The Singletree – The Bear Hunt – by Linfisher

In her youth she had fucked so many men that, in her words, ‘if all the dicks that had been stuck in me were sticking out of me, I would look like a porcupine.’ Lori loved sex, but when she married Ted, she promised herself she would not fuck around any longer, she would be faithful to him. As she sat in the cold water she cried, wondering what to do, should she tell Ted or keep it to herself.

It was a hard question to answer. She cleaned herself, so that she would not smell of sex when she got home. She had a lot of soul searching to do in the days to come. Her tears continued to flow as she sat in the creek in the early morning light. After a while, she got out of the water, dressed and walked back to the camp.

The fire had been rebuilt and coffee was boiling when she arrived. Monte was lying on top of his sleeping bag, still naked and with a hard on. “What do you think, beautiful, want to mount me one more time before we mount up and go home?”

Lori looked at Monte and said, “Monte, last night was fabulous, but, there will never be sex between us again. Last night, I was a little drunk and gave in to you and let you have my body. It’s like I was in a dream. I’m going to hope Ted forgives me for what I have done. I love him and the kids and I don’t want to take any further risks to lose them. Let’s get dressed, load up and go home. We’re done here.”

Monte looked dejected, he thought she would continue to want his cock and was very surprised at her response and disappointed also. ‘Oh well’, he thought to himself, ‘he had scored with the most beautiful and desirable woman in the area… the fuck was good, but there are more fish in the sea.’

The ride out was quiet. When they reached the trucks, Lori unloaded her pack animals and unsaddled Jack. She loaded up and put the bear skin in the back of her truck. Before she left she walked over to Monte’s truck and told him, “thank you for your help Monte and a wonderful night. I don’t think that I could have got that bear without your help. I will mail you a check for your services, but I don’t think I will ever need your services again. I’m sorry for that because you are a very good hunter and sometime I may need you again, but, I won’t call you. Goodbye and good luck.”

With that Lori started her truck and pulled out. She continued crying all the way back to the ranch as the visions of the previous night flashed before her eyes. She just hoped that no one would be at the ranch when she arrived and luckily, all the guys were out on the ranch working when she got there. She unloaded the animals and the gear and parked the trailer.

She knew she needed to get the bear skin to the taxidermist as soon as she could to keep it from spoiling. She left the ranch and went by the taxidermist and left the skin and head. He told her it would be ready in about a month, he would call her. From there, Lori went home. She was glad to see that Ted was not there and it looked as though the kids were gone also. That was good for her, it would give her time to get herself back together. She took her packs in and unpacked all the clothing.

She disrobed and put the clothes in the washing machine. She then went to the shower and just stood under the warm water and cried some more. She cleaned herself inside and out and dressed in some shorts and a tank top. She continued to do laundry and cleaned up the kitchen. Her mind was racing about what to do. She thought of her cyber friend, a Canadian she had been messaging for some months. After her marriage, she told Ted about the cyber relationship, only to have him tell her to break it off.

After a while she had started it up again, he was such a good friend. She had lied to Ted when he asked if she had ended it. Maybe he would give her some advice on how to handle this. She thought to herself that maybe her infidelity should just be forgotten and put behind her…..could she live with it? It was a question that plagued her.

She heard Ted’s truck pull up to the house. When he came in he was smiling widely as he ran to her arms and kissed her and hugged her tightly. “I am so glad that you are home, I have missed you a lot.” He told her. “I’ve been worried as hell about you, not being able to call you up there.”

Lori pulled him close and held him tightly….her mind running rampantly. She knew she didn’t want to take the chance of losing him and she knew that she had fucked up. Ted kissed her and told her that he had a few more things to do on his farm, and would be back in about an hour and would take her out for dinner and she could tell him all about the hunt………..”You did get him, didn’t you?”

“Yes darling, I shot him, the taxidermist has him.” She told Ted. “I’ll change before you get back and it sounds great to go out tonight.”

Ted left and Lori went to her computer and sent a message to her friend asking his advice. He told her that if she loved Ted, she should keep it to herself, it would serve no purpose to tell him what she had done. Lori felt better after hearing from her cyber friend, she knew then that she would just keep it to herself and move forward. One thing she had to do, never put herself into a situation like that again. ‘One should learn from their mistakes’ she thought to herself.

She would change clothes, put the tears away and go out with her husband and later when they returned home, show him just how much she loves him. The world moves on and she wants to move with it, together with Ted and his kids. In her mind she said thank you to her cyber friend……he’s one in a million. Her mind moved to the future and the events of the hunt became a shadow in her mind.

However, the shadow looms there, always present…..she hopes that she can overcome the habits of her past and move on with her marriage……..but that’s another story !
