Seth stood and turned his back to the three family members. He began walking toward the office. Tasha was smiling when she said, “Seth is something the matter? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?” Granny cackled when Tasha said that.
Seth looked over his shoulder to see the two women laughing and Gramps grinning at him. He said, “I need to get dressed. I’ll see you all back at the cabin.”
This evening the four people visited for a short time before they turned in for a nights rest. All were tired form their day’s work except for Gramps and he was tired from his injuries.
The next week went much as had the few days before. The only exception was Seth going to town trying to find work. He put in several applications in Telluride then moved on to Silverton and Ouray looking for work also. Everyone told him the same thing. They were not hiring. Seth even put a notice on a couple of bulletin boards but knew that was a shot in the dark because he had no phone for them to call and his cell didn’t work out at the mine.
To his surprise his guests continued working around the mine while he was out looking for work. At first he thought they were just making conversation when they would ask him what he wanted to do next around the place. It only took a couple of days before he realized they were working while he was in town. He asked them about it and was told in no uncertain terms they would continue working. He was feeding them and provided a place to sleep. They would repay his kindness in any way they could.
To Seth’s discomfort Tasha continued to tease him and display her body to him in the stream and at night when they went to sleep. One afternoon after Seth returned from Telluride Gramps asked him to sit with him. He said, “I have seen how you look at Tasha. She looks at you in the same way. You want her. We have all seen your cock rise for her.”
Seth felt his face flush. He didn’t know what to say for a moment. Finally he found his voice and said, “I’m sorry. Tasha is a very beautiful woman and she strips right in front of me. I can’t help it. I get hard when I see her. I have never done anything inappropriate to her. I would never do that.”
“This I know. Now I need to know what your intentions are for my Granddaughter. I know you want her. I have seen you make her pussy weep for you. What are you going to do about it?”
Seth shook his head and bit his lower lip. He said, “I, uh. I don’t know what you mean. I’ve been polite. I care for her. She’s very nice but I can’t get involved with her. I won’t. I have nothing to offer her. Hell, I don’t even have a job. I’m not sure I can even support myself here.”
Gramps looked at Seth a moment then he looked around. He knew that Seth owned the mine and 640 acres. He said, “You have much. You have a strong body. You have honor. You are kind. You are not afraid to work. You have people who care for you and who you care for. You own a large plot of ground. You are growing food in your garden. You have game on your land and fish in your stream. You have much that you need. I am sure what else you need you will find a way to get. I ask again what do you intend for my granddaughter? Is she to be just your toy or is she to be more?”
