"Not what I thought escape meant" Chapter 69 Morning came sooner than any had wanted. As the men met at the barn there were snickers as Landon and Ross walked up. One of the ranch hands stretched and yawned. "When you two going to tone it down so we can get some sleep ? Hell it sounds like cats having sex with all the screaming." He laughed. "Yeah I brought you a pillow to use today Landon. Figured you may need it to set on." Another said pulling a small pillow from behind his back. "You guys are just jealous." Ross laughed. "We wondered if you would need an extra day off." Joe laughed. "Is this pick on Landon day ?" Landon asked. "Better than pick on Carl day." Carl laughed. "Could you guys really hear us ?" Landon said blushing. "He is so cute when he blushes." Brian laughed. "Nah but we couldn't resist." One of the hands said. "Alright. Joe is meeting Daryl to work out the logistics of moving the house. Ross the new heard is yours again today. I need one of you to go with him and help get a list together for the new fencing. I am with grain and hay and Brian is with the other herd." Carl said. "What do I do today ?" Landon asked. "Go soak in a tub of epsom salts. Ross will be off work in a few hours." One of the hands said causing them all to laugh. "Max will be here in a minute and you and him are going to look at the house and then at the land. After that Durk and B said they wanted you to go over and meet with them. I think they want to lay out their transition plan." Carl said. Max pulled up in his SUV. "Alright guys. You got your assignments for today so let's get busy." Carl said. Ross walked up and hugged Max as he got out of the truck. "Thank you so much for giving us yesterday off." Ross said. "Did you make the best of the day ?" Max asked. "I am on cloud nine. I kept this sexy man naked all day." Ross said putting his arm around Landon. "ROSS." Landon said. "That's what we were hoping for. When the gate won't open to get to the house you know that's a day I keep my man naked so I can see that sexy ass all day." Carl said reaching over and goosing Max's ass cheek. "Alright you two. There is a ranch to run so get to work. Oh Ross we expect you two at the house for supper and a family business meeting tonight." Max laughed. "Family business meeting ?" Ross asked. "Yes a family business meeting. You both are family." Carl said. With a quick kiss between each couple they were each on their way. "Mr. Max we should have gotten one of the trucks. You are going to scratch your SUV going through some of this." Landon said. "We won't drive that far. We will walk part of the way. Besides I figured you needed a comfortable seat to set in for a while. Hell I know I do." Max laughed. "Well after seeing your husband I see why you have such comfortable seats." Landon laughed. They could see the house from where they parked. As they walked towards the house it seemed to get bigger and bigger. "This is huge. Well not as huge as yours but it's a big house." Landon said. "First off there is one correction. It's Uncle Max. When Carl told me there was a small farm house here I expected a small house like the farm houses in Georgia. This must be a small farm house for Wyoming." Max laughed. The two walked up on the stoop of a front porch. "Well this will have to change." Max said. "What is that ?" Landon said. "A house can have a stoop. A home needs a huge inviting front porch." Max said. Both men were surprised at what good shape the house was in. If it were not being moved it would be move in ready for most people. It was a two story house. Like so many older homes the second story was really attic space made into rooms with dormer windows to let in light. "You think this is enough room for you and Ross to run around naked ?" Daryl asked as he and Joe walked in the door. "Is this pick on Landon day ?" Landon asked. "If we didn't love you we wouldn't pick on you." Daryl said. "I love you too Mr. Daryl." Landon said. "You better get the Uncle and Aunt thing down before supper tonight. You don't want Mary getting on your ass. I am sure it's sore enough as it is." Joe laughed. "We will have to take that stoop off to move the house." Daryl said. "Good. If I had a hammer I would take it off now." Max said. "We will need to replace this banister going up stairs. Can't have one of them laying out of work for sliding down this rail naked and getting splinters." Joe said laughing. Landon just blushed. "It just needs a little paint and a little cleaning." Landon said. "Shut your mouth boy. This will get a total overhaul like all the rest. My family has to eat too." Daryl laughed. "Yeah I think these hardwood floors can look beautiful but all the wiring and plumbing have to be replaced. Plus that hideous kitchen and those nasty bathrooms have to go." Max said. The bottom floor consisted of the living room, dining room, kitchen, one bedroom and one bathroom. Taking the stoop off other than the dormer windows upstairs it would appear to be a huge square box. The living room was on one side which took up three fourths of the house with a small room beside it that was apparently the master bedroom. On the other side of the staircase was a huge dining room that was open all the way to the back of the house where the kitchen was. "Daryl. Can you draw us up a floor plan and do a computer model centering the fireplace between the living room windows. Put in arch ways separating the dining room from the kitchen and putting a breakfast room in that space too. Maybe add a bay window in that area. On this side make this an office space and put French doors on that big blank wall on the back and build a new master bedroom and bathroom. Make the downstairs bath just a half bath. The extra space you save can be made into a walk in pantry for the kitchen from the other side. The outside would look great as one of the cottage style with the half rock columns from a large porch and wood the rest of the way up. " Max said. "I can do that. What about upstairs ?" Daryl asked. "The bathroom needs to be bigger. Maybe a dormer out the back to make more space. That will give the back some character too. Oh and don't forget a back porch." Max said. "Looking at the roof I think the cedar shingles would look sharp." Daryl said. "Maybe part of it. That's a lot of roof for the birds to peck on but at least make sure they are the architecture ones." Max said. "I am sure they are going to be doing some family cooking so we will make sure the kitchen is right." Joe said. "Only thing left at the moment is the spot to put it and the go ahead to move it." Daryl said. As Joe and Daryl began measuring rooms Max and Landon left them to it. "How are things going with you two ?" Carl asked as he and Ross looked over the herd. "It's like a dream come true. It's like a miracle." Ross said. "I know that it's all new and overwhelming but just remember how you feel today when it's a tough day." Carl said. "I will Uncle Carl. I never thought I would meet someone that fit so well with me." Ross said. "Oh it fits huh ?" Carl laughed. "Many times Uncle Carl but that's not what I mean." Ross said. "I know what you are talking about. I never thought I would meet someone like Max either. We just seem to fit together well. And before you say it smart ass. Yes it fits. Many times." Carl laughed. "I am just afraid I will wake up and it's all a dream." Ross said. "It's no dream my friend. You have a good man there. You are a good man. Together you can make an awesome couple. Besides Uncle Max and I are wanting some more grandkids." Carl said. "We are trying I promise." Ross laughed. "Oh I am sure you are. Max and I just want you to know that we are here for you two. We will do anything we can and that's a promise." Carl said. "I am still not sure what we have done to deserve all of this but I can promise we are grateful." Ross said. "Just always remember if Landon is happy then it will be a happy home. You have to be happy too though." Carl said. "As long as Landon is happy I am happy. That's all that matters." Ross said. "Sounds like my house. Max's happiness is all I care about. You have seen part of what we have gone through. If you love Landon like you say you do then you can weather anything. Just remember that and that sex is not the answer to everything." Carl said. "If we never had sex again as long as Landon stayed with me I would be content." Ross said. "Well let's just hope that doesn't happen." Carl laughed. "Your mouth to God's ear." Ross laughed. Max and Landon got out of the SUV again across the road. They walked through the wooded area to a small hill on the property. "I hope I didn't upset you with all the recommendations for your house." Max said. "Ross and I will just be living there. It's your house but we don't need all of that." Landon said. "Well hopefully you will live many happy years in this house. Plus Carl and I are hoping for some more little ones running around the house one day." Max said. "I keep telling Ross I can't get pregnant but he keeps trying." Landon laughed. "So you two are not using protection ?" Max asked. "Ross said I was his first and I believe him. I wish he had been my first but it has been a couple of years and I have been tested twice since then. I gave Ross the option. He keeps telling me that he wants to buy a tanker trailer of lube and park it outside and run a hose through the window." Landon laughed. "Oh hell don't let Carl hear him say that. He hasn't thought of that yet." Max laughed. Max and Landon walked around the small hilltop. "What do you think Landon ?" Max asked. "This is a really nice spot but aren't you wasting a lot of pasture land by putting the house this far back ?" Landon asked. "As much land as this ranch has don't worry about wasting pasture land. We need to put the house on the best spot the land has to offer." Max said. "I am still not sure why you even want my opinion." Landon said. "Well our hope is that you and Ross decide to grow old right here on the ranch. You will be the ones living here. Follow me." Max said. Max smiled as he heard Landon gasp as they walked through the small thicket of trees. On the other side was a cleared area and a drop off to a small valley. Looking across the opening were more beautiful mountain views. "Since the house will not be seen from the road we won't have to worry about squaring it with the road. If we place it just right then you will be able to have these views from almost every room in the house. Especially the master bedroom and the back yard." Max said. "It is breath taking." Landon said. These trees to the side will stay and a barn will be built beyond them and the pastures. That way you don't see them from the house. You have work area and then home separate." Max said. "Most don't worry about convenience and privacy on a ranch. It's all about use of space." Landon said. "Well I think by now you have realized that our ranch is a little different." Max laughed. "A little ?" Landon laughed. "Alright it's settled. Bring Ross out here after work before you come to the house and show him where you decided." Max said. "He may want to move it." Landon said. "I saw the way he looked at you. Believe me. As long as you move in it he wouldn't care if it hung off a cliff." Max said. "You really think so ?" Landon said and smiled. "The boy is head over heals in love with you. I just hope you are with him too." Max said. "I am. It's scary but I am." Landon said. Max and Landon placed some flags on the property. They marked where the house should go and what trees should be removed for the view. "Alright let's run to Flo's for lunch and then you have to meet with Durk and B." Max said. Walking back to the SUV Landon kept looking over his shoulder at the flags. "Are you alright with the choices ?" Max asked. "Um. Yes but I still don't see why my opinion counts." Landon said. "But it does. Never doubt that around here about anything." Max said as he opened the driver's door. "Well I don't believe it. That cute hunk of yours let you get dressed long enough to go to lunch ?" Flo called out as they walked into the diner. A few of the customers looked up to see who Flo was talking too before looking back at their food. "Flo. Some of your customers may not like to hear that type thing." Landon whispered. "Honey that sign out there still says Flo's. They don't like what I got to say they can put their fork down and get the hell out." Flo said. "Sounds like she means that." Landon said. "She does." Max laughed. " What you want besides a pillow to set on honey because if you don't need that pillow then your boss here needs to give you two a couple more days off." Flo said. "What do you recommend ?" Landon said. "This is Flo's honey. I recommend everything." Flo laughed. "I want a cup of coffee to start out Flo." Max said. "Coming up. What you want honey. You two have company coming for lunch anyway." Flo said. "We are ?" Max said. About that time he heard the bell ring on the door and saw Carl and Ross walking through the door. "Alright you four. You plan on stripping in here and having sex on the tables let me know so I can clear the place out first." Flo laughed. Lunch went well. Flo had long since lost her ability to embarrass Max but Ross and Landon were fair game. Carl and Max laughed a few times at how red each of the young could turn at times after Flo made comments. "How did it go with the house and the lot ?" Carl asked. "I think it went well. Daryl is drawing up some plans. Landon and I looked at a spot for the house. He is suppose to take you to look at it after work Ross. Then you guys can tell us tonight what you think. " Max said. "Whatever you decide will be fine with us. It's your house." Ross said. "That's true but I told Landon that I hoped that you two had many happy years in that house so it is up to you." Max said. "I told him I didn't understand why they needed our opinion but he wouldn't listen." Landon said. "Oh my husband is good with his selective hearing." Carl said. "Did he just speak." Max said pointing towards Carl. "See what you have to look forward to Ross." Carl laughed. "Well you two take Max's SUV to meet Durk and B. My honey is going with me to finish checking the herd. You can leave it at the barn when you are done. You will need to get your truck from where we left it too." Carl said. "Are you sure about that ?" Ross asked. Both Max and Carl just shook their head in disbelief that Ross would question them. Ross and Landon arrived at the farmer's house to find Durk and B along with the farmer and his wife setting in the yard watching the construction crew as they worked. "Hello Mr. Durk and Mr. B. It's so good to see you." Landon said as he walked up to shake their hands. B stood up and hugged the young man. "Are you happy here ?" B whispered. "As I could possibly be." Landon whispered. "Good. I had hoped you would." B whispered. "I hear it's you I need to thank." Landon whispered. "Alright you two." Durk said. "Hush you old fart." B said. "I want to thank you both for bringing me here." Landon said. "Not as much as I want to thank you." Ross said. "Pull up a chair. You can watch them nail on the house too." The farmer said. "Oh you will learn soon enough. We have new names around here thanks to the twins. I am Gandpaw and that old one over there is Bpaw." Durk said. "Who you calling old ?" B said. "So we expect you two to either call us Uncle or our new names." Durk said. "I feel a little old to call you Ganpaw. Is Uncle Durk good enough ?" Ross said. "As long as I don't hear mister." Durk said. "The mood he is in today you can call him Uncle Old fart." B said. "And don't you say a word." The farmer's wife said to the farmer as he just smiled and shook his head. "I have a question that you may want to answer in private." Durk said looking at Landon. "No need for privacy." Landon said. "Son are you happy here ? So you think you will be happy living here ?" Durk asked. "Mr. uh. I mean Uncle Durk. I love your place in Texas but look around. These views. Who wouldn't love living here." Landon said. "What about me ?" Ross laughed. "You are just a bonus." Landon laughed. "That's what I wanted to hear." Durk said. Durk and B sat down with the two young men and talked to them about their plans for the two to travel between there and Texas. They wanted them to help coordinate the transfer of the rest of the herd and some of the equipment that would be coming. They also wanted Landon to make sure that the herd for the higher grade beef that he had been working with was clearly marked so they would be easy to separate. Durk also discussed which employees of the ranch that Landon felt would want to move with the company and would fit in well at Rexlan ranch. Landon said that most of the employees would probably be glad to stay with the business but he had reservations about one couple. "You know they like to play. They are fairly persistent about playing with any men they can get in their bed. I am afraid they would cause too many problems here. " Landon said. "I know exactly who you are talking about. They tried it with me. Guess they thought they could get to the boss through me." B said. "Well did you take them up on it ?" Durk laughed. "I am too use to you and your old ass. So no." B said in a huff. "When will all of this start ?" Ross asked. "I am going to talk to Carl and Max tonight. We thought about having you two flown to Texas on Sunday. Take a day or so to get acclimated and start checking things out, felling the employees out and making notes on Tuesday." Durk said. "And if you two don't mind we want you to drive a couple of vehicles back for us. Durk's new Ford F150 and one of mine I guess." B said. "The one you just bought ?" Landon said. "Not yet. I think it would look a little weird to have a new Bentley setting in the tractor barn. The new Mercedes will do." B laughed. "What is a Bentley ?" The farmer's wife asked. "A car that cost more than our farm. House included." The farmer said. "Oh. " she said. "it's not all that. Don't worry you will be driving it to get groceries." B said. "I don't think so. My Buick does just fine." She said. "What's a Buick ?" B said causing the group to laugh. "Well when we first met you were driving and Edsel." Durk said. "Well you were driving a Studebaker that had one of the back doors welded on it so it wouldn't fall off." B said. "What is an Edsel and a Studebaker ?" Ross asked. "Smart ass." B said and laughed. "What ?" Ross said which caused all but he and Landon to laugh. Ross and Landon showered together. There was just a little playful touching since they still needed to go to the land and look at what Max and Landon had discussed and still make it to the main house in time for supper. In the truck Landon lay his hand on Ross' bare leg as if it were natural. Pulling onto the lot they were able to drive a little bit closer in Ross' truck than they had in Max's SUV. "Are you sure we are suppose to go back this far ?" Ross said. "We still have to walk a short ways." Landon said. Getting out of the truck Landon reached out and took Ross' hand. Walking through a small plot of trees they came to the opening on top of the hill. "This is where Max wants to put the house." Landon said. "Isn't putting it way back here a waste of some good useable land ?" Ross asked. "I said the same thing. Max said this ranch already had enough land. This was not a waste." Landon said. "If he says so." Ross laughed. "You know that we will be living here." Landon said. "I can't wait. I can chase that cute naked ass of yours all over this yard." Ross said. "Cover your eyes." Landon said. Taking Ross' hand and leading him through another small tree growth Landon stopped Ross and turned him with his back facing the mountain range. "Can you just imagine waking up to this every morning and going to sleep seeing this every night ?" Landon said pulling Ross' hand from his eyes. "I hope to see this for the rest of my life." Ross said looking at Landon. "No dummy. Turn around." Landon said. "HOLY shit." Ross said as he looked out across the mountain range. "Max wants the house turned so that you can see a view like this from almost every room." Landon said wrapping his arms around Ross from behind. Ross pulled Landon's arms free and pulled him around in front of him and pulled Landon's back to his chest. Reaching his arms around Landon and placing his chin on Ross' shoulder. "Will you be happy sweet heart ?" Ross whispered. "I don't need all this. I just need you." Landon said. Ross reached down and ran his hands through the elastic waist band of Landon's running shorts. "You know one day I plan to slide my hard dick up your sweet ass right where we are standing and make sweet love to you." Ross whispered. "This may be our laundry room right here." Landon laughed. "And your point ?" Ross whispered. Moving his fingers down he searched for the waist band of Landon's underwear. "Ah hell my honey isn't wearing undies." Ross said as he reached further down and cupped Landon's low hanging balls. "I figured it would be quicker undressing when we got home. Is that weird ?" Landon said. "Oh no my love. I love you like this. I can sneak a feel and no one will know it." Ross whispered. "Well if you don't stop that and we get going we will be late for supper." Landon said. "Want to skip it ?" Ross said. "You want to call Carl and Max and explain why ?" Landon said. "Point taken. Now get that pretty ass in my truck. Oh and loose the shorts until we get there." Ross said as he removed his hands and took Landon's to lead him back to the truck. The house was in full swing by the time Ross and Landon arrived. The twins almost tackled them at the door. Within a minute Ross and Landon were waving their hellos as they headed to the pile of toys in the middle of the floor. Durk, B, and the farmer sat and watched the four roll around and play on the floor. Landon was careful to make sure nothing fell out of his shorts while tussling with the twins. Daryl came through and without slowing down reached down and pulled Shane up by the waist band of his pants. Shane squealed and squirmed as Daryl held on. "You cared me Pop." Shane laughed. "Oh I did ?" Daryl said as he set the boy on his stomach on the floor and reached down and tickled him. "You didn't care me." Shawn said as he jumped up and ran around behind the couch. "Alright all you kids in here. Supper is on the table." Max said as he entered the room. Dinner was a mass of conversation all around the table. Ross and Landon helped clear the table quickly. Max had prepared a dessert called a three layer pie. Dessert and coffee were served at the table. "While we are all here I want to have a quick family meeting. First of all I want to apologize to both Ross and Landon for the family meeting that we had last night that did not include them." Carl said. "That will be the last. We are a family and we do things together. That being said I want to explain why you were not included." Max said. "Here we go." Brian whispered. "You can leave the table Brian." Carl said sternly. "What ?" Brian said. "Let me apologize once again Ross and Landon. Brian has issues that do not involve you two but he has already been told of his fate on more than one occasion. You killed the old Uncle Max Brian. Do you really want to test my strength at this point ?" Max said. "No." Brian said. The table calmed down again and Max and Carl began telling the group again about their plans for the future. Ty sat there listening and as Brian tried to place his hand on Ty's knee it was quickly brushed away. Ross and Landon sat there with their mouths open and in shock. Ross had a high respect for Brian and in the back of his mind understood, he thought, why Brian reacted the way he did. "I hope you understand now Landon why we wanted you so involved in the land and the house. Carl and I both want you and Ross to have many happy years together in that house and a part of this family." Carl said. Landon looked at Ross and for the first time together Ross was able to read his mind and his expression. "I think that I speak for both Landon and myself when I say that we are honored and overwhelmed to be included in your plans but for the sake of this family that we have grown to love I think we would like to respectfully give you our resignations. I will be glad to stay and train someone on the herd that I oversee and I feel sure that Landon will be glad to train someone to take over the third herd. I can not sleep at night knowing that I or we caused an issue in this wonderful family. I am grateful for every opportunity that you have offered and especially for bringing this man into my life. We are young and we have our whole lives ahead of us. We are both hard workers so we will forge our own way through life." Ross said. "I agree." Landon said. At that point Landon and Ross stood from the table and kissed each twin on the top of the head. The entire table could see Carl's fury including Brian. "I am sorry Mr. Max but I don't think I can help with the clean up at this point. I am grateful to everyone in this room for opening their arms and making me a member of this family. I am so sorry that me being here has caused tension." Landon said as he took Ross' hand and headed towards the door. Durk stood and looked at Joe. "Joe can you come with me for a minute ? I need your help." Durk said. Carl turned and looked at Brian. "I see now that your father is so embedded in you that it will never change. At this point I would suggest that you get the FUCK out of my house. I warned you before that I would not stand for your greed. I think it's time you got out of my sight and I don't mean just out of my house. A few states in between us will suit me fine. Oh and just so you know. It's up to Ty if he wants to go with you but you will take those two over my dead body." Carl said and got up and walked out. Brian just sat there with a distant but very angry look in his eyes. B stood up and looked at Brian. "Come with me son." B said. "I'm not your son." Brian spat. "I know you aren't. If you were I would have already beat your ass." B said. "And before you say anything I know Bpaw said a bad word." B said pointing to the twins which caused them both to giggle. "Hey guys wait up." Joe called as Ross and Landon walked down the driveway. "Where are you going ?" Joe asked. Ross just pulled Landon to his chest. So much had happened in just a short time and then all of a sudden Landon was faced with being unemployed and nowhere to live. It all came flooding out and his body trembled and his tears were uncontrollable. Ross on the other hand was furious at the fact that Landon was made to feel that way. He was use to gut punches in his life but he would not stand for anyone making Landon feel that way. "Why are you leaving your truck ?" Joe asked. "That's Rexlan Ranch truck. Please tell Mr. Max to let me know how much he spent on my car and I will pay him back as soon as I can." Ross said. By this point Joe had reached both young men and wrapped his arms around both of them. Durk had not moved as fast. Finally reaching the group. "Can we go set down somewhere and talk ?" Durk asked. "I appreciate it Mr. Durk but there is really nothing to discuss. Brian was right. I understand where he is coming from. I just hate to think that he or Ty may think that either of us asked for this." Ross said. "There is a lot that you don't know about but I think you need to hear. That's why I asked your Uncle Joe to come with me." Durk said. "I need to tell you a story." B said as he walked across the pool deck behind Brian. "I don't need your opinion and it's none of your fucking business." Brian said. B grabbed Brian's shoulder. "It may be none of my business but damnit you are going to listen. I am an old man. I have earned enough respect from you to listen to me. And another thing. You ever curse at me again and you will find out just how big the bitch is I carry in my pocket. I will also remind you that the bitch I speak of is filthy fucking rich. I can rock your world with the stroke of a pen like no other so set your sorry ass down and listen." B said. "Where is Ty ?" Brian asked. "Probably inside deciding yours and his future. You have to worry about me at the moment. Now sit down." B said.
