Chapter 13. Autosexual?
Breakfast was a curious affair. Sylvia had dressed in tight jeans and a buttoned blouse. She refused to elaborate on her cryptic comments about her plans. She appeared to have retreated back into her shell, and said little. I thought then that it was depression. I was later proven wrong. It was pre-occupation. Radio music filled the void whilst we ate. For some minutes, she held her toast in hand, tapping its crusty edge against the plate, but not eating it. I pondered on what might be going through her mind that she couldn't share?
Only later did I discover that it had been trepidation. What to me had seemed an infrequent and escalating series of sexual encounters was to her a planned progression of intensities of stimulation that she hoped would eventuality bring her to a natural climax. But whilst her imagination knew no limits, her courage was not open-ended.
What, the previous evening, had been a prolonged and debilitating masturbation of her genitals, was to prove just the latest milestone on her way to sexual gratification.
The weather forecast on the radio was for a day of warmth and sunshine. When she heard that, her mood brightened. Had she perhaps been worried about the weather? Why was it so important to her? She decided to confide in me, to an extent.
"I've had plans for a long time that I hesitated to bring to fruition. I already knew that Ruby and Sebastian would be away overnight. They're leaving this morning, returning tomorrow evening. I thought we could take advantage of their absence, if you don't have any other plans? We would have to drive to the farmhouse in separate cars, though."
"Provided your plans are not too energetic; my wrists are still sore."
"I can rub some Deep Heat on them, to ease the ache. I don't plan to over-exercise your limbs today - other than by holding the camera."
I sat up at hearing that. It promised more games. Even my tender cock came erect. Sylvia changed the subject.
"We only have three horses at the farm now and Sebastian is lame. I need to treat him before we go riding, but I want to take you on a longer trek this time. Dress comfortably for the ride."
Her preoccupation had melted away, like a cloud moving clear of the sun's rays. Enthusiasm for the day ahead set in.
~*~~
Sebastian's mount, Master's Mate, had been stabled separately from the two mares for several days, in the other wing, to ensure his complete rest. He had been tethered that morning to a ring attached to the outside wall next to the open top of the stable door where Marshi and Honey were kept.
Sylvia explained. "He's being kept apart for medical reasons, but he misses the contact with the mares. This way, he can see them for a while and be content."
I helped Sylvia tend to his treatment, which involved hosing his lower leg with cold water. Despite his docile nature, he was agitated and I had to hold him steady whilst Sylvia tended to him.
"The vet saw him on Friday before my parents left. The problem is mild but he won't be able to take exercise for a couple of weeks at least. I will have to put him back in his stall whilst we're away. But it means we're free to spend the day with Marshi and Honey. Are you game for another ride?"
Her love for the horses was touching. It seemed to be just about the only thing that inspired her. The rift between her and her parents was doing her sanity no favours, but the horses had a restorative effect.
She must have misread my thoughtfulness for boredom because her face clouded. She looked at me pleadingly.
"Please tell me you're teasing. Don't let me down now!"
Panic showed in her eyes, along with a strong dose of vulnerability. Whatever she had planned must mean a great deal to her. My heart went out to her at that rare reveal of real and deep emotion. Whatever she had planned was obviously very important to her.
"Don't worry; I can't wait."
She turned away, relieved, and fed the gelding a banana as a post-treatment treat. The horse gave a whinny and nuzzled her face by way of a thank you. She smiled and her tension was released. I felt humbled by this fascinating dimension to her personality that had just been revealed.
I apologised. "Sorry if you thought I was teasing you. I was thinking how important this is to you - whatever it is. I promise, I can't wait for another outing in the saddle."
She turned her head from Master's Mate and smiled shyly. "I know. I trust you more than anyone else to support me."
There was that word 'trust' again. It had an absolute significance for her. I wouldn't regard my personal enjoyment of her teasing, stripping and exhibitionism as 'support', but perhaps it had all been a test of my staying power, and of the draw of her body? My perseverance at masturbating her clitoris had certainly been a demonstration of that. My wrists still felt tender.
This time we both rode with saddles and saddle bags containing provisions. It was another lovely summer's day, of full sun under dappled canopies of leaves. The glorious stillness of the woods was disturbed only by birdsong and the occasional shouts of wild animals. Natural woodland odours permeated the air: the green vitality of deciduous leaves, the scents of the rich soils, and the pungency of leaf mould. I breathed in this mΓ©lange deeply and sighed with satisfaction.
I glimpsed small creatures from time to time, sharing the landscape but not prepared to commune with us humans. I understood then what communing with nature meant: getting along in parallel worlds. Nothing else felt important besides that relaxing outdoors atmosphere in those tranquil woods.
We rode for a while side by side on a long, wide stretch of path, which had been compacted by generations of hooves and tyred vehicle wheels. Sylvia moved ahead. She was wearing tight, stretch jeans this time. They didn't have quite the erotic effect of her riding pants, but her bottom still looked very desirable, which I suspect is what she intended.
She spoke loudly over her shoulder. "I bought Sebastian a birthday present, a bench; you could call it a peace offering. He built a concrete slab for a bench some time ago but never finished the task. It'll surprise him the next time he rides this way."
"Why Is it a peace offering?"
"It's too complicated to explain. Experiencing sexual attraction with you has helped me to understand him better. There's nothing wrong with sensuality and exhibitionism, provided it's kept within bounds. I'm not as fearful of it as I once was."
"Is nudism exhibitionist?"
"It can be if it has sexual connotations. I don't think Sebastian is a pure naturist. He gets turned on by women's bodies. You've brought out the same in me."
