Lean Stroud is wanted for robbery and a murder he didn't commit. On the run to California with his partner-in-crime, Kenneth, he spots the relentless bounty hunter, Thomas Grady, on the train. The only way to protect Kenneth is to create a distraction, and that's what he does when he flees the train at the top of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. He forces Thomas to chase him, but nothing can prepare him for what it means to be caught.<br><br>Thomas Grady always gets his man, and Leon Stroud is no exception to that rule. But almost from the moment Thomas touches Leon, he wants the outlaw for something besides his bounty. Driven by desire he doesn't understand, he repeatedly claims Leon's body on the long journey from Soda Springs to San Francisco -- and Leon only begs for more. An even bigger threat, with a larger bounty, could be the very thing they need to drive them together. Or tear them apart.

Stealing West

The decision was made for him when Leon started to lift his hips to meet each thrust. Small groans came from his throat, dragged out into multiple syllables when Thomas drove into him. His hands kept fluttering and his shoulders constantly strained. Thomas had no idea why. Maybe he was trying to reach his own cock in order to jerk off. Maybe he was trying to grab Grady’s ass to make him fuck harder.


Either way, Thomas wasn’t about to let him go.


Thomas had tried to remain silent earlier, but now he didn’t let anything block his grunts and audible gasps. He put his other hand on the ground to brace himself as he increased his tempo. The fact that Leon kept rising to meet him, kept moaning for more, just encouraged Thomas to continue. For a moment, he envisioned the hundreds of miles between them and San Francisco—a journey that would take no more than a day by train. In that moment, he didn’t think he was willing to lose Leon so quickly.
