Margaret's POV:

I followed Michael out of the station building and across the yard to the barn. He pulled my saddle off of the rack as I retrieved my mare from her stall and into the open yard. He made quick work of putting the saddle and the bridal on her.

When he was done he took my bag from me and held onto the bridal. "Mount up." he motioned for me to get on her. I quickly swung up on my horse. Once I was settled he handed me back my bag and I slung it over my shoulder.

"Be careful out there tonight, Margaret." He then slid the strap of the holster over my saddle horn and secured it around the pommel. He tucked the revolver between my leg and my saddle and he covered it with the fold of my skirt.

I nodded back at him. "Thank you. I will be.' I turned my horse and headed off out of town.

The moon was bright and my mare had no trouble finding her footing. She quickly picked up her pace when she realized that we were heading out of town.

As I rode I let my mind wonder. At first I was nervous about seeing him after what happened last time but now that I know that he wants me I am also kind of excited. This means that he has feelings for me and that he wants me around as more than just a babysitter.

Soon I had some to the shack but there were no lights on and there wasn't any movement that I could see. I turned my mare to look at the drill sight. I could see movement down there so I spurred her to head that way.

I rode around the outside of the camp to the office building. Daniel had built it right where he said that he was going to. I dismounted and headed up the stairs.

Fletcher must have seen me coming because he met me at the door. "Miss Jones. What a surprise to see you out here this late at night." He greeted me warmly.

"Michael asked if I would ride out to let Daniel know that the train has arrived with the lumber." I responded.

"Margaret!" HW hollered somewhere behind me. I could hear him running towards me. Within a moment he was beside me and had wrapped his arms around my waist.

Fletcher chuckled as he looked around me. "Thank you for coming. Daniel is still asleep back at the shack, he has been overseeing the night crew the last couple of nights. I will get my men rounded up and we will head into town soon to get the lumber." He turned to HW. "Will you go start telling the men that I need twenty volunteers at the office immediately?'

HW nodded and ran off.

I nodded at him. I was kind of disappointed that I wouldn't see Daniel. "Thank you Fletcher. I will be going now so that I am not in your way."

He smiled "you're not in the way Miss Jones."

I smiled as I turned to leave but Fletcher stopped me. "I was wondering if you would do one favor as you head back into town?' he asked.

"And what is that?" I asked nicely.

"Do you mind stopping up at the shack and making sure that Daniel is awake. I doubt that he is and I am sure that the men will be fine without direct supervision for a few hours but that is not something I want to chance. And with as long as I have worked for Daniel that is not something that I am going to chance." As he spoke he rubbed his eyes. "And please let him know that I will have HW with me."

"Of course. I'd be glad to help. I'll let him know that you have headed into town with the men. Do you need anything else form me before I go? I asked.

"No that will be all. Thank you for your help tonight." He lead the way down the steps and over to my horse. He chuckled when he saw the revolver slung over my horse. "Now why doesn't that surprise me."

"Because you have worked for Daniel for so long that nothing surprises you anymore." I laughed as I swung up on my horse again. I spun her around and headed her out of the work site and in the direction of the shack.

I rode my horse right to the edge of the porch. "Anyone awake in there?" I hollered.

A moment later Daniel' face emerged out of the dark. "Why Miss Jones. What brings you all the way out here in the dark" he smirked before he asked. "Did you ride alone?" the smirk was gone from his face.

"Yes I did." I dismounted trying to be mindful of the revolver, and turned back to the cabin, but Daniel wasn't in the doorway anymore. "I was sent to let you know that the lumber has finally arrived. I have already gone to the work site and let Fletcher know. He was the one that sent me up here to see if you were awake. He and HW are getting ready to take a group of men into town to get the first load of it." As I spoke I walked into the shack.

It was dark inside and I could barely make out the silhouette of him standing at the table. He was playing with an oil lamp and was getting ready to light it. I readied myself for the flare of the match.

"Thank you for the messages but you didn't need to be the one to come out here." He said. I could tell that he wasn't sure what to say. "It was very foolish for you to ride by yourself at night. It is dangerous out here." He didn't look at me as he spoke.

He was trying to find a way to make me leave. I wasn't going to give in that easily tonight. "Daniel there was no one else to send and I have my revolver on me. I have made far worse trips then this. Besides…" I took a step closer to him. "…You are the most dangerous thing out here." The words came out a little more seductive then I had hoped for but there was no way to take them back.

I began to worry that he was going to get upset but he didn't. The words seemed to have the opposite effect on him. They only seemed to fuel his fire. His face lit up and he turned to look at me.

"You think that I am dangerous?" he asked, his voice was full of surprise, as he stepped closer. He stopped when he was just an arm's length away.

"No. I know that you are dangerous." I watched his face as I spoke. "When you want to be." I added. "I think that you are only dangerous to those that are scared of you."

"Are you afraid of me, Miss Jones?" he asked.

I made eye contact with him. "No, Daniel, I'm not. You have never given me a reason to be."

He closed the gap between us and grabbed my hips. He pushed me back until my back hit the wall. "What about now? Are you afraid now?" He demanded in a low voice.

What I feel for you is not fear Daniel Plainview." The words slipped out of my mouth in a whisper before I could stop them. I was breathing hard and my head was starting to spin. I raised my hands and rested them on his chest.

He let out a low groan and buried his face into my shoulder. "You will be the death of me woman." He was breathing hard too and his breath was warm against my neck as he spoke. I couldn't help the shiver that ran down my spine.

"Well if I am to be the death of you will you at least die happy?' I whispered into his ear.

His hands slipped around his waist and pulled me into a tight hug. He gave a big sigh then he placed a soft kiss to the side of my neck.

I felt my knees start to go weak and I quickly slipped my arms around his neck for support. And to keep him close.

He groaned again and raised his lips to my ear. "If tonight's touch is the only touch I every get to have from you then I will die a happy man." He whispered the words but the soft sound seemed unnatural coming from his deep voice. I had to smile.

I sighed. "No you won't Daniel. You wouldn't be happy if tonight is all I gave you. Daniel, you are not a man that can settle for anything less than everything. You won't be happy until you possess all of me." I spoke softly as I pushed him away just enough to watch his face as I spoke. "Besides I wouldn't be happy."

His face fell and he tried to straighten and pull away from me, but I held tight. "Daniel, I wouldn't be happy until you possessed all of me and I possessed all of you." He stilled as he let the words sink in. "I want you Daniel. All of you and I want you to want all of me too." I whispered.

I watched his face but it never changed. He remained motionless and his face was void of all expression.

"Daniel?" I asked softly, but mentally I was screaming for a response. The silence was making me uncomfortable and a part of me wished that he would back up a little. "Please say something."

"If you truly mean what you say then you have made me extremely happy. I cannot begin to tell you what this means to me to know that you feel the same way about me that I do about you. I promise you that I will give you everything that I have and do whatever it takes to keep you happy and give you everything that you want." He pulled me close again.

"Daniel, the only thing that I will ask of you is for a family. I do not know if you want more children or not. And if you don't then I understand and I will do everything in my power to make HW feel like my own but I won't try to overstep." I could tell that I was rambling on and on but I couldn't make myself stop talking.

He laughed and placed a kiss to my forehead. "If you want children then children we shall have. In fact I must insist on expanding my family. And as far as HW he loves you already. I've never seen the boy take to someone as fast as he has done to you." He watched me as he spoke.

A large grin spread across my face "thank you." I whispered.

"Of course, my dear." He stepped back to look at me. "In fact we can start practicing making those children right now if you would like to?" he wagged his eyebrows at me and a devilish grin spread across his face.

"Daniel Plainview!" I exclaimed as I playfully pushed him away.

He laughed as he pulled me close again. "Of course I'll never ask anything of you that you don't want."

"I want you to kiss me Daniel." I asked.

"Now that was a bold request." He said.

"Doesn't every bold man deserve a bold wife?" I countered.

"Yes." He quickly pressed himself up against me and pressed a kiss to my lips.

It only lasted a few seconds before he pulled back. I was breathing hard again. He gave me a questioning look before I pulled him down for another kiss. This one lasted much longer and was more deep then the first one. He ran his hands down my back until they came to rest on my bottom and he grabbed ahold.

He pulled me back with him as he sat on the edge of the bed. I had a much better angle and grabbed ahold of a handful of hair. He quickly let go and broke the kiss. "My apologies, Maggie. I seem to have gotten ahead of myself." He laughed breathless but still held me tight.

"I'm sorry too, Daniel." I rested my head on his chest. "I should probably leave soon or else I might take you up on that offer." I smirked at him.

He thought for a moment. "Yes you should go." He finally said. "As much as I want to fully make you mine tonight I don't want any rumors to spread about you through the town." He placed kisses to my neck as he spoke.

I grinned as I pulled away from him. "Daniel, your words say one thing but your actions say another."

He laughed. "Very well, Miss Jones I shall stop tormenting you for now." He placed a quick kiss to my lips. "Let me finish getting dressed and I will escort you back to your home."

I nodded and stepped outside and waited for him. He emerged a few minutes later. He walked over to where his horse was tied and saddled him. As soon as he was finished he walked over to assist me up on my horse.

I didn't need the help but I figured that I probably shouldn't argue with him. I could tell that his mood had changed but it was still dark. I let him hold my ankle as I swung up in the saddle. Once again he let his hand linger but this time I didn't try to fight him.

He smirked as he ran his hand up the back of my leg. He let it stop at the back of my knee. "Why, Miss Jones. Still no knickers."

"No, Mr. Plainview. Not tonight." I smirked back at him. "Maybe the day of the Blessing Ceremony I shall wear some."

His face hardened. "Maybe you shouldn't." he continued to let his hand wonder up a little higher. He stopped on the outside of my thigh. "I quite like the feeling of bare skin." He spoke in a hushed tone.

I placed my hand his cheek and he quickly pressed his face into it. "Daniel if you don't stop this now, I know that I will end up in the bed in that cabin with you."

He nodded and withdrew his hand. I instantly missed the warmth. He quickly walked over to his horse and swung up on him. He made it seem so effortless.

He and I both turned our mounts towards town and we rode in a comfortable silence. It didn't take long for us to be back in town. He stopped his horse in front of the general store and dismounted.

"Miss Jones. This is the end of your ride. I shall put your horse up for you tonight. It is the least that I could do for all of your trouble." He held out his hand to assist me off of my horse.

I smiled at him and lowered myself off of the horse. "Thank you Daniel. I had fun tonight." I gave my mare a goodnight pat on the neck and turned to go inside of the store.

Mother was the only one still awake. She was sitting behind the counter working on an new apron. She looked up when I came in. "I am glad that you are home safe. I was beginning to worry when the men showed up and you didn't."

"Sorry mother. Daniel wasn't at the job site when I arrived. Fletcher asked me to let him know the lumber was in and then he insisted on accompanying me back to town. So I had to wait on him to saddle his steed and get ready." I answered her as I walked to the counter.

"Good. I am glad that he is smart enough to ride back into town with you. Not that I'm saying that you couldn't do it by yourself but it is so late at night and that is what a man should do." She sighed as she placed the last stitch in the apron pocket.

"Finally done." She laid the apron down on the counter. "That makes 8 aprons down and only 12 more to go."

I yawned loudly as I helped her fold the two that she had out.

"Come. Lets go to bed. There is nothing more that we need to do tonight." She wrapped her arm around my shoulder and led me to the staircase.

I followed her up the stairs and bid her a good night.

I went to my vanity to remove the pins out of my hairs. I could hear voices outside. I quietly went to my window and peeked out. Daniel was still at the yard behind the train station. The men has loaded up all of the lumber into the wagons and he was talking to Michael.

I watched as he remounted his horse and turned to head out of town. As he passed the store he gave a brief glance up to my window. I pulled the curtain back just a little so that he could see that I was there, but not enough to draw attention to anyone else.

He noticed and I was rewarded a small smile. My stomach did a flip and I smiled back, but he was gone before he could notice. I sighed and stepped back from my window and went back to sit at my vanity. I lit a candle and then pulled my boots off. When I was done with that I pulled the rest of the pins out of my hair and started to pull my brush through it.

My mind was wondering and finally it landed on thoughts of the blessing for the well and the celebration that was to follow. I smirked at the thought of Daniel dancing.

My mind wondered to thoughts of him dancing with me and holding me close. I tried to imagine what he would feel like and before I could stop myself I imagined what he would look like under his clothes.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard someone coming up the stairs. I could tell by the quick heavy footsteps that it was Michael. Not that there were to many other people that it could be.

I smirked when I heard the footsteps stop at my door. There was a quiet knock. "Are you awake?"

"Yes" I answered. I stood and crossed the room quietly.

"Are you dressed." He asked.

I pulled the door open. "What do you want?" I asked him even though I knew why he was here.

"So how did it go?" he asked quickly. He made sure to keep his voice down. "what happened? What did you do? Come on I deserve to know!" he begged me stepping into my room and shutting the door behind him.

"I went to the drill site first and Fletcher was there. I told him the lumber was in and he said that Daniel was up at the shack and he asked that on my way back to town if I could go let Daniel know that he was taking H.W. and some of the men into town to get the lumber. So that is what I did." As I spoke I went back to sit at the vanity. Slowly I braided my hair. I watched Michael's face in the mirror. He rolled his eyes and I smirked.

"Sure. Now can I have the rest of the details that you aren't planning on telling mom or your kids someday?" he crossed his arms as he sat there staring back at my reflection in the mirror.

"Fine. After I told him about the men he thanked me then he realized that I had ridden alone out there. He wasn't happy about that and let me know it but I was able to speak my piece. We bickered a little bit and he said something about scary things lurking in the dark and like an idiot I told him that he was the scariest thing out there." I laid my head on my vanity to avoid Michael's look.

I heard him snicker behind me. "Way to feed his ego. How did he take that?"

"He asked if I was afraid of him and I told him that it wasn't fear that I felt for him." I picked my head up off of my vanity.

He let out a laugh and quickly caught himself. "Are you out of your mind? That sounds like something Grandmother would have some up with. What did he do?" He chuckled.

"He turned to clay in my hands then he kissed me and then I might have kissed him." I ignored the mirror as I played with the hair pins on my vanity.

"I could tell by the way that Daniel was acting tonight that something had happened. His mood was so much better than it was this morning. Are you sure all you did was kiss?" he asked as he wagged his eyebrows at me.

I gasped, trying to keep my voice down. "Michael Jones!" I turned to punch him in the arm. " How dare you accuse me of such a thing?!"

He laughed again as he stood up. "I am just joking, my sister. I love you and I know that you wouldn't do such a thing. Get some rest tonight and I shall see you tomorrow. I will try to find a reason to send you out to the well site tomorrow." He winked as he placed a kiss on my forehead. He turned and left my room, pulling the door shut behind him and leaving me to my own thoughts.

I sighed and pulled the covers back on my bed. I crawled into it but I wasn't tired. My mind wouldn't let me sleep as it replayed the events from tonight over and over.

I tried to clear my mind of everything and think of nothing. But once again it went to thoughts of Daniel Plainview. I can only imagine what he looks like under those heavy clothes he wears. Part of me can't wait to find out while the other part of me doesn't want to find out at all.

Thoughts of him without clothes makes me flush and suddenly I feel very warm. Under the covers I shift and bring my legs up. The force of doing so pushes them together and I gasp. It felt good. Hesitantly I reach under the covers and pull my night gown up. I have never felt this way before. I have played with myself a few times but never have I felt like this.

The friction that my nightgown causes as I drag it up makes me want to moan but I keep it quiet. I close my eyes and imaging that it is Daniels hands pushing my nightgown higher and higher. The desire that had set me on fire a moment ago had settled deep in my stomach and continued to burn me to the point of madness.

Slowly I ran my fingers across my sex and I was set spiraling farther into madness. It felt so good. I pulled my blankets up to my face to cover my mouth. I clutched a handful of the covers to my mouth with one hand and with the other I continued to explore myself, the whole time thinking and wishing it was Daniel's hand. The fire continued to grow until it consumed me.

I grinned into the darkness of my room as I laid in the bliss of my thoughts. I straitened my nightgown under the covers and I straighten the covers. I closed my eyes exhausted and I let sleep consume me.
