"Yes. She's going to be the first brood mare."
Aurei comes out of a stall with an Appaloosa gelding, white with small black dots. "Let me guess? Renegade!" I walk up to nuzzle him. "He's gorgeous!"
Aurei laughs at my FSU reference. "Meet Blue."
"I like Blue too."
As they saddle the horses, I confess to Ann. "I'm to blame for Flash's escape. I taught him to slide the latch. Hook it with a rope instead. Maybe no one has taught him that."
"I thought I had lost my mind. I knew I put him in there last night. Anything else I should know?"
"He likes to run too."
"You can show me. It's got to be satisfying to see him again."
"Yes, it is. It's hard to give one up you raise, but I headed off to college and he was sold. I'll take him for a quick run and show you what he can do, but he is yours. I'll ride Flicka. How's that sound?"
"Sounds great."
We walk out to the pasture with Blue and Flicka and she brings Flash to me. "Ok, let's see what he's got."
I stick my foot in the stirrup and swing up. "My pleasure!" I suck my lips and we walk off. Two clicks in my cheek, he transitions to a gallop. He begins to pull the reins wanting to run. Ok Boy, let's see if you've lost anything with age. I brace in the stirrups, click my cheek again and give him his head. He runs like the wind. Leaning over his neck, we race across the pasture. Yee Haw! There's nothing like the feel of a beast making the sound of thunder under you. Using my heels and knees to communicate with him, he makes a sharp turn to the left like the cow pony he was bred and trained to be. When we roll out of the turn, he takes off at full speed again. I hop in the saddle until he stretches out, running and thundering. Then I turn him tight to the right. Again, another beautiful execution. Oh, Flash! You still got it! Racing him back to the barn, I feel … Freedom! Knowing I shouldn't, but not being able to control myself, I run him to Aurei and Ann, then I pull him up, hard. He sits hard on his hunches and bounces as he skids to a halt. I bail out of the saddle and hit the dirt running. In five steps, I launch myself on Aurei. He drops Blue's reins as I slam into his chest, wrapping my legs around him, mounting him. My momentum rocks my body forward. He puts his arms around my legs as I throw my arms in the air, lay my head back, thrush my tits to the sky, snatch my ball cap off, and shake my mane, letting it fan out. I throw my hat in the air, squealing with joy! I hang there, enjoying the exhalation of freedom. "Ah, that was fucking FUN!" I shout. As I look down on Aurei's smiling face, he lowers me. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
When my breasts are even with his face, I cinch him tight with my legs. He chuckles as his face slides into my cleavage. "My Wild Thang!" He says against my skin. Giggling, I loosen my grip, sit on his abs and hug him. "You ride like you fuck. Passionately. Freely. Beautifully."
"I love to do both!" I let my legs drop to the ground, and slide down his body. "They both take my breath away." I leave my hands on his chest as I stand. "But only you, Aurelius Moore, leave me breathless."
Taking a step back, I smile as I turn toward Ann who says. "TMI! T. M. I!"
Aurei pulls me back to him rough. My body slams into his. His eyes have that dark, hooded, intense look. I feel my heart respond to it, singing. "What, Mr. Moore?" I ask as my eyes twinkle up at him.
"This!" He lays his lips on mine, holding them with his, then he blows his breath in my mouth.
I inhale deeply, breathing him in to my core. The feel of his breath entering my lungs sets my body on fire. My skin flushes as I stare into his eyes with my own dark, intense look. My body tingles from my lips to my toes. "Damn!" I exclaim, whispering as I exhale. "That was hot as hell!"
"You can't live without breath."
I hear my mama's voice. 'Exactly.'
"Damn!" I whisper again as I feel myself fall further down into the abyss.
"All right, all right. Come on, you two love birds. Are we going to ride today or what?" Ann has already mounted Flash and has been waiting on us.
Aurei swoops me up. "Yes, we are." He puts me on Flicka and I turn her toward the pasture while Aurei mounts Blue.
"I thought we would ride to the creek, bro. I only have an hour left before I have to go."
"Sounds good."
"Last one there is a rotten egg!" She kicks Flash hard and he bolts away.
Aurei taunts me. "You heard her. Last one to the creek is a rotten egg." He kicks Blue hard and takes off.
"Where the hell is the creek?" I kick Flicka hard and she takes off in hot pursuit. The race is on. Flicka stretches herself out as I go low over her neck standing in the stirrups, flicking her with the reins on each shoulder, urging her faster as I let her have her head. When Aurei looks back, we fly past at break neck speed. She obviously knows where we are going.
Half way to the open gate at the far end, I see Flash standing alone. Oh, shit! No Ann! I turn to see where Aurei is. He is coming along side. We exchange a 'What the fuck' look. He points for me to get Flash while he heads on.
Flicka and I barrel over to Flash with my heart racing in my throat. Please be all right, Ann, please be all right. As we come alongside him, I lean out of the saddle and grab his reins. He seems spooked. I talk to him to calm him as I pull him to follow. Clicking my cheek, both horses start to trot, another click and we gallop, another click and we are running.
Coming through the gate, I see Aurei with Ann on Blue riding doubles. She waves over his head and I release the breath I was holding. Slowing the horses down to a trot, we draw alongside. "Ann, are you ok? What happened?"
"Sorry for the scare, Siri. I can't imagine what ran through your head. When I got to the gate, it was shut. I got off Flash to open it. We went through fine, but a rabbit shot out of the grass. He flinched and jumped sideways, pulling the reins out of my hand, then he took off the way we came."
"Oh, Thank the Gods!" I say as I look from Ann to Aurei. He is grinning but his eyes aren't looking at my face. They are looking at my tits.
My silk shirt is untied and pushed off my shoulders. Looking down, I blush. With a sideways grin, I say to them as I put my tits back inside their prison and adjust my shirt. "Excuse my tittybong."
Ann laughs as she pushes off Blue and lands like a cat on her feet. "Bro, she's a keeper." She strolls over to Flash and speaks to him, sweetly, whispering in his ear as she scratches him under his mane. He nuzzles her. "We're going to work out all the kinks, aren't we boy?" She takes his reins and climbs on. "Listen, I'm going to walk him back, then brush him down. You two go on ahead, and I'll see you next week."
"All right, Baby Sister. We can't stay long today either. We're meeting Paul and Steve at The Stallion. I'll show Siri the creek, then we'll head back."
"Sounds good. I'll leave Flash in the paddock. Turn Blue and Flicka in with him when you leave. I'll be back tomorrow morning to check on them."
"Siri, it's been a pleasure! I've never met anyone Aurei has dated before. I guess he was holding out for you. Bro, she appears to have been worth waiting for." She turns Flash back to the barn and they walk off. A few seconds later, she shouts. "Beautiful tits, by the way."
Aurei rolls his eyes and turns Blue toward the gate where the mishap occurred. Flicka and I follow, trotting up to walk alongside. "So, you've never brought anyone around Ann? Why not? She's awesome! Please don't say it's because she is gay. That would break my heart on so many levels."
"No." He laughs. "Not because she is gay and she is awesome."
"Then why not?" I ask curious.
"I don't play games."
"What game is that?" I ask confused.
"The drama queen game. You know, you see a hot chick. You talk to her. She responds. You ask for her digits. She gives them to you. You call her. There is drama. You go out on a date. There is more drama. You take her home. More drama. You don't go in because of the drama so there's more drama. You don't call her back. Even more drama."
I start to laugh, then I laugh harder and harder. Before I know it, I'm laughing s
o hard that I'm leaning over the saddle horn with tears streaming down my face. Aurei laughs too but only because it's contagious. "What? What's so funny?"
I try to tell him but I keep busting out with new laughter every time I try. He pulls Blue up and sits there laughing and waiting for me to gain control. Finally, I catch my breath. "Drama? Really? You picked me up on the side of the road last night in the wee hours walking home from a party of Swingers in my stripper dress. We make out in the elevator. I go home alone! I text you. We are hooking up when you discover I'm a virgin and you stop cold. I beg you to fuck me. We argue about it! You finally bust my cherry. We quake crazy, beautiful sex then and again in the shower this morning but only after I ball, sobbing! I confess my secrets, tell you who I am and what I do then tell you the wildest tale about what happened last night at that Swingers cock and tail party." I start giggling again. "Aurei, what on earth constitutes drama to you?"
He laughs out loud with me now. "I see your point." He says as he lets Blue walk. Flicka follows. They continue down the trail, heading up a hill. "But that's real drama, not some made up shit like whose fingernail polish doesn't match their clothes, or who's gained weight, or what hair color they should be."
I wipe my eyes. "So, you said you gave up dating … but I know you didn't give up fucking."
He smirks. "No, I didn't give up fucking."
"Well?"
"I preferred to do my fucking in Rome."
"That's a long way to go to fuck. How often do you go?"
"Did go. I haven't been back since November."
"Oh. Ok. When you did fuck in Rome, did you fuck anyone in particular?"
"No. I used a modeling agency for my hook ups."
"Oh." I say surprised again. "Any preferred regular models?"
He laughs. "No preferred. No regulars. No preferred regulars. A different one every trip." He points to the creek. "We're here."
As the horses crest the hill, then continue down to it, I look onto a scene right out of a picture book. The crystal clear creek water flows slowly along a sandy bank. There is one big oak tree next to it on our side but Oak trees line the bank of the other side. "Wow! It's beautiful." He dismounts as I stare. He walks around to me and I slide down him into his arms. He slides his fingers between mine as we walk down to the edge of the water. "Is this spring fed?"
"Yes, it is."
"It's so clear. It's hard to tell how deep it is." I pick up a small rock and throw it in. We watch the ripples spread out as it sinks to the bottom. "It's deep."
He chuckles. "Yes, it is." I lay my head on his arm and look out across to the trees on the other side. "Hey!" I point. "Is that a tree swing?"
"Yes, it is. Ann and I spent a lot of summers here, swimming in the creek, swinging off that rope and dropping into the ice cold water."
"I can't wait to do that! I've never done it before." I grin at him and put my head back on his arm watching the creek flow. Then a sobering thought sneaks in and I stiffen. Neither of us have had a relationship before. I squeeze his hand for reassurance and hug his arm tight.
"Why the frown, Baby Thang?"
"Am I frowning?" I shake my head. "It's nothing."
He puts our hands behind my back and turns me to him. Then he takes his hand and lifts my chin so he can stare into my eyes and I can't look away. "No. It wasn't nothing. I know what I saw, Siri."
Staring into his honest green gaze settles my nerves. "I realized neither of us have ever done this before. We don't know what we are doing."
He chuckles as he kisses the top of my head. "Someone special said that two hearts who choose to be together …. Choose is the key word, isn't it. Neither of us have ever done this before because we chose not to settle for less." I push-up on my tip toes and peck his beautiful lips, closing my eyes. "Let's look at it this way. Neither of us have failed at it. Our records are clean. We aren't scarred by someone else's bullshit or drama. We can write whatever we want on our record." He hugs me tight to him. "We will choose how to make it work on our own terms. Like our own definition of forever." I open my eyes and he places his lips on mine. "Now, breathe." He blows his sexy air in my mouth and I throw my arms around his neck sucking his air in, expanding my lungs till I am forced to exhale. "No more frowning over that non-issue, My Little Thang!"
"I like the way you think, Mr. Aurelius Moore. I truly like the way you think."
"Come on, let's get back. We have a hot date tonight." That makes me giggle and I take Flicka's reins from him and mount up. Turning back to the barn, we walk the horses, side by side.
"I have millions of questions for you."
He feigns distress. "Oh shit!"
I laugh. "Don't be an asshole! I'm warning you! I know how to wield a riding crop." I raise my eyebrows at him. "Skillfully."
"Oh snap! Watch out! What if I like it?"
"You would. I guarantee it."
"Oh double snap! I know I would now."
I giggle. "Who are Paul and Steve?"
"High school bro's."
"Either married or in a serious relationship?"
"No."
"Either know about me?"
"No. We'll surprise them too."
"The Stallion. Isn't that a Gentlemen's Club?"
"Used to be, but it didn't work out. It's a dance hall now."
"Are you a regular?"
"Yes, but only because my bro's go. Paul likes to fuck and he isn't particular about with who."
"A man hoe then. And Steve?"
"He isn't as bad as Paul, but he doesn't push pussy away."
"And you?"
"Is that some of your trickery?"
I laugh. "Busted! Just kidding! Are your parents living?"
"Yes. They are vacationing in Italy."
"Are you Italian?"
"No. I'm an American."
"Are they Italian?"
"No, they are American. My mother is first generation. Her parents were Italian. My father's parents are American for generations with British ancestry."
"Cool. More questions on Italy later. A ton more questions on Italy later." I speed clap my hands together making him laugh. "I'm so excited about our trip. Are there still stripper poles in The Stallion?"
He pulls back on Blue's reins and stops. "Why?"
I keep riding.
He trots back up to me. "Why?"
"Answer the question, please."
"Yes."
"May I dance on the pole tonight?"
"No." His commanding tone is back.
"But?" I start but he cuts me off.
"No." He is more insistent. "The Stallion isn't a controlled environment. A bastard may hurt you. No."
"But…."
"I don't play well with others, Siri. I would hate to kill someone because they hurt you."
I remember his warrior face in the shower and again when he charged out into the hallway when I was with TD and I realize he might be serious. "Oh, the thunderous Son of Thor would return." I say to make light of his words.
"Something like that."
"Ok then."
"Listen, let's put this on our slate. When you are not working, you dance only for me."
"Ok. Can I dance at all at the Stallion?"
"Only for me, only for fun and nothing too erotic. I can only imagine the hard on's you can conjure."
"Oh, don't imagine. When I dance erotic, there isn't a soft dick or a dry pussy in the house." I wink at him and slide my tongue along the bottom of my teeth.
"Fuck! Siri, I'm feeling needy again."
Laughing, I kick Flicka and we gallop off to the barn. We unsaddle the horses in silence. Aurei puts the saddles in the tack room, while I turn the horses loose as Ann instructed. I come back with the bridles and take them to the hose to wash the bits off as Aurei walks back around. "I was thinking how awesome it is that you ride too. When I fell for you in Vegas I was only hoping for a long term fantastic fucking arrangement. Now, I'm really looking forward to the drama with you." He sou
nds sincerely amazed.
I roll my eyes and shake my head, then squirt him square in the chest. The well water is from the spring and cold as ice! He gasps and flinches as the water nails him, but he doesn't back away. Instead, he charges. "Oh shit!" I drop the hose, squeal and run. He picks it up and pretends to be okay with my practical joke, only to turn it on me when I face him. I scream as he hits me square in the chest. "That's cold as fuck!" And in the back too, as I run around the barn out of the line of fire.
Giggling and shivering, I stand by the truck while he hangs the bridles up. When he comes around the barn, he has his shirt off. The sight of him in only his faded jeans and cowboy hat sends a fresh wave of hot desire coursing through my icy veins, warming me better than anything else could! Damn! That's a beautiful sight. I don't think I will ever get tired of seeing his gorgeous Golden God body! His pecs are perfect. His chest tapers sharply down to a narrow waist over a hard, ripped six pack. His round muscular arms are to die for. His forearms bulge with the history of swinging a hammer by hand. The whole package shows he knows how to use the construction tools in his storage unit. His big thighs flex and ripple under the tight jeans. The small patch of hair on his chest and the small line of hair that runs from his navel down then disappears under his jeans makes my mouth water. Son of Thor fits for sure.
As he approaches the truck, his eyes are turned on me so I unbutton my shirt and take it off too, which makes him walk around the front to the passenger side. When he gets a few steps away, I wad it up and throw it at him. He ducks, but catches it and tosses it on the hood of the truck. "Asshole!" I call him as I fold my hands over my chest and turn my back, pouting.
His voice drops. "Hey, I was only playing. Don't be mad."
"Gotcha!" I point at him, teasing, giggling. He lunges for me and I dart away, but he catches me easily. His arms engulf me and I bend forward, laughing hard. He lifts me and I keep running in the air so he rolls me to ride on his hip as he takes me back to the truck. My tits, in my soaked bra, rub up and down on his abs with each step he takes. He opens the door and sets me down, feet first. I stand, still engulfed in his warm arms. He takes his hat off and says in a low voice. "I found your hat, Wild Thang."
