Echoes of the Flute

A love between two very different men is put to the test. John Strobaw, a young mixed-blood, grows up in the relative security of a family farm after the Civil War. His mother raises her family as Americans, but his foster brother, Matthew Brandt feels his red blood more keenly and leaves to ride with Crazy Horse. John doesn’t understand the longing he feels for his absent companion until he has his first sexual experience with a man and he only thinks of Matthew. After the murder of Crazy Horse, Matthew makes his way back home. John fights hard against a growing lust for Matthew, but when he ultimately succumbs, he is lost to this handsome, dusky warrior. Just when the future looks bright, another suitor appears -- a handsome Cheyenne army scout, and trouble looms on the horizon.

Chapter 86

Wordlessly, I unscrewed the cap of my canteen and placed it in his hands. When he’d had his fill of water, he handed the vessel back. We froze as one of the guards stopped snoring and changed positions. It wasn’t until then that I realized the man was sitting against the other side of the wagon, supposedly guarding against my creeping up on them and slitting their throats.

Matthew put his lips to my ear. “Beloved.” I thrilled to the word and nodded against his hand cupping my neck. “Get me out.”

“No. I have a plan. You’ll have to endure it to Fort Robinson.” A violent shake of his head. “Have to,” I whispered. “Or be a fugitive. Trust me.” A pause and then a short nod.

I gave him a little pemmican to fortify the scant meal the soldiers had fed him before beginning the laborious process of returning to my camp.
