Unspoken Pleasure (erotica)

To do this I turned to my buddy Jake and enlisted his help again. I called him instead of e-mailing. I asked him to talk to Janice and tell her that he had heard from me and I wanted to offer her a settlement in exchange for a divorce. The offer was a flat fifty thousand dollars. If she didn't take the offer she would never hear from me again and would never get any money from me. She tried to play innocent at first and demanded to know why I had left and why I wouldn't come home. That ended when Jake told her that I knew all about her and her boyfriend Brandon and her plan to divorce me. Janice knew that her game was over. She was still working as a waitress and struggling to get by so she accepted my offer. To do this I needed to return to Texas and hire a lawyer to draw up the papers. Caitlin wasn't pleased when I told her I was going. I explained to her that I needed to close that chapter of my life and promised her that I would return. I had planned on driving to the airport and leave my vehicle in long term parking but she insisted on taking me and wanted to be there when I got back. I think the fact that I was leaving my SUV and all my belongings except what I was taking in one suitcase made her feel a little better.

I left on Sunday and Jake picked me up at the airport when I arrived. I stayed with him and his wife and two kids. Of course I called Caitlin every night. By Friday I had all the paperwork taken care of. Jake took Janice to my lawyer. It was explained that she would get a check for ten thousand now and the balance of forty thousand in sixty days once the divorce was finalized. He showed her the the check that he would hold until the judge made his ruling. She signed the papers and my lawyer gave her a check for ten thousand. I never had to see Janice.

I then thought of the things I had in storage. There were keepsakes and heirlooms from my mother and father as well as yearbooks and other things I wanted to keep. I decided I didn't want to have to come back for them so I rented a moving van and loaded it up. Caitlin just about freaked out when I told her I wasn't flying back. I had to calm her down and when I explained I was bringing back everything that was important to me she got excited about me coming back.

It took me three days of hard driving to cover the sixteen hundred miles. It was Tuesday evening when I pulled into the Rocking B Ranch. I received an enthusiastic welcome from everyone. And that night Caitlin continued welcoming back until early morning when we fell asleep exhausted.

I was now ready to put the rest of my plan into action. That required me to make several trips to the prison that housed Wilson. I wanted him to sell me his ranch. At first he wouldn't agree but I continued to lay out my case. He would be in there for at least seven years before even with good behavior would he be eligible for parole. He had no one to run his ranch and by the time he got out his house and buildings would probably be in ruins. His cattle would probably perish without anyone to feed them in the winter. And I asked him if he thought he would be welcomed back after his conviction. This was ranching country and the ranchers didn't cotton to rustlers. When he realized that he was facing ruin he accepted my offer. At least that way he would have something to start over with when he was released.

The next thing I had to do was find the financing. I moved my money back into the country. I was certain that Janice wasn't going to jeopardize her forty thousand dollars by doing anything stupid. I had got Wilson to accept a price of five million. It was worth quite a bit more so finding financing wasn't hard. I put down a half million and financed the rest. I took a month to get everything finalized.

I had kept what I was doing secret from everyone. It was tough to do do but I told Caitlin and Bill that I had personal business relating to my assets that I had to take care of. It really only took one or two days of my time per week. I had myself set up as a corporation and had the land registered under the business name. Summer had ended and fall was setting in. I was able to hire someone to harvest the hay that was growing on the land. I also hired four hands who would live on the property to run the place for now.

The most experienced hand was made temporary foreman. I explained to him that for awhile I would be an absentee owner even though I would be very close. He could always contact me by phone and I would come by the ranch frequently. The final thing I set into motion was to have the main house remodeled. It was a two story five bedroom house but it needed to be modernized.

Despite the fact that Caitlin was getting frustrated with me because I wouldn't tell her exactly what I was doing when I took off, our relationship still flourished. I knew my love for her grew by the day and I felt she felt the same way about me. As for her, her business as a vet was doing very well. It did require her to be on the road quite a bit but she was happy.

Things did almost come to the point that I told her what I was doing. I had just got back from checking on the remodeling and she cornered me.

"What the hell is going on Carson? Are you seeing someone else?" she demanded to know.

"God, no. I swear that there is no one else. I just have some things that I have to take care of. Please believe me. I promise I will tell you everything soon. I love you Caitlin. I'm asking for you to trust me. Trust in our love."

Caitlin studied my face searching for the truth and her eyes softened. "Okay Carson. I do trust you. But you had better tell me what's going on soon or I'm going to kick your ass," she said. I grabbed her and kissed her with all the love I had. It was spring and the beginning of calving season when the renovation of the main house was complete. It was now time to put the last part of my plan into action. I waited until I had Caitlin alone one afternoon. I asked her to go for a drive with me.

"Honey, I've been thinking that it's time for me to leave the Rocking B Ranch," I said to her with a serious face. Instantly her eyes began to tear up.

"But Carson, you promised you wouldn't leave," she said as her chin quivered.

I had timed it so that we were at the entrance to the former Flying W Ranch. Right now there was no sign over the gates. I turned in and started driving down the private road.

"Well, I wasn't really planning on going far," I said.

Caitlin was looking around confused. I'm not sure she had heard what I said. "Carson, what are we doing on Wilson's land?"

I stalled my answer until we pulled up to the main house. "Come on, I want to show you something." I got out of the truck and went around and opened her her door. Taking her hand I led her up to the front door and opened it. "Carson," she hissed. "What the hell are you doing? We could get in trouble for this."
