STORY EXCERPT

“Oh, my God, it is you. Kat!”

Before she could respond, a woman rushed across the room and pulled her into a hard embrace. She pressed her arms against the woman’s chest, her mouth growing dry, and the sound of her heartbeat roaring in her ears. “Stop. What are you doing?”

“What’s the matter? Don’t you recognize me?”

Kat looked closer, and her hand flew to her own chest. A heavy feeling settled in her stomach, her hands suddenly shaking uncontrollably. “Anna? What the hell have you done to yourself?”

Anna’s hair was longer than she’d ever seen it, hanging in a slender braid over one shoulder. Although still red, it had some silver streaks mixed throughout the stands. There were lines in her face Kat didn’t remember and a glow of happiness she’d never seen before.

“What are you wearing?” Anna had on some kind of long robe that looked like it came from the antique shop she and Anna liked to browse through on rainy weekends.

“Oh, Kat, it’s so good to see you again.”

Kat rubbed her forehead. “What do you mean, again? It’s only been a couple of hours since I left you in front of the saloon. Where the hell have you been?” She glanced around the room. “And where the hell are we?”

“Uh-oh! Looks like she doesn’t know any more than you did when you arrived.”

Kat looked toward the door and saw three men standing in front of the window. One was David, and the other two were strangers. Well over six feet tall and lanky, the man who’d spoken had brown hair with flecks of gray and dark eyes. The other man was short and stocky, with blond hair and blue eyes.

Anna put her hand on Kat’s arm. “We’re in the Silver Rush Saloon in Hamilton, Nevada.”

Kat studied the room and then turned back to Anna. “Okay, joke’s over. Did I pass out or something when I fell down the stairs? Did you cart me off somewhere so you could play some elaborate joke on me?” She laughed. “I have to admit, as far as jokes go, this one’s a beaut.”

“The truth is always best, Anna. It’s also easier in the long run for everyone.” Win smiled at Kat as he walked over to stand next to David.

Kat jumped at the sound of Win’s voice behind her. She looked at Anna. “Yeah, the truth would be nice.”

Anna took a deep breath. “Okay, but I’d like to ask you a couple of questions.”

Kat nodded. “Okay.”

“What’s the last thing you remember?”

She thought for a moment. “I was searching for you. I’d gone through the entire town and then remembered you wanted a closer look at the saloon, so I came inside.” She shrugged. “I looked around and spotted the door to the cellar.” Wrinkling her forehead, she paused. “There was something that wasn’t right.” She tried to recall what she’d seen. “The basement was a mess, but there was a…” Kat frowned, biting her lip. She walked a couple of steps away, her glance darting around, and then came back to stand in front of Anna. “There was…”

“A big, red glowy circle.” Anna raised her arm and put it around Kat’s shoulders. “It sucked you in and sent you here.”

Kat looked around and frowned. “It sucked me in and sent me here.” When Anna nodded she laughed. “And just where is here?”

Anna looked toward the ceiling and cleared her throat. “It’s not so much of a where, as when.” She nodded toward the men standing by the door. “You wanted to know who they are. Well, let me introduce you.”

Anna crooked her finger, motioning the men closer. Her hand rose to the brunet’s shoulder. “This is Beauregard Martinson, otherwise known as Beau.” Her hand moved to the other man’s shoulder. “And this is Ezekiel Moses Bennington, otherwise known as Zeke.” Anna swallowed and rubbed Kat’s arm in a soothing gesture. “They’re my husbands, and you’re in Hamilton, Nevada. It’s September the seventeenth, 1899.”

Kat tensed, her temper flaring. She took a step back, her nails biting into her palms. “It’s not nice to try and pull the wool over your best friend’s eyes. What do you take me for?” She paused to catch her breath. “Oh, I know, this is payback for nagging you into making this trip.”

She turned and walked toward the door. “I’m getting out of here. I’m not gonna be the butt of anybody’s jokes no matter how good of friends we are.” She pulled open the door and froze. The rotting buildings were gone and in their place were solid, weathered structures. The dirt road looked well-traveled, and there were horses tied up in front of several of the buildings.

Holding her breath, she whirled around to stare at Anna. “You said it’s 1899?”

Anna nodded and wrapped her arms around her waist. “Yes, Kat. For me, it’s been twenty-eight years since you walked down the road toward the mill, leaving me to look through the town. You’ve traveled one hundred and thirteen years into the past.”

Kat heard a roaring sound in her ears while white spots danced in front of her eyes. Then, blessed blackness settled around her.

ADULT EXCERPT

She felt Win come up behind her, his erection nudging her buttocks. His hands came around her shoulders, his fingertips running over the top of her barely exposed breasts. He peeled the lace away from her skin as he dragged his mouth along the sensitive skin of her neck and shoulders.

“Wait,” she gasped. “Somebody could really come along. We’re so exposed here.”

David cupped her cheek and gazed into her eyes. “I’d like nothing better than to strip off all your clothes and be buried inside your warm, willing body.” His hand drifted up, his fingers making maddeningly slow circles around the peak of her breast. “But we’ll protect you, love. I swear nobody will see you but us.” Leaning forward, he kissed the corner of her mouth, lightly running his thumbs over the hardening tips of her breasts.

“I feel like I’m in heat around you guys.” Her head dropped back onto Win’s shoulder when David peeled down her chemise, opened his mouth, and sucked her nipple deep inside. Win’s fingertips slipped under her skirt, working tiny circles on her sensitive inner thigh. David ripped open his shirt and pressed closer, rubbing her taut nipples against his chest.

David looked over Kat’s shoulder and smiled. Win leaned over, and the two men embarked on a kiss that made Kat catch her breath. The anticipation of what might happen sent chills racing across her skin. She raised her hand and stroked the hair on David’s chest and stomach.

Win leaned close to her ear. “Raise up for me, love.”

She got to her knees, and he pulled down her drawers, letting his fingers slide over the globes of her ass, his hands tightening on her buttocks. David captured one of her nipples in the moist, warm suction of his lips. Pleasure rocked her body when he flattened his tongue over the rigid tip.

Win had her skirt shoved up to her waist while his fingers slid into the cleft of her buttocks. Her legs trembled when David pressed his engorged erection against her lower belly.

David fumbled with the buttons on his pants. The brown trail of hair down his stomach ended in a thick nest around the base of his cock and balls. He brought her hand to his cock, placing her palm against the veined shaft. She stroked his erection where it rose up from its nest of curls, her thumb rubbing the bead of pre-cum into his skin.

She moaned when Win’s fingers brushed slow, gentle strokes inside her thighs. He pushed the material of her skirt aside and probed her with his thick forefinger, letting it rub over her clit. With a keening moan, Kat let her head fall back as his fingers moved in and out of her pussy.

* * * *

Win pulled her away from David, laying her flat on the blanket. He pulled her skirt and drawers away, tossing them to the side. His thumb glided along her lip while his fingers traced her hairline. He felt his cock jerk as his gaze slid down her body.

David moved behind Kat, letting her head lie on his knees. Her skin looked pale against the darker hue of his.

Win skimmed the tip of his tongue across the seam of her lips and then teased along her cheekbone. He nibbled her neck, working his way down her body, nipping her shoulders and laving the small bites as she squirmed in pleasure. He prowled down her body, his big hands easing up the length of her ribcage, hovering at the base of her breasts. Licking gently, he took her hard nipple into his mouth. She made a groaning sound deep in her throat when he dragged his teeth lightly over the swollen tip and then latched on, sucking hard.

“Please,” she begged. “I need your cock in me, now.”

Win moved over her, nesting his hips between her legs, his hair falling softly over his shoulder. Leaning down, he took one rosy nub into his mouth and sucked, tugging it with his lips and tongue. He heard Kat gasp and felt her shudder underneath him. Gripping her hips almost hard enough to leave a bruise, he poised at the opening of her body. Grasping his cock, he positioned the tip and pushed slowly inside of her, watching as her flesh parted for him. She sucked in a deep breath as he slid through her cleft. With several firm pushes, he slid into her, sheathing himself until their bodies met.

“Bring your knees up,” he whispered.

Her legs rose to wrap around him, her heels digging into his butt. She ran her hands over his back and buttocks and then wound her arms around his neck. “I love the feel of you on top of me.”

He cupped her bottom in his hands and lifted her hips as he pounded into her. His eyes closed as he continued to thrust, pushing deeply and grinding his hips against her clit and then retreating. His eyes popped open when he felt a hard, warm body pressing against his back.

David licked his ear. “The two of you look so hot together. I want you right now. I wanna fuck you while you’re fucking Kat.”

Win groaned and leaned forward, Kat’s fingernails digging into his scalp. “What about it, love? Are you ready to see us together?”

She clutched his shaft with her inner muscles, breathing raggedly. “Yes, do it. I want us all together.”
