Another Time in the West

The next morning when the sun started to rise, Seth was already outside on the balcony. He had carried out two chairs, one to sit on and the other to function as a little table as he disassembled, cleaned and reassembled his revolver. Natalie woke up early too like her time on the trail with Seth a few weeks back had come back to her, after her afternoon ride with Jess. She could feel that Seth was back in his ever-vigilant state, preparing to leave the city by train. Natalie smiled to herself that this was just Seth being extra careful. But something in the back of her mind made her respect his instincts and she knew that these instincts had served him well. She carried out a chair herself, kissed Seth on his cheek before sitting down opposite him checking her two new Derringers which was quickly done. She had already dressed and when she was done with her guns, she loaded them and secured them in her vest.

Natalie couldn't help but love the way Seth looked, it was exactly like the first time she had seen him. It was a couple of days now since he shaved and that rugged look was good on him. He was wearing a brand-new shirt but else there was little difference to see. Except looking at his eyes, they had a gleam to them, and Natalie loved knowing that she had put that light in them. She felt like she was going on an adventure, where it was just a train ride to Laramie City, having a look around the city and returning on the train back the same way a few hours later.

There was a knock on the door and Jess came in smiling at Natalie when she saw her and they hugged and exchanged a few words. Jess was bringing breakfast and told Natalie that she was preparing a basket with lunch and things for the train ride. Seth smiled at Jess and thanked her and proceeded to eat his breakfast but focused on the coffee. Natalie enjoyed her breakfast having got very used to this way of life. Natalie finished getting her clothing in order and decided not to wear the gun belt with her father's old revolver but would wait until she got herself a new weapon suited for her. For the time being, she was happy with her two little guns hidden in her vest but easily accessible.

"All set?" Seth asked Natalie who looked up and smiled at him and nodded in response. She walked to him and tiptoed to kiss him and walked to the door. Seth took the tray and carried it downstairs with them and placed it on the counter. Jess quickly came with the basket with provisions for the day, looking more like they were going on a picnic than a trip by train. Natalie gave Jess a quick peck on the cheek, and she was off, walked out the door ready for adventure and Jess stood there looking after her, like she was scared she might not see her again.

"She will be back later, no worries, Jess" Seth said to her seeing the look on her face and he was only happy to see how well-liked Natalie was becoming.

Seth had to walk at a brisk pace to keep up with Natalie that was half running toward the train station. She couldn't hide the excitement for the trip and didn't try either. Seth loved this about her, her enthusiasm and energy. They soon reached the station and were there early. They were told train was on schedule and there were no delays expected. No fellow passengers seemed to have arrived yet but soon one person or a couple started to arrive. Natalie found it very interesting to observe the people and guess who they were, what their purpose was for their respective journeys. She could spend hours like this, letting her imagination run wild. Seth loved her presence, but he too was observing all but he did it instinctively. The lawman side of him still very integrated, and his mind was doing something like Natalie. Only he assessed if a person might or might not pose a threat, if a person would have nefarious intent and if so, how.

Seth found none of the people that were arriving either to leave by train or there to pick up passengers arriving to be of any concern. But listening to the train station personnel, and observing what was going on, he learned that the return train later that day was going to hold high value cargo or money.

Seth noticed Natalie raise her head at a faint sound and he nodded to her and said "Yes, that is the train whistle, the train is arriving soon" he smiled at her and she got very excited and walked a few steps in the direction from which the train was to arrive from, like it would make her able to spot the train sooner. A minute later most of the people around raised their heads or turned them, as the whistle of the train was much clearer to hear now.

Minutes later under smoke and steam the train approached slowing down and coming to a perfect stop right where they were waiting for it. Doors were opened and soon passengers were disembarking along with trunks and luggage of various sizes. Natalie was again busy observing people, curious about who they were, where they came from, the purpose of their travelling. It was all very exciting for her.

"All aboard!" was called out and Seth nodded to Natalie who bolted for the stairs and entrance to second wagon and found a seat at the window which Seth had pointed out to her that would give her the best view while they were moving. Seth followed behind her carrying the basket with their provisions and sat down in the aisle seat opposite Natalie so they could face each other and be able to talk while looking at each other. Also, it allowed him a chance to observe Natalie all excited, as well as who would be leaving and entering the wagon from the nearest access. Natalie was busy looking at the people that were still on the train but were travelling further than Cheyenne City. Seth had already taken a quick glance up and down the rows of seats inside the wagon for his own reasons.

Just as the whistle was blown to announce that they train could be set in motion, two men arrived on horse back and one dismounted quickly and handed the reigns of his horse to the other before rushing to the train and stepping onboard as it was starting to move. He didn't enter the same wagon as Seth and Natalie were in, but Seth was amazed at how lucky he was getting there in time for the train.

For a while Natalie was taken by watching the landscape flying by, but at a point things started to look much the same and she found that talking to Seth was more fun. She did get distracted each time there was something moving in the landscape be it cattle, or wild animals. Seth could feel that slowly Natalie was starting to get a little bored and he took measures to remedy this. He lifted the basket up and placed it on the seat beside Natalie who instantly smiled as she suddenly had a basket of food and snacks to explore.

Jess had packed things clearly thinking of Natalie. Amongst the things was pineapple cut into bitesize pieces. She started eating, and after a while asked Seth if he wanted anything. He accepted an apple and some bread with cheese. They had some water to drink but most importantly the time flew by, and Natalie never got to feel bored.

Seth noticed at a point that the train slowed down as it entered a terrain that had steeper curves. Train tracks are most effective if they go as straight as possible and if curves are spread over a distance so the train can keep its speed, but bodies of water and rough hills or mountains can make this impossible in places. It was only for a mile or two that the train was at decreased pace, soon it was running on full steam again. All in all, the trip to Laramie City was uneventful but Natalie had a great time. A few passengers stepped on and off the train at the few stops on the trip.

Natalie was the first to get off the train and was busy taking in the new city and all the impressions it gave her. She looked at people and buildings, fascinated by everything. She didn't notice how Seth was looking at everything but in his usual appraising the situation kind of way. All passengers would get off here because this was the end of the line for this train that would be heading back to Cheyenne City within the next couple of hours. After all passengers were off, he saw that a couple of wagons were detached and then driven away outside the train station and a few minutes later they returned but with a heavy looking barred off wagon that seemed to be secured by all thinkable means. Clearly this was the valuable cargo that the returning train was supposed to carry.

Seth had never been to Laramie City before, so he took Natalie under his right arm, letting her carry the empty basket so he had his left hand free. He couldn't help being vigilant and alert. They took a stroll down the street and found a place where they could get a light lunch but also have their basket replenished with something for the return trip.

They came by a Chinese store that had silk scarves of bright colors and Seth could see the look on Natalie's face showing how she loved them. Natalie was quick to point out which two she liked the most and just as quick to say how Jess would love the red one. Seth chuckled as he bought all three asking the Chinese man in Cantonese to wrap the red one as a gift and the other two for Natalie to carrying home. The Chinese man was surprised at Seth speaking to him in Chinese and was more than happy to do as asked.

It had almost been a couple of hours since they left the train station when they returned. The train had been resupplied with coal and was all set for the return trip. It was still almost half an hour before the scheduled departure but already people had arrived, and some had already gotten onboard the train.

Seth gestured Natalie toward the wagon that was connected to the heavily barred cargo wagon, and she just got in without questioning him. A few people were sitting there already and Seth noticed that one of the passengers sitting here was the man that had arrived last minute in Cheyenne City and had boarded the train as it was starting to move. He had his face covered by his hat and was relaxing. It was the hat and clothing that Seth recognized. Seth noticed he was also armed.

The trip was starting out uneventful and Natalie this time quickly decided to check the basket of food and snacks. But the basket originally had been prepared by Jess who knew what Natalie liked and had thought carefully about making it perfect for her. These were just things that they had themselves asked for to be put into the basket. So, she drank water and ate mostly because she didn't have anything better to do.

They entered the area where the train had to slow down due to the curves of the track and the nature of the terrain. Natalie had finished snacking and had put the basket aside and was just staring out the window when she saw movement.

"Riders...?" she said or was it she asked. Seth was relaxing himself and had his eyes closed not sleeping but pondering on the upcoming dinner with the Landons. His eyes shut open and he looked out the window just in time to see something move out of view but clearly looked like a man on horseback.

Gunshots could be heard and soon after the breaks on the locomotive screamed loudly as the train was put to a halt. Natalie standing up to get a look outside and Seth is about to make her sit when three armed men enter the wagon. They all have their bandanas pulled up over their noses. Made both sense doing this riding up to a moving train in the dry countryside but also hiding most facial features from witnesses to this train robbery.

Natalie was standing up which to one of the men entering was perceived as a threat and he raised his gun towards her. Seth didn't even know he was moving, but his protective instinct took over, and the love for this beautiful woman, mother to his child had him reacting.

A single gunshot could be heard inside the wagon as Seth shot and killed the man raising his weapon instantly. Seth got up in a swift motion followed by another two shots that came in quick succession. Those two killed the second man while the third stepped back and out of view. Seth raised his gun and took aim and fired a fourth time hitting the wall of the wagon where the third person most likely was standing and he stepped forward bleeding from his ear only to receive a final bullet to the side of his head.

"Drop the gun" Seth heard a man say behind him and he held his gun hand out to the side in a non-threatening way before letting it fall to the seat beside him. He slowly turned with arms out to the sides, so he wasn't threatening at all. Seth wasn't surprised at all to seeing the man he had seen arrive last moment to be there behind him with his gun out. He was there to aid his comrades, if needed only he had been too slow. But he had grabbed Natalie and was holding her before him and he had his gun pointed at her temple. There wasn't much Seth could do but watch with dread. The look on Natalie's face surprised Seth, he was sure to see fear or so, but he saw determination.

"Better start behaving or I kill her, you don't want me to hurt this pretty little thing, do you?" he asked Seth in a tone that might have been amused if it wasn't for the fact that Seth had just killed three of his gang. Seth saw Natalie leaning back against the man taking her arms down her sides in a passive gesture. This action kind of raised her breasts and pushed them out into the man's hand that was holding her.

"Look at her, she loves having a man touch her" he chuckled as he let his hand feel and touch Natalie's perfect breasts that was standing out so generously in the outfit and with the way she was holding her arms. Seth watched in genuine surprise what was happening, not understanding what was going on. He heard Natalie gasp in an almost exaggerated lusty tone, he knew very well from when she was being sexually pleasured by him.

"What a little whore, she likes this" he chuckled, neither him nor Seth realizing why Natalie was acting this way. But Natalie had listened to Seth when he had talked about the Derringers and about the pros and cons of having them cocked or not. And he had pointed out how it took a few seconds and that it would be a sound that most would notice.

Natalie had moved her arms away and presented her breasts to him so he wouldn't notice that she leaning back against him could reach up for the Derringers. She had moaned and gasped the way she had learned Seth loved to hear her when they were making love. Both men were equally surprised when a loud explosion could be heard. Natalie fired both barrels at the same time aiming under the rib cage of the would-be robber and upwards. Neither bullet hit the heart, but both hit his lungs. He took a step backwards suddenly feeling strength to lift his gun eluding him. He looked around to see where the sound had come from and ended up looking at Seth to ensure he still wasn't armed. He looked at the petite beautiful woman that he had just held in his arms and watched her spin and raise her left hand. Her right hand held something that smoked but her left hand held a dual barreled little gun that she pointed at his face. He heard another explosion and only blackness remained.

Three more men was part of this, one that was supposed to blow up the access to the wagon carrying the valuables, one man that was in the locomotive having forced the engineer to stop the train and having shot the guy shoveling the coal. The last one oversaw the horses. When they heard the shooting and then there was only silence, they knew something was up. As the leader was a passenger and the three real shooters were the three that had entered the wagon to clear the way to the end of the barred wagon. If they all four were now captured, wounded or dead, the three of them would be in no position to complete the plan and rob the train.

While the remaining three fled on horseback, Seth was reloading his weapon and handing Natalie four new cartridges from his own gun belt where he had put some extra ammunition in some of the remaining slots in his belt. They reloaded their weapons while other passengers started to look out and reported back that three men had rode off to the east.

The four dead robbers and the dead engineer from the locomotive were all carried to the same wagon, where most of them had been shot. All passengers from that wagon were instructed to find seats in other wagons. Except Seth and Natalie remained in the wagon, the corpses were not in sight, but the conductor asked Seth to remain to keep securing the wagon and access to the one carrying valuables.

When they were alone Natalie hugged Seth adrenaline still pumping through her. The excitement of the situation had aroused her but also, she felt a need to celebrate life. Again, their lives had suddenly been in jeopardy from what felt like one second to the next. As she was hugging Seth, she didn't even think but she was opening his pants and taking out his cock before she knelt and looked up at him as she smiled and made him hard. Seth knew this was wrong, that the conductor might return, that they were on a train that was starting up again, but he couldn't deny the need he felt building to Natalie's skillful and clearly aroused state.

She opened her pants and pulled them down and just bent over a seat and smiled at Seth as she calmly said "I need it, I need it now" she didn't leave any room for misunderstanding. He was to give it to her, and give her what she needed, no excuses.

"Ahh yeah" Natalie moaned with exaggeration mimicking what she had done to distract the robber earlier. She giggled knowing she was being bad, but she could feel how excited this made Seth as he started to fuck her with an urgency. She could feel that he now had the same need she did. Soon it wasn't her acting as she vocally responded to the heavy pounding she was receiving. She loved being a woman, she loved how she was starting to be treated as a lady and the respect she felt from so many. But she wasn't a lady right now, she was a woman, with needs, and she loved getting them fulfilled.

The rocking of the train announced that it was finally moving again as Seth filled Natalie up to the wonderful sound that she made when she also climaxed and got what she had demanded of Seth.

"You think we can do that again before we reach Cheyenne City?" Natalie asked smiling at Seth happily as she just rested over a couple of seats and didn't even bother to pull her pants up.
