girl. I knew I liked you. What were you planning to do once you got the gold?”
    “Head for California. Start a new life. One where I don’t have to work so hard. I’d be halfway there by now if you hadn’t come along.” She wiggled against him and he groaned.
    “Right now, I find it hard to feel sorry about that.”
    She started to rock. “I believe you said something about a proposition.”
    “Sit still and I’ll tell you.”
    She settled down around him, feeling smug and enjoying the length of him inside her.
    “I’ve always wanted to see California.”
    She froze.
    “I suggest a partnership.” She didn’t say anything, so he continued. “Be a lot easier to settle into a respectable life as a rich woman if you were a rich woman with a husband.”
    She stiffened, surprised.
    “I think we could pull off Mr and Mrs Tucker quite well if we put our minds to it.”
    She considered. He was right, it would be easier for her with a husband. But could she trust him?
    He watched her anxiously.
    “You know,” he added, “there is one other advantage to this idea.”
    “What’s that?”
    He pulsed up against her and she grinned. “That’s all well and good, but how do I know I can trust you?” Rose asked.
    The look on his face was positively evil. “Because there’s no downside for me. I get to live off that gold and the possibility of this”—he rocked his hips again—“on a regular basis. Why would I give that up?”
    She laughed and leant back, bracing herself on the ground between his knees with one hand and extending the other in his direction. “You’ve got a deal.” He raised an eyebrow at her and she giggled. “Oh yeah, you’re a little tied up right now.”
    “Yeah,” he said, “about that.”
    She lifted herself slowly off him, watching as his eyes closed and his head fell back. She untied the rope with shaky fingers then stood back to watch as he got to his feet, stepping out of his boots and trousers. He rubbed his wrists, rolled his shoulders, and turned to reach for her.
    She met him halfway, twining her arms around his neck. He folded her in his arms, crushing her against him. Tucker dropped his head and took her mouth, kissing her for the very first time and taking her breath away. He invaded her mouth with his tongue and her own tangled with it eagerly as he slid his hands down to knead her ass, holding her tight against him. She could feel the length of his erection against her belly and by the time he had broken the kiss she was weak with wanting him. He kissed her again, slower this time, taking her lower lip into his mouth and sucking gently as he tugged her towards the ground. She fell to her knees, and he rolled on top of her, feathering kisses over her face and down her neck.
    “Now,” she gasped. “I need you inside me now.” She spread her legs wide and arched her hips to meet his thrust, taking him in entirely in one smooth stroke.
    He stopped as soon as he was deep inside her, and brought his hands up to brush her hair away from her face. He ran his thumb over her lower lip and kissed her so gently that her stomach clenched. “You’re beautiful.” His forehead creased. “What is your name, Miss Bank Teller?”
    “I’m Rose,” she said. “Nice to meet you.”
    He chuckled, the deep sound rumbling pleasantly. “My pleasure.” He started to move against her. “Really.”
    She started to laugh, then gasped instead as he increased the tempo. She met him thrust for thrust, roaming her hands over his broad back, clutching at his shoulders, digging her fingernails into his skin. His kissed her over and over again, his tongue matching the rhythm of his body. She loved his hands on her, his mouth. He said her name, low and husky, and that was all it took to send her over the edge. Her cries mingled with his until they lay entangled in each other’s arms, the sun beating down on them.
    Tucker looked up at her. “You up for a dip?” He stood and took her hand to
