Equine Snippet

by Pookie

The quiet of the night was only interrupted by the sound of water splashing against bare legs. They rode hard and fast, their legs drenched by the cold dark sea. The feel of their bodies so close and so warm, the flexing of the strong and supple muscles under her was simply intoxicating. She reached for the coarse and sweat-covered hair in front of her and whispered hoarsely into attentive ears. “Yes… That’s it... Faster now.” The whispered command was immediately answered as he accelerated, his stamina seeming endless.

A sudden strong wave sent an old wooden plank crashing against their legs, startling the pair. He suddenly reared up in surprise, his powerful movement sending her flying into the waters. She felt the sharp sting of the freezing waters against her boiling skin, numbing and exciting her senses all at once. She slowly stood back up, her soaked clothing clinging to her lithe body, salty drops dripping from her every strand of hair. In front of her stood her horse, calmed from his scare by a hidden figure. A soft feminine voice soon reached her, making her smile. “You really should get of out those clothes before you catch a cold...”

A drop of seawater slid down to her lips and she automatically licked it away, her eyes not leaving the newcomer. “I guess you’re right,” she answered with a mischievous grin.
