The Raider
“Douglas, not surprisingly, was at the opposite end.
He knew she was still uneasy around Douglas, even though his friend had stopped looking at her as if she were Satan’s spawn (or in this case, his sister). He took a seat on the other side of Seton to act as another barrier. It wasn’t because he didn’t think he could take sitting next to her for a couple of hours. He couldn’t be that weak.
Bloody hell.
He spent most of the meal conversing with Fraser and trying to ignore the easy conversation b...etween his partner and the woman who was driving him to distraction. What in the hell were they talking about? Why were they whispering? Why was she laughing so much? And why did he care?
Because Seton was right. Robbie was jealous. Deeply and irrationally jealous. He might not be able to have her, but he couldn’t stand the thought of someone else having her—and sure as hell not the partner who’d been a thorn in his side.
He was saved from doing something embarrassing—like bellowing at them to stop making so much noise—by the appearance before him of one of the serving women.MoreLess
