“It will be a mess when this rain stops,” he muttered. “I sure hope it dries out by the weekend. I don’t want my clinic happenin’ in mud.”

“Will you have to keep the horses in the barn?”

“They’ll be able to go back out tomorrow. This storm should pass pretty quick.”

“That’s the problem with fall. I do love it, but the weather can be so unpredictable.”

“Like colts,” he remarked, turning around and frowning at her. “I didn’t tell you to stay in the barn just because I was worried about you gettin’ wet. I didn’t want you anywhere near River. If you don’t know what you’re doin’ you shouldn’t be around a frightened young horse.”

“Oh…sorry…I should have realized.”

“It’s okay,” he said, softening his voice and sitting next to her. “I’m guessin’ you haven’t been in a situation like this in a while.”

“Not at all,” she exclaimed. “I mean, I don’t remember being here and having to bring the horses in during thunder and lightning. In fact, I don’t remember ever being around horses in weather like this.”

“It’s okay, darlin’, but from now on when I tell you to do something just do it. I’ll have my reasons. I can always explain later, but I might not have the time at that moment.”

“I understand.”

“Now, about that promise. Since I don’t want us runnin’ back to the house and gettin’ drenched all over again I think this is as good a place as any to put you over my knee.”

“When you talk like that…” she mumbled, dropping her eyes.

“When I talk like that, what?”

“I get butterflies and goosebumps.”

“And you also get a hot butt,” he exclaimed, sitting next to her and placing his arm at her back. “You know what to do.”

As she crawled across his lap and settled into position, Brody felt his cock begin to stiffen, and he had no doubt if he were to touch between her legs he’d find her wet and wanting.

But their mutual craving for Dominance and submission was only part of the attraction between them. The affection they’d felt for each other since they were kids had grown into a deep and abiding love. Sliding the track pants down her legs and exposing her naked charms, he wondered how he’d managed to get through weeks and months without her. But she shifted on his lap, snapping him from his thoughts.

“On a scale of one to ten,” he began as he always did, “what will it take you to get the stars out of your eyes and bring you back to reality?”

“Not even one,” she replied. “Being like this…it’s enough. In fact, just being in the barn with you is enough. But making sure I’ll behave myself over the next few days, I’m guessing somewhere between five and seven.”

“Because?” he pressed, loving her response.

“Because—and I don’t know why—I’m feeling particularly naughty.”

“Ah, I see. Then I’d better make sure I turn this pale skin bright red,” he declared, smoothing his palm over her cheeks.

Hearing her gasp, he waited a moment to draw out the anticipation, then pinched her flesh a few times, evoking a wriggle.

“Stay still!”

As she gasped again, he moved his hand from cheek to cheek landing several hard slaps.

“You will behave, won’t you, Annie?” he asked, pausing for a moment.

“I’ll do my best.”

“Let’s try that again,” he said with a grin, delivering a volley of stinging swats on her right cheek.

“Ow, ow. You can stop now.”

“I’m only half done,” he declared, spanking the left equally as hard. “There. Will you behave?”
