"We have to have sex, Jimmy, otherwise..."

Christmas Evening, 1931
Rather than fall down and look foolish, she waited for her eyes to adjust to the dim light still present in the room from the moonlight.
Bethany slid out of her slippers and sat on the edge of the bed. "Jimmy, I'm sorry that Lizbeth brought back sad memories."
He moved over on the bed to give her more room.
"No, Bethany, they weren't sad memories, they were good memories. I needed someone like her to remind me of that. I'm sorry I missed Christmas."
She put out her hand, seeking his.
"Jimmy, Mrs. Hunt told me what happened... everything. I'm so sorry, Jimmy. I'm sorry I can't change the past but I can change the future if you'll have me."
"Bethany Rose, almost from the first moment you came into this house I wanted you. But..."
"Yes, but... I'm colored."
"No, that isn't it. I didn't want you to think I offered you the opportunity just so I could sleep with you. I didn't want you to think I was the same as..."
"Almost every other man with the opportunity?"
"Yes. So many times, I dreamed of coming into your room and making love to you. I tried my best to hide my feelings for you. There was no way for me to know what you were thinking and, yes, the color issue was there but it was way in the back.
"I wanted you with me so much that I was unwilling to take a chance on losing you. I was caught between heaven and hell with you... and, then there's your sister."
"What did she do?"
"Nothing. That's it. She did nothing but every time I saw her she seemed to think that we were already sleeping together, that you already were my..."
"Whore? I think mistress is reserved for white women."
She slid sideways on the bed, lifted both legs onto it and lay next to him. Her hand held his even tighter.
"Jimmy..."
"Yes?" He rolled to his right side.
"My sister is a very proud person. She hates it when she's wrong. There's no living with her when she finds out she's wrong about something.
I love my sister very much, Jimmy, and I don't want her to be embarrassed."
"Huh?" His left hand had found her flat stomach and moved across her body, feeling and touching.
"We have to have sex, Jimmy, otherwise..."
"For your sister?"
"Yes, for my sister."
"And... for me."
He moved closer and kissed her open lips. He had waited to taste that sweetness too long. Her tongue hesitantly touched his. He could feel the warmth of her mouth as he sought to please her.
"Jimmy..."
"Mmmm?"
"You'll be the first, Jimmy."
"Bethany, are you?"
"Yes, I want you... I truly want you. I have thought about you every night ever since you trusted me with the store. You took a great chance with me. Your employees could have all quit. I could have made such mistakes..."
"Shhh... why do you want to discuss business on a night like this?"
His fingers traced the rise of her breasts, firm with youth and already showing her arousal.
"Jimmy, it might be better if we took our clothes off. At least, that's what I heard."
Her laughter was infectious and the tension that was in bed with them got up and left.
He turned on the night-lamp.
"For the first time, I want to see."
He sat up on the bed and used both hands to unbutton her dress, uncovering her breasts still confined. He lightly ran his fingers on the cloth, his hand trembling in anticipation.
And then, he stopped.
"What's the matter, Jimmy. Did I do something wrong?"
"No... it's been so long. I don't have any condoms."
"I'm OK, it was last week, thank God. I would want to feel you for the first time, anyway. Is that the last thing you're going to worry about, Jimmy?
"Make love to me. Give me a Christmas present for my life."
She rested back against his chest, leaning her head back on his shoulder, rubbing her cheek against his. He surrendered to his passion and began to touch her, his fingers running lazy circles around her stomach, lightly, carefully, easily feeling the softness of her dark skin. His hands met below her navel and interlocked, holding her tightly against him. He began to kiss her neck and as he heard her softly moan, his lips moved, moved, moved on her skin.
He found her magic spot just where her neck came under her jaw. He could feel her tense as he began to kiss harder, starting to suck her skin into his mouth, while his right hand caressed her nipple through the soft fabric of her bra.
She could only moan, everything she had imagined about making love faded away as the real event overwhelmed her. Anticipation was controlling her emotions now and she trembled the first time ever, touched by a man... and not some clumsy boy.
Her first orgasm rumbled through her body and she felt herself becoming first moist and then so wet. She would have been embarrassed... would have been but not now.
His fingers opened the back of her bra and she felt its pressure disappear and it fell onto her lap, laying there as silent witness to her decadence.
His hands cupped her breasts, heavy in his hands as he gently pulled them back against her body, his fingers lightly touching, her nipples expanding, tightening, rising. He held one between his thumb and finger and gently squeezed it and she almost jumped off the bed.
"uhhhhhhhhhh," she moaned, lost in the new feelings overwhelming her.
His kisses continued on her neck, bringing her higher. His left hand reached down to the waistline of her panties and moved to push them down. She felt him and lifted up and grabbed the garment herself and slid it down her legs and threw onto the floor.
His fingers sought out and found that patch of tightly curled hair above her pussy. He pressed his index finger against the hair and moved it back and forth, enjoying the feel of the curls. It was as he imagined it, springy under his palm as he moved two fingers onto her clit, bringing it to attention and begging for attention.
First one finger and then a second slipped inside, so easily, so wet, so inviting. He moved within her while she groaned and writhed back, pushing, pushing back and down, desperately trying to sink down onto him to drive him even deeper.
"Oh, Jimmmmmeeeeeee..." she moaned. Ohhhhh, God."
His thumb had been rubbing her clit just enough to keep her excited but not enough to purposely make her orgasm. That was something he wanted to do personally.
"Bethany..." he hardly could say her name, his mind moving five steps ahead what he wished for her to experience under his body.
"Lay down, lay down, Bethany." He moved as she moved, putting her head on his pillow. He gloried in the sight of her chocolate body, laid bare for him.
With his right hand cupping her left breast, he bent down and took her dark nipple into his mouth, rolling his tongue across the tip, bringing it even harder, even prouder as he scraped his teeth against it causing her to have another orgasm.
Her shaking body thrilled him. She was so easily excitable under his touch. Whether her sensuality was from the adventure of her first time with a man, or his hoped for skill as a lover or just her instinctive subconscious personality. James didn't care as long as she was satisfied with his loving of her.
