Tyler smiled to Rain so closely at his side, his fingertips scrapped against her palm, comforting and teasing her. Those deeply dark brown eyes watched the mare as she dart left then right, trying to pick her best escape route away from Tyler and Rain.<br/><br/>"No reins just yet. We want to break her and make her trust us in order for us to even get close to put the reins or a saddle in her. Shes going to be aggressive at first, she has plenty of energy. She might try to charge you out of the ring or attack you. Just watch her back legs... better yet don't get clise to her back. Just try to dodge her but keep her running the circle to tire her out. Watch me first."<br/><br/>Tyler pulled Rain closer to his side, walking with her to the center of the ring were he whistled as loud as he could. It gave the mare a start by startlibg her, getting her to start running in one direction around the training ring. There was no out of the ring, the mare would just keep looping around in one big circle. When the horse would start to slow down Tyler would give a loud hollar to make the mare jump into action again, making her run.<br/><br/>"It looks wrong to keep startling her to keep her running but its better then the newer methods I have seen done. Some people shock the horse in order to get them to obey" seens horses whipped to be broken. This is the best way to break a horse without causing harm to her."<br/><br/>The wild mare was getting nervous, instead of looping the ring again she came cgarging at Tyler and Rain. Tyler gave Rain a light push to get her to run to the side of the ring, both trying to avoud those back legs in the process. He grinned to Rain while the mare paced back and forth at the opposite side if the ring.<br/><br/>"See what I mean? Now we can't let her settle done to regain her energy, gotta keep at it. Want to try?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> Kandan hadn't moved a inch from his spot against the door, rather his heel had kicked up against the door behind him while his thick roped arms crossed the center of his chest. Tex's room had the sweetest smell he had ever known, her tears. Previously, standing outside of her door he heard those faint sobs the ones she tried to hide so silently from anyobe, but as she would quickly learn, there was no silence that could go undetected by the sharply honed men that lived and worked on this farm.  Kaden's gaze was as restless as Tex was pacing about her room, it seemed like he was searching the shadows of her room looking for a pissible target.<br/><br/>"The crying has to stop... you make your sister worry more about you."<br/><br/>The statement sounded gruff and emotionless, but he wasn't so forthcoming with his emotions like Tyler was. Kaden wasn't the type of man to openly admit when something so simple as a woman's tears bothered him, but it did cause it was Tex, his mate, though he may not fully grasp that connection between them just yet. His hard gaze came back to Tex he could feel her unease around him but that wasn't going to deter him or make him walk out of this room. Though while he listened to that musical voice of her's suprise registered in his mind though didn't show on his expressions. She was dead wrong about him. Flexing his jaw while his hands gripped the upper inside of his upper arms.<br/><br/>"There is not a single thing 'perfect' about me. Iam battle-wore, restless during the day and sleepless at night. Thoughs sounds from my room last night shoukd explain just how fucked in the head Iam, I wasn't exactly having a party next door to you. So you tell me, whats so perfect about me?"<br/><br/>Kaden was anything but perfect and the best term that came to mind was FUBAR, fucked up beyond all recognition. His gaze didn't drop from Tex it was a steady contact that wasn't going to change til he got a answer that would satisfy his cuorsity. Still yet there was the other matter of Court that needed answering too, which again made him wonder, the guy was clearly sadistic and there was no telling what weapons or people he had working for him, though it was clear the guy would start a war to get Rain and Tex back, why was the question. <br/><br/>Why?<br/><br/>Tyler and Kaden had contemplated iver this plenty of nights since they got Rain here and now Tex but neither of them had a full blown picture of the guy yet. The only thing they had to go in was what Tex and Rain told them including what they saw and heard. Kaden's aggression was raising to a new high before he finally kicked his heel off the doir and pushed away from it. He stalked Tex's path til he centered himself right in her way, blocking her from any escape route. His left hand dropped to his side while his right reached out to take her chin with his finger, lifting her head back so that she had to look at him. He hated the bruises she now had from her captivity at the hands of Court, it drove him insane with a need ti spill every drop of bloid from the bastard, but he nor any of them couldb't it was clear that Tex was still in the crossfire of everything that was going on.<br/><br/>"I think Court did something to you... can you remember him giving you anything? Slipped something in the food or drink he gave you? Try to think hard, remember as much as you can."<br/><br/>He knew by having her remember anything from that dark past she would have to face the evil that came at her night and day while she was trapped there. Of their own acord, Kaden's thumb brushed lightly of the deep bruises on her cheek then trailed down to the hand print that wrapped around her throat.<br/><br/>"When we find him... I will serve his head on a pkatter of gold for you and even track down anyone else that ever touched or looked at you while you were there."<br/><br/>This was perhaps the first kindest thing Kaden had said to Tex but it was a solitary creed that he wouldn't stop til everyone that had hurt her was dead. It was true, Kaden was nothing like Tyler or the other guys that lived on the farm, Kaden was hard, at times emotionless and uncaring, he didn't have the easy laid back demenor that Tyler had. Though while his thumb stroked up and down her throat he finally opened, just a crack.<br/><br/>"You need to make sure you are choosing right Tex. Iam not a easy man to be around or live with, but you should know without a doubt that I won't let Court have you back and neither will anyone else here."<br/><br/>He paused for a minute debating what her answer would be, in some way he hoped she would kick him out wished that she would push him away, she had been through enough with Court, she didn't deserve to be put under his dominating personality when she had just been freed of it. He leaned down closer to her looking her directly in the eyes while he spoke.<br/><br/>"Whats your choice?"</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"> Pete swiped the beads of sweat from his brow as he unloaded the last bale of hay from the trailer bed. Kane, and Jayson were stacking then into the storage building at the side of the barn. He had been thinking it over and over inside his head since Tex had passed out. He should go out anyways tonight he needed the release time, he was sure the rest of the guys would agree with him. They had spent the last couple of day saving Tex and working the farm like the dogs they were, they deservered their down tine, right?<br/><br/>He looked to Kane and Jayson, whistling for them to come over as he hopped down from the bed of the trailer. He casually leaned against the side of it, taking a glance over his shoulder to see that they were alone for now. Looking back to the men he smirked while he talked quickly.<br/><br/>"Iam going out tonight, you guys in? We deserve the time off after everything that has been going on."<br/><br/>Jayson and Kane looked to eachother before they both broke into mirroring grins, right the Pete knew they were in for for tonight, only one left was James who was off cleaning out the stalls. Kane and Jayson clapped hands with Pete for his brilliant idea, which would either be fun or they could all get into big trouble for. Getting serious again he looked to them while speaking in a low whisper.<br/><br/>"A hour after dinner, we will meet up by the oak tree thats beside the stream on the outskirts of the farm. Dress fashionably guys... were looking to pick up tonight."<br/><br/> The guys chuckled before they headed back to work. Seemed lije only Tyler was getting any in the house lately, it was getting kinda hard to sleep at night when all you heard was moans and slapping flesh. Skinning your dick could only get you so far before you needed something a little more alive and a little less attached from you own body.</span>
