Chapter 19

Caesar was confronted with no problem in quietly slipping into the town, even though the shadows had only begun to grow long. The sinking sun's light still glowed brightly on the horizon as the massive german shepherd sought himself a vantage point of hiding and froze into immobility, watching the furor and waiting.

Human males chaotically stumbled about the central place where speeding things sat unmoving and many waiting horses awkwardly stomped and shied. Occasionally, they whinnied, their eyes uneasy to the human clamor about them. Patiently, the powerful dog evaluated. He read the meaning of the long things that were man-formed of iron and wood, knowing the ugly flame they belched and the painful death they brought. Humans roared their communicative sounds to one another with loud, ugly throats as they staggered toward the frightened horses. Caesar saw the brute- man then, and seconds later, he, of the golden one!

Carefully, the massive wild dog appraised. He quickly read the animosity between the two male humans, the brute-man's throat- roars unnatural, as if he had eaten of the wild grass that distorted the instincts! He was waving his limbs and roaring, while the golden-one's human mate stood quiet and tall. Then, the brute-man turned away, the others with him, to climb onto the restless horses while his golden female's companion stood unmoving... !

Intuitively, Caesar was aware that he had been right! What he and the grey-one had done to she, of the sheep, had brought this about. But he had no concern for the welfare of his pack this night; he had concealed them well and left them with ample food. They would lie well-hidden from the cruel marauding of the brute-men and his wild-pack... !

A cracking sound that sharply rent the ending day caused Caesar's reflexes to instantly tense! Even as they did, he saw the fire spurt from one long thing and another male human clutch at his upper-leg, reeling and almost falling from the recoiling horse! Humans rushed toward him, including the golden-one's he, catching him before he fell, while others led by the brute-men, tore the long thing away from the unsteady male, pulling him, too, from a horse!

This, the keen-instincted german shepherd knew was not meant to be! Confusion dominated once more! He sensed his sleek muscles relaxing. He would wait and watch; there was ample time before he went to the sleeping place of his golden mate!

"What does it mean, Mark?" Jean anxiously questioned. "Will they call the posse off?"

"I'm hoping to hell they'll get some sense after that," Mark sighed, gazing down at his blonde-haired wife's concerned face, then uncontrollably letting his eyes rake downward over her curvaceous young body so provocatively outlined by the thin, satin sheet. Christ, he'd like to crawl in there with her for at least ten minutes... !

"We shouldn't waste any time, Mark," Steve Foster clipped his thoughts short. "You said you wanted to check with Doc Emory on how bad Abe was hurt..."

"Yeah... yeah, we better get going," the big deputy agreed, tearing his eyes from his voluptuously outlined young wife.

"What about your dinners?" Carol put in. "You characters think that I've been cooking for the fun of it... ?"

"Sorry, Baby," Steve said, grabbing his wife and planting a fast kiss on her mouth. "This is the biggest story I've ever covered!"

"Well, bully for you! I hope you starve to death... !"

Jean said: "Mark, when will you be home?"

He bent and kissed her, then, in a soft voice: "Damnit, I don't know, Baby. I was hoping that this accidental shooting would halt these liquor-crazed men... but instead, it's just fired them more! They're claiming if it wasn't for the wild pack, Abe Reynolds would never've been shot! They're like a bunch of animals out there... and I've got to do everything I can to keep them from going into those hills... !"

"Mark, please?" his luscious, blonde wife pleaded. "I need you tonight, really need you!" she almost whimpered, wrapping her arms around his neck. "If I ever needed you... it's tonight, Darling... !"

"Honey, Honey... Christ!" the young deputy gasped, untangling himself from her grip. "If I could, I would stay with you, Baby... but I can't! You've got to understand... at least, try! These drunken maniacs... someone could get killed out there tonight! I've got to do my best to stop them! Please, Baby... try to understand... ?"

And then, he was upright, ignoring her and looking at his watch.

"What time is it?" Steve anxiously questioned.

"Almost nine. Doc should have the bullet out of him by now," Mark replied. "We better get back there..."

"I'm still going with them if they ride, Mark!" the red- bearded writer said. "You understand... ?"

"Forget it. Let's keep them from killing each other if we can... !"

The two wives remained silently by, one staring from her bed, the other near her as they gaped at the empty doorway, listening to their respective husbands leave the house without further word to them.

"Are you hungry, Baby?" Carol, with a touch of rising anticipation to her voice, asked.

"I-I was, but... but..."

Carol smiled. "I understand, Honey. Me too, though I don't know why. By this time, I should think we'd both be familiar with this sort of evening."

"D-Do you really ever get used to their being gone at all hours?" Jean wondered aloud, terribly upset that her young husband hadn't realized the importance of her physical need for him tonight above everything. God... had she made a mistake in marrying him, even loving him as she did? "N-Never knowing where they are... when, or if, they're coming home... ?"

"Hmmmpff... after a couple years of marriage to an idiot- writer like I've got, you get damned well used to it," the willowy brunette replied, though with a little smile of deep affection radiating in her incandescent eyes. She reached down then with one soft hand and gently grazed her fingertips along Jean's smooth cheek. "Anyway... I'm just as pleased to have you all to myself tonight, Baby."

A sensuous tremor of arousal fluttered through the tormented young wife's thinly covered curves at the warm contact and the undeniable meaning behind her dearest friend's words. She smiled upward with quickly incited desire at the sparkling-eyed girl, tenderly... needingly, taking her slender hand and brushing her soft cheek with it. "I... I love that thought, Carol darling! I really love it!" she throatily whispered.

The supple, raven-haired Carol, felt a shiver of delight ripple upward along her spine. God... should she? Should she... ! At what cost... ? Yet, she heard herself say, "Beautiful, Baby... I'm disgusted with the thought of eating, too! Let the damned roast-beef harden into a nice, fat lump for them!"

"T-There's better things to eat than roast-beef..." Jean pointedly rasped, almost blushingly shying her eyes from the other's heated gaze.

The darling! The beautiful, luscious creature, Carol ardently thought! God almighty... was it really going to happen... after all these years? She swallowed tightly, and said: "I-I thought maybe I'd undress and get in beside you... that we could trade a few more intimate secrets, Baby... amongst other things... that is if you're sure you'd like to..."

"Oh... oh, God yes! I'd like... want that, Carol darling! I do... I do!" Jean enthusiastically whimpered, once more brushing her silken-skinned cheek against her beautiful friend's soft, warm hand, while the persistent sensations gnawing hotly down at her loins and belly quickly fanned the bed of banked coals into sensuously licking flames!

Caesar lingered long enough to see them assemble once more, climb onto the fear-filled horses and ride away with the brute-man leading them, though he cared little. He then watched his golden- mate's human male disappear into his speeding thing and swiftly leave toward the hills. Momentarily, he wondered at the human intellect!

The streets lay deserted before him. No posted humans guarded as in the past. Had he chose, his pack could hunt and ravage at will! He instinctively knew these things as he trotted along familiar ways toward his destination, unfathomable arousal mounting within his massive, feral body as he approached the shelter of his golden mate. Then, he saw the glow from the glass opening... saw that the glass was raised as if in open invitation and moved stealthily toward it!

Soundlessly, Caesar placed his forepaws on the sill and raised himself. He saw them then, his golden-haired one and she of the fired-eyes and hungry lips who had pleased him so well with her mouth the other night! They lay beside one another on the sleeping place, very close, entwined, even their mouths meeting and clinging, and they were both uncovered beneath the white cloth. Their legs squirmed, their feeling portions moving over each other's young-feeding mounds, the sibilant sounds reaching him from them letting the mighty animal know that warmth and affection existed between them!

Excitement at the visual closeness of their association hotly inspired him! The powerful animal licked at his chops as natural fervor flushed in his vigorous loins! Soundlessly, he eased up through the opened way, still laving his long, saliva-moistened tongue over his opened mouth as he stared at the unaware female humans!

Jean saw him before he ever whimpered! "Caesar... darling!" she gasped, tearing herself free and sitting upright to hold her arms wide open as the great dog leaped onto the bed and moved forward to affectionately lick his tongue over her happily smiling face!

"Oh my beautiful baby!" she gasped, hugging his medallioned neck tightly, which Carol, sitting erect beside her, smiled as if a long lost lover had just come home!

"God!" the naked, willowy brunette gasped. "He's so beautiful!"

"Yes, Yes!" Jean hissed, flattening the resilient white mounds of her whitely bared breasts against him, kissing his huge furry head and passionately clinging to him. "He's the most beautiful creature in the whole world!"

"I know... I know... I think I love him, too!" Carol throatily exclaimed, running her slender hand over the mighty animal's darkened mane, both girls the more incited by their stimulating nakedness they had sensually stripped each other to in their mounting, sexual desires!

"Oh, you sweet darling... you've come to love me, haven't you?" Jean uncontrollably breathed. "Haven't you, my lover?"

Carol heard the mighty beast whimper, almost as if he understood Jean's words! God, it was unheard-of... but she knew it was so! Subconsciously, she stroked a hand over the smoothly rounded firmness of her own full breast, thrilling to the feel of its tingling, hardened little nipple; then, she said: "Do it, Darling! Get up on your knees so he can do it to you from behind! That's why he's come! He... he wants to fuck you!"

Carol's lustful words raked through Jean's passion-infused brain like white-hot barbs! "Yes... yes... that's what he wants, isn't it! To... to fuck me like he's done before!" she gasped hotly, the sound and using of the luridly graphic, four- letter word like a bellows to the licking flames in her trembling belly and feverishly moistened loins! She scrambled about in the bed, quickly getting onto hands and knees, unhesitatingly spreading her long white legs and full young thighs wide apart toward him! Lowering her head and shoulders, she eagerly looked back from her obscenely assumed position to see her animal-lover's glowing amber-eyes fixed on the white, upthrusted mounds of her lewdly offered buttocks!

"I'll help!" Carol licentiously exclaimed, getting onto her own knees beside the heavily-breathing young blonde wife. "Come on, Caesar, Darling! Up... up and fuck our Jeannie! She needs your cock so badly tonight, Lover!" the intensely aroused brunette invited, gently patting Jean's soft, smoothly upturned buttocks. Then, with self-gratifying salaciousness, she moved closer, leaning over Jean and facing Caesar to embrace the white, fully rounded moons. With soft hands and extended fingers that met in the smooth creamy crevice, Carol excitedly spread apart even further the lush ovals of her friend's warmly yielding young ass- cheeks! "You see, Darling?" she huskily addressed the huge, watching dog, her eyes alive with burning delight as they feasted on Jean's lewdly exposed vaginal split!

Eagerly, Carol pulled at the resilient white moons until the tiny puckered mouth of her blonde girl friend's pink anus was slightly gasping, opening and closing teasingly before her! She locked her hungry dark eyes on the golden, curl-fringed lips of Jean's flushed cunt, watching them moistly separate to reveal the intimate wetness of its hot, pink inner-flesh! "Th-There, Darling!" she rasped sensuously, the delectably firing sight touching off wild sensations in her own churning belly and smouldering loins! "Let me get it all slicky and ready for you!"

Jean squealed out her sigh of delight as she felt Carol's warm, damp tongue licking down through the wide-spread crevice of her naked buttocks, pausing to lovingly brush and stab with the hotly searing tip of it at the tiny mouth of her anus before moving further down to the passion-inflamed opening of her widely exposed vagina! Again, Jean whimpered out as Carol's enticingly moving tongue splayed open the blood-swollen lips of her warmly seething pussy, licking wetly, over and through the hot electrified flesh to the hardened bud of her tiny erect clitoris! There, she played long enough to raise additional moans of gasping pleasure from Jean who was frantically trying to look back over her shoulder with mouth open wide and watch it all from her obscenely kneeling position!
