Merle smirked as he trotted Drake around the paddock.

"keep ya mind outta the gutter!"

It had been 3 weeks since the wedding, and each day Merle had worked with Drake, getting him used to humans again, used to being ridden. But Drake's mind was elsewhere, or more accurately, the next paddock over.

Penny was going into season, and the hormones the mare was giving off were distracting the stallion. Drake was consistently directing himself towards Penny, and generally being rather pig headed. But Merle couldn't hold it against the stallion, Merle himself was getting distracted as the mare's owner walked up.

Beth raised an eyebrow as Merle had to pull Drake away from the fence again.

"somebody's a bit distracted today."

Merle chuckled as he walked Drake up to beside the fence. "blame that on the missus."

Beth smirked as she picked up Penny's tack. "that's not what you said last night."

Merle snorted as Beth walked into the other paddock, Penny trotting up beside her. Penny was a very agreeable horse, and always eager to ride. Beth tacked Penny up before she climbed on.

Merle eyed Beth as she trotted Penny around the paddock a few times, before leading her out the gate.

"where ya headed?"

Beth smirked as she turned Penny around. "that's for you to find out."

Beth spurred Penny on, taking off in a gallop across the land behind the rows of homes.

Merle swore as Drake bucked slightly, stamping his feet in aggravation as his mare disappeared from view. Merle tried for a few moments to get Drake under control, before shrugging and giving the stallion his head.

Drake flew over the fence, galloping off after Penny and Beth. Merle held tightly, reminded very quickly he was missing one hand. Drake made quick time, easily catching up to the mare and her blonde rider. Beth smirked at Merle as she pulled Penny off onto what had been the golf course. The land was being re purposed in other areas, but the crews hadn't reached this part yet, and the horses flew over the even ground. Drake and Penny whinnied to each other as Merle pushed Drake on ahead. He smirked back at Beth, just as she turned Penny again. Merle swore as he sharply turned Drake.

"Damn woman, she's got more guts then she needs!"

Beth lead Penny down along the back lake. Off the three lakes on the compound, this was the biggest and least accessible. It had been stocked by the previous tenants with fish, and the water was clean and bright. Beth took Penny down along the lake shore, ducking and weaving amongst the trees where Merle and Drake were just too big to follow, being forced to go around.

Merle suddenly pulled Drake to a stop as he came thru a clearing, seeing Beth and Penny standing on the opposite side. Beth smirked as she lead Penny up beside Drake, the stallion eagerly sniffing the mare.

"you know for two old guys you're pretty fast."

Merle smirked at Beth as she got off of Penny, leading the mare to the water. "old guys? I'll have ya know I have sexy young wife who thinks I'm pretty damn hot."

Beth snorted. "your wife sounds interesting."

Merle chuckled. "that she is sugar, that she is."

Beth bit her lip as she tried not to laugh. She glanced back at Merle before she leaned over away from Merle, pretending to tie her shoe. Sneaking a glance back at Merle she smirked as he openly stared before climbing off of Drake. Beth busied herself fiddling with her shoe before a thick arm grabbed her and pulled her back. Beth moaned as Merle nipped at her neck, sucking on the sensitive skin.

"Wait," breathed Beth. "Get the saddles off in case they try to roll." Merle grumbled as Beth pulled away and tied the mare to a tree. Merle was struggling with Drake as the stallion pranced around in a circle snorting. The stallion was rolling his eyes and white foam was splattered on his flanks from the run. Drake's ears were perked up and he called loudly to Penny, fearful that Merle would ride him away. "Get yer head outta yer ass!" growled Merle as the stallion pranced around him. "Don't tie him Merle," called Beth as she finished with Penny and laid the saddle blanket on the ground. "He won't leave her."

Merle grunted in frustration as he pulled the saddle and bridle off of Drake, who promptly trotted to Penny and sniffed her tail. Penny squealed loudly and kicked at him, switching her tail sharply in Drake's face. "Take the hint," Merle called as Penny shot Drake the hairy eyeball. Beth looked at Merle and laughed. The foam from Drake's mouth was green from grazing and now a small river of it was dripping its way down the front of Merle's wife beater. Merle looked at his shirt and swore, making Beth laugh harder. He looked up and squinted at her. "You think that's funny little girl?" he rasped and she covered her mouth trying not to laugh. He pulled his shirt off as he approached her, tossing it off to the side. She was sitting on the saddle blanket barefooted, her straight arms propping her up. He worked his belt open. "I got a punishment fer that."

Beth smiled and bit her lip as the rest of his clothes came off and he stood in front of her. "I think I can make it up to you," she said softly as she rose to her knees and grasped him in her hand. She leaned in and gently took the head of his cock into her mouth, softly sucking him as she tilted her head. She was still learning how to handle her man and was overly careful not to hurt him. "Jesus," muttered Merle as he gritted his teeth, watching her mouth move over the head carefully. He fought himself not to thrust, the restraint making him break out into a sweat. She peeked up to see her staring down at him and took a big breath. She closed her eyes and tried to move her mouth down his shaft, forcing herself to relax so she could get him down her throat. He seemed to love it so much that she was determined to be good at it.

She got about halfway down before she gagged and she fought the urge to pull back. He knew he could spook her if he put his hand on the back of her head so he put it on her shoulder instead, softly caressing it with his thumb. Tears sprang to her eyes and she took another deep breath, trying again and was able to go a bit further this time. She focused on how much he loved this and she willed her shoulders and neck to relax. She hadn't realized how tense she had been. Once she relaxed she was able to take almost all of him and she ran her hands up his thighs and caressed his ass. I love him so much she thought.

Merle's hips started gently thrusting and he looked up into the tree branches above him to focus. "Fuck," he said. "Get yer clothes off." Beth released him and he stroked her hair. "Can't hold it no more," he rumbled. "Wanna be in ya." She smiled and took off her clothes, leaning back on the saddle blanket. Her ponytail had pulled loose and the sun was golden in her hair. Her legs were slightly spread to reveal the pink slit behind the soft golden curls. He was on her in a second and she laughed. He chuckled and rubbed the front of his body on hers, pausing to suck her upturned nipples into points and stroking her thighs to open them "Love them perfect little titties," he said appreciatively as she sighed underneath him. He parted her then entered and groaned with her tightness. Beth smiled and ran her hands up his arms then to the back of his neck, tangling her fingers in his short brown curls and pulling him down to kiss her.

Merle's tongue worked her mouth as he thrust into her. She loved the feeling of him inside her, loved that he had a difficult time controlling himself with her, he had never had a virgin before and the combination of her unwavering trust and her tightness made him come undone every time. He felt himself tightening and dropped his head to her neck. "Gonna cum," he grunted as he increased his rhythm. Beth experimentally moved her hips with his then reached around to stroke his balls, something she had never done before. Merle groaned loudly and in a strangled voice yelled, "FUCK!" as he froze deep inside of her. She felt him shudder as he pressed into the top of her, his ass muscles contracting as he shot his load deep into her. Her mouth dropped open slightly, the intensity of his climax never failed to amaze her. She stroked his back as he thrust a few more times, panting with the exertion.

Beth closed her eyes and relaxed under him. She felt close to God whenever she gave herself to her husband and her lips curled into a smile. Merle rolled off of her and threw his arms above his head to cool off. Within seconds he was snoring. Beth smiled. Carol said that it was the same with Daryl. It must be a Dixon thing or just a man thing thought Beth.

Beth relaxed for a while until she got cold, then she rolled into Merle and snuggled into his side. He woke up with a jerk of his shoulders then looked down at her. "How long I been sleepin'?" he slurred. She wrapped her arm around his stomach and said, "About twenty minutes." Merle's head dropped back down onto the blanket. "Left the job half finished," he griped. She was about to reply when a loud outraged squeal split the air. Drake's neck was arched and he stood next to Penny with his head down, nuzzling her muzzle and breathing deeply. He stamped and they exchanged more breaths and both squealed excitedly. It sounded like a freight train colliding with a semi.

Drake tossed his head and his penis dropped out of it sheath. As he sniffed Penny's flanks it stiffened and began to bounce off of his stomach as he moved. The knobby black head swelled and began to drip. Suddenly Penny lifted her tail and lowered her haunches and Drake mounted her, thrusting deep inside her as she trembled. Drake thrust violently about six times then stiffened gave one last deep thrust. His head dropped to her shoulder and they stood for a moment as his softened penis slipped out of her followed by a dribble of semen. Penny looked around her with interest and Drake stood with his head down, clearly exhausted. The whole thing had taken less than a minute.

Merle was disgusted. "That's it? That's ya game, boy?" he yelled across the glade. Instead of reacting Drake cocked his back leg in relaxation and his eyes drooped shut. Penny started grazing and sneezed when she came across a dandelion. "Dint even take care a his woman," Merle grumbled. Beth laughed and said, "Merle!" Merle pulled her closer into his chest. "Need ta teach that boy some etiquette," he groused. Beth rose on one elbow and said, "Merle, he can't!" Merle looked at her quizzically. "Sure he can Sugar, he just gotta slow down and warm 'er up a little," he smiled. Beth shook her head. "Most female animals can't orgasm," she said. "Horses, dogs, cats, well lots of animals – only the male gets pleasure."

"No shit?" asked Merle, eyebrows raised. "Then what the fuck she get outta it?" Beth shrugged. "She eventually gets a baby but she doesn't connect the two events. Instinct and hormones makes her hold still for the male, she doesn't do it for enjoyment. In fact I broke her hymen myself when she first went into heat so that it wouldn't hurt when they finally did it. I didn't want her to be jumpy the next time." Merle looked back and forth at the two horses then dropped his head on the blanket. His hand moved down to caress Beth's ass and she snuggled her face into his neck. "So humans is the only ones that fuck cause they both like it?" he mused. She glanced up at him and she smiled and nodded.

Merle sat up and regarded his beautiful wife laying peacefully on the blanket. He leered like an alligator and moved on top of her, kissing her until she was breathless then moving his head to her breasts and finally to bury his face into her soft pubic hair. Beth's heart hammered and she pushed him further down with her hands, they had determined early on that this was the surefire way to bring her to her pleasure. She shook as his tongue probed her, and when his finger slid in to touch of the top of her she breathed, "Oh Merle!"

Merle chuckled as he picked Beth's shirt off of a low hanging tree branch. "God damn woman how the fuck did that get over here?!"

Beth giggled as she caught the shirt. "I'm not sure, but your shirt fell in the lake."

Merle laughed as he fished his soaked shirt out of the water. "Buck is gonna kick my ass for this."

Beth raised an eyebrow as she sat up and dressed. "What do you mean?"

Merle smirked as he ran his eyes up and down Beth.

"lets put it this way, my dad don't want to see either of his sons gettin' it on. The barn, the truck, any place Buck could happen to see us, off limits."

Beth laughed as she stood up. "so what was that the other night in the barn?"

Merle chuckled as he pulled Beth into his chest. "that was me breakin' the rules. Its what I do."

Beth smirked as she leaned back against Merle. "well, what are you going to say when he catches you with out a shirt on? And scratches down your back?"

Merle thought for a moment before he shrugged. "try ta sneak past him I suppose."

Beth snorted as she walked up to Penny. "that'll work."

Daryl gave a low whistle as he leaned into the kitchen. "damn woman I ain't seen that on ya before."

Carol smiled as she rinsed a dish off. "when we got the wedding dresses, Beth and I picked up a few other things."

Daryl moaned as he came up behind Carol running his hands up her thighs to underneath her new light blue thigh length sundress. Carol smirked as she leaned back.

"in the kitchen?"

Daryl growled as he spun Carol around, setting her on the counter. "i can't wait any longer."

"Damn did ya have ta rip the buttons off?"

Carol smirked as she took Daryl's shirt from him as she sat on the counter. "i can fix it."

Daryl mock glared at Carol as he pulled his jeans up. "ain't the point woman."

Carol laughed but before she could respond they heard the front door open. Daryl and Carol glanced at each other worriedly, Daryl quickly tucking himself back in his jeans but before he could zip up, the kitchen door opened. And Buck walked in.

Buck looked at Carol who quickly jumped off the counter as Daryl zipped up. Buck looked back and forth between the two of them, before growling as he put his hands on his hips.

Buck glared at Daryl. "What the fuck did I tell ya?!"

Daryl opened his mouth to speak before he was interrupted as Merle and Beth came thru the door. Beth took one look between Daryl and Carol who was smoothing down her hair and Buck who was standing with his hands on his hips. Beth glanced at Merle before she grabbed Carol, spouting some excuse for escape from the room.

Buck looked between Daryl and Merle, both standing without their shirts, both with scratches visible and both looking rather proud of themselves.

Buck growled. "are ya fuckin' kiddin' me?!"

Daryl at least had the decency to blush, where as Merle smirked as he threw his hand up.

"we were out by the lake! Ya weren't even around!"

Buck shook his head. "i said I don't give a damn as long as its behind closed doors! That ain't!"

Daryl chuckled. "Technically the door was closed."

Buck fumed as he glared at Daryl. "The kitchen door! For fuck's sack we eat here!"

Merle smacked Daryl on the back. "doin' it in the kitchen!"

Buck growled as he looked to Merle. "and you! What if a kid had seen ya?!"

Merle thought for a moment before smirking. "in my defense, the horses were doin' it at the same time, the little kiddies would have had their eyes on that instead."

Buck threw up his hands and stomped out of the kitchen. "god damn what the hell is in the water around here!?"
