“I have heard a most interesting rumor.” Cullen was in full teasing form. Brodick rolled his eyes. He was more interested in finding his wife, but that only made him grimace. Enjoying her was one thing. No man needed to be drawn to a woman when there was work to be done.

Cullen smirked. “It seems yer wife spent the day in the kitchen.”

“Doing what?”

“Ye sound mighty suspicious for a man who had his doubts about his bride’s purity proven so recently.”

“Dinnae play with me, Brother. Someday soon ye’ll marry and I’ve a fine memory.”

A hint of contriteness covered Cullen’s face. “Och well, I forget that ye cannae stand for a wee bit o’ teasing. Ye buckle like a moist reed.”

“Cullen…”

His sibling grinned. “Ye’ll know soon enough. She cooked yer supper. I hope yer stomach is stronger than yer tolerance to jesting.”

Brodick turned his attention to the table, fearing what he might see. Attending court didn’t teach a woman how to turn a loaf of bread. But as mistress of the house, his wife could do whatever she pleased in the kitchen. None of the staff would argue with her, even if they knew she was incorrect.

“I have nae seen you so pale since Father caught ye with yer first woman.”

His brother laughed at him, his voice echoing down the supper table. The food there looked wholesome and normal enough to his eye. But it was taste that mattered.

“You will nae be so smug if she laced supper with foxglove.”

“Still so ready to tell me that you will not doubt me at every opportunity, my lord?”

He flushed, the soft voice reprimanding him better than any slap might have. He was being a brute, even if he had been verbally sparring with his brother.

“I meant that for my brother, nae you.”

She paused, sweeping the men at the table with her gaze. Her lips set into a tight line.

“I see, my lord.” Her voice was tight as she added his title.

His wife passed him. A large meat pie in her hands. Steam rose from it, spreading the scent of spices in the air. The men at the table watched them intently. His wife set the pie down. She cut into it with a knife, letting a cloud of steam loose.

“I suppose it is a good thing that I understand how you prefer to have matters settled between us.” She dished up a hearty slice and presented it to him. Her gaze was steady, the plate unwavering. Challenge shone from her eyes, sending heat down his body. Need prickled along his skin, her stance sparking more lust to fill his cock. The organ twitched, swelling to stand up beneath his kilt. She lifted one eyebrow.

“I thought you said your words were for Cullen. Do you suspect me of foul play?”

The conversations near them died abruptly, his men casting worried looks at them. With a frown, she broke off a chunk of pie. She tossed it into her mouth without a thought, chewing and swallowing it quickly.
