slowly, let her feel the power between her thighs, let her slowly trust both man and beast. The night air was warm around them, the scenery shrouded in darkness and lit by beams from the full moon. A perfect night for riding.
    Michael smiled as his dick twitched. A perfect night for riding her.
    He glanced over his shoulder. “You okay?”
    “More than okay. This feels amazing.”
    He smiled. “We’re only walking right now.”
    “I know, but…I don’t know, it still feels so freeing. Like we can escape and disappear into the night and no one would ever know.”
    His stomach knotted. Exactly. That was exactly what happened every time he sat in a saddle. It was freedom. His escape from troubles and concerns. A moment of peace with a powerful animal that only cared about the speed, the control, his master’s commands.
    “Are you ready to go faster?” He felt her tense behind him.
    Caroline’s hands gripped tightly at his stomach. “I think so. Yes.”
    “Keep your head up and trust me. I’m not going to let anything happen to you, okay?”
    She laughed. “Okay. God, I’m shaking.”
    “I want you to feel the horse. Feel his power. Then, when you write, you’ll be able to write from the heart. You’ll see why horses become a part of a person’s blood.” He drew in a long breath. “See why my father wants me to ride for him. And why I won’t.”
    He gripped the reins and kicked Fire forward. The horse’s power surged through him, and Michael pushed them into a canter. All the emotion, frustration, torment, and need rolled around inside him and fed through to his charge. Aware of Caroline behind him, of the feel of her body pressed against his, and the knowledge that she could help sever the tie to his father, escalated Michael’s passion to fever pitch and he urged Fire on a little harder.
    The wind blew past their faces and the trees blurred on either side of them.
    “Oh, my God. Oh, my God.”
    Michael grinned to hear joy rather than fear in Caroline’s cries. Her arms were tight and secure around him, but her head hadn’t dropped to his back in fright again. He would give anything to see her face. He imagined her eyes wide with wonder; her beautiful mouth stretched wide in a smile that she couldn’t hold back.
    “This is amazing,” she shouted. “Amazing.”
    He grinned. “Hold on.”
    “Why? What are you…oh, my God.”
    He surged forward and charged the hedge at a gallop. He tugged on the reins and Fire took off.
    “Michael!” Her shout was real…and loud in his ear.
    They landed with ease on the other side, and he pulled Fire back into a canter as he headed toward the darkness of the secluded forest ahead of them. Adrenaline rushed through his veins and heightened every sense. As they eased into a trot, he took the reins in one hand and ran the other over the white-knuckled grip at his waist.
    “Are you all right?”
    She shuddered out a laugh. “That…that was…oh, my God. Can we stop?”
    “Sure.”
    He led Fire to the edge of the forest and came to a halt. He dropped the reins and felt Caroline’s hands slide from his waist. He swung easily down to the ground and then raised his hands to ease her from the horse’s back. She gripped his forearms and he lowered her into his arms.
    She stared up at him, her eyes alive with passion and awe. She shook her head, opened her mouth to say something, closed it, and opened it again before cupping her hands to his jaw and roughly bringing his mouth to hers.

    Her body was wired with something so strong, so electric, that Caroline didn’t know what to do or say. She wanted him. Wanted to release the power, the knowledge, the passion that had risen like a tsunami inside of her. It rushed fiercely through her blood, heating her body and arousing her flesh.
    She thrust her tongue against his, taking, savoring, and owning his mouth. She glided her hands from his face to the hard plane of his shoulders, lower to grip biceps as hard as
