The Choice Ch. 16

We hold the memorial service at a restaurant several weeks later and all our friends show up. Our new friends, Peter and Adam and our old friends, Dunge and Sir Richard with their wives return. Rachel is back at home. She is a bit withdrawn. Daniel spends a great deal of time with her. Dominic, Skip and Luke come. Rebecca has decided to leave after the New year and I'm glad to have her. She has been a god send, always helping especially with Rachel. Dominic tells me that Marlene is returning in January and I can't wait for them to meet.

All of our friends tell funny, raunchy and silly stories about Sir and it turns into a party. At midnight, we toast to Sir and everyone is laughing and talking. I am beginning to heal. I've gotten over my anger at Sir, I've watched the DVD over and over again and I know that everything he's done has been to make me happy. Before I go to bed, alone tonight, I watch the DVD one more time. I tell Sir that I love him so very much and when it is done, I put the DVD in the box. Tomorrow I will take it to the bank and put it in our safety deposit box.

The private airline has offered us a settlement and so has the manufacturers of the plane. I tell the lawyers they can negotiate, but I want all the money to go to Sir's favorite two charities; the Susan G. Komen fight for the cure and Elizabeth Taylor's Aids Foundation.

I don't need the money. It can be put to better use. We will be leaving for London the day after Rebecca leaves. We will spend five days in England and then take the Queen Mary 2 home. I am sharing a suite with Brian and Anna while Rachel and Daniel will be sharing space. They have gotten very close and that decision has already been made. I've been teaching Daniel how to be a good Master. He's learned most of it from Sir already, so I'm just reinforcing it.

Christmas comes and I put up a big tree. We celebrate even though I really don't feel like it. I give out gifts to Andrew and Daisy; things I know they like. I don't give them money this year because Sir left them enough for a lifetime. I buy a first edition of a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens for Andrew and front row seats to Lady Gaga for Daisy in London.

For Rebecca I give her a gold locket that she admired in Tiffany's and I buy her a house near her school. She is grateful and I hug her close. I will miss her when she leaves in two weeks. I have gifts for Peter and Andrew and send some to Dunge and Stella. A special gift for Dominic; Marlene arrived a little earlier and will be with him for Christmas and for Skip; a job. He will be coming to work with us in six months.

I speak to Rachel and she has made her choice. She has chosen Daniel and we plan to tell him tonight when he arrives for dinner. I am happy for her. She will be moving in with him after we return from England.

My gift to her is a photo of Sir, the bracelet he gave her which was returned to me and a gift certificate to La perla for something special for Daniel.

For Brian, I have arranged for him to cook with Chef Michael Simon and a photo of me in a sexy negligee. He seems very happy.

Finally to Anna, my gift to her will not be given this night, but before we return from England. I've given her a beautiful violet negligee, a watch she admired and 2 pair of Christian Louboutin heels. I get some very nice gifts from them and many others and I am grateful. Evan comes by and brings with him several men with packages. Sir had planned this before he died and I open the first with my heart in my throat. From Harry Winston is a sapphire and diamond necklace with a matching ring, a complete set of luggage from Louis Vuitton and a designer gown from vintage Dior. There is a note from Sir which says, "My Queen: all these things pale in comparison to your beautiful face, lips and my favorite part your sweet chocolate pussy. Wear them well. Sir."

I cry and leave everyone until I can pull myself together. We have a wonderful dinner and that night I sleep alone. In the morning, Brian knocks on the door and I allow him to come in. He sees that I have been crying all night. He holds me in his arms, "I'm so sorry that you're sad. I'm so sorry that Sir died and I know this holiday has been hard for you, but we all love you and you need to heal. Let me hold you."

I lay in his strong arms and fall back asleep. When he has left to fix breakfast Anna comes to me and I awaken in her arms.

New year's Eve arrives and I am invited to many parties, but I decide that this New year's Eve I will spend with Anna and Brian. Rebecca and Rachel are spending the evening with Daniel. He's learned a great deal and tonight is the night I believe that he will fuck Rachel for the first time.

He and I have talked about Sir and what he wanted. But it was never Sir's decision, it was mine and Daniel knows this, but he tells me, "I've fallen in love with Rachel. I just want to love her and if things work out right, in time I'm going to ask her to marry me. Have you made your decision?"

"Yes, but you have to wait until before we return to hear my answer." I say. He laughs, "I'm looking forward to the trip and I think I know you're answer." We laugh and we hug. We are friends always.

New Year's Eve I am wearing a beautiful ivory nightgown, while Anna is wearing a sheer black long nightgown and Brian is wearing black silk pajamas. Andrew and Daisy have gone away for a week to visit family.

Earlier, we had a very nice dinner at a restaurant and now at home waiting for the new year, we have some shrimp and crab cocktail. The champagne has been opened and is now waiting. We watch ABC's New Year Rockin' Eve and wait for the ball to drop. Brian asks if next year we can be there and I tell him of course, but right now I am glad to be in my nice warm house with the fireplace.

It is five minutes to midnight and Brian pours glasses of champagne and brings out fresh strawberries dipped in dark chocolate and we wait. Finally the countdown and at midnight I kiss Anna first and then him. We toast to the New year and drink. Anna starts dancing and she unloosens the straps on her gown and takes it off. Brian dances with her as I watch. He comes to me and takes my hand and dances as Anna gets several quilts and put them on the floor in front of the fireplace.

Anna comes behind me and takes down the straps of my gown and kisses my shoulder as Brian kisses my lips. She slowly eases the gown down until it is a puddle at my feet. Anna kisses my back and kneels down to caress my butt and lick between my cheeks as Brian kisses my throat and neck.

Brian takes off his pajama shirt and I kiss his nipples. He brushes his hand across my nipples and moves down until he is kneeling at my feet. Anna joins him and she says, "We are yours, now and always. Whatever you choose to do we will always be yours. You may whip us and flog us and paddle us and spank us. You may do whatever you want to us and we will be with you. We both want you to be happy."

Brian adds, "Anna and I love you and we know that no matter what neither of us want to go anywhere. We just want you. To start this year off, we want to make love to you. Anna will lick you as I paddle her, then she will flog me as I fuck you and after we will both eat you. We want you to know that from this day forward no matter what the decision of who you marry, we are both here for you. We ask that you collar the person you do not choose."

I just nod as Brian puts his head on my stomach and I stroke his hair. Anna helps me down and I lie there. She begins at my breasts and starts suckling them and Brian kisses my lips. She moves down to my stomach and puts gentle kisses. Brian kisses my nipples and kisses my arms. He takes my fingers and kisses each one and then the palm of my hand while Anna travels down my legs. She pushes my knees up and licks my butt and then sucks on the outside of my pussy lips. She licks up and down my slit as Brian goes and gets the paddle.

Anna takes a pillow and puts it under me and then she begins to feast on my pussy. I see Brian behind her with the paddle and he kisses Anna's butt. I watch as he raises the paddle and strikes her. Anna moans and eats me harder, he paddles her again, then kisses and strokes her behind. She is looking up into my eyes and I am feeling very good. I am soaked watching Brian to is also watching me, spank her ass with the paddle. He uses his hand this time and swats her ass. She yelps, but continues to eat my pussy.

I am close and grab her hair as Brian smiles and hits her harder. Tears spring up in her eyes, but she continues to eat me, "Baby, if it's too much just say."

She pulls out and says, "Mistress, I love it. The tears are of joy. I love that he is hitting me while I am eating your beautiful pussy." She turns back to him, "Again Brian."

Brian hits her twice more and I come holding Anna's head tight inside my soaking pussy.

I pull her up to me and she lies on my body, 'I love you baby girl." I say as I kiss her passionately and feel her body on mine. Brian is now naked and brings his dick up to our faces. Anna and I laugh and take him into our mouths. He has two women sucking on him and he can hardly stand it. "Yesss, so good, both of you. Stop!" He says, he's close and he wants inside my pussy. Anna gets up and goes to get the flogger as he starts to get inside me. I stop him. "Watch" I say and I begin to stroke myself. He's groaning, "Please Mistress, please let me fuck you."

"Not yet, little boy." I moan. Anna returns and watches me, "Anna come here" I say and I continue stroking myself as I kiss her lips and whisper in her ear, "Remember how hard he spanked you, do the same to him."

She smiles. I beckon Brian to come between my thighs and I stop him so that I can get on him. We sit and I straddle his thighs and slowly insert his dick inside my pussy. Brian grabs my hips and moves me down. He wraps his arms around me as I kiss his lips.

Anna starts flogging Brian's back with the flogger and he moans, "yess, I deserve this, yess." I fuck up and down his dick and look in his eyes, he is feeling both pain and pleasure as my pussy squeezes his dick. Anna stops and I get on my knees so he can really fuck me and get his ass whipped. Brian grabs my hips and slams into me. He is relentless, "You are my Mistress, you belong to me. I love you." Anna is whipping his ass and saying, 'No, she belongs to me. She will never belong to you. She loves me." He is fucking me and crying, "Please Anna harder, I know she loves you, but a part of her loves me too. Yesss Anna beat me."

I allow her to hit him twice more and tell her to bring her sweet pussy over to me so I may eat her. Anna does as I ask but turns around so she can eat me and suck his cock. Brian is in a talkative mood. "Please Mistress don't ever let me go. I love you so very much. I only want to serve you however you wish. Your pussy is so tight around my cock. It fits like a fucking glove. I love stroking into you. Milk me Mistress. Ah, damn, so good."

His cock is doing wonderful things to my pussy and Anna is doing wonderful things to my clit and it is a new year. As they are making me feel so good, I think of Sir and how much he would have enjoyed this night with Rachel and Rebecca.

I know that he would want me to be happy and since I've made my decision I've been doing special things to make my proposal to Anna special. She knows none of this.

I am close to coming as Anna flicks my clit. "Mistress, I could be in this pussy every night, I'm coming." Brian announces as he comes in my pussy. I should note that he is not wearing a condom and he leaks out. Anna sucks him, I think mainly to get him away from my pussy because the moment he is clean she latches on to my pussy and drinks all his come out of me like a vacuum. I come at that moment into her mouth and I suck on her until she comes screaming into my pussy.

Brian gets a sheet and covers all of us up in front of the fireplace where we lay. I am in the middle of my sweet ones and they are holding me tight. Brian gets up and brings over a plate of sausage, cheese and delicious French bread that goes with our champagne and strawberries. We eat and sip and then fall into sleep on the floor in front of the fireplace.

I am freezing. The fire has gone out and I wake up my two sleeping beauties and we get into bed together in my bed shivering as we get under the covers. Brian feels between my thighs and he asks if he can fuck me and eat Anna's pussy. I look at Anna who nods and I open my legs as I get on top of him and Anna sits on his face. She and I kiss as I ride Brian's cock and Anna gleefully rides his face. I play with her nipples and she sucks mine. We are having a great time until Brian really digs in and eats Anna to a screaming orgasm, followed by him taking my hips and fucking into me until I explode on him. I lie down on top of him and he turns me over and eases out of my pussy.

Brian grabs my hair and pulls me down to his cock and I suck him. Lifting me up he puts my pussy over his face and eats his sperm out of my cunt. He licks and sucks as I lick and suck him and before long he comes in my mouth and I come in his.

Anna watches all of this and as soon as I am able to lie back on the bed, she kisses me. "Happy New Year" I say before we all fall asleep.

A week later Simon drives, Daniel, Rachel, Rebecca and I to the airport to say goodbye for now to Rebecca. I have given her a check from Evan for over a million dollars from Sir and taken her on a shopping trip. She is ready for school and her new home has been furnished. I tell her we will come visit and she is to return whenever she likes. She cries and hugs me, then goes to Rachel and gives her a beautiful ring and says, "you are my sister, please call me. This ring is my bond with you. I love you." Rebecca has already said goodbye to Anna with tears in both their eyes. Anna decided to remain at home. We watch as she leaves us and then Rachel breaks down and Daniel holds her. I smile. They are a couple now.

Two weeks later, we board our private plane to London. Evan, with the urn, his wife, Susan Daniel and Rachel, Anna, Brian and I all get on the plane and we take off for our six hour flight to Great Britain.

We are met by a limousine from the Connaught Hotel and taken to our suite. We spend two days being tourists and seeing the sights. The third day we go to see Sir's brother, Norman and his wife Bess. They take us to a cemetery outside of London with a mausoleum. The family name of Stone is engraved on this magnificent building and the place where Sir's ashes will go is already opened. A plaque with his name and date of birth and death are already engraved. It is ready for Sir's ashes. I have taken half of Sir's ashes out of the urn and they are in a small jar, the rest are in the urn which is placed inside the marble small tomb and it is closed. It will be sealed later.

A priest says a few kind words and then everyone leaves except Norman and I. "He really loved you, you know." Norman says to me, "The family disapproved. Not because you were black, but because you were American and he proved us wrong as always. You made my brother very happy and I thank you."

I hug Norman, "Are you ready for the last step?" Norman hugs me back, "yes I am." We all pile into two cars and are driven to the sea. We each take a little part of my Sir and let the wind blow his ashes out onto the air. Norman pops open another bottle of champagne and we each say to Sir and he passes the bottle around. We drink and turn and get back into our cars. We are done, let the healing begin.

We spend two more nights in England, some time with Norman where he shows me the family estate and tells me to come anytime and soon we are off to Southampton and The Queen Mary 2. Anna looks at the ship with awe and so does Rachel. I squeeze both their hands and we walk up to the gangplank onto this magnificent ship.

Anna, Brian and I are staying in the Balmoral Duplex, while Rachel and Daniel are staying in the Winsor Suite and Susan and Evan in the Buckingham Suite. We enjoy what the boat has to offer and have a really good time. I find that Anna has a knack for roulette and she wins fifty thousand dollars gambling. I am in awe. She is like a child and buys gold and diamond watches for everyone. For me she buys a beautiful pair of diamond and ruby earrings which match a dress I wear to dinner.

On the last night of our cruise we are seated at the Captain's table. I have prepared for this moment and Evan hands me the blue box with HW on it. We are having a very nice dinner with music playing when I take Anna's hand and lead her to the dance floor. I am wearing a blue strapless Badgley Mischka gown while she is dressed in a very beautiful gauzy silver Badgley Mischka evening gown with lots of sparkle. Anna looks like a Victoria Secret super model. There are other couples on the dance floor but I hold her tight and whisper in her ear. "I've made a decision." She gazes at me, quizzically and says, "You've made a decision about what Mistress." She whispers

I smile and I get down on one knee. Everything stops, the people, the orchestra. The people move and stand around us in a circle. Brian is watching us and his face grows a little sad. Evan and Susan are smiling. Daniel has tears in his eyes as does Rachel who he is holding on to.

From someone I am handed a mike and I look at the Captain. He smiles. Everyone wants to hear this. Anna looks at me on one knee and I don't think she realizes what's happening. She just stands. We have been on this boat for six days and I've held hands and danced with her so everyone knows we are a couple, but they haven't quite figured out how Brian fits in, but I don't care not tonight.

I take the mike and look up at her. "Anna, my dearest darling." I take her hand, "Mrs." She says and looks at me afraid. "You should call me Stephanie, since that is my name." She frowns and I know she wants to say Mistress, but she doesn't say anything, "I love you and in front of all these people I want to ask you tonight, to be my wife. Will you Anna marry me?"

Anna looks at me as if she hasn't heard. She looks at me in complete shock and I wait. "Mrs. Did you just propose to Anna? Did you just ask me to marry you and be your wife?" She looks as if she may faint. I smile at her to put her at ease and tears fall from her beautiful eyes. "Yes honey, I just asked you to marry me?"

She kneels down on the floor in her beautiful dress and says, "I love you and I am not worthy, but if you will have Anna I will of course marry you." The crowd cheers and I hug her to me and pass the mike back to someone. From the box I now have on my lap I take out the pear shaped 3.6 carat diamond ring which I place on her finger.

She kisses me passionately and I could see the envy from the men and women. We go back to our seats and champagne is brought out for the entire room. Brian is very quiet. I sit next to him and whisper in his ear. "I have a surprise for you back in the room later. Please be happy for me." I say. "I am Mistress. I think I'm surprised that you did this in such a public place." He says. The Captain makes a toast to Anna and I.

"Brian I am a public figure and I have absolutely nothing to hide. Also Anna needs this. She is mine as you are." I kiss his lips. We get a few stares but no one has anything to say.

Anna is showing Rachel her ring and Daniel comes over and kisses me on the cheek. "When did you make this decision?" He asks. "I've always known. I love this young woman and we've been through a great deal. Tomorrow I'm going to talk to Evan about seeing if we can work around this pregnancy thing and wait until after I give her the most beautiful wedding ever."

"How's Brian dealing with this?" He whispers. "I think he's upset, but I have a present for him back in the room. I just hope he accepts it." I say and Daniel hugs me, "He loves you and I know he wants to stay with you. I'm going to ask Rachel in a few months. I'd like to know if she can move in with me next month?"
