Chapter 6
A Riding Lesson
At least I was right about there being no mice in the loft, and even though everything in it was incredibly dusty and only after she was sure I'd checked it thoroughly she insisted on following me up in to the treasure house of memories; memories triggered by the innumerable assorted objects we found there, many of which had been mine.
Amongst other things I found an old cowboy hat and as I shook the dust off it I smiled, remembering the Christmas my aunt had given me the outfit that went with it, and the times I'd spent hunting the garden for bank robbers or horse stealing Indians. Mandy noticed my dreamy look and brought me back to reality by asking what I was thinking about.
"Oh, the fantasies I had as a child. With this hat on I became sheriff of Deadwood Gulch, the fastest gun West of the Mississippi, feared by every outlaw in the territory."
She gave me an understanding smile. "I used to pretend like that too. Though in my case I was the world's greatest horse-woman. Winning an Olympic medal for my country. Fantasies are really strong when you're a child, aren't they."
"Not only when you're a child Mandy. I've had some pretty powerful fantasies about you." I admitted.
"Me? Fantasies about me?" Then, with a note of rising excitement in her voice, she added. "What sort of fantasies? When?"
"Oh, for instance, the first evening I saw you with Champ, before we'd even met. Watching you riding him, controlling him so skilfully, I couldn't help imagining what it would be like if you were riding me, sexually I mean."
"Me on top you mean?"
"Yes - but not just on top, somehow actually riding me. That's the thing about fantasies, they don't have to be practical."
"That does sound exciting, I mean, for me too." she paused and from the look on her face and the excited flush that coloured her cheeks I could see that my fantasy had caught her imagination. "The more I think about it the more I'm sure I'd like it too. We must have a think about how we'd go about it Rob."
"O.K. - but for now let me make a practical suggestion. I'd better sort some of this stuff out, it won't take long but I don't want you getting covered in dust. So as it's already making my throat dry why don't you go down to the kitchen, clean up our lunch things and then, while I sort out the things I'd like to keep you could make us both another cup of tea."
"O.K. I'll give you a call when I've got it ready."
Of course once I got started just about everything I picked up brought back a different memory and so I really didn't notice how quickly the time was passing and that Mandy was taking far longer than I'd expected. By the time she called out to me I had put the few things I wanted to keep into a couple of boxes and put everything else to one side for my cousins to pick over or dispose of.
Mandy had cleared our lunch things away and found some biscuits and as we sat munching and drinking I couldn't help noticing that she was unusually quiet, that there seemed to be an air of controlled but nervous excitement about her, but as I was still recalling some of the memories the things upstairs had aroused I wasn't really concerned about what might have been going through her head. If I'd known what else she'd been up to while I was in the loft and what she was actually thinking about, neither of us would have bothered to drink the tea.
Then she got up and started to wash the cups and plates and, seeing her from that angle made me suddenly conscious of something I hadn't really noticed before - just how tightly her jeans fitted her. They hugged her bottom like a second skin, the back seam fitting tightly into the crack between the cheeks of her arse and I found my eyes drawn down along it then imagined how it must also be cutting up between the tender pussy-lips I'd been licking and sucking earlier.
So by the time she'd finished and turned back to face me, although one appetite had been satisfied, another had been re-stimulated and there's no way she could have missed the hungry look in my eyes. But she gave no indication that she'd read it and gave me no time to do anything about letting her know how sexy I was starting to feel again, instead she aroused my curiosity by holding out her hand and saying. "If you've finished I'd like you to come and see something."
I took her hand and let her lead me through the house to the front room, then stood silently as I looked around to see what she'd meant. Although I could see what she'd done, the implication of its purpose didn't immediately hit me. She'd moved the long, narrow music seat into the centre of the room, taken several of the smaller cushions from the settee and put them on it and covered them with a towel, then on either side she'd piled several large books.
But she couldn't wait for the penny to drop and moved across to stand beside the seat, saying in an excited voice. "See, you lie on the bench, I get on top but instead of kneeling astride you, I'll have my legs down either side, standing on the books. That way I'll be able to grip you with my thighs, the way I ride Champ. I think I've got the height right but we can change it by just adding or taking away one or two of those encyclopaedias I found in the book-case. And as well as acting out your fantasy, I'll be able to watch your face, see your reactions to whatever I'm doing.
What do you think?"
