He grinned and said, “Yeah, ain’t that a bitch?” as he picked her up and carried her into the bedroom, observing, “We could wrestle on that damn horsehair some more, but it ain’t civilized, and all these fool clothes are in the way.”
“What are you doing!” she exclaimed, even as she helped him with the hooks and eyes while he was undressing her. He gently stripped her to her shift and high-button shoes as she half-struggled, half-cooperated on the mattress. Then he popped a few buttons of his own, got most of his duds out of the way, and was mounting her. She sobbed, “Oh, I never should have told you about my past!” as she wrapped her thighs around him and gripped his naked buttocks with her leather-clad ankles. He moved them into a better position and started thrusting harder as she rolled her head from side to side and gasped, “Oh, this is terrible! What must you think of me?”
“I think you’re more wondrous than an army in its banners. You want me to take it out?”
“You do and I’ll kill you! I think I’m … oh, Jesus! I know I’m coming!”
Later, after they’d taken time to catch their breath and get rid of all the remaining clothing, Prudence held him in her arms, nibbling on one ear, as she purred, “Will you take me with you to Denver, darling?”
He said, “I’ll take you to the moon if you want, but maybe I should have explained a few things.”
She placed a finger to his lips. “Hush, don’t spoil this moment, darling. I know you’re not the marrying kind.” She chuckled and added, “As a matter of fact, I’m not sure I am, either. Not for a while, at least. There’s so much of life I seem to have missed out on. God, you must think I’m terrible!”
“No, I think you’re one of the few sensible gals I’ve run across lately. I’ll take you with me at sun-up and we’ll just sort of drift with the tide till-“
“No plans, dearest. I know better than to hold you to foolish promises and, well, you seem to have started something, for I don’t mean to be held to any, either!”
She saw he wasn’t going to answer and chuckled. “You’re not sure if you like that or not, are you? I suppose most girls you do this with fall madly in love with you?”
“I like it best when there’s less fool talk and more action,” Longarm said.
She laughed as he remounted her. She responded to his first thrust, saying, “My heavens, Nan Durler really told the truth about one thing. If this be carnal depravity, I like it. I didn’t mean to offend your manly pride, dearest, but I told you I was weak-willed.”
Longarm laughed, too. He started moving faster, thinking, Yeah, this is what every old boy says he wants—a pretty little thing that moves her tail like a saloon door on payday, with no strings or tears in the cold, gray dawn. By jimmies, he’d take her to Denver and hold on to her for a spell! Then, as he paused, once more sated for the moment, Prudence sighed, “Roll over on your back and let me do it my way.”
“I’m still up to it, honey, and I like to do things my way and I’m bigger than you!”
“My, yes, in every way,” she purred. “But please let me get on top. Pretty please with sugar on it?”
So, having shown he was still the boss, sort of, Longarm rolled his back against the mattress as she took her own way with his flesh. As he suddenly laughed, she paused and asked with a frown, “What’s so funny? I didn’t think I was all that ridiculous with ‘my old shimmy off!”
He laughed again and explained, “I was thinking of a gal I met, maybe a million years ago, who said I’d never meet up with another half as good.”
Prudence Lee arched her petite torso back to grasp his bare ankles and brace herself on locked elbows. Then she hooked a heel in each of Longarm’s armpits and began moving her tiny pelvis in a manner he found impossible as well as delicious. He gasped, “You’re purely fixing to bust me off inside you, but don’t you dare stop!”
“Was that other lady right in her assumption you’d never meet her match in bed, darling?”
Longarm grinned up at the face smiling back at him between a pair of bouncing cupcake breasts and answered, “Honey, she was as crazy as a bedbug! Every other gal I’ve ever done this with was just practice for tonight. You are the very best I’ve ever had and that’s the truth!”
That was what he liked most about women. No matter how good the last had been, each time he found himself a new one, it really did seem that she was the best he’d ever had. So no matter how often he said it, he was always telling the truth.
