Page 11 of Q: Satan's Fury MC

“Hey, now. I’m not that old.” Maverick looked out at the rest of us as he said, “Besides, we’ve all gotten older. Even you.”

“Um-mh.” Dusty looked us all over, then shook his head and said, “Not Wyatt.”

He released Maverick, then rushed over to Bones and gave him a hug. Bones returned his embrace, then patted him on the back as he said, “Hey, Dusty. It’s good to see ya.”

“You’ve got-ten really tall.”

“Yeah, I have.” Bones smiled as he motioned his hand over to Wrath. “Your buddy Charlie has, too.”

Dusty stepped back and looked over to Wrath as he said, “Hey, Charlie.”

“Hey there, Dusty. Good to see ya, brother.”

We all took a moment to say our hellos to Dusty and Dallas, and we were all pleased to see that he and his mother were doing so well. Apparently, the new husband had been treating them both very well, and they were both happy. Dallas also filled us in on Katie, Dusty’s older sister. She was also doing well and was living close by with her new boyfriend. They were expecting their first kid and were making plans to get married over the holidays.

Cotton gave Dallas a hug as he told her, “I’m glad to see you all are doing so well.”

“Thanks, Cotton. I really appreciate it.” A bright smile crossed her face as she told him, “I couldn’t have done it without you.”

“I don’t know. Something tells me you would’ve made it just fine either way.” He motioned his hand over to the barn as he told her, “Cass and the rest of the girls are in the barn getting things ready.”

“Great. I’ll go give them a hand.”

When she started to collect Dusty, Maverick stopped her by saying, “He can hang with me.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah. I could use a hand with these baskets.”

“Okay. Great.” Dallas turned to Dusty as she ordered, “You be good and listen to Maverick. You got me?”

Dusty nodded with excitement. “I got ya.”

“Good.”

Dallas gave him a warm smile, then turned to join the others in the barn. Once she was gone, the brothers and I got back to work, and it wasn’t long before we’d completed everything that needed to be done. The place looked great with all the extra lights and fall decor, but the workers’ costumes took the whole ‘pioneer thing’ to the next level. They all looked incredible, especially the cute blonde I’d tried talking to a few hours earlier.

She was standing outside the gift shop with another one of the girls who worked for Smokey. They’d both changed and were both dressed in long plaid dresses, white bonnets, and white aprons. They reminded me of characters fromLittle House on the Prairieas they demonstrated the fine art of churning butter.

A stream of wicked thoughts drifted through my mind as I watched her voluptuous breasts bounce as her hands pumped the wooden churn. Unable to resist the temptation, I walked over to get a closer look.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her as I stood there with a smirk on my face. Sadly, it wasn’t long before she noticed that I was watching her, and she immediately stopped churning. A look of anger mixed with embarrassment crossed her face as she grumbled, “Umm, can I help you with something?”

“Nope. I was just enjoying the view.”

She glared at me for a moment, then shook her head and said, “Well, I think it’s time for you to go find another view.”

“I don’t know. I really like this one.” I let my eyes rake over her as I teased, “I mean, it’s not every day that you get to see a pilgrim make butter.”

She tugged at the snug-fitting fabric of her dress and sassed, “Oh, he has jokes. I didn’t take you to be the comedian type.”

“What can I say? I’m a man of many facets.”

“Are you always such a pain in the ass or is today just a special day?”

“Jules,” the girl next to her gasped. “There are kids around.”

“Sorry. I wasn’t thinking.” Jules’ angry scowl grew even more intense as she glared at me and asked, “Don’t you have somewhere you need to be?”
