Chapter Ten

Rose and Kat fought for nigh on to a month then Margaret got hold of them both by the hair and pulled them to the center of the room, loudly proclaiming. "There are enough men here for every woman, so stop fighting as though there weren't. If you can't stop fighting, you'll have to leave."

Margaret turned loos of them and stared at them with a frown.

The room was very quiet, no one said a word. Margaret looked at the two women who were ready to scratch each other's eyes out. She shook her head vehemently when they tried to go at it again. "I'm warning you both right now. Settle out, learn to get along, or I'll throw you out of here, myself."

"You're right of course, but I got my sights set on that one over there," Kat nodded toward Matt. "You ever had him, Rose?"

Rose looked to Matt then shook her head. She glanced at Margaret first though. "Margaret's right about that. Leave him alone. They are different. They are a family."

"Why?" Kat asked turning an instant smile on Matt when he heard his name mentioned.

Rose glanced at Matt and Snow Bird and then snickered, "They're in love, don't you know that by now? She's with child. I wouldn’t mess with them."

"Love?"

"Yeah, love," Margaret repeated. "And I'm sure it isn't love driving you toward him. Look, there are plenty of men, willing men, stick with your own kind, or there will be trouble.

"My kind? What kind is that?" Kat smirked.

Rose eyed Kat for a long moment. "Even I wouldn't mess with love. Besides, she doesn't horn in on any of my men. I won't with her either. It's like we got a truce going. As long as we don't mess with her, she stays in her place and we have no trouble. But even I wouldn't want to fight an Indian, especially a squaw! They carry knives, don't you know."

"Well I don't have a truce…" Kat smiled and stared at Matt again. "And I'm not afraid of her, I'm taller and bigger than her. At least bigger in the right places," she chuckled.

"That ain't all…" Margaret warned her. "You see those big four men beside them?"

"Yeah, what about them."

"They protect her, that's what. So, if you know what is good for you, you'll leave it alone."

"Well," she eyes Margaret sarcastically. "Maybe I should start with them. Get them on my side, then I can have Matt." Kat sighed, giving both women the once over.

She cut her eyes at Matt and sent him a flirty smile.

Matt didn't respond.

"But you aren't bigger than those four men who eat with them and they'll tackle you if you try anything."

"Then maybe I will seduce them first." Kat chuckled.

"This ain't no game." Willis heard her and assured her.

Margaret shook her head, "I've warned you. Stay away if you know what's good for you. You start one more thing here, and you are out. I told you to leave it alone, Kat. I meant it.
