All For You

“I am not terrified by the gallows, which I see staring me in the face, and upon which, I am soon to stand and suffer death for what George Washington was made a hero for doing while for having lent my aid to a general no less honorable and glorious” – John A. Copeland on slavery. 1

The hot sun beamed down on the South Carolina cotton plantation as the slaves worked the fields. All work, no pay. The slaves did rough labor with bestial ‘masters’. The Harpers’ slaves, The Johnson family, were picking cotton. The Harpers’ only son, Christopher, was watching the fields today since his father was attending a party with fellow slave owners. He grimaced at the work these people had to do. He was totally against it, but at the age of nineteen he was supposed to take over the plantation as his father retired into a large town house in Maryland. His father was scheduled to be at the party all night and return around midnight. Christopher lived with his father and his uncle, his mother died when he was eleven years old. 2

Christopher rode his brown horse down the rows examining the slaves do their work. He soon came to a stop when he saw blood splattered on a girl’s ivory working apron. Yet, she was working like nothing happened. When she stood and turned around with a basket full of cotton buds she stared at him, dazed by his handsome features. He had brown wavy hair, and bright green eyes. His face was soft with no flaws and he had thin pink lips. 3

“Excuse me, Ma’am, you have cuts all over your arm, and a blood stained apron, are you okay?” he asked her. 4

“Yeah, I’m okay,” she said, “don’t worry yourself.” 5

“It’s obligated, I can’t let you get infected and die of it. Hop on and I’ll bandage you up.” He said.6

“Okay,” she laid her basket on the ground, and he helped her up onto his horse. 7

They rode to his house. It was a large mansion, with ivory columns and you had to go up about ten steps to get to the front door. They climbed up the steps into his house and then went into his room. He directed her to sit on a wooden chair while he went to get another one. 8

He returned to the room with a wooden chair that resembled the one she sat in, and a roll of bandages, gauze, and medical tape. He took her arm and examined it.9

“Wow, these are deep, what happened?” he asked. 10

“Well, I was attacked by a rosebush, then I hurt myself using a hatchet,” she said and looked at him as he went to work on her arm, “It could’ve amputated my arm right there.” 11

“Whoa,” he looked up at her meeting her glare; it was the first time he actually noticed her eyes. They were silver, “They’re beautiful.”12

“The cuts? Are you crazy?” she chuckled. 13

“No your eyes, they’re pretty.” He said. 14

“Well, thank you.” 15

She blushed, her deep caramel colored skin getting deep red blotches around her cheeks.16

“Is that book by Harriet Breecher Stowe?” She said and looked to the bookshelf behind him. 17

“He followed her stare to a book called ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’, “Yes, it is, do you know how to read?” 18

“Yep, I taught myself how after I found some tossed out books one day when I was going out to run an errand for your father.” 19

He wrapped the bandage one last time, and she winced at the pain. 20

“Sorry,” he apologized.21

“It’s okay,” she said. 22

He applied the tape to hold the bandage in place. 23

“There we go, all done.” 24

“Thank you,” she said. 25

“No problem.” 26

“So do you know how to play cards?” he asked with a crooked smirk.27

“No.” 28

“Want to learn?” 29

“Why not,” she sighed, “but shouldn’t I be getting back to work?” 30

“No, you can’t work in your condition. By the way, I never caught your name.” 31

“I sure can, I’ve been working all morning like this,” she said. “My name in Jasper and yours is Christopher, right?” 32

“Well, you can have the day off, a pretty girl like you shouldn’t be working as hard as you do,” he gave her the same crooked smile, “and yes my name is Christopher or Chris for short. How did you know?” 33

She giggled at his flattery, “I hear my Aunt talk about you and your dad!” 34

“Okay,” he pulled out an old deck of cards and explained to her the rules of blackjack. 35

Later that day, at around five, they started to read a broad sheet that was put up, announcing the sale of Negroes on Sunday that week. 36

“Nobody knows who will go next, it’s scary, and it’s wrong.” She said, “I wish I can just run away, but I can’t.” Her voice was coarse, like she was about to cry, “I was separated from my mom, you know, I’m here with my Aunt, and my little brother. When my mom was 17 her ‘master’ raped her. So, I was just a mistake, and so was my brother. So he sold me to your father and I met my Aunt Karen here.” 37

“Oh, that’s terrible.” He patted her on the back and lifted her chin up to look into his eyes. There were tears ready to come out. When they finally came pouring out her eyes, he gave her a light kiss on the cheek. She reacted by kissing him on the lips. He twisted his hand through her long raven colored hair, and she did the same to his brown hair. 38

They parted their lips for a second. “I’m sorry, we can’t,” she said. 39

“Why not?” he replied, “we already started.” She shrugged and kissed him again. She started to tug at the buttons on his shirt. Following her lead he started to unbutton his shirt and soon he was topless. They kiss got more violent and he started to unbutton her dirt-stained apron. He pulled it from her petite waist without even breaking the kiss. Shortly, she was without her work dress, and he was without his pants.40

“Are we going to…”he asked looking at her with wanting eyes.41

“Yes, well, I guess so, but uh- I’m a v-virgin,” she said and looked down at her bare feet.42

“Me too,” he said and smiled. 43

“Oh,” she kissed him again as they laid down together on his queen-sized bed. 44

They played around with each other’s tongues. The passion increased every second of kissing. Their hands roamed everywhere, all over each others’ bodies. He touched her wet cavern, and she moaned into his mouth. What a feeling, something she never felt before. She licked his neck like a hungry vampire, and groped his already hard member, causing him to groan and pushing further to pleasure him. 45

She traveled down to his torso licking down the path tasting the salt of the sweat that was forming on his abs. She took his member into her hands, and looked at it for a split second before she thought of what to do. She was such a beginner, but he didn’t have much experience either. She took it into her mouth slowly being careful not to choke. He moaned as her tongue swirled around the head and the under skin of his cock. She adjusted to his sex in her mouth and started to bob her head up and down to higher the pleasure. And, finally, he exploded into her mouth. His cum spilling out the sides of her mouth. She hesitated to swallow it, but still did. It didn’t taste so bad actually she thought. With his cum on the sides of her mouth she looked like a toddler that had too much cake. He kissed her after she wiped the corners of her mouth. They switched positions, he was now on top of her and traveling down her torso. When he got to her wet pussy, he licked her clit and felt her twitch under his tender touches. He massaged her clitoris with his thumb as he entered her with one finger painfully. She grabbed the white bedspreads with her fists and bit her lip. She started bleeding a little and he sheets absorbed it. 46

“Are you okay,” he asked before he went further.47

“Yes, don’t stop, please?” she begged.48

He continued to finger her, making her moan. He flicked his tongue expertly across her clit, pushing her over the edge. She climaxed and he lapped up the juices of her orgasm. 49

“Can I-?” he started she interrupted with a quick answer knowing what he was going to say. 50

“Yeah,” she smiled at him. He went up to her face and covered his mouth with his own, to cover up the creams that were destined to come out of her when he was inside of her. He pushed into her in one swift motion still kissing her. He watched her eyes go wide open when he entered her and kissed her deeply. 51

“Sorry,” he said.52

“It’s okay.”53

So, he thrusted into her slowly.54

“You’re so tight,” he commented. This oddly, made her want more. 55

She thrusted her slender hips to meet his strokes. She grabbed him by his hair and kissed him as he stroked, in and out…in and out, and repeated over and over. 56

“Oh, lord!” she gasped as he went faster.57

She was well accustomed to his cock now so he could go harder and faster. 58

“Am I hurting you?” she groaned.59

“No...It feels so...good,” she said between pants. Sweat glistened on both of their foreheads as they made love. 60

“Ugh,” he silenced her with another passionate kiss. He kissed her neck as he pulled out and slammed back into her tight hole. 61

“Chris, something feels weird, it feels extraordinary!” she said. She was starting to climax, and so was he. 62

He went faster and slammed into her more violently, as she clawed his back in pleasure. 63

“Uhhh,” they moaned together in pure ecstasy as they came together. When their climaxed rolled off their bodies, they snuggled closely with their hearts racing and sweat slicked on their bodies. 64

“That was…amazing,” she said as he played with her hair. 65

“So, we took each other’s virginity,” he said.66

“I guess, but we can’t ever tell anybody,” she pouted. 67

“Oh well, we can still see each other, I’ll make sure of it. Also, in two years I’ll have this all too myself. My dad and uncle will move to Maryland, and we’ll get married.” He promised her as he kissed her forehead. 68

“Will the state even allow that?” she asked.69

“In the North, they do. I’ll shut this place down, actually, and we can make it up in the North.” 70

“But, would you leave all this? Just for me? You have everything set for you here,” she said. 71

“All for you,” he smiled reassuring her of his loyalness, even though they had just met. 72

“Do you think we’re in love?” she asked. 73

“Yes, I think I’m in love with you. Do you believe in love at first sight?” 74

“Not until I saw you out in the field.” She said. 75

“Well, Jasper, I love you.” 76

She was shocked, she’d just met him. But, she couldn’t ignore the feeling in her gut that told her she loved him too. 77

“I love you too,” and with that he kissed her forehead. They were covered by the covers now, Jasper heard footsteps, but ignored them. Unfortunately, she’d made the wrong decision. The door opened and Chris’ dad stood there. Chris jumped out of the bed in his underwear while Jasper stayed in bed horrified but covered up. 78

“What are you doing in here?!” he demanded. 79

“She had cuts and I couldn’t just leave her alone-“ 80

“Shut up, did this hussy force herself on you?” he accused. It felt like she was shot through the heart. 81

“No, dad, she didn’t.” Chris said raising his voice a bit.82

“Don’t raise your voice you dumb bastard!?” His father punched him hard in the jaw knocking him down to the ground harshly. His dad then looked at Jasper and started to walk over to her. 83

“Don’t touch her!” Chris yelled holding his jaw on the ground. He didn’t think his dad would, but there her was slapping and punching Jasper to a bloody mess. Chris immediately got up and started pulling his father off of the girl. Jasper was trying to block from the attacks and keep herself covered up. She tasted a metallic flavored liquid in her mouth then noticed her face was bleeding. She didn’t know where, but blood was getting all over!84

Finally, Chris got his dad off her and shoved him to the ground. 85

“Father, leave her alone, she doesn’t deserve this! I’ll be with who I want to be with, you can’t stop that! You hear me?” he demanded. 86

“Asshole, you’re getting yourself in trouble, messing around with this trash.” 87

“She’s not trash! She’s human like you and I! So you will treat her and her family that way, or I’ll leave!” 88

“She’s getting sold this Sunday, anyway.” 89

He froze, he couldn’t leave her, he couldn’t let her leave him either. 90

His dad got up and simply walked out of the room. He looked over to Jasper. 91

“Jasper!” she was sprawled on the bed, her face was bloody and getting swollen. “Jasper!” he screamed at her in attempt to get her up again. It was no use, she wouldn’t wake up. He checked her pulse, her breathing, and her pupil dilation. Her breathing was a bit shallow, her pulse was steady, and her pupils were fine, she was just unconscious. He dressed her in her original working cloth. He went to get ice out of the ice box and put it on her face where it was swollen. He started to sob, her beautiful face was ruined, yet she still looked like a goddess. 92

“Damn it!” He sobbed; he thought it was his entire fault. But it wasn’t, it was loves own fault. 93

He let her sleep until, finally later that night she woke up. 94

“Christopher?” she saw him sitting in the same chair from earlier, “was I dreaming or did what I saw really happen?” 95

He looked at her tears still in his eyes. “It happened.” 96

He went over to her and took her hand, “I’m so sorry.” 97

“It’s okay,” the swelling on her face was down, thanks to the ice, and he cleaned the blood from her face. 98

“You were out for a while, are you feeling fine?” he asked.99

“Yeah, but my head hurts,” she said. 100

“Just give it a few,” he said, ‘Jasper, I was thinking, would you leave with me?” 101

“Huh, oh, Uhm,” she said,102

“Well, why don’t we? We could go to Pennsylvania, you’d be free, and we could get married.” 103

“I don’t know…” 104

“Well, my dad’s going to sell you to someone else this Sunday, would you rather that or it could be you and me up North?” he said, he took her small hand and kissed it as her eyes went wide. 105

“He was going to sell me?” 106

“Yes.” 107

“Okay, we’ll leave,” she whispered. 108

“Great, we could leave tomorrow?” he suggested. 109

“Tomorrow is Saturday, correct?” she asked.110

“Yeah,” he replied.111

“Okay, we’ll leave; don’t you think I should get back outside?” 112

“It’s dark, I’ll walk you back, get some sleep so we could leave early tomorrow,” he said picking her up and slipping on some slippers. 113

He carried her all the way across the field to where she and her family stayed. 114

“Goodnight,” he said. They gave each other a long goodnight kiss, and he started to walk back to his house.115

“’Till tomorrow,” she said as he started to fade into the distance. 116
