TAMING A LAIRD’S WILD LADY

Haggis made a slow perusal of the two of them. Disapproval lit his gaze. She could imagine how disheveled she must look. A brief glance down at herself confirmed that her skirt was twisted and her bodice was pulled to one side, though her breasts were covered. Her gaze swung to Gavin; it was worse. His breeches were loose, his hair was sticking out everywhere, thanks to her attentions, and his eyes were wild.

Isla tugged her dress in place and stepped in front of him. She could be angry at Gavin, but honestly, she had been a more than willing participant, and Uncle Haggis wasn’t going to blame Gavin for what had happened.

“Yer back from hunting.” Isla flipped her hair over her shoulder.

“Don’t even start with me, young lady. Yer face is covered in tears, and ye were yellin’ at Campbell here like ye hated his guts.” Haggis crossed his arms over his broad chest, pulling on his horses reins as her did. The horse neighed as though it was agreeing with its master. Few dared disagree with her uncle.

“Uncle Haggis. I will deal with Gavin―”

“Ye won’t. Not this time. There are lines and you’ve crossed them. I won’t tell the rest of yer family, but you’ll be proposin’ marriage in the morning.” His gaze met Gavin’s over her shoulder.

“Uncle Haggis,” Will’s called as he, Tom and Fergal finally caught up to them.

“Which one of you egits concocted this night ride and then allowed your sister to go off unchaperoned.” Haggis drew up to his full height.

Will stepped up to his uncle. “Uncle Haggis, there was no harm done. Gavin wouldn’t do anything to―”

“Yes he would, and has, and he will pay for his transgression.” Haggis jabbed his finger in Gavin’s general direction.

“Uncle Haggis, he hasn’t done anything.” Isla put her hands on her hips. She could be angry with Gavin, and she was, but her Uncle wouldn’t browbeat him into marrying her. It wasn’t even less appealing than being traded for lumber. Taking a quick glance at Gavin’s tousled appearance, heat began to fill her again. If only he wanted a future the way she did, but she wouldn’t be married to a man that didn’t want her.

“Isla.” Gavin slipped his arm around her waist. He dropped his head so his nose was buried in her hair. Then he lifted his head back up. “I’ll tell her father in the morning that I’d like her hand in marriage.”

“Good boy,” Haggis said.

At the same moment, Isla screeched, “What?” Her husband was going to be a man who didn’t want to be married. What did that mean for her future?

Tom let out a whoop. “Let’s toss Angus out tomorrow.”

Will crossed his arms over his chest.

Fergal gave them a grin. “I’ve always wanted a sister. After living with you for six months, no one else is going to be able to outride me.”

“This is ridiculous.” Isla tried to put her hands back on her hips, but Gavin’s arms got in her way.
