CHAPTER EIGHT

LILY

I’d never been in a bank robbery before and had to admit it was quite exhilarating, although the only reason I thought so was because Jack was there. Otherwise, it was a terrifying incontinence-inducing nightmare. I’d waited on Bozeman’s main street for over two hours, watching for Jack to come. I knew he would, for I was very sure of my investigation. In the past few weeks, I wasn’t the only Matthews who could play the detective. While Jack had grown a beard and his hair was overlong, I knew him anywhere. From the way his shoulders were back to the way he sat on a horse, even the angle of his hat, I recognized him. I didn’t remain and linger on the boardwalk, but entered the bank just a few minutes ahead of them, taking a seat at a small bench. When a teller came out to offer some assistance, I fanned myself, pretending to take a moment to cool down as I waited for my husband. The man made the assumption that my husband was a customer of the bank who did not allow his wife access to funds without him, not one of the soon-to-enter bank robbers.

It happened quickly, too quickly, although my mind was completely distracted at the sight of Jack. It had been six damn weeks and my body came alive being in the same room with him, even with guns waving in the air. When the outlaws argued over a hostage and Jack had grabbed me, I’d been momentarily stunned. It had been Jack’s rough handling that made me remember myself. I’d feigned anger and upset, and Jack had forced me—I went willingly so there wasn’t much true force—out into the late afternoon sunshine. He’d lifted me easily, unceremoniously dumped me upon his horse and climbed up behind me. I had barely time to set my dress to rights before we were moving.

As Jack had pointed out, I liked to chatter when nervous so I intentionally bit my lower lip to keep silent. I just reveled in the feel of his arms about me as he held the reins, although I had no idea where we were going. I’d half expected the cavalry, at least the town sheriff to be waiting outside for the outlaws, but that was not the case. The street was busy, but surprisingly no one paid us much mind. I knew it wasn’t smart to bring notice to us, for I knew Benson was one to shoot people without reason.

Jack had always been gentle with me—except the second time he’d fucked me when I told him not to hold back—but he wasn’t now. I felt fury vibrating from where his body was pressed against mine. His arm shifted about my waist and he held me snugly as the horses picked up their pace at the outskirts of town. His palm was large enough so his thumb brushed the underside of my breast with each bounce.

He didn’t speak at all and I didn’t dare say a word.
