Skyler

He had gotten pretty good at riding horses, Skyler flattered himself. He wasn’t as good as any of the Hart boys, of course, but then, he hadn’t been born in the saddle like they had. But he could hold his own, so at first, when Craig said that he didn’t need to saddle a horse, he actually assumed that Craig was offering to do it for him.

But then Craig continued on, and Skyler’s eyes widened. It was nearing the end of the day, yes, but there was still light in the sky. Craig was saying, not only that he would be happy to go with him to the wedding, but also that he was willing to risk them being seen riding double together.

Someone could see quite easily. On the other hand, the risk was probably minimal, especially since Skyler was going to ride in front of the other man, who was twice his size. Still, it was a risk, and Craig was willing to do it anyway. Funny, in a way, because Skyler had gotten the idea that his boyfriend wanted to keep things secret.

His boyfriend. It was still odd to think about it that way.

Trembling just a little, Skyler mounted the horse, scooting himself way up toward the saddle horn so that Craig had room behind him. Should this be such a big deal to him? He wasn’t sure, but it was. It definitely was.

A few seconds later, Craig was settling into the saddle behind him, one massive, strong arm wrapping around him from behind to take the reins. Craig clicked softly, and the horse, placid and apparently not bothered by her double riders, cheerfully headed out of the barn and away from the house.

“Mmm, you feel good against me,” Craig leaned down to whisper in Skyler’s ear, his breath hot and his tone a soft purr that had Skyler’s cock twitch in his pants. It was funny, how he could go his whole life without particularly feeling the urge to have sex, and now here he was, able to get hard if Craig gave the slightest sign of interest.

“You feel pretty good, too,” Skyler managed, and Craig must have liked that, because he gave a soft chuckle and that one arm tightened around Skyler. The other joined it as they headed out onto the ranch, toward the rolling hills, which were a sound choice. Just like they had their first night together, those hills would shelter and protect them, hide them from any hostile eyes.

“This saddle was not meant for two,” Craig whispered, his teeth lightly grazing at the sensitive lobe of his ear, lips caressing the shell of it in a way that sent shivers through Skyler’s body. In some ways, he was nothing short of helpless when Craig got it into his head to act like this. Skyler just didn’t have the defense in place to resist. “I’m half falling out of it. I’m going to press closer.”

Skyler nodded, his mouth suddenly dry, his cock swelling more by the second. And he wasn’t the only one, as he soon knew because Craig didn’t just shift closer to him. He actually raised Skyler, just with the one arm that wasn’t holding the reins, right up off the saddle and onto his lap.

Craig was just as hard as Skyler was, and in this position, there was no hiding that. The thick bulge of Craig’s enormous dick pressed right up against Skyler’s ass, and even the gentle walking of the horse was enough to grind Skyler down on Craig.

Skyler gasped, and once more, Craig chuckled. His hand pushed up Skyler’s shirt so that it could rest on his bare skin, stroking light, little patterns as they bounced together.

“Pervert. I think you’re enjoying this,” Craig teased, but there was, as there always was, no ill will to it. Craig teased like he breathed, he probably couldn’t have helped it if he tried. It had taken Skyler awhile to get that, but he thought he did now. Or was starting to, anyway.

“Shut up,” Skyler ordered, but that just made Craig laugh again. “It’s so nice that you’re laughing at me while you make me crazy for you.”

“Yeah, but, baby,” Craig replied, his voice still smooth and silky, though with the faintest bit of tension in it, now that Skyler was listening, “don’t you know that I’m just as crazy for you?”

That did help put things into context, and Skyler smiled and rested his head back against the huge, protective bulk of the other man.

“Take us to our spot,” Skyler murmured, although he knew he was being presumptuous. The spot down by the creek had been Craig’s spot with his older brothers long before Skyler had even arrived on the scene. But Craig didn’t seem to take offense.

“Close your eyes,” Craig murmured back, and his hand slipped down from Skyler’s torso to the zipper of his pants. “I’ll get us there.”

The shadows had gathered around them now, and they were well and truly in darkness, and far from the house, too. The ranch was vast. The risk was largely perceived, but not non-existent. They could be seen. Not likely, but possible.

Still, in the darkness, even if they were seen, it would be hard to tell what they were doing. It wasn’t the easiest thing in the world for Skyler to trust someone, but he did then. He had already surrendered some of the control when he had gotten onto this horse with Craig, but now, he gave himself over to it completely. Maybe for the first time in his life, at least since he’d been a baby, he allowed himself to be absolutely dependent on another person.

He closed his eyes.

With them squeezed shut, his head lolling back on Craig’s shoulder, he was able to focus on everything that much more. On the swaying movement of the horse beneath them. On the sound of his zipper, lowering slowly, the rustle of cloth as his pants were drawn just open enough that Craig could dip down into his pants and tug out his aching cock.

There was no need for him to do anything at all. Normally, he would have felt an obligation to return the favor, but not in this case. All he had to do was relax and enjoy, and he let out a soft, helpless little moan as he felt the teasing tightness of Craig’s fingers as they wrapped around his throbbing erection.

With how worked up Skyler was, it could have been over very quickly. But Craig wasn’t going to give him a fast hand job. Craig, it seemed, was in a mood, and he stroked very slowly, very steadily, mostly letting the gentle bounce of the horse’s movements do the work.

Over and over again, Craig worked Skyler up to the point of release. Just when Skyler was absolutely certain that this time, he had no choice but to give in to the pleasure, that was the point that Craig relaxed his hand completely. It was like Craig was completely in tune with Skyler’s body, even more than Skyler was, and he played with it skillfully until Skyler’s breath came in sobbing little gasps and he was tensed right on the edge all the time.

Somehow, Craig managed to hold him there, teetering right on the brink, never letting him back away but also never giving him release. It should have been frustrating, and it was painful, but part of Skyler completely loved it. He had never been so in tune with his body before.

He smelled the creek. With his eyes open, he doubted that he would have been able to see it, but focused as he was, at this moment, he could definitely smell it. They were almost there, and that was a relief, but he had also gotten to a strange place where it barely seemed to matter.

Wherever he was it was fine, as long as he had Craig with him. He trusted this man, knew that he would be able to get what he needed from him eventually, and everything else, he could just leave in Craig’s capable hands.

“Okay, babe, just a sec,” Craig whispered in his ear, and then his warmth was gone as he dismounted, his hand leaving Skyler’s desperate cock. But he left it out and exposed to the night air, and without the heat of Craig’s hand, that night air felt far chillier than it normally would have at this time of year.
