Ennis wrapped his arms around Jack and kissed him, his hands roamed down Jack's back and cupped his ass and squeezed. He gripped him with desperation and he became so excited he was going at it like a bull out of a shoot.
Jack pulled away and caught his breath. "Whoa, cowboy, we ain't on the mountain no more. We don't have to measure our time in days. We ain't goin no where, this is it. We got plenty of time.
Ennis was trying to get his own breathing under control and reign in his body's arousal to his husband's warm body.
Jack's hands were on his shoulders "Slow, Ennis, let's take this nice and slow.
"Yeah, 'kay," Ennis grunted, struggling to control his breathing.
Jack pushed Ennis down onto the edge of the bed so he was sitting. Then he crawled up behind him on his knees and began massaging Ennis' neck and shoulders. Jack could feel Ennis relaxing against him he wrapped his arms around his chest and leaned his chin on Ennis' chest and looked at his husband. Ennis has his eyes closed, his mouth slightly agape and he sighed.
"Ya okay, sweetheart?"
"Yeah, I was remembering when Alma did this to me, put her arms around me and held me just like this. I'd close my eyes and imagine it was you, Jack, your arms around me." The wistful, yearning tone in Ennis' voice reminded Jack of the times he wanted him so badly. He reached out, put his hand on Ennis' face and gently turned his head so he was facing him. "Open your eyes, cowboy, these are my arms around ya. Yer not imaging this, it's real and I'm all yours, husband."
Ennis opened his eyes and looked at Jack and smiled at him. "Husband, I like the sound of that." He turned his body so that he was leaning his head on Jack's shoulder and reached up to pull Jack's down for a kiss that started off slow then deepened into a passionate kiss. Ennis' tongue dived into Jack's mouth on an exploration trip. Jack wrapped one arm around Ennis' back and his other hand held Ennis' head as his tongue took a turn inside his mouth.
Jack's arms encompassed Ennis' back, he folded into his body giving himself completely to Jack's care.
Jack gently laid Ennis onto his back his arms still supporting his head and back like he was the most precious thing in the world to him and he was. His lips softly claimed Ennis' again and his hand cupped his cheek, fingers traced the ubiquitous freckles and his hand moved to his neck. Then Jack leisurely traced his thumb over Ennis' Adam's apple, taking great interest in it's undulating movements as Ennis swallowed. Jack leaned over and kissed the rising protrusion.
Ennis tilted his head up and off to the side completely exposing his vulnerable throat to the loving assault Jack was inflicting. He needed no further prompting to take what was so freely being offered.
"Ennis I love you," he whispered in his ear, then he nibbled on his left ear lobe and his hand moved to his chest, his fingers dancing across the warm skin in adoration.
He softly kissed his way down Ennis' throat to his chest till he found a nipple and he grabbed hold with his mouth and teeth and sucked on the nub. Ennis' legs moved restlessly in response. Jack gave his nipple equal attention. Ennis' arms wrapped around his back. Jack looked up at Ennis and he laid his chest on Ennis' chest feeling his warm body pressed against his sent a tingling sensation that traveled all over his body and settled in his groin. Jack kissed Ennis, their lips softly touching. Ennis' hand cradled the back of Jack's head, his fingers burrowing through the thick layer of hair until the tips found the warm scalp and he began a massage that made Jack moan into Ennis' mouth. Ennis felt Jack's hand on his head, mirroring his touches. They were both moaning, Jack finally came up for air.
"Uh," Jack grunted, he sat back on his knees and took a few deep breaths, and Ennis watched him going through the motions. Then Jack straddled him, he leaned forward kissed him lightly on the lips and then closed his eyes. He placed his hands on his shoulders.
"Jack whattya doin," he asked curiously.
"Feeling you, I want to know every inch of ya husband." The palms of his hands were tracing his chest, slowly touching his nipples, then tracing a pattern to his ribs. He could feel the bones outline just under the thin belly. Jack placed kisses on the skin. "Yer too thin, Ennis," kiss "gotta get some," kiss "Meat on them bones a yers, cowboy." Kiss Jack continued his touching journey, he took a position between Ennis' legs focussing on his husband's strong hips. Leaned over his right thigh and kissed one hip then the other. Jack felt Ennis' cock poking him in the stomach. Jack avoided touching his groin and chose to focus on Ennis' legs and feet. Once he started the foot massage Ennis became like putty in his hands. "Jack, mmm," he mumbled.
"Ya want me ta stop, Ennis?" he kept moving his fingers into the souls of his feet.
"Naw, don't, ah, don't you dare darlin." Ennis never got a foot massage like this before. Alma hated touching his feet, although she didn't mind him giving her one. So he was enjoying every sensual moment.
"Turn over sweetheart, I wanna do yer back."
Ennis drowsily flopped over, he'd never felt so relaxed in his whole life.
Jack rubbed the back of his calves then the back of his knee, stopped to kiss that area which caused a big stir in Ennis' groin area. He straddled his back, reached over and grabbed some massage oil and rubbed it into his back, strong fingers pushing against the tense muscles on his man's back.
Jack was kneeling over Ennis and kissed his back, suddenly Ennis rolled onto his side and grabbed Jack by the arms and pulled him down to lay beside him. "My turn, rodeo," he said his eyes dark with passion. Ennis kissed his face and rubbed his nose against Jack's then nuzzled against his neck, nibbling at the skin, leaving little bite marks at the base of his neck. He was lying on his side, Jack looked up at him with such need in his eyes. Ennis kissed him again one arm around Jack's back and his other arm caressing Jack's chest admiring the well defined pectoral muscles his hand pushed his chest up slightly and he kissed his chest then the nipple.
"Hiss, Ennis," Jack turned his head to the side then Ennis kissed his throat, then captured Jack's mouth again. His other hand found Jack's stiff cock standing at attention and he covered it with his callused palm.
Ennis had moved to kneel beside Jack's hips. Jack grabbed the bottle of oil, he sat up and liberally squirted the oil into the palm of his hand and took Ennis' cock and rubbed oil all over the ridged member. Then Jack scooted forward and wrapped his legs around Ennis waist. Ennis leaned forward until his cock was positioned right at Jack's entrance, they looked at each other and then Jack pushed until he felt the large head of Ennis' cock enter him.
Jack sat up and wrapped his arms around Ennis' shoulders and pulled himself forward impaling himself on his cock. He felt the long, thick cock slide into him. He and Ennis locked gazes and Jack reached his hand around to the back of Ennis' head and kissed him. His other arm wrapped around the middle of Ennis' back and pulled him tight. Ennis' arms embraced Jack and he began thrusting into Jack, jack pushed his face into the crook of his neck and kissed and bit the skin at the juncture. Jack was humping Ennis' cock, pulling his body up and down on the engorged cock.
"Oh, oh," he moaned into Ennis' shoulder and stopped moving.
"Neh," Ennis grunted, closed his eyes for a second trying to gain control. "Jack?"
Just, uuh, sore."
Ennis started to move like he was going to pull out of Jack.
"No, no, don't stop, please Ennis. Just gotta change position. Lay me back on the bed."
Jack clung to Ennis as Ennis grabbed the pillows and laid them behind Jack then they slowly laid down on them.
"Okay, that's better sweetheart," Jack looked at Ennis with a hungry look and his feet pushed against Ennis' buttocks to signal him to begin thrusting again, which he did more slowly and carefully but the more he felt Jack's anal muscles contract around his cock the faster he went. His hand found Jack's weeping cock and he grabbed hold and pumped hard.
Ennis grunts sounded just like he did the first time in the tent, the memory excited Jack so much. "Gun's goin off," he exclaimed also the same as he did in the tent. Jack's orgasm made his muscles contract tightly around Ennis' cock "Uhhh," Ennis moaned as he shot his cum deep into Jack. He collapsed next to Jack, his cock slowly slid from it's warm, wet home.
Ennis cupped Jack's cheek and Jack mirrored the motion. They didn't speak, didn't need to the expression in their eyes and the smiles and then the kisses spoke volumes.
Jack laid his head against Ennis' chest and nuzzled his neck. Ennis wrapped his arms around him. They kissed again.
"Love ya, cowboy." Jack whispered, exhaustion taking him.
"Love ya too, rodeo," Ennis joined him in slumber.
Next morning Jack woke first he got up to pee. Normally he'd make breakfast and then he and Ennis would go to work, but since they'd just moved in, they didn't' have any stock to tend to yet and it was their honeymoon. Jack figured they deserved a day in bed. So he sat next to Ennis, his head against the headboard on his side facing Ennis. He watched Ennis wake groggily, his eyes slowly open and he looked over at Jack like he didn't now where he was or how the hell he'd got there.
http://i69. morning, my sweet cowboy." He smiled at his husband.
Ennis rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked at Jack. Reality slowly dawned on him and he yawned. "Whut?" he looked at Jack still ogling him.
"Nuthin, just admiring my husband is all. Cain't believe somebody as handsome and damn sexy like you is in bed with me."
"You can't, huh? Well you oughta consider yer self lucky cause I am a catch."
Jack smiled cause Ennis rarely joked like this.
"Well don't I know it cause I done threw my lasso and roped me a cowboy."
They kissed again, "Ya hungry, I can whip us up some breakfast."
"Naw, I'll do the cookin this mornin, lil darlin. You stay put," As Ennis started to make his way to the door he paused to give Jack's ass a little smack.
"Ow! What's that for?"
"That's for being so purty and to remind ya yer mine."
"I cain't forget that." Jack settled under the covers and after a few minutes he could smell breakfast cooking. The smell of coffee wafting from the kitchen made his mouth water. Ennis came up the stairs with a tray in his hand. "I found this in the kitchen and I figured it'd make it easier to bring my man breakfast in bed.
Ennis deposited the tray onto Jack's lap and joined him in bed.
They dined on eggs and bacon, toast, orange juice and coffee.
"I think you was wrong, cowboy."
"Bout whut?"
"You cook better than me. I'm still good with a can opener though." Jack sipped his coffee.
"You've gotten better at cookin, Jack." Ennis leaned over and kissed his lips. "Mm and ya taste good too."
They finished breakfast, put the tray and dishes on the floor and made love. They spent most of the day in bed and it wasn't until mid-afternoon that they decided to look over their property and make a list of everything that needed to be fixed.
The next day they decided to go into town their first stop was the general store and the hardware store to pick up supplies of food.
Jack went into the general store and it didn't take him long to make friends with the owners, Margaret and Walter Smith. They were a nice older couple who had lived in Recluse all their lives.
"So you took over the old Hickam place, huh?" Walter asked.
"Yup sure nough, it was a sweet deal too."
"You planning on startin a cow and calf operation, that's what that place used to be before ole Tom got sick and died."
"Yeah we are," jack had thought out how he wanted to handle explaining the living arrangements.
"We? You married, Jack?"
"Divorced. My buddy, Ennis, and I decided to go in on this ranch together. He's been divorced for a few years, we both wanted a fresh start, figured this is as good a place as any to settle down. Do you know any place we can get some horses and stock?"
"Sure do, about ten miles up the road a piece is the Meyer Ranch, they got a good reputation for selling some fine quality livestock and horses. And if you go to the Country feed store right up the block you can get some feed. Tell em we sent ya and you'll probably get a good deal from Ned."
"Why thank ya, Mister Smith."
"None a that Mister Smith stuff, call me Walter."
"Okay, Walter."
Jack finished his grocery shopping and went over to Margaret. "That all, Jack?"
"Yep."
She rang him up and after paying for it he got a nice smile from her. "Oh here take some for you and your friend." She offered him some licorice candy."
"Thank ya," he took a handful and dropped it into his pocket.
"You're gonna drive us into the poorhouse, woman, if you keep givin stuff away."
Jack started to give the candy back, but Margaret shook her head no.
"Oh hush up Walter," she turned to Jack, "Now you don't pay him no mind, you keep that candy and here," she gave him some M&Ms too.
It was obvious they'd taken an instant liking to Jack. It paid to have friends in town.
Jack met up with Ennis, he'd picked up several cans of paint for the barn. The house didn't need painting so they decided they'd paint the barn and get the horses first. They knew the fences needed fixing and they'd need horses to get around their property more easily.
Jack also knew Ennis was itching to get back in the saddle. Ennis without horses was like the Earth without the Sun. A pretty bleak picture indeed.
"I found out about a place we can get us some horses and look over some stock while we're at it."
"You been shooting your mouth off again, Jack?" It always made Ennis nervous whenever he and Jack came into contact with people.
"Well jut tryin to be neighborly, besides Margaret and Walter are real nice people." They'd loaded up the truck with supplies and had gotten in. "Look what Margaret gave me." He showed Ennis the licorice and then opened up the bag of M&Ms.
"Here have some," he offered Ennis some. Ennis begrudgingly took some.
"What did ya tell em about us?"
"I told em we was two divorced fellas lookin for a fresh start. They's real nice folks, Ennis. I think Margaret is real sweet on me." He chuckled, then Ennis playfully shoved him.
"Hey what's that for?"
"I wish we could tell her yer spoken for, ya do remember that, huh?"
"Course I do, so's she, yer not jealous are ya, Ennis?"
"Jealous? Over you," he laughed, "You think too much of yourself." Ennis started the engine and drove them home.
They both brought in the groceries and as soon as they'd put the bags down on the counter Ennis grabbed Jack and pushed him against the wall.
"Hell yeah I'm jealous, yer mine. You better know that if you don't ever know nothin else, you got that Jack Fuckin Twist?" then he kissed Jack deeply, stealing all the air out of his lungs, then released him.
"Nuh, ah, eh." Jack sputtered "Yeah, Ennis," he pulled Ennis into a lip lock, "Just like yer mine, cowboy."
They put the groceries away and decided to pant the barn. They were lucky their new place came with tack and a horse trailer.
A few days later they went to the Meyer Ranch. Ben Meyer was a bit of a rough around the edge former rodeo cowboy. After he got busted up he started this ranch.
Ben and Jack hit it off immediately, each having battle scars and war stories they could compare notes. Jack remembered Ennis shaking Ben's hand and then he disappeared.
"Where did your partner go, Jack?" Ben finally noticed Ennis' absence.
"I think I know where he got off to." Jack headed straight to the pastures and sure enough there was the handsome cowboy, checking out the horses.
"Ennis, ain't much of a talker but he sure does know horse flesh."
"So ya like what ya see, Ennis?" Ben asked him.
"They look pretty good," Ennis was admiring a chestnut gelding. Jack saw a gray mare in the field that caught his eye. Ben had wandered back to the stables to talk to one of the hands. Ennis saw Jack checking out the horse and walked over to him.
"Ya like her, rodeo?" Ennis joined Jack at the fence railing, the horse had come over to Jack and was nuzzling his hand.
"I think the feeling is mutual. What do you think of her, Ennis?"
Ennis bent down and eased into the corral and checked the mare. She was looking him over too, she grabbed his hat off his head and gave it to Jack.
"Hey now," Ennis groused. Jack chucked, "I think she's sweet on ya, Ennis."
"I can see she's a lot like you, Jack. He said as he climbed back through the railing and grabbed his hat back from Jack.
"Yeah, how's that?"
"She's a smartass."
"So we can keep her?" he said excitedly like a kid with a puppy.
Ennis looked at those beautiful blue eyes, there was no way Ennis could refuse him.
"Yeah she looks like a good horse."
Ben had returned and came over to them. "So have you decided on some horses?"
"Yeah, we're takin he chestnut gelding and the gray mare."
"Do they got names?" Jack asked him.
"The chestnut is Scout and the mare is Dawn. jack gave Ben a check for the horses he helped Ennis load the horses into the trailer. They had their stalls all ready for them with hay and straw.
They settled them into their new home. Ben had given them the name of his vet, Matt Peyton, for future reference. Both horses had recently had their checkups and had been given a clean bill of health.
Jack and Ennis watched their horses grazing in the pasture. "We gotta give em a day or two to get used ta the place then we can start workin em." Ennis mentioned to Jack, they were standing side by side, their arms around each other's waists and their fingers looped into the other's belt loops.
"I gotta start settin up an office in the house, Ennis. Start setting up the books. We gotta go into town and set up a joint business account and I gotta call Seth up to start legalizing our business. And I want to get a power of attorney set up and get us some health insurance.
"Hey what should we call our operation?"
"I haven't give it much thought, how about 'Brokeback Cow and Calf operation?"
"That sounds like a sweet life, Ennis." They both remembered the idea Jack had proposed to Ennis back in '67 they both sent up prayers of thanks that Ennis finally decided to commit to it.
As the days went by things started to slowly come together, they set up a bank account, Jack called Seth who put all the paperwork together and helped them get health insurance.
They had decided that Jack would be in charge of all the paperwork, but that Ennis would also learn how the books were kept. And that at least once a week they would go over them together.
Ennis was in charge of the animals and making sure the ranch was running well. They were both getting the place ready to get their first herd of cattle.
Jack was checking the fences in the nearby pastures and Ennis had taken Scout and was mending the fences out in the fields. He was up in the north pasture replacing some wires. Then he got on Scout and they rode to another stretch of fence. All of a sudden Scout stopped and Ennis could feel the animal tensing.
"Whattsa matter, boy?"
Scout spotted a snake lying in the brush just a few moments before Ennis did. Scout reared up so quickly Ennis had little time to brace himself. He fell off of Scout's back and landed hard on the ground and lay still. Scout reared up and attacked the snake with his sharp hooves. Luckily the snake was not poisonous and he slithered away. Scout went over to Ennis and nuzzled him with his nose, but Ennis stayed very still.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, Jack was in the middle of mucking out the stalls when he had a feeling like a sixth sense that something was wrong. "Ennis?" a cold fear settled in the pit of his stomach. Jack quickly saddled Dawn and they took off for the north pasture.
