Tightly clenched in his other hand was a wicked-looking knife, the blade shining razor sharp. He stood as if poised to spring into action, his piercing black eyes surveying the room, intently scrutinizing the shadowed interior. His wide, heavily muscled shoulders stiffened at the sound of a moan from the bed, and his alert gaze moved to that comer of the room.“N’tha thah!”His harsh, guttural words grated on Linsey’s ears, making her tremble.With a threatening stare in her direction, he moved gracefully to the bed. Still poised like a mountain eat expecting danger, he swiftly threw back the furs.As Linsey watched, she desperately searched for a plan to protect the defenseless man. Bear’s hunting knife lay on the table, and without conscious thought, she crept slowly toward it. The Indian continued his survey of Bear, his back toward her.Her hand closed around the knife, and without sound, Linsey rose to her feet, her body seeming to act on its own accord. She had fought too hard to save Bear’s life from the fever to sit back and watch him be killed by a savage.Linsey took two hesitant steps toward the vulnerable copper back, the knife raised above her head.
