Georgie wiggled his lips over hers.

"Jeez," I said, pretending to be offended, "no way can I compete with a Georgie kiss. He's never done that to me."

She grinned, the brilliant expression aimed at me. "You're the only big strapping male I let kiss me with tongue."

"Well, at least I've got one thing on them." I laid a hand on Lenny's chest and pushed. "Back, Lenny. Come on, back up." When the horse walked backward a few paces, I patted his neck. "Good boy. Now, let Georgie have his turn first. I know Heidi's irresistible, but she can only brush one of you at a time."

"I'm irresistible?" Heidi said.

"Absolutely." I rubbed Georgie's forehead. "Males of any species are putty in your hands."

"Maybe I'll test that hypothesis later and knead you like putty."

Oh yeah, that sounded wonderful. My dick definitely loved the idea since it jerked the second I pictured Heidi kneading my body with those sexy hands.

"Start brushing," I told her. "To these guys, it's like a day at the spa. I'll be right beside you the entire time."

Heidi began brushing Georgie's neck, tentatively at first, then she relaxed into the task. She looked at ease, like skimming a brush over a horse's coat was the most soothing thing she'd ever done. I loved brushing animals. It always made me feel the way Heidi looked right now. Once Heidi had brushed Georgie all over, even his rump, she walked over to Lenny and gave him the same treatment.

I stayed with Georgie, to keep him out of the way.

Once Heidi finished with Lenny, we walked back out the gate.

"You brushed a horse all by yourself," I said. "That's a big step."

She shrugged one shoulder. "You were right next to me the whole time."

"Not when you brushed Lenny. I stayed with Georgie then."

"I know. But you were close by." She kissed my cheek. "Thank you, Damian. It's good to get over at least one fear, but I know I still have more of them to deal with."

"One step at a time, that's the best way to do it."

She wrapped her arms around my waist, pressing her body to mine. "Let's go play chess."

I pulled my head back, gazing at her with a new appreciation. "You really aren't an airhead bimbo, are you?"

She gave my ankle a gentle kick. "Hey, that's not a very nice thing to say. Did you ever think I was an airhead bimbo?"

"No, but I'm sure that's what a lot of the dickwads you dated thought. From what you've said, they sure didn't treat you like a mature, intelligent, sexy-as-hell woman."

"What does 'sexy as hell' have to do with being smart?"

"Nothing. I threw that in there because you've got your hot body glued to mine." I linked my hands at the small of her back. "Not that I'm complaining."

"Have you changed your mind about sex?"

"No. So we'd better play chess. Anything sexier than that will give me a hard-on for sure."

"Okay." She kissed me on the mouth this time. "Prepare to be annihilated on the chessboard."

She took off down the trail.

And I raced after her with Heidi's laughter echoing through the woods.
