Reyona orgasmed over and over again.
She bit her lips to stop herself from screaming out loud for the ears of whoever might be close enough to hear.
Just as she was getting too weak to keep holding on to the tree, he threw her over the edge again.
She slumped forward as she screamed anyway.
He straightened as he took her lips in his mouth, swallowing her scream as her body bucked against his.
She slid off the horse, and he held her to his body.
She could feel his rock-hard shaft as he helped her to her feet.
"We…we need to take care of that. Take care of you." she managed to say as they caught their breath together.
"No time," he said breathily.
"Time for what?" Reyona asked as he moved her a bit so he could lead the horse forward.
"Surprise," he said with a strained smile.
"More? I don't think my heart could take more," she said in a naughty tone. "Not after that."
He groaned as he said, "I am trying to calm this beast down, Reyona."
"Okay, okay. I am sorry. I feel bad though. I so want to take care of it for you." she said with a genuine tone.
"And you will, Mrs. Rohan. But we've got a lifetime for that, don't we? For now, please, look away from it. I am close to bursting here."
"Okay," she said in a meek tone that only made him grin as he tried to think of whatever could make his raging blood calm as soon as possible.
They would probably be wondering if we had gotten lost by now. He thought.
Reyona patted the horse and said "Good girl. I can't believe she didn't spook."
"I chose her for a reason. She has the most gentle nature of them all."
Soon enough, they were on their way back to the field where the game was supposed to be held.
That was when Reyona realised what he had meant when he said that they would be waiting for them.
"Finally!" Toria, who was dressed in the full regal of a polo sport woman down to the gloves, said as she came forward to meet them.
"Did you get lost on your land, Max?" she said as she folded her arms and gave both of them a suspicious look.
Unapologetically, Maxwell said "I did get lost in…" his eyes slid towards Reyona, and he added, "... something."
"Eeew!" Toria said loudly before she turned back and went towards the stand while shouting "Dad, these two want to traumatise me!"
"Hey there," Celia greeted Reyona as she came to hug her.
"Hi," said Andrew, who was already placing a bet with Toria on who was going to win.
Reyona was surprised to see three more horses at the ready, making five horses altogether with Enzo and Reyona's horse.
Reyona showed off her horse to everyone, and they all admired the unique coats of the two Akhal-Teke horses.
Beside them, the other horses looked like Serfs beside Lords.
Maxwell led Reyona to the high-backed chair close to the audience row.
Her father, who had come to Kayooma from his trips with his wife, was dressed as part of the umpire, and he was taking his duty very seriously.
He and Maureen had stayed at Reyona's place and had only just arrived for the game.
Reyona was happy that her parents had been lucky in their second marriage.
Just like George, her stepfather, Maureen was also a very nice person that Reyona did not find it hard to warm up to when she finally visited her father in Milan.
That had been before she went to her island home and ended up in Sydney.
Looking back on those times seemed like a long time ago to Reyona, and she couldn't help but be happy about how things had turned out eventually.
As Andrew, Celia, Toria, Gladys and Maxwell, who were all skilled at horseriding, got ready to start the polo game, Maureen came to sit with Reyona.
They both laughed as Toria argued that it was only fair that the three weak ladies should team up against the two men.
Andrew wanted one person to bow out so that the team could be even, but Toria would have none of that.
When Andrew commented that they were about as weak as nails and leather combined, the ladies booed him and said he was being ungentlemanly.
"He knew he was going to lose before he started that debate," Maureen said.
"I know, right?" Reyona said with a laugh as she turned to Maureen. "I think he just loved arguing as much as Toria does. Who could have thought?" she added with a laugh as she looked back at the field where Gladys was being a voice of reasoning.
In favour of the lady, of course.
She grinned when Gladys said she was not so good at playing polo anyway, so she didn't really count as the third member of the female team.
"Ah! Those men don't know what is about to hit them! She taught Toria how to play, you know. George taught her, and George used to be a professional player. They have this place in Copenhagen where…." she turned to look at Maureen and paused as she saw the woman looking at her with an indulgent smile on her face.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" she asked as she urgently rubbed her hand over her face.
"No," Maureen said with a smile. "It just feels so good to see you smile, you know. Genuinely, I mean."
Reyona's brow furrowed a bit as she said "I have always smiled genuinely. I think?"
"Not when I met you. You were so determined to make us think you were fine. To make him think you were fine, but he saw right through it. I didn't understand what he meant then when he said "That is not my daughter's smile. I didn't realize the difference, since we have never spent time together before, but I can see it now. That was really not your true smile."
Reyona smiled more fully as she looked away from Maureen and over at her father, who had finally interceded as the umpire and laid down the rules of the game.
The females still get to keep three teammates anyway.
"Was he really worried?"
"Very," Maureen said as she patted Reyona's hand. "But then that is what parents do. Even when our kids want to spare us from worrying about them. We do it anyway. I am sure you will soon understand how that feels." she said as she looked down at Reyona's pronounced stomach.
Reyona laid her hand on her stomach and looked over Maureen's shoulder as she said "You are right."
"Reyona!" Junior called her name while skipping alongside Allysyn's gurney.
She had sent one of the maids to get Allysyn and Junior to come watch the game as well.
The staff with the carts of refreshments were right behind them.
Reyona waved at the kids excitedly as she called out "Come on, come on! You are just right on time."
Maureen smiled at her as she realised what Reyona had been staring at when she responded earlier.
"But then I think you already know how it feels. They are adorable children."
Reyona beamed with pride.
