- You do not have to put remedy to anything, Jebediah - she began with the worn heart-, in January me...
It could not finish the phrase because Coltrain made her be turned towards him, and imposed silence on him placing his mouth on that of her. At first Lou resisted, such and since he had waited, but it kissed her slowly and softly, and little by little, she was melting against his body, since the ice is melted by the heat.
With an intense groan, Coltrain attracted her towards if, and Lou's fingers got entangled in his red-haired hair, sticking to him in the middle of the ardor that was consuming it. It was kissing her just as it had kissed her the day of the holiday, without leaving a centimeter between them, and this time, when the masculine language invaded his mouth, it did not separate. He accepted that intimate contact without protesting, trembling lightly on having felt that it was waking up new sensations in his interior. A soft groan escaped of his gullet, and noticed that from the hands of Coltrain it was never descending up to the hollow of his back, pushing it towards him, making her rub against his body, and thought that it should for that one, but it was unable to do another thing more that to answer to his kisses and to his warmth.
It did not even resist when, without detaching his lips of those of her, another hand of Coltrain slid below the robe, and closed on the curve of one of his bosoms.
He warned how there were hastening the beats of the heart of the young woman and, with a croaking, introduced the hand below the neck in uve of the nightgown, taking delight in the velvety gentleness of his skin, and later it began to stimulate the nipple with the thumb. Lou trembled again, and he pulled softly the small node, provoking captivated groans in the young woman. Probably it would not have come that far with any man, thought Coltrain. And still it could give him something more, another pleasure that still he was not known.
His lips left those of her, and were descending for the gullet up to coming to the soft circumference that it had been caressing. It opened the mouth, engullendo the areola, and his language replaced to his fingers. Lou panted and was removed between his arms, but Coltrain started sucking, and soon it her noticed to relax, to give in completely, up to such a point, which if it had not been because it was supporting it, would have collapsed on the soil.
Meanwhile he was exploring it, Lou was caressing the nape with tremulous hands, tangling the fingers in his short hair. It gave a light jump when it started sucking with more intensity, but it did not separate it.
Coltrain noticed that it was on the verge of losing the control and, without doubting a moment, forced to raise the head and erguirse. Louise saw that his cheeks were red clouds, since it theirs had to be, since he was feeling them burning, and the blue eyes seemed to blaze for the intensity of what they had just shared.
Coltrain scrutinized his face while it was trying to recover the breath and lowered the look to the neckline of the nightgown. It separated it a little, and admired the perfection of the small but firm bosom that he had been savouring. It planned delicately the outline of the red nipple, and lifted the look to Lou's eyes to read between them the pleasure that was producing to him the caress.
- It might have taken you right now if he wanted and you would not have been opposed, right here, on the table of the kitchen - it murmured-. And really do you think that you are going to leave in two weeks?
Lou blinked, still sick. All that was so unreal. As he had said, it had been to a step of taking it. His hand was on his naked breast ... and it was looking at it!
Terrified for having allowed that the things should come that far, it separated from him and awkwardly it turned to put well the nightgown, being covered again with the robe.
Coltrain supported the bottom in the top sheet and crossed the legs. That movement attracted the attention of Lou towards something that he had felt earlier against his belly, and became red as cochineal before managing to separate the sight. What had it done? What had it allowed him to do?
- You are beautiful when you blush - it murmured Coltrain.
- Leave, please - she driven to despair requested him-. Make me alone.
- I am afraid that I am not going to be able to like you - said to him he much calmed-, because he had come to invite you to mount on horseback for my mess. Boy, I know good girl and be going to put on a few jeans and a few boots.
- I do not think to go with you nowhere!
- Not even to the bed? - inquirió he with a malicious smile-. Because the way in which you have answered earlier to my kisses and to my caresses he was saying to me everything opposite. The truth is that I would love, but I have left the horses ensillados before coming.
Lou gave a step backwards.
- Leave, I have many things that to do ... - it stammered.
Coltrain separated from the top sheet and started advancing towards her slowly with a wolfish smile in the lips.
- You prefer going to mount, or perhaps ...?
Lou gave himself turned average and ran to the bedroom to changing.
CHAPTER 9
The field was beautiful although the branches of the trees were naked, and the calm step of the horses was turning out to be very relaxing, even if the company was putting Lou somewhat nervous. All the time was going very consciously of the presence of Coltrain next to you, so highly and so elegantly, even to loins of a horse. It was so nice that in spite of only looking at it out of the corner of the eye he was feeling an itch in the stomach.
- How do you go? - he asked him.
- Well - answered she-, although she was doing centuries that it was not mounting - he confessed-. He had never imagined a doctor - rancher - he commented.
Coltrain outlined a half smile.
- In reality, compared with others of the zone it is quite small, but I have a hut of cattle of almost fifty heads.
- But: how can you them manage to take it? Our profession you grieve it leaves to us free time...
- Good, the truth is that I limit myself almost exclusively to the administration. Of the tasks of the mess in strict sense there take charge a foreman and some farmhands whom I have employed.
- And how did occur to you the idea of mounting a mess and of raising cattle?
He shrank of shoulders.
- i do not know it, I suppose that it had always been one of my sleep, since he was a kid - he told to him-. My grandfather had an old dairy cow, and I was loving leading her to grazing, to milk it...
Lou smiled on having imagined it.
- And your grandmother?: how was it?
- Oh, was a woman with a great heart, and a fabulous cook - answered him Coltrain-. It was doing the best cakes of the county. When my father went away for the bad way it gave them a great grief - he added wiggling the head-, and it is sad because when that happens, the whole world usually blames the persons who raised the child, but my grandparents were the very good people.
Coltrain did that his horse was going towards a way that was passing for between the pastizales, and Lou continued it. Meanwhile they were advancing, the doctor was going explaining to him the class of machinery that he had bought in the last years, and the technical innovations that it had applied.
- I am not so modernized as other ranchers - he said to him-, but I have spent a lot of time and strengthen to this, and am quite proud of what I have obtained. I have even a bull stud pure blood that has obtained several awards in the fairs that it has been mentioned in several magazines of cattle.
- it goes, of course that is impressive. Are you going to teach it to me?
- Really do you want to see it?
- You seem astonished - she laughed-. So, for your information, I like very much the animals. In fact, when I went out of the institute I was doubting between studying veterinarian or medicine.
And what was what made praise you for the human beings?
- I do not know it, but, but I have not repented of the election that I did - she answered sincerely.
When they came along with the stables, Coltrain did that h
is horse was stopping, dismantled and helped Lou to dismounting also. They tied the horses to the fence, and he led the young woman to the interior of the enormous building.
Lou observed that it was surprisingly clean, that the mangers were spacious and that the cows had a very healthy aspect. When they came to the manger that it was lodging to the bull about which he had spoken to him Coltrain, he verified that it had not exaggerated by no means. It was a magnificent copy, of reddish, and seemingly very docile hair, since it approached the fence and left that Coltrain was caressing the knob.
- She is of the Holy race Gertrudis: truth?-inquirió Lou fascinated.
The hand of Coltrain stopped on the knob of the animal.
- Golly, Lou, I am impressed.
- Good, for everything there has to be the first time.
Coltrain burst out laughing, but it looked at her in a special way, supporting the heel dela it jumps in the lowest crossbar of the fence.
- it is not the first time - he answered with gentleness-. You impressed me from the day in which you took to the hospital. It took a tuft of fair-haired hair and twisted it between his fingers-. You are wonderful - he said to him them looking at the eyes-, and every day that it spends I become convinced more of it. He had never imagined that we could have so many things in common. It is curious, we have spent together almost one year, but I have learned more of you in the latter weeks than in all these months.
- It has happened to me equally - she confessed him, lowering the sight to his thorax.
He was loving his way of walking, of speaking, the way in which the sombrero was getting soaked on an eye... He remembered the warmth of his arms surrounding it, and suddenly he felt cold.
Coltrain was studying it in silence, fascinated by the changes of expression in his sweet features, and he was thinking about reading in them the same emotions that were waving him in this moment.
Lou allowed to escape a sigh and outlined a shy smile. Coltrain extended an arm and Lou accepted without doubting this mute invitation, being embraced to him and narrowing against his body. It closed the eyes and supported the cheek in his breast, listening to the beats of his heart.
Coltrain was feeling strange, although on the other hand having Lou in his arms was looking like the most natural of the world. It attracted her more towards yes and caressed absent-mindedly his hair.
- The next week it is already a Christmas - it murmured.
- I know it - answered Lou-. What do you usually make twenty-five, are you going to visit any friend or invite them to your house?
- i have spent the last ones with Jane - he remembered Coltrain. Lou was tightened lightly, but he did not warn it-, but since he was marrying last year, limited to preparing something for me of dinner and to taking it opposite to the TV set, seeing ancient movies.
Lou did not say anything. Although he had heard the people speaking about the relation of Coltrain with Jane throughout the year, he had never thought that they were intimate up to this point. That thought depressed her.
Coltrain, nevertheless, was not thinking about the past Christmastime, but about those of the same year.
- Good, and of that time: where are we going to celebrate twenty-five, in your house, or in lamía? - he asked him, as if it was giving for fact that had to be like that.
That one cheered Lou up a little.
- we might celebrate it in mine - he proposed.
- in agreement - said he-. And I you promise to help to prepare the dinner.
Lou smiled.
- It will be agreeable to have someone in spite of whom sharing it - it murmured. His Christmastime had never been too happy.
- I will make sure that should touch us the custody in Christmas night. This way we will have free twenty-five - he promised him.
Coltrain felt a very agreeable sensation that had never experimented, a sensation of mutual understanding with Lou who had not felt not even with Jane. It supported the cheek in the head of the young woman, and a sigh of contentment allowed to escape. It was like to come to house. All his life had been looking for something that he had not managed to find, and for the first time it had the sensation of being closer to it that never.
Lou's arms became closer concerning his waist, it approached a little more him and his legs rubbed theirs. Cotrain raised the foot to the top crossbar so that Lou could become more comfortable, but the movement and the rubbing of his bodies excited and inspired it with brusqueness.
- He excuses - she murmured.
It did gesture of separating, but Coltrain retained it, supporting it for the hips.
- It is not your fault - he said to him-. It is something that I cannot avoid - he confessed him. It was fascinating that reaction so immediate that his body had when it was next to her-. Also, it was happening for a long drought.
Lou, unbeliever, lifted the face towards him.
- A long drought? - it repeated with a malicious smile-. With Nickie fluttering around you almost naked to obtain your attention?
Coltrain did not laugh as he was waiting, but it looked at her very seriously and planned with the index the bridge of his turned-up naricilla.
- It is these types of which they have adventures - he said to him-. And I am the flesh-colored tact as for my private life: do you know? - he added-. A time ago I met a widow in certain city. We made ours friends, and during a time we gave one to other a little that we needed the two, but that we did not want that it was penetrating the borders of the intimacy. Two years ago he married again, and since then I have concentrated on my work and my mess. There has been nobody any more.
Lou looked at it curious.
- And you were feeling comfortable doing it ... good, without being in love?
- He was feeling affection for her - told to him Coltrain-, and she was feeling it for me. We were not necessary to be in love.
, nevertheless, that explanation her did not convince Lou, and discomfort was removed. He understood to the moment.
- For you the love if it is something essential: is not it true, Lou?-inquirió quedamente-. Neither for you nor the most sweeping of the desires it would be enough without love - he added caressing the outline of his lips-. But you and I are an explosive combination ..., and you yes are won the love of me.
She supported the front in the hollow of his shoulder.
- yes - it admitted-, I love you, but not up to the point of being ready to be your lover.
- I know it.
- Then ours does not have any future.
Coltrain allowed to escape a laugh that nothing had of happy.
- Do you believe that? I finish of asking you to commit yourself with me.
- Coltrain, do not make fun of me - it requested him-, or there is just what...
He silenced her putting a finger on his lips.
- Allow me to finish - he said to him solemnly-. We might commit oneself and to marry in The New Year.
Lou looked at it of milestone in milestone, with the eyes as paltos.
- You are asking me that ... let's marry? - it stammered amazed.
Coltrain took it of the chin and investigated his worried chestnut-colored eyes.
- The idea of making love troubles you not even the half that the idea of the marriage: is not it like that? - adivinó-. Because the marriage implies a commitment, and you do not want to feel caught.
Lou contracted the face.
- The marriage of my parents was horrible - it mumbled-, and I would not like to finish as my mother.
- Lou, you are not your mother - he said to him and the cheek caressed him-, and I am not your father.
Lou remained quiet.
- You do not have why to worry too much - said to him Coltrain-. We will leave that these two weeks are happening, will happen together the Christmas Day, and we will speak already again about this.
- In agreement.
Coltrain inclined the head and kissed her with tenderness. On having done it, she narrowed against his body, but he to the ap
artó with a smile entertained in the lips.
- Nothing of that - it murmured-. From now on we are going to know each other better before leaving that our glands intervene.
- Our glands!
- Does not he remember what they are the glands, confers a doctorate? - he said to him in a seductive tone, taking it as the waist and bringing it over to his body-. Leave to me that they are described ... - it murmured raising the hands towards his bosoms and drawing arabesques in them.
- I believe that already me agreement - answered she between laughs-: for, you tickle me!
Coltrain finished that playful torture and interlaced his hand with that of her, taking her towards the place where they had made the horses tied.
On the following morning they had again shift of visits in the hospital, and It damages it tried to return again to the load, but when they found her in one of the corridors, Coltrain took Lou's hand in his.
- Good morning, It Damages - he greeted her educadamente.
As he was waiting, his ex-fiancée had remained bewildered.
- Good morning, doctors - he answered unsteady, without being able to detach the look of his interlaced hands.
- Lou and I committed ourselves yesterday - Coltrain announced.
It damages it turned pale, but one fixed them to force a smile.
- Oh: seriously? Good, I suppose that in this case he has me to congratulate you - he said riéndose-. And to think that I had hopes that you and I could recapture what existed between us in the past ...!
- The past is dead for me - he answered with steadfastness and it looked at her fixedly-, and I do not have the minor desire to return it to the life.
It damages it allowed to escape new uncomfortable sniggers.
- I see already - it spluttered. It lowered the sight towards Lou's left hand, interlaced with the right hand of Coltrain-. It has been a truly sudden commitment: not? - it pointed with spitefulness-, I see that yet you have no ring, Louise...
Coltrain pressed softly the hand of the young woman.
- When Lou has decided what class of ring he wants, I will buy it to him - he answered very calmly to Dana-. In end, he would love continuing chatting me here, but I have a lot of work for to do, and I suppose that you also, so... Wait for me in the foyer when you should have finished your visits, fondness - he said to Lou, kissing her in the cheek.
