“Stop making fun of me.”

Brina tried to shove her elbow back toward him but his arms tightened around her, confining her arms so that she couldn’t put any true strength into the motion.

“Why is it that men are expected to be experienced while a woman who is finds herself called horrible names? I know that is the way of the world, but the least ye might do is no’ tease me for being innocent.”

He blew out a soft sound near her ear. “Now why would ye deprive me of the enjoyment I gain from teasing ye, lass? This night promises to offer few other entertainments. But I was nae teasing ye because ye are innocent; that is a mark of honor for ye.”

“Ye mean it is what makes me valuable to ye.”

“Maybe, but ye should be a wee bit kinder toward the fact that I’m driven to taking a wife who has no rumors clinging to her skirts, because I want there to be no further question as to who is the rightful heir to the Lindsey clan.”

“I never said I had no compassion for yer plight. It is a just cause.” Her voice was low, and his hands smoothed along her arm, unleashing sensation that was enjoyable.

“I’ve seen bad times on Lindsey land, Brina. I’ll keep that from happening again if I can.”

His body curled around hers, and she decided that it was too hard to think about their conversation. Her heart hadn’t slowed down, and sleep was only a distant idea that wasn’t even interesting to her. She caught his hand and slid her fingers along his. He was warm, and his skin slightly rougher than her own, but that only struck her as right.

Maybe this would just be the best solution…

No one would believe that she was still pure now that she had passed so much time at Birch Stone. No matter what happened, no one would consider her innocent, even if she had a midwife swear to it. The world was run by men, and they would assume that Connor had claimed what he wanted from her.

So why not taste what she would be accused of having sampled?

“Thank ye for keeping yer promise.”

He nuzzled at her neck, a soft kiss making her lift her chin so that he had more of her skin to tease with his lips.

“Which promise, lass?”

“No’ to rape me.”

He was a good man, who had treated her better than she might have expected, when considering the circumstances.

He moved slowly, his hands rubbing gently along her body. He used the slowest of motions, but her head lifted sharply because she suddenly realized that she was exactly where he wanted her.

“Ye’re attempting to gentle me,” she said.

He made a soft sound of male amusement near her ear before one of his hands glided over the top of her hip. “Aye…” His hand continued onward, petting the length of her thigh before stopping at the limit of his reach. He then began to retrace the same path.
