“I have made sandwiches and dessert”, I heard Reg continue. “I have them in my car. What did Emma make Luke? Do we have enough food or shall I drive to Old town to get something?”.
“You know Emma Reg”, Luke said and send him a smile. “We have enough to go camping for a week. Let’s put it in the bags”.
Their effortless way of interacting was fascinating. They knew each other for a long time and liked to be together. Why on earth didn’t they date? What was I doing here? The blond one would drink my blood if he could and Reg kinda ignored me. Did he want to punish me for the stupid comment I made on Luke? Never before I was so tangled up in my own confusion.
When Reg saw beer and whisky on the counter he went back to whispering in Luke’s ear, but I could hear them, and I knew what they were going to talk about.
“No alcohol Luke”, Reg said softly, nodding with his head in my direction. “Do you have a bottle of apple cider, we can take that. An I have bought Pepsi, your favorite. O man, this all looks so good, thank Emma for me if you see her”.

When we walked to the horses I felt my muscles tighten already. Luke introduced me to his father, who was saddling the horses.
“Did you ever ride a horse before?”, Holden asked.
I closed my eyes and nodded. “Yes, but I don’t remember them as being this big”, I said softly.
“Then I’ll saddle Magic for you, she is easy to control”, he tried to comfort me.
With a click of his tongue Luke got the attention of the horses. They came running his way and he caressed them all for a moment, touching their nose with his, saying their names. It was intimate to see him like this, sharing his love for the animals with us.
“Reg, do you want Silver? Then Scott can ride on Amore”.
“And you will take Rem?’, Reg asked.
Luke nodded. “Of course, he is my baby. He doesn’t tolerate someone else on his back. He is picky, you know that”.
“Like his boss”, Reg said and they both smiled.
“Am not”, Luke shook his head. “I know what I want, that’s something different baby. Hey Scott, do you need help to get in that saddle?”.
The toyboy shook his head and with a lithe swing he sat down on the black horse.
“Maybe your doc needs a little push there”, Luke whispered to Reg. “I can’t believe that you don’t grab the first possibility to touch his ass. Be a gentleman”.
Reg smirked and walked my way. “Can I help you Reid”, he asked.
I was glad he came to my rescue because I had no idea how to do this. He gave me the reins and told me where to put my foot. I took a deep breath and felt his hands on me. They rubbed me before he helped me up.
It surprised me that even after I hadn’t been with another man for a long time, my body didn’t react to his touch. What was wrong with me that a gorgeous guy like my date couldn’t make me feel at least something? The way he had been kissing Luke was erotic…
Before I could think about my lack of libido my horse ran away from the other horses. I a flash I leaned forward and put my arms around her neck, trying to prevent myself from falling. It was scary, but suddenly I saw that Luke was galloping next to me.
“Magic”, he said in a tone that send shivers down my spine. Determined. In control. The boss.
The horse slowed down until she stood still. Luke jumped off his horse and walked to her. He looked into her eyes and tried to calm her down.
“You okay?”, he asked me without looking at me.
“Yes”, I panted.
“She is very sensitive you know, and she feels it when you are uncomfortable. Are you?”.
“Yes”, I admitted.
“About what?”, he asked, and now he looked at me.
“About Reg, and you”, I said before thinking.
“Me?”, he asked surprised. “Why?”.
“Because you have money but don’t use it, because you don’t give much attention to that toyboy of yours, because you flirt with my date, I don’t know, it’s weird”.
Why the fuck did I say this?
“Do you have the feeling that you need a drink?”, he asked while caressing my horse.
How…..
“Yes”, I whispered, while I felt a tear forming in the corner of my eye. “I need a drink to feel as normal as you guys. To be in that daze I miss. To suppress the pain I feel”.
“What pain?”, he asked, still locking eyes with me.
“The pain when I think about my ex. It’s eating me alive”.
“What is it about him that you miss?”.
“His scent. His arms. His eehh.. you know, the intimacy. The feeling that when you look at someone you know what he thinks. Or wants. Turned out I wasn’t as good in reading him as I thought. He has left me, over a year ago”.
“What was his name?”.
“Marc. He was the first and only guy I have ever loved. But I took his love for granted I think, it’s my own fault. We have been riding on his father’s horses a few times, maybe Magic feels my broken heart”.
Luke smiled and kissed her neck. “She feels your pain, yes. It must be huge since she ran away, it must have been overwhelming for her. Like it’s overwhelming you so much that you need alcohol to stun your emotions. I knew you couldn’t be the obnoxious guy you show the world. I am glad you are showing me another side of you. Can we try this again?”.
“Try what again?”, I asked. Totally confused. By his honesty. His directness. His eyes.
