As Tim and Chance finish the bottle, Jenika makes her way back over to their table. Sliding her arms around Tim's neck from behind, she leans down to speak in his ear.

"Ya know, cowboy, if you ever decide to swing the other way, I'd be more than happy to fulfill your needs." She whispers next to his ear.

"Oh, I'm sure you would." Tim chuckles as he takes his last swallow of whiskey. "But my dick only swings Adam's way."

"Can't blame a girl for trying." Jenika giggles and kisses him on the cheek. "What about you, Chance?"

"I should be offended that I'm your second choice but I'm too drunk to give a sh*t." Chance laughs as he leans back into his chair.

"Let's go then." Jenika smiles as she takes Chance by the hand and pulls him up from the table.

"Once a whore always a whore." Tim says to himself as he watches Jenika pull his friend up the stairs.

"I believe yor cheatin', boy." An old-timer says from the poker table.

Tim turns around in his chair to see if Adam needed his help. Adam chuckles as he claims his loot.

"Shut up, Ike." Another cowboy growls. "He won that game fair and square. You just suck at poker."

Adam looks around to see his handsome outlaw sitting alone at the table. Tim smiles and winks at him.

"Well, that's going to be the end of it for me today." Adam smiles as he gathers his winnings. "Uh, Miss?" He stops a barmaid as she passes by. "Can you bring these fine gentlemen a bottle of your finest whiskey?" He lays the money in her hand as he gets up from the table. "Have a good day, gentlemen." He tips his hat then makes his way back over to Tim's table.

"Well, hello there, Cutie." Tim smiles. "Care to join me?"

"Don't mind if I do." Adam giggles as he sits down next to the outlaw. "Where'd Chance go?"

"He's upstairs f*cking Jenika." Tim chuckles.

"Jenika is here?" Adam asks as he motions for a couple of drinks.

"Yep. Turns out. She owns this place." Tim says as he smiles up at the barmaid as she places their drinks on the table.

"Yeah, good for her." Adam says with a bit of sarcasm in his voice as he drinks the shot of whiskey.

"You know you don't have a reason to be jealous, right?" Tim asks as he turns his eyes to his lover.

"Honey, she'd f*ck you in a heartbeat." Adam replies.

"Sweetie, she'd f*ck anybody in a heartbeat. That's what whores do." Tim chuckles.

"Timmy, I'm being serious. She'd gladly spread her legs for you." Adam pouts.

"Maybe. But I have no intentions in crawling in between them." Tim says as he takes his lover by the hand. He leans over and smiles at the pout on his boyfriend's lips. "Your legs are the only ones that I'll ever crawl between." He adds in a soft voice.

A smile plays on the blonde's lips as he leans in to meet the outlaw's lips.

"You have a way with words, Cowboy." Adam says before kissing Tim again. "Wanna go get a room?"

"Marvelous idea." Tim smiles as he stands and holds his hand down to his lover. "Shall we?"

"We shall." Adam giggles as he takes Tim's hand.

~~

The old man behind the counter at The Grand Palace Hotel smiles at the two men as they walk in.

"How may I help you, gentlemen?" He asks with a smile.

"We'd like a room, please." Tim says as he places his elbows on the counter.

"Okay." The man says as he opens the registry book. "How about rooms 103 and 112?"

"We just need one." Tim states as he looks lovingly around at his partner that had his head laying on his shoulder.

The old man's smile fades as he closes the book.

"Sorry, no rooms available." He says as he puts the book away.

"But you just said two room numbers." Tim says, giving the man a questionable look.

"I was mistaken. Those are reserved." The elderly man states as he glares at the outlaw.

"As big as this hotel is and you don't have not one room available?" Adam asks as he looks around at the couple coming in that had just gotten off the stagecoach.

"That's right." The man growls as he turns his attention to the man and his wife. "How may I help you?"

"We'd like a room." The man says.

"Sure thing." The old man says as he opens the book again.

"Wait a minute." Tim says as he slaps his hand down on the registry. "You just told us that you didn't have anything available."

"Not for your kind." The hotel owner says as he glares at Tim.

"Our kind?" Adam asks.

"That's right. Your kind. I own this hotel and I don't allow men couples in my hotel. A man laying with another man is a sin and I won't have it here. Understand!!" The man says loudly. "So GET OUT!!"

Adam looks around at the connecting restaurant to see that all eyes were on them. One set of eyes, in particular, gave Adam a sad look.

Rob was sitting at the corner table enjoying his meal but his meal turned sour as he heard what was being said at the hotel desk.

"Listen here, you son of a b*tch..." Tim growls as he leans toward the old man.

"Tim, Sweetie, let's just go." Adam says softly as he takes hold of his lover's arm. He was clearly embarrassed by the scene the man was causing.

Adam manages to pull Tim out of the hotel without any more being said.

"Let's just go home." Adam says with disappointment in his voice. "It's apparent that we are not welcome here."

"Hell no." Tim replies as he begins to walk quickly toward the saloon.

"Where are you going?" Adam asks, having to run to catch up with his boyfriend.

"Jenika has some explaining to do." Tim answers as they walk into the saloon and Tim heads up the stairs pulling Adam along with him.

As they reach the top of the stairs, they come to a hallway with several doors on each side. The outlaw knew that Jenika lived in one of the rooms but didn't know which one. Employees of the saloon probably lived in the others.

"JENIKA!!" Tim yells as he begins to walk down the hall banging on each of the doors.

"Tim! What are you doing?!" Adam whispers loudly.

"JENIKA!! COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE!!" Tim sang out.

The door that he was just fixing to bang on suddenly opens and Jenika appears, wearing nothing but a robe.

"WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, TIMMY?" Jenika yells as she grabs him by the arm and pulls him inside her room. "ARE YOU DRUNK??!!"

Adam hurries in and closes the door behind them.

"HELL, NO, I AIN'T DRUNK! I'M PISSED OFF!!" Tim yells as he glances down at the bed to see Chance with the covers pulled up to his waist. "SORRY!!"

"Please, stop your yelling. There are employees trying to sleep." Jenika scolds.

"Well, it must be nice to have a f*cking bed to sleep in. Why did you lie to me?" Tim asks, glaring at the blonde beauty.

"About what?" She asks as she forces him to sit down in a chair.

"Oh, let me think, oh yeah, maybe the part about this town being open to gay men? Really? We just got threw out of the f*cking hotel!" Tim says angrily as he swings his arm to point in the direction of the hotel.

"Are you serious?" Chance asks as he sits up in bed.

"Yep. He doesn't allow 'our kind' to stay there." Adam answers. "It was so embarrassing. Everyone was staring at us like we had yellow fever or something."

"All I wanted was a nice soft bed where I could make love to my boyfriend without waking up with hay stuck to MY ASS CRACK!!" Tim yells as he glares at Jenika.

"Calm down, Tim." Chance chuckles.

"Yeah, we'll think of something." Jenika says as she sits down on the bed beside Chance.

Chance has seen his friend angry several times but not this angry. He watches Tim as the outlaw twists his jaw as he glares at Jenika. Could he have been embarrassed too and just transformed it into anger?

"I got an idea." Jenika says with a smile. "Chance can go and rent a room. You guys can slip up through the back way. In the back alley, they have ladders leading up to each room in case of a fire. Chance can go to the room and open the window. You guys can climb in that way."

"But what about Chance? Won't he need a room for himself?" Adam asks. He knew that both Austin and Nate would be coming to the hotel after they got through with business at the brothel and Rob was already there.

"Uh, no. Chance can come back here. We can finish what we were so rudely interrupted doing and he can just sleep here." Jenika smiles.

"Screw you, Jenika." Tim growls as he stands up from the chair. "Come on, Chance." He adds, turning on his heels and heading for the door, grabbing Adam's hand on the way.

"You have to look over Tim." Adam says with an apologetic smile. "He's just horny."
