Surrender

[rvplymates]

Julia heard him yelling good bye to her in an annoyed tone of voice. Obviously he was either angry because she had to leave or wanted her to leave so he could be with his companion. She chose the latter as his reason and turned and walked away still wondering if she was making a mistake. No, she thought, strangers were a danger to her and they were no exceptions. She wandered for a while until she found a road and took it. When her mind would wander to the two people she met she pushed it away. It was over and that was that. But still, it would have been nice to stay at least the night.

 

[macmillian]

I watched as Julia disapeared into the dark cool of the woods and passed from sight. Now to find Cassi. She swam just a few feet away from meand I swam over to her. It just just shallow enough for me to stand and my arms encircled her slender waist and pull her to me.

I kiss her neck and then her shoulder. Cassi leaned back against me and all I could hear was the birds and the bees and insects.

 

[rvplymates]

Julia followed the road for a long time. She began to get tired and was very hungry. She thought of the dog that Alex and Cassy had prepared. If only she had not been so stubborn at least she would have had a meal before going on this road to no where. Finally she knew she could not take another step and stepped into the woods. She found a nice clump of trees to give her shelter for the night. She laid down on the grass and was fast asleep in minutes.

Her dreams were troubled as they were of by gone days. Finally the repeating dream had her in its grip. She was sitting in the palor listening to her Dad play the Harpscord. He played it beautifully and when he was done she clapped for him. He came over to her and sat down and held her hand telling her he needed to talk with her. He explained she was of marriage age and he had made a match for her. Julia did not want to marry and have the duties of a wife. She did not mind taking a household in hand but the thought of giving of herself distressed her. Her Father and her fought and still he insisted she marry and that he would hear no more on the subject. She had ran off in a huff and never got to make up with her Father as the yankees came two days later and burned the plantation to ground with her family in it. She kept dreaming this dream over and over. Her sleep was deep but disturbed by emotions and tears.

"Hey! CASSI" I called out as I dove into the water..............

Cassi turned and swam on her back watching Alex. She wanted him so badly and yet she knew that it would love bad upon him to be fucking her in the presense of another woman especially a white woman.

"Cassi",

There he was in her deeps and she didn't hesistate to take a quick lick at his flesh under the water where she wouldn't be seen, then slipped around him and surfaced in front of him with a vixen's smile.

Cassi laughed when he pulled her to his body, she could feel his cock against her ass and wanted him. "Damn Masser Alex.. yore so hard... lik a hoss."

Her hands snaked down and wrapped about the girth and she wanted him.. wanted him with a passion and a glimpse to his eyes she told him without saying another word.

 

[macmillian]

"Cassi.......Cassi", I wispered as I kissed her throat and shoulder. My hands left her waist and moved higher to caress her large breasts. I lightly squeezed and ran my fingers down to the dark brown nipples. I could fell her flinch at my probing. "There's a blanket on the bank", I told her, "let's go and be comfortable."

Without waiting for an answer I brought Cassi to shore and use the blanket to dry off some and then we layed down upon the ground and I drew this wounderful woman to me and we kissed. And we kissed some more. My hands everywhere and nowhere at the same time. They roamed over my dark lovers body, carressing and squeezing and just plain feeling the texture and firmness of her. Exploring her beauty and keeping up my kisses.

I was now on top of her and pining her between the ground and me. She was older than me by quite a few years, but that didn't make a difference.
She was a woman and now, right this minute she was my woman. I slid in between her legs and spred them wide....."Slowly Alexander, slowly. She wants you as much as you want her....Enjoy the time and she will enjoy it too and make it that more pleasurable for both..."

This was totally what I had not expected. A hot blooded woman with spirit and fire. As I had said earlier, Cassi was a woman, all woman and I though much more too. I was Going slowly, making love, not just sex, to this beautiful sexy woman. She rosed up and rolled me to the side and then she started to roam her hands and fingers of my flesh. Kissing as she went.

Three weeks, Why had I waited three weeks. I had no aanswer. I was brought back to the present as Cassi hit the tender spot where julia had elbowed me earlier. Cassi Felt me flintch and she lightened her touch.

 

[rvplymates]

Julia's dreams were getting more painful by the minute and she couldn't wake up from them. She was whimpering and crying in her sleep. She was calling out her family's names.

 

[landiek]

Cassi was sensative to his needs as she opened her thighs. She gripped him to her body as the cock slid into the silky folds of dark silk.

"Mmmmmm you sur fired up Masser Alex." Cassi moaned as the flesh within her honey chamber was making her feel hungry for the hot milk. "I liks yor cock inn meh.. "

Cassi bucked to him, she took all he gave and returned his power into bliss as her muscles flexed along the shaft. She whimpered between passionate kisses as she yeilded layers of wine.. cuntal wine for her lover.

The sex had started off slow, I knew I was large and Cassi just accepted me. She was hot and I felt like I was on fire as I slowly withdrew and slid back in even deeper. The fever built and soon we were moving together as one. Perfect timing. Her words drove me on as I felt her body respond to mine. It was perfect, just perfect. Cassi was everything I had dreamed about and more.

Our pace had quickened and I felt something deep down inside of me begin to move with a power and resolve all it's own. It was so wounderful and beautful I didn't want it to stop, but I now lost complete control as I drove myself deeper and harder and faster

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH", was all that I uttered as I drove deep one last time and I drew Cassi to me and held her tightly as I released five years of pent up emotions into this Bronze Beauty who chose to be with me.

It came with a rush and a force that I was not accustomed too. I emptied myself into her for what seemed to be an eternity. The highs and the lows and the emotions brought tears to my eyes as I let it all go.

 

[landiek]

Cassi sensed something was amiss when he drew back. Her eyes caught the glistening trickle of tears. Her face showed no sign of taking note but her heart did as it jumped in her chest.

He fired her soul and enflamed her body to comfort him, motherly or sexually it didn't matter much to her only that he gave her room to blossom with the desire. Her earlier anger disspated and she came to wonder where that white woman wandered off too. If that dog was of a pack she was surely in trouble again.

Yet another hot firey kiss made Cassi forget the white woman and concentrate on the man that was makign hot love to her body. Making her feel acceptable and loved in return.. there was no guilt of color between them.. Cassi wondered if the story of star crossed lovers fit her and Alex like it had them young folk from the book her previous owner would read to her neice.

"Shore fire.. gawds love yor ruttin.. I's feel ya ta meh heart Masser Alex." She gasped earnestly as her cunt spasmed to flood the river that he was spraying into her fetile feilds.

Cassi whispered and then cried aloud, but I was so ingrossed in what was happening, I paid it no heed. The eternity finally came to an end as my strengh waned and so did my red hot passion. I could feel the flowing of her ebb tide as we clung desperatly to each other. To prolong this moment for a little longer. I was now kissing Cassi with soft and loving kisses, not only on her lips, but her ckeeks and neck. Any where I could reach without dislodging myself from her.

Gently caressing her hair and kissing her lips we laid there for a long time, basking in the glow of a successful sexual encounter. It was almost five years, hard years since I had taken a woman. The war and moving all the time. Life and death strugles and desperate urge to live. The Hate that came with the news of the loss of family and friends at home. My place gone, taked by my neighbors or northern carpetbaggers. After the surrender I went home and found nothing and was heading west and that was when I met Cassi. Three weeks ago yesterday.

Why in hell did I wait all this time, Maybe because in that three weeks my hate had mostly left me as we struggled to survive. I had come to know Cassi as a tender caring and giving woman. She deserved more than what she had and I made up my mind right then and there to make sure that she would get more and maybe even better things. I knew material things was not her concern, but one of mind and soul, I may be able to help there too.

We had seperated and were laying side by side with her head on my shoulder when I felt her tremble slightly.

"Cassi, Suns going down" I whispered, "I think its time we got up and get dressed." I stood and wrapped the blanket around her shoulders and went to the leanto. I took out my saddlebags and from the one side I withdrew a package wrapped in paper and tied with string. Cassi must have gone in there a hundred times since we stopped at that dry goods store and picked up some of our needs.

I walked over to where Cassi was sitting. "HERE! Cassi" I said as I handed her the neatly tied package. " This is for you" I said with a grin from ear to ear. I stood there totally naked with the package in my hand and a nude woman at my feet. We must have made quite a sight.

OCC; the package contained a light blue and white striped dress, a white cotton slip and white cotton panties. I had also purchased a length of one inch wide bright yellow ribbon. She would still have to wear the old boots we had picked up earlier.

 

[rvplymates]

Julia sat bolt upright still asleep but fighting to wake up. Her eyes sprang open but the dream continued to wind up in her mind. Finally finished she placed her hands to her eyes and allowed herself to finally morn her family. Great heart rendering sobs flooded from her, her chest heaved and she cried for what she would never have again, a family.

She lived a solitary life, not letting anyone touch her or be a part of her life. She was what most would consider a cold person but that is not what she once was. She kept her guard up as she was afraid of loss.

Her crying subsided slowly and as she finished she wiped her eyes against her sleeve and looked around making sure no one saw her weakness. She ran her hand through her hair and found it soaked from the sweat of her emotions. She would rest a bit and then get back on the road.

 

[landiek]

"Cassi, Suns going down" I whispered, "I think its time we got up and get dressed."

Cassi stood up slowly still basking in that heated sex that filled her with a certain form of equality to a real woman. Cassi moved back towards the lean to but paused looking for signs of movement in the dark. She sat back down scanning the area with a cautious eye.

I walked over to where Cassi was sitting. "HERE! Cassi" I said as I handed her the neatly tied package. " This is for you"

Cassi looked up and took the proffered package with a slight smile. "What's this Masser Alex?"

His silence told her that she needed to just open it and carefully she tugged the string making the wrapping fall off the center. Tears sprang from her eyes as she beheld the most prettiest gift she ever received. Not only that it was fresh.. no smells or stains of being on another person's back.

"Yore givin meh all this Masser Alex." Cassi wiped her eyes with her fingers. "I shore am grateful Masser Alex.. shore am..."

 

[macmillian]

I pulled Cassi towards me and I kissed the wounderfully full lips again. "Uhh"', I stutted, "no need, you needed a new dress." For just a few moments we stood there looking at each other. "OK" I said breaking the silence. "Time to get to work and releasing Cassi I walked over to the leanto and proceeded to get dressed.

Cassi took the package of colthes and moved off a short ways. I opened the smoker and the smell of the cooking meat filled our small camp. I added some tinder to the smouldering embers and a small flame started. I added more and soon a small fire was burning in the improvised fireplace. I walked to the pond and filled the coffee pot with water and returned and placed it on the fire. I also put the cooking pot, That Cassi was working earlier, back by the edge of the fire. Cooking was what Cassi choose to do as her contribution and she was so proud of that and so this was as far as I was going to go.

I went over to the leanto and took out a second package and smilled. I had another surprise for Cassi when she returned to the clearing and our camp. I spread the blanket ot across some low bushes to air dry. We would need it later tonight. I straightened out the leanto and made room for us to sleep. I picked up the second package and returned to the fire.

OCC: The second package had an apron to go over her dress to protect it. It was dark blue and that had helped me decide on the blue dress (and the color blue was not popular in the south right after the war)

 

[landiek]

Cassi slipped off and dressed but yet that nagging feeling came over her again as she looked in the direction that woman wandered.

"Masser Alex.. you reckon.. iffa you would.. go a chekin on Miss Julia." Cassi regretted asking but that tug in her side made her ask.

Cassi moved back to the fire and smiled as he did a number of things to help her with making a good meal. It wouldn't take long for that starting of stew to become a gravy and just maybe she could find some more greens to add to the side of those steaks.

I will go back to the road and listen. I do not know which way she was headed and in the growing darkness I could easily pass right by and not realized I missed her. Trusting to Cassi's instinks, which have been very accurate up to now, I walked out to the road and walked several hundred yards in each direction. I didn't hear or see anything to alarm me.

When I returned to the clearing, I was greeted by a delicious aroma of the cooking food. Cassi again worked her magic and had prepared another fine meal.

"Cassi", I spoke up as I entered the camp an she looked up at me. "Something smells mighty good. I walked apiece up and down the road but didn't see a thing."

I knelt down beside her at the fire and looked at her from the side. She has a smile and she was quietly humming a tune. I felt that she was now a woman at peace with herself and the world around her. She looked stunning in her new clothes and I noticed she had tied back her hair with the ribbon. I must remember to get her a comb and brush for her hair. It was shch fine hair and she would want those things to care for her long hair.

She turned to look at me and all I could do was smile back at her. "what! Are you tongue tied now that you have just fucked this woman? It had started out that way, but somewhere along the way it had turned to something more that hot pure lust. Think, boy think. You are acting like a complete idiot. Do something, say something or get up and walk away. but do something." With all these thoughts running around inside my head, all I could do was bend down and kissed her gently on her lips.

Without saying a word, I rose and walked over to the leanto and started to straighten things out, I put the two saddles next to each other and the saddle blankets on top. I spread the first blanket on the ground in front of the saddles and placed the rest of our gear near the back. The sharps and pistol I left by the front saddle. I was afraid to turn around. After five years of fighting and dying, I was afraid to face one black woman. "One black woman.....One black woman....." kept repeating itself in my mind..

 

[rvplymates]

Julia had calmed and rested, gained controll of her emotions once more. She felt stronger now that she had spent her grief and a bit bitter. She stood up and looked about which way was she going anyway. Well what did it matter she thought and just walked not allowing herself to think of what had happened to her. She knew she had to stay tough for not survive, she also knew she had to stop traveling aimlessly and find somewhere to be.

She walked for awhile and then a aroma of food caught her senses. She followed the oder and found herself walking into Alex and Cassie's campground. She cleared her throat.

"I am sorry to bother you but I seemed to have gotten turned around somehow. Do you mind if I partake of your food, just this one time and then I will leave"

She didn't want to ask but all the emotions she has spent had somehow made her weak or maybe it was just hunger. Her eyes were red from crying and her long hair was coming out of its tie as it was still wet from sweat. She looked a fright but sounded very calm and cold.

 

[landiek]

"Cassi", I spoke up as I entered the camp an she looked up at me. "Something smells mighty good. I walked apiece up and down the road but didn't see a thing."

"I apprecaites yore lookin fo her, Masser Alex." Cassi replied as she dug out the wooden bowls that were their plates. "I's have yore plate readee in a bit."

Cassi blushed getting the unexpected kiss, but rose her hands to his cheek with the soft parting of her dark lips but as quick as he gave he walked away leaving her feeling perplexed. Instead of questioning his actions she went back to her cooking figuring that a young strapping man like himself needed nourishment too.

Cassi was dishing up the meal when she heard a rustle to her left. There was Mizz Julia and she smiled a broad friendly smile.

"I am sorry to bother you but I seemed to have gotten turned around somehow. Do you mind if I partake of your food, just this one time and then I will leave"

"I reckon there is enough." Cassi replied with a smile. "Ans yore welcome ta stay.. jus taint safe wanderin about.. why with dem dawgs.. a lil thing like yorself .. taint no reason ta go.... I's fix a leanner fer yorself ta sleep in jus fer da night..."

Cassi handed Julia the dish of food, A moderate steak, a thick gravy with tubers and jerky, and something that looked like seaweed with little onions in it. Cassi then took a dish to Alex.

"Looks like she foun her owns way back ta us, Massre Alex." Cassi told him in a friendly smile. "I reckon i's be puttin another leanner up fer her."

Cassi then wandered a little ways from camp to find the longer logs to fix another lean to.. After ten minutes she was hauling back some long limbs and lashing them with braided hair and wild ivy. It didn't take the woman long to fix the shelther but it did effect the dress with dust and sweat.

Cassi went down to the waters edge and washed her face and hands before fixing herself a bowl of the evening meal

 

[macmillian]

I was surprised to see Julia, when we last talked, she was intent on leaving. When I checked the road I hadn't seen or heard her. I must be losing it. I used to live in the woods and today I didn't hear the dog and now tonight Julia just walks right up on us. I shook my head.

Cassi brought my supper to me and I sat down to eat. She walked back to the fire and then out into the woods. She returned and fashioned a leanto for Julia. It never ceased to amaze me how hard Cassi worked. Always doing what was needed doing and going ahead and doing it.

When Cassi was finished working, she walked to the waters edge and cleaned up and returned to the fire and fixed herself some supper.

"Cassi", I called out, "come over and sit with me while you eat." I stood up and walked over to the fire and picked up two cups and poured coffee into them and returned to the leanto. "The supper was extremly good tonight Cassi. You out did yourself this time." I remarked to her.

"Julia" I said, "Get a cup of coffee and please join us. We have a lot to discuss."

 

[rvplymates]

Julia, thankful for the food that Cassie gave her a stunning smile.

"Thank you"

She looked at the food and her mouth watered and back at Cassie to tell her not to bother but she was gone already. Julia had been a carefree girl not so long ago and the slaves on the plantation were her friends. She treated them with respect and did not ask them for anything but they seemed to know what she needed and gave to her freely. Cassie reminded her of her close friend, another loved one that died in the fire. She began to eat as she came back and had a lean two built before she could stop her. As she brought the fork to her mouth once more, Alex beckoned her to join them. She did not like the way he said they had things to discuss but she went over by them anyway and sat a little apart from them on a log. She continued eating not ready for coffee yet.

 

[macmillian]

Julia didn't stop for coffee, but came over and took a seat on alog near by. I waited until she was seated and had resumed eating before I spoke.

"Julia, as I have stated before, my name is Alexander Franks. I was a farmer and after the war my lands were nolonger mine." I said to her. "I was heading west when I came upon Cassi who joined me. She is free to leave anytime she wants to."

I told the rest of the story up through where she csme upon me and Cassi. We had heard voices arguing and shounting and didn't want to walk into something so I was being careful. We mean you no harm, but I must say that a woman traveling alone now is not safe. I know you are a capable woman and can take care of yourself, but there are gangs now roaming the countryside looting and killing. Both side are involved, both northerners and southerners and they do not care who they hurt or kill.

My suggestion is that we three travel together. We ould make a fine company. We all have something to offer the others and I feel we can work together. We need food and other supplies and another horse. I only have a little money left and that will not take us very far. My other suggestion is to either find a place to work or take over and empty place and claim it as ours and move on from there. A small farm we could raise crops and settle in for the winter or work for someon else and stay the winter. I am open for any suggestions.

 

[rvplymates]

Julia listened to him and his plans seemed sound. He had shared with her and now as both of them looked at her she gathered herself together to keep emotion from capturing her yet again.

"I am only travelling about a year and a half alone. My family owned a large plantation outside of Atlanta. My parents were very loving and fair people. They were originally from England and settle into this country and made it their home, never to return to Europe again. They freed the slaves they bought as soon as they bought them and they stayed with us for love not because they were slaves. As a child they became my extended family looking after me and my siblings because they wanted to not because they had too. Then the yankees came and burned down my home"

A catch came to her voice but she continued her story.

"My parents, siblings and extended family died in that fire. I bought the clothing you see on me and started roaming until the day we met. It is time for me to put down roots again, I know that and to that end"

She pulled out a pouch and tossed it to Alex.

"I give you this as my contribution, maybe we can all work together to start anew. Inside that pouch is gold enough for any provisions we need. I would carry my own weight and jointly work together with you but I will not, can not be told what to do. I have been alone too long now to ordered about"

 

[macmillian]

I caught the tossed pouch and looked inside. It was as she said. I shall be careful in your last request, but remember to, I am accustomed to giving orders and having them followed. In times of danger I will take charge, because there may not be time to debate what to do. On anything I would be more then happy to discuss.

We need to stay together, I have that feeling we are going to need each other in the comming days. I pulled Cassi over closer to me and told her not to worry, she was with us and that was all she had to worry about.

Julia, you were lucky for the first year in your travels, but the las six months afer the surrender bgan the era of the gangs and carpet baggers. We are glad to have you with us, and any time you want to leave,We will return this to you. Tossing the pouch a little into the air and then placing it in one of the saddle bags..

 

[rvplymates]

Julia nodded her head as if she agreed with him but she knew if danger came she would fend for herself as always. One man could not possible protect two woman without one of them suffering and she would not let Cassie be a victim in the strange triangle.

She finishe up her food and took the plate and theirs down to the water's edge. Crouching she washed them up looking at the water longingly. She looked around the edge of the pool and saw a alcove that could serve as a private place to bath. Dishes done she brought them back to the campsite and handed them to Cassie.

"I need to get clean and I would appreciate not having company. Is that alright with you both"

 

[macmillian]

"That's fine Julia", I responded, "Would you like for me to walk over with you? I promise to return directly to the camp."

"Cassi, I am going to escort Julia around the bend," I said " I 'll be coming right back." I picked up my Sharps and handed a blanket to Julia, "Let's go"

I just would not have felt right to let her go there alone. It was a man thing, A gentleman always escorted a lady. I still remember my father saying that a man always shows the proper courtsey to women. I guess I still am following that advise.

I asked Julia not to take to long for we had a long day tomorrow and we all should get a good nights rest. I knew that I would stand watch for most of the night.

 

[rvplymates]

Julia couldn't believe it, he just went like a whirlwind not letting her speak at all. All of a sudden a blanket came out of nowhere and he was saying good-bye to Cassie, his hand went around her arm and he was guiding her to the spot she wanted to go to. She was shocked as they walked. Not two seconds after she agreed to stay with them, he was ruling her life as if he had a right too. She walked beside him not even able to stop this whole thing. They were there before she could even think of a thing to say.

She looked at him as he stood there smiling, so proud of himself while she sieved with anger and could not find the words to express it. She turned to the water and waited for him to leave.
