Erika

It was hard to keep my mind on my tasks: Erika filled my thoughts. I nearly got a speeding ticket rushing home.

Erika greeted me with a warm kiss and told me to head to the table. She handed me a steaming mug of coffee and dished something warm and gooey looking on my plate. She stood back and looked at me expectantly.

I tried a bite and was pleasantly surprised. I smiled and nodded my approval and took a bigger mouthful. She grinned broadly and fixed her plate.

"This is one of my mother's recipes: it has potatoes, onions, bell peppers, ham, eggs, and cheese!"

I made her morning when I took a second helping.

I came up behind her as she washing dishes. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her neck. She reached behind my head and caressed my face.

"I'll do these later," I said as I pulled her away.

Last night, I'd taken her quickly: I hadn't spent any time exploring her body or giving her pleasure. I didn't give her an orgasm. I wasn't even sure she'd ever had on before!

Erica chose one of Mom's simple front button dresses she liked to wear when she worked around the house. Funny, it looked perfect on Erika. She looked more like a country girl than the Goth chick I first met. As she led me upstairs, she walked with an exaggerated sway to her narrow hips. I followed slowly, entranced by the view.

She sat on the edge of the bed and leaned back, licking her lips. I knew what she wanted, and, to tell the truth, I wanted the same thing! I unzipped my jeans and freed my cock. She leaned over and took me into her mouth and ran her hands along my side.

Damn! She was a talented cocksucker! Each blowjob was a little different than the previous one! This time, she ran her lips along the side of my shaft. Her tongue explored my slit as her lips barely encompassed the head. She gripped the shaft and stroked rapidly while lightly sucking the head. When I came, she swallowed every drop!

Erika stood and slowly unbuttoned the dress, swaying to some music only she could hear. As she let the dress fall, I could see she was naked underneath. The morning light coming through the window caressed her pale, smooth skin.

Other than the roses I'd seen at the top of her breasts, the only ones on her front were two hearts in the hollows of her hips. I'd seen the rose vines with buds along the sides of her legs. These curled to follow her bottom and joined at the base of her spine before travelling up her back, ending on her neck.

"Run your fingers along the vines and see what happens!" she teased. "Better still, run your lips along them!"

She lay on her side, her back to me. I lay behind her and kissed her neck. I reached down and traced the vine on her leg up to her hip and back down. She shivered under my caresses.

I moved down to her ankle and began kissing and nibbling my way up her leg. I could hear her breathing grow shallow and rapid. I rolled her onto her stomach when I reached her bottom. Erika squirmed as I kissed up her spine. She was ticklish! I kissed my way back down and explored the other leg.

I rolled her onto her back and moved up to kiss her. She parted her lips and accepted my probing tongue. The way she responded to my kisses showed how starved she was for natural affection! The months on her own had to have been extremely lonely.

I felt guilty, and Erika must have read my mind.

She smiled at me and said, "I want this. I want you!"

"Are you sure?"

"I have never been surer about anything in my life!"

We resumed kissing, and as I explored her mouth with my tongue, I reached between her legs and caressed her mound. She arched her back as I slipped a finger inside her moist lower lips. I soon had her writhing as an orgasm racked her body. I eased up until her body relaxed.

"Why did you stop??" she cried. "That felt wonderful!"

"Because what I am about to do will feel even better!"

I moved down until my lips were brushing aside her folds. I flicked the tip of my tongue over her clit, eliciting a gasp of delight from her. I reached under legs and back around to grab her thighs and hold her legs apart.

Erika ran her fingers through my hair as I licked and kissed around her pussy. As her button emerged from its hood, I lightly nibbled and sucked it. Erika pulled my head closer and my mouth covered her mound.

She arched her back again as another orgasm wracked her body.

"Wait! Wait!" she pleaded.

I kissed my way up her stomach and sucked her small breasts, then moved up to her lips. I wanted her to taste herself on my lips.

I lined my cock against her opening and pushed gently. She was still tight, but I slid in easily. She wrapped her legs around my hips as I gently thrust into her. She rolled her hips to match my thrusts. I had never fucked a woman as tight as Erika was. I soon filled her with my load.

We lay there, and held each other close. As we talked, I realized that I was falling in love with Erika. I only met her a few weeks ago, but, I felt I'd known her all my life!

We'd spent the remainder of the morning and part of the afternoon in bed. I lay there listening to rain hitting the roof. I'd seen the weather reports and knew I wouldn't have to worry about the cattle. Erika was tracing outlines on my chest.

"I want to ride!" Erika declared.

I smiled, and said, "Amy doesn't like wet weather."

"Not Amy! I was thinking of riding a stallion!"

"Badger won't let you ride him!"

She straddled my hips and said with a grin, "You idiot! I'm talking about riding you!"

She knelt between my legs and took me into her mouth again. I'd already come twice today: I wasn't sure I was ready, but she had me erect quickly!

Erika guided me into her and slid down hard. She began riding me like she was on a rocking horse. I ran my hands along her sides and played with her breasts. Her movements had me hitting different parts of her pussy.

I lay back and watched her. Her eyes were closed, as she was listening to whatever music was plying in her head. She was beautiful! She continued to ride me long after I'd come, and my cock slipped out. She came out of her daze, slightly confused.

I could tell she wasn't ready to stop riding, but I was spent for a while.

"Erika, straddle my face: ride my tongue for a while!"

Erika grabbed the headboard and lowered herself onto my mouth. She had the rich smell of a woman recently fucked. She kept up enough that I had to strain to reach her with the tip of my tongue. As she relaxed, she lowered herself further on my tongue I was now lightly probing her opening,

She continued lowering herself until her mound covered my mouth. She began rocking back and forth as I licked her. I cupped her small bottom as she rode my mouth. When I felt her tensing to come. I pulled her tight against me worked my tongue faster.

As each wave hit her, she tried to pull away. The longer I held her, the more intense her orgasms were. She may have had four or five in rapid succession before she collapsed into my arms.

"Wow!" was all she said.

Every morning started with Erika sucking me a few minutes. Every night found us intertwined. Every day saw Erika becoming a permanent fixture.

Erika took to bathing Riley, Ben, and Sally weekly. She brushed Amy nearly every afternoon. She even managed to get Badger to let her touch him. Life was easier on the ranch with her helping, but, Erika didn't seem as happy as she used to be.

One day, I found Erika crying. She was not yet twenty, sometimes she still acted like a teenager. It took a lot of coaxing to get her to open up.

"I have to leave," she said.

"Who says you have to go?"

"It's nice staying here, but I think it's time to get a place of my own. I can't live off your generosity forever!"

"You don't have to go: I don't want you to leave!"

"Why? I have nothing here: it all belongs to you!"

"It could belong to both of us."

"How?"

"Well ...you could stay and be my wife."

Erika just stared at me as she tried to grasp my meaning.

"I love you Erika. Will you marry me?"

"I need time to think."

"Take all the time you need."

The following week was misery for me. Erika moved back to the spare room. She spent a lot of her time out back with Riley. She was pleasant enough, but all the things to which I'd grown accustomed stopped.

While I missed the sex, I found I missed her company more. She brightened the drive to and from work. Being with me made chores easier. Sharing meals dispelled the loneliness.

On Saturday, I let her take the truck. I rode Badger to the pasture to work. All day, I thought about Erika working by my side, about her learning to ride Amy, about her fondness towards Riley. Erika loved the ranch. She loved the animals. She blossomed under all the hard work. She was confident in her abilities, now.

Erika came out at 1:30 and brought me lunch and a couple of beers. She stayed a few minutes, then said she needed to return to the house. Those few minutes greatly cheered me: her leaving brought all the sadness back.

I returned to the house around 5:30 and found Erika working in the flowerbeds. She'd pulled all the weeds, added fresh topsoil, and planted a wide variety of flowers. One flower bed now had roses. She was smiling as she hugged me.

"I hope you don't mind. If I'm going to live here, I want lots and lots of flowers!"

I just stared at her like the idiot I am.

"That means 'Yes', dearest," she said. "I will marry you!"

Three months later, as she rode me, she asked, "Does Riley like kids?"

"He likes you!"

She hit me with a pillow, and asked, "Do you like kids? And no wise crack about me!"

Recognition dawned upon me.

"I'm pregnant: you're going to be a father."

My stupid grin must have been really big. Erika smiled back at me and snuggled close.
