Chapter Twenty-Three

Caralyn couldn’t sleep. Robbie had her cocooned in his warm embrace on the cold ground, and for some unknown reason, she enjoyed listening to his rhythmic breathing. She had to admit that sleeping with him like this was probably one of her greatest pleasures. Who would have guessed sleeping with a man could be so enjoyable? Aye, she had detected his occasional erection, but she did her best not to inflame him and he had kept his word about not pursuing sex.

Every day she spent with Captain Robbie Grant made her love him even more. She loved riding so close to him, talking to him, and listening to him talk about his clan. He was a proud man who loved his family dearly, and he would do anything for them. His smile could light up the world and her heart as well. She didn’t think she would ever find another man she cared for as much as Robbie.

In fact, naught would make her happier than to marry Robbie Grant. But she knew it could never happen with her background. Could she live with him as his mistress? Did he want her that much or did he have another waiting for him?

The closer they came to his home, the more nervous she grew. She had so many questions. Were her girls safe and unhurt? Where would they go once they arrived? She didn’t know what Robbie planned for her and her daughters. They would have to stay in the Highlands, but where?

“Are you excited about seeing your lassies again?” A soft whisper tickled her ear and she smiled.

“Aye, but I am nervous.” The Grants sounded so wonderful, her girls would probably never want to leave, especially after the hard life they’d endured. They deserved happiness for a change, instead of going hungry and dealing with rude men.

“Why? Trust me that Logan got them there ahead of us safely.”

She rolled onto her back and stared up at the stars through the treetops. “What if they prefer living with your clan than living with me?” She gazed at him, hoping he understood the severity of her concern. “My girls have never had the opportunity to play with other bairns. They will never want to leave.”

“Playing with others and loving and missing their mama are two different things. They are probably just as anxious to see you as you are to see them.” His thumb brushed her cheek. “Trust me, I have two wee nephews who love to play and battle with all the warriors, but when they want their mama, there is no substitute.”

“I thank you, Captain Robbie Grant, for all you have done for us. I can never repay you.” She leaned forward to kiss his lips.

Robbie pulled back and she stared at him in shock. “Lass, I don’t want your kisses if they are just to thank me. I only want them if they come from your heart and they are for me, not for my honorable actions.”

Caralyn thought for a moment and then nodded her head.
