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.”
