( 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒏’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 ) : inspired by @allurecile bc i loved their jake fic so much and this thought has been in my head for forever.. jay pls become a farmer. & pls leave reblogs and feedback, they are much appreciated !! ♡︎
birds chirped and the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, casting a gentle golden glow across the fields. dew-kissed blades of grass shimmered in the early morning light, while the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze added to the tranquil symphony.
the farm slowly awakened, with the silhouette of a barn emerging from the shadows and the distant silhouette of livestock beginning to stir, signaling the start of a new day.
you step out into the wide yard, yawning and stretching your arms out. you closed your eyes as the soft morning breeze swiped your cheek.
looking out over the large acres of your home, you spotted your husband crouched down near your crops. he wore his favorite flannel shirt, the sleeves rolled up as he cared for the growing vegetables in your garden. you smiled softly, admiring how hard he worked.
he looked up from what he was doing, spotting you on your home’s porch. his face broke into a wide smile, eyes lighting up warmth and affection. he set down his tools and took off his gloves as he stood up to walk over to you.
“good morning,” jay said, his voice gentle and filled with love.
“good morning,” you replied, feeling a surge of happiness at the sight of him.
he reached out and places a hand on your belly, where your baby is growing steadily each day. you were about seven months pregnant, and both you and the baby were the healthiest you had been, thanks to jay.
the gesture is tender, filled with a quiet joy that you both share. you cover his hand with yours, feeling the connection between the three of you.
"good," you assure him. "just a little sleepy."
he chuckles softly. "i was trying not to wake you."
"you didn't," you say, shaking your head. "i just wanted to come out and join you."
jay smiled once more, placing a kiss on your forehead and then your lips. he wraps his arm around your shoulders, pulling you close.
together, you walk through the garden, taking in the beauty of the morning. the sun is rising higher now, casting long shadows and illuminating the dewdrops on the leaves and grass. the air is filled with the earthy scent of soil and the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers.
as you stroll through the rows of vegetables and herbs, you talk about your plans for the day, the excitement of preparing for the baby's arrival, and the simple joys of life on the farm. jay listens intently, his hand never leaving yours, his presence a constant source of comfort and strength.
“she’s gonna love the flowers,” you smiled, squeezing his hand.
“and the animals,” he added, looking over at the barn. “they’ll love her.”
“daisy already does,” you giggled, remembering how one of your mares wouldn’t stop rubbing her nose against your belly when it started to grow.
jay nodded in agreement, smiling at the memory.
“yeah, but i’m not so sure about cocoa.” he said, reminding you of the younger horse who hadn’t been to fond of you ever since you became pregnant.
you sighed, “i don’t know why he’s been acting that way..”
jay rubbed your back comfortingly, “you know how much he loves you. he doesn’t want the attention on anyone else but him when it comes to you.”
you nodded, continuing your stroll with him.
“can we go see them?”
jay nodded, a thoughtful smile on his face. “of course, honey.”
you followed him toward the barn, the path lined with blooming wildflowers and the morning sun casting a warm glow over everything. as you approached the barn, the familiar sounds of the horses’ gentle nickers and the clatter of hooves greeted you.
jay opened the barn door, and you stepped inside, where the scent of hay and horses was comforting. daisy was the first to notice you, and she trotted over with a friendly whinny, her ears pricked up in greeting. you reached out to pet her, feeling her soft nose against your hand.
cocoa, on the other hand, was in the far corner, watching you with curious but cautious eyes. jay noticed this and gave you a reassuring glance before carefully approaching the younger horse.
“hey, cocoa,” jay said softly, extending a hand. “it’s okay. we’re just here to visit.”
you watched as jay gently bridled cocoa, his calm and steady presence seeming to ease the horse’s nerves. soon, cocoa’s stance relaxed, and he allowed you to give him a gentle pat.
as you were enjoying the interaction, you felt a familiar fluttering sensation in your belly—your baby was moving. you chuckled softly and placed a hand on your belly. jay looked over and smiled, sensing the moment of connection between you and the baby.
just then, daisy, who had been happily munching on some hay, suddenly jumped like she’d been zapped by a static shock. she let out a comical squeal and took a few surprised hops backward, her mane flying wildly.
“whoa!” you exclaimed, trying to stifle a laugh. “i think the baby gave her a good kick!”
jay looked over, trying to hold back his laughter as daisy continued to prance around with exaggerated steps, clearly puzzled by the sudden sensation. “looks like she’s not used to the baby’s morning gymnastics..”
you gently approached daisy, who was now eyeing you with a mix of curiosity and wariness. “hey, easy,” you cooed, patting her gently. “it’s just the baby saying hello.”
jay knelt beside daisy, trying to calm her with soothing words while trying to suppress his chuckles. “there’s no need to dance, daisy. it’s just our little one showing off.”
the mare seemed to slowly realize that there was no real threat and cautiously approached you again, her ears still flicking back and forth.
“i guess the baby’s kicks are a little more dramatic than we thought,” you said with a grin, reaching out to give daisy another reassuring pat.
“definitely,” jay agreed, still laughing softly. “she’ll get used to the routines soon enough.”
with daisy settling down and the morning sun climbing higher, you and jay spent a few more moments enjoying the peaceful barn. the day ahead seemed even brighter, filled with the promise of more light-hearted moments and shared laughter as you prepared for the new adventures with your growing family.

Meteors
Natasha Romanoff x Female Reader
When you start working on the Barton’s farm, you meet Natasha
Note: It’s been wayyy too long since I’ve been able to make time to write. Hope y’all enjoy this Nat fluff!
Natasha Masterlist 1, Natasha Masterlist 2, Natasha Masterlist 3, Main Masterlist
Natasha watches from the front porch as a truck she’s unfamiliar with pulls up in the driveway. Just when she’s about to go ask Laura if she had any idea who was arriving, the woman steps out onto the porch.
“Right on time,” Laura comments mostly to herself.
“Who’s this?” Natasha asks, her attention is piqued.
“The new farmhand,” Laura explains. “She’s been working here every week for about a month now. Clint didn’t tell you?”
Nat shakes her head.
“Well, she’s pretty great at it,” the older woman continues. “Come meet her.”
Natasha follows Laura down the steps and to the truck. You are unloading a bale of hay from the bed of the truck when they walk up.
“Hello!” Laura greets you. She’s always so kind. “How are you?”
“I’m doing well,” you reply before turning around to actually see her. “How are you?”
You drop the bale onto the group and turn to see more than one person standing there.
“Oh hi,” you say to the new person. She politely lifts the corners of her lips, but doesn’t quite smile at you.
“This is Nat,” Laura says. “Nat, this is y/n.”
“It’s very nice to meet you,” you say, holding your hand out for her shake. She takes it in hers and the eye contact you make lingers.
“Oh, I forgot I have cookies in the oven,” Laura says. “I’ll be back. Nat why don’t you get to know y/n a bit.”
With that, Laura leaves you there with this beautiful stranger. God, she really is beautiful. You both stand there a little awkwardly before you make a move to talk to her more.
“So, how do you know the Bartons?” You ask.
“I work with Clint,” Nat says. You try not to let yourself go weak in the knees at hearing her voice for the first time. “You’re probably familiar with what we do.”
“Partially,” you say with a soft laugh. “I better get started for the day. I’ll see you around?”
Nat nods and walks back towards the house. You work the rest of the day with Natasha on your mind. She had uttered barely ten words to you, and yet you can’t get her out of your head.
A few days go by before you see her again. It’s early in the morning when you arrive. Natasha is sitting in a rocking chair with baby Nate in her arms. You walk to the porch to say hello.
“Good morning,” you greet her.
“Good morning, y/n,” she says. You try memorize the way your name sounds coming from her lips.
“He’s up early,” you comment.
“Yeah, a little too early. I offered to hang out with him while Clint and Laura sleep in,” Nat replies.
You smile at that.
“You’re here earlier today,” Nat says. You try not to overanalyze why she knows your schedule so well. It’s probably just the spy in her, you think.
“I am indeed. The cows need some extra work today, so I got here early,” you explain. “Come on out to pasture if you get bored. I’ll be there all day.”
“I just might do that,” Natasha replies.
You get a boost of confidence from her words. After you bid her a farewell for now, you drive out to the cattle field.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Barton family wakes up. The kids eat breakfast and start chores. Clint asks Nat to help him with some outside work.
A few hours go by and Laura calls everyone in for lunch. Natasha looks around the kitchen for you, but she doesn’t see you.
“Is y/n eating with us?” She asks.
“She likes to stay out there and work, so I usually take her some food after we eat,” Laura explains. She tries to read Nat’s expression. “You could take it to her today if you want.”
“Oh, sure. Yeah I can do that,” Nat says.
Laura smiles knowingly. The family eats and then Natasha makes her way to you.
At the sight of you wrangling cows, she can’t help but smile. You’ve shed the light jacket you were wearing this morning and she can see how strong you are.
“Oh hey, Natasha!” You say once you see her.
“Hey,” she replies, her head cocked to the side a little to examine your current position. “Do I even want to know what you’re doing?”
“Probably not,” you reply. “Is that what I think it is?”
“Lunch,” Nat says. “Laura’s famous grilled cheese.”
You walk away from the cows and towards Natasha. She stands by the truck, so you open the tailgate and sit on it. You pat the area next to you as a way to ask her to sit.
She hands you the lunch bag and lightly blushes when your hand touches hers.
“Thank you, Nat,” you say. “Wait, do you prefer Nat or Natasha?”
“Either one,” she says, shrugging. “Technically my name isn’t Natasha, but I’ve always gone by that.”
“That is a fun fact,” you say. Nat laughs. You try to memorize the sound. “I like Natasha.”
“Then call me Natasha,” she says.
There’s a silence, but it’s not awkward. You eat your sandwich and watch the animals move around the farm. You wonder what Natasha is thinking about as she swings her legs and sits next to you.
“It’s so peaceful out here,” the redhead breaks the silence. “I feel like I can actually think and be free.”
“Yeah, I love it. Being out on a farm is my comfort place. So far, this one is my favorite,” you say.
“Why’s that?”
“The people. Clint, Laura, the kids,” you say. “And you.”
“I’m already a reason?”
“You were a reason I love this place the second I met you,” you say. You didn’t mean for it to come across so cheesily, but Nat doesn’t seem to mind. “Hey, how long are you staying here for?”
“A few more weeks maybe,” Natasha says. “Why?”
“In two weeks there’s supposed to be a meteor shower. Maybe we could come out in the field and watch it together?”
“Sounds fun,” Nat says, trying to act casual.
“I better get back to helping Clint. He’ll be pissed I let him stack bricks alone.”
You chuckle at her words. You want to ask her to stay, but at least you know you’ll be seeing her around.
And from that point on, Natasha brings you lunch every day. Laura doesn’t even have to ask her to do it. Nat wants to. She seems to sit with you longer and longer each day.
It all leads up to the night of the meteor shower. You wear a nice shirt and jeans and drive over to the farm.
When you knock on the door, Lila answers. You greet the family and have dinner with them. Natasha is in her element here. You can see how she lights up around the kids. And she loves watching you interact with them too.
Once dinner is over, you and Natasha sneak outside. You drive out to the field and lay a blanket down in the bed of the truck.
“Very fancy,” Nat comments.
“Only the best for you, Natasha,” you joke. “Laying down is the best way to see it.”
You both lie down a respectable distance from each other, but close enough that you both have butterflies.
“You know when I was a kid, I loved anything that glowed in the sky,” Nat opens up. “Stars, planets, and things that didn’t even really have to do with the sky. Like fireflies.”
“That’s really sweet, Natasha. I love those too,” you say. “There’s so many out here in the summer.”
“I wish I saw them more.”
“You’ve gotta move out here I guess,” you say. “Oh look!”
You point to the first meteor falling. Nat watches with bright eyes. You can’t drag your eyes away from the way she glows in the night light. Her green eyes are illuminated by the scene happening in the sky.
Natasha turns her head to the side and catches you staring.
“I’m sorry,” you mumble, looking away a bit.
“Don’t be,” Nat says. “But you are missing the show up there.”
“It’s fun to watch you watch it,” you say. “You’re beautiful, you know?”
Natasha definitely blushes at that. Her hand finds yours between the two of you. You’re it sure who leans in first, but you end up just centimeters from her lips.
“Can I kiss you?” Natasha asks.
“Please,” you reply.
The distance is shattered between the two of you. Natasha’s kiss is soft, but firm. Her intentions are clear as she moves her perfect lips over yours.
“Now we’re both missing the show up there,” Natasha jokes when she pulls away.
“So worth it,” you say.
You kiss Natasha again. And again. And a few more times before you decide to go back to the house.
“I’ll see you in the morning?” You ask her once you’ve walked up to the front door together.
“Yes,” Natasha says. “Thanks for tonight, y/n. I haven’t enjoyed myself this much in a long time.”
“Anytime, Natasha. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight,” she says.
You hug her for the first time and love the way she feels in your arms. It’s like she is perfectly shaped to be in your grasp.
You share a brief kiss before you let her go inside. As you walk back to the truck, you can’t help but do a little happy dance. Natasha watches through the window and laughs.
This is the start of something amazing. You can feel it.
You’re falling for her faster than the meteors fell in the sky. Little do you know, she’s falling for you in the exact same way.

Precious🩵
Summary: Reader gets separated from Daryl at the start and finds a farm with a wonderful family, she finds out she’s pregnant and one thing leads to another and a new group settles onto the farm
•Masterlist•
Tumblr media
I waited for Daryl at our little house in the small town we grew up in, I had been gone to the city for the day when everything happened, I was able to find a car and drive back home praying that Daryl would be there waiting for me but I knew it would be a long shot, I waited for a few days until the food ran out and decided if I was ever going to find him again then I’ll have to go find him myself
So I pack up my bag with essentials, clothes, water, snacks that were left over and weapons for Daryl’s hunting collection, I drove for what felt like forever no signs of human life only blood and rotting corpses who some how took over the earth
I came to the interstate seeing the cars upon cars piled up blocking my way so I turned around hoping to find a back road to get around when I spotted a sign “Greene’s Farm” if the farm was still standing maybe it could have some food or more water, as I pulled up the drive way to a large white farm house people filtered out, it felt surreal to see people, live people
I got out of the car as the came down the stairs, it was an older man a girl around my age and a younger blonde, then what seemed to be an older couple and a younger boy
“How’d you find this place?” The man with the white hair asked
“I’ve been on the road looking for my husband, I got turned around in the road and saw your farm sign, I just need some rest” I say as I run my hand down my belly
When I went to the city when everything happened I found out I was pregnant and I was over the moon about finally starting a family with Daryl but now I’m scared, scared about delivery, this baby never meeting their wonderful father
The man noticed my movement and his harsher demeanor changed to one of pity
“Come dear we’ll get something set up for you”
Tumblr media
They let me settle in the spare room after feeding me some eggs and fresh fruit, the house was cozy and they are lovely people but I can’t help that feeling in the pit of my stomach, the feeling I always got when Daryl would be gone too long, he always soothed me even if he didn’t talk much he showed me comfort with actions of love and care
Whenever he scrounged up enough money he’d buy me little gifts, he got me a silver necklace with a bow on it which I never take off, I never got a wedding ring because I refused and said we should keep the money for the future and that I don’t need some diamond to show my love for him
“Knock knock” I look up to the doorway and see Maggie standing there with a wide smile
“Daddy wanted me to check on you, well both of you”
“Oh yes I think we’re okay, I only found out about two weeks ago”
“That’s when you first had symptoms?” She asked as she sat next to me on the bed
“Yeah, the nausea and a little bump”
“I’d say you’re about two months pregnant then, signs only show up later, does the father know?” I shock my head feeling my heart clench in pain
“I never got the chance, I don’t even know where he is but somehow in my heart I believe we will find our ways back to each other” she ran a comforting hand up my back and smiled
“You’ll find him sweetheart you never know what might happen!” She said before she left the room giving me space to finally rest
Tumblr media
It’s been 2 months now on the farm and it was peaceful for some reason this farm has gone untouched from the world that’s filled with death, I haven’t stopped looking for Daryl, every other day I’d search farther and farther out but there was no sign, as I was walking back to the farm I saw two men and Otis running through the field, I got back to the house and Maggie told me of everything that was happening, Otis accidentally shot the boy who Hershel was working on now
I sat outside on the steps as the young boys father came out obviously in shock covered in blood, he sat next to me completely disheveled, I took a rag I had in my pocket and wiped some blood he smeared on his face
“Hershel is a good surgeon and a great man, your son is in good hands” my words seemed to calm him down and what he needed right now was a distraction it seems
“I remember when my wife found out she was pregnant with Carl, we were young but I was excited this little life was gonna be born, so how far along are you?”
“About 4 months now, I’m not sure if it’s a boy or girl, I got separated from the father when I found out but I’ve kept looking, I know he’s out there, he’s a stubborn man but god is he strong and pretty smart too”
“Yeah I know the type, got a man like that back in our group, we lost a little girl and he’s been looking for her day and night”
“Maggie should be back soon she must have found your group by now, it’ll be okay” almost as if she heard me I see her horse ride up the field with cars following, then I hear the rumble of a motorcycle and it brought back so many memories I had with Daryl, when he’d work on his bike I’d sit with him, when we’d go for a drive at night together, moments I kept dear to my heart, zoned out in nostalgic thought I didn’t notice the group coming to the steps
“Y/n?” The grumble to the voice that I fell in love with, I look up to see him standing there just as the day I last saw him still as handsome, I couldn’t stand up fast enough before I was pulled off the stairs and into his arms
“I can’t believe it’s you, I looked everywhere, I missed you so much Daryl” I cried into his shoulder as his group was most likely watching this moment unwind
“It’s me sunshine, I found ya” he pulled back and we just looked into each others eyes for some time before he looked me over stopping abruptly on my belly
He opened his mouth but he seemed to be at a lose for words
“It’s yours if that’s what you’re wondering?”
“My baby?” He asked placing his hands on either side of my bump
“Yeah our lil baby Dixon”
Tumblr media
After everything settled down and people set up tents I decided to stay with Daryl since they were using my room for Carl, I was sitting across from him on my sleeping bag and he couldn’t take his eyes off my bump
“Do you want to feel?” He thought for a moment before he nodded, I lifted my ivory dress just above my belly feeling his warm hands caress my bare skin
“How did this happen?”
“Well remember that night you came back from the bar with Merle and I was wearing my pink sundress you love” realization dawned as a blush crossed his face
“Yeah that’s how it happened” I laugh missing how easily it is to embarrass him
“Where have you been?” I asked as we laid next to each other
“Found a camp outside of Atlanta with Merle, idiot went and got himself stuck on a roof don’t know where he is now, then we went to the CDC and that was a bust then that leads to now finally some sanity with ya”
“I’m just glad you didn’t get bite, the farms been secure so I haven’t had any troubles”
“And ya never have to with me ‘round”
Tumblr media
It’s been 6 months and Daryl and I had a beautiful 1 month old baby girl, it was painful giving birth but with Daryl by my side it made it a bit easier, hopeful
She was a wonderful little thing, barely fussy, brown hair light blue eyes just like Daryl, and he was over the moon about her he praised me over and over for giving him such a gift he treasured
We were able to move into the house to make it more comfortable for the three of us, we named her Lily because Carl thought it suited her perfectly so we just went with it
I walked into the room seeing Daryl sat on the bed with her in his arms her little hands reaching to pull on his now grown out hair, I sat beside them curling up to Daryl’s side
“She loves you so much D”
“Not as much as I love her”
“You know I think she’s your favourite”
“Nah she loves us both sunshine, I love ya”
“I love you too Daryl, forever”

Family Man Farmer Logan (2)
dad!logan x fem!reader
YIPPIE part two!!!! thank you and credit to @mega-kittyglitter-1 for the idea of bringing wade in :)
i've also just decided to name the kid because i don't like referring to her as 'your daughter' so yeah
divider credit to @cafekitsune
part one
warnings: wade breaks the fourth wall
Tumblr media
Logan held your daughter, Jean, as the two walked towards the stables. She messed with his beard hairs while they did so, to which Logan ignored.
"You remember the rules when we feed the horses?" He asked, his gruff voice holding softness to it as he brought her to the small stable he'd built along with several other buildings on the farm.
"Listen to what Daddy says." Jean repeated a bit vaguely, and he chuckled.
"Yes, listen to what I say. You gotta be easy with 'em. I know you're so excited to see 'em but loud noises can scare 'em." He explained, grabbing a bag of apples he kept around. The horses had grass and hay and the such inside the stable, but Jean liked feeding them applies, so he'd indulge her.
"But they're so much bigger than me!!!" She exclaimed incredulously.
"I know, but you're much louder than 'em sometimes." He chuckled, heading to one of the pens where a chestnut colored horse with flowers in her mane (courtesy of you and Jean), who was named Indy. She was the nicer one compared to her brother, Bishop. He was a bit challenging, more likely to fight with Logan. He was usually a good boy, though. Logan was a fierce man, able to establish boundaries and get some mutual respect going on between the two.
One time, Bishop had tried to nip at Jean when she was a baby. You'd never seen Logan so angry with an animal. He of course understood that the horse had been offended and maybe a bit frightened by Jean patting his nose with no warning, but the thought of anything or anyone hurting his girl was enough to make him fume.
Logan held Jean up, as she was nowhere near tall enough to reach the horses on her own. "You know what to do." He said softly, not too worried about Indy hurting Jean, but he was always careful when it came to his babygirl.
Jean carefully and slowly reached out with a big smile on her face, holding the apple in the palm of her hand. Indy made a happy snort and ate the apple whole, cronching on it loudly. Jean giggled infectiously, looking at Logan as she reached out to pet the horse.
"You're good, babygirl." He assured her, glad that Jean was so obedient when it came to this stuff. She was stubborn like her parents but neither of you played around when it came to her safety.
Jean gently began to stroke Indy's snout, a big grin on her face while she did so. Logan held her there for a while, until Jean pulled on his flannel to lead her over to Bishop. Luckily, she didn't have any bad memories of the horse trying to bite her, so she wasn't too afraid.
"Same thing, babygirl. Nice and easy." Logan hummed, giving her an apple to offer to the bigger horse. With no fear, she held out the apple to the horse, smiling innocently. Bishop hesitated, but did lean forward and take the apple from her hand. Logan nodded, pleased. "There we are, was that fun?" He asked Jean, who nodded happily as she carefully pet Bishop as well.
"Daddy, can we go pick flowers for Mommy?" She asked.
"That sounds like a great idea, baby." He chuckled, letting her say goodbye to Indy and Bishop before taking her out to the field of flowers that you mainly took care of. Logan was the handy man, dealing with the animals and any heavy lifting. He set her down, and she immediately went running to get the perfect amount of flowers.
God was he glad his daughter got to grow up in a space like this. If she was a mutant, it hadn't developed yet. If she was, he'd be even more grateful. She wouldn't have to worry about anybody trying to hurt her. You and him had the tools to homeschool her if necessary, and she had a big wide open space for growing and developing and learning.
His little daydream was interrupted by the crackling sound of a vehicle on the dirt road coming to the farm. His eyebrows furrowed, and groaned when he spotted the man inside the car. He forgot that Wade Wilson was dropping off a couple things per your request. You and Wade got along way better than Logan did with him. Wade always offered to babysit but Logan didn't trust him alone with Jean for even a minute.
Jean looked up and her brows furrowed just like his when she saw the car park and a strange man get out of the car. She dropped the flowers and booked it to Logan's legs, hugging them and watching.
Wade chuckled. "There's the wolfie! Look at you, a farm boy!" He cheered, a box underneath his arm. "The wifey wanted some rare flower seeds that little ol' me got for her! Oh! I'm getting your wife flowers!!!! You need to step it up, peanut!" He rambled, heading over.
Logan felt Jean's grip on his denim jeans tighten, and oh god her face. It was an exact copy of his scowl. He huffed, gently putting his hand on the back of Jean's head to comfort her. "I built this whole place for her. Now shut the f- shut up." He corrected himself. You didn't like it when he swore in front of Jean.
"Speaking of peanuts! It's your spawn!" He did crouch down, hoping that Jean wouldn't be too scared of his face. "I'm Wade Wilson, has your mommy told you about me? Daddy probably hasn't, he isn't as nice as your mommy."
Actual crickets around the grass punctuated Jean's silence.
"Oof, tough crowd. Daddy's girl, huh?" He said with a chuckle, a bit unnerved at how goddamn similar she was to him. He'd seen that scowl on a much older face plenty of times.
"Go on inside, she's in there." Logan said, not appreciating the fact that Jean was just as snarky towards this guy. Little kids did have good instincts, not to mention she was his daughter.
Wade held up his hands in surrender. "Alright alright, I'll let you have some more daddy-daughter time. The author needs it for his daddy issues." He said, heading inside to greet you.
"Who was that man?" Jean asked, the scowl still on her face.
"A friend of mommy's, like he said." Logan sighed as she let go of him.
"He's annoying." She huffed, going and collecting the flowers she had put down. Logan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She sure was his daughter.
"He sure is. Let's go bring these to Mommy."

hii can i request march, balor and celine help taking care of the farm bcs their s/o broke their leg and can't do their job
yurrr
March:
Tumblr media
You tell him what needs to be done, he'll do it, no questions
...he thinks. He thinks he won't have questions
Breaking up rocks that just appeared out of nowhere? Fine. Cutting down trees? He can get used to it. Trying to figure out how much water the plants need? He'll walk back into your house, his head hanging low, asking you how much water they need.
Once you tell him he has to actually show the animals some love, he grumbles a bit
He gets SUPER attached to your animals. He'll never admit it though
Within 2 weeks, he's memorized their names and can identify them really easily
Even after you've healed, you might see him playing with the chickens and petting the cows
If you do, act like you didn't. He'll turn bright red
If you have some empty space on your farm, he'll sometimes come up with some suggestions of what can be built/done with it. Of course you don't HAVE to listen to him, but he'd be pretty happy if you did
He'll never mess with anything you don't ask him to, he doesn't want unnecessary conflict. It's your farm, not his, and he just wants to help
Any leftover materials that you don't need, he'll take. Maybe Olric or Ryis might make use of them
And at the end of each day, he'll come in and help you with anything else you couldn't do on your own in the house, while telling you what he was able to get done during the day (he doesn't want to leave you stressed at night)
Balor:
Tumblr media
He kinda grimaced at the thought of doing farmwork but he got over it
I mean, you're dating a farmer, you got what was coming for ya
You'll have to show him how to swing an axe/pickaxe
Please scare him into thinking he'll have to go into the mines for stuff, his reaction would be so funny
He really has fun watering the plants in the morning, literally the one moment he's at peace
The animals...he doesn't enjoy being around them at first, but it's just another thing he gets used to
Seeing your chickens play on the seesaw almost made him forget that he has work to do tbh
He'll genuinely be so proud of himself if he reaches the goals that you set for him that day
Even if he doesn't (wouldn't be that rare, he's not used to this) he'll still feel really accomplished when he takes the shipping bin that's full of things that HE put in
You'd see his mood change from cautious and slightly discouraged to determined. It's cute.
Still, he prefers to be the one JUST taking the shipping bin...get well soon
Celine:
Tumblr media
She doesn't want you to worry, but you do end up worrying because you'll think she's overworking herself
She'll wake up before dawn to start watering the plants and clearing weeds from the fields
If you peek out and check on her, she'll look really calm, no matter what she's doing
I feel like she's also a lot stronger than she looks, so there really isn't a need to worry about her
If she finds anything worth showing you, she'll bring it in and ask you what you want her to do with it
She has to fight back the urge to play with the baby cows and chickens all day
Please let her play with them all day
She'll also come in and spend time with you whenever she needs to take a break
She also won't complain...we love Celine guys‼️

✿ ༉‧₊ — 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. ellie williams
very random things i associate with ellie/think ellie would love in a non-apocalyptic world (hc’s). [ contains: femme reader mentioned, nsfw, sfw, mentions of drugs. ]
Tumblr media
MUSEUMS AND AQUARIUM DATES — nerd alert! we all know ellie loves space and dinosaurs and things like that. her heart feels so full when you’re gripping her hand tightly as you both take your time strolling to each exhibition and display. she’s too engrossed in the small info boards to notice your eyes glimmering and softening as you take in the smile she fails to hide as she gets excited. even at 19 years old, as you spend your one year anniversary at the history museum, she still wows in awe as you walk into the room that contains the massive brachiosaurus skeleton.
JAW KISSES — ellie’s great at hiding how she feels most of the time. apart from when you kiss her jaw. the moment she feels your lips press to the soft skin that clings to the sharp bone of her jaw, she melts. her hands sneak around your waist as you nestle into her neck and pepper kisses all over her jaw, burning deep crimson on her freckled cheeks. “mm baby” she’ll mumble if you nip the skin lightly, causing her to let out the sweetest, soft little breaths.
HOUSE PLANTS — they’re an absolute nightmare for her to take care of at first but after a while, she grows emotionally attached to them. she specifically loves monsteras and ferns, even going as far to name them. she has a small smile on her lips as she reaches the part of her morning routine where she provides them with their extra delicate care. you can’t help but giggle from the kitchen as you hear her mumble “good morning fernado, you’re extra bright this morning” to her favorite fern.
RECORD STORES — she loves bobbing her head to the music and weirdly enough, the smell. it’s nostalgic somehow.
STICKERS AND CUSTOMIZATION DOODLES — pretty self explanatory. ellie loves to cover her shit in random stickers and doodles. her laptop, her water bottle, her sketchbook, her guitar. she has the same design as her tattoo painted on her guitar (it took her forever to do and she did it instead of completing an overdue assignment).
SHOWER SEX — it started with the soft, butterfly kisses you’d splurge across ellie’s freckled shoulder blades before you grabbed the soap to scrub her back. eventually she began to press you against the wall, kissing you deeply as the warm water hits you, hands exploring your bare, wet body. (100% is obsessed with soapy boobies too)
POST SWIM NAPS — summer on the farm means sweltering heat. nearly everyday you and ellie trek across the fields and spend all day swimming in the creek by the woods. sun kissed and hot, the both of you collapse in bed in nothing but a tshirt and your underwear, cuddled and falling into a slumber until later that evening when it’s cooler.
GRAPHIC TEES — it’s a strange obsession and she’ll hardly know what’s on the shirt but she accumulates a massive collection.
ESSENTIAL OILS — she thought they were tacky and useless at first until she got a diffuser as a birthday gift and was knocked straight into such a peaceful slumber by her soothing lavender oil.
FOLLOWING YOU INTO FITTING ROOMS — again, self-explanatory. we all know she’s awkward and very much the loser-lesbian girlfriend. so the first time you take her shopping with you, she moves to sit on the provided seats outside the fitting rooms. she’s just as confused as you are as you stand with the door half open and your collection of clothes in your arm. you tilt your head “are you not coming in?”. she fumbles to get up and rushes in. at first she was awkward, head down at the very second you’d take your tshirt off and mentally cursing herself as she peaks at you in the mirror from the corner of her eye. now, your full-fledged girlfriend, she’s got her hands grabbing at every sliver of bare skin she can see before you annoyedly swat her hands away.
LATE NIGHT SESH — it’s usually when she’s feeling anxious, escaping to the roof to smoke a little and talk to the stars. most of the time she goes alone but sometimes you go with her. you usually sit in comfortable silence, pressed against eachother as she smokes and you try your best to keep your eyes awake at 3am because even though she assures “go back to bed, sweetheart. i’ll be okay,” you don’t want her to be alone.

actress
tags: biker!Simon “Ghost” Riley x actresses!Afab Reader, Fluff, Established relationship, reader is a famous actress. Mentions of sex and sexual acts but no action is taken. Minors should still take extreme caution reading!
word count: 1.5k
summary: Reader is on set of her newest movie and Simon comes to visit!
a/n: First story I’m posting! I’m a little nervous for what everyone will think but I hope you enjoy it!
ps. biker!Simon is my current hyper fixation so bare with me if there’s like a million more biker au stories :}.
edit: adding this in but my requests are open!
༺𖤓༻༺𖤓༻༺𖤓༻༺𖤓༻༺𖤓༻ ༺𖤓༻
It was a warm Tuesday inside studio lot B. A beautiful facade of a two story house stands in a field of white daisies. You almost couldn’t believe your eyes when you walked onto the set. It looked so real! An exact replica of the real house you’ll be shooting on in a week.
The role you are playing is that of a farm wife with her three children, except your husband is having an affair with the barns keeper and your sleeping with the maid. Neither of you know you’re both cheating of course but the children do. The entire plot of the movie is the children trying to get the parents to find out about the double affairs. It’s a LGBTQ+ romance set in the early 1950s. It’s filled with steamy sex scenes and overly dramatic fights.
It’s the exact kind of movie you love doing. Sappy period pieces. In fact the movie that put you in the spotlight was almost exactly like this except it was the 1860s and you where a young unmarried queen with a “live in maid”.
Your boyfriend of 5 years Simon, or as his biker group likes to call him “Ghost” for the skull bandanna he likes to wear around his face, dropped you off on set on his newly refurbished 1980s Harley Davidson. You swore sometimes you thought he was more in love with that bike than he was with you.
“Make some money baby.” Simon told you after a steamy kiss early this morning.
Simons always been supportive of your career. The two of you met on the set of a Tv show when he was hired as a last minute extra for for some bike scene you can barely remember. For Simon it was love at first sight, but for you it was ‘I’ll wait and see where this goes’. Spoiler: You fell in love and are engaged, set to be married later this year.
“Where is my Anna Marie?” You hear your director yell out as you sit in your makeup chair getting touches done to your character’s signature red lip.
“Over here Clark! I needed my lips retouched. I think Amy got a little excited!” Clark Russel. You’ve worked with him a few times now and he’s always been a joy and a pleasure to work with, not something you find comes easy in this industry.
“Your needed on set in five. We’ve got to have this last shot of you and Blanche in the kitchen. We’ve got one week of shooting left here in the studio before we all go out on location.” Clark quickly spills out with you barely catching any of it.
Blanche is played by your costar Amy Heart. A talented actress 3 young years older than you. You’ve done several movies with her by now. You consider her one to your best friends and even plan to ask her to be a bridesmaid.
“James, Finn and Blanche are all on set. We just need you.” Clark makes direct eye contact with you as your makeup artist finishes the last touches on your makeup. He always insisted on calling people by their character names and you never questioned it.
James is played by Arther Godwin. The man that’s supposed to be your characters husband. You’ve never met him before this project but a quick IMDB search led you down a rabbit hole of bad low budget horror movies that you and Simon later binged watched. Finn is played by Roderick Grant, a fresh face. This would be his breakout role after a stream of hit indie movies.
“All done.” Your makeup artist releases you and you stand up from your seat grabbing the jacket that goes with your costume. You throw the jacket on around your shoulders and loop your arm in Clarks.
“Let’s get this show on the road!” You say in an over dramatic southern accent to which your director roles his eyes at.
༺𖤓༻
After 3 more hours of grueling take after take of Clark just having to get the tear sliding down your cheek just right, to which you where ready to rip his head off. Your just about to pass out on your trailer couch in nothing but a robe and very thin 1950s appropriate lingerie, when you hear 3 gentle knocks on your door. You get up with a puff of air leaving your lips putting your hands in your hair.
“Who is it!” You yell not really wanting to get up to answer the door.
“Open the door and find out!” You hear that oh so familiar thick Manchester voice behind the thinness of your trailers door.
In no time you’re rushing to the door and pulling your bulky fiancé in to your trailer and lacing your red lips with his. Simon closes the door through your sloppily sweet kisses. He smells of expensive leather and gas but you still drink all of him in.
“You miss me tha’ much?” Simons thick accent lets out through a smirk.
“Always.” You smile up at the tall man resting your chin on his chest.
“How was today? Make anyone else cry today?” Simon jokes but you take serious offense.
“That was one time and I didn’t even mean to yell at the poor guy.” You slap his shoulder as you both take a seat next in the oh so comfy couch in your trailer.
“I was only joking love.” Simon laughs and places a gentle kiss to your temple. He has one hand around your shoulder and the other rubbing up and down your thigh softly. You with one of your hands on his much bigger thigh and the other holding the hand that’s around your shoulder.
“Long day. Completely closed set. Only Clark and the main cast where set to shoot today.” Closed sets are usually indicators that you where filming your sex scenes today. You had one with your on screen husband and one with Amy. You almost never liked doing sex scene with men. It was never because Simon didn’t want you to or that you ever hated your male costar. You had this respect for Simon and you felt like the sex scenes could get too real sometimes. Personally, you never wanted for Simon to watch a scene of you sharing a bed(or even sometimes a kitchen counter) with another man. But every time you would ask Simon he would always just say some form of ‘This is all make believe. It isn’t real. I know you love me and some fake sex scene isn’t going to change that.” You still sometimes denied it though.
“When are you off?” Simon ask softly moving his hand further up your thigh.
You knew the game he was playing, he always did this when visiting. He always got you worked up and sweating before you had to go back and shoot a scene.
“30 minutes my love. We have to finalize a few things for today, but nice try honey.” You push Simons hand down slightly and look up towards him. Of course he has the cheekiest smirk on his face.
“I miss you at home.” Simon says kissing down your neck this time and creeping his hand back up your thigh.
“Simon.” You whisper scold him as he makes his way onto your shoulder planting sweet kisses.
“I miss the way you smell…” He grabs your hips and lays your back flat against the couch hovering over you as he plants kisses down over your collar bone. You inhale sharply when he moves his hand under the thin bra provided by the costume department.
“I miss the way you feel…” He moved his other hand to finish untying to robe from around your waist. He slowing starts kissing his way down your stomach stopping at the hem of the very 1950s lingerie.
“And I certainly miss the way you taste.” Simon has a giant smile planted on his face when he plants open mouth kisses down your thigh.
And just when he’s about to touch your center 3 harsh knocks are placed on your door.
“Miss, Mr. Russel said he needs you.” The voice calls out not even waiting for you to respond.
Simon lets out a laugh and you sit up and push him lightly.
“That’s not funny!” You whisper yell at him only to make him laugh even more. You stand up and tie your robe back around your waist and walk to the trailer door.
“It’s a little funny.” Simon says watching you with a panicked look on your face.
“I’ll be back in 20 minutes. I love you.” You place a gentle kiss on Simons lips and him returning the kiss.
“I love you too.” He says back placing one final kiss to your forehead.
Before you leave however you whisper into his ear “I think you owe the costume designer.” and bite the end of his ear playfully.
Simon watches you with his his cheek drawn inside his mouth as you grab the door handle of your trailer and leave him alone with his nothing but his thoughts for the next 20 minutes.
༺𖤓༻༺𖤓༻༺𖤓༻༺𖤓༻༺𖤓༻ ༺𖤓༻
final thoughts: i definitely got carried away while writing. I tend to do that. I get caught up on details that most likely don’t even matter all that much. I feel like somethings definitely could have been left out and more things added in but in the end it’s just a story and if you don’t like the first few sentences, just skip the story and move on.
@gauloiseblue for you friend <3

In The Cold, Cold Night: Chapter One
Tumblr media
pairing: cowboy/frontier!joel miller x oc (Dorothea) / unrequited tommy miller
rating: M (talks of death, bordellos, gender constructs, other wild west things, tommy is a cocky flirt)
wc: 7.2k
series masterlist | playlist
It was a hot and dry spring in Texas, the corn fields out in front of the Mackey family farmhouse dying underneath the brutal and unforgiving sun. John Mackey, the patriarch of his small, humble family, tried his best to conceal his worry over the season’s meager harvest, but his wife, Jessa, and his eldest child, Dorothea, or Dottie as her family called her, had a unique ability to see right through his hardened exterior to the vulnerable, frightened man inside.
Although she was a grown woman, her twenty-fourth birthday passing just seven months prior, Dorothea chose not to venture out from her parent’s watch like all the other girls in their small town had done years before. She liked the predictability of home—the sound of her father’s work boots hitting the hardwood after a long day in the field, the smell of her mother’s cooking, the loud chatter of her five younger brothers as they ran around the house and farm like they were wild animals. Though a part of her did crave more, it was a small enough part that she could ignore, fixing her brown eyes instead on taking care of the things she already had.
“Daddy!” James, the youngest of the clan at only six years, came hurtling into the kitchen as his father sat at the dinner table sipping on a fresh cup of black coffee, Jessa Mackey and Dorothea standing at the sink scrubbing this morning’s dishes. “Look what the lady at the store gave me and Ed.”
“Let me see what’cha got,” the gruff man said, lowering his cup and newspaper to the tabletop as he fixed his attention on his son.
James wore a wide, boyish grin as he reached into the front pocket of his dirty, denim overalls and pulled out a burlap sack, his tiny fingers pulling the drawing string loose so that he could dump out the contents on top of his father’s morning news.
“Well, what’s all this, now?” John said, catching a few of the tiny glass spheres as they began to roll off the uneven table.
“Marbles,” he said, full of wonder and excitement. “She even taught me how to play with ‘em.”
“Can you teach me?” he asked, setting the handful of marbles into the little boy’s hand.
“I forgot,” he smiled bashfully. “But Eddie—“
“I didn’t ask Eddie, now did I?” John smiled back. “Come on, figure it out. You learned once, you can remember.”
“Oh, will you leave him be,” Jessa scolded lightly, chuckling at her husband’s insistence as she walked over, drying her hands on a cloth before throwing it over her shoulder. “Where’s your brother?”
“Outside playin’ with Sarah,” James said, looking up at his mother with round eyes as she carded her fingers through his dust-covered brown hair.
“Who’s Sarah?” Dorothea asked as she dried her hands off on her apron, her brows stitching together.
“She’s new ‘round here,” her youngest brother replied. “She ain’t got any friends—“
“Doesn’t have,” John corrected, lifting his newspaper back up.
“How old is she?” Jessa asked.
“My age,” the boy said, a big toothy smile on his face. “May I go play with ‘em, mama?”
“Yeah, go on,” Jessa smiled and watched as her son ran out of the room with his bag of marbles in hand, the wicker screen door slamming against the wooden frame of the old home as he bolted through it. “I gotta talk to Maggie about givin’ him new toys every time I send ‘em over.”
“She likes it,” Dorothea interjected. “Can’t have babies of her own, it only makes sense she spoils everyone else’s.”
“Don’t matter,” Jessa took a seat at the table to rest her aching feet. “We don’t need another tab.”
John’s eyes lifted to meet his wife as if he were daring her to continue.
“If that girl’s new, maybe I should bake a pie and take it over to her mama and daddy,” Dorothea suggested, sensing the building tension. “We got some blueberries that’ll turn any day now.”
“Sure, honey, go on,” John said, looking back to his paper.
“Don’t use more than y’have to, Dot,” Jessa ordered. “I need flour to make biscuits for supper.”
“I’ll only use what I need, ma,” Dorothea promised with a saintly smile, flashing her emerald green eyes at her mother before heading into the pantry to start out on her baking.
Tumblr media
“Daddy!” Sarah’s squeal could be heard from a mile away, causing her father, Joel, to turn his head in the direction of the dirt road, spotting his daughter riding on the handlebars of of a brand new, candy red-painted bicycle, his younger brother pedaling towards the opened gate of their farm. “Look what Uncle Tommy got!”
Joel shook his head at the needless expense as he watched them ride up to where he stood near the porch, his white cotton shirt soaked down his spine from spending the better half of the afternoon fixing the old wooden steps.
“You ain’t got nothin’ better to spend your money on?” Joel asked as they came to a skid in front of him, Sarah hopping off the handlebars and skipping up to her father’s side to hug his hip, his hand smoothing her wild curls out of her face. “Where you been all day, missy? Out causin’ trouble?”
“I made friends with some boys down the road,” she replied, looking up at her father as he quirked an eyebrow.
“Boys, huh?” he asked, his tone playful. “You ain’t old enough to be hangin’ around any boys.”
“But daddy, they’re sweet,” she insisted, rounding her hazel eyes at him and poking out her bottom lip for good measure. Joel smiled and nodded, rubbing his hand across her shoulders.
“I’m just kiddin’, baby girl,” he assured. “What did y’all get up to?”
“We played cowboys on their farm,” she beamed. “I got to be the sheriff.”
“You know me and your daddy used to be cowboys?” Tommy said, leaning against the post of the porch.
“Well, I would’a caught you,” she said, tilting her chin up in confidence.
“Alright, sheriff, why don’t you go inside and wash off all this dirt before supper?” Joel ordered, patting her back as she begrudgingly obeyed her. “Cheer up, I’m makin’ your favorite.”
“Chicken soup?” she squealed again.
“You got it,” he nodded before waving at her to head into the house like he’d asked.
“If you’re gonna yell, yell,” Tommy sighed, taking a seat on the second step.
“I ain’t gonna yell,” Joel sat down with him. “But you can’t be goin’ around town showin’ off and spendin’ like that. We don’t need people pryin’ into our business and gettin’ the wrong idea.”
“It ain’t a crime to be a bounty hunter,” Tommy argued.
“Not when you’re workin’ for the law, but you and I both know we were about as far from the law as we could get,” Joel said. “Just don’t want people treatin’ Sarah bad because of what we did to make ends meet. That’s why we had to leave the last place, remember?”
“Yeah, I know,” Tommy nodded. “I just saw it and thought it would make droppin’ Sarah off at the schoolhouse easier on me, s’all.”
“Well, I ain’t gonna make you take it back,” Joel said, offering a soft smile, bumping his brother’s shoulder with his own. “Just…talk to me before you go out and buy somethin’ that pretty next time, alright? I might want one for myself.”
“Well, speaking’ of pretty,” Tommy nudged his chin forward in the direction of the gate, Joel’s eyes following his eyeline until he saw what he was so fixed on. Tan, freckled skin, a head of chocolate brown waves thrown up messily, a pair of bright green eyes and an equally bright smile heading up the dirt path to the porch.
“She here for you?” Joel whispered to his brother.
“I certainly hope so,” Tommy replied with a smile.
“Hi, y’all, sorry to interrupt,” the unfamiliar face greeted them as she reached the bottom of the steps, both men staring at her with a mixture of confusion and awe. “I’m Dorothea. My little brothers were playin’ with your sister earlier, and I thought I’d bring a pie over to welcome y’all to the town.”
“Sister?” Tommy asked, fixing a charming smile onto his face. “No sister here, but we’ll be glad to take that pie off your hands.”
“Oh,” she furrowed her brows in confusion. “I’m sorry, I guess I must’a—“
“You talkin’ about Sarah?” Joel spoke up, drawing her eyes to meet his.
“Yeah, I think that’s what her name was.”
“That’s my daughter,” he smiled.
“Oh!” Her eyes widened in shock. “I’m sorry, I thought—you look young, so I just thought—“
“No need to apologize,” he assured, standing up and unintentionally towering over her as he walked down the steps. “I had her young; I’m used to it by now.”
Dorothea smiled softly and nodded, her eyes lowering to the pie in her hands rather than at his dark, round eyes.
“Well, this is for y’all, then,” she said, holding the pie out for him to take.
“Thank you,” he accepted it and lifted the cloth covering the top, bringing the pie close to his nose. “Smells great.”
“It’s a family recipe,” she said. “I can give it to your wife if she’s around?”
“Oh—no,” Joel tensed, his smile faltering. “She, uh, she passed givin’ birth to Sarah.”
“Oh,” Dorothea’s eyes turned soft and sympathetic. “I’m so sorry.”
“It’s alright,” he assured, flickering his eyes over to his brother who remained watching their new friend with eager eyes. “We’re about to have supper, you could join us? Let us repay you for the pie?”
“Oh, I wish I could, but my mama’s makin’ biscuits and gravy tonight and she’d throw a fit if I stayed out past dark,” Dorothea said, offering him an apologetic smile.
“Well, you’re always welcome,” Joel shrugged. “Your brothers, too. I’m sure Sarah would love it if her new friends stopped by.”
“I’ll let ‘em know,” she smiled. “Well, I should be goin’.”
“You need a ride?” Tommy asked, standing up.
“Oh, no,” she giggled. “I like the walk, gives me a little time away from all the noise.”
“Alright,” Tommy smiled. “You said your name was Dorothy?”
“Dorothea,” Joel corrected.
“That’s right,” she chuckled. “And y’all are?”
“I’m Tommy, he’s Joel,” Tommy said.
“Well, Tommy, Joel,” she smiled as she turned her eyes from Tommy to meet Joel’s again. “It was nice meetin’ y’all. Enjoy that pie.”
“I’m sure we will,” Joel smiled. “Get home safe, now.”
“Everybody knows not to mess with me,” she smirked as she began backing her way towards the gate.
“That so?” he smirked.
“Yep,” she giggled. “Bye now!”
“Bye,” Tommy called, waving at her as she turned around and started down the road in the direction she came. “What a looker.”
“She wasn’t lookin’ at you,” Joel teased.
“What, you think she was lookin’ at you?”
“No,” he replied defensively as he started up the steps. to head into the house, Tommy trailing closely behind.
“You got a crush, old man?”
“Twenty-eight ain’t old,” Joel argued, setting the pie down on the dinner table.
“Older than me,” Tommy quipped. “Older than her.”
“Alright, well since you’re so young and spry, why don’t you go out back and fetch us some milk for supper, charmer?” Joel teased, grabbing the cloth from the pie and swatting it at his younger brother.
Tumblr media
It was Sunday afternoon, Joel and Tommy finished with the week’s chores and labor, Sarah skipping down the road with them as they made their way to town to look around at the shops and stands.
Joel, as always, kept his pistol tucked into the holster on his belt, his eyes scanning his surroundings for any potential trouble while desperately hoping none found him.
Joel had lived a lot of life in his twenty-eight years. He started out as a ranch hand to his father, Tommy just old enough to form a sentence while his older brother was expected to go out and tend to the horse, sheep, and cows at five in the morning. School wasn’t a priority to his parents, but learning to take care of the ranch was, to them, as essential to living as breathing.
Joel was fifteen when his father passed from typhoid fever, his mother following shortly after getting caught in the middle of a shoot out in town, leaving him to not only take care of the ranch, but his eleven year old brother as well.
Two years later, Joel and Tommy got swept up in the bounty hunting lifestyle after seeing how much the sheriff was offering for an outlaw on a wanted poster. They bid their ranch goodbye, packed up what little they had, and rode off into the desert to start anew, not knowing a single thing about what was to come.
Though their endeavors started out lawful, a then-seventeen year old Tommy quickly grew bored of their meager earnings and convinced Joel to abandon the lawful bounty hunting in favor of working with outlaws, the two of them hunting out sheriffs and their own people instead.
This was how Joel met Sarah’s mother at the young age of twenty-one. She was ten years older than him, working in a bordello Tommy insisted on staying at for the night during one of their hunts. Joel was hesitant at first, but quickly found his footing once he spotted her across the room. She had dark skin, rich, brown eyes, and a figure like he’d never seen before. He was already hooked then, but once their visits grew more frequent, he realized it was more than just a drunken lust he felt for the woman. He loved her. And when she fell pregnant with his child, Joel took her down to the town church and married her before riding off again to go on his next hunt. He only saw her two more times before Sarah came, and then she was gone.
Joel tried to go back to his old life, but found it difficult to do what he needed to do with a baby in tow. The boys settled down in Utah for a while, but Tommy’s antics at the local saloon had them packing up and heading west to California. Tommy had some luck there panning for gold, but just as quickly as the last time, he got into a brawl and the three of them were forced back on the road. It went like this for a while, up until just a few months ago when they were talked out of moving out of their old family ranch by a wealthy man looking to buy it for a handsome sum, the money too appealing for Joel to decline.
That’s how they ended up here in the Middle of Nowhere, Texas.
Joel liked it here. It was quiet, there wasn’t any trouble, and everyone seemed to have an understanding that this place was for families, somewhere safe to keep your children in the midst of all this shooting and debauchery. Joel wanted to stay here, but there was a nagging voice every time he looked over at his reckless younger brother that told him it was only a matter of time before they’d have to pack it all up again and run off. He hoped this time, Tommy would learn his lesson.
“Daddy, can I go look at the flowers?” Sarah chimed as they reached the booming Main Street, her little finger pointing at a flower cart.
“Yeah, but don’t go runnin’ off too far,” he said, keeping a watchful eye on her as she skipped towards the daisies.
“I’m gonna go see about that wheelbarrow,” Tommy said, nudging his head in the direction of an old man’s roadside stand of junk.
“Anything that keeps you outta the saloon,” Joel said, his eyes still locked on his daughter as she chatted the ear off of the older woman selling flowers.
“Robert, you better stay out of there!”
Joel’s attention was turned in the direction of a faintly familiar voice calling down the street. There he spotted Dorothea, surrounded by five boys ranging from Sarah’s age to somewhere around her own. The eldest looking boy, Robert he assumed, waved her off as he continued ahead of them into the saloon and bordello, leaving her fuming as she tried to corral the three youngest to follow her while the second oldest followed in his brother’s footsteps.
“Dottie, look! It’s Sarah!” the youngest squealed, his finger pointing down the road at Sarah who was getting a flower pinned in her curls. “Can I go say hi?”
“Yeah, just stay where I can see ya,” she said, watching as all three boys ran off in Sarah’s direction.
Joel cleared his throat as he felt obligated to go over and say hello, but Dorothea spotted him first and gave him a polite nod from down the road before turning to head into the general store. A strange pang of disappointment hit him in the chest at her lack of interaction, but he quickly reminded himself that he didn’t want the responsibility of a friend. He had enough on his plate with his ranch, his daughter, and his brother.
“Daddy,” Sarah came strolling back over hand in hand with Dorothea’s youngest brother, both of them smiling cheekily. “This is my boyfriend, James.”
“Boyfriend, huh?” Joel gave the boy a playful once over and shook his head in feigned disapproval. “How about a boy friend?”
“Daddy,” she pouted and fixed a stern look on her face that looked every bit her mother.
“Alright, James, but I expect you to respect my daughter,” he said, playfully wagging his finger in the little boy’s face and poking his nose, earning a giggle.
“Yes, sir,” James smiled. “I think Sarah’s the love of my life.”
“Love of your life?” Joel asked, resting a hand on his hip. “You ain’t lived much life, son.”
“Six years of it,” he countered.
“Six years a long time to you?” Joel continued with a smile.
“Yeah. It’s my entire life,” the boy quipped, pulling a laugh out of Joel.
“I guess you’re right,” Joel chuckled. “Long as you treat her right, we ain’t gonna have a problem.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Those your brothers?” Joel nudged his chin in the direction of the two slightly older boys, one of them chasing the other with a flower he’d plucked from the lady’s cart.
“Yes, sir,” James nodded. “Ed and Bo.”
“And the other two?”
“Robert and Paul,” James said. “But they’re mean.”
“Yeah? They mean to you?” James nodded. Joel smiled and squatted down to be eye level with him. “Let me ask ya somethin’. One day, you’re gonna be big enough to be mean right back to ‘em,” James nodded. “That somethin’ you’re looking forward to?”
“No,” James shook his head.
“No? Why not?”
“I don’t like bein’ mean,” James said, shrugging his shoulders.
“Good answer,” Joel smiled. “I don’t want my daughter with somebody mean.”
“Boys! Come help me with these groceries!” Dorothea called from the shop, her eyes flickering to Joel as he stood up and turned to look at her. “They ain’t botherin’ y’all, are they?”
“No, ma’am,” he said, tipping the brim of his cowboy hat at her.
“Lord almighty, she’s a fine lookin’ woman,” Tommy appeared next to Joel, earning a stern glare from his older brother.
“She’s off limits,” James said, his own face scrunching up. “My daddy said so.”
“Well, your daddy hasn’t met me yet,” Tommy smiled. “She got a boyfriend?”
“No,” James replied defensively. “And she don’t want one neither.”
“What about a friend?” Tommy persisted.
“I’m her friend,” he said, crossing his little arms over his chest.
“Did you get the wheelbarrow?” Joel asked, desperate to stop his brother’s back and forth.
“Yep,” Tommy nodded.
“Good, now go on and use it. We need fire wood,” Joel said, tipping his chin towards the hardware store. Tommy sighed and did as his brother commanded while Joel urged both Sarah and James off towards the general store to pick up their weekly groceries.
“Daddy, can we get some blueberries to make another pie?” Sarah asked, pointing ahead at a pint of blueberries sitting on the table in the middle of the store along with the rest of this week’s harvest.
“I didn’t make the pie, baby,” he said. “Don’t know what else we’ll need.”
“Y’all talkin’ about my pie?” Dorothea asked, offering a smile to Sarah as she walked over holding a basket of fruit in her hand while her younger brothers carried the rest of the haul.
“You made it?” Sarah asked with delight.
“Yes, ma’am, I did,” Dorothea nodded. “You want the recipe?”
“Yes, ma’am,” Sarah smiled. “I’ll make my daddy teach me.”
“Is your daddy good at bakin’?” Dorothea chuckled, glancing over at Joel who watched her carefully.
“No,” Sarah frowned.
“No, he doesn’t look the part,” she smirked at him, watching as a subtle blush grew on his cheeks. “Well, maybe I could come and teach you since your daddy ain’t so good.”
“Daddy, can she?” Sarah asked, tugging on her fathers arm.
Joel looked down at his wide eyed daughter and felt affection bloom in his chest for her, immediately caving in to her request. “Sure, baby girl.”
“Alright, you want me to show you what you need?” Dorothea spoke to Joel, bringing his eyes back to hers.
“Yes, ma’am,” Joel nodded, gesturing at her to lead the way.
“Gonna need flour, y’all got that at home?” Joel nodded. “Butter?” Another nod. “How ‘bout milk?”
“We got our own cows,” he said.
“Looks like y’all ain’t gonna need much, then,” she smiled. “All’s left is some blueberries, a lemon, some sugar, and…I think that’s it.”
“You think?” Joel teased, quirking an eyebrow at her.
“I know,” she corrected herself with a smirk. “I’ll come by tomorrow afternoon, if that’s alright by y’all.”
“Sounds alright with me,” Joel smiled. “I’ll make sure Tommy ain’t around to bother ya.”
“Oh, you ain’t gotta worry about him. I think he’s kinda sweet…in his own special way,” she shrugged. Joel lifted his eyebrows in surprise at the jealousy that sparked inside him at the thought of Tommy and her together.
As if on cue, Tommy walked in, his eyes scanning the room until he spotted the three of them.
“Well if it ain’t Miss Dorothy,” he grinned.
“Dorothea,” James corrected from the counter as he scooped up the final sack of groceries.
“My apologies,” Tommy smirked. “Guess I’ll have to spend more time around ya. Get the name to stick.”
“Alright,” Joel rolled his eyes and patted Sarah on the shoulder, guiding her towards the counter to pay for their hail. “We’ll see ya tomorrow, then, Dorothea. Bring that James with ya if ya want. Word is him and Sarah are in love. I’d hate to come between that.”
Dorothea giggled and nodded. “That’d be a crime, now, wouldn’t it?”
“You’re comin’ by tomorrow?” Tommy asked, leaning against the counter.
“Yes, sir,” Dorothea nodded. “Showin’ your niece how to make my famous blueberry pie.”
“Got room for one more student?” he asked. “I’ve been meanin’ to learn how t’ bake.”
“Oh, have you now?” she giggled. “I suppose you can join us, long as you pay attention.”
“I’m gonna be payin’ attention, alright,” he smiled. “Have a good day, now, Dorothy.”
“Dorothe—“ She stopped herself from correcting him again once she realized he was now doing it on purpose, her head shaking as she smiled at him. “How ‘bout you just call me “Miss” from now on? Can’t get that wrong, can ya?”
“Ain’t no fun in that,” he smiled. “I’ll get it one ‘a these days.”
“I’m sure you will,” she rolled her eyes before looking to Joel. “See ya, Joel.”
Joel tipped his hat at her and watched her walk off back down the long road headed towards her ranch, her horde of brothers following closely behind.
“You gotta mess with her?” Joel asked Tommy as he pulled out a few notes and handed it to the clerk.
“Least she’s a nice woman,” Tommy reasoned. “Could be goin’ after one of my women at the bordello like you—“
“Watch it,” Joel warned seriously, no trace of amusement in his eyes as they flickered to an oblivious Sarah. “That mouth’s gonna get you in trouble, Tommy. One ‘a these days someone’s gonna come along and do somethin’ about it.”
“They already tried,” Tommy chuckled. “I’ll take my chances.”
Joel only shook his head as he led the three of them out of the store, Tommy’s hands busied by the wheelbarrow hauling lumber while Joel carried their bag of groceries and Sarah worked on the lollipop the cashier handed over to her.
Tumblr media
“Dot, come down and help your mama with hangin’ clothes!” Dorothea’s mother, Jessa, called up the staircase of their quaint farmhouse, interrupting her journaling.
“Yes, mama!” she called back, closing her books before making her way downstairs to tug her boots on before entering the mid-morning heat. She joined her mother out in front of the lawn as she sat scrubbing the dirty laundry on her washing board, a few sheets already hung up on the line.
“Thank you, baby,” she said, wiping her brow. “It’s hot out today.”
“It’s been hot out every day,” Dorothea commented. “How’re the crops lookin’?”
“Your daddy don’t bother tellin’ me anymore,” she said. “Half of me wonders if we wouldn’t be better off packin’ up and movin’ west. I hear there’s still plenty gold.”
“Who ya gonna get to mine for it? Daddy’s back can’t take it, and your two eldest don’t seem to care ‘bout nothin’ except goin’ to the saloon.”
“Don’t you wish we had that luxury?” Jessa said with a smirk. “I know I’d like to be able to run off whenever I want and drink the night away.”
“I don’t care much for the drinkin’, but I would like to know what it feels like to do whatever I want whenever I wanna do it,” Dorothea replied. “Instead we gotta ask permission anytime we wanna leave the house. Makes ya sad if you think about it too much.”
“I’ll tell you somethin’,” Jessa locked eyes with her daughter. “You ever feel like sneakin’ off for a night—maybe go see a pretty boy—you can count on me t’keep your secret. Long as ya tell me, I’ll watch out for ya.”
“You gonna lie to daddy for me?” Dorothea giggled.
“Lord knows I’ve done worse things.”
Dorothea quirked an eyebrow at her mother, smirking in interest.
Jessa ignored her daughter’s curiosity. “So this mean there’s a boy?”
“No,” Dorothea shook her head. “Not yet, at least.”
“Come on, now,” Jessa smiled.
“James’ new friend, Sarah, has an uncle,” she shrugged. “He seems interested.”
“But you ain’t?”
“I don’t know, mama,” she blushed. “He’s fine and all, but…he ain’t really what I’m lookin’ for.”
“Why’s that?”
“He talks too much,” Dorothea replied, earning a hearty laugh from her mother.
“You’re just like me, ain’t ya?”
“Sarah’s dad, however—“
“Dad? How old is he?” Jessa furrowed his brows.
“He doesn’t look much older than me,” she replied. “But he’s quieter. Doesn’t talk unless he has to. And he was sweet with James,” she said. “Thought it was cute.”
“But he ain’t interested in you like the brother is?” Jessa asked.
“I don’t think so,” she said, grabbing the last piece of wet clothing from her mother’s hands and wringing it out before hanging it on the line. “Either way, I don’t foresee any sneakin’ out in my future.”
“A little sneakin’ out would do you some good,” Jessa argued. “You’re too well behaved for your own good.”
“Someone’s gotta be,” she smiled and nudged her head in the direction of the house. “Alright, I gotta go change.”
“Where you off to?”
“Helpin’ Sarah make a pie,” she said.
“Mmhm,” Jessa smirked. “Well tell the uncle and the daddy I said hello.”
“Sure, mama,” she smiled back knowingly before skipping off to the house.
Tumblr media
“There she is,” Tommy chimed as Dorothea walked up the steps of the porch, a sweet tea in his hand as he leaned against the doorframe.
“Where’s my student?” Dorothea smirked, tilting her head at him.
“Right here,” he said, gesturing at himself. “Ready to learn.”
“I meant my promisin’ student,” she countered, bringing a grin to his face.
“She’s out back with her daddy,” he said, tipping his head back towards the house. “But we could get started without her.”
“I’m sure you’d like that,” she chuckled. “I’m gonna go find her.”
“I’ll be right here,” he drawled, watching her as she walked down the steps and rounded the corner of the house.
Out back, she was met with the sight of Sarah filling the pigs trough full of scraps while her father brushed the mane of a chestnut horse, his white shirt pulling taut across the breadth of his shoulders.
“Hey, y’all,” she announced herself, drawing both pairs of eyes to hers.
“Dorothea!” Sarah chimed, abandoning her work at the pig pen to come skipping over. “Time for pie?”
“Yes, ma’am,” she smiled, her eyes trailing from the little girl in front of her to her much larger father as he walked over, his blue jeans clinging to his legs as if they were painted on.
“Miss Dorothea,” he tipped his hat at her. “You come to take this trouble maker off my hands?”
“You causin’ trouble?” Dorothea asked, looking back to the six year old.
“Daddy’s lyin,” she grinned.
“So I got a troublemaker and a liar on my hands,” Dorothea smiled, looking back to Joel. “Ya gonna stay out here, or ya gonna join us inside?”
“Ain’t gonna be much help, I’m afraid,” he smiled.
“You can be our taste-tester,” she shrugged. “And maybe you can keep that brother of yours on a leash. He seems particularly determined today.”
“I apologize for his forwardness,” Joel spoke sincerely. “He thinks he’s smooth ‘cause every woman he’s ever talked to has been eager. He don’t realize it’s ‘cause he paid ‘em to be.”
Dorothea laughed, her brows lifting in shock at the racy nature of his joke.
“I’m sorry,” he said, realizing himself. “Forget I’m talkin’ to a lady.”
“Am I that homely?” she teased. “Maybe I’ll wear my best dress next time. Get Tommy to remember my name and you to remember you’re talkin’ to a woman.”
“Yeah, daddy,” Sarah scolded. “Where’s your manners?”
“I must’a lost ‘em,” he joked.
“Well, me and Dottie’ll help you find ‘em,” she sassed, grabbing Dorothea’s hand and dragging her along back to the house, Joel smiling to himself as he followed them.
“So, cows, a horse, pigs…looks like you’ve got yourself a ranch,” she said, looking behind her as Sarah continued tugging her along.
“Yep,” he agreed.
“You don’t talk much, do ya?”
“Try not to,” he said.
“Any reason?”
“Find people like me a little better when I keep my mouth shut,” he replied, earning another laugh.
“Someone must’a trained you right,” she joked. “Tommy on the other hand—“
“Y’all talkin’ ‘bout me?” Tommy spoke from the porch as the three of them ascended the steps. “Good things, I hope.”
“Hope is a dangerous thing,” Dorothea quipped, earning a chuckle from Joel, the sound drawing her eyes away from Tommy and over to him.
“I don’t get it,” Tommy said, smiling even though his brows were drawn together.
“Nevermind, let’s just get workin’,” Dorothea said, gesturing for him to lead the way.
“He ain’t too clever,” Joel leaned over Dorothea’s shoulder as they filtered inside, whispering to her, and she would’ve laughed if she hadn’t been so caught off guard by his proximity.
“You know anythin’ ‘bout makin’ a carrot cake? My mama used to make the best, and I haven’t found anythin’ quite as good since,” Tommy called from the kitchen as Dorothea remained frozen in the entryway, her eyes watching Joel as he squeezed past her to join his brother and daughter inside the small kitchen. “You hear me?”
“Yeah, sorry,” Dorothea cleared her head and composed herself as she walked in to join them. “Carrot cake, ya said? I don’t think I’ve ever made one.”
“Well, you had to have a flaw,” Tommy drawled.
“I’ve got a few,” she countered.
“Like what?”
“I’m very particular,” she replied.
“‘Bout what?”
“I like the quiet,” she said, smirking at him. “And I get real bossy.”
“I can shut up,” he said. “And I can follow orders.”
“Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,” Joel groaned, sitting down at their round dinner table.
“Alright, then, if you’re so good at shuttin’ up and followin’ orders, how ‘bout you go sit down and stay quiet while me and Sarah get to work.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Tommy grinned, walking over to the table by the window to sit with his brother while Dorothea and Sarah got to work. “She likes me.”
“She hates you,” Joel corrected.
“What d’you know about women, huh? When’s the last time you talked to somethin’ as pretty as that?”
“Just a few minutes ago in the yard,” he said, lifting an eyebrow to signal his victory.
“You think she likes talkin’ to you anymore than me?” Tommy asked with a smug smile. “I can’t imagine how crazy someone’d have to be to find you interestin’. All you do is take care ‘a the ranch and complain.”
“I didn’t say she liked talkin’ t’me,” Joel shrugged. “Just that we talked.”
“Yeah, well, leave the talkin’ to me,” Tommy said. “I’ll have me a wife come winter, you’ll see.”
“She ain’t gonna marry you,” Joel chuckled.
“Why not?”
“You ain’t committed to nothin’ but causin’ trouble,” he said. “No amount ‘a pretty’s gonna change ya that quick.”
Tumblr media
“Well,” Dorothea smiled across the table at Joel as he hauled a bite of her and Sarah’s creation into his mouth, Tommy long gone and out at the saloon while Sarah laid in the living room fast asleep from two thick slices of pie. “Any good?”
“Ya know it’s good,” he said, flickering his eyes at her before dropping them back to his plate.
“Is it always like pullin’ teeth with you?” Joel furrowed his brows as he looked at her again. “Givin’ a sincere compliment?”
“It was sincere,” he said.
“Guess I’m expectin’ somethin’ more like Tommy’s reaction.”
“What, fallin’ to my knees?” he joked, cracking a half smirk. “My knees are busted. I’ll have to praise you from my seat.”
“You and him are so different,” she commented, watching him as he ate. “He’s…wild. Too wild. Reminds me of my two brothers.”
“The ones who went into that…establishment?” he asked, wiping his mouth on a scrap of cloth he’d fashioned into a napkin.
“Yeah, them two,” she nodded. “You ever…been to one ‘em?”
Joel froze a bit, his hand pausing as he lifted a glass of milk to his mouth for a sip. “You askin’ me—“
“I just wanna know what they’re like,” she shrugged. “What they do.”
“You’re better off not knowin’.”
“Well, the men always seem to leave happy,” she said.
“They sure do,” he blushed and brought his cup the rest of the way to his lips, taking a swig before setting it down. “But I ain’t completely sure if that’s somethin’ you need’a know about.”
“Why is it that you boys get’a have all this fun and us girls are supposed to stay home and bake pies, sit and wonder what y’all are doin? What if I wanted to go into a bordello?”
“I ain’t sure it’s they’d know what t’do with ya,” he chuckled.
“Is it—are they…makin’ love?” she whispered the last line, causing Joel to choke on his bite, his fist pounding against his chest to clear it.
“I—“ He shook his head, lost for what to say. “I don’t know that I’d call it that.”
“But they are…sleepin’ together?”
“Yeah,” he nodded. “But they ain’t doin’ no sleepin’.”
“And that’s where Tommy ran off to?”
Joel hesitated for a moment but nodded.
“Well, then I know for certain I don’t want him,” she said, looking at her plate.
“You don’t like…those kinda men?” he asked, recalling his own past.
“I don’t like men who get around,” she clarified. “If a man wants me, I better be the only one. But so far, I haven’t met a man willin’ to hang up his hat.”
“They’ll grow outta it,” he said.
“Did you?” she asked, knocking his boot under the table with hers.
“I had my day,” he said, locking eyes with her. “Sarah’s mom—she, uh—I met her in one of those…places.”
“But you married her.”
“Yeah,” he nodded. “Never liked two-timin’.”
“Well, there’s still hope to be had, then,” she smiled. “Just hope I’m still young and pretty by the time these boys decide t’grow up.”
“How old are you?” he asked, leaning back in his chair.
“I’ll be twenty-five on Christmas,” she said.
“Christmas, huh?”
“Yeah, makes it easy on my mama and daddy,” she joked. “What about you?”
“Twenty-eight,” he replied. “Twenty-nine in September.”
“Birthday just passed, then,” she said. “I’ll have t’bake you a belated birthday cake.”
“You tryin’ to win me over with food?” he flirted, just to test the waters.
“I didn’t know I was tryin’ to win you over,” she smiled.
“I wouldn’t mind if you did.”
“Your brother would,” she countered.
“Yeah,” he shrugged.
Dorothea sat there watching him with a smile, searching his eyes for any sign of a cruel joke being played on her but found none. Even still, she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to do in this sort of situation. She’d been flirted with for half her life, but was never interested enough to flirt back. Until now.
“I guess I should be goin’ off,” she said, swallowing her feelings for the man in front of her out of sheer fear of falling flat on her face.
“You gonna get home alright?” he asked, standing up when she stood to carry her plate to the sink. “Could take the horse.”
“No, I’m alright,” she assured with a smile, turning around to find Joel right in front of her, his chin tipped downwards as she looked up into his molasses brown eyes. Though she remained breathless, she couldn’t help but let out an airy chuckle as she lifted her hand to press it against the firm wall of his chest. She didn’t push him away, she simply rested it over his heartbeat to feel for a similar rhythm to her own. “You’re awfully close.”
“Would’ya like me to step back?” he asked, his eyes darting across her features, admiring the curve of her button nose.
“No,” she replied, what was supposed to be playful turning into a whisper as she watched tongue peek out and swipe over his bottom lip. She couldn’t help herself but to want to trace the line, too, her hand raising to rest over his bearded jaw while her thumb ghosted across the bow of his lip. “Never kissed anybody before, y’ know that?”
“S’easier than you’d think,” he whispered back, leaning down to slowly fill the gap between their lips, Dorothea’s eyes fluttering shut as she splayed her hand over his cheek while the other lifted to bury her fingers in his curls.
Joel hummed into the kiss as his lips landed against the pillowy softness of her pout, his chest pressing to hers as he pressed her into the counter behind her, his hands gripping the edge of the rustic wood.
Dorothea’s brows laced together as she tried to keep her head above water in this sea of him. He tasted like the pie she spent all afternoon baking and a little bit of whiskey, the warmth of both heating her skin up as she melted into him.
“Daddy,” Sarah called from the other room, her tiny voice thick with sleep. Joel pulled back first, leaving Dorothea to chase his lips with her eyes still shut. He smiled at the sight and leaned forward to kiss her forehead, pulling her out of her haze.
“I gotta go take her t’bed,” he whispered, his voice raspy in her ear as his lips came to rest there. “Wait for me.”
Dorothea couldn’t speak, her olive colored cheeks turning a shade of red as she watched him walk back and out of the room, his voice soft as he spoke to his daughter, scooping her up in his arms and carrying her down the hall
She stood there resting against the counter, her hand resting on her heated cheeks, smiling at the wood beneath her feet.
Was this what it felt like to want somebody? Did it always feel this good? A blood rush to the head?
Joel found his way back into the living room a few minutes later, finding her in that same spot, still spinning over his touch.
“I…hope that was alright,” he said, seemingly catching her by surprise, her eyes jumping away from the floor to meet his. “I hope I didn’t…assume—“
“I think ya did, just a little bit, but that’s alright,” she smiled, walking over to meet him in the middle of the room, her hands sliding over his chest to loop around his neck. “You assumed right.”
“Tommy ain’t gonna like this,” Joel warned, resting his hands on the small of her back.
“He doesn’t got any claim over me,” she replied, her eyes flickering back to his mouth. “Y’know, your lips are softer than they look.”
“That supposed t’be a compliment?” he smiled and she nodded. “Well, thank ya, ma’am.”
“I like when you call me that,” she grinned. “When you use those southern manners.”
“Yeah?” he grinned back, leaning down to brush his lips over hers. “You like when I’m quiet and polite?”
She laughed softly and nodded, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. “Like that you know when to talk and when to shut up.”
“Then I’ll shut up now,” he said, smiling into the kiss as he squeezed her closer, his tongue swiping across her bottom lip before grazing the tip of her tongue. Dorothea moaned into the kiss, the sound causing Joel to short circuit and pull away, his forehead resting against hers. “You gotta go home.”
“Yeah,” she nodded, still breathless.
“Come see me tomorrow, if you got the time,” he said, pulling back to comb his hand through her brown waves as they hung loosely down her shoulder and back.
“I’ll see if I can sneak off,” she grinned, stepping back from his embrace to walk out the front door to his porch.
“I’ll see ya,” she said, biting her lip as she turned on her heel to walk down the steps of his porch.
“Bye, Dorothea,” he smiled to himself, tucking his hands in his pockets and leaning against the doorframe as he watched her frame get tinier and tinier as she walked down the long, dirt road until she disappeared out of view, taking the sunshine with her.

Inside, outside
Pairing: 10k x reader
Warnings: Swearing, mentions of blood, vomit
Chapter: 5.07
The awkwardness while you, 10k, Warren, and Addy walk in almost complete silence is almost nauseating. You feel a migraine coming on from so many unspoken thoughts running through your mind. It was only the four of you now searching for the person behind the disgusting, foul, brainy biscuits.
10k keeps giving you knowing glances; he is wordlessly asking you to say something since the bad vibes are coming from you and Addy. You sigh, “Anyone else feel uneasy about not knowing where the hell Murphy is?”
“Yeah, I do,” 10k snorts. “It’s like the good old days. He disappears, then reappears to stab us in the back.”
“What’s the deal with you two?” Addy asks. “I know Murphy's an ass, but I’m surprised things are so bad.”
The bite still hurts.
If Addy had stuck around longer last time, she would have seen how badly 10k was affected by what Murphy put him through. But you bite your tongue and don’t say anything.
10k looks uncomfortable with you and Addy on either side of him. Addy didn’t exactly congratulate you when she found out about the baby; she seemed in shock and hasn’t mentioned it since. A few moments pass, then 10k suddenly laughs, “The first time we saw him in years, your sister punched him in the face within two seconds of talking to him.”
“He still doesn’t think he did anything wrong!” You point out.
“Biting people, manipulating them… trying to take over the world—just a normal day in the life of Alvin Murphy,” Addy says jokingly.
When the step road you’re walking down reaches the edge of a town called Heartland Warren stops walking. “These fields need to be harvested; they’re going to seed.”
“A friend of mine helped me move a few talkers from here to limbo, but… I don’t know how many lives humans are left to work the fields.”
At some point you’d need to find out how your sister met all these people and lost her eye.
“Well, it seems like the perfect time to find out.”
Heartland was like every other town you ever came across, abandoned. “What’s the plan, Warren?”
“We make contact with the locals and see what we find out about what’s in these bizkits.”
“And then what? What’s our end game here?”
“Help George with this idea of hers. A new country.”
“I don’t think we’re the nation-building types. You know? More like the tear-shit-up types.”
While Addy and Warren talk, 10k looks over at you and mouths, ‘I told you so.’ He was convinced Warren had romantic feelings for George, which you failed to see. But you also thought Red had a crush on 10k… he was probably right.
“Bodies up ahead. At least two of them,” 10k says before running over to a body lying in the middle of the road. “It looks like he was given mercy.”
The four of you split up to search on either side of the road to look for more bodies. Both humans and talkers had been shot in the heads execution style. According to Addy, they were all farm workers, which meant someone had targeted them deliberately to stop more biscuits from being made.
“Do you guys hear that?” 10k asks.
You shake your head.
“Something's not right.” He walks over to you and stands in front of you protectively. “I can definitely hear something.”
A few seconds pass before all of you can hear the faint whispers of talkers asking to be fed. It made you nervous that you could hear them despite no talkers being viable. You whisper, “Anyone else getting the feeling they are trapped in a horror film?”
You were half expecting a talker to pop up from the ground, grab hold of your leg, and try to pull you back down the hole with them.
Warren gets your attention and points towards a car park full of old, run-down cars. With each step you took, the voices got louder, and the feeling of being watched caused goosebumps to spread across your arms.
You see… something or someone pops up from behind the back of a truck. “10k, heads up.”
He turns and aims his gun in their direction, but before he pulls the trigger, Addy stops him. “Wait, that’s a talker.”
“He looks pretty bad.”
“She’s right; if he’s stalking, he might know something,” Warren adds. She puts her gun away. “Follow my lead.”
You hated it when she said that; usually it meant something bad was about to happen. Gulping down, you follow suit and hold your hands up to show you weren’t holding onto any weapons. More talkers come out of hiding and surround you.
“We come in peace!” Warren calls out. “We hear that you’re hungry! But we don’t have any bizkits.”
“But we can help,” you say, hoping they don’t try and eat you instead.
The talkers easily outnumbered the four of you, and soon the four of you were standing back to back, with the undead walking around you in circles, like a shark swimming around its prey before attacking. Skittish, 10k asks, “What happens when talkers stop talking?”
The talkers start to snarl the same way Z’s do, and when they get closer, a female talker reaches its hand out towards your stomach, but you lightly slap their hand back. Cautiously you pull the blade from your belt and grip hold of it tightly. Your voice shakes, “Back it up, back it up.”
“Don’t hurt them!”
Addy’s comment riles you up. You didn’t want to hurt any of them, but you couldn’t take it on good faith that they wouldn’t attack first. She should know by now you’d only use a weapon in self-defense.
“As long as nobody tries to touch my stomach again, I won’t!”
“Ok, look. There’s a farmhouse in the distance,” Warren says. “Let’s make this non-lethal. On three. One, two…”
“Someone’s coming!”
A car speeds forward and stops close enough that all the dry dirt on the ground is blown into the air when the car comes to an abrupt halt. To your relief, it was a familiar face.
“Doc!”
He waves at you from behind the wheel. George leaps out from the passenger side. “Get in!”
Since the car only has five seats, you get in last and sit on 10k’s lap with your legs outstretched across George and Addy’s. “Good timing, guys,” you pant. “That was too fucking close.”
10k leans his forehead against your shoulder, and the flat of his palm rests over your stomach. Quietly he asks, “Where are we going to next?”
“There’s a farm not far up ahead,” Addy says and points in the direction Doc needs to drive.
“Good, 'cause that’s about all the gas we got left.”
The rest of the drive is in silence, but you feel George’s eyes on you, or more specifically on the way 10k keeps caressing your nonexistent bump. She had probably guessed what was going on but was being too polite to ask.
George catches you staring at her staring at you and smiles. “So you guys are married; that’s pretty cool. Doc said you guys meet on the road?”
“No, not really,” 10k mumbles, his forehead still pressed against your shoulder. He had fallen asleep during the short distance and sounded as if he hadn’t fully woken up yet. “We got married under a black rainbow.”
“A black rainbow?” Addy asks, her voice full of skepticism.
“Doc, Warren? Black rainbow?”
“Ohh yeah,” Doc says fondly. “I married the kids after Warren, the aircraft Warren was on, exploded with her in it. Murphy got sunburnt, and we thought the dead was gonna eat us. All in all, not a bad day.”
You chuckle while twisting the silver band on your finger; Addy looks extremely confused to the point it’s verging on frustration. George chuckles, “That information did nothing but give me more questions. When this is all over, we’ll need to have a drink one night so you can tell me how you all met.”
10k tilts his head to the side to face George and points between you and Addy, “Their sisters, like, share a mom and dad.”
“We should definitely have a very large and strong drink,” you say, ignoring how shocked George looks and how drunk 10k sounds. “But in at least six or seven months time.”
The more you think about it, the harder it becomes to remember your last period, so it was really just a guessing game to figure out how many months it would be until a drop of alcohol touched your lips again, not that drinking was something you did often; however, not being able to drink made you want it more.
Addy taps on the window and points towards a farmhouse, “just up ahead.”
When Doc drives up to the house, you gently nudge 10k and feel how warm he is. “Are you feeling okay?”
“Yeah, just tired.”
When everyone is out of the car, Addy leads the way into the house, trying to be as discreet as possible. Once inside, 10k puts an ugly floral chair in front of the door.
You go over to the window with Warren, and she opens the curtains enough that you can see. “There are talkers in the field; they look hungry.”
“What are they eating then?”
“I know, I know.”
You both jump when a strange-looking man appears in front of you. He takes his hat off, showing everyone that part of his brain is missing. The smell and sight of the inside of your head are too much for you; turning to the side, you vomit all over the floor.
You sit on the opposite side of the living room while Charlie, who’s feeding his own brain to the talkers, speaks with the rest of the group. Just the thought alone was enough to make you want to hurl again.
“You feeling any better?” George asks, rubbing at your back.
“Yeah, thanks, just the smell is pretty strong in here.” Seeing the sadness in her eyes, you sigh, “I’m really sorry about Dante.”
“I just can’t help but feel like it’s my fault.”
“That’s not true.”
“It is thought he put his trust in me and what I believe in, and that’s what got him killed.”
“What?” Addy suddenly appears on the opposite side of the couch. “You got Dante killed?”
“Easy, Addy, we don’t know what happened.”
George becomes so emotional that she can’t explain what happened, so Doc steps in and answers for her. “Vigilantes got him. Killed the captain and his guard too. Probably the same bastards that killed the others.”
Warren goes over and hugs George while she sobs. “They chopped him up into pieces and put him in a trash can. I had to mercy him. Who would do something like that?”
“Humans,” Addy hisses.
You feel sorry for your sister finding out her friend had died in such an awful way, but this couldn’t be the only thing bothering her. She was on edge more than normal.
“Maybe not, maybe talkers,” Doc says quietly. “They left a sign saying this is what happens to traitors.”
“NewAmerica would be a much better place if you just got rid of all the people.”
“Enough,” you snap. “The world has been full of sick fucks who kill each other for years. This isn’t George’s fault.”
Addy shakes her head and goes to storm off. “I’m going to check the rest of the house.”
“So what was that about?” 10k asks as soon as you step into the kitchen.
“George was crying, and Addy was just making her feel worse.”
10k pulls a face; whatever he was thinking, he most definitely wasn’t sharing it. You get a whiff of something that is off and scrunch your nose up while glancing around the room; you didn’t want to be rude, but you smelled the same thing earlier in the car.
“How’s your wound?”
“It’s… healing.”
“Let me see.”
Reluctantly, 10k starts to remove the bandages covering his stump. You felt bad knowing how much he hated looking at it, but it had been days since it was cleaned properly. His stump is covered in dried blood, and what you suspect is a sticky substance caused by an infection.
“Oh Jesus, kid, that looks bad,” Doc says when he walks over to join you.
You turn on the kitchen tap, but nothing but dirty water comes out. “Oh boy, we really need to find something to clean that with. We need to find a first aid kit and antibiotics.”
Doc says something to himself, then disappears.
You start searching the kitchen drawers and cupboards for anything useful that could help, but unfortunately you find nothing.
“I’ve got it, I’ve got it.” Doc runs back into the room. “Hold his arm over the sink.”
You do as he says and hold 10k’s arm over the sink while Doc pours a clear liquid out of a jar and over the stop, causing 10k to wiggle in pain. His face turns bright red as he tries to not make too much noise.
“What is that? Water?”
“Hooch.”
10k grabs the jar and drinks the remaining hooch in one large gulp. His eyes gloss over. “I feel great.”
He definitely didn’t look it. Suddenly he lunges forward and starts to vomit; at least he made it to the sink, unlike you.
Hearing the commotion, Warren comes over. “Everything okay?”
“Just a little alcohol poisoning,” Doc says casually.
You press your hand to his forehead as he starts to sway on his feet. “Tommy's starting to burn up. Quick, help me get him into a chair.”
It takes the three of you to get 10k into a chair without him falling. George puts a bin in front of him just as he starts to vomit again. “We really need to get fresh—“
“I need help!” Addy bursts through the door while helping a man you’ve never seen before walk. “This is my friend Finn; he’s been shot.”
“I’m fine, really.”
Doc gives you a light tap on the back. “Guess we are back in business, partner.”
“Thank you,” Addy says. “I mean it; Finn means a lot to me.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Since Doc was buzzed from drinking hooch straight and kept getting distracted easily, you managed to stitch the wound on Finn’s side up. Thankfully they did have a first aid kit. Afterwards Finn explained someone shot him and then stole all the ingredients they had for making bizkits.
“Sis, I—“
“Why are you being so hostile towards George?”
Before Addy can answer your question, 10k and Doc step out of the farmhouse dressed as cowboys. You start to laugh; they had only been left alone for ten minutes, and how someone managed to ransack the wardrobes.
“Everybody,” Warren clicks her fingers and whispers. “Look alive, we’ve got company.”
Charlie comes out of the house and stands on the porch and starts to ring a bell to distract the talkers closing in on you. Addy grabs your hand. “Get in the car with me and don’t come out until it’s all clear.”
You sit in the front seat while Addy and Finn sit in the back. After a few moments of silence, Finn leans forward to shake your hand. “I’m really glad to meet you.”
“We’ve met… inside, I stitched you up.”
“Oh yeah, I know,” he laughs goofily. “Addy talks about you all the time, and it’s nice to finally put a face to the girl I’ve heard so much about.”
You smile politely, “It’s nice to meet you too, Finn.”
You sit in the car while Finn and Addy start tying up talkers to feed them Charlie’s brain and start to worry when you lose sight of 10k and Doc.
The car door opens, and Addy bites at her lip; she was thinking hard about what to say next. “I don’t agree with the things George has done. It’s done nothing but get people, including Dante, killed.”
You knew how George felt; you blamed yourself for years after what happened with Cassandra. “She already feels guilty enough without you adding to it. Regardless of NewAmerica some asshole would still be trying to stop bizkits from being made and killing talkers.”
“Why do you keep defending her?”
Addy steps aside so you can get out of the car. “Because we’ve all done shit we aren’t proud of, including hurting someone we care about.”
You notice Warren talking with George and Finn by the farmhouse. When you start to walk towards them, Addy clears her throat. “I think you’re being reckless.”
“What?”
“Bringing a baby into this world…”
You spin on your heels so fast it makes you feel dizzy. “Don’t go there, Addy—actually, you know what? Do go there. Tell me your expert opinion on being a parent when you’ve never been one yourself.”
Hearing your voice getting louder, everyone turns to stare, even some of the talkers.
“I think you and 10k will be great parents, but it is careless. War is on the horizon; people are being picked off one by one, and truthfully I think it’s a massive mistake to have…” She trails off, realizing what she’s just said.
Tears of anger start to form. “Fuck you.”
You bury your face into the side of 10k’s neck as Finn mercy kills Charlie, who had fed most of his brain to the talkers to keep them from turning into Z’s. His sacrifice was incredibly brave; you just hoped it wasn’t in vain.
“Addy looks pretty upset.”
He was right; she was crazy, but in that moment you didn’t care. What she said about the baby really hurt. Addy had been absent for so long that she didn’t have a right to comment on it. When you lived in isolation, 10k spent nearly a year trying to get you pregnant and was gutted each time it didn’t work. Things may be bad now, but they weren’t then, and you weren’t going to let her sour something so positive for the both of you.
10k brushes stray hair out of your face, “You look lost in thought. What are you thinking about?”
“Do you think Red was able to hear us doing it when we lived in the tree?”
“I still feel as if my hand hurts even though it’s not there.”
You, Doc, and 10k walk behind Addy, Warren, and George. The six of you were walking through grassy fields to reach the water dam to find out why the water supplies had been stopped.
“Oh, there’s a name for that. Phantom limb syndrome. It’s when the brain still thinks the hand is there, so it keeps sending these pain signals. But eventually it works itself out.”
“I don’t think my brain is ever going to get used to this.” 10k sways on his feet again.
“Oh my god.”
“I’m fine.”
“No, you’re not; you’re burning up again.”
Doc catches him before he falls. “The kid needs antibiotics. Was there any back at the farmhouse?”
“No, I think we used the last of it up a while ago.”
“What about holistic medicine? You know stuff about that, right, Doc?”
In unison, Doc and 10k say, “We were nowhere near the Grand Canyon.”
Suddenly there’s a loud noise coming from the direction of the farmhouse. “A distress signal; it’s Finn!”
Addy starts running back towards the farm with George right behind her. Warren calls out, “You two get 10k to cover; we’ll be right back.”
“We should get down.”
The three of you crouch down and slowly start to move off the main path and into the field. The grass was long enough that anybody walking by wouldn’t be able to see you. “Which way now?”
“Um,” Doc looks around for a moment. “This way.”
You follow him until you reach a small empty drainage pipe. The area has a lot of bricks and dried concrete scattered across it, so you assume it was a construction site at one point.
“I hope Finn is okay.”
You sit down next to 10k. He winces in pain when he pulls the cover off his wound again; his stump looks worse than before and is turning black.
“If the guys aren’t back soon, I think we should go to this water place without them. They will know to find us there.”
“Yeah, they will,” Doc says in agreement. “Plus we really need to get that stump cleaned with fresh water to get a good look at it.”
“It really hurts.”
It was unlike 10k to complain, so the fact that he was made you more worried than normal. You hand him a bottle of water. “You need to drink more.”
While he takes small sips of water, Doc groans out in pain and falls to his knees. It takes you a few seconds to register why he’s fallen and notice the arrow that’s landed in his shoulder.
“Oh shit.”

Pumpkin patch - R. Hintz
Tumblr media
Summary: Much to your surprise (but also not at all), Roope has strong opinions about choosing pumpkins.
The fifth of my Autumn & Halloween blurbs! Just imaging Roope trekking around a pumpkin patch was enough for me.
Word Count: 830 words
Tagging: @starshine-hockey-girl @lam-ila @kurlyteuvo @tonyspep @cixrosie
~
“We’re here!”
Pitchfork Pumpkin Patch, as recommended by several of the guys on Roope’s team. Very impulsively, your boyfriend had decided that his Saturday rest day would include the two of you getting up early to head over to pick pumpkins ahead of Halloween. It was all you could do to go along with his laser-focused enthusiasm, not questioning him when he was in this kind of mood, knowing through experience that Roope only acted like this when he was passionate about something.
What had triggered him to be so passionate about picking pumpkins was beyond you, but you were happy if he was happy. You were sure his motivations would become clear at some point at least.
“You’re chirpy this morning,” you mused.
Roope just rolled his eyes, although a smile was creeping at the corner of his lips. “I like Halloween. It’s fun.”
Well you couldn’t argue with that.
“We can get snacks and drinks here, right?”
“Yeah, I think they have stands. Pumpkins first though?”
You grinned at the hope in his voice. What was going on?
“Yeah baby, pumpkins first.”
The two of you walked across the parking lot to the entrance of the farm. You were just glad that being some of the first customers of the day meant it wasn’t heaving with people yet. You could only imagine how busy a place like this could get, especially so close to Halloween.
“Kulta.”
“Yes Roope?”
“My shoes are getting muddy,” he grumbled.
“It’s an outdoor pumpkin patch, Roope, what did you expect?” you teased.
“Not this level of ruin,” he muttered.
“We can come back another day y’know,” you mused.
But Roope just shook his head. “No let’s do this, all the good ones will be gone otherwise,” he sighed.
Trust your drama queen to have a plan worth ruining his boots for.
“If you’re sure,” you grinned.
Roope stuck his tongue out at you, clearly recognising the lingering teasing in your voice, making you laugh even as you linked your fingers with him, swinging your joined hands until a small smile graced his face.
You let Roope take the lead as he navigated the two of you through the field, smiling to yourself at his critical eye swept over the rows in front of you.
“How about these?” you said, pointing to a cluster of medium simple orange pumpkins.
“No. No this is a bad one. See? It’s already squishy on the side, it won’t take any time at all to go mouldy,” Roope said, shaking his head.
“Okay, wow Roope,” you laughed, hands raised in mock surrender.
But your boyfriend just nodded, hands almost artfully placed on his hips as he surveyed the patch in front of you.
“We need at least six pumpkins. All different sizes, although two will need to be similar sizes for each of us to carve. Preferably we can get a couple of white ones too for balance. But only if they’re smooth – I don’t want bumpy ugly ones. I’d be happier with ten pumpkins but I’ll take what we can get,” Roope said firmly.
Oh he was serious wasn’t he?
“Do you have some kind of artistic vision or something baby?” you teased.
You weren’t sure what was showing on your face, but Roope’s focused gaze softened when he turned to look at you properly.
“I’m sorry, I know I’m acting weird,” he said, a bit sheepish.
“Maybe, but I figure you have a reason?” you said, trying to prompt him.
Interestingly, he blushed a little, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Miro and Esa are both doing a pumpkin competition kind of thing. An arrangement on their front porches, I guess? Carved pumpkins but also an arty display? They said I could…we could do one as well, but I don’t want it to be dumb because I was added in last minute. I want it to be perfect,” Roope sighed.
Oh bless his heart. Leave it to the Finnish mafia to come up with something like this. And of course he was overthinking things – that was just who he was, your sweet sassy perfectionist.
“By the amount of effort you’ve already put in to thinking about this, it’s going to be amazing, baby,” you said reassuringly.
“I’m sorry, I know I can be a bit much,” he said, self-deprecating smile making your heart ache.
“Not in the slightest. This is important to you, so let’s make it fun, instead of stressful, okay? Whatever you want, we’ll get it and we’ll plan out a really artistic layout for our front porch.”
Roope looked a little stunned for a second, before he quickly pulled you into a tight hug. “I love you, so much.”
You couldn’t help but grin, pressing your face into his chest briefly before stepping back to look up at him.
“I love you too. Let’s do this, and kick Heiskanen and Lindell butt,” you said, smiling.
“That’s the spirit,” Roope said, smile turning sharp.

Time
Natasha Romanoff x Female Reader
When you visit the Bartons with your family, you and Natasha spend some quality time reconnecting
Warnings: Smut! 18+ please! Kissing, cursing, fingering (R receiving), oral (N and R receiving), being needy, some fluff too
Note: Enjoy this hehe
Natasha Masterlist 1, Natasha Masterlist 2, Natasha Masterlist 3, Main Masterlist
“Are we there yet?” Your youngest daughter asks from the backseat of the car.
You’ve been driving for hours to reach the Barton farm. Natasha wants to visit while the kids are on spring break.
“The answer is still no, sweetheart,” Natasha answers patiently.
“We’ll tell you when we get there, Taylor,” Ali, your oldest, jumps in. She’s annoyed by the constant question and her tone doesn’t hide that.
“Be nice,” you remind her.
“Yeah be nice, Al,” your oldest son says. The two oldest kids start arguing, but Nat stops it quickly.
“Hey, none of that,” she says, expertly parenting. “This is a family trip. We will be kind to each other and we will have fun. Understood?”
A few nods follow.
“Understood?” Nat repeats.
That gets her the answers she was waiting for. A chorus of yes ma’am’s resound from the backseat. You turn up the radio and try to make the last hour of the trip enjoyable.
When you pull in the driveway, you look back at Taylor.
“Ask the question again, baby,” you say.
“Are we there yet?”
“We are here,” you reply. “Come on let’s go have some fun.”
You all unload from the car. Nat refused to be a minivan family, so you settled for a three row suv. The Bartons come outside to help.
“Hi Nat,” Laura greets your wife. She hugs her tight. There’s only a handful of people in the world that Natasha trusts as much as she does Laura and Clint.
“And hi y/n,” she greets you as well.
You’re corralling the babies at the moment and can’t hug her, but the warm smile on her face feels like a hug.
“Go see Auntie Laura,” you say to Belle and Taylor, the two littlest girls.
The girls run to her and hug her tight. Ali is catching up with Lila while Ivan, Jack, and Cooper reconnect.
“Well, I guess it’s just us to unload,” Nat comments. She walks around to meet you at the back of the car.
“What’s new?” You joke.
“Hey, while we have a second alone,” Nat begins. She presses you against the back of the car, running her hands over your shoulders and arms down to your hands. “Thank you for coming. And I love you.”
“I love you too, Natasha,” you say, feeling your face flush from how close she is. You can smell her perfume and her fresh hair.
She’s so close to you that it hurts. You want to devour her.
“I’ll show you later just how much I love you, okay?” Her voice is low, sexy as it could be.
Nat leans in and steals a quick but deep kiss, leaving you wanting more.
You pout when she pulls away, but she just laughs. You’re too easy.
Later that day, Clint drives everyone out to the field where he’s got a new pig pin. The kids love chasing the pigs around and playing with them.
Natasha shares a look with you about an hour into the fun that tells you she wants to get back to the house and have her own type of fun with you.
“Clint, we’re going to head back,” she tells him.
“But Mama we’re having fun!” Belle says.
“They can stay out here with us. I know you two are exhausted from the drive in,” Laura says. She winks at you. Maybe you weren’t so slick earlier behind the car.
“Thanks Laur,” Natasha says. “Be good, babies.”
You both kiss each kid before you start walking back to the house with Natasha. You’re hand in hand as you walk through the field. You love seeing Nat like this. So free. So happy.
Your smile must reveal that to her. She stops and turns to you.
“What is it?” Nat asks.
“Hm?”
“You’re looking at me differently,” she replies.
“You’re so beautiful,” you say. “And you’re even more beautiful out here.”
Natasha kisses you softly. She is so in love.
“We better get back to the house before I take you right here in this field,” Nat says.
“What would be so wrong with that?” You say, surprised by your own boldness.
“Oh,” Nat remarks. “Did my wife, my sweet, sweet, innocent wife just say that she wants me to fuck her right here outside where anyone could see us?”
You know she can see the way she’s making you feel. An absolute puddle for her.
“Come on,” Nat says, grabbing your hand again and pulling towards the house again.
By the time you make it to the porch, you’re tripping over each other as you try to make out while walking.
“Upstairs now,” Nat says.
You move as fast you can into your bedroom, shutting the door behind you. Natasha pulls you to her and turns you to back you into the bed. You fall back a little harshly, but Natasha’s lips connecting with yours distracts you from the slight pain.
“Fuck,” you moan into her mouth.
Nat’s strong hands pull your shirt over your head. You barely have time to process it before you’re entirely naked underneath her.
“Are you going to be good for me?” Nat asks.
“Yes,” you say. She takes a nipple in her mouth while her fingers slip between your legs. “Fuck.”
“You’re so fucking hot,” Natasha says.
Her fingers enter you quickly. She swallows your moan with her kiss. You want her to be as undressed as you are. You reach for her shirt hem, but she pushes your hand away.
“Just you right now,” Natasha says. “Okay?”
“Okay,” you say.
Her fingers continue to pump in and out of you at a fast pace. You can feel yourself slipping into a blissful state.
“Natasha,” you mumble. It’s all you can say right now.
“I love you,” Natasha says. “Be a good girl and come for me.”
You let yourself come and come hard for your wife. It’s the best sex you’ve had in months, maybe years.
“That’s right, baby. You’re so good,” Nat says as she works you down. “So good for me.”
Natasha drops a kiss to your forehead and lies beside you. You come back to reality at the feeling of her hand circling yours.
“God, I have missed that,” you say.
Nat chuckles. She has too.
“Shower with me?” She asks.
“Gladly,” you agree.
Nat helps you out of bed and essentially carries you to the bathroom. You start the shower.
“May I?” You ask, gesturing to her clothes. You want to be the one to take them off.
“Please,” Nat says.
You lift her shirt over her head. It never ceases to amaze you how beautiful she is. You unclasp her bra and kiss her shoulder softly.
“Gorgeous,” you whisper, placing your head in the crook of her neck.
You move your hands down her abs and to her waist. Slipping your hands down the jeans she’s wearing, you find her dripping wet for you.
“Getting me off really turns you on, doesn’t it, sweetheart?” You ask her.
“Mhm,” she says. “But I’m in control here.”
Nat takes a step back and pulls her own pants down. She takes your hand and leads you into the shower.
“Why deny yourself, Nat? You know I’d kneel for you right here and now.” You ask her.
Natasha smirks. This was exactly her plan. To have you begging to make her feel good.
“Then kneel,” Natasha says after a long pause. She presses on your shoulders just enough to make you feel the pressure.
Grinning, you drop to your knees. You can’t even remember the last time you were in this position with her. God, you love farm Natasha.
“Right there, detka,” she says. “Yes.”
You hum in pleasure at the taste of her. You’re the luckiest person in the world to be here with her like this.
“Yes! Fuck, y/n, yes!” Natasha groans out. You can’t see her but you know she’s biting her lip. She’s close. It doesn’t take much longer for Natasha to be trembling at the feeling of your mouth all over her.
“I’m coming,” Nat says. “Fuck, fuck, fuck.”
You help her ride her high and lick her until she’s pushing you away. You stand back up and she kisses you immediately.
Her tongue mingles with yours. The taste of her orgasm on your tongue turns her on even more.
“How long do we have?” She asks you.
“Not long I’d bet,” you say. “It’s almost dinner time.”
“I’ll make it quick,” Nat says.
She pushes you to the edge of the shower and you sit down, spreading your legs for her.
“All for me,” Natasha says. “Look at this.”
“All for you, Nat. Only you,” you reply.
She buries her face between your legs. You can’t help but lift your hips up at the feeling. Natasha holds your hips and helps you move them. Soon enough, you’re riding her face.
“Natasha,” you say over and over like it’s a prayer. “Natasha!”
You hold her head with one hand and keep yourself steady with the other. She eats you out like it’s the only place in the world she wants to be.
You come hard against her tongue. Nat moans successfully and pulls away to let you come down.
She grins at your blissed out face. She loves making you feel so good.
“I love you,” she says softly. It’s a sharp contrast to what you were just doing. “I hope you know how much I love you.”
“I do, baby,” you say, caressing her cheek. “I love you exactly the same.”
You kiss each other gently. Nat helps you stand back up and you actually shower. The water isn’t hot anymore, so you hurry up.
Once you get out, you get dressed and go downstairs. The family is just getting back from being outside. Perfect timing.
“Enjoy your alone time?” Laura asks.
“We sure did,” Natasha replies. She wraps an arm around your waist. You share a soft smile.
For the rest of the trip, you and Natasha soak up every moment with each other and with your family. It’s absolutely an amazing week.

A black BMW pulled up on the gravel driveway. The cowboys on her father's farm all stopped and stared to see who it was. The shirtless cowboys came to the white fence leaning on it and watched a girl come out of the black BMW.
She wore light colors, she didn't look like she belonged on a farm. The owner of the farm came out of the barn and looked at the driveway.
"Boys, that is my daughter, Y/n," he says.
"Hi, dad!" She yells from the car, she shuts the car door with her hip and opened the trunk pulling out some bags.
"She's staying with us for the summer," he tells the cowboys.
"Dad! Is my room still free?" She asks.
"Yes!" He yells. She skips to the house opening the front door.
"She is college, sir?" One cowboy asked as they got back to work.
"Yep. GAZ! SADDLE UP!" He yells. Gaz was one of the best hard working cowboys on the farm and he was the most trusted as well.
"Mama, who is the guy riding with dad?" Y/n asked, looking out of the window in the kitchen, seeing her father and Gaz riding in the field.
"His name is Kyle Garrick, but your father calls him Gaz," she tells her daughter. "I was going to make some lemonade for them, you wanna help?"
"Yes ma'am," she says, helping her mother.
Gaz and Y/n's father were roping some new calves that were born, they were going to band them and tag them, and Y/n's father needed some help and Gaz knew what he was doing.
Gaz ropes one of the new born and taking it to the ground. Y/n's father got off his horse and started to band the baby boy calf, he grabs a tag labeled 14AB and tagging his right ear.
"Alright, next one Gaz," he says as Gaz removed the rope from the calf's legs and he took off to his mother.
-----------
After a while, Y/n and her mother walked out of the house, Y/n's mother called out for the guys to come get some lemonade.
The cowboys stopped what they were doing all rushed towards the two women. Y/n gave the cowboys a soft smile as they took a glass of lemonade.
The Gaz came up, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a white rag and took a glass glancing up at Y/n. She smiles at him and he smiles back.
"I'm Gaz," he says.
"Y/n," she smiles.
"Any left for me?" He father asked coming up to his wife holding her waist. Gaz and Y/n glance back each other and hid their red blushing faces.
----------
A Few Weeks Later
It's been a few weeks now, the cowboys always being over at the Y/l's. Y/n laid next to the pool in a pool deck chair, laying on her stomach, a floppy hat giving her shade to be able to read her book. She was in a light pink bikini, she was 'distracting' the cowboys from their work.
The black metal fence that separated the cows pastor and the pool deck, had cowboys staring at their bosses daughter.
"HEY BOYS!" The cowboys jumped at their boss's loud voice and Y/n turned seeing the shirtless cowboys getting back to work and Y/n giggled at them.
She can't help that she beautiful.
Gaz walks to the black fence, he leans on the fence and cleared his throat getting Y/n's attention from her book. She looks up and smiles seeing Gaz. She puts her bookmark in her book and walked up to Gaz.
"Shouldn't you be getting back to work?" She asked him.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
"I'm fine, Gaz," she places her hand on his buff chest, almost in a way for him to go back to work. "My dad will get mad, if he sees you slacking."
"I'm fine, I'm his best employee," he teases.
Y/n just shakes her head, she looks up at Gaz. "Around lunch, can we meet in the barn?"
"Sure," he smiles.
"Good, now back to work," she gently pushes him again. He chuckles and walks away.
----------
12:10PM
"LUNCH!!" Y/n's mom yells to everyone. The cowboys all sat at the large picnic table just under the patio. Gaz grabbed his plate since he was done and looked up seeing Y/n head into the barn.
He looks over his shoulder and saw that everyone was just talking, eating and laughing. He throws his plate away and discreetly heads to the barn.
"Y/n?" He calls out.
"Up here," he looks up seeing her up in the loft where they kept the hay. He climbs the ladder and sees her laying on the hay.
"What did you wanna talk about?" He asked.
"No talking," she stood up and started to push her straps of her sundress off her shoulders. She holds the top of her dress to her bare chest.
"W-What are you doing?" He asks.
"Come on Gaz, we've been teasing each other for weeks, I think you know," Gaz quickly looked behind him to make sure no was in here and started to unbuckle his pants kicking off his boots and crawling towards Y/n.
Holding her waist and leaning forward kissing her lips. Her hands still holding the top of her dress but her hands were being moved from her dress and letting it fall.
His hands then went up her waist to her boobs, groping her fatty breasts and pinching at her nipples. His lips then kissed her jawline and neck, he sucked on her neck leaving a purple hickey on her neck.
She tosses her head back and Gaz gently lays her on the hay. He then pulls her dress off her body putting it next to her. His calloused fingers then hooked around her panties pulling them off her lower half. He licks his lips and then starts moving down kissing her stomach and her inner thighs.
He licks his lips and then licks between her wet folds, her thighs wanted to clinch around his head but his hands were holding them in place. He then pulls her up, he was sitting up and she was getting a clear view of his tongue fucking her.
She moans seeing his tongue glide through her folds. She grips the hay then found his thick thighs gripping his jeans. He smirks and then continues to fuck her with his tongue but also managed to pull his jeans off.
He stops for a little bit to stand up kicking his jeans off, he pulls his boxers off and she gets a clear view of his thick dick. She smiles and leans back on her elbows as he comes down eating her out again.
"Ah! O-Oh my god!" She moans.
He grips at her thighs and she felt herself about to come, she lets out a soft moan and Gaz felt a sweet, salty thick liquid in his mouth. He moves his tongue and saw the thick liquid come from her clit and on his tongue. He smirks and wipes his mouth clean.
He starts pumping himself, and Y/n moved her fingers down to her clit pumping her fingers in and out of her. He watches her face seeing pleasure all over her face, he moves her fingers away and starts pumping his middle and ring finger inside of her.
She tosses her head back, arching her back and both of her hands gripping at his wrists.
"AH! Ah!" She moans. Gaz smirks and kisses her knees and then he looks down at his tip seeing pre-cum leak from his tip, he smirks and then replaces his fingers with his cock.
She moans putting her head back in the hay. Gripping the hay and hiding her face from him.
"Don't hide that pretty face from me," Gaz says, gripping her chin making her look at her and then bending down kissing her lips. His tongue pushed it's away passed her lips.
His thrusts were hard, his hands held her waist, making her arch her back and he starts to go a bit harder, her thighs over his, her hands resting on his lower stomach and she looks up at him.
He seemed like he was focusing on trying to make her come again. She places her hand on his cheek, he looks up at her, moving back to her lips kissing her.
"G-Go slow...please..." she says.
"Are you sure?"
"Y-Yes," she says, he starts going slow, she bring his head to her neck, he kissed her neck, holding her body close to his, her legs wrapped around his waist.
Grunting, skin slapping and moans filled the barn. There was only a few minutes before lunch was over and they made to move quickly, but Gaz was listening to Y/n, if she wanted to go slow, he'll go slow, if she wanted him to go fast, he'll go fast.
"HEY GAZ WHERE ARE YOU!?" They both jumped hearing Y/n's father call for him.
"Fuck," Gaz says. Gaz pulls out of Y/n, she covers her mouth to muffle her moans. Gaz quickly leans over the loft but made sure not to show his lower half.
"Hey sir!" He says.
"What are you doing up there?"
"I was going to feed the horses," Gaz lied.
"They have hay."
"A quick nap," he quickly says.
"Okay, well get down here, we have some goats that need to be banded."
"Alright," Gaz says. Y/n's father left the barn and he looks at Y/n who seemed upset and angry that they were interrupted. Gaz quickly pins Y/n back on her back. "We'll make it quick," he says, stuffing himself back into her.
She lets out a loud moan, she was bouncing quickly due to Gaz's rough thrusts, he needed to get going but he's not going to leave Y/n sexually frustrated.
He starts feeling himself close to coming, Y/n let's out a soft moan and Gaz quickly pulls out pumping himself and coming on Y/n's stomach. She looks down at his come on her stomach, she smiles.
"I have to get going," Gaz says quickly getting his boots and jeans back on.
Y/n looks at him, her legs wide open and come leaking from her, he needed to go but he wants to lick her clean.
"Y/n-"
"Go on," she says, shooing her hand at him. He smiles and grabs her hand kissing her knuckles.
"I'll see you around?"
"Uh-huh," she says, smiling and kissing his lips.
As Gaz was climbing down the wooden ladder, Y/n was getting her panties and sundress back on. She fixes herself up, and climbs down the ladder.
----------
It was dark now, Gaz was heading back to the house with Y/n father. Gaz rubbed the back of his neck as if it was hurting him, Gaz is a tough man, neck pain was the least of his problems.
"I know you had sex with my daughter," Gaz's eyes felt like they were going to pop out of his head.
"What? Sir-"
"Don't deny it, Gaz...I know..."
"Sir, I'm sorry-"
"Don't be...I saw how you two acted with each other and how you two always flirt with each other, just...don't hurt my daughter."
"I would never, sir."
"Good, also...you'll have to work a double tomorrow."
"Is that my punishment, sir?"
"It is, if I catch you two doing it in the barn again, you won't be leaving the farm."
"I'll be working all day and night?"
"Yep," he says popping the 'p'.
"That's fair, sir."
"He is hot."
"Mama~" Y/n groans.
"What? He is. So, where did you do it?"
Y/n was silent.
"No!"
"Mama, I didn't even says where."
"But I know. You did it in the barn!"
"Mama~" she groans again.
"You come home for the summer and you are having sex in your fathers barn with one of his employees," she shakes her head.
"So, you and dad did it in the goat barn."
"THAT'S DIFFERENT!" Y/n's mom says.
"No it's not."
"Go to your room."
"I'm 26...I'll go to my room because I want to," she says walking away.

worrisome - farmer! sevika
@pinknightsinmymind my love I cannot stop thinking about it. This is after Sevika becomes an official farmer and moves in with you, but before y’all are married.
farmer sevika x chubby / plus size reader (although it aint too too prominent)
It happens on a day that you’re off to market. you had less goods to sell, just a few jams and pastries, and – with Sevika having to tend to the crops – y’all decided you should go to market on your own. Well, less decided and more convinced and mollified Sevika before she could drive herself into an early grave worrying about you. 
She’d spent the whole day pulling taking care of the hens, feeding and entertaining the dogs, maintaining your sunflowers, and, of course, worrying over her girlfriend. So the second she hears the truck drive up to the farmhouse and the jingle of your keys as you step out, she’s sprinting from the field over to you, dogs in tow.
When she gets to the driveway, she slows down, trying to act all calm and composed as if you didn’t just see her book it. She walks up to the truck bed and leans her forearm against it, looking at you with a sparkle in her eyes.
“How was the market, darlin’?” She asks, watching you jump down from the truck and pull some empty containers and your tote bag from the backseat.
“Aw it was wonderful, sugar! I wish you could’ve gone, everyone was asking where you were, had to tell ‘em my big strong girl was taking care of the farm,” You tell her, handing her a bag of goods you no doubt traded for at the market. She could already see a few wrapped up pieces of cheese, some bread, and more jams sitting in your bags. The sound of your voice melts her anxiety away, doing a quick scan of your body to make sure you weren’t hurt or nothing. 
“Yeah? Mm, I’m sure they were all glad to see you, sweets,” She murmured, leaning in to kiss you before you shoved another bag into her arms. “Did our stand not sell today? What’s with all the bags?”
“Actually, we sold everything. All of this is from stuff I bought, traded for, or got gifted from people who thought you were out sick. Hope you like soup, because I just got two months worth of bullion from Nina,” You chide, pressing one last kiss to Sevika’s cheek before bounding up the steps into the farmhouse.
She follows you, watching the movement of your body as you walk to the kitchen. The softness of your hips, your thighs, your tummy, all visible in the little overall shorts you wore to market, made something in her chest want to reach out to you, pull you into her and never let go. 
“She really didn’t have to do that, I’m not sick.”
“Yeah, well, I told them that but they just wouldn’t listen. But hey, at least we got some food out of it? And don’t worry, I’m gonna make everyone some pastries as a thank you,” You rattle off as you put all the goods away, flitting around the kitchen as Sevika hands you items from the bags. You fill her in on the rest of your day, from the sweet lil kid who bought a strawberry croissant from you to the definitely gay ‘best friends’ who loved visiting your stall every Saturday. Sevika listened, watching you and letting all the anxiety ease out of her body, but there was still something in her that needed to take care of you, make sure you were okay. 
She waited until y’all had eaten dinner to act on those urges. Somehow, she’d managed to convince you to shower with her, desperate to get her hands on you.
“Hop in baby, I’ll be there in a second,”  She whispered, pressing a kiss to your forehead after she helped you undress, running her rough hands down your soft curves, squeezing at the fat of your hips. You let out a needy hum, whispering out a soft ‘ok’ and climbing into the shower, letting the hot water flow over you. 
Sevika watched you for a second before yanking off her clothes, dirty from the day, sighing at the relief of having them off her body. Her skin felt sticky, dirty, and she needed a shower with her girl to fix that. 
She slipped into the shower behind you, shifting until she was under the shower head and you were facing her tits. She sees you get flustered, smirking when you snap your eyes up to look at her. 
“Hey there,” You whisper, already sounding like her needy girl. Sevika smirks at you, rubbing at your plush hips and kissing you, huffing at the whines you let out against her. When she pulls away, it’s with a string of spit connecting your lips and a hushed whisper.
“Mmm, calm down darlin’, we gotta get clean first.” 
You pout, but agree. As you wash her hair and scrub each other down, Sevika is merciless with her teasing. It’s not mean, no, just incredibly touchy and needy and gentle. Her rough hands cupping your breasts and grazing your nipples to clean them, sliding down your waist and over your thighs, kneading at your ass, your tummy, truly whatever she can get her hands on. By the time you two were done, you were dripping down your thighs. 
Sevika is silent, thinking, as she leads you to the bedroom. With a soft kiss to your knuckles, she guides you onto the plush bed, letting you sit in the middle. When you go to lay down, she holds out a hand and stops you.
“Don’t, I wanna try something different,” She murmurs, grabbing lube from the dresser and setting any toys you might want on the bedside table. You nod, patiently waiting for her to get on the bed. She passes you a soft towel to place beneath you, climbing onto the bed and helping you lay it out. Once it’s all settled, Sevika sits in front of you, looking uncharacteristically nervous. 
“What’s wrong, honey? You know you can tell me anything,” You say, reaching out for her hand. Sevika lets you intertwine your fingers, the point of contact grounding her. She was worried, all day. She knew you would be okay but she worried anyways, and now she felt almost silly for it. Like she needs to apologize. She knows you would never see it like that, but a part of her felt controlling, ugly, for being so worried.
“I’m sorry I was so worked up this mornin’,” She says, making shaky eye contact. 
“Sevika, it’s okay. I know you just want me safe,” You murmur, pressing a kiss to the back of her hand.
When she speaks, her voice is quiet, meek. She’s beating herself up over something inconsequential, but you know it’s because she’s scared. “I do, but I should be better at trusting you to do things on your own.” 
“Mm, yes, but we can work on that. I had fun today, and I knew I had my girl back home waiting for me, what more could I ask for?” You hum, crawling forward and pressing a kiss to Sevika’s lips, caressing her warm cheek. You’re soft with her, but you want to grab her by the shoulders and scream how much you love her, how much you need her and want her and love how she worries over you, but you stay gentle. You press soft kisses to her cheeks, feeling her grow warm, smiling when her free hands slides up to your hip, massaging the fat. 
“Can I apologize, fully? I did mean it when I said I wanna try something,” She mumbles against you, pressing your foreheads together and looking into your eyes. 
“You don’t have to apologize, but how could I ever say no to an offer like that? What is it you wanna try, Vika?”
She takes a deep breath, steadying herself. “I wanna try scissoring. Or, uh, tribbing? Still not sure what it’s actually called.”
“Oh. I’ve, um, I’ve never done that but I’m down to try,” You stutter out, heart racing at the idea. 
Sevika smiles, kissing you again before starting to maneuver you so that you’re both sitting up, one of your thighs over one of hers, and vice versa, cunts almost pressed against each other. She reaches back for the lube, drizzling some over your pussy and inner thighs, doing the same to her own. You’re watching her, hungry, certain that you’re dripping down your thighs all the same. 
You nearly whine when Sevika starts spreading the lube over you, rubbing your inner thighs and your mound before trailing down and toying with your swollen clit. Your head tips back, whining out a soft “Fuck, Vika, please.”
“I know, oh I know sugar, just be patient,” She hums, pressing your clit a little rougher before spreading the lube around her own center. The brush of her calloused fingers against her clit makes her twitch, so unbelievably needy for her girl, but she resists. Once she deems you both sufficiently warmed up, Sevika places one hand on your hip, tugging you forward until your cunts meet. 
And god, the warmth makes her head spin. It’s all so warm and wet, she can feel the slick heat emanating from you. And you’re so soft, the fat of your thighs and your pussy pressing into her, driving her insane. Sevika moans, unable to hear anything but your whimpers and, when she starts moving, the nasty slick noises from between your legs. 
“Fu-fuck, Jesus Christ, honey,” She groans, grinding against you and feeling her clit pushing against your wet pussy. She can just feel your clit, hard and needy, pressing into her. It’s turning her into a fucking mess, the way your grinding into her and whining, soft body jiggling with each thrust. The movement of your chest makes her mouth water, wanting desperately to suck on your nipples.
You’re not much better, already trying to hold back an orgasm. The way Sevika’s hair is grinding against your clit makes you whimper, your needy hole clenching against her. She looks gorgeous, her tits bouncing and her dark nipples looking unbelievably good. You wanna bite them, suck on them and hear her whine for you. The thought only serves to make you grind against her harder. 
“Feels – fuck– feels so fucking good baby,” You huff, one hand reaching out to rub at Sevika’s abs and tits. Sevika grunts, grinding harder and getting frustrated that you weren’t close enough. 
She reaches out, grabbing your ass and pulling you closer, choking out a moan  at the contact. Somehow, it’s even hotter and wetter, the tight slide of your cunts making her head fuzzy. She’s pulling you into her with every grind of her hips, grunting as she does and driving you insane. There’s little you can do but whine and scramble for her, grinding against her and crying. 
You’re basically sitting in her lap, having let her sit up with her legs folded under her to better pull you into her. You’re close enough to kiss her now, close enough to suck on her nipples. You bite one and she whimpers, pulling you into her even harder and tilting your head up with her free hand. She pulls you into a kiss, tears welling up at the feel of your soft pussy grinding against her clit so well. It’s all so intense, you well Sevika completely take over as you feel yourself getting closer. 
She’s giving you deep thrusts, grinding as if she was wearing her strap, making you leak all over her. “Vika, baby, ‘m close – fuck – ‘m so close.” 
Your gasping whines make her shake, pulling you into another kiss and grinding harder and harder until she feels the knot burst, tugging you into a hug and holding your entire body as she quakes. She feels you cum against her, trembling in her hold as she grunts, gasping for air as her orgasm rips through her. 
You feel like you’re on fire, cunt leaking and clenching against Sevika’s pussy, clit throbbing. It’s divine, what Sevika does to you, and this orgasm is proof. 
As you come down, you two are panting, holding each other and placing little kisses wherever you can. Sevika lets you down slowly, laying you against the bed and sidling up next to you, laying on her side and trailing one gentle hand up your tummy. 
“How was that, sugar?” She asks, tone teasing and loving all the same. You giggle, turning onto your side to look at her and press a kiss to her nose.
“We gotta do that more often,” You mumble, pressing kisses to her lips, feeling her hands grip onto your hips and slowly making you straddle her. 
“Mmm, how about we try a different position this time, then?” She murmurs, voice deep and low and needy. You smile, slotting your pussies against each other for round two.

summary: you get pouty on a ride home with lee.
⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆ ⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆ ⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾
You squirmed in your seat, pouting and staring at Lee. This was the longest road trip you had ever been on. 
Your daddy planned the perfect day today. He woke you up early and surprised you with the news of a day trip for just the two of you. He took you to the apple orchard where you picked some fruit and ate apple turnovers for breakfast. Then, it was to the farm where you petted goats and baby chicks. By late afternoon he had taken you to the tulip farm and asked a nice couple to take photos of you on Lee’s film camera. 
Everything was perfect. Until the ride home when some unexpected traffic added another two hours to your commute. You’d had such a wonderful day and you didn’t want to seem ungrateful or make your daddy upset by being bratty. But it was way past your bedtime and all you wanted was to rest your head in Lee’s plush lap and fall asleep with your face against his soft belly. 
You let out another whine. 
“I know, baby. Daddy’s sorry but I can’t drive with ya on my lap. It’s not safe, sweetheart.” He offered you his right hand to hold.
You accepted it gladly, kissing the back of Lee’s hand. 
“How ‘bout we get your mind off a’ this mess, huh? What’d ya like seen’ today?”
“Mmm. I like the goats and the duckies.”
“Yeah? That was pretty funny when of ‘em got distracted by a frog an’ broke the line.”
You giggled. “Yeah, and den all the duckies keep walking and he almost got lost! He have to walked so fast he almost fell down.”
Lee spared a look at you then returned his eyes to the road. “Did ya like them apple pastries from the orchard?”
You nodded. “They was so yummy! The bestest breakfast ever! Can we make them at home, Daddy?”
“Your daddy’s not much of a baker, baby.” He sensed your disappointment and recovered quickly. “Well, I might have a coupla’ my ma’s old recipe cards in a cabinet. There’s gotta be an apple turnover recipe in there somewhere. And we already got the best apples in the state, so just tell Daddy what else ya need from him o’ the store.”
“Yay! Yay! Thank you, Daddy.” 
“Anything’ for you, sweetheart.” Lee was grinning now. He couldn’t see your face because he was focused on the road, but he could feel your happiness radiating from you. 
“You help me make the tarts?”
He squeezed your hand. “Sure will. There’s lots a’ steps I can help ya with. Like cuttin’ up the apples. Little babies like you have no business around sharp tools.”
You hummed in agreement and daydreamed about the pastries you and Lee would make. Now feeling less sad, you looked out the window and yawned. 
“Gettin’ tired over there?”
You shook your head but you were already starting to nod off. 
Lee chuckled when he got a glimpse of you fighting off sleep. “Go on and rest your head on the winda’ baby. I’ll wake ya when we get home.”
You grunted but did as he said. You fell asleep still holding your daddy’s hand with the rumble of the car and his gentle squeezes lulling you to sleep.
