Gabriella drove on the Arizona back road. The wind from the open windows blew her long, dark hair. She was going to visit her cousins. She hadn’t seen them since her father died. The last time she had spoken to them on the phone was fifteen months ago. They didn’t know she was coming. She didn’t either until she had stormed out of her mother’s house in Mexico for the last time.
She had no idea where her older brother was. If you looked up the word, drifter, his picture would be next to it. A loud pop echoed from the front of her Honda Civic. The car leaned to the right.
“Shit!” Gabriella pulled over on the side of the road. She got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side. The side wall of her front tire had a hole in it.
Gabriella dug in her purse for the directions. She looked at the computer printout. She was fifteen miles away from her destination. She had a donut in the trunk, but she didn’t know how to change a tire. “Ugh, great.”
Thirty minutes later, Gabriella struggled to change the tire. She couldn’t get a signal on her cell phone and a car hadn’t driven by. She rubbed her exposed midriff and looked at her watch. It was 11:04 a.m. She thought about walking. Fifteen miles was a long walk in the heat with only one bottle of water, but she couldn’t stay out in the desert alone all night.
A twinge of hope struck her as a car was coming up on the horizon. The closer it got, she could tell it was a cop car. Gabriella waved her hands in the air. She breathed a sigh of relief when he pulled over.
He was tall and bulky and his skin was light bronze. He had a perfectly straight nose. Gabriella thought he was hot.
“Having some trouble, miss?” he asked.
“Yes, I have a flat tire and I’m struggling with the spare. You think you can help me out?”
“Sure can,” he said and tipped his Stratton at her.
Twenty minutes later, he had the flat in the trunk and the donut on the car.
“You shouldn’t drive on that donut for too long. There’s a town fifteen miles up the road. There’s a garage there that’s reasonably priced,” he said.
“I'll stop there, I promise. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t come along. This road is disserted. Five years ago, it was full of cars. People liked to look at the scenery.”
“You from here, ma’am?”
“Oh, no. My parents used to travel through here when my brother and I were little.”
“So, you’re taking a trip on memory lane?”
“You can say that.”
“Not many people take this road anymore because it is in the desert. Route 501 was widened a long time ago, so people take that, now.”
“Oh, so, what are you doing out here?”
“We patrol through here once in a while to make sure everything is on the up and up,” he said with a smile. His teeth sparkled in the sunlight.
What the hell? No one is out here but us, and I’ve never fucked a cop before, she thought.
“I don’t know how I can repay you, but I like to try,” she said and placed her hands on his chest.
His mouth dropped open. His brown eyes looked into hers. “Miss . . . I would love to actually, but I’m on duty.”
“I’ve had such an ordeal out here. I could use something to make me feel better. Isn’t serving the community part of your . . . duties?”
He wanted to smile - Gabriella could tell. “Also, I would like to give you a special thank you. I promise I won’t keep you for hours – unless you want me to,” she said and winked. Her hand glided down his chest to his pants. She started stroking his crotch.
“Um . . . honey, how old are?” he struggled to get out.
“Oh, I just turned twenty-one,” she said with a smile and took his Stratton off of his head.
He had dark straight hair. Long strands hung down his forehead. He had a hint of a mid-western accent. “You got pretty skin. Are you Latina?”
Gabriella nodded. “Half.”
“From what I can tell it’s your best half,” he mumbled as he gave her the once-over.
Gabriella placed the Stratton on her head.
“Well, you are offering and I can’t see why I would refuse such a . . . generous gift,” he said with a smile.
She backed him against the car. “What’s your name, deputy?”
“Just call me Jeff, honey,” he said as he unbuckled his gun belt.
“All right. Judging from what I got in my hand, I’ll be yelling it in fifteen minutes,” she said and got on her knees in the dirt.
Jeff dropped his gun belt inside the car window while Gabriella undid his pants. She pulled out his fat, brown dick and took it in her mouth. Her head worked back and forth as Jeff leaned his head back. His dick began to harden in her mouth.
Her pussy moistened against her thong. Gabriella moaned with hunger against his member. Jeff gripped the window edge of the car as Gabriella licked the tip of him like a lollipop.
“Shit,” he groaned as she licked and kissed the head of him.
“Sweetie, I got a blanket in the back seat. Grab it so I can lay down for ya,” she said kindly. Gabriella stood. Jeff wasted no time reaching through the car window for the orange blanket.
They walked to the front of the cruiser. Gabriella spread the blanket out on the hood. Jeff stroked his erection as he watched her. She reached under her red skirt and pulled off her thong. She slowly stuffed them in Jeff’s front pocket. She pulled her red top with the straps over her D cups.
“Mmmm, what’s your name, sweetheart?” Jeff asked as he continued to stroke his meat.
“Gabriella,” she answered as she smashed her breasts together and winked at him.
He stopped stroking himself and smiled. “That’s a good name for you. You got beautiful tits, Gabriella.”
“Thank you,” she said in a flirtatious tone as she kept squeezing her tits together.
Jeff grabbed her hips and lifted her up. Gabriella giggled as she grabbed the Stratton to secure it on her head. He sat her on the hood and raised her skirt. She leaned back and opened her legs. Jeff guided his hard fatty around her vagina.
She giggled as his tip tickled her clit. Jeff beat the tip of his dick against her clit. The sensation made her wetter. She wiggled in response and moaned, “I see you’re a tease.”
Jeff chuckled and guided his dick to her entryway. He pushed in. She gasped at the sensation of his thick dick against her walls. Jeff eased in and out of her. Placing her hands on the car hood, Gabriella wiggled her hips.
Jeff groaned at her tightness. He picked up the pace and grabbed her hips.
“Ah, that’s it,” she moaned and closed her eyes. “I just love pleasing a man in uniform.”
He chuckled. “And you do a good job of it, sweetheart.”
Her breasts swayed to the rhythm as her black nipples hardened. Gabrielle’s breathing quickened as shimmers of pleasure sparked in her. She cried out as she clenched the blanket.
“Hmmm, you come pretty to,” he said and his breath caught. Deep moans echoed from Jeff’s throat.
Gabriella held onto her red skirt and waited for him. He pulled out of her to stroke his meat. He beat the tip of himself against her clit again, which made her writhe with pleasure. Sweat dripped from his hair and face. It wasn’t long before Jeff shot his juices over her thigh and vagina.
“Oh god,” he groaned as his head fell forward.
Gabriella rubbed his lotion into her skin.
Jeff let out a low whistle. “Damn. I needed that.”
“So did I,” she said seductively and sat up. She kissed him. Her tongue glided between his lips.
Jeff squeezed her breasts as they kissed in the desert heat.
------
An hour later, Gabriella sat on the hood of her car at the garage in town. She waited for Jeff to finish talking to the mechanic. Once he was done, he strolled over to her.
“Luke is going to replace your tire and give you an oil change - on me,” he said with a big smile.
Her mouth dropped open at his generosity. “Oh, no, I didn’t expect you to pay for my tire or an oil change.”
“Luke said you needed an oil change, and it’s my pleasure to pick up the tab,” he said with a smile still on his face.
She grinned. “You’ve done so much for me already.”
Jeff took his Stratton off her head and put it on his. “Just think of it as a satisfied gentleman making sure you have a safe trip.”
She laughed. “All right. Thank you, deputy.”
“And thank you, miss. Oh, I should return these to you,” he said and reached in his front pocket for the thong she had stuffed in there earlier.
She put the palm of her hand over his pocket. “No, lover, you keep those. A little something to remember me by.”
He chuckled. “It will be hard for me to forget fucking a young lady on the side of the road in the desert. But, I’ll treasure the keepsake.”
She giggled and tilted her chin up.
Jeff took the opportunity to press his mouth against hers. His wet tongue parted her lips.
He broke the kiss as quickly as he started it. He stood up straight and tipped his Stratton to her. “Goodbye, Gabriella. Maybe on your way back through we’ll bump into each other again.”
“I have no doubt that we will,” she said with a mischievous smile. “Goodbye, Jeff.”
He smiled and left through the open garage door.
Gabriella turned her head to see Luke standing four feet away with his mouth open and his blond eyebrows up.
She giggled at his expression.
Nick was in the locker room getting dressed for his shift when Goldman strolled in like the cat that ate the canary. He plopped down on a bench with a goofy smile on his face.“Ah, Dalton, you should take lessons from me when attending to women on the side of the road,” Goldman said with a big grin.Nick turned around. “You’re referring to my story about Jackie Garvey,” he said as he buttoned his deputy shirt.Goldman shook his head. “Yep. If you were as charming as me, it would have gone a lot differently for you.”“Let me guess. You met a good looking woman on the side of the road.”“Yep. A pretty young thing traveling through.”“Where was she headin’?”“Don’t know, but I do know she made a pit stop,” Goldman said and pulled a sky blue piece of cloth out of his front pocket.Nick wasn’t sure what it was until Goldman spread it out between his hands. Nick’s jaw dropped at the sight of the thong. “Are you crazy? You fucked a chick while you were on duty? What if the sheriff finds out?
Nick planned to settle in at home with a book. Tomorrow morning he was going to call the P.I. he had hired to help him find Ghost. There was a knock at the door. Nick opened it. It was the sheriff and Goldman. “Look alive, Dalton,” Goldman said loudly and entered the living room without being invited in. The sheriff walked in behind him. “Why do you have on boxers and a T-shirt?” Goldman asked. “Because it’s nine-thirty. I was about to go to bed,” Nick answered with annoyance. “On a Friday night? You’re off. We’re off. Get that pussy repellent clothing off, put on something decent, and let’s go,” Goldman demanded and plopped down on the couch. “We’ll wait. Won’t we, General?”The sheriff smirked and put his hands in his pockets. “And where are we supposedly going?” Nick asked. “Garvey’s,” Goldman answered. “What? On a Friday night? You’ve lost
Nick had to admit the wings were great. They quickly chatted about the town council meeting the sheriff had to attend earlier that day. The DJ came on to the mic. “Hey folks, we’re just a few minutes away from Garvey’s Annual Wet Nightie Contest,” the DJ said. Men whistled and hollered. “But, first we have a special treat. We have another Garvey girl in our midst. Give a big howdy a doo to Gabriella,” the DJ said. Everyone applauded as the lights dimmed and Gabriella appeared on stage. The girl could actually sing. Nick enjoyed it and Goldman definitely did. She gyrated and grinded to the beat. The sheriff looked down at his plate. “What’s wrong?” Nick asked over the music. “It’s a little uncomfortable for me to watch a young lady who’s going to be related to me gyrating on a stage half naked,” the sheriff answered and drank the rest of his beer. “I understand,” Nick
Nick’s mouth dropped open when he saw Jackie standing on stage. Her dark, natural curly hair cascaded down her shoulders. She wore a black teddy with black high heel shoes. Nick’s eyes widened at the sight of her. He knew the contest hadn’t started yet, but Jackie had to be the hottest woman in the room. Her long light hue legs and hips were magnificent. Nick felt a familiar twitch in his pants. It was rising. Jackie’s voice was like velvet on the mic. He continued to gawk at her. “Dalton!” Goldman yelled. Nick snapped out of the haze he was in. “What?” Goldman smirked. “Close your mouth.” He frowned at him. “Not bad for - what did you call her? A rigid anal repressive,” Goldman teased. Nick didn’t know what to say. “You may as well shake that bulge off. You said yourself, she hates you. You’re not getting any from her.” Nick felt an excitement that he hadn’
Jackie was a discrete creature by nature. She did not boast about her accomplishments or personal conquests. But this time – she had to. The next morning she told Jodi, Barbara, Becky, Trina, and Gabriella what had happened behind the station last night.The girls whaled with laughter.“I can’t believe you did that,” Gabriella said with tears in her eyes. “That sounds like something I would do.” She continued to laugh.“That’s what he gets,” Becky said with a smirk. “You’re not rigid. You’re detail oriented. That’s why this place runs as smoothly as it does.”Barbara and Jodi were still laughing.“I don’t know what’s funnier. That guy getting pissed when you started moaning Curt’s name or you calling him out afterward,” Gabriella said. “What was his name again?”“Nick Dalton,” Jodi answered between laughs. “Oh, sister, I always tried to warn people not to get on your bad side.”Jackie beamed proudly. “Yes, I have to say I handled both men with accurate precession.”Trina chuckled. “Po
It was Saturday night at Garvey’s. The customers were still talking about the wet nightie contest from last night. It was 9:30 p.m. Garvey’s wasn’t over capacity like it was last night, but the staff was still busy. Jackie helped Trina at the bar. Jodi helped Daniel in the kitchen. Gabriella waited tables with Becky and Sandy. Gabriella sat down a drink order for two men and two women at a booth. She turned to head back to the bar when she noticed Jeff Goldman and Nick Dalton walk in with three brunettes.The three brunettes were all over Nick. Jeff proudly grinned. Gabriella’s curiosity got the best of her. She put a smile on her face and headed in their direction. Jeff beamed when he saw her. “Hey, my little hot tamale.” Gabriella put her arm around his strong and solid waist. He placed his arm around her shoulders. They gave each other a half hug. “Hi. Back for some more fun?” she asked.“Absolutely,” Jeff said in a deep voice and gav
Nick had to admit, Goldman’s idea was genius. Nick had seen Jackie as soon as they hit the door. Her mouth had dropped open at the sight of him with the triplets. He also enjoyed the attention they were giving him.When they had made their way to the table, Jackie glanced up. It was quick, but Nick had caught it. When Bambi had plopped down in his lap, Jackie had squinted her eyes. It was working.Bambi fed him mozzarella sticks. Mandy got behind him and started massaging his shoulders. Candy scooted closer to them and started rubbing his hands. Nick should have started hanging out with Goldman on the weekends years ago.The triplets were friends of Goldman’s, of course. He met them in Houston when he had worked on the police force there. His tenure had been short, but he had the pleasure of meeting the sisters during a training exercise.Luck would have it, they were in Phoenix on a layover to L.A. Goldman had asked them to help Nick out with making the woman he really wanted jealous
It was 11:30. Nick, Jesse, Betsy, the sheriff, Goldman, Mandy, and Candy were still hanging out at the table. Trina had approached Bambi with a quick job offer. Apparently, a girl that was supposed to dance tonight didn’t show up and they were desperate. Bambi wasn’t sure at first, but Trina had assured her that it was a simple routine. There was also $200 cash in it for her. Nick had told her to do it if she wanted to. Two-hundred dollars wasn’t anything to sneeze at.Nick hadn’t seen Jackie for almost an hour. He hoped that he didn’t go too far. It wasn’t his intentions to run her off for the entire night. Then, Nick thought there might have been a real emergency at the front desk.The lights dimmed. Gabriella came on the stage. “Can I have everyone’s attention, please? We have a treat for you tonight.”Everyone looked at the stage.“For those of you who missed the wet nightie contest last night, we’re going to do an encore.”“Yeah!” Jesse yelled along with the other men who got exc
After Juan had left, Cindy had asked Mindy to grab items to put on her Nicolette persona before they left for Phoenix. Cindy wouldn’t tell her why. She had said they were going somewhere that she needed to see and it was a surprise. Five miles outside of Phoenix, Cindy stopped the SUV at a rest area, grabbed a bag out the back, and told Mindy she had to go to the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later, Cindy returned, but she didn’t look the same. Cindy had on a pile of make-up and a red-wig, and it wasn’t the red wig Mindy had given her. When Cindy got back in the car, Mindy asked what was going on and where were they going. Cindy begged her patience and assured her that everything would become clear. They were in the downtown area of Phoenix. They parked on the street. Cindy walked Mindy to a building that looked like it had glass for walls. They got on the elevator and went to the twelfth floor. There were two businesses on the floor; Grass
It was late Tuesday morning. Mindy was packing a gift basket. She was going to drop it off as she and Cindy rode out of town. Cindy wanted to go shopping in Phoenix. Of course, Mindy couldn’t afford to buy anything but she didn’t mind keeping Cindy company on her shopping trips. Cindy walked in. “Whoa,” she said as she took in the basket on the kitchen table. “That’s a big thank you.” “Well, it is from both us. Can’t have it skimpy,” Mindy said. Cindy shrugged and opened the refrigerator to retrieve a can soda. There was a knock on the back door. “Who in the world could that be?” Mindy asked. Cindy walked to the door and opened it. The man raised his head so they could see his face from under the wide brim baseball hat. “Hey, girls,” Juan greeted. “Juan, come in,” Mindy said with a smile. He darted inside and closed the door. “I parked my car two blocks away and walk
By the time Matt had found out what was going on, it was over. He and Jodi were having a hot romp in the kitchen when Patty tried to call him. He had left his cell in the living room.Two ambulances, the forensics van, two cruisers, and Williamson’s truck were outside. Matt and Jodi walked into Garvey’s bar. “Son of a bitch,” Matt sneered as he put his hands on his hips, taking it all in.Otto was taking pictures of the body on the floor. Goldman stood tall as he was taking notes while Mindy and Cindy Pandock sat at a table talking to him. Juan was sitting at the bar looking like he had never been more relieved in his life as Carter took his statement.“Oh my god,” Jodi said with a shocked look. “I’m going to check on Juan.”“All right, just don’t interfere with the questioning. I’m heading for the lobby to see what else is going on,” Matt said seriously.Jodi nodded and walked away.Matt strode to the lobby doors which were propped open. There was a body on a gurney covered by a shee
Tyrone told Juan how they had tracked Chip down in Chicago. It wasn’t hard. Chip had left a rowdy drunk trail so anyone who wanted to find him could. Tyrone described how they worked Chip over for thirty-six hours. After being beaten for that long anyone would tell what they knew. Chip had given Juan, Sam, and Zeke up. He had even told them where he hid his cut of the money. During the conversation, Tyrone had given the girls more change to play more tunes on the box. Just like before, Chavez had walked with them. When they returned, Ginger got back in the booth and Nicolette remained standing next to a table. She didn’t look as petrified as before. Tucker James had taken a seat at the table with Juan with the gun still on him. Juan guessed he got tired of standing just as much as Nicolette got tired of sitting. It wasn’t hard for Tyrone to track down Zeke either. At least Zeke didn’t lose his mind with the money. He was enjoying a comf
Juan had gotten Tyrone to chat a little. He got detailed about how Sam suffered before he died to Juan, Nicolette, and Ginger’s horror. Tucker even had the nerve to say that at least Sam wasn’t a rat - if it was any consolation to Juan. Now, he was talking to the girls as Nod Ya Head by Will Smith played on the jukebox. Chavez was bobbing his head to the song. “Are you two sisters?” Tyrone asked. “You look like you’re related.” “Cousins,” Nicolette choked out. “Ah,” Tyrone said with understanding. “It’s shame we didn’t meet under different circumstances. You two are cute. Oh, well, back to our friend Juan. So, Juan, where the hell is my twenty million dollars?” Mindy and Cindy’s eyes bugled. “I’ll tell you, but I have to know something first,” Juan said. “Yeah, what’s that?” Tucker said and put the barrel of the gun to Juan’s temple. “How’d you figure out it was us?” Juan asked ask he foug
Tucker had Juan sit down in a chair out on the bar floor. The silence made the situation more terrifying. Tucker pointed his pistol at his chest. How the hell did they figure out it was us? “Ladies, do you want to listen to some music,” Tyrone asked. “Huh?” Ginger said. “Music,” Tyrone repeated. “No reason for the situation to be unpleasant for you because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. What kind of music do you girls like?” Nicolette shrugged stiffly. “Some country and . . . I just started to listen to some hip hop lately.” “Okay,” Tyrone said as he nodded his approval. “What about you, babe?” he asked Ginger. “Same including R&B,” she answered. Tyrone dug into his pocket and pulled out some change. He took Ginger’s hand and placed the change in it. “Play some hip hop. I don’t like country music – oh, and no Eminem, Justin Bieber, or Justin Timberlake. I hate t
It was Sunday morning, and Juan was feeling pretty good despite what had happened last Sunday. No one in town or the surrounding areas knew about Sam being found dead at the hotel, which surprised Juan because he was sure the EMTs would have talked, but it didn’t seem like they had. Juan just thanked his lucky stars.Matt and his team were still working on Sam’s case. Forensics believed Sam’s death was an accident per cloth fibers that were found on his body and the ice bucket bag. Matt tended to agree based on the staff statements and security camera footage from the lobby and exit doors down stairs. He did have Juan come in to look at some of the footage that Matt found suspicious. Juan identified the two blondes Sam had been with. They had appeared to be in a hurry and they went out the side door exit. Juan only knew their first names. Matt had put in the Arizona state police database that they were wanted for questioning, but he didn’t suspect them of foul play. Sam’s valuables ha
Monday afternoon, Juan prepared himself for the verbal assault as he settled in the office with Jodi and Jackie. He had asked Matt not tell the twins about Sam Ellis. Matt had said that it should come from Juan since they still own a part of the business, so they had a right to know. Juan didn’t want them to know because he knew they would blame him somehow. Sam was Juan’s friend not some random guest off the highway. In the end, Juan had refused to call them about it and told Matt to do what he felt was right in regards to informing the twins. “What’s up?” Juan asked. “I think you know what’s up,” Jackie said. “Jackie, what happened yesterday couldn’t be avoided. I don’t know how you think I could have prevented -” Juan began. “Of course, you couldn’t stop it,” Jackie interrupted. “We came here to see how you were and how we can help.” “Yeah. You can’t stop someone who really wants to kill themselves – or partici
The forensics team combed the room over while Matt and Juan waited in a room across the hall, so Matt could take Juan’s official statement. Both room doors were propped open. Otto was able to just walk a few feet to give Matt immediate need to know information.Matt noted Sam’s license information on a pad so his license could stay in an evidence bag. Sam had one suitcase filled with clothes, normal toiletries in the bathroom, a bottle of aspirin, a hundred and fifty dollars in his wallet, a paper bag with eight thousand four and thirty dollars in it, no credit cards, a cell phone, a photo of a woman, a man, and three girls, a key chain with a car key, two regular keys, and a lock key, and a few business cards.“Do you know why he had so much cash on him?” Matt asked.“Sam still lived the life of a drifter,” Juan said. “Plus, he liked casinos. He stopped at a couple in Arizona before he came here. Probably had a good run.” “Hmm,” Matt mused. “Yeah, but to keep that much cash in your
