Chapter 12

Luca

The room was still dark when he woke. He disentangled himself from Nyssa’s arms and legs which clung to him like a loving vine. His body ached from the fight.

Dreven was no lightweight. Thankfully the man would never threaten Nyssa or the town again. He emptied his bladder, sighing with relief, and chuckled when water swirled in the commode. It had been years since he’d seen a real flushing commode.

Nyssa sought his warmth the instant he returned to bed, her arms and legs twining around him again. He buried his face in her hair which had grown a few inches longer. His hand found her belly, resting gently on there.

The thought of having a child with her made him feel whole. He slept. When he woke a bright ray of light fell through the curtains onto the floor. His stomach grumbled and Nyssa’s round ass was pressed right against his groin.

Luca kissed her neck, covering her body with his own. He wanted her again, already, even after having her twice last night. There would be time for that later. “Wake up. We have business to attend to.”

The warmth of her petite body and the pressure of her arms about his neck brought a smile. Luca realized he smiled more since Nyssa came into his life than he had in years.

“I’m sleepy,” she yawned.

“Let’s turn things over to Pritchard so we can go home,” he replied. Almost immediately he nuzzled her neck and ear. The action elicited Nyssa’s moan.

“You know what that does to me.”

“Yep, every time. Come on, get up.”

The changing of the guard was an informal ceremony, if it could be called that. Luca and Nyssa stood on the hotel’s porch with the Snake Eyes gang and every resident in Walden gathered in the street. Pritchard stood at Luca’s side.

Luca wasn’t much for speeches, so he opted to keep the changing of the guard short. He shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other but calmed when Nyssa’s hand came to rest against his lower back.

“Look, I’ll be honest, folks. I’m not much on being in the limelight. Pritchard is in charge from this point forward. I’ll drop by a few times a year to make sure things are going okay. Dreven is not allowed within town limits. Anyone found aiding or colluding with him will be ostracized just as he was. If you have problems Pritchard can’t handle, send a messenger to One-Eyed Jack’s farm about three hours west of here. He’ll find me.”

There was a rumble of conversation before the crowd dispersed. Pritchard shook his hand. “Thanks for the vote of confidence, boss. I won’t let you down. You take care of this lovely lady here.”

“I plan on it,” Luca laughed. “Take care, Pritchard.”

Walden, its memories, its people--all faded behind them as they walked to the east. They made it back to the cabin before the sun crested its zenith in the sky. It was cold, but not the bone-chilling cold that usually came with winter. The sun graced a cloudless sky.
