They didn’t dress or eat until noon. They snuck outside when the rain grew light to see to their personal needs and hurried back in to sit before the fire.

Duncan was content with the silence between them, talk seemed unnecessary at the moment. It was nice just being able to share the quietude after weeks of trying to survive.

Mercy interrupted the silence with a sigh. “I wish it could always be this peaceful.”

“We will have many more such moments,” he said, for he had no intentions of losing her. Life simply would not be the same without her.

“You always sound so confident.”

“Because I am,” he boasted with a smile.

“Then I should simply believe you?” she asked.

He heard the urgency of hope in her voice and he wanted to reassure her. “If you do nothing else, Mercy, believe in me. I will be there for you.”

She laid her head on his shoulder. “I have since the start.”

He hugged her and they said no more. They sat and listened to the fire crackling in the hearth, each lost in their own thoughts. Good or bad, it didn’t matter, for right now they had each other.

The rain grew in intensity again and the wind whipped at the cottage, but they remained safe and protected inside. When night fell and supper was done they undressed each other and drifted into each others’ arms.

They took their time exploring and enticing until their passion demanded satisfaction and they joined together as one. They held tight to one another as waves of pleasure simultaneously racked their bodies.

They slept then, though Duncan woke in the middle of the night with such an aching need for her that he couldn’t resist touching her. She responded, in her sleep at first, and then woke as he slipped into her and she accepted him, her own body aching with need.

Surprisingly, they woke early the next morning and weren’t too pleased to see the sun rise bright and the day clear. There would be no reason to delay their journey any longer. And the thought angered Duncan.

He mumbled and groaned and began snatching the food off the blanket and shoving it in the sack.

“Tempermental today?” Mercy snapped.

“You sound the same yourself,” he accused.

“I suppose it’s contagious.”

“Oh, it’s my fault now?”

“You’ve been a grouch since you woke,” she said.

“So what if I have?”

“So I don’t like it.”

“Well, you can’t like everything,” he snapped.

“I like everything about you.”

He stared at her as she drifted closer.

Her delicate hand reached out and slipped inside his shirt to rest against his naked chest.

“I like the feel of you and I like the taste of you.”

She nuzzled her face in the opening of his shirt and kissed his chest before drifting over to his nipple and teasing it with her tongue.

He groaned.

She looked up at him as her hand moved down under his plaid and grabbed hold of him. “But I especially like when you’re inside me.”

That was it. He grabbed her around the waist and swung her up, her legs instantly wrapped around his middle.
