I am looking for help finding an interracial sex story that I read several years ago. Unfortunately I don't remember the names of the main characters, but I have basic details that make it distinct from tons of other stories out there.
I don't know what to tell you as far as why I liked it so much, but it is probably my favourite interracial sex story ever. It doesn't include anything demeaning towards white men, which is hugely refreshing after reading so many stories that are racist against white men. I think mainly it is only the fact that the characters are filled in to a greater degree than typical for this genre. So often I find that interracial sex stories are nothing but situations to point out that black penises are the absolute and white women are helplessly addicted to them. I don't mind that so much because I think that every man wishes that his penis made women immediately want him as much as her beauty makes him want her, but this story's author is the sort of person that let's you get to know the characters and is not afraid to breathe everyday details into the story like bumping an elbow or sneezing or the skin around the corners of your eyes crinkling when you smile or staring at dust floating through a sunbeam. I don't list those things because I remember them being in the story, but just to give you the idea of what I mean by 'everyday details'. I would also say that there is more of a thread of actual romance that runs through the story, although there is certainly plenty of the usual lust as well, so don't write this off just yet.
You may say that it is filled with clichés and that there is nothing particularly special about it, but I would dearly love to find it again, so here's a list of things I do remember. If any of you recognise the story, please save a copy immediately and get it to me by hook or by crook.
Thanks in advance; here we go...
The big picture and some particulars:
One summer, a young white widow (around her 30s, if my memory serves correctly) and her teenage daughter move into a country house on the outskirts of a large Texan city. I don't believe that 'Texas' is ever mentioned in the story, but I remember the nearest large city being Dallas or Houston or something else iconicly Texan.
Shortly after moving in, two divorced dark black men who each have three teenage sons move into the house next door. Well you can see where this is headed right up front (eight extremely dark single black men next door to two single white women), but the story takes its time getting there and does so very satisfyingly.
One sunny morning while mowing her lawn on her riding mower and experiencing it breaking down in the process, the widow has her first conversation with her new neighbour (let's call him Black Dad #1) who offers to take a look at the mower after it breaks down. He didn't mess with the mower beforehand; it isn't any kind of trick. Her mower just breaks and he just offers to take a look at it. She reluctantly allows him to and to her surprise and gratitude, he's able to get it running again in short order.
She is embarrassed by how standoffish she had been toward him so far, never having had that much contact with darkly skinned people before, and asks if she can get him something to drink (think innocent - lemonade or iced tea... that sort of thing) after he refuses any kind of payment for fixing the mower and he accepts.
They have a conversation and become comfortable with each other as friendly neighbours.
The chronology is a little mixed up in my head but somewhere not too much further in the story, her daughter is at some sort of summer camp and his brother has taken all six of their boys somewhere... I can't recall whether it's a fishing trip, to see their grandparents, or what the occasion was.
In this time-frame (I can't remember whether this is during when he comes over to get his drink or if this is a later occasion) he comes over to her house for an impromptu lunch (sandwiches if I recall) and she is surprised at how much she enjoys his company (the first man who she's been attracted to since the passing of her husband). He asks if she's dating anyone after they tell each other a little of their personal histories and she confesses that she isn't. He (a bit shyly even... see, I like how he's drawn as a real man who not long ago just went through a divorce and is a little wary of being rejected) asks her if she'd consider a date with him and she, after pausing to consider what she's doing, smiles and gives him the all clear.
She spends the rest of the afternoon giving herself the beauty treatment while he goes back to his place to prepare a romantic dinner, etc.
She makes her way over to his place that night, set to dazzle him and he has a dinner for two ready to go - salad, wine, and I'm assuming steak or something of the sort (though I don't recall what was the meat on the menu) all lit by candlelight.
Anyway, I don't recall how the conversation went, but after eating there is dancing, which of course gets them close, like we've been waiting for. The emotions are still real, though, and the story is drawn as though it was real, rather than some purely hormonal fantasy.
Somewhere during this time-frame they get together, whether or not it is the night of that first date or not. As nervous as they had both been, the sex is great. For our reading pleasure, he is well hung and she is gorgeous and they become comfortable and trusting with each other. This continues throughout the rest of the relatively short time before their family members come back on the scene.
Somewhere along the line, it is established that this is not an exclusive couple quite yet. I don't remember the particulars, but she intends to seduce his (Black Dad #1's) brother (Black Dad #2). After everyone returns, both she and her daughter go over to their neighbours' house for dinner, and she invites Black Dad #2 to attend a concert a few days/weeks later.
The night that she is to go to the concert, her daughter either stays home alone or goes over to a friend's house for the night/weekend. For the record, nothing happens with the daughter until probably 3/4 of the way through the story. In fact for quite a while in the middle of the story there is pretty much no mention of her at all, which is one of my criticisms of the story (I would have liked to see the mother-daughter relationship be deepened for us much more), but I digress.
While Black Dad #2 is driving our protagonist to her concert, she surprises him by demanding that he make a hard left turn on the way there that does not lead to the concert venue. Instead, they pull into the parking lot of her work office and much to his surprise, she asks him in for some good loving. Afterward, she tells him that she's already been involved with his brother which continues his night of surprises. She asks him to keep her involvement with him to himself, which hurts him as he feels that she doesn't want people to know that she is with a black man - certainly not the case if he were white. She denies it has anything to do with skin colour and helps him see that she would not want it to get around that she was seeing two men at once, regardless of the tone of the skin, which he agrees is reasonable.
Through the end of summer, she gets together with the two men whenever their kids aren't around, which isn't often. As school starts up, however, the pace picks up drastically, and the two brothers share her many many times, to the deep satisfaction of all three of them. We get plenty of fun details here. This is the part where the kids are really not even mentioned.
That school year comes to an end and soon the chances for lovemaking are suddenly lessened, with the kids suddenly being present again. By some means, she is able to be alone with Black Dad #1 again and they discover that they have both been considering introducing her daughter to their bedroom games. It turns out that the mother's plans extend past what Black Dad #1 was even thinking of, but they hatch a plan to allow for her to join them, if she should so choose.
Things are put into motion when both of the black men pack up their boys and take all six of them up to their grandparents' place. The mother meanwhile looks for the right moment to speak with her daughter and they have a heart to heart talk that evening. The daughter has questions about her father and questions about boys in general. The mother shares how deeply she loved and still loves her daughter's father and gets a little nervous when her daughter is asking questions about boys, thinking that they were going to have Round 2 of 'The Talk', but her daughter assures her that she understands the mechanics perfectly well which worries her mother to no end. The daughter assures her that she has not been involved sexually with anyone, but has certainly picked up an understanding of the basics from talk at school which defuses the tension.
She asks her daughter whether there are any boys that she is attracted to. Her daughter blushes and shares with her mother the things that she likes about the six boys next door, saying that they are her best friends and always look after her on the school bus and at school, making sure that no one harasses her. She then admits that she is very attracted to all of them, listing things about each one that make them special to her.
