Joe Ray’s Story

45

“Next week we’ll take the weaned calves to sale and everyone will have one hell of a payday,” Zander added. “Keep your fingers crossed that the market stays where it is or gets better.”

Markus passed the platter of fried chicken down. “It has been a damn good year for beef. I heard prices hit a dollar fifty a pound last week. Add that shit up. Whew, boys, we’ll be shitting in tall cotton.”

Jesse laughed and shook his head. The guy was quiet, a little on the shy side, and the center of affection of two men, one of which couldn’t seem to let go. Thomas flipped a helping of mashed potatoes on his plate and snorted sarcastically. What a turd in a punch bowl, Joe Ray thought, and forced himself to keep his mouth shut.

Zander didn’t miss the disdain Thomas projected, not only toward Warren and Jesse, but the group as a whole. He stared with disappointment for a moment before letting it go and filling his plate.

Zander struck Joe Ray as one hell of a leader. He could be tough when need be and knew when to speak out. He also knew when to just let a situation ride and not aggravate one any further. Dean glanced over at Zander and it seemed they had an ability to communicate without speaking. How Joe Ray would love to know what was going on in their minds.

“Corn?” Christian handed the bowl to Joe Ray with a cute grin on his face.

Joe Ray’s stomach growled and Christian chuckled.

Thomas threw down his napkin on his plate and his nostrils flared with irritation. “I’ve had enough of this shit.” He shoved his chair back with a loud screech and stood up.

All the men stared with mouths gaped open wide.

“Let me guess,” Thomas began with his hands on his hips. “The newest member of the ranch is this piece of shit since Christian is fucking him. Y’all know who he is, don’t you?” he asked and looked around the table. “Timothy Mullins is his father, the biggest fucking cattle rustler around. A thief!”

John quietly stood up. “Thomas, sit the fuck down.”
