Dusty Trails, Wet Saddles


"You girls try not to get into too much trouble while we're gone." Darlene called down from atop her horse.

"How come I can't go, too? Annie can take care of things just fine on her lonesome." Abigail Mae pleaded in response. She fidgeted with her apron and shuffled her bare feet on the dust hard-packed earth.

"There ain't no sense in everybody going. We'll only be gone for a bit. We'll be back as soon as we can."

"Then how come you're takin' Maddie?" Abigail Mae blurted out, trying desperately to convince her boss to take her on this rare trip into town.

Darlene gave Abigail Mae a stern look. She knew the young girl still wasn't used to this secluded sort of life, and it showed now more than ever. It even showed in her clothes. Abigail Mae still wore the soft cotton dresses with lace trim and flowered prints, like there was someone out here to get prettied up for. Though, to be honest, Darlene did find Abigail Mae's youthful exuberance a refreshing change of pace. All too often the plump young, energetic girl would be bouncing about the kitchen or garden while whistling or singing a little tune to herself. Around her chubby neck, the teenager wore a heart-shaped golden locket. Darlene had never seen her take off in her few months working here at the ranch. Abigail Mae played with the string on her apron, still caked with flour from this morning's biscuits, as she glared up, big-eyed, at Darlene.

"Maddie's goin' so she can help load the wagon. I ain't loadin' all that feed myself, and last time the shopkeep's boy busted a sack and they still tried to charge us for it." Darlene quipped back. "Now hush up. We only plan to stay the one night in town anyhow. You can't think there's that much fun to be had in town in one night."

Darlene's mind drifted instantly to what she had in mind for that one night. She knew of the fun she would be having. Unknowingly, she blushed as she brushed a bit of her long dark brown hair from the side of her face. She and Sherriff Harper had been intimate on many occasions through the past few years. She wouldn't call it anything serious, but he was a handsome man, and he was quite skilled when it came to sex. Darlene loved to fuck and there weren't a lot of men who could keep up with her, so it was always a pleasure when she found one who could last almost as long as she could. Darlene noticed her mind had started to wander, and snapped back to the present, but a thin smile had crept onto her face.

"Alright. Let's get a move on, I want to get there before sundown." Darlene snapped to Maddie, who sat in the wagon next to her.

Maddie made a gesture to Annie, just a little nod and two-fingered wave, followed by, "See ya in a couple days. Try not to let the whole place go to hell while I'm gone."

The tall, slender brunette made no reply, as usual, just a smile and a nod. While Annie was just as buxom as the other girls at the ranch, she was nowhere near as blustery as Maddie, nor as confident as Darlene. But she exuded a strong and imposing demeanor that almost anyone could pick up on after spending any sort of time with her. Annie had always been a woman of few words, and Darlene didn't need to hear any to notice a strong bond between her and Maddie developing over the two years they had both lived and worked at the ranch. Annie, in response to Maddie's gesture, placed both hands on the small of her back and arched heavily, making her large breasts protrude even farther from her rail thin body. Then she grabbed the small work gloves from her belt, turned away and walked toward the stables.

Trails of dust kicked up behind Darlene's horse and the old wagon Maddie drove as they made their down the long trail past the fences and the sign which hung on a wooden arch, stating "Double D Ranch". Abigail Mae stood on the porch, watching them until she could no longer make out their wagon in the distance. Occasionally, while passing by with a bale of hay Annie would see her still standing and staring off into the distance and shake her head and smile at the young blonde's youth and sense of wonder.

The ride would take them the better part of a day, and it started off nicely. Their bellies were full with a fine home-cooked breakfast, something they hadn't had much of before Abigail Mae joined the ranch. She was an amazing cook, and her skills seemed all the better compared to the poor fare Darlene had been able to craft. This was, in fact, the very topic of conversation they now engaged in. Maddie was rambling on and on about the biscuits and eggs and bacon and how terrible Darlene's cooking was when Darlene decided she'd heard enough. Darlene dug her heels into her horse and spurred it ahead. Her long dark brown hair flowed behind her as she sprinted out a bit ahead of the wagon, fully aware that Maddie wouldn't be able to keep up. As she slowed down to take up a steady pace well in advance of the wagon, she could faintly hear Maddie call out "I didn't mean no offense, boss!"

It wasn't Maddie's choice of topic that bothered her though. It was the thoughts on her mind about seeing the Sherriff again after so long. She had moved ahead so that she could have the ride and her thoughts to herself. She remembered the last time they were together; it had been months. The Sherriff had ridden out to the ranch to let them know some other ranchers had reported some wolf attacks. To be honest, it wasn't the sort of thing a Sherriff would normally ride out of town for. But she knew that wasn't his real reason. One of his deputies had come along, but it was clear when he introduced the boy that it wasn't the Sherriff's idea. The Sherriff stated his business and Darlene knew instantly how to respond. She offered the two a hot meal and a warm bed for the night. The deputy had tried to make some claim that they should be heading on to warn the next ranch over, but Sherriff Harper overruled him immediately.

The deputy had gone off with Annie to feed and water their horses and that had been the last of him Darlene had seen until the next morning. She would have seen him at supper, if she and the Sherriff had bothered to show. They had gone straight to her room and locked the door.

The look in his eyes was undeniable. The way he stared at her made her grow moist almost immediately. He had grabbed her and pulled her in close, kissing her deeply, like it was something he had dreamt of doing for ages. His bristly mustache scraped against her lips and tickled slightly. Their bodies parted just long enough for the Sherriff to tear open her blouse and took only a moment to take in the sight of her enormous breasts. They were very large, but also firm, and despite their size they did not seem to sag. The nipples stood erect and pointed directly forward practically calling out to him to press his face deep into her taught, tantalizing breasts. He took one of her large dark nipples in his mouth, his tongue playing around it, flicking back and forth. She let out a gentle moan of delight as his hand caressed her breast which was far too large to be encompassed by a single hand. He worked his fingers over one nipple as his mouth continued to work the other.

She pulled back away from him and there was a faint "pop" as her nipple slipped free of his mouth's suction. It wasn't that she disliked this, but she knew he would be at her tits for hours if she did not urge him on to other things. Her breasts had always had this effect on men. She'd been blessed with a tight, trim, and curvy body, but the size of her breasts had always taken men's attention. She pulled away from him, taking her shirt the rest of the way off and began to unfasten her pants.

"Surely, there's something you'd like to take off as well…" she said, glaring at the bulge in his pants. He took the hint immediately and nearly fell down trying to pull his trousers off in such a rush. As he steadied to pull the pants leg off over his foot, she went to her knees in front of him. She had one hand on each thigh and looked up into his eyes. "Now this is what I was waiting for," she said as she playfully gave the tip of his cock a quick lick. Her tongue only made a quick flick across the bulging head of his manhood, but it was enough for her to get a taste of his precum. She loved the taste of cum and it inflamed her passion all the more. She took the head of his cock in her mouth and rolled her tongue around it while sucking hard at its tip.

"Hello there!" a voice called out, breaking her from her memories. She looked ahead to see a rider on the road ahead of her, then she looked down to see that her hand was inside her pants. She had plunged it down between her thighs unknowingly and had begun playing with herself as her mind wandered. She pulled it out quickly, a dark wet spot covering her breeches and spilling onto her saddle. She quickly flicked the fingers of her riding glove across the saddlehorn, trying to rid her fingers of her juices in the case the man was insistent upon shaking hands with her.

She looked ahead at the man riding towards them and she slowed, allowing Maddie and the wagon to catch up to her before the man would reach them. Darlene knew from experience that not everyone on these roads had good intentions and if there was going to be trouble, she wanted Maddie right beside her. The woman was an imposing sight, normally enough to deter a lone man from trying anything foolish. But if he were dumb enough to instigate something, the red-head was more than able to back up any boasts her body made. While her breasts were large, as the other girls at the ranch, they were rounder, and firm and seemed almost like two large melons barely contained within the tight, white tank-top shirt she wore. The sleeveless shirt showed off her broad shoulders and well muscled arms. The shirt was so tight that it even clung to her stomach, allowing a trace of her abdominal muscles to be seen. Of course, most men would not let their eyes wander that far down, as the shirt was also so thin that Maddie's areola and nipple could almost entirely been seen through it. It wasn't Maddie's breasts that Darlene was banking on, however, it was her skills in a fight. Maddie had once told her that the reason she kept her red hair trimmed so short was that it was harder for people to pull on in a brawl. And Darlene knew that she had the experience to know what she was talking about.

The man slowed as he approached. He was a young man, and handsome. He had a bit of a scruffy beard from a few too many days without the luxury of a shave and was pretty well covered in grime from the trail, but that seemed to somehow add to his looks. Darlene greeted him politely, but kept one hand in a position to pull her pistol, should the need arise. "Howdy, stranger. Where ya headed?" she asked and noticed that it took him a second for his eyes to drift off of Maddie and onto her. And when his glance did strike her, it wasn't her face that it first focused on. He seemed to know just how long was too long to stare at her body and, before it became impolite, his eyes trailed up to meet her gaze.

"Oh, just passing through, heard there might be some work a couple towns over," the young man said. "Name's Bill Parker," he said, flashing a smile and smoldering deep blue eyes at each of the ladies.

He seemed nice enough, just another person trying to scrape by in tough times. Darlene soon decided they were in no danger from this man, but noticed that Maddie had never let her hand stray too far from the knife on her belt. The conversation took on the nature of idle chatter and Darlene began to tire of it, eager to get into town. Bill asked the two if they knew of a decent watering hole for his horse, and Darlene told him he'd be welcome to stop off at her ranch for a rest. With a nod of the hat, the two women took their leave and pressed on towards town.

As the distance grew between the young man and the two women, Maddie spoke up. "Are you sure that was a good idea, boss?"

"What's that?" Darlene asked.

"Telling him to head to the Double D? I don't like the looks of him."

"You don't like the looks of him? I thought he was damned handsome, myself."

"He was, and that's what I don't like. No man that pretty should be out riding alone." Maddie spat out with a harsh tone which almost made Darlene laugh. "What if he's got some evil on his mind?"

"He was bound to come up on the ranch anyhow if he kept headin' that way. And Annie can damn sure take care of the likes of him. I can't believe the girls would be in any sorta trouble. Especially not with Annie there, and especially from a man that pretty," Darlene said smirking.

The rest of the morning's ride was uneventful. A quick stop around noon allowed them to eat the basket meal Abigail Mae had packed them and then they were back on their way. After lunch Maddie started talking about the quality of the food again, but this time Darlene decided she'd stay alongside the wagon. She didn't want to be caught unawares again.

The next few hours rolled by. Maddie told tales of fighting and fucking to while away the time. She told of the time she'd punched out a preacher who had grabbed her tits. "Right there on the street as I was tying up my horse! For all the world, and God to see. I broke his nose and the blood ruined that pretty little collar of his. Just cuz these here tits are so damned fantastic that they are clearly the work of God himself, don't mean His servants got the right to go inspectin' the handiwork!" And she told of the time she'd fucked the shopkeep's son. "I rode him so hard all night he was in no condition to balk when I walked out with a whole case of whiskey. Never heard no complaints off him though. Reckon he figured it was worth it. He had a nice pecker, too. Not too big, long-ish, but not overly so, pretty thick. Damn thing got rock hard, though. I mean you could bounce a penny off it. And that boy could cum. He'd shoot a big ol' load and you'd think he was done, then I'd shake my tits in his face, or give his cock one little tug and that thing would just sit straight up again, hard as a rock. So, I just kept on fuckin' him till it quit poppin' back up. That took me most of the night, and I imagine it's why he had such a hard time rousing in the mornin'"

Finally, the ride was over and the two rolled into town. Maddie pulled the wagon up to the front Ed Gerber's General Store. As Darlene dismounted, she said "I'm gonna go ahead and pay up for the feed and supplies with old Ed. Then I'm gonna head over to the Inn and get us a room for the night. You get the horses tended to. And don't get too rowdy tonight, I want you to load all this stuff up first thing in the morning so we can be off and back to the Double D."

"Sure thing, boss." Maddie replied.

"And I may stop by the Sherriff's Office and see if there's any news."

"Of course, boss." Maddie said with a knowing smile on her face.
