of the rest of the castle. I hope even after what has
happened between us ... ”
    “I’ll gladly
show you around the rest of me home, lass. Kissing or no kissing.”
    Chloe smiled. “Again
I apologize for before.” She frowned. “I don’t know what came over me.”
    “That would be me, lass.” He laughed. “Drive safely home and I
promise the next time I see you I’ll try to be more of a gentleman.”
    Cian settled his
need and pushed it down to the pit of his stomach. He didn’t want to frighten
her, not that the old Chloe was ever frightened of his strength and powers of
persuasion. He inwardly laughed knowing the Chloe of old would never baulk at
what he was currently thinking of doing to her. If he knew this Chloe a little
longer he would have no qualms walking up behind her, pulling her against him
and unzipping her jeans.
    He imagined
pulling them down over her thin thighs, his hand finding her sex hidden behind
delicious black underwear and stroking her before plunging deep into her heated
tight core. He wanted to bend her over and fuck her hard and fast, giving her
orgasm after orgasm just like in their old times.
    His body
shuddered over an imagined thought he knew to be a memory. A memory in a
different time and place. Many different times and places. Still painfully hard
from their escapades upstairs, he shifted his stance and wrenched his mind back
to a more suitable line of thought.
    Cian searched
her face lingering on lips he longed to taste again and greedily plunder. He promised
himself it would not be long before he did. “It’s a date then.”
    Chloe smiled but
ignored his choice of words. She walked up to him and held out her hand. “Well,
I had better go. No doubt your home will soon be buzzing with people and I
don’t want to hold you up. Thank you for the tour. I’m sorry to have pulled you
away from whatever work it was you were doing.”
    Cian placed a
kiss upon her hand. “You’re welcome here anytime, Chloe. Don’t doubt me on
that.” He stood and unable to let her go, placed her hand in the crook of his
arm while he walked her to the door. His body inwardly sighed at having her next
to him again, as if he were coming back to life after a hundred and fifty years
of being dead.
    She gazed at him
before quickly looking away. Cian smiled, thinking it was probably for the best.
For the feral determination to have her again was no doubt visible in his eyes.
It would be enough to frighten anyone.
    Even him on
occasion.

Chapter Four
    Chloe shut the
door in the holiday cottage and leaned against it. Her ragged breaths not
solely due to the distance she had parked the car from the cottage. She had
needed the walking distance to cool off, not that she had.
    She headed into
the kitchen and flicked on the kettle, could hear in the adjoining room another
soccer game playing on the TV and Eddy’s groans and shouts that sporadically
burst from his mouth.
    There was
something dreadfully wrong with her. No woman, newly engaged, and on holidays
with said fiancé, flirted and kissed highlanders. She pulled out a mug and
searched for the sugar. What had she been thinking throwing herself at Cian like
a woman starved of sex?
    To all but plead
with him through her actions for him to fuck her up against the window like
some hussy. Not that such a position wouldn’t be enjoyable ...
    Chloe growled
and ripped open the pantry door while looking into the lounge. Eddy sat there,
feet on coffee table and dishes scattered all over the place. Annoyance tinged
with guilt stabbed at her. Eddy was a slob and quite annoying to go on holidays
with, but he was good and he deserved better than her kissing and having very
inappropriate thoughts with another man.
    She sighed and
stared at the kettle.
    “I’ll have a
coffee if you’re making one.”
    “Sure.” Chloe
smiled and got out another cup. “Eddy?” She paused when his mobile rang.
    She absently
listened to his conversation while she made their drinks
