  HIGHLAND CAPTIVE
  
  
  
  
  
  Aimil
  
  
  eyed Parlan intently. “I dinnae suppose ye may have changed your mind.”
  
  
  
  
  
  “Nay.
  
  
  I was determined to have ye as soon as I kenned ye werenae a child too young
  
  
  for the having.”
  
  
  
  
  
  Parlan
  
  
  scooped her up in his arms and gently deposited her on the bed. It astounded
  
  
  her that such a large man could move with such silent speed. When he partially
  
  
  covered her body with his own, she shivered slightly. His large, strong body
  
  
  made her feel very small and very fragile, yet she was not really afraid.
  
  
  Instead, she felt the desire she craved to taste eke into her veins.
  
  
  
  
  
  “Dinnae
  
  
  be afeard of me, sweeting. I mean only to pleasure ye,” he whispered, brushing
  
  
  soft kisses over her cheeks.
  
  
  
  
  
  “Pleasure
  
  
  yourself, ye mean,” she grumbled, but felt an odd tingling where his lips
  
  
  touched her skin.
  
  
  
  
  
  “Aye,
  
  
  but ye as weel, Aimil. Just relax and give yourself over to me.”
