GIDEON

I think this just may be the happiest fucking day of my entire life.

Winnow in my lap and in the protective cocoon of my arms as we ride Juniper to my apple orchard.

It’s at the furthest edge of my property where the mountain begins, nearer to where Beau and Levi have their part of the property set up, and has a stunning view of the valley and mountains beyond.

The day honestly couldn’t be more perfect for it, with not a cloud in the sky and the cool, soon-to-be-fall breeze.

I’ve packed a lunch, a blanket, and the surprise I have planned for Winnow. I’ve even put Trigger’s care in the hands of Gertie so Winnow and I could have uninterrupted privacy.

Comfortable silence settles between us as we both take in the peace and beauty surrounding us. Winnow leans back against me and removes what she calls a glamour that disguises her features as human, as soon as we’re nowhere in sight of Gertie, Levi, or Beau.

Winnow’s dressed in a pretty sundress that’s hiked around her thighs, spread around the saddle, and a pair of cowboy boots, and by God, there hasn’t been a more beautiful woman in the history of the world.

My thumb strokes idly against her inner thigh, and within a few moments, she begins to squirm and catches my wrist.

“Just what do you think you’re doing, Gideon Kincaid?”

My lips tip up in a grin as I spread my fingers wide and firmly grip her thick thigh. “Touching what’s mine. You gotta problem with that, missy?”

My hand roams higher, and she’s a little breathless as she replies, “Maybe…”

My hand slides between her thighs to cup her pussy.

“Anything I can do to earn your favor?”

Winnow’s hips tilt forward to give me better access.

“Maybe…”

Grinning, my head dips to the curve of her shoulder as my hand slides into her panties, and my fingers are greeted by her soaked arousal.

“Goddamn, angel. You’re always so fucking ready for me, aren’t you?”

She nods, hips tilting even further so I can access both her clit and her tight, pretty pink slit. “Yes, sir…”

My middle finger gives a shallow dip into her entrance and then glides like silk through her folds and over her clit. Winnow whimpers as my finger gives teasing circles around that little bud and sends her one of her hands reaching up to grip my hair.

“Oh, fuck, just like that…”

My cock fucking aches beneath the strangulation of my jeans. Winnow’s body begins to tighten as I continue to work her clit in steady, soft strokes as my nose grazes the column of her throat and peppers it lingering with kisses.

“I love you, angel…”

Her breath hitches, and I can tell she’s getting close.

“I love you, Gideon Kincaid.”

Humming my pleasure, I place the reins in Winnow’s hand at my thigh so that I can tug the front of her dress down. Her breasts spill forward, and I take turns teasing her dusky nipple to aching points.

Winnow’s breath catches and within a few moments, she’s cumming, hips writhing and I temper my strokes but never falter. Restrained, keening moans escape her so as not to startle Juniper.

I can’t help but watch her in awe as she comes undone just for me.

“You’re so fucking beautiful it hurts, angel… You know that? How perfect you are?”
