Synopsis of This Story Up to This Point
: After a motorcycle road trip laced with grief, love, incest, and sex (read the Road Trip series), Jim, girlfriend country singer Crystal Lee and her sister Ellen, a love interest named Claire, and a nymphomaniac housekeeper Nadia lived together. Jim gets into country music, does his first movie (enjoying several orgies with his leading lady), and becomes a hero several times to great media acclaim. The press discovered that Jim fathered a child in Ohio during his road trip, but with sexy Edie's help, Crystal and Jim manage the news so their reputations remain intact. Billy, their band leader, and Dan, their publicist, joined the group more often. Claire finally revealed her mysterious past, admitting to doing porn films and being an escort girl. Crystal and Jim get Grammys for their great music. During a concert in London, Jim receives a blackmail note. He hires a private detective to help search for the culprit, and hence meets Margo. On a flight to London, Jim and Margo joined the Mile High Club, and later confront some suspects and resolve the blackmail threat to Jim. After leaving Margo and Caroline -- one of the suspects, Jim continues his European tour. In Berlin, CIA agents asked Jim to do a special task in Moscow and bring back secret data to the west. He succeeds and receives highly sex-filled thanks from the female CIA agent. After Moscow, the entourage move to Dublin, where Jim discovers a bomb in the concert stadium, and at great personal risk saves the day by carrying the bomb to a place to limit damage. His 'Mellon Girls' reward him appropriately. Back in Nashville, Jim and the gang listen to one of Nadia's sexy stories, and then he heads to Ohio to be at the birth of his second child.
Crystal Clear -- Ch. 20
Make me pregnant, Claire's porn, and a decision
Edie said in a slow, soft, measured tone, "Well, I'm not even ready, but I have so dreamed about this recently. I'd like you to make me pregnant. I want your baby."
I was speechless -- impressed and nonplussed. Finally, I babbled out the first thing that came to my mind. "Errr, that's a big decision, and you're young and single, and pretty, and available, and there are so many people you could partner with ... and what do you mean you're not even ready?"
Edie kissed me. "Relax. I'm still on the pill, silly. Plus, I've thought about all my options plus talked with George and Summer. Besides, the two of them, you are the person I love the most in the whole world by a country mile."
I said, "Don't you think you're being influenced by hanging around Summer, and the thrill of the past few hours of the birth -- the start of something so wonderfully new."
"Oh, yes, I know I am. All this has helped me focus my thinking, and don't forget I've been a constant visitor here at their home the past nine months. I've seen both sides of this journey."
There was something I wasn't getting, some fine point or a connection I hadn't made. In the awkward silence that followed, she leaned up and kissed me softly on the lips, the kind of kiss that contains unfettered feminine sexuality. She paused and could probably sense the wheels turning in my brain. She said, "Don't say 'No', please. Just think about it. Now, come to bed and make love to me."
Edie and I spent almost two hours making love and playing sexually with each other. Somehow, I had forgotten how passionate Edie could be, and how explosive her orgasms were -- rocking the house off its foundations. Edie had many of them thanks to my dedicated efforts; I also enjoyed several. At one point, I shut the window in our bedroom lest the neighbors think someone was being murdered in the room.
When we declared success in that evening's part of our sexual journey, I cuddled Edie to my chest. We were still wide-awake, but aglow in each other's love. We were also sticky in the nicest of ways and with best of fluids. I could feel her breasts against my side, her nipples still aroused and giving me similar feelings just because I felt them rubbing against me. One of her fingers made sensuous circles through the small amount of hair I had on my chest. Periodically, one of us would feel the urge to kiss the other, but other than that we were silent and happy.
I thought of Edie's request and worried she had significantly underestimated the work and dedication a child requires for the rest of her life -- probably every body that had ever had children did. If I fathered a child with her, what would that mean for me -- or the two of us? I had no problem with being close and loving Edie the rest of my life.
I finally spoke trying to be careful with my words so they didn't hurt Edie; "Are you sure you've considered how much work a baby would be? Summer told me she barely had time for George and Little Jim, and now she has Little Crystal."
Edie cheerfully said, "Oh, we've talked, and we'll share the responsibilities for each other's children. Little Jim is already used to me. I'm his second mama."
"Huh? What do you mean 'share'?"
