Chapter Nineteen

Kenna woke slowly and stretched. It felt good to sleep in a bed again. She hadn't wanted to take Glenna's offer to sleep in the castle, but she hadn't been able to dissuade her. Glenna could be most persuasive.

At first Kenna hadn't wanted to leave the Druids and the stone circle, but knowing it was within walking distance from the castle had put her at ease.

The Druids she had met were just as she expected. They were almost ethereal and enchanting. Their magic flowed around them like the sea, strong and true. She couldn't wait to return to the stones and begin her learning.

Yet, there was one thing that dampened her spirits. Frang's leaving. She couldn't believe he had left and had intended to do so without saying anything to her.

The anger that she had worked so diligently to expel the night before swarmed her again. She shoved aside the blankets, swung her legs over the side of the bed and rose. She walked to the narrow window and looked out over the land.

Since she had arrived at MacInnes castle in the dead of night, she hadn't seen much of it and was eager to explore. Her gaze wandered over the rolling hills that surrounded the castle, the thick forest and a loch. Though she couldn't see it from her vantage point, she knew there was a cliff and a mountain to the side.

A knock sounded on her door interrupting her gazing. When she opened it she found a smiling Glenna standing before her. In the daylight, Glenna was even more beautiful with her brunette hair and golden brown eyes.

"Did you sleep well?"

"I did. I didn't realise just how much I missed sleeping in a bed until last night,” Kenna said with a laugh.

Kenna stepped to the side to allow Glenna inside, and that's when Kenna saw the servants behind her. She turned to look at Glenna.

"I thought you might like a bath,” Glenna said as she motioned the servants to set the large wooden tub before the hearth.

Kenna licked her lips in anticipation while watching bucket upon bucket of water being emptied in the tub. “Oh, aye. Very much so."

"Take your time,” Glenna said and walked to the door. “I'll be waiting for you in the great hall."

Kenna couldn't wait to be alone and sink into the tub. Steam rose from the water, beckoning her and her tired muscles. As soon as the last servant left her chamber, she shut the door and quickly discarded her clothes.

She stepped into the tub and sighed. As she lowered herself into the water, she began to unbraid her hair, letting the red strands leisurely float around her.

Her head leaned back against the tub as she let her muscles relax and her mind drift. Immediately she thought of Frang and his kisses, his soft lips and the way they felt against her skin. Her eyes closed as she recalled the way his mouth moved over hers and how his hands knew just where to touch her to bring her the most pleasure.
