FINLEY POV

She swings her arm stiffly and turns bright red when her ball heads straight for the gutter. I want to laugh, but I also would hate hurting her feelings. She looks so nervous tonight and she already had the embarrassing moment with her shoes when I sat down next to her. I should keep a straight face.

She waits impatiently for her ball to return and manages to knock down four pins on her second attempt. I smile at her as she returns to her seat next to me, but she doesn't smile back. My admission about being behind tonight seems to have shocked her a little and I am not surprised. When I saw her at the gym, I had made it clear to her I wasn't looking for a relationship, and here I am telling her I set up this date.

"I thought you were forced to come tonight," Ann says softly after Carmen takes her turn and I chuckle a little.

I look into her curious blue eyes and the same feelings I got when I saw her laughing with my family come rushing back.

"Not at all," I reply and her

Well them knowing about shifters should make it a little easier on him and Lewis at least they won’t have to hide it from them or figure out a way to bring it up to them. While they will both be super curious and have a gazillion questions at least he knows she is open to it.

  • The Gray Ranch   Happiness

    MISSY POV I gasp as burning desire passes over my skin again. Everywhere that Boyd touches feels as if he is lighting my skin on fire. His big, rough hands against my flesh are absolute heaven, and I can't seem to catch my breath. "Beautiful," Boyd practically growls and I literally shiver with happiness before smiling at him. I can clearly see that his eyes are a blaze with desire for me as he looks over my body, but hearing him say it is so reassuring. "I wish I could see," I whisper and his eyes snap to mine before he rips his shirt from his body as if it were made of paper. "Whatever you desire, Missy. It is yours," he says in a gravely voice before his hand slides up my stomach to palm my breast again. A loud moan breaks past my lips and he smirks before kissing me. I reach for his pants and undo the button, but just before I can push down his zipper, his lips break from mine, and he hisses in pain. He leans away from me and tucks his injured arm back against his body

  • The Gray Ranch   Apology

    BOYD POV"Shit," I say as I drive down the road. As soon as I shut the door and reversed the truck I wanted to turn around. I wanted to instantly apologize to her for assuming I knew anything about her life and feelings, but here I am driving through Oklahoma with a broken arm and nowhere to go. "Shit," I say again before pulling off into a grocery store parking lot. I park and lean my head back against the headrest. How did the day go so wrong so fast? It started out so good. I even had plans to ask her to have dinner with me tonight. Now I can't even see us holding a friendly conversation again before we part ways for good. "Fuck," I mumble before leaning over so I can use my good arm. I pull out my phone and call Mike. He has always been the person I talk stuff out with and I need him now."Wasn't expected to hear from you until you were heading back. Did something happen?" Mike says after the third ring, and I close my eyes as I think about everything that has happened. "Yes

  • The Gray Ranch   Hard Truths

    MISSY POV"Are you sure you are okay," I ask again as I follow behind. The two men in front of me are walking fast, and it is hard to keep up, which would normally piss me off, but my heart is feeling like it is being pinched, so I can't focus on being annoyed. Hank glances at Boyd again almost urging him to respond to me with more than one word, but Boyd ignores him. He grunts out, "I'm fine", and my cheeks begin to feel hot. I don't know why his brush-offs are hurting my feelings, but they are. I remember every moment from last night, and while I did embarrass myself, he didn't seem to be uninterested either. So why is he acting like I am some annoying girl who won't leave him alone? He practically has me racing after him on a gravel road.I trail my eyes over his body and a wave of longing fills me. It's as if he has is a magnet and I am a piece of slutty metal. I want to touch him again. I want him to look at me and grin as if he doesn't have a care in the world. I want him to a

  • The Gray Ranch   Jealousy

    BOYD POV Sweat runs down my back as Jasmine and I corner yet another calf not following its mother through the gate to the sale pen.Jasmine turns back and forth on a dime for about thirty seconds before the little one gets the idea to finally follow its mother.I sigh as the gate closes. I pat Jasmine's sweaty neck and look behind me at the waiting cattle. The bidding only started an hour ago and I am already tired of it. I want to be sitting out in the audience possibly flirting with a certain blonde who kissed me senseless last night. I glance through the slit that gives me a clear view of the audience and smile. Missy looks beautiful and refreshed this morning. There isn't a single sign on her glowing skin that she got so hammered last night she felt me up without any hesitation. As I continue to admire her lack of hangover a big cowboy with blue eyes sits down next to her. He holds his hand out and she shakes it with a smile. He smiles and says something that makes her laugh w

  • The Gray Ranch   Awkward

    BOYD POV I am glad my body is used to little to no sleep. I am awake and Missy isn't. I have the perfect chance of slipping out of here. I slide my jeans on and run a hand through my hair before grabbing my boots. I want to get out of here before Larry and Hank return. My smell has saturated the sheets on their bed so they will know I was here even if I am gone when they arrive, but at least I won't have to face them. I mainly want to leave so I can avoid the awkwardness of "the morning after" with Missy, but explaining to her packmates why I am sharing the room with her isn't ideal either. I tiptoe out of the hotel room while carrying my boots and exhale as soon as the door latches behind me. Missy didn't even move the entire time I was awake, and with luck, she won't remember a thing from the night before. I get down to my truck and drive the five minutes back to my rented round pen all while trying not to think about the blonde I left sleeping all alone. I get the horses taken

  • The Gray Ranch   Kiss Goodnight

    BOYD POV She stumbles again and I tighten my grip around her waist before pressing the button for her floor. "We did it. We are going to be business partners," she slurs, and I nod while sending the human male watching her an intimidating glare. His eyes have been on her body since we walked up to the elevator to wait with him and it is pissing me off. "Stan knows a good deal when he sees one," I say trying to keep her from disclosing too much with a human this close to us. She nods and leans into me. She runs her hand across my chest, which sends a bolt of excitement straight through me that pushes the annoying male to the back of my mind in an instant. "You are so strong," she whispers and I beam down at her. "Ranching builds the muscles whether I want it to or not," I say nonchalantly trying to hide how happy I am she is complimenting my chest. She nods and continues to slide her hand all over my upper torso. The elevator door dings and slides open. I try to
