Bennett had such long eyelashes, his nose was so straight, and his lips were so beautifully rosy.

While Claudia was Lost in thought, Bennett suddenly raised his head. Then, Claudia felt warm lips on her face, and her eyes grew wide. She gasped slightly.

Did Bennett just kiss her on the forehead?

"Is it too tight?"

Bennett looked at her as if nothing happened.

"So, it's just right."

“Okay," he replied, sweeping his dark eyes over her red lips as emotions surged within him.

But within seconds, his eyes cleared.

“Let me just gear up."

After saying that, Bennett began to put on his protective gear. Claudia watched as he adjusted his waist protector. His waist looked so strong.

She wondered what it would feel Like to wrap her arms around it. Realizing what she was thinking, Claudia quickly averted her gaze. Soon, Bennett was in full protective gear. He said, “Let's go pick a horse."

As a newbie in horseback riding, Claudia didn't understand much, so she simply followed Bennett's lead.

“Which one do you Like?"

Two horses were brought out by the staff and presented to them. One of them was small in size, a gentle mare suitable for beginners.

The other was big, dark, and appeared powerfully built. Claudia was immediately captivated. "Wow. This horse is so magnificent."

It was her first time getting a close look at a horse. The big horse stood nearly two meters tall, with strong limbs and a beautiful, radiant black coat.

It must be an excellent mount!

Reluctantly tearing her gaze away, Claudia pointed at the gentle mare.

“I think I'll go with this one."

She figured a gentle horse was good for a first-time rider. Unexpectedly, Bennett chose for her the big one that she was just admiring. "Go with Windchaser."

Claudia blinked and said, “Windchaser? Is that its name? It's beautiful, but I... I don't think I can ride this one."

She knew her limits, after all.

Bennett looked at Claudia and explained, “It's your first time here. I can't let you ride on your own yet. You should learn the basics of horseback riding first."

"Okay..." Claudia trailed off. She also thought the same thing.
