Chapter 20 – Russell

Those fuckers.

Russell felt Sydney tense up when they made the ‘hot girl’ comment. He pretended not to hear because he didn’t know what to say to her. It had been true. Not so much now, since he wasn’t a bull rider anymore, but whenever they all went out, if Russ wanted to have the hottest girl in the room, he could get her.

He wished that he could pull Sydney in tightly to him, to whisper in her ear that she meant more to him in two months than any girl had ever meant to him in his life. That yes, she was hot, but her strength and determination made her the most beautiful woman he had ever met, that he loved her. But he didn’t. It was too soon.

He gripped her hand a little tighter but noticed that her hand didn’t respond, her fingers lifeless in his. When they reached the barn, he released her hand from his grip and opened up the fence.

“Who’ll it be today?” he asked, gesturing to the horses, knowing full well that she would pick Buttercup.

“Thunder,” Syd said flatly.

Thunder was the biggest and strongest horse on the ranch. Not exactly barrel racing material. “Really?” Russ asked. “He’s not the most agile.”

“I can handle him,” Syd said, reaching for a saddle and pad.

“Suit yourself,” Russ said to her. “I’ll take out Buttercup.”

Once the two horses were saddled up, they walked them out to the training ring. Russ rolled three rusty old barrels out into the center and spaced them widely apart in a triangle shape. “Is that regulation?” Sydney asked.

“Well, I didn’t get out my measuring tape, but it’s close enough to one hundred and five feet.”

“One hundred and five? Who decided that?” Syd asked, mounting Thunder. She stroked his sleek black neck.

“Beats me,” he shrugged. “You’re going to want to loosen up, and remember, that western saddle is deep and is going to give you a lot more support than your English saddle.”

“What’s the pattern?” Sydney asked. Thunder stamped his feet, chomping at his bit.

“I’ll show you,” Russ said. He clicked his tongue and he and Buttercup took off at a trot in a cloverleaf shape around the barrels.” Then they sidled up beside Thunder and Syd.

“That seems simple enough.”

“Go slowly,” Russ shouted as Sydney took off at a gallop, Thunder lived up to his name and shook the ground as he lumbered around the barrels before returning to their spot beside Russ.

“That was good,” Russ said, smiling at Sydney.

“Good?” Sydney replied. “This is easy.”

“Well, Missy, it’s usually done in under fifteen seconds, and it looks more like this,” Russ clicked his tongue and urged Buttercup forward with the heels of his boots. This time they wound through the course at top speed, Buttercup’s mane flying and whipping as they abruptly changed direction, his one hand on the reigns, the other on the saddle horn, balancing the turns and the speed. Russ’s back felt tight, but the aggressive riding felt so good he decided to ignore the warning signs of a spasm.
