Chapter Five

Jules positioned her body for the jump, holding Conquistador to maintain the correct number of strides between the poles, and she winced at the soreness between her legs.

Con sailed over and she whimpered at the jarring impact. God, this hurts. She didn’t do a lot of jumps but Con had been a jumper prior to coming to her and he loved it. The things she put up with because of her love for him.

“Atta boy,” she praised and they pressed on. “Your mama was a whore for the past few nights. It was so worth it though, in case you were wondering.”

He twitched an ear back toward her and she laughed. “Yeah. I bet you don’t care at all.”

While it had been only a few nights, and an afternoon, it was a workout unlike she’d had in years. So, worth it. “Can’t happen again though. He’s not sticking around and I don’t need to get used to him being with me.”

As she thought of Rex, he stepped into the arena. The man looked different. There was an aura of cold arrogance around him. Sure, it faded but all day the moments she saw him that description came to mind. Recently, he seemed different from before. Who knows though, he doesn’t know who he is, so was would be the difference?

He lifted his hand in greeting but didn’t approach further.

“Sorry boy, only on pass this time.” She refocused and finished up the course. She never allowed him to stop midway, that only bred poor behavior. Patting his neck as they trotted after hitting the last jump, she headed to Rex and find out what he needed. “What’s up?”

“Mr. Phoenix is back once again. Wants to talk to you.”

Jules ground her jaw before nodding. “He’s not taking the hint.” A huge sigh.

“Let me handle it.”

“I don’t need you to fight my battles for me.”

“He isn’t listening to you. He will listen to me.” Determination and arrogance laced his tone.

“No.” She swung down from Con’s sixteen-hand high back. “I’m capable. Men need to learn women aren’t pushovers. I’ve dealt with this my entire life. I’m looked by and talked over because of the fact my father was a black man and the fact I don’t have a dick. Trust me, women don’t want them, we’re around enough of them on a daily basis. Then I’m berated because I demand respect not given to women. I’ll handle it.” She stomped off, Con behind her snorting with each step. It chaffed her having to deal with this level of bullshit so often. It completely wiped away any lingering euphoria from her time with Rex she’d been thinking about.

Jules swung up on Con again and settled in the saddle before riding out into the sunny day. She rode up to Mr. Phoenix and halted her stallion. “No appointment, Mr. Phoenix, and I have no time to spend with you. I told you to make an appointment,” she asked Con to move on.

“Seems to me, you have plenty of time but maybe it’s because my name’s not Hamilton.
