I live in a small town that is about an hour ferry ride from Seattle. I moved there after a nasty divorce that left me with very little to spend on a house. The prices were more affordable there, and the extended commute actually became quite enjoyable. I got myself set up with a little tablet and could spend the time however I wanted on the internet or playing games that I found (for free) in the "App Store". Taking the same ferry in the morning, and then in the afternoon, I got to "know" all the regulars and how funny it seemed that people are so predictable in what they do. So many rushed to get the same seats or in most cases the long "booth seats" so they could lay down. Some even have their "sleep kits" with blankets, pillows and even some with their Dorothy Kilgallen blindfolds (which is a clue to my age). I find I spend a lot of time reading the works on Literotica to keep my sexual appetite interested. I was fighting a feeling to remove myself from the "dating game" after how harshly I was treated by my ex-wife and her lowdown attorney. After all, she was the one who was caught in our bed with another man, yet they turned things around so much that I just ended up giving in, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time and money in the court's system. Anyway, back to this particular afternoon's ride. I was sitting there reading a new story from the Transsexuals & Crossdressers category. I have no experience in this lifestyle but I did notice a stirring below when I started getting some shares of TS's on my Stumbleupon account. This particular afternoon I noticed a smartly dressed, very lovely, professional looking woman as she walked into the seating section I was in. My eyes were glued to this marvelous woman and the grace in which she walked. There was purpose in her step, yet a wonderful, flowing movement of her entire body with each step. I have to say I was totally mesmerized and had to mentally slap myself to make sure I wasn't sitting there with my mouth open. My heart skipped a beat as she came to sit in the chair across from me. This really livened up my afternoon as my eyes fell almost immediately to her long, beautiful legs as she crossed them, hiking up her smart, relatively tight skirt. I must have sighed or gasped out loud, for just as my eyes had travelled up those luscious legs to the hem of her skirt, she looked up at me, smiled, straighten and pulled down her skirt. Oh well. I got back engrossed in my story and when I had to wait for the next page to load, I noticed the woman across from me had taken out her computer as was feverishly typing away. She had quite a scowl on her face and I saw her full lips moving as she typed, as if she was telling someone off. She stopped for a moment too and looked up to see me staring at her (again). "Looks like you have a very perturbing problem at work or something," I mustered trying to start up a conversation. She smiled and shook her head no. It's probably a good thing she hadn't said anything, for her smile was so radiant I don't think I could have heard or at least understood anything she would have said. Reluctantly I started trying to read again, but I have to admit, the words might as well have been in Greek, for my mind was not comprehending their meaning at all. My eyes wandered again to the lovely creature across from me. She was still totally engrossed in her typing when all of a sudden she let out a huge sigh, closed the laptop lid, and looked up, saw me staring again, and smiled. I, of course, smiled back and tried the spoken word again, "You finished your harsh opus?" She laughed softly, picked herself and her stuff up and came over to sit next to me. "Yes, my harsh opus as you put it is done thank God!" "It sounded like you were quite glad to have it finished, but by the look on your face as you were typing away, I am glad it wasn't for me!" She laughed out loud at that remark and brought her hand up to me, "I like you, my name is Mia." "Wow! I like you too, and my name is David," and with that profound retort I shook her lovely hand. Her skin felt like silk, so smooth, and with such a warmth. My hands seem to always be cold on the ferry, which was not missed my Mia as she cooed "cold hands, warm heart" with another radiant smile. I guess I forgot we were just supposed to be shaking hands hello as Mia had to veritably force her hand away from mine. "Sorry" I said, "Your hand just felt so nice I got lost a bit." "Well now you're found" she said still smiling. Her eyes seemed to pick up on her smile's radiance and took on a shine of their own. They were strikingly blue, so deep, I felt like I could look for miles in them. "Will you watch my stuff for me, I have to use the ladies room" she asked. "Of course, your stuff is safe with me" said I trying to muster a smile of my own. With that she got up, smoothed out her skirt just inches away from me. I could see how the tight skirt clung to her hips and her beautifully toned ass cheeks, and for a moment, I wanted to be that skirt. She turned and walked away to the ladies room, and I swear her grace turned a little into a sexy sway as she moved her ass with each step. I could see every guy in the seating section was also watching her walk. Her legs encased in black nylons, with alluring 3" heels. The heels accentuated her lovely calves as I could see her toned body was no stranger to a gym. I had lost all sense of where I was and what I was doing, and my tablet fell off my lap onto the floor. It seems a certain part of my body needed to tent itself right where I had laid my tablet. I bent down to pick up my tablet and tried to as inconspicuously as possible arrange my pants and sweatshirt to cover my telltale horniness. Feeling a bit more secure with this restructuring, I sat back up and once again made a feeble attempt to read. My eyes just happened across a section of the story, where the "virgin male" was about to be fucked in his ass by the shemale he had just met. I was wondering along with him how this would feel. Funny that I should be reading about this as my mind was fantasizing about doing all sorts of things with Mia. I could hear the men around me stirring in their seats, so I looked up to see Mia walking towards me, and as she saw me look up, gave me another of her radiant smiles. Man was I hooked, I would have done anything for her, just to be with this beautiful woman. Her suit jacket was unbuttoned, showing her beautiful silk blouse, sort of a beige color, and I noticed the top three buttons were now undone, showing a wondrous view of her beautiful cleavage. I was never good at guessing breast size, and it really didn't seem to matter to me. I find them all to be beautiful in their own way. Anyway, her walk was even sexier viewing from the front. I could see her breasts bounce with each step and I must have looked pretty silly, with my eyes trying to take in the full picture of this Goddess walking towards me. I felt a pang of pride as she came and sat down next to me, yes me all you guys, she is sitting next to me! "So, do you commute every day David?" "Yes, Monday through Friday, like clockwork," I replied. "Well I am here on assignment, I live in San Francisco, but am here for a couple weeks helping to set up offices here and in Seattle." "What is it that you do, to set up offices?" I asked. "Well, I am the head of our firm's HR department, so I help set up all the hiring of the new employees," she replied. "So you must be a pretty good judge of character and personality," I said, taking interest in this beautiful, and so intelligent woman. She smiled a wry, sardonic smile, "Yes, one would think, but I sure got clouded in my last choice of boyfriend." "Oh, I see, so the letter you were writing was for him?" "Well, in a way, yes." "Just in a way?" I asked "Yes, he just sort of disappeared on me, so I never got the chance to tell him off after the way he treated me. I like to get things off my chest right away so they don't fester inside me, it helps me move on. So in this case I had to put all my thoughts and feelings into a letter to him." "But if he disappeared on you, how are you going to send it to him?" I asked, now really interested in this wonderful, but obviously hurt woman. She offered that weird little smile again, "I won't be sending anything to him, last of all this letter. When I get back to my room tonight, I am going to print it out and have a little ceremony and burn it to ashes." "I simply cannot understand how any man could be so completely stupid to let go of you, if he had you and your love," I heard myself say, a little embarrassed by my prying. "That is really sweet of you to say, David, but for some reasons I seem to have a hard time finding the right man," said Mia with sort of a sorrowful tone. I reached over and held her hand in mine, "I certainly can see none of the reasons you speak of, I would be honored and so very happy to have a girlfriend like you," I said, getting a little bold unlike my usually shyer self. Mia let me hold her hand and looked at me, holding my eyes in her deep, beautiful blue eyes. "If you want, I can 'be' him and you can read your letter or tell me off, if it will help you purge his memories from you" I offered. "Once again David, such a sweet thing to say!" Mia looked thoughtful for a second, and then started in.... "You miserable son of a bitch lying bastard! You think you are so special that you can turn your love and charm on and off like a water tap? I don't think I can trust one thing you have said to me after the way you were so 'embarrassed' to be with me in front of your family!" Everyone around us looked at me and the women gave me icy stares and the men looked hopeful that I would soon be losing my spot next to this lovely creature. "Well," I said softly, "I don't think you should hold back, you should tell me how you really feel." Mia laughed out loud and said she couldn't continue with the play, for when she looked at me, he was the furthest thing from her mind. I thanked her for the wonderful comment and we spent the rest of the ride talking and getting to know each other. As the ferry started to slow, approaching the dock, Mia looked at my raingear and backpack and asked, "Are you going on a hike after we dock?" I laughed, "No, I just am frugal, and park my car at the cheapest lot I could find, so it is about a 15 to 20 minute walk from the terminal to my car, so I have to dress accordingly." "Well, I am staying at the hotel right next to the terminal, why don't you wait out the rain and come in for diner with me?" "David? Did you hear me?" "Sorry, I was taken aback a bit, I don't think I can remember a time such a beautiful woman actually asked me out for dinner, but yes, yes, YES! I would love to have dinner with you." "Well it certainly will beat walking in this," Mia pointed out the doorway we were walking towards to get to the ramp leading to the terminal. The rain was coming down so hard, it was actually flooding the boarding ramp we were walking on. I took off my raincoat, and swung it out to cover both our heads and we ran laughing together for the short distance across the courtyard to her hotel. Once in the lobby, I removed my coat from our heads, Mia laughingly saying something about her knight in shining armor. "Let's go up to my room first, so I can change for dinner," she said with another smile. Enchanted and still totally under her spell, I managed "Lead the way M'Lady, I shall follow you anywhere." Which created another laugh from Mia. We entered the elevator and as the doors closed I noticed I was by the floor buttons. I was just about to ask Mia what floor she was on, when she reached over to the panel to touch floor number 6's button. To do this, her lovely, ample breasts brushed against me. I became instantly hard and tried to turn a bit to hide my state. As Mia tried to turn around from her reach, her heel caught in a rip in the elevators carpet and she lost her balance a bit. I reach out to hold her and help her upright herself. When she did, her face was only inches from mine. I had not released my grip on her shoulders and in one motion I brazenly brought her lips to mine and we kissed. Oh, my, we kissed. Her tongue darted inside my mouth to play and tease my tongue. Her hands went on a search and inflame mission on my entire body. It was the most intense kiss I have ever had, and was very disappointed when I heard the little ding, signifying we had reached our , destination. As the doors slid open, we slowly parted, both of us with silly starry eyed grins. There was an elderly couple waiting for the elevator and they both smiled as we glided by them. I overheard the woman ask her husband, "remember when we used to have fun in the elevators Richard?" Mia heard too and we giggled our way to her door. She pulled herself together enough to use those disturbing keycards right so we could enter her room. Once inside, she took off her business suit jacket, and I could see her beige, silken blouse had gotten wet, and was overjoyed to see her nipples had hardened from our kiss. Mia found my gaze and said, "let me change out of these wet clothes, I'll be right back. Pour us a drink from my bar, bourbon and water (very little water) is my pleasure." So I busied myself playing bartender for us, making two of the drinks she had described, and was slowly sipping mine when Mia returned. I was taken aback as she had not really changed, but seemed to have taken her clothes off and put on a red silk robe. "I have to say, you look absolutely delicious in that wonderful robe." "Why thank you kind sir, this old thing?" She twirled and teased me with the old strippers move of opening up the robe with her back to me, and then closing it as she turned back towards me. "May I have my drink?" I quickly returned from my reverie about her robe potential strip act and went and got her glass and brought it to her. She took a long sip, set her glass back down (as did I), then reached her other hand around the back of my head and brought my mouth to hers for another wonderful kiss. My hands now did some roaming of their own as I enjoyed the feel of her warm body under the silky (or was it satin, not good at which is which) robe. She didn't seem to mind, as a matter of fact I thought I heard a small moan escape her, so I continued my adventure feeling as much of her body as I could. As my hands finally reached her wonderful ass cheeks, I let them stay there so I could cup them and bring her body so very close to mine. Mia broke our kiss, and in almost a panting voice said, "You said you would follow me anywhere?" "Any and Everywhere" I answered. She reached over to the table and took another long sip of her drink, she then began taking my clothes off. I saw that I was supposed to just stand there and let her have her way, as she was definitely enjoying the process. It was futile to try to hide my now rock hard erection, for as my pants hit the floor, her hands slid the elastic of my boxers over it and let it flap against my stomach. She giggled and continued until I was completely undressed, then took my hard cock in her hand, and pulled me, saying, "now follow Me." She led me to the bed still pulling me by my cock. It was a tremendous sensation and I was enjoying every second of it. Unfortunately for me, she let go, turned me around so my back was towards the bed, and gave me a push so I landed on my back on her bed, with my dick standing out. She smiled down at me with a bit of an evil grin mixed in, giving me a little bit of a goose bump attack. She undid her robe tie, opened both sided, and let the satiny material gently slip off her body. There she stood, in just her bra, panties, a garter and her nylons. Oh my! I have died and gone to heaven! She slid down onto the bed next to me, sliding her body against mine. I loved the feel of her nylon clad legs as they slid up and down my legs and hips, and then playfully kicking my erect cock. I smiled and tried to look at her, but she had already moved her head down to start kissing, then pulling, then biting my nipples. I moaned with this new pleasure, as once again, no one had ever done that to me, and I had no idea my nipples could be so sensitive and give out so much pleasure when someone who knew what to do, actually played with them. Her tongue then lead a trail down to my navel, tickling me there for an instant, and then moved further south and took the tip of my now precum dripping cock into her lips. Once again, I moaned, this time much louder with an "OH YES MIA! Please suck me!" She did just that and with very little trouble took my full 6" inside her mouth, with my dick head down her throat and her tongue causing all sorts of pleasure. She started in earnest moving her mouth, actually fucking my cock with her mouth. I just laid there in total ecstasy, completely at her control, moaning like crazy. "You better slow down Mia, I am going to cum." She popped her mouth off of my cock long enough to pant "that is the plan, fill my mouth with your hot sticky cum." Oh my (again), nasty talk and the most intense and beautiful blow job I have ever had. It wasn't long after her little speech that I could feel my balls start to rumble. She felt it too, and grabbed my balls and massaged them with one hand. Her other hand snuck behind me, and before I knew it, she had a finger up my ass and was massaging my prostate. That was the last straw, I felt rope after rope shoot into Mia's mouth. I thought it would never end, I hoped it would never end. But alas, I shot my final spurt into her, and fell back on the bed completely satiated. Mia slid up my body again to bring her mouth to mine, I thought for another kiss, but she began to fill my mouth with my own cum! I was thinking I should be mortified by this, but actually I found it highly erotic and played right along, savoring it and then making a big exaggerated swallow to take it all down my throat. "My," said Mia, "you are quite amazingly erotic David. You swallowed your own cum for me and you looked like you enjoyed it," "Mia, that was the most incredible orgasm I have ever had, your magic has completely opened me up to do anything and everything with you!" "Oh David, I am so happy to hear you say that. Many men worry about being thought of as gay or some other strange things, leaving them out of so many wondrous sexual adventures. I love the way you have just seemingly let go and have let yourself enjoy new sensations." With that I reached up to fondle her breasts, still covered by her black lace bra. I noticed the bra had a little opening and her nipples hardened at my caress and poked out, so I could flick them with my tongue. Mia sighed and laid herself back to let me explore more of her. I fumbled a bit, but finally released the bra and set her wondrous breasts free. Oh they were beautiful, a handful each, so soft, with lovely dark areola and darker yet nipples. They matched her beautiful skin wonderfully and tasted like sweetness. As I was consuming her breasts, she sort of cleared her throat and pulled my hair to get my face up to hers. "I think I should tell you before you find out, I am a transgender." I stopped for a second, and then said, "Oh, well I am a Libra." Mia laughed and gave me a playful slap across my face. "You do understand what I said right, you knucklehead." "Yes Mia, I understand, you are a beautiful woman, who just happens to have a penis, and I am a man who just happened to be born in October." Mia laughed and seemed to relax again after what must have been hard for her to say. She looked at me, with the most wonderful gaze, taking me in, once again, with those lovely, deep, blue eyes. I felt warm, safe, and loved in the volumes she spoke with just her eyes. "You are quite incredible David, I really did not think I would want another man for quite a while, and you have broken down that barrier so easily. Do you know how much I want you? How much I want to make love to and with you?" Mia Mine Ch. 02 Note, thank you for all the wonderful comments and votes for Mia Mine, hopefully I have learned from the suggestions I received. Hope you like Mia Mine 2, please let me know. * Mia and David lay together in that wondrous after sex glow for a few minutes. Nothing being said, nothing needed to be said. Just their arms around each other feeling the others closeness. Finally Mia rose up and said, "Hey, we were going out for dinner before you so rudely interrupted my plans." With that little jab, David began tickling her under her ribs, and what fun! She was extremely ticklish. He had her laughing and rolling all over the bed trying to get away from his tickles. Finally, both out of breath, "You know, I think I could actually go for some food." "Ok, then" said Mia feigning authority, "time to get showered and dressed for dinner my good man." "Once again fair maiden, I shall follow you anywhere." "Anywhere?" said Mia with almost an evil grin. Whatever kind of grin it was, it excited David to no end. So much so that he once again had risen to the point of giving Mia his 'handle' to lead him into the shower. They both stood there, staring at each other, smiling, as the hot water cascaded around both their naked bodies, simultaneously their hands began to re-explore the others body. This time with the aid of soap suds, their hands slide effortlessly over each others body. David turned Mia around to lather her back, and began working on those tightened muscles in her shoulders. Mia sighed and leaned back against him and basically gave her body to his nimble, yet strong fingers as they worked out those stress tightened muscles. After a bit, Mia began a slow circular motion with her luscious ass, rubbing David's still hardened cock between them. His hands picked up on her 'rhythm' and finished her back to her silent music and dance. He reached down to lather those lovely orbs that had just given him so much pleasure. Once again Mia groaned and let herself totally enjoy his manipulation of her ass cheeks. He let his fingers roam her crack, occasionally bumping into the little puckered opening, which created loud sighs. He finally pushed one, then two fingers inside her and began pumping. Mia pushed back against each of his thrusts and before long was moaning one long, prolonged moan of deep pleasure. David reached his other hand around her and lathered her breasts, paying special attention to those beautiful and highly sensitive nipples, which made Mia almost putty in his hands. He then let his hand slide down to her now fully erect penis, and he 'washed' it carefully, running his clenched hand up and down its hardened sides, and squeezing the tip as he reached it. Mia was now bucking quite furiously and he could sense she wanted to cum again. He slipped his fingers out of her ass, much to her chagrin, turned her around, crouched down in front of her, and put her hard cock into his mouth. He then slid his fingers back to her anal canal to find her prostate. His prostate massage mixed with his growing cock sucking skill had her pumping wildly until he heard her scream "OH DAVID! FUCK I AM CUMMING! TAKE ME! MAKE ME CUM IN YOUR MOUTH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! With that Mia shot stream after stream inside his waiting (and now wanton) mouth. This time he was prepared and did not lose a drop, swallowing most, but saving just a bit, to give back to her with his kiss after her stood to take her in his arms and hold her tightly. Her tongue almost pierced through his lips to taste her freshly spewn semen to share it with him as their mouths converged. Mia regained her composure, and started on him, but David said, "let's finish here and have dinner and come back, is that ok?" "A wonderful idea lover." With that they quickly finished in the shower, Mia readied herself with a small amount of makeup after doing her hair in a ponytail. She didn't have time to do anything else with it, and David had told her she looked sensational in her ponytail. She then began to dress, and heard David sigh as she pulled her nylons up her shapely legs. "Oh yes, it was these beauties that got your attention in the first place, would you care to help you nylon fetish guy you?" Not needing a second invitation, David quickly moved over and helped get her nylons up, straightened, and fastened to her gorgeous black satin garter. "I am going to shock you and not wear my thong or my panties, so you are going to have to be careful not to excite me at the restaurant." "OK, hon" he said, with his fingers crossed behind his back. She slipped into a lovely green v-neck sweater, and another tight fitting skirt, put on her heels, and proclaimed herself ready. David stood with his mouth a bit open, once again wordless. Mia playfully reached over and gave his face a soft mini slap, "Are you with us?" "You really don't have any idea how absolutely gorgeous you are do you?" "Well, as long as you think so, that is a wonderful thing, and all I need, now let's go and get something to eat, the restaurant is down in the lobby and I want to show off my 'new man'. " "And I want to be with the most beautiful woman in the world." Smiling, and arm in arm, they walked to the elevator. Once the door opened and showed it to be empty, they walked inside and as the door closed, David's hand slid to caress Mia's ass. Looking at her reflection in the elevator's mirror, he said, "I certainly feel under dressed." "That is exactly the way I want to keep you, under dressed or not at all" Mia purred. "So now I am a 'kept man'?" "Absolutely, of course if that is to your liking." "Hmmm, well yes, but only if you are the keeper." Mia laughed along with David, and they continued as the bell rang announcing their arrival to the lobby. They got out and walked, arm in arm to the restaurant's reception desk. "Well, good evening Mia! I see you have a guest." "Good evening Grace, yes this is David and he will be dining with me. Please show us your finest and most romantic table for two!" Grace picked up two menus, came out from behind the desk, whispered something in Mia's ear, and they both broke out a loud laugh. She then sashayed past them with a "this way please" said over her shoulder. Grace was a very pretty girl with a fine little rounded ass, which was quite proudly and prominently shown in her little restaurant outfit. Normally David would have oogled that ass all the way to the table, but with Mia on his arm he just noticed and went on. He leaned over and asked Mia what Grace had said. "Oh nothing," she smiled. "Well I guess 'nothing' is pretty funny then." "Ok, if you must know, she said she was very happy to see me with such a fine looking man, with such a hot little ass." "She did not!" Mia patted his ass and smiled, "oh yes." David could feel Mia's breast with his elbow the way she was holding his arm, and he thought he could feel her nipple harden. He pushed a little harder and rubbed his elbow in a circular motion and heard a little Mia sigh. He looked down and thought he could see a little bump in the front of her tight skirt, remembering that she had decided to go without panties. Mia must have seen his gaze and put her purse in front of her, poking him in the ribs and whispering "that's for dessert." They both laughed as Grace helped seat them. "I hope you two have a lovely dinner," she said with a beautiful smile and a wink to Mia, and turned and left them alone at their table. The restaurant, being in the lobby of a waterfront hotel had a great view of the harbor. Their table was right at one of the corners and right at the window so they could look over the water and see all the lights reflecting on the dark water. "I always loved coming up here, such a wonderful view, and now it is even a better view." "Well the view from here is absolutely gorgeous," David said with his eyes fixed on Mia's beautiful face. Just then their wait person arrived, a perky little blonde with a great smile and twinkling blue eyes. "Good evening, I am Samantha, and I will be your wait person. May I get you something to drink and perhaps something from the pre dinner menu? The calamari is spectacular tonight." "Thank you Samantha, we'll have a couple glasses of your house white, and an order of the calamari," Mia said now in her businesswoman voice. "Very good choice, I will be right back with your order and you can look over the menus and let me know what you'd like for dinner," said Samantha and she walked briskly away, swinging her little skirt with each step. "I hope you don't mind me ordering, I am so used to it, I didn't give a second thought." "Everything you ordered is fine with me Mia, I would be happy with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches if it meant having a meal with you," David said with a happy smile. "You are really something David, I don't think I have ever been with someone like you." "Well, I hope that is a good thing," smiled David. "It is the best." Samantha came back with their wine and the calamari, and they talked of Mia's job and travels, and shared some of their history with each other. They had both decided on the surf and turf special with a top sirloin and Dungeness crab legs. They continued talking and both had this wonderful feeling of complete openness, like they could say anything they wished without judgment or misunderstanding. It was a refreshing change for both of them. "I can't remember being able to talk to anyone so candidly before," said David. "I know what you mean darling, I feel like I have known you all my life instead of just a few hours, you make me feel safe, warm, sexy, desired and horny, all at the same time," said Mia with a smile. "You took the words right out of my mouth," said David with a longing smile. They ate and talked, when all of a sudden David thought he heard a clunk under the table. "What was that?" he asked. "I don't know, you better check." David slid his chair back so he could bend over and lift the table cloth to look under the table. As he got completely under the table he noticed one of Mia's shoes had fallen off and hit the metal table support. 'Well that explains the clunk' he said to himself, or so he thought. Mia bent down so she could see him under the table "I think there is something else that may need your attention" she said rather softly, almost huskily. David lifted his gaze only to find Mia had pulled up her skirt, and was now bringing her penis to a rock hard state with a glistening of precum on its tip. "I think I have found the problem" said David feigning his best attempt at a handy man voice. He moved over closer to Mia's lap, lifted her hands from her now rock hard penis, and placed his mouth over the tip to drink in her precum. "Oh My Yes David! I do believe you have found the crux of the problem. Can you patch it up until we get back up to our room?" Mia played along. All she heard was a muffled something, for David's mouth was doing wonders to her raging hardon. "Is everything ok here? Is there a problem with your table?" asked Samantha showing quite a bit of concern at first. "Oh no, Samantha, David has found the crux of the problem, something to do with the hardness of the supports or something very fixable by such a handy guy as he." "Does he need some help?" said Samantha with her expression changing a bit from concern to an almost knowing (and perhaps wanting) look. "Ok, I can see he has the problem firmly in hand then" she said and walked away, more backed away, trying to steal glimpses of what David was actually doing, although she was pretty sure she knew (ha, how little she really knew). She got back to the reception desk and began talking to Grace, who turned and looked at Mia with a broad grin, licked her lips with dramatic sweeps of her tongue and a long held wink. "Ok David, I think we had better take this to our room," said Mia with a bit of sadness in her voice. She pushed David's head softly away, and he backed out from beneath the table, to once again join her sitting at the table with a shit eating type grin. "So, I think I am done with dinner, would you mind if we took a little walk around the marina?" David said, staring into Mia's eyes. "I didn't bring a coat, and it was raining" countered Mia. "Well, the rain has stopped, so I can give you the liner from my jacket, it is very warm. I would just like a short walk with you on my arm to sorta wake up a bit. Two glasses of wine, and a wonderful dinner has me a little past mellow. You know my day usually starts at 3:30, and I don't want a caffeine buzz for what I have planned for us later." "Well, you silver tongued devil you, you have convinced me to try this wild adventure of yours." David stood and removed the flannel/felt liner from his jacket and helped Mia put it on, and zipped it all the way under her chin. Then gave her a short kiss on the lips and put on his jacket, took the dinner bill and the walked arm in arm to the reception desk. "You want me just to put it on your room tab Mia?" said Grace smiling. "That will be perfect, and give Samantha a 40% tip, she was marvelous!" "Well," said David, "I was going to pay for dinner." "That's sweet hon, but are you on an expense account?" "Well, no, I guess I'm kind of a no account in that vein." "You are my guest, and it is my honor and pleasure to have paid for the wonderful dinner we shared, it was the best I have had in a very long time..... and oh yeah, the food wasn't too bad either." David put his arm around Mia's shoulder as they walked out of the lobby to the courtyard. She snuggled as close to his warmth as she could and they walked down the stairs to the harbor side marina. There were quite a few lights still shimmering across the water, and it was a beautiful site when the breeze blew the clouds just enough to see the full moon in the distance, and it's reflection in the water. "This was a great idea David, it is so nice and peacefully beautiful out here. But you did mention a 'short walk' did you not?" David could hear a slight shiver in Mia's voice and knew the salt water air was making her cold. "Ok, let's head up, I feel a lot more awake now, and ready for dessert." "Mmmmmmm yes, I think we shall find a scrumptious dessert." Back in the hotel room, David helped Mia off with his liner, and got his coat off. They both kicked off their shoes, to get more comfortable, David could help notice her feet in her nylons. Hmmm he thought, now I'm into feet too? They stood a bit and enjoyed the warmth, and then David reached his arms out, and Mia flew into them and they kissed, like their first kiss again. Exploring each other's mouth with their tongue, and the doing a little tongue dancing. David reached down Mia's back to start lifting her sweater off. Mia raised her arms so he could slide it all the way off. She loved standing there in front of him in just her black satin bra, with its little push up cups so well hidden in the material. It made her already perky breasts look much fuller and actually gave her an amazing, sexy cleavage. David did not miss this effect and began running his tongue up and down and all over her cleavage, teasing her just a bit, but causing enough pleasure to make Mia moan softly. His deft fingers actually were able to go around her back and unfasten the bra without much of fight (much to his excitement). He lifted each end of the bra out and began to lightly pull it away from Mia's body. Mia was happy to accommodate and helped him slide it all the way off her shoulders and arms. He let if fall in a little heap by her feet, and she now stood before him completely topless. She reached her hands to palm each breasts bottom, to lift them to him as a gift. A gift he was eager to receive and to use. His mouth was so busy sucking on each nipple, using his tongue to tweak them, and when he moved on to the other, he let his fingers do the pinching to make sure she was getting constant pleasure. He was pretty sure he was doing ok, for her moans were getting louder and longer, and he could feel her hands trying to fumble with his buttons on his shirt. She broke away from him and said "I want to see you naked, take off your clothes for me. Take them off slowly, while I watch please.... Pretty please?" "Ok, I will try, I have never done a strip tease before, I always seem to rush to get undressed as fast as I can." "Do your best David, I am sure it will be fine." So he did her bidding, and slowly finished unbuttoning his shirt, playing with the last button a bit before finally freeing it from the button hole. He then swept his arms out and slowly reached across his chest to remove each sleeve slowly, as per her orders. He finally got the shirt completely off, and twirled it a bit over his head, and then twirled it above Mia's head. She laughed and grabbed the shirt from him and said, "come on, I want more!" Now he was feeling into it and he reached for the bottom of his t-shirt that was tucked inside his jeans. He pulled it slowly up and out of his jeans, lifting even more he revealed his relatively flat stomach. No six pack, but no rolls. Mia began to laugh, clap, and then that loud whistle with her fingers in her mouth. David was spurred on even more by her reaction so slowly pulled the shirt up his chest. He slipped one arm, and then the other out of their sleeve and then in one fluid motion lifted it up and over his head. This time he threw it at her face. She giggled with glee, holding it tightly to her nose to take in his manly aroma. "MMMMMMMM" she said, "I think you are going to have to give me this shirt." David smiled and now really getting into giving her a show, for she seemed to be getting hotter and hotter as he went on. Now, being completely topless, he had to fend off Mia's probing hands saying "the show must go on!" She gave a fake little pout and sat like a child waiting for her ice cream cone. He began again, slowly undoing his belt, and instead of just going straight for the button and zipper on his jeans, he decided to take the belt out of all the loops, and swing it around. He swung it softly to playfully "whip" Mia's thigh. She gasped as an "OH!" escaped her mouth, and he decided to let the belt fall to the floor. His hands then moved to his jeans button, which he undid, holding it for a bit, before unzipping his fly. He moved the zipper very slowly and thought he could hear Mia's breathing get harder. Once the zipper was completely down, he did a little ass shake and brought the jeans down his legs to the floor. Mia jumped up and applauded, as from all his walking his legs were quite toned. She did the whistle again, and a cat call type of "More, I need More!" So, with just his boxers on, he decided to play a little, and pulled the front down a bit, and then pulled it back up. He started thinking of a song (Wild Thing by the Troggs- he had no idea why) and sort of danced and swayed to the music in his head. He turned around and gave her a really big ass shake, and even toyed with the elastic band there a little too, moving in up and down. He did his best attempt at a twirl to get him facing her again, just in time to catch her trying to reach for his ass. "Ok, you've teased me enough" she said, show me, show me. And with that, he pulled his boxers down, being careful to lift the band over his now hardened penis, let the boxers drop to the floor, and in his best attempt at a sultry walk, walked right over to Mia. She reached for his hardened penis, but he said "wait! It's your turn now, I want to see you naked as well!" It was a little easier for Mia, since David had already made her topless, so she reached for the side of her skirt to unzip it. David smiled as he looked at the front of her skirt, which now showed a large bulge. Mia followed his gaze and said "See what your strip tease did to me?" She found her zipper and slowly pulled it all the way down, loosening her skirt enough that it fell to the floor. She stepped out of it and stood in her nylons, garter, and now free hardon. David walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her to kiss her again. They crushed their hard penises together, and David was amazed at how good it felt to feel how excited he made this woman who was exciting him to travel to new and extremely erotic places. He felt her grind her hips into him and reached down to hold her hardness. Mia groaned and reached her hands behind him to cup his butt cheeks and pulled him even closer to him, so his hand could feel both hardened cocks as they rubbed. Mia Mine Ch. 02 "God I want this ass," said Mia in a husky whisper into David's ear, "it's yours" his only reply. Mia started to push him towards the bed, and when they reached the side, pushed him all the way onto the bed. "What a sight to behold," said Mia, "this is quite a sight as well," replied David. "Hold on for just a minute," said Mia. She reached down to give his penis a squeeze, went over to her suit case, and came back with a little bottle of something. "I am normally a 'bottom' which means I am usually the one to give her ass to be fucked, but you and your hot ass have made me want to take you." "I want that too Mia, I want to feel your hard cock in my ass." Mia was so excited hear this, and hurriedly opened the bottle. "This is some lovely lubricant I found, it will help you on your first time, as will I" With that she liberally squeezed the lubricant over her fingers and on his little puckered opening. She slid one finger in first, slowly, hearing and loving his moan. She reached her first knuckle, and kept up the pressure until she was all the way in. She looked at his face and could see the mixture of outright pleasure with a bit of trepidation and pain. "Relax as much as you can David, I will be gentle, but it will hurt a bit at first until you get used to relaxing and letting yourself feel how good it feels." David tried, but had little experience in having his ass played with. Once her finger got all the way in, she slowly pulled it back out, just to the opening, and then pushed it in all the way a bit faster this time. David emitted a loud "OH!" and she pulled it back, only to push even faster a third time. She could feel his muscles relax a bit, so pushed in a second finger. He took this with another small grimace but she could see he was beginning to start to give over to the pleasure of it. She started fucking him hard with her two fingers, in and out, with growing force, and he finally said "Please Mia, now, I want to feel you inside me now, Oh God that feels so good!" Mia needed no more encouragement and she used the lube on her rock hard penis, threw the bottle to the side, grabbed her hard cock and rubbed the entrance of his virgin ass. She slowly slid the tip all the way inside. "Oh David, you feel so good!" His hips were now pushing up to her, and she continued pushing, past his sphincter and she could feel his last bit of unconscious defense go away. She pushed all the way in and held herself there, feeling his balls against her. His head was swaying back and forth. He had never felt such a fullness, such wonderful way of giving himself up to a lover. Mia was in ecstasy as she saw the look on David's face and knew he was feeling what she was feeling. A joy of being in the throes of passion with one who shared so many things. She slowly at first, began pumping herself into him, a slow but deep thrusting, all the way to the hilt with each thrust. David was trying to lift himself up to accept each of her thrusts now, making his hard cock dance in front of her eyes. At this point she had both of her hands on each side of his hips, and began in earnest to thrust wildly enjoying each thrust. "Oh yes Mia, fuck my ass," screamed David. She continued to pump furiously and soon heard him say "Please cum inside me Mia, let me feel your hot cum all the way inside." She needed no more encouragement and felt her balls tighten, she reached her hand down to take David's hard cock and began pumping it in time with each of her pounding thrusts. She felt his cock begin to pulsate in her fist and watched in awe as he screamed "OH YES! I'm CUUUUMMING MIA". He shot rope after rope of semen with such force the first blast hit his chin. The ensuing blasts dwindled in force and amount, but filled his chest and stomach with his seed. This pushed her over the edge, she grabbed both his hips again, thrust one last deep time as far as she could inside him and screamed herself "OH David! I am filling you, take me!" With that, she kept herself buried as deeply inside his ass as she could, and felt herself shooting load after load until she was completely spent, and fell in heap on top of him. They slowly rolled over so they were both completely on the bed, but still in each other's arms. As Mia finally began to 'come to' she playfully rubbed David's stomach and chest to fill her hands with his cum. David began to be a little more back with it as he started to feel all the cum Mia had shot into him slowly run out his ass. He reached back to fill his fingers with her cum, and put it to his mouth, to be joined by Mia's fingers and her mouth. They sucked each others and their own cum, together, as they were now, together. Mia Mine Ch. 03 Note: thank you again to all of you wonderful readers of the Mia Mine story. I appreciate your making it a favorite. But please feel free to comment, and please, please vote after you read. Thank You, Cliptoe (I am having a blast with this series!) Mia held David tightly to her, as they both came down together from their monumentally exciting love making session. "You are amazing" she whispered in his ear. "No, you are" he whispered back over his shoulder. They both laughed a little, and enjoyed the 'spooning' as Mia held him closely to her, with his hot ass still rubbing up against her now (amazingly) stirring penis. David felt her 'stirring' and began moving his ass to push against her. "I have never been the spoonee before, always the spooner". Mia laughed and pushed herself harder against his ass. They lay like this for a while longer, until David turned over so he could face her. "I want to look at your beautiful face" he said softly caressing her cheek with the back of his hand. Mia melted at his touch, closed her eyes and half sighed, half moaned. "Do you mind if we talk for a while Mia?" David asked. "No hon, I would like that very much" Mia answered. "You are such an exciting, beautiful, intelligent, highly erotic and sexual being, it is so hard for me to understand how I am so lucky to be with you, sharing all the wonderful things that you are." "That is so sweet, David, but you don't see what a beautiful, charming, witty, intelligent, attractive, but most of all understanding and open man you are. I find it extremely exciting to be in your company. I have had such a rough time of it, from my very beginning, you just wouldn't know." "You are right, I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like for you growing up. Do you mind telling me about it? I'm a very good listener, and would love to hear and share 'your story'." "Well, ok David, I will tell you, it is funny, I have never really told anyone the whole story. So, I thank you for giving me the chance. Just tell me if you get bored and we can move on to something else." "I won't get bored, Mia, I love the sound of your voice by itself, so having you tell me about yourself, the woman I am quickly and deeply falling for, would be a great pleasure for me." "Wow, ok, with that type of intro I guess I can tell the story without fear of being judged. I think it will be a very good release for me, so here 'goes. I really don't remember ever thinking of myself as anything but a girl. My earliest memories are of playing dress up and having dolls to play with. As I got older, my father would try to take me out and play ball, or kick the soccer ball around, or shoot hoops. I found it to be very boring, and besides I wasn't very good at it. He got really upset one time and started yelling at me, well screaming really, that I had to start doing things boys do. I told him I wasn't a boy, that I was a girl. His face got so red and I thought he was going to hit me. He reached his large hands out and grabbed me, threw me down on the ground, unzipped my zipper, reached in and roughly pulled out my penis. He screamed, "See this? This is YOUR PENIS! This makes you a boy that will grow into a man.!" His rough hands pulling at my little penis hurt so much I began to cry. He scoffed that I cried like a sissy girl and stormed off, leaving me there on the ground, with my penis laying outside my jeans. I lay like that for what seemed like hours, but it was only a couple minutes before my mom came out and helped me put myself back together. She picked me up and held me so closely to her, telling me 'it's okay baby, it's ok, he's gone now.' That's when I pulled back from her to see her nose was bleeding and her eye was blackened. I got up and helped her back into the house and tended to her as well as a 7 year old could. That was the last time I ever saw my father." Mia had a little tear welling up in the corner of her eye, and David felt the need to reach over and hold her. She gladly fell into his arms and he whispered, "It's okay baby, it's okay, you don't have to go on if you don't want to." Mia smiled through her tear, and just let David hold her silently for a while. She felt almost the same love from him as she did when her mother comforted her, but this was even better, because he was not only her comforter, but her lover as well, and it was a wonderful feeling. "You give me such confidence, knowing I have a caring soul to share all this with, I think I can continue....... So, my father left. At that time my mother was a Psychology professor at a local community college. I think her intelligence and understanding helped her understand me, and my situation. She decided then and there to send out her resume to several other schools in different cities. She finally found one, two states away, and we moved. Her parents had left her a little inheritance that she used to get me started on the hormone treatments as soon as I was old enough. Moving to a new state, made all the difference. I felt I could flourish and grow into the girl, then woman, I so desperately wanted to be. The hormone treatments made my growth the same as all the other girls in middle school, then high school. My breasts grew as did my hips. I was beginning to really look like a pretty girl, and was so excited. But at the same time I was a little hesitant. I started liking boys, being attracted to them, and they began to ask me out. I turned them all down, and got a reputation of being stuck up. It wasn't that I was stuck up, I was just afraid to go out with a boy, start liking him, and then when he found out about my transgender situation, he would behave like my father. My mother tried to comfort me, and told me I would find someone. I really kept to myself most of the time, and really got interested in computers and programming. There was a wonderful teacher at my high school who saw that I wished to immerse myself into that work, and really became my mentor and gave me a whole bunch of extra work, well beyond the scope of the class. He had worked as a programmer for a large software company for a while, but wanted a little slower and less stressful life, so he settled in our little town, and I was glad he did. Then there was this new boy, Jonathan, who came to the class and in very little time showed he too was removed from the social part of high school, and had thrown himself into computing, but especially loved the gaming end of it. He was very talented and had actually designed and programed a couple games himself. He started hanging around after class with me and the teacher. He was really good looking with his long blonde hair, clear almost piercing blue eyes, and relatively fit body. Oh, but when he smiled, I would melt. I could tell I was falling for him, and I thought I felt he had interest in me as well. We spent a lot of time together doing the extra work, and even collaborated on a couple assignments. We got along really well, and then one day he asked me if I wanted to come over to his house so he could show me a new game he was working on. I jumped at the chance and we left the school right away and walked to his house. He amazed me about halfway through the walk when he reached over and held my hand. It felt so good to be walking holding hands! I was in heaven! We got to his house, and went down into the basement. He had basically taken over the basement as his study, lab, and gaming den. The entire room was jam packed with electronic equipment. He showed me his new game, we each held a controller and sat right next to each other on an overstuffed sofa. We laughed and played hard trying to capture each other's space station with all sorts of weapons and tricks. Finally, Jonathan captured my station and the game was over. We both dropped our controls and looked at each other, and then it happened. He leaned over and kissed me. Oh my what a kiss! He had me, I would have been putty in his hands. All those years of sexual frustration seemingly coming to an end! Our kiss soon became so hot and passionate, our hands began to roam. He found my breasts and started playing with my nipples that were so hard, tender, and sensitive by my being so turned on. I let my hand caress his thigh and then let it move up to his crotch, and could feel how hard he was as his hardened penis was straining against his clothes. I unzipped his jeans, reached inside, and brought his penis out through the hole in his boxers. He was so turned on he was moaning loudly. I stopped our kiss and moved my head down so I could start on his rock hard, veined penis, which was now standing a proud 7". I let my tongue gently lick his tip, so I could taste his pre-cum, it was delicious. I then opened my mouth and began to suck him inside, letting my tongue go crazy on the sides and under his fold. He was now moaning so loudly 'Yes yes Mia!' I continued on and started moving my mouth up and down on him taking him as far into my mouth as I could. I had never done it, only read about it, so I didn't know how to 'throat' him, but I tried. But I don't think it would have mattered because with only a few of my head thrusts going up and down he soon shot his teenaged wad into my mouth. I took it all in, and swallowed it while he finished screaming. While he was coming back from his intense orgasm, I began undoing the buttons on my blouse and took it off. I finished taking off my bra that Jonathan had left a bit askew from his handling of my breasts. I stopped at the zipper of my skirt and started to be a little apprehensive as to how or if I was going to tell him about me being a transgender. I didn't have much time to think about it for Jonathan's mouth was now attacking my naked breasts, and moving his hands down to my skirt. Before I could even think of how to break the news to him, he had lifted my skirt, and put his hand in my panties, only to physically jump away from me after feeling my hardon. 'You have a penis?!?!?!?' He screamed at me as if I was a leper. It was like I didn't even recognize the boy in front of me now. His face had changed to extreme anger and repulsion. He screamed at me to get dressed and get out of his house. I quickly put my things back on and ran as fast as I could, crying all the way home. I was so mortified. I thought I wanted to die. I felt like I was going to be all alone in this world my whole life. When I got home I immediately ran up to my room, jumped face first onto my bed, face in my pillow, and sobbed uncontrollably for hours." David felt so much after hearing this, anger at Jonathan, and so sad for Mia. His mind was racing with all the emotions that were running through him. He wanted to punch out Jonathan for being such a fuck, but wanted to hold Mia as tenderly as he could. Since Jonathan was not there, his choice became holding Mia, which he did. He held her tightly, and she sobbed against his chest. He rubbed her back, and tried to even massage those hardened neck and shoulder muscles. "It's okay baby, you are safe here, I love you and will never let you feel alone again." When Mia heard the "L" word she lifted her head up immediately to look into his eyes. He was looking at her with such passion and compassion together, she could feel the warmth and safety and wanted to be looking into those eyes for the rest of her life. "I love you too David." They lay on the bed, silent, but together for a little while. Just enjoying the faint sounds of the harbor that filtered in through the thick hotel windows. The ferry horn was almost calming, as they heard it, and then heard the echoes as the sound made its way down the inlet. Finally, Mia said, "Do you mind if we continue the rest of the story at another time?" "Of course not baby, whenever you are ready, so will I be ready to listen." Mia smiled and kissed her new man and thought how lucky she was now. A few hours ago, she was just a prim, proper business woman, keeping to herself (as always). Then, this wonderful man appeared in her life, and everything was beginning to change. She let her hand run up and down his side, and they lay on their sides, facing each other. Her hand followed the curves of the muscles on his thigh, then down to his calf, and then back up all the way to his shoulder. "Mmmmmm, that feels wonderful Mia" murmured David. She knew her caresses were making his manhood stir a bit, as she could feel him growing into her. Feeling his penis getting hard against her flaccid one excited her tremendously. She felt her nipples harden, and her own penis losing its flaccidity. David began to caress her as well, letting his hands free on her lovely body. He settled on her breasts, going from one to the other, cupping them, caressing them, squeezing the hardened nipples between his thumb and finger. Each squeeze brought a beautiful moan from Mia who began to close her eyes and rotate her head in pleasure. David let his hand move south, rubbing her tight tummy and then playing a bit with her navel. Mia giggled at this and reached down between them to hold both of their hard cocks at the same time. It was difficult, but she was able to almost circle the two of them, and pump her hand up and down. They both moaned and then Mia shot up and said "I want to ride you!" "Oh my, I don't quite know what that means, but I think I am going to enjoy it tremendously." "Ok, on your back, and scoot up a bit. Let me take this pillow and put it under your hot little ass." She readied him and crawled over so she was straddling his crotch. She reached down with both hands and massaged him to full hardness. Then she leaned over to the bed stand and pulled out one of her bottles of lubricant. She carefully applied the scented and heated oils to his now rock hard penis. Holding it again with both hands, she lifted up on her haunches, carefully guided herself over his penis, and began to slowly lower herself. She could feel his tip at her small puckered opening. She slid down a little further while guiding him inside her anal canal. "Oh yes" cried Mia. She then pushed down full force and took him all the way inside her. David was in heaven, watching this beautiful woman impale herself on his manhood, and enjoying herself beyond words. He loved watching her breasts move with each of her now up and down thrusts. He really loved watching her hardened penis bobbing up and down with each of her movements. He could no longer contain himself and reached out to hold her hard penis, and to stroke it. He looked over to the side of the bed where she had thrown the lubricant bottle, reached for it and picked it up. He applied a liberal amount to her hardness and after discarding the bottle, began stroking her in time with her thrusts on him. "OH YES MIA! Ride me, buck me like a bronco, fuck me like a wanton whore, I want to shoot my load deep inside you and let you feel what you do to me." "OH Yes David! Stroke my hard cock, let me know when you are ready to cum, I want us to shoot our loads at the same time." "Mia mine, you are fucking me so good, I am really close." "Stroke me faster David, bring me close." Mia thrust harder and deeper, and David could feel his balls tighten and the whole process beginning. He was amazed at her furious sexual frenzy. "OH Mia, I am so close!" he screamed. His hands were now wildly pumping her making sure to make contact with her sensitive head with each stroke. "NOW DAVID NOW! CUM FOR ME, CUM INSIDE ME, I AM READY TO SHOOT MY SEED ALL OVER YOU!" "AAARRRGGGGHHH, YESSSSSSSS MIA I AM CUMMING!" As David shot what he thought had to be the biggest load he had ever felt, he watched her balls tighten and then her ropes of cum shooting out. She too had a massive orgasm as her first shot landed right on his face. The next shots filled his chest then stomach. He reveled in being able to see her orgasm, and then felt the load on his face trickling down towards his mouth. As Mia finally opened her eyes she was rewarded with the sight of her cum making its way into David's waiting and wanton mouth. He took it in hungrily and even scooped up some from his chest and stomach with his fingers. He put some in his mouth, then put some in Mia's mouth. She then leaned forward to kiss him, and they heard the soft little pop of his now limp penis popping out of Mia's luscious ass. She lay there, on top of David, kissing him deeply (and being kissed deeply right back). She could feel his seed starting to leak out of her, and she reached back to get some to bring to their kiss, to mix their seed together. David was in heaven. He was totally into this woman whom he had just met a few short hours ago. He was amazed at how somewhere between their meeting and now, they seemed to have shared a lifetime. He felt he knew her inside and out and loved every view of her. He also felt he knew himself better, who he really was, what he wanted, and felt he now knew the pathway to find it. "A penny for your thoughts" smiled Mia. "I was just thinking how quickly we have come together. How safe and warm and open I feel with you, like we have known each other for ever. And how that could be possible." "Well my love, perhaps in many ways we have known each other forever. You epitomize the man I have always dreamed of sharing my life with." With that, Mia jumped up from the bed and bounded the bathroom saying "I have to pee" over her shoulder at David. He was transfixed at the site he had just beheld. Her simple little movement had mesmerized him. He had watched her gracefully bounce off the bed, with her now flaccid penis and ball sac bouncing up and down as she bounded then ran. It was a mixture of opposites. A beautiful woman gracefully doing such a simple thing, but her genitalia being what was heretofore known as male had made for a very erotic and enjoyable sight. He could hear the toilet flush, then the water run, then be turned off. Mia glided effortlessly back to him, and once again he watched her penis bob up and down as she moved, as did her breasts. He sighed. Mia, perplexed asked "what is it?" "I was just enjoying your duplicity" he said. "I don't think I follow you," said Mia. He tried to put his thoughts into words, explaining the excitement he felt as he watched her body move, and the parts of her body move. "I think I get it, but I will tell you, I will be waiting with bated breath for you to go, so I can watch," Mia said smiling. "So, do you stand when you pee?" asked David. Mia playfully punched him in the ribs, "are you kidding me?" "Well, yes, I guess I am." They both laughed and once again folded into a full body embrace on the bed. The long day started to catch up with David and his eyes became heavy with sleep. Feeling so warm and safe in Mia's arms, it wasn't long before he was fast asleep. Mia didn't mind at all, she loved that he would feel comfortable enough to fall asleep in her arms. She knew his days started at 3:30 AM to catch the 4:40 boat, and since it was now well after 11:00, he had to be tired. Not just the time but the wonderful and dynamic sex they had enjoyed. She smiled to herself, content to feel him in her arms. Feel his breath on her breasts. She whispered "I'm never going to let you go." Mia Mine Ch. 04 Mia was startled awake by a ringing noise. David stirred then said, "Oh Shit! Forgot about my cell phone alarm." Mia looked over to the clock on the night stand and saw it was 3:30 AM. "Do you really have to go to work today? I have to stay here, I have several meetings here today, so I won't be taking the ferry to Seattle." "Yes, I do have to go, I have some meetings set up for today as well. But I certainly didn't have to wake up this early to make it to the ferry on time since your hotel is right across the courtyard from the terminal." "So you are saying you have a little time before you have to leave?" said Mia as she started kissing her way down his chest. "Oh my yes, we do have a little time, and I am enjoying your idea as to how to spend it," said David moving over onto his back, giving Mia a perfect avenue to his now hardening penis. Mia alternated between dragging her tongue on his body, and planting little kisses. She did stay a little longer at his belly button, letting her tongue play in and out with it. David moaned and put his hands on her head. She let him guide her to his now rock hard penis, and she started her tongue at the base, and slowly licked her way up to its tip. Her actions were rewarded with a copious amount of his pre cum that now glistened in the little light that made it into the dark room. Mia savored the pre cum, and made a point to smack her lips after she brought it all into her mouth. She then hovered a bit over him, he moaned and pushed her head down harder. She opened her mouth and let him guide her all the way down, taking him in her mouth and throat as far as it would go. She held that position for a while, letting her tongue play and breathing around his pulsating penis. She then cupped his balls in her hand and gently squeezed them, creating another and now louder moan. She began in earnest now to rapidly go up and down his shaft. She sensed his urgency as his balls tightened in her grip, and she began a faster up and down motion while she sucked. David's legs began to shake and she knew he was close, so she pulled back so just his tip was in her mouth. With a loud "YES!" he began to shoot his seed, she took load after load, having to swallow to keep up. David's ass lifted up off the bed, and Mia put her hands under it and held him closely to her mouth, to get the last little dribbles, then let him fall back down, completely satiated. After his breathing began to become close to normal he said, "Mia my dear that was absolutely fantastic!" "I wanted to send you off with something to remember me by," said Mia. "Oh I have volumes to remember you by," said David with a huge smile. He reached over and kissed Mia deeply, their tongues intertwining and held her so closely. She felt wonderful in his arms, being held and kissed like she had never been before. Unfortunately David saw the time and said "I have to shower and get going". Mia asked, "Are they going to wonder about you wearing the same outfit two days in a row?" David laughed heartily, "No one there really cares what I wear, as long as I am there and not naked. Besides my dear, you wear outfits, I wear what is clean and on top of the stack. That beautiful body of yours deserves the most beautiful clothes as possible to highlight the beauty underneath. It sounds like your work is more in person than mine anyway. 80% of what I do is on the phone or on the computer so very few people actually see me." "Well, that is their loss, and I want to see as much of you as I can, and perhaps we'll work on your outfits," said Mia with a smile, "and besides if you talk to any women on the phone with that voice of yours, they are probably ready to come through the wire and rip off whatever you are wearing anyway." "Hmmm, well they do a good job of hiding that feeling," laughed David as he got up and headed towards the shower. Mia laid in bed, languishing in her feelings for David, loving the fact that he was naked in the shower, in her room, and now with her. She even heard him humming and smiled, knowing he must be as happy as she. David got out of the shower, having not closed the door, he gave Mia a little show before he walked over to the sink to shave and brush his teeth. He let his towel drop when he saw her looking at him and gave her his attempt at a sexy pose. They both laughed at his attempt and he got his morning routine out of the way and walked back into the bedroom. As he dressed, he reached over and took his cell phone. "Put your phone on vibrate and in your front pocket, when I call or text you today I want to know I am really reaching you." David laughed, put his phone on vibrate, and slipped it into his front pocket as ordered, patted the phone, then patted his penis, "They are now connected and awaiting your touch." Mia gave him another of those radiant smiles, and he once again melted as he did the first time he saw that beautiful smile. "God, you make it so hard to leave." "Well, hopefully I make it so hard when you stay." "Oh, you do my sweet, you most certainly do." He leaned down and gave her a long, hard kiss good-bye, got his coat and backpack on, and hurried out the door, as even though he was already so close to the ferry, he had heard the loading announcement already. He got into the elevator, pushed the lobby button and waited. He could hardly believe what had happened, how he had fallen so deeply for this wonderful woman. He had never been with a transgender woman, and had only met a few in his college years when he cooked at a relatively famous, landmark restaurant in Seattle. A few of the waitresses and hostesses there became his friends, and had confided in him during drinks after work. They were all much older, and so experienced, he admired their confident and graceful acceptance of who they really were. The elevator dinged at the lobby and brought him out of his reverie. He hurried out the door and out of the hotel's lobby, out to the courtyard, pretty deserted at this time of day. While he hurried, he felt his phone vibrate, already? He smiled as he reached for his phone. The text message only said "Look up!" He looked up, and saw Mia in the window, with the curtains pulled around her so just her face was visible. She was smiling at him, and looking around. As he waved, she could see there was no one else looking so quickly spread open the curtains to give him a view of her naked breasts. David almost choked as he lost his breath for a moment. He could see her breasts jiggling as her body racked with laughter. She quickly closed the curtains again and blew him a kiss. He gave her an overly accentuated full body kiss and hurried to get on the ferry, just before they closed the loading ramp. As soon as he sat down, he took out his phone and called Mia. "Miss me already darling?" she answered on the first ring, knowing he would call. "You are amazing, you beautiful thing you. What a sendoff! Just so you know, even running to catch my ferry, you had me hard with your little show. What a dare devil you are!" "Oh I am a devil alright, you are just beginning to find out about all my mysteries," cooed Mia. "Ok, so I am about ready to jump off this ferry and swim back." Mia laughed with David and told him to have a wonderful, but quick day, and hurry back to her. David agreed to that plan and told her to get some rest before she started her day. They both kissed their phones and gave their love yous. Mia slipped back into bed, feeling a little pang of sadness as she touched the spot David had slept in. Then she smiled and let all the wonderful feelings rush into her mind and feel the sensations they created in her body. She was also wondering how she could be falling so quickly for someone. True, she had never met someone quite like David, but she knew she had dreamed of him all these years. She marveled at how she had always thought she wanted someone to "accept" her for who she was. But now she realized she loved the warm feeling he created, because he didn't really "accept" her. It was beyond "accept", he seemed to just see beyond all the differences, all the things people had thrown into her face as she had grown and let her become a part of him, as he had now become a part of her. A little tear ran down her face as she felt so happy. She let herself drift off into sleep with that thought in mind and that tear on her cheek. Mia awoke at 8:30 when her alarm went off. She was glad she hadn't scheduled her first meeting until 10:00, so she had plenty of time to get ready. Then she realized, it was Friday! She was scheduled to fly back home to San Francisco tonight! She quickly got her briefcase opened and got her ticketing information. She got her lap top fired up and went to her airline's site to check their schedules. Since it was a relatively short flight, she saw an early Monday morning flight that would work. 'Should I call David and find out what he thought?' she wondered. She suddenly had that old feeling of insecurity, what happens if he can't or doesn't want to see me? No! She calmed down, and began to trust her own feelings and the things David had said to her. She was sure he was well into his first meeting by this time and decided to go ahead and take the chance. She rescheduled her flight (for a not so small fee) for the early morning flight on Monday. I want to spend as much time with him as I can, she thought. She felt good about taking the chance, and went in to take her shower. She was amazed at the feeling of her hands on her body as she washed, for they were no longer her hands, but his. Each touch of herself was as if it were really his hands. She loved the feeling as she let her/his hands caress her breasts. She had always thought they were too small, but David said he loved them, and he certainly showed it the way he caressed and kissed them. She allowed her/his hands to travel down to her now hard penis, and just held it, like he had the first time. She closed her eyes and remembered each sweet moment of their lovemaking as she held herself, and let the warm water cascade on her tilted face and run down her body. She reached for her shampoo and squirted a bit of the wonderful lavender smelling liquid onto her palm. She lathered her hair filling the entire shower with the wonderful fragrance. After rinsing she decided to use a little of the conditioner, because she wanted her hair to sparkle as brightly as she felt. Upon the final rinse she stepped out of the shower and wiped the now fogged up mirror. She smiled at her reflection for the first time in a very long time. She had always tried to keep up a confident front in business, and with her prowess and experience, it was easy. She had never been able to transfer that into her personal life like she felt now. "I have to give David a big thank you kiss for that," she said to her smiling reflection. After drying her hair, brushing her teeth and applying her very light make up, she walked out into the bedroom to begin getting dressed. Before she made it past the bed, she saw her phone light blinking and saw that David had left her a text. "Sure miss you! Thank you again for a wonderful night. I just realized it was Friday and I hadn't asked you what your plans were." Mia smiled and decided to play a little bit and texted back, "Well I am scheduled to fly back tonight." It seemed she had barely finished pushing send, when her phone rang. "You're flying back tonight?!?!?" "Well, hello to you too dear." "Mia, I am so sorry I forgot what day it was and hadn't really asked you your plans. I was hoping we could at least spend the weekend together. Is there any way you can reschedule your flight? I know there is an early morning flight to 'Frisco on Monday morning. I can drive you to the airport. You can check out of your hotel and stay with me at my house," David rambled frantically. Mia smiled to herself, thinking she was so happy she was right about taking the chance and rescheduling, but happier that David had responded like she had hoped. Her trust was rewarded and that was a lovely feeling. "Honey, honey, relax, I already made that change on my flight I just didn't want to assume you wanted to spend the weekend with me since you hadn't said anything." "Once again, I am so sorry. Meeting you, and having that wonderful night last night, put me in such a wonderful daze that I was so wrapped up in how great I was feeling I lost all sense of the day and that I should have asked you your plans." "I understand the daze part, it is happening to me as well," said Mia. "I would love to spend the weekend with you David." "Oh wonderful! Thank you! I have to get going right now, but can we talk a little later to set up how we are going to meet tonight?" "I will text you when I get done with my first meeting, probably around 11:00, until then, please know I am missing you, your arms around me, your body next to and inside mine." "Wow! That certainly deserves a big Me Too!" David said a little quieter as his appointment had arrived. They hung up and Mia realized she had dawdled a bit and had to hurry to get herself ready. She quickly put on her special thong, panties, and bra, a nice light blue lace set that was ok, but not all that sexy. She really had packed lightly for what she thought was going to be a short trip and certainly hadn't packed any sexy underwear. She was sorry about that, but realized she couldn't do much about it right now. She took out her light blue silk blouse and buttoned it up, then smiled, and undid the two top buttons. She reached for the skirt of her grey suit and slipped in on over her hips, smiling once again, he loves my hips. She zipped the skirt up and put on the matching jacket, turned around and gave herself a nod of approval in the mirror. She hastily threw her stuff into her suitcase and garment bag and started carting everything down to the lobby to check out. Mia arrived at the new office suites with about 5 minutes to spare. She had left everything but her briefcase in the rental car, and had hoped David would help her return it when he got back. She walked passed her on site assistant, Jennifer, saying a quick hello, and into the office she was using while in town. Jennifer came in shortly after, smiling. "What are you smiling about Jennifer?" asked Mia. "Well, I think someone got laid last night," said Jennifer with a little giggle. "Oh my, does it really show?" "Well if you count a face beaming with such intensity that they can see the light on Mars, I'd have to say yes." Mia laughed. She liked her assistant. Jennifer was a really pretty girl, in her early 20's with long blonde hair and her face showing a bit of her Norwegian heritage, as did her beautiful blue eyes. She was a great worker and a pleasure to work with. She was at that stage in her life where she didn't want a steady romance, but wanted to check everything out and enjoy life to its fullest. Mia admired that about her. She had always felt a little jealous of all the male attraction Jennifer seemed to create. She was one of those women who, when walking into a place, turned all the male and a lot of female heads. Mia knew she had the same effect, but was tired of getting her hopes up, only to be dashed when she told them she was a transgender person. More times than she wanted to count, either her truth was met with open rejection, sometimes hostile like her father and Jonathan, or like it was an open invitation for everything kinky. She thought back and decided the open rejection was almost better, for at least she wasn't strung along by someone trying to dabble in a dark fantasy, who would 'play' along for a while and then dump her. "So are you going to just sit there beaming or are you going to spill some of the juicy details?" asked Jennifer. "Ok, I did meet a man, he is wonderful, handsome, strong, intelligent, funny, and most of all, falling as quickly for me as I am him." Mia was surprised at her open answer as she was usually not one to share much of her personal self, with anyone. "WOW! That was quick. How long have you know him then?" Jennifer asked. Mia laughed again, "We met on the ferry last night." "Oh you little vixen you! That is incredible. What's his name?" "David and he is the epitome of the Biblical definition of the name, beloved." "Well, you always have been one to know what you want and how to get it," said Jennifer. "I guess I have in most ways, haven't I?" Mia smiled. "Now, let's get ready for the first interviews, we need to get this office staffed." With that Jennifer went out and brought in the first of 3 people interested in heading the operation in the new offices. Mia tried hard to keep her mind from wandering while trying to listen to them answer her questions. She made herself look like she was listening intently, but in truth, none of the three really interested her at all. After they left, she asked Jennifer what she thought. "Well, to be frank, I really didn't like any of them, and certainly couldn't see them running the show here." "My thoughts exactly," said Mia. "Ok give me a few moments to type up my notes, and we'll do the next group." Mia looked down at her laptop and tried to think how she was going to write her reports about the three prospects. She looked up and Jennifer was still standing there, smiling. "What is it Jenn?" "I was just thinking of how smitten you must be with this new guy, because that one guy was a real hottie and he could not stop ogling you, and you didn't even seem to notice at all." "Hmmmm, you're right, I didn't notice him and I really don't even remember either one of them being hot at all." Jennifer laughed and said "You've got it bad Mia," and left the office, closing the door behind her with hercute little ass wiggling in her tight wool pants. Mia immediately texted David, knowing his phone would vibrate next to his penis, that penis she missed and wanted in her hands, in her mouth, and inside her now wanton ass. "I'm naked and hard and waiting for you," she texted. "Ok, I'm going to have to rent a helicopter to get there faster! Do you have a minute to talk? I really want to hear that lovely voice," was David's reply. Mia dialed and David answered, "Hello you beautiful, sexy woman of mine!" "Oh David, yes I am your woman, as you are my man." "You've got it hon. How is your day going?" "Well, other than fighting my mind from wandering into bed with you, not so hot. The first set of interviews didn't go well, not too impressed." "Sorry to hear that, but will that mean you will have to stay longer?" Mia laughed, "No I don't think I can push that panic button yet, we have another set to interview in a few minutes." "Ok, well, I have gotten myself cleared, so I am going to be taking the 3:00 ferry instead of the 4:20, will you be ready for me by 4:00?" "I am ready for you right now big boy," Mia tried her sultriest voice. "Wow, ok, so shall we meet at the front of your hotel? You probably still have your rental car, so you can pick me up, drop me off at my car, I can show you where to drop your car off, and then I can abscond you off to my den of iniquity to ravage you." "That plan sounds very well thought out to me," smiled Mia. "See you at 4:00." The rest of the day dragged on for both, Mia worried because the 2nd and 3rd sets of interviews didn't really go much better than the 1st. David pushed the paper as fast as he could, so he could get out of there in time to catch the bus to get him downtown in time to catch the 3:00 boat. He finally finished, said his goodbyes and headed out. After his bus dropped him off downtown, he began the 15 minute walk to the ferry terminal. He was amazed at the bounce in his step and how he couldn't help but smile. The sun was shining, although it was still a bit cold, the sun really felt wonderful. He found himself smiling at the passersby and even said hello to a few. It was funny for he was really proving his theory about the chemistry of love. He walked these streets every day, in almost absolute anonymity. He had thought he could be bleeding from both eyes and no one would bat an eyelash. But give him someone to love, and the thought that someone loved him, and his body chemistry did a strange and wonderful thing. All of a sudden all the women who never even noticed him were looking at him, most smiling. This only added more bounce to his step and he almost felt like he should be whistling. Mia Mine Ch. 04 He passed a building on the walkway to the terminal that was relatively new, and had a vacant office since he had been commuting. He noticed a sign that a new donut shop was coming, and wondered to himself at their slogan about "hand forged donuts". The picture of a blacksmith pounding out donuts on an anvil was just not that appealing. He caught himself in his reverie and laughed out loud. He also had always passed by the fresh flower shop every day, but today stopped in and bought a dozen of their finest roses. He had seen people on the ferry with flowers a lot and was now happy that he had a special someone to bring flowers home to. He got on the ferry and had the longest 55 minute ride of his life. When they finally turned into the inlet, he reached for his phone, but before he could get it out of his pocket it started vibrating. He smiled and answered Mia's call. "Hello gorgeous, I was just reaching for my phone to call you." "So we are already on the same wavelength," she said. "I'm here at the front of the hotel and just saw your boat turn in to the harbor, see you in a few minutes!" "I'm already standing in line, I have been standing here at the door since the halfway point so I'll be the first one off! See you shortly." As soon as the gate was lifted, David tore up the gangway, through the terminal, through the courtyard and to the front of the hotel. There stood his vision, looking as beautiful as ever. He couldn't help it as a little gasp escaped his mouth. Mia stood in the waning sunshine, her hair sparkling in the last few rays before it set. The smile on her face could light up the entire city he thought. She looked so guardedly sexy in her business suit, partially unbuttoned blouse, and that wonderful tight skirt that hugged those hips and ass he desired so much. He realized how much of his day had spent mentally roaming her beautiful body, and how close he was now to physically doing it. Mia too was taken aback as she watched David's purposeful strides to her. She too loved his hips and legs of his, and could not wait for him to get close enough to put her arms around him, pulling him as close as she could to her, and letting her hands fall to that ass she craved. He finally made it to her, but she had to do most of the hugging, for his flowers made it a bit difficult for him to fully hug her the way he wanted. But their kiss told it all. So passionate, so warm, so sexy, so hot and so much put into it by both of them. "Hi" said David after her broke away from their kiss, a little out of breath. "Yes, Hi" cooed Mia, smiling and making him feel like he had just melted into a couple of puddles inside his boots. "Let's get going, let me in your car, and I'll take you up to where I park my car, then you can follow me to the rental drop off." "Yes sir, at your service," smiled Mia. She followed his directions up to his public lot where he parked his car. She was a little amazed at the distance, as she had passed so many other lots so much closer to the dock as they drove. When he finally said, "Here we are," she said "Why do you park so far away?" Laughing a bit David said, "Well I am a bit of a spendthrift, and this lot was the cheapest I could find. When I used to live on the other side, I used to go to a club for some cardio workouts before I went to work. Now I get my cardio workouts in all the walking, and, I save some money." "I see," said Mia with a little smile, loving the way he explained himself. "Ok, so let's move all your things into my car so it will make it easier when we drop your car off." He went to her back seat and pulled out all her luggage, briefcase, and laptop and put them all in the hatchback of his car. "Ok, follow me, it's just a few short blocks from here." They got her car dropped off, she signed all the paperwork, and then they were off. As David drove he told her of some of the sites. They came to a bridge that crossed a tidal inlet that went quite a ways inland. He pointed to the left and told her his house was over there on the hill overlooking the inlet. Mia smiled, and let her hand rest on his knee as he drove. She let her hand move up and down a bit, teasing his now tenting jeans. Not to be outdone, David did the same, but let his hand move up under her skirt, feeling her nylon clad thigh. He knew she would have her penis tucked away for work, but still tried hard to find it. He couldn't reach up high enough and keep his eyes on the road, so kept his caresses to her upper thigh for safety. They would soon be at his house, and then, all clothes would be off! "Here we are." David pushed the garage door opener, waited for it to open, then drove into the garage. After parking, he quickly opened up the hatchback and retrieved all of Mia's things, and gave her the flowers. She smiled and they walked up the stairs and into the house. "Oh my, Spartan would be an understatement for your decorating style." "Yes, I don't have much style, just the things I need. I don't get much company here." "It really is a lovely house," said Mia as she strolled through the family room and saw the small but very functional kitchen, the dining room, and the small living room with a large window overlooking the water. "Oh, you do have a little view here don't you?" "Ok, follow me, this house seems to have been built around the master bedroom, if you want to see the view, we have to go up there." "You silver tongued devil you, luring me into your bedroom already are you?" Mia teased. "Why, yes, yes I am, now up those stairs you go, let me follow and make sure that beautiful ass doesn't shake off." Mia laughed and started up the stairs, loving the feeling of his hands cupping her ass cheeks as she walked up the stairs. There was a little window by the stair landing and she gasped at the view, but he took her arm and led her into the master bedroom, opened up the French doors, and took her out onto the small deck, and she was speechless for a minute. "I can totally see why you bought this place, this view is amazing! So beautiful to look both ways up and down the inlet." "You can see the sun set behind the mountains from the bed." "There you go again, you just got me into your bedroom and now you want me on your bed! You're a bit on the pushy side I must say." With that invitation David took her by the arm again and 'pushed' her onto his bed. As she lay there giggling, he closed the French doors (as it was getting very cold now). He turned back to look at the lovely vision of beauty on his bed. He could not take his eyes off her. "Ahem, aren't you going to come join me sir? This lady is starting to feel a bit lonely here." David slid onto the bed next to her, and pulled her body to his, wrapped his arms all around her, brought her mouth to his and kissed her with everything he had. Their tongues danced together and the tension was so thick. Almost simultaneously they began to take each other's clothes off, taking little care where they ended up. Her blouse went flying one way, her bra the other. David could no longer contain himself when he had her breasts exposed and reached down first with his hands to caress one after the other, and then with his mouth. He took her hardened left nipple into his mouth, his tongue feverishly rounding and flicking the hard nub. He kept caressing her right breast with his hand, then pinched that hardened nipple between his finger and thumb, pulling it gently. Mia moaned and arched her back upwards to meet his hungry mouth and hand. He then switched, put her right nipple between his teeth, lightly bit as his tongue flicked the tip. His hand caressed, then pinched and pulled her left nipple. Mia's breathing was getting rapid and her moans getting louder. She then reached down to pull his t-shirt over his head, missing his mouth and hands on her breasts, but so wanting to feel his naked body. David leaned back a bit and helped her get his shirt off, then reached down to release the zipper on the side of her skirt. He pulled the now unzipped skirt free of her luscious hips and pulled it down over her toned, nylon clad legs. The skirt joined the growing pile of their clothes on the floor. He bent down to kiss her flat stomach, letting his tongue draw circles on her now writhing body. He reached down and pulled her panties down, she lifted her legs to help him slide them down and off. She used her feet to rub his stomach and he reached down to grab one of her feet and began kissing it, then running his kisses up her leg. He loved the feeling of the soft nylon against his skin, but loved the softness and taste of her skin even more as his kisses reached past the lacy top of her nylon. He undid the clasps of her garter and slowly slid each nylon down her legs. He then pulled the garter down, and started with her special thong she used to keep her penis between her legs during the day. Once freed of the garter, her hard penis sprung to life in front of his face. He slid the thong all the way off, and then returned his attention to her hardness. He reached with both hands to first cup her small balls, then run the entire length of her hardened shaft. Mia gasped and began thrusting her hips into his hands. As he held her penis he moved his mouth down so his tongue could lick and taste the little dollop of precum that had escaped in her excitement. "Mmmmm," he said softly, "how I have missed your taste." "Please take me in your mouth, suck me David." David needed no encouragement in that regard and opened his mouth to take her in. He marveled at how good it felt to have her hard penis in his mouth. He loved the pungent aroma of her now excited being. He began moving his head up and down letting her penis slide from tip to bottom inside his mouth. He pulled back so just the head was in his mouth and licked all around it and under the folds of her foreskin. Mia was bucking but wanted more, "I want you inside me David," she screamed. David pulled back a bit to frantically take off his pants and boxers to free his now pulsating penis. He pulled Mia's legs down so her ass rested on the foot of the bed and then spread them. He kneeled down in front of her, and began to slowly lick her puckered opening. Mia was ecstatic, moaning, groaning, and thrashing as his tongue made its way inside her, getting her lubed and ready for his long awaited entrance. When he felt she was moistened enough, he stood back up and used a bit more of his saliva to moisten his penis. Her hands were blindly reaching for him as he stepped between her widely spread, beautiful legs. He put the tip of his penis at her opening, rubbed it around for a bit. Mia screamed, "No more teasing! Put your hard cock inside me now!" David slid inside in one smooth stroke. Mia loudly sucked in a huge breath and held it as he held himself to the hilt inside her. "Fuck me, fuck me now!" Mia hissed. David pulled almost all the way out, slowly, then roughly pushed all the way in again hearing him slap against her ass cheeks. "Yes, yes, just like that!" He began pounding into her, watching her hard penis dance with each of his thrusts. As he was now sliding in and out of her easily, he moved his hands from her hips and took her penis in them. He began to stroke her, matching his strokes with his thrusts. All the thoughts of making love with her again had kept him in a semi excited state all day long, and he knew he wasn't going to last much longer. He began to pound her in earnest and his strokes on her penis began to increase with his own desires. Mia too had been in an almost constant state of arousal all day long and knew she was close to the release she had craved all day. She loved the feel of him being totally inside her, and madly thrust her hips to meet each one of his strokes. She felt her balls tighten and that lovely state of pre orgasm. Her body tingled as it bounced on the bed. She could no longer hold out and yelled "I'm CUMMING!" With that shot her first rope out into the air and it landed on her right breast. She shot again and again, and filled her tummy with her seed. This erotic site put David over the edge and he released a deep guttural moan, pushed inside Mia to the hilt and shot load after load deep inside Mia. Completely spent, he collapsed on top of Mia, and she reached her arms around him to hold him tightly to her. He could feel her cum from her breast and stomach as she held him close. "You couldn't have told me during the day that the wait would have been worth it, but it so totally was," Mia whispered. "I couldn't agree more." David held Mia close to him for quite a while, he had lifted them back to the top of the bed, to rest their heads on the pillows so they could see the stars sparkling above the mountains through the French door's windows. Mia sighed and looked at David. "I feel like I could stay like this forever." David kissed her, and agreed with her whole heartedly. Mia Mine Ch. 05 Mia and David were lying in bed, wrapped in each other's arms and the afterglow of another beautiful and passionate love making session. After a bit David said, "It has been a long day, I am hungry, are you?" "Famished," replied Mia. "Do you have something we can make here? I really don't feel like going out." "Oh yes my dear, I have something very special and would love to prepare dinner for you. Do you like salmon?" "Love it!" was Mia's reply. "Tell you what, let me go downstairs and make us some dinner, and you can take a shower while I am getting our meal ready." "Sounds like a lovely idea, I will make it quick so I can help you." And with that, Mia jumped out of the bed and headed to the master bath. After relieving herself, she opened the glass shower door and smiled. "This is a man's house right now," she said to herself. The soap and shampoo were neither something she wanted to use, so she went back out to put something on so she could go down and retrieve her bags so she could get her own soap and shampoo. Once again she was taken aback by David's thoughtfulness, for as she came out of the bathroom, there were her bags already on the bed, along with a towel and wash cloth. "Thank you for bringing my bags up," Mia shouted, "that was very thoughtful." "Any and everything for you, my love!" David shouted back over the sounds of cooking utensils being brought out. Mia showered quickly and stepped out of the shower to dry. She also quickly ran her hair dryer around her hair, but decided to put it in a ponytail so she could hurry and help David with their dinner. She wondered what to wear as she stood in front of the mirror, then noticed the huge closet that was connected to the bathroom. She walked in and turned on the light. There was David's sparsely filled clothing. She smiled again to herself, thinking what an unassuming man he was. She saw a large white dress shirt (the only one in his entire collection). She smiled again as she reached to take it off its hanger. She had always wanted to do that, wear her man's shirt, and just his shirt. She put it on and was glad the shirt tails were long enough to barely cover her penis. She rolled up the long sleeves, and left the top three buttons undone. She walked back out into the bathroom and looked at the mirror. She was quite happy with what she saw and hoped David would have as much fun with her choice as she was. She walked back out into the bedroom, found her slippers, put them on and padded downstairs to see how their dinner was doing. As she stepped into the large family room at the bottom of the stairs, she turned to walk into the open kitchen. Before her second step in that direction she heard a long low whistle. She saw David walking back into the kitchen from the back door. "Wow! You look so hot! Just like in the movies when the female star wears the male star's shirt. Only I don't recall any of those movie stars looking as ravishing as you!" Mia was surprised to feel herself blushing. "You are so sweet, and look, you are making me blush! I don't remember the last time I blushed." She walked right over to him, reached her arms up around his shoulder and neck, and planted a huge kiss on his lips. He dropped the long barbecue spatula on the floor, wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up to match her huge kiss with a huge hug. He spun her around and finally put her feet back on the floor. "Enough of this frivolity, we have work to do." "Yes chef, how may I be of service?" "I've left the salad makings on the island counter, if you are so inclined, could you make our salad?" "I would love to, but before I start, what is that mouthwatering smell?" "Oh, that is my 'secret' salmon sauce. I use it to baste the salmon while I barbeque it, and then have some extra we can use to lightly cover the finished product on our plates. Don't tell anyone but I sometimes even put some on top of my rice side dish." Mia laughed, "Both your secrets are safe with me." She made the imaginary locking her lips with the twist of the invisible key motion, and threw the key away. As David reached down to pick up the spatula he had dropped, Mia walked around the island to start preparing the salad, with all the makings David had laid out, with a beautiful, and very sharp (she found out) knife. David took some of his sauce and two beautiful looking salmon filets out the door to the back deck, where the barbeque was Mia assumed. She was glad the door was glass so she could see him out on the deck in the glow of the flood light. She was quite amazed and taken by the fluidity of his motions, how adept he was, how each motion seemed to accomplish 2 or 3 goals. She knew he had to have some sort of cooking experience to be able to move around so effortlessly. She watched as he was bending over the grill, taking careful aim with the spatula, pushing it slowly, then picking it up and flipping it over. "Wonder what that was about," she thought. Mia returned to busying herself making the salad, enjoyed the sense of working together to make their first in home dinner. She didn't notice that David was at the door watching her. He too was amazed at her grace, confidence, and how she worked with such wonderful concentration. He also loved watching her as she walked around the kitchen, especially when she bent over to look in a cabinet for something she didn't have. He got a wonderful view of that hot, tight ass and the back of her smooth ball sac. He could feel himself starting to get hard again, and smiled, at how this beautiful woman had re awakened his long dormant sex drive. Just then, he heard a flare up from the barbeque and knew that some of the butter in his sauce had dripped into the flame and flared up a bit. He walked back over to the barbeque, and got his handy spray bottle of water, and quickly extinguished the minor flare up. He used his finger to press down on the cooking salmon to test if it was done. "Not quite" he thought and began to get his serving tray ready and clean up the deck barbeque area a bit. Even though it was still winter, he loved having the wonderful deck right outside his kitchen door so he could barbeque when it was cold. He was especially happy he could make his special salmon for Mia and hoped she liked it. He gave the salmon another push with his finger and found it to be just right. He turned off the burners, turned off the gas, took the spatula and lifted the two pieces of filet carefully and laid them softly down onto the serving tray. By carrying the tray and the spatula he couldn't open the door, so he tapped lightly and looked in at Mia. She heard the tap, smiled, and quickly walked over to the door. He loved watching her walk in just his dress shirt. Her nipples, now hard, were fun to watch against the soft cotton as they jiggled along with her breasts as she walked. He also noticed the tip of her beautiful penis swinging beneath the open shirt tails. What an erotic site he thought to himself, and gave her a big smile through the glass as she opened the door and let him in. "Thanks beautiful." "You are most welcome, happy to help. Looks like you are carrying some precious cargo." David smiled and looked down for one last look at Mia's precious cargo. "Let me put this down and we can set the table and eat this wonderful dinner." Mia watched him again, moving with such purpose and grace. She didn't know where anything was so asked, "How can I help?" "The place mats are on top of the fridge. I will get the napkins and silverware. The wine is cooling in the lower drawer in the fridge, and the corkscrew is in that top drawer next to the stove." Mia went on her mission and followed directions to a "T". He reached up to the top shelf of one of the cabinets and got two nice big wine glasses and set them down in front of both place mats. He then got two dinner plates out and set them on the island. "Ok, so nothing fancy here, how about we dish up out here and then go sit at the table?" "Sounds wonderful to me," Mia said. "After you, my dear." Mia got some rice, a little salad and then looked over to David for help to get the salmon on her plate." He took the spatula and pointed down at a place on one of the filets and looked at Mia. "A little more please," said Mia. David moved his cut down a little further, cut through the moist fish, slid the spatula under the piece and expertly slid her piece onto her plate. "Take that little ladle over there and put a little of the hot sauce in the little pan on the back burner on top of your fish." Mia once again followed orders and now had her plate full. David had followed her around and filled his plate, topped off his fish (and yes, his rice) with a couple ladles full of the sauce. They both walked out to the dining room and sat together on the same side of the table, facing the window that had a view of the mountains. David lit a couple tall candles and turned off the overhead light. "This is so romantic, thank you David, I haven't felt this wonderfully happy for a very long time." "You deserve to be happy all the time my love. I can't tell you how long it has been for me to be happy, and no one has ever made me feel this good. I hope you enjoy the meal." "I certainly love the company and the mood, I am sure the food will be just as wonderful," said Mia and she leaned over to give David a kiss. They held the kiss for quite a while before David broke free and said "We should eat while it is still hot." "Yes dear," smiled Mia as she used her fork to get her first piece of salmon and slowly, tantalizingly, brought it to her mouth. She closed her lips around the fork and slid it out. The salmon almost melted in her mouth. It was cooked just perfectly. "That is by far the best salmon I have ever tasted! What are you some sort of gourmet seafood chef?" David laughed. "It is all in the way you cook the salmon my new convert. So many people ruin salmon when the say they are barbequing it. I have seen way too many people wrap it in foil and put it on the grill. To me that is sacrilege. The way to cook it on a grill, to get the charbroiled effect is to get the grill piping hot, place the salmon down on the grill skin side down. Since the grills are hot, the skin will stick to them. Cover the fish with the sauce and let it slip down and cause some flare ups. Cook it for a while like that, until the top turns a little lighter in color. Then, slide the spatula between the skin and the meat, careful to get the spatula all the way down on the skin for most of the flavor comes in that bit of grey between the skin and meat. Then turn the fish back over on top of the skin that has stuck to the grill, add more sauce, turn down the heat a bit, and let it finish. Good salmon is so flaky when cooked, so turning it back over onto the skin stops it from falling between the grills." "Now that was quite the explanation! I am impressed at your knowledge, but especially your expertise of movement while you cook. I have a feeling you didn't learn that watching the Food Channel." David laughed. "Yes I worked as a cook at a couple different fancy restaurants while I went to college so very long ago." "I am so impressed! I think you have now spoiled me. I will never be able to order salmon at a restaurant again!" "That was my intention all along. I want to have a way to make you want to stay and so I can feed you, salmon too!" David laughed and looked into Mia's eyes. He felt he could see for miles in her gaze, and loved the miles she took him in her eyes. He knew he wanted this woman in every way he could have her. Mia made groans of delight with every delicious bite and said, "My God! This is almost as good as sex... almost." "Now that is the best compliment I have ever gotten, I can't tell you how much I love to make you happy," said David as he reached his hand over to caress Mia's thigh. He so loved her soft skin, it felt like silk on his hand. He let his hand run slowly down to her kneecap, then all the way to the top of her thigh. He smiled when he looked down and saw the tip of her now hardening penis peek between the two shirt tails. He felt very pleased that his touch on her, had the same effect as her touch did on him. "That was, and this is delicious! Are you trying to seduce me with your wondrous food and loving touch?" "Am I that easy to read?" laughed David. "Yes, probably because I want you so much. I will read the story that is you forever David." With that Mia leaned over to hold David's head and kissed him with everything she had. David matched her intensity and held the kiss. Finally he broke away a bit and said, "Mmmmm, I love the taste of my salmon on your lips." "I love the taste of everything of you on my lips," purred Mia. "Now, as romantic and wonderful as this diner was, let me do the dishes while you clean up your cooking area." "Yes M'Lady." David helped carry out their plates to the kitchen. As he walked towards the back door, he turned and said, "All the cleaning supplies are under the sink." He didn't turn away, for he wanted to watch her bend over again to get out the dish washing liquid. His wait was rewarded, as once again the shirt rose as she bent over, giving him another glance at her beautiful ass. As Mia stood, she turned and saw his gaze and giggled. "You are so naughty! And I so love it!" David laughed and braved the now very cold temperature outside and cleaned the barbeque's grills, wiped it down, and put the cover back on. He walked back inside and over to Mia who was just finishing up the few dishes they had used. He stood behind her and circled his hands around her waist, pulling her ass to his groin. She wiggled her ass against him which instantly made him begin to get hard. "Someone is happy to see me," she whispered. David moved his hands down from her waist and held her now hardening penis. "Someone is happy to be seen," he whispered back, into her ear, letting his hot breath blow into her ear. This created shiver in Mia and she pushed herself even harder against his body. He bent his head over again so he could kiss her neck, which she enjoyed very much as evident in her throwing her head back and moaning. "I want you David," Mia said, "I want to be inside you, I want to take your ass again and feel you all about me." David turned her around, she looked up into his eyes, he kissed her and then said, "Yes baby, I want that very much too. I want to feel you inside me, want to feel you cum inside me while I look at your beautiful face." With that he grabbed her hand and led her upstairs to the master bedroom. He led her over to the bed, she kicked off her slippers, and he loved the fact that he only had to undo 3 buttons to lift his shirt off of her body, and that she now stood naked in front of him. He relished this view and let his eyes feast on her beautiful nude body. He turned her around, slowly and tried to inspect every lovely inch. "Do I pass inspection?" Mia cooed. "Oh my yes, I fear the inspected is far superior to the inspector." "Well, let's just see about that. Stand still and let me undress you." David did as ordered. Mia started with his sweater, lifted it up over his head. Next came the t-shirt which also was lifted up over his head. She felt his shoulders and ran her hands down his arms. Next she held his face in her hands and gave him a kiss, letting her tongue dart in and out of his mouth, playing with his tongue. Her hands dropped again, sliding down his sides to his hips, then started to undo his belt. She took the belt out of the loops and gave it a soft wave to playfully spank his butt. She dropped the belt and worked on his pants button and zipper and in no time had him stepping out of his pants. She slid down his legs to remove his shoes and socks. She kissed her way up to his boxers which had to have their elastic band lifted up and over his hard penis now standing proudly at attention. As she leaned down to slide the boxers down his legs, she made sure her lips made contact with his hardness, which created a soft moan from him. So now David too, stood naked in front of Mia. She smiled and took his hand and led him over to the bed. She pulled the pillows down and put them under his lower back and ass. She stepped back a moment to admire her work and his body. David reached for her, but Mia stepped back a bit more, "Let me do this my way lover." David dropped his hand and watched her as she walked over to her bag and removed her bottle of scented lubricant. He couldn't take his eyes away from her hard, smooth penis as it jostled against her smoothly shaved skin as she walked. It was such an erotic sight. He had never even thought this sight would make him so hot, but then he never envisioned meeting, let alone being with someone as completely beautiful and sexy as Mia. Mia opened the bottle and squeezed some of the lubricant on her hand, set the bottle down beside him, and rubbed the slippery lotion onto her fingers. She found David's little puckered opening and began lightly rubbing all around it. David moaned and instinctively opened his legs further. "That's it lover, spread those wonderful legs for Mia." He gasped a bit as she slid her first fingertip in ever so slowly. She pushed gently until she was past her first, then second knuckle. She then slowly removed it all the way back to the tip, then slid it in again, this time a little faster and harder. She smiled as she looked at his face, his eyes closed and a wonderful mixture of pleasure and wonder in his expression. She now began to thrust her finger in and out, his hips pushing to meet her thrusts. She slowly removed her finger, with a whispered "no" from David. She put two fingers together and started the whole process over again. With her other hand, she started to use the rest of the lube on her now rock hard penis. As her two fingers now moved easily inside him, she knew he was as ready as she. "Open your eyes sweet one, I want you to look into my eyes when I slide into you." David opened his eyes to view the most beautiful look on the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. The look of loving passion on Mia's face made him warm all over and his penis like stone. He felt the tip of her penis at his entrance and held his breath as she began to push it inside him. As he was still new at this, there was that little twinge of pain, not as much as the first time, and subsided much faster as well. He felt himself relax and accepted her push until she was completely inside him. What a marvelous feeling he thought. Never in his wildest fantasies had he thought he could feel so complete. Mia moved her hands to his sides, grabbed hold of him, and began thrusting herself in and out. Once again, slowly at first, but then building with intensity with each thrust. The pleasure David felt made it difficult to keep his eyes open but he wanted to see this vision of loveliness as she made love to him. Her head now thrown back and her breathing turning more into pants. "Oh God David! You feel so good. I love making love to you!" "I love the way you make love to me Mia. I love how you fill me. Oh yes, deeper! Harder!" Mia began thrusting with everything she had, pounding away inside her love. She loved watching his hard penis bounce with each thrust, and reached her hand to stroke him in time with her thrusts. He had lifted his ass off the pillows and was arching his back to meet her thrusts. She could sense he was ready to cum, and this accentuated her own excitement. "Oh David! Get ready, I am cumming! I am going to fill your sweet ass!" "Oh yes Mia! Now! I'm cumming too!" Mia saw his first shot of semen rocket out of him all the way up to his face as she felt her own first release. She held herself tightly to him as she shot load after load inside him. She saw his loads land on his stomach as she squeezed the last of hers into him. She held herself like that, inside him, until she felt her penis begin to soften and shrink. Mia Mine Ch. 05 She bent over and half kissed, half sucked the last bit of his cum off the tip of his now shriveling penis. She let her tongue work up the trail of his spent semen. First by the base of his penis, then licking her way up to his stomach. There she found the majority of it, licked it all onto her tongue, curled it for him and then took it into her mouth to swallow it. "Mmmmmm, the best of both worlds," she whispered. She let her tongue continue its journey lapping up the trail of his cum. David lay there in heaven as this lovely woman was licking and tonguing him to ecstasy. She reached the first shot that had made it all the way to his face, took all that inside her mouth and kissed him deeply. They shared his spent seed as they held the kiss. David reached his arms around her and brought her tightly to him. They lay like that, him holding her tightly as they continued the after sex kiss. Finally, Mia rolled off him to cuddle next to him, her mouth very close to his ear. She said so softly, "That was absolutely incredible my love." "For me as well Mia, you took me to places I didn't know existed. I swear I saw stars and almost passed out!" "Oh David, what a beautiful compliment. I normally am more of a 'bottom', but there is something about you, about that tight little ass of yours, that drives me absolutely crazy for you." "I second that emotion," smiled David. He reached his hand to hold the back of her head, and took off her band that held her ponytail, letting her hair fall freely around her face. He stroked her hair as if it were fine fabric or jewels. Mia loved the feeling of his hand on her hair and relaxed her body into his with a little purr. They were both quiet for a while, just enjoying the company and the afterglow. They both had put so much into that love making they could use the rest. Finally Mia broke the silence. "I'm curious, does it make you feel weird or different to have me fuck your ass, to put it bluntly? I mean do you feel your 'manhood' threatened at all?" "Funny you should ask, Mia. I gave that scenario a few seconds of thought and the answer I came up with is no. As a matter of fact loving you seems to be the most natural thing I have ever done. That you can 'fuck my ass' just adds to the mountain of pleasure it is being with you. My 'manhood' loves your 'womanhood', as you are the most complete and beautiful woman I have ever been with. So no, it does not feel weird, nor do I feel threatened." "I am so happy to hear that, I had a sense you felt that way but I really wanted to hear it from you and the way you explained it was simply wonderful. Just another thing about you that makes me love you more." "I know what you mean about the learning thing. I find that every new thing I learn about you does that same thing, makes me love you more. I still feel like I must be in a most wondrous dream, for how is it that such a captivating beauty ends up with a guy like me?" "Well, like I began to tell you before, relationships and I were like oil and water for so long. I really think I almost put the idea of meeting and being with someone out of my mind. I concentrated so much of my time and efforts into my work, I guess in a way to try to hide my inner longing." "Once again, I hear you talking but feel I am hearing myself. For different reasons I suppose, but the end result was the same." "I would love to hear some of your story, your past, if you don't mind sharing with me," said Mia. "Well, I guess, I have never really told anyone my story, so I don't really know where to begin." "At the beginning always works for me," Mia smiled. "Ok, the Readers Digest version. I was the first American born of a Norwegian immigrant father, and a Norwegian-Swedish mother. I was actually born right here in Seattle, one of the few anymore with the influx of newcomers. I guess my early childhood was pretty normal, both parents working and being brought up in daycare. My Dad's job had him traveling quite a bit and we had to move to New York, Minnesota, Northern California, then back up here. I got used to being the 'new kid' in all the schools, and became a bit of a loner. I was good at sports, so it was relatively easy to make new friends, but after the first two moves, I didn't really let myself get too close to anyone, for I knew I would just have to leave again and lose their friendship too. When I was eleven, my parents split up, which began a long, hard, and very nasty divorce and child custody battle for me and my two younger sisters. This court battle lasted from the time I was 11 until I was a senior in high school. I could have stayed with whomever I wanted, but the courts decided it was best to keep all three of us together. One parent would win custody, then the other would appeal. I was yanked out of my Mother's house 3 days before I was to start high school. So instead of going into that new journey with a lot of friends, once again, I was the new kid. It was tougher to meet new friends in high school, as most of the social groups had already been formed. So, I became pretty much more of a loner. I found music to be a release and taught myself to play bass guitar. After I felt I was good enough, I tried out for a few bands, and was selected to join one. It was a lot of fun for a while, but once I started community college, it got too hectic. I taught myself the regular guitar after that and enjoyed putting my emotions and words to songs I wrote." Mia hugged David a little tighter, and then propped herself up on one elbow to better see his face as he spoke. She also wanted him to be able to look at her face when he chose to do so. She hoped her face would show how she felt, concerned and loving. She could tell he was not very comfortable talking about himself, as his voice began to have a bit of a quiver to it. She let her hand rub his bare chest, and run up to caress his cheek. She wanted to wordlessly tell him it was ok, and she was there for him. She felt his hand at first search and then find her scrotum. He held her in his hand, not so much in a sexual way, but as if he was saying 'If I am going to show you my most private parts, I want to hold yours in my hand.' Mia didn't mind at all, and was actually quite happy that he felt comfortable enough with her to do so. Even though they had just made love just a short time ago, and she had had such an explosive orgasm, she felt herself begin to stir at his touch. She wanted to give herself to him in every way she could to help him. It was quite obvious he had never told his story like this. It was also quite evident he was leaving out a lot of detail. Hopefully, someday, when he felt more comfortable with her and started having a little more practice at talking about himself to someone who really cared, he would get better at it. She was amazed that no one had ever had him tell this to them before, but was very happy too, that she was the first. "As I said, I worked at a restaurant during my community college days. It made for very long days, but I enjoyed the English and writing classes very much. After my two years were done at community college, I went up north to a little 4 year college close to the Canadian border. I did my best there and tried to do it without working, but soon ran out of money. I tried unemployment, but they saw my work history, and knew the local yacht club was looking for a cook and sent me there. I was hired on the spot, and worked full time to try to get my money saved so I could get back to school. That never happened. I fell in love with one of the waitresses there, and actually lived with her for a few months. We had a roommate, another waitress, who was also in love with her. After I returned from a weekend visit to Seattle one time, I came home to the two of them in bed together. They invited me in and I had a young man's fantasy to be with two women at the same time. It was pretty hot and I enjoyed it very much. We shared the same bed from that moment on. But one day the waitress that I loved said she had signed up for a trip, and she took off for a trip to Greece, loved it there, and never came back. I quit the yacht club and moved back to Seattle. After a few nowhere jobs, I ended up with company I am still at today. As for my love life, I held back on that somewhat. Oh I had a few girlfriends, but with the specter of my experience with my parents' divorce, I was very careful about jumping into marriage. I finally did get married, however. She was Korean, probably still is. She had just moved over about a year before I met her, and I fell instantly in love with her. She was beautiful in a natural way. We got married and started our new life together. It was a bit difficult, as she worked as an in-flight cabin attendant for an international airline. When we met she was based right here, but soon got transferred to Honolulu. She got several breaks and flew home, and I took all my vacations with her. But soon, she got mixed up in the high life (excuse the pun), got into drugs and the high society crowd. Finally I got a phone call saying I should start the divorce proceedings, get it all handled and she would sign the papers. She of course didn't like the papers my lawyer had drawn up, hired her own, and eventually took me to the cleaners. I didn't fight that much, I didn't want to go through all that again. So, with what little money I had left, I couldn't find a house in Seattle that I could afford and not spend every waking hour trying to fix. A friend of mine in real estate told me about these new lots over here, I saw the view before the house was more than a dirt lot, and signed the offer sheet right there. So, like you, I figured relationships and I didn't mix, and threw myself into my work as well. I had my new house and love my weekends walking the beaches and going up to the mountain trails. But now, everything seems to have changed, and you are becoming the most important thing in my life very quickly." Mia kissed him deeply again. "Thank you David, I know that was not easy and I so appreciate you telling me what you did." All this time, David's hand had never left Mia's scrotum. Now his hand had ventured up and down her shaft once he felt her hardening. He turned himself over to face Mia, pushed her softly down onto her back, and began to kiss her neck. Mia sighed and closed her eyes, to enjoy whatever he had in mind. His kisses left her neck and traveled down to her breasts. He used a hand to cup them, one at a time, so he could feed each breast to his hungry mouth. He let his tongue circle them, loving the soft underside of them, and then taking each now hardened nipple into his mouth to lick and gently bite. She could tell he had some pent up emotions being let loose a little after telling his story, for his bites became a little harder. She loved it, and arched her back so she could offer her breasts more fully to his erotic attention. His bites hurt a little bit and her moans turned into an "ouch!" "Oh Mia, I am so sorry, I got lost somewhere and didn't realize what I was doing." He gently kissed each nipple, and ran his tongue all around each one as if to soothe them. Mia put her hand on his head to gently tell him everything was ok. He quickly moved down her stomach so he could kiss the tip of her penis. He lapped at the glob of precum and drank it in like a parched traveler. He could feel her hips pushing up towards him and knew she was ready and wanting. He took the entire head into his mouth, and let his tongue trace all around and under the head. Then, without warning, he thrust his head down on her, taking her entire length into his mouth in one forceful movement. She screamed out in pleasure and he began to thrust his head up and down, while keeping his mouth firmly attached to her and sucking for all he was worth. Mia's legs flayed open almost involuntarily. She bucked herself up to meet each of his downward thrusts, in a sense fucking his mouth. David reached behind her, and pushed his finger inside her ass, wiggling it around and then moving it in and out with the same rhythm of his mouth's strokes. Mia screamed "Oh My God! I'm cumming again!" With that she exploded her semen into David's waiting, wanton mouth. He was getting better at this, and began to swallow at her first shot. Each load she pumped into his mouth, he swallowed eagerly and completely. She was amazed at how explosive this second orgasm was, and then when it subsided, she felt herself fall back onto the bed, completely satisfied. She threw her arms out at her sides and said "Come up her my beautiful man and kiss your spent woman!" David crawled up to her, and she brought her arms back around him to hold him closely to her. "I'm never going to let you go." With that, they drifted off to a soothing sleep, wrapped in each other's arms. Mia Mine Ch. 06 David awoke (as usual) at around 4 AM. Ever since he had moved over here and gotten up every weekday at 3:30 to catch the 4:40 ferry, it was difficult to sleep much past that even on the weekends. He looked over at Mia, sleeping soundly. Her lovely hair spread on the pillow, framing her beautiful, peaceful face. He held back his urge to lean over and kiss her, she looked so deeply, peacefully asleep. He slipped out of bed as quietly as he could, walked softly into the bathroom, and quietly closed the door. After he had the door closed, he turned on the lights, and got ready to shower. He didn't want to start the fans, so he took a very quick shower so as not to steam up the bathroom too much. He shaved and brushed his teeth, threw on some comfortable clothes, turned out the light, and carefully and quietly opened the door. He walked past the bed, gladly noticed Mia hadn't even stirred. He once again marveled at the turn in his life that had brought him this beautiful woman, so intelligent, so sexy, so everything he had ever wanted and much, much more. He made his way quietly down the stairs and made his coffee. He was a stickler for the old method of grinding his own beans, and using a drip style filter to pour the boiling water on top of the ground coffee. Once the coffee was made, he got his ½ grapefruit and dry wheat toast, and settled in with his laptop. He checked the emails from work since he had left early, but there was nothing that couldn't wait until Monday to handle. He checked the local news and weather, and then decided to look up Mia's company online. He remembered the name from the tags on her bags, and typed it into the Bing search engine he used. He found the main website and was very impressed with the professional and elegant look of it (thinking to himself it mirrored some of Mia's qualities). He found a who's who button and clicked it, and to his shock and amazement he saw Mia's name and picture, not as the HR head, but as the founder, owner, and CEO! He was a little taken aback, and quickly read the short blurb about how Mia had started with nothing and turned the small fledgling company into an international powerhouse in its field. He closed out of the site and turned his laptop off. He really didn't know what to think. Granted they barely knew each other when Mia had told him she was head of HR, but she hadn't expounded upon it as they became so much closer. Some of his old insecurities and mistrusts began to take over his thoughts and he chided himself for 'listening to them'. He decided he should go out for a walk and clear his head. He figured Mia would probably sleep for quite a bit more and he would be home before she awoke. He left her a note in case she did awaken, to please have whatever she wished for breakfast, the coffee was hot on the stove, and that he'd be back when he cleared his head. He got on his warm coat and left through the front door, so he could keep Mia locked in. He walked in his normal long stepped gait and soon found himself at the water's edge where he loved to walk the tide line. It was always different to see what the tide had taken and what it had left. He walked up and down the beach trying to get rid of his fears. "Why wouldn't she tell me?" kept ringing in his head. He combatted this with "it never really came up, I'm sure she was planning on telling me this weekend." But then the fears would respond, "Maybe she just doesn't want you to know she is so rich and powerful, thinking you might turn into a gold digger." He once again had clearer thoughts and replied to himself "I am not a gold digger, and she has nothing to fear from me, nor do I have to fear she is keeping things from me." With that last soliloquy he turned and headed back for home. He had to trust his feelings for Mia. She had shown nothing but honesty and respect to him, so that is what he was going to believe. He unlocked the front door, and saw Mia, in his white shirt again, sitting on a stool at the island, sipping a cup of coffee and typing away on her laptop. Her beautiful, long, smooth legs hanging freely as she sat atop the stool. When she heard the door, she looked up and gave him a big smile. He relaxed and walked into the kitchen to give her a big kiss. "MMMMM good morning to you too sweet one!" Mia said. "I saw your note and was kind of disturbed that something was wrong." "I just had a couple things to work through and did it, so I am back and loving seeing you in the house, relaxed, and drinking our coffee." "I love the coffee by the way, just another one of your secrets?" "Not really," David said with a laugh, "just a bit of the old school way of making it. A step above what we called my Dad's Norwegian Cowboy coffee. He used to boil the water, pour the grounds in, and let them settle. That was some strong stuff. This is a bit tamer." Mia laughed at his description of his father's coffee, and gave him another kiss. "So, we have some things we need to talk about if you don't mind." "Not at all, please let me know what is on your mind." "I know this has all happened so fast, but I really believe we met for a reason. David, I am falling madly in love with you. I cannot even think of being apart from you." David started to say something but Mia reached over to place her finger over his lips, "Please let me finish I want to throw all my thoughts onto the table before we talk this out together." David nodded his head and motioned with a sweep of his arm to continue. "So, when I told you I was the head of the HR department for my company, it was a little bit of a fib. I am the head of all the departments, because it is my company. I own it and am CEO. I was very disturbed that my three groups of applicants for heading this branch's HR department did not give me a candidate I want. I was just in contact with some of my people in San Francisco and have put into motion me staying on up here for a while and handling the HR duties myself." David smiled from ear to ear and wanted so badly to say something or just pick her up, hug, and kiss her, but he knew she wasn't quite done so held his silence. "Now, I didn't think it was presumptuous of me to think I could stay here, you have placed many clear hints that you want me here as much as I want to be here. So, what do you think?" Now David had his opening and rushed over to her, hugged her so very tightly, and kissed her like he had never kissed before. As they broke the kiss, David loudly said, "Yes, Yes, Yes, a thousand times Yes!" "So, I guess I will take that as a yes then," giggled Mia. "You guessed correctly my dear!" "There is one condition however, that you must agree to." "OK, I agree," said David. "I haven't even told you the condition yet you goof! Ok, so your beautiful new house needs to be decorated. It is screaming for a woman's touch to turn this into the wondrous home it wants to be, and I am just the woman to do it!" "You drive a hard bargain my love, do I get any say in this decorative process?" "Of course, this will be a joint venture, we will go and pick out the things together." "Wonderful, then yes, I totally accept your condition. But I have one condition of my own." "Oh? And what might that be?" "We have to incorporate some of my framed photos, as soon as I can find the box they are in." Mia hemmed, "Well, let me take a look at them, and then we'll decide if they will fit in with my plan." They both laughed, and came together for another hug and kiss. Mia then had a bit of a concerned look on her face and said, "Now tell me, what was it that you had to get clear in your mind?" David felt a little embarrassed, but didn't want to keep anything from Mia, so he sort of stammered, "Well, I looked at your company's website this morning while I had my coffee and saw you were quite a bit more than just the head of the HR department. I started to feel those insecurities and wondered why you hadn't told me, like you were afraid I was a gold digger or something. But my walk in the cold air and being near the water cleared my mind, and made me get back to trusting you would tell me, which of course you just did." "Oh David, I am so sorry I didn't tell you sooner. When I told you I was the head of the HR Department, we had just met, and it is a protective thing I do almost without thinking. Things went so well so fast for us, I had really not even thought about my job or work until this morning, when I couldn't bear to think of leaving you." "Yes, the thought of having to say goodbye to you on Monday morning has been nagging at me. I have been trying to be in the present and not let what I thought was coming in the future bother me, but it has been very hard. I have fallen so deeply in love with you too Mia, and the thought of this house without you in it has been very disturbing. To hear you say you want to stay and become a part of my life is dizzying. I have to admit, I am not much of a shopper, I usually get tired parking the car at the parking lot, but going there with you, to decorate 'our house' sounds like another wonderful adventure to share with you." "Great David! That's exactly how I see it as well. I won't put you through the ringer and try to do it all today. I have to go shopping for some clothes too, as I only packed enough for a few days, and suddenly I have someone I want to look good for. Let me go upstairs and get dressed and we can get going. I won't hear back from most of my emails until much later, and the responses are going to be just a formality anyway. They all know me well enough now, that when I put something into action, they respond with action." "Wow, I love the authority and self-assuredness in your voice my dear! Do you mind if I come up and keep you company while you dress?" "Yes please, why don't you help me?" Mia said a bit suggestively. David bounded up the stairs, hearing Mia's laughter behind him. "You look like a little kid, running to get his candy treat." David smiled from the top of the stair landing, "Oh, I am getting a treat alright, and you are my most favorite candy!" With that, Mia took his hand and he helped her up to the landing and they walked into the bedroom arm in arm. Mia went to her suit case and started to pull things out. "We are definitely going to have to get another dresser for all my stuff." David quickly went over to his dresser and rearranged the drawers, leaving her the top two drawers. He spent so little time and money on clothes it wasn't difficult to combine all his stuff into the bottom two drawers. He went over to grab her suitcase and bring it over to the dresser to make it easier for her to unpack. "Always such the gentleman! And I do mean gentle man David. Your demeanor and the wonderful way your treat me as a woman, as your woman, means so very much to me. I know I told you a bit of how hard it was growing up locked in a man's physical body, but knowing in all senses, I was a woman. It has caused so many awful situations throughout my life, but being with you has washed all those memories out the window." With that as his encouragement, David reached over slowly and unbuttoned the three buttons Mia had buttoned on his dress shirt. He opened it up to reveal her beautiful breasts, nipples protruding proudly. He bent over to take one in his mouth, loving the feeling of her hard, excited nipple, and especially loving the moans his attention was creating from Mia. As he sucked, flicked, and playfully bit her one nipple, he let his hand roam to the top of the shirt to push it off her shoulders. She shrugged her shoulders to help, and the shirt slowly fell to the floor at her feet, leaving her completely naked in front of him. "And now for that candy treat you promised" he said as he moved his hands down to cup her sac, and run them up and down her now hardened penis. Mia moaned in pleasure, leaning her head back, feeling her hair tickling the top of her back. David now moved his head down, so he could feed her hard shaft into his mouth with his hands. As Mia felt herself enter David's masterful mouth, she let out a large gasp, and grabbed his now bobbing head. She had never been with anyone who could bring her to the beautiful edge of orgasm quicker than David. Truth be told, she got hard just looking at him, when they were both fully clothed. But his first tender, then sexually charged manner could bring her to that cliff overlooking her passion, and she could hardly wait to jump off, feeling that orgasmic relief. David sensed her body tightening, readying itself for the oncumming orgasm. He reached behind her, to first cup her ass cheek, then find the beautiful crack, and send his finger into her. As he pumped his head, he matched each pump, with his finger sliding all the way to try to hit her spot. This pleasure attack on all her senses was too much for Mia, and she came, with a yelp, a shortened scream and finally a "OH GOD DAVID! I'M CUMMING!" David removed his finger so he could put each of his hands on her luscious cheeks, to pull her now spurting penis deeply inside his mouth. His hands helped her almost automatic thrusts as she pumped her hot seed into his waiting mouth and now throat. He was getting much better at taking her load now, and enjoying the taste and sensations of her cum inside him. He felt her last push, and she held herself like that as the last few spasms shot little drops of the last of her orgasm. His hands held her cheeks, and held her tightly against him until he felt her release, and he let go of those cheeks he so loved so he could slide up and kiss this beautiful woman. Mia finally regained her composure, broke the last kiss and said, "If we are going to get anywhere shopping today, we should probably get a start. But rest assured, this wonderful interlude will be repaid tenfold when we return." "I will look forward to that very much," said David with a bit of an evil grin. "So I was thinking, we should probably go clothes shopping for you first, the furniture can wait a bit. I know of this lovely little store down in the main part of town. I walk by it every day. Two young women started it up at a time so many of the businesses in the center of town were closing down. They have beautiful clothes there, at least I think so, but I am certainly no fashion expert. I know what I like, and what I would love to see on your beautiful body. And, they donate a percentage of each sale to a very worthy cause." "Ok, so how much do they pay you for commission on all the sales you bring in with that glowing report?" Mia asked smiling. "Very funny, we don't have to go there, there is a mall at the next town north of here. I don't go there much, I am not much of a mall person." "Oh! I was only ribbing you, I loved hearing your story about the little store, and it sounds lovely, just like the stores I like to shop in. I don't really like malls much myself. And I am all for women owned businesses and try my best to support them. I would be honored to have you take me to this store." With that, they went back downstairs, got their coats, and went out to the garage and into David's car. Mia watched with a giggle how much fun he seemed to have pushing the automatic garage door opener on his visor and watching the garage door open. "Your love of the small things in life is very charming David, my dear, another thing I love about you." "Hey! After all those years of having to park outside and scrape the frost, ice, and snow off my windshield every winter morning, having a garage, with an automatic door no less, is no small thing!" "I stand corrected, but I still love watching you use that remote," said Mia with a warm smile and reaching her hand to lightly brush the side of his face. "What a beautiful morning, cold, but so clear, you can see the mountains over there, with their winter snow caps," said David pointing over to the west. "It is so beautiful here David, so many wonderful sites, and to be able to share them with you every day is just going to be heaven." "I can't even imagine my life without you in Mia, and frankly, I don't want to imagine that!" They drove the short distance to the center of town, and parked just a couple blocks away from the ferry terminal and the hotel Mia had stayed in. Mia was amazed to see free parking (for 2 hours). After parking David rushed out to open her door, take her hand, and help her out of the car. "Oh my, a girl could get used to that type of treatment." "Well you better start getting used to it, you are going to be stuck with it forever now." Mia smiled and tried to hide the little tear trying to escape the corner of her eye. She kissed him gently, holding his head in her hands. They entered the small store, and immediately a beautiful young blonde woman walked up with a gorgeous smile and said, "Hi David! Welcome back!" Mia was a bit taken back by this warm welcome, "So you are a regular here buying clothes for all your women?" The saleswoman laughed and said, "No he was here a few weeks ago to buy a dress and he was such a pleasure to deal with. He knew what he wanted, but also was gracious enough to listen to my suggestions. He ended up getting a gorgeous dress, and made a very good impression on me. First, we don't get a lot of men in here, and when we do, they don't really want to listen to suggestions very much. David's soft spoken strength and ease to deal with makes him hard to forget. My name is Cecilia by the way, very nice to meet you. Is this the sister you bought the dress for?" "No Cecilia, this is Mia, the love of my life and we need to get some clothes for her." Mia reached her hand out, "Hello Cecilia, so nice to meet you, and I agree, David is quite hard to forget isn't he?" Cecilia laughed. "So what can I show you? Before Mia could speak, David said, "There was a sort of peach top, with almost flesh tone shoulders that was in the window with a sleek, black pencil skirt, I don't see it anymore, do you still have that outfit? I would love to see Mia in it." Mia just stood there smiling at his way of trying to get the clothes he wanted to see her in, and hoped Cecilia could find them. "Let me go check, a lot times we put the replaced display items in back, I will be right back. As she walked she turned her head a bit so say to Mia, "I see you as a size 7, is that correct?" "Very good Cecilia, yes, size 7." Mia smiled at David and whispered into his ear, "I already love this place, and Cecilia is just a darling. Thank you so much for thinking of this place and bringing me here." Then she kissed his cheek and stood back, just as Cecilia appeared through the back curtains with the outfit David had requested. Mia gasped when Cecilia held the two pieces in front of her. "Oh my! Perfect! Let's get a few more outfits and I want to go try them on." David stepped back and let the ladies converse about what type of clothes, for what situations, and what colors were needed. He marveled at how quickly the two seem to have become friends. They talked and shared and laughed and giggled like old chums. It really made him smile, and gave him yet another wonderfully warm feeling about the woman he was giving all his love to. After a few minutes, they had amassed a rack full of things for Mia to try. To please David, she tried on his suggestion first, and when she stepped out of the changing room, both David and Cecilia gasped. "Wow! It never looked that good in the window!" said Cecilia. "I agree," said David, "turn around hon and give us the full Mia look." Mia spun around almost like a runway, model, and David and Cecilia both began to clap. "Stunning, absolutely stunning my love." "Oh thank you David, I just love it, and Cecilia, it fits just perfectly." Mia Mine Ch. 06 Cecilia giggled and said, "You are most welcome. Would you mind walking around close to the windows? I want any and all passersby to see how beautiful they could be if they wore our clothes. You are such a perfect model!" Mia laughed and took a spin around the store, trying to stay close to the windows. David could see she was a bit uncomfortable doing this, but appreciated her style and grace, even when she really didn't like being on display. Luckily, there weren't that many people outside and Mia strolled back to the changing area. She went in and tried on all the rest of the clothes they had picked out, and showed David each and every one of them. He was an enthusiastic supporter, loudly complimenting each of her choices. He loved that she used some of her accessories with some of the outfits. She wore her reading glasses when she came out in a very businesslike suit, and looked like the stern boss. David shouted out a "Yes Ma'am" when she came out causing them all to laugh. She next came out in a beautifully, almost tailored grey pinstripe skirt and jacket suit, with a deep pink blouse. As she turned the corner David said, "The deal is done before you even open your mouth, where do I sign?" They all had another laugh. After she had tried on everything, she told Cecilia, "I will take them all!" Cecilia squealed with delight and wheeled the rack over to the cash register. David reached for his wallet to pull out his credit card. Mia said firmly, "Oh no you don't! These are my clothes and I will buy them." "Wow! OK, but at least let me buy you the one I had wanted for you, Cecilia, you don't mind ringing that first outfit up separately do you?" replied David. Cecilia looked at Mia, who gave her smiling nod of approval, "Of course not, I will ring them both up with a 5% volume discount!" "Please Cecilia, ring them up at the listed price and send the 5% to the women's empowerment charity on your sign," said Mia. "That is very kind of you Mia, and thank you so much!" The process of ringing up, and packaging all Mia's new clothes took several minutes. David made a couple trips out to the car to load everything in while Mia paid for her portion of the purchases. "Well, thank you so much Cecilia, you have made this a very pleasurable experience. I just love your boutique and the wonderful work you are doing for women. You have certainly made us into repeat customers, you can rest assured on that!" "Oh thank you Mia, you and David are always welcome here! It is such a pleasure to help such a lovely couple," said Cecilia smiling broadly. As Mia and David walked out of the store, Mia leaned over to give David a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you so much for my outfit, and for bringing me to this store! You never cease to amaze me." "Well, you are welcome, and I hope I can continue to amaze," said David, returning her kiss. "So, where do we go to look for furniture?" Mia asked as David started up the car. "You know, I don't really have any suggestions for that, I suppose we should try heading up to the mall." Mia took out her smart phone and said, "Let me see if I can find anything on the internet." After a bit she said, "Well your plan to go to the mall area sounds like the best idea. There are several big name stores as well as quite a few smaller ones, so we should have a good chance of finding some things." Just as she was about to put her phone away, it buzzed. Mia saw she had a text from Jennifer. "Mia, please come down to the office immediately, there is something going on and you need to see for yourself, and we really need to talk NOW!" "Uh Oh," said Mia, "looks like our plans, at least mine, have changed. I have to go to the office immediately according to Jennifer. I can't imagine what is going on." "No problem," said David as he started turning the car around so they could head back to her office. "Do you mind if I come in with you?" he asked. "I insist on it, please David, I want you with me to help deal with whatever this situation is." They drove the short distance to her new offices, parked in the front, and got out. Before Mia could even get her keys out, Jennifer came flying out of the door. "My God Mia! Something is up down there at headquarters. My friend Jessie called me and said there were some very strange, closed door meetings going on with a few of the management people." "Woah, there Jennifer, hold on one second please, we will get to the bottom of this right away," said Mia as she walked inside to her office, tossing her jacket aside. "First I would like to introduce you to David, David, this is my wonderful assistant Jennifer, Jenn, this is my love, David." David reached his hand out to the lovely Jennifer, which she took and shook but held it for just a second longer than usual. She had a wonderful, and so beautiful smile, and seemed to calm down a bit from her earlier exhibition of panic. "I can see why you were so smitten Mia, he is absolutely gorgeous, and has such a wonderful, calm demeanor, I just love him already!" said Jennifer with another splendid smile. David too, was taken by Jennifer, her beauty was obvious, but he sensed such a wonderful mixture of respect and love in her. "So very nice to finally meet you Jennifer, Mia has told me wonderful things about you," "Ok, let's try to start from the beginning, Jenn, tell me what you have heard," said Mia as she sat down at her desk. "Well, Jessie had to go in today at Mr. Franklin's insistence, and she was shocked at what she saw. She said just about the entire management staff was there, in meetings with the doors of the meeting room closed and locked! One would occasionally come out and order Jessie to get some backup paperwork for them, but they didn't say why they needed it. The information ordered was both financial and organizational. Jessie is very upset. She thinks they are trying some sort of coup to try to take over your company! She was in tears when I last talked to her, you know how much she loves you and would do anything for you." Mia had found Jessie on a street corner a few years ago, begging for a job. She had been through some very rough times with both her family and her ex-boyfriend, and had ended up homeless, penniless, and without a hint of a job. Mia saw something in this damaged woman and being compassionate for those whose lives had taken a bad turn, took Jessie in, gave her an entry level job in the mail room, and let her get back on her feet. She was a very intelligent girl, and had a wonderful work ethic, and it didn't take long to realize she had so much more potential than being a mail room clerk. While she stayed with Mia, Mia helped her re hone her computer skills, and in no time she was ready to be given a promotion with a raise, to come up as one of Mia's personal assistants. Mia also helped her get her own apartment, and the two of them had many heart to heart talks about their past, and how they had the want to be the best they could be. Mia even felt comfortable enough to share being transgendered. Jessie swore herself to secrecy and told Mia she would protect her secret with her whole being. So it was easy to see why Jessie was so upset with the strange goings on at the office. Mia asked Jennifer to get Jessie back on the phone, while she started up her computer to check her email. She found one that was sent to the entire board from an email address she did not recognize. It was short and to the point. "I have some information about the owner of your company that could be very damaging to your company's image if it got out to the public. I have contacted your owner in a separate email to see if she is willing to take the steps necessary to prevent this information from being released to all the local news media." Mia was not included in the blanket email, but it was forwarded to her with a little private message just to her. "Well hello son, I guess you are probably quite surprised to hear from your dear old Dad. Yes, I found out about your name change and your rise to fame and fortune. I think it best for you to listen to my demand for 1 million dollars, to keep this knowledge quiet. Please let me know your decision right away, for I cannot keep the board guessing for too long. They have all responded and demanded to know what I am talking about." Mia read both emails out loud so both David and Jennifer could hear. There was a heavy silence in Mia's office for a few seconds, then Mia broke the silence. "How about the nerve of that old bastard?" she said. "What is he talking about, Mia?" asked Jennifer. "Well" sighed Mia looking into David's loving eyes for strength, "I am transgendered. I was born with a boy's body, but a woman in every other aspect." "What difference would that make to the company?" asked Jennifer, genuinely confused. "Well, there are probably a lot of our customers that are not quite ready to accept the owner of the software program that they use to run almost every facet of their business being transgendered," said Mia. "You aren't going to pay the bastard are you?" asked David. "I don't know what I am going to do right now," replied Mia. "Well, I am pretty sure you wouldn't want to open that door, I don't know the man other than what you told me about him, and now this, and I can say I hate the guy. I wouldn't trust him to keep his mouth closed even if you paid him. And with all the activity down at your main office, who is to say he hasn't told them already?" "I would have heard something," said Mia, "from what Jessie has told us, they seem to just be scurrying right now, trying to figure out what this all means. As for my father, no, I am not going to give him a dime." "Should we call the police, or FBI or somebody?" asked Jennifer, wanting to try to help her boss and friend. "I don't really want to do that," said Mia, "I am trying to figure out the best way to keep this as low key as possible. I know that sounds hard at this point. But something like this, especially if we bring in the authorities, can get blown way out of proportion in the media." David put his arm around Mia, "in my credit manager role, a few times I have had to use a private detective to run down low lifes, I can give him a call and see if he has any connections in San Francisco, or if he would be willing to go down there himself and find your father." "That is sweet, David, thank you, but for now, I think I have an idea as to how I want to play this out. I am pretty sure I am going to have to go back down to my main office. The board deserves to hear whatever transpires directly from me. I can just see them running around like frightened mice right now, bumping into each other and trying to look like they know what they are doing. I only trust a couple of them, for most were brought in after the company got so large I had to have help in some of the larger aspects of running an international company. I never really wanted it to get so big, for I feared something like this could crop up eventually. It sucks that once the label of 'transgendered person' gets out, the label takes on its own life, and transcends the person being labeled. My work, my ideas, and now my company will all fall under the label, and not their own merit." David and Jenifer listened intently, and admired how Mia was able to keep her calm, even at the prospect of losing everything. "Jennifer, I think I want you to try to get Marsha on the phone for me. You have her personal cell number in your file for her. I want her help with my decision. She always seems to have a wonderful grounded opinion on a lot of things, hopefully she will come through for me again." Jennifer left Mia's office to go to her desk to try to get Marsha on the phone. Marsha Stowe was Mia's lawyer from almost the very beginning of her company. Over the years she had become a very trusted, close, and dear friend. She did a lot of work in the GLT scene and knew of Mia's complete background. She was almost like a cross between a protective mother and a very best friend all rolled into one rotund, greying, loud and always cheerful package. Mia couldn't wait to talk to her, first she wanted to tell her about David, and then seek her advice about this situation with her father. As they waited, David still had his arm around Mia, and she appreciated this very much. The only other person she had felt this close, and let them get this close to her was her mother. She made a mental note to call her mother later too. She had already emailed her with the wonderful news about her new and beautiful man, but she also wanted her mother's take on the current situation. Jennifer turned and said, "Marsha is on line 1 Mia." "Hello Marsha, how are you?" "Well, Mia, I don't think the question is how I am, how are you doing? Jennifer gave me a short recap of what you are dealing with. Have you done or said anything to anyone yet?" "No, Marsha, we have just been made aware of it, and have kicked around a few ideas, but we have taken no action yet." "That's good honey, this could be a very ticklish situation that could turn into a maelstrom if we are not careful. I want to check with my favorite media advisor and sort of run a short description of the situation by her. She handles a couple of production companies, and also advises a few prominent people, and has a real way of handling how information gets "leaked" to the media." "Ok, Marsha that sounds great. I am going to try to get back to San Francisco on Monday, it probably wont be until late afternoon or early evening now. Do you think you could go to my office first thing on Monday morning and see if you can calm the board down a bit?" "No problem hon, I can go there and talk all day and say nothing to those bozos. I know I helped you hire them, and they are all good at what they do, but they don't seem to have a backbone for anything 'real'. I should be able to handle them at least until you get there." Mia frowned, "It looks like I have to go back after all." David kissed her knitted brow, "Don't worry Mia, you are not going alone. I have a lot of vacation time unused, I will call and let them know I will be gone for a while. I would not send you down to the sharks all by yourself. Not to say you couldn't handle it, but I want to be there for you in any way I can." Mia started to cry, "Thank you David, I will really need you there, by my side. I love you!" "I love you Mia." Jennifer now had a little tear welling up, "Do you want me to come down and help too?" "Thanks Jennifer, but I am going to need to have you run this office for me while I am figuring all this mess out down there." "Well, it looks like we've done as much as we can do here, why don't I take you two lovely ladies out for lunch and perhaps a cocktail or two. I, for one could use a stiff one right about now," said David with as much cheer in his voice as he could muster. "That sounds lovely to me, Jennifer, can you please come as well, we have a few things we need to talk about," said Mia, trying to sound positive. "Ok, I don't want to be in the way of you two love birds though," said Jennifer smiling. "I know a little place right on the water, why don't you follow us there Jennifer?" "Ok, let's blow this joint and get a little loose!" They left the office, Jennifer locking the door behind them after setting the alarm. They got into their cars, David careful to check the rear view mirror to make sure they didn't get away from Jennifer. "Jennifer seems like a wonderful girl, and great employee," remarked David. "Oh yes," said Mia, "she is smart as a whip and very loyal. I just love having her here, she runs a tight ship but has that remarkable quality to make it seem like fun. I also trust her implicitly." "So, are you formulating a plan to get back to your dad's request?" asked David. "Well, I think I am going to respond to his email tonight, being a little vague, telling him I am out of town and wont be back to San Francisco until Tuesday. Hopefully I can word it so softly that I can string him along thinking I am actually considering paying him." David silently nodded his head at her plan, "I am glad you aren't considering giving that bastard a nickel. God I hope I can get my hands on him." "Settle down there tiger, we don't want you getting in trouble for pounding on a low life," Mia laughed. It felt good to laugh, and once again she was thankful for David's easy going ways, and how he could make even the heaviest situations a little bit lighter. She reached her hand over to David's thigh as he drove. She lightly massaged his thigh muscle, and then let her fingers roam slowly up towards his now tenting crotch. "Careful there honey, I am trying to drive you know." "I'll be careful, but I want to feel you, I want you so badly, I can't wait to get home. This day has really affected me, and I need you inside me, I need you to not be gentle, I need you to take me, and take me hard." She lost track of what her hand was doing as she whispered the last sentence and had grabbed David's now rock hard cock and squeezed it with each mention of 'take'. For safety, Mia moved her hand back to David's knee, and rested her head on his shoulder. David pulled into the restaurant's parking lot and saw Jennifer right behind them. They parked and met at the front door. As it was only mid-afternoon by that time, the place was quiet and they seated themselves as per the instructions on the little sign at the front desk. They sat at a table that looked over the water and enjoyed the soon to be setting winter sun on the water. The waiter arrived and took their drink orders, and David ordered a calamari plate for them to nibble on. The drinks came and Mia raised her glass, "To my two favorite people, their support and love is so very much appreciated!" They all raised the glasses, and let them clink together above the middle of the table, with David adding, "To love, support, and favorite people!" and they clinked again. Not to be left out, Jennifer added, "To getting to know you both better, and for a quick and hopefully painless end to the situation at hand." That got a rousing "Here! Here!" from everyone along with a burst of laughter. They finally got to sip their drinks after the toasts were finished. "Jennifer, I wanted also to thank you for taking my transgender revelation so totally in stride. I am sorry you had to hear it in such a way, I would have much preferred to make you aware of it in a quieter, more private conversation. I was quite amazed at how you just took it in stride and kept up with all the heavy business," said Mia, with a bit of a tear in her eye. "Oh Mia, my grandparents are hippies, my parents sort of hippies, and I grew up in a situation of trying to learn and respect people for who they are, not their labels. You have been an inspiration to me from the moment I met you. Your elegant grace mixed with your super high intelligence and business savvy has helped me in my goal setting. I want to be just like you, you are my hero!" "Well, I don't quite know what to say to that, but I will say thank you. I also want to say you are your own unique and beautiful being, Jennifer, your talent list seems to be endless. I see wonderful things in store for your future, should you decided business is what you wish to do. Remember, you have a very willing mentor and supporter at you beckoning. "Thank you Mia, I really appreciate that, and I would be honored to consider you my mentor! And I do want you to know that you can count on me to do anything and everything I can to help get us through this little storm." "Hi, my name is David, and I am pretty sure I am sitting at this same table." Both Mia and Jennifer laughed, and clinked their glasses together again in David's honor. Mia Mine Ch. 06 "Sorry David, I just wanted to let Jennifer know how much I/we appreciate the way she is handling things." "I thought I was a spectator at a mutual admiration society meeting there for a while," David chuckled. "Your idea for a drink was just perfect David," said Jennifer, "I so enjoy both of your company so much! You are both so comfortable with yourselves and each other, it is so easy to just become a part of each conversation. I can tell you from experience that does not happen very often. So thank you for including me, I am having a wonderful time," said Jennifer and backed up her statement with her beautiful, radiant smile. "Yes, David, this little break was wonderful, but we have a lot to think about and a lot to do. I think we better cut this short and get home to do some planning. I have to get a flight back to San Francisco, and I want to hear what Marsha might have found out," said Mia starting to slip back into her business mode. David raised his hand to the waiter and asked for their check. "Yes, we are basically going to have to turn the kitchen into a war room." After David paid for the drinks and appetizers they walked back out to their cars, Jennifer gave Mia a big hug and told her to let her know if she wanted her help, she would be glad to come over and do anything she could. Mia hugged her back, and thanked her, telling her she may be giving her a call a little later. Jennifer then turned and gave David a big hug, whispering in his ear "please take good care of her, I know you will, but I am so worried about all this." David gave Jennifer a kiss on the cheek and told her, "I will do everything I can to take care of Mia Jennifer, please know that. And we may be seeing you later so you can help too." David opened the passenger door to let Mia in his car, then walked Jennifer over to her car and waited for her to start it up, and waived as she drove away. As he opened his door he said to Mia, "She is a very special girl, you deserve to be surrounded with people like her." Mia smiled, and bent over to give David a big kiss on the lips, sliding her tongue into his mouth to dance with his. "You know, we do have a lot of work to do, but I owe you a big release, and I think it would be good for us both for me to take care of that business first." As she spoke, she had been rubbing his crotch, feeling David becoming erect inside his jeans. "Just a little while baby, and mommy will let you out to play!" "MMMMM, hope I don't get a speeding ticket, I think I want to set a record to get home," David moaned. They did make it back home, no speeding ticket involved. David pushed his remote, Mia smiled to herself as she watched his joy to this simple thing. David parked the car, and went over to open Mia's door, took her arm, and helped her out. As she stood, he bent down to give her another big kiss, Mia kissing right back. She pressed her body into his, and she could feel herself getting hard next to his hardening cock through their clothes. "Let's go upstairs and continue this lover," cooed Mia. David held her arm and let her through the door, through the great room to the stairs. They climbed the stairs in haste and made it up to the bedroom. Mia wasted no time, and began taking off David's clothes, David tried to undress Mia, but it was a bit difficult with her bent over trying to get his jeans off. He decided to wait when she freed his now rigid cock from his boxers and took him in her hungry mouth. He just stood there enjoying her mouth and tongue caressing his hardness, as her head bobbed up and down taking his shaft all the way in, and then all the way out to just the tip. As she reached the tip, she treated herself to the drops of precum that her erotic work had created. Then, Mia stepped back and began to take off her clothes in haste, throwing them haphazardly across the bedroom floor. She laughed and said "I have never done that before, I am always little miss fold things up and put them away." David laughed too, "I think I love the new you!" As Mia finally slipped her panties off her foot, she tossed them at David's face. He caught them and rubbed them to his face, taking deep, exaggerated breaths and saying, "Oh your fragrance is driving me wild with desire. I want you, I want to take you, I want to make love and just plain fuck you senseless." With that he grabbed her arm and dragged her over to the bed, and tossed her down on her back. He reached over to the nightstand for the lubricant, and squirted a hefty load onto his hand and her puckered opening. Mia threw her head back and arched her back, "Yes, yes, please, take me, use me, make love to me and fuck me. I am yours, do what you wish." With that encouragement David finished lubing up her anal canal, and with very little foreplay, took his rock hard cock, slid it up and down her now erect penis, then slid down to her opening. Mia moaned loudly during all this. He then held the tip right at her opening, circling it with his hard tip. Mia finally screamed, "don't make me wait any longer, I can't take the teasing, just fuck me, fuck me hard right now!" David plunged his rigidness deep into Mia on his first push. Mia gasped, but put her hands on his hips and held him to her. He then pulled almost all the way out, but then pushed hard and fast to the hilt, his balls slapping the bottom of her ass cheeks. "OH GOD YES!" screamed Mia. "More, harder, deeper!" was all she could force herself to say. David started to find his rough rhythm, pounding in, pulling back, then pounding harder again. As he reached her hilt, he held it there to keep the pressure on. He could feel himself building towards his orgasm, so he reached down with his still lubricated hands and began stroking Mia's erect cock with his hands in time with his thrusts. "Tell me when you are close, I want us to cum together," David cried out. "OH David! I am so close, please do it now!" David pumped himself as hard as he could, felt his orgasm begin and held himself as deeply inside Mia as he could. He pumped furiously on her cock, and could feel her spasms begin. Just as his first jet of cum filled Mia's ass, she shot her first load straight at David's chest. He could feel her hot juices as he pumped his second load deeply inside Mia. He slowed both his thrusting and his stroking as they both started to come down from the shared orgasmic high. He felt his cock becoming flaccid and sliding out her anal canal, in his river of cum. He looked down at Mia, and she was just opening her eyes, and she saw him looking at her and she smiled. "My God, I can't begin to tell you where you took me with that one David." "I think we were very close to the same place my sweet one," purred David. "That was spectacular!" "I agree totally, come here, lay with me a bit, hold me, hold me tightly to you. I've never said this to anyone before, but I, I, I need you," stammered Mia. "Thank you Mia, I need you to, as well as want you. That was the most wonderful thing anyone has ever told me, and with such feeling, my heart knows you mean it, I love you Mia." "I love you David." David slid in with Mia, and lifted them both up to the top of the bed so they could use the pillows for their heads. He saw she wanted to be spooned, so he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her as tightly to him as he could. He could feel her luscious ass curves at his crotch, and his cock even had a bit of a stir in it. He decided to go for the full effect, so moved his hands to cup each of her wonderful breasts. He held her like this for what turned out to be a couple hours, for the next thing he knew, he opened his eyes to the early winter evening darkness. He rustled a bit, and kissed Mia's neck, then nibbled on her ear lobe. "I think we need to get up and get started with 'The Plan'," he whispered into Mia's ear. She too now stirred a bit. A bit groggily she said "ok, you are right, we better get going." They got up and David gave Mia his robe, and put on a sweat shirt and sweat pants. They went downstairs and David decided he better make some coffee, so he started that as Mia got her phone and laptop up and running. "I see I have a message from Marsha, she wants me to call as soon as possible." "Do you want to talk about it first, just you and I, to see where we are going to stand together?" "I think I want Marsha's input first, I don't have the slightest idea how to handle something like this, and at least she is in the business of weird shit like this, so I would like to know how she thinks we should handle it," said Mia, not quite at ease with what she was saying. "Ok, I understand, go ahead and give her a call, do you want a cup of coffee too? I just made some fresh." "Oh yes please! I have a feeling we are going to be in for a long night," Mia mused. Mia savored a couple sips of the fresh coffee and then dialed Marsha. David hovered around to try to hear at least Mia's side of the conversation, but most of her input was "I see" and "uh huh" and "mmm." Finally he got to hear Mia actually talk, with a "Ok, Marsha, thank you for all your work and your ideas. I want to kick this around with David and when we get to San Francisco on Monday, let's meet. Try to keep your late afternoon and evening open, and I am pretty sure we will have to meet at my office. Thanks again Marsha... for everything... yes dear, I love you too. Good-Bye." Mia looked up at David with a pained expression. "Oh David, I have done some difficult things in my life, but this seems to be growing into something I don't know I can handle." David put his arm around her, "we will face it, deal with it, and beat it, and come out with what we want. I know this, for I believe in you, I believe in all your strength and intelligence. I will also be there with you every step of the way." Mia began to tell David of all the scenarios Marsha had come up with, saving the one she thought best until last. Once David heard the last one, he jumped up and shouted, "YES! That sounds like the best plan! Go on offense, like they say in football, the best defense is to stay on offense." The plan they both agreed upon was for Mia to set up a short interview with one of the cable financial talk shows. Make a short statement of the whole truth of the situation, allow a few questions, and get up and leave, let the chips fall where they may. Marsha said she had worked up a short speech, had run it by some of her experts, and they all agreed it was the best way. Mia opened up Marsha's email to read the speech: I have just a short statement in regards to the extortion attempt instigated by my estranged father. He has demanded I pay him one million dollars or he would tell the world I am transgendered. His demand/threat was sent to me and a vaguer message to all the board members of my company. This has started some unrest amongst the board members, for they did now know what the threat entailed. I decided I would 'come out' and make the announcement myself. I have a large group of intelligent advisors, and it is their, and my opinion that my being transgendered has nothing to do with my company or how it is run. We all agreed to appeal to our customers' intelligence and common decency, that being transgendered is a private thing, and like any other minority group, one should not be discriminated against for being different. It is not an illness, or a devious danger, it is simply a state of being. I will be meeting with the board members tomorrow morning and we will all discuss the best way for our company to move past this minor bump in our road. As for the perpetrator of this attempted crime, we have turned over all the emails as evidence to the authorities, and plan to press charges. Thank you for your time and your understanding. "Well, what do you think?" asked Mia. "I like it, it is short, to the point, informative and very positive," said David giving her a hug. "I just don't know, I wish I felt a bit more confident in this approach. You know I have had to be so secretive and hide who I really am for so long, to make that statement in front of TV cameras is going to be like I that bad dream where you find yourself the only one naked in a crowded place. It is going to be like showing the whole world my penis in a sense," Mia murmured. "I can only imagine how hard this is going to be for you Mia, spending your whole life hiding who you are from almost everyone. It's not going to be like getting a dark secret off your chest and feeling better for getting it out and moving on. This could just make certain things even harder for you." And with that David reached over to hold her shoulders. "Tell you what, let's invite Jennifer over and get her opinion," proposed David. "Ok, I will give her a call, and give her your address if she can make it. It will be good to get a younger person's perspective as well, said Mia. It turned out that Jennifer did not live very far from David's house, had nothing planned, and was ecstatic about coming over and helping. Once Jennifer arrived, David gave her the nickel tour of the house, saving the upstairs and master bedroom to last. Jennifer was impressed with the house, and agreed that Mia could do wonders with the "empty" pallet as it was now. Once upstairs, Jennifer could see the view. Being still winter, the sun was long gone, but all the marina lights, and various lights up and down the channel were shining brightly and were reflecting on the relatively calm water. "This is simply incredible!" Jennifer exclaimed. "You must just love it here!" "Yes, I was and still am amazed, I always wanted to retire in a place that had a view of the water, now I already have it. Seeing the water does something wonderful to me, it calms me, makes me humble and appreciative." "Well I would have to agree it is doing its job on you, for those are all attributes I noticed in you right away. I have to confess, I was all ready to give you the 'Don't Fuck with Mia' speech when I heard you were coming. You dispelled all those thoughts immediately, and I knew you were just perfect for Mia. In just this short time I've known you, and you and Mia as a couple, I just love hanging out with you, and basking in the most wonderful vibes and auras," Jennifer said. "Well, thank you very much Jennifer, that is very kind of you to say, I have to admit I felt a real connection with you the first moment I met you as well, and was so happy Mia had such a wonderful and competent person working for her," David replied. "Ok you two, either get a room, or let's get to work," Mia kidded. They all got a good laugh at that, and Mia quickly got her notes together. "Now, this is the rough, first draft of my statement on a cable news announcement we are planning on me delivering come Monday morning. Please listen like you don't know me, and try to give your most honest appraisal for this approach." Mia cleared her throat and gave the prepared statement again, this time a little more comfortable with the content. When she finished, she put down the paper, and looked at the suddenly quiet Jennifer. Jennifer sat quietly, with a stern 'thinking about it' look on her face. It was evident she was running several ideas through her mind. She finally looked up and said "I think it is good, I just wonder if it is really necessary to mention the transgender theme at all right now. I know we all think we as a society have progressed and can look for what a person really is, and not what 'group' they 'belong to', to perceive the individual and not the 'group'. In theory I think it is great, but I fear in practice, we, as a society have a lot farther to go than we make out." "Thanks Jennifer, I appreciate your comments, for I was thinking almost the same things," said Mia, now in her stern, business mode. "The thing is, I don't trust my father at all, and I think taking his trump card away early is my best choice. I am not looking forward to this in the least. And I want to make it perfectly clear there will be no questions to be asked after my statement. I want to give it, and then leave and go straight to the office. I have to calm down the board somehow." Jennifer nodded her head, "yes, I can see that point. Of course you know I will support you whatever you say, and whatever happens. I want you to know you can count on me for anything." "You may have to deal with the media up here Jennifer, and I wanted to go over this statement and a few other things I want you to cover if they ask for an interview with the local office. I want it made plain that all media requests go through you, and no one else." "Thank you Mia, I won't let you down," said Jennifer, with a quiet tone of respect. "I know you won't Jennifer that is why I am insisting you handle all the media. I have already sent out a blanket email to the entire office up here, so you should have no problem following through." With that, Mia and Jennifer went over the plan the local office was going to take. They covered all the different scenarios they could, and Mia told Jennifer if there was a question she did not know the answer to, she should just say so, and say that all formal statements will be coming from me, at the head office. As Mia and Jennifer discussed how Jennifer was going to handle things at the local office while Mia was gone, David remembered all Mia's new clothes were still in his car and told them he was going to bring them in and take them upstairs. Mia thanked him and continued on with her discussion with Jennifer. As David brought the third load in and started up the stairs, Jennifer laughed and asked if Mia had left any clothes in the store. Mia told her of the wonderful little shop David had taken her to, how much she enjoyed it and that the saleswoman had remembered David from his purchase of a dress for his sister a few weeks ago. Jennifer got all excited and said, "Oh I just love that shop! I go there as much as I can. It was so wonderful they started that type of shop here, we needed one so badly." Mia and Jennifer finished their plan on how and what Jennifer would be handling things while Mia was back in San Francisco. "I don't know about you Jenn, but I would sure love a glass of wine right now. Can I offer you one?" "I would love that, thank you Mia," Jenn said. Mia got up and got one of the nice bottles of white wine she had seen in the refrigerator, and remembered where David kept the wine glasses and poured them all a glass. Just as she finished, David returned from putting the last of Mia's new clothes in the walk in closet off the master bedroom. "You read my mind, thank you Mia," as he reached for the glass Mia had poured him. They moved out to the great room and sat and sipped from their wine glasses. There was a bit of a lull in conversation, as all the day's happenings were beginning to catch up to all of them. Jennifer finished her glass and said, "Well, I am tired, this has been a long and stressful day. I am going to take off. Thank you both for including me in everything. I know you will handle fine, and we'll all come out of this on the bright side." "Thank you for all you've done today Jennifer, I really appreciated all your input and support. I can really leave without a worry you will run the office with a wonderful business as usual spirit. I will call you when we get into San Francisco, I got us a couple seats on a flight out tomorrow morning so we will be getting there before anyone knows we will. It will be good to have a little time to adjust before the shit hits the fan Monday morning." David and Mia walked Jennifer to the door, and with hugs for everyone, she left. David and Mia watched as she got into her car, waived, and drove off. "A remarkable girl," mused David. "That she is," replied Mia. Mia Mine Ch. 07 I want to send out my thanks to all of those who have read my stories. I especially appreciate the kind and encouraging comments, and yes, even the votes. This is a continuation of a growing relationship, so for a better understanding of some of the background I suggest starting from the first chapter and working through, as always this is the reader's choice. I especially want to thank the help and collaboration of a friend, whose advice and encouragement is monumental. Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean. —Ryunosuke Satoro > Mia was exhausted, but she had reached that 'too tired to sleep' mode, where she just tossed and turned but could not fall asleep. Even with her love sleeping soundly beside her, she just had so many thoughts and fears running through her mind. She knew they had decided she should make the announcement on television, but she was having second (well second through one hundred fifty-seven) thoughts about that plan of attack. Once she got into thinking about that, her thoughts turned even darker as she could see her angry father's face as he screamed at her the last time she had ever seen him. She hated the thought of having to deal with him again, let alone the idea of actually having to come face to face with him. She got up from bed and walked over to the French doors overlooking the small deck. She could see, once again, why David put himself through the long commute each workday to live here. Even in her mentally fried state, seeing the water, the lights flickering on the shore and their reflections was a very calming sight. She was so distracted by the scenery that she didn't notice David come up behind her. He slowly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her to him. He held her there, silently for a long while, resting his head on her shoulder and enjoying the view along with her. He finally whispered in her ear, "Do you want to talk about it?" "Thank you, but no, not right now. I want to make love with you, I want you to send me over the edge again, I need that release." Without another word David, with his arms still wrapped around her waist, walked them both back to the bed, and once there, picked her up and spun around to place her back. Mia laughed and reached to undo the tank top she was sleeping in. David reached down and pulled off her favorite flannel jammie bottoms (her words). Even in the cold weather, David wore nothing to sleep, so he was already naked and hard as he stood next to her now naked body on the bed. Mia was glad there was some moonlight filtering in through the French doors. It was so nice that the house was built high enough on the property that the other houses around could not see into the master bedroom so no curtains were needed. She loved seeing David's nakedness, his hardened penis, aching, aching for her. She felt her own penis reach a rock hard state and she slid over to the edge of the bed, spread her legs, and slid herself up to David's crotch. Mia reached and caressed David's cock and then pulled it as it stood straight up over to hers, which was also pointing skyward. She was able to grip them together, so that their length and tips were held as one. She had to lightly circle both of them to make her hand fit, but was able to gently stroke them in concert. She could not take her eyes from this totally erotic scene. Nor could David. He was mesmerized by the pleasure of watching her stroke both hardened cocks in the moonlight that filtered through the windows, it was wonderfully erotic. He finally moved his gaze to Mia's face, and was again rewarded with her intoxicating beauty, her face lit up by the moon and her intense pleasure. He had never experienced anything like this and was completely immersed in the totality of her erotic play. She used her other hand to mix their pre cum that now glistened in the light. She mixed it with her fingers and first reached it to her lips, kissed her finger, then fed the loaded finger to David, who took it completely into his mouth. Mia moaned and finally let go of their penises, reached over to the nightstand to get the bottle of lubricant, she lovingly applied it to David and her opening, and then she whispered, "Now!" David slid up to her, running his hardened tip all around her anal opening. Mia moaned louder, and he finally stopped the rubbing and slid his tip inside her, hearing her gasp. She spread her legs even wider, and he thrust himself all the way inside her. She reached around again to pull one of the oversized pillows and push it under her backside, to lift herself up to meet him and take him completely. David pushed with everything he had and felt his balls slap against her ass. She screamed in joy and wrapped her hands around his ass, holding him tightly into her. With the pillow under her, her penis seemed close enough for him to try to bend and take her into his mouth. He tried and made it on his first attempt. It wasn't easy and he didn't have much movement available, but Mia loved the sensation as evident by the sheer volume of her moans, turning to screams. "YES! YES! YES!" She screamed and he thrust in and out of her ass while keeping his mouth on the tip of her penis, able to tease the tip with his tongue. He sensed her body starting to take off, and prepared himself to capture her load in his mouth. He also felt himself ready to shoot and he thrust even harder a few more times until with a loud grunt shot his hot load deep inside her. Once she heard and felt this, Mia spewed her orgasmic juices into David's waiting mouth. He quickly collapsed next to her on the bed and stretched his back out straight. "That was amazing, but I fear I am going to pay for that in the morning." Mia giggled and lightly rubbed his back. "I'll give you a full back massage later. That was the most incredible expedience I've ever had!" "I'd say it sounds like we're up, how about me making us some coffee, and you start your shower, and I'll be back up with a cup for us both." "Sounds heavenly David, are you sure you won't mind company during your "Me Time"?" Mia saw that the clock was flashing 3:15AM. David paused at the door and looked back at her. "You are my me, so our time is Me time." David went downstairs to prepare the coffee, figuring it would be better to give Mia some time to gather the thoughts that woke her up, and had her so perplexed. He tried to imagine what she must be going through, but realized there was no way for him to begin to fathom the enormity of the situation now thrust upon her lovely shoulders. He knew she was doing pretty well, but he could also sense that there was a fine line between handling this, and going over the edge. He knew he wanted to support her in any way she needed. He too had only fitful short rests most of the night wondering about the plan of attack they had decided upon. Granted, Marsha, her lawyer, dealt with similar types of situations and had called in advisors who dealt with them on the grander stage, and that was the rub. They were mainly talking about celebrities, or sports figures, or other types of people in the public eye. A CEO, especially this one, didn't want to live her life under public scrutiny. Mia was a business woman, who kept to herself, other than her interactions with clients and her workers. This was a totally different scenario, and he was questioning the need for Mia to come out publically and make a statement. Most people wouldn't even know who she was, and until she used the buzz word, transgender, most people probably wouldn't even listen. David's train of thought was interrupted by the water boiling and he turned his attention to pouring the water through the fresh grounds in the filtered cone on top of the glass coffee pot. * * * Mia stepped into the shower, also with the same worrisome thoughts going through her mind. David's wonderful love making had taken her away from all of it, but just for a while, now she was stuck with it all bouncing around in her head again. She let herself stand, face first in the hot shower water, and let it pelt her with its soothing force. She slowly turned, and let the water beat on her shoulders and back. She finally reached for her washcloth and squeezed some of her cleansing lotion onto the cloth. Just as she was about to begin, she heard the glass door slide open and saw David stepping in with one of his knowing smiles. He took the cloth from her, and gently washed her neck, shoulders, arms, and back. It felt so good to be pampered so. David squeezed some more lotion on the cloth and bent down to wash her legs and feet, cleaning each toe and between each toe. It felt so good she had to moan. He then finished with her backside by cleaning her lovely ass cheeks and crack as good as he could. She felt his arms on her thighs as he began to turn her around. She moved with his guidance, until she faced him, her once again growing penis almost in his face. He started his cleansing by completely covering her penis with the cloth, and rubbed and washed, ever so softly. He changed his motions to long slow strokes, and once again Mia moaned, and fell back onto the shower wall. He moved the cloth to softly wash her sac with one hand while continuing the stroking with his other. He finished her lower parts and stood, without losing his grip on her hardness. He rinsed the cloth and applied more lotion and began to wash her flat stomach, and then moved up to her perky little breasts (that he loved so very much). With such wonderful attention being paid to both her breasts and her hard shaft, Mia's breath began to come in irregular pants, mixed with moans and groans. As he moved the cloth up to her neck and face, he took one of her nipples into his mouth and began to tease it with his teeth and tongue. He greatly increased his stroking of her penis, and the mix of this intensity and the attention paid to her hardened and extremely sensitive nipple, once again Mia felt like she was beginning to cum. David recognized the signs in Mia's body. He dropped down again, to take her penis in his mouth, and slide two of his lotion filled fingers inside her ass. This did the trick, flipped the switch and she was gone. Her scream filled the shower as she filled David's mouth with her second orgasm of this short morning. David rose to meet Mia's lips, and all she could muster was a whispered "thank you my sweet one." Mia took the cloth from David and began her attempt to give him the same attention, but he gave a little laugh and said, "it will be a little while longer before I am ready my love." Mia groused a little, but understood, and still gave him a very erotic washing. After their shower, and while they stood before the two sinks looking at each other in the full mirror David said softly, "You know we are using this wonderful lovemaking to postpone the inevitable conversation we need to have." Mia laughed softly. "You do read my mind don't you?" They finished their morning rituals; in between taking sips from the coffee cups David had placed by either sink. Looking at each other's reflection in the mirror, Mia smiled. "Is this what being married is like?" "Well, I suppose it is, if we were married. I never really had a relationship this close, this real, so in many ways this is as new to me as it is to you, but I have to say, even with all the crap we are going to have to deal with, I am enjoying this tremendously." Mia smiled, and let herself think about marrying David. She felt a warm and pleasant release from all that was hounding her. Mia walked in to the closet to get her bags and brought them back out. "We have a very full day ahead of us, we need to pack, get out to the airport, and get going. Can we talk while we pack?" David saw her get her bags so went and got his as well. "I think we better, I wanted to let you know, I am not so sure of our battle plan any more." "Once again, you amaze me! That was why I was awake at such an ungodly hour. I was kept awake pretty much all night worrying about that." David tried to lighten the mood a little bit. "How many days am I packing for by the way?" "I think you should pack for a week, I don't want it to take that long, but do want to be prepared." "Sounds good to me," chuckled David, "that just means I dump my dresser drawers into my bag, take all my shirts and pants, and I'm ready." Mia smiled at her fashion challenged love. "Don't even pack that much, I am going to take you shopping while we are there, you are going to need a suit if you are going to join me in some of these meetings." David rushed into the walk in closet and brought out his suit bag. "I have a suit; I even have the carryon bag they gave me when I bought it." Mia giggled at his proud display of his carry on suit bag. "I am still taking you shopping, whether you like it or not!" "Ok, so back to the point, you are not feeling good about Marsha's plan either?" Mia's face changed into her serious almost frown. "No, I'm not all that enthusiastic about it either. All my life I've been a very private person. I've had to deal with a lot of hardship, even atrocities because of who I am. I don't want the spotlight. I'm afraid the media will have a feeding frenzy and I will be pushed into becoming the spokesperson for the transgendered, at least in the Seattle area. I don't want to be a ten second sound bite on the nine o'clock news. In fact, I don't want to be the spokesperson for anything, except for my own company. And that's the real issue here isn't it? Who's going to speak for my company? Me or my father?" David nodded his head in agreement. "I totally understand your thoughts and feelings about being pushed into the limelight. While I was making coffee I remembered Jennifer's concern about the public not being ready to accept a business owner being transgendered. I find it appalling, but fear she may be right." "After we're finished packing, I am going to send Marsha an email with our change of plans. I don't want to call her right now and have her try to persuade me. I want to talk this out with you much more today," said Mia. After they finished packing, Mia went downstairs to send the email to her lawyer, and David brought down the bags and loaded them in the car. He could see how upset Mia was as he passed her while loading the car. Her face was squeezed in thought and anxiety as she typed away on her laptop. She was closing the lid, emitting a huge sigh as he returned from loading the last bag. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her, giving her a huge hug. "You're going to make it Mia, you know, no matter what happens, you are still going to be you, the woman I love." Mia's eyes watered as she gave David a thank you kiss. "You know, it is so different for me, to have someone to rely on emotionally. I have held myself back from so much for so long, it is like I have to keep pinching myself to remember all that hiding and loneliness is behind me." She finished loading up her briefcase while David got the house ready for his time away. They got into his car and started off to the airport. Mia turned his radio on and pushed the "CD" button accidently and some old, almost scratchy recording of a couple guitars and guys singing started playing. She chuckled at first, but then started to really enjoy the music. "What have I got us listening to?" she asked. David laughed a self-conscious laugh and said, "That is actually me and a friend, a long long time ago. We used to both be in bands, but after we left the bands we met up and played 'wooden music' together. We both wrote stuff and in our primitive set up recorded a bunch of it to cassette. Yes, that's how old it was, cassette. Anyway, my son found an old cassette while doing some cleaning and since he plays music and has all these new recording programs on his computer, he had the cassettes transferred to digital files, remixed them, and he cut me some CD's for Father's Day a few years back. I still enjoy playing them occasionally, although I had forgotten the disc was in my player for I have been using my i-pod more lately." "Wait a minute! You have a son! You've never told me this! And you play and write music?!?!? What else are you keeping from me you man of mystery?" Mia said with feigned anger. "Okay, okay, hold on a minute. Yes, I have a son. He's 25 and is a budding architect living in Chicago. And I suppose while I am on the hot seat I should tell you about my daughter. She is 22 and in her last year at Engineering School at the U of W." Mia was flabbergasted and sat in silence for a bit trying to regain a bit of control over her shock. "Were you going to tell me?" "Of course, I am so very proud of them both, it just never came up. Our time together is a bit of a strange thing, for in reality, we have only been together for a few days, yet I feel we have been together forever. So my life story never really came into the forefront of my thoughts. I have been so interested in learning about you and being in the present. I promise, after we get through this ordeal, I will tell you everything you want to know about the Story of David," he said with a smile. "You can bet I am going to hold you to it, Mister," said Mia once again feigning anger. "You are also going to tell me the story behind that wonderful music I heard." Once again David laughed loudly, "Yes my dear, I will unravel all the mysteries as you call them." Just as David finished his last word, the skies opened up and it began to rain so hard the windshield wipers, even on the high setting, could not keep up with the downpour enough to make for very safe driving conditions. David had to put all his concentration into trying to keep their car in their lane on the highway. The speed limit said 60 MPH, and he snuck a peek at his speedometer and saw he was only going 50. It was fast enough under these conditions, and luckily being quite early yet on a Sunday morning, there was very little traffic. Then, just as suddenly as it had started, the rain stopped. They seem to have driven out of the little squall and hit a spot in between cloudbursts. "Whew, that was a bit heavy," sighed David. "I guess a perfect beginning for our trip into the storm," mused Mia. The drive to the airport took about an hour, so as the driving got a little easier they began to discuss how things were going to go once the reached Mia's headquarters. She told them that she wouldn't be in until Monday afternoon, so that would give them the evening tonight and the morning tomorrow to finalize the plan. Mia had mentioned she wanted Marsha to meet up with them and to accompany them to the big meeting with the board. But she did want to talk to Marsha today to go over how they should address her father. She wondered if the whole thing should be turned over to the police, for with the email threat on her computer, she thought that should be enough to open a case against him for extortion. "How do you feel about turning your father in to the authorities?" asked David. "I can't say that I feel anything about him or the idea of turning him over to the police. That hatred is so old, and he has been gone from my entire life for over 30 years. I really think I am more worried about what his 'revelation' will do to my company, and to us." Mia replied honestly. "Well, I am trying to prepare myself for anything, but my main reaction when I don't understand or know how to handle a situation is complete silence, so hopefully I won't be saying anything that can be quoted and held against us." "You are worried about all this aren't you, more than you are willing to show? You know, you don't have to come with me, or be there for this foreboding circus." "I know I don't have to be there, I want to, and besides, having your almost fiancé at your side would be a positive in our favor don't you think?" Mia Mine Ch. 07 "Awfully presumptuous of you there big boy," teased Mia, "but yes, it could certainly help the whole scenario we are going to be trying to portray. By the way, you don't think I am a chicken for not wanting to be a spokesperson for transgendered people do you?" "No, not at all, that would be a life changing ordeal, that would certainly have the prospect of consuming your whole life. I know, in all honesty, I would be jealous of the time you would probably have to spend away from me. I wasn't going to mention this dark thought, but this is the city where Harvey Milk got killed for voicing his convictions. Granted, it has been many years and a lot of things have changed, but I don't want to even think of losing you. It has taken me so long to find you!" Mia smiled as she looked at David's profile as he drove. She loved how he seemed to get right to the point when they spoke. She was looking forward to hearing more about the part of his life he hadn't shared with her. Wanted to hear about his children, his rock band experience, and the acoustic music she heard on the car stereo. She knew his little hint of the fiancé thing was a heartfelt idea in him. She was so glad to hear him say it out loud, for it had been on her mind as well, so to hear him say it, made her whole body ache for him, yet at the same time be filled with that warmth and safety he seemed to be able to exude to her. "Oh! I have a surprise for you when we get into San Francisco. My mother is going to pick us up and stay with us at my condo while we are going through this. I called her last night while you were asleep and we had a great talk. I think she would be able to offer advice on how to best deal with my father, and she is excited beyond herself to meet you." "That sounds fun, meeting the mother after being together for five days!" Mia playfully slapped his shoulder, and he pretended it made him loose control and he swerved the car a bit, after checking the mirrors first, then righted it quickly. They both laughed and got back to talking about the plan. David was still very concerned about her father. He didn't trust him at all, and had a feeling that once he was told he was not going to get any money, and what he was going to get was a trip to the clinck, he would probably find a way to have his information leaked. He knew it would be a he said she said between a probably close to homeless father who deserted his family with no support, and a highly respected business owner of a very successful international business concern. Yet all this still nagged at him, for he knew some factions of the media would still press and ask questions. They would put their research divisions hard at work to dig up any and everything about both of their pasts. He was a bit worried about how this type of interference into their lives would affect them. He hated the thought of having microphones thrust at him, with video camera blasting him, and some hungry upstart newsperson asking inane and unsupported questions. It seemed these factions of the media didn't want the real story, but the story that would create the biggest splash. He mentioned all this to Mia, but by that time he was pulling into the long term parking area so they had to put that conversation on hold too. They parked and got all their stuff loaded into the shuttle to take them to the airport. It was a very short trip, and soon they were dropped off in front of their airlines entrance into SeaTac. They had both packed so efficiently, they did not need to check in any luggage so they zoomed easily through to the security checkpoint. As David had done very little traveling since the change in airport security, he still had a tough time taking off his shoes, and belt, and dropping all his pocket stuff into the little bowl. He always worried about his tablet even though they said it wouldn't be harmed. They made it through security in pretty good time, so they took the train to the North concourse where their flight was scheduled to load. Once they arrived at the gate, they were pleased to see their flight was still running on schedule, and that they would be arriving in San Francisco before one in the afternoon. They were a bit early, so they decided to walk around the concourse area for a while to stretch their legs after the hour drive and before the two hour flight. They held hands and talked like lovers do, and then they became quiet, enjoying the feeling of just being with each other. Finally, they heard the announcement that their flight was boarding and made it back over to their gate. They boarded and got into their seats. David was amazed at how flying had changed into something akin to a crowded bus ride now. It had been quite a few years since he had flown and he couldn't help being a bit excited. Even with the tough situation they were facing ahead, he still felt a bit of what he felt as a child, and found himself still looking forward to that feeling, with eyes closed, as the jet took off and became airborne. Mia looked over and could see the childlike look on David's face and smiled and reached for his hand. They sat quietly for a bit, just holding hands. Neither felt like discussing the problem that awaited them on the plane. It was quite crowded and not very conducive to heart to heart discussions. David broke the ice and told Mia of when he was a very small boy and his Aunt was a stewardess "Yes long before they became flight attendants, that's what they were called." He remembered how much fun it was when he got taken along to help pick her up when she flew in. Back in the days when families and loved ones could actually go out to the gates and see their loved one walking down the open aired roll up stairs. He remembered jumping up and down and yelling, "There she is," and how she would look up and see him waving, and wave back. He remembered how proud he was when she came running to give him a hug and then walking with him and holding his hand. He remembered how beautiful she looked in her uniform. Mia smiled at his story and tried to picture her man as a five year old excited to see his stewardess Aunt. Mia suddenly felt a little sad, sad that she had no cute little stories about her childhood. She tried hard but she couldn't come up with such a carefree moment to relay. She just remembered strife and problems, then the emptiness after her father left, and how hard it was for her mother to try to give them just the necessities, let alone a 'good' life. She was so glad now, that she was able to take care of her mother. She was a proud woman, and refused to stop teaching, but Mia finally convinced her to let her buy her house and supplement the relatively meager small college professor's salary. Mia had complained that it was the least she could do to try to repay her mother for all the hardships she had endured trying to help them survive, and to help with Mia's transformation process. Just as she finished that thought, Mia's head slumped onto David's shoulder; she closed her eyes, and actually fell asleep for the rest of the short flight. * * * David enjoyed the closeness and the trust for her to fall asleep on his shoulder. He knew it was a big step for her, and felt so good that they had become so close. He started wondering how the whole thing would transpire once they got into it. He wondered if a couple threatening emails were enough evidence to press charges against Mia's father. He wondered what meeting Mia's mother would be like. He wondered how he would be able to deal with all the events that could possibly drag him in to situations he had no experience in. He then shook his head and told himself to stop all the wondering, and to just be ready for whatever happened. They announced the descent into the San Francisco-Oakland area, which woke Mia up. She sat up and asked, "How long was I asleep?" "You slept through the entire last half of the flight. How do you feel?" "A bit groggy and confused. I don't normally take naps during the day and I feel a bit flaky right now." "Well, you are one beautiful flake, and once we get up and start moving I bet you start snapping out of it. Plus we're going to see your mother, I am looking forward to that. I have a lot of admiration for the woman who had such an important role in helping you become the wondrous woman you are." Mia smiled and kissed David. They waited for the time to get up, take their carry-ons out of the bins, and get started to deplane. They walked briskly into the airport and headed to the pickup area. As they walked through the doors, Mia spotted her mother's car right away and dropped David's hand and began to run. David followed as closely as he could, but then gave mother and daughter some space for the tearful hugs. As he stepped closer to the trunk of the car Mia finally let go of her mother, took her hand and brought her over to David, smiling broadly. "David, this wonderful woman is my mother, Christine Shaw; Mom, this is David." David liked her at first glance. She was a tiny woman, with almost birdlike frailness, but a strength that exuded from her poise, grace, and wonderful smile. He could certainly see where Mia got her beauty from, as well as the poise, grace, and that smile that melted him the first time he saw it, and ever since. David reached out to shake Christine's hand, but she moved past his hand and gave him a huge hug. David fought the urge to pick her up, she was so tiny, so he remained bent almost completely over to hug this small joyous being. She reached her face over to his and planted a very loud and exaggerated kiss on his cheek. "No handshakes for your future Mother, we hug and kiss! I am so glad to finally meet you, Mia has told me so many wonderful things about the man of her dreams." "Well, Ms. Shaw..." "Christine, please," Christine smiled as she interrupted. "Ok, Christine, I am so glad and honored to finally meet you. I have heard such wonderful things about you, I feel like I already know and love you." Christine blushed, "Oh my! Thank you David, oh Mia I can see why everything you told me about this man is true. I am so very happy for you two I could just dance!" Mia's eyes began to water as she watched her mother and her man getting to know each other. "Let's get this show on the road," she said and got into the front passenger seat. David held the driver's door open for Christine who giggled at his manners. As she sat and David closed the door, he went into the back seat. "Everyone buckled in and ready?" Christine asked. "Yes Mom, we are buckled and ready for you to get us to my condo." ***** Chapter 8, soon to follow Mia Mine Ch. 08 I want to send out my thanks to all of those who have read my stories. I especially appreciate the kind and encouraging comments, and yes, even the votes. This chapter is a continuation of a growing relationship, so for a better understanding of some of the background I suggest starting from the first chapter and working through, as always this is the reader's choice. >**** David was quite entertained in the back seat listening to Mia and her mother catching up a bit. Just the way they spoke with such openness and care, albeit a mile a minute, was enjoyable for him to hear. He sat back and let them talk, and took in the scenery as they got onto Highway 101 after they exited the airport. He hadn't been to San Francisco since the early '80's and with that long of an absence he noticed several changes. He strained as they passed the new baseball park, to get as good a look as he could. He remembered seeing the shots of the people in their boats outside the right field section, trying to catch home run balls. They started climbing up a hill heading away from the water. As the hill crested, Christine slowed a bit, then turned into a driveway leading to a gated garage under a very modern looking large condominium building. She stopped and entered the code on the extended keypad and drove inside the garage. The garage looked like a luxury and sports car showroom, a grouping of some of the most expensive cars around, some he didn't even recognize. "We're here, be it ever so humble," said Mia. "Ha! Humble my ass," quipped Christine, "I still don't understand why you have to have this big fancy condo, when you could live with me at the house." "Oh Mom," moaned Mia in jest. David was laughing at their back and forth banter. He was not sure if it was a constant thing or if it was put on for his sake. In any case, he enjoyed the way they interacted. He got out and waited at the trunk for Christine to push the unlock button. She finally found it and the trunk slowly opened up. David reached in and was able to get almost everything, leaving Mia's briefcase for her. Mia came to the trunk, wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a huge kiss on his lips, which he returned twofold. As Christine walked by she snickered and poked Mia in the ribs. "Come on you two, we are almost home, you can wait a couple more minutes can't you?" David laughed and closed the trunk and made sure the lock beeped. Mia showed the way to the elevator. As the elevator door opened almost silently, the three walked in and Mia pushed the button for ten. There must not have been any other people needing the elevator, for they made a direct shot up to the tenth floor, which was announced by a muted, but quite sexy woman's voice. As they got off, and walked down the hall, David admired the quality of everything. The carpet was a very fine and soft pile; there were beautiful small tables with fresh flowers and framed photos and paintings on the walls. There were some huge plants in large pots on the floor. Mia's door was the last one at the end of the hallway. She had a keypad lock, so she punched in her code and the door swung open for them. "Wow!" was all a wide-eyed David could say as he went through the marble entryway towards the spacious and beautifully decorated sunken living room. The entire room was almost completely windows. His attention was so focused on the view, he didn't see the two steps down to the living room. He stumbled a bit, but regained his balance and continued on. He was speechless at the wonderful view of San Francisco and the Bay in the distance. He wondered how Mia could have made such a big deal about the view from his bedroom, which in his mind, paled severely in comparison. This was a major, ten story almost 180 degree view of one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the world! In his earlier stumble, David had dropped a couple of the travel bags and Mia and Christine had taken them and were busy unpacking them in Mia's bedroom. David tried to regain his composure and carried the rest of the bags still in his hands into Mia's bedroom. But once again, he was speechless. The bedroom too was in a corner of the building so two complete walls were entirely windows, with another fantastic view. He felt a bit conspicuous with his unabashed amazement at the beauty before him. Mia and her Mother were just busying themselves with unpacking and chatting away like normal. Mia finally looked over at David, who was standing in the corner of the two windowed walls, mouth agape, drinking in the wonderful sights. She finally said, "If I didn't pay so much for pest control, I swear you'd get a fly in that wide open mouth of yours." David finally managed to tear himself away from the view, "You never told me about where you lived. This, in Seattle terms, would be like living on top of the Columbia Center. You could charge money for this view!" "I'd rather keep it to myself and the one's I love," purred Mia. "Incredible, absolutely and completely incredible! This has to be THE most elegant condo I have ever seen, let alone been inside." He spun around and took in the gorgeous marble floors, with the thick, tightly piled area carpets. The elegant, yet simple furniture looked like it had been seeds, watered and grown into place. Everything looked like an exact fit and made the surrounding pieces more beautiful. He walked out to the kitchen and just about lost his breath. Flawless granite counter tops surrounded the entire kitchen, which had a center-cooking island with a commercial style cooktop and hood. There was a circular stainless steel rack holding all the most expensive cookware he had ever seen. His mouth watered as he realized they hadn't eaten. He looked in the huge refrigerator and freezer, but it seemed Mia had removed everything that could spoil before her trip. He looked in the freezer and found a few things that might work. But there was nothing fresh, for vegetables and salad. He walked back into the bedroom where Mia and her Mom were just finishing up and heading out to the living room. "So, it looks like you got your place empty of all perishables before your trip up to Seattle," remarked David. "That I did," replied Mia, "I hate coming home to spoiled food." "So what is our schedule?" asked David. "Well, Marsha is on her way as is Jessie. We are going to meet and discuss our new thinking on how I am going to proceed." "Well, I am thinking a big batch of spaghetti is in order then. Is there a place close by that I can buy some fresh vegetables, bread and meat?" Just as David finished his question, a buzzer went off. Mia went to the door and pushed a button. "Hello?" "Hey Mia, it's me hon, can you ring me up?" Mia pushed another button and David heard the buzzing of the door unlocking in the speaker. "Mom, Marsha and I have a few things to go over, can you show David where Manny's is?" "Wonderful idea honey, I would love to accompany this wonderful man to the store," smiled Christine. David noticed how quickly Mia had found a way to give her and Marsha some alone time. He wondered a bit about her decision and what was behind this change, since earlier she had mentioned she wanted him with her throughout all the negotiating and planning. He quickly put all that aside, held out his arm to Mia's lovely mother, and said "I am at your command fair lady. It will be both a pleasure and an honor to have you accompany me to market." Christine giggled and took David's arm, and together they walked out the door to the elevator. As the door opened they passed Marsha. She flashed a huge smile and said, "You must be David, great to finally meet you! And as always Christine, a pleasure to see you again. I hope you two are not leaving." "Hello Marsha, glad to meet you as well," said David. "We haven't eaten so Christine is going to show me where the market is and I am going to make some spaghetti for us." "OH! I can't wait! Mia told me about your salmon so I am looking forward to enjoying your meal!" "We shouldn't be too long, although with this beautiful woman on my arm, I don't know if I can be held responsible for my actions," David smiled, while looking at Christine who was blushing bright red. They all said their goodbyes, Mia warning her Mother to be good and behave. David and Christine got into the elevator Marsha just exited, and pushed the Garage button. On the way down, above the soft jazz music in the elevator's sound system, David asked if the market was close enough to walk to. Christine said it was just a few blocks away. She told him how the quick rise of condos in the district didn't leave any room for the large grocery stores or the huge mega stores. The newer areas were being built with the multiuse design, where the lower floors had shopping; room enough for the larger chain grocery stores and other businesses and the upper floors were for the condos. In some of the newer ones, you'd never have to leave the building, just about everything you'd need was right in the first couple floors. "I like Mia's design though, I guess I am old fashioned, I don't think I would want to live on top of a bunch of businesses or huge grocery stores and pharmacies and banks and whatever," remarked Christine. "Well you can call me old fashioned too then Christine, because I am right there with you." They went out the door, and stepped out into the brisk late afternoon. The wind was quite strong, and made the temperature seem much colder. Christine cuddled closer to David, and he changed from offering his arm, to putting his arm around her shoulder and bringing her closer to his body heat. She was such a tiny thing he chuckled to himself that perhaps he should put her in his pocket. They walked the couple blocks and found Manny's. It was a wonderful little store with vegetables out front. The place was packed, so David told Christine to get a hand basket too. He said he thought he could fit everything he needed into the two baskets. I don't want to overdo it he thought, and have to lug a bunch of bags back to the condo. His shopping was quick, as he knew what he needed, and his inventory of Mia's cabinets gave him some idea of the spices and extras she had. He found everything he needed and was right about filling two baskets. "Do you know if Mia keeps wine on hand in her Condo?" David asked Christine. "Oh yes, they all come with a built in wine cellar type cabinet right in the kitchen." "I must have missed that," replied David. Who was quite happy they didn't have to buy and carry enough wine for six or maybe more(?) people. As they checked out and had their purchases double bagged for their walk, Christine said, "You sure know your way around a market." "Well I do have a few recipes still in my head so I know exactly what I need to prepare them. Unfortunately, I have forgotten more than I remember, so a lot of what I do is completely ad lib. Most of the time it works, cooking is a lot like life, you can't be afraid to try new ideas," David smiled. Christine was really feeling the warmth and caring from this wonderful man. She was so relieved that her baby had found someone who was so obviously and totally in love with her. As they walked, Christine told David a few of the hardships they had endured together and how proud she was of Mia at the way she had handled so much adversity. "To think, the scared little girl, that didn't want to go outside, is now the CEO of a huge, prosperous multinational enterprise. It's so incredible, and I can't tell you how proud of Mia I am." "You have done a wonderful job with Mia, Christine. I can't even begin to know how hard it must have been for you two to overcome all the adversities. I think you should save some of the pride for yourself. You have helped create a beautiful, intelligent, and very caring woman. Mia is quite lucky to have such an intelligent, understanding, and informed mother. I know many who choose to follow their transgendered path lose both parents. After meeting Mia, I have to admit to a bit of research about transgender lifestyles and what they have to endure just trying to be themselves. Amongst other things, I was amazed to see that the suicide attempt rate for transgendered people was 41%! Astounding figure, and so horrible. So, yes, Christine, you should be very proud of an extremely difficult job well done." "Thank you David, you are such a kind soul, I felt it from the very first time I hugged you. I think I have some sort of inner power that gives me a reading of how people are from the very first meeting." "Wow, not only a highly educated professor, but a witch too! You are a multi-talented force of nature Ms. Christine!" They both shared a good laugh at that as they approached Mia's condo building. Christine entered the code and they walked into the garage and towards the elevators. As they approached Christine excitedly said, "Oh! Look! It's Jessie! Hi Jessie!" "Hi Mom!" said Jessie. "David, this is Mia's right hand woman Jessie, Jessie, this is Mia's wonderful man, David." "It's great to finally meet you Jessie, Mia has told me so much about you, and I want to thank you for the way you have handled things for her the last couple days. It must have been very difficult." "Thank you David, nice to meet you too. Yes, it's been a trying couple of days here and I am so glad Mia is back. I want to do everything in my power to help her through this." "We all do and will Jessie," said David. He then looked from Jessie to Christine and said, "Mom?" They both laughed. Jessie was the first to speak. "When Mia first took me in, I got to know Christine really well and she took me under her wing too, so I just started calling her Mom!" Christine just beamed, proud of her 'adopted' daughter as well. "I tell you, Mia is so lucky to have such a loving and caring family. Your love and support for her is so evident. I can see how she is so grounded." The elevator doors suddenly opened and the three of them waited for a handsomely dressed couple to come out, nodding their hello. Christine whispered, "That was one of the City Councilmen and the owner of one of the largest construction companies here." She seemed proud of her gossip information. "Well, Mia is barking with the big dogs," said David. "That's for sure," replied Christine, with a bit of envy but also with a bit of fear evident in her tone. They arrived at Mia's floor, and got out of the elevator and walked down the beautifully adorned hallway to Mia's unit. Christine knew the keypad code to open the door, and they walked in to see Mia and Marsha hunched over a huge stack of paper on the elegant coffee table in front of the couch. They were so wrapped up in their hushed toned conversation they didn't even notice the trio's entrance. "Well, hello to you too, so good to be back!" David bellowed sarcastically. Mia immediately got up and ran to give him a kiss. "I am so sorry sweet heart. We were so engrossed in a new plan I am trying to work up. I want to tell you all about it once we get all the kinks ironed out. Oh! You found Jessie too! Jessie, so good to see you hon, c'mere and give me a big hug, I could certainly use it." Jessie ran to her friend and they hugged. "Oh Mia, I am so sorry all this shit is coming down on you." "Don't worry Jessie, we have been working on several plans and I am starting to feel a lot better about our plan of action." "Why don't you three keep working? Christine and I will start dinner; I hope you will all have worked up huge appetites after all these mental gymnastics." Mia gave David another hug and a kiss on his cheek, "You are something else, and all mine!" "Yup, and you are going to be all mine again, after you get done, right?" "All yours my sweet man." "Ok Christine....." "Would you mind calling me Mom? I would love that," smiled Christine. David laughed out loud, reached over and picked her up to give her a bear hug. "Ok Mom! Are you going to help me with dinner as these three plot to change the world as we know it?" "I would be honored Son, please, lead the way." So arm in arm 'Mom' and 'Son' walked out to the kitchen area, much to the enjoyment of the three workers. "OK, can you please start chopping the celery and onions Chri.... Mom?" "Yes dear, I will be glad to do that." "I am going to start on the meat balls." David went to work and quickly got into his semi-chef mode. He got into doing three things in one motion, a trick he learned way back when he actually cooked for a living. He got out the ground turkey and pork, mixed them together in a bowl. Then he cracked couple of eggs; one handed trying to show off for 'Mom', and mixed them with the meats, the bread crumbs, chicken stock, and a gaggle of spices. Of course there were a couple of hits of tabasco and Worcestershire just for kicks. He rolled them on a floured cookie sheet and when they were all done, threw them in the preheated oven. "You don't fry the meatballs?" Christine asked. "Yes, at the very end to get them browned, but I like to bake them first so they don't get over done." To save some time, they had bought prepared spaghetti sauce, and David opened the jars for Christine to pour them in with the rendered vegetables. Christine stirred as David worked his spice magic, much to Christine's enjoyment. "I've never seen a real chef in action. I just love how confident you are with the mixing of all those spices. It is really fun and quite educational." "Well, I am not a chef, my training was at the heels of real chefs, who actually had training in Europe. I was like a sponge and picked up as much I could." Christine smiled and gave her new son a big hug. "You must be a quick and thorough learner, it's a pleasure to watch you at work. I just love a man with confidence and skill in the kitchen." "Mom, I am sorry if I am prying, but I just have to wonder at how such an intelligent, beautiful, and open minded woman got married to such a mean and bigoted loser. I have only a few stories and his threatening email to go on, but for the life of me, I just can't see the two of you together. I know love is blind and all, but you two seem like oil and water to me." Christine's expression quickly turned thoughtful, with a little sadness. "Well, not only is love blind, but the time and place were different as well. We grew up in a small town in the Heartland. He was the star quarterback of the high school football team, and I was a cheerleader. We were prom king and queen and everyone, including ourselves just knew we would get married. He had all sorts of colleges offering scholarships and we thought we were going to be set for life. Before graduation, he asked me to marry him and of course, I said yes, and we had a lovely June wedding. During that summer though, he was working for his father's construction company and was involved in a serious jobsite accident that left his shoulder so damaged, he could barely lift his right arm, let alone throw a football. Once the college he had selected found out, they rescinded the scholarship. I helped him through recovery. He tried to get into the military, but his injury was too severe, they turned him down. Once again I tried to help him recover from this setback until he was able to go back to work for his father. My grades and extracurricular efforts had gotten me a little scholarship offer from a small, local college. I hadn't taken them up on it because I thought we would be moving to the big school that wanted him to play football for them. I reapplied and was accepted. Much to his dismay, I started school that fall, and my life started to change. I should have seen it then, but I was so caught up in trying to help him to get back to the man he had been, I couldn't see the writing on the wall. Mia Mine Ch. 08 Oh he was something back then, before the accident. He was so outgoing, boisterous and loved by all. He was the type that everyone noticed when he walked into the room, and they were glad he had. His attention was sought after and enjoyed by all. But after the accident he changed; became quiet and inward, almost sullen. We were trying to get pregnant at this time, and it wasn't working. He was convinced there had to be something wrong with me, so I went to my doctor, who sent me to a specialist, and I checked out fine. Now, you have to remember, this was the early '70's in a small town in the Midwest. We were all brought up to 'know' what was acceptable, and what was not. Our men seemed to have a deep seeded bigotry for those they didn't know. Blacks and Jewish people seemed to get the brunt, for we just didn't even know much about gays, and had never even heard of such a thing a transgender. We thought all 'those' people lived in the news from the big cities. All those types of thoughts and stereotypes were soon changed for me. I had a wonderful behavioral psychology professor who gave me some information and the desire to get more. I studied many different minority groups both racial and sexual. For the first time, I realized it was not some sort of disease or defect of character, but perhaps a genetic roll of the dice that had some people born with a different idea of what their sexuality really was. By my senior year, I became this professor's TA. I was running discussion groups and trying to open other students minds to look at those they did not understand; not as a threat, or some sort of deviant, but just different, and with as much right to be in this world as anyone. It was at this time, that Mia's father was showing more signs of depression, and even started to drink. I was beginning to wonder if we should really be together anymore. I felt I had grown, and my interest was piqued to learn so much more. I also felt he had not only stopped growing, but had started to fall. So, of course, just before I graduated summa cum laude, I learned that I was one month pregnant. Now, I had to make a very hard decision. I decided to tell him and see how he reacted before I made my final decision. I was relatively shocked when he perked up and actually smiled, picked me up in his arms and kissed me. I figured we might still have a chance. During the pregnancy I tried to have talks with him about his bigotry. I asked him if he even knew where it came from. At that time, we didn't even have any black people in our town or close proximity. There were no outwardly gay people there either. So I asked him how he could hate an entire group of people he had never been in contact with. He could never explain this to me, and I tried to keep pushing, telling him things I had learned in school and in my own research. These discussions never went well. He said he would rather keep working on our new baby's room, and would spend hours up there redoing the windows, putting in new sheet rock, rewiring, and finally painting. I thought these were all good signs and that he was really looking forward to being a father, so I let the discussions lapse. When Martin was born (that was Mia's name before the transition), everything was wonderful. He would take Martin in his arms and play with him so much. Once Martin began to smile and laugh, he was in heaven. He took Martin with him everywhere, showing off his son. He was such a proud and happy father. I thought perhaps we had turned a corner. But once Mia started to show herself, and her father thought there was 'something wrong' with his son, things took a definite turn for the worse. He wanted to take Mia to all sorts of doctors and psychiatrists to 'fix' her. I told him definitely not. His drinking returned and got even worse. He would drink with the boys after work, bring a six pack in his truck for the drive home, and then drink from our overloaded fridge until he fell into bed. He had all but stopped any contact with Mia. One night he came home extremely drunk and found Mia in the back yard playing. He tried to throw a ball to her, which she didn't catch and he went ballistic. He pushed her to the ground, and before I could get out to save her, he pulled down her pants, yanked on her penis so hard she was screaming. He told her that made her a boy, let go, turned around and came to the house. I told him I wanted him packed and out of the house in thirty minutes. He slapped the right side of my face, and then delivered a punch to my left eye, which knocked me out for a second and left me on the floor. Mia came screaming to me, I told her I was ok, but her father was leaving. I took her out to my car and drove around for an hour. When I came back to the house, I checked to make sure his truck was gone." David began to get the meatballs out of the oven, and put in the garlic bread. He put the meatballs into a hot sauté pan with hot olive oil. The meatballs sizzled as David flipped the pan to turn them over to get an even browning. "Don't let me working stop you Mom, please finish your story." "Ok, but I'm not boring you am I?" "No way Mom! I want to hear everything." "Well, then as I said, I had checked to make sure his truck was gone. It was, so we went in and packed all we could fit into my car. We drove to my folk's house which was in another state and about a six hour drive. We stayed there until I found a teaching job at the community college there and could afford our own house. My father's bigotry was almost as bad as my soon to be ex-husband's. My mother did what she could to try to calm him, but it was clear we were not welcome. Once I got my own place, I started looking for a way to get Mia the treatment she needed. Since it was a new town, and no one knew us, Mia could just be a normal preteen girl. We had long talks about how she would probably have to watch certain things. I got her a pass for PE. I started to save money as much as I could, for I had done research and found out about the hormonal and other treatments that were starting to become available to help transgendered people. It was difficult to save enough so I tried to help Mia as much as I could with everything I had been learning about transgender life. My father had just retired, and my parents had planned a road trip to the west coast to see the ocean. Neither my mom nor dad had ever done much traveling, so they were both very excited. We saw them off and they drove away so happy and carefree. It was the last time we saw them. Somewhere on Highway 61, a drunk weaved out of his lane and hit them head on. Both cars were doing about seventy and my mom and dad were killed instantly upon impact. It was very a very difficult time for Mia and me. I was devastated, and felt completely alone. We had to deal with the sadness, pain, and all the work to get their funeral set and house ready to sell. Everything seemed to come down on me at once but we made it through; and actually with their small life insurance policy plus the proceeds from the estate and house sale, we ended up with enough money to start Mia's transition process. We had enough for all the treatments, but not for the final surgery. We were told she had to wait to decide on that later anyway. Mia was finally budding into a beautiful young woman. It was still very difficult for her though. As she grew into her teen years and started noticing boys and having them notice her, we had several discussions about dating and how she should approach that experience. I told her it would probably be best to let the boy know about her before there was any sexual activity. I thought if she didn't, the surprise and or shock, could create even worse reactions than being told. Mia was worried about that however, for it was high school, and high school in a small town. News like a girl having a penis would travel like wildfire. She thought she could date and just try to keep the sexual play to a minimum. She so desperately wanted to be liked and accepted. Well, it looks like I will have to continue later." David walked over and gave Christine a big hug and a kiss on her cheek. "Thanks Mom, I really appreciate you telling me this. Your honesty and trust are gifts that I cherish. Thank You." >**** Mia, Marsha, and Jessie were finishing up their meeting, so David and Christine set the table for dinner. David poured glasses of wine for everyone and invited all to be seated. The three moved from their mini meeting room to the table, all three had compliments about the lovely aromas emanating from the kitchen. As David and Christine started bringing out the food, the three ladies being served toasted the cooks, and thanked them for what appeared to be a wonderful feast. As Christine started to sit, David held her chair for her and helped seat her. Christine blushed and thanked her new 'son' and everyone shared a warm smile. As David sat and gave the command to "dig in", Mia set down her glass and looked at her man and her mother. "Do you know how happy it makes me to see you two getting along so well?" David smiled and was the first to respond. "You are very lucky I didn't meet your mom first." Once again, Christine blushed and everyone at the table shared a hearty laugh. As they all ate, there were small conversations all around the table. David wondered why Marsha and Jessie seemed to be a bit preoccupied. His question was answered as Mia finished her meal. She looked at him and said, "Marsha still thinks I should make a statement and........." Before she could say any more David threw his fork down, crashing against the plate with a loud clank. He pushed his chair back and veritably exploded. "Mia, I thought we talked this all the way through. Excuse the expression, but I think it is time you 'grow a pair' and be confident in yourself. You don't have to explain yourself to anyone. You don't have to do anything other than respond to whatever happens with a firm 'NO COMMENT!' You are a very intelligent, successful business owner. Your 'accuser' is a runaway father, who gave you no support at all and shirked all his duties as a father. Now, he appears out of the blue, trying to extort millions of dollars from YOU! The person he left high and dry! It happens all the time. This type of attack is like a mosquito getting too close to the light. He will be his own worst enemy in trying to make his point, and will eventually crash and burn. So God damn it, stick to your guns and let the bastard stew in his own juices. Don't give any fuel to the fire he wants to start!" There was a huge silence at the table, Mia's mouth was open and she looked as if she was in a state of shock. Then, all of a sudden, she broke out in uncontrollable laughter. David was a bit shocked at his own outburst and wondered if he had crossed the line, but was so glad to hear Mia laughing, he started himself. Finally, everyone at the table, even Marsha, was laughing out loud. Marsha finally calmed down enough to say, "Well, I guess we have settled on our plan of attack. David with that conviction and volume, perhaps you could be our front man." David pulled himself back together and slid his chair back to the table. "I don't think so Marsha, I will be happy to give all the support Mia needs, but I am definitely not a front man." Mia got up from her seat and walked over to David and gave him a big kiss and hug. Then she whispered in his ear. "We have a lot to talk about. Thank you for your outburst, I needed that." Marsha said she had to leave, so while Christine and Jessie cleaned up dinner, Mia and David walked Marsha to the door. "So, we are on to meet at your office at 8:00 tomorrow morning. I will be there ready to fend off your company vultures, and we'll leave the mosquito to do what he will do." "Great Marsha, thank you for coming over tonight." Mia opened the door for her guest. "And thank you David, for the wonderful meal, and especially the pep talk! It was wonderful meeting you, and I do look forward to spending more time with you and Mia." "It was nice to meet you too Marsha, and I too look forward to getting to know you better. And oh, by the way, you witnessed my outburst for the year, so things should be a little quieter from now on." David smiled as he walked Marsha to the elevator. The door opened, she stepped in and waved, the door closed and she was gone. Mia walked over to snuggle with David, so he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closely to his side. Together they walked back into her condo, to find the kitchen almost completely cleaned. "My, you two are quick!" David was amazed at how quickly the team had turned the messy kitchen into almost spotless condition again. "Jessie and I know our way around here pretty well David, we both spend a lot of time here with Mia. I have my own room," said the proud momma. Mia continued, "And Jessie spends a lot of time in the main guest room. A lot of nights we have burned the midnight oil together to get projects done in time for the presentation, and I can't send Jessie home that late, so she just stays here and we go to the office together." "Sounds like a wonderful arrangement to me, a place for two of your most important people to be able to stay with you." David smiled and hugged Mia even tighter. Jessie did mention that she had some laundry she had to move from her washer to her dryer and since it was still quite early, thought she would go home for the evening. Mia and David walked her to the elevator and said their goodbyes. As they walked back into the condo, Christine was waiting for them at the hallway. "I have some reading I want to do, and thought I would take my shower tonight so I will be ready in the morning. I want to go with you two, to help as I can. So good night my dears." Christine gave both Mia and David good night kisses and turned and went into her room, closing the door behind her. "Thank you for being such a dear with Mom, she loves you so much already." Mia gave David another big kiss, this time pressing her body completely against him. He wrapped his arms around her and held her as tightly as he could against him. "It's really quite easy, she is such pistol and fun to be around. After all, we do share a deep love for you, so we have a lot in common." Mia finally broke the embrace, and turned towards her room. "I want to change, but I think I'll take a quick shower first. Do you want to join me?" "No hon, go ahead, I have to check my email, and then just enjoy the view. I'll be here when you're finished." Mia turned and went into her bedroom. It felt so different for her now. All this time this big, fancy condo had seemed a bit cold to her. Now, it was alive with her love and she realized for the first time since she had bought the place, she was standing in her bedroom and was actually happy! She smiled at her little realization and the man that helped create it. She quickly undressed and went into the shower. She put her shower cap on because she didn't want to have to mess with her hair. She turned on the multi-layered water jets in her custom built shower and sighed as her whole body was relaxed by the warm pulsing of the surrounding jets of water. She reached down to lather her penis. She held it for a bit and felt it begin to get hard as she thought of David in the next room. She looked down at her semi-hard penis and wondered to herself, how this little thing was creating such a huge uproar. She quickly finished washing, turned off the water, and dried herself. She put a couple dabs of David's favorite perfume on either side of her neck and then between her breasts. She thought about dressing, but decided to just put on her robe and see where the evening took them. As she passed her nightstand on the way out, she reached into the top drawer and grabbed a bottle of her scented lubricant oil and put it into her robe pocket, smiling a little to herself. She tied the full length red satin robe's belt tightly around her waist to show off her figure, and walked back out into the living room. She saw David standing at the wall of windows looking out over the city, sparkling with its night lights. He was lost in thought and just enjoying the scenery so much he didn't notice her coming up behind him. She wrapped her arms around him, once again pressing her body against him. Just the thought of finally being alone with him had brought her to a heightened state of arousal and she ground her hips to press her hardness against his ass. "I want you David, I want to take you right here, right now." Her hands swiftly moved to undo his belt and pants, which she slid down to his ankles. She pressed his hands against the window and pulled back his feet, to present that ass she wanted so badly. Before she undid her robe's belt, she took out the lubricant, then let her robe fall to the floor. She put some lubricant on her fingers and ran them up and down around his little opening. Finally, she pushed a finger in. He gasped and moved towards the window. "Relax love, I will be gentle, just go with me, be with me, let me be inside you," purred Mia. David tried to do as she suggested. He was still new to this part of the relationship, but wanted to learn how to be more receptive to her when she wanted to make the advances. He spread his feet a little further apart, and Mia started in again, with a little more of the lubricant. This time her finger slid easily all the way in, and she could bend it a bit to give his prostate a massage, much to his pleasure. She felt his body begin to relax so put in her second finger, and was able to get both fingers all the way in. She began a thrusting motion and could tell his body was now in tune with her. She lubricated her hard penis, and dropped the bottle onto her robe. She guided her now pulsing penis to his opening. She pushed slowly at first, felt a little obstruction, then he relaxed enough for her to continue. At this point she could push herself totally inside him. She loved the feeling of having her hardened penis inside him as she felt his butt cheeks on her thighs. She rubbed slowly in a circular motion and began to moan. David now had his hands resting against the window, and although his eyes were starting to glaze over he could still make out the lights of the city, although now he felt like he was seeing stars. It was such an amazingly different feeling to have the woman he loved inside him. He loved her low guttural moans, and could feel the energetic abandon that made her thrusts even more powerful. He could feel her hands holding the side of his thighs and how she pulled him and pushed him in time with her thrusts. At this point, David just gave in to all the pleasures Mia was administering, and simply enjoyed being made love to by his woman. Mia was now in a total frenzy of love and lust. She loved having her man leaning over to accept her. She loved even more hearing his moans of pleasure with each of her pounding thrusts. Now that he was totally relaxed and the lubricant was doing its job, she could release her hands from his sides and let them roam his body. She felt the muscles in his back and shoulders. She let her hands roam his sides and reach around to feel his taught stomach. She let them drop until she could feel his hardness. She held onto him with both hands and began to pound as hard as she could. She could feel her orgasm building deep inside her body. She felt her muscles tense, pushed as far inside him as she could; and held herself there as she felt her cum shooting deep inside the man she loved. Her orgasm was so intense she lost hold of his penis. They both moaned their way through Mia's fantastic orgasm. As soon as Mia could control her body again, she dropped to her knees, spun David around to face her, and took his hardened member into her mouth. She knew after all the sensations he had just been through it would not be long until her oral talents would have him shooting into her mouth. She moved her head up and down, sucking and then teasing with her tongue. She felt David put his hands on the back of her head to guide her as he began thrusting. With a mighty "OH YESSSS!" David gave Mia what she wanted, as he shot rope after rope of his seed into her waiting mouth. She drank of his nectar as if it was a magical potion, for perhaps it was. His deep breathing began to subside, and they both fell on top of her satin robe laying on the floor. They held each other tightly, looking directly into each other's eyes. Mia Mine Ch. 08 Mia was the first to speak. "I love you David, as I have never loved before. I love making love with and to you. I love being in your arms. I love how you walked into my life like you had always belonged here. I love how you love me for who I am, and who I want to grow to be. I love you David" David was trying to hold back his tears as he looked at Mia's falling down her cheeks. "Mia, I love you. I feel as if I have always been looking for you, and have only settled in the past. Now I have everything I had only dreamed what a loving relationship should be, and so much more that I had never even dreamed of. With you at my side, I feel I can do any and everything." Eventually the lovers made it into the bedroom, and fell asleep in each other's arms. >**** Mia's alarm went off at 5:00 AM, and they both stirred together. Mia reached up to kiss David softly. "Thank you so much for last night. I needed you so badly, and you gave yourself to me. That means a lot to me my love." David propped himself up on one elbow so he could look into Mia's eyes, and also returned her soft kiss. "I should thank you for last night, it was one of the most, if not THE most wonderful experiences of my life." Mia popped out of bed and announced she was going to take a shower and get herself ready. David decided he had better make some coffee. So while she showered, he figured out the wild espresso gadget she had, and made a few cups of espresso, which he kept hot on the stove in a small copper kettle he found. He wasn't much of an espresso man, even though he resided in the specialty coffee capital of the world. He quit going to those stands (on every other corner) after the owner of said coffee company sold the local NBA franchise to a man who stole the team away from Seattle and took it to Oklahoma. David missed the Sonics and would never forgive the coffee mogul. He chuckled at himself for letting his thoughts go to such a meaningless topic now, on the morning of what could be a very important catalyst into how his and Mia's lives would be changing. He heard the water turn off in the shower, so he brought Mia a little cup of the brew he had made and gave it to her as she stood before her mirror. As he set the cup down by her, she let her bath towel fall to the floor. She smiled at his stare, for he was still in awe of her beauty. He reached over and gave her a kiss, long slow, eyes closed kiss. "Good morning beautiful," he said, and handed her the cup of coffee he had brought. "Thank you kind sir, for taking such wonderful care of your Lady," Mia teased. David bowed and backed away, letting Mia get to her hair drying, and make up. He knew she wanted to present her very best for the awaiting wolves. As she worked on getting ready, he took his shower, came out and dried himself off, brushed his teeth and shaved, all before Mia was finished. "Not fair," she said smiling. "What can I say? I'm fast." "Well having no hair gives you quite a head start," Mia quipped. "Hey, I have hair, it's just so short I can dry it with a towel and not worry about the style." "Ok, Ok, you've made your point, but a girl has to look her best in this world, even when she owns the company. It is so different for a woman, you will never know. And then throw in me being transgendered, and well, I do what I can." David noticed Mia was wearing one of the outfits she had purchased at the little store he had taken her to back home. She looked smashing in the tight grey skirt that showed off her wonderful hips and ass. She picked a beautiful, almost fluorescent pink satin top, with the top three buttons undone showing just a hint of her beautiful cleavage. This was topped off by a striking black jacket that although was "off the rack" look tailored to her. David couldn't take his eyes off her. "You look beautiful Mia, with or without the hairstyle and makeup. With it though and with that gorgeous outfit, I have to say you are stunning, a real head turner. I have a feeling your 'wolves' will be at bay before you even begin to speak to them." "We'll see wont we? I may just have a couple of surprises up my sleeve, for them and for you. I want to get to the office very early and set up in the conference room. I want to make sure I am the first one there. I want to look at each board member as they arrive. I want to see if they hold my gaze or look away. I want to see how they arrive, in unison or separately. All these things will help me make my decision as to which way I want to take the meeting. I am a very good reader of body language; a skill I have been forced to hone to protect myself and my company." "Ok my dear, surprises even for me? I wonder what those might be. So, if you want to be there early we should probably get moving." Mia walked out of the bedroom and down the hall to her mother's room. David followed behind her, loving the view. She knocked on the door, "Mom, are you ready?" "Coming dear," was the response from behind the door. Christine came out dressed in a tailored blue business suit, and looked wonderful. David had to tell her, much to her glee. They all went out to the kitchen to have one last cup of coffee. There was going to be a breakfast spread in the conference room, Jessie was in charge of that so they didn't have to think about breakfast. They went to the garage, but as David headed for the car, Mia said, "No, let's walk today. It'll only take about ten minutes and the fresh air will do me good." David offered both mother and daughter an arm, "I feel like the luckiest man alive to have two such gorgeous ladies on my arms. I bet I'll be receiving quite a few jealous looks." Once the trio arrived at Mia's office suite, she guided them into her office. Jessie had beat them there, she must have gotten there very early, for out in the foyer there was already a spread of food, and coffee made and in insulated pitchers. They all said their hellos. Jessie helped Mia with her jacket, as David helped Christine. After everyone's coat was hung in the closet in Mia's spacious office she asked them all to take a seat in front of her desk. It was strange for Mia to sit in her office chair and see her lover and mother on the other side of her desk. "I just wanted to warn you two, I sent my father an email late last night telling him there is no way in hell I am paying him a dime for any reason." David fidgeted in his chair. "I thought you had given yourself to late this afternoon with him." "Yes, but I wanted to see his reaction, and if he would follow through with his threat." Mia's attention now switched over to one of the huge flat screen monitors on her desk as she typed away. "Well, I see he has sent another blanket email to all the board members, stating I am a fraud. I am really a man. It also looks like he has cc'd several news outlets here in San Francisco." "So the meeting will be quite serious from the start," said David Mia frowned, and put her reading glasses down on her desk. "I didn't want to wait, I wanted to get this show on the road, and see how my 'loyal board members' will handle themselves. I am going to go into the meeting room now, like I said, I want to watch them enter. Also, Marsha should be here soon, I want her at my side." David was getting concerned now as to what role he was to take. He wondered how this would all transpire now that the proverbial cat was out of the bag. He thought he was going to be at Mia's side during the meeting, but that seemed to have changed. He remembered Mia's statement about having some surprises, and he wondered if he was going into the meeting room at all. "I want you to stay in my office with my mother for a bit, if you don't mind David. I think the beginning of the meeting is going to get a bit rough, and I don't want to create any more tension by having non board members sitting in on the meeting." David nodded, he did understand. He could tell she wanted him there, but could understand her point of having company people only in the meeting. Having others in the room might mean some of what her board members were thinking would not be put into words at the table. He felt a little left out, sitting there in his suit, all dressed up and nowhere to go. As Mia got up from her desk, she walked over to him and gave him a big kiss on the mouth. "Wish me luck my dear." "I will wish you luck, but you don't need luck, you need the strength of your convictions, and I've seen you in that mode before, and see it in your eyes now. I have all the confidence in the world in you, you are ready to kick ass and take names my love." David gave her a big hug after his little pre-game speech. As Mia walked out, David looked over at Christine and smiled. "It looks like it's you and me again Christine." "Yes, I do understand her point though, we could be a distraction in there. And you've already forgot? It's mom to you, ok?" "Ok, Mom, maybe we could use this time for you to finish your story about how the Mia we know and love came to be." Christine smiled as she gave David a loving look. "You really want to know everything about her don't you?" "Yes, I do, and I want to hear it from the source" smiled David. ~ As Mia turned to go into the meeting room, she saw Marsha getting off the elevator. "Good timing Marsha, there is food over there in the foyer, and I am going to get myself set up in the meeting room." "Thanks Mia, I think I'll just grab a cup of coffee and be right in, did your father respond to your email?" "Yep, I'll fill you in when you get in here." Marsha got her coffee, rearranged her briefcase and backpack, and went to sit next to Mia. She let out a big sigh as she sat and dropped her load. "God, I feel like a bag lady carrying all this crap." "All that 'crap' is my future there Marsha, perhaps a little more respect could be shown?" "Ok Mia, get it, you're already in the fight zone, I will gear up here in a minute and catch up with you." Mia laughed, Marsha always had a way about her that gave her a bit of the mad scientist approach to lawyering. She could seemingly be absent minded, but in fact was sharp as a tack, so anyone who thought they could easily get the better of her, had a rude awakening coming their way. "So he sent another blanket email, calling me a fraud, and that I am really a man. He also cc'd a few news outlets here." Marsh nodded and with a bit of a pained expression said, "Well we kind of expected that. Are you still sure of the 'No Comment' approach?" "Yes, let's go as we planned and try to ride this thing out." Marsha finished her coffee and began to sort out her paperwork into three piles. They had worked out three different plans. The one to be chosen would depend on many things, but mostly on the behavior of the board. Mia saw a couple of the board members come out of the elevator and start towards the meeting room, only to turn abruptly when they saw her sitting there. "Hmmmm, I bet they had were going to get here early and have their own meeting, hold on, I'm going to buzz Jessie in here." Jessie came in immediately after Mia's intercom signal. "Jessie, does that morning front desk security guard still have the hots for you?" Jessie turned beet red. "Yes, he is really nice about it, but very persistent." "Can you text him?" "Yes, I have his cell number." "Text him and have him try to let you know as each board member arrives, and if any of them arrive together." "Done Mia." Jessie held her phone up. "Now, go out to the front, and text me what the guard texts you, and let me know where they go when they get up here." "You got it Mia!" So far Mia had only seen William "Billy" Burke, the US Marketing Manager and Seth Weisbaum, CFO. As Mia and Marsha finished getting all the paperwork in place, Jessie's texts began to arrive. The texts began to come in quite quickly. Nathan Nokamura, Chief Creative Officer, had come in next, and by himself. Jorgen Klempt, International Marketing Manager was next, soon followed by Alicia Murray, Chief Diversity Officer. The next two board members came in together, Erik Jorgenson, Chief Technology Officer, and Barbara Smythe, Chief Information Officer. Mia smiled when she got the next text announcing the hurried arrival of her Chief Operations Officer, Harmony Flemming. She was Mia's 'rabbit', always late, late for a very important date. Harmony was the only board member Mia could count on for support. She was a single mother of two beautiful children and always seemed to have at least five pots boiling on the stove at one time. Harmony was the only board member to come right into the meeting room. She smiled when she saw Mia, and came up to give Mia a hug. "I am so sorry about all this crap. The rest of the board seems to be having conniptions. How are you holding up?" "Thanks Harmony, I knew I could count on you for support, and I am doing fine thanks." "You always have my support Mia. I shudder to think where I might be if you hadn't given me the chance you did. I know it was against all the other's advice, but you stood by me, and I want to stand by you." Mia had Harmony sit next to her, and as she sat down noticed the rest of the board was starting to file in. Per her plan, she tried to smile and make eye contact with each one. It was pretty clear that Billy and Seth were the ring leaders. After an initial attempt to have their stares bore a hole through Mia, they both dropped their eyes, wore frowns, and sat without looking up. Jorgen and Barbara followed next, they too couldn't or wouldn't hold Mia's gaze, and appeared to be not quite as comfortable in being in the attack mode as Billy and Seth. Nathan, Erik, and Alicia all held Mia's gaze, and even returned her smile. They did look very uncomfortable but not as adversarial as the other four. As they found their chairs and sat Mia felt like it was very possible for her to have a majority in her favor. Mia stood and addressed the Board. "I would like to thank you all for making time to be here today. I realize it is under strange conditions, but I want to assure all of you, I have spent a lot of time and thought on the matter at hand, and have come up with four possible solutions. First, however, I want to stress my position, and the company's position against these unfounded claims. Our answer to any question concerning this is 'No Comment.' I see no reason to give these claims any more attention than they are worth. Anyone who wishes to deviate from this policy is welcome to, but afterwards I will expect to see your letter of resignation on my desk." This created quite a stir, as Billy was the first to speak. "Mia we can't just sit back and not defend ourselves." The other three on his side nodded their approval of his statement. "Yes we can Billy, and we will. We do not have to defend ourselves at all. Our company policy is quite clear, our people are hired because of their merit. Race, religion, and sexual preference do not come into play in our decisions." Nathan, Erik, Alicia, and Harmony all smiled and nodded their heads to Mia's first rebuttal. The meeting went on with Billy and Seth making most of the complaints. They were very concerned that an undefended accusation of this sort could do major damage to the company's stature both in the US and especially internationally. They went on and on about having to deal with phone calls from customers and the bank, not to mention lower tier managers from all over the globe. Mia was amazed how fast the news had traveled, but stood firm in her decision. "As any of you are welcome, anyone in the company is welcome, and any customers are welcome to leave. I do not want anyone uncomfortable with me or the way I .decide to handle this problem to feel they have to stay at DuoNet Tech. As a matter of fact, we could probably put up a new page on our website, celebrating all those who have decided to leave. Since they are worried as to how the world will see this problem, let it be known, that they have decided to not be a part of this company any longer. That would be a relatively easy task to put on our site, right Erik?" "Right Mia, it would just take a few minutes to set that up." Mia smiled at her IT manager, glad he was so quick to answer, and seemed to already be having fun with the idea. That little quip was met with a lot of grunts and harrumphs. Mia smiled as she waited for the little exhibition to quiet back down. "Ok, Ok, let's get down to the brass tacks here. Billy it looks like you are the lead man for my 'opposition', why don't you give us all your ideas, concerns, and solutions. Mia sat down, and gave Billy the floor. He stood, straitened his tie, looked around the room and cleared his throat. Mia thought to herself, "at least he didn't cross his arms in his little battery of nonverbal pauses." "Mia, we are all very concerned about the accusation being made that you are really a man. This is a very uncomfortable situation for all of us. I can understand, somewhat, your decision to try to keep it quiet with your 'No Comment' approach, but it is my opinion, and the opinion of several other board members, that in today's instant information society, the one not responding to accusations, is usually guilty of those accusations, at least in the public eye. The media does not respond well to 'No Comment' and usually has a field day with the situation." Mia jumped to her feet, knocking her chair over. "I'm going to stop you right there Billy. GUILTY of the accusation? GUILTY?!?!?!? So if I am transgendered, I would be thrown in jail? What fucking planet are you from Billy?" Mia jerked her chair in place, sat back down and tried to compose herself after her outburst. Marsha patted her hand and whispered, "Easy there tiger." Billy was visibly shaken by Mia's outburst, but tried his best to at least pretend to be calm. "Of course not Mia, I shouldn't have used the word guilty, and of course it is not a crime. My point was by not defending yourself, the public will think the accusations are true." Mia interrupted again. "Do you think they are true Billy? Have you not treated me as a woman the entire time you have worked for me? And by the way, I am interested to hear, what if the accusations are true. What major difference would it mean to you personally, all of you on this board personally, and as a company? Tell me, are we going to implode and just stop doing business?" Billy cleared his throat again. "Of course not Mia, but we're pretty sure there will be major ramifications. We will have to see how the customer base reacts. I really expect to lose a lot of business over this, so we may have to make cuts appropriate to the loss of revenue." Mia was fuming, and biting her tongue to keep herself from telling Billy she would love for him to be the first 'appropriate' cut. Marsha could sense Mia's rage and held her arm, tightly to try to show her to keep it within her for now. Actually it was Harmony who stood up to defend Mia. "I don't see where any of this amounts to a hill of beans. Like Mia said, DuoNet Tech has a no discrimination hiring policy, so that should go all the way to the top. Now I don't know anything about who is transgendered or not, and frankly I don't care. This company runs like clockwork thanks to the wonderful groundwork Mia put into place. I say she has her right to her privacy and dignity. The accusations are totally unwarranted and without merit. Besides, the accuser is trying to extort money from her for God's sake. What does that tell you about the moral fiber of the accuser? I don't think Mia knows for sure it really is her father. I stand with Mia, and totally agree with her approach." Mia Mine Ch. 08 Everyone, even Mia was quite shocked to hear such a pointed argument from Harmony. She was usually so quiet and reserved. She kept herself busy and did remarkable work, but rarely voiced any type of personal opinion. As Harmony sat back down, a little unsettled at her outburst herself, Mia rose. "Thank you Harmony, I appreciate your wonderful statement. It is refreshing to hear an argument that makes sense." "All right, I see we have been in here for over a couple hours. I for one, want to break for lunch and get outside for some fresh air. It's 11:45, why don't we all get back here by one, I will put out my proposals at that time, and if any of you have a proposal, I would love to hear it." No one said a word, and Mia got up and walked out of the room without looking back. She went to her office, to find David listening intently to her mother. Christine stopped talking as soon as Mia entered. "How did it go in the war room honey?" David looked concerned, as he could see the stress and tension in Mia's face. "It wasn't the best, but certainly not the worst. I wish my opposition had voiced their opinion a little more clearly. It seemed I was supposed to read between the lines. And no one offered a plan of action, only a plan of reaction. Very frustrating." David walked over to hug her, and could feel her body was still tense, she couldn't relax in his hug like she usually did. "So what is the agenda?" "We are taking a break until one. Will you take a walk with me, I need both the fresh air and to be with someone I trust?" David walked over to the closet to get their coats. He figured his action would be enough to answer her request. "Mom, will you hang with Jessie until I get back? I really want to be alone, alone with David." "Of course dear, I am sure Jessie could use some help with the food set up out there. You two go and try to get away from this for a bit." "Thanks Mom," Mia and David said in unison, and laughed. David walked Mia out of the office, her arm in his. He could feel the board members' stares as they walked by the food tables in the foyer. He kept his gaze straight ahead, figuring there would be a time and place for his involvement with them. As the elevator doors closed Mia finally said, "I have to tell you, I was so close telling them all to shove it. Close the whole thing down and walk away. You know I never really wanted it to get this big. I loved my original concept and the little company we had. Then it all seemed to take off like crazy. We couldn't keep up with the demand. I hired Marsha, and with her help, set up the Corporation. She knew some head hunters and they filled all the board positions. I really didn't want anything to do with it. I'm a nerd. I love working with computers, code, and all the internal things. I hated the whole board set up, but Marsh was right, an international company had to have the correct structure to function. I just felt so close to telling them all I am transgendered. And if that threatens the company, they can buy me out. With that money and what I could sell my condo for, we'd be set for the rest of our lives up at your place." David could sense she was close to tears, and held her tightly as he let her try to put some of the thoughts that had been spinning in her head into words. "You know, I would love that solution too Mia, but we both work. We are workers. I don't think it would be long and you'd be climbing the walls looking to come up with some new coding for a new program. You'd miss the few wonderful people who work for you. I love you, and will love to be with you wherever you decide. I have to say I love the part about us being up North, I am just not a city guy. The view is great and all, but as a visit. I go a bit slower than all of this." Mia smiled, "I know that David, and you know after being up there for that short time, I could see myself getting very comfortable in that lifestyle. But you are also right about us being workers. I will let you in on one of the secrets I was working on. I think I am going to go with this one, and I wanted to run it by you. Marsha has all the paperwork prepared for me to take just the original part of the company, and sell the rest to the board. I would make offers to all those that I know want to work with me to help them relocate, and run the business from the office up there." "I do love your secrets!" David stopped and kissed her, as they stood in the middle of the noontime sidewalk. People grunting displeasure in having to walk around the silly people kissing in the middle of a busy walkway. Mia broke away and said, "We should probably start heading back. I would like you and mom to come in to the meeting when we return. I could use the extra support." "We'll be right at your side, I can't wait to see their faces when you tell them your decision." As they neared the entry to her building, Mia heard a voice say "Hello Martin." She continued walking until she heard, "I said hello Martin, it's me, your father." Mia stopped in her tracks, spun around towards the voice with fire in her eyes. Mia Mine Ch. 09 I want to send out my thanks to all of those who have read my stories. I especially appreciate the kind and encouraging comments, and yes, even the votes. This chapter is a continuation of a growing relationship, so for a better understanding of some of the background I suggest starting from the first chapter and working through, as always this is the reader's choice. >**** Mia had spun around so fast when she had heard her father's voice she almost yanked David to the ground as they were walking arm and arm before the intrusion. David quickly regained his balance and realized what was about to happen, and stepped between Mia and her father. Mia was pulling back her arm to give a full arm's swing slap across her father's face. David slid in between them to make sure nothing like that could happen. No need to aggravate the already messy situation with a few cell phone videos of Mia slapping some poor, disheveled street person showing up all over the social media. "My name is Mia, Martin has not existed for many many years." Mia took out her cell phone and punched in a speed dial number. "Hi Jessie, can you send some building security men out by the front door? My father decided to accost us out here." Mia turned and faced her father again, her face still filled with rage. "I know, sorry Mia, I just wanted to get your attention." "Well you certainly have strange ways of seeking my attention. An extortion attempt, sending that email to my board members and the news media, and now accosting me at my place of business are not the best ways to get my attention." "Once again, I'm sorry Mia, but I figured you wouldn't give me the time of day if I asked to see you." Mia looked at the man claiming to be her father realizing he was probably right about that. It had been over 30 years since she had last seen him so it was hard for her to recognize the person standing before her. He was dirty, unshaven, smelled of both body odor and booze. His eyes were red and droopy. His posture was bent, his skin color a pasty white, barely visible under an almost complete covering of dirt. Even with so many years of hating this man, she couldn't help to feel sorry for him. "So what is it that you really want then?" Mia demanded. "I am dying Mia, the doctor at the free clinic told me I had probably less than six months to live. I wanted to find you and be able to see you, and to apologize. That's all I wanted." Mia didn't know what to say. She was overcome with so many emotions, mixed and conflicting. It is so hard when you think you know how you think and feel about someone, and in an instant your perception is completely changed. The strong handsome man that had terrorized her and her mother, and then walked out on them never offering any support, was gone. In his place was this pathetic homeless man telling her he will be dead in six months and that he was "sorry." "It's okay guys, he is my father and will come in with us, sorry about the mix-up." Mia had to apologize to the security guards that had come down on her order. She turned and faced her dad again, "Are you hungry?" "I don't have much of an appetite anymore, but I could sure use a cup of coffee and maybe a half of a sandwich." "Come into the building with us, I have to finish my meeting, but my fiancé David will show you where the food and coffee is. He can set you up in my office." The three entered the DuoNet Tech building and rode the elevator in silence. Mia took David's hand and gave it a squeeze. She whispered "Keep him busy at the food table for a few minutes, I have to go alert Mom about him being here." With that and a short kiss to his cheek Mia rushed off towards her office. During their walk together, Mia had run her final decision by David. He also had an important question for her. He was still in euphoric state celebrating her decisions when they were surprised by her father. Now, he had to buckle down to help the man he so fiercely wanted to punch in the nose. "Mr. Shaw, the food is over this way," said David as he walked towards what remained of the setup Jessie had overseen. "It's Phillips." "Excuse me?" "My name, its Phillips. Christine changed their names after the divorce and the move to try to make it harder for me to have any contact." "I see, ok Mr. Phillips, you said you wanted some coffee? The pot is still on the warmer and it looks like there's some left. How do you like it?" David was doing his best to try to be nice or at least civil to this person who had created so much pain, hatred, and now problems for his love. "Black is just fine, thanks, I think I will put a little of this lunchmeat on some bread and try to keep it all down. I am having trouble with that these days." David watched as Mia's dad's hands trembled tremendously, making it really difficult to watch the poor soul try to make a little sandwich. He wanted to ask if he could help, but could tell his help with this was not wanted. David helped him over to a little table that had a chair next to it so he could sit and eat, giving Mia plenty of time to warn her mom. "Go ahead and finish up, I'll be right back." He walked down the hall to Mia's office, to find Mia holding her mother who was shaking and crying. He walked closer to put a hand on both of their shoulders, for he could see tears in Mia' eyes as well. "How could he? After all these years? And saying he is dying to boot? Oh man does he know how to play it." Christine was still shaking but it appeared the tears had turned into a bit of rage. "Go ahead and bring him in here, I'll give him more than just a piece of my mind." "Now mom, please try to calm down, I think you should go to another office and not have to confront him right now. He is a fallen man mom, there is very little left. I wouldn't doubt that he lives on the streets. It's really hard to even look at him without feeling pity." "Ok, I don't want to cause a scene in your office, show me where you want me, but please do not take me anywhere close to that man." Mia had Jessie take her mom into an empty office down the opposite hallway, so she wouldn't come in contact with her ex. Mia looked at David and let out a big sigh. "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, can it get any more convoluted?" "Well you know the old saying about God not giving us any more than we can handle." "I hope He knows I am at my very breaking point," Mia replied, "and since when did you get all religious on me?" "It just seemed to fit somehow" "I have to get back into the meeting. I will have Jessie keep an eye on my dad to make sure he doesn't wander around. Can you please go in and be with my mom? She is really upset and I don't want her alone right now. I will buzz Jessie when I am ready to have you and mom join the meeting. I would like to show them my solid 'family' support when I announce my decision." David smiled at being included as family, gave Mia a hug and kiss and gave her the old acting cliché, "break a leg." Mia was able to get a little laugh from his choice, "I may break several, and maybe a back or two as well." She turned and walked down the hallway towards the meeting room. Once again David enjoyed the view, and was also very proud of her. How she was dealing with everything that was happening with such poise and confidence, evident in her walk, was simply amazing. He once again thanked Kismet for giving him the chance to meet this remarkable woman. >**** David knocked on the office door that Christine had gone to and let himself in. Christine looked a bit more composed, and managed a weak smile at his entrance. "Mia wants to get the meeting restarted and says she will buzz Jessie to have her come and get us when she wants us in the meeting. She says she wants to show the board her family support." "You are family now David, and I am so happy. I shudder to think where Mia would be if she had to go through all this alone. Lord knows it has been hard enough on her all these years, but now with that asshole showing up and creating all this? It's almost too much." "She is one strong, tough lady," mused David, but he had seen the look on her face as she tried to pull herself together for the second meeting. >**** Mia entered the meeting room to see everyone else was already seated. She could hear some talking as she opened the door, but as soon as she entered all talking stopped. She tried to look around at their faces and eyes as she walked to her seat, but no one accept Harmony returned her gaze. Marsha was busy on her laptop and didn't even look up. "Sorry to keep you waiting, I had another personal issue to deal with. So, does anyone have anything to say or present the board?" Seth Weisbaum, CFO stood up and looked at Mia. "Some of us were talking and feel it might be, er, best for the company for you to make the appearance of stepping down. You would still be the majority owner but would not be noted as the CEO. Your actual duties and situation would not change, just the title." "Thank you Seth for at least offering something. I have to flatly refuse it however. I am not going to do anything for appearances. I am also not stepping down or changing my title at my own company. I have decided what I am going to do. I had four scenarios as I had said before, but I will not bore you with the ones I did not choose. I am going to break the original part of the company away from the corporation. I will take the original company as my own, and move it to the Seattle area. I will offer all those who work in this section of the company help in relocating if they wish to do so. The rest of the company I am going to sell. I will offer it to you, the board, first. If you do not wish to try to have the purchase financed, I am prepared to put it on the open market. Marsha has all the paperwork ready for either decision. As many of the board members stood and tried to voice their disapproval, Mia hushed them with her hand. "I gave you all plenty of time to come up with your own plan, I am not going to hear any more arguments. My plan has already been put into action." With that said, Mia buzzed Jessie, who went to bring David and Christine into the meeting room. >**** Christine walked with David towards the meeting room, "Do you know what she is going to do?" "Yes, well at least most of her/our plan. We were talking about it during our lunch break walk, but were interrupted before she could finish. She is going to break her original company away from the corporation and move it up to the new office in my town in the Seattle area. She is going to offer the rest to the board if they want to purchase it, or put it up on the open market if they don't. She's pretty sure they will jump at the chance. They have all been paid handsomely, and should be able to swing the financing with the company's worth and the price Mia is going to offer to them. We were talking about something else too, but I want Mia to be with me when we tell you that part." "Oh my! That is a big change! I am happy for you both, but I am going to miss being close to her." Christine was obviously upset by the combination of having her ex showing back up and the thought of having Mia move away. "We want to talk about that with you too Christine," David said as he put his arm around her as they entered the meeting room. David could tell Mia had given the board her decision by the look on their faces as they turned to see who was entering the meeting room. Shock would be an understatement in describing the expressions he saw as he walked to where Mia was standing at the head of the table. Mia reached for his hand, "This is my fiancé, David Jorgenson, and my Mother, Christine Shaw. I wanted my family to be with me when I told you, I am transgendered." The gasp in the room was synchronized as if it had been choreographed. "I am not going to go into much more than that, if you are interested there are many fine articles on the web describing what it is and what it can mean. I wasn't going to mention anything, and had prepared myself and all of you to give the no comment, but you know what? I just don't really care anymore. "Harmony, I would like to see you in my office right after you leave the meeting room. Once again, thank you all for being here and I need to know your answer about my offer on the purchase by noon tomorrow." Mia locked arms with her 'family' and walked proudly out the door, leaving a very quiet board room full of people with everything, yet nothing to say. When they arrived at Mia's office, David closed the door and Mia let out a huge sigh. He walked over to her and gave her a huge hug, feeling a bit of a tremble in her body. He pulled back enough so he could give her a kiss. The kiss lingered long enough for them to hear Christine's "ahem". "Sorry mom, you must have a question or two." "Mia, I really don't know what to say right now. So much has happened, so much is going to happen, and you told them all you are transgendered! When did you decide to tell them that?" "About a breath before I actually said it. I didn't trust that bunch to keep quiet about dad's threats. You know I've had to hide it, to try to keep it quiet, be in an almost covert state for so long, it just came out. I feel so safe with David at my side, like I don't have to hide anything anymore. I don't think either one of you can totally understand what it has been like, and how it feels to have it in the open." Before Christine or David could answer, Jessie burst into the office, "Mia you have to come now! Something is wrong with your father!" They all ran down the hall to the office they had put Mia's dad in. They found him on the floor, his coffee spilled and the bit of sandwich strewn about his prone body. David knelt down to see if he could feel a pulse or any breathing. "Do you have a first aid kit so I can try to resuscitate him? His breathing and pulse are both very faint. Jessie had already run to get the kit, David got out the gloves, as did Jessie. "I took the course too," she said as she tilted his head back and checked to make sure his airway was unobstructed. She had the special breathing tube tool firmly over his mouth and leaned down to ready herself to blow into the other end. "I can do the breaths if you do the chest compressions." They both aligned themselves and began the count, thirty compressions to two breaths. Mia had already called 911 and watched in horror as David and Jessie worked on her father. Christine walked over to comfort and hold Mia during the process. Mia was amazed to hear her mother humming the Bee Gees "Stayin Alive". Christine told her about the little trick she had learned. The one hundred times a minute timing of the chest compressions is about the same beat as the song. David heard and winked at Christine as she started humming again. It wasn't long until the paramedics arrived and took over. Their movements practiced, professional and perfect. They had him hooked up to their portable machines and on the cart in no time flat. The assistant started getting all the information from Mia, as she gave Jessie and David kudos for a job well done. The defibrillation had brought back a steady, yet still weak pulse and breathing. They raised the cart and swiftly had him out the door and out to the truck. Mia found out what hospital they were taking him to and began to get things together to get them to the hospital when she realized she had that 'wonderful' idea to walk this morning. "Jessie, did you drive today?" "Yes, do you need a ride?" "Yes please, can you take all three of us?" "No problem Mia, let's go!" >**** The hospital was another scene. The emergency desk was already trying to get the paperwork straight when Mia walked in. She told them the patient was her father and she would handle all the costs. She gave them her own insurance card, her American Express and her driver's license and told them to go ahead and bill what they needed to her card, and mail the rest to her address on the license. The four of them sat in the waiting room, on pins and needles, taking turns comforting each other. Mia's phone had been ringing from calls and buzzing from texts, but she just left it in her purse. After a while though, she remembered she had told Harmony to meet her in her office right after the meeting. She pulled out her phone and saw most of the messages and texts were from a worried Harmony. Mia stood and walked around to stretch her legs and dialed Harmony's number. "Hi hon, it's me, Mia." "Oh Mia! I've been so worried. How is it going?" "He's still in surgery, he had a heart attack and they are having to do a lot of work. They said it is going to take a few hours, so I finally remembered I was going to talk to you right after the meeting. I want you to know that I am going to try to take care of you as best I can. I am not going to leave you with that bunch. I have a couple ideas for you that when things settle down in a while I want to talk to you about. I will call you later and try to set up a meeting, ok?" "Ok Mia, that will be fine, I wasn't worried about me at all. I am worried about you." "I'll be fine hon, thanks so much. I have David, my mom, and Jessie here and they are doing everything they can. I will talk to you as soon as I know what is going on." "Thanks Mia, love you and good bye. >**** Eventually a doctor came into the waiting room. Mia did not like the look she saw on his face. The nurse showed him over to Mia. "Ms. Shaw, I'm afraid we could not save your father. His body had been ravaged by years of abuse and neglect and could just not rebound from the heart attack. I am very sorry, we did everything in our power but it just wasn't enough." Mia was a little numb, she thought to herself, so that is it? Just like that? She could feel David's arm around her, and her mother at her other side. The three of them just huddled like that for a while, shock, sadness, and exhaustion were starting to set in. A nurse came over to lead Mia over to the office area where she had to sign some papers. As surgery had taken several hours it was so late she would have to make the arrangements the next day, so she took the nurses advice and headed home. Jessie took them to Mia's condo. She had offered to stay but Mia had told her she should go and get some rest as well, for it had been a long day, and there were probably going to be several long days coming up. She had told Jessie the same thing she told Harmony, not to worry, that she was going to be taken care of. She asked her to seriously give some thought to relocating with them. Mia told her she would really be needing her right hand woman a lot before, during, and after the move. Once inside the condo after removing their jackets, they all plopped down on the couches in the living room. They were all trying to deal with what they had just been through. It was difficult for both Mia and her mom, the man had been out of their lives for over thirty years and they both had written off any emotional ties with him a long time ago. Then, the very day he appears back in their lives, he dies. "What a day," Christine said finally breaking the silence and looking for a way to change the mood. "Yep, one to remember or forget, I can't make up my mind." Mia looked at David and smiled after she made her halfhearted attempt at a joke, "But I think I will remember this day, for the rest of my life. Mom, David asked me to marry him today during our walk at lunch. I said YES!" Christine broke out in a huge smile and came running over to squeeze in between Mia and David on the sofa they were sitting on. She stretched to put her arms around the two of them. "Oh Mia! I am so happy. So when is the wedding? Oh my I have so much to do. Where will it be? Is it going to be formal? Oh God, and you're moving to Seattle..." Mia Mine Ch. 09 "Wait Mom, one thing at a time," laughed Mia. "It isn't going to be for a while. We have a lot of things to sort out before we can even begin to plan it. There is one thing I want to ask you though. After seeing what living on the streets did to dad, I was thinking of all the confused and almost helpless girls like me there are out on the streets, having to fight every day just to survive. All the hardship and trouble I had to go through is nothing compared to what these girls have to face. I was one of the lucky ones, having a caring and nurturing parent to help me both emotionally and financially. I know a lot of them have to turn to prostitution or crime just to live. I want to take the proceeds from the sale of my company and this condo and start a foundation to help these girls. I want to make a place, hopefully places, where they can go without fear to get counselling, and real help. I want it to grow so we can help financially, not just in the treatment, but perhaps the surgery if they so select, and a scholarship fund to help them get an education. I have a lot of ideas for it, and I want you to help run it. With your background but especially understanding and experience, you would be a natural. I, we, would hope you could come up and live in the Seattle area. I want the first center to be there, but I have a feeling San Francisco will be the second. I know Harmony will want to be with me, but her situation here right now will probably make her decision to stay. With her experience, she would be running the business aspects of it, but I would love it if you could help run the way these troubled girls get treated." Christine had started crying halfway through Mia's explanation. Her head was nodding up and down in an affirmative fashion. "Oh Mia, what a wonderful and beautiful idea! I would love to be a part of your foundation. You two really want me up there close to you?" "Of course Mom!" David answered loudly before Mia had the chance. "We want you to be near. I lost my mom several years ago, and look forward to having my new mom live by us. You are an infectiously wonderful person Christine, and I have come to love you so much." "Well, so many wonderful things to think about, thank you, you two, for everything. I would love to stay and talk some more, but I am just about dead on my feet and need to get some rest. I'll see you two lovebirds in the morning. Christine kissed them both and went into her room. "Can I pour you a glass of wine?" Mia thanked David for the offer and her got them both a glass and brought it back to the window Mia was standing in front of. "A beautiful city my love, are you sure you want to leave all this?" "Yes, David, very sure. By the way, thank you for your efforts in trying to save my father. You were great the way you took charge and sprang into action." "It was just instinctual I guess, something we all would do for any human in trouble. Jessie was a great partner too. I guess it is a funny thing about us, how even when it's someone we dislike or think we hate, when it's a life or death situation, we choose life." "You are an honorable man David, and I don't think you give yourself enough credit. I am afraid I don't think 'we' all have that same instinct and a lot have not taken the time to learn how to react. Even being so lost in the moments, I was so proud of you and that you are my man. This has been the most difficult day of my life, and I wouldn't have blamed you for just saying this is all too weird and I'm outta here. But you were right there with me, every step of the way. I love you David, so very much." Mia was crying, David put down their wine glasses and held her. She had to let it all out, and he wanted to comfort her while she did so. Mia sobbed and then, just as quickly as the tears had started, she stopped. "Make love to me David, I need to feel your body close to mine, inside me." David picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. Mia enjoyed letting herself be pampered as he slowly removed all her clothes. Once she was naked, she sat back and watched him undress, loving his body, how he moved, how lean and fit he was. She loved catching his hazel eyes and making and holding eye contact. She felt so much when she looked into his eyes, like the old saying about seeing miles and forever in your eyes. Once David had all his clothes off, Mia reached her hand to him and pulled him down to her on the bed. Her body tingled when she felt his warmth against her body. Their hands were in overdrive, caressing every part of each other's body. David kissed Mia's neck which caused her to throw her head back in blissful abandon. He moved to nibble her ear lobe and the moved a bit more to let his hot breath whisper in her ear. "I want you Mia, I want to make love to you. I want to be inside and go so very slowly so I can just feel how wonderful it is to fill you." Mia was now beside herself with passion and grabbed on to David's now hardened penis. She rolled over on top of David to reach for the lubricant. Once she had it, she rolled over again to sit beside David. She playfully rubbed the lubricant all over his penis and balls, grabbing them and gently squeezing them to watch him squirm in pleasure. She put some more on her own fingers and reached around to lubricate her anal opening. She closed the top of the lubricant and threw it off to the side. Then she straddled David putting a leg on either side of him as she faced him, looking at his chiseled, yet warm facial features. Without losing eye contact she reached for his staff and held it just below her opening. Then she started to let herself down, guiding him inside her. She slid very slowly, remembering David's request. She had to admit to herself it was what she wanted and needed at this time as well. The hot fast pounding sex was fine, usually. But after the day's events, what they both needed was a prolonged act of love. She finally slid all the way down and had him completely inside her. She stayed still, to just enjoy the feeling. David had let his hands roam, one playing with her breasts and nipples, the other grabbing and slowly pumping her hardness. "I want to feel this forever, this is the love I dreamed of, not just wonderful sex, but meaningful lovemaking," Mia relayed as she started to slowly move her hips around in a slow circle. As she got back to the center point again, she leaned forward so she could let her hands caress his chest and even pinched his nipples as well. She watched his face as he gave himself over to the pleasure she was giving. Now it was his head thrown back, reveling in all the wondrous sensations of his wife to be making sweet, sensual love to him. As Mia had leaned forward, David moved his caresses to her back. Trying to find the tense spots he was sure the day's tension had made. He rubbed and squeezed and rubbed again, bring her release from the tensed muscles in her back. After a bit he pulled her close to him so he could kiss her, and although they enjoyed the kiss, pulling her forward pulled him a bit out of her. Mia released from their kiss and sat straight up again and began to move up and down, very slowly at first. David returned to stroke her hardness, this time with both hands, one on her shaft, the other cupping her sac. As David increased his caresses of her hardness, Mia began to move in quicker rises and thrusts. She could feel he was about to make her orgasm, and she wanted to try to time it for as close to simultaneous orgasms as she could. She felt herself get closer, hearing her own moans as if she was having an out of body experience. Yet she was also feeling all the wonderful sensations of thrusting onto David, and his pumping of her own penis. She felt David's legs begin to tense which was a sign he was close, so she just let herself go wild pumping and being pumped. It wasn't long until she screamed as her juices shot onto David's stomach. Just at that moment, she felt him buck under her, arch his back, and pump himself deeply inside her to shoot his load. He held them at that point for a long bit, squeezing everything out of him. He was totally engrossed in the eroticism of seeing her shoot her load onto his stomach first, then pumping as deeply inside her as he could to give her his orgasm. Finally, he had to let his back fall back onto the bed, and Mia fell on top of him. Both enjoying the euphoric post lovemaking sensations. They were sure it would soon turn over to sheer exhaustion, but for these precious moments, they shared the bliss. Soon they moved to be at each other's side, and fell fast and peacefully asleep. >**** The morning arrived all too soon. David, being the practiced early riser got up first and started the coffee and took his shower and shaved. As he came out of the bathroom he noticed Mia hadn't stirred. He smiled and went out to the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee and go to the windows to watch the San Francisco morning begin. It was an amazing site to behold to watch how the activity kept growing. A few early to work people were out but it took quite a while to see the commute reach the normal congested state. He wondered if Mia would miss this vibrant and so very alive city. He hoped she would be able to get what she needed running the portion of the company she was going to move up north. He hoped she would be able to let go of some of the vast duties she had done, wondering if the work was just a replacement of sorts to make up for a lack of a love life. He was also excited to see how the foundation would go, knowing it would be very important to Mia. It was a funny thing for seeing her long lost father; who had left her and dismissed her as a person basically, had helped inspire the foundation's beginning. Just then he noticed Mia walking out towards him in her long red satin robe. He loved how she looked as the long robe accentuated her graceful walk as it flowed with each step. "Well, good morning beautiful, are you ready to start the first day of the rest of our lives together?" "This day and every day, forever." Mia Mine Ch. 10 Mindy stared at the droplets of rain as they ran down the window of the little coffee house with free Wi-Fi. She was waiting for the special website to load so she could change the phone number in her ad to the new 'burner' she picked up. She needed one more "liaison" (she hated the word trick, it made her feel cheap), to make enough to get a room for the night. It had been a while since she was able to afford the 'luxury' of spending the night in the cheap, ratty motel. At least it would have a TV to take her mind off things, and best of all, enough hot water to take a nice long shower and wash her long black hair. After she changed her number, she lay the phone down next to her, finished drinking her coffee, and eating her stale, day old bagel. Not quite a gourmet dinner, but it would have to suffice, again. She did a quick inventory of her available cash. She kept it in different places. In her purse, she kept the wallet with her ID and enough money to pay for her HRT drugs. One of her friends had turned her on to 'a guy' who sold it to the girls on the street. She was running low and would have to make contact with him soon. She checked the little pocket in her tight shorts, where she kept her food money. Tight pocket so tight on the food. In her right shoe was the money she kept for extras, like hopefully the motel tonight. She sighed to herself and began to feel that depression roll in again. Life on the streets is hard at best, and impossible when you weren't on top of your game. She looked back at the window, to see the rain was now a little stronger, it had turned into little rivers, running the full length of the window. She watched as they zigzagged into little designs, racing for the window sill. Seeing nature's designs reminded her how much she missed her drawing and painting. She had spent many happy hours involved in her art, before the hammer came. The hammer being when she could no longer keep her secret from her parents, and had told them she was a girl, born into a boy's body. Her parents had laughed it off at first, thinking it quite the joke their son was trying to play on them. They knew he wasn't athletic, and threw himself into the arts, so wrote off his statement as that of a mixed up artist. Mindy was an only child. Her parents had her late in life and were somewhat surprised when her mother's gynecologist announced she was pregnant. They lived in a well to do neighborhood and thought of themselves as liberal and open-minded. But they weren't all that socially active, their jobs kept them too busy for that. As it turned out, they were too busy to raise a child as well. So, Mindy was left alone a lot when she was young, to deal with her thoughts and feelings by herself. She smiled to herself as she remembered the first time she really dressed as she felt. The open mouths, the speechless more than pregnant pause that greeted her. But then came the hammer. She was not to be seen in public dressed as a girl, nor was she to be seen in their house dressed as a girl. This was limited only to her room. She was thirteen at the time, and she put up with it for five years, then, the day after she turned eighteen, she took off for the vast unknown. She had been aiming for California, but since she was hitch hiking, three months later she ended up in Seattle. ₪> * * David walked through the door after getting home from work. He was surprised to see Mia's car already in the garage, he knew that she had been putting in long hours at her new head office in the sleepy little burg an hour ferry ride away from Seattle. As she had expected, her former board members swung the financing, and had purchased the rest of her company while she kept the part of the company she had started and built into quite the little empire. She got a tidy sum for both the sale of part of the company and for her condominium. This had given her enough money to start her new foundation with houses in both the Seattle area (in the same little town Mia and David lived) and San Francisco. As she had planned, her mother was in charge of the Seattle area house and her old Chief Operations Manager, Harmony Fleming, was heading the San Francisco house. The foundation had gotten some really good publicity, as Marsha, Mia's lawyer knew many people in the entertainment industry and spread the word about the new foundation to help the transgendered with a safe place to stay. The foundation offered professional counseling, medical aid, and both employment and or education aid. Once the word spread throughout the entertainment industry the donations began to flow in wondrous amounts. Mia was overjoyed when Harmony decided to leave her old company and come to work for her and the new foundation. She was so savvy in all the financial dealings to get the houses ready, all the necessary details to handle all the things they had decided they wanted the foundation houses to have. So, both houses were set up, remodeled and now ready for their 'guests'. "Hi hon! Welcome home!" Mia shouted from upstairs. "And a hi hon to you too! What are you doing up there?" "I'll be right down, I just wanted to shower and get into something comfortable, and I've been wearing work outfits for so long, I really wanted a change." He was just about to yell up a retort while he unpacked his backpack with his thermos, travel mug, and tablet with the portable keyboard, when he heard Mia on the stairs. He looked up to see her and gave a soft whistle at what he saw. She was wearing a clinging red satin robe that tied around her slender waist. It was so beautiful with her dark hair and how it seemed to know where to cling to show off all her best features. Of course Mia knew just how to walk to show all this off for her husband to be. ₪> * * Mindy was just about to give up on getting a call from her ad on the website and was going to shut down her little laptop, when she saw a new ad in the "t4m" section. "ERAEW is a new foundation set up exclusively to help transgendered girls on the street get a safe haven to live while getting the counseling, medical attention, and school and or employment help to change your lives. Please visit our website to get more details." Mindy was skeptical but followed the link to the website. It was very well done, and she started to feel an aching inside as she read of all the things the foundation could do to help girls like her get off the streets and start a new life, being not only accepting of who they were, but proud of it. She sat there as the rain now started beating against the glass as a little squall passed over. She was lost in thought as she let her mind wander and dream of no longer having to be on the streets, sell herself to all the freaks and assholes, and be ridiculed, threatened, and beaten for who she was. She had been so shocked at the number of her 'johns' that were so excited to be with a 'shemale' that they couldn't wait for the meeting. Then, after the sex, they would get violent and take out their bigoted anger on her for their own desires that they were now embarrassed about. Many had tried to beat her, and not pay for her services. Mindy had learned a mixture of martial arts moves from some of the other girls, and could usually at least stun the attacker long enough to get her money and herself out of danger (usually). She smiled when she thought of all the training and one of the friends that had trained her. Aiko was a beautiful transgendered girl from Japan. She had moved to the states at a very young age. Her parents had put her through several martial arts programs and she had kept up her training even while going through her transition. She had taught Mindy how to do plate pinches to start strengthening her fingers, and then working up to finger pushups. At the same time she showed Mindy where all the easy to reach and most painful pressure points on the body were. She taught her techniques to get her hands free during an attack so she could use the 'finger punches' to these points to stun if not incapacitate her attackers. Mindy's favorite was the 'balloon pop', where if she could free both hands, put all her fingers closely together and smacking the attacker's ears in a clapping motion as if trying to pop a balloon. She also loved all the leg and knee kicks Aiko taught her. With her love for dancing, the full leg motion kick was her favorite. It was fun to practice the roundhouse motion, but she knew the times she would be able to use it were probably few, for most of the attacks came in close quarters, where the finger punches or knee to the groin were the most common moves. Thinking of Aiko took Mindy back to that horrible time. She was new, and very naive to the whole street scene. One of her first liaisons was with a very large, football player type young man. At first he was very nice and Mindy's sixth sense alarm didn't go off. He was very kind and drove them to the cheap motel on the strip off the highway, which offered 'hourly' rates, where many of the girls took their business. He got their room and continued to be nice. They got the money handled for his blow job (which was all he had asked for). He was very into it all as Mindy started to zip down his pants, slide them down, and pull down his shorts to reveal a small but very hard erection. His moans grew as she reached for him and held him in her hands, stroking ever so slowly. She normally followed the other girls' instructions to get them off as fast as she could, but he was nice, and he was enjoying it so much. Mindy finally bent her head down to feed his hard cock into her mouth. He gasped. Due to his size, it was very easy for her to take him completely into her mouth, and he gasped even louder and grabbed the back of her head. Mindy began to get that sixth sense alarm, and tried to pull back, but his strength kept her right where she was. She didn't want to show weakness, show him she was scared, so she kept on bobbing her head up and down on his hardness. She felt him relax a bit, and hoped he was close, but he just released her head and said, "Now I want to fuck you in the ass." "That's another fifty bucks and you have to wear a condom," she said hoping he would change his mind. Her hopes were dashed when he pulled a condom out of his pocket and threw it at her. She unwrapped it, glad it was at least lubricated, and slid it over his hard penis. "Now, bend over at the bed bitch, I am going fuck your brains out." Her sixth sense was sending out an all systems alarm now. Mindy could not see a way out of it, so she turned around, pulled down her tight skirt, careful to make sure her special thong was in place so she could pull her own penis and balls up towards her front. She then pulled her panties all the way down, pulled her equipment as tight to her front as she could, and bent over to grab the side of the bed. He rushed in behind her, grabbed her hips, and without so much as an iota of concern, slammed his sheathed cock into her unlubricated ass. Luckily he wasn't that big but it still hurt a lot and Mindy screamed. "That's it bitch, scream for me, tell me how much you love my hard, pumping cock ramming your asshole." Trying to play along to get out of this as fast as she could Mindy moaned, screamed again and told him what he wanted to hear. "Oh god, yes! Ram that big cock into my tiny ass. Show me how a real man satisfies his woman." Oops thought Mindy to herself, probably went too far with that and she shuddered waiting for his response. Luckily he was so turned on he was just about ready to cum, so he didn't respond to her last statement (yet). She felt his hands hold her hips even stronger, he pounded into her one last time all the way he could, and she could feel the movement of his penis as he shot his load into the condom. He let out a moan and fell onto her back. He was quite heavy so he pinned Mindy to the bed. She laid there quietly for a while wondering if he'd passed out or something. She then felt him slowly pull off her and she thought it was over. Then she felt his punch to her kidney. God it hurt! It practically winded her, and she struggled to get up to try to get her breathing back. As soon as she stood, he pulled her around and looked straight into her eyes. She thought it funny that through the rage, she thought she could see, or at least sense fear. "You god damned fuckin tranny whore. I'm getting my money back and teaching you a lesson you wont forget! You're just a faggot in a skirt, don't be giving me this 'woman shit!'" With that, he gave her a full roundhouse punch to the jaw. Everything went black. Several hours later, she awoke at Aiko's place. As her eyes began to focus again, she could see Aiko and another of the street girls standing beside her. "What in the hell happened to me?" "You got beat up, robbed, and basically left for almost dead," she heard Aiko say. "The night clerk at that motel called me when he found you on the bed, bleeding. We came over and got you out of there as fast as we could." "I don't get it, he was so nice, and then after he came, he starting hitting and calling me all sorts of names." "Some of them are like that, especially the big ones. Somehow they don't want to admit to themselves that they are turned on by a transgendered woman. Oh they will be so nice at first, but after they shoot their wad their shame and embarrassment turns into rage, and they take out all the fear and insecurities they have inside themselves on the poor girl who happens to be there." After that, Aiko told her she would teach her a few martial arts tricks to help at least stun an attacker like that to get out safely. It wasn't long, and Mindy felt she could at least surprise and stun her would be attackers before any real damage came to her. She started to expect it after every session. She remembered the look on the face of the first guy she had to use her new training on. She used the straight fingered punch to his adams apple followed quickly by a very well placed and powerful knee to his groin. As he bent over in pain from that blow, she brought up her well aimed other knee to his jaw. He was out cold. Mindy reached into his wallet and pulled out only the amount they had agreed on and left the room. She told the night clerk "The gentleman in room 6 might need some attention. I think he had too much," with a wink she skipped out of the motel. That was all it took. Mindy shook herself from her dream and clicked on the email link to get more information about the foundation. She had to get off the streets, and back into her art, and the life she wanted so badly for herself. ₪> * * David stood at the bottom of the stairs with his arms out, and Mia melted into them as she reached the main floor. She reached her mouth up, hungrily searching out his, wanting desperately that kiss she had been thinking about since she had gotten home early. She was giggling as she reached her lips up to find his, as she remembered how hard she had gotten in the shower thinking of her man, soon to be her husband. He did tease just a bit but finally met her lips with his, and they kissed, deeply, tongues seeking the other to dance inside the warmth of the two connected mouths. He let his left arm fall to have his hand find her luscious round cheek; he grabbed it and loved the feeling of its shape and firm makeup. It felt so wonderful in his hand, the warmth and softness of her skin, covered in the thin satin. Mia loved this too and began grinding her pelvis against his, to feel his hardness. Once she found it, she was relentless with her pressure and grinding motions. He moved his right arm from the embrace, as she was now basically stuck to him, so he could reach under her robe and caress her left breast. She began to moan, but continued her grinding pressure on him. As she increased her intensity, he grabbed her nipple, and squeezed it firmly between his fingers. Mia gasped. "We better get back upstairs NOW!" He managed to say after breaking the kiss. Mia reached into her robe pocket, pulled out a small bottle of lube, handed it to her man, hitched up her robe, leaned onto the stairs and pointed that beautiful ass of hers up to him and said, "We aren't going anywhere, take me here, now, on the stairs. I have been waiting all day to have you inside me and I am not going to wait another second." He need no further encouragement and in a flash had his pants and underwear down, both his shaft and Mia's puckered opening completely covered in the wondrous smelling lubricant and began slowly sliding himself into her waiting (and wanting) ass. "Oh yes Baby! Oh God, I have been wanting you so much today, please give me all of you and hold it there." He once again, did not have to be asked twice. He grabbed her hips and slid his now throbbing member completely into her. He held it there, just as she had said, and then he felt her hips start to gyrate. As she moved the beautiful ass in front of him, he did his best to stay completely inside her, but had to work at it, as she was moving now with quite the rhythm, as if some primal music played inside her. As he began to understand the rhythm she moved to he began to move himself, pulling out slowly, then as she reached a pinnacle of her movement, slam himself home, all the way in. He knew he was finding what she was looking for by the moans and now screams that were coming from his now totally uninhibited woman. He felt his orgasm building up inside, and let Mia know, and she quickly said, "Yes David, fill me now, I want to feel your seed inside me." That was all it took, he bellowed and bent over Mia's back, pushing himself as far inside her as he could, and shot rope after rope of his seed, deep inside her. ₪> * * Mindy was amazed, her email was responded to in a matter of minutes. She opened it and it was supposedly from the 'head' of the house, Christine Shaw. Christine said she was the mother of Mia, who was transgendered and had started the foundation. She said they had just opened their doors and Mindy would be their first guest if she so decided. She gave her phone number and told Mindy to call any time she wanted, day or night, and that Christine or one of the others at the house would be glad to talk to her. She said she hoped Mindy would decide to come to the house and looked forward to meeting her. Mindy looked at the phone number, then at her phone. She was torn. She wanted this to be what Christine said it was, but she had been fooled and taken advantage too many times in the last year on the streets to not be skeptical of this whole thing. Just as she was about to call the number to at least talk to this Christine, her phone buzzed. She answered, "Hello, this is Mindy." "Uh yeah, um Mindy, I saw your ad and I would really like to meet you. Can you see me tonight? "Maybe, where are you?' Her potential liaison told her, and she saw on her google map he wasn't very far. "I'm at the little coffee shop off 2nd and Pike." "I know the place, I can be there in about fifteen minutes, meet me outside. I'll be driving a white Lincoln." "Ok, I'll see you in fifteen minutes." Mindy thought this was a sign. Finding out about the weird named foundation, and then hopefully a way to get enough money to be able to afford the motel room and a shower, maybe her luck was beginning to change. ₪> * * David and Mia had finished their light dinner and cleanup and were sitting together on the new sofa that was part of Mia's redecorating of the house after she had moved in. "This has been a wonderful evening, thank you so much honey," she said as she laid her head on his shoulder. He held her tightly to him, "Thank you too, it was a very special evening. I was so excited to see you were already home when I got here. You have been putting way to many hours in at the office lately, I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to see you again." Mia Mine Ch. 10 "It has been a lot more work than I thought getting all this started up. But now with both houses up and ready for the foundation, and my office up here running like the headquarters I wanted it to be, I think I can finally take it a little easier now." "You, your mom, and Harmony have done a wonderful job with the foundation houses. I hope the fliers and website ads will get to the girls you are trying to help." "Me too, but you know, talking with all the new counselors and doctors started me thinking. How come you never asked me why I haven't had the SRS?" "I have started many times, but I know from the research I did that it is a very personal and private decision. I figured I would let you tell me in your own time. I had talked to your mom about it once and she said you would explain your decision." "Well, yes, it is a very personal and private decision, but we're going to be married now and share everything. Please don't ever think there is anything that you can't ask me. I don't want to think that about you either." "You're right, open books from this point on," David smiled, "so, why haven't you had the surgery?" "I am a little embarrassed, but to tell you the truth, I am scared of doctors and especially hospitals. When my dad was trying to force me to see all those doctors and shrinks to 'fix' me, I just got so afraid of the whole idea of doctors and hospitals. You know one of the quacks even tried ECT on me. Once I realized what was going on, I ripped them all off and ran out of the hospital in my gown. Luckily my dad was out in the car so I didn't have to run home, just sit there and listen to all his shit. But of course by then I knew how to "yes dad" him and tune his bigoted ideas out. I know it is silly, and it really hasn't mattered much until now. I have been thinking a lot about going through with the SRS, fully becoming a woman, your woman. What are your thoughts?" "Well, I have thought about it too. I always get down to the same bottom line. And that is I love you Mia. I love the woman you are. I will always love you and the arrangement of your genitalia really has little to do with my love for you. I will fully support either decision on your part. If you do decide to go through with it, I can certainly hold your hand to get through all the scary parts." David smiled with this last remark, for he found it very hard to believe that this woman of so much strength and will power would be afraid of doctors and hospitals. "Ok, smarty, so now you're making fun of me?" Mia playfully punched him in the side of his arm. "Not at all honey, well ok, a little, you are so strong and powerful that it is hard to believe, but I have known several people that have a definite aversion to anything medical, and shhhh don't tell anyone, but I have a bit of that same aversion." "I suppose the biggest thing that stood in my way, was I lost a very close friend after she had the surgery. She was one of the very few where a complication during surgery happened. They call it a vaginal-rectal fistula, where there is actually some tissue death from the packing during the immediate postop period which allows excrement to not only exude into the vagina causing a very high risk of infection, but it also stops the fistula from healing. Now even the most successful surgeries have to be followed up with long term and consistent aftercare. She was a bit negligent in this. Her infection made it so she could not dilate her vagina properly, and eventually it closed. She was so distraught and had no money left to repair it. While I was gone on a lengthy business trip, she killed herself." "My God! I am so sorry Mia. That must have been a horrible time for you. Struggling with your choice before that, then losing your good friend because of it." "I keep telling myself she didn't follow all the aftercare precautions, but I felt I should have been there for her too. She hid the problem from me for a while, and tried to hide it from herself I think. She would put off treating the infections so long, she would finally have to put herself through going to the ER. Most of the ER personnel are great, but there are a few who can suffer from the same bigotry as the rest of the population. I can only imagine how depressed she had been having to drag herself to the ER, only to be treated like a freak by a doctor who obviously didn't want to treat her, and would make snide comments about not turning into the 'sex toy' she had hoped." "You've got to be kidding!" David was aghast to hear this. "No, not at all, the hatred towards the transgendered lives in all walks of life, from the truly uneducated to the highly educated. Some people are afraid of what they don't know. Some blame religion or God, saying the transgendered are 'the Devil's work' and abominations. I just shiver when I think of what my friend had to go through, and how I wasn't there for her." "Well, if you decide to go through with it, we will make sure you have not only the finest surgeon in the field do the work, but you will follow the postop and after care regimen to the letter. You will have both me and your mother being your nazi nurses, bugging the hell out of you if you don't!" "I am sure I can get past all that now, especially with you at my side throughout the entire process. I guess in the past, I wanted to do it for me, like everything else, but it just seemed a bit hollow without someone to love and share it with. I was so distraught after the few relationships I had blew up on me, some in almost atomic explosions." "The only explosions now my love are when we do make love." "Very cute David! But seriously, I had begun talking to all the counselors and medical staff now available for the foundation house, and they corroborated my doctor's recommendation of a surgeon up here. I have my first consulation appointment with him tomorrow morning. I would love to be a complete woman for our wedding night. "Mia I love you, and, like I have said, will love you no matter what you decide, and I will be going with you to your appointment." David reached over to hug her close to him, and Mia snuggled as far into his hug as she could. "Thank you, I was hoping you would." As they sat there, looking at the fire, Mia's phone text sound for her mother sounded off. She reached over to look. "Mom got her first email from a potential guest!" ₪> * * Mindy stood in the now steady rain. She stood there, trying to find cover in the building's awnings, but she was soaked, and thought she probably looked like a drowned rat. She did a quick reassessment of her reflection in the storefront window she stood before. At least the moisture made her low cut blouse hug her tightly, showing off her 'little girls' to their fullest. Her long, slender, but now toned (from all the walking) legs also looked good, as her tight shorts were short enough to show them off, as well as her tight little rounded butt. Even in this damn rainy weather, I look pretty good, she thought to herself as she saw the fancy Lincoln pull up to the curb. She slowly walked to the door, and saw the window slide down. "I'm Mindy, do you want a date?" "Yes, please come on in" said the man in the darkened car. It was hard to see him, and she always relied on her sixth sense to recognize trouble before it started. As he opened the door, the overhead light came on and she knew immediately whose car it was and quickly turned to get away, but a couple of hands came from someone who had silently moved in behind her pushed her roughly inside the car. "Don't be shy Mindy, c'mon in," heard Mindy, in that deep baritone voice she had never wanted to hear ever again. Mindy cringed when she heard the voice from the back seat. She knew immediately who it was. His street name was Pain, and that was what he and his minions inflicted on all those unlucky enough to get on his bad side. Before she could even try to get out of the car, a rope came from behind her and held her tightly to the back of the seat, and she felt the first punch to her jaw. Her scream became muffled as a gag was tied tightly in her mouth and around her head. The second punch came to her stomach and her body tried to double up in pain but could not, being tied so tightly to the seat. "So, you ready to listen now little tranny bitch?" She shook her head yes, hoping the punches would stop. They didn't, as the next one went right to her eye. She just about passed out and could barely make out what the top pimp in the area was saying. She knew she heard something about how even trannies had to work for him in his area. "But you tranny freaks can't work the same areas as my girls do. We don't want your kind and the types of customers you bring in around us." Mindy heard him screaming but it was almost like she was in a dream, a very bad nightmare. Just as she felt the car slowing down, she felt a punch right in her crotch. Had she not had herself packed up for work it would have caused a lot of damage. As it was the pain was numbing. She felt the rope being lifted up off of her, heard the door opening, saw the light from the overhead dome, then another punch to her face as they pushed her out onto the street side from the slow moving car. She felt herself rolling on the hard, wet pavement until she crashed into the curb. Then everything went black. ₪> * * Jonathan was driving home from another very late night at his office. They had been working feverishly to meet the deadline for a new software update to the web based giant that had moved him out to Seattle from his Midwestern home. It had been exciting to get this job with this huge company and to move out to the coast. He had never even seen the ocean or a mountain until he came out here. The long hours were starting to get to him a bit though, and he hoped things would settle down a bit now since the deadline had been met. Lost in thought, he hadn't really been watching the traffic very closely, after all it was quite late at night. He really had to put on the brakes when the white Lincoln in front of him all of a sudden slowed to a crawl for no apparent reason. He braked in time and was just about to honk his horn when he saw the passenger side door open and a girl being thrown out onto the street. He pulled all the way over to the curb, stopped, and went running out his door to see what in the hell was going on. As he got to her, he could see she was breathing, although quite softly. He tried rolling her a bit to get her face away from being smashed against the side of the curb. She appeared to be unconscious. He started thinking about what he should do. He at first thought to pick her up and put her in his car to take her to the emergency room. He thought better of that however, as he had no idea of the extent of her injuries. Being thrown out of a moving car could have caused back and or neck injuries that any movement by an untrained Good Samaritan could possibly make worse. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed 911 as he ran back to his car to turn on his flashers and get his umbrella and blanket out of the trunk. As he reported what was going on and where they were, he covered her with the blanket, and held the umbrella over her. He waited what seemed to be an eternity. He thought he heard a faint groan once as she rolled over just a bit more. He could see she had been beaten pretty severely, with cuts and bruises around her jaw and a swelling black eye. He could see through all the bruising, that she was a lovely girl. Very long, dark hair, and an almost exotic look to her face. He couldn't believe that anyone would so brutally hurt such a lovely creature. Finally, he heard the siren, saw the flashing lights, and waived the EMT vehicle down. He stepped back to let the trained aid workers do their job. Just as he was making his way back from her to allow the EMT's room, he saw her open her eyes and look at him. They were a wonderful color of blue that radiated in the street light. He thought he saw her try to smile at him and mouth "thanks." The aid workers made their quick assessment, but as they looked at her clothes Jonathan thought he heard the male EMT say to his female partner, "another streetwalker beaten by her pimp." She had been running her hands over the girl's body to look for any other injuries, "TG" she said as her hands left Mindy's groin area. Memories of Jonathan's brother/sister flashed through his head when he heard the female EMT's comment. All the pain and anger her death had caused came rushing back into his body. He remembered his silent vow to himself, if he ever had the chance, he was going to help the Transgendered as much as he could. His older brother, whom he idolized, had confided in him when he was about eighteen, telling Jonathan he was transgendered. He had to spell out what that meant for his naïve little brother. Jonathan listened intently and saw the importance of what his brother was telling him. He went on to help his brother as much as he could. He went through all the highs and lows of the transformation process. He was glad his parents were accepting of the transformation as well. It was really an amazing process, for he saw his brother turn into a beautiful young woman. He was so glad to see his brother/sister finally happy. She would come in and confide all her secrets, model her new clothes and even show him the effect of the HRT's. Jonathan had watched his brother go through the inner struggles and pain before making the change. He also saw and heard her stories of the bigotry and hatred she was now facing from the outside. She had found a job in a clothing store and had met a guy she really liked. She moved into her own place and was doing really well. Jonathan talked to Sam (Samantha was the name her brother had decided on) almost every day in one form or another. He also spent several evenings at her apartment watching movies and talking. Sam confided one night she thought she was falling in love with Roger and was so happy. He was a wonderful guy, but she knew she was going to have to tell him about her being transgendered soon as their romance was progressing quite quickly. Then one day Sam didn't answer her phone, any of his texts, and even the email he tried. This went on for a couple days and Jonathan got worried. He went to her apartment, knocked but she didn't answer. He put his ear to the door but didn't hear any sounds. He went to the store she worked at the next day, only to find out she hadn't been there for three days and hadn't called. Jonathan was really worried now and went back to her apartment to find the manager. The manager brought the key and the two of them walked into Sam's apartment to be hit with the awful smell of a decomposing body. They covered their noses with their handkerchiefs and continued through the apartment. It looked like there had been a huge fight as the furniture was overturned and broken. Several pictures were off the wall, broken, on the floor. They finally made to her bedroom. There she lay, on her bed, lifeless. Her face had been beaten savagely, as well as several parts of her body. It looked like she had been beaten and crawled into her bedroom, took a bottle of heavy pain pills and an entire bottle of sleeping pills, laid down on her bed and died. Jonathan fell to his knees, bent his head to her side, and sobbed uncontrollably. That's when he had made his vow. Jonathan was taken out his memory as one of the aids came over to get his story. They had also notified the police and a police cruiser pulled over to really make it a scene. The policeman had him repeat the story again, and asked for the license plate number of the Lincoln. Of course Jonathan hadn't gotten the plate number. He told the policeman he was just lucky he hadn't hit the car that for no apparent reason almost stopped in mid street. He didn't even think to get the plate number as seeing a girl being thrown out of a moving vehicle surprised him. He was starting to get the feeling he was being interrogated, like he had harmed this girl and was beginning to get upset. By now, the EMT's had gotten the girl onto the stretcher and were wheeling her over to their truck. They had also gotten her back to consciousness and they yelled over to the policeman, "It was Pain again." "Shit," Jonathan heard the policeman mutter not quite under his breath. "License plate number wouldn't do much good anyway with him. He always has his guys steal a car when they plan on roughing someone up." "Where will they take her?" Jonathan asked the policeman. "Over to the county hospital emergency room where they take all the uninsured." "Where is that?" Jonathan asked and the policeman gave him the address and quick directions on how to get there. Jonathan had decided to follow through with his help, to make sure she was going to be helped. He had no problem following the EMT truck as they didn't seem like they were in too much of a hurry to get her to the hospital. ₪> * * Christine was so excited she had a hard time staying asleep. She finally gave up trying and got up at five AM. She showered, dressed, and made it down to the kitchen to start the coffee, have her wheat toast with an egg and went over in her mind how the day should go. Mindy's email made it sound like she was going to try to make the first morning ferry which left Seattle around six AM. Mindy had not responded to her last email asking her if she needed a ride once the ferry got into the landing at a little before seven. Christine had already sent out all the emails to the nurse, doctor, and psychiatrist to come over and give Mindy a full physical and mental checkup. She hoped this wouldn't be too much for the girl on her first day, but she wanted to know for sure what issues needed immediate attention to help this girl. She knew she had to tone down her own excitement, so as not to scare off her first guest. It was going to have to be a happy medium to control her own excitement, yet try to create it in Mindy. She was going to have to remember her demeanor from her teaching days, and the first day of classes. The difficult task of listing all the work that was going to be expected, yet instilling a sense of excitement to learn all that was available. ₪> * * Jonathan finally found a nurse that would help him locate Mindy. She took him to a large room with a lot of beds that had sheet type curtains surrounding them for "privacy". As he pulled the curtain back a little to poke his head in, he could see Mindy, now propped up in the bed and all her cuts bandaged. She now had quite a shiner on her right eye, and he could see the ice bag in her hand that he figured was supposed to be held against her swollen and bruising eye. "Hi" she said softly, "you are the guy that saved me aren't you?" "Hi, I'm Jonathan, I called 911 for you, they were the ones that saved you." "I could have laid there for a long time, and who knows what would have happened to me, Pain could have sent another team to finish me for all I know. So, in my mind, you saved me." Mindy managed a faint smile with the last part of her comment. "Anyone would have done the same if they had seen it all happen." "You're not from around here are you?" "Well, no, but why did you ask?" "Because there doesn't seem to be any 'anyones' for girls like me, and I could have laid there for a long time. So, thank you, thank you very much, you did save me. By the way, I'm Mindy," she said reaching her bandaged right hand out. "I'm Jonathan, and I think I will just give you a little tap, that hand looks like it is heavily wrapped." "Oh my yes, they gave me some pretty heavy pain meds, sorry if I am a bit out of it." As she finished, the ER doctor walked in officiously, with clipboard in hand. "There is no severe internal damage, and we have attended to all your cuts and bruises. You are free to go, but you should check back in a few days to take care of your bandages and get checked out again." Mia Mine Ch. 10 "Ok, thanks for everything Doc," said Mindy as she slowly started to try to get herself so she could swing her legs over the side of the bed. "Your clothes are over there in the closet, and your friend can help you get dressed," were his final instructions said over his shoulder as he walked briskly out of her 'room'. "So friend, are you going to help me get dressed?" Jonathan's face turned twenty shades of red, "Sure, I can help, I guess." He walked over to the where her clothes were and brought them over to her. "I will wait outside the curtain while you dress." Mindy liked his shyness and especially his genuine concern for her. Even through the fog of the medication her trusted sixth sense told her he was a keeper. She was glad she didn't have to dress in front of him, for she didn't know him well enough to know how he would react to seeing her penis. She didn't know he had overheard the EMT's remark, so already knew she was transgendered. She did struggle with getting her the special thong she used to 'pack' herself. The huge bandage on her right hand made it very tough. She was able to hook one strap of the thong over her thumb and stretch it enough to climb in, but holding it in place and packing herself with her left hand seemed very awkward and difficult. She was able to finally get that done, and her panties put on over the thong. But she knew she would never be able to do her bra and tight shorts. She slipped her bra on to at least cover her breasts as much as she could. "Jonathan, do you think you could come in and give me a hand?" "Sure" said Jonathan as he slipped the curtain open, to be shocked at seeing Mindy standing there in panties and her bare back exposed to him. "I cant do my bra or put on these tight shorts with my hand all wrapped up like this." Jonathan walked over to her and meekly picked up the bra straps and tried to do the clasps. He gave himself a little sardonic laugh as he fumbled with it, thinking of his dad's favorite movie, "Animal House", when Pinto was trying to undo Clorette's bra and saying 'I think it's locked or something'. He was finally able to 'lock' her bra and she turned around and handed him her shorts. She leaned back against the bed and lifted her left foot up. Jonathan bent down to slip the left foot into her shorts, not missing how much he enjoyed being so close to this lovely, semi-dressed woman. As her left foot was put into the shorts, she put it down and raised her right and he slowly slipped her shorts over her right foot. She stood straight up again and Jonathan started to raise her shorts up, having a bit of a tough time from in front (with his face basically in her crotch), he stood up and turned her around so he could reach around and pull them up from behind. They were so tight that he actually had to struggle a bit and Mindy was excited and happy to feel his hardness as he bumped himself into her ass to pull her shorts up and over hers. "Thank you Jonathan, hope you enjoyed the view." "Sorry, your shorts are so tight, I don't see how you do it even without bandages." "Well, a girl has to show off her assets to get anywhere on the streets." Mindy wished she hadn't said that even before the last word was out of her mouth. "Well, from what I can see of your 'assets' you must do very well," said Jonathan trying to be cavalier about her profession. "That's all about to change though," Mindy said quickly. "Really? How so?" "I contacted a foundation that is set up to help girls like me, and they told me I could come over. They supposedly can help with getting me going on education and work and all sorts of stuff." "Sounds great! When do you start?" "I was supposed to start tomorrow morning." ₪> * * Mia awoke to the wonderful smell of David's coffee wafting up the stairway into the master bedroom. She languished a minute in the wonderful feeling there. It was still quite early, so dark outside, but she could still see some of the lights across the channel they lived near. The lights' reflections shimmered in the water's movement with the changing of the tides. It was so much fun to watch the water, especially its movement during tidal changes. Sometimes it looked more like a river as the water was funneled in a venturi effect from the vast Puget Sound into this relatively narrow inlet. She couldn't wait any longer and was just about to get up to get a cup of coffee when one appeared in front of her. She sighed and thanked the Universe once again for the way they had been able to meet each other. She knew some would call it coincidence, but she knew better. She reached up for the cup David had brought and gave him a loving smile. His return smile melted her as it often did, and she just let herself lay back into the pillows he had puffed up against the headboard and took a sip of the wonderful coffee. "A girl could actually get spoiled with such treatment," she cooed. "This girl should be and will always be spoiled." David walked around to his side of the bed, set his mug down on his nightstand so he could lay down next to Mia, and then took his cup, so they could share this coffee time together. "So big day today honey, are you sure you are ready?" "As ready as I am going to get. What ferry are we going to catch?" "We are shooting for the Seven-ten". Mia had been talking to the counselor and the nurse at the foundation, and both had recommended a surgeon in Seattle and she had also checked with her doctor in San Francisco who had heard wonderful things about him, so this morning was going to be her first appointment with him. She liked that David was taking the day off to be with her. It meant a lot, and she just really wanted him to be a part of this whole process. She knew the first appointment was more of an information gathering session, but it was still the first step in completing her transformation into womanhood. "Thank you so much for going with me today, it really means a lot." "I wouldn't miss it for anything, this is a big step, and I feel honored you want to share it with me." They reached over and kissed, a long, slow, tender kiss. Mia finally sighed and moved away. "I am going to have to get dressed if we are going to catch that ferry." They both got up and went into the large master bathroom, with sinks and mirrors for each of them, and a very large walk in closet at the end of the bathroom. It made dressing quite easy, at least for David. He just took the first thing he found and put it on and looked great in it. Mia always gave him a bad time, as she walked around, looking at all her clothes and shoes trying to decide what to wear. "You know honey, the end result of your intensive search always has the same ending. Whatever you finally decide to wear looks fantastic on you, and makes you look beautiful, since you are already beautiful to begin with." Mia groaned at his over simplified commentary concerning the trials and tribulations of her fashion decisions. They finally made it into the car and started on the short drive to the ferry terminal. As they neared the ferry dock, they could see the cars coming off from Seattle. As usual, there weren't very many, but one red mustang seemed to have a little problem. It pulled over to the side and a young woman got out of the passenger side door and walked behind the car moving her hands briskly over her lap area, as if brushing something off. As their headlights illuminated her, she looked up at their car for a moment. Mia looked at her and commented, "She looks like a young transgendered girl to me, I wonder if she is the one mom was talking about coming over this morning. But she looks like she's been in a prize fight or something, look at all those cuts, bruises, and bandages. I wonder what happened." "A very lovely girl," David managed as they drove by. ₪> * * Jonathan waited for Mindy to fill out all the forms to check out of the ER. As always, it seemed as if an entire forest had been ravaged to fill the paper needs for one simple check out. It gave him a little more time to enjoy her beauty, but also to go over all that had transpired from that night. He wondered at his feelings, and where they were headed. He had stopped, because that's what people are supposed to do when they see someone in need. He knew he certainly could have gotten back into his car and driven away once they had Mindy loaded in the EMT truck. But that thought had never crossed his mind. There was something about this transgendered girl that had caught his fancy. He couldn't really explain it to himself, but he figured he was enjoying being with her and taking care of her. She had a wonderful aura about her that almost sparkled with a hint of an inner joy that he would like to see more of. Finished with the mountainous paperwork, Mindy walked over to Jonathan. "A penny for your thoughts," she said smiling at his glazed eyed, lost in thought look. "You can have them for free, I was wondering if you would let me take you home. I don't know where or how you'd get there, but I would feel better knowing I got you home safely." "That is so kind of you, thank you Jonathan, but to be honest, I really don't have a home per se right now. Do you think you could drop me off at the ferry terminal so I can make it over to that foundation I was telling you about?" "Better than that, how about I drive us on, and drive you to this foundation to make sure you get there safe and sound. I don't like just dropping you off and having you be alone on that hour long ferry ride. I could get us some coffee and muffins while we are in line at the little stands by the holding area." "Really!? Oh Jonathan, that would be so wonderful! What about your job?" "I will call in sick, I have about a year's worth of sick time, since I never get sick" "That would be so wonderful of you." Jonathan helped Mindy into his car and they began the short drive down to the ferry terminal. As they began the trip down from Pill Hill, the area where a lot of the hospitals and doctors offices are located, Jonathan asked Mindy how she was feeling. Mindy was still a bit under the 'high' of the pain pills they had given her at the hospital and was leaning her head against the window looking up into the cityscape at night, in the rain. She came to a little bit more and noticed they were in the part of downtown where the main streets met at an angle. "Why do the streets bend like that right here in the middle of town." Jonathan laughed, "Funny you should ask that. Just the other night I Googled that question. It seems during the early development time of the city there were two main property owners and this was the property line. One thought the streets should follow the shoreline and the other thought they should run true north and south/ east and west. So they built their streets the way they wanted and met here at the property line, at an angle." "Wow, ok Mr. Historyman, that was cool, is it really true?" "I am pretty sure it was a reliable source." "Cool, do you ever imagine what it must have been like here during those times? I know one of the girls told me that one of these streets was where the term 'skid road' came from because they slid the logs down the hill to the water for the ships to take them to the lumber mills. The people that didn't have much money had to live by this dangerous area with logs flying down the hill." "Well, there you go, we both share an interest in history, that's a good start." They pulled into the ferry terminal, Jonathan paid at the window for car/driver and one passenger. He saw they had a few minutes before they would have to load on the ferry. "You want a cup of coffee and a muffin or something to eat?" "God a cup of coffee and blueberry muffin would be wonderful right about now." "Ok, there is a little stand over there, imagine a coffee stand in the Seattle ferry terminal holding area, go figure." Mindy laughed heartily at his little joke and Jonathan got out, making sure to lock Mindy in and went and got their coffee and muffins. He had bought muffins there before and knew they were amazing. He walked back to the car and could see the ferry docking. He got in the car and handed Mindy her coffee first. Then he pulled out a couple of large napkins from the bag. "You'll need these for the muffins," he winked. Mindy gasped when he pulled the first muffin from the bag and handed it to her. "It's huge! I've never seen a muffin like this!" "Wait till you taste it," Jonathan was too late as Mindy had already covered most of her mouth with muffin crumbs from her first bite. He smiled; she looked so cute, so small, holding this treasured muffin with crumbs all over her face. He reached over and lightly wiped them away with one of his napkins. They decided to stay in the car for the fifty-five minute ferry ride. They had a good time talking, telling tales of their earlier lives, both coming to Seattle from the Midwest. As the ferry landed and they were pulling up the main street towards town Mindy screamed for Jonathan to pull over as she had spilled coffee all over her lap. Jonathan looked for a place to pull over. As soon as he stopped Mindy jumped out of the car, running behind the back of the car, jumping up and down and brushing herself with her napkins wildly. She noticed a woman in a car passing by who was looking at her. Mindy recognized her from one of the pictures as Mia, the head of the foundation. Their glances met and held for that split second of a driving car passing a stopped car. Mindy got back into the car and told Jonathan. "Looks like a good sign to me." "Accept I am going to show up at their door with a huge coffee stain on my lap!" "I have a feeling they will be able to get past that." Jonathan followed the directions to the foundation house. They pulled up in front. There was a moment of awkward silence. Mindy finally broke it with her question, "Will you go in with me? Just to be there in case it isn't what they say it is?" "Certainly, I'd be glad to." They walked to the front door. It was so beautiful, an old oak door with carved designs and a semi-circle window on the top. There was an old fashioned knocker too, a brass one, so Mindy used it to knock on the door. A few seconds later the door swung open and an older woman, with a beauty and a youthful look, greeted them and when she smiled both Jonathan and Mindy knew they were in the right place. "You must be Mindy! I am Christine. Mia called me from the ferry saying she thought she had seen you. I am so very happy you made it. Oh! Pardon my manners, please both of you, come in. The house was wonderful; so much of the older material had been refurbished or replaced with like material. There was a very homey feeling inside. Mindy turned to Christine, "What in the world does the name mean, and how do you say it?" "ERAEW is pronounced however you want. We have sort of settled on "Err I" with the 'w' silent, like the p(ee) in swimming as David likes to say. David is Mia's soon to be husband and he has a really dry and sometimes quite strange sense of humor, but you will learn to like him." "I like him already," Jonathan said, "he sounds like my dad." "So back to my story as to what it means. Mia got her name mixing up the letters for I Am. So she thought she would name her foundation We Are. So it became that backwards." "Cool" said Mindy, "and by the way, this is my friend, Good Samaritan, and the man who just saved my life, Jonathan." Mia Mine Ch. 11 As Christine ushered Mindy and Jonathan into the main meeting room (which probably had been the living room), she finally mentioned all the cuts, bruises, and bandaging on Mindy. "Goodness my sweet girl, what in the world happened to you? You look like you've been through the wringer, twice." "The main pimp in the area took exception to me, my kind as he put it, being in the same area as 'his girls' work. He of course wants us to pay him for 'protection', but the protection should be from him." "They beat her up, and threw her from a moving car!" Jonathan added. "Good heavenly days! It sounds like you got here a day late my dear. I took the liberty of contacting the nurse who was going to give you a physical, check your blood levels and how you are doing on your HRT's. I imagine you've been buying them on the streets, and you never know what you are getting when you are forced to buy them that way. Anyway, she can give you a good look over. Her name is Wanda and she is over this way in the examination room," Christine told Mindy as she led her over to the examination room. She knocked on the door, then opened it. "She's here Wanda." "Hi, I'm Wanda, and I am going to give you your entrance physical. Oh my, you have had a tough go of it haven't you? Well, I can certainly check out the ER's work too, make sure there are no infections and change your dressings." "Wanda, this is Mindy, she had a bit of a run in with a pimp over in Seattle last night." "It was Pain wasn't it? I used to work in the free clinic downtown, and he kept us busy patching up all the girls and non-paying customers he bullied." Mindy nodded. "Well, let's get this show on the road, so we can start helping you build your new life and hopefully help you remove Pain from your life." Wanda chuckled at her own little joke. Mindy smiled a half smile, it had been years since she had been to see a doctor or nurse, and now within hours she was seeing one of each. She was hesitant a bit, for she was torn between wanting to get this started and running away from having this physical. "Jonathan and I will be right out here dear, getting to know each other, and we'll be here when you get out. Please don't worry, Wanda is one the very best." Mindy entered the exam room, closing the door behind her. "Would you like a little tour of the house while you wait Jonathan?" "I'd love it, it really looks like you have done a great job turning this old house into a wonderful environment. It looks like you have everything you need but there is still a very warm homey feeling here." "Thank you, Mia's old financial officer, Harmony, was in charge of all the remodeling and she is great!" "So, you've seen the main meeting/gathering room, and the exam room, follow me and I will show you the rest." Jonathan followed as Christine showed him the cafeteria, the kitchen, the classroom, and then she took him upstairs and showed him the bedrooms. "We wondered about having a dormitory style sleeping arrangement, but figured at first at least, we wont have that many guests, and most of these girls haven't had their own place in so long, it would be a real treat to keep separate rooms. I know they are small, but we made sure they all had their own window and enough space so they could decorate a bit themselves." Jonathan was very impressed and was pretty sure Mindy had made a wonderful choice. As they walked back downstairs past the classroom, Jonathan saw a large chalkboard with a huge circle drawn on it. There was one very small pie piece, and one just a little bit larger drawn onto the circle. "What is that?" Jonathan pointed to the circle. Christine chuckled, "Oh that is a visual I learned in one the myriad of seminars I have taken over the years. It's actually one of my favorites. It has to do with knowing. These girls have been thrust into a world that thinks it 'knows' them. So the girls think they 'know' who they are because of this. I want to show them the vastness that is available to them. See this first really small piece? That signifies what we know that we know. The second slightly larger slice is what we know that we don't know. Like we know we don't know how to speak a language that we haven't learned, or how to pilot a rocket ship, things like that. So, do you know what the rest of the circle signifies?" "Well, given the first two representations, I would have to say the huge piece is what we don't know that we don't know," guessed Jonathan. "Wow, you are something else, I can see why Mindy has that sparkle in her eye for you. Most of the time I ask that question I get blank stares, but you are absolutely correct, the largest piece of the whole circle is that which we don't know that we don't know. I find that absolutely invigorating myself, I have found that it scares some people, but I love the fact that we only know a minute amount of what is possible to be known. I find it exciting and it pushes me to learn more every day. I am so sure I will learn a lot here, from these girls who have been forced into a life I couldn't even imagine." Jonathan looked at this marvelous woman, smiling her beautiful smile and getting excited about the stuff she didn't know that she didn't know. What a concept. He felt an immediate closeness to this woman and he knew he had chosen the right path when he stopped his car to help a soul in need. ₪> * * David pulled onto the ferry, and they had decided they would stay in the car. Mia had said she wanted to go over a few of the things that may come up in the appointment they were going to. He pulled up close to the car in front of them until the ferry worker gave him the stop sign. He put the car in park, set the brake, turned off the engine and looked at Mia. "Ok, I see I have your attention," she smiled and reached over to give him a kiss on his cheek. "So, you might have noticed in our lovemaking, I have not been as shall we say 'forward'. They started to change the meds I'm on, giving me more of the antiandrogens to lessen the testosterone part of the mix, so my penis has actually shrunk a bit, and it hasn't become erect, even when I have been extremely turned on." "Yes, I noticed," agreed David, "I just thought you were preparing yourself to how our lovemaking will change with your change." "Does it bother you at all?" "Not at all, Mia, I have told you in many ways, it is you, the woman you are, and now the woman you will become, that I am in love with. I make love to and with this woman. It is not so much how we do it, but that we do it, openly, and with the passion and love we have created." "Mmmmm, I do so love hearing the way you put things." Mia giggled a bit, and let her hand roam on David's knee, rubbing lightly, and teasing, with hesitant little movements towards his thigh. "I am so happy with the way you are sharing all this with me. I think in so many ways now, I am happy I have waited, so you will be there with me through the whole change. I am a bit nervous and scared, but also very excited about all the possibilities. I have to say, I always dreamed that I would be sharing this with the love of my life." Her hand was running up and down his inner thigh now. "You are beginning to make it a bit difficult to concentrate on a conversation my dear." "Is that so, perhaps I should finish what I started?" David reached over to hug Mia, giving her a big kiss, to let her know his love and to let her feel that he would be with her through this whole process. Mia returned the kiss, tongues dancing, breathing heavy, fogging up the windows. She pulled away and began to rub his thighs in earnest. Finally feeling the fruits of her labor, she unzipped his jeans, pulled out the elastic of his boxers and pulled his now rigid penis out for hers and his enjoyment. She put the tip in her mouth letting her tongue skip along the under edges of the tip, then flicking the tip itself. Her hands were busy with his shaft and balls. She cupped his sac in one hand, gently squeezing to the rhythm of her tongue and other hand going up and down his shaft. David moaned and threw his head back into the seat's head rest. He had just barely enough control to reach down to pull the seat lever so it would slide back as far away from the steering wheel as possible, giving Mia more room. She sensed the movement and felt the extra space, moved herself a bit more so she could start taking his entire shaft in her mouth with each bob of her head. She started ever so slowly, letting him enjoy the sensations, but cry out for more. As her head movements increased, so did his moans. He started jerking a bit back and forth in his seat as he tried to thrust himself into her mouth. A couple ferry workers strode past the car, and noticed the car moving, hearing the moans, and seeing the windows were now completely fogged up, "Why is that when I don't get any the night before I almost always see some guy getting his nuts off in here?" They both chuckled and walked on down the car deck. Mia had gone into hyper drive with her mouth now, and she could sense David was getting close. She slide her mouth up one last time and held the tip tightly in her mouth letting her tongue keep flicking. As she was still holding his sac, she could feel the beginning of his eruption and pulled back just a bit to receive his load full on in her mouth. One final thrust and David held himself tightly to her shooting load after load into her wanting mouth. Mia drank his seed in with gusto and let her mouth cover his now spent penis, loving the feeling of him going flaccid again while in her mouth. "Ok, that was totally incredible and I must say unexpected," David managed to croak as he began to come down from his toe rattling orgasm. "It was a spur of the moment thing my darling, and I thought how wonderful it would be to bring you into the Doctor's office sporting that wonderful satisfied grin of yours." "Well my love, satisfied is an understatement, you continue to amaze me, what a wonderful thing." "That feeling is shared darling, you never cease to amaze me too, with all you do for me, all you care about, and all that is you." They kissed again, a long, tender kiss, that lasted until they felt the engines slow and the ferry shake a bit as it prepared to dock. David had to start the car up a little earlier than he was supposed to, to run the defrost so they could at least see to drive off the boat. They both actually had satisfied grins as they held hands waiting to be able to drive off. ₪> * * Christine had brought Jonathan back to the main room, just as Wanda was letting Mindy out of the examination room. "Everything seems in order," said Wanda, "I got enough blood to run her levels, so the Doc will be able to adjust her meds. I think we need to work on her diet, get her some more proteins, fruits and vegetables. But no major problems that I can see. I will run her samples over to the lab so when the Doc gets here he'll have all the information he needs for his full exam." Mindy looked a bit overwhelmed, she was not ready to be poked and prodded like that, but had given in to what Wanda did. Wanda had told her she had her SRS about 10 years ago, and when she heard about this foundation made sure she hand delivered her resume to Christine as soon as she was accepting them. She had told Mindy how excited she was to be able to help the younger, troubled TG girls. She had seen so much pain and confusion when she worked in the inner city free clinic. She had always wanted to help more, but there was never the time or the staff to do so there. This foundation had it all and she was so proud to be accepted to be a part of its beginning. Listening to Wanda gave Mindy so much hope. She thought to herself, 'this could be the real deal after all.' "Ok Mindy, we have some time before the doctor is scheduled to be here. How about doing something fun? I think it is time to get you some new clothes. We can't start out your new life with you wearing those clothes. David and Mia told me of a little store in the middle of town that has wonderful clothes and gives a portion of their profit to a worthy cause to help women in need." Mindy looked down at her now ragged low cut blouse and torn tight shorts. "But, but I don't have any money," she stammered. "Oh honey, don't you worry a tiny bit, the foundation will cover three outfits for you. New clothes and a new look is so very important when starting out on a new life adventure. We can give you the doctors and nurses and all the tests we have to get your body into shape, but nothing can bring a girl's spirits up like some wonderful new clothes." Mindy looked up at Christine, who looked so happy; it was almost like she was the one getting new clothes. "I can drive us if you want," chimed in Jonathan. "I have a little errand to run anyway, and I saw the store that I need to go to on our drive here. I can drop you off at the dress store and be back in a few minutes." "Mindy, is that ok with you?" asked Christine. Mindy smiled and nodded her head, so the three of them headed out to Jonathan's car and began the mini journey to town. He found the store quite easily and there was even a spot right in front for him to drop Christine and Mindy off. They said their "see you soons" and the girls walked into the store and Jonathan drove off. The store he wanted was the brand of his cell phone service. He had seen the miserable excuse for a cell phone that Mindy had, and he knew he wanted to talk to her more, even when he was back in Seattle. He was a very frugal person at heart, so when there was something he wanted to splurge on, he had the funds to do it. He found the store just a few blocks from where he had dropped the girls off. Once again he found a parking spot right in front, thinking to himself what a treat to be able to be "downtown" and find parking right in front of the store he wanted. He parked, got out, locked the car and went in. In no time at all, he had found a great deal on both a smart phone with tons of options and a tablet with a keyboard it could be docked in so it could be used as a laptop. He put them both on his account, and increased his data plan to more than cover what he thought they would use. He had the sales girl go ahead and load up everything and get it ready, so all he had to do was to let Mindy know the password and she would be ready to go. He thanked the sales girl, and loaded up Mindy's new toys and got back into his car. He reached into his glove compartment, found the flash drive he was looking for, and loaded some of his pictures onto Mindy's tablet, hoping she would like them, and have them make her think of him. He smiled to himself, wondering again about all these feelings he was having for this transgendered girl he had just met. He cut his musing short and drove back over to the clothing store, once again treated to a parking spot in front. He walked into the store and just a few steps in, stopped dead in his tracks. There before him was a vision of pure beauty. Mindy had not noticed him and she was happily turning around in front of the three sided mirror system admiring herself in the beautiful outfit she was wearing. It was a fairly simple blouse, of light pink color, with a tight brown skirt with a very light pattern in it that almost danced as she twirled herself around. The outfit was topped off with a pair of knee high leather boots, tan in color and very attractive. Mindy had a smile that just lit Jonathan to his core. He was so happy to see her smiling, so free, so open, so herself. Christine was laughing merrily and clapping her hands. Mindy did another full twirl and stopped when she saw Jonathan standing there watching her with the most wonderful smile she had ever seen, and she felt so warm, for she knew the smile was for her. "So, what do you think?" Said Mindy with an exaggerated hand on hip pose. Jonathan stood silently for a few seconds, searching for the words to try to explain what he was thinking. "You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!" Mindy stopped her pose and ran over to him, wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. "Thank you so much for saving me, and caring for me. What started out to almost be the death of me has turned into the absolute best day of my life!" Christine and the sales clerk stood there smiling at the wonderfully warm scene in front of them. Jonathan felt something inside he hadn't felt for such a long time. He realized the loving closeness he had shared with his brother/then sister had been missing from his life ever since he had lost her. Mindy had reopened that doorway into his heart, his soul. He hugged her as tightly as he could without hurting her, and kissed her on her cheek too. "Me too Mindy, and let's have many more of these days together, ok?" Mindy pulled back from the hug a bit, to look into Jonathan's eyes to make sure she heard what she thought she had. His eyes shone with a brightness, a deep kindness that brought her in. She felt her entire body tingle with a warmth and safety she didn't know existed. "Oh, yes please Jonathan, many, many more!" Christine finally interrupted their touching moment, she didn't want to for there were actually tears welling up in her eyes she was so happy, but she had to make sure they finished shopping and were back at the foundation in time to meet the doctor. Mindy had already picked out two other outfits, new bras and panties. She asked Christine if it was ok if she wore the outfit she was wearing. "Of course sweetheart, they are you new clothes, your new look for the new you." Christine beamed with pleasure as she saw the look of a child on Christmas morning in Mindy's face. They walked over to the counter, Christine paid with the foundation credit card while the sales clerk wrapped everything up and handed the bags to Jonathan. The three happy shoppers walked back out to Jonathan's car. He unlocked the car, put the bags in the trunk, and took out his gifts for Mindy. The girls had already gotten into the car when he slid into the driver's seat. He handed his bag to Mindy and said, "Another little something to help your new life, and for us to be together." "What did you do Jonathan?" "Take a look." Mindy looked inside the bag and let out a squeal of delight as she pulled out the new smart phone, tablet and keyboard. "I saw what you were using as a cell phone, and I want to be able to keep in touch with you, so I wanted to get you a new one, and then I saw this deal on the tablet and keyboard and couldn't resist them. You have been added to my account, so we can talk anytime we want now." Mindy was beyond happy, and she was at a loss for words. She leaned over and gave Jonathan a tearful kiss on the lips. "I don't know how to thank you Jonathan." "Yes you do, cause you just did," smiled Jonathan. Mindy played with her new phone on the short drive home, laughing happily as she discovered each new option and app on the phone. She loved that Jonathan had already loaded his number into the speed dial option. ₪> * * David and Mia arrived at the doctor's building and found a spot in the parking garage. They rode the elevator up to the tenth floor, hand in hand, still with faint smiles on their faces. They followed the arrows for room ten thirty two. It had floor to ceiling tall, impressive doors that opened quite easily. The office was very nicely decorated, not ostentatious at all, but comfortable and inviting. The receptionist greeted them immediately and told them the doctor would be ready for them in just a minute. They would be meeting in his office, not an exam room, for the first part of the appointment would be discussing the steps toward the surgery. "This is the time for all your questions, so don't hold back," smiled Mia Mine Ch. 11 Carolynn, the receptionist. "Thank you Carolyn, I do have quite a few things I would like to cover." Mia reached into her bag and pulled out her little notebook she had written her questions and concerns in. David smiled, "Always prepared, my love." "Well I told you I tend to get a bit scared and intimidated by doctors, so I didn't want to forget anything." Mia had a very serious look now. David leaned over and kissed her knitted brow, "That's why I am here my love, to help and support you." Mia managed a smile and squeezed David's hand. The doctor himself came out to greet them and lead them to his office. "Please have a seat in front of my desk Mia, and I assume this is David?" "Yes Doctor." "Ok, I am Dr. Perinowski, and I will be the one in charge of Mia's surgery. Now I know we have changed your meds, Mia, so you should be very close to ready for the surgery, at least physically. We will find that out after this meeting, for I will take you back to the exam room afterwards for what should be your final pre-op exam." David really liked the Doctor's demeanor, very knowledgeable, forthright, but very caring as well. Traits that it seemed harder and harder to find in the overbooked, overworked doctors' offices these days. Mia started in with her questions. "I wanted to make sure my electrolysis was enough, for I have read I can't do any more for quite a while after surgery." "Yes that is true Mia we can check that in the exam." "How long will I be in the hospital?" "I say two weeks, but each patient recovers at her own rate." David listened intently as Mia asked her questions and the Doctor answered each one completely and with compassion. He reassured her she would be able to orgasm, talked about the complete restructuring process. After Mia's questions were all answered, he took out her file to make sure all the necessary pre-op steps had been handled. Even though most of Mia's work had been done with her Doctor in San Francisco, all the files and notes from her medical and psychological history were there. "Well Mia, I'd say everything is complete. All your pre-op steps have been completed, and I must say, you are one of the most 'ready' patients I've had the pleasure of working with. I have no doubts you are ready and this is what you really want. Let's go into the exam room, and let me do the final physical and we'll get you scheduled. David, please wait for her out in the reception area." David gave Mia a kiss and walked back out into the reception area. Carolyn smiled as he entered, "Everything go ok on there?" "Yes, the Doctor is giving her the final physical and then we'll be scheduling the surgery." "How very exciting, thanks for the heads up, I'll start going through his schedule now." David sat down and picked up a magazine, only to drop it back down. His mind was too busy going over how his life had been so totally changed, all because of one ferry ride home. He remembered vividly the first time he saw Mia, and how taken he was with her immediately. He thanked the Universe, once again, for creating this beautiful creature, and allowing him to meet the woman who was his soul mate. He thought of all they had been through in the relatively short time they had been together. How they were such a great team, and worked through all the difficult times using their strengths and energies as one. He knew he had almost given up on finding a relationship that he had dreamed of. He remembered thinking perhaps it was only in dreams, books, and movies that this type of complete sharing existed. He gazed out the window to see the sunlight glimmering off some of the surrounding building's rooftops, the morning dew illuminated in the morning's rays. Mia was his sunlight, illuminating his soul. ₪> * * The happy shoppers pulled in front of the Foundation house, only to be greeted with the sight of the Foundation's van with all four tires slashed, and black spray paint on both sides of the van demanding "tranys go home!" Jonathan saw it first and tried to pull into the driveway so Mindy wouldn't see the mess, but it was too late. Mindy gasped loudly and in a split second, her mood fell into the funk she was used to. "Well, by the spelling I can see we are dealing with a real mental giant here. Mindy dear, please don't let this ruin your mood. We'll get to the bottom of this attack and make sure we are protected. Besides, you are not a "Trany", even when that word is spelled correctly I don't like it at all. And the other, and most important thing is, you are home dear, this is your home and you belong." Jonathan marveled at the way Christine handled the situation, reached over to take Mindy's hand in his and give it a squeeze as he looked deeply into her eyes, "Christine is right Mindy, you are home. There are now people who care deeply for you, and will help you and protect you." Mindy smiled and knew she was falling for Jonathan. She loved the feeling of having him hold her hand while looking so deeply into her eyes. She felt he could look deeply into her soul and she had the distinct feeling he liked what he saw. That made her feel better than any new outfit or electronic toy. She smiled, squeezed Jonathan's hand and said, "Thank you Jonathan, and thank you Christine. I do feel like I'm home, and I love that feeling." As Christine finished her call to the police to report the vandalism, Jonathan got out of the car to walk around and make sure the vandal was no longer on the property. He did see a spray can tossed into the bushes and made a mental note to report that to the police when they showed up. There was no sign of any person around the property, so he helped the girls out of the car, had them help with the bags, but to walk behind him after they entered the door. He had them stay by the open door, and he walked through the house to make sure no one had gained entry. He was relieved to once again find no one, and went back to the doorway to let the girls know the coast was clear. Christine took Mindy up to her room and asked Jonathan to watch for the police. It wasn't long before he saw the patrol car pull up and a policeman got out looking at the vandal's bigoted work. "Do you live here?" he asked Jonathan. "No, just visiting, I walked around the property and found no one but I did see a spray paint can over in those bushes over there." He pointed to the area where he had seen the can. The policeman went back to his car for his gloves and picked the can up by the sides of the nozzle and put it into his evidence bag. "I bet we'll get some fingerprints from this, good work son." The policeman stared at Jonathan for a bit and then asked "what are you doing at a house full of transsexuals anyway?" Jonathan didn't like the tone or the question itself and began walking back to the house. Over his shoulder he said, "let us know if there is anything else we can do to help your investigation." Jonathan knew full well where this investigation was headed, but hoped there was at least someone in the crime lab that would give the evidence an unbiased look. As he walked into the house, he heard the tail end of Christine's call to the local tire shop about getting some new tires put on the van. "Well, hopefully that will get everything in motion. I've called the insurance company, the tire place, and the local independent security patrol. I have set it up for them to patrol our street on a twenty four seven basis. I feel so badly for Mindy, she was on such a high, and then to have this happen..... poor girl. Why don't you go up and check on her? She's in the first room I showed you." Jonathan thought that was a good idea and bounded up the stairs, got to her door and knocked softy. "C'mon in," he heard softly from inside. Mindy was laying on her bed looking at his pictures on her new tablet. She looked up and smiled, "did you put these beautiful pictures on my new tablet?" "Yes, I wanted you to have something to remind you of me when I can't be here with you. I actually took all those myself, and wanted to share them with you." "Wow! That's even cooler still! These are like professional quality, they are all so beautiful! Thank you so much, you are quite the photographic artist Jonathan." With that she got up from the bed to stand closely in front of him and looked longingly into his eyes. "You know Jonathan, you keep showing more about you, and each new discovery about you makes me care even more for you. I am kinda scared, that I am starting to have feelings about you, that you might not have about me." Jonathan reached his hand out and softly caressed Mindy's cheek, "I am having those feelings too Mindy, and although it is a bit scary for me too, I am enjoying them, and being with you very much. I feel a peace within myself when we are together that makes me want more, to learn more about you, and to be with you in an even closer way." Mindy let her face feel his caress, gave in to the pleasure it created and even moved her head in a way to caress his hand with her cheek. There was a tear falling from her eye, "I want to be as close to you as we possibly can." With that she kissed him, so softly at first, but then she felt him stir, and their kiss became completely passionate. Their bodies meshed together, hands freely roaming the other with exploratory caresses, learning every part of each other. ₪> * * Mia came out of the back room door, all smiles. "The Doc says everything is a go!" "That's great Mia, Carolyn here is already working on scheduling your surgery." "Hi Mia, so glad everything is a go! The Doctor has a free date for your surgery on the Twentieth, that's ten days from today, will that work for you?" Mia glanced at David, who was smiling and nodding his head, "the Twentieth will work great for us Carolyn, thank you." Carolyn gave Mia all the necessary pre-op literature and instructions, quite a packet actually. Mia took it and thanked Carolyn again. "Now please do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions or concerns before the surgery. Otherwise, we'll see you at Six AM sharp on the Twentieth." Mia placed the pre-op file into her brief case and took David's arm, "take us home please sweet man of mine." David laughed and added "my pleasure M'Lady, home it is and shall always be." They set off to the elevator, their moods also elevated. Mia could not stop the smile on her face, and David could not stop smiling with her. "That was certainly a wonderful appointment. I really like your Doctor, his manor and knowledge mix are just right." "Oh me too, and I heard such wonderful endorsements about him from my Doctor in San Francisco. It's still a fairly small group, so word gets around about who is good and who isn't." "Well, only the best for my lady." Mia's smile faded a bit as her mind remembered the haunting phrase...... "Lady at Last" ₪> * * Jonathan sat and checked his email while he waited for Mindy to get out of the exam room with the Doctor. This exam was due to last a bit longer, and Christine had told him she had things to get ready so he would have to be on his own for a bit. After seeing he had no real pressing email problems, he let himself think about what was happening. Here he was, getting involved with a transgendered girl he had helped after she had been beaten and thrown from a moving car. He wondered about his feelings, and wondered if he was gay. He let those feelings out of his head, for he had seen nothing but the most feminine attributes and behaviors from Mindy. Like his brother turned sister, she was a girl, a woman, who just happened to have been given male sexual organs in the dice roll that is genetic makeup. He remembered the long talks he had with his brother then sister. How the process of first realizing nature's mistake had taken form to actually trying to right it and fully become the person she truly was. Jonathan remembered all the turmoil and soul searching his sister had to do until she finally came out. He remembered how happy she was when she was actually able to dress and be the woman she was, how free she felt. He also remembered all the hatred and bigotry she had to deal with, starting with their own parents. His Mother was the easier of the two, but it was still a chore to get her to realize it was not a prank or a type of rebellion, but an actual state of being. Their father, on the other hand, oh man, he was beyond difficult. Jonathan remembered the yelling, the threats, the sheer hatred he had seen on his own father's face. It had taken long, detailed and heartfelt discussions by all three of them, to finally convince him his 'brother' was actually a woman. As his sister progressed in her transformation, their father came to grips, and his intellectualism took over from his hysterical emotionalism, and he actually apologized for his behavior. Jonathan knew that meant a lot to his sister and gave the courage to go on and fight all hatred and bigotry that was in store for her. Jonathon admired her for all her strength. But he now wondered what had happened for her to go so quickly and deeply into depression enough to take her own life. He knew there was love, or love taken away, as the main cause, but he had always felt a gnawing sensation inside that there was something else, something she hadn't told him, something he hadn't seen. This scared him a bit about his feelings for Mindy, for there were certainly going to be some severe hurdles they would have to face as a couple, and we wondered at his own strength and ability to clear those hurdles. ₪> * * Mindy came out of the exam room, and Jonathan noticed something different in her right away. There was almost a scowl on her face and she really didn't look at him, but it felt like she looked through him. Something had happened in the exam that had brought her into a different place. Perhaps it was the entire day wearing on her. After all, she hadn't gotten any sleep, and Jonathan was starting to feel the effects of the lack of sleep himself. "Jonathan, I really want to thank you but I think it is time for me to get some rest. It would probably be good for you to get back home so you can get some sleep as well. You have to go to work tomorrow and I don't want to be responsible for your lack of performance due to hanging out with me. Thank you so much for saving me, taking care of me, and all the gifts and help you have been. I never could have made it through today without you." With that she gave him a peck on the cheek and headed up the stairs to her room. Jonathan was stunned, just stood there staring at the stairs she had just climbed. He felt a soft arm around his shoulder, turned and saw Christine standing next to him with a knowing, but concerned look on her face. "It will be ok Jonathan, Mindy needs some time to process everything. She is pulling away from you right now, she feels she needs to. Let it go, let her have her space as they say. If it is meant to be, she will come back around. You are a wonderful, caring, and understanding young man, and you are going to have to use all those qualities and more to get through this period with her. I have to stress that it is really important for you not to try to force anything at all on her right now, for she will pull away. I have seen this before, and many times they come out of it knowing they have pushed away the love of their life and will try to come back. But you have to let her come to that point on her own. I wish I could give you more, but this is the best I can do. I will give you my cell number, so call me if you have any questions or want to see how she is doing. Don't give up if she doesn't answer or return your calls for a while. You are in that old adage space of "let her go, if it is real she will return". Jonathan thanked Christine and gave her a hug after she had him load her number into his phone. He walked almost zombie like out to his car and headed to the ferry to get back to his apartment in Seattle to think all this through. As he drove, he had to keep shaking himself out of his musings at what he had seen from Mindy, and heard from Christine. He couldn't make himself confident Mindy would return. His heart ached. Mia Mine Ch. 12 Note to the reader: As you can see by the numeric chapter, this is part of what has grown into quite a series. If you haven't read rest of the story, I strongly suggest you start at the beginning and follow the story to this major point in Mia's life. Just a suggestion, of course, but I think it would be well worth your efforts. I want to thank Josie and Dreamweaver for all their support, guidance, editorial mastery and pushing me on to finish this work of love. ***** Mia felt herself breathing, it was dark, she wondered if her eyes were closed. She was in a fog, "where am I?" she thought. Then she could see an outline in the fog. She realized the outline she saw was her! She was running in a meadow, but it was still too foggy to see completely. She started seeing sparkles of light and figured the sun must be working its way through the clouds. She could see herself a bit better and noticed she was naked. Running free and naked in a beautiful meadow, her head thrown back, her arms thrown back and running without a care in the world. Oh how wonderful the wind in her face, in her hair felt. She could see herself smiling, but for some reason she couldn't feel the smile. Suddenly, ahead she could see another outline. It was a man, with his arms held out to her. More sun broke through the fog, and she could see it was David! He too was naked in this wonderful meadow, running towards her with his arms out for her. Oh how the sun sparkled in his smiling eyes. His entire face was now lit up in the growing light. His smile melted her, and she felt her body, every inch of her, wanting this man, her man, and she continued her bouncing run to him. She felt herself gasp, as the sun now had lifted all the fog and she could see herself clearly now and was so happily surprised with what she saw. Well, it was what she didn't see that pleased her so much. She no longer had a penis, and she saw a freshly shaven, beautiful vagina. She chuckled as she could see the little drips of moisture as the sight of her naked man running to grab her had already made her wet. She looked up at David again, to see his penis proudly standing at full attention for her. It too seemed to glisten with some sort of lubricant, and she felt herself now running full speed towards her love. As she reached him, his arms held out for her, she jumped right at him, he wrapped his arms around her, she wrapped her legs around him. The kissed deeply, passionately letting all the love they had move freely through their lips and flickering tongues. Mia tried to loosen her legs just a bit so she could slide down David to meet his now raging cock with her new and fully moistened pussy. She could feel David's arms lower to hold her ass and guide her to her promised land. Suddenly she could feel the hardened tip at her pussy lips and she slid even further. A gasp escaped her as for the first time, she felt her lover's manhood enter her now fully woman's body. Oh, the joy, the completeness, the wondrous melding of two into one. She felt she wanted to stay just like this forever. As she started to become more accustomed to the feelings and felt herself open herself fully to him, he began to thrust. Oh, the power of the thrust was taken in by her and given back again as she raised and lowered herself on him. And then, she could feel the wonderful beginning of an orgasm. She thought she heard herself say "yes, yes, I am cumming". Then the world opened up in a crashing sense in her mind, yes the world opened up to the Universe and she felt she knew herself, why she was there, and what a beautiful thing it was to share lovemaking with the man she truly loved. She started to laugh out loud, but OUCH! That hurt! Wait a minute, what the hell is going on here? She finally realized she was not in a meadow, not running naked, not making love, but in the hospital bed. She could feel her arms and hands but that seemed to be about all. She could sense her body in pain, but really couldn't feel it. She started to cry, but then felt the pressure on her hand. She slowly turned her head which was a chore with all the things attached to her face, mouth, and arms. She realized her eyes were still closed and with much effort she slowly lifted her eye lids. There before/beside her was her man! She knew it was him, she sensed him more than saw him, for her eyes were still not focusing very well. Then she heard that beautiful, strong but sensitive voice, "Welcome back my love, my beautiful woman." She felt his strong hand squeeze hers again, so softly, but it sent wondrous shivers up and down her body. His light kiss to her forehead was so tender, so loving, her eyes began to water. "The doctor said everything went astoundingly well, he was quite pleased with his work and assured me that we would be as well. Once again he said you are by far his best patient. I do think I could hear quite a bit of pride in his description as to how well the entire process went." Mia wanted to smile, but the oxygen tube was still taped to her nose and mouth, so she couldn't say anything. She just squeezed his hand back and tried to give him her most loving smile with her eyes. "Well, I see someone is awake. Welcome back Mia, let me get some of this stuff off you and get you into a more comfortable position. Now, here is your button for the pain med, just push it and it will travel into you from the intravenous tube in your arm." Mia waited while the recovery room nurse removed much of the apparatus from her, undid the oxygen tubes, and raised the top part of her bed a bit. She felt the pain starting to increase and pushed the button. "Would you like to suck on some shaved ice?" Mia nodded, as she wanted this busy bee to go away. After she left, she was able to look over at David, still standing at her side, still holding her hand. She tried to speak, but no sound came out so she mouthed a slow, long "I Love You." "Oh I love you so much too Mia, it was so hard waiting outside while the surgery was going on, and I had to really fight my way in to the recovery room, making all sorts of promises. I just had to be with you, and wanted you to know I was there for you while you awoke from the heavy anesthesia." Mia mouthed "Thank You" and saw that the nurse had brought a small cup with a little bit of shaved ice. She took a few of the shavings and let them melt on her tongue and run down her sore throat. After doing this a couple times she felt she could try to talk again. "How long have I been out?" "All tolled, several hours honey." Mia looked down, and ran her hands over her pelvic region. There was a lot of bandaging and ice packs under the light blanket and her gown, and she really couldn't feel her touch. She looked up again at David, who was still smiling that wonderful, caring, loving smile. "Now the real work begins, to get you going." It wasn't long before she was signed out of the recovery room and rolled back into her room. She was amazed at all the flowers and balloons that decorated the room. David saw her look, "Wait till you see who sent you best wishes, you will be both touched and surprised. But let's get you settled and see if you want to take a little rest." He could see her push on the pain button had started her to begin slipping away again. Mia smiled, loving that her man was taking care of her so well in her hour of need. It was something they had both learned about each other (and themselves) that to make a great couple you have to let the other do things for you, and not feel self-conscious about it, knowing that the favor would be returned ten-fold. ****** Mindy knew she was screwing up. She thought of Jonathan often, and always with love. This frightened her to no end, as she was so scared that her love would push him away. She wasn't used to having so many good, no, wonderful things happen to her. She could not get past her old reaction of waiting for the hammer to fall, ending all that she thought was good, and sending her back to that oblivion she had found herself living in for so long. She had all but forgotten all the threats from Pain, saying he was going to get her if she didn't pay him his cut for her work before she left. She had thrown herself into all the work that had to be done once she got into all the things the foundation could offer. She was amazed at how well organized Christine was, and how well they had put together a network of professionals to help at every step, and at every level. They had taken care of getting her name changed, which was really a lot easier than Mindy had thought, but they had people everywhere that knew what had to be done and how to do it. They got her birth certificate, and everything else needed, the lawyer did all the work pro bono, and she was now legally Mindy Burke. With the help of the psychiatrist that helped the foundation, she had her driver's license sex changed to female. That was such a huge step for Mindy and she could not believe how wonderful all these people she was meeting were. After she got the court order for her name change she was able to get a new Social Security card with her new name on it. She could now go into any job interview or college entrance program without having to suffer through all the hassle at best, and downright mean spirited hatred as the norm. She was beginning to feel like a 'real person- dare she let herself- a real woman'. She had enrolled and been accepted at the little four year school in town, and was waiting for spring quarter to start so she could begin school. She had gotten a part time job at the dress store she loved so much. They were happy to have her there and her energy and quick learning made the owners very happy to have her on board. They even had her model some of the new spring arrivals and her pictures were uploaded onto the store's website. She loved the talks and lessons with Christine that covered the entire spectrum of life itself, but especially life as a transgendered person. She was beginning to realize she was learning how to feel comfortable in her 'own skin' and was gaining confidence every single day. This both overjoyed her and scared her a bit. She spent so much time now with people doing things with her and to her, that she just didn't feel like she wanted to be with Jonathan right now. She felt safe, knowing he was still there, still calling, still texting, still sending her his amazing pictures. She felt bad about not returning his overtures with enough passion, but she just didn't feel ready. She remembered her conversation with the nurse on her first day. She had told her that her meds were now going to be the full dose possible, and they would be administered correctly and completely. She was told this could very well affect her emotional state, and she should be ready for this major change to start. She had a long talk with Christine about it, and was relieved to hear that this was actually quite common, and she would make her way through it. But Christine also told her she was going to have to be open and up front about this with Jonathan. ****** Jonathan was trying to hide his aching for Mindy with extra work. He had seen in his company's listings that they were going to be starting a new web based information and search engine type program. He had noticed it because he had seen where they were going to be using a lot of photos. He jumped at the chance and put his resume in to be considered for this new direction for the company. He was excited when they called him in for an interview and got his portfolio together, putting some of his most prominent and favorite shots together in a large art carrying case he bought just for the occasion. The interview went more that well, for the leaders of the program could see his IT background with the main company, and his very talented work with his cameras and editing software actually made him not exactly what they were looking for, but to be one of the heads of the new venture. Not only was he going to be able to work at his true love, he was going to be getting a considerable pay increase as well! He couldn't wait to get home to call Mindy and tell her the good news so he called her from his car on the way home. As usual, she didn't answer so he left her a voice mail and told her to please call as soon as she got this message because he had some really exciting news he wanted to share with her. He hung up, feeling that horrible feeling that had been plaguing him lately with Mindy's cold shoulder treatment. He wanted so badly for her to be happy for him, as he had been for her for each new step she had taken. He found himself daydreaming of their first night, and how he had seen her partially naked body. He could feel himself growing hard as his mind's eye brought back the lovely picture of her with her top and bra off, standing there as he helped her off and then later, on, with her pants. He remembered her pert little breasts, and how hard her nipples were as they stood out for him. He knew it was probably the cold emergency room, but hoped they had hardened because she was showing them to him. He tried to get his thoughts elsewhere without success until the Bluetooth phone rang through his car's radio. It was Mindy! "Hi Jonathan, sorry I missed your call, and I sure do want to hear your news. I also want to see you and have a talk with you. Is there any way you could come over soon?" "Sure! I am changing jobs so I am going to get a week off starting next Monday, so I could come over Friday after work, get a motel room and stay for the week if that would work." "Great hon, that sounds wonderful, I have missed you so much and I think I have as much wonderful news to tell you as you have to tell me. Let's leave it until we are together to share it ok?" "Ok Mindy, that will work, although I feel I am going to burst before that," Jonathan chuckled, although there was some truth to his little joke as well. "Text me what ferry you are going to be on Friday so we can start planning our "date". "Will do! Bye for now sweet one." Jonathan loved the sound of hearing her say "date". ****** David had swung it so he could stay the night, next to Mia. It was a little uncomfortable sleeping in the chair, but it wasn't too bad, and it beat the alternative of being away from her. He loved that he could be there when she woke up, which was several times during that first night. It was difficult for her to get used to having a catheter and she always had to be reminded it was ok to use it, for she was still not to get up and disturb the stent and her stitches. He knew it was easier for her to hear that from him, and the look in her eyes when she could look over and see him there was simply priceless. Mia felt the same way, for she would awaken with a start many times, and to be able to look over and see David's peaceful face asleep, next to her, with his hand right there that she could hold was her greatest medicine. ****** Christine had worked out a way to come over to be with Mia after her surgery. She had swung a deal with Jonathan to pick her up at the ferry dock and drive her up to the hospital on "pill hill". Jonathan arrived a little early and had to wait, all the while thinking of his upcoming "date" with Mindy. When Jonathan saw her walking to his car across the street from the ferry terminal, he was taken aback at her beauty. He had never really looked at her, for every other time in her presence she was talking, and her intelligence, wonderful sense of humor, and beautiful dulcet toned voice had made her seem so beautiful to him. But as he saw her walking to him, he could just focus on how physically beautiful she was. Her long pure white hair, framed such a youthful, beautiful face. Her continuous smile was infectious and added to her beauty. But just seeing her walking, her piercing blue eyes shining in the sunlight, he could tell where Mia had gotten her good looks. He had seen pictures of her on Christine's desk and had actually followed her as much as he could on all the articles he could find about her on the internet. In some ways he felt he already knew Mia, and was certainly impressed and amazed at all her accomplishments. He could only imagine the "wars" she had to get through to do almost anything, let alone start a multinational software company. He hoped that the foundation would put some of that type of confidence back into Mindy. He just knew there was a beautiful, intelligent, and vibrant woman waiting to flower from inside the frail little girl he had picked up out of the curb. "Hi Jonathan!" Christine's greeting with her infectious smile was simply wonderful. "Hi Christine, so wonderful to see you again, and I must say, you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever had the honor and pleasure to meet." "Woah there Jonathan, don't try your lines on this old lady, I have seen and heard them all." "I'm sorry, it wasn't a line, just the truth, I had never seen you without being in a conversation with you, so as I watched you walking to the car I actually got a minute to see and appreciate how beautiful you are." "Thank you Jonathan that was very kind, I knew you weren't feeding me a line, I was just pulling your leg, and actually trying to deflect your praise a bit, I'm not quite used to it these days." "That's a shame, you should be getting praise on a regular basis, all the wonderful work you are doing, plus being such a beautiful woman, inside and out." "Ok, ok, Jonathan, that's quite enough now, thank you very much but we need to change the subject here," Christine's smile looked like it had a hint of sadness to Jonathan, so he didn't press on any further. "So here we are, and it looks like there's room here in the main parking garage." Jonathan maneuvered the tight turns inside the multilevel parking garage until he found an open spot. The car parked on the right had really missed his spot a bit so Jonathan let Christine out before he pulled in. They walked in silence for a bit, found the elevators and got up to the eleventh floor, as Christine had said Mia was in room eleven twenty six. They found the room, opened the door slowly and peeked inside. David turned around to see them and gave them the 'hush' sign, and quietly walked to the door to meet them. "She's asleep right now, so we should talk out here for a bit, and go back and check in a little while." "How's my beautiful future mother doing?" David said as he picked Christine up giving her a big hug. "David, put me down, good lord, right here in the hospital hallway!" He did as he was told and they both had a laugh together. Jonathan could see and feel the love the two had for each other, and the ease and openness they displayed it. He was a bit jealous and hoped something like this would be in his future, for it looked and felt so wonderful. "Everything went extremely well according to the doctor, I think he is very proud of his work, which Mia and I really appreciate. She is still having quite a bit of pain, and they still have her hooked up to the pain med drip so she can self-medicate. We should go back in a check in a little bit." "David, I want to introduce you to Jonathan. Jonathan is our first foundation guest Mindy's friend. He basically saved her life, picked her up literally from the gutter after being beaten and thrown out of a moving car by the main pimp and his gang over here in Seattle. "Jonathan, this is David, Mia's fiance." The two men shook hands. David knew he liked the young man right away. There was a no nonsense directness in his demeanor. Not overly aggressive but obviously comfortable with who he was. *** Jonathan knew he liked David right away as well. There was something about him that reminded Jonathan of a cross between his father and grandfather. There was a kindness and openness in this man that just by shaking his hand and looking into his eyes was made very evident to him. He could also feel the self-assured strength in the handshake. Mia Mine Ch. 12 *** Christine smiled as she saw the two men shake hands, and could sense a real beginning of something she hoped would be able to grow. "Christine, why don't you go and take a look to see if Mia is awake, I don't want her to awaken alone. Jonathan and I can stay out here and get to know each other a bit better while you get some alone time with your beautiful daughter." Christine blew David a kiss as she crept into the room. Once she was gone, David turned back to Jonathan and smiled. "Pulled her out of the gutter did you?" "Yeah, it was weird, I had worked late and was not watching the road very well and this big Lincoln in front of me all of a sudden just slowed way down. I almost rear ended it, but noticed the passenger door open and something being thrown out. When I realized it was a person, I had to stop. I called 911 while I ran to see if I could do anything. I just covered her because I was afraid she could possibly have a neck injury, and held her hand and tried to talk to her." "Well, you are a very kind person Jonathan, I know a lot of people would have just kept on driving. You should be very proud of yourself." "I feel I was paid ten times over for helping, because I got to meet and be with Mindy." "Did you know she was transgendered?" "Not right away, but I found out when I overheard the medics talking." "I hope you don't mind me prying Jonathon, but I am just interested. When I first set my eyes on Mia, I had no idea. She told me quite early, but by then, I had pretty much already fallen in love with her as a woman, so it really didn't faze me. It did sort of surprise me about myself and I was just wondering how it happened with you." "I got sorta educated about the transgendered life by my older brother, who became my older sister while I was still in middle school. I had idolized him most of my life, and still did when he became the woman he always felt he was. I guess being that young and having so much love already, it all just came almost naturally to me. I lost her a couple years ago, and it hurt me so much. She told me of all the hatred and bigotry she had to deal with on almost a daily basis, and my heart really went out to her. I was the only one she could really talk to, so I learned a lot about how difficult it is for the transgendered, especially in the early part of their transition." "Oh I know, Mia told me just a few of her horror stories, and my God I got so pissed off I wanted to deck someone, anyone." Jonathan smiled, yes his first impression of this man was correct and he felt a real bond with him. *** David smiled back, and was pleased to see his first impression of this fine young man was true as well. *** "So I guess we are quite similar in that I too, fell for the woman I saw in Mindy right away, and my feelings for her seem to grow every time I see her now, and see how she is growing in so many wondrous ways. But I am very concerned because she has been a little stand offish lately and I don't really know what to make of it. Christine told me it is quite common for young tg girls to go through some major emotional changes as their hormones and bodies go through the transition. I know Mindy had been using mostly street meds and I'm sure those were less than designed for her. Living at the Foundation and getting real meds prescribed by a doctor is really accelerating her transition, so I can certainly understand there would be some emotional changes that would be hard to deal with. Just getting her off the streets and into a place where everyone wants to help her rather than harm her is hard enough to get used to for her." "I can believe that, some of the stories Mia has told me about her early transition were quite incredible. I hope things work out for you Jonathan, I can see you are a good man, and it would really do Mindy a world of good to have you at her side." "Thanks David, that is very kind of you, I appreciate it very much. I have to admit to being a little down during this time where she wants to keep to herself. But I keep trying to tell myself she is going through a wonderful process right now, a very large growth potential, and if we are meant to be, we will be together." "I like your style Jonathan, and I am sure Mia when she recovers would love to help you anyway we can." While they gave Christine and Mia some precious mother daughter time, the men kept talking out in the waiting area. Jonathan was telling David of his new job beginning the week after next and how he was going to stay at a hotel for the week he had off so he could be closer to Mindy. "So you are going back over tonight?" David asked. "Yes, I am taking Christine back and then checking into the hotel. Mindy and I have a date to talk about things later this evening." "Well, look, I am going to be staying here with Mia at the hospital for quite a few days to help her recover, why don't you stay at our house?" "Oh, thank you, but I couldn't do that." "You could and you will, if you don't agree to me, I'll sick Christine on you and you don't want to see her in her 'persuasive' mode." David laughed, "and if Mia found out I didn't offer you our guest room, man, she'd be after me with both barrels, so it really would be you doing me the favor!" The two men got all the particulars down with the address, directions, keys, and some of the tricks of the house. David told Jonathan where the guest room was and told him he would have to go shopping for anything fresh for they had cleared out all the fruits and vegetables that could go bad before they left for the hospital. Christine popped her head out of Mia's room to call them in. As they entered the room, Jonathan was taken aback at Mia's beauty. Even in her 'just out of surgery state' she was quite radiant. Jonathan told David he was a lucky man. "I thank the universe every day for bringing this beautiful woman into my life," was David's response. "Hey, you are going to make me blush you two, stop it!" cried Mia. David could see that Christine had helped her with a little makeup, just a touch, and her rest and seeing her mom had brought a lot of her color and energy back, it was so good to see. "Hon, Jonathan was saying he was going to be starting in a new position at his job in two weeks and was going to be staying over in town to be close to Mindy next week at a hotel.." Before David could finish, Mia broke in "I wont have it, he can stay in the guest room at our house, it would be nice to have someone there looking after things while we are over here." David and Jonathan simultaneously broke out into laughter. "What the hell is so funny you two?" "You didn't let me finish, I was going to tell you I had offered the same thing to Jonathan." Christine jumped in with a warm hug and that wonderful smile, "Great Jonathan, we can go back over together tonight. The Foundation is really quite close to their house, so I can help you with settling in. Have you told Mindy you were coming over?" "Yeah, we talked earlier, I was so excited to tell her about my new job, and that I had a week off and that I wanted to spend it over there, to be close to her. She told me she had some great news and wanted to meet for a "date" and have a talk." "She'll be overjoyed to hear you'll be staying at Mia and David's house, she loves it." David held Mia's hand as the two of them smiled as they listened to Jonathan and Christine making plans for the ferry trip. David loved seeing the excitement in Jonathan's face and hoped that all would go well with him and Mindy. Jonathan had a ferry schedule in the back pocket of his jeans, and they settled on the one they were going to catch. He then texted Mindy with the news as he had promised. She texted right away and seemed absolutely thrilled, and asked if they could pick her up before going over to the house. Jonathan checked this with Christine who thought that would be a wonderful idea, and he texted Mindy back with the time to expect them to be at the Foundation. ****** Mindy started getting herself ready as soon as she got Jonathan's text. She loved the excitement she felt at being able to see Jonathan again. She had been doing a lot of soul searching as she had begun to come to a manageable equilibrium with her body and emotions in her med regimen. She realized she really wanted Jonathan in her life. He was worth the risk of getting hurt again, and she wasn't going to let the old ghosts of all her previous problems with relationships get in the way of seeing where this one would go. She put on her favorite black, tight skirt that showed off the new shape in her hips. She loved the feel of the fabric and how it accented her hips and ass. She chose her favorite lavender blouse to go with the skirt. The silky sheen of the lavender was wonderfully set off by the darkness of the skirt and the color went well with the makeup she chose. She let herself laugh a bit as she had to hold her hand while putting on her mascara. She was so excited and nervous her hand was shaking a bit. She finished her preparation and was pleased with her little spin in the mirror in front of her. She grabbed her jacket and ran downstairs to await Jonathan and Christine. She couldn't wait to see Jonathan's reaction to seeing her in her outfit. She had learned so much about fashion and makeup while working at the little dress shop, and getting the employee discount really helped in building her new wardrobe. She could feel her heart pounding as she sat waiting impatiently. Jonathan and Christine enjoyed each others company on the ferry ride. They talked with ease about what Mia would be going through in her recovery, what a great couple they made, and how much Jonathan enjoyed getting to meet both of them. "They are quite a pair aren't they?" Christine asked with pride. "They sure are, I find myself being both very happy for them, but also a little jealous of the depth of their love." "I can see where you could feel that, but give yourself a chance. I have gotten to know Mindy pretty well in the time we've been together at the foundation, and I think you are going to be a bit surprised and happy in the changes she has gone through. She is a very hard working girl and has a lot to offer. She is just beginning to realize that about herself and gaining some needed confidence. It is a tough time in any young woman's life, but especially for a transgendered girls. I say girls because there is a major maturity problem with so many. In a way they are always 'little girls' inside because they were never allowed to mature as females, they never had a female childhood to experience and then grow and mature from the child to the woman." Jonathan listened intently to what Christine had said. He thought it through and realized not only how caringly intelligent she was, but how there was so much truth in it. He had never really gotten that point but was really moved by how hard that must be to get over as a young transgendered girl strives to become the woman she dreams of being. "I shared some of what I learned about those hardships from watching my sister's transformation with David. He is so understanding and is so easy to talk to. What was it like for you helping Mia through her transformation?" Christine filled the rest of their trip telling Jonathan about how hard it was fighting off the feelings of helplessness while trying to help Mia. She told of all the information she had learned and all the help she had gotten so she could be more support for Mia, but there were certain things that no one could really help prepare another for. She couldn't say enough about how proud she was of how Mia had worked her way through so many battles and how she had made such a wonderful career. But she had always had a pang of sadness, feeling that Mia needed love in her life, as well as her career. She finished by remembering the sheer joy she had when Mia told her she had met someone, and how she knew it was something special. Just as she finished, Jonathan had pulled up into the Foundation's driveway. He loved the smile he saw on Christine's face. But before he could even get his door open Mindy came bounding down the walkway to the driveway, her face alive with a huge smile. He loved that smile even more. ****** Mia and David settled in for a low key evening. David decided to order from the hospital kitchen so he could eat in the room and not have to leave Mia while he went down to the cafeteria. Mia picked a little at what they had given her, David devoured his long awaited meal. "You must have been famished, you haven't eaten all day!" "Yes, it was funny, I didn't notice how hungry I was until the food was in front of me. Sorta pigged out a little, hope it wasn't too ugly." "I enjoyed watching you eat, and just enjoy your being here, next to me. You know, you were a large part of the reason I finally decided to have this done." "I will take that as an honor my dear, if I had anything to do with you finally completely becoming the woman you always have been inside, I am proud to be a small part." Mia just smiled and reached out for his hand, she slipped back into another little cat nap, while David held her hand. Watching the tv while Mia slept, David noticed an advertisement for an exclusive interview between Diane Sawyer and Bruce Jenner. They were making quite a big deal about his agreeing to talk of his decision to finally start his transformation into womanhood. When Mia awoke he told her the premise of the show, and they both decided to watch it. While it was on, they were both a bit quiet, almost riveted to what they were seeing. When it was finally over Mia started with, "Well, I suppose it is a good thing to have all this publicity and get out some actual knowledge about what it is like being transgendered. I do fear a bit that we will all be thrown into a large group that society can put in an orderly way and feel they know "transgendered" now. I hope there is some understanding that this is just one person's story, and it is so different from what most of us had to go through. It is just like everything else, we are individuals, with our own beings, thoughts, dreams, visions, and goals. We can't be lumped into a neat little package that society thinks they now understand." "I agree honey, and although I could never be known as a Kanye West fan, I thought the quote Bruce used about his reaction was wonderful and fitting to your fears, 'He says to Kim, 'Look, I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful daughter in the world, and I have that. But I'm nothing if I can't be me. If I can't be true to myself, it doesn't mean anything.'" "You are so funny, yet it is so wonderful how you remembered that, and found it to be so important. Being true to one's self is definitely at the very core of positive existence. I love you so much David, you have helped me be true to myself from the very moment I met you, and I feel you have been true to yourself about me and our relationship also from the very beginning. I am so blessed to have you and your love." David leaned over to give Mia a kiss to seal this beautiful moment. She gasped a bit as she felt his tears land on her cheeks as he kissed her. She could not remember a moment in her life that was filled with so much love, joy, and being as one with another human being. She knew she would treasure this moment forever. ****** The drive to Mia and David's house took only five minutes from the Foundation House. Christine had jumped out of the front seat so Mindy could sit next to Jonathan, and the three chatted merrily for that short drive. As Jonathan pulled into the driveway, he noticed his headlights had lit up a For Sale sign on the house next door, and thought to himself, 'hmmm, could be a sign'. Christine and Mindy gave him the royal tour of the house, showed him the guest room first so he could dump his bags. They checked to make sure there were clean sheets on the bed and were satisfied at their finding. They showed him the guest bathroom, got the fresh towels and wash cloth out of the hall closet and got him all set in there. Then they took him through the Master Suite, and he was taken aback by the lovely view of the water, as it flowed quite quickly through the little inlet they lived by. He loved seeing the ripples of the water illuminated in the lights from the surrounding houses on the opposite shore. "Must be a tide change by the speed of the water going through the inlet. This is just fantastic! I would love to have a room like this with such a wonderful view. There is something so peaceful about seeing the movement of water and the lights that flicker on the waves." Mindy just smiled and put her arm around Jonathan's waist. She pulled herself as close to him as she could as they both stood there letting the wonderful view envelope them and take them to a beautiful and serene place. Christine broke the moment though, "Alright you two, let's get back to the rest of the tour so Jonathan can take me back to the foundation and you two can be alone together, finally!" Jonathan and Mindy didn't need any more than that to get them moving. The two ladies showed Jonathan where just about everything was and how everything worked. "I think I have passed the crash course in house sitting, so Christine, if you're ready, we can head back to the Foundation." They drove the short bit back to the Foundation and David and Mindy got out to walk Christine to the front door, when they all turned their heads towards the street as they heard the horrible sound of tires squealing. They saw a huge white Lincoln skid around the corner towards the house. Then the added sound of tires squealing again as the car skidded to a stop right in front of them. The back passenger door flew open and before any of them could even make a move, a body was thrown out. Then the sound of tires squealing again as the Lincoln thundered off at maximum speed. All three of the astonished bystanders got their wits back at the same time and all went running to see what or who had been thrown out of the car. As they approached Jonathan heard Mindy scream "Vivian!! What have they done to you!!" Jonathan had already gotten his cell phone out and was telling the 911 operator the story of what had just happened, complete with a description of the car and its license plate. He had remembered that he hadn't gotten it the night he found Mindy and swore he would never let that happen again. As he approached Vivian he told the operator they were going to need an aid car or ambulance for the young woman was badly beaten and unconscious. He did not, however, tell the operator about the cardboard sign that hung around her neck. Mindy was beside herself, on her knees trying to hold her friend. Christine had run into the house to get some blankets and hot water and towels. They did their best to clean and cover the poor unconscious girl. Jonathan warned against trying to move her, for they didn't know what kind of neck, back, or interior injuries she might have had inflicted on her, and they shouldn't move her in fear of aggravating any such injury. Finally the aid car came, soon followed by a police car. The medics jumped out of their rig and went right to work. They checked the vitals and did a thorough once over and decided it would be safe to move her onto their wheeled stretcher to get her over to the patient end of their truck. The slid her ever so gently into the space in the back, and then hopped up to get busy with even more thorough work. They kept Mindy out of the truck, and Jonathan had to hold her trembling body close to him. Christine wrapped blankets around all of them as the policeman came to take their statements. Jonathan had talked Mindy into giving the policeman the cardboard sign that had been strung around her neck. The message was clear and frightening. Mia Mine Ch. 12 "This is all on you! You owe me big time Mindy, and you pay up or more of your kind will be thrown at your feet." It was no mystery who was behind this horrible act. Pain had finally put action to his earlier threats. He was well aware of Mindy's remarkable turnaround after leaving the scene, his scene, and he was pissed as hell. He didn't want word to get out to the 'girls' there was a safe haven for them to actually become vibrant and involved women in the 'real world'. Mindy's communication with several of the girls had become known to him. She was really trying to get as many as she could over to the Foundation so they could get started on their new and wonderful lives, away from the daily horror they lived in. She was trying to take away some of his money, and no one, no one, did that. The policeman had turned away and was talking to someone on his communications device. They overheard a "Great!" as he turned back and walked back over to them. "Luckily these Seattle guys don't realize how small we are over here. Thanks to Jonathan's heads up play of getting the license plate, we got the car and the three thugs inside are now on their way to the city jail to be arrested and booked." Mindy was elated until she gave Pain's description to the cop and he checked with his dispatcher and none of the three that were arrested fit that description. "Shit, he just sent his minions, didn't make the trip himself the sleazy bastard." "Just how much do you 'owe' him Mindy, and why?" "Well, even though he wasn't officially my pimp, he said I worked in his territory so I owed him a cut of all my liaisons. The amount will change if I give him anything. Right now he's probably talking about two or three grand. But if I pay him that, he will say oh no, that's just the start and it will go up to five, ten, who knows." "My God! So you can't even pay your way out of this, it will just keep growing and being more?" "That's the world I came from, that's how it works. They win, I lose, and nothing I can do can make it stop." Christine jumped into the conversation. "Let's just see what the police can do to track down this Pain fellow and try to find a way to link him to this disgusting act. But I am also going to call David too, for I know when Mia was having her trouble with her ex business partners and then her father, he mentioned knowing some private investigators who were ex Marine's and were very good at getting to the crux of a bad situation, and getting their objective either incarcerated or as they say, just plain gone." Mindy was at a loss, the medics had told her it would do her no good to go to the hospital right now. Vivian was in very bad shape and was going to be in emergency surgery right away and then probably in intensive care. It would be hours until there was any news. Jonathan tried to console her as best he could. He tried to entice her into going to get a bite to eat to forget about the horror they had just encountered. She finally agreed, halfheartedly at best, but she supposed it would be better than sitting for hours in a hospital waiting room. Christine agreed and told them to go, she would take care of the rest of the investigation questions, and anything she couldn't answer Mindy could fill them in when they sent an actual detective by. So Jonathan and Mindy went to a restaurant right by the water and the ferry terminal. It was nice, had great food and service, and a wonderful view of the water and the little dock and moorage section. As they sipped at their wine Mindy finally broke the silence. "So are you going to tell me the news you thought you wouldn't be able to keep quiet about or what?" Jonathan loved the smile she used when she spoke to him, it made him feel she just might feel the same way about him as he felt about her. "Well, I was not too busy at work one day and was looking through the company website, when I saw they were accepting applications for a new search engine type of feature they wanted to try, and saw they were planning on using a lot of photos within the site. So I applied, and they not only wanted to hire me, they want me to be a part of the department heads in charge of the photo work! I got a huge raise and next week off before I start on the new adventure." Mindy was speechless at first, taken aback at how wonderful Jonathan's news was. She quickly gained her voice and shouted "That's incredible! I know you are going to do a great job and you'll be doing what you love! That is the best news I have heard and it couldn't have come at a more needed time." She got up and reached for him to give him a huge hug and plant a wet kiss on his lips. Now it was Jonathan's turn to be a bit surprised, but he too regained himself quickly and thanked her for her wondrous support. "So tell me your news too, I want to hear what has been happening to you to explain all these wonderful changes. You are looking more beautiful than ever, radiant really." Mindy blushed and began to tell Jonathan about all the things the foundation had been able to do for her. "And with all their help, with my name change and sex change on my license, I applied as my new legal name at the local college and will be starting taking classes this coming spring quarter! I was even able to get into a painting class so I will be able to start painting again." They chatted about all the new things coming in their lives as they tried to eat dinner. But Mindy just couldn't get Vivian out of her mind. "I'm sorry, I know they said we wouldn't be able to talk to her for several hours, but I just can't seem to relax. I feel I should be there for her, for after all, it's all my fault." "Now just hold on there, it certainly isn't your fault," Jonathan broke in rather sharply, making Mindy jump back a bit in her seat. "Sorry, didn't mean to get so loud, but I just can't sit here and let you say what happened to Vivian was your fault. I think people like Pain, the pimps of the world actually have some sort of an inner hatred of women. Then throw in transgendered women on top if it and they feel they have every right to be any way they wish, violent in his case. It is so ironic, for someone in such a socially unacceptable role, to use undue social disapproval of a certain segment of persons as their ticket to inflict as much pain and suffering they can to these poor people." "Yes, but if I hadn't told all the girls about the foundation, and paid him what he said I owed him, Vivian wouldn't be in emergency surgery right now." "That may or may not be true, who knows what he is capable of and how he would treat her or any of the girls at any time. He is blaming you to make you feel guilty, when it is he who is really the guilty party here, in so many ways." "I suppose you're right, and thanks for trying to make me feel better," Mindy said in almost a whisper with her head looking down at the dinner she had only poked at. "Ok, I can see you won't be at ease until we are at the hospital, let me get the check and I'll take you over there right now." Jonathan waived at the waitress and made the sign for the bill, she nodded and began working on it for him. "Thank you Jonathan, I am sorry, I didn't want to spoil our date, but this has been such a horrible thing. It's just like I am used to thought, just when I think things are going to get better or be right for a change, BAM!, down comes the damn hammer. I guess I just don't have any right to feel good about myself." "Hey, stop it Mindy! I am not going to stand by and let you downgrade yourself. Shit happens, bad shit, to everyone. It isn't a sign that you don't deserve the best, it is just the way things work, we take the good, the bad, and work on each the best we can." Mindy reached and took his hand as they walked out of the restaurant. ****** Back at the Foundation, Christine thought again about the detective that had come after the kids had left. "Detective Robinson" she said softly to herself. She remembered the little spark she felt as they brushed hands together as he gave her his card while introducing himself. She hadn't felt anything like that in such a long time. It felt good she thought and smiled and almost instinctively brushed her hair with her hand. She shook her head, a little angry with herself for letting those thoughts and feelings get in the way of the business at hand. She picked up her phone and called David and told him of the evening's event. She told him she remembered he had mentioned some private detectives that could do "special work". She had shared her thought that this might be a little beyond what the police would be able to do. "I'll make a few calls and get right back to you," he said in a stern voice. He had taken his phone with him out into hall when Christine had told him to so after he answered her call. He was glad he had, for he certainly would not want Mia to see the look on his face and in his eyes right now. He walked around the halls and made a couple of calls. He was able to get through to a couple of his friends and they were both interested in working on the job and would make their way to Seattle and look forward to hearing all the details. David walked around a little more taking deep breaths to try to calm himself down. This was the last thing Mia needed to hear right now, and he didn't want even a trace to show in his demeanor when he returned to the room. Luckily, Mia was peacefully asleep, so he got into his chair next to her, took her hand in his, and tried to get some rest. ****** Christine was pacing in the main room of the Foundation. She was worried about Vivian, but was also worried about Mindy. She knew Mindy's new found confidence was fragile at best, and knew her tendency to think the worst about herself was still just a wheatie flake away from the surface. She hoped Jonathan was helping her, and was pretty sure he would be. She liked him a lot now and he impressed her more each time she got to see him. He had shown a kind heart and a loving intelligence. His understanding of the plight of transgendered girls was impressive and she knew it came from his heart, from the love he had for his sister. She kept trying to think of something she could do and finally decided to take the detective's card out and give him a call. "Detective Robinson here, how can I help?" "Yes, Detective, this is Christine Shaw from the Eraew Foundation, you just helped us with that poor girl beaten by those thugs and thrown out of the car in front of our house." "Yes, of course, how can I help you Ms. Shaw?" "Christine, please, I know you've arrested the three thugs that committed this horrible act, but what kind of protection can we expect from the police for our house in general, but for Mindy specifically? I know of this Pain guy from stories Mindy has told me, and he is one scary and seemingly very powerful bad guy. I know you have just a small town budget for the force here, but are we going to be able to get more protection here or am I going to have to hire some extra help?" "I can only advise you of what I and the force can do Christine. I can't advise you about getting your own help. Yes, we do have a small town budget, but all of the dispatchers are, and will be aware that our patrol car's rounds will include several passes by your Foundation during every shift. I can't offer any twenty four hour surveillance or anything like that. I think this Pain fellow will be a bit surprised that his men were apprehended, and I don't think he will be doing anything in the near future. I have been in contact with the special prostitution unit the Seattle force has in place. They are very well aware of his power and his resources. The three men we caught are low down on his chain of command so I don't think he expected much from our force. But thanks to your young man, the description and plate number mixed with the few streets here made it pretty easy for our guys to get them." "I imagine they'll have them bailed out in no time," mused Christine. "Probably so, but we will escort them to the next ferry and make sure they get on it." Christine smiled as she thanked Detective Robinson "thank you Detective I hope to see you soon, er, so we can talk more about the case." Christine was surprised by her forwardness. She found him rather attractive in a different sort of way and was happy she felt that way, for with all the work and concentration on the Foundation, her personal life had taken a very back seat lately. She remembered how much she liked the sound of his "phone voice" so powerful yet with a hint of kindness in it. She thought it might be fun to see him socially. Detective Robinson was stunned by Christine's remark. "Why yes, um, I was going to come to see you to get more details about the case. Well you and the young lady he threatened". He tried not to let it show how much her remark had affected him. He too had let his personal life wane, and was a bit shaken by this beautiful woman saying she hoped to see him soon. He cleared his throat (again) "perhaps tomorrow after my shift?" "That sounds wonderful Detective, I will look forward to it, and l will also let Mindy know." ****** Jonathan and Mindy were sitting in the hospital waiting room, silently, as they awaited any news about Vivian. Jonathan had tried to start a conversation a couple times but Mindy was not in the mood to talk. She did reach for and grab his hand and had been holding it since they sat down. The head duty nurse had promised to let them know of any news at all about Vivian and assured them all the doctors involved in the case also knew they were quite anxious to hear. They both turned their heads every time an elevator door opened or they heard footsteps in the hallway. Finally Mindy broke the long silence. "You know, I was working so hard with Vivian, for her to get her shit together and apply to the Foundation. I bet that's why Pain took it out on her, cause she told me she was just about ready. I just get so fuckin pissed at what we have to go through. It's so hard to get a "normal" job without proper ID. You can't imagine how incredibly uncomfortable and basically downright embarrassing it is to go into a job interview as a woman, but if they ask for your ID which is all male, you can't imagine the response we get. That's why so many end up like we did, working the streets. And then, you get beaten within an inch of your life when you try to get out of it. What a world we live in." Jonathan sighed, "I'm right there with you Mindy, but things are changing, look at Mia and how far she's gotten. There are so many transgendered girls and women coming out and speaking freely, or at least more freely. The word is going to get out and people are going to have to accept change." Mindy smiled, Jonathan's constant optimism was one of her favorites of his long list of traits that had swung her heart. She just looked at how concerned he looked, his honesty and care were so prevalent in his face, and she knew, in his heart. 'I love this man' she thought. Before she could say anything, a young doctor was talking to the head nurse and they saw her pointing their way. They both jumped up and walked over to him. "I'm Doctor Winthrop and I hear you are friends of Vivian?" "Yes Doctor! How is she doing?" "Well, there was quite a bit of damage, but luckily there was no major internal damage. She was beaten pretty severely and has a concussion. We also set her broken arm and dislocated shoulder. She has a couple of cracked ribs, and a bruised kidney. Since there wasn't major internal damage, she wasn't put under as deeply as we at first thought we would have to. So she also won't have to stay in intensive care. You will be notified as soon as she is moved from the recovery room into her hospital room and you'll be able to see her there." "Thank you Doctor! How long do you think she'll be in the recovery room?" "I don't think more than forty five more minutes or so, but the nurse knows to alert you as soon as they begin to move her." Mindy sighed a huge sigh of relief. It seemed like forever, but finally, they were shown into Vivian's room. She was quite heavily bandaged, had her arm in a cast and her shoulder was strapped to her chest. She managed a little smile when she saw Mindy. "Oh Vivian, I am so, so sorry. I had no idea what was going on with Pain, and am so sorry he took it out on you." Mindy was crying as she bent down to kiss Vivian's cheek. "Hey, it's ok, the doc says I am going to be fine. Do you think I can just go right into the Foundation after I get outta here?" "I wouldn't have it any other way, there is no way I would let you go back over there after all of this. I'm sure Christine is probably getting your room ready right now. You deserve the best care and that is what you'll get there. I can't even list all the wonderful things they can do. You'll love it and I'll love having a friend there with me too!" "So, this must be Jonathan?" Vivian asked with a little lift to her voice. "Yes, Jonathan, this is Vivian, my very best friend." "Nice to meet you Vivian, I sure wish it would have been on better terms, but I agree with Mindy, you'll love the Foundation and Christine. They'll have you up and around and building your new, exciting life in no time." Vivian's eyes gave Jonathan the slow once over, "Man Mindy, this guy is definitely a keeper!" Both Mindy and Jonathan blushed. Mindy and Jonathan both jumped a bit at the officious tone of the nurse entering the room. Nurse Villeneuve by her name tag, was a rather plump woman with a sort of jovial face that was completely overridden by her take charge voice, "Ok you two, it's time to say your good nights, this poor girl is going to sleep for the night, so we're going to have to ask you to leave." "Don't worry, she is in very good hands, and I will personally make sure she is given the very best care. My heart goes out to her, for no one should be treated like this." Her jovial face turned very warm and Mindy knew Vivian would be in good hands. Mindy walked over to the bed and bent down to give Vivian a kiss, "Ok Viv, we have to go but Nurse Villeneuve has promised to make sure you are given the very best care. We'll be back in the morning, luv you!" "Thanks for everything Mindy" she turned and looked at Jonathan, "you take good care of this girl, she is the best!" "I know, I think so too, good night Vivian, it was nice to meet you, and we'll see you in the morning." Vivian gave Mindy a little wink and a smile as she waved with her one good arm as they left the room. "Amazing how they were able to patch her up so well, she looked so scary when we first saw her," Mindy mused as they walked down the hall. "You sure have spent your time in hospitals today, I'm so sorry about all of this. I just want to thank you again for being with me Jonathan, you can't believe how much having you with me means to me." "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else Mindy, you have become such an important part of my life now, and I hope an even more important part." "You certainly know how to get right to a girl's heart, Jonathan. I feel so lucky that I didn't lose you during my little "weird period" adjusting to all the effects of the hormone changes and the emotional roller coaster the new meds brought on in me. I have to tell you, it took some getting used to. It sure made me wonder about what was in the street drugs I was taking, it must have been mostly baking powder or something, because I never went through anything like what I have been going through with this new regimen. There were times I didn't want to be with me let alone try to be with anyone else, especially someone I care for as much as I do you." "Thanks Mindy, Christine sorta gave me a little explanation about what you were going through and to try to give you some time to adjust. She told me you would be talking to me about it when you were ready. I do have to say it was hard Mindy, I got to know how much I care for you though, missing you so much. But I do have to say, even though the emotional changes were difficult for you to go through, the physical changes are remarkable. I was attracted to you right at first, I saw something inside you, a spark if you will. But the subtle changes to your body and the radiance in your demeanor now make you absolutely gorgeous!" Mia Mine Ch. 13 Note to dear readers. As Mia's story comes to a close, I want to give my deepest gratitude to those who have expressed their appreciation for this story. I have to admit, when I wrote what turned out to be the first chapter, I had no idea David and Mia would take me on such a meaningful and thought provoking adventure. I was amazed at how well the story went over, and the comments both public and private were so rewarding (most of them). So a simple try in a category I knew a little about, turned out to be a catalyst for learning and trying to relay some of the horrible treatment most all transgendered people have to endure just to survive. Mia also brought me many friendships here that I now cherish. Even though this is purely a work of fiction, and all the characters imaginary, one has to wonder, if we can dream this can happen, we can make it happen. Thank you to all who have enjoyed Mia, and for sharing your thoughts. ₪* * * *₪ In the three months following the end of Chapter 12, Mia returned home with David, Jonathan and Mindy became a couple, and Jonathan decided to buy the house next door to Mia and David. Vivian moved right from the hospital into the Eraew Foundation, and eight more of the girls from the streets had moved in. Christine was happy to have the house filling up, and happy that she had begun dating Detective Robinson. As we rejoin David and Mia, they are busily planning their wedding. "It has to be by the water!" Mia huffed. "Ok, ok" David smiled, enjoying her intensity. "By the water it shall be, I know of a couple of wonderful places not far from here, I can take you there right now if you want." "Great, thank you, I would love to see them." David and Mia got their jackets on and walked out to the garage, got into the car and began their scouting trip. David hadn't even completely backed out of the driveway when Mia started again. "You know why it has to be by the water don't you? It's because we met on the water, on the ferry. We were supposed to meet on that trip, and we did, and look where it has taken us!" "You know, it so good to see your spirits and energy back up again my dear. I love how you think and how you express your thoughts." Mia smiled at her husband to be. "I wish I could fully explain how this feels. I don't think I have my own mind completely wrapped around it, but every day things just seem to be getting better. I love you so much for being with me through all of this, the surgery, the recovery, the therapy and just everything. You were always with me, and that is so important." "You are my world my wife to be. The things I see in you are truly amazing and beautiful. You are my life, I want you at my side from now on till forever. We are together, a team, so I will always be there for you, just as you will be for me." Mia's eyes filled with tears of joy as she looked over at her philosophical man. Her tears made her eyes glimmer in the street lights and David was taken aback, once again, at her beauty. Suddenly he had to push hard on the brakes, "Geez, I got so lost in your beauty I almost missed the turn! The first place I wanted to show you is right down at the bottom of this road. As they wound down the narrow road cut through the pines, Mia could see glimpses of the water shimmering in the light of the almost full moon. They finally got down to a little park. David tried to park the car on the backside of the parking lot so he could shine his headlights on more of the park. He kept them on as they both got out of the car and started walking hand in hand. "It's a bit rustic, but I have heard of a few people attending weddings here and they said it was beautiful." Mia looked around, and saw a covered area with a lot of picnic tables inside and imagined them all covered in cloth and full of food and drink. She could make out a little built out dock that had a long walkway to a large semi-circle area at the end of it. It was built out far enough she imagined to always be over water no matter how low the tide got. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and imagined sharing her vows with David out at the end of the dock, the water glistening in the sun, friends and family surrounding the happy couple. "I love it," Mia purred as she snuggled up closely to David. "Well, this is just the first place, I have two more we can look at. One is close enough we can check it out tonight, the other is a little further and we should look at it during the daylight. Actually we should look at them all in the daylight, so there is no doubt in our minds as to the best place for us." "Take me away kind sir, I am enjoying the trip very much so far." They returned to the car and retraced the drive up the narrow little road. "Now the next one isn't actually on the water, but it is on a ledge overlooking the water, and the view is fantastic!" David turned right off the beach road and onto the main road again. They traveled for about twenty more minutes, Mia talking of the wonders of the first place the whole time. This time, they turned onto a regular street, and in a short while, into a very large parking lot. There was a large building at the end of the parking lot, and once out of their car, David led Mia around the side of the building to the front. As they turned the last corner, Mia gasped as she saw the view that the building had. A sweeping view of the water, the islands and inlets, and in the distance the glow from the lights of Seattle. "This is beautiful!" Mia managed. "Yes, but it is a little more commercial. It is a community clubhouse that they use for meetings and parties, but soon realized it sat empty more than it got used. Someone had the bright idea to rent it out for weddings and other large functions and to use the money for community upkeep." "That sure was smart, and besides, we'd be ok if it rained on "our day". Mia walked around, peering into the windows trying to get a view of what the interior looked like. The small night lights didn't provide a whole lot of light, but she got the general idea. And since they were coming back during the day, she knew all her questions could be answered on their next visit. "Two totally different, but beautiful in their own way choices you have shown me. I do love the way you think. Thank you for this, I needed to get out and be in the fresh air again. Too many hours in recovery and therapy have me starved for this." David reached over to hug her, and they kissed in the moonlight, overlooking the water. ₪* * * *₪ "I wonder where David and Mia went," said Mindy. She was in one of the smaller upstairs bedrooms that she and Jonathan had made into her "office". A place where she could do her school work, keep her books, and have her large drawing and painting tables, easels, and accessories. She had her desk in front of the window so she could look out and see the water, and Mt. Rainier when it was clear. She had all but formally moved in. She spent many nights with Jonathan, and he made it clear it was "their" house and she was welcome, and wanted, to move in completely as soon as she was ready. She loved having her place in their house. Jonathan had the other smaller room for all his photography equipment. He had gotten a large capacity desktop computer with three large monitors. He had gotten some very sophisticated photo imaging software so needed all the computer space and speed he could get. His computer was hooked up with the even larger bank of computers his new arm of the company put into their main office in Seattle. He loved that he could actually do a lot, if not most of his work from home. He loved having his own house, and especially this one. He smiled to himself as he remembered telling Mindy he was trying to buy it. Her enthusiastic squeal of approval still made him chuckle a month later. He also loved being neighbors with David and Mia. They were now more like family than just friendly neighbors. He was amazed and so happy at how close the four of them, and Mia's mother Christine had gotten. He never stopped thanking the Universe and himself for stopping his car to help out Mindy that first night they met. His musing was cut short when he heard Mindy's question. "David told me he was going to show Mia a couple of the places he had found as possible wedding sites." "It is so cool they are getting married," sighed Mindy, "they are such a wonderful couple. I just love them both to pieces." Jonathan smiled, he knew he felt the same way. ₪* * * *₪ "Alright girls, let's get this place cleaned up," Christine said using her drill sergeant voice. The girls all hopped to their appointed jobs for the evening, clearing the table, loading the commercial dishwasher, cleaning the complete downstairs area of the Foundation's house. Vivian smiled as she looked over at her friends, busy doing their appointed tasks. She was so happy to hear them giggling like little girls as they worked, but played a bit too. She remembered Christine telling her to let them have that type of fun, for most transgendered women never fully mature because they never had the girl orientated childhood. Most of them had to hide it from themselves, let alone from their friends and family. So to hear the squeals and giggles of little girls doing their chores together was not only a heartwarming but also so important for their growth as women. "I never thought I would be happy doing housework, of course I had all but lost hope I would ever be a part of a household," she said loudly. The rest of the group quickly agreed with Vivian's assessment as they continued on with their chores. Christine smiled broadly as she watched her minions happily going about their chores. The Foundation was doing well. In the last couple months they were one girl away from being full. She was in constant contact with Harmony Fleming, Mia's old friend from her company in San Francisco who ran the Foundation house down there. Her house was completely full, and a bit larger than the ten girl house Christine had. They had sixteen girls, with a long waiting list. The Foundation had become a huge hit with all the girls that had come into its fold. Both houses were run by caring, loving, and intelligent women. Both houses created a warm and friendly family setting for all the young transgendered girls, and most importantly got them off the streets and out of the hands of pimps and gang members. The loving care of the leaders and other members of the houses, plus the professional care that was offered was helping all of the girls get started on their new lives and showing them a way for each to follow their dreams and goals as proud and successful women. Word of the success of both houses had brought in more funding and overtures to start new houses in different cities. "Nice job Vivian," smiled Christine as she looked over the sparkling kitchen. "Thanks Christine, and thank you for taking me in and all you have done for me." Vivian had been beaten by the ruthless pimp, Pain, and had been hospitalized for a week. She had come directly from the hospital to the Foundation house and was their second girl after Mindy. She had taken to this new life and way of being with all her heart and mind and was becoming a very valuable asset to Christine in helping some of the other, less open girls. "Can you please come into my office? I would love to have a little talk with you." Vivian nodded happily and followed Christine into her first floor office. "Please close the door Vivian, I want to keep our discussion private." "Ok Christine," mumbled Vivian, afraid she had done something wrong. It had previously been her experience if someone wanted to talk to her privately, it was never a good thing. "Please don't worry Vivian," Christine could see the worried look all over Vivian's face, "I have some important news and hopefully a very good proposal for you." Vivian sighed loudly in relief and sat down in the chair opposite Christine's desk. "Ok, so here's the deal. We now have an almost full house, and I have three other new girls inquiring into the last available room. I have seen how quickly you are progressing here and how the other girls look up to you. I would like to offer you the job of being my right hand woman here in the house. You will be paid, and I will outline your duties for you, but in a nutshell, basically doing what you are already doing by helping me so much taking care of the new girls. You are magnificent with them, and they all think you are the best! And you might as well know, so do I!" Vivian was taken so aback by all this praise she was absolutely speechless for at least thirty seconds in a row! A new record for her. "Wow, thanks Christine, I, uh, I don't really know what to say." "Well basically just say yes, but if you can't do that, nod your head in an affirmative manor," Christine chided her with her glorious smile as well. Vivian laughed, and nodded her head vehemently up and down, "Yes, Yes, a thousand times yes Christine! I would love to work for and with you." Christine grabbed her right hand in hers and did an exaggerated hand shake. "Well that settles it. You start tomorrow on the payroll, and I'll have your list of duties ready for you in the morning. I do so look forward to having you as my right hand woman, I will feel complete, like I can face any and everything. Vivian smiled as she walked out of the office. No one had ever spoken to her like that, and she had never thought of herself like that... A Right Hand Woman... I will do my very best at each task, each day she thought to herself as she was walking up the stairs to her room to email her sister in Sacramento. ₪* * * *₪ Mia was expounding the beauty and wondrously good points of both the places they had visited. She was talking nonstop as David drove and smiled as he listened to his love. It was so wonderful to hear that lilt in her voice again and that excitement she could generate with her outstanding ideas. "And what are you smiling at there Mr. Jorgenson?' "I was letting the beauty of your voice and the excitement of your ideas thoroughly surround me and make me glad all over again you are soon to be Mrs. Jorgenson." David stopped and slapped the steering wheel. Mia jumped in her seat and asked, "What is it darling?" "I feel like I made a huge mistake, assuming you would be taking my name. I am sorry Mia. I should have never assumed that and should have waited until we could talk about it." "Please David, I didn't take it in any other way than the way you meant it, as a comforting term of endearment. To tell you the truth, I haven't even thought about it. I know it is quite vogue these days for women to keep their family name, or hyphenate the two. I know it would create a little problem for me in the business world. But I kinda like the sound of it. You know Mom just took her maiden name, Shaw as our last name after Dad left us, so I think a change, especially to your name might be really cool. "I do worry a bit though with my dark hair and dark eyes, I am not going to look too Norwegian." "Don't worry about that my dear, my links go back to the days of the Vikings, and they were equal opportunity plunderers and brought back women from all over their travels, many with dark hair and dark skin. It's funny, I saw a documentary about the Vikings and how many of the women they 'ravaged' and 'kidnapped' actually came back with their 'captors' quite willingly. They had lived in the same dreary villages all their lives, few travelling even twenty miles away from where they were born. Their men treated them like slaves, and they had to work the fields all day, make the late meal, clean up, and then climb in bed next to a passed out snoring drunk who hadn't touched her in months. Then one day these amazing tall beautiful blue eyed, blond hair gods appeared and not only wanted sex with them but took it, and for a lot of the women, it was their very first orgasm and they left with the intruders willingly. " Mia belly laughed at David's short story, "Oh sure, that is exactly how it went. But anyway, you have explained how my dark hair won't exclude me from being Norwegian, thanks to those wonderful Vikings!" They pulled down their street and saw Mindy in her window for their house was at the end of the cul de sac. David blinked the headlights three times to say 'hello'. They could see Mindy smiling and waving back as they pulled into their garage. "I am just amazed at Mindy's progress in such a very short time. I am so proud of her." "As am I" David agreed, "and I am very proud of Jonathan and the work and support he has given her during her extraordinary transformation, as well as his new position at his company. He is a remarkable young man." "They make such a cute couple," Mia giggled "doesn't it make you wonder about if we had met so young?" "Yes, I have thought of that a few times, but then you know we met when we were supposed to meet." "I suppose you're right, and we wouldn't have been the people we were had met earlier, perhaps not ready for each other. The last thing I need is another 'what might have been' thought roaming around in this brain of mine. "I love your brain and the thoughts it creates, and especially the wonderful, beautiful woman it belongs to." Mia reached over after giving David an "awwww", and gave him a big kiss, which he returned with pleasure. "So we're closing in on the third month my dear, how are you feeling about us having sex again?" "Oh David, I know it's been difficult for us both. I know you have gently pushed me away when I try to give you a blow job. Don't think I don't know you and why you do so, you lovely man you. You don't want me to pleasure you if you cannot return the pleasure for me." "Am I that easy to read?" "For me you are, for you don't know or can't see how much you have opened up to me. I see you with others and you are generally the same, but a bit more protected, not so easily giving of where your thoughts are. But with me, you have opened yourself up, and I am so comforted and happy by our growth. I know I have made the same efforts at openness with you, and I think I have reached that goal as well." "Reached and passed the goal my dear. I love how close we have become and how easy it has become to share everything with you. But, back to my original question. Do you think you'll be ready in the four, or closer to the six the doctor told us about at the start?" "Well, you've seen how my vagina is coming along, after all you are helping with the dressing and cleansing. I mean my god, I was so embarrassed at first I didn't even want you to see it, less I scare you off. But once again you amazed me as you began helping with the cleansing and then with the stent dilators, oh my, I never thought I would allow another person to be so private with me. But your manner and demeanor made it quite easy. You know, in the last few weeks I have actually tried to let myself enjoy your sweet insertions of the dilators, and love it as you increase the size and diameter per the doctor's instructions. I try to let loose a bit and try to feel sexual as we do the dilation, but I still find myself fighting the embarrassment." "Come on Mia, you know me better than that, I knew at first it was basically going to be a major surgical wound. A surgery that inflicted severe trauma to that entire part of your body. I know what a surgical wound looks like, and what surgical healing looks like. And I have also been feeling some sexual feelings inserting the dilators, wishing I could use mine to dilate you as being so close to you and your sexuality makes me hard and ready. You could just call me Stent for short." Mia Mine Ch. 13 Mia laughed out loud. "Well, our last follow up with the doctor was very good, and the nurse I see is very happy with the progression. You know though, I am going to be giving myself to you as a virgin on our wedding night, and you/we are going to have to take it slow like that. I hope you don't mind this little fantasy of mine." "Slow and tender, with a very nice candle light dinner before, some nice music and your favorite fragrances surrounding us. I will try to make your fantasy come true my love." "What in the world? Have you been reading romance novels or something?" Mia chided. "Actually we are writing one my dear," David whispered as he brought her face to his for another deep passionate kiss. ₪* * * *₪ "I have Vivian to start as my right hand woman tomorrow," Christine smiled as she spoke over her glass of wine. She had called Detective Robinson after her talk with Vivian to see if he could meet her at their favorite little spot overlooking the water. "That should take some of the burden off those lovely, yet very strong shoulders of yours my dear." "Thank you Dirk, you know I knew you had a soft spot in your hard "Mr. Detective" you show the general public. I am so glad I was right, and that you have decided to share it with me. Dirk reach across the table, gently taking Christine's wine glass from her hands so he could hold them as he looked across the tiny window front table. Her white hair illuminated by the table's little candle, made her seem to be a vision, a Goddess really. "Christine, you can't imagine how surprised and so very happy you have made me, and I hope you can see that, and want to share your beautiful self with me as much as I want to share myself with you, the self I am just beginning to understand and enjoy. You know, I had long given up hope of having a relationship again, and had really just dove into the work this little town creates, and go home and live a quiet, unassuming life. You have brought joy, wonder, amazement, and just plain fun back into my life and I feel as if I am reborn." Christine laughed, "Well I do seem to be in the 'reborn business' these days. But I was so happy I found you too. I had basically thought the same about me and had thrown myself into Mia's life and the foundation. But you know, Mia is going to be married, the foundation is up and running, and Vivian is going to do a wonderful job as my partner. So there is going to be time for me, and right now, I want to share my me time with you." ₪* * * *₪ Mindy was through with her homework and was feeling a bit frisky. She got up from her desk, turned everything off and walked quietly into Jonathan's office. She saw him working intensely on some new photo artwork. Of course he had his headphones on and was listening to his music. She went to his computer and switched on the speakers as well as his headphones. Mindy giggled, for he had the funniest tastes in music. He was really into a lot of old groups, from the '60's saying his dad was such a huge fan and he had gotten turned on by the same tunes that had gotten his father decades ago. Mindy unplugged the headphones, and quickly removed them from Jonathan's head. 'The lonely sea, the lonely sea... It never stops for you or me...' "That's beautiful, who is it?" Jonathan turned around and looked at Mindy to make sure she wasn't pulling his leg. "It's the Beach Boys, one of my very favorites. I used to sit in my dark room and listen to this song a lot when I was feeling blue." 'It moves along, from day, to day That's why my love, you'll never stay.' "Geeze sounds like kind of a downer to me, although the melody and the singing are really quite beautiful." "Oh yes, that era had a lot of songs about unrequited love, and with my luck with girls, it seemed I was always throwing my emotions into these songs as yet another girl wanted to be 'just friends, ok?'." "Well, I am glad for their loss and my gain, you sexy man you," Mindy sashayed over and began to dance to the tune, slowly moving her body against Jonathan's. She bent over to rub her t-shirt covered breasts against his face, smothering him a bit as she grabbed his head and held him to her chest. She smiled when she felt his hands running up inside the back of her t-shirt and happily raised her arms to let him lift the small shirt off her now very hot body. Once the shirt was gone, Jonathan brought his face back to her chest, lifting one breast at a time into his mouth. He had found that Mindy really liked having her nipples sucked on, and lightly bitten as his hand caressed them from below. He was soon spurred on to further things as Mindy's moans were becoming louder and lasting a very long time. Jonathan got up from his chair, swept Mindy off her feet and carried her, while kissing her, to the bedroom, their bedroom as he called it. Once inside he lightly let Mindy roll out of his hold and onto the bed. She was soon laying there with her arm holding up her head, breasts sparkling in the light from Jonathan's wet ministering. He bent over and lightly grabbed the elastic top of her shorts and slid them slowly down her lovely, smooth legs, kissing his way down her legs as he removed her shorts. After he finished getting her shorts off, he began to remove her panties. He liked the way she didn't wear the gaffing piece when she was home with him, so once the panties were removed he could see her sexual excitement in her semi-hard penis. He took her in his hand and gently stroked her, noticing the work of the new hormone regime had made it a bit smaller and more difficult for her to achieve a full erection. He didn't care, he just wanted to give the girl he loved pleasure, and he was assured he was doing just that by her now loud moans and gyrations on the bed. He leaned down to take her into his mouth and she let out a scream, "Oh God Jonathan! Oh you are getting me so hot, please take off your clothes, I want you inside me." Jonathan kept her in his mouth, letting his tongue dance around the tip of her penis and penis head as he turned into a contortionist and began to take his clothes off while still keeping her inside his mouth. The movements he had to make to take off different pieces of clothing made his head bob up and down on her, driving her even more into her sexual frenzy. "Hurry, please hurry Jonathan!" He had no choice now but to stand and let her hardened penis flop out of his mouth as he finished undressing. As he finished, Mindy reached over to the night stand and grabbed their new favorite scented and heat inducing lubricant. She quickly filled her hand with some and grabbed Jonathan's rock hard penis and first took him into her mouth just to taste him and to let him feel her mouth and tongue on him. Jonathan closed his eyes and moaned. There was nothing like the feeling when Mindy first took him into her mouth. She was so good at knowing how to please him, learning all the little tricks that pushed each and every one of his buttons. She let one of her fingers slide into the lubricant in her other hand, and gently slid her lubed finger up his anal canal to find his prostate and give him a prostate massage while he was in her mouth. "Mindy, if you want me inside you, we better do it quickly! If you're going to do this much longer I won't be able to contain myself!" Mindy gently removed her finger, lifted her mouth off his pulsing member and began to lovingly apply the lubricant to him. Jonathan reached for the lube bottle and squirted some on his hand and began to gently rub the ointment all around and then into Mindy's waiting anal opening. She squirmed, loving his touch, the way he gently, but firmly inserted his finger with the lube up her canal. She slid over to the edge of the bed and reached for the pillow to put under her. She grabbed his hardness with both of her hands and began to guide him to her aching little puckered opening. She gasped as he first entered her. She loved that feeling of first penetration and reached behind him to hold him still, right there, for just a few moments longer. Finally, neither one could wait any longer, Jonathan began the first slow, long stokes to totally fill Mindy. As the lube did its work he began to pump harder and harder inside Mindy. Her head was thrown back, eyes rolled back into the top of her sockets, and moaning profusely. He reached down and began to stroke her penis in time with his own pumping inside of her. Her earlier enjoyment inside Jonathan's wondrous mouth had brought her close to climax as well. She let herself go and enjoy each of Jonathan's now wildly erotic thrusts inside of her and she loved how he stroked her penis as he slammed into her. She could hear his breathing and reached up to cup his sac and could feel his testes begin the wondrous shudder. She felt his hand stroking her harder and faster as he began to moan. She felt herself at the doorway to eruption and tried to hold back so they could cum at the same time. She didn't think she would be able to but then she heard Jonathan's telltale groan and she let herself shoot straight up and onto her stomach as she felt Jonathan's seed fill her inside as his groans filled the room with his sounds mixed with hers. Finally, spent and completely satisfied, Jonathan almost crumbled on top of his waiting Mindy, arms open to pull her satiated man close to her. "Come up on the bed next to me my darling, I want to hold you." As Jonathan climbed up next to her, Mindy noticed the tears in his eyes and running down his cheeks. "Honey, what is the matter? You are crying?" "It's silly really darling, you make me so happy, and we were making love to the song I used to sit and feel sorry for myself for not getting yet another girl. And here I am now with that tune going on in the background making the most wonderful love to the most beautiful woman in the world! You can't imagine how wonderful you are for me." "Oh yes I can young man! I feel exactly the same way! I never, never thought I would be in love, let alone be in love AND loved by such a beautiful and caring man. I wouldn't even let myself dream there was a you out there for me, yet here you are, here we are." "Yes, here we are, and here we'll stay." Jonathan reached over to hold Mindy as close to him as he could while giving her the deepest and longest kiss he could, smiling as the Beach Boy tune on his I-Pad changed to 'Surfer Girl' another of his favorites... 'So I say from me to you I will make your dreams come true Do you love me do you surfer girl?' ₪* * * *₪ Vivian was enjoying her new role, as she ushered the three other girls who had dropped out of high school into the little library room the Foundation had to offer. Inside, amongst the books mostly concerning life growth and transgendered problems and situations, were four laptops, all connected to the Foundation's wireless internet system (thank you Jonathan!). One of her roles was to be the school head mistress as they all signed on to do their GED online high school finishing work. None of the other three had done as well in school as Vivian. All the school work came so easily to her, she never felt like she had to push herself. Of course her Hispanic heritage put her in "that" category, where no teacher really gave her the direction or challenges to push her to meet and surpass her above average intelligence. She was just another lost girl (she had changed schools in the seventh grade and entered as a girl) in another non-descript inner city school. There were programs available, but most of them meant staying after school and Vivian couldn't do that as she had to help her mother and grandmother with her younger siblings after school for her mother worked nights to help support the family, and her grandmother was out of energy by three or four o'clock. It was ok most of the time until midway through her junior year, her mom got laid off, and they were in very deep financial trouble right away. Vivian quit going to school and started hanging out with the girls who ran drugs for the mini cartels in town. They loved dressing the girls up to the nines and having them do their deliveries, for they were rarely stopped. Their clothing was fine and beautiful, not like hooker extreme, but like very well off young business ladies (thanks to the make up work). She was able to make enough money to take care of her family, and even when her mom got another job, she kept at it, thinking she could eventually sock some money away and even dreamed of going to college and pursuing her secret dream to become a lawyer and help those who needed legal help but could not afford it. But every time she seemed to get a little ahead, her mom would be laid off or fired. The drug leaders had watched her work and had seen how she was accepted by the affluent customer base for which they used her for their deliveries. By the time she was eighteen, they confronted her about doing "more" for her customers as several had made quite large offers for her sexual favors. When she heard the sum of money they were talking about, she thought about it for a couple minutes and figured she could pull it off. Figuring most of her clients were older and she thought she could get away with flashing her little girls and giving them blow jobs they would remember for the rest of their lives. She was very concerned about being found out to be transgendered for fear of losing everything, even her delivery job. But she was also worried if she turned them down, she might lose the delivery job, so she was stuck. ***** It all went well the first two times, basically her plan had worked almost to the letter. Then that fateful night when one very large customer wanted to fuck her. She tried the 'it's my period, you can fuck my ass," but it didn't stop him. He didn't stop until he had her thrown down on the couch in his office and had ripped off all her clothes to reveal her no longer hidden penis. His bellow was so loud, she was afraid the building security people would be coming in soon (maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing after all she thought). The customer slapped and punched her around pretty good, and then got on the phone to her boss to read him the riot act. While he was on the phone, Vivian gathered up what was left of her clothes and ran out of the office trying to arrange them to a point where she wouldn't be arrested once she made it back on the street. She didn't even bother to go back to her boss's place for she thought it would be all over. But he sent some of his minions to her house, and they actually arrived before her and whisked her into their car to take her to face her boss. Her boss told her he had given her to his friend, Pain, who would have someone show her how to work the streets, where the 'trannies' like her work. And if she didn't comply, they would start working over her mother and her brothers and sisters. So, what had at first seemed to be a pathway to her dream, ended up being a slippery slide into the nether world of being a street walker, and dealing with the harsh and lots of times dangerous customer base looking for a "tranny." Her dark beauty and her wits helped her to make enough money to keep her mom and siblings in their apartment and with food, but not much else was available after giving Pain his ever increasing cut. She felt like she was at the end of the world with no way out, until Mindy told her about the Foundation. She was all ready to make the trip over there when she was abducted by Pain's crew, beaten savagely, and basically left for dead as they threw her out of the car with the note for Mindy around her neck. She had often wondered what happened to Pain after his attack on her and Mindy. There was a rumor around that one of David's friends who called himself a private detective, but worked more like an undercover operative had seen to it that Pain had won an all-expenses paid, one way trip to the deepest Nigerian jungle to get back to his roots. Vivian shook her head and rapidly changed channels in her mind to get out of that place and to start helping the others with their questions about the assignments they were working on. ₪* * * *₪ Christine had come in from her date with Dirk, and slid by the library door, listening to the girls all asking Vivian questions, and loving how well Vivian handled getting them the answers, or better yet showing them how and where to find the answers themselves. "Oh My Vivian!" screamed Daphne, one of the newer girls, "I got it! I really understand the whole process! How cool is that! Sheesh, you should be the one teaching these classes, not the ones that are, you make it so we can actually learn this crap, er, I mean work. And you make it fun to discover how it actually works in real life too!" Christine knew she had picked the perfect Right Hand Woman, smiled to herself and went upstairs to her room to continue on her suggestions for Mia's wedding. She turned on her laptop and was soon looking at the pictures of the three places Mia and David had narrowed their choices to. She loved the quaint little park with the circular dock. The community club house was ok, but she loved the thought of being over the water on such a quaint little dock. She imagined the small wedding party at the end of the circle and all of the guests filled out the rest of the circle and the walkway part of the dock. She could imagine the sound of the waves as Mia and David walked the dock back to land as Man and Wife, with everyone throwing rice and flowers over them as they walked. She sighed and let herself feel good for Mia. She loved how she had found her man, and built the relationship they had. She let herself feel a bit good for all her work to help Mia get through as much of the hardships a transgendered girl has to face on a daily basis. She had always loved Mia of course, but was so proud of the woman she had, and was still becoming. Makes a mother proud she thought to herself. ₪* * * *₪ "Mom loves the circular dock too hon, let's find out what the schedule is for it!" David picked up his phone and dialed the number for the caretaker of the little private park. It turned out they had a cancelation and the Saturday in two weeks time was open. Mia squealed with delight when she heard the news. They had settled on a very small affair, so it wouldn't be too much to pull it off in just two weeks. They had already purchased most of the supplies they could beforehand and had the invitations all ready to mail as soon as they put the date, place, time, and a little map in the addressed envelopes. Mindy was going to be Mia's Maid of Honor, and David had chosen Jonathan to be his best man. Christine was going to give away the bride, and arrangements had been preset at one of the local hotels for the few out of towners that would be attending. Mindy had shown a flair for clothing design and had done the drawing for Mia's wedding dress and had the dress makers that did work for the little shop she worked at make the dress. Mia loved it and looked absolutely stunning in it. She told Mindy she had real talent and that she should really look into doing more in the design field. Her sentiments were echoed by the dressmakers as well, and Mindy was thrilled to be able to dream about being a fashion designer. So many doors were opening for her now, she was so used to having them all slammed shut in her face, and now. Wow! ₪* * * *₪ The next morning found Mia, David, Mindy, Jonathan, Christine, Vivian, and Dirk, all together in David and Mia's house busily addressing the envelopes and putting on the time and place and inserting the little maps to the wedding site. They would get them all out in that day's mail as David was ready to drive them to the downtown post office. He loved going there anyway, to the 1913 built building. He loved thinking of all the mail that had gone through there. All the love, the happiness, the hardship, the devastating news, basically life itself. Mia Mine Ch. 13 After the invitations were over they all got together to make a schedule and a shopping list for the food they would need to prepare for a little mini feast for the small reception after the ceremony. Dirk cleared his throat and stammered a bit at first but finally got his idea across, "Er I know ya-you want to do your own food, but I know this wonderful little old lady who does catering as a side adventure and she is absolutely wonderful at it. I could call her and see if she is free for that day and if she would do it for us,that would free us all up to do other important things." Everyone was quiet as they had listened carefully to Dirk's suggestion. Then they all broke out into a raucous laugh and patted Dirk on the back. "Great idea Dirk, call her right now and let's see if she can do it." Dirk went into the other room to call his friend and was soon walking back into the kitchen area which had now turned into 'wedding central hub'. "She is free and is so excited she wanted to come right over and go over her idea for the menu with us, I hope you don't mind but I told her that would be great!" "Good call Dirk! This will be great not having to deal with the food." The men broke into a small group to discuss the operations aspects of the ceremony and got a pretty easy plan together as to how to get everyone there and how to set it all up. They figured having the ceremony scheduled for sunset, which at this time of the year meant around seven fourty five, they would have plenty of time during the day to get everything set up. It was nice they got to rent the place all day, so they would have the run of the place to get it ready. The girls had gathered around looking at the samples of the table clothes and napkins when they heard a knock on the door. As Mia opened the door, this beaming, smiling, round little elderly woman with dimples and eyes that shone bright and clear reached out her hand. "Hi! I'm Nina, Dirk's friend. I am so happy and excited you have chosen me to cater your ceremony. I have a lot of ideas so if you have the time I would like to show you my little portfolio and pick out your menu." Mia laughed out loud, "Nina, you are absolutely perfect for the job, and we will love to go over your portfolio with you!" The girls huddled around the table, mesmerized by Nina's portfolio, knowledge of foods for occasions, and just her take charge attitude made them all sure she was perfect for the job. After about forty five minutes, the menu was complete and everyone was happy. Nina went into the living room and made a few calls, and came back with her price that was more than fair. "You're hired Nina, but let me tell you, if it all goes the way I think it will, there will be a bonus for you, for that price you quoted is more than fair." Nina smiled, "Not necessary, but it will be greatly appreciated!" ₪* * * *₪ The day of the wedding soon arrived, a beautiful, sun filled day. Mia had wanted another wedding tradition so when Christine, Mindy, and Harmony (who had flown up for the wedding with her daughter who would be the flower girl) got to Mia and David's house to prepare her for her special day, David was kicked out so as not to see the bride before the ceremony. David took Jonathan down to a late breakfast and then the two went down to the park to prepare for the ceremony. They had brought a little changing tent and their wedding clothes so they could change there and not have to leave after setting everything up. They had to meet a couple of the rental delivery trucks for some of the extra tables and chairs, table cloths and cutlery. "I still can't believe you talked me into a top hat and tails get up," moaned Jonathan. "Don't look at me," smiled David, "I swear Mia's going to cross off half her bucket list on this one day's ceremonies and customs. But after all the horrors and troubles she has gone through to have this wedding day as a complete woman, I find it very easy to do any and all her requests happily and with gusto," David twirled his cane with his last statement. "You're right, sorry to complain, I've just never been a 'tux' kinda guy, but I too will wear it with pride." "Well since we have to wear these monkey suits, we might as well go all the way." Both men laughed and went on their way preparing the park. Dirk soon showed up to help as well and the three men kept quite busy setting up the area. "For a 'small wedding' there sure is a lot to set up," David remarked as he an Jonathan were moving some of the picnic tables together to ready them for the table cloths Mia had rented. "How many people are coming?" asked Dirk. "There is going to be around thirty guests," replied David. "Most of the crew from Mia's local office, the girls from the foundation, and her lawyer Marsha and a few of her ex-employees flew up from San Francisco last night." "Well, I pulled in a couple favors and we'll have a couple of the local cops directing traffic, so they can get into this little road ok off the highway." "Thank you Dirk! That was very thoughtful. You know I haven't mentioned this, but I am sure glad you and Christine have gotten together. I have gotten to love her so much, and to see her so happy makes my heart glow." "She is definitely the most remarkable and beautiful woman I have ever had the pleasure to know, let alone have a relationship with, I am one lucky man." "That makes three of us!" Jonathan chimed in, and the three men shared a hearty laugh. They broke for a late lunch and when they returned they found Nina and her crew had started setting up the barbeques and food preparation. "You certainly got a wonderful day for your wedding," Nina remarked as she happily went about her tasks. "This is going to be a wonderful evening for your ceremony. By the way, this is my Granddaughter Mallory and her friend Tina, my helpers." "Nice to meet you ladies," David said in his best formal tone as he shook their hands, "we certainly appreciate your help." "Oh you are so welcome, we just love working with Grandma when she does these types of functions. You are going to be amazed at what she, well what we, put together, you are going to love it," Mallory beamed. "I'm sure we will," David smiled at the young girl's enthusiasm. ₪* * * *₪ Mia was standing while the others attended to the final fitting of her wedding gown. Her lawyer, Marsha had made the trip up from San Francisco for the wedding, and she had joined the crew preparing Mia. "Mia, you have to be the most beautiful bride I have ever seen, my God your gown is to die for!" Marsha exclaimed. "Thank you Marsha, this is a Mindy original, she designed it and had the dress makers that do some work for the clothing store she works at make it for us." "Well, I am certainly impressed Mindy, do you have formal design training?" "No, I just got interested in it after I started working at the store, I have always loved to draw, and put that love and my new found love of fashion together," Mindy said a bit sheepishly. "Well you should be proud my dear, I have a lot of clients that pay a shit load of money for piles of crap by some 'big name' designers that would give their eye teeth to look this good." Everyone laughed and Mindy thanked Marsha for her kind words. "You're in quite a wild mood Marsha, what's up with that?" smiled Mia. "My favorite client, well I look at you as the daughter I never had, is getting married and I am just tickled pink and so happy I could burst. So please don't put a damper on my fun, I plan to celebrate this union with unbridled excitement (pardon the little pun)." Marsha was laughing at her own play on words. She also decided to pour a glass of wine from the bottle she found in the fridge downstairs. She raised her glass to toast, "Here is to the most beautiful bride in the universe, wearing the most gorgeous dress in the world!" "Here here," was the reply by those not yet imbibing. ₪* * * *₪ The men had gotten everything they needed done and were sitting back on some of the rental chairs relaxing, well at least two of the men. Jonathan had disappeared for a bit, as he was last seen walking up towards the car. He returned with a medium sized cooler, large enough he had to use the two handles on the side to carry it. He came right up to David and Dirk and put it down with a flourish. "So, as your best man, I have decided that since your 'bachelor party' was setting up the wedding, the least I could do was mix you a drink as you rest before the big beginnings coming up. Hopefully gin and tonic with a lime twist will be ok?" "Sounds great," both men answered in unison. Jonathan busied himself preparing the drinks for the three of them. He had brought very large glasses and was building quite a drink." "Whoa there Jonathan, those are like a quart of liquid libations you are mixing up there," Dirk warned. Jonathan smiled, "I had to promise Mindy and Mia I would only make one drink for our makeshift bachelor party, so here they are! Now that is what I call one drink to remember," as he handed the chilled glasses to the others. After they all had their glasses, Jonathan stood up and cleared his throat. "As the best man, it my duty to propose a toast to the most wonderful man I have ever met. He has taught me so much about life and living in such a short time, I will be forever in his debt, but hopefully forever in his new 'family' because that is how I view him, proudly, as family. So here is to family!" He raised his glass and all three men gave their here heres and clinked glasses together and all took very long drinks. "Now that is a gin and tonic! Thank you Jonathan, quite the plan you had there, and as for your toast, yes, you and Mindy, and now Dirk and Christine are all part of our new and wondrous family. I am so happy and proud to be a part of such a wonderful group of people. People of trust, caring, acceptance, and love. Truly a family to behold!" Both Jonathan and Dirk could see the moisture in David's eyes after his little speech. They both gave him a pat on the shoulder, but then put their drinks down and gave him a full on hug. It was quite a moment for all three and they clinked their glasses together again after the hugs to celebrate the meaningful moment. "So, I see you have a little changing tent over there, but I don't see a shower. I don't know about you two but that work in the mid to late afternoon heat has made me sweaty and I for one would like a shower. I only live about five minutes away. The caterer is here and she can watch things for us, and the traffic cops will also be here soon too. So, come on, let's go get a shower and get dressed at my place." Dirk started walking to his car not wanting to hear any refusals from the others. Jonathan looked and David and feigned lifting his arm and making a face as he pretended to smell his pit. "Ok, I get your point, and yes, I would like a shower and to shave again." Off they went, as one took his shower the others watched the Mariners loosing another baseball game. After all three had finished their showers (Dirk in the cold water, being the gracious host he elected to go last), they began to dress. Jonathan needed some help with all the pieces of the tux. Luckily Dirk had some experience with them and was able to help both Jonathan and David get their tuxes on to a T. David laughed as he put his top hat on and twirled his cane. "Man if I could dance I would feel like Fred Astaire." Jonathan also did a little turn around keeping his cane on the floor. Then put his feet together and twisted the cane around in his best Charlie Chaplin move, he too was laughing. "We will certainly put on quite a show!" "Just wear it and act like you wear it every day, but don't forget to have fun with it as well," was David's passing advice as they headed back to Dirk's car. "I tell ya, in my suit I feel very underdressed." "You look great Dirk, we're the ones that have to look like we are part of a monopoly game or something," mused Jonathan. They all laughed as they made the short journey back to the wedding area. Dirk had been right, there were a couple traffic cops ready to direct traffic for the upcoming event. Dirk waived as they passed the two on the highway. "Thanks guys, I owe you big time." They smiled, shook their heads in a 'no' fashion, held up the traffic for them so they could make the left onto the little road down to the park. ₪* * * *₪ The girls had Mia all done, her hair was glorious, the dark long locks shined and shimmered in any light. It fell just below her shoulders and really highlighted the lighter color of Mindy's gown. Vivian had taken over the makeup, as she had the most experience. Mindy wanted some but she insisted on the 'natural look'. It was amazing how much makeup was needed to make the 'natural look'. But in any look, she looked beautiful. The little bit of eye shadow, liner and eyelashes made her eyes dazzle their blue light. Her lips were full and lined but with a very light color that actually did make them look natural. She had been perfumed and powdered and just about everything imaginable. She stood in awe in front of her full length mirror, and didn't even notice that both her mom and Marsha were taking a lot of pictures of her. Vivian finally broke the mood with her commanding (Right Hand Woman) voice, "C'mon you guys, we gotta get started down to the park or we're going to be late. Once again all the girls from the foundation had been given their tasks and all the items needed to be taken with them to the part were split between them. The flowers and other decorations were loaded in the foundation van and Marsha had also rented a van so everyone else could ride along with her. ₪* * * *₪ The girls pulled into the park, with a lot of help from Dirk's friendly traffic cops. Mia had Mindy jump out first to make sure she found David to have him 'put away' so he wouldn't see the bride before the ceremony. Once he was safely tucked away at the end of the dock with the Justice of the Peace's assistant signing the marital forms, Mindy and Christine rushed Mia into the changing tent. The foundation girls headed down towards the dock to get that all ready with the flowers and decorations they had brought. The men had laid the groundwork for them and the actual disbursement and display was very easy (with the drawing the Mindy had made, showing where everything went). The girls readied Mia a bit again until the friendly little older man who was the Justice of the Peace that was going to perform their ceremony showed up with his portly self in a black robe, his white full beard almost hiding his smile, but not the smile in his eyes. He definitely was a Santa double, and Mia just loved him from the first time she met him. He had her sign her part of the marital papers, and while she signed he felt he had to say, "You have to be absolutely and without any doubt the most beautiful bride I have ever had the pleasure to marry off." "Thank you, you are too kind," Mia blushed. As he left the tent, Mindy stepped out a bit and peeked around the area. She saw that David and Jonathan were in place down at the head of the dock. She saw that most if not all of the guests had arrived. She also saw that Jonathan's friend was doing a great job getting casual and candid shots of the guests and the caterers and all involved in the wedding. She turned back into the tent to do her final touch for Mia's outfit. She put on the little satin hat she had made, with a small satin rose in the front and two long pure white silk strips that would hang in the back and mix and offset Mia's jet black shiny hair. "There you Mia, everything is in place, you are ready to go! Ok, so here's how we will do it. We will walk as a group sorta surrounding Mia down to the entrance of the dock. The music will have already started, so Harmony can you make sure Trina gets going as the flower girl walking to the end of the dock?" "Of course, we practiced quite a few times during the day and she is ready and eager to do her job for Mia" "That is so sweet, thank you Trina," Mia gushed. Mindy took over again, "Then I will walk down the aisle of dock, and when I get about halfway, Christine will lead Mia down the dock. At that time the Justice will ask 'who gives away this woman?' And "you will say, "I am her mother, and I give away this woman." Then the rest of you will fill in behind so you can see and be close to the ceremony. ₪* * * *₪ David and Jonathan were getting a bit tired of standing and waiting. "You know I did not want this cane when they were talking about our little costumes here, but man, with all this waiting it sure helps take some of the weight off the feet." Jonathan laughed, "I have been using it too, a very handy tool indeed!" Just as he finished, they heard the music get louder and looked down the dock to see Trina walking down the white satin lined dock, dispersing flower petals and her beautiful smile all along the way. Then they saw Mindy, and Jonathan was breathless. His eyes were locked on her as she walked down the dock aisle. She had designed her dress as well and had used the color scheme that had sorta been a tongue in cheek scheme... 'Blue explodes into Pink'. She had made her gown to be full length with the bottom a dark blue, but as the dress got higher, the blue started 'exploding' into very intricate and interesting patterns as it turned lighter in color. Starting at the waist, the pattern turned into arms of an explosion, so by the time they reached her breasts, they were covered in a very bright almost neon pink. The gown had a high collar to it with lace coming almost to her chin. She wanted a high neckline to give Mia the talk of the show with her low cut gown. Jonathan was mesmerized by her movement. She had designed the dress to flow with each of her movements and to be susceptible to be moved by any wind that would probably pop up. The end result was a beautiful woman, wearing a dress that hugged tightly to her most beautiful body parts, but spread far enough out at the bottom to have a wonderful flow, as if her dress's movements were extensions of her. She looked beautiful in the setting sun and Jonathan could feel himself starting to get hard as he watched her walk down to the other side of the front of the dock. The smile she gave him as he passed did not help to dispel his hardness, and he was glad he had tails on his tux and he brought one side over to cover his problem. Then it was Christine and Mia. David too was mesmerized. Mia looked like a model, showing off the most beautiful wedding dress in the world. It was also a floor length gown, with even a little bit of a tail following her. The bottom was made of a light crème colored satin that had a slit up the right side that ended just above her knee, so you got a glimpse of her beautiful leg as she walked slowly down the aisle. At the waist it changed to an almost white soft lace that hugged her tight tummy and showed a little skin through the lace. Above the lace was pure white satin that hugged her so tightly and was so very low cut, you could see the tops of her breasts. It looked strapless, but the long arm pieces that went from just above her hands up to her shoulders were actually attached to the dress and helped with the support of the dress to keep it from slipping down. The long sleeves also had slits on the outside almost the entire sleeve length, to show off Mia's toned arms. The dress flowed so effortlessly and was so in unison with Mia's movements, it was like a part of her. The little cap looked marvelous on her dark hair. As David's eyes finally went all the way up the dress and met Mia's, he mouthed 'you are beyond beautiful!' Mia Mine "Hopefully just as I want to make love to and with you, Mia" I said in surprising openness for me. And with that I kissed her, as deeply as I could, our tongues intertwined in a love dance inside our mouths. My hands began to caress her sweet breasts again, fingers tugging and pulling at her highly sensitive nipples. Her moans egged me on, and I let my hands venture down to the top of her skirt that she still had on. I found the clasp, undid the zipper, and slowly pulled her skirt off. She lifted her legs to let me drop it to the floor. My mouth and tongue now traveled down, licking my way past her now rock hard nipples, and leaving my liquid trail as I let myself play a bit, and tongue fucked her belly button. She sighed, giggled, and pushed my head down with her hands, until I was at the elastic top of her panties, which were marvelously bordered by her black lace garter that held up the nylons that had first gotten my attention. I let my tongue slip inside the elastic top, to play, to tease (to let myself gain confidence in what I was about to do for the first time in my life). I felt her hands at the sides of her panty tops as they gripped and pulled the panties down, sliding them so softly down her nylon clad legs. I was surprised again, as I did not see the penis I was expecting. Mia moaned again and raised herself up, to reach down to remove what appeared to be something like a thong. Inside the thong she had bent her now hardening cock under her ass. She freed the thong, sliding it too down her soft, beautiful nylon clad legs. As she did this, her now unencumbered penis sprang to life, just inches in front of my face. I gazed at its beauty, now fully hardened with her flowing blood. I had never seen another penis so close, and I marveled at the beauty of opposites. It was so hard, with veins popping out, and the circumcised purple helmet now beginning to leak pre cum. Yet there was also a softness to it, almost a velvety look. I could stand it no more and leaned over, to take the tip into my mouth. Her precum, although a bit salty, tasted like fine wine to me and only made me more eager to show her how I could return the favor twofold and give her the blow job of her life. She had now laid back down on the bed and was breathing heavy mixed with moans. I let my hands cup her balls, giving them a slight squeeze. That brought about an even louder moan so I knew I was on my way. I tried to relax my mouth as much as I could and began to take her hardness all the way into my mouth. Fighting and beating the gag reflex, I did manage to take her all the way into my mouth, feeling her tip at the back of my throat and then beyond. I held her there for just a few seconds, as she was holding her breath. I then slid my mouth all the way to the very tip, letting my tongue play with her precum filled opening, flicking away and thirstily drinking in all her juices. Then, I rammed my mouth down, taking her all the way in. She screamed, "OH YES DAVID, FUCK ME WITH YOUR MOUTH!" I needed no more direction than that wondrous dirty speech and began with fury to move my mouth up and down her rock hard shaft. I let the one hand continue to cup and gently squeeze her balls that had now retracted, readying for their release, and the other hand I let sneak around to her puckered opening, and pushed one finger inside her lovely ass. "OH YES! FUCK MY ASS WITH YOUR FINGERS AS YOU SUCK MY CUM! I AM ALMOST THERE! OH YES, YES, YESSSSSSSS I'M CUUUUUUUUMMMMINNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!" I felt the first burst hit the roof of my mouth and could feel there were going to be many more, so I moved my mouth back to just her tip to try to make room to accept all her orgasmic flow. She pumped against my fingers in her ass, and kept shooting, rope after rope of her intoxicating love juice. I took it all in, swallowing when I could, trying to keep up. Finally, she lifted up, grabbed the back of my head and pushed me all the way down her shaft as she shot her last stream into me. Then, with a moan, she lay back down on the bed. I slid up her body, to find her mouth. She hungrily met me half way, opening her mouth to kiss and taste the mixture of both our cum in my mouth. She drank from me as a lost traveler, days without water on a dessert trek. We held that kiss for what seemed an eternity, then broke for air, and we both fell back onto her bed. All of a sudden we both started laughing, uncontrollably laughing, holding each other and reveling in our post orgasmic session. "So that was beyond incredible David," Mia managed. I was able to muster a struggled, "Uh huh". Mia laughed, "A man of so many words, and that is all you have to say?" Seeing her playful pout, I raised my finger to signal 'give me a sec' and cleared my throat. "Mia, you most beautiful woman, are without comparison. That was without question the most erotic and wonderful sex I have ever had." "Oh my David, we have just begun" Mia cooed.
