Claire hummed contentedly as she walked from one stall to the other. She was wearing black slacks and a dark blue shirt, her work uniform. Senior year had come and gone and she still hadn't left Fairview. She'd finally graduated from high school. Even though she had done fairly well, her grades hadn't been enough to get her a scholarship. Although she still dreamed of leaving town someday she was happy. Truly happy for the first time in her life. Everything had turned around for the better.

Since she had finished school and had more time on her hands she had been able to get another job at a horse ridding facility. When she'd first started her duty had been to clean the stalls in the barn. It hadn't been a very glamorous job but she hadn't minded. A little while later she'd been promoted to grooming the magnificent animals. The trainer in charge liked her, often praising her soft touch with the horses that naturally gravitated toward her. He'd taught her to how clean and care for them. It was a fairly easy job and she loved it. The pay was better than all of her jobs combined which was a major plus.

It paid so well that she'd been able to move out of her mama's house and get a place of her own. When she'd first realized that she was earning enough to do so she'd been ecstatic. She had immediately searched for an affordable place to live in the better parts of town and had been lucky to find a tiny one story cottage, with a single decently sized bedroom, a living room, bathroom and kitchen.

The owner of the house was a naturally terse but kind widow Mrs Boone who was in her mid sixties. She had been relieved that Mrs Boone hadn't cared who her mother was or what she did. Her husband had passed away some years ago and all her adult children had long moved out of home. The old lady lived in the main house which was a good distance from the cottage but still close enough that Claire didn't feel completely isolated. She even had her own small gate which allowed her a bit of privacy.

Her mama had become completely furious when Claire told her that she was moving out. She had accused her of being ungrateful and selfish. She'd instantly chased her out, telling her that she was probably going to come back crawling on her hands and knees begging for forgiveness when she eventually failed. She hadn't even allowed her to pack any of her belongings. But it hadn't mattered much anyway because she didn't have a ton of stuff.

Mama had been enraged by the fact that she would no longer be getting any money from her. It was devastating how her mother had, in extremely vulgar terms, told her to get lost without even asking her where she was going to live. It was obvious that she hadn't cared enough to find out and that had really gutted her. She knew that her mother didn't love her, never had and even though she had always been that way her callousness still managed to deeply hurt her. But unfortunately, even that didn't stop her from craving that love and acceptance.

Mrs Boone who insisted that she call her by her first name which was Sally had welcomed her with open arms, her kindness like a healing balm on an old angry wound. She had even given her, her daughter's old clothes which had fit perfectly. They had become quite close, they had supper together on a regular basis and kept each other company since they were both alone. Although she hadn't had any contact with her mother whom she thought about often she had never been so happy and content.

When she reached the last stall she was still humming her favorite tune. Her last horse for the day was a young and enthusiastic four year old thoroughbred gelding named Dash. He nudged her affectionately when she reached him, "Hello, how's my good boy?" She spoke softly, stroking his neck. "Let's get you all fixed up."

Claire was methodical in her process. She started with his feet and used a hoof pick to clean the mud and debris off the soles of his feet. Next she used a grooming mitt from the tip of his muzzle to the back of his rump to loosen up all the shedding that had accumulated since his last grooming. She then used a vacuum to remove the dead hair and afterwards began using a soft brush over his entire body to give him a bit of shine.

Dash continued to playfully nudge her and she smiled and talked to him while still gently brushing him. She suddenly heard a door opening which was followed by loud angry voices, a little ways from where she was. Her heart immediately skipped a beat when she recognized one of the voices. It was definitely Levi, no doubt about it. He was in what sounded like a heated conversation with an older man. She hadn't seen him since they had had that brief conversation at his parent's home, until she'd spotted him in the morning when he had arrived at the facility with his parents for some horse riding and a late lunch.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAagkWpWDTYP
She fought equal feelings of curiosity and guilt. It was wrong for her to be listening in on Levi's conversation with the yet unidentified man. But at the same time she couldn't stop herself from eavesdropping, if only to learn a little bit more about him. "For Pete's sake! What the hell is wrong with you boy? How can you enlist after what happened to your brother!" the man shouted in a booming voice.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAvWEfdZlWQv
"He's dead. I'm going with or without your consent. As a matter of fact, I don't need it." Was Levi's surprisingly calm response. She continued distractedly messaging and brushing the horse, also making sure not to move a muscle or make a sound. "Then don't ever come back home again." the man said and she heard him walk out. There were a few minutes of silence until Levi's shouted, "Fuck!" and kicked a bucket that flew and landed with a big thud, water sloshing everywhere.

Claire heard him walk towards the stall she was in and thought he was probably going to exit through the back door. He abruptly stopped when he saw her. She didn't dare look at him but continued to brush Dash's mane. He just stood there for a while, not moving or saying anything. Unable to stand the silence any longer she turned and looked at him. Her heart beat erratically in her chest when he slowly made his way toward her.

He got so close that he was just a few inches from physically touching her. She swallowed nervously and glanced up at him. His dark eyes had her so spellbound that she didn't notice his hands snaking around her waist until she felt him drawing her to him. She wet her suddenly dry lips and was amazed to realize he was intensely watching the movement.

Her mind stopped functioning when his head came closer to hers. His lips were cool and soft as they gently brushed against hers. He lightly kissed her over and over again until she felt so lightheaded that she sagged heavily against him. He whispered, "Open your mouth." and she silently obeyed him and parted her lips. He pushed his tongue inside her mouth and it was sweet, agonizing torture.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAX37BiCD9bw
It was a kiss so deep, so sure that there wasn't any part of her mouth his searching tongue didn't seek out. She stood still as a million foreign feelings assaulted her all at once robbing her of a sound mind. A hot, delicious liquid like sensation moved within her and settled low on her stomach. "Kiss me back." Was his second command issued in a much deeper, much huskier voice than before. Claire immediately responded and shyly flicked her tongue against his and heard what sounded closely like a growl issued from his throat.
40Please respect copyright.PENANADOKus0gCrK
Using only pure instinct she did it again and was emboldened and rewarded by his fierce reaction. He slowly moved his hands down her back, cupped her bottom and bought her firmly against his hardness. She gasped as shock waves of pleasure ricocheted along her nerve endings. She dropped the brush she had been holding in her hands and put her arms around his neck. Then stood on the tips of her toes and brought herself more securely against him, making him groan in satisfaction.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA3SwW3AE6gL
They kissed until Claire thought she'd died and gone to heaven or maybe it was hell? She didn't know! Surely heaven forbid such intense carnal pleasure. All she knew was Levi's tongue making sweet love to her mouth, making her ache in places too shocking to even think of. He abruptly lifted his head and looked down at her. His eyes were as dark as sin and in their fathomless depths Claire saw her own dazed expression staring back at her. In disbelief of what was happening between them she tentatively licked her lower lip and tasted him there.

"Damn!" He uttered and pushed her back against the wall. His eyes still locked on hers he moved his hands over her breasts and gently squeezed them. She tried but couldn't stop the moan that escaped from her lips. Enthralled and unable to conjure up the will to stop him, she watched him unbutton her work shirt until it was wide open. He used his thumbs to rub her nipples through her bra and they immediately hardened. She held her breath and closed her eyes, while thinking frantically that she was crazy for allowing this to go on. Absolutely nuts!!
40Please respect copyright.PENANA3dsM4KwRes
But all thoughts ceased as he pushed her bra aside and brought his head low, covering one pointed nipple with his warm mouth. It felt so good that she groaned and let out a breathless, "Hmm ... Yes!" And both her hands flew to his head and brought him firmly against her breast. Which he suckled with a slow, tender thoroughness, before shifting his attention to the other one and showing it the same diligent attention.

With her hands still in his silky hair, he leisurely trailed wet kisses on her collarbone. Up her neck, along her jawline and then pushed his tongue inside her ear. His hands molded and reshaped her breasts and Claire let out breathless moan after breathless moan as she thought she'd explode from the pleasure he inflicted upon her, pleasure as she'd never experienced before. He pressed and rubbed his rigid middle between her legs and she let out a stunned cry just as he brought his mouth back to hers, kissing her again and again and again drowning her in an infinite pool of exquisite desire.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAqDvI7i8ayT
"Goddamn!" He cursed again, "The way you kiss, I bet you're a real pricey whore. How much to fuck you right now?"
40Please respect copyright.PENANAOfOq8VprZh
If he'd poured a bucket of icy cold water down her back it wouldn't have cooled her arousal as quickly as his words did.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAr9tcID5Pzw
She immediately stiffened, "Get off me." She seethed and shoved him off her.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAWwJ2dqL6CP
He let her go and moved a few feet away from her. She quickly re-buttoned her shirt and was proud of herself for how fast she managed to do it considering how much her hands were shaking.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAOnAq2KY7te
"What's the problem?" He asked in an angry voice. "I know you want me."
40Please respect copyright.PENANAZb8hGSOUMe
Claire covered her face with her hands and took a few steadying breaths, "I don't want you." She all but screamed.
40Please respect copyright.PENANABuZLsEXBFR
He raked his hands through his hair, "Could have fooled me." He said, sarcasm dripping off his voice.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAalY8byEX9U
“You might as well had been begging for it.” He added, “Your sweet, greedy tongue was drinking me up like dry desert ground thirsty for rain." His voice a rough gravelly sound that in spite of everything still sent shivers of excitement down her spine.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA8pxybj0ntf
She glanced up at him and felt a deep blush cover her entire face. The fact that he was right further mortified her but it also made her angry. Angry with herself. Had she lost her friggin mind! What was wrong with her! Never in all her life had she acted so recklessly. Letting him intimately touch her, moaning and clinging to him like ... like some shameless wanton. 'God, I could just die.' she thought in despair and utter humiliation.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAHyIX0YhpkW
"Don't think too highly of yourself. I'm not that interested." She tried but failed to sound haughty and unbothered and to her consternation she only felt hot tears prickle her eyes.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAnwsSnFZieQ
She knew deep down that she was playing with fire, provoking him the way she was. Somewhere even deeper she was unreasonably hurt that he truly believed her to be the slut everyone said she was. But she'd rather let him continue thinking that than let him know how drastically his kisses had affected her.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qmh0KZ9Ji
He merely smirked, "Is that right?"
40Please respect copyright.PENANAg5f8j2ChdW
She raised her chin in defiance, silently challenging him. But when he walked up to her it took all of her strength of will to stop herself from backing away from him. He raised one hand to her breast and lightly caressed her. "Please ..." she breathed, "Don't!"
40Please respect copyright.PENANAKkAy8fE0IL
But he was beyond listening. He simply anchored her to him again and kissed her so deeply that within a few seconds he had her panting and almost pleading for more.
40Please respect copyright.PENANADU4SbXfBWV
"Baby, you're as hot for me as I am for you. The innocent act is sexy as hell but we both know that's all it is. An act." He whispered, his breath soft on her lips.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAUPEvwMAkjW
She pushed him back once more, quickly walked out of the stall and left him and Dash staring after her.
