Animal Heart(14)

But these two were most unusual looking. Very long limbed and sleek, with big ears, smallish heads, and extremely long tails. Very odd looking indeed.

They finally disappeared from view.

Probably some kind of maned-wolf... They had long legs...

Her feet were suddenly cold, standing on the wooden floor. She padded back to bed and snuggled down under the warmth of the duvet. She looked at her travel clock. Five O'clock, much too early to get up, her alarm was set for seven. She drifted back to sleep for a few hours, her mind full of wonderful wild things. Wolves, unpredictable beautiful white horses, acres of land, forests, mountains, and lakes...

This was her kind of place. Seriously.



Aden stood in the yard waiting for Madison to arrive. He'd saddled up Oberon, a large black stallion with a gentle nature, but a fast pace. He hoped she liked his choice. He paced up and down the yard feeling nervous, but not knowing why. Just thinking about her disturbed his peace of mind. A lot. Last night's less than satisfying activity with Grace had obviously done nothing to calm his erotic thoughts about her, hopefully his body would behave itself today.

He heard the chatter of voices and Lucas appeared with Maddy, entering the yard. They carried on with their conversation, heads close together and smiling conspiratorially at each other as they arrived at his side. He narrowed his eyes at Lucas. He didn't like the way his arm was slung around her shoulders. It was far too friendly.

“I'll see you later Mads. Have a good day you two,” Lucas added, placing a big smacker of a kiss on her cheek. Aden's blood suddenly boiled unexpectedly. Now he was going much too far! He knew he wasn't supposed to hit on the guests. Not that he could blame him. She was well worth being ticked off for. His stomach squeezed uncomfortably with reaction to their sudden intimacy, and his chest ached painfully. He took a deep breath and pulled himself together.

He tried not to stare too hard at her as he said hello.

“How are you today Maddy? Looking forward to our trip?” His eyes raked her up and down in a frenzy, all control gone in an instant. Her tight riding britches, v-neck black t-shirt, and padded black fitted jacket looked so good on her. Desire started to build rapidly inside him, stirring him to life.

“I'm fine, and yes, oh boy... I can't wait!” She replied enthusiastically, with a wonderful big smile that lit up his heart. “Oh my God, he's just beautiful. What's his name?” She gasped, finally catching sight of the black horse half hidden behind Storm, and rushing around to stroke his nose immediately.

“Oberon... So you like him, do you?” He was overly pleased about that and couldn't stop a little smile escaping.

“I do. Almost as much as Storm,” she added pointedly. “He's gonna be a hot ride, I can feel it.” Before he could utter a reply, she stuck her foot in the stirrup and leapt up astride him with ease. He was a tall horse and she surprised him with her mounting agility. She picked up the reins and turned him, and trotted around the yard, coming to a neat halt in front of him.

“A real good mover, aren't you, Oberon my boy.” She patted his ebony neck appreciatively and began stroking his wild black mane. “Come on Aden, let's go.”

“You need to wear a hat,” he said, offering it up to her.

“You don't wear one,” she pointed out.

“I know, but you should,” he insisted.

“No thanks. Not today. I'm going hat free,” she replied in a rebellious tone.

“Don't blame me if you fall and crack your skull,” he snapped back.

“I've never fallen, not even once,” she announced, slowly and proudly.

“Well you know the old saying, 'There's always a first time for everything',”

“Oh do stop lecturing me and get the fuck on your horse, will you?” She snapped out with fire in her eyes and a hard glare.

“Yes ma'am...” he replied, taken aback somewhat by her sudden domineering and rather coarse attitude. He mounted, turned Storm quickly, and left the yard ahead of her, trotting swiftly down the trail towards the woods ahead. He was just picking up the pace a little, as a sudden rush of air took him by surprise. She shot past him at a full gallop, giving him a sly sexy smile as she passed. He couldn't help returning a tiny smile in return at her cheek. He watched her cute tight ass bound away from him on Oberon with an amazing graceful beauty, her hair flying wildly around her like a flaming cloud. God, she was so damn gorgeous, she made his heart weep with want. He knew in that one second he had to have her. He'd need to break his own damn rules about fraternising with the clients. It was rare for him to feel such an attraction as this, and he was going to follow it through. His cock hardened painfully against the constraints of his pants, and the saddle and he shifted to accommodate it. His imagination began to run wild, his mouth watering as he mentally tasted her body, his tongue running everywhere. She brought him out of his highly sexual thoughts with a bump.
