again and Alicia came out.
âOh,â she said. âI didnât know you were out here.â
Since her hair looked freshly brushed, he doubted that was true.
âIâm headed home,â she said.
âWhereâs that?â
âBunkhouse in the back,â she said. âWe all share it. My dad, Eddie, some of the others.â
âYou sleep in the bunkhouse with the men?â
She smiled and said, âThey treat me like one of the guys.â
âIs that the way you want to be treated?â
âBy them,â she said, âyes.â
They stared at each other for a few moments, then she broke the silence and said, âIâll be checking the horses before I turn in.â
âOkay.â
âIn the stables.â
âRight.â
âAlone.â
âI understand.â
She was beautiful in the moonlight, her hair as black as the darkness. The skin of her hands and face had been browned by the sun, but he suddenly found himself wondering what the skin beneath her clothes looked like.
âGood night, Clint.â
âGood night, Alicia.â
As she walked to the stables, he tried to push the thought of her naked body away, but couldnât. Neither could he ignore the invitation, both in her voice and in her eyes.
She was a woman, all right.
And trouble.
Lots of trouble . . .
*Â *Â *
Alicia checked on Whirlwind first, going into his stall and inspecting him thoroughly to make sure he hadnât done anything to injure himself. She ran her hands up and down his legs, along his flanks, then went to his head and just stroked him for a while.
âYouâre a good boy,â she told him. âYouâre gonna run their legs off.â
She patted him one last time, and left the stall, making sure the door was locked.
She moved into Eclipseâs more common open stall, went in alongside him, and patted his flanks, his neck, and then moved to his head. She stroked his nose and spoke to him.
âYou better take it easy on my baby tomorrow,â she told him. âJust give him a light workout, okay?â
He nodded his big head, as if he understood what she was telling him.
She came out of the stall and saw Clint standing there.
âOh,â she said, âyou surprised me . . . again.â
âSorry,â he said, âI was coming out to check on Eclipse.â
âHeâs doinâ fine,â she said. âIn fact, I checked on both of them.â
âHow did you do that exactly?â he asked.
âYou really want to know?â
âWell, sure.â
She walked up to him.
âWell, first I feel their legs to be sure theyâre okay.â
She crouched down and ran her hands up and down one of Clintâs legs, then the other. As she did, she noticed the bulge in his pants.
âThen what?â
âThen I check out their flanks.â
She stood, ran her hands over his thighs, and his buttocks. As she did, she leaned against him, feeling his hard cock press up against her.
âAnd then what?â he said into her hair.
She drew back and looked him in the eyes.
âThen I rub their nose,â she said, using two fingers to rub up and down his nose. âSometimes I kiss them on the nose.â She leaned forward and kissed his nose. He put his arms around her and kissed her on the lips. She opened her mouth to him, and he explored her with his tongue.
âDid you really come out here to check on Eclipse?â she asked.
âWhat do you think?â he asked. âYou pretty much invited me out here, right?â
âRight.â
âSo,â he said, âhere I am.â
She looked around, found an empty stall, and said, âLetâs put some hay in here.â
Together they collected enough straw to make a bed in the empty stall.
âAll right,â she said, unbuttoning her shirt.
He unbuttoned his and they peeled them off. Her breasts
