Chapter Fourteen

The next morning, she got up before he woke and had his breakfast ready. The fact that she'd been wrapped in his arms all night hit her like a sledge hammer. She'd slept like a baby. She couldn't rely on him to do that every night. It bothered her that she felt so safe in his arms. How could she ever be independent again?

The only problem was, she'd asked him to. He never offered it freely.

Embarrassment flooded her when he woke up. "Coffee's ready, want some?"

"Sounds good," he smiled stretching his long body as she got up and glanced at her.

They sat on the blanket and talked about the weather, their day, everything but how she went to sleep in his arms. That was what they wouldn't talk about.

"Naomi, I said last night you could come with me to run the guns. But I cannot take you."

"Why not?" she asked shocked that he'd changed his mind.

"Because you are white and there would be trouble. They would question that. They might throw me in jail and take you back to John."

She considered his words and nodded, "I guess you are right. I shouldn't have insisted. I didn't think about how it would look. I guess I forget sometimes that I’m white."

He grinned at her. "I'm glad to hear it. It would seem an Indian and a white woman together would never be accepted."

"No, I suppose not. Not by the whites at least."

"My tribe embraces you."

"Chosen One has said she will teach me words, so I can speak to the others, I'm excited. I so want them to know that I like them."

"That is good. It is time, you are now Apache."

"I guess I am… " she stared at him. "It seems kind of strange, it hasn't been that long since I came here. And funny I was at the Comanche camp for seven months. I never felt Comanche."

"You did not marry a brave there." He told her with a slight smile to his sexy lips.

"No, the women wouldn't let a brave get close to me."

He chuckled. "I can understand that."

"You can?" She looked shock that he would say something like that.

"You are a beautiful woman, many would want you. The Comanche women are a jealous bunch."

She let that slide, but somewhere inside her she cherished his sweet words. She never knew a man who could come up with so many nice things to say at the drop of a hat. He certainly knew how to flatter a girl.

"Will you be alright, here?" He asked.

She shrugged, "I guess so… "

"It would be a more pleasant trip if you were there, but if they saw you with me… there would be trouble."

"Of course, it is alright, I will stay here." She agreed.

"It's for your own protection." He told her. "I would enjoy you being with me."

"I understand," she seemed to grit her teeth.

"Naomi, are you happy here?" he asked with concern.

"I suppose…sometimes." She admitted not looking at him.

Then suddenly he brought her against him and kissed her warm and lovingly on the lips.
