This is part 2 of the Relo. To understand what is going on please read Part 1.
********************************************************************************************************
There were two months before they had to make the big move. Bill had to close down his business. He contacted clients, made referrals to friends and colleagues to replace him, did what jobs he could complete and in general wound things down. It was a bitter sweet process for Bill. His life was about to change. But it was sort of exciting too, and not just because of the life style change in his and Meg's relationship. How many people his age got a chance to re-invent themselves he wondered. Then there was the legal part.
The first part of the legal process was a power of attorney. Bill found a form online and downloaded it. He filled in all his information, and Meg's too. The check list that was included gave him pause when he first read it. It said that after he signed it, the power of attorney would give Meg full power to do things on his behalf. This included signing binding contracts, buying and selling real estate, signing checks, collecting debts, in short everything he could do himself. Bill sat for a few minutes, thinking. Was this really what he wanted? It was funny, but giving over financial power had not been the kind of thing that had most excited him in his fantasies.
Truth be told, it wasn't even in his top five. However, it seemed to have excited Meg almost as much as the teasing. Bill suddenly felt like he stumbled onto a truth. It was one thing to want to please Meg and have her in charge on his own terms, in the way he wanted and had dreamed of. But, if he truly wanted to please her, it was important to find out what moved and excited her. There was one thing he was absolutely certain of and that was he truly wanted her to want this. After all, he loved her. Besides, it really wasn't catering to her unless she wanted it. Bill recalled their conversation at that dinner a while ago and how eagerly Meg had responded when he asked whether she wanted what was basically full financial control. He remembered how her eyes had shone and the eagerness in her voice.
Now thinking of this, Bill muttered to himself, "what the hell, in for a penny, in for a pound". Bill smiled and filled out the durable power of attorney. The next day, Bill went to a notary and signed it in her presence.
At dinner that night, Meg found some folded pieces of paper next to her plate at the head of the table.
"What's this?" She asked as Bill sat down.
Bill smiled nervously. "Look at it, Margaret." He said.
Meg unfolded the copy of the power of attorney and a smile blossomed across her face, at that moment Bill knew he had done the right thing. Meg nodded. "We'll need a few copies. You'll have to bring a copy to the bank."
Bill nodded and sat down. Meg caught his eye and smiled. "Thank you" she whispered. Bill, felt great.
The next part was a little more difficult. He found an appropriate lawyer, a woman, Doris K. Filcher, esq. not far from their home to draft the necessary papers. She was a solid woman in a small, solid office, her rather wide shoulders draped in a solid tweed suit jacket. When they went in to sign the papers it was almost anti-climatic. The lawyer looked at them over her reading glasses from Meg to Bill.
"Post nuptial agreements are rather unusual" she began. "especially in a circumstance like yours."
"What do you mean? Meg asked curiously.
The lawyer pushed her glasses back up and regarded the papers in her hands.
"Usually you see these in a case where...well there is more, err acrimony between the parties and where frankly there are more assets involved." She peered back at the two of them.
"Well" Bill ventured with a smile "we are an unusual couple!"
Doris K. Filcher, Esq. stared humorlessly at him for a moment. "Indeed." She said. Bill felt himself wilting.
She looked from one to the other of them. "You realize that as soon as you execute these papers you will have completely separated your financial affairs, and that this agreement is binding."
"I do". Meg said with just a hint of excitement in her voice.
"I do." Bill echoed a second later.
Doris K. Filcher, Esq. nodded her greying head.
"You further realize that you are agreeing to have no interest in the other party's property and no encumbrance by their debt.
The lawyer's head swiveled to Bill and she fixed him with a steady stare.
"Yes" Bill managed.
"Financially," Doris added "you will essentially be strangers."
"Yes" Bill swallowed caught in the glare of that stare.
"Yes" Meg smiled.
"Very well" Doris K. Filcher, Esq. said. She turned the papers to them. "Sign where the yellow stickers are."
It took moments for Meg and Bill to sign. The lawyer notarized their signatures.
"Well, that's it then." The lawyer stood and shook Meg then Bill's hands. "I'll keep a copy for my files. She handed Meg an envelope. This is for your records. Two copies" She added meaningfully.
They took the elevator to the lobby.
Meg turned to Bill, "We just took a big step toward your fantasy. Well, how do you feel?"
"A little scared" Bill said. "But excited. How about you."
Meg smiled widely "The same she said. It's new territory for both of us." She cocked an eyebrow at
Bill. "Buy you an ice cream cone?"
Bill nodded. "Sure." They held hands as they left the building.
That night, after he loaded the dishwasher Bill applied for ten credit cards.
He then went upstairs where Meg reclined on the bed in a long satin nightgown. She smiled at Bill entered the room.
'Hello sailor! New in town?" She raised a playful eyebrow.
Bill sat on the bed next to her. "Well" he said "starting to feel like a new man, anyway."
Meg sat up and reached over and silently undid his belt. "Well, why don't you come on in to my place and make yourself comfortable."
He helped her pull his pants and briefs off. Bill pulled off his shirt. Meg reached over to her nightstand she had placed a small bottle of lube as Bill climbed onto the bed. She put some in her hand and took his penis.
"OHHH" Bill reclined back on his pillows as she began to stroke him.
"So, soon it really will be my place." She massaged his balls with one hand and stroked his rock hard cock with the other. Meg sitting up, looked down at him. "How does that make you feel?"
"WHeww..." Bill exhaled long and drawn out. Then he said "I still feel a little scared, but excited."
Meg nodded, running her thumb along the bottom of his cock. "So what do you want? What of your fantasies do you want to be real?"
"I...I want to be yours."
Meg nodded, then moved her hands away.
