I swallowed. âNever mind, I took care of that one. And, yes, you shoot pretty straight. Quite a range too.â
His head had snapped back against the headrest as he came, his mouth flying open and his eyes rolling back in his head, but he still managed a smile. âI can do better if Iâm not dehydrated.â
âWell, thenâ¦â Lowering the console, I reached between the seat backs and flipped up the lid on the cooler. Grabbing a bottle of water, I slapped it into his hand. âDrink up. If you donât mind my askingâalthough since youâre my boy toy, I feel I have the right to knowâwhatâs your turnaround time?â
Twisting off the bottle cap, he shrugged. âI dunnoâ¦twenty minutes, maybe?â
At sixty miles an hour, that was twenty miles.
Damn. Maybe there really was at least one man alive who could actually fuck all the way to Jackson Holeâand out of all the people who must have passed by him as he trudged along the highway, lucky me, I had been the one to pick him up. For the first time in my life, I had an idea of how that girl in the flatbed Ford might have feltâand it was a very nice feelingâjust as Iâd always known it would be.
âSounds good.â I patted his bare thigh. âPut your pants on and weâll head for home.â
âHow much farther did you say it was to the ranch?â He took a long swig from the bottle before pulling up his jeans. Iâll admit to being slightly disappointed when he zipped his fly and buckled his belt. I could hardly wait for his rampant penis to escape again.
âAbout twenty minutes.â
With two fucks when we get there.
Chapter 4
Funny how things never seem to work out quite the way we think they should. For one thing, Troy didnât clean my truckâwell, maybe he did, but it only took a quick hit with a Kleenex to remove the evidence. With no one at the house to question where my stray cowboy had come from, all I had to do was show him in and direct him to the nearest shower. I helped him undress, of course, but a thorough examination of his feet only uncovered a few small blisters. This discovery, while fortunate for him, made my plan to keep him in the house for a few days unnecessaryâwhich was un fortunate for me.
While he was in the shower, I made use of the time to fabricate a better story to explain his sudden appearance. Although he wouldnât have been the first cowboy to show up at the barn door looking for work, I figured I could say a friend had recommended him for a job while I was in townâperhaps even dropping him off at the ranch. That way there would be no need to explain why Iâd picked him up on the highway. Whoever had driven by and honked must have assumed there was no one in the truck when I didnât wave back. If asked, I could always say Iâd dropped something and pulled over to the side of the road to retrieve it.
At any rate, by the time Dad came back to the house, I was in the office discussing employment with a freshly showered and perfectly respectable cowboy. That I had stolen a few more kisses from him wouldnât have been obvious to anyone. Iâd wanted to watch him in the showerâperhaps even help him out. Unfortunately, I had no idea when Dad might be back, so I figured it was best not to get caught with him right off the bat. Alas, I was forced to let him shower alone.
Sitting across the desk from Troy while we went over the paperwork was an exercise in self-restraint the likes of which I hadnât experienced in quite some time. Knowing what he had hidden in those jeans and what thoughts lurked behind those fabulous blue eyes was enough to make me want to leap over the desk and do something .
Since I wasnât going to pay him any more than what the other hands were paid when they hired on, no one could accuse me of paying for sex. I only wished weâd had the opportunity to go over the
