“I’ll leave you and Judy to rest and freshen up for dinner. I’ll call back in an hour to escort you to the dining room. I’m going that the carriage and other servants are sent to the house directly,” my husband said as he walked out the door.
Judy helped me out of my traveling clothes and I sank into the tub filled with hot water. I was grateful to be able to wash the road off of me. We had been on a train for days from Boston and then the longest cross-country stagecoach ride of my life.
“Which gown would you like for dinner Miss?” Judy said as she opened my trunk.
“Let me think,” I said suddenly realizing that everything I had might be too formal for a place like this. All of my dinner dresses were silk satin and lace with intricate beadwork. I would be overdressed here and I did not want to call attention to myself.
“I think I will wear a day dress Judy. Nothing silk. Do you see my blue and white cotton dress with shell buttons in there?”
Judy rummaged around and found the blue dress. It would do. She laid it out near the screen with matching gloves and shoes. I would not wear any jewelry. It would just be too much.
I dunk my entire head in the tub and let my long dark hair soak in the scented water. When I emerged Judy was waiting with soap ready to wash my hair.
“Scrub good please. I feel like I have lots of dust in my hair,” I said as she went to work.
An hour later my husband came back to the room.
“You look lovely Willameena, except where are the jewels?”
“I didn’t think in a place like this it would do. Too much don’t you think?”
“Nonsense! I want to show you off. I want to show off my wealth. I will have my wife decorated like the prize she is!” he boasted as he crossed the room to my trunk.
He took out my locked jewelry box and unlocked it. He took out a big pear shaped dropped diamond that was hung on a piece of white satin ribbon. He tied it around my neck. Then he took out a sapphire and emeralds broach in the shape of a peacock and pinned it just under my cleavage. It was sure to call attention to his wife’s assets. This is how he always treated me, like a possession. I was not a person to him. I was simply part of his collection. It was a fate many women in my position faced.
“There, now we shall go down. Judy stay here and lock the door until our return. We can not have our possessions unguarded in the Wild West,” he said.
Lawrence escorted me down the stairs into the dining room.
“I’ve decided to have a welcoming party at our house next week. Tonight will be a good time to mingle amongst the small population of the elite here and invite them. So please feel free to invite whichever ladies you like too. I have already met Aidan Truman. He owns the biggest horse ranch here and probably my only rival. I invited him so that I can keep my competition close.”
“A party already?” I asked.
“Yes, I thought it would please you to have something to do.”
“Yes, I suppose so,” I said knowing what it really meant. He would be busy with business and never home. I was annoyed.
We walked into the dining room and walked to a long table that was already full of men and wives in fine clothes. However, I was right to choose the gown I wore because no one was in silk. The men stood up as my husband introduced me. Then he announced our party at our Carson ranch. It was strange to be announcing a party when I myself had not seen the house or ranch. My husband moved toward two chairs left open for us. We were the newcomers and therefore the guests of honor tonight. Then I saw him. He was standing with his chair behind him. It was the man that had stared at me in the saloon. My husband motioned for me to take the chair near the man and said, “Allow me to introduce my wife Willameena Carson. This is Mr. Aidan Trumer and his sister Isabella.”
“How do you do?” I said to them both. My heart was pounding. If my husband new the glances we had exchanged earlier he would not be sitting me next to this man.
Then we all sat. My husband sat on my right side, Aidan on my left side, and his sister on his left. We sat and dinner began.
I was very nervous. My husband immediately talked to the men around him talking of cattle and horses and such. Aidan took this opportunity to talk to me quietly and privately.
“You come from Boston?” he said in a low sultry voice.
I turned my head and looked at him directly. I was immediately lost in his eyes. He had this look to him like he was going to devour me.
“Yes, and you sir?”
“Aidan, please call me Aidan. I come from here. My parents came here from New York, but I was born and raised here.”
“That’s astonishing. I’ve never met a true frontiersman,” I said.
“Cowboy Mrs. Carson. I’m a true cowboy. I know horses and the land unlike any other man. Do you like riding?” he said. Every word he said came out like foreplay. As if he was caressing my body with his words.
I swallowed hard as I couldn’t look away from him. I was hypnotized by his good looks. I wanted him. I didn’t know what was overcoming me. I had never met anyone like him. He had this appeal to him.
“Yes, I do,” I said in a shaky whisper. I was so nervous.
“You must come have tea with me when you are all settled!” Isabella said loudly while leaning forward so that I could see her behind her brother. It jolted me out of the spell I was under with Aidan.
I cleared my throat. “Yes, thank you Ms. Trumer I would be delighted too.”
She smiled a polite smile at me and then gave her brother a look that said, -stop flirting!
I was embarrassed that I had been caught. I turned my attention to the food and the people across the table. I did not to talk to Aidan again with the exception of a few polite words. Though I could tell when he was staring at me. It was very obvious. Strangely dinner here was a lot like Boston and I fit right in with this society. Then it happened. Loud shots fired outside. The women panicked. A man ran in and said.
“There’s a shoot out on the street. Outlaws, please everyone get to your rooms. Those that are not staying with us please get down and stay low.”
My husband grabbed my arm and rushed me out of the room and up the stairs. I got one quick glance back at Aidan. This was a wild place.

CHAPTER ONE
The Plan
Now that I was twenty, I no longer felt invisible to guys like I had my entire life when I was in school. Now it was the summer before I was starting college and there was still one guy that always treated me like I was invisible and it still bothered me. He was coming home for a few weeks before I headed off to college. My mom had remarried a few years ago giving me a new stepbrother. I hated him at first, but the way he ignored me made me want to get him to notice me. Over the years, that want blossomed into something else.
My stepbrother, Austin always treated me like I was nothing. He treated me like I was invisible. It bothered me more than it should. Any stepsister would want to act like their new family member didn’t exist. However, for some reason it really got to me. I didn’t want to admit to myself the reason for this, because it was very taboo and forbidden. I didn’t want to admit it to myself because it would mean that I was wild and a bad person.
So when I found out that Austin was returning home after being gone for a couple of years something snapped in me. I made it my mission to get him to notice me. I had a plan and it was a very bad plan.
When Austin was in school he was the most popular guy in school. Girls would throw themselves at him. I caught a glimpse of this when he was a senior and I was a freshman. The popularity always went to his head. It infuriated me that his arrogance and conceit also turned me on. It was wrong to think that, but I would watch him with his group of elite friends. I was jealous of all the girls that got to sample him and how it just made his head bigger and bigger. One time I saw a girl giving him a blowjob. I watched the entire thing and it made me jealous and it turned me on. That was when I knew. I wanted him.
He treated me like I was invisible and I hated him for it. After he graduated he went off to college. Now he’s returning home and I’m a completely different person. I’m no longer a skinny girl I was nineteen and a woman now. He will notice me now and not treat me like I’m invisible because I have a plan to make him see me as the sexual being that I am, even if it’s wrong to do so.
The day he came home I was wearing my tiny blue jean shorts and a thin white t-shirt that was tight across my chest. I tied my long dark hair into a high ponytail and wore lots of mascara and cherry lip-gloss. I went outside on a hot day knowing that he would be coming home at any moment. I pulled a bucket out of the garage, sponges, and then grabbed the hose. I blasted the stereo to my favorite music and I began to wash my car in the driveway. I made sure to get myself nice and wet. This was the first part of my plan to make Austin see me as a sexy woman.
I washed the car in slow strokes stretching my body across the hood sticking my ass out. Then I heard, “Melissa? Is that you?”
I stood up slowly and seductively and turned toward him. My white t-shirt was drenched.
“Austin!” I yelled. I dropped the wet sponge, ran to him, and jumped on him. I wrapped my legs around him and my arms around his neck in the most innocent stepsisterly love of a hug that I could muster. But I knew what I was really doing. He wrapped his strong arms around me as he held me up. Then I slowly slid down his body and pulled myself away.
“I didn’t know you were coming today! I thought you were coming tomorrow,” I said innocently batting my eyelashes at him.
“No, today. Look you got me all wet,” he said looking at me up and down again. I looked at him in his tight grey t-shirt and tight blue jeans. His body was still perfect as it had always been through out school and he had barely changed at all. His large brown eyes were like a pouting puppy dog and his full soft lips were sensuous, he had long shoulder length hair with soft waves in it. He basically looked like the lead singer of some cool indie-band.
“You’ve changed Melissa,” he said.
“I have? How?” I asked.
“You’ve…grown,” he said.
“You look the same. Mom and dad are inside. I’m going to finish up here,” I said.
“I’d rather stay out here and watch you,” he said.
I pretended not to hear his last comment and I bent over slowly grabbing the sponge out of the bucket. Then I squatted down next to the door and washed it. I knew that he was watching and it felt good. My first scheme to get him to notice me was extreme and it worked. However, it was nothing compared to my next plan. I knew that plan would drive him crazy.
That night I went to bed in my tight little tank top and small silk shorts with ruffles. I was in bed watching television when there was a knock at my door.
“Come in!” I yelled.
Austin walked in. I nearly gasped at the sight of him. He was shirtless and only in pajama pants. His smooth skin was toned and tigh
t against his six-pack abs. He definitely had the body of a professional athlete. I felt my body responding and getting wet at first sight. He sat on the edge of my bed and smiled a brilliant smile.
“What are you up to Melissa?” he asked.
“Just watching a movie before going to bed,” I said.
“What are you doing tomorrow? Should we go do something together? It’s going to be hot. Maybe we can go swimming or go to the movies?” he asked.
I smiled on the inside knowing that I had got to him. He was craving my attention and I had the wet t-shirt and my car wash performance to thank for it. Instead he would be using his first day back to be with his old high school buddies and be worshipped by them, but now he wanted to be with me. It felt glorious.
“Oh I can’t. I have plans with a friend,” I said.
“Doing what?” he asked.
“That’s none of your business,” I said flirtatiously.
“Alright keep your secrets,” he said.
I knew my plan was working because he was talking to me the way he talked to his many girlfriends in school. It was obvious to me.
“Can I watch with you?” he asked.
“Okay,” I said.
I moved over in bed and he slid in beside me but stayed on top of the covers instead of under them like me. We watched the movie in silence but I could see him glance at me every so often. Once again I pretended not to notice, but it was hard to resist him. I could smell his strong manly scent and feel the heat radiating off of him. It turned me on and I wanted him to reach over and touch me. I wanted to bend over and put the bulge of his cock in my mouth. I could see the mound of it through his thin pajamas pants I cast side-glances at it. Being in the dark on my bed felt wrong and sexy. It was hard not to jump on top of him and straddle him even though our parents could walk in at any moment. Finally the movie was over and I faked being asleep with my eyes closed and my head to one side. I faked it cause I wanted to see what he did. I heard the television being turned off and then I felt him on my bed again. He grabbed the covers and pulled them up to my chest and his long fingers caressed the sides of my breasts as he did so. It was a struggle not to sigh and touch him, but I kept it under control. Then he left the room and closed the door behind him. I opened my eyes and then touched myself. I thought about him taking me and touched my clitoris until I quietly came. Only then could I sleep.
