“Tell me about it. Still, I’m going to have to speak to the police soon, so I need to take a raincheck on sleeping by your side.”
“I’m sure you’ll cash that check soon.”
“Of course.” He walks me up to the bed and tucks me under the covers. It feels so nice that I quickly fall asleep. When I wake up he’s back and cooking dinner.
“Did you sleep well?”
“I did. Are you okay?”
“Yes, they realized he’d been doping up for a while and they said it’s been more common lately as the drugs move across the border.”
“What are you going to do about a ranch manager?”
“I don’t know yet. I have to speak to my guys and see who’s up to the task. I’m sure there are at least two men I could offer the job to, but I don’t want any infighting.”
“I get it. Now, what smells so good?”
“I’m making steak tacos tonight. It’s not too much work and with the weather a little warm, I’ve cooked the meat on the grill. Sit down and I’ll serve it up.” I walk around the kitchen island and plant a big kiss on his lips before pulling back and taking my seat. “I know what’s for dessert.”
“Good, my pussy’s ready.”
He growls, “I need to feed you first. Can’t have my baby starving.”
As soon as we’re done eating, he tosses me onto the sofa where he proceeds to feast between my thighs for dessert.
Epilogue
Cowboy
Beautiful. I look down at my wife as she rests. The heat has been pretty rough this summer and her belly is round as hell, holding my little treasure inside. I lean down on the bed and brush my lips against her soft rounded cheek. She gets upset that she’s got cherub-looking cheeks now because she’s pregnant, but I never thought she looked more beautiful.
Phoenix’s carrying my child for the second time. Our daughter is a beautiful angel, looking like her mother, but this little one is a boy and I wonder who he’s going to be like.
Thankfully everything that happened almost two years ago has been taken care of. Richter decided to make a deal and rat out a dozen other people, although it didn’t end well because he was shanked in prison. Moreno and Cox were found about six months after they were reported missing. Initially, they believed that Moreno had been kidnapped by Cox, but after reviewing their history, the truth came out.
He’d been working with Cox for more than two years before dealing with Richter. Moreno had gone underground a week after Richter was arrested, so the Feds wouldn’t find him. Officials believe that Moreno and Cox must have gotten into a fight and killed each other, or that’s what they believe from looking at the scattered and decayed remains, finding Moreno’s government-issued gun near his remains and the slugs inside Cox matching Moreno’s weapon.
I don’t think about it again because everything has been said and done. All I focus on is my growing family and ranch. The latest arrival of cattle has been a good batch, with three of the cows already pregnant, saving me a lot of work in the long run. My new manager has worked wonders. Although I don’t quite trust him completely like I had Jose. Some scars are too deep.
I kick off my shoes and slide into bed with my wife, hugging her close from behind. “Cowboy, you’re back.”
“Yes, I am. We have a few hours to ourselves before Morgan drops off Lucy.”
“Good, because I’ve been aching.” I panic, but then she rubs her ass over my always hard cock.
“I can take care of that, wife.”
And I do until she’s back to sleep. I kiss her once more before going about my work in my office. Life has never been so good.
Phoenix
Ten years married
“Mom, can I go play with Junior?”
“Of course, sweetheart.” I look at my oldest boy. At almost eight, Micah’s grown so much and looks identical to his father. If I didn’t give birth to him, you’d never know he was mine. Although he does love my goat. I follow him to the pen, more like waddle. Like many of the women in Steeleville, I’ve added significantly to the population. I’m on baby number five. It’s like I have a season for breeding like the animals.
Speaking of animals, I see one of the sexiest beasts coming my way on his favorite horse. “Well, hello there, little lady. Where are you headed?”
“With Micah to check on Junior.” Micah runs back to our side when he notices his daddy.
“Dad, I want to go riding.”
“You know you have to wait for your arm to heal first.” He fell off his pony a month ago, spraining his wrist and giving us a heart attack in the process. Raymond lost his mind and nearly banned him from riding, but since our princess loves to ride, he knew he couldn’t stop our son. Still, he has to wait until he’s one hundred percent before trying again.
