Backwoods Brokedown

 
Another day alone in my hard work travail...      
and knocks at my door ?      
None other than my Mama and mines shinin knight errant...      
    
I smile and squeal...      
"Pardon." I say with a blush..      
He lifts my chin..."Dolly, i live to make you smile and giggle...      
Dont ever be sorry..Your laughter is music.."      
He carries in a load of firewood for our stove, dumps it..turns      
Looks at me straight in my melting eyes...      
    
I feel like a lit candle burning down fast flamed by blustery wind ..      
He digs in his sack and hands me a gift.      
A gift?      
I had never received a gift, wrapped purty like as a real Birthday package..      
It was pink paper tied up in red ribbon...      
I immediately thought how loverly I might be with that red in my dark hair...Mama would take a switch to my behind for wearing red...      
And fir my vain thoughts...      
    
"Are you going to stare or open it Angel?" he said, his jocund eyes danced...      
    
With careful hands i undid the ribbon...    
Looked like rubies to mih...  
"Let me tie it to your braid." he said...      
I turn..i bloomed in his touch....      
Him touchin my hair..      
Him seeing it loose on mih shoulders..    
Feelin his hands touch the back of my neck, and I swear i felt his touch plum throughout my body.      
It was a licentuous feeling...      
Wicked Mama would thank...      
But Mama's concerns were growing faint in my mind....      
All of my thoughts were on my knight...      
    
"Oh! Angel! You look ravishing...now open it!"      
 
"Open it?"  
    
I had forgotten there were an inside to this gift...      
Careful with the pink paper, I aimed to save it and put it in my special box i hid in a loose timber under the cellar floor...      
I opened it...its shine reflected in my puzzled smile...  
My eyes saw, but i did not understand. Twas a key.      
    
I looked up at him, my eyes asked the question?      
    
"For your new house in Savannah Dolly. Your Mama too of course. You will never have to go hungry again. You will live in the lap of luxury. Your children will have my fortune. You are of age, I will take care of you. You will be my love."      
    
"Oh mih Gooodness! Marriage! Yes! oh Yes!" my heart pounded...      
    
My heart pounded, he picked me up by my waist and threw me on the bed. He lifted my skirts and spread my thighs. His fingers probed my hot cunny and kissed me there... I had never known such...never even touched myself there. I felt wet heat and pressure, a lovely warm pressure that i was desperate to release..As he undid his trousers i shook, uncertain if this was right, i said....      
Sir, is it proper i give my virgin blood before we are fully betrothed?      
    
"Well Dolly, I have a wife. Of convenience..You will be my Mistress. But it is you I love my sweet." He smiled as if he had just offered me the world....      
    
"Will these children...of mine, yours...whose name will they have?"      
He looked at me long and hard.      
    
I untied my precious red ribbon....gave him an end. He held it between his first finger and thumb. I held the other end high and looped it through the whole in the ornate key, the key slid down the red ribbon to his hand.      
    
"No Sir." I said. Blinking back the durned tears in my eyes.      
    
"Goodbye Dolly" he turned and walked out the old wood door. "I do love you."      
    
"I do love you too Sir." my night was going home.      
To his wife.      
    
After a bit I jes ran and I ran so far...and collapsed in wails of sorrow.
