Chapter Twenty-Five

“I love the way you kiss.” Brooklynn sighed.

She reached up and touched his lips with the tips of her fingers, running them over his upper lip and then over the bottom one. She gasped when he suddenly opened his mouth and captured one finger, sucking it in as he stared into her eyes.

Brooklynn melted as he took each finger into his mouth, sucking each one in turn. He placed her hand at the back of his neck. Lowering his head, he took her mouth in a long, slow, wet kiss that left her breathless, her head spinning as if she had been drinking sweet champagne all night. Throwing caution into the wind, ignoring the little voice in her head that told her to slow down, she let passion and need decide for her. Opening her mouth to his sensual exploration felt as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Her hunger was so great she didn’t know how to deal with it.

Donovan jerked up his head and the look on his face sent a tingle of apprehension down Brooklynn’s spine and raised the hairs on the back of her neck. His passion-hazed eyes cleared and he was suddenly alert as he turned his head as if to listen.

Brooklynn whimpered in denial as he pulled away. “Oh god, Donovan! You’re not going to stop again, are you? What—?”

His hand covered her mouth and Donovan lowered his head to place a tender kiss on her lobe before he whispered at her ear.

“Shhh, lass. Keep still. Do you hear anything?”

They lay quietly for a few moments, limbs entangled in an embrace that looked loving and impassioned, but in reality they were both straining to listen for anything out of the ordinary.

Brooklynn was baffled. She hadn’t heard a thing. She was about to ask him if he was sure he had when suddenly he moved. In one fluid motion, Donovan was on his feet and pulling her up with him before she could think to protest.

“Put this on and be quick about it.” He grabbed her shift from the back of a chair by the fire and tossed it at her.

As Brooklynn dressed, she watched Donovan cross the room to a single cupboard standing against the wall. He threw back the rag rug on the floor to reveal a hidden trapdoor. When he lifted the door, it disclosed a dark crawlspace that had been dug beneath the croft.

“The tunnel leads from beneath the croft at the back. Follow it with care. When you reach the end, stop and determine if it is safe. Only then will you exit the tunnel and make straight to the tallest pine tree below the croft. Wait for me there. Whatever happens, do not come back inside. I will find you. Now go.”

He started to push her toward the edge of the dark hole. But Brooklynn refused to budge. She dug in her heels and held on to his arm.

“Now just wait a minute.” She glanced down into the dark hole and could only imagine what creepy-crawlies were down there.
