“Really? Not that it matters, but can you guess?”
“Three or four years ago. My parents were elderly, and when we went back to Spain, they wanted to see their homeland before they passed, it was only six months before I lost them both. After Iburied them in the family plot, I bummed around Spain for two years, trying to fit in. It wasn’t for me.”
“Why Spain?”
“As I said, my parents were born there. I was born here in America. When Mom and Dad began to fail, I took them back home. I retired from training horses, to take care of them. After two years I was ready to return. The first person I thought to contact was Faith.”
“Why her?”
“One, never, ever be jealous of her. She’s like a little sister to me.”
“I know, and I’m not. You’ve never shown any romantic interest in her, and she’s in love with Shay, and he’s in love with her. But why Faith, no offense, but she’s a jockey, wouldn’t it have been better contacting your previous boss, or another owner to see if they needed a trainer?”
Pedro grinned, and leaned down and kissed her lightly. They were both sprawled out on the bed, and he had one hand on her stomach, and propped his head up with his other.
“How much does Faith talk? How much information does she have about everything?”
Myrna giggled. “Oh, if anyone was looking for a trainer, she would know.”
“Correct, and I wanted to see her, it had been about ten years since the last time I’d seen her. It was the best decision I made, to see her.”
“Why?”
“She found out I was looking for a job, and called Cole and Naomi immediately. I had a brief interview over the phone, and a week later, I was hired.” He stared off into space and shook his head. “I had my own money, and I haven’t spent the life insurance from Mom and Dad yet. I didn’t need to work.”
“But you wanted to. You’re still too young to retire.”
“Correct, and I did some research while still in Spain, and I hunted down Chocolate Champion. It took some time, but I wore the owner down. After being hired by Naomi, I packed up my home, went to purchase Cocoa, and drove directly here.”
“What are you going to do with him once he’s out of quarantine?”
“Nurse him back to health, and see if he can race again. If not, then I’m going to talk to Naomi and stud him out.”
She grinned, then froze at his next statement. “I’d also like to put Sally on the track.”
“She’s not a racehorse.”
“Correction, she’s never been on the track, but according to her lineage, she has several famous horses in her ancestors. Most of them were racehorses.”
“Really? How do you know that?”
“I researched her lip tattoo.”
“You’ll show me?”
“Yes, but not now.” He smiled and bent down to kiss her. It was a long time before he lifted his head, and when he did, he stared in appreciation of her bare upper body. It wasn’t long before they were both naked, and before he climbed back on the bed, he dug condoms from his wallet, and tossed them on the side of the bed. She lifted her arms, and he joined her on the bed.
He felt to see if she was ready for him, and he quickly donned the condom, and climbed back on the bed. With his fingers, he trailed one down her neck, around each nipple, sucking one then the other into his mouth, smiling against her when she arched up into his mouth.
He kept his mouth on her breasts, and continued with his finger, twirled it around her belly button, across her hip bone, and paused at the top of her sex. Without looking at her, he followed the trail of his finger with his mouth, and when she tried to push him away, he looked up at her.
“You don’t have to.”
“What if I want to?” he said as he used his finger and mouth on her. It felt like it was an instant orgasm, and she rode it out, totally limp afterward. She wasn’t about to tell him that it was the first one she’d ever had with a man in her life. All her previous partners hadn’t given her pleasure, she’d had to use her toys after they left to be fulfilled.
“Okay?” Pedro asked. “You went someplace else for a few minutes.”
“Sorry, I was remembering all the times my previous partners left me hanging and I had to use my toys after they left. You’re the first human male that’s given me an orgasm.”
