KENDRICK PACED outside his chamber where Davina slept. Knowing what had happened the last time they were alone made him nervous. He wanted her.

Each time he checked on her, his resolve broke a little more. The desire to slip in bed and hold her proved to be more than he could handle.

What are ye waiting for, eejit?

Taking a deep breath, he opened the door. He peeked at the bed but Davina wasn’t there. “Davina,” he called.

“Aye.”

He walked in. “How are ye?” Davina was in the tub.

“I’m well, thank ye.”

He averted his gaze. “I’m sorry. I didnae know ye were…”

“Naked?”

“Aye.” He raked his fingers through his hair. “I’ll come back later.”

“Stay.”

Kendrick walked closer as he rubbed the tension from the back of his neck. “Ye look well.”

“A wee bit of sleep and a hot bath does the body good. It was nice of Anna to draw me a bath.”

“Anna did this?”

“Aye. I think she’s beginning to like me.” She smiled.

“I’m sorry for accusing ye of knowing about Anna sneaking off with the MacTavish lad.”

“Kendrick, I did know.”

“What?”

“Please dinnae be mad. Anna told me where she was going. I talked to her about the lad, love, and the consequences of her actions. She’s a smart lass. Ye need to trust her.”

“’Tis no’ her I dinnae trust.”

“I know. But mayhap if ye let her make her own decisions, yer relationship with her will be better. I can assure ye, there is no lad that comes before her da. She loves ye.”

Kendrick should be mad at Davina for betraying his trust, but he couldn’t be. She was right. Anna had been rebelling against his rules because, truthfully, he’d been an arse. Anna was old enough to make her own decisions even though they might not be what he wanted for her.

Kendrick pulled up a chair and sat next to the tub. “I dinnae know when it happened, but me first born has grown up right before me eyes and I was too blind to see it.”

“Ye’re a good father.” Davina placed her wet hand on his thigh. “Ye are allowed to make mistakes. She forgives ye. She misses her mother.”

“Aye.” He exhaled heavily. “’Tis time for a new beginning.” He glanced at Davina, and she gave him a warm smile.

“I’m glad ye finally realize that.”

“Thanks to ye, Davina.” Their gazes locked.

Mutual hunger pulled them closer together. Her wet hair clung to her pale skin, and the fire in the hearth cast a soft glow over her body. By the saints, he wanted the lass.

“Do ye want to join me, Kendrick?” She pinned him with a wicked grin that she knew he couldn’t resist.

He stared at her full lips and couldn’t deny himself any longer. He stood and removed his tunic. He unlaced his trews, allowing them to fall to floor.

Her gaze heated his body as she looked him up and down, approving of his masculine physique.

She licked her lips. “From the first day I met ye, I imagined how ye’d look naked.”

“Och, lass, do I meet yer expectations?”

“Oh, aye.
