“You’ve looked close enough, MacGowan,” she said. He shifted his gaze to her bosom, luscious beyond compare, and stepped closer. “I may be missing something.”

“Or you will be soon,” she said, and in that instant, he realized her dirk was pressed against his hip.

”Tell me one thing, lass,” he said, and though he knew himself a fool, he lifted his hand and brushed a golden lock away from her cheek. Her skin was as soft as moonlight. His fingers ached to touch her, to skim down her throat to the glories beyond.

“One thing,” she agreed and pressed the dirk into his plaid so that he could feel it against his flesh.

He held his breath. “Did you do it for me?” She narrowed her eyes.

“The gown,” he said. “Do you-”

“You?” She laughed and choked at the same time.

“Are you daft?” she asked and jerking the knife away, turned with a jolt.

Disappointment smote him. Aye, he should have guessed her answer, but when he was near her it almost seemed that she felt as he felt-except for the ever-present knife, which was disconcerting at best.

He remained very still. ‘Then why?”

A thousand thoughts seemed to flit through her mind. “‘Tis none of your concern,” she said finally.

“Then I am forced to believe you are lying, and that the feminine attire is indeed on me own account.”

“Do you think yourself so important that I would don these foolish garments for you?”

He shrugged, hoping against hope that he looked unconcerned. “Then who?”

“A gentleman.”

He said nothing. Indeed, he did his best not to think, for his was not a steady temper and the thought of her in another’s arms… He pushed the image aside.

“So you’ve fallen for a nobleman, have you?” “Fallen for!” she said and laughed again. ”‘Tis just like a man to believe lust would be the reason behind me plans.”

“Plans?” he asked, but in that moment she ran out of patience.

“Out of me way,” she said and, pressing past him, snatched up her tunic and left the room.
