Chapter 10

Victor and Ty placed the glowing hot rocks in the middle of the lodge. Victor then showed them where to undress and handed them each a towel. "Does Ty have to come in there with me?" Amy asked.

"Yes he does." Victor answered.

As they were about to enter into the lodge Victor again told them to drink the water and that he would yell when it was time to come out. Ty went in first because it was hard to see and he offered his hand to help Amy in and get seated. It was hot to say the least around 185 degrees F. They sat across from each other not saying a word or looking at each other as they undid their towels. Ty dunked his hand in a bucket of water and flicked it on the rocks and the intensity of the heat rose almost instantly. Ty was already sweating and when he looked at Amy he could see that she was sweating as bad as he was.

"Are you okay Amy?" he asked

"Why wouldn't I be" she snapped back at him. "I'm sorry Ty I didn't mean to snap at you." Amy told as he flicked more water on the rocks.

"This is only my first day Ty and look at me I haven't even been able to say a decent word to you all day." Amy told him as tears started to flow.

"It's okay Amy, now drink your water we still have to be in here for a few more minutes."

Amy did drink her bottle. "You hate me don't you Ty?"

Ty looked her in the eyes and said "No I don't I just don't understand how and why you let yourself be manipulated like that," and flicked more water on the stones.

Amy was so sweaty it was running into her eyes. She decided not to answer, instead she stood and turned her back to Ty and grabbed her towel to wipe her face with and placed it back down to sit on. Ty did the same but didn't turn. Amy eyed Ty's manhood as he stood there, then brought her eyes up to meet his. "I've dreamed of having you in me for many years Ty, I" was all she got out before Victor spoke up.

"Okay you two it's time to come out and get under the tank. Make sure you drench yourself real good with that cold water. We wouldn't want anyone getting sick around here." Victor told them. "When your done and dressed come up to the house, I'll meet you there."

Ty went out first and held the flap up for her and they both stood under the tank as Ty pulled the cord.

They both sucked in deep breaths as the shock between their hot sweating bodies and the cold mountain water took their breath away.

Amy tried to wrap her arms around herself for some kind of relief then started to laugh when she saw what happened to Ty. " Oh my god Ty, your dick was hanging almost to the top of your knees now I can barely see it." She told him laughing almost to the point of wetting herself.

Ty didn't move as Amy laughed and pointed. Instead he waited until she was done before he reacted. "Cold water does that to a man Amy just like cold water causes a womans nipple to get hard." He tells her as he reaches over and pinches her very hard and pointed nipples. "Lets get dressed okay."

Ty said as he handed Amy her towel.

When they reached the house Victor told them about the fax he had gotten from Lou. He told them not to worry that everything would be just fine. He had some more herbs and some vitamins for Amy to take. As Victor was getting some bottled water for the two of them he asked Amy how she liked the lodge.

"It was hot and I had no idea I could sweat that much."

"That is why I had you drink that much water , now here both of you drink up. You both are going to have to drink a lot more water than you are used to. You both will be going into the sweat lodge at least once a day and at different times of the day. I will also have you sweating other ways."

"What do you mean by that?" Amy asked

"Work my dear work. I have been gone for a few days and there are thing that need doing. You need to work your body to help it rid itself of those toxins and that will also help you keep you mind busy. What do you say we all go out and feed and water the horses. I'll show you Ty where things are and for the next few day you can take care of Spartan and Harley."

Amy wasn't very hungry at dinner and excused herself. She wanted to take a bath and sleep .When she had left Victor and Ty cleaned up the dishes and went on to the porch to chat. "Tonight will be the calm before the storm Ty."

"Yea I know Victor, my mother was into drugs and alcohol. I had to deal with this a lot when I was a kid. I never thought I'd have to deal with it with Amy though. I feel like I did with my mom Victor, I feel hopeless."

"Ty, Amy shared with me some of how this all started. First off try to look at what happened to Amy as I told her to do. I told her she is like Spartan when he came to Heartland. Both have been physically and mentally abused. I can help with the physical but as far as the mental part that will have to be, you. She told me you are upset with her and I can understand but like I told you earlier you must put that aside. I'm sure when you dealt with you moms problem you didn't always hold it over her head. She had been deceived by this man to the point he changed her mind set as to what was real. Think about it Ty. I'll make you a wager that if you told Amy before she left that her mind set within a couple of month would be her family and you had abandoned her she would probably of put Spartan up for collateral. You know how strong willed she is Ty. I believe if she had her passport in her possession she would of flown back before she started on those pills. You may not believe in spiritual things Ty but something or someone with very strong spiritual connections has worked on Amy's mind. Love is the only true way to win it back Ty, if she will let it in."

"What was that you said about her passport Victor?"

"She told me Ahmed took it from her right after she left here. He told her he would keep it safe for her. He didn't give it back to her until she went through customs in Paris to come home."

Some of the puzzle of Amy's behavior made sense to him now but she still had a lot more to answer for in his mind.
