without whom my stories would be nothing more than a cluster of words.)
Even before I opened my eyes, I knew that most of the morning had already slipped away. The sun that should have been shining through the trellised window was gone and the room was filled with lingering shadows. Images of what had happened earlier danced through my head, as if in a dream. Then, bit-by-bit, reality took hold of me and I could feel Ree's soft, warm body against mine while the vague aroma of sex filled the room.
"Hey," she whispered.
"Hey, yourself," I replied as I rolled over to look at her. "How long have you been awake?"
"I don't think I actually fell asleep," she laughed, lightly. "It was more like passed out. One second I was awake cuddling with you and the next it was," she stopped as she lifted herself up on one elbow to look at the clock next to the bed, "about 20 minutes ago."
"So why didn't you wake me up?"
"Cuz you look so sweet while you're sleeping. Besides, I didn't want to disturb you."
I didn't say anything but the quizzical look on my face must have told her I had no idea what she was talking about.
"At one point, you actually pursed your lips like you were sucking on something."
"Oh, that. I was having a dream about what we did and about your ... ummmm ... breasts."
She giggled, "After what we've been doing I don't think you need to be so formal. They're tits ... plain, old-fashioned tits."
"First of all, I don't think there's anything plain about them," I replied as I glanced down at the barely covered set of orbs. "And second, there's NOTHING old or old-fashioned about you or them."
"Flatterer," she said, light-heartedly.
"But, yeah, I was dreaming about your tits and ... ummm."
"You mean because I have mother's milk?"
"Yeah. I didn't think women had milk in their breas ... I mean, tits until they had a baby."
"Usually they don't. But I'm a bit different. Years ago, I had a lot of pain during that time of the month. The cramping was so bad I'd end up staying in bed for days. Then a friend of mine told me about a herbalist who had helped her with a similar problem. I figured 'What the heck?' and went to see the guy. He started by having me take Black Cohosh which decreased the cramps and later on had me start using Fennel extract. The Fennel increases estrogen which helps decrease the cramps too, but in my case, it also caused me to start to produce milk."
"Wow. I've never heard of that."
"I'm not surprised. There are a lot of things that modern medicine doesn't know about herbal medicine. A lot of doctors think it's all fake but it wasn't always that way. Before the 1920' and 30's everybody knew which herbs to use for what problem. If not, they went to see 'granny so-and-so' who did. Then, during the depression a lot of medical schools were about to go bankrupt and close. The drug companies, on the other hand, were just starting to release 'miracle cures' like penicillin and sulfa. So, the two of them made a deal. If the schools pushed their drugs, the companies would donate money to keep the schools open and 'ta-da' present day medicine was born."
"Wow! That sucks."
"Yeah, but there's not much anyone can do about it anymore although there is quite a bit of research being done about medicinal herbs so it might change at some time in the future."
I nodded my head as she took a breath and continued.
"Anyway, mind if I ask you a question?"
"Go for it."
"When you were done dreaming about these," she emphasized what she was talking about by bouncing her breasts up and down, "you started mumbling and twitching all over the place. It was like you were in some kind of fight."
"I guess I was," I admitted, reluctantly. "I ... ummmmm ... I don't think I can do the Dom/sub thing."
"Why?"
"It's just not me. I mean, I loved what we just did but I felt like part of me had snapped. Do you know what I mean?"
"Yeah, I do. Not everyone can live that kind of lifestyle. But I hope you won't mind role-playing once in awhile."
"You mean you still want me to be ...?"
"My partner, my lover, and the father of my baby or maybe babies? Absolutely!"
"Why? I thought ..."
"You thought that sex was all I was interested in? That's understandable since we've only known each other a couple of weeks but I want a lot more than that from the man I'm with. I still consider myself 'collared' but that just means that you're the only one for me. That is if that's okay with you?"
"You sure you can live with that?"
"Why don't we try it and see?" she replied, with a smirk on her face.
I answered her in the best way I could think of by taking her in my arms and kissing her. What followed was more of a 'make-out' session than anything else. We kissed, touched, caressed and fondled each other but neither of us seemed interested in taking it any further.
When we finally got out of bed the first thing I did was make copies of my dad's company ledgers and send them off to my friends with a request that they take a look at them. After that, Ree and I spent the day rearranging the house to fit our new life together. My old bedroom became a temporary storage room and we talked about changing it into a nursery if, or when, the time ever came that we'd need it while the old master bedroom became the new guest room.
Afterwards, we went out to dinner to see what the world might think of the two of us together. It didn't take long to find out. Most people didn't seem to even notice but we did get a few raised eyebrows or whispered comments, usually from elderly women. What surprised us the most was when the owner of the restaurant appeared with a small bottle of champagne that had a note attached.
"With the complements of the lady sitting in the corner."
While the owner opened the bottle, we looked up to see who we owed our thanks to and couldn't believe it when we saw the mayor's wife smiling at us and lifting her glass in a toast.
"What's the note say?" Ree asked as I opened it.
There, in a beautiful, flowing script were the simple words:
I wish I was so lucky.
When we looked up, she was already gone.
"I never expected that," I whispered.
"Neither did I but you have to remember, mature woman have a tendency to appreciate certain things that others might not." She finished by leaning over and pressing her lips to mine, briefly slipping her tongue into my mouth.
"Ahem, if you'll excuse me?" the owner asked as he waited for us to part. Afterwards, he poured each of us a glass of the champagne before scurrying off to another table.
"Toast," I said as I raised my glass.
"To us," she replied before taking a sip of the bubbly.
