She had been walking for a half hour when she heard the sound of another rider approaching. Soon she could see him, riding at a fast trot toward her, her wayward horse's reins in one hand, while he handled his own with the other, moving with an ease that showed years of experience.
"Looks like I may have found something of yours", he called as he pulled up, a smile playing across his face. The smile transformed him, somehow.. Karen suddenly felt like she knew him already.
"Thanks for finding him. I don't know why he bolted." she replied.
The rider dismounted, sliding out of the saddle smoothly. "I think I spotted the problem, ma'am.." he said. "The buckle on the saddle has worn out, and I think it was digging into his side. Look here... your saddle won't tighten properly. I think you'd best not try using it until we can get it repaired."
Karen looked forward down the path, looking in the direction of the unseen ranch house. "Mmm. Yeah, you're probably right. I guess I'll just lead him back. Look, thanks for the help, really... my name's Karen" she continued, extending her hand.
"David. Pleased to meet you, Karen." He looked down for a moment, then back up into her eyes. "Look, Karen... I can't have you walking that whole way. I'll be hours. Why don't you let me ride you back."
Karen looked David over for the first time. A solid looking build, sandy blonde hair, blue eyes... but his smile was what won her over. He looked like someone she could trust. She nodded. "I'd appreciate that, thanks."
Minutes later they were riding back down the trail, her horse following obediently behind. As they rode, out of necessity Karen found herself holding David's waist. The gentle movements of the horse relaxed her after a while, and she caught the scent of his after-shave. She found her hands sliding further around his waist, and she linked her fingers casually under his ribs, allowing herself to press a little closer to David's back. She was surprised to find herself suddenly sitting up straight, lifting her cheek from his back, as the horse came to a halt.
"I think you drifted off for a bit there," David's voice sounded amused.
Karen's face felt a little warm. "I guess I did. Sorry about that."
David grinned again. "Perfectly alright, ma'am. I rather enjoyed it." Then he caught himself, a slightly guilty look on his face. Clearing his throat, he continued "Well, we're here. Why don't you head into the main house and I'll see to the horses."
Karen slid to the ground, thanking him, and headed inside to clean up. The ranch was a resort getaway, and she'd been here a little over a week now, a much needed break from the stress of her work in the city. As she walked toward the main resort house, she looked back for a moment to watch David leading the horses to the barn. He turned to look back at her as well, and she looked away, smiling to herself.
An hour later she was feeling much more herself. And feeling like she wanted to thank David again for his help. She wandered out to the barn, finding him inside, working on the broken saddle buckle. The horses looked comfortable in their stables, munching oats, and looking freshly brushed.
David looked up at her entry, his smile lighting up his face again. "Looking to go out again?" he grinned the question.
"No, not just yet," Karen laughed. "But I wanted to thank you for the ride back."
"Not a problem, ma'am" he said, still smiling. "It was my pleasure."
It was at that moment that Karen suddenly felt that same warm flush rising in face. And in her chest. Something about David... his easy smile... his eyes. Something about him was making her react like she hadn't in years. She moved closer to him, closing the gap between them, and looking up into his eyes she was shocked to see that he too was blushing slightly.
"Well, I wanted to thank you properly, good sir" she kidded, her voice dropping to something just above a whisper. Now she was a scant foot from the man. She suddenly leaned in, without thinking, pressing her lips to his for a moment, then just as quickly leaning back. "So, thank you." she whispered.
David blinked, as if he'd been momentarily stunned, then with a step he moved close, sliding an arm around her back, and pulled her in, his lips meeting hers again, but longer this time, deeper, for a moment teasing her lower lip gently with his. Karen's own arms came up, then, her fingers sliding into his hair, pressing him close. She could hear her pulse in her ears, sound seemed to disappear, it was just the two of them, in that moment, two bodies suddenly very aware of each other. Finally he pulled back, breaking from her lips for a moment, looking into her eyes, questioning, wondering if he'd trespassed too far. Karen pressed her hand to his chest, stepping back, but a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"Have to go." she half-whispered. "Maybe I'll see you... later." She noted the flush in David's skin, realizing it probably matched her own. She turned, then, deliberately walking slower than she wanted to, turning to smile again before leaving, to see David was still standing, still looking half stunned, half bemused. He nodded then, with a quiet "Later" in answer.
As David watched Karen leave, he found he, for once, was at a loss for words. The kiss had surprised him. He'd enjoyed helping Karen back to the ranch. The feeling of her, pressing against his back, had been relaxing, and at the same time, had caused an awakening he'd be somewhat embarrassed about.. Her arms around him had started romantic thoughts on the ride back, and his body had responded in kind. When she drifted off, her head on his shoulder, it was all he could do to keep his mind on guiding the horses back to the barn. He'd thought her beautiful when he'd first seen her, but hadn't thought she'd notice him at all. Now, leaning against the saddle horse, he was suddenly aware of how much she aroused him. And then she'd kissed him.
He finally blinked, as if clearing his head, muttered a low "Wow", before sitting back on a hay bale, still staring a the door. He wondered if he would see her again. Then decided he would have to make sure he did.
Karen headed back to the main ranch house, grabbed some dinner, and ate, quietly, thinking about the events of the day. She was sitting on the porch, sipping a glass of red wine, watching the sunset, when David appeared beside her.
"Karen, I was wondering..." he started. She looked up at him, his eyes looked fiery blue in the dying light of the day. "I was wondering if you'd like me to come with you riding, tomorrow. I know a good trail we could take. And I'd feel better if I was there in case that saddle gives you any more trouble..." he trailed off.
Karen grinned.. She could see he was out of practice. "Sure," she replied, "I was planning on heading out around 10. Sound good?"
That smile lit David's face again. "Great. I'll... see you at 10, then." He nodded, almost a slight bow, before turning.
Karen watched him go. He was like a teenager. For that matter, she felt a bit like one herself. As the final rays of the sun slipped from the sky, she finished her wine, and headed inside, determined to find a nice hot bath, and a good nights sleep.
The next morning dawned another sunny day. Karen dressed for the trail, in jeans, a buttoned blouse, riding boots. She had breakfast with the other guests in the main dining room, but David wasn't there. Probably getting the horses ready.
Arriving at the barn, she saw she was right. He had both horse saddled, and a set of saddle bags across the rear of his.
"Thought I'd pack a picnic lunch." he smiled, following her eyes.
"Good idea." Karen replied. David held the reins of her gelding while she mounted, then swung up onto his own mount. She noted he was dressed much as she; jeans, work shirt, cowboy boots. They headed off down a trail to the north, side by side. After half an hour, David pointed off to the right, to a barely visible track leading up into the trees.
"This is a trail I like to use now and then, to get away from the crowd. It leads to a small lake. Want to try it?" he asked.
Karen felt light butterflies in her stomach, at the idea of being alone with this almost-stranger, but nodded. "Let's go."
David led the way up the trail, into the trees. They rode for another hour, chatting about family, friends, their work. Karen could feel an almost electric tension between them, though, the entire time. Finally the trail broke from the trees, and Karen gasped slightly at the sight in front of her. The lake was beautiful. A long meadow stretched for a half-mile before them, then the glass-like surface of the lake unfolded, reflecting like a mirror the trees and mountain range that lay on the far shore. It was like something out of a painting.
"Thought you might like this place." murmured David, smiling again.
They dismounted, and David produced a surprisingly varied picnic lunch from his saddle bags. Cheeses, French bread, even a nice red wine, complete with glasses. "Had to ride a little more gently with these."
They sat, ate lightly, neither one seeming to be very hungry. Karen could feel the wine hitting her a bit, without the food to act as a buffer.
"So, want to go for a swim?"
Karen blinked. Turned to look at David, with an 'Are you serious?' look on her face.
David just nodded, eyebrows raised. "Yeah, I mean it. The lake is beautiful and clear. And not nearly as cold as it looks. The sun really warms it during the summer. Probably around seventy degrees, by now."
Karen was feeling suddenly warm. Yet, the thought was inviting. She normally was so tied down in her work, her life... this was like something she might have done as a teen. A wicked grin flashed across her face. "Why not."
Then she stopped. "Wait. I don't have a suit with me." David grinned. "Don't worry. I brought one of my extra t-shirts. I thought you might need it. If you think it'll be good enough...?" he trailed off, a hopeful sound in his voice.
Karen grinned back at him, nodding. "That should be fine."
David handed her the shirt, and stepped to the other side of the horses to give her a bit of privacy. Karen stripped to the waist, donning the t-shirt quickly, noting with a warm feeling that her nipples were already firming. She slipped off her jeans, deciding her panties would act as enough for a bikini bottom.
"All set?" David's voice asked from the other side of his mount.
"Mhm", Karen replied, stepping out from behind hers.
David was wearing what looked to be boxer briefs, but could almost have been a bathing suit, Karen couldn't tell. He eyes blinked momentarily to his waist, noting that the wine was apparently affecting him a bit as well. Blushing slightly, she ran for the beach.
They water was as David promised, sparkling clear and surprisingly warm. They swam for a bit, enjoying the coolness on their skin, before resting in the shallows of the lake.
Karen looked at David, then. The water was curling his hair a bit, and his eyes... she froze for a moment, seeing his eyes were looking deeply into her own. She could see something there. A hunger? David moved closer to her, slowly. Karen's eyes were locked with his, and she didn't move away. Finally near enough to touch.
"Karen..." his voice was low, a murmur. "I..."
Before he could continue, she closed the gap between them, her lips pressing his. David moaned slightly, a muffled "mmmph" escaping him, as his arms came around her, pulling her close. She could feel him, beneath the water, pressing to her, a heat that the water couldn't cool. She widened her legs then, allowing David to pressed closer, hooking one leg behind his as his hands slid down her back, supporting her, balancing her.
The kiss deepened, David's lips nibbling at her own, he gently pulled her lower lip between his again, and she responded with a teasing flick of her tongue, her own hands boldly moving down between them, sliding down his stomach, over his suit, her fingers outlining his arousal. At her touch, David moaned again, louder this time, gasping slightly.
"Oh, Karen..." he shuddered. "I've wanted you since yesterday."
"I know." she replied, her fingers squeezing him gently through the fabric.
His eyes opened, then, looking again to hers. She could see the raw hunger there now, no longer hidden. A smile began to quirk the corners of her mouth, and she nodded, slowly, while her fingers slipped beneath the waistband of David's shorts, earning another shudder from him when she gently closed her hand around his length.
David's hands were moving, then, stripping the t-shirt from her in a single motion, her breasts falling free. He lifted her a bit, gently sucking a nipple between his lips, nursing it softly with kisses, swirling his tongue. She felt a fresh heat flood her body as her own arousal shook her, a shiver running through her as David's hands cupped her ass, pressing her against his now rock-hard shaft.
"I think we need to lose something..." she giggled, fingers tugging at his shorts.
He blushed slightly then, laughing, and in moments they were both naked beneath the lake water. David kissed her with the hunger of a man ravenous with need. Karen wrapped her legs around his waist, reaching down, grasping him, guiding him, until he was pressing into the mouth of her cleft. At the touch, David gasped, kisses momentarily forgotten, staggered as he was by her softness. His desire to be inside her an urgent driving force, but he slowed himself, deliberately. He didn't want his excitement to overpower the moment, and he began rocking against her, gently, slowly moving deeper into her in measured strokes. Karen gasped as his length pressed into her, widening her as he filled her. As he moved she could feel her own desire building, until he finally slid completely into her, pressing himself deep, her clit brushed by his hairs. She rolled her hips against him, then, while he held himself deep inside her, lifting her gently, lowering her again, letting the buoyancy of the water work with them.. Karen's arms were around David's head, holding him while they moved together, moved faster. She could feel her orgasm rising now, feel David pressing himself against her deliberately, rolling his hips back at hers, his groin pressing into her clit in a rhythm that was building, in waves, rising towards that crest. His lips teased hers, licks, nibbling at her neck, hungry kisses, his breathing getting heavier as his own orgasm grew closer. Suddenly he stopped, holding himself deep inside her.
"Don't move, love", he gasped.
She could feel his length, pulsing inside her, so close, so very close. His eyes were closed, and he held her this way for long seconds, before moving again.
"Sorry", he whispered, "that was close..."
Karen grinned, kissing him again, riding his length, her hands behind his neck, now, holding her balance as he stroked into her, longer strokes now, sliding almost all the way out of her, before filling her again. Once again she could feel the tingling build, centered below where they were joined, waves building inside her, until finally David held her close, again, rubbing his pelvic bone into her, tight, the sudden surge of attention to her clit sending her over the edge. She gasped, biting into his shoulder as she shuddered against him. That was all he needed. A few quick thrusts and he too hit his peak, a muffled roar escaping his throat as he shook, pulsing inside her. Karen could feel a bloom of heat within her as he came, throbbing inside her, her legs holding him tight, both of them shaking as the waves of passion rolled over them.
Finally his grip on her eased, his lips trailing kisses down her face, finding hers, a contented sigh escaping as he rocked gently inside her. David eased them to the shore, until Karen felt the lake bottom under her. He stayed inside her, and they lay that way, kissing softly, the lake quiet around them.
"You are amazing." he murmured, his eyes looking over her, water droplets dotting her skin, drinking in her sensuality.
"Mm..." Karen lifted herself onto her elbows. "I think this water is feeling a little cool. I don't suppose you brought an extra blanket in those saddle bags?"
David nodded. "A good boy scout is always prepared."
Karen wiggled her hips gently against him, feeling him still inside her, noting he was starting to respond again. "I think I'd like to warm up a bit... perhaps we can continue this ashore?"
David's eyes danced. "Mmmm... I like that idea."
