"A Barrel of Whiskey" An ATC/MM to "Old Flame" (Season 5)

Matt thought back to when he and Dolly were eighteen years old, just kids. They were both young and naive. Back then he saw her as a sweet, innocent young girl. But that was back then, fourteen years ago. Things have obviously changed. Dolly had obviously changed. Fourteen years ago Matt would not have once thought that Dolly would ever try to scheme to get a man killed out of jealousy. Matt suddenly realized that he was grateful that he wasn't the man in Rad's shoes.

That wasn't the only thing on Matt's mind. The other thing on his mind was Kitty. She tried to warn him about Dolly, but he wouldn't listen. Matt didn't know why he didn't listen to Kitty. This wasn't the first time she had been right about the true intentions of a woman. A few years ago she tried to warn him about Rena Decker. If only he had listened to Kitty back then, two men probably wouldn't have ended up dead. Right now, even though no one ended up dead, Matt owed Kitty a barrel of whiskey. Matt shook his head. He really couldn't afford a barrel of whiskey. But a bet was a bet, and he was going to pay up.

"Chester, I'm going over to the Long Branch," said Matt. "I owe Kitty a barrel of whiskey."

Matt left the jail and walked over to the Long Branch. He did not know why he was apprehensive about going to see Kitty. Kitty wouldn't rub the fact that she was right into his face. She wasn't that kind of person. Still, Matt felt nervous about going over to the Long Branch. Matt pushed the batwing doors forward and stepped inside the saloon. He looked around, but didn't see Kitty.

Matt walked up to the bar. "Clem, is Kitty around?" he asked the bartender.

"She's in the office," Clem answered, wiping a shot glass.

"Thanks," said Matt, walking towards Kitty's office. Matt knocked on the office door and waited for Kitty's response.

Kitty heard Matt's knock and smiled. She knew it was Matt. She had come to recognize his knock. Kitty had a feeling she knew why Matt was there.

"Come in!" Kitty called from behind the closed door.

Matt opened the door and stepped inside. Kitty was sitting at her desk, but she was facing the door. Her ledger was open and sitting on her desk. It was apparent that she had been working on it. Matt took off his hat and set it on top of one of the whiskey barrels that was sitting in Kitty's office.

Matt took a deep breath. "Well, you were right about Dolly. She came here because she wanted me for something. So, now I'm here to pay up on the bet. I owe you a barrel of whiskey. I can give you the money to cover the cost. How much is a barrel of whiskey nowadays?"

Kitty's heart skipped a beat. She really did not want to be right about Dolly. Kitty was afraid that what Dolly wanted was another chance at a relationship with Matt. When Kitty had heard that one of Matt's old flames was in town, she became uneasy. She had no idea what kind of person Dolly was or how Matt felt about Dolly. Would seeing Dolly bring back feelings for Matt? Would Matt want to rekindle his relationship with Dolly?

A few days ago, when she and Matt were sitting in the Long Branch, Kitty tried to convince Matt that people change. She was trying to convince him that Dolly probably had changed. The only reason she did that was because she was trying to do anything to deter Matt from getting involved with Dolly again.

"What was it that she wanted?" Kitty asked Matt. She was afraid to hear the answer.

"To make a long story short, Dolly was trying to trick me into killing an old beau of hers," Matt replied. "Apparently she was jealous of the life he had."

"Oh, that's a relief," Kitty sighed. Matt raised his eyebrows at her, and Kitty knew she had to explain. "I'm not relieved that she wanted a man killed. I admit that, when I heard that an old flame of yours was in town, I became jealous. I was afraid she was back to try and rekindle a relationship with you. I was even more afraid that after seeing her again, there might have been something deep inside of you that was awakened and you would want to see if you could get things going with her again."

Matt knelt down in front of Kitty and took her hand in his. "Kitty, restarting things with Dolly never once crossed my mind. When we were together, we were just teenagers. Because we were just kids, I don't even consider her a former love. We were too naive to even know what love was." Matt stood up and brought Kitty up with him. He gave her a sweet and gentle kiss on her lips. "Being with you these last five years taught me what love truly is. Now, how much does a barrel of whiskey cost?"

"Matt, you don't have to buy me a barrel of whiskey," said Kitty as she looked into his eyes.

"I lost the bet," Matt responded. "It's only right that I pay up."

Kitty knew Matt really wouldn't be able to afford a barrel of whiskey and she was aware that he probably knew that too. However, she didn't want to come right out and say that to him.

"Matt, just you coming here and admitting that you lost the bet is good enough for me," said Kitty.

"I have to do something to pay up on the bet," said Matt. "I wouldn't feel right if I didn't."

Kitty knew that Matt was not going to be able to let this go, so she tried to think of how she could collect on the bet. "Okay, how about after your rounds tonight, you come up to my room. You can pay me then."

Matt gave Kitty a look. He wasn't quite sure what she was up to, but he had a feeling tonight would be very enjoyable. "Alright, I'll see ya later."

Later that night, Matt finished his rounds and went to Kitty's room. Unlocking her door and stepping inside, Matt was greeted with a view of Kitty sitting on the bed wearing nothing but a sheer robe. Her red hair was down and cascading around her gorgeous face. She smiled that smile she reserved only for him. Matt responded back with the smile he reserved only for her.

"Matt, you're wearing way too many clothes to pay up on the bet you lost. I suggest you remove them," ordered Kitty in a very sexy, seductive voice.

"Yes, ma'am," Matt responded as he quickly removed his clothing. He didn't want to keep his girl waiting. Once his clothes were removed, Matt joined Kitty on the bed.

"Now, if I recall, you lost a bet to me and it's time for me to collect on that bet," said Kitty.

"That's why I'm here," said Matt. "You tell me what you want and I will fulfill it."

"The first thing I want you to do is use your mouth on me," said Kitty.

Matt was more than willing to oblige. He gently pulled Kitty down so she was lying flat on her back. Once on her back, Kitty spread her legs, giving Matt access to her intimate parts. At first Matt used his fingers, playing with Kitty's warm folds and her very sensitive parts. Kitty felt sensations that only Matt could make throughout her body. Knowing what he was doing to Kitty's body, Matt started using his tongue. He slowly licked up the juices that Kitty was emitting from her intimate area. The action of Matt's tongue was almost too much for her to handle and right now she wanted to feel his member inside of her.

"Matt, I need you inside of me right now," Kitty breathed. Matt was about to put his tongue inside of her, but she stopped him. "No, I want you inside of me."

Matt knew exactly what Kitty meant. He carefully put his body on top of her and slowly entered her warm, velvety opening. He was already hard and ready. Watching Kitty react to his actions just moments ago was the cause of that. Buried deep inside the woman he loved, Matt and Kitty began rocking and grinding against one another. They established a rhythm that was only known to the two of them.

After several moments of their bodies intimately dancing with one another, both were reaching their climaxes. The rhythm of rocking and grinding became faster. Finally their climax came crashing around them as Kitty's muscles clenched tightly around Matt and his member pumped his seed inside of her. Several minutes passed before Matt deftly pulled out of Kitty. Matt rolled onto his back and gathered Kitty into his arms.

"Were you satisfied?" Matt whispered.

"I am more than satisfied," Kitty sighed. "I need to win more bets with you."

"And I'll be more than willing to pay up," said Matt.

The End
