Devilsheart
“Silky mane as black as the night sky. Dark, fathomless eyes. It seemed so docile now. Plus, now that she’d spent more hours than she cared to count riding with Rathe, it didn’t seem as frightening. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad learning how to ride.

Her brows furrowed for a moment. What… She smacked Rathe on the arm.
“Oh, you mean horses,” he corrected with an exaggerated, fake tone.

And he’d been attentive. Always ensuring her comfort. Making sure she had enough to eat at lunch and plenty of privacy when needed.MoreLess
