Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2013 00:24:01 -0400 From: Whipp Livingston Subject: Heading West Part 4 Heading West Part 4 By: Whipp Livingston It was the following morning and Cody was lying awake next to Moses. His body ached from the night before from the wild sex they had and it was well worth it he thought as he kept eyeing up the big beautiful black cock. He reached out and grasped it in one hand as he still could not believe that a cock as big as that was all the way inside him. It was huge! And yet he couldn't wait till it was deep inside him again. He couldn't help but to reach out and take it into his hand, barely wrapping his fingers around the thick black shaft and started to stroke it. He not only watched it get hard he felt it too. The heft of it was heavy in his hand. Moses stirred in his sleep, as the touch was waking him. He stretched his muscled body and groaned in the process and yawned. He lies there with his arms tucked under his head, smiling as he was allowing Cody to stroke him as he was enjoying the pleasure. They didn't say anything to each other as their looks said it all. Cody shifted and he was kneeling beside Moses on the bed, still stroking the massive black cock in his hand. He leaned in and softly breathed on the head of it, his blue eyes staring directly into Moses' brown ones. He stuck out his tongue and began licking the head of it and sucked it into his mouth and letting his tongue swirl around the head of it, causing Moses to let out a soft moan. Moses loved the feeling of the tight velvety wet throat flesh wrapped around his pulsating black snake, throwing his head back in total ecstasy. "Mmmmmm baby boy, you do that so good," he said low and raspy. Cody just purred happily with a mouthful of cock in his mouth as he licked and sucked on the head of the massive black member. He pumped the growing cock with both hands, licking and sucking on it as it dripped copiously with its juices, finding it to be tasteful and yet satisfying. "Fuck!" groaned Moses, pulling his cock from Cody's talented mouth. "Ya gunna make me blow!" Cody gulped down some much needed air as the long hard cock slipped from between his pink lips. A thick coating of spit clung to the huge black cock as long wet strings of saliva went from Cody's lips to the wet and shiny cockhead before taking it back down into his throat once again as gobs of warm spit oozed from the corners of his drooling mouth. "You want this big cock back inside you again boy," Moses grinned at him. Moses had no intentions of losing his load down Cody's throat. Cody let the wet and slimy cock fall from his mouth and was lying on his stomach before Moses even finished speaking. Moses moved over him and forced Cody's legs open with his own legs, spreading them wide. He leaned back and pushed his cockhead to the puckered rosebud and shoved it inside. Once inside him, Moses leaned forward, his huge muscular arms holding him up and pushed more into him. "Ohhhhh yeahhhh!" Cody moaned softly and purred with pleasure and he lifted his ass up and pushed back as more slid further into him. "Yeahhhh!" moaned Moses, loving the way Cody's asshole pulsed and flexed around his huge cock, quickly getting used to being invaded again. "Mmmmmm, I love your tight hole baby boy," he cooed into Cody's ear in his deep voice and then shoving his tongue deep into his ear and kissed it. Cody gasped as he felt the sudden surge of pleasure rip through his entire body when Moses shoved his tongue into his ear. He felt his ass stretching wide as Moses pushed more of his black cock into him and he moaned softly. He lifted his head off the pillow and his eyes were closed and his mouth gaping open like a baby bird being fed by its mother as he moaned a little more louder. Moses had his head bowed, staring intently at the place that connected them together. He had only a few inches inside Cody and had lots more to go, but to Cody it seemed like a lot more than just several inches. But when Moses sensed he had enough of his black cock inside him, he took a slight moment to relax, than in one quick long thrust he was deep inside Cody. "UUUHHH!!!" Cody screamed out in passion. His eager eyes nearly pop out of his head as Moses drove his more than foot-long rock hard black cock deep into his hungry bottom. Moses does this over and over for a few minutes as he pulled almost all the way out and slamming his cock back inside, power-fucking Cody into oblivion. Cody could feel the long hard black snake sliding through him, pulling almost all the way out then sliding it back in balls deep, tearing up his eager and hungry backside as it moved deep into him, taking control as it slid in and out between his pale white cheeks and stretching his insides with every hard forceful thrust. He was so caught up in the fiery passion of it all that he shivers with excitement as shakes his head and the wide grin on his sweaty face beams with gratifying pleasure. "Yeahhhh! Yeahhhh! Oh fuck me!" Cody cries out with every deep and pounding thrust, his eyes widen every time as if they are going to pop out of his head and in an instant his cock erupts beneath him, sending his cum all over Moses' bedding. Moses huge sweaty body glistens from the early morning sun shining in the window. He rips his cock from Cody's ass and roughly flipped him over onto his back and shoved his huge cock back inside and proceeded to fuck Cody long and hard. Cody gasped out loud from the sudden thrust into him, but lay pinned under Moses' huge muscular body as he pounded every inch of his cock straight up his ass. Moses was like a stallion, fucking the hell out of Cody. Cody stared up at him, tears of joy escaping the corners of his eyes as he was getting his ass fucked big time. Moses tossed his head back as his eyes fluttered, trying to hold off his orgasm for a few more strokes before he finally shoved in balls deep and yelled. "Here comes my juice baby boy!" Moses roared in his deep voice, shooting several thick gushing streams of his seed into Cody. Cody could feel the mighty black cock pumping into him, shooting an intense load of warm liquid into him and sensing it was a lot flowing into him. The cock inside him seemed to go on twitching forever he thought as it emptied into him. Breathless, Moses slumped onto Cody heavily. Then realizing his weight was crushing him, Moses rolled off him and onto his back, throwing an arm over his head. His broad, hard, ebony chest was heaving up and down as he was breathing heavily and grinning happily from ear to ear. As soon as Moses was on his back, Cody instantly was lying on top of him and smiling down at him, his body light as a feather compared to Moses. The barely noticeable hairs on Moses chest felt like bristles against Cody's bare skin and it almost tickled him. "Whew! Moses you sure are awesome!" Cody grinned. "Yo not so bad yo-self baby boy," Moses grinned back. The week ended as quickly as it began and that Friday, Mack made it back home. For his own sake, Cody reluctantly ended his tryst with Moses the Wednesday night before Mack made it home and Moses made it a night that Cody would never forget after another fantastic fuck. Once Mack was home, he and Cody were going at it like jack rabbits. Mack had missed being with Cody for a week and a half and needed to bury his thick long cock into the moist cavity where he would unload several sizable loads of his semen. Moses had become instantly jealous and wanted Cody just as much as Mack did but he and Cody played it safe so that Mack wouldn't catch on that they too were having their way with each other as well and kept their secret rendezvous to themselves, but Mack sensed something between the two of them as he realized Cody and Moses friendship had deepened while he was away. The summer heat was unbearable that year but it wasn't enough to cause a drought like most summers in the Midwest. Mack, Cody, and Moses worked hard keeping the ranch going as they fought the heat from the afternoon sun and by the end of the day their clothes stuck fast to their sweaty hot bodies. On a particular scorching hot day, the heat from the afternoon sun was more than they could handle. There was not much to do on the ranch since all the work was done early and Cody and Moses decided to go the swimming hole to cool off while Mack decided to stay behind and make sure the animals had plenty of water. The swimming hole was just beyond a wooded area which was a short distance from the ranch and was well shaded but the sun's rays beamed through the trees giving plenty of sunlight in the surrounding area around the pond. After some time passed and the animals had plenty of water, Mack couldn't get his mind off the thought of the cool water from the pond. He was covered in sweat and the summer heat was horrible and the more he thought about the swimming hole the more inviting it sounded. So he decided he would join Cody and Moses at the pond. The closer towards the pond he got, he began to hear sounds of moaning. At first he thought someone might have been hurt and he began to look around, but he looked on ahead to see Moses having his way with Cody. He was about to go after them and pull Moses off of Cody when he heard sounds of encouragement coming from Cody who was urging him on. He realized then what he had suspected all along. Quietly, Mack watched as Moses was fucking Cody good and hard. He kept his distance so not to be seen or heard and kept his eyes glued to the two of them and couldn't help but get an instant hard on. There they were, Cody was on all fours, being fucked from behind as Moses kept a firm hold onto Cody's shoulders and pounding away into Cody's ass. Mack's eyes shifted to Cody, his back arched from Moses holding onto his shoulders, his head was up and facing forward with a wide grin on his sweat covered face and enjoying himself. Mack listened closely to the both of them and pulled his growing cock out of his trousers and began stroking it. The faster he watched Moses fucking Cody the faster he stroked his cock. Just as he heard Moses' deep voice go into a deep roar he knew Moses was shooting his load far up Cody's ass, Mack's own cock erupted as he shot his load to the ground. After several thrusts, he watched as Moses finally pulled his wet and slimy cock out of Cody's bum. Mack's eyes went big as he noticed the size of Moses huge black cock. Mack knew he was no slouch when it came to his own cock but for Cody to take a much larger one such as Moses was even difficult for him to comprehend. He couldn't believe that Cody could take such a huge cock up his ass. After shaking the last drops of cum from his cock, Mack tucked it back into his trousers. Then he heard a loud splash as Cody and Moses jumped into the water. Instead of joining them, he turned around and headed back to the house and take a cool bath. Once at the ranch, Mack went in through the barn to the wash room and added water to the tub and stripped out of his clothes and submerged himself into the cool water. Leaning back against the large granite tub he thought about what he saw. He wasn't angry. He wasn't even hurt by what Cody had done. They were not in a committed relationship like a man and a wife, he told himself. He just knew he enjoyed being with Cody and thought Cody enjoyed being with him too. He couldn't blame Moses for wanting to fuck Cody. Hell he knew how fabulous Cody's ass was to fuck. But he knew he sure was turned on watching them going at it he thought. His mind drifted towards Moses, seeing him nude for the first time. Damn he was a big brute, he thought. He must stand close to six feet seven inches and all those muscles on him, whew! And that cock! Damn that thing is bigger than mine and mine is a thick twelve inches. He has to be at least packing a good several more inches and just as round as a tin can, he thought. When he was finished with his bath and was redressed, he made his way to the house to find that Cody and Moses was back from the swimming hole and Cody was preparing the evening meal. "How was the water you two? You enjoy yourselves?" Mack asked. "You should've been there, Mack. The water was awesome," Cody answered with a big smile. "Yeah Mack, it was great," Moses piped out in his deep baritone voice. "I'm sure it was," Mack grinned, sensing how nervous they acted. "Why don't you let me finish supper while you guys go get cleaned up in the barn. Ya stink like stale water." Cody and Moses went to get cleaned up while Mack finished the cooking. By the time supper was done and the table set, they returned and smelling better than before. As they ate there meal they made small talk about the ranch, what went on in town and who they saw as they all acted like nothing happened and Mack hadn't seen a thing. Cody knew what he was doing and what he wanted. He hadn't felt this good about himself in a long time. He loved the ranch, but most of all he was in love with two men who were in love with him as well. He couldn't choose between the both of them and he hadn't thought about what would happen if Mack knew that he was also with Moses. He was enjoying himself way too much without even considering how Mack would feel. As the weeks passed, there was more work on the ranch then there ever was. The stock that Mack ordered from Denver while he was away finally came. There were four more heifers, a bull and not to mention a flock of chickens. Cody knew he would have his hands full collecting more eggs in the morning. That was one of many chores for Cody. From the beginning, Cody had to collect the eggs, wash the laundry, and tend the animals, not to mention keeping the house in order. At night, he would happily perform his "wifely" duties and keep Mack happy and satisfied and he loved every minute of it. He was happy and content being with Mack and making a home with him as a couple would as if they were married. Then Moses came along and added even more spark and passion to his life. To Cody, he was living a life he had never dreamt of and was more than happy and contented than he ever was. He had it in his mind that he would take care of both men in his life. On a hot August evening, Moses was out in the pasture with Mack. They tended the animals quietly when bringing them in from grazing for the day. They were on their way back to the barn when Mack broke the silence between the two of them. "Moses, I know about you and Cody messing around," he said bluntly. "You do?" Moses asked shockingly. "I . . . I . . . I don't know what to say Mack," Moses said almost shamefully and bowed his head low. "I guess I's be leaving then?" Moses said in more of a question than a statement. "No you don't have to leave, Moses," Mack stated. "I'm not mad at you if that is what you think?" "Ya not mad at me," Moses raised his head to him. "Wait a minute, I'm confused. Ya know dat I've been fucking Cody and ya don't want me to leave?" he asked dumbfounded. "That's right, Moses," Mack grinned as he jerked his head back. "You see, Moses. I've known for quite a while now about you and Cody and if I wanted you off my land, I would have done it when I first caught you with your cock up his ass." "How long you've known?" Mack asked. "About a month now," Mack replied. "Moses, I like you, you're a hard worker and great to have around the ranch. I couldn't have picked a better ranch hand than you and you keep the thieves from entering the property. One look at you and their off running for their life." "Thank ya Mack, I's 'preciate dat," Moses beamed with pride. "There's just one thing I want to know, Moses?" "What's dat Mack?" "How do you like fucking Cody's ass?" Mack says giving a broad grin. "Oooooweeee, dat is some purty ass he's got. I's like it. I's like it a lot." Mack let out a boisterous laugh. "That he does, Moses. That he does." Moses face beamed happily when he realized he didn't have to leave the ranch. "Ya know Mack, you don't know how much it makes me feel knowing you don't want me to leave, but what about Cody?" Mack gave a broad grin. "Oh I am for certain he wouldn't want you to leave either," and they both let out a hearty laugh. They were leading the last of the animals into the barn as they continued with their talk, placing them into their correct stalls as the hogs next to them were squealing loudly just as Moses threw several buckets of slop into their trough for the evening. "So you really don't mind it at all," Moses asked. "Nawww, I tell ya what though, Moses," Mack said. "We'll just keep this between you and I for now and you can keep fucking his ass. You know the saying about women, being in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant, well we'll keep Cody in the kitchen barefoot and corn-holed." Again, they let out another hearty laugh. "And just what are two laughing about," Cody piped out coming into the barn. "Nothing for you to worry about," Mack said to Cody, giving Moses a barely noticeable wink. "Dat's right," Moses added. "Well get cleaned up, supper will be on the table in ten minutes," Cody said giving a smile to the both of them and hoping that neither one saw the other giving him signs of affection. He didn't know that the ruse was up between him and Moses and that Mack knew about them. "I'll see you guys in the house in ten minutes and no longer than that, ya hear," then Cody turned and walked back towards the house. "Yeah we hear ya," Mack piped out. "Wouldn't upset the little man now would we, Moses?" "Oh hell no," Moses smirked. "No sirree, no we's wouldn't want that to happen." "I heard that!" Cody shouted back causing the two men to burst into laughter. Moses watched him walk away, staring at his sweet little ass. Once Cody was out of ear shot, Moses spoke low. "Mmmhmmm, dat is one sweet lil' ass. Gonna have me some o'dat tonight." "Not till I get some of him first," Mack said with a wide grin. "Just remember, I get his ass before you do, that's the rule from now on." "Ok boss," Moses grinned, showing his pearly whites. Mack and Moses were cleaned up and sitting at the table just as Cody was setting the table. Mack snuck in a pinch to Cody's ass just as Cody was standing close enough to him, causing Cody to slightly jump. They shared a tender look then Cody sat down and they began to dish up their plates and they ate heartily. It was a sober evening as they all sat around the hearth in the parlor. Mack was reading the newspaper while Cody and Moses were playing a game of checkers. It didn't take long till the sun had set into the west and before they knew it was dark and time for bed. Moses bid good night and headed for the loft above the barn. He lit the kerosene lamp, stripped out of all his clothes and laid back on the bed. He picked up a book that Cody had given him and began to read as he waited for Cody. He knew it wouldn't be too long as Cody always waited till Mack was asleep after having sex with him. He laid there, not able to concentrate as he thought about what Mack had said and was still surprised that Mack insisted he stay even after coming clean about fucking Cody. So now he looked forward to fucking Cody even more with Mack's consent. Back inside the house, Mack and Cody were in bed making love. Mack was on top with Cody's legs securely around his waist, moving in and out at a steady pace. His mouth covering Cody's as they kissed long and hard as they breathed hard and moaned with gratifying pleasure. Cody held Mack's head in his hands as the kiss deepened. He felt the quick jabs of Mack's thick and long cock embedded deep into his ass and tore his mouth from Mack's. "Awwww fuck, Mack. Oh you make me feel so good," Cody panted. And it was true, Cody loved the way he felt when he was with Mack. He loved everything about Mack just like he loved everything about Moses. He was in love with both men as they each brought their own kind of love and passion into his everyday life and he couldn't be happier. And Cody never had to touch his own cock, he always came from the heat of passion with the both of them. Mack buried his face into Cody's neck, kissing and licking as he moved in and out with quick hard jabs as it progressed into a mounting savagery, causing him to cry out in passion, urging Mack on as the friction and the heat between their sweaty bodies brought them to the a fiery orgasm. With each pounding thrust, brought him closer towards the edge and he shouted out. "YES! YES! YES!" and his cock blasted several streams of cum between their hot and sweaty bodies. Mack thrust harder and deeper as the muscles in Cody's ass tightened around his growing cock. He slammed into Cody hard, several times and in a few short seconds was sending a hefty load of his seed deep into Cody's ass. "Arrrggghhh!! Fuck yeah!" Mack shouted out in a fit of passion as his body trembled from his climax. Cody felt the mighty organ pumping its seed into him nonstop, then Mack's weight as he came crashing down on top of him and they kissed fully and deeply. Mack rolled off to the side as he rested from an intense climax and rested his eyes. It wasn't long till he felt the bed shift and Cody getting out of bed and he knew where he was going. Just as Cody thought Mack was asleep he crawled out of bed and without dressing, he went out into the night air and directly to the loft over the barn to Moses. Mack waited for a mere second till he got up and quietly followed behind. "What took ya so long?" Moses said, upon Cody entering the loft and keeping his voice low. Cody also kept his voice low as he quietly closed the door. "I'm sorry but Mack took extra time with me and it was another incredible night with him. He's out like a light now and sleeping soundly." "Good, now get over here so I can have my turn wit'cha," Moses beseeched. "I got's a big load to empty and it's calling for your ass." Mack crouched down right outside the door as he listened to them talking and peered into the crack of the door and had a perfect view of them on the bed. He watched as Cody climbed onto the bed and then on top of Moses, who was lying on his back. Moses and Cody kissed wildly as their hands explored each other. Moses became instantly hard as his big black snake of a cock nestled into the crack of his ass. Cody moved his hips feeling the massive cock moving up and down in the crevice of his ass. "Stand up boy," Moses ordered. "You know what to do." Cody stood up, placing a foot on each side of Moses and began to kneel down as Moses held his big black cock up and as it stood like a sequoia; tall, mighty, and proud. Cody felt the enormous head ease inside his already slick ass. He let out a deep sigh of content as it slid further into him as he continued to lower himself down. He moved slow, feeling it stretching his hole wider and once he thought he had enough inside him he impaled himself on the remaining length of it and they both moaned with instant gratifying pleasure. "Ohhhhh, Moses you're so big," Cody said through clenched teeth as he panted hard and deep, his eyes tightly closed. Cody was still for a few seconds as he became adjusted to the size of the cock inside him, feeling the length and thickness fill him completely. He noted the difference as Moses' cock definitely felt much bigger inside him then Mack's cock, especially in the position he was in. He leaned down and kissed Moses deeply while his fingers slowly moved over his bulky dark chest, feeling the short course hairs that covered it and then moving to his huge biceps as they flexed from Cody's touch. Slowly, Cody rose up and then back down, feeling the massive shaft that was deep inside him massage his insides. He was in sheer heaven as he shivered with excitement and anticipation. He repeated the maneuver over and over, taking it slow as he wanted to savor the feeling of fullness to last. Moses had his eyes closed and was beaming ear to ear. He lies there and takes a firm hold onto Cody's waist. He coo's and moans happily and begins to thrust his hips upward in a timely fashion to match Cody's down thrust and groans in absolute pleasure. "Ohhhhhh! Oh yeah! Ride that cock! Ride me, boy!" He panted over and over. Cody breathed heavily as he bounced up and down, his tight clenching ass muscles working on the massive throbbing stiff cock that was deep inside him. He angled his thrusts so now the massive intruder was hitting his prostate, causing him to see stars and cry out with pleasure. His pace changed and he began to ride him quicker and harder with more enthusiasm. Right outside the closed door, Mack was watching intently, his cock was achingly hard as he gently stroked it. Even from catching them before, watching Cody with Moses was fascinating to him, possibly because of the difference in their size and color. Moses was an older man and was black as coal dust and was big and tall compared to a small, stout young man as Cody. Moses hot, sweaty body shivered with pleasure beneath Cody as Mack watched the two of them. He watched as Moses threw his arms behind his head, his biceps thickened in size as he worked his lower region, thrusting his hips upward. "Ahhhhhh! Yeahhhh!!" he yelled as his powerful strong body became lost in an intense and uncontrollable orgasm. "Keep riding me boy! I's gunna fill yo ass up!" Cody kept a steady rhythm and sat down hard, feeling every blast, every torrent of the hot molten seed filling his insides to the fullest. Moses grunted and groaned, screaming out in a fiery passion as he came hard and deep inside him. And in one quick, barely noticed move, Moses reached up, bear hugged him tightly and threw him down on his back and began slamming his cock into him with powerful thrusts as his huge cock pistoned in and out of his ass. "YEOWWWW!" Cody jovially screamed out from being tossed to his back and Moses slamming into him like a man on a mission. "UGGHHHH! UGGHHHH! UGGHHHH! OHHHHH MOSES! OHHHHH MOSES! MOSES! MOSES!" Moses was pounding Cody good and hard as they moaned through a tongue bashing hot kiss. Cody hugged his back as he held onto Moses for dear life as he felt the big cock tearing right through him hard and fast. He tore his mouth from Moses and was sucking on his neck as he never done before. The sharpness of his beard was a turn on for him as he licked towards his throat. "OHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH!" Moses breathed out heavily, enjoying the sensation of Cody's hot mouth on his neck and throat and bringing him closer towards his climax. Moses showed his appreciation by giving short hard jabs as Cody assaulted his neck with his lips and tongue and the sucking noises coming from him. Cody tore his mouth from his neck, tossing his head to and fro, moaning with desire and taking every pounding thrust as he encouraged Moses on. He wasn't sure how much more pounding his ass could take when before he knew it, he was shooting his seed between their sweaty and hot bodies. He was moaning loudly and panting as his orgasm took over his entire body. Moses roared like a wild man and slammed his hips forward just as his cock sent another blast of hot molten seed into Cody. Moses slumped heavily onto Cody, who quickly enveloped him in his arms. They kissed and petted as their fast beating hearts and heavy breathing slowed to normal. Outside the door, Mack stifled back his cry as he shot a load of spunk to the wooden floor. After he regained his composure he stood up and threw open the door. "So this is where you are, fucking around with Moses I see," Mack blasts, pretending to be angry. "Mack, I can explain," Cody said as he shoved Moses off of him and jumped up. "Explain what?" Mack said and then looks at Moses as they grin at one another as they each knew what the other was thinking. Cody sees this and knows something is up. "Wait a minute, what's going on here?" Cody said, not only confused but shocked that Mack had caught them together. "Were you watching us the whole time?" "Cody, you are nothing if not transparent," Mack smirked at him. "I've known about you and Moses for a while now." Mack turns to Moses. "By the way Moses great job and well done I may add." Moses says nothing and gives a nod as he strokes his still hard and wet cock. "See, Cody, Moses and I had a talk about the sneaking around bit and I told him he didn't have to sneak around anymore." Cody stands there in front of them with cum leaking from his ass and down the inside of his legs. "You both knew this whole time while I thought I was keeping it a secret?" "Yep," Mack and Moses chimed out together in unison. Cody threw up his arms in disbelief. "I can't believe it. So now what?" "Nothing," Mack said with his hands on his hips. "I just thought it was time for you stop sneaking around when you don't have to." "Yeah," Moses agreed. "I'm still gonna fuck your sweet lil' ass." "That is after I am done fucking him," Mack added, looking at Moses and finally getting a closer look at his big black cock for the first time. "Damn, that's a helluva big cock." "And it knows what to do," Moses said as a matter of fact and grinned. "I can tell," Mack smirked as he clapped his hands together. "All right, it's time for bed. Play time is over." The next couple days were hectic around the ranch as the last of the new animals had arrived. And to make things better around the house, Mack went and hired a woman to take care of the house so that Cody had more time working the ranch alongside him and Moses. Her name was Clara Weston. Clara would arrive at the house every morning at seven and her duties was to cook, clean, mending, and doing the laundry. Then at four o'clock in the afternoon her work was done and she would go home to her family. This worked out great for Cody as he would clean up before going into the house at four o'clock and would finish making supper for him and the men while Clara finished up her work. She was always pleasant and warm with a great heart and as always at the end of her work, she would bid goodbye with a smile and would promise to give a hello to Dr. Margie for Cody. The men didn't see Clara much, just when they were coming or going from the house. They treated her with the utmost respect and treated her like family. Clara was middle aged and had her own family of four grown children several grandchildren. Her appearance was slightly plump, clean, neat, and kept her long chestnut brown hair up and in a bun. She was also widowed one year after her husband succumbed from years of suffering from wounds he had received during the war between the States. Mack paid her well and made sure she would never want for anything as he knew how tough it was for a widow who had very limited income. To Clara, Mack's job offer was a godsend to her as it was very hard for her to get along with such little money she had. Cody still kept in touch with his family and just about ran into them every day when he had gone to town. Dr. Margie had her hands full with a teenage son in the house, although Brison was a good kid and never got into trouble he was a young man of seventeen and didn't want his mother around and fussing over him with every little detail. To top it off, Brison had his eye on a class mate he really fancied. Her name was Cassie Reynolds and to Brison, she was the girl of his dreams and walked her home from school every day, carrying her books. It didn't take long till there was talk around town that they were a couple and after the school term was over and they graduated, he and Cassie planned to marry and move to Denver. Margie almost had a fit that Brison was going to get married right out school. She wanted him to go to college and make something of himself but he already planned his future but Brison was adamant with her, he was going to marry Cassie and move to Denver where he would work in the newspaper business and become a reporter. The ranch was thriving and bringing more money in everyday. Mack couldn't have been happier than ever. He was smart about the amount of animals to bring in. He knew it would be a task for the three of them, saying everything would work out with just the three of them working the ranch. And to Mack's surprise, it worked out rather well with just him, Cody, and Moses. Moses had finally moved into one of the two spare bedrooms upstairs although he still had preferred the loft but Cody and Mack both were insistent that he finally moved in just to keep them quiet. He knew he was finally home where he would stay and every night after being with a satisfied Mack, Cody would climb the stairs to Moses' room. Leaving this as is, with the possibility of another chapter, otherwise it stops here. Leave comments at whippit@live.com . Thanks Whipp Livingston.
