As breakfast was being doled out the people were still grumbling about being up at an ungodly hour. They also didn’t like the idea of being tested even though it made perfect sense to match them with the correct animal and tasks that they could do. Sophia listened as she was off to the side and she was not surprised even though she was disappointed in a way. These people really did need a wake up call on how life worked outside of the city.
It was making her almost mad the way they kept going on and on about things they had no idea it was there in place for hundreds of years. They weren’t any less of people because they kept a certain way of life going. It was simple but hard. It was more rewarding to them to see the animals grow and be ready to wholesale for her it was watching the newer cows produce and whatnot. Micha and her came from the same coin just two sides of it. They weren’t that

As the two walked over to the pen they both could feel the daggers being sent their way. Sophia couldn’t help but worry a bit about the outcome of pushing them to the brink but for now she had to focus on the calf. It was in the corner of the pen while it’s mother and twin were on the other side getting along great. “Your mom said not to try to bother getting the mother to accept the calf.”“She is right.” He said as he looked down at her. “I don’t know how it is on your type but if a mother rejects it at birth normally because it is a multiple or whatever it won’t ever. Just focus on your job as it’s adopted mother and I will figure out where we are going to put it.”“Micha I can have my father take it in for a bit.” Sophia said as she looked at him.

As he opened the door and nearly pushed her into the small building he closed the door behind him and locked the simple door handle. This building was hardly ever used unless it was the end of season. It wasn’t so he knew everything would be minimal in there and no one would be looking to get into it. He grinned in the low light of the room from the one old window pane. He looked at her as she turned to look at him.“Really Micha?” she asked as he closed the distance between them. She took a few steps back when he did close the distance and she found herself between a table and him.“Well I like the way you think.” He said softly as he untied the bottom of the outer shirt she was wearing and let it drop to the floor. He then had the hem of her tank top in his hands. He kissed her quickly and then as he broke away from her she found herself without a top o

Sophia followed him as they both stopped and looked at the small group that was in the main ring. The two looked at the people they called co-workers at the moment and they looked at each other and shook their heads. That was when they spotted another group being told how to muck out the stalls as the horses were being turned out for the day. Sophia smiled as she saw her horse while she was there at least. He was at the fence waiting for some attention from her as he whined rather loudly.“Looks like I will have to have enough room for him to come along too.” Micha laughed as he watched the horse pace back and forth as she got nearer to the fence. The horse roared as he bucked onto two hooves to show her she was taking to long to get to him.“Another impatient male to deal with.” Sophia said and he roared with laughter. As she got to the fence the horse began t

Sophia looked up to him and smiled as he kept his hand on her back as he looked at the people in front of him and around the ranch with utter disdain. He couldn’t believe the amount of gall some of these people still had. Though now he had some more pressing things to do for the day. She surprised him by saying that so openly in front of everyone but he knew she was really saving herself. They would have to iron out the kinks in the relationship but people like them had often started with less then the two had.He could think on the fact his parents had only known each other two weeks both their parents thought it was a great idea for the two to get hitched. Five kids later and nearly fifty years they were still running strong. It could be that way with her as well. He knew she probably came from something like it as well. He looked at her and could feel her easing as well. Though he wanted nothing to d

When the kids had their fill of the calf and they were getting restless he lifted them over and told them to go see their ma. He helped Sophia over the fence and caught her in his arms as he held her there. He knew all the people who were in groups were watching the pair closely. He grinned as he placed her on the ground for a second and then threw her over his shoulder. He began stalking to the cottage house they were sharing. She wasn’t screaming but laughing instead as he moved faster to the house.“They won’t miss us for a bit.” He said as he chuckled.“Not again.” Sophia said and he roared with laughter as he set her down in the living room.“Noticed I stopped here cowgirl?” he said when he could control his laughter.“Good.” She said as she looked at him. “What is

Micha looked at the shocked faces of the people in front of him. He had been known as the hothead in the family so none of his family was surprised that these people had pushed him to far with their behaviors. His brothers were more surprised that he could stop himself from ripping the man in front of him to shreds or at least beat him till he was nothing more than pulp.Micha could see the looks of confusion set in as they honestly knew how serious he was about getting rid of every single one of them. It was one thing to put the company in danger of a lawsuit but it was completely another to risk the life of someone because they were jealous or felt threatened by the fact his blinders had fallen off.

Sophia went outside with Micha right behind her. She was mad now. She was furious as she could see all of the activity going on in the stables and in the circle. People were slightly wary of Micha at the moment she could see it in their eyes. She turned and looked at him and saw the murderous look he was giving everyone.She had to smile despite the seriousness of everything going on. Sophia looked at the hands in the stable getting up the hay that had been spread around as they were searching for more nails under the mat of hay. The horses were out in the pen and they were walking around. She spotted one that was also favoring one side more than the other. She pointed to it and one of Micha’s brothers took off to go check it out.When he got there it was plain to see the animal was in some pain. He carefully lifted the leg up and sure enough he was there trying to pull somethin
