TEXAS LONGHORNS
By Waddie
Greywolf
Chapter 35
We made good time getting back. We got back around eight-thirty in
the evening. We were almost home by the time I came around from my
brief side trip. I felt good knowing my master and Titus were
bonding. I had a warm glow about me, feeling appreciated and
included by Gip and his wonderful family. They made me feel like I
belonged. Cindy and the Claymore girls prepared a light supper and
were waiting for us. They didn’t know exactly what time we’d get
in so they ate earlier. The three of us ate as we told Cindy and
her daughters about our weekend. Cindy didn’t ask about anymore
visits from my uncle. I don’t think she wanted to know. Gip
confirmed later, it really spooked her to hear about such things,
and it made her uncomfortable.
Even though it was early evening, we were three tired buckaroos.
We rodeoed hard all weekend and the drive back was a grind. We
unloaded the ponies, put them away in the barn and fed them before
we came to the house for supper, but we still had to put our
saddles and tack away and get the horses settled in for the night.
I figured after that I was going to be ready to hit the hay. From
the slow speed the sheriff and his boys were moving I figured they
were as tired as I was. I bid them goodnight and walked to my
coach. Gip, Little Gip, and Buck returned to the house. I walked
into the Double R and threw my stuff on the sofa. It was good to
be home, even if it was as simple as a motor-coach, it was still
my space. It had my aura within it. I marveled to myself I was
beginning to become more sensitive and aware of things like that
than ever before. Was my urgency and passionate need to help my
uncle unlocking new things within me? My visit to Master Waddie
and Titus was pretty spectacular.
I quickly undressed and showered. I thought about cleaning myself
and thought, ‘what the Hell,’ so I did and inserted my plug. I
knew, even as tired as I was, I’d toss and turn all night and not
sleep well without it. I had a feeling the next day was going to
be a lot of work. Out of habit, I locked the door to the Double R
and crawled into bed. I hadn’t changed the sheets from the last
time the sheriff paid me a visit and his wonderful, powerful,
masculine smell was still strong. I inhaled deeply, thought about
my handsome new slave brother paying homage to our master’s boots
and my cock got roaring hard. I was so tired I didn’t want to
jack-off, but damn it, I was so horny. It was a hot Texas night,
and I had the windows open on the double R. My bedroom is situated
on the very back of the coach with windows on either side for
ventilation. I heard someone walking outside and set up in bed.
“Pssst, Casey!” I heard the voice of Gip Jr.
“Yeah, what’s up, Bro?” I asked.
“Don’t wanna’ push or nothing, but I’s jes’ wonder’n if’n you
might like a little company this evening?” he asked.
“Sure, Bro, I’ll meet chu’ at the door,” I replied.
I thought it was funny, how I should be so horny and Little Gip
just happened to be outside the window of the Double R. I laughed
to myself and heard a wee small voice in my head. << Don’t
go look’n no gift horse in the mouth, Cowboy, >> Giggled
Little Bit.
<< You rascal, >> I gently teased him.
<< Can I stick around for a while? >> he asked.
<< Yeah, but not for long. If’n we do anything, it’s gonna’
be a quickie, ‘cause I’m dead tired, >> I replied.
<< Ole Bubba done ripped you a new asshole, huh, Big
Brother? >> he asked and roared with laugher.
<< He shore’ ‘nuff did, Little Brother, that giant/economy
size buckaroo was an awesome fuck; industrial strength, >> I
replied and shared a laughed with him.
I got to the door, unlocked it and there stood Little Gip with his
hat in his hand. He looked a little sheepish like it was his first
time at a whore house, and he didn’t quite know how to act. Again
I heard another bit of raucous laugher.
<< Whore house, indeed, >> chided my dear little
brother, << On wheels no less, >> he added.
<< Hesh up, Little Bro! >> I scolded him and laughed
at his nonsense.
“Come on in, Brother,” I urged little Gip.
Little Gip nervously entered and stood for a minute looking at me
in the raw. I took his cowboy hat, threw it across the room to the
chair, opened my arms to him, and we embraced. I could feel him
growing strong in his Wranglers, then I felt his hand gently reach
down to grab himself a big ole handful of the ‘longhorn.’
“Damn, Casey!” he exclaimed, “I know’d we seen each other in the
raw when we’s swimming in the creek, but...”
“Aww, don’t let it scare ya,’ none, Brother. Worst it can do is
spit at cha,’” I said and we laughed, “C'moan into the bedroom,
shuck off your clothes, and get in bed. I’m really tired, and I
know you must be,” I said.
“Yeah, but for some reason I’s horny as Hell. I’s jus’ hope’n you
was, too, and we’uns could help each other out. I got to think'n,
share'n a little love with ma' brother would beat the Hell out a'
wacking off,” he allowed.
“I agree, Bro. Shuck off them cloths, and let’s us git to it.
Cowboy up!" I declared.
Little Gip cleaned up in the big house before he went to bed, and
he smelled wonderful. After a brief bit of romantic foreplay, we
began to go to it hot and heavy. We decided to suck each other off
and assumed the sixty-nine position. Naturally, little Gip
discovered for himself my plug which immediately stopped our play.
“What’n the Hell is ‘zat!” he asked
I explained to him, but I didn’t know if we were going to continue
or not. He was wowed, tickled, and as curious as a cat on coffee.
Finally, after he felt around it quite a bit, I talked him into
popping it out and shoving it back in. He was even more taken
aback by its size, and when he popped it back in, he almost
fainted, but after a little proselytizing, I think I finally
convinced him of the utilitarian way of seeing things, and he had
to admit, as well as being sexy as Hell and a giant turn-on for
him, it might have its practical applications. Finally we resumed
our play and being a cowboy from his dad’s mold, he wasn’t shy
about anything. He quickly learned, fucking me with my plug while
he was sucking on me was a quick way to bring me to climax, and it
had the added value, it just might save his jaw from being
partially dislocated. It was only one more goodly reason for his
conversion to utilitarianism. He took full advantage of it, and we
shot almost at the same time.
Gip Jr. rolled on his back in satisfied exhaustion. “Can I hear a
big ‘amen’ for utilitarianism, Brother?” he exclaimed like a
preacher in a bully pulpit as he patted my plug one more time.
“Amen, to that, Cowboy,” I answered fervently. We cleaned up and
lay there for a while talking before falling asleep in each others
arms.
“Glad you’re here with us, Bro. ‘Preciate ya’ letting me bunk it
in with ya’ this evening,” he said.
“Glad you dropped by,” I replied and laughed, “You gotta’ git back
or can you stay for the evening?” I asked.
“No, I ain’t gotta’ be back. Dad don’t care, and mom won’t ask me
no questions. She might giggle and pat me on the butt, but that’s
about it. Ruby Rose and Linda Sue know better’n to say anything,
but if’n you’d be more comfortable, I can walk back to the house,”
he said.
“Nonsense! Don’t be silly! I’s jes’ think’n ‘bout you, Bro,” I
said.
“The only thing I can think on what might be a problem is my
little brother’s likely to come a’ knock’n at chore’ door,” Little
Gip said.
“I thought he was a little more uptight about that sort of thing,”
I said.
“I think dad’s kinda brung him around to being a little more loose
about things,” we laughed at his double entendre.
“Now cut that out, Cowboy. Yore’ little brother’s welcome in my
coach anytime,” I said.
“I didn’t mean nothin’ by it. It’s jes’ I hope my little brother’s
a bit more sharing with me. He’s got the finest ass I done seen on
a cowboy ‘til you come along, Case,” he admitted.
“No finer’n yours, Bubba,” I laughed at him reaching back to tease
his manhole a little.
“Now, cut that out or you’s gonna’ have to follow though with
yore’ teasing, Cowboy,” he said.
“Not tonight. We’s both too damn tired. Gimme’ a big sloppy
buckaroo kiss and let’s us ride of into the sunset together,” I
said in my best cowboy lingo.
Little Gip laughed and gave me a good kiss, one that lasted me
through the night.
* * * * * * *
The next thing I heard was my coffee maker going off the next
morning. I got up, got dressed, and let Little Gip sleep until the
coffee finished making. I took him a cup and set it on the night
table beside the bed. He rolled over and threw an arm around my
waist.
“Oh shit! Don’t tell me it’s morning already,” he groaned, “C’moan
back to bed, Cowboy. Let’s us stay in bed all day and save the
cowboy’n for tomorrow,” he groaned.
“Git chore’ lazy buckaroo butt up outa' that bunk, Pod’na’! I done
brought chu’ a cup a’ coffee. H'it so strong you gotta' chew it
three times before you take a swallow. We’uns gotta’ get up to the
big house to help our ma fix breakfast,” I drawled.
He struggled to sit up, and I handed him his coffee. He took a sip
and grimaced because it was so hot. “Ain't no doubt, mom really
does think on you as one a’ her boys, Case," he said.
“I couldn’t love her or your dad more, Gip, they’s been s’damn
good to me. I owe ‘em a lot. Since I lost my mom when I’s jest a
kid, it feels real good to be considered part of a family again.
That’s why you need to git chore’ ass in gear. Ma Claymore might
need some help, and I damn well plan to be there to give her a
hand,” I said.
“Gip took another pull on his coffee, and got up to put on his
clothes. It was still dark in the coach, but the dawn of a new day
was just breaking over the horizon. I could see in the dim light
just how handsome and sexy Little Gip was. He got the better parts
from both his fine looking parents and made a knock out cowboy.
Waddie Buck, on the other hand, was a carbon copy of his dad, his
granddad, and from pictures they showed me, his great granddad.
* * * * * * *
I threw my arms around Little Gip's shoulders and he threw his
around mine as we left my coach. We were laughing and talking
quietly as we got to the house. No one else was in the kitchen as
we came in. Cindy raised an eyebrow and smiled at us. She wasn’t
going to ask any questions. “I bunked it in with my brother last
night, Ma,” Little Gip went to her, gave her a quick peck on the
cheek, and headed for the coffee.
“That was brotherly of you, Gip. I know Casey probably gets lonely
out there by himself,” she giggled mischievously, “Where’s my kiss
from my other boy?" she asked.
I smiled, gave her a quick kiss on her cheek, and took the coffee
Little Gip poured for me. “Can we help, Ma Claymore?” I asked.
Cindy put us to work and soon the rest of the family came into the
kitchen one by one. The sheriff smiled to see Little Gip and me up
early to help Cindy. He knew in a minute Little Gip stayed the
night with me, ‘cause he knew his boy wouldn’t be up this early by
himself.
“Glad to see our new boy’s a good influence on you, Son,” he
whispered to Little Gip and chuckled.
“He is at that, Dad, a mighty fine influence,” he shot back, and
they shared a laugh.
* * * * * * *
The day wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be, although
we worked steadily until the sheriff rode out to get us. The days
began to fly by, and I began to settle into a comfortable routine
with the Claymores. Little Gip was right, Waddie Buck finally made
it back to the Double R a couple of times. The Claymore men were
very respectful of my personal time and usually never came back to
my coach unless they were invited. The boys also respected their
dad’s time with me and never said anything about it. It was almost
like I was back home with Dwayne, Logan, and my dad. The Claymore
boys and I made one more trip down to Bubba’s and spent the
weekend rodeoing with him, his boys, and O.C. Harris. We had a
great time. I got to know Mr. Harris a lot better and invited him
to stay with me if he came to the Claymore ranch one weekend with
Bubba and his boys. He smiled knowingly at me. He knew if I’d been
bunking it in with Bubba, we probably were doing a lot more than
just playing scrabble.
“I’m sure I’d enjoy that, Casey,” he said sincerely.
* * * * * * *
Mr. Harris did make it up to the Claymore ranch with the Swanseys
the last weekend before I was due to report to the ranch that next
Monday morning; however, something unexpected happened. It just
happened to be Curtis Langtry’s weekend off from the ranch and the
sheriff invited him, Brett Hall, and Curt Moss to the ranch for
the weekend. Gip called home to let me know in case I wanted to
wear my contact lenses. I thanked him later. It was great to see
my granddad again, but until I let him know I was his grandson I
forced myself to think on him as Mr. Curtis Langtry, foreman of
the Lazy 8 ranch. He was more than a little pleased to see me
again, I could tell; although, he tried to be as reserved and
dignified as possible. Still, the telltale signs were there.
Everyone else noticed, too. Brett and Curt were all over me
telling me how anxious they were for me to come work with them.
They were also very grateful to the Claymore’s for inviting them
out for the weekend. They told me he never said as much, but they
knew Mr. Langtry was anxiously looking forward to me coming to
work for him. They told me he was very impressed with me and told
the other cowboys about me. The Langtry, Texas contingent arrived
a couple of hours after the sheriff brought home the men from the
Lazy 8, although they were just in time for supper.
Gip laughed and had another choice comment. “Damn that Bubba, I
don’t know how he does it. He always arrives right at chow time,”
Gip roared with laughter. “Ain’t never know’d that man to miss a
meal,” the sheriff declared. We laughed with him. For all his
kidding with and about Bubba, Gip was always genuinely happy to
see Bubba, and his boys. He was also pleased and honored Mr.
Harris could make it up for a visit. Mr. Harris was a little taken
aback by my blue eyes, but he didn’t let on a bit. He already
greeted my granddad and the men from the Lazy 8. He raised an
eyebrow at me as he opened his arms to me. He gave me a big bear
hug and a kiss on the cheek. “You got the purttiest damn blue eyes
I think I ever did see on a cowboy, Son,” he chuckled, “If’n I
didn’t know better, I’d think they was natural,” he whispered to
me.
“Thanks, Mr. Harris. I’s afraid they might not look quite right,”
I confided.
“Naw, they be fine, Son. ‘Sides, I see ya’ let chore’ facial hair
grow back a bit,” he chuckled again as he draped his arm around me
to walk with me, “On you, it looks good. Makes ya’ look like a
tough hombre out of the old West,” he said. We shared a laugh.
I took Mr. Harris’ bag from him and started to lead him to my
coach. He stopped me. “I don’t mind bunk’n it in with the other
men in the barn, Son. I don’t think you was expecting Mr. Langtry
to be here,” he said.
“I don’t care about that, if’n you don’t, Mr. Harris. If’n Mr.
Langtry’s gonna’ get to know me, I ain’t a’ gonna’ hide nothing
from ‘em. I invited you to stay with me, and I ain’t back’n out of
my offer jes’ ‘cause he’s here. I’d very much like for you to bunk
it in with me, Mr. Harris. ‘Sides, what kind of cowboy would I be
if’n I was to go back on my word,” I grinned at him wickedly. O.C.
Harris smiled and looked at me like he wanted to kiss me right
then and there in the worst way, but decided the better part of a
good cowboy's manners was discretion. He was right. He figured
he’d wait until we were alone. I didn’t want him to have to wait
too long either.
“In that case,” he smiled, “lead the way, Son, and don't spare the
boot leather,” he said quietly. It didn’t escape the notice of any
of the men I was taking the handsome mature cowboy to my coach.
There was a lot of knowing smiles, winks, and grins exchanged, but
nothing was said. If my granddad wasn’t there, I have no doubt
Bubba and the sheriff would’ve been bouncing some choice comments
off each other. We arrived at the Double R, I open the door for
Mr. Harris, and motioned for him to enter. I followed with his
duffel bag and set it on the floor. The next thing I knew I was in
Mr. Harris’ arms engaged in a more than brotherly kiss. O.C.
Harris wasn’t holding back his affections. I reckoned I was pretty
damn fond of him, too, so what was the sense in either of us being
coy or holding back. I returned his kiss with equal passion.
“Damn, I been want’n ta’ do that since I laid eyes on you, Casey,”
he said sincerely.
“I'd be a damn liar if'n I's to say I ain’t shared them feelings,
Mr. Harris,” I smiled at him.
“Blue eyes or not, you still look so much like yore’ uncle, it’s
like I was hold’n him in my arms again,” he allowed.
Nothing more was said as he proceeded to kiss me one more time. I
could feel him growing strong in his Wranglers and the ole
‘Longhorn’ was growing just as fast. He reached his hand down to
my crotch and felt me.
“Damnation, Son, you’s jest as big as yore’ uncle was. Bubba and
Vince told me he got it from his daddy. Ain’t never seen Mr.
Langtry, but I hear tell there’s damn few ponies what’s hung as
well as him,” he allowed.
After we shared another intimate moment, I suggested we return to
the house as I knew Cindy would be waiting supper for everyone. I
helped prepare it and get everything ready. We walked back to the
big house with Mr. Harris’ arm around my shoulder. Everyone else
was there when we arrived and no one missed the wet spots at the
crotch of our Wranglers. Once again nothing was said, but there
were a lot of knowing smiles. My granddad even smiled. Talk was
lively around the table and supper was wonderful. I helped clean
up the table and wash the dishes with Little Gip and Waddie Buck.
We had lots of help and were finished in no time. We left the
older men and Cindy to sit around the table and talk. Afterward we
moved to the yard under the big oak trees Gip’s dad and granddad
planted many years ago. No one wanted to rodeo. It was still
pretty warm and Bubba decided to let the ponies rest from their
hot ride in the trailer. There were lots of things talked about,
but I didn’t say much. I was content to sit close to Mr. Harris
and listen.
There was something about O.C. Harris which calmed my soul. I
couldn’t put my finger on it, but I know he knew and sensed it,
too. I noticed my granddad watched us with great interest, but he
tried hard not to be obvious. I began to wonder if a part of me,
the spark my uncle gave me, was like a genetic memory. Did I
genetically remember the love and comfort the two men shared in
their youth? Was this what I was experiencing or was I just a
common slut attracted to any good looking man wearing a decent
pair of cowboy boots?
<< Common, you ain’t! >> came a voice with much
laughter in my mind, << I ain’t gonna’ comment on the ‘slut’
part. Oh, to Hell with it, of course I am, >> there was more
laughter in my mind, << I got a feel’n it’s about fifty
percent of your comfortable feelings about O.C., the other half is
pure, unadulterated slut! >> I mentally winced at the wee
small voice of my little brother laughing with glee at his
observation. He allowed the ‘s’ in the word ‘slut’ to roll on for
a while before he tacked on the ‘lut’ part.
<< You weren’t suppose to hear that, Little Bit, >> I
smiled to myself and lowered my head so no one could see my face,
<< I suppose you’re right. I guess I am a slut, but damn it,
Little Bit, there’s just some'um about Mr. Harris what’s more’n
just a stiff dick reaction. I feel a connection with him, like
he’s family or some'um, >>
<< I think your first idea was correct, Brother, >>
allowed Logan in a more serious tone, << I think it’s very
possible you inherited some of your uncle’s genetic memories;
perhaps, closely akin to eidetic memory or more aptly ‘genetic
Asperger’s syndrome,’ >> Logan laughed his ass off and I
figured he was making a joke, but for the life of me, I had no
idea what he was talking about. I just laughed, too, trying to
seem as intelligent as possible. Then, as quickly as he tuned in,
he was gone.
“What chu’ smile’n ‘bout, Cowboy?” Mr. Harris asked, put his arm
around me, leaned close, and whispered in my ear.
“Aww, don’t know’s you’d understand, Mr. Harris; howsomever, it
has to do with feelings I got about chu’ being part a’ my family,”
I replied.
“Why don’t chu’ think I’d understand, Son? I felt like you’s a’
part of me since the first day I done laid eyes on you at Bubba’s.
Not that you's the part I been missing all these years after the
loss of my little brother, but definitely a connection. That
feel’n ain’t never left me, and you being so caring about me,
makes me feel all the more like part of you and your family. I
think you’ve become part of a much greater family than just your
loved ones back in California,” he said.
“C'ain’t gainsay that, Mr. Harris. I feel like the sheriff, his
family, Bubba and his boys, and now you, are all a part of my new
family. Of course, I didn’t tell you about meeting the sheriff’s
dad and falling in love with him and his new mate.”
“Bubba done told me about that. Waddie Claymore’s a good man and a
fine cowboy. He and his brother, Gip Justin, used to whip the
pants off’n me and your uncle at rope’n. Yore’ daddy and Bubba
never beat ‘em. S’far’s I know’d, no one could beat ‘em except a
couple of the Crenshaw boys from down Bandera way, and that was
only on a good day. I can understand how you might take a shine to
him,” he said.
We turned our attention back to the main conversation around the
group. Cindy made apologies for her and her girls to leave the men
folk to talk on their own. It was just something country women
did. They knew the men wouldn’t talk about certain things with
them around. Cindy just wanted to give the men their privacy to
talk freely.
“You going back to the ranch with us Sunday evening, Casey?” Brett
asked.
“If’n it’s all right with Mr. Langtry, I will. Don’t see no need
in asking the sheriff or his boys to carry me all the way out
there when I can hitch a ride with you men,” I said.
“I’s kinda hope’n you would,” Mr. Langtry said, “We’ll be glad to
have ya’ ride with us. Just bring your clothes, any personal items
you need, and yore’ saddle. We got saddles you can use, but most
cowboys like to use their own,” he said.
“Yes, sir, I got my old work saddle with me. I’s real comfortable
with it. Is there any place to lock up valuables, sir?” I asked.
“Yeah, we got us a bobtail truck what follows us around the ranch.
It’s built like a tank, and it can go any wheres. We got big
individual lockers in it to store clothes, bedrolls, tents, and
personal items. You lock it with your own combination lock and
nobody can get into it but you,” Curtis replied.
I was happy with that and figured I could take my laptop and cell
phone to be in communication with the Claymores and my brothers
back home. I didn’t need to send Master Waddie, Titus, or the men
at the Broken Arrow e-mails. I had my own built in e-mail. I
really didn’t need it for my brothers either, I just thought it
might come in handy. I already made arrangements with Gip and
Cindy, I was going to tell my dad I was working for them, and if
he needed to get in touch with me, he could reach me through them.
They were understanding and thought it probably was a good plan. I
called dad during the week before my last weekend with the
Claymores to tell him about staying with them for a while. I told
him I’d probably be rodeoing on the weekends with Gip and his
boys. It wasn’t a lie because I would be working for Gip when I
was there on my weekends off and no doubt would be rodeoing. Dad
seemed to be pleased I’d found some good people I wanted to be
around for a while.
* * * * * * *
Around eight o’clock, Cindy brought out some iced tea, lemonade,
and a batch of baked goods for the men. It was a nice treat and
everyone enjoyed having something to drink and something sweet to
eat. Conversation continued until around nine when the sheriff
decided he was going to get an early start to bed. He reckoned as
how the next day was going to be a balls-out rodoeo day at the
ranch, and as much as he tried to keep it quiet, he knew there
would be a large crowd come from all over the county to watch or
participate. Most of his men at the station were rancher-cowboys
and if they weren’t on duty, they’d be there with their families,
for sure. Gip was an easy going man. He didn’t care. He enjoyed
all the folks and treated everyone like family. Mr. Harris and I
excused ourselves and began to walk to the Double R.
We heard Bubba call to us, "Ya’ll have fun now, ya’ hear?” he
grinned mischievously. All the other men smiled or laughed
quietly.
“Thanks, Bubba, we plan to,” shot back Mr. Harris laughing as he
dropped his big cowboy arm around my shoulder, pulled me close,
and we continued on our way. We heard more laughter but nothing
more was said. We got inside the Double R, and I offered Mr.
Harris a drink. I told him I had a bit of Southern Comfort left
over from Master Waddie’s stay with me. He surprised me by
accepting my offer, and I decided to have a small one with him. I
took a few sips of mine and was about to excuse myself to clean up
when O.C. took me into his arms and kissed me tenderly. For a man
who lived most of his life as a straight man, the old cowboy
certainly knew how to make love to a man, and he wasn’t shy about
it. He was about to pop my cork just making love to me, and I
could feel him, once again, growing strong in his Wranglers.
I excused myself and left the bottle on the table for him to help
himself. I quickly cleaned myself and wondered if I would scare
the man to death with my plug. Most men found it handy and a turn
on, so I decided to go with that thought and inserted it. I made
up my mind I was going to leave it behind when I went to work on
the ranch. I figured by the end of a full day working on the
ranch, I wouldn’t need my anal pacifier to lull me to sleep. I
reckoned I’d be out like a light in minutes after my head hit my
bedroll. I didn’t try to hide myself from O.C. with a towel. I
walked back into the living area fully nude. I almost lost it when
I saw Mr. Harris’ reaction. His mouth dropped open like he was
going to speak, but nothing came out. He couldn’t speak for a
moment. He stood and opened his big arms for me to come to him.
I was in his arms in a flash, and we continued where we left off.
I was so turned on by Mr. Harris, I started unbuttoning his
Western shirt. That was the only invitation he needed. I led him
to my bedroom and helped him off with his heavy buckaroo boots.
After I helped him remove his Wranglers, I had a chance to see Mr.
Harris as God intended him. For a man almost fifteen years older
than me, he was in perfect physical condition and what hung
between his legs was a fine example of God’s handiwork. O.C. was a
cowboy to the bone. It didn’t matter which one you chose, but the
one hanging between his legs spoke volumes. He wasn’t hung as
large as some men I’d been with, but what his penis lacked in
size, it made up for in sheer masculine beauty and pride. His cock
was similar to my dad’s and Uncle Rance’s and was as handsome as
the man who bore it. O.C. was one of the few men I ever been with
who never seemed to lose his erection, even after ejaculation.
Most cowboy's cocks were close to my size or a bit smaller, and
sometimes, were an effort of make love to and suck. Not so for
O.C. Harris. He had one of the most suckable, tasty penis’ I ever
found tucked away in the dark recesses of a cowboy’s Wranglers.
When I caught sight of his manhood, my mouth started to water
uncontrollably. I was drawn to his penis like a man who’d been
lost in the desert on a horse with no name for several, very hot
days. Mr. Harris was like a cool oasis offering much needed shade,
refreshment, and comfort. I must have been the same for him. I
can’t imagine he shared a bed with anyone since his wife passed
away many years ago. He was like a starving man who suddenly found
himself in front of a banquet. He told me later he felt like he
rejoined his youth from years ago to touch, taste the goodness and
feel the joy of being a young cowboy making love to his friend and
brother once again. He almost brought tears to my eyes.
He had no problem with my plug, but he did get a good chuckle out
of it. After he saw how handy it was, he was more impressed than
amused. He certainly impressed me. I wanted to suck him off and
almost did, but he was my guest, and he had other ideas. He wanted
a piece of my cowboy butt in the worst way, and it was my turn to
chuckle at his sincere need. Mr. O. C. Harris didn't need a second
invitation to step up into my saddle. He was ready to come out of
the shoot with the grandiose wild gusto of any bull rider who just
settled himself in, waiting for the gate to open. The moment my
gate was opened for him he began to ride me like I was the meanest
bull on tour and he wasn’t about to let me throw him off. He
wasn’t rough, but he was certainly strong in his determination.
The groans and sighs he was giving forth left me with no doubt
this cowboy was enjoying his ride. It was as if he stored up his
masculine needs to sexually express himself for just that moment
in time. As I stated earlier, O.C. wasn’t hung as well as some men
I’d been with, but in one respect he was like my dad. He was a man
who knew how to appreciate a fine piece of cowboy butt and wasn’t
about to let the opportunity for a good, hot fuck pass him by. A
man like O.C. or my dad knew how to throw a solid fuck into a man
that made him feel like they were fucking him with a damn
telephone pole. I tried to hold back my own personal passion for
his sake, but somehow sensed he was also like my dad in another
way. He wanted and needed my feedback to let him know he was doing
me some good.
“Oh, God, Mr. Harris. You’re fuck’n me so damn good! Take all you
need, sir. I’ll keep feed’n my cowboy ass up to you as long as you
can ride it,” I said.
“Holy shit, Casey! I imagined you’d be a fine piece of cowboy
flesh to fuck, but had no idea you’d make me feel like this.
Honest to God, Son, I ain’t felt this good fuck’n nobody since I
fucked your uncle all them years ago. He was a fine fuck and a
better man. I loved and enjoyed my wife, God rest her soul, but
fuck’n a woman jes’ c'ain’t compare with a fine, tight piece of
cowboy butt. Ole Bubba, he don’t kiss’n tell none, but I could
tell from the silly grin he got on his face when I boldly ask him
how you was in bed, he had no complaints. Oh, and by the way, Son,
you can show me any respect you feel necessary outside this coach,
but here, in your space, call me O.C. Any cowboy what can take a
fuck’n like yore’ allow’n me has got my respect,” he said. Mr.
Harris never missed a stroke the whole time we were talking. It
was like he didn’t know exactly how much sack time he might have
with me, and he wasn’t going to miss a moment of the ride. As good
as he felt up my butt, I didn’t want him to miss a stroke.
“Thanks, sir. I’d be honored to call you ‘O.C.’; however, outside
of here I’d jes’ be more comfortable calling you ‘Mr. Harris.’ I
c'ain’t rightly put my finger on it, but somehow, you remind me so
much of my dad. Even, right down to the way you be fuck’n me right
now, feels like the way he fucks me. I suppose, that’s about the
best compliment I could give a cowboy, O.C., ‘cause my old man
gives me the best damn fuckings I ever had. Like my dad, you fuck
me strong, hard, and determined to get the maximum pleasure for
yourself, but by doing that, you know my greatest pleasure is
giving you what you need to take from me. I miss my dad, but you
fuck’n me like you be doing gives my heart a little feel’n of
home,” I confided.
“That’s about the sweetest damn thing any man’s ever said to me,
Casey, and ever’ thing you’ve said makes sense. Glad chu’ feel
that a’ way, ‘cause I’m enjoying this ride too much to hurry on
home to the barn.”
I knew the talk was over as O.C. settled back down into some fine,
down-home, cowboy fucking, but every now and then I mentally
spurred my rider on with a comment. I would again compliment him
and beg him to fuck me harder; to ride me down hard like I was the
meanest damn bronc he’d ever been on what had a burr under its
saddle blanket. I would buck back to his hard thrust like I was
trying my best to buck him off. It didn’t take him long to get
into the spirit and O.C. began to fuck me with unbridled
enthusiasm like I was the meanest, untamed buckaroo on the rodeo
circuit.
Next time O.C. decided he needed another piece of cowboy butt, I
was going to make damn sure he wore them big, heavy buckaroo boots
of his. I wanted to experience the whole feeling of being
righteously fucked by this seasoned cowboy. Before I left home, I
got my old man to wear his pair of store bought legs with them
big, buckaroo boots of his. I told him, if I could wear the plug
for him, he could wear his boots for me. Surprisingly, my old man
didn’t put up an argument. He just handed me his booted legs for
me to help him with; oh, yes, and with a big shit eat’n grin on
his handsome, cowboy face. At first I was concerned my dad might
think my request was because I wanted him to be whole. Thankfully,
my old man knew me well enough to know his stubs were just as big
a turn on for me, but his big, heavy buckaroo boots were just too
great a temptation. I aways got fucked good either way. My daddy
knew how to take care of his boy and give him what he needed.
So it was, O.C. Harris was giving me exactly what I needed at that
particular moment. He was hard fucking me relentlessly, opening me
up like a damn prairie flower to his thrust, ever deeper and
harder each time. I was about to move up the wall in back of my
bed to get away from him. I was building up to climax too fast,
and to my way of thinking, way to soon. I wanted a lot more of
this cowboy’s brand of fucking. “If you don’t back off for a
while, Cowboy, you’re gonna’ lose your good ride pert-damn quick.
Yore’ about to ride your cayuse over the cliff!” I exclaimed.
“C'ain’t help it, Son, I got that barn in sight, and I'm about to
ride ju’ home. C’moan, hoss, take us home, give it up for your
cowboy, and he’ll git us both there.”
“You got it, pod’ner. Ride this old cayuse to the barn and don’t
spare the leather.”
I gritted my teeth in determination as I pushed my body back down
and under my rider, positioning my ass for his best access. No
more words were needed. O.C. took me at my word and began to fuck
me with a vengeance few men ever have. Damned if he wasn’t fucking
me just like my dad would. It was uncanny, but to say I was
enjoying it to the max would be an understatement.
“Oh, fuck!” he yelled, “I c'ain’t hold it no more, Son. I’m gonna’
shoot my load in your cowboy butt!” he exclaimed.
“Get it, Pod’na,’ C’moan, Cowboy. Show me what chu’ got, Stud. You
done won this rodeo, now take your prize. Gimme’ all that stored
up cowboy cream you got in them fine looking balls a’ yorn.' I’ll
catch all you can pump into to me, Stud,” I urged him.
“Oh, God, Casey. I’m coming. Fuck, oh, fuck! It feels so damn
good. I ain’t a’ gonna’ stop ride’n you, Hoss, until you shoot,”
he growled.
That's all I needed to hear. I felt a whole shit load of come
moving up through my body like it was coming from the depths of my
soul. I started shooting in all directions. I shot all over the
head board of my bed like a demented quick draw gun slinger
shooting from the hip and his bullets were going everywhere. O.C.
completely drained me before he even slowed his assault on my ass.
It was one of the hardest climaxes of my young life. I got come
all over me and over most of my cowboy rider as well. When O.C.
was satisfied he got my last shot out of me and my body was
vibrating from his continued, relentless hard fucking, he began to
slow his efforts, but not completely. He knew it was an electric
moment and he intended to get the most out of it for both of us.
He eased back on his powerful strokes and easily slipped into a
more loving, gently controlled fucking. He must have been trained
by the best, he was almost as good as my dad.
“Thank you, O.C. for that damn good fuck’n,” I finally managed to
get out. “Woah, dogies, Cowboy. I ain’t been fucked like that
since I left home,” I complimented him on his ride.
“I should be the one thanking you, Casey. I couldn’t believe it
when you asked me to share your trailer if’n we came this weekend
to rodeo. I had to live with Bubba and his boys teasing for two
weeks. They were good hearted about it. I didn’t say nothing, but
they could tell I was excited and looking forward to it,” he said.
“Glad you were, and I’m more glad you decided to come with Bubba
and his boys. I still c'ain’t get over how much like my daddy you
seem to be,” I told him.
“Maybe that’s because yore’ daddy and Bubba taught me how to fuck.
I’ll never forget it. Yore’ uncle was a’ pester’n me like a
blowfly on a wet donkey to fuck ‘em. I turned him down because I
never fucked anything or anybody. I played with myself, but my dad
caught me one time and told me if’n I kept it up I’d go blind. I
asked him if I could keep doing it until I needed glasses?” O.C.
winked at me and we rolled on the bed in laughter, still hooked
together. He was enjoying some good, slow, down home, gentle
fucking in my ass. He continued, “My daddy done the same thing, he
fell out laughing at me, but I knew he weren’t serious. It was
jes’ something he made up to try’n keep me from abusing myself too
much. It didn’t work, but I did worry ever’ time I had a hard time
seeing the blackboard in school,” he allowed. He got me laughing
again.
“Anyway, yore’ daddy and Bubba kidded me unmercifully about
turning yore’ uncle down. They lied to me and told me he was heart
broken. Hell, he was getting all he needed from Vince and Bubba,
but I didn’t know about it. Since I was an only child, I was kinda
naive. I didn’t have no older brother to tell me about such
things, so yore’ daddy and Bubba sort a’ took me under their
wings, so to speak, and became my big bros. Vince always was a
good hearted man and sincere about most things, but damned if
yore’ daddy didn’t have a twinkle in his eye. I asked him if’n
he’d teach me about fuck’n. He asked me if I jes’ wanted him to
tell me about it, or did I want him to show me how to fuck. I
wasn’t real sure what he meant, but I went for the latter. Before
I knew it, I had my clothes off, my legs in the air, and I was
getting fucked by yore’ daddy. He told me the only way to show me
how to fuck was for him to fuck me and teach me as he was fuck’n
me. He was so sincere about it, I believed every word he said. I
went along with it not realizing I was being had,” O.C. said and
roared with laughter. We rolled on my bed again laughing at O.C.’s
story. It had to be a true story, because it sounded just like
something my dad might do.
He went on with his story, “As you know, yore’ daddy is one Hell
of a fucker. He worked with me for a long time until he got me
opened up. He never once hurt me, but when he really started
fuck’n me, I thought I died and went to heaven. I couldn’t help
myself. It was the best damn feel’n I ever experienced to that
point, and I wanted to tell the world about it. Mr. Langtry and
Seth were away, but I’m sure Bubba must a’ heard me carrying on
all the way over to his folk’s place,” he said. By this time, I
had tears rolling down my cheeks I was laughing so hard at O.C.’s
story. “Next thing I knew, I was getting another, in-depth, fuck’n
lesson from ole Bubba and even though he’s considerably bigger
than your daddy, I was taking ever’ inch of his big cowboy cock
and love’n it. I couldn’t get enough. After Bubba got though with
me, Vince asked if I thought I’d learned enough or did I need
anymore lessons?” We were racked with laughter. I didn’t know O.C.
had such a good sense of humor and could laugh at himself. He was
just like my dad in that respect. My dad has a wonderful sense of
humor. He has to, to put up with me and my brother’s nonsense.
I urged O.C. to go on with his story. “I told your daddy, I
learned a lot, but I thought I might need a few more lessons. In
the back of my mind I was a’ pray’n I didn’t never pass their
coarse in fuck’n.” We laughed again at his take on his fucking
lessons from my dad and Bubba. “Them two cowboys fucked me
regularly until one evening they decided they’d taught me just
about as much as they could about fuck’n. They decided it was time
for me to fly solo. Vince done told me, he weren’t gonna’ turn me
loose on his little brother until he was satisfied I could fuck
him decent and proper-like. The only way he could be sure was for
me to fuck him and Bubba. Of course the two of ‘em were in cahoots
and were having a ball playing with my head, but they were good
sports, and I was enjoying the Hell out of the sex and their
attention. I fucked chore’ daddy first. When I got my dick inside
him and could feel him offer’n himself up to me, once again, I
thought I died an went to cowboy heaven. To Hell with jack’n off.
Having your dick inside somebody was a Hell of a lot more fun and
felt better, too. Vince shot buckets while I was fuck’n him, and I
never came so much in my life. When I got through, there was
nothing but silence."
'Well, Pod’na,' Bubba drawled to Vince, 'Did that, there,
tenderfoot give you a passable fuck’n?' he asked. Vince sighed
deeply and just grinned from ear to ear. 'E’aup, right
passable, Brother, downright passable,' he allowed. Damed if’n
them two didn’t laugh their asses off at me. Bubba couldn’t wait
to get his fuck’n. I didn’t know if’n I could do it. Bubba always
was bigger'n us other boys, and I felt like a deer trying to mount
a water buffalo. I done all right by yore’ daddy, but Bubba was
another story,” O.C. said and laughed. I didn’t know if I could
take much more of O.C.’s story, I was hurting so bad from
laughing, but I urged him on. I had to hear the rest.
“Well, I learned me a good lesson that afternoon. Big men fuck
jes’ as good as smaller men and in a few ways, better. Bubba
weren’t a man to lay back and let you do all the work neither.
When you fuck Bubba, you know you got a man on the end a’ yore’
ole hoss; same goes for your dad, yore' uncle, or you, for that
matter. By the end of that afternoon, they let their hair down
with me and told me what they done. They laughed their asses off.
Hell, I couldn’t be mad at ‘em. They was more’n jes’ friends. We’d
shared some pretty intimate moments, and I wouldn’t give anything
for the bonding I did with them men that summer. I loved ‘em then,
and love ‘em even more today. They became like family to me. Bubba
still is, but I shore’ as Hell miss yore’ uncle and yore’ daddy?"
O.C. lamented.
O.C. paused for a long moment and we shared a kiss. I thought he
was never going to stop fucking me. I wasn’t complaining. I was
riding one of the sweetest cowboy cocks in the whole of Texas. (no
pun intended)
“Finally, your uncle asked me again to fuck him, and it was with
pride and considerable confidence I accepted his invitation. After
that afternoon with Seth, we became almost inseparable. We were
both still fuck’n around with Vince and Bubba, but we didn’t talk
much about what we was doing with each other. Somehow, that was
special between us. I loved yore’ uncle, and I know he loved me.
When he told me what he was gonna’ do, going off to join the
Marines and all, it almost broke my heart. I begged him not to. I
wanted him and me to settle down together and ranch. We talked
about it for several years and now he was walking away, taking my
dreams and my heart along with him. I understood how his dad was.
I understood why he couldn’t stay there no more. I didn’t blame
him none. It broke all our hearts when Mr. Langtry done what he
done to Vince. Bubba wouldn’t speak ill of him. Hell, Bubba
wouldn’t speak ill of no man, but I know in his heart, he hated
Curtis Langtry for years.
"I stayed behind because I lost my dad in high school, and I was
the only person to help my mother run the ranch. Being their only
child, I was exempt from the draft. Then, when I heard my beloved
brother was shot and killed over there, I almost went to pieces.
They brought him home in a box and buried him down the road a ways
from our place. They never even opened the casket so’s we could
say goodbye to him. If’n it had’na been for Bubba, I wouldn’t a’
made it. Then, to make matters worse, we heard your dad was
killed, too. After that, I lost all interest in sex with men. I
tried messing around with Bubba a few times, but it jes’ weren’t
the same. Over the years, Bubba and I got together about twice a
year. We always seem to know when we need each other and one of us
will call. Bubba has been my rock over the years, but so has yore’
granddad. After we got word your dad was killed, Curtis became a
recluse. He was already hated by everyone in town, but then he
turned his back on them. He wouldn’t have nothing to do with any
of them. The only person he’d let visit him was me. He never did
turn against me, but he did Bubba for quite a while, but after
Bubba came back from Nam, it was a different story.
"I’d been dating a pretty little girl my last couple of years in
high school, and I was falling in love with her. I was sexually
attracted to her, but I wouldn’t do anything with her when we's
courting. I told her if we did get together, I wanted it to be the
first for both of us. I didn’t think what us boys did together was
important to our situation. Curtis helped me realize that. After
my dreams were shattered by the death of two of the most important
people in my life, I didn’t know what to do. I was so scared Bubba
wouldn’t make it back, I prayed to God like a demon with one foot
in a lake of fire for Him to watch over, protect, and let my big
brother come home to me. I remember lying in Bubba’s arms one
night after he come home, crying my heart out telling him I was
the only reason he made it home. I told him about talking to the
Old Man morning, noon, and night. He was so touched we lay there
and cried together. We let out a lot of built up frustration and
garbage that useless war brought to all of us.”
O.C. began to be more interested in talking with me than fucking
anymore and slowly withdrew his still rock hard penis. I got a
damp towel and cleaned us, and then I asked him to put my plug
back in for me. He got a kick out of that and had no problem
satisfying my request. I told him why I wanted it returned, and he
thought it was a great idea. As we lay in each others arms, I
started him up again with his story with a question. “What made
you decide to get married, O.C.? Did you talk with Bubba?”
“I did some. Bubba never has any hidden agendas. If’n he even has
an agenda he’s totally up front about it. He told me we still had
each other, and he didn’t plan on giving up my love. He still
wanted and needed me, so why couldn’t we be like brothers? I could
get married, but I didn’t have to give him up neither. It weren’t
like we’d be cheat’n on our wives if’n we’s to get away by
ourselves to go hunt’n or fishing together. Hell, Bubba’n me, we’s
tighter’n lots a’ brothers. Since my dad died the summer before I
entered high school, I went to yore’ granddad, after we buried
yore’ uncle, and told him I needed a dad to talk with. I think
that did more for Curtis than anything I ever done for him. He sat
there and cried like a damn baby. I was brutally honest with him.
I told him about my love for his boys, my love for Bubba and how
mixed up I was. I knew in my heart I weren’t never gonna’ find
nobody like them three men to settle down with. ‘Sides, Bubba was
already married and had a kid by the time he returned.
"I wanted Curtis’s opinion about asking Annie to marry me. I
thought I was gonna’ get me one a’ them long winded lectures with
a lot of Hell fire’n damnation preaching about the vile, evil
abomination of homosexuality and the unforgivable sinfulness in
God’s eyes of two men sleeping with one another. He surprised the
Hell out of me. He didn’t even wince when I graphically told him
about me’n yore’ uncle’s sexual relationship. After I finished, he
quietly told me a story I’ll never forget as long as I live.
"It seems Curtis Langtry and my daddy, were best buds growing up.
He told me how their relationship grew and blossomed into more
than just a friendship. He told me he couldn’t help himself, he
fell deeply in love with my daddy, and they began to have sex with
each other. I never imagined I would be hearing a story like this
from Curtis Langtry. It was so bizarre, I hung on to his every
word. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It explained a lot of
things, like why my dad would allow me to be with Vince, Seth, and
Bubba so much. He had a physical connection with them men, or at
least, the Langtry boys. Bubba? Well, Bubba’s just Bubba. To know
him is to love him.”
We agreed and shared a laugh. I urged him to go on. I was clinging
to his every word and O.C. seemed to be finding a great release
and almost a relief telling me his story.
"Curtis told me as he and my dad got older they talked about being
together, but living in such a small community, it would be hard
to hide their sexual attraction to each other. They decided to get
married, live near each other but not give each other up, like
Bubba suggested to me. I told him what Bubba told me, and Curtis
agreed it could work. I was floored. It really was like I had a
dad to talk with, and he was understanding about my problem. He
went on to tell me it worked fine for him and my dad for a good
while, and they were happy. Curtis married, and my dad was his
best man at his wedding. Curtis was my dad’s best man at his
wedding. After Curtis had Vince, things couldn’t have been better.
"They’d go off by themselves for a weekend to rodeo in another
town and fuck their brains out when they weren’t rodeoing. They
also supplemented their incomes with their winnings, so their
wives didn’t complain. Everything was working out just fine.
Until, one day there was this traveling evangelical preacher who
come to town and put up a big canvas tent for revival services. As
Curtis described him, the man was a weaseled faced little son of a
bitch who had bad breath and combed his thinning hair until it was
piled as high on his head as he could get it to make him look
taller than he really was. You know cowboys have an old saying
about the believability of preachers: the higher the hair, the
closer to God.”
O.C. paused for a minute as we laughed at his cowboy homily, then
he continued, “The preacher’s hands were always cold and wet when
he shook yours. Curtis said he wouldn’t shake your hand like a man
should; he’d take your hand in his clammy little paw, then put his
other hand on top of yours and just hold it, while looking deep
into your eyes with his beady little rat-like eyes like he was
looking into your soul for something good to eat. He’d get a
self-righteous saccharine smile across his ugly pudgy face that
looked like he had an insider’s knowledge of something you didn’t
have a clue about. Curtis described him as being a thoroughly
disgusting little man. He said he thought he was a phony from the
first time he met him.
"Curtis hated him immediately and wanted nothing to do with him or
his revival. He said the worst thing about the preacher was he
made Curtis feel itchy all over like he’d given him scabies when
he shook his hand. As Curtis told me the story, tears started
running down his cheeks. He wasn’t crying as such, he just
couldn’t seem to control the water leaking from his eyes. He
paused for a long moment until he could get himself together, then
proceeded to tell me my dad told him he was going with my mother
to one of the meetings. My dad told Curtis he wasn’t particularly
interested, but he wanted to keep peace in the family. I guess dad
went and the preacher preached a Hell fire, damnation sermon about
the wickedness and abomination of a man sleeping with another man
as with a woman.
"According to Curtis, the oily little bastard scared my dad to
death and got him to thinking about being eternally damned to a
dark pit or a lake of fire. I guess my dad went to Curtis with his
concerns and Curtis tried to reason with him. My dad would have
none of it and eventually confessed his sins to the little
bastard. The power hungry preacher went to Curtis and told him if
he didn’t repent and confess his sins to him, he would be forever
damned to Hell. Oh, yes, and there was one more little rider to
Curtis’ forgiveness. He had to take a mortgage on his ranch and
give it to the preacher as a love offering so he could continue
God’s work saving other sinner like Curtis and my dad. If he
didn’t, the preacher would tell their wives and their community
about the men’s wicked ways.
"Curtis was rightfully devastated, but he loved my dad so much he
figured he probably got scared and had a weak moment. He was
probably beguiled by the serpent to get my dad to admit his sins
to him assuring dad they would go no further than him. Not only
did he blackmail Curtis, he did the same to my dad. Curtis knew he
had to talk with his bonded mate and get him to present a united
front against the little weasel. Curtis said he rode his pony over
to our ranch and quietly approached the barn. My mom told him the
preacher and my dad were out there praying to save my dad’s soul.
When Curtis walked into the barn he found my dad with his
Wranglers down around his boot tops and the preacher on his knees
in front of him sucking on my dad’s dick like an orthodox Jew
praying at the wailing wall. He said my dad looked up at him with
a look of horror on his face and tried to hide his shame by
covering his face with his hands.
"Curtis pulled the preacher up by the scruff of his neck and
proceeded to beat the living crap out of him. He damn near did,
too, before my dad could get his pants pulled up and stop Curtis
from doing permanent damage to the son of a bitch. Curtis told the
preacher, he and his revival tent better be out of town by sundown
or he would personally see to it the little bastard would never
see another sunrise. The pompous little sum'bitch challenged
Curtis and told him he wouldn’t be so sure about that after he
convinced the town folks what an abomination they had living in
their midst. Curtis just laughed at him, pulled his pig sticker
out of his back pocket and flipped it open. He was so angry he was
ready to castrate the stupid little man right there. My dad begged
him not to and told him it would be their word against the
preacher’s. My dad added if the preacher caused either of them any
grief, they would hunt him down like a wounded animal and complete
the deed. He would live the rest of his life as a bible thump’n
eunuch.”
“Oh, my God!” I quietly exclaimed, “No wonder my granddad went off
the deep end with religion,” I exclaimed.
“Yeah, it really hurt him. My dad said some pretty bad things
about their relationship, and then for Curtis to find the man he
loved giving himself to a piece of shit like the preacher was just
too much for him to handle, spiritually, or emotionally. He
stopped having anything to do with my dad and started going to
church with his wife and making his kids go whether they wanted to
or not. He distanced himself from them and his wife and began to
see all the flaws in everyone around him. He began to be consumed
by fundamentalism like it was the answer to everything in life,
like it was the fountain of truth, and he couldn’t drink deeply
enough of it; however, it seemed the more he drank the thirstier
he became. There was no end to his evangelism. Finally there was a
complete break between him, his family, his wife’s family, and my
dad and mom. He came to visit my dad in the hospital the evening
before he died and tried to preach to him to seek forgiveness for
his sins. My dad assured him he was forgiven. The only person in
this world or heaven who he needed to ask forgiveness of was from
the man he loved all his life, Curtis Langtry. With tears running
down his face, Curtis told me he would never forgive him. He was
angry with my dad until he died, and for sometime afterward.”
“Did he ever take it out on you, O.C.?” I asked.
“Never! In fact, he was the only one to help my mom and me when
times got tough for us. We almost lost the ranch a couple of
times, but Curtis always came through. We never asked, but he was
always right there. He never tried to push himself on us, but he
was there if we needed him. My mom knew all she had to do was pick
up the phone and call Curtis Langtry, and he’d be there to help in
minutes. He toned down his act a little after my dad died. He lost
his wife several years before. I heard tell she died of loneliness
and a broken heart. To be honest, the more I think on it, I think
that’s why my dad passed away so young. He loved me and my mom,
but without Curtis, he just seemed to give up on life. I don’t
think he ever forgave himself or got over what he done to Curtis.
He felt like the way Curtis turned out was his fault. As I think
back on it today, he was probably right. In his grief, he stopped
eating. He wasted away to nothing. Finally, his immune system was
so weakened, he caught pneumonia and died,” O.C. lamented.
“My God! What those men must have gone through. No wonder my
granddad’s had such a hard time with his life,” I said sadly.
“Don’t get the wrong impression about me telling you all this,
Casey. I love yore’ granddaddy like he was my own dad. I get him
off by himself ever’ Christmas to tell him I love him and
appreciate him. I jes’ thought you should know these things, and
ain’t nobody else knows ‘em but Bubba’n me,” he confided.
We talked some more, and I felt myself falling in love with O.C.
Harris. I know, I fall in love with every cowboy who throws a
decent fuck into me, but this was different. Every love you
experience in life is different. Don’t mean one is better than
another, they’re just different. Love is love, no matter how you
try to define it. All I knew at that moment was, there was a
deeper bond between O.C. Harris and me than anyone suspected.
