"What the hell?" Arya gasped with wide eyes and her jaw dropped.
While Butler Omni shook his head. Ryu loved animals. That was why his island has an ongoing construction for a ranch.
However, he just couldn’t describe the scene in front of him at that moment.
Ryu was all sweaty, shirtless while riding a horse. He was like someone appropriate for a commercial shoot, very masculine and manly.
The sweat on his body added a highlight to enhance a rich, cowboy aura.
’That is so hot,’ Arya thought, her eyes were shimmering and feasting at the pleasant sight before her.
This was the first time she ever drooled over a man.
For her, Ryu would knock down all those well-known artists in the entertainment industry with his look and body.
Butler Omni, who was standing beside her, noticed her reaction and said with a laugh, "Child, close that mouth before a fly comes in."
Arya blushed hard and quickly zipped her lips.
Ryu was riding the horse towards them...
"Can I also try riding it?" Arya asked excitedly when Ryu stopped in front of them.
Ryu smiled and quickly jumped down from the horse to assist her to hop on.
After she was settled, Ryu hopped to her back.
"You’re sweating." Arya murmured.
She heard Ryu laugh and said, "Why, do I stink?"
"Nope, you’re sexy and smell nice," Arya said blushingly, then laughed.
"Really? So, it’s okay if I hug you like this?" Ryu whispered in her ear while Arya felt his arm tighten as he leaned much closer to her.
Arya bit her lip. ’What’s wrong with me?’ She thought when she felt the irregular beating of her heart.
"Are you nervous?" She heard Ryu ask.
’Maybe, he felt or heard the loud beating of my heart?’ She thought at the back of her mind.
"Yeah, it’s my first time riding a horse." She answered feigning.
"Oh, I thought that it’s my sexiness affecting you," Ryu spoke with a husky tone.
"Oh yeah, it does. I mean you look so hot that I thought you’re on a commercial shoot for a beer!" She said in a matter of fact manner.
Ryu laughed and asked, "Do you want to speed up? Don’t worry I will hold you tight and won’t let you fall."
"Alright, go and speed up!" Arya said but her words followed by a sudden scream after Ryu reined the horse to run faster.
When they finally stopped, Arya was almost crying while Ryu was laughing.
"Are you trying to kill both of us?" Arya exclaimed as Ryu helped her down the horse. Arya’s palm was touching her heart as she thought it dropped after that speed.
Ryu hugged her tightly. She could smell his manly scent and sweat at the same time.
Then, she heard him whisper, "Did you get scared? I told you I will hold you tight and won’t let you fall, right? You just have to trust me."
He intentionally did that, because at the back of his mind he was worried that Arya would still hesitate since her family was involved.
So he had been in a dilemma for days on how he could convince Arya to put her trust in him.
Then, he added, "When you are tired, lean on me. When you need to feel free, just hop on. When you need some love, just come hug me. After all, I’m your horse."
Arya’s eyebrows creased as she looked at Ryu intently with pursed lips. Her nostrils were becoming bigger indicating that she was suppressing loud laughter.
After a second, she let it out. She was cringing with laughter as she said, "Oh my God, why do you have to add the horse part. Are you Butler Omni now?"
Ryu scratched his head. He wanted to add some humor because if it’s too serious he was just concerned that Arya would feel a bit pressured.
"But I am serious with that so I hope you consider what I have said no matter what happened," Ryu spoke with pouted lips.
Arya smiled and said, "Yes, I do get you, my horse. But I think a knight on a horse must be more appropriate than saying you’re my horse? You are too good looking to be even compared to a horse."
She was still laughing as she bent over to kiss Ryu’s cheek and said, "So, I thank you for being my knight."
Then, she hugged him tightly. Yes, she was very grateful for a man like Ryu.
She would probably never meet another one like him in this lifetime so she was very lucky.
