Chapter Fifteen

WHEN GAVIN OPENED his eyes again the cottage had gone dark. Easing off the bed, he went to build the fire, and then went outside to relieve his bladder. From the position of the moon he knew it was near midnight. They’d slept through the entire day and half the night. When he returned inside he saw his bed was empty, but Catriona’s gown lay beside it. The tartan and his lady had gone out the back door into the woods, likely so she might answer the same call of nature.

He stripped out of his tunic, washed out his mouth with some whiskey, and then found some ripe sand pears that would serve as a midnight snack. He was considering making a brew when Catriona slipped back inside, wrapped up in his tartan and nibbling on a sorrel leaf.

The firelight danced in the red tones of her hair, making her tousled mane look as if it had been strewn with tiny garnets. She’d draped the old blue tartan around herself like the gown of a goddess, and it wrapped around her slender body like the finest of silks. It struck Gavin then, just how beautiful she was—and completely unconscious of it as well.

“I would have hunted for berries, but ’tis too dark.” She came to him, the scent of the sorrel perfuming her like tart strawberry, and let the tartan slide a little from her bare shoulder. “And then I left my gown and clogs here. ’Twould no’ be wise to scamper about the forest wearing only your plaid.”

“About that.” He tugged at the fold over her breasts. “’Tis a cold night. I’ll want it back.”

She pouted a little. “How shall I keep warm?”

Gavin grinned. “I ken a man who can help you with that.” Just as he made to take her in his arms, she sidled away from him. “He’s very good, Cat.”

“Och, right, for I’ve met him,” she said gravely as she stole one of his pears and nibbled at it. “He kept me warm on the shore one night, as proper as you like, save for one kiss that fair curled my toes.” She eyed him. “I’d have the other. That great, grand beast of a man who seizes me and touches me and doesnae stop with one kiss, even in the pouring rain. Can you persuade him to warm me?”

“That beast is no’ very good,” Gavin warned as he went to her, and threaded his fingers through her hair to tip back her head. “He wants only to have you naked, under him in his bed, where he can have his way with you.” Her eyes had gone dark, and her lips glistened with the juice from the pear. The combination made his blood burn. “I wouldnae tempt him.”

“But he makes me feel such things.” She moved her shoulders, loosening the tartan, and watched his face as it slipped down. “He’s only to look at me and I grow hot and restless. And see now.” She let the tartan fall to her waist, baring her red, tightly-puckered nipples.
