“Okay, little darling let me make sure everything is locked up.” She walked off into the bedroom while I secured the house before joining her. She was in bed with the covers over her and the pillows at her back.
We’d got to using candles at night instead of electricity because it made everything seem so cozy and she’d lit the ones on her night table and mine. “Should we light the fire tonight you think, or is it still too warm?”
“Oh that would be nice.” I already had the wood ready and all it took was adding some kindling and striking a match. I made sure it was fine before going around the bed to my side and climbing in under the covers.
I moved close to her back and wrapped my arm around her. Her hand reached for mine and pulled it higher over her breast. I caressed her as we talked about the coming winter and all the fun things there was to do around here this time of year.
She was excited for me to teach her how to can vegetables and make jam the way my mama had taught me. By the time she pushed back and slightly raised her leg I was already hard as a pike and all it took was for me to angle my hips and slip my cock up inside her while we carried on our conversation.

I’m not sure when it happened, but I couldn’t have been here that long when he started making sense. Every morning I woke up and went outside and the air was fresh and crisp. All around me was peace and quiet and the most beautiful land I’d ever seen.
T-Bone spent almost every second with me, teaching me things. I even learned how to milk the cows and find the eggs the hens laid for the day.
I was learning so much here, like how to make candles and soap, who knew that stuff could me so much fun? T-Bone had taught Rex how to accept me and now he just follows me around when I go outside instead of growling and carrying on, he was just a big old softie.
T-Bone taught me how to make the soda bread his mama used to make and we had fun with that and a whole lot of other things his mama had taught him when he was just a little boy. My mom never taught me shit but how to be mean and to hate men.
The first morning I woke up and found jeans and the softest cashmere sweater thrown over the old rocker in the bedroom with new riding boots and a kickass shearling jacket I almost had a heart attack.
I ran into the kitchen where he was getting the coffee ready, sure I made a sight but I didn’t care. “I’m not going back, you can’t make me.” I was already in tears and my little fists were clenched so tight I thought they would break.
“What is it Angel, did you have a bad dream?” He turned and came to me, taking me in his arms but I was mad as hell. I pounded his chest and yelled at him until he grabbed both my hands and held them in one of his.
“Stop that before you hurt yourself. Now tell me darling, what’s wrong?”
“Why are you making me leave?” I hiccupped and bawled like an infant.
“What are you talking about? You’re not going anywhere.” I took his hand and dragged him down the hall to our bedroom and pointed to the clothes.
“Then what’s that?”
“Well, it’s a bit chilly in the house and you like the fire more than the gas heat and I don’t want you catching your death of cold so I figured you should have something on other than socks. See, I’m wearing my sweats too.”
I finally calmed down when I saw the truth of his words. He didn’t laugh or make fun of the fact that I was crying to stay when only a few weeks ago I’d been begging to leave. He just took my hand and led me back to the kitchen.
“Sit, breakfast will be ready soon. I think Samson that old reprobate bred five heifers. Only two didn’t catch but that’s okay, he’ll get them next time.”
“That’s great. T how many babies does a cow have?”
“Well now that depends. Most only have one calf at a time, but every once in a while you might find one who’d have two or maybe three.”
“Oh okay. And how long is a cow pregnant for?”
“About the same amount of time as a woman give or take, forty weeks or so. I was just thinking if you caught our day in the barn then our baby should be coming just about the same time as that last one we saw bred.”
