"Yes, from the moment you took me, I felt safe, and I have since I've been with you. Safe in those big, beautiful arms."
"I want to take your hair down now, I want to run my hands through it."
"My hair?"
"Yes, you have such beautiful hair," he told her.
"Can I touch yours too?"
"You may touch anything you want." He shot her a gentle smile. "I am yours now. We are married, and we can love freely now."
He moved to unbraid her hair, and as he did, he ran his hands through it. "Like spun gold." He whispered.
It fell down to her waist and he could not stop touching it.
He took her cheeks in his hands, his thumbs working tenderly over her softness. "I will always love you Hannah."
"Promise?" she asked softly.
"Promise." He smiled and kissed her tenderly.
After making love once more, they cuddled into each other and slept. When he woke he turned her on her stomach and kissed every mark on her back.
She was shocked at his action. "Lone Wolf, you do not have to look upon me there…"
"But I do. I love you Hannah, and this is part of you. A part that needs my love. You think it is ugly, I think it is beautiful as it made you who you are. I don't just love your body, I love your soul. Our souls are one today. But there is nothing I do not love about you. You must learn this, as it is the truth. No matter what anyone else says, this is part of you and you must understand that I love it. Never hide from me Hannah, for in my eyes every inch of you is beautiful. You are my love; my life and I will never let anyone hurt you again. I'm not ashamed of your scars. I'm proud of them. Let me kiss them well, and you will begin to understand it."
"I hide because I feel ugly there."
"That is because of other's words, not mine. But you are not. You are the most beautiful woman I've ever known. I love you, want you, need you. We are one, Hannah. I will never let anyone hurt you again. Never be ashamed with me again."
She stared, and touched his face, "You are the only one that has ever loved me, just the way I am."
"Our tribe embraces your scars Hannah. For almost all have seen them. Not a one of them are ashamed of you. You are braver than any woman I know, and I am proud to be your husband."
She kissed him so tenderly for his words, as they touched her heart. She would remember this day always as the day she found true love!
Chapter Twenty-Three
For three days they made love, walked naked around each other, he played his flute for her, they were in heaven.
Then on the fourth day they got dressed and joined the rest of the tribe.
There was much rejoicing in the tribe as it was happy times.
Hannah visited Gray Eye every day, she would sit and read to him, try to play the flute, and talk to him of things she had learned.
He rejoiced in her visits, but he was getting worse.
Then one cold and rainy day, she went inside his tipi and found him dead.
She screamed for the first time in her life. Tears tolled down her cheek. Black Feather, Little Feather and White Dove came in, and they all saw.
Red Hawk came by and when he saw what had happened he went to get Lone Wolf.
"Your father, he is gone!" Red Hawk said hoarsely.
Lone Wolf hung his head. He walked to the tipi to find his father slumped in his bed, lifeless.
