Busy — Cherie Denis

Gem has kept her parent's home fire burning for many years. Now she is old enough to pick a mate and the man she has chosen, Og, is too busy. She has done everything she can think of to entice him to her sleeping pallet, but he continues to be too busy. What Gem doesn't know is Og wants to mate with her and has been hunting for the best skins to offer to her father. Gem's father, Tog, is greedy and wants only the best skins before he will give his daughter away. Tog drags her to a different cave hoping to sell her there, but the man who offers for Gem is a poor hunter and Tog is offended when the skins he shows are tattered and torn. Will the skins Og presents to Tog be perfect enough to please the old man? Will Og always be too busy for Gem or will Gem win out in the end?
