Egan did not appear at supper that night. Glenda couldn’t help but be relieved at not having to face him again so soon. Nonetheless, he allowed her no peace. Always he trespassed. In her mind. In her thoughts. Even in the dark of night when she crawled alone into bed, there was no escaping him, for her dreams that night were wild and wanton.

She dreamed they were back in the apple orchard, lying on the grass beneath the trees. The breeze carried the scent of wildflowers from the neighboring meadow, fragrant and sweet. The noonday sun blazed down from the sky, sending spears of golden light shooting through the branches.

They were naked, both of them, for in this dream, there were no cares, no inhibitions, no shame. His mouth was everywhere…even there at the secret place between her thighs. And then…it was not he who straddled her, but she who straddled him. Glenda saw herself as if through the eyes of another. She was laughing, sitting on him…sitting!…her loins nesting with his. Gathering her streaming hair in both hands, she arched her back. Her breasts jutted forth, pink-tipped and full. Boldly she displayed her nakedness for him…for him.

His hands ran over her. Everywhere. He cupped her breasts in his hands like plump fruit and leaned forward, suckling first one quivering peak, and then the other. Finally his hands caught at her hips. Her buttocks filled his palm as he lifted her, guiding her down over his shaft…

She awoke with a gasp. Her eyes snapped open and she stared at the beams that stretched over her head, panting as if she’d run a very great distance. Her body felt as if it were on fire. Indeed, the coverlet was twisted about her ankles. Reaching down to pull it up, she was horrified to discover that dampness gathered there between her thighs. Glenda was wholly shocked. Never had such a thing happened before, even with Niall.

There was no sleep for her the rest of the night. Her temperament was not the best the next morning. She took one of the maids to task for not starting to remove the rushes in the hall earlier in the morn. Almost instantly she regretted her sharpness, but the girl had already fled.

With a sigh she turned. Nessa stood before her. The old woman raised an iron-gray brow. “Does yer temper this morn have aught to do with your husband?”

“No, it does not.” Glenda was not yet ready for another dressing-down by her nursemaid. “Where is he, by the way?”

“He has not yet come down.”

Glenda’s heart lurched. She couldn’t help the panic that flared. Egan had been so angry when he left the orchard yesterday. And then he hadn’t been at supper…Dear God! Had she finally succeeded in doing what she truly did not want—only she didn’t even know it until now! Had she driven him away from Blackstone?

Lines of worry knit her brow as she spun around and left the hall. Her step was quick as she climbed the stairs that led to the east wing.
