Jack.

It's not everyday you find some little girly walking 'round in the scorching Arizona desert sun. She didn't even have any bloody gear. She's damn lucky I found her when I did, but she ain't grateful or nothin'. She is a strange one, with her shameless mouth. Maybe it's just because she's a city girl, or maybe I'm just not by the time no more. I was tryin' to sleep some, before I had to drag that red haired pain in the ass back to wherever the bloody hell she came from. I ain't no free ride, let that be clear. I don't even have time for this shit, but I couldn't let her die out there either. She's been callin' me a fucker since she met me and i aint tolerating that. I was about to throw her back out into the storm.
Audrey, is her name. It's probably common for them city folk, but i ain't never heard it 'round these parts before.

I had my face covered with my hat, to keep any of that remaining light out of my eyes while I tried to sleep, and I heard the girl move next to me. I ain't trustin' some stranger I found in the desert, so I was going on wide awake. out of the blue i felt a weight on my legs and a pair of small hands goin' over my shirt.
My hat was taken off my face and I opened my eyes to see the red haired demon sitting on me, ducking her head down. I was about to ask this girl what she in God's name was doing when I felt her lips press against my neck.
My whole body was as awake as a man stuck in a cell with a wanted criminal when I felt her teeth bite into my skin. I hadn't been cherished by a woman for a very long time, so by hell I couldn't help myself. She kept on going, biting and sucking and I just.. Grabbed her by her thighs and squeezed. I never should get distracted by someone like this, but it was as if the devil had possessed my body.

A shakin' breath left my mouth when she moved those hips of hers on my lap and it clouded my judgement of this girl for a good whole moment. When she sat up again, her lips formed a devilish smile on her face.
She kissed me, strangely. Not something I had any woman done to me before, and for a moment I was convinced, she just ain't human. But still bewitched by her I just.. Kissed this girl right back while my hands moved up her legs and ended on her behind. I firmly grabbed her and pressed her pretty body against my own.

I knew i shoulnt have trusted this.. Witch, when I felt the cold steel of a barrel press against the bottom of my chin.
The little devil sat back on my lap as she held my gun to my head, her face being as serious as the night itself. I never moved my hands away from her behind, and a large grin formed on my face. She made an angry face to me, it could scare the biggest baddest man. I knew it was all too good to be the truth. "Didn't anyone ever tell you, girl, that it's rude to point a gun at a man who you just made to enjoy something."

I didnt know she could look any madder, but by hell she did. She pressed the barrel of the gun harder againt my chin before she let out a spoiled huff. "I'm taking your horse, and your guns. Im getting out of here.. Without you."
Now she did sound like she meant it, but i knew she didn't. And not just that, she could threaten me with my gun all she wanted but the first chamber was always empty. To keep me from shooting myself in the leg. "Shoot little girl. I dare you." I mumbled, never wiping that grin off my face.
I didn't feel like she had the guts to shoot me when I heard my gun click. The damned bitch really was going to kill me! So much for helpin' her sorry bum out. I quickly grabbed the gun from her and tossed it aside. She stared at me with those green eyes wide as the underside of a bottle. I pushed her even more against my own being and moved my head closer to hers. "Is that how you are thanking me for saving you, girl?"

She turned her head away from me but I grabbed her chin and made her look at me. The stare I got was one that could kill. "I didn't need saving. Sir." She spat the words in my face. I laughed and let go of her, pushin' her off my lap. I had already tolerated her enough as I did.
She sat on the dust ground of the cave as I stood up, walking over to my horse's saddle, to get Banshee ready to ride again. Yeah, Banshee is my loyal horse. He wouldn't have listened to her anyway without me, that's for sure.

I saddled up my horse and tied my bags back to his saddle once again. I picked my guns up that were still laid on the floor and fasteted the belt around my waist again. Then I grabbed Banshee's lead and led him out of the cave.
it seemed like the weather had cleared up again, which was a darn good thing. When me and Banshee had left the cave I climbed on his back, into my saddle and looked over to the entrance of the cave, Where Audrey stood, watching me. A part of me said I should leave her there, but a part of me wanted her to come.

"Are you just gonna stand there, girl or are you coming?" I called out to her, grinning. She didn't seem too amused by me though. I shrugged my shoulders and tapped Banshee's flanks with my heels to make him walk. I slowly counted to three when I heard her. "Wait! Wait, I'm coming.." I grinned to myself again and stopped Banshee in his tracks, looking over my shoulder.
She had put her coat back on and made her way over to Banshee and me. She looked up at me with that darlin' face of hers and I pointed behind me. "Your ride, Miss." She rolled her eyes at me and I extended an arm out to her. She took it and I pulled her up, having her sit behind me.
Now i ain't used to having a little lady sittin' behind me, and my saddle ain't all that big, so it took me a moment to get all comfortable here. I felt her chest press against my back, and my mind just took me back to that moment in the cave for a minute, makin' me take in a sharp breath when her arms wrapped around my waist. "What in tarnation are you doing, girl?" I grumbled as i looked over my shoulder again.

"Holding on, so I won't fall." She said to me as she still glared at me. I shook my head a little at her and looked in front of me again, urging my horse forward. The nearest town was half a day's ride away. I don't know how the hell she got here, but one thing I did know was that I was going to bring her back where she belonged. Her Madame must be missing her. Such a pretty lady must bring up a lot of dollars for that woman.
I wanted Banshee to get into a gallop, but i also knew very well that the poor beastie would hold that for long in this heat and two people on his back. So a strut was all i urged him into. I needed a place for water soon. Can't have my friend fallin' over now, can we.

We had been riding out here for a while now, and even the sun started to get on my damn nerves. I still haven't found a creek or anythin' alike, and our water was running out here. The ride was all going just fine, though her arms around me were getting sweaty and annoying. "Oi, Girl. Get your arms away from me." It may have sounded rough, but I was serious about it.

She didn't respond, and I let one hand go from Banshee's lead to grab her wrists to pull her arms away from around my waist. It worked, for a lil bit. Then she wrapped them around me again, making me groan loudly. I looked over my shoulder and she was just sittin' there, with a lil smile on her pretty face. "I said let go, girl." My words just made her smile a little more as she shook her head to me again. I was about to grab her hand to pull it away from me again, when she slid it down. I nearly choked on my damn breath, I tell ya, when her hand rested on a place no woman had touched in ages.

"Call me by my name.. Jack.. And I might consider it.." her voice sounded like a cat's purr, but not the sweet kind. I grumbled to myself and grabbed her wrist to take her hand away from my jewels when she squeezed. I sucked in another breath and leaned my head back a little. What in God's name was she doing..? "Miss Morrison.. I kindly ask you to let go of me." I muttered with a troubled voice.

I heard her huff softly when she slowly moved her hands away from me, and I let out a relieved breath. I'm not going to get caught in some girl's trap again, no matter how it's going to feel. Banshee never stopped walking and we just continued on. As is what i thought here. her damned hands were on me again. "Dammit woman! What did I tell you?" I said it loud, and made my horse stop. I swear to God I will leave her behind. "You didn't say for how long." I heard her peep, and I internally exploded, taking a deep breath before getting off my saddle. My boots landed on the sand with a soft thud and I turned to look at her, pointing my finger at her.

"You are impossible. Get off, now." Stern and strong, just like my Pa used to tell me how to be. She just stared at me for a little bit before she clumsily climbed off my Banshee. She obviously never has ridden a horse before. I caught her before she got off by holding my hands on her waist and she gave me that same smile from earlier.

I immediately let go of her and stepped away. She just took a step closer before she wrapped her small arms around me and looked up at me with those big green eyes of hers. "Can I sit up front pleasee..?" She sounded like a whiny child and I shook my head. "Like hell you are, girl. It's the back, or you're walking."
She eventually just agreed so we got back on Banshee and rode off into the sunset.. Sort of.. I swear this woman is going to be the death of me.
