Hellion (Seven Brides for Seven Bastards, 7)
“Therefore she would concede to this terrible, lusty desire to play with Salvador d'Anzeray while she still could. The morning sun, merry birdsong and that glorious expanse of blue summer sky had cheered her spirit that day, made her feel invincible.
Before a new husband was sent to her and the walls of her prison closed in, she must make the most of it.
Later, when her guards reported back that the fence posts had been moved to give her four feet of additional land at the end of her field, she ...felt a skip of excitement. He had complied, taken her bait. Now she must fulfill her side of the bargain.
She wrote him a message and sent it via the boy, Harold, a slim, freckled lad who could approach d'Anzeray's gates without fear of being shot at with arrows. The only one of her servants he had ever allowed near his fortress.
Only after Harold had gone did she pause to wonder whether Salvador could read. Oh well, too late now.
Hopefully he could.
She ordered a bath and had Elyce rub her body from head to toe with perfumed oil.MoreLess
