The Rancher's Daughter Read Online Free Page B

hadn’t helped cook.  Josey stepped out the back door and walked to the barn.  She rolled down her sleeves since it was a little chilly out.  She got a lead rope and walked out to catch Legend.  Heath followed grabbing a second lead rope.  “Mind if I join you?” He asked.  She shook her head and smiled “You can take the gray.”  She said.  She watched as he saddled her fathers’ horse up.  It fit him she thought.  This was the one man, whom could take up the reins of her fathers’ ranch and set things straight.  She saddled legend with ease.  It was so natural to her.  She rode out often checking fence and checking cattle.  It was a daily habit of hers.  She got her saddlebags , and checked to make sure she had fencing tools. Then she added some bottled waters on the other side.  She tied it off to the saddle and pulled the headstall over Legends head. He didn’t fight the bit at all.  She checked the girth one last time before stepping up in the saddle.  She wasn’t very tall but she was limber enough that she mounted with ease.  Heath followed, close behind.  They rode out to the south pasture, in silence. 
                  About an hour out, she found a broken wire in the fence.  She dismounted and got out her fencing pliers and pulled on her gloves and set to work. Heath dismounted and helped.  He helped her bend and stretch the wire until he was sure it would hold then they got a bottle of water out.  They sat down in the shade and let the horses get a belly full of grass while they drank their water and talked. This was what it would be like to work beside the woman you love. This is how it would have been if he’d stayed, he thought. 
    Her hair was down and the wind blew it in her face.  The hat on her head only managed to keep it out of her eyes.  It settled in the corner of her mouth catching in the wet crease.  Heath smoothed it behind her ear with one gloved hand and just like before he bent and kissed her, knocking the hat off her head.  This time the kiss was more passionate and dragged his hand down her side resting on her right breast. He rubbed and fondled until it peaked.  She moaned and leaned back. Heath followed until he was on top of her.  He pulled his glove off with his teeth and spit it out.  His hand went back to the peak it had just left and then slid to the other one.  He held himself up on his left arm and unbuttoned her blouse with his right hand, never taking his lips off her.
                  Sliding the shirt to the side and pulling her bra down. He rested the small mound in his hand and found its peak once again only this time with his warm mouth.  He licked, sucked and nibbled at the peak before moving to the next breast.  Josey ran her hand through his hair tugging on it and arching her back toward him.  She hadn’t felt so much pleasure since last she was with him and she knew it was too soon but nothing would let her stop it.  This man, whom she had never stopped loving, was in her arms pleasuring her with his mouth. 
                  The horses neighed and they heard another horse answer in the distance they sat up Josey fixed her bra and buttoned her shirt. She stood up and Heath placed her hat on her head, then reached down and grabbed the water bottle.  Sam rode up and greeted them.  “I thought I heard some horses greeting my Little Gyp.” He said.  “You taking a break?”  He asked.  Heath answered. “We just finished we were about to mount back up.  We found a break in the fence and fixed it. We got a little thirsty. Where are you heading?” he asked his dad.  “Just checking the fences son, but I see y’all have it covered.  I think I’ll head on over to the West and check things out over there.” The smile on his face told Heath that he knew exactly what they were doing.  If that didn’t do it, his next sentence proved it. “Behave yourselves now. Ya here?” he teased,
