“So. Aslynn is Ava...” Nicholas was the first to speak after an hour into their journey back to Fenton lands. Idris had done little more than bow politely, and Alec had opened his mouth only for a split second before Ness glared daggers into him, and he’d settled for a polite greeting.

Ava had tried valiant to coax them into conversation, but Ness knew they were still trying to work through the idea that she’d conned them.

“Aye,” Ness grunted shortly.

“She ran away to keep from marrying ye.”

“Aye.”

“And nearly died at the hands of bandits.”

Did he really need to recount this? “Aye,” he said through gritted teeth.

“And then made a spectacle of herself with men at the inn…”

“That is enough,” Ness hissed.

Nicholas chuckled and shook his head. “At least she is not a waif. We all figured the Fentons would eat her alive,” he mused.

“No. She is no waif, but she still needs our protection. She lives with her head in the clouds, and I trust that ye and Alec and Idris will keep an eye on her until we are more settled. They will test her, and I doona know how she will react.”

“Ye should have left her here,” he said gruffly. “Her troublesome nature will get herself killed within a week, and how will her cousin react then?” Ness knew what he was thinking. They had enough problems without having to worry about a woman who knew nothing of hardship.

“How quickly ye forget that we spent two days with her before we knew who she was. That on a whim, she decided it was a good idea to ride unchaperoned out into the world. Now that two clans know the identity of the King’s cousin, it is not safe for her out there. She is yer mistress, and ye will treat her as such.” Ness was defending her even though he feared the same thing. Not that the King would be displeased but that Ava would lose her life because he could not protect her.

“Besotted are ye?” Nicholas teased and immediately dropped back before Ness could shove him off the horse. He fell into silence and missed the easy banter that he shared with his men. Ava’s deception had caused tension between them. They were all feeling the affects of being duped, and they didn’t know how to react around her. Ness had made it clear that she was their mistress, and they were to respect her. Because they didn’t want to say the wrong thing, they’d chosen to be sullen and petulant instead.

Close to dusk, they made camp. As his men gathered the firewood, Ness erected the tent for Ava and noticed that she was helping but struggling to walk. Cursing himself for not thinking of her when he set the pace, he finished the tent and beckoned to her. “Come. Sit. We’ll bring ye some food.”

“I have been sitting all day,” she said shortly as she struggled to undo the straps on her saddle. “I need to move around.
