“That was amazing. You looked incredible,” Naomi breathes out when I walk up to her and Bex.
“And that’s what makes him a champion.” Bex rolls her eyes.
“But in all the years that Bex and I have been together, I don’t think she’s ever gotten quite as good at explainin’ rodeo ropin’ to anyone as me,” I tease.
“That’s not fair. You’re literally sitting on the damn horse for the whole thing. I’m in the stands. Cut me some slack,” Bex says sternly.
I turn back to the guys, then address the women. “I’m gonna wrap up with them and then head in to shower. Sound good?”
Bex shoves me playfully. “Go on. Brag and boast in front of the boys. You know you want to.”
I shake my head. “I’d rather get my praise from some very pretty girls in private, birdie.”
The guys are buzzing with energy when I approach them, and I receive several slaps on the back. A quick glance over my shoulder at the girls reveals two gorgeous, voluptuous rear ends retreating from the arena. I watch them out of the corner of my eye until they pass between the metal bars and are headed back to the house.
When everything is wrapped up and I’m finally back at the house, I find Bex and Naomi cuddled on the couch, doing crafts of some kind, something with yarn or thread.
Naomi does a double take when I enter and is immediately on her feet to greet me.
“So. How does it work?” she asks.
I chuckle. “You gonna turn into a buckle bunny if I tell you?”
Naomi gives Bex an adorable look, which says she’s completely out of her depths.
“A girl who chases after rodeo cowboys, bunny.” Bex laughs.
“No?” Naomi says hesitantly.
“Promise?”
“Yes, she promises, Alvie. Just get on with it.” Bex rolls her eyes. I love seeing her when she’s sassy like this.
“So you want to know about ropin’?”
“Yes?” Naomi says, her voice tipping up at the end in a question.
“Be sure, bunny, because there’s no going back after you’ve had a cowboy.”
Naomi’s cheeks flush as she nods.
“Tie-down roping is a competition inspired by the method that we use to gather cattle, mostly for medical treatment or branding when chutes and pens aren’t available.” I take a step into her space. “It requires horse and rider to be completely in sync, working together to catch and tie-down a runaway calf, which is always allowed a head start. When the calf gets a certain distance away, we go after it together. You saw the rest.”
“Is it always so . . .”
“So what?” Bex asks, coming up behind Naomi.
“Hot?” Naomi replies with a glance over her shoulder to Bex.
“You like that,” I purr into her ear. “The idea of having me throw you down and tie you up tight. Don’t you, bunny?”
“Yes,” she answers breathlessly, caught between my wife and me.
“Be sure when you answer me.”
“Yes. I want that.”
“Have you ever played with bondage before?” I prowl farther into her space, and she steps back, bumping into Bex.
