Chapter 6

However, Tasi obviously didn’t feel the same. Slumped against him, her breathing was still choppy.

Sudden guilt assailed him as he remembered the roughness with which he’d taken her. Alarmed, he looked down at the curve of her back and saw a few red marks marring the paleness of her skin.

Horror struck, he placed his hands on her shoulders and gently eased her back, ignoring her protest. His gaze swept over her, taking in the imprint of his fingers on her hips. “Oh, lass. Tasi, I - ”

“You even dare to stand me up and check my backside, and I’ll slap you.”

Shame swept through him. “Oh, God, Tasi, I was so rough. I - ”

“Yeah, wasn’t it great?” With a dreamy sigh, she collapsed against his chest.

“What?”

“You’re the best I’ve ever had. Of course, I’m not hugely experienced, so...” Tilting her head back, she grinned up at him. “I guess now isn’t the time to bring that subject up, huh?”

He was more concerned right then about her. “How badly did I hurt you? God, Tasi, I am so sorry. Get up and let me see.”

She grabbed a handful of his hair while snuggling closer. “Push me off your lap at the risk of being half-scalped at the same time. I’m fine.”

He was still having a hard time coming to terms with his loss of control. “I shouldn’t have been so rough with you. You’re so much smaller…”

“Get over it. I liked it. In fact, I loved it.” Straightening, she kissed him lightly on the lips and grinned. “Stop looking so shocked, Heddam. I’ll survive.”

The remorse was still there, but when he saw the genuine unconcern on her face, it faded a little. “Are you sure you’re not hurt?”

“I like it rough.”

“I could have hurt you.”

“You’d have stopped if I’d asked.”

He looked steadily at her. “How can you be so sure?”

“Pshaw. You may make love like a wild thing when aroused, but you’d never hurt me.”

“’Tis never been like that before...” He took a deep breath, relaxing once more now he was sure that Tasi really was unhurt.

She grinned. “The first time was you, and it was great. The second time, that was me.”

Now Heddam was confused. “Pardon?”

“Me. You did the first part, I ended it.”

“I don’t understand.”

Resting her elbow lightly on his shoulder, she placed her chin on her hand. “Think about it.”

He did, and it was almost enough to get him excited again.

She smacked him lightly on the shoulder.

“Right.” He tried to be analytical but there was no way he could separate his feelings from the physical act. The memory was incredible, and the golden/burgundy glow had been... Heddam suddenly looked at her with dawning awareness. “’Twas you!”

“Yep.” Her eyes were dancing with mischief. “Did you like it, lover?”

“I thought I was going to explode.”

She laughed.

Heddam grinned, his thumb tracing along her jaw line and down to her throat to the red mark he’d left there. His smile faded when he saw the mark, but it wasn’t with remorse. Satisfaction filled him.
