As Gabriel went out the front door, Emma read the message from Mattie’s former therapist. “Well, I guess that settles that.” She texted back a note, slipped her phone in her pocket, and reached for her crutches. Today was her only chance to meet the therapist in person—five p.m. at the Bar None, a pub in Inverness. She rose clumsily on the crutches. She’d need every second between now and then to get ready and make it there, even though it was only nine in the morning.

She made it into the loo okay but almost toppled over, trying to take off her knickers. “Bugger that.” She had to be careful. She turned on the tap for the shower. What would Gabriel think if he had to come to her rescue again? But this time she’d be naked as the day she was born. She’d die of embarrassment—not only because he’d see her without a stitch on, but he’d probably carry her through the village that way and not give a care that her bare bum was on display for the townsfolk to see.

She wasn’t brave like the slutty deb who’d taken advantage of Gabriel’s lips last night. No. Egghead Emma was back, shy and awkward as ever.

But she had done it. She’d kissed him and it had been as hot and sexy as the first time. Even more so. He’d turned to putty in her hands, and she loved that feeling of controlling a man—not just any man, but Gabriel—taking him to the edge. And with that, her feeling of power turned on her and she went all squidgy on the inside, her middle melting into caramel.

She put her head under the water and tried to rinse away the lust. That man did things to her that Emma had assumed were impossible. And she’d sure shown him that kissing each other wasn’t just setting off a few firecrackers; it was more like Buckingham Palace’s fireworks on New Year’s Eve. She’d proved her point. Now what?

The truth hit her. Kissing him was like stepping into sunshine in the dead of winter, and she didn’t want to stop. Ever. But Emma couldn’t let herself be just another in the long line of women who had succumbed to Gabriel MacGregor’s charms.

No. She was made of stronger stuff than that. She would slake her lust, but it wouldn’t be with him. Maybe she could find a man in a nearby town—maybe in Inverness while she was there.

With her mind set, she finished her shower safely and dressed in a gray suit and black tights. While she blow-dried her hair, she wondered what had happened to her tights from yesterday. She’d probably lost them at the hospital.

After she rewrapped her ankle, she went ahead and put on the thick wool socks, though her sense of style begged her not to. But he was right: The weather was harsh this far north. With one boot on, she carefully left and closed the quilting dorm door behind her.
