Treasure Hunter

Inside the tavern laughs, curses and songs filled the air as a fire blazed in the fireplace at one end of the tavern. Mugs of ale cluttered tabletops.

Nikki Wolfe took another sip of her ale as a stranger sat down in the empty seat at her table. Warily she looked at him as her hand slid toward her pistol.

"Nikita Wolfe?" He asked. He felt no fear even though he had heard many strange things about her. He knew she had been a crack whore in the city of Kelben, and yet she had turned twenty about two months ago. Now she was the best treasure hunter around because an old rich man had trained her. As he continued looking at her could feel his cock growing hard, and he knew he wanted to fuck her.

She took another sip of her ale and when she lowered the stein she looked at the man across the table from her. " That's right. I'm Nikita Wolfe."

"Beauty, brains and talent," He remarked, raising his mug to her in salute.

She smiled faintly. " So what do you want with me?"

He placed an old scroll on the table, and when he unrolled it she could see it was a map, but the region was not familiar to her.

" I have heard you are a treasure hunter. Last week this map fell into my hands along with a dozen perfect diamonds. Each one as big as both my hands. "

Nikita turned her violet eyes away from the map. " And you expect me to buy this map from you?"

" Not exactly. But let's discuss this further in my room. That is where I'll show you the proof you want."

Nikita followed him up the stairs and into a room in the tavern, which only the incredibly wealthy could afford. She had seen many rooms like this when she was a crack whore, so the opulence of the large room didn't impress her, but the room was all the proof she needed that the map was genuine.

" This room is all the proof I needed about that map. Besides I am getting bored of sitting in this tavern night after night. So what are you asking for your treasure map?"

He studied her for a second. " What I want, Nikita, is one night in that bed with you. I have heard your sexual skills are legendary."

Nikita took a deep breath. She had but to have sex with this stranger. Too many people had seen her with him, and If she killed him she could end up in the local jail or worse. The town guards would love to have her in one of their cells.
