I knew what was being sold of course, but until that moment I'd never really had a chance to see one. I was all alone and they only cost fifty cents. Blushing a little, I pulled a couple of quarters that Thad had given me out of my pocket and dropped them into the slot and turned the dial. When a small cardboard package slid out of the machine, I stuffed it into my jeans and walked quickly back to the truck.
Ten miles down the road, Thad saw me smiling and pushed a finger into my ribs. "Okay, what are you up to now?"
"Not much," I said, tickling him back. Then I pulled the package out of my pocket and held it up, giving him my most dumb-innocent look. "The filling station man really looked funny when I asked him what these things were for."
Thad's eyes were wide. "You've got to be kidding."
"Of course I am, silly. But all the same, I've never seen one." I studied the small print on the foil wrapper. "How do you get it on?"
Thad took it out of my hand, read the label himself and handed it back.
"I've got some better than this," he said. "But since you told me your period was just a few days ago, I haven't worried about it."
Just holding the rubber in my hand made me tingle. I suddenly had the desire to put one over Thad's pretty cock all by myself-slip it over the head and pull it tight. But I was still just guessing. I really didn't know the first thing about how to go about it.
"Can I put one on you?"
"Now?" he asked, looking somewhat amused.
"You could pull off somewhere and then… show me."
Thad laughed and pulled me against him with one arm. "Okay, you little imp, okay." He shook his head, still smiling. "You're like having a kid sister."
I put my fingers on the hot lump at his crotch. "But you're not supposed to fuck kid sisters."
"You've heard of incest, haven't you?"
Before we'd gone ten miles, Thad found a side road that wound along beside the banks of a dry creek before ending in a grove of cottonwoods. We found a soft place behind one of them where the wild grass was thick.
"Well," I said, giving Thad's jeans a tug, "take them off."
As he undressed, I could see that he was half hard already, so I made him sit down while I dug the thing I'd bought out of my pocket again.
My love just sat there watching with a smile while I fumbled the condom out of its wrapping and tried to figure out how to make it go on.
"Shelly," he said finally, "just put it on the tip of my cock and roll it down."
He was super hard now and when I did what he told me, the rubber sheath unrolled perfectly until his whole shaft was covered by the thin latex.
My hand was slick with the lubricant they had coated it with and I started moving my fingers over the thinly covered penis.
"That'll get you a rubber full of sperm," Thad said, moving with my caresses.
"Oh let me!" I said, excited by the thought of seeing the thin prophylactic pumped full of Thad's come.
"But it's really your turn." He touched my face with his hand.
"When I'm through making you come, you can do something nice to me, okay?" I was awfully excited, but I had to watch Thad's penis in action. He crossed his arms and nodded while the breeze blew a lock of blond hair across his eyes.
The slick stuff let my fingers glide easily over every curve and bump of my man's big cock and I could feel Thad's body heat against my palm.
"Is this the way boys… do it to themselves?" I asked.
He seemed to have trouble talking. "That… sure is one way."
Sometimes I moved the outer skin itself over the more rigid body of his organ and then I'd just let my fingers slip over the greased rubber of the condom. Thad seemed to like everything I did, especially when I concentrated on the flared glans, making a tight little circle with my fingers and moving as fast as I could. In just a couple of minutes the muscles in his legs trembled and tensed and he fell back in the grass.
I put my face close, watching the tip while I thumped my hand up and down. All of a sudden the end of the rubber swelled out with hot seed and I heard Thad ripping grass out of the ground with his hands. I kept rubbing him until he groaned for me to stop.
"Hey, that was neat," I said. "And it didn't take long either."
Thad pulled me down on him and kissed me until I thought my heart would jump through my chest. Then he rolled me over and unzipped my jeans inch by inch, kissing down toward my cunny as he went. I'd closed my eyes and felt him begin to slip my pants off when there was the sound of another car coming down the road.
"Stay out of sight," he told me as he pulled on his jeans. "It looks like a cop."
I waited there in the tall grass, so afraid that I didn't even dare pull my jeans back on. I heard two voices, Thad's and another man's.
Then there was the sound of a car leaving and after a long minute or two, Thad came back.
"It was a cop all right," he said. "Told me he was just checking this place out, but we'd better not hang around. I didn't tell him I had you with me and he might just have a description." Thad shook his head and smiled grimly. "If he'd wanted to look in that duffel bag of yours I'd have been in jail for sure."
While Thad drove, I stayed down on the floorboard until we'd crossed into the next county. He stopped in a small town for a pint of bourbon to calm his nerves. Then we went on, hoping to make Denver before night.
"Poor baby," he said, hugging me close, "you must really be wired by now with all those interruptions just when I'm getting you hot."
I kissed his chin and slipped my hand under his shirt so I could touch his hard belly. "It's okay. Tonight we'll have a soft bed and plenty of time." Thad had promised that we'd get a motel in Denver so we could relax and clean up.
As the truck droned westward, I felt everything catching up with me.
The hassles at the farm, getting away from Ben Gordon-and then Jason, had drained me emotionally, not to mention my last minute escape from my stepfather. As the tiredness crept over me I thought of how nice it was to have a man who would take care of me and keep me from danger. It was true, I felt awfully unsophisticated when Thad talked of certain things he'd done in big cities. But I knew he liked me more than just a little. With my head on his lap and smelling the warm muskiness of his body, I went to sleep.
