Arthur Morgan teaching you how to ride a horse for the first time would include:
° You loving horses but them not feeling the same. You can pat, stroke and feed them but actually getting on one? Heck no.
° Always being one of the gang that cares for the camps horses and talking to them.
° Watching with envy when members of the gang mount up and leave the camp on their horse.
° Arthur noticing and getting fed up, deciding it was time to face your fear.
° "You want me to actually ride your horse? What if he hates me and throws me off a cliff?"
° Arthur laughing at your dramatics.
° "Come on, woman I'll let ya ride with me, it's easy I promise. If we go off a cliff I'll be goin' with ya so let's go"
° You biting your lap staring at his hand that he's offering you.
° Finally plucking up the courage and letting Arthur help you mount up.
° You hating being so far from the ground and automatically panicking making Arthur lock his arms around you in an effort to calm you.
° "It's okay, girl there's nothin' to be afraid of. He won't go anywhere unless I tell him too, I swear"
° His voice low and gravelly in your ear making you blush and very grateful he can't see it.
° Arthur making sure he gets the go ahead from you to head out of camp on a slow walk.
° Arthur gently pushing you out of your comfort zone by urging his steed to go faster.
° Arthur pre warning you that they were about to gallop but you not being prepared enough and end up closing your eyes tightly.
° "Open your eyes, darlin'"
° Despite fearing for your life your eyes open of their own accord and you find yourself lost in the world passing by you.
° Damn him and his voice. Stupid sexy Morgan.
° Arthur letting you take the reigns on the way back despite your protests.
° "You'll be fine, I'm right here and there's no cliffs in sight"
° Finding the courage to take the reigns and urge the horse into a trot, Arthurs hands now gently resting upon your waist giving you something to focus on.
° Finally making it back to camp I one piece and without any incidents only to get your foot caught in the stirrup as you were getting down and falling into Arthurs arms.
° "I always knew you'd fall for me one day"
° Blushing ridiculously hard as you compose yourself and murmur a thank you before rushing to your tent to die from embarrassment.
