This little tale continues the 'Birthday Girl' trilogy, but this one concentrates on Dafydd and Louise.
Louise and Dafydd stood on the hotel porch together, watching as Mike and Lisa rode away. Dafydd sighed as the young couple disappeared from sight.
"What is it, Dafydd?" said Louise. "Are you concerned for Lisa? She'll be safe with Mike."
Dafydd made a face. "Most probably, yes, Louise, but I fear my baby girl will no longer be a girl when she returns."
"Yet you let her go," Louise said gently.
Dafydd's lips quirked in what was almost a smile. "She's older now than her mother was when I first made love to her. My little girl is a woman, and I must accept that." He laughed, short, wry. "At least I gave her some rubbers and told her to be careful."
Louise laughed, too, a happy gurgle. Dafydd glanced at her. She shook her head, smiling. "I gave Mike some, too. Told
him
to be careful."
"So we're both expecting my daughter to return as a woman?"
Louise sobered, nodding. "Yes, I think we are."
Dafydd frowned. "Louise," he said, his tone hesitant. "May I ask you a question?"
"Of course."
"Just what exactly is Mike to you?"
Louise looked at Dafydd for a moment. She hesitated, but she would not lie. "My friend's son, a good friend in his own right, and my occasional lover."
"Ah," said Dafydd. "I guessed it was so. And now?"
"Now?" said Louise. "Now an exciting man has come into my life, a man I'd like to know much better." She gazed straight at Dafydd, her eyes warm.
He smiled. "Intimately, perhaps?" he said softly.
Louise smiled, nodding. "Yes, Dafydd, my dear. Intimately."
"What about Mike?"
Louise looked at Dafydd, her lips quirked in amusement. "What about him? I think Lisa will be more on Mike's mind now than I will. He knows it was only a temporary thing between us, Dafydd, believe me. Lisa could ask for no one better than Mike. He is honest, hard-working and I would trust him with my life."
Dafydd smiled. "And your reputation?"
"That, too, but until you came there was no one around here whose opinion I care for, save Mike's family, and - in confidence, Dafydd?"
"My word on it."
"In confidence, it was Mike's mother who suggested I take him as a lover. That way, the itch I was feeling was soothed and Mike wasn't tempted by the whores at the saloon."
"A remarkable woman."
"She is, and she's raised a fine family."
Dafydd smiled. "Enough of Mike and Lisa. What about us?"
"What about us, Dafydd? You're dining with me tonight, you and Lisa, and Mike."
"Until then?"
Louise smiled and took Dafydd's hand between hers. "What would you like to do?"
Dafydd took a deep breath. "Make love to you." He held his breath.
Louise smiled. "I'd like that, too," she said softly.
"Here?"
She giggled. "On the porch?"
Dafydd laughed. "No, of course not. You know what I meant."
Louise shook her head. "No, Dafydd, not here. Hitch up the buggy and let's go for a drive, out to my place. I
know
the bed is comfortable there. And there'll be no interruptions," she added, laughing, as some townsfolk greeted the doctor in passing.
"You have a point," Dafydd said, smiling. "Come on, let's get the buggy."
Ten minutes later they were well out of town on the road to Louise's cabin. The weather was warm, the day was fine and Louise could feel a tingle of anticipation. She glanced across at Dafydd. He smiled. Louise sat back, content, just enjoying the journey.
When they arrived at the cabin, they turned the horses into Louise's corral. Louise smiled to herself. A freshly-mended corral, courtesy of Mike. She took Dafydd's hand and led him indoors, leading the way straight to her bedroom.
"I'll ask you once, while I still have my wits about me," said Dafydd. "Are you sure about this?"
Louise smiled. "I'm certain, as certain as I've ever been about anything." She paused. "Shall I undress for you, or do you want to undress me?"
"Which do
you
prefer?" Dafydd said, smiling back at her, feeling his prick hardening just at the thought of seeing her.
"Sit back and watch me, and when I'm finished, and I'm naked, I'll watch you."
Dafydd smiled, and sat back on the bed, his gaze warm on her. Fixing her eyes on his, Louise began loosening the buttons which ran all the way down the front of her dress, slowly, teasing him. She'd left the top button fastened and when she reached the bottom she straightened, looking into his eyes as she loosened the last button and slowly opened the dress, letting it slide back and down her arms, crashing soundlessly to the floor. Dafydd gasped, for all she wore under her dress were stockings, held up by silk garters tied above her knees. She bent to loosen a garter and Dafydd came out of his trance.
"No!" he said, his voice suddenly hoarse.
Louise smiled. "No?" Dafydd stared at her as she straightened, one hand on her hip, a stray beam of sunlight through the window casting her profiled shadow on the wall, the curves of the shadow echoing the reality that stood before him, beautiful, curved, full breasts, erect nipples and a triangle of curls at her mons. She smiled at him. "You like to look at me like this?" she said, her voice soft as a spring breeze.
