He chuckles. “It’s worth it.”

I turn back and take the reins. I offer my hand to Magnus and let him smell me before I run my hand over his nose and up his face. He’s already saddled now. When we’re done with the ride, I’ll unsaddle him and groom him. I’ll touch him more and we can get to know each other better.

“Let’s roll,” Dad says loud enough for everyone to hear.

It takes a few minutes to get everyone mounted. Dad leads the way. Wrath and I wind up in the middle. While my brothers are bringing up the rear. That way, the experienced riders are interspersed and can help if needed.

The birds are singing. The sun is shining. It's a beautiful day and I’m a married woman. I’m married and this is my honeymoon.How fucking wild is that?

We chat as we traverse the wooded trails. Cades Cove is one of my favorite places on the planet. It’s like seeing the face of God. So peaceful. And with such beauty. I love being out in nature. Doing it on horseback makes it even better. At least for me. It’s heaven. I wonder if this is how Wrath feels about riding motorcycles. It’s exhilarating.

Chapter 21

Wrath

Yesterday was a lot of fun. It ended up with pizza in the cabin and a soak in the hot tub. We were too tired to make love last night, so we cuddled. This morning we’re headed to a place called The Apple Barn for breakfast.

After that, the parents are doing who knows what. The men are going riding. Sleds, not horses, and the women are going shopping.

“I’m ready, baby,” Millie calls as she comes down the stairs.

My heart beats faster. It happens every time I see her. She’s, my sunshine.

“I’m hungry.”

She laughs. “You eat a lot. I’m going to have to get used to meal prep when we get home.”

“I’m used to doing meal prep alone. It’ll be nice to have someone to do it with. Are you going to go to the gym with me?”

“I am. After this vacation, I’m going to need it. If not, my ass is going to need its own zip code.”

I grab her ass with both hands. “I love this ass.”

She giggles. “Tonight, you can show me how much.”

“Oh, I plan on it, woman.”

“Good,” she says before sashaying out the door and down the walk. She puts an extra swing in her hips as she walks. I watch her ass bounce, by its perfection.

My cock’s rock hard by the time she reaches the pavement. God damn, I’m going to have blue balls all day.

“Sassy vixen,” I say, catching up to her and pulling her to me.

“Your sassy vixen.”

“Yes, you are. All mine. And tonight, I’m going to fuck that ass while you scream my name.”

“Promise?”

“I promise, Nightingale.”

“I’m tempted to cancel today.”

I chuckle. “The anticipation will make the orgasm that much better.”

She pretends to pout, then pops up on her tiptoes and gives me a quick kiss. I open the door for her, fastening her seat belt before closing the door and getting into the passenger side. It’s a short drive, less than twenty minutes. Lisa called ahead and made reservations since there’s two dozen of us.
