The Cowboy Who Strolled Into Town (60 page)

Jenna's voice grew soft as the memory rushed through her mind, and she remembered being held in her mother's arms as she stared up at the stars, and in the background her father watched them with adoring love in his eyes. Riley continued to push her as a comfortable silence descended upon them.

“I've never looked through a telescope before,” Riley said after a while. Jenna twisted her head around and looked at him with surprise. With a slight hint of reluctance in her voice she asked him if he wanted to see hers. The two of them shared a closeness that was rare for them, and they both felt like there was something special between them but it was scary for there was still much they didn't know about each other.

“If you're sure,” he said. She nodded.

“I really don't feel like going back there by myself, and I'm not ready for the night to end yet...” she said, looking at him with her wide eyes. They walked back to the car and as they did, their fingers brushed against each other, and their hands found each other. They clasped each other tightly and felt the warmth of each other’s flesh in the chilled night. Then the car roared away, and Jenna directed Riley to her house.

“I apologize for the mess. I haven't had a chance to tidy up,” she said. Riley told her it didn't matter. She offered him a drink as they went up to her room. It felt strange and empty to Jenna, but she tried to put thoughts about her father out of her mind. She led Riley up the stairs and they took a seat by the window. The telescope looked out, angled high to peer into the endless night sky. Riley leaned over and peered through as Jenna narrated everything he could see. He gasped in awe as he was shown the cosmos. As they spoke they got closer and closer to each other, until they could taste each other’s sweet breath. With a blanket of stars looking overhead they grew closer to each other, and the intimacy grew.

“This is so beautiful, the second most beautiful thing I've ever seen,” he said, and then looked Jenna directly in the eyes. He brushed away hair from her face and tucked it behind her ears, and Jenna's heart began to beat fast. His fingers curled around to the back of her head and he gently pulled her in. Their eyes closed in sweet anticipation and then their lips met, and a fire swept through her soul. His kiss was strong yet tender, and she enjoyed the taste of him. When they broke away she smiled shyly and bit her lip. Riley's hand slid down and rested on her hip.

“I know we only met today but it feels like I've known you my whole life,” he said in a low voice.

“I know what you mean,” Jenna said. She was almost trembling with nervous excitement and her body was shaking.

“I'm sorry,” she added, but Riley seemed to like it. He stood up and cupped her head in his hands, now staring at the stars in her eyes rather than the ones in the sky. He leaned in again and gave her a firmer kiss, and it was lucky that he had a hold of her for her knees went weak. Her arms wrapped around his wide, muscular body and he held her tightly as their lips pressed together and their tongues danced. It had been so long since she had felt the touch of another and yet with Riley it seemed perfectly natural. Everything came back to her and her body tingled with all the different sensations. Unfamiliar and erotic, her soul started blazing and her heart thumped in her chest. She melted into Riley, who dominated her with his strength. Her head was tilted back and started to ache, while his hands pressed her against him. They walked backwards and made their way to the bed, kissing fervently, until they fell back onto the sheets. Jenna was on top of Riley. Her hair fell over him and they drowned in each other’s essence.

His big, strong hands ran all over her body, tearing at her clothes.

“How long has it been for you?” she asked in breathless whispers in between kisses.

“Too long, it's not easy when you're on a base made up entirely of men,” he replied, and from the hard bulge swelling against her she could tell that he was eager and ardent. It had been just as long for her, and the passion inside simmered and boiled out, causing their skin to prickle with sweat. Soon enough they were peeling off each other’s clothes to get at the skin underneath. They both sat up, with Jenna straddling Riley. She pulled his shirt over his head and gasped as she saw his immaculate body for the first time. The muscles were like they had been etched into marble by a sculptor, and his skin was smooth and tight to the touch. He was hot too as boiling blood rushed through his body, and she could feel the heat emanating from him.

They kissed fervently as their flesh met. Riley in turn pulled Jenna's top over her head, and his white hands ran over her dark skin. Their complexions mixed perfectly, so too did their souls. He buried himself in the nape of her neck and the room was filled with their anguished moans as his fingers moved to deftly undo her bra, and send her breasts pouring out. He pressed into her back as his mouth moved down and kissed her breasts. His tongue flicked out to tease her hard nipples, and more pleasure swept through her. Her fingers ran through his short hair and gripped his head as she watched him take her breasts in his mouth and use her body as a lightning rod of pleasure.

Her thighs tightened around him and she only felt the bulge twitch and grow. Hungry to get at all of him, Jenna pushed him down and started to kiss along his body, letting her saliva drip down his hard muscles. Her hands roamed as well, until she slid off to one side and let them move down to stroke his crotch, feeling the snakelike outline that was yearning her touch. She squeezed it and felt his mighty body quake at her touch. His hands stroked her body then fell beside him, and the fact that she could render this powerful man so helpless against the tide of her temptation was a massive turn on.

Slowly, she unzipped his jeans and unbuckled his belt, then teased out his erection from the tight boxers that held it. He wriggled out of his jeans and they soon fell to the floor. Riley moaned loudly as Jenna wrapped her hands around his thick erection, which was as impressive as the rest of his physique, and started to make love to it with her hands, mouth, and breasts. Her hot flesh brushed against it while she pleasured the sensitive tip, making it wet with saliva, until she descended lower and took it all in her mouth. Riley roared with pleasure, and as she continued she felt his body tense with torturous anguish. The world was vibrant and vivid again, and all her surroundings melted away as she surrendered herself to her passion.

Riley had awoken something inside her, in fact they had awoken something in each other, something that had long lay dormant. There had been something missing from each of their lives for the longest time and now that they had found each other they were complete. It was as though their souls had been waiting for each other, and as soon as they had met, sparks had flown and a realization had been set into them.

Jenna did what came naturally, and responded to the moans and groans to give Riley as much pleasure as possible. Then, she rose and stood above him. He watched in awe, his hands coming around to stroke her thighs as she towered above him. Then, she began to slowly sway her hips in a mesmerizing motion that almost put him into a trance. As she rose his hands slipped down to caress her legs, but then she started to undress for him, and she revealed everything. Their faces twisted in delight as she stripped, finally peeling away her panties and dropping them to her ankles. When they reached the bottom Riley pulled them away, and then touched her skin. He watched up at his goddess as she ran her hands down her ebony curves, biting her lower lip as she felt the pleasure swim through her, until they came around in between her thighs and she started to play with herself. Riley moaned in anguish as she teased him, wanting to be involved, needing to feel her.

Jenna looked down upon him, and as she stimulated herself she slowly lowered herself down, feeling his hands run up the insides of her thighs, until she rested on his stomach. She spread her legs and let her own hands drop behind her while his took over, exploring and feeling the wetness of her body, watching as she trembled and shuddered, resting on his body. His muscles tensed as he pleasured her and his fingers worked magically within her. She gasped, and her eyes fluttered in response to the overwhelming sensations. She felt her burning juice seep through his fingers and she felt her muscles go weak. Their moans echoed around, until he reached up and pulled her head down to him.

“I need you Jenna, I need you so bad,” he said, and told her to search through his clothes for his wallet. She rummaged through until she found it, and then handed it to him. He opened it, and pulled out a condom, tearing open the packet.

“My buddies got me this as a joke, saying that it didn't matter that we were in a war-torn country, we had to be prepared,” he said as he placed it on him. Jenna watched and giggled. The writing on the packet looked faded.

“How long have you had that?” she asked, giggling.

“Far too long, let's hope it still works!” he joked, then pulled her close again. She squealed as she fell onto his body and they drowned in hot kisses. She reached down and felt his burning erection, guiding it into her as their bodies sang in harmony. Their faces contorted in pleasure at the sweet sensations they were so unfamiliar with.  It was intense and they soon found a natural rhythm. Jenna reared up to show her body, and she was resplendent with glory. Riley felt all around as she rocked back and forth, and even though he was on the bottom he was still in control of their rhythm. His hands slid around her back and gripped her butt as he got more purchase and rocked harder and harder. Sweat poured down her body as she lost herself to the thunderstorm that was raging in her head. Their bodies were slick and their vision became blurred as they sent themselves to new heights of pleasure.

Then, inspired by desire, Riley used his momentum and his strength to push her over. He was on top of her, dominating her with his powerful, broad body. She was stifled with the heat and her hot breaths hit his skin. Her nails dug into his muscles as his heavy frame reached deep within her. Every thrust seemed to get deeper and harder, and the passion was unrivaled. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before and they began to moan each other’s' names, unable to kiss anymore for their mouths were constantly moaning and breathing heavily. Their hearts beat like a drum as the orgasmic energy swelled within them. They rolled and gripped the bed sheets. Their hair matted to their sweaty, slick skin and nothing mattered to them apart from their shining bodies.

Jenna clutched Riley tightly, and he got faster and faster as the ecstasy came towards them, until they were hit by a thunderous, cascading sensation, and were rendered powerless by the sheer force of the orgasm. Their bodies convulsed and jerked violently, and then they settled down. Riley bundled her into his arms and she felt safe and secure. Their chests heaved and they kissed each other softly as they recovered from their blazing passion.

“That was amazing,” she said, and her body was still quaking from everything that had just happened. She nuzzled into Riley's body and didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to let her go either. A shaft of silvery moonlight came into the room and illuminated their bodies.

“He's going to be okay you know, your father I mean,” Riley said softly, kissing the back of her neck.

“I know,” she sighed contentedly, “I have a feeling everything is going to be okay from now on.”

For the next week she and Riley spent as much time together as possible. They visited her father in the hospital and he helped around at the store. Given how little time they had known each other it was a wonder they had managed to live so long without each other. That was all until Jenna missed her period. The color drained from her face as she took test after test and they all came back with the same result – she was pregnant.

The first person she told wasn't Riley but Emily, and her friend offered her congratulations but Jenna still wasn't sure. After all, she had only known Riley a week. Was this normal? The next time she saw him she told him, and made it clear that if he wanted to leave then she would understand completely and it wouldn't reflect badly upon him at all, but he acted offended that he'd ever do anything like that.

“Jenna, I know we haven't known each other for very long but we've spent so much time together and I've fallen for you completely. With every new thing I learn I like you more and more, and I've told you before that family is the most important thing to me. I'm going to do whatever I can for you and the little one. You're my family now. This is home.”

And that was the moment when she knew for sure that she was in love. They made the announcement to her father, who was out of the hospital bed although still resting at home, and when they found out that it was going to be a girl they decided to name it after Jenna's mother. After receiving this good news Jenna's father was a changed man, and his spirit had risen within him like a phoenix from the flames. Emily and Mr. Johnson, who had ended up together, were going to be godparents, and as Jenna and Riley lay in bed, with him stroking her swollen stomach and his soft breath washing over the back of her neck, she was utterly happy, especially when she gazed out of the window and through the gray mist saw a ray of sun break through. Jenna closed her eyes, and for the first time she was with content exactly where she was. *****The End******
