"How are you feeling?" she asked.
"All I need is a good morning kiss and I'll be fine," he grinned at her.
"Oh Aiden," she fussed until his lips covered hers in a more than amorous kiss. His arms pulled her closer, as he continued kissing her for long breathless moments.
When he came up for air, she cuddled into him. "Where are the others?" she asked.
"Hopefully at the fort." He told her.
"I guess we should get there too."
"You're not going!" he told her.
"What do you mean, I thought you were supposed to bring me in?" she questioned.
"That was before I found out his plan." Aiden told her, sitting up.
"Whose plan?"
"Major Marsh. According to those two, he was gonna make an example of you. He was gonna hang you."
"Hang me? For what?"
"Just to show Yellow Deer he meant business I suppose. Those yokels back there, they were talking about it. I'm not about to let him get a hold of you. I'm taking you to Bozeman."
"Bozeman, why?"
"You'll be safe there. I'm getting my gear and quitting. Then you and I are getting married and find us a place to live quietly for the rest of our lives." He told her with a grin. "That is… if you will marry me."
She stared, her mouth drifting open to look at him.
"Are you—sure about this?" She asked, her voice softened.
"I've been trying to figure out a way to tell since you dropped out of that tree and kissed me quite thoroughly."
"But what will you do?"
"I don't know, we'll figure that out as we go." He grinned.
"But won't they be looking for us?"
"Nope, I'm quitting and I'm putting the White Silver Fox out of misery."
"I don't understand?"
He leaned to kiss her again. After several minutes of melting kisses, he stared into her beautiful blue eyes. "I'm leaving them with a report, telling them that the men who took you killed you. I got there too late, you were dead, and I killed them. End of story."
"Ah…. That's so smart, Aiden!"
"I know, you won't be hunted any longer, and I am retiring as a scout." He told her. "But I gotta know one thing?"
"What?' she smiled at him now.
"Are you going to marry me and put me out of this misery?"
She looked into his eyes and melted. "Oh Aiden, I've always loved you. I'd be proud to be your wife."
He smiled. Kissed the tip of her nose and told her, "Then let's go into town and get a room and I'll go make my last report out."
