romantic.
A hand in the shoulder of Travis was gotten up, supported and it drowned the laughter.
-- Travis, the flowers are precious. Truely they gustan to me much.
When seeing that it did not respond and who had muscles of the neck rigid, really it was sorry to have laughed. Travis had done all that to please it, and only that
she did was to laugh.
-- Good looking to that I can cause that enfado goes to you -- it whispered, while him mordisqueaba the ear and with the language caressed to him lobe --. Perhaps if I kiss rodilla to you wound, it leaves of dolerte -- it murmured, lowering with the lips by the arm of Travis.
-- Perhaps -- Travis responded, with very deep voice --. I would like to prove it.
Regan, conscious of the way in that Travis had treaty to please it, wanted to do the own thing. Empujo smoothly and discovered that it was like wax in his manos; and it intrigued its expression to him of curiosity and to please. The force of Travis surrendering to her caused sensation to him of being able.
It began by the knee and, of there, its lips ascendieron, followed by its hands, masajeando to him the leg and delighting with its muscles. When it arrived at the center of his masculinidad, Travis moaned and whispered the name of the girl. With a single movement, it raised it the bed. With the dark eyes and ignited it attracted it its side and it penetrated it at a moment. It did not have the calm of always; he was a man taken to the end of its tolerance and blinded by desire.
Its violent necessity excited to Regan; especialmente because it knew that it had caused it. It raised its body under the one of him and it penetrated with force, throwing of her, pushing it, having it.
When to the aim the fury ended an intense explosión, Regan was weak by the furious storm that desataban when doing the love. Exhausted, they fell asleep the one in arms of the other.
—¡Levántate! -- Travis ordered, giving him palmada in its beautiful and firm rumps --. If not ponemos us in way, never we will arrive a house of Clay, and if you think that I will spend one night with you in that small canoe, you you mistake.
Regan did not have idea of what it spoke, so that, without no commentary, separated the hair from the eyes and cleared a petal of tulipán that had adhered to him to the cheek.
-- Why you would not spend the night with me in barco?-- it asked with laziness, while it was gotten up, aturdida and exhausted... but happy.
--No is a boat -- a --, but boat responded to Travis small, and surely we would be shipwrecked with your acrobacias.
-- With my...? -- it began to protest Regan, tratando of to be victim, but as it were there, seated undresses in the middle of all those squashed flowers, with the ignited cheeks and the dozed eyes, it could not seem more than a tempting fairy.
Travis watched it in the mirror. Its glance made it sonreír and to threaten to recline again in the bed.
--No, you do not dare noticed Travis to him, with one threatening expression --. If you do not rise right now, I will be in charge of which in my house we have separated dormitories.
The absurd one threatens made it laugh; but of all formas one rose and it began to wash itself. One felt so well that it could not do nothing of haste. Nevertheless, Travis, instead of helping it to get dressed, stayed to side, esperándola with impatience.
When to the aim she was ready, took it almost to drays a the ground floor and to a table where breakfast waited for abundante to them. Travis it attacked the food as if it was on the verge of dying of hunger, grumbling by under because no longer it ate with regularity and because it was consumiendo it in the flower of the life, but their eyes shone with diversion.
In a while, the trunks to the boat were loaded and they started up by the James river towards the home of Travis, and Regan began a to harass it with questions. Before one had resisted as much to that trip that did not have thought much about where Travis lived.
-- Your farm is very great? You yourself altars the field, or you have employees? Your house is as pretty as the one of judge and Martha?
Travis watched it a little while, perplex, and smiled.
--Mi... in... farm is quite extensive, and I have algunos employees, but sometimes hoop the fields i myself. And I believe that my house is... pretty, but perhaps it seems me because she is mine.
--Y construíste with your own hands -- Regan added, with soñador air and a hand hanging level with the water. Perhaps in a country simple like that one, its lack of experience in the handling of one marries no it was so desastrosa. Fairell had said that it knew that it could not to manejar its property, and Regan was sure that not equivocaba. But with a small house like the one of Travis, perhaps of one or two rooms, could to fix them to it.
The increasing tepidity of the sun and its thoughts pleasant soon they induced sleep it.
Rather later, it woke up frightened when hearing firing over its head. It was on the verge of falling to the water by the scare; when raising the Vista, saw Travis with a raised smoky pistol towards sky.
-- I woke up to You? -- it asked.
By the enthusiasm that was in its face, To water "it knew that something was about to to happen and did not respond that idiot question. One stretched and it watched at his mientras Travis around returned to load the pistol, but it did not see more than the river and the abundant foliage to both sides.
-- We are near the house of Clay -- Travis explained, and it returned to shoot to the air.
Regan threw a look to the dense woods that it surrounded and it was wondered how somebody could construct a house there, but in that moment saw that the trees desaparecían steeply to the left. It had a length muelle of wood with two boats, both greater than that one in which they went, and when approaching, many edificios were descried. There were great houses and small, plowed gardens, fields, laborers throughout, horses, carts and, in general, much activity.
-- Your house also is in this town? -- preguntó Regan while Travis maneuvered the boat towards muelle. Travis emitted one serious giggle that the girl did not understand.
-- This is not a town. It is the plantation of Clay.
Regan did not remember to have heard that word. It opened mouth to make more questions, but interrupted an infantile laughter that they attracted the attention of Travis.
Quickly, he jumped outside the boat and soon a helped Regan to disembark, just on time to raise in arms to two of the children more beautiful than she it had seen.
—¡Travis Uncle! -- they exclaimed, laughing, while he them it rotated in its arms --. You have brought us something? The uncle Clay was worried by you. How it is England? Mother had two babies instead of one, and we have more puppies.
-- And so mother, eh? -- Travis said, laughing. The boy watched to its sister with disdain.
--Se refers Nicole. Sometimes it costs to remember that no she is our mother.
Following close by the children a high man arrived and thin, of dark hair and eyes, pómulos projections and an expression of immense joy.
-- Where demons you were? -- it asked, to tiempo that it tended the hand to Travis and soon it embraced it with great efusividad.
—¡I went ahead several weeks, and you know it very well! -- Travis --. responded Nobody went to receive, and I had to leave my luggage to me in deposit and to rent this miserable boat.
Travis indicated towards the boat with an exaggerated gesture, with which Clay saw Regan, that she was in silence in the end of the wharf. But before the man could make any question, Travis sent long sigh.
-- it is Here who it loved to see -- it was the commentary of Travis.
One went ahead quickly, took in its arms a young person very pretty and it kissed it efusivamente. Right away, the other man let watch a Regan and became towards both. It seemed to try to dominate some emotion.
Immediately, Travis lead the woman towards wharf.
-- Quiero presentarte to somebody -- it said.
Close by
, the woman was more beautiful still than to the distant spot: it had the face in heart form, great castaños eyes and sensual mouth. With a fast one watched of evaluación, Regan saw that it had a muselina dress purple
, with muscles green tapes under the figure. ¡And she pensaba to teach to the Americans which was the last fashion! The dress of that woman could be brilliant in the real cut. --Te I present/display my wife, Regan -- Travis said, watching it with pride --. It is Clayton Armstrong and she, its wife Nicole. And these loafers -- he added, smiling -- are the nephews of Clay, Alex and Mandy.
-- Much taste -- Regan, perplex still said by those people. Distaban much of its idea respect to the North Americans.
-- you do not want to happen to the house? --la invited Nicole --. You must be tired; I doubt that Travis has let to you rest much.
When hearing that, comic Travis and Regan contained the breath, hoping that grosería did not respond with one.
Regan was limited to follow Nicole with docilidad, and this one smiled.
A little exhausting --Es, right? Regan watched his around, trying to understand in what place class was.
A robust and blond woman approached them to carrera with the skirt raised well over the ankles. -- It is Travis that finishes to arrive? -- it shouted before being next to the group.
-- Yes, and she is her wife, Regan. Regan, you presento to Janie Langston.
-- Its wife? -- Janie, surprised --. repeated ¡It did it! That Travis is a wonder. It said that it was going to Inglaterra to look for a wife. Wanted -- it said, supporting the hand in the arm of Regan --, waits for much work to you being the wife of Travis Stanford. I hope that you have the sufficient anger in order to do to him in front.
Said that, it threw to run towards the wharf.
-- Who lives more here? -- Regan asked Nicole.
-- the Enough people, in fact. There are laborers of campo, weavers, the ones in charge of the farm, gardeners... in short, all people necessary in a plantation.
-- Plantation... -- Regan murmured that strange word. They entered one long row of shrubs now that hid partly buildings.-- Travis said that you were going to have a baby, and the children said something he approaches gives two.
Nicole outlined a beautiful smile.
-- Parece that in the family of Clay they abound twin; four months ago I had a man and a girl. Let us enter and you I will show with pleasure.
In front of them it appeared an enormous house of ladrillos, approximately of the same size that the Weston house. Regan wished that its face no it reflected his stupor. Claro that in clear America also was rich people and that some would have mansions. It was only that in England people spoke of that North America was so young that they had not had time to construct much.
Inside the house, the rooms were sorprendentemente charmers, ample, with upholstered furniture
painted silk, paperings, pictures en by hand in walls. The tables and the writing-desks were adornados with you cry just cut.
-- Pasemos to the room. I will bring the children. When single being in that room, Regan was still more astonished when appreciating its elegance. Against a wall there was a Sheraton writing-desk with delicate incrustaciones and, on him, a mirror with gold frame. , there was a high closet to Enter-you with books bound in leather.
Regan had only known the Weston house, that, in comparison, was ugly and poor. There everything resplandecía clean and well taken care of. There was no cracked plaster, tapizados frayed nor surfaces spent.
Regan separated its attention from the furniture of the room when Nicole with a baby entered each arm. To principio, Regan not it dared to take in arms to some from them, but Nicole convinced it that it could do it. In a while, the niñito smiled to him and it responded to him with sonidos, and as soon as one noticed when Travis entered and one seated to its side in the sofa. They were single in the room.
-- Crees that we also pruned to have two together ones? Travis asked to him, while it took the hand from the baby and left grasped his finger.
The expression of Travis when observing the baby was of pure joy.
-- you really wish a son, right? -- Regan observed.
-- For a long time -- it responded with seriedad and soon it added with its habitual abruptness: -- I never had many desire to marry to me, but it could surround to me by children.
Regan frunció the frown and thought to ask to him why it had loaded with a wife, but it knew the answer. Travis loved the son that it hoped. More ahead, it would demonstrate to him that Serbian for something but that to raise children, juntos would work to improve their farm. Perhaps never llegara to being as pretty as the Armstrong plantation, but someday she would be very comfortable.
-- What seems to you, Travis? -- preguntóClay from door, with evident pride. Mandy was to its side, Alex after him, and a baby in its arms. To Regan it seemed to him happiest of the men.
-- Clay -- Travis --, said what result gave those you new cows? The hay of the year rusted to you
happened?
Since the uncles men seemed to want to speak of businesses and both were contentments with the babies, Regan gave to Travis the one that it had in arms and it was put of foot. Travis did not put repairs to raise to the boy, to difference of Regan, that feared that it fell to him.
-- Creo that I will look for Nicole -- it said, and Clay him it indicated where it was the kitchen.
From outside, it heard say to Clay:
Prettier --Es of which I thought that you could conseguir --, to which Travis only responded with a bellow.
With the high forehead, Regan crossed the adornado lobby with flowers, it left by the back door, it turned towards the left and it was directed to the kitchen, that was in edificio separated. In the great room all they were occupied, and Nicole, with the arms covered with flour, directed it everything. When a kid dropped without wanting one cesta with eggs, with she cracked everything, in a bowl with mass, Nicole did not get upset. Two children, with clothes simple but clean, they happened running, and Nicole catched a milk bucket just on time so that it was not spilled. Even while enderezaba, raised Vista, saw Regan and smiled with calidez.
One cleaned the hands in the apron and one went ahead.
-- Moan to have had dejarte, but wanted that it prepared a good supper for you.
-- This always is thus? -- Regan asked, a little
horrified.
-- Almost always. There is very many people who to alimentar. -- Nicole began to take off the apron.-- Necesito to cut some grass, and so time you would like to give a stroll before the supper, if too much you are not tired.
-- Dormi' most of the trip -- Regan responded with a smile --. And it would enchant to see to me... plantation.
Later, Regan thought that nothing could it have preparado for everything what it showed Nicole to him. A man prepared a cart to them of two wheels and Nicole lead it by the plantation, while it indicated each one to him of the dependencies. Regan had been in the certain thing in its primera impression. plantation was a species of town, only that had a single owner. Almost all necessary to live towards, it was cultivated, it was fished or it was hunted there. Nicole showed the farm to him, the pigeon house, rejeduría, the stables, tannery and the carpentry, and around the kitchen was a ahumadero, malteadero and lavadero. Nicole showed the many hectares to him of fields of cotton, linen, wheat and tobacco. To the other side of the river, there was a mill where they ground grains. Cows, ewes and horses pastaban in separated areas.
-- and you handle all this? -- Regan, astonished asked.
-- Clay helps a little -- Nicole, laughing --, responded but, yes, it is work much. We did not leave much, but tampoco we needed to do it since here we have all the necessary one.
-- You are very happy, right? -- Now if -- it responded Nicole --. But not always it was easy. -- Miro' towards the mill, to the other side of river.-- Clay and Travis are friends from the childhood, and I also hope that we let us be
friends.
-- Never I have had a friend -- Regan said, mirando a that woman who was so slight how she. They do not tenían idea of the showy thing that they were, Nicole with its black hair and Regan with his, brown dark with golden reflections reddish.
--Yo either -- Nicole --. said Not a true friend with who could speak. -- With a smile it shook the reins and the horse put itself in march.--- Someday, when we have long time, I will count you how I knew a Clay.
Regan ruborizó, thinking that it never could to count to nobody how it had known Travis. In the first place, nobody it would believe.
-- Tengo appetite, and you?-- Nicole --. commented And I believe that my babies must be an atrocious hungry.
--Y, without a doubt, Travis also -- Regan added, laughing.
-- It is as young as it seems? -- Clay asked, acunando to its son in arms and watching after the window to Nicole and Regan, that moved away in the car.
-- you will think to Me if I say to you that I do not know how many anuses tiene? And that is something that I fear to ask to him. Imagínate if resultara to have sixteen.
-- Travis, of what demons you speak? How you knew it? You could not ask its age its parents?
Travis did not have intentions to trust that history a nobody. Years back, when the older brother of Clay, James, lived, it would have been able to trust him, but now it could not reveal that it had kidnapped his wife.
Clay seemed to understand it, because there were things that he tampoco he wanted to reveal about itself... and of which it had happened between him and Nicole.
-- so it is always shut up? I do not want to be entrometido, but you two seem a incongruente pair.
-- Sabe to defend his -- Travis responded, sonriendo, with a brightness in eyes --. To tell the truth, I do not know how it is. It seems to change a every moment. In momento she is a romantic creature and soon... --Se it interrupted when remembering that morning, when they made the love.-- It is as it is, me it is fascinating.
