Chapter Nine

‘Bodie it’s a good thing you’ve got a hard head!’

Bodie didn’t bother to speak but he agreed with Sherry’s observation. The clout on the skull had left him with a pulsing headache and a three-inch gash. Apart from that he was slowly beginning to feel human again. Sherry’s ministrations were helping his recovery no end. She’d had him brought to her room, over one of the stores, and had tended to his wound herself. Bodie had slept through the night and with the rising of the sun had woken to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sight of Sherry moving about the small room completely naked. On hearing him stir she had filled a china mug with coffee, sweetened it and brought it to him.

‘Somebody must have it in for you, Bodie,’ she said.

Bodie tasted the coffee, letting the strong brew flow down his throat and warm his insides. ‘Me and Jim Kelly,’ he said.

Sherry shuddered at the memory. The movement caused her breasts to quiver, half-erect nipples puckering. ‘It was horrible. I’ve never seen a man killed before. He didn’t even look human. They said it must have been a shotgun. Both barrels fired up close.’

Why hadn’t they killed him? The question kept thrusting itself forward in his mind. He answered it logically. Maybe because they only wanted Jim Kelly. Gamblers often made enemies. Men who had lost money. Maybe more. Bad losers. There were any number of reasons why Jim Kelly might have been killed. But the thought still nagged. Even if Kelly had been the target Bodie could have been a witness. If Bodie had been in the killer’s place he wouldn’t have left behind a man who might possibly be able to point a finger.

‘You want some more coffee?’ Sherry asked. Bodie handed her the mug and watched her cross the room, hips swaying gently, buttocks jutting firm and round.

‘Anything else I can get you?’ she asked over her shoulder.

Like excited? Bodie thought as he watched her. He glanced down at the other half of the big bed, noticing the rumpled sheet. A wry grin touched his lips. Damnation, he thought. There he’d gone and spent the night in bed with her and all he’d done was sleep! He felt himself hardening at the thought. He became aware, too, that he was naked.

‘You have help last night?’ he asked as Sherry brought his refilled mug to the bedside. She placed it on a small table close by and stood frowning down at him, hands on her supple hips. ‘Getting my boots off and all, I mean!’

Sherry smiled, a mocking twinkle in her eyes. ‘What makes you think I need any help in getting a man undressed?’ She sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned in towards him, the rising tips of her breasts brushing his chest. ‘In fact it was fun, Bodie. You know what I mean?’

‘Appears to me the fun’s all been going one way.’ Bodie remarked.

‘Then how about getting it to change direction?’ Sherry murmured huskily.
