Chapter Nine

McKayla put her hands on her hips then by her side then back on her hips, staring outside then back at him several times before she said, “Are you serious?”

“Verra,” he said solemnly, waiting for her to get upset. While he knew he should’ve told her earlier so much was going on. Then when it wasn’t…it was again. Between becoming laird, marrying the love of his life then having sex with her for the first time in this form, telling her about Nessa was the last thing on his mind.

Even now when he knew he should feel guilty for not telling her, all he could think about was how bloody amazing she’d felt against the wall, in his arms, surrounding him. Her dainty little body had suffered for taking this version of him but she’d done it. All of him. He’d never know how but they fit. And they would until the day he died. Over and over and over again.

“Colin?”

Hell. She’d been saying something. Shutting out visions of her open, panting lips and fluttering eyelids when he thrust into her, Colin said, “Aye.”

“Aye, what?” McKayla shook her head. “You were a million miles away.”

“Nay, right here. Just mulling things over.”

McKayla shook her head. “No, you were thinking about something else. How could you drop a bombshell like that then ignore me?”

He was about to respond but she cut him off. “You did that at home too. I’d be talking to you and you’d drift off. Where do you go? I always thought it was a techie thing…” Her voice trailed, caught between the past and present. After a few deep breaths, her bonnie light gray eyes settled firmly on him. “Were you ever really a techie? Did you create that kilt-wearing flashlight with your hands or with your magic?”

“Hands,” he responded, insulted. “I might be a wizard but in the twenty-first century I enjoyed creating things. Loved the challenge.”

Her eyes narrowed slightly. “I’d like to think so. A person’s passions in life make up a great deal about who they are and without that…”

Oh no. McKayla only rambled like this when she was upset. Nessa must have hit her harder than he thought. Colin pulled her into his arms and murmured in her ear, “She means less than nothing to me or I would have never left her at the altar. You need to know that.”

McKayla shook her head and pulled back. “You misunderstand. I don’t give a damn about Nessa. The thought of you not being a techie really bothers me. I don’t know why. I can’t explain it, but it bothers me. I guess it’s who you are to me. I know it sounds silly but I guess I want to know that something about you, something about us, was true. That the person I fell in love with and the things we shared weren’t all based on a lie. That you were real, we were real. Does that make any sense? I hadn’t thought about it until now.
