"Remind me." Arness smiled.

"More sex?" Four asked.
"Well—" Tanja hesitated and giggled. "I don't mind if I do."
Four stretched his arms and legs out by the bedposts, obviously eager to be bound. She really did need to tell him you didn't have to be tied for sex. She would tell him. Soon. Tanja bound his arms and heard him sigh.
The howls and screams outside their room were forgotten as she ran her hands over his torso. She couldn't believe she'd gotten so lucky.

Carefully, Dorinda placed the huge key in the front door and forcefully turned it. With bushwhackers about, it paid to be careful.
The lights were finally off in the guesthouse where the newlyweds had been put to bed. Watching that had gotten everyone riled up. The lights were on at the Hen House. Upstairs, in Patroness Morgena's room, Dorinda could hear the noises.
Dorinda padded her way toward her bedroom. Someone on the ranch had to be sensible.
She'd made do with pets for sex during the last few nights, but not anymore.
Dorinda turned off the light.
She might as well relax now. It had been an unusual day. The wedding had turned the whole ranch on its head. Foolish idea, but fun. That Salla was going to keep things in a hubble-bubble for a good long time. Salla was already nattering on to her mama about changing how pets were treated, even saying more pets than Primary should be freed. Wanting to change how the whole ranch was run. Ridiculous, but the girl was persistent. Everything would be different if the patroness was indulgent enough to give in.
Thank Goddess you could depend on some things. And thank Goddess for that other young woman showing up when she did. Dorinda couldn’t believe she could get a talented mechanic’s services for little more than room and board. But you’d have thought Dorinda had offered her the planet when, guilty over such a good bargain, Dorinda had thrown in the services of any of the spare pets.
The mechanic girl—Tanja—had been in bed with that new pet almost before Dorinda had finished speaking. Dorinda shrugged. Another foolish woman. Why didn’t more females realize how much easier things were when you had sex without pets?
Dorinda crawled into bed and flicked on the vibrator. It didn’t take long. Soon her female howls of pleasure wafted up into the night, joining the ranch’s chorus.

"Adan?" Arness caressed his bare shoulder. "Adan?"
No response. She bent her head and kissed his cheek.
One hand reached out to pull her down flat on top of him. Arness smiled as his lips lazily began to nuzzle her ear.
"Are you trying to kill me?" Adan asked.
"Not at the moment," Arness said. "I just wondered if you liked this wedding business."
"I liked it well enough. I liked the ending a lot. Watching Primary and Salla go to bed got you worked up."
"Me? You were the one who dragged me to the bedroom."
"Maybe." He smiled without opening his eyes and nipped at her jaw, then sucked the tiny bite. Arness began to shiver again.
"Adan. Stop. This is important."
"Mmmm. Yes."
"Adan, I'm starting a new profession and I don't know if I'll do well at it. Things might not be easy at first."
"You'll be fine."
"Adan! Shut up. This is probably too early, but I want to know if you'd be willing to marry me even if I'm not sure of the future."
"Another wedding?" Adan looked thoughtful. "You are trying to kill me, aren't you. If the alcohol doesn't do it, the sex will."
"Is that yes or no?"
"You told me to shut up."
Arness growled and shook him a little. Within seconds she was pinned to the bed.
"I'll think about it," he said.
"You are impossible. I can find another husband."
"No you can't. I accept. You need me. Who else will help you find outlaws and make love the way I can?"
Arness smiled as Adan slid into her body. He was arrogant and annoying, but exciting. Really, why would a woman want to have sex with a mere pet? This was so much better.
