Still playing, still paying from Angelia Sparrow

Billy cantered down the riding path, watching the sun glint off his badge and polished boots. The police uniform was getting warm in the evening sun. The bay under him kept a steady pace, its sleek flanks gleaming. As he approached the woods, he saw a pale form lying on the ground.

“Help!” the young man called weakly. Billy reigned in and took off his mirrored sunglasses.

“What happened to you, kiddo?” Billy asked, taking in the bound wrists, the tied ankles and the nakedness.

“I was mugged. They took my clothes and wallet and tied me up out in the woods. I just managed to hop
out here.”

Billy chuckled and then laughed. He dismounted and walked to where Sam lay on a comfortable patch of grass. “Poor baby,” he said, putting his sunglasses back on and unbuckling his belt. “Today just ain't your day.” He glanced over his shoulder and saw William coming along on his own gray. “And I got back up tonight. You're so busted, boy. Public indecency. Public nudity.” He grinned and added the usual charge, “And public urination.”

William drew up. “A bit harsh there, since we didn't actually see him do that.”

“Naw, but look how green the grass is. Fertilizer.”

William laughed. “No, really, we should help the boy find some clothes and cancel his credit cards.”

Billy hauled Sam to his feet. “You're a big softy, William.” He boosted Sam up and over the withers of
his horse on his belly. He swatted Sam's ass as he mounted. “We'll just run him in, shall we, officer?”

“Yes, I think we have more amenities at the station.” William guided his horse closer and stroked Sam's
legs.

Billy swatted Sam again and rubbed two fingers along his crack. “Naughty little streetwalker gets mugged, maybe he doesn't need clothes.”

“Perhaps not. I think we have a cell just waiting for him.” William smiled. “A nice one, with a cot big enough for two or three. I think he's too broke to make bail, so he needs to pay us off for not taking him in to the judge.”

Sam moaned as one of Billy's fingers slipped into his ass.

“I like the way you think, partner,” Billy grinned. He added a second finger and Sam moaned again. This
time William leaned over and swatted him.

“Oh, do hush. You lost at Candyland fair and square.”

William, Sam and Billy appear in “Paying Forfeits” by Angelia Sparrow and Naomi Brooks.
