“Hey, what’s wrong with you? You know you’re not supposed to slam the door, and look at the mud you’re tracking in on Libby’s clean floor.” Nathan was panting, and more excited than Jacob could remember seeing him.
“Jacob, come quick!” He tried to pull his brother to the door.
“Why? Is the barn on fire?” Jacob knew how boys could flip out over the least little thing.
“No, you’ve gotta come see.” Nathan was insistent.
“See what, buddy?” Nathan’s enthusiasm was contagious.
“You just won’t believe it!” At Jacob’s stern expression – Nathan held open the door and motioned for his brother to follow him with a pleading look on his face. “You’ve got to see this, Jacob. It’s better than the time Isaac found that two-headed snake.”
“If you don’t just spit it out, I’m going to ground you from your Wii.”
Nathan wasn’t worried; he knew Jacob’s bark was worse than his bite. “For God’s sake, Jacob. I’ve been trying to tell you! There’s a mermaid in the stock tank!”
“Well, you’re right.” Jacob followed his brother out the door. “This, I’ve gotta see.”
The stock tank was huge, as stock tanks go. It held about twenty thousand gallons, as much as a decent sized swimming pool. It wasn’t the type of tank that cattle or horses walked up to and drank from. It was the type that collected rainwater, so it was available for the windmill and for the smaller tanks that dotted the various pastures. The McCoy’s irrigated some of their crops during the dryer weeks of the summer. All of the tanks were connected by pipes that were run by a mammoth engine in the back part of the barn. The McCoy brothers and their friends had always loved to swim in the tank; it had made an enjoyable haven on a hot day – and Nathan was carrying on the tradition.
Jacob folded his arms and tried not to smile as Nathan mumbled. “I don’t know where she went. She was right there, I swear.”
“It could have been some kids from one of the neighboring farms stealing a swim. You probably saw Haley Morrison. She kinda likes you, doesn’t she? I bet she snuck over here to see if she could get a glimpse of you, Nate-my-man.” Jacob knew Nate was just old enough to start noticing girls. What Jacob said embarrassed his little brother. In just seconds, his face was flushed red with the idea that a girl might have a crush on him.
“It wasn’t Haley, Jacob.” Nathan insisted. “This girl, mermaid or not, had bosoms.” Nathan held his hands out in front of his chest, measuring for Jacob the bountifulness of the mermaid’s blessings.
“Hmmm,” Jacob bit his cheek to keep from laughing. “I see what you mean.”
“And her bottom was all round and curvy; and she was shaped like this.” Nathan cut a classic hourglass figure through the air. At this, Jacob lost it.
“You looked at her pretty close, didn’t you? Did you happen to see a tail?” It felt good to laugh. The past couple of days had been fraught with tension. What with Joseph being paralyzed and Libby’s medical scare, they all felt like they had been put through the ringer.
“Yea, she had a really nice tail.” Nathan was measuring in the air again - rounded circles - innocent in his appreciation of the female form.
“No, no - bud, I meant a fish tail.” This gave Nathan pause, and he put a finger to his chin in deep thought.
“Shucks! I guess she was just a regular ole’ girl, I don’t remember a tail.”
Jessie watched from the corner of the barn and almost laughed out loud. Jacob loved his brother, Nathan. Seeing their fondness for one another made her feel so much better. Jacob would never think of asking her to get an abortion. Now, all she had to do was get him to promise that he wouldn’t try and take the baby from her.
When Jessie had found out that the real father of her baby was a rich man, she had been concerned. Jacob’s family was powerful, with countless resources. How would they react when they found out that a nobody was about to give birth to a McCoy?
So, Jessie had devised a plan. She would introduce herself to Jacob and explain the situation, making sure that he understood that she wasn’t asking or expecting any type of support for their child. What Jessie truly wanted from Jacob was his assurance that he wouldn’t challenge Jessie for custody.
So, today was the day. She was going to get dressed and march over to the main house and meet her baby’s daddy. She could see it now, ‘Hello, Jacob. You don’t know me, but I’m pregnant with your child.’ Good Grief! He was going to think that she was a crazy woman.
The letter from the Cryobank should be arriving soon. The director of the Sperm Bank told her that it was their legal obligation to inform Mr. McCoy of the mistake that was made with his sperm deposit. Mistake. She didn’t like to think of her baby as a mistake. Her child would know that it was loved; Jessie would make sure of that. Tentatively, her plans were to find a job and stay in Kerrville, close to Jacob. That way he would know she was willing to let him be as much, or as little, a part of their baby’s life as he wanted to be. And if, for some reason, they made him uncomfortable - she could move on - knowing that she had done right by Jacob McCoy.
After sending Nathan on his way, Jacob decided to check around the place - just in case. It probably was neighborhood kids, but there was no use taking a chance. The barn was a likely place to start. Silently he opened the door, allowing time for his eyesight to adjust to the dimmer light. Listening, all he heard was the nickering of the horses as they welcomed him. All of the spoiled animals were hoping that he brought a few carrots, or maybe an apple to share with them. Jacob had a soft heart for children, old people, and animals. Easing in, he looked around all the heavy equipment, checked behind hay bales and in several storage rooms and feed bins. Nothing. Climbing the ladder, he scoped out the hayloft. Nothing. Finally, he made his way to the wing of the barn that housed their personal mounts. Humming? Did he hear humming?
Jessie dried off quickly, using an old towel she had found in the upstairs apartment. As she rubbed herself down, she hummed an old Elvis tune, ‘Can‘t Help Falling In Love’ about fools rushing to love, when so-called “wise men” warn against it. Any time she was lonely or depressed, singing one of the King’s songs always lifted her spirits.
Hanging the towel over one of the empty stall doors, she promised herself she would take it back upstairs and slip it into the laundry hamper. The second floor apartment was special. Jessie respected the space. It was, obviously, an artist’s studio. There were several beautiful pieces of sculpture in various states of completion - an eagle perched majestically on a jagged rock, a bear standing upright in a ferocious stance, and an Indian warrior in full battle regalia. Jessie had refrained from touching them, but she had studied them with great admiration. With a wishful glance around the comfortable room, she had resisted the big, soft bed and had only taken a small amount of food from the little fridge to hold her over.
Collecting her clothes, she stood in front of the big golden horse’s stall while she prepared to dress. “I’ve enjoyed our time together, beautiful.” The stallion made a little snort of answer, causing Jessie to giggle. “You are the best roommate anybody could ask for.” Jessie leaned over and kissed the horse on the nose. “If I ever have a home of my own, or a place for me and my baby to belong, I hope I can have a horse as sweet as you.”
Jacob was speechless. There was an absolutely beautiful, nude girl standing in front of Paladin’s stall. He couldn’t quite hear what she was saying, but he could see enough to fall deeply in lust. His eyes roved over the most curvy, gorgeous backside he had ever been privileged to ogle. Inflating with desire, his cock began to thicken and grow. Her long, dark brown hair hung in damp curls and tendrils to the middle of her back. She was small, but preciously rounded. A perfect heart-shaped ass made his hips want to pump forward. Jacob knew that the gentlemanly thing to do would be to back up and quietly leave. But, he couldn’t. He
was afraid she would disappear before he got a chance to see her face.
‘Look at me, baby,’ he whispered under his breath. Yes! He was one lucky son-of-a-bitch. His wish was granted. Paladin sensed his presence and nickered a loud greeting. That equine hello caused the bare-naked angel to whirl around and face him. Before Jacob could string words together, the little doll crossed her arms over the most perfect breasts that God had ever created. They were full, round and had large peach colored nipples that tilted upward as if seeking his attention. He licked his lips in anticipation of sucking on those swollen nubbins till she creamed.
They both froze.
She stared at him.
He ate her up with his eyes.
Jacob took one step forward, “God, you’re exquisite, baby.” A scream from the porch of the main house broke the spell.
“Jacob! Jacob! Help us! Please hurry!” It was Libby. Something must be wrong with Joseph. Jacob took one last look at the erotic vision before him, and begged. “Don’t go, little Mermaid. Please, stay. I’ll be right back. I promise.” She never said a word, just looked at him with an odd yearning in her eyes. Shit! He had to go. Leaving her standing there was one of the hardest things he had ever done.
Rushing across the yard, he took the four steps up onto the verandah in two bounds. Throwing open the door, he dreaded what he would find. Hurrying through the house, he knocked over a dining room chair in his haste to get to the new wing they had built for Joseph to rehabilitate in.
“I’m so sorry, Joseph.” Libby was crying. “I shouldn’t have left you. Please forgive me.” The lovely young woman knelt by the man that lay sprawled on the carpet. The tremendous sadness in his eyes ripped a hole in Jacob’s heart. Even in his abject misery, Joseph showed concern for the weeping woman.
“Don’t cry, Libby. It wasn’t your fault. You just went to check on lunch. I could have waited. I shouldn’t have tried to do it by myself.” Jacob placed his hands on Joseph’s back and under his arm, ready to pick up his brother. Libby went to aid him.
“No, Libby. You’re pregnant. You don’t need to be lifting anything heavier than a handkerchief,” Jacob admonished her. With ease, he lifted Joseph from the floor and settled him into his wheelchair.
“Thank you,” Joseph murmured, avoiding his brother’s eyes.
“Libby, Honey - go check the food and give us a couple of minutes. Okay?” Jacob winked at Libby, letting her know that he just wanted to spend a few minutes with his brother. He waited until he could hear Libby moving around the kitchen. “So, what happened?”
“Hell, Jacob! I used to jump out of airplanes; I have to find my excitement where I can these days.” Joseph’s poor attempt at humor didn’t draw a laugh from Jacob. Using his strong shoulder and arm muscles, Joseph steered his chair over to the double picture window. He pulled back the curtain and looked out over Tebow Ranch. “Do you know what I was doing when I fell?” At Jacob’s soft negative answer, Joseph continued. “I wanted to come to the window to see outside. Isn’t that a hoot? I thought I could do it myself.” Jacob laid his hand on Joseph’s arm, lending wordless support. “I just wanted to look out the fuckin’ window!”
Jacob had seen her naked! She was absolutely mortified! True, he hadn’t run away screaming, but he was probably too polite to let his true reaction show. Oh, why couldn’t she be willowy and graceful? She had way too many curves to ever be considered attractive.
Foot! And there was no hope for her to get any thinner; not any time soon. After all, she was four and a half months pregnant. And the sad thing was, she couldn’t blame her overabundant figure on her pregnancy. She had been chunky to start with and as the baby grew, so would she. Hopefully once her bundle of joy was born, he would keep her hopping and she could shed a few pounds.
Jessie picked up her things. Good Lord! What was she going to do now? She finished dressing and did what he asked. She sat down on a hay bale to wait. Nervous. She was so nervous. Feeling of her hair, she realized it was a tangled mess. And she had no makeup on! There was a mirror upstairs in the apartment, maybe she could go up and try to repair a little of the damage. She wanted to look as nice for Jacob as she could.
******
“I’m so sorry, Joseph. Is there anything I can do for you?” Jacob was sincere. He would move mountains for his brother if he could.
“Yes.” Their eyes met. “I want you to run across the south meadow for me. I want you to climb that big spreading oak down by the creek; go all the way to that limb that stretches out over the blue hole, where we’ve always swam. And I want you to have sex with a woman for me. Stand on your strong legs and bounce her on your cock till she screams your name. And when you’re through, hold her in your arms all night long. You should be thanking God that you’re a real man, not half a man like me.”
Jacob was stunned at the emotion that was pouring from his brother. He knew Joseph was feeling a tremendous loss, but he had no idea to what depth. Jacob did his best to comfort him. “You will make love to a woman again, Joseph. Don’t you dare give up! We’re going to find somebody and some way to help you. You will walk again, run again, and swim again - all of it. I promise.” How in the hell he was going to keep that promise, he didn’t know - but he would. He would, if it was the last thing he ever did.
Maybe, he could take Joseph’s mind off of his problems. “This morning, Nathan went out to look for Noah’s phone. He spotted something in the stock tank, and came barreling back in the house swearing there was a mermaid out there taking a swim. Nothing would do, but for me to go check it out.“ Jacob grinned.
Joseph feigned interest, embarrassed by his own outburst. “I guess he was imagining things - or did you find a beautiful woman from the sea?”
“Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.” At that, Joseph jerked his head up and looked at his brother, trying to see if he was kidding.
“You found a girl in the stock tank?” Aron and Libby said they had a stock tank story, but they wouldn’t share it. Aron said it was too precious and personal to talk about, even with his brothers. Joseph wanted a chance to make memories like that with a woman. He was afraid those dreams would have to be placed on the shelf with his parachute and his running shoes.
“No, I found her in our barn. Stunningly naked.” Jacob drawled the information with the most satisfied smirk that Joseph could ever remember seeing on his brother’s face.
Joseph snorted. “Lucky bastard!”
“She may not have been a mermaid like Nathan first thought,” Jacob smiled, fire in his eyes. “But, he was close. She’s a goddess.”
Joseph looked back out the window. “If she’s in the barn - stunningly naked - what in hell are you doing in here?”
Good question.
Jacob held his breath, hoping against hope that his bathing beauty had waited on him. Entering the barn, he looked everywhere. “Sweetheart? Don’t be afraid. I wouldn’t hurt you for the world. I just want to talk to you.” He stopped, listening for the slightest sound. There was only silence. Fuck! She was gone. He didn’t have her name - he didn’t know which of the neighboring ranches she was from - he knew absolutely nothing! Jacob felt totally helpless. He had the oddest feeling that he had just lost something infinitely precious.
Standing there, forlorn, all he could think of was how beautiful she was, and how soft her skin had looked. Her breasts would have filled his hands with some to spare. Jacob felt his cock begin to harden, again. What he wouldn’t give for the privilege of loving on that sweet thing for a spell. A woman like that would make living worthwhile.
What the hell! It had been so long. Jacob needed relief in the worst way; even if it was from his own hand.
Mother Mary Full of Grace! Jessie Montgomery was more turned on than she had ever been in her life. Leaning against the stairwell wall, she peeped around the corner and fell head over heels in love. Jacob
McCoy was more man than Jessie had ever seen in the flesh. And heaven help her, the flesh in front of her had to be at least nine inches long and six inches around. Crossing her legs, she squeezed her thighs together; trying to give her throbbing clit a tiny bit of relief.
Mesmerized, she licked her lips as Jacob began to pleasure himself in long, rhythmic pumps and pulls that Jessie could feel from the tip of each nipple to deep inside her aching, empty vagina. Thank the Lord, he was standing in a section of the barn where a shaft of sunlight cut down through the semi-darkness and spotlighted his more than generous assets. Watching him work his tight hips as he squeezed and rubbed his own cock made Jessie tremble with desire.
And this was the father of her unborn child? Jessie dropped her head in her hands and groaned silently. What she wouldn’t give to have been able to acquire his sperm the old fashioned way.
Jacob felt his sac begin to tighten as he worked his dick furiously. If he didn’t bury himself balls deep in a woman’s hot pussy soon, his dick was going to fall off from disuse and neglect. He wanted to suck on those sweet, peach nipples that had tempted him so sweetly. Jesus! He wanted to squeeze that pair of perfect tits until he made the sweet doll beg him to love her all night long! God! Jets of cum shot up and out from his cock in a high arc, testifying to the tremendous need that had built up after months of celibacy - a drought of the worst kind.
