Into The Lair 0f Los Rey Lobo: Wildes 0f The West (Half Breed Haven Book 9)

As they galloped away from the town on Doggett’s mustang, Daniella clung behind the big man.
“I thought you were dead! The blonde was sure that it was your body torn to shreds by the bear just before … just before it killed Carlos!” she called over his shoulder as her black hair whipped around her head.
He looked back and gave her a gapped-tooth smile, “It was after me. Was just about to get me, too, when out of nowhere Rex Johnson showed up just returning from the prospecting hole he was checking for a borax deposit near The Rift. It got him and started tearing him up, giving me a chance to escape into the woods behind the mission!”
“I thought I was going to die today.”
“Sorry I had to wait so long. First, I had to wait for my arm to heal, that son bitch grizzly did manage to lay one of its paws on me. Then I had no choice but to be watching and waiting for just the right moment to spring you. With the whole town at the hanging, I knew it was the best and last chance I had to save you!”
Not many things in the world moved Daniella, but the man’s loyalty nearly made a lump form in her throat.
“I cannot thank you enough.”
“No need to thank me, Countess. Just from now on it’s a fifty-fifty partnership in whatever we do!”
Daniella looked behind them and saw the town had nearly faded from view. By the time the deputy's body was discovered, and the town alerted to the jailbreak, they would lose themselves in the foothills and get away. She turned her head back and pressed it against Dogget's back for a moment.
“That shall be so. Together we will rebuild the wealth that I have lost thanks to these Wilde sisters! And then someday …”
Dogget snuck a glance over his shoulder again.
“Someday what?”
“Someday that blonde whore and I shall meet again, and I shall start what I finished. I will see Carlos avenged and Cassandra Wilde dead!”
The pair galloped on towards where the setting sun was dipping behind the foothills that loomed before them, and as she had finished her threat, for a second or, so an icy chill swept over the Nevada desert country.

Casually, Cassandra leaned against the railing of the veranda and listened to Juan finish his story of the lost treasure of Montezuma.
"There are those who persist in the notion that it lies buried somewhere to the north. Just waiting for the day, it is rediscovered. I take no stock in that notion of course," Juan said.
“Still, there is no denying that there was a battle here,” Cassandra pointed out.
“Yes, the river ran red with the blood of the Spanish and Aztecs alike, so the name remains to this day … I see you are cold, Cassandra. Come now, let us retreat within the villa,” Juan said, and Cassandra knew he had noticed her shiver. She did not mention she wasn’t cold. The shiver was her response to the beautiful river below having once ran red with blood.
They made their way down from the bell tower and into the residential part of the villa. They came to a hallway, and he stopped in front of two magnificent double doors with artistic engraving.
"You must be tired after your day's ride. This room will be yours, and the next one will be Catalina's," Juan told her with a gracious smile.
“Thank you, but you do know that Cattie and I could share a room,” She informed him.
“Nonsense. There are more empty rooms in this home than I care to count. Perhaps someday, when I find a beloved, I could fill them with family. For now, it is only I and my younger brother and sister,” he said as if revealing a longing he had.
“There is nothing like family. Nobody knows that more than I.” Cassandra told him.
“Yours is unusual, is it not?” he asked.
“To the outside, perhaps, but the six of us grew up side by side. To us there are no colors, no different races, just family that love each other beyond all measure, Juan,” she told him proudly.
“Admirable,” Juan responded with a nod. She nodded in return.
“Well, to you I promise that Cattie and I will do everything we can to stop this madman and keep you and yours safe. So, from what you said, I gather your parents are no longer in this world?” she asked softly.
“Si, we are all that is left,” he said. Cassandra could understand how the subject of deceased parents would be awkward, so she gestured to the banners over the doors.
“Those banners, they are very beautiful, what do they stand for?” she asked of the red and white hangings.
“Those are banners of the house of Canizzara. In the days of Cortez every noble house had its own banners as well as its own colors,” he said and held up his hand to show her a ring. It had four squares, two red and two white.
“See this ring, Señorita? Tradition and custom decree that the head of the house must always wear such a ring. Each house has distinct colors. Mine happens to be red and white. Enough of this history, it is late,” he said. Cassandra grinned.
“That’s the second time you mentioned that, but I am accustomed to making do with little sleep. There are other ways I might prefer to spend my time just now,” Cassandra admitted. Juan showed interest.
“Is there?” he asked with a slow smile.
"You remember what I said about making do with what pleasurable circumstances you can make for yourself? I say we make some pleasure for ourselves. You suffered a terrible loss in the murder of your friend …" Cassandra took his hand and drew close to his mouth. "Let me give you comfort for a while," she said and kissed him eagerly. His lips were soft and arousing to her. They broke apart, and he smiled.
“I have never shared passion with an American before. Are all the women as alluring and forthright as you are, Cassandra?” he asked.
“Not a chance, we Wildes are a special breed of women,” she told him mischievously.
“Then it seems this vile El Segador has done one positive thing and that is to bring you into my path, Cassandra Wilde,” he said holding her hands closely. Cassandra leaned into him.
“I said something like that to my sister on the way down here. Now then Señor, why don’t you show me the master bedroom,” she said in a sultry voice that just came out of her when she was interested in someone. He swept her off her feet and carried her down the hall. He kicked open his door and continued to a massive, luxurious bed. Laughing, they tumbled onto it with Cassandra now feeling her usual urgency and eagerness coming over her.
He quickly undid her blouse and trousers while she opened his pants, with much pleasure. Anticipation always got her juices flowing, but it was game time now. She slid her hands up his shirt, enjoying the feel of his manly chest as he caressed her womanly assets. Cassandra moaned with her rising need for his lovemaking and they kissed, exploring each other's body with their hands and lips. He rolled her over, so he was on top and buried his face into her breasts, and she arched her back to accept his offerings of lust.
"You are an exceptional woman, Cassandra Wilde. Never have I encountered such bounty from endeavors such as this," he said hoarsely, bending his head again to taste her own offerings. She laughed and while holding him to her tight with one arm her other hand slid down to his attribute between his legs. He gasped, and she rolled him on his back, so she was on top.
“You have no idea what you are in for, Señor! But you are about to find out!” ***
