It had been almost a year since Emile and I went on our life-changing Cruise to Alaska and met Tom. Emile is back to being her friendly, positive self and is doing reasonably well in college. Her grades should be better but after Tom finished with her, she decided to like men. They take a lot of time away from her studies but it is wonderful for me to see her smiling and happy again.
Tom and I talk at least every couple of weeks on the telephone. He is as naughty as ever. At least half of our calls turn into phone sex with me cuming on my fingers lost in some shared fantasy. Tom guessed from our first meeting that, until I ran into him, I had suppressed my active sexual imagination and that I have a submissive side. He even knows, I have a very vivid being forced fantasy. You know rape but not really rape.
During our last few calls, Tom has picked up that something is bothering me. He keeps asking me to tell him.
I have often thought about our time on the ship, his rugged looks, green eyes, brown hair and how he so easily satisfied me. He is my closest friend. OK, I'll risk it. I'll call him and tell him what is wrong. Maybe he will agree to my plan.
"Hello, my sexy, beautiful, California girl. Lie to me. Tell me you couldn't stand another minute without hearing from me. That's why you called isn't it? You are naked, lying on the bed in a darkened room, aren't you?"
I briefly wondered what would have happened if someone else was calling him from my phone. "Well I was thinking about you and wanted to hear your friendly voice."
My answer wasn't playful like his greeting, "Something has been on your mind for weeks. When are you going to tell me what's bothering you?"
I just blurted it out, "My biological clock is ticking and I've always wanted another child. My husband didn't want any more children after Emile. It was always a big problem between us. I've checked out "in vitro" but that's expensive and has lots of issues. It's not a good option for me. I'm thirty-eight and I want you to make me pregnant."
There was a long silence on the phone so I continued, "I don't want you to be financially responsible, marry me, give up your freedom or anything like that. Just be my friend and lover, like on the cruise. Make love to me again and this time leave a baby in me."
"Linda, that is the most wonderful thing anyone has ever asked me. I would love to make you pregnant. I do have some conditions."
This wonderful man just agreed. I never thought he would. I finally had worked up the nerve to ask but was sure he would reject the thought and never talk to me again. He didn't run away. Slow down, O Shit, he said conditions, "What are your conditions?"
"I want to be involved. Starting your fourth month, we have to live together for ten months. I want to watch our baby grow, feel him kick and make love to your pregnant body. I want to be there when he is born. You explain me anyway you want as the baby grows up. I can be an Uncle, friend, I don't care but I want to be close and involved. Linda, I will insist on helping financially."
"Tom, I'm blown away by your reaction. I expected you to say, no."
"Baby, my family is dispersed now, I'm only close to my youngest son; he's about your age. I worked such long hours when my children were born and growing up, I missed everything. You are offering me a chance to address a personal sadness that would crush me, if I let it. I'm not trying to possess you. Don't think that. After the baby is born you can get your life back in any order you want. If you find your "Mister Right", I'll be the first to be happy for you and wish you the best."
Where was this guy when I was twenty and how come he is not twenty years younger? Again, Tom is right, God does have a weird sense of humor. "Tom, you have made me the happiest woman in the world. Since the cruise, I have often wanted to ask you to visit me and make love with me. How and when do me make this happen?"
"You tell me. Pick the start of your most fertile time. Give me a few days notice and I'll be so excited that I'll probably show up early. We'll go away from phones, children, friends, interruptions and civilization. There will just be the two of us when we leave and there will be three of us when we return."
I was crying now. Tom knew I needed some time. "Linda, you are wonderful. Relax and go dream of our baby. Call me tomorrow night. We'll work out all the details."
As soon as Tom hung up the telephone, he knew he had probably promised more than he could deliver but he wanted to give Linda a baby. Months ago he had a sperm count done and his count was low and his little wigglies were slow. However, that was just a small problem, he knew Linda's fantasies. Tom would have his secretary working overtime for a week. Tom had to personally talk to a very special person and ask for some help.
Two weeks to the day, April 15, six a.m., Linda opened her door and Tom swept her into his arms and kissed her twice to say "Hello" and once passionately to say, "I'm going to fuck you senseless."
"Three days from now, lovely lady you will be very pregnant. But right now we have to go to IHOP for pancakes, I need the energy, and then we'll be off."
I couldn't stand this. "Where are we going? You wouldn't even let me pack any clothes. I'm not ready."
