A few hours later after they had made love, Harm handed Mac back her book. "Now ma'am I do believe that I held up my end of our deal, it's your turn now."
"Just what deal are you referring to Caption."
"Satisfying your womanly needs."
"Oh I see; well as I've pointed out. It's you and your Tomcats fault that I'm so horny right now."
Harm started to say something; till Mac shot him a look. "Now Captain, if you wish to hear more, I require food. I'll take a double beltway burger, loaded fries, chocolate milk shake and make sure to get lots of pickles. Oh! and a jar of hot sauce for my french fries."
Harm made a face just thinking about this combination of food his wife had just requested. "Are you sure you really want all this?"
"Oh! I'm very sure.. Now hop too Captain."
Harm extracted himself from bed, went and pulled out fresh clothes putting them on. "Mac.." She glanced up.. "Yes?"
Shacking his head. He just mumbled "Never mind." Turning around and heading out of their bedroom. Mac watched him leave, than quickly picked up her book. "Now little ones, back to the civil war."

Late in the Evening
MacKenzie Plantation
Atlanta GA 1865
After dinner had been eaten the men retired to the Parlor to discuss their Business agreement. Joe sent Sarah up to her bedroom. She wasn't in any mood to work on her needlepoint. So she poked her head out of her door, looking both ways she started down the hallway.
She jumped when Chloe opened up her door, "Sarah where are you going?"
"Just out for a walk, go back inside."
"You know what will happen if father catches you."
"Do not worry, I will be careful."
"Some how I doubt that very much."
"Please try and trust me."
"I will always trust you, you are my sister."
"Thank you." Sarah continued her way down the hallway, till she reached the stairs the led to the back side of the home. Sneaking down them, she went straight to the back door abs out of the house. She made her way over the barn to retrieve her horse Rosebud. Getting her saddled up, she mounted her and took off.
Union Base Camp
Outside of Atlanta 1865
Lt Rabb had settled in for the night, reading his book, when he was disturbed by the loud talking outside his tent. Sitting up his fetched his boots and jacket. Opening the tent flap he walked out and over to the guard on duty.
"Private what is going on here?" That was when Sarah walked forward, "Please Lt.."
Before she could say more; he reached for her hand pulling her past the guard. "Private she is fine to allow in."
"Yes Lt." Not turning her hand a loose he walked her over to his tent, he pushed back the flap allowing her space to enter, once she was inside he walked in behind her.
Sarah turned around, it now he saw the sadness in her beautiful brown eyes. Taking her face in his hands he looked deep into them. "My darling what is wrong?"
"Father he's...he's sold me.."
"He's what?"
"Sold me.." Sarah fell to the ground in tears. Harmon went to her taking her into his strong but loving arms. He placed loving kisses on her head.
"Darling how can he sell you?"
"He's arranged a Business deal between himself and a man named Mr Brumby. And sold me as his bride to be."
"His bride?"
"Yes... I do not wish to be this man's wife. He made me feel uncomfortable.Please you have to help me."
"How can I.." It was than he understood what she was asking him to do. "My darling I can not do that to you."
"Why? I thought you said you love me?"
"I do love you, that is why I can not take your innocence from you. Only your husband can do that."
"I want you; I want you. Please my Harmon!"

Present Day

Mac quickly placed her book back down when she heard the door open. "Mac your Prince is home."
"Still up here..."
Harm just chuckled; and made his way back up to the bedroom. He noticed that Mac had now put on one of his t-shirts, "Property of The Navy. Uhhh.."
"Well not the whole Navy; just one 6'4 Navy Captain. That is not giving me my food."
"That's because someone didn't ask nicely for it."
Smirking "I don't have to ask nicely, I'll just order the court to hand it over. If the court fails to do so..."
"Yes your honor; I'm aware of the power the court has over me."
Smiling she reached her hands out for her food. Harm handed both bags to her, and placed her drink on the nightstand. He started to head back downstairs. "Where are you going?"
"To grab my food so I can join you."
"Hurry back sailor." He wiggled his eye brows a and went to retrieve his food.
