“We are, but no-one else is.”
“I don’t understand. Where are you taking me?”
“You’ll see.”
“Don’t you have people coming to the ranch for lessons?”
“Yep, but not for a couple of hours and that’s time enough.”
“Time enough for what?”
“This,” he exclaimed, following a sharp curve and stopping in front of a small lake.
“I don’t understand.”
“This pond is man-made,” he replied with a wide grin, “and it comes with that.”
As he pointed off to his right she spotted a cabin with a wide porch and a bench swing.
“Oh, my gosh.”
“They rent this place out by the hour as well as overnight and for longer stays. It’s very popular, especially when the weather starts warmin’ up like it’s startin’ to,” he declared, then climbed out and strode around the front of the truck and opened her door. “Come inside and take a look.”
He was grinning, and though she was sure she could see a wicked twinkle in his eye she followed him into the story-book cottage. There was a kitchenette, a comfortable lounge offering a conversation pit around a stone fireplace, and an open doorway leading into a bedroom.
“Stay here for a second,” he said as he marched away, but he was back in a flash and pulling off his clothes.
“What are you doing?” she asked as he began unbuttoning her shirt.
“What does it look like?”
Giggling, she stayed still as he continued to undress her, but when he’d finished and swept her up, he didn’t carry her into the bedroom, but outside to the pond.
“CADE! NO!” she yelled, realizing what he was about to do.
“YES!” he exclaimed, marching down to the pond and wading into the water. “Are you ready?”
“NO!”

In spite of Karen’s squeals and protests he knew she was thrilled, and after pausing for a moment to heighten the excitement, he tossed her into the water.
“You’re a beast!” she sputtered angrily, then laughed hysterically as he stepped forward and wrapped her up.
“But you love that about me!”
“I do not!” she retorted, wriggling in his hold.
“Yes you do.”
“No, no, no!”
In spite of her protests her arms moved around his neck, and she pressed her slick, naked body against his. Quickly sliding his fingers into her wet hair, he tugged it back and fervently kissed her, crushing her lips and demanding her response. Though he’d planned to have fun in the pond their carnal longing took control.
Lifting her up and carrying her back into the cabin, he didn’t care about the water dripping across the floor as he hurried into the bedroom. There were two towels on the foot of the bed, and grabbing one, he hastily dried them both off, pushed her onto the patchwork cotton comforter, then grabbed the condom packet he’d left on the nightstand earlier.
“Cade, you’re a wild man,” she whimpered as he sheathed himself and climbed on top of her.
