A Scot Like You (The MacLarens Of Balmorie, 2) - Plot & Excerpts
"I can't believe I slept with you." Sparks shot into the dark sky as he tossed the branch onto the fire. "There are worse things," he said quietly, and Kate immediately felt like a jerk. "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that." He sat down on the opposite side of the picnic blanket. He'd put everything back on except the T-shirt that had been beneath his flannel shirt. Now that flannel gaped open revealing a chest that Kate was very familiar with and very attached to. He looked so comfortable, completely at home on their little island in the loch. And, yet, there was a vulnerability in his eyes mixed with the quiet sense of strength that always surrounded him. Emotions swelled inside of her. She wanted him, all the good and all the bad. And it terrified her. "All right," he draped his forearms over his bent knees and met her gaze. "What did you mean then?" "I don't know… I just meant I didn't come here for this." A brown eyebrow arched and he flicked his gaze to the novel lying discarded on the ground.
