  Susan and Melissa sat back down.

  “Well, you can’t have him, Darla. Remember our pact?”

  Darla drooped her head in a sheepish attitude.

  “Pact?” Slocum said.

  The women all laughed in unison.

  “While we were waiting for you, John, we decided to stay on here in Polvo and help run the Desert Rose. We decided to call ourselves the ‘Canyon Courtesans.’”

  Melissa smirked when she said it, and the other women laughed like jovial conspirators.

  “The Canyon Courtesans,” Slocum said. “It has a nice ring to it. Who are you courtesaning with?”

  “Why, we thought we’d start with you, John,” Susan said. “Take turns.”

  Slocum blushed. He held both hands up in mock surrender.

  “I’m headed out,” he said.

  “Oh, you can stay one more night, can’t you, John?” Melissa cooed. “Just one little old night.”

  Slocum felt hot under the collar.

  He looked at the women, smelled their heady perfume, and saw the desire in their dazzling eyes.

  “I guess time will wait for one man,” he said. “What’s a day here or there?”

  The women cheered and Jack walked over with the bottle and the glass.

  He set them down in an empty spot on the table.

  “You forgot this, John,” he said. “You may need another swaller or two.”

  Slocum sat down and poured bourbon into the shot glass. He lifted it in a silent toast to the women at the table. They all applauded.

  Slocum drank and the women cheered him with laughter and smiled at him.

  “Who’s first?” Darla asked.

  Melissa gave her a withering look.

  “Let John choose,” Susan said.

  “Yes, yes,” they all shouted. “You choose, John.”

  John looked each one in the face. His gaze settled on Darla, the tallest of all the women.

  Darla gave him an alluring smile.

  “How about all four of you?” Slocum said. “Isn’t that what courtesans are for?”

  The women arose from their chairs and rushed to Slocum, smothering him with hugs and kisses.

  Slocum floated on a cloud of pure pleasure, drenched in the scent of perfume and the musk of adoring women in season.
