He appeared much older than I had even imagined, but I was already there and wasn’t going to back out on the guy. Besides, he was wealthy and I was... bored. I brought my bag in and proceeded to the bathroom to shower and get dressed. He was a gentleman and didn’t bother me during the process. I exited the room, dressed and ready in a low cut dress that enhanced my already very full cleavage. I thought he was going to drool on himself. He was literally speechless which made me smile and eased. Wesley glanced in the direction he’d seen Lacey as he dismounted and patted Gunthar down to praise him and gave him a couple sugar cubes as a small treat. ‘Good boy…’ he praised, chuckling when the horse nudged him for more sugar.

He wasn’t the type of horse that normally greeted anyone, especially someone. The deal was sealed.The Emperor gave them a room and near free reign of the palace. Only B Awas their escort. Murdock only left to use the Water Closet. He ate allhis meals in the room. He only ate fresh fruit, cheese, mashed potatoes,and hard boiled eggs. Hanibal would eat in the room as well at times.Other times he would eat with the Emperor and play mind challenges withhim. It seemed they each loved to try best each other.

She teased with a broad smile.Now, I was the one who laughed, for there I stood in ruddy western boots, faded jeans, a checkered shirt, and a crumpled western hat. I did look as though I'd been an extra in some John Wayne movie or other oater. As I laughed, she laughed again. I could tell a special rapport had already developed.
