In the dusty plains of the Wild West, tales of a notorious outlaw are whispered in saloons and campfires alike, weaving a tapestry of fear and fascination. Stories of his audacious escapades and deadly marksmanship spread like wildfire, captivating the hearts of those who toiled under the harsh sun. Yet, amidst the legends and exaggerations, only a select few knew the true identity of this enigmatic figure, a man whose presence could silence even the boldest of gunslingers. To them, he was not merely a feared gunfighter; he was a symbol of rebellion, a true embodiment of the viral spirit that coursed through the veins of the frontier.

These privileged few, who had glimpsed the real man behind the myth, were more than eager to cross paths with the virile outcast once again. To them, he was more than a legend enshrined in folktales; he was a living testament to the wild freedoms that defined their rugged lives. They spoke in hushed tones of his daring sexual exploits—how he rattled the timbers of crooked lawmen and wooed honest cowboys with equal fervour, wielding his manhood as deftly as he did his six-shooter. His reputation as a “dick slinger” was not merely about bravado; it was a reflection of his unyielding nature, a seductive charm that had left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who dared to play his dangerous game.

As the sun dipped low, casting long shadows across the parched earth, whispers of his return ignited a spark of lust among those who revered his name. The promise of another encounter sent a thrill of desire down their spines, conjuring images of a rugged hero going down on them, in an endless spiral of lust and passion.

Chapter 1

In the opening chapter, the narrative takes a thrilling plunge into the heart of a classic Western train robbery. The sun is setting over a dusty frontier town, casting elongated shadows that seem to beckon trouble. A lone, enigmatic outlaw stands atop a ridge overlooking the train tracks, his silhouette stark against the fiery sky. The anticipation builds as he meticulously gears up for a heist, his steely resolve capturing the essence of a classic Western hero.

At the back of the train, the hunky villain finds himself drawn to the unsuspecting postal worker, who embodies an innocence that both intrigues and tempts him. Their interactions crackle with tension as they navigate the thin line between peril and passion. In the confined space of the post office, the dynamics shift from danger to desire, into pure lust.

The classic Wild West landscape was mainly based on pictures from the Monument Valley in Arizona and paintings like those by Mark Maggiori. As rightly commented, the colour scheme indeed resembles that of illustrations by Maxfield Parrish.

The model of the train and many others that will follow later in this series are based on the Outlaw 3D Asset Kit, a complete set to bring the old Wild West back to life.

Chapter 2

After a classic train heist in Chapter 1, the next best thing in a Wild West story is an old-fashioned bank robbery. The Sheriff rides into town to warn the bank clerk, urging him to stay alert, for there's a dangerous villain on the loose and that he might strike again.

For this chapter's small-town environment, I used several elements from Stonemason's Wild West Town, a model with a large array of novelty buildings and detailed street props. The Bank interior was created with elements from a model called Counting House, a Victorian office I also used in the Delivery series to develop the bakery. With the bank counter in place, the stage is set for another unusual robbery.

Chapter 3

No Wild West story is complete without a saloon, so in the third and final chapter of this series, we also visit this iconic location.

While the entire town is focused on searching for the notorious villain, two bank employees stay behind, searching through the nearby buildings. They recognize a familiar face in the saloon. The barkeeper proves to be more resilient than expected. Could this be an opportunity for revenge?

Yes, revenge will be taken here, and they will come both hard and sweet. The scene of action is a small, shabby hotel room upstairs. Our hero is kneeling in front of the bed, his heart racing with a mix of anticipation and dread when the three avengers loom over him. But a small sparkle in his eyes also reveals his excitement and deep-rooted desire.
