Fuckin' rain. I'd managed to pick up the trail from that bastard I killed and we followed it for about a week before the rains started. This is California's idea of winter. Frankly I miss the snow. It's been years since I've seen a really good snow. With J.D.'s horse dead and Blue carryin' so much, there is no way that he can carry us both, so J.D.'s taken to walkin' in his wolf form.
We've avoided the last two towns. I'm not sure if there's a bulletin lookin' for me now that I've made a suspicious jail break. I don’t want to take the chance of gettin' clipped again. I'll straighten it out eventually. I know that San Francisco is still a long way off, but the edge of Los Angeles sits on the ocean and I promised Violet she would see the ocean. Least I can do is see it with her. As much as I want them with me, this is gettin' too dangerous. I don't wanna see either of them get hurt. We need to part. I just have to tell them. They get along well, so hopefully they'll keep together and I won't have to worry about them. But that can wait, we need to go in for supplies, the larger part of Los Angeles is still a city and we should be able to blend in well enough. I just hope hitting the bank doesn't set off any suspicions.
If they are lookin' for me there's a possibility they froze my accounts. I hope to be wrong. The horses need decent food and Violet has already said if she doesn't get a hot bath in the next few days she's going to shoot me. She's really not cut for travelin' so I don't put it past her at his point. She's really good with a rifle. She and J.D. took down a buck a few days ago. He flushed it out and she took it down. Single shot to the heart. I was impressed. When we stopped for the night J.D. became himself again, and I was glad to see him.
He kissed me and Violet as always and got on a pair of pants fast. He's always wound up after runnin' all day, but he's also aware that we’re tired. Although I think tonight I may oblige him in a run. If he can catch me he can have me.

“SO WE ARE GOING TO be hitting the city tomorrow. It's just over the ridge. How do you want to do this?” J.D. asks me, tearin’ into a piece of the roast salted deer meat.
“I think the best way would be for us to just go in. It's a big city. While Violet and I see about some money you can check out the police station. If they are lookin’ for her and me, pictures will be on the bounty board. If they aren't there ,we don't have any worries. If they are, I'll have to go incognito.”
“Which means what?”
“Lookin' like a girl I should think.” Violet smiles, stretching her legs in front of her, warming her bare toes at the fire. There's always something sexy about her when she does that.
“Pretty much.”
“I wouldn't mind seeing that.” J.D. smiles. His dimples kill me. I think I might just love them both.

IN THE MORNING I WAKE up in the leaves with J.D. It was a long run, and we fell asleep a ways from Violet. I felt bad leaving her alone, but we needed this. I needed this. There is a freein' feelin' in runnin' out your emotions. I let him catch me, then we turned back and made a strong sort of love. All teeth and hard grabs. It was like nothin' I've done before. It was fantastic. I couldn't believe the things we did to each other. I'm a bit achy, but I'm more than satisfied. I climb onto him to wake him with more kissin' and he's instantly hard and inside me. I let out a little whimper as he pulls me up close, rubbing me up and down my back. This is how every mornin' should start.

WE GET BACK TO THE camp and Violet is still sleepin', poor girl, must have waited up for us. I'll have to ravish her later once she's had that bath she wants so dearly. She'll like that. Us on a soft bed instead of the hard ground. I wonder how J.D. fucks in a bed and am aroused by the mere thought. He wraps his arms around me, kissin' on my shoulder.
“Don't get yourself goin' too much or I'll have to have you again.” He whispers into me, sendin' a shiver up my back. I bend down to wake Violet, he pulls away smackin’ my ass.
“Violet, wake up babe. We're going to get you that hot bath.”
“Hmm... Can't wait. I want good coffee too...” She rolls onto her stomach lifting herself up. “Not that your mud isn't good, lovely.” She kisses my cheek, and gives my left breast a gentle squeeze. “Can't wait to get you in another bath.” She smirks, lookin' down the front of my shirt.
“So...” I break her stare. “You gonna help a girl shop?”
“Oh certainly. I'm going to make you look scrumptious.”
“That's good.” J.D. cracks his neck to one side, then the other. “So am I walking or do I get a horse for this excursion?”
“Take Blue. Violet and me can ride Ellie in. It will help us get better acquainted with the city. I understand horses are used less frequently. They have those electric trolleys that take people around the coast. We'll meet you near the police station after we find a place to put our heads and hit a few of the shops.” I wrap my arms around his wide shoulders and kiss him goodbye.
