SEARCHING FOR MY ROGUE

CHAPTER EIGHT

James and Dominic traveled on horseback along the path toward Weston Manor. They’d been on the road for many hours heading to the ducal estate. All James wanted to do was relax and have a drink by a warm fire. He was bone tired.

“James,” Dominic called. “Isn’t that your sister walking along the cliff? Who’s the blonde chit she’s with?”

James scrunched up his eyes and stared at the two figures. Bloody hell, it was Alys and Rosanna. What had possessed them to walk along the cliff? Alys especially—she’d explained what had happened to her in her time. Falling to uncertain death should be a major deterrent, yet there she was strolling along the edge without a care in the world. What if she fell off again? Would it take her home, or would he find her body crumpled and broken at the bottom? James shuddered at the image passing through his mind. No, it wouldn’t happen—ever. He’d have a discussion with her. He would make it clear she wasn’t to put herself into danger of any kind. It was for her own safety. She’d understand his reservations.

He couldn’t lose her. Not when there was so much he still had to learn about her. James couldn’t watch her leave him. When he looked toward the future, he saw her clearly at his side. Fate hadn’t dropped her into his life only to snatch her away.

“Those two will be the death of me.”

“The blonde is rather lovely.” Dominic grinned wickedly. “Please tell me she’s not your intended.”

James glared at his best friend. “If you don’t want a bloody nose you will quit staring at her with lascivious intentions.”

Dominic laughed. “Relax, I have no designs on your bride-to-be.”

James wasn’t sure if he believed him or not, but it was no matter. He had more important things to deal with. Rosanna knew better than to get so close to the cliffs and the tunnels. He’d have a discussion with her in private too. They didn’t seem to have the sense God gave them not to tread where ladies shouldn’t go.

“Let’s stable the horses,” James said, hopping down from his saddle. “I have much to do and two ladies in need of scolding.”

They headed into the stable. The stable master greeted them, took the reins from James, and then prepared the stallion for his stall.

“Be careful, James,” Dominic warned. “Ladies don’t much care for lectures on proper behavior. Though they sure don’t have issue with delivering them on occasion. Your sister has a barbed tongue.”

James whipped his head around and stared Dominic in the eye. “How would you know how barbed Rosanna’s tongue is? When have you had the opportunity to spend time in her company?”

James wasn’t sure he liked how familiar Dominic sounded. Rosanna was his baby sister, and the idea of Dom having an interest in her bothered him. He knew his friend, and he didn’t see him settling for one woman. He liked the chase too much. As much as he respected Dom, he wasn’t good enough for his sister.
