garage. He stepped out of the truck and looked up towards his new home.
    “It’s a lot bigger than it appears.”
    Ram glanced over his shoulder to find Gray walking towards him. “There’s a staircase going up through the garage and there’s one on the side. Why don’t you back your truck up to the side entrance, and we’ll get it unloaded.”
    Ram nodded and got back in the truck. After backing it to the side steps, he got out and pulled his first load of boxes out of the bed. Gray grabbed a couple of suitcases and led the way up the steps. He unlocked the door and handed Ram the keys.
    “I had Georgia give the place a thorough cleaning before you got here.” He opened the door and preceded Ram into the loft.
    Ram looked around at the high open-beamed ceiling. “At least I won’t feel closed in.” He smiled and carried his boxes through the open floor planned loft. The side entrance led into the kitchen while the garage entrance opened into the living room. The deep-brown leather furniture looked inviting after a long day on the road.
    Gray put down the suitcases and came up behind him. He wrapped his arms around Ram and kissed his neck. “Sorry, but the loft doesn’t have a separate bedroom, only a walled-in bathroom.” He pointed towards the far corner of the room to the king size sleigh bed.
    Ram covered Gray’s hand with his own where they rested on his stomach. “Looks good.” He felt Gray’s cock against his ass and pushed back. “Feels good, too.”
    Gray ran his hands down to cup Ram’s erection through his jeans. “Soon. You need to meet the hands and then come to the house for supper. I’ll make up some excuse to come back over after that.” He squeezed Ram’s cock a little harder. “Then I plan to enjoy this well into the night.”
    Ram pushed against the big hand before turning around to capture Gray’s mouth with his own. He thrust his tongue into the heated recesses of Gray’s mouth and groaned. Pulling back he looked into Gray’s eyes. “Damn, you taste good.” He sighed and stepped back. “Let’s get the rest of my stuff and then go meet everyone.

    After introducing Ram to the rest of the stable hands, Gray escorted him into the formal dining room of the main house. Ram took in the lace tablecloth and china and felt uncomfortable. He’d grown up a ranch foreman’s kid. He wasn’t used to eating on a tablecloth that wasn’t in a red and white checked pattern. He took off his hat and hung it on the hook that Gray pointed to. Raleigh was already seated at the table. She rolled her eyes as Ram sat down.
    “Oh, pleeeaase, Uncle Gray. Don’t tell me the hired help is going to be dining with us from now on.” She gave Gray a disgusted look and rolled her eyes again.
    “You, young lady, have two choices. You can either apologise to Ram right now or have dinner in your room alone until you can act like a lady.” Gray leaned on the table and stared at Raleigh.
    Raleigh stared right back. After several very uncomfortable seconds she narrowed her eyes at Gray and then Ram, before rising from the table.
    “Have Georgia send my dinner to my room.” She started to flounce off in a snit when Gray’s words brought her up short.
    “If you’re having dinner in your room you can damn sure carry it up yourself. Georgia’s done her job by preparing food for the table. If you choose to eat elsewhere it’s on you.” He turned his back on her and poured himself a glass of red wine.
    Raleigh grunted and walked out of the dining room. The next sound they heard was the front door slamming and then a car pulling out of the drive.
    Gray rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands and sighed. “I’m sorry about that. My father certainly didn’t do anyone any favours by spoiling that child like he did.”
    Ram shook his head and chuckled. “She told me earlier that I was nothing but a hired hand and I worked for her. Your little pumpkin also told me that I didn’t want her as
