“I rode a donkey once but it was nothing like this.He was small and skinny and only had on a blanket.I didn’t like it at all.I like being taller than you.I can see all the gold in your hair glinting in the sunlight.This is fun.”

“I’m glad you think so.Do you want to go a little faster?She’ll start to trot.It is the worst gait for the rider but a good one for the horse.She can go longer distances more easily at a trot.You ready?”

“Yes, let’s give it a shot.”

Ben began to slowly jog with Champagne.

Emily had to hang on to the saddle horn with both hands.

“Ben stop.Please.”

He slowed down so the horse was walking again, and then he stopped all together.

“I don’t like that second gait.It’s not comfortable at all.Can I get down now?I think I’ve had enough riding for one day.”

Ben chuckled.

“Yes.Let me help you.”

He went to her and raised his arms.

She leaned over and placed her hands on his shoulders.

He lifted her and then let her slide down his body.

“Come with me.”

His voice was deep and held an urgency she was beginning to recognize.

He took her to the stall where the hay was stored.A couple of bales had been broken apart and there was a nice soft bed of fragrant hay.

“Lay down…please but take off your bloomers first.”

Knowing what he wanted, she was more than happy to comply.

“What if someone sees us?”

“They won’t.They are either getting ready to go or have already gone to town.It’s Saturday remember.”

She removed her bloomers and then lay down, lifting the front of her dress above her waist, exposing herself.

He unbuttoned his pants and released his member, then knelt before her.

“You are so beautiful.”

He entered her and made love to her.Never forgetting her need, he reached between them, and touched her, sending her soaring to the moon and back.

She heard him groan and give one last thrust before collapsing on top of her and burying his face in her neck.Breathing hard they both lay there.

Finally, Ben got up straightened his clothes and held out his hand to her.She grasped it and he pulled her up into his arms.He lowered his head and kissed her.

“I didn’t mean for that to happen.I can’t seem to maintain control around you.When we have a chance, a moment to ourselves, I want to make love to you.”

She stepped away and pulled on her bloomers.

“You don’t find me objecting, do you?Of course not.I like making love to you as much as you do to me.”

She turned her back to him.
