Coming Home The Carter Clan Chapter 18
AustinUgh, alarm clocks suck. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It's like that Duncan Donut dude saying, "time to make the donuts," but for me, it's "time to feed the horses." Don't get me wrong, I love my time with the horses, but I hate mornings.Lane shows up, and I help him unload his horse and get settled in the bunkhouse. I asked him if he wants breakfast, but he's all good. He wants to unpack and then meet me at the house at eight to chat about some stuff.I go inside and whip up some biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I brewed some coffee, and soon enough my motley crew of friends showed up. Lucky them, getting to sleep in. I'm a tad jealous, to be honest."Hey sis, what's that delicious smell?" Declan asks as he walks over to the stove. He turns around and exclaims, "You made your signature homemade biscuits and gravy?""Yep, I sure did, man child," I laugh."Hey, don't be mean. Your homemade biscuits and gravy are the bomb! I'm gonna leave here needing elastic pant

CortlandAustin is a talented cook. Her roast was incredibly tender, and the sides were also well done. However, I need to be mindful of my calorie intake if I plan on eating here often. Additionally, I need to figure out how to bring up the topic of us living together. Since she already owns a ranch, it would make more sense for me to move in with her. However, I will wait until her current guests leave before discussing this with her.Stacy is usually a good eater, but tonight she is more interested in playing with the puppy. Austin was able to convince her to come to the table by explaining the importance of allowing the puppy to eat dinner and then wait for an hour before playing. This is especially important for large dogs with deep chests as they are prone to bloating. By feeding the puppy in a raised bowl and giving it time to digest before being active, we can prevent any potential health issues. Though Stacy was initially unhappy, she quickly understood the importance of taki

AustinAs I lay in Cort's embrace, I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort that I haven't felt in a long time. It's strange to admit, but being close to him feels good. However, I'm also aware of the fact that this could lead to something more serious. I've always been independent and the thought of becoming a housewife is not something that appeals to me. It's not that I have anything against it, it's just not my personal aspiration. I've always wanted to build my own life, and I'm uncertain of how Cort might react to that realization.I wonder what type of partner Cort would be interested in. But honestly, why am I even thinking about Cort and marriage? I need to focus on my own life and not let my emotions distract me. I have worked tirelessly to build my business and develop my skills in horse training. I cannot allow a man to hinder my progress. These are the thoughts that put me to sleep at night.I wake up in the morning and Cort joins me to help feed the horses. Although

I have already completed my runs and they were both clean and fast, putting me in second and third place in the 1D division.Austin is calmly walking her horse around the arena while the ground crew is prepping the surface.

AustinUpon awakening, a moment of confusion overcame me as I struggled to recall my surroundings. It took but a moment before my memory returned, and I came to the realization that I was in the hospital. The events leading up to my hospitalization flooded my mind, with memories of my horse falling during a run and my subsequent awakening in a helicopter. The noise of the aircraft made communication impossible, and my desperate inquiries about my horse's condition were met with confusion. Upon arrival at the hospital, I continued to seek information about Vanna's condition, but my efforts were in vain. I observe Cort, who is sleeping uncomfortably in a recliner chair. My emotions soften as I see him in this vulnerable state. Although my practical side urges me not to become too attached due to our past, my fears are slowly dissipating. It's comforting to have someone who cares so deeply, even though I was initially upset that he thought I couldn't protect myself. In moments like the

CortlandAccompanying Austin to her room with a bag of my clothes and essentials stirs up mixed emotions. On one hand, I'm eager to spend time with her, but on the other hand, I know that she may be expecting more than just cuddling. I can't deny that I also desire more intimacy with her, but I have to be mindful of her health. Additionally, I'm frustrated that she believes her accident was entirely random. While it's possible, I can't help but feel that there may be more to the story. I don’t believe in coincidences. As Austin heads off to the bathroom to prepare for bed, I take off my clothes, leaving only my boxers, and settle in. While staring up at the ceiling, I hear the door open and see Austin emerge wearing one of my t-shirts. I let out a groan, feeling aroused and noticing precum leaking into my boxers.Austin crawls into bed and turns to face me, her eyes filled with desire. I'm aware that we'll be living together for the next two weeks, and I'm not sure if either of us ha

AustinI am currently in the process of working on Stacy's saddle. I have set up the printer to print the saddle tree, and while it is being printed, I am cutting out pieces of leather and working on the tooling pattern that Stacy has chosen. As time passes, I realize that it's lunchtime when my stomach starts growling. I take a break and head to the barn office to grab Declan and have lunch.I walk into my home office and lean against the door frame. Cortland is sitting in the chair, talking on the phone with his back turned to me. I admire his profile for a moment, grateful to have found someone who truly understands me. While I value my independence, it's comforting to have someone who cares about me. Without Cortland, I would have woken up alone in the hospital with no one to look after Vanna while I was there.I appreciate Cortland and his family for their support. It's great to see Carrington warming up to me. Although I sometimes worry about potential issues in our relationshi

We are attending a black-tie event, so we need to find evening gowns. Additionally, I have been unable to schedule a lunch date with Cadee, so I am looking forward to spending some quality time with my girlfriends."Why do you have to go out for the whole day? Could you have ordered a dress online instead?" Cort asks, expressing his concern. Just to clarify, there haven't been any other issues. However, Cortland persists in questioning the detective."Cort, it's not like I'm leaving

CortlandIt's crazy to think that it's already been a year since Carly was born. She definitely made quite an entrance into this world. I remember the doctor yelling "Emergency c-section, stat!" and I was so nervous. I prayed with all my heart. When the doctor finally came out, they told me it was touch and go for a moment. If they had waited just five minutes longer, things could have been very different. But I'm so grateful that both Carly and Austin made it through. My wife is truly amazing! She came back home after four days and immediately hopped on her futurity colts like a pro. However, I was a bit worried as her doctor had advised her to wait until her stitches were removed. Even though I tried to convince her to wait, she was determined to proceed with caution. At least she took it slow, which was a relief. The highly anticipated day has finally arrived, and we are all eagerly heading towards our very first futurity event. Austin is all set to showcase her exceptional trai

I had just finished a Zoom meeting when I received a call from Austin, telling me about an attempted abduction at school. My heart raced as I rushed to the school immediately.My mom, who had a police scanner, called me to tell me about the call for an officer to the school. She knew I was already on my way. It was no surprise when I arrived to see the police right behind me.But when I got to the school, my fear was replaced with anger. Austin had put herself in danger by stepping in, and I couldn't shake the feeling that this was related to the other incident at the horse show.My anger turned to passion when Austin stood up to me. Damn, she was hot as fuck. My dick hardened again just thinking about it. And then she said it - she liked being dominated.As I sit here, my mind wanders back to that moment.

AustinThe past month has been hectic but overall awesome. We managed to pass the inspection with Child Protective Services and the boys are adjusting well. Ryder is a typical guys' guy. When he isn't in school, he is usually with either Lane or Cortland, who have been teaching him The Method, the system we use to train our horses. He sits and watches the training videos from my monthly membership whenever he is inside, which isn't often. It's great to see him learning something he enjoys, and he is really getting into it. Lane and Cortland have been great, and I am so thankful to have them in my corner. They are helping him become a better, more well-rounded person and it's nice to see how much he is benefiting from their guidance. Overall, the last month has been hectic but full of joy and progress.Levi is an active and curious young boy who loves spending time with his friends Lane and Cortland.

AustinI did it! After several hours of stressful work, I purchased all the horses, and we are now on our way back to my farm to unload them. I had set out to save Ryder and Levi from being separated from each other, and I was successful in my mission. I am a proud “boy mom”, and another one on the way. I am also unconventionally engaged, and I just texted mom to let her know to come over to the farm. I can’t wait to see the look of surprise and joy on her face that I know will be there. I am looking forward to spending some time with the family, unloading the horses, and celebrating with the boys.When Cortland and I finally arrived home, we were relieved to see that our moms were already there, just getting out of their vehicle. It was perfect timing! My Mom looked over at us, then all the trailers that were loaded up, and gave us an approving nod. It had been a long day and we were both tired from the lengthy drive, but we had made it.“Looks like you got a few horses,” Mom says.“
