Journeying with Him

“Rin, take my hand. Then step one foot on here and I’ll pull you up,” Ren instructed sounding a little more patient than before.

“Ok…” I said as I nodded up at him. The horse was much taller than I had initially thought, now that I was standing right at its side.

With some struggling and effort on Ren’s side of pulling me up, I managed to sit astride the horse in front of Ren.

I felt my face flooded with warmth when I realized how close he was to me on the cramped saddle. I could feel his body press against the whole length of my back as he leaned forward holding onto the reins of the horse. Don’t tell me we’ll be pressed up close to each other like this all the way…

Suddenly I felt Ren’s arm tightly wrap around my waist, pulling me even tighter to his firm body.

“I…I can sit just fine…” I started saying.

“I wouldn’t be too sure if I were you,” Ren replied before digging his heels into the horse’s side causing the beast to start off at a run.
