Prologue Sunflower Forever Free was alone, camping somewhere in the middle of this vast, wild and beautiful space, and she felt safer than she had in a long time. No matter how much the night sounds frightened her, and they did, she was still absolutely sure leaving The Mount had been the best decision she’d made in her short life. Settling further into her sleeping bag, she leaned back against a big ancient tree and looked into the fire she’d started. The many things she didn’t know about herself suddenly came flooding in. She didn’t know how old she was or where she’d been born. Wait a minute, she might be exhausted, but that was no excuse to focus on the negatives of her situation. Instead she made a concerted effort to focus on what she did know. She had blonde hair, blue eyes and resided in the body of a skinny kid, which she secretly hoped would soon bloom. Knowing or not knowing things was fine with her. She had a plan to make herself into the best person she could possibly be and none of those details were necessary to accomplish this. For weeks, maybe months, she’d been walking farther away from the only home she’d ever known. Earlier today, she’d found this grove and immediately felt that here, within Mother Nature’s embrace, was the perfect place to stop. It was time to take stock of where she was and where she wanted to go. Sunflower wasn’t surprised that living on the commune hadn’t equipped her to exist out in the real world. Despite being unprepared, she still believed leaving had been the best, really the only option for her. Everything she’d known since birth at The Mount was changing and she’d lost any sense of being loved and safe. While growing up, she’d heard others speak of conventional families and it had always fascinated her. The concept of what others had called the picket-fence lifestyle 5

was a fantasy for her. Like many kids born in the commune, she didn’t know who her mother or father were or even if they still resided there. It was the community that took responsibility for raising the children. On the whole, there’d been little, if any discipline and a modest education. Instead, the focus was on allowing the children of all ages as many freedoms as they wanted. It also offered an assortment of adults to give the kids a variety of role models rather than the traditional two. Over the years, there’d been many different mother figures in her life, but she’d grown closest to Honey. Sunflower was sure the woman wasn’t all that old, and yet she’d offered the most stability and consistency whenever Sunflower asked for guidance. Unfortunately, when she hadn’t been looking, the only home she’d ever known turned around and fear had replaced her easy contentment. It was obvious to anyone who was paying attention that The Mount was in the midst of a change. Even though she was young, she understood that, like the land, nothing was static. However, the once free and open community where no one ever did anything to harm another person was being replaced by hidden agendas and power struggles. Finally she told Honey how scared and unsettled she felt and that she feared some man or boy would take her without her being initiated. The older woman’s response had been immediate. She’d told Sunflower to leave. At first she’d been shocked, then hurt, but eventually Sunflower began to understand why Honey had made the suggestion. To leave The Mount was the only way Sunflower would find real security. Later that same night, after everyone had gone to sleep, Honey had quietly come up to Sunflower’s cot and with a gentle hand on her shoulder, woke her up. A finger lightly pressed against her lips and the woman she respected most silently placed money into her hand and folded her fingers around it. Without any words, she’d understood what was happening. It was time to leave the only home she’d ever known.

Pulling away from the tree, Sunflower sat forward and poked at the small fire with a stick. There was no point in rehashing the past. Putting The Mount and her life there behind her had started the moment she walked off their land. There was a new and wondrous world before her and she was eager to join it. With assurance and conviction, although she wasn’t aware where either had come from, she knew she wanted to feel safe and loved, and receive a real education. There was so much to gain from knowledge. She wanted to take in as much as her brain could handle and more. She felt at peace with her plan. And in this time of oneness with the world, nature and her place in it, she believed wholeheartedly somewhere near here was where she’d stay. This was a stunning and peaceful land that spoke directly to her soul. Her safe haven must be nearby. While focusing on the glowing embers, she decided tomorrow she’d pack up her stuff, pick a direction and walk until she found something she liked. If she didn’t find anything in a few days, she’d turn around and come back to this place, pick a new direction and start over. Smiling for having decided upon a path, she lay back down and looked through the canopy into the black mass above with its multitude of twinkling stars. Yes, she’d definitely found her patch of peace on earth.
On the second day of walking, she came upon a roadside restaurant, stepped inside and her life changed. Sunflower knew in her belly that this was going to be one of the best days of her life. She just knew it. The woman was as round as she was tall, of Mexican descent and an indeterminate age, but the graying hair tucked into a tidy bun said she was an older woman. She worked a long and busy Formica counter with ease, pouring coffee as she talked with the customers. Standing out of the way and watching the beehive of activity, Sunflower waited patiently for a quiet moment to put forward her offer of labor for food. 7

It hadn’t taken the busy woman long to notice the newcomer. Apparently one look at the skinny girl had her quickly bustling over to where she stood by the door. “What can I do for you, niña bonita?” A ring of happiness surrounded this smiling woman. Even though she’d called Sunflower a pretty little girl, she was feeling unsure and a little intimidated. Sunflower was still drawn to her. It made her feel special to be the focus of this woman’s undivided attention. “Do you need any help today, ma’am?” Her behavior wasn’t learned. It was, however, ingrained in her soul to be respectful and polite to others. She’d done this a couple of times throughout her journey and it hadn’t become any easier. She was also very nervous and, yes, hungry too. The woman took a long, hard look at her, as if looking into her soul. Holding her breath, she waited until she saw a nod of the gray head. “Pick up your bag, niña, and bring it with you. We’ll get you an apron and you can bus some tables. Once it’s quiet, we feed you and talk, yes?” There was an accent to the words that rolled off the woman’s tongue and she loved it. There’d been a young man who’d arrived at The Mount who spoke Spanish and had taught some of the kids a few words. “Yes, gracias. Thank you, ma’am.” “None of this ma’am stuff, I’m Rosie and you are?” They moved together into the backroom. After she put her bag down beside a desk, she turned back to face the woman. “Sunflower Forever Free, pleased to meet you.” As she’d seen others do, she held out her hand and waited while the woman wiped her hand clean on her apron before clasping hold. “Wow, what a mouthful of a name for such a tiny little thing. I call you Sunny.” A smile bloomed across the older woman’s face that was infectious. Sunflower felt herself relax and her lips lift at the corners. “I’d like that, Rosie, thank you.” 8

“A polite niña bonita, I’m impressed. Now come on, those people out there can turn vicious if not promptly fed, watered and sent happily on their way.” After the morning rush was finished, Rosie and her husband Jose Martinez sat her down and watched in awe as she wolfed down two grilled cheese sandwiches and a pile of twice fried French fries. Sunny was completely honest with the couple—she knew no other way to be. She told them she didn’t know how old she was, where she was born or anything other than her name. She also calmly and concisely explained how the commune where she’d been brought up had changed and was no longer the best place for her to live. Also how, with the help of her friend, she’d set out to find a safe place to settle down and eventually receive an education. It turned out the Martinezes owned Rosario’s Ranch, a thriving mini-complex. They told her it bordered on Yellowstone National Park with a restaurant, bar and gift shop. In times past, it’d also been a motel with a half-dozen cottages centered on a courtyard. The elderly couple said they’d scaled everything back until all that remained of the motel was a small house down by the river and a couple of smaller cottages off to the side for visiting family members. By the end of that first day, Sunny was sleeping in one of the cottages and had a job at the restaurant. The conditions were simple. As long as she allowed the couple to act as guardians, they promised to see she was properly educated for the future. Accepting their offer had been an easy decision to make.

Chapter One Ten Years Later
How had she ended up in such an incredibly erotic position as the one she was currently holding? Sunny had plenty of time to think about what led her to being naked, blindfolded in a big dusty barn and tied to a unique saddle that would sporadically fuck her to a screaming climax. When not in the throes of coming, she heard other people moving about, talking, even some sexual noises, implying she wasn’t the only person swirling in a morass of lust, although that knowledge offered her little solace. About the time she’d start to feel like she might have had enough, the saddle would start back up, controlling her and her needs. She fought against the sexual contraption’s power and wasn’t entirely sure why. Maybe it was the idea a machine could control her this easily. Then, when she thought she had all the answers and was ready to call an end to the demo, the thing would give her another delicious orgasm. This left her feeling like a cat with a bowl full of cream and there was no way she could walk away from the pleasure. Panting, perspiration coating her body, she felt her mind settle back into how she found herself here, strapped down for her pleasure. Years earlier, her friend Ted had invited her into this group of people, who gathered at a predetermined ranch for sexual playtime. The participants came from all walks of life, but each and every one of them preferred a lifestyle less conventional than what society considered normal. They resided in a predominantly conservative portion of the country, and although they may have felt free to express themselves as they desired, it was best done with those they trusted to hold the specifics private.

Ride ‘Em
Tonight there were more people here than usual, due to a few newcomers attending their first party with their sponsors. She and Ted arrived after a group of men had finished setting up the new toy to be demonstrated. There was usually something new being shown, and this apparatus had instantly caught her attention. The quality of the workmanship and materials was superb. Standing back, she had seen a piece of furniture that looked like a full-sized horse, faux body, saddle, stirrups and all. Where it deviated and became a sex toy was with the presence of a large leather-encased dick angled toward the front of the saddle. Where the pommel would normally be was a patch of leather that had been worked to resemble sandpaper rather than the usual smooth texture. She had known immediately what delicious torture it would be on her clit. With a couple other members, Sunny had put her name in the hat to act as a tester. Less than an hour later, her name had been pulled and she was going to be the first to try it out. Surprised to be chosen, she’d walked up onto the stage on shaking legs. She was definitely nervous and slightly off balance because she’d never been a demonstrator before. At the same time her body was quivering with excitement and eagerness to enjoy the experience. The toy’s workings had been carefully explained to her and after she gave her formal assent, her body was placed under the care of others. A blindfold was put over her eyes and carefully secured so she couldn’t see a thing. Then she’d felt unknown hands take all her clothes away, except for her favorite red cowboy boots. A vote had been taken from the audience and they’d unanimously decided the boots should stay. Apparently she looked erotic, nude except for the boots. Once the attire, or lack of, had been decided, someone helped her mount the horse. A low gruff voice quietly gave her further instructions. She’d stood in the stirrups and, with guidance, leaned forward over the padded neck, and her arms hung down. She’d easily accepted unfamiliar soft feminine hands holding hers as another person tied them together at the wrist with rope. After that, a length was twined around her ankles

and then secured within the stirrups. Rough, calloused hands had held her hips while yet another set held her lower lips open as they manipulated her body for a controlled descent back and onto a solid prick-like object. The tool’s crown rested just inside her pussy’s opening. After some adjustments, about two inches were lodged into her moist slit. Then, abruptly and without any notice, her world had been tossed around, leaving her the screaming mass of pleasure she was right now. Waiting for what the saddle would give her next. She wasn’t sure how the equipment was being operated, but it was inspiring. Two options had been explained to her and both were available this evening. One was by remote control and the other a program entered into the computer driving the tool in a set pattern. Either way, the machine worked in a relatively silent manner as it fucked her senseless. The dildo didn’t merely thrust in and out at a steady mechanical rhythm. No, it pleasured her like a walking, talking man who knew exactly how she liked to be taken. Each time the tool slid into her pussy, the power of the thrust moved her clit over the abrasive patch of leather, further exciting her passions. Then, without warning, it started again with a single, deep, solid stroke until it grazed near, but not against, her unique spot of buried nerves. She wanted to shift her body, so that on the next plunge it would nudge the sensitive area, but she couldn’t move even a little bit. Again and again, it drove into her pussy, then, when she thought she’d found the pace, the rhythm changed to short, sharp jabs and frustration moved through her. Fighting against the steady action, she finally called out, “Please, faster!” By this time, she’d been desperate for a hard, deep ramming to bring her off all the sooner. Only a quick route was not in this toy’s repertoire, at least not that she’d experienced. The rapid thrusts were replaced by lazy, sporadic hard plunges and accompanied by an incredible swirling motion, bumping against her pussy’s walls. Pleasure sparked and raced down and around her body. She was encouraged to want
12
Ride ‘Em
even more while still searching for the elusive orgasm. Right as she once again settled into the rhythm, it changed, giving her seven, eight, nine solid strokes without pausing. In and out, over and over again, the leather tool moved until she thought she’d go mad. The faux rod had easily mastered her mind and body. Tied to the fake horse, she wasn’t able to move much in any direction and take control to fuck herself with the leather beast. Instead, she was reduced to a writhing, moaning puddle of need. Her body shook, her legs quaked in their static position and her heart beat even faster. The smell of sweat, hay and leather helped her live and breathe her lustful imaginings. As she screamed with frustration and an insane need to come, relief suddenly crashed upon her with a climax that left her body clenching around the gently shifting tool. Her passionate exertions had taken a toll. A breathless wheeze squeezed from her lumbering lungs. In a somewhat calmer moment, with the leather rod filling her pussy, she realized the saddle was ultimately a begging machine. Did she plead because she wanted more? Or was it because she couldn’t take another moment of the intense pleasure it offered? Under her breath, she still begged for something. She wasn’t entirely sure for what, but there was something she desperately needed. Then the chaos spinning wildly around her mind came to an abrupt yet comforting stop when a large hand smoothed up the back of her leg. She gasped as it slowly stroked from the top of her boot, up behind her knee and along her thigh to finally rest upon the slope of her ass. It was a man’s hand gentling her heated flesh, coupled with a deep masculine voice whispering soothing nonsense in her ear. He eased her tension much like a rider does a horse after a long, hard ride. For a split second, she wasn’t sure whether she liked being handled like this, then just as quickly realized she actually did very much enjoy the simple calming gesture, laced with concern and possibly something of a more erotic nature. 13

In that moment, she felt special, prized and beautiful. Her breath caught in the back of her throat. There was something about his touch, some quality that said this was a monumental moment. She needed to focus, pull herself together and remember there were rules to be followed. All sexual play in their weekly barn parties was safe, sane and always consensual. For her, there’d be no intercourse with a person not on her previously submitted play list. She had a moment of regret, then it was dashed away. Her list of yeses and nos had been compiled in her kitchen, without any pressure and temptations. The rules were set to protect people like her who came to find pleasure without a partner. No matter how much she might want to break the rules, no one here would allow that to happen. Currently there was no one serious in her life, no one to satisfy her passionate nature. In her lifetime, she’d had less than a handful of men who’d lasted longer than a few months. Unfortunately, none of them had what it took to possess her entirely. Heart, body and soul. She wanted it all and wouldn’t settle for anything less. Sunny didn’t think she was a conceited person, but was always honest, with others and herself. She was a healthy, intelligent woman with a burning passionate core that didn’t allow her to sit back and wait for true love to knock on her door. It did, however, leave her in control of her sex life. Instead of sitting back and waiting for something to happen, she took her desires when, where and with whom or what she wanted. Without any regrets or second thoughts. As a true voluptuary with submissive tendencies, she’d normally be in high demand at the barn parties. However, the group knew her rules and that always meant hands off, unless permission had been previously granted. Although she was aware there were a few people here this evening who did have her approval, there was nothing familiar about this hand stroking her ass. He simply felt different from everyone else and it was delightful. This man was distinctive and, in her current position, her mind and body were looking to entice him nearer. No matter 14
Ride ‘Em
how restricted her movements were, she still tried to lure him closer to her side. Her motive was simple. Tempt him and his passion to the surface so he’d take what he wanted, rules of the club be damned. “Shhh, it’s all right, my little beauty. Everything will be fine. Don’t fight the pleasure so much. Find the gentle waves of desire and ride them to completion. You’re an incredibly beautiful woman when you come. I think you should spend all your days and nights either climbing the wall to climax or freefalling down the other side.” A big, rough hand repeatedly stroked her backside and flank. His deep rumbling voice was like a dream, delicious, sensuous and she wanted to hear more. “Who are you?” “Shhh, shhh, later you’ll have your answers. Right now I want to watch you climb the pleasure ladder again.” The wicked and wonderful hand continued the soft petting until she was completely relaxed, lying fully against the leather padded neck of the horse structure. Feeling the heated flush gracing her cheeks and hair damp from her earlier exertions, she knew she didn’t make the most desirable sight, but he didn’t seem to mind. An average woman in height and beauty, possessing a boyish figure with middling sized breasts, didn’t have an abundance of men rushing to her side. Especially in the small town where she lived. And while managing a restaurant-bar-gift shop for the elderly couple who had taken a chance on her in her youth was a good honest living, it didn’t bring the eligible men out either. But she still wouldn’t move away. Love, and happiness were things she thought about. She strongly believed they were all connected by karma. In her view, nothing important was easily achieved. If it could be paid for with money, then it had no real value to start with. This view of life was one of the few things she retained from her unusual childhood. This man had the remarkable ability to speak directly to her even while engaging her inner naughty character. His dulcet tones worked her lust perfectly but also teased the edges of her dreams. 15

Without warning, the saddle dick started to thrust into her pussy, pushing her body toward another climax. Slowly, it fucked her with an unyielding and constant in and out motion. Her natural instinct was to fight the pleasure and power the machine had over her. Tensing up, she was ready to stave off the need threatening to take over her mind and body. “Relax, just relax. And remember, don’t fight the pleasure, embrace it.” She sensed him stepping away from her side. For a second, she felt bereft of his comforting presence but decided to try it his way. Purposefully she allowed her muscles to go lax and sank into the bliss given to her by the leather rod. The unrelenting merciless mass easily mastered her body, owned her pleasure on a superficial level and she was all right with that, for now. Sunny found everything about this evening deliciously wicked. She enjoyed being taken while people watched. When she had a strong partner in her life, she felt in balance, cherished and that was a feeling she wanted to experience. The strange man encouraged her to expect the pleasure. To want the release enough to not fight it, but instead to stretch further and reach for it. The leather tool was almost fully imbedded and held completely still in her pussy. It was difficult, but she maintained her relaxed stance, ready to take whatever it threw her way. Sunny focused on a feeling of tranquility surrounding and filling her, as she lay draped over the horse’s neck. Each breath she took was paced to help keep her from falling apart as she had before. She was doing what her mystery man had suggested, finding and riding the pleasure to the end. Suddenly, she was pulled away from the easy erotic pool she’d been floating in and sent hurtling into the unexpected, bringing a gasp of surprise along with it. “Yes! Oh jeez, yes, right there! Uhhh, ohhh, ohhh!” In quick succession, short, hard jabs continuously, mercilessly, hit right against her G-spot. Her pussy pulsed, then clenched around the plunging rod before she broke.
16
Ride ‘Em
Quickly, after a few thrusts, she came. The solid tip of the hard leather held no sympathy for her and kept fucking, landing repeatedly against a patch of nerves. She moaned as she climaxed again. She felt the crowd move in closer to her while they spoke about what was happening to her. For her sanity, she paid them little attention and let the words land where they would. Why should she care? Sunny was finally experiencing what she’d been seeking for what felt like hours. “Look at how she’s falling apart. I bet it’s tapping her G-spot!” “How many times has she come? The amount of cream coating the dick is fantastic.” “I can’t wait to see how wet the saddle is when she’s done. I must have one of these horses.” “Those tits should have been clipped. See how they appear lost with no attention being paid to them.” All the voices surrounding her melted away when, off to the side, she heard the man who’d been whispering in her ear talk to Ted, her comrade and companion at the barn parties. “Who’s her Master?” “Right now she’s unattached.” “I claim her, with her permission, of course.” The stranger spoke with conviction that could easily send her right back into passion’s abyss. “Court, this needs to be discussed in a less heated environment. Wait until another day.” “No! I can’t wait, this beauty is mine.” “No way, buddy! Don’t play the big man here. You have to wait. I’ll be seeing her home tonight, alone. You can arrange to meet her through me. My decision is final.” Her friend could be a steel wall when it came to protecting her and it sounded like that
17
Tilly Greene
was what he was doing. If she could actually put two words together she’d let him know she wanted more from the man he was speaking with. “She takes my breath away.” “Yup, she does that, Court, but she’s ours. So be very careful where you tread.” “Ours?” “Yes, ours. There’s not one person in this group, six counties wide and more, who won’t come after you if this girl is hurt.” “I’m clean. Have been for almost three years and plan to stay this way for the rest of my life. This is where I belong and where I want to be. No more screwing up, Ted, I promise.” “Good. Glad to have you back, man.” “Yeah, feels good to be back.” “Uhhh, uhhh…oh ye-es!” They were silent as she came again. She assumed they were watching her fall apart and thrived on having this man along with the rest of the barn’s occupants’ undivided attention. “My dick’s been begging for her since the moment I walked in and saw how she was being taken by this leather horse. How can such a beauty be unclaimed?” Hearing this from the unknown man who turned her on as none other had and pleased her greatly. “You’ve been gone a long time and she is unique, special.” “What’s her name?” “That’s for her to offer.” “Fair enough.” Sunny heard the words they spoke, but at this moment, none of it made much sense. Her passion-laden mind was slow, and even though she wanted it to, her brain was unwilling to move away from the euphoric place it resided. Two sets of hands held 18
Ride ‘Em
her steady as the leather tool was carefully removed. Once her hands and ankles were untied, she was lifted down from the faux horse. She settled easily into the man’s arms, hooking her lax limbs around his neck, her face resting against his cotton-covered muscular chest. The feeling of being held safely and securely allowed her mind to think not about what would happen next, but to merely float along wherever it would. There was no doubt in her mind this was the same man who’d whispered wonderfully in her ear. Soothed her tautly stretched nerves. He had a distinctive masculine scent surrounding him. The scents of equine and hay were expected in this part of the country, but there was a hint of sweat mixed in with a citrus-like aroma. She found it quite pleasing and despite her exhaustion, the smell made her body clench with need. Rubbing her cheek against a hard pec, she reached farther around his neck and buried her nose against his neck. Inhaling deeply, she thought about how much she enjoyed being held by this mystery man. After a long minute, he carried her a few paces before he sat down. Like her, it seemed he wasn’t ready to let her go, so he kept a hold of her in his lap. Another hand, reassuring in its familiarity, landed on her bare shoulder with a gentle squeeze before the owner asked if she was okay. “Yes, Ted, I’m perfect.” Dropping a gentle peck on the neck of man who held her, she felt a large, rough hand softly stroke her ass as she started to drift further away from reality. All sounds of the busy barn melted away as she curled her nude body around the strange man. His name was Court. She believed it was a name she knew but her passion-drunk state had no room for sensible thinking. Instead, she wallowed in the sense of security he offered. Her heated skin started to chill in the cool air of the barn and he pulled her closer. The dampness coating her thighs briefly drew her scattered

attention. It was something she gloried in experiencing, although at this moment she wished it were this man’s seed rather than hers. For the first time in her memory, she felt as close to being complete as she ever had before.

Chapter Two Sunny smiled while wiping the white Formica counter after two truckers left to finish their trips. Some of her best memories were in this place and the sleepy town of Gardiner, Montana. It offered a quiet, safe and simple life for those who lived here. She’d chosen and enjoyed it to the fullest. It was easy to keep busy and forget everything while in the midst of the peak times around the restaurant. Breakfast and lunch always kept her hopping. By ten thirty, she had some time before it all picked up again and she needed every second to try and find some harmony after last night. Her position sitting on a stool behind the register allowed her to keep an eye on the stragglers. She took a sip from her large glass of Coca-Cola, no ice. The soda was delicious, but she was focused on remembering details of the man who’d held her so carefully the night before. Did she know him? The name “Court” was familiar, but she couldn’t place it on anyone particular. Maybe he was one of many men who came to the restaurant on a regular basis. Sunny didn’t think so, although Ted knew him, seemed to know him well, so it was possible. On the way home, she’d tried to get some answers from him, but none was forthcoming. In fact, Ted had been extremely tight-lipped and would only say they’d discuss it later when she wasn’t drunk on lust. He was right, but she still wanted to know everything about her stranger. Taking another gulp of her soda, she remembered there’d been another terse exchange between the two men before she was transferred to her friend’s lap, but didn’t know what it had been about. Minutes later, her blindfold had been taken off and she’d instantly scanned the room for the mystery man. She knew most everyone there and no one appeared to have the powerful presence she’d felt in her mystery man.
21
Tilly Greene
Disappointed, she’d recklessly lit into her friend, looking for answers, only he’d remained silent. Shortly thereafter, Ted helped her dress and they left the party. Ted Wilson had been born in Gardiner, lived here until he’d joined the armed forces and would have stayed away, but his familial duty called him back to help his older brother Matt run the family’s ranch. Living in a small town, he and Sunny had become friends despite his being nearly ten years older than her. They both considered their relationship to be a special friendship—and one with benefits. Although they felt strongly about the other, even loved each other, it had never been a soul match for either one of them. However, there weren’t many options for sexual relief besides one’s hand in their section of the world. Eventually, by mutual decision, they’d altered their friendship to include sex. Later it led to Sunny’s introduction into the secret world of BDSM. Well, submission and domination, even bondage, she enjoyed, but not the sadomasochism or discipline as some practiced them. To her, those areas looked to offer more pain than pleasure, although she’d been assured by those who played in those areas that the satisfaction gained was very intense and rewarding. The bell tinkled over the front door, announcing a newcomer. Looking up with a smile on her face to greet the diners, she felt her mouth fall open with surprise. It was him, the man from last night. She knew the handsome, tall, well-built man standing before the checkout counter was the same one who’d gently held her passion-drained body so carefully. Looking behind him, she found Ted and steadily held his gaze, waiting for confirmation to her unspoken query. “Morning. Do you have a minute to sit with us?” Calmly, Ted spoke to her, waiting for an answer while his friend held his silence and never looked away from her. She wasn’t unnerved by his attention. Rather the intense pleasure she experienced left her heart feeling like it would burst from her chest with her next breath.

“Certainly, do you guys want coffee or something else?” Whenever she was nervous, she was unfailingly polite and under no circumstances would she fail to do a proper job. “Sure, black for me and you, Court?” “Black.” The deep voice resonated through her body. It sang along her nerve endings, sending goose pimples racing up her arms, down her legs and teasing her pussy with the memory of last night’s delights. “I’ll help you carry them.” Ted sent his friend a firm look before following her to the beverage setup area behind the counter. She couldn’t look away from Court. She sighed as she watched him take off his worn beige-felt cowboy hat, turn and move with a smooth stride to a booth against the back wall, away from the few remaining customers. Dusty, scuffed boots led up legs to an ass that only encouraged her need to eat him alive. The jeans weren’t tight, but they hugged him all the way up his powerful thighs to his taut backside, highlighted further by a missing pocket. His t-shirt appeared absentmindedly tucked in, showing off his slim waist and stretched over his strong, broad shoulders, showcasing perfectly muscled arms. She knew firsthand about his strength. The night before in his arms had been satisfying. It wasn’t his fault she was left wanting more from him. “I can do this. It’s been my job for years, remember?” Laughing softly at her friend’s odd attitude, she also acknowledged feeling somewhat nervous as well. “Court wants you and I need to know if you’re comfortable with that. Sorry to be blunt, but the timing demands it.” The abruptness and intensity of his statement left her hands unsteady with the mugs as they shook tellingly. Despite the show of nerves, an orb of light hidden down in the depths of her soul fluttered and made its presence known.

“Sure. I’m attracted to him. He’s definitely sexy and…” She couldn’t think beyond hearing the gorgeous cowboy from last night who’d held and been there for her wanted her as she did him. “No, you need to be positive, Sunny. I’ve suggested he spend some time getting to know you before any serious playing takes place, but he’s very eager. To be honest, I’m not entirely comfortable with the situation. He’s an old friend who’s had some serious trouble come his way and before you jump off into the deep end and trust him with your body or more, I think you should be made aware of all the baggage.” “I’m not exactly clean either, Ted. There’s trash in my backyard as well.” “Stop it, there’s nothing about you even remotely dirty. I hope you’ll try and slow this train down some.” Sunny looked up into his eyes and noted real concern filling them. She nodded at him before handing him two full cups of coffee to carry for her. This was someone she trusted implicitly. She needed to pay attention to that and not only to her screaming lust. On her way to the booth, she made sure her other customers all had what they needed before sitting down with the two men. She wasn’t a woman who made impulsive moves, but the fact that Ted voiced concerns had her slamming the brakes on her libido. Safe, sane and consensual were only possible with complete trust and one thing she knew for sure was that she fully trusted her friend. Once she reached the table, she sat next to Ted. This was an obvious choice—it wasn’t meant to be an insult to the gorgeous cowboy. It merely allowed her to see the other diners who might need something while she was taking a few minutes for herself. Noticing Ted’s head nod to the other man, she assumed the floor had been handed over to him. Looking up, she found herself falling headfirst into his beautiful brown eyes. A sexy dent in his chin led up to full lips that flirted with a little smile. If it went

full bloom, she knew it would lift his cheeks up and crinkle the corners of his eyes. The only thing keeping him from looking too boyish was his closely cropped brown hair. Oh boy, she was in some serious trouble here. There was something oddly familiar about him, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. She was too nervous and excited to think beyond the most basic information. “My name is Courtland Dickerson, but my friends call me Court, nice to meet…” There was no time to be turned on by his sexy voice or cute smile—he was famous— world-renowned type of fame and a former Gardiner resident. Now she knew who he was and why his name had been recognizable. He’d cut his hair and wasn’t dressed like he had been when in Hollywood, but it was obvious now that she’s seen his face and knew his name. Just to make sure, she looked over to Ted who nodded solemnly. Now she knew why he had concerns. This was an infamous bad boy making a play for her. If she wasn’t careful, in a twinkle he could own her body and soul and the next day she’d be nothing but a speed bump. The gossip columns had been full of details on his personal life. Supposedly, the story was he’d never wanted to be a movie star but fell into the career. His parents had divorced, leaving his mother to move her and her son to California. He’d been discovered in auspicious circumstances and quickly became the darling of the industry, eventually making a cool fifty million a role. Rumors said lack of a stable father figure and inappropriate friends had drawn him down into wild sexual escapades, drinking and drugs, the usual vices that easily plagued the lives of the young and famous. When he’d been arrested for a second time, the judge had offered him either prison or an opportunity that included rehab and probation. He’d accepted the latter and dropped out of the fame-go-round soon after his last film’s much publicized release. And yet, she wondered how much of what she’d read was true and how much pure fiction. Ted had spoken of him a few times when talking about his childhood, but she couldn’t remember him saying anything in years. Taking a deep cleansing breath, she 25

gave herself a firm chat. Start as you mean to go, Sunny. Let him know you’re an intelligent woman of substance who will not be swayed by a pretty face. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Dickerson. I’m Sunflower Forever Free.” “Mr. Dickerson was my father. Please call me Court.” Elbows on the table, he leaned forward, ensuring she felt and knew she was the center of his focus. “Okay, Court. Please call me Sunny,” she said graciously, but thought it was important to maintain eye contact. For an unknown reason, she felt the need to put herself on equal footing with him. She wasn’t an easy lay, no matter how handsome he was or how clearly he spoke to her passion. Her actions and words might all be formal, but she needed the structure of polite chitchat to calm down her racing nerves. This could be a man who was too much for her to handle. Ted had been right in telling her to take things slow, but dang, the cowboy was utter temptation. “You were gifted with quite a name, suits you. You are as beautiful and delicate as any flower.” “Oh dear, ummm, thank you.” She felt a blush rush up her cheeks but wasn’t sure if it was from his words or how his eyes were eating her up. He didn’t blink or look away from her. Instead, those brown eyes of his held her captive. “I’m planning on having a barbecue Sunday after next and would like it if you came.” In her position across from him, it was hard not to notice his incredible body. Muscles bulged beneath his t-shirt in a most delicious manner, even his nipples looked hard. With a private smile, she thought that, like her, this was due to his excitement. It was hard to hold back her mind from wandering toward other bulging things. Mentally, she gave herself a shake to focus on what he’d offered. “Well…” “The entire town will be invited, as are Ted and his brother, so there’ll be plenty of people you know.” His voice softened, offering her assurances much as he had last night. 26

“Really, no, it wasn’t…actually, I was thinking along those lines and I apologize. Yes, I’d very much like to attend. What can I bring?” “Just you.” She’d have thought she heard him incorrectly except for the fire in his eyes. No, she hadn’t made a mistake, he wanted her as much as she did him. “Fair enough, but if you need anything, let me know and I can get to work here in the kitchen.” “It’s been years since I was last here. How are Rosie and Jose?” Court still hadn’t looked away from her, nor did he drink his coffee. “Wonderful. Retired and spending time down in Texas with her sister before taking an extended cruise.” Small talk wasn’t what she’d been expecting, but she fell easily into the conversation. As time passed, she became more comfortable around him. In fact, she liked him. He seemed to be a man of strong character and she wondered exactly what had gone wrong for him out in California. The two men left a short time later. She couldn’t stop herself from snagging a peek out the window. Oh boy, he most definitely had fabulous bulging bits, specifically, a very large and hard swelling that protruded from beneath the front of his jeans. The man would have no difficulty in backing up what she saw promised in his gaze. She went back to work, daydreaming of the man who’d so easily wooed her body last evening and was now using his magic on her mind. Not that it mattered, but at least she now knew what he looked like. It put a face on the new star of her fantasies. She enjoyed every inch of skin available for her eyes to devour, each tight muscle, twinkle in his brown eyes and gentle smile. Sunny was in trouble, but was it the good or bad kind?

Chapter Three “Tell me about her, Ted. Obviously, she came to town after I left. No matter how young, I’d have remembered such pure sweetness and those blue eyes.” After they left Sunny and the restaurant, Ted drove the two men back toward his ranch. First thing this morning there’d been a pounding on his front door, waking him and his brother Matt. Court had headed over to the Big W cattle ranch, eager to talk about the evening before and the beautiful woman who was a natural submissive. Of course, his coming by was expected, but he would’ve preferred a little more sleep and the opportunity to talk to a clear-headed Sunny about the situation first. Right now he had the impression things were moving quickly out of his control and it didn’t sit well with him. A self-confessed control freak, Ted found the armed forces had best suited his regimented needs and reinforced the knowledge that planning was the key to success. However, it didn’t seem to fit within his new role as matchmaker between Doms and subs. “Sunflower Forever Free, Sunny, is quite a woman. We figure she was around fifteen when she landed here in Gardiner and heartbreaking is the only way to describe her. She’d been raised on one of those West Coast free-love commune type places. Things had started to change, enough that she was scared and didn’t like it. She walked away with a few clothes, some food and a little cash.” Once he finished giving the basics, Ted looked out of the corner of his eye at the other man. The old Court wouldn’t have judged anyone based on where they came from or what they had, he didn’t think this older and cleaned up version would either. But he had to be careful, there was no way he’d let anyone, even a friend, hurt Sunflower Forever Free. What he saw was a man stunned by what he heard and curious for more. He gave him his own personal thoughts about the woman.

“Polite, confident and always unfailingly honest, Sunny is a real gem. At one point I thought I could marry her, but it was never going to happen. Neither one of us sees the other in that way. We became friends, hooked up a few times and from there I discovered her true nature and introduced her to the group. She’s enjoyed herself ever since. There have been a few men she’s dated, but none lasted very long. Shame, really, because I think she’d be happiest behind a white picket fence, flowered kitchen curtains and a pie cooling on the sill. And naked as a jaybird, of course.” Both men laughed at the last statement. That was the dream of every teenage boy, to grow up and have a naked woman always at the ready with food or sex, or both together. Sitting next to Court, he became aware of the wheels churning in his friend’s head. Thinking, planning, reorganizing, working hard to try and make whatever he was looking to accomplish come to fruition in the end. “What are you thinking?” When he couldn’t wait any longer, Ted queried the silent man sitting across the cab from him. “Simple things really. Well, basically, and I don’t know why, but I think there’s going to be something between Sunny and myself that’s more than sex and games. I admit, physically and sexually, she’s perfect for me. When we sat there this morning and talked with her, there was something more going on than me wanting to dominate and fuck her. You have to understand, all of this is an entirely new experience for me, wanting a woman so intensely. What she makes me feel is so big, it scares the shit out of me. I’ve haven’t had this type of, you know, let’s just say I need to be careful, for both our sakes.” Ted was quiet for a few minutes before he looked over at his friend. This was momentous and he couldn’t let it pass by with nothing said. “I’m proud of you, man. You’ve come a seriously long way since your last arrest. It takes a hell of a lot of guts to admit when something scares the shit out of you. Anyway, nothing wrong with a little fear on the female front—keeps you on your toes where they’re concerned.”

“For all the money it cost me, there were a few things I learned in that fancy rehab place besides what hell looks like and the twelve steps to stay out of it.” “Glad you came back here, Court, really. Over the years, people change, places change, but Gardiner was never the same after you left. And then, whenever we spoke with you, it was a like a switch had been flicked. Shit, suddenly you weren’t the same guy anymore. But now I think you’ve finally settled up with your demons and put them to rest.” “Had to, or I’d be dead and I have plans for my life.”
As the big pickup truck bumped along the dusty track, both men’s thoughts turned back to the local restaurant they’d just visited and the woman left behind. They turned off the highway, driving through the tall gate carrying the Big W sign. It had been almost three years since Court’d left the center that had helped clean him up. The more time he had away from his past and the problems that came with it, the more confident he felt in his abilities to lead a normal life, free of substance abuse. He wanted his business to succeed and a woman at his side, to love and share each day with. His imagination even ran toward having his own family. The thought of a wife and child or children was a huge step for him to make, having come from such a screwed-up background himself. But, with the right person, he wanted it all. His parents divorced, but not before life had become really ugly for everyone. When he was a young teen and the papers were signed, his mother had packed him up and they moved to Hollywood. She’d been so sure he could be famous. He had to hand it to her—she’d pushed and pushed until he’d done just that and far surpassed whatever she’d dreamed possible. Somewhere along the way, he’d hidden his anger over losing both his father and childhood in one swoop by becoming immersed in the party scene. Without any serious parental control, it wasn’t a big surprise when he’d spiraled out of control.

Having finally found solid footing back in his childhood hometown, he was ready to do what he wanted with his life. What was it about this scrap of a woman that called to him? It wasn’t merely beauty or sexual compatibility, as those were both qualities readily available. No, there was something more there and he wanted the time to explore it further. “A date.” “What?” “A date. I’m going to ask Sunny out on a date before the barbecue. That would be the perfect way for us to get to know each other on a more personal level.” “Give her time, Court.” “Not a romp in the sack, Ted, but a date. You know the drill. We’ll go into Bozeman have some dinner, do a little dancing, kiss her on the cheek at her front door kind of thing, no more.” “Oh, yeah, sure, sounds good.” “Ted, are you okay with all this? Am I pushing in on something here?” “No, no, everything’s all right. It just feels a little weird. I love her, a lot, although I don’t see there is a forever after kind of thing for us. You know, I’m not in love with her, but she definitely holds a place in my heart. You know what I mean? Shit, man, am I making any sense?” “Yeah, I get you.” The truck stopped in front of the barn and the two men stepped out in a cloud of dust. The day was already starting to heat up. Walking into the dark structure, the air was filled with smells and sounds that filled him with a sense of being home. Neighing horses were in stalls on either side while they made their way down the center walkway, going back to the office where Ted’s older brother was holed up. The three men had been childhood friends, always getting into some scrape or other. After Court had moved to California, they’d occasionally been in contact, an odd letter here and

there, later by phone, then, as Court spiraled out of control, the communications stopped entirely. He knew Ted, Matt and their parents had all worried about the destructive path he’d stumbled upon. Mrs. Wilson had once said she feared he’d lose himself to the depravity often associated with Hollywood. How right she’d been and he would be forever sorry he hadn’t made it to her or her husband’s funeral. They entered the office and found Matt, the oldest of the three of them, sitting behind their father’s old desk. Ted had told Court earlier that for the last few weeks, Matt had been on an extended trip to sell their cattle, so they all hadn’t had a chance to meet and catch up until now. “Hey, Court.” Matt stood and reached across the table to shake hands. “Matt.” “Sorry I haven’t been around to welcome you back properly. Been in and out of Japan for a while, but for the moment I’m home.” Matt sat back down and stretched his feet up onto the desk, looking laid back and relaxed, comfortable with where he was. “Are finding a good market over there for your stock?” Court leaned against the wall, eager for the chance to catch up with his friend. “Actually, I have. At first it was surprising experiencing a culture so different from what I knew. The language is the least of my worries. The business realm has its own rules to follow and one mistake could have me out before we even get started. I found a few solid contacts and already have some buyers, so I’m feeling good about it.” “Excellent. I heard down at the tack shop how well the Big W is doing in discovering new markets. Congrats.” Court meant it. He knew the ranch had been run into the ground after the boys had scattered, leaving their father and mother behind. The brothers had both found their own paths elsewhere and hadn’t bothered much with the ranch until their mother had passed away. Matt returned first to help his father out, only there wasn’t much energy left in the older man once his wife had died and he’d followed her shortly after. 32

“Yeah, he made some great connections at last year’s auction so this year buyers had a point of reference to check out. You know the drill, confirm the quality of our product and business reputation and all. His moves are making this year more profitable for us than the last.” It was obvious by how he spoke about Matt that Ted greatly respected his older brother. Even when they were kids Ted had looked up to his brother. Their parents had often laughed about how different the two boys were, one a big thinker and the other an organizer. Court smiled to himself. They’d be so pleased to see how, together, they were making a serious go of the Big W. “How are you doing with the set up over at the Lucky Double D?” Matt asked before taking a sip from his mug. “Slow, but that’s all right. It takes time to do things correctly.” Between the three men, Matt had the best mind for business. Court had no problem coming to him for input and guidance when needed. “What type of timeline are you looking at?” “All professional staff on site and working within the next three months.” Court was excited about the building of his dream. He wanted it to be the place people went to for quality horseflesh. “Appears decent, not too tight. Now, how was last night? You certainly banged on our front door early enough for me to be curious.” “Court met Sunny and has fallen hard for her,” Ted said with a grin on his face. Straightening up, Court gave no other hints of how he felt about his love life being the topic of discussion. Arms crossed over his chest, his body language clearly said guarded, proceed with caution. He knew it and didn’t care. Suddenly, the silence became thicker and testosterone levels grew. “Am I stepping on your toes, Matt?” Shit! How many men had this tiny slip of a woman captured?
33

“Nope, but I’m telling you, don’t mess with her mind. She’s had enough shit in her young life and doesn’t deserve any more.” Matt had a look on his face that said he was ready to protect the little lady with his body if necessary. “You love her too?” Court started to feel defensive and was ready for whatever was thrown at him as he went after claiming Sunny as his. If need be, he’d take on all comers for the right to call her his. “Yup, love the little chicky. Being next to her makes my dick seriously hard.” Matt was normally the quiet one of the three, but he was also a member of the barn club. “Have to be honest here, guys. I’m feeling this is important, not a game.” Court put it as plainly as he could. “Sure thing, I’m stepping back unless you hurt her or invite us in. You know, I’m always open to playing with others.” Matt’s blunt approach to sex didn’t surprise Court. However, the sincerity lacing Matt’s words gave him pause. Getting together with Sunny could be the best thing to ever happen to him or his downfall. He needed to be very careful, for himself and Sunny both. “Now, let’s get back to business and start talking about what staff you’ve hired, the horses you’re set to start breeding and how many you think the Big W will need to run the herd if we up our operation this coming year by two thousand head.” After the three men had talked business and ironed out the details for the barbecue, Court started to head home. Before he made it to the highway to turn toward the Lucky Double D, he changed his mind and instead made his way back into town. He pulled into a spot in the restaurant’s parking lot and sat looking at the front of the building, thinking about what he was going to say. Once he acknowledged the nerves fluttering through his midsection were there because this was important to him, it became easier to move forward. Going inside, he found Sunny where she’d been earlier, standing behind the register with a big glass full
34
Ride ‘Em
of soda beside her, cashing out a customer. After the family moved on, Court stepped forward, saying the first thing that came to his mind. “Hey, Sunny, you always drink Coke?” Maybe he’d once been famous, but standing before this beautiful woman, he felt as sure as a thirteen-year-old boy. “Hello, Court. Yup, I’m never far from my Coke with no ice,” she offered, smiling sweetly back at him. “Your sweet tooth must keep you up at night.” “Nope, and no cavities, I just adore the stuff. My first day here, Rosie poured me one and I haven’t stopped since.” “Well, I came back to see if you’d like to go out sometime this week. You know, take the opportunity to get to know each other without the crowd who will surely be at the barbecue.” “A date?” She sounded surprised. Was that a good thing? Thank goodness he had a plan—all he had to do was stick to it and everything would work out. “Yes, a date. I thought we could go over to Bozeman for dinner and a little dancing.” “Sounds wonderful, I work most nights next door at the bar, but am off on Monday and Tuesday.” “That’s fine, how about Tuesday?” His confidence took a huge boost—he hadn’t been fooling himself. She was attracted to him. “Perfect.” “Where should I pick you up?” “I live in one of the cabins on the river. Do you know where they are?” “The two buildings behind here?” “Yes, I’m in number one. The one to the far right facing the river.” “Okay, see you on Tuesday at six.”

“Great, I look forward to it.” There was a long silence as they gazed into each other’s eyes. It looked like she didn’t want to look away anymore than he did. A shout from the kitchen area put an end to their awkward moment. “Oh, right, I’d better let you get back to work. Um, bye.” He shook his head and gave a self-deprecating smile over his juvenile behavior. “Bye.” Once he was back in his truck, Court released the breath he’d been holding. Excellent, a date where he could spend some time alone with her was what he needed. Any progress being made toward bringing her to his side was sure to put his mind and libido back on the same steady track. For a moment, his vision glazed over as he remembered how she’d looked riding the large leather horse and its specially equipped saddle. He’d be happy to have that particular image stick with him forever. As he put his truck in gear and started to leave the parking lot, he thought about how he’d be even more thrilled when he controlled her passion and could experience that ecstasy whenever he desired.

Chapter Four Sunny suffered some serious indecision on what to wear. Should she go sexy and seductive or fashionable and flirtatious? After trying on a multitude of outfits, she finally decided on going simple with a little something that reflected her personality. A china-blue slip dress, white short-sleeved angora shrug with a crystal button to hold it closed, earring studs and a bracelet to match were what she finally settled on. Her shoes were ballet flats with a subtle crystal motif circling the rim. She went even further than normal by using hair products, making her short blonde hair look tousled and mussed, subtly sexy and a hint of makeup. Sunny was ready to greet her date. The knock on the door to her cottage broke through her nervous twittering. Pushing everything but Court from her mind, she told herself she looked good and walked over to start the evening. She felt overjoyed when she saw his mouth start to drop open before he caught himself. Apparently she’d made the right choice. He reached for her hand and laid a soft kiss on her cheek. She could feel her blush rising. “Wow!” “Thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment.” “Not a very well put one, but one all the same. You look incredible, Sunny. Not that you haven’t appeared as anything but stunning each time I’ve seen you. But tonight you look, well, wow!” Giggling like a young girl, she reached over for her little clutch purse and again offered her appreciation for his enthusiasm. “By the way, you look very handsome yourself.” And he did. Curiosity had her leaping online over the weekend to see pictures of him in his full Hollywood glamour. The man standing before her was relaxed and seemed to be much more at ease and real 37

than the one in the photos. He’d looked stunning in suits and there was always a bevy of young starlets dangling from his arms. But there’d been something missing from his eyes and he rarely looked comfortable being the focus of attention. Maybe it was having the comfort of the cowboy hat. Possibly it was because his clothes weren’t as fancy and fussy. The details didn’t matter. Tonight he looked comfortable and like the basic clean-cut boy next door. Sunny believed she was seeing the real man and one who had accepted himself, flaws and all. “Why, thank you, ma’am.” Again, her laughter and happiness couldn’t be held in. The evening progressed with much the same ease between them. They made the short drive to the nearest large town, Bozeman, talking as if they’d known each other for years. Any nervousness she might have had earlier was gone by the time they arrived in town. The steakhouse they went to was a hot spot with a dance club upstairs, but it also offered diners quiet booths on the ground floor. They sat and talked quietly between themselves, getting to know each other on a new level. At first the many eyes glued to them and whispering behind hands were uncomfortable. Once she followed his example of ignoring it and soon there was no one in the restaurant but them. When the conversation turned serious, it felt right for her to open herself up to this man and tell him how she came to be in Gardiner. “It took real courage to leave everything you knew and set out on your own.” Court’s praise made her blush. “I didn’t really think about it. All I knew was that I was afraid and didn’t want to live that way.” “What was it that scared you?” She finished chewing her bite and thought about her life back on The Mount and what it was that had brought fear into her life.

“There were a few things, but I guess the big one was a few incidents with boys and men that made me think they wouldn’t wait for me to have my initiation.” “Initiation? What was that for?” “At The Mount, sex was open and free. From a young age we were shown there was no shame in our bodies. The elders said being naked was freeing and would bring us closer to leading a pure life and help pave the way back to the source of enlightenment. Leaders reinforced this by expressing to all of us how our bodies were meant for pleasure, for anyone and everyone to enjoy.” “But you were a child.” “Yes, even though we were never wore clothes, there were rules attached to the free sex. It had to be consensual and between the initiated. I was excited to have my ceremony to start the next level of my life. With it I could physically be with other people and this would help me live an honest and wholesome existence. Sharing myself and my love meant I’d be able to return after death.” “I see. So, you were too young to have been initiated, but this didn’t stop everyone. There were some people who didn’t care about getting your permission or allowing you the chance to live the life you were being taught to live.” Nodding her head was all she could manage. She sensed an angry tone to his voice. This man had no problem showing his emotions and she felt pleased to have him feel so strong about something to do with her. “How do you feel about The Mount now?” “I don’t allow it to have a place in me. The Martinezes were wonderful. They showed me a normal example to follow.” “With such an incredible start, what do you want from life today, Sunny?” “Nothing different from anyone else. People to love and love me, and to feel safe and happy wherever I am.” Looking up into his face, she felt her heart open to him. “So have you ever had a life-changing moment?”
39

For her, leaving The Mount was something that altered the course of her life. Sunny believed many people experienced an event in their lives that changed its course, be it good or bad. She was thankful for the new direction and wondered if he was as well. “Actually I have. When I was arrested for possession of drugs and drunk driving for a second time in a year. I stood before the judge, surly and full of myself, and he gave me an ultimatum, jail or rehab. At any other moment, I’m sure I would’ve given him attitude and gone the incarceration route. Instead, I went the other way and have never looked back.” “I think that took courage to do.” The food was good, but she was more interested in him and what he had to say. With each new thing she learned about him, she felt her respect for him grow. “We all have garbage to deal with. If we ignore it, it just gets worse.” “You had to turn your life completely around, couldn’t have been easy.” “No, but sitting here, I have to say it was worth it.” He said this without a smile and she thought there was a note of serious inflection lacing his words. Blushing, Sunny wondered if he realized how much she liked hearing him say that. He may have meant it in a broad sense, but she took it personally. With a smile she gave him back the question he asked her. “So, Court, after making these changes, what do you want from life?” “Easy, a simple and uncomplicated life. Making a viable go of my horse-breeding business, good health, love and happiness.” “I like that, simple and uncomplicated.” She really did. “You could say we’ve had enough drama to appreciate it that way.” “Absolutely.” He really was an incredible man. The way his brown eyes looked at her said there was more to him than his good looks, and she was encouraged to delve further. She kept it light and easy—there was plenty of time to learn more. Once they finished dinner they moved upstairs to the club.

The dancing was more anonymous than dinner had been because of the low lighting. Court was a natural dancer, where she struggled to find the rhythm. They laughed easily over her lack of dancing skills. Thankfully the club’s DJ played music she knew. She sang along and boogied as best she could, enjoying her time on the dance floor with the big handsome cowboy. But everything changed when a ballad slipped out of the speakers. Court pulled her close and she was lost. Sunny placed the side of her face on his chest and stretched her arms up, wrapping them around his neck. No longer hearing the music, she was tuned in to his heartbeat, steady, strong and seductive. Her fingers moved in to play with his soft short hair. Eventually, she pressed her body even closer against his, absorbing his power. They shuffled and swayed. Little time passed before he had his leg nudging between hers and she felt the heat of him surrounding her. Satisfaction would be hers when this man possessed her body. Deep in her soul, the orb of light that carefully held her most protected emotions flickered, warming and comforting her with the acceptance that this man was the one for her. A satisfied smile tickled across her face when his hands spread out over her back and started to inch lower until the fingertips danced across the top of her ass. Slowly they smoothed down farther until each hand grasped a cheek. She moaned with pleasure and rubbed her pussy over the leg that slid between hers. “Oh, shit.” She heard him whisper, then felt his hands clench tightly, gripping only her dress, and rubbing the fists over her ass. At the end of the song, he circled his arms around her waist and lifted her off her feet until they were face to face. “Hi.” Although the curse confused her, she felt both pleased and lost in all he made her feel. She looked into his brown eyes and was ready for whatever he offered.

“You’re so very tempting.” Court whispered this to her, while keeping his gaze locked on hers. What he was feeling was there for her to see. He wanted her and this made his confession even more enticing. “In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not saying no.” That was one word she couldn’t ever see using with him. He groaned and moved his head beside hers, nibbling her earlobe, causing goose flesh to spread uncontrollably across her body. “An angel is what you are, but I don’t want to take a chance and ruin what’s just starting to grow between us by being greedy and foolish.” What he said brought up many questions, but the next song started and at his urging they kept dancing. Later, on the way back to Gardiner, the mood in the truck was quiet, the silence comfortable but fraught with the need for sex and fulfillment. She slid into the center of the bench seat and smiled when his arm stretched along behind her back, then pulling her into his heat. When they arrived at her place, Court came around and helped her from the truck. He walked her to the door, kissed her sweetly on the lips before putting his fisted hands in his pockets and stepping back from her. The internal struggle he was experiencing was written all over him. The tension supporting his body diminished slightly once he asked if she’d go out with him again. “I enjoyed myself tonight. Yes, I’d very much like to go out with you again.” “So did I, enjoy myself that is. This is difficult, Sunny, please go inside and sleep well.” After a moment’s pause, she offered, “You can come in if you’d like, for a cup of coffee or something.” “No, no I can’t. I promised this was a date in the traditional sense of the word and that’s what it’s going to be. Now please close the door and dream of me.”

“Promised who?” She was immediately suspicious. Was Ted or Matt dictating how she interacted with this man? “Myself, now please…” “Oh, okay. Good night, Court.” “Sweet dreams, Sunny.” She closed the door quietly and leaned back against it, waiting until she heard the truck start up and pull away. It had been as traditional a date as one could arrange and it had worked on her perfectly. She had a good idea about who he was. He’d given her the impression he thought she was special. And when he’d walked her to her front door and kissed her, she’d felt cherished. The evening had been everything and more than she’d expected. Yes, this was someone she could very easily fall completely head over heels for and not have a single regret. No, time wouldn’t diminish her desire for him.

Chapter Five
After two months of bliss… In the quiet stillness found on the Lucky Double D, out in the grand openness of Montana, Court had a barbeque welcoming all his new employees and their families. Having finished the cleanup, he and Sunny sat in the backyard beneath the stars and enjoyed the light breeze that had kicked up. Her hands were folded and resting in her lap when he leaned over, took hold of one and brought it up to his lips, dropping a soft kiss on the fingers. “Would you like to see the house?” “I’d love to.” She’d seen most of his home, but this query somehow made it seem different. Her belly fluttered with excitement. They were going to make love tonight. She was eager for this, to feel his possession. The anticipation of their having sex had kept her on edge and yet also made this first time special for having waited. On her part it hadn’t been easy, she’d been ready for this moment back when he stroked a hand over her thigh while she’d been secured to the faux horse. Sunny knew she’d laugh later. It wasn’t much of a tour, more like a direct path straight to the one room she hadn’t seen, his bedroom. She stood in the doorway, her gaze drawn to the most prominent piece of furniture in the room. A large four-poster bed, made of a dark, sumptuous wood. It wasn’t elegantly carved, but was large and rough-hewn, as if pulled from the earth and left as it came. The bed was covered in an array of deep neutral colors and used a variety of fabrics like suede, shearling and velvets. Stepping closer to his side, she reached out for his hand and twined her fingers within his. She was struck by how much his bed in particular reflected the man he was, the one who enjoyed allowing his sensual self a place to play.
44

Although she was tempted to get naked, lie across his bed and beg for his attention, she didn’t because she wanted him to lead her there. Gazing around the room, she saw there was a large fireplace on the wall opposite the bed and to the right was a set of glass-paned doors leading outside. “I bet you have a fabulous view from up here.” She looked at him and was pleased to find he’d been watching her. Maybe he saw how badly she wanted him and would take her now. “Go on, take a look. It’s incredible—you feel like there’s nothing between you and the endless sky above.” Walking over to the door, she opened it and looked outside. Off to one side was a hot tub, steam rising along with the bubbles. At some point he’d obviously come up here and turned it on. Sunny couldn’t deny the lure it presented. With a wicked smile and giggle, she didn’t delay in stripping down to her bra and panties. Sunny turned around to face him, excited to move into this new part of their relationship. What had been a saucy grin quickly changed to one of surprise when she found him in the process of peeling down his jeans. He’d gone commando! She loved it when a man wore a pair of crisp, white, snug briefs, but his having gone naked took her breath away. It said to her that when he dressed, he was thinking of this moment. She closed her eyes, pretending to be offended, but she truly wasn’t. Then, with seriousness and purpose consuming her, she quietly stripped her lingerie off before stepping into the burbling water. Standing in the middle of the tub, Sunny turned back and finally looked her fill. The man was huge—all over! They’d had some hot and heavy moments before this evening, where she’d felt him pressed against her, even held his cock in her hand. From those seductive hints she’d known he was big, but to have him calmly standing before her, in the flesh, showed he was even more than she’d thought. Seeing him, all of him at once, left her feeling awed and frankly hornier than she’d ever been before.

Of course he was powerfully built and tanned. It also seemed as if he spent plenty of time in the sun without any clothes on because she saw no tan lines. His chest and how it was completely bare of hair were intriguing. Her fingers twitched with a want to touch and experience what he felt like. Her eyes trailed down his muscled abs, over his trim sexy waist, to his bellybutton where a line of life started. The golden hair appeared soft, and again she was tempted to run her finger down the path to where it surrounded his hard cock. Actually, she wanted to kneel before him and suckle the mighty tool until he fed his cum to her. He calmly stood there and showed no problem with her focused perusal of his body. Of course, his confidence was justified. The man was stunning. From the moment he stepped into the bubbling water, she knew their relationship had become something much more personal. Leaning back against the wall of the tub, he reached out and welcomed her into his embrace. Not that she was resisting. No, this was exactly what she wanted. Then, between probing kisses, he whispered how he felt about her and the words were everything she wanted to hear. “You’re so beautiful.” He nibbled on her lower lip, grasping it between his teeth and tugging gently. “So very soft.” Big hands held her on his lap, the fingers tightened as if fighting a need to squeeze so hard it could hurt her. This wavering control turned her on further. “Court?” She put her arms around his neck, and leaned in closer, teasing him by moving with the flow of the water. “Yes, my precious Sunflower Forever Free,” he whispered the words against her lips. “Am I yours?” The way he said her full name brought a hitch to her breath. Looking into his soft brown eyes, she had a second of doubt for what had slipped out.

Maybe she shouldn’t have asked, but she’d wanted to hear him say the words she knew he was feeling in his heart. “Yes, forever mine, to hold, to love and cherish, to protect and provide for. I want it all, everything. Yes, you’re mine.” “Oh my.” The way he held her, carefully and yet possessively, was exactly what she wanted to feel. He turned serious and continued with his declaration. Although it was obvious he hadn’t been expecting the words to burst out of him like they had. Apparently his discomfort didn’t matter now when he seemed to understand it was necessary for her to hear them. “Sunny, there are things you need to know about me.” “We have time.” “You’re right, but before we take this next step, I need you to know that your heart means the world to me. If ever I do something that hurts you, you must tell me because I don’t ever want to cause you a moment of pain.” “Court, don’t worry, I won’t break.” “I know. You have no idea how much I respect you. Since the night I first saw you, I’ve been aware of how very capable you are of taking care of yourself. The thing is, I want to do that for you, but I may mess up.” “Thankfully neither one of us is perfect—how boring would that be. Besides, I think we can handle any mistakes together.” “But I have to tell you one more thing before we move forward.” “Okay, Court, I’ll listen.” “It’s just I wanted you to know, when I was in rehab, I took a test and…shit, despite everything I did before, I don’t have any STDs.” “Okay.” “It’s important you know I’ll be responsible and all, I have—” 47

“I’ve been tested. You know the rules, have to be for the parties, and I’m clean as well. I’m also on the Pill and so, if it’s all right with you, I’d prefer you to come in me and not a piece of latex.” She hadn’t been worried about the silence that met her claim. She’d been honest in telling him she wanted nothing to come between them when they made love. “I love you.” The words he gave her hadn’t been whispered or hidden behind closed eyes. He told her directly, while looking right at her. And the flickering light in her inner soul roared to life, burning brightly, clearly showing her how deeply the ties to this man already went. Courtland Dickerson was her soul mate and lover for all time. “And I love you.” Closing the small distance between them, she laid her lips against his and opened herself to him. At first, he seemed surprised at her taking the initiative, as she’d never kissed him first. It didn’t take long for him to relax and allow her love and happiness to seep into him. In return, his tongue slid in between hers and staked a claim. He was letting her know there was no way he’d ever let her go. Good, she didn’t want him to ever release her. While sitting on his lap, Sunny could feel his cock was hard and throbbing. She had not doubts he was as desperate to bury himself inside her, as she was to have him do it. She wanted them to seal their words, their promises, in this time-honored way with their bodies. Thankfully, he was of the same mind and without any further delay, set about readying her body for his first possession. Her stomach dropped and rolled when his big hands held on to her hips and flexed. He coaxed her to move until, with his guidance, she straddled him. The water helped shift her forward, at the same time the motion caused his hard-on to knock against her pussy. She groaned with pleasure at feeling him against her bare body and felt him smile against her lips. They were finally where they’d wanted to be since that first night they’d met in the barn, on their own road to paradise. 48

While she’d been lost in the feelings reverberating throughout her body, he shifted one of his big hands to take hold of her ass. With a squeezing grip, he slowly eased her forward until her slit nudged his cock again. He held her steady while a finger on his other hand started to tickle her clit before slipping into her pussy and swirling around. Without hesitation, she moved back from their kiss and looked at him, ready to plead her case for him to take her quickly until she came screaming her satisfaction. Without any further delay, she wanted him to thrust his rod inside her and finally gratify her desperate sexual hunger. But he easily diverted her attention yet again. “What a luscious pussy you have, Sunny.” Instead, he had a plan and it felt like he wouldn’t be diverted from it. He pushed another finger in and scrubbed his thumb over her hard nub, drawing another groan out from between her lips. Slowly he pulled out the two fingers and then they returned, sliding along her walls. “Oh yes, baby, moan so the world can hear your pleasure.” “More, Court, please give me more.” Two fingers became three, but even that wasn’t enough for her or apparently for Court either. He turned them around until he stood and with a hand on her back, helped hold her afloat while he thrust his fingers in and out of her eager clasp. In the bright moonlight, she knew he could see how tight her nipples were, pointing up to the stars above. He leaned down, grasped one tempting tip between his teeth and pulled on it gently. She gasped loudly with intense pleasure slipping through her body. “Here you go.” Fingers plunged in deep, then spread out, opening her further. Their sensual dance kept them circling around the Jacuzzi. “Come for me, let me feel you come on my fingers.” She was focused on him, watching his eyes dart between her face and pussy. With each glance, she felt her muscles clamp tighter over his fingers. Her slit worked to keep his digits deep inside her—even her body didn’t want to let them ever leave again. But

the feminine grip wasn’t enough to hold them captive. He pulled them free only to stuff them back inside her until she splintered on a scream. “Court!” He held his fingers still, buried in the depths of her pussy as she squeezed them again and again. The feminine muscles tried to pull him in deeper and he pushed for that little bit more. “You’re so fucking incredible when you come.” “Oh God.” Whether the need was Sunny’s or his didn’t matter. Court pulled her into his arms and held her close, gentling her much as he had while she’d been on the faux horse. After a few minutes, he carried her into the bedroom, dripping wet, and laid her on the soft rug before a roaring fire. Kneeling between her spread legs, as slowly and thoroughly as he could manage, he took her body. Starting out nice and easy, he slid his raging hard-on in and out of her moist, still shaking depths. He added more length with each stroke, obviously waiting until he was sure she felt no discomfort with his size. Over and over he packed more of his cock inside her until he filled her pussy. He worked hard to keep his thrusts moving at a steady pace when really he wanted to pound away until they both climaxed. To experience with her the power and euphoria that came with an orgasm all the sooner. “Faster, please, faster and harder.” “Shhh, I don’t want to hurt you.” “No, no, you’re not. Please, I want, need…” He got off watching how his easy fucking seemed to rob her of the ability to think straight. Wanting to surprise her, help send her over the edge, he changed the pace a bit and plunged into her slit, fast and hard. Her answering groan encouraged Court to keep the new pace.

He gave neither one of them any mercy and they both received an immeasurable amount of pleasure. When he felt her pussy tighten even further, he thought she must be close to coming again. And, with one last hard push, she did. It was going to be intense and he wanted to join her, only not yet. Moving up onto an elbow to brace his weight, Court reached down and carefully bent her leg so the knee touched the floor. His gaze slid over to where their bodies were joined. The new position managed to spread her lower lips wider, exposing her clit to his body’s movements. If he worked it right, each time he thrust inside her, his groin would scrub over the hard nub, sending her straight back to resting at climax’s peak. That was what he wanted, to keep her coming and screaming. One, two, three thrusts and once again he sent her right back into an orgasm. Only, as before, he didn’t stop. Instead he kept pounding away at her body and mind, harder than he had before. “I wish you could see us, Sunny, we look so fucking perfect together.” While he spoke to keep his orgasm at bay, he never looked away from where his cock was thrusting in and out of her pussy. The sight they made together was erotic and entrancing. Despite wanting to look into her face, he couldn’t look away. Instead, he told her about what he was seeing. “My cock shines with your honey, delicious.” Again and again he moved, easily fucking his mass through her moist pussy. The power behind each thrust caused his balls to bounce against her ass on the end of each stroke. “Ahhh! Court!” At times, he grunted with effort, but somehow he was able to maintain his ongoing praise and it seemed as if she got off on it. He liked every part of fucking. It felt right to bring all the senses into play and talking about what they were doing was enticing. “Shhh, listen to us, can you hear how we fuck?”

Their bodies slapped against each other and the liquidity of her pussy as he stuffed it full of his cock, punctuated by their grunts, was a spectacular sound because it was them together. In the end, finding his orgasm proved to be relatively simple. She moved her other leg up to wrap high around his waist, changing the angle he entered her. Wanting to keep her well within orgasm’s hold was suddenly pushed to the side and her movement sent him chasing his own climax. He shifted to his knees and started seriously shafting her, faster and deeper than before. “Oh shit, Sunny! Shit!” It felt like his dick grew impossibly larger, harder, and was busy shaping a new path through her pussy. Like a sledgehammer, he’d worked her over, in and out, then the climax hit him hard. He felt his cum race from its warm home in his balls and blast deep inside her slit. His rod kept pulsing and with each thrust he shot more seed into her welcoming depths. Oh, how she screamed his name as she came. He was thrilled to feel like he was the master of her body. Court loved how her pussy kept working, squeezing tightly around his pulsating cock, trying to keep him locked deep inside her body. He collapsed over her and she wrapped her arms as far around him as they could reach. Sighing with pleasure, he thought about how he wasn’t going anywhere that took him far from this woman.
***** Courtland Dickerson was her first true love and she was as excited today about him as she’d been when he’d smoothed his hand over her heated body as it lay across that faux horse. Yes, life had definitely changed and her dreams of being loved and loving another grew daily. 52

Sitting at her kitchen table, watching the river, Sunny smiled as she sipped her steaming mug of tea and thought about her lover, her man. There were no secrets between them. They’d both spoken freely about their pasts and what they’d learned from the mistakes and tragedies they’d experienced. She still felt upset for him when he opened up about how he felt about losing his teen years to work, supporting his mother and her dream for his success. When he explained how he’d expressed his bitterness over the unhappiness of his life through excessive behavior that could have destroyed him, she wished she’d been there at his side. Sunny couldn’t help but feel proud of him and his strength when he explained how he had accepted the challenge to make a major change in his life and took the offer to enter rehab rather than jail. Sunny knew he believed the judge had saved him. However it happened, she would always be thankful he’d made it back to Gardiner. If he hadn’t, she may never have met him, felt like a woman who was wanted for who she was, or experienced the wonder of unconditional love. Oh, she was loved—she knew that, but this was different. What she felt with Court was more. The emotions he created filled her up, embraced her mind, body and soul as one. She felt a blush race across her face and took another sip of tea to try and calm herself. It was a little embarrassing how the entire town was a part of their romance. While she was at the restaurant, staff and regulars mercilessly teased her every morning, just minutes before Court would walk inside. He was there for breakfast with Ted and Matt and again for lunch with a few of his employees. Rather quickly he became a regular and she was thrilled to have him there. Then there were the visits to the bar each night she worked. Those tended to be at the end of the evening before closing time. The crowd was more raucous and he’d told her he wanted to make sure she made her way home safely. He’d sit at the end of the bar, ready to claim the right to stand before her, protect her if the call came. It never did. This macho side of him called out to her female soul and left her body to prepare itself for him and his sensual possession.

Court was a passionate lover who ensured she received as much pleasure as he did. How could she not be satisfied? The man was well hung and knew how to use every inch. He had the hardest body, which she simply worshipped in and out of clothes. At the same time, he seemed to care about her needs and enjoy watching her come apart at the seams. He was her lover, the other half of her soul, so why had he kept their sex vanilla?

Chapter Six Court scrubbed his scalp and short hair, working the shampoo in, then stepped beneath the spray and washed it all off. It was time to stop procrastinating, step forward and take Sunny like he really wanted to. The delicate blonde with big blue eyes was his life and he needed them to move forward together. Shit, he was sure she did as well. They’d both been feeling the tension, waiting to take the next step, but he hadn’t felt ready until now. In the end, he’d been surprised when she made the move and handed him her sub’s checklist. An innocuous piece of white paper formally stating things she was willing and unwilling to experience. He’d looked at it, thanked her, then folded it and put it in his pocket. Nothing written on it had been a surprise to him, but handing it over had been a clear statement that she was ready to step into the proverbial dungeon with him and get serious. Over the past few months, they’d played a little and fucked even more. Oh yeah, they both enjoyed going at it like wild animals. With one hand planted on the shower wall, he moved the other down to take hold of his hard cock. She did this to him. Merely picturing her in his mind, speaking with her over the phone and he was primed. His hand slid easily over the hard flesh, squeezing it as he stroked up and down, encouraging him to close his eyes and think about his woman and what she wanted. There were so many things she’d listed as yeses that he couldn’t remember them all, although there were a few that stood out. He remembered she’d said yes to being sexually serviced, male or female, and a question mark next to numbers. What a fucking turn on to watch another woman play with Sunny’s pert breasts. An image of long red fingernails scraping across his lover’s tight pink nipples or the tip of a tongue teasing her hard and exposed clit sent him closer to climaxing.

The hand stroking his cock picked up speed, along with his breathing. Oh shit, for her to be bound for everyone and anyone he chose to pleasure was also enticing. His heart pounded faster as he thought about standing nearby and telling people how to feed his woman’s desires, how to bring her to climax again and again. It was for him as her lover to ensure she was never left wanting or unfulfilled. Thanks to their first meeting, he already knew she got off on exhibitionism, bondage, blindfolds and being fucked by a machine. He also knew she liked having his cock in her mouth and anal sex. The latter was discovered when he’d taken her from behind and slipped a moistened finger into the tempting back door. Oh, how she’d begged for another finger and then another until he’d given her his rod. Even then he’d wished to have something for her to suck on. He wanted to fill her up. Spreading his legs wider, he leaned his forehead against the wall, used one hand to play with his balls while the other smoothly slid up and down his cock. Playing like a movie across his brain was Sunny on the leather horse, being mastered by the saddle dick. How beautiful she’d looked fighting against the machine. Her body shining with perspiration, thighs glowing with lust spent. She’d grunted, moaned and pleaded for satisfaction with each plunge the leather tool made into her tight cunt. Everyone there could hear the rod moving through her heavy cream. She’d been a bundle of pleasure that night. Suddenly, he was seeing his cock thrust into her sleek pussy, hard and fast, only to leave covered in her honey. As the water beat against him, his hand stroked his length as if he were fucking his woman. Only a wet smacking sound and his heavy breathing could be heard over the water Fuck! She’d also said yes to toys and being collared. Keeping her ass plugged would bring a lovely pink tinge to her cheeks, both sets. With her tight rose occupied all day long, she’d be begging to be taken when they came together. 56
Ride ‘Em
Oh shit! He saw himself coming in from a long day of training horses, sweaty and dirty, only to find her naked except for his collar and on her knees. That sent his seed spraying against the shower’s wall. By the time he calmed down, cleaned up and turned the water off, he knew what he wanted and how he was going to go about getting it. Yes, everything else, all the kinky sex was extra. What mattered most was to claim her as his.
***** For Sunny, a call from Court was never unexpected or unwanted. Late that afternoon he phoned the restaurant and asked if she’d like to come out to the ranch for dinner that night. They hadn’t planned anything, but he said he had a surprise waiting for her. Thrilled, she agreed and was bouncing with excitement for the rest of the day, wondering what he had hidden up his sleeve. As she pulled up to the front of his house, she noticed Court getting up from one of the old rocking chairs on the broad front porch. Stepping out of the car, she walked confidently into his embrace and stood on her toes to give him her usual enthusiastic greeting. The kiss quickly turned heated. His tongue stroked across hers, tangled and entwined together. His hand eased under the hem of her short skirt to grasp hold of her ass, bare because she’d purposely worn no undergarments. She loved to tempt him with her body. Any thoughts of who might see them never entered her consciousness as he pulled away from her lips and whispered in her ear. “Do you trust me to keep you safe?” “Of course.” “To bring you no harm?” “Yes.” “Are you ready to be completely mine?” 57

“Oh yes, Court, yes!” Unimaginable pleasure and excitement raced through her. Finally, the time for her to give herself over to him was here. “Take the pleasure I give you, however I offer it?” “Yes!” “Go inside to the bedroom, take off everything you have on and clothe yourself only in what I’ve supplied.” “Okay.” “When you’re ready, bring what remains with you and meet me in the barn.” “The barn?” “Yes, the barn.” “Fine. I’ll be out when I’m dressed appropriately.” With one last kiss, she rushed up the stairs and inside his house. Once she was on the second level, she turned right and entered his bedroom. It spoke so clearly of the person she loved that she always needed to stand still for a moment and absorb him and his world. This place was full of strength. It has been built by and for the solid, strong, healthy man who was comfortable in his skin. The memory of their first time making love made her already frisky body quiver further with need. Giving her head a shake, she looked away from the rug in front of the hearth and brought her mind back to the present. What she found on the bed had her pussy clenching, heating up further and starting to beat out a rhythm calling for pleasure. Tonight she was going to happily submit to Court and she couldn’t get undressed fast enough to prepare herself for him. Laid out across his bed was a pair of black leather chaps and a plunging neckline vest that tied behind her neck and waist. Up to the knee black boots stood on the floor and an odd mass of leather she’d never seen before rested beside them. That must be what she was supposed to take with her when she went to the barn.
58
Ride ‘Em
Stripping down, she folded her own clothes and set them on the dresser, then dashed into the attached master bathroom to take a quick shower before returning and donning the leather cowgirl attire. Interesting that he’d chosen the barn for them to initiate this new phase in their relationship. Maybe it fit better than she thought, considering that was where they’d met. The first time she’d entered a barn, the hay and horse smell didn’t do anything for her. Then, when she’d joined the group and set out to submit her body to the pleasure of somebody, the setting had become more comforting. The scent seemed to say everything was going to be fine. Now, whenever she was at work and a cowboy would come in smelling of the ranch, she immediately thought of Court. She felt sexy as she stood before the mirror, checking herself from all angles. Breasts that were average in size now looked lush and full, with tight nipples poking against the leather top. There were no undergarments available and yet the chaps worked wonderfully to frame her mound and ass. Her pink slit was visible, as was the dew glistening on her upper thighs, showing she was eager for his lusty attention. Turning around, she looked over her shoulder and thought her backside looked plump, the dark crease pointing down to a brief glimpse of her lower lips, seen when she bent over at the waist. The boots were comfortable and added a couple of inches to her height. Fussing with her hair, Sunny picked up the two remaining leather pieces, headed down the stairs and out the front door. Halfway across the courtyard, it came to her that her mound was bare to anyone she might come across. It wasn’t surprising that she found the possibility intriguing. She felt no shame in her body or in expressing herself sexually. She liked being looked at as a sensual being and it seemed as if Court was with her on this. Eager for what was to come, she walked quickly, entered the barn and stopped when she found it dark. She never saw or heard her lover come to her side, but suddenly he was there. He stood silently before her, arms crossed over his bare chest, well worn jeans hanging low on his hips, his scruffy boots and hat in place.

Calm brown eyes roved freely from the top of her head to the tips of her boots, appearing to enjoy what they saw. “You look beautiful.” “Thank you, I feel it in these clothes you picked for me.” She noticed a small smile spread across his lips and it had her snickering a bit as well. Court walked around her as if inspecting his property. Sunny stood straighter beneath his focused attention. He stopped in front of her, placed a finger beneath her chin and lifted her face until her eyes met his. The naughty little boy look about him didn’t scare her. If anything, it brought her legs closer together in an effort to keep her passion from spilling out. “My desire for this evening is for you to feel nothing but pleasure. Along that vein, I have a blindfold and the items in your hands are leather sleeves to bind your arms together. Have you ever worn them?” “No, I haven’t.” “The leather wraps around each arm, from wrist up over your biceps and then they buckle closed. One sleeve is equipped with a hook, the other a clip. Once both pieces are on, they secure your arms together, either in front or behind you. Today your arms will be in front of you.” Gently he explained the sleeves to her, pointing out specific parts as he spoke. His manner took away any concerns she may have had with the new items. “Oh.” “Are you okay with them?” “Definitely. The restriction sounds wonderful.” More, they made her vulnerable and the idea of being in such a state beneath him brought the moisture gathering in her pussy, down low, ready to slip from between her lips and down her leg. “Tonight there’ll be nothing to preclude you from speaking unless you’re giving a blowjob. You need to tell me your safe words. One to stop immediately and another for stop and wait.”

“Stop is ‘pickle’ and there’s no need for the second. I trust you to know when I’m not comfortable with what’s happening.” “Fair enough. Now, give me your arms and let’s get these sleeves on you.” Court worked carefully, methodically securing each buckle before he used the hooks to bring her arms together in front. The position of her arms pushed her breasts together to form an incredible cleavage she’d never had before. Oh yes, she liked these arm binders very much. “Now for your blindfold.” Walking behind her, he put the fabric over her eyes and tightened the strap holding the covering firmly in place. “Are you okay?” “Mmmm, yes, perfect.” With a hand stroking a plump exposed ass cheek, he nudged her forward, leading her slowly toward what she thought was the back of the barn. There was a turn, then another before they came to a stop. She knew there was a strong light on because she could feel the heat beating against her skin. There was also a slab of concrete beneath her feet and a good dose of hay. A metal clanking sound took her by surprise. She jumped but didn’t move away. “I’m hooking a sturdy wire to a hook on the binders. This will hold your arms above your head and also offer you support, so don’t worry about falling.” Nodding her assent didn’t stop Sunny from being startled when the winch started slowly lifting her arms up. They weren’t pulled taut but acted as a firm hold to help keep her steady on her feet. “Hmmm, I don’t think this is necessary.” The voice came from somewhere behind her and was shortly followed by strong fingers working to untie her top. “Court?” “Yes, sweetheart?”

“Is there someone else with us?” “Yes, there is. Why?” Thinking for a moment, she remembered her list and putting a question mark next to the number of partners. Pleasure was all she could think of, but when Sunny pulled herself together to think of what he’d said, she finally admitted it didn’t matter if there was one person or more as long as he was there. “Nothing.” “Wonderful. Guys, shall we proceed?” Guys? Oh my.

Chapter Seven Wearing only chaps and boots, his lady looked so incredibly seductive, he knew he’d made the right decision. Finally, the time had come when he’d give her the ultimate pleasure. Court felt heady with power and love. She looked stunning, stretched before the three of them. In that moment, he felt more in tune with himself and Sunny than he’d thought possible. He knew she was his heart and future. Her trust in him was humbling, as well as giving a boost to his confidence. He hadn’t needed it, but it definitely felt good all the same. Resting against the stall boards, he watched as Ted and Matt moved around her lean body, stroking a flank here, cupping a breast there. They kept her off balance by not being consistent in anything. Her mind would be focused on what her body was experiencing and not who was doing it. “There, yes, right there. She likes to have her sweet pussy finger-fucked while her clit is chewed.” A naked Matt was on his knees between Sunny’s legs. He had one of her legs draped over his shoulder and the other braced against his thigh. Thrusting his finger in and out of her damp slit had to be torturous for her and yet it was merely a teaser for later. The plunging digits brought his thumb repeatedly and directly over her nub as he urged the bundle out from beneath its protective hood. Eventually her cries had Matt bringing his other hand over to his cock, gripping it firmly as he latched onto her hard button. Watching as the other man sucked her clit into his mouth, Court was sure it was already hard and throbbing. When batting at the sweet nub with his tongue wasn’t enough, Matt started gnawing on the hard knot. They all knew any attention paid to 63

this particular tasty bit of flesh was something she got off on. Personally he enjoyed time spent teasing her like this. It usually led to an incredibly lusty ride. Tonight he was sure it would as well. Court knew she believed that because she didn’t have large breasts, they weren’t her best assets when naked. No one else ever ignored the tempting balls of delicious flesh. They were average in size but so very responsive and perfect for keeping her wanting. “Look at those beautiful tits. Do you enjoy having them pinched and pulled, my precious flower?” Court spoke to her as he watched Ted teasing the hard, pink tips. As he spoke, Ted stood behind her, surely nudging his hard-on into the seam of her ass. The man reached around, cupped the soft, white, creamy breasts and teased rough calloused pads of his thumbs over the excited nipples. He pinched and pulled on the tips, bringing groans of pleasure from her lips. “Oh yes, yes, oh please more.” “More what? What do you want more of?” Court asked calmly, enjoying every moment of her pleasure. “Ummm, anything you’re offering.” “More fingers plunging into your dripping pussy?” He nodded to Matt who added a second finger into her liquid slit. “Ye-es!” “Fingers tweaking those deliciously tight pink nipples more fiercely. They are pointing temptingly at me.” “Ple-ease!” Ted pinched, rolled and twisted the captured tips. “Maybe another person to worship your sweet sexy body?” Matt was thoroughly fucking her now. Court could hear the man’s fingers sluicing through her cunt. 64

“Oooo, ye-es yes, please!” “What about your mouth or your tight rosebud, which has been weighing on my mind lately, are they lonely?” “C-cour-rt unngh!” He knew the minute she couldn’t take any more. While he watched her intently, control of her body was held in the firm grip of her orgasm as it roared through her. Sunny groaned as her body was torn between thrusting against Matt’s mouth and fingers and arching further into Ted’s relentless grip on her tits. “You’re incredible when you come, Sunny. The satisfied glow racing across your body is stunning, but your moans, well, they are beyond my experience. Did you know that as you climax, your body quivers, your mouth emits the most incredible groans and my dick instantly shoots up to a rock hard position, eager to enter the fray?” By all appearances, she was already back on the pleasure wheel, ready to experience all those intense feelings again. Both men continued to play with her body. The more delight they gave, he knew, the more they received. Neither man was unfamiliar with what she liked, nor were they afraid to use the knowledge to keep her mind and body right where they all wanted it, absorbed in the eroticism of the moment. Ted stood flush against her back, smoothing his hands on her hips, across her stomach and seemed to be savoring her satin soft skin along the way. He leaned down and started to nibble on her sweet spot, most likely causing goose bumps to race up her arms and down her legs. The sensitive skin right where her neck and shoulder meet was a place Court was most familiar with. Lick, suck, nibble, whatever, she’d shake, quake and beg for relief. Tonight, it was no different. Naked, his rod already covered in a condom, Ted looked ready to get about the business of reducing Sunny to a withering mass of feminine lust. He kept an eye on Court from over her shoulder, waiting for the go ahead sign. Court felt pleased tonight. They’d have the white picket fence lifestyle they both wanted, as well as fulfilling all their physical desires, however they wanted. 65

“Uhhh!” “You like that?” Court asked her while finding her passion electrifying. “Ummm, yes.” Her head was flopped to one side, exposing her neck further to Ted, while her leg was now pulling Matt’s mouth closer to her clit. Court didn’t think any of them could take much more. He gave the signal to the other man, bringing the next phase to this seductive dance into play. Grasping the limb that rested on Matt’s knee, Ted lifted it to join the other on his brother’s shoulders, shifting all her balance to her arms. Court smiled as he watched this leg to also curl around the man’s neck pulling him closer to her pussy. Shifting his own stance, Ted placed the head of his latex-encased shaft into her now vacant slit and slid easily through her wet channel in one solid stroke. “Is that enough for you? “Ummm.” There was nothing hurried about the three people passionately occupied before him. Court enjoyed seeing his woman find her pleasure while at the center of the two men’s physical attention. After about a dozen slow strokes, Ted pulled his rod free from her heated depths, disappointing the beauty literally hanging from a rafter. “No!” Frustration was clear in her exclamation. Using his hands, Ted let her know exactly where his dick was headed—into her ass. Court came over with some lubricant, preparing his woman’s back entrance for an easy penetration. While Ted held her cheeks spread wide, Court inserted the tube’s nozzle and squeezed, depositing a large portion of the liquid in her rear entrance. There was no way he wanted his lover to feel any pain. He pulled it out, drizzled some more along

her back seam and tossed the tube to the floor. He slid his finger up and down the crease before he delved into her back rose, working the lube in the tight opening. “How’s that, my flower? Do you like your ass filled?” “Oh yes, yes! Fill me up.” “You’re so tight. Not to worry, we’ll make sure you’re nice and slippery back here.” He added another finger and spread them as he slowly fucked her with them. She tried to move her body between the mouth latched onto her clit, fingers filling her pussy and his own two digits buried in her ass. She was getting closer to where he wanted to send her but wasn’t quite there yet. Looking over at Ted, Court nodded and they swapped places so he could hold her cheeks open while the other man introduced his dick to her luscious ass. As the man’s tool slowly made its way deep inside her back channel, Court maintained a whispering campaign, letting her know what an incredible vision she was at that moment. “I can tell you’re enjoying all this, aren’t you, my sweet?” “Ohhh, yes, Court, I am, I am, but I still want more.” “Greedy little thing. That’s fine because there’s more to come.” Matt moved away from her clit and unwrapped her clinging legs from his shoulders. Maintaining a hold on her ankles, he lay on his back on the hay-covered pad. After Court moved away and released the winch, he helped Ted lower his precious cargo so she straddled his brother’s lap. His condom-covered cock looked ready to drill straight through her slit. While the two men worked on getting her settled and both cocks lodged inside her, he helped her find her balance with her bound arms braced against Matt’s chest. When everyone was in place, he stepped back to watch as his two friends took his woman to new heights.

His hand moved down and squeezed his own hard-on through his jeans. Soon he’d join them, but right now he wanted to watch and enjoy all the many pleasures that swamped him as Sunny was embraced by real desire. This woman was his heart and soul. To see her being filled and fulfilled by their good friends brought him such incredible joy. He felt his love for her swell as she allowed the passion he controlled to overcome her and take over her mind and body. Everything happening in front of him wasn’t about or for him. It was all about her and what she wanted. Sunflower Forever Free thrived and flourished when she was the center of attention, most especially when it involved her erotic needs. “Court! Court!” “I’m right here. Are you enjoying yourself?” “YES! It’s so unbelievable and, and, ohhh!” “But you want more?” “Yes, I want you!” “Soon, sweetheart, right now I’m enjoying watching you being fucked.” Reaching down, he unbuttoned his fly. His hard cock burst forward, eager to play. Stroking his length, he watched Matt and Ted move Sunny between them. He knew he couldn’t hold off joining the group much longer. The rhythm of their movements had started slow, but it didn’t take long before they sped up. Little intelligible communication passed between the trio, but the deep masculine grunts were highlighted by the higher pitched screaming passionate answers offered by his lover. “Shit!” “Yeah, so, ungh, fucking tight.” “She’s going to go off…” “Man, she squeezes…” “Uhhh, so close…” 68
Ride ‘Em
“Fuck, yeah, ungh!” Four large hands held tight to her hips and waist. As Ted pulled her off Matt’s rod and on to his, the move was quickly countered by Matt pulling her back down onto his dick. Sunny had come already. He knew the men still tried valiantly to hold their orgasms off, wanting to last longer but Court had to believe it was becoming more difficult to stave off the inevitable. All activity stopped when he stepped forward. Stroking his dick with one hand, he smoothed a finger from the other over her heated cheek to her panting lips. “Open for me, sweetness, part those luscious lips and let me take care of you. Feed you my seed and fill you up completely. Do you understand, Sunny? Do you see how I want to give you everything that means something to me? I’m offering it all to you here and now. More than possessions, I give to you all that I am—myself and my friends.”
Court knew her so well. To have him lower all shields of self-preservation he gained as a way to survive the hard hits in Hollywood meant more to her than words could ever express. He was handing her the power to hurt him by sharing everything he held close, his heart and his friends. There was no doubt what she’d do with her man’s offer. Opening her lips wide, she welcomed his hard cock into her mouth and savored his presence there. Suckling on the wide tip, she worked her tongue around the crown, tracing every ridge, each vein that pulsed. Sunny wanted to share the pleasure she was experiencing with her lover. Right there, with her body being filled by three men, she felt sexy, so very wanted and absolutely loved. To be the center of attention, petted, controlled and fucked were things she needed and he gave them all to her. But now, she decided, it was time to coax Court into losing his control, bringing him more fully into this special interlude. Like a vacuum, she sucked as much of him down as she could handle and then pulled back. She kept a portion of him and worked the flesh over with her tongue. She 69

wanted to taste more, wanted to take him all the way down her throat but knew that was impossible—he was too big. Instead she played with what she could take. Sunny teased his little opening with her tongue, enjoying the tangy flavor of the dash of juice he produced. Even though she was limited in how she was able to express herself, it still wasn’t difficult to let the men know what she was thinking. Her vocal cords still worked even though her mouth was full. She hummed around Court’s dick, loving the answering pulse. Her muscles still worked in both her pussy and ass. Consciously, she tightly clenched around the cocks that filled her. Each moan, every pulse from her body let the men know how much she enjoyed what they were doing and the pleasure they gave her. Their striving for release was becoming very intense. Normally she’d have laughed at the resulting groans they offered in return, but not now. The blindfold came off, but she’d already known who the other two men were. Sunny loved being surrounded and filled by the men she cared most for in the world. They left her feeling complete. Then, as one, they burst into motion. Court’s hands tunneled through her hair, grasped her head and started moving her mouth on and off his hard cock. “No barrier will ever exist between us—nothing will ever separate me from any part of you,” he growled “I warn you guys, I’m close,” Ted grunted as he continued to plunge in and out of her ass. “Sunny comes, I’ll blow.” His brother agreed through panted breaths. “Ummm, ummm, ummm!” Her body held them all tightly, as if not wanting to lose the thick cocks filling her depths even for a moment.

“Shit!” Matt was the first to come after bouncing Sunny quickly on his cock, her wet slit clenched, squeezed and held him tight until he climaxed with great jets of cum left to reside in the tip of his condom. Ted started to come before his brother had finished, every bounce off Matt’s dick meant she was thrust back, hard, onto his own. He’d been too close to the edge to last any longer. Neither man pulled his rod free. Instead, they stroked her body further, keeping her on edge. Matt shifted a hand off her hip to rest between her legs, giving him easy access to her hard clit. He pinched, pulled and generally teased the little nub, keeping her body striving for more. Ted was doing much the same, only to both her nipples. On his knees, resting flush against her back, he moved both hands from her hips and plucked her tight nipples. “Look at these delicious tits, Court, want a bite?” He lifted one breast higher and strummed the tip with his thumb until she was moaning around Court’s plunging cock. “Or would you rather eat straight from her cunt? She has a load of honey seeping from her slit. Shit, the way she’s still riding my half-hard dick makes me think she needs a seriously hard fuck. Don’t worry, I’ll be up for it soon, then I’ll take care of our passionate flower.” Ted and Matt made it hard not to laugh, but she did because she had eyes only for Court. Watching him closely, she noticed the moment something in him changed. She wasn’t sure what had caused it, but he slowly pulled her off his cock and calmly stepped away. Sunny was disappointed, ready to clamp down on his rod to keep it in her mouth and the others as well. She liked being filled up this way and he hadn’t come. “Okay, guys, ready?” Who knew how much these men talked about sex and their ideas for her, but it was obvious they had. It seemed as if they were adhering to a plan and it was all about having her lost in the throes of lust. The brothers disengaged their rods, stood up and 71
Tilly Greene
helped her to her feet. Surrounding her, they held her steady, cuddled and stroked her, while Court disappeared from her view. She heard the winch start again, her arms slowly moving back over her head. Her man nudged the guys away and stood before her. Now it was just the two of them. There was a raw magnetism about him, domineering, demanding and on edge. He was so very sexy and ready to come. Dusty boots peeked out from beneath jeans that were barely hanging on to his hips, his shining cock stood out from its nest and he was pulling his balls out to rest outside the jeans. Blinking rapidly, she realized she was seeing him as she never had before. Yes, a big gorgeous stud eager to please her and her body but also entirely at her mercy. It didn’t matter that she was the one helpless, bound arms stretched above her head, she owned this man’s heart and was ecstatic about it. “Hey, cowboy, you going to take me?” “Oh yes, I am, flower. Right now I’m enjoying looking at you. You’re so fucking beautiful with your thighs all wet with honey. Are you ready for me?” “Past ready.” “Haven’t you climaxed? Haven’t I seen to your pleasure?” “You have, but your dick revs me up, so take a step closer and give it to me!” “Give it to you?” “Please, I love you dearly, but right now I’m horny, not eloquent.” Court took the step, easily lifted her legs up, draped them over his forearms and thrust into her dripping pussy, in one stroke he bottomed out, allowing his balls to swing up and bounce with a thud against her ass. Strong and sure, he held her dangling form steady as he fucked her. She screamed for more when really she didn’t think she could take much more.
72

There must have been a spring on the wire holding her arms stretched because it felt like he was pulling her down onto him. It was very liberating for her body to be held firmly and treated so lovingly. She noticed Court struggling to keep from coming, although she could feel her own climax about ready to burst again. “Oh yes, ungh, Cou-rt, Cou—” “There, there, uhhh, so fucking tight.” Screaming at the top of her lungs, Sunny came. Her pussy clutched his pistoning cock, wanting to hold it tighter, closer and never let it leave her heat again. What breasts she had bounced with each thrust. Their bodies slapped together with the power in which they met and she loved it. Her slit offered no resistance to his fucking. She was willing and open for him to take whatever he needed. Court climaxed with impressive pulsating jets of cum splattering off the walls of her pussy and a shout for her. “Sunny!” “I’ve got you, cowboy!” Hot and sweating, he held her pressed close against his chest. Her legs were free to wrap around his waist, causing his jeans to lose the battle with gravity and slip to rest around his booted ankles. “Love you so very much, Sunny.” Court’s strong arms reached around her waist and squeezed her close. “Are you okay?” “Better because you love me.” As one of the brothers worked the winch, lowering her arms around his neck, the other was waiting behind Court to work on unhooking the arm binders. After her limbs were separated, and with his cock still imbedded within her heated depths, he hobbled them into another stall and told her to look at his present. “Oh yes!”

“I had to buy that big, black leather horse and all the extras, most of which you never had a chance to try. You were too sexy riding it from one orgasm to the next not to have it here in the barn for a return visit whenever we wanted.” Court nudged his nose against the side of her neck and kissed her softly. “It definitely gave me a thrilling ride.” “Would you mind dressing like this for us again?” “Whenever you guys want.” She meant it too. This man was her lover and the Wilson brothers were a part of their circle. With a hand holding the back of her head, Court kissed her deeply. The kiss quickly turned carnal and someone, she wasn’t sure who, pressed up against her back. It wasn’t long before the other brother walked up, put his arms around the two men and she was sandwiched between them all. Breaking the kiss, she smiled at each brother before looking back at her man with the glow of love and lust washing over her. Sunny wasn’t surprised with his next request. “Be naked and ready to fuck?” There was no hope for it—she had to laugh at the open lust on all their faces. Her lover may have asked, but it was obvious the question referred to them all. There was no doubt for any of them that Court was her heart and soul, her life. She was in love with him and wanted a future with him at her side. The other two were men she loved, respected and would do anything for. The four of them were one family who may not live under the same roof, but it was clear to her and her lover, the Wilson brothers could have her whenever they wanted. “Yes, always.”

Epilogue Leaving the barn, Court walked toward the house with his head down, watching the summer dust kick up around his feet and scatter in the breeze. His untucked and unbuttoned shirt flapped in the hot breeze. The heat of the day sun seared and quickly created enough sweat to slip down his spine, into the top of his jeans. Life couldn’t be any better than it was right now. Smiles were easy these days, he thought. He was still clean and sober, his business was going well and he was in love with a fantastic woman. Before dawn this morning, he’d woken up to find her pressed against him and knew it was going to be a great day. He took his time waking her up by slowly feeding her sweet pussy with his morning hard-on. He rode her gently through one climax and felt energized by her passion. After she slipped into the hold of her second orgasm, he’d taken her fast and ferociously until his own orgasm rose up to fill her with his seed. Unable to help himself, Court reached down to adjust his hardening cock. He’d known the day was going to be a special one and for him this meant she’d wear his mark. Carefully he’d rolled her over onto her stomach, boneless and glowing with passion. He’d laughed over her groans and prepared to place his collar on her. It wasn’t a traditional piece of jewelry but one that suited them. The choker looked elegant on her. A wide band of soft black leather was wrapped closely around her neck. It was there to remind her she was loved and cherished, mind, body and soul, by him. There was a unique closure in the back with intricate lacings, which meant she couldn’t put it on or take it off on her own. The piece looked simple, but it was what remained hidden that marked her more completely as his than anything else. After he’d laced her collar on, he’d opened the drawer and pulled out a shiny obsidian stone and some lube. Helping her onto her 75

knees, he’d deposited a good dose in her ass and worked the black stone in and out of her rose until it was comfortably lodged inside. He took the leather strands hanging loosely down her back, pulled them straight down, and tied them off around the free moving ring on the base of plug buried in her ass. Whenever he placed his mark on her, he was compelled to lean over and kiss each cheek before rubbing his thumb over the exposed end of the plug. The flat end of the stone had This Woman is Heart Mate of Courtland Dickerson, Lucky Double D inscribed on it. This proved to everyone and anyone who saw it that she belonged to him. Laughing under his breath, he admitted it kept him hard all day knowing she was running around the restaurant, quivering with lust, getting hornier by the minute. No problem, they’d fuck like rabbits when she got home tonight. Maybe he’d call the Wilsons over and see if they wanted to celebrate as well. Stepping hard on the front steps to help knock some of the dirt off his boots, he made his way up to the front porch. Once in the shade, Court took his hat off and hit it against his thigh, allowing dust to fly off the beige felt. All morning he’d been working with everyone else to prepare and load this first set of horses they’d sold. A ranch down in Texas purchased an even dozen after seeing how well the quarter horses performed on the Big W ranch. Yup, today had been busy, rewarding as well. He’d worked hard on making the Lucky Double D a success and it was, but it truly felt like it today when those horses were loaded and driven away. Running a hand through his sweaty hair, he opened the front door. No matter how much was going on during his day, there was always time to clean up and run into town to grab a bite to eat with his lady. He liked watching her at work, especially knowing she was wearing— With his hand still holding on to the knob, the door was pulled from his hand. Startled, Court blinked twice, taking in the beauty meeting him at his front door. “Hi there, cowboy. Want to celebrate?” 76

“I’m dirty, sweaty and smell like horses.” “Better and better.” Sunflower Forever Free stood in his foyer, naked except for a pair of tight, thighhigh, black leather boots and his mark. They were perfect for each other. Their minds seemed to work along the same path, especially when it came to fucking. He was pleased he didn’t have to drive into town to try and coax her into a quickie. “On your hands and knees, flower.” While he watched her settle herself on the foyer carpet, he quickly pulled off his shirt and unbuttoned his jeans. The front placket parted for his cock, steely hard from the moment he saw her. He didn’t bother to take the jeans off, merely pulled his heavy balls out as he moved to his knees. Stroking his big, rough and filthy hands over her soft white ass, he took a moment to thank the judge again who’d offered him rehab or prison. Without him, he may never have survived to have Sunny in his life. Court couldn’t deny the lure of her body. It was like a siren’s song that played only for him. Taking hold of his rod, he nudged it into her hot, wet slit. Slowly and without a pause, he slid through her cunt until he hit bottom with a groan. Using his knees, he spread their legs a little wider while she lowered her shoulders even farther, opening a little more space for him to sink into. “Shit, you’re so tight!” With the door open, dirt from work coating him and sweat slipping down his back, Court fucked his woman. Gripping the leather laces, he tugged on her plug, teasing her wonderful lustful nature to the surface. “Who fills you up?” Sunny squeezed his cock so tightly he couldn’t hold in the groan of need it created. He ditched the idea of savoring his pleasure and began pounding in and out of her slick grip. His balls bounced up and knocked against her clit, something he knew she loved.

“Oh, oh, oh!” Court pulled on her plug again. “Who, flower, who owns this pussy?” “Y-y-ou!” Hammering in and out of her now quivering hold, he wanted to hear her scream, feel her climax beat against his cock. With so little time before he knew he’d come, he took hold of the plug and started to fuck her ass as well as her cunt. “C-Co-ourt, I’m…!” “You want to come, is that it?” “Yes! Yes! Please!” Fast and hard he took her, until simultaneously they splintered. “Ungh! Ungh! Argh!” “Ahhh!” He collapsed across her back and tried to stop his head from spinning. With his front glued with sweat to her back, he could feel every breath she pulled in and released. After a few minutes, he took her earlobe between his teeth and gave a gentle tug. “Shit, Sunny, this is a dream come true. I like coming home to my woman, naked and ready to fuck.” “It’s pretty fabulous from my side as well.” She shifted and his prick hardened further. “And I brought back a cherry pie for later.” “My favorite. Do we have any squirty cream?” “Yup.” “Oh man, it is my day!” Court sat up, put his hands back on her hips and couldn’t help himself from fucking his rod in and out of her slippery pussy.

“All that screaming, what will the neighbors think?” “Can they join in?” He laughed hard. She had that right. The Wilson brothers would definitely come and join them. He’d give them a call later. Right now he wasn’t done playing with his woman. He slipped his hands down farther until they cupped her breasts. Using his hold on her chest, he helped pull her up until she was on her elbows. Moving his hands back to her hips, he was once again intent on possessing and mastering her body with his. Court started to move with purpose, quickly reducing her to a pleading mass of wonderful lust. Good thing she was as into allowing her carnal nature to play at will as he was. She made him so fucking horny most of any day, it was just about all he could think about. “I’m keeping you, Sunny, forever.” “Perfect, Court, because I definitely want to be kept by you.”
