Oneshots - Kayce Dutton

A little TLC

Request - Hey so can you right a story in the one shot book it goes like this so Kayce had just got back from working on the ranch with his dad and the wranglers and the reader is still at home (there married)anyways but Kayce comes back home and she is laying on the bed reading a book her and Kayce talk for a minute it can be about anything you want but anyways Kayce goes to take a shower and he comes out with just black boxers on and he lays in the bed with the reader and Kayce had a bad day so they just cuddle a lot but thank you

You heard the front door open and shut, Kayce's boots thumping against the floor. Looking up from where you were reading in bed, you saw Kayce walk into the bedroom.

Kayce had been out with his father and the wranglers for the past few days, tending to the cattle out in multiple pastures and dealing with Livestock Commissioner things. You knew he was tired three days ago, but right now he looked exhausted.

"Hey..." You sat your book on your chest as Kayce walked over to the closet.

He didn't really answer you, more like grunted while he took his boots off. You raised an eyebrow as he walked over and place his hat on the top dresser.

"Rough day?" You tried again.

"Yeah," Kayce sighed.

You watched him walk over to the bathroom sliding door and open it up.

"You wanna talk about it?" You asked him.

"Nothing to talk about," Kayce glanced back at you.

"Your eyes say different," You shot him a pointed look.

"Can I..." Kayce leaned his head down for a few seconds before looking back up at you. "Can I just..."

"Have a moment?" You finished for him.

Kayce was looking at you like he was thankful you understood his mind right now.

"Sure," You nodded. "Clean yourself from this day and then come back out to me."

You watched Kayce walk into the bathroom and heard the shower start a few minutes later. For a little bit you wondered if you needed to make him something to eat but knowing John...the father probably made his son eat with him. You weren't sure what all was going on but if you were a betting woman, you'd bet John Dutton started it.

A little bit later you heard the shower shut off and then about five minutes later you saw the light shut off and Kayce walk back into the bedroom with a towel around his waist.

He dropped his dirty clothes in the hamper before pulling on a pair of black boxers. Your eyes then followed him back into the bathroom quickly to hang up his towel. Kayce walked over to his side of the bed and looked down at you.

"Why are you on my side?" He asked.

"Cause when you're late it keeps me calm," You said honestly.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I can smell you," You shrugged. "It keeps me calm."

Kayce just nodded. You looked up at him with a small smile.

"You wanna join me?" You tossed your book to your side and scooted up on the pillows.

Kayce sighed, kneeling one knee on the other side of you before he fitted himself over you, his head on your chest as his body aligned with yours. Your ankles tangled together as one arm wrapped around his back while your other hand ran your fingers through his hair.

"Dad almost got us killed today," Kayce said after a few minutes.

You pressed a kiss to his forehead, knowing if you opened your mouth you'd start yelling.

"Then he made Rip do something stupid,' Kayce sighed. "I had to use my badge to get us all out of trouble."

"I'm glad you were there then," You whispered.

Kayce pressed a kiss against your chest where your shirt dipped low. Your fingers in his hair tightened briefly at his actions.

Kayce's lips moved up to your neck and then down your collarbone until he hit your shirt again. He then laid his head against your shoulder, looking up at you.

"What can I do to help?" You asked him.

"You're doing it," Kayce mumbled.

"What do you mean?" You brushed his hair back from his forehead.

"This..." Kayce pulled your body closer to his. "Loving me."

"You are loved," You giggled.

"I feel loved," Kayce leaned up and kissed your lips.

The two of your shared a pillow now, your arms wrapped around each other.

"How was your day?" Kayce asked.

"Not as tiring as yours it seems," You pointed out. 'It was okay, had better but had worst."

"What happened?" Kayce's hands rubbed your back soothingly.

"I just worry," You shrugged. "About this ranch, your family...you."

"Sorry," Kayce frowned.

"Don't be," You shook your head, your hands coming up to cup his cheeks. "It's my job."

"You have more important jobs than worrying about me," Kayce smirked.

"Oh yeah?" You asked. "Like what?"

"Like loving on me," Kayce rolled you on top of him, your giggles bouncing off the walls. 

"I did promise you, for better or for worse," You smiled down at Kayce. 

"And you thought I just wanted you to take my last name only," Kayce wiggled his eyebrows at you. 

You leaned down and kissed him, his lips soft from his shower earlier. You felt Kayce's hand travel up and down your back as he deepened the kiss, putting a little more effort into getting his frustrations out. 

"Damn," You mumbled against his lips. "Do I like being a Dutton."
