were out on a Sunday walk in the park.
With as much gentleness as Storm could manage, he walked her
along the boardwalk until they got to the hotel where Storm opened
the door for her. He noticed her looking around at everything and
realized being from the east she might find everything a bit unusual.
It must be a lot different than Boston.
She smiled up at him. It is, but that doesn t mean Boston is
better.
What a nice thing to say, Storm thought. It couldn t be that
you re a nice person, could it?
She laughed. I ve been accused of worse things.
Saul tells me you were engaged.
She reached up and touched his lips with a soft, fragrant finger.
Tut, tut. Questions later. Remember?
If Storm didn t know better, he d think those were definitely the
words and actions of a flirt, but if she was a flirt, she was an Eastern
flirt, and that was entirely different. Her flirting was not flamboyant,
but contained. He could see her dressed in her finest, flirting with the
men in a drawing room. Men dressed in lace shirts and using hankies.

Men that didn t want to dirty themselves up with sex. It s all she
knew, and no matter how far west she came, she would always bring
those drawing room manners with her.
This is where the east meets the west, he thought and began to
wonder what kind of explosion it would make.
When they reached the desk, Storm slapped the bell down, and an
older man dressed in the clothes of a banker stepped out of the back
room. Hello, Storm. He cut his gaze toward the young woman and
then back up at Storm. Need a room? he said with a wink.
Storm reached out and grabbed the man s collar and brutally
jerked him forward. Look, you weasel, this here s a lady, got that?
Now, apologize.
I didn t&
Apologize!
The clerk looked at Sable and said, I& I apologize&
For actin like a horse s butt! Storm continued for him. When
the man was silent, Storm shook him and said, Say it!
& f for actin like a h horse s b butt.
Storm released him. That s better. Just so you know, this is a
lady. Her name is Sable Denis, and I won t stand for her bein treated
like a tramp, got it?
Y Yes, s sir.
Storm grabbed one of the keys and said, We ll take this one.
He turned to Sable and took a deep breath. Sorry for that. He
put his hand on the small of her back and led her up the steps to her
room. I know these rooms. This one is particularly light and airy. I
think you ll be very comfortable there.
As soon as she got in the room, she turned to him, slid her hands
up his muscled chest and around his neck. With her hands on the back
of his head, she pulled him down to her, opened her mouth, and
kissed him. That s for defending my honor, she whispered.
Storm was filled with need but this was an Eastern woman, and
he was a man s man. His idea of sex was a cowboy s ass, their cocks

pressed together and a night of romping, drinking, and swearing.
What was he doing here with this woman and worst of all, why was
he feeling as if he d like to fuck the hell out of her?
Actually, I can go either way.
& sometimes a good, sweet-smellin pussy is& well, there s just
nothin like it.
He remembered his conversation with Curt. It meant that Curt
could get just as much pleasure from fucking a woman as he could a
man. Curt called it bisexual. Is that what he was bisexual? He
looked down at the dimpled beauty and knew for sure that he must be.
With that thought resting in his brain, he leaned his head down and
covered her lips hungrily with his. He d never tasted anything so
sweet, so soft, and so flavorful. The pleasing fragrance that lifted on
the wind came from her, and it made him want to eat her up. He
wanted to lick her skin, kiss those soft lips, and spend his life
protecting her.
A red flag went up in his mind.
Danger!
He quickly pulled himself away and said, I guess I d better
leave.
She looked at him strangely. Why?
Look, he began. This can get sticky. I m a little confused right
now and need time to think.
But I thought we were going to discuss the reason you brought
me out here. You haven t changed your mind, have you? She looked
hurt. What did I do? Was it the kiss? I m sorry if I offended you.
It hurt Storm to see her sad, and he knew the problem wasn t her,
it was him. He was getting in way over his head. This was supposed
to be strictly a business deal, and they were, or could get, way too
close. He liked the kiss, he liked her, and he liked the thought of
fucking the hell out of her. I m sorry. It s just& well, you bein a
lady and all.

Storm, I am a lady& to them out there, she said as she indicated
toward the window. But for you& at this moment& I want to be a
woman.
A w woman?
A very warm and loving woman.
But Miss Denis
Storm, call me Sable.
Sable, he whispered, and the two of them just kind of drifted
into each other s arms.

Chapter Eight
A rustling of clothes, the silent falling of material to the floor, and
suddenly, his body was hard against hers. The room was small and
full of heavy breathing. Was it all leading to a foolish act? Should she
let this continue or put a stop to it? For the first time in her life she felt
like a woman as she enjoyed the fresh smell of the west that was all
over him. He had a wild taste, a taste that made the dust of the trail as
appealing to her as the most expensive men s cologne. When she
