Jack worked the fields as long as he could remember. As a youth, he would ride in the tractor with his father while he harvested the wheat, barley and corn.
"All this is going to be yours one day." his dad would say as he patted him on the head.
It was a big farm, approximately 2,500 acres of prime land and Jack looked forward to trying his hand at farming when it was handed down to him. Little did Jack know but when his father passed away, the farm was in debt and the only thing handed him was a repossession notice and an auction flyer for his farm.
He hated it when he remembered the terrible loss of his father and his dreams. His bitterness was swallowed up in his own need to survive so he did what he knew best, continued to work the fields. Now things were different though, instead of working with his dad, he was working for the family that bought the farm at auction.
Oh, he was treated fairly, as farmhand's go, but he knew that this spread was his and the land was in his blood. This is why he worked so hard, not for profit but pride. The owner's family was nice to Jack and sometimes seemed sympathetic but he didn't want nor need sympathy. Jack wanted something from them since they had something of his and one of these days, he was going to take it.
The sun baked down on Jack that day as he was working on the reaper. He had 200 acres to work that day and he had started early that morning, bypassing the usual family style breakfast that the owner's wife prepared each morning. His sweat had worked its way through all of his clothing and he was cursing the sun when he saw a figure riding towards him. Jumping down from the cab, he saw Janet on her roan mare with a basket in her hand.
Jack had known Janet since she and her parents bought his farm out from under him. He held no bitterness towards her, it was her father that was greedy. Janet had no similarities to her father, as her personality was tender and caring. Jack has watched her grow up before his eyes since she was only nine years old when they moved in. Now at nineteen, she was full of beauty and womanhood. She wore her brown hair back away from her face, which Jack appreciated since her tanned face should not be hidden. Her blue eyes pierced into Jack and he often wondered if she could read his thoughts.
"I've brought you something to eat." Janet said as she motioned for Jack to come over to her.
Wearing cut-off shorts and a T-shirt, she swung from the saddle and Jack helped her as she dismounted from the horse. Her face was wet from her own sweat and glowed as she smiled at him. As he placed his hands on her slim waist to help her land from the saddle, he noticed her breasts pushing her shirt as if screaming to be released. Jack caught himself staring at her chest and felt an urge in his crotch. Looking back up into those piercing blue eyes, her detected a grin on her face as well as the flush of his face.
"I brought enough for me also. I hope you don't mind some company out here." Janet said.
"I'd be honored. Let's eat over there." Jack replied as he pointed to the backside of the Reaper. By eating over there, they would be in the shade of this monster piece of equipment as well as blocked from view of anyone coming up from the house or road.
