"We will go to my lodge, yes? I will make you happy there where no one can see." She slugged his shoulder. "You did that on purpose!" He laughed and tucked her under one arm to hold her close to his side as they walked. When they came within sight of the village, she drew away. A guilty flush dotted her cheeks. Hunter threw back his head and laughed. She retaliated by grabbing up a handful of pebbles to throw at him. Her aim was terrible, but Hunter ran out of throw's reach anyway--until her ammunition was exhausted. Then he doubled back, charging, so he could reach her before she gathered more rocks. She shrieked and fled. His longer legs quickly closed the distance between them. He swept her off her feet and tossed her over his shoulder, clamping one arm across the backs of her knees. Playfully she pummeled his back. Just as playfully he ran his free hand up her skirt and gave her bottom a light pinch. All in all, Hunter decided, it had been a good day."
