Duty Of The Chieftain - A Highland 'Lord's Right Of The First Night' Novella (Clan MacKrannan's Secret Traditions #3) - Plot & Excerpts
Elinor could contribute no more on the topic, being ignorant of such things, so she stood demurely and applied her thoughts to her role. This was the first duty the clan had asked of her, and she wanted to do it well. Of course, her handicap was that she'd only done it once before, and this was likely to be much different. She was already finding that the theory so thoroughly discussed with the Wisewomen was far removed from the reality of being the sample bride in the client interface. Still, it was oddly appropriate to lie with the Chief on her own wedding night instead of with her husband the chieftain. She had, after all, cheated a real bride out of the same ritual hardly more than a sevennight past. Fate had intervened to have Ranald arrive home to trade places with the Chief, and stupidity had intervened to have Elinor trade places with the bride. This was the outcome of her folly. So be it. Both herself and the Chief were to act as if she were still virgin, which in anything beyond the breach was actually true.
