He awakened suddenly, breathing hard. Bright sunlight streamed across his face. Where was he? Oh, yes, in a Lakota camp. He swore under his breath with sheer relief, flexed his shoulders. It was good to be alive. He remembered his dream. Well, none of that mattered anymore. Kimi. Would she come to him this morning and tell him how sorry she was? He’d had enough! She was his as long as he stayed with the Sioux, and he didn’t intend to be made a fool of by a woman’s jealousy.

He got up, stretched, went outside. The camp was busy. Women were cooking and carrying water, children were playing. He looked out toward where the traders had been camped. They were gone. Just as well. If that filthy trio had tried to trade for Kimi one more time, Rand would not be able to control his anger. At least the Pawnee girl had no doubt made it back to her kin by now. In a small way, maybe Rand had repaid the debt his guilty conscience owed for not doing anything to help poor Dowdy.

Rand strode toward old Wagnuka’s tipi, slapping his quirt against his leg. His feelings at this moment were that he might turn Kimi across his knee and spank her until she promised to mend her ways. He thought about it a minute and shook his head. He couldn’t do anything to hurt her, not even a spanking, although the little chit deserved it for what she’d put him through. Lenore was so bland by comparison. He hadn’t known a relationship with a female could have so much crackle and conflict. He wasn’t used to it and he didn’t know what he thought about it.

He wasn’t sorry he had bought the captive Pawnee girl with borrowed ponies that must still be repaid. It was beneath his dignity to explain it to the fiery white savage. Yes, that’s what she was. Could she ever be turned into a genteel lady? Would she have the same fascination for him if that happened?

He stuck his head through the tipi flap. “Wagnuka, I know it’s taboo for me to speak to you, but I need to talk to Kimi. Where is she?”

The old woman frowned at his breech of etiquette. “You make a joke. She is with you.”

He got a funny feeling deep in the pit of his stomach. “She hasn’t been in this lodge all night?”

She stood up. He saw the alarm in her wrinkled face. “She is not with you? I haven’t seen her since last night.”

Slowly Rand shook his head even as he looked toward the empty camp of the traders and began to curse under his breath. “Search the village quickly,” he said, even though in his heart, he knew it would do no good.

He stared out across the creek where the traders’ camp had been. With a sinking feeling, he remembered the way those three had looked at her. Had she gone on her own or been kidnapped? It didn’t matter, she belonged to him and he would not share her.
