He hasn't been able to convince her to go out
with him yet, but he is not about to give up. She has allowed him
to walk her home on two occasions and she lives in the same
apartment complex as him. That's more than she has allowed
Zeke!

******

Samantha love's her job at Mel's Bar.
Watching that pig, Stump, drool over her has been an absolute
blast. She has to admit, though, he is really a nice guy when he's
not snapping at her for one reason or another. He's very good
looking too. She loves his muscles and would love to be able to run
her hands over each one. Her palms itch to run over his muscular
chest and feel the texture of all of that sexy hair she sees
peeking out from his shirt collar. She has enjoyed their
conversations too and has been flattered by his interest in her.
Deep in her heart she wishes he was drooling over her, Samantha,
but he's not. He's drooling over Susie.

So far, Samantha hasn't heard any talk about
a mine anywhere in the park. Of all the customers that frequent
Mel's, she feels like Zeke and Jeb are the most likely suspects.
However, they spend so much time in the bar she wonders how they
have time to work in a mine. She wonders if Stump has been able to
pick up any information from them and she is itching to ask him,
but then he would find out that she is Susie.

Stump hasn't picked up on any talk about a
mine in the park either. He has spent a lot of time getting to know
the regular customers and has learned zilch. He is still curious
about why not very many guys from the construction site frequent
Mel's. Under normal circumstances he would think this undercover
job is a waste of time. But, since he gets to see Susie every day
and is hopeful she will eventually go out with him, he keeps hoping
something about the mine will turn up eventually.

CHAPTER 3

Several weeks later

It is her night off from the bar and Samantha
Wells is just about to stretch out on her sofa bed with a good
mystery novel when her cell phone rings and she answers, "Sam."

"Sam, this is Jim from Mel's across the
street. That Kincaid fellow is in here and I think he's been
drugged or something. He's acting really drunk and I know he hasn't
had but his usual two beers. Anyway, I overheard those two guys he
hangs around with talking about feeding him to the bears. I'm
worried they are going to hurt him."

Samantha's heart is beating so fast she
thinks it may jump right out of her chest. Oh God! Stump is in
trouble! What's she going to do? She says, "I'm on my way Jim.
Thanks for calling me."

She hurriedly puts on jeans and a sweatshirt
and slips her feet into her tennis shoes. She doesn't bother with
underwear because no one's going to see anyway. Her hair is loose
and flowing around her shoulders. Without her glasses she looks
enough like her pseudo personality to fool those guys. They've been
drinking after all. She runs across the parking lot from the
apartment complex to the neighborhood bar where all of the park
employees hang out after work.

When she enters the dimly lit bar, she
quickly spots Stump, sprawled on top of the table he is sharing
with the two construction workers, Zeke and Jeb. Tears of fear
spring to her eyes and her heart is pounding so hard she wonders if
others might hear it. She walks over to the table and grasps
Stump's arm pulling him out of his chair. She says in her deep
southern drawl, "Oh Sugar, I'm so sorry about our fight. I'm sorry
I kicked you out of the house last night. Come on and let's go
home."

Grinning at her Stump says in a drunken slur,
"Hey Susie, I'm glad you're here. Did you know that I'm in love
with you?" Samantha doesn't respond.

She pulls his arm around her shoulders,
places her arm around his waist and starts leading him toward the
door.

Stump stops and says again, "Susie, didn't
you hear me. I said I'm in love with you."

Susie says, "I know Baby, come on, let's go
home." She is beginning to panic. Her heart is pounding with fear.
She has to get him out of here! She nods at Jim on her way out.
Stump is leaning so heavily on her she can barely stand up but she
knows both their lives may depend on her so she keeps putting one
foot in front of the other and eventually they make it all the way
across the parking lot and into the apartment building. When she
glances back toward the bar, she sees the two construction workers
watching them and she struggles to get Stump inside the building. A
shiver of fear slides down her spine.

She begs, "Come on Stump. Help me here!"

When she finally gets to her apartment she
inserts the key, opens the door, and leads Stump to the sofa bed
where she lets him fall. Oh mercy! She is exhausted. Breathing
heavily from the exertion and her heart pounding she hurries to
close and lock the door and slide the bolt lock into place. She
checks her sidearm to make sure it's loaded and ready just in case
those two construction workers decide to pay them a visit.

Now what? She takes a deep calming breath and
thinks through the situation. It is so late she really hates to
call anyone to pick him up. She'll have to let him stay here
tonight. Well, if he's going to stay she probably should try to
undress him, at least partially so he can rest. She starts with his
boots and socks setting them on the floor next to the bed. He is
snoring peacefully and doesn't stir as she removes his boots.

That done she wonders what she should do
next. She begins to unfasten the buttons of his shirt. She finds
the activity very erotic and shivers of excitement slide down her
spine. She's never in her life undressed a man. Well, except her
elderly grandfather during his last months, but never a young
healthy male with bulging muscles and so much deliciously sexy hair
on his chest. Never mind that she can't stand the man, his body is
gorgeous! Spreading the sides of his shirt, she can't resist
running her hands over his chest and that thick mat of hair.
Mmmmmmmmm, yeah, now this is sexy!

She shakes herself back to reality rolling
him to his side so she can remove the shirt. She thinks that is
probably enough. Now she just needs to get him to lie on the bed
correctly instead of catty cornered so she'll have room to lie down
and get some rest too.

Samantha lives in a very small efficiency
apartment that consists of the living-bedroom combination, a small
kitchen and a bathroom so there is no place else to sleep. She
pushes and tugs but she can't budge him an inch.

Frustrated Sam begs, "Come on Stump, help me
here! Move over please."

Amazingly, Stump moves to the side of the
bed, unfastens his pants and slides them and his underwear off his
legs before dropping them to the floor next to the bed. Then he
immediately starts snoring softly again.

Sam is shocked and spellbound by his
powerfully built, completely bare body lying in her bed. Oh my!
What a gorgeous male specimen! Her heart is pounding and her breath
is coming is short, shallow gasps. She has never seen a completely
naked man before. The muscles on this specimen are unbelievable!
After several long minutes of studying him from head to toe she
forces herself to turn away and heads for the bathroom. She has got
to get a grip!

She slips out of her clothes and back into
her floor length flannel nightgown. She takes a deep calming breath
and then she silently goes back to the living room. She takes one
long last look at his scrumptious body, turns out the lights so she
can't see him and sinks down next to Stump on the bed pulling the
blankets up over their bodies. The room is as black as pitch but
once her eyes adjust she can barely make out the shadows of the
furniture.

Lying there in the bed, her back to him, she
tries to relax and go to sleep but every time she closes her eyes
all she sees is that gorgeous male body and she is overcome with
feelings she has never experienced before. Her breathing becomes
shallow and she has a tingling sensation in her nerve endings.

For the most part, Samantha Wells has led a
very sheltered life. She was raised in southern Alabama by her
grandparents who were very religious and very strict. She was never
allowed to wear makeup or dress provocatively. Sam had never even
been on a date until last year after she started her job with the
park service. She knows she's not very attractive, men have never
paid any attention to her, but she craves a husband and children.
It is the one thing she wants most from life. She has a lot of male
friends, but she wants more, she wants a family of her very
own.

She is extremely embarrassed by the fact that
she is twenty-five years old and still a virgin. All of the girls
at college made fun of the fact that she had never had sex and
teased her unmercifully. It hurt Sam terribly. Now she doesn't tell
anyone she is a virgin and she is too humiliated to ever let a man
get close enough to learn her secret. It's a catch twenty-two
situation. So, she just doesn't even date.

As she is lying in bed next to Stump trying
to relax and go to sleep a crazy idea floats through her mind. She
shakes her head, no, Sam, that is too bizarre! Her impetuous self
says, Samantha, don't be ridiculous! Why not? You may never get
another chance! Think about it, Stump is under the influence of
drugs. If you can just rouse him enough, you can have sex with him
and he won't know, or at least he won't remember that you are a
virgin. Then your problem will be solved! Do it!

Samantha argues with herself for some time
before she makes her decision. Then, her mind made up, she thinks,
all right, what do I need to do first? She's read hundreds of books
and articles about sex. She has a very good idea about what sex is
and even knows the mechanics of how to do it, what she doesn't know
is how to get his shaft hard enough to penetrate her hymen. The
books all talked about something they called foreplay, whatever
that is.

All right, she thinks, I'll start by touching
him. I've got to at least try! Turning back toward Stump who is
lying on his back, she pulls back the blankets and raises herself
up on one elbow next to him. She moves her other hand to his chest.
She runs her fingers through the thick mat of hair on his chest and
shivers of something she's not familiar with course through her
body. Excited, she sits up on her knees next to him on the bed and
places both of her hands on his chest running them over the bulging
muscles, lightly tracing each rib with her nails, and curling her
fingers in his thick chest hair. Mmmmm! Yes, she loves that
feeling. The hair tickles the palms of her hands and it causes
shivers of excitement all down her body.

When she accidently lightly scrapes her nails
across one of his male nipples she feels him jerk and she quickly
pulls her hands away, her eyes rounding in fear, her heart
pounding. When he doesn't wake but continues snoring softly, she
takes a deep breath to bolster her courage and again places her
hands on his chest and continues to move her hands through his
thick, sexy chest hair savoring the feeling. Then she slowly moves
them down over his washboard abs. Oh my! She is fascinated because
it is such a paradox. Rock hard muscle covered with skin as soft as
a baby's behind. Wow! He is so gorgeous! She has a strong urge to
lay her face on the soft skin of his stomach and dip her tongue
into his navel. She mentally shakes herself. Sam, stop it, stay
focused on your objective!

Instead, she circles his navel with her nails
lightly tickling his skin. Then she slowly moves one hand down,
down, until she makes contact with his male member. Her heart is
pounding now and her breath is coming in short shallow gasps. Oh
God, he's getting hard! She slowly explores him lightly moving her
fingers down the shaft to its base and then back up the sides all
the way to the tip. She gently holds his sack in her hands rolling
his testicles between her fingers. Oh wow! This is so exhilarating!
As her fingers lightly touch him she feels his member stiffening
and her heart begins pounding harder. She is so thrilled. Her plan
is going to work!

She continues to touch him until he becomes
fully engorged. She is awestruck by that part of him. She has never
seen, well felt because she can't actually see him, a male fully
engorged in all his glory and it is very exciting. She did that!
She caused him to get hard!

Now what should she do? She knows she's got
to get in a position so that she can insert his shaft into her
vagina and break her hymen. When she tries to throw her leg across
him she gets tangled in her floor length flannel gown so without a
second thought she pulls it over her head and tosses it to the
floor.

Now, she slowly moves her leg across his body
and slides up until she is sitting astraddle him. She sits very
still and listens until she is sure she hears his soft snore. She
can feel his shaft poking her in her behind. Her heart is pounding
now and her breathing is ragged. A fine sheen of perspiration coats
her body. She places her hands on his chest and leans forward on
her arms raising her hips trying to find a position where she can
slide his shaft inside of her but nothing she tries works.
Damn!

She tries and tries to find the correct
position and finally she becomes so tired and frustrated she just
relaxes her arms until she is lying chest to chest with him, the
thick mat of hair on his chest abrading her sensitive nipples.
Mmmmm, that feels nice. She slides her chest back and forth
enjoying the sensation. Oooohhh yes, what a wonderful feeling!

As she is sliding her breasts around on his
chest she realizes his shaft is poking at the entrance to her
warmth, so she slowly slides down, down taking him inside her. Her
heart is pounding. It's going to work! When she encounters the
barrier, she takes a deep breath and with one big shove impales
herself on his bulging shaft. Her breath catches in her lungs,
there is a moment of minor pain, and then she only feels fullness.
She is still lying chest to chest with Stump, his member buried
deep in her warmth. It worked! She is no longer a virgin! Now
what?
