Giddy Up (4 page)

“You’re right. If we’d flown into
Bozeman and rented our car there, we would’ve missed out on meeting
some nice people, trying new foods, and seeing a small portion of
this huge country. It’s the little things that make a trip special
and make the adventure ours.”

“Well, here’s another first.
Welcome to the Big W Ranch.” Ted turned to look at her and smiled.
He turned off the highway and drove through the tall gates, pleased
she was finally on their territory. By passing over the cattle
grid, he had a new feeling about coming home he’d never had before,
and figured it had everything to do with the woman at his
side.

For the next couple of months,
they’d be working hard to double tag the newborn calves, and get
the tracking program up and running without any hitches. It wasn’t
going to be an easy project to put into action, although it would
definitely give them all a chance to become better
acquainted.

As the idea formed, he needed to
clarify things for himself. From listening to Matt talk about her
and from his own conversations with Sakura, he already knew they’d
fit well together. They’d be happy living behind a white picket
fence. However, no matter how much he wanted her, Ted knew he and
his brother needed to give her time to decide what she wanted for
herself.

The future would be much better
with her in their lives.

“It’s big and open, do you have any
neighbors?”

Ted liked her wide-eyed expression.
He wanted a woman in his life, one who hadn’t seen it all and tried
anything for a quick thrill. It looked like he’d found one who was
that, and smart and beautiful. Sakura was an intriguing mix he
couldn’t wait to learn more about.

“Except for Sunny and Court, who
breed and train horses to the southwest, and the Flemings to the
north who are trying their hand at bison, there are none for quite
a distance. When we were growing up there were more farms being
actively worked by families with multiple generations under one
roof. Unfortunately, the recent trend is for conglomerates to buy
up land to ranch on a much larger industrial scale. We weren’t
ready to give up our way of life and are trying to make it
work.”

Turning to the right, he bypassed
the barn where everything happened and where he normally parked.
Wanting to give Sakura a nice introduction to their home, he pulled
in front of the small house where he and Matt grew up.

“This is a beautiful home, Ted.
Exactly how I pictured it,” she exclaimed, and her enthusiasm made
him smile. Walking over to her side, he was thrilled when she put
her hands on his shoulders as he helped her out of his truck. Even
though he wanted to pull her close and kiss her soft lips, he
wouldn’t because he was dirty. At least his hands were clean and
they were the only bit of him to touch the beautiful woman as he
set her carefully on the ground.

“Matt and I were born and grew up
in this house. Once we both returned home as adults to live and
work, it became obvious it was too small for us. We had another
place built and use this one for company. Let me show you around.”
He motioned with his hand for her to walk before him.

There was a small front garden full
of their mother’s rose bushes, with a white picket fence. There
wasn’t one at the moment, but when a gentle breeze wafted through
it would cast their scent far and wide. They never hid the smell of
a working ranch, but it reminded him of when they were young and
his mom spent hours tending her flowers.

He liked the memories. They made
him think the white picket fence lifestyle was still out there.
Their friends Sunny and Court, two people as kinky as he, had the
life he wanted and made him wonder if it was attainable for
him.

Watching Sakura slowly take in her
surroundings as she walked the path to the front door sent passion
rushing to pool between his legs. His dick hardened as an image
formed of coming home after a day of dirty work to find the
delicate beauty in front of him naked and on her knees, eager to
play with either him or his brother, or both. Yeah, he wanted a
white picket fenced household, and he wanted it with
Sakura.

Reaching around her, he opened the
door and held it for her to walk through. She was a tiny thing and
walked under his outstretched arm with ease.

“This is the living room and dining
room, with the kitchen through the door. The two bedrooms are on
either side of the hall and a bathroom at the end.” Ted turned
around and pointed out the various places, but tried not to face
Sakura. There was no way he’d scare her off already by pointing a
hard-on at her before she even had a chance to get
settled.

When she didn’t say anything, he
looked over his shoulder to check on her and found her eyes tracing
his body.

The heat he found in her brown eyes
strengthened his need to touch her even further. The pull was
strong and had him facing her, ready for whatever she wanted. There
was no flinch, but an almost laugh when her gaze landed on what
he’d tried to hide.

“Yeah, you do that to me,” he
confided with a smile and took a step closer. “When you were in
Japan, it was your soft sexy voice and my imagination of what you
looked like making me hard. In person my attraction to you is much
more powerful.”

Sakura moved close enough to put
her hand on his chest and his heart beat faster.

“It’s the same for me,” she
murmured and took the last step which brought her a cat’s whisker
from his body. His cock pushed against her flat belly. There was no
question he got off seeing her lips open and hearing a gasp escape.
While his body wanted to take what she might be offering, Ted
wasn’t making any moves.

There were too many open ended
questions needing answers first. They could fuck for days, no,
decades if he had his way.

It wasn’t easy to keep his distance
from her and put his hands on her hips in a bid to keep her from
walking away. They’d talked business, flirted and joked for months,
and she felt right in his arms. His hands fit naturally on her
body. The heel of his hands rested over her hip bones, and his
fingers struggled not to squeeze her ass. Even though his hold on
her was light and hopefully not threatening, he already knew it
would be difficult to let her go.

Looking away from her red lips, he
was once again drawn further into her desire when their eyes
connected. Would it be bad if he leaned down and gently pressed his
lips to hers? He’d already kissed her in the diner and nothing bad
had happened. He promised himself to take things no further if she
didn’t pull away. Besides, one kiss would be enough, at least for
the moment.

“Sakura,” he whispered and meant to
ask for a kiss. He leaned down for one, but was suddenly stopped a
whisper from their lips touching.

“Told you my brother would want you
the second he laid eyes on you,” Matt said as he walked into the
living room.

Ted experienced no jealousy,
knowing the woman standing comfortably in his arms had once spent
an evening of fantasy-filled passion with his brother. Growing up,
they’d liked the same things when it came to women. There weren’t
many around, so sharing hadn’t been a big deal to them, not then
and not now.

Immediately picturing the woman
currently melting in his arms dressed as a geisha had his dick
hardening even further. She glanced up at him and her lips parted,
looking almost as if she were ready for more. He hoped they could
talk her into staying on for a satisfying life behind the kinky
white picket fence he and his brother wanted.

With his hands holding her hips,
Ted reminded himself of the changes happening around them and knew
they were all the right ones for them. They were moving the Big W
Ranch into the future by sending their beef to Japan with the help
of Sakura. Her being in their home meant their private lives were
looking good.

“Welcome to America, Sakura,” Ted
whispered in her ear before he dropped a kiss and gentle nibble on
her neck. His splayed hand gently squeezed her ass cheek and was
joined by his brother’s over the other. Dropping another kiss on
her neck, he smiled at his brother when she gasped, and then he
left.

There was work to finish before
they could fully implement the program Sakura brought to ensure
they complied with Japanese import rules.

* * * *

Matt took Sakura in his arms,
pulled her close, and kissed her with unfulfilled passion raging
through him. He was thrilled his geisha girl was in his arms
again.

They’d worked together, closely,
for over a month and he’d been beyond infatuated from day one. It
hadn’t taken long before he’d wanted her more than he’d ever
desired another woman, only it hadn’t been possible. Not if he’d
wanted to keep a good working relationship with her father and
Nakamura Enterprises.

However, the woman in his arms,
smelling like sunshine and fresh air, was beautiful and
intelligent. She’d twisted things around and he’d left Japan having
satisfied a long-held fantasy involving her as a geisha, although
he hadn’t known the latter part until he’d returned
home.

He would be forever thankful life
had taken what could have been the worst mistake he’d ever made and
brought the woman herself into their home. All they had to do was
show her how living with them on the Big W Ranch was exactly what
she wanted. There was no room for error. If they were to have her
in their lives, then they had to leave the decision up to
her.

It was one of the hardest things
he’d ever had to do, but wanting more helped him slowly pull his
mouth away from her delicious lips. Pressing his forehead to hers,
he told her what was on the tip of his tongue.

“I’m glad you came to Montana,
Sakura.” He tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and told
her what had been on his mind for months. “You were a sexy geisha
and are an even more stunning business woman.”

“There was a great deal I didn’t
know about when it came to being a geisha. I enjoyed the ritual of
dressing and acting as one for you.” She wrapped her arms around
his waist and held on tightly.

Her delightful nipples were firm
and poked his chest. As they prodded him, Matt remembered what
she’d done to them for their intimate time together in Japan and
he’d found it enticing. Hopefully he would experience the excitable
fleshy tips again, but not yet. He didn’t want to push her into
anything she wasn’t ready for.

Stepping back slightly, he was
about to let her know nothing was going to happen but was stopped
by the arrival of Jon and Molly.

“Oh, Sakura, isn’t the Big W big?
And this house, it’s adorable. The roses out front remind me of my
grandmother’s. They’re fragrant and the colors are vibrant. Simply
lovely.”

Matt had met Molly while working in
Japan, liked her, and found it interesting how her English accent
was suddenly stronger than he remembered. Maybe it was her thinking
about home bringing it out. Whatever it was, he found it
cute.

Looking at her more closely, he
noticed her blush, bright eyes, and overall happiness. He’d never
seen her look like that in Japan. It was her laughter at one of
Jon’s quiet comments which had her opening his eyes to the fact she
might fancy the man.

Standing beside Sakura, he bent
down and whispered his discovery to her as the other couple
wandered around the small house.

“I think your friend is smitten
with Jon.”

“He seems nice and quiet, I’m sure
he wouldn’t harm a fly,” she responded in kind.

Matt hadn’t signed up to be a
Marine, nor was he sent into war with Ted and Jon. They’d talked
enough about it for him to know both men were capable of much
worse, but not with a woman. Never.

“I’ve known the guy since our
school days. He’s a good man and a catch for the right woman.” The
couple was headed back toward them and he had a second to give her
a warning of sorts. “Fair warning for Molly, the right woman would
need to be into some serious kink.”

“What?” She looked at him with
startled eyes right as Molly stopped in front of them.

“Pinch me, Sakura. We’re on a
Montana ranch in the United States of America with gorgeous cowboys
everywhere. Life doesn’t get any better.”

Within five seconds of silence, the
two ladies hugged each other and burst into laughter. He wasn’t
sure what was funny, but it didn’t matter. He liked watching them
let loose and have fun. At a sound by the door, he looked over and
realized their bags had been brought in by Ted and Jon.

“Okay, ladies, we’ll leave you two
to get settled in and will see you at the main house for dinner.”
He, his brother, and Jon walked out and made their way to the
barn.

“Interested?” Normally Matt
wouldn’t ask about Jon’s sex life, but he was curious.

“Yup, those blue eyes blinked up at
me, and I was roped, tied, and caught,” the man
muttered.

Snickering, he looked at his friend
and found a rare smile, teeth and all, and laughed as he slapped
the other man on the back.

“The next few months are going to
be fun for all of us. Keep it safe, sane, and consensual, my
friend.”
