Kingdom Ranch: Western romance Ten
The sun feels great on my skin. The smell of freshly cut grass and the sound of activity around me is music to my ears. For last two weeks I am brought outside to enjoy the mornings until is time for lunch. He hasn’t made any more appearances, only at night while he thinks I’m sleeping. He comes in goes into his closet, using the flashlight of his phone he rummages through his clothes and then disappears. Is like he’s avoiding me while I’m having silly thoughts he’s outside, probably hooking up with other women while I sleep on his bed or pretend to. “Ready to go in Ms. Kennedy?” “Not really.” I pout instantly. This is the worst part, the agreement was that I was allowed to be outside for a couple of hours as long as I didn’t make any fuss when time was up. “Well, Carla has food ready for ya and is going to rain soon.” I take a look towards the horizon and stare at the grey clouds in the distance. “And if you get wet the boss is going to kill me,” he says all this with a smile on

“WHAT?!” I’m screaming. My brain goes numb, I can believe what I’m hearing. His mouth is moving but I can’t seem to understand why he’s saying. “I’m staying here. Forever?” He nods slowly to what I do the only think I’m capable at the moment, I throw my spoon at him landing square at this chest. “Hey! He said you agreed and dad said it was fine by him and gave his blessing.” Of course he agrees, anything to have me miles and miles away from him. “His blessing? I’m being traded for land?” I was raising my voice and there was no way I was stopping now. “Bring McKinnon here! I have a few words for him.” I’m starting to get up but as soon as my bad foot touches the floor pain shoots up my leg. “I don’t think –“ I let out a scoff and rub my knee. “Rebecca.” He pleads, he actually sounds like someone who used to play chase with me when I was eight. “Go look for him and don’t you dare put any of my stuff in this house.” He bites his lips and scrunches up his face. “You already have, hav

“There’s no deal.” Oh god! I wish I could punch him.“I’m not a thing you can just acquire. “The whole town knows.” I’m infuriated. I want to smack that smug smile right off his face. A good backhand will do. “Come closer.” I say between clenched teeth. He frowns. “Why?” he asks with interest inching closer. “I want to slap you in the face, just a little.” He pulls back, even moves a few inches away. Is comical but I can’t laugh. This is a mess. Why me? Why had I believed that he would help, well he is now but I don’t want to marry him. He is horrible but hot. “I prefer to be slapped somewhere else.” “Pig.” He lets out a surprised dramatic fake gasp and I leer at him. “I’m sorry, did I say that out loud?” I say covering my mouth. “You aren’t as innocent as you look.” He’s sizing me up. Like literally taking a moment to look at me from top to bottom. “I kinda like it.” “Stop.” I take the pillow beside me and throw it at him. He reads my movements and evades it just in time to

I’m trying not to panic.I don’t want to panic.The thing weights a ton and is hard to ignore it. Even more when people keep asking to see it and by people I mean Carla and Lacey. They are helping me move from the big master bedroom to a smaller one. I needed a bit of distance and even when is not far enough. Is just another door down the hall. I welcome the feeling of not having him coming in deep into the night for a change of clothing or something else he might need.Lacey is gushing. Happier than anyone could be about the fact that her longtime friend is getting married to the most coveted mad of town. She’s almost prepared the whole wedding in her head. She has even looked up dresses on her phone and has been showing them to me as we fold clothes on my new bed, is not as comfortable as the other one I had been sleeping on but is not his, his v

“Hurry up boy and stop playing.” He chuckled and in one single movement lift me up. A bit too fast, I screamed a little and made a grab for whatever there was to hold on to him.“Don’t worry. I have you.” Mint with something else, like pine or some other type of tree. Yes, I sniffed him.I sighed and let out a nervous laugh. He was too much.Lacey followed behind us, trying to mimic god knows what while he walked slowly down the stairs. His steps never faltered, nor he stopped. He really didn’t look like the strong type, not like Jimmy’s wide shoulders or Mckinnon’s, well Mckinnon was something that I just couldn’t quite get. He wasn’t as handsome as Eduardo but he was, he was just Mackinnon.“This is our stop, my lady.” He lowered me slowly and even placed my feet on the stool under the

I felt how he tensed up and even stopped moving. I don’t see why, I mean, weren’t they raised like brothers? What’s up with the hostility coming out of McKinnon’s mouth? “Brother.” “Eddy.” I look up to see Eduardo’s face. Is full of confusion and the questioning look he gives me needs an answer. Apparently, he does not know either why the sudden hostility or since no words have come out of my mouth, he surrenders me. A new set of hands make a grab for me and I go willingly is not like I have a choice. I know I cannot fight it, or him. The ring in my finger says it. Keeps reminding me ‘who I belong to’. “Are you ok?” The question sound sincere so I nod. “You want to go outside?” “I was just taking her to her room,” Eduardo says behind us,

“What does it feel like?” Lacey screams from the other side of the changing room. “I don’t know.” I can’t help but grimace at the reflection in the mirror. “Well, do you like it?” “Is white, Lacey. That’s the only requirement.” I’m huffing, working hard to not fall. “Yes, but how does it look?” Her insistence is starting to annoy me. “I can’t stand up straight.” There’s so much you can do with the crutches but standing up straight with is just one thing. The sales lady is helping me with the dresses but still a bit uncomfortable. This is the only one so far and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. Yes, is white and is also long. I need it to be long, so it can cover my messed-up leg. There’s no need to show my scar. “I’m coming in.” She barges in and halts as soon as she spo

Driving is one of the things I'm never doing, I can't help but to think about it as I watch Andreas move the driving stick, push the clutch and then accelerate. Is some complicated business. I don't think that even having a good leg I would be suited for driving. Or maybe I could learn with automatic. I don't know where we are going all he told me was to wear something pretty. After the store incident he's been extra protective and now I am once again secluded to all activities outside the ranch. Or outside my own bedroom. The sky is turning orange and purple, which means we have only a few minutes of daylight left. I can see the sun in the horizon, and the town in the rearview mirror. I'm not trying to guess anymore, not when we are miles away from the restaurants and any other place I know that I assumed he would be taking me. Hell, I'm wearing a damn dress, Is white with soft peach flowers, long sleeves. Is comfortable to wear, hides my boot and my scars. He said

Rebecca sat on her porch, covered in a warm blanket, as the first snowflakes of the season began to fall.

The previous year had been an emotional rollercoaster, but they had made it through together, stronger than ever.The love she shared with Andreas was worth every hardship they endured. If only Lacey were here to share her happiness. She couldn’t wait to tell her, but first Andreas.Just then, the sound of a car approaching broke her reverie.

He stepped out of the car and hurried towards her, his breath creating small puffs in the cold air."Hey, beautiful," he greeted her, leaning in for a sweet kiss.Rebecca's heart skipped a beat as she returned his kiss.

His hand reached out, his fingers tracing a delicate path along her jawline, sending shivers down her spine. "I want you, too," he admitted, his voice husky. Rebecca's breath caught as his thumb brushed over her lower lip, and she leaned into his touch, her eyes fluttering closed. The intimacy of the moment and the electricity in the air made her feel more alive than ever. His fingers trailed down her neck, sending tingles of sensation wherever they touched.

With a warm cup of tea in her hands, Rebecca watched as the sun fell below the horizon from a seat on the porch. The previous week had been a tornado of feelings and encouragement. Now that John was no longer a danger, she felt relieved, but the recollections persisted in the back of her mind. She inhaled deeply, attempting to shake off the residual anxiety. Andreas walked up behind her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him, offering a small smile. He had been her rock through it all, supporting her in every way possible. "How are you feeling?" he asked softly. Rebecca sighed, leaning into his touch. "Better," she admitted. "The weight feels a little lighter now that he's gone." Andreas nodded, his gaze full of understanding. "I'm glad you're safe," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "And I'm here for you, always." She reached up and touched his hand, a silent thank you passing between them. They sat in comfortable silence, the sounds of the evening
Kingdom Ranch: Western romance One-hundred
Rebecca’s heart pounded in her chest as she watched the flashing lights of the police cars in the rearview mirror. John had been trying to evade them for miles, but they finally caught up to them as they attempted to cross the state line. She begged him to stop, to give up, but he only revved the engine and pushed the pedal to the floor. The car swerved through traffic, cutting off other vehicles at a dangerous speed. Rebecca gripped the armrests, her knuckles turning white. She tried to reason with him, telling him that they would only make things worse, but he only laughed maniacally and continued to weave in and out of traffic. Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the car, and the vehicle next to them spun out of control on the freeway. Rebecca’s head slammed against the window, and she let out a scream. Rebecca was panicking, looking out the window and watching the police cars in pursuit. John was driving recklessly, swerving and dodging as the car hit high speeds. "John, pleas

Andreas felt his heart racing as he picked up the book from the floor. It was one of Rebecca's favorites, and he knew she had been reading it before he left to run his errand. The rumpled sheet and Buddy's whining only added to his growing anxiety. He called out for Rebecca, but there was no answer. Panic started to set in as he frantically searched the house, but there was no sign of her. He tried calling her cell phone, but it went straight to voicemail. It was then that he knew that John had taken her again. Andreas felt a wave of anger and frustration wash over him. How could he let this happen again? He had promised to keep her safe, and he had failed. He felt a sense of responsibility and guilt for leaving her alone, even if it was just for a few minutes. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Sheriff Hughs' number. He knew he couldn't do this alone. The sheriff arrived quickly, and together they searched the house and the surrounding area. They scoured the nearby woods, b
Kingdom Ranch: Western romance Ninety-eight
Rebecca tried to calm herself down, taking deep breaths to steady her nerves. She couldn't panic; she needed to think clearly. She looked around the trunk, trying to find anything that could help her escape. But there was nothing, just some old blankets and a spare tire. She tried to open the trunk, but it was locked from the outside. She pounded her fists against the trunk, yelling for help, but she knew it was useless. Her mind raced with different scenarios, wondering where John could be taking her and what he had planned. She had to get out of there, but how? She thought of trying to break the taillight and attract attention, but she didn't want to alert John. She needed to come up with a plan that wouldn't put her in more danger. As the car continued to move, Rebecca's mind drifted back to the moment John had taken her. She thought about her options. She could try to kick her way out, but that would be difficult with her legs cramped in such a small
Kingdom Ranch: Western romance Ninety-seven
John had been sequestered in a small apartment in another state, watching the news constantly for any developments in his case. He was astounded by how quickly everything had degenerated since that evening. Despite his meticulous planning and careful execution, one slip-up caused everything to fall apart. He sorely missed Rebecca because of the way she made him feel alive by laughing at his jokes. He couldn't allow Andreas to separate from him for her. He had been working on a plan, biding his time until the right moment. He knew he couldn't just show up at her doorstep; that would only scare her away. No, he needed to be more subtle and strategic. He had to make her believe that he had changed and that he was a different person. He couldn't risk losing her again. He spent his days researching and gathering information about Andreas and his life. He needed to know his enemy. He needed to know what he was up against. John knew he had the advantage when it came to money, but Andreas w
Kingdom Ranch: Western romance Ninety-six
Andreas sat across from Sheriff Hughs in his office, worry etched deep in his features. They had been discussing John Clark and his ability to stay hidden for so long."He's got enough money to make it happen," Sheriff Hughs said, leaning back in his chair. "But what worries me is the possibility of him returning. You know what he's capable of."Andreas nodded grimly. "Rebecca's nightmares have diminished; she's sleeping better, but she's almost always looking behind her. I've noticed how she starts to have mini attacks whenever she finds herself alone. Not even Buddy has been able to keep her at ease."Sheriff Hughs sighed heavily. "I wish there was more we could do. We've had people keeping an eye out, but he's just too good at covering his tracks."Andreas clenched his jaw. "We can't let our guard down. I won't let him hurt her again."Sheriff Hughs nodded. "I know. We'll keep looking."Andreas stood up, ready to leave. "Thanks for the update, Sheriff. Let me know if you find anyth
