Two of a Kind

Once the swelling in my ankle was down completely dad felt around the joint for anything unusual. "Might have just twisted it severely." He said. "That would be a slight sprain." I said. "I'd walk on it to keep the joint from stiffening." He said. I moved from my laying position to sitting up. "All I can say is stand and walk." He said before leaving my room.

I stood up and put a little weight on it. "Want something to hold onto?" Blake asked standing in the doorway. I nodded. He moved closer so I could put my hand on his shoulder. "Just to the couch." I said. I put weight on the ankle feeling it hurt. Once at the couch I let go and held onto the couch walking. Then at the edge of it I let go and walked freely.

I got into Joshua's truck as he was picking me up to go to the stables. Once there he said he was going to be in his office. I nodded and went to saddle Diamond. He whinnied loudly as I approached his stall. I grabbed his lead and just stuck it around his neck leading him to the arena. Once the gate was closed behind him and took the lead off.

I then pulled myself onto his back. I grabbed a short tuft of his mane at his withers and clucked my tongue. He trotted around until I clucked my tongue again. He cantered before galloping. Once he was good and his legs stretched good I slowed him down and stopped him altogether. I then slid off his back and got the lead. I spotted Jacob watching closely. More than he usually does.

I put the lead around Diamond's neck and led him to the gate. I opened it and led him to the small paddock. I turned him loose remembering that I needed to buy him a new halter after he tore the last one off. I looked back not seeing Jacob. It kind of scared me when he was around. I took the lead keeping it in my hands as I walked back in to get Thunder.

I grabbed his hackamore and walked to his stall. Then put it on him and led him out. "What do you say boy. Trail ride?" I asked him. He nodded. "Trail ride it is." I said before tying him to the ring outside the tack room. I opened my locker and grabbed my straw stetson. I put it on my head and closed the door. I put the key back on my necklace before exiting.

I saw a truck pull up knowing it must be Justin and Blake. I untied my horse and led him out. I then led him to the trail pasture and opened the gate before closing it behind him. I then mounted onto his back for a trail ride. He knew where we were going. Not going lie. He and I are still close. It's just that with saddles and bridles he freaks out.

We got onto the trail going nowhere specific. I kept my left hand on my thigh while my right hand held the reins. As soon as we were out of sight of the stables I whistled taking him into an easy lope. Once reaching the back open pasture space I whistled louder letting Thunder run. All I could feel was free. I spotted the pond and slowed down. I dismounted and led him to the water.

He drank glancing up every now and then. I ran my hand along his back and neck as he drank. When he was done I led him over to a patch of grass. He snorted as I got back onto his back. I laid back looking up at the clouds. Laughing filled the silence of just my horse munching on grass. I looked back at the trail entrance for a few seconds before seeing two horse heads.

I sat up to get a better look. Thunder sidestepped to look too. "Looks like we got a tail." I told him. He nickered. "Let's see how far we can get away." I said grabbing the reins near his head. Right away he started trotting. I rode him to the creek and stopped. I looked back seeing the two riding over. My eyes traveled between the pair as they rode closer. From their hats to their boots I could tell they were all muscle.

Once they were close enough for me to see their faces I recognized them. Justin and Blake. They had saddles and bridles on their horses. Thunder snorted and stamped one of his hooves. "It's alright boy. They're friends." I said. He nickered and relaxed. I scratched his shoulder as they approached. "Saw you riding this way and decided to follow." Justin said.

"Think I need guys following me around?" I asked. "Nah. Just company." He said. I pulled the reins backing my horse up facing them. "Believe it or not. If he leaves the stable for anything without Joshua's consent, that's a strike against him. He could lose his job if he did so he chooses not to." I told them. "Doesn't matter about him. He can't do anything to you when we're around." Blake said. That's the fourth time I've heard him talk.

He moved his horse closer to mine. Justin did too. "Sugar. What he's been doing to you is considered making sexual attempts on a minor. If he even shows you even the slightest bit of his junk, to put it nicely, it's considered a sexual offense towards you." Justin said. I shifted on my horse's back. He moved closer along with Blake. Blake got on one side of my horse while Justin was on the other side.

"He's right. If he made and attempts to show you any part of his male anatomy, he'll be put in prison faster than he could even try to take any part of it out." Blake said. I don't know how I even got damp between my legs. My shorts were displaying something I wish went away. A finger touched the skin. I jerked my leg away from the fingers. "May I see it?" Blake asked. I shook my head.
