“How long is she going to continue to ignore me?”

“Give her time.”

“It’s been six sunrises and she has yet to say a single word to me.”

“She’s stubborn set in her ways besides if I were her I would grant you the same treatment.”

“Why, I did nothing wrong?!”

“You informed her you are to be wed once you return.”

“Where is the harm in my words?”

“The harm you’re a nice piece of cunt to hear you are promised to another I’d be upset to, “LaMiya says riding a horse with her wrist bound and a rope wrapped around her waist that Carmen held from the end.

“Still tongue, “she yells.

“Your mind can’t possibly be clouded by absent thought.”

“It is far from clouded yes Shane and I have a past but now were——.”

“Wounds still linger, “Tara says cutting her off then giving her an explanation of Shanes behavior. The image of the lust stain she had on her pants from staring at Carmen bathe played vividly in her mind. Listening to her words the meaning was not lost to her.

“Impossible.”

“How so?”

“Shane has a woman, Molly remember and I have mine.”

“What’s her name?”

“Molly.”

“No, your woman what is her name?”

“Elsa.”

“Elsa?”

“Yes.”

“You love her.”

“Very much, “her response caused Tara to shake her head in disagreement.

“You do not agree?”

“I do not.”

“I am not seeking your approval it is my life and a fate I greatly welcome!”

“You are mistaken it is not fate but a decision made in place of one.”

“I do not understand when Shane and I were together you voiced consistent disapproval.”

“I did not.”

“Yes you did and frequently!”

“Correction, I did not disapprove of the union I disapproved of hearing you take her to your dripping thighs twice every night.”

“I bet you drip like honey, “LaMiya says licking her lips in a sexual gesture. Carmen beyond irritated tugs on the rope forcing LaMiya to jerk back suddenly causing her to laugh out loud.

“Sick fuck, “Tara says.

“You sound as if you expect us to rekindle what we held in the past.” Looking ahead at Shane who rode ahead of them Tara brings her horse to a halt causing Carmen and LaMiya to stop as well.
