afraid at all. She smiled at him, raising her hand in welcome before turning back to work on the roof uncaring that a Lakota brave was watching her.
    Maikoda pulled back into the woods when he heard the dogs bark. He had not seen them so they must have been in front. He would remain close should the woman need help. He wanted to know more about her.
     

 
    Chapter 5
    Jake was wheezing by the time he got to the big house. He was in shock. How could a kid as young as Indy get a naked woman to fix his roof? Hell, how could a kid as young as Indy get a naked woman as beautiful as that? Jake might be an old man but he was still a man. He had to let the boss men know what was happening because if the other men were to go down to the cabin and see that there was a naked woman on the roof, they just might tear it down to get to her. Women were few and far between, especially ones as beautiful as the one working on Indy’s roof.
    Opening the back door to the kitchen, Jake tried to draw in a deep enough breath so he could talk coherently. His heart was hammering and all he could do was wheeze as he drew air into his heaving chest. He open ed and closed his mouth like a fish out of water but he was still having trouble getting anything out.
    Jonathan stood up as Jake burst through the back door. “Boss…. Boss man….” Jake gasped, trying to breathe.
    “ Shit. What happened to you?” Jonathan asked in concern as he pushed Jake into the chair he had just left.
    “ It’s the kid,” Jake began, wiping at the sweat running down his face with a trembling hand.
    “ What about the kid? Did he take off? Did he get hurt working on the cabin?” Jonathan demanded in aggravation.
    “ No, no, the kid….” Jake tried to speak looking a little frantically between the two brothers.
    He nodded his head in thanks to Wally when he handed him a cup of water. He took a deep drink of it to help with his parched throat before he set the cup down on the table with unsteady hands. He looked back and forth between his two bosses trying to think how to describe what he had seen.
    “ Well, speak up. What did the kid do?” Jacob asked impatiently.
    “ He’s got a naked woman up on his roof fixing it,” Jake finally choked out in awe.
    “ He’s got a what?!” Jonathan and Jacob exclaimed at the same time in disbelief.
    “ I’m telling you. The kid has a naked woman, a beautiful naked woman, up on the roof of his cabin fixing it. I’ve never in my life seen a woman more beautiful with hair the color of ripe wheat and legs that go on forever.” Jake suddenly looked like a kid who had just discovered he was getting everything he had ever wanted for Christmas.
    “ Damn, I have to see this!” Jacob exclaimed looking up at his brother. “I need to get dressed. I’ll meet you out front in two minutes. Get the horses,” he said with a grin. “I’ve also got to meet this kid. Hell, a naked woman fixing his roof. Shit!” He added as he jumped up out of his chair.
    Jacob grabbed the towel that almost fell off and took the stairs to his room two at a time. He pulled on his pants and grabbed a shirt. He almost fell on his face as he tried to get his socks on before taking the stairs back down as fast as he could. By the time he got out the front door, Jonathan had a wagon that one of the men had just brought in turned around and ready to go. The man driving barely had time to jump down before Jonathan climbed over him and grabbed the reins. Jacob hopped as he slid his foot into his boot. He was still buttoning his shirt as Jonathan called out to the mules to move it. Jake hung on in the back for dear life as the mules move out at a fast trot.

    Indy had just finished hammering in the last of the shingles on the roof in relief. She cranked up the volume up on the iPod for one of her favorite songs as she finished up the last row. Standing up and giving a high five to the sky, she didn’t hear the dogs bark out a welcome to her visitors
