Nightmares

Mary

The smell of hay filled her senses as she walked towards the waiting horse . She had finally convinced Francis to let her go riding alone . Reluctantly he had agreed to her plea . After spending the night crying herself to sleep ,this is what she needed a little break from reality.

Mary could feel her heartbeat go up as she climbed upon the beast . Digging her heels into his sides making him jolt forwards . Wind curled around her body under her cloak as the horse sped forward . Mary let out child like screech . She nestled her self deeper into the saddle as the horse spend up . Pour happiness radiated off her . Freedom was all she could fell or think about . It had been way to long since she had been alone and utterly under her own control .

The horses heavy breathing broke her trance . Pulling on the reigns she brought the horse to a stop .

"Sorry boy " she said rubbing his sweaty neck .

Climbing of her horse she jumped to the ground . looking around she took in her surroundings. Fear gripped at her heart as she realized she had no idk where she was .

"How could I be so stupid ! Francis trusted me and I got myself lost " she scowled at her self .

Grabbing the reigns she walked the horse in the direction she had came from . The horse reluctantly followed .

" I know you're tired boy but he have to get home " she softly said .
The horses nodded its head as if in reply making her smile . Mary gave him 1 last scratch before walking again.

FRANCIS

Francis was starting to get worried it was getting dark out and Mary Hadn't returned yet . I knew I shouldn't have let her go alone . Grumbling under his breath he head to the stables .

" Get a horse ready for me " he barked at the stable hand .

"Yes your grace " the man bowed before shuffling off .
Moaning inwardly Francis ran his finger threw his hair . where could she be ? He wondered . the possibilities of what could have happened to her tortured him .

" The horse is ready your grace " the boy behind him said
Quickly Francis grabbed the reigns and climbed on . he could feel the poor of the animal underneath him as they took off the way Mary had went .

After several minutes she came into view . Relief washed over him as he realized she was ok . Dismounting he walked up to her gulping her up into a bear hug .

" It's ok Francis , I'm ok " she breathed against him . Mary pushed a little at Francis's chest trying to get out of his embrace but he wasn't ready to let her go not just yet . not ever really . the sent of her intoxicated him . Turning his head he took a deep breath taking all of her in .

"Mmm " he moaned into her hair .

" Francis " she giggled pushing him back a little . Reluctantly he let go .

" I was so worried " he frowned " where have you been ?"

"I'm sorry , everything just got away from me before I knew it I was lost and my horse to tired to ride " she confessed looking at her hands .

Francis reached out and lift here chin up studying her beautiful face . Before long his eyes landed on her lips . Oh how he wanted to lean down and kiss her . She was so close so perfect but he knew he had to wait for her to come to him .

"It's ok I'm here now and you're alright " he reassured her " come lets go home u can ride with me "

Taking her hand he led her to his horse lifting her up first before getting on . He snaked his arms around her taking hold of the reigns . The horse walked forward but he gave it no mind his thoughts where on her .

The way the wind made her fly back . How her body seem to fit perfectly into his . He growled a little as she shift a little pressing herself against him . Heat started to rise from somewhere down below . He hadn't been this close to her in a long time and he treasured the feeling . Tugging on reigns a little he slowed the animal down .

Puzzled Mary looked at him " why we slowing down? "

" The animals are tired we shouldn't push them to hard " he lied . Honestly he just want to make this feeling of her against him last forever .

His heart skipped a beat as she reach out and covered his hand with hers . how could a small gestured have such power over me he wonder has the heat rose again . All to soon they where back at the castle .

Francis jumped of first losing contact felt like part of him was missing . Reaching up he helped her down .

" Thank u Francis " she leaned up and kissed him " goodnight "

Watching her walk away he lifted his fingers to his tingling lips . After putting the horses away he walked to his room . Memories of her body against his floats around his mind he would get much sleep tonight and id he did he knew his dreams would be of her.
