I think for a moment or so.
"I don't know. It never seemed right. They always wanted a big house and money. That stuff isn't important to me. I got enough to do what I need to. The girls I dated usually moved on. I didn't have the lifestyle or money they wanted."
Anna is quiet for a time.
"Well, I think it's their loss. Chuck, I think you're a great guy."
It is silent for several minutes.
Anna speaks.
"Chuck, can make love again?"
I have a simple answer.
"Yup."
She rolls over to face me. Anna's hand snakes down to my cock and balls, both of which she begins to massage. Now I have to say that feels really good. Anna has me up to specs in no time. I start to roll her over to mount her. She shakes her head and rolls me onto my back. I am the one that is mounted.
I believe they call this "Cowgirl".
It is a wonderful view of Anna's face and breasts. She gently rocks back and forth, or up and down on top of me. Those nipples need my attention. And then so do those lips. We continue this way for some twenty minutes or so. I never knew I could last so long. Anna's orgasm is first then mine. (With condom, of course.) Then we have to get some sleep. Anna wants to be up early.
Waking up with Anna was a special treat. She rolls out of bed naked and heads to the bathroom. I get up as well and get her the necessary items. You know, shampoo, clean towel, and washrag. She showers and begins to dress. I almost hate to see her cover up.
She speaks.
"Chuck, you got a clean shirt I can wear to work? I don't want to wear this halter top."
Instead of waiting for me to find one, she goes to the closet and picks one out. Anna finds a western style shirt. A bra appears from out of her purse, leopard print. This she straps on and covers with my shirt. Instead of buttoning it all the way down, she ties the bottom just above her shorts.
"You ready?" She asks.
I grab the truck keys and we are off into the early morning.
I am accustomed to early mornings in my job. You get up and moving 'cause things have to be done. I normally make an appearance at the café for breakfast. Anna and I roll in and she goes straight to work. I find a table and sit.
The café owner's wife, Charlene, brings me coffee. Anna is gettin' around. We learn that Lily is still asleep upstairs, and Anna is told to let her sleep. My breakfast appears. A couple of eggs, bacon, hash brown potatoes and toast. Oh, and more coffee. I can't linger, gotta work. Anna is very attentive, but she has other folks to feed. I don't make demands of her. Time for me to go. I stand and Anna is in front of me in a second. Both her arms go round my neck, and she kisses me hard.
"See you tonight, Sugar."
It isn't a question, it's a statement. I return her affections. Then I am in the truck and headed out to work.
It isn't a bad place. There is lots of open space, but not open prairie. Still, plenty of trees. Today I will need to ride fence lines and make repairs if needed. You always take the needed items with you. Today I opt for horseback. I got a pair of fencing pliers that once belonged to my grandfather. A treasured item. I do find a breach in the fence. The tracks show that a few cattle have managed to escape. Well, that's the first order of business. I close the gap and go in search of rogue cows. They aren't hard to find. It takes some time to get them back, then a more permanent fence fix. Then checking on the rest of the herd. That was my morning.
Of course, in the back of my mind, Anna is occupying a generous part of my thought. The scent of her, the feel of her lips and the always present smile. It's more than the sex. The presence Anna has is like when she comes in a room, the lights are turned on. I head back to the main compound.
My afternoon instructions. There is an old house and buildings on the perimeter that need to be checked. Sometimes you have squatters. It will be a leisurely ride. I don't push the horse and it gives me time to look around, making mental notes about where cattle are, checking fences.
The old house comes into view. It is somewhat isolated. I begin with the outbuildings. A generous size barn needs some repair, but in good shape. A few storage buildings. Some raccoons have taken up residence. Time to check the house. A broken window or two. The place has minimal electricity. There is still a large wood fired oven/stove in the kitchen. It also still has the hand pump water at the sink. A large stone fireplace in the living room. It occurs to me that I could see me living here. Lots of work to do and away from everything and everyone. I could see me here with Anna and Lily.
Now where did that come from?
I make some notes about repair that needs to be done and head back. Once more it is a slow ride back. The horse will need to be dealt with and taken care of. She is a good gal, gentle and easy. I take a good long time rubbing and brushing her down. She seems to be enjoying the attention. I think animals can tell when you care for them. They respond, I think. The day is about over for me. I am wanting to get back into town and Anna. I don't think I'm in love with her. Certainly infatuated.
A radical idea begins to form in my head. Do you suppose Anna and Lily would move into that old house with me? It would be a lot of work and time just to clean it up. Then repairs and making the place work. I should first ask if the owner would let me live there. And I know, it's early in the relationship to think like this. But Anna has made it clear to me what she wants. So, why not? I'm not getting younger. She will need to understand how much work will be involved. I am glad the truck can drive itself. It seems I am in town already and at the café.
Dinner time. I walk in the door, and it was just like when I left. Anna is there to greet me with an enormous kiss. It gets hoots from the customers. Most of whom know me and haven't seen this side of me. Anna gets to take a break and have dinner with me. Lily comes out to join us. I need to get to know her, and she needs to get to know me. I won't mention the old house for now. I'll find out if it's even possible first.
