He soon learns the girl is a runaway and no real place to go. He takes her home and they eventually fall in love with each other, but legal issues threaten to ensnare their maturing love for each other. (Mf, ped, 1st, rom, military) *** I. Laura Rose Wright was sixteen when she decided it was time to get out of the house and find someplace better. There had to be someplace better. She just knew in her mind she had to get away from things at home. Her step- father really wasn't her step-father, but her mother told her he was. He was okay but little better than an authoritarian figure who wanted everything his way. Laura knew she was taking a risk running away from home. She knew what to expect. She'd read the stories and accounts of young girls who'd run away from home to only be kidnapped and raped and those killed. As far as bus stations went, the one in her home town of Berea, Kentucky enabling Laura's escape wasn't too seedy. There were no drunk, homeless guys trying to hit on the cute little runaway waiting on the bench: Only the middle-aged ticket vendor who raised a questioning eyebrow at her when she slid the money across the counter for a ticket to Kansas City, Missouri. She went into the Ladies Room using a stall she counted out the remainder of the money. The money for the bus ticket was stolen from her drunken step father as he slept on the coach watching television. Empty beer cans were stacked in a pyramid on the floor like a trophy. She knew as she counted out the money she had just enough to get her as far as Kansas City: didn't matter which side of the river, just Kansas City would be a start. She figured if she were cautious in spending it only on necessities, she may have just enough to get her to Denver. Laura wasn't sure what she would do after that. Her goal was west, anywhere west. She took a bench close to the ticket counter. She knew she was inexperienced at this sort of thing. She had been around with her friends but never alone, she just wanted to get away from her life in Berea. Brushing her long brown hair from her eyes she looked around to see if anyone were watching her. She knew enough to be suspicious of strangers. She watched as a couple men entered taking seats talking and looking around. The girl tried to will herself in to invisibility. A half hour later the bus arrived. The vendor announced the arrival of the bus as it drew up to the platform. A few people got off then she and one other person boarded the bus; placed the two bags of clothes and some personal items in the overhead rack and took a seat. She was on her way west as the bus pulled out from the station. By the third stop west the bus was nearly full as people got on and off. The bus arrived in Louisville stopping there for a rest and change of drivers and refuelling. She got off the bus with the other people but stayed close until it was time to leave. She walked along the platform more for the exercise and thinking some more about the fact she had left home and people she knew. Laura considered the fact she was at the beginning of a new time in her young life. She was alone for the first time. Laura looked at the people milling around between busses, waiting for others to arrive or some to depart. She stopped her pacing as she noticed a man who stood out among the others in the crowd. She knew to a point he was a military man. Kentucky had two big Army posts that much she knew. She looked around at the others near her then back at him; he was the only one in a military uniform catching a bus. What caught her attention were the aviator's sun glasses that hide his eyes. Unconsciously she brushed a lock of hair back then twisted it between her fingers as she tried not to stare at him. Without the girl realizing it, the man was watching her. He liked what he saw. Despite her clothes, the plain appearance he noticed her slight figure and long chestnut hair. The girl seemed to be traveling alone; no one was with her and no one paid attention to her. But his luck the other seat was probably taken. He did not have any ulterior motives, just somebody to pass the time with. People began boarding the bus. She got on resuming her seat. The bus was nearly full when he finally got on, looked around. The seat next to the girl was empty. He decided the only seat left was the one beside the girl. He couldn't believe his luck. "Excuse me, Miss but is this seat taken?" Laura glanced up at the stranger, sans the sun glasses. She stared in to the dark eyes gazing back at her. She shook her head: "No" then looked away. She looked away then out the window trying to ignore the other. He took off his jacket and beret placing them in the space above him then settled in to the seat. Almost instantly he closed his eyes and seemed asleep. Laura glanced over at him: Some people she thought could sleep anywhere. The bus backed away from the platform and pulled out into city traffic and was moving toward the expressway and west again. It was nearly an hour later Laura checked her watch that the man asked her anything. On occasion his eyes opened, he seemed to stare at the seat in front of him. It was as if his mind were miles away from the bus and people around him. They were in Indiana, nearly to Indianapolis when the driver was on the PA system announcing their next stop and dinner at a roadside restaurant. The stranger finally stirred sitting up. "God I am sore. I've had better seats on a C130." Laura grinned as he tried to stretch in his seat. "Tight, huh?" He smiled at her. The first time that day that he smiled. "Not as tight as the inside of a tank turret." She was puzzled by the comment. "Tank turret?" The bus slowed entering the spacious parking area. "Yeah. Tanks – Army. Just got finished with NCOES at Fort Knox. I knew I should have driven my truck there. Instead I flew into Louisville going to Fort Knox but for some reason, I decided to take the scenic route back by bus. Oh, sorry, Jim Anderson." Laura offered him her hand. They shook, her eyes opened slightly at the pressure from his hand. She liked the feel of the pressure and slight shake. "Laura Wright. Where too?" "Fort Carson. Colorado to be extact." They stood to join the others as they got off the bus, Jim reaching up to get his beret, asked: "Um, I haven't been very sociable. Just tired from the last week and finals we had to take. Worse then college. May I buy you dinner?" Laura was surprised by his offer. It would save her buying her own and save on her money. "Oh, thank you," she said as she followed Jim into the restaurant. The staff seemed to be expecting them as fifty passengers walked in to the waiting area. Laura stayed close to Jim as the group moved forward and shown to tables. They were quickly taken care of by the waitress. It didn't take them but a couple minutes to make their choice and sip their drinks in the meantime. "Thank you, Jim." "You looked hungry. Traveling long?" "Since Berea. Its east of Louisville in Kentucky." "If I may, where to?" Laura hesitated then said: "Kansas City." She almost anticipated his next question. "Friends – family?" Laura hesitated then shrugged, watching Jim's reaction. "None of my business," he said in answer. "You – you won't say anything, will you?" Jim shook his head leaning forward on the table. He suspected the girl was running away from a situation and this was her way out. Laura proceeded to tell her story under her breath. Jim listened then Laura stopped as their meals were brought to them. Laura continued her story. "As I was saying, Jack brings home some of his buddies, so to speak. I'm supposed to be the hostess if you will to that bunch. Get them beers, whiskey and junk. Mom was usually working at a convenience store, she'd bring home the beer. Anyway Jack was supposed to be working for a local concrete company. I think he was off work more than he was working." "So what are you going to do now?" Jim asked as they finished up, the waitress brought then dessert. "Mind if I ask you something?" Laura shook her head lifting her eyes to look at Jim. "What are you going to do if your Mom calls the police and there's an APB or an Amber Alert out for you?" Laura lowered her head. "I don't know. I guess I didn't think that far ahead." The girl was now just as depressed as when she got on the bus. Jim thought for a minute. He didn't need to ask her age, her looks told him she was definitely underage. Hooking up with an underage girl would mean the end of a promising career in the Army. He knew. A couple guys in another platoon in his company were sharing a prison cell for a few years – all because of a couple local underage girls. They went outside and got on the bus resuming their seats. Jim leaned toward Laura. "Look, if you don't mind hanging out with an older guy for a couple days we -- meaning you and me, can maybe we put something together on this. Okay?" Laura knew enough to be suspicious. "What are you thinking?" "You said you want to go to the west coast, right?" "Yes." "And from what you said, you just have enough to make it – maybe to Denver." Laura nodded her head. "Colorado Springs okay?" He wondered if he were doing the right thing. But he could tell the girl was nearing the end of her money and would need a place to stay for a couple days. He had a pretty good idea what would happen to her when she used up her money. "I guess so. I mean it's the same as Denver – Right?" Jim had been checking the girl out from time to time. He liked what he saw. Although he anticipated Laura was underage, she had a nice petite figure, five-five if that; nice shoulder length brown hair and eyes, but despite the extreme risk, he decided to take the chance just the same and help her. "Depends. It's a very military town. A friend of mine works for a company now that's thirty-five per cent former military: mostly Air Force, some Army, some Navy, and a couple token Marines." "Oh." The girl smiled at Jim as he related a few more facts about Colorado Springs. By the time they reached Indianapolis they were holding hands. The remainder of the trip Laura stayed by Jim's side. That night they held hands, Laura liked the feel of his hand holding hers. The next day on Jim's suggestion at Limon she changed her ticket to Colorado Springs. They changed busses left the Limon Truck Stop behind and started toward Colorado Springs. It was evening as they pulled out of Limon Truck stop headed west. Jim settled back for the last leg of their trip west. He said: "You need someplace to crash for a couple days, I suppose?" "Yes. But I don't know what I am going to do now." "Look, I have a place – a mobile home you might say. Nice, comfy and quiet and people in this place are a bit above average: they mind their own business." "You mean I can stay with you for a while?" She asked not sure if she should be happy or suspicious of Jim. She only knew Jim for a couple days. "Well I don't want to intrude." "No problem," he assured her taking hold of her hand. "There's enough room in there for a couple tank sections to take up residency. And as I said, you need some place to settle in to and think about your next move." "I suppose." Jim's offer was too good to be true. Maybe she should have said "No" and left it alone, but she didn't. He offered her a place to stay. She could rest and relax and think about her decision to run away. The worse was Denver and who knows what can happen on strange streets? An hour and a half later they arrived in Colorado Springs the bus driver followed his way along Union Boulevard from US 24 to Wahsatch Avenue and the bus station. Laura was feeling a bit uneasy as she followed Jim off the bus, claimed her two bags and Jim his bags. The girl followed him to the taxi stand where a couple taxi drivers were waiting for the bus and cab fares. Jim claimed a taxi, the driver put their bags in the trunk, gave the driver his address to the trailer court off Circle and Lake Avenue and they were off across town. Jim gave Laura a quick guided tour of the city. A short time later they arrived at the trailer court and his "home." "One of the benefits of being single and a senior NCO – get to live off post." He paid the driver and the cab was gone in a matter of seconds. He unlocked the door after three months absence and was met by the stale odors. "My humble abode. Welcome home." "Nice," Laura said looking around as Jim turned on the lights. Jim took his bags back to his room then showed Laura what would be her room in the mean time. "The guy who runs the court is pretty decent. He kept an eye on the place while I was at school. Most things I put on what they call vacation. TV cable and telephone for one I put on vacation until I got back. I'll have them turned back on tomorrow." She looked around a minute then sat on the sofa. She liked what she saw in the place: nicer than even the ramshackle place she left behind. "Go ahead and take a shower and get cleaned up. Busses aren't exactly meant for the best in body hygiene." "Thanks." She went to the room and her bags and was soon in the shower. She wanted to stay there. The warm water ran over her young body washing away the days of sweat and dirt and odors from the busses. She knew one of these days she would have to treat herself to a bubble bath. "And Champaign..." she decided. She dried herself and slipped on her favorite T-shirt and cut-off jeans. She looked down at her feet. No slippers or anything other than the shoes she was wearing when she left home. She wondered if Jim would mind. She cleaned up the bathroom knowing he'd want to take one too. Laura stepped out of the bathroom with her dirty clothes in hand. "Washer and dryer are on the left," Jim told her from the living room. She saw the machines and soon had her things in the washer. Jim stepped in to the bath room to take his shower and get ready for the next day; within a short time they were settled in for the night. Later he gave her all the instructions she would need while he was at Post. "Gotta be back to duty tomorrow. I leave about four-thirty in the morning. Here's a key for the place. There's a shopping center and Target within walking distance. Problem is, it's a decent walk west from here and on the other side of the highway." Jim placed the key in Laura's hand. That would be it until the next day. Laura lay in bed thinking about Jim who was just across the hall. On the bed side table laid the key he gave her. The last couple days were all chance and fate. She could be on her own in Denver not knowing what to do. She thought about it for a long time before eventually falling asleep. Other than kindness, what was his motive? The one thing she recalled that made sense from Jack was: Everyone has a motive for something. She awoke near four-thirty in time to hear the door close. A couple minutes later a truck engine start up and drive off. She stepped out of the room it was still dark outside despite the street lights. Jim had only left a small lamp on near the front door. She looked around then realized in her daze she was alone. On the table was a note and money. "Cash?" she said as she counted it. She knew without a doubt she could have taken the money and "run" with it; but she didn't. The note read: "Be home by six. My cell phone # 393- 0205, Jim" Laura wasn't sure what to do now. She sat on the sofa thinking. This could be home if Jim let her stay here. Last night she lay in bed and no one bothered her. Of course she had to think, like her, Jim was out like a light. Busses aren't exactly meant for getting a restful sleep. She lay on the sofa until day light, got herself some dry cereal – no milk, but she was hungry, she'd get something else later. She found an old boot string, fastened the key to it and hung it around her neck for safe keeping. Late morning Laura walked up to the Target and just as Jim had told her, it was on the other side of the highway. She walked around and shopped, found a McDonald's for a lunch and looked around at the area and eventually made her way back to Jim's place. She put her purchases away and looked in the refrigerator again to see what he had. Still nothing. He used it or gave the leftovers to his neighbors before leaving for Kentucky. She knew she should have checked the stores nearby to see what they offered. She still had time to do something. She found his stash of cleaning supplies and decided to do something about three months' worth of dust. Within a short time she had the place looking good again. Shortly Jim was getting home from duty on post. "Laura!" he called as he entered with the first load of bags of groceries he'd bought at the commissary on Post. "Jim...," she took the first load of groceries from him then there was more. "This should hold us until the end of the month and I can get more; got my travel pay today," he told her as they put things away. "Go to Target?" "Yes, and you're right – on the other side of the highway." "Homemade burgers and fries on short notice?" He slid a hand over the counter which last night was dusty. Today it was clean. Laura watched with a coy smile as Jim slid his hand over a book shelf and checked his fingers for dirt. "Clean." Habit. "That would be good. I'll fix them." She started fixing the hamburgers and the fries went in the oven as he changed out of his uniform. He came out of the back a few minutes later. "A couple things we have to look at here. I'll be going as they call it down range – the field for about a week. Whatever you want to do is alright with me. Um, but no noisy parties. Dudley doesn't like them. I'll be back late Friday." "Who's Dudley?" "Property manager." As the burgers were frying she looked up at Jim leaning against the counter. "I can stay here? That whole week?" The girl was astounded at the offer. Jim shrugged. "You don't have any place to be in a hurry, right?" Laura shook her head. "No." They talked about his day on the Army post and what she could do the rest of the time. He told her more about the area. Laura listened and added her dreams about what she wanted for a future. "It's so peaceful here. For the first time I felt so relaxed," she said as she served up the burgers and fries. Jim looked at the girl in denim cut offs, a T-shirt and no shoes. It had been a long time since he came home to a woman waiting for him like this. He wasn't sure how to term it, but Laura could have been his daughter. He had to admit on the other hand; to him the girl was cute and good looking. They ate then as they sat in front of the television he polished his boots and fixed a clean uniform for the next day. Laura watched him more then the television. This had never been part of her life. This marked a new beginning for her. She had to reason that here she was living with a man now, for however long that would be. She wondered, not for the first time if Jim would accept her in to his life permanently. That thought would haunt her for awhile yet. Considering he had to be up early during the week, he headed off to bed. "Nite' and don't sit up too late." He said as he went his room. "Nite'," she said watching him as he went to his room. The show meant little to her now, another of those inane comedies that had little or no plot to it. After a few minutes of channel surfing she gave up and went to bed herself. She lay in bed wondering what Jim may have been thinking. She tossed and turned for awhile before finally falling into a restless asleep. She woke in time to hear the door close. The bedside clock showed four- thirty. "Like yesterday." She soon fell back asleep. Sunlight sliced through the curtains and blinds waking her. Laura lay in bed for a few more minutes enjoying the feeling of peacefulness. She could make out the sound of traffic on Lake Avenue and other sounds. But it was nothing like she usually heard back home. Her stepfather was out of work more than working and drinking with his buddies more than looking for work or something. Laura considered that she had been shopping the day before and the walk was okay but two days in a row – Not. She finally got up, dressed in her cut offs and T-shirt. This morning she had all the fixings for a decent breakfast. She decided to thaw a pack of pork chops for tonight. For lack of anything else to do she cleaned the mobile home again until it looked spotless. She sat back at the table to enjoy what she had done. While cleaning she found Jim's stash of western lore books and a stack of photo albums. She sat back on the floor with one of the albums opened it and began browsing the pictures. Many were old photos of Jim when he was younger, others of different parts of the world where he had been stationed. She selected another album. She stopped short. It was family photos, a young girl and a beautiful woman. She flipped through the pages until she reached the last page and stopped. Newspaper clippings and a bulletin type memo. Laura felt tears trickle down her face as she read the clippings and the funeral notice. Laura put the albums back, selected one of a series of westerns to read. She moved to the sofa feeling troubled by what she found. "Killed by a drunk driver..." The words seemed to echo through her mind. She felt like an intruder reading the notice and looking at the album. However, she was soon engrossed in the book and forgot to check the time. She realized what time it was when the truck pulled in to the parking space. Jim was home by five thirty with a few more things he'd bought at the shopette on Post. As he set the bags of extra food down Jim ran his hand over the counter surface. "Clean?" He asked looking at Laura. She smiled. He leaned over to kiss her on the cheek. "Thank you." Laura blushed as Jim kissed her. Laura had supper ready for him as he changed. He could smell the frying pork chops all the way back to the bedroom. He recalled for a short time that supper was always ready for him. Then for the longest time, it was either the mess hall or some fast food place for his meals. She never said anything about her discovery in the book case among the western paperbacks. Maybe that was why he took her off the streets and under his care. He didn't want anything to happen to her. She felt the pain of his loss. Laura wept. Jim sat on the edge of the bed thinking about Laura and trying to make a connection to the past. He was tired of his own cooking; it was nice now that he had Laura, who was willing to pick up the slack on some things. Next week he would see. That would be the test of their short time together. If she stayed then he would have to come up with an idea what to do. Right now he wasn't too certain. He sure didn't want anyone to think he had an underage girl with him and their word against his. Hello Bruno at Canon City State Prison. Then it hit him. The First Sergeant from another company and his wife were guardians for her nephew, the boy's parents had been killed in an accident on an interstate during a snow storm two years ago. That made sense – he hoped. He hoped Laura would buy off on the idea. They ate, Jim telling Laura about his day on Post, the girl was enjoying this time, it was different than what she had back home. Finally Jim leaned forward on his elbows on the table. "I got an idea what we can do about our relationship if people – anybody gets too nosey." Jim knew what would happen. "Do you think somebody will?" "Maybe but why take a chance? "Then what do you suggest?" She was worried now that the authorities would be told about her. "My niece." Jim watched the girl's reaction. She seemed a bit surprised by his suggestion. He continued: "I have a sister – I have a niece, her name happens to be Laura, after a special aunt of ours. Laura happens to be in college now as I recall. The flip side of this idea is this: Until we can get things straightened out you're my niece. Okay?" "What do you mean? I am your niece?" She wrinkled up her nose wondering about Jim's idea and the plan behind it. "My beloved sister (sic) has for some reason – you fill in the blank – has sent you out to me to take care of. Indefinitely. Next idea – if – and you'll have some time to think about this – guardianship." "You'd be my guardian?" Laura was surprised that Jim would even think of that. "But..." Jim held up a hand stopping her: "We'll worry about how to approach your Mother on that point later." They did up the dishes and Jim explained the laws of guardianship versus foster parent for a minor. The week after he got back from the field he'd have time to find a lawyer to do the paperwork for them on the guardianship. They finally sat down to watch some TV while he polished his boots and fixed another clean uniform. Still not much interested either of them. Their minds were on the concept of him being her guardian. Laura finally spoke up: "Jim, you know what that almost makes me?" Jim looked over at her. "The same thing I've been thinking about all day." "That would make me your daughter." "Do you want that?" Laura was thoughtful as she said: "If it's okay, I probably need to think about it first." "Like I said, we're in no hurry right now. And you have next week to think about it." Laura nodded her head. "I know." Jim was in and out the next few days getting his platoon ready for down range – or field duty. Laura was there when he got home each night. The girl would have supper waiting for him. The subject of the guardianship was not brought up, although they knew the other was thinking about it each day. Saturday night Jim gave Laura final instructions what to do while he was gone. He went to the property manager to let him know about Laura and that the girl had been literally dumped on him at the last minute. The manager assured Jim he'd keep an eye on her while he was gone. "I hated telling him a tall tale but it was the best I could come up with." Laura leaned across the sofa and kissed Jim on the cheek. "Thanks – Dad, or Uncle Jim." II. One thing about military field problems, the enlisted men and non-commissioned officers have lots of time to sit and think or do something else while the brass makes up their collective minds what they want to do next. Sgt First Class Jim Anderson stared east across the open expanse of Fort Carson's down range from the tank commander's position wondering what to do with the girl. He had not said anything to anyone, other than the mobile home park manager about her. His mind had been on her ever since they met on the bus from Louisville, Kentucky. He couldn't get over the fact she was cute and young and desirable; all the traits that could get him into no end of legal trouble. The word pedophile echoed through his mind like a gong. His idea of her being his niece would help some, but for how long could they play that game? On the other hand the girl needed something better in her young life and he had the resources to help her. Jim had to consider one other thing; he had someone to come home to besides an empty house and a television. Laura stared at the television show which could hardly be called entertainment. The idea of Jim being her guardian would provide her with some assurance of permanence and give her a better place to live other than on-the-road or some sleazy place to crash for awhile. She had to admit up to now Jim had been good to her and trusted her with his home. It was nice and neat and quiet, and there wasn't a bunch of drunks hanging around wanting to hit on her. She had time that week to give thought to all the pros and cons of the situation. She could not deny one thing, she was feeling something toward the man she had only known for a short time before the guy found someone else – and she was back to being alone again. While she was alone she had the radio or TV and Jim's collection of western lore books to read and to take her mind off her situation. Each night she read one of the books until she fell asleep. She began the habit when Jim was gone at night to leave the radio on, and night light for back ground noise and to see by. She spent the free time during the day walking around the area, she walked up to the shopping center a couple times more for something to do and "home" again. When she reached the mobile home she stood inside the door for a moment staring in to space. She tested the word again: "home"; she looked around with a new view of the mobile home. It almost was not a mobile home but that was not what made her think of this as home: it was her and Jim, even though he was twenty years her senior she had him to herself. "What's it like to have a man to call mine?" she wondered as she walked around the inside taking a fresh view of things. Laura walked around the house looking it over again. Even though it was not the largest of its kind, she had gotten to know every corner and shelf and closet since she had been there; however, she looked at those things with a new view point. If she were to go along with Jim's idea this could all be hers too; she'd have a life better than the one she left behind. Friday afternoon the armor and infantry brigade rolled back in to the cantonment area and the "bird-bath" where the vehicles were hosed down washing off a week's worth of dirt. Jim still could not get the girl off his mind. The commanders were happy with the outcome of the field problem, everyone was happy for once; so why wasn't he happy? Jim waited until after the evening formation and his platoon dispersed he walked over to his truck and got in, started the engine and pulled out of the parking area and drove out B Street gate past two bored MP's. From B Street it was just a short drive home – and Laura. He finally had someone to come home to. He pulled in to his parking space, from the back of the truck he pulled out his duffle bags and back pack with a week's worth of dirty uniforms and field gear and dragged them toward the front door when it opened. The beaming face of Laura appeared at the door. "Jim!" "Laura..." She stepped out to help with the bags. "Jim, I want you to know its -- yes." He stopped at the door long enough to look in to her eyes and smile and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "We'll have to now see what your mother thinks of all this." She wrinkled her nose: "Hum, I hate to say..." They lightly laughed as he sniffed at his underarms. "I know, one of the hazards of field duty, no showers until you get back." Laura waited as Jim showered off a week's worth of sweat and grime and changed and came out of the room a little more civilized. Laura waited expectantly in the living room area for Jim. He was nicely dressed. He stopped near her and asked: "Do you want to call your Mother now or later?" "Let's do it now. Get it over with." "Sure." He picked up the telephone, looking at the time then estimating the time in Kentucky. Handing the phone to her he punched the speaker button. He sat beside her as she dialed the phone number. The telephone was answered on the third ring. Laura said with some fear to her voice. "Mom? It's Laura..." "Laura, where are you?" The woman said in her Southern drawl. "Colorado Springs." "You with some guy out there? His name came up on the caller ID." Jim had to think fast. Laura flicked a glance at Jim as she said: "I – I met Jim on the bus." She instantly knew what her mother was thinking – and smiling; the girl had been taken by him and was his sex toy now. "Oh? Figures. Well, for your information Jack and I were thinking about leaving this hayseed burg anyway. So I guess unless you plan on coming back here in the next couple days, you might as well do something else then." Laura quickly said: "Mom, Jim was thinking about if you approve it, he wants to be my guardian. He wants a lawyer to do the paperwork and send it to you for your signature." "No kidding. Fancy that. I'll have to think about it. Strange." Jim and Laura felt their hearts sink. The girl said in defense: "Mom, I've had a lot of time to think about this. I'm not coming back there anyway, no matter what. Jim has been good to me and helped me." She grasped his hand squeezing it. "No matter what you do, it doesn't matter. I'm not coming back -- there." "So you want to stay out there?" "Yes." Silence then she said: "Okay. You have a week anyway before we leave. Jack finally has some work here anyway." Jim leaned over to give Laura a kiss on the cheek. Laura's Mother didn't even bother to say good-bye she just hung up the phone. Laura began crying as she hung up the phone. Jim took the girl in his arms to comfort her. "You just burned that bridge, honey. Nothing you can do but go straight ahead." Laura lowered her head and nodded. Jim said in as consoling a tone as possible: "It's not pleasant when your Mom or anyone rejects you after all these years. Basically, you've been abandoned." "You gotta know my mom. She's not exactly a candidate for parent of the year." The girl was silent for a minute as she wiped the tears from her face. "I did give this a lot of thought," she sobbed. "I am not going back there. And they're leaving anyway. Probably Vegas." Jim was silent as Laura cried and there was nothing in Berea for her anymore. Jim took the girl in his arms and held her for nearly a half hour before either stirred again. "Okay?" he asked. "Something I need to know for peace mind: Any relatives? Aunts? Uncles? Older brothers, sisters? Grandparents? Father?" Laura sniffled. "Not that I am aware of. My grandparents, both are gone. My mother had a sister if I recall, but I never met her. No brothers or sisters. Father, I don't know." "`Cause the reason I ask: the court can have the court there investigate this to see if there are any living relatives." "Then what?" "I'd lose you – that fast." "Yeah. I guess it would happen." "All you can do is move forward now." Jim held her as she nodded her head. "Monday I'll go see a lawyer recommended to me by one of my men. Had to do the same thing for his nephew." "I'm sorry, Jim. I am. I didn't expect this." "Hey, people act in strange ways when confronted by something they are not use to." "But it'd be different if Mom wasn't hooked up with this guy Jack she met at a bar or something." "That's what changed everything for you," Jim told her as she sat up. "Still want to go out for a bite?" "Sure, I don't mean to spoil this. I see Denny's is just up the road a piece." "Sure. Ready?" Laura sniffled again and nodded her head trying to smile. "Yeah." That was Laura's first time in Jim's truck. Jim tried to get the mood up beat for the girl as they drove up to Denny's. Parked and went inside. The hostess found them a table and a waitress promptly brought them drinks while they looked over the menu. Neither brought up the subject of Laura's call to her Mother; they managed to talk about everything but the phone call. She perked up and asked about the field problem he was just on. To him it was just another training mission, to Laura it was fascinating. She had decided if she were to live with Jim, she might as well learn the military jargon. They got back close to eight o'clock and Jim had to be up early again. Laura stepped in to her room but held the door open a crack as Jim went in to his. Laura watched for a minute until the light that shone under the door went out. She watched Jim's room for another minute before closing her own. She thought for a minute as she leaned against the door: "Am I in love with him? He's old enough to be my father. But still – am I falling in love with him?" Jim was gone to Post at his usual time. Laura lay in bed thinking more about him. In the few short days that she had been with Jim he had not tried anything with her, forced her to do anything against her will. She had a nice place to stay. Food, dry place and safe; she could almost do what she wanted. Jim's unit worked Saturday putting everything back together and ready for the commander's final inspection that afternoon. Then along with the other platoon sergeants he had to suffer through the commander's meeting and didn't make it home until nearly five- thirty. "Ah, tomorrow..." he moaned as Laura sat beside him on the sofa. "What about tomorrow?" she asked leaning down to untie his field boots. "Sunday. What do you want to do tomorrow?" Laura shrugged. "We'll see – what is the area like?" "A tourist trap." Jim laughed as the girl tugged a boot off. "What else do you want to see?" Laura made a face: "Clean socks." "Gotcha." Jim looked down at his feet as Laura laughed. "Getting supper ready," she said with a laugh getting up to go to the kitchen. As Jim changed out of the field uniform he began to think the girl was becoming more like a wife the longer she stayed with him. That wasn't a bad thing. He missed the gentleness, the softness, the pleasure of a woman's touch. Monday would start a series of legal actions to become her guardian. Otherwise the county social welfare system would take over and they have a tendency to mess things up; make it worse than it really is. Sunday they toured the area, Jim showing her the sights and playing tour guide. They had lunch at a Village Inn and were soon back home. On the way home they stopped in a store that sold cell phones and service. Jim bought her a pay-as-you-go cell phone. He realized early on she didn't have one. They arrived home tired from their day out. Neither were sure what they wanted to do now as Jim sat in his easy chair and Laura on the sofa. For a moment there was a mischievous look in the girl's eye which Jim almost missed. She got up and stepped over to Jim and the chair and sat in his lap putting her arms around his neck surprising him. Jim kept his hands on the arms of the chair despite wanting to put them around the girl. "Something I need to say," she said as she hugged Jim, "thank you, for everything. I – I never had anything like this." Then she kissed him. "That's another thank you for what you're doing." "Thank you," Jim replied kissing the girl as he slipped his arms about her hugging her. They looked at each other for a few seconds. Their lips met and soon their tongues were engaged in a ballet of love. Jim did all he could to keep his hands on Laura's waist. He wanted to feel her small firm young breasts and slip his hand between her legs to feel her tender young pussy. He held on to Laura as she rested her head on his shoulder. They sat for a while longer just holding on to each other. III. Even with the brief moment of intimacy they shared, they eventually went their separate ways to their own rooms. He had his usual morning responsibilities, getting the troops in the billets up, PT, commander's meeting, and then he'd be out of there hopefully by nine. Laura lay under the covers thinking of the long intimate kisses she shared with Jim; she'd never been kissed before. She imagined it; she imagined what it would be like. A couple boys back home tried it with her but she managed to stop them. She liked being held by Jim, his strong arms about her waist. She felt a tingling sensation between her legs she'd only felt a few times before but didn't know what to do about it. She lay on her side staring at the door wondering what Jim was doing. The thought of kissing a girl as young as Laura gave Jim another good hard on as he gave her a lot of thought. Jim knew this could change his life taking on the responsibility of a young girl. So far she had been the help he wished he had so many times before. He wondered what the lawyer and a judge would say about his becoming her guardian. He only knew what she had told him about her. There was nothing in the way of family relationship. She was some homeless waif he'd actually picked up on the bus: a runaway. By lunch time Jim with Laura beside him was sitting in the lawyer's office. The lawyer sat back listening as the two explained to him the situation. The lawyer was former military himself and took on many military cases in the past couple years. His other good side: couldn't stand welfare and socialists either; a pain in his side. The lawyer turned to Jim: "And the Mother is willing to give up custody and there are no living relatives on either side?" Laura shook her head. "None." He made some notes then called his paralegal in. "Gotta have this done ASAP Christie and in the mail today." He turned to Jim. "You're going to be available for the signature later?" "Yes. How long?" Jim asked. "A half hour," the girl replied as she exited the office. "We'll wait." Shortly the paralegal had the Guardianship papers typed and on the lawyer's desk in the time she said. It was signed, notarized, and sent off to Kentucky by the time the mailman made his rounds to exchange mail with them. "It'll probably be next week before I get anything back. Of course I'll give you a call." "Great." Jim and Laura left the office subdued. They knew they'd have to wait, since there was nothing else for them to do. They returned home, Jim changing back in to his uniform as Laura sat in the living room waiting for him. He finally came out to put his boots back on. He reached over to rub her back. Laura finally leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. "Thank you, Jim." Jim kissed her and finished tying his boots. "We can only hope your Mother signs the papers – and at the same time, have it notarized and sent back in a timely manner." Jim kissed her again and left to return to post. Laura had supper nearly ready by the time Jim stepped in the door. Jim slipped an arm about Laura's waist. "You're spoiling me." Laura smiled as she opened the oven. "Ta da. Herb Chicken. Found it in a cook book earlier." She reached up to kiss him. He said lightly: "That I like." The rest of the week seemed to crawl by with infinite slowness as each day they expected a call from the lawyer's office. It was Friday when the paralegal called. Laura was home when the phone rang late in the afternoon. "This is Ms. Jennings from Bowers Law Office, is Mr. Anderson there?" "Sorry, he's at Post on duty. He won't be home until maybe five." Then she asked: "Did she sign? My Mother that is?" "That I can't say. I am not a lawyer. The papers did come back and Mr. Bower has them on his desk now." "Oh. Thank you." Laura hung up the phone then called Jim's cell phone. It was off. She then called the unit orderly room. A Specialist answered the phone then said: "Yes. Ma'am, he's with the First Sergeant right now. I'll have him call you back as soon as he's finished." Laura laid out his best clothes for him to change when he got home. Then Laura waited and waited, nervous. Jim arrived home near his usual time to find a scared girl waiting for him. "What happened?" "You didn't get the message?" Laura asked tearfully. "The documents arrived this afternoon!" "What! I'll kill a CQ runner myself!" Then he thought to check his cell phone. "Oh sh...!" The voice message icon was on. Jim grabbed up the phone to call the lawyer. The call was transferred: "Yeah, I was expecting you this afternoon," he said testily. "What happened?" "Never got the message until I got home." "Well get down here, I'm waiting." Jim changed as fast as possible and they were off to the lawyer's office. They arrived forty-five minutes later. The paralegal was waiting for them when they arrived. She showed them into Bowers' office. "To make this short, she did sign, now it's up to the judge to sign off on this. I know which one I want." "Good," Jim sighed as Laura held his hand and squeezed. "But first things first. By law you'll have to satisfy him that this is all above board and I'll say this, this is nothing compared to a promotion board. You'll think you're going up before the E-five board again." "What does that mean?" Laura asked. "How you two met, and where? Why Mr. Anderson offered you a place to stay? What's happened since then? That's just to name a few questions." "When will this happen?" Jim asked. "Ninety days, then Christie will call the judge's chambers for a date and time." He said adding: "I know about last minute deployments and down-range time, so keep me posted. If I have to, I can have the date and time moved up or back if I have to. Oh, and one more thing, who'll watch her while you're in the field or deployed. Have all that information available when you meet with the judge." It was nearly six-thirty before they stepped out of Bower's office. The paralegal was already gone. "Well it wasn't such a disaster after all," she said as they stood beside the truck and hugged for a minute. "But I'm still killing a CQ runner Monday," Jim said with a grin as he turned to help Laura into the big four-wheel drive." The last was easy. They drove back to the mobile home park, thrilled her mother had signed, but still subdued. Jim wanted to treat Laura to a night out but a damper had been put on his plans. He took Laura over to some friends of his, a middle aged couple; he was an E6 soon to make E7 and his wife Marcie worked for an insurance agent nearby. Marcie answered the door: "Jim! Come in. And who is this lovely girl?" "Hi. Marcie." Jim gave her a kiss on the cheek as they stepped in the door. He made the introductions then said: "That's what I need to talk to you and Jerry about. Is he here?" "Yes. Jerry!" Marcie stepped back as they entered and a middle aged man with pre-mature graying hair stepped out of the back. "Jim. So how was NCOES?" "A country club. I thought it was supposed to be harder than it was." Jim turned to Laura to make the introductions then told her: "Jerry is slated for NCOES at Fort Knox next month." Laura and Marcie let the men talk Army for a few minutes before they got down to business. Jim explained everything to them, Laura filling in some details. Marcie exclaimed: "My god, how can your mother do such a thing?" "I was becoming extra baggage to her I suppose," she told them. Marcie and Jerry looked at each other then Marcie said: "Of course, Jim we'll watch her. She can come here when she wants." Jim nodded his head in agreement. "And of course when school starts," Jim added. "Oh yes," Marcie said holding a hand up. "Can't forget that, can we?" The discussion soon turned to sports and what the local teams were not doing. They finally left an hour later happy they were over another hurdle. The next was the judge; the rest involving the Army would be easy. They walked home hand in hand enjoying the sun and the light moment of the evening. They stepped through the door Laura turned to face him. "This is the best thing that has happened in years. Jim." She stood on her toes to give him a kiss, her young firm breasts pressed against his chest. "Laura," said Jim surprised by the girl's intimate kiss then said with a smile: "you know that is one thing that can get us in to trouble." The girl nodded her head then pressed herself against him again. "I know. Can't help it." Their mouths were melded together, tongues exploring. A tiny moan escaped her. The kiss finally ended. Laura spoke first. "Jim, I wanted this. You gotta know that. I wanted this. I never kissed a guy before. I wanted to kiss you." "Babe," he said moving the girl away from the door. "We have to be careful what we do and where. No one can know we've acted outside certain bounds or we'll lose even before we get to court, then it'll be a whole different matter." "Suppose it's something I want and no one is the wiser?" She punctuated her question with a kiss. Jim couldn't restrain his hands from tracing the contours of her body. Laura gasped as his fingers measured the outline of her waist and curve of her ass. Her teeth sucked air in as Jim slowly tracked across the side of her thigh, moving towards her front. They looked into each other's eyes for a minute, their faces and lips close enough to kiss each other again. Laura said into his mouth as she met his: "It doesn't matter anymore, Jim I'm yours." Without another word, Jim guided Laura back to the sofa. As they sat, Laura moved on to Jim's lap. "Now you're not going anywhere," she said wrapping her arms around his neck hugging him as she kissed him again. Jim's arms encircled the girl's slender waist as he slid the other along her legs. He knew this was wrong but Laura was the best thing that happened to him in years. Her small full firm young breasts were pressed against his chest. He felt the raging hardon he had as the girl kissed him. "I wasn't planning on it," he said around her lips. He had his arms around the girl's waist holding her close. His fingers touched her silken smooth skin where the T-shirt had come loose from her jeans. He took a chance as she continued to passionately kiss him to slide his hand up her shirt feeling the smooth skin and the narrow strap of the bra. He moved his hand around to feel the subtle curve of her maturing breast. The girl crooned under her breath: "That feels good – rub my back a little more." Jim caressed the gentle form of her breast, the nipples hardened as she felt him kissing and wanting her young body in the worse way. His other hand slipped down between her legs to feel the tender spot of her throbbing pussy through her jeans. She opened her legs letting Jim slip his hand between them. She broke the kiss looking Jim in the eyes as she whispered: "I love you." Jim smiled as he said: "I love you too." That's what she wanted to hear from him. "Jim," she laid her head on his shoulder, "I know this is a lot to ask but I want to sleep with you." The request was simple enough but it took Jim a moment to think of an appropriate answer. He knew the wrong answer would scotch their relationship. The wrong people ever found out that would end the whole thing in nothing flat. Jim said with some effort: "You know what this means, honey?" Laura nodded her head. "We cannot have sex until I am eighteen." "A long time for others, a short time for some." Laura nodded her head again. "I understand. I am ready – if you are?" He picked her up in his strong arms to carry her in to the bed room. As he laid her on the bed he said leaning over her: "When you are eighteen we'll make a special night, a honeymoon night." "I want you, Jim. It'll be hard but I'll wait until then." Laura knew better as she stared up in to Jim's dark eyes. He gathered her shirt up pulling it over her head tossing it aside revealing the blue satin bra, her nipples tenting the fabric making an enticing vision of her beauty. Laura nervously fumbled with the snap of her jeans, opening them then pulled the zipper down. Jim grinned as he pulled the jeans off the girl tossing them aside. He glanced down at her matching blue lace panty; the panty was moist with her feminine juices seeping with her arousal. Jim lay beside her kissing her and feeling her up running his hand along her side. "You know, babe," he said quietly as if someone would hear him. "Never a word of this to anyone. This for the next two years has to be our secret." Laura put her hands about Jim's head to kiss him again. "I know our secret. To the world we'll be uncle and niece." The girl allowed a slight smile she added: "At night in our own time we'll love each other." She was quiet for a moment then said: "I am virgin, Jim." The revelation surprised Jim but Laura was unable to see his expression in the dark as she shifted her head on his chest. "I dated a few times, but seems it was all the same with some of the guys. All they wanted was to take me out somewhere to lay me. A few knew I was still virgin, they treated me like some conquest until I said "No" then they dropped me like I had the plaque or something." Jim was silent as she said softly: "I want to stay here, Jim." "You will." He stroked her fine soft tresses savoring the feeling as Laura hugged his chest. IV. For the next three months they retained an Uncle – Niece plutonic relationship to the neighbors and the other NCO's on Post. They went shopping together; Laura pretty much knew how to put a shopping list together and managed to keep Jim on a tight budget in the supermarket. She learned from Marcie how to read Jim's monthly LES (Leave and Earning Statement); a soldier's rank on his or her uniform at a glance; when she finally got her dependent's ID card same month, the services she was eligible for. "Especially medical," Marcie told her. "That is tops -- after that the commissary." Jim finally treated Laura to a special weekend near the end of August, at a bikers bar in town just before school started. Johnny's was a biker bar, but it wasn't a biker's bar. More families came in there than bikers, rednecks, and tourists. Johnny's was an early-day sports bar before sports bars were a fade, which offered everything from pool, sports on TV's, to the best hamburgers and pizzas, and fried chicken in town. Laura was dressed in a pair of beautiful designer jeans and near-form fitting sleeveless pullover shirt that showed the outline of her bra, and knee high boots. Jim got a nice hardon checking her out before they left. Jim's mind went to: What color her bra and panty was. They drove in to town and to the bar and the outside seating outside was already crowded. Jim turned his big K5 Blazer in to the parking lot already crowded with Harleys, Victory's, and Castles of all sorts. By unspoken tradition anything else parked on the street. "Hey, look whose here!" said Jim pointing to the other trucks. "Scott and Dan." "Where?" she asked looking around at the array of cars and trucks and bike's. "I recognize the trucks." "Oh." Johnny's Jim explained was a converted old car shop built in the 1930's. Other parts of the building were leased by a beauty shop and a lawyer and a finance company. Good combination of tenants. Jim put his arm around her and led her to the door as a group of bikers followed them. No one really paid much attention to what the jocks on either of six 80 inch display screens were doing. They walked in to the blast of a combo-band that was competing with a battery of TV's all tuned to different sports events around the world, people talking; the live band trying to compete with the televisions as a few tried dancing on the small dance floor. Laura hugged up to Jim as they waited for the hostess to return. When the girl returned, a young blonde in red short-shorts, white top with Johnny's in blue script, and white rubber shoes. "Welcome to Johnny's, Jim." "`Evening, Jenny," said Jim when the girl walked up to them. "How many?" she had to shout over the noise. "Two," and Jim spotted his friends. "Hey, Scott and Jenny's here; there's Dan and Emily." They waved to each other. Scott pointed to the table next to theirs which had just been vacated. The tables on the upper levels were arranged on tiers three high. "Up there?" the girl shouted. "Right," said Jim as they crossed the room to the tiered section of tables. The girl led them up to the upper tier of tables near the two couples. The young hostess promptly showed them to the booth where Scott and Dan with their girls were already engrossed in a large pizza. They settled in and Jim made the introductions. "Niece?" said Scott above the noise. "Welcome." Jim made the introductions; the waitress brought another round of beers and a Coke for Laura. Both Scott and Dan were old Army friends of Jim's. Jennifer – Jenny, was a girl from work that Scott Harrison and Dan Anderson knew. Jenny moved in with Scott couple months ago – he can be so lucky. Those two proved to be an item around Luthron Avionics. Emily, a young divorcee was dating Dan. The girls got to know each other as Scott, Dan and Jim swapped old war stories and whatever else. By the time Jim and Laura left two hours later Laura was happy they went. "I liked it," she said as they stepped on to the street, she ran a finger around her ears to clear them. "Jenny and Emily are great ladies." "Do it again?" he asked as they walked over to my truck. "Of course." They drove around for a while, Laura enjoying the evening. They arrived home some time later that evening, Laura as happy as she had ever been before. Jim went to make a pot of his best lead 30-weight tankers' coffee – guaranteed to take the paint off a five ton. He looked back at Laura a couple times as he waited for the coffee to perk; she went to the bed room to change into one of her favorite baby doll nighties. She returned to the kitchen as the coffee finally perked and he poured them each a cup of the steaming black liquid. Laura managed to drink it. They say all coffee does is make a drunk a wide-awake drunk. Laura was not that way drinking sodas all night but by the second cup she was too tired to care. Jim leaned over to kiss her. He enjoyed her as she let him have his way with her. During all this heavy petting and making out Jim had three cups which is about normal for him. Laura finished the coffee in her cup and set it on the table: "Um, Jim, besides coffee – what else did you put in it?" "Nothing. Why?" "Strong as hell..." "Oh. Just four scoops of grounds in a Mr. Coffee." "Oh." She sipped it then set the cup aside. "I am tired, hon, let's go to bed." Jim took the girl by the hand leading her back to their bed room. It was their bed room now and Laura enjoyed the feeling of having Jim beside her at night. When he was away from her at night or the week, she missed him. Near the end of the month Jim called his sister on a weekend night. His sister Sharon was stunned. "You're nuts, Jim! This is like playing with fire with a can of gas!" "I know. But I couldn't think of anything else." He said, his voice cracking with emotion. "I can't let her go out all by herself and her parents are divorced, her mother running around with some guy by the name of Jack. And if welfare got a hold of her – she'd be in some foster home in nothing flat." Sharon said recovering her composure: "Yeah, I suppose I do owe you for all the help you gave us when Tom lost his job. Yeah, tell me what you need." Laura and Jim heaved a sigh of relief as Jim explained to Sharon what it was she was to do in case the welfare people in her county got involved. Otherwise they'd be investigating her real mother who was who-knew where by then. "Yeah, in a way that will be easy," Sharon replied. "And I'll explain the whole idea to Tom later. Good luck `bro – you'll need it now." "Thanks, Sis – Now I'll owe ya." "Just take good care of her, Jim. The girl needs you now." Laura wanted to cry as Jim cut the phone connection. Jim hung on to Laura as she cried. "Thank god Sharon went along with this crazy plan of ours." Laura was scared as she considered what could happen now. She was crying softly as she held her hands over her eyes. Tears trickled down her face, eyes red from crying again. She looked up at Jim beside her: "Jim, I love you. I don't want to be taken away from you." Jim held the girl for a moment kissing her and holding her as she cried. "Let's go to bed, honey." They walked back to the bed room that they'd been sharing for the past month. They undressed, Jim stripping to his briefs, Laura just her panty then they lay beside each other with just the sheet over them. Jim was silent as he held the girl stroking her hair as he did each night savoring the silken feel and young body as she lay beside him now; a wonderful feeling that he missed until Laura entered his life. "This is what I want," she murmured laying her head on his shoulder. He held the girl close to him: "Nothing of this can slip out, honey. What we do in the dark of night or our time together is between us, no one else." "I know. There'll be all kinds of trouble if it does." She kissed him. "I'm not one of those loose brain chatty types anyway." He rolled on to his side to passionately kiss her. The week before the hearing, Bower's paralegal called to say the hearing would be held in the Judge's chambers at ten o'clock. "This is it honey," he said as they sat down to supper that evening. "All or nothing." He would see in a few days if all his efforts were worth the gamble. He knew this would be tougher than any promotion board or soldier of the month board he'd been before. The day of the guardianship hearing Laura dressed in the conservative black three piece business suit Jim had bought her at an upscale women's boutique; he was in a black suit that he hadn't worn since his wife and daughter's funeral two years before. They arrived at the court house with time to spare having to go through all the checks and getting from the entrance to the Division and Judge's chambers. They entered the outer office; a legal secretary greeted them and had them sit for a moment. "The Judge is in court right now. Won't last much longer." Their lawyer, John Bower walked in to the office, they smiled and relieved he made it on time. They waited nervously until the Judge walked in his robe open grumbling it was too hot to be formal. He stopped in front of them: "Miss Wright and Mr. Anderson, I presume? And John, you're the attorney?" Jim stood. "Yes, sir – err, you're honor." "No need to be formal now. Here," he ushered them in to his chambers. They waited as he took the gown off tossing it on to a chair and sat. He pulled a folder thick with a sheath of papers from a pile on the side of his desk, Opening it he looked at the first page and read aloud: "The matter of the guardianship of Miss Laura Wright, a minor, and the guardian and next friend Mr James Anderson." He paused as he looked across the desk at Jim. "I've only had one other of this type in my career and the parents were deceased. However, as was found out, and Mr Bower was on top of this situation, for all intents and purposes, Miss Wright has been abandoned by her Mother and – I suppose Jake Bergman is supposed to be her step-father?" "Yes, your honor," Bower spoke up. "But as far as the county people there know, nothing to the sort has been filed." The Judge made a noise in his throat and went on: "I suppose the implications of this have been discussed, Mr Bower?" He turned back to John Bower for confirmation. Bower nodded his head. "Good. I won't go in to all the legal ramifications then. Suffice to say, Mr Anderson you are already aware of them?" "Yes, your honor." Jim knew the consequences all too well. He recalled the day the two men were arrested, the Sergeant Major hauled the battalion into the battalion classroom for a fifteen minute lecture:... if your that horny, there are other ways to take care of the problem. "Good. Something that has been in your favor, her Mother signed the guardianship papers and sent them right back; the other, her biological father is in jail out of state for a DUI and driving on a suspended license – one of three to my knowledge." Laura could only listen as the Judge concentrated his questions on Jim. Bowers listened and spoke very little. At last the Judge turned to address the girl: "As far as the social services office could check, there is no living relatives – expect an aunt and she's in a retirement home. So..." He drew out the word so, "it seems unless you prefer a foster home..." Laura felt her face flush and blood run cold for a moment. She was able to say: "No, sir – err, I mean no you honor." The Judge and Bowers did not miss that she was holding Jim's hand, squeezing it as she answered the Judge. The Judge allowed the up turning of his mouth. "I didn't think so." He stopped at that point leaning forward on the desk he looked at the group. "I get the impression here, Mr. Anderson this is your way of helping keep this young lady off the streets and give her a good home. I have here, through social services several affidavits, to include your first sergeant and sergeant major of your bearing as a soldier and – I am sorry for your loss: a good father and husband. You have steady employment – the Army. Despite the hardships of its ways, you are to be commended for what you have done – and did. Thank you, Sergeant Anderson for all you have done. Now..." He punched a button on his telephone consol. "Mary, bring in the Notary, please I have some papers which need notarization." Laura felt butterflies in her stomach as they waited for the secretary to bring in the Notarization stamp and log book. She laid out the notary log book, the Judge signed it then Mary took the various papers which everyone began signing. Laura watched as Jim nervously signed the documents making him guardian for Laura. The Judge commented: "I think in domestic law, this and adoption are the only bright lights in the whole business. I see no end of wrangling and custody fights to make a good old fashion bar room brawl look good." The Judge stood. "Mr. Anderson, you are to be commended for what you have done." "Thank you, your honor." Jim looked at the papers then showed Laura. The girl felt the tears in her eyes as she read the final line that gave Jim guardianship of Laura Rose Wright. They filed out of the chambers to the hallway. John Bowers said: "I thought this would be worse than it was." "So did I." Jim reached in his jacket pocket to take out his check book opened it to hand Bowers a check covering the first half of the retainer fee. "Thanks, John for all you have done." Bowers nodded his head as he took the check from Jim. "The least I could do." Laura felt as if she were walking on air as they left the court house. They stopped at the street looking both ways. Jim asked her: "Well, my dear, now what would you like to do?" "Celebrate!" the girl nearly shouted. Jim laughed with the relief he finally felt that the hearing went better than they expected. "Good, let's go down to my favorite watering holes: Johnny's." They walked from the court house to the bar and grill a couple blocks away hand-in-hand. IV. However, it wasn't all "peaches and cream" for Jim and Laura. They had their differences of opinion; she wanted her space, on occasion he'd come home grouchy. But all in all they were contented with their life style. September she was attending school and doing better than she would have otherwise. Jim assured her of that. Laura developed her circle of friends which he was glad of; the school campus was not that far away; mid-way between the shopping center and home. It was a few days later that Jim arrived home, Laura was sitting at the kitchen table doing her home, he said: "How would you like to play Cinderella?" Laura looked at him strangely as he tossed his hat on to the bookcase. "What's the catch?" They kissed then he explained: "NCO Dining Out and Ball. Wives, girlfriends -- and um, nieces." "I'm invited?" Laura squealed. "Oh! I don't have anything for it." "You will." He sat down to take his boots off. "I saw evening dresses in that store where we got your suit for court." "When are we going? To the store that is?" "Tomorrow morning – unless..." "Nothing that is important that can't wait." She leaned over to kiss Jim. "You're the greatest." Saturday morning Laura was awake early shaking Jim awake. "Huh, what?" "It's four o'clock. When does the store open?" The room was still dark, Laura was anxious to get going. "Hon, we got nearly four hours before the store opens." Laura hovered over him. Jim reached up to draw the girl down to him. "And two weeks before the affair. Lots of time to get ready." "For who?" Laura moved on top of Jim. Their lips touched and they kissed. "My mistake." Jim had an instant hardon as they kissed sliding his hands up and down her back. "Love it. I been a couple years since I woke up like this." Laura knew what Jim was referring to but said nothing, she didn't him hurting any more than he was. Eight thirty they got in to the truck for the quick drive in to town and Jackie's Women's Boutique. The lady who owned the store was surprised to see them back. Jim told her of the occasion: "Go for it, honey. Whatever you think you need?" Laura looked agape at the rack full of dresses. Jim slipped out of the store and down the street to a bar for a few beers. Nearly an hour later his cell phone buzzed. "Ready." And there was a giggle before the connection was cut. He went back to the store and a happy girl was waiting for him. Jim took the receipt from the lady holding back a choking noise as he looked it over. He handed the lady his credit card. She ran it, smiling as Laura gathered up her purchases and a suit bag with the dress she picked out. He suddenly felt $200.00 lighter. They exited to the street and to the truck where it was parked. Laura hung the bag with the dress in the back and carefully set the box with the new shoes and bags with the accessories on the back seat. Jim watched her as she was proudly arranging everything on the seat. He gave her a quick kiss then helped her in. "The princess' coach awaits." She turned leaning out putting her arms around his neck. "Thank you, Jim. Thank you... I do love you." The kiss was filled with her passion and love for Jim. He was thankful there was a rear parking for the shop. He glanced up at the windows of the surrounding buildings to see if anyone was watching: hard to tell. He took her to lunch at the Village Inn not far away. Then they went home. The following Saturday was the affair. That afternoon Jim took off for awhile while Laura was at the hair dresser getting her hair fixed. Everything worked out: Jim couldn't believe it, he showed up back at the salon with a car that surprised her. "Where's your truck?" she asked, surprised as Jim held the door open for her. "Home. I took a cab to the car rental agency the paper work was all ready for me when I got there. We'll just have to allow a few extra minutes to get on post since this doesn't have a post ID sticker." She got in, drew in a deep breath: "Doesn't smell like your truck." "Huh?" She giggled. "The 'I've been owned for...' how years have you had it?" "Eight." "Right. Eight years." She giggled again as he drove her home. That evening as they were getting ready Jim wondered what Laura had bought. Laura had been very secretive all week about the dress. She wanted Jim to be proud of her that night. She was sitting at the new vanity he had bought for her that just fit in the bed room. She was in the panty hose, and black strappy heels, no bra. She looked at him in the mirror. "Be ready in a moment." She batted her eyes at him in the mirror. The slight odor of a special perfume waifed through the air tantalizing his nose, he tried to guess what it was but had to wait until later. Jim was in his dress blues. He slipped on the jacket with the arrangement of awards and decorations. She watched as he put the jacket on. She had found the uniform one day when she was alone. She could only wonder what all the medals stood for. "Um, I'll wait in the living room." She waited until Jim stepped out of the bed room to get the dress out of the cloths bag. The dress was sleeveless lavender with an empire waist; a band of silver sequins about the waist, with the hem just above the knees she knew would make Jim proud of her. She put on the bracelet and earrings; she decided to let Jim do the necklace. She stood from the vanity, checked herself one last time then put the shawl to go with the dress about her shoulders then walked out to the living room. "Ta, da," She said as she twirled about, the hem lifting as she spun around. Jim could only think this was the defining moment for the girl and him as he looked her over. The back, what he could see was below her shoulder blades, the front low showing enough of her cleavage to still be conservative. "Um, lovely, hon. Lovely." Jim was breathless as he looked her over. She handed him the necklace which he put on her then kissed her neck then her lips. Passing through the front gate Laura smiled serenely at the MP's as they checked the car over then issued Jim the pass. They arrived at the NCO club on post with other NCO's from his unit. For some, this was the first time they met Jim's ward. From the moment they arrived at the NCO Club Laura was a hit. The young single NCO's fawned over her the evening, more than a couple wanting to dance with her. Jim let her enjoy herself. She was the princess that night. Laura hung on to Jim's arm, she was giddy with the night as she left the Club. She said: "Jim, can we ride around for a while?" "Sure. Enjoyed yourself tonight?" "Very..." She had a broad smile as Jim held the door open for her. "I'm not ready to go home yet. Like a prom but better." She slipped into the car he leaned in to kiss her. "My bidding, sweet heart." Once they left post and were on the highway she wished the car didn't have the console in the middle. He noticed the dress had ridden part way up her legs. At a stop light at the edge of town Jim reached over to slide his hand up her silken clad leg. He slid his hand up her leg to her hip. Laura felt his hard strong hand moving gently along her leg stopping briefly at her hip. "Like that?" she asked feeling her face flush as he slipped his hand between her legs. Jim had never been this daring with her in public, even though they were in the car. They drove around seeing the city lights at night. At another stop light that was exceptionally long he again slipped his hand under her dress to feel her up slipping his hand between her legs. Laura drew in a quick breath feeling Jim's hand slid between her legs along her tender young virgin pussy. Laura looked down at her lover in the light from the street lights to see the bulge in his pants. She smiled knowing what it meant. She noticed they were in an area clear of traffic; she reached over to feel his erection. She grasped his erect phallus squeezing it just enough to make him moan. She knew exactly what she was doing. She wanted to get a rise out of Jim, and she had succeeded. "Keep that up baby and we'll have to stop somewhere to take care of business." The girl giggled as she withdrew her hand. "Later?" "Later." His mind was telling him one thing: No. His body was saying: Yes. Take the girl to bed and take her virginity. But is that what she really wanted now? He already more than aware the girl could be a little tease. IV. Jim watched as Laura undressed, hung the dress up carefully placing it in the closet. She was sexy in the panty hose, heels and no bra. But he imagined what she would have looked like if she added the matching bra he knew she had. He had a nice hardon as he watched the girl get ready for bed. Jim quickly undressed, hung up his uniform. He held his hand out to her and led her out to the kitchen where he made their traditional Saturday mid-night coffee. Laura was still feeling the thrill of the night talking about all the people she had met and the ones Jim had introduced her to. Finally they went back to the bedroom where he was joined in bed by Laura. Jim moved on to his side to passionately kiss Laura holding the girl close. The slight scent of Laura's perfume waifed through the air surrounding his senses: "God," he thought, "she is pretty." They lay in each other arms; Laura's head on his shoulder contented with her time as "the belle of the ball." They hugged and kissed, Jim savoring the feel of the girl's sylvan body; in turn she enjoyed the feeling of Jim's body, the feel of his hard manhood pressing against her as he kissed and nuzzled her. The feeling of wanting each other was strong tonight but Jim knew he couldn't take her just yet. Sometime later Laura lay awake beside Jim who was not asleep either. Jim thought about how he lay in bed as Laura entered wearing one of her new chemises; the sight of her in the chemise or a sheer nightie had its effect of turning him on. Laura slipped into bed beside him lying close to him. Each night the two would kiss and feel each other until they reached orgasms and had to take showers: usually together. Laura lifted her head to look at the luminesce read out of the clock. One o'clock and she didn't even feel tired. Sitting up she looked down at Jim beside her. "Jim?" "Hmmm? Yeah?" "I can't sleep." He rolled on his side facing Laura. He could just make out her silhouette hovering over him in the dark. "At least it's Saturday going in to Sunday. What did you have in mind?" Jim knew but didn't say anything; he would let Laura make the first move. The girl usually did especially since she moved in to bed with him. They shared many intimate nights together. Jim was not hesitant as he slipped his hand under the nightie caressing her breasts, he would move his hand down to her panty clad pussy to caress and finger her to an orgasm. She would moan with the pleasure as she came, her juices flowing in to her panty wetting it and his fingers. Laura reached over to turn on a bedside light. The girl looked in to her lover's eyes feeling his cock against her. She spread her legs as she moved on to him positioning her hips and pussy over his engorged cock. She began rubbing herself against his cock until she began breathing harder. Laura could feel herself getting warmer and aroused as she was getting off on what she was doing. She acted as if she had Jim's cock inside her already, he had taken her virginity, and was using her now, ravishing her: she wanted him now. Jim was moving his hips up and down, back-and-forth rubbing his engorged cock against her throbbing pussy. Suddenly she felt the hot searing pain of her orgasm as she came, her virgin juices flowing in to her panty. "Aaaaagh, ooooh! I – I came, my lover..." Jim suddenly groaned cam in a torrent juices mingling with Laura's. The girl collapsed on to Jim's chest her hair spread to the side as he held her, her breasts pressed against his chest. He always enjoyed the feel of her breasts pressed against his side. She slowly slid off him to lie beside him for a moment out of breath. The girl hesitated still out of breath as she moved closer to Jim. She said: "I know it's supposed to be wrong and all, but... Jim, be my first and only... take me tonight." She looked at Jim in the dark. There was a moment of hesitation on his part then Laura said: "I'm on the pill now. I finally had a talk with the school nurse a couple days and she had the school doctor put me on the pill." Jim felt a bit shocked by her revelation but leaned over to kiss her. "Beat me to it. I was going to take you down to Marcie and have her explain that to you." "You're not mad?" "No. Why should I be?" "No." She smiled at his remark. He kissed her again and she moved in to his arms his cock stiff and hard again pressed against her waist. She reached down between them to slip her small delicate hand in to his briefs to take hold of his cock wet with his own juices. She said: "Jim, take me. I am yours. I don't want to wait any more. No one will ever know." He could feel his cock aching for relief again as she slowly moved her hand up and down stroking his cock, loving it; the girl was enjoying what she was doing. In her young mind, Jim was her man. "This is a big step, honey." Laura moved on to her back as Jim leaned over to kiss her face then moved to her neck. She said: "I know. I'm glad we took a chance on each other. You've been so good to me. I couldn't ask for more. I know what I want, darling. I'm willing and ready for you." Jim kissed the girl's lips even more passionately. Their tongues played a brief tango. He drew his tongue back across the roof her mouth. Laura moaned with the passion she now felt as she tried to duplicate what Jim was doing to her. "Aaaaaah, yesss," she sighed as Jim moved down to her chest and breasts. The sound of Laura's sighs turned Jim on even more. He got ahold of the bottom of her baby doll to gather it up to her small full firm young breasts. He kissed her about her breasts finding her pert nipples to nuzzle each one. Her feminine juices were seeping from her as she let Jim have his way with her. Jim stopped. Laura's eyes fluttered open. "What...?" "There is one thing we should do first," he said sitting up lifting Laura with him. "Shower." Laura took the baby doll off tossing it aside. "Right – and together." She kneeled on the bed enjoying the moment as Jim gazed up at her in the warm glow of the lamp light. She got out of bed to strip the wet panty off. Jim sat on the edge of the bed to slip his wet briefs off. Naked, Jim turned to pick Laura up in his arms to carry her to the bathroom. The girl giggled kissed Jim as he carried her to the bathroom. The warm water and soap washed the cum from them as they soaped each other; Jim felt Laura up in the shower getting the girl aroused until she cam again. Then she knelt in front of him his cock stiff and hard she took it sliding her mouth over the long thick shaft sucking him off until he came in her mouth. Laura giggled afterward. "Mmm, you like that, don't you?" Jim groaned as his male seed filled the girl's mouth, she swallowed it: "God, Laura you're the best." Jim finally turned the water off Laura took the towels they dried each other off. Jim gathered the towels up, picked up the girl in his arms, Laura giggled again, they went back to the bedroom where he laid her on the bed. They toweled each other until the girl was aroused again. Jim tossed the towels aside hovering over the girl, her breathing hard as Jim kissed her down her face and neck and chest, stopping to kiss and nibble on her young full firm breasts swollen with her passion and arousal. "Let's do something special." She suggested breathing hard as Jim sucked at her young breasts. "The way you said we should our first time." Jim moved back up looking down on the girl. "What do you suggest?" "Get dressed up. Do it like you're going to seduce me. I want that." Jim was surprised by the girl's suggestion. He grinned. "Sure. We'll do it the way we have talked about." Laura returned Jim's grin of satisfaction. Jim took dark slacks, sans belt from the closet, pulled them on then noticed Laura hesitated. "I want to surprise you," she said. He pulled the shirt on and stepped out of the room as she started for the closet. A short time later Laura emerged from the bedroom in the dress she had worn that evening. Jim felt himself get hard again as Laura crossed the room to sit beside him. Jim swallowed as she sat beside him, He glanced down at the nylon clad legs then up at the gentle rise of her breasts, her hair still held the curl and wave from the beauty shop. Jim slipped his arm about the girl's shoulder drawing her closer. "Not scared are you?" he asked kissing her on the cheek. Laura shook her head, her brown tresses swishing back and forth as she turned her lips to his. "This is what I want." They kissed. Jim slid his hand up her side to her breast to feel its small firm size. Pressing his hand against it, he felt the outline of the bra. For a fleeting moment he wondered what color the bra and panty were; probably black lace. He knew she had several bras and panties of black lace and nylon. He moved his hand to her back to feel for the zipper and small snap. He found them, unfasten the snap then carefully pulled the zipper down as he slipped his tongue inside her mouth. Laura moaned as his tongue slid across the roof of her mouth. Their tongues played a tango as he slid his hand across her back feeling the thin strap of her bra. For the moment he enjoyed the feel of the girl's skin and the small bra. With his other hand, Jim was caressing Laura's fine legs. From the beginning he liked what he saw. Slowly he drew her dress up to her hips until he was able to see her garter belt and stockings and the little panty. Caressing her legs she slipped on to his lap opening her legs to let him slip his hand between them. She softly moaned. Throwing her head back she felt the pressure of his hand against her virginity. Rocking herself back and forth on his lap she unconsciously pressed her legs together trapping his hand between them. Jim liked the feel of his hand between the girl's legs; trapped against her pussy, the wetness of her cum seeped in to the little panty. Jim continued caressing her pussy and then her breasts until she cam, moaning her pleasure as the creamy fluid surged on to Jim's fingers. He laid the girl back on the sofa; her head resting on the pillow, her golden brown hair lay in a fan about her head. She looked up at Jim with awe and wonder as he gathered the dress up to her waist. With a grin of pleasure he grasped the waist band of her little panty and slowly drew in down her legs. The girl was vulnerable to her lover's lust and desires for her. Jim pulled the girl's little panty down and lowered his mouth to her bra covered breasts sucking and licking each one. They had done this to each other and it was always a thrill to the girl when Jim kissed her all over. He moved his mouth to the brown thatch of hair and her throbbing wet pussy. She knew it would only be a matter of minutes before she could no longer say she was virgin. The girl's juices seeped as she breathed harder, her chest rising and falling with her breathing. She watched her lover as he kissed her waist and stomach and hips; sucking, kissing and laving her as he moved lower on her stomach and hips and then down to her virgin slit, his tongue again flicking over her little clit. Jim dragged his extended tongue up and over the withering girl's swollen clit. Suddenly she felt the searing heat and then the rush of fluid from her, Jim lapping at the feminine cream surging on to his tongue. "Oh, god. Jim... honey, yes," the girl groaned as she gabbed at his hair pulling his face in to her thrusting hips. "Oh, that's so nice," she moaned. "Keep doing it! Keep doing it!" Jim continued with his oral ministering, running his tongue back and forth over the lips that were now totally open to his mouth and tongue as if to try to pull him inward and hold him there. On each pass over her pussy, Jim would pause at the top of Laura's slit and suck the hard little bud of her clit between his lips. Laura's head was flopping from side to side: "Oh yes, yes!" She held on to her lover, grasping his back, digging her finger nails in to his flesh, crying, gasping – the feeling was awesome. She jerked her hips wildly against the overwhelming pleasure that her lover was giving to her. Then, as Jim sucked at her clit, he brought his hand to her cunt and slipped a finger past her lips and into the untouched area beyond. Laura felt the need for release of her juices; she whimpered and moaned, the feeling was a burning desire, she shuddered as she orgasmed. The intensity and duration of her cum was unlike anything she had ever felt before. "Oh god, Jim..." the girl moaned hoarsely as Jim probed her. Wave after wave engulfed her and just as one set of spasms would pass another would flood over her. Laura pulled Jim's head away from her pulsing young pussy as she just couldn't stand the good feelings to continue the way they were. She pulled him up next to her and kissed him deeply. She could taste her own girlhood fluids on him and loved the thought of how those juices had gotten there. She had calmed down to a degree where she was again conscious of the ache deep in her vagina and the itching of her pussy lips as if they cried out for more. "Oh that was so delicious," Laura said to Jim as her body ground against his. "Please do me now." she pleaded with a lustful hunger in her eyes. Though everything prior to this had been marvellous for both of them, this was THE moment! Jim slid over her body and between her legs which Laura had spread wide for him. He quickly unfasten and pushed the pants down, his malehood sprang out at her. The girl knew that was hers to enjoy, no one else would know the pleasures of it inside her pussy after tonight. Laura's lower legs came up off the sofa and rubbed over Jim's thighs. As he positioned himself before her he took his malehood in his hand, gently rubbing it over the well-lubricated folds of her throbbing opening. Laura moaned with the pleasure she felt as she reached down putting her hand over his and together they guided his cock to the opening of her virginity. Gently they worked the tip of his hard member into her pulsing hole. The flowing folds of her girlhood wrapped around the tip of his penis. "Now honey, now," Laura moaned as she moved her hand away from his manhood. Her arms reached up to embrace him as she spread herself even wider as her legs wrapped around Jim. Jim pushed forward tenderly. The tip of his malehood touched and probed the girl's throbbing love nest. Laura gasped and moaned as she felt Jim's hard thick cock touch her then move past the nice and tight opening until he was just inside her. Laura was breathing heavily as Jim groaned with the tightness of the girl's virginity; his hard thick manhood filled her tightness. With all the girl's surge of juices there was little friction, but the tightness of her virginity demanded Jim go slow as he penetrated her for the first time. As his cock slid slowly into her, Laura could feel the walls of her virgin pussy trying to stretch to accommodate his engorged manhood, but pleasurable malehood. As the head of Jim's cock slipped past the lips at the entrance to her love opening, they both felt something! Laura felt the slight pulling and stinging pain that was Jim's penetration of her virginity, while he experienced the reward of having a virgin's pussy lips peel the foreskin back over the head of his penis. But he slowly and incessantly forced his cock in to Laura's hot, tight little body. "God, you're so good. Baby – you're so good. You're my little Miss Nice and Tight, aren't you?" Then with a hard forceful thrust that jabbed the girl's virgin maidenhood, that gossamer thin membrane that had kept her virgin was now gone as Jim sunk himself into her. Laura felt so incredibly filled. "Yes," she gasped, "yes –and my lover – only mine." That massive manhood of her lover seemed so huge was now buried as deeply into the young girl's pussy as far as it could possible go. She could feel the lips of her pussy stretched around the base of Jim's cock and the balls she had toyed with earlier were now bouncing up against her. Jim couldn't get over the absolute wonderfulness of having his cock buried all the way inside Laura's cunt. She was so nice and tight and hot, and he just wanted to let his malehood soak in her pussy's love juices forever. When Laura moved beneath him, Jim could feel the muscles in her cunt squeezing and pulling on his cock. Finally he began to pull his penis from Laura's cunt. Slowly, slowly, until just the head was left inside her. As he pulled his cock out of Laura, she felt a tremendous emptiness forming inside her as though something that belonged there was no longer where it should be. "No, no don't do that to me," she pleaded thinking he was stopping what he was doing to her. "I want to feel you inside me..." However, Jim reversed his motion and again sent his hardness thrusting into her depths and her emptiness faded. As Jim began a slow rhythmic pumping in and out of Laura, he couldn't believe the absolute, pure ecstasy of her pussy lips caressing his dick. From just barely inside her, to buried as deep as he could possibly be in her warm folds, each passage was heaven. It felt better and better and better, until Jim knew that the moment had come. His cock rammed all the way into the girl's tight warm pussy she began to buck and jerk. Then he sensed he could no longer last with this little minx; his balls tightened and his cock burned and then the release of his lust for her; squirt after squirt of his hot creamy male juices pumped into Laura's receptive cunt. Laura could feel Jim's spasms deep inside her; she gripped him tight with her arms and legs. Her vaginal walls closed tightly around his throbbing penis as if to lock it away there forever as her own spasms of pleasure tingled over every inch of her body. "Ahhh yessss, darling!" Laura groaned with pleasure as Jim groaned with the pleasure of the release of his cum; he emptied himself into her releasing a year of self- doubt that he would ever find desire in another woman , or girl's arms. "I am yours, Jim – I am yours – forever." "Baby – baby, yes," Jim moaned as he thrust in to the girl again, his cock hard and thick as he took Laura a second time, thrusting deep in to her until both cried out their love and pleasure one more time that night. Jim exploded in Laura's love nest a second time as the girl felt the heavenly release of her own orgasm. She cried out as her creamy juices surged from her pussy joining Jim's juices in a wonderful torrent of love. V. The sun shone through the bed room drapes as the two lovers lay in each other's arms. Laura woke to see Jim gazing at her. She smiled. It had been a wonderful time last night, the ball at the NCO Club, the short drive then ending at home with Jim taking her virginity. "Morning, honey," he said kissing her. "Morning." She wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him down to her. "Oh this is what I want. This is what I want – always." "Regrets?" Laura shook her head, her long hair swishing back: "No regrets. None." They kissed again then he said: "It's yours any time you want it." She laid her lips against his to give him a deep passionate kiss. She reached between them. She said: "When I call you'll come..." "Always." Two years later almost to the day that Laura turned eighteen, Jim retired from the Army as an E7 and Laura graduated from high school that May. They had their plans laid out what they wanted to do. Once they found they were free of the stipulations of the guardianship they went to Las Vegas where they were married. After the honeymoon in Las Vegas and a trip to San Francisco they moved to a town near his sister where they were accepted, despite their age difference as husband and wife.
