When Kathy woke in the morning Dedee had a glass of juice and 2 aspirin on the nightstand. She had already left and Kathy was glad to be alone. She could feel bruising from her drunken night's adventures. She ate some toast and drank the juice and tried to figure out what her future was to hold.
Over the next two weeks, Dedee acted more of a friend and less of a slave owner. They had talked about the past and the small town they lived in, along with Kathy's past and what led up to her being there.
Kathy didn't want to talk much about her family and mentioned she had not talked with them much since the short failed marriage. Her father had predicted exactly what was going to happen and she was ashamed.
If her Father only knew that she was walking around at work with assorted sex toys stuffed inside her at another woman's command he would probably die.
Friday night came and Dedee picked Kathy up again. This time they drove for about an hour to a bar named "8 Second's". The Trans Am was one of the few cars in the parking lot as most were jacked up 4X4's or Dual wheel trucks for towing. As they parked Kathy could hear the live band inside was going on break.
Dedee led the way in and went straight to the bar. As she pulled out a seat some rough-looking characters told her those seats were taken.
Dedee smiled and replied "Yes, by us." One guy started getting vulgar and mouthy instantly asking what they were going to do to earn those seats.
Within seconds Kathy saw Wade, Leroy, and 3 others step up behind the man asking if there was going to be a problem tonight. Wade looked firm and Leroy was grinning ear to ear and announcing he sure hoped there was a problem.
As he grabbed the loudmouth's shoulder the bartender yelled his name. She told him he better carry the guy outside before he hits him or he would have to mop this time. After a tense brief pause, the trouble makers evaluated their situation and quietly left.
Wade said "Sorry for the problem ladies, first-round goes on my tab. We don't usually let them, college kids, in here." He turned and wandered back towards the stage area as Leroy yelled he wanted up next. The rest of the group followed and they all sat at a table off to the side of the stage area.
While Dedee ordered drinks Kathy watched to see what Leroy had called next about. There was a mechanical bull just past the table they sat at and he climbed right on top. As he held his hat in the air and nodded at a man standing at a controller it went into a violent jumping and spinning cycle that threw him to the floor in a few seconds.
Over the next two hours, Kathy was mesmerized by taking a few shots but drinking mostly long necks and watching one man after another that was getting thrown for this thing. The band seemed to have a great sound and would play for 20 minutes and break for 10.
Kathy was grateful that Dedee was being her friend tonight and no humiliation games with the bottles were mentioned. It did seem as if Dedee knew the name and story of everyone in the bar that was this far from home. Dedee explained it took a different breed of people to feel comfortable here.
Kathy thought to herself these might be the people she felt safest around.
Wade eventually came over and asked the girls to come to sit at his table. He seemed to be in charge of this crew. Wade tried to engage in conversation with Kathy and she was eager to oblige.
She asked about why they kept trying to ride the mechanical bull if it just keeps throwing them off and no one could ride it.
Timbo, another guy at the table jumped in and explained it had settings from mild to wild and someone had ridden it and everyone else was trying to prove they could now. The object was to stay on for 8 seconds until the buzzer went off.
Kathy had never heard the buzzer.
She asked if Wade happened to have been the one who rode it and set the record. Wade laughed and said he hadn't been on that thing in years.
Wade turned and yelled "Catori" and a young Native American girl came to the table. Wade introduced Catori to Kathy and explained she was the one everyone was trying to match.
Kathy was shocked and asked if she really rode it and what was the secret? Catori grabbed Kathy's hand and led her up to the bull. Kathy was quick to say there was no way she could get on that thing and she was afraid of being hurt.
Catori's smile and assurance convinced Kathy to get on the contraption with her help keeping her skirt down as she wrapped her legs around and realized it was much bigger and wider than she had thought.
Catori made adjustments to the controls and it started to move slowly.
First, it just raised up and down from front to rear then after a short time it started to turn back and forth. When Kathy's back was to the table Catori hit a button the paused the spin motion and slowed the rocking down even more and stepped over to Kathy's side.
She spoke softly and told Kathy that as the back rises up to lean back and act like she is pointing her nipples to the sky. When the front rises to lean forward and use her thighs to hold her firm against the leather.
Then she slid her hands one at a time inside the skirt and pulled Kathy's thighs down farther which made her lips spread open in her panties. As the front rose back up again at this slow speed Kathy felt a vibration in the machine almost like small jerking that aroused her as she leaned forward.
Catori knew exactly what she felt and smiled, saying "It's ok, nobody else could possibly know everything you are feeling because they never ride slow." "Just keep your body squared with the floor and vertical and hold on with your thighs" was the parting statement.
The machine went back into slowly turning and Kathy met eyes with Dedee. All the guys at the table were talking about something and seemed to be distracted not interested in the machine moving this slow. Except for Wade.
Wade watched as the machine moved and Catori adjusted the speed after a minute so it moved faster. It seemed faster but smooth, not jerking or trying to throw Kathy off. This must still be mild she thought. She saw Wade walk to the bar and come back with two shots.
He nodded at Catori and she slowed the machine to a crawl again. He handed a shot to Kathy and toasted her on the bull riding tonight. After she took the shot he took off his cowboy hat and told her to hold the hat over her head with one hand and wrapped her other hand with the rope she had been holding onto.
He nodded at Catori and silently said "easy". Catori looked shocked about something and she started the machine back at a mild pace.
Kathy kept Wade's hat in the air above her head and her body vertical as the machine rocked and spun at a mild pace. Dedee at this time was taking pics from all sorts of angles and using Kathy's phone to do so.
Kathy was having the time of her life and rode for another 5 minutes. The machine came to a stop as the bartender called for the last call. Wade stepped up to the machine and grabbed Kathy from behind around the waist and lifted her off and back to the ground.
He smiled and told her he would need the hat back now.
As she handed him his black Stetson the twelve or so people left in the bar started chanting "8 seconds Wade, 8 seconds Wade, 8 seconds Wade." Wade just looked around and smiled back at them but shook his need no. He looked back and forth from Leroy to Catori several times. Leroy mouthed "Chicken shit" silently and Catori smiled and put one finger to her lips indicating she would keep a secret.
Kathy asked Wade, "Do you ride this thing?"
Wade asked her to "Back up in case I fall off, it's been a while."
Wade slid on top with ease as the bartender stood on top of the bar.
She shouted, "This is simple, no cell phones no pictures, and no videos!"
Catori started the machine and it explodes into action like an angry ex-lover. It bounced, it threw him forward and tried to spin while he was off the seat, it jumped in crazy patterns till the buzzer went off. After a couple more seconds he bounced off the floor mat and back to his feet.
