Love, Lace and Guns! (Closed)

[YourDreamGirl]

"Alright... move it!" Mel yelled as she dragged a rather filthy looking man behind her horse. He was her latest bounty and well after spending two weeks in desert hunting the scoundrel down she was ready for a little "R & R" and especially a hot bath. "You're one evil woman! Beckwith! You know that?" the partially toothless man yelled as she yanked the ropes tighter.

"How's a man spose to make a decent livin' when you shooting him in ass huh?" he asked accomplishing nothing but making the 5'4, brunette laugh and nearly fall from her horse.

"Whelp, I reckon you mighta not have wanted to rob a stage coach there Jesse" Mel fired back as she tugged the rope some more and they made their way into a small little dirt town. The town's folk all but stared at the petite spitfire of a woman hauling this rather large rascal into the sheriff's office. Few women if any at all were bounty hunters and it often had it's challenges but Mel coped just fine. She had been orphaned at the age of 13 when her father, a lawman was gun down. Now she had spent the last 12 years of her life bringing the rotten, and the wicked to justice. Now at the age of 25 and as beautiful as Aphrodite herself, she was more than ready to retire, maybe settle down somewhere and open her own saloon with her bounty savings.

"Here ya go sheriff! Now wheres my bounty?" Beckwith laughed as she kicked the ass wounded man through the doors to the office, a trail of dust and dirt following them as she walked through and took a seat propping her feet up on the sheriff's desk. "There you have it! Jesse Townson...stage coach bandit and cattle thief" she added with a big grin and a open palm begging to be filled with money.

Soon enough a jailer came to collect Jesse while Mel or if you got to know her sweet side Melody discussed things over with the lawman. "If you don't get those boots off my desk you aint got anything coming Beckwith!" the older gentleman sheriff said with a grin as he started to count out her money.

"You know Melody you're one of my best hunters! I hate to see you go and retire like this" the older man said handing Mel $3000 dollars and kicking her boots off his desk. Today she was retiring, and planning on living a somewhat normal life not involving guns, bullets or days without the leisurely comforts of home. There was no way that he was going to drag her back into the game. She had caught everyone she had it out for and then some. She even hunted down every member of the gang who killed her father or so she thought.

"Maybe you might want a look at this poster Beckwith!" The sheriff said handing her a piece a paper with a somewhat possible description of an outlaw. "You gotta be kidding me Bill. I got every one the Callaghan gang" Mel spoke back throwing the poster back on his desk.

"Not this one! You didn't! He was only a kid in that gang when you had the unfortunate luck of meeting them." The sheriff spoke as he paced around the desk. "If I had to guess i'd say he was around 17 then...which would put him at 29 ish now" he said with a flare in his voice trying to bait her into taking the case.

The bounty had been the biggest she'd ever seen for one man. It was a whole $25,000 and fact that he had been associated with that whole group of murderous hounds didn't hurt. Melody lifted her revolver and spun the barrel counting the bullets she had left and contemplating the offer. "Well who put the bounty out and it says here that there's no last known location. If what you say is true than this man might as well be a ghost. I highly doubt I'll find him strolling down main street Bill" she spoke sarcastically.

"So I guess that means you're taking it then? Well you bests head to a little boom town not too far north of here called Stillwater. Someone he didn't treat so friendly says he's been hiding out there for sometime now." The sheriff said turning away from Mel to look out the window.

"As far as who put up the bounty...I reckon it was some piece of horse dung railroad man. Says this guy ripped off one of his trains a few years back and made off with thousands!" Bill said turning around and seeing that Melody had taken the wanted flyer and had gone. By her calculations she could be in Stillwater by tomorrow's sundown if she kept at it. Melody rode out like a bat out of hell on her way to find this man and that she would.

Melody Beckwith always got her man!

Bill Callaghan had been 15 when his brothers brought him into their gang. He wasn't crazy about getting involved at first, but he really didn't have much of a choice. He started off slow, just a couple of non-violent robberies. Then, his brothers got him more involved. They had him help with a couple of stagecoach robberies, and then they had him lead a stagecoach robbery. By the time he was 17, Bill was involved in bank robberies. It was also at that time that his brothers were carted off to prison by a bounty hunter. Bill was able to get away..mostly because he was so young and very few knew he even existed.

Once his brothers were gone, Bill kicked around working odd jobs on a variety of farms and ranches. He was waiting for an opportunity to go back and find the money that he had stashed. It was in a cave outside of a non descript town. At the age of 25, Bill decided it was time. He rode back to the cave and fetched the money. He then headed into town, to find a place to stay for the night. After getting his room, he went upstairs and settled in. He didn't sleep well, because he wanted to protect his money.

The next morning he went downstairs and, before heading out of town, he went into the general store for some supplies. While inside he overheard a woman talking about having to sell the store after her husband had passed away. Bill had an idea....buy the store and settle down in the town. It would give him a place to set up some roots and to become legit.

After four years as owner of the general store, Bill had become a pillar of the community. Of course, he was no longer Bill Callaghan. He was now Bill Simpson. The people loved him because he was fair with them. He gave credit to his customers when they were short on cash, and there were even times that he gave customers items and refused to charge them. He was enjoying his new-found life. He was the most eligible bachelor in town, but had never found someone to settle down with.

Melody was surprised by how quickly she'd made it to town. She was there in a day in a half, now ready to get herself started on catching her man. After securing herself a room at the local inn, Mel took a leisurely stroll down main street. She took note of all the buildings and especially the local saloon. It was well known that the Callaghan's loved their drink but judging on how long this Bill's been on the run, he was too smart for that.

Still, she took her time walking threw the saloon, looking for anyone who might fit the eight year old description. It was then she saw the can-can dancers practicing for their next act and well her mind got working on a brilliant way to hide in plain sight. It would be no use to hunt him when he knows a bounty hunter is on his tail so Melody went to lady or well man in charge and applied for a job there. With a quick flash of her full c-cup breasts and a slight change of her name she had the job.

Beckwith was popular among the bandits so she changed her name to Melody Mills. Her mother's maiden name wasn't as famous. "Well you need to get yourself ready young lady and presentable...you're just in time for a little celebration we're having here tonight." the Bartender said still eyeing her as if she was naked.

"The town folk are throwing a little party for it's favorite member...Good ole' Bill down at the general store." he finished and as if she were part of the conversation the leader of the dancing girls added "So dress to impress! He also happens to be the most eligible bachelor in town and more than easy on the eyes hun."

Melody just laughed and shook her head. She wasn't looking for any type of relationship right now. Lastly with some local businessman, probably as old as her father would have been and no sex drive to speak of. Melody knew those types of men all too well and more than one wanted the chance to say that they'd tamed the wild woman she was. " No worries you two. For you sir, I'll be as beautiful as a sunset and for you Madame, he's all yours. With that her stroll through town ended and she went to get ready for the night.

She couldn't have planned it more perfectly herself. All the town should be there and with some work she felt she had a good shot at closing her bounty tonight. Melody sighed to herself as went over the dress she bought for the night. "Too much for me but men like it I guess" she spoke to her reflection in the mirror trying to give herself a pep talk. She'd just finished cleaning up and smelled of lavender and vanilla, the perfect smell to go with the deep purple dress and corset combo picked. The sun was setting and it seemed that all of town was slowly creeping out and to the party. Melody slowly made her way to the saloon in her heeled shoes, trying to adjust the breasts boosting but tight corset and the silken band of her garter.

Bill was amazed at the party that the town was throwing for him. He really didn't want them to do it. All he really wanted to do was live a quiet, peaceful life, and put his past behind him. He had been able to do that, and in turn, he had been able to do some good in his community...his adopted community. Everyone that came into the store that day stopped to talk to him about the party. There were even a lot of folks coming in to pay off their tabs. Bill knew that several of them were barely scraping by, and he refused to take their money, "I'll get it from you next month. Don't worry about it now."

The sheriff stopped by for a little while. The two of them killed time making small talk about a whole lot of nothing. The sheriff was a good ole guy, but Bill was happy that the sheriff had no idea of his real identity. After the sheriff left, Bill talked to a couple of people who had just purchased a ranch outside of town. They asked him about supplies, and Bill was more than happy to help them. Once they had finished the transaction, Bill helped them load the supplies into their wagon, and waved to them as the headed off out of town.

Bill closed up the shop and headed home to get ready for the party. He wasn't real excited about it, but he did appreciate that they recognized his contributions to the town. After dressing, Bill headed over to the saloon. He was not a drinker, but this was where they had chosen to hold the event. When he walked through the door he was surprised that there were so many people there. It seemed that the whole town was in attendance. He shook hands with several people and made his way around the room; greeting everyone in attendance....even the can-can girls. He said hello to one dancer he had never seen before, and he introduced himself to her. She was by far the prettiest of the dancers. He shook her hand, let his eyes take her in for a second, and then he continued making his way around the room.

 

[YourDreamGirl]

It was hard to maintain her focus with how charming Bill had turned out to be. Melody did her best to remind herself that she was there purely for work only but when her eyes locked on to his, it was hard not to drown in the deep blue color of them. Still she scanned the room for possible suspects, taking him from the list once she saw just how friendly Bill had been with the law.

Through further observation Melody also noticed how un-enthused he was to be there. He had been cordial yes and even a bit charming at times but she could since that there was something else lurking there and that piqued her curiosity.

No, no thank you became her phrase of the night as countless drunkards tried to earn her affections with buying her drinks or flashing their wealth at her. None of that was the key to her heart though and as far as she was concerned she hadn't one.

After an hour of posturing and few suspects Melody decided to approach the general store owner. If anything he would be able to provide her some shelter from other men and possibly even help her narrow it down. Bill owned the only supply post for miles so everyone in the area had to come to him. Maybe her saw her bounty. "But how to approach him?" she thought to herself.

"Come here often" she asked with a smile and tap on his shoulder to let him know that she was behind him. Melody admired him for a few seconds before her charisma took over and she said "This is usually the part when you ask me to dance but I understand if you don't want to. There's other things man and woman can do together". Her face was lit with a smile and her voice was light and pleasant as she spoke to Bill. Hopefully she wasn't to flirtatious.

 

[BeachBum25]

Bill continued to greet people as he moved around the room. He was not crazy about being at a party in his honor, because he truly liked to maintain a low key. He was always afraid his past would come back to haunt him, and he had worked very hard to put his past behind him. Bill leaned over to talk to several people seated at a table drinking. As he stood back up, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He was surprised to see the new can-can girl standing there. He was even more surprised to hear what she had to say to him. "Well, I would be happy to dance with such a pretty lady." His eyes moved over her body. "Is that so? What are some of these other things that men and women can do together." He placed his hand on her lower back. "Why don't you let me buy you a drink, and you can tell me about some of these things."

Bill escorted the woman to a table and held the seat out for her. He knew that it wasn't proper for a woman to be drinking in the saloon, but, after all, this was his party and he would take some liberties with the rules. He went to the bar and got a whiskey and a sarsaparilla. He placed the whiskey in front of the woman and sat down with the sarsaparilla. "So, little lady. Tell me about theses things women and men do together." He smiled at her as he continued to look her over.

"Well just off the top of my head..." she took a small sip of her glass before finishing her thought "Make love? But I'd suppose a handsome devil like yourself has a woman for that". She smiled brushing her hair away from her cleavage. Melody knew he had been watching her a lot closer than man looking for friendship would have been and truth be told she wasn't sure if she just wanted to be friends either.

Melody could use someone warming her bed for the night. She leaned in close enough to whisper in his ear her true intentions or at least part of them. "I'd like to propose an offer. I find you extremely attractive and would love the pleasure of sharing the night with you."

Melody gave him a kiss on the cheek and small stroke of his thigh before finishing her drink. "Thanks for the drink handsome!" she said slipping a piece of paper with her room number on it into his vest pocket. "I'll be waiting".

Her smile was charming as she slid out of her chair and headed to the stage to perform. Melody was undercover after all so performing the can can was her job. She did her best and even stood out among the rest of the dancers as they made their way through the crowd teasing men with their bodies. Melody got vicious looks from the head dancer as she went to sit on the man of the hour's lap, twirling her skirt, revealing her garters.

Melody had promised that dancer earlier that she would stay away from but that was before she knew just how good looking he would turn out to be. And, as if it didn't make matters worse, Melody teased his lips with her finger before giving him a kiss. The bounty she had come for had just about left her mind.

 

[BeachBum25]

Bill smiled as she slipped the paper into the pocket of his vest. He hadn't come here tonight looking to spend the night with anyone. Truth be told, there was nobody in town that had caught his eye recently. That was, until tonight. The new dancer was beautiful, and she was confident. She knew he was giving her the once over, and had no problem with it. In fact, she moved her hair to give him a better view of her ample cleavage.

He watched her walk away. She looked good from that direction too. He kept his focus on her as she danced, and was surprised by her when she came back and sat in his lap. He enjoyed her finger on his lips. He also enjoyed the looks they were getting from the rest of the people.

After the dancer walked away, Bill got up and began making his way around the saloon. As much as he would like to go visit the woman, he had to respect the people who were throwing this party for him. He stayed and socialized until the last person left. It was late, and Bill figured it was too late to go to the dancer's room. He started to walk home when he changed his mind. He headed toward the hotel, took the paper out of his pocket and went up the stairs to her room. He knocked lightly on her door.

 

[YourDreamGirl]

Melody kept up with her performing but Bill was never far from her thoughts. The head dancer was more than pissed with her which made her laugh because as the night wore on it seemed asif MMelody wouldn't have the pleasure of him either. As the guests started thin out it became clear to her that Bill would live up to all the rumors of him not fancying any woman in that one horse town.

So, when it had almost been closing time Melody took off for home slightly disappointed, horny as hell but not too bent out of shape about it. After all she was there for work and not play. There was just something about him that caught her body off guard and caused a heat that she hadn't felt for anyone.

She drew herself a bath and relaxed some before going to bed alone. "He just doesn't know" she remarked to herself with a chuckle, her nude form slowly disappearing beneath the soft fabric of her sheets.

It would only be two hours later when a knock at her door would wake her. Her first reaction was to grab her revolver but then she remembered no one knew who she was or where she had chosen to lie her head other than him. She tucked her gun back into her bedside table and went to the door. Taking a deep breath and brushing her dark hair into place she opened the door to find Bill standing there. Melody caused a bit of shock as she was still stark naked and even more surprisingly, she threw her arms onto his shoulders for a deep kiss. She wanted to take all words from his lips as she pulled him into her room.

Her lips tasted him feverishly as her hands explored the figure of the man she wanted to make shake in erotic joy. Only when she had managed to fall back onto her bed, pulling him along for the ride she broke the silence. "Changed your mind?" She spoke softly with a smile.

 

[BeachBum25]

He couldn't say he was disappointed, but he certainly was shocked when she answered the door totally naked. His eyes moved over her wonderful body, and when she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. He returned her kiss as she pulled him toward her bed. When she fell back on the bed holding onto him, he did not resist and fell on top of her...their lips locked on each other's.

He could feel her breasts pressing against him through his clothes. He had certainly never encountered a woman like this before. She was very beautiful and had a body that did not quit, and she was not shy about what she wanted; nor was she going to resist going after what she wanted.

Bill leaned up a little and looked down at her. "No, I didn't change my mind. It was just a matter of how long it would be before the last person left. Once they did, I had to decide whether it was too late. I am glad that I made the decision that I did." He kissed her hard as he slid his hands up her sides...his fingertips dragging teasingly over her skin.

 

[YourDreamGirl]

She hoped that he could feel her lips turn into a smile as they kissed. The wonderful sensation of his fingers tip's made her groan under her breath. His body pressed so close to hers was amazing in itself. Her bare hips rose to meet his groin instinctively as her hands fumbled with the unfastening of his pants and her lips tenderly starved to be pressed up against his.

"I'm sorry...am I rushing things for ya?" She said with a smile and a light chuckle as she stared deeply into his eyes. Melody gave a grin, then a kiss and as she gave the kiss her hands slipped inside his pants. Not straight for his crotch mind you, they glided over the sides of his hips and then smoothly on his lower back. Her thumbs hooked onto his waistline and with a swift pull his pants came down.

Now part of his body was naked and against hers. Melody bit her lower lip before pulling away from him. She lifted herself onto her elbows and smiled at him. "I would love to know what you're hiding beneath those clothes" she spoke softly not wanting to sound too demanding. Her head fell lightly to her shoulder and she licked her lips in an anticipation as her eyes scanned over his body.

Her legs were slightly parted in the dim light of the moon it perfectly lit for moment. She wouldn't touch herself then no matter how much she may have wanted too. The touching was for him to do now she thought to herself. Melody want him to show her his before she'd show him her skills.
