Chapter Eight

This time they left the cleared path that wandered around the estate and struck out into one of the grassy meadows. The sun was still high, but instead of intense heat, it gently warmed her back as they walked. Marco had taken her hand in his, and resting it there made her feel secure and wanted.

They walked in a comfortable silence, crossing the meadow at a leisurely pace, no hurry or urgency to get to their destination. The walk allowed Senna to clear her head and appreciate the beauty of this rugged land.

It was a land that had seen war, bloodshed. Millennia of people passed through, called it home. She couldn’t comprehend what it would have been like to be a Medina woman hundreds of years ago. Life was probably comfortable compared to most, but it must have been lonely in this large family stronghold. Could money save you from things like disease or poor nutrition? Roaming marauders? Religious persecution? Family duty? Probably not.

Marco’s family would have had it easier than most, but not even bags of gold can save a woman from a difficult childbirth or heal a child of a vicious disease. For his family to have survived and thrived for this long was a testament to their strength. A ripple of pride coursed through her. Their son was a part of this, and he would be a part of this family’s legacy going forward. How much more security did she need?

Her thoughts swirled chaotically. She had worked so hard to erase any feelings she had for Marco. Maybe that was the problem. Those feelings were back, and her body yearned for him.

Deep in thought, she suddenly collided with a solid wall of warm muscle.

“Easy there.” Marco wrapped his arm around her shoulder, steadying her in the process. Still lost in her thoughts, she looked up. The sun glinted in his dark hair. She liked the way he wore it now, a little longer, a little more casual. The wind picked up a few stray locks only to lay them back down in a sexier mussed arrangement, making him even more dashing.

She really, really wanted him to kiss her again. She stared at his face with his casual smile and mirthful eyes. She was speechless. Struck dumb. Her body strained to be even closer to him.

“What’s going on in that head of yours? It’s not like you to be quiet for this long.” His teasing grin snapped her out of her reverie.

“What? Nothing. Sorry.” She immediately tried to remove herself from his firm grasp, but he didn’t seem interested in letting her go just yet.

“I hope you were thinking of me.” His free hand cupped her jaw, lifting it slightly, ensuring she couldn’t turn away. She tried to keep her eyes lowered. One look in her eyes and he would see the truth. The truth that was increasingly difficult to contain. She would be vulnerable. But like magnets fighting an attraction before snapping in place, eventually he drew her eyes up to lock with his.
