Sharing
Happiness
by Sterling My
name is Ethan. When this story began I had been divorced for 15 years.
My daughters were 25 and 28 and lived far away. My ex remarried but I
had reached the age of 52 without a new partner. We had shared custody
after we divorced, and it had worked well.
My girls and I had a
good relationship. Their mother was a good parent, but I provided them
with something valuable that their mother couldn't. I could listen to
their thoughts and feelings respectfully in a nonjudgmental way.
When
the younger one started sleeping with her boyfriend in ninth grade, she
told me but not her mom. So I raised a few considerations (STDs, birth
control, fidelity) but made it clear that I trusted her to make her own
decisions. When he dumped her she cried on my shoulder, knowing I would
never say "I told you so" or try to moralize. She could draw her own
conclusions. But my girls had grown up and left. They stayed in touch
regularly and visited when they could, but they had their own lives.
I
coached soccer when my own girls were growing up. They weren't great
soccer players, so I wasn't coaching the best teams, but I found I had
a knack for it. I could motivate the girls to improve while having fun,
to compete hard but not to get either too proud of winning or too upset
about losing. So I had kept up the coaching.
Lindsay caught my
attention from the first practice. She stared at me periodically,
looked away, and stared again. She seemed sad and confused, then would
start smiling or giggling or looking embarrassed for no apparent
reason. She didn't quite fit in with the other girls, and a few of them
told her she was acting weird. Lindsay wasn't the most skilled player
but she tried hard and she improved.
Outside of practice I
occasionally noticed her walking down my street, sometimes back and
forth within a few minutes. I figured she must live nearby and the
route to a friend's house happened to go by mine.
Over the fence
behind my house lived a Mrs. Wong. We chatted occasionally but that was
all. One warm evening after the season was over she called around 8pm
to report that someone was lurking in the bushes behind my house. I was
naturally alarmed. Then Mrs. Wong said the person had just that instant
taken off. It looked like a young woman. She further explained that she
had seen some movement behind my house half an hour before but couldn't
see anything more and thought it must be one of those little tricks our
senses play on us. But she kept glancing over and saw the same thing
twenty minutes later. Then she watched closely and had made out that it
was a person just before she called me. So whoever it was had been
there at least half an hour.
The same thing happened about three
days later. Mrs. Wong called reporting somehow behind a tree, but as
soon as I answered the young woman took off.
It was four days
later that I became aware of some loud talking outside my window. I got
up to investigate, and as I reached the front door Mrs. Wong came
around the corner with Lindsay, who was looking pale and sick with
fear. Mrs. Wong said she had kept her eye out for anything near my
house and this time when she saw her she had snuck around the block to
the front of my house, gone around the corner from the front and
confronted her. She asked me if I knew the girl, and I said I did. Mrs.
Wong started a lecture about how it wasn't good for a girl like her to
be creeping around at night, and not good to trespass or spy on people.
I tried some hints to get Mrs. Wong to leave, but gentle wasn't
working. So still trying to be diplomatic, I thanked Mrs. Wong
profusely for her concern and looking out for my interests but said
that now Lindsay and I needed to talk alone. She left then reluctantly.
(I sent her a thank-you card later that week.) I could tell Lindsay was
feeling horrible and whatever she needed it was not a lecture from Mrs.
Wong. So I asked Lindsay to come in. She sat on a sofa in the living
room, and I took an easy chair.
"So, this is a surprise," I
said. "You look like you feel really awful." Lindsay shifted a little
in her chair, looking away from me. Then she burst into tears.
"Gosh,
whatever it is, I'm sorry!" I said. I got a box of tissues from the
next room, and when I came back and put the box within reach of her I
sat on the sofa. We have to be careful with touch in this day and age,
so I sat a safe foot away but did put my hand on her shoulder blade --
not necessarily so safe, but I personally can't just stifle my reaction
of compassion because someone might conceivably take it the wrong way.
Just
at that moment she said, "It's OK, I like your hand there". That was
surprising. I wondered if she had a crush on me and was hoping to get
close in an inappropriate way. No sooner had I thought it than she
said, "My mother does that when I'm upset". It was a slightly odd thing
to say, but she relieved my fear.
She stopped crying, and I removed my hand.
"I
know you are so kind and that is so, so wonderful." After some more
tears she composed herself. Finally she took a deep breath and looked
at me.
"Think of a number between 1 and 100."
I thought of 37.
"Thirty-seven," she said.
I was amused.
"Another one."
I thought of 7, then thought that was too easy so I picked 97.
She said, "Ninety-seven, but first you thought of seven but changed your mind because it would be too easy."
Now I was truly startled and alarmed. Then she too looked alarmed, and a little panicked, then started crying again.
"You can read my thoughts?" I said, numb and dumbfounded. She nodded.
I
immediately went through my other thoughts. I felt sorry for Lindsay,
remembering how she had acted a little strange when she was on my team.
I considered that I felt both exasperated with Mrs. Wong but also
thankful to her. I was unhappy with my boss and resented the business
trip I would be leaving on the next day. And then -- oh shit -- I was
thinking how sexy Lindsay was. She was only 12, but like a lot of girls
that age she was sexually mature, with her lovely small breasts and
graceful figure, even though she had an average-looking face. Lindsay
tried to suppress a smile. It could be coincidence, but it looked like
she could read thoughts beyond numbers. Embarrassing ones.
Let
me digress briefly. I have always been aware of an attraction to many
of the girls I coach, but I don’t think much of it. I am a male animal,
and they sure look like the kind of animal I would like to mate with.
It's a little bit of delicious tension, not anything to be ashamed of.
I never dreamed of doing anything inappropriate, and made it a point
not to stare or anything. It was just something going on in the back of
my mind while I related to the girls as soccer players and young people
who for the moment had been entrusted to my care. The trust was
justified. But in this new topsy-turvy world Lindsay had forced on me
my private reactions weren't private any more. I felt open and
vulnerable and that made me scared.
She looked kind of
frightened and said, "I'm sorry. I can go away. I can't read any of
your thoughts when I am like a hundred yards away." But after a pause
she started crying again, harder than ever. I couldn't send this girl
away as long as she was so upset.
Between sniffles she said,
"Look, you're a good guy. I know if someone was reading my thoughts
they would get all kinds of embarrassing stuff. I think I'd die if
anyone could read all my thoughts." After a pause she said, "Like, my
period is just about over but I'm still wearing a pad. I mean I would
never tell you that but if you could read my mind you would know it
anyway."
I briefly wondered once again if she was getting sexual
on me, but an instant later I realized she was just trying to put me at
ease. She was right. There was no shame in her having her period, and
we both knew that. Social convention was that she shouldn't mention it,
and if she did then she was breaking a rule. But if I could read her
thoughts then I would know it, but she wouldn't have broken any rule.
She
would know I found her sexy because I was desperately trying not to
think of how sexy I found her. And then she could tell how flustered I
was knowing that she would know that. And how I would never dream of
touching her or anything, but since she could read my thoughts it was
almost like I was propositioning her. I then realized how she then had
all that information too. This was scary and humiliating.
My
attraction to her was surely like an elephant in the room. On the other
hand I had felt more attracted to a couple other girls on her team and
she had large, rather unattractive ears, so now would that hurt her
feelings? On the other hand, I could just see her on my bed -- No,
don't think this! -- breasts ready to be sucked, panties down and legs
spread wide as I got ready to take her virginity. And what would she
make of that? Aaarrggh! In the several seconds these thoughts were
going through my mind she cried less but looked embarrassed and upset.
She
got control of herself and spoke, a little uncertainly. "No way is it
news to me that I'm not the prettiest girl in the school, or even
close, and it's flattering to know that at least one male on earth
thinks I'm sexy. And if I know exactly what you might fantasize doing,
well, you can't help the thoughts, right?" She tried to suppress a
giggle that mixed with the sniffles. "And it's kind of like sex ed for
me. I know you would never do anything and I know you would never have
told me."
I didn't have to ask her any questions, because she knew what they were.
"No, I can't read anyone else's mind."
Pause.
"Yeah, give me a minute and I'll tell you why I was stalking you like a creep and lurking in your bushes."
Pause.
"No, I don't live anywhere near here, and when you saw me walking back and forth it was because I wanted to be close to you."
Pause.
"Yes, I bolted the first two times the moment I read your thought that Mrs. Wong had seen someone by your house."
Pause.
"Yeah,
it was totally bizarre to go to the first practice and find I could
read the coach's thoughts. All the little details of your life. Career,
groceries to buy, thinking of how to get us to pay attention. Then how
you could be closely watching Jane's kicking technique and offering
suggestions while also aware of how her boobs were so big and her legs
so long and sexy."
This was getting routine, so I didn't even get too embarrassed to hear her know that.
"But
now, why was I stalking you? Here. Listen. I've been depressed for
ages. I've been to shrinks, had tests. Been put on a dozen drugs. I'm
on two antidepressants now. But they don't do much. They keep me from
crying in public and keep me going to school."
She paused, shame coming over her face.
"And I've slit my wrists and been in the hospital."
I could just make out the scar on her wrist.
"But
when I read your mind, I also feel your feelings like they're my own.
It's like color in a black and white movie. When you feel fairly happy,
like you do most of the time, I feel happy too. When you got scared a
few minutes ago I felt scared too. When you get embarrassed, I feel
embarrassed -- though I would be feeling embarrassed anyway."
I
wondered if she felt sexual tension when I felt it too. She didn't
answer, but gave me the quickest glance, then lowered her gaze again.
As clear as any words.
"When you felt really angry with Alison this spring, I felt it too."
Yes, Alison had really pissed me off.
"When you wanted to bash that ref's skull in I felt that too."
I colored a little. Way to go Ethan, model of good sportsmanship, of not taking the game too seriously.
Something
came back to me from the spring. I usually had the girls do a weaving
drill for five minutes; it was part of the routine. That day I had
decided to cut it short to do a different one. And I was thinking it
was just about time to tell them to stop when Lindsay stopped the drill
and started coming towards me. Then she stopped dead in her tracks and
looked confused. I then told the girls it was time for the drill to
stop, and she started towards me again.
Now I thought I could
make sense of it. She knew I wanted to stop the drill, and she was
doing what she knew I wanted, and had forgotten that she wasn't
supposed to know that so she should wait until I actually said it. I
could see it would be hard for her to act only on what she got through
"normal" senses, sorting it out.
She smiled at me as I had these thoughts, then said, "Yes, you got it."
I
reflected. She had just finished seventh grade, a time when kids
struggle so hard with self esteem. She was having a very difficult
conversation with a grown man, first trusting him to believe in
mind-reading, which all clear-thinking people knew was impossible. She
was fending off or experiencing sexual thoughts and feelings that were
whizzing around.
It had to be excruciating. Why was she going
through it? A chance of feeling a little better. I offered some escape
from depression -- the kind of depression that makes you slit your
wrists. I felt a surge of compassion. She caught her breath, acting
almost strangled for a moment -- oh right, she felt the surge too. So
it might be worth the confusion to her, worth lurking behind my bushes
even though she had aroused suspicion twice before and must know she
might get caught.
I wondered if she maybe was hoping to get
caught. At that point she spoke. "No, I didn't want to get caught!"
Then, following my line of thought, she said uncertainly, "Well yeah,
maybe some part of me wanted to."
This means of communication was very fast. I could quickly go through a line of thought and she would correct me if I was wrong.
But
she could have thoughts and share just the ones she felt like sharing.
She was in a position of power over me. She knew my mind but I didn't
know hers.
"Yeah, I know. What can I do?"
Tell me all your secrets, I thought.
"Maybe,"
she said. And she started staring into my eyes, until the instant I
realized it was making me uncomfortable, so she shifted in her seat and
looked down.
My life would be a whole lot simpler if she would
simply disappear and never come back. But she was a severely depressed
child, and I held promise of a life that had some joy in it.
I
had been depressed too, before the divorce, and thought of that endless
crush of cold and gray, where nothing holds any joy and it never will
again.
She looked at me, startled. "You know!" she said. And
after a moment, as I relived what it had been like, she said, "I don't
know if I should say this, but you didn't get it as bad as I do."
God! This poor girl! She made that strangled sound again.
So,
suppose I agreed to find some way she could see color in life through
my mind. How would it actually work? She could spend time close to me,
and if I was happy, she would be happy.
I had the amusing image
of making a little cot for her in the garage so she could lie there and
soak up my positive thoughts. The idea of any arrangement like that
where she would be reading my thoughts and I would be getting no
feedback was totally creepy.
But if she was with me in person,
she would know every time I found her sexy, and because of that I would
try not to think about it, and then I would find I could think of
nothing else. And my sexual frustration would grow. She would feel
that, and she would no longer feel happy but sexually frustrated too.
But
then a possibility jumped into focus, one I had been trying to avoid
thinking about. We could have sex, and I would feel great pleasure, and
she therefore would too. And she would know all the things I fantasized
about doing, and we could do all of them, or at least most of them.
As
this line of thought came over me she was looking away but I could see
her trying to control her rapid breathing. But I would feel terribly
guilty being her lover, guilty about what it would do to her. I would
be mightily afraid that we would get caught, or she would grow up and
realize that I had been raping her for years and was a horrible person,
then maybe send me to jail for life.
"No! You're so nice I'd never hurt you!" she said.
But
she didn't say anything when I considered that it is very hard for
people finishing seventh grade to know how they will feel years later.
My
pain at being caught and shamed and facing prison would cut her like a
knife, I could see that -- but only if she was within 100 yards.
I stopped myself. The entire idea of being sexual with her was absurd.
Even
if we found a way to keep things chaste, there was the small matter of
explaining to her parents and the rest of the world what she was doing
carrying on a friendship with an older man.
I also realized that
from the moment she had first found herself reading my thoughts, she
knew she couldn't tell her parents or her shrinks or they would lock
her up.
Suddenly I wondered why she had trusted me.
"I
dunno, I never thought it through. You're kind, that's a big thing.
Hmmm. I could prove it to you directly. And ... and you're the one who
could help me."
That all made sense. Now if I told people they
would lock me up too, or at least dismiss me as wacky. This dilemma was
now another thing we shared.
Could we work out any way that I could help her be happy?
A
lot of this came down to her parents, to what kind of people they were.
What would they do if Lindsay and I demonstrated that she could read my
mind? It would be easy enough. Send Lindsay outside, tell me some
numbers, then have her come back in, pick them up from my mind and say
them. Would they believe it? I looked at Lindsay.
She considered a moment, "I think so."
They
too would realize that telling anyone else about this would lead to big
trouble. What would they think about a friendship with me?
"I
know they love me a lot. They spend lots of money on treatments for me,
and they worry. One thing that makes it worse for me is that when I
don't get better, I know it hurts them so much too. I'm letting them
down."
I tried to stifle my next surge of compassion, but she caught her breath anyway.
So
if they got on board and believed that a friendship with me was good
for their daughter, what then? She could come over to my place a lot,
but people would get very suspicious. I could come to their place, but
what would that be like, the four of us?
I stopped for a moment
and two pieces of the puzzle suddenly fit together. I was willing to
consider some sort of arrangement to help Lindsay be happy instead of
horribly depressed. If she hadn't been able to read my mind, something
could have been worked out. We could be like big brother and little
sister. Kindly uncle and niece in need of guidance. I would be aware of
my attraction but just not think about it.
But she could read my
mind. Every time a sexual fantasy popped into my mind she would know it
too. I could not stand trying not to think about sex, failing, being
sexually frustrated -- and the humiliation of having her know I had the
hots for her.
It was all or nothing for me. We either had to be
lovers or nothing. Statutory rape, big time. A little wave of nausea
came over me, and Lindsay stirred.
The time had come for me to shake her hand, wish her luck, and say I just could not help her.
But
I couldn't keep thinking about the other side. Would she even consider
the sex part? She wasn't getting up to shake my hand and leave either.
She wasn't bringing up ways we could make it work on the uncle/niece
model.
I wondered if she found me attractive. She didn't say anything for a moment, even though she knew I had formulated the question.
"You're attractive enough," she said.
That
sounded like damning with faint praise. But then I was an old guy, and
girls don't go for old guys. Unless they are wise, kind and good,
especially if they are figures of authority like soccer coaches.
She was suppressing a smile.
I
thought about what she would be feeling. If she did find me quite sexy
and said so, wouldn't the sexual tension in the room be almost
unbearable? Maybe it was better not to know too much.
She then said, "All that matters is how sexy you find me."
It made sense, and I wondered why I hadn't thought of this.
Whatever
her own independent mind and body thought, they were crippled with
depression. The happiness would come from what I felt.
Blushing a little and looking down she said "It felt really, really, really good the other night when you jerked off."
I had a huge flush of embarrassment, which in turn flushed across her face. Yeah, I had jerked off one of those evenings.
I
tried to see if this embarrassment could be turned into a real
solution. She could eavesdrop on my feelings while I jerked off a lot
-- that was a crime too, if she was present.
But maybe that
wasn't her point. My sexual pleasure was a huge draw for her. Even if I
could manage a platonic parental relationship, it would be hard for her
to keep from trying to seduce me!
She didn't speak to correct that line of thought, but she looked up briefly as she smiled shyly.
She hadn't gotten up to leave, so in comparing bone-crushing depression to regular sex with an old guy, the sex wasn't losing.
She smiled at me uncertainly.
"It would have been easier if you were a woman, or gay or something."
She
had a point there. She wasn't seeking me out for the sex, it's just
that the sex came along in the same package given my suppressed desires.
Lindsay
was feeling a whole lot better than she had been when flushed out of
the bushes by Mrs. Wong. She had told someone her big secret and he had
believed her and been nice about it. And there was hope that she might
really have a happy future.
We both had a great deal to think
about, and I needed to be thinking about my part with Lindsay more than
100 yards away. She needed to get home.
So after just a little hesitation we got ready to give each other a goodbye hug. Part of me wanted to do so much more.
She
blushed, smiled, and stammered, then decided to give voice to my
thought: "A nice hug, even though what you really feel like doing is
fucking my brains out."
I was shocked that she would say it so bluntly.
She smiled impishly, I smiled back, and soon we were laughing hysterically.
As we calmed down she beamed at me and I beamed back at her. Whatever had made me think she had an average face?
We had our hug, kept short and strictly ceremonial.
As she was halfway out the door, I realized that at one powerful level, she obviously wanted me to fuck her brains out too!
She gave a hasty, "Good night!" over her shoulder, then literally ran away.
Our
news set her parents' world spinning, just as mine had been a few days
earlier. Lindsay's had started spinning when she came to her first
soccer practice.
They had me over to dinner and her mother had
cooked a luscious thick steak. The taste of Lindsay's steak in her own
mouth was soured by depression. But feeling me taste it, she gave a
radiant smile, something her parents hadn't seen in years.
They were willing to think about it. We all took the summer to think about it.
Lindsay
and I met periodically in public places or at her house to get to know
each other, and it naturally went very fast when she could read all my
thoughts.
When she read intimate thoughts of mine she tried to
say something similarly intimate about herself. She had been mean to a
little girl down the street. She had first gotten her period during
school and was sent to the nurse's office with blood running down her
leg. She had a crush on her math teacher. Boys and girls at school both
made fun of her. She was terrified of butterflies, of all things.
Our
life experiences were totally different. I had already raised two
children and had a long professional career. I wouldn't be able to
discuss art or politics or science with her -- at least not for a long
time. But I had had all that meeting-of-the-minds stuff in my marriage,
and it had all come to nothing when the feelings turned to ice. Lindsay
would love me and that was enough.
I was attracted to women of a
wide variety of ages, and had viewed the teenagers as attractive but of
course unavailable. Now that one of them was available, I realized that
I found her sexier than any mature woman. She read all these
considerations from my mind and was OK with them. I felt her
vulnerability from her youth and depression, and felt strongly
protective. She was also sweet, kind, and brave. I loved her.
We
had one moment of truth when she first introduced me to her parents. I
couldn't hide my first impression of her mother: she was fat and ugly.
As soon as we were alone, Lindsay told me I was a pig to think like
that. She felt hurt and angry because she loved her mother, naturally.
But
she slowly realized that my gut reactions in this regard were no easier
to control than any others. The crucial thing was that I respected and
even liked her mother and thought we would get along great. If she
looked at her mother with a fresh eye, a man's eye, she could see that
she did look fat and ugly.
I centered myself by considering that
I really didn't have any evil or truly shameful thoughts. There was
nothing in my mind that would make Lindsay doubt my character. She
would be exposed to my dirty underwear, to the garbage I set out on the
street, and even to what I flushed down the toilet, but she wouldn't
find any guns or dead bodies.
Her parents had an agonizing
dilemma. Their daughter had already slit her wrists once, and they were
afraid she would do it again -- especially afraid if they nixed this
new possibility which was so exciting for her. But to approve of this
relationship with an older man went against all of their gut instincts
for protecting their child.
The three of us met without Lindsay.
I reminded them that they couldn't tell me anything in confidence
because Lindsay would quickly find it in my mind. But their purpose was
simple. Would I love and honor their girl, or was I in it for the sex?
Lindsay had this intimate knowledge of my thoughts, but they felt she
lacked the life experience to be confident that what she found meant
what she thought it did. Could I look them steadily in the eye and tell
me I had Lindsay's best interests at heart?
I could and I did.
The
logistics weren't too hard. Her parents bought a two-family house at
the end of a long driveway, in a wooded area with no neighbors to snoop
on us. They lived in one half and I rented the other.
Lindsay
would officially live with her parents and stay there if one of my
daughters came to visit, for instance. And even if it were an extended
visit, she could stay fairly happy reading my thoughts through the wall.
Otherwise she would live with me.
Her
parents and I all faced jail if this came out. They would be
accomplices to statutory rape as surely as I would be guilty of the
crime itself.
The best we could hope for was mercy, if it came
to that. We all four signed statements and made videos describing how
we knew we were proposing statutory rape but felt it was justified by
the circumstances. We had to leave out the mind-reading part.
The documents were tucked away in our lawyers' safes, to be kept sealed unless needed for a legal (and moral) defense.
Lindsay and I both had STD tests that came up negative. She started on the pill.
We
decided to have a wedding, non-binding in the eyes of the law, of
course. No one knew for sure where Lindsay would go in the future,
crucially whether her mind reading would continue or stop. At the
moment it looked like it would break her heart to leave me in a very
immediate way. But then the divorce rate is high anyway, and the fact
that we both meant our vows at the time was enough.
It was a
week after her 13th birthday. I waited by the fireplace in her parents'
living room. When Lindsay emerged from the bedroom she had on a
stunning white dress and veil. Her father walked her down the hallway
and gave her away.
Lindsay and I would have to suppress all
affection in public and even so be subject to suspicion. We had our
honeymoon in my half of the house -- we certainly couldn't travel
anywhere as a couple.
After an elaborate and delicious meal, her
parents left for a week-long trip. The walls between the two halves of
the house were thick, but maybe not thick enough.
Lindsay
and I went out the front door of her parents' place and crossed six
feet of porch to the door to ours. I carried her over the threshold,
set her down, and shut the door behind me.
I took one look at
her and felt a surge of lust go through me, and it instantly went
through her too. With one smile at each other we knew what was about to
happen.
I threw off my shoes and pulled down my pants and
underpants. She lay in the center of the living room sofa, pulling her
wedding dress up just a little and spreading her legs wide. I
approached her and lifted the dress up all the way. I was excited to
see she had worn no panties, and she in turn wriggled at my excitement.
I feasted my eyes on her perfect, young private parts, but not for long.
I
lowered myself and pressed against her labia. She used her fingers to
open them a little. I pressed hard and my tip went in. We both gasped.
Her gasp was partly due to pain, but that wasn't important to her. I
drew back and urgently pressed four more times until I was in her all
the way, and with one more giant thrust I was overwhelmed with pleasure
as I spurted into Lindsay, my perfect young bride. At my orgasm she
screamed out her pleasure as my pleasure echoed in her. Less than two
minutes had passed since I had shut the door.
We retired to our
bedroom, put away our good clothes and proceeded to strip. It was the
first time I had seen her naked. Her body was more perfect than I
thought possible, and she beamed at my appreciation. I ran my hands all
over her as we stood on the carpet.
We took a shower together
and soaped all over each other, as I delighted in getting to know her.
She was in awe of my body too. She slipped out of the bathroom and into
bed as I finished drying myself. When I came into the bedroom she was
in bed with the covers up to her neck. I slid in beside her and felt
her warm soft body. But I also saw her beautiful face, and we had our
first half hour of kissing, which was wonderfully sweet.
Then I turned over onto her and as I did she positioned the tip of my penis at her vaginal opening. I slid in smoothly.
As
she explained later, she was always lubricated in time because the
arousal I felt from looking at her or even thinking about sex
transferred directly to her own arousal.
Now with perfectly
clean bodies in perfectly clean sheets, I slid delicately in and out of
my darling Lindsay in missionary position for a long time, enlivened by
more kissing. After maybe thirty minutes I in quiet ecstasy pumped her
full of more semen. She didn't scream this time but my orgasm was hers
and she gave me a hug and then cried for a while, tears of joy.
Lindsay and I fell asleep with me spooned behind her. It was amazing. Her innocent perfect body was mine.
Not
long into the night a small movement she made woke me up, as I was not
accustomed to anyone sharing my bed. I was momentarily surprised before
remembering she was with me, then I felt so happy to have her.
Then
I was overwhelmed by her sexy presence, how her naked rear was right
there. I was putting it out of my mind to go back to sleep, but instead
I felt her back arch and her sexy rear push out towards me
provocatively. My penis rose to full hardness, and the instant it did,
Lindsay's small hand was guiding it into her vagina. I pushed in, full
of gratitude, love, and lust. I prepared to keep a slow pace, and
reached my hand around to massage her clitoral area.
She gently put my hand back and whispered, "Doing what YOU want is what gives me pleasure."
I
reflected that a few quick and deep thrusts were what I most wanted,
and hugged by her perfect silky tight vagina again, I found myself
straining, pushing, intruding, and in 30 seconds I came again. She gave
a loud moan.
I pulled out and thought about fighting sleepiness
to stay close to her, talking maybe, but then realized what she would
say. If I felt like drifting off to sleep, that's what she wanted too.
In
the morning she went to pee, and I thought about how much I'd love to
see her pee up close. Once she was set on the toilet she motioned me
over, and with her legs far apart I got to watch as her stream spouted
out of nowhere, it seemed. She smiled.
I fantasized about her
bent over the sink in the bathroom, taking her from the rear. Within
seconds she had gotten up from the toilet and bent over the sink, butt
up in the air. I took in the sight of her butt with the labia
gracefully positioned below her anus.
As I watched she swayed
her butt back and forth alluringly. Had I thought that? I wasn't sure.
"No," she said, looking over her shoulder. "That was my idea," and she
grinned impishly.
I wanted to have her right then, so I spread
the labia wide, pressed in and pounded away hard and deep for a good
long while. This didn't feel quite so sweet and loving -- it felt
animal and kind of mean. The idea of rape even passed through my head.
"Rape me!" she said.
I
was briefly ashamed, then I went with it. I felt the pleasure building
luxuriously, approached the edge, then drew back a number of times,
until I reached the point of no return and I spurted once more up in
her vagina with a roar, and she screamed. It was good her parents were
away.
The next day she rode me on the bed, engulfing me as I lay
on my back. Later she took my penis in her mouth. With instant feedback
the pleasure was incredible, since whenever she tried something she
knew just how it felt to me. She realized I didn't want to come in her
mouth, so she stopped in time and presented her vagina instead.
After
breakfast I saw her bending over putting something back in the
refrigerator, and she instantly adjusted to my fantasy. She shut the
door and turned around. She then leaned back against the fridge, with
one leg tilted up, knee on the counter. I slid my penis into her
luscious vagina once more and took her, the fridge rocking back and
forth a little with each stroke.
I wondered what would happen if
I fantasized about something that would really hurt her. Could I
fantasize about her slitting her wrist? I was instantly ashamed because
I knew she had done just that. And then I knew that it was a natural
free association and she would know that.
She stopped what she
was doing and said she could tell the difference between just thinking
about something and actually wanting it.
I made her promise that
she would never follow any of my thoughts if they hurt her. She might
misread my signals. We talked about fleeting unkind angry thoughts.
She
then mentioned that the sex from the rear in the bathroom actually had
hurt her a fair amount because I was going in so deep. The pleasure she
had gotten from my enjoyment had predominated, but she had also been
aware from her own depressed body that it was painful. I told her that
in the long run I was going to be unhappy if I found I had been hurting
her body, and she understood and accepted that.
We did it
several times a day for our little honeymoon. Whenever I fantasized
about something she did it. And I couldn't feel too guilty, because she
wasn't doing these things to make me happy, really. She was doing them
to make herself happy.
After a week of bliss, I had to go back to work and Lindsay had to go back to school.
She
did OK psychologically in school. She usually had that oppressive cold
and gray experience, made worse because it contrasted to what she felt
around me. On the other hand so much easier to bear because it would
end in a few hours.
I tried helping her with her homework. One
rule I knew from my days as a parent was that you aren't supposed to
give the kid the answer, you're supposed to help them figure it out.
But of course once I figured out the answer then she knew it too, so
that took a little adjustment.
She was an OK student, but far
from brilliant. I couldn't help thinking sometimes that she was being
kind of dense. She knew it instantly, of course, but we got through it.
She knew she wasn't brilliant.
She took to spending the
afternoons over at her parents' house, mostly to visit and so her
mother could help her with homework. Every now and then she would
giggle or burst out laughing or start crying. She was picking up some
thought of mine.
I found I was sometimes thinking thoughts I
knew she would pick up because she was across the wall, within range. I
could tell her a joke by just thinking it. Her mother reported it was
disconcerting, but it was worth it to see her daughter giggling and
laughing.
I often came over for dinner. Lindsay urged her mother
to make things I liked especially. After a while she stated them as her
own preferences, not mine. They were nearly identical.
I
reconfigured my job. I used to have a fair amount of out-of-town travel
and commuted into the city at least three days a week, but at that
point in my career I didn't enjoy it. So I took to only telecommuting
and did most of it while Lindsay was off at school, though this
adjustment understandably required a pay cut. Lindsay's happiness
rested on having me around most of the time, so her parents made up the
difference in pay. They were quite well off and could easily afford it.
A
few lucky men over the centuries have had women meeting their every
need and every whim, but none has had it as good as I did. For one
thing, I didn't have to ask for things, I just had to think of them.
And whereas men typically suppress their fantasies that they are
ashamed of, Lindsay knew that she was going to know every last one.
Some she might not be able to do or they would have hurt her
physically, but most others she did. She had no sense of shame and
never felt her dignity was in danger. She knew that I respected her,
even if some of my fantasies looked from the outside looked degrading.
And the biggest thing was that she wasn't catering to my whims for some
external reward such as money or my approval. The pleasure she gave me
was its own reward because she felt it too.
She didn't read my
mind when she was truly asleep, though some of my dreams made their way
into hers. But if she was awake she could read my dreams, and many a
time I awoke to her soft voice whispering, "It's OK, it's only a dream"
as she caressed me, lifting me out of some anxiety or fear or terror.
It was yet another reason I came to love her with all my heart.
She
didn't have to restrict herself to my fantasies either. If she thought
of something and I liked it, she would get pleasure from that too.
Not
all of her ideas worked, however. Once in the night I had an erection
while having an erotic dream and she thought it might please me
mightily to wake me up with her engulfing my penis, but it actually was
no good because I was in the paralysis that accompanies dreams and
waking at those times is unpleasant.
She took to going around
the house naked for the most part, or wearing just frilly bras and/or
alluring skirts. I went around naked too.
She catered to needs I
wasn't aware of. She started rubbing my back as I sat working, and only
then did I realized that my shoulder was a little sore. She put my
sweater on before I realized I was cold. She pulled the shade when the
light was getting in my eyes. She even slid her fingers over mine on
the keyboard and closed the windows with the annoying ads and moved the
cursor off of the movie I was watching.
All people have
different levels of attention, and even when we are not focusing on
something we are still experiencing it. If I was at my computer
absorbed in a novel or a political article or a matter from my
profession, that didn't interest her so much.
But she often sat
on the floor in front of me, very gently working my penis in her mouth
or hand. If I stopped and focused on it I realized it was very
pleasant, but mostly I was absorbed in my reading. Lindsay focused on
the mild sexual pleasure. She was masturbating, in a sense, getting
pleasure from my body that her depression kept her from getting from
her own.
One
Saturday a month after the wedding I woke up slowly and was a little
disappointed to find Lindsay wasn't in bed with me. But just a minute
or two later she appeared with a tray of breakfast. A perfect omelette.
Fresh biscuits, home-made strawberry jam and whipped cream. I had some
of the fresh-squeezed orange juice and the fresh-brewed coffee.
She
sat beside me on the bed and used a fork to give me my first mouthful
of omelette. It was very sweet of her, but I preferred to feed myself
omelette, which she knew instantly.
However, she picked up my
fantasy and spread lavish amounts of strawberry jam all around one
nipple and whipped cream around the other and then leaned in close to
me, so I just turned my head to lick them off of her perfect breasts,
alternating that with bites of the biscuits. Without my saying a word
she spread her legs a little, took my left hand and placed it between
her legs as I stuck my middle finger up her vagina just to rest it
there, to know it was waiting for me whenever I wanted it.
The
meal was delicious. And the instant I was done she took the tray away.
She raced back smiling, breasts bouncing a little, and landed in front
of me on the bed. After a few tender kisses, she settled over my pelvic
area with her head and went to work. Her hair tenderly fell over the
area, and with her hands she stroked my hips, inner thighs, and
testicles, ever so gently. Her mouth was around my penis, giving a
fabulous mix of sliding in and out, tongue swirling and flicks around
my tip as my penis grew hard. The pleasure was amazing. When I was
highly aroused she rolled onto her back, rolling me on top of her in
the same motion. She guided me inside her. Within a minute I delivered
my seed inside her yet once more, awash in my orgasm and her echo of it.
Then she did homework while I surfed the web for a couple hours.
As
I sat reading the paper after our simple lunch she came to feed me
chocolate fondue with fruit, putting each piece in my mouth just when I
was ready for it. I licked a little of the fondue from her breasts.
There
was a football game I wanted to watch. Lindsay didn't understand the
game much, but when I felt tense and excited she felt it too. I
sprawled in the armchair.
My penis wasn't ready for sex again,
but that didn't keep her from indulging me -- or was it herself? -- by
kneeling between my legs and gently working my limp organ with her
mouth, which felt heavenly. When it did get hard again, she impaled
herself on me facing me, preserving my line of sight to the TV.
I
held her in my arms while she slowly pulled her pelvis up and down,
just enough to be exciting without moving towards orgasm. My team won
after being down two touchdowns, and as the game ended, Lindsay flipped
over and presented her rear end. I took her from the rear, a feeling of
triumph and raw male power mixing with the sex itself. Lindsay loved it.
We
went over to her parents' place for dinner. Her mother had prepared a
lovely pork roast and a half dozen vegetables, each cooked and seasoned
in a different way she had gotten from online gourmet recipes. Lindsay
enjoyed every one, to her mother's delight. The fact that she was
catering to my taste, not her daughter's, was of no account. It was a
benefit, in fact, because most 13-year-olds do not enjoy the variety of
food that grown-ups do.
As we were sprawled in the afterglow of sex that night, she got reflective.
"I never dreamed that a man could desire a girl so much."
I smiled and gave her a squeeze.
"And I had no idea my body could make you so happy, over and over and over again."
I
gave her another squeeze. And then she sprawled crossways on the bed
and brought her face up close to examine my entire pelvic region, her
hands gently touching all over the area. She was hefting testicles,
swirling pubic hair, and examining and touching my slick and limp
penis, not to arouse but just to study.
"It's just such amazing stuff", she said, looking on in awe and wonder. "It feels so much pleasure".
felt
amused and proud -- proud down at the level of a little boy delighted
at how far he can piss. She looked at me and giggled, and I shrugged
and smiled.
She turned the light out on the way to snuggling
against me normally again, and we drifted off towards sleep. I thought
about how much and how deeply I loved her, and how I wanted her by me
always.
Lindsay lifted her head, looked at me a long moment and
then initiated the tiniest, softest, most delicate kiss imaginable,
then put her head back down against my shoulder. She was asleep within
a minute.
