BENNETT
Waving off the veterinarian who is driving off into the late-afternoon sun, I turn my attention to Cosmo the horse.
âYouâve got to hang in there, be a team player,â I speak to the brown-haired animal as if I can level with him.
âNot sure youâll get a reply.â Kelseyâs feathery voice breaks my attention.
I instantly form a smile as I watch her walk to me, almost shyly, and today she is gorgeous. But to be honest, every time that I see her, she always seems extra beautiful, attractive, glowing, the perfect image to think of when Iâm in the shower, when I wake upâthe list goes on.
âHey.â I walk to her and kiss her cheek. She smells so damn good, a mixture of sugar and spice. Kelsey is also everything niceâwell, except when she claws my skin when Iâm making her come, but still, thatâs pretty fucking nice.
She looks at me oddly. âEverything okay?â
âYeah, you look good today. Real good.â It kind of rolls out a little too eager.
âThanks.â She nearly blushes but then hums a sound. âBut I mean with the stallion.â
âYeah, Iâm good.â
A short sharp laugh escapes her. âThe horse. I mean that stallion.â
I scratch my cheek in almost embarrassment. âOh, right. Cosmo just has a stomach bug or something so weâll need to change his food. Lucy is away with a friend on a shopping trip for the weekend. We all hope that Cosmoâs health turns around before she gets back. The last thing we need is to have something happen to her horse, it would crush her,â I explain, because as much as my kid sister is strong, none of us want her to have another loss or change this year.
Kelsey presses her lips together, with concern in her eyes, as her hands land in the back pockets of her jeans. âI can understand that. But he looks like heâll be okay, right?â
âFor sure. Now, I believe you are here for a reason.â I turn our attention to the day ahead.
âI am. Rumor has it that Bennett Blisswood has some moves in the romance department, and Iâm here to see if there is any truth to that.â
I offer her my hand. âCome on. Just remember that Olive Owl wins awards for being a romantic place to visit, and I just happen to be half the reason for it.â
She smiles as she places her hand in my own. âCareful, Bennett, donât get overconfident.â
Oh, she has no clue.
Ten minutes later, after a short walk, we arrive at our destination, a clearing among the dried field, with stacks of hay and pumpkins. Hanging lightbulbs surround us for when it turns dark. A plaid blanket is splayed out on the ground, along with a wicker picnic basket with glassware and a bottle of cider. There are a few dark roses too. This is the scene that many people come for, to take engagement photos in the fall or when couples book as part of the romantic package. Iâve never actually tried myself, but now Iâm getting the full Olive Owl experience.
