Graeme choked. “Magnus told you.”
“Yes.”
“I take it Magnus had a change of heart when it came to Jackie.” He stood her up and turned her around to unbutton her dress.
“Yes, thank goodness.” She craned over her shoulder to look at him. “Apparently, I’m going into business with Magnus.”
“Sorry. I had to come up with something on the fly.”
“Whatever you said is fine. As long as you’re safe.”
“As long asyou’resafe, lass. Don’t ever scare me like that again.”
“I suppose you’ll just have to marry me and make sure that nothing like this ever happens again.”
“You know I will,” he answered.
When he pressed a soft kiss to the back of her neck, she shivered.
“Still cold?”
She smiled. “The opposite.”
He finally wrestled the soaked gown off then wrapped her again in the blanket.
“Knock, knock. Is it safe to come in?” Royal peered around the door, holding a bedraggled piece of fabric. “Found it.”
“My reticule!” Sabrina exclaimed.
“Aye, and everything’s there, money and jewelry.”
“Thank you so much, Royal,” she earnestly replied. “For everything.”
He bowed his head. “Thankyou, my lady, for saving my brother’s life.”
Graeme stripped off his shirt. “We’ll just get changed and be right out, all right?”
“No rush.”
“Royal?” Graeme said as his brother started to close the door.
“Yes?”
“Thank you for taking care of her.”
Royal smiled. “Och, laddie, that’s what Kendricks do, ye ken. We take care of one another.”
“I ken,” Graeme softly replied.
When the door closed, he turned back to Sabrina. “All right, my darling lassie. Let’s get you warmly dressed and back home where you belong.”
She went up on tiptoe to kiss him. “Wherewebelong.”
His arms went around her. “Aye, that.”
She nestled against him.
Home.With Graeme. Nothing had ever sounded so right.
