An hour later, they were at the barn, walking their horses out towards the pasture. When they got outside, Cole helped Claire mount Nellie and then he got on Dudley.
Cole smiled over at her as they got going, "I want to take you up the mountain today. There is a spot with an amazing view where I thought we could stop for our picnic."
"Really? That sounds wonderful!" Claire grinned back, "I can't wait for you to see what I made for lunch. I think you're really going to like it."
"I know I will. So far you haven't made one thing that I haven't loved," Cole replied, "Every man should have his own sexy chef. It really is the best."
"How about a sexy massage therapist?"
"Nope. Not nearly as good," Cole shook his head, "Unless she was also a chef."
Claire laughed and then grew quiet for a moment, "I've been missing you lately. We haven't had nearly as much time together as I'd like."
"Me too, which is crazy in a way, because we're never far from each other."
"I know," Claire replied, "I'm so greedy when it comes to you. I want to be right with you every minute. All day at the restaurant, there is a part of me that is waiting for you to come walking through the door. I am hopelessly in love with you, Cowboy."
"I'm glad it's not just me. I must look at my clock one hundred times every morning waiting for lunch just so I can see you."
He rode his horse close to hers and then took hold of Nellie's reigns. He stopped both horses easily and then leaned over to her to kiss her.
Claire lifted her hand to his cheek as they kissed for a long time. When they stopped, Cole looked at her, his hazel eyes shining with love, "God, you're beautiful," he said, "I will never get tired of looking at your face." He paused to stare at her, "Although, I do like your ass too."
"Who could blame you? I've been told it’s flawless," Claire replied laughing.
They rode for a while in silence. Claire took in the beautiful view of the blue sky set against the rugged mountain, the sounds of the gurgling creek, the birds singing and the feeling of the fresh, crisp air on her face. She felt completely at peace and in love as she turned back to look at Cole.
He had been watching her for a while, "You know one of my favourite things about you, Claire, is how you enjoy the simple things. You never miss out because you are always open to life."
"I get that from my mom," Claire smiled thinking of her, "She could never walk past a lilac bush without stopping to smell it. And she never seemed to be in too much of a rush to let us pick dandelions or chase butterflies when we were little."
"I wish I had met her. Your dad too," Cole said.
"Me too, Cole. It sometimes seems hard for me to believe that my parents will never meet the most important man in my life," she said, her voice breaking. She rode for a moment and then turned back to him, "They would have adored you."
"I hope so," Cole said, "I hope I can be everything they wanted for you."
"You are," Claire said. "This might sound nuts, but sometimes I think they handpicked you for me."
"That doesn't sound nuts to me. I hope they did," Cole said.
They turned onto a trail that started up the mountain. Claire turned to him, "Is this one of the trips you make on trail rides?"
"No," Cole said, "Some parts are pretty steep and the weather has to be just perfect. If it's at all wet, it can be a bit dangerous. We should be okay today, I checked the forecast and there's no sign of rain. I'll stay behind you on the way up and go ahead on the way back, just in case though."
"So you can stare at my ass on the way up and I can stare at yours on the way back?"
"I get the better end of that deal," Cole replied, chuckling.
"I don't know about that. Have you ever seen your ass?" Claire asked.
As they rode along up the mountain, Cole became quiet.
"You okay back there?" Claire asked.
"I'm great," Cole replied, "Just mesmerized by the view."
Claire stood up in the saddle and gave her hips a little wiggle.
Cole gave a low whistle, "You better stop that, Ms. Hatley, or you're gonna get us lost."
Claire laughed, turning her head to face him, "Maybe I should try a little strip tease, horseback-style?"
"On second thought, knowing where you're going is highly overrated."
A few minutes later, they reached a grassy clearing on the mountainside. A small waterfall trickled down, leading to a pool of water and then to another waterfall. Claire stopped and turned her horse back to Cole, "Please tell me this is where we are stopping for lunch. This might be the most beautiful place I've ever been."
"Yup. We're here," Cole said, getting off Dudley in one powerful move. He dropped the reigns and walked over to Claire, holding his hands out to ease her down from her saddle. He untied the rolled up picnic blanket and the cooler bags containing their lunch and walked over to a spot next to the pool of water. The horses followed, stopping to drink from the cool, clear pool.
Claire walked over and helped unload the food. Cole sat down and watched in anticipation to see what she had brought. First she took out two bottles of Strongbow cider, followed by brie and crackers, two apples, a knife and small cutting board. She handed the knife and board to Cole, "Would you mind slicing the apples for us?" she asked.
"Not a bit," he said.
Claire took out two plates and some cutlery and then a small container of red pepper jelly. She arranged the crackers and apple slices on the plates in an artful display, then cut the brie and placed it on the crackers, topping it with the red pepper jelly.
"Your appetizer, sir," she said, handing him a plate.
"So this lunch has more than one course? Good thing I wasn't in charge of food. It would have been a can of baked beans and some potato chips."
"Damn, that's the next two courses."
Cole tried to open the bottle, realizing it wasn't a twist off.
"Oh crap," Claire said, "Those aren't twist offs? Sorry babe, I didn't even think of that."
"No problem," Cole said, grabbing a butter knife and popping the tops off, "Good thing I'm here or you'd be thirsty all day."
"Oh no, I'd be fine. I can open a bottle with my eye socket, but I don't like to do it around men I'm dating. I've been told it's not that sexy."
"What! Seriously?" Cole asked.
"No, not seriously," Claire laughed, "That would be gross. I would have been thirsty all day."
He had a long drag on his drink and then tasted the appetizer, "Mmmm, that's good. What kind of jelly is that?"
"Red pepper," Claire replied.
"You should serve this at the restaurant."
"If you like it, I will. Except, I'll bake the brie first and put it on toasted French bread maybe."
"Your mind works fast when it comes to food," Cole said, admiring her.
"And other things..." Claire replied, taking a bite of her food.
"Oh I know. I can hardly keep up," Cole answered, "But I'm willing to die trying."
He leaned over and gave her a lingering kiss, sucking a little on her bottom lip as he pulled away.
Claire opened her eyes, "Ummm, where are you going? You can't just give a girl a kiss like that and then expect her to go back to eating."
"That was just a sex appetizer. I made it myself. You'll get the main course later."
"You're like a sex genius. You definitely know how to whet a girl's appetite," Claire said, licking her lips suggestively.
"Mmmm," Cole groaned, "Don't give me that look. I'm really hungry."
"Suit yourself, Cowboy, but I may have to ride back down the mountain and wait for the UPS guy," Claire pouted, getting out the muffaletta sandwich she had made. She unwrapped it and put a quarter of it on Cole's plate, mumbling under her breath, "He's supposed to be at the ranch sometime between three and five, so I could definitely make it if I leave soon."
"That's it. I'm switching to Fed Ex," Cole said with exasperation.
Claire grinned at him," I wa
s hoping you'd say that. I've heard they're even hotter."
Cole growled at her and then took a bite of his sandwich, "Fuck me - that is delicious!" he said.
"Oh, I'll fuck you all right," Claire said, taking a bite of her part of the sandwich.
They laughed together and then sat quietly eating and feeling the sun warm their skin.
Claire got two more bottles out and handed them to Cole to open. He popped the tops off and handed her one. He took a swig of his and then set it down, staring at her.
"I want to meet your sister and her husband," he said suddenly.
"Yeah? Where did that come from?" she asked.
"I should meet the family of the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with."
Claire gave him a big grin and leaned in to kiss him, "You want to spend the rest of your life with me? You sure? I'm a bit of a nightmare. All I think about is food and sex."
Cole nuzzled his nose along her neck, "Well, when you love someone, you try to overlook their flaws."
"True. I totally try not to let it get to me that you wear clothes most of the time," Claire replied in a strained voice as Cole gently nibbled on her earlobe.
"When could we take time to go to London?"
"Hmmm, well, things are usually pretty slow in November and January. Could we plan a trip then?" he asked as he unbuttoned her shirt.
"Sure. It's not the best time of year to see London though," Claire said, putting one finger in the top of his shirt and sliding it down in one quick move to open his snaps.
"Well, I want to go soon and I'm not really going there to see the sights. I want to get to know your family."
He slid her shirt off of her shoulders, leaving him still with her tank top and bra to contend with.
"Dessert time," Claire said, as Cole lifted her shirt over her head and started to unbutton her jeans.
"Exactly what I was thinking," he said, lowering his mouth over hers.
She pulled away, "No. I meant, I made dessert for us."
She stacked the plates and put them and the empty bottles in the cooler bag as Cole took off her boots and socks. He took off his own boots and socks and then shrugged his shirt off, watching her take a container of whipping cream and another container of strawberries out of the bag.
She folded their shirts, making them into a pillow and placing it on the blanket, "Here, lie down for a minute."
"You lie down," Cole said, "I know how I want to eat my dessert," he said, taking the containers from her.
Claire laid her head down, her hair falling over the makeshift pillow. She watched him open the containers. He took out one strawberry and dipped it in the cream, then brought it over to her lips and dabbed the cream on. She licked the cream off, then he offered her the strawberry to take a bite. He popped the rest in his mouth and then put the container down.
He put both hands on her jeans, hooking the waistband and her panties with his fingers, then pulling them off, leaving her lying on the blanket in her bra. He looked her up and down, sighing with satisfaction. Leaning his body over hers, he teased her with his mouth, coming close to kissing her but backing away a little each time she tried to meet his lips with hers. She shivered with pleasure as he ran his big hand down her body and then back up.
Next he took her wrists in his hands and pulled her up to sitting. As she sat up, he kissed her neck and collar bone, sliding his hands behind her and unhooking her bra. He laid her back down again and let his eyes run over her naked body again.
"Much better," he said, his voice thick with lust.
Claire reached for his jeans and undid them, "You're overdressed, Cowboy."
She tugged them down along with his underwear as he lifted his body into a plank position, allowing her to pull them off with her feet. He lowered his body over her to kiss her and then did a push-up to move himself back into a plank. He lowered his knees back onto the blanket and sat up.
He grinned, picking up another strawberry, dipping it in the cream and then placing it in her mouth. He took his finger and dipped it in the cream, dabbing it on her nipple. Then he took more cream for her other nipple. It felt cold and soft on her skin. He looked her in the eyes as he lowered his mouth over to lick off the white, fluffy, sweet dessert.
"Mmmm," he swirled his tongue around her nipples, one at a time until the cream was gone.
He picked up more cream with two fingers and covered her smooth pussy with it, "This is how I want to eat my dessert from now on."
Claire could hardly speak, she was so turned on. Her voice came out barely a whisper, "Sure, honey."
"Honey - we should try that next time," he said as he added some whipping cream to her navel.
He took his hand up to Claire's mouth, gently pushing one finger into her mouth for her to suck. The look of her luscious lips sucking on his finger made his cock twitch with desire. He moved back to her breasts, sucking on them for a long moment before moving down to her navel. He sucked the cream off and licked in long, slow swirls taking his time.
Claire's legs quivered with anticipation, knowing what was coming next.
She was surprised when he picked up another strawberry and dipped it in the cream, she watched him as he carefully slid it into her wet pussy.
"Oh," she exclaimed at the new sensation. The strawberry and cream felt cold and smooth inside her.
Cole brought his face down between her legs and gave her a long, careful lick. He looked back up at her, smiling, "Mmmm, I can taste you with the whipping cream. I can't decide which is sweeter."
Giving her another lick, he allowed the tip of his tongue to touch the strawberry, "I'm going to have to stay here a while until I figure it out."
Claire felt lightheaded with erotic pleasure. She was powerless to do anything except give him a little moan. She moved her hands over her breasts, caressing her nipples with her fingers as the sun shone down on her, warming her body.
Cole licked and then sucked on her soft, velvety skin. He brought his fingers up and parted her, opening her wider for his tongue. He looped his tongue around behind the strawberry and then pulled it out part way, pressing his lips on it and taking a nibble. Claire could feel his mouth sucking and nibbling, the feeling of it was a little bit taboo and completely sexy at the same time. He looped his tongue behind the berry again, pulling it out a tiny bit more, biting it off gently. Claire gasped, her breathing growing heavy. When Cole pulled out the last bit of strawberry, Claire grabbed his hair with both hands, pushing his mouth into her.
"I want your tongue in my cunt," she breathed. Cole groaned, thrusting his tongue into her hot, creamy pussy. He flicked her clit with his tongue and then plunged in and pulled out with force. In and out. Harder. Faster. Over and over. Claire pulled his hair and pushed him against her hard as she started to come, crying out as she did. She held him there until the last spasm was long over. When she released his hair, Cole continued to lick and suck on her for a long while, thoroughly enjoying the taste and feel of her.
He lifted his head up and brought his body up and over her with one predatory move, lowering his weight onto her and thrusting his big cock inside her. Claire's legs spread wide to the side and then she wrapped them around his upper back, her hips tilted out to the sides as he pounded her with his core. His moves were quick and urgent at first, then he slowed down to make each thrust long and deep. They stared lustfully at each other in the warm glow of the autumn sun as they fucked. Claire could feel another orgasm building inside her as she looked down, watching his body where it joined hers.
Cole started to gather an unstoppable momentum, slamming himself into her. The hard ground under her allowed him to get in deeper that he ever had, filling her completely. He watched her face as she closed her eyes, mouth open, her head turned to the side, moaning and breathing fast. He could feel Claire's muscles tighten around him as her orgasm began.
Cole started to come with her, lifting her ass up off the ground as he gave one last hard thrust.
&nbs
p; "Oh God!" he cried out, "Oh fuck!" he pressed himself in even farther, circling inside her pussy as he felt another wave of come.
He somehow managed to hook his arms underneath her body, sitting back onto his knees and pulling her onto his lap. Claire kissed him wildly on the mouth as she started to grind her pussy into him as hard as she could. She moved her hands up to his face, holding him as they kissed and their bodies continued to shudder with what was left of their orgasms.
She finally pulled her mouth away and leaned her forehead on his, "Oh God, Cole...that was just...fuck..." was all she managed to say.
