Bret Maverick squinted his beady little eyes at the man across the

table, then down at the four cards lying on the table in front of him:

the four, five and six of clubs, the deuce of spades.

Then he glanced over at the other man's cards: pair of deuces --

hearts and diamonds -- king of spades, ace of hearts.

"Well," he drawled, "My Pappy always said not to draw to an inside

straight." He grinned. "But my Pappy didn't play much poker." He

pushed a stack of chips into the center of the table.

"Last card," the dealer said. He tossed a card on the other man's

hand: the queen of clubs.

"Pair of deuces," the dealer announced. "Your card, Mr. Maverick."

He tossed the card down with a crisp snap. The three of spades.

There was a gasp of appreciation. A straight. Maverick reached for

the pot.

"Thank you, gentlemen," Maverick grinned. "I believe I'll call it a

night."

"Wait a minute," his opponent growled. "Don't I get a chance to win

my money back?"

"In case you hadn't noticed," Maverick growled back, his eyes

narrowing. "We've been docked for the last hour, it's three in the

morning, and you, sir, are extremely intoxicated."

Maverick stood up and pushed the chips to the dealer. "Put these on

my tab."

The dealer nodded. Maverick strode toward the door.

INTRODUCTION (Commercial break)

Back in the days when Westerns ruled television this program was

indeed a maverick -- a western with a sense of humor.

In the first few episodes, it was a fairly straight series about a

cardsharp and his adventures on the frontier. Then a bored

scriptwriter slipped in some stage directions for James Garner to look

at someone with "his beady little eyes." Garner thought this was

great fun, and played the scene for laughs. It worked. Soon the

entire series took on a satirical orientation.

James Garner was Bret Maverick. But the workload of getting enough

episodes filmed was too great, and he was soon joined by his brother
Bart Maverick, played by Jack Kelly. They alternated as the lead

character, but were sometimes seen together as well.

In 1960, Garner walked out on the series and the studio, demanding a

better contract. Warner Brothers replaced him on the series by

introducing another Maverick, dapper Beau Maverick, played by Roger

Moore, a Texan who moved to England after the Civil War.

Still another brother, Brent, was brought in during the final season

in 1961. A court held that Garner could not be held to his contract,

and Garner never returned to the series.

The original series spawned a couple of reunion tv-movies in later

years, two other series "The New Maverick" and "Bret Maverick", and a

theatrical remake with Mel Gibson in Garner's role. Garner himself

played a sheriff in the movie.

While I don't recall the series actually specifying the year, I have

-- for reasons that will become evident -- set the story in 1875,

about two years after the events chronicled in my "Have Gun Will

Travel" story. Some of the characters from that story appear in this

one.

Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster, Music by David Buttolph

Who is the tall, dark stranger there?

Maverick is the name.

Riding the trail to who knows where

Luck is his companion

Gamblin' is his game.

Smooth as the handle on a gun

Maverick is the name.

Wild as the wind in Oregon

Blowin' up a canyon,

Easier to tame:

Riverboat ring your bell,

Fare-thee-well, Annabel!

Luck is the lady that he loves the best.

Natchez to New Orleans,

Living on jacks and queens,

Maverick is a legend of the West,

Maverick is the legend of the West.

=====================================================================

Maverick: "Balls to the Wall"

The night air was cool; it was early spring here in Kentucky, the

second week of May, and the weather hadn't warmed up quite yet.

Maverick strode up to the front doors of the Galt House, carrying his

small bag. He rang the bell at the front desk.

"Room, sir?" The sleepy desk clerk asked.

Maverick nodded. The clerk got a key from a box behind him. "Just

sign in, sir. You'll have to carry your own baggage. No help this

time o'night."

"No problem," Maverick smiled.

He checked the room number, and walked toward the staircase.



Maverick lay in his bed; small hotel sounds around him. There was a

knock at the door.

He reached for his gun, and went to the door in his undershorts.

"Who is it?"

"Do you have a woman in that room?" a male voice asked.

Maverick opened the door a crack. "Hell, no," he grimaced.

The man grinned. "Want one?"

He pulled a woman into view. She was plainly dressed, but overly

made-up.

"Two bucks for an hour; five bucks she's yours all night."

Maverick grimaced. But there was something in the woman's face -- a

sort of "help me please" look.

"One moment," he said, pushing the door closed.

He went back into the room, tugged on his trousers, and dug out a

five-dollar gold piece from his pocket.

Still carrying his pistol, he reopened the door. He flipped the coin

to the man, and pulled the woman inside. The man scuttled down the

hallway, not turning his back on Maverick.

Maverick closed the door, and turned to face the woman.

"So what would you like?" the woman asked, "You bought me for all

night."

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-one."

"Harrumph!" Maverick grunted. He grabbed her arm, and pulled her over

to the washbowl. He dipped a cloth into the water, and scrubbed at

her face. She meekly bore his ministrations.

Her makeup off, Maverick stepped back and looked at her. "Seventeen

-- at most," he growled.

"Sixteen -- and a half," she said, softly.

"What are you doing in this business?"

"Making a buck. What business are you in?"

"Never mind." Maverick paced across the floor. "Why are you mixed up

with that pimp? You could make more money on your own."

The girl sniffed. "He's not my pimp. He just works for the pimp."

"Oh, really? Everybody gets a cut, I expect. Out of that five bucks

how much do you get?"

"Hey," the girl shouted. "Do you wanna talk or do you wanna fuck?"

"Keep your voice down," Maverick hissed. "I bought your night. I'll

do what I want to do."

The girl turned. She had unfastened a drawstring somewhere; her dress

dropped to the floor. Underneath she wore no foundation garments; she

was naked before him.

"So," she whispered, "what do you wanna do?"

The sudden, bulging erection in Maverick's pants belied his

intentions. She was quite attractive, with small but roundly full

breasts, a slim shape with wide hips, and that patch of dark fur just

over long, shapely legs.

She stepped forward and touched him; one hand on his chest, the other

groping him below. Her fingers found his rigid tool, and traced its

length.

"Ummmm," she whispered. "Are you sure you don't just want to shut up

and screw?"

She pushed him gently. He backed up, and stumbled against the bed.

His knees let go, and he fell backwards on the bed.

The girl unfastened his trousers expertly, and pulled them off, along

with his undershorts. Maverick's cock stood proudly, raising its

purple head.

The girl pounced on it, holding it with both hands while she ran her

tongue gingerly around the purple cockhead.

Maverick groaned.

She fastened her lips around the end of his shaft, and began to pump

with her hands as she sucked gently on his prick.

Maverick felt he was close to orgasm. She seemed to sense it; she

eased up, slowing her strokes to a stop.

She climbed up on him, straddling his hips, holding her cunt over his

erection. She reached down and guided his organ to the entrance to

her pussy, then lowered herself on the shaft.

She began to pump with her legs, slowly sliding up and down his shaft,

until she heard his breath get short. She stopped on the down stroke;

his cock buried deep inside her.

She paused a moment; his breath evened out. Then she began again,

sliding up and down until he held his breath.

Another stop.

Maverick looked up. She had a twisted little smile on her face. She

seemed to enjoy taking him right to the edge and stopping.

She shook her shoulders. Her tits jiggled, temptingly. Maverick

reached up and grasped her nipples, feeling them harden with his

touch.

She began to move again. Slowly sliding up and down. Maverick felt

himself approach the edge of orgasm once again.

He reached around her, pulling her torso to his, then rolled over. He

thrust his hips, driving his cock deep inside her.

He closed his eyes as the orgasm began; he felt himself pour out

through his penis.

When he opened his eyes again, she was looking at him, a little smile

on her face.

"Still wanna talk?" she asked.

=====================================================================

Meanwhile, in another part of town...

"Well, well, well, 'Big Jim' Melloy!"

The voice was commanding. The big man at the bar turned to face the

owner of the voice, some part of his indoctrination from prison taking

effect.

He recognized the man immediately, of course. It had only been five

years since he had last seen Don Keno ... in San Francisco, running

out of a warehouse, leaving him behind to be taken in.

"Keno," he said, his voice low.

"Long time, no see," Keno grinned at him. "When did you get out of

the Big House?"

"Two months ago." Keno turned his back on Keno, and picked up his

drink.

"Are your feelings that hard? You won't talk to your old boss?" Keno

asked. He stepped up to the bar, and motioned for the bartender.

"Nah," Melloy grimaced. "I've just left that life behind. I'm going

straight. I've got a new job -- and the pay's good."

"Not as good as you had in Frisco," Keno winked.

"Better. Clean money, too. I don't want to spend any more time in

the Federal pen."

"What business are you in?"

"Horses."

"Stealing them?" Keno grinned.

"Training them. Race horses." Melloy drank from his glass, stalling.

"My boss is a rich fella from Jersey. He has a good stable, a couple

of nice horses. He brought us here for a race this Monday."

"Are you any good? As a trainer, I mean."

Melloy grinned. "Yep. I'll have to say that I am."

"Then maybe you can give me a tip."

Melloy smiled grimly. "I hear you need one. Don't they call you

'Stubby' now?"

Keno's face hardened. "Nobody calls me that. Nobody alive, that is."

Melloy snorted derisively. "Well -- Stubby -- I'd like to say it's

been a pleasure seeing you again, but... it hasn't." He looked at the

smaller man and a grim smile spread over his face.

Keno's face was ashen. He came to realize that Melloy was towering

over him -- seeming to grow larger. He backed up a step.

"Besides," Melloy continued, "there's something I believe I owe you."

He moved quickly, his hand forming a fist even as it moved toward

Keno's face. A short, quick swing -- long practiced under the guards'

watchful eyes in prison. His knuckles contacted with Keno's chin, and

Keno went out like a light.

Keno's knees buckled, and Melloy caught his collapsing body by the

collar. He draped Keno over the bar, his head on his crossed arms as

if he were asleep.

Then with a triumphant, self-satisfied smile on his face, he walked

out of the bar.

........................................................

The dawn's early light was slipping through the drawn shutters. Bart

Maverick's eyes cracked open.

The train's rumbling was constant. The vibrations carried through to

the bunk. Even in private luxury cars like this one the beds were not

very comfortable -- or very large. Maverick felt himself teetering on

the outside edge of the mattress.

The warm body beside him stirred softly, and memories of the night

before flooded his mind. He felt his body responding to his thoughts,

his penis erecting, pressing into the crack of the woman's ass.

She moaned gently in her slumber.

He moved his hand, sliding it from her soft belly up to the swell of

her breast. She pressed back against him, cuddling.

"Bart, you're insatiable," she whispered.

"Seven always was my lucky number," he whispered back.

Using small movements, she turned over onto her back. Bart kissed

her, his tongue darting over her lips and through her teeth to find

hers. His hand massaged one breast, as he slipped one leg between

hers.

He moved slowly, sliding over her until he was between her legs; she

lifted her knees, and Bart's cock slipped into her cunt.

She moaned as he filled her up again, the base of his cock pressing

against her clit.

He lay there unmoving, enjoying the feel of his sword in her sheath,

as they continued to kiss passionately.

She began to move her hips, rocking her pelvis forward and back. His

cock slid about an inch each way, rubbing against her clit. Her

breath began to get shallow and fast, and her body tensed. Her tongue

stopped responding to his because her attention was drawn to another

part of her body.

He broke the kiss, and nuzzled his face into her neck, holding her

tightly.

She held her breath; then her body quivered, and her pussy contracted

around his cock. Maverick held still until the shivering stopped,

then began to move his hips, a slow, steady stroke. His cock slid

out, then deeply into her.

As he neared orgasm, he held his head up, and looked at her face. She

looked back at him through half-opened eyes, a small, happy smile on

her face.

Then he climaxed. He pushed himself deep inside her as his cock

jerked, and the semen flowed. He dropped back down on top of her, his

penis still inside her, but losing its stiffness.

"Mmmmm," she moaned. "Are you sure you don't want to go for eight?"

Outside, a conductor shouted "Next stooop, Louisville!"

"Sorry," Bart mumbled. "That's where I'm heading."

She smiled back at him. "Me, too. My husband's meeting me at Union

Station."

Maverick sighed. "Then I suppose we'd better get moving."

She nodded.

Neither of them moved.

Bart's penis gave a little shudder, and began to inflate again.

"Now, that's the kind of movement I like," she whispered.

........................................................

Bret turned over in the bed. The girl turned over, too, cuddling up

to his bare back, one hand reaching over his waist.

Bret felt her hand slide down, and her fingers wrap themselves around

his flaccid penis.

She held it gently; and it began to swell in her hand.

"There's life in the old hoss yet," she whispered.

"Wait a minute," Bret whispered back.

"Why?" she insisted, tugging on his penis. "You paid for a whole

night."

"This may not be the time to mention it, but it's morning."

"Not in here," she grinned.

She rolled Bret over onto his back, and straddled him, sitting on his

thighs, with both her hands around his tool. She stroked his cock,

her thumbs rubbing his cockhead until he was fully erect.

She moved forward, raising herself over his shaft and guided it into

her hot, wet hole.

She settled down on his pole, taking him completely inside her. She

held still, grinning down at him.

Bret looked up at her. "You look like a woman who wants something."

"You might say that." She diddled with the hair on Bret's chest.

"Suppose -- just suppose -- that I wanted to get away from my ... um,

... you know, the guy who keeps the money I make."

"Your pimp," Bret prompted.

She nodded. "My pimp. How do you suppose you might be able to

persuade him?"

Bret pondered. "One way would be to offer enough money..."

"I don't have any money."

"Neither do I -- at least not that much. Does he gamble?"

"Sometimes. I think so. Do you think you might 'win' me?"

"Why are you so anxious to get free of him? Is it just money?"

She frowned. "Not money at all. He beats me -- beats us, all of the

girls in his 'stable'. See this?" She pulled back her upper lip.

One of her upper molars was missing. "He knocked this tooth out once,

just because I wouldn't go down on him."

Bret's eyebrow raised. "What would I do with you if I won you?"

She grinned. "Please try. Won't you try?"

Bret ran his hands up her thighs, and rested them on her hips. His

cock was still deep inside her, her pussy tight around his erection.

"Yeah, I'll try. Who is this guy?"

"His name is Keno. Don Keno."

Bret furrowed his brow. That name was familiar.

"Do people call him 'Stubby'?"

"Not to his face. The story is that some fellow in San Francisco shot

his cock off."

"If it was San Francisco, it was more likely some fellow bit it off,"

Bret laughed quietly. "I heard the story -- but I heard it was a

woman shot it off."

"Then you'll do it?" She looked into his eyes.

"Yeah," he nodded. "Yeah, I'll do it."

"Goody," she giggled. She began to bounce up and down, sliding up and

down Maverick's fire-pole.

"Oh, gawd," Bret muttered. "What have I gotten myself into this

time?"

..........................................................

Bart watched through the train window as the woman descended the steps

and stepped into the arms of a man standing at the side of the track.

When the two of them turned and walked toward the station, he stepped

off the train himself.

He whistled a little tune as he strolled toward the station, carrying

his small carpetbag.

...........................................................

"Big Jim" Melloy yawned. Those late nights and early rising were

getting to him. He stepped out of the horse barns, and bent

backwards, his hands behind the small of his back, and stretched his

spine.

He walked down the row of stalls, sidestepping a pile of horse shit

that hadn't yet been swept up.

"Hey, Melloy!" a voice behind him shouted.

Melloy turned. A young boy was running toward him. "What's the rush,

Tony?" he asked.

"I got a message for ya," the boy panted. "Crystal Johnson wants you

to meet her tonight down to the Galt House."

Melloy's brow furrowed. Crystal... Crystal... Then the light dawned.

The hooker he had spent a night with last week. What would she want

with him?

"Thanks, kid," he nodded, and flipped the boy a nickel.

"Gee!" the boy grinned. "Thanks."

He strode on down the lane between the barns, thinking.

............................................................

The small 'back room' of the tavern was dark and smoky. But they

couldn't very well play in the open on a Sunday.

Bret Maverick sat at the poker table again, pondering his hand.

Finally, he selected three cards, put them face down on the table, and

said "three" quietly.

The cards were dealt. He picked them up, and inwardly sighed without

letting it show outwardly. Nothing but a pair of threes.

The man to his left puffed his cigar. "I'll stay with what I have,"

he said, and lay his cards face down on the table.

The dealer took one. Maverick folded.

"Full house," the cigar smoker grinned. "Kings over threes. I had

triple crowns."

"So Col. Clark," the dealer said, gathering up the cards, "is

everything all ready for the track opening tomorrow?"

Clark puffed his cigar again. "Sure is. The new pari-mutuel machines

are in, the horses are all here and working out. The weather's pretty

good. The track is level... I think we're in for a fine day of

racing."

Maverick looked up at Clark. "Pari-mutuel machines?"

"It's a way to pool all the bets on a race, Mr. Maverick."

"I see. Are you going to put bookmakers out of business?"

Clark laughed. "There have been some complaints. But it's a way for

the Jockey Club to make back our money. I spent a lot of time in

France studying the way it works."

"I see," Maverick nodded.

The man across from Maverick growled, "Are we playing cards, or

advertising for your race?"

"Both, Captain Bodgit," laughed Clark. "Deal 'em."

"I also went to England, and watched the procedures there for races.

The race tomorrow is named after my favorite English race, the Epsom

Derby. But mine's called the Kentucky Derby."

Maverick nodded, "Catchy name."

"We'll see. I've also got a race for fillies, patterned after the

Epsom Oaks."

"Let me guess -- the Kentucky Oaks?" Maverick grinned.

"Pretty obvious, I suppose," Clark chuckled. "So, let's play poker."

He picked up his hand, and Maverick did the same.

...........................................................

"Hey, girl," the skinny fellow growled. "Where you been?"

"I've been around," Crystal snapped.

"Then where's the money? You hustling for yourself?" The skinny man
grabbed her arm. "You know Keno won't put up with that."

"Leggo," Crystal hissed, pulling away. She reached into her dress and

pulled out two gold coins. "Here's the five bucks for the day -- and

another five bucks for tonight. Shove off."

The skinny fellow looked at the coins in his hand. "That feller last

night must've liked you."

"More than you'll ever know," Crystal grinned, grimly.

...........................................................

Bart Maverick stepped up to the front desk of the Galt House and rang

the bell.

"Help you, sir?" the clerk asked when he appeared.

"You have a room for Maverick?" Bart asked.

The clerk pulled out a large book and opened it to a marked page. He

ran a finger down a column of writing.

"Yes sir, Mr. Maverick. You're in 203." He turned and reached into a

cubbyhole behind him. "Here's your key. Do you need help with your

bags?"

Bart shook his head, and lifted the carpetbag. "This is all I have

with me, thanks."

He turned and walked toward the stairs.

...........................................................

'Big Jim' strode into the lobby of the Galt House. He glanced around,

but didn't see the girl.

Suddenly, someone took hold of his arm. He turned quickly, reaching

for the gun he no longer wore.

"Easy big fella, it's just me." Crystal grinned up at him.

"What did you want to see me about?" Melloy asked.

"Not here," she said. "Let's go upstairs."

"Upstairs? You have a room here?"

"It belongs to a friend of mine. C'mon." She led him to the wide

stairway.

As she walked beside him, Melloy smelled her sweet perfume, and the

warmth radiating from her body. He remembered that night last week

after he picked her up in the tavern, and he felt a swelling begin in

his pants.

They reached the hotel room door, and she produced a key. As she

turned the lock, she glanced down at his crotch. "Oh, boy..." she

glanced up at his face. "I think you might have gotten the wrong idea

about why I called you up here."

"Maybe, but it's a good idea, none the less." Melloy grinned at her.

"Come on in here," Crystal said.

She stepped into the room. Sitting on the bed was a man dressed in

black, sorting through the contents of a carpetbag.

The man looked up, startled.

"Who are you?" both the girl and the man said at once.

"Bart Maverick," Bart said.

"I'm Crystal. Are you related to Bret Maverick? This is his room."

"My brother," Bart nodded. "Damn. It's not the first time a hotel

has gotten us mixed up. But sometimes it works for the best." He

looked Crystal over, appreciatively. "You don't quite look like

Bret's type," he mused.

A little frown crossed Crystal's face. "What type do you mean?"

"The cheap floozie," Bart smiled.

Crystal chuckled. "Floozie, maybe. But not cheap."

Bart's eyebrow raised.

Behind Crystal, Melloy cleared his throat. Crystal turned.

"Sorry, Jim," she said, softly. "Bart, this is 'Big Jim' Melloy."

Maverick stood up and extended his hand. Melloy shook it gravely.

"So what did you two come up to my brother's room to do?" Bart asked,

a mischievous grin on his face.

"Actually, we came up here to discuss your brother's plan," Crystal

said.

"Anything my brother gets mixed up in usually ends up involving me,"

Bart grinned. "Tell me about this plan."

...........................................................

Bret Maverick threw in his cards. Luck was no lady tonight.

"I think I'll pack it in," he said.

Clark grinned at him. "Well, son, if you want, c'mon out to the

Jockey Club tomorrow and watch the races."

Maverick nodded. "I might just do that." He shook Clark's

outstretched hand. "Goodnight, gentlemen."

He walked out the door, a little unsteadily. They do make some fine

bourbon in this state.

He stepped out into the street, warily looking around him. It was a

couple of blocks to the Galt House. He started walking, weaving just

a bit.

A form stepped out of the shadows between buildings.

"Mr. Maverick?" the man asked.

"Depends on who's asking."

"My name is Don Keno."

"So?"

"I was told that you had engaged the services of one of my employees

for the day and the night. I was wondering what you were doing out

here."

Maverick frowned. "I don't see that it's any of your business.

Besides-- no man can perform constantly for twenty-four hours."

"I see," Keno chuckled. "Then why pay for what you're not using?"

Maverick was becoming impatient. "Because when I want it, I want it

available. Now get out of my way." He started to step around the

smaller man.

Keno stepped into his path. "Then perhaps I should charge you more."

"Like hell. I struck the deal with your subordinate."

Keno poked a finger into Bret's chest. "You are hoarding my whore.

She could be making money for me, and you're keeping her away from

me."

Maverick's mind -- even through the bourbon -- was sharp. He smiled

inwardly that Keno had found him rather than having to seek him out.

He began to exaggerate the apparent effects of the bourbon.

"Tell you what, fella," Bret slurred. "I'm a little intoxicated

tonight. Meet me at the Galt House in the morning, and we'll discuss

terms."

"I want to 'discuss terms' now." Keno prodded again with his finger.

Maverick quickly reached up, grabbed Keno's finger, and twisted. Keno

howled in pain.

"I said tomorrow morning. Now, unless you want people to call you

'Stubby', take your finger and shove off."

Maverick let go, and Keno backed away. "Tomorrow," he shouted.

Maverick walked past him, toward the hotel.

Keno shouted after him, "You... crud!"

Maverick smiled -- he had him hooked.

..........................................................

Bart Maverick's eyes sparked. "It's brilliant," he said. "It'll

work. And I can tell Bret had a hand in concocting it."

"You want to help?" Crystal asked.

"I insist on it." Maverick looked at the other two. "In the

meantime, I'll go downstairs and get this room situation straightened

out."

He stood up and walked to the door. As he reached for the doorknob,

he turned and said, "Now don't do anything I wouldn't do..."

Crystal chuckled. 'Big Jim' blushed a little.

Bart stepped out the door and closed it behind him.

Crystal turned to the big man, and said, "You know, if this all works

out like I think it will, you're in for a big reward."

"What kind of reward?" Melloy asked.

"Well, let's put it this way," she said, putting a hand on his thigh,

"Keno has a stable of about twenty of us. If we pull this off, you're

in for all the pussy you can handle."

Melloy grinned.

"In the meantime," Crystal said, echoing Bart's comment earlier, "how

about I do something about that swelling?"

Her hand slipped up his leg, and unfastened his trousers. She reached

in and drew out Melloy's penis. It was very hard, its purplish head

pulsing with his heartbeats.

Crystal leaned forward, and ran her tongue around his cockhead.

Melloy moaned.

She pressed her lips around the end of his cock, her tongue rubbing

the underside of his glans while her fingers began to stroke the

shaft.

Melloy moaned again.

Crystal slipped her other hand under his balls, lifting them slightly,

cupping them gently while her tongue swirled over the end of his

penis.

She felt his scrotum tighten. She pushed her mouth down over his

cock, taking him deeply.

He grunted; a splash of hot fluid hit the back of her throat. She

kept stroking his shaft as he came, swallowing each spurt of his

emission.

When he finally stopped, she sat back and looked a him. His eyes were

closed, a satisfied little smile on his face.

Impulsively, she leaned over and kissed his cheek. She tugged him to

his feet. He tucked himself into his pants as they walked toward the

door.

"See you in the morning," she whispered.

Melloy nodded, and stepped out the door. He heard it close behind

him.

...........................................................

Bret Maverick slipped the key to his room in the lock. He opened the

door. The room beyond was dark.

He was used to moving in darkness, so he got undressed without

lighting the lamp. He slipped between the covers on the bed, arched

and twisted his back to work out the kinks, and lay back on the

pillow. He sighed heavily, blowing out the tension.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when the hand snaked over his belly.

"Hello, sweetie," Crystal whispered. "Did you forget about me?"

............................................................

Bart Maverick mounted the stairs, heading for his brother's room to

retrieve his carpetbag. As he approached the door he paused; there

was a familiar sound behind that door, a creaking of bedsprings, heavy

breathing, soft moans.

Bart grinned. He very quietly turned the knob, and the door opened.

He quickly and silently slid into the room and closed the door behind

him.

If anyone was better at moving in the dark than Bret, it was Bart.

Many times he had slipped into and out of his brothers' rooms in the

night while they slept -- or were otherwise occupied.

In fact, Bart's eyes quickly adjusted to the dim light that managed to

come in through the window. He could see the man and woman in the

bed. The woman was on top, nearly upright, using her legs to piston

herself on Bret's cock.

Bart found a chair in the corner and sat down, his eyes riveted to the

form on the bed. The woman's breasts jiggled nicely as she bobbed up

and down.

She threw her head back; long hair slithered down her back, which

arched, thrusting her breasts upward.

"Oh, yeah," she breathed. "Mmmmm."

She held herself still a moment, her body visibly vibrating. Then she

slid forward, lying across Bret's chest.

Bret rolled them over so that the woman was now on her back. He

reached down and put his elbows under her knees, and lifted her legs

up. Bart could see Bret's cock slide deep into her again, as she

groaned appreciatively.

Bret was on his knees, holding the woman's hips up to his thrusts.

Bart silently opened his pants, releasing his cock and relieving the

pressure. He stroked his cock slowly.

Bret grunted, and thrust deep into the woman's cunt. Bart saw his ass

tighten. Bret held still deep inside her as he came, then dropped her

ass back to the bed and slid up beside her. Bart tucked himself back

into his pants.

They lay there cuddling until Bart cleared his throat.

Bret sat up quickly. "Bart!"

"I just came for my bag, but I stayed for the show," Bart grinned at

him.

Bret reached over, struck a match, and lit the bedside lamp. The

woman -- girl, actually, now that Bart could see better -- was the one

he had met earlier. She turned over on her side, demurely resting one

arm over her bare breasts.

"Crystal told me all about the plan," Bart said, picking up his

carpetbag. "Looks good."

"Did you get your own room this time?" Bret asked.

Bart nodded. "They gave me yours by mistake... that's how I met

Crystal. But I've straightened that all out, now. Well, I'll be

going..."

"Wait a minute," Crystal interjected. "There seems to be some

pressure here that needs to be relieved."

"Pressure?" Bart asked.

Crystal pointed at the bulge in the front of Bart's pants. "Just call

me the safety valve," she grinned. "C'mere."

Bart stepped over to the side of the bed. Crystal reached up and

unfastened Bart's pants, and his nearly-erect cock popped out. She

knelt on the bed, and put her lips to the head of his cock.

"Holy shit," Bart moaned. "You really know what you're doing."

Her tongue expertly moved over the head of Bart's cock, as she gently

sucked, bringing him to full erection. As her mouth worked over his

cockhead, she began to stroke his shaft with one hand, using the other

to support herself and keep from falling off the edge of the bed.

Bret just sat there, admiring his point of view. Crystal's ass was

spread wide, hovering just over her feet as she worked on Bart's cock.

Soon Bret realized that other parts of his body had noticed the

display as well, because he had come to another full erection.

He moved around behind Crystal, then using both hands, lifted her hips

slightly, slid his cock into position, and slipped it into her wet,

hot hole.

Crystal gasped a little as Bret entered her, but fell back into her

rhythm quickly. She continued to work Bart's tool professionally as

Bret thrust into her cunt.

Bart grunted; his body stiffened, and his cock ejected globs of semen

into the back of Crystal's throat. Bart backed up a little. Crystal

kept a grip on his cock, stroking it gently while Bret pumped her from

behind.

Bret pushed in deeply, pulling her hips toward his as he hissed

through his teeth.

His balls released another flow of come deep into her pussy. Bret

opened his eyes to see his brother grinning at him.

"You picked a good one," Bart winked. "Even if she's a bit young."

...........................................................

The next morning, Bret straightened his string tie as he descended the

hotel stairs to the lobby. His eyes narrowed as he spotted Don Keno

standing below him.

"It's morning, Crud," Keno hissed.

"Indeed it is, Stubby." Maverick almost grinned.

Keno began to fume. "Don't call me that," he growled. "Nobody calls

me that."

"That's not what I heard," Maverick snapped. "Now, how shall we

settle this?"

"Settle what? You owe me money."

"Tell you what. I'll play you one hand of poker. If you win, you get

five hundred dollars. If I win, you release all of the girls you have

in your 'stable', and leave town."

Keno thought a moment, the effort showing on his face. He shrugged,

"Why not?"

"Meet me in the tavern next door. Five minutes." Maverick turned and

walked toward the door to the street.

"Don't be late," Keno growled after him.

Bart Maverick watched the goings on from the top of the stairs. When

he saw Keno leave, he motioned for Crystal to follow him, and silently

descended the stairs, across the lobby, and out the side door.

...........................................................

Bret sat at the table, his back to the wall. Keno pushed through the

doorway, and strode to the table.

Keno sat down, and pointed at the deck of cards on the table. "Toss

those out," he commanded. "I want new cards."

Bret nodded. "I would, too. Bartender!"

The shirt-sleeved man behind the bar turned. It was Bart. "Yes,

sir?"

"A new pack of cards, please."

Bart bent over behind the bar, then straightened up and tossed Bret a

wrapped card-pack.

He handed the new deck to Keno. "You shuffle. I'll deal."

Keno opened the pack, removed the deck, and began to shuffle. It was

obvious to Maverick that he was trying to look unprofessional at it.

After several shakings and shufflings, Keno set the deck on the table.

Maverick picked up the deck. "Five card draw." He dealt out the

cards, and set the rest of the deck on the table.

He picked up his hand, glanced at it, and pulled out three cards, and

set them on the table.

Keno studied his cards, pulled out one, and said, "I'll just take

one."

"Good hand, Stubby?" Maverick's eyes twinkled.

"Are you sure you don't want to raise the stakes?" Keno's smile was

sickeningly sweet.

Bret narrowed his beady eyes. "I think I've made myself clear." He

dealt one card to Keno, and took three for himself. His brow creased

into a scowl as he looked at the cards.

"Four kings," Keno said, triumphantly, laying his cards on the table.

He stood up, his hand extended. "That will be five hundred dollars,

Mr. Maverick."

"Don't you even want to see my cards?" Maverick smiled slyly. He lay

his hand on the table. "I believe four aces beats four kings."

"NO!" Keno shouted. "I won't do it!"

"Are you welching on your wager?" Maverick chided. "Sit down."

"Another hand. Double the bet." Keno almost pleaded.

"How can you double your wager?" Maverick leaned back in his chair.

"Now, if you were to add some cash..."

"Okay. If you win, I release my girls, and pay you five hundred, and

leave town. If I win, you owe me a thousand."

"I'm a little short on time," Maverick said, pulling out his pocket

watch. "How about we just draw for high card?"

Keno grabbed the deck, and shuffled it, his expertise at cards

showing.

He set the deck on the table. Maverick cut the cards.

"Draw first," Bret ordered.

Keno blew on his fingers, then reached for the pack. He picked up

about a third of the cards, and turned them upwards. "King of clubs,"

he grinned.

Bret reached over and picked up the top card and flipped it over.

"Ace of spades."

Maverick rose, towering over the shorter man. "I believe you have

some bags to pack. And I have a horse race to see."

"Wait," Keno sputtered. "The race... One last bet."

"I'm listening," Maverick said, in a deliberately low tone. "Although

I doubt you have much room to wager in."

"What else could I wager? More money?"

Maverick shook his head. His eyes narrowed. "Have you ever heard of

the term 'gelding'?"

Keno's eyes widened. "You mean...?"

"You bet," Maverick grinned. "You win, you take two thousand dollars.

I win, and I get the girls' release, five hundred dollars, and two

balls."

Maverick leaned on the table. "You just took a bet based on a

one-in-thirteen chance. You've got better odds in this race. I'll

pick a horse, and you pick a horse. Whichever horse crosses the

finish line first wins -- no matter which horse wins the race."

Keno nodded nervously. "Agreed."

"Now, shall we go to the track?"

"You go ahead," Keno shivered. "I'll meet you there."

...........................................................

Maverick stood beside the wooden fence, looking out at the track. A

large man with a cigar strode up and stood beside him.

"Afternoon, Col. Clark," Maverick smiled.

"Beautiful afternoon," Clark smiled. "Did you check out my

Pari-mutuel machines?"

Maverick nodded. He produced a couple of tickets from his pocket.

"Marvelous system," he said.

...........................................................

"Melloy!" Keno shouted.

The big man spun. "Hush!" he hissed. "Keno, you're not supposed to

be back here."

"You gotta help me," Keno said, huffing and puffing. "You gotta tell

me who's going to win this race."

Melloy smiled. "You looking for a sure thing?"

Keno nodded.

"There ain't no such thing. There isn't any gold mine in this race."

"But who's gonna win?" Keno whined. "A lot is depending on this."

"Look. I'm training a pretty fine horse. But if I were a betting

man..."

"Yes? Yes?"

"Go with Aristides. Probably the best horse in this race. Other than

mine, of course."

"Thanks. You're a ballsaver."

"A what?"

"Never mind. See you later." Keno dashed off toward the clubhouse.

...........................................................

"Keno," Maverick squinted as the smaller man arrived. "I thought you

were welching on our bet."

"Never." Keno shook his head.

Maverick handed Keno a sheet of paper. "Here are the entries for the

Derby. You pick first."

Keno looked over the names. As he read, something Melloy said rang in

his head.

"Gold Mine," he said, firmly. "My horse is Gold Mine."

"Very well," Maverick said. "Now, mine is..." He closed his eyes,

and swirled his finger over the paper. He plunged his finger down,

opened his eyes, and read the name. "Aristides."

...........................................................

Crystal stood beside Bart. "Show me the card thing again," she said.

"Oh, all right," Bart said. He held the deck in his left hand, an ace

of clubs showing on the top.

He slid his right hand over the deck, and the card was changed into a

queen of spades.

He passed his hand over it again, and it became the ace of clubs

again.

"I still didn't see it," Crystal whined.

"It's all in the hands," Bart grinned.

He slid his hand over the deck, and flipped four cards into Crystal's

hand. She looked at them. Four aces.

"How'd you do..."

"Never ask a prestidigitator the secrets of his profession," Bart

smiled. "But I will tell you one thing... Bret's better at it than I

am."

"I do know he's got good hands," Crystal laughed. "There is one thing

I wanted to ask you."

"What's that?"

"Where'd you get that hat?"

...........................................................

Bret presented his ticket at the betting window. The clerk looked at

it, and at a list posted on his side of the wall.

He tore the corner off the ticket, counted out some money, and pushed

it across the windowsill.

Bret glanced at the stack of cash, then pushed it back across the

sill. "Put this all on Aristides in the Derby race."

The clerk nodded. He made out a new ticket and handed it to Bret.

Then he turned and turned the knobs on the machine behind him,

adjusting the odds.

Maverick watched with interest until the clerk turned again to the

window. "Anything else, sir?"

"No, thanks." Bart turned and walked away from the window.

As he approached the paddock area, he looked up to see Bart and

Crystal walking toward him. Bart looked like he had dressed up for

the occasion, but he was hatless. Then Bret noticed that Crystal was

wearing Bart's hat, with the addition of a long scarf.

"Nice hat," Bret grinned.

"Bart was nice enough to loan his to me. I wouldn't want my skin to

get too dark in this sunshine," Carol smiled. "Is everything set

up?"

"Perfectly. Shall we?" He crooked his arm and Carol slipped her hand

into it. She glanced over at Bart, and he echoed the action on her

other side. The three of them strolled toward the paddock.

...........................................................

Don Keno glanced both ways. Although the barn area of the track

seemed to be busy, there was nobody within sight of him.

He slipped into the barn, and walked down the aisleway between the

stalls, checking the names of the horses chalked over the stalls.

Finding one marked "Gold Mine", he checked inside. The horse stood

alone in the stall.

Keno stepped up to the horse, and patted its shoulder. The horse
snorted and turned his head toward the intruder.

"Easy, boy," Keno breathed, reaching into his jacket pocket. He drew

out two cubes of sugar and a brownish pill. Holding them in his

flattened palm, he extended his hand towards the horse's nose.

The horse deftly lifted the two sugar cubes off Keno's palm with his

lips, leaving the pill. He chewed them thoughtfully.

"Here," Keno whispered, offering the pill again.

Almost reluctantly, the horse took the pill and chewed it.

"That should speed you up some," Keno whispered. "It's almost pure

caffeine."

...........................................................

'Big Jim' watched from a darkened corner as Keno sneaked out of the

barn. He stepped out of the shadows, and nodded at the two men who

were hiding in the stall across the aisle.

They too came forth from their hiding place.

"Let's get Gold Mine out here," Melloy said.

"How stupid is that guy?" one of them asked. "He didn't even notice

that horse was a mare."

One of the men led the mare out of Gold Mine's stall, and the other

tugged at the lead to a handsome colt, pulling him from the shadows of

another stall.

"C'mon, Gold Mine," Melloy grinned, rubbing the colt's shoulder.

"Let's go win us a horse race."

...........................................................

The colts were being saddled in the paddock. The two Mavericks and

Crystal watched as 'Big Jim' led Gold Mine around to the grooms.

Crystal waved; 'Big Jim' nodded discreetly.

The horses were saddled quickly; the jockeys -- all of which were

black, Bret noted -- mounted, and made their way to the starting line.

As they walked out onto the track, Bart began to whistle.

Bret glanced over at him, smiled, and began to hum along.

Crystal listened for a moment to the tune they were performing. "I

know that song... start over." She began to sing, in a high, clear

voice:

The sun shines bright

On My old Kentucky Home,

'Tis summer, the darkies are gay.

The corntops ripe

And the meadow's in the bloom,

And the birds make music all the day.

Several people around the Mavericks began to join in the song.

The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,

All merry, all happy and bright.

Bye and bye hard times come a knocking at the door,

Then My old Kentucky Home, good night.



By the time they reached the final lines, nearly the whole crowd was

singing.

Weep no more, my lady.

Oh, weep no more today.

We will sing one song for

My old Kentucky Home,

For My old Kentucky Home far away.

In his private box, Col. Clark pulled out a notebook and jotted down,

"Hire a band - old Kentucky Home."

...........................................................

The horses were lined up behind a flagged rope. When they were all in

place, the flag dropped.

...........................................................

Don Keno slipped through the crowd, heading away from the track. He

was almost through the gate when he felt the heavy hand on his

shoulder.

"The race is over, Mr. Keno. It's time to pay your debt."

Keno looked up to see the face of 'Big Jim' Melloy.

"Jim -- you gotta let me go. I've got to get out of here."

"No can do, Mr. Keno." Melloy grinned, his teeth showing. "Besides,

I ought to do it just for what you tried to do to my horse."

"Your horse lost," Keno whined. "He came in LAST!"

"Exactly," Melloy growled. "Which is why you've got to pay the

fiddler."

Melloy grabbed Keno's collar, and pulled him toward the horse barns.

...........................................................

Bret Maverick stood over the seated Keno. "Are you ready to pay your

debt?"

"Isn't there any other way to pay this off? I mean -- do you have

to..." Keno wheedled.

Bret shook his head. He looked up at Bart, who was standing behind

the seated man. Bart put his hands on Keno's shoulders, holding him

in the chair.

"All ready, Mr. Maverick," Melloy said. He stood with a knife in one

hand, a pan of water in the other.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Bret asked.

"Well..." Melloy smiled. "I've never done it myself, but I've seen it

done lots of times. On horses, at least."

Keno whimpered. "Please...?"

Crystal stepped up behind Melloy. "Just do it. Don't mind all that

whining. He never paid any attention to ours."

The knife blade gleamed as Melloy stepped up in front of Keno.

...........................................................

Bret and Crystal stood outside the barn.

"I'm sorry," Crystal said. "I didn't think I'd faint like that."

"No problem. I was feeling a little queasy myself."

Melloy stepped out of the barn, the pan in his hand.

"What do you want to do with these?" he asked.

"What do you ordinarily do?" Maverick asked in return.

Melloy smiled. He reached into the pan and picked up the bloody orbs,

turned and tossed them up on the roof of the barn.

Bart walked out of the barn. "I think he'll sleep a while," he said.

"Free," Crystal breathed. "We're free at last. I can't wait to tell

the girls!"

...........................................................

Bret and Bart stood at the wharf, watching the steamboats, before

boarding their soon-departing ride down-river.

Bret kept looking up the bank; finally he smiled. "Here she comes,"

he said.

Crystal bounced down the walkway, simply dressed and no makeup. She

ran up to Bret and Bart, kissing each of them on the cheek.

Bret handed her a key. "It's paid up until Saturday."

"Thanks guys," she smiled. "Are you sure you won't stay for our

little party? There's twelve girls up there who want to thank you --

personally."

Bart shook his head. "I've GOT to get back out west. This Ohio

Valley weather is wrecking my sinuses."

"Mine, too," Bret agreed. "Besides, you need to console 'Big Jim' --

he's the one who lost his job. We came out winners." He reached into

his jacket pocket. "Speaking of which, here's a little cash to tide

you over."

"Thanks again," Crystal smiled. "If you're ever in town again..."

"We'll look you up." Bart smiled. "I think our boat's about to

leave."

Crystal kissed them both again and watched as they picked up their

bags and walked across the gangplank onto the Avalon. Two men pulled

lines that raised the gangplank and swung it onto the deck.

The big wheel in the rear of the steamboat began to turn slowly,

pushing away from the wharf. Crystal waved as it began to roll down

the mighty Ohio.

...........................................................

Crystal met 'Big Jim' in the lobby of the Galt House.

"Are you ready to be properly thanked?" Crystal grinned.

There was a strange expression on Melloy's face. "Actually... um..."

"What?" Crystal asked. "What's wrong?"

"Well,..." Melloy looked a little perplexed. "It's just that what you

said -- er, promised -- was 'all the pussy I could handle'."

"Yeah -- so?"

Melloy turned and took Crystal into his arms. Looking down into her

face, he said, softly, "I think I'm holding all the pussy I can

handle."

"Oh." Crystal blushed, but her eyes twinkled. "Then kiss me. You

can propose later."

He kissed her; her lips parted and their tongues met. Melloy felt a

tingling sensation as she melted against him.

She broke the kiss after a long moment. Breathless, she whispered,

"Let's take this inside. The girls will still want to express their

thanks... but it might not be in the manner they quite expected."

...........................................................

NOTES: While I've taken some liberties with some of the traditions of

the Kentucky Derby, most of the historical data here is real. The

first Derby was run on Monday, May 17, 1875. It was also the opening

day of the new track, which was then called the Jockey Club. The

track formally became "Churchill Downs" some years later.

I used the words Stephen Foster wrote for "My old Kentucky Home",

the words that would have been sung in 1875. One word has been

changed to 'people' in the currently-used version to be politically

correct.
