Becky said this caught her by surprise because I had very little interaction with Ashley. Needless to say this made my dick start to rise. I had notic...d that in the last couple of years Ashley had started to blossom. She was about 5'7" with long brown hair, nice "c" tits, and long athletic legs. She was always flirting with me by giving me hugs and sitting on my lap. Becky must have noticed me drifting to thoughts of Ashley and the growing bulge in my pants because she said, "You wouldn't fuck. Well, I'm glad ta see ya both. Mr. Ephram's payin' $25 and found fer a three-month cattle drive ta Abilene, Kansas. Once the cows are delivered, y'all are on yer own 'bout gittin' home."I got two spots open. One of them is working with the remuda (the remount horses for the cowboys), an' that's where I need ya, Hiram. Ya may be a scatterbrain, but ya gots a real knack with hosses. Ya'll be responsible fer 60-70 hosses, soz ya gonna have yer hands full. Kin ya do that, Hiram, and not screw up?. I was staying a local by attending the nearby state college. It was not considered our family’s college of choice but I did have several family members that had attended and I absolutely loved the town it was in. She was going to study business out of state. We both had great grades and test scores; we simply didn’t respect each other’s choice of schools. Well maybe it wasn’t a lack of respect but a difference in priorities. It is safe to say that being in college and that far from each other. Puffy from too much crying? Can he tell just by looking into them how fast her heart is beating now…..can he sense her eager anticipation? He cups her face in his hands and traces the outlines of her features slowly with his fingers…..fingers so gentle. With a look of sheer admiration and love on his face he mouths the words ‘I’ve missed you’. He gives her a gentle, yet loving smile and moves his face towards hers and places soft velvet kisses on her waiting lips. Long lost feelings stir up.
