ride them just yet, but let me put you on bareback for a walk around, okay? We’ll get some pictures of the three of you and then you girls can go change clothes and go with Miss Nicole to get them settled in their new stalls for the night, okay?”
Both girls nodded and I smiled up at them before glancing toward Sierra. She was watching me talk to our daughters and I knew right then that she was falling for me. It was a new relationship, a new friendship, and we’d only known each other a week, but she was almost as in love as I was.
I pulled Leia off the fence and hugged her tightly as she sobbed into my neck. I understood why she was emotional. I had granted three of her biggest wishes in one single day: a mom, a horse, and a sister. I gave her a minute to calm down and then kissed her on the cheek as I sat her on the back of her gray mare. I handed her the reins, knowing she could control the animal easily since she had so much experience with horses already.
I turned and plucked Lexi off the fence and she gave me a tight hug as she whispered her thanks once again.
“Rowdy, she’s so pretty,” Lexi whispered. “Thank you so much.”
“She is beautiful and she’s a sweetheart just like you,” I whispered back before I kissed her cheek and put her on the back of the horse. I handed the reins to Nicole and saw that she was wiping tears off her face. She huffed out a breath and shook her head.
“You know how to make all the girls fall in love, Rowdy,” She told me with a smile before she looked up at Lexi and started talking to her about her new horse, asking if she knew what she wanted to name her.
I made my way over to Sierra and helped her get over the fence in her long dress. I held her close, her legs and gown flowing over one arm and her back resting in the other as she held tightly around my neck.
“How did you do all this?” Sierra asked quietly. “You mentioned it at the hotel, but I just thought it was a possibility. I had no idea. And you even got one for me. She’s beautiful, Rowdy. All three of them are.”
“Nicole helped. Shit, Nicole did all the hard work and she even kept them corralled in her backyard for the last few days so I could surprise you ladies.” I walked toward her horse that one of Nicole’s people was holding and told her, “I wanted a unique wedding gift to give you and I thought teaching you and Lexi to ride, giving you something that’s tangible and won’t go away was just the thing to do.”
“How did you afford them?”
“I dipped into my savings I’ve been building to buy the house,” I admitted. “I’ll work it back up though; Nicole said I had plenty of time. She won't sell to anyone but me.”
“Yeah?” Sierra smiled brightly. “That’s good.”
“So, we’re not going to be homeless, we’re just not going to own it outright quite yet.”
“Okay,” Sierra kept smiling as I lifted her up and set her on the back of the horse sideways.
I held onto the reins and walked her toward Leia and Lexi so I could take their reins from Nicole. The photographer was snapping pictures as Nicole and the others climbed the fence and I stopped where he told me to. Finally, after he had crossed the corral, he ordered me to walk forward as I looked toward him. He directed the girls to look his way, but didn’t have to tell them to smile.

SIERRA
The head of Rowdy’s hard length hit the back of my throat and I swallowed, causing his whole body to jolt. I pulled my mouth up and swirled around the tip a few times before I did it again. My hands were resting on his splayed thighs and I could feel the tension in him as I kneeled in front of him while he sat on the edge of the bed.
Rowdy’s hands were fisted in my hair, our earlier hard sex in the shower having demolished the polished updo Sarah had created for me before the wedding.
“Sierra!” Rowdy tugged on my hair, trying to pull my mouth away from him. “I’m going to come, baby.”
I doubled my efforts, swallowing him down again, and I
