I roll over in the early dawn light to look into Spud’s glittering blue eyes. “You are indeed quite the talker, Spud.”

  And an even better lover. Whooeee.

  “I just wanted to continue our old fiesta dialog,” Spud says and smiles. “You were my first, you know.”

  “I’ll bet you say that to all the girls.”

  “No Roxy, I don’t,” says Spud soberly.

  “It’s okay, you had me at beautiful.”

  Spud smiles his signature shit eating grin.

  “In that case,” I say, “I myself will take the credit for starting you out right. I think, however, you been practicin’ some since that dance, Spud.”

  “Yep, here and there. But, you really were my first, Roxanne. Wasn’t ‘til we got to MadDog and you got your hat off and a bath and put on that swirly dress that I realized who you were. Dayum girl, last night was sweet. How about another round?”

  “Oh, yeah, let’s.” Our lips touch, oh my.

  ‘Knock, knock.’

  ‘Stomp, stomp.’

  Coming up the stairs.

  “Oh hell,” says Spud, “that damn Wolf gets up too early.”

  I say, “Yeah Wolf is here way too early, oughter make him wait on the stoop while we finish our ‘talk’.”

  “Come back later!” yells Spud.

  Then to me he says, “Shit, shoulda locked the bedroom door.” He glances that way. “Oh hell, he’s already in.”

  Wolf is standing up in the bedroom doorway with a shit eatin’ grin on his face.

  “Go away, Injin,” says Spud.

  “Heck no, the little lady needs a real man, and here I am.”

  Nice. Wolf is shirtless, all painted and fixed up, feathers and all. A true beauty among men.

  “Hey brother, white girl here need strong Injin man for real good time. She look happy now, but Injin make her ecstatic. Move over cowboy.”

  “Kiss my ass, Injin.” Spud tries to look stern then breaks out in laughter.

  “Scoot, I’ll kiss hers.”

  Spud and I just lay there and smile.

  “Alright,” Wolf says disgustedly. “I’ll go down and make coffee. Spoilin’ all my fun,” his voice tapers off. “If you were a true blood brother you’d share.”

  ‘Stomp, stomp, stomp.’

  I look at Spud and say, “I thought Injins walked quiet.”

  Spud grins, looks in my eyes, wiggles a little closer...mmmmmm...

  Yore imagination will suffice for what happens next.
