Over the next five days, Hunter’s became as elusive as dandelion fuzz caught in a high wind. He was living with not one but two angry yellow-hairs, Loretta because he refused to take Amy home and had made mention of the possibility that he might marry more than one woman. Amy because he was forcing Swift Antelope’s company upon her. On all counts, Hunter felt justified and carried on with implacable determination, trying to ignore the glares to which he was treated every time he set foot inside his lodge. By the fifth night his perseverance was rewarded with a smile from Amy after Swift Antelope escorted her home from their daily walk. With flushed cheeks, Amy regaled Loretta with the details of her time spent with Swift Antelope, about the doe and twin fawns they had spied upon, about the flowers Swift Antelope had picked for her, about the birdcalls and sign language he was teaching her, about the silly tricks he played on her. Clearly Swift Antelope was making headway with Amy; the girl was beginning to heal. Hunter’s already low spirits plummeted. It was a sad state of affairs when an untried boy had more luck with women than a grown man. It was especially upsetting because Hunter knew he had paid dearly, not once but twice, for the right to possess Loretta, that he could exercise his rights at any time he chose, yet found himself hesitating because of the shadows in her eyes. Recalling his father’s advice, he could only scoff. The way things were going, if he was to become his woman’s friend before he became her lover, they might never move on to the second stage of their relationship.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/catherine-anderson/patience-over-the-next-five-days-hunter-s-became-as-elusive-as/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2cc/catherine-anderson-308_grown-man_patience-over-the-next-five-days-hunter_1764023.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2cc/catherine-anderson-308_grown-man_patience-over-the-next-five-days-hunter_1764023.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2cc/catherine-anderson-308_grown-man_patience-over-the-next-five-days-hunter_1764023.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Patience.

Loretta gazed after them, her color deepening. When she looked down at Hunter, her eyes were wide with wariness. “Why aren’t we going now?” “You know why.” He tightened his hold on her ankle and tugged her closer, rolling over onto his back to avail himself of the view. He knew she wasn’t aware of how revealing a knee-length skirt could be when a man eyed it from the ground up, and he managed to keep a straight face so she wouldn’t guess. “Come here, little one.” “I want to go back.” He hoped she stood there arguing for a time. “Obey your husband.” She wrinkled her nose. “It’s broad daylight.” “ Keemah , come.” Growing tired of just looking when he could be touching, Hunter cocked his head and let her see him leering. He was awarded a fetching glimpse of slender, creamy thighs and honey gold. She gasped and dropped to her knees as if someone had dealt a blow to the backs of her legs. Tucking her skirt under her knees, she cried, “Have you no shame?” His answer was a slow grin. Seizing her wrist, he drew her toward him. “There is no shame.

His mother informed him that although Amy was weak, with proper nourishment and plenty of rest, she would soon recover. The internal bleeding had completely stopped. The cut on her leg was healing nicely. Hunter explained that he would return with Loretta shortly, then left the lodge, holding the flap aside for Bright Star, who had respectfully waited for him to finish his business before she tried to enter. Swift Antelope inched toward the doorway, stretching his neck to see past Hunter’s arm. Hunter tugged the flap closed. “Swift Antelope, stop staring. You’re making her uneasy.” “She is very golden, is she not?” Hunter had the disturbing feeling that his young friend hadn’t heard a word he said. “She’s very frightened. Of you. She wants you to leave, and I don’t blame her. You’re drooling like a rabid wolf.” A dimple flashed in Swift Antelope’s cheek. “That is a good sign, is it not? That she has noticed me.” Hunter walked away, shaking his head.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/catherine-anderson/amy-caught-his-arm-will-you-make-that-boy-go-away-hunter-pried-her/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/813/catherine-anderson-308_bright-star_amy-caught-his-arm-will-you-make-that-bo_2125938.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/813/catherine-anderson-308_bright-star_amy-caught-his-arm-will-you-make-that-bo_2125938.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/813/catherine-anderson-308_bright-star_amy-caught-his-arm-will-you-make-that-bo_2125938.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Amy caught his arm. “Will you make that boy go away?” Hunter pried her fingers loose and rose. “Swift…” — Catherine Anderson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 10, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“By the fifth night his perseverance was rewarded with a smile from Amy after Swift Antelope escorted her home from their daily walk. With flushed cheeks, Amy regaled Loretta with the details of her time spent with Swift Antelope, about the doe and twin fawns they had spied upon, about the flowers Swift Antelope had picked for her, about the birdcalls and sign language he was teaching her, about the silly tricks he played on her. Clearly Swift Antelope was making headway with Amy; the girl was beginning to heal. Hunter’s already low spirits plummeted. It was a sad state of affairs when an untried boy had more luck with women than a grown man. It was especially upsetting because Hunter knew he had paid dearly, not once but twice, for the right to possess Loretta, that he could exercise his rights at any time he chose, yet found himself hesitating because of the shadows in her eyes. Recalling his father’s advice, he could only scoff. The way things were going, if he was to become his woman’s friend before he became her lover, they might never move on to the second stage of their relationship. The more disgruntled Hunter became over the situation, the more he glowered, and the more he glowered, the more uneasy Loretta was in his presence. The worst part was, Hunter couldn’t blame her. Their bargain hung over them like a dark cloud, her promises binding her to him yet holding them apart. He knew she dreaded the moment when he would confront her, demanding that she lie with him. With each passing day, the prospect seemed to grow more frightening to her. Hunter was perceptive enough to realize that waiting patiently for her to come around wasn’t abetting him in his cause, yet he couldn’t bring himself to force her, either.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/catherine-anderson/by-the-fifth-night-his-perseverance-was-rewarded-with-a-smile-from/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/259/catherine-anderson-308_antelope_by-the-fifth-night-his-perseverance-was_2608603.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/259/catherine-anderson-308_antelope_by-the-fifth-night-his-perseverance-was_2608603.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/259/catherine-anderson-308_antelope_by-the-fifth-night-his-perseverance-was_2608603.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“By the fifth night his perseverance was rewarded with a smile from Amy after Swift Antelope escorted her…” — Catherine Anderson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 11, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Hunter disappeared once, returning a few minutes later with a bouquet of wild flowers. When Swift Antelope and Amy weren’t watching, he dragged her behind bushes to kiss her. Several times, on toward evening, he pressed his palm against her belly and raised a questioning brow. Loretta blushed, well aware of what he was asking. She was still tender from his lovemaking, but not so much as the night before. Yet how could she tell him? Ladies didn’t speak of such things, not even to their husbands. At dusk the four of them stopped en route home to sit on the riverbank under a canopy of cottonwood trees. Loretta hugged her bent knees, gazing at the reflection of leaves and fading sunlight on the water, only half-aware of Amy and Swift Antelope’s chatter.

Not right away, of course. When she grows old enough.” The young warrior straightened his shoulders. “I will pay a fine bride price, fifty horses and ten blankets.” Hunter smothered a grin. After a year of raiding, Swift Antelope had only ten horses. How much horse stealing did he plan to do? “Swift Antelope, I don’t think she even likes you.” “Your yellow-hair doesn’t like you too well, either.” He had a point. Hunter stroked his chin, acutely aware of a sparrow singing nearby, of cottonwood leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. Such a peaceful sound. He had enough problems without Swift Antelope adding to them. “Can we discuss this another time?” “No! I mean…well, I’ve heard some other warriors talking. I’m not the only one who wants her. If I wait, you may accept the suit of another. She is very fine, is she not?” Hunter wondered if they were talking about the same skinny girl. Then he focused on Swift Antelope, who was only a few years Amy’s senior. He supposed a younger man might find Amy’s coltish prettiness appealing. “I can see your concern. But you forget one thing, Swift Antelope. You have proven yourself my loyal friend. I will not accept the suit of another. Does that ease your mind?” Swift Antelope still gripped Hunter’s arm. “May I visit with her?” “I don’t know about that. She’s been through a terrible time. Having a young man around might upset her.” “Old Man told me what happened to her. But someone must help her walk back to the sunshine, eh?” Again, Hunter had to concede the point. A difficult path lay ahead of Amy, and her way would be made easier if she had a good friend, a young man who could teach her to trust again. “You will take great care with her?” Swift Antelope grinned. “I will protect her with my life. Your mother says she will be strong enough to go on a walk tomorrow. May I take her?” Hunter placed a heavy hand on the boy’s shoulder. “She won’t want to go. You do realize that?” Swift Antelope nodded. “I can handle her until she gets used to me.” “She’s a fighter.” “And I am twice her size.” Hunter almost wished he could go on this walk. It might prove interesting. Little did Swift Antelope know how useless strength could be when tussling with a frightened female. “Come to my lodge late tomorrow afternoon.” Swift Antelope beamed. “I think we should change her name. Aye-mee? It sounds like a sheep baaing. Golden One. That is a good name for her.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/catherine-anderson/swift-antelope-caught-hunter-s-arm-before-he-could-go-inside-his/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f65/catherine-anderson-308_another-time_swift-antelope-caught-hunter-s-arm-befor_2776190.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f65/catherine-anderson-308_another-time_swift-antelope-caught-hunter-s-arm-befor_2776190.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f65/catherine-anderson-308_another-time_swift-antelope-caught-hunter-s-arm-befor_2776190.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Swift Antelope caught Hunter’s arm before he could go inside his mother’s lodge. “Hunter, about the little…” — Catherine Anderson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 13, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“So, we will camp here? Has anyone scouted the area? You’re sure it’s safe?” “Swift Antelope and Red Buffalo checked for trackers last night and this morning. As crazy as it sounds, Red Buffalo claims the girl’s ap hasn’t even gone for help yet.” “He’s such a coward, he’s probably waiting to be sure we’re gone. I’m surprised his women haven’t ridden to the fort for help. They are by far the better fighters.” Scarcely aware he was doing it, Hunter feathered his thumb back and forth on the girl’s arm, careful not to press too hard because of her burn. She was as silken as rabbit fur. Glancing down, he saw that her skin was dusted with fine, golden hair, noticeable now only because her sunburn formed a dark backdrop. Fascinated, he touched a fingertip to the fuzz. In the sunshine she glistened as though someone had sprinkled her with gold dust. “Swift Antelope still hasn’t stopped talking about the younger one,” Warrior said. “Her courage impressed him so much, I think he may be smitten. I have to admit, though, once you get used to looking at them, the golden hair and blue eyes grow on you.” “Maybe you should take her across the river and sell her, eh?” “I could double my investment.” With a grin, Hunter pulled the robe back over her. She reacted by shrinking away from him, and he gave a disgusted snort. “She must think we’re hungry and she’s going to be breakfast.” “Speaking of which, are you going to feed her?” “In an hour or so. If we’re staying here today, I can go back to sleep.” He drew his knife and cut the leather on Loretta’s wrists. “Wake me if the sun gets on her, eh?” “You’d better keep her tied.” “Why?” A yawn stretched Hunter’s dark face. “Because she’s looking skittish.” “She’s naked.” Sheathing his knife, Hunter flopped on his back and shaded his eyes with one arm. “She won’t run. Not without clothes. I’ve never seen such a bashful female.” “The tosi tivo truss up their females in so many clothes, it would take a whole sleep just to undress one. Then they have them wear breeches under the lot. How do they manage to have so many children? I’d be so tired by the time I found skin, I’d never get anything else done.” “You’d think of something,” Hunter said with a chuckle.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/catherine-anderson/so-we-will-camp-here-has-anyone-scouted-the-area-you-re-sure-it-s/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eb6/catherine-anderson-308_antelope_so-we-will-camp-here-has-anyone-scouted_3075940.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eb6/catherine-anderson-308_antelope_so-we-will-camp-here-has-anyone-scouted_3075940.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eb6/catherine-anderson-308_antelope_so-we-will-camp-here-has-anyone-scouted_3075940.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“So, we will camp here?
