Jake noted her blushes and the way her eyelids drooped. He noticed whenever anything prevented him from gazing into her beautiful eyes. But he also sensed that she was concealing something. As always, such behavior stirred his deepest curiosity.

“What is it?” he demanded. “Don’t keep things from me if you want my help with this. Relations between a man and his wife are ever a delicate subject that neither ought to share with a mere acquaintance, or indeed, with anyone else. I will admit, though, that your current situation is difficult.”

Looking remorseful, she said, “I do not mean to be difficult. It is just that I have felt things in my dreams that were most pleasurable. But—”

“You cannot be talking about that nightmare you suffered last night. Tell me about these other dreams.”

Her gaze dropped, and her flush deepened until it looked painful.

Annoyed with himself for such clumsiness, he said, “Never mind that. You were doubtless dreaming of your husband—”

“But I wasn’t. I’ve never dreamed about Niall.” Nibbling her lip in that tantalizing way she often did, she added, “In troth, I rarely recall my dreams. But I am sure…” Pausing, she looked up, and he detected a rueful twinkle in her eyes. “This is much more difficult than I thought it would be. Perhaps we should not—”

“Look here,” Jake blurted. “If you want me to explain what married people do in bed, I will. ’Tis plain that, although you may have some small knowledge of how two people couple to create a child, you are trying to discuss something of which you know next to nowt.”

“That is exactly how it is,” she said, relief strong in her voice.

Wishing one moment that he could shut the door against possible intrusion and hoping fervently the next that neither Ivor Mackintosh nor Fin Cameron would ever learn of this conversation…

With a near groan, he blinked away the image he’d stirred of the two teasing him mercilessly and collected his thoughts. Then, taking care to spare her sensibilities as much as he could by speaking frankly and drawing on what little she knew about the behavior of farm animals, he described the act of coupling.

When he finished, she gazed at him thoughtfully but silently until he began to wonder if she had understood.
