With the holidays approaching, Empatha decided to mail her mother Xenobia a Christmas card. She hadn't spoken to or heard from her mother in over ten years, right after her grandmother passed and Xenobia hopped on the closest man smoking. She scribbled a message on it and sealed the envelope shut. She stepped outside of her trailer and walked to the mailbox at the front of the trailer park. Tathana wasn't out yet, so Empatha figured she must still be asleep.
Empatha placed the envelope in the slot and opened her box to find sales papers. As she turned to walk home, the attractive king she saw moving in appeared outside. Empatha was taken back by how handsome he was. He noticed Empatha and his face seemed to light up. "Excuse me! Excuse me, Miss!", he called as Empatha stopped. He walked up to her smiling. " How you doing there? My name is Aldis, but you can call me Stone!", he said, offering her his hand. Empatha noticed he had a real southern accent, and found it attractive. She shook his hand and said, "Empatha." "Miss Empatha, it's nice to meet you! I believe I saw you when you was on your way out the other day. I just had to introduce myself and meet you properly." Empatha was impressed at the trouble he took to meet her. "Would you like some coffee? I live just over there.", offered Empatha, wanting to get out of the cold. Stone agreed and they walked over to her trailer.
Once inside, Empatha told Stone to make himself comfortable and she poured him a cup of coffee. " How do you take your coffee, Stone?", asked Empatha. "Black with a little sugar, ma'am", he replied. Empatha smiled. "You don't have to call me ma'am, darling! It's Empatha!", she laughed. Stone looked embarrassed, then said, " My momma taught me to be polite, at all times.", looking at her seductively. His accent was so sexy, Empatha thought. She brought him his cup of black coffee with sugar and sat across from him with her own cup.
"So, tell me about yourself", said Empatha, sipping her coffee. Stone looked at her with a smile. " Well, I was born near Stone Mountain in Georgia, hence my nickname. I lived there most of my life with my momma and my little brother and sister. We moved to New Orleans about three years ago, but my brother got killed. My momma took it hard, you know, and a year later, she died. My sister got married, so I left, and came down here, trying to start a new life.", he said. Empatha felt bad for him. "I'm so sorry!", she said, her emotions coming on strong. Stone noticed and immediately apologized. " No, I'm sorry, Miss Empatha! I never meant to make you sad!" Empatha looked at him tearfully. "I'm sorry", she said, " I don't know why I get so emotional sometimes." Stone looked at her, then took her hand. "Could be your name. An empath is a person who feels others pain, and you seem to be one.", he explained, gently rubbing her hand.
A foreign feeling came to her, and it was genuine. As Stone held her hand, she looked into his heart, it seemed. Empatha liked what she saw there, and she liked the whole package for that matter. Stone was a beautiful dark chocolate hue, with soulful brown eyes. He smiled at her, then said, " Are you okay?" Empatha smiled her big smile, and said, "Yes! Everything is alright!", her stare lingering.
Stone finished his coffee and stood, thanking Empatha politely.
"I better be going now, Miss Empatha. Thank you for the coffee and the company. I really don't know anyone around here yet, and it was mighty nice of you!", he said. Empatha touched his arm. "What do I have to do to make you call me Empatha?", she asked. Stone looked her up and down, then bit his lower lip. " You sure are a beautiful woman, Empatha. I'd like to repay the kindness", he said smiling, showing perfect white teeth. Empatha smiled back, liking him.
As he was stepping out, Tathana was walking in. She eyed Stone intensely, then smiled. Stone nodded hello, then took his leave. Empatha noticed how Stone reacted, and liked it. Tathana watched as he swaggered away, then looked at Empatha. "Girl, who was that?", she asked. "He is fine!" Empatha shook her head and said, "He's our new neighbor, Stone. From Georgia, by way of New Orleans. So, what's up chic?" Tathana forgot all about the reason she came over, still thinking about Stone. "Oh, yeah! Girl so what you cooking for us?", she asked. Empatha laughed, then said, " Don't worry, I'ma put my foot in it!!! Just wait and see with the others!" Tathana laughed, then asked, "Empatha, you really think King George likes me? I mean, I don't really know. Yeah, he spent some money on me, and we fucked the whole weekend, but you know how these men are! They all chase the kitty cat and when we give it up to them, we stuck! They either treat us like hoes or they stop fucking with us! We get caught up! I'm tired of that shit! I really like King George! I'm feeling him! But I don't wanna be played no more!", she confessed.
Empatha looked at her friend's pain. " Then don't! ", she replied. " Fucking is good and all that, trust me, I know! But you have to ration that ass sometimes, darling! Make him miss that pussy! Take time for yourself, even if you got to please yourself! The build up is intense, but when you do finally give it to him again it's because he's earned it by proving he wants it, from you!"
Tathana looked at Empatha sideways. "Bitch, you trying to tell me you ain't fucked Prince Willie yet? Come on, Empatha! I know you before today!", she exclaimed. Empatha bust out laughing, then said, " For real! We've kissed; we've really kissed, but that's all! I swear! But I want to! I want him, you just don't know how I want him! But, like you, I want real."

Tyler fixed lunch for his children; a hot dog and carrot sticks for London, his daughter, and a bottle of lukewarm Enfamil for Tyler Jr., his newborn son. He'd be leaving for the shelter in a few hours, and he wanted to spend time with them before going. Donita had left to meet her girls, even though she left with them right after he got home the night before. She argued that he was late on purpose because he knew she wanted to go out. Tyler didn't understand her at times. She would leave and do what she wanted, basically, and tell him being a stay at home mother wasn't what she signed up for. When he would ask her why she got pregnant since she obviously didn't want to do it again, she'd tell him it was his fault; that his dick was too good and he used that against her. Tyler would look at her crazy, wondering why and how he didn't see the crazy before. Now that he met Empatha, he seen how a real woman acted.
As he held his son in his arms and fed him, he thought of Empatha then, her wondrous body and mouth and taste. God, she tasted so good! He wished for her, wanting desperately to feel her skin. Baby T.J. refused the bottle suddenly, bringing Tyler out of his daydream. He laid the baby on his collarbone and gently pat his little back until a big burp came. His little hands hidden in sockies, he curled up on his daddy and was comfortable, soon falling asleep. Tyler laid him in his bed and checked on London. He called his sister Tina and asked if she could watch the kids for him to go to work. Tina agreed, already knowing the situation.
When Tyler arrived at the shelter, there was Empatha, looking lovely in a knee length skirt and high boots. His mouth watered at the thought of tasting her again. He wanted to get up under that skirt in the worst way, and he immediately felt himself rising. She turned and looked at him, her beautiful face lighting up with a smile. "Good evening, sir", she said. Tyler wanted to grab her and kiss all over her bosom, which was perfectly nested in her blouse, but Mrs. Mary and the others were watching. He said, " Good evening, everyone! ", but eyed Empatha, giving her a sly, sensual look.
Empatha was preparing a batch of cornbread and was reaching for a towel when he put his hand upon hers briefly, then moved it. " How are you this evening, Tyler?", asked Empatha. " I'm good now", he said, truthfully, save for the fact that his loins hurt for want of Empatha. He grabbed the huge metal spoon and began stirring the pot of chili Empatha made for the dinner shift. "Need any help?", he asked, leaning into her from behind, causing her to get moist. Empatha gave him a smile, then said, "You can make the cole slaw." Tyler busied himself making the dish, all the while taking glances at Empatha. When it was done to creamy satisfaction, he placed it on the line, next to the cornbread, crackers, and ginger cake. He rushed over to help Empatha in transferring the chili to the line, his muscular arms distracting her. Pots of coffee and pitchers of lemonade awaited. Tyler looked at Empatha, knowing he was about to have to put his feelings on hold until everyone was fed and seen to, but his want for Empatha grew. He ached for her.
Empatha knew what time it was. She saw the yearning in his eyes, and could feel his heat for her. "Tyler, can you help me bring out that crate of apples? I want to give my people some fresh fruit to eat!", she said. Mrs. Mary shook her head and said, " That's a good idea, Empatha! "
Tyler, ready to assist her, followed her into the back room and reached for the heavy crate full of blood red apples. He placed them on the counter and quickly grabbed her, placing her on the counter as well. He kissed her, hard and desperately, his fingers grazing her mound through her silk panties. "I need to taste you", he said, then knelt down and pushed the silk aside, revealing her. He licked her quickly, sucking her clit, pushing his tongue in and out, blowing Empatha's mind. He wanted to stay there and make her come, but he reluctantly pulled himself away, licking his lips and wiping his face. Empatha fixed her panties and stood. She couldn't believe how daring Tyler was. They walked back to the front like nothing happened, but they both knew something was definitely happening later on that night.
The patrons were let in and Empatha was happy to see them all. She was burning with desire inside, but put on her happiest face for her people. Yes, these were her people, and she wanted to feed them all to bursting. Tyler spooned cole slaw happily onto their plates, and Empatha ladled chili into their bowls with a big smile. Bradley complimented her again, saying, "Miss Empatha, you've outdone yourself! This chili looks so good! You too, darling! I might have to sop you up and eat you, too!" Empatha laughed and shooed him away playfully. Tyler looked at her, smirking. He hated to say it, but he couldn't wait until everyone ate and was gone.
After the kitchen was cleaned and everything in place, Mrs. Mary and the others headed out, happily taking with them containers of the leftover chili and cole slaw. Tyler locked the door, turned off the lights, and went to Empatha, kissing her passionately, his hot hands all over her. He knelt down and finished what he started earlier, this time taking his sweet time to torture her. He sucked away at her clit, making her throw her head back in ecstasy. His hands found her breasts and he freed them, licking one of her nipples as he turned her around to face the counter. His hand made its way to her clit again and he rubbed it, hard. Empatha yelped in desire, wanting him inside of her. When he could stand it no longer, Tyler freed himself from his pants and his huge erection immediately entered her, the sweet feel of her body christening him. He lost all control and went deeper into her as she held onto the countertop, her breasts swinging. Empatha felt so good as Tyler beat up into her, her pussy tightening after every thrust. She let herself go and Tyler held her, rocking up into her body. Never before had he felt sensations like this. Deeper he beat, until both of them climaxed together, crumbling from exhaustion.
Empatha couldn't believe what had just happened. She seen that Tyler had wanted her, begged for her, and he delivered. As they got dressed, Tyler stared at her. "Empatha, that was amazing! I've never been with a woman like that before, with such raw passion.", he said, breathlessly, then paused. " I think I'm falling for you, Empatha", he said, stunning her. She was about to say something when his cell phone rang. He looked at it and his demeanor changed to desperation. "What's wrong?", she asked. Tyler looked at his phone again, then grabbed his jacket and keys. "Empatha, as much as I'd like to stay here, I have to go! I was supposed to do something for my sister and I forgot! She's gonna kill me!", he explained, then walked over to Empatha, staring into her eyes. " Woman, you just don't know how much I want you again! ", he said, then kissed her slowly, tenderly.
Empatha could tell something was up, because when Tyler looked at his phone again, it was like he was faced with a life or death situation. " Tyler, go. I know that's not your sister calling. Go! It's alright! We'll talk about it when you're ready! Go! And be careful!", she said, holding him close before giving him another kiss. Tyler looked perplexed. This was why it was so hard to leave Empatha and go home to craziness. He reluctantly backed away from her, then walked away, looking back at her. How he wish things could be different.

When Empatha got home that night, Julian was parked in front of her trailer. She was surprised to see him there. As she got out of her car, she said, "Julian! How are you? What are you doing here?" Julian walked up to her and gave her a bear hug with his huge arms and said, "I been thinking about you, Empatha! You haven't been taking my calls, so I drove over here to personally ask you why.", he said. Empatha felt bad that he figured he had to come here tonight. "Julian, I'm sorry! I've been very busy lately, and I picked up a new shift, and honestly, when I get home, I'm tired! The holidays really aren't my favorite time of the year! When I'm home, I like to get some rest! I'm sorry if you thought I was blowing you off!", she explained.
Julian wanted more of her loving, and he begged her to change her mind and go inside with him. Empatha touched his face and said, " Julian, please understand what I am saying! Not tonight! I need to rest!" Julian looked hurt by the rejection, his stubbornness steadfast. "Empatha, please! Come on, baby! I need your loving! Woman, you don't know what you've done to me!", he pleaded, grabbing her arm. Empatha had enough. " Julian, I said no! Now go, please! I'll call you soon, I promise! Goodnight! ", she said.
Stone happened to be coming outside of his trailer and could hear the echoes of Empatha's and Julian's voices. Empatha sounded like she was serious. He walked down the gravel road and approached her trailer as Julian was raising his voice at Empatha.
" What's wrong with me, huh? What's wrong with me, Empatha? Why don't you want me anymore? Empatha, answer me!", he yelled. Empatha was about to go off on him when she saw Stone approaching. "You all right, Ms. Empatha?", he asked, looking at the both of them. Before Empatha could reply, Julian barked at him, saying, " Man, who this chump? Yeah, everything alright round here! So you can go about your business!" "Don't talk to him like that!", yelled Empatha. Stone took word and said, " Naw, it don't seem like you even wanted around here, mayne, so why don't YOU raise up, cuz Ms. Empatha obviously don't want you bothering her! So why don't you get back in your truck and get on home!" Julian was enraged at this, and lunged at Stone, swinging and hitting him in his jaw. Stone took the lick like a man, and swung back, his fist connecting to Julian's nose and dropping him.
Empatha got between the two men, trying to calm Stone down. "Please!", she pleaded. " Go home, Julian!" Julian got up as Empatha held Stone back, secretly feeling on his chiseled chest. He got into his truck cursing and staring daggers at Empatha. He pulled out, spraying gravel on them as he left. Stone looked like he wanted to run after Julian's truck and pull him out.
"Are you okay?", asked Empatha, touching his face tenderly. Stone looked at her, then rubbed his jaw, and said, " I should be asking you that! He didn't hurt you , did he, Ms. Empatha? " Empatha smiled at him, then said, "It's Empatha, and no, he didn't! Come on in, I got some alcohol and peroxide in the bathroom!" Stone smiled at her, then followed her as she unlocked her door and went inside. He sat down on her loveseat as she went to her bathroom to get her first aid kit.
Stone watched Empatha longingly, looking lovely in her skirt and boots. She set the kit down on her coffee table and sat next to him, unzipping her boots and taking them off. He stared at her bosom, then quickly recovered as she took notice. She handed him the alcohol and some cotton balls. "You really don't need to make a fuss over me, Ms. Empatha! I'm fine! Done had worse fights than that!" Empatha touched his face, and made him look at her. "It's Empatha", she said softly before kissing him. Stone was surprised at the softness of her lips on his. He held her, afraid of what he might do, and enjoyed her kiss. When it ended, she said, " Thank you, Aldis, for defending me!" Stone smiled at her, wanting to kiss her again, but figured it was only a friendly kiss, and that he should leave it at that. He applied the alcohol to the cotton balls and rubbed his jaw, watching Empatha as she watched him.
Empatha saw that her kiss confounded Stone, and she liked the fact that he didn't try to jump her bones. Hell, he had the perfect opportunity to do so, but he didn't, and she respected that. "Have dinner with me, tomorrow night", she said, breaking the spell. "I should be home around nine, and it won't take me long to whip us up something! I want to thank you! Please, say yes!", she begged, and Stone couldn't say no to that. " Yes ma'am! I would love to!", he said, standing. "I better be going now", he said. Empatha stood with him and gave him a hug. " Thank you again, Stone!", she said as he walked out. Stone took another look back at this sexy woman, and smiled, hopeful of things to come.
