Chapter 197: The Morning After

Angus gazed down at Anna, again mesmerized by her pale grey eyes. Her sleep-tousled dark hair hung loosely to her shoulders, which were currently wrapped in a fluffy pink bathrobe.

“I’ll see ye at breakfast, then?” he murmured, pressing a kiss to her full pink lips.

Anna nodded, pulling the robe tighter around herself. “I’ll see you there.” She cupped his cheek, and Angus’s immediate thought was that it had been a while since he’d shaved. Not that Anna seemed to mind. He watched the mood shift in her eyes.

“Will you come back tonight?” There was something vulnerable about the question.

“Aye, if ye’ll have me,” he nodded.

In the glow of her dazzling smile, he felt like a king.

“Great! I’ll, um, change the sheets.” Pink flooded her cheeks.

“Perfect. I may drive back inta town for more condoms.” He gave her a wink, and she giggled. “Alright, I’ll be on m’ way, then. See if I can get in a run and a shower before breakfast.”
