Chapter 12
It was Saturday morning and for the first time in a week, Jim and Zac slept in their own beds. Jim felt kind of lonely but at the same time thought it felt good to be alone. He showered, got dressed and headed downstairs. Fixing breakfast by himself seemed to take a little longer, but it was for the best.
Mrs. Bolt came downstairs. She looked around. "Where's Zac?"
Jim looked sad and started to tell his mom, "He." was all Jim got it.
"Oh, honey are you alright?" Mrs. Bolt asked. She started towards Jim to hug him.
Jim started cracking up. "I can't do it. Zac and I decided we should sleep in our own beds last night and if anyone asked say we broke up. I just can't do it." Jim was walking by his mom carrying the food he had just prepared and she cracked him on the ass. "Hey, that hurt."
"Well, you deserve it. You had me worried."
"You gonna crack Zac's ass, too? It was his idea."
"When he comes over, I might. So, why did you sleep in your own beds?"
"Zac's afraid that we're moving too fast and thought it might be a good idea. It also lets me know how much I miss him when he's not around."
"You love him very much, don't you?"
"Yea, Mom. I do. And don't ask me to compare how I feel for him to how I feel for you. They are two different kinds of love."
"I should hope. So what are you guys planning for tonight?"
"Not really sure, I know Zac has a bag of marshmallows and we plan to swim. Aside from that, maybe some sex." Jim said grinning.
"You're bad. I don't know if you really plan on having sex or not, but remember what I said." Doorbell rang and Jim started to get up. "Finish your breakfast, I'll go let Zac in."
Mrs. Bolt opened the door and as Zac walked in, she cracked him. Jim chuckled when he heard Zac yelp. Zac walked into the dining room rubbing his ass. "That hurt, someone check, I don't think it's broke, but I think I have a crack."
Jim got up and pulled the back of Zac's pants out. "Yeap, I definitely see a crack."
"James Patrick Bolt, what do you think you are doing?"
"He said for someone to check, Mom. At least I didn't pull them down so he mooned you."
"You two, get out of here before I grab a belt." She said shaking her head.
Zac picked up Kunoichi and Jim gave him a funny look. "Grab Colby. They'll like being at the ranch and Jackson doesn't mind."
"So, aside from the daily taking care of the horses, what's the plan for today?" Jim asked as he picked Colby up.
"Matt and Gina usually show up on Saturdays around ten. We need to have four horses ready so we can take them on the trails. They're always welcome to go on their own, but they pay good money to have a hand take them and they usually ask for me. Matt tips well, too."
"Will my being there cut into your tip?" Jim asked.
"Honestly, I have no idea, but for the first few weeks, you need to shadow somebody. And having you with me is worth much more than any tip."
"What if they gave you a million dollars?"
"First, no one in their right mind is going to tip like that and second, you're still worth more."
"You really know how to make a guy feel loved. I love you also."
"So, what did you think about sleeping apart?"
"That part of me felt good being alone but I really missed your body against mine. What did you think?"
"Boy, I'm glad I don't have the puppies on my bed to poop on my pillow." Zac teased.
"Seriously, I think it was a good idea for us to sleep alone, but I definitely missed you." Jim admitted.
"I know, I missed you, t. also." Zac started. Jim grinned.
They pulled into the ranch just before six. As they got out of the truck, Jackson stepped out of his office. "Jim, can I see you in the office real quick? We need to talk."
Zac told Jim to come to the barn when he was done. Jim walked into Jackson's office. "Is something wrong?" Jim didn't have a clue what was going on.
"No, we just need to talk." Jackson started his computer and was showing Jim a file entitled 'Gold'. He should Jim what he paid for Gold and showed him that when he handed Jackson money, it could be entered but required a password be created the first time. Then when Jackson accepts it, he also had to input a password. "You're free to look at this any time, but when money exchanges hands, it requires both of our passwords. While hopefully we trust each other, this makes it easier to keep track."
"Shoot, Jackson. I just figured you know what I need to pay you and would just let me know when you were paid in full. I know you won't cheat me."
"Glad you feel that way, but this way, you can always know what you still owe and there won't be any guess work. And while we're here, here is your first check."
Jim looked at it. He figured since the only day he had worked was last Sunday, that must be the cut-off date. He also noticed that instead of sixteen dollars an hour, it said seventeen dollars. He questioned Jackson about it.
"No, that's right. Since you'll be helping train new riders, you'll get an extra dollar an hour."
"Cool, I wasn't expecting that and didn't want to cheat you." Jim said.
"Well, you seem like a nice young man. Barely know you, but I like you. You definitely have character. Now go find Zac and get started."
"OK, and as soon as I get this cashed, I'll start giving you money towards Gold." Jim said.
"No, use that for yourself or your mom. Start paying me when you have a bigger check."
"Thanks, Jackson." Jim said as he headed out the door. He went to his locker to grab what he needed and Zac questioned him. Jim explained what they talked about. He stuck his check in his locker so he wouldn't lose it.
Matt and Gina showed at promptly at ten. They paid Jackson and went to the stables. "Where's the Palomino? Can I see him?" Matt asked.
"He's right here." Zac said.
"He's saddled? Does that mean I get to ride him?" Matt was hopeful.
"No, the owner will be. Like I said, he has only let one person ride him, so we can't risk letting anyone else." Zac stated.
"It might be alright as long as I hold the bridle while he gets on." Jim offered.
"OK, but if he even once acts like he's not going to let you, then you have to agree to stop trying." Zac demanded.
"Are you sure the owner won't mind?" Matt asked.
"We're sure." Jim and Zac said in unison.
Matt walked over and petted Gold. "You sure are a handsome fuck. You gonna be nice and let me ride you for just a couple minutes?" Matt started to get on but Gold definitely didn't like it. "Nope, guess not."
Matt walked over to the horse that Zac was holding for him. Jim got on Gold and Matt's jaw dropped. Zac and Jim just smiled. "You're the owner?" Gina asked.
"Yea," Jim responded and then told them his story with Gold.
"Well, with you there, he still wouldn't let me get on, so he's definitely a one-man horse." Matt declared. They started on the trail. Matt rode beside Jim and Zac rode beside Gina. Zac held Kunoichi and Jim had Colby with him as they rode. When they got to a field that was easily the size of two football fields, Matt looked at Jim. "Want to race? I'd love to see what your horse can do."
"Zac, say go." Jim responded handing Colby to Zac.
Both horses were quarter horses and almost identical in size, but Jim is a year younger than Matt, so he's a little lighter. And Gold didn't hold anything back. They returned to Zac, Gina and the puppies; and Matt was talking about how beautiful Gold's lines were as he ran.
"You should have seen his mother. She was a beauty, too. Sad thing is, we never did find out what happened but she disappeared shortly after Gold was born. I was twelve and my dad told me that if I took care of this Palomino colt and raised him, he would be mine. It took some time to get him to bottle feed, but with no mother, he really didn't have much of a choice."
"Wow, so the two of you really bonded then. That explains why he is so attached to you." Matt offered.
"I guess that's why he lets me ride him when he won't let anyone else."
The four enjoyed riding for a few hours and eventually made it back to the stables. Matt and Gina took care of the horses they rode while Jim took care of Gold and Zac took care of his horse. Jackson came over. "Jim, I have someone on the phone that wanted to know if I had a Palomino stallion. I told them that there is one here but that I was in the process of selling him. They want a Palomino and are willing to pay twice the usual stud fee."
"Well until I get you completely paid, technically, he's still your horse." Jim said.
"True, but I won't do you like that. I was thinking, if you're willing, that we split the stud fee. Your share could actually pay almost half what I paid for him. It's up to you."
Jim was shocked. "They going to come here with the mare, or do we have to take Gold there?" Jim finally asked.
"They would come here on Monday, and I would be here the whole time to look after Gold."
"As long as you're all for it, I see no reason not to do it." Jim said.
"Great, I'll let them know and we can either deduct it from what you owe me, or I can write you a check for your share and you can give me whatever you wish."
"It would be extra money, so just deduct it from what I owe."
"Sounds good to me." Jackson responded as he went back into the office.
The boys finished taking care of the horses and Matt walked up to Zac. "Thanks for the enjoyable ride as always." He said slipping Zac some cash. He then walked over to Jim and handed him some as well. "Glad I got to meet Gold and thanks for letting me try to ride him.
"Would have been nice if he would have let you. Maybe once he gets to know you." Jim offered.
"Well, I'm willing to be friends with him, but it's up to him whether I ride him or not. You seem like a cool dude, and I'm glad you and Zac found each other. Zac has always been a good friend and he deserve a great guy."
"You seem cool, too. I didn't know how to take you the first time we met, but you're alright."
Matt and Gina left. Jim looked at Zac. "Did you get what you normally do? If not, you can have what he gave me." Jim said.
"Keep it. He actually tipped better than he usually does."
"Now what? We have a couple hours until four."
Zac looked at Jim with hunger in his eye. He grabbed his hand and led him into the barn. They climbed the ladder to the loft and Zac started kissing Jim. While he kissed Jim, he undid Jim's belt. This surprised Jim. Zac undid Jim's fly and pulled his jeans down.
"Dude, what if somebody comes?" Jim asked.
"If we hear someone enter the barn, I'll go down to distract them while you get yourself dressed. I've actually wanted to do this all week but not allowed myself."
Zac pushed Jim against the bales of hay and knelt down in from of him. Jim quickly inflated to a full seven inches. While he sucked, Zac wiggled a finger into Jim's ass and found his prostrate. It didn't take long for Jim to shoot his load. Zac didn't let any escape. When he was done, he even licked any residue off Jim's cock.
Zac no sooner finished and they heard Jackson enter the barn. "Zac, are you in here?"
"Be right there, Jackson." Zac called out as he started for the ladder.
"I got a call, couple have a horse for sale. I'm going to check it out. Would you mind manning the office and take messages while I'm gone?"
"Not a problem. Any idea when you'll be back?" Zac asked.
"I might be back in time for the cookout. I already have hands cooking the beef, we're using the other half of the cow from the school's cookout. If I'm not, make sure you boys go out there around four. Your camp site should be set up already, too."
"Thanks, Jackson."
Jackson left and Zac and Jim sat in the office talking. The puppies followed them in. Phone rang a couple times and Zac took messages. One person wanted to set up riding lessons and another wanted to book a day of riding for his family. Zac told them that the owner would get back with them as soon as he could.
Just a little before four, Mrs. Bolt pulled up to the ranch. Jim ran out of the office. They loaded the food that she brought into a wagon. Zac put the two puppies in the wagon. Jim gathered Gold and a horse for Zac and hitched them to the back of the wagon. Jim helped his mom up to the seat and Zac sat beside her. Jim got in back with the food and the puppies.
Jackson rode up to the cookout just as the food was done being set out. He was on a horse that Zac had never seen before. It was a white quarter horse stallion. Zac was stricken with how beautiful the horse was. "You like him, don't you?"
"I sure do? Is this the new horse?" Zac said
"Sure is. You want to ride him?" Jackson asked.
"Would love to. What's his name?"
Jackson chuckled. "Family's son was a Lone Ranger fan. His name is Silver."
Jackson dismounted and Zac got on. "He looks magnificent. Why'd they sell him?"
"Sad story actually. Son was in the military and came home from Afghanistan in a box. Horse was his and they didn't want the reminder. They called and said I could have the horse for $100 if I got him today. They even threw in this saddle." Saddle was identical to Jim's.
"That is sad, but I know you'll take care of him. Any chance I get to ride him, I'd consider it an honor in memory of their son."
"Well, I was hoping that you'd like to pay me that hundred and he'd be yours. Like Jim, you can make payments, but I thought since Jim has Gold, you like Silver."
Zac chuckled. "Yes, I'll gladly pay you for him. I've always wanted my own horse. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy riding any of yours, but I've always wanted my own."
"Can understand that. You can use the stall beside Gold to keep him in."
Zac rode Silver for a while then placed him with Gold. He went and grabbed some food and sat with Jim. Jackson came over and sat with them. "I have a question. How many people work for you?" Zac asked.
"Well, with the cattle, there are fourteen hands. At the main ranch, I would say we have nine counting you and Jim. Why do you ask?"
"Just curious, but with all these employees, you make me feel like I am special, and I can see you doing the same with Jim."
"Well, Zac, you were the first person I hired when I started this ranch. And you and Jim remind me so much of the boys I worked with at Second Chance." Jackson said.
"That's cool. So, is your boyfriend coming out?"
"He called and said he's on the way." Jackson said as he stood up. Jim saw his mom approaching.
"This cook-out was a great idea, even if we did just have one two days ago with the school." Mrs. Bolt said as she sat down.
"I'm glad the coach called me on Monday to set that up. I wasn't too sure what I would have done with the other half of this cow. I'm also glad that you're enjoying it out here two nights so close together." Jackson stated.
"I'm glad that Zac introduced this place to Jim. He really needed this place. How did you come up with the name?" Mrs. Bolt asked.
"Well, I worked at a ranch called Second Chance. I wanted this ranch to be a lot like it, which is why I've been debating on using some of the land as a horse rescue. I figured there can only be one second chance, but there could be another chance. Been talking to the owners of Second Chance. They may come out soon to look over the area for the rescue. We'll discuss what needs to be done."
