“What? Tell me!”

“I’ve always dreamed of something like this.”

With a sudden surge of energy flowing through his loins, he smacked her opposite cheek.

“Ask for more.”

“Ohh, please, Blake will you spank me?”

With excitement surging through his loins he delivered his flattened palm from cheek to cheek, continuing until she was bleating and wriggling and her skin was hot pink.

“What do you say?” he demanded.

“I, uh, I’m not sure.”

“Thank me.”

“Oh, yes, yes, sorry, thank you, Sir.”

He hadn’t asked for theSir,and it told him she’d explored the dark, sultry world of Dominance and submission. The world he’d embraced for many years. Overjoyed, he began pumping with vigor.

“You know you have to ask before you’re allowed to come.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Her reply heightened the excitement already coursing through him, and he knew it wouldn’t be long before his orgasmwould be threatening. Guided by her cries, he quickened his pace, but feeling his moment looming he thought he’d have to slow down.

“Please, Sir, may I come.”

“Yes,” he growled urgently, relieved she had reached her moment just as he had. “Give it to me now.”

Gazing at her reddened cheeks and listening to her wails of pleasure, he surrendered to the sparkling climax shuddering through his body.

CHAPTER NINE

After snuggling together in the post-orgasmic bliss, they shared a quick shower then headed into the kitchen. Heather had never been happier and she could see a sexy twinkle in Blake’s eyes. But as they devoured the delicious dinner the conversation centered around Henry.

“I’d like him to just hang out in a paddock for a couple of days and enjoy his new environment,” Blake said thoughtfully. “He needs to know he’s among friends and you and I should be the only ones to handle him, at least for the moment.“

“I was just thinking the same thing,” Heather agreed. “But there’s something else. He’s been clipped, and with the weather changing he’ll need a blanket. Apollo’s won’t fit.”

“I’m not sure I have anything his size either, but I’ll order a couple. They deliver so fast now, and bein’ fall there are sales everywhere.”

“Okay, but maybe I should run into town and find something anyway. I don’t want him to be cold.”

“The tack store will be closin’ any time now. When we pick him up we can ask Buck if he has one we can borrow. But Heather, I’d like us to be in this together. I want to pay for this stuff,” he added, lowering his voice. “I know you don’t have —”

“I can manage.”

“Let me finish.”

“Sorry.”

“I’m sure you’d figure it out,” he said, reaching for her hand, “but Henry is a fabulous mover, and with the right trainin’ he could be very successful. I want to work with both of you with an eye to the show ring.”

“I’m not sure I understand.”

“This place is doin’ okay, but it could do a whole lot better. If Henry does as well as I believe he can it would put Three Oaks Ranch on the map. The other guys here in Smoky Hill have been around a while and they’ve built up their barns. I’ve only been here a couple of years.”
