UNEXPECTED ✰ COLIFER

Chapter 34 ✰ Howdy Cowboy

Colin's pov

Going out into nature has always helped me to calm down and clear my mind. It helped me to unplug from the daily routines and to let my thoughts wander. To think about life or to be quiet and hear the whispers of your soul. Jennifer seemed to enjoy our time together as much as I did and the fact that we were in Ireland made it even better. Even though my home was wherever Jennifer was, Ireland would always have a special place in my heart.

The last few hours we had gone through beautiful landscapes. Despite the fact that I had lived in Ireland for decades, I was still surprised by how beautiful it was. Jennifer looked around happily, and it had been a long time since I had seen her so relaxed. She smiled when she noticed that I was looking at her. She held back her horse and rode next to me.

'Hey there, cowboy'

I chuckled and shook my head. 'You mean howdy cowboy?'

She smiled as she stared at John who was a bit further ahead of us before she turned back to me. 'Are you having fun?'

'Of course, darling. Are you?'

She nodded in agreement. 'This was exactly what I needed.'

I pouted my lip in disappointment before a smile appeared on my face. 'So you didn't like our other activities?'

'You know how much I love those other activities.'

I quirked an eyebrow but decided to go along in her teasing. 'Prove it, Morrison.'

'Why would I do that? We're riding in an open field, smell like horses and are in the company of a man.'

'Did that ever stop you before?' I challenged her.

'You're playing with fire, Colin' she hissed back.

'Like I told you, prove it'

For the rest of the trip, the tension between Jennifer and me was noticeable. It was a tension that hadn't been there for a while. A tension that I had, unconsciously, missed deeply. We rode a few hours through the beautiful landscapes before the sun started to go down and John suggested to call it a day. We stopped at a lake where we attached the horses to a tree and grabbed our stuff.

As Jennifer and I started to prepare the tents for the night, John was busy preparing the campfire and our dinner. Everyone had their own task to focus on, but it became increasingly obvious to me that John was looking at Jennifer a little too often. I was used to men watching her, but the fact that he would sleep in the tent next to us didn't make things any better. When the tents were finally done, I pulled her into my arms and kissed her. I loved to show my affection to her, but with him around it felt like a victory.

During dinner, John told endless stories about the trips he made, the horses he tamed and how he ended up in this life as a so-called cowboy. He did trips with young couples very often, but it also happened that he went out with whole families. In any case, it was clear that he loved his work. I couldn't resist thinking about how many women he had taken with him on a date like this. I felt that Jennifer was shivering beside me, so I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer to me. She pressed a kiss to my cheek before resting her head on my shoulder. She sighed happily. A sound that I loved to hear.

As John continued to talk about his adventures, I felt Jennifer's hand slid over my ass, which she then squeezed gently.

'Jen...' I growled

An innocent, but obviously fake smile appeared on her face. 'What? I had to prove it, right?' she whispered

John looked at his watch and smiled at Jennifer. 'It is getting late and we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow.' He stretched himself and then walked to his tent. 'Good night you two'

Jennifer grinned. 'Well, that was easier than expected'

Even before she had completely finished her sentence, I pulled her into my lap. 'What did you have in mind, ma'am.'

She grabbed my face between her hands and kissed me. 'A little bit of this' she said as she pressed her hips more firmly into mine. 'And a little bit of that' she added before she kissed me again.

'I like the sound of that' I moaned.

All of a sudden she stood up and my body instantly missed the pressure of her body against mine. She swayed her hips as she walked toward the lake. I followed her as quickly as possible. Once she arrived at the lake she started to undress herself.

'Jen... It is way too cold to go in there'

She turned around and quirked her eyebrow. 'That's why I need you' she said desperately as she started to undress me as well. 

She pulled my shirt over my head and pressed her naked body against mine. 'See, you keep me warm' she whispered in my ear, which causes goosebumps all over my body. She turned around again and swayed her hips, even more, when she walked into the lake. I followed her quickly into the lake where she wrapped her arms around my neck.

'I love you' she whispered before she pressed her lips against mine.

'I love you too'

Her hand slipped from my neck over my chest to my stomach. Shortly after her hand disappeared under the water I felt her hand against my already hard erection. 'Howdy cowboy' she chuckled.

'Hm, stop teasing' I growled

'What fun would that be?'

'What do you want me to do then?' I tried to whisper as steady as possible.

Her eyes shined in the moonlight. They showed the strength of her soul and the depths of her desires. Eyes like hers could burn a heart to ashes and turn a universe upside down. Eyes like hers could make a soul fall in love with no turning back and that's what I did over and over again.

'Make love to me'
