Hearing her moan deep in her throat, Rob felt a hunger unlike any he had known for a woman before. He would have liked to scoop her into his arms and carry her to her bed. But men would soon bring her tub and hot water, her maid would come, and he had promised that he would not hurt or frighten her.

Her slender body felt soft and supple, and he hoped he had not bruised her shoulders. He had not meant to grab her so tightly, but he could not have borne to let her think he didn’t want her. Sakes, he had wanted her since the day he’d found her in the cottage in the same pink kirtle she wore now, rucked up to her thighs.

And heaven knew he wanted her now, more than he had wanted any woman since the night he had first learned about coupling. Even so, he knew that his size and strength had frightened some experienced women and at least one maiden.

Her father had said that they were both responsible for their marriage. He was right about that, but Rob did not blame Muriella for her part in it. She had done what she thought she had to do, out of desperation. Nor would he blame himself for refusing to contradict her declaration. Not only would that have reflected on his personal sense of honor, it would also have condemned her to marry Dougal.

So he was reaping the consequences of his actions. Standing as he was now, with her in his arms, those consequences were having a strong effect on him, especially certain parts of him, one in particular.

She tasted sweet and a bit salty, which suited her. He did not want to stop kissing her, but he knew that if she stimulated him much more, he would have to fight hard later to keep his promise to her and to himself.

Regretfully, he ended the kiss and set her back on her heels.

“That was nice,” she said. “If my father is having your things brought here, I expect that means you will be sleeping in my bed.”

“Likely, it does,” he agreed. “But as I told you, you have nowt to fear.”

For a moment, she looked dismayed, but before he could ask her to explain, a rap at the door signaled the arrival of the men with her tub and hot water.

Rob opened the door for them and found himself face to face with a buxom young, rosy-cheeked lass in a simple blue kirtle and a white cap that covered her hair. Behind her came two gillies with Muriella’s bathtub and hot water.

“I be Tibby, sir,” the lass said. “The laird did tell me tae come up and help the lady Murie with her bath.”

“Then I’ll leave you to that,” Rob said, and fled.
