“Yeah, he does. I think his old lady, Eden, kinda likes me too. I’ve spent some time with them. I think he will trust me.”

“You try to lose me, or not answer when I’m calling, and I’ll fucking kill ya!”

Brian was shocked. He wondered whether Jimmy could do something like that to his son-in-law…now he knew.

“Wow, okay. I didn’t expect that,” Brian said.

“What the fuck did you expect?”

“That my wife’s father would have been happy I was trying to get some justice for her,” Brian said.

“Yet you told me it wasn’t Cruz’s fault.”

“I did tell you that. Yes, it was an accident, but did I say I didn’t want to kill him?” Brian couldn’t tell what Jimmy was thinking from his facial expression, so he said, “He was fucking my wife…and she died because of that. I want to kill the motherfucker as much as you.”

Jimmy was nodding. “Fair enough. Let’s get this done, Brian, then we can both go home.”

DIAMONDS AND DIRT

ABILENE, TEXAS

Cruz and Edenstepped inside the tiny cabin they’d booked at the Parklands RV Resort. Some of the others had paid the extra cost over their tent fee for a cabin too. This one had its own bathroom.

“The Ritz,” Eden said.

Cruz laughed. “The Abilene Ritz,” he said. “I had to see whether you could handle a tent before you tried anything more upscale.”

“I can do diamonds and dirt,” she said. She flopped face down onto the bed letting out a moan.

“Tired, babe?” he asked.

“A little,” she replied.

He kicked the door closed and stood at the end of the bed. He reached down and grabbed the boot of her right leg, and she bent it up letting him pull it off. With his hand under her ankle, he lowered her foot to the bed then she lifted her other leg giving him access to that boot too. Once he'd pulled that off, and her feet were hanging over the end of the bed, he grabbed her socks, one in each hand, and pulled them off and tossed them aside.

“Ah, that feels so good to get them off,” she said.

“How would you like a little foot rub?” he asked.

“Would I ever. But you don't have to do that,” she said.

He dragged a chair over and sat at the end of the bed while he grabbed her foot and started kneading her instep.

“Oh my god. You can do that forever,” she said.

He smiled and continued to rub her soles. The sounds that were coming out of her mouth were so erotic and he was getting turned on just listening to them.

“You like that?” he said.

“Mm-hmm...”

He worked on one foot for a few minutes, then set it back down on the bed and lifted the other foot and started rubbing that one next. She was having trouble staying awake, it felt so good. She hadn’t realized just how tired she was…not just from the ride, but the emotional stress too.I’ve got to tell him. Soon.

“I can rub your legs if you like,” he said.

She let out a murmur that he could barely hear. He tugged at the bottom of her pants. She reached underneath herself and undid them. That was all he needed. He got a better grasp on the bottom of her pants and pulled them down as she lifted her butt up off the bed. The tiny thong she was wearing was dragged halfway down her butt cheeks and she didn't make any effort to pull it back up again.
