Rosie Cotton ascended the Hill at a ladylike pace (and only skipped occasionally). A basket looped over one arm carried blackberries she'd picked that afternoon as well as a bit of fresh cream--a treat she hoped the young gardener at Bag End would appreciate after a hard day's work.

Instead of going in by the gate, she decided to give Sam a little surprise by sneaking in through a hole in the south side hedge. It had been giving Sam fits for the past month, trying to close it back up, but in this case she used it to her advantage.

But as soon as she poked her head through, she was the one who was surprised to see Sam finishing up putting his tools away--without any shirt on. And then, before she could even think of speaking up, he stripped off his trousers as well and turned to soak in the last rays of the sun in nothing but his unmentionables.

Rosie put a hand over her mouth to keep herself quiet. She didn't know what Sam would think if he caught her looking--but she didn't look away, either. Who could resist the sight of those broad shoulders and muscular arms, honed by years of dedication to his work. Or the allure of his soft belly and nicely padded behind. The Gaffer certainly knew how to grow them.

She continued to watch silently as he filled a bucket from the cistern and poured it over his head. She bit her lip and took a step back as he almost turned toward her. His wet underclothes no longer did a very good job hiding what wanted to be hidden. From what she could see, he was going to make some hobbit lass a very happy woman one day.

A tiny "eep" finally escaped her lips. Before she had to face Sam's reaction she hurried back down the path with soft and silent steps. His treat would have to wait for another day.
