thrown back, his body seeking its own release. Melody
watched in amazement as he gave himself over fully to what his body was
experiencing, his own emotions playing across his face. She felt tears of
wonder well in her eyes, knowing he felt so unrestrained, so free to let
himself go as she had.
    When
it was over, they lay in each other’s arms, both breathing heavily. Melody was
reluctant to move, not wanting to break the bonds, both physical and emotional,
between them. It was Logan who finally raised his head, looking down at her.
    “And
so, that was good for you then?”
    Even
in the dim light she saw the teasing glint in his eye.
    “As
you would say…aye, t’was.” Giggles overtook her as Logan rolled his eyes,
shaking his head in mock reproach.
    “Oh,
no…I’m sorry. Never let me try to imitate you again.”
    Her
giggles subsided as Logan rolled onto his side next to her, his fingers tracing
the line of her cheek, her earlobe, moving down over her throat. She took his
hand, kissing his fingertips.
    “But
yes, it was good. More than good. Exceptionally good.”
    It
was Logan’s turn to laugh. “You’ll have my head swelling if you keep that up.”
He grew serious.
    “But
it is special, no? What’s between us, I mean. There’s something different with
you, Melody. Sex is sex, and I’ve had too many women where it’s been just sex.
Fun, yes. But nothing more. But with you…it goes deeper, lasts longer. I feel
you here…” He took her hand, placing it on his chest, over his heart.
    “What
were you saying to me? The words, I mean? I couldn’t understand you.”
    “It’s
Gaelic. Tha gaol agam ort …” Logan went silent, rolling onto his back,
still holding her hand. She could feel his heart beating beneath her fingers.
    “And?
What does it mean?” She leaned on her elbow, looking down at him as he lay with
his eyes closed. He spoke without opening them.
    “Don’t
be alarmed…remember, it was spoken in the heat of the moment. I don’t expect
the same sentiment from you; I have no claim to lay there.”
    He
opened his eyes, his look direct, unflinching. “It means ‘I love you’.”
    Melody’s
eyes widened. “And do you?”
    Logan
turned toward her, kissing her fingertips. “Aye, I did when I said it.”
    “Do
you still?” Her voice was breathless. He must be teasing me.
    But
his eyes were serious, as was his voice. “Aye, I do. Tá mo chroí istigh ionat .”
    Melody held her breath. Logan kissed her gently before
he spoke, her hand still pressed against his chest.
    “My heart is within you.”

    She’d
thought Logan had fallen asleep but he stirred when she tried to pull the sheet
over her shoulder, tugging it from beneath his arm.
    “Are
ye cold? I’m a blanket thief, you’ll have to forgive me.” Logan sat up,
untangling the sheet and pulling it over both of them.
    “Logan,
why did you leave last time without waking me? Why just a note?”
    “I
was wondering when you’d ask about that. It was selfish; I had a plane to catch
and I knew if I woke ye, there’d be no hope for me, I’d never have left. I
wanted you too badly.”
    His
arm was around her shoulders, his fingers idly running through her hair, his
voice soft and low. “I saw you there, asleep, in the wee hours of the morning,
and I thought I’d never seen anything so beautiful in my life. I wanted to wake
you and take you, then and there. But I wrote a note instead, snuck away like a
coward and then…well, we know the rest.”
    Logan
shifted, pulling her closer. “I am sorry, Melody. Truly. It was a coward’s way
out. I shouldn’t have just left a note. I should have woken you, made love to
you again, left you happy. At the very least, I should have sung you back to
sleep.”
    Melody
smiled against Logan’s chest. “Well, it’s in the past now. But don’t ever do it
again.”
     “Aye,
never again.” He found her lips in the dark, his kiss gentle but quickly
deepening. After a time he broke
