Page 26 of Small Town Beast 2: Saverin's Duet

Tanya inhaled.

“What?”

“So that wasn’t a dream?” she squeaked.

“No, Tanya. You just won the motherfuckin’ powerball.”

Tanya buried her face in the pillow and screamed, “I’m rich!”

“I know, Cleopatra. Get dressed.”

Laughing, she kicked out her legs and rolled around in the bed. The sight of her tits slipping out from under the blanket made his tongue heavy in his mouth.

Saverin buttoned his jeans over his thickening erection and watched her get dressed. Tanya was too tired to sense his eyes on her, so he indulged in the show without interruption. Only when she began looking around for her shoes did her eyes check into his.

He smiled crookedly back at her.Never enough time with her…that changes today.

Tanya did a hopping dance to get into her flats. “Whywon’t you tell me where you’re going?”

“Later.”

“How about now?”

“No.”

She snatched up her canvas bag. “Well, I’m ready.”

Saverin knew she was pissed but she’d just have to allow it. Hopefully what he brought back from his journey down the mountain would make up for his evasiveness. He smiled to himself.It definitely will.

“What?” Tanya said, eyeing him.

“Nothing. Look, Tan, be careful how you move with Gwendolyn over this lottery stuff,” he said, changing the subject. At the moment their hostess was sleeping peacefully in the other room, dreaming of the million-dollar check she’d soon be cashing. He assumed.

“A minute ago you wanted to leave me here with her all day,” Tanya pointed out. “I don’t want to stay here, so I should tell her I’m leaving. Just to be polite.”

“Well hurry up,” Saverin said ungraciously, opening the door. “I need to get going. Maybe it’s better if you don’t stay here anyway. The girl doesn’t have the sense God gave a— oh shit.”

The front door of the trailer swung open, and Saverin instinctively put Tanya behind him and hauled them both back into the bedroom.

Heavy footsteps buckled the plywood floor.

“What?” Tanya hissed.

“Somebody’s here.Quiet.”

“It’s probably nothing.”

It wasn’t nothing. He didn’t move and Tanya shut up. From the intruders there was noise; complaining about the cold front that had crept up the mountain that night. Two men plus a woman.

“You know ‘em?” Saverin murmured.

Tanya shook her head. “Maybe Gwen’s friends?”

“GWEN!”

The woman’s roar rattled the whole trailer. She and her two malecompadreshad the linebacker bulk of Green Trees. Saverin’s right hand twitched for his belt, but his gun was bricked after it’s busy night. His spare ammo was in the safe, at home, miles from this cursed trailer park.

“Should we wait for her to wake up?” asked one of the men.
