Rated NC-17

"We are in field of Mexican Heather, it is a flower indigenous to this area and to Mexico. It is a very resilient flower just like you. It needs very little water to thrive and survive the harsh conditions around here.  But Cass, you are going to need a lot of me to thrive, I promise you." 

He reached into his saddlebags and threw two blankets down to the ground. Santos gently lifted her from him and sat her back down properly on his lap.  He reached and put his feet through the stirrups and started kissing her again. She liked this kissing but was growing a bit inpatient, there really seemed to be something missing now, although she still could not place what it was.

---------------------

She started leaning to the left and Ray unhooked his foot from the right stirrup. He held her waist with his arms and slowly started to dismount the horse pulling her down with him.  Brandy had never experienced this before and it was obvious from her snorting and neighing that she did not like it. Brandy as if sensing her master's thoughts gently whinnied and bucked her croup and haunches up in a slight backward motion.  The movement brought Cassie completely into Ray's arms and they both slid slowly to the ground.  

They lay down on the blankets.  Cassie noted that the field of heather was as fragrant as it was beautiful. She also noticed the gentle hum of bees and the sounds of birds. All around them the creatures were receiving nurturance. She decided it was her turn too.

Ray looked at her, reached down, and pulled free the band holding her braid in place.  He fanned her hair out around her face and told her how beautiful she looked. She laughed and he stopped.

"Cass you are so beautiful in this field, do you want to keep that skirt on? I like you in that skirt but without the skirt…"

Cassie laughed happily and pulled Ray towards her, he slowly undid the buttons of her shirt and lay open her bountiful breasts.  Then he removed his own shirt.  He moved so that their chests touched, in an intimate way.  He loved the feel of her breasts against his chest.  It gave him such a warm feeling, a feeling of closeness that he would grow to love and would always want from her.  He undid the buttons of her skirt and started slowly massaging her legs again but this time he did touch her when she moved her hips up towards him and thrust herself at him.  He felt her warmth and her need for him and he stayed at his task until she was moaning and crying out for him. 

"Cass, shhh it may hurt again."

"Now," she shouted, "now."

He then proceeded to make love to her amidst the heather and the two of them would never forget for as long as they lived the deluge to their senses that afternoon.  They would remember the feel of the feathery light purple heather against their exposed skin and the touch of one another's hands. The smell of the fragrant perfumed flowers, the sounds of Brandy whinnying as the bees buzzed around her, the sounds the birds chirping and the sounds of their words of ecstasy in one another's ears. They would always remember their first sight of one another's body blended into this natural scenario. They would remember the feel of their skin and the textured difference as they touched one another.

Later Cassie and Ray lay there staring up into the sun.  Ray said, "You know Cass it has never been like this for me before. I have never felt like this before, Cass, I think I would like to be with you like this until the end of time."

"I love it when you call me Cass, she said.  I dislike my Christian name, Cassandra and like Cassie even less.  Cass is nice thank you."  

She began kissing him again while reaching down to touch him and stroke him as well. As she intensified those familiar sounds and movements of someone who wants to make love, he pulled her hand away.   

"Cass," he said, "we have been together twice this afternoon and you've been riding honey, I want you to be able to walk again.  You will be so sore tomorrow."

Cassie looked back at him, "But Ray if I will be sore, why not be really sore?"

They made love again and Cassie and Ray both came together as the sun set in the western sky.  They rolled around in the bouquet filled meadow like the two young people that they were, with no cares or worries, just feeling the joy of their lovemaking. Ray made her ride sidesaddle sitting in his lap on the way back and he cradled her in his arms the entire way.  He carried her into the house and lit all the lamps. He laid her on the bed and taking his bandana and some towels washed her gently.  Ray made a mental note to never let this bandana leave his person again.

He went to the kitchen and warmed up the dinner she left in the icebox. They ate in bed and afterwards shared light murmurings. He held her and they drifted off to sleep. Ray woke up once during the night and reached over to turn down the kerosene lamp.  Tomorrow would be another day and they could scheme and try to exert influence over one another and try to manipulate land and marriage but tonight they were one.  The end for now...
