cowboy dreams part three

The ranch work was falling behind as one of the hands was sick and unable to work which left Jack doing a double shift. He was tossing hay bails, his shirt had become drenched with sweat and he had removed it and it was dangling out of his back pocket when a jeep pulled up. He threw the bail of hay he held onto the pile and walked over to meet his guests, pulling his gloves off as he approached the jeep. Pulling to a stop outside the large barn Tara warned Kieran and Summer to be on their best behaviour then she froze when she saw the well toned, bare chest, sweaty cowboy coming towards her. The light glistening off the slick moisture on his firm tight chest. Biting on her bottom lip to stop her from moaning she got out of the car. When he stopped beside her both kids were out of their seats and looked excited especially the little cutie pie Summer. Tara smiled in response to his welcoming smile and Summer rushed up to him “Horsy horsy” she called out. She jumped up reaching for him with her little hands and he looked to her and smiled “Im all dirty and you are so clean and pretty I don’t want to get in trouble with your mummy” her little pout tugged at his heart. “Travis” he called over to another hand who was over by the paddock and he came strolling over “Yeah boss” Travis was in his late twenties and also good looking but he had no chance of in a competition with Jack. “Can you saddle up Poppy and see to the kids for us” he caught the wary look in Tara’s eyes. “Don’t worry they

will be in full view all the time and Travis here is great with the kids that come here. He is a natural, could be because he never grew out of his own childhood” he teased Travis with a look and let out a slight chuckle. The kids walked off in front with Travis but not before Kieran gave a questioning look to his mother, she smiled at him and told him to go on. Once the kids were on their way happily Jack pulled his shirt from his pocket and put it on. She was glad he covered up but it didn’t help much. “Ok so, if you see any horses that inspire you I can arrange for them to be at your disposal” he was trying very hard to keep things on business, but his mind kept wandering. Walking close next to him she could feel the heat from his body and it caused heat of her own to stir. “This is quite a place you have here” Tara tried to keep her voice calm as she spoke but the slight quiver could be detected. “Thank you, it means a lot to me and the kids who come here” he sounded pleased with her compliment and also with the shake to her voice. He liked the fact that he had a noticeable effect on her, which he wanted to turn into a physical effect. The thoughts running through his head sent a hot stirring within him and in his jeans. They walked into the barn following the happy sounds of Summer as she ooed and ahhed at the all the pretty horses. Kieran was enjoying himself but he would turn and watch his mum every now and then. Standing by a stable jack clicked his tongue and a large jet black stallion walked forward and stuck his head over the gate and nuzzled up to jack. “Archimedes this is Tara” he introduced them as if they were life long friends. “Archimedes has been with me since he was born and is very loyal” he began but then lowered his voice and moved closer to Tara as if he didn’t want the horse to hear him “He gets very jealous though, he thinks he is the centre of attention” . Tara could not help but smile, to her it appeared that Travis was not the only one who had not grown up. Jack gave her a tour of the property and as promised kept them in sight of her kids all the time. “So. Do you see anything that takes your fancy?” his tone and cheeky smile implied that he was not only talking about the landscape but everything she was looking at and she was looking though she thought that she had been discrete about it. “Umm, yes actually there are several locations that would provide a very good back drop and some very beautiful horses” she thought for a moment then added “Archimedes will have to be the first one I paint so he doesn’t feel left out.”. she flashed a cheeky smile right back at him. Walking back around to the barn the sun was setting and the sky was alight with a flurry of colours, beautiful. Standing in the doorway to the barn jack leaned in resting his hand on the doorframe behind her and tilted his Stetson upwards, he was inches from her and she could smell his sweet breath, it was warm against her skin. Her breathing quickened and she let out a soft sigh which seemed to be an invitation for him. He placed his free hand on her cheek and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her skin felt alive with electricity at his touch. Leaning in closer he tilted her face up to his and his lips pressed against hers soft at first then harder and deeper as he parted her willing lips with his burning hot tongue. His hand slid down her neck leaving a trail of goose bumps in its wake despite her not being cold. His hand slid over her shoulder and down her arm then rested on her hip, his fingers dug in with a little bit of pressure and he pulled her to him. Their bodies pressed against each other, lips joined and breathing in pace with each other. Tara felt as if her knees would buckle if he didn’t stop but she didn’t want him to stop, to have him touching her, kissing her like this was what she needed. Her hands pressed on to his chest she could feel every tense muscle as she slid her hands up and around his neck. He let go of the door frame and wrapped his strong arm around the back of her waist and lifted her from the ground, she was barely aware of the sound of a gate opening and closing as he took them into a empty stall used to store hay bails. He set her down on a bail and stood up straight to remove his hat and then he peeled his shirt from his body giving her another view of his well toned and tanned chest. When he dropped his shirt next to his Stetson he bent down to her and panting he kissed her again with more urgency. Her hands felt their way across his chest while his were unbuttoning her top, she found her hands lowering and reaching for his belt even though she had not consciously thought to do so. Her clothes soon joined his on the floor. She lay on the hay exposed to him but feeling completely safe as his lips trailed hot wet kisses down her neck and over her collar bone, across each breast. He paused to lick and savour each nipple before he continued on down her stomach. His hand was gliding across her soft silky skin down over her hip and down the outside of her thigh then back up the inside. She let out a gasp of delight when he found her clitoris and lightly played with it as his lips caught up and his tongue joined in. the heat surged through every vein in her body as the sensations grew between her legs, the moan escaped her lips as he slid a finger into her. His lips began the journey back up her body and she felt his own pleasure pressed against her as he came to rest against her, his lips on her neck. He shifted his weight and she felt him remove his hand much to her disliking. She wrapped her arms back around him and

pulled him closer still and her lips met his and begged for more. His hand lifted her leg and he eased himself deep into her letting out his own moan of pleasure. Slowly at first he moved in and out and she wrapped her legs around him holding him to her hands in his soft brown hair. The heat built and built with in her threatening to explode but she held it back as he drove deeper and harder and faster. Pulling his head back he looked into her eyes to watch as she came because of him, she could feel it trying to climb over the rim and just as she was about to let go and give him what he wanted she heard her name being called. “Tara are you alright?” the voice asked her. She blinked her eyes and brought her mind back to the present to find Jack fully clothed and standing in front of her outside the barn by her car with a strange but sexy look in his eyes. “Err, umm yes im fine” she managed to get out of her lips before her kids came running up to her. “Mummy mummy that was great can we come back again” Summer was all smiles as she reached up to Jack! He picked her up and she gave him a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek “Thank you, thank you” she was so happy. “sure, its easy to be a kid you can hug and kiss who ever you wanted and not have to worry about a thing” Tara thought to herself disappointed and amazed that it had all been a figment of her imagination. Jack had told them they were welcome to come back when ever they wanted before Tara made a hasty retreat. She would be back again the following day to take some pictures and sketches, her only hope was that she remembered how to hold a pencil. Watching them drive away down the dirt road Jack let out a huge breath, every moment he had spent with her his mind had been arguing with his body. When she leaned in close to pat Archimedes he had to resist the urge to kiss her, when she had brushed up against him out at the paddock all he wanted to do was grab hold of her and pull her against him, now he needed a cold shower.
