TWICE THE PLEASURE
Jayce is a pretty face, a gambler, and
deadly. When a poker game goes bad, she is forced to flee and ends up in the
arms of a nefarious Mexican. Two dangerous, appealing strangers come to her
rescue. A gambler at heart, Jayce bets against the odds. Her sexual
attraction for both men is nothing but curiosity.
Forging into the forbidden pleasures of ménage a trois is not an easy
decision for Jayce. The Banner brothers' superior art of seduction becomes
too much even for her bluff. With the last hand dealt, Jayce realizes she
doesn't have an ace in the hole. Finally, unable to resist, she tosses in
her hand, succumbs to the allure of desire and lust, and takes the biggest
gamble of her life in the arms of twin pleasures.

Western Romance, M/F/M
Length: 79,270 words
"I have always been into watching old
western re-runs and have always wanted to write a story during that era
because I feel the big-screen and television don’t do it justice anymore, as
new western movies are few and far between. When I started thinking about
writing Twice the Pleasure, setting it in the western timeframe just
felt right. To add a twist, I made the heroine a gun-toting, gambling,
sassy-mouth female. I had such a blast writing Twice the Pleasure.
I hope you find twice the enjoyment reading the story. " ~ Carolina ~ |

EXCERPT
Jayce refused to give the men any satisfaction by showing fear.
She waited for the explosion of gunfire, but nothing happened, and she
wondered why. When The Rat turn attention to the boss, she
shifted her eyes in their direction.
“Boss?” The Rat asked. “Don't seem right shooting a woman in cold
blood.” All the others nodded in agreement.
It seemed a ludicrous thought, but apparently, the men didn't have
qualms about raping, but for whatever insane reasoning, killing
a woman was out of bounds, even for this gang.
The Mexican raised a gun and shot The Rat dead. Then he turned toward
Jayce. “I will kill the bitch myself, you worthless pieces of
coward shit!” he shouted.
This time an eruption of gunfire exploded.
Jayce dove for cover, falling to the ground, and watched as The Mexican
clutched his chest before dropping to his knees and then falling
over.
Another pop sounded, and then another. The gang scattered, and then
dived for cover, returning fire.
Two more men met their maker.
She watched as two men in black slacks and white shirts emerged from the
cover of trees and stepped into the clearing, as if they were
oblivious to the bullets whizzing all around them. Both raised
their pistols, taking aim and firing with precision.
The acrid scent of discharged weapons hung in the air. An eerie disquiet
settled over the area. Death tended to silence things.
The man in the black vest and Stetson turned in Jayce's direction, and
seeing the sudden movement snapped her out of the trancelike
state. Moving as quickly as possible, she scrambled toward the
rock where she left her clothing and guns, and then made a mad
dash.
As fast as she could, Jayce pulled on the blouse, and then attempted to
wiggle into the pants.
The man moved closer. “Heck,” she uttered, and then gave up on the idea
of getting dressed. She went for the guns having decided being
naked in front of the strangers suited the situation better than
not having a gun.
Jayce bolted for the pistols.
* * * *
She moved fast, a swift breeze, and with the agility of a sleek cat,
Gavin thought, watching the girl dive for the gun belt. He
considered the attempt to arm herself commendable, but that was
as far as allowances would go.
Before she could put a finger on the belt, he swooped it up and tossed
the leather strap over a shoulder. “I think you should calm down
before I allow a gun…or two in your hands.” He noticed the twin
pistols. Impressive. Then roving his eyes over the lush breasts,
and feeling the effect on his libido, he added, “Maybe you
should get dressed.”
Years attending a boarding school and an immaculate upbringing under the
tutelage of educators who taught the practices of being a
gentlemen required he did the proper thing. Gavin turned around
while the girl dressed.
Hastily, as quick as possible, Jayce finished dressing. Then she said,
“I'm done. My guns.” She held out a hand.
Gavin turned around, and the first thought that crossed his mind was
that she was just as stunning dressed as she was naked.
Appreciatively, his eyes appraised the shapely form, starting at
the top of auburn hair…down pass voluptuous breasts…further
still, he outlined the figure in a quick but thorough
assessment. The dark aureoles clearly visible beneath the damp
material of the blouse she wore left his mouth watering, and his
cock strained.
She took a cautious step forward and demanded. “My guns…now.”
Her sharp tone cause Gavin to give the pretty face his undivided
attention. “If I give you the guns, do you promise not to shoot
me, darling?”
“If you don't try to rape me, there is nothing to worry about.”
Gavin arched his eyebrows and then slanted them downward. “Au contraire,
I prefer a lady's acquiescence before I bed her,” he said, and
then added firmly, “I do not rape women. The thought is not only
incomprehensible but despicable.”
“Really now, that,” Jayce said pointing at the outline of swollen cock
unabashedly, “says differently.”
She apparently didn't have an embarrassed or reticent bone in that
pretty little body. She stared at his crotch with indifference
before boldly staring him in the face.
“I would be dishonorable if I told you there was no interest, but that
doesn't mean just because a man is aroused in the presence of
alluring beauty you should assume the worst. I'm not immature
enough I can't control my cock.” He stepped forward and held out
the gun belt.
A keen sense of awareness of her femininity surfaced again as her
slender fingers wrapped the belt around her waist, and it
settled over full hips. Then she stepped back a few steps, and
Gavin assumed she felt it necessary to put a safe distance
between them. Cautious and attractive.
“Unfortunately, though wounded, one of the men escaped. If I had to
hazard a guess, reinforcements will be here shortly. If you
don't mind, darling, we should be on our way.”
“I don't know what you have in mind, but if you think I intend to go
anywhere with you or your partner, you are mistaken.”
“You prefer to remain behind and face what could possibly be another
insurmountable force of men alone? That is not an intelligent
idea. If you ride with me and my brother, we can protect you.”
“I don't need your help. I ride alone,” Jayce said.
“Even though you are aware the odds are already against you?”
“It may not have looked like it a minute ago, but I can handle myself,
mister.”
She turned to walk away, and then Zane stepped into the path, causing
Jayce to freeze mid-step.
Gavin looked at his brother. “I'm afraid the lady is still nervous. She
does not trust us, but then under the circumstances I can't say
I blame her. Albeit, I have assured the lady we intend no harm.”
“Look, I appreciate the help back there, and you two coming to my
rescue, but I can manage things from here.”
Zane spoke with casual indifference, “That is not a wise decision, but
if it is her preference then it would be improper to force the
issue. Don't you think, Gavin? We need to ride out. The sooner
the better.”
Gavin didn't think his brother's words abrupt, but Zane clearly made it
known he wasn't waiting around for the girl to make a decision.
He made a valid point. The ground trembled denoting a large
number of riders were coming. Fast and furious, and heading
straight in their direction.
Turning to the girl, Gavin said, “I wish you would reconsider, but as my
brother said, we don't intend to force the issue if you wish to
go it alone. However, keep in mind only six idiots found you
this time. The next it could be more, and even though you carry
two guns, darling, is that enough against such a force? Even I
wouldn't take such odds.”
“I don't scare easily,” Jayce quipped.
Gavin bowed graciously, and then said, “Adieu, darling.” He walked away
wondering how long it would take the lady to see reason. They
would ride out and keep a steady but decent pace so that when
the girl stopped being unreasonable, it wouldn't be difficult to
catch them.
He mounted his horse and then clicked, setting the Black into motion. He
looked over at Zane. “I was wondering how long it will take the
lady to come around to seeing it is ridiculous to go it alone.”
Zane kept pace with his brother's horse. “If the lady is as astute as
pretty, I suspect she should be joining us shortly. Why do you
think I haven't spurned my mount to a faster gallop?”
Gavin grinned. “I didn't think you intended to leave the lovely to fend
for herself even though you gave the indication of such. That
would have been gauche of you, brother. Thankfully, my faith in
your infallible nature to be proper is restored.”
“I believe I hear the sound of a horse approaching,” Zane said.
Gavin look over his shoulder seeing the lone rider beating a path in
their direction. Purposely, both brothers slowed the horses down
to an easy stride.
“My belief that beauty and astuteness are not synonymous is no longer a
valid argument, I'm afraid. Not that both attributes need be
present for me to have an interest in the fairer sex, but it is
a refreshing twist that has my curiosity peaked.”
“Of course. And the nice breasts and round ass have absolutely nothing to
do with it. Right?” Zane asked, grinning. “I know your general
requirements where the ladies are concerned. Unquestionable
obedience, and to be very receptive in bed.”
“True. True.” Gavin couldn't deny that.
The two brothers
parted ways and allowed the lady to move in between them, as if
it was where she belonged. Then without warning--they didn't
doubt the lady's ability to keep pace--they spurned the horses
into breakneck speed and raced over the landscape in hopes of
putting a nice distance between them and the band of riders
thundering in their direction.
