It was hell.

Bryce had started questioning his decision to accompany Catrina to Kenshire even before they left Bristol. He’d sworn under his breath upon his first sight of her in that dress, not caring if Thomas overheard him. By God, what had she been thinking? Her breasts nearly burst from the neckline of the otherwise fine-looking gown. While her explanation of the ruined dress made sense, he honestly didn’t know how they would make it to Kenshire without incident.

He wanted her.

There was no use denying it. The small tastes, the blasted kisses, only left him wanting more. Bryce had finally resigned himself to that fact. Every time she entered the room, his pulse quickened. When he closed his eyes, he could feel the firm press of her chest again his own. How her buttocks felt as if they were made for his hands.

Accompanying her on this trip was an error in judgment.

But although he knew that, there was nothing to be done. He could not remain at Bristol wondering if she’d outsmarted her guards. The thought of her wandering toward the border again, prey to any reivers who crossed her path, was too much for him to bear. He would see her safe and secure at Kenshire before making his next move.

Clan Kerr was being watched. He would know if they remained at Brockburg or took the bait and followed them to Kenshire. And if Toren Kerr was stubborn enough to march on Bristol even though his sister was no longer in residence, he was prepared for that too.

Either way, the man would pay for his actions.

Just as Bryce himself was paying for his insistence on joining this trip to Kenshire.

The draw she had on him, stronger every day, convinced him that his best strategy was to stay away from her. Which is exactly what he tried to do. But as he lay awake in the small tent on the second night of their journey, he could hear her talking, laughing with his men. More than once, he considered putting a stop to their merriment—until he realized the source of his irritation was jealousy.

What did he care if she enjoyed the company of his knights? They would likely learn very quickly that she talked too much. Said the most outrageous things. Surely they would tire of her chatter and insistence upon swearing like a man.

Finally, he did put a stop to it, reminding the group of their early start. Other than an angry glare, he received no other indication from Catrina that she’d heard him. Instead, she continued to tell the group a story about the first rabbit she’d killed.

Of course the lady hunted. The woman could do just about everything.

The next day, he forced himself not to turn around. To ignore the itch that urged him to look back at her, just once. She was riding in the middle, keeping up with their grueling pace. Admittedly, he was impressed by her riding skills. Any other woman would have complained more than once about the harsh conditions of the journey.
