“I cannot imagine you as a thief,” she said to his surprise as she rested her head on his chest.

He stroked his hand down her back. “Well, I am and a terribly good one at that.”

“What do you do?” she said, rolling onto her stomach and looking up at him.

He scrubbed his bristled jaw with his hand. “Well…we…ye know.”

“No,” she smirked. “I really do not know. Tell me.”

He knew to deny her would be futile. “Well…we wait in the woods on any of the roads north into Scotland.”

“What do you wear?” she chimed in.

He smiled. “We dress in black, and our faces are covered in black hooded masks.”

She made a show of shivering. “Quite sinister.”

“We wear large wooden crosses given to us by the Bishop Lamberton himself. And we call each other by our saint’s name to ensure our true identities remain secret.

She smiled knowingly. “And your name is St. Augustine.”

He smiled. “Naturally.”

“Augustine was a great philosopher,” she said. “The name suits you.” Then she cleared her throat. “And did you only rob English lords?”

He rubbed the back of his neck. “Nay, not exactly. We also robbed ladies such as yerself…need I apologize?”

She shook her head. “I understand your anger. I have no love for my king, not after Berwick, not after so many lives were taken, and so many more ruined.” She stroked her hand down the hard ridges of his stomach. “Anyway,” she said, laying her head back down on his chest and continuing her exploration of his strong physique. “I am not a lady anymore, remember?”

He threaded his fingers through her hair. “Aye, that’s right. Ye’re my lass now.” He kissed her long and hard and proceeded to show her again exactly what it meant to be his lass.
