Her show of concern and care for him made Hitch's heart flutter. She could be cheeky and playful, but she held her values and put his well-being first–something he admired and appreciated greatly. Seeing her drop her smug act was cuter than he could take, filling him with a warmth that wasn't of lust but of sheer affection for the mare. Though it was a brief showcase, she was seemingly just as nervous as him, except she was far better at hiding it. Right now, getting it on with her was his priority, which meant he would do everything he could to calm her worries. He didn't want to ruin the moment, nor did he want to let his nerves control him any longer. He had that blink of confidence when he spoke about her ass to her face, and all he had to do was try and hold onto it.
