Alliances
Part 14
Southfork Ranch is located just off of Parker Road, five and a half miles away from US Highway 75, Exit # 30, and the Central Expressway North. The drive to the ranch is approximately thirty-five to forty minutes from Dallas, Texas. A four-foot high, three-rail wooden fence encloses the interior portions of the ranch.
J.R. and Sue Ellen walked arm in arm by the interior fence of the ranch. The evening breeze was a welcome reprieve from the blistering heat of the mid-summer sun. The sounds of birds filled the air, as J.R. and Sue Ellen neared the horse stables.
Sue Ellen stopped walking, and pushed a stray lock of hair away from her eyes. J.R. smiled at her, as he watched her hand repeatedly push her hair away from her face. Sue Ellen's persistence continuously amazed J.R. She was so strong-willed, and determined. It was an appealing trait that J.R. found as attractive as Sue Ellen herself.
Sue Ellen raised an eyebrow, as she tried to interpret the distant look on J.R.'s face.
"What are you thinkin' about, J.R.?" Sue Ellen asked.
J.R. pulled Sue Ellen into his arms, and said, "The most gracious, elegant, beautiful and sexy woman in the entire world."
Sue Ellen delicately kissed J.R.'s lips, as he pulled her into his embrace.
J.R. pulled Sue Ellen's head onto his shoulder, and ran his fingers through her hair. Her hair felt soft, as he slid his hand underneath her hair, and touched the skin on her neck. Sue Ellen nestled her head into the crook of J.R.'s neck. His neck was covered with the bristly stubble of a day's worth of beard growth.
Sue Ellen relished the intensely masculine feeling of J.R.'s hair against the side of her face. Sue Ellen inhaled, as the scent of J.R.'s faded cologne, and the smell of hickory smoke from the barbeque grill filled her senses. The woodsy scent of the two aromas, peppered with the very essence of the man holding Sue Ellen in his arms was a powerful combination.
Sue Ellen closed her eyes, as J.R. held her in his arms, while he leaned against the interior fence.
J.R. peered out from underneath the brim of his Stetson, and scanned the view of the ranch.
A few of the horses were running in one of the pastures, under the watchful eye of one of the ranch hands.
The sounds of the horses' feet hitting the ground reverberated across the land, and J.R. felt the vibration through the fence rail, as he leaned against the fence. J.R. started gently rocking Sue Ellen in his arms, as the fence continued to vibrate against his lower back.
Sue Ellen lifted her head, a few minutes later, and said, "You could put me to sleep,rockin' me back and forth like that, Darlin'."
J.R. smiled at her, and said, "Well, I wouldn't want to do that, Honey. We've got unfinished business to take care of."
Sue Ellen gave him a surprised look, and asked, "What unfinished business are you referrin' to, J.R.?"
J.R. laughed a devious sounding laugh, and Sue Ellen knew precisely what 'business' J.R. had referred to.
J.R. said, "Let's go over and sit underneath our tree, Sugar. It's still too hot to be standin' here in the sun."
Sue Ellen smiled at J.R.'s reference to the giant elm tree as their tree. J.R. truly seemed to have changed. Perhaps when Sue Ellen left Dallas for London, J.R. received the 'wake-up call' that he needed to enact the changes. Perhaps he really had changed, and his niceties weren't simple put-ons for her benefit.
The chase had always been more important to J.R. than the catch. Once J.R. had his prey, he would lose interest in her. Maybe their living arrangements would be for the best, after all? Time would tell, Sue Ellen mused, as she and J.R. stood in front of the elm tree, and released each other's hands.
Sue Ellen leaned against the trunk of the tree, with her hands behind her back, her palms against the trunk.
J.R. placed his hands against the tree, straddling Sue Ellen's shoulders. J.R. leaned forward to kiss Sue Ellen. He could have pinned her hands behind her back, but she had already taken care of that for him.
J.R. stared at Sue Ellen's full, sensuous mouth, as he drew closer to her. Sue Ellen opened her mouth to J.R.'s eager tongue. He covered her mouth with hot, wet kisses. Sue Ellen's pulse was racing, as J.R. continued probing her mouth with his tongue.
J.R. pulled Sue Ellen into his arms, needing to feel her body pressed against him. Sue Ellen was instantly made aware of J.R.'s desire for her as he pulled her against him. Sue Ellen put her arms around J.R., and moved her hands up to his shoulders. His skin felt warm to her touch through the fabric of his shirt.
Sue Ellen pulled away from J.R. long enough to catch her breath, then rallied his kisses with her own. J.R.'s hand fell to Sue Ellen's hips, as he turned around, and leaned against the tree for support. J.R. hands moved around to the front of Sue Ellen's jeans, stopping at the button.
Sue Ellen whispered, "Oh, J.R., I want you so badly."
J.R.'s voice was thick with need as he said, "God, I want you, Sue Ellen, but not here, I don't want to give the hands somethin' to talk about at the bars, later on, tonight."
Sue Ellen asked, "Do you think it's possible for us to sit out here, and not give in to what we're feelin' right now?"
J.R. said, "I don't know, do you want to try? Or would you rather go back to the house, and pick this up in our bedroom?"
Sue Ellen winked at J.R., and said, "I have a better idea. Follow me, Darlin'."
Sue Ellen pulled J.R.'s hand, as she walked toward the horse stables. If her memory served, there was a large tack storage barn behind the stables. She and J.R. could climb up the ladder to the loft, and no one would suspect they were there. They could grab one of the horse blankets, and make love on the blanket in the loft.
J.R.'s curiosity was at its pinnacle, as he eagerly followed Sue Ellen past the stables. Sue Ellen let go of J.R.'s hand, as she unlatched the door to the tack storage barn.
J.R. asked, "Where are we goin', Honey?"
Sue Ellen replied, "Patience, J.R., you'll see in just a minute."
Sue Ellen pulled the door shut, once she and J.R. were inside the tack barn. Sue Ellen lifted her index finger into the air, and motioned for J.R. to follow her up the ladder, to the loft. J.R. stood underneath the wooden ladder, ogling Sue Ellen as she climbed up to the loft.
J.R.'s eager grin turned into a leer, as he watched Sue Ellen's hips sway to and fro, as she climbed the rungs of the ladder. J.R. waited until Sue Ellen stepped off of the ladder, and was safely on the floor of the loft, before stepping onto the ladder.
It had been years since J.R. last climbed a ladder, let alone while wearing cowboy boots, but the reasons for his climbing onto the ladder today were much more exciting than they had been in the past. He grinned wide, as he came to understand Sue Ellen's motives for bringing him to the tack barn.
J.R. stepped onto the floor of the loft, just in time to see Sue Ellen standing in a shirt, opened to her waist, and nothing more. J.R.'s breath caught in his throat, when he saw Sue Ellen. Her hands were on the second to the last button of her blouse, and the light filtering through the aged, wooden slats of the roof, cast a shadow over her appearance, making her even more appealing to J.R.'s eyes.
J.R. stepped toward Sue Ellen, as she unbuttoned the last button of her blouse. Her jeans lay in a pile on the floor, next to a pair of burgundy colored western boots. J.R.'s eyes darted from the pile of her clothing, back to Sue Ellen.
Sue Ellen lifted her hands to the collar of her blouse, and pushed the sleeves of her blouse over her shoulders. J.R.'s eyes widened, as she tossed the blouse on top of the pile of her clothes. The sunbeams flitted around Sue Ellen's naked figure, as she stood in front of J.R.
Sue Ellen stood on the loft floor with her feet shoulder width apart, and her hands resting on her hips. The sunlight filtering in through the knotholes, and loosened slats of wood gave her an gossamer-like appearance, and made it difficult for J.R. to fully make out her form. J.R. could barely distinguish the outline of Sue Ellen's breasts as she waited for him to disrobe.
J.R. kicked off his cowboy boots, and coughed, as his boots stirred a cloud of dust off of the floor of the loft. Sue Ellen smirked, at him, trying desperately not to laugh, and run the risk of ruining his state of arousal. J.R. ripped at the snaps on his western-cut shirt, and threw the crumpled shirt in the same direction where his cowboy boots had landed.
Sue Ellen bit at her bottom lip, as she anxiously waited for J.R. to remove his jeans. J.R. fumbled with the closure of his pants, unwilling to divert his eyes away from Sue Ellen. She had his rapt attention, and knew full well what to do to keep it.
J.R. bridged the distance between him and Sue Ellen in two lengthy strides. Sue Ellen extended her hands, and touched J.R.'s chest. J.R. pulled Sue Ellen into his arms, and firmly kissed her. Sue Ellen opened her mouth to J.R.'s skilled movements of his tongue.
Sue Ellen had waited for this moment since before she and J.R. were first married. She knew how much J.R. secretly wanted a romp in the barn, and she was going to give him that opportunity, whether someone caught them, or not.
Sue Ellen turned around, and unfolded a blanket, fanning it out, before laying it on the dust covered floor of the loft. Sue Ellen knelt down on top of the blanket. She raised her hand in the air, to take J.R.'s hand. He bent down, and straddled Sue Ellen's outstretched legs.
Sue Ellen pulled J.R.' s head down to hers, and hungrily kissed him, opening her mouth to his, once more. J.R. wasted no time in claiming his prize. He entered Sue Ellen without a moment's hesitation, as she dug her fingernails into the skin on his back. J.R. grimaced in pain, but found her aggression arousing at the same time.
Sue Ellen moved her hips against J.R., as he thrust into her, harder and harder, unable to restrain his hunger for her.
J.R. said, "Oh, God, Honey. I won't last much longer."
Sue Ellen said, "Please...J.R., not yet. I want this to last."
J.R. slowed down his vigorous pace, and regained control of his ability to endure, in spite of Sue Ellen writhing underneath him. Sue Ellen grinned at J.R., gazing at him through heavy lidded eyes.
Sue Ellen lightly touched the side of J.R.'s ear, and ran her fingers, behind his ear, as his mouth sought to kiss the inside of her wrist.
J.R. moaned out loud, as he reached the point of no return, calling Sue Ellen's name.
Sue Ellen cried out, "Yes, J.R., Oh God, yes. Now!"
J.R. closed his eyes, as he was swept away by the aftermath of their lovemaking. Sue Ellen arched her back, underneath J.R., giving him all that he had given her.
J.R. collapsed on top of Sue Ellen with a satisfied groan. Sue Ellen ran her hand through J.R.'s hair, as he kissed at her neck.
J.R. spoke, "Damn, Honey, you wore me out."
Sue Ellen asked, "Is that so bad, J.R.?"
J.R. kissed her, and said, "No, it's not bad at all, but it's gonna be a while before I have the strength to move."
Sue Ellen turned her head to face J.R., saying, "That was incredible, Darlin'. You are like a fine wine, you keep gettin' better with time."
J.R. chuckled, and said, "I'm glad you didn't make a reference to my age, Sugar."
Sue Ellen purred, "I don't give a damn how old you are, J.R. You're only as old as you feel, and heaven knows you can hold your own against men half your age."
J.R. kissed Sue Ellen, thanking her for her sincerity.
Sue Ellen said, "It's true, J.R. You are such a skilled lover, that kind of knowledge can only come with time."
J.R. said, "You flatter me, Darlin'. I don't deserve it."
Sue Ellen kissed J.R.'s cheek, as she snuggled by his side, and said, "You deserve every ounce of flattery I can dish out, J.R. It's a little late for you to learn humility now, don't you think?"
J.R. grinned, and said, "Hell, Sugar, it's hard to feel humble when I get the opportunity to make love to a woman as sexy as you."
Sue Ellen tugged at J.R.'s earlobe with her teeth, and said, "Mmm, whenever you're up for it, J.R. I'm ready for round two."
J.R. was ready, willing and able. Their second session of lovemaking was more heated, and passionate than their first. J.R. assumed the role of the aggressor, as his thrusting gyrations sent Sue Ellen over the edge, as she repeatedly called out his name. The birds outside of the barn flew away, frightened by the sounds resonating from inside the barn.
J.R. rolled off of Sue Ellen, gasping for air. He was dripping with perspiration from his heated encounter with Sue Ellen. Sue Ellen pushed her hair away from her face, as she turned her head to face J.R.
J.R. wore a broad, satisfied grin, obviously pleased with Sue Ellen's response to their lovemaking.
Sue Ellen sat up, and glanced around the dust filled loft. J.R. sat up, next to Sue Ellen, and kissed her neck. He pulled Sue Ellen against him, and wrapped his legs around her hips. Sue Ellen leaned into J.R., resting her back against his chest.
J.R. said, "I don't know why we haven't come up here before. That was absolutely amazin', Sue Ellen."
Sue Ellen turned her head over her shoulder, straining to see J.R.'s face, as she said, "I don't know why I hadn't thought about this place sooner. I needed you J.R. I couldn't wait any longer."
J.R. put his arms around Sue Ellen, and pulled her securely to his chest. Face it, J.R., he thought to himself, you are head over heels in love. J.R. kissed Sue Ellen on her temple, as she closed her eyes, and leaned into him.
The sun was setting, casting a deep pink glow over the loft in the tack barn. J.R. and Sue Ellen would spend several minutes alone in the empty loft, until they regained the strength they needed to walk back to the house...
