Page 41 of Her Forbidden Highlander Husband

Mari came out and took the children. She glanced at Liam and turned red again. He felt the flames licking at his neck.

When she was gone, Cam crossed his arms. “What was that about?” he asked, his brows creased.

“What was what?” Liam looked away.

“What did you do to my wife?”

“Nothing! I mean, we spoke on some things. Personal things I came to speak to ye about, but she offered and—Christ—I don’t think I’ll be able to look her in the eye the rest of my days.”

Cam still looked angry but relaxed a bit. “What was it you wanted to know?”

“Mari suggested I let Evelyn control things between us. In our bed.”

Cam’s eyes went wide in surprise. “You spoke to my wife of bedding?”

“As I said, I wanted to speak to you of it, but she insisted she could help. In truth, she did help a great bit. But I wasn’t able to ask her the most important part, for I was afraid our embarrassment would be such that the house might burn down around us.”

“What was the part you still want to know?” Cam’s shoulders relaxed but his arms were still crossed.

“It’s fine. I’ll figure it out.”

“Liam, you must be desperate if you took to relying on Mari for answers. Just have out with it.”

“You’ll make light of my situation.”

“Probably. But do you want to know or not?” Cam grinned at him and smacked his shoulder.

Yes. He did want to know. “It’s just, I may not have another opportunity with Ev if I don’t do it right the first time. She’s skittish and even if she’s in control, I’m not sure she would care do it a second time if I do not give her reason to enjoy it. Do you ken what I’m saying?”

“Aye. You want to know how to please her.”

“Very much so.”

“I’m sure you have your own…ways of doing things.”

“I do, but I’m certain they’re not good enough. Mari pointed out how women don’t like it to be over fast, and I may have been rather hasty.”

“Christ almighty, you spoke to my wife of such things?”

“Nay. She spoke to me of them.”

“Go slow,” Cam barked.

“Aye. I got that part already.” He definitely needed to apologize to a number of the maids for his error when he saw them again.

“When you do something, if she makes a good sound about it, do it again.” Cam scratched his head and looked away. Were his cheeks turning pink?

Liam wouldn’t have expected the big man to be embarrassed by anything. He might have laughed if he wasn’t so bloody uncomfortable with the conversation.

“That…that makes a great deal of sense,” he said.

“Once you’re more comfortable with each other, you can ask her straight out what she likes and doesn’t. Listen well when she tells you what pleases her and, by God, make sure ye do it.”

“Aye. I will. Thank ye. And please thank Mari for me again.” Liam mounted his horse and turned for the castle.

He would make sure tonight would be perfect.
