Choices C

River sat at the porch outside of her ranch, enjoying a glass of whisky while she watched the sunset over the hills in the distance. Completely naked, she rocked in her chair as she awaited the return of Hauk, Sledge and Thyra, her three trusted ranch hands.

Of course, there was very little in the way of traditional ranching going on at the ranch. When River had inherited the place, the livestock had all been diseased and starving, so she had had them all sold at whatever price she could get, and fired all of the old employees.

Then, she had set out to hire people with special talents, and soon her ranch was becoming quite a hub of all sorts of business in the area south of Santa Fe.
First, there was Sledge who was an excellent brewer and distiller, skills he had picked up God knows where. It was one of his latest batches that he and the two others were of delivering to a customer.

Second, there was Hauk, without doubt one of the fastest gunslingers west of Abilene, and a man whose talents were often hired out to those in need of them, though River and he both agreed to keep a certain level of morality when it came to picking his jobs. Shooting poor dirt-farmers that didn’t want to sell their land to the railroad companies was not the kind of work that was accepted, rather protecting small villages from bandits or tracking down and dealing with wanted killers.

Thirdly, there was Thyra, an excellent smuggler who would transport all sorts of things across the four borders in the area, like for instance **** to Texas, guns to Mexico or Russian dissidents from California.

All of them helped the others out in their business ventures, and River was the one that made sure that whole thing kept functioning, using her connections from her travelling days before the inheritance to get jobs and customers.

The fourth type of business going on at the ranch was perhaps not the most lucrative one, but definitely the funniest to all four of them; the brothel.
Technically, all four of them were ready to fuck anyone who came calling, Thyra and River taking both male and female customers while Hauk and Sledge were on call for any woman that came along with a craving for some cock. Most of the time, River held the fort while the others were away, which meant that she could end up servicing up to a half a dozen customers at once.

Still, since the railroad company was making a lot of noise about wanting to buy her land “at any cost”, and River had turned their offers down every time, it might be good idea to keep everyone at the ranch for a while, just in case Union Pacific send someone around to try and convince her by use of ****.
