This is my entry into the
2021 On The Job
story event. I wanted to get away from the usual office setting so I thought it would be fun and different to take the job outside.
Please excuse a little time travel. I set this two months from now during the summer of 2021. Happily, it will be timely in just a few weeks.
Thank you to Eva_Adams and Red Haired Wonder Woman for their sterling editing and proofing. Two wonderful women with brilliant editor's minds and eyes.
Everybody is 18 or older. I hope you enjoy my story and thank you for reading it.
Callie
She would ride the palomino bareback naked in the middle of the night, starting in the corral and then gallop out into the meadows and the fields.
The quarter horse's buttercream, golden body with the silver-flaxen mane and tail shimmered and glistened in the moonlight like a freshly minted gold coin. Her blonde hair would do the same, also shimmering and glistening in the moonlight.
Sometimes as the horse made a sharp turn so the angle was right, her hair would sparkle like the small diamonds in her ears in a scintillation of white light and a rainbow of spectral-colors, then back to long and blonde and flowing behind her in the wind.
And the tantalizing, pert cheeks and the top of the crack of her alluring firm ass spread deliciously by her horse's wide back, framed by the tramp stamp of a chain of horseshoes across the dimple of the small of her back would tease as they loped along.
When she turned Callie, her horse's name was Callie, when she turned Callie and was loping towards the moon her natural C-cup breasts would bounce gently with the three-beat rhythm of her horses smooth stride, her nipples reflecting in the moonlight so one could catch a flicker of the gold bars piercing her nipples in a flash, here and there.
But I'll confess that the sexiest, most lascivious and arousing of all was when she turned to head back towards the corral. Callie's regal head and gleaming body reflecting the three shades of freshly minted gold now galloping her way home, and those beautiful breasts, sized and shaped perfectly for her 5'-6" 115lb body rocking in sync with Callie's gait, backlit by the moon, along with her flying hair, occasionally seeing a hint of blonde curls where she sat, left me breathless and hard.
When her ride was done, she would walk Callie around the corral for a while parading in her magnificent nudity. She'd finally stop, and lead her over to the fence for a brushing and leg and shoe inspection, and stand on her toes for a big hug and kiss of Callie's head and face so the lucky horse would be caressed by those perfect breasts before heading back to the barn.
Then Zoe, the camp owner's 18 year old daughter, corral manager, and Head Wrangler would slide on a short robe, and flip-flops, and walk to the women's showers for a late night rinse.
Chapter One
For the last eleven years my summers have been all about Mountain Home Junior Ranch Summer Camp for Kids. Mountain Home Jr. Ranch, as it was known on its stationary, high in the hills of Calistoga, California.
The first six years as a camper. The next two as a CIT, counselor-in-training, and then after my freshman year in college, a full blown counselor with my own campers, and three tents of energetic 9 and 10 year old boys to corral, keep safe, and guide through a summer of fun including swimming, canoeing, hiking, archery and everything in between. All of the traditional summer camp activities. And since Mountain Home was a working ranch, horse back riding of all kinds.
I loved the owner, Sylvia. She had always been very kind to me, and like most of the guys I had the hots for her daughter, Zoe, who Sylvia was grooming to eventually take over the camp, and ultimately the business. But Zoe felt untouchable. At least, for someone like me who was situated very firmly in the "friend zone."
Anyway, Mountain Home Jr. Ranch had been my summer home since I was 10. I couldn't wait for school to end knowing that in a couple of weeks my folks would be driving me up, and after I got my license, driving up there myself in my old clunker.
I had close friends amongst the other counselors both male and female. Pals that I grew up with each summer and looked forward to seeing every year including a cute girl counselor or two.
Like most summer camps it was up early for breakfast and then a full schedule of activities for all of the campers that ranged from 6 to 15 years old. Activities were mostly broken into mornings and after lunch, afternoons.
Sometimes a counselor would track with their campers throughout the day, so you had to know many skills from sports, to archery, to horseshoes, and of course swimming, canoeing and water safety.
Sometimes you were assigned to one station for the day. I always had a thing for horses so I was frequently assigned to the corral all day, and Zoe and I had a nice, camp friendship. We worked well together. It was mostly based on appreciation of each other's skills and knowledge with horses and in the ring, and some of it was built upon knowing each other since I was 10 and she was seven.
The camp was not only my summer love, it was my summer job.
I counted on my earnings from the job when I went back to school in the fall. I had tuition covered. My summer earnings from Mountain Home kept me housed and fed. Well, except for last year. COVID kept the camp closed. My tent of campers, and my summer job were not to be.
I started to hustle for work the best that I could. I put myself at risk being an essential worker for DoorDash, but they didn't pay shit. I scrubbed test tubes for an hourly in a college's lab thanks to a Ph.D friend, tutored a few kids getting ready for high school calculus and trig for cash. I even sold a little weed out of a dispensary. Hell, why not? It's legal and sold retail nowadays.
The school year started and by our house taking in one more roommate, and with a little belt tightening, made it through. And then in March the COVID vaccine started to become more readily available.
I volunteer to work hours at student health providing my extensive camp EMT training, and that put me in the queue for the vaccine, and I was fully vaccinated and good to go by the end of March.
And suddenly so was everybody else. Schools were opening back, after Spring Break, to on-campus learning, and I got a letter from Sylvia at Mountain Home announcing the camp was going to be open again this summer under strict COVID protocols including full vaccines for all 16 and over. I was to report the second week of June.
I brought out the bottle of Maker's Mark I kept hidden for special occasions and started a private celebration reveling my happy memories of summers past.
Our adventures over nearly 11 years are too numerous to recount here, but they did include losing my cherry to Counselor Judy two years ago, inside the barn one moonless night.
