She Owns the Knight
““Nay, Gillian, you are not. You already have your pack and there is no place for the child.”
Gillian raised her chin and shifted Amelia on her hip. “Then we can walk. I’ll carry her.”
Kellen threw his arms up in the air, turned away, then back again. Muttering under his breath, he took Amelia, set her on the ground, lifted Gillian onto his horse, handed Amelia up, then mounted.
He sat unmoving for a moment. “Must you take your pack?” he asked with exaggerated patience.
She risked a glance at hi...s gorgeous face, at his lips, compressed in a tight line, and tried to shift so the pack on her back wasn’t against his chest. “Yes, I must,” she said in a small voice.
He sighed, giving up any pretense of patience. “I will yield. But only as I want this finished. I do not wish to give you an excuse to insist we go once more. I want your word that after this day you will not mention the blasted place again. Not once until I am an old man and ’tis time to place my weary, browbeaten bones into the ground.MoreLess
