When Keir walked into the ladies’ parlor later with the other gentlemen, he ignored everyone. His presence in the room was immediate and overwhelming with his height and his power as he looked around. His eyes searched the room until he found Kaithria.

He walked straight towards her, ignoring the MacMelchon sisters as they stepped towards him. He headed unerringly to where Kaithria was standing in the crowded room, like an arrow to its target, like lightning to water, like a sword to its sheath.

Kaithria watched him coming towards her. Her eyes widened as her heart sped up. She saw the sisters, and then Agnes Gunn, take a step forward to intercept Keir, but he ignored them and kept coming. A trio of young ladies hurried forward, chattering his name. But again, he ignored them, not slowing his stride as his eyes stayed locked on Kaithria’s.

He seemed to grow in stature as anyone in his way parted to let the intimidating laird pass.

Keir walked silently to Kaithria. He stopped and looked down into her upturned face. His eyes roved hungrily over her silken, sun-kissed skin.

“Did he hurt ye?” he whispered as he went to raise his fingers to her cheek. He stopped. Lowering his hand. Satisfied at just this chance to be next to her, this close. “Cormag? Did he touch ye? Did he lay a hand on ye when ye fought him?”

“Nay,” she whispered hoarsely as her eyelashes fluttered and her lips trembled. She pressed herself to the wall behind her as she looked up at him.

“If we were alone I would kiss ye, me jewel,” he growled low in his throat, for her ears only. It sounded desperate, even to his ears. Filled with naked want.

Kaithria swallowed tightly. Her fingers clutched tightly behind her back to stop herself from touching his face, his lips, the cleft in his chin as she so wanted.

She had no right to this man.

Nothing to offer.

Nothing but her fear.

“I am tired. I should go to me bedchamber,” Kaithria said and started to push past him.

Keir stepped in front of her. Blocking her path.

“Consider yerself kissed. By me,” he whispered hoarsely. “Imagine my kiss when ye close yer eyes to fall asleep,” he said huskily. Keir smiled softly down at her startled eyes and stepped aside, sweeping his arm wide to let her pass. “Good night, my jewel, sleep sweet.”

Kaithria could barely walk through the room. Her cheeks were bright pink. She felt like he had indeed kissed her, in front of everyone.

Cat came forward and met her, linking her arm through Kaithria’s.

“Hold yer chin high, Kaithria,” Cat whispered. “All are watching, and ye have nothing to be embarrassed aboot!” she said as she haughtily eyed everyone they passed as they walked out of the room.

Kaithria’s only response was a quiet groan.

Cat was pleased, however, as Kaithria did not pull her arm away.

At least not until they were out of the room, that is.
