Like we’d been doing for weeks.
“I’m sorry I yelled at you,” I heard her say softly.
“I’m sorry I yelled back,” I told her. “And I’ll try to quit being so uptight about, well, everything.”
“No. You be you. I married you, quirks and all, and I understand why you’re that way.”
“Hell, I don’t understand why I’m that way.”
“You jumped into parenthood when you had barely hit puberty. Your life was chaos and I blame your dad for that. You had to grow up way too fast because your life was out of control,” Sierra shrugged. “You learned to control the things you can. In the house, when you’re agitated about the girls or something, you sit down and work on your puzzle. Because all the pieces have a spot and they fit. Everything has a specific place and you can make it work. I think that’s why you sculpt. You can make it into anything you want and have absolute control of the outcome.”
“Makes sense,” I shrugged, realizing she was probably onto something. “I like for things to be just right and sometimes I can’t stop myself from making everything just so.”
“I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
“We scared the girls tonight.”
“Fuck,” I tossed my rag up onto the shelf. “I’m just screwing up right and left, aren’t I?”
“They’re fine. I talked to them.”
“I’ll go in and apologize.”
“Do it tomorrow. I already sent them to bed,” Sierra stood up and walked over to me, the width of the saddle the only thing between us now. “I think I might be pregnant, Rowdy.”
“Really?” I felt my heart start to race and I could hear the blood rushing through my ears. I got lightheaded and grabbed the saddle in front of me. “You’re pregnant?”
“I think so. Maybe.”
“Wow.”
“We talked about it that one time and we even planned for it when we allocated the money, but never really touched on it again. We didn’t resolve anything and I’ve been on the pill, so I didn’t really think about it.”
“I’m happy.”
“You are?” Sierra whispered.
“You’re not?”
“Yeah,” Sierra smiled and reached up to wipe the tears off her face. “I am.”
“We’re both off tomorrow. I’ll take you to the doctor. We’ll find out for sure.”
“Okay.”
“Can I hold you?”
“Please.”
I moved around the saddle and pulled Sierra into my arms for a tight hug. Her body was warm against mine and fit perfectly against me. I imagined that in a few months, her belly would stick out and we’d have to adjust, but I couldn’t wait for that.
“I’m really happy,” I told her as I leaned down for a kiss. “Really fucking happy.”
“I can tell,” Sierra laughed. “I felt that happiness rise exponentially, as a matter of fact.”
“I love you,” I kissed her deeper this time, tilting her head by cupping my hand on the back of her head. Her arms came up around me and I felt her leg lift up to my hips just before she rubbed her sex against me.
I reached down and picked her up by her hips and her legs wrapped around me. I walked us over to the nearest wall and pressed against her as I reached between us to undo my belt and jeans. When I was free, I pulled up the loose skirt she was wearing and yanked at her panties until they ripped. Her mouth was hot on mine and I absorbed her moan as I entered her in one rough thrust.
I worked my way in and out of her for what seemed like forever, the sensations overwhelming, but not quite enough to take either of us over the edge. Still holding us connected, I spun around and rested her ass on the saddle I’d been working on and bent my legs to pump into her at a different angle. I knew I’d hit that spot that made her crazy when her fingernails dug into the back of my neck.
“So fucking beautiful,” I moaned before I took her mouth again. I thrust into her hard and deep, loving her moans and grunts when I bumped her clit on each thrust.
“Just like that,” Sierra whispered. “Yeah, right there.”
I took her instructions and kept my rhythm and angle just the same, silently begging her to find her orgasm so I could join her with mine. After a few more thrusts, I felt her walls flutter around me and knew she was close. Just a few more and she bit down on my shoulder with a scream as she clutched my cock tightly inside her.
I managed just a few more short thrusts before I groaned as my orgasm filled her.
We stayed locked together, both of us out of breath for a few minutes, until Sierra giggled and whispered, “We’re making a mess on this nice, clean saddle you just finished working on.”
“I’ll think of this every fucking time I so much as touch this saddle from now on.” I laughed as I pulled out of her. I left her leaning against the saddle, trying to catch her breath, as I went over to the small sink and wet a paper towel and took it back to her.
I watched as she held her skirt back up and cleaned my release from her body, my cock already starting to come to life.
“Put that beast behind his zipper until we get in the house, big guy,” Sierra laughed. “We’ve got an audience out here and I’d rather be in our bed on top of you the next time I come.”
I glanced to the side and down the main aisle of the barn to see that all nine of our horses had their heads peeking out of their doors and they were watching us intently.
“Perverts,” I admonished the mares with a laugh. Janis, the newest rescue mare that had been so crazy when she came to us, whinnied at me loudly.
“Let’s shut everything off and head to our room.”
“I’m right behind you, baby.”
