Chapter 5

The dining room had been converted to a cocktail lounge in the short time. A band was already playing country music. People were dancing, and some were still eating. Inna led him to the food tables and right to the thing she liked. She loaded the plate but added a few other things as well. “I didn’t eat much at dinner in anticipation,” she explained.

He laughed and shook his head, but didn’t say anything as he looked around. He sees Linda on the dance floor. She, the range staffer, was there with her. She saw him and waved, but kept dancing.

Inna had her puffs and, true to her word, she dragged him to the dance floor and suffered through his bumbling feet. About a half hour and ten songs later, Linda came over and asked him to dance. Inna was busy eating more puffs, so she was more than happy to yield the next dance or two.

“I hope you are not mad about Trent,” Linda said as they danced. “This is my last free weekend for a while, Jason,” she whispered, laying her head on his shoulder. “I enlisted in the Army. I ship to basic Wednesday. I came here to have fun since I will be busy for the next few months. At least for the next couple of months, I won’t have much freedom to do anything.” She kissed his neck. “Don’t think I don’t want a little more of what we had this afternoon. We are so doing that again. But...”

“Don’t worry about it,” he patted her back just above her ass. “I get it. Been there myself.” Sort of, he added in his head. “I would not dream of interfering with it.”

She stayed quiet as the song ended. She again gave him a light kiss as she went back to Trent. Jason went back to the table Inna was at, but she was up at the bar. She came back with two bottles of beer.

“I may be wrong, but I am guessing you are more of a beer guy than wine or mixed drinks,” she handed him one.

Jason nodded. He had avoided drinking but took the bottle, anyway. “Thanks.”

She had him out on the dance floor a few more times after they finished the drinks. She even tried to teach him line dancing. The night was getting later and only a few people remained. They were at the food table when her phone rang.

“Sorry it’s the ranger station. I have to take this,” she explained as she stepped away. It was a couple of minutes when she came back. “No, I understand. I’m at the ranch. It will take me about thirty minutes to get to the site.” She looked for the plate she had started making as she hung up. Jason held it out, covered with foil from one of the pans. From the puffed up look, it was overloaded.

“I suggest not eating and driving. They should warm up nicely in the microwave, but I suggest maybe a moist towel to keep them from being too dry.”

“I’m so sorry. Don’t forget about the trail rider in the morning. Done make me come looking for you.” She grabbed the plate and rushed out the door.

The room was nearly empty. Jason grabbed a few bottles of the tea going back to his room. He ordered a movie but fell asleep halfway through it.

Inna didn’t give him a chance to forget. She sat with him during breakfast and walked him to the stable with her. The group was already forming and was a mix of kids and adults. She walked him to a mare all brown except the mane. That was black.

“Jason, this is Lady. She is trained for beginning riders. All you need to do is get on and give a squeeze with your legs for her to move. She knows the path. If you need to stop, just give her a pat on the neck. Before you get on though, just sit and talk to her. It is good that she learns your voice.”

The ride went well. Only a couple of kids went off the trail and had to be called back. Inna walked with him back to his room, where they found Linda sitting. It was clear she had been crying. It took a half hour for them to get the story. Apparently, she and Trent had hooked up as expected, but he was more talk than experience. He lasted less than three minutes. She didn’t care about that. She had her share of bad fucks. But he was going around telling everyone that she was the problem, that her pussy was to lose.

Jason excused himself and ignored the “don’t do anything stupid” comments as he left. He found Trent at the range. He was busy talking to a few girls there. He didn’t say anything, even when Trent started to joke about his poor shooting the day before. Apparently, it was the worst score anyone had got.

“I’m sure I can do better today,” he said as he took the Glock again.

“Not likely from what I saw.”

“Care for a wager?” Jason pulled out his cash. He had three one hundred-dollar bills and a couple of fifties with smaller bills.

“To easy to get better when you are that bad.”

“Maybe. So come show me what I need to do since you are so good. Or maybe you are all talk and no action. I’m sure even you can make it last longer than three minutes.”

The girls giggled, but Trent took offense immediately. “I can outlast anyone,” he shouted. “I can outshout anyone here. It’s my job.” He tried to cover his slip.

“Well, prove it, tough guy. I’ll be waiting.”

Trent couldn’t let it lay with the girls there. He grabbed one of the pistols and shoved it into his waistband. He picked up the magazines and shoved out the door to the range.

Jason sent two targets down range using two stations and waited. Trent didn’t bother with ear or eye protection. He walked out with a swagger with his “fans” behind him. He took up the position beside Jason and sent a target down. He stopped it a foot before Jason’s. He did a half assed quick draw and fired.

Jason took a moment to check the magazines. He seated it and proceeded to empty it. He dropped the empty and reloaded as he stepped to the other lane. Again, he fired rapidly, repeating it with the final magazine. He cleared the weapon as he called the targets forward. He looked at the target. Trent was showing it off to the girls. He had fifty points and one missing round. Linda’s score had been better than that.

“Seems a girl beats you at everything,” Jason tsked. “Looks to me as if you can’t even keep it up on the range, but that is a small issue,” he continued.

Trent growled and shoved Jason. It was all he needed. In one quick move, Jason grabbed Trent’s arm and pulled it around, before he shoved him to the booth wall. “You can spout a lot of crap and not bother me a bit. But defaming a girl’s character because of your own inadequacies is where I draw the line.” Jason shoved the Glock he had fired into Trent’s pants. The barrel may not have been as hot as it was, but the look of pain on Trent’s face increased, letting Jason know he hit the mark. “If I were you, I’d make sure any talk stops, before someone like me gets really mad.”

Jason let go of the arm and walked away. The other attendant had been out and sat wordlessly. He knew what Trent had done and wouldn’t say a word of what happened. What he was looking at were Jason’s targets. All the rounds were dead center. The other target, the rounds, were all in the head.

When he got back to his room, he was greeted with soft moans as he entered. Inna and Linda were on the bed, both naked, and each had their faces planted firmly between the others legs. He watched from the door. Linda was quivering a minute later, pulling her head up just enough to notice he had returned.

“Just going to watch or join in?” she asked, but went back to licking Inna’s very sweet pussy.

“Wasn’t sure if I was invited,” he laughed. Walking over, he reached down and massaged one of Linda’s breasts.

“Fuck her,” she said between licks.

He laughed again, reaching over and rubbing one of Inna’s breasts. “That would be up to her.”

The only response was both of them moving just enough to where Inna was on top and had her legs spread over Linda’s head. Looked like an invitation to him as he undressed. He caressed her ass cheeks as he got behind her and slowly pushed into her. Linda licked at his cock as he slid in. The tip of her tongue was out and flat against the shaft. She licked at both his cock and her clit before latching on to Inna’s clit. Inna stopped to moan as she pushed down and back. Her focus lost, she stopped licking Linda. She hit a small peak. When she came down, she pushed three fingers into Linda and used her thumb on her clit.

Linda continued to suck on Inna’s clit as Jason slide in and deep. The few times he pulled out, she was quick to suck the tip, sucking all Inna’s juice from the head. Whatever Inna was doing seemed to be working well as Linda started to shake and her thighs squeezed at Inna’s head. Jason got faster, moving a little harder. Pulling out, he pushed to Linda’s mouth then back to Inna. The two women acted as if they were longtime lovers.

“Cum in me so she can suck it out of my pussy,” Inna bellowed through another orgasm. It took a few more minutes, but he was happy to oblige as he bottomed out in her, shooting his cream deep. Linda grabbed his balls in her mouth.

They shifted and Linda was on the bottom as Inna lowered down over her face. Jason went to slide into Linda’s pussy, but she lifted up. “Fuck my ass,” she told him. It was more of a command as she dove into Inna’s dripping snatch. He didn’t mind it. Of all the orders he had to follow, that was a more pleasant one. Her ass was really tight but was wet, from Inna’s tongue, he presumed. Inna leaned over and they locked lips and had a small tongue wrestle as Jason pushed in slowly. He took her easy and slow, feeling the channel’s tightness. If he hadn’t already blown a load, he would have cum fast in her.

Time went by in a blink. Inna took a quick shower and had to rush off to another trail ride for more experienced riders. Linda and Jason just stayed in bed, cleaning up just before dinner. Inna joined them.

The rest of the weekend went great. There wasn’t an event or activity that they didn’t try. The zip line was a big hit, and they did the wall again, without the betting. They took the largest of them. Linda entered the competition but came in third. They mentioned Jason’s targets as being the best for the weekend and tried to get him to compete, but he declined. Everything was going well. The last night was the camp-out. Linda had not spent much time with Steve and Mark and opted out of that as much as she wanted to go. They were going to do the geocaching in the morning. There were several waypoints to go to, and they went a couple of miles into the park. It was the one thing that Jason had not done, but figured he could always come back just for that.

The camping went well, and Inna arranged to share a tent with Jason. They could play too much. There were children that went. It didn’t stop them, but they had to keep it very limited. They roasted hotdogs and sausages and, of course, there were s’mores.

Jason was going to leave after they go back. There wasn’t much left and check out was after lunch, anyway. He noted to call ruby when he left, just to be sure. When they got back, the ranch was in chaos.

A state trooper met them as they came off the trail. He spoke to Inna for a few minutes before Inna turned to everyone and told them to head to the dining room. Two officers escorted them. The walk was gruesome. Though covered, they could see bodies on the ground. Jason counted six. The questioning was quick, since they were not around the area at the time.

Inna found Jason at a corner table. As more of the guests were questioned, to police sent them into the dining room. Lunch was another buffet, but few were eating. Jason had two plates in front of him, untouched. He had seen it in his line of work. What was bothering him was there was no sign of Linda. He also hadn’t seen Steve or Mark.

“She wasn’t among them,” Inna told him as she sat. “Fifteen dead, another thirty injured, a few critical.” She was hesitant. “There are a dozen guests missing. Linda and a few others logged in for a geocache early this morning. The Rangers are searching the park, but they could be anywhere.”

Jason stood up. “Then I guess it’s time to go looking.” He left her there, running out and to his room. Inna caught up a few minutes later. He was filling canteens.

“Jason, what do you think you are doing?” she panted. She may have kept in shape, but she hadn’t run that much in a while.

“Joining the search. If they have that much to cover and the police and rangers are limited in manpower. If I take one of the ATVs, I can check out the area they were going.” He looked at her. “It is better than doing nothing.”

She was going to join in herself anyway, but still didn’t think Jason should go out there. As a ranger, it was her job to be out there.

Jason accessed the data page for the geocache. He didn’t have the time to figure which one, so he downloaded them all. Inna followed him out and toward the main through fair. She grabbed him and pulled him toward a set of ranger vehicles. She grabbed gear and tossed him a holstered pistol. “We can’t take the ATVs. There is no path. I have another idea.” None of the rangers there said a word to her about the weapon she gave him. She ran off toward the stables.

“I know you are not a great rider, but they are the fastest option.” She saddled two of the stallions. Jason was a bit concerned, but talked to the one as she saddled the other. After he awkwardly got into the saddle, they were on the way. The horse acted as if it understood the urgency and Jason’s lack of riding skills. Inna took his GPS and set the course. They reached the last waypoint thirty minutes later.
