He softened and slipped out in the way of men the world over.
I pushed, gently, and he rolled off of me. Laying there, side by side, face to face, I kissed him again and then had him settle into the crook of my arm.
"Here, baby," I said, brushing my nipple against his lips. I loved watching him, well, okay, I love watching every man and not a few women, as his mouth opened and he took my nipple. There was that gentle pressure at first and then stronger as he latched on, taking more of my udder into his mouth, his tongue massaging the firm areola and nipple against the roof of his mouth, encouraging me to flow. I sighed with that pleasure only a woman can know as my nipple relaxed and my milk started flowing.
I hummed a little lullaby as he nursed.
I brushed a few stray hairs away from his face and whispered, "I love you, Benjamin."
He was suckling hard now, feeding, his eyes were closed, and I thought,
"There is nothing more beautiful than feeding another from your body."
I felt his hips starting to rock and reached down and patted him. "No, baby," I said very softly, "that's for later. Now drink your fill."
He settled and nursed.
I lay in that glow only a woman can understand and thought as he nursed. This Family, this Community is most certainly a Patriarchy. No one in the Family would argue with a decision Charles made. But all of the women knew that many of his decisions and positions were guided by his wife, Phyllis. Women, since Oog the caveman hit Oogla over the head and dragged her into his cave, have understood how to, well, "guide" her man is a good word.
That is what I intended for Benjamin. He was the Man of the House in our relationship, no matter how long it lasted. But as the Lady of the Manor, I figured I could be persuasive.
My reverie was broken when my nipple started hurting and my beast was empty. I used my finger in that way women have since we were still living in trees and broke his latch on my breast, adjusted our positions, and offered him the other nipple.
"Here, baby," I said.
He smiled up at me, a little of my milk dribbling out of his mouth, and said, "I'm full."
I smiled back.
"But I'm engorged, honey," I said, brushing his lips with my leaky nipple, "so help me."
His brow furrowed a little, I could almost see him thinking, Then he grinned, said, "Okay," and latched on.
But he really was full and after just a minute he opened his mouth and released me. So there I was with that unequal feeling, one udder drained and fallen, the other not quite engorged but still full. So I rolled out of bed and got the pump out of my overnight bag. No woman in The Community would ever be without her pump. Breast milk is one of the primary products, oh, hell, is
the
primary source of income for The Community and I wasn't about to let it go to waste.
He watched, fascinated, as I lubricated the cup with Vaseline to ensure a good latch and started the machine running with its soft little whoosh-click sound.
"Damn," he said in a soft exhalation.
"God, Benjamin, take a picture," I said, but I was giggling, "it lasts longer."
He kissed me then, a good kiss, and then said very softly, his lips right at my ear, his breath warm little puffs as he spoke, "I am so glad I chose you as my first."
I smiled up at him, feeling that contentment only a woman pumping can know, and said, "So am I."
He watched as I carefully sealed the plastic bag, put it into the refrigerator, and then cleaned the pump equipment and put it back into its case.
As I put everything up I felt him behind me, his hands coming around to meet at my belly button, his erection hard against my ass.
"You said something about a next lesson?" he said softly.
I captured his hands in mine, brought them up to my lips, kissed them, and leaned my head back.
"Who knew," I said softly, "that I would be the first for a rabbit."
He laughed softly and said, "Can't help it. You have me addicted."
I wiggled my ass a little against his obvious interest.
When he reached down and aimed between my cheeks I giggled and turned around to face him.
"Patience and control is the name of the game, today," I said.
I led him back to bed and had him lay back.
"Patience first," I said, kissing my way up his body and then laying next to him, kissing him, a soft lingering kiss.
When he started to push my shoulder, wanting me on my back I caught his hand and used my weight to push back until I had his hand up beside his head.
"Patience," I said, covering his face with kisses.
When he started kissing back I kept my hold on his hand but moved it down to my hip where I released it.
