So sorry for the delay! I had exams...
I know I used this sort of setting for a chapter before, but I just like writing this way...
Hope you like it!

All he could see was her. Her. Her red hair. Her beautiful face. Her sexy body. Her ivory peg leg.
They kissed. They touched. They made love...
Tonto moaned.
''Red. Red. Red.'' saying her name over and over again.
Red Harrington was all there was, she was all there ever would be... Nothing more, ever again...
''Tonto...'' whispers in the night...
''Tonto...'' the sound continued.
''TONTO!'' Tonto jolted awake.
''Man, you have to stop doing that!'' John punched his shoulder.
Tonto shook his head, trying to erase certain images of a certain naked woman from his mind... He looked around, he was in the middle of the dessert...
''You've got some serious issues!'' John got his attention again.
This had been the third time in two weeks time that Tonto had one of his dreams... John would wake up, hearing moans... Moans coming from the man sleeping next to him! It was disturbing! The thing that was even more disturbing was that the moans said a name, Red... The Ranger knew that woman! The Ranger really didn't want to know what The Indian and the Southern Belle had done before!
Tonto didn't say anything, it was embarrassing enough as it was...
He really tried to stop these dreams from coming, but he just couldn't help it! He missed her! He didn't only miss her for what she could give him, the pleasure... He just missed her in general! Tonto hated how their last conversation had ended...
During the day, he couldn't stop thinking about her and during the night she would be in his dreams... He had 'normal' dreams about her too, how they would have a life together... Just the two of them, him and her... But then sometimes he dreamt about her in certain ways, certain ways of her profession so to speak...
It was embarrassing and the fact that his dreams would wake John up was even more embarrassing!
''Go back to sleep, Kemosabe...'' Tonto turned on his side on the cold and hard dessert ground.
''Tonto?'' he heard John behind him.
''Sleep.'' Tonto didn't say anything after that...
He didn't sleep for the rest of the night, though! He didn't want for any other dreams to invade his mind... It would take another month, before he and The Ranger would return to Colby... One whole month, before he could have a possibility to see her again and to maybe possibly make things right with her this time...
One month.
It was late at night when The Lone Ranger and Tonto rode back into Colby on horseback, one month later... They rode in silence, in the dark. John was about to turn to go to his house, back to Rebecca and Danny, but Tonto didn't follow...
The Indian just rode along, further into Colby.
''Tonto?'' John watched his friend out there alone in the dark...
''You go, Kemosabe...'' Tonto said.
''Hey, Tonto! Don't do anything stupid, okay?!'' The Ranger called after him.
Tonto didn't reply. He knew exactly where he was going, even though he didn't know if it was the right choice... Should he really do this?
Then again, 3 months of dreaming about her... He had to do this!
It was quiet in the establishment. Most of the customers at Red's had already been taken to one of the rooms by their girls for the night, just a few drunken men were still seated at the bar... That was it. All the other customers had already left. It was just before closing time...
Homer was upstairs, getting everything ready to close the establishment. He knew he normally should guard the door, but there were barely customers coming in now anyway... Homer sighed. He really wasn't looking forward to kick all the drunken men out, they'd always put up a fight!
Suddenly, there was still one customer coming in. Maybe he should have guarded the door... What if it was a burglar?!
Tonto was surprised to not find Homer at the door and entered Red's. He walked straight through, up the stairs and looked at the door of Red's room. The door was open! No customer!
Homer had watched Tonto come in and was now staring at him with a confused look on his face. Before the man could even ask the Red Skin something, Tonto showed him a little bundle. The sounds of coins colliding came from inside the bundle as The Indian placed the bundle on the desk, it was money...
Without saying another word, Tonto walked up to Red's room and slammed the door shut behind him.
No matter what, Red Harrington would be his tonight!
Red Harrington was combing out her hair, when the door of her room was slammed shut. She whirled around, panic creeping up her spine. She had no weapon to defend herself, only her hairbrush... Where was her knife?!
It was Tonto.
Red was taken aback. This man was capable of surprising her every single time! After three months he just randomly shows up here, without saying anything...
With two big strides, he was in front of her. She was beautiful with her red hair loose like that, cascading down her back and not up in the braids! He planted his lips right on top of hers and kissed her longingly.
Red was in shock. She reacted quickly, though! She pushed Tonto away and hit him on the head with her brush.
''What do you think you're doing?!'' she yelled.
''I paid'' Tonto stepped closer again and kissed her again.
Red was confused out of her mind! She'd thought he'd appreciated that he hadn't had to pay the last time... She'd thought their relationship or whatever this was didn't work that way... She'd thought this wasn't work for her... Had it become work?!
''You paid?'' she pushed him away again.
''Yes.'' he tried to kiss her once more...
Red stopped him. She eyed him suspiciously. He couldn't be serious, could he?! He'd use his money from the rewards he got for fighting crimes on her?!
Fine. If he wanted to play this game, she could too! If he wanted to pay to be with her, he would be treated as any regular customer. There would be no kissing or pleasure for Red herself, that wasn't the procedure of an 'appointment'...
No kisses. No pleasure for her. Just simply what he had paid for.
''You paid for services in my establishment, so you'll follow my rules!'' ''No kissing.'' She told him sternly.
Tonto was taken aback. He'd thought he could just do as he pleased, just like they had done last time... No kissing... What kind of stupid rule was that?! Why wasn't he allowed to kiss her beautiful red lips?!
Red approached him. She took the dead bird of his head and pushed him towards her bed. She sighed, trying to get her mind off of what she was about to do...
This wasn't how she wanted it...
She moaned. She couldn't help it! She knew that she had to make it clear to him that, as long as he paid, he would be treated like any other customers, but that meant that she wasn't allowed to show her own pleasure... Still, she moaned.
It was highly unprofessional, she was a bad example for the girls that worked for her... His touches just made it feel like she was on fire, all of her senses stimulated to the highest level!
Red collapsed on top of him, completely knackered... She was trying to catch her breath as she heard Tonto panting beneath her.
Slowly, he moved his hands to her back. He started to caress her bare back. It sent shivers up and down Red's spine...
No! There was no cuddling afterwards of 'regular appointments'! Clients who just paid didn't get that!
She quickly rolled off of him and stood next to her bed. She grabbed her dress and started to put it back on.
''What are you doing?'' ''Red, come here...'' Tonto missed the warmth of her body and looked at her.
''No. You have to go, now...'' she was trying to fix her dress properly.
''I paid.'' The Indian pointed out.
''Yes, you paid. You got what you came here for, which means that you go now'' she looked at him.
''I came here for you!'' he sat up.
''Well, you 'got' me! We're done! Clients leave now...'' she pointed to her door.
''I not 'Regular Client'!'' he almost felt offended!
''Why did you pay then, if you're not?!'' Red snapped.
''I paid, so you are mine now.'' Tonto said seriously.
''Is this because you're still jealous of that man?!'' she asked annoyed.
''Man and Indian are the same now. Both had you...'' he explained.
Red was starting to feel uncomfortable. All this talking about her job and what she 'did' with who... She wasn't proud of it!
''Is that what you want?! To be like everyone else?!'' ''I don't need you here if you just think of me as a common whore!'' Red abruptly stopped.
She had said too much!
Tonto stared into her eyes. She had heard the hidden message in her outburst... She wanted to know what he thought of her... She wanted to be more that his 'whore'... She wanted to know what she to him!
''You are not my whore...'' he stood up.
He grabbed his pants and put them on a as Red was now fully dressed again too...
''Then why did you come here and give me money to act like one?!'' Red put her hands on her hips.
''I missed you'' he took a step closer to her.
''You were in my dreams...'' he felt embarrassed...
''Why?!'' she wanted to know.
She thought she already knew the answer if he had dreams about her, but she just wanted to hear it!
''I miss you'' ''I like you'' he kissed her softly.
Tonto broke away from her and stepped towards her door, before opening it.
''Tonto, you don't have to go...'' she sounded hesitant.
''I do. You think about it.'' He said.
''You keep money, buy something nice for you'' Tonto closed the door behind him.
Red was left speechless. She slowly walked over to her couch and let herself drop on it... Her thoughts wandered back to all the different events of the night... She was thinking about it! That when she realised it...
She was smiling...
XXXXXXXXXX
Hope this wasn't too weird...
Thought I'd make things 'right', given it's Chapter 10.
Chapter 10 already!
My chapters keep getting longer and longer!
