I also found Artesia in the city, now proudly-wed to a long-time suitor, who was, much to my surprise, a high ranking Tory functionary. She had rejected her hastily betrothed and dubiously patriotic, pseudo-diplomatic fiancé. I do not think that the dark-haired beauty cared a whit for politics, but she certainly did enjoy wine, wealth and swiving. And she enjoyed herself and being loved and cared for. Willful was the word for Artesia, and she almost always had her way.
I saw her one day in the park, recognized her at once at fifty yards, took a short cut and bumped into her on the far side. Said, "Pardon," and held her arm. She looked up at me and squealed, suddenly clamping a hand to her wide-open mouth. I pulled her into the first tavern I found, sat her down, watched her peel off her hood and cape and found myself aroused again by her healthy, vibrant beauty, her rich and bumptious charms which crouched, beautifully framed, in a dress that likely cost more money than I would ever see. She breathed out sexual attraction like a flower broadcasting pollen, and soon every man in the room envied me and desired her. It just oozed out of her somehow. I think she actually smelled of coitus. I know it was the first thing I thought of.
"I'm married, you big horse," was the first thing she told me, lifting her lovely chin and trying to look very serious, her eyes gleaming evilly. "He's a banker," was the second. "And a wastrel," was the third. "And perhaps a thief. I'm not sure. Several men said he was. And perhaps a whoremonger." She sniffed and looked like a girl again instead of the proper matron she was attempting to portray. "I made a mistake, maybe. I think I did, a big mistake." She tapped her fingers on the table top so I could admire her rings, ; her chest swelled nearly popping her jugs free of her ornate gown. My palms itched.
We talked and drank, with my mind on the nearest bed, imagining her face in passion, her lush body writhing under me, flailing about on the end of my blood-lengthy and hopefully-tireless spear. She explained that the American diplomat, her intended when I had last seen her, had turned out to be a milksop of a momma's boy with little interest in women and with no control over his family's sizable fortune. She suspected, in fact, that he had a long-concealed predilection for young boys. She had kept his engagement present, a dark red jewel currently displayed between her gorgeous, upright, but tightly confined breasts. It almost disappeared in their shadowed cleft, glowing like a beast's eye from the dark cavern I was aching to explore.
"My husband's forty-five I think, about that, fifty perhaps. From a very good local family with several farms out along the river, hundreds of acres, perhaps a thousand, and immense land claims in the West, a score of slaves. We've known each other for some time, family connection really. I knew his first wife, a good woman, died in childbrith. And he's on the right side, the winning side, there's that to say for him. Are you still in that foolish, rag-tag army?"
I nodded, picturing her wearing just the ruby and begging me for more, legs kicking in the air, bruised mouth a gape.
"I suppose you're here as a spy or something. You know you are going to lose," she said flatly as if there were no argument. She finished her second small glass of sherry and raised an eyebrow, adjusting the lace at her chest which needed no attention.
"How?" I asked, covered one of her bejeweled hands with mine. "Are they going to occupy every town, every hill, every farm and forest? Will they put us all in chains, sell us as slaves, repopulate the land from Canada or Africa?" I stroked her wrist.
"Your government's gone, you overgrown fool, vanished, lord knows where this time," she said, waving for a refill with her free hand. "Except for that fluke at Trenton, your mighty general's lost every battle. The old fox, what a joke that is. We have the world's greatest navy, the finest army, European proven, foreign auxiliaries that are merciless." I noticed the 'we' in her brave speech, regretted it, but heard the truth of her list.
"But we will still win, my dear." I reached out and took her other hand. She did not withdraw it. "The redcoats will get tired and go home. Some of the Germans may even stay here, the few survivors. France and Spain, perhaps Holland, will help us, Russia too. Then what will happen to the Tories? And to you?" With a long fingertip I flicked the big stone on her warm chest. She pulled her hands free and glared at me, shook her curly head, poured down her wine and licked her lips, tired of the argument.
"Would you like to see my new home?"
We walked the brick streets under the leafless trees with her hand hooked to my elbow and her high, hard breast rubbing my forearm, her large ruby appearing and disappearing as it bounced oer the hills. We came to a tall, brick building with heavy shutters, marble cornices, third-floor dormers and a peaked roof. It had an iron fence all around it. "Come in," she said, pulling on my arm.
"Perhaps the back door," I suggested, looking at the ornate entrance with its brass lamps and heavy hardware.
"Fool," she said and pulled me up the steps. Once inside, she dismissed the black servant after giving him her silk-lined cloak. She shook out her hair and made my gnarled root tremble. When I was with her, I was almost always aroused. It was tiring and trying. "You don't know how many times I've thought of you," she said. "Almost every morning. It's terrible for a married woman to have such a mad bull in her memory, one with a huge and tireless cock like yours." She squeezed my arm, and I grappled at her breast, but she twisted away, laughing silently, her nipple hard.
"Where's your new husband?" I asked.
"Probably in his study. Come. I'll introduce you."
She pushed open a door before I could say anything and tugged me into a library with a tall desk, rows of leather-bound books and heavily curtained windows. The man at the desk blotter turned around, took off his spectacles and said, "Yes." He did not bother to put down his long, dark pen. His look was impatient and imperious.
"This is a man who once worked for us, for my family, out in the country. He's a good laborer, looking for a job, excellent with horses," Artesia improvised on the spot, pointing at me as if I were a signboard. Nothing flustered her.
Her husband was a tall, thin man with a short wig, sallow skin and skinny legs in silk hose. He was wearing dark, well-cut clothes, a very fancy waistcoat, carefully tied neckcloth and short, shiny boots with small, silver buckles. His face with thin, smallpox scarred, and his nose long and also pock-marked. He looked at me as if I were a long-dead fish.
"I had to let the other man go," Artesia rambled on.
"Your affair," said her husband with a wave. "You manage the house." He turned back to his desk. Artesia took me to the back yard where we found a lank man chopping wood lethargically.
"Give him a crown," she said, nudging me with her hip. I produced one and handed it to the man. "Come back in a week, Jim, sober," Artesia said to him, and he knuckled his forehead and disappeared. "Chop," said the luscious girl leaning forward to make sure I had a good view of her mammalian charms and dangling jewel. "You sleep up above the shed and get meals at the back door. You can do your stupid spying for a week from here, but then you've got to be gone. I owe you, at least that much. We'll be quits then."
I bent to kiss her but she turned away in the shade of the shed's doorway. "None a'that," she said. "It's just for past favors."
"You mean you're faithful to him despite what you said?"
"Of course. I made vows." She looked surprised. "I keep my word."
"And his vulgar lordship back there, you think he's not got a lady friend or two stashed in this big burg? At his age? At his station? You said he was a crook, that he was filthy rich, some boys perhaps, catamites."
"Course not," she said. "He loves me like a fool, lets me spend outrageously. And those are just rumors. He does have enemies. Don't judge others by your own lack of morals, you big oaf."
Properly chastised, I chopped the rest of the cord wood and went off into the city on my rounds. Now I added a question about her husband to my list and soon found that she had married one of the best minds, biggest manipulators and busiest lotharios in Torydom. He, I was told, was a thinker and planner for the occupation and the Howe brothers as well as procurer of services, women and supplies, a betrayer of friends, and, I was also told, he was a skimmer, a whoremaster and keeper of mistresss uncounted as well as of several sets of account books.
On Saturday, I followed him to two outlying addresses, wondering at his powers of recovery as he visited those slaternly women for an hour each before stopping for a meal. Children played about in the yards of both hovels. Then, along with a stubby naval officer, he spent the afternoon with another girl down near the river, all three secluded in one small room, and that evening bedded down briefly with a very young and lissome lass, whose specialty, I was told, was cock sucking and ball licking, and then settled in a fancy bordello with a well-known courtesan boasting a reputation for pleasing men of exotic and abnormal tastes. He spent the night with her. They ranged in age from sixteen to fifty or so and, obviously, in their expectations and demands. He simply had himself carried in a sedan chair from one assignation to another in the city. I suspected that along the way, he used opium. I knew the smell.
Sunday, the fifth day of my promised week, after a series of lonesome and celibate nights in the loft, I gave my report to the lovely Artesia along with my guess that her beloved had more females than I had found, based on the reports I had gathered, and that he was a crook on a major scale, a thief and embezzler. I also told her that most people said he was very smart, very cruel and very dangerous. I urged her not to confront him, but to seek advice from others in the loyal hierarchy and to pass along my suspicions in secret.
"It's a lie," she spat at me, "a filthy, damnable lie. Only his enemies suggested he was taking bribes and kickbacks. I've asked him. He'd never do such things, never. And he loves me in his odd way. You're just trying to get between my legs again, you filthy brute."
That was true, but I had other motives as well. Despite my warning, she took my list, said, "Wait here," and stalked into her haughty husband's library. I stood by the door and waited for the explosion or a call for help.
The first thing I heard was, "Let me see him, hear it from him."
The door slammed open and Artesia growled, "Come in." Her ripe body almost lunged out of her clothes as she stalked across the carpet to stand at her man's side, hands behind her, totally desirable, completely furious, nearly snorting in her anger.
"Now," said Harrison Lawson Lowe, Esq., with fist on hip, "what's this all about." His furious wife stood with her feet apart, glaring at me, breathing hard.
"I am a scout for Washington's army, sir," I said, having some trouble getting out the sir. " I've done your bride a favor or two in the past, up north, some time back. She was nice enough to let me work for a week from your backyard. People talked about you."
He held up his hand. "Is this true?" he asked his seething wife. She nodded. "That's treason, you stupid woman. They'll hang you."
"Oh, I don't think so, sir," I said. "I've also found out that you have been stealing from the Crown, paying off contractors, taking bribes, and hiding the proceeds in your wine cellar and the truth in those ruled books."
He yanked open a desk drawer, and a small pistol appeared in his hand as if by legerdemain, the kind women sometimes carried in their muff, a weapon of very narrow bore but a killing weapon nevertheless. His hand did not shake and there was hatred in his eyes. His face was very white and a muscle twitched beside his chin. His nostrils flared and his eyes bulged.
"And you have a taste for women, they say, including some expensive whores, which I assume, has led to your thievery. How many do you keep now?" I stepped a bit closer, never taking my eyes from his still-uncocked weapon. "Have you put Artesia's dowry into your name? Are you spending her money on your trollops?"
"Damn you," he cried, pulling his pistol to full cock and pushing his wife aside as she stepped between us, face in confused torment.
I lunged at him, almost reached his hand, and he fired into my left hip, right through my jacket and shirt tail, nicking my heavy belt and thick scabbard. It was a small caliber ball that glanced off my pelvis and gouged along my buttock. It hurt like hell. I fell to one knee, and he hit me in the face with his weapon, chopping open my forehead, cracking the bridge of my nose and dropping me to all fours, head abuzz.
Then came a crashing thump and the man fell to his back on the floor, right in front of me, his arms spread wide and feet kicking, eyes staring. A trickle of blood ran from his ear, and a dark liquid splashed down on my shoulder and his body. Artesia had hit him in the head with his heavy, cut-glass, port decanter. She had cracked his skull, making a dent as big as your fist in the side of his head just above the ear. He quivered, coughed and seemed to flow into the carpet, nearly covered with dark wine. She dropped the heavy bottle that had spilled much of its contents. It shattered and the glittering shards rattled across the floor, the only sound in the room. Muffled in my clothes, his gun had barely made a pop when it flashed.
I rose, a bit unsteady, and held the woman, blood dripping in my eyes, "You'll be a fine widow," I said. "Now listen. You've been robbed and your husband murdered. That shot is sure to bring somebody. The thief and murderer may have been your trusted handyman who has vanished along with some valuables, some silver, jewelry, something." I yanked the ruby from her chest and stuck it in my pocket. "Give me time to get out the back door and then scream so the servants will come running. That door's so thick they might not have heard the pistol."
She nodded, eyes big, chest heaving, and I kissed her, getting blood on her cheek. "I'll be back," I said, hurrying out the back with a painful limp, mopping blood out of my face, and disappearing as thoroughly as I could into the city.
I read the story in the Philadelphia paper, surely murder most foul by person or person unknown of a respected official, and went back to make my fortnightly report and get sewed up again. The hairline cut healed by itself, as did my nose, but the rear end wound had to be sewed after the ball was probed for, found and removed. I did not enjoy that process nor climbing aboard a horse or a woman for the next month or so.
"Something odd is going on over in Wessextown," the old lady said. "You've nothing useful to do. Go investigate." I gobbled down my breakfast, tended to my horse and weapons and was on my way before the sun topped the trees. Wessex was a small, tidy town with a pleasant square, a white church, two taverns, a sawmill and a respected potter. I headed for the larger tavern and had a good beer. The place was empty but it was barely noon. "Yer jus' in time for the show," the publican...
The British continued to harass us, pressing us back in our retreat. My company was usually doing rear-guard duty. One day, a week or so after my enjoyment of the girl in the barn, a pleasure my aching cock still recalled early in the morning, we swooped down on the supply train of a Redcoat regiment and were deep into pillage and plunder when a bunch of dragoons appeared out of nowhere, and we had to fight for our lives and then flee, every man for himself. They ran off our horses, and I...
The girl that sat on the pulled-down steps of the fancy carriage looked sad indeed, nearly despondent, head down and knees wide apart. She was drawing on the ground with a stick. She glanced up as I dismounted and gave me a wan smile. There was neither team nor driver in sight so the problem was obvious. She stood and my cock stirred. She was a true stunner, dressed in the height of fashion and sporting a mop of dark red hair that cascaded over her shoulders and well down her straight back,...
I reached the McB-- plantation on a bend in the James just about sunset, feeling very proud of myself since I was about halfway to Portsmouth. I had a good horse under me and had rearmed myself with the weapons I had used all during the Revoltuion, tools my hands knew well. Now if I could promote a hot meal and a warm woman for my bed, it would be an almost perfect day. Long and bloody, but almost perfect. On my way south I had given the Ranger camp a wide berth. I left my horse with a young...
"Those beasts," said Madam Von R--, "are holding a fair, as they call it, and have a girl, a very comely girl, as one of the prizes in some sort of contest." "One of our people?" I asked. "A rebel?" "Of course. Why else would I bother?" she said impatiently. "Go get her out of there." "Yes'm," I said and set out. It made for a very curious weekend. That Friday I nosed around and found that there was, indeed, a competition, open only to militiamen, no British regulars or...
"There is," said the old Madam, looking exceedingly cross, "a woman who is doing us harm, at least she is trying to do so, the foolish harridan. I want you to go see her and convince her of the wickedness of her ways." "Me?" I said. "Why not send a preacher?" "No," the Madam said with an evil smile, "you have the equipment for this task. This woman is using her body in the service of our enemies and crowing about how much more manly the Germans and English officers are compared...
General Greene detached Von Steuben to head up Virginia's defenses and headed south again, looking for whatever was left of Gates' defeated army. At Hillsboro, North Carolina, where a rag-tag government sat, no one knew where Gates was, but we were told that Cornwallis had abandoned Charlotte after the fight on King's Mountain. That is where General Greene finally found General Gates, in Charlotte on December 2. Gates, disgraced as well as defeated, seemed as happy to see us as we were to...
Harold, the coffee-colored horse trader, proved to be, as reported, a good man who knew his business. I used Jeff's name, and he showed me some animals. We dickered a bit, and he sold me a mare and a decent saddle and set of capacious bags at a fair price for those days when the rebels and Tories had cleaned the countryside of horse flesh more than once. "Do me a favor while you're here," Harold said as I looked my new horse in the eye and stroked her big nose. "Certainly," I said,...
Of course, I did go on to visit Trenton, just to renew the human spirit, check up on my trusted sources and get my ashes hauled. Both Ginny and Mrs. Foster seemed happy to see me, and I them. Ivy and I saw each other, too, but kept our distance like a brace of mockingbirds in the same shrubbery. Rebecca had returned to New York and her Royal Navy husband. On my final winter-time visit to Trenton, during one of our brief periods of rest, Ginny said, "You gotta do me a favor." "Like...
I awoke to the sound of many hooves on the nearby road. I rolled out of my blanket, found my rifle, stayed low and crawled to the roadside. Here came a redcoated officer, a captain, followed by a bunch of horses and a couple of well-mounted dragoons. I watched them pass, trying to count the horse flesh, at least a dozen, roped in pairs and threesomes. Then there was a mule-drawn farm wagon filled with barrels, kegs and a small blonde, bound and gagged, that I assumed was a girl from the...
Being seduced means being made a fool, and it happened to me more than once. You would think I would learn but I didn't. When a young lady suggested love making, my brain stopped working and other glands took control. This time it happened at a tavern in New Brunswick. I had been in town almost a week, dressed as a farm laborer and spending most of my time and some of General Washington's brass in trying to find out what the British were planning. I had not shaved for a while and probably...
And then I found the lovely Teresa, my gorgeous, gold-haired girl. I had rescued her from a dock in New York, loved her until we both were senseless, saved her from a burning shack after she had been repeatedly raped by a score of militiamen, and then sent her on to her faux diplomat-father, hoping she would mend and he would properly care for her. That was where I found her, at her father's fine, tall, brick house. (See Rebel #8) One of my contacts told me that there was a wealthy Spanish...
In mid-August I entered Portsmouth to find the town almost deserted. I guess it was still technically in British hands because that flag flew on the docks and at the magazine, but the royal presence was much diminished. Margy sat with me drinking beer and describing the exodus of Cornwallis and his troops. "You should a'seen some of the women he took off with him. Ew, the smell," she held her nose and laughed. "So business has been kind a'slack?" "Right, an' they closed Arnold's...
On my way back to my duties, I stopped to visit Frances again, drawn like a bear to honey, anticipating another happy tumble in the hay, complete respite from the never-ending war. It was a terrible mistake. She rose to her toes and kissed me when I opened the door to her bedroom and found her alone, writing a letter. The room smelled like roses. It was midday, bright and sunny, and the large, high bed looked very inviting. "So how's the poor, lonely, little widow?" I asked when my mouth...
The second time I went to visit Madam Von R--'s doctor friend, he had good news for me. A compatriot of his, another doctor, had died, he said, and had shelves filled with various medications. "I'm sure his widow has no use for the stuff," he assured me. "She's a fine woman, but I have no idea if she is politically inclined." He gave me directions and a note of introduction. It took most of the day to make the trip with my light wagon, and I was hungry and tired when I knocked at the...
"They's been transferred," the girl said with a smile. "I ain' gonna miss 'em neither." "Who?" I asked, "who's been transferred?" "The bloody regiment," the girl said with an exasperated tone, almost ready to give up on my flabby member which was all right with me since we had been at it hard and heavy for nearly an hour. "Are they now?" I said. "Who'll be coming in?" "Don' know," she said, slapping the limp thing and rolling out of bed, giving me a good look at her...
I was bent low when the shot burned my thigh and hit my poor horse. She stumbled, dumped me in the frigid stream, got to her feet and limped away after scrambling up the far bank. By then I had rolled over several times, failed to grasp a tree root and was in the swift-flowing main stream. I pulled off my soggy boots and thrashed about, trying not to swallow too much water and then I rammed head first into a boulder and knocked myself silly. I awoke with two people pulling on my arms and my...
"Now," the old madam said, lifting an eyebrow, "this is a special case." "You always say that," I told her with a smile. She hit me with her fan. "This fine young woman really is especially special, you impertinent cur. Wait until you see her; you will understand. And she may be in serious trouble. I can't really tell from her note. She has been useful to us, very useful. Go quickly, do whatever she tells you." I went quickly where I was told, arrived late at night, stabled my...
Foster sent me and George right back to New York as a team. We had our separate tasks but worked several times together to achieve our ends, either for ourselves or the Continental Congress. George would sometimes rescue a damsel from my attentions or I would come upon my friend trying to rob or assault someone, drive him off and earn his or her gratitude. One of the people Foster told me to see about was a colonel of artillery who supposed knew all about forts and gun positions, numbers of...
"Take off your clothes, you stupid bitch," commanded the sneering officer. I was beaten and chained to a rafter so there was little I could do but watch. The major glanced at me and then returned his attention to the girl who had removed her bodice and dropped it to the floor. "Hurry up, strumpet," the officer snarled. "Haven't got all day." She stepped from her skirt gracefully, let it fall and pulled her shift over her head and tossed back her long hair. She had not worn...
The men who captured me were a mix of Scots and Germans under the command of a young Englishman with an aristocratic look and a sadistic streak. His mixed and motley company had been out stealing horses when they found me late one morning disporting myself in a barn with a young maiden who had been around the track a few times. We were so busy with our efforts to please each other that neither of us heard the horsemen approach until they were in the barnyard. The girl squealed, slithered out...
Jeff Reynolds and Harry Smith had begun work at the mine in Kolbazi on the same day. Jeff was an accounting manager and Harry worked in distribution. Both men were expatriates from England, having moved to Africa lured by the promise of salaries that were four times what they could ever expect to receive at home. In addition, they were provided with small but comfortable bungalows in a safe section of the small city. Jeff and Harry were similar in appearance and personality. Each was in...
A captain we met down there had two lovely daughters, and on several occasions he brought them into camp to entertain the visiting officers from the north. One was sweet and cooperative, charming and polite, but the other, the younger one, was a tease. That's what we called girls like that back home, cock teasers. She led men on, flirted and flounced, played with them, fanned them, flattered them, made them think it was available, showed it to them and then took it away, rejected them and...
The shots were from up the hill in front of me and somewhere off to the left, two of them. I kicked my horse and moved that way while a part of my mind suggested hesitation and care as well as minding my own business. The first things a saw when I broke out of the treeline was a a small farm house, a good sized knot of horses, a man holding some of them and obviously guarding the others. His back was to me and he wore a militia uniform. He was a Tory. I counted six well-groomed mounts at the...
My horse had gone lame, and I was afoot that morning, carrying my rifle, the captured muskets well hidden, when I almost walked into a Tory company camped alongside the road. One man saw me, yelled and waved as I ducked into the pine trees and ran for it, in no mood to tackle a dozen, well-armed men. They came crashing after me, hooting and hollering like it was some kind of game or cross-country hunt. I stayed low and moved as fast as I could through the dense woods, across a stream, up a...
Mrs. Snyder, Ivy and the tangle of bony arms and thin legs that were her three rambunctious sons welcomed me with a fine, late supper behind shuttered windows. I looked at Ivy in the candlelight and saw why her mother was so determined to hide her, to save her chastity if she could. She was blooming, becoming a beauty, finer boned than her lusty mother but just as lovely and almost as tall. In Felicity's large, soft bed, after we had satisfied each other to the point of mutual moaning and...
My luck held. I did not have to spend much time freezing in Morristown that long winter, and I already had a bout with smallpox which left a few holes in my hide but little more. Instead, Lieutenant Foster got made a captain, and our bunch became a ranger company, at least for a while. Mostly we were back at harassing the Redcoats and Germans as much as we could, shooting unwary officers, playing fox and hounds and making their lives miserable as possible on a regular basis. I even started...
On one early winter trip back to camp after an invigorating evening in Ginny's arms and legs, I ran into an odd situation. I heard a couple of gunshots in the distance and then discovered an expensive chaise standing at the side of the narrow road, and in it I found a very dead British lieutenant of infantry. He had been shot twice, evidently at close range. Powder burns showed around his wounds. The only other thing in the small carriage was a lady's reticule or purse. The man's pockets...
Unlike warmly remembered Boston, we did not find many welcoming women out there in the swamps and hills. Nancy, Melissa and Cecelia were the satisfying exceptions, along with a few others. Much of the frozen countryside was deserted, the animals confiscated or driven off and the farmhouses and barns empty if they still stood. For some reason the Crown sent a new minister into the wilds of New Jersey. The old one had fled during the confusion after the fights at Trenton and Princeton. The new...
The year is 2058. For the last decade, most of the world has known only conflict as east and west waged total war on one another. After the nuclear destruction of many prominent cities across the globe, an uneasy truce was signed and a new order has emerged. Most of Eastern Europe and Asia have fallen behind what has been called a "New Iron Curtain" as a Russian-dominated union spread its influence further across the continent... ----- An old moped drove through rural Belarus in the very...
It was late, or early actually, and the moon was setting, looking cold and distant, when the woman came to my blanket. "Please," was all she said, on her knees beside me, her hand at my shoulder. I lifted the edge of the old blanket, and she rolled in, sighing. She was barefoot but fully clothed. I put my hand on her ribs and felt her stays. "How can you sleep in those things?" I asked, sliding my hand up between her full breasts to begin unlacing her strings. "Don't," she said,...
The last river I had to cross was a nameless, northern tributary of the Broad. Winter had finally arrived with day after day of cold rain blowing in from the northwest. The fords were high and I kept going upstream until I found an operating ferry. I beat on the keg intended as a signal drum and a person finally emerged on the far side, waved at me and went to the flat-bottomed barge. Across the roiling stream it came, bobbing up and down, and I loaded my two horses aboard and tried to help...
"Missy," I yelled, "where the hell are my clothes? I can't go running around out there killing Redcoats and chasing after Benedict bloody Arnold and your frigging husband, the honorable Justin sodomite H--, in jus' my birthday suit!" "Now, don' get yo'self all riled up," she said, crawling back into the bed after using her chamber pot and adopting a deeper Southern accent. "Old Miss Martha'll be along directly with your clothes, all brushed and so forth, honey lamb, boots shined...
Late one rainy afternoon when I returned to my basement hideout, I found a woman standing at the foot of the steps, huddled in a dark, hooded coat and using her sleeve to ward off the blowing sheets of cold rain. She was tall and that was about I could tell about her except that the hem of her coat and dress were very wet and heavy. "Help you?" I asked, huddled in my old jacket and wishing I had worn a hat. I could feel cold water running down the back of my neck. "Does the S- family...
And then I awoke in a cellar although it took me some time to figure out where I was. My feet were tied together, my hands bound behind me, there was a damp gag in my mouth and my eyes were bandaged. I mentally took inventory and found most of my other parts were present and in working order. I could not feel any blood or new lumps on my head, but I had a metallic taste in my mouth. The gag was absolutely the worse part not only because it nearly strangled me in my own spit but tore at the...
The three men bent over their horses' necks and galloping down the road may or may not have seen me as they came on in a rush, but they simply ignored me, and I was forced to scramble into the woods to avoid them. I cursed under my breath and watched as the Redcoat hallooed and his two German companions dug their heels into their steeds to keep pace. I cut back through the trees, urged my mare to leap a small stream and came back to the road in plenty of time to dismount, load a double shot...
There I was, tied to a post in a dirty barn, stripped bare to the waist and facing as nasty a crew as I had yet found. They did not give a damn about rebels and Tories or anything else. They wanted money and they had mine and hoped I would lead them to more since my purse had been heavy with blood money. I had at least one tooth that was loose, and my eyebrow was dripping blood. I worked on my knots, rubbing my hands up and down the rough post, failed to get the thick pole moving by pulling...
On one of my last trips to visit with Mrs. Von R--, seeking knowledge of British intentions and a warm bed, a black woman hoeing at a kitchen garden stopped me as I walked past the back fence of her long plot. "Ho, mistah," she cried, waving her free hand. "You shore is a big 'un. How 'bout helpin' some poor folks?" She leaned on her hoe and looked at me stony faced, a bandana covering her head and her feet bare. I was in a hurry, eager to find a bedmate since Mrs. Von R-- usually...
It took me a while to figure out that the big, young woman with the long legs and wild hair was in charge of the place and that the man I mistook for the inn-keeper was just one of her employees. She was well past being sturdy, nearly six feet high in her thick-heeled boots and easily twelve stone. She wore plain, country clothes with no decoration and her full, firm body moved freely beneath them like some sort of caged animal. She had heavy thighs, wide hips and full breasts, a firm jaw and...
The woman under me was smiling while her body heaved and rolled from side to side. She raised her hips and her velvety quim pulled me deeper into her when I already felt fully extended. I surged up and back, rocked left and right, trying to screw it in even farther. She squealed and shuddered, pouring fluids over my root as our bodies slapped together. We grunted and throbbed together, thrust and recoil, thrust and recoil. It felt a foot deep in her, banging into her bones, thick and hard....
Staging ambushes became our specialty. Since most agreed that I had the best Pennsylvania rifle in the company, I was often the bait in our trap. Once we had spied a small camp of the enemy pickets or a foraging party at work, my job would be to step out in the open, fire at them a time or two, aiming for the officers of course, and then run for it once they got moving toward me. If we worked it right, we could bag up to a dozen men and horses that way, replenish our supplies and send a...
Not Credible "See this here place, this area," the lieutenant said pointing to his map. I nodded. "Somewhere in these woods there's a home guard bunch that has been raising hell with the Redcoats," he stopped and looked at me. "You ain't busy are you?" "No sir," I said, not wanting to lie but having enjoyed several days of inactivity. "Go find out who's leading 'em. Tell 'em we're getting ready to retreat again. See if you can get this bunch to join up." I nodded and...
"Now," said the big Redcoat, "since you insist on being uncooperative, I have a bargain for you, a trade let us call it." He turned to one of the men near the door. "Bring those two bitches in here," he said. The heavy door of the basement room swung open and two more British soldiers entered, each with a woman in tow. They brought their prisoners to the colonel, clicked their heels and left. Now, just a few feet away, stood a handsome woman and a younger girl. Both wore nothing but...
It was absolutely one of our best ambushes of the whole retreat. We cut the foraging party down like hay, seven men dead and one dying in less than a minute. The women driving the two big wagons did not even have time to duck for cover before it was all over. While the smoke blew away and my lieutenant finished off the wounded man with a pistol shot, I took note of the women with the reins in their hands. They looked a lot alike, fair-haired and sun burned, poke bonnets and farm dresses, long...
"So where have I gone wrong?" "You have not gone wrong Jane, its just that we are not going anywhere in this relationship" "Graham, I gave everything in this relationship, I gave up promotion opportunities,hobbies, you name it". Tears were now in her eyes, there was also a pause. She thought about the holiday in Spain she had booked for them both. "Jane we have both tried, but I find it hard now." He did not want to say it, but before he could even think about it, Jane asked...
“I fucked Becky Howard last night, and she has the smallest tits I have ever seen,” said Todd to his two friends. They laughed and went back to their hamburgers.“Was she any good?” said one of the others after putting down his food.“She was alright I guess, sucked my dick a bit but wasn’t very good at it. And she would only do the missionary position and that’s so fucking lame.”The three young men continued to discuss Becky’s body and what she had done the previous night. I sat at the table...
College SexSince I was in town I rode out to check on Sarah and Jean, the two girls we had rescued from the Hessians earlier that winter. They were living with a farm family that had lost two chidlren to the smallpox and seemed to have settled in right well. Neither had become pregnant as a result of their repeated rapes and both were happy to see me and insisted that I stay for supper to see how well they had learned to cook. I did and they had. Their sour apple pie was as good as any I ever...
We rode right into it and paid the price; two of my company dead plus the driver and footman shot off the carriage. I rolled from my wounded horse and scrambled into the weeds and thorn bushes while George galloped off in the other direction, going for help I certainly hoped. It was a whole company of howling Germans, blue jackets with red facings, and they laughed and gabbled while they searched the dead and pulled two women and a well-dressed man from the rig. I had not been told who we...
I once got to play the knight in shining armor, but of course in my own shabby way. I was eating and drinking in a tavern near the river when the stage stopped and seven passengers trooped in to dine. The group included one striking woman in a long purple cloak. She stood out from the crowd, like a rose among toadstools, not only because of her dress, but because of her cool poise, striking posture, curly brown hair, dark eyes and voluptuous beauty. She was a fine, healthy woman, perhaps...
For the next couple of months, things went on much that way. The British sat in the towns, enjoying life among the Tories as best they could, eating well and rogering regularly, I'm sure, and Washington worried about where they were going and had his recruiters out far and wide seeking replacements for his still-dwindling infantry companies. We heard all sorts of rumors, even a report that a big Redcoat and Indian army was coming down the lakes from Canada, but basically it was a waiting...
When I reported back Captain Foster smiled and said I was just the man he wanted to see. Peter McGinn and I were the only members of the company in town, and there was a visiting officer who had asked for some protection while he scouted about and got to know the country. The officer was a portly Frenchman who spoke almost no English but had with him a young woman, who he claimed was some sort of relation and who acted as his interpreter. We just assumed she was his doxy. The four of us set...
In April, I had an interesting experience with an officer's wife and one of her sons. She was Angela McG-- and he was her oldest, Rodney, a good-sized lad of sixteen, fuzz-faced, long-legged, gawky and eager to get into the fight. He wanted to join the army like his quartermaster father, and she did not want him to. Captain Foster sent me to see her, and I am not sure whether or not he thought he was doing me or her a favor. She was a healthy and handsome woman in her mid-thirties. She had...
I had one more side trip on my way north, again a pleasurable one although it involved a lot of hard work and very little killing. A woman stopped me from beside the road just after I had topped a rise. She held up her hand and smiled at me, sharing a fine and gracious look. I dismounted. I always had a thing for redheads, and this woman had a rich, dark, auburn mane that flowed well down her back. She was handsome and she knew it. There was pride in her stance. "Need some help," the big...
Catching the general was much easier than it should have been. He was traveling without a guard detail, just the driver and an armed footman on the seat. We shot them both, tore open the door and found a portly man of fifty or so in a long-tailed red coat, a trim captain less than half that age, a stylish woman of perhaps thirty and a frilly girl that might have been twenty. The women claimed to be the wife and daughter of the general, although I doubted that from the first sight of them, and...
In May I reported that it seemed the British were getting concentrated down toward Amboy. Captain Foster decided that meant Philadelphia for sure, and I warned the ladies in Trenton to be prepared to run for it if Howe's big army came their way. It took me two pleasurable days and long nights to do that. Washington then moved down to some wooded hills in what the locals called the Watchung Mountains, to keep a closer eye on the British. While his much healthier and somewhat larger army dug...
It took me almost another week to make my report and find that Dan Morgan, Captain Foster and most of my fellow scouts were being pursued by Tarleton's legion in a hit and run series of fights and skirmishes. The British were hitting and we were running, deeper into the hills. By then, just after Christmas this was, Morgan had crossed the Broad River heading west, and, we found out a week later, Greene had moved the rest of his raggedy army, perhaps a thousand men, out of Charlotte and set...
Then Howe's big army just up and vanished. Captain Foster was fit to be tied and gelded. "What the hell do you mean, they're gone?" he yelled at me when I reported I could not find them. "Where did they go? When did they go? What the hell have you been doing? No, don' tell me." "I think they got on ships," I said. "I was all the way down to Hazlit before I ran into pickets and sentries. Fellow in a tavern said he had seen two hundred ships out in the bay. I asked him if he counted...
That day, the 16th of January it was, I looked up the date, we found Tarleton's bunch only about five or six miles away and coming on pretty fast. Captain Foster said the army would be leaving Thicketty Creek and that Dan Morgan was looking for a place to stop running. He planned to stand and fight. I hurried back with my information while Reedy stayed to shadow the British and Tories. He never came back so I guessed he must have made a mistake somewhere. Morgan had camped near a low hill...
