Chapter 1: The Small Red Barn
The Harvest Festival at Huntsville Farm had just begun. I was doing my job as a Petting Farm Attendant, so basically all I did was chase escaped goats. My boss' 23 year old son Nick was helping out today. He lived with his parents on the property after being released from prison. I walked into the petting farm office to find him smoking a cigarette.
"I thought you were bringing me some coffee?" I said in a sassy tone with my hands on my hips.
"I said I might bring you some, but what do I get in return?" he quirked an eyebrow, before taking a long drag off his cigarette.
"My love forever and the satisfaction of knowing I won't strangle a customer." I fluttered my eyelashes, and flashed him an innocent smile.
"What kinda love? The warm and fuzzy love? Or," He stepped a little closer and "The touchy feely love?" he asked a little softer with smirk on his face. I felt my self blush despite my mind's prostests.
"You're my boss's son. Need I say more?" I replied pointedly, taking a step back and ignoring the fog in my head his earthy scent created.
"True. Plus you're not legal anyway." He shrugged and sat down on a feed bin, taking another drag off his cigarette.
"Actually, I just turned eighteen last week." For some reason, I felt the need to correct him.
"Really?" he asked surprised. "Happy birthday." He said with a tone I couldn't identify, but it made me feel self-conscious.
"Thanks," I said, blushing a little, not that he could tell with my light mocha colored skin. At least I hoped he couldn't tell.
He finished his cigarette in silence, appearing to be deep in thought. I needed to get back to telling kids not to chase the chickens, so I turned and walked out, mumbling a goodbye and leaving him to his thoughts.
~V&W~
I stood in the goat pen and explained to yet another customer that no, that goat is not pregnant HE is just extremely fat. Nick came up to the other side of the fence and waited for me to finish talking to that customer. I spot him out the corner of my eye, and quickly found a reason to end my conversation. As I made my way to him, my stomach fluttered, confusing the shit out of me.
"I've been calling your name for like two minutes," He smirked as I approached.
"Oh, really how the hell was supposed hear over that?" I rolled my eyes and gestured towards the DJ playing child friendly music.
"True," he chuckled. He continued to speak, but at that moment the hayride passed by us, making his words nearly impossible to hear.
"What? I can't hear you." I half shouted of the noise of the tractor.
"I said," he leaned over the fence close to my ear and whispered, "How do you like your coffee?"
I couldn't help the shivers that went down my spine in the most delightful way. Something about the way he said coffee made my mind wander elsewhere. Damn did he smell good! My god, the things I would do to him. Wait, where did that thought come from?
"Mocha, Coffee? How do you like it?" Nick asked me again, breaking my internal monologue.
"Oh, um, three sugars and lots of cream."I stuttered a little bit flustered, and feeling yet another blush creep across my tanned face.
"Cool," I swear I heard a slight chuckle. As he turned and walked away, I couldn't help but stare as his ass. Damn was it fine.
~V&W~
"Coffee for Ms. Mocha" an incredibly sexy voice whispered in my ear as I leaned my back up against the fence. I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head as I let the sound wash over me. I inhaled deeply in attempt to compose myself. It actually had the an adverse effect as I breathed in his intoxicationg smell.
"Took you long enough." I said in my sassiest tone as I turned to face him, trying to act unaffected by him.
"Well if you don't want it, I'll just...." He started to turn to walk off with both our coffees.
"Don't you dare!!!" I said grabbing the coffee from his left hand
"That's what I thought," he grinned smugly, drinking some of his coffee.
I stuck my tongue out at him in response. It was impossible not to notice how his gorgeous blue-grey eyes darkened in response.
We started chatting lightly, seeing as my goat pen wasn't very busy at that moment. Slowly the conversation started getting deeper. We began talking about past relationships. He told me about how the last girl broke his heart. He told me how she claimed that he never had time for her, and that she claimed they were too different. He also told me with sad eyes about how over the three months they dated she had become so withdrawn she barely spoke. She didn't even speak to him to break it off, she did it through a text message.
"She is missing out on something great," I said in attempt to console him, but I also could feel the truth in my words.
"You really think so?" his green eyes softened a little. In that moment I could see how vulnerable he really was. All too quickly his eyes hardened back to the tough guy he pretended to be.
"Yah, I really do." I told him sincerely, and smiled. He returned with a sheepish grin. In that moment an incredibly hot guy passed by. I admit I was staring at his ass. Then I noticed Nick doing the same thing. I raised an eyebrow in question.
He looked like a deer in the headlights for a brief second. He sighed and said, "I'm like you."
I nodded in understanding. However, I had suspicions but was a little shocked to learn it to be true.
"I know I'm pan, but just have more of a preference for women." His eyes had something unreadable in them, but I knew what he was saying to be true.
"I had my suspicions" I admitted, unfazed by his confession.
"Really? Most people are shocked to find out." His eyebrows rose in confusion "Mocha, you always manage to surprise me."
"Well it takes one to know one." I giggled lightly.
"Amen to that. It also has its perks." He said drinking his coffee.
"Like what?" I asked, curious as to what his answer would be.
"I get to be submissive to males, but dominant to women." His expression was unreadable.
Dear god it seemed he knew exactly what to say to get me worked up. In that moment I realized how badly I wanted him. But I decided to play it cool, and replied with a slightly flustered "True."
I swear that for a second his mouth twitched into a grin and his eyes darkened even more so. He finished his coffee, I did the same. He threw his cup away. I held my empty cup out with a pouty face.
"Be careful, that pout might get you into trouble with me" I know that he could see my reaction as my face felt like it was on fire. He took my cup from me with an amused grin.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages, if you will gather around the dj booth, the magic show will now begin!" The DJ announced.
We turned to the DJ booth, watching in silence at first. I found my body strangely aware of his presence and my mind even more aware of how close he was.
"You know how he did that one?" Nick broke the silence.
I shook my head "Nope."
"He had the jack in his sleeve; he grabbed it as he finished shuffling."
"Oh my gosh, now I get it!" I grinned, it now made sense to me.
"He has quick, agile hands. Not as much as me when I do card tricks but still so." He said looking at me.
My mind went to the things I'd like him to do with those hands, and ways he could use those skills.
