But behind them, they could hear Archie say, “I told ye he was quite capable o’ being our only heir.”

“You said no such thing, but as I recall, I did,’ Neville replied smugly.

“Well, I thought it,” Archie protested.

At the top of the stairs, Sabrina whispered to Duncan, “That was nicely done.”

Duncan paused long enough to kiss her, a possessive kiss, a teasing kiss, a kiss that was very—arousing. “D’you think so?” And then quite huskily, “Then I wonder what you’ll have tae say
aboot the rest o’ what I’m meaning tae do just now, because, lass, I have missed you.”

“But you’ve seen me everyday,” she pointed out, quite misunderstanding.

“Nae, I’ve seen you, but I havena seen you.

The “rest” wasn’t just more kissing. No, the ‘rest” began when he tossed her over his shoulder before he continued on the way to his room.

Sabrina wasn’t going to say it aloud, but that had been rather barbaric of him. Then she chuckled to herself. It was going to be interesting, having a Highlander for a husband, interesting and so very wonderful. And the only wondering that she actually did, was if she would ever get over the amazement that her dreams really had come true.
