fall in love
“Sweet, we need to get ye out o’ yer wet clothes.”
Thea stood, her arms across her breasts, her eyes wide. “I am no sure I am ready. I want to be in yer arms, but no like this.”
“Tonight is no the night, Thea. Dinna harm yerself with worries o’ me wantin’ anythin’ from ye other than a warm sleepin’ companion.”
Thea nodded her assent and tucked a stray curl behind her ear. Callum slowly unbuttoned her shirt and eased her injured arm out of the sleeve. He helped her out of her breeks, the wet fabric clinging to her long, slim legs. Callum sucked in a breath and had to take moment staring at her feet. His eyes traveled the length of her body until he reached her face. Her teeth chattered.
“Och, my love, I am three kinds o’ a bastard.” He stood wrapped her in a blanket and led her back to her stool.
Thea reached out and cupped his face. “’Tis no that I mind the daydream but I am a bit chilled and I havena changed my mind.”

Color graced Kate’s cheeks as he stepped toward her and drew her into his powerful arms. His heart beat steadily against hers. He surrounded her with his heat as her lips met his.
Just as Shane was getting serious about this particular kiss, there was a knock at the door. Shane lifted his head and growled. Kate laughed softly at his reaction and stepped away from him. His hands on her shoulders, he winked at her.
“Another time, Katie.”
