Chapter Fifteen

CHAD

Dust trails in two long clouds behind the Ford pick-up as Rachel drives back toward the farmhouse after delivering our lunch.

My dick is still standing at attention from the sight, sound and smell of her when she handed the box lunches to me and Enrique.

From her polite, reserved manner when she greeted us, she’s not ready to go public with the fact that I’ve staked my claim with her, so I’ll keep it under wraps for the time being. But, sooner rather than later because I don’t want to be hiding behind demure smiles and comfortable distances between us for much longer.

The clouds hang heavy over the sun, and a late summer breeze is blowing the hayfield in green waves that ripple all the way to the horizon. Today we are cutting a good ten acres of the field, tomorrow we’ll hit another ten, then it will be the combine and the corn until the fields are clear.

Enrique lets out a long moan as he lies on his back under the shade of a big old oak, eating his third cheeseburger while he stares up at the sky with his ever present smile.

“Where do you put all that food?”

The little guy out eats me by two times yet he’s half my size.

“It’s a gift. Without my wife here, food is my other love, so I eat. Storin’ up for when I see her again. She likes a little meat on her man.”

We’ve established a comfortable friendship in the couple days we’ve been working; he’s hard not to like. Always humming something while we work, never the same tune twice and I can’t say as I know a single one of them. But it’s nice, easy. And when there’s a moment of downtime we chat a bit about his life, his family.

Tell you one thing, he’s just about as in love with his wife as a man can be. The image thunders through my addled brain: me and Rachel fifteen years from now, still hot for each other with kids running all over and whatever else life has in store for us.

“She’s a fine girl.” Enrique stops his humming and speaks upward to the sky.

“What?”

He turns his head and his smile turns down. He raises an eyebrow at me.

“Rachel. She’s a fine girl. You better treat her right though, or I beat your ass. I may not be big, but I can take care of you if I need to.”

“Jesus, what the hell? You a mind reader or something?”

He crosses and uncrosses his worn leather boots, stretching out under the blue sky as he pops the last bite of his burger into his mouth. As he chews he throws his hands behind his head. Then he swallows, takes a breath and turns his kind eyes to me.

“I know that look. You not fooling anyone.” He sits up, his face turning serious. “You hurt her, I hurt you. I’m just sayin’. Okay?”

His straightforward manner and protectiveness does nothing but make me like him that much more.
