Catalina's POV
A knock on my door pulled me out of my trance and I turned my gaze to the door. A worried Gilberto walked in. "Boss, I heard what happened. How I wish I had been here. That boy wouldn't have been able to lay a hand on you!" He was fuming as he walked quickly to my desk."It's fine Gilberto, you had to work," I astutely stated, picking up some paper works that had been calling for my attention."Elonzo and those good-for-nothings didn't do anything. I can punish them if you'd like Boss." He suggested with a hopeful gaze. I knew he liked violence but there'd be none on the ranch, at least not while I was here. "I said it's fine. I'll deal with it." My tone was firm"Okay, Boss.""And Gilberto," I called out, not looking at him once."The incident with the fire doesn't happen again," I warned, flipping the pages. Burning his house wasn't the punishment asked I for but Gilberto went ahead anyways."Yes, Boss. I promise it won't happen again."He was about to leave when he paused, "Boss?" He called out to me, gaining my attention the second time. "I just wanted to remind you to be careful. There are a lot of snakes lurking around during this season.""I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your concern." My reply was short, hinting he needed to leave.I was alone once again, lost in my thoughts of revenge. I couldn't think of anything to help me get back at him. My head was starting to hurt from all the crazy ideas I had but none seemed to work out the way I wanted. It always ended with me getting hurt.I slouched in my seat, ready to give up. A sigh left me when suddenly, it struck me. The best either I could come up with was right under my nose. A devilish smirk graced my lips as I plotted everything.********Just as I thought, the coast was clear. With no one in sight, I tiptoed towards his stable and was met with three horses, they ate away on the hay set in front of them. They didn't look like they cared much about what I was doing there except for one. He eyed me, wary set in him. I took a step closer to him and he stepped back, neighing loudly for help. I got the hint immediately and stepped back, lucky for me, he stopped.I let out a breath, easing my nerves. I had to finish quickly otherwise I'd get caught. Just as I was about to pull out my equipment, a voice stopped me in my track. "What are you doing?" I'd recognize that voice anywhere, it was Andres.I turned slowly, quickly shoving my stuff in my bag. Luckily he didn't notice, he was too busy staring at my body to notice anything I was doing. "Hey!""Catalina? What are you doing here?" Surprise dripped from his tone as he took some steps closer."I came to see you. We need to talk." The quiver in my voice didn't go unnoticed by him. "Are you okay?" He held both my arms in his hands, concern etched all over his face.I looked around me when he urged me to go on so I said the first thing that came to my mind."We need to talk about the fence!" Fuck!"We got nothing to discuss. Your horses broke it down so you should fix it." He had let me go, crossing his arms. His concern for me was out the window in an instant as annoyance took its place."That's what I'm here to talk about. Hear me out and you might just like what I have to offer." He eyed me with wary. His jaw soon dropped as I spoke my next words."I would like to purchase your ranch." The look he gave me didn't alter my confidence. This wasn't what I came for but it was going even better than I planned and if I played my cards right, I could get rid of him for good!When he didn't say anything, I took the liberty to continue, "I'll pay you for your troubles. I know you've been trying to fix this place up and it looks great, better than the last time I was here. I could pay you in full. Just name your price." Confidence oozed off me like a running river, it just kept flowing.He gave a little laugh. "What gave you the impression that I was interested in selling this place? This has been in my family for years now, I can't just give it up."He wasn't taking me seriously."I think you should re-think this. Have a look at what I have to offer. You'll be pretty impressed with how far I can go to get something I want."A slight pause filled the air. "You want to know what I think?" He cocked up a brow, the perfect arch hidden under his hair. "I think I like you.""You remind me of yourself from before, always going after what you want. You haven't changed one bit but you are trying to hide it and I don't understand why. I like the old you.""I'm not having this conversation again," I said, exhausted from having to repeat myself. "I told you, people change," I snapped."I know that but things can be different now. You don't have to be that way anymore. I'm here for you. We can be friends and maybe one day, you'll see me as something more." I shook my head and he immediately turned pale, all the blood left his face. "Catalina, don't move." His eyes were locked on something behind me.I tried turning back to take a look but he placed a hand on my shoulders, stopping me. "There's a snake right behind you. I can kill it and get you out of here but you mustn't make any sudden movement, got it." The serious look he had assured me he wasn't playing around. I began hyperventilating, not sure what to do anymore. I was petrified beyond belief.Grabbing a hold of my face, he said, "Hey, look at me. You are going to be safe, alright. I won't let this thing hurt you." I couldn't say anything. Suddenly, I was mute, the danger had fried my brain and I couldn't get a word out."Stay with me, breathe in and out. I'll get you out of here, I promise."I still hadn't taken a look at the snake and in all honesty, I was not sure I wanted to. I stood still, keeping my eyes shut. I wasn't going to go through this again. I couldn't.I heard rustling before the silence hit. The sound of metal making contact with the ground followed and that was when I heard it. Pain clouded his voice and though I was scared, I was even more frightened to not know what was happening. I opened my eyes to find Andre on one knee clutching his leg, the snake nowhere in sight. "I was bitten," he said in between gasps.Catalina's POVDays passed but I hadn't heard from Andre. I wasn't sure how I felt. A part of me was relieved that he listened to me but another part felt angry and hurt. He gave up so easily like what we had going on didn't matter to him.Night came slowly and I headed to my room without having dinner. I locked my door, checking twice so Nana could not burst through. The woman was old but she had the strength of a hundred men.I turned around to find a figure sitting on my bed. My breathing turned heavier as my fingers frantically searched for the light switch. The light came on, blinding me for a second. I looked quickly at my bed to find a half-naked Andre lying in it. His torso was exposed as his shirt lay on the floor. He looked at ease like he hadn't broken into my room.We started at each other for a minute. I waited for him to speak and when he didn't, I swallowed the limp in my throat and spoke up. "What are you doing here and what is that?" I asked, pointing at his naked fra
Catalina's POV"Will someone please explain to me what is going on here?" The lady who turned out to be Andre's mom yelled. She turned to Felipe, scowling at him. "I left him in your care and you let him do this?!"Felipe had his head bowed, too ashamed to speak. I felt the same, the air was getting hotter and I felt cornered. Andre was about to speak up when she rose a finger, stopping him. "Not a word from you," she said. Her face had turned red as well as her ears. She was furious.She turned to me. "You!"I was baffled. They never questioned the girl but here she was, talking to me. "What do you want with my son?" She asked as she walked up to me. "Money?" She suggested but it came out as a question.I didn't know how I felt at that moment. I was being treated like a whore. We were grown-ups, adults, and free to do whatever we pleased. I turned anxious, not liking where the situation was headed. My fingers clamped over each other as I tried to think of anything except the situatio
Catalina's POV"I'm going to ride you hard."He still didn't say a word as he gazed at me. I turned slightly, picking up his shirt. I placed it over his eyes, saying. "I don't want you to watch me.""Why is that?"I paused for a second, thinking carefully about my next words. "You have a scrutinizing gaze sometimes. It's scary.""Don't let me stop you, go on. Tie me up." He said, a smirk lying on his lips. " I want to see what you can do."I proceeded to blindfold him, a little part of agitated about what he said. I wasn't a good girl and I was going to prove it to him. My fingers lightly grazed his face. His lips thinned out, waiting for me to continue. He urged me by nudging my thigh with his knee as I was still over him.I sat softly on his thighs, my pussy just above his dick. He hissed softly but other than that, there was no reaction from him. I noticed he slightly bit his lips every few minutes. The thin flesh had me wanting to go all in, but I had other things planned.I took
Catalina's POVHe slipped my panties, freely me of the suddenly wet fabric. His hand rubbed the smooth skin and slowly, he slipped in two fingers. I gasped from the feeling which didn't seem to faze him. Instead, he thrust both fingers simultaneously causing me to throw my head back, gasping for air."Close your eyes." I obeyed instinctively, not wanting the moment to end.I felt hot breath on my inner thigh, hands pushed my thighs apart, and a wet tongue soon descended on them. He placed hot kisses everywhere. My back was still against the wall and I was starting to get uncomfortable. Pulled by my arm, my back lay flat on the bed."I won't be gentle," he whispered in my ear, his hot breath on me as he took a lobe in his mouth."Don't be." That was all that was said before the tearing of condoms filled the air and soon, he was thrusting hard in me. I cried from how rough he was being but he didn't stop and I didn't want him to. It was a mixture of pain and pleasure, something I had ne
Catalina's POV"I thought you were kidding when you said he left. Will he be back soon?" I asked as I looked about the place. Felipe was nowhere in sight which was weird because the man was everywhere.Unbuttoning and taking off his shirt, he said, "I don't think so. His wife is ill and he needs to take care of her."My eyes fell on his hardened pink buds. They looked really good and begged to be kissed. I wet my lips instantaneously, ready to devoid the man in front of me. His biceps flexed when he there the piece of clothing over his shoulders and was left in trousers hanging below his waistline."That's awful. He's too old for that. Don't they have kids?" I asked, eager to know more. My eyes searched his, waiting for a response.He shook his head. "She got into an accident a few weeks after they got married and has been bedridden ever since.""Now I feel bad for him. He has been through so much already." I felt like I was dampening the mood but I couldn't help it. Felipe was a kind
Catalina's POVA hand shook me gently, waking me up from my dreamless slumber. "It's almost morning. We should start heading back to avoid questions." He pointed towards the trucks. I sat up and took a moment to clear the sleep from my eyes. It was almost dawn and the grasses had turned wet."I don't have any clothes though." I pointed at the rag that was until a few hours ago, my dress.He looked around for a minute then his eyes fell on something. "Use this," he said as he picked up the napkin and pulled me up before wrapping me in it. It was a little short but it covered the necessities."Let's hurry." He pulled me towards my truck, his other hand occupied with the picnic basket."I'll call you," he said and ushered me into my truck, he slammed the car door softly and took some steps back, waiting for me to drive away first.I looked in the rear view mirror to find him waving at me. I smiled at the small gesture as it was really sweet.I got home a few minutes later and snuck up th
