Chapter Four

The darkness that loomed after learning his brother sought to have him killed became even darker by Elsbeth's admission. Even so, his heart sang at her words confirming what he dreaded. For the second time in his life he was in love, though not like his first wife. This was so different. What he felt for Elsbeth was so much fuller, he could not let her go and let her witness what was surely etched on every inch of his face.

While happiness at her words sent his heart on the brink of bursting with joy, every emotion slammed into the same obstacle with stark precision. Her father would never agree to a union with an untitled man. A man with nothing more to offer than his sword.

He had to go north. If he didn't face his brother, the bastard would not cease in his attempt to have him killed. Power hungry and just as cruel as their father, the younger Campbell would ensure the powerful clan remained as such. Liam was the perfect person to take his father's place in more ways than not. He let out a breath, not releasing Elsbeth.

Her soft curves brought out so many reactions in his body he lost count. He was hard and breathless, while at the same time his insides softened. He wanted her more than he'd ever wanted any woman. To feel the full mounds of flesh in his hands would make any other woman disappear from memory. She was beautiful, intelligent and caring; dangerously enticing, with a touch of innocence. He doubted she'd ever lain with a man. It had been impossible not to picture her bereft of clothing in all the months they'd been friends, for her body was perfectly formed. Breathtakingly delicate yet so strong willed; her personality veiled the delicacy quite well.

When she'd been heartbroken at his betrayal, he was incapable of not telling her the truth. How could he now not be forthright? He'd not lie. At the same time, he could not tell her the fullness of how he felt for her, for he had yet to come to grips with it himself.

Instead he lifted her face to him and covered her mouth with his. Perhaps his words could be better conveyed with a kiss.

If shocked by his lips covering hers, she did not act like it. Elsbeth responded by gripping his shoulders, her mouth accepting and enthusiastic in returning the kiss with as much passion as he felt. It was a colossal mistake, for he'd never be able to stop. God let her pull away because if she didn't he'd be a lost man.

Her arms encircled his neck and her fingers threaded through his hair. Elsbeth pulled him closer crushing her delicate body against his; the contrast immediately sent his blood surging. It was almost as if it was he who was the inexperienced one, kissed for the first time so sweetly, that his entire being threatened to become undone.

She trailed kisses from his mouth to his jawline, soft moans escaping that only served to make him hold her tighter.
