Outlaw
Page 33
“Where’s Cormick?”
“His aunt Cayley was cooing to him when I left.”
“She needs a babe of her own.”
“First a husband.”
“Who would marry her?”
“A man more stubborn than she.”
“Is there such a bullheaded man in all of Wales?” she asked, laughing, and the merry sound carried on the wind.
“Now, wife, you didn’t answer my question,” he said, advancing upon her. “Are you happy?”
“Oh, nay, Wolf, can you not see I’m miserable?” Again, she laughed.
“As miserable as I am.”
He circled her waist with one arm and tilted her face up with his free hand. Cool lips brushed over hers.
She eyed him in the afternoon sunlight. “You’re not an outlaw any longer. All charges against you were forgiven.”
“A pity,” he said with a cynical grin.
“So now you’re an honorable man.”
“Is that what you believe?” He kissed her again as a great owl flew above them and disappeared into the forest. His smile was wicked and a glimmer of seduction appeared in his eyes.
“I believe a part of you will always be a thief and rogue.”
“ ’Tis true,” he agreed, and her heart raced a little as he kissed her lips again. “But only for you, m’lady, for I plan to steal your heart over and over again.”
