"Is that a fact? I figure y'all be keeping the rattlers company in the sand right 'bout now had we met before."She sneered at him.He softly chuckled, ...nfazed by her threat."You look more beautiful up close. I've been following you for a while now. Watching from afar..."He told her."Uh-huh... Why don'tcha look a little closer, I'll show y'all what the end of my barrel looks like!"She placed a hand over her colt. 45 revolver that sat against her hip, inside its leather holster."Please...

Penelope seemed withdrawn now as she stared blankly at the ceiling. ‘I plan to make him my lover after we marry.’ His hand tightened on her stomach. ‘The hell you will.’ ‘Don’t act shocked, Jason.’ Her voice was oddly.
