“We cannot allow this,” James muttered.“Nay, we cannot,” Caleb agreed.“And what of Gregor? Where has he gone? Where does his loyalty lie?” Simon asked.Caleb turned his gaze on the older man. “That I do not know. He disappeared with many McDonald men. He was not content with the king’s decree. We must be wary, not only of Cameron but of Gregor as well. He may well try to take back what he believes is rightfully his.”“We should have voted him out long since,” Simon said grimly. “ ’Tis as much our fault. Aye, he was a poor laird and he did much damage to our clan, but we allowed it and we must answer to God for our sins.”“ ’Tis not too late to right the wrongs of the past,” Caleb said. “Once we have provided food for our clan, we must turn our focus to strengthening our men. We must send a message to our enemies. We are not an easy conquest.”Simon leaned back and stared intently at Caleb. “ ’Tis the first time you’ve called it your clan, Laird.”Caleb’s brows came together. “So it

“He must think you a fool,” Gannon said in disgust.“It matters naught what he thinks. What matters is what he will know when my sword slides through his heart.”“I think you may have to fight your brothers for that honor. He has brought much harm to Mary and Keeley.”“And Rachael,” Caleb said. “He thinks to weaken us through our women.”“ ’Tis not much mark of a man when he wages war against those weaker than himself.”“I want you to send word to Edward and tell him what has happened. Tell him there are new threats against his wife and daughter and that Cameron has escalated his attacks. Then I want you to put men on an around-the-clock watch. I want someone watching all approaches to the keep at all times. I want you working with the men immediately. They’re going to train and train hard. They should have plenty of motivation now if they had none before.”Gannon nodded and started down the hall.“Tell Sarah to bring up water and broth for Rachael,” he called after Gannon.Gannon hel

A garbled sound of rage roared from her throat. She looked as though she wanted to clench her fingers around her hair and pull.“Nay, you shouldn’t have protected me better, husband. What you should have done was allowed me to protect myself!”“You’re not making sense, lass. Calm down. Let’s go inside. You should be above stairs in your chamber.”“Do you know what had just happened before those men attacked me?” she asked, ignoring his suggestion to return indoors. “I’ll tell you what happened. My sword had just been taken by Hugh because he said he didn’t want me to be harmed and ’twas not a womanly thing to be wielding a sword. He warned the other men that any who engaged me in swordplay would answer to him.”She advanced on Caleb and poked a finger into his chest. “If I had my sword, those men would have never gotten close to me. They wouldn’t have shoved me to the snow. They wouldn’t have touched me. They wouldn’t have hit me.”Ah, but the lass had worked herself into a fit of rag

“Rachael?”He pulled away and tipped her chin up so that he could look into her eyes. The candles he’d left burning provided just enough light that she could see his grim expression and the determination in his eyes to uncover her secrets.She sighed and looked away. “You know what kind of man my father was. And that when my father tried to force himself on Keeley, my mother made her an outcast. She was my cousin. And Keeley wasn’t the only young lass my father targeted. I knew of his evil from a very young age and I always feared …”She sucked in a deep breath and looked back at Caleb. “All I could think was what if he turned his attention to me? If he could do such a thing to his niece, what would it matter if I was his daughter?“I grew breasts at a young age. I had a pleasing shape that I knew men liked to look at. So I began to hide my attributes and make myself look more like a lad than a woman. And I learned to wield a sword because I swore if my father ever tried to force hims

Sarah nodded and hurried away once more.An hour later, Caleb strode back into the hall and searched out Rachael. His eyes widened and the glint of approval warmed her to her toes.“They’re riding to our gate now. Gannon and I will go out to greet them. You stay inside where it’s warm.”She smiled up at him and then nodded.Caleb sniffed the air appreciatively and then glanced around the hall. Then he leaned in and brushed his mouth over her temple. “Thank you for making my brother and his wife welcome.”An odd flutter began in her belly and worked its way up to her throat as he walked away.“Warm some cider in case Lady Woods would like a hot drink by the fire,” Rachael said to Sarah. “And have ale ready to pour for the men.”Rachael paced back and forth as she waited for Caleb to return with his guests. She’d never suffered such unease when she and her father had traveled to Woods land. But she hadn’t cared about impressing them. Such was not the case now. They were coming to her ke

Not awaiting his answer—’twas needless after all—she slowly got to her feet and then backed away a pace so that the warmth from the fire flickered over her skin.Hiding her smile, she turned until her back was presented to him and then she began untying the sash at her waist. She glanced over her shoulder to find him watching her with avid fascination.“I have need of your help, husband.”His hands shook against her nape as he unfastened her dress. When he’d undone enough that she could step from the folds of the material, she let it fall to the floor so that she stood in only her undergown.Turning so that she faced him once more, she reached up and threaded her fingers underneath the straps over her shoulders. Then she hesitated before pulling ever so slowly until they eased over her shoulders and down her arms.The neckline caught at her breasts but with a gentle tug, it slid over her nipples and fell into a pool at her feet.“Now shall I attend you, husband?”“Oh aye, wife. Aye, i

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
