Page 22 of Healing Her Cowboys
He continued to massage her sweet area and stuck two fingers in. She rocked her hips and moaned.
“Not enough,” she whispered.
He was happy to oblige as he lowered his tongue to her clit. She quickly grabbed his hair, pulling him closer to her. He opened his mouth and sucked with a steady rhythm that matched his fingers.
Damn, she tasted so sweet. Only he and Atlas would ever get to savor it. Her moans became louder as she ground against him to seek her release. She let out a loud moan, and he lapped up every bit of essence she offered.
When he moved away from her, he finally reached for his drawer to find what he needed to fuck her properly. She wasn’t leaving his bedroom anytime soon.
Chapter Eleven
“She's so adorable. I can’t believe we helped deliver her.” Reese and Atlas watched as the new filly suckled milk from her mother.
“That’s one of the great things about running a ranch,” Atlas said. “You get to experience life in new ways.”
Reese leaned closer to Atlas as the small filly sniffed around, exploring her small world with the confidence of a much larger horse.
“I’ve always wondered what it was like to be a mom,” she murmured, her voice soft with admiration. “There’s something so pure about watching a baby learn about the world.”
“Do you want to have kids?” he asked her.
She smiled. “When I was little, I wanted a dozen of them. When I got older and realized all the effort that was involved, Ilowered it to two. Believe it or not, I haven’t really thought about having a family, not with the time I’ve been traveling.”
“What do you think about them now?”
She smiled as she watched him move his fingers over the stall door nervously. “Atlas Collins, are you asking if I want to have kids with you?”
“No! I mean, maybe. I’m just curious.”
Reese chuckled. “Why don’t you ask me again in a few months?”
He smiled back at her. “That I can do.”
Lori made her way towards them.
“Hi there,” Reese said.
Lori nudged Reese's hand with her muzzle. She looked over at Atlas.
“She likes you,” he said. “That’s her way of asking you to scratch behind her ears. It’s her favorite spot.”
Reese lifted her hand and scratched behind Lori’s ears as the horse nodded her head in approval. “You like being a new mama?” she asked.
As if on command, Lori nodded her head.
“I’ll take that as a yes,” Reese said. “I never thought I could like animals so much, especially horses.”
“Why not? You seem like you’d make a great pet owner.”
“The thought of caring for them just scared me a bit. I already saw some of my patients die after looking after them, and that was hard. I can’t imagine loving and caring for an animal just watch it leave you.” She didn’t add that it felt like it would have been too hard after losing her parents. Reese never wanted to experience a loss like that again if she could help it.
Atlas pulled her in close. “One thing being on this ranch has taught me is that life is all about cycles. Life and death are both part of those cycles, no matter how hard we try to run from them. I love watching these animals and seeing them come intotheir own. I cherish it every day because I know how precious life is and how quickly it can get snatched away. That doesn’t mean you have to fear it.”
She peered up at him. “You’re full of profound wisdom today, aren’t you?”
“Is it helping?” he asked, kissing the top of her head.
“I guess it is.”
