chips and drummed his fingers and finally met the raise. âLetâs see what youâve got.â
Fargo laid out the straight.
âSon of a bitch.â Leroy threw down his cards, stood up, and stomped off in a huff.
âCan we go now?â Fanny asked as Fargo raked in his winnings.
âI am all yours.â
It was a cool night and a lot of people were out and about. Two men were having a tobacco-spitting contest in defiance of the new town ordinance. A friend of Fannyâs was strolling about with a gentleman in a suit.
âI sure do like it here,â Fanny declared, her arm linked in his.
Fargo patted his bulging poke. âIâm right fond of it myself.â
âAre you still planning to go after Brain Eater tomorrow?â
âWhy even ask?â Fargo rejoined.
She looked into his eyes and kissed him on the cheek. âBe careful, you hear? I wonât sleep a wink until you get back.â
Fargo did her the courtesy of pretending to believe her. Patting her bottom, he said, âNeither will I.â
They turned into the side street to her lodgings. There were few lights. Fargo was about to nuzzle her ear when some of the shadows moved. He was expecting them to and had the Colt in his hand before the first shadow reached him.
âIâve got you now!â
Fargo slammed the barrel against Leroyâs ear and the farmer folded like so much limp wash. He pointed it at Leroyâs friends, who stopped cold at the click of the hammer.
âDonât shoot!â one blurted.
Fargo nudged Leroy with a toe. âGet this sack of pus out of here.â
âYes, sir. Whatever you say.â
They bent to grab him.
âAnd tell Leroy that if thereâs a next time, I wonât go easy.â
Fargo didnât holster the Colt until they were dim in the distance. He chuckled and twirled it and slid it in with a flourish.
âYou handle yourself real well,â Fanny complimented him.
Fargo sculpted her bottom with his hand. âYou havenât seen anything yet.â
Other than a chemise that had been tossed over her table, her room was the same. Fargo kicked the door shut and pulled her to him and their two mouths became one. She sucked on his tongue while kneading his muscles and grinding her lower mount against him.
âIâve been dreaming of this all day,â she husked into his ear.
Fargo had done some dreaming himself. He swept her onto the bed and went through the ritual of undressing her. The dress didnât have as many buttons as the last one. Soon she was gloriously naked and reaching for him with open arms.
Fargo melted into her. Her lips were red-hot coals, her legs were silken clamps. He caressed her breasts and pulled on her nipples and she wriggled and cooed and told him to do it harder. She was wet down below. He knelt and slid the tip of his member along her slit and she shivered and dug her fingernails into his shoulders.
âYessss. Keep doing that.â
Fargo was glad to accommodate her. He teased and stroked until she suddenly grabbed his pole and hungrily fed him into her, groaning louder with every inch he penetrated. When he was all the way she lay still, her eyes closed, her forehead on his chest.
âI love this.â
So did Fargo.
âWhen you get back, look me up. You can have me every night weâre here.â
âMaybe I will,â Fargo said. So long as she didnât make more of it than there was.
Fanny began to move her bottom. âYouâre the best Iâve had and Iâve had a lot.â
Fargo kissed her to shut her up. The bed creaked under them in rising tempo as their two bodies merged and pumped.
It promised to be a spell before he could treat himself again so he took his sweet time. They were both panting and slick with sweat when Fanny arched her back and her eyes grew wide with the ecstasy of climax. She gushed, humping against him violently.
Fargo wasnât
