“Are you sure?” I rub my palm over Piper’s neck so she knows I’m not upset with her.
“Yeah, I don’t want you ridin’ anymore today. You need to go rest so you don’t wake up stiff tomorrow. Trust me, been there, done that. It ain’t fun.”
I nod and then give Piper a quick kiss on her nose. “See ya soon, girl.”
With New Year’s Eve in two days, Noah’s taking off from training, so I won’t be back until after the first of the year.
I’m going to be bored, though, because I’ll be at home while Mom’s at work. The hospital is swamped this time of year, so she ends up working overtime.
Maybe I’ll make that profile on CowboyMatch after all.
At the very least, it could entertain me for a while.
Chapter Fourteen
Harlow
After taking the hottest shower possible, I change into comfy clothes and lie in bed with an ice pack underneath me. I texted Natalie that I’ll be on bedrest for a few days and that I’m making a profile to kill the time.
Of course she was excited as hell and told me toget laidbefore the end of the year.
Considering that’s in two days, she’s delusional.
I can hardly move, nevertheless have sex for the first time.
But I’m still willing to put myself out there and try—even if it bites me in my bruised ass later.
So after getting a profile up with some photos and a simple prompt—What’s something interesting about you? My obvious response:I’m a horse show jumper.
At the very least, it’ll be a fun icebreaker.
And if not, then I’ll change it.
I even added a picture of Piper and me in my show clothes.
Considering the type of app CowboyMatch is, I’m hopeful I’ll find someone with shared hobbies and interests that involve horses.
Within five minutes, my notifications pop up with responses.
Damn.That was fast.
I’d let you jump on me.
How original.Block.
I used to ride bulls…maybe we can take turns riding each other?
C for cringe.Block.
Stud horses and I have a lot in common…if ya know what I mean.
I’m a virgin, andIknow what you mean…Block.
I don’t ride horses, but I can jump pretty high. Maybe you could teach me?
Okay, that’s kinda wholesome.
I click on Brandon’s profile and see that he plays college basketball in Johnson City, which is over an hour north of here. Then I look through his photos and notice how tall he is, but he’s cute too.
