The Boston Debutante (The Debutante Series Book 1) (5 page)

“No, I don’t think so Aunt Maude. I’m going to go lie down for a while and make up my mind if I want to go home.”

She knew her aunt must be up to something but she couldn’t out her finger on just what she was up to. Her Aunt Maude
was awfully insistent on her going for some reason but she didn’t know why.

Macy didn’t want to go with that creep Turk but she didn’t want to upset her aunt. She had heard so much about the west and it had he curiosity up so she made up her mind she would go if nothing else other
than to aggravate Turk. Maybe things would get so bad her aunt would tell her she had to leave.

Macy took the clothes and went upstairs.

When she had left Maude turned to Turk and said, “Boy you go up there and you apologize to her. I was very close to my sister and I don’t want anything to happen to her little girl.

She told me about you being rude to her in town and I won’t put up with that. She just lost her parents in an airplane crash. She is having a hard time right now and you don’t need to be giving her a hard time.”

“Yes ma’am but the range is no place for a city girl like her. She is going to hold us up and she has an arrogant attitude that will get all the men mad.

She called Mildred a slut. I don’t like her calling Mildred names.”

Mildred was the best-looking woman about his age around there and even though they weren’t going together any more he still had feelings for her.

“Well then this is the perfect time for her to get some experience and I am sure you can get that arrogance out of her if you turn on your charm. I haven’t seen a woman yet that can resist that charm so be nice to her and maybe try to flirt with her a little. I am sure she will change her attitude if you do that. She might be a big city woman but she has the same feelings and desires as any other woman.

Give her a few of your big smiles, be nice to her and she will be putty in your hands. She hasn’t been around anyone but those lacey drawered men in Boston. Show her what a real man is like.

You have to put all that macho man stuff aside while you are around her till she gets to know you.

By the way I think she called Mildred the right name. I feel the same way about her. She’s not good for you Turk.”

Turk went to Macy’s room and knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s Turk, can I come in? I want to apologize to you for being rude to you today.”

“Come in.”

“Macy I want to apologize to you for being so crude. I really would like for you to go with us tomorrow. I’ll look out for you. I want to get to know you better. So what do you say? You’ll have fun and maybe we can start over.”

              “Turk if you really mean it I’ll go but I have never touched a horse much less rode one.”

             
“I’ll teach you. Come on outside.”

             
“Ok, let me change clothes first.”

Turk just shook his head and walked out the door.

When he got outside he stood on the porch shuffling his feet and trying to figure out some way to get out of taking her in the morning.

“Maybe she will be afraid enough of horses to refuse to go. I don’t like her and I have got to figure out a way to get Mom to change her mind.”

The trips to the line shack were special to Turk and the other men. They always got drunk and played cards till daylight then they would go out early and get their work done. As soon as they were through they would come back to the shack and sleep till late afternoon.

The next morning they would ride back to the ranch.

Macy put on her clothes and they all fit to her amazement. She was almost hoping that the bras Turk bought her would be the wrong size but they weren’t damn him. She didn’t want Turk to know what kind of personal information about her.

She came down the stairs just as Turk came in the door. 

She was complaining about the boots hurting her feet and the jeans being too tight.

Turk looked at the jeans and they looked just right to him. Her figure filled them completely showing off her fine shape. The shirt she wore was tight against her breast.

“Damn Macy you look good dressed like a real woman.”

Maude slugged Turk on the arm.

“Turk you shut up that kind of talk.”

“Yes ma’am, I’m sorry Macy.”

Maude said, “Those boots will form to your feet when your feet sweat a little. I can tell by how your clothes fit that Turk picked them out. He likes women’s clothes to show off their figure and those sure do. He thinks you should dress like the other women out here.

Come on Macy lets go pick you out a horse.”

Maude and Macy walked out to the stables with Turk.  When they walked in the barn Macy looked around. Both sides were lined with stalls.

Turk started saddling his horse while Maude showed her the horses. 

They walked slowly as Maude explained all the qualities of each one of the horses. When they reached the far door they stopped. Macy walked in the center of the isle the whole way so she didn’t get to close to the horses. She was afraid that one of them might bite or try to kick her.

“Which one do you like best?”

Macy looked up and down both sides.

“I would rather not take any of them.  They all look so big and mean to me.”

“There’s not a horse here that would harm a hair on your head dear. All our horses are real gentle creatures.”

Turk was on his horse outside the door listening to their conversation and hoping Macy wouldn’t choose one.

He shook his head and thought, “This is going to be a really bad trip. I hope she refuses to go. Wait till I tell the other guys that we have to baby set the bosses niece.”

When he told Tracy and Shields about their guest they ask to stay behind right away. They knew they would not be able to have any fun with a big city woman tagging along. 

Turk said, “No way are you clowns going to stay here. If I have to go you two are going to. 

We are also going to have Buck with us, and probably Megan also. Maybe Megan will be able to keep her out of our hair.”

“Well it’s going to be rough on her out there. We like Megan but from what Roy told us this Macy is going to be a pain in the butt.

He said she is stuck on herself and thinks we are suppose
d to wait on her hand and foot.

We aren’t waiting on a woman hand and foot. When we finish with her she will high tail it back to Boston where she belongs.”

“That’s what I want guys. That way I can get her out of here and I can’t be blamed for doing it.”

Roy laughed. “When you guys see her you guys are going to be bending down and kissing her ass.  She thinks she’s not only thinks she is hot and she is. 

She doesn’t look like any of the heifers around these parts and she has real class. The only trouble with her is that Boston prim and proper attitude she has is going to get in our way.”

              The other guys stopped laughing. It hadn’t occurred to them that she might be a real looker.

About that time Macy came limping out of the stable with Maude in her skintight jeans and her shirt showing her firm breast straining against the material.

“Damn Turk that is what is going with us? You don’t mind if I put a few moves on her do you?”

“Tracy she is off limits to
all of you hands. Keep our hands to yourself. I want to get rid of her not have every cowpoke trying to make time with her.” 

Maude looked at them with a stern look on her face. She knew right away what they were looking at. 

The men were standing there staring with their mouths almost drooling.

              “You men better be perfect gentlemen with my niece or you are going to have to answer to me when you get back. 

Now get everything loaded up for tomorrow and get your asses out of here before I take my shotgun to the bunch of you.”

“Yes ma’am we are on our way.”

She handed Turk the
reins to Macy’s horse and told him to take it to the corral.

They stood there long enough to watch as Maude and Macy walked back to the house. 

When Maude and Macy went in the house the men started talking to each other again.

“Man how would you guys like to take her out for a steak.

Turk spoke up. “You guys better be good or you won’t have to wait for Miss Maude to get a hold of you. If anything happens to that girl I will have to answer for it. I am not going to take the fall for you guys.  We are going to have to be nice to her and keep her out of trouble or we are going to pay for it when we get back.”

They grinned at him. 

“Shields, I think Turk has taken a liken to her.” 

“I hate her guts. Y
ou two just behave yourselves. You know I don’t have to put up with your sarcasm. I can have any girl in town I want. In fact, I got propositioned by Mildred today in town. If I want a woman all I have to do is go to town and look her up.”

Stacy grinned, “You aren’t going to try and fool around with Macy are you Turk? You know Miss Maude would kill you if you touched that girl. Besides that she is technically your cousin and you know what they say about rednecks and cowboys. Beside that there is no woman in town that looks like that. She is
too hot for you.” 

Turk stood upright and replied, “She is not my cousin. I don’t like her kind. I love real cowgirls.  They are the wild ones that you can have fun with. Not some stuck up prude like her. When they want something, they go for it.

This girl would make you work for it and I am not the type of guy that wants to spend all that time working for it just to get turned down in the end because she thinks she is too good for me.”

“Turk I don’t want to hurt your feelings but she is too good for you. You are too damn ugly to have someone that looks like her.”

“Speak for yourself Roy. If I wanted her I could have her.”

Turk got Roy to saddle up a horse for Macy. He took them out to the corral while Turk went inside to get Macy. When he walked in she was setting on the couch talking to Miss Maude.

He looked at her and to his surprise he saw a twinkle in her eyes. He hadn’t noticed it before. All he had seen was a hatred look in her eyes.

“I have the horses in the corral ready for the lesson Macy.” 

Macy looked at her aunt for encouragement before following Turk outside. 

Miss Maude said, “Go on out with Turk. I will be along in a minute to see how things are going.”

She gave Turk a quick cutting look. Turk knew right away what the look meant.

Macy walked out to the corral with Turk.

“Turk I don’t want to be at odds with you on our trip tomorrow. We have to get along with each other for your Mom’s sake. We don’t have to like each other, just get along.” 

              “Babe we could be real good friends if you would give it a chance. I think you are cute and I would like to get to know you better. I am willing to get along if you are.”

“Ok no more cutting remarks. I will try to bite my tongue.”

As soon as he closed the gate he walked her over to the horse she would be riding.

“This is Sam. He is the gentlest horse we have. Let’s get you mounted.”

Macy looked up into Turk’s eyes with a helpless look.

“I don’t really want to get on that smelly horse Turk. Why don’t you just tell Aunt Maude you couldn’t get me to get on the horse and let it go at that? I don’t want to go and you don’t want me to go.”

              “That won’t work. If she comes out here and sees you are not on the horse she will put you up there herself and then kick my butt. Somehow she will find a way to blame it on me and I stay in enough trouble with her as it is. Once she makes up her mind to something she is going to do it come hell or high water. Put your foot in the stirrup and grab the saddle horn.”

She put her hand on his shoulder for balance. She tried but she couldn’t reach the stirrup with her foot.

“We are going to have to get you a longer set of stirrup straps.”

Turk cupped his hands and said, “Put your foot in my hand and I will boost you up.”

She did as he said and he about threw her over the saddle. She felt like a feather in his hands.

“Damn what do you weigh, twenty pounds?”

“No I weigh a little more than that.” 

Once she was setting in the saddle holding the horn Turk got on his horse and grabbed her
reins. She was shaking like a leaf. She felt like she was going to fall off any second. Turk could see the panic in her eyes.

“Just relax in the saddle. We aren’t going anywhere.” 

He walked the horses around the corral a few times before he stopped. 

He pulled the
reins across the horse’s head and said, “Take these in your hands and do as I say.” 

She released the horn and took the
reins in her hands.
