The Boston Debutante (The Debutante Series Book 1) (8 page)

Don’t you worry there are plenty of women out here that would be happy to let a man put his hands on them. So they don’t have to sneak a feel off you.

Out here we are different. We don’t think or act like those guys in Boston. By the way I’m sorry I called you a bitch. I just l
et my temper get away from me. I get mad sometimes and I say things I don’t really mean to say.”

“Well you are not the first guy that ever called me a bitch.”

He smiled at her while he thought, “I bet every man she has gone out with ends up calling her a bitch.”

Macy looked into his eyes. “I’m sorry I’ll try to settle down.”

She almost choked on her apology. She really didn’t think she should be the one apologizing anyway.

“Listen I have a boyfriend in Boston. As soon as we get back to the ranch I am going to get out of your hair. I’ll go back to him and you will never have to see me again. I don’t know what your mother has up her sleeve but I want no part of it. So you don’t have to worry about me anymore. I won’t be back.”

He looked at her and thought to himself, “If she has such a good thing with this guy in Boston, what is she doing out here to start with?”

Macy dropped back and continued riding with Megan.

“Macy did you apologize to him?”

“Yes and I think he accepted it. At least he got over being mad at me anyway except for hitting him in the head. He says
he is going to get me back for that. I don’t know whether to turn around and take off for the ranch or not. Do you think he is really going to do something to me?

”Macy I told you I would look after you and I will. If he tries to do anything to you I will be in his face before he can.”

“Megan you are going to have to help me get along with him. Turk is totally different from anyone I have been around and I just don’t like him.”

“Well
, all you have to do is relax and go with the flow. He likes to be the boss and he doesn’t like to be bossed around by anyone male or female.”

“Well I think I made him happy. I told him as soon as we got back to the ranch I was going to leave and he would never see me again. That brought a smile on his face.”

“That might make him happy but it won’t make me or Mom happy. We want you to stay out here a while and have some fun. We know you have been having a hard time over losing your parents and we are just trying to make it a little easier for you. We had no idea that Turk was going to act like he has been acting toward you. You must have really pushed the wrong buttons when you two first met.

             
Macy fell silent while the thoughts of what she had heard from the girls in college about domineering men they had gone with. She knew she wasn’t cut out to do something like that.

Macy knew one thing for certain. She wasn’t going to let a man dominate her, especially a cowboy with careless hands. 

She wanted the finer things of life, not stuck on a ranch in the middle of hell with a man that thought he was some kind of king.

Macy had to go to the bathroom all of a sudden.

“Megan what do you do when you have to go to the bathroom out here?”

“Go tell Turk that you have to go. He’ll stop and wait on you.”

“You think he will? He acts like he would rather just ride off and leave me behind.”

“No go up there and tell him. If he won’t wait on you I will. I won’t let you be left out here alone.”

Macy rode up to Turk again and said, “Turk can we stop somewhere? I have to go.”

Turk looked at her like oh no here we go again. She is going to hold us up. He held up his hand and told everyone to stop for a pit stop.

“Where can I go to have a little privacy?” she ask.

“Go over behind that rock. No one will see you.”

Macy slid off her horse and walked over behind the rock.

In a few minutes Turk heard a loud scream behind the rock.

“Damn what has she done now?”

He jumped off his horse and ran around the rock. 

Macy was standing there with her shorts half way up.

She had a hand over her mouth pointing at the rock while she was pulling on her shorts trying to get them up.

Turk looked at her standing there. Then he turned his attention to the rock and saw a rattlesnake coiled under it rattling away.

He pulled out his gun and pointed it at the snake.

He took aim and fired blowing the head off the snake. 

When he turned around she had managed to get her shorts up and was wrestling with the zipper.

Her face was red from letting him seeing her with her shorts partly down and her eyes were wide from being scared by the snake.

Her panties had become hung in the zipper of her shorts. She was tugging with the zipper trying to get it free.

He looked at her and ask, “Macy may I help you or will you feel like I am trying to get fresh with you again?”

She wrestled with the zipper for a second more then she said, “Ok you can try. I can’t get it loose.”

He knelt down in front of her and sat his hat on the ground. As he worked with the zipper she looked down at him. His broad shoulders were massive looking from where she looked.

His hair was so soft looking and had a slight wave to it.

His fingers were working with the zipper carefully to be sure that he didn’t touch her anywhere he shouldn’t.

The back of his hand rested on her bare inner thigh making it difficult for him to concentrate on the task at hand.

As Macy looked down at him she saw he was a big man with strong hands and arms. She knew if he didn’t finish with the zipper pretty soon she was going to panic with him having his hands so close to her.

Macy was so afraid he would touch her just to get a
cheap thrill or throw her down and beat her into the ground for hitting him.

She already knew she wasn’t going to be able to slap him again. He was way to
o big. She wouldn’t stand a chance.

Finally he got the zipper down and without thinking he stuffed her panties inside.

Megan walked around the rock about that time and saw his hand poking in the open zipper. She hollered, “What the hell are you doing Turk?”

“Nothing Megan, mind your own business.”

“Turk, get your hand out of her pants.”

She could see the fear and panic in Macy’s eyes.

“Megan I am just trying to fix her zipper. It was stuck.”

When his fingers touched her again he felt her twitch.

“Sorry Macy I didn’t mean to do that.”

“That’s ok. I know you weren’t trying to do that on purpose. I am just touchy.”

He took her by the hand and led her to her horse with Megan following behind with a grin on her face. 

She was still shaking like a leaf from the sight of the snake so close and Turk could feel it in her hand.

Turk helped her put her foot in the stirrup and he placed his hand on her butt and boosted her up. This time she didn’t slap him.

He had made sure his hand was on the material of the shorts.

He looked up at her and said, “Macy please be careful. I should have warned you to look around before you walk. There are a lot of those snakes around here.”

She sat up tall in the saddle and smiled at him.

“Thank you for fixing my zipper. I will have to be more careful in the future.” 

His heart melted right then looking in her eyes. Her eyes got a twinkle to them when she smiled. He fumbled to mount his own horse. She was being nice to him for once. It was really the first time her smile looked more sincere then the smirk she had given him several times.

Megan rode up to Macy and asked, “What just happened?”

“Oh nothing, Turk just had to help me get my panties out of my zipper.”

“Oh my God, he won’t be worth a damn the rest of the trip. I bet you got him all shook up.

That’s why I don’t wear anything under my shorts. I hate it when the zipper gets hung on my panties like that.”

“Megan I wasn’t trying to get him shook up. I just couldn’t get my underwear out of my zipper.”

Macy looked ahead toward Turk. He was riding along looking off in the distance.

If only Macy knew what was on his mind. He was thinking about what he did just like Megan had said. Megan knew Turk like a book.

He was broken out of his trance when Macy rode up beside him again.

“Turk how much did you see back there?”

He stuttered as he answered. “I didn’t see anything.

I was too busy trying to see what you were screaming about. Besides I was gentlemanly enough to turn away from you.”

“Thank you Turk. I was so embarrassed letting you see me like that but that snake scared the s…t out of me. All I was thinking about was that snake. I wasn’t thinking about my pants still being half way down to my knees. I was squatting right in front of that snake. He could have bitten me right on the behind.”

Turk grinned and replied, “Don’t worry I would have sucked the poison out.”

“In your dreams big boy, you are not going to put your lips on my behind not even to kiss it.”

“I bet you would have let me because if I didn’t you would die.”

“Well it didn’t happen so we don’t have to worry about it do we.”

“Macy just for your information, all of us has snake bite kits complete with suction bottles so no one would have to suck poison out with their mouth. That is dangerous anyway.”

Turk just grinned and Macy faded back to Megan.

“I think he saw more than he let on. He just had that look on his face. You know what he said to me?”

“What?”

“He said if I would have gotten bit on the butt by that snake he would have sucked the poison out.”

“And what was your reply?”

“In your dreams big boy, you’re not putting your lips on my behind even to kiss it.”

Megan cracked up.

They rode on without any more trouble till they reached the shack about noontime.

       
CHAPTER V

   
A STORM IS BREWING

Turk got off his horse and went over to Macy. He offered his hand to help her down. Macy took his hand and threw her leg over the horse. He grabbed her around the waist. Turk let her slide down his chest again like the first time he had helped her off her horse.

When she reached the ground she looked up into his eyes as she felt the feeling again she had the first time he held her like that. She could feel her face turning red again. She had never been that tight against a man and it felt good to her. Surly he could tell that she was having those feelings.

He smiled and released her. He was having his own feelings.

“Macy, get Megan to put some first aid cream on your lip. It still looks a little puffy. I’m sorry you hurt yourself.”

“Thank you Turk, I’ll get her to look at it.”

She walked over to Megan still feeling warm all over.

“Megan, do you have a little cream I can put on my lip?”

She got the first aid cream out of her saddlebag and handed it to Macy.

“Way to go girl. A few more of those and he is going to be all goofy over you. You are getting that man’s attention.”

“What are you talking about Megan?”

“The way you slid down the front of Turk. I could see his look of pleasure all the way over here. Didn’t you know you were doing that to him? I swear I could see his eyes roll back in his head.”

“I wasn’t trying to do anything. I was just getting off the horse. I don’t want
any man all goofy over me. I wish he wouldn’t do that to me when he helps me off my horse.”

Megan laughed.

They went inside and put their saddlebags in the makeshift room that Turk made out of some sheets. Turk had closed off one corner with sheets so Megan could have some privacy when she came along. She stuck an extra cot in there for Macy.

There was a wood burning stove setting in one end of the one room shack and a table and chairs in the center of the room. All the way around the walls was lined with cots for the men.

There were windows that shutters covered when no one was there but there was no glass in them. The open windows allowed a breeze to blow through the shack when the wind was blowing keeping it a little cooler in the summer.

A picture pump was just outside the door for drinking water.

Out the back door was an outhouse. They only used it in the daytime. At night they all kept cans under their bunks. 

The beds were all army surplus cots Turk had bought at an auction.

Once every one got settled in Buck started fixing lunch. He usually did all the cooking out on the range. 

He threw some steaks and potatoes on the stove and started making a big pot of coffee. The smell of steak sizzling soon filled the room.
