No longer was there a need to be discreet when we were out in public and that fact alone was a blessing. The fall after Jordan's graduation, she enrolled in a creative writing course at the local community college. When she told me that was what she wanted to do, I assumed that she was going to try to write something herself but as it turned out she was going to use the skills gained there to assist her in editing articles that were destined for publication in magazines. Jordan had done some investigation and found out that many interesting articles were rejected by magazines as they appeared to be poorly written and the magazine decided they didn't want to spend the time to fix the article up. Once Jordan was finished with her course, she started promoting herself among several writer groups. At first she couldn't get anyone to take up her offer of a free edit of an article. Finally a woman decided to give Jordan a try. Jordan took the woman's article and did what I do - reworked it and checked the grammar, spelling and punctuation. The woman was extremely happy when a magazine accepted her work without any need to revisions. While Jordan's work was sporadic at first, word spread and soon Jordan had more work than she could handle. One day she got a call from an individual who had written a romance novel and felt it needed some polishing before being submitted. Jordan and I discussed the situation and finally Jordan decided to do this as a 'one off' until she saw how things went. This turned out to be a turning point since the editing of the novel spurred the creative juices and Jordan wrote a novel herself and prepared to submit it to a publisher. Before sending it off to a publisher, Jordan asked me to read it and critique it both from the technical side as well as from the content side. She gave me a copy on Sunday morning then told me she was going to be gone most of the day 'doing girl things' as she put it. I'd just finished a major editing job and didn't need to start the next one right away so I decided to read Jordan's novel. I wasn't very far into the novel when I realized that Jordan had remembered her own personal experiences as she wrote. Surprise, surprise, the male and female characters were an older man and a young woman. Once I started reading I found I couldn't put it down. I wondered just how much of her experiences Jordan would put into the book. The further I read, the more I wondered if it would pass the pornography test by the publisher. Some of the scenes were not just hot - they were searing and while Jordan had used words and phrases that wouldn't offend the public, there was no doubt what she was saying. Just after I'd finished the novel, Jordan came home. When she came in she had shopping bag in her hand and a big smile on her face - one that I have come to know well as it often means she had something she was going to surprise me with. "Well, what did you think?" she asked after she'd sat on my lap and put her arms around me. "Well..." I paused to try to gather my thoughts into some sort of intelligent sentences. "Well, it sure grabbed my attention, but will a publisher put it out? It seemed to me to be a bit... I don't know... more than just risqué?" Jordan gave me a lover's kiss complete with tongue then reached down into the bag that she'd set down beside her. She pulled out two paperback books that had some yellow tabs coming out of them. "I thought you might ask that question so here, look at the areas that I've marked and we'll talk more when I get back. Gotta pee." and with that she got up and went to the bathroom. I took one of the books Jordan had given me and opened it to the first tab. Jordan had obviously been busy as she'd highlighted a passage on that page. I scanned several of the other tabs in both books and saw that there was at least one passage highlighted at every tab. I returned to the first tab and read the passage. Wow! That passage was even steamier than the ones Jordan had written. As I was reading the fourth or fifth passage, Jordan came back in to join me. When I looked up at her I was shocked to see that she'd taken off the clothes shed worn earlier and had transformed herself into the 'naughty schoolgirl'. "Oh Daddy, did you find my... my bad stories? I thought I'd hidden them so you couldn't find them. I read them at night when I'm feeling... well... you know... down there. Are you angry at me?" ' `A wild sex session coming' I thought. "What do you know about sex? Do you want daddy to teach you?" I asked. Jordan put on her 'shy' face. "Would you Daddy? I read some of those stories and I think I'd like to do what they said." she said in her mock schoolgirl voice. "What do you want to learn?" I asked. "Well, how a man can put his... thing... into my... you know. Can you show me?" She asked in her shy, schoolgirl voice. I got up, took Jordan's hand and together we rushed to the bedroom. Jordan was undressed first because she had an unfair advantage - she also taken off her bra and panties before she'd put on her schoolgirl outfit. In spite of her advantage, I was ready to pull her onto the bed just as she finished taking her hair out of the ponytails. Suddenly the 'schoolgirl' disappeared and the sexual tiger appeared. "Get over here and FUCK ME!" Jordan almost yelled. It was hard to do but I decided to tease Jordan a bit first so I started by sucking on her nipples. All the while I was doing this to her, Jordan was desperately trying to pull me up so that I could fuck her. After temporarily abandoning her breasts I moved down and licked and sucked on her pussy until she came. I waited for a minute or two after she'd finished coming to allow her to recover then quickly moved up and put my cock into her to do as she'd asked - I fucked her hard and fast. It didn't take me long to cum and cum hard I did. Once we were both rested and cuddling, Jordan turned to me. "Still think my novel is too wild?" she asked with a big grin on her face. "You don't need to answer, your actions of the last few minutes were answer enough." I had to agree. After a couple of re-reading and editing sessions and one final pass through the novel by myself, Jordan sent it off to a publisher and was very pleased when a few weeks later a letter arrived saying that the novel had been accepted and enclosing some legal documents. Jordan contacted a lawyer who specialized in dealing with publishing matters and soon Jordan found her novel on the shelves in local bookstores. The reviews were very positive and the publisher was encouraging her to write another book. Soon we started to see royalty cheques coming in and I was surprised at how much royalties a single book could generate. When Jordan started her editing business, we'd cleaned out the spare bedroom and converted it into an office for her but that left us with no spare room if someone wanted to come to visit us. Jordan had also been making subtle suggestions that she'd like to have a baby 'one day'. I could read between the lines so we started looking in earnest at new homes so we could have more room. Nothing we saw would meet our needs but one day we heard of an older home somewhat out of town that might be for sale. It seemed that the owner would like to sell the house but would only sell it if 'the right folks came along'. We went out and discovered the house would suit us just fine. It had originally been part of a large estate with most of the land having been sold off leaving the house, outbuildings and a large area around it. The house had four bedrooms plus what had originally been a maid's room. There was also a small building at the rear that had originally been the quarters of a grounds man when the house was built. This would be perfect for us - three bedrooms and two offices. We could convert the `groundsman's quarters' for use as a 'Guest House' for any visitors. After the tour we talked with the owner at length and during our conversation the subject of how Jordan and I came to be together came up. We gave him a somewhat sanitized version of events starting with me taking care of Jordan when I found her crying on her front steps. When we were finished the gentleman looked at us and smiled. "Well, if you cared enough for a young girl that you only knew casually to take her in and look after her, I'm sure you'll look after this house like I would. Here's what I'd like for the house" and he named a price. We went back and forth on a price and after about an hour we reached a satisfactory agreement. At first he wasn't going to ask for a written agreement but we convinced him that it really was needed, both for his sake and for ours. We finally moved into our new home and as we went to bed that night Jordan informed me that she'd stopped taking her birth control pills after her last period. Two month later as we sat down to breakfast Jordan had a wonderful smile on her face. I looked at her questioningly and got a big nod. "Yep I'm pregnant." We hugged and kissed for the longest time before finally managing to eat breakfast. In due course a beautiful baby girl arrived and we named her Amanda. Two years later another baby arrived - a boy that we named Michael. Our family was now complete.
