Chapter 13

Bryce absorbed all the nuances of Kenzie’s facial expressions and body language—the wagging eyebrows and the smirk at her full lips. She was right pleased with the blow job she’d just given him, and well she should be. He’d feared for a few rapturous minutes the top of his head was going to lift off like one of those whirligig toys he’d had as a lad.

Once the initial twinkle faded from her eyes, a sadness took over, a soul-deep sadness that tore at his heart, for he kent he was the cause of it. She’d never once hurt him, but he’d hurt her over and over.

Maybe tonight shouldna be about sex. Maybe he should treat her like the jewel she was and save the sex for another time. How could he win her heart if all he paid attention to was her sexuality? There was more to this wonderful woman than what nature had placed between her legs.

He stood and reached for her hands to help her stand, as well. “Ye are a true wonderment, me future wife. The most generous person I have ever met. Except for a wee bit of temper, ye are damn near perfect.” He kissed away the scowl his remark about her irritability created on her luscious lips. “In years past, I have hurt ye, and yet ye treat me like I’m someone special.” He feathered kisses over her face, trying his best to be as gentle as possible. “Why dinna ye get ready for bed while I take a quick shower. Sometimes the odor of me bear remains after I shift back. I want to hold ye against me all night, so I need to smell me best.”

She nodded and started for the bedroom.

“Kenzie?”

She stopped and regarded him over her shoulder.

“Tonight, I have offered apologies, made many promises, spoken more words of love than I think I ever have before—and I have meant them all. My proposal came from two hearts who love and need ye, Colleen’s and mine. From this moment on, ye will be treasured like ye’ve never been before.”

“ʼTis a lot to take in all at once. I’m trying, but old insecurities surface.”

“I ken that. All I ask in return is that ye tell a wee lie.”

She made a step in his direction before her eyebrows dipped into a V. “I dinna lie.”

He lifted a shoulder. “Well, help me weave a story then. Colleen had this vision of how my proposal should go. I was to wear golden satin breeches and gold shoes with heels and buckles.”

A snort escaped Kenzie, which he chose to ignore.

“I was to toss a pillow on the floor”—he motioned to the pillow, still bearing the imprint of his knee—“which I did. But ʼtis the satin breeches and buckled heels I need help with.” He gave her his most disarming smile, hoping he could charm her into telling a wee fib.

“Och, so I’m not to tell her ye wore a pink towel around yer naked hips with yer pecker tenting it like a wee toad under a blanket?”

His hands grabbed her narrow waist.
