MODS PLEASE LOCK

[Harpy•]

Raquel smirked, then leaned to the side, brushing her lips across his cheek. "I'm glad I come above guitars and skateboarding on your list of things," she answered, grinning.

[.:ЯαιивσωѴɛιиƨ:.]

"Of course you do," Jake said smirking, but in a nice way. He gave her a quick wink and gave the horses side another nudge, galloping off quickly.

[Harpy•]

Raquel rolled her eyes playfully, and then leaned over the neck of her horse, whispering in his flicked back ear. He snorted, seeming eager, and Raquel laughed, then gently increasing her leg pressure on the horse's side, and he whinnied slightly, breaking immediately into a gallop.

[.:ЯαιивσωѴɛιиƨ:.]

Jake looked behind him, seeing Raquel catching up to him. "Come on girl, we can't let her beat us.." He whispered, running his fingers through her mane. The mare neighed excitedly and started galloping faster, things starting to blur as they went past them. He looked back at Raquel, her form looking farther away, and stuck his tongue out at her.

(Recap please)

{{From where?}}

Raquel stuck her tongue out at him as well, then leaned over the stallion's neck, whispering in his ear again, her hands stroking his neck. He snorted and tossed his head, rearing slightly, a determined look coming over in his eye. Raquel kept stroking him, talking into his ear, and suddenly he released a stallion's whinny, and she listened to it echo across the area. She stroked his neck one last time before hunkering down in the saddle, preparing herself. The huge stallion reared again, using his back legs to propel himself forward, rocketing like a bulleet after Jake and his mare in a straight sprinting gallop.

[.:ЯαιивσωѴɛιиƨ:.]

Jake smirked and pulled on his mare's reigns, coming to a quick sudden stop. He was almost thrown off, but held on tight and laughed as she watched Raquel rocket past him on her horse. "Good job girl..." He whispered to his horse, petting her gently.

[Harpy•]

Raquel grinned, laughing out loud, then leaned back in the saddle, putting her hands out to her sides, savoring the feel of the powerful animal pump his muscles beneath her, still galloping. She moved easily with him, rocking back and forth with his movements. She kept her arms spread out, using leg pressure to slightly slow the stallion, then to turn him around. He was still loping when they neared Jake, and Raquel opened her eyes, keeping her hands at her sides before pressing her legs behind the stallion's front legs, urging him to slow still further, and then to stop. She was breathless, her face flushed, her eyes sparkling, and an utterly joyous expression on her face.

[.:ЯαιивσωѴɛιиƨ:.]

"Having fun are we?" Jake said, smiling brightly at Raquel. "I swear, even the beauty of that amazing stallion can't dream of reaching yours right now..." His voice was light, barely a whisper. He reached over to her and ran his fingers lightly through a stray lock of her hair.

[Harpy•]

Raquel bit her lip, still smiling, and she sighed happily, still somewhat catching her breath. She grasped his hand softly in her own, twining her fingers with his, her blue gaze locking with his own. "How do you know exactly what to say?" she asked, her voice as soft as his.
