It all started with the recession. Out of nowhere the economy tanked, and my wife Suzie and I were both laid off in the span of a week. In a moment we'd give gone from living the high life on our dual incomes with no kids to relying on our meager savings to pay bills and the mortgage. We didn't panic for the first month, confident that we'd be able to find work somewhere, but recent changes to FDA guidelines had already weakened the market for pharmaceutical scientists like us, and the downturn in the economy was the last nail in the coffin. Then came a single glimmer of hope from an unlikely source.
Suzie had been casting a wider and wider net in her job applications with no luck when a banner ad caught her attention. It advertised payment of up to $3000 per week for "well-qualified" women. She was sure it would turn out to be porn or something skeezy, but Suzie was desperate enough to take a look. It turned out to be an advertisement seeking freelance wet nurses. Apparently there were enough rich moms in the San Francisco area who wanted their precious little tykes to get the best in nutrition but weren't willing to do it themselves to make a booming market for surrogates. At first Suzie shrugged it off as a curiosity, but after a day of fruitless job hunting, she brought it up as we were going to bed.
"Chris, have you ever heard of wet nursing?"
I'd been staring blankly up at the ceiling, waiting for sleep to come while stressing over the next month's bills, and it took me a moment to register the question.
"You mean, breastfeeding other people's kids? I think I remember hearing about that in some history class."
"Well apparently it's back," Suzie paused for a moment, "and apparently it pays..."
The implication took a moment to sink in.
"But you haven't had kids, can you even... You know..." I asked, gesturing at her tits.
"Make milk? For $3000 a week I sure as hell can!"
The next morning I woke up to find Suzie already at her laptop, furiously typing away and scribbling down notes. I went to make a pot of coffee and waited. I knew that when Suzie was researching it was best to leave her alone until she was ready to share. After a few minutes she sighed contentedly and closed her laptop. Taking my cue, I brought over two cups of coffee and waited for her explanation.
"I told you it could be done," she said, gesturing to her breasts, "and now I know exactly how to do it."
Suzie explained that lactation came down to two simple factors: hormones and demand. Hormones triggered the body to start producing milk, and are normally released by pregnancy. There are ways to simulate that with some herbal mixtures, but Suzie had remembered an experimental drug trial we'd worked on with an odd side effect: it had triggered lactation in rodent test subjects! It had never made it to human trials due to the strong side effect, but odds were it would have a similar effect on humans. And Suzie was sure she could talk some of her old co-workers into giving her some of the archived pills.
"But what about the other factor, demand?" I asked after Suzie finished her explanation.
"That's where you come in lover-boy," she said with a mischievous wink.
After another fruitless day of job hunting for me, Suzie came home with a proud grin on her face. In her hand was a bag full of white pills, each imprinted with the identifier PP-42H. I couldn't believe it. It had to be a felony, or at least a misdemeanor to release experimental medications like that, but somehow Suzie had talked her old co-workers into it. Suzie reached into the bag and pulled out a small handful with a mischievous smile.
"No idea what the dosage should be, but this should be enough to get me started I think!"
I could only imagine what she was getting us into as she tossed back the experimental pills with a glass of water.
"Now then, I've done my part, and it's time for you to do yours."
I gladly followed Suzie to the couch, where she sat and gestured for me to lay down with my head in her lap. As she removed her top and bra without ceremony I felt the same electric thrill I had first felt years ago when I'd first seen her beautiful breasts. They were all-natural D-cups and surprisingly perky given their size. Each prefect orb was adorned with a soft pink puffy areola with a small hard nub of slightly darker nipple in the center. I had always been a tit man, and Suzie's rack had been the first thing that had caught my eye when we'd first met. I had sucked on and played with her breasts countless times over the years, but this was somehow different. Sucking her delightful nipple into my mouth and flicking it with my tongue wasn't foreplay to further passion, it was now the entire point. And there was something about my position laying in her lap instead of climbing on top of her as usual that made me feel oddly submissive, yet also at peace, as if all the cares of lost jobs, mounting bills, and a relentless mortgage fell away as I lay in the lap of this strong, intelligent, beautiful woman and sucked.
