He saw me, stood stock-still for an instant, and then I was in his arms, the overwhelming warmth and size of him blotting out in an instant everything around me. I didn’t know where my blood had gone. Every drop had left my head, and flickering lights danced before my eyes—but none of it was supplying my legs, which had abruptly dissolved under me. Jamie was holding me up and kissing me, tasting of beer and his beard stubble rasping my face, his fingers buried in my hair, and my breasts warmed and swelled against his chest. “Oh, there it is,” I murmured. “What?” he asked, breaking off for a moment. “My blood.” I touched my tingling lips. “Do that again.” “Oh, I will,” he assured me. “But there are a number of English soldiers in the neighborhood, and I think—” The sound of pounding came from below, and reality snapped back into place like a rubber band. I stared at him and sat down very suddenly, my heart pounding like a drum. “Why the bloody hell aren’t you dead?”
