Gone to Kansas Ch. 01

"Thank you, ma'am," I choked out, turning even more red, I could feel my cheeks burning!

I swear she was looking at me like a cat looks at its next meal. I'd never had a woman respond to me like this. Not that I was around many women besides my mom and my sisters, since I'd basically been in the woods at tie camp the last couple of years!

Mrs. Kroner smiled at me and said she'd go along with me and help me pick out my items. She stayed overly close to me and would brush against me quite often. I was having a hard time concentrating on what all I was supposed to get! As I got the last of the girl's thing's Mrs. Kroner said, "well, all this should make your wife happy Zebulon!"

"Oh, no, Mrs. Kroner, this is for my momma and sisters, I'm not married!"

"Oh, well that's nice to know, well, what I mean is, it's nice of you to be thinking of them!"

I helped her take the items to the counter where she rang up the sale. I was making small talk with Mrs. Kroner when a well-dressed man about forty or so years old came out of a back room behind the counter. He walked up to Mrs. Kroner and said, "Lisa, I'm going to count the drawer, do you need the cash register right now?"

His use of her first name made me wonder if this was his wife, which I soon found out to be the case. "James, this fine young man's name is Zebulon, and I must say I've taken quite a fancy to him!"

James looked up at me, he was not as tall as Mrs. Kroner, possibly only about 5' 5", he had a pudgy build, weak eyes and looked softer than most women. I couldn't help but wonder how he had managed to get Mrs. Kroner to marry him?

He smiled slightly at me and turned to Mrs. Kroner and said, "I can see why, he surely is a strapping young lad!"

I kinda went slack jawed at the discussion between these two about me, Mr. Kroner turned back to the register and began counting the money, obviously not distressed at all about his wife's comments. I couldn't help but think, "If my wife acted like that to a man in my presence, showing that kind of disrespect towards me, I'd pull her dress up and spank her ass right there on the spot!" It obviously didn't even phase Mr. Kroner. I couldn't help but think...... what a strange couple!

"Zeb, looks like you're in good hands here, I'll just wait outside, take your time though!" Mr. Danny said, with a smirk on his face! I told him I'd be out soon, and he walked out the door shaking his head and smiling to himself, I knew he would give me a hard time about it later!

Mrs. Kroner figured up my bill and told me it was twelve dollars all together, two more than what my sisters had given me. I went ahead and paid it out of my own money, telling myself that Heidi and Ellie owed me another three weeks of pies for that!

As I was picking up my items Mrs. Kroner eyed me for a bit, then said, "Zeb, if you want to come for supper tonight, I'd love to have you, we could get to know each other much better!"

I stammered a bit then said, "I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight ma'am, we've already made plans!" I lied, feeling a bit awkward of her invitation that was obviously only meant for me. I didn't know what she had in mind, but I just knew I'd feel awkward with her fawning all over me with her husband present.

"Well, if you make it back to town be sure to come and see me, I really enjoyed your company and would love to see you again!"

"I'll be sure to do that Mrs. Kroner, bye, bye," I said! Before I turned to leave, Mrs. Kroner grabbed ahold of me and stood on her tip toes, pressing her body into me then gave me a kiss! It was just a peck, but it definitely got my attention!

"I've really enjoyed our brief time together Zeb, if you change your mind about supper tonight just come on back," she said with a smile!

I got outside and spotted Mr. Danny sitting on a bench by the door, he was grinning at me and shaking his head in amusement! "Well Zeb, you really do have a way with women, I swear, all you have to do is walk in the room and it puts them in heat! I never seen anything like it, but I never was as good looking as you," he laughed!

I just stood there blushing with embarrassment. "Zeb don't be embarrassed, you obviously have a gift, learn to use it! Let's get on down the street and see if we can't get a beer and a whiskey before we find a place to eat. How's that sound?"

"Sounds like a good plan to me, I'll probably just get a beer though," I said.

We walked on down the street until we found a tavern to quench our thirst, it was called "Wharf Street Tavern." I'm guessing the owner didn't have much of an imagination since it had the same name as the street we were on!

We walked in the front door, and it was not a well-lit place, but it did have some interesting décor. There was a painting of a naked woman taking up most of the back wall of the place, she was sprawled out on a red blanket, and she had her legs spread lewdly open. Her lady parts were gaping open, and she was pinching one of her nipples and biting her lower lip, her other hand was touching her swollen lips of her pussy. My cock got hard just looking at the painting!

Mr. Danny took one look at the painting of the naked woman and said, "well that's probably what ole Mrs. Kroner is doing about now thinking of you!"

I sputtered around unable to come up with a reply and Mr. Danny just made his way up to the bar and ordered a beer and a shot of whiskey.

The bartender looked to me, "I'll just have a beer sir," I said.

There was a big mirror on the wall behind the bar and there were probably twenty or so men in the place besides us. There was a card game going towards the back with four men playing. I could hear them murmuring among each other oblivious to anyone else's presence. It looked like there was a pretty good amount of money being played for. The rest of the men in the place looked like dock workers and laborers. There were a few well to do men in the place but I got the feeling it was a little bit of a rough place for most of the reputable businessman in the town.

While I was taking it all in Mr. Danny began talking to me about women, I guess after what happened with Mrs. Kroner, he felt the need to give some advice.

"Zeb, I'm going to give you a bit of advice about the fairer sex. First of all, I know you're a gentleman and I know you treat ladies with respect. I've seen it in the way you treat your mother and sisters. However, I'm here to tell you that today was the perfect example of when to take charge of your woman. First off, I know you wouldn't get yourself mixed up with a woman that would be disrespectful to you like Mrs. Kroner was to her husband. She practically told him she wanted you in her bed. Best thing to do is walk away from a woman that tries to treat you that way.

Now you saw how her husband acted towards her, she obviously does this quite often and he just cowed to her, it's obvious she rules the roost. She's attracted to you because she can tell that you're a "real man" unlike her husband. In a case like this you could get by with playing along with her in front of him, because he just doesn't have any backbone. Whatever she want's, she is used to getting, regardless of his wishes. Now I'm not telling you it's right to mess around with a married woman, because it's not, but she's obviously in need of a real man!

Now if you're ever around a woman that acts that way towards you and she has a real man for a husband, you better just get on outta there, cause there's no tellin who he'll take her bad behavior out on. Could be you, her, or the both of ya, best just get shut of the situation!

What you saw today is a good example on female behavior. They want sex almost as much as you do, the only difference is women have all of these social rules they feel they have to follow, which makes them seem unobtainable. Mrs. Kroner was the exception to the rule, she didn't care about the rules of society. She saw something she wanted, and she was going to do her best to get it, most women don't act that way though, even if they want to!"

I was mulling over what Mr. Danny had said, and asked, "how did a poor excuse for a man like that ever get a woman like her to marry him?

"Money," was Mr. Danny's reply!

Before I could reply, I heard a loud bang, startling me! It came from the side of the room where the men were playing cards. I could see someone had flipped the table over, causing the loud noise. There were cards, chips and money strewn out all over the floor. Two of the men were facing off with each other and the other two were backing away from the table.

The two men facing each other were cussing up a blue streak, it appeared as if one of them felt the other had cheated them at cards! About that time, they came together and started to throw punches at each other. Both men were about 5' 9" or so and were in their early thirties. One of the men was lean and muscular and the other was a little thicker but not fat.

The heavier of the two grabbed a hold of the skinny one and took him to the ground. It looked like the skinny one struck his head on the floor and was slightly dazed. The heavier man took advantage of the dazed man and straddled him, he pummeled his face with his fists until it was no longer recognizable.

The skinnier man hadn't moved for a bit, and I wasn't sure if he was even alive at this point. The heavier man stood up over the beaten man and spit on him, then he leaned down and began picking up all the money that was on the floor and walked out. The other two men that had been playing cards went to check on the man still lying unmoving on the floor. I saw the one tell the other they best fetch a doctor.

I heard Mr. Danny place his empty beer glass on the bar and say it was time we headed on out for supper. I finished off my beer and we walked on out the door.

"Do you think that man will make it Mr. Danny?"

"Hard to say Zeb, he looked pretty bad, and he wasn't moving at all! Let that be another lesson for ya! Be careful who you get involved with, be it a game, business, or love!"

We found a place to eat the next street over and had a good meal. While we were eating Mr. Danny explained that we would get back home on Tuesday afternoon if all went well. He went on to say that he wanted my help on Wednesday to unload the wagon, and since it would already be the middle of the week to just help out at the store the rest of the week instead of going back out to tie camp. I was happy to hear that and looked forward to the easier life at the store.

After supper Mr. Danny and I took a different route back to the livery stable where we were going to bed down for the night. On the way we passed another tavern that looked a little higher class than the last one.

"Want to get another drink before we turn in for the night Zeb?"

"That sounds good to me, I might even try a shot of that whiskey," I said!

We went on in and it definitely was nicer place with better lighting and what appeared to be a little better class of customers than the last place. There was a man playing the piano and there were probably around 30 people in the place. We bellied up to the bar and ordered our drinks.

After our second round of drinks, I could feel the effects of the alcohol, I was slightly dizzy and warm feeling. Mr. Danny took another drink and turned to me. "Zeb, here's another bit of information for ya. That one shot of whiskey you have there will have the same effect on you as a whole glass of beer will. The whiskey is a lot more powerful, so it doesn't take as much to get you drunk. Keep that in mind when you're drinking, especially when you're with strangers!"

"Yes Sir, I'll keep it in mind, I sure am beginning to feel it!" I finished off my beer and Mr. Danny asked if I needed another. "No sir, I believe I'm ready to turn in for the night. Think I'll head on back and get some shut eye."

"Ok Zeb, I'm going to sit here and have a couple more, then I'll be ready to turn in."

"Take your time," I said as I got up to leave.

I walked back to the livery, once I got there, I realized that the back side of the livery barn was actually right behind Kroner's Department store. I could see lights on in the living area above the store. Most business owners of the day had their living quarters right above their business.

I went on into the livery and opened up the feed room where we were going to sleep and set up our bed rolls for the night. When I finished, I had this thought in my head, "if I go up in the loft, I wonder if I could see into Mrs. Kroner's window?"

There was no one else but the hostler staying in the livery barn and his sleeping quarters were on the other end of the barn. I quietly made my way up the ladder into the loft. The floors in the barn were quite a bit higher than that of the department store, so when I looked out the upstairs window of the livery barn the windows of Kroners were at a lower level than I was, which allowed me to see in really well.

It was probably around eight in the evening at this point, and I was looking into a room that appeared to be the main sitting room. On the right side of the room was a sofa, a few chairs and a coffee table. On the left side of the room there was a wood stove, there was also a bathtub. It seemed strange to me to have a bathtub in the sitting room!

About that time, I saw Mr. Kroner walk into the room wearing what appeared to be a red robe with a black belt and black trim. He also appeared to be wearing red slippers of some sort. Upon closer look it appeared he had no other clothes on under the robe, things were getting stranger by the minute.

He grabbed a couple of buckets of water that had been heating on top of the stove and poured it into the tub along with what I imagined was some unheated water for a bath. After he filled the tub, he threw something into the water that made the water bubble up after he stirred it around.

I was beginning to get the idea that there was a chance I'd get to see Mrs. Kroner bathe, my breathing quickened, and my heart began pounding in my chest at the thought of it! My cock was straining the confines of my britches!

Mr. Kroner went over to a cabinet and took down what appeared to be a bottle of brandy or possibly whiskey and poured himself a drink. He then began to load up a pipe with some tobacco, lit it and walked over to the sofa and had a seat. A couple of minutes passed, and I caught some movement at the door at the far end of the room, it was Mrs. Kroner, what I saw next took my breath. She was wearing a long lace gown that was completely see through, I could see her magnificent, heavy breasts that had a slight sag from their weight, they were capped with large nipples that appeared to stick out over a half inch, they were about as thick as my pinky finger and looked hard enough to cut glass!

Lisa walked past her husband and stood facing the window and let her gown drop to the floor, it was a breathtaking sight, one I will never forget as long as I live! She had long blonde hair that was no longer put up, it was flowing down to the middle of her back. I could see a patch of hair covering her lady parts and when she turned, I saw her magnificent ass, she was quite the sight!

She turned to a nearby stand and picked up a sponge and what appeared to be a fairly large candle, but I wasn't sure about that. a candle didn't make sense, but I soon forgot about that. She slipped into the tub which was facing the window and with my higher elevation I could see right into the tub.

Once she got in the tub, I saw Mr. Kroner get up, take a sip of his drink and put his pipe down, he walked over and leaned down to kiss Lisa, she turned her cheek to him but didn't give him much attention. That's when he opened his robe up and I could see his cock at the same level as Lisa's face. It looked small, probably only four inches long hard. She turned to him and gave his cock a couple of playful pats with her hand, then it looked like she brushed him off and told him to sit over on the sofa. Of course, I couldn't hear them but after a few words exchanged between the two of them he looked sort of like a scolded schoolboy and went over to the sofa, not bothering to put his cock away. Things really were starting to get strange!

Lisa began bathing with the sponge, and she was not missing anything, she ran that sponge over every square inch of her body. When she finished with her cleaning, I could see her close her eyes and she began tracing her fingers over her face and neck, slowly. Her hands made their way down her upper chest, then went lower and lifted each of her heavy breasts several times, then traveled down to her navel and below the water line that covered what I imagined to be the sweetest pussy ever!

I took my cock from my pants and was slowly stroking it while watching Lisa caress her own body. I would get close to cuming but held off, I wanted it to last! I noticed some quick movements where Mr. Kroner was sitting and saw that he also had his cock in his hand stroking it.

I couldn't help but wonder why he wasn't actually using it on Lisa but figured he had tried, and she refused him earlier, that must have been what the discussion was about at the beginning.

My eyes and thoughts went back to Lisa, she had one hand rubbing her pussy and possibly dipping into it with her fingers and the other hand was caressing her large breasts! Unfortunately, her pussy was under water so I couldn't see it, but it was obvious by her hand placement and movement what she was up to!

Lisa lifted her legs up from the tub and hooked them over the sides, I could see her hand reach for what had looked like a candle, but wasn't sure, whatever it was it was noticeably larger than Mr. Kroner's cock!

She grabbed the object in one hand and slid it down to her pussy. I could only guess by her movements she was pleasuring herself with it. Her other hand was still playing with her breasts and occasionally pinching those big, thick nipples!

Lisa began to buck her ass off the bottom of the tub, raising herself into the air, I could occasionally catch glimpse of her pussy and the thrusting candle or whatever it was when she lifted up, she was obviously working herself into a frenzy!

I couldn't hold back anymore and my cock erupted spunk all over the hay, I slowly continued to stroke my cock even after I came. Lisa was still going strong, working that pussy like she was possessed! I didn't realize a women could get as horny as a man, but after seeing Lisa I knew that they could!

Lisa removed her hand from her breast, and she waved her husband over to her, she pointed to the floor, and he moved to that spot, still stroking his own cock. Lisa said a few more things, then put her hand back to her breasts and began tugging on one of her nipples, hard!

The candle was moving rapidly, in and out of her cunt, then she threw her head back and her mouth gaped open in pleasure. I'm guessing this triggered Mr. Kroner and he shot cum out onto the floor at the base of the tub while watching her.

Lisa appeared to have sated herself at this point and handed him the sponge, pointed at the floor where the cum landed and he obediently cleaned up his mess. Then he went to retrieve a towel for Lisa, handing it to her as she stood in the tub to dry off. Once dry she slipped on her lace gown, and they left the sitting room. I put my cock away and went down to get some sleep, it had been an exciting day, and I was worn out! Tomorrow we'd be heading for home bright and early. When I got out of the loft Mr. Danny wasn't back yet, I laid down on my bedroll and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning Mr. Danny and I got up and ate a quick breakfast of biscuits and preserves and some left-over pork belly we brought along. Then we got our gear and horses and went back to Schillers in hopes that our supplies were loaded up and ready. We walked in and were told to go on around back and we could hook up and head out, that they had just finished loading our stuff. We made quick work of that and were headed home by about eight that morning.
