Kimbery heard the bitterness in his voice, and it saddened her.

“This is my fault,” she admitted. “I should never have…” She sighed and sat on the bed, clutching her discarded kirtle modestly in front of her.

What she’d done was as reckless as mounting a wild horse. She should never have let him kiss her again. She definitely shouldn’t have taken off her clothes.

But she hadn’t wanted to stop. The pretense had rapidly taken on a life of its own. Lost in a fog of rapture, she’d wanted nothing more than to mate with this hulking, hungry, ferocious beast.

And until the moment she finally begged him to stop, she couldn’t remember why that would not be a good idea. He obviously wanted her. And she definitely wanted him. Every inch of her burned with yearning, from her breasts, grazing with delicious friction against his chest, to the place between her thighs, throbbing in white-hot demand.

Only at the instant that he pinned her against the wall, preparing to lay siege to her body, did she finally remember just who she was.

She wasn’t a common harlot, free to couple with whomever she wished.

The fact that he’d punched the wall hadn’t surprised her. She’d been raised with hot-tempered Vikings. She’d even put her own fist through a wall once or twice herself.

But now she had to explain, even if he didn’t want to hear it. She started again. “I should never have misled you.”

His chuckle was devoid of humor. He reached down to retrieve his shirt, using it to conceal his loins as he turned back to her. He was such a magnificent creature, she had a hard time focusing on what she meant to say next. And for one mad moment, she envisioned the next generation of great warriors she could make with such a man.

His scowl was colored with disappointment, anger, and something else—a sort of sad inevitability that said he should have expected as much.

She didn’t mean to tell him everything. She only meant to say what was necessary so she could make a clean escape.

But when she saw the tiny glimmer of hurt in his eyes, she found she cared what he thought of her. She didn’t want him to think that she didn’t desire him. Nor did she want him to believe she’d intentionally seduced him, only to abandon him. And because she was
