THE HEART IS THE LONELIEST DUDE RANCH

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 9: The Hot Hills of Desperation

The thunder rolled in the heavens like two lover clouds making angry love-sex. The rain droplets were steady and cold on her fever hot bosom.  If you spied her bosom through the downpour, you would say it was ‘heaving’.  Some bosoms did regular ups and downs, but never Vanessa Lonelyheart’s.  Hers was heave only.

Especially around a law hunk like this Federal Marshall.  Johnny Law’s sun blond hair all rain slicked around his Hollywood shaped skull.  His eyes like two aquamarine lasers gooing up her heart.  His lips like two segments of grapefruit she wanted to squeeze dry.  His jean clad butt like two volleyballs shoved into…

No, Vanessa! You’re not out on Desperation Hills looking for love.  You’re looking for signs of Dexter McChest, the ex-Scottish Prince turned cowboy you turned into Immigration. 

They were here to make sure he was not dead or worse, remarried.  He was hiding out in the hills and she was sure her love radar would lead them right to him.  She didn’t have any other plan but to see him. More like absorb him.  Make amends. If possible, sexually.  Then they would get married and take back his Scottish throne.  She was sure she could find some good old boys who wouldn’t mind invading England.

Johnny spoke up, “If he resists, I may have to shoot him. You’ll want to look away.  I always aim for the face.”

“I understand,” Vanessa barely breathed out.  What was she thinking?  The lawman wasn’t going to just let him go.  And Dexter wouldn’t just let himself be taken.  It would be a shoot-out.  And one or two beautiful men might have to die in her arms.  She’d been so set on finding him, she’d hadn’t considered the gnarly end.

Vanessa made a sexy decision. “Marshall, I’m freezing.  There’s a natural cave over there.  Could we just warm our bodies a bit?”

Johnny nodded his man-nod and led their horses to the cave.  Vanessa knew what she must do.  She must sacrifice her body for her man.  She must sleep with one gorgeous hunk monster to save her strapping hottie with a body.  Oh, the agony of her life.  The sexy conundrums she found herself in.

As she sat down on the cold cave floor, neither she nor Johnny Law noticed the eyes watching them from deep inside the cavern.  It’s most likely, 80 percent probably, a bear.
