I climbed down from Roam and moved to Sassy, leading both horses to a tree and tying off their reins before reaching up, taking Rae by the waist, and pulling her down. “What is this place?” she asked as she moved toward the water.
“This is my special spot. I told you I’d bring you here one day. Well, today’s that day.”
“Oh, Zach,” she breathed, taking everything in. “This is so beautiful.” The sunlight bounced off the water as it rushed past us over the rocks and tree limbs that had fallen with time. It created a white noise that I’d fallen asleep to more times than I could count.
“This is where I come when I need peace. When I need to silence my mind and find my center. I come here.” I guided her to the tree I always sat under and lowered myself to the ground, pulling at her hands until she was settled in my lap. She sank back against me, her head tucking beneath my chin as I wrapped my arms around her and held her against me.
“No wonder you love this place so much,” she said after a few minutes of relaxing silence. “It’s so tranquil. You can sit here, listening to the water, and almost forget the rest of the world exists.”
She was it for me. I knew it right then and there, the realization slamming into me with the force of a runaway train. There would never be anyone else.
“I knew you would understand. That’s why I wanted to be here the first time you saw this place.”
She twisted her neck, looking back at me and smiling so beautifully I couldn’t stop myself from closing the distance and sealing my lips with hers. She opened for me, her immediate acceptance making my cock stir to life. No amount of touching or kissing calmed the fire inside me that burned just for her. The need for her never eased, it only grew. The kiss went from slow and sweet to hungry in less than a second. I couldn’t help myself. I swept my tongue against hers, swallowing her needy moan as I lifted her up and spun her around so she was straddling me.
“I need you,” I groaned into her mouth as she tilted her pelvis, settling herself over the throbbing erection behind my jeans. Her lips parted on a stuttered breath as she rocked against me, causing stars to burst in front of my eyes. “God, I always need you.”
“I’m yours,” she whispered against my lips.
My control snapped. I had us both stripped naked in a matter of seconds and spread Rae out on the lush green grass, leveling my body over hers and settling my hips between her thighs as she wrapped her long, lithe legs around me.
Our kiss went from hungry to frantic as I reached between us and lined my cock up with her entrance. The moment the head notched into place, I pushed in to the hilt, sheathing myself in that silky wet heat. Her body stretched to accommodate my girth. She cried out my name as her back arched off the ground and her head pressed farther back, exposing the long, delicate expanse of her neck. I dragged my teeth over the column of her throat, my body igniting with the sounds she made as I thrust in and out.
“Zach,” she whimpered, her nails digging into the back of my neck as she held on tightly. “I need more. I need you deeper.”
I hooked an arm behind her right knee, pushing it up toward her chest so I could drive into her even farther. “Yes!” she shouted up at the bright blue sky. “God, yes! Just like that, baby. Don’t stop.”
“Never,” I growled, pumping in and out of her, beads of sweat building and trailing down my spine as her pussy clutched me like a fist. “You’re close already. I can feel it.”
“You feel so good. It’s always so good.”
“Rae, I—” I had to force myself to stop, those three little words right there on the tip of my tongue, desperate to escape. I love you. It had been beating around in my head and in my chest for days... weeks. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was true. That what I felt for her was real, but I didn’t want to scare her away. I knew what she felt for me was as strong, but I needed to let her go at the pace that felt right for her. “I’ll never get enough of you.” She blinked those warm caramel eyes up at me. “You are so beautiful.”
“Zach, I’m—” She exploded around me, her cunt clamping down around me like a vise. She screamed my name up at the sky as her body forced mine to follow her over the edge into the abyss. I let out a roar as the first hot ropes of cum let loose, coating her walls. Her pussy milked me dry, pulsating and quivering around me until every drop had been drained from my balls, until I could no longer hold myself up.
I collapsed on the ground, shifting us both to our sides so I didn’t crush her beneath my weight.
“I think I love this spot even more now,” I panted as my dick started to soften inside of her.
She let out a giggle that filled me with joy. “Glad to be of service.”
As much as I would have loved to stay with her like that forever, we still had other things to do. I gave myself five more minutes to cuddle before forcing us both up. “Come on. We need to get dressed.”
She blinked sex-drunk eyes. “What? Why?”
I grinned wickedly as I pulled my jeans back on. “Because there’s one other place I want to take you today, and as much as I’d love to experience having you naked all day long, it requires clothing.”
She twisted her arms in the strangest ways as she settled her bra back into place and managed to hook it from behind without seeing. “Fine,” she said, giving a little hop as she hiked her jeans over her luscious ass and hips. “But once we’re home for the night, I think we should revisit this whole naked thing.”
She would be getting no argument from me.

Rae
As it turned out, the other place Zach wanted to take me was the local coffee shop in town. He remembered me saying I hadn’t yet tried the coffee and had taken it upon himself to remedy that. We stood on the sidewalk outside the coffee shop called Muffin Top, each of us holding a large coffee and a small pastry bag.
When I first got to town, I remember thinking the name was ridiculous and the coffee was probably mediocre. Now Zach stood in front of me, his expression eager as he waited for me to bring the white paper cup to my lips and take a sip.
