Rodeo ? Garth Brooks]  


The following morning saw both cowboys sleep a little later than usual. It had been quite a busy previous day for them both, getting Wing settled and unpacking Heero's things. It had taken them until late evening to finally find places for all of Heero's possessions that he'd brought with him. Heero had eyed the clawed tub in Duo's bathroom with longing, but both men had decided to forgo a soak in the tub for a quick shower as neither really had the stamina to stay awake long enough to enjoy the soak.

Duo fed the horses whilst Heero cooked breakfast, Duo reporting that both stallions seemed to have settled down a bit for the moment. Heero was relieved a touch at that, concerned how Wing would react to being permanently in the other stallion's presence. Duo had simply said Scythe would have to suck it up and get used to sharing his home and master with the other horse as Duo wasn't about to let either one of them go.

“What have you got planned for today?” Heero asked as they ate their french toast.

“I've got to go take a look at a couple of mares that might be suitable for the stud,” Duo replied. “I was hoping you'd come with me.”

“As long as I'm not going to be in the way.”

“Heero, we're going to be business partners in this venture and you have just as much say in what mares we purchase as I do. We need to look honestly at the mares, their faults and good points. We both know our own stallions' good and bad points so it's a case of seeing if the mares would be a viable option to breed with either of the two studs we have.”

“I guess two sets of eyes are better than one.”

“You bet'cha.” Duo finished his breakfast and took his plate to the sink to start washing up, Heero followed a moment later.

Once the kitchen was tidy, both cowboys fetched their hats and put on their boots. Climbing into Duo's jeep, they set off for the stud that had the mares for sale.

* * *

“I like the look of the bay mare and the skewbald, but I'm not too keen on the chestnut,” Heero said as they studied the four mares currently standing in the corral for their inspection.

“The roan isn't bad, a bit coarse in the head but nice hind quarters,” Duo said as he studied the mares from the corral fence.

The stud owner opened the gate and the three stepped inside the corral. gI'll bring them up one by one for you to have a close look at,h Ken, the owner of the stud told them.

“Thanks,” replied Duo.

The bay mare was presented first, Heero and Duo looking her over with keen interest. She was compact with a good shoulder, but upon closer inspection of her front legs, Heero noted she was off set in her cannon bones and a touch too long in her pasterns. gHer front legs aren't very good,h he whispered to Duo as Ken trotted the mare out for them.

Duo looked closely at the mare's legs as she trotted out. gI agree with you. I  know both Wing and Scythe are straight and correct in their front legs and looking at hers I don't think either stud would be able to influence breeding that out by much.h

“No, I don’t think so either. If we are to breed good quality stock they need to have straight, strong legs to withstand the work and pressure,” Heero stated.

“Pass on the bay mare then?”

“Yeah, I think so,” Heero said.

The chestnut was presented next, the mare standing quietly whilst both cowboys appraised her form.

“A bit straight in the shoulder, but the front legs are good,” Duo muttered.

“Nice hocks, but she tends to be a bit on the goose rump side of things. She also looks a little long in the back too.”

“A possible?” Duo whispered.

“I think so. Both Wing and Scythe would improve on her.”

“Okay.”

The roan was next and both men took a good, long look at her.

“Aside from her head, she's a touch short in the neck,” Duo stated.

“She's nice and straight in the legs and short in the back,” Heero replied.

“I think she would cross well with Wing. He'd give her a bit more length of rein and soften up her head.”

Ken trotted the mare out and both Heero and Duo liked the movement of the mare. They looked to each other and nodded.

The skewbald was the last of the mares to be presented and stood calmly but with a keen look in her eye as she was appraised.

“Nicely balanced overall and a good shoulder,” Duo decided.

“Her hocks could be a bit better but Scythe would improve on that. I like her,” Heero replied.

“Yeah, I do too.”

Whilst Ken put the mares back into their corral Heero and Duo stepped out to have a discussion.

“I think we should skip the bay and the chestnut, I don't doubt that Wing or Scythe would improve on them both, but their faults are just a little too pronounced for my liking.”

“I agree with you, Heero. I like the roan and the skewbald the best, the faults they have aren't as bad and shouldn't be too hard to better.” Duo smiled at Heero. “Shall we see if we can work a deal for those two then?”

“Sounds good to me.”

Half an hour later, the guys had negotiated with Ken and gotten the price down by a few hundred dollars. The deal was struck and pending an all clear vet check, the mares would change ownership. Duo left a holding deposit on the mares and told Ken he would arrange with his vet to come out and do the check when it was convenient. If the mares passed, Duo would arrange the final payment and pick the mares up.

With the final rodeo being just a couple of days off now, and both Heero and Duo competing in it, Ken was quite happy to wait until the following week for the vet check and such. With a shake of their hands, they parted company.

“I could just go an ice cold beer,” Duo said as they pulled into the drive of the La Grange Ranch.

“I wouldn't say no to one myself,” Heero replied. “It's thirsty work buying mares.”

Locking the jeep, the pair walked inside where Duo fetched them both a beer. The sun was warm so they sat out on the back patio to enjoy their drink and discuss the mares a little more.

“I'd suggest breeding the skewbald to Scythe, what she lacks, he's got and should pass on to the foal. The roan I think would cross better with Wing. What do you think, Heero?”

Having given it a little thought, Heero agreed. gHow many mares are you planning on buying?h

“I originally thought around six or seven to start the stud off. I've already got the two in the back paddock and now these two as well. But that was only with having the one stallion. With Scythe still being used for the rodeos I didn't want to burn him out too much by having him serve a lot of mares. Now that Wing is going to join in the breeding program I guess we could purchase more as we can spread the stud services between the two.” Duo took a long pull from his beer. ”How many do you think would be a good number?”

“If we're going to be using the two stallions, I'd suggest maybe ten or twelve maximum, probably ten. Assuming that all the mares take and everything goes without a hitch during the pregnancies we should have ten foals on the ground. If we put the mares back in foal again and working on the same assumption, by the time the first crop of foals are yearlings, the next crop will be hitting the ground. Aside from breeding these foals we really need to look at all the other work involved. Those foals are going to need to be halter broken, then as they get older there's the training to take into consideration. It's going to be a lot of work and even more so if we continue to compete at the rodeos.”

“There's also the factor of space,” Duo said as his brow furrowed in thought. I know the ranch is quite large in size, but we're going to need more stables and yards to work with the youngsters.”

“Yes, we are. I have a suggestion.” Seeing Duo's eyebrow raise in question, Heero picked at the label on his beer bottle as he continued. “If we put all the mares in foal and assume we get a full drop I'd assess the foals once they're born. Do the basic ground work with them and once they turn one we should have a much better idea of what they will grow up like. Once they're yearlings, we can go over them again and select the ones we think will be worth putting the time and effort into to break and train as cow ponies. The ones that don't make the grade we can sell off as young stock. Likewise, if we get any nice fillies born we can keep them to improve the breeding stock, maybe put them to a couple of outside stallions and infuse new blood into our breeding program. What do you think?”

“That sounds quite logical, Heero. We could always put all the mares in foal for the first season and then maybe serve half for the second season and rotate again for the third season and so on, that way the mares will also get a break between pregnancies and we'll have enough to go on with breaking and educating what we have. I do agree with the selecting the best and selling the others off as youngsters though, we will have to do something like that otherwise we won't have the time to properly put in to those that deserve it.”

“I'd agree with that. Take each step as it comes, assess each foal as it's born and work from there.” Heero took a drink of his beer.

Duo was about to speak again when the ringing of the phone interrupted them. gI'll be right back,h he said and placing his beer on the small table, went back into the house to answer the phone.

Whilst Duo was inside, Heero gazed out at the landscape, his mind conjured up images of their future stud, the mares out in the paddocks, young stock in the various stages of training in the corrals by the house and people lining up to purchase their stock. His daydreaming was broken by the slam of the fly-screen door as Duo stepped back out onto the patio. Heero looked up to see a small smile and thoughtful look on his boyfriend's face.

“Good news?” he asked.

“Yeah,” Duo replied as he took his seat once more on the couch beside Heero and reached for his beer. After taking a swallow, he turned to face his partner. “I guess we should celebrate.”

“Celebrate?”

“Yeah, not just the future of the stud, but to the news I just got.”

“Duo? You're not making much sense here.”

“That was Treize on the phone,” Duo smiled as his eyes twinkled. “The rodeo board has met in regards to the cases against Relena and that psycho bitch.”

Heero couldn't help it, he chuckled. gPsycho bitch?h

Duo grinned. gYeah, what else would you call her?h

Heero shook his head.

“Anyway, the board has met and discussed everything in detail. They had the reports and findings from the court cases and after reading our statements and speaking with Charlie and a few of the other cow hands, they have decided not to press charges against the pair as they felt the legal system has already taken care of that side of things.”

“Ah. I see.” Heero felt a little deflated by that. He had hoped the two women would have gotten something by way of reprimand from the board.

“However, the board does recognize that this is a serious matter and has been busy tightening up security. The new security measures they've put in place means no one other than the cowboys, rodeo hands and those immediately involved with the rodeo itself are allowed anywhere near the chutes, broncs, bulls or any area behind the scenes.”

“That's a bit of a relief,” Heero replied.

“The board has also put a life ban on both Relena and Dorothy. Neither woman is permitted to attend any official rodeo at any venue for the rest of their lives. Should they try, they will be immediately removed by the rodeo security or local police where charges of trespass will be pressed.”

Heero felt as if a lead weight had been lifted from his shoulders. gThat's great news.h

“Yeah, I thought it was too,” Duo replied and slid along the couch until he was pressed against Heero's side. Lowering the beer to the table once more, he wrapped his arms around Heero and pulled him close. A soft kiss was exchanged. “We're finally free, Heero, free to be ourselves and enjoy each other.”

“Amen to that,” Heero replied and setting his own beer down he reciprocated Duo's hug and kiss.

The kiss soon deepened into something more and Heero felt himself flush from his head to his toes. Tongues met and entwined seeking out and exploiting sensitive spots inside each other's mouths. Duo's hands began to run up and down Heero's back, the dark haired cowboy moaning softly into the kiss.

“God, Duo. I've never felt the things I do with you with anyone before. What are you doing to me?” Heero groaned.

A soft smile played on Duo's lips as he brushed them gently over Heero's neck and jaw. gI'm doing nothing but love you, Heero, as you should be loved,h Duo whispered. Bringing one of his hands to the front, he ran it lightly across Heero's ribs and located a nipple underneath the cotton of Heero's shirt. He toyed with it for a moment, enjoying the soft sounds of pleasure coming from Heero's mouth. Not content to remain at Heero's chest, Duo let his hand wander lower, over Heero's six pack until he met with the waistband of Heero's jeans. Still kissing his partner, Duo scraped his nails across the denim clad crotch, warmed when he felt the rising bulge beneath.

“Ahhh, nice,” Heero moaned.

Duo's hand closed over the cloth covered erection, squeezing and massaging gently. Heero's hips refused to stay still, pushing upwards into the tormenting hand and seeking more friction. gYou want more?h Duo breathed as he broke their kiss.

“Please,” came the whimpered reply.

Locating the button, Duo flipped it open and eased the zipper down. His hand reached inside and found the flap to Heero's boxers. Easing his hand inside, Duo curled his fingers around the throbbing length and gently coaxed Heero's cock out of the cloth confines. Soft moans continued to fall from Heero's mouth, encouraging Duo to continue. With his movement now a lot less restricted, Duo began to stroke, firm, long strokes that drew Heero ever closer to his climax.

“More,” Heero panted, eyes half closed and swimming with pleasure.

With a wicked grin, Duo released Heero's cock, but before the other man could voice his disappointment, Duo lowered his upper body and let his tongue flick over the sensitive head.

“Ahhh!” Heero cried out as sensations shot through his groin and into the rest of his body.

Licking around the swollen crown, Duo paused to dip into the small slit and lap at the dew starting to leak from Heero's body. With a low moan of his own, he opened his mouth and engulfed the entire length.

“Shit!”

A soft snickering came from Duo as he set to work worshiping every delicious inch of Heero's penis. He sucked, hard and then soft, licked along the shaft and nibbled gently across the head. He laved the organ with the attention it deserved and needed, the soft cries coming from Heero spurring him on.

Unable to remain still, Heero's hands dropped to Duofs head, encouraging and holding the other cowboy in place. He'd only ever had one blow job from Duo and that had literally blown his mind. Now he was being gifted with a second one and Heero intended to enjoy it to the full.

Cheeks hollowed as Duo sucked away, the heated length in his mouth turning him on until he thought he would burst. He felt Heero's body responding, the hands on his head holding him in place and encouraging the act whilst Heero's hips pushed gently forward to bury himself deeper in Duo's hot mouth. The skills Duo was using on his boyfriend drove Heero to near madness. His groin ached, his balls felt swollen and heavy and the ever present pleasure built steadily until Heero knew he couldn't take any more.

“Duo, gonna cum,” he managed to pant out. The reply to his statement was Duo sucking harder on his length.

Moments later a guttural cry was torn from Heero's throat whilst his seed was torn from his body. Wave after wave of pleasure crashed over and through him, pulse after pulse of semen shot from his cock to be swallowed eagerly by Duo.

Heero collapsed back against the sofa completely spent. His eyes remained closed as he fought for breath and enjoyed the last ripples of his climax. His limbs felt like jelly, his bones as if they had liquefied and his entire nervous system had gone into meltdown.

Having swallowed all Heero had to offer, Duo carefully licked his partner clean before sitting upright to take in the sight of a boneless, sated and very happy Heero. He grinned to himself and reached between his own legs to squeeze the hardness there.  He leaned in and stole a kiss. gEnjoy that?h

“I don't think enjoy is quite the right word,” Heero breathed out. “More like blow my mind.”

Duo chuckled and partook of another kiss. Heero cracked open his eyes and happened to catch Duo's hand moving over his groin. With a soft smile, He managed to get his limbs to work and snuck forth a hand. Covering Duo's hand with his own, He whispered huskily, gLet me.h

A soft groan was his reply and Heero made short work of the fastenings to Duo's jeans. With the long haired cowboy's cock now wrapped securely in his hand, Heero began to pump.

“Oh, yeah, that's it, Heero,” Duo moaned as his eyes slipped shut and his body slumped into the couch.

Duo's cock felt hot and heavy in his hand, the soft skin a direct contrast to the rigidness of the organ. Heero swiped his thumb across the slit and spread the leaking precome, easing his hand's passage up and down the long shaft. As he stroked he wondered how Duo would feel inside him.

Although Heero was still a virgin when it came to the male sex thing, he'd had the foresight to do a little investigating. He knew how things worked in the heterosexual relationship and had a rough idea of how it would work in a same sex relationship, the research he'd done had confirmed his thoughts and given him a much deeper insight into the workings of gay sex.

Whilst he was keen and eager to learn and explore more with his new lover, Heero wasn't quite ready to go all the way with Duo just yet. He still had a few misgivings and several questions, all of which he knew he would find the answers to as their relationship deepened. He did however, make a mental note to talk to Duo about all this as he needed to know how Duo felt about the entire sex thing ? well, he already had a good idea that Duo would want to go all the way with him, but just who would top, and who would bottom? Would it be painful? Given the size of the organ currently in his hand, Heero was beginning to doubt that something that large would ever fit inside a male human body ? but there had to be something good about it all, if the act only brought pain then gay men wouldn't indulge in it, unless they were into the whole pain thing; and Heero definitely didn't like pain.

Panting harshly, Duo could feel his excitement rising. Hips began to push up into the torturous hand, soft moans escaped from kiss swollen lips and trembles passed through an aroused body. gAhh, good, so good,h Duo moaned.

Switching his attention back to his boyfriend, Heero tightened his grip a touch and sped up his strokes. His eyes watched Duo's face as it contorted with pleasure, that sweet mouth hung open as rasping breaths were drawn in and exhaled.

“Gonna...”

A smile lit Heero's face as he watched Duo reach his climax. Those violet eyes were scrunched closed, the skin flushed a healthy shade of pink and a soft, keening cry left those ruby lips as Duo's orgasm found him. His love was just stunning when he came.

With Duo's seed erupting over his hand, Heero slowed his stroking, knowing how sensitive Duo's cock would be. Gently he milked all he could before releasing Duo's shaft and sitting back to watch his lover enjoy the waves of his climax.

Slowly coming back to earth, Duo became aware of the cool feeling around his nether regions and opened sleepy eyes. Noting Heero watching him, he lazily licked his lips. gThat was amazing,h he managed to say.

“You were amazing,” Heero returned.

“Mmmm. I could stay here for a while.”

“Then why don't you?” Heero pulled his handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned both his hand and his lover up. Putting the handkerchief to the side, he tucked himself back inside his boxers and jeans, noting Duo doing the same. Picking up their beers from the coffee table, Heero handed Duo his and took a swallow from his own. Snuggling up close, he draped his free arm around Duo's shoulders and reached forward with his beer bottle to touch it to Duo's.

“Here's to a successful last rodeo with no interference,” Heero said.

“And here's to our future success at breeding cow ponies,” Duo returned.

They both took a swallow and reclined in each other's arms, content to sit and watch the world go past for a while.

* * *

“Is that the last of it?” asked Duo as Heero passed over an armful of gear.

“Yeah. There's only our clothing to bring out and put in and the horses to load and we're done.”

“Thank god for that,” Duo replied. Placing the last of the gear into the various holding spaces, Duo climbed back out of the small tack area in the side of the rig. Closing the door he turned to Heero. “Let's grab our gear, double check we have everything then load up the nags.”

“Okay.” Grasping Duo's hand in his own, Heero led them both back to the house. The two duffel bags sat on Duo's bed, both packed with the cowboy's clothes. Grabbing one each, the duffels were soon stowed inside the rig. Duo did a quick check over the interior, making sure they had enough provisions for themselves and all the other basics they would need for the weekend at the rodeo. Happy that all was present, the pair double checked their gear and the feeds for the horses.

“It all looks fine to me,” Duo said and closed the feed compartment.

“You want me to get the horses ready to load up whilst you lock up the house?”

“If you don't mind?”

“No problem.” Heero turned and walked towards the corrals where Scythe and Wing waited patiently, tied to the fence. Each stallion knew they were heading for a rodeo, they had both been watching their masters all morning as they sorted through gear, made up and packed feeds and then put it all into the rig that they traveled in.

“Okay, boys, time to go,” Heero said and approached Wing first. He untied the paint and led him to the gate. Passing through they approached Duo's rig, Wing hesitating a moment before walking up and inside behind his master. Heero secured the paint and stepped back out to fetch Scythe.

Duo locked the house up, double checking the windows before locking the door and then the security door. Whilst they didn't get much in the way of crime out here, it always paid to be careful. Pocketing his keys, he went back to the rig to give Heero a hand with the horses.

Scythe followed calmly behind Heero as he was led to the rig. He could smell the other stallion inside and gave a grunt of annoyance.

“Want me to load him?” Duo asked as he arrived back at the rig.

“If you want,” Heero replied and handed over the lead rope.

Taking the rope, Duo led his stallion inside the rig and tied him up. gYou behave yourself, Scythe,h Duo stated. gNo picking on Wing or you'll find yourself without any carrots tonight.h

The appy blew softly through his nostrils, a completely innocent look on his face. Duo knew that look, it didn't fool him for a minute. With a last pat to the black neck, Duo stepped out and gave Heero a hand to raise the tail gate and secure it.

“All set?” Heero asked.

“Yep.”

“Duo, I'm not trying to mother you or anything, but you did remember to put in the strapping so I can bind your ribs and strap your shoulder before you compete, didn't you?”

Duo gave a soft smile. gI know you're only concerned for me, Heero, and yes, I did pack the strapping.h

Heero's eyes softened. gLet's get going then.h He snuck forth and stole a kiss.

“Mmm, any more of that and I don't think we will be going anywhere,” Duo teased.

Rolling his eyes, Heero shook his head. gCome on, we need to hit the road. I've got a rodeo to attend and a title to win.h

“Who said you were going to win the title, Heero?” Duo returned as he climbed into the driver's seat of the rig.

“You have to admit, there's not much to stop me; nothing to worry about as regards the competition.”

“Is that so? Be prepared to eat your words, Yuy,” Duo shot back.

“Oh, I don't know about eating my words; I'd say the title is pretty much cut and dried.”

The friendly banter continued between the pair as they drove down the driveway and onto the road that would take them to the final  rodeo of the year and the title of Cowboy of the Year.
