When Becky awoke and started making her needs known, I held her to me and fed her a nipple. I'll swear it felt like the love was flowing out of my bod... and into hers. Feeding our little one was one of the greatest feelings I have ever had.At breakfast, Andy said they were going into town to pick up four wagons. I reminded him to check with the wagon maker about hired hands and he assured me he would. All of the men, except for Rawhide and Ab went to retrieve the wagons. Ab was still gone on his. ’ John’s eyes narrowed. His jaw clenched. Definitely no longer carefully blank. ‘Has he ever hurt you?’ ‘No, no. He had never once raised a hand to me. He’s… not the hitting type…’ Blue trailed off weakly. John’s expression told her he didn’t completely believe her. But it was true, Jackson never had hit her. There was the tell-tale bruising on her upper arms for a while, after he had grabbed her and held on too tightly when she had told him she didn’t want to see him any longer. He hadn’t. A petite woman whose bare arms looked to be well muscled in a lithe, feminine manner. Her breasts seem to be trying to escape from her tight, white dress. Though it only went down to the middle of her thighs, it was buttoned up the entire front. Her legs were encased in white stockings, the edge of which I could just see under the hem of her dress when she moved. Her flaming red hair was pulled up into a tight bun at the back of her neck. A delicate face with a scattering of freckles and deep. I could now see that it was in fact thin rope ties that were intersecting both wrists. This would take some time to unravel, especially considering both hands were tied in opposite directions. I instead focused on my my tied ankles. Leaning forward yet again, I could see that the restraints were mostly made up of industrial tape, about a dozen layers wrapped around each of my ankles; there was only one rope tie, and that could be easily undone. I untied both ankles and let the ropes slide to.
