Coming of Age, by Juno It was late on a Saturday afternoon and Margo was restless again. If Margo was not busy at work, then these feelings of being restless and anxious to do something seemed to overwhelm her. It had been three years since her husband had died and Margo had taken over the business. She had always worked at the insurance business that she and her late husband had founded. Since his death, Margo had not hired his replacement; she simply became the President of the company. Further, she had maintained her position as CFO. Margo simply worked harder and longer to do the work of the two positions. It was this time-consuming work that kept Margo from these restless feelings she had when she was away from work. Margo heard voices and a basketball being dribbled from the driveway on the side of the house. She walked over to the window to watch the two people playing a game of one-on- one. The taller player of the two was slowly advancing toward the basket, forcing the other player to give ground. The smaller player was trying to stop the advancement by hand checking and leaning his body against the taller player's backside. Once the taller player got close to the basket, she turned and shot over the outstretched hand of the smaller player. Margo smiled as her daughter scored the basket. Margo's daughter, Nada, had played and starred for both her high school and college basketball teams. Margo was not surprised at Nada's ability, but at her ease of dominating the other player. The other player was Ken, Nada's husband. Ken had also played both high school and college basketball. Ken was never the best player on his teams, but he was a starter at both levels. The big difference was size between Nada and Ken; Nada stood 6'2" tall, while Ken was stretching the truth when he said he was 5'10" tall. Nada also outweighed Ken by 20 or 25 pounds. As Margo continued to watch Nada dominate Ken on the basketball court, she felt as if she had never realized their respective size differences. The feeling of being restless that Margo had earlier felt was now being replaced by a tingling sensation. Margo could not stop watching the contest and felt disappointed when Nada made a basket and yelled "game" at Ken. Margo continued watching as Nada and Ken walked off the court, with Nada's arm draped over Ken's shoulder as she consoled him on his loss. Ken looked even smaller as Nada pulled him close to her body in a walking hug as she guided him off the court. As Nada and Ken disappeared from Margo's view, she continued to feel the tingling sensation as she replayed parts of the game over in her mind. The size difference and how easily Nada had physically pushed Ken around the court would not leave Margo's mind. Margo then began to think about Paul, her late husband. Margo and Paul had been married almost 25 years before his death and had worked together in their business for almost the same period of time. Paul was a big man, 6'4", and was an assertive and action- oriented person. Nada was very much like her father, both in size and personality. While Margo and her husband, made most personal and business decisions together as a couple, it was Paul who ran both the house and business affairs. They had been happy together and the marriage and business were both a success. While Paul was considered a big man, Margo was also considered a big woman. Margo was almost 6'1" and while not fat, she was solid in an athletic way. But, until Margo watched the basketball game between her daughter and son- in-law, she had never paid any attention to her size. Now the thoughts running through her mind was not only the size difference between her daughter and son-in-law, but the size difference between her and most of the other people in her life. Margo left her bedroom, went downstairs and entered the kitchen. Ken was at the sink washing his hands. For some reason that Margo could not understand, she had a desire to stand next to Ken and compare their respective sizes. Margo grabbed a towel and walked over to Ken. "Here Ken, dry your hands and stop dripping water over my kitchen floor," said Margo, as she walked over to Ken and stood behind him. As Ken turned from the sink he took the towel from Margo. As Margo stood in front of Ken, she gave him only enough room between them to dry his hands. Margo was literally blocking Ken from leaving from the sink area. Margo could not understand why she stood so close to Ken, but she again started to tingle, as she stood in front of Ken, looking down at him. "Thanks for the towel Margo," said Ken, as he laid the towel on the kitchen counter and tried to ease pass Margo. "Not so fast Ken," said Margo, as she put her arm in front of Ken and placed her hand on the edge of the counter, stopping Ken from leaving. Margo could not fathom her behavior, all she knew was that she wanted to physically stop Ken from leaving the sink area, much like her daughter physically moving Ken around the basketball court at her will. "Let me see if your hands are dry," said Margo, as she took both of Ken's hands into her hands. Margo held his hands in hers and turning them over a couple of times. Margo could not stop staring at his hands as she held them in hers; Ken's hands were literally lost in Margo's hands. His hands were petit in comparison. Margo then closed her hands around Ken's hands and his hands disappeared in Margo's grip. As if in a spell, Margo started to squeeze Ken's hands while they were still enclosed in hers. "Ouch, ouch, damn Margo that hurts, let go, please let go now," yelled Ken. "Hey, what is going on in here," said Nada, as she walked into the kitchen. Nada saw her husband being pushed up against the sink counter by her Mother. And it appeared that her Mother had hold of both her husband's hands and he was unsuccessfully trying to pull away from her grip. "Mother, let go of Ken, you are hurting him," urged Nada. Suddenly, Margo let go of Ken's hands and staggered back a couple of steps. Margo could not believe what she had just done to Ken. Normally, Margo was not a touch and feel type of person. She and Ken had a good relationship, but were not particularly close, in fact Nada and Ken did not visit that often, "Ken, I'm sorry," said Margo, "I must be losing my mind". Margo watched at Nada was trying to comfort Ken; Nada was rubbing his hands with hers. Margo noticed how Ken's small hands disappeared into the larger hands of his wife. As Margo watched Nada and Ken, she once again started to feel the tingling sensation throughout her body. Margo excused herself and went upstairs to her bedroom. "Mother, can I come in" asked Nada. "Please, please, Nada, come in," answered Margo, as she was sitting on her bed. "What is going on, you almost broke Ken's hands," said Nada as she sat next to her Mother on the bed. "I am so sorry," said Margo, "but since your Father's death, I have been feeling either restless or listless, I just can't describe it". "But today, after watching you and Ken play basketball, I got another type of feeling, a tingling feeling, and all I wanted to do was to touch, feel, squeeze, control, or whatever to Ken". "I don't know, I must be going crazy, only at work do I feel in control and sane," said Margo. "Mother, you are not crazy," said Nada, "maybe you should see my friend at the college, Janet". "Janet, isn't she the assistant athletic director," said Margo. "Yes, but she has done a lot in the field of cultural studies of today's woman," said Nada, "I think you would like her and maybe she can help you with these feelings". "But, before you go see Janet, you need to come over to have dinner with Ken and me. I think it would help as a preview for your meeting /discussions between you and Janet in regard to your new feelings. "We need to do something before you either maim or kill my little husband," laughed Nada, "he has enough trouble with his larger than life wife, he doesn't need to watch out for his larger than life Mother-in-law". They both laughed and hugged each other. "You are right Nada, until today, I didn't realize how small and fragile your husband was," laughed Margo. As Margo rang the doorbell, she hoped that she had not overdressed for dinner. Nada did not say whether dinner was to be formal or not. So Margo wore a pants suit, which is what she normally wore to work. However, tonight she had on heels, something she never wore to work or practically anywhere else for that matter. At times Margo was a little embarrassed about her height, so she normally wore flats. But tonight she had the urge to wear heels, so Margo added 3 inches to her height, now standing almost 6' 4". Nada opened the door and was surprised to be looking up at her Mother. "Well, it must be a miracle, my Mother wearing heels," laughed Nada. Nada was dressed in shorts, a sleeveless shirt and barefooted. "Mother, you look great, I guess I forgot to mention to dress casual, but if you can stand us slobs come in and have a glass of wine, said Nada, as she linked her arm with Margo's and led her to the den. As Margo and Nada sat in leather armchairs, Margo glanced around the room where she saw pictures, plaques, trophies, etc., that were Nada's. Besides being a sports star in high school and college, Nada had been one of the leading account executives for a major brokerage house. Nada was now a regional vice-president for the same firm. If anything in the room was Ken's, Margo did not see it. "Ken, Mother is here, you can serve the wine now," yelled Nada. "Ok, I will be there in a minute," answered Ken. "No, not in a minute, bring it now Ken, unless you want me to get the wine," answered back Nada. No, no, I'm coming, sorry Nada, I will be right there," said Ken. Before Margo could say that she was not in a rush for wine, Ken came in the room, almost running, with two glasses of wine. Ken also had on shorts, a golf shirt, sandals and an apron. Margo had to look twice to be sure. It was not a chef's kind that some men wore when grilling outside, but the type that Margo's mother used to wear. "Here is the wine ladies," said Ken as he handed both Nada and Margo their wine. "Can I get you anything else"? he asked. Before Nada could reply, Margo asked, "Ken, are you not going to join us for a glass of wine? "Mother, Ken has to finish preparing dinner, you know a man's work is never done," said Nada. "Ken, We expect to eat in 15 minutes, so you better get to work and now let us the hardworking executives have some peace and quiet," laughed Nada as she swatted Ken's rear as he started back to the kitchen. "Nada, I didn't know Ken could cook," said Margo. Nada sipped her wine and laughed, "Ken didn't know he needed to know how to cook until I explained to him what our roles would be as a married couple." "But, Ken is a fast learner, good thing, considering all of the things he has had to learn over the past 4 years," continued Nada. "Mother, I don't just dominate Ken on the basketball court, I dominate his whole life. That is why I wanted you to come over tonight. I want to show you that the stronger partner in a marriage is the dominant partner. By stronger, I am speaking about being physically stronger than your partner; nothing to do with being a man or a woman, just who is the stronger and dominant partner. I am taller, stronger, and smarter, earn more money than Ken, plus I enjoy being the dominant partner in our marriage. I prefer having a man as my husband who is shorter and weaker than me; as well as being subservient to me," said Nada as she finished her wine. "I know this is a lot for you to comprehend all at once, but I knew when you described your feelings to me the other day, that you were ready for this discussion," said Nada. "Mother, I was going to wait until after dinner, but I cannot wait, I want to show you now a demonstration about what I am talking about," said Nada as she rose from the chair. "Ken, I want you to come to the den now, forget dinner for now and come out here," yelled Nada. Margo was still trying to digest what her daughter had just said. She was still sitting down looking up at Nada stood with her arms folded across her chest as she waited for Ken. As Ken entered the room, he looked at Nada, then Margo and back to Nada and asked, "Is anything wrong?" "No Ken, nothing is wrong," answered Nada, "just come over here and stand in front of my Mother." "Why do you want ... ... ... ..," Ken started to say, "Ken, shut up and do what I just told you to do," snapped Nada firmly. Ken started to speak, but thought better and stumbled over to stand in front of Margo. "Is this what you wanted Nada," Ken stammered. "That is just perfect, my little husband," cooed Nada as she stepped over to stand directly behind Ken. "Now Mother, please watch, I will show you not only my physical dominance over Ken, but my ability to control whether he lives or dies," stated Nada. Before Ken could move or react to Nada's words, Nada pulled Ken straight back into her as she wrapped her left arm around Ken's chest. Nada's long arm stretched across Ken's chest and her left hand clamped down on Ken's upper right arm and held it tight against his side. With Ken held in control by Nada's left arm, Nada then covered Ken's mouth and nose with her right hand. Margo watched as Ken struggled against his larger wife, with his arms trapped against his sides, Ken could not reach up to Nada's hand that covered his mouth and nose. Ken tried to kick Nada, but Nada swept her left leg around and pulled Ken's left leg out at angle, allowing Ken only one leg to maintain his balance. Margo watched as Ken's eyes starting to get wider, then just as Margo was going to speak, Nada released her hand that was coving most of Ken's face. While Nada continued to hold Ken in place, he was at least able to gulp in air. "Ken, if you promise not to kick I will release your leg," said Nada as she allowed Ken both legs to stand up on. Ken nodded, while continuing to gulp air. As Nada released her original grip around Ken's chest, she then placed her left arm around Ken's chest once again, but this time it was just his chest, his arms were now outside of Nada's grip. "Now Ken, with no kicking and I want you try to escape with the use of your hands and manly strength," quipped Nada as she once again covered Ken's mouth and nose with her right hand. Nada repositioned her left arm a little lower on Ken's chest and then leaned back. This forced Ken to try to stand on the tip of his toes to maintain contact with the floor. At times his toes left the floor as Nada swayed back and forth. Ken's now free hands and arms went directly to Nada's right hand and arm in an effort to peel her hand from his face. But to no avail, Ken's two hands were no match for Nada's one hand. Plus Nada made it more difficult for Ken by rocking him back and forth, sweeping his feet off the floor. As Ken started to go limp in Nada's grip, Nada released her grip on his face and placed both of his feet on the floor. Nada still held Ken against her body, otherwise he would have fell to the floor. Still standing in front of her Mother, holding Ken upright with her left arm, Nada asked, "Well is there any question who can impose their physical dominance in this marriage and are you as wet as I am?" Margo reacted as if someone had slapped her, she had been sitting on the edge of the chair while watching Nada, now she fell back against the chair, tried to speak, but could not find any words. Then slowly, as if Nada's words just registered in her mind, she felt the wetness between her legs. Margo just exhaled and looked at her daughter holding her son-in-law upright. "Now for part two," said Nada as she placed Ken in the other chair. Ken had somewhat recovered, but was very quiet. Nada brought over a stool that had been in front of another armchair. She placed it in front of the chair that she had dropped Ken in. She told Ken to stand on the stool and face her Mother. Nada then stood in front of the stool, also in front of her Mother and in front of Ken. With Ken standing on the stool, he was now about 2 or 3 inches taller than Nada. "Ok Ken, do to me what I did to you, place your left arm around my arm and chest while holding my right arm to my side with your left hand. When I say go, you cover my mouth and nose with your right hand. Now let's see if I can break your holds or can you control whether I live or die. Ok Ken go, control this big mean strong woman if you can." Ken had trouble reaching across Nada's left arm and chest, his left hand barely could reach her upper right arm. He covered her mouth and nose, but his hand was smaller than Nada's, so his grip was not as tight. Nada just stood still while Ken was trying to firm up his grip on his wife. After Ken seemed ready, Nada still stood still, she was trying to move her mouth, apparently she was successful,, because she was able to get air and licked his hand at the same time. "Nada, stop licking my hand," Ken yelled, as he released his grip on her face. "Ok, I will stop licking you little one, now get a good grip and control your big strong wife," laughed Nada as she winked at her Mother. Ken reapplied his grip. Nada again stood still for a minute or so, then pulling her right hand from Ken's feeble attempt of a grip, she took hold of Ken's wrist and pulled his hand from her face. She also stepped away from the stool, while still holding Ken's wrist she pulled his wrist up and out from her body. This pulled Ken over Nada's right shoulder as she walked over to her Mother's chair. Nada turned around in front of Margo's chair, released her grip on Ken's wrist, dumping Ken into her Mother's lap. "Here Mother, you play with him awhile," laughed Nada. Ken just lay against Margo as he sat in her lap. Margo was stunned to have Ken in her lap and for a moment did not know what to do. "Go ahead Mother, wrap him up, hold him against you and cut off his air supply," laughed Nada. "Show him who is in charge, show him who is stronger, show him who is the boss, come on Mother, be dominant, be the woman I know you can be," yelled Nada. Margo felt her body tingle like it had never tingled before, it was like someone was sending electric shockwaves through her body. Without even thinking, she wrapped one arm around Ken and clamped her free hand over his mouth and nose. Margo pulled Ken tight against her body and pulled the back of Ken's head tight against her shoulder. Margo felt Ken struggling against her grip, but it was futile and she knew she could hold him like this forever. That feeling made her pull Ken even harder against her. She felt Ken's struggles getting less, then felt him shudder against her. Almost simultaneously with Ken's last shudder, Margo experienced the greatest climax she had ever felt. The next thing she knew or felt was Nada's hand pulling her hand off of Ken's face. "Mother, lets not kill him today, we might want to play with him some more," laughed Nada, "besides we haven't had dinner yet and remember Ken is both cooking and cleaning up," as Nada continued to laugh.
