The men not on patrol were used as guards for the supply wagons which met each patrol after it had been out for 7 days. This resulted in a steady flow...of wagons and men across the ranch which also served to discourage cattle rustling. The men were kept busy with all this activity, plus the extra duty of occasionally guarding the wagon trains bringing in supplies for the general store in Lincoln. Cletus looked forward to a very busy winter season.Ramon Velásquez was one of Cletus' more. He was going to ask me if I wanted to close, but I don’t know why he was beating around the bush like this, or why he’d just told me I was beautiful, but about that, I wasn’t complaining. On a normal day, I would have appreciated the small talk, but I was so tired I didn’t really want to mess with it. “Can I close tonight?” I asked suddenly. I know I caught him off guard, because he paused before saying okay. “You can chill up here with me if you want, I’d really enjoy the company,” he said,. “Fuck!”I giggled as he franticly jabbed at the front panel. “Oh, let it play!” I teased him, adding, “What’s the matter, scared you’ll get a boner?”“Yeah, right,” he said, as the tape ejected.If he only knew, I thought to myself, how many times I’ve snuck into his room and jerked off to his private collection when he’s not around!He took another tape from the box, slipped off the cover, and flipped it over several times before inserting it. He rapidly hugged himself against the cold as he came. "First, I hope you don't mind my saying this in front of Ann. She is no longer an outsider, but a... how can I put it? She is a member of our family now."He held up his hand to silence Kathy's protest, and continued. "I think, and I really believe this... that with your mother and I..." he paused, trying to formulate the words correctly, knowing their importance to everyone involved."I think that when Ann joined us... you know, sexually; that you felt we were rejecting you. That's not true. I.
