"You are, to me!" She smiled and kissed his nipple. "So tell me, how old were you when you left home?"

He looked at her with fire in his eyes. "I was fourteen when I left."

"That is young."

"My family hated the whites. I do not know why I even suggested us going there now. They would never accept you. Only in my dreams."

"Then we will not go." She looked suddenly worried, not for herself, but for him. "Unless you want to."

"I want to be married to you. You will be my wife. My only wife. I want this. I want the ceremony for you. You must know and never doubt how much I love you. I will do anything for you. And the children too."

She smiled, "I want it too! And Hawk, that's all that matters. What we do after that is our life. To risk your life, like you are doing now, tells me everything I need to know. And nothing, nothing will ever come between us."

He kissed her once more; this kiss was sweet, tender and loving. It had little to do with passion but much to do about their love for each other. It showed her how he revered her and how he held her above all others. It promised that they would be married.

Chapter Sixteen

They said their goodbyes to Jinx but Hawk made a promise. "If we settle somewhere, and I come get you, will you come and live out the rest of your life with us?"

Jinx thought about that. His eyes spanned the horizons, and he slowly nodded. "I am getting up in years. All right, if you settle, I'll come."

Hawk was pleased.

Once they were across the Red, the trip seemed more treacherous.

The land here was not as cultivated, not as many settlers were here. There were no clear paths.

They trekked onward, climbing hills, crossing creeks, camping out under the stars. The kids were enjoying it, as an adventure, feeling safe with Hawk protecting them. But as evenings came, they were ready to rest. After they ate and played with the kids a bit, the kids were tired and went to bed without being coaxed.

"How soon will we be there?" Eve asked him as the sun began to set and she washed their dishes in the creek.

"We should run into their camp soon."

The joy of being together and being able to openly admire each other filled her. He wore his shirt and leggings and she stared at his strong thighs and arms. She thought about those arms wrapping around her. She blushed. A blissful peace surrounded them as he squatted down and tasted her lips.

"Make love to me Hawk…" She cried pulling him down to her for another kiss. He set the dishes away and lay beside her on the grassy banks.

"Do you think you are with child?" He asked her gently.

"I do not know. Look at my breasts are they fuller?" she pulled her shirt up for his inspection. He gasped, and touched his lips there.

He scooped her in his arms and his hands took possession of her. "I will plant my seed so many times; your body will nourish it and accept it as my child."

"Oh Hawk…I can't wait to have your babies…"

He looked down at her seriously, "We must go on the assumption that you are not pregnant and I must continue to plant the seeds…"

She smiled sexily at him. "Yes, my love…"

Gently peeling her clothes from her, he hurriedly threw his shirt over his head, and threw his leggings aside. He pulled her into the cool water and they came together.

He pulled her legs around him and entered her roughly, and she smiled like a temptress. As they began the rhythm, she leaned back in the water to give him access to her breasts. His eyes devoured her, as he bent to take her offering with a tender kiss to each nipple. He supped for a long while there as they took their time to build to the fire within them.

Her eyes glazed with heated desire. His smile surrounded her with his power to claim her. As they climaxed quickly he stood like a mighty oak tree, strong and virile running his hands over her delicate places. It had been too long since he'd touched her and his excitement melted the need to go slow. His hand reached to excite her further.

They climaxed together in a storm of passion, kissing, fondling, and touching each other with their love unable to quench the thirst they had for each other.

"You've been mine all along, but soon, even more so. Your body is that of a perfect woman, coming to me freely. No one can ever destroy the love between us, Eve, no one."
