Not having a telephone number, I wrote Laura as soon as I got back to the states, telling her that I was being discharged and that I would see her soon.
As of the 21st I was a civilian again. I spent the next two days looking for a suitable car, settling on a two-year-old Toyota with low mileage. It took two days to cross California and one half of Arizona, partly because I didn’t want to push the car in the desert heat, mainly because I didn’t want to be alone in Laura’s house for long. The hand drawn map she had sent me did not contain street names or house numbers but it was accurate and the house was easy to recognize from the photo, even though it was dark when I arrived.
Not having a flashlight, I parked the car in such a way to direct the headlights on the rose trellis. Throns stabbed my fingers as I searched for the key. By the description she had given, “‘on the trellis,” Laura had not planned on my arriving in the middle of the night.
The house was small. From the back door I stepped into the kitchen, a rectangular room with a refrigerator and stove, both small. The front room and the second bedroom were devoid of furniture. Laura’s bedroom at the rear of the house had the bed that she had written about, it being the only furniture.
Dropping my bag, I went back to the kitchen. The refrigerator was empty. On the counter was a small microwave, a toaster and a coffee maker. In the cabinets there was a set of dishes, four place settings, four glasses, silverware and two pans for cooking. I poured myself two fingers of scotch, thinking, it’s a good thing I’m not hungry.
Sleeping in Laura’s bed was strange, yet familiar. I could tell by the slight depression in the mattress that she slept on the left side of the bed, something I recalled from our R she’s cleansing herself, making the transition from Tess to Laura. What if she’s Tess? What if she’s not ready for me? I got into the bed and tried to go back to sleep.
Laura eased herself into the bed, making a slight dip in the mattress as she settled in. Aside from one short sigh, we lay quietly for the next thirty minutes. I knew I was not going back to sleep and I suspected she would not be able to sleep either.
Laura broke the silence, “Are you awake?”
“Yes,” I answered, wondering why she had not said my name.
“Would you put your arm around me?”
I rolled over and placed my hand on her belly. She was wearing the long nightgown. She put her small hand on mine and squeezed. A minute later her hand slipped from mine and her breathing became halting, a quiet snore escaping her nose. Her hair smelled clean. In the dark room I held her and listened to her sleep, wondering what was in our future, letting fear seep into my thoughts.
I did not sleep. Once, when she kicked me I compressed my hand against her tummy. Her hand covered mine for a few seconds, followed by a sigh as her body relaxed. When a speck of light filtered through the drapes I moved my hand from its resting place. Laura rolled onto her stomach, still asleep. My arm ached from being in the same position so long. In the dim light could see the strained look around her eyes and mouth.
An hour later I felt the peck on the back of my neck as her arms encircled my waist. I was at the stove, making an omelet, big enough for the two of us if she woke up, small enough for me to devour alone if she did not.
“Did the smell of coffee wake you?” I ask without turning. She was still wearing the long nightgown, nothing more.
“I reached for you and you weren’t there.”
I shut off the burner and turned to her. Seeing the sadness in her eyes and the drawn look on her face, I tried to hide my alarm. Laura studied my face, her lips quivering. Her slight body trembled in my arms; I felt wetness on my cheek.
“I’m crying because I’m so happy you’re home,” she said to explain the tears.
Laura excused herself to get dressed. When she returned her face was still pale but dry. She was wearing shorts and a sleeveless blouse, both white and loose fitting, with white sneakers and socks. Without peeking, I knew that her panties and bra were plain and white also. She wanted to be held again.
We marmaris escort stood at the kitchen counter and ate an overcooked bacon omelet with toast and coffee. I apologized for my cooking. Laura laughed and said it was fine, she was not very hungry. She wanted to know about my flight across the Pacific and my drive from the coast. We talked about our long separation, skirting what was foremost on our minds, what the future would bring?
“You didn’t bring in my mail,” she exclaimed.
I had walked by the mail box in front of the house but had not thought to check it. As I walked past my car I wondered how Laura had gotten home. It must have been well after midnight when she came to bed. There were two pieces of mail in the box, a bill from the electric company and the letter I had written when I first got back to the states.
“I’ll need to pay this on Monday, I don’t have a checking account so I have to pay in person,” Laura commented, setting the electric bill aside and opening my letter. She had washed the dishes while I was getting the mail. I expected for her to scold me for not addressing the letter to the brothel. I had been sending letters to the house for the past eleven months because she preferred to read them while on her R & R.
“You’re out? you’re a civilian?” She jumped into my arms. “I’m so happy,” she said, sobbing. Two things struck me. We had not kissed and she had not called me Randy.
“What are your plans?” She ask. We were in my car, running some errands. Laura’s hair was brushed and her face was scrubbed but to my surprise, she wore no make up. In addition to the loose fitting clothes, she wore sun glasses.
“I don’t have any,” I answered, failing to add, “it depends on us.” I had written that I planned on going to school but getting out earlier than I had anticipated had thrown me a curve. My future was upon me and ‘going to school,’ was a vague fantasy, not a plan.
She took me into the bank and told a cashier that we wanted to open a joint checking account. The cashier directed us to have a seat near a large mahogany desk.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I whispered to Laura. She wouldn’t look at me.
A middle-aged man joined us at the desk. Laura repeated what she had said to the cashier, saying that it was to be a joint account, that she and her brother would be writing checks and making deposits. The banker needed identification from each of us.
“You’re twenty-one?” the banker questioned me as he handed my driver’s license back. Laura turned her head sharply toward me and I could hear her gasp. She was just learning that I had had two birthdays while overseas. While the banker deposited the cash that Laura had counted out, she pointed out where the safety deposit boxes were located. “The savings book is in the box,” she confided.
“I’m such a shit!” she screamed when we were back in the car, “such a selfish shit!” I knew that she was berating herself for never having ask when my birthday was. She still thought of me as being a teenager.
“Why did you do that?” I ask, referring to the joint checking account she had just opened. I had not delivered the news that I would need to go home to see my family. I may not come back, I thought.
“Because I want to pay my bills by check. It’s not always convenient to pick up a money order and people get suspicious when I pay by cash. The landlord stops by for the rent and he never has change, then I have to wait for him to give me a receipt. He’s a lecherous old coot and I’m sure he wonders why I don’t have curtains up to the windows. This way I’ll be able to put a check in the mail and not worry about him catching me in my underwear.”
“Okay, sounds good,” I said, wondering why she had not opened checking account before. It bothered me that she had named me as a co-owner of the account. She was assuming that I would be around.
“Let’s go home, I want to enjoy you,” she said, an expectant look in her eyes.
We stripped down to our underwear and lay on the bed. It was then that I saw how thin she had become. She would not kiss me on the lips, wanting only to rest her head on my chest, her hair tickling my chin each time she looked my way to see marmaris escort bayan my expression.
She agonized about missing my birthday, twice. I rubbed her back and told her to stop fretting about it. We talked about the weekends we had in Phoenix and about our exchange of letters while I was overseas. Catching up was not easy, there were certain questions I could not ask and she was hesitant to ask the thing she needed to know, what were my plans?
I did find out some things that I was curious about. The house she had rented was fourteen miles south of the town where her work, the brothel, was located. She had taken a taxi home at about 3 a.m. She had not considered getting a TV or a telephone because she had wanted to be alone. If I wanted, she would order a telephone and we would go shopping for a television. I said no, we could get by very nicely with just each other. She laughed, saying she had not met any of the neighbors.
“When will you go see your family?”
“I thought maybe next week,” I said, stroking her hair.
“Mmmm,” her voice tailing into sleep. I lay quietly, listening to her breath, my hand on her back to assure her I was there. When she jumped I stroked her hair.
“Will you write to me?”
The question startled me. She had settled into a deep sleep for the past two hours and then she was awake, wanting to know if I would write while at home. I hesitated. If I said I would write she would wonder how long I was planning to stay. If I said no it would be like a commitment that I would be back soon.
“It depends.”
“Depends on what?”
“Will you write to me?”
“I’ll call you,” she said, lifting her head from my chest to look at me. I smiled, knowing she wanted my approval.
We spent a restless night. Laura had a series of little fits, jerking, kicking and rolling around the bed. Twice I heard her get out of bed and paddle around from room to room on the bare floors. I had trouble sleeping because I did not know how to tell her that I might not come back. By not saying anything it was as if I was lying.
When I saw light peek through the heavy drapes I eased myself out of bed. Laura was snoring lightly. I went into the bathroom to take a piss and decided to take a shower. Returning to the bedroom to get a clean pair of shorts from my bag I saw the Laura was awake, motioning for me to come back to bed. As I slipped into the bed she came to me, warm and soft and caring. What more could one want on a Sunday morning, I thought.
She was a woman possessed, flicking my nipples while reaching for the snaps on my shorts. My cock came to life as soon as her hand found my balls. She was on her knees, kneading my nuts in her small hand. She grabbed one of my hands and directed it to the shoulder straps of her gown, raising her arms for me to lift it off. The gown slipped over her slim body, displaying the gold chain around her neck with the Korean trinket dangling between her breasts. Unencumbered, Laura’s small body bent to lick around the head of my cock in a circular clockwise motion, her hair tumbling to tickle my stomach as her head moved. I had waited 18 months for this moment, dreaming of how it would feel, never letting it leave my mind, not even when receiving a poor imitation of the act from someone else.
She engulfed me to the back of her throat, lingering, sucking hard on the way back up, kneading my balls, tongue flicking the head, moving her hair, grinning at me and repeating the maneuver, driving me insane. When I tried to fuck her mouth I felt a sharp tug on my balls, restraining such action. Laura was in charge. I watched her work, admired the technique she practiced to give me a prolonged enjoyable experience. She knew I was ready to come before I did. When I could not hold back I let my balls empty into her waiting mouth. Lovingly, she licked me clean and then dashed off to the bathroom.
“I thought about doing that for you every day you were gone,” she said. When she took her place, her tits mashed to my chest and her hair tickling my nose. When we kissed I tasted a combination of mouth wash and tooth paste. I pulled her up and sucked on her nipples, first one and then the other.
“I escort marmaris thought of you doing that every day I was away,” I said as I brought my lips to hers for longer kiss.
“Mmmmm….. I thought of you too and doing that every day you were away.” She took my nuts in her hand again, getting my attention.
“Did you think of what you could do with my nuts every day too?”
“Mmmmm…… I thought of making you happy every day you were away.”
My cock was responding to her touch. “You know what I would like for you to do?”
“Mmmmm…. I think so…what would you like for me to do?”
“You know that milking thing you do? I would like for you to put my cock in your pussy and do that milking thing for a long time, with you tits where I can reach them and your lips near enough for me to kiss whenever I want. That’s what I thought about all the time I was away.”
“Why didn’t you say so? Why didn’t you write that to me? You make me so mad some times. You know I’ll do anything for you, don’t you? Don’t you know that?”
Slowly, she lowered herself on me until we were fully engaged. I felt her grip me and begin the milking action I had requested. She bent her body forward to place her tits in my cupped hands. I brought her lips down to mine, squeezing her tits as we kissed.
“Tell me you know that, tell me you know I’ll do anything for you,” she said when I let her lips leave mine. I felt her cunt make my cock sing.
She straightened her body, making me go deeper and making my balls scream. She came forward again, bringing her tits into my welcoming palms and her lips back to mine.
“Tell me, tell me you know,” she implored. “Tell me you know I would do anything to please you.”
“I know, I know you would do anything for me, I know I can ask you for anything,” I said.
She raised her body again, seating my cock, milking it, smiling down at me, tears forming in her eyes.
“Does that feel good? Am I doing it right?” she asked as her tits leaned into my hands again.
“You’re doing it perfectly, it’s exactly as I remembered,” I assured her.
“I like it too, can I fuck you now? I feel like coming. Can I make you cum with me?”
She did not move back up until I said okay. “Yes, fuck me now, I want you to cum with me.”
With that, Laura straightened her back, milked me again before raising her body until we were barely joined, then slamming back down, milking, raising, slamming back down with a purposeful look on her face. When my cum spurted she bent down to me, whimpering. She was still milking me as her wet cheek came to mine. “I’ll do anything you want, just tell me, all you need to do is tell me,” she whispered.
“What is that?,” I ask. Laura moved away, putting her hands up to ward me off. We were in the shower. I had washed her front, paying special attention to her tits and her cunt. She had washed my front, making my cock hard again. I had turned to let her wash my back but when I tried to return the favor, she resisted, backing away, saying that her back was clean. This was not like Laura. She had always loved to feel my hands on her ass cheeks.
Determined to please her, I forcefully turned her back to me. “What is that?” I ask, seeing the purple scar on the right cheek of her ass. Laura squirmed away, nearly slipping as she jumped from the tub. I got a glimpse of the scar before she draped a towel around her mid section and fled to the bedroom. It looked to be indented, purple at the center, fading to blue veins at the edges.
The bedroom door was closed. There was no lock on the door but I knocked anyway, concerned that I would spook her. There was no answer. I knocked again and called out to her. When she still did not answer I entered the room. Laura was lying on her back, legs spread. Her hair was wet and there was moisture on her upper body.
I tried to dry her hair but she fought me, trying to push me away.
“Who did that to you? What happened?”
There was a deranged look in her eyes, filled with sadness but there were no tears. She watched me closely, ready to attack if I came near. I gave her space.
“My tits are still pretty, do you like my tits?” her voice was distant. “I’ll be your little whore, do you like my pussy? Do you think it’s pretty?”
“Who did that to you?”
“We had a trailer at the edge of this little town, this other girl and me. Business men…”
