Chapter Ten

“Athdara shut me off from her thoughts,” Logan murmured. “‘Tis good this. The bond forged between you two should be yours alone.”

“Well, I don’t mind you listeninge in.” Cassie offered a little grin. “But it seems she’s got all the control.”

“Aye.” Logan was happy that Athdara and Cassie had finally connected. The bond between the two would only strengthen now.

Logan brushed a lock of hair back from her face, enchanted by the way the firelight ignited sparkling streaks of strawberry red in her thick blond hair. He liked the shiver that rippled through her as her startled eyes met his. It was something she seemed to do whenever he touched her. Something he had made a habit of doing over the past few days.

If anything, his desire for her had only grown tenfold. Not just her beauty, but her personality captivated him. He enjoyed the way she often said things unintentionally. The way the tops of her cheeks and tip of her nose reddened slightly when she realized what she said. As a rule of thumb, most people tended to give him guarded words so he found her aloof bluntness refreshing.

For long hours, he had mulled over Niall’s advice to simply take her and be done with it but the timing never seemed quite right. Besides, though his body entirely disagreed, he had wanted a chance to get to know her better. As far as he was concerned, he’d gone through life having less intimacy than most men so a few more days couldn’t hurt. Or at least that’s what he kept telling himself. The truth was he needed her to understand that he didn’t just want her for sex. Because regardless of what Grant said about her being meant for one of his cousins, Logan meant to keep her.

“I’ve food for you, cousin,” Niall said as he came around the corner. His eyes grew mischievous. “Unless you’ve decided on another way to satisfy your appetite.”

He found the way Niall acted around Cassie interesting. While his cousin wasn’t necessarily a brooder, he wasn’t normally this…what? Lighthearted? But then battling and revenge was on the horizon and nothing gave Niall more pleasure.

Logan shook his head as Cassie took another hearty gulp of whisky. “Just bring us the food, Niall.”

Niall grinned as he handed over some roasted game. “‘Twas hard to know after the way you two have been looking at one another what you might be doing.”

Cassie blushed, thanked him for the meat and took a bite. Logan figured she was determined to keep herself busy rather than be part of this conversation. “Many thanks for the food. Alert me when one of Laird MacLauchlin’s men arrives.”

Niall nodded, winked at Cassie then sauntered off.

Cassie frowned in confusion. “But I thought Clyde MacLauchlin wanted to kill you?”

“Likely he does but we both know he needs me and my warriors too much right now.”

“And of course you’ll help him because there’s always the chance Robert’s in that castle.”

“Aye.” Logan shrugged. “But I would’ve helped him anyway.
