Chapter 11: Provisions

Aaron looked at the list of groceries that he needed to get for his family, and the other folks that lived in the town had brought their own lists. The old truck had enough room for himself, Limestone, and another person comfortably. Igneous was selected to go, since he would be able to help with selecting some of the goods for the household. Aaron took his tablet, toward everyone, and asked what their budget was. All except for Bob and Anna were able to press their thumbs to the tablet and give him a few credits to go toward what they were needing.

When he approached Bob and Anna they explained that they had honestly run out of funds. He studied them, and then within a few moments he tallied up the work they had done. When he was finished the both of them were surprised to see that they had a budget of about sixty credits, that was minus the cost of the house and materials, to spend on groceries. They both agreed to the number, and he set off with Limestone. The truck itself had been used a few times around Foreman’s Field, but this was the first long distance trip they had taken in it.

The road was one that Aaron had partially traveled by bus, and then walked the rest of the way to where Foreman’s Field. The road itself was an old state highway that the state barely paid attention to anymore. Large cracks and potholes had formed over time, and Aaron found himself dodging potholes as much as he was just driving. The other thing he was watching out for was the potential for highway robbers. Bandits had become something of realization in the last decade or so. They had taken to falling on those that would travel long distances, but most bandits tended to be set up for catching individuals traveling along on foot or potentially horseback. That wasn’t to say that some of the more enterprising bandits hadn’t set their sights on the buses that would travel between large cities.

As they drove he paid attention to the potential dangers that could pop up. The last thing he wanted to do was run into a situation that would put Limestone or her father into danger. It wasn’t that he was unafraid for himself, quite the opposite was true, but he was more afraid for his wife and father-in-law. As they drove he saw the exit that led to where they were heading. Foreman’s Field was closest to Elko Nevada. The city they were heading toward had become something of a trader’s paradise.

Aaron sighed with relief as he began to pass the outposts that the police had set up near Elko. As he got closer he had to slow down, explain who he was, where he was from, use his thumb print to verify his identity, and then he drove toward the city itself. The moment he arrived in Elko he drove toward the grocery store he had bought the supplies at when he first made his trip to Foreman’s Field. He pulled up toward it, and the three of them stepped out. At one time it had been something he was certain had been considered a modern and beautiful building. But time had not been kind to it, and what stood before the three of them was a tired old building.

They stepped in through the door, and he noticed the elderly woman that had been here when he first arrived. He waved at her and she returned her wave to him.

“Well, look at that. I never forget a customer, especially one that bought so many non perishable supplies. So, what are you up to hun?” she asked, “Did you make it to that town you bought?”

He nodded, “I did, and it’s coming back to life. We’ve got a few more residents there, and we’ve began to open businesses. Surprisingly there’s been a few people stopping in, and we needed to get some provisions for everyone. I’ve got each of their budgets listed on my tablet, and of course we’ll be selecting our own. Do you mind if I upload their lists to your tablet so that you guys could go ahead and begin getting them together for them?”

She smiled, “That’s not a problem,” she took her tablet, and instead of trying to link it wirelessly she held out an old micro USB cable to him. He plugged it into his tablet, and a few moments later he sent their lists, along with their budgets, over to her tablet.

“Okay,” she said, “It’ll take us about thirty minutes to fill their orders. Anything that’s cold or frozen would you like it placed into thermal bags?” she asked, “The bags are free of charge with orders like this.”

He nodded, “Please.”

She smiled and he watched as she called a few other employees to the front of the store. Within minutes each of them had a printed slip of paper with various items on it. With them running and getting what everyone else wanted he began walking with Limestone. The first place they stopped was the isle with bagged beans, rice, and pasta. He watched as she began loading the beans and rice into a cart that they had brought with them.

Igneous looked at what was being gathered, and then his eyes focused on something else. He walked toward the object in his sight and Aaron watched as he returned with a large container of ground coffee. It made sense that the older stallion would want some coffee. He’d been drinking the coffee that Aaron had bought when he was first stopped here. That coffee had long since run out, and he’d been making do with wild tea. Somehow Cloudy Quartz had managed to find wildflowers that made decent tea, and were completely non-toxic.

He’d quickly decided that it was one of the things that they were just able to do, or that she had done so before. Regardless Igneous had made do with tea, but now he was loading a much larger container of the coffee into the cart. Aaron was fine with it since he did enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee on occasion. Although truth be told he wasn’t the coffee drinker that Igneous obviously was.

They moved toward the next isle and Limestone stopped as she looked over the powdered foods. She grabbed a few containers of powdered eggs, then she grabbed a couple of boxes of soup packets, about six boxes of instant noodles, and finally she grabbed six containers of powdered milk. He watched as she put everything into the cart, and he marveled as she stacked them well enough that not one of them threatened to fall over. As she did this she bent at the waist, her hips shashsaying back and forth in such a way that he couldn’t take his eyes off of her. He moved forward, wrapped his arms around her in a hug, and she leaned up to accept it.

She ground her hips against him, let out a soft moan, as he held her, and then there was a slight cough that caught their attention. Both of them separated a little while Igneous simply smiled.

“T’is fine. Thou mother and I were young once,” he grinned, “And both of thee hath shown great restraint in thy desires.”

Limestone nodded, and then she looked at Aaron, “When we get back, unload, and get everything sorted take me upstairs and rut me until I can’t walk.”

He nodded, and they continued to gather the materials they needed. Aaron for his part felt relieved when they walked toward the front of the store itself. He wasn’t rich, by any stretch of the imagination, but over the last few weeks the influx of business to Foreman’s Field had brought him, and his family, a great influx of credits. The stores that had opened had delivered on their terms of the contracts, and currently he had a budget of about a thousand credits to stock up for the month.

He took everything to the front, placed it on the belt, and let it start to move up the line. The store in many ways was a holdover from older times. The conveyor belt they were using was attached to a self scanning station. As he loaded things Limestone and Igneous both stood at the opposite end. Limestone scanned, and Igneous bagged the materials in the bags that the scanner had released for them.

It took a few attempts for Igneous to realize that the scanner had obviously intended for each bag to be filled before getting another one, but once he realized it the assembly line moved easily enough. When all was said and done Aaron moved the cart to the front, and they loaded the bags into it. He walked toward the front of the store and there was about eight more carts, each of them more or less full of similar groceries.

They took the collection outside to the truck and he began loading everything, and separating them as best as he could. When they were done he got into the truck, started it, and soon they were heading back toward Foreman’s Field. Limestone sat beside him, and even though her eyes were on the windshield in front of them, her entire demeanor seemed to be focused on where they were going, he felt her hand on his leg.

It moved up, finding his crotch, and he felt her as she began to rub his cock through his jeans. She never looked down at what she was doing, she never smiled, she didn’t even give any other que that she was jerking him off through his jeans. She was quiet, talking only when Igneous talked to her, and she did her best to not indicate that she was getting turned on and incredibly wet. The moment that they arrived home couldn’t get there fast enough. For Aaron the drive home was far more difficult than the drive to Elko. Finally, he pulled into the designated parking area for their home, and outside he saw everyone waiting. They got out, and together he and Limestone began passing out the bags of groceries until it was just theirs that remained.

The three of them carried in their groceries, and then Aaron looked at the stairs, “I’m going to head up for a moment.”

Limestone nodded, “Yeah, I think that I want to get a shower and change,” she said as she followed him.

The two of them made it to their room, and the moment the door closed Limestone dropped to her knees. She didn’t say a word as she pulled his jeans down along with his boxers. Instead she licked his stiffening cock. She licked it from the base up to the tip and then he watched as she sucked it into her mouth. She began bobbing her head and he couldn’t help it as he rested his hands on the back of her head. She got up, pulled off her pants, which he could see that there was a damn spot on her panties, and they came off as well. She crawled onto the bed, her rump in the air and she looked back at him.

There was no need for words as he walked behind her. There was no need for questions, or statements, there was just a massive need for relief for both of them. He pressed against her, feeling the furnace, and then he dove into it. She let out a throaty moan as he took her. His hands pushed her shirt up, revealing her bra, which found itself moved over the top of her breasts. He cupped them as he thrust into her. She began to match his thrusts, her need and want every bit as large as his own. The two of them mated like animals in heat, and finally after a good fifteen minutes they lay beside each other.

Aaron looked at her as she smiled and curled up beside him. Neither of them cared that everyone likely heard the two of them, instead they were just happy in the moment.
