"Damn it! I need her back. I fucking can't sleep without her. She's probably sleeping like a baby, huh Logic?"
"Not really, she keeps me up half the night." Logic mumbled.
"Okay, I'm going to listen to y’all and I'm only going to call her once, no twice a day. I'm going to give her enough time and space to calm down."
"And can you please chill with the damn flowers. You got my apartment looking like a damn rose garden. Nigga, she gets it. You love her and you're sorry. Damn!" Logic teased.
"Apparently she doesn't. But I'm going to keep sending them until she does." Paul laughed.
They all laughed with him. It was comforting to see him laugh and smile again. Paul finally had a ray of hope to latch on to and somehow he knew in his heart that everything would someday be okay.
CHAPTER 26
Teddy's parents, who were killed in a drunk driving accident, passed away a few years ago and left him a modest horse ranch. Although it was an absolutely beautiful estate the memories were too painful for Teddy and he chose to share the townhouse with Paul instead of living there. At least once or twice a week he went to the ranch to help the stable hands and to ride the horses.
Since Queen had been gone, he discovered that he missed her deeply. The house was not the same without her there. Paul was not the same without her either. Hell, he had to admit that he wasn't even the same without her. He thought about her often and he wanted to spend some time with her. So, he decided to take Queen with him to the ranch to go horseback riding with him. He thought that it would help her relax and take her mind off things. Well, at least for a little while.
"Okay Mye Queen, take your pick." Teddy invited as he pointed to the horses residing in the stable stalls.
Queen stood at the entrance of the stable utterly spellbound. The stable held twelve magnificent animals, which towered over her like gigantic skyscrapers. Scared shitless she asked, "How about I just watch you ride?"
"What? How about you get over here. What's the matter?" Teddy asked as he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her down the aisle of the stable.
"Nothing, I'm okay."
"Hold up, I know you are not afraid."
"Hell yeah I'm scared! I've never ridden a horse before. These horses are huge. I could break my neck if I fall. I want to be a doctor, not a paraplegic."
"Come over here Mye Queen. I want to introduce you to King. He's my favorite. We'll ride him together until you learn how to ride. I promise you, nothing’s going to happen to you."
"There is no way I'm getting up there." Queen replied as she pointed to the horse that Teddy was preparing to saddle.
Teddy laughed. "It's safe, trust me."
"Okay. So, his name is really King?" she asked as she neared the beautiful coal black stallion.
"Yes, so you see you'll be fine. After all what are the odds that a King will break a Queen's neck?" He joked.
"Actually as corny as that sounds, you're probably right. It's really too ironic to actually happen." Queen relaxed and took a second look at the beautiful stallion. "He's handsome. Can I pet him?" She asked as she drew closer to Teddy and King.
"Here let me show you how to brush him. He loves to be groomed." Teddy said as he retrieved a brush from the saddlebag and began to methodically brush the horse's long, silky black mane. "Here give me your hand." He said as he stood behind her and guided her hand as she brushed King's wavy hair. His closeness was alarming yet comforting and Queen's fears soon dissipated.
"Good boy. You're such a pretty boy." Queen gently spoke as she continued to brush King's mane as Teddy secured the saddle and checked the integrity of the straps.
"He's absolutely breathtaking, I don't think I have ever seen anything so stunning." Queen declared in admiration.
"I have." Teddy said as he peered over King's back at Queen. Queen simply ignored the statement. "I think he likes you."
“I hope you're right. He seems so gentle, but he looks like he could fly like the wind. Is he fast?"
"Yeah, there's a reason he's my favorite. He's the fastest horse in the stable," Teddy grinned. "So, are you ready to ride?"
"Bear, I don't know. Promise, you'll go slow?"
"I promise I will always be slow and gentle with you. I will never hurt you Mye Queen," He said as his eyes engaged hers.
Queen realized he was no longer talking about horseback riding. Nonetheless she simply replied, "Okay, I'm ready then."
"Alright let's go."
"So, how do I get up there?" Queen asked as she pointed to King's saddle, which appeared to be a mile high.
"Okay, first you step up on the stirrup with your left foot. Then you pull up on the saddle handle and swing your right leg over the saddle like this." Teddy effortlessly demonstrated.
"Yeah that sounds and looks easy, if your legs are six feet long."
"I could just lift you up here if you want me to." Teddy offered.
"No, let me give it a try first. Hold King tight, so he doesn't run off with me." Queen said as she attempted to pull herself up onto King's saddle with little success.
Her body was willing, but her jeans may have been just a little too tight to swing her legs over King's broad back. After a second and a third attempt she realized what the problem was, unfortunately so did Teddy.
"I see the problem. You have too much ass and too little give in those jeans." Teddy chuckled as he watched Queen struggle to mount King.
"Bite me Teddy!" She retaliated in sheer frustration as she made her fourth and final attempt.
"That's a very tempting offer. But, I really didn't mean any disrespect. It was merely an observation. I'm sorry.... it was insensitive. Forgive me? And by the way, I wish I was those jeans."
"It's okay, you're right. My ass is too big and my jeans are too tight. I bet I could do this if I didn't have them on." She said as she stood on the stirrups trying to figure out a way to get up in the saddle.
"Take them off. If you think it will help." Teddy joked.
"You are so damn nasty. Help me get up there." She retorted.
Teddy mounted King and then reached down and lifted her up, with one arm. "Now just throw your leg over."
"Damn Poppy! I didn't realize you were that strong. If I knew it was going to be that easy I would have given up sooner." Queen teased as she settled into the saddle behind Teddy.
"Now where can I hold on, so I won't fall off?" She asked.
"You can wrap your arms around my waist, unless you're afraid to touch me." Teddy taunted.
"And why would I be afraid to touch you?" Queen questioned as she tightly, wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I don't know. You've been avoiding me like I had the Eboli virus or some shit."
"Bear I've been going through a lot lately. Nobody was avoiding you. Avoiding you... please, you know that's not true."
"Okay, say what you want. But I know what I feel."
"I see that this is going to be a long ass ride." Queen murmured. "Can we go now?"
Teddy grinned and said "No problem." Seconds later he yelled "Giddy up!"
He yelled as loud as he could and King bolted down the well-traveled path like a veteran thoroughbred racing in the Triple Crown. Queen released a bone chilling scream befitting a victim in a Stephen King movie as she desperately held on for dear life. Her heart pounded over a hundred times per minute as the splendorous animal sprinted like the wind along the crooked country trail. She quickly shut her eyes tight in anticipation of imminent disaster as Teddy masterfully navigated King around a virtual obstacle course of fallen tree limbs, low hanging branches, boulders, burrows and broken fences. After an infinite number of close calls, near misses and narrow escapes her adrenaline kicked in and shrills of terror suddenly turned into jubilant screams of joy.
Immediately she was void of all fear and felt incredibly vivacious. Queen realized that at that particular moment she was more alive than she had ever been at any other time in her twenty one years of existence. What once was
a horrific ride from hell had instantly transformed into an exhilarating, erotic journey of self discovery and liberation. Free of all inhibition and suddenly feeling immortal she finally opened her eyes, relaxed and enjoyed the ride.
"This is fantastic! Faster, faster, go faster! I love it!" She yelled at the top of her lungs as King effortlessly thundered through the maze of trees in the dimly lit, dense forest. Her long ponytail tossed wildly in the wind as they whisked along the crude tree lined trail. Moments later they burst into an enchanting meadow of deep purple and white wildflowers. The powerful hooves of the racing horse released the sweet scent of fresh-cut flowers, as they thrashed the delicate flower petals. As Queen inhaled the alluring aroma she instinctively closed her eyes and hugged Teddy's waist tighter. She never imagined that horseback riding could be so romantic and titillating. She suddenly felt an uncontrollable urge to be alone in Teddy's arms.
Everyone knows that God answers prayers, but what they don't know is that the devil answers some too. Seconds later King's fast gallop slowed to a mere trot and then to a leisurely walk as they approached and stopped near an enormous tree with a wrap around bench.
After dismounting, Teddy wrapped his large strong hands around Queen's waist and lifted her off King as if she weighed less than a feather. Without warning she threw her arms around his neck and quickly planted her mouth over his soft moist lips and gave him a big wet kiss. As he attempted to put her down on the ground she encircled his waist with my legs and squeezed him tight. Captured completely off guard Teddy momentarily lost his footing and they tumbled to the ground.
"What the hell got into you Queen?" Teddy asked in amazement.
"Adrenaline! The strongest natural aphrodisiac on the planet." She said as she reluctantly climbed off Teddy's muscular flat stomach and dusted her pants off. You're so lucky I'm a good girl or I'd put it on you."
"Put what, on who?" Teddy asked in disbelief as he leaned back on his elbows still sitting on the ground.
"You know what I'm talking about." Queen laughed as she meticulously dusted her round behind off.
"I still can't believe you jumped me like that." Teddy chuckled. He hesitated and then replied, "I think I can help you with your problem." He stated as he got up and brushed his pants off.
"Oh, yeah what problem would that be?" Queen asked still trying to get the grass off her pants.
"You know that sudden horny feeling that caused you to jump off of King and attack me. That little problem."
"Oh, that problem. Yeah well, thanks for the offer, but I think I'll survive. What is it about horseback riding that causes that anyway? I thought it was just adrenaline, but now I'm not so sure."
"That sensation you're currently experiencing is caused by the steady rhythmic pounding of your clitoris on the hard, smooth leather saddle during the horse's high speed gallop. Horseback riding is just like foreplay. It's sort of a prelude to sex." Teddy's sexy, seductive voice whispered in her ear. "Now, I could scratch that itch for you if you want me to." Teddy offered as he moved closer further invading Queen's personal space.
"So, you wouldn't mind scratching this itch I have. Right here, right now. That sounds extremely tempting, and as good as that would feel how could I say no. But, what about Paul?"
"Fuck him! He'll never know."
"Yeah, fuck him! What the hell, why not?" Queen seductively teased as she not so innocently rubbed her body against his.
"Look, we can't exactly do it right here. We can walk back into the field of wild flowers. They're pretty tall, so nobody will see us. Besides it'll be kind of romantic.
"Yeah, I guess it would be, but we can just take care of it right here. There's no need to walk all the way back there."
"What if somebody sees us here?" Teddy asked confused.
"So, what? Who cares? Let them watch." Queen casually replied.
"What?" Teddy inquired, shocked.
"What's the big deal? I am sure they've seen somebody getting their back scratched before." Queen laughed as she held up the back of her shirt to expose her bare back. "Scratch this spot right here first. I can't reach it, and it has been driving me crazy all damn day."
"You're so, damned funny. You play too fuckin much Queen." Teddy said as he walked away in a huff.
"Come on Bear, where are you going? It itches really badly. Help a sista out." She laughed as she ran to catch up with him as he headed towards the field of wildflowers.
"Alright, come here, turn around and let me see. Where does it itch?" Teddy asked as he stopped to wait for her.
"Right here." Queen said as she lifted up her blouse and pointed at a spot in the hollow of my back.
"Is this the spot right here?" Teddy confirmed as he gently scratched the sensitive skin of her back.
"Oh yeah, that's the spot. Don't stop keep it right there." She whispered, enjoying the sensation.
"You're sure this is the right spot?" Teddy asked concerned.
"Oh yes, I am positive that's the spot. What are you doing? Don't stop. Keep going."
"You're sure this is the right spot?"
"Yes! I told you that it's the right spot!"
"Good!" Teddy said as he licked the spot with his hot tongue and then sucked the soft flesh of Queen's back deep into his mouth until she squealed out in delight.
"Stop it Bear!" She screamed as her knees began to weaken and then buckle.
"That's what you get for playing around. Don't play with me again. Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids." Teddy laughed as he quickly ran away.
Once the blood flow returned to her legs Queen chased him around in the field of wild flowers, swatting at him wildly trying to hit him. Teddy ran as fast as a cheetah darting from left to right avoiding her swings. He laughed and taunted her as she gave chase until she finally slipped and fell in the bed of wild flowers.
Their sweet fragrance was sensual and intoxicating as she lay there laughing uncontrollably, until Teddy extended a hand to help her up. She quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him as hard as she could until he fell in the soft bed of flowers with her.
Their eyes met briefly before he rolled on top of her and passionately introduced his sultry tongue into her mouth. She sucked its sweetness deep into her throat. They melted quickly as they savored their first real kiss. Almost instantly Queen could feel Teddy's manhood rapidly swell. She gasped at its massiveness.
Teddy's enormous hands wandered all over her body until they found their target, her voluptuous derriere. He quickly rolled onto his back pulling her into the top position as he kneaded her rear with his long fingers. Queen could feel him become even harder and larger as she straddled her legs around his waist. His hips begin to slowly gyrate against her throbbing love nest while their tongues continued their steamy encounter. Guided by his strong hands her hips joined his rhythmic, erotic dance to ecstasy. She moaned loudly as Teddy rolled on top of her again and sucked the tender flesh of her neck.
Queen's kitty kat began to purr as Teddy redirected his mouth to the fleshy part of her breast peaking from the top of her cherry red lace bra as he gently unbuttoned her blouse. Queen felt her body turn on her as her mouth tried to say no, but every inch of her body screamed, "Oh hell yeah!"
"Powerless to resist she ran her hands through Teddy's soft short-cropped curly locks. Her gentle caress abruptly stopped his advances. As he ceased his gyration, he looked up from Queen's breast and stared deeply into her eyes. "What's the matter, are you having second thoughts?" He asked, genuinely concerned, in a strange deep, raspy voice, as he urgently searched Queen's face for the truth.
Queen sucked her bottom lip into her mouth, dropped her eyes and hesitantly nodded yes. "Bear, I want to. I swear to God I want to so bad. But I don't know if I can."
Teddy looked away, cleared his throat. "I know. I feel the same way." He moaned as he rolled off of her.
"What's the matter with us?" Queen asked as she sat up.
"Nothing. Not a damn thing. We just met each other at the wrong fuc
king time."
"Bear, I'm still in love with Paul. I don't really know what's going to happen between us in the future, but..."
"Queen you don't have to explain. Believe me I understand. I've never even come close to pulling some fowl ass shit like this on him, ever. So, believe me I know exactly how you feel." Teddy confessed.
"I fucking want you so fucking bad my body is shaking."
"But...." Teddy waited for a response.
"There is no but. Paul and I are no longer together. Still I don't want him to ever find this out."
"What are you trying to say Queen?" Teddy asked confused.
"I'm saying this stays right here. Agreed?"
"Yeah I agree. I don't ever want him to know about this either." Teddy said as he waited for Queen to make the next move.
He didn't have to wait long. Queen finished unbuttoning her top, removed her bra and stripped off her jeans. She stood half naked before a stunned Teddy who grinned from ear to ear. "You are more exquisite then I could have ever imagined."
He quickly pulled her down into the bed of wildflowers and methodically kissed her body inch by inch. She screamed with pleasure as his mouth reached its final destination, the wet spot between her thighs. She quickly exploded with pleasure as he sucked her clit in his mouth savoring it's sweetness for what seemed like an eternity.
Moments later their bodies clang together in a rhythmic symphony of bliss. Queen screamed wildly as he masterfully guided her into orgasm number two. Teddy followed close as he screamed and reached an earth shaking climax of his own. They continued to lie in the wildflowers holding each other tight afraid to let their moment end.
"Why the fuck am I so captivated by this woman? Why can't I just fucking walk away and leave her alone? Together or not, she's Paul's girl." Teddy thought as they lay there still entwined.
The truth was that he already knew the answer. Teddy was absolutely crazy about Queen. He had been from the moment they met. Paul's girl or not Teddy was hopelessly in love with her.
