He settles into the gold camp of Whiskey Slide to work with two other men in an effort that barely yields enough to keep them alive. With merchants charging exorbitant prices for provisions, it’s said men dig for food, not gold.<br><br>After hardship and disappointment, Jesse moves to another camp, Dutch Flat, where he takes up with the stern and silent Abel Munday.

Together, they just might be able to fine something richer than gold.

Lust for Gold

I give him my best, using everything I learned while working on that Missouri ranch. Cowhands taught it all to me. That bunkhouse was pure wallow.


In no time, Abel is bucking and coming, letting go a roar with his load. I drink it down, eager for all of him I can get, and once he’s done, I keep on him, caressing his soft cock until he finally pulls away.


He rolls onto his back, and I grow bold and sit beside him. When he doesn’t chase me off, I lean down and kiss his cheek. He doesn’t respond, doesn’t move, not even a twitch. So I give him a light kiss on the lips. This is it, I think as I do it. He’ll either be pleased or kill me.
