“Umm…” I murmured when I felt the heat of his body against my back.
I bit my tongue before I said any unnecessary things. That was close; I almost told myself that we were so close to each other.
“Don’t panic. You’re doing very well,” he whispered encouragingly close to my ear from behind.
I could feel his warm breath tickling my ear as I felt the heat of his body press up against my entire back. His strong arm looped itself around my waist and pulled me even closer to him. With his urging, the horse began walking forward. The feel of the beast moving beneath me felt new and exciting.
“Wow…” I murmured in awe.
“Enjoying yourself already?” he asked before he laughed softly close to my ear.
My body stiffened a little when I remembered how close our bodies were. His arm remained around my waist, and whenever he spoke to me, he leaned his face very close to mine and my shoulder. I could smell the faint scent of roses on his body whenever I took a deep breath.
