I disliked hearing him refer to Laoghaire, no matter what the context. “Oh, it was,” he replied seriously, taking no notice of my sarcasm. “I think it was that I didna care enough for her to think of it, let alone do it.” “You didn’t care enough to beat her? Wasn’t she the lucky one, then?” He caught the tone of pique in my voice; his eyes sharpened and fixed on my face. “Not to hurt her,” he said. Some new thought came to him; I saw it cross his face. He smiled a little, got up, and came toward me. He reached down and pulled me to my feet, then took hold of my wrist, which he lifted gently over my head and pinned against the trunk of the pine I had been sitting under, so that I was obliged to lean back flat against it. “Not to hurt her,” he said again, speaking softly. “To own her. I didna want to possess her. You, mo nighean donn—you, I would own.” “Own me?” I said. “And what, exactly, do you mean by that?” “What I say.” There was still a gleam of humor in his eyes, but his voice was serious. “Ye’re mine, Sassenach. And I would do anything I thought I must to make that clear.”
