Jiu Wei Chen had arrived in Westminster, a suburb of Denver Colorado in early April, where she had accepted a position as an Au Pair girl for a young professional couple. The weather didn't pose much of a problem getting used to, as it was only ten degrees cooler than what she had left behind in her Native Hong Kong. She had been a middle distance runner since high school and found the change in altitude from sea level to nearly a mile, more of a challenge, as it made for some tough runs for the first month until she made the adjustment.
She was enrolled at Denver University, as a master's of geology student, interested in tectonic uplift processes. Within a month of starting classes, she knew that she had made the right decision travelling halfway around the world to study. Denver was the right place and the right school to master the geology of mountain building. But to her great surprise, it was the experience of being an Au Pair that she found particularly rewarding.
The couple she was living with were amazing. She was a technical writer for a software development company that sold enterprise management applications. To Jiu it sounded as dry as chalk but Ellen, a tall freckled green eyed redhead, was by all accounts more fun than a clown's luggage. David, her husband was a large, very affable man. He was an electrical engineering consultant and former varsity wide receiver- smart and athletic. To Jiu, his look seemed so exotic, as the son of a Polish American nurse and an African American surgeon. In Hong Kong certainly, and even in the mostly white community of Westminster, guys like David were highly unusual.
Jiu saw very little of David as he travelled for work extensively, working on career and chasing the ever elusive, large annual bonus. Since Ellen worked from home two days a week, the two women soon became close and would often chat like a couple of old girl friends. As an Au Pair, Jiu was responsible for the daily care of the family's two young children, a four year old boy, Gerald, and a two year old girl, Stephany. Both kids were beautiful little precocious cherubs that soon became a labour of love for Jiu.
Gerry took very much after his father, with brooding dark eyes, olive skin and a very quick smile that easily turned to laughter. Steph was a little angel with blonde hair in ringlets and sea blue eyes with a cinnamon complexion. In exchange for managing the bulk of the children's routine; feeding, bathing, laundry etc. Jiu received a weekly income and free room and board, as well as a portion of her tuition paid for. She had Saturdays, evenings, and two afternoons off, which she filled up with lectures.
It was an adjustment but now as the new moon rose in June, the family routine was well established and everyone was content- with the possible exception of Ellen. She had grown up an only child and compromise was not something that came easily to her. She was struggling at the moment as things were not going according to her carefully laid plan. She had wanted to have three children when she and David were married fairly quickly, at least before the age of thirty. Baby number three was a year behind schedule and David was being uncooperative in knocking her up. At least she chose to blame him for not conceiving.
He was busy with travel and often tired on weekends which didn't suit Ellen's schedule at all. She needed him to be available when she was ovulating and a prerequisite for that was his being home when it happened. At first she didn't let it bother her, thinking there was always next month but now after fourteen 'next months' she was getting fed up. She wanted a moratorium on his business travel until baby number three was on the way.
If David were being honest he would admit that after adding up the cost of clothing, sports, family vacations, day care, music lessons, tuition and all the other deaths by a thousand cuts that raising children has on your finances, that he was okay having just the two. Ellen as always quick to remind him the deal was three and early, so that she would have time for a career of her own too.
Jiu had heard the two having heated discussions on the subject on a couple of occasions. She came from a very traditional Chinese family and would always retreat in silence to her room out of respect for the couple whenever they would begin to have an argument. Just last evening, the couple lost their tempers and begin yelling loud enough to be overheard easily from the confines of her room.
"Well maybe I'll just go out and find somebody else to get me pregnant if that's your attitude!" she yelled.
"Go ahead Ellen. See if I give a fuck!" he yelled in return.
"Well that's the problem David! You don't give a fuck!" she replied and it got worse from there briefly until the couple came to their senses.
David had left for a week in Boston that morning. In conversation with Ellen over coffee, after David had left, it was clear there had been a sea change in the relationship. Ellen now spoke openly with Jiu, much to her surprise about seeking out a suitable virile male to impregnate her.
"Really Ellen?" she asked, "What kind of man would you choose?"
"Well since we're spit balling here, if I could choose an ideal stud, it would be a big black guy with a nice thick cock, broad shoulders, and a nice tight ass." replied Ellen, looking boldly at Jiu, gauging her reaction.
"Oh my!" said Jiu, raising her hand to cover mouth. She was both shocked and amused at the thought of such a thing. She smiled wickedly and then asked, "How would you know to look at him if he has big thick cock?"
"Oh Lord Jiu!" laughed Ellen. "There is only one way to know for sure, I'd have to suck his dick and find out for myself" she said, then laughed hysterically. "Not that there are any hot black guys within a hundred miles of Westminster. This is the most white bread community I've ever lived in. David looks like Seal compared to everyone in this neighborhood." She laughed before taking another sip of coffee.
"Why a big black guy?" asked Jiu, genuinely curious.
"Because they are very sexy Jiu. The smell of their skin, their taste, the contrasting colour during sex, is all very erotic. You get an almost primal high satisfying the primitive instinct to fuck a big dangerous sexy man that is so fundamentally different from yourself. It's nature's reward for avoiding inbreeding. They also tend to be more aggressive and demanding in bed than white men, which makes them far better lovers- and from my experience, they have bigger, fatter cocks!" She said smiling at Jiu. "And a big fat black cock always feels pretty damn good..." she said laughing.
"Really? Black men really do have larger penises in your experience?" she asked. She had heard that before but the scientist in her forced her do the research to confirm the efficacy of the rumour. It was apparently just that, a rumour. Perhaps Ellen was lucky enough to have dated men at the large end of the bell curve exclusively.
"I was sent to a private all-girls high school after my Mom caught me sucking the black pool boy's dick. I only dated black guys once I got away from home and went to college. I took David home one Thanksgiving as a kind of compromise with my parent's on the whole interracial dating thing and we all just seemed to really hit it off. My parents stopped being openly racist about my taste in men and warmed up to him. We married a year after graduation, once he landed the job here in Denver. David is the whitest man I've been with since grade school." said Ellen, laughing
Jiu considered briefly before saying what came out next and almost didn't, but she was curious to see how she would react, so she decided to speak up. "The neighbours have started work on their new edition next door yesterday. I saw a very black man, a carpenter I think from my window this morning." she said.
"Really?" said Ellen, her face lighting up. "That's right I heard the backhoe all afternoon, yesterday. Let's have a look..." she said.
