Not what I thought escape was

Lake,
It may have been awhile, but it was certainly WELL worth the wait!

So much action going on in this chapter. from the cattle unloading and inspection to the wee ones, to the various and sundry couples all making love to one another - including the latest member of the brotherhood of cock and ass worshippers.

Thank you for sharing your talents with us, Lake.
 
Lake,
Look forward to every chapter........especially ones that make me leak as much as Zeb! Finally, Joe know what the pleasure is all about..............|
 
I am SO Bad! :spank:

I read this Saturday, and instead of replying right away, continued on to catch up with other threads. And, while doing so, was also thinking of what I wanted to post, here. It got to the point that I convinced myself that I had. :slap:

I really enjoyed the latest chapter, Lake! "Lite" weekend reading, indeed! :=D: ..|

No major drama. No cliffhanger. Just a Very enjoyable time, spent on the ranch, and leaving with a big, "AW!", feeling sorry it was over so soon. (group)

You've created an Awesome world, here, that I so wish was Real, and I could find to join, in SO many ways. :luv2:

It was a very pleasant "break", and I was thrilled that everyone got a chance to enjoy themselves, and each other, without undue stress. Just what Joe needed to allow himself to relax, rev up, and join "Our" Team! \:/

Welcum aboard, Joe! (!) (!w!)

Now ... about the drama and cliffhangers, I'm sure you've got a few ideas just waiting to "grab" us with. I can't wait to see what's around that "next corner"! :lol:

THANK YOU!, Buddy! Now ... back to the keyboard for Thee! :gogirl:

Keep Smilin'!! :kiss: (*8*)
Chaz :luv:
 
Been aching for another update. I check here daily hoping to see another chapter...
 
Thanks guys for all the comments. Sorry about the delay but sometimes
when life starts happening a little too fast you have to take hold of it. Plus
as most know that write when things get stressful you tend to get a mild version
of writers block.. lol
Hopefully there will not be as long a delay in the next installment.

Here is the next chapter. Let me know what you think. :confused:






"Not what I thought escape meant"
Chapter 86

The welcome party for the new hands was a success. The wives of the married hands put together a feast. The empty dulexes were filled and there was one empty travel trailer. There were still three hands left in Texas. Luckily two were a couple and would be staying on in Texas until everything was fianlized. That would give Daryl time to finish Ross and Landon's house and have that duplex available.

"Ouch. What was that for ?" Carl said. Joe and Zeb had showered and shown up for the party. As they walked up towards the bon fire Max had pinched Carl on the side. "Just a warning not to open your mouth. " Max whispered. "But baby .... please .... I can see from here that Zeb is walking a little funny." Carl laughed. "Well you see that Landon has not sat down since they got here but we need to leave them alone. Especially Joe and Zeb." Max said. "Just one joke ?" Carl laughed. "One joke can cut off your supply for at least a month." Max whispered. "Well damn. " Carl said. "Hard decision ?" Max asked. "Not at all babe. See." Carl laughed as he took Max's hand and placed it on his crotch so that Max could feel his semi hard cock. "Down boy. The party will be over soon." Max whispered in Carl's ear before reaching out lightly nibbling on an ear lobe. "UUUGGGGGHHH " Carl growled.

"Ddaaammnnnn Uncle Joe. Look at that grin on your face. Looks like you got that pole of yours greased but good." Ross laughed. "WHAP" rang out. "Hey what the fuck ?" Ross turned to see Carl standing behind him grinning. Carl had popped Ross on the back of the head. "What was that for ?" Ross asked. "If my husband will not let me rag my brother then you can't either." Carl laughed. "But I couldn't resist." Ross said. "Well looks like your honey is standing up for a reason this evening." Carl said. "Damn straight and as soon as we can sneak away I plan to get at that ass again until he can't even stand." Ross laughed. "Calm down there little fella. You need to save some for later." Joe said. "Yeah like you aren't thinking about how to duck out of here and go home and get you some more." Ross laughed.

Carl and Max gave quick welcome speeches to the new staff. They thanked the wives for the feast that they had prepared also. Durk was asked to bless the meal before everyone dug in. "I think it has all gone quite smoothly." B said as he sat next to Carl and Max with his plate. "I think so too. I don't think I could have asked for a better day," Max said. "I think Joe will agree." Carl chuckled. "That was the main thing I was talking about. The cattle and ranch hands are not the main thing I am greatful for. " Max said. "I know Babe." Carl whispered. "Well it looks like Zeb has dipped his toes into the Rexlan men." B said. "His toe ?" Carl laughed. "Well honey I was trying to be politically correct. Looks like Zeb opened wide and said come to papa then." B said. "Alright you two." Max laughed. "Well honey you know better than anyone that he would have had to open wide." B said laughing as he opened wide for a fork full of potato salad.

After everyone had finished and the ladies had began to clean up the men mingled and chatted. One of the ranch hands walked by where Joe and Carl stood. "How do you think it is going ?" Carl asked. "Think it will be just fine Boss man. There will be some adjustment but they seem like a great crew. I think it will be fine. Give us a few adjustment days." He said. "Is there an issue with all the new hands being gay ?" Joe asked. "Are they ? Just kidding boss. You know none of us have an issue with that. Hell my wife is happy. She says maybe they can teach me a trick or two about how to treat her. She says at least she may finally get something she wants for her birthday or Christmas for a change." He laughed as he walked off. "That's good to hear." Carl said. "You and Max did a good job from the beginning letting everyone know what was about to happen. You talked to the guys here and the guys in Texas before they moved." Joe said. "I know but you never know until it actually happens." Carl said. "That's true but never doubt how loyal these guys are to you." Joe said. "I won't. By the way. Are things alright with you ?" Carl said.

"Little brother I am fucking fantastic. If you had told me four months ago that i was .... "gay" I would have cursed you out. Nothing against gay mind you but I just never thought about sex with a man. Now I am jealous as hell of you because you realized at a young age just how great it is." Joe said. "Well do you think you are gay ?" Carl asked. "Well I am in love with a man and I will tell you this. I have never had such mind blowing sex in all my life." Joe said. "Well I am not going to say that you are gay though." Carl said. "Why not ?" Joe asked. "Well look at Mitch and Artie. They are both hot as hell. Would you have sex with either of them ?" Carl asked. "They don't do anything for me. Just Zeb." Joe said. "That's love big brother. Got nothing to do with whether you are gay or straight." Carl said. "I don't mind being gay." Joe said. "I just didn't want you to think you were being labeled." Carl said. "You know I don't care what people think." Joe laughed. "So the sex didn't gross you out then." Carl said. "Shit Bro. I just thought I had sex before today. Today was something beyond amazing. It was like orgasm heaven." Joe laughed. "Love will do that for you." Carl said. "Well now I know what you have been feeling." Joe said. "Yeah it is amazing but let me tell you. I just thought it was off the chain until we got married. After we said I do it opened an even more intense level." Carl said.

"Hey Zeb buddy. How is everything going ?" Artie asked as he walked up to where Zeb and Landon stood. Before he could answer Max walked up too. "Going alright so far." Zeb said. "Well you can do better than that." Artie laughed. "Ask me again in a few days." Zeb said. "Did Joe do something ?" Max asked. "Oh no Joe is absolutely my life's dream come true. I just don't want to push him." Zeb said. "Push him hell. From the way you are walking you must have pushed him until that monster fit." Landon laughed. "Look who's talking." Max said. "True that but Ross is nowhere as big as Uncle Joe." Landon laughed. "Yes little man it fit." Zeb said lightly punching Landon. "You may have to give Joe some time. He is in uncharted waters for him." Max said. "Sure could have fooled me." Zeb laughed. "Oh my." Artie laughed. "Why are you concerned then ?" Max asked. "I just don't want him to wake up in a few days and feel like he made a mistake." Zeb said. "Let me tell you a little about these Rexlan men." Mary said as she walked up behind the group. "If my big brother opened his mouth and said he loves you then he means it. Both my brothers think long and hard before they open their mouths. If he says he loves you then he is in it one hundred percent." Mary said. "She is right. Neither of them say anything on a whim." Max said. "Welcome to the family. Just remember I rule the roost." Mary said reaching out and hugging Zeb. Zeb had to almost bite his lip to keep from laughing. As he looked at Max while Mary hugged him Max just shook his head no.

The party was finally coming to an end. The twins as usual had kept everyone entertained. They had made friends with all the new hands just as if they had been there from the beginning. The boys went around and gave out their little boy hugs as they began to show signs of winding down. The new hands seemed to be amazed at how easily they were accepted and also included in conversations and actions of the larger group. A couple of the wives even grabbed one or two of the new hands and had them help carry the serving dishes back to their duplex. Joe and Zeb had said their goodnights about an hour earlier and headed out. Shortly after that Brian and Ty took the boys home to put them to bed and Ross and Landon said their goodnights. Durk and B waited with Carl and Max for one last check on the new hands. Daryl and Mary stood with the group as the new hands came over to chat. "I hope you guys enjoyed tonight and feel like you are welcome here." Max said. "Oh we do Boss man." One said. "Feel like I grew up with these guys already." Another said. "They do know that all of us are gay don't they ?" One asked. "Yes they do. I think you will realize that we have no homophobes on this ranch." Carl said. "I feel even better about it now then." One replied. "Are you all comfortable with your housing arrangements ?" Carl asked. "Sure am boss. Everything is just fine." One said. "Alright guys. Hope you get some good shut eye. We meet in front of the barn every morning at six a.m." Carl said.

Max took a quick shower as Carl put the leftovers away and locked up the house. While Max went back to the kitchen to set the coffee pot for the morning Carl took a quick shower himself. "And what are you doing ?" Max asked as he turned to see Carl leaning against the door jam with only his towel around his neck. "I'm not sure. This is all new to me." Carl said. "What are you talking about ?" Max laughed. "Well you said you were going to demonstrate what was going on at Joe's house. I figured I needed to play the part." Carl laughed. "Oh so you don't know what to do with this then ?" Max said turning around and wiggling his ass cheeks at Carl. "Nope, but I hope to learn real soon." Carl said smiling.

Max walked slowly towards Carl. "You wont hurt me will you ?" Carl whispered. "You never know. You may not even like what is about to happen to you. You can stop me anytime you feel uncomfortable." Max said trying his best not to laugh. As he walked up to Carl he leaned up and lightly kissed Carl on the lips. "Was that alright ?" Max said. "Well it lacked passion." Carl said. "I didn't want to scare you off." Max said. "I'm a big boy." Carl whispered. "I can see that." Carl said reaching down and taking Carl's growing cock into his hand. Carl just moaned lightly. Max began to kiss Carl's neck and then moved down to Carl's broad hairy chest. Lightly licking then nibbling on Carl's nipples brought even louder moans. Max spent an ample amount of time making sure that Carl's nipples were wired directly to his cock. Moving down to his knees Max looked directly at Carl's rock hard shaft. "Are you sure about this ?" Max whispered. "I'll never know until I try." Carl said trying not to laugh.

Max could feel Carl's knees getting weak as he licked the engorged mushroom head of Carl's cock. On his third attempt Max was able to produce enough saliva to easily take Carl's cock down his throat until his nose was buried in Carl's pubes. Lightly humming brought Carl to his tip toes. The moans that came from deep down inside Carl let Max know he was hitting all the right spots. After about five minutes Max pulled his mouth from Carl's cock and stood to his feet. Lightly kissing Carl on the lips again he stepped back and turned. Looking over his shoulder at Carl. "I think that's enough lessons for one night. I don't want you to regret anything in the morning." Max said and winked. "OH no you don't." Carl said stepping quickly to grab Max.

Spinning Max around Carl wrapped one arm around Max's back and the other behind his head. Pulling Max to his lips Carl quickly showed Max the passionate kiss that he had referenced earlier. With his hand that he had put around Max's back, Carl reached down and ran his hand down between Max's ass cheeks spreading them slightly. His index finger found it's target and entered Max quickly pulling him tight to his chest. Max gasp and moaned. "You think Zeb moaned like that ?" Carl whispered. "Let's hope so." Max whispered. Carl continued kissing Max and with his finger still buried deep he walked Max backwards to the breakfast room table. "Now time for my version of what happened." Carl whispered as he picked Max up and sat him on the table.

Carl broke the kiss and looked into Max's eyes. Placing his palm on Max's chest he pushed Max back until he was laying on the table with his feet dangling towards the floor. "Mmmm. My turn." Carl whispered. Leaning forward he lighly licked and then nibbled Max's nipples. Carl always loved the reaction this gained. Max was moving his head from side to side and moaning. His legs quickly wrapped around Carl's waist. Carl pushed back opening Max's legs as he worked his way down Max's stomach. Lightly kissing and nibbling kept Max moaning. Carl looked up towards Max and happened to see two figures standing out by the pool. Carl smiled and winked as he opened his mouth and took Max's swollen cock into his mouth and down to the base without stopping.

Artie and Mitch had walked out of the pool house to look at the full moon. The best view is from the patio area closest to the house. From that point you can look out across the lake and see the reflection of the full moon on the water also. This patio is just off the breakfast room of the main house. "Oh Mitch. I think he saw us. We need to sneak back into the pool house." Artie whispered. "Not just yet." Artie said reaching down and pushing Artie's shorts down around his ankles. Putting one arm around Artie's chest, Mitch pulled him back to his chest as he spit in his free hand and reached down and began jacking Artie's semi hard cock towards the breakfast room window. "Baby are you sure ?" Artie whispered laying his head back on Mitch's shoulder. "Just relax and enjoy." Artie whispered.

"My God you taste like honey." Carl said as he lifted his head and released Max's cock. Looking at the window again he was pleased to see his friends just outside the window enjoying themselves. His eyes were fixed temporarily on Artie's hand slowly moving up and down Artie's cock. Snapping back to reality Carl realized that he had been slowly jacking Max's cock with his fist. Releasing Max's cock Carl stepped back and walked across the kitchen and picked up the olive oil dispenser. Carl put some of the olive oil in his palm and slowly greased his cock. Still looking out the window he watched as Mitch nibbled Artie's neck and jacked his hard cock causing Artie to squirm. Carl lifted Max's legs and placed them on his shoulders. Reaching down he placed his cock at the entrance to Max's ass. By this time Artie had reached back and pushed Mitch's shorts down. Wiggling around he had trapped Mitch's now hard cock in between his ass cheeks. Carl looked down at Max as he slowly pushed the head of his cock through Max's ass ring. "FFfffuuuucckkkkk." Max moaned. "Faster baby." Max pleaded. Carl looked up at the window and smiled as he slammed the rest of his cock deep into Max. Max arched his back on the table and let out a loud moan.

Artie pulled away from Mitch and quickly got on his knees. Taking Mitch's cock into his mouth he feverishly tried to lube it up. Quickly standing he turned around and placed Mitch's cock at the entrance to his ass. Carl watched Artie squirm and come to his tip toes as Mitch pushed his cock up into his ass. Mitch began to bend at his knees and then quickly push back up into Artie's ass. "Come here baby." Carl said. Carl took Max's legs and wrapped them around his waist. He then leaned over and wrapped Max's arms around his neck. Picking Max up and stepping away from the table keeping Max fully impaled on his cock. Carl looked over his shoulder and smiled at Mitch as he began to lift Max up and down on his cock.

"Oooohhhhhhhhhh ..... uuuuuuhhhhhhhhh........ uuummmmmmmmmm." Max began to moan loudly. Carl quickly lay Max back on the table. Quickly pistoning his cock in and out of Max's ass as Max's cock began to shoot. The first shot went over Max's shoulder. The second shot landed on his face. The following shots landed on his chest and stomach. Carl smiled and looked up just in time. "Hhhollyy fffffFFFFUUUUCCCccckkkk." Artie shouted as Mitch pistoned into his ass as his fist quickly jacked his cock. Seeing the white cream shoot from Artie's cock in ropes onto the pavement pushed Carl over the edge. Pushing Max even further back onto the table Carl crawled onto the table adn began to piston his cock in and out of Max's ass again. Mitch watched carefully as he saw Carl shove his ass cheeks forward, arch his back and push his head back. He could see Carl's body shake knowing that with each shake his huge cock was unloading deep inside of Max's ass. "GGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." Mitch growled as he held Artie tight to his body. His legs jerked slightly as his cock began to unload inside of Artie. Carl watched knowing that the jolts in Mitch's body meant that he was erupting deep inside. This caused Carl to flex his cock looking for even more seed to push out. Mitch began to walk Artie backwards towards the pool house with his cock still inside. Carl reached over and pulled Max back up so that he was holding him once more and turned to walk towards the bedroom keeping his still hard cock deep inside Max.

The next morning came earlier than any had hoped. Carl was normally a morning person but after the last nights sex romp he wanted to stay in bed and cuddle. Zeb woke just as the sun began to rise and snuggled back into Joe's chest. True to his word he had fallen asleep with Joe's cock inside him and woke up to find it still buried inside him. Joe was no longer hard but both Carl and Joe were larger and longer soft than most men are hard so it was easily accomplished. "Good morning sexy. Are you alright ?" Joe whispered. "I am just amazing. How are you ?" Zeb whispered. "You are amazing aren't you ?" Joe whispered and pulled Zeb even tighter into his chest. "Sorry about the sheets. I will strip them off when we get up." Zeb said. "No need for you to be sorry. I think that's my little soldiers that leaked out onto the sheet not yours." Joe said. "Well mine are on this side." Zeb laughed. "It just blows my mind that you let me cum inside you." Joe said. "Well I plan on carrying the soldiers with me all day that didn't leak out." Zeb said. "Yes you are amazing." Joe said leaning forward and kissing Zeb's neck.

Mitch met Carl at the back door. "I am all yours today boss. I will ride with you and you can send me where ever you need me if you don't mind. Artie has to go and pick up a couple of things for the new house." Mitch said. "Are you sure you don't need to go with him ?" Carl asked. "Oh no please. Working with you guys today will be a God send. I leave all that to Artie." Mitch laughed. Once in the truck they headed down the drive. "About last night." Mitch said. "It was hot as hell wasn't it ?" Carl laughed. "I just didn't want you to think we were peeping Tom's." Mitch said. "Look buddy. I sat and watched you tear Artie a new asshole against the doors one night. Returning the favor is only fair I think." Carl said. "As long as you are not upset." Mitch said. "Upset hell. I think I was harder than I have been in a long time." Carl laughed.

Joe and Zeb pulled up in their trucks just as Carl and Mitch pulled up to the barn. The ranch hands that were not already in front of the barn made their way from the trailers or duplexes to the trucks. Brian and Landon were standing by Ross' truck. "You wear him out last night and he have to take a sick day ?" Carl asked patting Landon on the back. "Well I did wear him out but the twins begged him to take them to Aunt Mary's this morning." Landon said. "Yeah they were mad at me." Brian said. "Yes they were. They were both talking ninety to nothing when Ross brought them in about how you spanked them for no reason this morning. They had Nana's full attention too." Daryl said as he walked up laughing. "Do I even want to know what happened ?" Carl laughed while looking at Brian. "Let's just say that they will not be left alone again to brush their teeth. That full tube is now empty." Brian said.

Zeb stood between his truck and Carl's. Still seeming to be on the shy side Carl turned to face him. "You alright to work today or do you need the day off the heal ?" Carl said and smiled. Quickly looking around and then back at Zeb. "What were you looking for ?" Daryl asked. "My husband. Who else." Carl laughed. "I am fine." Zeb laughed. "That he is." Joe smiled and reached over and pulled Zeb to his side. The other ranch hands whistled and made cat calls. "Alright you guys. Remember you still have to deal with me today." Joe laughed.

Carl went through what he expected and how he wanted to divide the work force. Two of the men were going to stay at the barn and spend the day getting the new tractors put back together and up and running while the new guys were farmed out among the other hands to show them the ropes of the ranch. Carl put Landon and Ross together with the experimental herd. It would be theirs one day anyway so he wanted Ross to catch up with Landon on how it all worked. Max was going to try to get all the information on the new herd into the computer at the house and planned to join the rest at lunch. Joe went with the combine operators to finish the grain harvest. Zeb went with the crew to check on the new herd. Carl and Mitch were headed to the hay fields while Brian would make his way around the ranch helping where it was needed. As the crowd began to disperse Daryl spoke up. "I need to see you two at your house for a few minutes sometime today." Daryl said looking at Ross and Landon. Ross turned and looked towards Carl for permission. "Don't look at me. You know as long as the job gets done I have no problem with what you do ." Carl said and winked.

Ross and Landon were amazed at how fast the work was coming on their house. "They are putting the septic tank in tomorrow. Once those trucks are done they will fix the driveway so it's not such a mess. I figure about five more days in here and we will be finished enough for you to move in. There will be some porch work and landscaping left will be about all." Daryl said. "Five days. You are joking right ?" Ross said. "Nope. You need it sooner or something ?" Daryl asked. "No, no. I just figured it would take a little longer is all." Ross said. "Time to come off some of that money and let your honey go furniture shopping." Daryl laughed. "Yeah I thnk you are right." Ross said scratching his head.

Lunch time arrived quickly with all the new work to be done. Max and Carl talked off to themselves. Max had gone to pick up lunch and talked some to Flo about the planned changes at the cafe. Joe sat back and smiled as he looked over the group in front of him. He was not sure but for some reason he had a bigger since of pride than he had ever had before. Not able to put his finger on the reason he knew though it had something to do with Zeb. Brian walked up and sat down beside Joe. "Uncle Joe I am going to tell the boys that they can't spend this Friday night at your house." Brian said. "Why would you do that ?" Zeb said from behind them. "Well I figured you two would want some privacy." Brian said. "We have plenty of privacy every other night. My feelings will be hurt with you and Ty if you don't let the twins come and spend the night. That is if they still want to." Zeb said. "But..... " Brian started. "You heard your Uncle Zeb didn't you ? Don't push your luck." Joe said laughing. "Uncle Zeb ?" Zeb thought to himself.

The afternoon seemed to move just as quickly as the morning. Everyone was back to their respective jobs. Max was at the barn getting the serial numbers and models off all the new equipment so that he could fax the information to the insurance company. As he stepped out of the cab of one of the tractors he could hear a faint sound in the distance. By the time he had his feet on the ground it was getting closer. "Is that sirens ?" Max asked one of the hands. "Sounds like it." He said. Within a minute they knew that it was sirens. Just as they got close enough to hear fairly well the emergency tone went off on the ranch radio. There was no message but Max recognized the radio number. As Max looked at the radio waiting for a message the ambulance and fire truck passed by and turned in at the farm across the road. "What the hell is going on ?" Carl's voice came over the radio. "Not sure. That was Zeb's radio that sounded the alarm and an ambulance and fire truck just went in across the road. Headed there now." Max said. "On my way too." Carl said back. "Zeb's radio ?" Joe shouted into the radio. "Don't freak yet Joe. I am headed there now." Max said. " Oh fuck. Me too." Joe shouted.
 
Lake,
I saw this come into my e-mail earlier today. After getting chores around here that needed doing done (like getting dinner cooked), I sat down and had me a good read.

It's a powerful chapter of comings together. Your usual combination of love and lust and fun and picking and working all rolled up in one.



And then there's that other component that's so familiar in your literary genius - the effing cliffhanger!!!!

I hope your real life is coming along well and not as rocky as things always wind up being at the ranch.

Thank you for taking the time to give us another great installment.
 
SO Thrilled to read this latest chapter! :=D: ..|

Great to hear from you, Lake! (group)

Things were going quite well, and then the sirens, and uncertainty! :eek: :help:

There is "Hanging", and then there is "Cliff Hanging"! :badgrin:

Keep it UP! :kiss: (*8*)
Chaz :luv:
 
Speaking of Cliff hangers that leave people on edge for an extended period of time ...


:rolleyes:



:p




(*8*)
 
Another great chapter, hope everything and everyone are alright!! Can't wait for more, thanks for writing!!!
 
Thanks for the comments everyone. I am trying to get back into the writing
spirit so I can finish this story. Thank you for being so patient.

Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think.






"Not what I thought escape meant"
Chapter 87

"Can you believe that we may be in our new house in a week or less ?" Ross said. "I know. It seems crazy but it is real isn't it ?" Landon said. "Well baby you have seen the house." Ross said. Both men were slowly walking through the herd checking for anything out of the ordinary or any injuries. "Do you think we can make a living off this herd ?" Ross asked. "One day we should have a very nice living off them. I still can't believe that Carl and Max are planning to give this to us." Landon said. "I know. I still don't understand." Ross said. "Well Max told me that family was everything to them and that the twins decided who was family and who was not." Landon said. "Yeah they are super boys." Ross said. "I just hope that our children are half as good as those two." Landon said. "Our children. I like the way that sounds. Just promise me one thing. " Ross said. "I will try. What is it ?" Landon said. "Let's try for one at a time. Not twins." Ross laughed. "Deal." Landon said. About that time the ranch radio toned. Ross and Landon both stood and waited for any further instructions. Nothing came until they heard Max talking to Carl. "Come on." Ross said grabbing Landon's arm and running towards the gate.

The ranch seemed to ramp into high gear. The radio went wild with no clear messages coming across. Carl and Mitch arrived within three or four minutes of Max. There was so much dust flying from vehicles arriving and sliding to a hault that it was hard to see the crowd gathered around the back of the ambulance. As Joe pulled in the drive he took a quick look and recognized Carl, Max, Brian, and two of the ranch hands with their backs towards him watching the EMT's working on someone on the ground. Throwing his truck into park and opening the door before it stop sliding. "CRUNCH" caused the group to jump and turn quickly. Carl stepped back to slow Joe down. As the group turned to see what the noise was they saw Joe running towards the group. Behind him was his crew cab dual wheel truck with the door still open but the hood pushed into the side of Max's SUV.

"Hey baby. What's up ?" Artie said as he answered his cell phone. "Hey babe. Where are you?" Mitch asked. "Just leaving the house. I am headed to look at some curtains. What's wrong you sound stressed ?" Artie said "Not sure yet babe but they have had to call an ambulandce to the ranch. Don't go far in case we need to fire up the plane." Mitch said. "I will head back to the main house. Who is it and what happened ?" Artie asked. "Not sure babe. Carl and I are headed there now. Carl just asked if someone needed to be flown out would we be able to do it. " Mitch said. "Well I will go grab our bags and wait to hear from you. If you find out we need to I can pick you up or I can go ahead and get everything ready." Artie said. "Thanks babe. I will let you know as soon as I know something. Love you babe." Mitch said. "Love you too. Let me know something." Artie said as he turned his vehicle around and headed towards the ranch.

"Hey honey. How are the twins ?" Daryl said as he answered the phone. "What's going on at the ranch?" Mary asked. "Don't know. What are you talking about ?" Daryl asked. "The ambulance and fire truck are at the ranch. Nobody will answer their phones. I even called the farmer and his wife and got no answer." Mary said. "Where are they at ?" Daryl asked. "If I knew that I would not be calling you." Mary said firmly. "No sweetheart. I mean where are the ambuance and fire truck. I am at Ross and Landon's house so I will go check." Daryl said. "OH. I was told they turned in where they unloaded the new herd by the farmer's house." Mary said. "Alright. Just hold tight. I will head over there and call just as soon as I find out something." Daryl said. "You better not forget." Mary said. "I won't honey. Talk to you in a few." Daryl said. As Daryl got to the end of the drive he had to wait for Ross' truck to pass for him to pull out. "Damn he is in a hurry." Daryl thought.

The Paramedics had the stretcher loaded and headed to the rear of the ambulance when Ross, Landon and Daryl arrived. The crowd had parted to allow space for them to load their patient. Ross ran to Joe seeing him setting on the ground. Not sure what had happened he was relieved to see that Joe was alright, just shaken. Joe had pulled Zeb tight to his side and would not consider loosening his grip at the moment. "Where are you taking him ?" Max asked. "First to the local E.R. Once we know he is stable the doctors may transfer him." One Paramedic said. "I will be right behind you. Artie is getting the plane ready in case it's needed." Mitch said. "We are right behind you too." Carl said. "No. You get everything settled here. Make sure the farmer and his wife are alright and then you can come." B said. B's body was barely functioning watching the love of his life being loaded into the back of the ambulance. "What happened ?" Landon said as he got to Max. "We are not sure yet. Durk either had a reaction to the medication he is taking or he had a heart attack. They are not sure yet." Max said. "What can I do ?" Landon asked. "Help the farmer and his wife back into the house and make sure they are calm and comfortable." Max said. "Sure thing." Landon said.

Brian had called Ty. Ty was waiting outside the Emergency Room for the ambulance to arrive. Ty could hear the siren of the ambulance coming around the building. Right on the bumper of the ambulance was Carl's huge pickup truck. As they unloaded Durk the nurses and doctors were already at the rear of the ambulance. Before they could get him inside Daryl, Ross, Landon and Mitch all arrived. B was in the truck with Carl and Max. Max had held his hand while he quietly watched as they carried Durk into the Emergency Room. "He is in good hands. He will be fine." Max whispered. B just stood and shook his head yes and gripped Max's hand tighter.

The group of men sat in silence as the staff of the Emergency room buzzed around them. Most eyes were on B waiting for the moment that he lost his composure. Ty came out and whispered into Max's ear. "Everything is alright. I need to make a call." Max said. B almost lost his composure when Max stood up to walk outside. Carl quickly took Max's place. "B if there was something wrong Max would have told you." Carl whispered. B just gripped Max's hand and shook his head yes as he had earlier. Max returned but stood at the nurses station. At this point every eye was on Max. Within about five minutes Max's phone beeped. Opening the text he turned and asked the nurse for an email address. Moments later the nurse printed a piece of paper and Max headed for the swinging doors into the treatment area. There was a low whisper among the men as they heard Max's voice raised. They could not hear what was being said but they could tell it was heated. "You may need to go check on him." B whispered as he squeezed Carl's hand. "I am where I am suppose to be. He is a big boy. I think you know as well as me that he can hold his own without any help." Carl laughed. "Poor fella." B said. "Poor Max ?" Carl asked. "Oh no honey. Poor whoever the fella is Max is shouting at." B laughed.

They closely watched the door as the shouting ended. Moments later the doctor came through the door with Max right behind him. Pointing to B the doctor walked over and handed B the paper. "Is this you sir ?" The doctor asked. "Yes it is why ?" B asked. "My first question is what would you like for us to do for the patient. He is stable but we are at a cross roads. " The doctor said. "You do whatever you have to do ." B said firmly. "I have put in a call to his cardiologist in Texas. The patient has had a mild heart attack. Right now he is stable but his heart rate will not regulate. My suggestion would be to give him some medication to help stabilize that and put him on an external pace maker until a cardiologist determines if a permanant one is needed. " The doctor said. "Well do it. Why would you wait ?" B asked.

"Well when we pulled up his medical records there was an attachment signed by a judge. His children apparently have gotten a judge in Texas to sign an order that since his cancer is terminal that he is not to be resusitated nor any invasive treatments." The doctor said. B just looked up at Max. "It was some local judge. Brian took a picture of your power of attorney and text it to me. He is on his way with the original. Yours is a federal judge." Max said. "So I say what happens ?" B asked. "Yes you do." Max said. "Doctor you do whatever needs to be done and do not wait for insurance approval. The cost is not an issue." B said. "We will then." The doctor said. "May I see him ?" B said. "I will tell him you are here. Give us about twenty minutes to give him the medication and hook up the external pace maker. Once that is done I will come get you. Ty is in there with him now." The doctor said. About that time the Emergency room doors opened and Brian ran in out of breath with the papers in his hand.

B took a deep breath and they could see the tears forming in his eyes. B quickly stood and hugged Brian tightly. "Thank you so much. He may have died without this." B said. "Well Uncle Max is the one that thought of it." Brian said. "Oh no. Ty is the one that came out and told me what was happening and told me what he needed." Max said. "Remind me to hug him too." B said. Mitch stood and pulled out his phone. "I am going to call Artie to come and get me. We will have the plane prepared and ready if he needs to be flown." Mitch said. "Once he can be moved I would like to take him back to his doctor in Texas if they need to do the pace maker." B said looking at Carl as if he had a question. "What ?" Carl said. "It's your plane." B said. "To hell with that. It's your plane. You do what you need too." Carl said. "One last thing. I am borrowing your plane but I would also like to borrow your phone." B said looking at Max. "Sure." Max said handing his cell phone to B.

Ty came out to the waiting room while B was outside. Carl stood and met Ty coming across the room. Wrapping his arms around Ty Carl pulled him to his chest. "He will be alright Uncle Carl." Ty said sniffling. "All because of you buddy. Pull it together though. We don't want B to see you crying." Carl said as he leaned down and kissed Ty on top of the head. "I know. I just had to let some of the stress out. Where is Bpaw ?" Ty said. "He walked outside." Carl said. Ty told the group that Durk was stable and they would wake him up once the medication and pace maker regulated his heart beat. The group quietly chatted as Ty headed for the door. "That was quick." Brian said as Ty walked back up and sat down. "He was waving his hands and shouting at the the phone. I figured I would wait." Ty said smiling.

Carl called the farmer and his wife to let them know that Durk would be alright. Joe and Zeb came into the Emergency room while B was still on the phone. "How is Durk ?" Joe asked. "Stable. They say he may need a pace maker. What happened ?" Carl said looking towards Zeb. "We were looking at the cows that had minor injuries from the trip. Mr. Durk had walked around and looked at a few of the cows. He and the farmer were walking back towards the house. He seemed fine but I turned around just in time to see him grab his chest and fall to his knees. One of the guys working with me pulled out his phone and dialed 911 and shouted for me to mash the panic button on the ranch radio.

He was partially alert when we got to him. I put his head in my lap and the other guy elevated his feet until the ambulance got there." Zeb said. "Well I see you have some color back in your cheeks big brother." Carl laughed. "Don't even go there." Joe said. Zeb looked at them both trying to figure out what they were talking about. "Oh you should have seen him. That big burly cowboy was white as a sheet. Hell he even jumped out of his truck before it stopped. Max's SUV stopped his truck. OH HELL bro. I forgot about that." Carl laughed. "At least it was his old SUV." Joe laughed. "Sorry Uncle Joe. It was nice knowing you. You would have been safer hitting the new one. " Brian laughed. "Maybe he will let me get rid of that thing now." Carl laughed. "Keep it up you two. Keep talking and you will be glad that you are at the ER. We will discuss the damage to my baby later Joe." Max said. Zeb couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the look on both Joe and Carl's faces.

The men could see that B was truely shaken when he came back into the waiting room. Ty quickly told B of Durk's condition and that a nurse would come and get them shortly to go back in the room with Durk. B hugged Ty tightly and broke down and really cried for the first time. The group gathered around to show their support. Once B was able to compose himself again Ty and Max helped him to take one of the empty seats. "Everything alright ?" Max asked. "Yes it was just time to do some house cleaning. Take out the trash I guess you would say." B said. "House cleaning ?" Daryl asked. "Yes and it was about time. I called our attorney and told him to put the ranch, the hotel and all the commercial rental property up for sale." B said. "I thought that was what Durk was leaving his kids." Carl said. "It was until they did this. I told him to hold on to the small plot of land that was in their mother's name but the rest was to be sold. Once the properties are sold I told him to spend every dime I had if needed to ruin those bastards." B said. "Will Durk agree to that ?" Max asked. "He will not have a choice. He is so out done with them already he will not care. We suffered and did without for years to build that fortune and I will be damned if I will have suffered for those son of a bitches. Time for real life to be shoved right up their up tight spoiled asses. Time to sweep out the trash. And I will enjoy every minute of it." B said.

B had convinced everyone to leave and get back to their day. Durk was responding well and was weak but able to speak by the time everyone left. "What do we need to do babe ?" Carl asked as he and Max pulled out of the hospital parking lot. "First thing we need to do is get the ranch organized. If they do move Durk to another hospital I want to be able to go and spend as much time as we need too." Max said. "The ranch will live." Carl said. "I know it will and I trust Joe and Brian to keep it running but we need to make sure everything is in place." Max said. "You'r the boss." Carl laughed and reached over and placed his hand on Max's leg. "That really scared me." Max said. "Me too babe. Me too." Carl said.

As Joe and Zeb sat in the parking lot in Joe's truck, Zeb looked over at Joe as he gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. "Are you alright Joe ?" Zeb asked reaching over and touching Joe's arm. Joe began to shake. "I know that you are alright. You are setting here beside me but when they said it was your radio, and when I got there and you were on the ground. My heart almost died." Joe said. "I can see you are shaken but I am alright baby." Zeb whispered. "I know. I just found you and then all that ran through my mind was that I had lost you. I know it's silly." Joe said. "No it's not. To be honest it's flattering. I never thought I would be missed if anything ever happened to me." Zeb said. Joe turned and put one hand behind Zeb's head and pulled his quickly to a lip crushing kiss. It was not one of passion but seemed to be more of deperation on Joe's part. "I love you Zeb. I miss you when you leave the room." Joe said. "I believe you. I miss you too when you are not within eye site." Zeb said. "We just need to make it through the rest of the day. I can't wait to get you home. Get you naked and wrap my arms around you and just hold you." Joe said. "I can definatly look forward to that. Now get out and swap places. I still don't trust you to drive. If we are going to make it to the couch naked we have to finish the day out." Zeb said. "You don't trust me ?" Joe said. "Well you did hit Max's pride and joy." Zeb laughed. "Spoil sport." Joe said smiling and leaning back over for a much more sensual kiss on the lips.

When Brian pulled back up to the barn he could see Ty's SUV at the house. Walking across the yard he opened the kitchen door. "You home babe ?" Brian called out. "Back here." Ty called out. Brian walked into the master bedroom. "What are you doing ?" Brian asked. Ty had a suit case on the bed and had thrown some clothes in it. "The doctor came to me and said that B wanted me to be Durk's nurse. They are flying him to his cardiologist this afternoon in Texas. I hope you don't mind." Ty said. "Not at all. They both need you to take care of them. What can I do ?" Brian asked. "Well I have food prepared I think. Most of the laundry has been done. I bought groceries so the boys have plenty of snacks......." Ty continued. "Hey ... hey... babe. I got the house and the boys. I am not totally helpless you know." Brian laughed and he pulled Ty to him and hugged him. "I know I am being crazy. You can manage just fine without me." Ty said. "Oh no. You wait right there. Me and the boys will muttle through while you are gone. That's all. You are the glue here remember. You always say you are having to raise three." Brian laughed.

As Carl and Max arrived at the house Mitch and Artie were packing their car. "Getting ready guys ?" Carl asked as he stepped out of the truck. "B called and said that the doctor here had called Durk's Cardiologist in Texas. They are going to dope Durk up for the trip and we are flying them out in a couple of hours. Ty is going along as the nurse. " Mitch said. "Can we do anything ?" Max asked. "Not that I know of right now. We will let you know what the doctor in Texas says and if they are going to do any surgery." Artie said. "Well if they plan to operate we want to be there. I hate to ask but we may need you to fly back and get us." Carl said. "We can fly back and get you anytime you want. That is not even a question." Mitch said. "Well you have the company credit cards. Do whatever you need for the plane and for yourselves." Carl said. "The plane expense is still on B's accounts." Mitch said. "Well we will pay him back then. You just take care of them." Max said. "We will." Artie said as he closed the truck.

As the men spoke a deputy's car pulled down the drive. " I wonder what he wants ? I guess they have to fill out a report on what happened." Carl said. The deputy got out of the car with a paper in his hand. "How's it going ?" Carl asked. "Going good. How is your friend ?" The deputy asked. "He is stable. They are moving him to a hospital in Texas but we think he will be fine. Thanks for asking." Carl said. "I hated to come out here today but wasn't given much choice." The deputy said. "You are Max Rexlan, correct ?" Turning to look at Max. "You know I am but I understand so, yes." Max said. "What is this all about ?" Carl asked. Max took the paper and began to read it. "You have to be fucking kidding me." Max said. "We thought the same thing but we didn't have a choice." The deputy said. "I know you didn't. You are just doing your job." Max said. "Doing what job ? What the hell is going on ?" Carl asked. Max held the paper up. "You know the trial is coming up for the ranch hand that attacked me." Max said. "Yeah don't remind me." Carl said. "Well I have been summoned as a witness for his defense." Max said. "You are joking right ?" Carl said as Max handed him the paper to read. "Sorry guys." The deputy said. "It's not your fault." Max said. "Wait until I get my hands on that fucking lawyer." Carl said. "No you don't. I can handle this." Max said. "But......" Carl started. "But nothing. It's all legal." Max said.

Landon rushed around the house helping the farmer's wife pack their suit cases. The farmer had returned to the house after watching the hands working with the cattle again. "What are you doing ?" He asked. "B called and they are flying Durk to Texas. Go wash your face and hands. You don't have time for a bath." She said. "A bath ? Why ?" The farmer asked. "Landon is taking us to the airport. We are going to Texas." She said. "They don't need us tagging along." The farmer said. "I don't remember asking. If you want to stay here then stay but when I get back you better not be here." The wife said. Landon moved faster to stay as far from the conversation as he could. "I guess I am going then." The farmer said. "I thought so." She said as she went into the bathroom to pack toiletries.

Landon still felt out of place. The farmer sat in the chair near the bed. "Let that be a lesson young man." The farmer said. "What do you mean ?" Landon asked. "You need to do that to Ross every now and then." The farmer laughed. "Not to be rude but I don't think Ross would question it at all." Landon said. "It's not that. She and I have been together so many years I need a reminder every now and then that she still loves me." The farmer said. "You got that out of that argument ?" Landon said. "You have to look at it from my point. She loves me enough that she wants me to go. She also had to prove to herself that I still loved her. When she gave me a choice of going or moving out she knew that my answer to go meant I still loved her." The farmer said. "You have a weird way of saying it." Landon said. "No son. We say it every day. You will realize that after a few years that you have to do more than say it. You have to prove it. You and Ross will learn what little things are proof to each other." The farmer said. "I guess you are right." Landon said. "I don't mind going at all. In fact I would feel better being there than staying here. Just don't tell her I said that." The farmer laughed. "Your secret is safe with me." Landon laughed.

The engines on the plane were humming as the ambulance pulled up to the ramp. Mitch, Artie, Ty and Landon met the Paramedic as he opened the back doors. "Oh my. A royal welcome with such scrumptious men." B said smiling. "How is Mr. Durk ?" Landon spoke up quickly. "Well first off. "Uncle" Durk will be alright. Second why is it I get a reception of such young and viral hotties that it's all about that old fart." B laughed. "They are looking at you sweetheart." Durk whispered. "I know they are baby. Yes he will be fine. It's all about me. Like it should be." B said laughing as he stepped out of the ambulance. All but the Paramedic chuckled at B. The Paramdeic did not know B well enough to know that it was normal behavior. Everyone smiled but the one. As B walked by he stopped and placed his hand lightly on the man's should. "Hang around long enough sweet cheeks and you will know the real me." B said as he took his hand from the man's shoulder but before walking off reached back and pinched him on the butt. The Paramedic jumped. "Oh yes. Nice and firm. Just like B likes them." B laughed causing the Paramedic to smile and blush. "Is he always like that ?" He asked. "Oh believe me. That's the calm version." Artie whispered. "I heard that." B called back laughing.

Once Durk was settled in the bedroom of the plane and Ty had given him a shot to relax him for the trip the others assembled in the main cabin. Landon and the Paramedics were about to exit the plane when B hugged the Farmer's wife and broke down into a hysteric cry. Ty stood beside the famer and Landon. "You see sons. Sometimes you just have to trust your partner that they know more about what you need to do and where you need to be than you do yourself. " The farmer said before patting each one on the shoulder. "Alright everyone if you will take a seat and buckle up we will be taking off in about three minutes." Artie said as he walked back from the cock pit. "Let us know what's going on." Landon said as he hugged Ty. "I will. Do me a favor and check in on Brian and the boys. I want the house still standing when I get back." Ty laughed. "You got it. Ross and I will check on them tonight." Landon said as he started down the stairs.
 
THANK YOU!, Lake, for that very Powerful chapter! :=D: ..|

The main thing is that LOVE abounds, in so many ways, and especially when an emergency strikes. If I may paraphrase, "One for All, and ALL for ONE!" (group)

Lake,
I saw this hit my in-box earlier today and So wanted to read it - sadly work prevented that from happening.

It's a heart stopping beginning and as Chaz said, so full of love.

The brats deserve to spend some time in Prison for trying to cheat their father out of his property and his life.
 
Another great chapter, hope Durk is gonna be okay!! Glad you are back in the writing spirit, looking forward to more!!
 
Do I need to say that it's a great chapter you gave Lake ? As Chaz says "Tous pour un, Un pour tous " it 's always true that things work better when everybody is going in the same direction ...
 
Lake, I think it is safe to say that we collectively miss you and your wonderful story.
 
I have to add my voice to the above sentiments, too.

Lake, Buddy! As much as we'd LOVE more story, it's O.K. to just pop by and say, "Hi"! :wave: ..|

We'd like to hear from You! (group)

Of course ... No Matter What ...
