Author's Notes: M and M Coltsfoot is a work of fiction. The characters and plot represent no known people or actions. The geographical locations in Texas and elsewhere are quite real, however, and described as best as the author can make such description. The same is true of the several universities mentioned in the story. This will be a rather lengthy and multifaceted story. I intend to post a chapter approximately every week. After much consideration, rejecting both Loving Wives and Interracial as possible categories, I have decided to post this in the Novels and Novellas section. The story will also contain elements of First Time sexual experiences and Transgender situations. All characters engaging in adult, sexual, situations throughout the entirety of the story are at least eighteen years of age or older.
This second post, Chapters One and Two, focuses on the senior year in high school of Sue Beth and Rayne Allen, their senior prom, and giving each other their love and virginity.

CHAPTER ONE
"Good morning Sue Beth Poteet, I didn't expect you to be here at this hour on Saturday morning."
Sue Beth gave Marlena Coltsfoot a big smile and a kiss on the cheek. "I just decided to stop by ma'am."
"I hope you and Rayne Allen don't have plans for a hot date this early; I really do have a couple of important chores that young man needs to do for me today."
"Oh no, Miss Marlena, I just wanted to be close to him for a little bit. I need to check up on him for the prom. My momma asked me to do some things today too."
"That's right girl, your senior prom is coming up soon. You best keep an eye out for him or he will be at your doorstep in starched blue jeans and think that a crease is formal wear for sure."
"Rayne Allen, have you given any thought at all to what you are wearing to your senior prom? Have you asked this sweet young girl what color dress she will be wearing?"
"No ma'am, but I heard you about the blue jeans; I know better than that."
"Well I'll be goodness. My young son may have found the common sense jar after all. The question, honey, is rent or buy. You are old enough, and I don't really think you will have a late growth spurt, do you?"
Rayne Allen laughed at the thought, "No ma'am, I just don't think I am ever going to be six feet tall."
"Next Saturday we will go to that nice men's store over in Midland and buy your first tuxedo. A black tuxedo, Rayne Allen, I am not having my son go to his senior prom with a pretty young woman like Sue Beth on his arm and looking like the squeeze box player in a conjunto band."
Sue Beth kissed Miss Marlena on the cheek and whispered thank you.
"Do you want to come along and help him, Sue Beth? I'll let Rayne Allen drive; us girls can sit in the back seat and be chauffeured."
"That will be just fine, Miss Marlena. Next Saturday will be perfect."
"What are you two younguns doing tonight?"
"We don't really have plans, do we Rayne Allen? Maybe go to a movie."
"If I can talk the Buffalo into taking me to the Stomp, we could chaperone you two for a night of line dancing."
Miss Marlena accepted kisses on each cheek from the teenagers for her offer. "Don't go trying to hide a flask or pick up anyone else's drink; I don't want Mary Beth smelling anything she shouldn't on Sue Beth's breathe tonight."
The young couple actually had a very good time at the western dance club with parents along as overseers. Sue Beth wore a denim skirt, western shirt blouse, and leather vest; Rayne Allen wore jeans, of course, but nearly matched his date in other respects. They were on the dance floor for two hours straight working up a sweat and having fun. Marlena and the Buffalo danced about half the sets, and watched and visited with friends the rest of the evening. Shortly after eleven, Rayne Allen announced he should take Sue Beth home. Buffalo Coltsfoot cautioned his son that he didn't want to hear about flat tires and running out of gas in the morning, but his caution softened with a wink and grin.
Rayne Allen's F-150 performed according to the Buffalo's expectation. That it did so did not preclude a deliberate diversion to a trip directly home. He and Sue Beth decided the county road route home would better suit their intentions this night. One benefit, the county road had less traffic, almost none; it was also dark, lit only by moonlight and infrequent ranch security lights. Sue Beth sat as close to her boyfriend as possible; the light from oncoming traffic illuminated a front seat with one body having two heads. The plus for turning off the highway was the picnic table pull-off about a mile and a half down the county road.
It is impossible to count the stars in the sky over West Texas where no light from nearby towns intrudes. Sue Beth and Rayne Allen sat on the picnic table with feet on the bench board seat and looked up. Holding hands, they saw the Milky Way as city dwellers never could. In their future, they would remember nights like this fondly. Tonight they held hands and took in beauty from the sky above. Shortly, their eyes dropped to look at each other; their hands parted so each could use both touching. Western shirts conveniently snap, and easily unsnap. Soon two shirts were open on the picnic table; Sue Beth reached behind to unhook bra and free her breasts. Both kissed and touched everywhere, from waist up. Both were breathing hard before Sue Beth called a halt.
"Let's go to the lake tomorrow evening."
Sue Beth and Rayne Allen began a slow process of dressing. They had learned how to check their passion when necessary. They only made love at the lake, at their special little spot surrounded by wind-blown scrub oak. Tomorrow would be their third time. Sue Beth allowed her boyfriend the privilege of hooking her bra and snapping her shirt. She tucked herself into her jeans. Checking her makeup could wait until they were back in the truck and on the way home. Rayne Allen handed Sue Beth off to her mother at the door after a last kiss goodnight; he was home and waiting when Miss Marlena and the Buffalo arrived.
Sue Beth packed a cooler and picked up Rayne Allen driving her new Mustang. They walked along the lakeshore with heads leaning on shoulders. A flock of geese, late heading north for the summer, circled to land on the water for a night of food and rest in their journey.
Sue Beth talked of their fun dancing last night. Rayne Allen talked about college, and the struggle he had with his father about what school and what to study. "I don't want to go to A&M or the University and study either Geology or Petroleum Engineering. Those are Daddy's two choices."
"You're not afraid of the big schools, are you Raynie?"
"No, but I am not ready to leave West Texas, and I darned sure don't want to go to Tech in Lubbock."
