Chapter 14

Kat was still squirming and spitting mad when Simeon released her outside the door of the pub. He issued a crisp warning for her to stay put and ventured back inside to retrieve Ian. Someone tossed his jacket, and Simeon caught it easily in one hand.

She could feel the irritation radiating from him. Well, she was irritated too. The rush of the altercation was still affecting her. The vision of those women draped over Simeon was in her mind’s eye with such irritating clarity that Kat had no intention of calming down anytime soon.

They stood under the arched awning of the pub, scowling face to scowling face. Simeon tugged his ear thoughtfully, and Kat glared up at him. “I dinnae think laying a poor lass oot on the floor is in keepin’ with yer advice of blendin’ in.”

“Neither is you and my brother getting shit-faced in public! And I wouldn’t have had to lay her out if you hadn’t been… encouraging her,” Kat snapped and waved her hand in front of her.

“Is that whot ye ken, lass? I swear yer bonny eyes were shootin’ daggers at her the moment ye arrived.” Simeon was barely holding back a smile. He was absently pondering Katherine’s use of shite and face, but one look at her flushed cheeks and he was unable to contain himself any longer. Simeon broke into hearty laughter.

“What the hell do you find so funny?”

“I dinnae ever ken seein’ a lass fight with such skill a’fore, Katherine. And here I was kenning ye needed me protection. Had I known, I’d hae rushed to the aid o’ the other lass.”

Kat’s anger subsided a bit when she realized he was teasing her. Did his eyes have to sparkle like that when he spoke?

“Let’s be off, then,” Simeon said, adjusting Ian’s all but dead weight against him.

“In this downpour?” Kat pointed at the rain, falling steadily.

“Come. The walk will cool yer head, and I dinnae think ye will melt.” He tossed her his jacket, which she held over her head to shield against the rain. Without giving her a chance to argue, Simeon stepped out onto the street. The rain immediately soaked through his shirt, outlining his broad back, as he all but carried Ian.

Kat’s mind wandered, pondering what it would be like to make love to him in the rain. She would run her tongue all over his skin and taste the heat of him, wet and slippery. With an audible groan, she dashed through the puddles on the cobbled street to catch up.

Barely keeping up with his long strides, Kat side-stepped the deeper puddles. She stole a glance sideways at him. The rain didn’t seem to bother him at all, and he wasn’t even breathing hard, despite lugging Ian’s useless carcass. In fact, as they passed under the streetlights, his face briefly illuminated between the shadows of the night, she caught him smiling.

“What are you so happy about?” Kat grimaced as she sidestepped ankle-deep into a puddle. Figures. The split-second she took her eyes from where she was going.
