It was as if a volt shot up her spine, and she arched and came so deeply that it was he who moaned at the tight clutch of Merida as he filled her.
And never, not for a moment now, would he doubt their love.
He just had to find a way through to her.
Instead of lying spent in his arms, Merida had climbed from the bed and headed to the shower. Appalled at her own lack of restraint and how she had just shattered to his touch.
She vowed, outside the bedroom, never to let down her guard for a second.
But she’d be a liar if she promised to resist him.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

And Merida in turn had him.
By day she spent his money and played the part of a gold-digger well. But at night she was on her knees.
Tonight, though, was date night. For appearances’ sake.
Their last, because tomorrow Naomi arrived.

‘Good for you.’
He did make her smile. And he knew that when he’d sent her to Howard he had, in his backhanded way, only been trying to help her adjust to a very lavish life.
Rather rarely, it wasn’t just bed that was on Ethan’s mind tonight. He wantedMerida. The real one who still eluded him. Oh, he knew that he’d hurt her badly, but he rather hoped he knew where he might find her...
‘There’s been a change,’ he told her. ‘We’re going to seeNight Forest.’
