continues, “You met Stump earlier. His
real name is Clarence Kincaid Jr. but Jesse calls him Rance.”
I place my arms around Stump and hug him
warmly. “Thank you so much. I would be dead if not for you.” Then I
place a warm kiss on his cheek.
Stump turns bright red and says, “It was my
pleasure ma’am. I was happy to assist Pinky in his endeavor to
rescue you.”
Pinky continues, “And last but not least is
the ranch foreman, Bud Wilkes and his wife, Mary. Bud is also a
former Marine and assisted us on several operations before he
retired to work twice as hard on this ranch.”
I smile and turn back toward the whole group,
“It’s really nice to meet all of you.”
After Pinky has introduced me to everyone we
all head to the huge dining room for a sumptuous meal prepared by
the women. I can’t believe the house. The dining room looks to me
to be more the size of a ballroom. It is gigantic. And on the way
to the dining room I saw an indoor pool and two more bedrooms
besides mine and that is just on the first floor. Everything is so
opulent I am amazed that someone actually lives here. It’s the kind
of house I often read about in magazines but I never believed
people really lived in something so nice. Barry Farrady must be
very wealthy.
Over dinner, each of the residents of the
Rock Springs Ranch tells me how they ended up living here. I am
fascinated by the various stories and also comforted to know that I
am not the only one here who has had a less than normal life.
After dinner everyone heads to the indoor
pool area for coffee and conversation while all of the children
swim. I am amazed at the warm welcome I feel from everyone present.
Finally everyone goes to their various homes leaving Keith alone
with me. We return to the great room where sitting on the sofa next
to me, his arm across the back, he asks, “Well, how do you like it
here so far?”
“Everyone is so nice! They have certainly
made me feel welcome and it is nice to know I am not the only one
here with a less than normal background. You’re going to have to
tell me the details of everyone’s story sometime.”
Smiling Keith says, “They’re all very
special. I’ve been really blessed to have such good friends.” Keith
reaches with his hand to straighten the collar on my blouse and I
jump away from him raising my arms to deflect the anticipated blow.
Appalled he says, “I’m so sorry, Jasmine, I didn’t mean to frighten
you!”
Tears springing to my eyes when I realize
what happened. “Oh Keith, I am so sorry! It was just a reflex. I
... I ... oh God!” Horrified, the tears run down my face and I bury
my face in my hands sobbing.
He places his arms around me pulling me
across his lap and then gently pulls my head to his chest and says,
“It’s all right Jasmine. I understand. Really, I do. You know I
would never hit you, don’t you?”
Sniffling I reply, “I know and I am so sorry!
Please forgive me. I need help Keith. I will never get past this
without help.”
“I know Sweetheart, I know. I’ll talk to
Jesse and we’ll work it out. I promise,” answers Keith. He
continues to hold me close while I cry. When I am finally quiet he
places his hand under my chin and raises my face to his. Lowering
his head he gently brushes his lips against mine. Raising his head
and gazing warmly into my eyes he asks, “Would you mind if I kiss
you Jasmine?”
In answer I raise my arms around his neck and
pull his head down to mine opening my lips for his invasion. As he
plunges his tongue into depths of my mouth, I hear him moan with
pleasure and he pulls me closer.
He is drowning in her unique flavor gently
stroking his tongue against hers. It has been so long, so very
long. His heart is pounding heavily and he moves his hand up her
side and cups her luscious breast squeezing gently. Moving his lips
from her mouth down the graceful curve of her neck he can feel the
tight bud of her nipple pressing against his palm and he longs
