grabbed a six-pack of beer to drink on the way back to the ranch. After his encounter with Macy he knew he needed a drink to cope with her. She had been a real snot to him. It bothered him the way she acted. He would much rather get along with women than to be fighting them.
He put everything he could in the saddlebag and he hung the rest over the saddle horn. He finished off the six-pack before he got back to the ranch.
As soon as he got back to the ranch he rode straight into the stable. He sat Macy’s clothes on a table and unsaddled his horse. Turk looked at his horse and gave him a big hug before he put him in a stall. He loved his old horse. They had been on many adventures together.
When he had the gate closed he picked up the clothes and walked to the house.
Turk walked in carrying a load of bags in his hand.
He threw them on the couch beside Macy looking at her with a contemptuous look on his face. Maude spotted it right away and knew things were not going well between Macy and Turk.
“Well did you get everything I sent you after Turk?”
“Yes ma’am the only thing I did different was got a size larger bra. After I saw her I knew that the size you gave me was too small. She has a pretty good rack for a city woman.”
Macy looked at her aunt with a look of surprise and embarrassment on her face.
“I can’t believe you two are discussing my bra size. I don’t think my bra size is up for discussion. We don’t discuss things like that in Boston in mixed company.”
Maude and Turk looked at each other with a grin on their face.
Miss. Maude said, “It’s for sure that Turk is very observant on that sort of thing. I have a feeling that he has seen his share of bras. Out here we talk about all kinds of topics to each other. It’s just another piece of clothing to us. You might as well get used to it. These men say what’s on their mind.”
Turk just grinned one of his full-faced crooked grins and he winked at Macy. He knew Macy probably wouldn’t like his blasphemous wink but he wanted to keep her fired up.
Macy thought to herself, “He’s sure got nerve looking at me like that. He’s such a pig. He probably got his hands in women’s bras all the time around here.”
She wasn’t far from right. He was wondering what she looked like under her short skirt? The way she was setting on the couch half her thigh was exposed, there wasn’t a lot to imagine.
Turk sat down in a chair and looked at Macy. “Did that smooth skin go all the way up to her butt cheeks?” Another couple inches and he could see for himself? It was a good thing Macy didn’t know what he was looking at and thinking.
He turned his eyes away from Macy’s legs and said, “Mom I’ve got to take a few men and go to the line shack in the morning. Buck came in this morning before I left for town and told me there is some fence down and we are going to have to round up the cattle that got out before the wonder off too far.
Maude got a disappointed look on her face. She wanted Macy to spend some time with Turk and work out their differences. She was hoping to set around with them and talk about something that wouldn’t cause any confrontations.
After she thought about it for a few minutes she came up with an idea. “Macy I would like you to go with the men in the morning. This is a perfect time for you to see what ranch life is like.”
“Aunt Maude I am tired from my trip. Besides I can’t ride a horse and I have no intention of going off with a bunch of strange men I know nothing about. I came out here to relax and visit with you. Not go riding all over the country with people I don’t know.”
“Mom I don’t want her along anyway. I don’t think we can get along and she will just get in the way. We have work to do and I bet she has never done a lick of work in her life. It would kill her if she had to lift a finger to do anything.”
Macy stood there with a funny look on
