The Oregon trail

Leaving a lady hanging

Alex's P.O.V

"Took you long enough," Steve grinned, pushing the empty seat between him and Trampus towards me with his hand.

The sandy haired cowboy had a dark haired woman sitting in his lap. Wearing a revealing red dress with a low cut bust. One sneeze and it would be all over for her modesty.

The Saloon was packed to the rafters, I'd never seen so many men all in one place. There had to be close to a hundred men in here. All drinking, laughing and talking loudly.

"Just picking up a couple things from the store.... Finally met your Sheriff, wanted to talk to me about something," I told him, sitting down in the chair.

"Oh?" The Virginian inquired raising a brow, "Yea I guess he thought I may have been harbouring those Indians or something," I responded as Trampus pushed a pile of cards towards me.

"Where you gonn' hide some Indians?" Jeff asked with a laugh, I shrugged my shoulders in response, "Dunno, reckon I could get a couple in my saddle roll," I joked.

I grinned to myself as the others laughed, "Who would've thought you'd have a sharp tongue on you," Trampus chuckled, "We might have found out sooner if you let other people get a word in edge ways," The Virginian added, picking up a card from the pile.

"Hey, I let others talk!".

"Well, I don't think there's nothin' wrong with being a little shy," The woman grinned, leaning over she grabbed me by the hat, tugging me closer to her, lips pursed as she leant towards me.

I was quick to move, the feet of the chair slamming down on the wooden floorboards with a loud 'bang'.

I was on my feet in an instant, readjusting my hat, pulling it down further over my hair line.

The woman pouted from Trampus's lap, blue eyes wide as she looked at me in mild disappointment.

"You really going to leave a lady hanging?".

A blush rose on my cheeks at her comment, as she all but crawled off Trampus's lap trying to be seductive as she made her way towards me.

"Errrrrrr, yes?".

"May leave the poor kid alone," Trampus told her. She pouted dramatically before plonking down in his lap once more, crossing her legs, as she sat side saddle across him.

Her red dress rode up and I could see where her stockings ended mid thigh. Disgust shot through me at the sight, but she took me staring as an invitation and blew me a kiss.

My eyes widened and I threw my cards down on the table, I tapped out murmuring something about needing another drink.

The others laughing as I made my exit as quickly as possible. I could hear The Virginian telling May to leave me be.

I only glanced over my shoulder to make sure the brunette didn't follow.

Seeing that she was back to straddling  Trampus's lap, playing with his hair, his hat now on her head.

She looked up catching me staring at her, and instantly she puffed out her chest, all but hitting Trampus in the chest with her cleavage that was threatening to spill out of the low cut, red and black satin dress. With her spare hand she indicated for me to come towards her.
