Her body responded, and no sooner did she press harder against him than he scooped her up and carried her to the bed.

As he climbed in with her, she said, "My shift… my robe… my maid will…"

"Hush," he said, positioning himself to couple with her and slipping a hand down between them to see if she was ready for him. "Do you think the servants do not know what we do?"

"But—"

"If it will discomfit you to have a maidservant find your clothes lying about in the morning, just think of it as more of what you deserve for needing lessons in obedience," he said as he entered her.

Meg heard his words but paid small heed to them, because the sensations racing through her body had taken command. He continued to tease her with his hands, his lips, and his rhythmic plunging until she feared she might soon explode.

Every movement of his or her own increased her pleasure. She sensed pending culmination, as if she were reaching unknown heights. They were feelings she had experienced the night before he'd left to ride to Elishaw, glorious feelings.

Both of them were breathing hard, he nearly gasping as the pace of his movements increased.

Then, with a moan of completion, he collapsed atop her and lay there, panting, replete. Her magnificent sensations collapsed with him.

She wanted to protest but was not sure that she should.

He eased off her, kissed her, and said, "We've much to do before I leave to attend the wardens' meeting. But I may have to depart again soon afterward, and I want to accomplish as much here as we can before then. So we'd better get up a bit earlier than usual these next few days."

She agreed with a small sigh, and the next thing she knew, he was asleep.

The next four days passed swiftly in a flurry of activity, because Walter put everyone to work, clearing, cleaning, scouring, polishing, repairing, and organizing.

Meg and Amalie learned much more about Raven's Law—more, Amalie said after a particularly long day as she collapsed onto cushions in the hall window embrasure, than she had ever wanted to know.

Meg enjoyed the activity. She enjoyed even more working alongside Walter and learning from him. She learned that he was stubborn and could be peremptory, that he liked doing things his own way or the way the Scotts had always done them, and that he would quickly stifle dispute. But she learned, too, that if she was tactful, he would listen. And several times, he had adopted her suggestions.
