Chapter Eleven

She smiled more.

Iain noticed that the next morning. She greeted him at table as the family did and how no one else saw the blush that brought a lovely colour to her cheeks he could not explain. He made it through the meal, discussing with Robert and Struan the plans for the arrival of The Mackintosh and several other chieftains in the coming weeks, before staring at her.

When she reached up and touched her mouth when she thought no one was watching, sliding the tip of her finger along her bottom lip, he remembered the taste and feel of it. She dropped her hand to her lap for the moment had passed. He forced himself and his attention back to Robert’s conversation.

His father’s twin sister, Arabella, was married to Brodie Mackintosh, who’d claimed his position as chieftain after a bloody and devastating fight against his cousin—and the Camerons, too. That fight began when Brodie was accused, and appeared guilty, of killing Iain’s father. Only months later and after many lives were lost, did the truth out, helped along by the only witness to the murder—Alan Cameron, Robert’s stepson.

Iain had heard about how his uncle-by-marriage had stood at Alan’s and Robert’s backs in their fight to defeat the ruthless Gilbert Cameron. And Robert’s recent disclosures had given him a better understanding of how it had come to be.

It was that same Mackintosh uncle who had helped Robert find and save Iain when he and Davidh’s son were taken by outlaws to be used against the Cameron chieftain. That was when and how he’d met Brodie and his Aunt Arabella. She’d recognised him almost immediately after seeing him for the first time, but had not revealed her knowledge to anyone but his own mother.

So, Brodie Mackintosh and Robert Cameron had been allies for years and they were friends as well. Davidh’s son Malcolm, named for Iain’s father, had been fostering in Drumlui Keep with Brodie for several years now, learning the skills of a clerk. Iain smiled as he realised that Colm would most likely accompany The Mackintosh here on this visit.
