"I'd like that,” said Gillian.
Thom shook hands with her. “Hope to see you again next Thanksgiving."
"Well, we'll have to wait and see if Connor invites me a second time.” She looked up at him and he gave her a squeeze.
By the time his brothers and their families had packed up their stuff and gone, only a handful of his workers were left in the barn.
"Can I rely on you guys to put everything away? Because I have something planned for Gillian."
"Sure, don't you worry about a thing,” said one of the guys folding up a table.
Connor got hold of Gillian's hand and led her out of the barn towards the house.
"More romancing?” she asked.
"Sort of. I put in a hot tub out on the deck two years ago and I've never wanted to use it on my own. How about we christen it?"
* * * *
The last thing she'd expected to do in Wyoming at this time of the year was swim and hence hadn't bothered to pack a bikini or swimsuit. Now she had to find something to wear in the hot tub. She'd opted for her white lace bra and panties. And here she stood at the back door waiting for Connor to turn the thing on and get it warmed up before she ventured outside.
"Okay, just make a run for it and get under the water as quickly as you can,” shouted Connor.
Connor was already in there with his shoulders underneath the bubbles by the time she reached it. He held her hand as she stepped on to the ledge and sat beside him.
"Mmm, this is fantastic.” She rested her head back and looked up at the stars twinkling in the sky above them. She breathed out purposely so she could see steam escaping from her mouth.
"So you've never used this?” she asked.
"No, thought I would after long days out on the ranch but then I figured a guy on his own in this big tub looked kinda stupid."
She snuggled in close to him and he put his arm around her. She rested her head on his shoulder and he placed his hand in between her legs. There was something she wanted to get off her chest...the fact that she'd learned about the loss of his child from his sisters-in-law. She never wanted any secrets between them, ever.
"Connor."
"Mmm."
"When I was showing your sisters-in-law Starlight, they told me that you once had a son."
His grip tightened on her shoulder.
"I'm telling you because I thought you should know that I know but if you never want to talk about it then I'll understand and it's fine with me."
He ran his hand up her right leg.
"Nope, there's nothing I don't want you to know about me and my past. I was planning to tell you sometime soon and, well, they obviously did it for me."
"I'm so sorry. It must have been horrible for you."
"Oh, yeah, worst time of my life. He was so beautiful. He looked so perfect when they pulled him out of Mia's belly but I knew straight away he wasn't breathing or moving."
Gillian rubbed her hand up his chest. Tears were forming in his eyes. “Oh, Connor, I can't begin to imagine how that felt to see him like that."
She kissed him.
"I blamed Mia for the longest time. I wasn't aware that she'd been making herself throw up all the time she was carrying him. The poor little guy wasn't getting enough nutrition. I hated her so much for killing my son."
"She was obviously very sick."
"I realised that a few months after. They said the pregnancy had sent her over the edge. She was so scared when she started to gain weight that it made her bulimia even worse. I had no idea anything was wrong with her, really I didn't. I used to look at her and watch how much food she ate and think how lucky she was that she didn't gain so much as a pound. I don't think she wanted a baby but I foolishly pressured her into starting a family because I'd always dreamed of having kids."
Gillian set her head down on his shoulder.
"I can tell it's upsetting you and I don't want to do that so how about we just say I know about it, not talk about it again and get back to enjoying ourselves,” said Gillian. She rubbed her hand up and down his stomach and chest.
"Yeah, and maybe I should get back to romancing you."
Gillian laughed. “You've done so much of that, you're spoiling me."
Connor reached for the bottle of beer he'd set on the side of the tub, took a swig and offered it to Gillian.
"I'm getting used to drinking this stuff and out of a bottle,” she said before she took a drink.
"Told you I'd turn you into a cowgirl."
Gillian put the bottle back down as Connor reached for her and pulled her onto his lap.
"That's a sexy bikini you have on there, little lady."
"Bra and panties, don't you mean. I hope the water doesn't shrink them."
"I know how we can prevent that."
Before she could say anything, he'd undone the bra, lifted it from her shoulders and thrown it out of the tub. Next was her panties—he pulled them then somehow eased them down her legs and eased them from her. They too joined the bra.
"Hey, that's an unfair advantage."
Gillian grabbed the waistband of his shorts and tugged them. He lifted his butt to free them then she tugged them the rest of the way and threw them out on top of her underwear. She straddled him and they kissed. Connor ran his hands over her breasts, paying extra special attention to her nipples that were so hard now.
He moved his hand down her belly into her pubic hair and found her clit.
They kissed as he tapped and rubbed it, making Gillian moan with each pass of his finger. She almost bit his lip when he slid it into her slit.
"You are always so tight and hot down here. You drive me crazy, lady."
Gillian reached under the water and found his cock hard and upright on his belly. She ran her hands over it.
"Hey, just don't go overboard because I didn't bring any condoms out here and we don't want to make any little cowboys or cowgirls here tonight."
Gillian laughed and they kissed again. Someone was now making an exaggerated coughing sound behind them.
She turned to see one of Connor's ranch hands standing beside the hot tub. She slid off his lap and ducked under the water so her boobs were well hidden.
"Sorry to disturb you...ma'am."
Gillian nodded.
"We need to put the tables and heaters away but we can't find the key to the storage closet."
"It's in my pant pocket...hell, if you don't mind seeing a nude guy with the erection of the century, I'll go get it for you."
Gillian smiled when Connor got out of the hot tub. Yeah, there was no mistaking she'd aroused him just now. She rested her head back while he was gone. The image of his cock still in her mind made her pussy beat like her heart. When he got back she was going to suggest they head up to his bedroom for some fun.

Chapter Ten
* * * *
Gillian let the towel Connor had handed her when she'd got out of the hot tub fall to the carpet in his bedroom. He'd already dropped his and here they stood naked, looking at one another.
He reached for her right arm and pulled her close to him. Connor planted a tiny quick kiss on the very tip of her nose then moved his lips to her mouth.
"Mmm, you are the best kisser,” said Gillian. “Or do all cowboys kiss like this?"
He put both hands on her ass cheeks and pulled her even closer. “I wouldn't know because I've never kissed one."
They laughed.
"Go and lie on the bed and get comfortable because I want to do something to you that I've never done to any lady...including my ex-wife."
Now he had her intrigued. Just what was in store for her? He must have seen her hesitating, thinking about what would happen next.
"Go on, pretty lady."
He smacked her butt as she moved towards his bed and got onto it.
"Get as comfortable as you can,” he said.
Gillian fluffed up the pillows on his bed, leaned them against his bra
ss bed head and rested her back against the metal slats.
Connor climbed onto the end of the bed.
"You relaxed enough?” he asked.
"Oh yeah."
"Hope you like the treat."
Connor grabbed her ankles and spread her legs. This was getting more intriguing by the second.
He positioned himself between her thighs. He didn't take his eyes off her face as he gently caressed her clit with his thumb.
"I am going to see how many orgasms I can give you tonight, sweet lady."
The first one wasn't far away. Gillian wiggled her hips as her lower belly pulled, and her pussy yielded its first drop of juice as Connor continued to stroke her.
"Mmm, Con...” She didn't quite get his name out as the first orgasm took her. She'd barely had time to recover when Connor slipped his finger inside her and began to pump her pussy.
She groaned as another finger joined it and he thrust harder.
"You look so beautiful when you're close to coming,” whispered Connor, pressing harder, obviously sensing he was about to take her over the edge.
She tensed her butt muscles as she felt another wave of sheer delight heading her way.
"Connor, holy shit, you're driving me..."
She screamed out this time, shaking against the pillows and putting her index finger into her mouth and gently biting down on it.
She felt her juices slipping from her and wasn't prepared for what came next. Connor had spread her legs even wider and now his mouth was just inches away from her pussy.
Gillian groaned when he licked her, the tip of his tongue making its way into each little crevice and fold until it found her clit and went to work.
Maybe you could have too much of a good thing. Right now he was going to give her a heart attack...one brought on by too much pleasure. Was that possible?
"Connor, you make me..."
She cried out again, resting her head back on the pillow and panting.
"I'm not done with you yet."
His tongue darted in and out of her pussy, licking, sucking. She held the brass bed slats knowing she was in for the ride of her life. Building, building...she wanted it to last forever but Connor's tongue was just too talented so she had to give in.
It was Connor's name she screamed out this time around. She shook like she was freezing cold then when Connor pulled his tongue out she flopped over on to her left side and breathed heavily into the pillow, trying to recover.
She felt the weight of the bed go down behind her and Connor wrapped his arms around her. He nuzzled her face and neck.
"How did you like that?” he whispered.
"They were the best orgasms of my entire life."
"You mind if I get inside you now? Because the sight of you, the smell and feel of you has driven me into a frenzy."
She rolled over on to her back and spread her legs. Connor slipped on a condom and she welcomed him inside.
* * * *
He'd instructed the guys to start work without him Friday morning because he wanted Gillian to wake up with him beside her at least once while she was staying at the house. He was so used to getting up while it was early and still dark outside that when he first opened his eyes, she was sound asleep. The brightness from the alarm clock, plus the brightness from the snow outside that had fallen during the night, cast a sultry shadow over the bed allowing him to see her outline. She had his quilt wrapped around her body with both her arms resting over the top.
He raised his hand ready to trail his finger down her right arm, but he stopped just a few inches above her skin. He didn't want to wake her. That would be selfish of him.
Connor decided to just snuggle down beside her, hoping to warm but not disturb her.
She murmured and said something under her breath but he couldn't quite hear it. She moved slightly as if getting herself into a more comfortable spot in his bed.
Shit, he'd tried, but he couldn't resist her any longer. He pushed his body into hers and put his arm around her. He knew by now his erection was sticking into her butt.
"Morning, Connor."
"How did you know it was me?” he whispered into her ear.
"Only one guy's got a cock like yours."
They both laughed before he kissed her on the cheekbone.
"It feels cold this morning,” she said.
He wrapped his arms around her tighter. “I haven't looked out of the window yet but I'm guessing by the lightness of the room we had a good snowfall last night."
"Am I making you late for work?"
"Nope, the guys have given me the day off and I'm all yours."
"All mine, well, I guess we shouldn't let that go to waste.” She turned over to face him and kissed him on the nose then the mouth.
"Maybe we shouldn't get too worked up because we used the last of the condoms last night...well, early this morning. Looks like we'll need to shop for some more today."
"On Black Friday...oh, I just remembered I brought a box with me in case you didn't have any."
"Hey, we cowboys are always prepared but sometimes we run out when ladies drive us crazy."
"Wait right here."
He leaned on his arm as Gillian got out of bed, walked to her cosmetics bag and pulled out a box and jumped back onto the bed. He took it from her.
"Oh my, little lady, you picked something for yourself here. ‘Ribbed tip for extra pleasure',” he read.
"Hey, how was I supposed to know I don't need extras like that with a guy like you?"
"So you want to make love right now?"
Gillian kissed him. “Of course, but I'm on top this time.” She pushed him flat on his back and trailed her tongue down his chest. She circled his belly button and kissed every inch of his skin around it including his cock that was now oh so ready for her.
"Are you going to do the honour?” he asked.
"I sure am."
She ripped open a package and held his cock while slipping a condom on to him.
A few minutes later he was in heaven when she eased him inside her. He took the weight of her body over his thighs as she moved back and forth with a steady rhythm.
He reached up, hoping his arms were long enough so he could reach her boobs. They were. He played with her nipples, feeling her clamping down on his dick as he gave them a slight tug.
Connor had never climaxed with a woman on top but he hadn't told Gillian that just in case it took away her fun or changed her mind about being in that position. She was picking up speed now, her hips moving back and forth, pounding her pussy on to him. He held her hips as he thrust his butt up off the bed, hoping that would help her have the best time of her life.
Her body shook and her pussy gripped him like never before. She screamed out so loud he was sure every animal in Yellowstone Park—hell, even Glacier National Park—knew she'd just climaxed.
Connor pushed his butt up and for the first time climaxed with a lady on top. He might have guessed it would be with Gillian.
She laid her body on top of his and they kissed.
"Quite the way to wake up, don't you think?” he asked.
"Oh yeah, I could do that every morning for the rest of my life,” she said.
Now there was a thought.

Chapter Eleven
* * * *
The snow was beautiful, even more so on top of the mountain that sat behind Connor's ranch.
"What would you be doing if you were in Chicago today?” asked Connor.
"Just hanging out in my apartment. I usually go shopping with my mother and sister but this year I don't think I would have ventured out by myself."
"And here you are buying hay and horse feed."
"Do they have Black Friday sales on those types of things too?"
Gillian followed Connor out to the truck as he slipped his wallet into the back pocket of his jeans. He opened the door and held her hand as she got in.
"You want to head into Casper
and see how Wyoming does Black Friday?” he asked.
"Sure, why not? Maybe you can tell me what you want for Christmas."
"Oh, I think I have everything I want right here sitting next to me."
He squeezed her knee before putting the truck into gear.
"So what do you want?” he asked.
"You've already given me Starlight."
"That was a ‘welcome to Wyoming’ gift."
"How about my own saddle for when I ride him?"
"Told you I'd make a cowgirl out of you. Didn't think it would be quite this soon, though."
"Must be all the sex I'm having with a very handsome cowboy."
* * * *
Shopping in Casper was a whole lot different to doing it in Chicago. Less crowds and different types of stores, for one. Gillian never thought she'd admit it, but she almost preferred the small town feel. Each store was unique and not like anything she'd find back home. Connor grabbed her hand and held it tightly as they manoeuvred though the first crowd of people they'd met on the street since they'd arrived in town a little over an hour ago.
"While I have you here with me, how about I shop for my sisters-in-law and you can give me some feedback,” suggested Connor.
"I'd love to."
"Let's head into the department store over there."
They crossed the street and Connor opened the door for her. Christmas music played throughout the store and Christmas trees with their lights twinkling were placed just about everywhere. Hard to believe it was already the holiday season. Where had the year gone?
"So women like jewellery, right?” asked Connor.
"We love it."
"Then I think I'll get the ladies bracelets or maybe necklaces."
They headed to the jewellery counter and Gillian helped him pick out three silver and red bracelets. While the assistant was wrapping them some turquoise rings caught Gillian's eye.
"I think I've found a gift for my sister. She loves anything turquoise.” Gillian slipped one of the rings on her finger. “It fits me so that means one size up and it should be perfect for her."
Gillian waited for the assistant to finish helping Connor.
"Excuse me, do you have this in a size seven?"
