They circle each other.

"Let me be specific.What's the name of the stallion you bought to breed or fuck?"I ask her.

"His registered name is Diamond Cocoa, but they call him Flash.Now I know why.He's gone in a flash!It's like he has been playing tag with me or something.When I first came out here with the halter and lead, he would run by me just out of reach, so I dropped it."She points over at a small pile in the dirt."Then I thought I would pet him and let him get used to me until you got here.But he ain't having none of that."

"Have you tried whistling?"

Ann and Aurei both laugh at me and drop the MMA battle.Ann turns to look at me with her hands on her hips, then points at my boots."And here I thought you were an experienced Cowgirl with those boots.Did you buy them on eBay?"

I laugh with them."No."

Aurei informs me."Siri, horses are not like dogs.They aren't pets.You don't whistle, and they come to you."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Are you sure about that?Would you be willing to bet on it?"

"Hmm, I smell trickery.I don't know.What do you think, Ann, should I bet on it?I've already lost one today."

"Leave me out of it!But I'm recording her whistling for a horse!"

"OK.Let's bet."He smirks at me.

"If I win, I get to do something with you that I've been dreaming of doing with just the right partner."I raise my eyebrows and put my tongue in the corner of my mouth."A… dance with you."

"A dirty dance?"His eyes crinkle in the corners.Ann lifts her head from her phone, paying close attention now as she watches Aurei.

I cut my eyes at her.She is all ears, so I lower my voice."A 'not vanilla' acrobatic dance."

He grins at me."I'll take that bet."

Ann pokes her nose in."What kind of dance?"

"Dirty dancing, Sis."

"God!"She rolls her eyes.

Jumping down, I offer my hand for him to shake.He clasps it, pumps it once, then pulls me to him."And if you lose?Don't you want to know what the consequences are?"

"I never bet unless I know I won't lose."

"Well, I'm going to tell you anyway.If you lose and I win, I get to do something with you that I've been dreaming of doing with just the right partner."

I glance at Ann, who is texting on her phone, ignoring us."I hope it involves something dirty too."

"It does."He lays his mouth on my ear."Look at me."When I look into his eyes, they pierce me, and I bite my bottom lip."If I win, you fly with me to Italy."

"What?"I ask, astounded."Italy?"

"Affirmative.Italy."

"That's not fair."I slap his chest.

He is genuinely surprised at my comment and asks, "What's not fair about it?"

"Aurei!"I put my hands on my hips."Now Iwantto lose."
