drinks, talk, and see where it all leads.”
    â€œHopefully to your bedroom.”
    â€œMaybe so,” she said, managing a smile. “You’re due for something good to happen, I’d say.”
    â€œI say so too,” he agreed as they crossed the street and walked on.

    Twenty minutes later they were climbing into Gloria’s large feather bed and then Longarm was kissing and touching all the right places. He found Gloria’s pleasure spot, and when she began to squirm and moan, he mounted her and they made love with a passion that surprised them both. When it was over, Longarm rolled off the woman and stared up at her bedroom ceiling.
    â€œHow long has it been since you’ve had a man?” he asked quietly.
    â€œTwo years.”
    â€œSince your husband.”
    â€œNo, I had a lover a year after my husband died. We made love at least once a day for two months.”
    â€œAnd then?”
    â€œAnd then he decided that he didn’t want Denver and he didn’t want me.”
    â€œI’m sorry.”
    â€œDon’t be. He wasn’t that much of a man. I’m better off without him.”
    â€œGood.”
    Gloria rolled over onto Longarm. “So what do we do about Bodie tomorrow morning now that his grandmother and aunt have made it more than clear they want nothing to do with the boy . . . much less his wolf dog?”
    â€œI’m going to sleep on it,” Longarm told her.
    Gloria reached down and grabbed his flaccid manhood and began to stroke it. “Not all night, you aren’t!”
    Longarm grinned broadly. He had suspected that Gloria was going to be something special, and now he was sure of it.

Chapter 4
    Longarm overslept, and when he awoke, Gloria had already left to open her dress shop. On the kitchen table was a written note that read:
    Dear Custis,
    I just didn’t have the heart to wake you after such a wonderful but long and exciting night together. As soon as possible, let me know how it went with Bodie and Sheriff Miller.
    Love, Gloria.
    â€œDamn!” Longarm whispered to himself when he consulted his railroad pocket watch and saw that it was nearly ten o’clock.
    He dressed hurriedly and locked Gloria’s door on his way out. His own room was only three blocks away, and he rushed over there to wash up a little, then shave and don his own shirt and coat. He knew that by the time he got to Sheriff Miller’s office with Bodie, it was going to be pushing noon.
    At eleven o’clock he burst into Dr. Winslow’s office to come unexpectedly face-to-face with Ida and Rose. Ida lit into Longarm before he could even ask the old lady why she was here at the doctor’s office.
    â€œHe’s gone!” Ida cried. “My grandson and his dog have disappeared.”
    Longarm glanced at Rose, who nodded her head and fought back tears. He was about to say something when Dr. Winslow and his wife stepped into the room. The doctor looked upset. “That boy took his dog and left sometime in the night. We had yesterday’s receipts in a drawer and that money is also missing.”
    â€œHow much?” Longarm asked.
    â€œAbout thirty dollars.”
    â€œDoc, I’m real sorry about that, and I promise I’ll make it up to you on my next payday,” Longarm said. “I don’t suppose that Bodie left us a clue as to where he has gone.”
    â€œNo,” the doctor said. “And frankly, I really don’t care. I treated his dog for free, we fed the two of them, and this is what I get in return?”
    â€œAgain, I’m sorry about the thirty dollars,” Longarm said, meaning it. “And I will pay back what Bodie stole.”
    â€œNever you mind about that,” Ida said. “I’ll take care of it. The boy is my grandson and last evening I told you he carried my daughter’s bad blood . . . but even so, I feel terrible about judging him so
