“Sir Bedivere.” Her voice sounded meek and breathy. Had his kiss done that to her?
“Aye, my lady?” He slowly turned around to face her.
“What is yer answer?”
“My answer?” He pushed back a stray hair from his face. “Answer to what?”
“Am I the bonniest one or is it my sister or perhaps one of my cousins?”
His eyes raked down her body as she hugged her arms around her tightly. She sent mixed signals and this confused him. She seemed so fierce and bold but, at the same time, unsure of herself. He didn’t know what to make of it. Morag’s cheeks blushed with a rosy hue. And when their eyes met next, her gaze quickly dropped to the ground. This made her seem shy. But she’d also slapped him hard which made her a feisty wench.
She continued to hug herself so tightly that it would take a pry bar to get her to drop her shield of protection. Aye, Morag Douglas was a very complicated girl. Being pretty to a fault, but with a tongue that wagged like a flag, he didn’t know if he should trust her, fear her, or hate her. One minute she kissed him and the next she pushed him away. Oh, why did he have to contend with this right now? He had other worries on his mind and really didn’t need the distraction.
“I’ll tell you the answer to that, my lady, when you learn how to kiss a man properly,” he replied. “After all, even a virgin like you should have some idea what to do while in a man’s arms.”
“What?” she asked. Her eyes blinked twice in a row. Her hug of protection loosened and her hands balled into fists, moving to rest on her hips. “What do ye mean, I dinna ken how to kiss?” Her face held the look of being insulted and her words dripped with venom. “And how do ye ken that I am a virgin?”
Well, he’d guessed correctly about that part. And in his experience, the girls who were virgins were always the most trouble. He had to say or do something that would repel her enough so she never wanted to be near him or ask him personal questions again.
“Forgive me for being so blunt but you kiss like a dead fish, my lady. And by the way you had your arms clutched around you so tightly, I can guarantee that it was not only your first kiss but also the first time a man has ever touched you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a tent to pitch.”
