A/N: It's only been a week but it feels like forever since I last updated this chapter. This is part one of Beca and Jesse's trip to the rodeo. It was fun yet difficult to write, since I'm trying to keep the smut factor up to par.

Raven12 and cuticlecareenetwork...this chapter is for y'all. Not sure where this smut rates on a scale of 1 to 10 but I liked it, I hope y'all will too. Here's my contribution to Smut Sunday!

Beca was excited for two reason when she woke up bright and early on Thursday morning. She was so excited, in fact, that she had hardly slept the night before. One reason was because they were leaving for the rodeo. She was excited to compete and just be alone with Jesse for a few days. The other reason was because she was going to pick up Jesse's gift before they left.

She quickly showered and packed the last of her things before she lugged her suitcase down the stairs and out to her truck. Jesse had just finished hooking up the trailer when she got outside. He smiled and said, "Good morning my sunshine!" he said looking around to make sure no one was around then kissed her and took the suitcase from her hand before opening the trailer to put it inside.

"Morning Mr. Happy Pants."

"I am happy. I get you all to myself for the next few days."

She smiled and told him "I need to run a few errands before we leave."

"Take my truck." he told her handing her the keys.

"Thanks but I can't. I need to take my truck."

"Babe, I just hooked up the trailer to your truck. You should have said something before now."

"It's ok. I'll take the trailer, it's no biggie."

"Let me go with you. I'll be finished up here in a minute."

"No, it's ok." she told him. "I won't be gone long and we can leave when I get back."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive." she said tiptoeing to kiss him.

Jesse sighed. "Ok, if you insist. I'll see you in..."

"...In about 45 minutes." she said looking at the time on her phone. "I really gotta go."

Jesse kissed her and told her he loved her before she loaded up and took off. She was so friggin little; he wasn't sure how she managed to drive a full sized dually with a 35 foot goose neck horse trailer on the back of it but she did. She drove it like she stole it. While she was gone he finished getting everything together that they'd need over the next few days.

When Beca arrived to pick up Jesse's gift she was asked to look over all of the customizations and make sure everything was just as she wanted. As she looked it over, she marveling at the way it looked. When she was satisfied that everything was perfect, she asked that it be loaded into the trailer and secured as they had a 4 hour drive ahead of them. Beca thanked the guys for everything they had done and headed home.

Beca could hardly contain her excitement during the drive home. She wanted to just give him his present when she got home but if she did then should wouldn't be able to do what she'd been planning along. Another few hours wasn't going to kill her. After all, she had waited this long.

Jesse met her in the drive when she pulled up. He was curious as to where she had been but he was even more excited to get on the road and have her all to himself. After telling their parents goodbye, promising to call when they got there and loading up Whiskey and all of his things, they got on the road for their four hour drive to Houston.

About an hour or so into their drive, Beca unbuckled her seat beat, put her head on Jesse's thigh and went to sleep, which he knew would make the rest of the drive quite boring for him but he didn't dare wake her. He ran his fingers through her hair and quietly wondered what she had been up to that morning. Trying to keep his eyes on the road, he admired how beautiful she was, he could hardly believe that she was his. She always looked so peaceful when she slept; like she didn't have a care in the world. He knew different though. He knew that dealing with the Luke situation made her feel like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders

Shortly before they arrived in Houston, Beca woke up refreshed from her nap and ready to take on the rest of the day. They checked in at the arena and received their credentials, as well as their passes for the drink and food tents and the evening concerts. Once that was taken care of they needed check Whiskey into the stables, which were being supplied and manned by the rodeo association members. The last task they had to tackle was driving over to the camp ground and getting their camp site set up.

Beca was antsy about finally being able to give Jesse his gift. She just hoped that everything went according to plan. When she bought the horse trailer with the living quarters and toy hauler, she had no idea that this is what she'd be using it for. Of course, she also had no idea that she would start dating Jesse either; a lot had changed since the last rodeo and especially in the last 8 months.

While Jesse went to the front desk to take care of a few things and fill their cooler with ice, Beca showered. The worst part of traveling as far as she was concerned was feeling like she was covered in germs and road grime. After finishing her hair and make-up, she had to look amazing after all, she snagged Jesse's black Stetson and made her way around the trailer, hoping he wouldn't see her. She walked into the toy hauler and undressed down to her barely there black and red lace bra and panties, leaving her boots and Jesse's hat on. Her hair falling in loose curls down her back an over one shoulder. She posed herself and when she was comfortable she called him.

"Hey babe!"

"Hey. Are you still busy at the front desk?"

"No, I'm on my way back."

"Oh good...cuz I managed to get myself locked in the toy hauler."

"How did you manage that?"

"I was moving some things around and the door shut behind me."

Jesse laughed, "Ok, gimme a minute and I'll come save you."

"Ok, but don't be long because I've been in here a while and I have to pee...bad."

"Ok, ok...almost there."

"Okbye!" It came out as one word. She had to hurry and get off the phone before she started laughing. Tossing her phone onto the pile of her clothes, she lowered Jesse's hat and got ready for him to walk in. She could hear him walk up and put the cooler next to the trailer.

Wiggling the handle he said "Babe, the door isn't . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . locked." when he saw her his jaw dropped.

"You like?" she said with a wicked grin on her face.

"Ummm ... yeah, I uhh ... I ... I ... I do." he stuttered. "but uhhh ... you uhhh ... you don't exactly look like a damsel in distress."

"Oh no ... I'm not in any distress." she said as she tapped a riding crop in her hand.

"What is this?" he asked pointing.

"This is your gift." she said pointing to the bike with the riding crop. "And this..." she said "this is a riding crop. Turns out you can use it on more than horses." she said tapping him on the leg with it.

Jesse gulped. Standing there blinking like a deer in the headlights he asked "You, bought me, a Harley Davidson?!"

"I did! It's custom too." she said with a wink. "This is the only Harley that comes with me!"

Jesse had only managed to walk in, closing and locking the door behind him. He hadn't walked any closer to her or the bike. He stood in awe as he took in the sight of his incredibly sexy, very scantily clothed girlfriend perched atop his brand new motorcycle.

"You can come closer you know. I don't bite...hard." she said as she bit down on her index finger and looked at him seductively.

"I can't believe this." he said as he stood next to the bike, not knowing if he wanted to touch her or the bike.

"Believe it baby...it's all yours. Custom chrome fleck paint, ape hanger handle bars, ipod dock and speakers, LED under mount carriage lighting, large pipes..." He couldn't take it any longer, he had to kiss her, she was talking entirely too much. He didn't care about any of the specifics, well maybe he would at some point but right now, he had the sexiest half nekkid woman on his brand new Harley and he was gonna take total advantage of it.

Several minutes later she stopped kissing him, "You're entirely too over dressed for this christening party." She said swinging her leg over the bike so that she was standing in front of him. She removed his skin tight t-shirt quickly and moved toward the buckle on his belt. As she tugged the belt through the loops, she grinned at the naughty thought that entered her head, "We may need this later." She said causing Jesse's eyes to bulge as he swallowed hard. He bent down to remove his boots and placed a sweet kiss on her right hip over her tattoo.

There he stood in all his nekkid glory. "Now what?" he asked her. She used the riding crop to tickle his abs before she switched places with him so that his back was to the bike. Giving him a light whack on the butt with the riding crop she told him, "Straddle it." He straddled the bike as he was told and she straddled him, her thighs over his, her back to the handle bars, his erection poking a hole in the thin material of her lacy panties.

He looked at her with lidded eyes and said, "Now who's overdressed?" as he ran his hands up her thighs then her sides. As he nuzzled her neck he felt her slip her hands behind her back to the clasp of the bra. "No … let me." He said removing her bra and tossing it aside. He stood, reaching down to remove her boots then began kissing from her ankles to the insides of her thighs leaving a fiery trail in his wake. She threw her head back, careful not to let his hat fall off her head, as gradually kissed his way up her body until he was nipping and sucking her breasts.

She leaned back on her elbows a little further, the coolness of the tank felt good on her warm skin, his hands wandering her body. Deciding that her panties needed to go, he tore the thin pieces of string on either side freeing her from the small piece of lace. She pushed his shoulder gently telling him to lean back. As he did, she stood on the foot petals and lowered herself on to him which elicited a loud hiss. With his hands firmly on her hips, she alternated between moving up and down to moving in circles. She decided pretty quickly that riding him on his motorcycle was hot and it damn sure wasn't the last time it was going to happen.

Their early evening activities caused them to work up quite an appetite. After showering and getting dressed they decided to head down to the Hideaway to meet up with their rodeo friends. The Hideaway was a log cabin type building with a huge covered outdoor eating area. Inside there was dim lighting, a mechanical bull, live band, a bar and a dance floor. I was a "pretty hoppin' and happenin' place to be" according to the rodeo organizers. It wasn't open to the public, so only rodeo officials, competitors and their guests were allowed inside. The best part as far as Beca and Jesse were concerned was that as long as you had your rodeo credentials you could drink without being carded.

Beca and Jesse walked toward The Hideaway hand in hand, the smell of BBQ was wafting through the air. It could probably be smelled from miles away. When they walked in they could hear what sounded like a Sylvester killing Tweety and Scar killing Zazu simultaneously...it was anything but pretty. Turns out it was their friend Levi's girlfriend Taylor. Poor girl couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Beca quickly dropped Jesse's hand to cover her ears. "Sweet Jesus, who gave that girl a microphone?"

"Obviously someone who's tone deaf and dumb!" Jesse replied following Beca's lead and covering his ears. "We need to find Levi...STAT!"

"No shit! I wonder how much she's had to drink."

"Too much!" Beca yelled.

Taylor finally finished butchering Madonna's 'Like A Virgin' and Beca and Jesse finally found Levi. After their hi's, hello's and how ya been's they begged him not to let her sing again. "Sorry guys." Levi said, "She's already signed up like 10 more times. She's singing Pat Benatar's 'Heartbreaker' next."

"Dude no! She can't sing. She's murdering good music." Beca told him.

"Oh come on...she's not that bad."

"How much has she had to drink?" Jesse asked him as he turned to the bartender and ordered a round shots for them.

"She's been drinking all day. Started off with Bloody Mary's around 10 this morning and now she's on to shots. Star fuckers and Water Moccasin's... I think."

"That's a lethal combination my friend." Beca told him. "She's going to be praising the porcelain God in the morning."

"Yeah, I know but I can't stop her."

"How is she going to compete in the morning?" Jesse asked handing Beca her shot. When he kissed her cheek, she mumbled, "One less competitor for me to worry about." Jesse smiled because Beca was a force to be reckoned with. She held the title for best barrel racing time. Her goal was to beat her time which won her the title. She had been barrel racing for as long as he could remember and she good, no take that back she was excellent.

"I don't know but that's why we're here so she's gonna have to figure it out."

Taylor stumbled over to the bar where they were talking and nearly knocked Beca down. Jesse caught her but not before Taylor spilled her next Star Fucker down Beca's shirt. She immediately started to blot her shirt when Jesse brushed his lips across her ear and said, "I'll have fun cleaning that up later." causing Beca to blush.

"Come on cowboy, let's go dance." Beca said grabbing his hand and dragging him to the dance floor. After a few slow dances the band took a break and a local DJ took over. Their favorite Texas country artist, Stoney LaRue, was up after the break. Jesse tried sneaking off the dance floor when the club music started to play but Beca dragged him back out. "Come on...it's the Cupid Shuffle." she said.

"Babe, I don't know that one."

"I'll teach you. Let's go!" They both threw back a shots and went out on the dance floor. Jesse was a little stiff but he loosened up pretty quickly and turns out he wasn't half bad. When they were done they went back to the bar for another drink and to talk to a few other friends that they only saw during rodeo season.

"Want me to teach you the Wobble?" Beca asked when the music changed.

"Baby, I'm pretty sure you taught me that a while back." he said with a sneaky little grin.

"Touche'...come on, let's wobble baby!"

"Do we have to?"

"Last one...I promise. Then you don't have to dance again until Stoney comes out."

"Deal...let's wobble baby!"

After dancing, they each got another drink and Beca told Jesse she was going to ride the mechanical bull. He knew that she'd had quite a bit to drink and that it probably wasn't a good idea but he didn't dare tell her what he thought. He just took her hand and walked across the room with her. She handed Jesse her boots before she mounted the mechanical bull. When the operator announced that he had another rider, everyone in the room turned their attention to her. She was wearing a tight tank top, her perky breast on display for all to see, barely there shorts with a belt that had a huge blinged out buckle. Jesse could hear the other guys in the room talking about how hot she was and that there was no way she'd last more than a couple of seconds.

She motioned to the operator that she was ready. The bull started off slowly as the speed was increased, the muscles in Beca's legs became very visible, she wasn't going to allow herself to be bucked off of a wooden bull. The operator quickly realized that he either had a pro on his hands or it was a case of beginners luck, either way, he couldn't lose the $1,000 that she would win if he couldn't throw her off so he increased the speed again. Beca was up for the challenge. She rode that bull like she stole it, like she'd been riding her entire life. That bull was her bitch and she was going to show it and it's operator who was boss. He couldn't shake her off. She was holding on for dear life and that fucker was going to hand over that $1,000 prize. He realized that the end of the song was near and she had ridden the entire time...he was out $1,000. DAMNIT! The fucking bitch won fair and square. When she got off the bull she walked right over to him with her hand out, "Time to pay up big guy!" As he handed over the money and said, "Great ride ma'am... great ride!"

She winked at him and said, "Lemme know when you're ready to lose your next grand." Prize money in her hand, Beca walked over to Jesse, the sound of drunken whistles behind her. She shoved the cash in his pocket, put her arms around his neck and kissed him hard. When breathing became an issue, they separated and Beca sat down to put her boots back on. Jesse sat next to her and said, "Babe, that was great. You looked amazing up there."

"Thanks. I made that bull my bitch!" she said making Jesse laugh.

"And you made a bunch of guys in here hot under the collar and below the waist."

"I only have eyes for one cowboy." she said kissing him again.

Sometimes they thought this was the best and their most favorite part of the rodeo. It was the time when everyone was just friends. There was no competition or tension just good friends and good times. When their favorite Stoney LaRue song started to play, he gave her 'the look', placed his hand on the small of her back and lead her to the dance floor. He loved dancing with Beca but he especially loved slow dancing with her. He loved the closeness, holding her tight and feeling her body against his. They began dancing cheek to cheek, his lips brushing across her ear as he sang so only she could hear.

"It's a feeling I get
When you start to cry
Tears down my cell
Like a stormy night

So dry your eyes girl
And just let me hold you
I was born to skate on very thin ice
Most of what I do, I don't even think twice
So dry your eyes girl
And just let me hold you

Close your eyes
Hold on tight
Let me run around inside of your mind
Baby, just for tonight
Let me just hold you

I'm the ship that's been tossed
A bridge that's burned
You brought me back from a point of no return
Thank God I'm with you now
So I can just hold you
Oh, there's nothing more that I need to say
I just want to be yours at the end of every day
So I can close my eyes
And just let you hold me

Close your eyes
Hold on tight
Let me run around inside of your mind
Baby, just for tonight
Let me just hold you

For all we know there may not be tomorrow
Let's hold on tight
'Til the mornin' comes

Close your eyes
Hold on tight
Let me run around inside of your mind
Baby, just for tonight
Let me just hold you
Baby, just for tonight
Let me just hold you"

The song was over and he was no longer singing but they continued to dance like they were the only ones in the room and as far as they were concerned, they were. He kissed her with love, urgency and need. He needed to get her out of The Hideaway and back to their camp site.

"You ready to go?" she asked.

"I've been ready since you got off that bull." he said winking at her.

They had another couple drinks before they said their goodbyes for the night. Their friends took to ribbing and teasing them about "gettin' it on" and "looks like someone's gettin' lucky tonight". They left to the sounds of cat calls and wolf whistles behind them. What they didn't know was that someone had been watching them all night, but they'd find out soon enough.

When they got back to their trailer, they stumbled in. A shower of clothes and limbs everywhere. Jesse picked her up and threw her on the bed. Their little afternoon romp on the motorcycle only made him want her more now. As he crawled from the foot of the bed up to where she was on the pillows he kissed, licked, nipped and sucked every inch of her skin. When he got to her chest he looked at her and smiled, "You taste like watermelon."

She laughed, "You have Taylor to thank for that. I'm pretty sure I got about 5 star fuckers spilled on me over the course of the night."

"Remind me to thank her tomorrow." he said between kisses.
