Bret
The sun wouldn’t be up for another few hours, but I was ready to get a head start on the trail since my brothers had returned. If the Black Prince and I kept up our stamina, we might make it to the reservation with only one night sleeping on a bedroll.
Even the ground was better than another night on the lumpy sofa at this rate.
I quietly dressed, slung my belt around my waist and shoved my pistols into the holsters. Then I grabbed my hat and boots and silently made my way out onto the porch before slipping them on.
It only took a few steps toward the barn before I noticed the soft lantern light shimmering from the open door.
“What the fuck?” I muttered to myself.
I crept across the yard and slid a pistol from the holster. The snick when I cocked it seemed to echo in the early morning darkness.
But I quickly shoved the gun back where it belonged when I peered around the door and took in the scene.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing, Essie?”
Our wife straightened from bending over a crate perched on the end of the wagon and offered up a grin. “Why I’m finishing loading supplies to take to the reservation, that’s what.”
How she’d slipped by me in the house was a mystery. So much for getting a head start – and for spending only one night under the stars. Until I noticed there were no horses hitched to the wagon.
“How’re you going to get all this there without a team?” I smirked without sympathy. “Planning to pull the wagon yourself?”
She sat down on the wagon’s edge then slid to the ground, brushing her skirts. “I might need a little help hitching the horses.”
“Well, you’re not gonna get it from me,” I said, heading for the door.
There was no way I was going to encourage this. Essie had guests to see to. Our children to take care of. I wasn’t about to let her come gallivanting off with me to the reservation this time.
Even if it meant we might have some time together alone. But no matter how much my cock begged for it, I wasn’t about to let her come along when there was someone possibly hanging out around here. I’d already been caught unawares while fucking my wife recently – and with my resistance nearing zero, that risk was simply too great now to take.
“I didn’t ask for your assistance,” she called out after me.
“Stay home, Essie. Dragging a wagon along will only slow me down.”
She followed behind as I tramped toward the stables. “It’s only a few things. And I can help you.”
“You’re needed here…for your guests.”
“They’ll be fine without me for a few days.”
“What about the children?”
“Edna will be here to take care of the feeding and watering of the family while we’re away.”
I noticed she hadn’t mentioned her sister. I doubted there was much that woman could do to take care of anyone out here. She couldn’t cook.
