Chapter 18

Riverton is busy. Craig didn’t stop to enjoy the saloon or the women at the whore house with their powdered breasts and painted faces. He grabs a young boy by the arm when as he walks by.

“What’s your name?”

“Jared, Sir.”

“Where can I buy a horse, Jared?”

“The livery, sir, just two streets over,” he points. Craig presses a coin into his hand and grins at the child’s excitement. “Anything else I can help you with, sir?”

“Yes, I’m looking for information about a Doctor Harris Rivers that might have come through. It will pay well. Can you handle that?”

“Yes, sir. I know where to get information.”

“Excellent, Jared. I’ll be at the livery,” Craig strides off.

Sunset in Riverton is busy. He stomps through the snowmelt determined to get a fresh horse and transfer his gear. An hour later, Jared rushes in, grinning with success.

“What’ve you got for me, Jared?”

“Miss Beverly French is a waitress at the Rollins House Hotel. She said Dr. Rivers was here a week ago.” Jared grins as Craig tosses him two more coins.

“Good work, Jared. Thank you.” Jared runs out, and Craig grins as he smokes. “I think I’ll take a room at the Hotel, brother. Maybe have a bath and dinner.”

Craig enters the Hotel with a glance around. Beautifully appointed with wallpaper and chandeliers, the lobby is a decadent display. He glances down at his snow-covered boots and grins at the young women glancing at him with disdain behind the desk.

“Can I help you, sir?” she asks quickly.

“I sure hope so, Miss?” he asks as he pulls out a handful of twenty-dollar gold coins.

“Beverly French,” she says with a slow smile.

“A lovely name, Miss French,” he lifts a gold coin and steps close to her, glancing down at her plump cleavage teasing him. “I need a room with a view and a hot bath. Think you can help me with that?”

“Absolutely,” Beverly grabs a key and speaks to a porter behind the desk before joining Craig.

“The Rollins House prides ourselves on providing for all of our guests needs. We have a suite with a private bathing room. It is sixteen dollars a night.” Craig tucks two gold coins into her cleavage and grins at her swift inhale.

“Perfect, Miss Beverly French, lead the way.”

“Right this way, Mr.?”

“Call me Craig, Beverly.” Craig saunters behind her, admiring the sway of her lush hips and smiles at his brother, beside him, and murmurs, “Of course, I’m gonna share. Don’t I always.”

“Did you say something?” Beverly asks as she shows him to the steps.

“No, just admiring the view.” Beverly giggles and hurries up the stairs.

“You’re on the second floor, facing the gardens. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the view. It has a private bathing room.” She opens the door to the suite and walks inside to light the lanterns. “Would you like a shave with your bath?”

“Are you offering, Beverly?” He asks removing his hat to drop it on the table.

“I..,” Craig moves into her space and grabs her waist with both hands.

“I’d gladly sit for you while you tend to me, Beverly,” he teases and bends to smell her neck.
