did.
    “Good boy,” Flynn whispered.
    Trying not to make any sudden moves, Flynn gradually turned around to face the animal. The horse seemed much more at ease now, so Flynn took the bridle and slipped it over the horse‟s head, which the horse allowed. He knew this couldn‟t be the first time the animal had been handled like this. He was too old for that. Maybe Gable just didn‟t think this horse was gentle enough?
    A sudden rattling sound made both Flynn and the horse look around. While Flynn tried to locate the rattlesnake, the horse whinnied and startled, rising on his hind legs dangerously close to where Flynn was standing. In a split-second decision, Flynn rolled to the ground, away from the rattler and narrowly avoiding the sharp hoofs as the horse came down and then rose again.
    A gunshot blast pierced the air and, from the corner of his eye, Flynn saw the gate at the side of the corral fly open. The horse bolted out toward the lower paddock and before Flynn could get up from the ground, the shotgun landed next to him in the sand and Gable was on top of him, his hands everywhere at once.

    Chapter 6

    IT TOOK Flynn a few moments to realize that Gable practically ripping his clothes off had everything to do with the fact that Gable thought he‟d been bitten by the rattlesnake and nothing to do with a sudden bout of lust. The intensity of Gable‟s eyes and the thoroughness with which Gable touched him, combined with the roughness of his hands and the fact he was straddling him, made Flynn‟s blood rush south.
    Once he understood what Gable was doing, Flynn simply let him continue, hoping he‟d be satisfied soon, but not too soon. Gable was bound to realize how much this was turning him on.
    “Gable, I‟m fine,” he said, without too much conviction. “Gable, stop, I‟m fine,” he repeated, a little more strongly.
    “The snake,” Gable simply replied.
    “It‟s fine. It was far enough away from me, but it spooked the horse. I was trying to get away from the horse, that‟s all.” Gable was panting as he stopped to look at Flynn‟s face.
    Flynn was a little puzzled by Gable‟s expression, but when he saw those icy-blue eyes turn dark, he understood. Gable had noticed Flynn‟s arousal. Flynn froze, afraid that if he followed his instincts to grind against the heaviness of Gable‟s body, he‟d only make it worse.
    Or better, depending on how you looked at it.
    But then Gable started moving.
    Flynn swallowed hard. He couldn‟t look down, because he didn‟t want to break eye contact, but he was sure Gable was as aroused as he was. He was also afraid that if he looked at their groins, he would come in his pants like a virgin schoolboy. The air between them was electric, and Flynn was about to cave in under the pressure.

    Suddenly Gable dove down and kissed him. It was an intense kiss, bordering on the aggressive, and Flynn couldn‟t help but kiss him back. This time he wanted his actions to show he wanted this too, not just his words. Gable was still grinding against him, and with their changed position Flynn could feel Gable‟s hard length next to his own, only separated by two layers of coarse fabric. He‟d expected Gable to pin his hands down, but he didn‟t. Instead he leaned on his elbows and steadied Flynn‟s head, leaving Flynn free to move, which gave him another way of showing Gable he wanted more.
    After Flynn grabbed Gable‟s ass and began urging him on, Gable started moaning into Flynn‟s mouth. Flynn knew where this would end, and he hoped that nothing would happen to make Gable pull away.
    Flynn didn‟t care that they were out in the open air. Nobody came to the ranch unexpectedly, and even if they did, the corral was pretty well boarded up and the visitor would have to climb up it to see anything. The hard, uneven ground beneath him did start to bother him, but the fact he was hard and horny and had an equally aroused man lying on top of
