Delilah’s Burning Desire
Delilah remembered what Luke said about his pa hurting her and thought about making a run for it. But she was too intrigued with this man to listen to her commen sense. “I’m Delilah Pierce, and I ain’t no gilly,” she said defiantly. “I’m the cousin of Elias Pierce, and he owns that saloon. I’m just the entertainment. I sing and dance and make the men laugh. But I don’t entertain them any other way.”
A small grin touched the corner of the man’s lips and his eyes lit up. “So you say.”
Delilah chose to ignore that comment. “And who are you? I don’t think I’ve seen you around these parts before,” she asked instead.
“The name’s Jack, Jack Rowley, and I ain’t from around here. But I’m thinking I might just stick around awhile. It seems this town is full of…,” he paused for dramatic effect, “…entertainment.”
Delilah couldn’t believe how forward this man was. He was obviously coming on to her, and even more amazing was how she didn’t seem to mind one bit. In fact, she was kind of turned on by his raw speech and searching eyes. “Well, I am the town’s entertainer,” she said softly, looking up from under her eyelashes at him.
“So you say,” he answered, coming closer to her. Once again, she stood her ground and her whole body tingled as she realized how close he was. She could feel his warm breath on her lips.
“But not like that,” she whispered. Her mind was screaming for his kiss, and she had to fight her arms not to reach out to him.
“I see,” he whispered back as he reached out and grabbed her waist. He pulled her body closer, and she thought her knees would give way at the feel of his hard body against hers.
Just then the door swung open, and she pulled away instinctively as she saw Luke come out of the cabin. She could still feel the grip of his hands around her waist, and that familiar burning from below her belly began to rise up again.
“Get on with it boy,” Jack yelled at his son. “And you come with me,” he whispered to Delilah as he took her arm and led her inside.
Once they were inside and the door was firmly shut, Jack turned around and wrapped his arms around her. Her hunger for him grew as she pressed her body against his. He finally leaned down and kissed her full on the lips. She was surprised at the intensity with which she returned his kiss. She drank in every detail of him. His soft lips, his coarse whiskers, his warm tongue. He kissed her harder and harder until she thought she would faint with ecstasy.
He pushed her backward until the backs of her knees hit the side of the bed, and then she felt him lean forward. They both tumbled onto the bed, and she could feel his weight on top of her. The burning below her belly grew, and she knew only one thing would satisfy it. Luckily, Jake seemed to have the same idea.
When they were done, her burning finally appeased, Delilah could feel him sitting quietly on the side of the bed. “You best be going,” he said suddenly.
With a feeling of disappointment, she pulled back the covers and slowly got dressed. She could tell he was thinking about something, but she didn’t know what. Somehow, she didn’t think anyone could tell what was ever going on behind those dark gray eyes.
Oooo…interesting story so far! I love the way you make it feel like a whole western environment.
BTW, did Jake Rowly’s name change from the last post? I thought it was Jack Rowley?

Poor little Luke. Jake may be good-looking, but he’s certainly not very nice.
I wonder whate he was thinking about?

Hey Paige! I just love the idea of this challenge! And I love the way you are able to write it as if it were a real novel! Maybe I’ll give it a shot after I finish with my Prosperity Challenge. I hope you don’t mind if I add you to my links list on my blog. I finally started my very own blog! Hopefully it will be as good as yours!

Wow. That was heated! My! Is it warm in here? I hope Delilah can tame him…(unlikely)…

What a great episode. I’m worried about Delilah, though. However tough she may seem, I have a feeling she’s going to get hurt.
I think this challenge is a really great idea, and I’d love to give it a try. Unfortunately I have my big scary end of school HSC exams coming up in a few months, and I’m trying to cut back on my simming, so now’s not the time to begin a new project. After exams, though, I should have more time. I live in Australia, and I was thinking about setting mine on a sheepstation in rural Australia. There was a reality show on a while back called “Outback House” (you’ve probably seen or heard of something similar - Frontier House for example) and I’d be basing my neighbourhood pretty heavily on that. I’d add some extra characters - maids, cook station hand etc. but i might need to omit some others, such as the Banker, or have them living in a seperate downtown area. Would that be alright?
Goodness, I’ve really babbled. Sorry this is so long.

That was great! I sense some more drama coming up. We gotta get that Jake or Jack or whatever his name is to spread his handsome genes around!
