“I’ll give you a ride home when you’re ready,” I said and left him to his own thoughts.
I came out of the bedroom to find my clothes and found that Lydia and her friends had left. Lauren was sitting on the couch with Brook.
“I take it you need a ride.”
Lauren simply nodded, not even looking up. I got dressed, Brook took my hand, and we walked back to the house.
“Did she really?” Brook asked.
I just nodded. Lydia must have told everyone what happened. I could never have thought of anything more degrading than what she had done to Ken in the end. If I were him, I might have actually hit a girl over that one.
“I thought I would feel better afterward,” Brook said.
“I know what you mean. I wish I’d never done that.”
Brook stopped me and gave me a serious kiss.
“I’m so glad you said that,” she said, and then we began back along the path.
We left shortly after that. The car ride to State was strained. Lauren and Ken both got out at the AGR house. Tracy wanted details on the trip home, but I told her to talk to Brook. I was glad it was Tracy with me because we were good enough friends that she gave me my space. When we got to her house, she kissed me goodnight.

Chapter 14 – Know This, We’ve Noticed
Sunday September 20Sunday afternoon I took a drive to clear my head. I wasn’t surprised to find myself at Zoe and Roc’s farm. I smiled when she came out of the barn.
“You here to help me?” she asked.
“Sure.”
I went into the barn and began to muck stalls. When that was done, Zoe had me get out the rototiller and use it on one of the gardens while she scrubbed the stall floors before we put straw down. Doing farm work seemed to calm me. I enjoyed working with Zoe. While we worked, we were focused on the task at hand. She wasn’t like other girls in that she didn’t want to talk the whole time.
“Want to go for a ride?” Zoe asked when we were done.
“I’d like that.”
I helped her saddle two horses, and we rode back towards the river. It was a perfect Indian summer day. When we got close to the river, we could hear squeals and laughter. We found all the kids that lived back here swimming. Johan and Milo were tossing the younger kids into the water, to their delight. Roc got out of the water to greet us.
“Now I see why my sister didn’t want to come swimming with us,” he said with a big smile.
I looked over at Zoe, and she blushed. I smiled at her, which made her blush more. She urged her horse on, and I followed, to the laughter of Roc and the other kids. Riding behind Zoe gave me the perfect view of her muscular butt. She led us to a rise that overlooked the river.
“I’ve always thought this would be a nice place for a house,” she shared.
We got off the horses, and I got the full impact of the vista. The rise was high enough that it wouldn’t flood, and it looked out over the river into the forest beyond. A cow mooed in the distance, and we found each other’s hand. I pulled Zoe to me and smiled. She gave me an expectant look and then closed her eyes as if anticipating a kiss. I couldn’t disappoint her.
Zoe was obviously inexperienced but eager to learn. I introduced a little tongue to up the ante. She took to kissing like a duck to water. She surprised me with her passion. I was shocked almost beyond belief when Zoe unbuttoned my shirt and ran her hands over my chest and stomach. She pulled away and looked me in the eyes.
“Can I trust you?” she asked.
“Of course.”
She blushed and looked away.
“Zoe, I can tell that you want something. Just ask, and I’ll do whatever you want,” I assured her.
She wrapped her arms around me and buried her head into my chest.
“Could you get naked so I can see you?” she asked.
“But you want me not to do anything else,” I said, finishing her thought.
“Yes.”
I took off my cowboy boots and then my jeans. Zoe took a step back as I pulled down my boxers. She covered her mouth and looked at me. I slowly turned around so she could see me from every angle. Of course, my display had me halfway aroused.
“You can touch me if you want,” I said.
Zoe’s eyes darted up and saw me grinning at her. She stepped forward and ran her hands over my sides and then everywhere above my waist. This reminded me of when Tami had convinced me to play doctor when we were younger. I was surprised that Zoe hadn’t done something similar growing up. She was acting tentative, so I grabbed her hands, put them on my butt, and leaned down to kiss her. Once she had me like that, she wasn’t letting go. I enjoyed her massaging my butt. The stimulation was enough for me to go from half-hard to a full-on boner. Zoe felt it pressed up to her stomach.
I was shocked when she reached between us and grasped my member.
“Stroke it up and down,” I suggested.
