Sorcha said, “When Cináed was born, it was a terrible ordeal for Bram to witness. The same thing happened.”
“What did you do?”
“I had to seduce my husband and make him understand this was just the way of things. If a bairn resulted, then so be it.”
“I guess it worked, seeing as you’re expecting again.”
“Aye, it did. A good man will always be afraid for his woman. All we can do is keep loving them through the fear.”
“You truly are wise Sorcha Henderson. I am so glad you married Bram. He is lucky to have you.”
“Oh, I am not wise. I grew up in MacGregor Keep. Stubborn men have surrounded me my whole life and then I married one. One thing I have learned is when they love it is deep and sometimes you need to help them trust everything will be all right.”
Yesenda nodded, taking in all this newfound wisdom.
Then Sorcha added, “But it still helps to be naked while doing it.”
They burst out laughing.

Iain’s Cottage, Henderson Land – Life is Life
“Iain, come here, please. Can you pass me that plaid? I just need to put something warm around me.” Yesenda stepped out of her bath completely nude, her body glistening from the water, and Iain went rock hard in an instant. He held his breath as he watched her move towards the fire and dry herself. She had filled out some after the birth of their babe. The midwife said it was safe to resume relations again, but Iain would not risk it. He knew his wife was using her wiles on him.
Yesenda tied up her hair in front of the fire. Her breasts were full, and her figure was shapelier. She carried weight around her middle with a slight bump to show where she had cradled his bairn inside her. Iain inhaled a sharp breath, his mouth wide open, trying not to lust after his wife, but it was no use. He longed to run his tongue across every inch of her.
Yesenda patted the towel across her body, and, like a siren’s song, she beckoned to him.
“Iain? Are you going to stand there gawking all night? Or are you going to come and help me get ready for bed?” She gave him a coy glance, giving him a view of her shapely thighs and backside.
“What?” Iain rasped and swallowed hard.
“Come and join me by the fire. So, you can keep me warm.” She turned to face him, and Iain just groaned.
“See something you like, Iain?”
“Damn you woman, put some bloody clothes on now,” he growled as he threw a plaid at her.
“Oh, I appear to be very clumsy of late,” Yesenda said, deliberately dropping the plaid.
“Dinnae give me that. You can catch a mace and a bloody arrow. Are you trying to make me lose my resolve?” He clenched his fists, so he did not reach out for her.
Yesenda went in for the kill. “Aye, husband I am. I have a frightful need to be pleasured. I need to feel your mouth suckling me here.” She caressed her breasts. “And I need your hard shaft deep inside me here.” She moved her hand down between her thigh to caress her heat. “And I need your tongue—”
Yesenda gave a high-pitched yelp because before she could finish her sentence, Iain was across the room hoisting her over his shoulder. He strode towards the bed and tossed her on it as he began undoing his trews.
“Damn you and your seductive ways.”
She giggled.
Then Iain paused and said with concern, “Are you sure, love? I cannot bear to see you suffer any pain. If anything happens to you, I will not survive it.”
She caressed his jaw and said, “Iain, life is life. We must live it the best we can and be thankful for each day.”
“My wife is a wise woman.”
“Aye, I am. No matter what happens, dinnae deny me the honor of loving you.”
