He leaned over her until she could feel the ripple of each and every muscle. Tension whipped through his body and bled into hers. Then he let go of her hips and planted his hands on either side of her shoulders. She fell forward and he came with her, still thrusting deeply.A shudder rolled through him and then he stilled, deep inside her. He pulsed and warmth flooded her, easing his passage. She went slick around him and uttered a soft moan as he strained against her.Then he raised himself just enough that he pressed a gentle kiss to the center of her back.“Sleep now,” he whispered. “ ’Tis too early for you to rise yet.”He eased out of her and returned a moment later with a damp cloth and cleansed her. When he was done, he positioned her properly in the bed and tucked the heavy furs around her.She listened as he dressed in the dark. He added more logs to the fire and stoked it until the flames burned brightly. Then he quietly left the chamber, leaving her to sleep once more.She

“Such displays are never appropriate in front of my men,” Caleb continued in a strangled voice.Rachael turned once more and stepped forward to loosen the ties of his trews. “Aye, husband, I’m sure you’re right. No show of affection in front of others. ’Tis unseemly.”She reached inside and cupped his heavy sac, squeezing gently.“ ’Tis not just … What on earth are you about, wife?”She stroked up and down and then withdrew her hand. “I’m undressing you. ’Tis my duty, is it not?”“Well, aye, ’tis sometimes. But right now ’tis important we have this discussion.”“Oh, I agree. Do continue. Where were you? Ah yes, you said ’tis not just … ’Tis just not what?”He frowned and shook his head as her hand grazed over his chest and then began pulling at his tunic.“ ’Tis not just unseemly. ’Tis a matter of respect. The men’s respect for me. I cannot command their respect if I’m being tumbled to the ground by my wife.”He had mustered another grim scowl, but she tugged at his trews and freed hi

Sarah cast a look of exasperation in Gannon’s direction.“You said he didn’t take the news of the babe well,” Rachael said, bringing Sarah back to the matter at hand.“Now I didn’t say that,” Sarah began.“But he didn’t,” Rachael persisted.“I don’t rightly know what his reaction was. He ordered his man to make sure you didn’t rise from bed or leave the chamber and then he stomped down the hall.”“And you find nothing unusual about such a reaction to siring a child?” Rachael asked sarcastically.“Give the man time. ’Twas obvious was news he was unprepared for.”“I wasn’t any more prepared,” Rachael muttered.Sarah shook her head and muttered under her breath. She stood, shaking her head, and threw her arms up in agitation. “The two of you are dense. Why it should surprise either of you to find you are with child is a mystery to me. It’s not as if you haven’t worked hard enough at it.”“I wasn’t ready,” Rachael said defensively.“And you think a baby waits until his parents are ready?”

He rested his cheek on the top of her head and held her so tightly that she could scarcely breathe. He trembled against her, and it awed her that this fierce warrior had been afraid. For her. That he shook with it. It shamed her that she’d thought even for a moment that he didn’t want their child, even if it was a logical conclusion at the time.Now she wanted confirmation. She wanted to hear it from his own lips that he was joyous over her pregnancy.“So you’re happy about the baby?”Her question was muffled by his chest, but he went still and then slowly drew her away so that he looked down into her eyes.“Happy? I think happy is too mundane a word. There are many words that accurately describe my reaction. Wonder. Aye, wonder. ’Tis not something I’ve contemplated until recently, and even then I spoke as a man boasting to be boasting. It didn’t really settle with me that I would become a father until Sarah bore the news to me in the hallway. The image hit me with force enough to sta

Caleb frowned. “A Woods of course.”Scowls spread through the assembled clansmen and grumbles rose. Many turned their backs and walked away.Rachael slid her hand into Caleb’s. He could feel her tremble. He squeezed to reassure her.“I’ll not tolerate disrespect toward my wife,” he said tightly.“ ’Tis not Rachael we disrespect,” one hollered up before also turning away.Caleb’s nostrils flared as he viewed the dismay on Rachael’s face. He’d had enough of his new clan and their animosity. ’Twas as if they wanted to be conquered and destroyed. He’d never been so sorely tempted to take his wife and return to Woods lands and let the lot of them rot.It was time to take a much harder line. He’d coddled them too long. They’d either come around or they’d leave.Some of the joy had dimmed from Rachael’s eyes as she watched her clan turn their backs on her. She stared for a long moment before Caleb gently guided her back inside the keep.As soon as they walked in, Rachael tugged her hand from

Caleb paused in his training and looked up as if knowing he’d find Rachael there watching. A slight smile lifted his lips and he nodded his acknowledgment to her. It gave her a ridiculous thrill every time he looked her way. Even though she despaired of the fact that he was oversolicitous, at the same time, she took great joy in the fact that he was so mindful of her well-being.He may not admit that he had any soft feelings for her, but ’twas obvious he hadn’t hardened his heart to her.“Soon you’ll give me the words I want, husband,” she whispered fiercely.“What’s that you say, lass?” Sarah asked.“ ’Tis nothing. I was but talking to myself.”“Come away. ’Tis starting to snow.”Rachael allowed Sarah to pull her back inside the keep and the two women walked down to the great hall so Rachael could warm herself by the fire.Despite Rachael’s earlier misgivings about learning the managing of the keep, after Caleb’s insistence that she remain inside, she had decided she needed something

For several long moments he continued his gentle caresses as he softened inside her. Impossibly, he wrapped one arm around her and put his other hand to the floor to push himself upward.He slipped from her body as he stood, but he continued to hold her as he turned toward the bed, the tub and the food forgotten.He laid her down and crawled into bed beside her, pulling her against his body. They sprawled there on the mattress, limbs tangled, arms thrown possessively over each other. He kissed her forehead and sighed in contentment. She savored the sound of a well-pleasured man and smiled her satisfaction.“I am unsure what warranted such affection from my wife, but do tell me so that I may do it again in the future,” he said lightly.She squeezed him and kissed the hollow of his neck. Then she toyed idly with his hair, suddenly possessed to want to know more of her husband.“What is it you write in your scrolls?”He drew away, seemingly surprised by the question. He looked faintly …

The afternoon was spent preserving the venison, but Rachael quickly discovered one unpleasant aspect of her condition. She hadn’t been plagued with any sickness thus far. Indeed, other than fatigue at the beginning, she’d enjoyed an unremarkable pregnancy so far. But as soon as she got close to the carcass of the stag, the smell of blood and raw meat made her stomach heave violently.She humiliated herself by retching into the snow, and try as she might she couldn’t rid herself of the odor that now seemed permanently implanted in her nostrils.Gannon gently led her away from where the women were working and took her through the snow to the far side of the courtyard where she could look upon the loch in the distance and breathe crisp, clean-smelling air.“ ’Tis humiliating,” Rachael muttered.Gannon smiled. “Nay, ’tis not an uncommon event for a woman in your condition. I think Lady Woods retched from the time she discovered her pregnancy to the time she delivered. Cormac and I were fo
