As Kay came down the walkway she spied her aunt and uncle immediately. Even at 72 her uncle was still a very good looking man. He was tall, tan, and robust looking, even if she didn’t know better she would have guessed her uncle to be in his late 50's. Her aunt was a bundle of smiles with open arms that always made you feel welcomed and loved.
This was the first time that Kay had ever been to Florida, the heat and humidity were a shock to her system. The short walk from the airport terminal to the parking lot already had her long hair wet with the moisture in the air. She was going to have to put her hair in a pony tail or at least put it up in this kind of heat. Her mother was constantly on her about getting her hair cut. She told her at 46 years old she was to old to be wearing her hair that long.
Her uncle tossed her bags into the rear of the Bronco he was driving and helped her and her aunt into the vehicle. “It’s about time you got yourself down here to visit us outlaw. Hell, your aunt and I ain’t got much time left on this earth as it is. If you’d have waited much longer you would have been visiting us at our damn grave side girl,” he told her smiling at her.
Ever since she was a little girl her uncle had called her his little outlaw, as did his eleven brothers and sisters. Her aunt was the only one who called her Kay Marie, she was after all named after her. “Aunt Kay how have you put up with him all these years?”
“Well dear it hasn’t been easy, but if I let him think he’s always right then we never had need to argue.”
“Don’t believe it! Every time she was getting ready to lay into me for something I would just grab her, give her a big kiss and she’d melt in my arms and forget what she was mad at me for,” he told her winking at her.
They were still laughing when they pulled into the drive of their charming little house. Her aunt showed her to her room and Kay unpacked her things. Kay stood looking out the french doors of her room into the back yard. It still looked the same as it did in all her family photos she had of them. The orange and grapefruit trees were still there, along with the lemon and lime trees along the fence row to the right of her bedroom. Two Palm trees were at the far end of the garden near a small man made pond.
Her uncle was yelling at her down the hall telling her to get a move on it. They were going to spend the weekend at an old friend of her uncles, on his ranch. Kay had met George many times over the years when he and uncle Chuck had brought horses up north that George had been training for one person or another on the harness racing circuit.
“Come on slow poke, get your bag down here and let’s be on our way. George will think something has happened to us and send a posse out looking for us if we don’t get a move on it,” he was yelling down the hall.
Before Kay was barely out of the car George had her in a big bear hug.“So you finally got your fanny down here to visit us,” planting a big kiss on her cheek. “It’s so nice to see you again George. You haven’t changed a bit since the last time you and uncle Chuck came north.” George was her uncles age and looked every bit as fit and healthy. Aunt Kay had written her a few years ago telling her that George’s wife had died of cancer. They never had any kids and he had been an only child.
“Roper!......Roper get yourself over here boy I want you to meet someone.”
Kay turned around to see a tall man dressed in a tight pair of jeans, a khaki colored t-shirt rolled up at the sleeves, with a light tan colored cowboy hat coming their way. As he got closer Kay could see he was nice looking as well and he had mustache and goatee that just enhanced his looks as far as she was concerned.
“Roper I want you to meet Kay, this is Chuck and Kay’s niece from up north. Kay this is Roper my foreman and long time friend,” George said introducing them to each other.
He shook her hand that she had offered as George introduced her. “So I finally get to meet the “outlaw” these two always talked about when they came back from their trips,” he smiled as he shook her hand. “Pleased to meet you ma’am.”
He had a firm grip and Kay liked that, she hated it when men shook her hand in a wimpy delicate manner. She had gotten a little electric shock as their hands touched. “Sorry,” she smiled up at him, “must have some static in me from sliding across the seat when I got out.”
“Roper would you help Kay take her things to her room, she’s in the room across from yours. Soon as you freshen up missy come on down, your aunts already in the kitchen with Betty getting things ready for the big bash tonight and she said to steer you her way when you got back down here.”
Roper led her up a flight of stairs and down a long hall, he stopped at the end of the hall and opened the door to her room taking her case inside and sitting it beside the huge bed in the center of the room. He walked across the room and opened another door showing her the private bathroom. “I’ll be out front when you get ready,” he put a finger to his hat bowing his head a little as he closed the door.
The house was huge and Kay was a little surprised by that considering George never had any kids. While she unpacked and washed up her mind was thinking nasty little thoughts. She felt an instant attraction to Roper when she shook his hand, she had felt a nervous little twitch in her stomach pulling at her. It had been a long time since she had felt that pull of desire in her.
He just exuded sex appeal. Now she was going to have to sleep across the hall from him for the next three nights. She knew she was going to be in for a lot of tossing and turning. She already new from the dampness between her thighs that she would be masturbating thinking of him laying in bed across the hall from her.
Kay freshened up and headed downstairs to give her aunt and Betty a hand in the kitchen. They spent most of the afternoon getting all the food ready for the cookout tonight. Must be a hell of a lot of people coming tonight with all the gallons of potato salad, macaroni salad, deviled eggs, and all the rest of the food the ladies put together that afternoon. She could smell the wild boar they had roasting out in a pit out back and it smelled wonderful. Around 5 the ladies had everything ready and the hired help George had hired for the party had everything under control so the ladies left to get ready for the party.
People had started to arrive around 6:00 pm, Kay could hear them down on the lawns under her balcony. She had opened the door to her balcony leaving just the screen door closed letting in a nice breeze. Her aunt had taken her shopping the day before to buy something to wear for the party. Kay very seldom wore a dress or skirts, she wasn’t built for them is how she felt.
Her aunt had talked her into getting the outfit that was laying across her bed. Kay had to admit that it did look nice on her after trying it on so she agreed to get it. The top was sleeveless, it was 3 layers of thin gauze like material. One layer a pale lemon, one a pale peach and the other a pale green. It was cut long, flowing over the ankle length mint green skirt that went with it. It was cut low across the breast showing Kay’s more than ample cleavage. Kay liked it because it hid all her imperfections. She had decided to leave her hair down as the night was not humid. She slipped on her sandals and headed down to the party.
Kay had met so many people tonight she knew that she would never remember more than two or three of them by name. She had noticed Roper earlier talking with some other men and then later when she saw him standing over by one of the palm trees talking to a very sexy looking lady who Kay had not met yet. Kay actually felt a little pang of jealousy when she saw them deep in conversation.
One of the men George had introduced her to earlier that evening had her cornered over near the pool. He was a little taller than her, balding and probably late 50's or early 60's. He was pretty lit, having had more than enough to drink which is why he was probably being as forward as he was. Kay would never do anything to embarrass her aunt and uncle or George so she was trying to ignore him for the most part. He put his arm around her and let his hand press up against the side of her breast.
“Either you take your hands off of me right now or your going to find your fucking ass in the pool” she hissed at him. Before she could push herself away from him Roper showed up and pulled her free from his unwanted advances.
“I think this is our dance Kay.” He put his arm around her waist, putting distance between her and the drunk man. “You better go get some coffee in you Frank before you do something I’m going to make you regret.” Saying that he pulled Kay over to the area where a couple dozen couples were dancing and pulled her into his arms.
“Thank you, I was on the verge of tossing his ass in the pool when you showed up.”
