Micha and Sophia were the center of the circle that had gathered around them after everyone had got their bags and they were ready to go. Micha’s voice boomed over the crowd as he explained what was happening next to the rest of them. As he called out names to be in smaller groups everyone was watching Sophia more closely as her name wasn’t called.
“We will be traveling over to the car rental. Make sure you are with your group. Since of the sheer number of us it will take a few trips. I will go first and start the process. One person for each group with be the driver. Once we have the cars I will tell you the address and give you the instructions on how to get there to the ranch.” Micha said and then turned as the group broke off into threes and they waited as they all wanted to get him more to themselves. They were all going to try to get on the same shuttle.
“What got you looking down, cowgirl?” he asked as they got into the car, and he pulled out.“Aren’t you gonna wait for them?” Sophia asked as she looked around and saw everyone still packing up their cars.“Nope,” Micha said. “If they can’t find the ranch that is on them.” Micha stated, “Now answer me.”“I was just thinking. That’s all.” Sophia said in a softer voice.“About?” he prompted. He had an idea of what was bothering her, but he also knew that the female mind was never as easy to understand as it should be. He didn’t want to be the one to assume something when it came to a
Micha started the tour with the main office. During the time, they could see cars starting to arrive from the dirt path. It seemed they were racing to get there and be the first ones there. Micha chuckled when he saw the sight before, knowing they all thought he would be in charge and again they would be trying to get his attention. His brothers were the ones in charge, and they wouldn’t take kindly to some of the antics of these people he had working for him. It was a win-win for him as they could help set them all straight.As they passed through the office and the other facilities that were open to the guests like the wash room, a small gym, a vending machine, and the place the breakfasts were served. They then went outside and saw the corrals up and open. The fences were basic but enough to keep the cows from wandering too far. As soon as they neared the stables, he s
The rest of the people had arrived in groups and were walking around the common areas of the ranch waiting for the next instructions. They saw Micha and Sophia ride in from their small gallop and watched her as she dismounted the horse and walked it back into the stables. She brushed the horse down and then gave him some extra oats. Micha wasn’t far behind her. When she was walking out of the stall he looked her over again and it was like seeing her with new eyes.Sophia had not only impressed his mother to the point she had talked to his father about the younger woman but she had impressed his brothers and father as well. When he had the idea of using her as a shield between his parents and family with himself he had no idea that she would blow all of them away like she had. It was like she was supposed to be there next to him.“Where ya go
“Are you sure?” he asked. Micha knew the thread that was holding his willpower to stop this was being untwined too quickly. Though he would never deny that he wanted this small woman he didn’t want to have her in an unused stall in the barn. Though it seemed she was more than ready.“Micha just stop thinking.” She said as she kissed him again. That was it. The thread snapped in two and his hands went under she shirt going up her back and pressing her harder into him. their mouths never stopped as they both were letting their demons out. It was like they were both possessed slightly and they both felt the heat and hunger that was building between them.Her tiny hands were roaming his back and they were moldin
Micha helped Sophia get right with her clothes and then he straightened himself as well. Though he had no doubt one of his brothers had been close enough to possibly overhear something he knew nothing would be said to the pair. If anything it would be the opposite and they would have made sure people went away. Micha knew about some of their escapades in the stable and knew the code they lived by.As they walked out he looked down at her and saw the slight flush that was still in her cheeks. Though he didn’t think it was because she was embarrassed he wanted to check in with her later about it. He saw his father who was giving him the look that he knew what had just happened. Micha just smiled and looked away. His father wouldn’t dare say anything to
Micha turned back to her as she faced the other direction and somehow he knew this could and probably would be the make it or break it time for them. He wasn’t sure what he really wanted out of this but at the same time he knew exactly what needed to happen. Sophia was too perfect for him. she fit into a place that seemed custom made for only her in his life. He had to think fast.Sophia was trying to focus on this one trip. She had been so tired of the games that people played at work that she had the stupid idea. Micha played on that idea and she had just acted on it. The idea she had sex with her boss was almost a distant memory but at the same time she knew that was a major factor in any decision that she would make again. Micha was simply everything she had ever wanted in her life but she couldn’t bring herself to thin
The two were being watched by everyone at the dinner. Their co-workers were eyeing them both close and his family was watching the other people. Sophia hated being the center of attention. She could feel every eye on her. Knowing that they were all planning to come at her during this trip at sometime was unnerving as well.The idea still stung that they wanted to get her somehow. She had never done anything to them but she knew it was going to get a lot worse before it got better. She would steal looks at Micha. In this setting it was easy to see past the fine polish he had to the man he was underneath. He had the same core values as her. Family was everything. She understood his little talk they had before they came outside to wait for the food though. These were not people who could easily fit into this type of life. Even hobby farm
The small comments were going to happen throughout the night. Micha was growing more hostile with everyone of them though by the end of the night. They were not directed toward him but slipped into small talk that he was overhearing. He had thought he knew these people and now he was finding he had no idea who they really were.Women would throw themselves at him. They didn’t care if it was painfully obvious that he wasn’t remotely looking for a bed partner or a distraction. It seemed the filter he had placed over his eyes to live in the city was falling off. Piece by piece he was caving into a new form of a man. The kind of man that would do anything to protect one small woman. He could feel every comment make his blood boil more.It wasn’t until he looked around and saw his family watching him with dif
