My Cowboy
Finding my adolescent fantasy on a hike.
Author note: Just to help you see what I see when reading this. I see Donna as being played by Connie Carter, and James as Lutro, maybe with a bit more grey in his hair. Girlfriend would be Dolly Leigh and boyfriend would be some young nerdy guy. Everyone else is peripheral.
I wake up just before my alarm and shut it off so it does not wake Tom. I had packed all my clothes and backpack in the bathroom. I get out of bed quietly and go into the bathroom to dress, closing the door so the light does not bother Tom.
I get dressed quickly, and I close the hotel room door just before 3:30 in the morning. I don't think I woke Tom up.
Tom was supposed to accompany me on this hike but two days ago had fallen and cracked a bone in his ankle. There is no way he could make the hike with crutches and a medical boot on his foot, clamping his ankle in place to allow it to heal. I had suggested that we cancel this hike, but he insisted I go alone. An hour and a half hike, with 1000 feet rise to get to Broken Ridge to watch the sun rise over the mountains.
Traffic is light, only a few transport trucks on the road at this time of night. It took 45 minutes to reach the trail head. There is one other vehicle in the parking lot, a black SUV.
I mount a headlamp to light the path, and visit the toilet in the parking lot. I strap bear bells to my ankles. The noise will warn any bears that I am coming and give them time to get off the path. In the years I have been hiking in the mountains I have never surprised an animal on my hikes, though I have seen a lot of them from a reasonable distance, including a couple of grizzlies and numerous brown bears. But I come prepared, and make sure the bear spray is in the outer pouch of my backpack.
I am dressed lightly. Shorts, a shirt, sports bra, and a little jacket. it is cool at this time in the morning, but the trip back is forecast to be a hot August day. Even so the temperature is not bad. I start up the path.
I am 5' 10" with a long stride, and as I am a bit chilly, I push a bit to keep warm. So, I am coming up to the view point, a little meadow just off the path, a bit more than an hour before sunrise, about half an hour ahead of my schedule. The horizon is just starting to glow with the impending sunrise, and I can see without my headlamp, so I turn it off.
As I come over the ridge and turn onto the meadow, I see someone sitting in the meadow. Damn, I had hoped to have the site to myself. He heard the bear bells and turned to look. Oh, Shit, he looked just like my fantasy, a rugged cowboy. In my fantasy I would be hiking, encounter a cowboy who would sweep me off my feet and ravish me. Not going to happen, Tom and I are at the end of our three-week honeymoon. I have not shared this particular fantasy with Tom. Tomorrow, no this afternoon, we will leave for home and be home by midnight.
I had started fantasizing about a cowboy sweeping me off my feet about the time I started masturbating, about 15 years ago. He had been my constant masturbation fantasy for all those years. As I grew older, so did he, and the first few guys I had sex with I closed my eyes and fantasized that they were my cowboy. Tall, slim, fit. Tom is sort of like that, definitely tall and slim, a bit less than prime fitness, but nerdier than cowboy.
The cowboy raises his hand and said "Hi"
I reply "Hi". Then after a pause "I guess you are here for the sunrise too."
"Yup"
I walk past him toward the other side of the meadow. As I pass him, I feel a tingle and realized I was getting wet. Damnit body, this is not my fantasy. Besides, this one is a bit old.
He had chosen about the middle of the meadow; I moved about another 10 feet on and set my backpack down. I pulled out the rug that I brought along so Tom and I could cuddle up and wait for the sun, maybe make love. I spread it out and got down and smoothed it out. I had just about completely spread it out and smoothed it down when I remember that I am wearing my shortest shorts, and the crotch was a seam about a half inch wide, and it is crawling up my butt crack. Here I am doggy with my ass in the air pointed right at the cowboy. Tom had commented at one point that when I did that, he could see my vulva, and sometimes even into my pussy. I immediately realized that the show I was giving was the whole works. I was going commando; I had not thought to put on panties.
I immediately sat down and looked over. He was watching and grinning. At least the light was not full sunlight, just the pre-sunrise glow. I can feel a full-on blush rise from my chest to the top of my head.
I take off the bear bells and my headlamp and put them in my backpack, next to the lube. Another blush rises up. I had packed this before Tom hurt his ankle, in case we wanted to have sex while waiting for sunrise. Now here I am with my fantasy cowboy. I take off my shoes and socks and put them beside the blanket. I like the feeling of digging my toes into the blanket.
I look over at the cowboy and realize he is quite a bit older than I had thought. For some reason that makes him feel safer. Had he been anywhere near my age I would have left him there, but he looked uncomfortable. I guessed he would be over 6 foot tall, though harder to tell when he is sitting.
I patted the blanket next to me, and said "Why don't you join me, it will be more comfortable on the blanket." Crap, what am I doing, I don't know anything about this guy.
He hesitated for a bit then gets up and comes over. He sits next to me on the blanket about a foot away from me, and takes off his shoes and socks like I had done.
He held out his hand and said "I'm James"
I shake his hand, "Donna"
"Where are you from Donna?"
We talk for about 10 minutes basic background info, he is a widower, his wife had liked this location, I was newly married and my husband had cracked a bone in his foot. He had no kids; I had no kids, though we had plans to have a couple. I was 27 and he was 72. We both laughed at the transposition. He had a couple of car dealerships and made a good living. I am an accountant and my husband an engineer. I notice him stealing glances at my bust. I am a 38D, lots to notice. But he also makes me feel comfortable. I like him. I am feeling the chill so I slide over close to him to absorb some of his heat.
He put his hand on my leg, just above the knee. There was a jolt as my body betrayed me and a spark ran up my leg to my pussy, and I became wetter. Then in another total betrayal, my legs spread apart by a couple of inches. Shit, is this going to happen, my fantasy come true. No, I know better. I am just married; I would not betray my new husband. If he was younger, I might be tempted, he so totally fits my fantasy cowboy.
