Lust Meets Wrath

A New Gem

Lena had recovered fully and Striker agreed she was strong enough to travel to see the mares at Tony O'Malley's Ranch. 

Bombproof was all spruced up, and loaded into a trailer. Striker helping Lena into the cab of the truck. He climbed into the other side and they off down the road to see the mares. 

Lena peered out the window as they drove toward the horse ranch. Watching folks working in their fields. Seeing the different places and foods grown. Soon enough the truck came to a stop. 

Striker stepped out and opened the door for her. Helping her out of the truck and onto the little dirt road. He then let Bombproof out and he trotted over to them.

Tony came out, he was an imp. Scars on his arms as he stood there by the fence. "Well if it ain't the scrawny, scrappy snake! Come to get a mare for that stallion of yers?"

"Indeed Tony, but she also has to be a gentle ride for my fiancé." Striker chuckled.

"I was wondering who the little cinnamon roll was." He chuckled. 

"Lena, she's my fiancé and pregnant with our first child." Striker smiled.

"Well if that don't beat all. Never pegged you to settle down scrawny." Tony teased.

"Well Ah have and Ah love her." Striker smiled. 

Lena blushed and rubbed her belly some. "I love you too Striker." 

Tony smiled some. "Heh, alright you came to see the mares. Ah got three left. A green endurance runner filly, barely two years. A temperamental pink draft horse, she is very picky. And a purple speed runner only a year younger than yer boy."

Lena smiled and approached the fence, Striker letting Bombproof out. The stallion joining her at the fence. Striker opened the gate and Bombproof stayed with Lena as they walked in. 

Lena sat in the grass and watched the mares. Bombproof beside her, nickering softly. 

"You sure that's safe?" Tony asked.

"Bombproof will protect her if things get rough, he's shown he approves of her. That's more than he did with my ex." Striker explained.

Tony knew how selective Bombproof was, the fact that he would kill and die for this little imp meant a lot. 

The purple mare approached, her hide a dark grey. She nickered a greeting and stood in front of Lena. Eyes flaring and glowing yellow for a moment.

Lena smiled and held her hand out, the mare sniffing then nuzzling into her hand. She pet the little mare and Bombproof sniffed at the mare. He seemed interested in her and Lena smiled some. 

The green mare approached and whinnied, Bombproof snorting at her and stomping his hoof. He was clearly indicating he was not interested in this female and was allowing the purple female to stay. The green mare moved away and snorted.

Striker watched, smiling some as he leaned on the fence. Tail swaying as he looked to her getting along with that little mare. Speed mare shorter than Bombproof and being very gentle and accepting of them both. What a sight seeing his lady among horses. 

The pink mare moved over slowly, gave them a glance and a sniff then moved on, snorting. What a picky mare. Striker had a feeling Tony was gonna have trouble selling that one. 

"I think we have a winner Tony,  how much for the little speedster?" 

"Well she ain't got a special line and she ain't purebred. Soooo one thousand?"

"Done." Striker grinned and while the cash exchange was going on he noted how happy Lena was.  

The mare bent down and tucked her legs under her. Lena smiled and pet her, seeing that flare up in her eyes again. "Ametrine, yer a gem for sure." Lena smiled. 

Bombproof nuzzled the mare and helped Lena up. Ametrine stoop and helped her as well. Striker smiling as the two horses helped his fiancé back to the fence. "That yer mare darling? " She nodded some. 

Tony entered and put the saddle and tack on Ametrine. "We already had her fitted for this set, black and purple. You wanna ride her?"

"Is that safe while I'm pregnant?" She asked. 

"A little walk won't hurt ya. Plus ya got two really smart riders here." Tony nodded.

Striker lifted her and settled her on the saddle. "How's that darling?"

Lena smiled and held the reins. Looking to Striker she wagged her tail. He grinned and climbed up on Bombproof. He was right beside her, the two horses walking nice and slow. Keeping a gentle easy pace. This was just for them all to relax and get used to each other. No stress or racing, just a nice easy walk in the pasture. 

After some nice riding they pulled the horses toward the trailer, Striker helping Lena off. The two horses getting in the trailer. 

Tony smiled some. "Ya'll enjoy yer new mare. And Striker ya take of yer girl now." He nodded.

They drove home in the truck and Lena happily let the horses out of the trailer. Bombproof leading Ametrine to the stables. Striker took the gear off both the horses but allowed Lena to help brush them down. 

Once brushed, Striker took Lena inside and nuzzled her stomach. He felt a little kick and smiled some kissing her stomach. Lena giggled and ran her hand through his hair. "Mmmm... you ready to be a dad?"

"Yes, absolutely. Do we know if it's a male or female?" He asked.

She blushed some. "Yeah actually. It's a little girl... and she has your snoot."

Striker got wide eyed and looked to her then her belly. "You mean, she's gonna be a little snake?"

"That's right love, hope ya don't mind sharing the spotlight." She giggled.

"ARE YA KIDDING!? This is the best news ever. YEEHAW!" He stood ad ran to the window. Throwing it open. "AH'M GONNA HAVE A BABY SNAKE!"

Lena giggled some. "Striker... oh sweet Satan." She smiled and shook her head.
