“Dax?” I questioned and turned my head to look at him.

“Trust me,” he said again. “You’re going to love this.” He kissed me passionately. The kiss held all that he was saying, how much he wanted me, how much he was enjoying the day, how much he didn’t want it to end.

His hands moved to my torso and cupped my breasts again. My nipples went to rock-hard peaks at his touch. I wondered if he was going to try and take my top off, if he was going to lift me up and turn me around so that he could have me on the horse. I wasn’t sure how that would work, if it would even work. I was more than willing to find out.

He kept kissing me as his left hand went lower and to my shorts, sliding his hands between my skin and underwear. I let out a shocked cry and kissed him deeper. His hand teased my hair and my hips jerked with need and anticipation.

“Told you, you were going to love this,” he said against my mouth.

“I love everything you do to me,” I replied.

“Ella, I love doing everything with you.” His index finger plunged into my opening. I tightened my body around him and he sucked on my tongue. “So tight, so wet, so incredible,” he murmured.

He slid another finger inside me and then pressed his thumb against my clit. With the rocking of the horse and where his thumb and fingers were I knew it wasn’t going to take me long to go over.

“Dax. Oh, Dax,” I moaned.

“I love hearing you moan my name. Do you like what I’m doing?”

“Yes. Yes,” I said and tilted my head so I could kiss him again. I kissed him with abandonment. I wanted to pour all that I was feeling, all that he was making me feel into that kiss. I wanted him to know how much the day had meant to me and how much I cherished every moment I had with him.

Dax glided his hand under my shirt and my bra, cupping my left breast in his right hand. His mouth teased mine and his fingers and thumb worked their magic. I cried into his mouth and moved my hips over him as I went over. I arched my back as he muffled my cry with his mouth. He kept his hands on me as I went over, and even after. Aftershocks of desire moved through my body and it was a long while later that I came down, much less was able to form a coherent thought.

Slowly, I opened my eyes to see Dax smiling down at me. It was as if he was surprised at my response to him, as if he couldn’t believe that he had done such an incredible thing for me. I smiled at him and leaned my head against his chest.

“You certainly know how to make for a memorable horseback riding day,” I said.

“I want every day with you to be memorable. I want to make you happy,” he said.

“You do. What can I do for you?” I asked.

“No more than you already have. Being here with you, looking at you this way, I’m happier than I’ve been in a very long time.”

“Are you sure?” I asked and ran my hand along his bicep.

“Very.” He leaned back and I turned to look at the view in front of us. We were almost back to the stables and I was sad to see the day and the moment pass. Dax must have been feeling the same way as he dropped his head down and kissed my ear before whispering in my ear. “Though I have a few ideas in mind for you when we get back to the hotel. If you let me?”

I tilted my head up and looked at him, giving him a dazzling smile. It was all the answer he needed.

Chapter 24

Dax

It had been an impulse to take Ella horseback riding. She had mentioned she loved horses months ago and I found out we could do it in Buenos Aires. I had needed to do something that would keep us occupied for the day. I didn’t want to go knocking on her door, push her into her room and make love to her all day. Well, I wanted to but I didn’t think I should.

Having an activity that kept our hands off each other seemed like a good idea. The day had been wonderful. We didn’t talk about work but got to know each other. She had always been easy to talk to but the time on the horses had passed easily. She continued to impress and amaze me with everything that she did. I wanted to get to know her but seeing her by the tree, I had wanted to kiss her.

Having Ella in my arms showed me what a passionate woman she was. I hadn’t planned on doing what I did, I had just wanted to hold her in my arms. Being around her all day and not getting to hold her, kiss her, touch her had slowly driven me insane. I had wanted to be close to her. I just hadn’t counted on things going as far as they had. It had been incredible and a highlight of the trip, if not my life. What we had done was only a preview of what we would be doing, and I was looking forward to the night.

There was still a slight blush to Ella’s cheeks and her eyes were a little brighter than normal as we rode back to the stables. Jaime was waiting for us and gave a concerned look at Honey. I put my hand up and gave him a reassuring smile.

“Honey is fine. We just decided to ride back together. I hope that was okay,” I said to Jaime.

He gave me a slight nod and smile. “Certainly, sir. It is a gorgeous day, what better way to spend it than with a beautiful woman in your arms.” He walked over and helped Ella off the horse. I followed right behind.

“It was lovely. Your land is beautiful. I could have stayed there all day,” Ella said.

“You’re most welcome to come back anytime. We love to have return guests. We even have rooms and cottages if you would like to take an extended stay. I understand you were in Argentina for business. Our ranch is a great place to unwind and get away from the hustle of the city,” Jaime said.
