I chuckle at her discomfort and nudge her head back up with my nose. Once she’s looking at me, I kiss the tip of her nose and tell her, “It’s okay. I like that I can make you lose yourself like that.”
As much as I don’t want to, I know we need to pack up and get back to T. I don’t like leaving him alone for long periods of time, especially with what’s going on with his mother.
“We need to head back to T.”
She nods, and I get up off Mia and turn to grab our clothes. I hear a strangled sound come from behind me and turn back to her. Mia has her hand up at her mouth and a look of horror on her face.
“Oh, my God, Mac. I am so sorry.” She scrambles up and comes over to me, trying to turn me to face the other way so she can better see the welts I’m sure are popping up on my back. I stop her movements by grabbing her arms.
“I told you Mia, it’s okay. I bear these marks gladly. Do you have any idea how it makes me feel to know I bring you to the point of losing control?”
“But, Mac, you’re bleeding!” Her voice is loud, and I can tell this really upsets her.
I grab the side of her face. “I love those marks, Pix. I wouldn’t trade them for anything.”
She’s still unsure, but I can tell she’s trying to accept my words for what they are.
“Come on, let’s get dressed. I want you to ride with me back to the house. I missed having you in front of me on a horse.”
Some of the uncertainly leaves her face when she says, “I would love that. I’ve missed it too.”
We get dressed in silence and gather everything up and put them back in the saddlebags. I grab Pepper’s reins and tie them to the back of Drakar’s saddle. I hop up on the saddle behind Mia, and we slowly make our way back to the house.

Mia
Her scent…
THE TREK BACK TO Mac’s house is slow, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ve missed having his arms wrapped around me while riding on a horse. When we were younger, I would sometimes opt out of riding Marabelle just so I could feel his arms around me while we rode his horse.
My hands are on his thighs that are on either side of mine and my head is leaning back on his shoulder. I’m tiny, so with Mac’s arms surrounding me holding on to the reins, I feel like I’m wrapped in a warm but firm Mac blanket.
“How’s T taking his mother running off?” I ask Mac, to break the silence.
“I’m not sure yet. He has something going on that he’s not telling me. For some reason, he’s closed himself off from me, and I don’t know why.”
I turn my head to the side and give his jaw a kiss. “Just give him time. Whatever it is, I’m sure he’ll come to you whenhe needs to.”
“I hope so,” he says quietly, with worry still in his voice.
I give his leg a squeeze in comfort. In return, Mac kisses the back of my neck, and I swear my body quivers at the touch. This man knows just what to do to get my body primed and ready, and that was just with a kiss. I just had him not even ten minutes ago, and I’m ready again. I feel moisture seeping between my legs.
Mac must sense my reaction, because he runs his nose up my neck and nips at my ear, before whispering, “Ready for me again already, Pix?”
“I’m always ready for you, Sheriff.” I whimper. “Even when I thought I hated you, my body didn’t.”
“Mmmhmm… because it knew you were still mine. No matter what, Pix, you’ll always be mine.” He punctuates his words by sucking the skin at the back of my neck, knowing it will leave his mark.
I shiver at his words, wanting them to be true so much. I want to belong to Mac, just as I want him to belong to me. It’s still scary to think something might happen to take it away from me.
I lean my head to the side and reach one hand back and tunnel my fingers through his hair. Mac transfers the reins to one hand and wraps his arm around me, pulling me back against him. I feel his hard cock against my backside, and I’m tempted to ask him to stop the horse and take me again. Knowing he needs to get back to T is the only thing that stops me.
All too soon, the house comes into view. I hear Mac mutter, “Damn.”
I smile to myself, knowing he wants me as much as I want him.
I release my grip on his hair and sit up straighter. Mac and I both dismount right outside the barn doors. We walk in together, and I help him take the saddles off the horses and rub them down.
