The Meeting … The Vow
She had stepped into an eerie world; for the first time in
her life she knew the terror of the hunted creature. There
were mist-wraiths lurking under the great oaks that reached
out to grasp her; the call of a hunting owl brought her heart
quaking up into her mouth. Blodeuedd had been turned into
an owl for betraying her man and taking another-why
should that cry come to haunt her now? One of the trees
stirred and came towards her and she nearly screamed, then
Elidir’s mouth was on hers and his arms tight around her.
He carried her under the trees, pulled off her cloak and
shift and laid her naked on the couch of ferns he had
prepared, covered with the sheepskin from his saddle. After
her fear and cold loneliness it was a miracle to feel his warm
strength. She pulled him down on to her, into her, with a
desperate urgency that left no time for love-play. He could
not be too close for her to feel safe enough, if his mouth
sucked the breath from her lungs and his weight crushed her
ribs.
“I belong to you now-don’t ever desert me.”
He raised his head and stared at her. His lips were drawn
back from his teeth. “If anyone tried to take you from me
now, I’d kill him.”
