Page 47 of Spotlight on Poppy

They sat in silence as Josh finished up his closing duties. Josh seemed off, but Poppy was in her own head.

"What did she show you?" Josh said finally. He sounded nervous and Poppy felt the need to make it right.

"What? Nothing."

He stopped and looked at her, his eyes flooded with panic and concern. "Poppy, let me explain. It's not what you think it is."

She realized he thought she was mad at him because of what she saw. "No, it's fine, I mean yeah she did show me a video of you riding very... uhh… suggestively with a girl. I'm not sure why I said nothing. I think I’m just processing, but it's totally fine. I'm not upset at all."

"You're not?"

"No, It’s part of your job. I get it."

"You do?" he asked. He finished up behind the bar and walked around and stood close to Poppy between her legs. He put his hands on her knees. "I promise it is nothing. It’s just a way to make good tips. They have fun and tip well. Usually, they behave themselves when it's all over. I have had a time where some have tried to cross the line, but nothing has ever happened. You have to believe me." Anxiety and panic danced across his face. Poppy couldn’t stand to see him like this. She cupped his handsome face, his stubble gently scratched against her hand, and she yearned to feel that gentle scratch in other places.

"Hey," she said softly and waited until he looked into her eyes. "It's fine, I understand the difference between something you do for a job and what we have. I trust you completely. I just..." she stopped.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I guess, I just didn't know that two people could ride those things, and while I did feel jealous watching you ride with another girl and I'm not sure I ever want to watch you do that, --"

"I won't do it anymore," he answered immediately.

"I didn't say that I just don't really want to watch it, but if you still do it, it's fine with me.... I was just wondering…"

He looked at her his eyebrow raised and waited for her to say it.

"I know I'm bigger than the girl you were on that thing with, but do you think you could ride it with me?"

A slow grin crept over his face. "You want to ride with me?"

Poppy grinned at him and bit her lip. She nodded her head.

"Well, let's get you up there, princess. I'll show you how it’s done."

"You can ride that with me?" she asked.

"Without a doubt. I got you,” he said as he took her hand and pulled her to standing.

She loved to hear those words out of his mouth because she believed them so effortlessly. He really did have her and there was no doubt there.

"Have you ever ridden one before?" He walked her around to the entrance of the ring. She shook her head.

"Okay, you hop on, I'll set the time and keep it going pretty slow. Then I'll hop on. Does that sound okay?"

She nodded as he helped her on. She felt a little nervous as the thing slowly started to rock beneath her. Then she looked behind her as Josh made his way over to the bull and jumped right on. In one swift motion she felt him settle in behind her. His thighs bracketed hers and his hands found her hips. The bull started bucking a little harder beneath them, but Josh was there to anchor her. She felt the slide and caress of his thighs against hers and she had never been this turned on in her entire life.

The bull continued to rock beneath them, one of his hands stayed planted firmly on her hip anchoring her hips to his own as he rode masterfully. His other hand began to explore her body as he kissed down her neck. With each rock of the bull, it started to hit her in all the right places. The sinful feel of his hips rocking into her, his mouth on her neck and his other now squeezing her breast had her so worked up. A moan escaped her lips.

"You like this?" he rasped in her ear.

"Yes," she sputtered out trying to catch her breath, her mind unable to focus. She was filled with so much desire.

"Are you as turned on as I am, princess?"

"Yes," she said.

He brought her arms up so they could reach behind her and hold onto him. "Hold on," he whispered. Then his hands traced down the side of her body as his thighs held her firmly in place. His hand found the button of her jeans and he started to undo them. "Is this okay?" he asked.
