Chapter 14: Lance.
As that thought occurs to me, I grab a set of birthing gloves and making sure everything is sterile I move behind her. Gently I insert my hand through the opening and into her womb.
I can feel the foal and unfortunately, my instinct was correct, it is sideways in there, so I begin feeling along its body searching for the head and front legs.
Misty begins kicking out in discomfort, Rayne remains by her head, but a couple of the ranch hands join us to keep her legs away from me while I work.
Finally, I find the head and then the shoulder and once I have one front leg in my grip, I begin adjusting the direction the foal is facing. Once I have it facing the exit, I find the other leg to ensure it is also pointing forward and can come out smoothly.
“Okay, I have the foal turned so it should be able to come out okay now. You. What’s your name?”
I point to the guy from last night.
“Tim sir.”
“Very good, Ti

Once again, we find ourselves in a shouting match, I genuinely came out to thank him for such a good job. How did it come to this again? For a brief moment when I hugged him, I felt like I was a teenager again, except for the way my body reacted to his. I felt warm and tingly being pressed against him, but his reaction was the opposite of my own. The way he stiffened at my touch sent a sharp jolt through me as though I had been stabbed. I never expected that he would dislike my touch so much, nevertheless, I decided to respect his personal space and create some distance. Seeing him relax instantly, further drives the knife into my heart but I hide it from him. I can’t hold back my anger when he begins to berate the staff for not knowing what to do. “Because you fired Tobias!” He freezes for a moment before finally responding to my outburst. “What?” That one word is his only response, and it infuriates me further.

I lean on the gate and smile seeing them together. The foal is feeding and now that it is clean its colourings are visible. The shocking thing is that it is white, not the white that we are used to which is recorded as grey. But pure white, all over and I cannot drag my eyes away from its beauty.“Wow Misty, your baby is beautiful, congratulations on a successful birth.”She looks up at me and chuffs before returning to her previous position. The foal however has finished feeding and is eyeing me curiously. I smile but otherwise do not move and after a few moments of staring at each other, the foal slowly approaches me on its wobbly legs.As it nears me, I get a look at its eyes for the first time and I gasp upon seeing them, they are a gorgeous blue that in certain lights almost looks green.“Wow, you are truly a beauty, your name will have to match your image little one.”“Neeee!”It whinnies and stretch

She is driving me insane with her stubbornness, it’s painfully clear that she is worn out from moving her things, and yet she is insisting on working regardless. I respect her commitment, but I can’t bear to see her running herself down and it’s confusing to me, as I don’t know why I care so damned much. Having her standing in front of me, in only a towel further adds to my frustrations, because it barely hides her figure, and I am insanely attracted to her right now. Her red hair is wet and trailing down her back, but it’s clear she towelled it off before coming out, as it’s not dripping. A few stray drops of water cover her tanned skin and I have an urge to lick them off. Her toned long legs are bare to my eye, and I cannot help but imagine, how it would feel to have them wrapped around my waist. My body moves closer to hers, subconsciously and hers responds, by moving back until she is against the wall, with nowhere to go. Having her trapped in fro

I pull my car into the main drive and glance at the clock on the dash, through my blurry vision I can see that it is approximately 1 am. I open my door and stumble out onto the gravel, unsure if I have made too much noise or not, then proceed to try walking to the front door. As I finally put my key into the lock, the door opens, and I lose my balance because I was leaning in it. I fall forward and I am caught by someone, but I can’t tell through my alcoholic haze, who it is. “Sir? Are you alright?” “Mmmm Yeah! Wasssss on my way to my offissssss.” “Sir, are you drunk?” “M-m-maybe? Hic! Hahaha!” I attempt to push away from the person, to stand on my own feet but they have too firm a hold on me and I barely budge them. “Leggoo! I can walHic!” “No Sir, you are too intoxicated. I will take you.” “Thanxssss. Offissssss Pleeezzzze!” “Okay, but please try to be quiet so the staff can sleep.” “Mmmm, Rayn

After what happened in my room that morning and helping Lance into the house that night after he returned so drunk, he could barely stand, I keep my focus on working in the yard and avoiding him. Focusing on work is the only way to distract me from thoughts of how his touch felt on my skin. I have never experienced anything like it and when I consider that he is the first man I have ever been intimate with in that way, I feel a mix of exhilaration and sadness. I need to move on past him or he is going to succeed in breaking me. That intimate moment in my room weighs heavy in my heart. I messed up, I let down my guard and did the one thing I swore not to do. But his reaction still came as a shock, I never expected him to be so cold toward me afterwards. The more I think about it the worse I feel because no matter how perfect the moment was, it hasn’t changed anything between us for the better. So, no more feeling sorry for myself. I cannot let

A couple of hours later I am sipping my drink while listening to the guys argue over which of them is better at training the colts. I chuckle at how silly they sound as the argument continues to get increasingly heated, then let my attention wander around the bar. It is quiet in here tonight, so a few scattered pieces of conversation drift my way, but then I hear Lance’s name mentioned and that grabs my full attention. “I am serious. Lance Stallion, the disgraced Prince has developed a taste for drinking to excess and then bedding the first girl brave enough to walk over to him.” “You are telling me that if he walked in then sat at the bar, and I was to offer myself, he would accept?” “Damn straight girl. He had Vanessa a few months ago and the way I hear it they never even made it inside the car. She says he was an animal, and it was the best sex she has ever had.” “No way!” “It’s true, and since then he has been spotted in here most

“Knock! Knock! Knock!”I groan and lift my head from my desk at the unwelcome interruption.“What?!”“Knock! Knock!”I growl in annoyance and stand to go open the door. I drank far too much last night and the blonde I spent time with this time, is just a blur in my memory. I tug the handle, but the door doesn’t move, I stare at it confused before remembering I locked it.When I finally get the door open it reveals a face I am not prepared to see, Rayne.She stands at the threshold of my office and her presence fills me with warmth the same as always, but the severe expression on her face combined with the fresh bruising has me both confused and angry that someone has put their hands on her.“We need to talk, Sir.”I frown at the aggression in her tone.“Since when do you speak to me like that?”“Since you are losing your mind.”I

Beep! Beep! Beep! Oh, thank the gods, I am alive. My thoughts are filled with relief as I regain consciousness once more and the beeping of the machines greets my ears. I do not know how much time has passed but I can feel my body a bit better now. My eyelids are still heavy, but my hearing is as sharp as ever and I pick up on some voices around me. “Rayne, please you need to keep your strength up. Eat something. There is no point in letting yourself waste away like this.” “No, I am not hungry. Please uncle just leave me alone, I’m fine.” “You are not fine and if your parents were here to see you like this, they would string me up by my shoelaces.” “Don’t bring them into this Anton! It has nothing to do with them!” “Don’t you take that tone with me, young lady. From the time that they passed to the day, you became an adult I have been your guardian and I continue to look out for you because I care. Now eat something or
