He slapped the spoon into his own palm and the crack made me jump. He pushed me back down to the sink and rubbed a hand up and down my back. “Settle, boy. Settle. It’s gonna hurt like fire, but you said you like it.”

“I… I do, I do, yeah, I do.”

“Good. I seem to remember, once upon a time, I liked doing it. I’d like to see if I still like it.”

I smiled in the sink, the glare of the white of it distracting me. There, my mind started racing, and I thought dozens of thoughts that didn’t connect a bit. It was the way I grew up, never settling on one thought for more than a second or two, and that happened most of my life after that.

While I braced for the impact, Noah was busy running a soft touch over the cheek of my ass. He examined me, pulling one cheek over, then the other, rubbing a thumb over my hole. I thought he was holding off on the pain until I’d grown calm.

Like breaking the horse…

Sure, getting a saddle couldn’t compare to being spanked with a wooden spoon, but I didn’t know what a saddle felt like, or a man riding my back. My backside… well, that was another story.

The first touch of the spoon was soft, and he laid it gently over my cheek, then rubbed the cool wood there.

I was tensed, waiting for the pain, but it never came. Not that time, anyway. He thew the spoon on the counter and gave me a sweet smack on the ass. “Just testin’.”

I moved from the sink, turning to him, dick out, jaw dropped, and he had pure glee in his eyes. “What?”

“I’m not ready yet. We don’t know each other all that well to get that crazy. Let’s… get to know each other a little more, in bed, that is.”

As much as I was disappointed over not feeling the pain I craved, I was elated that Noah had other plans. He wasn’t rushing into anything, letting me become totally at ease with our being together before playing with me hard.

“Put your dick away before I drop to my knees and waste half the day,” he said before kissing me and heading to the fridge to pull out the fixings for lunch.

“You’re trying to torture me. Good to know.”

“Oh, sweetheart, you’re gonna know it plain and simple when I’m ready to torture you.”

After my pants were covering my junk, I laughed at him while I buttoned them. “Oh?”

“I’m not one of those leather club hang-arounds that goes and buys pretty pink floggers and such. I use what I can get ‘hold of, within reach, like that spoon. I wasn’t lying. I’ve been looking at that spoon and thinking of your ass, but… in my own time, I’ll get to it. Now sit so we can eat and get back to work.”

Chapter Eleven

Lunchwaseatenwithsmiles, and I think I might have even felt myself blush. Sure, we were acting like love-struck teens, but it was a new and wonderful feeling for the both of us. I wanted to enjoy it as long as possible.

After the regular work was done, Noah went to exercise a couple of the horses by taking them for a ride, but told me to find something else to do. He was going to run them, and that wasn’t something I could do yet. I went to the barn to work on my bike, and that’s where I was when he found me.

I was hanging up the tools I used to work on my bike that evening when Noah came into the barn. “Is it still running okay?”

“I got all that bad gas out and refilled. Thanks for the gas, by the way.”

“Good. You’re not…”

I turned to get a better look at him and saw him staring at the bike. “Noah, I’m not leaving. I just want my bike to work because I love my bike. I’d like to go for a ride now and then.”

I didn’t want to feel like I couldn’t do that. Harvey made me feel that way.

“I know that, Eli, it’s just… I guess you saying, when you first came that you’d fix it and go…”

I went to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him tenderly. “I fixed it a few days after I got here, so it’s been fixed for weeks. I’m still here. Now, I have the promise of a beautiful man to keep me here.”

It was strange, me having to comfort him for once, but the way his husband had died, I didn’t hold that against him one bit. It felt like, for the first time, that Noah needed me as much as I needed him.

That felt good. It made all my issues smaller, in taking up Noah and his pain. Suddenly, I wanted to protect him from the world, make his life as sweet and peaceful as he’d made mine.

“Want to ride with me one day soon?”
