Kayce starts crushing on the new live stock agent that comes to check out the Dutton's ranch. Him and Monica got a divorce, so Tate lives on the ranch.
Inspired by a Keith Urban song, "Somebody Like You"
Closing my car door and securing my live stock vest on my chest I head for the barn. The sheriff said I needed to get a sense of the biggest ranch in town, the Dutton's. Stepping into the open barn door I see most of it empty except for one man petting a black horse inside its stable. The man has light brown hair that goes to his shoulders, wearing a dark tan jacket with blue jeans and a black dusty cowboy hat. "Excuse me, are you John Dutton?" The man turned his head at my voice allowing me to see light brown eyes staring back at me. "No ma'am I'm not. But I'm his son, Kayce. What business do you have with him?" He walks up sticking out his hand which I gladly shake. "I'm Y/n, nice to meet you Kayce. I'm here to inspect your land to make sure everything is in order."
"Can you ride a horse, Y/n?" He suddenly asked heading over to another horse stable clicking his tongue so a light tan horse comes forward. "I have once. When I was 13 years old, why?" He unlocked the pen pulling the horse out of it's pen, securing a saddle on it. He holds out a open palm telling me. "Climb on. I think you should get a private tour. My dad is busy and the cowboys of the Bunkhouse are off working." Placing my hand in his larger one I swing one leg over the other side, gently sitting my butt on the saddle.
Titling my head with a smile I ask. "Like this, Kayce?" Directing to my left hand barely holding the reigns. He holds up a finger grabbing a light brown hat off a wall hook, gently sitting it on my head. "Now you're ready. Follow me." He climbed on his horse clicking his tongue again so my horse followed his. Our horses gallop through the fields the soft breeze blowing through my loose locks until we reach a clearing with a heard of cattle over a hill. A group of people are hurdling them to the other side of the field. "Those the cowboys?" I pointed to the group.
"Yep that's them. We've pretty much got a good system-" Kayce gets cut off by a child's voice. "Dad!" Whipping my head in his direction I see a young boy with hair that looks similar color to his jump into his arms once he dismounted his horse. "Dad! Did you see, did you see me hurd cattle with grandpa!" He's got a kid. I lightly blush with the realization that I did find him attractive. But my heart sank knowing he's probably married. "Yeah buddy I did."
He sets his son on his feet, resting a hand on his shoulder he introduces us. "Tate, I'd like you to meet Y/n. Y/n, this is my son Tate." The young boy rushing to hug me excitedly. I groan at the sudden impact. "Easy Tate." His father warns but I chuckle hugging him back. "He's fine Kayce.." A smile meets my lips unknown to me Kayce's heart started beating quickly with his cheeks turning a light red. The young Dutton was suprised at himself. God she's beautiful, he thought to himself.
You're smile was precious to him. Seeing the interaction between you and Tate as you play with him for a few minutes in the fields warms his heart. Ever since him and Monica split he's been lonely wanting someone to love by his side, someone to help love his son as much as he does. "Hey Y/n can I ride with you?" Tate asked sweetly as I swing my leg over the saddle eyeing Kayce and when we locked gazes I blushed. "Sure - uh Tate..." I help him climb on sitting in front of me on the saddle. "Dad, you like her don't you?" He blurts out in question making his father almost fall off his horse.
"What - uh no son - let's um head back." Tate shakes his head seeing a redness in his face. "Why are you turning red like a tomato?" Running a hand through my hair I stutter out even though the question isn't directed at me. "Tate leave your father alone. He's just being nice, not crushing on me at all." Tate turned on the horse saddle grinning from ear to ear. "You like my dad. You like my dad!" He cheered all the way back to the fenced area where Kayce ties the horses up for a few seconds. "Alright little man how about you go get ready for dinner." His dad picks him up shooing him towards the house. Tate hollers from the porch. "Ask her to stay for dinner!"
Tilting my hat down over my face I attempt to hide my burning red cheeks. That kid can see right through me. "Huh I'm sorry about him. He's well..." Kayce trails off removing his hat to run his fingers through his curly locks, turning to face me after sitting the hat on the saddle. "He's a smart kid, like his mom-" I cut him off slightly tipping my hat upwards to look into his soft eyes. "You can it in his eyes. But his father's smart too." Kayce blushes at my complement slowly walking forward cupping my face in his hands.
"Y/n, would it be wrong if I kissed you?" His voice in low draw as my cheeks turned red again. We've only just met. Is it wrong if I go for it and kiss him. My eyes lock onto his sucking in a breath I lean forward a little whispering. "Only if you don't kiss back." I pull his lips down to mine by grabbing the collar of his jacket. He does in fact kiss back and I feel his arms go around my waist deepening it. I've had boyfriends before but none of them compare to this cowboy. My arms go to his hand gently running my fingers through it until we break for air.
He rests his forehead onto mine feeling our hot breath mixing together with huge grins on our faces. "I guess Tate knows what he's doing after all, huh Kayce." He chuckled planting a kiss to my forehead going to put the horses inside the barn. "Yeah I guess so. Uh Y/n - would you wanna stay for dinner?" I followed him to the barn smiling. "Sure. Only you owe me a proper date." Kayce puts the horses in the pens still grinning when I toss him his black dusty hat. "Anything you want darlin'. Let's just hope Tate doesn't start calling you mom so soon." A giggle escapes my lips while we walked to the porch happily.
