The merciless killer was gone, replaced by a drowsy, mischievous boy who stroked her as if she were a newly acquired pet. A slow smile curved his mouth, a dreamy smile that told her he was more asleep than awake. He moved closer to whisper something unintelligible against her cheek. Her lips tingled, then parted. She found herself wondering how it might have felt if he had kissed her, then cringed at the wayward thought. Comanches didn’t kiss, they just took. And her time was running out. With the tip of his tongue, he outlined her ear. “ Topsannah, tani-har-ro. ” The words came out so slurred, she doubted he even knew he was saying them. “Prairie flower,” he muttered, “in springtime.” He fell silent. His arm around her waist went lifeless and heavy. His breathing changed, becoming measured and deep. The mahogany fringe of his eyelashes rested on his cheeks. Loretta stared, incredulity sweeping over her in waves. He was fast asleep. And she was pinned beneath his arm and leg. She wrinkled her nose. The fur of the buffalo robe tickled, and it smelled sharply of smoke and bear grease. Probably full of lice and fleas, too, she thought with disgust, then promptly began to itch, which was sheer torture because she couldn’t scratch. His hand rested on her ribs like an anchor. Though escape was impossible, bound as she was, being so close to him made her feel claustrophobic. Slowly, ever so slowly, she tried to ease out from under him, only to have him go tense again and pull her back into the crook of his body. “Sleep,” he murmured. “We will make war tomorrow, no?”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/catherine-anderson/held-captive-now-by-more-than-bonds-and-strength-of-arm-she-turned/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fc7/catherine-anderson-308_quote_held-captive-now-by-more-than-bonds-and_1256877.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fc7/catherine-anderson-308_quote_held-captive-now-by-more-than-bonds-and_1256877.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fc7/catherine-anderson-308_quote_held-captive-now-by-more-than-bonds-and_1256877.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Held captive now by more than bonds and strength of arm, she turned her face to study his, fascinated by the…” — Catherine Anderson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“He wasn’t sure when it had happened or how, but the small woman beside him was no longer his captive; he had become hers.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/catherine-anderson/he-wasn-t-sure-when-it-had-happened-or-how-but-the-small-woman-beside/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/435/catherine-anderson-308_quote_he-wasn-t-sure-when-it-had-happened-or-h_1278215.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/435/catherine-anderson-308_quote_he-wasn-t-sure-when-it-had-happened-or-h_1278215.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/435/catherine-anderson-308_quote_he-wasn-t-sure-when-it-had-happened-or-h_1278215.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“He wasn’t sure when it had happened or how, but the small woman beside him was no longer his captive; he had…” — Catherine Anderson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/captive/catherine-anderson/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/captive/catherine-anderson/", "name": "Captive Quotes by Catherine Anderson", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/captive/catherine-anderson/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fc7/catherine-anderson-308_quote_held-captive-now-by-more-than-bonds-and_1256877.jpg" }, "description": "2 Captive quotes by Catherine Anderson.
