“You’ve changed!” Sean exclaimed, and for the

first time that day, his voice rose above a whisper.

“You hated those two seasons in England… El e

would never leave Ireland!” He paused, but whether it

was because of the exertion of speaking so rapidly

and angrily, or because he had said al he intended to,

Eleanor did not know.

“I don’t want to leave Adare,” she cried.

“Then don’t!” he returned, his voice rougher than

before. He coughed and seemed frustrated that his

voice had begun to fail him. “Does he…know…that

you can shoot…antlers off…a buck…moving…in the

woods?”

She shook her head, dismayed. “Sean, do not

say any more. I see that it hurts you to speak so

much.” His voice was getting lower and more

inaudible with every word he spoke. She was on her

feet, reaching for him.

But he shook his head furiously. “Has he…seen

you…dressed…like a man?” he demanded, tripping

over his words now. His voice was dripping sarcasm

as wel as fury. “Breeches! Boots! Knotted belt!”

“Sean, stop!”

He fisted his hands on his hips, and his

expression was no different from a triumphant attorney

resting his case before the King’s Bench.

“Why are you doing this?” she begged.

“Where the hel …is El e?” he rasped coldly.

She shook her head in denial. “I am right here.

Yes, I have changed—I am a woman now. You had no

right watching me kiss Peter! You disappear for four

years and then come back and spy on me? And now

you think to leave again— without me? ”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

She went to strike him with her open hand.

He caught her wrist before she could make

contact.

She was already breathless. She hadn’t meant to

strike him; he was hurt, he was losing his voice by the

second, and she loved him. But he had been

badgering her so cruel y about Peter—and Peter was

irrelevant to them now! She wanted to tel him al of

that, but as she started to speak, her own voice failed.

She saw as she looked into his eyes that they

were blazing. And the moment she saw the light there,

she realized it was not anger but jealousy he felt. He

hadn’t let her wrist go. In fact, in seizing her, he had

pul ed her forward and her thighs were now pressed

against his legs. Her heart had been speeding

uncontrol ably but now it skipped, wildly, as she

realized how hard his muscular thighs were. Hard…

and male. Not intentional y, but as if she were a skil ed

and male. Not intentional y, but as if she were a skil ed

and practiced courtesan, she shifted her weight and

her breasts brushed his chest. And she became so

hol ow she thought she might explode into a thousand

pieces if he pul ed her forward another inch.

He went utterly stil , except for his harsh

breathing. And in that moment she realized that she

would give anything to be in Sean’s arms—and his

bed—making love to him, wildly, passionately, with no

inhibition,

touching

his

hard,

scarred

body

everywhere, and letting him touch and caress her in

return. And he knew; his eyes widened, and then his

gaze veered to her mouth.

She was a woman now. He had seen her kissing

Peter—he had to know she had grown up. He was

looking at her as if he knew.
