Julia arrives at the ranch and notice the more people is just arriving, like {{user}}. Hi, {{user}}, what a good surprise to see you, I think we don’t see each other for what. a decade now? How have you been?
I smile and hug Julia. “Wow, has it been that long? We really should do these reunions more often!”
Well, I'm doing fine. I just got out of my marriage and now I'm focusing on my career only. How about you?
I motion with my head for her to follow me over to the porch. "We should catch up properly in a minute, but first..." I hand her a glass of wine. "Southern French Pino Noir. It's been sitting out here on ice all day... thought you might appreciate it."
I smile warmly at my cousin and raise my own glass to hers. "
“So, tell me more about this career of yours that you’re focusing on. Has it been a good change of pace?” We sit in a nearby bench swing as she tells me her story.
Well, I have my own firm now. It was quite the challenge to start it but it is going really well. I specialize in business law, so if you need help or advice, count on me! But enough about work... tell me what are you up to!
“Sounds exciting!” I take a sip of wine before setting down the glass. “I’m doing pretty well. Just graduated from veterinary school last spring. Now I’m working in a clinic that specializes in helping sick or neglected horses.”
That must be really fulfilling! I always though you had something with animals... it is nice to see that you followed your passion. And how is the rest of the family? Are they all fine?
“Yeah, Mom and Dad are enjoying retirement, traveling Europe. Tina just had her second kid over the summer. I’m dating this one girl…she’s really nice. We’ll see how that goes.” I smile at her. “How about you? Sorry things didn’t work out with what’s-his-name.”
Well, it was bound to end at some point... but I am happy that we both can enjoy this family gathering without any drama. And you know what? This girl you are dating sounds really sweet! You should bring her here next time.
I laugh. “Well, if she’s still with me when we do this again in ten years, you’ll know she’s a keeper.”
I giggle at her joke. "Well, I hope so! At least you found someone nice. And I can tell that she must be really special if you are willing to bring her here."
I take a sip of wine and look around the ranch. The weather is perfect for this time of year, and it's great to see all my family members together. "You know, Cliff... you should consider coming back to NYC. There's always room for someone as talented as you."
“Oh? And do what? I can’t imagine there are many sick horses in New York.”
I grin at him and give his shoulder a playful shove. "Oh, come on! There are plenty of animals that need help in the city, and you could always work with horses at the stables around here. You'd be surprised how many people would love to have someone like you working for them."
I take another sip of wine and look over at my cousin. He really is quite handsome when he's smiling like that. "And besides, it's not all about work.
I lean back and rest my arm on the beck of the swing. “Really? What else is it about “
Well, there are always parties... and you know how I love to dance. And we could always explore the city together... find new places, try new things. And who knows? Maybe you'll meet someone special while you're here.
“Hmm…not sure my girlfriend would appreciate that.” I kick the swing back and the both of us start to sway in the bench.
I laugh softly at his joke. "Oh, come on...you never know what might happen when you let your guard down." I take another sip of wine and lean back against the swing, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my skin. "You should really consider it, Cliff. New York is an amazing city, and there's so much to explore here."
I shake my head. “Nah, I could never afford a place in New York.”
"Well, you know... there are always options. You could always look into sharing an apartment with someone or even finding a job that provides housing." I pause for a moment, considering my words carefully before adding, "I might even be able to help you find something if you're interested."
I glance over at Julia. “Are you a real estate agent now? Wow, Julia, I knew you were talented, but is there anything you can’t do?”
I laugh softly at his joke. "Well, I might not be a real estate agent, but I know people in the business and I could definitely put some feelers out for you." Then, more seriously, I add, "But really, Cliff...if you ever want to give New York a try, I'd be happy to help you find your way around. And maybe we could even explore things together."
I take another sip of wine and look up at him with a warm smile.
I consider her words as she locks eyes with me. “Maybe…maybe you can start by showing me around this ranch?”
Smiling, I take another sip of wine before putting down the glass. "Of course," I say softly, feeling a thrill run through me at the thought of spending more time with my cousin. "The ranch is beautiful this time of year, and there's so much to see."
I motion for him to follow me as I stand up from the swing. "Come on, let's go for a walk."
I pause to refill my glass before following Julia off the patio.
As we walk through the ranch, I point out various landmarks and tell Cliff stories about my childhood here. The sun is starting to set now, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, casting a warm glow over everything. It's absolutely breathtaking.
"So," I say after a moment, "what do you think? Would you ever consider moving back east?"
“I think it’s beautiful here,” I whisper, forcing myself to look at the sky when Julia glances over. “I mean, I don’t know…I hardly know anyone back east.”
I smile understandingly and squeeze his arm gently. "Well, you have me now," I say with a wink. "And we can always make new friends together." Then, more seriously, I add, "But really...think about it. New York is an amazing city, and there's so much to experience here. You never know what might happen if you give it a chance."
We walk on in silence for a while, enjoying the evening air and each other's company.
“I suppose that’s true. You never know what might happen until you give something a chance…” I look down at Julia’s body, seeing her in a different light than I had before. “Julia, show me around the inside of the ranch house, why don’t you.”
"Of course," I say with a grin as I lead him into the main house. The interior is just as beautiful as the exterior, with rustic furniture and cozy touches everywhere. As we walk through the living room and into the kitchen, I tell him stories about different pieces of furniture or family heirlooms that are scattered around.
Eventually, we end up in my favorite part of the house: the library. The shelves are filled with books on law and various other subjects, as well as some personal favorites.
“It’s beautiful!” I say, looking around the library. “I can see why you love it here. But…won’t you show me your bedroom as well?” I smile coolly at her.
I feel a blush creeping up my cheeks as he asks me that. My bedroom is very personal space for me, but I don't want to seem rude or uncomfortable with him. "Well...if you really want to see it," I say slowly, leading the way down the hall.
The room is simple yet cozy, with a small reading nook by the window and a comfortable king-size bed in the center of the room. There are several framed photos on the dresser, mostly from my time in New York City.
“Mmm, it smells so nice in here.” I glance around. “Such a big bed. I imagine you could fit a second person in there.”
I smile slightly at his comment, not sure how to take it. "Well, I don't know about that...but it is comfortable." Then, trying to change the subject, I ask him, "So, what do you think of the ranch so far? Do you still see yourself staying in Colorado?"
I step closer to him and rest a hand on his shoulder, feeling the tension in his body begin to ease. It's strange how comfortable he seems with me now.
“I’m warming up to the idea.” I take a step closer to Julia, staring into her eyes as if they were a window to her soul. “What do you think I should do?”
I smile softly at him and gently take his hand in mine. "Well, only you can decide that. But I think if you give it some thought, really think about what it is you want out of life...you'll know where you belong." Then, more playfully, I add, "And who knows? Maybe New York will still be an option for you someday."
I lean in closer to him and brush a strand of hair from his forehead. "You never know what might happen,"
I lean in closer to him and brush a strand of hair from his forehead. "You never know what might happen," I whisper, our faces just inches apart now. My heart is racing as I feel the weight of my words hanging in the air between us. For a moment, I wonder if maybe I've crossed a line...but then again, it feels so right to be this close to him.
I can feel his breath on my cheek, and I know that he's thinking about what I said.
“No, you don’t…that’s why you always have to seize the moment. Live for the today. Find what you want and…go for it. Am I right?” I wink at her.
I smile and lean in even closer, feeling the heat of his breath on my lips. "You are definitely right," I whisper, closing the distance between us and pressing my lips softly against his. As our mouths meet, a spark ignites inside me, spreading through every fiber of my being.
I wrap my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss as he responds with equal passion. Cliff's hands find their way to my waist, pulling me even closer against him.
I moan into her mouth. “Mmm, I know what I want…”
I feel a shiver run down my spine as he whispers those words into my ear. It's like every nerve ending in my body is on fire, craving more of him. I reach up and tangle my fingers in his hair, pulling him even closer to me. My heart is racing, my breath coming in short gasps as our kisses become increasingly urgent.
I feel his hands slide up my back, cupping the curve of my ass through my yoga pants. The sensation sends a jolt of desire shooting through me, making it difficult to think about anything else. I arch into him, pressing myself against his hard length as he continues to kiss me with an intensity that leaves me breathless.
With one final groan, Cliff pulls away from the kiss and looks down at me, eyes dark with desire. "You're unbelievable,"
I smile up at him, breathing heavily. "So... what do you want to do now?" My voice comes out husky, barely more than a whisper. I feel so hot and needy right now, and I'm not sure how much longer I can last with just his hands on me like this.
I feel a heat coursing through my body that I’ve never felt before. “I want to close and lock that bedroom door. And then we’ll see what happens.”
I glance over at the door as he says this, my heart racing with anticipation. "Alright," I breathe out, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness bubble up inside me. Taking his hand in mine, I lead him across the room and shut the bedroom door behind us.
With Cliff standing mere inches away from me now, I can feel the heat emanating off his body. My heart is pounding so hard in my chest that it feels like it might burst free at any moment.
I take a shaky breath, trying to compose myself as my heart races and I feel the desire welling up inside me. Looking up at him through my eyelashes, I reach out and slowly begin to unbutton his shirt, revealing more and more of his toned chest.
As the last button comes undone, I slip my hands inside his shirt, feeling the warmth of his skin against my fingertips. Cliff moans softly, arching into me as I touch him in this intimate way.
I pull her body in closer. “It feels so good having you touch me this way.” I kiss her again, our tongues sliding against each other in a frenzied dance of raw passion.
I feel the heat building between us as we kiss, and I can tell that he's just as turned on as I am. With shaking hands, I begin to work at unbuttoning his jeans, finally revealing his hard length beneath. My mouth goes dry at the sight of him and I lean forward, wrapping my lips around him through his underwear in a hungry kiss that sends waves of desire coursing through my body.
“Ohhhhhh Julia…”
I moan into his briefs as I feel him growing harder in my mouth. I tease him with gentle sucking motions, occasionally flicking my tongue against the sensitive tip before taking more of him inside. My hands find their way down to his hips, pulling him even closer against me as I continue to pleasure him orally.
“Julia,” I whisper. “I think it’s time to find out what we can do in that king sized bed of yours.”
With a muffled moan, I pull away from his hard length, breathing heavily. "Alright," I whisper, my voice barely above a whisper. "Let's find out."
I guide him over to the bed and climb onto the mattress, spreading my legs invitingly as he follows me down.
I kneel down between her legs and kiss her through her yoga pants.
My breath catches in my throat as he kisses me there, his lips sending sparks of desire coursing through every nerve ending in my body. I arch into him, letting out a soft moan as he continues to tease me with his tongue and mouth. His touch feels so good, so intimate...I can't help but think how amazing it would be if he was really inside of me right now.
With shaking hands, I reach down and unfasten my pants, sliding them off along with my underwear.
As she exposes herself to me, I continue kissing her, using my tongue to part her folds and suck on her most sensitive region.
I cry out, arching into him as he touches me like this. "Oh my god...that feels so good..." I moan, my hips moving restlessly against his mouth. My whole body is on fire with desire for him, and I can't help but wonder what it would feel like to have him inside of me right now.
I slide my hands into his hair, holding him close as he pleasures me in this incredible way. "Don't stop...please don't stop..."
“I am at your command,” I say, forcing my tongue inside her, plunging it deeper and deeper with each thrust.
"Ohhhh...yeah..." I moan, arching my back off the bed as his tongue continues to stroke me expertly. I can feel myself getting closer and closer to the edge, the need growing more intense by the second. "I want you inside me...right now..." I whisper hoarsely, grabbing his shoulders for support.
I look up at her. “You mean…like, my manhood? Is that…okay?”
"Yes...your manhood..." I groan as he continues to touch me in this incredible way. "I need it inside of me." My words are barely more than a whisper as I writhe beneath him, my body begging for release.
I kneel up straight, my cock straining to escape my underpants. “But I’m your cousin.”
"Yes...and?" I pant, my breath coming in ragged gasps as I watch him move up the bed. "I want you." My hands find their way down to his hips, tugging at his underwear until they come off with a low snap. His cock springs free and jerks upward toward me, glistening in the dim light of the room.
I reach out and grasp him in my hand, stroking him slowly from base to tip as I look up into his eyes. "Please...Cliff..."
My cock is twitching in her hands. “Well fuck, Julia, I want you too…but, are you sure we should…”
I smile up at him and stroke him slowly again. "Are you scared of me?" I tease. "You've never thought of me that way before...not like this." My other hand finds its way to his chest, tracing circles around the fabric of his shirt. "But it's okay if we just stop now...if you're not ready..."
“It is?”
"It is," I insist softly as I guide his hand down between my legs. "You can take your time...explore me." My breath catches in my throat as he brushes against my clit with the pad of his thumb, sending a jolt of pleasure coursing through me.
I look up at him again, my eyes locked onto his as I wait for him to decide what we should do next.
I stare down at her, unable to douse the flames of desire. “I can’t stop,” I whisper, my voice hoarse.
"Then don't," I breathe out as he positions himself at my entrance. "Make love to me." His cock presses against me, slick with our combined moisture. He pushes gently and I cry out, feeling him slide easily inside of me.
With a groan, Cliff begins to thrust slowly, drawing his hips back before pushing forward again. The sensation is unbelievable; so tight and hot around him. "Oh god...Julia..."
I arch my back off the bed as he thrusts into me, matching his rhythm with my own moans of pleasure. I feel so full of him, so connected on this most basic level. Our bodies move together in perfect harmony, creating a dance that is both passionate and tender.
With each stroke, Cliff pushes deeper inside of me, claiming more and more of my body as his own. His hands find their way to my hips, holding me close as he takes what he wants without reservation or hesitation.
“Is this okay,” I moan, thrusting harder and harder.
I cry out, my body tensing as the pleasure begins to build inside of me. "Yes...yes, it's perfect." I arch my back off the bed again, feeling the weight of his body pressing down on mine as he continues to thrust into me with an urgency that only serves to heighten the sensation.
"Cliff..." I moan, my voice hoarse from exertion and desire. "I'm close...I need you to...I need..."
Unable to resist any longer, I pull her bra up and off her breasts, massaging them both with my hands. “So perfect,” I say, hammering my body into hers over and over.
"Oh god..." I cry out, arching off the bed as my release washes over me in a powerful wave of pleasure. My body convulses around him, milking his cock with each spasm. "Cliff..." I whimper, feeling dizzy and lightheaded from the intensity of it all.
He continues to thrust into me, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he nears his own climax.
“Yeah Julia?” I say, exerting all my effort to hold out as long as I possibly can.
"Don't stop...please..." My voice is barely more than a whisper as he continues to thrust into me, his movements growing increasingly erratic and desperate. I can feel him getting closer and closer, the head of his cock pressing against my sweet spot with each thrust.
My breath comes in short, ragged gasps as I struggle to maintain my focus on the sensations wracking through my body. "Cliff..." I moan softly, arching up off the bed again as he pushes deeper inside of me.
“Let’s do this together,” I say with ragged breath.
I feel him stiffen inside of me as he releases his seed deep within my body. "Oh god..." I moan as the intense sensation washes over me, sending waves of pleasure coursing through every nerve ending in my body. My orgasm crashes down on top of his, my muscles clamping tight around him as I ride out the most incredible climax I've ever experienced.
As the last tremors subside, we collapse together onto the bed, our breath coming in ragged gasps. "Cliff,"
I roll to the side, breathing heavily. “Yeah?”
"That...was amazing." I reach out to touch his cheek, feeling the stubble there. "I mean it. This is just..." My voice trails off as I try to find the words to describe how I'm feeling right now.
He smiles up at me and kisses my fingertips. "You're amazing," he whispers before pulling me into a deep, passionate kiss that leaves us both breathless once more.
We spend the rest of the night tangled up in each other's arms, talking and laughing about our lives back home and what brought us both out here to Colorado. As the moon sets and dawn begins to creep across the sky, we finally drift off to sleep, wrapped tightly around one another like two halves of a whole.
When I wake up later that morning, Cliff is already gone. He's left me a note saying he went for a run and will be back in time for breakfast.
As I stretch and yawn, the memories of last night come flooding back into my mind. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced before, and it leaves me feeling a little...off-balance. Not in a bad way, per se, but like the world has shifted slightly beneath my feet and I'm not entirely sure where I stand anymore.
I wonder how Cliff feels about all of this. Is he as conflicted as I am? Or is he just going with the flow, enjoying whatever happens next without a care in the world?
I decide not to dwell on it too much this morning. There's no point in worrying about things that haven't even happened yet. Instead, I focus on getting ready for the day and making sure everything is perfect for when Cliff gets back from his run. After all, there's still plenty of time to explore what could happen between us...if we let it.
