Chapter Seven

Brodie stood on the parapet of the tower house looking out over Loch Ness. There was a slight chill in the air this afternoon, but then the breeze blew off the ice-cold loch. His gaze shifted to the trees on the hills that were starting to change color. Fall was coming, winter not long after that. Before long it would be difficult to travel through the Highlands and almost impossible to cross over the mountains to head back into the heart of England. All of which meant all tinker travelling would be harder very soon. Dangerous. He couldn’t let Annabel leave.

He braced his arms on the crenellated wall and let his frustrations flow through him. There were many. The most annoying at the moment were the Campbells. They had been here two days now and showed no signs of preparing to move on, although he hadn’t actually told them to leave. But, as tinkers greedy for sales, it surprised him that they stayed so long here. He knew they made some sales now and then. Mainly they seemed to spend time bragging to one and all that their trinkets and fancy fabrics, ribbons and threads, jewelry boxes and necklaces were the finest among the many tinkers travelling through Scotland. He’d thought the bragging would bother Annabel, but she hadn’t seemed to care. Probably every tinker made such statements. It suddenly occurred to him that he’d never seen her try to sell her wares to anyone here. Odd, that. He would have to ask her about the matter.

A shiver of unease curled through him. His thoughts went back to the day he’d found Annabel in the lord’s hall of this tower with Gordon. He’d sped over here the second one of the pages had come to him with a message from the tower house guard. His gut had told him Gordon was up to no good. He was more than glad the surly knight was gone now. She’d been so pale when he’d found them together. Angus had tried something; he knew it, even if she’d never admitted as much to him. He’d bent her over the table and spanked her for being foolish enough to go anywhere alone with Gordon. And then he’d given her what he believed was her first orgasm with his fingers. God’s teeth! He shouldn’t have done such a thing. But he wanted to do so again. He wanted to do far more than that to her.

Cursing, he knew he had to stop being unreasonable and let her leave…before he really did do something foolish. She was warming up to the Campbells, and they still talked about having her travel with them. It was tempting. Yet he couldn’t let her leave until he heard back from The MacKay.

The MacKay. His father’s old friend was not the only memory that had returned. As he’d walked through the lord’s hall only moments ago, he’d suddenly pictured his father, sitting at that table. Two others—besides him—sat at the table, too, but they were faceless to him yet.
