    Summary

    "This is what happens when you negotiate with terrorists," he mutters under his breath, earning a sharp look from Sophie, who has just appeared in the doorway, Charlie balanced on her hip.

    "She’s not a terrorist," Sophie says, her voice laced with that particular brand of maternal steel that suggests Benedict is treading on thin ice. "She’s upset."

    "She’s holding his teddy hostage," he counters, jerking a thumb toward the staircase. "If that doesn’t qualify, I don’t know what does."

    Summary

    “You do not need to stand so close to me you know?”

    Sophie can’t help but grin as she grips onto the saddle of the horse in front of her. Her husband has his chest pressed up against her back, entirely too close under the circumstances.

    His answering chuckle tickles her ear as his hands settle on her hips. “I’m a very hands-on instructor.”

    Sophie laughs despite herself, momentarily pausing her attempt to mount the horse to absorb his touch. “I hope you don’t act like this with all of your students.” Her tone is light and teasing, prompting him to pull her back against the hard line of his chest.

    “Hmm, no. Only the extraordinarily beautiful ones that resemble my adoring wife.” He gently lays a kiss just under her ear.

    ———

    Or, Benedict teaches Sophie how to ride a horse but when something goes wrong and she gets injured, he goes into panic mode.
