    each other for several heartbeats as we tried to understand what the other was thinking. Finally, Elsie said, "You scared me just now, but you didn't mean to, did you? I thought you might mean me harm, but you're just playing with me, right?" I did not understand, but when I smiled, her face too became filled with happiness. She playfully splashed at me and I splashed back, and soon we were both laughing as the joy of living overtook us. We played and swam for a time but soon my attraction for her became too strong. She must have seen the desire in my eyes, but this time she did not run. Still, I could see she was frightened as I approached. How could I tell her I wanted her, not as a prize, but as my mate? My hand was shaking as I reached out and let my fingers travel over the beautiful lines of her face. Elsie seemed reluctant at first, but she steeled herself and then guided my hand over her shoulders and down to her breasts. *** Even as a young girl, I had always envisioned who I'd share my heart with. I thought I'd marry a proper Frenchmen. One who'd be in a successful business, and who my father would approve of. Someone who would take care of me, so I could take care of him at home.

When he jumped into the water and broke through the surface, I was scared and frightened it might be someone else. Someone who was going to hurt me. Even after I saw it was him, there was still a part of me that was fearful. I didn't know him, though the smile on his face melted my heart. He looked like a big kid, with his long, dark hair pooling around him and teeth so white set against his red skin. His chest was hard and chiseled. Seeing him dripping with water made me want to run my tongue over his flesh. With his hands on my breasts, my heart was beating hard against my chest. I couldn't believe I was allowing this, but I couldn't make myself stop. I was feeling things for him that I never had with anyone before. I was free of any man and far from home. For the first time in my life, I could do what I saw fit. I knew then that Red Elk was stealing my heart, and the very idea of succumbing to those feelings was as terrifying as it was irresistible! It was wrong, and maybe even a sin, but I felt a need to be touched and held that made me whimper in his arms.
