Chapter Eighteen

~ Miko ~

I eyed Jos with a bit of trepidation and a whole lot of curiosity as we rode through the countryside. He'd been a little more than clingy over the last few days ever since First Uncle visited.

It was unexpected.

It wasn't that I minded his constant attention. It was actually kind of nice. We'd taken a few rides, shopped for the items we'd need to build me a greenhouse, had a lot of talks about our pasts and our future, and done more than a few things that made me hard every time I thought about them.

I just wasn't sure why he was giving me all of his attention. He had a ranch to run. He should be with the ranch hands working the cattle not taking me for a leisurely ride through the countryside.

"Jos, where are you taking me?" I'd seen a lot of the ranch since I'd been here, especially over the last few days, but I'd been told it would take weeks to see all of it.

I had time.

"We're almost there."

Where? We were surrounded by nothing but groves of trees and open field. Luckily, there weren't any cows around so hopefully we'd skip the stampede this time.

Jos led me through a small thicket of trees. When we broke through on the other side, I gasped in delight. There was a body of water in front of me. It was bigger than a pond, but smaller than a lake, so I wasn't sure what it was called. It was beautiful, though. The water was crystal clear and set against snow capped mountains in the background.

"This is part of the ranch?"

"Yep, our land goes about half way up that mountain in the distance."

That was a lot of land. No wonder Jos had said it would take a while to see all of it.

Jos stopped several yards from the water's edge, right by a section that had four trees. He climbed off of Bucky, tied the end of the reins to one of the low hanging branches, and then reached for his saddlebag.

Not knowing what else to do, I climbed off of my horse and walked over to join him. I looped my reins over another low hanging tree branch and then turned to see what Jos was doing.

My brow flickered with curiosity as I watched Jos open his saddlebag and pull out a blanket. He shook it out before settling it on the ground in the middle of the small band of trees, right in front of a fallen log. Next, he grabbed a zipped up canvas box and set it on the blanket.

When he held his hand out to me, I wasn't stupid enough not to take it. I was a little confused when he pulled me down to sit between his outstretched legs, my back to his stomach as he leaned against the fallen log.

When he opened the canvas box and started pulling out small plastic containers, I cocked my head, turning it until I could see his face. "This is picnic?"

"Yes, ever been on one?"

I shook my head. I'd heard of them, of course, but I'd never been on one.

"Then this will be a treat for you."

I marveled at the food Jos revealed as he popped the lid on each of the containers. Chopped fruit, chopped vegetables with some sort of white dipping sauce, cold cuts, cheese, some bread, and even some chocolate covered strawberries.

It was a veritable feast.

Jos picked a piece of watermelon and held it in front of my mouth. When I just stared at it, Jos cocked an eyebrow. I let out a small snicker and then bit down on the fruit.

After taking several bites until that piece was gone, I turned slightly so I was sitting sideways and could see Jos's face without straining my neck, I picked up another piece of fruit and held it out to him. This went on and on between us until almost all of the food was gone.

I finally patted my stomach and said, "Full."

"Good."

Jos closed all the containers and packed them away in the canvas box, and then placed it back in his saddlebag. When he settled against the fallen tree log again, I turned so my back was to him once more and let myself settle against him.

I don't know how long we sat there, but I started to doze off. Jos was warm and comfortable. There was a gentle breeze blowing down from the mountains that wasn't too hot or too cold.

I didn't want to move...until Jos's hands slid under my T-shirt and began to explore my skin. "What are you doing?" I asked, not even trying to stop him.

"We had our picnic," Jos replied. "Now, I want dessert."

When I peered up at Jos, he was staring down at me with darkened blue eyes filled with desire. That look alone had the ability to make my toes curl because it was a clear sign of what was to come.

"Did you bring supplies?" I'd learned quite quickly that supplies were a must.

Jos reached over and grabbed stuff out of the saddlebag, holding them up for me to see.

Perfect.

I turned in Jos's arms and climbed up so I straddled his thick thighs. I stared intently for a moment, drinking in the passion filled look he was giving me.

I smirked as I grabbed his hat and pulled it off his head. "You won't be needing this." I could think of a few other things he wouldn't be needing, but the hat was a start.

I nearly came when one of Jos's large hands caressed my ass through my pants. I couldn't wait to get rid of my pants and feel those hands against my bare skin.

Hell, I couldn't wait to feel all of Jos against my bare skin. As big as Jos was, I knew that he could cover my smaller body from head to toe and then some.

I yelped in surprise when I was suddenly lifted to my feet. I barely had time to steady myself before Jos was pulling at my clothes. Within moments, I found myself standing before Jos naked as the day I was born.

The low rough rumble emanating from Jos told me that the handsome cowboy liked what he saw. The sound vibrated through my body, energizing me, arousing me.

I looked up into Jos's eyes, and my breath caught in my throat. Jos's lip curled back, showing off his perfect white teeth, but it was the savage snarl on Jos's face as he gazed down at my naked body that really set me off.

Jos spun me around and pulled me back against his hard body. A shudder shot through my body as Jos scraped his teeth across the back of my neck. It was less of a nibble and more an act of possession. Jos wanted to mark me and I knew it.

Better yet, I was okay with it.

"Jos," I groaned.

I reached back to wrap my arms around Jos's neck and tilted my head to one side, giving Jos unobstructed access to the side of my throat.

Long fingers encircled my hard cock, stroking me from root to tip furiously, and I cried out as pleasure overwhelmed me. A thick thigh moved between my legs and pressed tightly against me from behind.

Small keening sounds escaped my lips. Every touch of Jos's hands and body against mine was like a burning flame.

I wanted to be consumed.

I wanted to burn for Jos.

My hands clenched. Jos was sucking on my neck, marking me, claiming me, but I needed more. I needed…I needed…

"Jos!" I begged. "Fuck me!"

I was pushed down onto the picnic blanket, landing on my hands and knees. Before I could protest the rough treatment, Jos's slick finger pushed into my tight hole.

"Aaahhh, yes!" I cried out.

Jos began stretching me, adding another finger, then another. Some part of me wondered when Jos had opened the lube, but I was too overcome with burning sensations to really care. I was just thankful because I was pretty sure Jos was about to fuck me into the ground.

Jos pulled his fingers away and pressed his massive cock against my aching hole. I could hear his heavy breathing as he thrust into my tight ass.

The buttery soft material of Jos's faded jeans brushed against the back of my thighs, caressing me. I groaned, my head dropping forward when Jos thrust into me. We'd been together long enough that Jos knew right where my sweet spot was located and pegged it every single time.

As Jos pounded into me, I felt every movement of his body, every single breath that came out of Jos's mouth. I could also feel my orgasm building deep within my body and knew that it was going to be spectacular.

Jos was going to consume me.

When Jos's teeth nipped into my shoulder again, I knew it was over for me. My fingers curled into the blanket beneath me as streaks of pleasure exploded throughout my entire body.

"Jos!" I screamed as my cock erupted, shooting ropes of pearly white seed over the blanket. The intensity of my orgasm surprised me. As my arms and legs began to tremble, I wondered if I would be able to hold my body up.

The problem was solved for me when two large arms wrapped around my waist. My mind began to melt as I was lifted into the air and impaled on Jos's cock for one last massive lunge.

Jos let out a loud roar.

A moment later, Jos's hot release warmed my insides as he filled the condom. I cried out as another, smaller orgasm tore through me and then I let my head fell back against Jos's shoulder.

My hands fell limply to my sides. The only thing keeping me from falling to the ground were the two large arms wrapped around me, the bent knees between my legs, and the pulsing cock in my ass.

I shuddered when Jos's hand wrapped around my cock again and fondled me. I didn't think I had another ounce of seed in my body. I knew I didn't have another orgasm in me. The last two had wiped me out.

"Too much," I whimpered as Jos stroked me. I was so sensitive that I could almost feel every contour and crease in Jos's hand. Unbelievably, I felt myself harden again. My mind, what was left of it, reeled. I was totally at Jos's mercy. I was held suspended above the ground with only Jos to keep me from falling.

"Again," Jos growled into my ear. "Come for me again, baby."

I shook my head rapidly. I couldn't do it again. I didn't think I'd survive it, but Jos wasn't giving me a choice. He pulled out of me and turned me around, laying me back on the ground before he lifted my legs and pushed back into my ass.

I lifted my eyes to Jos's. I was shocked by the intensity of Jos's gaze. Everything he felt for me was on full display, and it surprised me. I knew he cared about me, and might even have some affection for me, but what I was seeing shining in his eyes was on a whole other level.

"Jos," I whispered.

Lifting my head, I licked the line of Jos's lips, nibbling at the soft skin. With a simple kiss, I could taste the strength in Jos, the raw power. It was heady stuff, especially when I knew that strength and power was backed by a heart of gold.

"Come now, Miko."

I cried out as my body obeyed Jos's command and filled his hand with a small spurt of cum. I could feel every fiber of my being soak up all that the man was to me. Jos was everything that made up the perfect man, and I wanted it all, every last domineering drop.

I pulled my lips away from Jos's and leaned my head back to look up into Jos's eyes. I wasn't the least bit surprised by the possessive glint in them. I expected it. I wanted to see it. I needed to see it.

It was what made him so special to me. Jos wanted me for me and not what he could use me for.

It was that simple.
