The Following is the unedited excerpt from Akisni The Healer Chapter 35

Then she pointed to Jon. "Ba-che-i-saa."

Having no idea what she had said, he rose and gently caressed her face to reassure her. She looked up at him as she shrugged off her shirt and let it fall to the hard-packed earth of the cabin floor. Jon fumbled with his nightshirt until with her help, they both stood naked in the dim glow of the dying embers.

He ran his hands over her shoulders and down the backs of her arms, warming her against the creeping night chill. She came tentatively into his encircling arms until he felt the pressure of his arousal against her stomach. Feeling a bit of embarrassment, he sat down on the bed and enfolded her hands in his as he kissed each finger. As she slipped into the bed beside him, her long hair swept the faint scent of sweet grass across his face. He ran his hands up through the thick black cascade and slowly brought her face to his kiss. For a moment, she seemed unsure how to respond, then her lips parted and she returned his kiss as he felt her leg pass over him. He reached behind her knees and pulled her up into a kneeling position over himself. Her nipples lightly brushed the hair on his chest as she kissed him again and again, tentatively, softly at first, then with unrestrained passion through their mingled breath. She arched her back and her eyes grew wide as Jon felt his body enter hers. He cupped her breasts in his hands and felt her nipples harden against his palms. Then he pulled her down hard against himself and engulfed her slender body in his arms as all his loneliness and longing surfaced to a crescendo through the sweet, wordless rhythm of their lovemaking.
