In Part I, I relate my acquaintance with Jane, her husband Gerald, and her step-daughter Natalie. Part II occurs the day after my interlude with Jane.
A Natalie Afternoon
The following afternoon, Tuesday, was beautiful and promised a fun day of sailing and snorkeling on the reefs off Anguilla, an island to the north separated from St. Martin by several miles of water. Natalie had assured me she had lots of babysitting experience, and our nanny could arrive soon after a phone call. But the baby had other ideas.
"I'm afraid Mireille is being very fussy today. I don't think it's a good idea to leave her alone with Natalie," I said when the three visitors arrived at the marina. "You go without me."
Natalie looked extremely disappointed. "Oh, no! I was really looking forward to staying with her. She is so cute."
"She's usually very easy, but when she's cross 'cute' is not the word I'd use."
Natalie looked at Gerald and Jane, then asked, "How 'bout if I stay here with you and Mireille? I can go swimming or to the beach any time."
"It would be OK with me, but probably a bit dull with just us two for company. Are you sure you want to?" Natalie nodded. "What do you think Gerald?"
Gerald said, "Natalie is really into babies these days. It's fine with me. Jane?"
Jane gave me a sly look before answering, "I'm sure Natalie can learn lots about babies from Sonia. We ought to be back by five, but we'll call if it's going to be later."
Sylvie arrived at that moment to learn of the new arrangements. She went into the cabin to change, motioning me to join her. "Are you going to seduce the kid as well as the mother?"
"Of course not. She's still a virgin as far as I know, and a bit young for me anyway. I prefer riper fruit," I said as I passed my hand around Sylvie's now-bare breast.
"Behave yourself if you like, but she's a really pretty girl, and in your shoes I'd make the best of it. If we're very late getting back, it's because Gerald will have had a very nice time."
"Sylvie! You haven't been on the pill. For god's sake make him wear a rubber!"
"If all of his children would be as beautiful as Natalie, I'd take my chances." She opened her beach sack to show me a package of condoms. "In any case, don't worry. I'm willing to wait a bit for my turn at motherhood."
We returned to the salon to find Natalie cuddling Mireille and Gerald and Jane making baby noises. Mireille enjoyed the attention, and for the moment was smiling while attempting to force as much as possible of her hand into her mouth. After some short chit-chat, the three left, leaving Natalie and Mireille with me.
"Thanks for letting me stay. I really was looking forward to spending the afternoon with Mireille. And now with you here it will be even better."
"I'm glad you're here too. Mireille needs her lunch now. Do you want to feed her?"
"I thought you were breast-feeding. You were last night at the restaurant."
"As much as possible, but I do have some bottles in the fridge that I've pumped. I've warmed one up."
"Can I watch you nurse her? I've never seen anyone do it up close."
Sitting down, I undid my blouse, and unsnapped the flap of my nursing bra, and brought Mireille to my nipple. She quickly latched on and began to suck.
"Does that feel good, or does she hurt your nipple?"
"She doesn't really suck the nipple so much as around it, like a little pump. It's very pleasant actually."
"I want to experience that some day. I love children."
"If you like, you can put her on your breast once she's done with mine. She'll be cranky once no milk comes out, but for a minute or two it will be OK."
"That will be so cool." Natalie removed her blouse, and being bra-less it was evident by her hard light pink nipples that she was excited by the prospect.
When I was empty, I told Natalie to lean back on the settee, with the cushion under her head, and to let Mireille lie on her stomach while trying to suck. When they were well positioned, Mireille greedily latched on to Natalie's breast, which was round and nicely tanned. In the meantime I got the warm bottle ready.
"This feels so neat. It's like she's clamped all around. I can feel her gums working." It was only a few moments before Mireille loosened her hold on the empty teat and started to cry. I gave Natalie the bottle, and Mireille quieted as she went to work on it. The two of them looked very sweet together, with Natalie's blonde hair cascading over Mireille's black curls.
"Can I tell you something personal, Sonia?" Natalie asked after a moment.
"If you like."
"Jane told me what you and she did yesterday."
"Really?"
"I wasn't shocked or anything. We're very close. She tells me lots of things."
"Such as?"
"Sometimes I read your emails, and hers too. She's in love with you I think."
"That's not really love, Natalie. It's just sex. She loves your father."
"I know that too. She tells him everything too. Last night they made love a long time. Thinking about you must have made them crazy.'
"Did you watch them?"
"No. But they made a lot of noise, and the condo isn't very big. It's only one bedroom and I'm sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room." She paused. "I did watch them one time, last year. They didn't see me. It made me so hot I masturbated in my bedroom a long time afterwards."
