R.F. is exploring the alternate ending for a story we'd recently put through our mills here. What do you think? Let him know!

From the Author

note: In his critique of “Love on the Levee” TheEarl, while helpful and kind, mentioned it wasn’t his type of story and that the ending annoyed him. This got me to wondering if I could write an entertaining but more explicit ending similar in tone and style to the original story which is in the Romance category.

And If you think this submission is bad, you should have seen it before bridgetkeeney took pity of poor, unsuspecting Lit readers and helped me knock off some of the rough edges.

For those too lazy, sorry, no-account, slothful, and/or indifferent to check out the original story, which is at, http://www.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=104055 here is a brief sketch.


Time: afternoon in the summer of ‘68
Place: the levee of the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge, La.

Following a “hippie” wedding, Mike Floyd and Debbie Rankin, life-long “best friends” are sitting alone on the levee. A few months before, during a party at this same spot, the two college students got into a make-out session. Now, while waiting for another couple to show back up after making love, they talk about that night and try to sort out their relationship.

For continuity, this ending picks up a few paragraphs before the end to the original story. Any thoughts about how to whip this sucker into shape will be appreciated.

Love on the Levee – the r-rated ending

They gazed at one another until Debbie noticed she was biting her lower lip. Surprised, she looked out at the river and tried to think. If she wanted Mike as more than just her best friend, and she did, she’d have to make the first move and pray it worked.

Taking a deep breath, she got up from the log and moved in between Mike’s outstretched legs. Wrapping her fingers around the back of his neck, she whispered, “You’re right, Michael Henry Floyd, we do like each other, a whole lot, and it does feel very, very good. But since that night we kissed, I haven’t been able to think of you as just a friend. You mean a lot more to me now. So what I want to know, what I need you to tell me, is whether I’ve become more to you than just a friend.”

A startled look flashed across Mike’s features. Then he slid his arms around her slender waist and pulled her close. “You always did have more guts than me. Deb, I fought falling in love with you all summer. And believe me, the night we went skinny-dipping I damn near lost. But now I surrender, unconditionally. Lady, I love you so much it hurts.”

“Oh Mike, I love you, too,” said Debbie, as she wrapped her arms around him.

They held each other close, kissing slowly, their lips giving testimony to their new relationship. When the kiss finally ended, it seemed by mutual consent. As Debbie stared into Mike’s eyes, she began unbuttoning her blouse. When it fell open, she took his hands in hers and gently pressed the palms against her breasts. “You know me, I never do anything half-way. I’m yours, now and forever. But I’m greedy, Mike. I want all of you, all the time, for all time.”

Mike nodded. The deal had been struck. He was hers, she was his, and Rene was history. Nodding toward the spot where they first kissed, she said, “Let’s go over there and pick-up where we left off. Only this time, if you really love me, if you want me, don’t you dare stop.”

A smile slowly spread across his face. “Best idea I’ve heard in this lifetime.” His fingers gently rolled her hard nipples and for a moment Debbie forgot how to breathe. Mike’s voice seemed to come from a fog. “Just one thing. I want you forever, not just now. So Debbie, will you marry me?”

“Oh my God, yes,” she cried, throwing herself back into his arms. They hugged until she leaned back and laughed. “Where’d that stupid preacher, the Boo-Hoo, where’d he go?”

“We don’t need him or anyone else, Deb. In every way that really counts, we’re already married. Now please hush so I can kiss my bride.” Cradling her head in his hands, he sealed their union with a long, gentle kiss. When their lips parted, he looked down into her eyes and smiled, “Now let’s go find that spot.”

They walked over arm in arm and then, by unspoken agreement, took turns undressing each other. Neither wanted anything between them for what both sensed was their destiny, and knew was their desire. Behind the pile of driftwood, Mike spread their clothes on the smooth, sandy soil, creating a makeshift pallet.

When he turned to face her, Debbie stepped forward and pressed her nude body against his. The feel of his flesh against hers, knowing they were about to make love, that this man loved her and that she’d be in his arms for the rest of her life—it was all so overwhelming, Debbie began to cry. Why hadn’t she realized how much she loved Mike? And how close had she come to losing him?

To Mike’s credit, he didn’t make a joke. Instead, he held her close and softly stroked her long, red hair until the emotional storm began to pass. Before she could say something about feeling dumb for crying, he placed a fingertip on her lips and gently eased her down.

Mike already had her heart and her soul; now she wanted him to touch, to kiss, to possess every inch of her body. When his lips encircled her nipple and he began to suck, she felt her body levitating up to meet his mouth. Her legs opened to him the moment his fingers brushed over her silken pubic hairs.

A finger slipped inside her body and Debbie gasped with pleasure. She felt his lips leave her breast and trace a path down her torso. When Mike’s tongue replaced his finger, a jolt of passion raced through her body. His tongue was soon driving her wild. She trembled and heard herself moaning Mike’s name. Moments later her hips jerked upward as a powerful orgasm exploded from deep inside her writhing figure.

It was incredible—like nothing she’d ever experienced. But it wasn’t enough. She wanted Mike inside her. And she wanted him there, now.

“Please, Mike,” was all she could say while reaching down for him. He nodded and let her guide him into position between her long, outstretched legs.

“Lady, I do love the way you lend a helping hand. But, you know, if we practice a whole lot, someday I may be able to get there all by myself.”

Debbie laughed, “You idiot. Damn, but I love you so much. Now please, let’s start practicing.”

For just a moment, they looked into each other’s eyes, sharing the moment, knowing the significance of what they were about to do. Then their hips moved toward one another and the bodies of the two old friends fused into one new being.

They worked together in a harmony of love and passion. Debbie’s joy felt overwhelming. Her body thrilled to the feel of Mike's hardness. For her, there was no time other than this moment; no man other than this one, the man she’d known all her life, the man she loved so much, the man who was now taking her towards the brink of total ecstasy.

Desire, need, lust, longing, plus totally unrestrained love pounded through every fiber of her being. The sound of Mike’s breathing, the smell of his after-shave, the way his hair was mussed, it all seemed so familiar. And yet, everything was different.

The body she’d known all her life, had wrestled with as a kid, had danced with in high school, was now naked and entwined with hers. But the real difference was Mike being inside her; uniting their bodies in a way she’d never imagined before the night they first kissed. She wanted nothing more than to keep making love with Mike Floyd for the rest of the day, and then for the rest of her life.

Another tidal wave of passion soon began building within her until it finally broke in a long, exquisite orgasm. Although stunned by the erotic explosion, her mind and body were still in synch with the rhythm of Mike’s movements.

As she reeled from the force of her own climax, Mike began slamming into her with almost savage thrusts. He moaned, “Oh, Deb,” and buried himself deep inside her trembling body.

She luxuriated in the feel of his shaft throbbing in time with her own excited pulse. When his body finally relaxed, Debbie pulled him close and wrapped him in her arms.

They lay together, spent and happy, their moist bodies entwined in a lover's knot, savoring their first moment of shared, post-coital bliss. Debbie would have been willing to lie there all day, just looking up into the clear, late afternoon sky while holding Mike in her arms. But the moment ended when someone yelled for them.

“Hey, where’d y’all go?”

The driftwood that protected their hiding place from prying eyes also blocked their view. However, Debbie recognized the voice of her cousin Linda. Apparently she and Frank had finished their own lovemaking.

“We’re over here,” shouted Debbie.

“Where’s over here and just what are you two doing?” There was a note of uncertainty in Linda’s voice. For years she’d tried to talk Debbie into making some sort of move on Mike. Before now, she’d known only failure.

Mike turned his head and yelled, “Tell us what y’all were doing, first.”

Debbie could almost see Frank grinning as he said, “Oh, you know, this and that.”

“Well, this and that’s what we’ve been doing,” said Mark.

“Are you serious?” The tone of Linda’s voice was a mixture of excitement and incredulity. “I mean, the two of you, have you really been doing it?”

“We’re getting married.” Debbie’s announcement brought a squeal of pleasure from Linda.

“She’s wrong,” said Mike. He turned and looked down at Debbie, who grinned as his hips began grinding into her. When he spoke again, his voice was just loud enough to let Linda and Frank eavesdrop. “We’re already married. Husband and wife, it’s even been consummated, the whole nine yards. We just haven’t gotten around to a wedding ceremony.”

“That’s us,” said Debbie. “We’ve gone from being old friends to being an old married couple.” She wrapped her arms around Mike’s neck and tried to pull his head down to hers.

Before she could get his mouth within reach, Mike said, “Hey Frank, you engaged young people make yourself comfortable. Us old married folks have some more consummating to take care of.”
 
So this is what it's like when you come back to one of those episodes with the 'to be continued...' at the bottom. I still think you can put this in the romance category. The story was OK before, but with this ending, the tone changes into something we can identify with (voyeurs that we all are), with the consummation of their feelings.

I do wonder, however, where along the old man you place the story. Where my wife is from, no one would be caught dead 'doing it' in the open air (notice I'm not using the 10 million bugs as a reason - OK, I'm from Los Angeles where all the bugs hide in the walls, or run for office).

It might be interesting to patch your story with this ending and talk Lauren into reposting it as though it were new to see if you get different voting and feedback (don't know if it's possible).

-FF (tryin' to develop a more apostrophetical approach to my parenthetical livin')

ps. in case I didn't make it apparent, I like the new ending.
 
-FF (tryin' to develop a more apostrophetical approach to my parenthetical livin')
Does that mean we'll have to call you, the Apostle Ffreak, or would you prefer, Ffreak the Apostle?

Whatever, I thank all of you for the feedback. The banks of the Miss. River vary a lot depending on the location, (it's a long, long way from Minnesota to Louisiana). Even at the same spot, the two shores can be very different. At Natchez, the east bank is hilly and built up, while the west bank is flat.

Since I vaguely recall several levee parties while attending LSU in Baton Rouge, not to mention a hippie wedding on the levee, the setting is probably correct for that time and place.

Depending on how this goes, I might see what Laurel thinks about your suggestion.

Thank you for the clarifying reminder about LSU. Perhaps there are fewer evangelists of the Puritanical persuasion close to college campuses. Not to say there are insufficient evangelists to promote the age-old advise of 'practice makes perfect'. After all, it is scriptural to 'go forth and multiply'. I do wish they would give course credit for the research time.

So does that mean I have to start signing my name as:
'FF or should it be FF'? Or is that too pretentious?
Maybe it should be ff'.

-FF' (but I think the word is more likely apostate as in ff the...)
 
Howdy, here are my little scrambled thoughts:


So what have we got? Well we've got what could had been a whole full story of nothing but sweet lovin'. That's right, 1527 words (thank you wordpeddler.com) of nothing but 'I love you', kissing, cuddling and cutsey lovemaking. Not a worry, not a harsh word.

I'm normally a guy with a soft spot for cuddly romance, but I just feel that there should had been something, some kind of comflict there to make it all more interresting. If they really are that incredibly happy right there and then, I think the story should had benefitted from throwing in someything as a contrast. A flashback to less happy times, perhaps?

A smile slowly spread across his face. "Best idea I’ve heard in this lifetime." His fingers gently rolled her hard nipples and for a moment Debbie forgot how to breathe. Mike’s voice seemed to come from a fog. "Just one thing. I want you forever, not just now. So Debbie, will you marry me?"

You do the saem thing that ffffff did with the Princess story I just went through. Chunking up lines of dialouge and description into the same paragraph. I think that should only be done of you deliberately are trying to confuse the reader. Here is was just regular speech.

---

Maybe I'm just a but on the thick side, but I never got this: Is what you posted here supposed to attach to the existing story in a new edit, of is it supposed to be the standalone part 2? I think that even epoisodes in a series should be somewhat readable on their own too. If it is supposed to be a separat submission, a few brief ecplanations as to who and what the Boo-Hoo preacher, or other briefly mentioned things in the past is would perhaps help.

---

The situation in the end when the cousin and her significant other turns up seems a bit weird. It all seems a little bit too casual in bluring out that they've just been bumpin uglies in the bushes. I didn't see that kind of very open attitude coming.

---

Finally, a little nitpicking. :)

It was incredible-like nothing she’d ever experienced.
Was it just incredible-like? What's wrong with the good old comma here?
 
Ice-man,

Thanks for taking the time to look over my poor, pitiful prose and then giving me some ideas about how it might be improved. For what it’s worth, here’s a little feedback on your comments.

RF: Ice-man, I don’t know what to say or do except repeat the note I placed at the beginning of the post.

RF: If your objection is to paragraphs with both dialogue and narrative, I respectfully disagree. If, on the other hand, you’re referring to paragraphs which go back and forth between narrative and dialogue, as the one in question does, then you may have a point.

It’d be easy enough to start a new paragraph at, “His fingers…” I’d thought about doing something like that anyway, but not because of the “chunking” problem. Thanks a heap, Ice-man, now you’ve given me something else to worry about. J

Ice: Finally, a little nitpicking.

It was incredible-like nothing she’d ever experienced.
Was it just incredible-like? What's wrong with the good old comma here?

RF: There’d be nothing “wrong” with using a comma. I just made a subjective judgment that the sentence called for something stronger, more emphatic, than a comma but not as abrupt as a semi-colon. That’s why I decided to use an em dash.
 
Only One Complaint

R.F.,

I like the ending, it's very well done. I just had one complaint.

The part where she opens her blouse, and they then walk hand-in-hand to the spot where they had made out... that seems a little forced.

I'm not sure how big Mike is, or how small she is, but maybe he could pick her up and carry her to that spot? I think that would help a lot :)

:p -Lego

P.S. I hope this alternate ending hasn't already been submitted, hehe... I seem to be quite good at offering suggestions after stories have already been submitted :)
 
Hi RF,

The old version had a lot of awkwardness between the two, then a brief resolution no sex.

The new tack-on has no awkwardnesss, quick agreement, and extended sex.

So there's two issues you're wavering on, how much/extended the awkwardness;
how much /how extended the sex.

I confess I'm not thrilled with the new piece, since as icing said, it's kinda predictable. Further it sounds like you were too, kinda churning out the prose.

The old has more drama, fresher prose, and if the wrap up isn't juicy enough, you could have a sex/lovemaking scene. Today's romances are pretty explicit in parts.

That's my two cents.
 
Lego and Pure,

I apologize for being so long to write a thank you. Actually, I did write one and the !@#$%^ power went out before I posted the sucker. So that makes this the second one I've written which doesn't mean anything except it makes be feel a little less guilty.

Lego, you are a romantic. Instead of the couple walking over hand in hand, or hand in whatever, you want to make the poor guy tote the hussy over to the spot. :) I've used that before, for instance in, "A Special Photo," but this time I'll save the guy's back and let 'em both walk.

Pure, I may have addressed some of the problem you brought up in the version I posted. If you get a chance, check out "Loving on the Levee" in the First Time category and tell me what you think.

Many thanks for the feedback.
