The inspiration for this story began with the September 2016 Pinecone Challenge — \u201cShe shivers in the wind like the last leaf on a dying tree.\u201d — which doesn’t allow R works. \u00a0 And by the time I finished my second draft for the Ranch House R challenge, my muse revealed a tie to one of the episodes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lessons in the Art of Negotiations\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Prologue<\/strong><\/em>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe shivers in the wind like the last leaf on a dying tree,\u201d Joe read, his eyes moving rapidly back and forth across the page.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd just who might you be talking about, Shortshanks?\u201d Hoss stepped to the deck, pausing behind Joe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hastily answering, “No one!”\u00a0 Mortified that he had spoken out loud, he turned a few pages in his book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reaching over his brother\u2019s shoulder, Hoss snatched the book, pulling out the pamphlet his little brother was attempting to hide. \u201cThought as much.\u201d Holding the pages high, he began to walk to the barn.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGive that back!\u201d Joe jumped up, launching himself to retrieve his possessions. Storming into the house and slamming the door behind him, he slipped the pamphlet back into the book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unable to stop himself, Hoss laughed his way across the yard. \u201cHey Adam?\u201d He turned serious.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJust\u2026 a\u2026 minute,\u201d a loud thud followed Adam\u2019s words. Bits of hay\u00a0rained between the wooden slats in the loft. \u201cYou finally come to help?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh, not really,\u201d Hoss looked out the open double doors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot really, then why are you in here interrupting me? You know Pa wants the last of this hay restacked to make room for what we\u2019re putting up next weekend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I know. But we got bigger problems.\u201d Looking up, Hoss climbed the ladder. Picking up two bales by their strings, he carried one in each hand over and handed them to Adam to place and stack along the far wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

“So, what’s the problem?\u201d Adam grunted as he positioned the hay.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou remember Miss Lilah Jean?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLilah Jean?\u201d Concentration creased his forehead. \u201cDon\u2019t remember any Lilah Jean. Where\u2019d you meet her?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe <\/em>didn\u2019t exactly \u2013 uh \u2013 meet her.\u201d Hoss tossed a bale of hay.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThen who is she?\u201d Adam faced his brother, hands on hips. His unbuttoned and untucked shirt revealed a sweat drenched chest .<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Joe.\u201d Hoss gulped, his face blushed as usual when thinking of the opposite sex.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThen Joe knows Lilah Jean?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh Adam, I sure hope not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pulling a bandana from his pocket, Adam sat down and wiped his brow. \u201cHoss, it\u2019s too hot and you\u2019re not making any sense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Plopping down next to his brother, he removed his hat and mimicked Adam.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou remember, it weren\u2019t long after you come home from college, and you found me out by Widder\u2019s Creek, fishing?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Smiling, Adam nodded at the memories. \u201cI seem to remember finding you there quite frequently. So, what about it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI weren\u2019t there fishing,\u201d Hoss whispered. \u201cAdam, Pa\u2019s had the talk<\/em> with Little Joe, ain\u2019t he?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning, the eldest Cartwright son stared at his brother, \u201cHe\u2019s\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeventeen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Shaking his head and pinching the bridge of his nose, \u201cYou\u2019re not suggesting\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAdam, I found him reading The Wild Adventures of Lilah Jean, <\/em>he was hidin\u2019 it in another book. \u00a0You gotta do somethin\u2019. \u00a0Either you do it, or so help me, one of them gals in Virginia City is gonna do it to him.\u00a0 You know they been lookin\u2019 ta pounce on him like a cougar on its prey.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPa\u2019s going to kill me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lessons in the Art of Negotiations<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Under a blanket of stars, Joe Cartwright lay stretched out, fingers interlaced, hands behind his head, dreams teasing of his time with Lilah May. \u00a0\u00a0On the other side of the fire, his eldest brother slept, his own dreams returning to the night before, and the arms and body of the one and only Minuet.<\/span><\/p>\n

*****<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben Cartwright had finally agreed with Adam that it would be a good idea for Little Joe to learn the fine art of negotiating a cattle contract, which would in turn eventually set well when it came time for him to understand the complexities of bidding on a lumber contract.\u00a0 Traveling to San Francisco, Joe accompanied his brother to the meetings and sat aside from the principles.\u00a0 After their suppers, while enjoying the atmosphere of the various restaurants, the brothers would discuss the issues Little Joe had jotted down in his notebook.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the days neared the end of the week, never had Joe imagined that their conversations would turn to that <\/em>subject, nor had he dreamed he would end up where they had.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once their father had declared Joe of age to enter a saloon, the two older brothers had enjoyed accompanying their youngest on numerous occasions.\u00a0 But never did they venture upstairs when Joe was with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

After their middle brother\u2019s urging, Adam decided to take his youngest brother to visit a Gentlemen\u2019s Club and to introduce him to the world of sexual pleasure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The evening air hung thick as the fog rolled in over the bay.\u00a0 Having enjoyed their meal in the hotel dining room, the brothers walked several blocks, neither in a hurry to reach their destination.\u00a0 Conversation bantered between the two as they\u00a0anticipated\u00a0taking in a show at one of the more upscale gentlemen clubs.\u00a0 Joe\u2019s excitement surged as they entered the establishment whose marquee sign bore the image of a scantily dressed nymph in a seductive pose.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRemember,\u201d Adam whispered to Little Joe while acknowledging the ma\u00eetre d\u2019 and holding up two fingers, \u201cNot one word.\u00a0 If Pa finds out he\u2019s going to kill me, and then I\u2019m going to kill you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Being shown to a table near the front of the stage, Adam ordered a round of beers and waited for the show to begin.\u00a0 When the lights dimmed, the curtains rose.\u00a0 Joe appreciated the colorful, snug-fitting, short-skirted costumes the dancers wore.\u00a0 His eyes widened at seeing their frilly unmentionables revealed when they kicked up their shapely legs as high as they could during their CanCan dance.\u00a0 Joe\u2019s mouth gaped open when the women began kicking backwards, their upper bodies leaning forward revealing pale mounds of jiggling flesh visible above their very low-cut necklines.<\/span><\/p>\n

*****<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the show, green-eyed, honey-blonde Lilah May presented the brothers with their next round of drinks.\u00a0 Smiling, she recognized the youngest’s discomfort,\u00a0evident by the slight sheen of perspiration beading his brow and his shifting in the chair.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Minuet told me they would be here tonight, said Adam wanted his little brother introduced to the finer arts.\u00a0 And I agreed.\u00a0 But he\u2019s just a boy on the cusp of manhood.\u2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

At twenty-one, Lilah May didn\u2019t think she was too old to introduce Joe to what went on upstairs.\u00a0 She wondered if she would be able to enjoy the night or would be relegated to the role of allowing a first timer to flounder with his inexperience.\u00a0 \u2018Oh well, hopefully I can teach him to be as good in bed as Minuet claims his brother is for her.\u2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Retreating to the bar, she noticed Adam eyeing\u00a0the brunette Minuet as she made her way across the room, to where the two Cartwrights enjoyed their beers. \u00a0His full attention focused on her hips slowly sashaying left and right.\u00a0 Lilah May waited to be beckoned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Appreciatively, Minuet smiled at Adam\u2019s choice of clothing, his new dark suit enhanced his personality.\u00a0 Wrapping an arm around his shoulders, she whispered, \u201cLooks like you could use some relaxation and a little pleasure.\u00a0 Maybe all three of us should head upstairs?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMinuet, you tease.\u00a0 You know I don\u2019t go for that.\u00a0 As I told you last I was in town, this is my little brother\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHello Joe.\u00a0 I hope you\u2019re enjoying your first visit to the Gilded Lily.\u201d Minuet addressed the younger brother whose only response was a nod.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam\u2019s thoughts returned to the conversation he\u2019d had with Hoss the previous month.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAdam, Pa\u2019s had the talk<\/strong> with Little Joe, ain\u2019t he?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>Hoss had said.\u00a0 \u201cAdam, I found him readin\u2019 The Wild Adventures of Lilah Jean<\/u>, he was hidin\u2019 it in another book. \u00a0You gotta do somethin\u2019. \u00a0Either you do it, or so help me, one of them gals in Virginia City is gonna do it to him.\u00a0 You know they been lookin\u2019 ta pounce on him like a cougar on its prey.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cPa\u2019s going to kill me.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Adam raised his mug to hide his grimace turned smile when Minuet shifted on his lap.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disappointed losing out on a night with both the brothers, Minuethe knew that Adam Cartwright would never leave her disappointed when he was in town, and in her bed.\u00a0 \u201cAs you asked, I\u2019ve already made arrangements with Lilah May.\u00a0 She\u2019ll teach the boy well.\u00a0 She served your beers tonight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe understands?\u201d Adam left the remainder\u00a0of his question unspoken.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nodding, Minuet answered, \u201cShe understands you\u2019d like for your little brother to become Big Joe.\u201d\u00a0 Sliding from Adam\u2019s lap she returned to the bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

*****<\/span><\/p>\n

Lilah May heard Minuet tell the bartender they would taking the two men upstairs for the rest of the night.\u00a0 She watched the two brothers leaning towards each other.\u00a0 The older man\u2019s hands fidgeted with the brim of the hat he\u2019d set to the side while the youth grabbed hold of his empty beer mug, eyes widened, his face hinted at a blush as he listened intently to what his brother had to say.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Adam removed his string tie, so did Joe.\u00a0 Together the two hostesses led the Cartwright brothers to the third floor, and to separate rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

*****<\/span><\/p>\n

In the first room, Adam tossed his hat to the settee where he and Minuet had enjoyed many spirited debates during his frequent visits to the town by the bay.\u00a0 On those nights, Adam arrived early and they proceeded directly to her room to await their private dinner.\u00a0 Having already eaten, Adam yearned for dessert. Reaching out, he pulled the madam close, his mouth covering hers, his tongue demanding entrance. \u00a0Holding her close with one of his hands holding both of her wrists behind her back, his other hand deftly worked the buttons down the front of her green satin gown.\u00a0 Adam slipped the garment past her shoulders, and released her arms so she could shimmy it past her hips.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis doesn\u2019t do you justice.\u201d Turning her, Adam began to work the strings up the back of her corset to remove the offending piece of clothing.\u00a0 Moments later, it joined the gown puddled on the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

At five foot, eight, Minuet squared her shoulders before leaning back into Adam\u2019s chest.\u00a0 Her movement accentuated the fullness of her breasts pushing into the sheer fabric of her camisole; the material did little to hide the rose-colored\u00a0centers that heaved up with each breath.\u00a0 Striding to stand in front of Minuet, quick fingers untied the camisole.\u00a0 Pushing it open, he appreciatively viewed her luscious orbs, the first course of his dessert.\u00a0 Hands lifted and pressed into her flesh, a crisp cry escaped her lips when Adam tweaked her nipples.\u00a0 From her depths she moaned when Adam took possession of one breast in his mouth, in time he gave the same attention to its companion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recognizing that he stood fully clothed, Adam stepped back, allowing Minuet\u2019s hands to diligently unfasten the buttons of his jacket and shirt.\u00a0 Moments later, nimble fingers toyed with the hair on his chest, lips and tongue played over his nipples, while her hands slipped lower, to unfasten his trousers, pushing them from his hips, while he slipped out of his dress shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eyes drawn to his firm and protruding manhood, Minuet mused, \u201cWhen the good Lord said, spring forth and multiply, don’t think this is the spring forth He had in mind.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Leading her to the bed set at an angle in the corner, Adam lifter her up, placing her softly on the tall piece of furniture. \u00a0The swaying of her heavy breasts drew Adam to give each one a lingering kiss before he turned his attention to Minuet\u2019s legs. \u00a0Unfastening the garters holding her fish-net stockings in place, Adam slipped the articles from her well-formed legs.\u00a0 Next came the removal of her slip, granting him full access to admire and appease her body.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the owner and the<\/em> madam, Minuet chose who she took upstairs.\u00a0 Rarely did any man accompany her, not since the first time she\u00a0introduced\u00a0herself to the rancher, turned lover.<\/span><\/p>\n

An hour later, their sexual desires satisfied, Adam lay with his eyes closed, his arm behind the beauty who equaled his passion.\u00a0 He was thankful for the light breeze flowing through the windows, which wicked the sweat away from their bodies.\u00a0 His hand roved from her shoulder to her firm buttocks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without any blankets or sheets covering the two, Minuet cast her eyes along his body; his hair-covered well-muscled chest, the firm abdomen, and his crowning glory that drove her orgasm to heights rivaled by no other, never ceased to amaze her.\u00a0 Slightly stroking his shaft, she watched as it rose to the occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n

*****<\/span><\/p>\n

Down the hall, Lilah May invited Joseph Cartwright into her richly appointed room.\u00a0 A hurricane lantern on the bedside table illuminated the furnishings within.\u00a0 A gentle wind slowly billowed the curtain inward.\u00a0 Closing the door, she motioned the young man to the settee while she slipped behind the room partition in the corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy name\u2019s Little\u2026 uh\u2026 Joe Cartwright.\u201d\u00a0 He nervously twirled his hat before setting it down.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Lilah May.\u00a0 Help yourself to a drink.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be right out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not thirsty, ma\u2019am.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Stepping from behind the divider, \u201cI\u2019m not a ma\u2019am.\u00a0 As I said, I\u2019m Lilah May.\u201d\u00a0 Circling Joe, draping her hand across his shoulders, it came to rest on his chest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know my Pa wouldn\u2019t\u2026\u201d\u00a0 Ducking his head, his cheeks flamed at seeing what her robe did not conceal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYour Pa isn\u2019t here.\u00a0 It\u2019s just the two of us.\u00a0 A woman and a man.\u00a0 Alone, together.\u201d\u00a0 Turning down the lamp to where it cast soft glows, she returned to stand in front of Joe.\u00a0 \u201cI think you need to be more comfortable, and to do that, you need to get rid of some of this clothing.\u201d\u00a0 She worked the buttons of his jacket free from their slips before doing the same with his shirt, then pulling the shirt tail from his pants.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m\u2026 uh\u2026 not sure you should be\u2026\u201d Joe attempted to restrain her hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHush,\u201d Lilah May whispered, \u201cLet me do what I\u2019ve been paid to do.\u00a0 You do want to be here?\u201d\u00a0 At his nod, her hands pushed his shirt and jacket from his shoulders before running delicate fingers across the youthfully smooth, yet well-muscled chest.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s okay to touch.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know\u2026\u00a0 I\u2019ve never,\u201d Joe\u2019s blush deepened when hands pressed against his bulging crotch. He\u2019d occasionally experienced the bulge in his pants whenever one of the saloon girls back home would sidle close to him, allowing him a generous peek down her cleavage, but never had any of them dared touch him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s not the type to ram that into a woman; he\u2019ll be sensitive.\u2019\u00a0 <\/em>\u201cIt\u2019s about time you learned what happens between a man and a woman.\u201d\u00a0 Taking his hands, in hers, \u201cWhen done right, making love is\u00a0exceedingly gratifying for both parties.\u201d She placed his hands on her still covered breasts, increasing the pressure, teaching him the intricacies of pleasing a woman.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s not like breeding your cattle and horses back on the ranch.\u00a0 Both parties can experience the pleasures.\u00a0 I\u2019m yours to explore and to teach you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When her hands let go of his, he tentatively pushed open her robe, slipped it past her shoulders, where she allowed it to hang from the tie around her waist.\u00a0 Standing still, she waited as Joe\u2019s attention focused on her perfectly developed breasts, their pink areolas and nipples. \u00a0Unable to resist the impulse, Joe took the weight of her flesh into the palms of his hands and watched their undulations as he tenderly kneaded them like Hop Sing would dough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Capturing her nipples between his thumbs and forefingers, Joe licked his lips as his mouth began to water. Remembering the book he\u2019d tried to secretly read back home, Joe moved his hands to her derriere and lifted her, Lilah May\u2019s legs automatically circled around as he carried her to the canopy bed set in the middle of the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eying her lying there, one hand running between the valley of her exposed breasts, the other motioned the young man to come to her, her index finger curling in and out.\u00a0 \u201cCome to me, I promise I won\u2019t bite, at least not that hard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hurriedly, Joe toed off his boots giving Lilah May time to slip further from her robe and cast it aside.\u00a0 As he shucked down his pants, her core jolted at the fact he wore no manly unmentionables, his erection revealed sooner than she expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou must have known what was in store for tonight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking up while shaking his head, \u201cSort of.\u00a0 But the only time I wear them is during the winter. Otherwise, they\u2019re downright uncomfortable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we can\u2019t have you uncomfortable now, can we?\u201d Admiration glowed in Lilah May\u2019s eyes at the image standing in her room. \u00a0Joe\u2019s nakedness didn\u2019t reduce him to a simpering fool like so many young men on their first visit to a madam\u2019s bedroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo ma\u2019a\u2026 Lilah May.\u00a0 Like you said, I should\u00a0be comfortable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Crawling onto the bed and lying between the shapely legs of her lithe body, Joe eyed the provocative orbs before he felt her hand behind his head, pulling him closer to the breast she held in her other, guiding his mouth to the pert tip.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYour next lesson is to take me.\u00a0 Suckle me like a baby suckles at its mother\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tentative lips took hold before he obeyed her request.\u00a0 He\u2019d never seen a woman nurse an infant, and it had been ages since he\u2019d been a baby held at his own mother\u2019s breast, but he could envision the concept.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAhhhhh.\u00a0 Like a baby; however, you\u2019re a man.\u00a0 Take more.\u00a0 Be bolder.\u201d Lilah May gasped. \u00a0Using her elbows, she pushed upward, relishing more of her flesh taken.\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cThat\u2019s it.\u201d\u00a0 Nothing regarding his inexperience prepared her when Joe took the initiative, his tongue played over and around one nipple and alternated between the two; pressing his face into her flesh before retreating, never letting loose of his prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moments later, heat pulsed on the inner side of her left breast, Joe drew long and hard.\u00a0 She knew by the end of the night she would bear the dark-red mark of a love bite.\u00a0 His eagerness prompted her to wonder if he\u2019d ever done so with any of the girls back home.\u00a0 Her thought was momentarily forgotten as he chose to lavish her other breast.\u00a0 Moaning encouragement and appreciation, \u2019No, those girls have no idea what they\u2019re missing.\u2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Lilah May knew it was time to progress the lesson by taking Joe\u2019s manhood in hand.\u00a0 Her fingers began their purposeful meandering along his tender skin, the firm shaft that was the key to revealing all the possibilities and sins of the flesh to this young man.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe gasped at the first tingling sensation, groaned\u00a0as her ministration turned to fire streaking up and down his manhood.\u00a0 Flinging back his head, \u201cOh my God!\u201d\u00a0 He couldn\u2019t prevent the exclamation as her hand took a strong hold of his throbbing member.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt only gets better,\u201d Lilah whispered.\u00a0 Pushing him to his back, looking deep into his eyes, \u201cAre you ready?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Nodding, Joe\u2019s curiosity increased when she said, \u201cIf you can, try to hold it,\u201d as she slipped lower along his body and sat between his legs. \u00a0Lilah May ran her tongue up and down the length of his shaft before circling around its circumference.\u00a0 Smiling at the incredulous expression on his face as he rose up on his elbows to watch.\u00a0 Lilah May took just the crown of his shaft into her mouth, licking moisture from its center that leaked from within.\u00a0 She knew she had\u00a0startled him, but when he didn\u2019t object and his organ increased even more, she knew that he wanted to experience it all.\u00a0 Holding onto his hips, she took as much of him into her mouth as she could.<\/span><\/p>\n

Falling back to the bed, \u201cOH GOD!\u201d Joe gasped, his hips bucked in rhythm to her movements, his breath ragged, his stimulated body responded by further engorging his erection.\u00a0 Barely remembering her words from before, but knowing he couldn\u2019t do as she bid, \u201cI can\u2019t\u2026 hold\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mourning her absence and suffering the cooling of his organ, Joe whimpered, his body plead for more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Minutes passed before Joe was able to breathe normally.\u00a0 Looking into Lilah May\u2019s deep blue eyes, \u201cI\u2026\u201d\u00a0 Running his fingers through his hair, \u201cCan a woman experience such pleasure?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lilah May felt a pang of longing.\u00a0 Knowing she only had him for the night, his compassion towards his partner made her jealous for what would never truly be hers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes. If she is adventurous enough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAre you that adventurous?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Purring, \u201cYou know that I am.\u00a0 The question is, are you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow?\u00a0 What do I do?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lying on her back, Lilah May inquired, \u201cHave you ever seen a woman totally naked?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Shaking his head, \u201cThis is the first time I\u2019ve ever seen this much of you\u2026.\u201d Nodding to her upper body, \u201cany woman.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never even sneaked a peek down at the lake, well\u2026. I\u2019ve tried, but the girls.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll need to untie and remove my pantaloons, and then I\u2019ll introduce you to the world of a woman\u2019s erotic fantasies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After tugging the ends of the tied string, Joe separated the edges of the garment, revealing her flat abdomen.\u00a0 Widening the opening he saw the beginning of her nether-region.\u00a0 Slipping the garment past her hips, Lilah May was pleased when he teasingly pulled the pantaloons slowly past her knees, ankles, and toes.\u00a0 Unable to turn away from the view before him, Joe watched her knees part, granting him access to her womanhood from where he sat between her ankles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lilah May thought on how many first timers either could not look at her unclothed body, and were quick to jump under the covers or they leered in anticipation like some bull in rut, slam, bam, thank you ma\u2019am and were gone.\u00a0 But the look in Joe\u2019s eyes spoke of his admiration for the exquisiteness of a woman in her natural God-gifted form.<\/span><\/p>\n

Curiously, he watched her hand move lower, before inserting a finger into the center of the folds of her skin, rubbing herself faster and harder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Breathily, \u201cThis is the beginning, Joe.\u00a0 This is the beginning of a woman\u2019s pleasure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Inquisitively, Joe moved her hand aside.\u00a0 Toying with the nub he found, he watched Lilah May\u2019s legs widen even father, her hips rose.\u00a0 Finding her entrance, he inserted a finger far enough to feel her moistness as her insides closed around him.\u00a0 Slipping in a second finger, he moved the two in and out.\u00a0 Her hands guided his to the tempo and pressure needed to produce a gratifying response.<\/span><\/p>\n

Growing bolder at her cries, he thought of Lilah\u2019s mouth encompassing him earlier.\u00a0\u00a0 Lifting and supporting her buttocks, he leaned forward, his tongue replaced his fingers.\u00a0 Thrusting his tongue in and out of her opening; Lilah May writhed in ecstasy when he latched onto and began suckling her nub, drawing as long and as hard as he had her breasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lilah lifted her hips higher, encouraging him deeper.\u00a0 \u201cOh, Joe,\u201d she gasped.\u00a0 Time meant nothing, flames burned inside her core, until she found herself unable to take any more, falling limp in his hands she shuddered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lowering her to the bed, Joe lay beside her, his hands roaming her body.<\/span><\/p>\n

*****<\/span><\/p>\n

Time passed with the two lying intertwined before Lilah May spoke once more, \u201cJoe, let me take you to where you\u2019ve never been before.\u00a0 Let me show you what it is for a man and a woman to make love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning Joe to his back, she straddled his thighs and reached for his manhood. \u00a0Working him until it stood full and erect, she slipped forward.\u00a0 Placing him at her opening, she encouraged, \u201cJust a little thrust, push,\u201d she relaxed to allow him to penetrate her.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAhhhhg,\u201d Joe whimpered, her warm and moist inner muscles contracted around him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPush up, again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Like an orchestra conductor, Lilah set the tempo to which Joe eagerly followed.\u00a0 Beginning with slow, long strokes before evolving to the more carnal rhythm that would produce the orgasms she knew beckoned to them both.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grabbing the bed sheets\u00a0on either side, Joe rose and fell at Lilah May\u2019s bidding. \u00a0No longer just a teacher and student, Lilah May and Joe experience the mind-numbing hunger-driven lure of sex.\u00a0 \u00a0Caught in an upward push, Joe paused, his balls tightened expelling the exquisite agony that he could no longer contain.\u00a0 Torn between two conflicting emotions; the want to stop the fulfilling pain yet desired to plunge deeper into the exotic rapture that drove him to continue his release.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lilah May felt his shaft pulsing deep inside as Joe let loose his seed, driving her own orgasm to a higher climax.<\/span><\/p>\n

*****<\/span><\/p>\n

With the sensual Lilah May laying at his side, Joe remembered back to his school days.\u00a0 At best he was a reluctant student.\u00a0 But the lessons he\u2019d just received electrified him as reading and geography never had.\u00a0 Even once he and his friends became old enough to understand their interest in the \u2018fairer sex\u2019 and had their \u2018school yard discussions\u2019 or all the times he\u2019d eavesdropped on the ranch hands, he\u2019d never heard of a woman enjoying their time with a man in such a manner.\u00a0 Well, Adam has said something earlier about the various pleasures enjoyed when a man and a woman make love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expert hands had guided him while her voice gave instruction, teaching him to become adept in how to read what she craved.\u00a0 And the geography of her body; fingers like tendrils hanging from the pines, feather-like yet strong.\u00a0 The valley between her luscious breasts.\u00a0 The voluptuous mounds rising from her chest, culminating in pert peaks.\u00a0 The flatland of her abdomen and her long legs that stretched wide like the cliffs of a box canyon, both leading him to the hidden cove of her succulent womanhood.\u00a0 The tilt of her pelvis, like a gentle slope easing his penetration.\u00a0 Her body was a work of art.<\/span><\/p>\n

But her actions.\u00a0 Never before had anyone spoken of what a woman could do to a man\u2019s body nor how he would respond.\u00a0 The fact that Lilah May had taken him into her mouth was something he gave serious thought to, wondering if he would ever find another woman as adventurous enough to thrill him in such a fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n

His previous na\u00efvety astounded him.\u00a0 Being raised on a cattle ranch, he thought he\u2019d knew all there was to sexual relations; a charming smile, the tip of a hat.\u00a0 Those were just signs of respect.\u00a0 He knew now to mirror his eldest brother and ignore those who bragged about their \u2018prowess\u2019 and \u2018conquests\u2019.\u00a0 He realized that most of what they had to say were probably embellishments on what happened or total fabrications.\u00a0 If a man truly understood intimacy, he’d never divulge what happened behind closed doors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding now, that Adam did not spend all his time in contract negotiations when he visited San Francisco, Little Joe wondered if he could convince their father to let him return under the guise of more negotiation tutelage or to actually negotiate a contract, with or without Adam.<\/span><\/p>\n

*****<\/span><\/p>\n

Lying on her side, her head propped up with her hand and elbow, she found perfection of youth in the naked young man at her side.\u00a0 She marveled at his body\u2019s response to her caressing hands, how comfortable he had been in his own nakedness, and rejoiced in how he ensured his partner enjoyed the experience just as much as he did.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf your older brother only knew, I don\u2019t think he\u2019d be calling you Little Joe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Eyes fluttered open, a naughty glint emanated from iridescent green eyes, \u201cMy brothers will always call me Little Joe.\u00a0 But thanks to you, the ladies never will.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mischievousness sparkled as Lilah May inquired, \u201cDo you think you\u2019re up to another round of lessons?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPa always said, practice makes perfect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Epilogue:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Adam and Hoss strolled away from where Sport, Cochise, and Chubs stood tethered.\u00a0 They paused when the door to the still rocking stagecoach opened, returning the youngest Cartwright to Virginia City.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEh! Eh, eh, eh,\u201d Hoss called.\u00a0 Lifting his little brother into a bear hug after he\u2019d stepped out of the coach and to the dirt street.<\/span><\/p>\n

Returned to the ground, Little Joe reached out to shake Adam\u2019s hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHey what they feed you up there in San Francisco anyhow, Little Joe?\u201d Hoss playful slapped Joe\u2019s stomach.\u00a0 \u201cTwo months and you\u2019re skinny as ever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA little uglier maybe, uh,\u201d Adam teased.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd little bit smarter.\u201d\u00a0 Bragging, \u201cI got five dollars more a head this year than you did last year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHey, you hear that Adam?\u00a0 I think this calls for a celebration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know I think it\u2019s time Joe took a look inside Julia\u2019s Palace.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI said a little celebration,\u201d teased Hoss.<\/span><\/p>\n

The impromptu celebration was forgotten when gunfire erupted down the street and a man staggered across the boardwalk, out from Julia\u2019s Palace.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

~The End<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS<\/strong>:\u00a0 Just how did you think Little Joe charmed Julia Bulette?\u00a0 I don\u2019t think it was just his boyishly good looks.\u00a0 Do you?<\/span><\/p>\n
