“Of course,” Bailey laughed, and she hugged Tara back. “I got you some face moisturizer too.”
“I take it back,” Tara said very seriously. “You’re not a saint, you are a goddess.”
“It was just something on the list,” Bailey chuckled.
“Yes,” Tara nodded. “But I am about one day away from my mascara running out and I don’t think I could’ve held out any longer.”
“I mean, you wouldn’t have had a choice,” Paige laughed.
“Is going without mascara that terrifying of an idea to you?” Anna asked with a wry smile.
“Yes,” Tara said with a nod, and Anna laughed at her seriousness.
“But what about when there’s no more mascara left?” Paige asked with a raised brow.
“I’ll learn how to make it,” Tara said.
“Why don’t you just do that now?” Bailey asked.
“Because there’s still mascara in the world,” Tara said, and all the girls laughed.
It had been a long day, but I was happy to sit and eat spray cheese with the girls, and listen to them talk about mascara, it was these small moments that made everything else worth it.
Chapter 11
I woke at the college surrounded by my girls, then I put on some clothes, gave Winchester a pat on the head, and headed outside. It had been a little over a week since our trip to Burlington, and I thought about all the work we had done since as I breathed in the crisp fall morning air.
We had spent three days at each farm helping the farmers and civilians with the harvest and canning; the barn was nearly done, thanks to Rolly’s tireless effort, and we had managed to get the water filtration system nearly done, though we needed to figure out a way to store water for winter since I was sure that our hoses would freeze once the snow came. We now had a large supply of wood, Briar had given us plenty of hay for winter, and since we had been busy at the farms and campus there hadn’t been any run-ins with Canadians for a few days, which let everyone relax slightly.
I made my way to the roof and found Rolly reading a book and drinking coffee.
“Hey boss,” he said as I approached. “Coffee’s hot.”
“Hot coffee is the best kind,” I said, and I poured myself a cup. “Thanks.”
“Did you wake the girls?” the old man asked.
“No,” I shook my head. “I figured they could use some extra sleep, I’ll wake them in a bit.”
“They have been working hard,” Rolly nodded, and he took another drink of his coffee. “Farm labor ain’t easy.”
“While we’re here,” I said. “Let me pick your brain about something.”
“What’s up?” Rolly asked, and his gray brows pinched together.
“We need to figure out how to store water for winter,” I said. “I don’t trust our line not to freeze once the snow hits.”
“Hmm,” he nodded, and he swirled his cup of coffee. “What if we buried it below the frost line?”
“That would work,” I said. “But that’s a lot of digging, especially if we were to make one that goes to the barn as well.”
“True,” the old man nodded. “We could get some large containers?”
“Yeah,” I said. “That’s my plan for the moment. But keep thinking and let me know if you come up with anything.”
“Will do,” the old man grinned.
“Good morning,” Anna called out as she came out onto the roof with the rest of the girls and Winchester.
“Mmm, coffee,” Paige smiled, and she moved to pour herself a cup.
“Still hot,” I grinned.
“Pour me a cup too, please,” Tara said to Paige.
“Me three, please,” Bailey smiled.
“I’ll help,” Anna said, and she rolled her eyes and poured a cup of coffee for herself and Bailey.
Once the girls all had their coffee, I let them chat for a while while I enjoyed my little cup of heaven.
“So, what’s the plan for today?” Paige asked, and she rubbed Winchester’s belly with her foot.
“I’ll go check traps,” I said. “And I think I’ll try to do some hunting as well.”
“Can Bailey and I go for a ride?” Tara asked excitedly, and Bailey grinned.
“I think you’ve earned that,” I chuckled. “Just don’t tire the horses out too much.”
“I think I’ll keep working on fixing up the barn if you don’t need anything else from me,” Rolly said.
“I think that’s a great idea,” I nodded.
“I’m going to map out some more towns for us to hit,” Paige said.
“That would be great,” I smiled at the brunette. “Can you do that while on guard duty?”
“Of course,” she said with a smile
“Can I come hunting?” Anna asked with a grin.
“Sure,” I smiled. “I’d enjoy the company.”
“I did some calculations,” Paige said.
“Calculations?” Tara asked.
“Yeah,” Paige nodded. “To see how much food we will need for winter to sustain all of us.”
“What did you figure out?” I asked.
“We’re doing good so far,” Paige said. “But we’re still under what we’ll need.”
“Is that bare minimum to survive?” I inquired.
“I added some on top,” Paige said. “I figured that it would be a lot better to be over than try to work with exactly what should sustain us.”
“Good call,” I smiled.
“All the more reason to go hunting,” Anna said.
“Could you look up some information about mechanics and EMPs?” I asked Paige.
“Sure,” the brunette nodded. “Are you going to try to make some stuff work?”
“I’d like to, but let’s see what’s possible,” I said and then I turned to Anna. “Let’s go bag us a deer.”
“I’ll go grab my rifle,” Anna grinned, and she downed the rest of her coffee and went outside.
I met Anna at the edge of the forest a few moments later, we each had a rifle, a hunting knife, and a dark sweatshirt on.
“Ready?” I asked the redhead as she walked up to me.
“Ready,” she grinned, and we started to walk toward our traps. “It’s been awhile since I’ve been hunting.”
“Yeah,” I nodded. “We’ve been doing a lot of farming and trapping.”
“Trapping is fine,” Anna said, then she turned to grin at me. “But hunting is better.”
“I agree,” I chuckled. “Plus a single big deer can feed a lot of people for a long time.”
“I actually feel pretty good about this winter,” Anna smiled.
“I’m not sure everyone else shares your sentiment,” I said. “What makes you so confident?”
“Well,” she started. “Last winter we didn’t have you here, and we managed to get through it. This year we have you, and we’re already far better prepared than we were before, so even if it sucks, I know it will be better than last year.”
“That’s a good way to look at it,” I smiled.
“That’s why I’m the Major,” the redhead grinned, and I chuckled inwardly that she still didn’t know that Major was a higher rank than Captain in the Army. Or maybe she did?
“You’re a good major,” I said, and I heard the screech of a wild rabbit as we walked, so I smiled at Anna. “Seems like we’ve caught something.”
“We usually do,” Anna grinned, and we headed toward the sound.
We found a fat brown rabbit trapped in one of our snares, and it screamed harder as we approached. I moved to pick up the rabbit, but Anna beat me to it.
“I got it,” she said, and she grabbed it by the head and snapped its neck in one smooth motion.
“I guess it’s been awhile since I’ve gone trap checking with you,” I said. “How did you figure out that one?”
“Just seemed the easiest way,” Anna grinned, and she started to prep the now deceased rabbit.
“It’s amazing how well you all pick up o
n things,” I grinned at the redhead as I watched her work.
“Well, you did all the teaching,” she said as she pulled out the guts of the rabbit.
“I did,” I nodded. “But you girls have been able to adapt in an incredible way, and you especially when it comes to formulating a plan.”
“Thanks,” the redhead blushed, and she looked back down to the rabbit. “I mean, Paige is a lot better at prepping meat than I am, but I guess we all have our strengths.”
“That you do,” I smiled. “But if you think Paige is a better hunter why did you volunteer to come?”
“I said better at prepping meat,” she grinned. “Not better at hunting.”
“Right,” I chuckled.
“If I’m being honest,” Anna said, and she looked up to smile at me. “I just wanted some quality Tav time.”
“It has been awhile since we got some time alone,” I grinned. “If I didn’t know any better, I would think you brought me out here to seduce me.”
“Good thing you know better,” Anna said with a wink.
We didn’t find any other rabbits, but once we were done checking the traps, we moved to the trout lines and found five fish, so we baited the lines once again using the innards from the rabbit.
“Time for the fun part,” Anna smiled after we had attached all our rabbits and fish to a stick.
“I guess it is,” I grinned, and I turned to head deeper into the woods. “Follow me.”
“With pleasure,” Anna said.
I found some deer tracks as we walked, and I followed them to a small clearing, but I didn’t see any deer, so I knelt down for a moment, and I heard Anna kneel down next to me.
“Are we gonna be here for a while?” Anna whispered.
“Yes,” I nodded. “The tracks lead here, so some deer are bound to come through.”
“Okay,” she said, and she sat down next to me.
We sat quietly as we watched the clearing, but at some point, I found myself watching Anna. She sat with a focused look on her face, and her green eyes were homed in on the clearing. Her red hair sat in its usual large braid against her back, and a few small strands poked out around her ears. Her breath was steady and calming, and I admired the delicate features of her face and neck as we waited.
Anna’s eyes narrowed further, so I turned to investigate the clearing, and I saw three deer making their way into the meadow to graze.
I lifted my rifle slowly and lined up my shot. There was a loud bang as my gun went off, and I watched the doe closest to us fall limp while the others ran off back into the woods.
“Whoo-hoo,” Anna exclaimed, and she stood up and walked toward the dead deer. “Good shot.”
“Thanks,” I smiled. It did always feel good to be able to give the creature a swift death without a lot of suffering.
“Should we skin it here?” Anna asked.
“Let’s wait until we get back to camp to deal with the messy stuff,” I said, and I grabbed a rather large stick from the ground to tie the deer to.
“Okay,” Anna nodded, and she helped me tie the deer up, but before we lifted the doe to head for home, she placed her hand on mine and bit her lip. “I don’t think I’m ready for Tav time to be over.”
“What did you have in mind?” I asked the beautiful redhead, though I was sure I already knew.
“Well,” Anna started. “This jacket is so tight, could you help me get out of it?”
“I think I can do that,” I grinned, and I unzipped her black athletic jacket to reveal her uncovered breasts underneath. I groaned at the sight of them, and Anna pulled my neck so she could kiss me while my hands cupped her naked breasts.
She sighed into my mouth and pushed me back so I was sitting on the ground, then she climbed on top of me and rubbed her pelvis against my already hard cock.
“Oh fuck,” she moaned as she felt my member press against her through our pants. “I’ve needed this for so long.”
I reached around and undid Anna’s braid, and her red hair fell over her shoulders like a copper waterfall and grazed my face and neck. I grabbed her hair at the scalp and pulled her into me, and I pushed my tongue into her mouth so she moaned once more. Then I finished pulling off her jacket and felt her soft, cool skin against my hands as I touched all over her body.
Anna moaned as I stroked her nipples with my thumbs, then she moaned harder when I pinched them. Her moans were driving me wild, so I grabbed her by the waist and repositioned us so I was behind her, and she was on her hands and knees. Then I yanked her pants down and pushed my finger inside her dripping wet tunnel while my other hand undid my pants. Once my member was free, I pressed my cock against her wet slit and held it there.
“Not yet,” I told her as she tried to push back into me so I’d penetrate her.
“Please,” she breathed, and she spread her legs wider for me while I rubbed my shaft up and down her wet lips.
Her athletic ass looked great from this angle, and I growled when she pushed her face to the ground and lifted her hips even higher.
“Now,” I whispered. Then I plunged into her in one swift motion and felt her spasm around me. After I enjoyed her squeeze me for a few moments, I pulled out slowly and pushed myself back inside of her even deeper.
“Oh fuck,” Anna moaned as I filled her completely.
I grabbed onto her hips and thrust over and over until I felt her body tighten around me.
“That’s it,” I said as I thrust harder. “Come for me.”
“Oh Gooood,” Anna groaned, and I felt her pussy spasm as I watched her grip the forest floor and leave streaks from how ferociously she dug her nails into it.
“Good girl,” I told her as she spasmed around my cock, and then I grabbed her long red hair. “Do you like this?”
“Oh yes,” Anna moaned. “Pull it harder.”
“Keep coming for me,” I ordered, and then I held onto her hair as I fucked her from behind.
Anna’s legs were spread wide for me, and her pussy gripped me tighter with each thrust, but her long climax was starting to fade, so I turned her over, put her knees on my shoulders, and felt her legs wrap around my neck.
Anna lifted her arms over her head, and her perfect tits bounced as I fucked her. The redhead’s body was absolutely delicious, and her small pink nipples stood erect, so I leaned down to cover one of them with my mouth while I angled my hips upward so that the tip of my cock scraped along the upper part of her tunnel.
“Oh please,” she groaned as the new angle made her legs shake. “Come in me, Tav.”
“Soon,” I growled against her nipple and bit it gently.
That bite was enough to drive her over the edge again, and I felt her body tighten again with orgasm. She felt absolutely amazing around me, so I gave her three more deep thrusts and then left my cock deep in her as my own climax hit me. I released my load deep inside of the beautiful redhead, and she let out a squeal of joy when she felt my warm cum spray into her accepting body like a firehouse.
“Fuck,” Anna huffed into my shoulder a few moments later when we had both finished enjoying each other.
“Any other clothes you need help getting out of?” I chuckled breathily, then I slowly slid my cock out of her.
“I think you’ve already done that,” she laughed and then she stood up.
“You are so damn beautiful,” I told her. I stopped to take in the sight of her, fully naked, wild red hair, and my seed dripping out of her pink lips as she stood in the woods.
“Thanks,” she grinned. “You aren’t too bad yourself.”
“I hope that’s a compliment,” I scoffed, and we both laughed.
“Thanks for that,” Anna smiled after we had gotten dressed.
“No thanks necessary,” I grinned. “I should probably be thanking you.”
“Let’s agree to thank each other,” the redhead laughed.
“Deal, and I think we just did,” I chuckled, and I lifted one side of the stick the deer was on while Anna lifte
d the other side.
We made our way back to the campus, and just as we approached the tree line, I could smell meat cooking.
“That smells so good,” Anna said.
“It does,” I smiled, and I led us to the fire pit where Paige, Bailey, and Tara sat.
“Hey,” Anna smiled at the girls.
“Hey,” Paige smiled back.
“Heeeeey,” Tara said, and Bailey giggled and hit her on the arm.
“Tara,” Bailey whispered. “Stop it.”
“We realized we forgot to make breakfast,” Paige offered.
“Seems like you guys could use some after all those calories you burned out there,” Tara laughed, and Bailey put her red face in her hands.
“What’s going on?” Anna asked with a raised brow.
“I’m curious as well,” I said.
“Tara and Bailey,” Paige started. “They uh… they saw you and Anna in the woods.”
“It was an accident,” Bailey said quickly. “We were just riding and we just kinda--”
“It’s okay,” I chuckled.
“It was pretty hot seeing you in action,” Tara said, and she looked me up and down.
“Well I… I hope you enjoyed the show,” Anna grinned.
“Oh, we did,” Tara said.
“No way!” Bailey exclaimed at the same time.
“No shame in enjoying seeing your man in action,” Tara told the other blonde.
“I’m gonna go get Rolly for breakfast,” a blushing Bailey said, and she quickly headed toward the town, and Winchester followed her.
“Poor girl,” Anna laughed. “I think she’s more embarrassed than I am.”
“You don’t seem embarrassed,” I commented.
“Probably because I’m not,” the redhead grinned.
“So how was it?” Tara asked. “I’ve always wanted to have sex in the woods, but it seems so dirty.”
“Oh, it was dirty,” Anna said, and I looked over at her with surprise. “What? It was.”
“You’re going to embarrass me,” I chuckled. “And I don’t embarrass easily.”
“No need to be embarrassed,” Paige laughed. “From what Tara said it seemed like everyone enjoyed themselves.”
“Well, I certainly did,” Anna grinned.
