“You’re an amazing woman and deserve more than I can offer. I want you to be happy, Fallon. Some day, you’ll forgive me and meet someone who will stay by your side. Love and marriage are not in my future, but when the right man comes along, you will make a wonderful wife and mother.”

“I dinna think I will ever marry.” She sniffled.

“You will, Leannan, and when you do, you will be very happy and forget the heartache from the past. I dinna have to possess your gift of second sight to know this to be true.”

Bryce kissed her brow then lifted her into the saddle. “Best we are on our way, before I forget myself and take you here, on a bed of moss.” He stroked his finger across the back of her hand, then moved to his horse and mounted quickly.

The thought of making love to Bryce again caused her blood to heat and her heart to hammer in her chest. Nothing would make her happier, but she’d not beg for any man’s affection. Bryce had made it clear he was dedicated to the cause. If what Alasdair alluded to was true, he also harbored a painful secret from his past, one that she suspected made it impossible for him to fall in love.

They finished the last hour of their journey in silence and relief washed over her when they finally reached the outskirts of the village.

Bryce slowed his mount and leaned in the saddle toward her. “We need to be as discrete as possible. You never know who might be lurking in the shadows. I will escort you to the inn and make the arrangement before I leave. The less attention we draw the better.”

They approached The Skull and Bucket from the back. Bryce dismounted and helped her from her horse. “I’ll go inside and make sure everything is safe. Once I’ve spoken to Fergus, I’ll usher you in.” He kissed the tip of her nose and disappeared into the shadows.

Heart pounding, she huddled near some barrels, waiting for the signal from Bryce. Fear tugged at her gut. What if someone recognized him and he were arrested?
