"I told you, lummox, I had personal things to do for my Mrs. Martin…"

"Ooohhh, you and your Mrs. Martin… Ughhh! I'm going to the stables," Juan said without looking at his wife, the pain in his back not so strong when he stood and walked. What he needed was a good and healthy belt of tequila… with a bitter wedge of lemon and salt! Christ, he was getting too old to work as he did. He was fifty… too fat and too lazy, besides his brain was still warped with visions of grandeur that had never materialized from his young years, and he hated everyone because of it. He smiled to himself. Well, nearly everyone, he thought a second time. Not the enticing little Missy… not his Katie… Damn, he had only to look at her to become revived all over again… no pain, no anything but love…! Stupid! You fat old man with the big prick! You're stupid! But he doubted that he would ever forget the night he stood outside her bedroom window and watched her undress… strip stark naked! Then, parade around the room with that Goddamned wolf behind her, his vicious nose half way up her luscious ass! Goddamn! He'd never seen anything like it! She was so beautiful… even the beast, itself, had seemed to notice! And then, the lights had gone out! A dozen more times he had tried to watch, hoping to just glimpse her lovely breasts, her intoxicating hips and thighs… and that erotic spot between her legs where the golden hairs grew… but he's been unsuccessful; she had remembered to close the draperies.

So… enticing things came to poor peons in small measure. At least, he got to watch the mother occasionally when she prepared for bed, and what could be a more enchanting sight than that provocative woman? All of the attributes of the daughter with dark trimmings. He grinned to himself. In truth, Juan Chaverez, you are a very lucky man… but only because you are a lecher and a voyeur. The fact that you are lazy and worthless is permissible only because you have been married for a thousand years to a good woman who bore you many sons and daughters… worthless sons and daughters! They provide nothing for your old age as you did…
