“Ye didna mind me today, and it almost cost ye yer life. Come tomorrow morning, ye’ll be sore and tired, but we’re leaving for home, anyway. I don’t want to hear one word of complaint from ye. If ye ever blatantly disobey me again where it’s a question of safety, I’ll welt yer ass before Caelan fucks it. Understood?”
Lizzie nodded, nuzzled his neck, and settled herself in his lap, on his cock, and in their lives.
Caelan joined them and handed Gavan a bottle of whiskey he had with them. He kissed her head.
“Ye scared the shit out of us. Ye could have been killed. Never do it again,” he scolded.
She reached for Caelan’s hand with hers. “I won’t. I’m so, so sorry.”
Both men kissed simultaneously. “Forgiven,” they said in unison.
“Let that be the end of it, Lizzie. Ye ken?” admonished Gavan in a soft, but stern voice.
“Aye,” she said, cuddling up even closer as she fell asleep.
Gavan never moved that night. Lizzie slept and, for the first time, didn’t have bad dreams to disturb her rest.
LIZZIE
* * *
The next morning, she woke in their bedroll alone. Alarmed, she sat up and called for them.
Caelan stood up by the campfire, “Lizzie, ye all right?”
She stood, ran to him and wrapped her arms around his body. “I woke up, and neither of you was there.”
“Of course not, ye lazy bones, ‘tis well into the morning, and we’re leaving for home today.” Caelan saw the concern in her eyes and kissed her gently. “What’s troubling ye?”
Lizzie snuggled against him. “Nothing,” and then yelped when his hand connected with her backside.
“What have ye been told about lying?”
“Truly nothing. I’m just not used to at least one of you being there snuggling with me.”
“Ye didn’t have a lot of snuggling or affection when ye were growing up, did ye, lass?”
She shook her head. “No. You and Gav are the only ones I ever remember caring about me, wanting to make sure I was happy.”
He squeezed her tight. “Then, we’ll just have to make up for lost time.”
She smiled up at him. “Where’s Gav?”
“He had a quick errand to run. I suspect he’ll be back any time now. There he is,” he said pointing to the opening in the canyon.
Caelan was right. Gavan was astride his big appaloosa horse leading a beautiful palomino behind him. Not just any palomino, but her palomino. The one that had been taken from her when she was captured and jailed.
“Outlaw!” she cried, clapping her hands together and laughing.
She turned to Caelan and threw her arms around him, hugging him close, before spinning away and running toward Gavan.
Gavan stopped and reached down to grab her, hoisting her over the saddle in front of him and delivering a sharp blow to her backside.
“Ye didna run up to horses naked and with bare feet,” he scolded as he rode over to Caelan and handed her down. “Ye go get dressed.”
“No,” she said.
