Chapter Twenty-One

The countryside swept past Amelia in a burst of color and the sweet spring fragrances of heather and pine. But she closed her eyes and pressed her cheek to Edmund’s chest, preferring the feel of him while they thundered across the landscape on his stallion. He smelled like this place, with a trace of something else. Something she couldn’t define, like wind across a loch.

“How long would ye have chased me today?”

Her cheek rose and fell with his breath and she fell like one under a spell at the cadence of his husky voice reverberating in her ear.

“As long as it took to catch ye.”

She chuckled and ran her fingers over his corded belly. “My answer would not have changed. I cannot wed ye.”

“It would have changed after I took ye back to my bed.”

She lifted her head off him and poked him in the side.

“Ye’re quite arrogant about yer skills.”

“Nae, but ye would never be disappointed. Still, ’tis not about that. ’Tis because once ye consent to my body, the rest of ye is mine, too, if I so wish it to be. I told ye that.”

She laughed. Honestly, he couldn’t truly have such barbaric notions about marriage and look the way he did, or charm her senseless the way he had from the moment she first opened her eyes on him.

“’Tis all the truth.”

“According to whom?” Her laughter relaxed into a smile. She almost wished it was the truth and Edmund would decide to have her for himself. This fantasy they were living was wonderful indeed, but soon it would all come crashing in.

“According to Highland law.”

She rested her head on him again and closed her eyes to think about it for a moment to make certain she had it right. According to his laws, if she let him make love to her, she might as well be consenting to marriage.

“Then as I told ye this morning before ye gave chase, I shall resist ye until ye return me to Queensberry.”

He turned slowly and eyed her over his shoulder. She did her best not to laugh. “Admirable,” he drawled, surprising her.

He slowed their horse to a halt, slipped out of the saddle, and reached for her. “I want ye, Amelia,” he told her while she slid into his waiting arms, down his hard body. “I want to explore every delectable inch of ye and set yer nerves aflame.” He kissed her face, her mouth, and breathed fire into her, confirming his promise. She went weak in his embrace and victory sparked his eyes like lightning across the night sky. “I want to teach ye how to take me.” He bent her over his arm and pressed his lips to her bosom. “I want to make ye wet and hot and ready with a few strokes of my tongue and the tight head of my desire.” He grazed his teeth down her throat and slipped his hand under her skirts. She was wet and hot already, groaning like a siren at the mastery of his fingers.
