I needed to get to the store to get some supplies ... my whole reason for being here in the first place. I was troubled with Amber's reaction. This wa... the first time she'd ever tried to kiss me that I was aware of ... and she'd done that exceptionally well. 'What were her parents thinking about her and me?' I wondered.Amber's bra and panties were lying on the floor by the shower, forgotten in the moment I supposed. I picked them up and put them with my wet clothes to be taken care of. Normally, the only women in a saloon were whores, and she didn't want to be mistaken for one of them at this time. I convinced her to come along, since I would be along to protect her from unwanted advances. We went in and ordered a beef sandwich and two Mexican beers. I had heard of the Mexican beer, and I was anxious to try it out.We had just finished eating and were about to stand up from our table when four men walked in. One look told me that they were trouble. They were thugs and bullies,. And this was one of those times. Coming to a stop, I lay down upon the carpet of leaves and stared up at the ceiling of leaves. Or rather the small leaves that were starting to appear. I loved seeing nature come back to life in the spring and I was content just lying there, watching the leaves grow. But then the blissfully calmness of the forest came to an abrupt end. I heard the sounds of leaves being disturbed. At first, I thought it was my father come to get me for lunch, but the sound was. "Victoria Leon. So that's who she is." Daughter of an explorer apparently. He made his money prospecting for diamonds in Africa. She's working her way through it." Perhaps we should help her?" Oh, I'm sure you'd like to get to grips with her again after what you said about your last encounter." That's not the point." Maxine raised an eyebrow but Gregg pressed on. "It's not. Look, we'll turn her over properly. You can come along and make sure I behave. It'll set the police and mayor at one.
