A company trust building trip turns into a trip home to the company’s CEO Micha Moran. He takes the group back to the ranch he grew up on. While there he finds that Sophia is also a farm girl and she proves to be much more to him then he planned on when a deal between them for two weeks could turn into forever. A true statement was you can take the person off the farm but not the farm out of the person. Sophia proves this to herself and to her boss who doesn't stay her boss for very long. They have everything the other wants in a partner. As they build their life together from the foundations of the farms they grew up on everything else finds its place easily.

Sophia Phealn absolutely hated the new company she worked for. If it wasn’t the long hours or weekends she was called into work, it was the executives always looking too long at her in a way that she hated. She knew she was pretty but pretty average when it came to looks, but the fact she was only five feet tall and rather well endowed with very large breasts, she was something that caught the eye and held it for most men.

She had learned this at a young age when her mother had forced her to wear binders around her chest to keep men from looking as she was really developed a little to young. Her mother hid behind the idea that women should be looked at, but only when they were old enough to understand the reasons why. Her mother and older sisters had no issues flaunting themselves at any man, but for Sophia, it was simply not okay. The clothes she would have wanted to wear also were not the ones her mother would buy for her. Though tiny in body frame, her mother wanted her to wear clothes that were about six sizes larger than her frame was. It was difficult for the young girl as she went off to school and then the business world and had no idea what size she really was.

She had basically been taught that she had to hide her body away because it was too distracting for the men around her. Though she wore the same suits as the other woman in the office, she always seemed to stand out from the others, even in her oversized clothes.

This latest meeting she had been forced into was the straw that broke the camels back for her, though. She had worked for the company for just less than a year, and this was the first time she had heard of the companies policies for team building. The trip that lasted two weeks and would be paid for by the company for the top-level staff was just that, the annual team-building exercise. She shook her head, knowing she would be forced to work closely with the people who had the same mindset as her loving mother.

As she tried to spin the idea in her head that this could be a good thing. She knew how it would really turn out to be. A bunch of drunken men hitting on her the entire time even if she was covered head to toe in burlap. Nothing about this vacation as some were calling it would turn out well for her. As she tried to focus on the trip and the information on it, she wanted nothing more than to start drinking instead.

They all would be going to a ranch in the middle of nowhere. The ranch would host a large number of activities where everyone would have to work together to complete the tasks to get the credit. Teams would be broken down randomly, and everyone would have the chance to work with everyone else during the trip. It was a way to get everyone on board for the next huge business merger that would be happening a few months after the trip.

It seemed that everything was wrapped up with a bow on it. The people in the room, for the most part, looked like they might enjoy the trip entirely. She could hear people making plans for it as they looked for the information on the ranch itself to see the place they would all have to go.

Sophia sighed in her seat, wondering how she could get out of it. Though she knew it was required, the idea of going to a working cattle ranch didn’t seem all that appealing to her. She had experience with cattle. The daughter of a dairy farmer it had been a large part of her life while she was growing up. Though her mother might have been a little more in the spotlight, Sophia learned how to really handle herself because of her father. That was her balance in life. The idea of vacationing with cows almost seemed like a joke to her, and she wanted to both laugh and cry.

Sophia got up with everyone else, and then she overheard the comments from the group of men in front of her. “Well, at least we will have a nice view.” One of them said. She knew he was in charge of the auditing department, and though she was drawing a blank on what his real name was, she always thought of him as an Opie. Sophia didn’t mind giving them names that were more apt than their actual name. She somehow did manage to keep them to herself.

“I mean, the assets of some are so huge the horse riding part of this will be relaxing, at least for us.” The team leader for the insurance part of the company smiled as he nodded to the back of them. Sophia inwardly shook as she thought these morons couldn’t be any more obvious. Though she knew it was borderline sexual harassment as was most of their actions, she also knew that she wanted to keep her job. Though it was told over and over again not to tolerate it, Sophia knew what would happen if she did report their conversations. She would be fired for something else, and it would be swept under the carpet, and they would have a new target somewhere in the company.

“This is the best one yet.” The department chair of human affairs said with a certain glee. “Maybe some of the newer people will finally relax and open up.”

“You mean something like spreading their……wings.” The insurance leader smiled.

“Yes, of course, Their wings would be nice.” Human affairs guy said with a smile as he also looked in back of them towards Sophia. This was the point she felt sick. Going to her office and shutting the door, she wanted to hang her head down. She really hated everyone at the moment. She just needed peace and quiet, and the four hundred spreadsheets she needed to go over for the meeting she had four days from now. She was going to immerse herself in a simple task while she took notes. After the meeting, she could dread the company trip.

Though the thoughts of focusing on her task were there, she kept going back to the ideas of the tasks that they would have to do as a team. A working cattle ranch would be the perfect place for her to show her knowledge of how to actually do some hard work. She wasn’t afraid of cows of any sort, nor was she of horses. She had been riding since she could walk. Maybe for once, all of those unseen assets would pay off, and the men she worked with would stop looking at her like a pair of walking tits all the time.

It was a long shot for that to happen, but she would make this a good trip. She would try to work with the others as best as she could. She wanted to keep the job at least. So she would try. With that settled in her mind, she began to think of the young men she knew that had gone that way of becoming cowboys. Many from her father's farm had at least tried. It took a special type to actually live that lifestyle, and the ones she knew were all back and had moved on to lives that they could live without much farming experience.

A cowboy might be the perfect distraction to her. She could relate to them in a way the others couldn’t. They would also be the perfect protection from the men she worked with. She smiled to herself.

A plan was coming together in her mind to counter the one some of the men around her were probably thinking about. While they wanted to ride her or her them on this trip, she wouldn’t mind a small distraction of a fling with one of the ranch hands. So if the men she worked with tried to mount her, she would ride a cowboy instead. The smile grew to the point she knew she had a plan.

This wasn’t going to be the worst trip ever.

   Sophia waited until the day before she had too to pack up her clothes. Though she knew this was going to be a working trip no one would be wearing business suits and the like. She packed up her old working jeans though she knew they were way to big for her they were the most comfortable things she had. She had spent many hours chasing after the cows and just general farm work breaking them in. Though she was never supposed to show off her body in them they would do the trick for this trip.She had also picked some of her sexiest underwear with the hopes that she may be able to use them at some point during the trip. It seemed that while she hoped there would be one useful ranch hand there that would be working with them she did still have some standards to uphold. The idea of a quick fling was not someth

  When they arrived at the terminal there was no one there yet and Micha chuckled to himself. “Not surprising.” He said softly as he walked over to the desk and began talking to one of the attendants at the gate. Sophia watched the man and could now see the things she had missed about him. The subtle way he moved was something she had seen a hundred times with the hands on the farm. It was something that she would have easily missed with him wearing the normal three piece business suit that he was fond of wearing in the office. Though she had very little interaction with him in the office she had seen him around many times.Neither him this way or when he was in the office and completely professional was a bad look for him. Lost in her own thoughts as she looked down to the her luggage bag and then leaning forward to stretch in the chair she found herself looking forw

 As the two people sat in the section of the plane they looked up to find the other people from the trip starting to board the aircraft. Sophia tried to keep her head down and away from the glares of the people she had to work with. Micha on the other hand was trying to distract himself with the seat for a moment. He was supremely confident in all his actions. However he wasn’t deaf to the comments that were made as soon as the people were past the curtains that separated the cabin sections. “Look at her sitting with him!” Someone hissed as they passed them.“Looks like she will be moving up rather fast.” Some other female said.“I told you she must be great on her knees.” One of the division heads said.Micha was fuming as he looked over to Sophia trying to hide

 The rest of the trip was in relative peace. Though many of the people who worked at the company came up to talk to Micha he was easily dismissive of them. They all tried to ice her out of the conversations if they even were responded too. Sophia almost wasn’t to laugh at some of the attempts to get his attention from the women around her. They were damn near throwing themselves at him. They had changed the way they had dressed by unbuttoning their shirts to reveal what they all thought was their best assets before moving up the near empty cabin to get to first class to talk to him.“So, Mr. Moran what do you think we will have to do there at the ranch?” Miss Goodin asked as she perched herself on the seat next to him as she leaned forward.  “Some ranch things,” Micha replied without looking up at her. He was m

 “What difference would that have to make?” Sophia asked.“You see, cowgirl, they all want to get to me and the drive though it will be unlike anything they have ever done as far as the work level. They think it is easy and we will have a lot of free time just riding around. They want to be on that drive because they will have true access to me or at least they think they will.” Micha chuckled, “In a way it is it’s own punishment but they will have to be the best and most well behaved to get on the drive itself.”“I still don’t understand,” Sophia said.“Do you honestly think any of them are capable of behaving for two weeks?’ Micha asked.“Oh,” Sophia said with a smile.“Come on cowgirl, you need to keep up.” He said

Micha was very aware of the tiny woman next to him as they got off the plane. It was like the air around him was charged in a different way. He didn’t like coming back to the place he had grown up. His family wasn’t proud of his accomplishments they only saw that he left the family’s business when they said they needed him the most. He knew it was more like he had left to give them one less mouth to feed. Soon after the ranch had become finically stable and was able to grow.When he also started to thrive in the business world it made him very much the proverbial fish out of water trying to climb a tree when he was back. His brothers had made him feel like he couldn’t be a member the family and do the same things. He took a ribbing from them every chance they got to get him for being slightly different. Micha probably knew that she had gotten one as well.As he lifted the bag from the overhea

 Micha and Sophia were the center of the circle that had gathered around them after everyone had got their bags and they were ready to go. Micha’s voice boomed over the crowd as he explained what was happening next to the rest of them. As he called out names to be in smaller groups everyone was watching Sophia more closely as her name wasn’t called.“We will be traveling over to the car rental. Make sure you are with your group. Since of the sheer number of us it will take a few trips. I will go first and start the process. One person for each group with be the driver. Once we have the cars I will tell you the address and give you the instructions on how to get there to the ranch.” Micha said and then turned as the group broke off into threes and they waited as they all wanted to get him more to themselves. They were all going to try to get on the same shuttle.

   “What got you looking down, cowgirl?” he asked as they got into the car, and he pulled out.“Aren’t you gonna wait for them?” Sophia asked as she looked around and saw everyone still packing up their cars.“Nope,” Micha said. “If they can’t find the ranch that is on them.” Micha stated, “Now answer me.”“I was just thinking. That’s all.” Sophia said in a softer voice.“About?” he prompted. He had an idea of what was bothering her, but he also knew that the female mind was never as easy to understand as it should be. He didn’t want to be the one to assume something when it came to a

  Micha started the tour with the main office. During the time, they could see cars starting to arrive from the dirt path. It seemed they were racing to get there and be the first ones there. Micha chuckled when he saw the sight before, knowing they all thought he would be in charge and again they would be trying to get his attention. His brothers were the ones in charge, and they wouldn’t take kindly to some of the antics of these people he had working for him. It was a win-win for him as they could help set them all straight.As they passed through the office and the other facilities that were open to the guests like the wash room, a small gym, a vending machine, and the place the breakfasts were served. They then went outside and saw the corrals up and open. The fences were basic but enough to keep the cows from wandering too far. As soon as they neared the stables, he s
