Chapter Four

  Jules has woken Sk'lar up from the couch where he zonked out exhausted, and led him by the hand to her room. Her bed was draped with maroon and cream batik curtains, and she had lit candles and incense. This was the first male she ever had in her room at night, the first time ever she experience any type of sex that wasn't committed to herself by herself in the home she was raised in. She had told her mother before Lucinda had gone to bed that she wanted him, couldn't get the images of him out of her mind, and it was drenching her underwear every time she was near him. Her mother told her if she had a problem like that that she better just fix it, so in the attic of the cottage at the dam overlooking Great Falls, Sk'lar and Julsey made love for the first time. Neither one were virgins, but a certain kind of virginity was offered to and lost to each other that night.

  He was forceful and took control, but was gentle and slow and deliberate. He started by caress and then provided gentle kisses that gave her chills and goosebumps. With his mouth he went up and down her body until he burred his face in her musk. As she exploded in climax she flooded his face, something she didn't expect and was a completely new reaction and experience, and when he rose to and finally enter her and she arched her back, locking his legs so he couldn't escape, and thrust back and in time with him until they both reached that blissful state together and collapsed exhausted. The bedding was soaked, and they both sweat so much they were as actually clean as if they had just showered.

  Sk'lar had only gotten about 90 minutes sleep before she woke him up to this blessed surprise, and they didn't get any sleep until the dawn 3 hours later. The were relentless in a controlled passion in their first of what was to be many mutual orgasms, and he drove her into a frenzy of multiplicity so that by the time he was done all he had to do was blow on her genitalia to make her shiver yet again.

  Sk'lar had heard her parents rising, and decided to let Julsey sleep just a little longer, after all, he had worn her our like a ragdoll. When he made it to the kitchen Lucinda just smiled at him. Marc seemed too embarrassed to do anything other than say “good morning” and excused himself to check on the equipment in the plant. What Marcus didn't know was that when Lucinda had heard her daughter she stirred with desire and attacked her own husband for her own satisfaction as well. It must have been contagious that night. Lucinda whistled and sang and hummed as she served him a breakfast of fresh eggs, fresh fruit, Bulgar wheat, butter, homemade biscuits and honey. She made a plate for her daughter and brought it to her room, then woke her. “Yo, sleepy. Yous guys woke the owls up last night. I thought there was a cat in heat locked in the house.” Lucinda was chuckling as she poked fun at her daughter for the first time on the level of sisters or friends more than mother/daughter.

  Julsey looked frozen for embarrassment, but then her mother said “Done is done, and what's meant to be is. Yous two got it like that for a reason. No reason for regrets. Least you both got chemistry together.” Relaxed at this new openness with her mother Julsey admitted. “Yusss, oh God, my legs are still twitchin...” she said in surprise. Her mother stopped in her tracks for a second then just laughed a little and left the room. “Getcha ass movin', yous two need to catch the rail soon, right?. Already missed the first train. Got time to make next one if you move yur ass a little.” Lucinda finished the conversation on the fly, going downstairs to load their little electric utility truck with four bags Jules had packed the night before.

  They made it to the station in short order, and Lucinda made Sk'lar ride up front with her to give her husband a few last moments alone with his little girl. “I'm gunna mis ya, Jules. I like this one here though. He's smart, nice, well-mannered... least ya listened to a little of what I said through the years.” She answered back quickly. “I listened to everything, Daddy. He's kinda like you. I didn't see it as clear until yesterday afternoon when yous two were just hangin', yo, and then last night more; and I didn't notice when I met him, but saw later when you two were together talkin' shop. He's got your temperament and smarts. It'll be alright. Besides, we can skype or cel. I know you ain't much for that, yo, but ain't like I'm gone, just a little bit away.” She was in his lap like she had been growing up. They reached the station and Sk'lar lifted her down out of the bed as her father got the bags ready to be set down off the back. “I'll get the tickets” she said as she went over to the window, “two Red Bank” she said to the clerk. “five twenty each, total's ten forty.” She handed him a ten coin and two quarters. The machine on the desk spit out four tickets, there would be one transfer at the Hub. They climbed the platform. The station was still an elevated section of rail running over the street below. You could almost see their cottage from there.

  Beth and Anne, Julsey's best friends, came running up to make their goodbyes, and took her away to go get a couple of teas after Jules had shown him off a little first, and he had been introduced to Anne. Beth was taking pictures of everything and everyone like it was a wedding or birthday party. Sk'lar was left standing with her parents. “Yo, I'm gunna' take good care of her, straight up and bond. Yous guys are welcome any time.” He paused and then continued. “Thank you, both of yous, you been waay cool ta me. Preich.”

  “I think my baby's in good hands, if there's any problems you'd know about it quick, just do the same, okay?” Her mom said as the they let that conversation go as the girls came back. He nodded in affirmation. There was a horn in the distance,

  “That's it, yous guys.” Lucinda marked the end of the waiting to make the final farewell; hugs began to get exchanged frantically as the train came to a stop along the platform.
