To Be Yours Again

---

MONALISA I’m starting to feel angry that I keep throwing myself at him. It badly hurt my pride. I had simply thought we would do what married couple do. Even people that weren’t married do this so what was his problem?! If he wanted to play this game, then I was ready too. I was not about to jeopardize my reputation by having an affair with someone else. But I was going to push him to his limit. He might be so strange right now but he was a man afterall. Just how long could he say no to this body of mine? “I heard there is a stable at the resort. We could go horse riding. Do you like horse riding?” He asked, changing the topic. “I used to love it when I was a child...I think my dad taught me how to ride a horse then but I don’t remember a thing about it anymore.” “If you’ll like to come, I could teach you.”He offered. Sighing, I agreed. “Fine.”

I stared at Enzo as he expertly rode a horse around the corral. I never knew someone could feel both scared and excited at the same time. I was scared of riding the same horse with Enzo and excited because I had always wanted to go horse riding again, it was fun. He had introduced me to the head trainer Lucas Midriani, a few minutes back. Now, dressed in a floral shorts and a cotton top, I stared at Enzo as he walked the horse to the railing. "See, it’s not so bad, I promise you won’t fall off." He assured and before I could speak, he reached over and wrapped his arms around my waist, plucking me from the railing and onto the horse.

I gasped. “Enzo, I...” Sometimes I wonder how he could be so relaxed with me and touch me as he likes...but once it came down to kissing and sex...he acts like a complete pussy. Or was that really how he is? He might be serious about getting to know a woman well enough before bedding her. “This is making think of the times I often visit the Sheriff’s house to..." He paused and I thought that piece of information wasn’t necessary as he held my slender body in front of his. “Now, swing your leg over the saddle... that’s it.” He coaxed. “Just sit down in front of me" He gave me the saddle and he slipped onto the rump of the horse. I tried not to let him see how scared I was. He wrapped his arms around my rib cage, just under my breasts and my body stirred instantly. God! Was that how he was going to teach me?. "I want to get down.” I said, tensely. “Mona, you have to know that I won’t let anything happen to you.” He whispered against my ear, his chest pressed against my back. I somehow like how he was right now. He patted the horse neck. "Hey, Rex here is a sweet guy, aren’t you, buddy?" The animal raised his head up and whinnied loudly. Despite myself, I laughed and finally relaxed my back against him. “How do you know his name?” “Lucas told me.” . He took the reins and moved closer to me. “This is fun.” I let out. “It’s more fun if you take the reins.” He demonstrated how to hold the leather straps. “Now, you’re in control" “What do I do?"

"Rex and most horses responds to both touch and voice commands, if you move the reins right or left, he’ll go in that direction. Make a clicking sound with your tongue and he walks. Kick your heels into his side and he’ll take off. Tug on the reins and he’ll stop.” “Now, show me what you got, Cowgirl.”He cooed. I mentally warned myself not to get too comfortable around him. He watched me go through the routine. I was pretty pleased with myself once I had circled the corral on my own. "Pretty good for a greenhorn.” He commented. I sucked in a breath. “I’m pretty good at everything I do.” I said and looked over my shoulder. Our eyes met and sealed for a long moment. “Sometimes,I look at you and I can’t stop seeing you as an angel...you’re very pretty.” I hate compliments but I can’t help but smile at this one. “But that’s until you speak though...then I would realize you’re an extremely rude angel.” Rude angel? I laughed and smacked his arm.
