Willow Valley (Frank Adler AU) 18+

23

Finally Frank was feeling the relief of being able to get back to work. He'd been bored to tears not being able to lift anything, just barking orders at the other ranch hands and overseeing activities from the sidelines, but in the weeks that had passed, it had meant that he'd spent most of his time secretly with Hassie. They mainly met at her cabin, and a few times had almost been caught out by Etta - but all the hiding in the en-suite bathroom and closet had been worth the risk.

Now he pulled her into the barn as she passed one morning, and gently pressed her back against the wall. "You're really wanting to fuck me in a barn?" She smirked, adjusting his hat slightly.

"What happened to being spontaneous and adventurous? Your words, not mine". He reminded her of the conversation they'd had when talking about starting up a relationship. She'd told him to lighten up, live a little. They'd keep it to themselves for as long as they agreed to. After a very public relationship, Hassie wasn't about to launch Frank and Mary into her world. He knew that now and trusted her. On stage she was Hassie Rockford. Singer, songwriter, and entertainer. At the ranch she was just Hassie. And she was his...

Her hands went to his belt while his hitched her dress up around her waist, now easing inside of her as she stretched around him. "There are guests..." she hissed.

"So what? I'm just teaching you how to ride more effectively". He shrugged, thrusting into her and making her moan. "See? Effective".

"You're a dick, Adler".

"And you love my dick, Rockford, now tighten your pretty little legs around me so I can fuck you deeper and make you come hard". He told her quietly into her ear which made her shiver with excitement and tighten immediately.

"Fuck, I love it when you talk dirty to me".

He moved his lips over hers. "Dirty talk for a dirty girl", thrusts becoming quicker until she was digging her nails into him, legs trembling as the orgasm washed over her in all its glory. Her release only made him come hard into her, finally managing to get his breath back and easing her from him.

She pulled her dress down and readjusted her panties that he'd simply pushed aside. "If my parents walk in and see you've got your dick out then there's gonna be questions".

"Just as well they're out with a group of guests". He smirked and stuffed himself back into his trousers. "Got time for a ride?"

"I just had one".

"I meant on an actual horse".

She checked her watch. "I've got a meeting I need to go get ready for, but I'll be around tonight?"

"Mary's sleeping at the ranch house anyway, so I'll come to you once I'm done here. I think we need to tell her about us.

He moved in and kissed her again, Hassie now plucking the hat from his head and putting it on. "So tell her? See you later", giving him a wink. Frank watched her leave, hips swaying and then had to brace himself against the wall.

Damn. He was gonna need to sit down and right now knowing that she was walking around with him seeping out between her legs.

"Hassie!" He saw Mary now run up to her and hug her, Hassie crouching down to her level to listen to whatever she had to say, and then nodded, standing back up and ruffling Mary's hair.

His niece now came up to him. "Hassie said I can go to her cabin. I've done my chores".

"She said she's got a meeting, so make sure you stay quiet".

"I'm gonna watch TV and she's gonna make me some popcorn. Can I go?"

Frank nodded. "Go on. I'll come get you later". He told her as she quickly thanked him whilst running away to catch up with his girlfriend.

Girlfriend.

"Mary!" He called and beckoned her back, gesturing to Hassie to go on and she'd catch up. "Hey, I need to talk to you about something important".

"Ok".

Frank wondered how to say it. "So...you like Hassie right?"

"Duh".

"Ok, yeah that's pretty obvious, but erm...I like her too. I like her a lot. So how would you feel about her, well, being around more? Sleeping over at ours and stuff?"

"Is she your girlfriend?"

He smiled to himself and nodded. "She is, but if it's something you'd find weird or uncomfortable then you need to tell me".

Mary shrugged. "It's not weird. You should marry her, maybe then you won't be grumpy".

Frank let out a small laugh. "Bit too early for anything like that. We've not told Earl and Etta yet so you think you could keep this secret for a while? Until we do?"

"Ok. Now can I go to Hassie's?"

He gave her a nudge in the direction she'd originally been going. "Go on, get outta my hair".

Well at least that had gone well.

"I'm guessing she took it well?" Hassie said as she sat outside with Frank that evening, snuggled under a blanket with a couple of glasses of wine.

"I couldn't have seen her protesting about it".

She nodded. "Well that's good. Listen in a few weeks I'm gonna be heading into the studio so I'll be gone for a while. That's gonna be ok?"

"Sure. You think you'd be able to call Mary while you're there? Just so she's got some consistency".

"You know I'll be calling every day, Adler". She grinned as she leant r and kissed the corner of his mouth.  "Now, I think it's time we went to bed".

"That's a very good idea Rockford. Lead the way..."
