To the Moon and Back

Chapter 15

                                                             Samantha`s POV

        To say I was shocked is an understatement, for oh so many reasons. First, he drives my body wild, then he makes my heart melt. He didn’t just ask to meet my babies he wants their Approval.  That’s way beyond any gesture any man before had made. Most guys would just ask to meet the kids because they felt they had to; they didn’t care if they had the approval of my kids. Most never made it to meet the kids, and none had managed to win over both of them.  While I have never even entertained the idea of bringing a guy around my kids so soon, I can’t help but to think how incredibly unique this situation is. Afterall we are guests on his farm, so it wouldn’t be weird to introduce them, right? I have always been one to trust my instincts and follow my gut, and every cell of my being is soothed by Jason’s presence. I feel safe, I know my kids will be safe but now I have to worry about my kids not liking him. What if they don’t get along, and I can never even get a taste of that delicious hunk of s*x appeal. It would be simply tragic to not at least get to see what he’s about!  I just realized I’ve been staring into Jason’s eyes since he asked me about the kids. I’m starting to think my brain has short circuited from all these tingly sparks, I’m never this quiet. It doesn’t take long to notice Jason`s eyes roaming about my body. his eyes shine with lust and unspoken promises of pure ecstasy.  It’s hard to miss his Beautiful brown eyes darkening and lighten.  It’s the strangest thing, well maybe not the strangest, that growl, and the fact that it made me quiver with need, also pretty weird. Although I’m still conflicted, I decide to give him my answer “I think that would be wonderful Jason” He smiled brightly and adjusted his grip on me, he still had me inn his lap and I wasn’t looking forward to having to move. He even Smells perfect. Seriously, how is he so perfect? How is he single and this perfect?!? I push all those thoughts to the back of my mind; I refuse to worry about any of that while being held up against the chest of a demigod. His strong arm holding my body in place. I snuggle into his chest while we fall into a comfortable silence.  “this is the last turn Sammy; the picnic grounds are up ahead.”  He chuckles at me when he sees me try to get back into the saddle and off of his lap. “hey, I was comfortable” he jokes while helping me to find my seat comfortably.  Before I could make some smart-ass comment, he leans into my ear and whispers “just wait till you see how comfy that position is with no clothes!”  I’m not sure if it was what he had said or how he proceeded to nibble my ear that caused my to cheeks to flush and butterflies to flutter in my stomach. Whatever the cause Jason seemed to thoroughly enjoy having me so flustered.  We spend the last few minutes of our ride just enjoying each other’s company in comfortable silence.

        Once we arrive at the picnic grounds, we walked Luna to a small paddock off to the side of the tables. As we approached, I noticed a few workers scrambling to meet us at the paddock gate. Did they just bow their heads?  Who bows to their boss that’s weird as F*ck!  he’s not royalty or some friggin mafia boss, is he?? I look back at him and my worries seem to just melt away. There is no way this man is dangerous, well not in a I’m going to wind up in a milk box way. He is dangerous in the sexy ‘I’d let this God of a man do absolutely anything to my body’ kind of way. The workers nervously approach Luna causing Jason to laugh to vibrate through my body.  “Let me help them with her they’re scared of her!” with that he jumps down and grabs her reigns. Leading us into the paddock. A soon as they could the workers closed the gate and stepped away from the fence. Soon both of us were laughing loudly while they looked at me like I was a mad woman.  I don’t want to get off, but Jason did say he wanted me to come back. I hope he was serious, the thought of never seeing her again is painful. I quickly lean forward to hug her, thanking her for the ride. “Don’t worry Sammy you’ll see her again soon” Jason says softly. He extends his hand up to me, if he trying to help me off this horse? Really like I need help! When he notices me roll my eyes he chuckles and withdraws his hand. He steps back slightly as I gracefully swing my right leg over Lunas back side while gently pushing away from her. I land just inches from Jason with a smirk. Just as I was about to make a smart-ass girls can do anything comment, I fell. Yes, I tripped over air and braced for impact. Instead of hard ground I was being held in Jason’s strong arms. Being engulfed by those beautifully delicious sparks. He whispers in my ear something I don’t really understand. I think he was saying something about making me his. Well, the words I could make out were ‘mark’ and ‘Mine’.  And when he said ‘Mine’ a chill shot down my spine to my core, causing me to shiver. “Thank you-” “don’t apologize for me sweeping you off your feet!”  he’s so corny I love it; we are both laughing. Luna nudges me with her big, beautiful silver head.  When I rest my head against her forehead, I hear those workers Gasp! “oh, baby girl why are they so scared of you” she makes a sound that sounds awfully close to an evil laugh. She even paws at the ground mischievously. I look backwards and see the workers looking at me fearfully, clearly concerned for my well being but not willing to go near Luna. I look into Jason’s eyes and from his immediate smirk back I think he seen the mischief twinkling in them. He placed me back on my feet. Freeing me to walk towards Luna.  When I reach her, I bow to her and just as I hoped she bows back at me. I can’t look at them, but I hear several expletives being said behind me. I put my hand up and she leans her head into it. Luna leans her head down so I can hug her, Which I do as soon as I can reach. After a few minutes of hugging and whispering words of endearment I turn and lean against Luna who leans her head down. It feels as like the horse equivalent of having an arm draped over my shoulder. When I look at everyone’s faces, I see a mix of shock and awe. When my eyes land on Jason’s I see so many things in those warm brown pools. He notices my eyes on him clears is throat and extends his hand “May I steal her Luna?” Luna stomps her foot, and he looks vexed. Before him and Luna can fight over me, I turn to the feisty horse and kiss her nose. “ill see you soon beautiful, I’ve got to go check on my babies!”  I notice that some of the kids are arriving to eat lunch, oh man am I really doing this? “So, Sammy, Baby, why don’t you introduce me?”
