				The will clearly stated that they must both live at the main house on the ranch to inherit fully.&nbsp; What would it mean to the two enemies?

				Stefan frowns.&nbsp; Any day now his 'partner' will be coming home.&nbsp; To /HIS/ ranch.. the ranch he's single-handedly run ever since she ran off to school.. or the big city.. or to sow her wild oats.&nbsp; Whatever it was.. he had little respect for her and her ideas about what to do.. this was the one topic that him and Nana.. not his true relation..but she might as well be.&nbsp; Taken in as an orphan since the age of 5, he grew up on the ranch.. and while all others drifted in and out.. he was always here.<br><br>Then after the daughter of Nana's Daughter left to go away..he was the only 'family' left.. taking care of the ranch and Nana along with the 20 or so hired hands he managed.&nbsp; Now 34.. he felt it was only natural.. sure give the relations money and deeds and stuff.. let HIM take care of the ranch which had become his home.&nbsp; Let him take care of Nana's legacy.<br><br>Wiping his hands on his coveralls, he reaches up to lift the weatherbeaten cap off his sun-tanned brow and watched the car approach.&nbsp; The slick clean 'newest model this year' city-folk car.<br><br>Leaning to the side, he spits on the ground, then approaches the car as it pulls up... a disapproving frown on his face.

				Angie pulled up in her rental car.&nbsp; Her real vehicle, that she had just ordered, would be delivered in a few days.&nbsp; She hesitated a moment then placed it into park.&nbsp; She looked out at the ranch.&nbsp; She had taken in the beauty of the land on the way here.&nbsp; It was nothing like coming home again.&nbsp; The ranch had been her own little get away from her life and her family.&nbsp; She hadn't grown up in a bad home but rather a stressed one.&nbsp; She had left as soon as she turned 18 and went into the city to college. <br><br>It was only 8 years later that she could claim she was a veterinarian and could pursue her dreams of a successful breeding program.&nbsp; She turned off the car and opened the door.&nbsp; She stepped out of the car one long leg at a time.&nbsp; She had decided to wear her designer jeans and a soft silk lavender shirt for the trip here.&nbsp; She ducked from the car and then closed the door placing the keys in her pockets.&nbsp; Her boots moved acrossed the gravel slowly.&nbsp; She reached in the car window and brought out her cream colored stetson before placing it on her head.&nbsp; <br><br>She had to growl and grind her back teeth together as she had seen Stefan.&nbsp; He was the bad thing about this deal.&nbsp; Other than the grandmother that she had cherished, passing away.&nbsp; She cleared her throat quietly and then walked towards him a bit.&nbsp; She knew there would be a reckoning.

				Stefan scowls..watching Angie walk up.&nbsp; Her fancy city clothing.. her fancy city makeup.&nbsp; It didn't impress him one bit, even if the workhands all paused to gawk.&nbsp; Stefan turned around and waved a hand at them. "Git back to work!" then back to Angie.. "You know.. I don't care none for no lawyers.. you don't really need to come back for dis.&nbsp; You can just go back to de city..and I'll send you a cheque or whatever... you know.. what you deserve."&nbsp; His voice is defensive and almost picking a fight.<br><br>He doesn't offer to carry her bags or anything.&nbsp; As far as he's concerned.. country hospitality does not apply to her.&nbsp; "You were there for her.. not when she was on her deathbed." he turns and walks back towards the house.. only saying that to hurt her.. so bittered by what he feels is someone coming in to steal what he spend his entire life earning.<br><br>Stefan wasn't always so mean to Angie.. when they were kids they'd play together.. ride horses together.&nbsp; But as she focused more and more into school.. he went the opposite ways.&nbsp; And when she left for university.. that was the end of it.

				Angie had to bite the inside of her cheek as he spoke.&nbsp; She knew he held her to little esteem.&nbsp; "You listen here.&nbsp; You aren't pushing me off what is rightfully mine.&nbsp; She left it to me as well and I'm damn well sure I'm going to take it and make it what I want"<br><br>She didnt' ask what he wanted.&nbsp; She didn't really care at the moment.&nbsp; She was seeing red.&nbsp; <em> you know... what you deserve </em> The saying ate at her.&nbsp; His last added barb about not being there when she died made her want to throw something.&nbsp; <br><br>"I couldn't be here and she knew why.&nbsp; She supported me in my decisions unlike many others that I know.&nbsp; Not all of us can just leave things and be okay with it.&nbsp; I'm sure you've had a lot of practice with that."<br><br>She knew she should be red by now.&nbsp; Her temper was flaring and she was hoping that it wouldn't cause her to say much more than she wanted to reveal.&nbsp; She tucked a strand of her long blonde hair behind her ear and then turned back to the back of the car to get her luggage.&nbsp; She knew more of her things would be brought by the movers.&nbsp; She didn't want to remind him of that.&nbsp; She removed her suitcase.&nbsp; "Your stuck with me, you might as well get used to it "&nbsp; <br><br>

				The workers had all stopped to see the two owners of the ranch arguing.<br><br>"Oh..I knows I'sa stuck with you.&nbsp; That Big City Lawyer made it all clear.&nbsp; Wes gotta share the ranch.. the runnin and the descisions.&nbsp; And if Isa don't..then you gets it all."&nbsp; <br><br>He scowls.. his talking getting alittle sloppier.. he's obviously fuming as well.&nbsp; "I ain't gots your fancy education.. but I knows how to run da Ranch.&nbsp; So maybes I can just sets you up.. and you just stay out of the way."<br><br>More of the workers are coming to the fence now..and then Taxi driver is standing up..looking to be paid.&nbsp; Stefan feels his bile growing..but as upset as he is.. he's not going to spit infront of a lady.. right now it's so hard to imagine this was the girl who used to chase him around the buildings.. playing hide and seek.. the one he taught how to ride a horse..and they'd go riding bareback together through the fields.&nbsp; Now he just saw another one of those city suits trying to tell him the best way to run /his/ ranch.

				Angie paid the taxi driver, then turned around.&nbsp; She grabbed her bags and carried them towards the house.&nbsp; she wasn't spoiled.&nbsp; She could do what needed to be done.&nbsp; It wasn't often that she did get things done for her.&nbsp; <br><br>She growled at him slightly.&nbsp; "You keep your mouth civil.&nbsp; I won't be in the way.&nbsp; I'm going to build this into something reputable.&nbsp; Something special.&nbsp; How about we put you up and out of the way?"&nbsp; she knew it would upset him and pushed past him into the house.&nbsp; She definitely didn't need to fight in front of the men so that he could show that he was still alpha male. <br><br>She placed her bags in the house standing in the living room.&nbsp; She was praying that the memories didn't assault her all at once or she could truly lose it standing right in front of her once friend, now enemy.

				Stefan just fumes.. "Don't you walk away from me.. hey..you hearing me little Bah-Bu?" the name he used to call her when they were kids.. now used bitterly to try to remind her that he's older.&nbsp; <br><br>He stalked after her.. the various workers murmering among themselves as the two co-owners walked into the house.<br><br>"I happen to think we have something special right here.&nbsp; We don't sell out to the corporations... and we treats our horses right.&nbsp; Good horses..good staff.. good customers. We don't need anything that you can bring to the table." he scowls.<br><br>He's left the living room more or less the same - he had no need to change it.&nbsp; The homemade shelves by Grandfather years ago.. the hand made.. well..practically everything.&nbsp; He didn't even have a television.&nbsp; <br><br>Walking up..he lowers his voice.."Just.. stay out of the way..and don't ruin everything Bah-bu.&nbsp; Things work fine.. they don't need meddling."&nbsp; He turns and leaves her to unpack

				Angie knew that turning her back on him would make him angry.&nbsp; She scowled as he called out her childhood nickname.&nbsp; She looked around and knew that her own additions to the furniture would just cause him to balk even more. <br><br>She turned as he entered the house to face him.&nbsp; Time had changed him and she knew what the problem with him was.&nbsp; He didn't want to let go and wasn't going to let her do anything. <br><br>'What do you know about me or what I do?&nbsp; You know nothing.&nbsp; You have never taken an interest before so why start now."&nbsp; she started but he walked out the door.&nbsp; She yelled after him. <br><br>"I'll do all the meddling that I damned well please"<br><br>She added to that with picking up her bags and moving to one of the rooms on the main floor.&nbsp; She had stayed their as a child and knew that it would take some re organizing but it wouldn't be bad for the time being.&nbsp; <em> damned stubborn cowboys </em>

				Never taken an interest.. bah.. he practically raised Angie.&nbsp; Like a Sister... or a cousin.&nbsp; He'd play with her because he knew it made Gran happy.. and she was a good kid.&nbsp; A bright kid.&nbsp; He scowls.. hating thinking about how much more advantaged Angie had it.. she's so smart..went to school while he was just a dumb cowboy.&nbsp; Well...he'll show her.&nbsp; All her school smarts isn't good for anything.<br><br>-- -- --<br><br>Stefan is trying damn hard to keep everything onto the regular schedule..and resist any change.&nbsp; And when the large furniture truck pulls into the lot, he pulls his horse over to the side and rides up.. "Heycha got there?&nbsp; Isa didn't order anything." he says.. purposely ignoring Angie on the porch.

				Angie only smiled as the truck pulled up and then watched as he answered.&nbsp; <br><br>She spoke up as she walked down the stairs, the beleagured delivery men more than a little confused.&nbsp; <br><br>"NO but I did.&nbsp; In fact, its the furniture from my own house.&nbsp; Come on guys I'll show you where to put it."<br><br>She glanced at Stefan knowing he would have been able to chew through ten penny nails by now.&nbsp; She only kept herself composed as she showed the gentlemen where to place the bed and have them remove the old one.&nbsp; She told them to place it on the porch knowing the cow hands could use it in the bunkhouse.&nbsp; She watched as they carried in her furniture.&nbsp; It was mostly antiques.&nbsp; She looked over her dresser at Stefan wondering what his take on things would be.&nbsp; She even knew where her new office would be when she set it up and she had a feeling that would take a fight or two. <br><br>She motioned to them where to place the sofas and the rest of her boxes before too long the truck was unloaded and she paid them.&nbsp; They left and she placed her hands on her hips just challenging him to say something.

				Stefan is fuming.. but it's not the mover's fault.&nbsp; He is constantly watching..just glowering.. waiting until they are gone before picking a fight.<br><br>"You have NO RIGHT to move into MY HOUSE and do this.." he stands with his hands on his hips... "and you are NOT taking my DEN for your stupid office.&nbsp; This isn't Dallas..we don't need no stupid office."<br><br>He knows the cowhands would love all the castaways..but he doesn't like..all this...

				Angie had to laugh a bit and she placed her hand over her mouth as she looked down at him. She shook her head and walked into the kitchen muttering about coffee and dumb drunk cowboys.&nbsp; She came back in with a wet cloth and the coffee placing the wet cloth on his skin to get him to rouse.<br><br>"come on, lets get you up and get some coffee into you.&nbsp; Wouldn't want to you fall down on the job now would we?"<br><br>She sighed a bit and knelt next to him.&nbsp; She remembered the fun they used to have.&nbsp; They hadn't had that in a while.

"G'day to you" his tone the only part not being civil.. you gotta at least hand that.. he's polite to visitors..he's a countryfolk..through and through.<br><br>SPIT.. he spits on the ground as soon as he's riding away... yep... country folk.

				Angie shook her head and watched as he raised himself back up on the horses.&nbsp; She kept her gaze on the ground and then cleared her throat. <br><br>He didn't understand.&nbsp; He never would.&nbsp; She didn't want to raise the horses but ensure that they were born and could be born with a lineage to someday run in the largest horse races and perhaps even help people perserve the memory of their favorite horse.&nbsp; <br><br>She walked up to the professor who was shaking his head already.&nbsp; <br><br>"I know hes unruly.&nbsp; I thank you for coming out.&nbsp; If you could just order the machinery and stuff that I will need, I'll set up the rest here.

"We both need help.. but I dun need no lab and no professeurs.. but then I'm just raisin' regular horses.. none of your fancy breedin'."&nbsp; He looks over at her over the dinner.. "I guess that's like us...

				Stefan looked up as the kiss broke at last.. feeling the hands on either side of her.&nbsp; His hands had come to rest around her waist.. holding her lightly as she looked down at him.. his lips still tingling.&nbsp; He could see the expressions on her face..and didn't want to let this moment slip into something more complex.<br><br>"Don't say anything Angie.." he whispered.. "No words.. "&nbsp; his hands tugged her back down..not to kiss..just to hold laying across his chest.

				The kick was just what was needed, and as Angie got the bottle, Stefan stumbled, falling as his pants slipped down his waist just enough to cause him to fall over drunkenly as Angie scrambles out of the room.<br><br>Stefan rolled about on the floor - abit like a fool - and finally just kicked off his pants, running down the hallway to burst through Angie's door..only wearing his underwear.. his shirt hanging open.. panting as he looked at Angie.<br><br>"Where did you hide it.." he said..looking about the room..then slowly stepping in.&nbsp; "You're not gonna win.. you ALWAYS win..and not this time.." refering to all the playfighting they did as kids.

				He continued.. rougher.. harder.. pulling on her hair..biting her..but not with anger.. but passion.. holding her down as his body clenched and thrust and almost quivered with his arrousal.<br><br>His cock slammed deep and hard into her.. all the way to the hilt..her legs held up and wide as he took her hungerly.

				She moaned with each pull of her hair and bite her body clenching around him in response to his cock slamming in and out of her.&nbsp; she gasped and her head tilted back and her back arched as his slammed into her causing her to orgasm.

"Mm...sounds good"<br><br>He pulls a blanket over them.. spooning close to her as they both drift off asleep.<br><br><br>Next morning..he wakes up.. Angie still in his arms.&nbsp; He sighs softly and just enjoys how she feels in his arms.. half awake half asleep

				Angie felt odd the next morning.&nbsp; Her head was pounding and her bed was a little more lumpy than usual.&nbsp; She opened her eyes, her vision blurry and then felt the arms around her.&nbsp; She felt him breathing and her eyes closed.&nbsp; She struggled to remember and could remember asking him but not what the answer had been.&nbsp; She groaned slightly and then placed the palm of her hand against her forehead.&nbsp; She always had to mess things up.<br><br>She sighed and then turned so that she faced him.&nbsp; "Good morning"

				Stefan stirs at that..lifting his arm as Angie shifted around to face him.&nbsp; His eyes open lazily and he gazes down at her.<br><br>"Good morning.." he reached up to brush fingers through her hair. "How do you feel?&nbsp; I bet your head is throbbing..Although it might be more from the headboard then the alcohol."&nbsp; he smiled..then gave an expression.. "Sorry.. that wasn't nice to say.. I'm still waking up."

I figured you'd be happiest with some fancy city fella.&nbsp; Except.. the only city fellas I see you with arn't worth spit."<br><br>He pauses.. "I wasn't following ya..well.. maybe in a way I was.. wasn't too many places you'd go..and I just was.. curious of what sortof man you liked.&nbsp; You know.. brotherly way.. and I was glad I was able to help yas out."

				She laid back and looked up at him waiting for him to finish. "I don't like the drinking because it often removes control.&nbsp; Its fine that you don't understand all of my ideas.&nbsp; I didn't like the city life.&nbsp; I like my degree, but I'm a country girl at heart. I find you to be very special to me.&nbsp; I came back because i missed you so much.&nbsp; I didn't want to lose the ranch, and because I wanted to see if something could make something of my attraction. "<br><br>She shook her head "I was hurt.&nbsp; I had my first major victory in a mare testing positive.&nbsp; It was my first real milestone and I didn't have anyone to tell.&nbsp; I drank to make it go away.&nbsp; I'm glad you were there to rescue me"

				He slips closer.. wrapping his arms around her.. and reaching up to stroke her head.&nbsp; "What do you mean.. a breakthrough?&nbsp; I don't get all this stuff.. can you explain it to me?"<br><br>He nestles in close.. his hands slowly wandering to caress over her as he listens to the explanation of the breeding.. stroking his hands over her body under the covers.&nbsp;
