  IN HIS BED
  
  
  
  
  
  “Sine,”
  
  
  Gamel whispered, “how was I to ken that ye were a virgin?”
  
  
  
  
  
  She
  
  
  looked at him with faint curiosity. “And would ye have let me be if ye had
  
  
  kenned it?”
  
  
  
  
  
  “Nay,”
  
  
  he answered with quiet honesty as he eased the covers down her body.
  
  
  
  
  
  “Then
  
  
  what matter? I am still in your bed through a bargain. I abide with you this
  
  
  night.” Catriona said this even as she inwardly cursed the heat which
  flickered
  
  
  to life within her as he lightly trailed his fingers over her breasts.
  
  
  
  
  
  “Not
  
  
  just this night, Sine Catriona. Ye are mine.” Gamel bent his head to softly
  
  
  kiss the erect tip of each breast. “Ye are mine, Sine Catriona. Say it. Admit
  
  
  it,” he ordered, framing her face with his hands.
  
  
  
  
  
  She
  
  
  knew he was right. She was his. She knew that bond would hold no matter who or
  
  
  what came into their lives.
  
  
  
  
  
  “Aye,”
  
  
  she finally said. “Aye, I am yours…”
