Alec

Fear filled his mind and paralyzed his body. The back of his shirt was soaked through and he felt the sweat dripping from his forehead. His world was dark and he knew if he didn’t open his eyes soon things would get worse, but he still couldn’t bring himself to open his eyes.

“She can feel how tense you are.” Bethany’s sweet voice came from just beside him. “Alec, please open your eyes.”

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the ground far below him. It was like he was sitting on a cliff, a hairy, mobile cliff. He never should have agreed to let Bethany teach him how to ride a horse.

“Alec,” she said and he met her eyes. She stood to the side with the reins in her hand and with a big smile covering her face. “You’re alright, just relax.”

He was certain that any masculinity points he might have had leftover had been tossed away in the last few moments. “I’m alright. I just don’t like heights.”

“Alec, you’re probably not even six feet off the ground.”

To him it looked like he was at least double that, but he knew the horse wasn’t that tall. “Uh, I’m trying to tell my brain that but it isn’t listening.”

Bethany placed her hand on his leg and Alec’s body somehow stiffened even more, but with that came a feeling much more pleasant than the overwhelming fear he had been feeling.

“Breath.”

He took a breath.

“Again.”

He took another. Some of the fear drained from his body and he felt his tense muscles relax a little.

“Now place your hand on her side.” Bethany said softly.

Doing his best not to look down Alec reached down and laid his hand on the side of the horse’s neck. “Now what?”

“Just feel her.”

He sat there for a few seconds not feeling anything and not certain what Bethany was talking about but he forced himself to clear his mind, and that was when he felt it. His legs felt the horse breathing in and out, his hand felt her smooth coat and warm body. He felt her body tremble for a moment and her hind end sway as her tail chased away a horse fly. Alec was on top of a living breathing animal.

Bethany’s face lit up. “I know, right?”

“Holy shit,” was his only reply.

“Alright, I’m going to lead you around, try to keep your ass un-puckered.”

His mind hadn’t been able to fully register the fact she said something about a puckered ass when the giant beast he was on began to walk forward. The horse barely swayed from side to side as she calmly walked through the empty field. The breath he had not realized he was holding came out all at once. “This isn’t so bad.”

Bethany looked back at him. “Yeah, I know.”

“So, uh, I take must think I’m pretty pitiful now.”

“I didn’t think you were that tough to begin with.” She saw his face and laughed. “Everyone is scared their first time.”

“Really? You were scared your first time?”

“Of course. I acted a little tougher than you did, but I was still scared.
