WHAT the bloody hell?

Shona stared at Ewan’s retreating figure, pain ripping through her chest. How could he just walk away from her in such disgust? What had she done wrong? He’d seemed to enjoy their lovemaking—even when she’d made a wanton demand for him to thrust harder.

Glowering at his back, she refused to let him treat her like that. She marched forward, intent on telling him exactly how she felt. Inside the cottage, he’d re-pleated his plaid and was belting it at his hips. Her healer’s eye took in the bandages, pleased not to see any blood on the surface.

“Why did ye walk away from me?” She tried to keep the hurt from her voice.

Ewan swiped a hand over his face and shook his head again refusing to answer.

The stubborn mule.

“Why won’t ye answer me?” Her voice came out soft and confused. It wouldn’t do to show how angry his reaction had made her, how much it hurt, too.

“I’ve no right to ye, lass, and no place in being cross, but I am all the same.”

“Cross? Why should ye be angry?” She turned to glance out the door at the spot where they’d unleashed their passion. “What we did was… a sin, aye, but not unnatural.”

He gaped at her with exasperation that made her take a step back. The muscle in his jaw was clenched tight. He blew out a breath and shook his head again. “’Tis no matter. This was a mistake.”

Shona felt anger bubbling in her belly, hands coming to her hips, she stared hard at the warrior before her. “What was a mistake? Me saving your life or you touching me?”

He shrugged. “Maybe both. Ye should have left me.”

What felt like a fist socking her in the stomach took Shona’s breath away. A mistake. Since the moment she’d seen him fighting, this man had captivated her. She’d risked her life taking him back to her cottage. Had saved his life. Had laid her soul open and let him make love to her not once, but twice, and he claimed it was all a mistake?

Her mouth fell open in shock. The fever must still hold him captive despite him being able to walk around—and hold her up against a wall. That could be the only reason behind his odd behavior. Unless…

“I dinna believe ye.” Her words came out strong, funneling the anger that burned in her chest.

“What?” Ewan whipped around, torment crinkling the corners of his eyes and drawing his mouth down.

She took a step closer to him, and locked her eyes on his, seeing their pain-filled depths, and wishing he’d tell her what had him so shaken up.

Shona straightened, braced for his anger. “Ye’re the one lying now.”
