Unspoken Pleasure

I recalled Bill’s words about having to fend off every male for counties around to win his wife. Caitlin was every bit the prize that her mother was, at least in looks. I excused myself from the table and returned to my cabin. Mentally I wished the two guys luck. I did envy them though. If Caitlin turned out to be the woman her mother was, who ever won her affections would be a lucky man.

The next day I took the pick up and rode the range. By the time I had made my rounds something didn’t seem to add up. It was early enough that I went back and got Sam and we did a whirlwind tour of the ranch. There were a lot of cattle scattered over the ranch but he agreed that something didn’t feel right. It just seemed like we were short a few head. We decided we would saddle up the next day and ride the hilly areas. We discussed it with Bill that night at supper and he agreed to our plan. It rained that night which would make finding tracks more difficult.

The next morning we loaded our horses into a trailer and Bill drove us to one end of the property. I rode about a third of the way up into the tree line and Sam rode another third higher. We then headed across the ranch over the hills and through the trees. It took a big part of the day to reach the far side. We counted five stray head. Bill met us as we came out of the hills and we loaded the horses in the trailer and headed back. We discussed the situation and decided the only thing we could do is be more vigilant.

At dinner that night Caitlin had another suitor call on her. I heard her mother mutter something about that being the third one that day. The word had gotten out that she was back home and guys were crawling out of the woodwork seeking her attention.

The next four days we spent a lot of time keeping an eye on the herd. Everything seemed to be okay except for the suspected original loss. Caitlin’s callers continued to visit. She had been home for a week and hadn’t said two words to me since the day she brought me my lunch.

The fifth day after the perceived disappearance of the cattle I told Bill I wanted to ride the property line through the hills. We had already covered all the fence line along the pasture areas and had seen no evidence that the missing cattle had taken through there. Sam dropped me off on the west side of the ranch. This was where Bill’s ranch bordered the Wilson ranch. About half way to the southwest corner I spotted three fresh sets of horse tracks. They crossed from the Wilson side of the fence onto Bill’s side. The puzzling thing is that the fence wire was still up. I dismounted and checked the fence posts and saw that the staples had been loosened on five posts and were barely holding the wire up. Remove the staples and lower the wire and you could cross over. Put the wire and staples back and it looked normal.

I remounted and and followed the tracks. When I got near the stream, I saw three horses tied to a tree a little ways above the waterfall. I was still about thirty yards away and I quickly got down and tied my horse to a tree and pulled the rifle from it’s scabbard. I crept quietly through the trees, my eyes darting from side to side. When I reached the horses I could see boot prints leading downstream. I crept to the edge of the waterfall and looked over and gasped. There was Caitlin in the pool. She was naked as the day she was born. I was mesmerized by the sight. She was swimming through the water, her nude body clearly on display in the clear water. Damn she had a cute ass. She rolled over onto her back and her firm tits stuck up from the water. I could even see a small strip of red hair above her pussy.

A movement in the trees to her right brought me back to my senses. I quickly scanned the area and saw one guy to the right and two more nearing the pond on the left. I raised my rifle and shot. The bullet hit between the feet of the guy on the right. One more quick pull of the trigger and the dirt exploded between the two guys on the left. Caitlin released a blood curdling scream that echoed through the trees. I stood up so everyone could see me.

“On your belly’s now. I won’t miss the next shot,” I yelled out. “Caitlin stay where you are.”

Caitlin hadn’t seen the three men. All she saw was me standing above her holding a rifle. “Are you crazy, Carson,” she screamed. She was doing her best to cover her tits with one arm and her pussy with the other.

One of the men on the left flinched as if he was going to run. The bark on the tree right next to his face exploded as I pulled the trigger again. He was convinced and dropped flat down. Caitlin looked to where I had shot and saw the two men. She shrieked again.

“I said on your stomachs. Three two.” Before I could say “one” the other two dropped down. “Now put your faces in the dirt and your hands behind your heads.” They again did as ordered.

“Now get out Caitlin and get dressed.”

“But Carson,” she began to protest.

“Goddamn it, Caitlin, just fucking do what I tell you. Get dressed and get the fuck out of here,” I snarled at her.

Caitlin was clearly scared and I could see her shaking from where I was but she did as I ordered and walked out of the pool. Like Venus rising from the sea she stepped out of the water. Even though she kept her back to me I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. The sight of her alabaster skin and the most perfectly rounded butt that I have ever beheld were forever etched into my mind. She only put on her jeans and shirt and swung up onto her horse. One kick and she was gone through the trees.

When she was gone I ordered the men one at a time to come up the rise and lay back down. Only when all three lay in front of me did I breathe a sigh of relief. I decided it was time for a bluff.

“Now what am I going to do with you three.” I paused for effect. “Guess I could just shoot your balls off and watch you bleed to death.” The three men began to plead for their lives. I got the distinct aroma of shit as at least one of them filled their pants.

“Even if I don’t kill you, Caitlin’s father will when I tell him how you were going to rape his only daughter. The only thing I can think of is if you have something to confess to the sheriff that was more important. Say something like rustling cattle. It might get you jail time but at least you would be alive.”

The smallest of the three broke. “Yes, we did it. Wilson said if he could break Buckman he could get his land.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

One of the others told him to shut up. “Fuck you. I ain’t dying over no damn cows,” the littler guy spat back.

I knew that Caitlin would ride as fast as she could to find her father and he would come to find out what had happened. In the meantime I decided to just wait. Sure enough forty five minutes later both Bill and Sam came riding into view. I waved down at them and they raced up to the top of the waterfall.
