"I'm sorry," she whispered to Caleb. "It just happened," she explained. Ally tried to read his expression but his face was guarded. "You see, this big frog decided to join me in my pool and I chased him into the skimmer bucket. I tried to throw him over the fence and I didn't see the bull. I got startled and the next thing I knew the whole bucket went with the frog and landed on the bull's horn. He threw his head up into the air and that's when the bucket went flying over there." Ally pointed to where the bucket had landed. Caleb stared a hole into her and Ally squirmed uncomfortably.
"I should know better, but, Ally, you never cease to amaze me." Caleb burst out into laughter. "Only you could do something like this, all over a little, itty, bitty frog."
"Ha, what do you know?" Ally raised her chin in defiance. "Besides, I don't like having frogs in my pool."
"Come here," said Caleb as he urged Thor next to the fence. "Let's go get your bucket."
"What? You want me to get on the horse? Caleb, I'm not dressed for riding."
"Get your shoes over there and hop on. Good thing you're wearing tennis shoes."
"But I'm only in my bikini!" said Ally self-consciously.
"I know." Caleb's smile turned sexy.
Ally tossed her head, but she grabbed her phone and shoes and went back to the fence "Now, how can I get on?"
"Like this." Caleb scooped her underneath her arms and placed her in front of him, his hands touching her bare midsection. "I could get used to this," he said as he nuzzled her neck. He guided Thor towards the bucket and with one fell swoop, he grabbed it and tossed it back over the fence. "There. Now, let me give you a tour."
"Is this my lesson in Western riding?" asked Ally as she winced. The saddle rode rough against her bare thighs.
"Nope. We're doing riding later on in the week. I'm just showing off."
They rode by the herds, but Ally felt safe in Caleb's arms.
"They're huge," commented Ally as they rode by.
"Yup." Caleb couldn't keep his hands off of Ally as they rode over his
land, which stretched before them. Soon they came to a meadow where there were trees dotting a large, natural pond. Caleb slowed Thor and came to a stop.
"Why are we stopping?" asked Ally drowsily. She felt so languid in Caleb's with the rhythm of Thor's gallop. Not to mention Caleb's hands roaming her body and his mouth on her neck. Talk about a sensory overload.
"I think you know why." He swung Ally off of Thor, dismounted at the same time and gently placed Ally on her feet. Caleb reached in the back of the saddle bag and pulled out a blanket, before securing Thor to a tree. He laid out the blanket and motioned to Ally. "Now, come here." He pulled Ally into his arms and kissed her. The kiss became urgent for both and Caleb's hands stroked the inside of the top of Ally's suit, pulling out one breast at a time. His thumb grazed her nipples and she gasped with pleasure.
“Caleb," moaned Ally as she unbuttoned his shirt and freeing it from Caleb's body. He had released the hook of her top and flung it to the ground.
"I missed you so much." Caleb buried his head between her breasts and sucked one nipple at a time. "You taste so good. I can't get enough."
"I can't." Ally fumbled with his belt buckle and Caleb swiftly took over the task. The two of them stopped momentarily to shed the unwanted clothes. Ally clung to Caleb as he lowered them to the ground. Ally's legs parted, giving Caleb access to what he so direly wanted and needed. He thrust deep and Ally met every thrust with unabashed lust. Caleb claimed Ally's mouth as they both reached simultaneous orgasms giving into each other completely.
"Dang, Ally. Where did you learn how to do drive me insane?" Caleb tenderly brushed Ally's wet hair from her face and outlined her lips with the pad of his thumb.
"Caleb, you do it to me, too." Ally tried to get up, but Caleb wouldn't have anything to do with it. He held her close while the breeze cooled their overheated bodies. Sated, they both fell into a light sleep with their arms wrapped tightly around each other.
"What?" Caleb was startled out of his sleep by Rex who had nudged his butt. "What's up boy?" Caleb rose to a sitting position and Ally groped around for her swim suit.
"Caleb, look at the time. It's almost five." Alley quickly got dressed and tried to smooth her unruly hair which wouldn't cooperate with her.
"Shoot. Jeb is probably wondering where I am and poor Rex here wants his dinner.” Caleb hurriedly got dressed but stopped and faced Ally. "Are you okay?" His look of concern touched Ally to the core.
"I'm fine, Caleb," she assured him. "Just drop me back home so I can take care of things there."
"What are you doing tonight?" Caleb had helped her onto Thor and swung on afterwards.
"Not much," confessed Ally. "Maybe I'll go the gym and work out."
"I can't stop by since I have a meeting with chamber unless you want to come with me?"
"No, that's okay. I need some down time after visiting my parents."
"Kat is coming home tomorrow?" asked Caleb.
"Yes." Ally leaned into Caleb as Thor galloped at top speed at Caleb's urging.
"Let me know if you need anything." Caleb kissed her neck giving Ally a whole new set of goose bumps. In no time, they had reached Ally's fence. Caleb helped Ally dismount and gave her a long heated kiss. "How about tomorrow we try some lessons in riding Western?"
"I can't stay all day, Caleb." They stood nose to nose, her arms wrapped around his waist. "Kat and I have an appointment for dinner."
"Come around nine and I'll have a horse all picked out for you."
"I'll be there." They kissed one last time before Caleb rode off to the barn. Ally watched him and sighed. The next thing she knew Tank scolded her for being late for dinner. Speaking of dinner, Ally needed to make plans and couldn't get into the house fast enough.
After a good night's sleep, Ally awakened ready to tackle this horse riding business. Going into her closet, she grabbed a pair of her old riding boots she had never thrown away and an old pair of blue jeans. Pulling her hair back, Ally smiled at her reflection in the mirror, satisfied that she looked like a real cowgirl. She let Tank out one last time and then headed over to see Caleb.
"Morning, sunshine." Caleb kissed her soundly on the lips. "Let me introduce you to Sampson, my quarter horse." He led Ally to the barn and met up with Jeb, who stood with the horse. Sampson loomed large and bore a beautiful black shiny coat, with an even darker black mane and tail.
"Morning, Jeb," greeted Ally cheerfully and then she introduced herself to Sampson. "Aren't you a handsome fellow," cooed Ally as she gently stroked his muzzle. In her palm, Ally held carrots where Sampson gently took them out of her hand barely touching Ally's skin.
"You're his buddy now," laughed Jeb. "This fella just loves his food."
"Okay. I'm ready to tackle this," said Ally, her eyes glowing with anticipation.
"Now remember, the saddle is bigger than the English and you'll feel more secure," began Caleb, but stopped as he watched Ally expertly take the reins and hoist herself over the saddle. "Good girl." He smiled. "We'll take it slow so you can get used to each other." He gave Thor a nudge and Ally followed for a bit making sure that she and Samson were comfortable together.
"You are such a great horse," said Ally as she petted Samson's neck strengthening the relationship with the animal. Soon, Caleb broke into a trot and Sampson picked up on it and Ally blended as one with the horse.
"So far, so good," commented Caleb. "Are you up for a canter?"
"Sure," agreed Ally, pleased with how easily this all came back to her.
"Are you okay?" asked Caleb. He tried real hard not to notice the movement of Ally's breasts as she broke into a canter. Caleb felt his desire for her surface. He tried to quench it, but it didn't work. He then broke out to full gallop and Sampson followed suit. Ally appeared to be a bit surprised, but handled the transition without any problems. Then with Ally's urging, Samson forged ahead of Thor and caught Caleb with surprise. "Ally? What the heck are you do
ing?" Caleb finally caught up to her as she slowed Sampson down.
"Oh Caleb, this is so much fun. The look on your face is priceless." Ally laughed, then stopped. The look on Caleb's face changed. Sobering, she stopped riding as Caleb did. "What's wrong?"
"Let's ride up to the trees over there and give these animals a rest." Obediently, Ally followed Caleb and dismounted. She watched as Caleb tied up Thor and then silently took the reins from her and tied Samson up close by.
"What's wrong?" Ally kept searching Caleb's face.
"You've got me so turned on, I couldn't ride anymore." He reached for Ally and claimed her mouth, his tongue penetrating her lips and his tongue erotically danced with hers.. Caleb pulled Ally closer so that she could feel his desire.
"Caleb," Ally breathed as she returned his kiss. Her hands encircled his waist, pulling him closer. Caleb groaned with pleasure and he lowered Ally to the grass.
"What about the blanket?" asked Ally between kisses.
"Screw the blanket. I have to have you right now." Caleb removed Ally's shirt and unhooked her bra. His hands caressed her breast and his fingers lingered on her nipples. Greedily, he sucked her left nipple and buried his face in the soft mounds of her breasts.
"And you're sure we're alone?" Ally looked around nervously expecting to see Jeb.
"Yup." Caleb worked on removing Ally's boots, socks and jeans. With a quick yank, they were off. Very gently, he removed her panties and flung them to the side. Caleb parted Ally's thighs and buried his head into the soft wet mound of the opening to her body. His tongue found the nub and cajoled Ally to an orgasm.
"Oh, my," panted Ally as she writhed in pleasure and started to sit up, but Caleb gently pushed her back to a prone position.
"I'm not done." Caleb deftly removed his pants and Ally wrapped her hand around his engorged member. "Ally, let me in," demanded Caleb and he thrust inside of her and the intensity of their love making didn't wane until they were both completely spent. Caleb collapsed gently on Ally and she slid her hands up and down his body feeling the muscles still throbbing from the exertion.
"Ouch!" screamed Ally. "I think something just bit me." She scrambled up, pushing Caleb to the side.
"It's a spider," said Caleb as he examined the bite on her buttocks and brushed the spider off. He stared up as Ally tried to turn around and look at her bite. "Hey, I like this view," said Caleb. Once again he buried his face between her legs. "I have to have you again."
"But I have a bite on my butt," cried Ally, however, her protest gave way to her desire. "Here, let me at least spread your shirt so we have some protection from the grass."
"Whatever," moaned Caleb and he claimed Ally again bringing them both to the ends of the earth and back. They sat up and looked at each other and smiled. "I think we gave the horses quite a show," remarked Caleb as Ally stroked the side of his face and brought her lips to his.
"You are something else." Ally kissed him and then withdrew. "Hey, cowboy, I've got to get home."
"Yeah, I understand," said Caleb as he stood up and searched for his clothes. He glanced at where the spider had bitten Ally and he didn't like the looks of it at all.
"You better take care of that when you get home."
"I can't see it," said Ally twisting around again. "But I can sure feel it." She got dressed in a hurry, the bite really beginning to itch. They mounted their horses and in companionable silence rode back to the barn. Jeb greeted them in the barn as they walked in.
"How did our lady do?" asked Jeb.
"She's a pro," smiled Caleb. "And she's a wolf in sheep's clothing. You should see how well she rides and she told us she wouldn't be sure."
"That's not true," protested Ally. "It's been a while since I've been on a horse and I didn't know how well I'd do." Ally tried to hide the fact that the spider bite really bothered her. "I had a good time today," she told Jeb and Caleb. "I have to run."
"Do it again?" asked Caleb with a twinkle in his eye.
"You bet and I'll really show you what I can do." Ally met his gaze.
"You're on." Caleb smiled seductively at her.
By the time Ally got home, she let Tank out and ran to the bathroom to look at her spider bite. Using a hand held mirror, she could see the bite and it looked like it had spread. Blisters with pus started to ooze out of it. Had this been God's way of chastising her for making love in the grass? Ally looked through her medicine cabinet and only found a topical medical cream and applied it liberally. She put on a large t-shirt to cover herself without any pants. Ally made a mental note to stop at the drugstore on her way over to Kat's. She then began to make the salad and appetizers for tonight's dinner.
After her shower, Ally put some more topical cream on the bite and covered it with a band aid. It had now grown to officially two inches long. When she put her pants on, Ally winced at the pain. She dreaded the evening already. She fed Tank and left the house headed towards Kat's house.
"Hey, Kat, how are you?" greeted Ally as she walked into her sister's home.
"Hey, sis." Kat gave her sister a hug. "Mom and Dad said you stopped to see them this weekend?"
"Yeah, I felt a little lonesome. I'm so used to being around you, it became too quiet. Here is the salad and let me run out to get the appetizers."
"Did you see Caleb this weekend?" Kat watched Ally closely.
"I don't know, why?" Ally played dumb.
"Just wondering." Kat knew better, but kept her mouth shut as she watched Ally carry in the food. "What's wrong with you? You're walking funny."
"It's a little embarrassing," said Ally blushing. "I've got a spider bite on my buttocks."
"Ally, how did you get that? Were you romping around naked in the grass?" laughed Kat.
"No," said Ally a bit too quickly, hiding her face. No, Kat. I just had naked wild sex in the grass with Caleb, if you want to call that romping.
"I need to use the bathroom, I'll be right back." Ally hurried to the bathroom with all of her supplies of cortisone and Benedryl which the pharmacist recommended.
When she emerged, Kat had packed up her van and they were ready to go. Kat and Ally chatted about their weekends, mostly Kat doing the talking. They arrived at the house and Ally felt wired all of a sudden. She just couldn't sit still.
"Ally, what's wrong with you?" whispered Kat fiercely. "Calm down. You're running around like a chicken with its head cut off."
"I don't know. I feel like I have all of this energy," explained Ally. It suddenly dawned on her and she blamed it on the medication's side effects. With her luck, she'd be up all night.
"Then go wash the dishes." Kat gave Ally a gentle shove towards the kitchen and continued to serve the meal. The meal won everyone's approval and Kat received invitations for three more parties for the month.
"Why don't you stay for a drink," suggested Kat as they got home.
"No, I better not," said Ally thinking about the medicine and alcohol. "Who do you use for a doctor around here?"
"Why, are you sick?"
"If this bite gets any worse, I might make an appointment to have someone look at it."
"Only my sister gets a bite on her butt," laughed Kat.
"It's not funny," said Ally. "It really hurts."
"Why don't you just go home and get some sleep? I'll come over tomorrow so we can plan the menus."
"Okay," agreed Ally. She got into her car and started to drive when her cell phone went off. Pulling to the curb, she answered it.
"Are you home yet?" asked Caleb.
"No, I'm just leaving Kat's now."
"How's your bite?" Caleb sounded amused.
"It really hurts and it's not funny."
"Should I come over and take care of it?"
"You're the one who got me into this mess because you didn't want to use the blanket," retorted Ally.
"Well, maybe if you would stop looking so sexy all the time, this wouldn't happen." Caleb's voice softened. "Ally, I can't seem to keep my hands off of you."
"Don't stop, then. Listen, I need to get home. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"No. Call me when you get home."
"You bet." Ally smiled as she disconnected. Caleb seemed just too good to be true. The ride home went without any problems and Ally made sure she called Caleb.
"I want to warn you about the storm headed our way," said Caleb. "I'm not sure if you check the weather."
"Of course I check it. We're supposed to get some heavy rain."
"In case of tornado, do you know what to do?"
"Dottie told me about the 'fraidy hole. I've got it all set up with water, flashlights and a portable radio with batteries."
