There she was; golden hair tangled and dripping with water. Her floral patterned dress had darkened from it's creamy hue as it collected the water falling from the sky. Just as Alice hoped and anticipated, Uncas noticed the woman's breasts; their form enhanced prominently by the wet cloth clinging to her skin, her nipples, erect and protruding hard like little rocks. God, she is beautiful the Native thought, wondering if her beauty increased if she should peel off her wet clothing.
Unlike the first time he had seen her, Uncas was unable to take his eyes off of her; he was so enticed by Alice that he fell into a trance-like state. He licked his lips, fantasizing a possible tryst once they all had reached Fort William Henry. Damn Uncas thought, scolding himself for his hopes, for something in his mind told him this dream would never come true; and though it shocked him, some moments, like this one, he believed that this delusion of a romance with Alice Munro was only ever possible in his deepest dreams.
In most cases, such situations would, and did prove unworkable. Uncas knew that, and did not fight with the common day reality. I know I will not have her. I should embrace that, and move on and forget that I even laid eyes on her. But wait- Uncas, about to mentally rant on about the improbability of the matter, was at a sudden loss for words as he noticed something. Something wonderful, something that made it hard for the Indian to breathe She is looking at me; just me. Only me. And smiling.. .
It was true; Alice Munro had been gazing dreamily at Uncas for several minutes; a soft and sensual smile tracing across her pink lips. Like any man in love, Uncas became enthralled by this look of affection.
Moments passed before Uncas had the courage to look Alice in the eye; no words were spoken, and no gestures were made between the two of them. They just stared, both completely comfortable with the silence surrounding them. Her eyes Uncas thought, a discreet smile appearing on his lips are like the water; swirling and dancing with life. Those eyes. Those beautiful eyes. .
