CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

G ale did not handle Errol snapping at her well. She was determined to walk all the way back to the carriage as she stormed off. All it took was scaling down the natural steps for her head to clear, and the thought of crossing the river to come to the forefront of her mind.

All-day, she was hoping he would kiss her again. Her mind kept returning to the small moment when their lips locked, and the countryside disappeared. Instead, she ended up being snapped at, and what for? For telling him that she wanted to see him again after they part.

By the time she reached the edge of the pool, her anger had faded to a disappointed sadness. She let the tears fall free until after Errol called down to her. As she heard him approach, she tried her best to hide how upset he made her. The last thing she wanted was for them to fight, but her pride kept her from being the one to fix things, holding onto his harsh words.

As soon as he sat next to her, she wanted to hug him. She wanted him to wrap around her and make her feel safe and loved. She stared at him, listening to him tell her flat out that he didn’t want her to leave, and all at once, her home seemed to feel worlds away. She stared at him, stubbornness gnawing at her. She didn’t want to say it. She didn’t want to ask it. It already hurt her pride enough to know she was failing her family legacies and womanly duties.

Staring at him, seeing the pain in his eyes washed all thoughts away. Gale dove into Errol. She meant only to hug him, but the suddenness in which she fell into him knocked him off balance. He fell back into the damp straw with Gale clinging to his torso.

Gale could feel his heartbeat beneath her. He squeezed her tight to his body. All the anger and frustration and sadness melted away from her. Her mind seemed to numb. Fingers traced over his arm, feeling the dark hair slip beneath her touch. Errol planted a kiss on her forehead.

“I’m sorry, lassie,” he whispered.

The sound of his voice caused her heart to jump once more. Gale lifted her head up, propping her chin on his chest. They stared at each other for a moment before Gale’s eyes closed and she crooned her neck up to meet him.

Errol’s lips pressed down against Gale’s. His hands ran up her thighs. She could feel her dress lift slightly as he moved his arms to her waist, holding her tight where it curved in above her hips. Gale let her legs open and adjusted herself higher up on his torso. She was in complete control, and the excitement of the situation sent thrills surging through her body.

Gale kissed him in hungry bursts as his lips burned against hers. She felt warmth spread over her stomach as he pressed against her, the weight of her body grinding into him.
