Coming Home The Carter Clan Chapter 23
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

It's been two months since I got injured, and the Barrel Racing season is ending. Unfortunately, I couldn’t accumulate enough points in the Wyoming region of the Barrel Racing Association due to my mid-season move. However, I did manage to win the Barrel Racing Championship in our Breed Registry, along with Cortland and his family who also placed. We're now making arrangements to attend the Annual Banquet and Awards Ceremony.Today, I have plans to meet with Emberlynn and Stacy in Casper for some shopping. 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

Cortland,It's been a week since I had to ask Austin to leave. Despite her attempts to contact me, I haven't responded to any of her calls or messages. Which stopped after the third day. I couldn't bring myself to return to the event where everything went down. Carrington informed our family that Austin wasn't feeling well, but I didn't stick around to find out more. Instead, I wandered around town for a while before heading back to our hotel. When I got there, Austin was gone along with her belongings. Although I had hoped to see her, I knew deep down that it was unlikely. My emotions were mixed as I tried to sort through my thoughts. While my heart still held feelings for her, my rational mind knew that she was likely gone for good. I didn't want to believe that she had purposely become pregnant to trap me, but there was a nagging suspicion in my mind. Despite all of this, I missed her terribly. I threw myself into my role as CEO of our family's luxury hotel business to keep myself

AustinAs my mom and stepdad enter the room, I notice that the Carters are not with them. My mom surprises me with her next words. "I love you and I want what's best for you. So, what's your plan?" she asks.I’m planning to move back here and raise my child during the week, then go to Wyoming on the weekends so Cortland can be with his child. I've already explained this to everyone."My tone is calm and realistic, as I try to convey my intention to take responsibility for my child's upbringing while also maintaining a relationship with the father."I'm sorry, but I've made a decision," my mom informs me. "You'll be returning to Wyoming, where you'll live. Your stepfather and I will be joining you there."Confused, I ask, "What do you mean?""We wanted to surprise you," she explains. "We've already secured a place in Wyoming, not too far from the ranch. We want to be closer to you and our grandchild, and I also want to reconnect with my best friend.""I'm not sure if I want to return

CortlandI am sitting wallowing in my stupidity when Carrington sits beside me. I look out the corner of my eye at him and see he has a split lip. Did Austin punch him? The more important question is what he does to cause her to hit him. “Why are you bleeding?” I ask.“Austin’s friend showed up and punched me in the mouth.” He says with a smirk.Okay, not the response you expect from someone who just got hit in the face. I don’t say anything; I simply give him a questioning look. Declan was there when we showed up, and he immediately went to Cadee and Stacy.“Oakleigh hit me. She also happens to be Annie Oakleigh.” He speaks. That gets my attention.“That girl you, Coldwell, and Camden talk about. The porn star?” I ask. I don’t think she is a porn star. I never watched her. Not that I’ve not watched porn. It's simply that she did educational videos or some shit. I do not need sex education. Not cocky, just the facts.“She doesn’t do porn. She isn’t having sex. She in

AustinHow in the hell are all the flights to Wyoming booked? The only plane I can get Oakleigh and me on is private. I can’t get any information on who owns this plane, but this has the Carter’s written all over it. I could rent a car and drive, but the doctor said no if I found out Cortland had anything to do with this. I’m going to let Oakleigh hit him. Which she is all for, by the way. I guess I have no choice. I can’t stay here since my family is moving to Wyoming. So what choice do I have. I’ll make Oakleigh sit by me, and Cortland can stuff it. Yes, I’m being stubborn, and I don’t care.Oakleigh and I arrive at the airport the next day and are escorted to the private plane. A gentleman takes all our bags, and we board. Surprisingly it is empty. We pick our seats and enjoy the spaciousness. The seats are leather and roomy. This is nice. A girl could get spoiled if she didn’t suspect her betraying ex of setting this up.My suspicions are confirmed when Coldwell boards

CortlandLeaving Austin tonight was the hardest thing I have had to do. As I sit on the plane, I can't help but think of the love that I left behind. When she fell asleep in her seat, I immediately got up and reached to pick her up. But her friend stopped me and read me the riot act. I had to promise to ensure she and the baby were comfortable.As I lay next to her, with my hand on her lower abdomen, I was fascinated to know my child was growing in there. But the reality was that I had left her alone, pregnant, and feeling abandoned. I was the man who promised to be there for her, but I let her down. It was a mistake that I would regret for the rest of my life.I had planned to propose to her once she collected her award during the banquet. But I pushed her away, and she left without receiving the recognition she deserved. I was a bastard for letting her go and not contacting her.As I scrub my hand down my face, I know that I need to make things right. I need to go back and have a do

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

It has been a challenging few weeks, but we are supporting each other as we navigate through it.I just had a really good talk with my love, and I feel like we're making progress.

CortlandAs I sit in the office recalling the day, my mind is filled with a mix of emotions. 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. The power dynamic between us had shifted, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitem

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. His interests have recently shifted to computers, and with the help of his mentor Cold

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.“
