Cass grinned up at her; she was still full of suds as the tub had been full of Stephanie’s when she laid in it. “If you do that we will never get out of here.”
“You are so anxious to go get the children?” Stephanie asked surprised.
Cass shook her head. “No, I’m anxious to get you into our bedroom and into that bed!”
Stephanie smiled in anticipation.
Cass never took a bath so fast even if the water was now cold and not a drop of hot water came through the pipes.
Stephanie did help her dry her hair and her body; the towel slowed a few times as she forgot she was helping and found herself admiring the body she wanted so badly. “Here, let me finish and we can…” Cass interrupted her slowing hands as she took the towel from them to finish drying off.
“Sorry?” Stephanie offered unrepentedly.
Cass grinned as she leaned down and gave her a kiss that actually made her toes curl. “Let’s go to bed before we get dressed and go after the children.”
Bemusedly Stephanie nodded. She wasn’t thinking too clearly and Cass led her from the bathroom, left their towels over the edge of the tub, their dirty clothes on the floor and stepping over them headed for their bedroom…naked. Stephanie had never watched Cass walk naked and it distracted her. Most of their encounters had been in bed at night or in the early morning. If Cass hadn’t been holding her hand she would have run into the wall.
As they entered the bedroom Cass turned her and pulled her into her arms kissing her deeply, almost desperately. “I love you so much,” she whispered, her hands roaming across her naked and clean skin.
“I love you too,” Stephanie tried to say but it was lost in the depth of the kiss, their tongues entwined and doing their fencing. She grabbed onto Cass’s back to hold herself from falling.
“I want to try something. I bought something in San Francisco for you and I’ve never had the chance to show you it,” Cass murmured as she caressed down Stephanie’s back to her buttocks and squeezed.
“What?” Stephanie asked bemusedly, she wasn’t thinking, she wasn’t concentrating on words but rather on what she was feeling.
Cass led her to the bed and gently lay her down on it. “I bought us a present in a store in San Francisco, I want to use it on you,” she tried to explain. Her kisses and hands were distracting Stephanie though who was already very aroused. For the first time Cass could lick and suck and nibble at Stephanie’s breasts without milk coming out of them, she took full advantage of this.
Stephanie arched into Cass and offered her body to her; she tugged at Cass who hovered over her to feel her body against her. “I want you,” she hissed as Cass’s hips touched her own and she ground a little suggestively.
“I want you too, did you hear me?” Cass asked her.
Stephanie couldn’t hear much over the blood pounding in her ears but when Cass pulled back to let her answer she opened her eyes and looked at her questioningly.
“Did you hear me when I said that I bought us a present in San Francisco?” Cass repeated.
Stephanie shook her head; she was distractedly caressing Cass’s back and moved her hand to her front to begin massaging her breast. Cass’s hand stopped her. Stephanie looked up wondering why.
“I have a present, I don’t know if you will like it but I’d like to try it on you if you are willing?”
“A present?” Stephanie asked wondering why she would bring it up at time like this. She wanted her! The children were gone! They could make love now and talk later, presents could be for later!
Cass nodded as she slowly got up. She went to the dresser where she kept her things. She had unpacked her bag long ago into the dresser and hid the present in the back of it. She hadn’t known how to introduce it into their love play and now she desperately wanted to try. She reached for the paper bag it had remained hidden in for over a year and a half and she presented it to Stephanie who had sat up on the bed to watch her with a puzzled look on her face.
“What is it?” she asked in delight at the thought that Cass had bought her a present.
“It’s a toy, a love toy. I found it in a store in San Francisco when I stopped over there.” Cass was now blushing and feeling uncomfortable but she handed the bag to Stephanie anyway as she sat on the bed.
“A toy?” Stephanie asked as she reached in the bag and pulled out a leather belt and something that looked decidedly like…she dropped it on the bed. Staring down at it in horror she looked up at Cass in bewilderment. “What IS that? Is that what I think it is?”
Cass nearly laughed but her own embarrassment wouldn’t let her. “It’s called a strap on,” she reached for the belt and showed her how it went around her hips. “It allows me to put that here,” she pointed at the hole that would hold the toy in place. “And I’ll be able to…” her embarrassment was getting the better of her; maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. But in the store the thought of using this on Stephanie or having her use it on her had gotten her aroused. She swallowed and sighed as she looked up.
Stephanie stared at the apparatus in shock at first and then as she realized the implications of it she began to be intrigued. “Can anyone use it or is it made just for you?” she asked fascinated as she looked at the belt.
“Well it’s adjustable you see,” Cass showed her as she put it on that they could pull the belt tight and that it had straps for between her legs to hold it in place. They shared a laugh when she put the life like dildo into the fitted hole and it stuck out before her.
“With that you can…” Stephanie said in wonderment and then began to realize the implications of what they could do with it.
“Only if you want to…” Cass offered. She felt ridiculous now that she was now wearing the thing. It looked grotesque on her frame and sticking out from her pelvis. “I’m sorry, this was silly,” she began as she reached to pull the belt off of her but Stephanie put out her hand to stop her.
“No, I think I’d like to try it,” she said shyly. She glanced up at Cass feeling equally as awkward. “That is if you want…”
Cass nodded and leaned down to kiss Stephanie again. They had both cooled their ardor that they had felt before but it didn’t take much to ignite it again. As she went to move against Stephanie they both laughed as she poked her with the appendage. “I’m sorry,” Cass laughed but her eyes had begun to glow as she realized that both hands could be available to caress and arouse Stephanie and she proceeded to do so.
“Don’t be, I want to try wearing it too!” Stephanie told her as she began to lay back and pull Cass’s body to her.
With a bit of adjustment they managed to get past the awkwardness of having this ‘thing’ between them and begin to make love to each other in earnest. Stephanie loved the feel of Cass’s larger body on her own and would have rolled with it to put herself on top but she was also eager to try the toy she had obtained for them. She had never thought of such a thing before but now having seen it, it made sense to her. The thought of using it on Cass made her quite wet.
Cass could scent her lover’s arousal. The mix of musk with the scent of the lavender soap made her want to touch and kiss every inch of her lover. Even with the appendage sticking out in front of her she managed to kneel down between her lovers legs for her first taste. She was surprised at how wet Stephanie was as she used a combination of her lips, her tongue, and her fingers on her arching body.
“Oh baby,” Stephanie gasped when she felt her there, she wanted her to plunge her fingers inside of her, she wanted to feel that fullness, but she also remembered the toy and wanted to try. “Don’t tease me, please…” she nearly begged.
Cass understood. She began to rub the dildo up and down Stephanie’s slit in preparation for penetrating her body. The wetness soon coated the toy and she leaned down to kiss Stephanie, playing with her breasts with her free hand to arouse her and as she began to pant she slowly began to insert the toy.
Stephanie let out a slight sigh. “That feels wonderful,
” she gasped as it went in deeper and deeper until it was a far as Cass dared. It had seemed to her to be a little big but Stephanie arched against her, ground down on it a little, and asked, “Is there more?”
Cass pulled out a little; making sure the whole thing was coated in Stephanie’s essence before she began to grind into her again.
Stephanie caught her breath, it felt full, very full, something she had never expected to experience with Cass. Her magical fingers, her tongue, and her body had always been enough before. But this, this felt different, it felt exciting and Stephanie was enjoying it. She flew as Cass thrust and twisted it into her. Cass’s head came down to lick and nibble at her nipples. Her hands held onto Stephanie’s hips to pull her closer and to hold her so that she accurately could plunge in and out.
Cass could feel her own excitement mounting as she watched the arousal increase on Stephanie’s face. Too often she had missed this as she was in the wrong position or down between her legs. Seeing her enjoying all aspects of her taking her was incredibly erotic. She felt her own crisis approach and she concentrated on holding it off as long as she could and increased her own assault on Stephanie’s body.
The effort paid off as Stephanie began to buck and twist beneath her. No longer held back by the thought that the children could possibly hear them Stephanie allowed herself to cry out at the intense orgasm that Cass gave her. She felt wonderful, she felt free, she reached out and wrapped her legs around Cass’s pistoning hips and felt another one begin before the other had fully subsided. “Oh, ohh, Ohhhh,” she cried out.
Cass had let her own orgasm fly as Stephanie had her first; she nearly missed the pleasurable moment as Stephanie flew again. The added depth that the legs wrapped around her left her had her gasping in pleasure as she plunged deeper. The delight she felt at hearing her lover’s love cries, they were like music to her ears as she growled out in her own joy at the orgasm she was experiencing. The second one that Stephanie had caught her by surprise, she had been about to stop, her legs and lower back were beginning to hurt from the unfamiliar position and exercise she was giving it but seeing Stephanie arching into the orgasm, entreating her to keep going, reaching out with her nails as she scratched and fought through the orgasm she smiled as she gave her partner that ultimate pleasure. Slowly, ever so slowly she slowed and finally pulled out. With a couple of pulls, the leather didn’t want to release too easily, she finally got the straps off. She put the well-used toy aside and gathered Stephanie close as she gasped the oxygen back into her lungs.
“That was wonderful,” Stephanie finally breathed after a very long silence. In fact, Cass had thought she had dozed off. She too would have if she didn’t think they should go pick up the children. She smiled into Cass’s face as she lifted up to look down at her. “I mean, it’s always wonderful but that was different, that was…”
“Wonderful?” Cass finished for her amused at her inability to find words.
Stephanie nodded. “I can’t wait to use that on you,” she said mischievously.
“Well, that will have to wait until another time if we are going to go pick up the children,” Cass told her.
“Can’t we pick them up in the morning?” Stephanie offered. She had never had so many child-free days and while she did miss them, she wanted this time with Cass.
“Are you sure?” Cass asked surprised. Stephanie was a good mother. That she had trusted Marabelle of all people with her children had been a shock but that she would leave them there an extra day was a bigger surprise.
Stephanie caressed along Cass’s broad shoulders with her fingertips. “I just want a little time to ourselves, without someone pulling us in five different directions. Is that selfish of me?” she asked suddenly worrying what Cass was thinking.
Cass shook her head as she realized she had most of the afternoon and night to make love to Stephanie over and over again and proceeded to do so. Cass found the same enjoyment of the toy and they got creative using it. Stephanie found that she could sit on Cass’s lap on the toy and rock back and forth, her breasts bouncing in an appreciative Cass’s face and enjoy the toy grinding against them both. Stephanie was amazed to find Cass orgasming along with her and while she tried she couldn’t quite make it happen for herself but she was willing to keep on trying until it did happen.
They found though that they didn’t need the toy though. It was a novelty, it was fun, but just the genuine love between them was more than enough to make their lovemaking pure and wonderful between them.
“We should get some food,” Cass said later, much, much later. Stephanie lay in her arms, her hair a mess as they hadn’t brushed out either of their sets of locks and instead made love for hours, something they had never had before and might never have again with five children in the house.
With robes on and looking worse for wear they scavenged in the icebox and fixed sandwiches. They didn’t want the stove on, they didn’t light a fire, and they didn’t want lights on to signal they were at home. They quickly returned to bed and to each other wrapped around each other after more lovemaking.

Cass woke up at four a.m. as she always did. She smiled contentedly. Easing her way out from under Stephanie she tried not to wake her. Patterns though made Stephanie wake up with a snort.
“Is it time to get up?” she asked groggily. She had slept so well after their marathon lovemaking the previous day. She had never felt so relaxed in all of her life. As she moved though she realized she had used a lot of muscles the day before and her body wasn’t quite used to it. “Ohhhh nooo,” she said as she laughed at herself.
“What’s wrong?” Cass asked concerned as she sat up and reached for her own robe. She needed to take another bath to not only to wash the lovemaking essence from her body but to untangle the mess she was sure her hair was in.
Stephanie explained and they shared a laugh. Cass felt her own aching muscles and was surprised at them, especially her buttocks hurt but she felt good too. It had been like a honeymoon she imagined as she went to the bathroom with the toy to wash that too.
“You want company?” Stephanie asked as she followed her in her own robe.
“Nuh uh, we will never go pick up those kids if I let you in my tub,” Stephanie teased back. It had been delightful. An escape from the harsh realities of the past days but now they needed to go back to being responsible, they had five little somebodies coming home today and needed to go pick them up.
They both ended up taking early morning baths and getting dressed for their day. Cass wasn’t the first out to the barn and already the delicious smell of fresh milk was in the air as the cows were milked. She cleaned out stalls along with some of the men and fed and watered the stock. The ducks and geese were let out in the pens for the day and the chickens out into the yard. The milk was carried over to the well house and the dairy girls were there to start making buttermilk and cottage cheese as well as butter.
Cass took a small bucket of fresh milk to the house for their breakfast. She stopped to admire the sunrise. It came up under the cloud cover and shone across the farm above the trees. Cass set down the bucket for a moment and lifted her arms in supplication, appreciating the brilliance of the sun for a moment and stretching her tired and sore muscles. She laughed at the idea of catching the ball of sun in her hands and having had her little bit of fun she leaned down to pick up the pail again and jauntily walked into the house.
Stephanie had breakfast on the table and had looked for Cass to come in. She saw her stop, put the milk pail down and as she had seen her do before she stretched into the rising sun, her hands seemed to be reaching for something and then the brilliance of the sun temporarily blinded Stephanie. By the time she stopped seeing spots she was in time to see Cass pick up the pail and head to the house with it.
“Here, let me strain that while you wash up for breakfast,” she offered as Cass leaned in for a quick kiss. It wasn’t often they were alone or so daring.
Stephani
e smiled at the impulsive kiss and then looked guiltily around to see if any of the workers might have looked through the farmhouse windows and seen them. She blushed at the thought and went to strain the milk. By the time Cass had returned there were two large cups of frothy milk on the table along with fresh eggs, bacon, and toast.
“This looks delicious,” she said delighted. She felt so good, she felt so fine, after days of hurried meals and bad food it was nice to be back home and appreciate the little things, together.

Later as they drove the Model T down to Brokaw to pick up the children they talked about things they wanted to do on the farm, things they might do eventually, and just made plans between them. As they pulled up at Marabelle’s place the children came running at the familiar truck. Marabelle and another gal came out carrying the babies and her husband had the children’s things. They looked pleased to see them.
As Cass began packing their things in the back and talking to the excited children Marabelle watched her and realized how different Cass was. She hadn’t seen her since before the war, this Cass she didn’t know, this Cass was different. She looked at her a long time and realized, Cass was happy, she was content and seeing the subtle byplay between her and Stephanie, something no one else would notice she realized what the two of them had and she resented every bit of it.
“I can’t thank you enough,” Stephanie told them both.
Marabelle could only smile as her husband waved off their thanks. “Ach, what is a little thing like this between friends eh?”
Cass smiled and waved as they drove away. She had never considered him a friend as she paid for his prize bull to service her cows. Marabelle had been her friend, but that was a long time ago, a lifetime ago. Her future, she glanced at Stephanie, her family, she glanced over the seat to the five children who had not stopped talking to the two adults, these were her future.
She shared a smile with Stephanie as they drove back towards Merrill and then turned off at their own driveway on a side road. The roads were bumpy but the truck effortlessly bounced them over the rocks and ruts in the roads. As they drove up the long drive, the huge pine trees lining it tall and straight, this was it, their long journey home was over…they had nothing but sunrises in their future…together.
