Chapter Ten

Glynnis took a bowl of boiled oats from Lucia and smiled at her friend, who smiled back, knowingly. It might be a large cavern, but it was impossible to keep what she and Robbie had done a secret for long. Not that she wanted to keep it a secret…but she didn’t want the guilt that would come if anyone mentioned her late husband.

Robbie had woken before her, leaving the bed warm and smelling of him. It was a striking and wholly addicting way to wake up. She’d dressed quickly, because she wanted to know how Saban and his crewman fared, and…well…because she wanted to see Robbie.

That was, until she stepped from the cottage and found several pairs of eyes staring at her. She couldn’t stop the flush that blasted heat into her cheeks, so, she’d ignored it and she’d ignore them.

Avoiding Robbie’s possessive, hungry gaze, she settled on a stool beside Rose who was sitting with her head between her hands, moaning. She must’ve imbibed more than was good for her the night before.

What is becoming of you, old friend? Years ago, before William’s betrayal, she’d spent many hours with Rose, getting to know her betrothed’s family before the wedding. She’d been level-headed, quick-witted, and even-tempered. She never imbibed in wine or ale and spent much of her time tending to her garden.

Something had changed…and Glynnis couldn’t begin to guess what.

“Why are the Demonios even here? What could they possibly want this far from their usual haunts? Have they run out of ships to plunder in the mid-Atlantic?” Brendan intoned while securing a belt and sheath around his waist.

“Might it have something to do with the English and their hunt for you, Saban?” Lucian asked, tightening his own belt and sliding his feet into his boots. The men were preparing for something…but why was Robbie still just sitting there, leaning back against the boulder, his muscular arms folded over a chest she’d attempted to memorize the night before as she pressed her cheek against it.

Robbie was a Rees, why wasn’t he as agitated as the other men?

“Possibly,” Saban intoned, his gaze locked on the dancing flames in the small cooking fire. “It is even more possible that they just want to stir up trouble.”

“That would be my guess,” Rose croaked, not bothering to raise her head. “My eyes and ears in Nantes who hear from my ears in Bilbao, who speak to my ears in Lisbon say that the Portuguese are exploring further south, into the dark continent.”

“What of it?” Saban asked, his tone telling of his impatience.

Rose lifted her head then, sneering at Saban. “It means that with so many Portuguese ships roaming their waters, the Spaniards are probably looking for new places to plunder, ones that won’t bring them face to face with warships and cannon fire.”

Saban ignored Rose’s sneer. “It seems that we have yet another enemy hungry for a taste of our blood.”

Saban lifted his chin, apparently signaling to Brendan and Lucian to follow him.
