" 'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring......
As you can probably tell, not a whole lot was going on!
So yeah, it's not exactly the Little House on the Prairie but our home sitting squarely on the Nebraskan high plains in a small mid-western township, is if nothing - congenial living. OK, so it was constructed in 1926. Interesting year that. Calvin Coolidge was in the White House, Eddie Cantor was running hot with "Bye Bye Blackbird," A.A. Milne had just published Winnie-the-Pooh," while the average US home would set you back around $6,800 and you could pick up a used Chrysler roadster for seventy-five bucks. Fidel Castro and Chuck Berry were born that year too - just in case you have an interest in such trivia.
But to get back to what I was saying – it really was Christmas Eve. Now, for those readers who have kept a handle on things, you will be aware that I recently re-married a very young American girl and that accordingly, I shifted base from Australia to the tumbleweed-strewn heart of America. Geographically we are as close to the center of Northern USA as makes no difference.
Old enough to be Katie's grandfather, I suppose we are the ultimate odd-couple. Lest anyone point the finger in my direction however, allow me to make a few observations. I love my PSG dearly (little in-house joke there for the few of you able to make the connection). Together, we view our life on a remarkably even keel. A life I may add that is not governed by social dictate or a need to have been born in "acceptably close" time-frames. She keeps me young, I chip-in with the recalled images and experiences of having lived through the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties...earlier, if the truth be known - though not quite, as a few have cruelly suggested, back to the days of Caesar Augustus.
Now I realize that most of you have come here to read a sex story and indeed sex is a shared activity perpetuated even in this somewhat high-altitude household. What else would you logically expect? Married to a very attractive young girl many years my junior, neither "Farmville" or "Twitter" were ever likely to satisfy the libido. All of which brings us back to Christmas Eve 2009.
"I've had a fantasy," she giggled, hunched-up against the pillows that night – presumably having stacked up all my presents under the tree – I hadn't checked yet.
"Yeah?" I replied, "You want to see me wash-up, dressed like Lady Gaga?"
"Interesting thought," she said, "But no, I, er.....I want you to tie me up!
I looked at her for a moment. She didn't appear to be under the influence of any illegal substance. This was a new route entirely she was contemplating.
"C'mon," I muttered, "I left my rope on the horse out back and it's freezing tonight."
"I'm serious," she giggled afresh then, reaching down beneath her side of the bed, withdrew
two scarves of indeterminate length, dropping them delicately on the coverlet in front of me.
I began to panic. "What the Hell?" I was thinking, "I've married a street whore." The concept gained appeal even as I pondered it.
