Excerpt:
Julie’s gaze swept the
landscape. The moon’s rays
glittered on the snowy bows. The birch trees stood with their trunks painted
white to match their limbs. Thick pine branches held fast under the weight of
the new fallen snow, making them appear as if they wore white blankets made of
virginal cotton about each limb. Sparkling mounds cluttered the ground between
the trees, hiding the forest’s treasures beneath.
Save the sound of the hooves pounding on the ground, they journeyed
through the silent night to a clearing in the trees. Nicholai clicked to his
stallion, and with a flick of the reins, the steed increased into a rolling
canter up a steep incline. Julie’s thighs pushed against the sides of the horse
as she tried to match the new rhythm.
Nicholai’s breath warmed her ear when he spoke. “Not too much further.
It’s right up ahead.”
“What’s up ahead?” Just as the words left Julie’s mouth, they crested
over the ridge.
The frozen valley below took her breath away. A glaciate waterfall stood
still as a statue against the rocky terrain. The cascading water, stopped as if
by magic, reflected the moon’s soft rays and cast tiny prisms on the snow
below.
Julie’s breath hitched in her throat. She took in the serene beauty of
the land as they cruised at a slow trot. Debris rolled under Kedar’s hoofs. It
created a hollow rattle in the night, barely audible to Juliette.
When they reached the valley, Nicholai pulled up the stallion and handed
the reins to Julie. She patted the horse’s steaming neck as her lover
dismounted with a fluid grace. He turned, grabbed Kedar’s reins, then reached
up for Julie. Her thick coat seemed to melt as his strong hands clasped around
her waist. She put her hands on his shoulders, and the bulge of muscle under
his coat played under her fingers when he helped her down. A thrill went
through her body.
Her breath frosted the air in a white plume. The lovers held each other,
his hands about her waist, hers resting on his shoulders. Quiet as the moon
above, they stared deeply into each other’s eyes. Nicholai captured her lips in
a gentle caress that welcomed her to this special place.
Question for YOU Reader:
Nicholai takes Julie on a
horse-drawn sleigh ride to a frozen pond where Julie becomes impressed with
Nicholia's grace and strength while they ice skate. This happens to be a winter
fantasy of mine. What is yours? Leave a comment and share your favorite winter
activity or fantasy.
