Now what was she supposed to do?

They rode in silence, and Melissa had no idea whether the silence was comfortable or not.

She sure didn’t feel comfortable.

She felt hot, sweaty, and anxious. Unsure of herself and the rollercoaster in her head and her stomach.

Wanting to hold on tighter and wanting to let go and never put her arms around him again.

It didn’t make sense. None of it did. Now that she’d kissed him—or been kissed by him—she wanted nothing more. She held onto him with deeper awareness, a sense of intimacy that hadn’t been there before. Her skin flushed at the memory of his touch, his lips, the way his breathing changed when she was in his arms.

He’d killed for her.

She closed her eyes, touching her forehead to his back for just a second.

“Are ye unwell?” he asked, and she straightened up instantly.

“I’m fine,” she snapped, then wished she hadn’t snapped. She didn’t know how to act now. Like she had never been kissed before. Like this wasn’t something she’d been through a dozen times.

Only she had never been through this. Not this exact situation. Nobody had. And she had nobody to ask advice from, either. It was all up to her.

And her judgment had been stellar so far, hadn’t it? Case in point, her unfaithful ex-fiancé. No, she hadn’t exactly been the smartest.

Why not throw a little time travel in to really spice things up? Not to mention a rotten girl she hadn’t heard a single nice thing about, who would probably want to kill her the second she learned who Melissa was?

She snickered, and naturally Leith heard it.

“What strikes ye as amusing?” There was nothing about his tone of voice to give her a clue as to how he felt about the kiss or about her or about anything.

As great as it was—and it had been, probably the best kiss she’d ever had—she wished he hadn’t done it. As if she didn’t have enough going on.

“Take your pick,” she snickered. “I wasn’t laughing out of amusement or happiness. Laughing at myself is more like it. I have a talent for getting myself into tough spots, even when I don’t mean to. Like sliding a few hundred years back in time. No big deal.”

His shoulders shook when he chuckled, and the impulse to grab those shoulders blindsided her. They were so big and thick, and her fingers practically itched to sink into all that muscle just to see if it was as firm in reality as it was in her mind.

Great. Now she was fantasizing about his muscles. This was getting worse by the second.

“Ye have a fine sense of humor,” he observed. “It will serve ye well when we meet the Frasers and MacNeills. For they will not make it easy for us—rather, for myself. I would keep ye from all of it if I could.”

“That’s a nice thing to say, but I don’t see how you can keep me from anything. Unless you plan to shackle us together.” Great.
