.Poor fool, she thought.No woman has ever done to him what I am now doing.It pleased her to watch him shudder in release.His fingers dug into the tree and he clamped his mouth shut to keep from crying out.It didn’t matter that she was no beauty like Rain Song; she could make a man remember her long after the lovemaking had ended, and leave him begging for more.Claude had taught her well.When Dull Knife could catch his breath, he jerked her up, shoving her gown past her waist.Spotted Flower wrapped her legs around him and bent to touch her mouth to his.She felt his surprise when she thrust her tongue into his mouth, introducing him to still another new sensation.He was breathing hard as she took his passion beyond where he had ever gone.When it was over, he could hardly stand, or catch his breath.His hand was trembling as he reached for her.“I despise you for what you are, but I will have you do that to me again.”“Now?” She could hardly catch her breath.She had long desired him and she had not been disappointed in the way he had made her feel.“No.You will go to my tipi and wait for me there.”Spotted Flower smiled to herself.He had just learned something new, and she would use his growing hunger against him.He shook her so hard, her head snapped back.“You will stay with me until I send you away.”“Someone might see me.”Dull Knife stared at her.“You are clever.Come under cover of night.I will have you do those things to me again.”She smiled, leaning toward him and pressing her mouth to his.He gasped when she jabbed her tongue inside.Dull Knife tore his lips from hers.“Leave now.I want no one to see us together.”At that moment he wanted Spotted Flower more than he had ever wanted any woman.Breathless, he stared at her.“You are the best I have ever had,” he said reluctantly.She pulled her gown down, smiling.Testing her power over him, she rubbed her tongue along his lips, delighted when he groaned once more.“I will be waiting for you,” she told him.Spotted Flower found Claude and pulled him aside.“Dull Knife is just where I want him.”“I discreetly asked around and discovered Dull Knife brought many fine furs into the village.Will he let you near enough to take them?” the Frenchman asked.“Of course,” she said, swinging her hips.“He said to come to him after dark.” She gazed up at the early afternoon sun.“But I believe I shall go to his tipi now.”Claude laughed.“You are like no other.”“And you taught me well.”He looked at her questioningly.“We will meet as we planned?”Spotted Flower nodded.“Yes.I give you the skins and you lead me to Fort Benton.”Spotted Flower had no trouble sneaking into Dull Knife’s tipi.He wasn’t there, but she had not expected him to be with the games going on.She dropped to her knees and ran her hand over a very fine beaver skin.There were two huge stacks of valuable skins.Certainly there were enough to satisfy Claude, and even extra for her to keep for her own needs.She reached for the bag at her waist, smiling.Peyote, a plant the Blackfoot used in vision quests.It would muddle the mind, and mixed with the wine Claude had given her, it would surely render Dull Knife helpless.Dull Knife entered a moment later, surprised to find her already there, but his dark eyes immediately filled with anticipation.“Take your clothing off.”She dropped her gown, and stood before him naked.“Take yours off,” she said, swinging her hips and walking slowly toward him.Spotted Flower did not anticipate any trouble from Dull Knife.Her most immediate problem would be sneaking the furs out of camp without being discovered.She would save the wine and peyote mixture until dark because it would be easier to make her escape under cover of night, especially if Dull Knife was unconscious.There would be so many people wandering about, socializing and listening to stories of the day’s contests, surely no one would notice her.She hoped.Chapter NineteenWhen Rain Song finally returned to her family’s tipi, she stopped in her tracks.Wind Warrior was standing outside talking to Broken Lance, his expression grim.With her heart beating faster, she ducked her head and quickly moved inside, fearing Wind Warrior would see how his presence disturbed her.As Tall Woman watched Rain Song, she noticed the turmoil brewing inside her daughter, and knew the reason for it.Reaching for a stack of sweet cakes, she handed them to Rain Song.“Deliver these to Yellow Bird—she is expecting them.”Rain Song met Tall Woman’s eyes, and mouthed the words “Thank you.”To Rain Song’s surprise, Wind Warrior was still speaking to her father when she left the tipi.She moved to step around him, but his words stopped her.“I will walk with you, if you do not mind.”With her heart accelerating, Rain Song could not find her voice—she glanced at Broken Lance, expecting him to object, but he merely smiled and nodded [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
