« Now that I like » She said loudly as they stepped into the silent woods. Her horse whinnied under her and she smiled. “See, Kara agrees with me”
Kevin just shook his head and moved to face the path once more, intent on guiding them correctly.
She sighed quietly, looking at the nature around her, enjoying the soft breeze that cooled the otherwise hot weather. He had been right. Even though it was probably over 100° and that she would have liked nothing more than to stay in their air-conditioned house, riding had been a good idea.
It was cooler in the shade of the trees and she had missed feeling a horse under her. Just stepping slowly along a trail, silent and watchful as birds sang above them. That, that was life.
Not the tour or the celebrity world. That was just glitter. But this, riding on the horse that Kevin had bought her for their 1st Anniversary…this was magical.
“Kev?” She said then, watching as he turned around in his seat and smiled wonderingly at her. “Thank you”
He just grinned, his eyes twinkling as he sent her a kiss.
Later on, the path having widened, she pushed her mare forward and settled comfortably alongside Kevin.
He looked at her tenderly and said “I had missed this”
“I know. Me too. It feels so long since we’ve taken the time to go riding”
“Months”
She nodded. “Probably”
“You don’t like L.A., do you?” He asked suddenly.
She felt her eyes widen slightly at his question. They had talked about this once. How he didn’t have any choice but to reside in California for the moment. Even though the house he had built in Kentucky was empty and even though they liked it better there, they didn’t have a choice. And so they lived most of the year in the glamorous City of Angels.
“You know I don’t. It’s okay though” She added quickly.
“Is it?”
The tone of his voice made her turn around so that she faced him. “What do you mean?”
“You look so much happier right now”
“I’m always happy, Kev”
He shook his head. “No, not like this. You’re glowing today”
“That’s only because I’m-“ She snapped her mouth shut when she realized she was going to say ‘happy’.
Kevin smiled sadly. “You see?”
“But you’re wrong. I’m always happy and that’s because I’ve got you. Here or in L.A., I’m just happy to be with you”
His eyes closed for an instant and when they reopened, she was stunned by the emotions clearly displayed in his vibrant gaze. “God, I love you” He murmured before grabbing her reins and stopping her mare. Then, as his own horse stopped alongside hers, he dropped their reins and grabbed her neck. Their lips met and merged in a passionate kiss, her arms wrapping around his waist as she leaned over to him.
A groan broke out from his lips as he broke the kiss, his face falling into the crook of her neck. He nipped her skin and licked it better, making her grasp his back even tighter as she closed her eyes in pleasure. “Kevin”
Her soft sigh spurred him into action. Arms closing on her hips, he jerked her off her stirrings and levelled her off her horse.
Only to drop her onto his own horse, facing him. “Kev!” She shrieked, looking at him like he had grown suddenly mad. “We can’t…Kara!” She whirled around as she remembered her mare.
“She won’t leave, relax. And don’t talk too loudly, you’ll frighten Thunder” He grinned down at her.
“We’re too heavy for him” She countered instantly.
“Of course not. He’s a good horse”
“Kev-“ His lips on hers interrupted her recriminations, turning them into a long moan when he pressed her closer against him.
“What are you doing?” She mused quietly a few minutes later, as she blinked up at him.
Kevin looked at her silently. Her lips were red from his kisses, her hair was a mess thanks to his wandering hands. But she was still beautiful. And she was his.
Smiling, he dropped a tender kiss on her parted lips. “I have this fantasy” He started talking, his voice low and thick. His hands moved underneath her chambray shirt, up her sides until they encountered fabric. Then he stopped and whispered against her neck. “You and me, naked on a horse. Making love”
The image filtered inside her mind and she bit down hard on her lower lip. This sounded so…exciting. Feeling heat rise deep between her legs, she fidgeted then grabbing his forearms to steady herself, moved up her thighs so that they were wrapped over his.
A slow smirk graced his face. Until Thunder paced beneath them and they nearly fell off the horse.
She didn’t shriek, didn’t scream out but her hold on his arms strengthened and she looked up at him, somewhat scared.
“Shhh” He slowly patted the horse’s neck, succeeding in calming him down.
“Kev, we can’t do this. Thunder will bolt and I’m wearing jeans. And you are too. And this is just not going to work!”
Her shushed words made him want to laugh. He had never thought she would go along with this but then, she always managed to surprise him. “But we can do something else”
She frowned. “What?”
His left eyebrow rose and he leaned down until their mouths were just millimetres away. “Trust me”
His tongue slowly traced the seam of her lips, her own mouth parting, intent on taking their kiss further. Deeper.
Lost in the way he always made her feel, just with one kiss – something that continuously amazed her – she didn’t feel his hands at first. His right hand closed around her breast, his warm palm making her nipple pucker.
“Mmm” She moaned into his mouth, enjoying the light chuckle that was his response.
But then she felt something else. His other hand to be more exact.
On the front of her jeans, gliding down and down until his thumb pressed against her covered wetness.
Oh my.
She broke the kiss and gasped “Kev!”
“Shhh” He whispered, taking her lips again for a quick but intent kiss. “It’s okay. Just trust me”
Okay, okay she could do that. Trust him. Ohhh, she closed her eyes and leaned against him. That was nice.
He was deftly undoing her jeans, his fingers sliding inside her panties. Oh, OH. “God” She groaned into his mouth, her hips twisting forward as a finger pressed against her clit.
This was definitely weird…feeling Thunder prance under her at the same time than Kevin’s finger entered her. So weird but so good.
Definitely good.
Especially when he knew so well how to give her pleasure.
“Kevin”
“You’re beautiful” He whispered as he edged back and looked at her flushed face.
She blinked, her lips parting like she was going to say something. Instead she shivered, her walls clamping around his finger.
He smiled. “I want to watch you come” He whispered, knowing that would get to her. And it did.
Her mouth opened on a silent scream as she tightened her hands on his arms, her nails biting into his skin. He gritted his teeth and ignored his furious need. Not now. Not right now anyway.
“God, that was…” She murmured, slightly shaking in his arms as he drew her forward. Kissing her hair tenderly, he gathered her close and closed his eyes.
She was his.
“I think…” Her voice resounded between their chests. He let his arms drop to her waist and she looked up at him then and added. “I think we need to go back home. Now”
Her brilliant grin told him everything he wanted to know. Chuckling, he called out to Kara and managed to get her on top of her mare again.
Then they looked at each other and tackled their horses, speeding away.
Towards their house and its very comfortable table.
Or maybe the shower.
Or the sofa.
Or…
