Thread: Goldilocks And The Three 'Bears' - (Quix and Cyanide)

RE Goldilocks And The Three 'Bears' - Quix and Cyanide Papa smiled at the small wave, and grace with which Goldielocks returns his son's greeting. She appeared a nice young woman, and that only reinforced the anger he felt. She must have been extremely frightened to have been forced to run away and break into a strangers house. Her Step-father needed a stern talking to. When her arms wrapped around him, Papa returned the hug. A flash of guilt passed through him as the feel of her soft, young body against his caused him to tighten his grip. It had been too long since Papa had held a woman - longer even than his boys. He was aware that they occasionally frolicked with one of the village girls who, to put it mildly, was not exactly of marriage material, but had held his tongue. Young men had their urges. Just what we need, and it will be a pleasure to have you around the house . Rupert patted her on the back, and pushed impure thoughts from his mind as her arms encircled him for a second time. That's right. Edmund, I'm the eldest. His son's toothy grin lit up his face as moved to his knees after finishing his exchange with Walt, and took in her features. I love your hair, it's beautiful, I've never seen anything quite like it . He spoke as she clambered onto his back, and she felt as light as a feather. Edmund stepped to his feet, and enjoyed the sensation of her smooth skin as his fingers wrapped around her calves. His palms also brushed against the smears of dirt by her arduous run though the trees. When we get home, I'll draw you a bath or, if it's not too late, we can stop on the way, and bathe in the river? Papa drew in a deep breath, and glared at his boy. This is serious business son, we're not here for games. Though his voice was harsh, he had to struggle to keep a smile off his face. He was well aware that Edmund was looking for an excuse to remove his shirt, and impress her with his physique. There'll be plenty of time for that, later. The Patriach's eyes moved to Goldielocks, and he nodded. Riverview. I haven't been there in a long while, but I know the way. I'm glad we can help, you'll be safe with us. Don't worry, I don't plan to hurt your Step-Father, just give him a fright. Rupert's voice had dropped to match the softness of hers, and he squeezed her shoulder for reassurance. Not unless you want us to. Edmund hitched her higher onto his back. Then, he began to move in the direction she had indicated. The walk turned into a jog, which became close to a sprint, and soon he was almost out of sight. With Goldielocks bouncing up and down on his back, her golden hair flying, and dirt splattered skirt lifting with the movement to reveal more of her body than she probably realised, Papa laughed as he watched. He allowed them to go a little further before he lifted his hands to his mouth, and called out in his booming voice, in a tone which brooked no disagreement. Edmund. Stop. NOW The elder boys feet hit a patch of dead leaves as he came to a halt, and he stumbled almost to his knees, with Goldielocks on his shoulder. What, Papa? He recovered his balance, and called out to his approaching Father. Slow down, or Walt will never catch up to us, he doesn't know which path we're taking, answered Papa as he held his son's eyes for a moment. Both of them knew that's exactly what he intended. Plus, poor Goldielocks here has already had enough scares for one day. His eyes crinkled with amusement as he winked at her. I'm sorry if I scared you, I didn't mean to Edmund's worriedly glanced over his shoulder, hoping that he hadn't done anything wrong. I'll go slower. Papa walked beside them as they made their way through the forest, ensuring he left a trail that his younger son would be able to follow. He asked Goldielocks about her family, but didn't pry too much. He was sure he'd find out everything in time. After thirty minutes or so, they heard a rustling noise in the bushes, and the sound of footsteps. The men halted their conversation, and turned to see Walt appear, a cloth sack and Goldielocks boots slung over one shoulder. The boy glanced at his Father and sibling, then his attention turned to the girl. I've brought your boots, and some biscuits and water. I thought you might be hungry or thirsty. The sack landed on the ground, and Walt bent excitedly to open it, his eyes darting up to the young woman on his brother's back.
