“Mm-hmm,” she hums, though she looks as unsure as before. “Let’s see whatcha got.”
* * *
Kate scratches her temple,eyeing the fake bull like it’s straight out of a horror movie. After our food, we talked for a while about family and vacations and our favorite foods––and color. Finally, she couldn’t put it off any longer, suggesting we get the bull riding over with.
She was brave when we first walked over. But after seeing the line and watching person after person being thrown on their asses, I have a feeling she’s second-guessing her decision to let me introduce her to Bruce.
I catch her chewing on her thumbnail. “Are you nervous?”
Her glower deepens. “Are you sure this is a good idea?”
The person in front of her walks toward Bruce and climbs on, bumping us up to being the next in line. Kate doesn’t budge.
I press my hand against her lower back to urge her forward. “Pretty sure it’s a brilliant idea.”.
“Pretty sure you only want to see me fall on my butt,” she mutters.
“I mean, you do have a pretty cute butt.”
She looks over her shoulder at me. “Yet here you are, wanting to see me bruise it.”
“I can always kiss it better if you’d like.”
She smirks but doesn’t deem my suggestion worthy of a reply as she moves to the front of the line. Rowdy turns the bull on, adjusting the setting to easy as the girl raises one hand in the air and rides the thing like a pro. Thirty seconds later, she falls onto the soft, cushioned ground and laughs as her friends stumble in and drag her off to the dance floor.
Which means it’s Kate’s turn.
She grumbles, “I’m seriously regretting ever telling you I like to go out. You know that, right?”
“Just wait ‘til I get you on the dance floor.”
The ground in the sectioned-off area dedicated to Bruce is covered with foam, making it a soft landing when you’re thrown off the contraption. Still, it doesn’t erase the concerned lines between Kate’s brows as she stares at the bull in front of us, not bothering to climb on.
“Try it by yourself,” I suggest. “If you need help, let me know, and I’ll jump on so I can show you how to do it.”
“They let you do two riders at one time?”
“Probably not, but since I know the owner and all, I’m willing to bet he’ll make an exception.”
Unconvinced, she meets my eyes again. “And you’re sure you know how to ride this thing?”
“Yeah, I got pretty good at it. You can do this. Piece of cake.”
She takes a deep breath but nods and slowly makes her way toward Bruce as if he’s her own personal Everest. Once she’s fully seated, Rowdy turns it on, and the bull slowly jerks beneath her. The girl looks like she has a stick up her ass, her body held so tight she might literally shit a brick if she doesn’t loosen up a little.
“Move with it,” I yell, cupping my hands over my mouth.
Her eyes are wide with fear as she finds me on the sideline. “Get your ass out here or make it stop, Mack!”
Rowdy laughs behind the utility board and prods, “Go on, Mack. Let’s see what you two got.”
Well aware we’re both breaking the rules, I wait for the bull to spin around again as Kate jerks on top of the thing. Timing my footsteps, I run toward the moving bull, jump, and, thankfully, land behind her.
“Roll your hips,” I order, grabbing her waist and plastering my front against her back as the bull jerks awkwardly beneath us.
“How?” she screeches while Rowdy bumps the difficulty up a notch just to be an ass.
I exaggerate my movements, moving with the rhythm of the bull while simultaneously grinding against Kate’s round ass. And fuck. If I thought the gym was torture, this is a whole new level.
