Chapter Twelve

“Are ye no’ hungry yet?” Skye rolled her eyes. How did Brodie have all this energy after his illness? All she wanted to do was eat and snuggle in his arms to fall asleep.

“Only for ye, love.” He rose up above her and nibbled at her neck. She gasped and then sighed as the tingle spread through her veins. They had lain together twice, and he showed no signs of slowing.

“I’m famished,” she pleaded, but craned to give him better access.

“Me, too. I’ve been starving for ye for far too long.”

He climbed on top of her and, taking her hands, pinned them above her head. Her chest started to flutter, and she could feel the familiar longing for him, but her stomach growled in protest. This time it was loud enough to catch his attention. He frowned as he let go of her wrists, but stayed braced on top of her.

“We will have to continue later. It’s getting dark, and we havenae left the bed all day,” she said.

“I never want to leave this bed again, love.” Grinding his pelvis into her hips, he smiled wickedly.

“I promise we can come back. I just need food. Ye do, too, if ye’ll admit it. Ye were just sick last night. Besides, I need to make ye Maggie’s tea.”

He groaned. “I dinnae like it. It’s tastes like dirty water.”

“If ye get sick again, ye willnae have the strength to make love to me,” she countered with a wry smile.

“Ye win this one, but we will no’ leave this house.”

She laughed. “The snow wouldnae let us if we tried.”

He rolled off her and kept his gaze fixed on her as she stood. She pulled her shift on quickly, not because of his scrutiny, but because she had not realized how cold it was. They had been warm all day in each other’s arms under the blankets, and she was now second guessing her request to leave it.

“Will ye get the fire going while I figure out what to make?”

“Aye, anything for ye, lass.” He rose, wrapping his plaid around his broad shoulders and walking over. Glancing out the window, he studied the scenery as if it was the first time he had seen it. Following her from the room, he stopped, moved into the spare bedroom, and glanced out that window, too.

She shivered—he was looking for threats. She was glad he was being vigilant, because she’d been so wrapped up in the pleasure of being with him, she’d forgotten about the men after her. Trusting him completely, she went to work in the kitchen.

Making a basic stew had been simple with potatoes she found in the cupboards and venison the Lochiel had left just outside in the cold. She added spices Maggie had sent and pulled out the bread that had been brought from the Kentillie kitchens. It was a perfect meal for two. Contentment washed over her as she realized cooking for just Brodie and herself had been calm and pleasant.
