eyebrows. “Into me! By God? That girl couldn’t keep her hands
off you and Hans and you just adored it, didn’t you!”
    John looked
incredulous “That’s what this is all about? You’re mad because I
talked to that serving wench?”
    Linnett flushed
a deep red and sneered scornfully. “Talked!” Linnett’s voice
dropped copying John’s deep drawl. “ Let me take those heavy
plates for you there, missy ," she mimicked, before
spinning round and marching off again at a brisk pace.
    John grinned
and stood watching her shapely form appreciatively for a second or
two before striding after her. He caught her by the arm and dragged
her down an opening between two buildings. He pushed her roughly up
against the wall, intending to kiss her.
    Linnett’s hand
flew up and slapped him hard across the cheek, leaving a livid palm
impression at the point of impact. John’s eyes smarted but ignoring
the sharp pain, he spun Linnett around and landed two heavy swats
to her already burning bottom. He spun Linnett back to face him,
placed his hands on either side of her furious face, and, forcing
her head up, he kissed her thoroughly. Linnett hit his shoulders
with her fists. She then tried to bring her knee up between his
legs but John forestalled her by quickly pushing his own leg
between hers. Breaking the kiss slightly to grin down at her he
murmured, “Uh- uh naughty- naughty girl!”
    John resumed
the kiss, his lips moving in a sensuous slow rhythm that spoke to
her of passion shared. Linnett felt her legs turn weak and her body
ached with wanting. John drew slightly away from her and whispered
huskily. “Don’t you know yet, you impossible woman , that you
are the only one for me?” He lowered his lips to hers and kissed
her searingly once again. John’s hand moved up over the slope of
her hip until he reached her breast and Linnett immediately broke
the kiss twisting her head to the side.
    “Stop, John, someone might see us ! Stop now... please !” John
grasped her chin in his hand. “Let them stare for all I care, you
are my wife and if I choose to kiss you... then damn it, kiss you I
will!” He lowered his head, his fingers entwined in her silky hair.
To his surprise, Linnett’s arms wound themselves sinuously around
his neck, her hands stroked his thick dark hair, her lips opened
under his, and her tongue darted teasingly between his lips.
    He crushed her
against him and they stood locked in a passionate embrace. When at
last he broke away from her he looked down into her eyes he saw
they were unfocused, a cloudy misty sea green, the colour her eyes
turned whenever she was fully aroused. He smiled at her dreamy
sensual look and kissed her small nose. “We must finish this conversation, later my love... in private.
    Now come, for I
have a present for you.” Linnett reached up to tidy her mussed
hair, “for... me ?” She looked astonished at John and reached
out patting at his pockets. He laughed. “Stop you minx, I don’t
have the gift on me! Come it’s this way.”
    Taking her hand
in his, he towed her along, back the way they had come and along
the street. Eventually he stopped at the livery stable. John hailed
the smithy within and he led out a beautiful russet mare with a jet
black mane and tail. John took the reins from the smith and led the
horse over to where Linnett stood, “Yours!” John said simply
handing her the horse’s reins. Linnett raised a hand and let the
horse sniff her hand and then she turned shining eyes to John. “Oh
I can’t believe this!” Linnett flung her arms round his neck and
kissed his mouth. Spinning back to look at the horse she shook her
head in disbelief. “Oh she’s absolutely beautiful !
Thank you my darling, oh thank you !”
    John looked a
little embarrassed “She’s not the pedigree that your horse Pango
was but well, she is the best I could find at short notice.”
Linnett lifted a glowing face and laughed “John she’s perfect! I
just love her, look at
