Down on the Ranch

Chapter 20

Jace's P.O.V.

Stretching my body against the bed that I am lying on with a large yawn while blinking my eyes open. Once I glance around the room that I am in, that is when I realize that I am lying on the middle of Gage's bed in his room at the bunkhouse.

Rolling off the bed, wrapping my blanket tightly around myself as I leave the bunkhouse to find Gage. Pulling my cell from the front pocket of my jeans to see that it is almost lunch time, so I head toward the main house. Entering the house, I hear everyone talking in the kitchen, so I fold my blanket, and leave it on the arm of the couch.

When I enter the room, I smile at everyone, and they return the gesture as I grab a plate to fill it with fish sticks, french fries, cut up celery, and strawberries. When I take what I know I will eat, I sit in between Gage and pop-op. Gage leans over to lightly kiss my cheek, and I can't help the blush that spreads across my body knowing everyone witnessed his affectionate act.

"You two are absolutely adorable together!" Claire squeals, making me softly groan at her.

"Yes, we are, thank you for noticing," Gage proudly agrees as he wraps his arm around my shoulders.

I told Gage to be ready by 7 p.m. for our date, and that I will pick him up from the bunk house. I have filled a picnic basket of snacks, drinks, a blanket for us to sit on, and several  personal items, if you catch my meaning. I also told him to dress comfortably, and I am dressed in a pair of black leggings, black fuzzy socks, a white long sleeve shirt, and white slides.

Knocking on the closed door of the bunkhouse after opening the screen door, I step back, letting the screen door shut softly as I wait for Gage to open the door. He opens it a few seconds later, and he looks sexy wearing a pair of black sweats, black socks and slides, and a black long sleeve shirt.

I think my brain has short circuited at how the clothing has stretched tightly over his bulging, mouth watering muscles. I want to lick every square inch of his body.

"Hi, love," he greets with a grin as he steps toward me, closing both doors behind him, stopping in front of me, right in my personal space.

"H-hi, you look so damn sexy!" I blurt out, slapping my left hand over my mouth in shock as my eyes widen in shock that I blurted that out.

"Thank you, my little love," he replies with a wider grin. "You look sexy as sin."

"Are you ready? We are gonna ride a horse together to our location since we are not leaving the property," I ask shyly as he bends his head slightly down to kiss me.

"Yup, let's go," he answers as he pulls back to wink at me.

Gage takes the picnic basket before I can, giving me a sly smile when I pout at him as we start toward the horse barn. I already have Gypsy saddled, waiting in her stall for us.

"You are so sweet," Gage praises when he sees that Gypsy is already saddled for us.

Blushing at his compliment, I hope he still thinks this way in a little while from now when I suggest we have sex. Leading Gypsy from her stall and the barn, we climb into the saddle with Gage sitting behind me, and I hold the basket as he holds the reins. We enjoy our ride in silence to the valley, and once we are there, Gage dismounts, taking the basket first, and then helps me down. We let Gypsy wander since she will not stray too far.

Taking the basket from Gage, I take out the black fuzzy blanket that he helps me spread it out before I unpack the snacks and drinks, leaving the lube and condoms in the basket. Gage sits down, pulling me down to sit between his spread legs, and I sigh at being able to lean back against his strong chest.

"You have several of my favorite snacks," he says in awe as he leans his head down to kiss my cheek.

"I wanted to make sure you had choices you liked," I reply with a shy smile. "I, ah, also have a couple of other items in the basket still."

"Oh really, and what would those be?" he murmurs into my ear causing me to shiver against him.

Leaning to the side, I grab the two items from the basket, pull my hand free to show him as I murmur; "Um, these."

Gage sharply inhales as he looks at what I am holding before he leans his head forward to see the side of my face; "Are you sure about this, Jace? I am not rushing you into having sex with me. I will wait for however long you need until you are ready."

Nodding, I boldly, well, boldly for me reply; "I know you are not, and would never rush me. I want to do this, and I want you to be my first even if I am not your first."

"I feel honored to be your first, baby. That you trust me to be your first," he murmurs, gently rubbing his hands over my thighs. "I promise I will do my best to make it not too painful whenever we make love for the first time."

Biting my lower lips, I shyly nod at him, sliding myself further back into his body while murmuring; "I know you will, and I was kind of hoping it would be tonight."

Gage slides his arms around my waist to pull me tightly against him, and I can feel his swelling penis against my backside. He gently wraps his left hand over my throat to pull my head to the left, so he can nibble on the side of my neck. Turning in his hold once he releases my neck, I push Gage onto his back as I throw my leg over his hips to straddle his hips.

Leaning forward to connect our lips as Gage's hands slide up under the back of my shirt to rub his warm palms up and down my back. Goosebumps erupt over my body, and I cannot help the full body shiver as we continue to kiss. I know I am enjoying the moment, and where it could possibly end up, and I hope Gage is, too.
