suction, she released him and climbed on top.
Big dick. Spotted Cloud loves white woman.
She smiled. A young man, Cloud probably
thought he loved every woman he found in his
arms. She slid up and down, riding his penis at a
leisurely pace. She fingered her nipples and his

timed thrusts immediately changed. He grabbed
her hips, and pushed inside her grunting as he
tried to capture the start of his release. His long
dark hair wrapped around his biceps and she
planted her palms on his hard stomach, marveling
in the way he rippled under her touch.
Looking at her breasts, his eyes misted over. He
opened his mouth to say something, but
frustration took him. Infuriated that he couldn t
find the words, he motioned for her to lean
forward. She inched closer, dropping her nipple to
his lips and he showered her with soft adoration, a
careful tongue and a hand designed for holding a
woman s plump, full breast.
Pumping into her, he cried out aloud. White
woman and Spotted Cloud.
She wished they could talk. Oh God, she
wished she could just express herself and have
him advise her. She imagined they had this great
connection and she wondered how deeply they d
feel it if only they could communicate better.
Cloud lapped at her breasts. His smile widened
and he hummed softly, a tune she d never heard
before, but one that sounded similar to a lover s
melody. She continued to enjoy him, her legs
gripped his sides and she rolled her hips forward
and then back before drawing her knees up and
sitting on him with a more erect spine.
Cloud, harder, she muttered, realizing it

wouldn t matter. His gait never changed, but hers
did. As the climax took her, the wind brought
with it a strange and yet familiar feeling. Preston
was out there watching. She quickly looked
toward the window, but she didn t see him. She
didn t have to. She sensed him. He was there.

Rose expected him and he showed up right on
time. He took the steps three at a time and she
heard the distinct sound of his pronounced walk.
The man had a way of strutting like a mad
cowboy when Carly boiled his blood.
Come on in, Preston, she called out, running
a heavy brush through her hair.
She s whoring herself out to Indians, he
exclaimed, marching inside her room and flopping
down on the old settee he d taken a seat on many
times before.
She s an entrepreneur. She can take any man
she wants to her bed or to her barn for that matter,
which looks like where you ve been, by the way.
Rose noted the excessive dust on his breeches. It s
her business, Preston. By the way, she drawled.
How is the new Mrs. Preston Evans this
morning? Did she sleep well last night?
Preston glared back at her. She s taking more
than one man at a time.

Double the trouble, double the fun and triple
the profit, Preston. We all wish we could do the
same here, but you know, it s sort of inappropriate
in a high class joint such as this saloon.
You knew?
Rose turned around and looked at a few
accessories on her dressing table. She chose a
small pendant, a gift from a client she used to see
years ago. She pinned it on her dress right before
Preston yanked her by the hair and held her tight
against his middle. Don t you fuck with me,
Rose. We re friends, but after what I saw out at
Carly s place, we might as well become enemies if
you had anything to do with the reasons she chose
to sleep with men she doesn t know.
Rose glared at the man in the mirror. You
really have no idea why Carly is whoring, do
you?
I imagine you told her it was a good way to
earn a living.
Rose cleared her throat. It s a good way to
forget a man worth forgetting. I should know,
she choked out before wiggling free of his hand.
Preston caught her. He flipped his wrist and
wheeled her around to face him. Rose, please.
Tell me what I can do to change this.
Rose laughed. Sugar, I ll tell you what I told
her. When you love someone, you don t always
select the better person to love. You don t have a
60

choice when you fall in love and you don t choose
how many times you get up again when the
person you fall for breaks your heart. Sometimes,
you have to let love alone, let it have its own way.
Those folks who are meant to be together always
find their way back when the time is right. But
you have to prepare yourself, too, Preston.
Sometimes when lovers let you down, you can t
get back up again and fight for the love you once
had. Your body grows tired, your mind becomes
weak. There are lots of folks who share in a great
love, only to lose it because they never could love
hard together, you know at the same moment.
The time is right for me and Carly, he
growled.
No, Preston. You have a woman pregnant
with your child. Timing is not your friend.
Rose walked across the room and opened the
door. She looked out in the hallway like she
expected to find someone waiting there. Then she
closed the door again. Why now, Preston?
I ve always loved her.
Then you shouldn t have come back here with
a woman pregnant with your child.
Carly lives on one side of Stockton and I live
on the other. She won t have to see Laura, but she
can still be my&
Your what? Rose narrowed her gaze. Your
whore?

Yes, he said softly. That s what she is now
and she can be mine, just mine.
Rose studied him and then said, And what a
reward that would be, huh? You gave her your
name for God s sake. You gave her hope and
convinced her to love you and for what? To walk
