A Hint of Rapture
“Angry at himself, he had been staring at the ceiling for hours, watching the shadows dance on the plaster and listening to the howling wind.
What had come over him at the loch? What had become of his resolve to be patient? The questions echoed over and over in his mind, like a taunt, even as he knew their answers.
He had wanted Madeleine Fraser more than he had ever wanted any woman. He wanted her even now, and he was astounded by the strength of his feelings. How had this woman so bewitched hi...m in so short a time? It seemed that whenever he thought of her, or was near her, he lost all control.
Garrett felt like laughing out loud at the absurdity and the sheer hopelessness of his rampant desire. She would never have anything to do with him, not after what he had done. She would probably never trust him.
He could only hope his short note and the return of her dirk had soothed her temper.
He didn't exactly like the idea that she carried such a weapon, and it violated English law. But when he saw the fine engraving on the hilt, he knew he had to give it back to her.MoreLess
