SUMMARY: An AU (of sorts) fic where Lou is the local schoolteacher and daughter to Sam and Emma. Despite these altered circumstances, there is still only 1 rider who captures her heart.

TEACHER

Louise Shannon Cain sat by her window looking down at the row of boys standing by the corral.  Her mother
and father had agreed to use their homestead for the new Pony Express way station.  Louise sighed as placed
her brush on her desk and turned to the mirror to pull her hair up in a bun.

When every hair was in place, Lou turned back to the window.  There were six boys, almost men, Lou
thought, standing by the corral fence listening to Teaspoon Hunter, a good friend of the Cain family.
Lou’s eyes wandered over the boys when her eyes stopped on the last one.  He was tall with broad
shoulders.  From under his hat Lou could see wisps of blond hair.  When he looked up, Lou saw his blue eyes
before stepping back into the shadows of the room.

“Louise Shannon Cain!”  Sam Cain called at his daughter for the third time.

Lou looked at her father.  “Sorry, daddy.  My mind was gone again.”

Sam smiled at his daughter.  She was always daydreaming.  “You’re gonna be late for school.”  Sam
said.

“Yes, don’t want to keep the kids waiting,” Lou smiled.

“Do you want me to ride into town with you?”  Sam asked.

“Sure, but why aren’t you there now?”  Lou asked her father as she grabbed her jacket, a few books and
followed her dad out of the room.

“I figured Marshallin’ could wait.  I wanted to escort my beautiful daughter into town.”  Sam said.

“Yeah, right!  You’re just protecting me from those boys outside.”  Lou said as they entered the kitchen.

“That too.”  Sam said.

“You two have a good day.”  Emma, Lou’s mother, said as she handed Lou her lunch.

“You too, mom,”  Lou placed a kiss on her mother’s cheek, then waited for her father to give her mother a
kiss also.  “I’ll be home in time to do chores and help with supper tonight.”  Lou said as she followed
Sam out the back door.

When in the barn, Sam and Lou saddled their horses in record time and walked them out of the barn.  Lou
filled her saddle bags with the books, then mounted gracefully onto the horse, wearing a skirt.  Then Sam
and Lou took off to town ridding at full speed.  Lou made sure she got more look at the blond before
focusing on the trail ahead of her.  Yes, she definitely wanted to meet the man.

Teaspoon saw the look that the boys had on their faces after Lou and Sam left.  “That, my boys, is how you
get into a saddle.”  Teaspoon smiled.

“Who was that?”  The blond at the end of the row asked.

“She is the school teacher in Sweetwater and the Cain’s only daughter.”  Teaspoon explained.

*****

As Lou walked into the bunkhouse that night, Teaspoon stood followed by the others.  He took the roast that
Lou was carrying and put it on the table, then took the other things for dinner that Emma was holding and
did the same.

Kid stared at the woman.  She was now wearing a brown pair of pants that fit her curves nicely.  Lou was
also wearing a work-worn shirt.  Though the shirt was big, Kid could see the slight swell of her breast.

“Boys, this is Louise Cain.  She’s the local school teacher.”  Teaspoon said introducing Lou to the boys.

Then he went down the line and told Lou the names of each of the boys.  Noah was black, Jimmy looked like a
gun fighter, Cody was out going, Ike was shy and talked with his hands, Buck was part Indian, and Kid was the one that
had captured her eye. When everyone was seated, Teaspoon said grace.

Lou was on the end of the table next to Ike and across from Kid.  Lou could feel Kid’s gaze on her every once
and a while.  When she stood up her shirt would move just the right way and Kid could almost feel the bulge
in his pants get harder.

“Lou, you know that you still have chores to do tomorrow.  Just because the boys are here don’t mean
that you get out of them.”  Sam said that night at supper so both the boys and Lou knew that she must do
her share of the chores.

“I know, dad.  Besides, I wouldn’t want to give them up.  But, I still get to help break the horses,” Lou
answered.

“No, absolutely not!”  Sam interfered.

“Why not?”  Lou asked.

“With you being the school teacher, we can’t have you going and hurting yourself.  Besides, the boys are
here now,” Sam said.

“Sam, you know she’s going to do it even if you tell her no,” Emma said.

“She’s got a point there, Marshall.”  Teaspoon decided that he should put his two cents in.

Sam just let the matter drop.  Right now was not the time to argue in front of the boys.  And they all
seemed to be enjoying the little tiff - all but one.

That was the first time she had spoken and it was like music to Kid’s ears.  And the woman didn’t mind hard
work.  He was really beginning to like her.  Kid then started to chastise himself.  This was the Marshall’s
daughter.  There was no way he was going to be able to get near her.  He needed to quit having his lustful
thoughts.  And fast!

That night Kid had sweet dreams of making love to Louise.  He could almost feel himself embedded in her
wet heat.  He could hear her screaming his name as he sank deeper into her. 

The next thing Kid felt was the sun greeting him for a new day.  He knew that as long as he was around Louise, it was going to be torture.

******

Over the weeks Lou got to know each of the boys as she worked side-by-side with them.  Everything was going
great, except one thing.  Kid still had not tried to come forth with his feelings for her.  She could feel
his eyes on her almost all of the time.  But for some reason, she wanted more than just his stares on her.

Lou was pulling clothes off the line when she heard her mother yell, “Rider Comin’!”  Jimmy came out of
the bunkhouse, jumped onto his horse and went to Kid for the hand off.

“Ride safe, Jimmy!”  Lou yelled.  Jimmy waved to her then rode westward.  Lou threw the shirt that she had
just taken off the line into the basket and went to the barn to find Kid.  He was unsaddling Katy when she
walked in.

“Hey, Kid, if you’re not too tired, do you want to go for a ride?”  Lou asked.

Kid turned to Lou.  “Sure, let me get Katy bedded down.”

“Well, I have to finish with the clothes real quick,” Lou said.

“I’ll saddle Lightening for ya,” Kid answered.

“Thanks, I’ll be back in a bit.”  Lou left the barn with Kid’s eyes staring at her.

Within ten minutes they were leaving the yard.  On the way to the swimming hole they talked about almost
everything.  When they reached the swimming hole they unsaddled the horses and led them to the water close
by.  Lou sat down by a fallen log and Kid followed suit.

“So, why don’t a girl like you have a guy?”  Kid asked casually.

Lou laughed a little bit.  Kid loved her laugh.  It was perfect.  “Are you kidding’”  I’m the town
Marshall’s daughter.  Two guys did come to call on me once.  Both times dad sat in the living room with his
shotgun in his lap while we were on the porch. Besides, I grew up with most of the boys in
Sweetwater,” Lou explained.

“So, what would you do if I tried to kiss you?”  Kid asked.  He didn’t let her answer.  Kid placed his hand
on the back of Lou’s neck and pulled her to him. Slowly he rubbed his lips lightly over his.  Lou let
her defenses fall and kissed him back.  He was experienced, she could tell, but he was not.  Soon the
kiss became intense.  Lou liked it and started to feel something warm in her stomach.

Kid’s hand moved to cup her breast.  When Lou didn’t protest he began to knead it.  Lou moaned telling Kid
that she liked the feel of his hand on her.  Then reality set in.  Lou knew that she should not be doing
this, no matter how good it felt.  She pulled away and noticed that Kid’s breath was as ragged as hers.

“Kid, we…I….we just can’t”  Lou stammered out.

Kid sighed, though not in frustration.  “I know. Then…just… will you go to the dance with me tomorrow
night?”  Kid asked.

“I’d be happy to.  You’d better make sure it is okay with my dad first,” Lou said.  Kid nodded in
agreement.  He had the urge to kiss her again.  After he had tasted her once he knew that he wanted her
again, in more ways than just kissing.  After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, they saddled the
horses and rode back to the station.


********
The next night, Lou sat in her room looking at the dress that she would be putting on in a few minutes. There was a light knock on the door and she told the visitor that she could enter.

“Everything all right, dear?”  Emma asked.

Lou nodded.  “I can’t believe that dad is letting me do this.  Usually it is him or Teaspoon who escorts me
to the dances.”  Lou took a breath.  “On top of that, I’m not use to wearing dresses.  Sure, I’m used to
skirts because it is a requirement to teach.  But a full scale dress?”

Lou looked flushed.  Emma smiled at her daughter. ‘Ah, to be young and in love.’ Emma thought.  “Okay,
let’s get you into this dress.  I promise it won’t be that bad.  WE don’t want to keep Kid waiting now,
do we?”  Emma asked.  Lou smiled and let her mom help her into the dress.

As Lou descended down the stairs all conversation stopped.  Everyone in the room turned to her.  Kid
went over to Lou. “Is something wrong?”  Lou asked softly.

“No, you just look beautiful,” Kid answered and made her blush.

She was wearing a light blue dressed that showed only a hint of cleavage.  The sleeves were short and hung
off of her shoulders.  Her hair was in a tight bun with curly-q’s hanging down from it.

When they entered the entered the town hall many people were surprised to see the Marshall’s daughter
on the arm of one of the Express riders.  Lou didn’t let the stares bother her that night.  She was able to
dance with all of the riders, her father, and Teaspoon.  When she was in Kid’s arms, Lou didn’t
notice the rest of the world.  When he held her tight for a slow dance, Lou could fell Kid’s arousal.

“Let’s get some air,” Kid whispered huskily into her ear when the some was over.  Lou nodded and followed
him outside.

As soon as they were sure no one was around, Kid kissed her deeply.  He forced her mouth open with his hand on her chin.
When she opened it, Kid slipped his tongue inside. Lou pulled away.  “It’s okay, just try it,” Kid said.

“Kid, I’m not…”  Lou started.

“I know you’re not experienced.  If you don’t like it, we won’t do it any more,”  Kid promised.  No matter
how bad we wanted to do anything to Lou, he was not going to do it with out her permission.

Once again in a heated kiss, Kid slipped his tongue into her mouth.  Lou felt fire in her veins.  She had
never felt this way before.  Lou had to put her arms around Kid’s neck.  Her knees were week and she was
afraid that she might fall.  One kiss led to another and another.  Finally, Kid pulled away.  “We should
get back,” he said breathlessly. Lou nodded and placed a light kiss on his lips before they straightened their appearance and headed back into the town hall.

***********

Over the next few months, Lou and Kid would sneak off to talk and make-out. They never got further than hot, heated kisses and Kid touching Lou’s breast on the outside of her clothing. When he was home, Kid would take Lou at on picnics and they even ate supper together a few times in town. Sometimes they would eat in the house, but away from the others. One night, after Lou made the schedule for the next couple of weeks, she went to have a talk with her mother. They were in the living room with cups of tea. While they were drinking, Lou thought about how she was going to ask her mother.

"Mom, If I asked you a question freely, and you would give me a truthful answer, right?" Lou asked.

"Of course! We can talk about anything. What is it that you want to ask me?" Emma asked placing her cup on the coffee table. Lou decided to just come out with it.

"Does sex hurt?" What is it really like?" There was a pause as Emma pursed her lips for a second to think.

"Yes, it does hurt at first but after a while it becomes enjoyable."

"I thought only whores were the ones who enjoy it." Lou said bluntly.

"Sex is what they enjoy. When you make love with someone you really, truly, love, then it is enjoyable." Emma took a breath.

"Why such a new curiosity? You don’t even have a beau."

"I don’t know. I kinda think of Kid as my beau." Lou answered.

"I would assume he is your beau also. I don’t think dad would agree, though." Emma said.

"Just promise me that you would be careful, both of you. You know what could happen."

"Do you regret marrying dad because you were pregnant with me?", Lou asked.

"Not a day. And that is the truth. We were engaged to be married anyway. It is…well, back in my time, growing up in the west, you just started living with the person you intended to marry. That is what happened between your father and me. We were living together and one night, when we knew we should have quit, we didn’t. And neither of us regret it." Emma answered. Lou stood up and put her cup down on the tray.

"Night, mom." She kissed her mother’s check and headed for bed.

"Night, dear." Emma returned.

*****

Later that week, Sam spoke up during supper. "Who’s got a ride toward Denver tomorrow?"

"I do." Kid spoke up.

"Louise will be going to visit her cousin before school starts again. I need you someone to escort her all the way. Will you do it?" Sam asked. He could not believe that Sam was letting him go to Denver with his daughter. Especially when he knew that they were getting real close.

"Sure." Kid answered, hoping he did not sound that excited about it.

*****

The ride to Denver was uneventful. Since Lou was not to see her cousin until the following day, she and Kid decided to have a nice dinner that night. After Lou soaked in the tub for about an hour, she put on her black skirt and violet blouse. Then she pulled her hair just off of her face. Kid always told her how much he liked it down. Promptly at seven, there was knock on her door. When Lou answered it, Kid was staring at her. He was wearing a clean pair of black pants and crisp white shirt. His hair was starting to curl as it finished drying. He handed her a bouquet of wild flowers and offered his arm to her.

At supper they sat staring at each other. Lou was lost in Kid’s deep blue eyes. She felt like she could see all the way to his soul. She was also feeling a strange sensation at the apex of her thighs. She knew that she wanted Kid tonight. "Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?" Kid asked, bringing Lou out of her thoughts and making her blush.

"I don’t mind being reminded." Lou answered shyly. After dinner, they walked under the stars and then Kid escorted Lou back to her hotel room. Lou gave Kid her best ‘come hither’ look and motioned him to follow her into the room. Kid followed and kicked the door closed behind him with his foot. Lou locked the door and wrapped her arms around Kid’s neck. "I have a confession to make." She said placing light kisses down Kid’s face and neck. "I made out the list and made sure you were the one to take the ride to Lone Tree. I knew dad would make someone come with me out here." Kid’s voice was husky when he replied.

"That is why you didn’t fight with your dad when he said that someone had to go with you."

"Well, there’s one other thing." Lou pressed her lips against Kid’s. She was the one to push her tongue into his mouth. She moved her tongue daringly over the familiar form of Kid’s mouth. He responded by doing the same and his arousal was getting harder by the second. Lou pulled away. "I’ll be back." She gave him a sweet smile then disappeared into the bathroom.

When she returned, Lou was wearing a very thin nightgown that showed all of her curves. Kid moved closer to her, and then stopped. She was the one that was new at this. If at any time she told him to stop, he would, even if it killed him. He was surprised when Lou threw herself into his arms and started kissing him.

He made his way to the big king size bed. Gently he laid Lou on the bed and maneuvered her nightgown to so it rested just above her waist. He let his hands caress her thighs. She loved the feel of his work worn hands on her smooth body. He broke the kiss and removed the nightgown altogether. Her eyes never left his face as he looked over her body. He smiled and all of her fears went out the window. "Perfect." Kid said. He placed one hand on Lou’s breast. He kneaded it in his palm. His fingertips played with her hardening nipple. Soon his mouth replaced his hand as he grazed her nipples with his teeth. When he took the whole breast into his mouth, Lou arched up against him and moaned. "You like that?" Kid asked. All Lou could do was nod her head. "You’ll like this too." He then captured her other breast with his mouth. Lou reached down and tried to open up Kid’s pants.

"No fair, Kid. I get to see you too." Lou said and she helped him undress. She stared down at his large arousal and her eyes almost popped out of her head. He lifted her chin she could look him in the eye.

"It’s okay. We’re meant to fit together." Kid said. He lay her back down on the bed while he showered her with kisses and started to stroke her heat. At first Lou fought it, but Kid’s soothing words helped. The Kid found her button and she arched up against him for more. He moved two fingers inside of her. He could feel her tight walls surrounding them. When he removed his fingers, Lou’s juices started to flow. He knew that she was ready for him. Slowly he slid into her. She felt as though she was being torn apart. She moved under his weight, so he braced himself on his elbows. "It’s okay. The pain will go away." Kid said. Lou shut her eyes tight against the pain. Finally she opened them to see Kid’s concerned blue ones looking down on her.

"I’m okay now." Lou said.

"Wrap your legs around my waist." Kid said huskily. She did as she was told and felt a surge of pleasure run through her. Kid could feel the tight walls around his arousal. It felt so good to have her squeeze him the way she was now. Slowly Kid moved in and out of her. He couldn’t keep the slow pace for long when she started meeting his thrust with some of her own. Kid wanted to make sure she got the most out of this. He rubbed her button once again and he could hear her calling his name. "Lou, I’m gonna come. I want you to come with me." he said, looking at Lou. "You ready?" Before Lou could finish nodding, Kid poured his hot seed into her body. She thought it was going all the way up into her stomach. He fell on her and buried his face into her hair. When he was able to breathe again, he moved to his side pulling Lou with him. They were still joined and Kid did not want to leave just yet. Kid looked at Lou. "Are you okay, baby? I hope I didn’t hurt you too much." Kid said. Lou blinked away her tears.

"I’m fine it only hurt for a little bit. I just didn’t know it would be like that." Lou said.

“It gets better with practice," Kid said earnestly, looking fondly into her eyes.

"We'll just have to practice a lot then."  Lou answered with a smile.

"Right now I need some sleep if we are going to practice some more."  Kid returned the smile.

"I love you, Kid."  Lou said.

"I love you too, Louise."  Kid answered and they fell asleep in each other's arms.
