As kitty walked past matt out the door she held back a smirk. She had to work hard holding back the laughter that was getting ready to explode when she heard Matt’s voice behind her boom out “Stop right their Kathleen and don’t move!” She thought about heading to her carriage anyway when she heard the same words again only louder. Now Kitty was not afraid of Matt he was the kindest, gentlest man she had ever meet but their was something in his tone that made her pause. As she turned around she saw Matt enter the saloon and with two quick punches Sgt Holly laid on the dirt floor motionless. Next Matt grabbed the money bags and threw them at Festus telling him to take the prisoners back to dodge. As he turned back to Kitty she decided she might have pushed him to far and began to take a step to her carriage when two hands propelled her away from the buggy toward Matt’s horse. As she started to question Matt quickly picked her up and sat her none to gently on Bucks back.
I have never wrote a story in my life other than a school assignment but I love these characters so much I had to give the paragraph option a try. If anyone wants to finish it please feel free.

Please note I am no writer. Feel free to offer suggestions or take the story and run with it
As Matt reached out to grab Buck’s reigns Newly approached cautiously. He was sorta new to the group but felt secure enough to believe Matt would never hurt Miss Kitty as he had observed the previous interactions. “Uh Matt how about I take Miss Russell back Incase Festus has any problems “ he heard himself whisper. At the same time Newly was trying to be respectful and not lose his nerve Kitty was shaking her heard ‘no’ as fast as she could to prevent another knock out if at all possible. What few posse members were close enough around reached out and saved Newly from the Marshall. The Marshall either chose to ignore him or didn’t hear him. Kitty hoped it was the last. As Matt swung himself up behind Kitty he told her very coldly to get comfortable. She felt a cold chill for the first time that day. Before Matt turned south he yelled to Festus to tell Sam he was in charge of the Long Branch for a while. Kitty getting back some of her voice started to voice her opinion when she felt Matt’s hand tighten around her waist. As the tears began to flow a very confused posse headed to Dodge and a lone horse carrying two passengers headed south.
Ok this is getting to dark please offer suggestions 🙏

It doesn't have to get too dark, Dj. Take some time to think out what you want to happen. Matt will have time to think and simmer down. He's not usually an impulsive man and he would never hurt Kitty. Your story is open enough to move in more than one direction. Of course, you have us all holding our breath to see if he's going to go caveman (LOL) but remember he loves her and he's probably feeling hurt and wants her to know it - for a change! I'm not a writer, but I hope this helps a little. You can do it!

I agree with DCA. Yes, Matt is upset, but so far he hasn't done anything that can't be undone, except for knocking Holly out, and he had it coming. Hopefully Matt will be able to calm down while they're riding to wherever so he can "use his words" when they have it out. Looking forward to more.

A day and a half later a tired, hungry and dirty Posse headed down front street toward the jail. Festus quickly took charge and sent Newly on to the jail with the prisoners. He then told Thad and the rest to take the dead men to Percy’s and return the buggy to Moss’ livery. As he stood on front street Festus knew he needed to find Doc. Before he was able to take a step Sam came running asking if they had caught up with Miss Kitty. He quickly told Sam they had and she wanted him to take care of the long branch for a few more days and before Sam could ask more Festus said he had to get a message to Doc. That’s when Sam told him Doc was called out of town to deliver a baby and he wasn’t sure when he’d be back. Festus felt really alone. He headed back to the jail house.
It had been about three hours since the two riders had left the Posse. Neither one had spoken a word. Matt’s hand had loosened a little and finally she felt able to breathe again. However that left another problem Mother Nature was calling., Since neither were talking she had two choices to either be the first to break the silence or jump. The second didn’t sound very smart but she really was running out of options. Finally she yelled “if you don’t stop this dam horse real soon this saddle is going to get very wet MARSHALL,”. Matt knew she was needing a break but his stubbornness often overruled his brains and he wasn’t stopping till she asked. He let Buck take a few more steps and stopped and dismounted helping Kitty down a moment later. Before he let go of her he tilted her head back and kissed her so hard and so long on the lips that she could no longer breathe. The need to breathe forced them to finally break apart and he pointed at some bushes for her to use still not saying a word. While Kitty rushed off he took care of his own needs and broke out some jerky. When she came back Kitty expected they would talk but he unceremoniously placed her back on Buck and mounted behind her holding her tight. Three hours later the same routine repeated and they were off again except they seem to be headed toward the mountains. Now, Kitty had a firey temper and it had almost reached its limit. Yes she realized she should not have kissed Holly like that but he never seemed to be bothered before when she flirted. When they stopped for the night he was going to talk whether he wanted to or not! However, Matt was still not ready to talk. He had broken a promise to himself he made years ago to never fall in love. He also was not ready to talk cause he had no plans for where he was taking her and no money or supplies.
As nightfall came that first night Matt knew he needed to find a place to set up camp. Kitty had fallen asleep hours earlier. He knew she was hungry cause he could feel her stomach growling. He pulled over to a grassy spot and shook Kitty awake. He repeated the same dismounting along with the kiss except this time Kitty’s temper finally broke. “ Marshall Matt Dillion you are going to talk to me before you go any farther! You understand” Kitty yelled. Matt reached over her grabbed his sleeping roll and bags. He grabbed her upper arm and led her over to the grass. He sat up the camp and she waited for him to finish and then she opened her mouth to yell again when Matt turned and walked away.

Well, this may be the most impulsive thing Matt has ever done! I can't wait to see what he has to say when he finally starts talking. So far so good with this!

You really have me hooked, Dj! This really is impulsive for Matt. You have eased the "dark" part of the circumstances very nicely but have kept the suspense. Well done! I am also looking forward to when the big man finally speaks!

Matt continued to walk over to Buck. The poor horse needed to be fed and water after carrying two riders all day, but in the background he could hear Kitty yelling at him to turn around and talk only she was using more fugitive language. He was now having trouble not breaking out into a fit of laughter but he was smart enough not to push his luck. Soon she stopped and he heard a splash as if someone dove into the water. Matt grabbed his rifle and proceeded to go looking for dinner after they had to eat.
Kitty could not believe he would not turn around. Matt never walked away from her. She almost wish he had hit her or something, but to ignore hurt her deep inside. After he walked Buck over to a grassy patch Kitty turned around and thought about what it would take to drown him in the river nearby at least he’d have a reason not to talk. Kitty knew threatening Matt would never work, she preceded to strip off her clothes and try to cool down more then her body temperature in the water. Shortly she heard two shots and saw Matt return. What she did not see was him reach back into his saddle bags for a special item.
Matt quickly noticed her clothes laying scattered and gathered them up. He quickly skinned the jackrabbits and had them roasting over the fire and sat with his back to the creek.
As the sun started setting Kitty felt cold and decided it was time to get out. She walked to the bank and discovered her clothes missing. It didn’t take long for her temper to rise again. This was going to stop. “ Marshall Dillion give me back my clothes now” She demanded standing there in her birthday suit with her hands on her hips. Matt silently turned around looked at her while holding a small box with a shiny object that sparkled in the moon light. TBC
I hope you like this. I am just living out my dream for them any comments are welcomed

These characters do not belong to me I just took them out to play. My ending is probably a little on the adult side. Hope you like it.
Doc headed into the Long Branch for what he hoped was a nightcap followed by a few hours of sleep. The Johnson’s baby had finally made his appearance around eleven that night and baby and mom were doing fine. It was the Johnson's third baby and they finally got their boy. All in all a good night However that’s what he thought. Festus had been sitting on the steps outside of docs office most of the evening. He had to tell Doc what had happen between Matt and Kitty. Doc would tell him what to do. Seeing doc headed into the Lone Branch Festus called out “Doc’ Doc”. Now Doc was tired and not really ready to deal with the Hill man but seeing his face he invited Festus for a drink his treat. After Festus told Doc what had happen and what Newly had witnessed Doc asked Festus “Do you think Matt would ever hurt Miss Kitty.? Festus shook his head no “but but”. Doc butted in and told Festus “but nothing go take care of the prisoners and do what Matt asked. I’m going to bed” As he left the confused deputy heading to the jail house, Doc headed back to his office with a big grin across his face. What no one else knew was that before Matt left he had retrieved a special item from Docs safe to take with him. His dream was coming true.
As Kitty began to hurl a string of names that would have made a drunken buffalo hunter blush she saw tears running down her Marshall ‘s face. Now she was unable to talk or move. For the first time that day Matt spoke “Kathleen Russell you are my heart my soul the very breath I breathe. I love you more than I can find words to describe.” At this point he got down on one knee and asked “kitten will you forget everything I’ve ever said about marriage and be my wife”. Kitty still standing on the bank stark naked with this big 6’6 overgrown public servant at her feet let out the loudest screamed followed by YES YES YES! Matt jumped up placed his mother’s ring on her hand and proceeded to kiss her so long they were both ready to pass out. As Matt pulled back he placed both hands on her cheeks. His face turned serious and proceeded to gently but firmly tell her “Kitty you need to promise me you will never kiss anyone else again” She looked at Matt and thought he’s got to know it was a joke and he must be joking now and before she really considered her situation and state of undress at the moment she smiled and replied “Or what” trying to lighten the mood. Without a beat Matt replied “or this” as his hand came down on her still wet bottom and before she could react his lips covered hers and they were one again.
Five days later the best kept secret in Dodge City gathered in the church surrounded by friends and town folks to publicly declare their love for all time. As the couple left the church Sgt Holly approached the smiling couple yelling I’ll be by to kiss the bride later. Doc noticed Matt’s hand clinch and Kitty rubbed her backside. He wondered.
The end
