Running Scarred (21 page)

A growl sounded deep in Patrick’s chest.

“Well, that would be nice, but since I’ve had this new leg fitted, I don’t need to take it off so often. Certainly not for things that are done in the heat of the moment. Well, so they tell me, I’ve not had the chance to actually test out the theory yet.” He caught her lip between his teeth.

She was gasping, barely able to speak.

“So do you want any help then?” She managed to whisper, before Patrick’s tongue began tasting her mouth again. He pulled back a fraction, then scooped her up in his arms and shouldered his way out of the kitchen. He carried silently her through the great hall and out of the Chateau straight along the path to his cottage in the woods. He kicked his way through the front door and marched with her into his bedroom. He laid her carefully on the bed and gazed longingly over her whole body.

He answered her at last.

“Do I want any help testing the theory, you mean? Oh God Yes!” And he began tearing off his shirt.
