The wind was a little gusty that night and the dust in the air caused
the cattle to act nervous. It made Ed's work a lot more difficult as
the cattle were unwilling to head into the bidding pen. His horse
was having to work double time to keep the cattle headed in a
straight line and in the proper direction. It was at times like this
that it would be nice to have a well trained cow dog, but they didn't
have one. Ed yanked on the rein to change the direction of his
horse to cut off a cow that decided to head east rather than north.
When the last cow had been pushed into the pen, he sat back as the
bidding began. He looked up to see who was bidding tonight. To
his surprise, Kelly was in the stands waving at him. He laughed at
the situation and rode over to her. When he reached her, she called
out, "Hello Ed."
Laughing, Ed called out to her, "Did you know that you just bid on
those cows over there?"
At the look of astonished embarrassment, she put a hand over her
mouth. He listened for a minute and then said, "Don't worry,
you've just been outbid."
"Thank God." Kelly laughed in relief, happy that she didn't have to
find a home for them in her little apartment. For a minute there,
she had visions of sharing her little bedroom with four full grown
cows. The image wasn't exactly pleasant, but it was funny.
Ed moved closer and picked her up. It took a little maneuvering to
get her seated on the saddle behind him. She wrapped her arms
around him, a little frightened to be on such a huge animal. He
nudged his horse over to the fence near the bidding pen and
stopped next to it. He helped her get onto the fence. He said, "You
can watch from here. They won't interpret any gestures you make
here as a bid."
She leaned towards him and said, "thanks, I appreciate that."
"Time for me to get back to work, I'll be right back."
Ed rode over to the bidding pen. With easy commands on the rein
he moved the cows out and back to their holding pen. He waited
for the other guy to get his cattle into the bidding pen before he
started directing the next lot in that direction. Kelly was seated on
the fence post right next to where he would wait until the bidding
for the current lot was finished. It would give him a quick chance
to talk to her.
Another gust of wind threatened to scatter the four cows. He
worked them back into order and down the chute towards the
bidding pen. He stopped next to Kelly and asked, "So what brought
you down here?"
She giggled and answered, "I wanted to see you work. You've seen
me at work, so I thought I'd come down here."
He shook his head and replied, "I'm afraid there's not much to see."
Kelly laughed and said, "Well, I almost bought four cows. That
was exciting."
He laughed and then noticed that the bidding pen was empty. The
other guy working today had moved his cattle out. While waiting
for the gate to be opened, he said, "I've got to get them in the pen
now. I'll be back soon."
When the gate opened, he directed the cows into the bidding pen.
He waited for the bidding to end. It wasn't going to take long.
Bidding always went a little quicker when the cattle were nervous
like today. He didn't know why, but they never fetched as good of
a price on those days. The auctions usually lasted longer, but that
was because it took longer to get the damn beasts moved.
He had made about four trips that way, when on the fifth, he was
surprised to find Nevada sitting on the fence next to Kelly. He
stopped beside them both and said, "Nevada, I'd like you to meet
Kelly. She's my girlfriend. Kelly, this is Nevada. He's my boss."
He glanced at Nevada for a second and then added, "And I'm Ed.
And I'm probably in trouble."
As Kelly looked like she was afraid that she was the cause of his
problems, Nevada laughed. He said, "No. I only came over here to
meet the woman that tamed Ed."
Kelly looked at Nevada confused at the credit for taming Ed. She
answered, "I didn't tame him. He's been this way as long as I've
known him."
Nevada looked at Ed and could see the look of affection that he
was giving Kelly. This wasn't the Ed he knew. There was a spark
between the pair that Nevada, an old cowhand himself, couldn't
miss.
Ed glanced ahead and then said, "Whoops, got to work."
He directed the cattle into the bidding pen. They balked at moving
forward and he had to use his rope on the ass of one of the cows to
get it moving. It wasn't a hard blow, just a touch to make the cow
think there was one behind it. That pushed the rest of them in and
the gate closed behind them. He really hated nights like this. It was
twice as much work as usual. He didn't know if having Kelly here
helped or not, but it was nice to see her.
Nevada and Kelly talked through most of the auction. For the most
part, Nevada explained how the auction worked and what the
bidders were looking for when they bid on cattle. Kelly asked
questions and made comments about the process. Many of her
comments Nevada found humorous. There was, however, a long
discussion about Ed and the changes in his behavior over the past
week.
When the auction was over, Ed rode over to where Nevada and
Kelly were seated. As he directed the horse to a stop, he said, "So
Nevada, are you done telling this young lady what a miserable
beast I am?"
Shaking his head in disbelief that Ed would joke about himself in
that fashion, Nevada answered, "I lied and I lied, but she still
wasn't interested in me."
Ed sat back in the saddle and laughed aloud. Kelly grinned, not
realizing that she was witnessing a first between the two men.
Nevada climbed off the fence and said, "I've got to go look at the
receipts and see how we did tonight. I'll see you tomorrow, Ed."
"Prepare to be disappointed, Nevada. Bidding was bad tonight, the
cattle were too nervous," replied Ed. He shook his head, "I don't
know why bidding is so bad on nights like tonight."
Stopping in his tracks, Nevada turned and looked at Ed. He
realized that Ed actually paid a bit more attention to things than he
had credited him. Maybe Ed wasn't just a dumb cowhand after all.
He asked, "Would you like to speculate why?"
Kelly watched as Ed thought about it. She could see that he was
considering several ideas and rejecting most of them. He finally
answered, "It might be the pauses between lots is just a little longer
and breaks up the bidding rhythm, but that's only a guess."
"What would you do about that?"
Ed shrugged and suggested, "Add a second bidding pen."
Nevada stood there looking at Ed with a thoughtful expression. It
was actually one of the best suggestions that anyone had made on
how to improve his business in a long time. He said, "I'll think
about it. Now, take that lady of yours and get out of here."
Taking the advice to heart, Ed helped Kelly onto the back of his
horse and rode over to the corral. When they reached it, he helped
her to the ground. She climbed on the fence post while he rode the
horse into the corral. Once there, he dismounted. She sat a little
uncertainly, surprised at the warm sensation between her legs that
even that short ride on the horse had generated. She cooed, "Today
is the first time I've ever been on a horse. I think I like it."
Ed understood exactly what she meant. No cowboy was stupid
enough to get between a woman and her horse. There were a lot of
women in this part of the country that had their first orgasm riding
a horse. With a wink at Kelly, Ed said, "Good, but I suggest you
stay off them. I'd hate for you to end up bowlegged like me."
She laughed, wondering if he knew the effect that the horse had on
her. She said, "Well, you really know how to handle that horse."
He patted the horse along its neck and said, "We've been working
together for about four years. She's got about another two years in
her before I retire her to pasture."
There was real affection in his voice, but he'd never admit to
feeling that way about the horse. She watched as he ran a hand
along the legs of the horse. Kelly said, "That's a nice looking
horse."
"She's not bad." Bending down, he released the chinch straps that
held the saddle on the horse. Standing, he lifted the saddle off and
put it in its place. It only took him a minute to remove the other
gear from the horse. Grabbing the curry comb and brush, he went
to work on the horse. He talked the entire time to Kelly, but in a
tone of voice intended to sooth the horse.
She watched and listened to how he talked. His intent might have
been to calm the horse, but it had the opposite effect on her. Her
body was reacting to him in a very sexual manner. By the time that
he was done, her nipples were tenting her shirt through her bra and
her cunt was soaking wet. Unaware of the effect he had on Kelly,
Ed released the horse and put out its oats. Once that was done, he
turned to Kelly and asked, "Would you like to get something to eat
at the restaurant up the street?"
Preferring to go someplace where Ed could take care of a more
urgent need of hers, she was about to suggest an alternative. It was
about time for them to take the relationship to the next level, but
she didn't want to make the first move. Instead, she agreed, "Sure,
that sounds good."
He took her to her car and suggested, "Why don't you follow me
there? It's just up the street."
"That sounds like a plan."
Ed went over to his truck and waited to make sure that she had
started her car. He led the way to the restaurant where he normally
ate during and after work. Watching in the mirror, he made sure
that she was able to stay right behind him. He worried, as he
drove, that he was moving too fast for her, but it sure was hard to
resist her.
He pulled into the parking lot and got out of his truck. Stepping
over to her car, he opened the door for her. Unfamiliar with the
place, she stepped out and looked around what was basically a
truck stop. He took her by the hand and they walked into the
restaurant. Rather than waiting to be seated, they went directly to a
table to wait for the waitress to come over with the menus.
The waitress arrived at the table and looked at Ed and then Kelly.
She stepped back and looked at Kelly a second time. The attention
being given her was immediately noticed by Kelly. Smiling the
waitress said, "So you must be the reason Ed quit flirting with us."
Ed blushed and looked away while Kelly beamed at him. She
asked, "When did he stop flirting with you?"
The waitress was sure she wouldn't be happy to be Ed's girlfriend.
He had been a pretty obnoxious customer and didn't have a very
good reputation in the area. She answered, "Oh, about ten days ago
or so. Hard to say, really."
Kelly looked at Ed wondering if there was a connection between
when they met and some of the changes in his behavior. She
decided that it was because of her, the times matched well. She
smiled and said, "That's about the time I met him."
The waitress took their orders and returned to her station. The
parting look was clearly one of pity. In a very quiet tone, Ed said,
"I think that the waitress feels sorry for you. She thinks you got a
pretty rotten deal in taking up with me."
Frowning at his poor self image, Kelly asked, "You don't mean
that."
Ed looked over at the waitress and said, "Why don't you ask her
yourself when I'm gone."
Without warning, he stood and headed to the bathroom. He took
his time, knowing that the waitress would serve their iced teas
while he was gone. In the restroom, he rolled up his sleeves and
washed his hands clear up to the elbows. After washing his face, he
dried off and left the restroom. The waitress was just leaving the
table as he arrived.
Kelly waited until he had seated himself before saying, "You were
right. She did everything except tell me to run like hell in the
opposite direction."
"I've been telling you the truth. I haven't been a very nice person in
the past." He glanced in the direction of the waitress, sad that she
was another example of a person that didn't like him. On second
thought, it wasn't just her, it was the rest of the restaurant staff as
well. He added, "A lot of people don't like me."
Kelly looked at him, the sadness in his voice expressing real regret,
as her heart went out to him. Looking around at the waitresses, she
realized that he had always been honest with her. She said, "You've
been honest with me about everything."
Reaching out, he took her hand and said, "I would really like to
make love to you, but I have to work a few things out in my mind
first. I don't want to mislead you and hurt you in that fashion. You
want something that I don't know if I can deliver. I haven't rejected
it, but I'm seriously considering all of the ramifications."
The consideration he was showing her contrasted so sharply with
what the waitress had said about him, she didn't know what to
think. If he was the man the waitress had described, then he would
have promised her anything and then dumped her after sleeping
with her. She was about to answer that he could sleep with her
anyway, when the waitress arrived with their food.
Ed looked at the waitress and said, "It all looks very good to eat."
With a questioning look on her face, she answered, "Thanks. The
good cook is on duty tonight."
"Really? I always find the food here pretty good. While I might not
say it, I do find the service here excellent as well." Ed bent down
to eat his Chicken Fried Steak.
The waitress was left standing there. Kelly smiled at her and turned
to her salad. When the waitress left, Kelly giggled and said, "You
really blew her mind. She didn't know what to think, particularly
after some of the things she said about you."
Ed answered, "That wasn't my intent. I know that she won't trust
me for a long time, if ever. I have to earn her respect now. That's a
lot harder to do after you've lost it once."
Kelly glanced in the direction of the waitress and asked, "Are they
worth it?"
"The real question is if I am worth it." Ed looked around the
restaurant wondering how many of the people in here knew him
and, of them, how many didn't like him.
That was a take on his position that she hadn't considered. To
know that others disliked you must be very tough on the self
image. The upshot of this discussion was that she wanted to sleep
with him even more. She held his hands and said, "Don't worry,
things will get better. I'll see to that."
Flustered, Ed wanted to change the subject. He was about to tell
her that she had better start eating before her food got cold, but she
was having a salad. He looked down at his plate and said, "I better
eat this before it gets cold."
Releasing his hand, she said, "Yes, you had better eat it before it
gets cold. I want you to have all of the energy you can for later."
Ed slowly ate his meal as Kelly picked at her salad. She was trying
to figure out how to get him in bed with her. First, that ride on the
horse had started her juices flowing. Then, the way that he had
taken care of the horse had really turned her on. After that, his
honesty totally lowered all of her barriers. Finally, his
understanding about how others viewed him had totally convinced
her that he was worthy of being her first husband.
For his part, Ed was thinking furiously about whether he could be
the kind of man that she wanted as a husband. He didn't know what
they called a man that slept with both men and women. He knew
what a faggot was and he couldn't think of himself that way. Still,
to have two wives was pretty incredible. He realized that he had
never asked about Dr. Hayes and if she had talked to her.
He quickly finished his meal and looked up to see that Kelly was
watching him. There was a hunger in her eyes that he couldn't
define. In a way, it frightened him. He had never been looked at
with that kind of intensity. The waitress, noticing that they were
finished, came over to clear the table and ask if they wanted desert.
"Would either of you like some desert?"
Kelly answered with a smile in her eyes, "Yes, but not here. We'll
get arrested for performing indecent acts in public."
The answer had come while Ed was taking a sip of iced tea and he
almost choked on it. Even the waitress noticed the shock on his
face. Without missing a beat, the waitress asked, "Should I bring
the bill?"
Ed was still coughing as Kelly answered, "Quickly, please."
"Is he okay?"
About that time, Ed took a deep breath and started to recover.
Kelly said, "I'll tell you tomorrow. Personally, I expect he'll be
great."
Even though the waitress blushed, it was nothing compared to the
blush that washed over Ed. Both women looked at him and
laughed. The effect was to increase his blush to a brighter red. The
waitress left to total the bill, hardly able to contain her laughter.
She liked the woman, but still felt sorry for her. It was nice to see
him blush, she had suspected that he was a blowhard.
Ed paid for the dinner and left with Kelly. He had no idea if she
was serious or not, but she said that she would follow him home.
He drove slowly, unsure of himself and what was going to happen
when they arrived at his place. For a change, the drive home was
too short.
He parked and waited for Kelly to pull up to the driveway. The
light was on at John's place and Ed wished that he had ten minutes
to talk to John before she came over. When she parked, he opened
the door for her. They went into the house. On entry, she looked
around at the house assessing the contents. She said, "You know.
This house does fit you in a way."
He stepped back and looked at her. "Why do you say that?"
She looked around at the room with a critical eye. There were a
few things that she would change if he let her, but it wasn't that bad
of a room. She said, "A lot of the furniture is old and needs to be
replaced by something a lot better. However, some of the furniture
is very nice and will last another lifetime or two. Sturdy and well
built. Reminds me of you, that's all."
Looking around the room, he wasn't sure what needed to be
changed and what should be kept the same. Of course, that
described how he viewed himself too. He laughed, "So you've now
seen my home."
Kelly asked, "Where's your bathroom?"
He led her to the bathroom and turned to return to the living room.
As he walked back to the living room, he heard the shower come
on. Kelly said, "Aren't you going to come in here to wash my
back?"
In mid-step he froze and slowly turned around. She had removed
her shirt and stood there looking at him. That same hungry look
had returned to her eyes. When she dropped her bra, he slowly
stepped forward transfixed by her eyes. She bent down, still
looking at him, and lowered her jeans. Straightening, she stepped
out of the jeans. Standing before him in her panties, he still stared
in her eyes. She smiled and teased, "There's more to look at than
my eyes."
Once his eyes flicked down her body, Ed knew that he was lost.
The only word that came to his mind was perfection and she
defined the word. His body reacted in the manner of men down
through the ages, his cock swelled nearly crippling him with the
pressure in his pants. The pain was so intense that he had to undo
his pants to free his cock from the confines.
Sitting upon the toilet lid, he struggled to remove his boots and
then his socks. Kelly watched with amusement as his fingers
turned to jelly. There was nothing romantic about the way that Ed
thrashed about trying to get undressed. As he finally wrenched his
pants off, he burst out laughing as Kelly joined in. He said, "Well,
if that ain't smooth, I don't know what is."
Kelly giggled, pleased to see that he was able to keep his sense of
humor. Now that he had broken the tension, he was able to remove
his shirt and boxers without much difficulty. Kelly looked at his
erection, pleased that he found her attractive. She lowered her
panties to her knees and then let them fall to the floor. With a
beckoning motion, she stepped into the shower. The water was
warm and perfect for a shower.
Ed followed her into the shower, entranced by her beauty. Picking
up the soap, he slowly lathered her body. He covered every inch of
her skin. Sighing, she felt a thrill throughout her body as he ran his
hands along her limbs and felt every muscle under her skin. The
strong hands caressed her body even as they washed her. The
sensations were almost too much for her, as the care and slow
speed tickled every nerve of her body. When he ran his hands
between her legs, washing her gently, she almost collapsed as her
legs threatened to give out from under her. When he washed her
hands, he slowly soaped each and every finger individually. She
had never experienced anything so sensuous.
The feel of her smooth body under his hands was the most
incredible sensation of his life. Ed nearly came when his hands
caressed her breasts; cupping them in his hands he could feel her
nipples digging into the palms of his hands. When his hands ran
between her legs, he exploded right then. She never knew as the
running water masked what little come made it to her legs. He
knelt and washed her legs, taking his time. Each leg, from top to
bottom was washed with considerable care. His erection never
wilted.
When he had finished washing her, she turned and started to wash
him. She wasn't nearly as patient as he had been. She wanted him
and didn't want to wait. Her hands managed to cover most of his
body, but she spent a considerable amount of time washing his
cock and balls. As her hands ran over his cock, she imagined it
inside her. She was pleased that he didn't come from her touch,
wanting to make sure that he was ready for her.
After rinsing him, she led him from the shower by the hand. When
they reached the living room, she looked to him and asked,
"Where's the bedroom?"
Picking her up in his arms, he carried her into the bedroom and set
her on the bed with a gentleness that he had never shown a woman.
As he kissed her, he lay down next to her. He had never before
been to bed with a woman that wasn't drunk out of her mind.
Unsure of himself, he chose to take his time paying attention to as
much of her body as he could.
Kissing her from head to toe, he returned to that mysterious region
between a woman's legs. Never having kissed a woman there, he
was somewhat lost and let her reaction to his actions guide him. He
must have done it right because she came. Her legs locked around
his head as she made little animal noises. The shaking of her body
fascinated him and made him feel powerful that he could give such
pleasure to a woman.
His body screamed for release. Unable to resist the demands of his
body any longer, he moved between her legs and slowly entered
her. His first orgasm in the shower was long forgotten by a body
that had never known such intense intimacy with a woman. She
wrapped herself around him, urging him on with words and touch.
He quickly reached a fast hard rhythm, unable to hold back his
desire for her. He didn't know how long he was atop her before his
come burst forth. It didn't matter, she was ready for it, an orgasm
washing over her well before he came.
Ed lay next to her, basking in the glorious afterglow of a full body
orgasm. He ran his hands over her body, feeling it shiver under his
touch. He whispered, "You are so beautiful. I love you."
The words shocked both of them in equal measure. He had no idea
that he was going to say that and she had not expected it at all.
Once uttered, he knew it was true beyond a shadow of a doubt. He
did love her.
She wrapped herself around him and held him very tight. Years of
doubt, fear, and worry evaporated under the influence of those
three words. She looked into his eyes wondering if he was the one
that would accept her conditions of marriage. She cooed, "I'm so
lucky to have found you at long last."
It wasn't the declaration of love that one might have expected, but
it was what Ed needed to hear. She could feel him relax under her
touch. Kelly knew could fall for this man, maybe even to the point
of giving up her plans for a group marriage. That idea scared her
much more than she was willing to admit.
He held her tightly and fell asleep, content with his situation, all
doubts gone for the moment. She didn't fall asleep so quickly, but
spent a few minutes watching him sleep. She smiled at the idea
that in some ways he was a normal man that fell asleep after
completing the act. Of course, he had just worked a long day and it
was late.
She was dimly aware of him kissing her in the morning and saying
something to her. While she slept, Ed wrote a note explaining that
he had to work today and that he would call her later. The note was
signed 'Love Ed.' When she woke and read the note, her eyes
became moist.
For Ed, the workday passed quickly. The day after an auction was
pretty easy. He basically sat around until someone showed up to
collect their purchases and helped them load the cattle into the
trailer. The work was not demanding and most of it was done on
foot. Slow rebellious cattle weren't a problem today.
He did take the time to go in the office and order flowers for Kelly.
Ed, seated in the chair next to Nevada, quietly explained what he
wanted the card to read. The woman at the hospital flower shop
knew Kelly and giggled the entire time he placed the order.
Nevada watched him with a grin that went from ear to ear.
When he hung up the phone, Nevada said, "You really like that
lady, don't you?"
"Yeah, I do. She's one of the best things that's ever entered my
life," replied Ed with a quietness in his voice. The tone of his voice
gave a thoughtfulness to his answer that contrasted with the
simplicity of his words.
Deciding to take a chance, Nevada asked, "Is she responsible for
the new quiet Ed?"
It would be nice to give her responsibility for the changes that he
had undergone, but the reality was that he had changed first and
that had allowed the relationship. Ed answered, "No. I saw
something that I didn't believe existed and it made me think about
who and what I was. I met her about the same time."
Raising an eyebrow, Nevada took a sip of his coffee. He wondered
what Ed could have seen that would affect him so much. "UFO?"
The laughter that came from Ed was genuine. Hardly able to
contain himself, he answered, "Hell no. If I had seen one of those,
I'd have immediately gotten drunk. Everyone would have heard
about it."
Nevada could easily imagine that. It still left the question as to
what Ed had seen unanswered. He asked, "So what did you see?"
Ed asked, "What's the bravest thing you've ever done?"
Nevada was thoughtful and couldn't really come up with
something brave. Finally, he said, "Well, I helped get a bull off a
rider in a rodeo once."
Just about anyone that worked a Rodeo a couple of times, had done
that. Ed said, "I saw a real honest to God hero."
When Nevada merely lifted an eyebrow, Ed added, "This guy
basically walked naked through a hundred rattlers to rescue a kid.
Afterwards, he just shrugged it off. I found out that he had run into
burning buildings to rescue people trapped inside, was shot
stepping in front of a bullet meant for someone else, and ... Shit,
there are just too many things this guy did that are brave."
"That impressed you?" He recalled that Ed had taken some guy to
the hospital last week for snakebites. He hadn't gotten the whole
story, but from what Ed said it sounded to him like the guy was
prone to exaggeration.
"A little."
"And he told you all about his heroic deeds?" Nevada wondered
what kind of blowhard Ed had decided to believe.
"He didn't say a word. It was all in his medical record," replied Ed.
He added, "The doctor read it out loud as she examined the scars
on his body."
"And all that impressed you?"
Ed laughed and said, "What impressed me was that he was
embarrassed by the attention. He's modest, quiet, helpful,
considerate, and smart. He's everything that I'm not."
Nevada was quiet for a moment and considered everything that Ed
had said. If what Ed had seen was true, then he had found a very
good role model. He liked Ed a lot more this way than his former
boastful and loud self. He finally said, "I like the new Ed a lot
more than the old Ed. Kelly's a lucky lady to have found you at the
time she did."
Ed stood and replied, "No. She's not lucky. I'm the lucky one. Two
weeks ago, she'd have slapped me."
Nevada, eyes narrowing as he studied Ed while he left the office,
wondered if the change was permanent. He had been getting rather
good feedback about Ed from the customers. If the change was for
the better and it lasted, he'd give him a raise. His comment about
the bidding pen the previous night had a ring of rightness about it.
Ed wandered out to the yard to take care of the work there. A few
buyers arrived at the same time and Ed took care of them all in
short order. Finally, there were a few pens containing the cattle
bought by the same buyer. He only had to wait for that customer to
arrive and once done could leave for home. In the mean time, he
leaned against the fence looking at the desert spread out in front of
