Chapter Seven
August Twenty-Ninth
Tanya
Driving to Hadley and Tucker’s house, I can’t keep the smile off my face. Other than moving Mom and Rusty into their new home, I can’t remember ever being this excited. Well, that’s not exactly true. Every time Major smiles at me, my heart skips a beat. That comes from excitement and something else, something that I haven’t thought about since the day I saw Major and my brother riding horses.
My phone rings, drawing me away from my thoughts. Bending across the seat, I jerk my purse closer and dig out my phone. I glance at it quickly, making sure it’s not my dad calling again and bring it to my ear.
My eyes are focused on the road as I say, “Hello.”
“Did you get the job?” Hadley asks, sounding nearly as excited as I am.
“I did!” I shout, bouncing in my seat.
After only a week of looking, I finally found a job. It’s just a part-time position as a server at the Dairy Dip. I won’t make much at all, but at least I won’t have to depend on Major for everything. Since I moved here, he has paid for anything and everything. Last week, he even came into the house carrying a bag full of Midol and tampons. That was the last straw.
“She got it!” Hadley yells right before my mother grabs the phone. “Congratulations sweetie. I know how much you wanted this job.”
She does know; she has listened to me complain about it nearly every day. “Thank you, Mom.”
Even though I’ve always been independent, getting my first job at only thirteen, I’ve been unemployed since starting at the University of Kentucky, but not by choice. My father threatened to quit paying tuition if I worked. Even though he refused to let me work, he didn’t give me a penny. Mom offered, but I wasn’t taking what little she and Rusty had.
Luckily, I still had the two-thousand-dollar savings bond my grandma gave me for my tenth birthday. If not, I would have been stuck eating cafeteria food and washing my clothes in the dorm sink. With the interest it had earned, I had enough to get through my first year of college, but it ran out not long after I moved to White Chapel.
“Have you told Major yet?” she asks, her voice nearly drowned out by the sound of a tea kettle whistling.
“No, I want to tell him face to face,” I reply, a smile playing on my lips. “I’m heading that way right now.”
Major wasn’t really happy about me putting in applications, especially at places like the Dairy Dip and Piggly Wiggly. He claimed that a woman that carried a 4.0 GPA at the University of Kentucky shouldn’t be working for minimum wage. He said he could take care of me until I got out of college, so there was no need for me to get a job. I shot that down really quick, letting him know that wasn’t going to fly with me.
I told him that I liked working and sitting around the house was driving me crazy. I also let him know that one year in college, no matter what college, wasn’t enough to qualify me for more than manual labor. Then, I explained that since Dad wouldn’t be paying for my tuition anymore, I would never have more than one year of college under my belt.
We had a long talk after that, Major asking tons of questions. Somehow, he pulled out the story of why I wanted to be a dentist. I told him all about how I was terrified of going to the dentist as a child until Mom took me to one that specialized in pediatric dentistry. I told him about how great she was, putting me at ease the moment I crawled in her chair and that I wanted to do for others what she did for me.
After telling Major the story, he insisted on paying for me to go back to school. I argued, telling him I planned on taking loans after I got a job to cover gas and other essentials. He argued right back, damn near dragging me to Western Kentucky University to sign up for classes. I had missed the Fall registration deadline, but I have already started the process of transferring my records for UK, so I’ll be prepared for the Spring semester.
“I’m making raspberry jam cookies and jasmine tea,” Mom says, drawing my attention back to the phone call.
I smile, knowing she made my favorite treat. “I’m fixing to pull into the driveway. I’ll be in as soon as I talk to Major.”
After a quick goodbye, I put the phone back in my purse and turn into Hadley’s drive. It takes a minute to get to the house. Once there, I park and cut off the engine. A few seconds later, I’m out of the car and heading toward the barn. I stop when I see Major and another man standing near the corral, watching Tucker ride a Pinto colored horse.
Major turns to me, a huge smile spreading across his face. I return the smile, rushing to him. I stumble over my own feet when the other man turns my way. I damn near fall on my face when I get a look at him. He is absolutely gorgeous, un-fucking-believably gorgeous. Best of all he looks almost like Major’s twin.
His lips tip up at the side as his eyes travel up and down my body. “Damn, brother. First, Tucker claims Hadley’s hot ass. Now you get something this damn sweet. How do I miss all the good ones?”
“Don’t be slobbering over my woman, Gunnar,” Major says, reaching out and pulling me into his side. “She’ll be your sister someday soon.”
Gunnar’s smile widens as he pulls a baseball cap out of his back pocket and puts it on his head. “Well, hello there, sister.”
“Hi,” I squeak out, still taking in his beauty.
Major and Gunnar talk for a few minutes, both ignoring me, before Gunnar lifts his chin and says, “I gotta hit the road.”
“Are you still coming back this weekend?” Major asks, giving my waist a tight squeeze.
“That’s the plan,” Gunnar replies, waving to Tucker and walking over to his truck. “See y’all soon.”
We watch as his truck starts down the drive, my head leaning against Major’s chest. I can’t believe I just met Gunnar for the first time, and all I said was hi. He must think I’m a complete idiot. Only the fact that Hadley is shy as hell around guys, so I know she didn’t react much better, keeps me from dying of shame.
“How’d the interview go?” Major asks, placing a kiss on the top of my head.
“You are looking at the newest employee of the Dairy Dip. I start tomorrow morning,” I say, smiling up at him. “It’s just part-time, but it’s a job.”
“That’s great, baby. I’m proud of you, Tanya, really I am,” he says, lowering his hands to just below my waist and picking me up off the ground.
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I hold on for dear life. “What are you doing?”
His hand connects with my ass, giving it a swift slap. “I’m gonna take you in the barn, and we’re gonna celebrate your new job.”
I don’t have time to respond before we enter the dimly lit barn. Major doesn’t stop until he has passed all of the stalls and walks into the tack room. Kicking the door shut behind him, he sets me down on top of the wooden work table. I take a quick glance around me. I’ve been in the barn plenty of times, but never in this room. The room is covered from wall to wall with horse supplies. There are bridles, harnesses, saddle blankets, saddles, and even bags of what I assume is some sort of feed.
My perusal is interrupted by Major’s voice. “I have been thinking about sinking my dick in your warm pussy ever since I left you sleeping in bed this morning.”
I can tell by the look on his face and the bulge in his pants that this is not going to be a soft and easy lovemaking. Hell, no. He wants to fuck, and he wants to fuck hard. Just the thought of him taking me roughly has my clit throbbing.
“Sounds like fun to me,” I say, reaching down and grabbing the bottom of my shirt.
I pull it over my head, laying it on the table beside me. I carefully kick off my shoes, letting them land on the floor and reach around to unhook my bra. By the time I’m sitting in nothing but my shorts, Major’s shirt is gone and his pants are unbuttoned.
I lift my ass just enough to pull off my shorts. My panties follow them quickly. Then, my eyes go to Major’s. His heated gaze is locked on mine, taking in every inch of my naked skin. I have no idea where I get the courage, but I spread my legs and run my finger through my slit. Making sure to cover it in my juices, I bring it to my lips and lick off my essence.
He lets out a growl and pulls down his zipper. “Do you taste good, baby?”
“Uh huh, I do.” I moan, slowly pulling my finger from my mouth. “Not nearly as good as you, though.”
He comes to me, picking me up off the table, and carries me across the room to the saddle horse. Bending me over it, he slaps my ass and runs his hand over the stinging flesh. He does it twice more, causing me to let out a moan.
Peeking over my shoulder at him, I watch as he pulls out his thick cock. “I need you inside me, Major.”
“Eyes straight ahead or you’ll never get what you want,” he states, slapping my ass again with such force that I gasp.
I do as I’m told, turning my head forward. I can hear him walking away for a second, but his heat is at my back a second later. His hands come to my face, wrapping something soft around my eyes. I’m immediately surrounded by darkness.
He reaches his hand down to my chin and pulls my head back. “This is not about seeing; it’s about feeling.”
His lips are on mine in an instant, brutally taking my mouth. By the time he pulls back, I’m breathless and desperate for his cock. His hand leaves my chin and runs down my bare back. Finally reaching my hip, he gives it a tight squeeze before sending another punishing slap to the already stinging skin on my ass.
A second later, I feel the hardness of his cock pressed up against my back as he plasters his chest to my back. He caresses my ass, finally working his way between my cheeks. He circles my opening, the one he hasn’t taken yet, before sliding two fingers deep into my pussy.
Without being able to see anything, my other senses are heightened. His touch seems harsher, more penetrating. His intoxicating scent is stronger, more intense. Even the sound of his breathing is turning me on. I’m ready to orgasm with nothing more than his fingers.
“Yes, please.” I beg, not knowing exactly what I want.
Suddenly, his hand is gone, replaced by his cock. He fills me completely with one hard thrust. Tilting my hips, I try to take him deeper, needing even more of him. He pounds into me relentlessly, gliding in and out without saying a word. It only takes a minute before my pussy starts to convulse and I am screaming out his name.
“That’s what I want, baby,” he He growls, not slowing his strokes. “Let your greedy pussy milk my cock.”
He reaches around my hip, pinching down on my pussy. My orgasm soars even higher, leaving me unable to do more than moan. Stroking into me, he strokes hard time and time again. Just as I scream his name again, reaching my peak again, Major goes deep and holds. He buries his face into my hair and groans out his own release.
A second later, a loud banging fills the room followed quickly by the sound of Tucker’s voice. “Just thought y’all might want to know, Tanya’s mom is heading this way.”
“Thank you, brother.” Major chuckles placing a kiss on my shoulder before pulling the material from my eyes. Blinking a few times, I adjust my eyes from darkness to light. “Better get dressed, baby.”
When he lets go, I nearly fall on my ass. Only his quick reflexes keep me off the ground. He just smiles, not saying a word. He continues to hold me until my legs finally start working again. We both dress quickly, just finishing up as Mom calls out my name.
“I’m coming,” I holler back.
Major pulls me into his arms and places another kiss on my lips. “No baby, you already came.”
