yeah I'm back again with a prequel to distraction because the thirst does not STOP. thanks to everyone for the love, I haven't written like this in a pretty long time. Of course always a shoutout to @domdollass for her support and help with the ideas đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°. Let's pop shit off.
Warnings/tags: smut, creampie kink, coworkers to lovers, light angst, fluff (more fluff than angst tbh)
You'd been working at Jefferson Ranch for over two years. Despite having dreams of owning your own farm and giving back to your community with fresh produce, you decided a stepping stone of just working on would do.
They'd paid you splendidly and you were pretty damn good at your job, maximizing their profits tenfold and even creating new customers through your ability to charm people.
Your green thumb could use work, however, and your bosses could tell.
The owners had decided to bring in an expert on revitalizing crop growth, too many apparently "dying" under your care.
You didn't need help, you basically ran the ranch on your own.
He came waltzing in eyes bright and warm. Already spouting ideas to get the crops jumping again.
"Name's Raymond." He introduced himself with the same warmth his eyes held, but all you saw was competition.
"Never seen you before, Ray-mond." You stretched his name out taking his hat off his head placing it on your own.Â
"Hire, yeah I can tell." You gave him a once-over his face fresh."I've been here for a pretty long time, and I know my lane."Â
"What might that lane be?"
"Keeping this ranch in tip top shape."
"Yes, obviously." You repeated after him squinting at his smile.
He laughed like something was funny and you walked away trying to seem intimidating.Â
There was an attempt to distance yourself but it was easy to keep looking at the eye candy.Â
And even easier to flirt a little bit.Â
And given the chance to mess with him, you took it.
You relaxed your throat, taking as much of him as you could spit gathering around the corners of your mouth.Â
He'd already made you cum, and you wanted to return the favor.Â
You kept up eye contact your tongue swirling around his tip, he looked so flustered and so cute, he was like putty in your hands.Â
"Keep looking at me, don't be shy." You spoke your voice hoarse, working your wrist his hand grasping the back of the shabby wall.
"You wanna fuck my mouth?" He didn't have to say the word, his body doing more of the talking precum dripping onto your tongue.
Holding your head, he brought you in closer his tip hitting the back of your throat. You gagged tears springing in your eyes as your fingers dug into his thighs.Â
He came in your mouth with a rumbling moan, settling backas his chest rising up and down.Â
Wiping your lip off with your thumb, he caught you before you could walk away kissing you. You'd never kissed like that before, especially with a man you barely had a couple of conversations with.
You caught each other's eyes, this look of amazement he had and you walked backwards trying to contain yourself.Â
You felt unprofessional. Irresponsible, Distracted as hell but also-Â
Satisfied, very satisfied.Â
Sneaking around felt unnecessary but at the same time you enjoyed the privacy.Â
It wasn't ideal but you made it work.
"Fuck-" You huffed out, gripping the railing, your knuckles turning white. Your panties and jeans were pooled around your ankles as he took you from behind.
You'd been talking to him about the progress with the blueberries, trying not to compliment him but blushing at his grin at your approval.
Suddenly, you were half-naked from the waist down, closer to the stable outside another spur of the moment hookup.
He let out a low breaths, his grip on you getting tighter as he brought your ass back more and more
"I'm cumming!"Â You cried, not even getting to enjoy your hazed vision began to focus on the horses on the other side.
"He's about to fall!" The horse was starting to tilt and you both hurried to get yourselves together so you could catch him. The horse stopped moving positioning itself right back in place, scraping his hoof on the ground.
"Did she just?" There was a neigh that almost sounded laugh and they stared at her, it was a false alarm.Â
Brownie could be so dramatic.
"Yeah, she did." And it didn't take long for you both to burst out laughing, the moment before ruined and a sweeter one taking its place.Â
"You wanna get dinner?" He asked finally getting a chance to fix his belt buckle.
"I've got a taste for something I can't put my finger on."
"Up for trying something new?"
"Never." You said this yet let him lead you to his car and let him talk you into trying a restaurant far off from the ranch.
Technically it wasn't a date, just two coworkers enjoying a meal.Â
Even if you both fucked before, sometimes again afterwards, it didn't mean anything at all.
You'd never say you were in love out loud but somehow you'd always be smiling going to scoop up horse shit. Just cause you'd get to see him.Â
"You growing your beard out?" You asked during one of your lunches, eyeing his slightly fuzzy face.Â
"Eh, I was thinking about it but not at the same time. It can be scratchy-"Â
"I think you'd look cute." You interrupted taking a sip of your coffee, "Kinda ruggish thing going on, it'll suit you."
He looked in deep thought after your words and his eyes stayed trained on you when you left.Â
The beard grew full just as your heart did, each peck on his lips tickling your face.Â
Sometimes it tickled your thighs.Â
"Ray-" You moaned, hands clutching his hair to pull his mouth closer. He lapped at your pussy, your eyes hazing as his tongue went in deeper.Â
He replaced his tongue with two of his fingers, moving up to give you some more one on one attention. His face was so sweet, as his hands went faster, your jaws going agape.Â
"I'm gonna cum, oh fuck-"
He kept looking at you, his fingers curling at your spot. His eyes, the way they shone in the dim light it was too much-Â
"I love you!" It slipped from your mouth, without your permission and you hadn't realized your thighs clenching together from the pressure.Â
He kissed you again working you through the orgasm, your chest filled with warmth.Â
Post sex, you started by trying to downplay the intimacy, with your knees to your chest turned away you felt easy enough to speak.Â
"I um, I didn't mean-" You could barely get the words out, tension in the air."My mouth can be really reckless at times."Â
"Its fine, we all certain stuff in the heat of the moment." Ray spoke gently but there was disappointment. You felt disappointment in yourself.Â
"I get it."His eyes said differently, obviously you trying to take the words back was worse than you ever saying them.Â
You weren't anything official so you couldn't get mad when you saw him talking up another helping hand.Â
Or when he'd listen to that bitch, trying to convince him to go for the next rodeo.
"You'd win for sure, Ray." You mocked her voice in her head, your blood pumping with anger.
He was putting his life at risk just for a couple of seconds of adrenaline.Â
You'd told him so too because if he can listen to someone who barely knows him, he could take a second to listen to you.Â
"You obviously aren't shoveling a damn thing."Â
"You weren't, now stop trying to avoid me and listen."
He let out air through his nose leaning onto the handle and gesturing for you to begin.
"Maybe right now isn't the time for you to be gallivanting on horses."
"You should focus on something, a little less risky." You spoke gently failing at controlling the attitude in your tone.
"Do I need to spell it out?" He patted sweat off of his head irritation etching more into his face.
"It's dangerous, what if you crack your head open?!"Â
"I could do that riding Brownie any other day."Â He said casually, patting the horse you both knew how to handle.
They picked horses for the competitors, they wanted things to be more interesting.
They wanted him hurt, why couldn't he get understand that?
"Yeah but what if someone-"Â
"Why don't you just say what you really think in full instead of trying to scare me." Raymond said with a huff, his arms crossed over his chest.Â
Your mouth twisted and your eyes went to the grass, struggling to find a comeback when you had none. You stayed silent some more, another scoff leaving his lips as he continued.
"It's alright, the world won't end if you say you're worried."Â
"I don't worry about grown ass men. Especially single ones with nothing better to do." Your words stung and it was clear from the way he looked it didn't hurt just you.Â
"Wonder why I'm single." He said under his breath, leaving the conversation even though you weren't done.
"That's what you focused on!?" He didn't respond just kept walking.
 You felt silly your mouth upturned into a pout. Brownie began to nudge you with her head and you pushed her off trying to fight back frustration tears.
A night later you stood on his doorstep, fist hesitant to even knock on the wood. Swallowing back pride You rapped on it quickly moving back to wait for him.
Now you felt silly, stupid and, creepy bouncing your leg to ease any nerves.
His door opened and there he was, hands into his jean pockets, as handsome as ever.Â
"Hi." A minute passed by of silence and he gestured inside.
You'd been in his house before, yet this time the decorations seemed even more interesting the drum of your heart thundering in your ears.
"I'm sorry." You blurted hating how uncomfortable between the two you things had become.
"What I said, the way I said it." You glanced at your hands,"I just didn't want you to get hurt."Â
"I wasn't going to get hurt, love." His petname  made your stomach flip-flop.
Why couldn't he just be an asshole and make things easier.
"Neither did you." He had you stumped and it made you want to share, made you wanna open upm
"I missed talking at work."Â
"Even when you don't listen-"You felt your hands shake. "I still wanna talk, I still wanna be around you."
"I missed you too." He responded, the warmth of his body coming off in waves.
You didn't catch when he had stood up, or when he had gotten into your space but the smell of his aftershave was so comforting you didn't mind missing the details.
"And I listened to what you had to say even if it was biased."Â You laughed a little bit, his own smile coming up.
"I listen to everything you say because your opinion matters so much to me."
"You know how you talk about starting back up your own farm? I never tell you but I think you can do it."Â
"No, I think we can do it." Raymond spoke a lot more firmly, his conviction already moving you.
You were close to tears again, overwhelmed from how much you felt for him and angry at yourself for blocking the feelings.Â
Your silence didn't help things and you could tell he was confused but still talking.Â
"Yeah?" He stopped mid sentence, eyes meeting as you ran your tongue over your bottom lip.
Taking him by his cheeks you pressed your lips together, his hands running down your ass to the back of your thighs. He picked you up easily your legs wrapping around his waist.Â
His hard on pressed into your clothed center and you could feel yourself getting wetter, humping for some friction.
You both were naked in no time and he was deep inside of you, groaning your praises where he belonged.
"Keep your legs open." His demand was simple and short yet you struggled in following directions.Â
His thumb pressed into your clit, hands on your thighs to keep you spread your eyes stuck on his glistening dick.
It went in and out, in and out hitting your spot with a precision you couldn't describe.
"I wanna look up at you." He said breathlessly, sliding out easily your wetness glimmering on his length.
Laying on his back flat and easing you back onto him, he put a hand onto one of your breasts his finger flicking at a nipple.
"I love you!" He rocked into you harder, his hips thrusting rougher.Â
"Again." He exhaled, drilling up into your pussy your back arching as you dug your nails into his belly.
You kept on bouncing, reeling on your knees your thighs beginning to tremble as you hit a higher pitch.
"Ray, I'm bout to-" You couldn't even get the words out, a cry leaving your throat as you orgasmed.
You fell forward onto his chest, his hand massaging your back gently while working for his nut.
"Cum in me," You uttered, his strokes not missing a beat.Â
"You heard me, cum in me Daddy." You lulled into his ear, his toes damn near curling from the request.
You could tell this was his favorite part, his movements getting sloppier but not stopping.Â
"Cum in your pussy." He nipped at your shoulder, his groans vibrating into your skin, he filled you up to the brim making you feel warm inside.
His dick twitched in you more than once, and from his ragged breathing you could tell he was overstimulated. You bit back a smile, pride filling you up like his cum.
"I love you too."Â He said with no hesitation, leaning back into your body for a cuddle.
Your eyes shutting, you let sleep take over.Â
It was morning sooner than later and you woke to an empty space next you and food in the air.
You slipped on one of his shirts and a pair of his boxers, making your way down the stairs, throwing your braids into a bun.Â
He slid a plate in front of you with breakfast on it, something you never stayed around to eat.
His pancakes were so fluffy they damn neared rivaled your grandmother's.
"If you can cook this good, we gotta stop going out to eat."Â You stated, trying to stop yourself from moaning.
He had to have added something extra.
"I only cook like this for those who stay over long enough."
"Yeah I better be." You mumbled, stabbing your fork into an egg.
He stopped scrubbing the dish suddenly, turning to look your way.
"Yeah, but I don't think I refilled my last prescription."Â You said trivally with a shrug, nothing clicking.Â
He had to have put crack in these pancakes-Â
"Are you trying to be a parent?" He asked suddenly with panicked eyes, just as you paused mid-chew.Â
"Obviously, no-" At the quick realization you stuffed the final pancake in your mouth, tossed him his keys and off to the local pharmacy you went.Â
He hadn't said anything but clearly this was going to be more than casual from onward.Â
Which was perfectly fine with you.
