CHAPTER 8

“Indeed you did,” she murmured.“So are you staying?”The hopeful expression on his face made her heart melt. She wrapped her arm around him and squeezed tight. “I can’t stay, Crispen. You must know that. There are men besides Duncan Cameron who would abduct me if they knew who I was.”Crispen’s face crinkled until his nose twitched. “Why?”“ ’Tis complicated,” she murmured. “I wish it were different, but Mother Serenity always told me we have to make the best with what we have.”“When will you leave and where will you go? Will I see you again?”Here she had to tread lightly. She couldn’t have Crispen running to his father with news of her departure. Now that she’d made the decision to leave on her own, she didn’t want the laird interfering with his demand to trust him. She nearly snorted at that notion. He might be able to command his clan to trust him, and she was sure it did, but a woman in her position couldn’t afford to trust anyone.“I don’t know yet. Departures takes planning.”

CHAPTER 9

The laird smirked back at her, his teeth glinting in the low moonlight. “For a lass determined to make her own way, you’ve done a poor job of it.”She sniffed. “That’s very uncharitable of you to say.”“It doesn’t make it any less true. Now if we’re done with this conversation, I suggest we return to the keep, preferably before my son vacates my chambers and goes to seek you out in yours. He seems to have a certain affinity for sleeping with you. I don’t like to imagine his reaction when he finds your bed empty.”Oh, that was simply unfair, and the laird well knew it. He was manipulating her emotions and striving to make her feel guilt for leaving Crispen. She frowned sharply at him to let him know of her displeasure, but he ignored her and took her arm in his strong fingers.She had no choice but to allow him to herd her back in the direction of the keep. He marched her around the stone skirt and through the courtyard where he paused to issue a sharp command to his guard that she was

CHAPTER 10

His fist came down on the table, and his entire body trembled with rage.“I made a vow on our father’s grave that I would not rest until our clan was restored to its full glory and that I would make Duncan Cameron pay for his crimes against us.”Caleb’s face went cold, and Edward could see the pain flare to light in his brother’s eyes. But he nodded, his lips set into a fine line. “In this we agree.”“Neamh Álainn lies to the north with only McDonald between us. If we form a strong alliance with him, we would control a vast portion of this region.”Excitement stirred in Edward’s veins as the plans of the last eight years came to life in his mind. Finally he saw a way to fulfill his vow to his father.“The lass is courageous and she’s fiercely protective of Crispen. She’d make him a fine mother, as well as the rest of the sons she’d bear me. In return, I’d give her my protection, and she’d never have to worry about Duncan Cameron again.”“It isn’t us you have to convince,” Alan said wi

CHAPTER 11

“My only duty is to your safety,” he said solemnly.She gave a disgruntled sigh. She was sure the laird’s men were every bit as thickheaded and stubborn as he was. It was probably a requirement.“Very well. By what name are you called?”“Gannon, my lady.”“Tell me, Gannon, are you my permanent watch guard?”“I share the duty with Cormac and Diormid. Next to his brothers, we are the laird’s most senior men.”She picked her way over the stones protruding from the ground as she made her way up the hillside toward the grazing sheep.“I can’t imagine that’s a duty any of you would welcome,” she said wryly.“ ’Tis an honor,” Gannon said gravely. “The laird’s confidence is great. He wouldn’t entrust the safety of the mistress of the keep to just any of his soldiers.”She stopped and whirled around, clamping her lips shut to prevent the shriek from escaping. “I am not the mistress of this keep!”“You will be in two days’ time, just as soon as the priest arrives.”She closed her eyes and shook

CHAPTER 12

But the second time? It was no coincidence, because this time he’d commanded her to open her mouth, and like a simpleton, she’d gaped her mouth open and let him slide height over hers.Just the memory had her shivering. It was …It was undignified. That’s what it was. And she’d tell him so if he ever tried to do it again.Feeling marginally better now that she had that matter squared away, she turned her thoughts to the pressing issue of marriage. Hers.It was true that the laird filled a lot of the criteria that she and Mother Serenity had come up with. He was undoubtedly strong. He seemed awfully possessive of those he considered under his protection. It was true he had a large army. One had only to look at the numbers in the courtyard and how hard they trained.The marriage would be equally, if not more, beneficial to him. Aye, she’d have his protection, and he had the might to defend a holding such as Neamh Álainn, but he gained wealth and land that was rivaled only by that of the

CHAPTER 13

When he pulled away, she was dazed and she stared at him in absolute confusion.“Ah, lass, what you do to me,” he whispered.She blinked rapidly as she attempted to gather herself. This was a time when she needed to be solemn and sage. Offer something about how their marriage would be strong and based on mutual respect.But none of those things would form in her mind. Quite simply, his kisses reduced her to a blithering idiot.“You don’t kiss the correct way,” she blurted out.Mortified that this was all she could manage to say, she closed her eyes and prepared herself for his censure.When she reopened them, all she saw was deep amusement. The man looked fair to laughing. Her eyes narrowed. It was obvious he needed instruction on the matter.“And what, pray tell, is the correct way?”“You must keep your mouth closed.”“I see.”She nodded to reinforce her statement. “Aye, there are no tongues involved in kissing. ’Tis undignified.”“Undignified?”Again she nodded. This was going bette

CHAPTER 14

He found her lips, so sweet and warm, and took his time as he ravaged her mouth. And, oh aye, he used his tongue.When he broke away, she glared ferociously up at him. He grinned and reached for her hand, pulling her against him as they turned to face his clan. Then he held her hand high in the air and presented her as the new mistress of the keep.The roar of his clan echoed so loudly in the hall that Mary winced. But she stood proudly beside him, a delighted smile curving her lips.One by one, his men came to kneel and offer their pledge to their new mistress. At first, Mary looked baffled by the show of loyalty. She twitched as if she would have liked to disappear through the flooring.Edward smiled as he watched her come to terms with her new position. She’d led a sequestered life. Now, for the first time, she was stepping into her destiny.When the last soldier bowed before Mary, Edward took her elbow to guide her toward the table where Gertie and the kitchen maids were busy sett

CHAPTER 15

Edward gave the battle cry and urged his horse down the hill. Around him, his men took up the cry and soon the valley echoed with the thunder of horses. The Woods descended like avenging hellfire, their savage cries enough to frighten the souls of the dead.After a faltering hesitation, when it wasn’t clear whether they meant to attack or run, Cameron’s men surged forward. divmet in a clash of swords at the bottom of the hill. Edward slashed through the first two men he encountered with a deft swing of his sword. He could see the surprise—and the fear—in the eyes of Cameron’s men. They hadn’t expected to encounter a fighting force such as Edward’s, and Edward derived unholy satisfaction from that fact.He glanced quickly to check on his men. He needn’t have worried. Caleb and Alan were cutting a swath through Cameron’s men while the rest of his soldiers dispatched their foes with expert speed and agility.Edward set his sights on Cameron, who still hadn’t dismounted his horse. He stoo

CHAPTER 16

Despite Edward’s intention to spare a moment to speak with Mary—he wasn’t entirely sure about what—the day passed in a blur of activity. He’d thought to gauge her mood and offer reassurance that Duncan Cameron’s men had been dispatched. Aye, she’d feel better and more secure, and she damn sure wouldn’t doubt his ability to protect her or his keep any longer.An incident with his men prevented Edward from dining with her, and by the time he trudged up the stairs to his chamber, he was tired, but at least he was clean after a dip in the loch.He nudged the door open to see that she was already abed, her soft, even breathing signaling her slumber. He started forward, intent on waking her, when he saw that once again, Crispen was snuggled against her. He sighed. Tomorrow he would make it a point to tell her that Crispen was to sleep in his own chambers across the hall.He never got the chance to make his point. From the moment Mary awoke, he never seemed to gain the opportunity to speak w

CHAPTER 17

He cupped one breast, palming it so the pale globe plumped upward. Her nipple contracted and beaded so tight that it sent tiny shards of lightning through her belly.Then he bent and flicked his tongue over the erect nub, and her knees promptly buckled. She landed on the bed with a soft bounce, and he chuckled lightly as he followed her down.With a gentle nudge, he had her on her back and he loomed over her, so big and strong. He stared so unabashedly at her nakedness that she reached for the covers, something, anything, to make her not feel so vulnerable.He stayed her hand with his, his gaze tender as he met hers. "Don’t cover yourself, lass. You’re an exquisite sight. Unrivaled by any woman I’ve ever seen.” He trailed a finger over the curve of her waist to her hip and then back up again until he rubbed over her taut nipples. “Your skin is as soft as the finest silk. And your breasts … they remind me of ripe melons just waiting to be tasted.”She tried to suck in air but her lungs
