Cavan woke with a tickle to his nose, and just as he was about to brush the annoying speck away, realized his arms were wrapped around a warm soft body. He almost released his wife with a start until common sense—or was it a spark of desire?—stilled him.

What was she doing in his arms?

Her cheek rested against his chest, her arm was draped across his waist, and one of her legs was tucked between his two, while his arms were wrapped protectively around her. His heart thudded madly and he grew hard in a flash.

“Damn,” he mumbled.

She felt good in his arms, much too good, her breasts pressed against his chest, her knee resting just beneath his manhood, which sprouted in full-blown passion.

He wanted her, Lord how he wanted her.

He had been too long without a woman, and while he had every right—it was actually his duty—to join with his wife, he hesitated. He didn’t want to ravish her out of need. He wanted to make love with her from his heart.

He was about to groan but managed to keep it silent, its ripple reverberating down his throat. How had he allowed his arranged marriage to become so complicated? He didn’t like his own answer.

Stubbornness.

He had been stubborn about too many things since his return, only one deservingly so—his brother. His guilt would never be assuaged until he found Ronan.

He would never feel whole until then, and his wife didn’t deserve only half of a man. She was entitled to a warrior, a true future chieftain.

She stirred in his arms, nestling closer, her body rubbing intimately against his.

He looked down to see that she still slept, her innocence obvious in her movements, as if she simply wanted to cuddle as closely as possible to him. He let her settle herself, though nearly swore aloud when her leg brushed his swelled manhood.

It would be so easy to have his way with her, and he had no doubt she would submit willingly, and their vows did need to be consummated. So many sound reasons to join with her, and yet one solid reason stopped him.

His wife deserved more.

“Are you all right?”

Her soft voice startled him, as did her sleepy violet eyes. She had barely woken, her eyes still droopy with sleep, her lashes fluttering, fighting to come fully awake.

“You had nightmares.”

He had his answer as to why she was there with him, and it disturbed him. She had sought to comfort him; in a way, to protect him. He stilled suddenly.

She rubbed her cheek against his chest. “You are so very comfortable.”

He groaned inwardly and knew that it was imperative that they separate soon or else he’d be in trouble. But damn she felt so good and so right in his arms. He’d hold her just a few more moments and then let her go. He had to let her go.

She sighed softly, then abruptly stilled.

He realized why. She had felt the swell of him, and no doubt it frightened her.

Surprisingly, she glanced up at him and with a smile said, “We are husband and wife.
