Chapter Thirteen

Aidan walked towards the keep, regretting with every step that he’d left without seeing her smile this morn. And though he had taken her without ceasing all through the night, his body ached for her even now.

Catriona was everything he’d hoped for in a lover even if her innocence in bedplay was clear. She opened to him and he brought her to release and to pleasure for what must be the first time in her life. Her body answered his every touch and he had so much more to show her. How it should be between a man and woman. How pleasure should be shared and should be for both of them. His blood surged and his cock rose in spite of how many times they’d joined all through the night.

Duty, his father, summoned him to his side this morn. When his parents left for his uncle’s wedding, Aidan would stand in his father’s place. And make judgements in his stead. Today, he would hear disputes and resolve them, just as he would once he took over control of Ord Dubh.

He passed through the gates and waved to the guards. When his friends saw him and followed, he wanted to sing out Catriona’s praises to them, but he held the words. Though ever eager to share stories of their prowess with each other, somehow, exposing her to them felt...wrong.

So, as they recognised the signs he could not seem to hide on the morning after a good bout of sex and asked for the details, he brushed them aside.

‘Just tell us her name?’ Angus said.

‘You are daft!’ Caelan said, smacking Angus on the side of his head. ‘Everyone knows who she is. He’s been after her for weeks.’

‘I was not sure which of the rumours spoke true of it, but I can tell from your stride that you have been well f—’ Angus stopped and changed the word when Aidan glared at him. ‘Well tupped.’

Aidan stopped then and looked at them. ‘Speak of this, of her, to no one lest Munro hears of it. And I will not have it said she dishonoured her vows before Gowan’s death.’

He needed them to know that truth. Something within him would not allow her to be shamed by his actions.

‘Munro kens of the house you gave her,’ Dougal said. ‘Everyone kens.’

Aye, everyone would know every move he made, that was the way of things. And what they did not, his father would anyway.

He’d counted on everyone knowing, to ease her way and to keep her safe from harassment. But he did not wish to speak of her openly with his friends. Not in the way they usually shared details of their conquests and their bedding of this woman or that one.

‘My father waits on me,’ he said, walking towards the keep then. ‘Do you wish to watch?’

Though the others strode off, not interested in anything but fighting and swiving or talking about doing those things, Young Dougal walked silently at his side into the keep.
