Unlaced By the Outlaw (Secrets in Silk)
“The fire had dwindled down to embers, and Cain couldn’t sleep. Margaret had kept a firm distance between them, and he suspected she’d continued to sleep in a chair simply for propriety’s sake. It was ridiculous, for there was no one to care about it. And he wanted her to be comfortable. There was room enough on the bed for both of them, and there was no reason for Margaret to suffer because she was too embarrassed to share the space.Silently, he got up, placing his pillow as a divider. His limb...s were stiff, but he could move easier now than a few days ago. He saw Margaret twisted in the chair with her head resting upon her arm. Without asking, he reached out and lifted her up. She stirred, murmuring, “What’s wrong, Sinclair?”“Naught, lass. Go back to sleep.” He laid her down on the other side of the bed with the single pillow between them. She wasn’t conscious of anything, but the moment she stretched out on the mattress, he covered her with the blanket. Then he lay down upon the opposite side.MoreLess
