fully aroused. While Caroline lay back and hiked her skirt up to her navel, Fargo struggled with the cords. Only with a massive final effort did he work them over his hips enough to free his straining length.
The moon wash was generous, and the slack-jawed woman stared at his raging manhood. âSakes and saints! That lovely thing needs its own cage!â
âI agree,â Fargo said, rolling on top of her and settling into the saddle. âLetâs put him in one right now.â
Fargo probed the pulsating dome in between the soft petals guarding her portal and shoved half his length into her tight, slick velvet tunnel. She shuddered and raised both legs, locking her ankles behind the small of his back.
âI feel filled up already,â she gasped, âbut pour the rest to me!â
Fargo flexed his buttocks and drove in her to the hilt, then began powering in and out like a steam drill, driving her to gasps and incoherent mutterings. It felt like ants biting his back as her fingernails dug into him, and soon the vigor of their coupling was moving both of them through the grass.
âOh, Lord, Frank!â she cried out, âIâm gonna ex . . . plode !â
This horny lass didnât just come, she arrived . As she thrashed and groaned beneath him Fargo could hold back the floodgates no longer. In thrust after thrust he spent himself, collapsing on her like a rag doll.
For a full minute their muscles felt like jelly and their breathing was ragged and uneven.
âMy stars,â she finally whispered. âA man like you could make a gal an old maid for life.â
âHow so?â he replied, grimacing as he tried to get his âRomeo tightsâ back over his hips.
âWell, a stud as good as you ainât the marrying kind. But once a womanâs had it with a man like you, she ainât likely to settle for these sixty-second wonders.â
Fargo was about to reply when he heard a boot scuff somewhere in the darkness beyond the hawthorn bushes.
âGet dressed quick,â he whispered in her ear, âthen hie on back to your camp. We might have trouble here.â
âCan I come see you tomorrow night?â she whispered back.
âSure,â he replied, doubting very much that heâd be here tomorrow night.
Fargo buckled on his gun belt while she fastened her bodice and disappeared along the creek. He crept forward, Colt in hand, stepping carefully. Before long he spotted a shadow dead ahead. The intruder seemed to be intently watching Old Billy as the latter sliced salt pork into a frying pan.
âSeen enough?â Fargo said behind him.
The man whirled with surprising agility, a gun muzzle spitting red orange flame. Fargo snapped off a return shot, and the man went crashing through the brush toward the mouth of Echo Canyon. But Fargo had carelessly forgotten something about Old Billy: The Indian fighter had survived all these decades through lightning-fast reflexesâand after dark he always broke out the heavy artillery.
âJim!â Fargo shouted. âDonâtâ!â
But it was too late. Fargo dropped onto his face as if heâd been pole-axed just as the big Greener roared out, splitting the silence of the canyon.

Leaves and small branches were stripped just above Fargo as the load of lethal buckshot blew a tunnel through the foliage.
âCease fire, you crazy son of a bitch!â Fargo boomed out. âItâs me, Scully. The other shooter hightailed it.â
âWell, Godâs blood, FarâFrank. Where you been? Bust your leg in a badger hole? At least pretend you got more brains than a rabbit. You know better than to approach an Indian fighterâs camp at night without giving the hail.â
Fargo broke into the circle of firelight, brushing himself off. âI didnât have time. Whoever was spying on you opened up on me.â
Old Billy grunted. âMost likely bedroll killers looking to
