One fine Kansas summer morning, Beatrice wrung the bathwater from her long, golden hair. She felt sexy lying naked and soapy under the big, cloudless sky while her papa was out mending fences and her mother was in town at the market selling eggs for some new thread for the upcoming winter.
Bea begged her mom not to make her go to town as she wanted to take a long, undisturbed bath and finish her new novelette, entitled, "The Brave and the Prairie Princess". She needed a break from watching over her two younger sisters and ma agreed. No sooner had ma's whip cracked at the wagon horses than Bea was pumping water and filling the large tin tub she would enjoy the morning in.
The cold water provided sensual relief from the hot, dry, windless day. It also caused her nipples to stick straight out of the soapy water necessitating a gentle tugging and pinching now and then to keep them sensitive while she flipped the pages of her book.
Her hero, One Buck, an Apache brave who sneaks into town to court Alexandria, the town mayor's youngest daughter, has led his prize down to a secluded clearing by a gurgling stream.
Alexandria has brought a picnic and begins to take out food when One Buck, too excited to waste time eating, impatiently unhooks Alex's dress and pulls her top down to her waste. Alexandria blushes and darts her eyes to and fro, scanning for spies or passersby. None are found as One Buck begins kissing her fervently. Shoulders, arms, and each breast. Gasps escape Alex's mouth along with feigned protestations as One Buck's oily, sun-baked hands reach up her dress, deeper and deeper...
His long, black mane covers her bare shoulders as he kisses her deeply. His rough fingers opening her up...
A shadow passes across the bright sunlight illuminating Beatrice's literature. Looking up, it's not a cloud, but to her horror a real, red Indian brave, on top of a pony, staring at her with no trace of expression on his face.
Bea's eyes swept the landscape around her, her heart aflutter...no papa, no mama, not event a cluck from the hen house.
The painted heathen, even more terrifying in person than in the stories described by her pastor at school, deftly slid off his pony and walked to the tub's edge.
