughts. "Please." "Please mommy." Kenishia had to smile. It is what she had asked Cherise to do. "When are we going for ice cream?" She showed the picture she had drawn. "Beautiful, sweetie. I am so proud of you." Cherise beamed with happiness. "Later, baby. Show Edward what you drew. I have to make some calls." Kenishia went upstairs. It took some time and Kenishia finally came down the stairs, a worried look on her face. Edward immediately recognized there was a problem. He raised his eyebrows in a silent question. "She has cleaned me out. My bank account is overdrawn. There were over $500 yesterday. It was a joint account. My credit card has about $45 left. Letitia has sent me a message." "Well what did it say?" Edward asked impatiently. Cherise was sitting on his lap drawing in hand. Kenishia scrolled through her phone and showed him the message. 'You dumbass fag, if you don't bring Cherise back today, Leroy is going to find you and make you his cocksucking bitch. I want Cherise today.' The look on Kenishia's face was one of shock, anger and confusion. Edward put Cherise down gently, gave her some water and went to Kenishia. He hugged her tightly in silence. Tears rolled down her face. He took a tissue and wiped her tears. She was clinging to him. With one arm still around her he moved to the faucet and gave her a sip of water. He held the glass to her mouth. "Take a sip," he encouraged. "Not very nice but no reason to worry. Leroy doesn't know where to find you. He may be big but I am not that small. Secondly, you have to decide if you want to keep Cherise or not. Based on what I saw briefly, she will not have a life with Letitia. I saw how you take care of her. Better than her natural mother. You are safe here and Leroy can't touch you. Ok?" Kenishia buried her head on his shoulder. It was a turning point in her life. "I don't think I can go back to Letty," she said softly. "Why are you crying da..mommy?" Cherise asked putting down her drawing. Kenishia pushed back from Edward and looked him. There were no words. "It's ok, baby. Don't worry. Everything will be ok. Let me ask you again. Do you want to go back to the other house or stay here?" Cherise crinkled her little nose trying to understand the question. "I want to stay here with you. Can we mommy? Can we?" "I think she has a good point. She's a smart little girl and is going to get a big ice cream." Edward felt Kenishia tighten her grip around his waist. "Can we go now?" "Well, I think your mommy needs a little time to get ready. Then we are going to go out and have some lunch. After that we'll do some shopping and get you the ice cream. How does that sound?" A moment's pause. "Ok," in a resigned voice. Even Kenishia had to smile how Cherise was playing Edward. He was putty. "I suppose that's my cue to get ready. You'll miss your nap again so you have to go to bed early. Go put your shoes on. I'll be up in a second." Cherise dashed out of the room. Kenishia turned to Edward. "Thanks. You've made her day. We can go to Goodwill. I don't have too much money for her clothes." "I told you not to worry about that. I'll keep a tab." "Why are you doing this for us? You only met us yesterday." "Let's say I like to help special people who come my way. It gives me a chance to give back." He kissed her lightly. She grabbed his head and pulled him in for a bigger kiss. "I needed that. Cherise is waiting," she said and walked away. Edward looked at her back. Slim and graceful in those sandals. He cast his mind back 24 hours when she had walked a mile in 3" heels. He didn't quite understand the last 24 hours but he was happy for the first time in months. Lisa had been out of his mind totally. It took some time for them to come down. Kenishia had found some open- toe sandals and used subtle shades of eyeshadow and brighter lipstick. She had a small handbag slung across her shoulders. Cherise wore a brightly colored pants suit. Her hair was in two tightly braided pigtails. A typical mother daughter pair. Edward beamed at them. He was determined to show them a good time. They looked cheerful. "I did help myself," she saw him gazing at her. He gave her a thumbs up. "Depending on what you decide, we will have to get a baby seat for Cherise. Holding her on your lap is not good. Hopefully we can settle this by Monday," Edward said as they pulled out of the garage. They drove to a larger mall with wide variety of shops, restaurants and coffee bars. "I know Cherise will need to go to bed early so we can't go out for dinner. But I will arrange a nice dinner and pretend we went out. How does that sound?" "You will cook?" asked Kenishia amazed. "I didn't say that. I am a lawyer, remember? I said I will arrange." "Oh, ok," Kenishia said with a small smile. "So I have to listen and be careful what I say." "Oh yes." Edward exchanged a knowing glance with Kenishia. They parked the car and Cherise grabbed Kenishia's and Edward's hands. They looked like any other mixed racial family. At the entrance Edward stopped them and looked at Kenishia. He opened his wallet and gave her several large denomination notes and his debit card. Kenishia looked at him, a flicker of fear in her face. "Just take it and buy what you need." She still looked at him, uncertain and nervous. "Cherise and I have a date with an ice cream shop. Take your time, buy what you want and we'll be at the coffee shop over there." Kenishia didn't move. She still looked nervous. "I don't want to shop by myself. It would be the first time dressed like this." "Oh. Sorry wasn't thinking. You look so good I didn't think. Let's go. Where first? Don't be shy, take your time." "I don't know this mall," she said softly. "Ok. What do you need?" "Some clothing items for Cherise. I need a special personal item and a drugstore." "What kind of personal item? Will a drugstore have it?" Edward's voice sounded curious. Kenishia blushed. "I need to find something to ...to fill my bra properly." This was said softly. Edward smiled. "Ah." He replied. "I think this store might have something." They walked along the mall. Cherise held fast to their hands. "I think they get this question many times. Don't be shy. Make sure you get what you line." Kenishia didn't seem so sure but followed along. They came to an Intimate Apparel store. "I think they can help. Let's go in." Edward held the door open and walked in brazenly. He was not at all put off by the long racks of frilly garments. He looked around and dragged his companions to the assistant. She looked at him noticing the lady with ebony skin with a Caucasian male. A little girl holding on to each. "My partner here needs some help with some inserts. Can you please help?" Kenishia looked at him pleadingly. She didn't want to answer questions. "Of course we can help," she said in a friendly manner. This was Kenishia's first encounter with a shop assistant dressed as she was. Goodwill never let her try clothes. She had to choose carefully. "Let me show you." Noticing Kenishia's pleading look he picked up Cherise and took Kenishia's hand. She gave him a smile of gratitude and squeezed his hand. The assistant looked at Kenishia and gauging her size opened several boxes. "I'll let you decide," he said and stepped away. Some ten minutes later he saw Kenishia with a basket in her hand enter the dressing room. There was another delay and twenty minutes later appeared back and talked to the assistant. She had a box in her hand. She walked up to Edward a coy smile on her face "that was the most frightening thing I've done." But she seemed pleased. "Anything else?" Edward asked. "Go for it." "There are plenty of clothes in the house. These pads were quite expensive but feel great." She looked at him for approval. He just smiled. "I told the girl I am wearing them out of the store. Not sure what happens after tomorrow." Her voice tapered off. "We can always come back. Now Cherise and I do have a problem. We need to eat and then have ice cream." "Yeah," came the little shriek. She seemed perfectly happy in Edward's arms. Kenishia watched the interaction with a smile. It brought memories of family life. A dream that could never be. Many decisions faced her tomorrow. But she made up her mind to live today. They went to a Bakery for a sandwich lunch which Kenishia shared with Cherise. Then they enjoyed ice cream, chocolate flavored, and went to a department store for Cherise. She shrieked at the outfits and couldnt wait to try them all. Finally Edward and Cherise stayed outside whilst Kenishia visited a drugstore. She came out a short while later with a small bag. They returned home midafternoon. "Ok. I have an errand to run and will be back within 30 minutes. Call me if you need anything. Cherise, how do you like Mac n Cheese for dinner?" "Yeah," came the usual shriek. "I'll be back soon." Edward left them. At the grocery he got some champagne, small appetizers and fresh bread. He would order the main meal out. He returned quickly to find both relaxing watching TV. "Got everything," he said to nobody in particular. "What are your plans for the evening? We can stay here by ourselves." Kenishia asked gently. Edward looked at her with a smile. "Under normal circumstances i would take my date out for a drink, a nice dinner, dancing and then..." he saw Kenishia's reaction. "But, sadly, I haven't had a date in months. No pressure but I thought you might like to dress up as much or as little and we can pretend Kenishia has a date. Just relax and forget everything else for one night. I want to get to know you better." Kenishia was looking at him trying to gauge his intentions. It was a unique opportunity for Kenishia to dress with a fabulous choice of outfits. Would she then go beyond the point of no return? She wasn't sure she was ready for that much as she liked Edward. He had not pushed her as he could easily have last night. It was the ultimate fantasy of a crossdresser. Edward saw the confusion. "I know I'll be tempted but I promise to be good. I don't know either where it will end." "Ok," replied Kenishia. "I will also try to be good." She smiled at the thought. "Cherise can eat at six and have her shower. I can be ready for eight. Can I check the clothes again?" "Feel free. Take as many as you want. Great plan." The next few hours passed in a haze. Kenishia and Edward were both wrapped up in their own thoughts. What they wanted? How far would they go? There was a definite attraction: physical or emotional was the question. That is what made it harder. Both were new to this form of expressing their sexuality. Cherise loved the Mac n Cheese and scraped the bowl clean. She was happy. Both of her favorite dishes in one day. Kenishia had not seen her so happy in a long time. How could this innocent child be made to suffer because of a drug addicted parent on the one hand and a crossdressing partner on the other? She deserved better. Around 6.30 Cherise gave Edward a hug and marched upstairs. Whilst they were in the bathroom Edward decided to change into a long sleeved shirt and a pair of pressed pants. He ran a finger through his short hair and used a dash of cologne. He slipped on leather loafers. He was very presentable and dashed downstairs. He laid the table and prepared the dishes with the appetizers. He had the champagne chilling and the wine ready. He cut some bread into small pieces. Just before 8 pm he heard the front door. He grabbed his wallet and opened the door. His favorite Italian restaurant had delivered the dish he had requested. He waited impatiently, nervous and anxious as anyone on a first date. It was 8.15 when Edward heard the heels tap on the hardwood floor. He turned his back to the door deliberately not wanting to spoil his moment of anticipation. "Good evening, Edward," the soft sexy voice said. Edward's hair stood on end even before he saw her. He turned around. The most gorgeous woman stood before him. Her ebony skin contrasted with the snow white of her figure hugging lace dress. It was short sleeved, square cut across the bust line, a prominent bulge above a flat waist. It hung well above her knees exposing long smooth legs perched on high heels. He didn't see any stockings. She had a small black clutch purse in her hand. Kenishia looked gorgeous. Edward nearly dropped the bottle of champagne. He was speechless. "Aren't you going to say 'Hello'?" She asked in that low voice. Edward rushed to her and hugged her. "You look fabulous," he said and moved to kiss her. Inches away from her lips he stopped as if to ask permission. "It took me some time to get the look right," she said softly. "But I would like your kiss." Edward didn't need encouragement and crushed her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss. It took some minutes for them to separate. "If you greet all your girlfriends like that before dinner, they must spend a lot of time in the bathroom repairing their faces. They probably never get to eat either." Kenishia gave him that dazzling smile. "But I wouldn't want you to stop greeting me like that." Kenishia wiggled her hips to the downstairs bathroom. Edward stood there transfixed for a moment and then sprang into action. He opened the champagne and carefully poured out two glasses. He unwrapped the appetizers and waited for Kenishia to return. He was not disappointed as she came back and hugged him. He got a small peck on the lips and a soft 'thanks'. They sat at the kitchen table snacking at the cheeses and prosciutto. Edward's eyes never left Kenishia's face. "Is something wrong with my face? You keep staring." "You are so beautiful I can hardly believe you are seated next to me." "I like compliments. It took some time but it seems it worked. The breast forms feel incredible. Having access to a fabulous wardrobe helped. I even used some of the remaining perfume. Hope that's ok." "More than ok. How do you feel for Kenishia to be on her first date? At least I think it is." Kenishia looked at him with a smile. "It is the first time and I am so happy you made it possible. I feel great." "You should. You look so gorgeous and happy. I don't know why you even hesitated." "Yes. I am happier than I have been in a long time. But tomorrow I must face reality. Cherise might want to see her mother. I don't know if I can or want to be Kenishia 24/7." Edward looked at her. "Tonight you are a beautiful girl on a date with a guy who can't believe how lucky he is. Let's enjoy and tomorrow we can face reality together. Agree?" Kenishia looked at him and smiled. "Yes, I should enjoy the moment. So what plans do you have for tonight?" She said this coyly from beneath her lashes. "Well, i am in a bit of a dilemma. I am trying to figure it out." "Dilemma?" Edward looked at her. "I am not sure if I should ravish you now or after dinner." He waited for a reaction. Kenishia was smiling. "Tough choice but will you have enough energy if you don't eat?" "Maybe I would like a different type of food." "Yes, i might like to try that too. But I think appetizers are good before the main course. There could be a break." "Good point. Would you like to try the appetizers?" She looked at him from beneath those lashes, a smile widening. "Oh yes," she said breathlessly. They both looked at each other. The atmosphere was sexually charged. The end inevitable. Their eyes on each other, they put down their glasses and got up simultaneously. It took a few steps only for them to be in a tight embrace, lips glued and tongues exploring feverishly. Their bodies pressed together. It didn't take long for Kenishia to feel the hardness pushing at her tightly compressed crotch. She pressed herself against Edward, one hand around his neck and the other feeling his bulge. Edward got the message and loosened his belt, zip and button. The pants fell to the floor. Her hand reached inside his boxers and felt his growing tumescence. Kenishia broke off lip contact. Faces still close and looking directly into his eyes, both hands reached into his pants. She held his sac and stroked the shaft slowly. "Can I taste this appetizer?" she asked in a husky voice, "Of course. But there are also other things." Kenishia sat back down, hands still firmly around Edward's man parts. She looked up at him and took the tip in her mouth. "I want to do this. I need to experience this. It's my first time." Her voice was soft. She took him in slowly enjoying the growing firmness. "What man wouldn't want to experience this from his beautiful girlfriend?" Edward said through half closed eyes. It had been many months since he had been with a girl. He tried hard to concentrate and not flood her mouth. Kenishia continued with slow movements. She had managed almost 2/3 of his length, enjoying the taste and texture filling her mouth and felt him begin to thrust a little faster. She knew what this meant and wrapped her arms around his behind and held him firmly in place. She needed to taste him fully. "I'm close," Edward said. Kenishia looked up at him, trying to indicate she was ready for him. She took him in deeper and soon found her lips against his groin and her mouth filling up. She wrapped her lips firmly around it. She wouldn't lose a drop. She swallowed as fast as it spurted. It deflated slowly as she continued to suck him slowly. Finally she let it escape and smiled. "That was Kenishia's first appetizer," she said tucking him away. "I liked it very much." "It was wonderful for me," Edward said pulling up his pants and fastening his belt. "It has been some time since my last eruption" They sat down and continued with the food. A special Italian mushroom pasta was the highlight. Kenishia was not a big eater and picked at her food. She explained how she had started to dress intermittently using her sister's clothing from the age of 16 or so. His family disowned him after they found Kenneth dressing. He worked two jobs to get through college. Even during college it was just a few times s year at parties or Halloween with clothes from girlfriends. He gave it up after moving in with Letitia. Then Cherise was born and there were no opportunities. Some six months ago after Letitia cut up his stuff, he had used a dress for convenience. The old urges came back. Whilst out with Cherise there were many thrift shops en route and she acquired a cheap and modest wardrobe. Letitia had seen the dress Kenneth wore after she cut up his clothes and made no comment. He wore androgynous clothes but dressed frequently during the day when Letitia was not home. This is the longest period where Kenishia had stayed dressed. There was no doubt she enjoyed it. Cherise didn't seem to care. "I should repair my face and check on Cherise. Would you like me to come down again?" "Definitely. Our date isn't over." Her smile widened. "I'll be down soon." She came to him, held his face in both hands and kissed him. "I also wanted to say thanks for taking us in. You'll never know what this means to Cherise and me." She moved away elegantly. Edward. cleared away the table and wiped it down. He wondered at the events of the last 36 hours and what had just happened. He had enjoyed it and wanted more. Even if it was new for Kenishia, so it was for him with a girl like her. How far would or could he go? He took the bottle to the living room and put on some jazz music. After Lisa, this was the first encounter with a sexual partner. "I'm back," said the soft voice shaking him out of his reverie. She had changed out if that white dress and now wore a short silk robe tied at the waist. She had borrowed the robe still hanging in the bathroom. Her lipstick was fresh. She still looked like a sexy babe spending time with her lover. "I didn't want to spoil that beautiful dress. It is gorgeous." "You looked stunning. Better than L..." Edward broke off embarrassed. "You should keep it if you want." "Yes, I'd like that but... " "Yes, you can decide tomorrow. Drink? Wine? Liquor? I have a good whisky." "Am not a big drinker. I don't know much about whisky," she replied softly. "You choose. But only a little." Edward poured out two small glasses of whisky. They took a sip. "It's strong, but warming," Kenishia said softly. "I am getting to like new things.". "Would you like to dance?" "I've never danced in heels before. I haven't danced much at all." Edward held out his arms and Kenishia walked toward him. "Just follow my lead." He put his arms around her waist and drew her to him. Her face was inches below his. They swayed to the music, cheek to cheek and her hands around his neck. Bodies close together. There were no words, just a quiet calm. After several songs Kenishia raised her face to his. "How does the evening end with your dates?" she asked. Edward looked at her. "Depends on the date. If it is an average date, I drop her off with a kiss on the cheek." "And if she is special?" "Depends on the lady and what she wants. She looked at him seriously. "So am I normal or special?" "You are very special," he replied kissing her gently. "Very special indeed." They kissed for longer. "Are you going to show me how special I am like your other girlfriends?" Edward looked at her trying to see what the message was. "I don't force girls to do anything with me. When they want to do something they send me unmistakable signals. And then we both have a good time." "Hmm," muttered Kenishia buying her face in his shoulder. She pushed her crotch against his. They could both feel the growing bulges. She pressed harder against him. "Is that an unmistakable signal?" "Most definitely. I hope you are getting my signals too." "Oh yes. But you know my inexperience... " Edward silenced her with a lingering kiss. "I would never hurt you. Besides it will also be my first experience." Arms around each other they proceeded upstairs. Kenishia wanted to check in on Cherise and use the bathroom. Edward went to his bedroom and undressed. He sat on the bed surprised at himself. This was a real surprise. He had taken girls to bed on the first date before he had married. He had never thought of backdoor sex and never experienced it with Lisa. Kenishia came in. She just had on a bra and panties. The latter showing a bulge. Her robe was in her hand. They looked at each other knowing they would cross a threshold tonight. She dropped the robe, bent down and kissed him. Lips locked, her hands went to his tumescent member. She went down on her knees and broke the kiss. Her warm mouth licked his hardening member, her hands massaging his sac. He was rock hard. Kenishia reached down and took a tube from the robe. She applied it liberally to his cock and rose. They looked at each other again in silence. Kenishia kissed him, turned around and removed her panties. She didn't want Edward to see her boy parts. She leaned over the bed and positioned his stiff penis at her entrance. She had lubricated her passage liberally and pushing back allowed him entrance. She controlled the speed of entry. Slowly she let her full weight drive him in deeply. The pain was slight, the feeling exhilarating. She stated to rock back and forth. Edward grabbed her breasts. Reaching underneath the bra he rubbed her nipples. He was content to let Kenishia drive the pace and was amazed at the tightness and sensations. She began varying the pace and finally began to thrust back faster. Edward had his hands at her waist and helped her keep the rhythm. He could feel the end approach as Kenishia started to moan softly and thrust back hard till his full length was buried deep in her. A few moments later she gave a small cry and bounced back furiously. She had cum as did Edward a few moments later. The movements slowed down and Kenishia leaned back against him. Edward kissed her ear and whispered 'incredible'. Kenishia leaned back pressing herself to him still conjoined. She straightened up slowly. Her cupped hand held her ejaculate. She looked at him and licked at it tentatively, then taking in a larger glob. Edward brought her hand to his face and flicked his tongue at it. This was his first taste of her ejaculate. He then brought the whole hand and slurped up the rest. He kissed Kenishia, exchanging their saliva and sperm. They tightened their embrace. "Thank you," Kenishia said breathlessly. "I don't know how to explain what I am feeling now." "No thanks needed. I think it was incredible. Let's get some sleep." Edward looked at her hoping she would share his bed. "I need to clean up. Be right back." Kenishia left for the bathroom grabbing her panties and robe. She was back a few minutes later in bra and panties and crept into bed. "I don't know if that made my decision easier or harder," she said and fell asleep with her head on his shoulder. When Edward awoke, Kenishia was gone. He knew she would be with Cherise. That girl was an important part of her life. He thought about his own opinions. He was developing feelings for Kenishia but it was early days. He was enjoying his time with her and developing a relationship with little Cherise. He was also growing fond of new adopted fami;y. There needed to be closure between Kenneth and Letitia. There would normally be a fight about Cherise. He had mixed emotions: not getting involved was a mantra he espoused but he genuinely had seen the abuse of Cherise and Kenishia. He could understand that Letitia would have problems with Kenishia but using Leroy to scare her didn't appear right. He wondered if jealousy was also an issue: Kenishia was a beautiful 'girl' whereas Letitia had let herself go. Drugs, liquor and bad company didn't make for good behavior. But they had Cherise together. That should be a consideration. Edward had seen how Kenishia took care of the little girl. Yet society would frown upon her being entrusted with the girl's guardianship. He would have to await Kenishia's decision tonight to either remain as Kenishia or return to being Kenneth with occasional dressing up. He could small coffee brewing, so pulled up his boxers, grabbed a light robe and walked downstairs barefoot. "Good morning," he greeted them cheerfully. Cherise was eating cereal and Kenishia sat in her robe drinking coffee. "Good morning," Kenishia greeted him, rose, hugged him briefly and got him a mug. Cherise was smiling but with a mouthful of cereal had no words for Edward. "So, Cherise did you sleep well?" Edward took a sip of coffee. "Yes. And daddy slept next to me." Neither Edward nor Kenishia wanted to correct her. It was said naturally. Kenishia looked a little sad but recovered quickly. "So what are plans for today?" Kenishia looked at him. She knew decision time was coming. "Do you want to try reconciliation with Letitia?" Edward asked quietly. "We will always be connected because of Cherise. But the truth is I don't know if she can change her habits. Cherise needs a safer environment. I am scared of Leroy too. I am not sure too if I can stop being Kenishia." After a moment's pause added, "Especially after last night." "You shouldn't mess with them. Had Leroy seen you dressed before Friday?" Kenishia shook her head. "No, but Letitia must have said something. I don't know what to do." "Do you want some advice? I am not a family law guy, but I know enough." "What?" "You may not like this but it is important for you to continue to have a role in Cherise's life." "What do you suggest?" "Meet Letitia in a public setting as Kenneth. Don't worry I'll be close by with Cherise. When you suggest, I will bring Cherise to you, perhaps Letitia is ready to let Cherise be with you. I can write the contracts of course." "She'll never agree." "Is she financially independent? Sorry. Are you? I know you have a job." "Letitia is a checkout clerk in a grocery store. She will have to move or go back to her parents. Or she could move in with Leroy." In spite of their physical interaction which had been quick, disclosure about finance appeared to be even more personal. "I do ok and could manage to take care of Cherise. Also because i can work from home." "Do you guys have joint assets? Houses? Cars? I know you had a joint bank account which she cleaned out." "No, the house is rented. We have an old car which we use when we need to drive. Not much else. She can't drive it legally because of a previous DUI." "I don't think the financial side will be a major issue. I think for you the issue is Cherise. The court will want to know if you can look after her. Letitia will and should have access." Edward paused. "If she brings up the issue of your dressing it may be an issue with the courts. I am not a family lawyer but it could cause problems. So getting a settlement may be the easier way." "So? What should I do? I know I promised to make a decision today but it is hard." Kenishia was close to tears. Edward wondered if what they had experienced together in the last few days had sewed more confusion in her mind. "Are you crying da..Mommy? Cherise asked. "No honey. Would you like something else?" "Can I have a muffin?" The smile on her face would have denied her nothing. Kenishia stood up and found the bag with yesterday's breakfast remains. She broke a muffin in half. "Ok. Start with this." "Ok suggest you send Letitia a message saying you want to meet in a neutral place at 3 or 4 pm at the Starbucks in the Mall. They have many tables and chairs in the passageway and Letitia would not make a scene. She should come alone without Leroy or anyone else. You will be Kenneth for the meeting." Edward paused to let Kenishia take it in. "I will not be far away with Cherise. You tell Letitia you want to get back together or split but either way you will take care of Cherise. Of course if you choose to split, Letitia can see Cherise whenever she wants. If she starts yelling or threatens just get up and walk away. If things are reasonable, send me a message and I will let Cherise come to you. In any case I won't be far from you. Letitia will not see me." Kenishia looked desperately unhappy. She didn't want to be Kenneth around Edward but he made sense. "I don't have anything to wear," she said softly. "We can get you a T Shirt, pants and sneakers. Until you have decided no need to make a big investment. But you can get this agreement easier if you are Kenneth." "I don't want you to see Ken," she said resignedly. "Well, I will have to. He will be like any other guy I meet. But when I meet Kenishia I will see a beautiful lady with whom I want to spend special time. Does that make sense?" He looked at the confusion in Kenishia's face. "So send that message now. Perhaps Letitia is working or can't meet. We should do something by tomorrow." Kenishia rose and left the room. It was just 9 am on a Sunday. Cherise asked Edward if he was going to buy her another ice cream today at the mall. "Have you been a good girl?" Cherise shook her head up and down vigorously. "Yes," she said emphatically. "Then I guess you have earned it." Her eyes lit up. "Can we go now?" "No. You just had breakfast. After lunch would be good." Kenishia returned. Her expression was passive. "Letty will meet at 3.30 at the Starbucks. She finishes work at 3. Didn't reply about Cherise or getting together or parting. She was at work." "I promised Cherise here an ice cream after lunch. We can go to the house and get you some clothes or we can buy some items." "If Letty is working we can go to the house. Perhaps I can get my laptop too." "Let's get ready and go. I'll take a quick shower." Edward rose and they all went upstairs. Within 30 minutes they were gathered downstairs. Kenishia wore the skirt, blouse and sandals she had worn the day before. It was modest everyday attire and nobody would have wondered at Kenishia's gender. They drove in silence, Kenishia in the back seat with Cherise on her lap. At the house all was quiet. Edward decided to accompany Kenishia carrying Cherise. They approached the front door cautiously. It wasn't locked and Edward pushed the door open. The small living room was a mess. Empty food cartons and liquor bottles. It reeked of drug use. Edward whispered for Kenishia to grab what she wanted. He used his cellphone and took some photographs of the mess. Cherise seemed frozen confronted with this mess relative to Edward's home. She gave no recognition of her previous home. He carried her outside. Kenishia joined him a moment later, a small plastic bag in hand. There was no laptop. They left the house quickly. "I can't let Cherise live there," Kenishia said hugging the child. "I am not sure what happened. I tried to keep it organized as best I could." "I agree that is not a place for a little girl. You have to insist that Letitia goes into rehab. There's no way she can take care of Cherise." Hearing her name the little girl spoke up. "Can we get that ice cream now?" "After lunch sweetie," Kenishia said kissing the little girl's head. "I couldnt find my laptop. All my work was on it." Kenishia appeared close to tears again. "It was old but it was mine. I found a flash drive with some backups but I lost everything on my current project. I have to complete it by Wednesday." "Ask Letty if she knows where it is. She probably sold it for drug money. Tell her you'll buy it back for $100 or whatever." Edward turned into a small shopping center with a grocery store. They went in and purchased some basic groceries and were back out again quickly. They had a quick lunch of sandwiches. "Sweetie, before we go for that ice cream I think you should take a nap. When you wake up we can go." Cherise looked at her over a cup of milk. "Promise?" "Of course. Let's go." Edward watched them walk up hand in hand. Kenishia really cared for the little girl. Was this a normal family scene? Except Kenishia was not a 'normal' girl. But in all other respects she was very feminine. It was too early in the relationship for such thoughts. But he knew definitely he wanted to explore more. The last two days were life changing for him. He had experienced stuff he had never thought about. More importantly, he had liked it. Kenishia was somebody special. Kenishia came down some time later interrupting his thoughts. "I think we need to leave by 2.45 or so. I would like to find a table before she gets there. Is that ok? You may have to keep Cherise occupied for some time." "No problem. It means we have to eat bigger ice creams." Edward smiled at her. "How do you feel? I am s good listener." Kenishia sat down with a glass of water and looked at Edward intently. "Whatever happens, these last two days have been the best of my life. I regret nothing. I enjoyed all we did." She continued to stare at Edward. "Come here to me. You look as if the problems of the world are on your shoulders." Kenishia came to Edward and stood before him and leaned down to kiss him. Edward pulled her down onto his lap. He kissed her tenderly. "Everything will be fine," he murmured. "I need you to promise me something," she said looking at him. "Of course, if I can." "If something happens, please take care of Cherise. She likes you." "First nothing is going to happen to you. I will be close by. If it makes you happy, be sure I will take care of Cherise. But nothing will happen." "After today I don't know if Kenishia will exist." "I think Kenishia will always be a part of you. But don't prejudge Letty. She had problems too. I am sure things will work out. You can be Kenishia here anytime you want." Kenishia kissed him. "Thanks. There is something I need to do," she said and slid down between his legs. She opened his pants and pulled down his boxers. She kissed the tip of his exposed penis. Her mouth moved down and sucked in each ball bathing them in saliva. She slowly sucked in the penis in ever deeper thrusts. In long slow motions she buried her nose in his groin. He erupted deep in her mouth as she continued to milk him. She kissed the tip and tucked it back into his boxers. "Time for Kenneth," she said, kissed him and walked away upstairs. It was some forty minutes later that Edward heard Charisa's voice. "So mommy, are you daddy now?" "Sweetie, i told you when I am dressed like this I am daddy. When I wear a dress I'm mommy. Do you understand that? However I am dressed I love you very much. Ok?" "Yes daddy. I love you too." As they came into view Edward saw Kenneth for the first time. He was slim with a friendly face. Kenishia was not remotely evident. He wore a polo shirt with jeans, sneakers and smiled shyly at Edward. "Hi," he said softly. "Ready?" Edward replied. "We're going to get ice cream," Cherise said with a big smile. "Yes, just you and me. We will let daddy go somewhere else," Edward offered. "Yeaaaaah," the little girl cried and chatted away as to what flavors she wanted. It was almost 3 pm when they entered the mall. The journey was silent except for the shouts of Cherise. Once in the mall they walked quietly and located the Starbucks. There was a small bookshop almost opposite. That is where Edward and Cherise would be. On a signal from Kenneth, Cherise would run across. "Don't worry. It will be perfect. Letty will be as nervous as you. Remember if anyone else shows up or Letty loses control come into the bookshop with Cherise. Don't argue or yell. Ok? I'll be right back." Kenneth nodded. "Thanks," A table had just opened right on the walkway. Edward walked over to the Starbucks and came out later with a cup of coffee. "You can't sit empty. So just sip this until she comes. Good luck. Come Cherise. It's time for our ice cream." The little girl took his hand and they walked away. Kenneth sat at the table and watched them go. Cherise was happy and he couldnt imagine life without her. Yet, Letty had a say in Cherise's future. He was confused and tried to compose himself for the meeting with Letty. He was astonished at his actions as Kenishia. Seeing Edward walk with Cherise he felt nothing. Yet he knew that Kenishia very much wanted intimacy with Edward and had shown her desire very personally. He didn't know how Edward regarded those encounters. Certainly Kenneth felt Edward had enjoyed all Kenishia had done. It seemed like there was a switch. The moment Kenishia was ready, her female instincts took over. She had very much enjoyed doing those things with Edward. His thoughts were interrupted by Letty. Leroy was with her. She had a plastic bag in her hand. "Where's Cherise," was her greeting. Kenneth wanted to get up and walk away. Something caused him to stay seated and brave this out. Kenneth looked at Leroy. He was huge and could crush him with one blow. His eyes were glazed over with alcohol and drugs. He hoped Leroy would not make a fuss in a busy mall. Edward would be watching. "She is not far away and I can get her here quickly." Kenneth's voice sounded soft but firm. He was determined to stand up for Cherise and himself. In this public place he doubted Leroy would start something. "Do you have my laptop?" Kenneth asked quietly. "Yes, here. Where's the $100?" Letty gave him the plastic bag. Kenneth took out the laptop and fired it up. He opened a few files and it seemed to be intact. He reached into his pocket and took out the $100 Edward had loaned him. "So where's the girl?" Letty asked pocketing the note. "She's nearby. So what do you want to do?" "She wants a man, not a cocksucking faggot." Leroy hissed this softly but his menacing tone was clear. "And we want the girl." "How will you look after it?" The conversation indicated Leroy was now Letty's man. "That is my problem," Letty spat. "I'm her mother." "Except when this faggot dresses like you and acts like her mother." Leroy guffawed at the joke. "The girl might be confused." "Well, i don't think Cherise deserves to live with a parent who is full of drugs and booze. Who will look after her when you are at work?" "Yeah? So what are you going to do about it fag boy?" Leroy pushed his face close to Kenneth's. "He doesn't have to do anything," Edward' voice interrupted Leroy. "Daddy, i had a big ice cream and I got a book," Cherise shouted at Kenneth, ignoring Letty. Edward put her down and she rushed to Kenneth who hugged her and took her onto his lap. She had a book in her hand. "I am Edward Higgins with Community Family Aid. Kenneth approached us on Friday as he was concerned about his daughter. We went to your home to find her. She was hungry, crying and in total distress. We took her into custody for her own protection. When Kenneth informed us he was meeting you today, we decided to see if her parents could cope. I was there as we collected the child and have photographic evidence of the state of the house and child. Also of you and your friend here. I have no power over your drug use but you are not a responsible mother. Neither does your friend here impress me as a guardian for your child. If you wish to have rights to see the child again, you should be at my office at 3 pm tomorrow. We will have an agreement that her father has sole custody. He will allow you to see the child regularly at a place and time to be agreed. If you are not ready to do that, I have no choice but to put the girl into foster care." Edward reached into his wallet and brought out a business card. "Please be there promptly or you will lose all tights. The girl deserves better." Edward grabbed Cherise who came to him eagerly. They left a stunned Letty and Leroy. Edward walked to the car with Cherise and Kenneth rushed after them with his laptop. As they drove off, Edward saw Kenneth hug Cherise. "Thank you," he said as he saw Edward looking at them in the mirror. "I saw them approach. Leroy was trying to scare you. When you didn't walk away as we discussed, I thought you needed help." "Who is Community Family Aid?" Edward smiled. "No idea but it sounded good. They had no idea. Having the business card helped." "Yes. What happens to us now?" "Well, I thought we had a contract. It's still valid." "What happens to Kenishia?" "I told you. Your decision. But I need Kenneth for the signing. Everything else is your call. What are you thinking? It should be easier now if Letty does sign the agreement." "Yes. I need to decide what is best for Cherise. That is my only concern." "Understand. But you also have to decide what is best for you and your peace of mind so you can have the time to take care of Cherise. Ok. Cherise, we are celebrating tonight. What would you like to eat?" "Ice cream," she replied with a big smile. "You had plenty of that today. So choose something else. How about pizza?" "Yeah," came the enthusiastic reply. This girl was easy to please. "Great we can order in." Cherise was happy, her mind on pizza. Kenneth appeared deep in thought. It was 5.30 pm when they arrived back at the house, "would you like some water?" Kenneth asked Cherise. "Ok." They went to the kitchen. Kenneth got her a glass of water. "We can go up and change until the pizza comes." Kenneth said. The little girl looked at Kenneth. "Daddy are you going to be mommy tonight and sleep next to me?" Kenneth looked at her aghast. He didn't have a quick response. The girl looked at him, a big smile on her face. Edward could see the confusion on Kenneth's face. After a long silence Kenneth asked," Who do you want sleeping next to you, sweetie?" There was no hesitation in the reply. "You, mommy." Kenneth looked at her and smiled. "Of course I will be mommy for you." Kenneth looked at Edward with a small smile on his face, happy the decision was made for him and one that he wanted. Edward smiled too. Kenneth was a nice person but he preferred Kenishia. "Well then let's go upstairs and get ready," Kenneth said looking at Edward. "Help yourself," Edward mouthed. He could read Kenneth's mind. Edward went to his small alcove with desk and computer. He ordered two medium pizzas for home delivery. He began to draft the contract for Letty and Kenneth. He wanted to have a friend, specializing in family law, review his draft. He also needed to find a friendly lawyer for Letty. It would be rare for a single lawyer to represent both parties. "Mommy is the pizza here yet?" Edward heard Cherise's voice and saved his work. He would come back to it later. He turned his chair. Cherise was dressed in a lime green pajama suit that they had purchased yesterday. Her hair tightly wrapped in two pigtails. She had a big smile on her face. Behind her stood the vision of beauty. It was Kenishia in a glittering dress of gold sequins. The dress was well above her knees and contrasted sharply with the ebony color of her skin. Edward looked at her with open mouth admiring the figure before him. With subtle makeup except for bright red lipstick, Kenishia looked ready to hit the clubs. Edward recalled that this was a dress worn many years ago by Lisa for their engagement party. "Cherise picked out the dress," Kenishia said by way of explanation. "I think I am a little overdressed for pizza." "You look incredible," Edward muttered. They continued looking at each other and were interrupted by the doorbell. "Pizza," Cherise shouted breaking the spell of the moment. Edward moved to the door and collected the pizza. He observed Kenishia move with Cherise. He couldnt believe the transformation. As a guy Kenneth was nondescript and would draw no attention. As Kenishia there were many men - and some women - who would hope to have her in their bed, Cherise was chattering away over the pizza wanting her 'mommy' to read her two stories at bedtime. It was clear the child adored Kenishia. Whether it was mommy or daddy, Cherise did not care. She knew who would take care of her. She was too young for labels. Over mouthfuls of pizza, Edward and Kenishia looked at each other intensely, their communication nonverbal with increasing sexual tension. "I have a suggestion for you to make your decision easier," Edward said. "What?" "You have a rental contract here for as long as you want. Stay here and be who you want to be. Cherise will be happy and you will be safe. Your wardrobe is also included. You can work from here if you want or I have a spare room in the office. I have no secretary currently." He paused looking directly at Kenishia. "Of course, I will be happy too." "You want me here as Kenishia or Kenneth?" she asked after a long silence. "It doesn't matter. Your decision. With Kenishia I want to do things I can't do with Kenneth." They both knew the implications. "I know you will need to be Kenneth sometimes. But you decide who you want to be and when." "Why are you offering this?" "Well, it seems I can get an instant family. I like you guys around me. These last 48 hours have been full of action and life. I have also discovered things about me that I didn't know existed. Thanks to you. I want to explore more. No commitments need to be made and we will see where it will lead. It would be nice to have people around." "We owe you a lot. You gave us a nice home, safety and even gave me money. You hardly knew us. We will never forget that." She paused for a moment. "Can I think about this?" "Of course. Remember, tomorrow for the meeting in my office, you will be Kenneth." "Is that the only condition?" Kenishia asked with a small smile. "Well no, but as every good contract states, we can add to the contract as long as both parties agree. You can decide at your leisure." Kenishia smiled at Edward's legalese. "Ok sweetie, you need to brush your teeth and go to bed. You get two stories tonight." Kenishia interrupted the dialog. There was a lot to think about. It would give safety and security for Cherise and herself. She needed to be sure about her future. She didn't question his motives. He had helped well before things happened between them and he knew who she was. Cherise seemed to like him too. She stared at Edward not wanting to believe her luck. Kenishia had never considered how she would develop when she first started to dress. It gave her pleasure and the ability to retreat into a personality she felt very happy in. Edward had pierced that bubble of safety and she had gone beyond anything she had ever imagined. Most importantly, she felt safe and happy as Kenishia and Edward's acceptance of her. There was no reason for a deep analysis. She had enjoyed what she had done with Edward. Edward cleared up and went to his computer and needed to finish the draft. It wasn't going to be long or complicated. Letty would have full parental rights. Whether she exercised them would be a different question. He typed away. He knew Kenishia would be down when she was ready. "Can I get you a drink?" Kenishia announced behind him. "What would you like?" Edward turned around. Kenishia was down to a robe and barefoot. She had removed her makeup but was still very attractive. The robe was loosely tied at the waist and showed the swell of her breasts. He smiled at the vision. "Anything you are drinking," he replied. Kenishia swished away. The robe was short and came down a few inches below the crotch. She wasn't gone long and returned with a single glass. "I know I have to be Kenneth tomorrow but I thought you might like to spend some time with Kenishia tonight. She likes you a lot and is very thankful for all you have done for Cherise and her." Kenishia held out the single glass of whisky from yesterday's choice. She took a sip and handed him the glass. "Just to show you what I am drinking." Edward smiled. "Yes, I would like to spend more time with Kenishia. I am almost done. I was working on the contract. I want to make it simple." "Great. You don't know how much we appreciate this. Please finish. I'll try not to disturb you too much." Kenishia knelt down between his legs and moved to undo his belt, pulling his pants and boxers to his ankles. She looked up as him as she handled his growing member. "Kenishia just wanted to confirm that she agrees to the contract and terms." She took his penis into her mouth. "Do I need add this activity to our contract? Do I get regular access?" "As a lawyer I must advise you to always check contracts before you agree. Clause 1 of our oral contract calls for the tenant, who is you, to always do your best to keep your landlord, who is I, happy and satisfied at all times with all means at your disposal. The landlord must provide access on demand. Clause 2 says that the landlord has total access to all your orifices at any time and place of his choosing. You must keep them easily accessible. Clause 3 says the landlord must always attempt to fulfill the contract every time with a deposit. Hope that answers your question." Edward looked down and smiled. "As I said, either party can add terms if both agree" Kenishia looked up at him, eyes wide open, and said "I didn't know the meaning of oral contract till now. I am looking forward to your deposit." Kenishia could not reply further with a full mouth but her moans kept saying, "I accept."
