The girl's mouth nearly fell open when the woman stuck up for her, but she shut it quickly.  After all, it was supposed to be true.  The woman knew it wasn't, though, and for a moment the girl wanted to run and hug for her kindness, if she hadn't been pretending not to be surprised.  And if she hadn't been tied.<br/><br/>But inevitably, the man started to explain his actions, and she tensed, waiting for the woman to retract her orders.  It was one thing to be nice to a runaway.  Quite something else to do it for a horse thief.  "Thank you, Ma'am," she said, getting it out as fast as possible before the woman changed her mind.<br/><br/>Suddenly her arms were yanked up, and a yelp escaped before she could catch it.  She nearly fell forward, but the man's strong grasp held her, twisting her shoulders painfully as he did.  "I really wasn't trying to do anything with your horse," she said, trying to sound innocent one more time.  "I'm really sorry about all of it."  She took a half step as far to the side as her position would allow, giving him as much of a view of her breasts as her tight dress would allow, and wiggling her ass as much as she could in the process.  It couldn't hurt, especially if the woman's kindness ran dry.
