William is dreaming about making love to Savannah. He starts to yell out her name. Savannah hears this, starts to head over to William’s bed, and notices that he is very stiff below. William yells out, “SAVANNAH!” Savannah is getting a little worried at this moment. She decides to try to wake William up. She goes over to shake him. As she does, William in his sleep grabs Savannah by the waist and starts to pull Savannah closer to him. Savannah surprised by William’s strength, tries to pull herself free.
She grabs William by the shoulders and starts to shake him. “William, wake up please!” she yells. William still in a state of sleep starts to caress Savannah. Savannah sits still for a moment, begins to calm herself, and allows the feeling of William’s hands caressing her thighs. As William continues to do this, Savannah sits up and realizes he is still asleep and she needs to wake him, but she is also enjoying the pleasure William is giving her right now. William begins to caress her inner thigh and gently slides his hand into her womanhood.
Savannah allows William to do so. Savannah moans softly as William continues into her. Savannah feels Williams caress and starts to get wet. She is in a state of some confusion and does not really know what to do because of her feelings. She decides that she will just cooperate, as her mother always taught her to do, and starts to go totally on top of William. She starts kissing him on his chest. She takes his muscle and puts it inside herself with a deep moan. She starts to ride William gently. William starts to move with the same motion Savannah is doing and starts to grab Savannah’s breasts. Savannah starts to move up and down on top of William.
She starts gently rubbing his chest. William starts to moan SAVANNAH as Savannah starts to dig her nails into William’s chest. Savannah starts to moan WILLIAM. Just then, William awakes from his sleep, sees Savannah on top of him, and is in shock. He looks up at Savannah and says, “What? I do not understand.” Savannah puts her hand over his mouth and says "Shhhhh! It’s ok! I want this as well as you so just go with it!”
William looks again at Savannah, agrees, and turns Savannah over onto her back. He gently begins to kiss her neck and moves down to her breast. He gently suckles her nipples, which are hard and pink at this point. As William does this, Savannah moans gently with such ease and passion in her voice. William is loving her breasts and starts to use his hands inside her moist love spot as Savannah begins to moan. Savannah then gently hugs William and start to kiss his neck. William starts to moan as he gently puts his muscle inside of Savannah. They both moan loudly. William starts to make love to Savannah ever so gently.
Their bodies grow closer and the sweat glistens off them. In the moonlight from the window, William gently pushes in and Savannah moans again. She arches her back a little more. William gently puts his hand under the middle of her back and pulls her up closer to him. He touches her face with his hand and caresses it. She smiles and looks deeply into William's eyes. William looks back at her and smiles. William again pushes gently into Savannah and they both moan with ease. Savannah lies gently down again on the bed. William begins to slowly caress Savannah’s body as they make love.
While continuing to caress Savannah’s body, William leans into her breast and gently begins to suckle her nipple on the right breast. Savannah moans with pleasure. While he is suckling her right nipple, he gently starts to take hold of her buttocks. As his manhood is getting harder, she inserts it inside herself. She gives a huge moan as it goes deep inside her juicy love hole. He turns Savannah back on top of him. With him lying on the bed, he starts to caress he breasts as she is going up and down slowly on top of him.
She then let out a moan again as he lifts them to their feet. He stands up with his manhood inside of her and presses her sweating body against the wall. She wraps her legs around his waist as he starts gently thrusting in and out of her. She starts to nibble on his neck as he lets out a moan of passion. He then puts her on the bed and starts to go in and out of her. As he nibbles on her neck, she lets out a delicious moan. His manhood is throbbing inside of her as they both let out a loud moan of passion. They are both trembling with excitement as he takes her legs and puts them up behind his back.
She starts to grab his back with her nails as he continues his lovemaking. He starts to pull her hair with such passion as there love making becomes more and more intense that they both moan with extreme passion at the climax that they have together. The sun is starting to rise when they finish. Savannah and William are both exhausted. They lie beside one another in the scoop position and slowly fall asleep without a word spoken.
Meanwhile, Lucy gets up with the warm morning sun. and prepares to start her day. She leaves her room and puts the kettle on for some hot tea and hot bath water for Savannah.
Lucy climbs the stairs to wake Savannah and check on William. In the middle of the hallway where William is sleeping, Lucy decides to go in and check on him first before waking Savannah so she can report to Savannah about how William is doing. Lucy is surprised when she opens William’s door to see Miss Savannah and William lying together in bed asleep and undressed under the big quilt she had given to William the night before for warmth through the night. Lucy is extremely upset at what she is seeing. She starts yelling at them, “What you two think you are doing! This is not right! You Yankee best get out of this house now! Who do you think you are, taking advantage of my baby like this? I think I should tell the patrol the next time they come round here!”
Savannah awakens to Lucy yelling at William. Savannah sits up in the bed and tells Lucy, “I came to his bed, Lucy! Not the other way around! I wanted this to happen. William did not force me or take advantage of me. I wanted this to happen.”
Lucy looks at Savannah and speaks very quietly.
“I know you did, child.”
Then she turns and walks away.
Chapter 4
William and Savannah are awake, lying in bed and sharing pillow talk. She puts her hand to his face and asks a lover’s question.
“Is what you said true: you wanted to be here in my bed last night with me?”
“Of course I did!”
“Yes, but I mean…”
“With all my heart,” he says. She looks in his eyes and believes him, and it makes her smile. She has never been in love before. She has never been treated like this before by a man between the sheets. It is what she always hoped for, and she wants to believe him. She wants to believe in something. She leans in and kisses him on the mouth softly.
Savannah gets up out of the bed and puts on her robe. She walks over to the door and tells William to rest and she will be back with something for him to eat in awhile. Savannah goes downstairs to get something for William to eat and to talk to Lucy.
Lucy is waiting for her downstairs in the kitchen. She says quietly, “We don’t have any idea who that man upstairs is.”
Savannah says to Lucy, “I know who he is! He was forced into this stupid war like all of us! He wants to be with me. He told me himself last night.”
Savannah continues, “I know he does not want to return to the war, either! He wants what I want, which is to be happy here and raise a family.”
Lucy looks at Savannah and says, “Do you hear yourself speakin’ child? You are speakin’ of things that just cannot be! The war is not over yet! Do you understand how dangerous it is just having him here, and now this on top of it all? What happens when the Rebs comes back here lookin’ again?”
Savannah says nothing.
Lucy shakes her head and tells Savannah, “You not thinking, girl. This is dangerous! Lord, we don’t know what side we’re on anymore!”
Savannah looks at Lucy and says, “What side are we on, Lucy? Which side are you on? You are a black woman! Which side can you be on?”
“I’m on your side, Savannah!”
“And I am, too! I am on the side of this family in this house! I have two children to raise! You are all I have!”
Unusual for her, Savannah starts to cry again, choking the rest out. “Oh L
ucy! You have been with me forever. Don’t turn against me!”
Lucy looks at Savannah and says “Turn against you? The sun will fall outta the sky fore I turn agin’ you! I ain’t gonna leave you, neither, girl! Not never! You are the only family I have! Turn agin’ you, indeed! Why honey, don’t even talk like that! Where else would I go? Who cares out there if I live or die? I’m not goin’ out there to run from dogs and slave hunters! Not likely!”
They hug and are both quiet for a minute. Then Lucy continues.
“They’ll be no more talk of turnin’ and leavin’ in this house! Them that wants to leave has already left! And that fool Yank upstairs can stay too if he has a mind to, ‘cuz the Yanks are gonna win this war anyway! But if he deserts them to be here with you…” she trailed off. “But I’m more worried about him leavin’ than stayin’,” Lucy continued. “I don’t want to see you get babied up and heartbroke by a Bluecoat soldier! That’s all we need!”
“I know. I know,” says Savannah. “But he won’t leave me. That just won’t happen. He is a man of honor.”
“Maybe he is,” says Lucy. “Well, we all has to take some chances. I guess you has done picked yours. Did he achilly say he is not goin’ back? Is that his intention? What does he plan on, livin’ in the passageway for the rest of his life?”
“I don’t know what his actual…plans are. I don’t know, Lucy. I don’t know.”
“Well, don’t you think you better do some askin’? Get some answers outta him! Then you can decide.”
Savannah, as always, is grateful for Lucy’s sage advice. She nods her head yes and hugs Lucy tight.
“I will!”
Savannah goes back upstairs to William who is still in bed. He grins as she comes in and his eyes are full of light.
“What are you thinkin’?” Lucy asks.
He watches her cross the room and smiles as she approaches the bed. William says, “I was just going over last night in my head, that’s all.”
Savannah smiles back and says, “I know! I keep doing the same thing.” She lies down beside him on the bed and he puts his arm around her.
Savannah asks, “Do you know why I came to you last night?”
William, not sure how to answer, states, “No, will you tell me?”
Savannah says “Yes, I will. I have been fond of you since I first saw you in the barn, but as time has gone on I feel as if I have known you my whole life. It feels like you were a love that was so deep, I kept denying it to myself until last couple of days. I felt like you had come here to return to me the love I had lost ages ago. I did not know how to react when I realized it.
She pauses a moment, then continues with her honest confession. What she asks of him, she will give first. If he is a man of honor, he will respond in kind.
“I was coming to talk to you, but as I approached the door, I heard you dreaming of making love to me. I knew then it was love for the ages so I gave in to my heart’s desire.”
William turns to face Savannah and says, “I was feeling the same! It felt like fire in my heart and soul, like no matter what I did, I couldn’t put it out. Then I started to wonder how long it would take you to see it and give into it as well.”
William smiles and Savannah leans in and they kiss. Just then Lucy knocks on the door and William jumps. To his consternation, Savannah sings out, “Come on in!”
Savannah looks at William. “It’s alright,” she says, patting his hand. “Lucy and I have already done talked about you.”
William’s heart sinks. “Oh,” says. He closes his mouth and looks up at Lucy warily, like he half expects her to come at him with a broom and push him out the second floor window.
Lucy meets his eyes. “It’s all right, Yankee boy,” she says. “Savannah can handle you.”
William smiles uncertainly. He has a distinct feeling he is a man in a woman’s household, and from now on he will be asking permission to pee, as his father used to say about his Uncle George who was married to his mother’s sister, Aunt Gracie, a very efficient and well-organized lady who did not allow any nonsense! Lucy has brought a breakfast bed tray for them, but that makes William all the more nervous. Lucy places the tray down on the bed and Savannah smiles brightly at her, obviously completely at ease. “Thank you Lucy!” she exclaims. William follows and stammers out the same thing.
Lucy looks straight at William and says, “I am only gonna say this once, Yankee boy. We has three problems that I can see. One, the General will be back soon, and when he comes knockin’ on the door he best not knows of this or we all will be deader than Sunday chicken! Two, the Union army does not take to deserters. That’s your problem. Three, the Rebs has been sniffin’ around askin’ for a particular Bluecoat loner and they do seem to have a special place in their heart for him, if you sees what I mean.”
Lucy pauses, but William says nothing, so she continues.
“Yank, I don’t know who you is, and I don’t care. But don’t you bring no trouble on this house. And if you intend to get this girl in the family way, you had better marry her! This is a family. Either you is one of us, or you isn’t. If you is, Lucy is your friend. If you isn’t…” She stops there and puts her hand in her pocket, where the hard bulge of her loaded pistol makes her apron hang heavy. She says no more, but she doesn’t have to. At that moment William understands that Lucy would kill him if he threatened this family. She would hide his body and never bat an eye. And no one would ever find him. He would be just “missing in action.” He is impressed--and very properly kowtowed!
Savannah says, “Lucy, don’t worry! We know what we are doing and all will be well, I promise you!”
Lucy sets the breakfast tray up for the two to sit and eat. “Well,” she says, “Here is your honeymoon breakfast!” looking at William accusingly. Then she walks out of the room, saying, “I will see you downstairs.”
William turns to Savannah anxiously, “She will see who downstairs? Me?”
“No!” says Savannah laughing. “She just means she will see us later today when we get up, goosey!”
“You sure?” William asks.
Savannah laughs and kisses William. “Yes!”
They eat the food Lucy has set up for them. Afterward, William looks at Savannah and clears his throat.
“So where do we go from here?”
Savannah looks up from her plate and smiles confidently.
“We will get married and have children and live happily ever after!”
For just a moment, shock registers on William’s face. Then he laughs a little.
“You two sure have it figured out!”
“Don’t make fun!” says Savannah. “You want the same, don’t you?”
“Yes, I do, beloved,” replies William. “However, I also know the risk.. If I’m caught here it can mean death for us both and that worries me.”
Savannah looks at William and says, “Don’t worry about that because it won’t happen.”
Savannah gets up from the table and goes to the window. She is full of hope and does not want to give it up. After all that has happened, she finds she is still young enough to believe in love. She says, “I know you’re right on some level, and I worry as well. I just believe in my heart that all will work out for us. I do not want to lose you now that you have come back to me, sort of.”
Savannah blushes and smiles shyly. She cannot tell William her past yet, but someday she will, and he will understand and love her. She believes that. This morning she believes in everything.
William gets up from the table, walks over to Savannah, holds her close, and says, “Listen. We will be fine! We will marry and raise little Abel and Abigail, and then have beautiful children of our own! I will protect you and our home from anyone, forever.”
Savannah closes her eyes. It is everything she wants to hear. She turns to William and leans into his chest, feeling safe and sound for the first time since her daddy died.
Chapter 5
Lucy is outside fetching some water
from the well when she hears a horse approaching from the far side of the house. It is a soldier in a dark blue uniform, but this soldier is like none she has ever seen before! He is tall, he is handsome, and he is black, as black as her daddy or any colored man she has ever seen. He stops in front of Lucy and dismounts.
“Excuse me, is the master of the house at home?” Lucy stares with mouth open and finally stammers, “Uh…no!…Yes!…No!...Yes!…Boy, where did you get that uniform?!”
The soldier looks awkward for a moment, then salutes and stands at attention.
“I am a soldier of rank in the Union army, ma’am, on a call of duty!”
He speaks like a Yankee! Lucy’s eyes pop open and then she finally shrugs in disbelief. “Well, I never! Has the whole world has gone topsy-turvy?”
Maintaining his stance, the soldier repeats uncomfortably, “I am a soldier of rank in the Union army, ma’am!”
Peering at the stripes on his well-brushed jacket, Lucy says, “Well, alright, I reckon I can see that, colored boy, but what you want here?”
“I beg to speak with the master of the house, ma’am!” Lucy replies, “Is that right? Well, Laud-a-mercy! Well then, I reckon you better follow me, soldier!”
He seems greatly relieved. “Thank you, ma’am!”
Peering behind her with a little smile as she walks, Lucy leads the soldier up onto the front porch. “You wait here, soldier of rank, and I will get the mistress!” she says.
Yankee replies “Yes, ma’am, thank you ma’am!”
Lucy gives him one last amused glance and then goes inside, closing the door behind her. She walks to the bottom of the stairs and yells up.
“Savannah! Miss Savannah! SA-VAN-UH!”
