Chapter 20

Máel backed up with his hands in the air as if someone held a weapon on him.

Her innocent, feminine desire was the weapon.

Or rather, the way it made him feel.

He lowered his hands and looked at his open palms. They were not only scarred; they were dirty. Dirty hands on her beautiful body.

He dropped them. “Would you want a wash?”

Her eyes widened. “Where?”

“In the river.”

“It is night.”

He shrugged. “Bright as day out when you’re out from under the trees.”

He expected her to scold him, or at least scowl, but her face brightened.

“I would indeed.”

She got to her feet and took a limping step forward. His heart did a strange twist. Without thinking, he reached out and scooped her up.

One would almost think he wished to be holding her in his arms.

She gave a little cry of surprise but did not resist. This time, her body was not as stiff.

Her knees rested in the crook of his elbow, her spine curved against the other arm, and her hip pressed against his stomach…right on the erection that was stiffening his cock.

He had no idea how much experience she had with male desire, up close and personal, so there was a chance she might not detect it.

He realized, dimly, that he was constantly seeking ways to touch her. Teasing, baiting, testing; anything that might get a rise. Anything that might allow him to tread closer. Any reason to touch her. For each time it was like lighting him on fire.

Which made sense. Cassia was battle, and battle, for Máel, was both fuel and flame.

He wanted to burn her down. Loose the ties of her gown, spread her knees, bury himself inside her until she threw her head back in abandon…and mayhap whisper his name again.
