Chapter 7

Con didn’t feel his injured leg at all and it didn’t slow him; he ran like the wind, his feet as light as his heart. She had come to him. She had come to him after all.

He caught Linn in several steps. She halted when she heard him behind her, and in the next instant his arms closed about her, pressing her back against him.

“I knew you’d be here,” she whispered.

“I wished that you would come,” he replied.

Linn relaxed into him with a luxurious sigh, reveling in the hard warmth of his body, the feel of his bare chest against her back through the thin robe. Con drew his hands up from her waist and cupped her breasts in his palms. Linn quivered with delight, raising her arms and locking her hands behind his neck, stretching along the powerful length of him like a cat. The abandoned sensuality of the gesture inflamed Con beyond control; he gripped her hips tightly and pulled her against him, letting her feel his arousal. Linn moaned as his lips moved through her hair and found her neck, covering her nape and exposed shoulders with kisses. His mouth was moist, hot, everywhere, sending shivers rippling down her spine, making her knees so weak she needed his support to stand.

Con spun her around in his arms and she waited longingly for his kiss. Instead he held her with one arm and, brushing aside her robe, bent his head and took a nipple between his lips. The sudden, unexpected sensation was unbearably erotic; Linn lay back in the curve of his muscular forearm, her hair trailing almost to the ground, as he laved first one ripe bud and then the other with his tongue. He sucked and nibbled, caressing her tender flesh until she was stimulated to an exquisite, aching sensitivity. Then he straightened suddenly, embracing her, cradling her as if she were the most precious treasure in his world.

“I love you, Aislinn,” he said, his deep voice hoarse with emotion. “I was lost from the moment I saw you.”

Linn closed her eyes in absolute relief, absolute happiness. This was what she’d been waiting all her life to hear. But a tiny doubt remained. “And my father?” she said faintly, clutching him, afraid to remind him and yet afraid to let it pass.

“I don’t care,” he said fiercely, tightening his arms around her. “I can’t make myself care anymore. All I can see and all I can think about is you.”

Linn raised her head to look at him and saw the truth of it in his face. The past was forgotten; it really didn’t matter to him any longer. She put her hand up to touch his cheek.

Con turned her toward the cottage. “Come inside,” he whispered, his eyes brilliant in the shadows. “I’ll not let you get away again.”

“No,” Linn said, resisting. “I want it to be here, where it all began.”

Con sucked in his breath sharply. “You’ll stay with me, then?” he asked, as still as a statue.
