She lay down beside him with her arm across his chest, her head on his shoulder. He had been so good to her, the best he knew how. She had rewarded him with selfishness and even meanness, sometimes. Would it have hurt anything to answer his questions about Ruby and what had happened then? No, it would not have. He never asked anything of her but the truth and she did not even give that to him. She wished now she had told him the story. In telling, it might have sounded sordid, but Lulu did not think of it that way. It was years later that I heard the tale from her own lips. She came to sit under my sprawling branches one spring day, not long after she returned here. From my hill, she could see the cemetery where Jeffrey lies. She spoke to Jeffrey as she looked upward, all those years later. I am telling it to you now so that maybe you will understand and not fault her too much. Remember how young she was, and inexperienced, and positive she loved her new husband. When she met Ruby in the park, they neither one expected to become friends, but that is what happened. We talked of many things those afternoons in the park. Lucretia spoke as if telling Jeffrey, as if he were sitting beside her under my boughs. Mostly we talked about sex because of my curiosity and her ability to answer everything I questioned. Sometimes she asked about you and where we would be living. Rather than tell her, I said I did not know, because I did not care The Major s Wife 139 enough at the time to even ask you. All I wanted were the things we did in bed and I could not confess that to her. Actually, I was no kind of wife at all to you, Jeffrey. I suffer even now for the hurt that I caused you, but that will change nothing now. Anyway, I always changed the subject when she asked, steering the conversation to things in the park, fashions, restaurants, shopping, and of course, sex. When she suggested I watch her with her clients, I was delighted and afraid at the same time. We went to her little room and I hid in the closet behind her clothes. We even set a chair there so I could be comfortable while I watched. It was a good thing, too, because some of her clients came in pairs or more and all that took a long time. The longer she entertained them, the more they paid her, except for the Big-Nosed Banker with his teenie peenie. He always paid her well and came to her every week. I never knew his name or the full names of any of her johns, nor did I care to. We referred to Big-Nosed Banker by that name only. Anyway, when he arrived, Ruby dressed and painted her face like a clown. He liked to take off what she wore and dress himself in it. She was right, too, about his teenie peenie. It only grew when Ruby pulled it out of the clown costume and sucked it. He would moan and groan for what seemed like hours until he blew his wad, which, incidentally, was huge. When he was done, he stood up and began to play the role of a clown, dancing and cracking jokes. Ruby would laugh gaily, even though it was not funny at all. After that, she would undress him and help him with his own clothes. He paid her, kissed the top of her head, and left. The whole thing seemed pathetic to me, but Ruby just laughed and said, You ain t seen nothing yet. I swear to you, Jeffrey, that even though sometimes I got aroused, I did nothing about it. Ruby asked if I wanted to fuck any of them, but I never did. She asked if I wanted them to suck me or me suck them, and I never did. Sometimes, I did rub myself while I 140 Beverly Sims watched and every time I would think of you, wishing you were the one rubbing me. Ruby s customers were often pairs of men or a man and a woman together. The women, particularly, liked to watch their men fuck Ruby from behind while she mouthed the woman. And the men got really excited watching that, too. The three would change positions several different ways until the couple was exhausted. I realized many times it was a married couple wanting more than they could give each other alone. One time two women came without a man. They brought a funny-looking thing that resembled a penis in a belt. One of them would strap it on and fuck the other, while Ruby used her mouth to make them come. It was disgusting. I asked her if they liked fucking so much, why not just get a man to do it? She laughed and said she did not really understand it either, but suggested that maybe it was because men do not have tits and those women sure did like sucking tits, each other s and Ruby s, too. I told her I did not want to see that again, and she really laughed. Maybe you should try it, Lulu. You might like it. I do like it, especially when one of them licks my pussy. Women seem to do it better than men do. If you ever want to find out, I can show you. I told her no and she never mentioned it again. Many times, I wondered how it would feel, but I never had the nerve to let her do it to me. I think she really wanted to. The last time I watched her, there were three men doing things to her at the same time. Once they were all naked, she would tease every man with her tits and tongue. When they got hard, she would sit on her knees. One man fucked her pussy, one man fucked in her ass, and the third fucked her mouth. When they all came, they shot their cum all over her and rubbed it in. It was disgusting, Jeffrey, but Ruby said it was good money and really did not hurt her much. Then she did not show up for several afternoons, but a small boy came to me and asked if I was Lulu. I knew that something was wrong by the look on his face. He handed me a note that read, By the time The Major s Wife 141 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
