"Whoa, slow down. The ranch is in Wyoming and
yes we have both horses and cows. A boy named Eric who is a couple
of years older than you lives on the ranch with us and a girl the
same age as Eric named Dani lives on the ranch next door. Your Aunt
Evelyn and Janie and Jeff are going to come live with us on the
ranch too in the near future. You can play baseball and ride horses
any time you want to. We are going to fly to Wyoming in my
helicopter tomorrow."
"A helicopter, really? That's going to be so
cool!" exclaims Damian.
******
Dylan and Damian arrive at the ranch just
before noon the following day. When they land everyone is waiting
in the drive to meet Damian. As Dylan helps Damian down from the
passenger seat he can't help but smile. Damian's eyes are as big as
saucers and his face is glowing with excitement. He says, "This is
it? This is where we're going to live?"
Dylan says, "This is it. Do you like it?"
Damian says, "Wow, I've never seen a house
that big."
Standing in the drive watching as Dylan and
the young boy cross the expanse from the helipad and step onto the
drive, my heart is pounding with apprehension. He looks so little,
just like a miniature Dylan. I've never thought about having
children before. What if he doesn't like me? Will it change the way
Dylan feels about me? Oh, God. I'm not sure I can do this!
Dylan works his way down the line introducing
Damian to everyone. When he reaches me, he says, "Damian, this is
Skye."
I smile and say, "Hello Damian, I'm very glad
to meet you."
He takes my offered hand in his little one
and says, "You sure have pretty blue eyes."
Blushing I reply, "Why, thank you."
Standing next to me, Eric says, "Hey Damian,
I'm Eric. Come on and I'll show you around. This is the best place
in the world to live. Do you know how to ride a horse? Don't worry,
I'll teach you," and they run off toward the barn.
Watching them leave, Dylan reaches for my
hand and brushes his lips across my knuckles. Smiling he says, "I
think he is going to be just fine."
"Dylan, he is so cute. He looks just like
you."
He turns to Melanie and gives her a brotherly
hug, "Hey Beautiful, where's the baby? I haven't gotten to see him
yet."
Barry, grinning with pride puts his arm
around Melanie's waist and says, "It's nap time. You'll get to see
him at dinner. How was your trip?"
"It was good. Damian seems to be handling his
mother's death very well. I think I would like for him to have a
few sessions with Eric's counselor just to be sure. Can you arrange
it please? I would also like to build my own place come spring.
Would that be all right?"
"Certainly, I don't have a problem with that.
Pick your location and I'll draw up a deed with a few acres."
"When Evelyn comes, I'll want to build her
something too," adds Dylan.
"Sure, unless Goose decides he wants to build
her something," grins Barry. Goose's infatuation with Dylan's
beautiful sister did not go unnoticed by Barry.
******
Stump is so excited. He just got off the
phone with Bear and he and his mother have decided to get married.
When Stump suggested they have the wedding at the ranch so Skye can
attend Bear thought that was a great idea. He asked Stump to clear
it with Barry and let him know.
He hunts Barry down in the barn and says,
"Hey Farrie, would you mind if my Mom and Dad have their wedding
here at the ranch? Dad wants Skye to be able to attend."
Smiling, Barry says, "Of course not! That's
wonderful Stump, when do they want to have it?"
Frowning Stump says, "Well, he didn't say.
Let's call them and see." Dialing the number he puts his cell on
speaker. When Bear answers Stump says, "Dad? When did you want to
have the wedding? Barry is standing right here with me
listening."
Bear says, "Jesse, when do you want to have
the wedding?"
Jesse says, "I don't care. Soon!"
Barry says, "How about Christmas Eve? The
house is beautifully decorated and it won't be a problem to get a
caterer here. Do you want me to send the jet for you?"
"That's only two weeks away, are you sure you
can get it all together by then?" asks Jesse.
"Of course I'm sure. I have a house full of
women that love to entertain. Make sure Johnny and his family plan
on staying for a few days too. I'll send the jet to pick you all
up, just let me know when," says Barry.
Bear says, "Jesse and I plan on flying to
Kalispell and spending a few days at the cabin after the wedding.
Barry, I really appreciate your letting us have the wedding at your
place. I really would like for Skye to be able to attend."
"It's no problem at all. We'll see you guys
in a couple of weeks," says Barry.
******
When Goose shows up alone at the ranch later
that day, Dylan is shocked and concerned about Evelyn. "Goose,
what's up man? I thought you were going to stay and help Evelyn
pack."
Shaking his head he says, "I'm sorry man.
That is one stubborn woman. I'm not sure I've ever met a woman with
more pride than she has. She's not coming because she's not going
to take charity from you or Barry. At least that's what she told
me. She said she depended on one man and he dumped on her and she
will never put her trust in another one, not even you."
"Hey, it's not your fault Goose. Maybe I can
convince her to come out for a few days during Christmas vacation.
I think if I can get her here she will change her mind."
******
Dylan is finding it more difficult to get
time alone with Skye now that Damian is at the ranch. He had to
enroll him in school in Cody and that took days to complete. Damian
had to take tests so he could be placed in the appropriate classes.
Much to Dylan's surprise he tested two grades higher than his age
would have suggested in Math and Science. He showed exceptional
aptitude in computer technology and he and Pinky have become fast
friends spending hours working side by side at the computer.
Damian and Dylan have spent hours with Eric
and I riding through the hills around the ranch. Damian is becoming
quite the horseman and he and Eric help the ranch hands care for
the horses.
The counselor that spoke to Damian has
assured Dylan that Damian is well adjusted and not suffering any
residual effects from his mother's death. Dylan considers that
somewhat of a miracle and he thanks God for that blessing.
One week after arriving back at the ranch, he
puts Damian to bed and heads over to the house to try to spend a
few minutes alone with Skye. Knocking on the front door, he is
greeted by Barry. "Hey Barry, is Skye still around? I was hoping to
see her for a few minutes."
"Hey Dylan, come on in. I think she is in her
room. Do you know which one is hers?"
"Yeah, thanks," and he heads down the hall to
Skye's room.
He knocks lightly on the door, "Come in."
Slowly opening the door he says, "Skye?" He
looks around the door and he sees her sitting in a rocker by the
window reading. She has a flowing pale blue robe on over her
nightgown and her hair is lying in waves around her shoulders. She
is the most beautiful vision he has ever seen and his heart is
pounding, his breath coming in short shallow gasps, and his mouth
is dry.
Surprised I say, "Dylan! Come in." My heart
immediately speeds up and warmth flows through my veins.
He closes the door behind him, crosses the
room to my chair and slowly kneels at my feet. He clasps my hands
in his and gazes into my eyes, "Hey Beautiful, I hope you don't
mind my dropping by. I just wanted to see you for a few
minutes."
I slide off the chair onto my knees facing
him, staring into the dark green depths of his eyes, "Of course I
don't mind. Please kiss me Dylan."
He pulls me into his arms and slowly lowers
me to the soft carpet covering my lips with his, gently nibbling
around the edges. Moaning I open my mouth to his and he plunges his
tongue into the depths savoring my sweetness and my warmth.
Tangling his tongue with mine he runs his hands down my back
pulling me closer. Rolling to his back, he pulls me on top of his
body while he caresses my back, my sides, and my buttocks while
kissing me deeply. He savors the feel of my soft breasts against
his chest wishing they were lying skin to skin.
He moves his mouth to the gentle curve of my
neck and rolls me beneath him. Gazing down in to the blue depths of
my eyes, he feels like he's drowning.
He lowers his head and tenderly brushes his
lips against mine, "Oh Skye, the things you do to me." Slowly
lowering his head he gently takes my lips with his delving deeply
into my sweetness. He moves his hand from my hip up my side to the
underside of my breast where he teases me by barely brushing his
fingertips against the sensitive mound. I gasp.
My heart is pounding and my breathing ragged.
The minute Dylan's lips touched mine all of my senses flew right
out the window. All I can do is feel and oh what feelings he is
creating in my body. I have never in my life felt such glorious
feelings.
Raising his head, he unties the bow at my
throat and pulls the sides of my robe away revealing my breasts
only covered by a thin layer of silk. My rosy nipples are clearly
visible and pucker invitingly under his warm gaze.
"Oh Skye, you are so beautiful you take my
breath away," he whispers. Watching my eyes he slowly raises his
hand and brushes the palm slowly across the puckering peak and sees
me shiver in response. When he senses no fear, he lowers his mouth
and slowly circles one nipple with his tongue through the silk of
my gown. I moan and pull his head tighter against my breast. Taking
that as an invitation he draws my nipple into his mouth and gently
suckles for long minutes. Moving to the other breast he gently
suckles while rolling the first nipple between his thumb and finger
and plucks at it gently. When I start moving restlessly beneath him
he raises his head and looks questioningly into my eyes. Seeing
only desire, he lowers his head and takes my sweet lips plunging
his tongue into my warmth.
"You are so sweet, so responsive, I can't get
enough of you," he gasps.
He lowers his head to my lips once again and
dives back into my sweetness. As his tongue gently mimics the act
of lovemaking he moves his hand slowly up my side raising my gown
as he goes. When he touches the bare skin of my thigh I moan again
and restlessly move beneath him. Using his knee to spread my legs
he slowly moves his hand beneath my panties to the curls at my
apex. Finding the center of sensation he gently massages my nub as
I become more restless beneath him.
I am drowning in sensation. I can't think, I
can only feel. A building tension between my legs keeps me moving
restlessly. I don't know what's happening but it is wonderful. As I
feel him move his hand between my legs I have a second of panic but
the feeling he is creating is so exquisite I can't muster a
complaint. That wonderful feeling between my legs is growing
stronger. I feel like I am struggling to reach for something but
I'm not sure what.
Dylan feels me tense briefly then relax and
continue moving restlessly. "Oh Sweetheart, that's it, don't think,
just feel," he encourages. He continues to kiss me deeply as he
explores my opening and finds me wet and ready. Lifting his head
briefly, he says,
"Oh Skye, you are so wet, so hot, so ready
for me."
Dipping his tongue into the sweetness of my
mouth, he plunges two fingers into my wetness and he feels me tense
again.
"Don't' think, just feel. That's it Baby,
just feel."
Slowly withdrawing his fingers he plunges
back inside while at the same time applying pressure to one special
spot and he feels the moment I crash over the edge into ecstasy. I
cry out and he feels my feminine muscles contract around his
fingers and he raises his head to watch me climax, his heart
pounding heavily.
Oh God! I'm flying! I plunge over the edge of
reality into ecstasy, wave after wave of exquisite sensation
flowing through my body. As I slowly drift back to earth I open my
eyes and see Dylan smiling warmly at me. He lowers his head and
tenderly kisses my lips. As my breathing returns to normal I smile
back.
"How's that for a new memory?" he asks.
"Oh Dylan! I never dreamed I could feel like
that," I whisper wondrously
Staring into the deep blue depths of my eyes,
he slowly moves his fingers to his mouth, sucking gently and
getting his first taste of my essence and he moans with
pleasure.
He pulls the sides of my robe back together
and ties the bow at my throat. Rising to his feet he extends his
hand to help me up from the floor.
Disappointed I ask, "You're leaving?"
"Yes, I think that's enough for tonight.
Sleep well, Skye." He lowers his head and gently kisses my lips
before turning and walking to the door. Taking one last look back
at me, he opens the door and leaves.
When he's gone, I look at my reflection in
the mirror. My face is flushed and my eyes are dilated. That was
the most amazing experience of my life. Studying my reflection, I
realize that I have fallen in love with Dylan Drake.
As Dylan is walking across the yard to the
barn he realizes that he's a goner. He has fallen head over heels
in love with Skye. Watching her as she climaxed was the most
amazing experience of his life. Knowing he was the first person to
ever help her reach the heights of ecstasy was as fulfilling as any
climax he has ever had. Smiling to himself he heads for the
bathroom and an ice cold shower.
Bear, Jesse, Johnny and his family arrive at
the ranch on December 23
rd
. All of the preparations for
the wedding are complete and everyone is excited about the upcoming
nuptials. Glowing with happiness Jesse is sitting on the sofa in
the great room in front of the fireplace when I sit down beside
her.
