Storyteller's notes: This story is based on actual facts, just altered and embellished in hopes of making it enjoyable for those desiring a sex story. I will let you determine or guess as where and how much. As has often been said by other writers, stories tend to take on a life of their own with no regard to the original wishes or plans of the writer, so we shall see where this goes. I know I am not good at writing descriptive sex scenes but shall try this once. I was not sure what category this should fall into, thinking Loving Wives, as it is about my often-misguided love for my wife throughout our married life. However, upon further consideration, I have decided to post it in the Novels and Novellas Section as it a story, long and wordy it may be. Readers have commented on my Romance Stories that they need more description of things, and more conversation between the people in the story. This one should have plenty of both, and I hope it satisfies all you readers. The names of the guilty parties (like me) have been changed for obvious reasons. I do hope you enjoy this offering. Please vote and comment. I have broad shoulders, but tender skin. Ugly, anonymous comments are discarded unread.
I will post both parts of this at the same time and hopefully Lit will publish them just a day apart.
***********************
I was born way out in the country on a farm/ranch way back when. Way out in this case meant 16 miles to the closest loaf of bread or gallon of store bought milk. Heck, the county seat of our county where I went to school was only listed at having 1082 residents but I think they lied as I do not believe there was that many that actually lived in that town. It has no real bearing on this story but that area was the border area along the Kansas and Oklahoma borders. Yes, I grew up a real live cowboy, knowing a heck of a lot more about horses and cows that I knew about girls. A lot more.
When I was a young boy we did not have TV until I was in the fifth grade. When we got one it often snowy, as the closest station back then was in Tulsa and we were too far away for a decent signal to get to us, so we listened to such AM radio stations as KVOO out of Tulsa, Oklahoma, KRMG from Coffeeville, Kansas, The Grand Ole Opry on Saturday nights from WSN in Nashville, Tennessee, and once I became a teen I was often able to receive WLS from Chicago at night and they played rock and roll. FM radio was not even available at that time. Looking back, it wasn't much of a life but that was all we had and all we knew.
It used to amaze me whenever we went to Oklahoma City for any reason as it was so far away (150 miles) and it was so big and spread out. While I was in high school, I heard some of the town kids talking about the wild lifestyle those big city people practiced but I did not know if it was true or not. It was a different time back then and we were very rural and I guess either sheltered or just ignorant about life. Honestly, I never even heard of a blowjob until I was 21 and in the army stationed at 5th Army Headquarters in Chicago prior to going to Vietnam on the first of my two tours in early 1965, the early part of the war.
As I mentioned, I was 21 then and had been married for about a year and a half when I deployed and we had a 2-month-old baby girl that was the most beautiful baby ever. She took after her mother in that department, thank goodness. It killed me to have to leave my two girls but between my wife and mother I knew everything would go all right while I was gone.
I was only minorly injured during my first tour and was awarded a purple heart and a bronze star, neither of which I talk about as they were giving them to junior officers who cut themselves on a C-ration can or caught the clap in a whorehouse. I am not sure, but I heard it rumored that you could often find them in Cracker Jacks boxes but I am not sure as we never got to a PX to get any Cracker Jacks. Because of what I did, I was constantly attached to one combat outfit or another and all over the II Corps area, often called the Central Highlands, but this is for information only and not a real part of the story. When I came home, I took some training and changed my job to one in communications. I then taught infantry communications at Fort Benning, Georgia until I came down on a by name reassignment levy to Headquarters US Army, Vietnam and into a communications job that required the same security clearance as the President, the US Ambassador to Vietnam, and all the commanding generals on both sides of the ocean. This job also covered the 7th Air Force. The details and what I might have exposed to was so secret that even today I am not at liberty to discuss it as some information still has not been declassified.
As my time to ETS (elapsed term of service) came about, I turned down a plum of an assignment they offered me to stay in, knowing that another 6 years in would pretty well assure them I would stay for a career. Because of my Military Job Specialty and high security clearance I was offered the job of heading an army detachment in Florida whose sole purpose was to spy on Fidel Castro and the Cuban Military. I was assured of a minimum of 3 years there and all I had to do was sign on the indicated line. I talked it over with my wife and we agreed to turn it down and return to Oklahoma and restart our life together and raise our growing family (we had a second daughter while I as teaching at Fort Benning).
Dad had sold the ranch before I graduated from high school due to several bad years of drought, disease, and high fuel and feed prices and went into the construction business, so I did not have the ranch to go back to, as much as I would have liked to do. I took advantage of the offer from the Oklahoma Employment Service's Veteran's Rehabilitation Training and became a certified pipe welder and joined the welder's union and worked on and in several of the refineries and power houses in Northern Oklahoma.
