Carousel
They had been driving aimlessly since before sunset, the wind through the open roof blowing her hair, billowing her light top and cute skirt, the music moving them both, singing together over the sounds of the evening as it turned to night. There was no planned destination or agenda (or so she thought), just two lovers enjoying each other's company on moonlight drive.
It was just past midnight when he wheeled into the dark parking lot by the lake. The wind and music were suddenly replaced by waves and crickets and this created a bit of sensory switch overload. She felt an overwhelming urge to kiss him, so she captured his face in her hands and they shared a long, sensual embrace. After their lips parted, she continued to hold his face. He looked deep into her eyes he whispered, "I have a surprise for you."
"What?" she asked
.
"Patience", he smirked, "You'll like it." He walked around and opened the car door for her. He couldn't help but admire her perfectly shaped legs as she emerged from the car. The left leg had been the canvas for his finger drawings for the last several hours, inching higher and higher, as she was reclined in the leather seat, singing with her eyes closed.
As they walked away from the lot she saw a structure looming in the darkness. Was it a building? A pavilion? A picnic shelter? He took a few quick steps ahead of her, turned to face her and whistled loud. She heard the hard sound of breakers being switched as the darkness was replaced by panels and banks of bright lights. It was a Carousel. And not the parking lot carnival towed on a trailer kind...a genuine structure. Thousands of lights, hundreds of mirrors and dozens of ornate sculpted horses lit up the night before her.
Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened.
"M'Lady, "he said in a fake accent, "Stallion or Steed, Filly or Mare, the entire paddock is for your choosing." He finished with a bow as his arm swept towards the glowing structure.
She stepped gingerly towards the giant ride, turning to ask, "Why? How?"
"I promised you different, and I always deliver. Satisfaction guaranteed", he winked as he boasted.
As she strolled along the platform, she gently stroked the gleaming brass poles, and patted the solid hind quarters of each life sized beast. She chose a brilliant white filly, with a black saddle, head and tail up, appearing to be prancing. He helped her up, holding her bum a split second longer than he had to. She responded with a smiling 'mmm'. She was wearing only a thong under her skirt, so the cool, smooth hardness of the saddle gave her a little quiver of delight.
Beside her he mounted a charging stallion, all black save for a white blaze on its face and the cuffs at its hoofs. You could almost hear it snorting madly. He threw a thumbs up and she noticed the Operator behind the glass look down and flip some switches.
The giant machine jerked to life, then smoothed out almost immediately. At speed the rhythmic rise and fall was stimulating and it sounded like a carnival. She looked in the mirror to her left and saw her hair was flowing like a mane, and her light top fluttering like a flag. The excitement and the cool breeze from the lake made her nipples stand out and she caught his eyes fixing on them in her mirror view. She turned to look at him, his rise at her fall and saw the wide grin he was wearing, eyes twinkling. He was standing in the stirrups, his response to her pert nipples was clear, he was sporting a bulge.
