Aware that he had been holding his breath, Ian exhaled. The thing was done. He waited for the rush of regret, if not shock, that he’d expected to engulf him.

Instead, as he relaxed, his cock expressed utter elation with his decision. It had twitched when her lips parted. Then her blushes had stimulated it more. Now…

“I’ll send for a priest straightaway,” Andrew said, rubbing his hand together.

Diverted from incipient lust, Ian said, “Is not the nearest priest in Balloch?”

“Aye, but if I send a running gillie—”

“Sir, that could take days, and we cannot wait.” Looking hard at Andrew, he added, “Think, my lord. Our very reason for haste…”

Frowning, Andrew said, “ ’Tis true, aye. What d’ye suggest instead?”

“Marriage by declaration,” Ian said. “We can set things right with the Kirk afterward if you like, or if Lina does. But since there is little of property or—”

“There must be a settlement, lad,” Andrew said firmly. “Ye ken fine that Andrena and Mag will get most o’ what I leave. I must be sure that Lina—”

“Aye, sir, I can attend to that,” Ian said hastily. “My father has settled land on me already and my knighthood will entitle me to more when Jamie has his royal affairs sorted. Meantime, I will sign any agreement you suggest that can suit us both. I will eventually inherit nearly all of the Colquhoun properties, and—”

“Aye, but ye may be killed in this Dumbarton affair o’ yours, lad. I must—”

“You know my father well, sir. He will honor any agreement I sign. So will my brothers if Father and I should both die before I inherit. You have noted yourself that both of my parents love Lina. They will do everything in their power to protect her and any children we may have.”

“They would, aye,” Andrew agreed. “Art agreeable to such haste, lass?”

“I have agreed to marry Sir Ian,” she said. “The manner of it matters not.”

“Good,” Andrew said. “Let’s get on with it then. I’m hungry.”

“You might be wiser to tell my lady mother and the others about this first,” Lina suggested dryly.

Ian looked swiftly at her, fearing that such abruptness had changed her mind.

She looked as calm as ever. Then her gaze met his, and she smiled.

His cock leaped again.

Sakes, he thought, the damned thing was practically crowing!
