Damned if I wasn’t still stiff, but I threw a corner of the blanket across my lap and nodded. Annalee opened the door, and there stood Uncle Hank, lookin’ like a thundercloud. He give Annalee a look that sent her scurryin’ out of the room and then come to stand beside the bed.
“What’re you gettin’ up to, boy?” he asked.
Well, I couldn’t tell him. I’d have had to let him know that I wasn’t gettin’ any choice in the matter, and what kind of gentleman tells tales like that on his girl? I shook my head.
“You watch yourself in the boss’s house,” Hank said.
“Yessir. What can I do for you?”
“I needed to check for sure which mare to put in with the stud tonight.”
I felt like rollin’ over and poundin’ on the bed. I knew which mare I wanted put with me for stud. “Put White’s Etta James with him, Hank. Thought I told you. What’s her barn name again?”
“You maybe did, but I forgot. She’s Miss Priss, right?”
“Oh, yeah. Anything else? I’m ready to get some shuteye.”
“No, go on and sleep. ‘Night, Cody.”
I was layin’ there wishin’ Hank had better timin’ when the door opened real soft. It was dark in the room, but I could smell Annalee’s strawberry scent clear across the room. Mr. Johnson woke up right away and stood up to greet her. A click told me the door was shut, and another that she’d locked it. Next a flare of a match, and then she set a candle down on the nightstand.
“Hi, honey,” she said. “Your uncle came in before I was finished with you.”
“He sure did. I’ve been regrettin’ that ever since.”
“Well, we could start over.”
“I’d like that.”
In the candlelight, her skin looked all soft and rosy on her cheeks, and for once her hair was down. It fell down her back all wavy and soft, catchin’ the light in the waves. I reached for a strand of it and ran it through my fingers, smellin’ them strawberries comin’ off it. Annalee had changed into her nightclothes, and was wearin’ a long drapey kind of thing. “Can I take this off?” I asked.
“I’ll do it,” she whispered. While I watched, she pulled it off over her head, shakin’ out her hair as she pulled it through the neckline and settin’ loose more strawberry smell. Underneath, she had on a little silky short thing with tiny straps. I wanted that off her, too, but the way her boobs was swayin’ underneath was mesmerizin’. She climbed up on the bed with me.
“What are we gonna do about these pajamas?” she asked.
“I guess I’m gonna need help gettin’ ‘em off.”
“Okay.”
I didn’t have no shirt on. The pajama bottoms was loose enough to go on and off over the leg cast, but the skivvies underneath might not. I’d worry about that when the time come, maybe even take the cast off if I could get her to agree to it. Annalee put her hands on my bare chest and ran ‘em over my muscles, sending shivers down my spine and makin’ my nipples hard. “Ooh, that’s nice,” she breathed.
I wanted more than anything for her to come into my arms, so I could do the same thing for her, but she had other ideas. She eased the waistband of those pj’s over my erection, and worked ‘em down my hips, over the cast, and finally off. I guess she decided to cross the skivvies bridge when she come to it, too, because all of a sudden, she was back in the saddle, straddlin’ me and leanin’ in for a kiss. I almost forgot she hadn’t told me I could touch her yet, and my hands drifted up to ease my fingertips along the sides of her tits.
“No, no, no,” she said. “Wait.”
This time I groaned real loud. Waitin’ was gonna kill me, or make me come early. Maybe I should tell her that. I hadn’t been with a woman or a girl since Cass, and that was too many years ago. Just no opportunity here on the ranch, unless I wanted to try to beat Uncle Hank’s time with Janet. I didn’t count my hand; it was different.
Annalee leaned down and dragged her chest across mine. I could feel her nipples through the silky material, hard like mine, only a whole lot bigger. “Please,” I said, real low.
“Please what, honey?” Her voice was like honey, all warm and sweet. I wanted to drink her up.
“Please, can I touch ‘em? Or bring ‘em up here where I can reach so I can suck ‘em. Come on, Annalee, sweetheart, you’re killin’ me.”
“Don’t you want this nightgown off first?” she said, all sweet and innocent. But there was nothin’ innocent about the way she was lookin’ at me, lust written all over her face. I reckoned mine matched.
“More than anything,” I answered.
“Well, why don’t you take it off, then?” she invited.
I didn’t wait for no other invitation. My hands went up to slip those little bitty straps off her shoulders, and pulled ‘em down her arms. I watched as the silky material clung for a second on her hard nipples, and then slipped off, showin’ me the finest sight I’d ever seen. Just like in a dream I’d had once, she had big, soft boobs, with big pinkish-brown tips and long nipples right in the center. Just lookin’ at her I almost shot my wad.
Almost scared this was a dream too, I brought one hand up and cupped a boob, heftin’ it to feel its weight in my hand. Annalee sighed and dropped her head back, thrustin’ that nipple closer to my lips. With a feelin’ like I mighta been drownin’, I put both hands on her bare back and pulled her closer, nuzzlin’ her tit, and then took the nipple in my mouth. Oh, God, much more of that and I wasn’t gonna last. I let go of her nipple and kissed the other one, then kissed her on the mouth and pushed my tongue inside.
“Sweetheart, it’s been a long time for me. If I’m gonna be any good for you, we’re gonna have to get to it.” That probably wasn’t the most romantic thing I could’ve said, but it was God’s own truth.
She smiled at me then, and said, “Just a minute.” She leaned over and took somethin’ off the nightstand, and then I heard the rip of the condom package.
“Where’d you get that?” I said.
“Your Uncle Hank came looking for me after he left you,” she said. “He said, ‘If you’re gonna take advantage of my boy, you be sure to be safe.’” Her silver-bell soundin’ laugh came then. “And I told him, ‘you’d better give me a lot, then, ‘cause I’m gonna take advantage while I can.’ I think it embarrassed him.”
“Probly. So, did he give you a lot?”
“Just a couple, but he said he’d be back with more. I’m beginning to like your uncle, Cody.”
“Wish I could tell you the feelin’s mutual. He thinks you’re trouble.”
“Well, he may be right. Now shut up and kiss me some more. I think we took care of your problem.”
Sure enough, that little bit of conversation had eased the urgency, and I went back to playin’ with those boobs and kissin’ Annalee like we had all night. Before long, though, in fact, in only a minute or so, I was rarin’ to go again. “Annalee…” I said.
“Sure, baby,” she whispered. Next thing I felt was her raisin’ up off me on her knees, and her soft hands pushin’ my skivvies down, easin’ em over me like I might break. Come to think of it, I might’ve exploded if she wasn’t careful. Then, she took my cock in her soft hand and rolled the condom on, ever so careful. It was all I could do to lay still while she touched me. It had never been like this with Cass. Yeah, it was good, but any sex would be good for a seventeen year old boy. I didn’t remember havin’ these waves of tender feelin’s for her, like I was feelin’ with Annalee, but tonight’s excitement was just like back then, white lightnin’ racin’ through my veins.
When Annalee settled onto me, pullin’ my dick in like a calf slippin’ through the chute, I just about lost my mind. I wondered if she could feel me tremblin’ like a newborn foal with the feelin’ of her surroundin’ me and squeezin’ my cock so sweet. I knew I wasn’t gonna last long this time, but I didn’t want it to end. So I was as still as I could be, just feelin’ her, all warm and moist, and kissin’ her when she leaned forward for it.
I reached up again to touch her boobs, and felt her clamp down on me with her pussy, just about makin’ me lose it again. But it felt so good, I wanted more. I flicked my thumbs across her nipples, and sure enough, she clamped down again. I wasn’t in control after that. Without me thinkin’ about it, my hips started pushin’ up, over and over, faster and faster, tryin’ to climb right up into Annalee’s body, and she was grindin’ down on me at the same time. When she cried out and gripped my cock with her pussy muscles, harder than ever, I couldn’t hold back. I come harder than I’d ever come before, harder than with Cass, harder than with my own hand. I didn’t know I could come that hard and that long. It shook me right down to my innards, and the strangled noise I could hear turned out to be comin’ from me. When I flopped back, all my strength gone, I had my arms around my woman, tight as tight could be. I didn’t plan on ever lettin’ her go.
Annalee laid there on my chest for a while, breathin’ kinda heavy and makin’ little noises like a newborn kitten. “Are you okay?” I asked.
“I’m better than okay,” she murmured. “Cody, I never felt anything like that before.”
It was kinda an indelicate question, but that made me wonder about her ex-husband. She had two kids, after all, and I didn’t think she got ‘em without havin’ sex. And what she said left me wonderin’ too about what I was supposed to say to that. I couldn’t think of anything I thought she’d wanta hear, so I just stayed quiet.
“Cody?”
“Yeah, sweetheart?”
“I thought you went to sleep.”
“Naw, I’m just thinkin’,” I said.
“What are you thinking about?”
“You, mostly,” I answered, squeezin’ her tighter. “You’re so beautiful, Annalee. You take my breath away.”
“You took mine away, too,” she said.
“Aw, now how’d I do that?”
“You know what an orgasm is?”
“Well, yeah. Why?”
“I didn’t. I hadn’t ever had one before we started goin’ to the hayloft,” she said. “I had to ask Charity what I was feeling.”
“You’re kiddin’! But, you was…”
“Married? I know. But it was never sweet and tender like this. More what Charity called slam, bam, thank you, ma’am. Only there were never any thanks. Especially when my husband used sex as punishment.”
“He what? How…”
“I’ll tell you sometime. Sorry I brought it up. I shouldn’t have spoiled this time.”
“Aw, sweetheart, you didn’t spoil nothin’. I’ll admit I’m curious, but you don’t have to tell me nothin’ you don’t want to.”
“Thanks, Cody. And thanks for the orgasm.” That made me laugh.
“Well, thank you for mine,” I joked.
All of a sudden she pulled away from me and said, “You want another one?”
“Hell, yes,” I said. “Only this time, it won’t be so quick.”
“It was perfect, honey.” Her voice got all dreamy, and she started tellin’ me how much she liked my hands and lips on her nipples. Hearin’ that mighta been the hottest thing that ever happened to me, with the possible exception of that first time with her. She rolled around until she was cuddled up into my shoulder, and then pulled my free hand down where she was still all hot and wet.
“Wait, sweetheart,” I said. “We cain’t use this same rubber again. We need to get rid of it.”
Without a word, she carefully rolled it down and tied the end, then dropped it overboard beside the bed. “I’ll get it in a little while,” she said. Then she snuggled back into my arm and I started strokin’ her, cuppin’ her cheek in my hand, and then draggin’ it down over her boobs, squeezin’ one and then the other, rollin’ her nipple between my thumb and finger. I had her squirmin’ good, and then I went back between her legs with my hand, and found the middle of her, dippin’ my finger in and out while she gasped my name. God, it was sweet. Mr. Johnson didn’t take no time at all to wake up from his little nap. While I played with her, Annalee played with me, strokin’ and squeezin’ my dick until I thought I’d die if I couldn’t put it in her.
“Cody,” she said.
“Yeah, baby,” I answered, not sure I wanted to start a conversation right now.
“I’ve been learning about sex. Charity got some books and DVDs for us.”
“Oh?”
“Yes, and there’s something I thought I’d like to try.”
“I’m game, long as I can do it with this broke leg.”
“You won’t have to do anything, hon. Just tell me you don’t mind.”
“Well, I don’t know what you’ve got in mind, sweetheart, but I’m sure I won’t mind.”
Annalee sat up and twisted to face me, a beautiful, sexy smile on her face. Then she scooted down, and bent over me so her soft, silky hair covered my crotch. Before I could figure out those feelin’s, her warm mouth came down over my cock like a…like I don’t know what. “Ahhhhh,” I moaned. I’d heard tell of this, but it hadn’t never happened to me. It was ten times, a hundred times, better than I could’ve imagined. When she started workin’ her tongue and suckin’ I couldn’t do nothing but grab the sheets in both hands and hang on. Then she stopped and took her mouth off me, leavin’ me desperate for more.
“Are you sure you don’t mind?” Now I could hear the catch of laughter in her voice. She was teasin’! I could do that, too.
“Aw, it’s okay I guess,” I said. Then I doubled right up when she punched me in the stomach. “Hey!”
“Tell me you love it.”
“God, baby, I love it. I ain’t never felt nothin’ like it. I’m wonderin’ if I done died and gone to heaven. Please, please do it some more.”
“That’s more like it,” she murmured, and went back to doin’ it. I don’t think I woulda lasted even a second or two if we hadn’t taken the edge off with the first time, so I was glad we had. The more she sucked, the tighter my muscles got, ‘til I wondered if I was gonna have a cramp and ruin everything. My breath got tight and short, and I was moanin’ like a sick calf. When I started to tense to come, I pulled her off me with both hands.
Annalee give me a slack-mouthed stare that like to’ve scared me to death. “Are you okay?”
“Fuck me,” she said. I never woulda thought I’d hear that word come outta that pretty mouth, but it nearly sent me over. I pulled her up and positioned her just right, then pulled her down on my cock like my life depended on it. Her pussy squeezed me so hard I thought I’d come right then, but I managed to hold off until she tensed up and gave a little scream, while squeezin’ me even harder. Then I shot off, forgettin’ all about needin’ a condom.
Annalee was chantin’ “Oh, God, oh God, oh God.” She collapsed onto my chest where I held her and rocked her until she could breathe again, with her long, silky, strawberry-smellin’ hair drifting up to tickle my nose and get in my mouth.
Maybe it wasn’t the best timin’ but after awhile, I said, “I think we forgot somethin’.”
“What?” she said, and then, “Oh, God!” again, but this time with a different tone. I felt real bad when I realized how scared she was.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart. No matter what, I’m gonna take care of you.”
I never saw a mood change so fast.
“Cody Wayne, you can’t even take care of yourself right now. You better not have got me pregnant!”
“Well, it seems to me that we was both wantin’ the same thing. Why didn’t you think about it?”
“I don’t know,” she said, kinda like she had a misery.
“It’ll be okay.” I was whistlin’ in the dark, but I had to comfort her somehow. What we’d just done seemed like the most important thing I’d ever done in my life. I said that to her.
“Oh, honey, that’s so sweet. I’m sorry I got mad. Maybe it will be okay.” She sounded so sad, I just wanted to hold her, but she said she had to go, before the sun come up and caught her there in my room instead of her own. “I’ll
look at a calendar, see if we’re safe.”
“Okay. But, sweetheart? If somethin’ did happen, I’m gonna take care of you. I’ll find a way.”
She touched my cheek, put on her nightclothes, blew out the candle and left, forgetting to pick up the used condom she’d thrown on the floor next to the bed. To tell the truth, I’d forgot about it too.
The next mornin’ before I’d woke up, she was back. She spotted the condom on the floor and said, “Oh, for heaven’s sake.” Then she picked it up and took it in to flush it down the toilet, before she came back and kissed me. I guessed I was forgiven.
“Good news, honey,” she said. “I shouldn’t be fertile right now. It’s been a little off, since I was still nursing Tali up ‘til a couple of weeks ago, but I think we’re safe.”
“That’s real good, sweetheart. Now Uncle Hank won’t kill me after all his warnin’s.” I felt like jumpin’ up and down to be back in Annalee’s good graces, but of course, I couldn’t.
I don’t know whether Annalee told anyone about us, or they was just observant. I sure didn’t tell nobody. But it was plain as day that when the door was locked, everyone knew not to come knockin’ on it. There was an unending supply of condoms in the nightstand, and Annalee come in to me almost every night. The only thing that coulda made it better was if I could’ve been in charge once in a while. Annalee still had me where she wanted me, helpless to do anything but follow her lead. I only minded for a minute most of the time, though. What that woman could do with her mouth and her pussy had me under a spell all right. And all I had to do was lay back and enjoy it. Made me feel like a king or somethin’.
Not that I didn’t try to do my best to make her feel good, too. Once she showed me what she wanted, I got real good at finding that little bump between her legs that made her gasp and shake. I even talked her into puttin’ her knees on either side of my head and lettin’ me lick her there ‘til she screamed. I didn’t know if that was perverted, but if it felt as good to her as her takin’ me in her mouth did to me, I didn’t care.
