“Don’t test me.”

The stage lights up over the bucking moose. Sure enough, Easton, who’s been on my tail-pipe for a while, is leading the charge to get in there. It’s true, I only ride the thing when I have to. And it’s been a while. No one even gets close.

“I’m going to give you a run for your money one day, you’ll see.” The promise behind her words is evident because they’re a little more forceful than before.

“Maybe I need to show this little princess how it’s done.”

“Do your worst,” she throws my words back at me.

I chuckle and finally let her go. “One day when I need to, I will. This is a moose, after all. You know I’m an eight second rodeo champion, right?”

“Good to know those hips are good for something.”

If she were mine, I’d spank her on the butt for toying with me like this and hopefully it would leave a little pink mark for making me so fucking hard and frustrated and not being able todo a damned thing about it. But she’s not mine, and there will be no spanking and no pink anything.

“I think you enjoy toying with me,” I grunt.

“Only because you’re so easily riled. Now, if you don’t mind, I need to get back to my friends and contemplate if I should challenge the moose tonight or not.”

“Be my guest, if you really want to.”

But I meant every word. I don’t really want her riding the moose, even though I know she would out of defiance, and she’s done it before. But not tonight.

Tonight, I want her to just keep that pretty little body on safe ground. Hurting herself right before we have to go away wouldn’t be a good thing.

Right before we have to go away.Why does that sound so fucking good?

I’m not one for the red eye, so how’s Friday for you?

I’m lying in bed the next morning, knowing I need to get up but there’s something tenting under the covers that is not going to settle until I let it out.

Me

Good morning to you too

A message quickly flies back.

GB

You keep nagging at me to tell you the flight arrangements. Are you good with that or not?

Me

You’d know if I was nagging you. So Friday?

GB

Yep I mean the wedding is Saturday so if we get there early Friday we can get settled in and have a few days after the wedding. Lucky for you there’s an adjoining room where you can keep close tabs on me

I type my next response without hesitation.

Me

Lucky me
