All Chapters of Coming Home The Carter Clan: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Austin Every morning, I wake up at the crack of dawn to feed my beloved horses. It's an essential part of my daily routine that I look forward to every day. I find peace and solace in the quiet of the early morning hours, and there's nothing quite like the smell of fresh hay and the sound of horses munching contentedly on their breakfast. After tending to my equine friends, I head inside to start my day. I take a quick shower, eat a nutritious breakfast, and make myself a strong cup of coffee to kickstart my day. I throw on my favorite pair of wranglers, a tank top, and a hoodie to keep me warm on those chilly mornings. I complete my outfit with my trusty boots, ready to tackle whatever the day throws my way. But with my busy schedule, I don't always have time for cooking. That's why I'm grateful for my chef-made meals, which I can simply reheat and enjoy. They're so convenient and delicious that I save the containers for the chef to pick up at the next delivery. Cooking used to b

AustinIt is disheartening to acknowledge that I cannot escape the repercussions of my grandfather's actions, as evidenced by the constant reminders of how he wronged the Carters. I understand the gravity of the situation and the urgency to rectify the matter, but regrettably, I do not have any updates on the progress of our attorney's efforts to address the issue.I feel relieved that I was able to rescue Stacy from the car's path. It was also great to reconnect with Cadee, and I hope we can strengthen our friendship. As I was walking through the parking lot, I saw a car speeding towards a spot where a child was running. I quickly reacted and managed to grab the child before the car hit her. However, I stumbled over my shopping cart and fell with the child. Fortunately, I was able to roll and protect her from the impact.As he helped me up, I stumbled and leaned against his chest. I couldn't help but notice that his physique was quite impressive. He had a momentary look of desire on

AustinI leave that conference room with my head held high. I walk or rather limp my way to my truck. Once inside, I hit the steering wheel with my fist. I tried to do the right thing, but the brothers only thought about my grandfather. I am not my grandfather, damn it. So why did I come back here and put myself through this misery? Alright, enough with the pity party. I have work to do. Yeah, that is how I deal with my feelings, get mad and move the fuck on. Life must go on. As I sit in traffic, I can't help but replay the events of the day in my head. And who am I replaying? That damn Cortland Carter. I mean, seriously, why does he have to look so good in everything he wears? I was already attracted to him in his casual jeans and t-shirt, but when he showed up in a suit today, I swear my heart skipped a beat.I know it's ridiculous to get all worked up over someone's clothing, but damn. I couldn't take my eyes off him all day. And let's be real, he could wear a potato sack and

AustinAs I finish brushing my teeth, my mind wanders to my horses. Why do I even have them? It's too early in the morning to be pondering such thoughts. I quickly threw on a T-shirt and leggings, opting to skip the bra for now. I grab a flannel to ward off the chilly morning air and make my way downstairs.As I step out onto the porch, I'm startled by a voice greeting me with "Good morning." It's Cortland, and I wasn't expecting anyone to be here. I look down at my sleeve, trying to fix the bunched-up fabric, and panic sets in as I realize I'm not wearing a bra.My mind races as I try to figure out what to do. I can't wait to see what Austin looks like this morning, but I need to deal with this situation first."Haha, I can tell from your expression and lack of undergarments that you forgot I was dropping by," chuckles Cortland Carter.I'm pretty sure Cortland's seen his fair share of breasts, so mine won't be anything to write home about."Seen one pair, seen 'em all," I quip back.

AustinHoly moly, I can’t believe it? I almost got down and dirty with none other than Cortland Carter! That guy's got some kind of magic touch that was able to ignite my flames. But Cortland's got me feeling some serious temptation. It's like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place - do I take the plunge, or do I play it safe? I mean, one false move could wreck everything we've got going on.Oh, my heart is playing a tricky game! It's telling me to guard it, but then it races with excitement at the thought of jumping into a steamy romance with that charming guy. I'm so torn! But, fear not, my trusty advisor is just a call away. I whip out my phone and dial her number, ready for some much-needed guidance."Hey, Austin! What's up? It's pretty late for a call. Is everything okay?" My moms always concerned. I'm just calling 'cause I could use someone to chat with and maybe give me some advice." I reply.“Okay, honey, if you are okay. What can I help you with?” Mom asks and I can hea
