“Not exactly. He knows we’re going to the ranch, and he’s good with it. He and Zeus have come to an understanding with each other. You’re sure you can handle a spirited horse?”

“I understand that these are show horses and race horses. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden, but I feel fairly certain I’ll be okay.”

“Fairly certain?” She looked at him a second, considering. “Why don’t we start with both of us together — I have a saddle that’ll handle both of us easily. I know, you’re a big Dom and like to be in control, but my horses are...well... I don’t break them in the way most people prefer. I looked for a long time before I found a ranch manager I knew would take care of my horses with the same philosophy I have.”

“Wait, you own the ranch? I thought you just boarded your horses there?”

“Nope, it’s all mine. Lucky for me, Jonah is great with the horsesandhe has good business sense. He’s good enough at his job that I have the luxury of just checking in a few times a week, usually while I’m there to ride. Most of the income is from boarding and training horses for other people at this point. My horses have done well, but so far not well enough so our winnings can support the ranch. Jonah gets room and board, a modest salary, plus a third of the ranch’s net income after expenses at the end of the year. The rest goes towards maintenance and improvements.” This gave Jonah extra incentive to keep expenses down, and to keep the paying customers happy.

“So you don’t take an income?” Marcus asked.

“I don’t have to pay someone else to board my horses. The fact it pays for itself and keeps growing is enough, for now. I plan to start hosting six to ten adventure weekends a year, and at that point I expect some personal income will happen. I already have the climbing wall, though it may need to be expanded, and I’m considering adding a zip line when that happens. There are a few entrances to the underground caverns that run under the property, so we can offer some caving for those so inclined. Adding a few skydiving jumps one afternoon rounds out an impressive adventure weekend. All I really need is a few more guest rooms. I have three now, and those are often occupied by people wanting to train long hours with their horse before a big show. I figure another six rooms will be a good start. I’ve done two adventure weekends so far, and provided tents. As a feasibility experiment, both weekends were a roaring success, but I need toilet facilities on that end of my property before I do it again.”

She’d felt Kyle stiffen when she mentioned the climbing wall, and now he asked about it. “Climbing wall? Is that what Marcus was talking about when he asked if you’d told me about tomorrow?”

“I’m going to show you how safe it is — how the mechanism that keeps you from falling works — and then I’m going to let you try it. You’re going to ride up to it on Zeus and put a piece of tape as high as you can reach, and then I’ll want you to climb up and remove the tape.”

“Oh. That’s...” He relaxed behind her. “I’ve fallen off a horse and survived. Zeus is pretty tall, but if I think of it as not being any higher than I was earlier in the day, I think I can do that. Thank you for thinking of it that way.”

“You’re welcome. Marcus says we need to do it two to three times a week, adding at least six or twelve inches every time you climb.”

His hand tensed on her stomach. “I knew there’d be a catch.”

Heather looked at Marcus, wanting him to say something, and Marcus looked at Kyle a few seconds before telling him, “Don’t worry about the future. Tomorrow is about reaching the same height as you are while sitting on a horse. If you do that, we’ll consider tomorrow a rousing success.”

Rather than agree or disagree, Kyle changed the subject. “Speaking of rousing successes, what did you do to Heather? She seems to have really embraced her Dom side during your trip to the cabin.”

Heather turned to lie on her back so she could see both men, and she looked up at Kyle. “So it was good? I mean, you had a hard-on, so I figured you were good with it, and you’re right — Ireallygot into it. Still, I worried a little, that maybe it was too much? I was pretty rough on your nipples, and I know I made you wait a long time for your orgasm.”

Kyle shook his head. “Nothing was even close to too much. It was great. I really felt as if I belonged to you, and I got to stretch my limits, to challenge myself in order to follow your orders. Thank you. It was perfect.”

Kyle’s sky-blue eyes were clear and bright, and she believed him. Kyle had never lied to her. He’d always been there for her, as a friend, and now a lover.

She’d never expected to be able to call someone that and mean it, and now she had two people who fit the definition.

“I love you, Kyle. I started out doing this to make you happy, but I’ve discovered a part of myself I never knew existed. And now, what makes you happy is also making me happy.”

Marcus chuckled. “That’s the way it’s supposed to work. You find someone with complementary kinks, and everyone gets what they need. For my part, I love taking you places you’ve never been before, giving you new experiences and sensations.”

“What happens when you’ve shown it all to me? Will you get bored with me?”

“Not a chance. For one thing, it’ll be years before we run out of new things to try, but mostly, it’s kind of like the climbing wall. Each time you go a little farther than the time before. Couples who’ve been together ten or more years often do what’s perceived as some really extreme things, but to them, they’ve gotten there gradually, adding a little here and there, so it doesn’t seem so extreme to them.”

Heather awakened the next morning to hands massaging her breasts. She opened her eyes to discover Marcus massaging her right breast while Kyle worked her left one. She reached her arms over her head, stretching her body from her fingertips to toe tips, and left her arms up. “I’d say the two of you are insatiable, but that might make it sound like I thought it was a bad thing.”

Kyle laughed and leaned in to suck on her nipple, and she gave a long, low groan when the suction pulled her flesh farther into his mouth, and his tongue circled the nipple.

“Have ya’ll already worked this out, or are you going to draw straws to see who goes where?”

Marcus chuckled. “Why don’t we turn you over and put you on your hands and knees. I’m sure Kyle can figure out what to do at the back end, and I’d like to feel your mouth, if you’re up to it.”

“You’ve never—” she cut herself off because it sounded crude in her head, but she needed to ask the question, so she found another way. “You’ve only been in my mouth and my rear. Maybe you can fix that this morning, and I can torture Kyle with my mouth?”

He took a few seconds to answer. “We need to have a discussion, but can we do it later? I promise an explanation over breakfast, okay?”

Heather sat up. “Fine, then let’s eat.”
