Chapter Twenty-One
Catherine s hands and lips said I love you, but her eyes withheld what he d hoped
to see. Her gaze shifted away and her cheeks flushed. He no longer doubted she cared for
him or was physically attracted to him, but she didn t love him. Not the same way he
loved her unconditionally. If she did, he d have seen it in her eyes.
But that was to be expected, Jim told himself as he turned the horses out into the
paddock. She had everything to lose by loving him while he could only gain by it. All the
more reason he must keep working for Karak, no matter what he suspected about the
man. It was the quickest way he could earn real money, and money meant power. Money
made people respectable. Even a man like Jim, who apparently had nothing to offer,
might win the woman of his dreams if he had decent financial prospects.
Assuming Karak didn t fire him for getting his men tossed in jail again.
Resting his folded arms on the top bar of the corral fence, he watched Lady frisk
around like she was a colt again. Her sore leg seemed completely healed.
Jim let his eyes close and relived every second of this earth-shaking morning. It
almost seemed like a dream that would drift away when he woke completely. If he didn t
commit each detail to memory, the experience might be lost forever. Catherine had come
to him, willingly, completely, intending to have sex with him. It had been a choice on her
part instead of him pushing to go beyond a few kisses, which made their union all the
sweeter. How wonderful it had felt, kissing her, holding her, tasting her essence. He had
Shirley Mae to thank for the tip about using his mouth to stimulate a woman s pussy.
One evening while working at the Crystal, after the picnic when Catherine had let
him fondle her breasts, he d pulled Shirley aside and asked her what women liked during
sex. Of course, the questioning hadn t been that easy. He d had to work hard to get his
point across with plenty of acting and hand movements, but eventually light had dawned
in her eyes and Shirley s mouth had formed an oh of understanding. She d pointed at
her crotch, made a slit of her two fingers and wiggled her tongue in between them while
winking at him. At the time, Jim hadn t been able to imagine putting his mouth down
there, but when he d been with Catherine this morning it had seemed the most natural
thing in the world. When she shook with her peak, her fingers clutching the blanket on
either side of her, breasts thrusting into the air as her body arched, he knew Shirley had
definitely given him good advice.
Entering Catherine s depths had been the best thing he d ever felt. Her slippery
channel was so tight and hot, it felt as though it would melt his cock. Just remembering
the feeling of thrusting brought on another erection. Jim rested his forehead on his
crossed arms and reveled in the memory. Images flashed through his mind; her face
drawn in ecstasy, the plump folds of her sex, his cock swallowed by her pussy, her wide,
trusting eyes gazing into his, her laughing mouth when the kitten had attacked. The smell
of her sex mingled with a faint trace of lilacs and the sweet scent of hay was a perfume
he d never forget. And the taste of her&
Jim felt someone approaching, a subtle change in the air, a tremor underfoot that
brought him from his erotic reverie. He turned to see one of the men from Karak s mill
walking toward him. Jim scanned him for weapons or an aggressive posture, but the man
held up his palms. He pointed at Jim and beckoned with a wave of his hand. You. Come.
Karak has a job for you. Work. Get it?
Jim checked to make sure the paddock gate was fastened and followed the man from
the yard. His thoughts raced and his senses were keen as he walked across town toward
the mill. He glanced at his companion, a stocky man with biceps like hams and a blue
shadow of stubble on his jaw. The man s attitude wasn t threatening, but what was he
leading Jim to? Did Karak really have a job for him or was he angry about the previous
night s fight? If so, it might not be a simple matter of being fired. Jim knowing about
Karak s special train shipments put him in a dangerous position.
