“Can I go outside and shovel snow and make a snowman?” Leigh asked.
“Joel.” Jonathan seemed to be warning him of something.
“As long as we’re out there to watch for you, you can play all you want. You’re not staying out once we head out to the pastures, though.”
“Great!” She served them their breakfast and sat down to eat with them.
Nearly an hour later, she had all the dishes in the sink to soak and was pulling on her coat with the men. She shoved her hands into gloves, though she knew she would be taking them off to feel the snow in her hands at some point. Still, she would need them to shovel. There was no need in getting blisters.
They filed outside and Leigh immediately jumped out into it. They had approximately ten inches of snow on the ground and it was still snowing. The clouds kept the sun from illuminating the sky to some extent, but it was bright enough for her to see to play. She gathered up a ball and tossed it at Jonathan’s back. He growled at her and hit her square in the chest with one.
“No snowball fights, kids.” Joel scowled at them when one hit him on the shoulder. “We need to get to work.”
Leigh stuck her tongue out at him but quickly grabbed a shovel and began to clear a path from the back steps toward the barn. They each staked out a section of the path and shoveled until there was a straight path there.
“Okay, build your snowman quick while we see to the horses and saddle up. Once we get ready to leave, you’ve got to go back inside the house,” Jonathan told her.
Leigh ran back to the house and began rolling snowballs to make her masterpiece. She had one nearly complete when the men emerged from the barn with their horses in tow. She hurriedly walked over to them to wish them a good day.
“You go on inside now, baby.” Jonathan hugged her and gave her a sloppy kiss.
Leigh smiled and grabbed Joel before he could climb up on the horse.
“Where’s my kiss?”
“You don’t get a kiss from me until you behave.” He smiled.
“I’ve behaved. Give me my kiss,” she demanded.
He bent over her and kissed her. It was a soft, gentle kiss that said more to her than if he’d just laid one on her. He cared about her despite his gruff exterior. Leigh hugged him and then clomped toward the house. She stomped off her feet on the porch and waved at them as they climbed up on their horses and headed toward the gate.
“Get on inside and stay there, Leigh.” Jonathan pointed at the door.
She stuck her tongue out at him and pulled off her boots before hurrying inside. She finished the dishes then turned to working in their rooms to combine their stuff with hers in the master bedroom. They were all staying there now, so she needed to get their things moved. She started with Jonathan’s room. It needed a thorough cleaning anyway. More than likely Joel’s did, too. She would handle his the next day.
When lunchtime came and went with no sign of the men, she began to worry. She kept the soup warming on the stove and kept watch at the windows until she saw them at the gate. Sighing with relief, she pulled out the sandwiches and waited for them to come inside.
They disappeared into the barn to take care of the horses, then emerged several minutes later to tromp across the newly covered path. At least a solid inch, if not two, had fallen while they were gone.
She began pouring up soup when she heard their stomps on the porch. They hurried inside to keep the cold air out and pulled off their coats and gloves.
“Everything okay out there?” she asked.
“Pretty much what we expected. Had to search for a few stragglers that are too dumb to realize they stay warmer by sticking together.” Jonathan washed up then took his seat at the table.
“Man, I’m hungry. This looks good.” Joel began eating as soon as he sat down.
“Aren’t you going to eat with us, baby?” Jonathan asked.
“I’ve already eaten. You’re late. I was hungry and couldn’t wait.”
“Sorry. Had to find all of them before we came back,” he said.
“It’s okay. I was getting worried, though. I wish we had radios so I could keep up with you.”
“That’s a good idea, but we’re too far out of range for anything we could find to use,” Joel said. “Maybe we’ll look at building a tower one day and getting one of those base stations. I wonder if they would work out here?”
“Don’t know. It’s a good thought, though. Next time we go to Sky Line, let’s see if we can find anything to play with.” Jonathan swallowed down the last of his soup.
“Do you want more?” Leigh asked.
“No, thanks. I’m full. I’ve got to get back out there.” Jonathan stood up and stretched. “Joel will be here with you this afternoon. Make sure he sleeps. He will be watching the herd tonight in case of wolves.”
“I’ll make sure he sleeps.” She wrapped her arms around Jonathan. “You be careful out there alone.”
He hugged her back. “I will, baby.”
Leigh watched as Jonathan tugged on his coat and gloves and walked out the door to put on his boots on the back porch. She watched out the window until he entered the barn, then she turned and smiled at where Joel had gathered up the dishes for her. He had left the room, though.
She figured he would take a shower before bed, so she decided to join him and do the dishes later.
Leigh found him climbing in the shower when she walked into the bathroom.
“Hey! You let in cold air,” Joel complained.
“Don’t worry. I’ll warm you back up.” Leigh stripped out of her clothes and got in with Joel. “How about letting me clean you up?”
“Be my guest, Leigh.” He handed her the soap and cloth.
She bathed him from his shoulders to his toes, saving the interesting pieces in between until last. Then she knelt and began soaping up his cock with her bare hands. She cuddled his balls in her hand, squeezing on the sac as she scratched over it with her nails. He hissed out a breath and grabbed her head.
“If you’re going to do that, I’m going to end up fucking that pretty mouth of yours, Leigh. Don’t bite off more than you can chew.”
Leigh laughed. “Oh, I can handle you, Joel. Let me rinse you off and I’ll prove it to you.”
She turned him around from her vantage point on her knees and made sure all the soap was removed by the shower. Then he turned back around and grabbed her head with his hands.
“Tell me if I’m hurting you or scaring you, Leigh. I don’t want to do that.” Joel ran a thumb over her lips, and she opened her mouth for him.
Leigh planted her hands on his thighs for support and took his throbbing cock into her mouth. She sucked on it and licked around the mushroom head until Joel took over and began to shallowly fuck his dick in and out of her mouth. When he pulled all the way out, a pearl of pre-cum formed at the slit on top. She moaned and reached out with her tongue to lick it. He jerked at the touch of her tongue and hissed out a breath.
“Fuck, yeah, that’s it, baby.”
Leigh licked his slit over and over until he pushed her mouth deeper over his cock. The salty taste of him was wonderful. She couldn’t wait for him to come in her mouth. She wanted to taste more of him. She loved her men’s tastes.
“I’m going to go as deep as I can down your throat, Leigh. Relax and breathe through your nose.” He slowly pushed his cock deeper into her mouth until he reached the back of her throat. She relaxed her throat and swallowed around him. He came up on his toes then backed out of her mouth.
“Fuck! That was good, Leigh. Do it again.” He pushed forward again, and she swallowed hard around him.
Over and over he tunneled down her throat for her to swallow him tight in her throat. Then he pulled back and began to fuck her mouth in earnest. Leigh loved it, loved the feel of his hands on her head digging his nails into her scalp. He needed her this way. She could do this for him. It thrilled her to know that she was giving him something he needed, because she had no doubt in her
mind that he needed some control over her. He was trying so hard to let her feel free without actually being free. She loved him for that. Loved him for caring enough about her feelings to try and give her what freedom he could.
Leigh loved Jonathan for his gentleness and caring. He did everything in his power to make her happy. He even bumped heads with his brother when it involved her happiness. She tried to keep that to a minimum, though. She didn’t want them fighting because of her.
Joel pummeled her mouth over and over again. She knew he was getting close because his balls had begun to draw up. She grinned around his thrusting cock and raked her nails along his balls at the same time she swallowed around him. He exploded in her throat with a roar.
“Yes! Fuck, that feels wonderful.” Joel pumped his cock with his hand while he came in her mouth.
Leigh swallowed him down, then when he pulled out, she grabbed his dick to lick him clean. She looked up at him from where she knelt at his feet and smiled. Joel threw back his head for a minute as if to clear it, then bent down and drew her to her feet. He pulled her into his arms and just held her for long seconds before turning her to the water to rinse.
“It’s time for me to get some sleep. Want to curl up with me for a while?” he asked.
“Love to.” Leigh cleaned up then stepped out of the shower to dry off.
They curled up in the bed together and fell asleep.
* * * *
Jonathan walked inside later that afternoon after pulling off his boots to find Leigh cooking in the kitchen. She squealed and jumped into his arms.
“I’m so glad you’re home. I missed you.” She hugged him then slid down his body to the floor. “Dinner will be ready in another thirty minutes. I woke Joel up and he’s dressing.”
“Something smells wonderful. What is it?” Jonathan asked.
“I made an apple pie from a can of apples. I thought you two could use something sweet for a change.” Leigh checked something in the oven.
“Joel loves apple pies. He’s going to hug you for that.”
“Hope you like it, too.” She turned to look at him with a frown.
“Oh, I like anything sweet. That’s why I love your pussy.”
“Play your cards right and I just might let you have a taste later.” She winked at him and started pulling out plates for the table.
“I’m going to go talk to Joel about the cows. We’ll be down to eat in a little while.” He winked at her and walked toward the living room.
Just as he reached the stairs, Joel started down them.
“Hey, little brother. How are the cows doing?” Joel reached the bottom of the stairs and crossed to the fireplace, where he stretched.
A fire roared in the hearth. He noticed they were getting low on wood by the fireplace. He made a mental note to bring more in after lunch. Leigh must have been keeping the fire going for them. It was obvious that Joel had just gotten up. His eyes were still sleepy looking. But the big thing to him was that his brother looked happy. He hadn’t looked that way in a long while.
Instead of commenting on it and possibly ruining it for him, Jonathan started talking about the herd.
“So far, they’re all sticking together as long as I’m around to make sure they do. Haven’t seen any wolves, but I did see a coyote and quite a few deer. I’m thinking some venison would be good for a change. Think I’ll kill us one tomorrow before I come back in. I can clean it up and carve it before bedtime. The meat will be good in the cellar for a couple of days.”
“Sounds good to me, too. You’ll have to probably help her cook it the first few times. I don’t know if she knows anything about wild meat or not,” Joel pointed out.
“We’ll take care of it. You need to be careful out there at night and watch your back. Those wolves are getting smart. I know they are out there. I can feel them looking, but I haven’t seen them. If you don’t see them tonight, I’m going to look around in the woods tomorrow in the daylight and see how deep their tracks start.”
“You be careful in the woods. Like you said, they’re getting smart. They could be luring you in for a reason.”
“It snowed another inch, I think, but the clouds are breaking up. I think this is it for this round.”
“Hope the temps stay steady so we don’t end up with mud again. I don’t mind the cold so much if we don’t have mud to deal with,” Joel said.
“Hey, you guys, the food is on the table,” Leigh’s voice rang out from the kitchen.
“She cooked an apple pie. Can you smell it?” Jonathan asked.
“Hot damn. I love apple pie.” Joel hurried into the kitchen ahead of Jonathan.
After dinner, they enjoyed their apple pie dessert and then Joel stretched and started toward the door to pull on his coat.
Jonathan was amused when Leigh stopped him and pulled him down for a very intimate kiss. She held his head between her hands and laid it on him. When they came up for air, Joel laughed and wrapped her in his arms. “You behave yourself. Don’t give Jonathan any trouble.”
“I’m never any trouble.” She pouted.
“Tell that to someone who believes you.”
“Jonathan believes me, don’t you, Jonathan?”
“Sure, baby. I believe anything you say.” He laughed when she scowled at him.
“Careful out there, brother. See you in the morning.” Jonathan opened the door for him then closed it and locked it behind him.
At Leigh’s worried look, he laughed. “Don’t worry. He has a key.”
“Why don’t you go relax in front of the fire while I clean up. Then we can have a nice hot bath together before bed.”
“I’m going to bring in some more wood first. I’ll be out front if you need me.” Jonathan slapped her on the ass once with his palm and then hurried through the doorway before she retaliated.
He spent thirty minutes making sure they had plenty of wood inside and out on the front porch. Then he checked the kitchen and found Leigh still working on something, so he climbed in his recliner to wait for her to come and get him.
He must have dozed at some point, because the next thing he knew, she was climbing up in the chair with him.
“You awake?” she asked.
“Am now.”
“Let’s go get a bath and go to bed. I bet you’re tired.” Leigh backed off the end of the chair, causing it to sit back up.
It spilled her onto the floor, laughing.
“Are you okay?” he asked, standing up to pull her to her feet.
“Yes. I should have known that would happen. Come on.” She pulled at him until he followed her to the stairs.
They undressed as the tub filled with water. She stepped in and sank beneath the hot, sudsy water with his help. Then he climbed in and followed suit. He grabbed her feet and pulled them into his lap to massage. He figured she had been on her feet a good part of the day.
“What have you been doing all day?” he asked.
“Other than cooking, I cleaned out your bedroom and moved your stuff into the master bedroom with mine. That room was filthy. It needed a good cleaning.”
“I’m sure it did. We didn’t do much cleaning at all.” He began moving up her legs with his massage.
“Well, it’s clean now. I threw out a few shirts that were threadbare. You have plenty and can get more the next time you go scavenging. I can keep them clean for you so you don’t need more than a dozen shirts and half dozen jeans. The jeans I cut off for shorts for the summer. All that was wrong with them was where the knees were out.”
“You’ve been a busy little bee. You might want to talk to Joel before you mess around in his room. He’s a little more particular than I am.”
He felt her go still. “Did I do something wrong by cleaning out your room? I didn’t mean to, Jonathan.”
“Shh, baby. It doesn’t bother me, but it might Joel. Talk to him first, is all I’m saying.”
“Okay, I will.” She relaxed again and began soaping up her cloth.
>
“Let me bathe you, Leigh. I like doing it.” He reached for the cloth.
“You like playing with my breasts is what you like to do,” she teased.
“Well, that, too.” He began running the cloth over her body.
Jonathan liked the way she smiled when he began massaging her breasts with his bare hands. He liked the way they felt when he squeezed them. He leaned forward and licked at a nipple then blew over it. She moaned.
“That’s cruel. It’s cold now.” Leigh smirked at him. “Maybe you can warm it up for me.”
“How about I warm all of you up in bed instead?” He stood up and reached down to pull her up.
He felt his cock twitch in awareness as he watched the water sluice off her body as she stood up. It was all shiny, glistening in the lamplight. The reflection of it off the mirror widened his area of sight. He loved her. He would do anything to keep her safe and happy.
“Help me out, Jonathan. I’m scared I’ll slip.” She reached out for him.
He picked her up and sat her on the mat, making sure she had her balance before he let go of her. She giggled and began to dry off, presenting her back to him when she bent over to dry her lower legs and feet. He grinned and popped her on one ass cheek. She looked over her shoulder at him and grinned.
“Come on, you little tease. Let’s get in bed before we catch cold.” He hurried her into the bedroom and beneath the covers.
Chapter Nine
Leigh moaned as Jonathan sucked on her pussy. He was beneath the covers driving her crazy with his tongue and fingers. He had two in her pussy with his thumb in her ass and rubbed the thin layer of flesh between the two. It was driving her crazy. The sensation felt naughty and wonderful all at the same time.
“Oh, God, Jonathan! I’m going to come if you keep doing that.”
“That’s the purpose, baby.” He returned to licking her cunt with his long tongue.
“I want to come with you inside of me.” She panted then as he pumped his fingers in and out of her holes.
The sparks began to build inside of her pussy as he rubbed over her sweet spot over and over with his fingers and thumb. It had her eyes rolling back in her head when he licked over her clit at the same time. He was driving her crazy. She would never live through the orgasm. He would kill her with it.
