together, I knew she was strong, but damn...not many people could have pulled that off. My heart ached for them, I knew they must be dealing with a boatload of emotions—of Titanic proportions.
“Alex and I are going to start practising for team roping, did he tell you?” Blaine ask ed me while he shoved a piece of pizza into his mouth.
“He mentioned something. Isn't there a lot of work involved? I mean, can you really even ride a horse Alex?”
Alex looked at me like I had hurt his feelings. “Actually, Riley, yes.”
“Well! Why haven't we gone for a ride then?” I ask ed, pretending to be wounded.
“He's getting pretty good. Why don't we see if Sadee can babysit a night this week and we'll all go out,” Blaine suggest ed, and Addison beamed at me.
“Okay, let's do that.” I smile d, slightly nervous as I hadn’t ridden a horse in over a decade. I don't want to embarrass myself, or heaven forbid, let Alex show me up.
“Addy, can I still ride Jax?”
She smiled. “Of course.”

On Thursday morning Alex w oke me up by spooning his body into mine and slowly pushing down my pajama shorts. He caressed my behind slowly and traveled his hand down in between my legs, rubbing me gently to stimulate and perk up my senses.
I didn’t open my eyes, but I curled my lips into a smile and let out a soft moan.
“Hi, babe,” he coo ed into my ear, kissing the back of my neck and shoulder.
“ Hi ,” I breathed.
All the nerve endings in my body flip ped on like a dashboard full of switches; lights and alarms start blinking and screaming. All systems are a go, please fasten your seat belts. My, oh my, this is a beautiful way to wake up.
He was all the way inside of me, slowly pulling back and easing right back into my warmth. Alex greedily bit and sucked on my shoulder and moaned huskily. His breath was hot on my skin, and his hand was even hotter on the sensitive flesh of my breast. His other arm cradled my head under my pillow, reaching his hand around and holding my hand in his.
I pull ed his fingers to my face and kissed them lovingly. “I love you,” I moaned, ready to fall apart around him.
“I love you,” he breathe d, between kisses on my skin. “You feel so good, baby. Pull your knees up.”
I please d him by doing what he asked and I lifted my knees up to my stomach, the penetration deepened so deliciously by doing this, I almost screamed.
“Ohhhh, shit,” Alex roar ed. His girth widening me and pushing even deeper, as if it were even possible. He let go of my breast and reached down to grip my behind, digging his fingers into my skin so hard that it sends me reeling.
I turn ed my face into the pillow and let all my lust-filled cries out, heaving and pulsing through a wickedly perfect orgasm.
“Is there someone I can talk to about getting a wake-up call like this one every morning?” I smile d and rolled over to face him once he pulled slowly out of me.
He laugh ed, holding his hands on his heaving chest. “Well, I'll be sure to remember for tomorrow morning.”
“At least I am all nice and limber for today.” I grinned. “You know I haven't ridden a horse in like, forever, right?”
Alex laugh ed softly. “Yeah, this should be good.”
“Hey! Don't be mean.”
“I could never be mean to you, I love you.” He crinkled his forehead, making me think I had hurt his feelings somehow.
“I know, babe. I was kidding.”
Sadee was already at the house when we arrive, she was sitting outside with Seth, swinging on the bench on the porch.
“Hey, guys! Hi, Scarlett. Ready for a fun day with me and Seth?” Sadee smile d and reached for Scarlett who crawled up the steps and walked right into her arms. “Addison and Blaine are over there.”
“I've got my phone on me, if you need me.”
Alex snorted. “She'll be fine, Ry.”
I glare d at him. “I know.”
Blaine ha d four horses saddled by the time we got over to the field. Addison held out the reigns attached to
