-I Am A Cowgirl
Jake held Witch still as Sam swung up on her dark ebony back. Sam sat lightly on the mare as she waited for Jake to get up, behind her. Jake looked up at her from the ground and smiled, handing her the reins. Taking them, Sam's fingers touched Jake's. A warm sensation filled her.
Jake leaped up behind her. Sam sighed as his legs pressed closer to hers. His arms came around her and took the reins. One large hand stayed protectively across her, like a safety belt. Sam relaxed into his warm chest, smiling.
Jake lowered his head so his mouth was close to her neck. His breath tickled and she giggled quietly as Jake kicked Witch into a canter after Jen and Darrel.
Sam enjoyed the way both there bodies rocked together to Witch's rhythmic steps. As they neared Riverbend Jake slowed Witch to a stop.
Sam turned to him with a puzzled expression. Jake ducked his head so his lips met hers. This kiss was more gentle then the one they had shared at the lake. Jake slid his hand up from her lower abdomen and to her neck, keeping her face close to his. They broke apart but hovered inches from each others face.
"Sam?" Jake said shifting his gaze from her lips up to her light green eyes.
"Yeah."
"W-would you like to be my, girlfriend?" Jake struggled to say. Sam smiled nodding and pulled him in for a small kiss. Jake smiled and signaled for Witch to walk on. Witch totted threw the La Charla River, her feet coming down with heavy plops on the water.
"Oh on." Sam groaned as they entered the ranch yard.
Wyatt Forster stood on the porch his arms crossed over his chest, Jen stood off to the side of him looking down. Darrel standing at the porch steps stood holding Simon.
"Oh no." Sam sighed again. Jake rode up to the pool of light radiating from the farm house.
"Jake." Wyatt said with a stern face. Jake ducked his head in greeting and slipped off the big black mare.
"Samantha Ann where in god's green earth have you been?" Wyatt growled as Jake helped her down from the horse.
"It's our fault Mr. Forster," Jake said as Sam walked up the porch steps, careful not to met the eyes of her father
"We made the girls come with us." Darrel offered. Simon brayed and threw his head.
"You can't make anyone do something, Darrel." Wyatt said sternly "Which is exactly why Samantha you'll have extra chores for the next three weeks and I will be contacting you father, Jennifer."
"Dad! Harp-" Sam butted in. Jake gave her a stern look and Sam closed her mouth
"You should have thought of that before young lady." Wyatt yelled "Now get up to your room! Both of you."
"Yes sir." Sam whispered, as she started after Jen towards the screen door. Sam turned before entering the farmhouse and mouthed 'bye' to Jake. His face stayed blank, showing no expression.
"Now do you realize what could have happened if you had done anything?" Sam heard Wyatt ask the boys as she made her way up to her bed room.

Sam blew back a sweaty strand of her long auburn locks, that had came lose of her low ponytail as she stacked hay. Sam straightened up and stretched after she had thrown the last bale on top.
Sam was pulling off her leather working gloves as Jake come up behind her.
"Hey."
Sam jumped and spun around to face him
"Jesus Jake don't do that!" Sam cried as she put a hand over her heart.
"Sorry." Jake smiled and stepped closer. Grabbing hold of her hips Jake pulled her towards him. Sam giggled and smiled up at him. She wrapped her arms around his strong shoulders and stood on her tippy toes. There lips met for a brief kiss.
"We can't do this now." Sam smiled pulling away "We have to go meet the harp kids."
"Jen can handle it." Jake said letting his hands slip from her hips to her butt. He bent his head and kissed her lightly again.
"Jake," Sam groaned against his lips. He chuckled deep in his throat.
"Oh! Sorry I didn't mean to um interrupt."
Sam and Jake broke apart and turned towards the stairs, leading up from the tack room. Pepper stood there his eyes were wide and his face was tinted scarlet. Jake rubbed the back of his neck as Pepper rose an eyebrow towards him.
"It's ok Pepper." Sam smiled "We were just leaving."
Pepper nodded and continued on by them.
Jake followed Sam down the stairs and out into the hot summer's day. Jake watched as Sam as she walked in front of him. Sam wore tight cut off jean shorts, brown work cowboy boots, leather work gloves and a light red strapped tank top. Jake grinned Sam looked hot.
The short's shown off her tanned legs and hugged her tight butt. His eyes traveled up her the red tank top hugged her torso and he watched her hips swing as she walked.
Bryanna hollered for Sam and Jake to come meet the Harp kids, already lined up out side Bryanna's jeep.
Maybe this summer won't be so bad after all, Jake thought to himself What could go wrong?
"Hi I'm Ricky." a blond boy said sticking out his hand for Sam.
