JOHNNY MAJORS STRETCHED, FEELING the ripple of muscles up and down his back. He got out of bed and moved in the dark toward a chair in one corner of the bedroom where his clothes had been thrown down in hasty disarray. As he buttoned his shirt he looked across at the woman’s nude form sprawled on the bed, her black body still glistening from their heated lovemaking. She said softly, “It early yet. You don’t have to go.”

“Ten to eight,” he said, struggling into his jeans. “Old lady’ll be wonderin’ where I am. Someday she gonna go over to the Landfall and see I ain’t there and then what gonna happen?”

“You scared?” she asked; a mocking question she knew would get to him.

“No. Hell, no. But I smart too. I ain’t gonna play her to the limit.” He zipped his fly and buckled his belt.

“Cale and Langstree won’t be back ’til tomorrow sometime. You could spend the night.”

He grinned, his teeth gleaming in the darkness. “The hell you say. If your man found us here in the mornin’ … uh uh, no. And my old lady wouldn’t be so damn happy about it neither. No, baby, we got to play it smart. There enough of you for both me and Cale.”

“Mebbe not,” she said petulantly, drawing herself up on the pillows, her heavy breasts hanging over the sheet.

He came and sat on the bed beside her. “Hey. Your old man and Langstree’ll have more trips to make. Hell, he’s gone most all the time as it is now. So …” He stroked the smooth flesh between her breasts. “Damn me, you’re a fine woman, Nora,” he said in a husky voice.

“I need you to stay with me, Johnny. I don’t like to be alone at night.”

Leaning over, licking beneath a nipple, he realized he was hard again, but he couldn’t spend the time. He had been with Cale’s wife for over an hour tonight, and two hours the night before; there was no use in pressing his luck. But damn, what a woman she was. She twisted those soft, beautiful hips a thousand different ways when he was inside her, wringing him out and exhausting him and driving him wild with excitement. But Christ Almighty, if that sonofabitch Cale ever found out his woman was making time there’d be hell to pay. …

She reached out to cling to him, her hands grasping his belt buckle, but he stood up and moved away. “No, baby, no. I got to go now.” He slipped his shoes on. “There’ll be more times.”

She smiled at him seductively and he looked at her appreciatively—she was still warm and glowing from the merging of their heated flesh. He stood over by the room’s single window, the moonlight streaming in through a broken red shutter. When he bent down to lace his shoes she saw something, a brief glimpse of a dark form moving past the window. She sat up in bed, catching her breath in a sudden gulp of air.
