Chapter Eleven

The weather outside was frigid and the air had a sharp bite to it that stung Flynn’s ears and nipped at his nose. He was used to such weather, but he feared the elements were not at all suitable for Maggie to travel in. She rode with her brother, slightly behind him and to the left, but Flynn could not help turning in his saddle every once in a while, to make certain she fared well.

“I am with her, Flynn. You need not check on her well-being every moment,” her brother groused. Flynn and Àdhamh had been good companions since the man came to Ráth Mór from Alba, yet he could not blame the man for his ire. Flynn had no wee sister, but he would likely be just as protective if he did, even though none of this was his doing. Although Àdhamh’s suspicions were, in fact, warranted, given that Flynn did bed the lass… and he likely would have again had her brother not barged into the hut at that exact moment.

With a frustrated growl, Flynn turned back around to face the front, a puff of cold breath escaping his lips. He wished to speak to Maggie, but he needed to do so in private. Before their brothers had both burst into the hut, Flynn had been about to confess to Maggie that he wanted more with her, a possible future. Could he make it so? Would Tuathal allow him to continue his services in a different manner? Though Tuathal was family and knew that love for a woman was essential in life, few men in Ráth Mór were capable of what Flynn was. Could his king allow him a new position in his service? He was not certain, but he was prepared to ask.

That was, however, until Maggie closed off to him the moment her brother arrived. She refused to even look him in the eye. Had she been so prepared to lose him that she never allowed herself the opportunity to grow as attached as he had? He was more than attached. He was irrevocably changed by the powerful love he felt for the lass. He was ready to give up aught just to keep her, something he never thought he was capable of. Her brother stood by like a sentry, waiting to pummel him if he came too close, but Flynn would find a moment to be with her; he had to.

“So…” Brennain said suggestively with a raised black brow.

“So?” Flynn repeated calmly.

“Were you really teaching her self-defense? It appeared you had your hand up her skirt and—”

“Enough!” Flynn groused. “Do not speak of her in that way.”

Brennain’s other brow went up to meet the first in clear surprise. “Och, you are mighty protective of her. I will take that as an ‘aye’.”

“An ‘aye’ to what, exactly?”

“That you have fallen for the lass.”

Flynn bit his bottom lip and turned his face away from his brother. This was not a conversation he knew how to
