To start let me thank my editors from the volunteer editor program, brucru and kenjisato. They helped turn my musings into a story. Any errors in spelling, grammar, or otherwise are mine by virtue of not taking their excellent advice.
That said this is the first of an unknown number of chapters in an interracial and raceplay story. That means there will be racial slurs, yes including that one, in the text. Sometimes used by a character with malice in the proper context of the story as it establishes characters personalities and sometimes used in a sexual context between consenting individuals engaged in raceplay. Not every chapter will use those slurs the same way if at all. Just be forewarned from the start if you aren't comfortable with raceplay and its attendant use of language, this series may not be for you.
Chapter 1
Brian was sucking air into his lungs and his heart was pounding in his ears, as he turned the final corner toward home on his morning run. The scarcely risen sun was shining on his back as he looked at the rushing seconds on his watch and knew, with a little effort, this would be his best time in months. Sweat dripped out of walnut brown hair into sky blue eyes as he focused down the road and swore under his breath at the sight of a U-Haul moving truck parked just forward of his mailbox. With his feet pounding against the road, he made a slight adjustment to the angle of his approach to skim past the edge of the van and reach his invisible finish line.
As he approached the back side of the van, it was only instinct that caused him to sidestep and miss the person coming out of the back. The sudden change of direction at a full sprint threw off his balance. He attempted to compensate, but this only changed the direction of his instability. Two steps later, he sprawled forward onto his lawn, eventually skidding to a halt in the wet grass.
The urgent motion and high sing-song voice behind him brought his attention back to the moment. "Oh, shit, I am so sorry. Are you okay?"
Turning over in his yard, Brian found himself looking up at a young woman around his age quickly walking toward him. Her strong legs extended out of light khaki shorts while voluminous breasts bounced under a tight white tank-top with each hurried step. Umber skin stood in stark contrast to the light tones of her clothes. A red bandana was the sole splash of color holding back a mass of coal-black hair. Her steps froze as the sound of a screen door slammed wide open cracked through the early morning quiet.
"What the fuck did you do, you stupid bitch!"
He looked back over his shoulder. His wife was rushing across the yard with black yoga pants clinging to slender legs pumping frantically in her sprint toward her husband. Her high tight ponytail of fine honey blonde hair, tied up with a pink hair tie, bounced behind her head with every step. As she leaned over her husband, the pink athletic top stayed tight to her small breasts. Its bright color washed out her pale ash-wood complexion.
"I am fine Anna. Just a little misstep, no harm no foul." His voice flowed with a low deep relaxed tone.
As he pushed up from the ground, Brian was covered in grass and the front of his clothes clung to him from sweat and dew. He looked down at the women, who were both more than a head shorter than him and forced in a deep breath accompanied by a sweeping look trying to force calm into the space between them. Her head only reaching his shoulders the black woman had to tilt her head back to catch his eye and breathed deeply as well, making her breasts push out in a way that drew everyone's attention. Anna shifted her weight from side to side, picking up speed as she stared daggers at the massive tits and then up at her earthy brown eyes. She seemed to vibrate with energy to avoid her diminutive body getting lost in the shadow of her husband.
"Bullshit Brian. This bitch could have killed you" Anna spat. Her piercing blue eyes blazed with anger as she turned her attention to the other woman. Coming up to only the black woman's chin she rocked forward on her toes, "Watch what the fuΒΜΆ"
"Enough Anna. I am okay and it was an accident." His voice remained low but the mellow tones from before had gotten an edge that grabbed both women's attention again.
"Brian and Anna, was it?" She was holding up her hands in front of herself and paused for a moment to make sure she had their names right. "I am really sorry. I didn't expect anyone to be out so early. I am Nia and I was hoping to get moved in before meeting people under better circumstances." She extended one long-fingered hand trying to calm the situation, even as the other woman buzzed with aggressive energy.
Anna turned and shouted at their new neighbor. "Yeah, well maybe watch where you fling that nigg-". She suddenly slammed her mouth shut as her face drained of what little color it had at the realization of what she was about to say. Her hostile icy eyes melted into wide watery saucers fixed on Nia.
Whatever calm Nia had been trying to restore evaporated instantly in that moment. The black woman leaned forward using every inch of height to loom over Anna. While both women were clearly fit, Anna was slender compared to Nia athleticism. "Excuse me! Don't stop short girl. You had something to say so why don't you fucking finish." She took a half step toward Anna who backed up and almost tripped on her own feet.
"Don't... don't you try and... I was... Get off our property!" Anna stammered and stuttered, as she flinched in front of the other woman and tried to step partly behind Brian.
Grabbing Anna by the shoulder he held her in place while also holding out a hand toward Nia, almost grazing her breasts as they heaved in anger, to keep her from walking closer. "You owe Nia an apology. That was...," he paused trying to think of the right word to bring the tension down, "unkind."
Anna started to argue but a shoulder squeeze cut her off. Looking at the ground she mumbled, "Sorry. I should watch my language." Without waiting for any response, she turned and fled back into the house, ponytail swinging as her slender ass bounced in the yoga pants with every stride.
Watching his wife scamper back into their house and slam the door, all he could do was shake his head before looking back at Nia. With arms crossed beneath her breasts, dark eyes glaring under heavy brows and full lips twisted in a scowl, she finally shifted her gaze from the front door to him.
"I am sorry about Anna. That was completely unacceptable." He offered his hand while making eye contact. She hesitated for a moment but when she finally grabbed his hand, they both were surprised at how firmness the others' grip. She glanced down involuntarily realizing her hand had disappeared inside his.
Trying to reassert control she held her grip on his fingers and fixed his eyes, "You probably think like her too, but are just smart enough not to say it in front of people like me?"
"No, and neither does Anna. I don't know what that was but in the seven years we have been together I never heard her say anything like that."
She released his hand by pushing it toward him but was stymied in her effort when his muscles tensed from the wrist upward. While continuing to watch him, it was clear that he was hurt and embarrassed by his wife's behavior. Her shoulders rolled back and down, contending "My experience is that just because someone doesn't say it, doesn't mean they don't think it. A lot. Fact is, that the ones that have a slip like that are the ones thinking it the most."
Nia noticed the way color instantly rose in his cheeks and it made her take another look at the man in front of her. He wasn't stunningly handsome but not bad looking at all, and the blush deepened the citrine tone of his face which heightened the contrast to his bright-blue eyes. Without thinking, she let her eyes drift over his body. She already knew he had strong arms from their handshake and her failed attempt at shoving his hand. Above those arms he had sturdy shoulders which tapered to a not-to-narrow waist, which to her surprise, framed a decent bulge on display in the front of his wet gray running shorts.
Looking down at the ground Brian did not notice Nia checking him out before he spoke again. "Yeah, well, I can't speak about that not being... not being you, but maybe we can start over. Welcome to the neighborhood, Nia, I am Brian, and it is nice to meet you." He held out his hand again for her while he forced a smile that almost reached his eyes.
Without hesitation she recognized his honest attempt to start over, so she grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "Nice to meet you, Brian. Thanks for welcoming me and I'm sorry for almost killing you with my ass."
Not expecting the second part of her comment brought a choked-off cough from Brian and the blush returned to his face. Her eyes narrowed as she examined the man again. He seemed genuinely embarrassed, perhaps even more so than when his wife was showing her ass so to speak. Stroking a finger along the back of his hand had him jerking his hand back. Seeing him so squeamish, spread a smile across her lips and planted an idea in her mind.
"Brian, if it wouldn't be an imposition, could I get a hand later? I have some large furniture to move off the truck and just can't do it on my own. My sister helped me load the truck, but she is working today and can't help me unload." She leaned toward him to draw his eyes to her sizable cleavage trying to entice an answer.
Brian looked back toward the house and saw Anna back in their living room, watching. She was swaying like a pendulum in a clock, as the conversation continued, "I will see if I can get away later this morning but for the moment I need to get inside and see to Anna."
"Sure, Brian, I still have a lot of boxes to move and unpack. Just swing by when you can, if you can." With that she headed back to the truck and made a show of climbing into the back and thrusting her sizable ass out in the process.
