Loving Will by Eve Boston
Wanting Will When our group was dismissed from the final grief recovery meeting, we were warned not to date each other. The therapist’s reasoning was that we knew, all too well, each other’s vulnerabilities. I understood, but disagreed. I watched the group walk away, some coupled off. I did not follow into Starbucks. I waited for someone. I smelled him before I saw him emerge from the open door of the dark building, his scent familiar, compelling. I watched his graceful, confident walk toward me. He was tall, well muscled, and physically balanced. His clean‐shaven jaw was determined, his freshly cut hair sandy with a few darker streaks, depending on the light. But his eyes… His eyes were a mesmerizing hazel with flecks of green and amber. His surety in himself reminded me that if Will was the brilliant sun, then I am the reticent moon. I’m petite and slender, with long auburn hair that curls recklessly in the damp weather of San Francisco. Unruly as it is, my hair is my saving grace. I wear it long and layered, to make up for a nose that is a bit too long, cheekbones that are too angular, and skin that is very white. His outgoing nature and obvious physical strength was in sharp contrast to my lifetime shyness and small frame. I often think of myself as a night person, wanting to slip away into shadows, but he found me anyway. I smoothed my hair as he approached me, a self‐conscious habit that I was trying to break. Will approached and touched my shoulder. He was so much taller

Loving Will by Eve Boston than me. The full lips of his sensual mouth parted, and I got a glimpse of white teeth as he spoke. “There you are, Jane. I thought you’d gone. I wanted to tell you how I’ve enjoyed sharing our journals.” “Likewise. We got into the meat of life and death, didn’t we? In writing, talking, and hugs.” “We did. So, please tell me that you’re going to do something with your writing talent.” My cheeks heated with a blush. “Thank you. Writing is freeing, although, in the future I hope mine won’t make people cry.” “Crying is good. Afterward, the issue is resolved. You should keep writing. You have something special.” “From you, that is quite a compliment. I know how well‐read you are, how educated. Yet, you’re Everyman.” He laughed. “Talent and education are different.” “True,” I agreed. “I meant, you make me comfortable.” “Good,” he whispered. His hand massaged my shoulder—it was very good to be touched by him. I closed my eyes when he interlaced his fingers with mine, and a sigh escaped before I could stop it. “Your hand is so soft and small. The first time our hands touched was in group when I said that my boys would never again know their mother’s hand. You took my hand in yours and said, ‘But they have their father’s hand. Do they know that?’” I opened my eyes. “The pain was so fresh, then. I pressed your buttons without meaning to.” “It’s OK. In that moment, I resolved myself to the complete responsibility of parenthood, something I’d left too much of to my wife. I was so busy with my education, I neglected them, and her. It hit me like a sharp stone.” “I’m sorry.” “Don’t be. It was a good, sharp stone. I accepted that I walled myself off from the boys to wallow in my own grief when they needed me the most. It’s better now. We talk.”

Loving Will by Eve Boston He had sons; my son was dead. He could talk to his sons, hold them. I never could, now. I pushed away envy. “I wish you well, with all of my heart.” “Please don’t say that like a goodbye.” A moth passed by my face, beat its soft wings on my cheek, but I did not move. I thought hard about the next few minutes of my life, knowing that I could choose now. That was one of the things we learned; pivot points reveal themselves and require action. I could let him walk away from me forever, or not. A tear slipped away. He brushed the moth away then left his hand on my wet cheek. “You’re crying.” I nodded. His voice was silky in the night. “I’m sorry that you lost your baby to SIDS. I can’t believe your husband divorced you, left you to bear this alone.” He paused, and I could see his anger at my ex melded with his concern for me. His eyes were hazel‐amber light, a fire behind the calm man I knew. “I’ve wanted to say, for months, that if you were mine, I would have never walked away from you.” “Cowards do that. But you’re not a coward.” “I won’t walk away from you now either. Maybe this night isn’t meant to be an ending, but a beginning.” He raised one eyebrow like a question mark. Now the ball was in my court. “You’ve become a dear friend, but I am wary of leaping into more. Not that I haven’t considered it.” “For several months, twice a week, we have cried in front of each other, shared our journals, told our naked stories of the loved and lost. There was never a doubt in my mind that you and I would go on for a long time.” I closed my eyes and tilted my head up toward him, wanting him to kiss me, which he did, to my utter joy. His lips took mine, but they were gentle, careful, giving and full of the promise of passion. I drank in his breath—it was minty‐fresh. His saliva was even sweet. We stood like that, in the darkened portico, and just kissed, kissed, kissed, a flood of want and need rushing to the surface. Sexual, emotional,

Loving Will by Eve Boston human. The only sound was the flesh of our lips meeting and parting, our breathing, the suckle of our tongues questing, tasting. The true moment of our lives blending began just then, our chests brushing against each other, nipples hardening through thin clothing to press our heartbeats together on heated skin on this soft, summer, San Francisco night. His hardness rose against my dress, to my shock, my joy, my need. When we stopped kissing, I was almost breathless from wanting more of him. He smiled at me, waiting for my cue or permission. To my surprise, I laughed. I hadn’t heard myself laugh for so long, not since before my baby’s death, that I was startled to hear the strange sound coming up from my throat and out into the air between us. “A laugh, that’s new,” he said. “You’re delightful when you laugh.” “Laughing is healthy, too,” I said on a breath. “I forgot what it was like to laugh.” “I liked hearing you,” he said. We smiled at each other. I wondered where this would go. “I forgot what it was like to kiss a man.” “And more?” he left off. “If you want more.” A breath of surprise escaped me. “Is it OK for me to want more?” “Yes. It is very OK. You deserve all that I have waiting for you.” My heart pounded. Like a teenager, I thought I might swoon. “What’s next?” “Shouldn’t we find out? Let’s go across the street with the others and get some coffee?” I shook my head. “I am more of an iced tea girl myself during summer. I enjoy hot tea when the weather is cold and damp. Coffee, never.” “Iced tea it is,” he agreed and offered me his solid arm. He was a head taller than me, just right for kissing while standing up, while walking down the street, and more. Instead of us going across the street to Starbucks, I said, “I like the people from our group, but I want to serve you iced tea. At my home.”

Loving Will by Eve Boston His eyebrows shot up in surprise. I wanted to say something meaningful, so that my taking the initiative, the leap to the next possible level, would not make me seem cheap or easy. I gave the moment my best effort. “I have this very old, beautifully illustrated book at my house. India’s Love Lyrics by Laurence Hope. Maybe I could show you the book. This verse that I read last night stuck with me, and I remembered a snippet just now. ‘Yet, in the midst of grief and desolation, Solace, I, my despairing soul with this: Once, for my life’s eternal consolation, you lent my lips your loveliness to kiss.’” “I understand your poignant context,” he murmured against my hair, and then kissed my lips with gentle, but sexual, intent. “A kiss as solace for grief. What a lovely woman you are. It is right that we do not say goodbye, as we have been warned to do by our therapist. Sometimes one just has to take a risk and turn the ship of Self into the wind to see where it sails.” He often spoke like a poet. I sighed with pleasure, feeling relaxed and safe in his company. He had been very comforting to everyone in our sessions, but the months had gone by without me daring to even hope that it would, or could, lead anywhere, as one‐on‐one. “I believe that you want to understand me,” I replied. Inwardly, I realized that I was taking action in my life, the first real human interaction outside of the grief recovery group since the death of my baby and the collapse of my marriage. “You would be right. I do want to understand you.” “My house isn’t far. Did you walk here, too?” “I took the bus. I’m poor. But I planned to walk home. It’s downhill,” he said. I smiled. “I’m not poor. Not rich either. Besides, walking is good for the soul, even if it is only downhill. Walking helps me to think of what I want to do when I get to where I am going. Step by step, I imagineer my plan. By the time I get to where I am going, I’ll know what to do.” “That’s one way of looking at being a pedestrian. It becomes your day planner.” He seemed amused. “I also hate driving in San Francisco,” I admitted. “And parallel

Loving Will by Eve Boston parking. I can never find angle parking when I need it.” He chuckled. We strolled up the hill to my house, my arm looped in his, protected, perhaps even owned a bit. It was a long walk though, and every so often, he would turn to look at me and smile. There were these unspeakable moments where we both sighed, as if the invitation into my home was also an invitation into my life. It turned out, that it was. * * * * * From the living room of my beautiful old house in the Heights, which was the primary consolation of my divorce, he called his boys’ live‐in nanny to tell her that he might be rather late getting home, and not to worry even if he was out all night. My face burned with embarrassment, but I knew that he knew that when I invited him over, my intent was for more than iced tea. I heard the nanny tell him that the boys were sound asleep, and there was no cause for worry, no cause for hurry. He left my telephone number with her in case of emergency. Though it was an awkward moment, with him calling the nanny and leaving my number with her, it showed me that he was responsible for his children before attending to his own needs and desires. We sat sipping iced tea in the living room of my painted lady Victorian. We were on the floor, tête‐à‐tête, at a low coffee table with a plate of my cookies between us, a pitcher of iced tea at my right hand, and luscious books from my vintage collection spread out on the floor. Our cheeks brushed as we leaned forward to share delectable passages aloud, or look at the color‐illustrated plates that I loved so much. “‘The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.’ Oscar Wilde,” he teased, holding one of my favorite quotations books. “One may find anything in a quotes book and use it to his advantage.” “Oh, you.” I giggled and thumbed through the Laurence Hope book that I quoted. “Look. I want to show you something.” I turned the
10
Loving Will by Eve Boston creamy, aged pages, letting his eyes soak in the vivid, lavish Art Nouveau color plates of half‐clad lovers. “I found the passage that I was trying to remember earlier.” I took a breath and read, “‘Give me your self for one hour; I do not crave for any love, or even thought, of me. Come, as a Sultan may caress a slave, and then forget for ever, utterly.’” “Pretty words, but do not ask for so little for yourself,” he admonished. “You are worth more than that.” I could feel the heat of a blush beginning under the small chastisement. We looked across the table into each other in the eyes. “I haven’t been worthy for so long, even before the baby was born,” I admitted. “When you kissed me, it was sweet, even amazing, but in my mind, I’m undeserving of your kiss.” He took my hands across the low table and they brushed the pages of my beloved books. “I can’t figure out why such a wonderful woman as you are should ever think she is unworthy of love. You’re smart, beautiful, a successful illustrator and writer, and you are, I suspect, a skilled lover.” “Thank you, but why would you say that part about being a skilled lover?” “I can tell from the way that you kiss that you are every bit as sexy in bed. I imagine that you are, just from the way your lips surrender and then give back with equal fervor.” I blushed more, suffused under his praise. “I do love to kiss. You. But I often ask myself that question—despite the two serious relationships that I’ve had, there is always something missing, and like you, I can’t get past a certain point in a relationship. I remember how you said you loved your wife but were disassociated from her. I could relate to that.” He nodded. “It is troubling to me that a dead woman is not perfect in my eyes. I wanted to mourn her sincerely and with dignity, but in truth, she was lacking as a wife. At times, she wasn’t that great of a mother for the boys, either. When a spouse dies, everyone expects you to almost beatify the dead person, and I didn’t do that, which angered her side of the family and alienated them, except for her mom who adores me.” He sighed. “I never said in our grief therapy group that the car accident was her fault and that she was the drunk driver in the accident.”
11
Loving Will by Eve Boston Our conversation paused for a long moment while I digested this new information, then cringed, searching for something polite and comforting to say. “I am so sorry for you. I had no idea.” “I know you didn’t. It was hard to deal with, and to keep it a secret from my boys. I just do not want them to know that their mom was anything but perfect. The older one especially—he’s thirteen—and if he knew, he would go ballistic with anger at her. The younger one, the eight‐year‐old—I am ashamed to say it—but I don’t even know how he would react, because I don’t know him as well as I should. I’ve been wrapped up in my busy academic life, trying to get my doctorate, and left most of the parenting to my wife. Now she’s gone, and I have to make a life with my boys and be both mother and father to them.” “You can only be a father. I can’t imagine playing both roles, though people do. Is your nanny good with them?” “She’s old and wonderful. She lives with us, and she’s expensive, but I can’t afford her much longer. My loans for college have gone toward school and childcare, and we are so poor that last week she bought the groceries. You cannot imagine how humiliating that is.” “I’m sorry. Did your wife not have life insurance?” “She did, but because she was committing a felony when she died, the life insurance won’t pay up. Exclusions, as they say.” “Oh, no,” I said. “How awful.” “Isn’t it though? A mother is gone, and there is no recompense for that, emotionally or even financially, not that I want to sound mercenary about it, but the boys need care, and it’s going to be hard unless I get this job I want. The opportunity is coming up soon, and I’m excited about it. I just have to hang in until then and finish up my last class and my papers. I’m pretty sure I will get it. I do use my wife’s social security income to pay for the nanny. Thank goodness I have that.” “That would be wonderful for you and the boys if you can get the job that you want.” I paused. “As long as you make time for the boys, I’m sure you’ll build a good life together.” I saw a transition in his eyes, of thought, and he smiled. “Fatherhood is just one side of me that I need to explore further. I
12
Loving Will by Eve Boston expect that I also will find someone who fits better with me, as a partner, and I with her.” His fresh, honest face was easy to read. He meant me. I realized with relief that there were to be no mind games between us. Everything would be aboveboard, as it had been in our group therapy. I thought for a moment. Were two boys daunting to me? Hmmm. Nope. I smiled just thinking of their cute faces, which I had seen in photographs in his grief‐therapy scrapbook. “What’s missing from your life?” he asked me, changing the focus to me. “I mean, I know that your baby is dead, and that is such a tragedy. I’m sorry for you, but what happened in your marriage? I just can’t comprehend that a treasure like you is discarded with such cruelty, especially after losing a child.” “Thank you,” I whispered. “I’ve wondered the very same thing. What’s missing with me and a man? I have never believed that I belonged to someone, that I was cherished, wanted. It seemed like my ex‐husband—or previous to him, a high school lover—just walked out the door, never to explain or return. I have this emptiness, this fear, that I didn’t quite fit into my own life. Even when I was married, I was afraid that there was something inherently wrong with me, that true intimacy could never be achieved.” I put my hands over my eyes and bent my head. “Ugh, I’ve said too much. I do that sometimes.” “No.” He got up, crossed to my side of the coffee table, sat beside me on the floor, and pulled my hands away from my face. “You should never apologize for being honest with someone who is interested in the real you. I want you to know a sense of belonging. With me. I want you to remember that I chose you.” He took my head in his large hands and lifted my face for a kiss. His kisses gave more than took. “I want to know that sense of belonging with you more than anything,” I told him. “You’ve been compassionate and such a supportive friend. But I’m scared.” “Of me?” he asked, looking worried. “No, not of you. I think we know each other well enough that there
13
Loving Will by Eve Boston is a certain level of trust already in place. We had, before we ever kissed, inside knowledge of each other. Most people don’t have that these days before they leap into a relationship—they just have small talk. We started with big talk, and that was an amazing experience into lives, minds, and hearts. I trust you enough to invite you into my home—that says a lot about what we have already.” “It was eye opening. It’s too bad that tragedy has to be the reason that people open up to each other.” “It was hard at first. I know the sessions are over, and I’m optimistic, but to tell you the truth, I still have a lot of issues. Just when I think I’m over it and can go on with my life, I walk into the baby’s room and get on a crying jag, and I’m not even able to put his things away. I need to let go of some of the private agony, especially self‐esteem issues about my lack of sex appeal. I didn’t discuss it in the group sessions, but I can tell that you would talk to me about these things and not be embarrassed. It’s been hard coming to grips with the fact that a man who I cared for never loved me and hardly ever made love with me. That’s what he said anyway. I’ve been so sad, like I might never have a lover again. I miss sex. I mourn it. Maybe as much as I mourn my child. I have baggage. I don’t know if it’s even fair to you to start a relationship.” He looked serious, thoughtful. “I want to spank you sexually,” he said, looking deep into my eyes. His words took me by surprise, and I trembled, but I didn’t look away. I was intrigued. “Why?” “I think a sexual spanking might be cathartic, cleansing, freeing for you, to be able to let go of your dark shadows and let them free to become my cares, too, to build a sense of belonging and connection.” I cringed a bit. “I have to admit I am half curious, and half petrified. I have no experience with anything but spreading my legs, closing my eyes, and waiting for the man to finish. But in my head, while it is happening, I imagine that I am loved, and that is what I miss the most, the belief that love is happening. But a sexual spanking?” “Not a punishment kind of spanking, for you have done no wrong and have no reason to fear me. I’m no dungeon master. I have been in that
14
Loving Will by Eve Boston lifestyle before, but I’m a little too emotional and sensitive to just flog the hell out of someone who I don’t know or care about. As actors say, what’s my motivation?” I lifted an eyebrow. “Somehow I can’t picture you in that lifestyle. You don’t seem the type.” “Don’t be too sure. I have retained the things from it that I believe are worthy of knowing and using with someone who I care for, to help her. Someone like you.” He ran a finger up my leg, and I shuddered with desire. “I see what you mean,” I said. He had a sense of timing and a manner of speaking and touching that did command attention. “A little. Go on.” “Back to the concept of spanking as a cathartic, healing of the spirit. I don’t mean to harm you. Far from it. I’m looking to enrich you with a different experience, which you will only associate with me, that you will grow to crave and yearn for when you think of me.” Tingles went up my spine as his arm went around me. “Are you talking about role play, such as headmaster/student, nurse/patient, or some other scenario?” He smiled. “I think both of us are a little too mature for the plaid‐skirted schoolgirl pulling down her panties for a paddling, although some men are certainly enthusiastic about the idea. I find that sort of role play a bit trite, although I might be somewhat jaded by so much of that from my previous experience. But who needs role play when I have you? The real thing is sitting here with me. You have a desire to grow sexually. I can teach you.” I blushed. “Oh, my. I thought we knew each other well, but this new concept is going a little fast for me to follow. It sounds exciting and wonderful, but I’ve never been experimental with my sex life. I thought we might come back here and have a little kissing, maybe some petting. At the very outside chance, I hoped for a little tame lovemaking. But to just let you spank away on me...?” “Do you trust me? Consider your answer. I want honesty. I demand it.”
15
Loving Will by Eve Boston I looked into his eyes, and there was compassion there, and warmth, and a very deep longing. My heart leapt with excitement. “I want to trust you. I don’t trust easily, because my ex‐husband abused me, physically and emotionally, but you seem different. I’m willing to find out who you are at a deeper level, because I like you very much. I have enough trust to take a risk, and also because I think you are worth the effort. Plus, I’m intrigued by such eroticism, such as I’ve seen in books and on the Internet.” The last, I said, almost in a whisper. “Thank you for your articulate honesty. I am different. I have the utmost compassion for women. Maybe I am a little old fashioned, but rather than a chauvinistic flaw in my character, I think of myself as a protector, a guardian of a woman. I want there to be no pretense about why you would let yourself be spanked. This is not about violence or some sort of displaced rage in me. It is all about proving our trust to each other and finding a focal point to connect. Remember the old Olivia Newton John lyric that goes, ‘Let me hear your body talk?’” “Yes. I love Olivia, and I’ve exercised to that music.” “Well. I want to hear your body talk. I want to give you a sexual spanking, one that brings to the surface all the bad things that you have ever known, and lets them go forever. If there is pain, it will be followed by pleasure, and I will take you to the heights of your physical and emotional limits so you can let go of your pain. You’ll know in your heart that every moment of your destiny is put in my hands in complete trust. It will be my responsibility. As a former Dom, I take that responsibility very seriously, to be aware of your limitations and needs. I will take all the good things that I know and teach you how to be the best that you have ever been.” I squirmed, a little wet trickle starting between my legs. “I want to trust you like that. I crave it. But I have fear. Not of you, maybe not even of a spanking, but of the emotions that might arise.” “I know that from your grief journal,” he said. His voice was silky and full of sympathy. “I can’t stand to see you go through the rest of your life without knowing what it is to belong to a man, to be cherished by him above all others, to be put on a pedestal, to be honored with the kind of
16
Loving Will by Eve Boston lavish attention that you deserve. I know what you need. I see it in your eyes that you are hurting, that you don’t believe you are good enough for anyone, and that you are drained and empty of hope.” “Don’t.” The tears rolled down my cheeks, not because I was ashamed, but because I was understood. It was humbling to be so transparent. “I have to be honest with you about what I see in you. Your need to be worthy is so evident that I have agonized over this for weeks. Finally I told myself that I want you to be fulfilled, as a woman. By me.” He kissed my cheek, and my heart opened to the possibility of him. But I was still afraid. “The pain. It was awful and it still is. I am afraid to feel that loss so deeply ever again. My child is gone. My husband never loved me. Except for you, right here, right now, I would be all alone, wondering what to do with the next part of my life. Every time I came home from therapy, I would think of you for hours. Now here you are, offering me yourself on a silver plate in a new and exciting way, almost as a life adventure.” He smiled, and we kissed, and he held me close. I said, “There is no reason right now that I am not in your lap, except that I lack confidence to let myself take the first step. I feel like a failure at life. It isn’t just the death of my son, but the divorce that has left me somewhat less of a woman. I’m very broken. I am exhausted from being sad. I don’t know if I can be what you think I can be, measure up to your hopes. I want to, but what will happen?” I stood up and walked to the window. Misty rain smeared rivulets ran down the old beveled‐glass windows. “I like rain, don’t you?” He came behind me, pressed his chest against my back, and kissed the back of my neck, his lips warm and moist, sending a thrill through me. I jolted away. “I want to. But…” “Let me in. I promise, you won’t regret it. Let yourself experience what it is like to be spanked, cherished, and treasured.” He ran his hand down my back and fondled my butt. He touched me with such delicate strokes of his fingers that I arched up into his hand and closed my eyes, wanting him to do whatever he wished to me. But
17
Loving Will by Eve Boston afraid to speak it. “Please trust me. I think perhaps your fear of intimacy in relationships might be overcome, if you can trust me to treat you as if you were the most precious and cherished being on the face of the earth. I will be with you every moment, touching, communicating, and you with me, so that you won’t be afraid, or be hurt.” “You won’t hit me in the face?” He looked affronted. “Never.” I hesitated. “I might cry. It would be embarrassing.” “You will cry, but I will hold you and stroke you, and kiss you, and not berate you for your emotions. Let them out with me. Cleanse away all the bad. Let everything go for me, with me. I want you to be able to let go with me, to trust me beyond any other human being. To be yourself.” “It will hurt.” “I’m not going to lie to you. Life hurts a lot. A cathartic spanking hurts, too, but the pain of a spanking is transitory. I’ll teach you, and I’ll guide you. I’ll nurture you to use the pain of spanking as a tool to let go of the life pain, to rise above it, into a new way of thinking. The more you can bear, the more pleasure you’ll know, and the more serene your life will become. I will teach you to find Nirvana within your own self.” “How do you know all this?” He smiled. “To train as a Dom, I had to live as a submissive for awhile. I know what it is like on both sides of the whip.” I considered this. “You did this and went to college?” “Yes. I aced most of my classes, too. You’ll grow stronger by learning to understand how pain and pleasure complement each other, and that one is the reward for the other. They are even interchangeable at times. I promise I won’t give you more than you can bear, either physically or emotionally.” “You’re not going to use a belt or anything, are you? I would be terrified. I was hurt as a child by my dad.” A look of true concern crossed his face. “Thank you for telling me. I won’t use any implements. Only my loving hand will suffice then, unless you ask for something else. A hand spanking hurts, too, which is good,
18
Loving Will by Eve Boston because then I have exacting control and can measure my strokes and know how much pressure to use and when to slow down or stop. Will you let me teach you?” “Nothing could hurt worse than my heart for the last several months.” I still hesitated. I pushed away unwelcome thoughts of the past, of the abuse and my fear. Our eyes met, and his were gentle. “It is time for the healing, for both of us.” “How would this be healing for you? I mean, as the spanker? I’m not being facetious, I’m just trying to understand what you get out of it.” “That’s a fair question. I need to be needed. I need to nurture. The blooming of you as a woman, under my guidance, will be my reward. It is so innate in me to be a hero, a trainer, a sculptor of emotion, and a caretaker. I like to bring out the best in a woman, and to make her see wonderful things in herself, as well as be connected to me. I promise that your self‐esteem is going to shoot through the roof. You’re going to forget about that asshole who convinced you that you were unworthy to be loved.” “Oh, that hurt, but you know how to tell me the truth about myself. I think that is one of the reasons I’m so drawn to you. You know me, and you care, and you don’t run away.” “I do know you. I’ve watched you, and read your journals, and interacted with you in the toughest kind of therapy. We were all naked in that room. It was harrowing for me too, but for you, the loss of an infant child of only three months—no one could fault you for being the most tragic figure there. My compassion spilled over when I went home and thought of you.” His hand explored the crack and dipped lower, so forbidden, and yes, I wanted it. He cupped my bottom through my dress. I did not pull away. “I want the pain of my life to go away. Can you make it go away?” He nodded, and there was no pretense of his intent. “Yes. But to accomplish that, pain must wash away pain. But two people are stronger together than they are alone. I won’t let you fall. I’ll catch you if you start to spiral down, I promise. I’ll hold you tight when you need it. I only ask

This is all new to you, so you’ll have to trust that I know what I am doing.” Another shuddering sigh escaped me. “I’ll be scared if I ask you to stop, or slow down, and you don’t.” “My every cue will come from your lips, and if I am to become your master, then you are my mistress, as well. I must respect and honor all of your needs, your wishes. I have a responsibility to see to it that you are never harmed from anything that we do together.” He stroked my nipples, both of them at once, and they sprang to exquisite attention. I moaned a bit, and he did it again, until I thought my knees would buckle. “What is a master?” I asked. “I don’t understand what that concept means.” “It is about belonging.” “I want to belong to you,” I admitted. “I want to know all those things that I never knew with anyone else. I want to be fulfilled.” He knelt in front of me like a knight swearing fealty and suckled my nipples hard through the silk of my summer dress and through my camisole. I was so thin from weeks of hardly eating, and didn’t wear a bra anymore because it seemed pointless. That night I had very few layers of clothing to separate my skin from his tongue. And he adored it, I could tell, that my nipples were a mere layer of cloth away from his tongue. They hardened into diamond points, and the wet fabric showed their outline as I looked down at him, kneeling at my feet, with an ardent expression on his beautiful face. “My breasts are so small,” I said in apology. “They are beautiful in every way, delicate, exquisite, like the rest of you. For weeks, months, I have wanted to touch and kiss your breasts. I swear to you, I will make you believe that you belong, in every sense of the word. I won’t take anything that you don’t wish to surrender. You’ll trust to give of yourself freely, and I’ll show my appreciation in ways that you never dreamed would be possible. It will be as Master and his sweetheart, never slave. And I don’t intend to discard you afterwards, like your loathsome husband. You are worth more than one night. Far more.
20
Loving Will by Eve Boston When a woman gives herself completely to a man, she has the right to expect something back. I want to cherish you, over and over.” My heart beat faster. “You say all these wonderful things. I want to believe you, every word. No one has ever spoken to me like this.” “You’re missing that intimate connection with a lover. The one where you can let all your cares be washed away in your own tears. I’ll kiss them away and take you to many climaxes and past the point of no return. Let down your walls for me, and I’ll show you the kingdom where you are my queen.” He stood up and kissed my cheeks, my forehead, and my lips. He began to drink me into him, more and more. My trembling heart began to hope. As he warmed my back with his hands, I bent over a little, and he drew a finger over my vulva through my panties, and I thought I felt him trace his name there. “You are so wet, my beauty. Just say the word, and we’ll belong to each other.” “Yes.” He gave my butt a little smack. I let out a yelp of astonishment. I hadn’t expected that such a thing could turn me on. Suddenly, I realized what he expected. He wanted me to call him Master. “I meant to say, Yes, Master,” I said, trying out the name. “I want to put my trust in you, to understand your love, your way. Please. Please. Spank me. At this point, I don’t think I can stand it if you didn’t. I am well past the point of saying no. I’m curious and—turned on.” “You will never be afraid again,” he promised me. “Now. Please. Oh, God, now. Take me. Please, Master.” He picked me up in his arms as if I was a feather and carried me to the bedroom. First he undid the tiny pearl buttons of my summer dress. The belt he pulled from the loops and tied my arms above me to the bedposts with it. I didn’t know that he was going to tie me, but I lay silent in the pool of the red silk of my opened summer dress, waiting, trusting. I watched him remove his clothing. He was hard, long, and thick, the veins in his cock distended with
21
Loving Will by Eve Boston the engorgement of his desire. He smelled so good. His body was solid and strong. I couldn’t take my gaze from him. Was he even going to fit in little, tiny me? He knelt between my legs and bent his body to kiss each nipple. “You have such sweet nipples, hardening for me.” “Yes, for you, Master,” I whispered. I wasn’t used to talking in bed, wasn’t sure what to expect. Talking was nice though, very nice. It made me confident that there wasn’t an awkward silence. “Panties off, darling,” he said, and I lifted my body so that he could slide them down and off. He flung them across the room after sniffing them. Then downward he went with his mouth, where he flicked my clit with his tongue, and finding it swollen with desire, sucked it delicately at first, and then harder as I tried to twist away. My ex had never done that. Neither had my high school boyfriend. “Oh, my. I don’t know about this part. No one has ever—” When I tried to twist away, he gave me the first little smack of his hand on my vulva, a sting of great pleasure, and I moaned that such a shocking thing would excite me. “Obey me. Know that I have all of your best interests at heart.” He spanked my vulva again and gave the slit a long and loving lick, tracing the folds and opening me with only his tongue. “Oh,” I said, as if my eyes had been opened and shown a bright flower. “Open your legs. There’s more to lick.” I did as he asked and arched up for it, and closed my eyes, focusing on the gentle smack, smack, smack, of his hand on my spread open womanhood, and then his tongue following the same path. I gasped in pleasure. “Good start. So good. I want to drink you. How wonderful you taste and how wet you are getting.” He ran his tongue over my tingling labia, and I moaned. He spanked my vulva a little harder, and at my gasp, he put his mouth to work again, this time inserting his tongue deep into me, and then out and
22
Loving Will by Eve Boston swirling over my clit, teasing it, then back in again. I spread my legs wider to allow him more, and whimpered. “That’s right. Open yourself to me. My mouth is on you, loving you, making you mine. You will belong to me.” “Master,” I whispered. God, the wonder of him. I never imagined anything like it. He spanked my inner thighs, and they tingled, too, as the need for orgasm spread through me. He kissed my inner thighs and flicked my throbbing clit with his thumb. He fucked me with his soft, wet, urgent tongue. I moaned and pressed into his face, enjoying being taken by him this way. It was an unknown experience, and I soaked it in, soaked him in, tried to suck his tongue into my pussy. He rammed the wet softness into me as I arched up higher and higher. “Master. I, I—” My voice welled up from some deep place as the word escaped me. “Are you all right, my little mistress?” he asked. “Yes,” tore out of my throat. “Don’t stop or I’ll scream.” “We can’t have that now, can we? If you are to scream, let it be from being fulfilled, not from being cheated.” His words made me even hotter. He rubbed my tingling thighs with his hands and gentled the strokes of his tongue, making them like tickles from a feather. I wanted his tongue inside of me again, but instead, he put my legs together and stroked my mons until I moaned, and then he smacked it. “Oh,” escaped my lips as he untied the bonds of my hands, slid a couple of pillows nearby, and asked me to roll over on them. I did as he asked, and his hands never left my skin. True to his word, I was never alone in this. We had skin‐to‐skin contact at every moment. “You’re so beautiful like this, obeying my every word. You’re perfect and beautiful.” I trembled a little as his hands rubbed me. “Don’t be afraid.” The pillows were under me, and my butt was up in the air. He tied
23
Loving Will by Eve Boston my hands to the bedrail again. Stroking feather‐light along all the length of my back, from the nape of my neck and all the way down to the bottom of my spine, his hands made swirls upon swirls of pleasure bloom and spread, both upwards and downwards. I lifted into his hands as they moved down the crack of my ass to play with my flower there. I tightened my cheeks involuntarily. “Master, no one has ever touched me there. Not even me,” I protested, clenching myself closed. “Relax. Trust Master. Spread your legs. I want to see your pussy from the back, all parts of you, even your little pink rosebud. It is all Master’s to cherish in the way that you have always longed to know, even if it was only a forbidden thought. There are no boundaries to pleasure that are wrong between us. My eyes see all of you and call it beautiful.” He stroked my legs apart. I wanted to submit to him, to let him be in control. I relaxed. He licked a finger and teased my anus a little, and I gasped with pleasure at the new sensation. “Master knows where pleasure hides.” He fingered me, not very deep, though. “Thank you, Master,” I said on a breath, not daring to admit I liked such a thing. It was such a glorious experience to be teased like that. I wanted more of it, damn me. He withdrew the tip of his finger from me, and even as a sharp smack fell and I cried out in surprise, he covered that cheek with kisses licks, the vibration of his voice murmuring encouragement against my skin. He smacked the other cheek and followed with his tongue and lips, and though it stung at first, the pleasure outweighed the pain. I sighed as he brought down another spank upon me and said how beautiful I was, and how brave. I arched up into his hands, the hands that spanked me and were making me his. He rubbed his hard cock against my butt, between my legs, and down to my throbbing clit. He stroked his cock outside of me, and I wanted him inside of me. I did. I tried to clench myself around his cock, and he spanked me again. With his other hand, he reached under me to play with my clit. I bucked against the sting of the slap and arched toward his finger as if looking forward to the pain
24
Loving Will by Eve Boston because he would follow it with pleasure. He was training me. And I loved it. He interwove the pleasure of caresses between the smacks. “Talk to me, Jane. How are you feeling?” “I don’t understand it,” I choked out, “but I need this. I need to belong to you.” Then I whimpered because he spanked a little harder and made the caresses even more sensual. “Bear it for Master. Bear it.” Smack. I felt his tender kiss, as well as strokes of his gentle hand soothing my skin. Then came a stinging hot smack. Each act was deliberate and drawn out. He was driving me wild with want. I moaned and moaned, guttural and deep from my belly, unable to stop myself. He massaged my hot and tingling butt, and I panted, wanting more. “You’re almost there. Almost there.” When he spanked me more, I arched up into it and whined like an animal. My legs started to kick, to fight him even though I wanted it more, more, more. If my hands weren’t tied, I would have had them behind me, trying to stop him, and he must have known, and that is why he tied my arms, so that I wouldn’t fight him. It hurt, but in a good way that was addictive and sensual. I was almost floating in the sensation. “It’s OK. That’s a perfectly natural fight‐or‐flight reaction. Just give into it and bear it to get past the fear.” His voice gave me courage, and he spanked me more, and I bore it and began to want it. A rush that I had never experienced began to surface. Emotions ran wild in my head as he increased the fervor of his spanking, but he never let my throbbing clit suffer a moment of inattention. He worried my clit with a saliva‐wetted finger as he spanked me, and I was wild under him, moaning, wanting it all the more. There was pain, and then pleasure, until the pain became the pleasure, melding together in a surge of thrust‐and‐parry of my body that swept me away from anything that I had ever known.
25
Loving Will by Eve Boston I cried out in pain as he got a little too enthusiastic, and he murmured an endearment and kissed me there. “The more that you bear for the sake of love, the stronger that love grows,” he whispered. “Please.” I raised my ass as he spanked and spanked and spanked. I yelped at each connection, but he continued, and I did not ask him to cease. “Good girl. Good girl. You’re giving it all up to Master.” “Yes.” I cried in earnest, tears spilling until a sob broke. Several spanks later, he untied me and pulled me into his arms. The tears streamed down my face as my butt throbbed with intense heat. He played with my nipples, confusing my pain center by pinching them and then playing with my clit. I struggled as pain and pleasure warred inside of me. “Will,” I cried. I couldn’t think. All the conflicting emotions and physical pain versus pleasure swirled in my head and in my body. I didn’t know how to tell him about my internal maelstrom. The words wouldn’t come. “Do you want me to stop?” he asked and kissed the tears from my face and eyes as he rocked me. “You bear this so well. You have courage my sweet. Come back to me and communicate. Master is here. Tell me what you need. You’re doing so well.” He was proud of me. My heart soared. “I want to go on,” I choked out. “I want to belong to you. I have to know what is at the end of this madness.” He grinned. “You were born for this, Jane. I knew you were from the moment I saw you. You were born for surrendering to a loving master.” Somehow, nothing in life had ever prepared me for wanting to be heated by the spank of a man’s hands at the same time that he impassioned my pussy. I wanted it all. “More please, Master. Everything. All that you have for me,” I begged, so afraid to continue, yet unable to stop, so intoxicating was the thrill of being spanked and seduced at the same time.
26
Loving Will by Eve Boston “Yes,” he replied, and in a voice that made me quiver, so deep was its timbre, he ordered, “speak your needs.” “Spank me, my master. Seduce me. Suck me. And please for heaven’s sake, please, please, fuck me.” “Soon,” he promised. He pulled himself into a sitting position at the top of the bed, with a pillow behind his back. His cock was huge and hard, the veins in it swelled and beautiful. I crawled up the bed to him and first kissed his lips and then kissed his beautiful cock and licked it, sucked it, till he was moaning. “Lay across my body, my sweet, so that we are a T shape.” I did as he asked, his cock hot and hard under my breasts as I put my weight on him. He pushed my head down. “Head down on the mattress, arms above your head. Ass up, please, with your weight on your knees.” Oh, he knew how to move me. I wanted him to take me, right then and there, more and more, but he delayed it, and my pussy dripped my wetness onto him and the sheets. “More spanking? Please. I want to come now. Don’t you want to fuck me?” “Not yet. I am your master, and you will obey me and trust me to choose your time of climax.” He spanked me hard, and I burst into renewed tears as he asked me to be still and bear the pain, so that I might know pleasure. I did as he asked, though I wanted to twist away. After six spanks on each cheek, he stroked my wet and dripping vulva and slipped fingers inside of me. Moans tore out of my throat, and I heard the sounds from afar, as if I was in some altered state of Nirvana. My legs shook so much that the whole bed was shaking. A giggle escaped me. “What’s funny?” “You’re making me into a human earthquake, in San Francisco.” We both laughed together, then, even with his fingers inside of me. “Focus. You’re going to peak. You’re almost there, sweetheart. Relax and let me be your master. Trust me.”
27
Loving Will by Eve Boston “I trust you,” I whispered, trying to stop my squirming legs. “Master. Please, I am begging you to finish me off. With all due respect, I can’t hold out much longer. My legs are shaking, and I might even have to pee.” “We can’t stop now, so pee the bed if you must, but you are not getting up until I say so.” He gave me a little smack. “Do you have to pee?” he asked. “No. But Master, you’re driving me to the worst thirst for an orgasm that I have ever known. I’m going to scream bloody murder if it doesn’t happen soon.” “Thank you for your honesty. Let me take you there. Let Master take you there. Shh, it’s ok, let me have control of you. You’re going to like this part. Oh look, look at your poor sweet hot pink ass.” He smoothed the hot skin, and I calmed at the soothing touch. He made pain and pleasure mix in a tapestry that was my flying carpet to places I didn’t even know existed. “I’m going to find your G‐spot. Trust Master. Don’t fight me. Spread yourself.” I opened my legs for him farther. “My uterus is inverted,” I whispered, and I heard him grunt his acknowledgment of my hint. After a few minutes of massaging, I relaxed under his hands and let him be my master as he began going deeper inside of me with his gentle and sure fingers seeking that magic spot in my backwards uterus. The pain was not unbearable because he was following the pain with pleasure. He reached deeper and deeper into me with his fingers until he found my G‐spot. I thought I was going to blow, but he was in perfect control of my passion. He began to massage my G‐spot, and sobs wrenched out of me, so low that they hurt my throat to let them escape. His other hand soothed my burning flesh and stroked it. I found myself lifting higher and higher, to enjoy the pleasure, both inside and out. “There’s my girl,” he whispered. “Let me know how you are doing. You can stop me any time.”
28
Loving Will by Eve Boston “No. Please don’t stop,” I begged. “Master.” “Reach a hand under you and rub your clit while I spank you just a little more. Do what I say, my pretty, and earn the rewards of perfect obedience.” I found my swollen, jerking pearl and furiously rubbed it while he massaged my G‐spot. I started to see stars behind my closed eyelids as he used one hand to massage me inside, while the other hand spanked me. Oh, it hurt, but so well. I thought I might die from intense pleasure. My legs kicked involuntarily again. I panted, sweat rolling from my hair, and my body was slick with moisture. I was never so hot, almost like a childhood fever of altered states, but on a higher level of euphoria. “Master,” I cried, and tears poured from me. Then came the magic of what were orgasms that spread through me from deep in my cunt, to my throbbing hard clit, to the tips of my breasts. Even my fingers and toes curled. My hands clenched the bed sheet, and I heard it rip as my fingernails went through the soft cotton fabric. “I’m coming, hard,” I said, not certain that he could understand me. “I know,” he replied. “You’re squeezing my fingers with your pussy.” “I want you to be inside of me. Please, Master. Have mercy and give me your cock.” It was something I wanted to share with him, because he had played my body like a harp and now it was singing the song that he had created. “I need you to fill me with your cock, because if you don’t, I’ll die of wanting it.” I crawled off his lap and turned over, but he would have none of it and turned me face down. He moved behind me, to enter me that way, alternately spanking and thrusting. I bucked against the throes of orgasm after orgasm, as pain and pleasure mixed into a climax of magnificent quality and quantity. “Please, Master. Face to face. I want to see your face when you come. I want to kiss your lips. I need your mouth. Please, Master.” He rolled me over and pulled me on top of him so that I straddled him.
29
Loving Will by Eve Boston “Oh,” I wept as he as pressed his cock inside of me, a piston of huge beauty, so hard and wonderful, stretching me inside to an almost unbearable point that I craved all of my sexual life. We fit, hand in glove. Sobs tore from my throat at the ecstasy of my throbbing pussy, my clit hot and pulsing, and my butt burning with the imprints of his hands. The G‐spot massage had sent me over the edge, combined with the spanking. Now as my breasts fell in his face, he sucked them, first with tenderness then harder and harder, as I writhed with pleasure on top of him, grinding myself against his pelvis. “Come together?” he asked. I nodded, unable to speak, only moan. My tears blinded me and fell on him like hot rain, splashing on his face and chest. Master spanked me more, and I tried to twist away, but he slid his little finger deep in my anus and thrust his penis deep inside of my vagina. I gave up my control and bucked against his wiggling finger in wonderment at the new sensation that heightened my senses and drove me wild. I loved it! Little whimpering sounds escaped me, and he smiled. “Sweetheart, ride the wave. Let it come. Master knows what you need. He knows.” He slid almost out of me and pushed back into my tightness, over and over, while he fingered me. I wanted more and more. “You’re so wet for me, my beauty. Surrender it all.” “Let me come, Master. Please. I’m going insane.” He roared and growled and pressed into me hard and fast, which made me gasp with joy. I know that he touched my cervix with his penis, and there was a wondrous rip in my psyche that let him into my heart. My cunt pulled as if it had strings, and my anus throbbed with an indelicate need. There was no pain, just sublime pleasure and a floaty…peace. We were connected in a new kind of oneness, and I had a deep understanding that this was different from anything I had ever experienced in my entire life. “Beautiful. Give it all to me. Come. Come.” He came inside of me, a hot, wet jet that pulsed. I said, “love”—was
30
Loving Will by Eve Boston it our unspoken safe word or just a secret desire?—I collapsed on top of him weeping, but softer now. He held me, cuddled me, and said my name and how worthy I was to earn his love. He rocked me in his arms for a long time, and when I looked into his eyes, he had tears, too. “That’s my girl. You’re beautiful. You’re mine. You now belong to your master who loves you.” The sadness poured out of me in great heaving sobs, and he inhaled them with his kisses. He kissed the tears from my eyes, my cheeks, and where they had run down my breasts. He kissed me from head to toe, turned me over and kissed me from nape of my neck to my toes, all the time murmuring my name and saying tender things that no one had ever said to me before. “You’re all right. You’re free now, aren’t you? Of the darkness.” “Yes,” I said, and we kissed until we were breathless. The miasma of depression, terror and tragedy was lifting. It started to recede, as if darkness and death had ceased, not to exist, but to have power over me. Not years, not tragedy, not even others who came before—nothing could ever erase the way that he knew how to make me his. He did so with the kindest and fondest hand that ever touched my heart, or my throbbing skin. I would never be afraid again, of anything, because now, I belonged to him. As if he knew, he said, “You’re mine. I see it in your face and taste it in your tears. You are both mine and free. From now on. But never forget that you are worthy. Being worthy means that no one can break your spirit ever again. No one else can wreck your self‐esteem. You are deserving of a great love and a great life. You are your own strong woman, who belongs to herself as well as to me. I am so proud of what you were willing to bear for the sake of healing. I am honored and humbled by you, that you allowed me to be your master. That was hard won, very hard won. I am so proud of how courageous you were to see it through. How good you are. How beautiful you are, down to your very spirit.” We kissed, and I was somehow sealed to him in every way where a
31
Loving Will by Eve Boston woman knows that she is one with a man. I saw myself reflected in his eyes, naked from the very depths, smiling, and there was this serene sense of belonging to someone who cared about me. I had crossed a terrible bridge of my life, and he had led me to this place of peace, to a new life where I believed in myself and would be cherished and connected. “Thank you. My butt hurts like hell, but I’m cleansed, just as you promised. It was cathartic, above anything that I ever imagined.” “I’m glad. You deserve joy, more than any woman I have ever known.” “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Did I say thank you?” He laughed. “I’m glad you’re happy. Because you are mine, now.” “Does this make you mine, as well?” I asked. He kissed the end of my nose. “Yes. I am yours. But I’ve been yours since the moment I first saw you several months ago. I just knew that I had to wait until you were ready.” I smiled, and he pulled me close in his arms, against his heart, which beat against my cheek strong and steady. I was safe, for the first time in my life. “How did you know when I was ready?” “Masters know these things,” he replied, as if that answered the question. I tried to think of something besides my throbbing pussy and butt, and my engorged nipples. “Just a minute ago, did you say that you loved me?” I asked. “I didn’t want that to slip by without acknowledgment from my quarter.” “Yes. I did say that.” I sighed with utter fulfillment. “You don’t need to say it back, not until you know the moment is right. Now, go to sleep.” He held me to his heart until I fell asleep. I don’t think I had ever been more spent in my life, waiting for my limbs to stop trembling, so that I could rest. I was never surer of anyone than I was of Will Sweet.
32
Loving Will by Eve Boston This, our first night together, was only the beginning of us.
33
Loving Will by Eve Boston
Playing with Will I woke up in the middle of the night. He was dressed, with surgical gloves on, rubbing something soothing on me as I lay face down on the cool sheets. Groggy, I asked, “What are you doing?” “I went home to get some cream for you. I got up to use the bathroom and saw how red and swollen you were, so I got dressed, ran to my house, checked on the boys, grabbed some things, and came back.” “In the middle of the night? Ow. Ow,” I cried. “My butt’s on fire.” “I know. I’m sorry. That’s why I ran home to get this for you.” I let him rub the cream into my skin. “Mmmm, hey, that’s helping. What is that stuff?” “It is called EMLA. It is a topical anesthetic that numbs an area. My wife was a tattoo and piercing artist. She left behind a lot of this kind of stuff. It works great on surface pain.” “Oh, that’s why you have the gloves on? Otherwise your hands would go numb from applying it?” “That’s right.” “Mmm, thank you, Will. I mean, Master.” “You’re welcome. You don’t have to call me Master all of the time. You’ll know when it is appropriate and appreciated. Never as an afterthought, but always a heartfelt point of surrender and respect.” “I’m beginning to understand what concepts you have taught me from your former life as a Dom. I’m sure that the high level of
34
Loving Will by Eve Boston responsibility for others is part of what makes you such an amazing lover, as well as a father. Speaking of that, you should go home to your little boys. I don’t want to be a subtraction from your life. I only want to add to it.” “That is very astute and unselfish. I know you are right. I want to be there when they wake up. At eight and thirteen, they’re old enough to know why a man might stay out all night, and I am not ready to tell them all about you yet, though I have mentioned you at least a dozen times in the last few months. But I wanted to come back here, to make sure that you know that I care, that this isn’t a one‐night stand, that I will be back. I wish there were three of me. One to care for the boys, one to love you, and one to tend to my education and earn a living. Argh, torn. But I love all of it. Are you going to be able to walk?” I rose on one elbow. “I am somewhat better.” “Do you want to do it again sometime?” I laughed. “Not tonight. My butt has a headache.” He laughed. “You’re funny. That’s not anything that I saw in the last few months and I must say, I am pleasantly surprised.” “Well, I guess if a man gets my panties off, spanks the hell out of me enough to make me cry, makes love to me with his entire being, and professes his love and devotion at the end of the night, the very least I can do is cough up a joke for him the morning after.” He grinned. “What time is it?” I asked, yawning. “Something like four a.m.” I sat up. “Now I do have to pee. Be right back.” I walked into the bathroom. “You left the seat up. I think someone needs a spanking,” I teased, and heard his chuckle from the bedroom. “You’ll get your turn,” he promised. When I came out, he had the lamp on at my little desk in the bedroom and appeared to be studying. “Are you cramming for a test today?” He cleared his throat. “It is much worse than that. Today is the day that I will be defending my dissertation. I submitted it a month ago, and
35
Loving Will by Eve Boston today is the presentation of my findings, which is also a defense in reply to the committee’s questions.” “Tell me you’re freaking kidding.” “If only. So I hope you don’t mind if I study. I’ll watch over your sleep for a couple more hours, then run home for breakfast with the boys, and then to school. And then I go to a part‐time job. Then dinner with the boys. Then, if possible, back here tonight? I am sure you are tired and sore, but I thought I might come over and we’ll cuddle and talk about everything.” “What utter madness. How can you juggle all that today after getting all that action last night?” “With great motivation,” he replied, and kissed me. “And a fantastic live‐in nanny.” “You are so amazing,” I said. “Likewise,” he replied. “Go back to sleep. I’ll be right here, preparing my last minute thoughts for today’s dog‐and‐pony show.” “Wow. Good luck, today.” “Thanks. I know my material. I just like to rehearse in my mind before I go.” I realized he wanted me to be quiet, but I couldn’t quell the need to say something about our relationship. We hugged. “Will, I—” “Don’t say it till you know you’re ready. I am not pushing you to assign any labels that commit you to anything before we’re both ready. My dire situation as a single father and an almost‐post‐doc should have nothing to do with what you were about to suggest. Though, I am touched that you’d love to save me from my crazy life by proposing marriage after one hell of a spanking and plenty of lovemaking.” “Right. Master knows when I’m ready.” “So, you were listening.” He smiled at me, and I was surprised at how much he knew me already. I swayed, and he held my hand and led me to the bed. “Lay on your side. Here, let me arrange the pillows for you. I need to study. You need to sleep.”
36
Loving Will by Eve Boston “Is your nanny sexy? I want to know who this fantabulous woman is.” “She’s sixty‐four years old, and she’s a divorcee who dresses like a flamboyant flamingo. She has loved my boys from birth. When her husband left her for a younger woman, she just couldn’t afford to live on her own. Coincidentally, my wife died that same month. I had an extra bedroom and offered her a job and a place to live for as long as she wanted. It is a good fit for all of us. And the sexiest thing about her is that she makes a pot roast on Fridays that melts in your mouth.” I giggled. “OK, I’m satisfied. Where did you find this angel of mercy?” “Truth? She’s my mother‐in‐law. Or was. Now she’s just the boys’ grandmother.” “Oh.” I tried to fathom his dead wife’s mother living with them and how I could possibly be comfortable inserted into that situation. “I was going to tell you, just not yet. But now that the cat is out of the bag, I do respectfully request that you not overanalyze the presence of my mother‐in‐law in my home. She’s charming, delightful, and she loves Willie and Christopher to pieces. I’m sure you will get along with her, when the opportunity arises to have a cute meet with her. Rest now. Stop worrying about Edith Flowers. She is no threat to you or our relationship.” “OK,” I murmured and dozed off, while listening to him turn the pages of his papers and make notes on his legal pad with a mechanical pencil that squeaked a bit. When I awoke, he was gone, and there was a note in the kitchen, sitting next to a local bakery muffin in a white‐and‐pink striped paper bag, and a bottle of apple juice, which he had placed, unopened, in a glass of ice. The note said, Please eat this magic chocolate chip muffin, Janie‐who‐I‐love. Your hipbones were stabbing me last night—Kisses, Will. I laughed out loud and devoured his little breakfast with true appetite. I had to sit on a little pillow though. Um, yeah, there was that souvenir of the best spanking of my life.
37
Loving Will by Eve Boston While he was gone, I had my acrylics out, doing an illustration for a goth fashion magazine. I was standing at my easel, and realized that I didn’t know his phone number, or where he even lived. “Oh,” I said out loud in dismay, a tad abandoned. Until I went back to the bedroom, looking for any shred of him, and there was another note that answered all of those questions, as if he knew I would think of it and worry. I was floored. The note lay on top of my crumpled red silk dress that I picked up off the floor. I held the dress to my breasts and said aloud, “This is going to be so hard with your education and your boys and me. I hope there is really room for me. I hope. I hope. I hope.” That night, as promised, he came back. At ten o’clock. I knew he would be late, though. I had taken three naps during the day and was well rested. We kissed, and the first thing out of my mouth was, “How did the defense of your dissertation go?” He broke out in a big grin, and said, “It went so well, I almost came.” We laughed like crazy. It was great. He was so happy that I thought he was doing to dance a jig. “I got my piece of paper with the signatures of the committee on it. I am a Ph.D. now. I’m finished with school and ready to take my parchment out into the world and do crazy things with it.” “That’s fantastic. Congratulations.” “Thank you. Now comes the daunting part of life, when one leaves the padded walls of academia and heads for the real dog‐eat‐dog world. By the way, how’s your butt, darling?” “I had to stand up all day, painting at my easel,” I said, “so I’ll thank you very much to be gentle tonight, Master. I have some illustrations due in a couple of days, and I have to be able to walk into a magazine office and sit down. I’m mostly better now, just a bit stiff, so don’t add to it tonight. Let’s just hang out? Please?” “I had the same idea. How about a massage for you, from me, a chick movie that I promise I will watch with you in bed, and lots of cuddles and pillow talk?”
38
Loving Will by Eve Boston “Could you be any more perfect?” “Yes, I could.” He held up a brown paper bag. “I brought the movie on DVD, and I brought microwave popcorn. The poor man’s date.” “What’s the movie? What’s the movie?” “Princess Bride. Have you seen it?” “Eight million times, but never with you. Can’t wait.” “Aw, now who could be any more perfect?” He put his arm around me, and we walked to the bedroom where I had fresh sheets on the bed, and he noticed. Pinch me, but I thought I had died and gone to heaven. We played footsie all during the movie, and Will gave me a wonderful massage that had me groaning with pleasure as he worked out all the kinks from last night and explained that my tensing up had worked muscles that I rarely used, and that a relaxed attitude next time would serve me well. All of the spank marks were gone, save a couple of finger marks that looked to be small bruises, and he kissed them and cooed over me until I was pampered. “Don’t do it that hard again. Please? I had a heck of a time today.” “I promise I won’t, unless you ask me to. Anyway, that was a cathartic spanking, which is the second‐most serious type, and has to be carefully administered to make sure you know it was not a punishment in any way.” I grimaced. “Are there punishment spankings?” “Oh, yes, but only for something quite grievous. I am a loving master, and you are obedient. We should never need to go there, correct?” He looked at me without a glimmer of humor, and my butt clenched. “No, Master. We will never need to go there.” He covered me with the sheet. “I had a wonderful time tonight. I’m so relaxed after such a tough day.” “Me, too. Are you leaving?” I tried to not to pout. “I’m going to sleep at home. I need to go over Willie’s math homework with him in the morning. He’s just finishing up summer school tomorrow, and he’s so nervous that he might have an answer wrong. He’s a perfectionist, and he’s taking a summer high school trigonometry class
39
Loving Will by Eve Boston for fun, even though he’s only thirteen. And I promised Christopher I would look at the robot he’s building from a kit, to see why it doesn’t work. Chris doesn’t always follow directions exactly. Chris is the easier child because he is so laid back. Willie is so Type A.” “Maybe I can meet them soon?” He smiled but ignored my hint. “I also have one more grueling day at my part‐time job—it is my last day there—so I need sleep or I’m going to bomb tomorrow, and like Willie, I’m a perfectionist. I’m finishing up a project, and it’s tied into my research, so I’m all in at trying to manifest graceful endings this week so I can begin new things.” He gave me a meaningful look, and I realized that I was a part of his new life, post‐doc. “I understand,” I replied. And I did. “By tomorrow night, I should be all finished my part‐time job, at least I hope so. Would you like to go out and celebrate? I’ll spend the whole night with you tomorrow if you like.” “I would love that.” I sat up in bed and let the sheet fall from my breasts, hoping to encourage him to stay longer. He leaned over and kissed each breast in turn, slowly and with tenderness. “Is that what you wanted?” “Yes, thank you. What should I wear tomorrow, and what time?” “A dress, but pretty, not slutty.” “Excuse me? I don’t own slutty clothes. How dare you?” He grinned. “Perhaps we’ll have to get you some for other occasions then.” I rolled my eyes in mock horror. “No panties on you, and wear high heels, please. If you have a garter belt and real stockings, oh la la, you’ll find out how much I like that. Should we say eight‐ish?” I grinned. “It’s a date. I do have something to wear. It still has the price tags on it, so it has no memories of other occasions.” “Mmm, baby, I can’t wait.” Will kissed me goodbye and left, then surprised me when he came back in my house with the key I had given him and kissed me again to say, “Thank you for the house key.”
40
Loving Will by Eve Boston I grinned. He grabbed the rental movie to return it. I had forgotten, but he didn’t. Apparently, he didn’t forget details. Then he was gone again into the night, locking my front door behind him. I put out the bedside light and let his well‐done massage take me to my rest. I needed it. * * * * * The next evening, he used his key to come in while I was still getting ready for our dinner out. I fluffed up my hair. “How did it go today?” “Very well. Thank you for asking. I think we’re all finished. It was a grind, but it’s done, and now I’m free for the rest of the summer, except for interviews for a real job in my field. I can’t wait. The world is my oyster. All that I have worked for is coming together. The icing on the cake, there’s you.” “Congratulations.” I stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss. And he gave me one, and then we gave each other mutual kisses. “Let me look at you.” He held me at arm’s length. I was wearing a white crochet and eyelet baby doll mini‐dress with long belled sleeves from Victoria’s Secret. Underneath, I had donned a crisscross laced white merry widow with attached garters and nude silk stockings. The shoes were my favorite high‐heeled ankle strap stilettos in white. I’d given myself a fresh manicure and pedicure with clear polish. A small crocheted handbag completed my outfit, and my hair was fluffy and sassy. I believed that I was pretty for the first time in a long time, and his approving look added to my confidence. It was the first time I had gotten dressed up since my son died, but now, instead of dressed in black, I was wearing white. “My God. You are a fairy tale come to life. You’re a vision fit for being elected Princess. If I wasn’t so famished, you should be my food and drink right this very moment.” “Thank you, Master.” We smiled at each other.
41
Loving Will by Eve Boston “Are you wearing panties?” “You asked me not to. I obeyed you to the letter.” “You’re obedient, and you’re mine.” He ran a hand up my leg, under my dress, and traced my shaved bare vulva with bold fingers. I gasped. It was sheer joy to be his, claimed like that without preamble. “You’re not going to do that at the restaurant, are you?” I asked. He gave me the wickedest look, and I gulped. Obviously, he had that in mind. I was both excited and dismayed. I had butterflies in my tummy. We took the cable car and got off near my favorite cafe on Market Street, holding hands while we walked. I tried not to gasp as the evening air swirled under my dress and swished the fabric around my bare genitals. Will’s large hand enclosed mine, and, when I thought I might let go, he grasped it more possessively and said, “Oh, no you don’t. You’re mine now. Or, is it really I who am yours?” A tingle spread though me as our interlaced fingers squeezed tight. While we sat at the coffee bar waiting for a table, I asked him, “So tell me about your dissertation.” “Ah, small talk.” “That’s right. We have to have small talk sometime. We can’t ravish each other while we wait for a table,” I whispered. “I want to know more about you.” “In a nutshell, my dissertation is on genetic memory. I believe that we retain memories of our ancestors and that the latent memories are stored in our cellular makeup.” “Tell me more. I believe in reincarnation and have done some past life regressions. My belief is a spiritual awakening of self, and yours is a scientific one, but still.” “What if science and spirit are one and the same? Just because you have had these experiences without the help of any laboratory experiments doesn’t mean there isn’t a scientific connection. Perhaps science is or isn’t the root of spirit, but what if the belief system that people embrace is what they can process as faith? For some people, it
42
Loving Will by Eve Boston would seem too complicated to have a scientific explanation when an invisible deity would conveniently wrap up all the loose ends in a sacred book that evolves over time.” “That’s very intellectually intriguing. I’d love to talk to you more about it.” “I’d love to tell you, another time, though, Janie. I just finished up my dissertation defense and my mind needs a rest from the topic, especially tonight. I want to be with you and enjoy the sweeter things in life, the simple pleasures.” I smiled. “So much for small talk. I never was very good at it. Deep‐reaching philosophical discussions and meaningful lovemaking are more my style, it seems.” He smiled. “Another time we’ll delve into intellectual subjects, but not while our appetites in the physical world have not yet been sated. Tonight is ours.” “Yes, Master.” “I think what I am celebrating tonight is us. How we fit. I know that I thought you were the icing on my cake, but I am starting to realize that you are the cake.” “Could you be any sweeter?” “I think I can,” he replied. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer. He laid his hand on my knee. We were in full view of the entryway, and he slid his hand up my thigh, while I mouthed the word no. He held in a laugh and shook one finger at me in warning. “The tablecloth hides what we’re doing,” he whispered in my ear. “Open your legs for Master.” I did as he asked, and my wicked reward was his fingers stroking my naked sex. In the restaurant. We kissed, a tongue kiss of sexual longing, and there was no mistaking that we were connected. His tongue was still warm from sipping cappuccino, and I licked a bit of cream from his lips. I was ridiculously happy to be kissing this handsome man in public. He sent the signal to everyone around us that he chose me. A little thrill went through
43
Loving Will by Eve Boston me. The maître d’ walked over to us and cleared his throat, and we broke our kiss. He withdrew his hand from between my legs and licked the tip of his finger. My face burned with embarrassment. “Dr. Sweet?” Will nodded. “Dr. Sweet, your table is ready.” Hand in hand, we followed him to a small table that overlooked the bay. The table was perfect. Flowers, crystal, real silver. The company was perfect, and I knew the food at my favorite cafe would be perfect, as well. He must have remembered, from my grief journal, how I loved this place and would come here to eat and watch the sun dip into the sea. All by myself. When I first came to San Francisco. Before I met my husband, this was my favorite place to eat. Will held my chair for me and eased it in, then took the chair next to me instead of across the table. He drew my hand into his lap under the tablecloth and gave me a knowing look. I stroked his incredible hardness through the fabric of his trousers, gave his cock a little squeeze, and added a flirty wink. Dinner was going to be fun. * * * * * Later, our appetites were sated with crab legs dipped in butter, which we licked from each other’s fingers. Both of us were more than warm from fondling each other under the table with buttery fingers. His trousers were unzipped, and his hand was under my dress, tickling and teasing me. We shared a chocolate mousse dessert, feeding it to each other from tiny silver spoons, and played footsie under the table, both of our shoes off. My silk stocking‐clad toes crept up his pants legs to torture him, and my hands were just as naughty as his. We were wicked in public, and it was delicious to fondle and tease each other. I tried to pay the cafe bill, but he wouldn’t hear of it and spirited away the waiter with his own credit card. After dessert, we rustled a bit under the cover of the tablecloth to adjust our clothing, and then went for a walk along the bay to stretch our
44
Loving Will by Eve Boston legs and digest our food. We stopped in a few shops, things that were open late, to do a little shopping. In a little mom‐and‐pop import shop, he bought me a red silk kimono with a koi fish print. “Would you wear it for me, later?” he asked as I modeled it for him in the store, over my clothes. Color rose to my cheeks. “Yes, of course,” and we kissed like new lovers do. I was special with him, in a way that I never had been with my ex‐husband. We stopped to rest my feet next to the sparkling moonlight on the Bay. I slid my feet out of my impractical shoes and thought about what we began to discuss earlier. “Not the dissertation, but please, tell me more about your work interests. I’m an amateur science hound, and I read Scientific American and Wired magazine. It sounds like you have something very interesting happening, professionally.” “I want to someday have my own company where we do research on genetic memory.” “You mean like in Frank Herbert’s Dune books?” “You’ve got it.” “I believe in past lives,” I said, “but I’ve always thought of it more as a metaphysical experience, spiritual, more than physical or scientific.” “What if I told you that everything that makes up your cells in your body have the ability to remember your ancestors through your present physical being? That all of the people who are into past life regression, including you, instead of thinking of it as developing your metaphysical cognitive abilities to remember past lives, are really just reaching into your own DNA and pulling out answers?” “Sounds like sci‐fi.” He laughed. “No, it is pure science, though still a gray area for most professionals, but within a couple of years, I should be able to publish and market something substantial. Even sooner, if I can get a job that I applied for—they should make a decision on my proposal any day now. I am so close to becoming. Things today were just one step closer to my dream.” “Wow.” My mind raced. “How do you do that? Like breed mice to
45
Loving Will by Eve Boston remember stuff in future generations?” “My, you are clever. Yes, I did start out that way, years ago, teaching rats to solve a special maze, over and over, and not changing it, just making them run it time after time. Their descendents were able to do the maze much faster than their non‐descendents, which we used for the control group. In effect, the descendents remembered what was hardwired into their brains.” We sat on a bench facing the dark water and watching the party boats go by on the calm water. The hairs rose on the back of my neck in realization of what he was revealing. “That’s fantastic. Twenty years. So I suppose you are up to some work with people now, instead of rodents.” He laughed. “What are you doing? Reading my mind, or my dissertation?” “Neither,” I replied. “I’m just extrapolating it all out in my mind. You are doing something with people, right? To prove that genetic memory exists?” “Yes.” “Please tell me. I mean, I would love to hear all about it.” “I can’t tell you. I have to keep some critical research information pretty close to my vest, right now, anyway. It is imperative that I do.” I exhaled a breath. “I do a lot of past life regression. I’m no scientist. I am way on the other side, and maybe some people would consider me a crackpot for believing in past lives, channeling, angels and spirits.” “I wouldn’t,” he assured me, stroking my hand. Suddenly, I saw a river of souls in his eyes. Why hadn’t I noticed it before? “What if there was something special about me, genetically, that would connect my past life memories and your experiments and research? Something that would prove that I wasn’t making it up about my past lives?” He folded his arms, considering my words, weighing them. “Like what?” “Well, last year my fashion magazine illustrations weren’t selling too well, and I entered a research study that I got paid very well for. They
46
Loving Will by Eve Boston were looking for a specific genetic makeup for creating an HIV vaccine. I have what they sought.” “Are you telling me that you have the CCR5‐delta 32 gene?” “Yes, I do. I gave my blood and some tissue samples. I was told that I have a double CCR5‐delta 32. Not only did my ancestors survive the Black Plague and smallpox, but my current genetic mutation means that if I was ever exposed to HIV, I would be completely immune to it. I’m a genetic anomaly.” Will scrutinized my face. “That genetic makeup is amazing, and so rare. But how do you propose to tie in your prove‐able genetic markers with me proving that genetic memory exists?” “I remember some of my past lives. Even some of my names and where I lived. With some time and genealogical research, I might be able to travel to some places to help you prove that genetic memory isn’t just sci‐fi but pure science.” He leaned back against the bench. I could tell he was pretty stunned. “All of my life, people made fun of me, any time that I brought up memories of past lives and wanted to talk about it. Now here you are, setting out to prove, scientifically, that genetic memory exists. It is like some sort of redemption is in the works to disprove me being thought of as Crazy Jane.” “You’re not crazy. I know you very well from our therapy group, and from spanking you and making love to you. You’re very emotionally expressive, and sexually blooming, and intelligent, but crazy? Not even close.” We kissed under the moonlight, and the moment was magical. “Is it even OK if I believe in magic?” I asked. “You can believe in whatever you want. Just be true to yourself.” We held each other, not kissing, just looking in each other’s eyes. “I am safe to be myself with you,” I said at last, since he was lost in thought, and I wanted to bring him back to me. “Every time we are together, more of you is revealed, and we peel back the layers of skin to who we are underneath, you and I. The more I
47
Loving Will by Eve Boston know you, the more there is to want to know about you.” I stroked his thigh, and he smiled as my hand found his cock in the dark and stroked him through the fabric of his trousers. He twirled a curl of my hair around his index finger and kissed me. There was the pull of him, wooing me, as his tongue entered my mouth, and he used my hair for a leash to reel me into his face. “Home. Now. I want to immerse myself in you, in every way.” “We should,” I agreed. “You are very rich inside your psyche. I want to know everything that makes you tick. I want to push all your buttons. When the time is right, I want you to push mine. I want our souls to be naked. This isn’t an affair.” He paused. “It is love.” “I’m afraid to say the words. I’m afraid if I say them at the wrong moment, that it will evaporate this new live adventure that we just began.” “Then we’ll make ‘I love you’ your safe words, and the only time you want me to stop what I am doing, then you’ll say the three words that are on the tip of your tongue.” “Will,” I protested. “Master.” I heard the ding‐ding of the trolley coming closer, and I held his hand as we hurried to the cable car stop. “You’ll hear my safe words. I just don’t know when.” * * * * * By the time we got back home, the weather had turned wet. A cold rain poured from the sky, drenching us. Luckily, our purchases were in plastic bags, but we were cold and wet to the skin, rain running down our backs in icy rivulets. My wet dress was transparent from the rain, and I was horrified to realize that my lack of underpants showed the world the shape of my pussy. I held my purse in front of me, even as my wet dress clung to my crack. Back at my house, a trail of wet clothing and shopping packages
48
Loving Will by Eve Boston led from the front door, to the bedroom, to the bathroom. There was no pretense now, no nervousness or doubt in either of our minds that we were going to make love again, and it was going to be wonderful. We were cold though, and after brief stops at the toilet, we jumped in a hot shower together, to get warm as much as to play. And what a sweet play it was, washing each other and kissing, caressing, then toweling off each other. “Put that laced corset thing and the stockings back on. Hook up the stockings to the garters and pull the corset down so I can see your breasts peeking over the top.” I did as he asked, and he rewarded me by sucking on my breasts and caressing my vulva. “Mmm,” I said. He snapped one of the garters. “Ow,” I said in surprise, and then the sting left behind gave me a wicked thought. I was betrayed by my grin. He play‐pinned me against the bathroom wall and snapped the garters against the backs of my legs until I gasped and tried to push him away. We were laughing and play spanking each other. “Oh, your butt is hard,” I teased. “I just hurt my hand spanking you.” “I exercise mine. Yours is certainly soft,” he replied. “I think it needs another spanking. Oh, I adore the delicious torture of snapped elastic on bare skin. I wonder if Victoria’s Secret had any idea that garters didn’t only look sexy, but are perfect for a bit of fetish spank play?” “I’m sure that Victoria’s Secret knows exactly what they’re doing,” I said around a giggle. He swatted me with his hand. “Enough silliness. Time to submit to your lord and master,” he scolded, but the corner of his mouth lifted in amusement. “Please, Master,” I said on a breath. “Take your pleasure.” We walked to the bedroom. I expected immediate sexual intercourse, but he had other plans for me. He sat on the bed and grabbed me, putting me over his knee.
49
Loving Will by Eve Boston “No,” I teased in mock horror. He snapped the garters against me while I pretended to kick away. He bent over me and my giggles got even worse, especially when he nibbled. “Stop laughing. You’re making a mockery of your master.” “You’re tickling me, damn it. I can’t help it.” He snapped the garters quite a few more times until I said, “Ow. You’re hurting me, Master,” and he did stop fooling around and turned to me with a serious eye and said, “Take everything off now. That was playful and fun, but now I want to see you stripped. I want to fuck you with my tongue. You must be trained to obey my every wish. There is a time to be silly and play with me, and a time to submit yourself unconditionally. This time is the latter.” “Yes, Master.” A thrill went through me that he might even spank me more. Even though the backs of my legs and butt were already stinging with welts from the elastic snapping, I needed more of that spank play. The endorphins from spankings were quite addictive. He closed the bedroom window to shut out the cold, rainy wind, and moved across the room with his limbs of masculine grace, wintry alabaster‐toned skin stretched drum‐tight across his rippling but well fleshed ribs and abdomen, his well‐toned arms and legs covered with the silky hair that had its own special softness, its own scent, its own compelling allure. He was very hard, his beautiful shaft tight and high, veined like delicate artwork, and his testicles high and firm. These were the only parts of his skin that were dusty pink, not alabaster. His manhood almost touched his navel, so intent was he on becoming one with me. He pulled back the covers to the bed and slipped in next to me, still shivering a bit from our drenching in San Francisco weather. I saw his diamond‐hardened nipples pinpointed and erect from the cold, so I moved my hands over his chest, and suckled his nipples back and forth to warm them. He sighed, and then pulled the layers of many covers back up over both of us so we shared the warm cocoon of my bed, which is the place I hoped that he would begin to think of as his home away from home.
50
Loving Will by Eve Boston “This is so amazing, to have you here,” I said. “If I didn’t have to, I would never let you leave my bed. Ever. I would just tie you up and keep you a prisoner.” “You’ll get your turn at being dominatrix when I think you’re ready.” “Really?” I asked, delighted. “Yes.” “Master, I just can’t hide my glee that when you think I am ready, I’ll be allowed to torment you without mercy.” He gave me a love pat on the ass, and I bent into his hand and waited for more. He smiled and murmured love words that were just for me, unexpected things like, “You were a good girl to not wear panties to dinner, and to let me finger you in the restaurant, and play with me under the table. You are mine, because I know now that you will risk anything to please me. Your breasts are mine, your lips are mine, and your pussy is mine. I want to fill you with my tongue and my cock and my heart. Let me in.” My answer was to press my lips to his, letting him know that whatever he desired would be his. Even as my lips were on his, my hands stroked his nipples into hardness, not from cold, now, but from excitement. Oh, I loved this man’s sweet nipples. They were responsive in my mouth and changed their shape under my hands and fingers. Will kissed me hesitantly. “Master Will.” I said his name because one should always say a lover’s name in the bedroom, so that person knows they are special to you. I had read that in his journal, and it stuck with me like a mantra. He said my name back to me like an urgent prayer that didn’t sound like a master, but like a man. “Love me.” There was so much beauty in his plea, so much warmth, pent passion and unselfishness, that unexpected tears sprang to the corners of my lashes. He, with half‐closed eyes, saw that, and kissed the corners of my eyes, a soft, compassionate sound rolling up from his throat as he did so.
51
Loving Will by Eve Boston “Why are you crying, my sweet?” “Because you are so tender that I can’t help myself. No one has moved me like you do. No one.” His lips turned fervent on mine, his tongue was on a quest for all of the secrets of my mouth. We wrapped our arms around each other, under the weight of the layers of covers. My lips and tongue matched his, stroke for stroke, kiss for kiss, until we panted from kisses and touched our tongues with our mouths open, twisting them together and apart. Our breath puffed into each other’s mouths in the cold damp air of my bedroom, the rain hissing to the ground outside, covering up whatever noise we might make. For extra atmosphere, a rolling thunder moved in over the city, giving us permission and freedom to shout out our joy if necessary. He pressed into my belly, the soft silk of the hair on his legs buffing the smoothness of my legs with exquisite tenderness, and his cock probed my flesh, as if it had a mind of its own. “What do you want of me, Master?” I asked him. “Everything,” he said on a breath, his voice always a harsh tortured sound when he said that word in answer to that question. “I want you to give me all of you, and more, more than you even know you possess.” “Yes, Master. I will.” I smiled and touch his kind face and looked into the hazel eyes that were the colors of the deep love rivers of my heart. “Where should I start ‘the everything’ tonight?” I asked. He knew, I’m sure, that he could ask for anything and I wouldn’t have denied him. I trembled, wondering what he would want. We were new lovers, getting to know each other’s bodies and rhythms. Needs, desires, both light and dark. “Soixante‐neuf,” he whispered, and heard my eager intake of breath as a reply. Even the way he said it was sexy, rich, and dripping with hot wetness, not just sixty‐nine but soixante‐neuf, in French. I trembled at the thought of him doing this to me, again, but now I had to figure out how to do it for him at the same time. Oral sex was still so new to me. “The other night, when you kissed me there, you both devastated me and elevated me with the same act of your tongue inside of me. I want
52
Loving Will by Eve Boston to please you like that, too. Show me how.” “It is so simple, my sweetheart. Whatever I do to you, enjoy it with every bit of yourself, and mirror it on me. Sixty‐nine, the number. Think of how the nine looks like a backwards and upside down six.” “Yes, I see it in my mind. We reflect each other’s actions, backwards and upside down.” “I knew you were a clever girl,” he said, and disappeared under the covers. I followed him. Then we were both under the covers, even our heads. The blankets and duvets were a pleasure dome of warm wrappings to protect us from the chilly room. It also separated us from everyone and everything else in the entire world. In the pleasure dome, there was only us, not his work, not small talk, not food, not drink, not guilt or sorrow over the dead—only his body and mine, getting ready to go on the cleaved journey to euphoria and ecstasy. We turned around under the blankets, head to each other’s feet, and started with kissing each other’s toes and worked our way toward each other’s centers of pleasure. I lost my internal compass in the dark of the pleasure dome and didn’t know if my head was at the head of the bed, or the foot, or the sides. I shuddered in anticipation of pleasure as he worked his way up my legs, nipping along the insides of my thighs to make my legs part for him. I gasped at the electricity of this sensation, as it was both pleasurable and painful. He knew me already, recognized that I was a sensualist. It was true—I was a slave to the goddess of pleasure mixed with pain. I nipped his inner thighs to mirror him, and he gasped as well. If our lovemaking can’t be intense with both pain and pleasure, I would rather do without than miss the sensations of both wanting something and trembling in fear that I would get exactly what I want. Soon, I forgot what an internal compass was, or upside down or right side up. He made me forget the world, the cold of the room, everything but
53
Loving Will by Eve Boston his tongue and lips and his fingers. His silky voice instructed me to do his bidding, encouraging me when I did, to open myself for his mouth and arch myself into him, give myself over to his will without reserve. So enthralled was I in him that it was very little effort to mirror him as I began to connect with his movements on a subconscious level. I matched his every movement on my body with my own lips and tongue and hands on his, and even in his. Yes, I put a finger inside of him, just a little, and he groaned when I also filled my lips and mouth and throat with his beautiful cock. “Soixante‐neuf,” he breathed into my very apex. I shuddered with joy and granted him greater access to what he wished. I whispered the words against his beautiful, erect cock. If there was a light under the covers, he would have seen my flower petals pink and opening and shining with my own dew. But it was dark. I drew his silken shaft into my mouth and partway down my throat, for I wanted to swallow him, all of him, his flesh, his seed, his skin, his very heart. The taste of him was a heady joy, like the sea and cinnamon, even like honey. Somehow, I knew that he was going to be mine for a long time, and so there were no holds barred, no request that would be denied him. I gave him the most of everything that I imagined he wanted, that he voiced, and that he did. If he asked me to press my sweet pinkness into his mouth, I did it more than he may have expected. My legs were wide and my cunt was his to possess with his tongue and his fingers. “Whose pussy is this?” he asked roughly. He sucked my clit hard until I gasped and bucked into his face. “Yours, Master.” And I meant it with every shuddered breath. I wanted to show him that he was mine and I his in every way possible to belong to another person. I would die for him. I knew it from the moment that his tongue pierced my slit and he sought to ravish me, as I whimpered for mercy yet did not wish him to ever stop. I stroked more of him into my mouth, wanting to take him fully. As much of him as could go, and then more, to his unspoken but known wish that could encircle my lips at the deep hilt of him.
54
Loving Will by Eve Boston I opened more of the mysteries of myself to his ministrations, whimpering at what he did to me, as his pinky finger found what it sought and he took me that way was well. I wanted to push him away, to stop his intense pulling and clit sucking and slit licking and gentle labia nibbling that he tortured me with. But my legs trembled and betrayed me by opening all the wider, because I was a sensual creature and knew better than to deny myself what he offered. He drank me, even swallowing, as I pulsed hard against his mouth, bucking and crying out nonsensical words that were the tongues of my ancestors. My lips were against his cock, drinking him as if his very soul was spewing into me. He said against my mons, “That was not everything. There is more.” “Don’t.” I cry. I began to weep, and there were words from my ancestors leaping out from my lips to plead with him for mercy, or for more. “Shh. Shh,” he soothed me with his voice of burgundy silk. “Surrender to it. Open to me. All the way. Split yourself wide open for Master.” His soft urgency was a command in my heart. Whatever he wished, I would do. I submitted myself to his silken wet tongue. I opened wider to that which he sought, knowing that what I feared most was also what I wanted most. “Come for my mouth. Come for Master. I want to drink your spirit and know you, even to the taste of the liquids of your body.” With renewed vigor, he pressed the point of his tongue over and over onto my little swollen pearl until it was almost unbearable pleasure. When I tried to escape the tingling, penetrating shocks of intensity, he held me there tight and pressed it harder and harder, making me gasp and whimper. His tongue was a soft, urgent sword that never faltered, until a clear liquid spurted from me in intense bursts. Even as I came, he did not stop the torture but kept on his flicking of my clit and his tongue‐fucking so soft and wet.
55
Loving Will by Eve Boston “Take me,” I cried, even though I did not know what that meant. Tears squeezed out and rolled from the corners of my eyes as he held me down and licked and sucked until I was writhing and whimpering. He drank me with obvious enjoyment and groans from deep in his belly that was his realization that he was able to make me do this most terrible intimate thing, to come, right in his mouth, uninhibited by any real protest. My legs trembled as his tongue slid in and out of me. He moved one hand up to pinch my nipples rhythmically, first hard, then soft, then hard, as if he played an instrument. He transported me to hoarsely screamed ecstasy, over and over, until I saw stars behind my closed eyelids. That was when I sucked and licked him for all I was worth, even putting the tip of my tongue inside his cock for a few moments to torture him. He moaned. I did it more, and he quivered under my tongue. I was almost frantic for him to feel what I felt. I wanted him to know the intense pleasure he gave me, and so I quested at his cock, deeper in, take it in, take it in, take it in—until it is down my opened throat. I sucked and licked and moaned and whimpered sounds against the hard throbbing flesh that was, at that moment, the center of my universe. I stroked his testicles and inner thighs, and I found his prostate gland, a little walnut in his perineum. I pressed that hard little knot over and over, that secret place of men, that magic button right along that ridge between testicles and anus. He moaned my name in a way I’d never heard before, as if he strangled out the sounds from somewhere deep inside of him. He spread his legs to grant me greater access. I wet my little finger with some of the slick juices from my own pussy and entered his anus with my finger, moving it in and out as I sucked his cock and licked it and kissed the glans and made him mine as well as he made me his. Then I pressed my finger deeper, found his prostate gland, and touched it. He cried my name, but so softly that I almost didn’t hear. I slowed down, in case I was hurting him.
56
Loving Will by Eve Boston “Stop massaging my prostate. I don’t want to come yet, and if you persist, I won’t be able to stop.” I stopped and moved to suck on his shaven clean, sweet testicles, each in their turn, so hard and large they filled my mouth. He bucked and roared against my pussy, and my flesh trembled under his hot breath. My own mouth was busy with the incredible gift of his passion, sucking and licking and swallowing his wave of cum. He tasted of tangy, salty sea spray and prayers and wishes, lust and passion, all spurting at me at once, down my throat hot and molten, goodness personified. I knew without a doubt, that what we shared was a gift so rare that I wondered if it would ever happen again like this. We collapsed into each other with cries and whimpers and strange syllables of that ancient love language bursting from my lips, all accompanied by tears of joy. Groan after groan rose from his throat, following another growly roar, when I raked my nails over his belly. He still spurted in my mouth, but less this time. We rolled over and over on the bed and fell onto the floor, onto the covers that we dragged there with us. He turned right side up and we kissed lips again, tasting each other’s come, and he kissed my tears away. We kissed and kissed and kissed as if kisses were oxygen, and my hand found him hard, yet again. “I want you more,” I begged. “This life is too short. I want all of you, now, now, now.” “What do you want?” “Please, I want a spanking, Master Will. Again. Not as hard as the first time. But yes, spank me. Fuck me. Please. Please. Please. After the other night, I can’t imagine lovemaking without spanking. You teased me by snapping the garters against me, and that was just a taste of what I need. I want to submit to you. Master. Master. Master. Take me, I beg of you. I need this from your hand. Your hand is fire and feathers and pain and pleasure all rolled into one.” I kissed the back of his hand and a small sound of plea escaped my throat.
57
Loving Will by Eve Boston “You were born to surrender. You’ll have your wish, my pretty.” I trembled, my legs shaking, wanting it, fearing it, but so excited I couldn’t be still. He reached to the basket in the corner of my bedroom and grabbed one of the triangular wedge pillows and bade me to lay face down on it. With my bottom up in the air, he stroked it and parted my legs. Kneeling behind me on the floor, he stroked my back. He bent over me and slid his hard, hard cock into me—how was he hard so soon—even as I was still throbbing with orgasms from his merciless tongue. As he slid in and out of my pussy, he kissed the back of my neck and snaked one hand under me to play with my clit. The other hand smacked my bottom with every downward stroke. I arched my bottom up into the stinging smacks, my pussy grasping his cock with the shock of each strike, and finally, I came and came with unladylike gasps that I could not hold back. He lay on top of me, holding most of his weight on his arms, so that I was in a sweet embrace of his full body upon my back. He murmured my name and said that I was the most beautiful lover he had ever known, that he had never experienced anything like it in this life. “Every time we make love, Master, I am more and more yours. I know that you must have spanked me hard, and yet, the pain mixed with the pleasure is a gift that I only know from you. I have been claimed.” “I love how surrendered you are.” “I can’t help it. I cannot. Your hand, it is fire and angst and mercy and solace all at once. I must belong to you, to submit so much. The more you spank me and come inside of me, the more I become yours.” He moaned from deep within him, a groan of emotional fulfillment. “Do you really need more?” “Yes, Master. I am greedy and needy and I beg you—more.” He moved inside of me, in and out, and interwove the strokes of his cock with stinging spanks, and soft caresses. “Reach under you and play with your clit. While I spank you with one hand, I’m going to put two fingers in your ass.” I involuntarily clenched my cheeks closed.
58
Loving Will by Eve Boston He smacked. “Give it up. Master knows what you need. You need orgasms in your clit and in your vagina and in your ass, or you’re going to keep us both awake all night. Now obey.” I relaxed as he took the wetness from my dripping pussy and spread it over my anus. He played with my anus, slid his cock in and out of my pussy, and spanked me while I rubbed my clit and lifted my butt higher in the air. His hands molded me and made me beautiful. I was enthralled by the pain and the pleasure, and by the control—his perfect control that kept me hovering between yelping in pain and moaning in pleasure. His finger slipped inside of my anus, and I let loose with an involuntary cry of pleasure. “You’re beautiful when you take that with such obvious pleasure. Willingly.” “Master Willingly,” I teased. He spanked me again harder to show his displeasure of my joke at a serious time, and stroked so slow inside of me with his finger I was floating. A little pressure and he said, “Relax. Relax.” I did so, and his fingers pushed inside of me. I winced, fighting the need to struggle. “Almost there. Good girl.” “I’m going to come, Master,” I whimpered, and his hand spanked me about a half a dozen more times while I played my clit, and just as I was about to come, he took his cock out of my pussy and pressed it into my ass, and pushed as I cried out in amazement. “Take my cock. All the way. Don’t fight it. Relax. If it hurts, push your muscles out against it. There it goes. All inside you. All in.” He began a slow and tantalizing in and out, so smooth, not forceful, but very loving and patient. I trembled and gasped at each stroke, and pushed against him when it hurt, and he pushed inside of me. I panted, and sweat rolled down my body. “How is it?” he asked. “Good, Master. I wanted to know this.” He reached around the pinched my nipples until I cried, “No.”
59
Loving Will by Eve Boston He must have known that I meant yes, because he kept pinching until I came and came and came, my legs twitching and bouncing. The shock and wonder of it had me writhing up so hard under him that I lifted him with my small body. He pulsed as he let his seed spill inside there while he nibbled the nape of my neck and whispered in my ear, “You’re mine.” Still inside of me, he rolled me over so that I was on top of him, but we both faced the ceiling. “There is more,” he whispered. I sighed, deep from within my diaphragm. I was floating. “I’m going to die of pleasure. How much more can there be?” “I’ll show you. Submit to all, and know complete and utter joy.” I watched the shadows on the ceiling move from the rain dripping down the windows, and heard the thunder of the storm as he spanked my vulva and fucked my ass from underneath me. I didn’t even know that was possible. How strong he was to lift us both like that. I came and came and came, until I wept from exhaustion, and just as promised, my clit, vagina, and butt all pulsed with fulfillment of orgasms. “Thank you, Master. Thank you,” I said when I was able to form words from the haze that was the pleasure of almost fainting from multiple orgasms. Only then did he cease moving under me, and he rolled me over onto my side and pulled his cock from me. I lay curled inside of the haven of his arms, gasping from the surprise of it all. “Did I hurt you?” he asked. “I’m sorry. I tried to be gentle.” “No, no. You were wonderful and gentle, Master. I am just not yet trained to such positions or intensity of orgasms. I never had any orgasms with any man but you.” “Any?” “No. The only orgasms I ever had came from my own hand, or from you. I am opened up to pleasure through you. You are my master. It’s all so profound. ” He cuddled me as I wept. “You’re brave, you’re beautiful. You’re mine.”
60
Loving Will by Eve Boston I wiped a tear from my face and turned to face him and kiss his wet eyes. “This sense of belonging is so overwhelming. I don’t know what to do with all of these intense emotions.” He kissed my eyes and licked the tears from my cheeks and said, “Let loose, sweetheart. Allow yourself to the luxury of inhibition. It is right that you open all to Master, but even more right that you open up to yourself. If no one has ever loved you before, you need to explore just how good that is with Master. Trust me. Each time we make love, we will go further and further. You are worthy of great love. I told you that. I chose you to share myself with, and I will not have you thinking that you do not deserve this. You do. More and more will be experienced, bringing us closer and closer, until we are one in spirit, as well as in body, even if it takes years. You are worth every last tear.” Deep, wracking sobs heaved from deep within me, and the thunder couldn’t cloak the sound that tore from me. “I’m here. Let it go. Let it go. I’ll hold you.” He rocked me in his arms. My limbs trembled, and my body ached from the release of so much emotional and physical energy. I said, “I love you. I love you.” I spilled the safe words and I meant them with all of my heart. He sighed a sweet sigh and kissed my forehead. “There’s my girl. Your safe words are wrenched out of you with bittersweet tears, which is the only way they are real.” “You take my breath away.” “Let me hold you tighter, so you can hear my heartbeat, the heartbeat of your master.” My breath shuddered out, as it does at the end of a sobbing fest, and I opened my eyes to look at my love as I lay on his chest with his arms curled around. I was held in a haven of protection. The thunder outside stopped for a moment, and I saw his eyes were full of a glowing golden light, so many souls, a river of them, dancing in the hazel irises of his wet eyes and clamoring to speak their ecstasy behind the dark, dilated pupils. “I see your past lives, in your eyes. But I am not afraid.”
61
Loving Will by Eve Boston He smiled in the dark, and I kissed the curve of his lips. “Ah, now you see me.” “Yes. I see you.” He said, “I do love you, and now, you see inside of me what I see inside of you. I’ve been searching for you for years, in this lifetime. I found you. When I saw you standing, for the first time, in our therapy group, this jolt went through me that you were my lover in another life. Now, you see it too, the humanities of my old souls, all inside of me, leaping out to touch you in the most tender moments of us. I won’t let you go again. Ever. Now I know that not even death can part us. I struggled for three months to remember your name from our other lives. But now, I have.” He wrapped me in the blankets and carried me to the bed and cradled me, rocked me, while I wept the tears of a woman who had only found true love in other lives, but never in this one. Till now. “Come here, baby. Come here. Master loves you. Yes. Yes. Shh. Imilce.” “Oh, my God. Oh my Goddess. For Christ. For Buddha. For Allah. From Eden to Armageddon. This is not madness, it is satori.” “Indeed,” he said. “Science and Spirit have met, and we have blended our flesh on a higher level than before, as if awakening the dead. Our bodies have remembered our passionate pasts and the souls come to the surface for a taste of us.” “I agree. We are not crazy. You just called me Imilce, and that is my name in another life. I have a whole journal of these memories that I wrote and that is my name, and so that means that you are he, my love of another life.” “This is real. I can almost prove it scientifically. Almost. I can prove with my own DNA that my ancestors were from that region, and more proof to find you, later.” “If only people knew. Then maybe they wouldn’t mourn so much as I have mourned, and as you have mourned, for our lost ones. But we are found.” “To be found is one of the most marvelous self‐awareness
62
Loving Will by Eve Boston discoveries, but to realize the memories of our ancestors, that is sublime.” He paused. “I want to give you a child. I think a child would complete you, but I would not decide such a serious thing for you. It is your body and your decision. A child of us would be conceived with the utmost respect for our pasts, and the sincerest hopes for the future. A planned child is made of pure love for another human being. Do you want a baby with me?” “Yes.” My chest felt tight with joy. “It is my most secret wish since I met you. Not just a longing of the baby that I lost, but while seeing your hands cradling the photos of your sons, your smiles as you talk about them. You are filled with love for your children.” “It has not been a secret from me that you ached for a child. It is a biological reaction to the death of your baby, as well as an emotional need for fulfillment. I knew it when you asked me to come to your home for iced tea, and before that, when you looked at me and said my name differently than anyone else in the world has ever said it. Your master knows. Has always known. Even before you were born in this life, I knew that you would be my love and bear my child. I love you to infinity. Death is not final. We have done this before, my dear Imilce.” “Hannibal…” “I can almost prove it scientifically. You are the link to my past.” “Tomorrow I’ll show you my Imilce journals. No one else has ever seen them. I was scared that I would be committed if I showed them to my therapist. Now I can believe in myself. It’s like redemption, proving that I’m not crazy. Do you know how that feels?” “I have a pretty good idea. Come closer.” We wept in each other’s arms, for joy. Enraptured at our discovery at the deeper notes of our song of lives, we relaxed, and somehow slept, arms and legs intertwined, in the connected sleep of past lovers who have been reunited. In the flesh. In the here. In the now. We not only belonged to each other. We were found.

Loving Will by Eve Boston
Will’s Wife in Another Life In the early morning, we showered, and I changed the sheets. I gave him a long massage on the table in the heated bathroom. Then he gave me one. I groaned with pleasure as his hands found all the kinks and worked them out. His hands were less skilled than mine, but very giving. I was amazed at his patience and attention to the parts of my body, as if he was trying to memorize me with his fingers. I knew that later, his lips would go where his hands had been, and it would wring sighs and cries out of me. Sated and restful, we reclined on the white sheepskin rug in front of the crackling fireplace in my living room, our elbows resting on pillows, and a row of candles in vintage jelly jars providing light to read by in the soft, early morning San Francisco light. I was enfolded in my new red koi kimono he’d bought me. He was wrapped in a towel, wearing it like a kilt. Very sexy. I had my self‐published children’s books in a pile. He wanted to see them, and I was pleased that he did. I was a bit fearful that he would find my work lacking in some way. Or maybe he wouldn’t understand them, with their simplistic messages written for children. “Aunt Janie, huh?” he asked. “Yes, that’s my pseudonym for my children’s books.” “Very sweet,” he said. “Thank you. I haven’t made any money from the books, yet. After my baby died, I wrote the books as therapy and got them printed on my
64
Loving Will by Eve Boston own, as a personal project to help my grief recovery. I haven’t tried to sell them, although I gave a few copies away to the children of friends and neighbors. I loved writing and illustrating the stories that I never got to tell my son. They’re my messages to him on paper, and even if I never got to share them with him in a tangible way, somehow, just getting it out on paper lets me express how much I loved him. He was a little muse of inspiration.” “You should send these to a publisher. They are every bit as good as other children’s books that I have seen. Your illustrative talents are just amazing.” He smiled while turning the pages of The Happy Little Hyena, The Otters’ Christmas Wish, A Rosebush for Reese, City Boy versus Country Boy, and Super Study Boy. “You’re very clever and talented.” “Thank you,” I replied. “I don’t have any formal art training. I never went to college, but I did my share of drawing in childhood. Later, when I read the book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, something just clicked inside me, about my art, and my skill developed very quickly as I used the techniques. Perhaps someday I’ll become a children’s picture book author instead of a freelance fashion illustrator.” “Where do your stories come from?” “That’s a funny question.” I laughed. “Mostly from my imagination.” “Not from genetic memory?” My eyebrows went up. “Now there’s an intriguing concept. I think that might be wishful thinking though, especially for The Happy Little Hyena or The Otters Christmas Wish. I have no memories of myself as an animal. That would be interesting though. Do animals share any DNA commonalities with humans?” “Yes, they do. You are so clever, even at five‐thirty in the morning.” I smiled at him. “Well, thank you. I’m a morning person. I guess, having children, you are, too.” “I operate on very little sleep. It will be weird to get eight hours, if I get a job where I can do that and still survive financially.” He chose a book from the bottom of the stack, read the title, and
65
Loving Will by Eve Boston held it against his chest. “This one isn’t for kids.” I squirmed a bit. “No, it isn’t. I also had it privately printed a couple of years ago. I have maybe 200 copies, most of which are gathering dust in my attic. You can take that one home with you.” Why? asked his eyes. “The story is kind of personal. I believe it is from a past life.” “Hannibal’s Wife?” “It is a biography of Imilce, the wife of Hannibal the Conqueror. Actually, an autobiography, strictly speaking.” “Us. You’re a student of the Punic Wars?” “Not especially. I’m not much of a scholar. I pretty much write from the heart, write what I know, that which comes from inside of me.” “Did you do that book directly from a past life regression?” “Yes, I did. It took me years to piece it together. And many past life regressions. With each session, I learned more and more. Regressions are very strenuous, and my recent emotions have been wrapped in grief, but I’ll get back to delving into my psyche when I’m well enough again. Soon.” His eyes measured me. “If I asked you to prove it somehow, that this was true, could you?” “You ask the hardest questions.” I got up from the rug and walked over to my roll top writing desk in the corner, got the key to my desk from under the blotter, and opened the bottom drawer. I drew out a huge spiral bound notebook and handed it to him. He opened it, and his mouth dropped a bit in surprise as he saw hundreds of handwritten pages, which he could not read. “What language is this?” “I’m not sure. I’m guessing a very ancient Greek, or a related language. I’ve never shown it to anyone, but with what you’re working on, with genetic memory, I figured that out of all the people in the world who would believe me, that I wrote the story of Hannibal’s Wife in an ancient language and then translated it to English, that you would believe me. My name was Imilce, I’m sure of it. I was an Iberian princess, given to a rather reluctant Hannibal, as a peace offering. Even though I was sort of
66
Loving Will by Eve Boston a spoil of war, I fell in love with him and wooed him. I wrote down everything I could remember.” “Did you ever study Greek, in this life?” I shook my head. “No. This is all from past life regression. None of it was learned from this life.” He whistled through his teeth as he looked at the ancient language scrawled on modern notebook paper. “My God, you have linguistic race memory.” I frowned at him in confusion. “It means you’re the real thing. You’ve got genetic memory and have somehow tapped into it in great detail, enough so that you recall a foreign language from a past life well enough to read and write it.” He pulled me close to him. “I knew you were amazing, but this manuscript and the translated book are boundary‐breaking. That I know of, no one else on earth has ever done this.” I smiled at him, and I could feel heat rise to my face. “You’re probably the only person in the world who doesn’t think I’m nuts. All my life, anyone who had any hint of my other selves labeled me Crazy Jane or said I had a multiple personality disorder—I’ve pretty much been an outcast all my life. Till maybe...now. You’re a scientist and you believe in the memories of past lives, through genetics. I believe in it through metaphysics, and getting in touch with one’s inner spirituality.” He looked through the manuscript, and at my notes in the margins. “What is this part? A letter?” He handed me the handwritten manuscript. I handed him the book and turned it to the correct page. I read the ancient language and told him in English what it said. He followed along in the book. “The translation seems to sound pretty archaic in English. But I wanted to translate as closely as I could, neither to detract or add to the original but keep it as true to origin as possible.” “Please. Read it, and tell me what it means.” “It is a love letter from me to you, from Imilce to Hannibal, after he cheated on me and left me for awhile to go make war. I wanted him to know that I forgave him for leaving me, and for sleeping with another
67
Loving Will by Eve Boston woman. I wanted to tell him that I still loved him. I missed him. I wanted him back. The letter is very sad.” “Read,” he commanded. “I want to know what this letter to me, to him, what it says.” I read from the Greek manuscript, translating in my head as I went, and he followed along in my printed book, in the English. My dearest Hannibal: Who blest thee with infinite compassion, That thee didst unlock a hundred thousand breasts with thy words? I found in thee a well‐matched mate. I, a lonely, Iberian princess, Sweet conqueror, thee chose me to unite countries. But when I tasted thy love, All thoughts of military treaties were gone; In life adventures we spent blood and lives for the cause against Rome, Traveling on the back of a white elephant, upon a saddle of beaten gold. One life is not enough to bask in the light of such glory as I knew with thee. I trek cold deserts now, Alone, devoid of the cup of thy lips, I grasp for the dangling golden thread that ties us fast and tug it. I know one day, that thee again will battle Rome to save us. But even Byzantium’s Constantinople, in all its glory, couldst not turn my head, nor hers, from thine verdant eyes. My Hannibal, my desire, I am no longer a love trophy from war;
68
Loving Will by Eve Boston She is thine air, I knowest. But thee eradicated my despair; And, if I languish into dreams of thee, So be my ardent adoration for thee still, Know this: Thy Queen of hearts did not die, She still reveres thy words and eyes. Until we see, Until we End, Until we Know, Seize thy Power, but if Fate thou be, Unmake time lost, pray remember me, Hannibal, and what I meant to thee. I paused to look up from the handwritten manuscript. His eyes were fixed upon me, and there was great pain in them. “I’m sorry. It was too much, too soon, wasn’t it?” I asked. “No, I wanted to know. I want to know. I was him, wasn’t I? Hannibal.” “Yes. I’m pretty sure you were. Are. Or I wouldn’t have shown you the Greek manuscript.” “I hurt you back then. I am so sorry.” “You aren’t responsible in this life for what you did in another.” I stroked his cheek then walked back to my desk to lock up the notebook. I put the desk key back under the blotter. “There’s much more, but we’ll save it for another time.” “I want to remember. It’s like the memories are behind a veil. This is all so familiar, but yet, clouded, cloaked. I don’t have your cognitive abilities.” “It takes a lot of practice to bring memories to the surface, and also to discern them from wishful thinking,” I warned. “I’ve gone through many of my early writings, and rather than satori, have chalked up some of what I wrote to false memory, or wishful thinking, or maybe just fantasy. I have tried to pare them down to only what I believe is true.” “No, Hannibal feels right. You feel right. I have been looking for you. For centuries. But Hannibal the Conqueror. He was...violent. Even perhaps evil.”
69
Loving Will by Eve Boston “By whose history book? The Romans? You aren’t going to give credence to Rome’s version of the Punic Wars. There are multiple views of every historical figure.” “I never thought of it that way.” “War is a necessary evil. Even I, as a pacifist, realize that there are two sides to every war. One of the sides should be noble, if possible. That isn’t always true, unfortunately, but I believe that Hannibal did what he thought was necessary to protect Greece and its allies from the Romans. If you want to talk about conquerors without mercy, the Romans were that. We lived it.” “I’m still digesting all of this. It is stunning.” I nuzzled his cheek. “I want to tell you about Hannibal and my life with him. With you. Maybe you won’t think him as such a monster, but as a man trying to save Greece from the Romans.” “Tell me,” he said. His interested eyes were hazel fires behind the long lashes. I poked the log on the fire, rolled it over until the bark caught and crackled anew. “It’s crazy for the weather to be this cold in summer, but that’s San Francisco for you.” “I want to read your book of course, but may I have a short synopsis for now. Please?” he asked. I sat next to him on the leather couch. “Once upon a time, in another life, I was Hannibal’s woman, your woman, if you extrapolate backward. You know of Hannibal, the Conqueror, who commanded a hundred thousand men and fought the Romans and whoever else got in his way? Guess what? He was very kind and compassionate, to me, and to lots of other people, too. History gives my Hannibal quite a bad rap. He cared about the people of his country, and freedom and choice. Believe it or not, he advocated peace, brotherhood, and love. He was important to the people who knew him, and that’s how he could get a hundred thousand men to fight for him. They believed in him. In his words. In his choices. He was a leader of great social consciousness and honor.” Will’s focus was intent on my face. I smiled.

Loving Will by Eve Boston “As Imilce, I was his beloved, cherished woman, his favorite, pampered, coddled, petted, adored, spoiled, woman, in that other life of mine. I, an Iberian, sat in front of him in that saddle of gold, and while his white elephant walked, he held me around the waist and whispered love words in my ear and touched my breasts and made love to me on his lap, to the pace of an elephant walk. We became quite adept at having sex on the back of an elephant with me riding his lap, either facing him, or facing away. I think we must have invented the reverse cowgirl.” He chuckled. “We spent long years going from battle to battle. He kept me safe in all of them. He called me Girl, a pet name for me, even when we were old. Hannibal showed me how to find my inner light, to see the surrounding landscape of beauty, to make the best of any situation. When sword clatter shattered the silence—and it was heavy to bear, those horrible times of blood spilling—he taught me to be serene and urged me to accept that from this horror of war would emerge a better place for all of our people of Greece. Even when he lost an eye, he did not cease in his quest for what is now called democracy.” “Your view of history is interesting.” “You ask me to open my mind to your ideas. I ask you for the same.” He nodded. “Go on.” “But afterwards, those battles temporarily desisted, Hannibal would beg me to take away the blood on his heart, and so we lifted our bodies into the starry nights. Our hearts cleaved full of abundant love, we took solace in each other’s lovemaking. I could always bring him to the shuddering, sighing peace that we shared in our life together, and we did that through making love with the free spirit that is pretty close to what you and I have shared so far. Perhaps his prowess is inherent in your very cellular makeup.” He smiled, and we held hands, our fingers interlaced. “Hannibal brought me to the same kind of fulfillment that you do, and we made love thousands of times in our lives.” “More,” he urged.
71
Loving Will by Eve Boston “People would cheer his bravery and good works. Because they loved him, they loved me, too, if only because I was his. He would walk among his people with me and we were greeted and appreciated, always. He was rich, and he shared his wealth to make a better world. He fed the masses of armies and would share his food and drink with anyone who took up arms in his name. His armies knew his focused heart, and cleaved to it, exactly as I cleaved to it, with complete trust. He was a loved man by the Greeks.” “Whew. This is something. A very big something.” “Yes,” I said. “It is to me, too.” “How did we die? I want to know.” “We were parted tragically, Hannibal and I. You and I.” “I’m sorry.” He squeezed my hand. “What happened to us?” “The Romans were coming for us when we were very old, and we took poison together, rather than be captured. Farewell to that idea in this life, for I respect life now and will never take my own again. But our tragic parting has marked me for all lifetimes, that whatever love the life may bring, that circumstances may rob one of love, so I will always mourn the loss of true love with true grief. As someday, I will mourn again, if I lose you, in this life. Until the next one, if and when we can find each other again. And seize what I call the knowing.” “You won’t lose me,” he promised. “We’re mortal. One of us has to go before the other. It is the way of life. Death separates, as we both well have experienced. Life reunites. Come Harvest, come Autumn, come Winter, come Spring. Come years. Come lives. Yes, I was Hannibal’s woman once. Your woman. I do not regret it. I learned how to love well, with bravery and sincerity. I will never depart from what he taught me, what you taught me, all of those years that we shared a tent and a blanket and a lifetime. Love is all. You taught me that.” We looked into the fire, holding hands, him stroking my fingers with his, as we watched the flames die to embers and the candles began to sputter out, one by one, as the sun rose. Will said softly, breaking the comfortable silence, “I wonder if your
72
Loving Will by Eve Boston need to surrender, indeed, be born to it, is a part of your life with Hannibal. That it might be imprinted on your very cellular memory that you love to be conquered.” “Hannibal and I did share what I would call a Master/slave relationship, but it was less sophisticated than our interaction. We certainly had our over‐the‐knee moments. I have been craving it in this life, subconsciously, and, I admit, in my masturbatory fantasies, until you walked into my life and made it real.” He pulled me into his lap and the towel fell away, showing me that his huge erection was ready for me again. He opened my robe and teased my breasts with his tongue. “As much as I would love to play with you some more, Master Will, Hannibal of my heart, it is now morning and your children are waiting for you. I have just made it a rule for myself that I will never take away your attention from them, but only be added to you, as a positive aspect of your life. If I ever see you neglecting your children because of me, I’m going to call you on it.” “How did you get so wise?” “I’ve had thousands of years to think about things,” I replied. “You better get dressed and see to your family.” “Yes,” he said. I put the books away on the shelf and held out my hand to him. “I think that’s enough ancient history for this morning. It takes a while to sink in when you first have these realizations of past lives. At first, you’ll think the whole concept is nuts, but then again, my manuscript in ancient Greek is quite the proof for your pudding, now isn’t it?” He nodded and got up. I led him by the hand back to the bedroom. “You want a light breakfast?” I asked him. “No, thank you. I think I am in a bit of shock. I have a lot to think about, concerning you.” “Don’t look so serious. It will all make sense soon. Even if it doesn’t, this life, the one we live now, is the most important time. I only use looking back to learn how to make myself a better person in the present.”
73
Loving Will by Eve Boston He held me close and kissed my cheek, then my lips. “I am so moved by you. Now every time I look at you, I see Imilce, too. What happened to our children back then?” I smiled. “Our daughter was married off to someone rich, sent far away to make babies and live her life. We rarely heard from her, but I do get the impression that she was happy.” “Did we have a son?” He held me, waiting, for news of his son. “When you were Hannibal and I was Imilce, we had a beautiful son. He was good and brave, and you never even saw him or knew about him. I kept his birth a secret and spirited him away to my beloved little sister in Iberia to raise as her own. To protect him from the Romans and from becoming one of your generals, I kept his entire life a secret from you. One war lord in the family was quite enough.” “What happened to him?” “Obviously, Dr. Genetic Memory, he lived.” He smiled, obviously taking joy in the fact he had a secret son back then, instead of anger that I had kept his own son a secret from him. Will understood. Hannibal would have been livid. “Thank you for telling me.” “Thank you for being you. In this lifetime.” “Who else could I be?” he asked. “Another time, I would like to talk to you about the universe and the concept of the multiverse. For now, please get dressed and go home to kiss your boys good morning. I have to get myself ready to take some finished watercolors over to Sweet Goth magazine, and I hope they approve them for a fashion spread.” “Sounds like we both have a busy day ahead.” “Indeed.” We kissed each other goodbye, as if it was forever instead of a day. Because one never knew.

Loving Will by Eve Boston
Submitting to Will Carrying my portfolio under my arm, jubilant and victorious, with a generous check in my handbag and a new contract for more artwork, I was on my way back from delivering my watercolors to Sweet Goth magazine. There was a spring in my step. I couldn’t wait to tell Will. They loved my artwork and wanted more. I got off the trolley a few blocks before home so I could walk past the apartment building where he lived with his sons and his former mother‐in‐law. I wanted to see the boys, by chance, if I could. Just a glimpse. I told myself it wasn’t stalking if I wanted to see the kids of the man who professed his love for me. I wanted to tell him all about my meeting with the art editor, and how she gushed over my work and proposed more projects and handed me the contract, right there, for more work. I was so excited, and I had to tell him. I just couldn’t wait until later. I had the paper with me where he had written his address. His building was in a part of my neighborhood where I’d never walked. Older, slightly shabby large Victorian homes were split into apartments and were in varying shades of decay. I caught a whiff of smoke in the air, as if leaves were burning but more acrid, and it was summer, so what was I smelling? As I walked closer and closer to his address, smoke began to sting my eyes, and I heard the sound of an approaching fire engine. I picked up my pace, my heart rate increasing. I coughed and hurried. Please, please, don’t let it be his house. I saw smoke billowing into the sky, thick and black and ugly. I ran and ran, even though it was uphill
75
Loving Will by Eve Boston and the sidewalks were cracked and dangerous, weeds growing up through those cracks forming trip hazards. When I arrived at the address, and it was indeed his building on fire. People were running and shouting, the fire department was setting up a Do Not Cross barrier tape, and a paramedic’s truck had also just arrived. Belongings were thrown out of windows, women and children were crying, and it was general pandemonium added to by interested bystanders come to see the firefighters at work. There were lots of children, but where were his? Where was their grandmother? “Ma’am, please leave the area if you can,” a patrolman said, “unless you have a reason to be here. A drug lab exploded in this building and there may be hazardous materials in the air.” I panicked. “Will. Willie. Christopher. Edith,” I yelled above the din of the fire roaring and taking down a once‐beautiful house. “Will. Willie. Christopher. Edith.” I took a big breath and yelled again. A tall boy approached me, sizing me up. A smaller boy with hazel eyes followed. They both carried pillowcases stuffed with something. The taller one said, “Miss, why’re you screaming our names?” “Oh, thank goodness. You boys are safe.” I hugged them, and the smaller one hugged me back, pressing himself against me. I noticed he also carried a laptop bag over his shoulder. “You’re Jane, aren’t you?” asked Christopher, the smaller one. “That’s right. I’m Jane. Did your dad tell you about me?” “This morning, officially,” said Willie. “Not that he hasn’t dropped your name for the last few months at least once a day.” I blushed. “Where are your dad and grandma?” I asked. “Dad had a bunch of job interviews today. No telling where he is, and we don’t have a cell phone. Grandma’s over there.” Willie pointed to a paramedic area where people were getting oxygen and first aid. “There was an explosion in the apartment next door, and it even made a hole in our apartment wall. Our grandma got us out
76
Loving Will by Eve Boston pretty fast, and then she told us to stay on the sidewalk. Then she ran back in there like a crazy woman. She almost got trapped when the stairs fell in and she went out on the fire escape and climbed down the ladder. And she’s old and has arthritis.” “You should have seen Grandma. She saved all my dad’s work.” “She went back in to save your dad’s research?” “Our grandma is so brave. Come on.” Christopher took my hand and led me to the paramedics’ area. Willie followed at a small distance. I sensed coolness toward my very existence. Christopher was suffused with warmth, though. Christopher let go of my hand and ran up to an older woman getting oxygen and having a bandage taped to her arm. “Grandma, this is Dad’s girlfriend. Jane came to see if we were OK.” Edith’s eyebrows shot up. She removed the oxygen mask, and the paramedic told her to put it back on. She coughed but told him she was all right and thanked him for the help. She got off the stretcher, shook my hand, and said in a raspy voice how nice it was to meet me. Talk about grace under pressure. “Do you want to go to the hospital, ma’am, to get checked out further?” the paramedic asked Edith. “No, thanks. I think I just want to go somewhere and lay down for the rest of the day. I probably want to go to a hotel until we figure out what to do.” Edith picked up a tote bag, and Willie grabbed the handles of two wheelie suitcases. “This is my dad’s entire work,” Willie said proudly. I put my arm around the old woman’s shoulders. She was shorter than me, but we were about the same size, about a hundred pounds dripping wet. “Why don’t you and the boys come to my house? It isn’t far to walk, and I have plenty of room for all of you.” Edith looked at me gratefully. “I was worried about what we were going to do. I have enough money to get us a hotel room, but not much more until my next social security check.” “I won’t hear of you going to some residence hotel. Please come to
77
Loving Will by Eve Boston my home. We’ll talk, and we’ll try to get in touch with Will.” “I have no idea where he went today on those job interviews,” Edith said. “He’ll be back here around five‐ish.” Willie said, “Someone should stay here and tell Dad where we went.” “It’s too dangerous,” I said. “The police said a drug lab exploded, and that’s what caused the fire. We have to leave or we could all get very sick.” “Stupid tweeker neighborhood,” said Willie. “We lost it all.” He held up the pillowcase. “Except one load of laundry that I stuffed in here, and my Dad’s laptop that Christopher grabbed, we’ve got nothing left. All our photos and stuff are up there.” I put my arms around the boys’ shoulders. “You have each other. You’ve got your dad. You’ve got your grandma, and I know you don’t know me yet, but you’ve got me, too.” I took a red oil pastel crayon out of my portfolio and walked to the sidewalk in front of the ruined building. There were steps leading up to it, and I wrote very large on the sidewalk: Will, your family is safe at my house. Love, Jane and I drew a big heart around it. “Great idea,” Christopher said. “Tagger,” Willie said. “Bless you,” said Edith, and then she burst into tears. “I can’t believe it. I was ready to hate the very idea of you, but you came to help us. Thank you.” My eyes filled with tears, or maybe it was the smoke. “I’ll try to be sensitive to you. Will told me how wonderful you are with the boys. I am not going to try and replace you, or your daughter’s memory.” “I can’t believe you would take me in, too.” “I should be kicked out of the human race if I didn’t.” She smiled back through her tears. “This was a terrible day, until you showed up.” “You boys roll those suitcases down the hill,” I said. “Christopher, I can carry your dad’s laptop, but I need two strong boys for all those
78
Loving Will by Eve Boston important papers.” I turned to Edith as the boys walked a bit ahead of us. “How could you go back in that burning building for Will’s papers? You must have known how dangerous it was.” “If you know Will, you know that his work is everything to him. That is, before you came along. He seems to have been seeking some balance in his life since he met you. But all of his professional life depends on his research, and I couldn’t let it be lost. You are very nice to take us in like this. I’m not sure what he is going to say, though. He likes to be in charge of decisions like this.” “Edith, sometimes a woman just has to take the initiative to make a decision. How could it be wrong for me to help a family whose house just burned down?” “But you don’t know us. You only know Will.” “I would have done it for a stranger, if necessary. What kind of legacy would I leave if I didn’t have some positive influence over the lives of people who I love?” “You love him?” she asked. “So soon?” “It seems like we’ve known each other for lifetimes,” I admitted. * * * * * Four‐thirty p.m. found me standing on the sidewalk in front of the burned‐out apartment building, wearing the little, white Victoria’s Secret dress that Will liked. The smoke had dissipated, the fire department was gone and had been replaced by the police department in hazardous materials suits. I had a shawl wrapped around my shoulders as I waited for Will inside the big heart I’d drawn on the sidewalk earlier that day. I heard a man running, and I looked into the late afternoon shadows, shading my eyes against the slanting sun, to see him, briefcase in hand, running in a business suit. I waved to him, and he stopped short, looking at me and reading the message that I’d written on the sidewalk. He was white as a sheet and didn’t even kiss me. “They’re all safe, Will. Your children and their grandmother are at
79
Loving Will by Eve Boston my house. Everyone is getting their bedrooms fixed up as we speak. Edith is cooking dinner. Oh, and she saved all your work in those rolling suitcases, and your Christopher saved your laptop. Willie grabbed a load of laundry and stuffed it in a pillowcase. All of your material things are gone except for your work, and your children. You can’t go in the building, probably ever, to retrieve anything. It was a meth lab explosion at your neighbor’s apartment.” He groaned then breathed a sigh of relief. And then he kissed me. “I don’t know how to thank you.” “Edith is the one who saved your kids and your work. She got the boys out, and then she went back in after your research and your computer backups. She got smoke inhalation, and I think she should have gone to the hospital, but she’s at my house cooking right now. I couldn’t stop her.” “When I smelled the smoke and saw this place, you cannot imagine what thoughts raced through my mind. And there you were, my vision of love, standing on the sidewalk to comfort me.” “I couldn’t let you face such a thing alone. You’d be there for me. You have been there for me.” We held each other for long moments. “I promise we won’t inconvenience you for too long. I’ll get my post‐doc job soon, and we’ll be out of your hair.” “I want you to stay, all of you. Edith told me that you had very little in savings. She took me aside and told me that you were close to being homeless when your wife died because she was the major breadwinner.” Color rose to his cheeks and ears. “I didn’t want you to know that. I have job prospects and a new doctorate. I have so much going for me. This week is loaded with interviews and conferences, meetings of all types. And I had that job that hasn’t written me a final check, as of yet.” “Don’t worry. You should have seen how happy Edith was that she didn’t have to take the boys to some ratty residence hotel and try to tough it out till you got a job, or ask the Red Cross for help. Now that you and your family are at my house, you can take your time and choose a good
80
Loving Will by Eve Boston professional position and not just take the first offer that rolls in because you are financially desperate.” “How can I ever thank you? I don’t know what to say. As a man, and as a master, it is so humbling for me to stand here with you and hear you say that you are going to take care of me and my family.” I hugged him and for the first time ever, realized how vulnerable he was to being alone. Just like me. “You have your family, your work is intact, your laptop is safe, and you have me, too.” “You have that last item in the wrong order.” I smiled. “Come on. It’s time to go home and be with your family.” We walked arm in arm back to my house. I opened the front door, and the scent of pot roast and vegetables wafted into our nostrils. “I love Fridays with Edith,” he said. “It smells like I will, too.” The boys bounded down the stairs. “Dad. Jane let us have our own rooms. We never had that before,” said Christopher. Willie hugged his dad as Christopher bounced up and down in front of him, vying for attention. Edith came out from the kitchen with oven mitts on her hands and beamed at him. “Dinner is ready. Jane, your dining room is lovely. The boys set the table, and I hope it was all right to use the dishes and silver from the sideboard.” “Of course, it’s OK. My house is your house,” I said. “Whatever you need, if I have it, just go ahead and use it. Goodness knows my kitchen has seen very little action, except for baking.” We all walked into the dining room together and sat down, with Will at the head of the table, me next to him, and Edith at the foot. The boys sat on either side. All manner of delicious foods were resplendent upon the table, and my mouth watered. Edith said, “I know we don’t usually do this, but I would like to say a prayer of thanks for Jane. Without a selfish thought, she made us her family today. Being here makes everything seem like it was supposed to
81
Loving Will by Eve Boston be that way.” A lump rose in my throat as we joined hands and she said a prayer in Yiddish. I smiled, because even though I had never even heard Yiddish in this lifetime, I could understand what she said, and it was very, very sweet. When she finished her prayer, I walked to the foot of the table and kissed her on both cheeks and said thank you, in Yiddish. She smiled. * * * * * With the boys upstairs in guest bedrooms that I’d decorated but never used, and Edith in my baby’s room on a foldout couch, Will and I kissed passionately for the first time that day in my bedroom—in our bedroom. “Again, I don’t know how to thank you. This is above and beyond anything anyone has ever done for me. For us.” “You don’t have to do anything to thank me. I love having you all here. Just be yourself and please make yourself at home.” “I have never had a woman rescue me before, ever. I hardly know how to be myself. I am supposed to be the great protector, the master.” “You still are. The moment you walked in this bedroom, closed and locked the door, you were again my master. Out there, with your children and your former mother‐in‐law, I’m your girlfriend. In here, you’re my entire world, and I’m yours in a way that surpasses the understanding of anyone but us.” He pulled me to him and pressed me against his body. “How do you understand us so much?” As he undid my dress and pulled my bra aside to cup his hand around my bare breast and make it the property of his mouth, I answered, “Because I lived with you in many lifetimes, and our synchronicity in this life is an extension of everything we’ve been to each other before, and even after.” He took the other breast in his mouth as I trailed my hand down to his zipper and undid it, pulling his already rock‐hard cock out of his
82
Loving Will by Eve Boston briefs. I stroked him, and he shuddered with pleasure. “You’re saying that time is not linear, aren’t you? Like when you talked about the city of Beijing in your letter from a Punic War era.” “Yes. Exactly.” I breathed hard as he kneeled to lick me through my panties and inhaled. My voice trembled as I said, “There exist multiverses, and they’re not linear to each other. Time is as variable as to be infinite in possible doppelgangers. I know, because I have proof.” He licked me harder through my panties, and I spread my legs for him. His tongue curled into me through the thin fabric. “You smell delectable. I want to devour you dry. In any multiverse.” He licked a finger, wetting it with saliva, pulled down my panties from the back, and parted me. “Bend over a little,” he ordered. I did as he asked, my breasts falling in his face as he knelt in front of me. His finger traced the crack until his wet finger found my anus and teased the pucker, causing a little gasp of pleasure to escape me. “Who owns you?” “Master,” I whispered, and he took me with his finger and sucked my breasts hard. I moaned, trying not to make any real noise, since we weren’t alone in the house. “Master, I am yours. How may I please you?” He pulled down the front of my panties with his teeth, all the way to my knees. Bent over as I was, he worked his wet finger in and out of my ass. “Show me how much you like my finger in you there.” I pressed against it and then against his face with my pussy, back and forth, until he was fucking me in my pussy with his tongue and his finger in my ass, pumping it. “Master, I want to please you,” I protested. “You haven’t even let me touch you yet, and I’m going to come.” “I want to see you come like this, Jane, to be taken standing up with your panties around your knees, your pussy open to my face. I am
83
Loving Will by Eve Boston possessing you and giving you none of me.” “But I want you, too, Master,” I protested. “Please. I want to touch you.” He lay on the floor under me and pulled a pillow off the bed for his neck. He withdrew his finger. “Not tonight. Tonight is all about submission. Step out of your underwear and kneel on either side of my face with your legs shoulder‐width apart. Lower yourself onto my face, and pinch your own nipples and play with them while I lick you and suck you.” I did as he asked, and sighed as he spread me over his face and again put a finger in me. I gasped when realized that it was two fingers now. He said, “You’re going to come for my mouth. And then you’re going to be spanked, and you won’t make a sound while I take you. Tonight is all about the pleasure of submission. Do you understand?” I nodded, excitement blasting through me, as he licked and nibbled and sucked my pussy and played my throbbing clit with his tongue. He took my ass with his fingers. It was almost painful, but in that way where immense pleasure outweighed the pain. I awaited the spanking with a mixture of anticipation and dread. I moved back and forth across his face, and he used his two fingers to push me back and forth. I was breathing hard, and so was he, but I didn’t make a sound. Not even a whimper. I began to pulse hard and tried to squirm away. It was too intense. No. I wanted to scream the word but didn’t. Because I loved my master and obeyed him. He held me in place with a gentle pinching of my labia, and I adored being his prisoner as moisture from inside of me wet his face. He groaned and lapped it up. “Get up. Let’s go to the shower,” he whispered. He led me to the shower, turned it on, and adjusted the water. He washed his hands with soap. “Bend over and let me wash you.” I did so and submitted to the tenderness of his fingers and the gentle soap as he cleaned me.
84
Loving Will by Eve Boston “Lay on your back, draw your knees up and let your legs fall open for me,” he whispered. I did as he asked, laying in the bottom of the tub, and he knelt between my legs. “Your pussy is so beautiful. You’re beautiful, so obedient. Obedience is good. Put your legs over my shoulders,” he ordered, and as I did so, he used the showerhead on me, holding the folds of me open and teasing my clit with the spray. I gasped with pleasure, and he put a finger to his lips to quiet me, and I nodded, understanding. He washed me with the gentle foaming soap that I kept in the shower to cleanse before and after lovemaking, and he washed my throbbing parts, and then just as gently, he put his slick, wet, hard cock in me and pushed the head of it against my orgasming pussy and then pulled it out again, painfully, slowly, and methodically. “Breathe with me, Jane. Be my breath.” I watched the intake and exhale of his breathing and synchronized myself to it. He kept the showerhead aimed at my clit as he moved in and out of me, and I twisted and writhed against the intense tingles that spread through me like fingers touching me everywhere. With my legs over his shoulders, he had a clear aim at my rounded ass cheeks, and with each stroke inward, he spanked me with one hand and then massaged that cheek while keeping the showerhead directed on my clit with the other hand. Spank, massage, fuck, clit torture. Spank, massage, fuck, clit torture. It was like a mantra. I was into his rhythm, and he was into mine as I moved the way he wanted me to move, and he did things to me that took me by surprise—emotionally and physically—but the experience of being taught to endure and enjoy a little pain, then much pleasure was a joy as I surrendered to my master. Pleasure spread through me with a warmth that made me want, even more, to give up sexual control to him as he rubbed my clit so hard that it tingled. He kept me a prisoner by it, and set me free by the same thing. I writhed and thrashed under him, my spanked flesh on fire and
85
Loving Will by Eve Boston my clit tormented by the pressure of the water on it, as he alternated his fingers and the water spray. My pussy was filled with him, the hardest that he’d ever been, the longest, and the deepest he had ever gone inside of me. He tapped my cervix, and it was glorious to be filled all the way. I wanted to scream that I loved him for doing this for me, and tears streamed down my cheeks and into my wet hair because I couldn’t speak the words. Instead of talking, I closed my eyes and gave over complete control to him. He switched hands to spank and alternately massage my other butt cheek, yet still maintaining the spray on my clit. He fucked me slow and long and deep as he spoke to me in a silvery calm, yet impassioned voice. “Oh, sweetheart, look at you opening yourself to me, not just your body, but your mind. I can see the folds of you pulsing, and even see the twitching and the pulling of your beautiful, slick cunt. Come for me, again. Open the flower wider. Let me see the bloom redden and swell. Come for Master, and come hard. I know you can. Do it.” I arched my body. Just as I was going to come again, a soaped finger went into my spanked, hot ass, and I thought I would die from pleasure. He came, too, a hard hot pulse, and he pulled out to spray my breasts with his cum. I rubbed it into my skin, and he reached to help me, and he pinched my nipples, hard, then soft, then rolling them, as I came with little sound, tears rolling down my cheeks. He gave me a couple of sharp spanks on my vulva, then when I gasped at the burn and the swell of the strokes, he turned the showerhead right on my exposed clit and held it there and told me not to fight him. I near‐screamed in ecstasy, so far gone was I from reason. His mouth came to cover mine, and I let a sob into his mouth as our tongues met in a kiss that said it all and left me breathless. As I lay on the floor of the shower, seeing stars behind my closed eyelids, hearing myself pant, the orgasms blasted through me and seized possession of my pussy, taking it so hard that the walls of my vagina slammed against each other uncontrollably. My legs trembled and thrashed, but he pressed my thighs to the floor with his hands and said, “Shh, shh, you’re all right, Janie. Don’t struggle. Let it happen. More, my love?”
86
Loving Will by Eve Boston I shook my head no. I saw him smile just before he took me in a way that sent me over the edge of reason and into madness. Just when I thought I couldn’t take anymore, he bent his head to my throbbing vulva and sucked my clit without mercy, holding me down, down, down, possessing me by a tiny pearl of flesh, his middle finger slipping deep inside my slick pussy and curling when he found my G‐spot. He massaged it without mercy, while I was helpless to stop him. Inside my head was a buzz like a million bees, and even my nipples pulsed with orgasm, and all the way to my fingers and toes I tingled. My fingers and toes curled and uncurled with the force of the splendor that possessed me. I was euphoric in a way that I had never experienced before, and my arms went around his head to pull him down into my pussy, to keep him there, no matter how hard it was to bear—I wanted the intensity, forever. He was my love, through and through. He took control of my body, and he loved it well and long. No one had ever made me feel this way. No one. He rubbed his face in the crystal clear liquid, female ejaculate, that came out of me in a wet rush. He tugged my clit lightly with his teeth and licked every fold of me clean as my legs jerked involuntarily. I lay trembling and breathing hard as he rinsed me off. Then he lifted me to dry me with a towel and then took me to bed. From far away, I heard his voice saying, “You know what submission is now. It is a complete surrender to the freedom to experience pain, pleasure, and Self.” He smiled and cupped his hands over my hot, stinging butt cheeks. “You spanked my pussy,” I whispered, incredulous. A slow smile spread across his face. “Yes, I did spank your pretty pussy to a deep swell of pink. I saw you raise yourself to my hand for more and open your legs wider. We’ll have to explore that desire further, at another time.” I blushed all the way to my nipples. “You didn’t give me a chance to even touch you. I wanted to please you.” “You pleased me well. You trusted me, and now you know the reward of such a trust, through the giving of yourself to me, all of you,
87
Loving Will by Eve Boston even the parts that you didn’t even know wanted me, or how. How are you?” “Taken,” I said on a soft breath in his ear. I threw my arms around his neck and silently wept tears for a man who knew me to the core and still loved me. It didn’t matter that I liked the very wicked and terrible things that he did to me. He adored me. I earned his approval and acceptance, and I knew that I was his. To belong to him was belonging to myself as well. I had never known myself this well, before him. He held me as I cried, and he wrapped the duvet around me as I trembled. Maybe he thought I was cold, but I was trembling from all of the places that he, my love, took me with his hands and his mouth and his cock. He took me to heaven, and I lay against his broad chest, listening to his heart pound. He rocked me and rocked me, and the motion was soothing and sweet. Tears trickled down from my eyes to his chest, and he inhaled a sharp intake of breath as he realized that I was still weeping. He whispered my name, and he stroked my back and massaged my quivering butt until I fell into shuddering sighs, and then I fell into a lucid sleep, in complete peace. Though I was in a light sleep, my mind still churned and surprising thoughts and memories bubbled up. I was his, this one man who was all men to me, and it seemed like all of our lives started to come to the surface. I remembered one of his other lives with me, when he was called Kwan‐Ti, and in the middle of the night, I got up and wrote down something in Chinese, a language that I did not know in this life but in a former life with him, my dearest love of all time. I remembered writing Chinese characters with a brush, by the light of an oil lamp. I used my brushes on watercolor paper in my art studio to get it all down in the middle of the night, my spanked skin burning under my bathrobe, not with pain but with a completeness, a satisfaction, a fulfillment. I was well aware of everyone sleeping in the house. Then, I wrote it for him in English so he could read it for himself in the morning. I left it on the pillow, next to him, both the Chinese characters on the rough paper and the handwritten English translation.
88
Loving Will by Eve Boston I bow to you, Kwan‐ti, my Taoist angel. I am surrendered to your lips, soft as rose petals, and your hands, which sear me with your finger marks, to the great joy of my newly surrendered heart. The pain, yes. But yet it is love when we are one and I am burning for you, and from you. I bury my hands in your hair, like soft feathers, blue‐black as a rook’s wing, and arch up into your body, and you take my yoni with your hard pulsing lingam, then give to me a child of our bonded bodies. The same hands that fly up in graceful arcs in practice of martial arts do pinch my nipples and tease my pink pearl to madness, making me cry out your name without ceasing. You are not just my lover. You are my ecstasy. I did not yet know what it meant that a remembrance of him in another life had surfaced—it didn’t seem to make sense yet—I knew only that I should write it down and not waste my gift. If it was satori, then it should not be lost. Who knew if I would remember it tomorrow? I fell back to sleep with a rushing mind, yet a peace that I hadn’t known before tonight. It seemed that each night he took me further and further from sadness and closer to the kind of joy that was ethereal, toward a completeness of my inner Self. When I woke up in the morning to the smells of French toast cooking, and the boys running up and down the stairs in excitement at their new digs, there was a note on the pillow from him, and my missives to him were gone. Thank you for last night, my darling, and for the amazing writings. I took them with me today. I hope that is all right with you. Please trust me with your precious work. I am off to another job interview in the same stinky suit, shirt and underwear that I wore yesterday, and I have to go talk to someone at the university about my late paycheck. I’m going to try and get part of my rent back from my former landlord. I’ll catch up with you later today, and sometime soon we’re going to have to shop for clothes, because
89
Loving Will by Eve Boston this is all that I have. If you buy me some size L underwear today, you can tie me up and have your way with me tonight. I swear, I will pay you back. But I must have clean underwear. Many Longing Kisses Till Next We Make Love from your now‐servant, Will. I smiled as I made the bed and got dressed to face the challenges of the day with my new instant family.

Loving Will by Eve Boston
The Agony and Ecstasy of Will Everyone was asleep, but me, after a hectic day of shopping for clothing, organizing bedrooms and bathrooms, food shopping, and mass consumption of edibles—by growing boys—and a very nice talk between myself and Edith after the boys went to bed. I found her to be warm and compassionate, funny, friendly, and wise. Before everyone collapsed for the night, Edith helped me pack away the things from my baby’s room, now her room. When I cried a few tears, she hugged me and reminded me that she, too, had lost a child, one she had loved for more than thirty years. We held each other and cried, but it was a good cry that connected us more intimately than I expected would happen so soon. The boys tiptoed past we two crying hugging women, and carried the baby crib to the attic and covered it with a sheet, without asking what to do. They just knew. Edith and I pulled things she liked out of the linen closet in order to make the room hers. It took the four of us to carry down a sleigh bed, assemble it, and get a new mattress delivered. Edith had arthritis in her spine, and I wanted her to have a good, comfortable bed. The boys stayed with me while she went to a doctor’s appointment and physical therapy for her back. While she was gone, we played some board games and word games and got to know each other a little bit. I ordered pizza when Edith came back from her appointment, and we watched a video in the living room. The last of the pizza was in the refrigerator, saved for Will.
91
Loving Will by Eve Boston I was bathed and in my red kimono robe that he’d bought me, writing in my journal when, very late, I heard his key turn in the lock of the front door. I wanted to finish up my journal entry and kept writing. I heard his footsteps and the soft click of the bedroom door. I looked up at him and smiled. “Welcome home,” I whispered. “Everyone’s asleep. We saved you some pizza.” “I’m only hungry for you,” was his reply. We kissed, and he asked me if I wanted to share what I had written. Both of us were used to journaling, and sharing our journals, when we were in grief recovery together, and I wasn’t shy with him. I read it out loud, softly, so that I wouldn’t wake Edith or the boys. “I bow to you, my master. I am surrendered to your lips, soft as rose petals, and your hands, which sear me with passion, to the great joy of my surrendered heart. The pain, yes, of my lost child—the pain fades under your warm hands and tender kisses. But I am burning for you, and from you. I bury my hands in your hair, like soft feathers of an angel’s wing, and arch up into your body as you fill me. In my mind, the same hands that fly up in graceful arcs to make pain into pleasure, do pinch and roll my nipples delicately, and tease my pink pearl to madness, making me cry out your name without ceasing, with my voice and in my mind. You are not just my lover. You are my ecstasy.” He kneeled at my feet and drew my hand with the pen in it to his lips, kissing each fingertip. “If ever…” He trailed off and started again. “If ever I take you for granted, please read that to me again, so that I will be humbled and made anew, for you, into the man that I should be to deserve such unfettered worship.” “As you wish,” I said. This was a side of him I had not seen before, devoid of ego. I smiled and got up from the chair and opened the closet. “And, Master, not only have I been penning my desire for you for the last hour, but I bought you a week’s worth of underwear and clothing. Edith helped me with the sizes, and the boys helped me with the styles. She helped me pull the tags off everything, wash them to softness the way that
92
Loving Will by Eve Boston you like, and I hung them up. Your boys and Edith are similarly outfitted.” “Underwear, socks, khaki slacks, and blue Oxford shirts. You angel of mercy.” He kissed me over and over with emphasis until I laughed. “Hey, you said you’ll pay me back when you get your big job, Doctor William Sweet. Don’t make a big deal out of a few clothes. It’s not like you could wear that suit one more day without sending it to the cleaners and walking naked in San Francisco. So how’d it go today?” He sat on the edge of the bed and took off his shoes and socks. “Offers. I have job offers, Janie. And more interviews to come this week. Not only don’t I have to take the first thing to roll in my direction, I can choose something wonderful, because you gave us shelter.” He laughed. “I don’t know what that job is yet. But it will be wonderful, I promise. For all of us.” “I’m glad to hear it. Something should look up for you. I know how hard the last year has been for you, and yesterday, losing your place to live…that had to be quite shocking and humbling.” “Indeed.” He drew out his wallet from his pants. “I got all of my rent money back from my landlord. We always paid in advance. I take back everything bad that I was thinking about him. He wrote me a check immediately upon my request, and I cashed it before he could put a stop pay on it. I can pay you back for clothing for everyone, and groceries at least.” I shook my head. “Put that in your pocket, and tomorrow, sock it away in the bank. We’ll work it out when you get yourself gainfully employed.” “Thank you. I have never been in a humiliating situation like this before. They say that most people are two paychecks away from being homeless. As a grad student, it has always been pretty close to one paycheck. I didn’t think I was going to make it.” “But you did. Now great things are in store for you. I’m so excited for you, sweetheart.” “You are so good to me.” He stripped off the rest of his clothes. “Come talk to me while I take a shower. Tell me what you did all day with
93
Loving Will by Eve Boston Edith and the boys.” I sat on the lid of the toilet and chatted with him, watching him soap himself and wash his hair through the clear glass shower doors. “We had quite a day of moving furniture, shopping for clothes, food shopping, and lots of eating. I can’t believe how much your boys eat. More than an adult.” He smiled. “Those are my boys. I used to be skinny as a rail, like them, and eat everything in sight. It does catch up with one after age thirty though.” My mouth twitched with amusement. “You are not fat. You’re quite solid and muscular.” Will stepped out of the shower and dried himself off with the towel I handed him. “Is that right? Am I muscular?” he asked, and I noticed his penis was hard. “Oh no, you don’t, Master. I am still very sore from last night, and I could barely walk today. We’re going to have to start having vanilla sex on alternate nights or something. I lost five pounds that I didn’t need to lose, as if I’d been to the gym and punished myself with a brutal workout.” His brows knit with concern. “You better eat a bit more, darling. I meant it the other day when I said your hipbones were jabbing me. I’m a little worried. You aren’t anorexic are you?” “No, of course not. I just lost a lot of weight after my baby died. I lost my appetite, but I assure you, I put away a half a pizza tonight. Having other people to eat with, laugh with, it is so wonderful, like I have a family. Your children are animated, friendly, and delightful. Your mother‐in‐law is open and honest and full of love. To share all of them with me is such a gift. It was so normal today. As if we all fit together. The only one missing was you.” He smiled at me. “That’s wonderful. I was a little worried. Christopher is a love bug, but Willie can be so cynical sometimes. He hasn’t let go of his mother yet. Not shed a tear in a year. I worry about him. He has some anger issues about her death.” “I saw none of that today. Your boys are a treasure, and how could
94
Loving Will by Eve Boston I not love a woman who loves to cook in my kitchen? We cleaned up the dishes together, and I had memories of my own mom before she died of cancer when I was a teen. It was so comforting to have an older woman near me. I haven’t had that in forever.” “You look happy,” he said. “I am happy. Today was just getting to know each other, but I feel good about it. About everything, since you came into my life.” “Good enough to play a bit, nothing too extreme? I don’t want to wear you out.” “Didn’t I read something in your note about me tying you up and having my way with you if I bought you underwear today?” He blushed. “Yes, Mistress,” he said. “That was the bargain. So I promised.” “Good,” I replied. “Because I intend to hold you to it. I have everything to tie you down and have my way with you. I assume you were serious?” “I was.” He looked a little uncomfortable though. “Need a bathroom stop?” I asked. He gulped. “I’d better.” I closed the bathroom door behind me, and in the bedroom, I drew out the silken cords to tie him down, and the blindfold for his eyes, and the flogger, a little thing made of soft edged suede that I found in a leather shop while buying Edith a pair of shoes. The clerk had them in a showcase behind the counter, and they were labeled as dusters. I smiled, armed with restraints and a half hour’s reading on the Internet about taking a restrained man to his limits. I heard the toilet flush, the shower ran. He came out with a towel wrapped around his waist, a bit of shaving cream behind one ear, and water droplets on his shoulders from showering again after using the toilet. And shaving. “You are the most beautiful man I have ever seen,” I said, and we kissed. I stroked his ear and wiped away the shaving cream. “You smell delicious, as well.” “Thank you, Mistress. How may I pleasure you?” he asked, and I saw a light in his eyes that I hadn’t seen before. It was acquiescence.
95
Loving Will by Eve Boston Before we even started. I hoped he would be a challenge, but I could see curiosity and cooperation in his hazel‐amber eyes. There was an awkward silence between us. “I realize that you have never done this before. But I am completely at your command.” I let my robe fall open so he could see me naked. I drew the flogger over my own body, from breasts to pussy, and kept my eyes open, letting him see what I had in my hand. His eyes widened in surprise. “Where did you get that?” “I bought it today in a leather shop. Is this what you had in mind?” I asked, now drawing the flogger strands over his well‐defined bone structure, starting at his collarbone and Adam’s apple, then softly drew it downward, against his beautiful clean skin. His hard cock pulsed and rose higher toward his belly. I drew the soft strands of the suede across his cock, and a bead of moisture tear dropped at the end of it. He moaned deep in his throat. “I see that it is just what you wanted from me. More, right? This is more.” I bent to kiss his cock and licked the droplet before it was wasted on the carpet. I ran the flogger up and down his thighs and gave him a little tap with it on the butt. He closed his eyes and sighed with obvious pleasure. “Put this blindfold on, and lay on the bed face down.” I peeled back the covers to reveal the bed dressed in new black satin sheets. He ran his hand over the slickness and laid down, slipping the blindfold onto his eyes. “Yes, my Mistress.” “Can you see anything through that?” “No.” “Put your arms out to the sides.” He did so, and I tied him to the bedposts. “And now your legs. Spread them.” I tied his ankles to the foot railing. I used slipknots for quick release. “Comfy?” “Yes.”
96
Loving Will by Eve Boston “I’ll be right back. I have to heat something.” His body visibly tightened. I went to the bathroom and ran a bottle of cocoa butter oil under hot water until it was very warm, then came back to the bedroom. I turned on the bedside lamp so I could have more light. I poured some of the heated oil on his back, and he sighed in pleasure. I massaged the oil into his skin and went up and down his back with my hands. Soft groans of pleasure emanated from him. “This isn’t what I expected,” he said. I gave him a little spank. “Is this what you want?” He sighed. “Please.” “Maybe you want it too badly. You will have to earn this by talking to me.” “Talking?” he asked. I continued to massage his back and was working my way down to his legs. “I want to know things about you, things that you’ve kept secret.” He hesitated. “Yes, Mistress. Ask.” I ran my fingers over the faint scars on his back that could only be seen in the bright lamplight of the bedside. “I want to know if you got these scars as a submissive.” “Some of them, yes. My wife was quite the sadist with the whip and often got carried away. But I don’t want to talk about her when I am in bed with you. We are different.” I gasped, the reality of their marriage roles sinking into my brain. “A few of the scars were from academic punishment,” he said. “Tell me about the latter, then.” I heard him swallow hard. I kept massaging. “It’s OK. I will listen and not mock you or judge you. This is for the good of us. There are things that I must know about you, to understand you as well as you understand me.” He exhaled a terrible sigh, and I worked the tension from his solid body with my hands. “My first year of undergrad, I was quite a screw‐off. I almost
97
Loving Will by Eve Boston flunked out. I didn’t realize how spoiled and egotistical I was, at first. I started drinking and doing worse and worse at my studies. I partied a lot. I slept with many, many sorority girls. It came down to the wire the last week before final exams, and I realized that I was wasting my father’s money and throwing away my education. He and I had a long talk, and he decided that he wanted me to join an academic fraternity with certain penalties for bad grades and failure to be a productive member of society. “My sophomore year, I was allowed to have only one steady girlfriend, handpicked by the fraternity, and I had to buckle down in school or be punished. The marks that you see on me are from being caned for less than a B on anything. I learned soon, though, that this was what I needed to improve myself. I don’t think I could have done it otherwise. I was undisciplined and immature. I learned, though, to succeed.” “That’s awful.” “Don’t pity me. I chose this avenue. I could have left the academic fraternity at any time. But if I did, I knew I would have failed and ended up losing my dream of becoming a scientist. I needed the discipline, and it was worth it, in the end, as you see, I have my doctorate. However, I do not recommend this sort of extreme academic training for the faint of heart. I had a goal and it would have slipped away without the brothers in undergrad. By grad school, we parted, because I no longer needed them. They understood that.” I kissed the scars on his back and all the way to his butt. “Will,” I crooned. I had tears in my eyes. “Caned. My God.” “Don’t cry over that. I’m tougher than you expect. Without that discipline, I would have ended up an academic dropout, a beer‐guzzling failure.” I massaged his butt, and he moaned, a guttural sound, as I reached between his legs to caress his testicles. “And the steady girlfriend picked by the fraternity? Was that your wife?” “Yes. She got pregnant, and it was unthinkable not to marry her. I knew that she had a drinking problem, but I figured she’d give that up
98
Loving Will by Eve Boston after college. I was wrong.” “I’m sorry.” “I am sorry, too. We had some happy times. But for that one thing, perhaps we would still be married. She would still be alive.” “You loved her very much.” “How could I not love the mother of my children? Unless you are a complete dolt, a woman who gives you children is someone to be honored.” I drew in my breath. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that. I think your first husband should have loved you, regardless of whether your child lived.” “Thank you,” I said. “Sometimes it just still hurts like a fresh wound that my husband blamed me, though it was not my fault. Besides the academic fraternity, please could you tell me about your life as a Dom and a sub? I am just trying to understand. I love the things that you do to me. You’re always measured, and you never cross the line into real pain, and you never anger. How do you know all of these things?” I bent to kiss his feet after I massaged them, and spread a towel on the bed next to him, then I untied him and had him roll over onto the towel so he wouldn’t get oil on the sheets. Now he was facing up, and I saw that his erection was gone. I tied him again, hands and feet. “My girlfriend, my wife, was in the life a Domme, and even after we married, she did not want to leave the life. She and I did some party circuits. There was very little sex, but a lot of the dungeon‐type of pain. Sometimes it got very extreme. I learned that she had a quite cruel streak. She was quite the whip wielder, and sometimes I still shudder to think of the anger behind her strokes on me. With you, I have a responsibility to draw very safe boundaries, not make permanent injuries to your skin, or to your psyche.” I cringed. “Thank you. I am really a lightweight compared to what you have experienced.” “You are,” he agreed. “I like the play that we have, though. The power exchange between us seems healthy to me, and I hope to you as well. I don’t ever want you to be angry or humiliated, or harmed beyond
99
Loving Will by Eve Boston your limits.” “I am whole with you. I am understood and cherished. Please, go on.” “I lived both as a Dom and a sub at those parties and gatherings, and in private with my wife, I was very sub. When her pregnancy was showing, it was hard for her to be convincing as a Domme at the parties and gatherings. I wanted the games with other people to stop, too. I wanted the privacy of our own married life. We left the group, with her practically kicking and screaming that she wanted to keep on with it. We moved to San Francisco so I could do my master’s and my doctorate here, and we left the New York dungeon life far behind. It was, I’d hoped, a fresh start for us, more family oriented, tamer at least. She missed it, I know, the giving of pain, the control over others. She did not take kindly to me pulling her away from her addiction to brandishing a whip on the asses of old men for lots of money. She took over the care and feeding of two children, and me. Sometimes I did not appreciate her enough. I turned her into something she was not, a housewife, and she retaliated and withdrew more and more as the years wore on. The only thing she had left of herself that she loved was being a tattoo artist.” “You blame yourself for her drinking problem?” “In some ways.” He hesitated. “This is painful, more painful than if you were to take that flogger and flay the hell out of me. That I could take. That I would even prefer, as long as I got to make love with you afterwards.” “I know. But I have to know all of this, even if it hurts. It even helps me to understand myself, as well as you. I’m trying to figure out why all of these years, the sex that I had seemed to be lacking. Then along came you, the man who has opened me up to sexual adventures and made me stop being afraid of the intensity of a physical relationship. With you, I can let go of fear and inhibitions. Anything could happen in our bedroom, but I have confidence that you would never ever hurt me, or take me to anywhere close to fear.” “That is called trust. When I was a Dom, I learned to make people trust me. I learned what their boundaries were. I learned what buttons
100
Loving Will by Eve Boston could be pressed and what shouldn’t be touched. For example, I know, without you telling me, that you were molested as a child.” I gasped. “How did you know? I never wrote about it or told anyone in my journals.” “I just know. I could see it in the fear in your face that you cloaked as shyness, sense your reticence at intimacy, and I respect your carefully drawn boundaries. I know not to do any Daddy scenes with you. They would be painful emotional triggers and harm your spirit. I know that you are afraid of my belt. I watch your eyes when I slide it out of my pants when I get undressed, and I know that the belt will never be used in sex play, because you are terrified of it.” He paused for a moment. “I tied you up though, you seemed to like it.” “I did like it, Will. Belts don’t scare me when you use them like that, not for hitting, only for holding me there. And only you.” He nodded, his eyes on mine. “Should I go on?” “Yes,” I agreed. “I know you. You have complex emotions about sex, but I am training you with care in the ways of letting go of pain and acknowledging that lovemaking is about pleasure, with no holding back. I will never give you more than you can bear, I promise. I will never take away your self‐esteem. I know how to humiliate people. You learn that as a Dom, and it was one of the most tragic things to see other Doms take a submissive past the point of no return, to where they were worse off, instead of on the road to healing.” “Is having a master supposed to be healing me?” “I always respect and honor that the submissive is gifting me with the power over her. I find where a woman is broken and I help her to become her best Self. Not everyone who is in the life is good at this, though. Nor caring. Some of them are true sadists, without mercy, and will hurt a submissive beyond emotional and physical repair, even to the point of her suicide. Sad to say, I saw it time and again, and it made me ill to see a submissive mistreated to the point where an emergency room visit was warranted, or she turned herself in to a mental hospital. I took the good things that I learned from that life and brought them with me, but I
101
Loving Will by Eve Boston left the darker things behind. I do not like to cause pain to anyone. I want to use what I know to love just one woman, completely. I want her to be secure, safe, loved, free, and uninhibited, but yet under my guidance, my protection. Her happiness and well being is my primary responsibility. Yours is mine.” I’d heard enough. I massaged the cocoa butter oil into his chest, and his nipples rose to points under my fingertips. His ribs lifted to meet my hands. His arms, legs, and feet stretched toward my touch. I kissed and licked his cock. I lay on top of him and kissed his soft and generous lips, putting my tongue in his mouth. He put his into mine, and I drew his lower lip between my teeth and nibbled it. He moaned. I straddled him, fed him my breasts, and rubbed my shaved vulva against his throbbing cock. He was slick with pre‐cum. “Mistress, please untie me so that I can put my arms around you.” I drew the flogger across his skin, teasing him. “Not yet.” I nibbled on his nipples then gave each one a sharp little nip. “Mmmm,” he said. “I want you to know that I am not going to be able to use this flogger on you after our conversation.” He sighed, seeming a little disappointed. “Maybe I could give you a play spanking, but not as hard as you would like.” A grin grew on his lips, just under the blindfold. “I already knew this about you, that you could not strike me. It is all right. You only see me as your master. You do not handle power play in the same way that I do, although perhaps someday you will be confident enough to do this. Right now, you are all woman, and a fragile, sweet, loving, and tender creature who is born for surrender to me. I have no doubt that you are under my care, nor do you. If you torment me at all, I assume you will use your mouth and your hands in a way that I won’t complain of physical pain, but only denial of pleasure. Until you are ready to release me, to fulfillment, I am your gentle servant.” I untied his hands and feet and pulled the blindfold from his eyes.
102
Loving Will by Eve Boston “I love you. For knowing me to the very core.” We kissed. “Mistress, can we please stop talking about emotional baggage and make love?” “I guess I am not your mistress. Call me Jane,” I said. “And have your way with me. I don’t know what to do with all of this power.” “Oh, yes you do. You just don’t realize that you do have power.” He pulled my head down to his cock by my hair and whispered, “Lick. Suck. Touch. Swallow. That is power over me. Do not ever doubt that you are the one in control when you bend to serve me. Even as your master, I am at your complete mercy.” I did as he asked. He lay back on the pillows, stroked my hair and shoulders, and ran his fingers up and down my spine. I licked his beautiful cock and the veins of it ridged up under my tongue. I steepled my fingers around his cock and raised and lowered the flesh to follow the path of my mouth. I nibbled the veins delicately and heard him say my name as he arch up into my face. I think that when a man says a woman’s name when she pleases him, it is an acknowledgment of her worth. As I sucked and licked and pulled his flesh with one hand, I reached between his spread legs and found the hard walnut shape of his prostate gland in his perineum and massaged it as his legs fell apart in submission to my ministrations. “My God. You are my beauty, and I love you,” he whispered. “Please, please, don’t stop.” I did as my master asked, and when he came, I drank of him and licked every drop into my mouth. Then we kissed, and I knew he could taste his own cum in my saliva. His eyes were moist, and his face was full of deep agony of having been sucked so hard and for so long. I looked at the clock and realized that I played him with my mouth and hands for an hour before he came. My jaw was tired, and I rested my head on his shoulder. His arms went around me, and we snuggled. “I want to give you a child soon.” I smiled up at him and kissed his lips again. “I think that would be a lovely gift from you. I ache to be filled with your child.”

Loving Will by Eve Boston “I want you to buy an ovulation kit tomorrow, and we’ll make sure we have vaginal sex when you are most fertile.” I nodded. “Yes, Master.” “Are you ready for a child again?” “Your child. Yes. More than anything, except for you, I want a child of you. Are you sure you want me to get an ovulation kit? It’s not like we miss a night here.” “Yes. I want to make sure that the night when you are most fertile, that you aren’t swallowing my cum or rubbing it into your breasts or getting it sprayed over you. It has to be in you, not decorating you.” I giggled. “I suppose on some level I knew that.” He gave me a playful spank. “No mocking your master.” “If I wasn’t still a little stiff from last night, I would mock you just so you would spank me again.” “You want it too much, so you can wait.” “Tease,” I said. He pulled me across his lap and reached for the flogger, dragging the suede strands of it across my bare skin. “Oh my, that is good,” I said. “Just wait, my pretty,” he warned. “Just wait until I use this on you.” “Dare you,” I challenged. The leather strings come down swiftly and it stung worse than I imagined it would when I bought the thing. “Ow!” “Be careful what you dare me to do,” he said. Then he put the flogger in the drawer of the nightstand. He rubbed my butt and bent to kiss it better. “We’ll have to see what strokes are appropriate. It packs more of a wallop than the soft texture of the strands would have you believe at first impression.” “I’ll say,” I agreed. “I’m sorry I dared you. I know better than that, don’t I?” He smiled. “Yes, you do.” He bent his head and sucked my breasts.

Loving Will by Eve Boston I moaned. “Since you are so sore, Mistress,” he teased, “and I am spent for the night, thanks to your long and loving ministrations to my cock, I’d like to masturbate you to orgasm.” “Yes, Master.” I lay down flat on the bed and spread my legs. He poured some of the warm oil on his hand, and he spread it on my breasts and my vulva, working it into all the folds. I closed my eyes, just to enjoy his touch and focus on it. He played me with his fingers, flicking my clit into submission, and tormented it with light pinching and pulling on my labia. I sighed with pleasure as ripples of orgasms began to surface, and he played with my nipples and with my clit, back and forth until I was panting and breathless and arching up into his fingers. “Thank you, Master. Thank you for being so gentle when I am so tired. When I submit and let you take me to orgasm, I am complete, fulfilled.” He held me close while the orgasms subsided. “I forgot to tell you something wonderful that happened today. I meant it to be my first news. Shame on me.” I sat up in bed next to him. “What is it?” “I showed your Chinese brush characters and your translation to my friend, Wang Su, who is a professor of Chinese language and culture at the University. He says you have bad grammar, your spelling is archaic, and you are overly romantic, but yes, you have a flair for writing in the Chinese language. Your linguistic race memory is genuine.” The hair on the back of my neck rose. “Oh, my God. I’m not crazy. For real. I’m really remembering past lives. My languages. My experiences. They’re all real.” “Yes. This is real. You are not crazy in the least. You’re one of the most unique people in the entire world, to be tapped into your past lives like this. In exquisite linguistic detail.” My heart soared on his words as the stigmata of thinking I was mentally ill for most of my life fell away like a broken eggshell. “Wow. Just wow,” was all I could express. “What are you going to do with your gift?” “Love you. Love your family. Write more books. Paint more
105
Loving Will by Eve Boston pictures. In that order.” “No alerting the media?” I shook my head. “God, no. I don’t need that kind of attention. As long as you know it’s real, and I do, and Edith does, and maybe the boys when they’re old enough to understand, then that’s all that I need. Only the people who I love need know that my gift is real. Under cover as a fiction author, I can say anything that I want, and no one will call me crazy or a fraud.” “I agree. You are very wise.” “What about your friend at the university who saw my Chinese writings? Would he tell anyone?” “I have known him for years and would trust him with my life.” Will paused. “We knew each other very well in New York and have been close ever since.” I raised my eyebrows in a question that I did not dare to utter, but he understood what I wanted to know. “Yes, I knew him from when we were academic fraternity brothers. He is older than I, discreet to a fault, and believes in past lives. It is a part of his religion. He would never tell a soul, unless we ask him to do so.” I breathed a sigh of relief. “Our lives are coming together.” “I can’t complain.” “I can. I want the pizza that we saved for you.” “Split it with you?” he suggested. I nodded, and we went off to the kitchen to warm up a midnight snack in the microwave, and listen to soft music in our bathrobes, in front of a crackling fireplace, on a chilly summer night in San Francisco.

Will Proposes I awakened early, trying to be up before Edith so I could make breakfast for everyone. I cooked multigrain pancakes, turkey bacon, mountains of scrambled eggs, and used the juicer to make fresh‐pressed orange juice from the trees in my backyard. The boys came down in swimsuits and T‐shirts that we’d purchased the day before, to replace the ones they lost in the fire. We couldn’t find their team’s exact swimsuits, as it was almost the end of the season. Christopher bounded up to me and threw his arms around me in a hug that almost squeezed the breath out of me. A rush of maternal happiness surged through me. “What was that for, Chris?” I asked around a laugh. “For my own room, and my new clothes, and for breakfast, and for my dad because he’s smiling.” I bent over and hugged him tight, my eyes welling with tears. He was such an open child. “You’re welcome. I’m so glad that you’re all here.” “We’re in a swim meet today.” “I know. Two p.m.—I have some work to do this morning while you go to practice and your grandma takes you to lunch, but I’ll for sure be there this afternoon to see you and Willie swim in the meet.” “What kind of work do you do?” “Right now, I do fashion illustrations for a magazine. But
107
Loving Will by Eve Boston sometimes I paint pictures and sell them, and I have written a couple of books for kids.” “Like kids my age?” Christopher asked. “I think so,” I replied. “Maybe we can look at them tonight, if you want.” “OK,” he said. Willie shoveled in his food as if he hadn’t eaten a whole pizza last night. He tasted the pancakes and maple syrup and grunted in appreciation. “Slow down, Willie,” said Edith as she came into the kitchen. “The food isn’t going to run away.” “Carb loading before the swim meet,” Willie replied, but he slowed down. “This looks delicious,” remarked Edith as she fixed herself a modest plate of food. “Thank you. I appreciate you cooking, but you shouldn’t be obligated to do it every day,” I said. “I’ll clean up, too. I know you’re in a rush this morning.” “It’s nice to have another pair of hands to share the work,” Edith said, and sat beside me. She smiled at me, and I felt her mothering spread over me in a pleasant way. Will was dressed in new clothing, khaki slacks and a blue oxford shirt, with a navy necktie, and put a napkin in his lap. “Thank you for breakfast, Jane. What’s the plan for today?” Edith spoke first. “Jane’s lending me her car so we don’t have to transfer three times on the bus to get to the pool. The boys have morning swim practice, then I’m taking them to lunch with a friend of mine, and then the swim meet is at two o’clock. Can you make it?” “Today I have interviews at nine, eleven, and one, but I’ll do my best,” he replied. “That’s very nice of you to lend out your car.” “I don’t need it today,” I told him. “I have some fashion illustrations to do for my new art contract. I can walk them over to the magazine and take the bus right from there to the swim meet. It’s a bit of walking, but I need the exercise after all that pizza last night.”
108
Loving Will by Eve Boston He dug two twenties out of his pocket and gave them to Edith, then kissed her on the cheek. “For lunch and snacks today. Thank you for taking care of the boys.” “Grandma’s fun,” Christopher said. Edith put her arm around him. Willie filled his plate with pancakes again. It was going to be a challenge keeping everyone fed until Will got a job. Edith and the boys left with their towels and some frozen juice boxes. I heard the slamming of car doors, my car starting, and then pulling out of my garage onto the street. Then the sound of the automatic garage door closing. Will kissed me goodbye and went out the front door to catch the trolley, then I heard his key in the lock as he came back in. I sighed. I had work to do before this afternoon came to a busy head. He crossed the living room. “Forget something?” I asked. His hazel‐amber eyes measured me. “Are you still tired and sore from the night before last?” I giggled. “No, Master. I am fine now, but you have a job interview and I have a kitchen to clean and several fashion illustrations to create. I have to be able to sit at my drawing desk.” “Quickie then? For luck?” I put my arms around his neck and stood on tiptoe to kiss him. Our tongues entwined, and he tasted like maple syrup and multigrain pancakes. “Mmm, you’re delicious,” I said into his mouth, and nibbled on his lower lip and sucked it into my mouth. “What if I only give you five minutes for this quickie?” “Into the bedroom and lock the door,” he ordered. Within moments, Master had me bent over the arm of the loveseat in the bedroom, flipped my summer dress up, jerked my panties down to my knees, and he spread me. Thank goodness I had just showered. His fingers played with me from the back. Within a minute, he had me moaning and wet, and he thrust into me over and over while he reached around to play with my clit. He took
109
Loving Will by Eve Boston me hard and fast, his cock ramming into me with the fervor of a man who was stealing moments and trying to fill those moments with the passion of hours. As I began to come, I cried out, and he spanked me with his free hand while he never let up on the torment of my clit. My ass stung, and I tried to get away from his hand. “Don’t struggle. Come for me. Come and I will stop spanking you.” So I did. I came and came. He spilled inside of me and pressed himself to my back, even adding a wiggling finger inside of me. I knew he could feel me pulsing around his cock and finger. It was a violent set of orgasms, and he held me tight while I panted and moaned and writhed under him. “Master.” He massaged and kissed down the length of my spine, from the nape of my neck to my butt, making me shudder and cry out his name again and again. He gave my clit a hard flick with his finger, and I bucked under him from the extra orgasm that surged through me like a knife through butter. He did it again and again to my clit, at least a dozen times, until I begged him to please stop. He swirled his fingers over my mons and withdrew from me, dripping cum all over me. He grabbed a towel from the bed, thrust it under me, lest I drip on the furniture. “You said I could only have five minutes. I had to give you the condensed version of what I really wanted. Are you OK?” I giggled and rubbed my butt. “I guess that means that you are OK. I like to work up to such exuberance, but you gave me no choice when you said only five minutes. Let that be a lesson to you” “Good God. If I would have known you were going to be all that, I would have made it an hour. That was…intense. You better go, though, or you’ll be late for your job interview.” He sprinted to the shower to rinse off his cock. Then he dressed again, jumped into his pants like a fireman, kissed my cheeks, then left my house, leaving me still resting, bent over the arm of the loveseat, panting
110
Loving Will by Eve Boston and shuddering with rolling waves of orgasms, cum dripping down my legs. As hard as it was to move, still sticky on me, I filled up the tub with cool water and some lavender bubble bath. I was euphoric, violated, giggly, and mad with renewed passion—all of those emotions at once. My pussy pulsed with renewed pulling and tugging as I rewound the scene in my head and touched myself. I wanted to play with myself and think of him, taking me like that so hard, so quick, so slapdash and without apology. It was different, and not what I would want every day, but he was full of passion and never wasted it. Never. With a house full of people, I had an inkling that we would have to steal these moments quite often, to be able to cry out, moan, spank and slap skin against skin like horse and rider heading for the finish line. Oh, but I loved him and wanted him all the more. Every day, I became more and more, that I was his. Not only did I get my illustrations turned in, I was asked to prepare some samples of my work for Sweet Fruits, Sweet Goth’s sister magazine. Elated, I had work for a month. By the time I left the art editor’s office, it was getting late and I had to hurry to catch the bus to the swimming pool. I had to run for it, my portfolio banging my legs and my yellow dress flying up in the breeze created by traffic zooming past. Luckily, I had worn my red Keds and was up to the task of running. I hoped to be able to make it on the bus to the sports park by two o’clock to watch the boys swim. I got off the bus and ran straight to the pool, just before two, and shaded my eyes from the bright sun, looking for Edith in the spectator area. I had forgotten to bring my sunglasses and was squinting into the crowd when a hand patted my butt and gave it a little squeeze. I whirled around indignant, saw that it was Will, and burst into relieved laughter. We kissed, and then he took my hand and led me to some bleachers in the shade where Edith sat with a water bottle in one hand, and a Japanese fan in the other. “Good, you both made it in time. Christopher is in the first heat.”
111
Loving Will by Eve Boston I sat next to Edith and gave her arm a little squeeze. “Did you have a good day so far?” “Oh, good and exhausting. The boys were just balls of nervous energy, like they are on all the swim meet days. They had a lot of fun with my friend and me at lunch.” “Great,” I replied. “You’ll have to bring your friend home so I can meet her.” Edith turned to me with an amused smile. “My friend is a him. And perhaps friend isn’t the proper word.” I laughed with surprise at the look on her face. Edith had a boyfriend. Will put his arm around me and shrugged. We were both sweaty, and I could smell him. He smelled good, though, very good. “Did you come here together?” I shook my head. “Nope, but we can all fit in the car on the way home, though.” We spent the rest of the afternoon getting sunburned, cheering on Willie and Christopher’s swim team, and collecting the blue, red, yellow, and white ribbons that they brought to us. I chatted between Will and Edith, and they drew me into a sense of family that had escaped me all of my life, except for my beloved brother. But this was different. A couple of times, my lower lip trembled with emotion. Once when Christopher asked me to put some sunscreen on his back. I touched the hot, browned skin, little eight‐year‐old shoulders squirmed under my fingers as I spread the lotion on his back. Chris said, “Thanks, Mom,” and ran off to play with his friends as they waited for another race to begin. Edith heard Christopher’s misspeak, and the second moment of my lip trembling came when she reached to clasp my hand in hers and squeeze it, not taking her eyes off Willie, who was in the water, churning away at the butterfly, slaying all competitors with the beauty of a very difficult stroke. I squeezed her hand back, and she didn’t let go until Willie’s race was over and we were all applauding. He got a red ribbon, a very close second, and then the winner was disqualified for an illegally executed flip turn, and Willie got the blue instead. We cheered till we
112
Loving Will by Eve Boston were hoarse, and all hugged each other. When both boys were through with their swims, they brought their towels and reclined to watch the rest of the meet to cheer on their teammates. I asked the boys if I could draw them, and they both said it was OK. I got out my oil pastels and did a portrait of each of them, sunlit from the back, excitement on their faces, their apple cheeks reddened by the sun and exercise, smiles and bright eyes. When I was finished, I sprayed the drawings with a fixative, over in the grass, away from everyone, then went to show them. They said thank you, but it was Christopher’s eyes who were the brightest. He was quite an expressive little fellow, and it was all I could do not to grab him and kiss his sweet little face. I knew I had to be careful not to transfer my maternal instincts for my lost baby boy to Christopher. It would be easy to do, but he was a sensitive boy and should only be loved for his own self. Willie asked if I would give him some art lessons over the summer, and I asked what kind of art. He replied, “Anatomy. I want to be a pediatrician when I grow up. I want to learn to draw all the bones and put skin on them.” “I can teach you that,” I promised. “Me, too?” Christopher said. “But I want to draw fire trucks.” “I’ve never drawn a truck, but we’ll give it a whirl together,” I said. “My older brother is a fireman.” “No kidding,” Will said. “You’ve never mentioned him before. Not even in your journals.” “We don’t see each other much,
