~HUNTER'S POV~
Damn! I'm freezing my ass off waiting on that no good sheriff to walk out of his office. I hate peaceful towns
like Prosperity.
I haven't even seen his deputy either. I've heard tale that he's one long drink of water. Austin said he's off
limits, and that means Austin wants him for himself. Poor kid.
I smile as I watch the door to the jail open. I look down the barrel of my rifle aiming for the heart as the man
walks toward the saloon. I focus in on the face first. I kinda like to see who I'm killing.
NO!
It can't be!
Shit!
Kurt?
I drop my rifle as my I try to control my breathing. He's just as beautiful as ever. So Intense. So....Kurt.
Why is he here? He had a successful business back east. Why on God's green earth would he come out west?
Was he looking for me?
Austin wants me to kill him, but I can't shoot Kurt! Austin will kill me if I fail him. What am I gonna do?
~MARK'S POV~
I awaken as the first rays of sunlight shine through my window. I look over at Adam who is sleeping
comfortably and peacefully by my side. His beauty always takes my breath away.
I roll out of bed careful not to wake Adam. I stand and stretch. I don't think that I have ever felt his alive
before, even with that harlot ex-wife of mine, Sara. I must admit that when I first came to Prosperity I was
tracking her and that wife-stealing Dallas Page, but then I met Adam. Hell, if Page wants her, he can have
her. I've found someone a whole lot better.
I sniff the brisk morning air and smile as I smell Regal's coffee. I smile and quickly pull on my clothes. Coffee
sounds good to this old man. I lean down and kiss the top of Adam's head.
"I'll be right back darling," I whisper softly.
He smiles in his sleep as he rolls over and snuggles with my pillow.
Damn, he's so beautiful that I'm reluctant to leave him.
I pull myself away from him and close the door, careful not to awaken my sleeping beauty.
As I walk through the swinging doors of the saloon, I'm surprised to find Kurt, Torri, and Tajiri engaged in
conversation.
"Good morning Sunshine," Regal says smiling, in his usual annoying voice. He knows that I hate it when he
calls me that.
"Coffee," I growl.
"You really should try my tea....."
"Nothing touches these lips but coffee and whiskey," I growl, cutting him off.
"Really?" Torri asks smiling as she points to the corner of my mouth.
I lick at the spot she pointed at and blush. Yes, the old man can blush. Adam's taste fills my mouth.
Torri giggles as she waddles back over to Tajiri, her pregnant belly pushing out in front her. Tajiri smiles at
her as he pulls her into his lap. He's one lucky man to have a woman like Torri carrying his child. Yeah, she's
a saloon girl, but she's more honest than most of the women folk in this town.
I shrug my shoulders as I walk over to the corner table and slide into a chair waiting patiently for my coffee.
"Rough night?" Kurt asks smiling as he pulls up a chair and sits down at my table.
If I didn't know better, I would say that Kurt knows about Adam and me.
"Best night of my life," I reply proudly as I take the coffee from Regal, who murmurs something about
gunfighters.
I'll let it slide, because I'm in too good of a mood this morning.
Kurt lifts his eyebrow as he watches me take a sip of my coffee.
We both turn as the doors swing open again. I gasp as Adam enters wearing his new clothes.
Torri whistles in approval.
My heart stops as he strides toward me, but a smile slides across my face as I see how gingerly he is walking
this morning. I feel a sense of pride as I know that I'm the one who took his virginity, his innocence.
"Rough ride....I'm mean, rough night?" Torri asks giggling, while playing with a strand of her long blonde hair.
Tajiri joins her in the giggling as she whispers something into his ear.
I roll my eyes. Nothing more stupid than two people in love.
Adam grins and blushes as he sits down with Kurt and me. He winces in pain as his posterior makes contact
with the hard ungiving wood of the chair.
"Sore?" Kurt asks grinning.
Torri laughs out loud.
Regal frowns as he tries to figure out what is so bloody funny.
Adam frowns as he looks at me. He must think that I told them about last night. I might be old and
borderline senile, but I'm not stupid.
I shake my head, silently telling him no.
He sighs in relief. However, I know that we're not fooling Torri or Kurt.
Kurt excuses himself as he heads out of the saloon, stopping to remind Adam that they have to be careful
that the Alliance was reported to be in this area.
Adam nods.
Well if the Alliance tries to harm my Adam, they're in for the fight of their miserable life.
I want to reach over and kiss Adam, but restrain myself. Not in public.
Adam mouthed the words, "I love you."
"Not as much as I love you," I whispered.
He blushes a beautiful shade of red and shifts uncomfortably in his chair.
Torri and Tajiri sighed happily as they watched us. Torri jumped as the baby inside of her started to kick.
She pressed Tajiri's hand to the spot where the baby was kicking. I watched in amusement as Tajiri's eyes lit
up in delight as he felt his child move.
Most people would look at Torri and call her a whore, but to my knowledge, she has only taken Tajiri to her
bed. Regal is not like most saloon owners. The girls that work for him only serve drinks, nothing else, unless
it's their choosing. Part of me has to admire the guy and the girls that work for him.
I look over at Adam and he's watching Torri intently. His expression is unreadable. Is that sadness that I
see?
~KURT'S POV~
I step outside of the saloon doors and smile as I look at my peaceful town. I had wanted to tell Mark that I
had heard him and Adam last night, but decided against it. I know that Mark will protect Adam with his life
and I have a feeling Adam will need that protection when the Alliance gets here.
I shiver. I can't shake the feeling that I'm being watched. You know when the hairs on the back of your neck
stands up and screams danger.
Watching Adam and Mark together reminded me of Hunter and me.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Damn. Why can't I forget about him? He used me and tossed me away like a piece
of trash. I should hate him, want to kill kill him, but I don't. I crave his touch, the feel of his body as we
become one.
I sold everything that I owned and came out west in search of him. To try to reason with him. Beg him to
take me back.
What am I talking about? He's probably dead by now. Even if he isn't, he wouldn't want me.
I shake my head. I have to let him go. His memory is killing me.
~AUSTIN'S POV~
I wake up slowly. Let's just say that I'm not exactly a morning person. I look down at Rob and he's curled up
next to me.
I reach around and slap his ass hard. Smiling as he jumps in surprise.
"Get me some coffee," I growl.
He looks at me disgusted and I slap him again. He yelps in pain as he rubs his eyes.
"Now," I growl.
He crawls out from under the blanket, shivering as he pulls on his clothes. I lay on my back as I watch him
dress. I have to admit that the boy has got a nice ass, and it belongs to me.
He disappears out of the tent on a mission to find me some coffee. I quickly pull on my clothes and head
toward Jason's tent.
Don't want the little bitch to think that I've forgotten about him. Today is gonna be a big day, for I plan on
taking the tall blond deputy and making him mine, too. He'll make a perfect brother for Jason and a good
bitch for me.
I've read about men who have harems of beautiful women. I'm planning on having one filled with beautiful
men.
~GLENN'S POV~
I wake up first and gently nudge Sean. He moans and rolls over. I grin. He hates mornings.
"Sean," I whisper as my fingers trail down his side eliciting a shiver from him.
I know he's trying to ignore me, but I can see the faint smile forming on his face.
He wore himself out last night, poor darling. He loves getting astraddle of me and riding me. To tell you the
truth, I'm scared when he's on the bottom. He's so much smaller than me, that I'm afraid that I'll hurt him
accidentally. Sean says he likes the way that my huge cock fills him. Hell, he loves everything about me.
I feel the same about him. I've never met such a loving man. I just hope that Mark will accept him into our
family.
As much as I want my brother back, I won't ever give Sean up.
