Posh Doc Claims His Bride
Page 17
Meagan’s own heart was beginning to beat faster. Could it be true? Could Cameron really want her—not because she was carrying his child or because he needed a surrogate mother for his son?
Just then the man in question opened the door and strode into the room. At the sight of him, Meagan’s breath caught in her throat.
Mrs Macleod took one look at his expression and decided to beat a hasty retreat. ‘I’ll be down later with your supper, dear,’ she said, before closing the door behind her. Cameron looked as if he hadn’t slept all night.
After a quick examination of her foot and pronouncing himself satisfied with his earlier diagnosis, he glared down at Meagan. Seeing his expression—challenging, demanding but just a little bit scared—she knew the truth. He loved her!
‘Just tell me,’ he demanded without preamble. ‘Tell me you feel the way I do. As long as I know that I can wait.’ He pulled a hand through his hair in the gesture Meagan was coming to know so well. ‘If you don’t love me…well, I guess I’ll have to live with that.’
‘Of course I love you, you idiot,’ Meagan capitulated. ‘I guess I have loved you since the night we met.’ She could read the triumph in his deep brown eyes. He grinned.
‘Well, then, baby or no baby, you will have to marry me.’ He held a finger to her lips. ‘I am warning you, Meagan, I won’t stop asking you until you say yes.’
Meagan sank back on her makeshift bed. ‘Then, you great big stubborn man, I guess I will just have to say yes. It seems it’s the only way I am going to get any peace.’
She had just enough time to see his smile before once again he was kissing her.
‘My love, mo ghràigh, I’ll love you until the end of time,’ he whispered between kisses.
‘Just you see that you do, Dr Stuart,’ she said. And deep in her heart she knew that, whatever the future would bring, she could face anything with this man by her side.
