Emily was the first one to get her bearings about her enough to look over at the blond. Her eyes traveled up and down the girl's form, appreciating every curve. With a short intake of breath at where her mind started to run off to, she moved a few steps back toward the Friesian stallion. She reached out with her hand and patted his neck and turned to nuzzle against her. "So, we'll start off slow today, yeah?"

Naomi's mind was in a totally different universe, so when she heard the simple question about starting off slow, her head tilted to the side in question. Her lips parted to try to mumble out a response, but she really couldn't think of anything intelligent to stay. Not trusting her mouth to answer, she only nodded her head. She wondered briefly if they were actually talking about horseback riding, or if they were talking about them? Was she looking a little too far into it? Probably.

"First I just want you to get comfortable around a horse. Thunder won't move, just run your hands along him."

The blond hesitated, feeling nervous for two completely different reasons. The first was the utter size of the horse; did he have to be so big? The second, of course, was the small girl that stood so fearless beside her.

Emily noticed the girl wasn't moving. She let her instincts take over. Her small form moved around to stand behind blond. She stood there for a moment before taking a step forward. Her left hand came forward, setting softly on Naomi's hip, and the other ran along the blond's arm to grab her hand from behind. The red head took a step forward, and soon she found her body pressed against the taller girl's back, pushing her forward with Naomi's hand in hers until they made contact with the soft hair of Thunder's neck.

Every part of her body was on fire. Every single inch of skin that was pressed against the red head was sending pulses of pleasure right between her legs. She managed a brief thought that the horse did feel rather soft, but it only lasted a moment. Naomi felt her hand being moved along what she would have guessed to be the stallion's shoulder… but that was only a slight feeling compared to the hand on her hip that seemed to be gripping onto her tighter. She had to be imagining it. It couldn't really be the case that Emily was enjoying the feeling of her body against hers, enough to pull her closer.

The connection lasted only a minute, maybe two, before the slight red head backed away. She missed the feeling of the blond's body immediately. Emily almost moved forward again simply because her body wanted it… needed it… but she kept her emotions and her body in check. Discipline was something she was well versed in, she had to be to have become the great dressage rider that she was. Brown orbs watched as Naomi's hand faltered along the stallion's shoulder and fell limply at her side. The words were out of her mouth before she could pull them back in, "Do you want to go for a walk?" She bit her bottom lip nervously, having no idea where that had actually come from.

Naomi was at a bit of a loss. She wanted to act on the emotions and feelings that were bubbling throughout her entire form. Her mind was elsewhere, thinking of the touch that had left her body wanting more. Thoughts of the red head's fit body raced across her vision, and she did nothing to stop them. The simple question brought her out of her thoughts and she turned around to see Emily biting on her lower lip with a nervous sort of look on her features. She knew then that she could never deny this girl anything. "Sure…" was her soft reply. Naomi offered a shy smile and before anything else could be said, the pair was walking toward the large pastures with Thunder ambling behind them.


"Does he always do that?" Naomi asked as they moved through the gate Emily had opened for the two girls and the equine to go through.

"Who?" Emily's mind hadn't exactly been where it should have been. She wanted Naomi alone, preferably where no one else could see them. The red head didn't trust herself around the blond, there were too many feelings coursing through her body at this time. Chocolate browns looked up into the crystal blues for a moment before she closed the gate and started walking away from the stables.

"Your horse… he just… follows you around…"

"Oh, um… yeah. I've been training him since he was a little colt. We've been through a lot together. Most people think we have some strange connection, but I just think we're dedicated to helping each other. He's always been there for me, and I for him." She felt stupid after admitting the closeness she had with Thunder. It sounded a little stupid and she had wished she could have taken it back.

"Ah, I suppose it'd be nice having someone you could talk to, and… you know, stuff." She paused before saying the last three words as her hand brushed with that of the red head. Her mind had gone blank, and the only thing she could think of was 'you know, stuff'. Naomi mentally slapped her palm into her forehead. What was really going on? She was enjoying being with Emily a little too much, and she feared that the further away from the stables they got, the less reserve she had to keep her hands, body, and lips to herself.

A husky laugh slipped from the red head's lips, "Yeah, you know… stuff." She replied with a smile, trying to make it a little more comfortable. Her body turned around to face Thunder and in the process her hand nearly grabbed onto Naomi's. She looked down briefly before turning her attention back to her equine friend. "Go on boy, go play." The stallion hesitated a bit before he trotted off, leaving the two girls completely alone.

The blond swallowed a frog in her throat before her shaky voice spoke, "I didn't really come here to learn how to ride…" she paused, nervous to go on, "… I came because I just had to see you again, Emily." The taste and feeling of the red head's name tasted sweet on her lips and if she would have been alone, she would have said the name again. "I mean… not that I wouldn't enjoy riding or anything, but I… I don't know."

Emily listened intently, purposely keeping her eyes looking straight ahead, not daring to look over into the azure eyes for fear that everything that she was thinking and feeling would be evident in her gaze. A quiet, husky voice softly replied, "I'm glad you came." It was true, and it didn't give her away, except for the actual tone of her voice, but she didn't know if Naomi had caught it.
