CHAPTER FOUR

Her hands were bandaged.

And – this is what really woke Lindy – someone was kissing her fingertips.

That same someone was also murmuring Gaelic love words, his breath soft and warm against her skin. Lindy’s heart skittered and she opened her eyes, looking into the face she’d loved forever. She knew that now, the surety of it filling her with a completeness – a sense of rightness and contentment - such as she’d never known.

At least not in the twenty-first century life she’d left behind.

That she was now somewhere else, was clear.

The evidence was all around her. But most of all, she felt it inside her. She’d been returned to a place and time she belonged, it was like nowhere else. If she had any doubt – which she didn’t - the love shining in Rogan MacGraith’s eyes as he sat beside her on the huge medieval four-poster bed, told her everything she needed to know.

The important things, anyway.

Such as how much she meant to him and how glad he was to see her.

That his dog – the one she’d seen below the cliffs, when she’d fell – stood beside the bed wagging his tail and looking at her with adoration was another boon.

She was definitely welcome here.

The dog edged forward to nudge her with his nose, proving it.

His master grinned, the sight warming her to her toes.

“Precious lass." Rogan’s voice, so deep and deliciously burred, was even more seductive than in her dreams. “I would spare you every hurt, but if you had to fall down the cliff to come to me, then” - he kissed her hands again – “I thank the gods for the misstep that brought you into my arms.

“And now that I have you” – he reached to smooth the hair back from her face – “I would know your name at last.”

“Lindy." She didn’t want to speak. It was bliss just to listen to his beautiful voice. “My name is Lindy. Lindy Lovejoy.”

“Lindy." He made her name sound like a song. “‘Tis a fitting name for one who fills my heart with such gladness. Sakes, lass” – he took her face between his hands, kissing her soundly – “when I saw you fall, I thought I’d lost you. To have you so close, within touching distance and then….”

Rather than finish, he pulled her hard against him, almost crushing her in his arms. “You are mine, Lindy. Now that you’re here, I will never let you go.”

Lindy almost swooned. “You won’t have to. I’m here now and I’m not going anywhere.”

She hoped that was true.

It was so hard to believe he really was holding her. Running his hands through her hair, touching her face, and – oh, joy! – kissing her.

She wasn’t dreaming.

This was real.

And - she suddenly realized - with the exception of the linen bandaging wrapped around her hands, she wasn’t wearing anything.

She was naked.

Though, proving medieval gallantry, someone had taken care to cover her with a soft furred throw and a lustrous welter of silken, richly-embroidered sheets.
