Chapter 7

Everyone helped with the construction and the next part was building the rest of the rock and stonewalls to finish the first floor. We then put the second floor on which created the ceiling for the first floor. After adding the stairs we quickly built the walls and final roof. Since the second floor was above ground level we only used wood to make the outer walls and roof covering them with an adobe like plaster to help insulate against the cold. Bear Claw and Marge had decided that the first floor would be the greeting area and dining area. The second floor would be all of our bedrooms. The cave was still the kitchen and bathing area since the water came in there.

It had almost been a month now and we were all but done with the new cabin. Marge came for the last night she owed to me. This time she brought straps of leather and requested that I tie her to a wooden pole; all exposed and spread wide open for me to have my way with her the entire night. I knew it was not worth the effort to argue so I asked her how she wanted to be bound. The long rod was centered at the back of her neck and a leather strap was used to bind her neck to the rod. Her legs were pulled up next to her shoulders and her knees were bound to the wooden rod. Lastly her wrists were stretched outward to the end of the wooden pole and bound there. Leaving her completely open and exposed for my sexual pleasure.

She required me to take her mouth vagina and ass before she would allow me release her from the pole. We cuddled together after we had finished and drifted off to sleep. When we had completed the new cabin I felt it was time to make a trip to see William at the trading post.

Fifteen dollars was what it cost for the Sharps .50 caliber rifle on the wall behind William. It was very new and had its own tool to reload the cartridges it used. The cartridge took a cap on the end and was filled with powder then placed in the tool so the powder could be pressed down then the bullet was added and again the tool pressed the bullet snug into the neck of the cartridge you could carry it and it would not spill then just open the breach of the Sharps and slide the cartridge into place, close the breach, cock the hammer, aim and fire. Opening the breach removed the empty cartridge so you could put the next one in, and closing the breach cocked the hammer so it was ready to fire again! It was too good to be true, you could fire repeatedly as long as you had loaded cartridges and there were 25 with the package I bought.

I saw a smaller rifle below another Sharps, it looked slimmer and very different. There were also three pistols that looked like my Navy revolvers but did not have the loading handle under the barrel which caused me to ask about them. William explained that these new pistols were like the Sharps rifle, using a cartridge to shoot and load faster than even the Navy revolvers. I looked at them and found them to be a better fit in my hand. The barrels were about two inches shorter than the Navy revolver.

Two of these were .44 caliber and the other was a .32 caliber. What sold me was the Henry repeating rifle; it used the same cartridge as the new pistols William had four in the .45 caliber and two in the .32 caliber. The metal loop behind the trigger guard would pull downward and forward to eject the empty cartridge and load the next one leaving the hammer cocked ready to fire. Each held fifteen cartridges in a tube under the barrel. I bought all three pistols and two Henry rifles, one .32 caliber and one .45 caliber along with all the tools and equipment to reload and maintain the weapons. I also bought 100 cartridges for the .32 caliber and 250 for the .45 caliber. When all the dealing was done, it had cost me $112 but I still had money from the last trip left over, so I did not mind.

The ride back to the cabin was nice. Once back, I taught Bear Claw how to load and fire her .32 caliber revolver and Henry rifle. I had her carry both the .44 caliber Navy and the new .30 caliber revolver. I loaded all the cartridges and we both practiced with the new pistols and rifles. I reloaded all the cartridges we fired that night after we finished eating, while Bear Claw cleaned up the dishes.

My life was really getting interesting, I wonder what tomorrow will bring???
